cold moon is king

A few insects suddenly broke the silence of the night. Chu Jiangli's eyelashes trembled slightly. After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at the Adam's apple in front of him helplessly, and struggled slightly, but Lu Jinyin surrounded him. In his arms, he hugged him tightly, there was nothing he could do.

Chu Jiangli stretched out his hand to caress Lu Jinyin's chin, and scratched it lightly. Lu Jinyin frowned in his dream, subconsciously let go of Chu Jiangli's hand, and touched his chin.

It was only then that Chu Jiangli was able to escape. He got up from the bed lightly, smoothed the gap between Lu Jinyin's eyebrows and kissed him again.

If it wasn't for the imminent arrival of the sacrificial offering, the palace was strictly guarded, except for the eunuchs who bought the eunuchs, everyone else was forbidden to leave the palace, so he would have gone out to find Elias by himself.

However, it is feasible for Shi Xue to go, but with Shi Xue's uncertain nature, something may happen again, but apart from Shi Xue, there is probably no reliable person who can send the letter into the palace at this time .

He sighed faintly, and gently closed the door of the inner room. As soon as he turned around, he saw a person standing silently behind him. He was not frightened, but the person was already disappointed. The round eyes reflected his pale face, and he pursed his mouth and said, "Brother, you are so boring!"

Chu Jiangli shook his head, pushed him away with a snort, walked to the table and sat down, and poured a cup of tea, "Then how interesting is that? Doing chivalry, punishing evil and eradicating evil?" He paused Suddenly, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, his eyes were full of autumn light, and there was a soft smile through the moonlight, "It's better to rob the rich and help the poor again, and steal a few more paintings by Mrs. Li, isn't it?"

Shi Xue couldn't figure out whether Jiang Li was asking him to settle accounts or making fun of him for a moment, her heart froze, she grinned her white teeth, her dimples sunk into her cheeks, and said with a smile: "No, no, big brother, big brother is like this Very interesting."

Chu Jiangli said meaningfully, then suddenly changed the subject, "Did you see someone?"

Shi Xue nodded: "See you."

"how do you feel?"

Shi Xue chuckled, "Brother, you didn't drug him, did you?"

Hearing his tone of asking for credit, Chu Jiangli immediately had a headache, but he also knew that Shi Xue was kind, so he said helplessly, "What medicine did you use?"

Shi Xue's eyes rolled around, "What medicine can I use, of course it's the ancient doctor's 'that doesn't hurt, the moon is easy'."

The medicine was originally called Tongjin Baodan, and the antidote had to be taken once a month, otherwise, on the full moon day of that month, the pain would be excruciating, as if the tendons had been cut off, and in the end, Shixue's unscrupulous mouth It became like this.

Chu Jiangli was speechless for a long while, and could only say: "Don't use doubtful people, but don't doubt employing people."

Shi Xue hurriedly said: "Hey, big brother, that's because you are too kind. That Hasna last time..." He just opened his mouth, and seeing Chu Jiangli's face darken, he stopped talking, and baffled, "Brother, you are just too kind."

Chu Jiangli knew that he was not too kind at all, or that he was too gullible and self-righteous, thinking that everything was firmly in the palm of his hand.

It's just that this time Ilias is indeed in his hands. Ilias' purpose is very clear, and he can see it clearly from those eyes full of hatred.

Before he helped Elias achieve his goal, this man could still believe in a letter.

When Shi Xue saw that Chu Jiangli had stopped speaking, she knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, she pursed her lips and took out a letter from her bosom, and said in a low voice, "Brother, take a quick look, this time is really a big deal."

Chu Jiangli took the letter, his eyes swept up and down, and his face suddenly changed. He clenched the letter tightly in his hand, the thick night rolled in his eyes, and the air fell into a weird silence for a while.

Shi Xue knew that the matter was serious, so she didn't dare to speak out rashly. She watched Chu Jiangli's hand clenched tighter and tighter. He couldn't think of a good solution. After deliberating for a while, he came up with the most reasonable solution: " Brother, why don't you let Bailifei sneak into that person's house in the middle of the night and kill him?"

The veins on Chu Jiangli's forehead twitched, he couldn't help but reached out and rubbed the center of his brows, and said in a low voice: "An important official of the court was suddenly killed at home, do you know how much panic this will cause in the court, let alone his high position , the family has long been prepared, is it so easy to kill?"

Shi Xue pursed her mouth, glanced wildly, her gaze was attracted by something, and she said absent-mindedly: "Then why?

What to do? "

Chu Jiangli lowered his eyes, stroked the thin letter paper with two fingers, and said in a deep voice: "First, send Chu Mu to watch the man's mansion for me to see if there is any change, to confirm the authenticity of this letter, and the third prince The government should also send someone to watch over it, and leave the matter of His Highness to me."

Shi Xue's mind was no longer on this, she was in a trance for a long time, and suddenly came back to her senses, "Okay."

Chu Jiangli followed his gaze and saw that his gaze was glued to a picture of a beauty on the wall, he glanced sideways, and a gentle smile appeared on his face, "Does it look good? "

Shi Xue nodded blankly, as if he was attracted by his soul, he walked towards the painting step by step, he looked up at the fairy in the painting, his skin was as white as snow without any blemishes, his hair was black as clouds, and the woman With lowered eyebrows and eyes, looking at the butterfly resting on her fingertips, her whole body exudes a soft and charming atmosphere, and the crooked phoenix crown on her head identifies her identity as a woman.

Shi Xue had never seen Empress Duan Shun before. He had always heard that Concubine Yun Gui was a beauty, but he never thought that Empress Duan Shun who died young was even more beautiful. He blinked and said hesitantly: "Brother, this painting can... ..."

Chu Jiangli flatly refused: "No, there is no need to say any more."

Shi Xue pursed her lips, thought for a while, then pulled Chu Jiangli's sleeve with a smile and shook it, "I'll trade you the ointment from Fengyue Pavilion, and I'll promise you one more thing, I promise to do it!"

Chu Jiangli's eyes fell on Shixue's swearing face, "That's all for the ointment, promise me one thing? Can you do anything?"

Shi Xue nodded quickly, "Yes, anything is fine! I, Shi Xue, can't follow my words!"

Chu Jiangli rubbed his fingers, thought for a moment, and said, "Okay, if you want to, I'll pick it up in a few days."

Shi Xue didn't doubt that he was there, and she was overjoyed and said: "Brother, from now on, if you say east, I will never go west!"

In the end, among the three brothers, Shi Xue always only listened to him, he would talk east, Shi Xue would not go west, but occasionally Shi Xue was mischievous and made some harmless jokes.

He sent Shi Xue away, and recalled what was said in the letter. If what was said in the letter was true, then they would start to do it on the day of sacrificial offering.

Chu Jiangli rubbed his forehead, his heart was full of inexplicable melancholy, what Shi Xing said was right, the ruling and the opposition were much more difficult than the military camp, and this road was really difficult to walk.

Shi Xing had stopped him at the beginning, not allowing him to accept this difficult official position, but he wanted to be His Highness's right-hand man, determined to make a name for himself in the government and the public.

Now he has become the crown princess, and his highness has completely become a grasshopper on the same rope.

He walked into the inner room, squatted on the side of the bed and looked at the shallow mark between Lu Jinyin's eyebrows, and couldn't help but reach out to smooth it away. If possible, he would rather be more tired, as long as His Highness can be innocent and happy in his dreams.

After thinking this way, he fell into a tangle again. He wanted His Highness to live a life of innocence and happiness, at ease, and at the same time, he wanted to help the prince achieve great things and create a generation of wise kings.

But these two choices are inherently in conflict.

He sighed softly, and climbed onto the bed again, the quilt was still warm, the coolness he brought in did not affect Lu Jinyin in the slightest, instead Lu Jinyin quickly touched him, wrapping him tightly arms.

Lu Jinyin's palms were warm and pressed against his back, and the warmth radiated into his body like silk. He rested his head on Lu Jinyin's chest, heard the steady heartbeat inside, and slowly closed his hands. Eye.

There is nothing that can stop him. The choice must be made by him. It is not up to others to intervene. Your Highness is definitely not a stepping stone for some people.

As soon as it was dawn, the bell for sacrificial offerings was rang by the eunuch who was in charge of the ceremony. The deep and distant bell broke through the quiet morning and reached every courtyard of the palace.

Lu Jinyin was very excited to participate in the sacrificial ceremony for the first time. He kept clamoring for Chu Jiangli to talk about the customs of the sacrificial ceremony all night.

It was a rare thing that Lu Jinyin didn't stay in bed. He rubbed his eyes and got up from the bed, looked at the empty bed beside him, pulled on his shoes and walked towards the door with ease.

Nie Zheng was listening to Chu Jiangli's orders in the yard. When he saw Lu Jinyin coming out, he trotted forward and said in surprise, "Your Highness, why are you up? Put on your clothes quickly, don't catch a cold!"

Lu Jinyin is thin

A thin jacket, the autumn wind blowing through the hall, blowing the hem of his white jacket flying, revealing half of his thin waist, Chu Jiangli couldn't help frowning, hesitant to speak.

Lu Jinyin suddenly felt guilty, and hurried to the door.

Putting on a thick cloak, he ran out and threw himself into Chu Jiangli's arms. He was tall, and even if he threw himself in, he would just lower his head and bury his head in Chu Jiangli's neck. He was vague. He muttered softly: "Yueming, don't frown."

He secretly raised his eyes to look at Chu Jiangli's smooth and delicate chin, wondering, "Frowning is beautiful, blinking is beautiful, expressionless is also beautiful, Yueming, why are you so beautiful?"

"Does Your Highness like it?" Chu Jiangli asked softly.

For some reason, Lu Jinyin felt shy, his face turned crimson, and the roots of his ears were slowly burning. He pursed his lips, and said for a while, "Of course I like it."

Chu Jiangli couldn't hide the smile on his lips, his brows and eyes were bent, and tenderness naturally flowed from his eyes, he said in a warm voice, "Because His Highness likes it, so she is beautiful."

Nie Zheng only felt that he was going to suffocate. He couldn't understand how Ling Yun could serve His Highness the Crown Prince for so long. Didn't he feel very bored? It's only been a long time, and he has filled a basket full of what he should and should not listen to. .

He was inexplicably happy, because he could hear these words, which also meant that the general had no defense against him, and he was trusted by the general.

He also kept in mind what the general said this morning. Today he has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders. If he completes today's task this time, he will soon be able to return to the hidden guards just like Ling Yun. event.
