Not seeing Chu Ao for seven days in a row, Lin Zhong's lovesickness became worrying, he sighed at the moon all day long, and shed tears of lovesickness in vain.However, he was under house arrest in the East Palace, and it was difficult to move an inch. The Imperial Forest Army alone surrounded the Prince's Palace with three floors inside and three floors outside. From time to time, the Imperial Forest Army patrolled back and forth. I don't know how many times a day. This kind of defense, I'm afraid not even a bird can fly in.

That one, since the last time he vomited blood and was sent back to the mansion by the palace people, he has been lying on the bed like a dead person for seven whole days without saying a word.

Until the eighth day, I couldn't bear it anymore, and at night, I sneaked into the palace.

"Guoer...Guoer..." Lin Zhong heard Chu Ao calling him softly, thinking it was a dream.

Suddenly, a fruit fell from above and hit Lin Zhong in the face. He came to full consciousness and looked around, but he couldn't see Chu Ao.

"Chu Ao, is that you? Are you there?" The surroundings were all dark, the candles were all extinguished, and Lin Zhong was trying to find one to light.

"Guo'er, I'm up there!" Chu Ao suppressed his voice, afraid that the Imperial Forest Army below would hear it.

As soon as Lin Zhong raised his head, he gasped in shock.

Chu Ao, you actually dug such a big hole on the roof of the East Palace without anyone noticing it!

"Chu Ao!" Seeing that smiling face, Lin Zhong couldn't help crying again.

"Alas, Guoer, why are you crying again? I don't want to see you cry! When you cry, my heart will die of pain!" Covering his heart, Chu Ao hurriedly coaxed him.

"I miss you so much...Chu Ao..." Lin Zhong bit his lips quickly, but tears still came out of his eyes one by one.

"Good fruit, it's a good thing you said that, but it brought me back to life. Don't say any more nonsense about not wanting to see me. You don't have to see me unless I'm dead."

"What nonsense are you talking about, don't curse yourself like that." Lin Zhong pretended to be angry.

"Guo'er, we made an agreement for a hundred years, which one dies at the age of 97, but we have to wait three years on the bridge." Chu Ao said emotionally.

"Well, we had a promise for three lifetimes, you see, I have never forgotten it, I have been wearing it all the time!" He raised the sympathetic knot between his wrists for the people above to see.

Although the two of them were separated by a distance of several zhang, they whispered quietly, but their hearts were tighter than usual.

"Chu Ao, I want to kiss you again." Lin Zhong became greedy again, although he knew it was impossible, he couldn't help but speak his mind.

Chu Ao encountered a difficulty, such a long distance, naturally he couldn't reach it, thinking about it, but the bed was surrounded by sleeping palace people, it was even more unworkable.

This is how to do?

Looking up at the moon above his head, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Wait for me to borrow this good moonlight!"

"Guo'er, lower your head and tilt your face slightly to the left." Chu Ao yelled softly.

Lin Zhong didn't understand what he was going to do, but he did it.

Chu Ao turned his head to the right, adjusting the angle.

"Guo'er, look at your bed."

Lin Zhong saw that the shadows of the two people on the bed, the outlines of the profile faces were just pasted together at the lips.

"Did you see it? Guo'er, I'm kissing you!" Chu Ao said excitedly.

After Lin Zhong heard this, he turned his back and hurriedly wiped away the surging tears with his sleeves.

"Guo'er...don't cry..." He said comforting words, but Chu Ao's own voice was choked up. Could this be the result of all his hard work and hard work?Two people who love each other, even though they are close to each other, there is a distance of heaven and earth between them. Among them, the majesty of the imperial power, the obstruction of close relatives, and the incomprehension of the world will torture the two of them physically and mentally. Maybe he has already sighed and ended with a "that's all".But it happened to be Chu Ao, who loved Lin Zhong so much, seeing his beloved cry, Chu Ao's heart seemed to be thrown into a raging fire and tormented.

"Guo'er! Don't worry! I will definitely find a way! You wait for me!" Chu Ao wiped away his tears vigorously, and vowed.

"Hmm!" Lin Zhong is used to answering in this trusting and dependent way, without asking anything else, he is just used to it, Chu Ao can always do what he wants.

"Guo'er, it's getting late, I have to leave the palace before the next shift of guards. I'll see you in three days!"

"Chu Ao..." Although I was very reluctant to let go, I wanted to say something to stay with me for a while, but when the words came to my lips, I changed it to "Be careful."

Chu Ao nodded and was about to cover the bricks and tiles when he suddenly remembered something and added, "By the way, Guo'er, I didn't do your elder brother's death, I just taught him a lesson. , did not hurt his life."

After hearing this, Lin Zhong seemed to nod his head calmly. There were no waves in his eyes. Chu Ao looked at it and felt relieved. It turned out that you didn't suspect me.

After finishing speaking, Chu Ao covered the bricks and tiles again, and left in a hurry.

After Chu Ao left, Lin Zhong didn't feel sleepy at all, and just now his face was full of tears from crying, and he wanted to wipe his face quietly, but unexpectedly heard a rustling sound.

"Who!" Lin Zhong drew the sword beside the bed, pointing at the black shadow in the corner.

"Go back to His Royal Highness, it's a slave." The black shadow trembled when he heard the voice, and then slowly moved forward.

Lin Zhong lit the candle, and held it close to his face. He was a palace maid with a handsome face. He looked only fourteen or fifteen years old. The candlelight was reflected in a pair of clear eyes, and there was a flash of panic.

"What is your name?"

"Seven Treasures."

"Were you originally from my East Palace?"

The emperor wanted to put the prince under house arrest, because he was afraid that the palace people in the East Palace would have a good relationship with the princes on weekdays and would be selfish, so even the palace people around him were replaced with new ones.Seeing that this little slave didn't look familiar, Lin Zhong thought he was also a newcomer.

"The slave was originally from the East Palace."

"It's from my palace, no matter how you look at it, you don't look familiar."

"Your Highness, I am not a servant serving in the palace. On weekdays, I only stand watch at the No. 12 pillar in the corridor. I am young and have insufficient qualifications, so I don't have the work in front of me, such as serving tea and delivering water. It’s no wonder His Royal Highness treats the slaves face to face.”

"Oh," Lin Zhong nodded, and suddenly asked anxiously: "Just now, how much did you see?"

Qibao hastily knelt down and kowtowed, "Go back to His Royal Highness, the slave won't say anything!"

Lin Zhong saw that he was trembling with fear, hesitating and not knowing what to do, Qibao said: "The servant actually knew that His Highness and General Chu have a good relationship, but he never said a word from the beginning to the end, please believe me!"

"Why should I believe you?" Lin Zhong couldn't help being surprised to himself, could it be that he also knew about the past between himself and Chu Ao?

"Because..." Qibao raised his eyes, the insides were filled with moisture and softness, "I also have a confidant, in this palace, although we are good friends, we can't stay together. I understand His Highness's thoughts..."

Just now, the heart that was tightly gripped by vigilance was relaxed. Lin Zhong listened to his words, and the brows that were frowning were also relaxed. Yes, in this deep palace, the father does not understand the pain of lovesickness. The empress doesn't understand, and the people she cares about don't understand, but the one who understands him is this little slave trembling with fear in front of him.

I don't know if that sentence worked, or because he looked so pitiful, Lin Zhong put away his sword, and his tone was much softer,

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness!"

"A moment ago when I met General Chu, I was not allowed to mention a single word to outsiders. Otherwise——"

"Please rest assured, Your Highness! If you leak even the slightest rumor, you will kill this servant."

Seeing that he is very smart and well-behaved, Lin Zhong nodded in satisfaction.

Sure enough, the next day, there was no movement in the palace, everything was as usual.

Three days later, Chu Ao came to the top of the hall as promised, but he didn't see him for a few days, his face was sallow and he lost a lot of weight.He took out a small medicine bag from his bosom and threw it down from above. Lin Zhong took it, opened it, and found that there was grayish-yellow powder inside.

"Chu Ao, what is this?" Lin Zhong didn't understand.

"You boil this medicine powder and water for three hours, and deliver it to the emperor yourself. After he drank it, his cough will be greatly improved. When you asked for the second dose, you just said that I prepared the medicine. He will naturally tell me that even if His Majesty has a grudge against me, he must care about me to heal his illness. I will ask him again when the time comes. Guoer, the only way I can think of is this .”

"Then what if... what if Father would rather not treat the illness than agree with you and me?" Lin Zhong felt that this method was a bit risky.

Chu Ao was silent. In fact, he already had the answer in his mind, but he would never tell Lin Zhong the answer. If the emperor still disagrees, he can only threaten to stop the medicine. It depends on the emperor's own choice.

"If he still disagrees, I'll think of another way." Looking at Lin Zhong's innocent eyes, Chu Ao couldn't bear to tell him the truth in his heart, so he had to be vague.

After explaining everything, Chu Ao looked at the groups of imperial guards patrolling non-stop below, and was about to leave.

"Chu Ao!" Lin Zhong hurriedly shouted again.

"What's wrong?" Chu Ao hurriedly turned around.

"It's so kind of you."

"Stupid fruit." Chu Ao couldn't help laughing, although his face was full of exhaustion, he still smiled very comfortably. This is probably the sentence that relieved him the most during the three days of fatigue.

Guoer, believe me, we will be together soon.

On the second day, according to Chu Ao's instructions, he carefully brewed a decoction and informed the emperor, so he asked Qibao to bring the medicine, and hurried to the emperor's study room with him.

"Xiaowang sees His Highness the Crown Prince, His Highness the Crown Prince is in such a hurry, where are you going?" Unexpectedly, Lin Cong came from the side with a smile and looked at Qibao curiously. The bowl and cup in the hand.

"No...it's nothing, I'm just bored, I'm here to walk around in the garden." Lin Zhong stood in front of Qibao, not wanting him to know that he was going to deliver medicine to the emperor, for fear of bringing out many irrelevant things. Yes, after all, in front of the clever Lin Cong, I couldn't explain why I came up with a panacea that was better than the imperial physician.

Lin Cong shrugged his nose, making a deliberate sniffing motion.

"Huh? I smell medicine? Your Highness, you are sick. Show me what kind of medicine you are taking." After finishing speaking, he passed Lin Zhong and came to Qibao. Qibao subconsciously backed away. It doesn't matter as soon as he retreats, Lin Cong becomes even more curious.

"Second brother, I haven't slept well these few days, and I just asked the imperial doctor to boil some calming medicine for me."

"Oh? Really? Coincidentally, I haven't slept peacefully these days, and I don't bother to bother people to get it. I'll share half of this medicine." Lin Cong seemed to know something, and became very difficult.

"Qibao, the medicine has been cold for half a day after you've been out. Go and send it back, and re-fry two servings before sending it back." Lin Zhong was quick-witted and gave Qibao an order.

Qibao was a little stunned, but immediately understood Lin Zhong's meaning, and quickly saluted obediently, and went to the East Palace.When they reached a place where Lin Cong could not see, they turned to another path and headed to the emperor's imperial bookstore.

When he returned to the East Palace, Lin Zhong asked, "Has the medicine been sent to the emperor?"

"Go back to Your Highness, the slave saw with his own eyes that the emperor has been subdued."

After hearing this, she was relieved, and she wholeheartedly hoped that her father's condition would improve, and then asked him to ask for a prescription.

But that night, at the middle of the night, Lin Zhong was falling asleep, when he suddenly heard bursts of crying, got up and looked outside, Lin Yihuan's bedroom was brightly lit, he hurriedly put on his clothes and ran out, when he heard someone crying on the road :

"The emperor is dead!"
