The moon hangs high, and the night is as cool as water.Chu Jin's footsteps stepped on the fallen leaves, making a rustling sound, accompanied by the creaking sound of pushing open the dilapidated palace door, like turning the pages of memory.

This is the cold palace where Chu Jin stayed for 15 years. Chu Jin didn't know how he came here. He hasn't been back here for a long time since he lived in Jinhua Palace. He thought it should be a forgotten place, but he didn't expect I even remember every plant and tree clearly.

There is a plum tree in the center of the garden. Ying once stood under the tree to watch him dance sword on a snowy night.There is a stone pavilion in the corner of the garden. Ying once bathed in the starlight, holding a book to teach him how to write.At the end of the garden was a dilapidated palace, where Shadow had been with him for three years...

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more desolate he couldn't suppress it. Chu Jin shook his head, expelling the memory in his mind, he quickened his pace and walked towards the outside. At that time, Chu Jin actually heard other voices.

someone here?

The sound came from behind the rockery. Chu Jin raised his foot and walked over. He wanted to ask a question, but became angry after turning around the rockery.I saw a man and a woman entangled on the grass. The man leaned over the woman and couldn't stop moving, and the woman groaned up and down... Both of them looked disheveled, and it was self-evident what they were doing.

Although Chu Jin had heard of someone cheating in the palace, it was the first time he saw it with his own eyes, so he couldn't help being a little annoyed.

"Your Highness...Your Highness..."

As soon as the woman looked up, she saw Chu Jin standing not far away, her pretty face turned pale with fright.The man didn't hear what she was saying, raised his head from the woman's chest and started laughing and cursing.

"Baby, you still have the strength to speak, you really are a fucking idiot—"

Before the man finished speaking, he saw Chu Jin's boots parked not far away, and the words he didn't say were stuck in his throat.

"Your Highness, spare your life!"

The man hurriedly got off the woman, and the two of them knelt in front of Chu Jin and shivered without even caring about putting on their clothes.

Chu Jin smelled the strange smell in the air, and his face turned red for a moment. He didn't know whether it was because of anger or other reasons. Fortunately, the two kneeling on the ground didn't even dare to lift their heads, and they didn't notice Chu Jin's strangeness at all. .

"roll!"

After leaving these words, Chu Jin turned and left in disgust. The two people behind him picked up their clothes and ran away in a hurry as if they were being pardoned. They disappeared after a while.

The silence in the cold palace was restored again, but Chu Jin lost his original calm mood. His steps became faster and faster, and his breathing became more and more urgent, as if there was a beast behind him, about to break free.

After walking for a while, Chu Jin's footsteps stopped at the palace gate, and he stretched out his sweaty palm to cover the knocker, but he didn't push it away.

Finally, Chu Jin couldn't help turning his head back. He saw candles lit up in the pitch-black palace at some point, and a thin figure was reflected on the window. It was a familiar appearance to him.

When did Ying come back?

Before doubts appeared, Chu Jin had already walked towards the palace. The moment he opened the door, all his thoughts turned into the joy of reunion, and Chu Jin almost ran to hug Luo Ying.

"film……"

Chu Jin put his chest on Luo Ying's back, and wrapped his arms around Luo Ying's waist tightly, without leaving any gaps, as if the other party would leave him as soon as he let go.

The distance between the two was so close that the breath of Luo Ying's body lingered on the tip of their noses. Chu Jin couldn't help but buried himself on Luo Ying's shoulder and took a deep breath, bringing the scent of medicine into his lungs, calming Chu Jin's panic heart of.

After a while, Chu Jin raised his head to look at Luo Ying. The other party lowered his eyes slightly and said nothing. He didn't know what he was thinking. From Chu Jin's angle, he could just see a fair neck and a thin jaw covered by a mask.

In his arms was the person he was thinking about day and night, how could he not respond, Chu Jin heard his breathing became urgent again, his throat rolled unconsciously, he knew that he should let Luo Ying go immediately, but he couldn't bear this warmth.

"film……"

"Ok?"

"I miss you……"

"..."

Chu Jin tentatively approached Luo Ying's neck until his lips touched the skin on the side of Luo Ying's neck. Luo Ying's body froze for a moment, but he didn't say anything. This kind of silent acceptance made Chu Jin bold, and he Gently hold that inch of skin, grind it between the teeth, leaving an ambiguous mark.

Chu Jin's kiss spread from his neck to his chin. He kissed the junction between the skin and the mask, and then took off Luo Ying's mask.

Half-opened and half-closed eyes, blushing cheeks... Luo Ying's emotional appearance was as seductive as he imagined, Chu Jin couldn't wait to hold Luo Ying's lips, kissed, and picked Luo Ying up and walked towards the inner room .

The candlelight was still flickering, reflecting the gradually overlapping figures of the two...

……

Jinhua Palace.

At a certain moment, Chu Jin suddenly sat up, and the ceiling embroidered with intricate patterns and the layout of the inner room told him that he was just having a sweet dream, and this was the Jinhua Palace, not the Leng Palace at all.

Shadow is not here either.

Chu Jin lay back in a daze, looking at the ceiling with absent-minded eyes, it was nothing more than his loss, because that dream was so real, so real that he still remembered Ying's body temperature, so real that his body was still aching.

But that dream was still a dream. No matter how Chu Jin recalled it, he couldn't recall the face of Ying in the dream. He remembered all the details, but he forgot this because he himself didn't know what Ying looked like.

Chu Jin smiled wryly, and buried his head in the pillow. Although he was in this prosperous Jinhua Palace, he was even more lonely than in the Leng Palace, just because the person beside him was gone.

"film……"

Chu Jin murmured a word, stretched his hand under his body, and relieved it with the memory of his dream.

Chu Jin didn't expect that his first time would be dedicated to Mengjing, and he was someone he respected a lot, no matter if he was ashamed or guilty, after this incident, Chu Jin's last concern for Luo Ying disappeared.He has never been a person who sits and waits for death. Since he knows what he wants, he should take the initiative to fight for it, even if he pays some price.

It’s just unlucky for the court lady and guard who were crushed by Chu Jin. Chu Jin just walked to the cold palace at random in a depressed mood, and then met two people. Just imagine how Chu Jin’s character let go of those who angered him. The two of them died in Chu Jin's hands on the spot.

Chu Jin killed two people before returning to Jinhua Palace, and then dreamed of spring.If it weren't for the influence of the two of them, Chu Jin would never have had that evocative dream, nor would he have made a decision so quickly.

Speaking of it, he should also thank the two, but unfortunately the two were not blessed. In the dream, he would let the two go because he didn't want to see the shadow with blood on his hands. In reality, the two were not so lucky. .

……

Luo Ying originally thought that Chu Jin should carry out the party's policy and implement the party's policy with peace of mind after giving the reply, but he did not expect to receive another letter from Chu Jin the next day. Did not say what happened.

Luo Ying frowned after reading the note, a little confused about Chu Jin's intentions.

"Has there been any changes in Chu Jin recently?"

"Returning to my lord, apart from killing two palace servants last night, the other ten princes never leave the house, there is no abnormality."

"That's weird..."

……

Luo Ying finally decided to go to the appointment. In the evening, he changed his clothes and went to the place agreed by Chu Jin. It was a stone pavilion by the river. Luo Ying thought it would be easy to find someone, but when he got to the street, he found out——a lot of people ah!

At first glance, there are all black heads, how can I find someone here?

"Why are there so many people today?"

"My lord, today is New Year's Eve."

"I see……"

Looking at the red lanterns and people all over the street, Luo Ying felt a little headache. I knew it would be worse than Yue Leng Palace. He doesn't like places with many people!

When Luo Ying was thinking about how to avoid the crowd to find Chu Jin, a hand suddenly stretched out and wrapped around Luo Ying's waist. Luo Ying was about to get angry when Chu Jin approached with a smile.

"film."

Luo Ying nodded, pushed Chu Jin away and took a step back, Xiaojun had already disappeared when Chu Jin appeared, Luo Ying was not afraid that Chu Jin would see his identity.

"How did you find me?"

"As long as there is a shadow, I can see it at a glance, because the shadow is the most dazzling existence in the crowd."

Why does this sound weird...

While Luo Ying was thinking, the crowd around him suddenly became agitated. Someone bumped into Luo Ying, and Luo Ying threw himself on Chu Jin.

"..."

Luo Ying stood up expressionlessly, as if the person who threw herself into her arms just now was not herself.

"There are so many people here, it's not a place to talk."

"Well, come with me."

Chu Jin naturally took Luo Ying's hand and walked towards the bridge, not forgetting to help Luo Ying fend off the crowd as he walked.

Luo Ying glanced at him strangely, and was about to say something, but when he saw the person walking towards him, he stopped talking and concentrated on listening to the conversation between the two.

The first person to speak was a young woman dressed as a maid, and the one who spoke was a little girl dressed as a man.

"Princess, how can you run around without saying a word, which makes the servants very worried."

"Nonsense, can you run away after talking?"

Qu Youyou's eyes dangled around, and everything she saw felt novel.

"..."

"But princess, you are here to make a kiss. If the people of Lin Kingdom know about it, I don't know what they will think of the princess."

"Don't worry about this, the princess has already chosen her son-in-law."

"Really? Who is it?"

"Yes……"

Qu Youyou's eyes rolled, and she immediately looked away.

"Don't tell you!"

"Princess, how can you do this? If His Highness finds out that you have escaped secretly, he will be angry."

"So don't tell Brother Huang, otherwise I will be nagged to death by him."

"Princess, Your Highness is also concerned about you."

"I know I know."

Qu Youyou responded twice casually, and her eyes that were wandering around suddenly lit up.

"Hey, Lu Zhu, look at that lantern over there, it looks so pretty!"

After finishing speaking, Qu Youyou ran over, the maid yelled, and quickly chased after her.

The figures of the two disappeared in front of Luo Ying, remembering the way Qu Youyou said goodbye to him a few days ago, Luo Ying couldn't help showing a smile.

"What is Shadow looking at?"

"An old friend."

Luo Ying turned around and pulled out his hand.

"Go, go."

"Oh……"

Chu Jin's eyes paused for a moment on Qu Youyou and Lu Zhu who were going away, and a few strands of thought flashed in his eyes.

……

Although he already had a premonition that this meeting was different from what he expected, but when Luo Ying saw the painting boat in front of him, he still couldn't help being dazed. Chu Jin had to fix these fancy things, wouldn't it be good to choose a place with few people to talk?

"Why did you see me today?"

Luo Ying's footsteps stopped on the shore, and he didn't get on the boat. His voice was a little cold. Chu Jin's series of abnormal behaviors made him doubt Chu Jin's intentions.

"Shadow, I thought you would like..."

"Let's talk about anything."

Luo Ying put her hands behind her back and turned her back.

"I...you can know what kind of medicine Chu Yi is taking?"

"What medicine?" Luo Ying was really curious about this.

"It's windy outside here, how about we go to the workshop and discuss?"

"..."

Luo Ying seems to have seen the big tail swaying behind Chu Jin...

The two of them boarded the boat, and the food and drink had been prepared in the room. When Luo Ying sat down, Chu Jin asked the maid to back out, and poured Luo Ying a glass of wine himself.

"Ying, this is wine from the Western Regions, you can drink less if you are not in good health."

"No need." Luo Ying refused without thinking. He had to take off his mask when drinking, and he would not reveal his identity in front of Chu Jin.

Hearing Luo Ying's words, Chu Jin was a little disappointed, but he didn't force himself, put down his cup and talked to Luo Ying about the pill.

It turns out that the elixir contains Miao Jiang's Gu, which Chu Jin obtained by accident, and most people can't recognize it. This Gu grows by absorbing nutrients from the human body, and people who are trapped by the Gu will show a good state. The specific manifestation is that the body Rejuvenation, but this is only temporary, when the Gu worm absorbs enough nutrients, the host will die, just like returning to the light.

"So that's the case, how long can Chu Yi live?"

"It can be as long as a year, and as little as half a year."

After calculating the time, it was almost time, Luo Ying nodded.

"What happened to the prophecy?"

"Heh... It's just telling Chu Yi that I have a special fate, and with the help of noble people, as long as I survive the calamity of death, I will be the real son of heaven."

Having said that, Chu Jin looked up at Luo Ying.

"If there is no shadow, I would be a dead body now. Since I am not dead, the throne must be mine. I am right to say so."

"..."

Chu Jin suddenly had an impulse.

"Shadow, actually I—"

"It's getting late."

Luo Ying stood up, her eyes fell on the distant river.

"I have to go now."

"and many more."

Seeing Luo Ying walking out, Chu Jin panicked, and reached out to grab Luo Ying's wrist, and when he pulled, a purse fell off Luo Ying's body.Luo Ying was about to pick it up, but Chu Jin picked it up first.

Chu Jin held the purse in his hand, and shook out a string of amethyst bracelets. Seeing this, Chu Jin's expression changed.

"what is this?"

"Bracelet."

This bracelet is the one that Qu Youyou gave, just in case, Luo Ying kept it close to her body, but Chu Jin didn't expect to find it.

"How can there be women's things on Ying?"

"It's just a random gift from a friend."

friend?If it is a gift from a friend, do you need to take it with you?That woman would give men accessories at will, and Luo Ying's eyes told him that the relationship between Luo Ying and that woman was by no means as simple as friends.

Shadow likes that woman...

In recent years, Ying has been indifferent and not like a person. Chu Jin even forgot that he is a normal man who is going to marry a wife and have children, and even has a family.If Ying already has a woman and children he likes, how should he deal with himself?

Chu Jin never thought of such a situation, so he was so panicked at this moment.

"Who is it?" Chu Jin felt that his voice was not like his own.

"..."

"But the woman you like? I don't know if I have the honor to meet her once?"

"no need."

Seeing that Chu Jin still wanted to ask again, Luo Ying added a sentence in displeasure.

"This is my business and has nothing to do with you."

Then he took back the purse, turned and left.

Does it have nothing to do with me...

What a 'irrelevant', Ying is his god, so naturally there is no sadness or joy, but he is a layman, he will be jealous, jealous, and hate!

Chu Jin took up the glass of wine in front of Luo Ying and drank it down in one gulp, then dropped the glass on the ground.Ying asked him to marry him, he could lie to himself that Ying didn't know what he wanted, and he could try to make Ying fall in love with him, but now that Ying fell in love with someone else, how would he deceive himself?

Could it be that the person who lied to himself was a dead person?

dead...?

Chu Jin's eyes suddenly became dark and vicious. If he could kill Chu Yi, he could also kill a woman. As long as the woman died, and he stayed with Ying every step of the way, Ying would definitely like him.

He loves Ying to the point of madness, how can Ying not like him, since he has been with him for three years, wouldn't it be better to stay with him for a longer time...

A smile appeared on the corner of Chu Jin's mouth, and the back of the dark guard who watched in the dark felt cold.
