May you live in peace

The night was getting darker, and the fog made the night a little cooler. On the shore of the lake, Yin Xi relied on sitting by the tree to concentrate, thinking about things.Occasionally, his eyes drifted past the position in the lake, knowing that Gao Shan was taking a bath in the lake, his face turned red, and he felt a little hot.

Standing up and walking towards the lake, the sight at night is limited, but the sound of water being scooped up and poured can still be heard.Gao Shan's slender back still had scars from the past, as well as the bruises from the bump when she fell to the ground just now, but it didn't affect the lines of her back, she was soft yet firm.Her shoulders are not broad, but it can give her a sense of security, which is a kind of absolute trust.Perhaps, in her life, there are not many people who can let her walk with her heart like this.Although it was not the first time she saw this person standing naked in front of her like this, but now, she was still a little shy.

Hearing the sound of grass behind him, he turned around and saw Yin Xi who was about to leave, calling her softly.

"hope."

"what's up?"

Turning around, he saw Takasugi facing him, blushed instantly, lowered his head and scolded her slightly.

"Why are you turning around? Put on your clothes quickly, it's a bit cold tonight."

Gao Shan looked at himself standing naked under the moonlight, and felt a little embarrassed. He didn't realize what he looked like just now, but when he saw Yin Xi here, he yelled out of habit.

Seeing the redness on Yin Xi's earlobe, Gao Shan knew that she was conservative about these things, so he quickly picked up the water, and simply patted his face a few times to relieve the embarrassment just now.Then quickly picked up the clothes that the second child gave her and put them on, tied the belt, and ran to Yin Xi's side.

Seeing Gao Shan standing next to him clean and tidy, he looked at her carefully and found that she had lost weight again. I really don't know if this person will only have a handful of bones left if he loses weight.

Walking quietly on the grass, Gao Shan saw Yin Xi buried her head, looking at the grass on the ground, slowly stretched out her hand, interlocking her fingers.

Yin Xi's eyes moved slightly, but she couldn't hide the smile in the corners of her eyes. Seeing that she was finally happy, she held her hand even tighter.

"Hey, I didn't disappear on purpose."

Turning his head, looking at Gao Shan beside him, seeing her looking at him seriously, Yin Xi nodded, motioning for her to continue.

"I was taken away by Mr. Jiao, the old man I often mentioned to you, he is Yin Jiao."

It didn't seem surprising, Yin Xi just asked lightly.

"Why did he take you away?"

"He asked me to monitor the emperor."

Yin Xi frowned slightly, "Because of Yin Pan?"

Takasugi was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Xi to know about it a long time ago.

"Yes." As if realizing that Yin Pan was mentioned, Gao Shan told Yin Xi everything about how he stayed by Yin Ran's side and why he accidentally killed Yin Ran at that time.

"Xi, Pan Chan is Yin Pan."

Gao Shan's expression was a little anxious, this person has been ambushing in the court since the scientific examination, and now because she killed Yin Ran, Pan Chan involved this matter on Xi, Gao Shan was worried that he would be harmful to Yin Xi .

But beyond Gao Shan's expectation, Yin Xi didn't seem surprised by Pan Chan's identity, but bowed his head thinking about something.He pinched Takasugi's sweaty hand, telling her not to be nervous about herself.

"Only Pan Chan?"

"Ok?"

Gao Shan looked at Yin Xi puzzled, not understanding what she meant.

"nothing."

The capital, the General's Mansion.

Yin Luo was sitting in the mansion, and according to reports from his subordinates, Pan Chan had brought several people to surround the mansion of the General.Now, the father's body has not been buried yet, and the throne has been vacant for half a month. Knowing that those people are planning to take this position, Yin Luo couldn't help frowning, not knowing what happened at that time.

She didn't believe that Gao Shan would assassinate her father, even if she had a hundred guts, she wouldn't be able to do it.Then, there is only one possibility, she was tricked, and who is that person?

Looking at the general Li Zhi standing at the door, blocking another wave of soldiers from the military guards who wanted to come in and capture her, Yin Luo felt that hiding like this was not an option.

Standing up and walking to the gate, he casually glanced at these soldiers, knowing that they are now obeying Yin Yang's command, Yin Luo said in a slightly cooler tone.

"You better recognize your status. Yin Yang is still just a prince, and now he wants to arrest me and Huang Jie indiscriminately. Are you going to follow him to rebel? Now Saibei is not peaceful, and you are holding the imperial salary. The officers and men don’t want to serve the country, but want to make troubles in the general’s mansion, what face do you have to defend your family and the country?”

Yin Luo knew that these words would not have much effect, but they could also hold back their desire to force their way in. Seeing the slightly hesitant leader, Yin Luo asked someone to close the gate of the General's Mansion, and then entered the house.Knowing that it would be useless to wait like this now, he sent his cronies to send a letter to Gao Jianping, hoping that he could temporarily suppress the restlessness in the capital. After all, at this time, there can be no more chaos.

Outside the capital, in a ruined temple.

Gao Shan was spreading grain and grass inside, and Yin Xi leaned on the faint light, watching her skillful movements, a little lost in thought.

"Hey, I'm going to stay here for one night tonight. I'm going to get some water. You should go to bed early."

Yin Xi nodded, and after seeing Gao Shan went out, she stared at the fire by herself.As for the sudden incident of Gao Shan's assassination of her father, Yin Xi's original plan and layout have been disrupted, and she seems to have guessed who actually used her son-in-law.Pan Chan wants to be the emperor, but it is not an easy task at all. Now she can only wait until that person finds herself first, so that she can make Pan Chan's plan fail without doing anything.

When Gao Shan brought the water in, seeing Yin Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, he knew that this was her usual way of thinking about things, so he didn't make a sound to disturb her thinking.I found a few pieces of wood, set up a bracket, filled the old small water tank outside the temple with some water, and put it on it to burn.

After the water was boiled, Yin Xi still sat there motionless, lifted the small water tank, walked to Yin Xi and sat down, said with a low body.

"Xi, think about it tomorrow and rest early."

Turning his head, he saw Gao Shan looking at him gently, took the water and took a simple wash, then leaned on the bed made of straw, but he didn't feel sleepy.

After Gao Shan finished tidying up, he saw that Yin Xi had rested, and slowly approached, but the moment he lay down, he felt Yin Xi approaching.

"Hey, are you still asleep?"

"Yeah." Some muffled answer, seems to have some other emotions.

"Not used to it? I'm sorry."

Thinking that Yin Xi was not used to sleeping here, Gao Shan felt annoyed why he brought Xi to this place.

Hearing Gao Shan's tone of apology weakly, Yin Xi turned to face Gao Shan, and looked into her eyes, which were dark and deep as always, with a force that made her feel at ease.

"No."

After finishing speaking, Yin Xi moved to Gao Shan's position again, seeming to understand her intention, Gao Shan stretched out his hand, took Yin Xi into his arms, and with his arms closed, he hugged her tightly.

"Hey, is this better?"

Yin Xi didn't answer, but felt the warmth from Gaoshan's embrace, and felt that the fatigue on her body was reduced a lot in an instant.

"On that snowy night, that little maid was you, right?" Yin Xi asked.

"Yeah." Takasugi didn't deny it, but admitted it.

Yin Xi smiled, then looked up at Gao Shan who had been looking at her, and touched the corner of her brow.

Gao Shan kissed the hand she put on her face, only when she was so close to Yin Xi, would she feel the happiest.

Yin Xi blushed slightly, moved away from Gao Shan and wanted to come closer to kiss her lips, but seeing her suspiciously looking at her eyes, couldn't help laughing at her action, leaned forward and kissed the corner of Gao Shan's lips.

After the light fragrance from the tip of the nose disappeared, Gao Shan came back to his senses, saw Yin Xi looking at him with a smile on his face, and then realized that he had been molested by Yin Xi just now, but she liked her initiative to her like this.

The fire became weaker and weaker in the night, and finally there was only a faint light, shining on the two of them.Gao Shan kept comforting Yin Xi, hoping that she could fall asleep, but Yin Xi just looked at the night sky outside the door or the burning fire, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Xi, will you hate me for killing Yin Ran?"

Yin Xi's eyes flickered, looked at Gao Shan's serious expression, and sighed softly.Gao Shan didn't understand the reason for Yin Xi's sigh, his heart tightened, and even the arms around Yin Xi's body subconsciously hugged him even tighter.

Seeing that she didn't speak anymore, Yin Xi leaned on her shoulder and said slowly.

"It's not really hate, it's just a bit complicated. After all, he is the man I've called my father for 22 years. Even I don't want his blood to flow on my body, but..."

Yin Xi didn't continue talking. Although she had experienced the struggle for power and profit in the court, she had also seen the sinister people's hearts, and even occasionally felt that the world was very boring.But she's also just a woman in her 20s, an ordinary person who gets into tangles.

Gao Shan didn't know what to say, now, she just hoped not to create a gap between herself and Xi because of her assassination of Yin Ran.

Seemingly aware of the uneasiness of the people around her, Yin Xi stared at her deeply, then smiled in relief.

"Maybe before he died, I just wanted to ask him, why did he do such a heartless thing to my queen mother, a woman? But when I saw Yin Pan, I knew that a person who wants to be an emperor, even himself Your father or siblings can be used as pawns. When it is useful, you can calculate it. When it is useless, you can discard it like a shoe. How much will they cherish a woman? In this world, power is more attractive."

Gao Shan looked into Yin Xi's eyes, she who never hides her emotions in front of her, now feels a little sad and lonely.Takasugi leaned close to her neck, but didn't move, but felt her existence in this way.

"You are ten thousand times more precious than rights."

Listening to the words in her ear, Yin Xi's heart warmed up. Maybe her son-in-law was too simple, and it was very difficult for him to survive in the turbulent court.However, at any time, I will yearn for her innocence, and I don't want those unnecessary restraints, which makes her hesitate.

Yin Xi didn't tell Gao Shan that Yin Ran's death might be a kind of relief for her.This may sound outrageous, but it is undeniable that Yin Ran's death made the boulder that had been falling in her heart slowly fall to the ground, as if everything had settled and dissipated with the wind.I also think that she buried all her past cowardice and ignorance, and let those memories leave with that man.

Yin Xi was lost in thought, but Gao Shan didn't say anything, it didn't make much sense whether she said it or not, she just silently stayed by Yin Xi's side, wanting to shield her from all future storms.

Surrounded by the fire was warm, accompanied by the body temperature of the most familiar person beside him, after all, he couldn't suppress the tiredness accumulated for a long time, and gradually fell asleep.

Looking at Yin Xi's peaceful sleeping face, Gao Shan looked at her softly, and rubbed her brows with his fingertips.Even if she is down and down, she is still calm and unhurried, the most noble person, just like before, is her favorite appearance.

Looking at the night when the sky finally clears, there are only scattered clouds and people looking at it.Gao Shan hugged Yin Xi tightly, and slowly fell asleep.That's it, what's not to like?
