My lord, the princess is a man!

Chu Mo still came to look for him. Although he was three or four days late, he still came.

Lin Hanjiang took a chair and sat in the middle of the room, looking up at the person who showed his face through a hole the size of two tiles.

"It's so slow." This was the first sentence they said when they met. When Lin Hanjiang heard the strange movement on the roof, he had already guessed who the person above was, and sat there obediently waiting for the moonlight to shine in.

"From knowing that you are not in the palace to confirming which room you are in in the Meng Mansion, I am already very fast, okay?"

"Oh, it's slow."

"Okay, what are you talking about. By the way, can you tell me what's going on now? Why did you stay in the palace and was suddenly put under house arrest?" While speaking, Chu Mo slid down a rope from above. A small cloth bag tied underneath was delivered to him impartially.

"what?"

"Eat, your mung bean cake that time I thought it was delicious, so I bought some for you to relieve boredom."

"You have a conscience." Lin Hanjiang happily took out food, stuffed it into his mouth, and talked to him with his head raised.

It was inevitable that his neck would be sore after looking up for a long time, but he was reluctant to lower his head, fearing that he would lose sight of him for a moment.

"Uncle said he wanted me to go with him to a girl's house to propose marriage. I disagreed and said that I had another bastard in my heart. He locked me in the room in a fit of anger, saying when I agreed to the marriage and when I would go out."

"Although I know you have me in your heart, I am very happy, but I am still very angry that you use the word bastard to describe me."

"Just a bastard." Lin Hanjiang smiled innocently, completely unaware of how much his happy appearance would seduce the people on the roof.

Chu Mo resisted the urge to directly break through the roof and said with feigned anger, "Be careful and I will settle accounts with you in the future."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." Lin Hanjiang shook his head happily, completely gone from the previous gloom.

It feels like I haven't laughed like this for a long time, and sure enough, he is the only one who can make me happy in this world.

"When will you come to take me out? When will you be able to resolve the conflict between my uncle and you?"

"I don't know, but it should be soon. If you really want to come out, agree to your uncle's request. I will snatch you out halfway."

"Then I don't want it. He doesn't like you. If you do this, don't let him look at you." Lin Hanjiang refused without any hesitation. They secretly met under the cover of the elders behind their backs, didn’t dare to speak loudly, didn’t dare to make any noise, just said a few words, looked at each other, shook hands at most, kissed or something, and then went back, thinking about it Quite exciting."

"Yes. It's just a pity that we can't touch each other directly. Are you sleepy now? If you want to sleep, go to sleep now! I'm here to watch you. When you fall asleep, I will leave."

"En." Lin Hanjiang nodded obediently, put down the unfinished mung bean cake in his hand, walked to Mu Shi and slowly undressed his clothes. The outer coat was removed, leaving the plain white inner coat, which looked extraordinarily shiny under the candlelight.

Chu Mo looked at the people below and swallowed uncontrollably. It was only a few days since he missed him so much, not only in his mind, but also in his body.

It's a pity that now I can only watch but not touch, and I still damnably propose to watch him fall asleep, isn't this just making myself suffer!

Chu Mo silently clenched his fists in the dark night, trying hard to control his restless heart.

The people above were in dire straits, but those below were different. Lin Hanjiang lay unconsciously on the bed, staring at the people above for a long time before closing his eyes reluctantly.

Tonight he dreamed again, dreaming that his uncle was no longer obsessed with the past, dreaming that the two of them were standing together openly, dreaming that the world was full of red, and the crackling sound of firecrackers resounded through the entire sky.

Sang Qi and Chu Mo met again in the afternoon of the second day. The two sat at the small round table in Chu Mo's room, and neither of them spoke.

Rong Bin couldn't figure out what his master wanted to do, so he could only stand by and watch the silent war between the two.

It was Chu Mo who spoke first. There was no way he wanted something from others, and it was really not good to put on airs. Besides, he had already shown his strength just now by looking at him, so there was no need for a stalemate anymore.

"It's really unexpected that His Highness can find this place so quickly."

"Isn't it possible that Bengong was able to find him on purpose? Wasn't King Duan leaking the news on purpose? He appeared to be sneaky, but in fact swaggered into the street, and when his position was about to be revealed, he only left the people behind him, and asked Bengong to narrow down the scope of the search. Didn't you, Duan Wang, do it yourself?"

"It seems to be true. Rong Bin is watching tea, how can he not greet the crown prince when he comes down!"

Rong Bin, who was suddenly named, reacted quickly, quietly supporting the role of serving tea and pouring water.

"Is the alliance between us still there?" Chu Mo picked up the tea cup and took a sip. Sure enough, the tea from his own house was still delicious.

Sang Qi followed him to pick up the cup and said, "Of course, since King Duan didn't pursue the crime of bringing people back to Bengong, how could Bengong give up such a good ally? But can King Duan tell Bengong how you found out? Wasn't that day his?"

"Being with someone for a long time, you are clear about some of his habits, let alone the person you love. At that time, the king was immersed in the shock of his leaving and didn't have time to think about it. This thing is really full of loopholes.”

"Then... I was negligent when handling this matter. I don't know why Prince Duan asked me to come here this time?"

"What else can this king do when he comes to the state of Zhou except for him? His Highness must also know the grievances between this king's father and his father, as well as his uncle's attitude towards this king. It's a pity that he doesn't care. This way, the king can't force it." Chu Mo gave him a look that you understand, and Sang Qi immediately answered.

"So the prince came to Bengong to...help you ease the relationship between you and the teacher?"

"Yes, but naturally this king will not let His Highness help for nothing. There are some things in this King's hand that will be very helpful for His Highness to eradicate dissidents. I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince is interested?" Chu Mo spread his hands, and Rong Bin put the things he had found before handed over to him.

"I don't know if these rewards are enough?"

Sang Qi took the things, flipped through them roughly, and said with a slight smile: "The things that King Duan gave are indeed very tempting, but it's a pity that I can't help you with this matter. It's not very good to come in, and the second is...does Wang Duan know that the woman he wants to propose marriage is chosen for him by this palace. I regard him as a younger brother, so I naturally have the same expectations as the teacher, so I still don't want this matter. It's better to find me, although I won't hate you like the teacher, but I won't help you either. As for these things, you should keep them first!"
