The whole empire knows I'm cute

The soul power in the furnace in the main hall is booming, the surrounding lights are dimmed, the candles flicker slightly, and behind the lightly veiled bed curtains, there is a cloud and rain.

The snow-white clothes kept slipping under the fierce collision, revealing a little bit of the soft and soft neck, and the black silk lining the ground was smooth and soft.

Chu Shumo supported the bed with both hands, his legs and feet were weak from being pushed by the person behind him, his face was a little flushed with spring, but he bit his lower lip firmly, and swallowed the moan that was about to break into pieces.

Under the violent shaking, she couldn't help pursing her lips tightly, her charming peach eyes were full of stubbornness.

It wasn't until the man behind him stretched out his hand and rubbed his neck for a moment that Chu Shumo trembled. A trace of grievance and anxiety flashed across those beautiful eyes, but he quickly covered them.

This kind of night is not a day or two. Feeling the pain from the knee, Chu Shumo grasped the sheet tightly with both hands, and after a violent thrust, he closed his eyes in pain.

In the two years after he and Emperor Tianyan got married, they played and sang almost every night, but it was clearly the body temperature of the two of them, but it was so cold that he didn't want to stay for a moment longer.

He is like a prop that allows others to vent, not to mention actions, and he is not even allowed to make sounds.

That was his order.

Emperor Tianyan is the god of the entire Taixuan, even though he put Chu Shumo in the same honorable post, his orders are still something that Chu Shumo cannot disobey.

But in Taixuan, male empresses are not rare, what is rare is that in Emperor Tianyan's harem, there is no one else except the empress Chu Shumo.

Many outsiders said that Emperor Tianyan had a deep affection, but only Chu Shumo knew that when the man was facing him, no matter what he was doing, he was like a cold-faced Buddha separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, neither happy nor angry.

Not even an iota of emotion.

To say that the only exception was probably that night when Emperor Tianyan stretched out his hand to touch his neck, and his hand was not as gentle as his.

His vision was blurred again and again, Chu Shumo suddenly came back to his senses as if waking up from a dream, then turned his head, looked at Emperor Tianyan's extremely blurred face, was stunned for a moment, the strength in his hand tightened, and the bright His eyes flickered, as if he wanted to say something, but also as if he was looking forward to something.

However, the imaginary response did not come. The latter just looked at him indifferently, then avoided his wobbly outstretched hand without a trace, and then left his body, pulling his clothes twice casually. Flat as if everything that just happened didn't exist.

Then, as usual, he walked out of the room unhurriedly.

Looking at the back, Chu Shumo's hand moved slightly, his heart suddenly seemed to be grabbed by something, and he jumped wildly, opened his mouth and shouted something silently, but he couldn't make a sound Come.

Like a little beast with its throat choked, a trace of grief flashed across Chu Shumo's face, and he looked at the back almost beggingly, wanting him to turn his head, even just a glance.

However it didn't work.

He could only watch helplessly as the figure walked away, unable to say a word.

·

The cold wind blew, and the person lying on the bed slowly opened his eyes. The scene in front of him was a little blurry, which made him frown uncontrollably.

Dreaming again.

There was the sound of the window being blown by the wind, and after a long time, Chu Shumo stretched out the back of his hand to his forehead, and took a deep breath slowly.

This body was so weak that he couldn't help coughing even with such a small movement.

He didn't open his eyes again until he calmed down a little, and stared at the candlestick not far away for a long time. Suddenly, a bunch of flames appeared in the sky, and after a few shakes, Chu Shumo's hand moved slightly. Finally, Putting on his clothes, he stood up and glanced at the open window not far away.

After hearing the voice, the maid outside immediately opened the door and walked in. Seeing Chu Shumo's movements, she rushed forward to help him, but he stopped him with one hand.

Slowly let his already stiff body stand up, and carefully picked up the ruby ​​in the brocade box next to his pillow. His eyes seemed a little stiff, and he walked to the window step by step, looking at the scenery outside the window, as if suddenly Thinking of something, he asked softly, "Where are you coming to report?"

The maid behind her paused slightly, and finally lowered her head and said softly, "Not yet."

Hearing this, Chu Shumo looked down at the ruby ​​in his hand, touched it lightly with his thumb, and said calmly, "Got it, let's go down."

The maid opened her mouth, her face was troubled, and after a long time, she said softly, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please close the windows for you, the weather is getting colder and colder, and you don't close the windows at night..."

"No need," Chu Shumo shook his head, found a random place and sat down, leaning against the wall and said, "Go down."

The maid seemed to want to say something, but she found that Chu Shumo's gaze never left the shining stone in her hand, and she didn't seem to listen to her words at all. After a while, she bowed her head, "Yes."

The door opened and closed, and there was another gust of wind. Chu Shumo's chest seemed to be suddenly caught by something, and he was a little out of breath. This feeling is not unfamiliar. After coughing twice, his eyes seemed to show a little helplessness .

Behind him, he squeezed the glowing red stone in his hand.

This is Taixuan's engagement stone.

The so-called contractual marriage means that the party with a strong soul completely binds the other party. The latter has no dignity in front of the former. One command and one action, the sword is a mountain of fire, and death is inevitable.

Apart from the fact that both parties must have intercourse, compared to a contract marriage, they are actually more like bonded slaves, and the irony is [-]% ironic.

And just like the latter, the contracted person has no right to terminate this relationship.

This is the gift given to him by Emperor Tianyan, and it is also the only gift that Emperor Tianyan gave him during the two years of marriage. He was ordered to carry it with him at all times. around.

Chu Shumo actually didn't like this thing, and looked at him day and night, as if he was being reminded all the time... He was unbearable in the eyes of Emperor Tianyan, reminding him of his wishful thinking and whimsical thinking back then.

When Chu Shumo was at his worst, he even threw it away, twice.

Once, when he first got the stone, he couldn't hold back his falling heart, and threw it into the abyss of the Valley of Thorns. The second time, he threw it into the Sesheng Pond a year after Emperor Tianyan lost the news.

However, twice, the stone returned to his hands.

After throwing it down for the first time, within half an hour, Emperor Tianyan came to him carrying a stone, with a very ugly expression on his face.They have been married for two years, day and night, if it is said that Chu Shumo saw this person's emotions most deeply, it may only be that once.

But even so, the man just looked at him coldly for a long time, and then asked the servants behind him to pass the things to him, and said coldly, "Take it, there is no next time", and there was no The following is up.

It was not until a long, long time later that Chu Shumo heard people say that he went down to find the stone by himself. The thorn valley is full of institutions and has a long history. Even the old valley owner can hardly get out of his body, but this man just went.

Equipment repairers who are proficient in mechanisms, warlocks who are proficient in formations, etc. are all useless, but they have to go down by themselves.

Who knows how many injuries there were under those layers of clothes.

Touching the hot little thing in his hand, Chu Shumo's mouth slightly pursed.

The second time, he went down to pick it up by himself.

He thought that this man must have suffered a lot of injuries on the battlefield, and when he came back, he dragged his body and ran to pick up stones without saying a word. If something happened to him, he would be thrown in the temple and wait for so long Who should I ask for the bill?

It was just that one time that made him suffer from a cold illness.

But Chu Shumo didn't care very much. After picking up the stone, he waited quietly in this temple.

Waiting for a fast horse, waiting for the news of Emperor Tianyan, waiting for a full 33 years.

Emperor Tianyan has always been reticent. He didn't tell him about the outside situation, the enemy's invasion, and the imperial conquest, but he didn't believe that this person would not even leave him a word at the last moment.

But really not.

He was still the same as before, saying nothing.

From the beginning of asking several times a day, until now I don't know how many months have passed before asking just once, Chu Shumo only feels that his heart is almost as still as still water, and there will be no more waves.

At the beginning, he always felt that this person would try his best to tie him up and ask famous doctors to treat him. It was impossible for him to have no affection for him. No matter what kind of affection it was, there should always be a little bit of it.

However, this little expectation was exhausted little by little during the long wait.

His health has been poor all year round, and his condition has become worse and worse in the past two years, and he has become more and more silent day by day.

Chu Shumo thought that he probably couldn't wait too long.

In 33 years, whether it is long or short, it can be regarded as the engagement stone.

If there is an afterlife, he doesn't want to do this anymore.

Waiting for more than 30 years almost hollowed him out, and he couldn't hold on even for one more day.Exhausting all internal organs, waiting until today, I only hope that all this will stop here.

The marriage that year was inexplicably successful, and after understanding the various reasons, he was indeed the one who fell in love first. At first, he also felt that the person treated him differently, so he wishfully thought that this ice stone would be melted one day, but in the end In the end, he guarded the temple for his whole life.

Up to now, Chu Shumo can no longer tell whether he is resentful, injustice, or wronged, and he no longer wants to pursue it.

Assuming it was possible, he only wanted to live a more peaceful and comfortable life in his next life.

Looking down at the ruby ​​in his hand, for a long time, Chu Shumo's eyes flickered slightly, he slowly lifted it, closed his eyes, moved forward with trembling lips, and then, on the bright ruby, gently He pressed a kiss.

Turning his head to look at the bright moon outside the window, and the prosperous Kyoto that can be seen through the soul mirror, feeling the wind blowing in his ears, the light in Chu Shumo's eyes overflowed little by little.

This time, I really didn't even have the strength to move my neck, and my cloudy eyes closed little by little. When the light in my eyes disappeared, I seemed to be struggling to ask something, my Adam's apple moved up and down, but there was no sound at all. It didn't come out.

Those words stuck in his throat forever.

The red stone in his palm was a little abnormally bright. In a trance, Chu Shumo seemed to be able to hear the cold wind whizzing by. In a blink of an eye, he returned to the winter more than 40 years ago.

Emperor Tianyan carried him on his back, and walked step by step in the snow, with a row of deep footprints behind him.

"It'll be there in a while." Emperor Tianyan's voice, which was colder than the cold wind, came from Chu Shumo's confused consciousness.

"soon."
