Tread thousands of dust

When Xun Can came out of the Quansheng Temple, he felt that it was getting dark, so he hurried his steps a little bit, and just as he reached the Shufa Pond, he found that there was no one there.

He felt strange, looked around, and Mo Fengyi suddenly appeared from behind him.

"Why did you come here?"

Mo Fengyi's voice was full of complaints, and Xun Can smiled lightly: "Wait a minute."

Mo Fengyi curled his lips: "Otherwise."

Xun Can took him into the pavilion and said, "Didn't you say it was in Shufa Pond? Why didn't you go in?"

Mo Fengyi couldn't tell. Every time he approached this pool, he always felt a little afraid, even fearful, and he didn't want to enter this place.

"It belongs to Fachi... I don't want to get close to it." Mo Feng said truthfully.

Xun Can frowned, he remembered Mo Fengyi's fear of water, so he asked, "Because you are afraid of water?"

Mo Fengyi shook his head: "But I'm fine when I go to other lakes, I've even been to the beach, and I've never been so afraid, it's like... as if I... in my dream The place where I drowned..."

Xun Can was startled: "In your dream"

"It's...it's weird...but I really feel like it. The water is not big, not even deep, but I can't break free anyway..." Mo Feng Whether he intends to continue or not, the more he thinks about it, the more palpitating he becomes.

Xun Can asked: "It's not because Zi Ming is afraid of water... are you also afraid?"

Mo Fengyi said in a trance: "I don't think so now...Zi Ming was indeed drowned and left a shadow, but she is not afraid now, but I am... more and more afraid... ..."

Xun Can pressed his shoulder reassuringly: "Have you been having nightmares these past few years?"

"Not often, but it's still scary." Mo Fengyi lowered his head and stared at the table.

Xun Can seemed to think of something and said, "Shufachi has indeed drowned people."

Mo Feng raised his head in surprise: "What?"

"There was a court lady who fell into the water once, and the emperor suppressed it, worrying that the people in the palace would be afraid of it." Xun Can said.

Mo Feng frowned: "Why don't I know when?"

"Didn't you say to suppress the matter?" Xun Can explained, "It was a long time ago, probably more than ten years ago. At that time, you should have just left, or maybe you haven't left yet."

Mo Fengyi looked at the calm lake, but became more and more uneasy: "Ten years ago...that has nothing to do with me."

Xun Can said in a low voice: "Yes, I just remembered it suddenly. I still remember that it was passed on by some maids in the palace, and no one dared to mention it afterward."

Mo Fengyi only felt a headache, shook his head and said: "Forget it... I really can't think about it, the more I think about it, the more my head hurts."

Xun Can worried: "Maybe it has something to do with the hair pool? Can you think of anything?"

"We used to come here to play when we were young. I clearly remember that I'm not afraid of water at all. How could I... suddenly be afraid?" Mo Fengyi frowned deeply puzzled.

"Forget it, don't think about it." Xun Can stroked his back and comforted him softly, "It was just a nightmare."

Mo Fengyi said in a daze: "Sometimes I feel...that is not a dream...but those hands..."

Xun Can said softly: "It will be fine, and you have never drowned before."

Mo Feng paused, as long as he saw this lake, he always felt uncomfortable.

"The key to the palace gate will be released soon, let's take Ziming home." Xun Can said.

Mo Feng was like waking up from a dream, and nodded with a smile.

"Hey, I just heard that Ting Lan called you... Brother Cancan." Mo Feng leaned on Xuncan with a smirk and teased, "General Xun, you still have this title."

Xun Can snorted, "That's not a title."

Mo Fengyi thought this title was really cute, so he leaned into Xun Can's ear and said, "Brother Cancan..."

Xun Can's ears turned red quickly, and the words "Brother" yelled in his heart. He looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he quickly stretched his arms around Mo Fengyi's waist, and said in a low voice, "Shout more."

Now it was Mo Fengyi's turn to be stunned, biting his lower lip and saying: "I don't, you are only a few months older than me, so you just want me to call you brother"

"It's older than you anyway." Xun Can said roguely, "Call again and listen."

Mo Fengyi squeezed his chin: "It's okay to be called Cancan, don't want me to call you brother."

Xun Can snorted, and Mo Fengyi said again: "Actually, I still like to call you by your full name. I always feel that those intimate names are not suitable for me."

Xun Can said with a smile, "I like whatever you want."

Mo Fengyi pinched his face again and smiled knowingly.

They walked to the gate of the palace in a short while, Jiang Lu's face turned dark just as Mo Fengyi asked Ling Ziming to go back.

Jiang Lu was unwilling in every possible way, she really liked Ling Ziming, and Ling Ziming was also at a loss, this imperial concubine was really too enthusiastic, she couldn't stand it, and she didn't know why.

"Hey, if you want to go, go, my palace is so spacious, Ziming can stay here." Jiang Lu held Ling Ziming's hand and did not let go.

Mo Fengyi was a little confused: "You still stop Zi Ming from leaving, this is against the rules."

Jiang Lu said angrily: "No one in the palace talks to me. I finally found someone I like. Are you going to take her away? Do you have the heart to leave me alone?"

Just as Mo Fengyi was about to speak again, Jiang Lu said again: "Let's talk about brat, you usually don't follow the rules, and now you dare to teach me a lesson?"

Mo Fengyi was speechless immediately, and looked at Ling Ziming.

Ling Ziming blinked at him, expressing for help.

Xun Can said: "Mother, Ziming can come again tomorrow, but if he lives in the palace, I'm afraid outsiders will criticize him."

Jiang Lu said solemnly: "Whoever dares to criticize me, I like this girl. Why can't I let her stay?"

Xun Can was a little helpless, Ling Ziming lived in the palace, and he was afraid that if he left the palace gate, he would become an unruly person who coveted the prince, and rumors spread throughout the imperial city.

Mo Fengyi also said: "Mother...Zi Ming is not a member of the royal family after all, and the emperor didn't give special approval. She lives in the palace and her name is not right..."

"Really." Jiang Lu was very angry, but she also thought of such a disadvantage. She had to think about Ling Ziming, so she had to let him go, "You are also protecting your shortcomings, just such a younger sister, you are really spoiled." It hurts."

"Of course." Mo Feng leaned towards Jiang Lu with a strange smile, "Madam, I will bring her here often in the future, you will definitely not be alone."

Jiang Lu said helplessly: "Zi Ming, I really like you very much. From now on, no matter what happens, I will come to the palace often."

Ling Ziming nodded obediently: "Thank you for your kindness, I will."

On the way back, Mo Fengyi couldn't figure it out: "Why does the imperial concubine like you so much all of a sudden? What did you talk to her about?"

"What does it mean to like me suddenly? She already liked me." Ling Ziming said.

"Tsk, are you embarrassed?" Mo Feng asked with white eyes.

Ling Ziming said helplessly: "She chatted with me a lot, but it was nothing more than the women's boudoir, what else could there be?"

Mo Feng smiled and said: "Then you should be bored, you should not be interested in these things, right?"

Ling Ziming pouted: "Of course."

But Jiang Lu felt very kind to Ling Ziming. She lost her mother since she was a child. Even though Mo Xian loved her very much later, she never felt this. Jiang Lu asked about everything in detail like a mother. They were all thinking about Shu Qiyun, and she was suddenly envious.

Xun Can asked, "Then what are your plans? To the prince..."

Ling Ziming didn't know how to answer, so he had to say: "Let me think about it."

Mo Fengyi was a little surprised by this answer, but Ling Ziming did not directly reject it.

Xun Can also felt that there was hope, so he asked again: "Then if the imperial concubine still wants you to enter the palace in the future, will you be willing?"

Ling Ziming was taken aback for a moment, a little tangled.

Mo Feng said in a strange voice: "Okay, don't force her anymore, if you want to write more, this girl may not be able to sleep tonight."

Xun Can smiled.

Ling Ziming looked at the two of them, and they both became nervous at the same time, Ling Ziming narrowed his eyes and said: "You guys... don't sing and make up, okay?"

Mo Fengyi flicked her forehead: "You have gained strength after chatting with the imperial concubine, haven't you?"

Ling Ziming smiled lightly: "My heart is much more comfortable."

Xun Can said: "Okay, it's time to arrive, I'll go back first."

Mo Fengyi was taken aback for a moment: "Uh...okay..."

"Brother Xun, are you hungry? You didn't try Xiao Ke's craft last time, so don't miss it this time," Ling Ziming invited with a light smile.

Xun Can paused, then nodded quickly.

This meal made Mo Fengyi extremely uncomfortable, he always felt that this dead girl Ling Ziming did it on purpose, but she had a harmless smile on her face, Mo Fengyi couldn't do anything with her at all.

He wanted to get closer to Xun Can, but he was afraid that Ling Ziming would see something, but then he felt that Ling Ziming had already seen it, and it didn't matter if he was generous, so he struggled repeatedly and felt very uncomfortable.

Xun Can felt the same way, he suddenly regretted that he agreed so soon.

Hou Ke was a little scared, afraid of Xun Can. No matter who he heard about this person, he was dignified and upright, especially Gongsun Songli's worship of Xun Can was not even a little bit, almost making him a myth.Hou Ke was even more afraid, especially worried that this person would trouble Mo Fengyi.

"Brother." Ling Ziming broke the silence, "Why don't you speak?"

Mo Fengyi was a little embarrassed, his chopsticks were stuck in the air: "What are you talking about?"

Ling Ziming said calmly: "Let's chat casually."

Mo Fengyi was so choked that he didn't know what to say: "What are you talking about?"

Ling Ziming smiled, she knew Mo Fengyi's virtues best, it was obviously nervous, she immediately concluded that Mo Fengyi was definitely restless now.

"Where did you and brother Xun go when I was chatting with the imperial concubine?" Ling Ziming asked calmly.

Mo Fengyi was finally able to speak: "What else can I do, just walk around."

Ling Ziming asked again: "Didn't Brother Xun want to face the saint? Didn't he go?"

"Of course I did." Xun Can hurriedly replied.

Mo Fengyi and Xun Can exchanged a look. When are they going to obey this girl?Why are they so short of breath in front of Ling Ziming?

Ling Ziming said thoughtfully: "Oh..."

Hou Ke didn't even dare to raise his head while holding the bowl. He felt awkward at the dinner table, but he didn't know why.

After finally surviving dinner, Mo Fengyi sent Xun Can out.

"Did Zi Ming know?" Xun Can asked.

Mo Fengyi said helplessly: "It should be..."

Xun Can narrowed his eyes and smiled lightly: "What are you going to do?"

"I plan to tell her." Mo Fengyi said directly.

Xun Can asked curiously, "Didn't you say that Zi Ming is special, so be careful?"

"This girl is a ghost, I think she must be testing me tonight." Mo Fengyi crossed his arms and thought.

Xun Can nodded: "How about I go with you?"

"Farewell, you can't talk to me at all, didn't you notice at dinner tonight?" Mo Fengyi curled his lips, he didn't know why he was so nervous.

Xun Can suddenly laughed: "I can't see that you are quite afraid of Zi Ming."

"I'm not afraid." Mo Fengyi glared at him, "I'm going to tell my sister, what about you? Are you going to tell your uncle?"

Xun Can nodded: "Wait until after Songli is crowned. Uncle has a lot of things to do recently. If I talk about it now, I'm afraid he will be distracted by one more thing."

Mo Fengyi asked: "When will Songli be crowned? I have to prepare a big gift for him."

Xun Can said with a smile: "It's still early, there are still a few months."

Mo Fengyi had no choice but to tug on his sleeve and said, "If...your uncle doesn't accept..."

"No." Xun Can interrupted him, looking at him tenderly.

Mo Feng felt very relieved, nodded and turned back into the room.

Ling Ziming was just resting his head and waiting for him to come back. As soon as Mo Fengyi entered the room, Ling Ziming smiled and said:

"Brother Xun has gone back?"

Mo Fengyi nodded and ordered: "Everyone go out."

Hou Ke's eyes widened, Mo Fengyi turned around and said, "You too."

Ling Ziming looked at Hou Ke with a bewildered smile and went out the door with an aggrieved face.

"What are you doing, why did you send them all away?"

Mo Fengyi sat opposite Ling Ziming and said, "What do you think?"

"How do I know?" Ling Ziming looked at him with a smile.

Mo Fengyi stared at her and said, "Did you have a heartache today?"

Ling Ziming immediately changed his face: "Why bring this up again?"

"I've been quite busy during the time I've come to the imperial city, and it looks like I'll be strict with you in the future, Xiao Ke is really unreliable." Mo Feng said coldly.

"If you don't plan to talk to me, I'll go back to my room." Said Ling Ziming got up.

Mo Fengyi pushed her to sit down and said, "Okay, okay, I won't ask anymore, I have something to say."

Mo Fengyi secretly made up his mind, then breathed out and said, "Xun Can and I...are reconciled, but it may be different from what you think."

"I think it may be the same as what I thought." Ling Ziming smiled brightly, "Really, brother?"

Mo Fengyi narrowed his eyes and said, "Then what do you think about us?"

"I like it." Ling Ziming thought for a while and then said, "But I'm very strange, brother, you are a broken sleeve, why didn't I find out?"

Mo Fengyi was suddenly relieved, he knew that Ling Ziming wouldn't say much, but he was worried that it was Ling Ziming's generosity to him, not that he really didn't mind, now Ling Ziming's expression made Mo Feng Yi was relieved.

Mo Feng tilted his head and said, "How can you find out?"

"For example... you and Brother Xiaohua have been together for so many years, and you don't like him." Ling Ziming said, "You just treat Brother Xun differently."

"Yes." Mo Fengyi felt relieved, "Otherwise?"

"Does Brother Xiaohua know?" Ling Ziming asked, pouted.

Mo Fengyi didn't want to lie to her, so he could only nod his head.

Ling Ziming said angrily: "You didn't tell me first!"

"Hey, I thought I was hit by Xiao Hua... I didn't think about it at all, and I will tell you now that I have thought about it." Mo Fengyi muttered.

Ling Zi thought about it, and was bumped into by Hua Qianzi, which was five years...nearly six years ago...

"You guys were in Tongzhou...I just found out now! Brother!"

Mo Fengyi quickly motioned her to lower her voice: "Didn't they separate later, I told you this after reconciliation."

"Then I was the last to know!" Ling Ziming hugged his arm angrily.

"Xiao Ke and the others don't know, so I just told you, okay?" Mo Fengyi coaxed her, "You were the first thing I thought of when I made up my mind."

Only then did Ling Ziming relax a bit: "Really"

"I promise."

Ling Ziming thought about it and asked again: "Then you separated... because you were leaving the imperial city"

Mo Fengyi nodded hesitantly: "That's right."

"But...don't you still want to leave this time?" Ling Ziming asked struggling.

Mo Fengyi was stunned, and then sighed: "I will tell him, this must be different from the previous one."

Ling Ziming said helplessly: "I don't want to agree to Shu Qiyun, but I just think that one day I won't be able to be with him."

Mo Fengyi bit his lower lip and said: "But I don't want to live my life unsatisfactorily. I just like him. Even if we have to separate tomorrow, I still want to be with him today. Girl, have you ever thought about... "

"I can't think about it." Ling Ziming said suddenly.

Mo Fengyi had a headache: "Why I might be, but I am willing to try to let go of these knots, why can't you?"

"Brother." Ling Ziming interrupted him with a smile, "I've expelled the Gu, can I still turn back?"

Mo Fengyi's eyes glowed, and he said softly: "Do you know why I have to go to the Lianyang Peak to get the weed grass?"

Ling Ziming looked up at him, a little at a loss.

"I went there for you, not just to save your life, but to live happily for you, girl, you are hesitant to compromise now, are you happy? Don't you feel that you have let me down?"

"Happy... My wish is to be safe and happy all my life, but it's too difficult." Ling Ziming said with tears in his eyes, "Just now the imperial concubine told me that the prince is diligent in government affairs, and he doesn't want to marry or form a gang. The faction is to prove one's ability. There are many people in the court who need to rely on marriage to strengthen their power, but Shu Qiyun doesn't want to do that. He wants to prove to the emperor that no matter who he marries, he is a well-deserved prince of Beiyi .”

Mo Fengyi listened silently, Ling Ziming continued:

"When I heard this, I felt that whether he did it for me or not, it was worth my marriage, but I can't. It doesn't matter if I die, but what if I go mad? I will kill him forever."

Mo Fengyi didn't like it very much, he said slowly: "I can see Shu Qiyun's sincerity, at least you are fine now, why can't you try it? You are not deeply infected, and you haven't had any attacks in the past few years." , let alone become obsessed, you can’t deny everything now because of unknown things, right?”

Ling Ziming was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes and said aggrievedly: "Why don't I want to do whatever I want? I have asked myself countless times, why am I under the gu and why am I under the gu, but no one can answer what I did wrong, brother , why are you talking?"

Mo Fengyi was so distressed that Ling Ziming was the same as him back then, and Mo Fengyi asked himself countless times what mistakes he had made. God wanted to punish him like this, tease him, and make him suffer this pain. Zi Ming will only suffer more, because she has exorcised the voodoo.

Mo Fengyi took her into his arms, and Ling Ziming leaned on his shoulder and wept softly: "Brother...why is it me?"

"I'm sorry... I'm sorry girl, it's my brother's fault, I shouldn't force you to make the same choice as me." Mo Feng felt the trembling crying in his arms.

Ling Ziming was already very tired, and this crying exhausted her energy even more, she was a little sleepy.

"Brother...you can't deny everything now because of unknown things, but once it happens, that's all." Ling Ziming shed the last tear, and finally fell asleep from exhaustion.

Mo Fengyi looked at the little girl in his arms, and he suddenly remembered that Ling Ziming was very presumptuous when she was a child. Like Mo Fengyi, she was a person who wanted to do everything according to her own will, but since this happened, a high-minded An arrogant girl must endure silence and be cautious. Mo Fengyi doesn't know when she changed, but she has already changed. That proud Ling Ziming is gone forever.

He carried Ling Ziming back to the room, just as he put him under the quilt, Ling Ziming woke up in a daze:

"Brother...did I just fall asleep?"

"Yeah." Mo Feng smiled and sat on the edge of the bed, "Sleep well, don't think about anything."

Ling Ziming asked sleepily: "Brother...do you think I will be okay?"

After Mo Fengyi covered the quilt with a light smile, he said, "Yes, I have my brother here."
