The huge hall is extremely bright, and there are several ink paintings of celebrities hanging on the walls, showing a strong sense of simplicity and elegance. However, the patterns on the hanging beams are exquisitely carved, yet luxurious.

Jing Cheng sat quietly at the table, his sleeves slightly raised and caressed on the table, revealing his white knuckles like jade, very delicate, he looked up at the closed door with a little impatience on his face, his eyebrows slightly frowned rise.

"Master Chen, drink tea, the master will be here soon, please wait a little longer." The housekeeper stood respectfully in front of Jing Cheng, and handed the teacup to Jing Cheng.

Jing Cheng raised his hand and lifted the lid of the cup, a refreshing fragrance slowly wafted out, with an intoxicated smile on his face, he leaned over and took a sip, the fragrance filled his throat, Jing Cheng couldn't help but nodded in admiration , it really is a good tea, I am afraid that this kind of top-quality Longjing tea is a tribute to the Holy Majesty, I don't know how to get the calligraphy and ink.

Jing Cheng put down the teacup, and tapped it on the table with an unusually crisp sound.He looked up at the flowing ink on the scroll beside him, and tapped the edge of the table with his fingertips. After Shumo took over as the head of the house, his taste was really different from the past. He didn't remember that Shumo liked such decorative calligraphy and painting.

Although Shumo has changed and was forced to cater to his noble status, his original heart has never changed.After Jing Cheng stepped into the court, he was admired by everyone, and he was so high every day that he never even remembered how he hugged Shumo to keep warm in the humble house, and the smile on his face leaning against Shumo's arms.

Jing Cheng still didn't see Shumo for a long time, he put down his sleeves and got up slowly, "When Shumo comes back, tell him that I will wait for him at Tianxiang Inn tomorrow."

"Master Chen, my servant has already gone to inform the master. Please wait a moment, the master will be back soon." The butler followed closely beside Jing Cheng. He doesn't have to come to the house anymore.

"No need." Jing Cheng waved his hand, since Shumo couldn't get away for a while, it doesn't matter if he mentions this matter another day.As an important minister of the imperial court, he is so busy with official duties that he has no free time to wait for Shumo.

Jing Cheng stretched out his hand to push open the door, and saw a figure hurrying up in the distance.

Shumo stepped up several steps in succession, his white clothes fluttered slightly, his hair draped over his shoulders, like an exiled immortal.Under the sunlight, the beautiful face was extremely white, like a natural jade, and there was a faint hint of joy between the delicate eyebrows and eyes.

"Sorry, I didn't come in time for some things just now, and I kept Jing Cheng waiting for a long time." Shumo smiled apologetically, and the smile on his face was exceptionally beautiful.

"It's nothing." Jing Cheng shook his head, he knew that Shumo was not his servant, and he could call him around at any time.

"Jing Cheng, let's go in and talk." Shumo was a little thankful that he arrived in time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to see Jing Cheng one step later.

At the beginning, Shumo was saddened that Jing Cheng saw him only to discuss important matters, but that day when he saw Jing Cheng's indifferent face, he felt heartbroken and even mistakenly thought that Jing Cheng wanted to cut off any connection with him.Now that he could see Jing Cheng again, he was already content, and he didn't even mind working for Jing Cheng.

It is absolutely impossible for them to go back to the beginning, and Shumo can only look at Jing Cheng's figure from a distance. If Jing Cheng doesn't need him at all, I'm afraid the relationship between them will really be over.

"Okay." Jing Cheng nodded, turning slightly to avoid Shu Mo's fingertips caressing his sleeve.It's better to discuss this matter as soon as possible, otherwise it will keep pressing in his heart day and night and he will not be able to sleep peacefully.

"Sit down." Shumo leaned over and sat beside Jing Cheng. He pushed a plate of delicate pastries on the table to Jing Cheng. Although he knew that Jing Cheng would not come to his house easily, he still ordered the kitchen Make Jingcheng's favorite pastry and put it in the room, even if one day Jing Cheng comes to use the next piece of pastry.

"You have heard that Lord Jing's youngest son was sentenced to death for intentional murder, and he will be put in prison and will be executed soon." Jing Cheng looked at Shumo's face and said in a deep voice.

Shu Mo nodded, his eyes were a little puzzled, he didn't know how this had anything to do with Jing Cheng.

"Jing Cheng wants to save him." Shumo pondered for a while, if Jing Cheng saved the young master, he would also win the favor of Prince Jing, if Jing Cheng wanted to ask for something in the future, Prince Jing would do his best to do it.Shumo frowned slightly. He didn't know when Jing Cheng's appetite became so big that he actually stretched out his hand to Lord Jing. Empress Chen's mother loves the world, and the Chen family's position in the court is deeply rooted, so why Jing Cheng in secret This is how to draw people together.

Or maybe Jing Cheng did it because of it, Shu Mo shook his head slightly, maybe he was overthinking, how could the Chen family have always been loyal to the court, so how could they seek rebellion.

Jing Cheng nodded, Shumo really understood him very well, and explained his thoughts with one word.

"The case of the young master was hand-picked by the emperor, and there is absolutely no possibility of reversing the case. Moreover, the young master is locked in the dungeon of the imperial city, guarded by many guards, and it is impossible to rescue him so easily." Shumo looked at him in embarrassment. Jing Cheng, with the power of the Lin family, it is very difficult to do it. If there is a reward for the strange and talented people in the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that the news will leak out, which will also be detrimental to Jing Cheng.

"I've already considered this matter carefully, so I don't need Shumo to worry about it. I came to see you today, but I just hope that you can go to the dungeon secretly to replace the young master after five days." Jing Cheng raised his hand and took a sip of his teacup. One bite, nothing unusual on the face.

"Does Jing Cheng want me to die for the young master?" Shumo stared closely at Jing Cheng's face, his voice was extremely cold, and even the trace of sadness faded away.

Shumo suddenly smiled, and his smile was very sad. One day, the husband and wife were very kind. He and Jing Cheng had been together for several years, and even snuggled up on the small bed in the humble house. Jing Cheng even gave birth to the child for him. Qing'er, is Jing Cheng willing to take his life?Or maybe Jing Cheng forgot everything in the past after ascending to a high position.

Shumo leaned on the back of the chair, his heart was already extremely cold, perhaps this was the reward for all his efforts to push Jing Cheng to the front of the palace.He looked at his young Qing'er, he was reluctant to let Jing Cheng struggle alone in the quagmire, he tried his best to help Jing Cheng, and whether Jing Cheng could understand his suffering.

"What are you talking about? How could I let you die in the prison." Jing Cheng's heart suddenly tightened, and a strange emotion flashed across him. He tried his best to hold onto the edge of the table to calm down.

"That night after you replaced the young master, you sat in the cell and hid the eyes of the patrolling people. I have secretly bribed the execution guards. When you are about to execute, there will be death row prisoners who will drink the poisoned wine for you." Jing Cheng looked at Shumo pale. With his face, Shumo has some abilities to become the head of the Lin family, and he is not at ease if he is replaced by other guards. Once the emperor finds out about this, he will be ruined and have no chance to stand up.

"It turns out that Jing Cheng never wanted my life." Shumo said slowly, although his eyes were looking at Jing Cheng's face, his gaze seemed to be drifting away into the distance.Maybe Jing Cheng kept his life just for his identity.

Shumo didn't know when Jing Cheng had treated him so unfeelingly, could it be that the affection hidden in Jing Cheng's heart was gone.Shumo once mistakenly thought that Jing Cheng was in a high position, so he had to pretend to be indifferent, so he realized now that Jing Cheng really has no feelings, even when he looks at the young lover, he doesn't think of any old feelings.

Jing Cheng frowned in displeasure, he never wanted Shu Mo's life at all, it was clearly Shu Mo's misunderstanding. "If you don't want to go, I'm thinking of another way." But he would never beg Shumo, Jing Cheng waited for a long time but did not get Shumo's response, he couldn't help but irritated.But he was still a little worried that Shumo would refuse, after all he couldn't think of anyone else except Shumo.

"I would like to go." Shumo said softly, he loves Jing Cheng, and is willing to sacrifice everything to love him, but Jing Cheng never understands his intentions, maybe Jing Cheng once understood, Shumo recalled Jing Cheng's slightly cold She flung herself into his arms, with a slight smile on her face, but Jing Cheng would never approach him again in the future.

"Don't worry, I will keep my promise, and someone will replace you when you are executed." Jing Cheng made a heavy promise, and if he was not fully sure, he would not let Shumo take risks.

Shumo looked at the distance in a daze and despair, as if he hadn't heard Jing Cheng's voice.

"It's dangerous this time, Shumo be careful." Jing Cheng raised his hand and patted Shumo's palm, exhorting.

Shumo felt a trace of warmth, and held Jing Cheng's fingertips with his backhand.Jing Cheng didn't expect Shumo's sudden movement, and suddenly retracted his hand into his sleeve.

There was only a piece of clothes remaining in Shumo's palm, he held it lightly but was a little reluctant to let go.Jing Cheng loathed his touch so much, but back then when he hugged the emaciated body beneath him, he even vowed heavily to cherish the person in his arms for the rest of his life.All of this has passed, Jing Cheng is no longer that humiliated bastard in a high position, and naturally he doesn't have to endure the humiliation under him.

Jing Cheng looked at the sad smile on Shu Mo's face, feeling a little strange in his heart, he put down his sleeves heavily, got up and walked to the door.

When Jing Cheng stepped over the threshold, he seemed to feel empty in his heart, as if something was missing.In the past, Shumo would keep him repeatedly when he left, but today Shumo didn't say a word.Jing Cheng took a step back, turned around and looked into Shumo's confused eyes.

"I'm leaving." Jing Cheng couldn't help saying, as if he wanted to wake up Shumo.

Shumo nodded, "I will do my best for things five days later, so Jing Cheng doesn't need to worry."

Jing Cheng frowned, he didn't want Shumo's promise.This matter is quite important, and even a little dangerous, if Shumo asks to keep him for dinner in the mansion, he will definitely not refuse because he is grateful for Shumo's help.But now Shumo didn't say a word, and Jing Cheng's tensed face would not let go.

Shumo looked at Jing Cheng's figure still staying in the room, and waved to the maid beside him, "Send Master Chen to leave."

"No need." Jing Cheng said coldly, and walked away from the door with a flick of his sleeves.

Shumo looked at Jing Cheng's receding back, his straight back slowly slumped, the person in his heart had gone far, and he could no longer catch up with Jing Cheng's footsteps.

Maybe he can still help Jing Cheng today, but in the future when he can't do anything, they still can't avoid the moment of parting ways.

Jing Cheng got up slowly and walked to the distant room. He was already content with Qing'er by his side, but Jing Cheng, as an important minister in the court, was beyond his expectation.
