Shimmer Forest

After that day, another seven days passed, and Xiao Qinghan did not appear anywhere.

Occasionally, a servant could see him reading or writing in the house, and occasionally there would be the sound of falling from the house.

The medicine delivered every day was accepted by Su Jin on his behalf, and the empty bowl would be sent out after that person finished drinking.

The servant who came to deliver the medicine wanted to use this matter to make some fuss, but because of Xuan Lingxiao's order, he didn't dare to act rashly.

Although Xuan Lingyun really wanted to find fault, Xiao Qinghan always took the attitude of ignoring and meeting each other. He felt that he was bored, so he ran back after tossing for a while.

And Xuan Lingxiao probably felt that what he did before was too much, so he didn't force him to come out.He wandered outside his courtyard every day, stopping for a long time before leaving.

On the eighth day, his uneasiness had already exceeded the limit of his patience, and after trying to persuade him outside the door to no avail, he forced his way in.

Su Jin was the only one in the room, wearing the clothes he had just arrived, writing leisurely.

That is to say, whether it is reading, writing, playing chess, or dealing with drugs, the person in the house these days has always been Su Jin.

"Where's Qinghan?" Xuan Lingxiao controlled his right hand that was trembling with anger, and asked in an emotionless and indifferent tone, with killing intent in his eyes.

"I'll let him go." Su Jin was still writing nonchalantly, and answered casually and naturally, as if it wasn't a big deal to him.

"It's up to you?" The other party asked word by word through gritted teeth.

"If you don't believe me, just look for it?" He put down the pen in his hand and shrugged indifferently.

"Bastard!" His patience had reached its limit, Xuan Lingxiao grabbed his collar, wanting to tear him into pieces: "Where did he go?"

"The world is so big, he can go anywhere, right?" This kind of rude behavior did not cause Su Jin any fear, and he still answered calmly.

"I'll ask you again, where did he go?"

"do not know."

"Then do you know that I have thousands of ways to make you want to die!"

"It's worth it if you can save Qinghan."

"Do you think you are saving him?" The anger has exceeded his reason, Xuan Lingxiao's roar resounded in the silent room: "His body is already very weak, and he will die immediately after leaving this palace!"

"It's better than being imprisoned here for the rest of your life."

"Shut up! In order to keep him alive, how much effort I have wasted, all of which have been ruined by you!"

"You killed all his clansmen and imprisoned him here just to get the so-called happiness." Su Jin looked directly at him with cold and provocative eyes: "If you did all this for him, why would you Do something like this?"

"Bastard, I didn't kill his people!"

"That's Qinghan from your dog—" He glanced at the trembling medicine delivery servant huddled in the corner, his eyes slightly narrowed: "Your servant heard it with his own ears."

"That's right, I ordered him to say that!" Pulling his collar tighter, Xuan Lingxiao, who was about to lose his mind, told the whole truth: "Otherwise? You want me to tell him , he was sent here by the patriarch to beg for peace because he is weak and useless in the clan?"

"How do you want me to tell him that his people have betrayed him from the very beginning..." The hand that was clenched on the collar slowly loosened, and his voice gradually sank: "I finally let him live The belief in going on... If he hates me, if he wants to avenge his people, he will definitely persevere... Even if he always wants to kill me, as long as he can live..."

The sound became weaker and weaker until the last lingering sound disappeared.Su Jin suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned her head and asked softly, "Did you hear that?"

After a brief silence, Xiao Qinghan slowly walked out from behind the curtain with a calm expression.

"Qing Han?" He didn't expect the development of the situation at all, even Xuan Lingxiao couldn't help being surprised.He stared at the man in shock for a long time, until he confirmed that the man was not a phantom, then he rushed up and hugged him firmly: "So you are still here. It's great that you're fine, really great."

Xiao Qinghan didn't say anything, just hugged him lightly, his expression soft and relieved like never before.

The obstacle that stood in front of the two of them collapsed at this moment. Su Jin thought, let the two of them explain the rest of the misunderstandings and love slowly.

He smiled, retreated silently, and closed the door in front of him.

"He's obviously a little brat, but he's quite capable." A provocative voice sounded in his ears. Although it was a compliment, there was still a little dissatisfaction in the contempt.

Turning his head, he found Xuan Lingyun leaning outside the door, staring at him with contempt.

Provocative words as always, but no hostility in the past.Su Jin also responded with a smile, and rarely got angry: "That's thanks to the information you revealed when you were 'drunk'."

"Cut, I just don't want to lose one more person to quarrel with!" Knowing that his little trick had been seen through, Xuan Lingyun turned his head away and shouted bravado: "However, I won't give up that guy... to give up happiness of!"

Looking at the redness in the base of his ears, Su Jin couldn't help laughing, and said leisurely, "That would be the best."

"What, you brat, you're so irritating!" Xuan Lingyun yelled angrily as if his thoughts had been seen through, trying to change the subject: "Didn't you swear that you would take Qinghan out? Why? ? If you can't do it, change your mind and let him reconcile with the emperor?"

"I've already done it." Sighing, Su Jin turned his head to look at the closed door, and said leisurely: "Take him out of the cage of 'heart' full of pain and hatred."

That night, Xiao Qinghan and Su Jin talked by candlelight.The other party brewed a pot of good tea and put the steaming warm tea in front of him. After a long time, he opened his mouth slowly.

"You...why do you know these things?"

"Don't you think, as a hostage, he gives you too much freedom?" Su Jin took a sip of tea, looked around, and finally settled on him: "This small courtyard is clean and exquisite, The most suitable for convalescence. The servants...except for the one who delivered the medicine, they all treat you respectfully. Even an outsider like me can rely on you to come in and out freely and be treated respectfully. Even the prince's flower garden can be treated with respect. go."

"I thought...he was just afraid that I would die and not get what he wanted, so..."

"You already knew, didn't you?" Interrupting his words, Su Jin looked straight into his eyes and asked seriously: "It's just that you are afraid that you will fall in love with him. You can't bear to fall in love with the enemy who killed your entire clan. That's why I'm in a cocoon."

Xiao Qinghan paused for a moment with the hand holding the water glass, but did not answer.

"The rumor about Xuan Lingxiao killing your people was full of flaws. It's just that you were blinded by hatred, so you couldn't see it." Su Jin continued, not caring about his silence.

"You..." Xiao Qinghan put down his teacup, squinted his eyes and stared at him, as if he wanted to ask something, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into a smile: "You really don't look like an ordinary child..."

"This is the third time you've said this." Su Jin responded with a smile, drank the water in the teacup, and then stood up: "Now that the matter has come to an end, I'm going home."

"In such a hurry?" Xiao Qinghan also stood up, and the surprise on his face gradually turned soft: "I have never entertained you well. I wanted to hold a real banquet before you left."

"No." Although Su Jin himself was a little reluctant to leave, he still rejected his kindness: "If I don't go back, the people waiting for me will probably go crazy."

After a long silence, Xiao Qinghan took out an exquisite box from his sleeve and put it in his hands: "Since you insist, I won't force you to keep it. This is a farewell gift, and I hope it can bring you happiness."

"...Thank you." After taking the delicate wooden box inlaid with jade, Su Jin did not intend to refuse, but just held the box like a treasure, and then said softly: "When you are cured, come Come and play with me in the world. I will let you see it all, my beautiful hometown that I am proud of."

Surprise gradually covered his eyes, and soon turned into a gentle smile.Xiao Qinghan held his hand and said firmly, "Okay."

The figures of the palace and Xiao Qinghan gradually disappeared, and when he came back to his senses, he was already standing in a familiar place.

It was the place where he had seen the sky ladder, and the clouds in the sky were still tinged with purple.And the person he was most familiar with stood in the afterglow of the setting sun, looking haggard and hesitant.

"Stupid wow wow..." Before he could speak, Wu Hao came straight over, hugging him with snot and tears: "You disappeared after climbing the ladder, you scared me to death! This whole day Where have you been!"

Shocked for a short time, Su Jin hugged the man's trembling shoulders and comforted him softly: "It's just that I was invited to a banquet."

"Banquet?" Wu Hao raised his head suddenly, with snot still on his face: "I'm so worried about you, but you ran to have fun yourself!"

"Okay. As an apology, how about I make you special glutinous rice balls tonight?" Su Jin wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and it was rare that he didn't dislike him.After experiencing so many things, all anxiety and exhaustion disappeared the moment I saw him.It seems that all the efforts I have made are to return to this person as soon as possible.

"Book, bookworm..." Wu Hao stared at him in surprise, and even stumbled: "Did you eat something strange at the banquet? Unexpectedly, so gentle..."

Before he finished speaking, Su Jin lifted his leg and gave him a kick, and said with a deadpan expression: "No matter how stupid you are, there should be a limit, you muscular man."

"It hurts, hurts..." Clutching his stomach and rolling on the ground a few times, he quickly got up again, and hugged Su Jin tightly: "It's great that you're fine."

"Stupid." Let him hug, let his snot and tears fall on his clothes.Su Jin closed her eyes, took a deep breath, felt the reassuring feeling, and said softly, "I'm back."

-------------------------------------------------- ----

It was a long time later that Su Jin opened the exquisite wooden box Xiao Qinghan gave him.

Inside was a cyan feather, dense and intact, with a slight luster.

Whenever I look at it, I will think of those incredible days on the Tiangong.

And every time the sun sets, he can't help but look up at the sky, hoping to see a familiar blue figure from somewhere.

Does anyone know?Did the blue bird that broke free from the shackles get happiness?
