I see the snow

In the early morning, ask for flaws.

The disciples of Guanxing Pavilion are required to practice and meditate every day. When the sky is bright, they have to come out one after another yawning, and go to the small room for meditation with sleepy eyes.

They wore uniform snow suits and golden thread embroidered clothes, and they were all slouching towards the small room with their heads drooping.From time to time, someone accidentally stepped on the boots of the same door in front; or greeted indistinctly: "Morning, Brother Jiang"...

Yan Jin is Chu Yuan's direct disciple, so he doesn't have to be bound by it.As early as the first two years of joining the cabinet, he had already completed the practice of "meditation".

Except for Chu Yuan's "You Xie" Qin, most people couldn't detect what he was thinking.

"Brother Yan, you're going out of the palace again."

At this moment, when the sleepy-eyed disciples saw Yan Jin walking in from the Qiuxia stage, their eyes lit up:

"You went to buy spicy soup for Master again? Hey... How early do you have to get up?"

Since Chu Yuan broke his body, his spiritual power has been declining day by day, and his five senses, such as taste and smell, have been regressing.Sometimes I can't taste the taste of food, and people are getting thinner and thinner.

Yan Jin often went outside the palace gate to buy him the folk spicy soup.

It's a pity that something happened in the gilt palace recently, the new emperor Shen Yan suddenly had a headache and fainted, and then he didn't wake up and get better, so Chu Yuan rushed over to take care of him.

Haven't come back yet.

It was also for this reason that the guards who had been guarding the Qiuxia Terrace before were relaxed a little, and Yan Jin was able to get out.

"Hey, let me smell it."

When the teenagers passed by, they all gathered around and looked at it happily: "It's so fragrant, brother Yan! Is this the one in Liu Lane, Xuanwu Avenue? It is said that the boss has been making spicy soup there since my grandfather's generation. The old man has Temper, he won't go when any dignitary invites him into the mansion! He wants to make soup in the corner of his house... It is said that to buy him a bowl of soup, he has to wait in line for at least half an hour... Senior Brother Yan, what are you doing? Did you leave the palace at midnight?"

Yan Jin's expression was indifferent, and he said "hmm".

His silver mask covered most of his expressions, making it difficult for people to figure out his thoughts.

"Master may not come back today..."

Probably because the hot and spicy soup was so fragrant, the hot air rushed into people's noses, and all the teenagers who passed by couldn't walk.The feet and body are moving forward, but the head can't wait to follow Yan Jin and twist into a mess: "I'll smell it for a while... Brother Yan, let me smell it for a while!!"

"Go away."

However, Yan Jin was just indifferent, and didn't even have the slightest sideways gaze, just walked through the crowd, and walked back to the room silently and coldly.

"...What's the matter?"

The teenagers were puzzled and asked inexplicably, "Who made brother Yan angry again?"

However, this group of teenagers who were born to be protected with no worries about food and clothing did not understand that when they were still getting up early every morning to practice and meditate, earth-shaking changes had taken place outside.

Countless people died tragically in the Capital of Stars and Fields, and the conflict between Qin Tianjian and Guanxing Pavilion gradually became fierce. In the annual National Sacrifice Hall, it was predicted that Guanxing Pavilion and Yushitai would be the three stars of the country... All the spearheads, They all gathered in the Star Watching Pavilion.

Originally, Yan Jin didn't know, but it wasn't until he found an opportunity to go out of the palace today that he realized what the reason for the vague isolation and house arrest these days was.

But no matter how earth-shattering it is outside, those burnt thatched huts and the stench of corpses in the air can't linger in this isolated begging platform...

"Do you want trauma medicine again?"

When passing Lanshi, Yan Jin paused for a moment.

The senior sister who was busy behind the wooden cabinet heard the noise and turned around. As soon as she saw Yan Jin, she knew what was going on.She sighed, looked at Yan Jin and said, "Where did you fight again?...Where was the injury?"

This is Yan Jin's senior sister at the same time, who is in charge of the healing herbs and other affairs in Guanxing Pavilion.When Yan Jin first joined the cabinet, he was often looked down upon by others, fought with others, and came to Lanshi when he was injured.

He was one of the few people in Guanxing Pavilion who was close to Yan Jin.

"Second Senior Sister..."

This time, the boy with the silver mask was silent for a while, and then he opened his mouth and murmured, "I saw the capital of the stars."

The woman's hand paused, and as expected, the next sentence the boy said was:

"They are all slandering Master, and even painted a portrait of Master to humiliate him."

Women will know.

Yan Jin was a strange person, and he was easy to understand.He was picked up by Chu Yuan from outside. It is said that when Chu Yuan saw him, the scrawny child was covered in dirt and was fighting a dog for a steamed bun that fell into the mud by the stinking ditch.

He was covered in blood and covered in scabs.But that unyielding, ruthless gaze like a wolf cub immediately moved Chu Yuan.

At that time, Chu Yuan was wearing white clothes, just hugging a dirty child, and brought him back to Guanxing Pavilion.

After that, Yan Jin became a wolf cub that Chu Yuan could control alone.

The once lonely child has grown into a cold boy, he is indifferent to everything, so indifferent that people worry that he will grow into a murderous demon without blinking an eye.But only when facing Chu Yuan, the high wolf's head would lower down tamely, allowing the pale and frail man in snow in front of him to caress his forehead.

In this world, the only person who can make him withdraw his sharpness is Chu Yuan; the only person who can make him instantly irritated is Chu Yuan.

"Don't say it."

The second senior sister was silent for a moment, then she breathed out lightly, took out two liang of medicinal herbs from the small drawer, wrapped them in medicinal paper, Tong Yanjin said in a low voice, "Especially... don't let the Young Pavilion Master know."

"...you already knew?"

A look of surprise flashed across Yan Jin's face, but the woman smiled wryly: "Yes. Otherwise, why do you think the guards outside were patrolling like that a few days ago and didn't let us go out?"

"—I'm afraid that the news will come in and flow into the ears of the young pavilion master."

Yan Jin's face was full of astonishment, and he was so dazed that he couldn't even recover for a while.

The woman in the light gauze and brocade dress chuckled, and said in a low voice: "Young Pavilion Master's health is getting worse and worse, let him know these terrible things, how can he recover from his illness?... Let me see the injury on your arm. Did they type it?"

Yan Jin nodded dully, but he hadn't fully digested the message his senior sister told him.

"Your Majesty is also thinking about the Young Pavilion Master..."

The woman sighed softly: "Those rumors are too hurtful..."

"They said Master was the source of the disaster."

The half-grown boy lowered his eyes and murmured: "They smashed all the small shrines in the Guanxing Pavilion, and splashed dung on the stone statue of Master. Some children beat the statue of Master with rattan sticks, and took turns going to the statue of Master." Defecation on the top... I was so angry that I started fighting with them."

"why?"

The eyes of the young man under the silver mask flickered with perplexity: "Why do they say such things about Master? He clearly...does these things for their own good, but in the end, they repay their kindness with revenge!"

"This is the world."

The woman looked at him quietly and said: "Only those who see the world clearly and are still willing to help them are sages."

The herb was already wrapped, and she pushed it towards Yan Jin with her slender fingers.

"Don't think about it anymore." She said: "Go back and get a good sleep. Don't reveal anything wrong, let the Young Pavilion Master find out..."

"Oh."

"Yan Jin, I've always been very curious about one thing."

Before leaving, the woman stopped him again and asked: "If the young pavilion master really caused the disaster, his death... would save tens of millions of lives. How would you choose?"

"Master and the lives of thousands of people?"

Yan Jin turned around.

"Yes."

"Of course thousands of people will die."

The boy answered it naturally, as if it was not a difficult choice for him to answer.

A trace of indifference and ferocity flashed across the young and stern face: "...Everyone in the world has betrayed me, only Master has not betrayed me."

"Then I only want Master."

……

On the other side, the town government.

Xi Huai said he went out to buy small yellow croakers, but he didn't come back for several hours.

Yinzhichuan waited in the mansion for a long time, and couldn't help but feel worried.

However, when he couldn't bear his temper and was about to go out to look for him, Xi Huai came back.

He was well behaved, his expression was as indifferent as ever, but he seemed to be a little more concerned than usual, and his brows were tightly frowned.

Yinzhichuan met him face to face, and he didn't express much, he just lowered his eyes so low that he was about to go around Yinzhichuan.

"Hey."

Yinzhichuan stopped behind Xihuai.

"What's the matter with you?"

The frank major general frowned, walked around to Xi Huai from behind, and looked at him: "Where have you been? I haven't said a word for so long."

The man in white raised his eyes and looked at him indifferently: "Is it related to you?"

"..."

Yin Zhichuan was simply baffled, this man wanted him to kiss him with tender eyes a few days ago on the bed, and even peeked at him in a daze from time to time.

what is this?Don't recognize people when you put on clothes? !

"Xi Huai, don't you think you've been weird recently?"

Yin Zhichuan thought about it: "Are you in a bad mood? What's the matter?...Your attitude towards me is also inconsistent, sometimes clingy and close, and sometimes cold as ice, what are you thinking about me?" What?"

"I'm thinking that Major General Yin is so coquettish that he can win the hearts of women from the south of the capital of the stars to the north of the capital of the stars."

Xi Huai said: "I'm not a person who likes to join in the fun by nature, so it's better to stay away."

"..."

Yinzhichuan was wronged too much, Xihuai's words made him completely confused.A lesson can be learned from the world, he used to be flirtatious, although he had a reputation of being frivolous and uninhibited, it was all because of his good talent.

He only needs to tidy up a little bit, put on a white robe and go to the Yanliu Alley a few more times, and the girls in the entire Starfield City can love and hate him-hate his light waves, love him for his suaveness.

Subjectively, Yin Zhichuan never deliberately wanted to make the girls toss and turn for him.

Xi Huai suddenly mentioned such a matter so inexplicably, it really made him completely puzzled.

"you……"

Young General Yin pondered for a moment, frowned and looked at Xi Huai tentatively, hesitantly said for a while: "Xi Huai, are you jealous?"

Xi Huai: "..."

The man in white didn't know what to say, he gave him a cold look, and then left without looking back.

Yin Zhichuan was still in a daze: "...what's going on."

In fact, the human heart is both complex and simple.

Even for a person like Xi Huai, it is inevitable that there will be times when he cannot get away from the vulgarity.

He came to him with the intention of taking advantage of Yin Zhichuan, but he found that the beating heart in his chest was losing his control more and more.

He didn't want to do this, he hated this feeling, so he would rather stay away from Yinzhichuan.

But Yinzhichuan didn't know all of this, he found that Xihuai had moved out his toiletries and clothes from Zhanyuan at night.

Send him back to his own garden.

"If the major general needs it, just ask the servants to order me to go there."

Xi Huai said softly, "It's better for us to separate."

Yin Zhichuan, who didn't know what was going on in Xihuai's inner world from the beginning to the end: "..."

What is this all about?

Gilded Palace, Jinghua Palace.

Countless palace people held their breaths and stood quietly outside.

The curtain hung with golden gauze is fluttering gently with the draft.

The heat is severe, and there is half a cup of sour plum soup in the white porcelain bowl on the small case.

A pair of delicate and pale hands supported Shen Yan's head, and slowly put him back on the soft bed.

When she was sober, Shen Yan could hardly see Chu Yuan for several months.Even if he waited outside the door for half a night, he might not be able to touch a corner of Chu Yuan's clothes.

Now that an unknown illness broke out, Chu Yuan stayed with him all day long.

The young king's face was pale, and there was a bruise on his forehead where he had fallen to the ground.The medical officer applied herbal medicine after using a cold towel to relieve the pain.

"Is there any other discomfort?"

Chu Yuan asked softly.

His fingers were cold and thin, and he pressed on the position of Shen Yan's temple when he scratched Shen Yan just now, making Shen Yan feel a cold touch there.

The new emperor shook his head, "It's much better."

After a pause, he added another sentence: "Xianyu, go and rest too.... When I woke up, I saw you by my side. Have you not closed your eyes for almost two days?"

The frail and thin snow-clothed man shook his head, indicating that it was okay.

But the body that has been lingering on the sick bed for a long time did not allow him to hold on. Just after responding to Shen Yan, a rusty smell of iron rose from Chu Yuan's throat. He covered his mouth, and slightly avoided a stuffy cough.

"I knew it."

Shen Yan watched the blushing cheeks of the snow-clothed man due to coughing, and patted the bed twice: "Come here! ——Send Young Pavilion Master back to rest, are you all dead? Waiting for me What, do you want Shaoge to take the initiative?!"

Chu Yuan coughed until his sleeves trembled, but he still managed to straighten up and signaled the eunuchs to back down:

"It's okay..." He said intermittently, "I'll take care of you."

Looking at his appearance, Shen Yan couldn't tell whether he was flattered or sad. He just looked at Chu Yuan silently for a long time, and then said:

"...I'm so happy."

"I can see you again. Chu Yuan... I thought that I would never have the chance to talk to you properly like this again in my life."

Chu Yuan remained indifferent, "Your Majesty is talking nonsense."

There is probably such a kind of close friend in this world. Even if you have been separated for a long time and cannot remember the last time you talked together, when you meet again, it seems that you have never been separated.

Just like all the estrangements and separations are just a dream, when you wake up from the dream, you are still in that intimate afternoon, leaning on each other to sleep under the tree, and then meeting to go to the back kitchen for dinner together.

Shen Yan's eyes seemed to be on Chu Yuan's body, looking at him reluctantly, as if he would disappear if he didn't look at him one more time.

"Your Majesty has lost weight."

Chu Yuan said again.

In fact, every time he saw Shen Yan, he would say this sentence, but in Shen Yan's eyes, he saw Chu Yuan the same way.

"Does the government affairs worry His Majesty?"

Chu Yuan asked softly: "If there is anything difficult to solve, why don't you tell me...Xianyu will do his best to share your majesty's worries."

As expected, this is the case.

However, Shen Yan thought in his heart, if he was really told that the capital of the stars and fields had gone upside down, maybe Chu Yuan would really bear all the guilt by himself, and Shen Yan would be relieved of his worries.

Both of them are people who think too much about each other.

"No."

Shen Yan managed to squeeze out a smile, and said with a slight smile: "It's just that sometimes I feel that I'm useless. As an emperor...but I can't protect the people with my own power, and I always do a lot of things that I don't want to do." .”

"When I was a child, I saw my father's licentiousness and pleasure, and I often swore that I would never be like this in the future. I am a fool and incompetent. I must do better than him."

Shen Yan leaned on the soft pillow, recalled Man Man, and said in a low voice: "But it wasn't until I actually sat in this position that I realized that being a king is the most difficult thing in the world. You must know how to restrain, know how to balance, and use grace and power at the same time." , you have to be ruthless... Even if you are only a successful king with no achievements and no faults, it is already quite enough."

"I think His Majesty has done a good job."

Chu Yuan said quietly.

"Thank you, Xianyu..."

Shen Yan smiled wryly and said: "If I am the only one left in this icy court, I probably won't be able to hold on."

"Why does Your Majesty want to go to Cangyun Palace?"

After going around and thinking for a long time, Chu Yuan still couldn't help asking.

In fact, he received the induction the moment Shen Yan passed out in Cangyun Palace.The stars of him and Shen Yan interact and restrict each other. Once something happens to Shen Yan, Chu Yuan is the first person to perceive it.

The Cangyun Palace had been abandoned for a long time, and Chu Yuan was afraid of attracting Shen Yan's attention, so he didn't make it closed.It's just that he didn't expect that there would be a day when he stumbled into it by mistake.

"It's nothing."

Shen Yan pondered and said: "I seemed to be thinking of something, so I stopped by... But after entering, I suddenly had a severe headache and passed out on the ground."

"Your Majesty, don't you remember anything?"

"what's up?"

Shen Yan frowned, as if he was trying to think hard, but after a long time he couldn't find a way out, instead his headache became more and more serious: "Ah... what did I go there for?"

He murmured: "Let me think about it... Ah, what is it...!"

However, once again, a situation similar to that in Cangyun Palace appeared.

Numerous messy and fragmented images flooded into his brain, as if countless familiar voices and faces flashed before his eyes, but they were all so fast that Shen Yan couldn't catch them at all.

"Xianyu...Xianyu."

Not knowing what to do, the new emperor groaned in pain. He tried his best to catch something, but he just reflexively chanted Chu Yuan's name——

"Give it to me, Xianyu..."

He murmured unconsciously, as if he didn't know what he was talking about, and seemed to be just repeating someone else's sentence: "Give me... I am much better than my father, I am much better than that old man!"

He yelled in pain, but Chu Yuan's face suddenly changed: "Shen Yan!"

But Shen Yan had obviously fallen into a state of madness, as if he was being haunted by something, and couldn't feel the cries from the outside world at all.

Chu Yuan tried his best to hold him down, but he couldn't withstand the struggle of Shen Yan who completely lost consciousness.He grabbed Chu Yuan's forearm with his hand, as if he wanted to do something according to instinct, Chu Yuan's face turned pale, and the things that happened in the past emerged from his mind again.

"Shen Yan, wake up, wake up...!"

The pale and frail stargazer was pressed tightly against the twitching young man, his forehead against his, and the bridges of their noses were wrong.Chu Yuan stared into Shen Yan's dull eyes, looked at him closely, and repeated:

"Wake up...it's just a dream, everything is over...you are just you, not anyone!...wake up, Shen Yan!!"

Shen Yan seemed to have sunk into an endless deep sea, and the endless dark sea surrounded him, making him unable to find a way out.

Chu Yuan's voice was far away, vaguely coming from a long distance, and he couldn't really hear it.

There was a mirror-like reflection in front of him, the water sparkled, and the person in that shadow looked exactly like him.

He also wears a luxurious dragon robe and a golden crown on his head...

It's just that he is different from Shen Yan's dignified and elegant expression, his face is full of evil thoughts and hostility.

He stared at the pained and dazed Shen Yan, with a smile on his lips:

"Is this how you lived for five years?"

Shen Yan didn't know what he meant, but the man continued:

"The king is really useless when he is on your side. A group of ministers and thieves dare to ride on your head."

"Why indulge them? Wouldn't it be good to pull them out one by one to see and kill them? The ears will be clean in one go."

"'Xianyu, Xianyu'," he tutted, "I've been talking about it for so many years, but I didn't get it for you?... He looks so pretty when he cries, but you can't see it."

Shen Yan obviously felt that the person in the water was his own reflection, but for some reason, he had the illusion that they were supposed to be one.

Like the baby's twin, he is Shen Yan, and Shen Yan is him.

"You were born to destroy Sheng Yang, why suppress yourself?"

When the man smiled, it was clearly the same face, but when he raised the corners of his lips, there was a chilling sense of impermanence, as if no one would be surprised if he did any cruel things.

"Give me this shell..."

He said to Shen Yan: "You live so irritatingly. I will teach you to do some carefree things."

The familiar tone seems to be the two closest brothers in the world discussing, and the low voice is like the devil's language.

Shen Yan subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he could still hear the distant voice of Chu Yuan calling him.

But the figure had already stretched out his hand from the water, grabbed him, and sank into the water together...

"Keep an eye on Your Majesty at all times."

In the gold-plated hall, the pale stargazer straightened up exhaustedly.

His forehead was already covered with cold sweat in a short period of time, and Shen Yan had pinched two deep red marks on his white forearm.

Chu Yuan tried his best to summon Shen Yan's mind, but the young emperor was still asleep.

His long ink-like eyebrows were tightly knit together, obviously experiencing a nightmare.

Since discovering this secret five years ago, Chu Yuan has been worried that it will happen again one day.

——Who would have thought that the successor of the entire Shengyang, the next owner of the throne of the emperor, would actually be the one who would lead the entire country to destruction...!

It's not that he can't see it.

Chu Yuan thought, as early as the night when Shen Yan lost control of his personality on the other side and had a physical relationship with him, he saw Shen Yan's fate.

He is the seven kills among the three stars of subjugation, and he is born to be the king of subjugation.

God sent him to this world just to let him finish this country.

Chu Yuan thought painfully, but how could it be possible?

When Shen Yan was not out of control, he was such a gentle and humble person. He even managed to endure the humiliation for 19 years that all princes could not do.

He grew up under the control of the selfish and powerful queen, enduring humiliation, humility and gentleness.Like a pine tree growing from a hard rocky cliff, the world treats him indifferently, but he does not treat the world indifferently.

In order to be a good king, he helped Sheng Yang who was on the verge of falling, and he had endured so much, why did he let him be illuminated by the Seven Killing Stars?

So Chu Yuan hid this secret for him, and took the blame for him.When everyone asked who broke his "cross cinnabar seal", Chu Yuan would rather be burned at the stake than to say Shen Yan's name.

No one in this world knows who that person is, including Shen Yan herself.

In addition, Chu Yuan also cast spells in Cangyun Palace to suppress his anger and change the original trajectory of Xingxiu.

He is the "scabbard" of Shen Yan's loss of control.

"Stay by Your Majesty's side at all times."

After a long time, Chu Yuan took a deep breath and stood up from the soft side.

He had to push the astrolabe again to see if the dark star that he had sealed for five years was still in its original position—even though Chu Yuan was not sure that he could control it as he did the first time.

... In the past five years, he has weakened too much.

"Once there is any abnormality, you must immediately, immediately, tell, tell, me."

The stargazer who was once famous in Zhonglu and can be called the destiny of the country emphasized every word, the expression on his face was a coldness that the palace people had never seen before.

"Yes……"

Gong E replied, but before they looked up, Chu Yuan staggered slightly and walked towards the door.

He attached so much importance to the heresy shown by Shen Yan that he was so anxious that he was afraid of wasting a second.

But still a few days later, a seven-kill star wheel turned to the middle of the night in the main palace——

A decree came from the Gilded Temple:

Reported by the memorial, Guanxing Pavilion said that Jin was suspected of being one of the three stars of the subjugated country, so he was sent to the bottom prison and asked to be executed at a certain date.
