I see the snow

When Chu Yuan heard the news, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky.

However, the officials who came to proclaim the decree spoke convincingly, and even showed evidence and the handwritten order written by Shen Yan himself.

"...This is a genuine imperial decree."

There was an indescribable sarcasm in the official's tone, and when he looked at Chu Yuan, he seemed to be sympathetic: "Young Pavilion Master, if you have any opinions, go and meet the Holy Majesty."

——From their point of view, this seemed to be some kind of signal, a signal that Chu Yuan was about to fall out of favor.

The so-called "don't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face", in the past, because of Shen Yan's doting on Chu Yuan, even the courtiers who came out of Qiu Xiatai were higher than those in other palaces.

Now, sending Chu Yuan's only disciple to prison is not a kind of insinuation and hint.

Chu Yuan pinched his sleeves tightly with his fingers. Because of calculating the stars for days, his face was as pale as paper and his body was quite weak.

Just talking to the officials with such a little emotional ups and downs, I couldn't help covering my sleeves and coughing.

but……

How can it be?

Chu Yuan thought in his heart that there are only three people in the three-star country.

Shen Yan is the Seven Killers, Po Jun should be Yinzhichuan, as for Tanlang, that star has been observed by Chu Yuan a long time ago——

That was about ten years ago, when Chu Yuan first introduced the stars that would affect the fate of the country, and it was also the beginning of his fame in the Eastern Continent.

At that time, the late emperor was overjoyed, and immediately made Chu Yuan the young master of Guanxing Pavilion, and with the force of thunder, wiped out the seed of subjugation in the bud.

Later, Chu Yuan observed the stars again, and indeed he couldn't find that star anymore.

But now that all the subjugated stars have been identified, what does it have to do with Yan Jin?

"...You are not allowed to touch him."

Chu Yuan stood in front of Yan Jin with a cold face, and said each word coldly.

"I...cough to meet the Holy Majesty immediately, and before that, no one is allowed to take away a single person from the altar."

Lingering on the sick bed for a long time, this stargazer who was once listed as the "Five Ministers of the Bright Moon" together with Gong Ziyin, Yin Zhichuan, Gu Xuedu, etc. has become extremely thin, and even the wrists in his sleeves are extremely lonely.

But when he stood in front of everyone and said these words in a cold voice, none of the tall officials and guards dared to take a step forward——

After all, he is the famous "Master Mingyue" in Zhonglu...

No one knew what would happen if they offended this seemingly weak snow-clothed man.

"Yan Jin."

However, before leaving, Chu Yuan also turned his head to look at himself, this little disciple who was also not a good stubble.

He softened his tone, almost as if to appease, and said softly: "Don't do impulsive things, go back to the room and take Jiujiu with you, you know?"

The young man's expression was gloomy and unruly, and a fiery little fox wrapped around his feet, rubbing against him affectionately.

Chu Yuan touched the little fox's fur, then stood on tiptoe and nodded on Yan Jin's forehead:

"Wait well for me to come back."

Yan Jin gave the official a hard look, then withdrew his sword-like gaze, lowered his eyelids, and gave a low "hmm".

……

Shen Yan is still staying in the Gilded Palace, and it has been about six or seven days since Chu Yuan left last time.

"His Majesty is resting..."

A palace guard outside said in a low voice: "Shaoge mainly doesn't come back another day..."

Chu Yuan paused: "Are you still asleep?...Then I'll wait here, I have something urgent."

"—Is it Xianyu?"

However, at this moment, a low voice came from the room.

The palace servant was taken aback, and immediately went into the room with Chu Yuan: "You are already awake, Your Majesty."

"Yes."

Shen Yan's voice was a little hoarse, but she had already sat up, half leaning on the bed, with a soft pillow behind her.

He wore a dark-pattern jacket over his shoulders, and his face still looked not very good, but there was a slight smile on his lips, and he had returned to his previous friendly and gentle state.

Shen Yan held a few folded papers in his hand, looked at Chu Yuan with a slight smile, and said, "Recently, I feel much better...After resting for a few days, I have piled up a lot of papers without reading them, so when I am in good spirits, I will Turn it over..."

"——Xianyu, just now I heard you say that you have something to do outside, what is it?"

Chu Yuan has been observing Shen Yan's expression since he came in, but seeing that his expression is as usual, there is no difference compared with the past.

I couldn't help but feel a little strange in my heart.

"Yes……"

He considered it carefully and said, "There are some things I would like to discuss with His Majesty alone."

"it is good."

Shen Yan clenched his hands into fists, coughed a few times in a muffled manner, and then ordered Gong'e: "Prepare Pingchen tea for the young pavilion master, and then everyone should leave."

Gong'e bowed her head in response, and soon there were only Chu Yuan and Shen Yan left in the room.

"Xianyu..."

Shen Yan looked at Chu Yuan carefully, then smiled, and said suddenly, "Are you here for Yan Jin from Guanxing Pavilion?"

"Your Majesty knows?"

Chu Yuan looked solemn, and asked seriously: "I want to know why...the reason why he is said to be 'Slaying Wolf' three stars."

"Xianyu should take a look at this first."

The young emperor took out a few notebooks from the case, threw them in front of Chu Yuan, and said flatly, "It was all submitted by the officials below."

It was not the first time for Chu Yuan to read the scriptures given to Shen Yan by the officials.

He hesitated for a moment, then turned it over.

"The rule in the palace is to go out of the palace up to four times a month, and report to the Ministry of Internal Affairs where they have gone."

Shen Yan said softly: "But your little apprentice goes out of the palace dozens of times a month, and he never tells the truth about his whereabouts in the report."

Chu Yuan flipped through the memorial, and didn't know who submitted it, but he saw that it described in detail Yan Jin's frequent trips out of the palace against the rules, and pointed out that he had passed by the Flower and Bird Market on Xuanwu Avenue several times.

"You may not know..."

Shen Yan was silent for a while, and said selectively: "Recently, some things have happened in the capital of stars and fields. There are many poisonous substances that come out from nowhere, biting the people... According to the investigation, snakes, scorpions and poisonous substances appeared first." The most frequent place is also the Flower and Bird Market there. The time also coincides with the days when Yan Jin frequently went out of the palace..."

"He did it to buy me breakfast."

But Chu Yuan closed the booklet, and said with a solemn expression: "Every time Jin'er gets up early and leaves the palace, it's just to buy me some delicious snacks outside the palace."

"Then why does he pass by the Flower and Bird Market every time?"

Shen Yan asked back: "Is there any special reason why he has to pass by there every time? Is there a spot in advance?...Xianyu, there are some things I don't want to tell you."

He paused for a moment before continuing: "But do you know that... Yan Jin has expressed dissatisfaction with the court many times in private, and not long ago, someone even heard him say 'Sheng Yang should perish'...! "

"With such a rebellious idea and such suspicious behavior, is it too much to detain him for investigation?"

"..."

"Besides."

Shen Yan stared at Chu Yuan, and said for a long while: "In the ritual ceremony hall earlier, divination revealed the hiding places of the three stars of the subjugated country... One of them is the Guanxing Pavilion."

Chu Yuan's pupils suddenly tightened.

"I also suspect that maybe the Mo family's party is playing tricks. But..."

The new emperor, who was still ill, sighed softly, "Zhen, after all, we need to do something to stop the people from all over the world. If Yan Jin has a rebellious nature, it's not a bad idea to save the entire Guanxing Pavilion except him alone. A good plan. Xianyu... I am the emperor, but don't make it too difficult for me, okay?"

Chu Yuan did not speak for a long time.

His black and quiet pupils reflected Shen Yan's reflection, and in the black and luxurious dragon robe, Shen Yan's palms were clenched tightly, silently covered with a thin layer of sweat.

"I understand what His Majesty said."

After a long time, Chu Yuan said softly. "Your Majesty wants to kill one person to sacrifice the flag and calm the mouths of everyone, so as to keep Guanxing Pavilion... that is to say, to keep me, right?"

Shen Yan's throat rolled very slowly.

"But," the pale snow-clothed man chuckled, "I can't, and I can't allow, to take Jin'er's life to protect myself."

Shen Yan said: "So...?"

He couldn't help arguing: "Xianyu, at this point, there is no other way—unless you can figure out who the real Three Star Killing Wolf is!...But, can you?"

A sly smile flashed in the eyes of the seemingly serious emperor.

It's a pity that Chu Yuan didn't notice, he just shook his head: "Your Majesty, you can't..."

"If I ask Jin'er why he frequently goes to the Flower and Bird Market on Xuanwu Street, you will be willing to let him go, won't you?"

Shen Yan didn't say anything, just looked at Chu Yuan in silence.

The two of them stared at each other, and neither of them backed down. They fought hand-to-hand with completely opposite attitudes in the silence.

After a long time, finally Shen Yan was defeated first, he sighed and said:

"Okay, as long as you ask him why he coincidentally appears frequently in poisonous places, I will let him live."

"Yes."

Chu Yuan sighed slightly and said.

Then, the two talked for a while in the room.

Chu Yuan peeled a Changning peach for Shen Yan, and Shen Yan's gaze fell on his hand.

"What are Xianyu busy in the next few days...?"

Quiet, Shen Yan asked.

The stargazer in Xueyi paused with his fingers: "It's in the Stargazing Pavilion."

"... Your Majesty's headache, is it better?"

Shen Yan's gaze kept moving up from his thin and lonely wrist, until it stopped at the delicate collarbone and neck.

As if he was remembering something, he unconsciously touched his chin with his fingers, and licked his lips slightly with his tongue.

"It's much better."

The young emperor said with a smile, an indistinct glint flashed in his eyes, he straightened up, and asked Chu Yuan seemingly frankly: "What does Xianyu think? Is it the same as before?"

Chu Yuan raised his eyes, and then looked away from the white peach in his hand.

He stared at Shen Yan, Shen Yan's position at this time was against the light under the window.

He was wearing a dark black robe, with gold thread on the sleeves and neckline, looking infinitely luxurious, noble and honorable.

... It was just because of the backlight that Chu Yuan couldn't see his expression clearly.So much so that for a moment, the pale stargazer vaguely saw the evilness of evil taste on this face.

"Xianyu?"

But that was only for a moment, Shen Yan quickly leaned forward a little, leaving the shadow under the window.

He stretched out his hand in front of Chu Yuan, and waved his hand in front of Chu Yuan.

His expression was as gentle and elegant as ever. Although he was a prince, he didn't show hostility or ruthlessness at all. Instead, he looked like a gentle and jade-like son of an aristocratic family.

graceful.

"Ah."

Chu Yuan slowly came back to his senses and looked away.

"Is there something wrong with you?"

The young king's face was full of concern, and he asked worriedly: "I think you look very bad."

"No."

Chu Yuan replied in a low voice: "Thank you for your majesty's concern. Seeing your majesty, Xianyu is much cleaner than before, and needs to be carefully raised."

"Is there anything else besides this?"

Shen Yan curled her lips and asked him.

Chu Yuan thought about it carefully, and thought, "Not anymore."

In the past few days, he calculated the stars day and night, and found that the seven kills that he sealed seemed to be still in place.There was no sign of leaving the palace.

So... maybe I was worrying too much.

It's just that we need to reduce the number of times we see Shen Yan in the future, and prevent him from going to Cangyun Palace again.

So as not to irritate him again.

"That's good."

Shen Yan smiled lowly, and slowly raised the tip of her eyes like a demon.

He took the Changning peach that Chu Yuan handed over, but he didn't let go.Instead, staring at those thin and slender snow wrists, he sighed softly for no reason or meaning:

"Chu Yuan...I, miss you so much."

"..."

Chu Yuan's eyelids twitched slightly, but soon after, Shen Yan raised his head again, looked at him, and said with a smile that was no different from usual:

"So in the future...you should come and see me more."

"……Yes."

"Okay, I'm tired."

Shen Yan said: "Isn't Xianyu tired too? Why don't you go back and have a good rest, and then come and have a good talk with me when you have time."

"Ah."

Chu Yuan stood up, and before leaving, he arranged the snacks on the bedside table for Shen Yan, filled up the medicinal soup and tea, and then left.

"Chu Yuan...Xian Yu."

Shen Yan lay on the bed with her eyes closed.He didn't open his eyes slowly from his doze until he heard the sound of Chu Yuan pushing aside the bead curtain and leaving.

He murmured the name in an indescribably weird tone, and after a while, he suddenly smiled.

"Chu Yuan...Xianyu. Ha."

"I... really miss you."

The weird emperor wrapped his fingers playfully around the silk ribbon on his sleeve, and said softly, "I'm so envious...!"
