"Tell me, why did he suddenly give up his heart and give up his love?" Ren Zexuan still couldn't understand Jing Chen's thoughts. He remembered that when Jing Chen told himself that he hadn't poisoned Concubine Li, there was still love in his eyes, but ...

It seems that later, after drinking that bowl of soup, his attitude changed.

"I don't want to die in this dirty place."

That person feels dirty, is it the person, or the environment?

"I'm afraid, what the emperor has done to the third son these years... the first two years after the third son entered the palace, the third son was quite cheerful, but after that..." Cao Shun knew that today was a violation of the rules, but he looked at Jing Chen from the beginning. From the cheerfulness at the beginning, to the reticence later, to the self-confidence now, he has to say that the third son who left the palace is so chic and admirable.

"Are you blaming me?"

"I don't dare." Cao Shun said hastily, "If the emperor can see the third son now, he will definitely feel like a slave."

"You mean, he seems to be better off after leaving me?" Ren Zexuan snorted coldly.

Cao Shun didn't dare to speak.

In fact, anyone who has seen Jing Chen's changes, seeing the current Jing Chen, will give a positive answer to Ren Zexuan's answer.

"Let the hidden guards watch Jingfu, I want to see how he is happy."

Some people always think that they are the only one for others, but in fact, it does not mean that others cannot live without him.

This is what Jing Xue told Jing Chen. Jing Chen didn't understand it before, but now he deeply understands it.

In fact, his second brother knew a lot of things, but he was blinded at the time and couldn't listen to anything, but now, he thinks what his second brother said makes sense.

Even though Ren Zexuan didn't believe how happy Jing Chen would be after leaving the palace, the report sent back by the secret guard was in front of his eyes, which made him feel powerless.

He still misses that person, but that person really doesn't care about him anymore.

He didn't expect that person to be so heartless, he really did what he said, if he said he didn't love her anymore, then he would go in a cool way.

The dark guard watched Jingchen go in and out of the teahouse every day, talking about the past and the present with the literati. He is now 25 years old. When others were this age, he was already the father of several children, but he delayed his marriage because of "being sick for many years". Fortunately, he has a fiancée who "wouldn't have married unless he hadn't". When everyone heard about this, they all praised Jing Chen for his good fortune, and asked him every day when he would look for his "fiancée".

Whenever asked by them, Jing Chen's face turned reddish first, and then he hesitated to answer.

This surprised everyone, they thought maybe it was not only the fiancée who guarded herself like a jade, but this little son has become a big son, but he still doesn't know what sex is like, and when he asked about his in-laws, he immediately blushed.

Jing Chen changed the topic amidst the banter among the crowd, making everyone laugh.

The imperial palace that Jing Chen left in the beginning of autumn is now in the cold winter season. Apart from going in and out of the teahouse, he also occasionally practices martial arts at home, and his life is quite fulfilling.

Occasionally, he still receives letters from Jun Shaoqian. It is hard to imagine that such an indifferent person would write to him. The paintings are all made at will, and Jing Chen also likes the scenery according to the scenery.

Occasionally, that person would write a little about the cultural customs of Fenglin as he pleases, which can be regarded as letting Jingchen know about Fenglin's customs in advance.

Jing Chen felt that if someone wrote to him kindly, telling him about Fenglin's culture and customs, would it be a little rude if he didn't reply?

After all, Jun Shaoqian had a good intention, so he thought about it, and when he received the letter, he took up a pen to reply. What was written in the letter was his exchange experience with a group of literati, and it was also a description of his life these days. I bought some and sent them over.

After all, although Jun Shaoqian is from Fenglin, he often comes here because of a master who stays in Moyuan. It is estimated that he is very familiar with the customs of Moyuan.

In the cold winter of the twelfth lunar month, Jing Chen spends his life in teahouses and Jingfu. Sometimes it is pleasant to look at the beautiful scenery of Fenglin described by Jun Shaoqian in his letter. Inexhaustible, it seems that at a time he doesn't know, he likes to share his happiness with Jun Shaoqian very much.

Occasionally, when the younger nephews didn't need to go to school, he would teach the children martial arts, or exchange knowledge with them.

Sometimes I have to admit that although children's ideas are mostly childish, they are still interesting. If you look deeper, you will find that these childish ideas are not all useless.

Now even Jing Zhong said that of the two children, the eldest has inherited his father's temperament, and the second has learned the habits of his second uncle, but this learning has followed the wisdom of their third uncle.

Jing Chen also likes these two nephews. They are talented and extremely sensible. His elder brother is also a steady person, but he treats the children a little bit spoiled. Will not be domineering because of it.

The dark guard wrote all Jingchen's work and rest habits these days into letters and sent them to Huijing. Ren Zexuan's face became darker and darker as he looked at those letters.

But those letters were well preserved by him.

It was the fourth month since Jing Chen left, and he stepped into the palace where Jing Chen lived before for the first time.

With the departure of the owner, the place became cold and deserted. In fact, it was not busy even when the owner was there.

There were not many maids in the palace, and after Jing Chen left, he was transferred to another place. Five months was neither too long nor too short, but it made this place covered with ashes.

Cao Shun said that Jing Chen took nothing with him when he left.

But now when I entered here, it was empty, only a few precious vases were left, but there were no flower branches to decorate.

There used to be many famous paintings hanging here, but unfortunately they can't be seen now.

The tea sets when Jing Chen was still there were also put away by the maids after he left. The palace looked very empty, and it didn't look like it had been inhabited five months ago.

"What's going on?" Ren Zexuan was angry when he saw the empty palace.

Even though he rarely came to see him these years, he was sure that no one would dare to owe Jing Chen, otherwise, the imperial concubine who had not been cured of her madness so far would be a lesson for them.

"Your Majesty, before the young master left, he burned everything that could be burned." Cao Shun said softly, he was not there when the young master burned those things, and he only found out about it later.

"It is said that he just took away some changed clothes, and the rest...whether it was rewarded by the emperor or given by the concubine, they were all burned, and those calligraphy and paintings... I guess it was the same."

He thought, the young master must have given up his heart at that time, completely, otherwise he wouldn't be so cruel. Which of the burned things hadn't been the young master's favorite treasure?

It's a pity that the young master likes these things because of the emperor. Without feelings, those things will be burned as soon as they are said.

He used to be really cold because the emperor treated the young master like this, but now, after seeing the young master's determination, and after talking with the young master some time ago, he realized that the third young master Jing may not be affectionate.

Jing Chen was very knowledgeable. When he entered the palace, Ren Zexuan specially found a famous painting and gave it to him. He also sat on the desk with Jing Chen, held his hand, and wrote some calligraphy and paintings. hung up.

Every time I come here, I always feel that the palace is full of elegance.

Later, he alienated Jing Chen, and Jing Chen never took down these calligraphy and paintings.

It is estimated that one is because he himself likes these things very much, and the other is because Jing Chen thinks about others when he sees things.

But now... the palace is empty, nothing is there.

"Burn it?" Ren Zexuan murmured softly, "He actually burned all these things."

Seeing Ren Zexuan's expression, Cao Shun bowed his head and retreated.

Ren Zexuan sat down, there was a little dust on the chair, but he didn't care at all.

But after sitting here for a long time, I still feel clear and cold. The man has only been away for five months, and this palace seems to have been abandoned for five years. It feels... boring and panicky.

He didn't sit for long, and quickly got up and left.

This palace...has no trace of that person ever existed.
