dim lights

The north wind howled, and Chang'an was covered with snow.

A carriage drove into Kyoto from the wasteland.

It's already night, the city gate has long been closed, and the guards guarding the city are patrolling this majestic city back and forth, and the sharp armor is silently proclaiming in the dark night that anyone who tries to approach it at night will be severely punished .

"Just stop by the city gate." A man's voice came from the carriage.The driver of the carriage had never carried such a desperate owner before, but he didn't dare to raise any doubts in front of this generous owner. As soon as the carriage stopped outside the city gate, he collected the money and left quickly.

Qi Shiyu got off the carriage and stood outside the closed city gate. Snowflakes soon fell all over his head and shoulders, as if Zhu Yan had given birth to gorgeous hair, and his brocade clothes were added with fox fur.

The city guards have been on duty for several years, and this is the first time I have seen someone who dared to break into the city gate at night.

The guards immediately set up their bows and arrows calmly, and two of them walked to the city wall, lit torches and shouted loudly towards the downstairs: "Who dares to enter the capital at night?!"

Qi Shiyu shook the broken snow off his body, and took out a small seal from his bosom, which Yu Hanyi asked him to take with him when he left.Maybe it was because he really liked him, Yu Hanyi knew Qi Shiyu better than anyone else in the world, he had already guessed that no matter the reason, he would come back one day.

Qi Shiyu raised the hand holding the seal above his head, the light of the torch shone on it, and the metallic luster was particularly conspicuous in the vast expanse of whiteness.

"Let Gao Huan come to see me." Facing countless arrows pointed at him, Qi Shiyu stood in the center of the guards' field of vision and said calmly.

When he slightly raised his head to look at the city tower, he carried a kind of coercion belonging to the superior, as if the easy-going and down-and-out man in southern Xinjiang was just an unreal phantom, and King Xuan, who used to play with all the officials in the government and the field, never really left Pass.

Qi Shiyu's performance really bluffed the guards, the people on the tower did not dare to neglect at all, after reporting to the captain, they immediately opened the city gate to welcome him in, took Xiaoyin and walked into the palace.

Qi Shiyu carried the unconscious Shen Tingyun out of the carriage, and found a place beside the tower for him to lean into his arms.

Gao Huan was on duty tonight, and when he saw the concubine Qi's seal brought by the guard, he almost thought it was because the light was too dark at night and he misread something.

However, the handwriting engraved stroke by stroke on the small copper seal will not change no matter how many times it is confirmed.

It's Qi Shiyu...

How dare he come back?

Gao Huan went directly to the city gate without telling Yu Hanyi.

Qi Shiyu sat on the stairs of the tower, holding Shen Tingyun in his arms, whispering these words.The guards didn't know his origin, so they didn't dare to approach him, they stood on one side and watched his every move.

"Tingyun, we're back. I know you don't want to come back, but in order to cure you, we have to come back." Qi Shiyu put on a cloak for Shen Tingyun, "If it can't be cured, we have to come back." Go immediately, go to Annan or Mobei, find a better place, and walk together quietly."

Like an affectionate lover, he is considerate and shelters his lover from the wind and cold.

Gao Huan looked coldly at the two people who were snuggling together.

The man in Qi Shiyu's arms, he had seen before, was the man in the dragon robe who fell to the ground covered in blood when he went to the imperial mausoleum with His Majesty to quell the chaos.Although his appearance was slightly different from that of the past, Gao Huan knew that he must be the man who died in the imperial tomb.

Well, he was still alive.

The rebellious officials and thieves back then were all alive and well.

Gao Huan put his finger on the hilt of the saber.

His Majesty, without the lead and restraint, is a soft-hearted person, but as a hound at His Majesty's feet, Gao Huan must have fangs.

Back then, he really wanted to kill Qi Shiyu, but he was afraid that His Majesty would be sad, so he didn't do it in the end.

But now that His Majesty already has someone he loves more, whether Qi Shiyu is dead or alive, it will not affect too much.If he killed the two of them here, all traces would be buried by heavy snow overnight, and people would still come and go on the city tower tomorrow, and no one would know about a trivial episode at midnight.

Qi Shiyu noticed Gao Huan and the sword he was holding in his hand, instantly restrained his affectionate appearance, and said in a cold voice: "Master Gao, it's been a long time. Have you never thought that you will see me again in this life?" ?”

Gao Huan stroked the edge of the sword with the hand that was not holding the sword, and nodded towards Qi Shiyu: "That's right. And I'm thinking, if I kill you now, won't His Majesty know about it?"

Qi Shiyu sneered.

"Do you think that His Majesty will really let me leave the capital alone? When my carriage set foot on Gyeonggi-do, someone might have already told him everything." Qi Shiyu blocked Shen Tingyun's face , tidied up the cloak for him, then hugged him tightly in his arms, and then continued to talk to Gao Huan, "Why don't you take a bet, Mr. Gao, if you did something tonight, will His Majesty send you into the palace for questioning tomorrow morning. "

Gao Huan smiled: "It's just a traitor, you don't really think His Majesty will do anything to me because of you, do you?" He likes his subordinates to disobey his orders.

"Rebellious officials and thieves?" Qi Shiyu looked at Gao Huan sharply with his eyes, and shouted loudly, "Master Gao, don't you remember, all the people in those days have obeyed the law, your majesty's golden words, there must be no one who deceives the king and hides it His Majesty's eyes?"

Gao Huan raised his sword and gestured towards Qi Shiyu. He really wanted to kill him, but the question of whether he should be loyal to the country or to the king was hanging there, which made him hesitate to do it.

In the end, he didn't have time to really do it, because someone came out of the palace again.

Anything that happened in the capital could not be hidden from the little emperor.

The person who came this time was Yue Yao, Yu Hanyi's confidant.

Yue Yao didn't seem to have seen Gao Huan's sword edge, she just smiled and said to Gao Huan, Commander Gao, then crossed the long sword between the two, walked straight to Qi Shiyu, saluted briefly, and then Said: "You two have come a long way, Your Majesty ordered you to go to the palace with your servants to rest first, and His Majesty will naturally bring the two people you want to see to meet tomorrow morning."

Qi Shiyu was completely relieved, and Yue Yao appeared, indicating that Yu Hanyi was willing to rescue Shen Tingyun.Although it is uncertain whether Shen Tingyun will wake up, at least there is hope.

But who is the person Yue Yao wants to meet?

Qi Shiyu didn't have time to ask more questions, and Yue Yao didn't look like he was going to answer his question. He sent Qi Shiyu and the unconscious Shen Tingyun to the carriage, and then didn't say a word.

The carriage entered the palace all the way and stopped at a familiar place.

In the snowy night, the plaque in the palace was not clearly visible, but Qi Shiyu had lived here for a whole year, and he knew exactly what it was just by looking at it.

Qi Shiyu helped the unconscious Shen Tingyun, and stepped into the Jinyue Pavilion again.

In winter, the courtyard is covered with snow, and the lanterns hanging under the corridor illuminate the vestibule. The ground is white, like gardenia petals crushed in the ground.

Qi Shiyu hugged Shen Tingyun to the couch, and fell asleep next to him.

"I never thought that there would be a day when I could come back here again." Qi Shiyu tightly held Shen Tingyun's warm hand and intertwined his fingers, because only in this way can he feel that the other party is still alive in the world , can sleep a little more peacefully.

When he stepped into the Golden Moon Pavilion for the first time, although he was imprisoned in the palace by the little emperor, he was able to handle it with ease, and he still didn't forget to tease the little guard who took the risk to save him.The second time, he personally killed the person he loved but didn't dare to admit, all hope was lost, he tried many ways to die, but was stopped by Yu Hanyi again and again.

However, three or five years have passed, and it seems like two lives.

Qi Shiyu got up, touched the back of Shen Tingyun's ear, leaned over and kissed him.

Shen Tingyun's aura made him extremely at ease, he did not recognize others as him, and he would never make the same ridiculous mistakes as before.

"Tingyun, what are you going to do when you wake up?" Qi Shiyu lightly touched Shen Tingyun's fingertips, muttering, "Will you forgive me? Will you give me another chance? I I don't even dare to guess. I have nothing now, and I can see you again. I really feel very lucky. Thinking about it this way, whether you want to accept me or not doesn't seem to be a big deal. "
