The vicious supporting actor wants to be a good guy

On the second day, when all preparations were made for the sacrificial ceremony, Li Yu followed Shen Haoran to Longning Sacrifice.

Long Ningsi is Dongyao Shen's Imperial Mausoleum, which is some distance away from the capital. Even if the carriages drive non-stop, it will take a day and a night to get there.

In order not to let others find out, Li Yu changed into a light and simple outfit, and put on a human skin mask. His clothes were so plain that at first glance, he thought he was the second prince's new entourage.

There was no one else in this sacrifice, only Shen Haoran's team accompanied him. Along the way, the white snow scene, the cold wind blowing into the carriage through the curtain, and sprinkling snow from time to time.

"hiss……"

Li Yu couldn't help wrapping his clothes tightly around his body.

Shen Haoran who was beside him saw that he seemed a little cold, so he pulled him into his arms slightly, and covered his shoulders with the fox velvet cape he was wearing.

The warmth came through the clothes, it was a reassuring temperature.

"Is it still cold?"

Li Yu shook his head with a smile, leaned on his shoulder, closed his eyes and took a nap.

Looking at the person in his arms, Shen Haoran smiled slightly, resting his forehead lightly against his head, and closed his eyes to rest his mind.

After the carriage traveled all day, it finally arrived at Longningsi.

The style of architecture of Long Ningsi is very similar to that of Li's Ancestral Hall, but it is obviously different, and it reveals the unique glory of the royal family everywhere.

The sacrificial crowd was busy, but orderly.

The original work did not focus on describing this chapter, Li Yu only remembered that on the night after the complicated sacrifices, Shen Haoran was alone, standing under the old tree next to the Longning sacrifice, and stayed quietly for the whole night in the cold wind.

When I think of that scene, I can't help feeling distressed.

——But now, this person has me by his side, so he will no longer show such a lonely expression.

The sacrifice was going on normally, the scene was solemn and majestic, and the atmosphere was overwhelming. There was no sound around, only the gentle voice of the monks calmly chanting.

Li Yu knelt in front of the futon silently, paying attention to the reactions of the people around him out of the corner of his eyes, and saw Shen Haoran listening to the chanting silently with his eyes closed.

With a beautiful side face, the sunlight outlines the bright outline, with the eyes closed, the eyes that are as clear as a pool of water cannot be seen.

I don't know what he is thinking now, whether he will think of those old things in the past.

Thinking of this, Li Yu quietly stretched out his hand to hold his right hand on his knee.

Sensing this tiny movement, Shen Haoran slowly opened his eyes, looked at Li Yu beside him, saw his worried face, and couldn't help responding with a gentle smile.

The sacrifice lasted for a day and a night. Li Yu had never knelt for such a long time before, his knees were numb, and it was hard for everyone to disperse after the chanting was over.

He wanted to get up, but he couldn't stand up because of numbness in his legs, so he could only pull Shen Haoran beside him, struggling to get up.

I always feel like a koala right now.

"Hiss..." His feet were so numb that he lost consciousness, and it was difficult to even walk two steps.

Shen Haoran gently lifted him up, "Are you all right?"

"It's okay, just a little numbness in the feet." Li Yu supported Shen Haoran's hand, seeing the relaxed faces of the people beside him, he couldn't help feeling puzzled.

It's really strange, Shen Haoran obviously knelt for so long, but he didn't seem to be in any serious trouble.

After chanting, it didn't end so quickly. The sacrifice lasted until it was getting late, and finally ended.

Leaving from the oppressive hall, the two of them walked on the cobblestone-paved tree-lined path, and finally felt a sigh of relief and eased their mood.

Today's night sky is clearer than usual, and there is no thick cloud cover. You can see the bright moonlight and stars reflected on the snow scene, which is so beautiful that it makes people tremble.

Shen Haoran stared at the moonlight with fascination, his eyes shining like a clear pool.

He stretched out his hand towards Li Yu, and said with a smile, "I have a place I want to go."

Guessing where he wanted to go, Li Yu took his hand without hesitation and let him lead him through the alley to an ancient tree.

The ancient tree stood towering, with dark green and lush leaves, covered with pure white snow, like a weather-beaten old man standing under the moonlight.

The trunk of the tree is so strong that even several people can't hug it together.

Even more amazing than the original description, Li Yu raised his head, looked at the top of the tree covered in snow, and asked softly.

"This ancient tree... how old is it?"

"I don't know." Shen Haoran shook his head and said slowly, "Since childhood, this tree has looked like this."

Let alone...it has been hundreds of years, right?

"The queen mother likes this tree very much. She said that everything has a soul, and all souls have a heart. And this tree is like her friend."

Saying that, Shen Haoran couldn't help chuckling, "What else, if possible, I want to possess a spirit on this tree, so that I can use the body of the ancient tree to nourish my own spirit, protect me, and accompany me for the rest of my life .”

Fingertips gently stroked the trunk, touching the mottled bark on it.

Li Yu paused, then nodded slightly, "It's pretty good."

The former queen was also a gentle person.

Shen Haoran smiled, looked at Li Yu, and spoke softly.

"So every time I come, I will definitely come to see this ancient tree and look at it, just like looking at the queen mother."

Li Yu looked at him, put his eyes on Gu Shu again, couldn't help but took a deep breath, and spoke with determination.

"My lady, good night."

Shen Haoran was startled, as if he didn't understand the meaning of Li Yu's words.

Li Yu stepped forward and saluted the ancient tree generously.

"My name is Li Yu, and I am... the eldest son of the Prime Minister's Mansion."

Immediately afterwards, he smiled and squeezed Shen Haoran's hand tightly.

"Although I don't know if you can hear it, Haoran is doing very well now... Don't worry, I will always be by his side from now on, for the rest of his life, and I will never leave him."

Can your regret of not being able to be with him all the time fade away?

"—So, please leave him to me."

Seeing Li Yu say these words in a sincere tone, Shen Haoran was stunned for a long time, then smiled lightly, slowly lifted the hands that were clasped with each other, and pressed them to the tree, his tone was more tender than before.

"Well, Queen Mother, Haoran has come to see you."

"This is Li Yu, a gentle and kind person, a son... the one who wants to be with you for the rest of your life."

No matter what difficulties and obstacles he will encounter, Erchen will never let go of this person's hand.

"Don't worry, Queen Mother, Erchen is... not alone anymore."

In the silent moonlit night, only the wind brushes gently over the leaves, shakes the snowflakes and falls, and there is no other sound.

Looking at Shen Haoran's profile, Li Yu guessed that the time was almost up, so he turned around, stared into his eyes, and said to him slowly.

"...Happy birthday."

The clenched fingertips trembled, and Shen Haoran was a little surprised, "How would you know..."

It has been a long time since I heard this sentence on this day.

Since his mother left, he never celebrated his birthday again.He almost forgot what it was like to celebrate his birthday.

"Hmm." Li Yu didn't explain much, but asked again, "I've been in a hurry these days, and I haven't had time to prepare a gift for you. Is there... anything you want?"

"..." Shen Haoran stared at him, did not answer immediately, but reconfirmed, "Anything is fine?"

Fearing that he had bad intentions and made excessive demands, Li Yu hesitated for a long time before whispering in a shy face, "Except, except me."

"Too, too soon... I just started dating, I'm not ready yet..."

What's more, it's not that I don't want to be down here... it's just that I'm a little scared.

Will it hurt...

Seeing Li Yu's faltering and faltering eyes, as if he misunderstood something, Shen Haoran couldn't help but chuckle, "Hahaha... what are you thinking..."

It was only then that Li Yu realized that he was thinking crookedly, wishing he could bury himself in the imperial mausoleum right now.

"You, you... bully me again!"

"Hahaha... I didn't even say it, you already...hahaha..."

Is this taking the initiative to come to the door, or throwing yourself in the arms?

"Don't laugh!"

"Okay, okay." Shen Haoran couldn't hold back a smile, but he couldn't hide the smile in his crooked eyes.

Originally, he just wanted a jade pendant on Li Yu's body, or a hairpin, but he didn't expect Li Yu to think wrongly.

However, I did not guess wrong.

"You're already mine."

Although it is not completely his own, but he should really think about it, what reason should he find to start?

"You..." Super straight ball!Li Yu quickly changed the subject, "Okay! What gift do you want!"

"you."

"you--"

"Hahaha……"

Shen Haoran smiled for a long time, looked at Li Yu who was ashamed and angry, before he stopped messing around, "Okay, I won't tease you...can you give me your jade pendant?"

"Jade pendant?" Li Yu looked down at the jade pendant on his waist, and stretched out his hand to untie it.

This piece of Hetian jade pendant was made by a famous craftsman. The whole body is crystal clear, lustrous, with exquisite lines, and his name is embossed on the back. It is tied with simple red tassels, which looks very beautiful.

But to Li Yu, it was not particularly important.

"This one?" Li Yu handed the jade pendant to Shen Haoran, a little puzzled, "Why, do you like this jade pendant?"

Obviously he can ask for better things from himself, but he only wants this jade pendant?

"It's not because I like this jade pendant, but because this jade pendant belongs to you."

Shen Haoran took the jade pendant, stroking the lines on the jade pendant with his fingertips, and smiled unconsciously.

Want something from him.

"A token of love."

It was just four simple words, but Li Yu almost couldn't stand still, and couldn't stop the throbbing in his chest.

...If this continues, I don't know if I will go crazy.

It is obviously a cool and elegant flower of Gaoling, but now it is always invisible.

Although I don't hate it!And a little more like it!But it's not good...

"Got it, I'll give it to you."

Seeing him rubbing the jade pendant with his fingertips so cherishingly, Li Yu couldn't help laughing.

It is obviously just a simple item, but it can make the other party so happy.

The moonlight was hazy, and the two held hands and looked at each other, but they didn't notice that the night wind blowing behind them rustled the leaves.

The people lurking in the dark stared silently at the two figures in the distance, like a group of wild beasts hiding their prey, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

- The target is locked.
