Qi Zizhen didn't know what was going on in Song Yaoxu's heart, but he only knew that the emotions he was showing were very dangerous, and that Song Yaoxu was holding him by the back of his neck.

...a little afraid to move.

He believed that the gentle Song Yaoxu would not really imprison him in a small black room, but it could make him have such dangerous thoughts...

Qi Zizhen quickly restrained his rest of his thoughts, and apologized obediently and softly: "Your Highness, I'm sorry, I know I was wrong, and I will take good care of myself."

Maybe it was because his voice was so pitiful this time, Song Yaoxu finally sighed and let him go after a long while: "Forget it, let's not talk about it. You haven't had breakfast yet, go eat something first. "

When he spoke, his expression was better than before. Qi Zizhen was afraid that he would be emotional later, so he didn't say anything else, he nodded obediently, and when he was about to consciously take the initiative to get the bowl, Song Yaoxu was already one step ahead of him, took the bowl and scooped it up Porridge, brought to the side table.

"Let's eat first, don't starve your body."

Song Yaoxu pulled up Qi Zizhen's chair while talking, and his tone became as gentle as usual.

Qi Zizhen walked over slowly, and asked tentatively, "Your Highness...are you not angry?"

Song Yaoxu glanced at him, smiled helplessly, reached out and gently pinched his cheek: "Would I be willing to be angry with you. Eat quickly, it will be cold if you delay."

Seeing the smile on his face again, Qi Zizhen felt relieved, finished his breakfast bite by bite, and took the initiative to clean up the dishes by himself.

After confirming that he had finished eating, Song Yaoxu didn't stay any longer, and planned to go back to the palace on the grounds that he still had something to deal with.

With a thought, Qi Zizhen grabbed his sleeve when he got up to leave, blinked and said, "I want to go back with Your Highness."

Song Yaoxu had a smile on his lips: "Isn't Zizhen still having an appointment with Zhu Shangshu?"

Hearing this, Qi Zizhen's expression froze for a moment, then he coughed lightly, and said without changing his face: "Your Highness, I made a mistake, it is Emperor Shunhe next door to Zhu Shangshu."

Sensing his guilty conscience, Song Yaoxu smiled and rubbed his head again: "If you need to find Zhu Shangshu for something, go to the appointment, I was just talking, remember to seize the time, don't be there all day long Just stay outside."

Qi Zizhen retorted in a low voice: "The affairs of others are not as important as being with His Highness. Anyway, I won't say anything if I don't go to Zhu Shangshu once. I just want to be with Your Highness now."

He said so proactively, of course Song Yaoxu would not continue to refuse, and accompanied him back to the room on the top floor to change a set of clothes and then went back to the palace together.

In order to be able to block Qi Zizhen at the gate of the National Teacher Pagoda, today Song Yaoxu can be said to have left the palace together at the same time. He didn't even see the work he had to do. After returning to the palace, he walked non-stop. study.

In the past, Qi Zizhen would come to the Imperial Study Room to look for Song Yaoxu from time to time, and he was very familiar with this place. When Song Yaoxu returned to the book case to review the memorial, he also went to the side to find a volume to read.

Soon there were only slight sounds of pages being turned and papers being folded in the huge Imperial Study Room.

On the way, a palace servant who noticed that Qi Zizhen had also come to the imperial study came in and brought a pot of warm water.

After being unjustly imprisoned before, Song Yaoxu specially cleaned up the palace people around him, and those who are still left are trustworthy people who are careful enough on weekdays, so Song Yaoxu specially ordered before that if you meet When Qi Zizhen is here, remember that there must be warm tea or water in the room at all times.

Changing the water frequently would lead to waste, so Qi Zizhen unknowingly formed a good habit of drinking water when he had nothing to do in the imperial study.

When he saw someone from the palace bringing water, he habitually poured himself a glass first, put it on another table specially arranged for him by Song Yaoxu, and took a few sips when he was free.

Just when he picked up the water, a familiar sound of flapping wings came from the window, and then he saw a little gray bird that he hadn't seen for several days flying in from outside, landed in front of him with a chirp, and Shaking the feathers.

Qi Zizhen saw that there was a small bamboo tube tied to his feet, probably Qin Gong had some news, so he raised his hand and gently rubbed the little gray bird's head.

Seeing this, Song Yaoxu temporarily put down the memorial in his hand, took out a small bag with grains from the side of the desk, and poured some grains in front of the little gray bird.

"Chirp!"

The little gray bird chirped a few times happily, jumped to the millet and pecked and ate it, looking like it was starving.

Song Yaoxu smiled a little more, and stroked the head of the little gray bird with his index finger, and said "Thanks for your hard work" to it, and then untied the small bamboo tube tied at his feet.

Qi Zizhen picked up his teacup beside him, drinking water slowly while waiting for Song Yaoxu to take out the note.

Song Yaoxu roughly read the contents of the note, and said: "Qin Gong and the others came to report that they had sent someone who had sneaked into Southwest Town to report that there is indeed a connection between King Guan and General Southwest."

There is indeed a connection between King Guan and General Southwest...?

Qi Zizhen frowned, and vaguely felt that something flashed in his mind again.

Before he had time to think about it, Cui Liang hurried in again at this moment: "Your Highness! Something happened to the prison!"

"what?!"

Qi Zizhen and Song Yaoxu looked at each other, and then Song Yaoxu took a step forward and asked quickly, "What happened?"

Cui Liang did not dare to delay, and clasped his fists to report: "Just now someone sent by the jailer said that Qi Yuan, who was originally imprisoned in the prison, suddenly disappeared this morning!"

"Snapped--"

"Who did you say is missing?!"

Qi Zizhen stood up abruptly, his hand trembled accidentally, and the teacup full of water fell to the ground, shards of porcelain and water splashed everywhere.

Cui Liang was taken aback by the sudden movement, but he still dutifully repeated: "Qi Yuan, who was imprisoned in the prison, suddenly disappeared this morning."

Qi Zizhen could no longer hear his words.

At the same time when Cui Liang reported, he felt that all the blurry images in his mind suddenly flew out, and a large number of unfamiliar scenes and sounds almost burst his brain.

["It has been confirmed that King Guan has contacts with the Southwest General, and it is suspected to be related to forbidden techniques."]

【"Qi Yuan...is missing."】

……

【"You are the one sent by the eldest grandson Wushun to find the son of luck?"】

【"Why, Master Guan Wang still looks down on women?"】

【"Whether you look down on it or not, it depends on your ability."】

……

【"I found it. That person is one of Song Yaoxu and Qi Zizhen. It's just that which one it is... need to be further confirmed."】

【"Song Yaoxu is the son of heaven, so it is more likely. However, Qi Zizhen is the teacher of the state. It is rumored that he has caused a vision, so the possibility is not small."】

【"We can find a time to see if Qi Zizhen can really trigger the vision. If he can, it will be him; if not, it will be Song Yaoxu."】

【"Okay, then you... Who is the person at the door?!"】

……

Countless memories flooded in like a tide, and Qi Zizhen felt that his headache was about to explode.

What are these...?

Anxiety and fear that were almost desperate came rushing together with memories.

What happened after that?

He desperately wanted to recall, but the anxiety and fear in his heart were like a shackle, binding him tightly, making him almost breathless.

What exactly are these?What happened after this?

He wants to explore, but is bound by strong negative emotions.

"Head hurts……"

Qi Zizhen clutched the edge of the table tightly with one hand, propped his forehead with the other, his face was full of pain.

Cui Liang didn't quite know what happened, and when he saw this, he hurriedly wanted to go to the imperial physician, but was stopped by Song Yaoxu.

Song Yaoxu looked at him with dim eyes, and told Cui Liang to suppress Qi Yuan's affairs for the time being, and not to tell the outside world about Qi Zizhen's current situation, and then told him to watch at the door of the imperial study, and not to let anything go. people come in.

Cui Liang looked at Qi Zizhen with a painful look. Although he was very worried in his heart, he chose to listen to Song Yaoxu's words, retired respectfully, and went to the door to complete his own task seriously.

After Song Yaoxu watched him leave, he walked quickly to Qi Zizhen's side, gently took him into his arms, and said softly, "Don't think about the headache, be obedient, sleep and you'll be fine."

Qi Zizhen, who was struggling in pain, heard a familiar and gentle voice, and the tip of his nose was filled with a sense of reassurance.Get some sleep...will you be fine?

He listened to the warm voice of relief in his ears over and over again, and unconsciously became a little tired.

Then... go to sleep.

Qi Zizhen closed his eyes in a haze, leaned into Song Yaoxu's arms and fell asleep little by little, falling into a snowy dream again.

in a dream.

Qi Zizhen slowly opened his eyes, and saw himself lying down in a snowy field strolling along the border.

so cold...

He let out a breath of white air, slowly stood up from the snow, and looked around.

He found that he seemed to be in a desolate snow field, with no vegetation, no buildings, only endless white snow.

Where is this place?

Qi Zizhen rubbed his hands that were red from the cold, and tried to walk forward to see where it was.

But before he took many steps, he saw what seemed to be an ice coffin not far away.

Ice coffin!

He remembered that he had seen this ice coffin twice in his dream before, and immediately quickened his pace and rushed over, and sure enough, he saw the lifeless "Qi Zizhen" lying in the ice coffin.

He still remembers the first time he saw the ice coffin in the first month of last year when he lost control and was picked up by Ning Qingwei in the snow to take him back to the National Master Tower when he fainted. In the ice coffin, he and "Qi Zizhen" completely merged into one person.

The second time was when he, Song Yaoxu, and Wei Lingshen rushed back to the capital from the border, and also when he had an inexplicable extra sword wound on his left shoulder.And that time, he almost touched the ice coffin and woke up from his dream.

Qi Zizhen stood beside the ice coffin, and his intuition told him that if he touched it, something important would happen.

And he can't guarantee whether this matter is good or bad.

Qi Zizhen looked at the person in the ice coffin that was exactly the same as himself, and for some reason, he felt uneasy and fear again, but this time there was another voice in his mind, urging him to touch the ice coffin.

Anxiety, fear and urging anticipation are like two villains of different factions, making completely different temptations in his ears, but the villain urging anticipation is still more tempting.

He stood on the spot, slightly curled up his left fingertips that were hanging on one side, and lifted them up little by little after a while, approaching the edge of the ice coffin very slowly, and stopped for a moment before touching it.

At this moment, he suddenly became timid again.

The first time was the fusion of souls, the second time was a serious injury to the left shoulder, then the third time... what will happen?

Qi Zizhen closed his eyes, and finally, his heart broke, and he lightly touched the ice coffin.

At this moment, a gust of wind suddenly picked up, and the sky was filled with cold snow. Biting coldness spread from his fingertips to his whole body in an instant. He even felt that he was about to be covered by boundless snow.

At the same time, he suddenly saw "Qi Zizhen" in the ice coffin slowly opened his eyes, sat up stiffly from the ice coffin, looked around blankly, met his gaze, and showed him a warm look. Smile, voice ethereal and soft.

"Welcome back, my... other half of the soul."
