Sijin was sitting on the soft sedan chair, looking up at the rustling snow falling along the vermilion palace wall, the wall was facing the palace gate, everything was silent at this moment, and there was no guard guarding her.

He thought for a while, stepped his feet into the soft snow accumulated on the palace road, and stood up.When the soft snow touched the soles of his feet, it made a "creaking" sound, which caused Chu Ji on the other side to raise his head and wanted to step forward to help him.

Sijin shook her head and said softly, "No need."

He was wearing a hot thick cloak, which was incompatible with the chilling Xijue Palace at this time, and even more incompatible with this icy and snowy winter day.It wasn't until he touched the cold and hard palace wall and the biting chill pressed against his fingertips that he realized that the coldness was so real.

It is as if ten years ago, when the leaves withered and the Jin Dynasty had not yet entered winter, it ushered in the first snow that penetrated the heart.

That snow crushed his father and Da Jin.shattered his life.

He hated that snow.he hates.

The hand touching the palace wall was covered by a warm hand, and the small world in front of him was also plunged into shadows because of a figure approaching for no reason.

He heard Ling Qu's voice, with some faint jokes, like a bird that was looking for food flew lightly in the middle of the snow-covered lake: "Ajin is here."

Sijin wanted to withdraw her hand, but Lingqu came prepared, knowing that he wanted to dodge, but refused to let him succeed.

Sijin only felt that the original real chill gradually melted because of Lingqu's package, and until now, the cold and hard palace walls have completely isolated him.

He frowned, and just as he was about to speak, a red plum suddenly appeared in front of him, lighting up his eyes.

The fresh fragrance of plum lingered on the tip of his nose, which made his brows loosen for a moment, revealing a somewhat ignorant expression.

Ling Qu put the plum in his palm:

"I just passed by the palace gate and saw that the red plum blossoms are blooming well. I will give you one as a gift."

The corner of Sijin's mouth twitched, and she could only say: "The palace is full of maids guarding plums, how can I let you pick them?"

Ling Qu smiled: "I told him that it is a sad thing after all that the flowers are in full bloom but no one cares about them. Why don't you give them to me as a token of your affection? You can make the best use of them, and this trip is worthwhile."

"To whom?"

"Give it to your sweetheart."

Chu Ji got out of the sedan chair, and they were alone on the road in the palace.

The snow rested for a while, then fell again rustling, whitening the black cloak wrapped around Sijin and the red plums between her fingers.At this moment, an umbrella was held over his head, neither fast nor slow, tightly covering it.

Sijin walked for a while, and finally couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you ask me, how dare you come to the palace openly?"

Ling Qu held the umbrella in one hand, and lightly pressed his back against his back with the other, so that he would not tire his waist due to his fast and slow steps.Then he replied: "I know that your childbirth is approaching, and you are flustered, and you need to see me all the time. So after knowing that I was right in Huojun, I revealed my identity and threatened General Lacquer Diao to let you enter the palace. After entering the palace, seeing me , you can rest assured. Isn't it?"

Being guessed by Ling Qu, Sijin bit her lip in a rare way, and lowered her eyes.

Ling Qu said suddenly: "I don't know if you still remember, my eyes were extremely sensitive to light at first, and you were the one who blocked them for me all the time."

Sijin nodded, then shook her head again: "To me, the current memory is just like it happened in a dream."

After hearing this, Ling Qu said, "Whether you remember it or not, it happened. Ah Jin, at that time I was thinking that it would be nice to have a poisonous cultivator by my side."

As he spoke, he stopped and let the umbrella cover Sijin's head. Ren Xue fell down and piled up around the two of them: "No matter how poisonous the peacock is, there must be an opponent."

"I am your opponent?" Sijin didn't understand.

"Before I met you, my poison was effective for everyone in the world. After I met you, I dare not say that. Isn't that counted?" Ling Qu couldn't help stuffing his cold hands into his furry cloak.

"What kind of opponent is this?" Sijin gave a rare laugh, put Lingqu's hand on her thick cuff, and held it vaguely.

In the warm sleeves, two hands folded and snuggled together.

"A real opponent is life and death, one or the other. But your so-called opponents are symbiotic and complementary. I have never seen such an opponent." Sijin said.

Ling Qu pretended to frown and let out a "tsk".

"What?" Sijin came back to her senses and asked with concern.

Ling Qu looked at him intently, but there was a three-point smile in his eyes: "Now that Ah Jin is so smart, I don't know what to do."

"What do you mean?" Sijin's tone revealed a trace of displeasure, "Does it mean that I was an extremely stupid person before the side effects of the Nine Turns Mysterious Spirit Pill occurred?"

"Of course not." Ling Qu said hastily, "You are the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom, and you have inherited the wisdom and courage of Emperor Jin Guang and the ice and snow intelligence of Empress Elan. Even if you are blocked by the Nine-Turn Mysterious Spirit Pill, how can you be so stupid? It's just the icing on the cake now. , I am inferior to you."

Sijin laughed angrily at him, and was about to speak when she saw Sheng Yushan walking towards them in a mourning dress.

Sheng Yushan came, looked at Sijin, turned his eyes to Lingqu, and said: "The official family's mausoleum collapsed, and the prison country is probably in great grief. I also hope that the prison country will learn from the pain and restore the country, rivers and society for the official family."

"There's no one else here." Ling Qu narrowed his eyes, holding Si Jin behind his back slightly, "There's no need to say something that's silly."

Only then did Sheng Yushan change his lazy voice, and said, "I'm afraid Jian Guo is clear that the reason why the officials handed over to Shanhe is to let Jian Guo deal with Dong Sheng."

Ling Qu raised his brows slightly, his eyes flashed with disapproval: "So?"

"Ask knowingly." Sheng Yushan snorted, stopped the walnut in his hand, and passed by them, "Jianguo owes me a horse. It's been a long time, and it's time to collect profit."

It was not until the next day that Ling Qu brought Si Jin back to the foot of the mountain.

At present, the monks of Taihe Temple temporarily live in a Zhuangzi called "Gubiezhuang" at the foot of the mountain.Zhuangzi is spacious and quiet, and it is neglected to take care of it on weekdays. After the monks moved in, they took care of it carefully inside and out.

Seeing Sijin come back safely, Senior Brother Lingmu was very happy after busy work.But when he thinks that Si Zhan, who is the liveliest, is gone, Ling Mu feels dejected.

Sijin looked at the vegetarian meal in Senior Brother Lingmu's hand, frowned slightly, and asked, "Is the host still refusing to eat?"

Ling Mu said: "After all, Si Zhan was brought up by the host. The host is naturally sad when Si Zhan is gone."

Sijin said, "I'll go find the host."

He took the fast meal from Senior Brother Ling Mu, and knocked gently on the door.The door was not closed tightly, and he heard the host's old voice: "Come in."

I haven't seen you for a few days, the host seems to be ten years older.Although Sijin's current memory has not been fully recovered, the past events are just a big dream to him, but after waking up from the dream, some complexes during the period still touch his heartstrings.Si Zhan went, and the corners of his heart twitched.

He knelt down slowly, on the soft futon, and put the vegetarian meal by the table.There is no heating stove in the room, only the lingering smoke of the incense burner brings a little warmth.

"Si Zhan..." The host was tearful and hugged Si Jin tremblingly, but when he saw Si Jin's swollen belly, his voice died down.

"Can the host feel the movement of the fetus in the womb?" Sijin asked softly with soft eyes, "The baby is about to be born. But I haven't thought of his name. It doesn't matter if it's a girl or a boy. Someone in the family who can talk to me has to come and pick it up, I discussed it with Ling Qu, and the host will name the child."

Ling Qu leaned against the carved window, watching Sijin remain silent since she entered the presiding room.

He didn't like to wait in vain, but he couldn't urge him at this moment, so he asked Chu Ji to call Sijin's junior brother, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, to come over to play.As soon as Chu Ji came back, he went to look for his younger brother, and after searching around, he came back and said, "Master, you are kidding me, Xiao Yihua was not in Taihe Temple a few days ago."

"Not at the Taihe Temple anymore?" Ling Qu frowned, seeing the bright light, he pulled out his fan to block the sun, "Then go and call that person who is thinking about something."

"You mean Sizhan?" Chu Ji hesitated, "Sizhan she...she..."

Ling Qu waved his fan, only letting the light touch his chin: "Married?"

"She's dead." Finally, Chu Ji said.

Brief silence.

Ling Qu continued to shake his fan, and said unhurriedly, "Oh...that's a pity."

Chu Ji thought for a while, then suddenly knelt down in front of him, and said, "Master, please save Si Zhan! I know you can save her, you are a poisonous cultivator!"

Ling Qu lowered his eyes to look at him, and said for a moment, "Why should I save her?"

It was rare for Chuji to see his master, and he had kept the words in his heart for a long time, and now he couldn't help pouring out: "When the temple was burned that day, little master Sizhan turned back halfway, it's all because Chuji didn't stop him, and it's all my fault. Stop it, she won't die..."

Listening to his incoherent speech, Ling Qu fell silent for a while.

"Master, there is something I shouldn't have said, but now I have to say it if I don't say it." Chu Ji wiped his tears and said hoarsely, "Chu Ji has lived for so many years, as if he was born to follow the master, But I don't remember my past at all. I have no parents, no brothers, and I can't even find my name and surname on the account post in the dungeon. Although I usually don't care about these things, when I am alone, I will feel weird."

Ling Qu looked at him.

Chu Ji continued: "Although I am very happy with my master, I always feel that my life is borrowed from my master. It is my master who allows me to live freely like ordinary people. All of this is thanks to my master." .”

Ling Qu's eyes were dark, and his tone was like still water: "What do you want to say?"

Chu Ji closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "Chu Ji knew that he was rescued from the dead by his master. Chu Ji lived a simple and happy life in this life. He never asked the master for anything important. Now Chu Ji is bold, I hope the master will save this life with the pestle, and exchange it for little master Si Zhan."

Ling Qu raised his eyebrows and said, "What if I say no?"

He looked down at Chu Ji, eight years later, the blurred expression on that person's face could no longer be found on Chu Ji's face.

Indeed, even if a person can hang himself with poisonous Gu after death, he will not be able to return to his original appearance.

The one alive is completely another person.

"In the third year of the Great Jin Dynasty, your mother was ordered to take care of Queen Elan. In the fifth year of the Great Jin Dynasty, Queen Elan gave birth to a son. In the tenth year of the Great Jin Dynasty, the monk army invaded. Your mother swore to the death to defend the queen mother and child, and was finally buried in a sea of ​​flames. And your My father went to battle with Emperor Jin Guang to kill the enemy, and he died in the rebellion long ago." Ling Qu said in a calm tone.

"All this, I never told you."

"Now, there are two paths before you, either continue to live with your parents' wishes, or let me take out the poisonous Gu from your body in exchange for that little Shizi's life."

Ling Qu looked at him and said word by word: "Take out the poisonous Gu, you will definitely die, and she may not be saved."

Unexpectedly, Chu Ji knocked his head firmly three times: "I hope the master will save Si Zhan."

Ling Qu closed his fan and looked at him with displeasure: "I said, even if you take out the poisonous Gu, she may not be able to save her."

"Master." Chu Ji raised his head, serious as never before, "Let me try."

Looking at Ling Qu's usual calm eyes, Chu Ji slightly raised a naive smile: "Chu Ji knelt down for the little master in advance."
