After wearing lotus essence

Lianyu yelled angrily on the spot twice, pity him for not speaking for ten years, stuttering when he spoke, and being forced to eat a mouthful of dust from the horse's hindquarters.

Shang Cizhou's captivity was so smooth that even Rong Mu himself hadn't realized it yet.

He brushed the hair that was sticking to his face, and opened his mouth to catch the cold wind.

There seemed to be a muffled laugh from someone behind him, and then a hand stretched out to help him close the skirt of his chest, which was embroidered with exquisite lotus patterns.

Rong Mu exposed his eyes and blinked, feeling that Shang Cizhou was really simple and rude, but at least he was able to speak this way.

The young man's voice was muffled: "Slow down, slow down, the speed of the horse is too fast!"

Shang Cizhou didn't say a word, but pulled the rein, and really slowed down and walked into the dense forest.

After a few days of hunting, the vigilant animals had already run away, and the ones that could not escape were hunted back. Now there was only the sound of the wind in the forest, and Rong Mu could also hear a faint sound in the dark.

He stretched his neck and looked back, Shang Cizhou straightened his head, and said in a low voice: "There is no need to follow."

Rong Mu: "???" Who is this person talking to?

The emperor smoothed his long hair and explained: "Don't be afraid, it's a lonely hidden guard."

Rong Mu was stunned, and said again: "I see that in the past few days, there are many princes from aristocratic families hanging around in front of you?"

Shang Cizhou looked at Rong Mu Yubai's ear: "Are you jealous?"

Rong Mu let out a sigh: "Why am I jealous, I just look at this group of people, it's really interesting, the emperor's favor is rare, and it makes them scramble for the performance."

Wu Zhui walked slowly in the forest, Shang Cizhou only occasionally pulled the reins, "Gu just cleaned up a group of corrupt officials a while ago, and a few seats were vacated in the court, these people are not allowed to show off, In case Gu is in a better mood, you can also reward them with some imperial food."

Rong Mu clicked his tongue: "It's really cool to be the emperor."

Shang Cizhou's voice was low: "Does Ting Zhi want to know who Gudu has dealt with?"

Rong Mu tilted his head: "Huh?"

What does he, a Huahua who only knows how to play with mud, know about these maneuvers?

The emperor didn't wait for him to refuse and said leisurely: "They are all secretly arranging you, talking about you, and arguing about you to kill you. , the copied money can also be saved for Ting Zhi."

Rong Mu was dumbfounded: "You... When did you start doing these things?"

Shang Cizhou laughed: "It's been a while, but I didn't mention it because I was afraid of scaring you. Tingzhi usually has a peaceful life, so I don't want to disturb you with these mundane things."

Rong Mu took a long breath, no wonder some officials passing by these days looked at him with fear in their eyes, the co-author was Shang Cizhou who had cleared him of a wave of potential enemies outside.

"Do you really think it's meaningful to do this?" Rong Mu couldn't help asking, "Will it offend the court?"

Shang Cizhou pulled the reins, Wu Zhui stopped, he said: "Why is it meaningless? The court was built by one hand, so why offend?"

Rong Mu became anxious: "Do you know that I will probably never fall in love with someone, at most I just feel—"

"Feeling pretty lonely, don't you?"

Rong Mu stopped, Shang Cizhou moved behind him, and then suddenly got off the horse, he took the rein and pulled Wu Chase for Rong Mu.

Shang Cizhou looked at him: "The meaning of doing this is not to make you understand immediately, but just to give you a little more sense of security, to let you know that the emperor can protect you well, and maybe you will Trust Gu a little more...just like trusting Lianyu."

Rong Mu's eyes widened: "What are you talking about...?"

Shang Cizhou broke off a branch blocking the way for Rong Mu: "Lianyu is just a teenage follower with an upright temperament, but he has been a prince for more than ten years and emperor for seven years, you say, Did Gu's acting skills fool him, or did his acting skills fool Gu?"

Rong Mu couldn't react for a while.

Shang Ciri stopped at a bush of flowers, Wu Zhui lowered his head and sniffed the petals, the color was blooming very well, and there was shining dew in the forest.

The emperor stretched out his hand with a soft expression, and said again: "Do you still want to ride a horse? Or come down for a walk? This place was surrounded by people before, and the horse's hoof has not stepped here."

Rong Mu subconsciously handed over his hand, and saw Shang Cizhou randomly throw the whip and dagger in his hand into the quiver behind Wu Zhui's buttocks.

"Ting Zhi, I don't want to make you think that there are only four words for Gu." Shang Cizhou hugged him off the horse, looked at him and said, "Gu was the one who found you first, so why do you ask others to go halfway?" .”

Rong Mu swallowed his throat: "You, what, what do you know?"

Shang Cizhou smiled and said gently: "Don't hide behind the window next time, it's cold there, be careful of getting sick."

Rong Mu stopped suddenly.

……Yes.

He should have known.

It's not that Shang Cizhou can be fooled just by being fooled.

"There is also the princess of the Southern Dynasty, Gu never fully monitors what Tingzhi is doing, but everyone from the Southern Dynasty seems to have compassion for you, whether it is the previous few meticulous workers, or the later 'woodcarving merchants. 'And the honorable princess," Shang Cizhou said farewell to his soft hair behind his ears, and tentatively asked: "Do you really want to go back to your homeland?"

Rong Mu lay flat completely, and couldn't play anymore, so he just played badly: "I won't come back, these Nandai people are very strange, insisting that I look like Nandai Wang, damn it! Nandai Wang is too inspirational, trash How can I be compared with him? When I go back, I may be forced to learn the rules of the Southern Dynasties, so I might as well stay by your side and sleep until I wake up naturally, at least you will take me out on a trip."

Shang Cizhou laughed twice: "Ting Zhi is not a waste."

Rong Mu looked at him, and Shang Cizhou said again: "At most, he is a little clumsy and cute, but what does that matter? Between the two of us, as long as one of us is smart, that's enough."

Rong Mu took a deep breath: "Just look at me anywhere."

Shang Cizhou left Wu Zhui where he was, and took Rong Mu to the depths of the mountain forest: "But listening to what you said, Gu remembered the time when he saw the King of Nandai on the battlefield. The mask is covered, and Gu was still thinking about what kind of girl he would look like, so that he would wear a mask to kill the enemy on the battlefield, so Gu has never seen his real face until today."

Rong Mu had completely given up on confronting Shang Cizhou, he said casually: "I look alike to him, then you can just look at me, the rest is free to imagine."

Shang Cizhou really gave him a serious look, and then said "no" in a low voice.

Rong Mu frowned: "Do you think I'm ugly?"

Shang Cizhou shook his head: "No, you look good, but if the Southern Dynasty king You Tingzhi is three-point similar, he would not be able to hold a sword alone on the battlefield."

Rong Mu took a breath.

This emperor, does he know what he is talking about!

His neck turned red with embarrassment, the blood flowed quickly, pumped through the atrium suddenly, Rong Mu's footsteps paused slightly, Shang Cizhou turned to him and said, "What's wrong, Ting Zhi?"

Rong Mu closed his eyes and waited for a while, then waved his hands with a normal face and said: "It's okay, I'm cramping, don't talk like that in the future."

Shang Cizhou: "Why, I just feel that this is the truth."

Rong Mu looked at him, was silent for a while, and then said: "Let me ask you, can you support lotus flowers in winter?"

"Do you like to grow lotus in winter?" Shang Cizhou said, "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. Lotus is Xia Zhi."

Rong Mu said again: "In spring, has it ever snowed?"

Shang Cizhou shook his head: "Never."

Rong Mu finally said: "Have you seen the full moon being swallowed by the dog, the earth is dark, have you seen the mountain split in half, and the sea water flooding the farmland?"

Shang Cizhou looked at Rong Mu without moving his eyes: "Gu has never seen it before, why did Ting Zhi say this?"

Rong Mu looked at him and said: "If these major events that change the seasons and change the world are possible, then these ethereal loves and loves around me are just trivial things that Tian Dao doesn't bother to care about."

Shang Cizhou looked at him quietly for a while, then stretched out his hand and said, "Ting Zhi is loved by the Dao of Heaven, but he doesn't seem to be so at ease...then let's be quiet first, don't let it find out."

Rong Mu was stunned for a moment, and Shang Cizhou pulled his hand over. The dense forest became darker and darker, and the trees tens of meters high covered the bright daylight. Wu Zhui kicked his hooves in the flowers outside the forest, but followed do not come in.

Shang Cizhou walked all the way, as if he was looking for some signs, Rong Mu saw that he split the branches and thorns that grew out with a short knife, and he walked in front of him like this, as if he was invincible in everything he encountered.

Rong Mu tilted his head slightly, looking at the long hair hanging behind his back, and the occasional deep profile.

No one has ever given him such a strange feeling like Shang Cizhou. Everyone else accepts their fate, but he does not admit it. He is completely dead, and he can still be fostered by this person in another era, and at a certain point he is caught. back.

Almost all the cut lines between the two of them were reconnected by this person with exhaustion.

Rong Mu shook his hand: "Where are you going?"

Shang Cizhou: "You are not going to see the natural lotus pond on this mountain."

Rong Mu hesitated: "It's too dark in the woods, are you sure where it is?"

Shang Cizhou hummed and stopped talking.

Rong Mu lowered his eyes, inadvertently saw the dew and dust on the hem of the emperor's black clothes, and suddenly thought of a question.

Shang Cizhou has been in the capital all year round, how could he be so familiar with a small pond on a mountain far away from the capital?Although he came every year, in those years without him, Shang Cizhou didn't even care where a puddle of flowers was.

For the past few days... is he hunting or exploring the way?

Rong Mu suddenly didn't dare to think about it, he just stared blankly at the dangling red ribbon on Shang Cizhou's headband.

The young and handsome emperor, who is in control of Wentao Wulue, is no wonder he was stared at by the aristocratic family and the harem before. How many such powerful people can there be in history?

...But such a powerful person, after hearing his embarrassing words, still held him tightly, as if he never knew how to let go.

I don't know how long it has passed, Rong Mu only felt that the sun had changed its direction, like the last twilight before sunset, Shang Cizhou suddenly stopped in his tracks: "Gu said to hug you, you must, there are few people here, and horses can't get in." Come, you can only go."

Rong Mu blinked, "Ah."

Shang Cizhou smiled at him, stretched out his hand to push aside the last green barrier, and the sound of insects and frogs instantly swept into his ears, like a grand sonata.

Rong Mu's eyes rolled, and he stared blankly in front of him.

In the depths of the mountain stream, surrounded by small hills on all sides, but on the hills there are trees more than ten meters high, covering the sky and covering the sun without seeing the blue sky. It is the beginning of summer, and the outside world is noisy and hot, but here it is cool and comfortable, like Xanadu.

Today's last ray of skylight shines through the gaps in the trees, strands of strands seem to be cut into countless lines, whether thick or thin, bright or dark, all projected on a green pond.

Rong Mu took a few steps forward, the soles of his feet were moist and soft, mixed with the unique fragrance of soil and green grass, and there were butterflies flying. This kind of place seems to be born for the growth of lotus flowers, even the small circle that was given up by the trees above , It seems that these huge guards are sympathetic to the dead lotus plants in the pond, leaving them with the last trace of cracks in the warm sun.

"Here, no one has been here for many years." Rong Mu whispered.

"That's true. I searched for it for a long time before I found it again."

Rong Mu stopped by the pond, Bi Jiangxue would definitely like such natural soft mud, and the lotus plant is in full bloom in summer, and it will soon want to get rid of it all.

Shang Cizhou stepped forward and stood side by side with Rong Mu by the pond.

"I want to give you a lot of things, but you don't seem to want them at all. I can only hold back, observe and guess secretly, to see if I can match what I like... Here, do you like it?"

Rong Mu looked at the scenery in front of him, the setting sun mixed with the evening, had dyed the pond dark gold, and the forest behind him was dark, but standing beside Shang Cizhou, he seemed not afraid at all.

"I, I really like it." If Shang Cizhou was not here to watch, he would have plunged into it on the spot.

But Shang Cizhou brought him here, which already made him very happy.

Rong Mu looked to his side, and he raised his head slightly: "Ah Zhou, you are the emperor, everyone will bow their heads and kneel when they see you, I usually offend you, but now I want you to dig mud with me... Do you want to do that?" Digging in the mud? Don’t force yourself.”

Shang Cizhou's appearance without scheming and guessing turned out to be a bit frightening, Rong Mu nodded amusedly when he saw him: "Who wouldn't like to play mud with Ting Zhi? Only those who trust each other will invite each other to play together .”

Rong Mu nodded blankly: "You are right."

He originally wanted to dig with Lianyu, but never thought of Shang Cizhou, but now it seems that things are going well with Shang Cizhou.

After all, if it was just him and Lianyu, who hadn't made a mark in advance, and didn't make a special trip to prepare everything, they would probably still be spinning around like idiots in the mountains at this moment.

Rong Mu rolled up his sleeves: "Here, lotus flowers will grow again this summer, just like Yuhu Lake is full of hope - have you brought a big cloth bag? Start digging now, and it will still be wet when you take it back!"

I only heard the man next to me chuckle deeply: "It's just right."

Rong Mu turned his head, and saw Shang Cizhou untie a folded bag at his waist, it didn't know how it was folded, it looked very small, but when unpacked it was huge.

Shang Cizhou lowered his eyes and disassembled, "At this time, you and I are just right, and you can fill in the mud after a while."

Rong Mu tilted his head in doubt, picked the wet soil on the bank, and saw Shang Cizhou slowly open the mouth of the bag, and then trembled twice.

A green spot of light lit up in the bag, followed by white, then green, and finally flickered as if it had woken up.

A spot of light flew out, circling Shang Cizhou's hand, and then turned to his cuff, Rong Mu thought it was his spiritual power for a moment, but then he realized it was not.

These little things are just a group of fireflies that Shang Cizhou caught for him from nowhere, and in this corner that seems to be forgotten by the world, they just pick them up and show them to him alone.

Rong Mu's throat was blocked for a while, he didn't understand, and he had never seen it before, what kind of formation is this?That kind of strange feeling, he looked at the person beside him, he thought that this person was always sullen and domineering, but he didn't expect this person to be able to suppress his murderous nature, and he didn't know from which corner he caught so much tenderness.

"You, you should restrain yourself, don't bark, let someone find out."

Rong Mu intermittently, felt that he was stuttering for a moment, Ting Zhi Que's gold, silver and jewelry were piled up in the past, but now, Shang Cizhou found out that he only likes these lovely creatures.

He clearly agreed that he was just here to dig mud, but does Shang Cizhou know what he is doing?

"Rong Mu, are you happy?"

Rong Mu hardly dared to look at that young and serious face, so many times, I don't know how many times Shang Cizhou traveled through the forest, the dirt on the corner of his clothes, these days he was hanging out with Lianyu, could Shang Cizhou be here? Catching fireflies all over the mountains and plains for him?

He is the emperor, he is the emperor.

How could he do such a thing.

Rong Mu took a deep breath, and a firefly fell on his skirt and flickered.

"you you--"

Shang Cizhou looked at him and laughed: "Green fire surrounds the flower, and the pavilion branches are fragrant... Gu said that I will take you out to play, so I won't make you still wary of Gu, I just want you to be really happy, pity Yu, Wang Nu, and other people whom Gu doesn’t know, Rong Mu, Gu is greedy, can you move Gu and put it on the top of your heart? It doesn’t matter if you don’t put it all, but you can put a little bit first.”

Rong Mu grabbed the weeds next to him, and he was almost bald before he whispered: "You are cheating, you disrupt my rhythm of serving water, I..."

Shang Cizhou released all the fireflies in the bag, and took the initiative to dig a piece of mud he liked for Rong Mu and put it in the bag.

"A little bit, can't you?"

Rong Mu watched the emperor's noble hands digging the mud for him, and couldn't help closing his eyes.

He held a handful of grass in his hand.

Xindao said that today's widowed king's psychological construction is complete, how can he beat Shang Cizhou?

It's better to be salty fish, lie down early, and simply let it go, heartache is heartache, he wants to see if Shang Cizhou can really break the shackles set by heaven for him.

Rong Mu turned his head: "It's alright, Your Majesty, don't try harder."

Shang Cizhou tilted his head and followed Rong Mu's gaze: "Is there a place for you?"

Rong Mu muttered.

Shang Cizhou: "Huh?"

Rong Mu had chest tightness and was at a loss for what to do, thinking what kind of crime he had suffered!He threw a handful of grass over and hit the emperor's noble robe messily.

"I said! Got it!"
