twilight endless

The summer heat is connected with each other, and the heat is unbearable. This year's midsummer seems to be more difficult than in previous years. It has been hot since the Dragon Boat Festival. When it comes to July, it is even hotter and hotter. It is often sweltering for days without rain, making it even more sad.

This night, even the full moon in the sky seemed to be distorted by the heat, and the night wind blowing into the high-roofed and wide room of the palace still carried the aftermath of the heat of the day. There was still a little bit of sweat, but Zhou Ji who was sleeping on the bed was cold all over, and could not stop shivering slightly.

Twilight held Zhou Ji's cold hand tightly, and gently stroked his face, trying to calm him down as much as possible, but Zhou Ji still became more and more restless as he slept.It seemed that he was going through great pain, and he couldn't help crying in the end.

"Your Highness." Seeing this, Twilight shook Zhou Ji's hand and called softly, "Wake up!"

Zhou Yu was disturbed even more, but he seemed to be trapped in a nightmare and couldn't get out. He struggled for a long time before he suddenly woke up, and then he couldn't help sobbing.

"Your Highness..." Twilight pulled Zhou Ji into her arms, stroked his back, and coaxed softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Zhou Yu was still sobbing, and he calmed down after a long time. He rested his head on Twilight's shoulder and said angrily, "It's so annoying."

"Your Highness is having nightmares again?"

"It's not a nightmare." Zhou Yu whispered against the twilight, as weak as if he had suffered a serious illness, "It's all the real past."

"What has your Highness experienced in the past?"

"What else? It's not a good thing anyway." Zhou Yu took a deep breath, laughed softly, and said with self-deprecating, "This week's road to imperial power was built with bones and blood." Zhou Ji slid down Twilight's shoulders, leaned on his lap, stretched out his hand to touch his long hair scattered in front of him, and asked, "You were also locked in Qianluozhuang by the imperial power, when you couldn't help yourself, Have you ever resented the ruthlessness of the Blood Contract Word Spirit?"

"Have."

"When?" Zhou Yu was very surprised.

"When Your Highness never came back from the Forest of God's View." Twilight held Zhou Ji's face and said softly, "I really wanted to run out of the Forest of God's View to find His Highness, and to see what you were up to. What's wrong."

"Why didn't you go?"

"Because half-demons can't be in the forest of divine vision." Twilight stroked Zhou Ji's cheek, "The only time I couldn't figure out that I was a half-demon, and it was also the first time that I thought that if I wasn't a half-demon, I should have How good it is, I can stay by His Highness's side freely all the time."

"Then how did you figure it out?"

"I can't figure it out." Twilight lowered a pair of red phoenix eyes and drew in a piece of moon shadow, "But I was timid, and I didn't dare to think wildly, let alone do anything wrong. I had to do what I should do step by step, and then I was brought back from Reincarnation Lake by His Highness for no reason. to Prince Xun's Mansion."

Zhou Ga burst into laughter all of a sudden.

"Your Highness." Twilight was not happy, still stroking Zhou Ji's cheek gently, and whispered, "Although I don't want to admit it, I am actually quite stupid. I often think, if my master is not Your Highness, if Didn't I go to Prince Xun's mansion, with my ability to observe words and feelings, I might drive the master crazy every day, and I would be beaten and punished every day. I would be even more confused, and I would hate myself for being a half-demon, and then I have no courage to resist, and I don't know When is it a head. The result is that I will be worried and frightened every day, and I will become more and more afraid that I will not do well, and will make the owner angry. Maybe I will always go around in this circle in the end, and there will never be any hope." Twilight While talking, I got confused first, and then started to give examples inexplicably, but fortunately, this time, I quickly found the conclusion, and said to Zhou Yu with a smile, "But I thought about it later, fortunately, I met His Highness. , This may be the so-called stupid people have stupid blessings."

Zhou Ji heard that he was more loudly happy, but he suddenly sat up and hugged Twilight tightly into his arms.Twilight did not speak, but responded to Zhou Ji and hugged him tightly.

"Little fool."

"Ok?"

"Little fool."

"Ah."

"It's pretty silly."

"Ah."

The slightly sweaty warmth from Twilight's body finally warmed Zhou Ji's icy body. In the second half of the night, Zhou Ji never relived the agony of that life after life. He lay his pillow in Twilight's arms, smelling The unique sweet and greasy smell on his body fell into a deep sleep, and he had a dream of hiding in the Shouchang Palace with Mu Hui and stealing milk crisps, but Zhou Ji caught him and taught him a good lesson.

A night of sweet dreams is no match for Risheng, and Zhou Ji was awakened by the dazzling sun.Reluctantly turned over but turned directly to the side of the bed, there was no one around, Zhou Yu closed his eyes and shouted: "Twilight?!"

A burst of light footsteps came from far and near, followed by the familiar sweet smell and a slightly timid voice: "Your Highness, are you awake?"

"Hmm." Zhou Ji covered his eyes with his hands, and asked very annoyed, "Is it the sun again today?"

"Yes, but it's not as hot as yesterday, and the wind under the shade of the tree is a bit cooler."

"Then it will be cooler at night."

"What Your Highness said is true." Twilight hung up the bed curtain, "However, His Highness has been cold in the past few nights."

"Hungry Ghost Festival is very cloudy." Zhou Ji sat up and stretched, "It will be fine after a few days."

"Then is your Highness still uncomfortable?"

"Annoying." Zhou Ji pointed to his head, "Never-ending chatter."

"I didn't expect to be able to hear it so far away from Reincarnation Lake." Twilight said honestly, "It's better to stay in the World Spirit Hall as a rule, at least it will be cooler."

"That's not true." Zhou Ji moaned, brushing his hair, "It's such a waste that I deliberately found an excuse to sue for the Zhongyuan Festival."

Twilight smiled when she heard this, and caught up with Zhou Ji's hair with a ribbon, then asked, "What would your Highness want to eat?"

"It's so hot that I don't have an appetite." Zhou Yu got out of bed and walked to the window, frowned and looked at the big sun outside the window, and said, "Eat something light."

"Then cook a bowl of lotus leaf porridge for Your Highness." Twilight said and brought a cup of mint tea to Zhou Ji.

"Okay." Zhou Ga picked up the tea, and before it was delivered to his mouth, he was startled by a door knock, his hand shook, and all the tea in the cup was spilled.

Twilight was also taken aback, caressing her beating heart and looking at the person who came, it turned out to be Wu Changan running in in a hurry.

"You're going to die!" Zhou Ji swung the water in his hand and cursed at Wu Chang'an, "What are you doing in such a panic?!"

"Your Highness, it's not good!" Wu Chang'an said out of breath, sweating all over his head, "General Master Su sent a letter saying that today's sacrifice is over, and the holy driver will come to the palace first on his way back from the World Spirit Hall. It should be evening."

"Ah?!" Zhou Yu's face was full of disbelief, "What is the father doing here?"

"I don't know. No envoy has come to deliver the decree yet. It's a letter secretly delivered by General Master Su." Wu Chang'an swallowed, "His Royal Highness, hurry up and prepare."

"What is this king planning?" Zhou Yu said angrily, "It's you, hurry up and do whatever you want!"

"No." Wu Changan stomped his feet anxiously, "The concubine is not in the mansion, Your Highness has to hurry to pick her up!"

"Where did she go?" Zhou Ji asked, and immediately patted his forehead before Wu Changan could answer, "Yes, I remembered, I sent her to Nanluzhai to escape the summer heat, then send... ..." Zhou Yu habitually looked at Twilight, originally wanted to tell Twilight, but unexpectedly saw Twilight's frightened face, and subconsciously shook his head slightly.Zhou Ga was stunned for a moment, remembering Shen's usual criticisms of Twilight, and suddenly stopped talking, standing there motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Highness..." Wu Chang'an waited for a long time but did not wait for Zhou Yu's order. He couldn't bear it anymore and asked, "Who are you sending?"

"There is no need to send anyone."

"Your Highness wants to go in person?!" Wu Changan was very surprised.

"I don't want to go when it's too hot!" Zhou Ji put down the teacup and made an astonishing decision, "There's no need to pick her up."

"Your Highness!" Wu Changan became anxious immediately, and shouted in a stern voice, "You can't do this!"

"What's wrong?" Zhou Yu was also anxious, "How dare you yell at me?!"

"I risked my life to dissuade His Highness!" Wu Chang'an put on a righteous look, and said righteously, "The sage is coming to the mansion, but the princess does not come to pick him up. This is disrespectful and unethical!"

"This king is etiquette!" Zhou Yu showed his usual unscrupulousness, and gave the order decisively, "Stop talking nonsense, it's settled like this, you hurry up and get busy with the pick-up."

"Your Highness!" Wu Chang'an wanted to persuade him again, but was roughly interrupted by Zhou Kai.

"Shut up." Zhou Ji pointed at the door and said without a doubt, "Do your job!"

Wu Chang'an stared at Zhou Ga for a long time, but there was nothing he could do, so he sighed fiercely and walked out angrily.

"Your Highness..." Twilight approached and cautiously persuaded, "Changli Wu is right, I still have to bring the princess back, or I will go."

"No need." Seeing Twilight's trembling look, Zhou Ji felt pain in his heart, and said softly, "It's not because of you that I didn't pick her up, I have other intentions."

"What does Your Highness want to do?" Twilight saw Zhou Kai's confidence, but felt guilty. After thinking about it, he expressed his uneasiness, "Have you thought about it, Your Highness? The emperor wants His Highness to inherit the throne with all his heart. That's why he tolerated His Highness in every possible way, but His Highness has been trying to wear down the patience of the emperor. If one day he is pushed into a hurry, and he gets angry, he doesn't care about those things. At that time, what will His Highness do? "

Mu Shi's words seemed to be thoughtless, but Zhou Yu could hear the thoughtful worry from it, warm and relieved, stretched out his hand to scratch Mu Shi's nose, and asked with a smile: "Are you worried about me?"

"Ah."

"worry about what?"

"It's just..." Twilight thought hard, and struggled to choose an appropriate statement, "I always feel that the current status of His Highness, life and death are at the discretion of the emperor."

"I know, so I've been trying my best to avoid the sharp edge." Zhou Ji said in a soft tone, and said slowly, "I've been looking for a compromise."

"What method?" Danfeng's eyes in the twilight were full of confusion, "Did your Highness find it?"

"Soon." Zhou Ji looked at the poisonous sun that seemed to be able to burn everything into ashes, and said as if talking to himself, "I guess the emperor is here for this."
