Chen Ci hugged her for a moment, then patted her on the back like a mother urging a child and said, "Okay, it's time for you to go to bed, you have to go on your way tomorrow."

Speaking of this, there was a trace of worry in his warm eyebrows: "You worked so hard for that prince."

"Because he died for me, I don't want to owe him."

"You said before that you would go back with him...that was a lie to him, right?"

"of course."

Only then did Chen Ci's face improve a little: "I was in the house just now, and I was behind the screen. In fact, I knew that you were just comforting him and trying to calm him down, but after hearing what you promised him, I was still a little angry uncontrollably."

Lin Yu patted him on the back comfortingly: "Aci."

"Ok?"

"I want to save Zhu Rongzhan, so as long as Cang Tao is willing to hand over the antidote, I'm willing to promise him anything."

Chen Ci frowned and hugged her even tighter.

"...Of course, saying this is actually just expressing my determination. I'm not a person without measure. If there are too many reasons, I will refuse according to the situation. However, I will do my best... ...As long as I can give, I am willing to give. You...do you understand?"

"The grace of sacrificing one's life...is as mountainous as the sea." Chen Ci whispered, "I know."

He was silent for a moment, let her go, and then took out a jade tablet from his sleeve.

Lin Yu asked puzzled, "What is this?"

"It's the token of the general of the Mantis Arm Army. You take this and go to Shuyu Xiangfang in the capital to order. The entire army of the Mantis Arm Army can be mobilized with you."

Lin Yu's eyes widened slightly: "This thing is too important, I can't take it!"

"I trust you, Ayu, I trust you will make good use of it."

She wanted to push it back into his hand, but Chen Ci shook his head and refused to accept it.

"And... since Zhu Rongzhan is kind to you, he is kind to me. You said you will do your best, so naturally I will do my best."

"But, the Mantis Army... is your foundation!"

"It's our foundation." Chen Ci corrected: "To change the world, this is the dream of the two of us, isn't it?"

Looking into his eyes, Lin Yu bit his lip.

"So, you know how to use our mantis arm properly, right?"

"……Um."

"Protect yourself."

"Ah."

"Okay, go back to your room and go to sleep."

"What about you? Do you want to continue to daze outside?"

"I..." Chen Ci paused, "Actually, as long as I think of you leaving early tomorrow morning, I won't be able to fall asleep."

"Oh—so you waited for me in this yard on purpose?" Lin Yu pulled out his voice and looked at his expression carefully: "What I said to Zhu Rongzhan today, you are obviously unhappy, and you obviously have a lot of questions in your heart to ask I, in the end, had to bear it, and said something like 'Ayu don't need to say it if you don't want to say it', and then stood alone in my yard, pretending to be open-minded, okay?"

"Hmm." Chen Ci pretended not to admit it. "not like this."

"Really? You can't lie to me."

"...well, a little bit."

"Just a little bit? What a little bit?"

But Chen Ci refused to say any more, he blushed in embarrassment and said, "Okay, go to sleep!"

"I can not sleep."

"What should I do?"

"How about you sing to me?"

Chen Ci was slightly taken aback.

"Do you remember the song I taught you before?"

"Can not remember."

Lin Yu's eyes widened immediately, "Really?"

"I lied to you."

He accompanied her back to the room, watched her get into bed again, sat on the edge of the bed, held her hand, and hesitated for a moment. "I haven't sung it for a long time. If...the tune is wrong, Ayu, don't laugh at me."

Lin Yu frowned and looked at him expectantly: "No."

Chen Ci sang in a low voice. At first, his voice was a little jerky because he hadn't opened his voice for a long time, but he quickly found the feeling: "The palace in the south city, look at the bright moon in the north. The skylark is covered with spring snow, she starts to write and stops, The signature is pending, and a few tears are faintly shed. However, she didn't intend to, but accidentally stepped into the spring flowers and autumn moon, and her thoughts turned into butterflies in the starry night..."

Lin Yu closed his eyes.

"The thread of love is wrapped in a few rolls, it is not suitable to be ignited, and the infatuation turns into smoke... I took a pen and left her between the lines, and knelt with her in front of the Buddha without any distracting thoughts, asking for a lottery lottery. Before flowering? The sandalwood floated through the curtain to the pillow, writing in the front yard to keep her sleeping peacefully all night..."

A smile played on her lips.

"She smiled lightly and half covered her face with her sleeves. I shook my head so that I was ashamed. The turbid wine can relieve the wind and dust, and the general can have a good time. Horseshoes wading through the town, but the king will not return..."

"...how do you still remember?"

Chen Ci lowered his head and kissed her hair.

"I remember everything about you."

……

When Lin Yu woke up the next day, she realized that she had fallen asleep at some point last night.

It's amazing...

She subconsciously turned her head to look at the bedside, Chen Ci was gone, only the jade token he gave her was left beside the pillow.

Also, with his personality, he couldn't spend the night in her room justifiably.

The sky outside the window had already turned pale. Although Lin Yu was still a little groggy due to sleeping late, Lin Yu lay down on the bed, making sure that he could no longer fall asleep, so he simply sat up.

As soon as she went out, Shu Yin suddenly appeared in front of her.

Lin Yu was startled: "Morning."

Shu Yin frowned tightly: "My lord didn't sleep all night."

"?"

"He was afraid that you would lack supplies on the way, so he arranged for his subordinates to set up a supply point on the way back to Beijing overnight to ensure that you would be taken care of every once in a while on the way. If you are hungry, you will have food, if you are thirsty, you will have water to drink, if you are cold, you will have new clothes, It's hot and there are ice cubes..."

"..."

"But you! You stayed with other men at night! I saw it all!"

"I thought you were asleep."

"We have our way of sleeping."

"You can stay up at night, right? Did you eavesdrop on our conversation?"

"I'm your guard, I can't leave you too far, I can only hear you."

"I can only hear it? Are you quite reluctant? Then you told your son?"

Shu Yin said confidently: "That's natural!"

"Did your son say anything?"

"understood."

"what?"

"My son just said 'I got it'."

Lin Yu looked up at the sky, then sighed, "I'll go see your son."

"Okay, okay," Shu Yin nodded again and again: "If there is any misunderstanding, you should hurry up and explain it to him. I'll take you there!"

Under the dim sky, the candles in the courtyard where Li Ying lived were brightly lit, as if they had not been extinguished all night.

And he was wearing a bamboo hat and sitting on a grand teacher's chair in the courtyard, listening to a servant beside him reading a paper book like a gift list.

"My lord!" Shu Yin knelt down and saluted, "Young Lady said she would come to see you."

The bamboo hat shook slightly. Li Ying seemed to have closed her eyes before, but now she opened them.

He stood up, his voice was weaker than usual: "Why did Ayu wake up so early?"
