My Master Jinyiwei

Chapter 86

It was snowing all over the sky, and the night was cold and windy.Green tiles fly behind the distant city tower.The whole of Yejing was sleeping soundly, and the big beast never woke up.In the sky and on the earth, there must be an elegy behind the countless iron and blood, and in the sky on earth, the loneliest thing, dragging behind the soul, will only be an elegy.

The falling snow turns into frost, and the sky and the earth are white.The fighting between the soldiers and the army seemed to have frozen, looking at the dead beauty in the arms of the young man, they were all silent.

Shen Yu slowly hugged Xu Shijin whose body temperature was cooling down a little bit, he bent down, bent his shoulders, and pressed her closer to his arms.Frost condensed on his eyelashes, cold and cold.He just hugged her, his face was stiff, and he couldn't say a word.

Xu Shijin said that she was selfish.She doesn't want him to die for her.

He worked hard to save her, but she would rather die in front of him and end everything.

She is selfish, so a person like him deserves to be tortured by her.

From small to large, from small to large... When she was young, she was like this; when she grew up, she was still like this.

But even if it's selfish, he likes it.Whether she is good or bad is in his eyes.His pain or joy is voluntary.But what if she's not here?
It's like falling into a nightmare, the road to heaven is vast, and the way home is gone.Fragmented and brutally frozen.He hid from one dream to another, and fear followed him like a shadow, and he couldn't escape no matter what.Time was frozen at the moment of her death, he just stared blankly, forgetting all the words.Time stood still, only he was still evading in vain, shuffling his steps, trying to find a way out, like a lonely ghost.He looked back and everything was gone.

Shen Yu stretched out his frozen hand to wipe off the blood and water on Xu Shijin's face.She slept peacefully, as beautiful as ever.

He looked at her, looked at her deeply, and glanced at her again and again.

Wholeheartedly, never forgetting.He was convinced that he loved Xu Shijin, very sure.In this world, what he likes most is her, and he likes her more than the whole world.She smiles or weeps, she looks at him or not at her, she lives or she dies.He liked her anyway.

He just looked at her, and tenderness welled up in his heart.

She left and took his soul with her.

Shen Yu lowered her head wow, spitting out more blood.In fact, he has no expression on his face, and everything around him has nothing to do with him.

Liu Wang has been watching quietly, from Xu Shijin's appearance to Xu Shijin's death.That girl was breaking his heart.She died, and his heart was empty.When he walked into the palace again and walked in the familiar corner of the palace, no girl looked at him with admiring eyes, as if she was carving her favorite handicraft.

Liu Wang raised the arrow in his hand, held it up, and pointed it at Shen Yu.

"The imperial decree has arrived—" At this moment, a group of knights rushed from the direction of the city gate, and the elongated announcement broke the silence of the entire space.

The prince was slightly stiff, and had to put down the bow and arrow in his hand.Get off your horse and turn your head back, and lead all the officials and soldiers to meet His Majesty's imperial edict together.His mind was in a mess, and when he saw Qing Yaya's Jin Yiwei's clothes, he already had a bad feeling.When he met the eyes of the leader, his heart sank.

Shen Yan.

"Your Majesty has an order to immediately announce that the Commander of Jinyiwei will envoy Shen Yu into the palace, accompanied by the seventh daughter of the Xu family. The case of the seventh son of the emperor has made new progress, which needs further verification." Shen Yan brought His Majesty's cronies.

When he saw the cold corpse in Shen Yu's arms, his heart froze for a moment, and something flashed in his mind.He ordered in a deep voice, "Even Miss Xu...has to enter the palace."

"Follow the holy will." The prince led the crowd and accepted the imperial edict.After standing up straight, he looked at Shen Yan, his eyes were more inquiring.

Mr. Shen let him look at him calmly, with a calm expression, without squinting.

A quarter of an hour later, the gates of Yejing opened wide, and a column of knights followed the crown prince into the capital.Bringing back the fugitive also ended the hunt.All the results will be decided in front of the Holy Spirit.When passing through the city gate, Shen Yan suddenly felt something. He raised his head and saw a beautiful girl leaning on the high city wall, looking down at everything.

Her eyes met his.

It is his wife, Princess Anhe, Liu Ling.

"Master Shen?" Seeing that Master Shen's horse took a step behind, Luo Fan unconsciously followed, following Shen Yan's gaze and looking up.But the back of his head was swept away, he bowed his head in pain, and looked at Master Shen without feeling resentment.

Shen Yan reprimanded, "Don't be distracted."

"..." It's obviously you, my lord, who is distracted!
Luo Fan dared not speak out, under Shen Yan's surveillance, he forcibly did not look back.But after walking a long way, he turned his head inadvertently, and saw a faintly bright figure standing on the wall of the city gate, watching everything quietly.But the distance was too far, and when he was searching, he couldn't see the appearance of that person clearly.

Standing on the wall of the Ye capital city were indeed guards such as Liu Ling and Yang Ye.

All the guards stood with the princess in the cold wind for a long time.The wind in the cold night was blowing at her body like a knife. Liu Ling stood on the wall, looking at the sky full of snow, wondering what she was thinking.Her back looked lonely, leaving everyone far behind by herself.She didn't look at anyone, she didn't speak, she was as silent as she had been in countless moments over the years.

Since meeting Shen Yan, Liu Ling has learned a lot.But in essence, when she was alone, she was still that cold person.

At the beginning, Yang Ye asked her, "Ms. Xu's place, why don't we go and have a look?"

Liu Ling shook her head, "I never go to see how other people die."

She stood upstairs, just waiting for a hope.

She didn't wait for the news of Xu Shijin's safety, she only saw Shen Yan leaving the city and then entering the city, bringing back everyone who had left.The back and forth time was so fast that there was almost no pause... Liu Ling glanced at the gray sky and said, "She is dead, let's go back."

When she turned her head, she still didn't have much expression, but her face seemed paler than when she came.

The wind blew with snow and flew into her eyes.The eyes were sore for a moment, and the eye sockets suddenly turned red, which was very fast.But after all, he suppressed it, let the mist in his eyes cool down a little bit in the wind.

At that time, Xu Shijin said, "A Ling, goodbye."

Liu Ling looked at her with a cold expression, "No goodbye. I never say goodbye."

It seems that if you don't say goodbye, you don't have to say goodbye.

It seems that without saying goodbye, they are still the same as before, nothing has changed.

Liu Ling stood in the cold wind of the tall building for a while, then turned around calmly and resolutely, and went down the tower.When she walked onto the streets of Yejing, the wind and snow roared, her steps were difficult and slow.Time is divided here, and along the opposite direction, a farther and farther path is pulled out.

Never look back.

This first snow fell for three whole days.The whole of Yejing was shrouded in a cold world.The snow fluttered and sprinkled, falling on the top of the mountain, on the flagpole, on the green tiles of the imperial city, and on the green wall of Xiaohu.It travels through time and space and falls on all people, including life and death.

Great changes are taking place in Yejing. The common people live and work in peace and contentment, but the upper class can feel it.Shen Yan became very busy and almost lived in the palace.Liu Ling paid no attention to this, she herself was waiting for news.

At this time, in a large hall of the imperial palace, the flames of the Panlong Candlestick flickered, the long blanket stretched infinitely, the beaded curtain shook, and a middle-aged man stood in front of the wide open window.He was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a black emperor's crown on his head. The jade ring was hanging down, and the bead string under it was shaking, completely covering up his expression.There were no rows of officials behind him, and he didn't say anything or do anything, but he just stood here. The overwhelming momentum made people palpitate, and he didn't dare to face him directly.

At this time, the emperor lightly tapped on the window lattice with his fingers, looking at the whiteness of the sky and the earth.Behind the curtain, Fei Yu's formally dressed Shen Yan stood upright like a pine, and explained everything concisely.

After a long period of silence, the emperor said in a deep voice, "For this seat, I gave in every step of the way, but he was too much. It doesn't matter if he plots against the world. As an emperor, I don't stick to it. But I will give everything to you." Even after leaving him, he is still not satisfied, even his own younger brother will not be let go... My heart is chilling."

When the emperor said this, Shen Yan was of course silent.

On the other hand, Chen Shizhong reluctantly said a word for the prince, "The evidence sent by the clan's house all pointed to the dead Miss Xu, and had nothing to do with His Highness. Perhaps the prince was not involved in the matter of the seventh prince."

"Not participating does not mean ignorance," the emperor said softly, "He is good at taking advantage of the situation. If it is not necessary, not everything requires him to do it himself."

Chen Shizhong stopped talking.

The emperor was a little tired, and murmured, "I really can't figure it out. For so many years, I have never favored the prince next to me, just to give him hope. I taught him since childhood, supported him wholeheartedly, and never brought him hidden dangers and crises. The reason for the extermination of the previous dynasty was that the emperors took over the throne. Feeling this, since I succeeded to the throne, all obstacles have been swept away for him. No one competed with him for the throne, no one threatened him... But just like this, he still Not satisfied! A child who is only one year old, he can do it! I see that he is getting more and more courageous, and his bottom line is getting weaker and weaker!"

He sighed, "Unfortunately, among my princes, I only left him behind."

After focusing on training for so many years, I never expected...

Shen Yan said, "Perhaps it is because there is no crisis, and there has never been an opponent, that His Highness can do whatever he wants. If His Majesty hadn't been acquiescing, His Highness would not have dared to stretch out his hand to a child who has not yet grown up—in his eyes, maybe this is just a cute child. No one will do anything to a toy that is wiped out at will."

"Shen Yan, be bold! How dare you say such things to His Majesty?! Are you accusing Your Majesty?!" Chen Shizhong said angrily, scolded his subordinates, and pleaded guilty to His Majesty on behalf of his subordinates.

His Majesty was not angry, but only looked at Shen Yan with a half-smile, "It's okay, I can understand Mr. Shen's mood at the moment. The case of his brother's robbery caused heavy losses to the Shen family. Miss Xu, who died, had a relationship with A Ling again. Very sincere. Thinking about Mr. Shen's recent visit, he is not a human being inside and out, so I am very aggrieved."

Shen Yanhan kept silent.

His Majesty found it interesting to see Shen Yan, who was usually resolute and courageous, showing such a dull look, and the haze of the past few days seemed to be swept away, making him feel better.

"Your Majesty, do you want to accuse the crown prince?" Chen Shizhong asked cautiously when he saw that His Majesty was slowing down.

The emperor's mood was bad again, and he said in a low voice, "What crime are you asking? Do you have evidence? Based on the story of Shen Yan's few words, you want me to order the crown prince? Shen Yan's story is indeed wonderful, but how can I believe it? The higher the pitch, the higher his voice, and he swung his sleeves, and a memorial was thrown on the faces of the two of them, and he said angrily, "Look at you Jinyiwei! The recent impeachment papers are almost piling up into mountains! The commander of Jinyiwei, the highest official of Jinyiwei Commander robbing prison! Man court civil and military, all watching you!"

"I'm guilty!" Chen Shizhong knelt down.

"Shen Yan, tell me!" The emperor slapped the window lattice, his voice still high with anger, "What should I do?!"

Shen Yan looked up, "Kill."

"..." The emperor choked back at his words, and turned to Chen Shizhong, the commander of Jinyiwei, "Who is going to kill? Master Chen, you?!"

"..." Sweat dripped from Chen Shizhong's forehead, and he begged dryly, "I'm terrified."

The emperor said unhappily, "Shen Yan, you are demoted to one level, and you can go back to be your Beizhen Fushi. Let me go and think about my mistakes behind closed doors!"

"Yes," Shen Yan said, after a moment of silence, he asked again, "What about Shen Yu?"

The emperor looked at him in surprise, "Didn't he be dismissed from his official position, and he will never be hired? What else do you want to do? Are you going to drive your cousin to death?"

Shen Yan, who had been expressionless since entering the palace, smiled lightly at this moment, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Well," the emperor looked out the window for a long time, and added, "The Shen family's 'loyalty, filial piety, propriety and righteousness' plaque will be withdrawn, and all officials on duty in the Shen family will not be allowed to go to court for three months; During the year, there will be no salary."

"Yes." Shen Yan replied.

The emperor pondered for a long time, and called Chen Shizhong, "You come to draw up the decree. This matter is handled like this..."

Three days later, His Majesty's imperial decree on the case was released:
Xu Shijin murdered the Seventh Prince, there is no personal evidence or material evidence, the investigation should have continued, but Miss Xu is dead, the case is sealed and cannot be brought up again;

His Majesty revoked the plaque of the Shen family, Shen Yu's official position was revoked, and he left Beijing immediately.

Because of Ms. Xu's identity as a suspect, the Xu family was also guilty, and the crown princess was withdrawn, Xu Shijin was not allowed to enter the Xu family's tomb, and she was not allowed to sacrifice after her death;

Concubine Shu's body was sent back to the Lu family for burial.

Failed to prevent Shen Yu from robbing the prison in the first place, the clan's family was guilty of the same crime, and sentenced to...

Ministry of War, sentence...

The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, sentenced to...

Jinyi Guards, sentenced to...

... The decree is very long, and almost everyone involved in this case, more or less, received the crime, knelt down, and thanked the emperor.

The Xu family let go of that tone for a long time.Back at the family, everyone looked at each other with wry smiles.The patriarch made a speech and transcribed His Majesty's imperial decree. Let's hold a meeting and study together to see what His Majesty means.

"It's gone?" Before the Lu family received the imperial edict, they thought the Xu family would suffer a big loss, but it turned out that there was nothing serious, and everyone was dumbfounded.Moreover, Xu Shijin murdered the prince!Shen Yu is a prison robber!Xu Shijin is a fugitive!But look at this imperial decree, although the Shen family has a long list of punishments, but if you look carefully, is it called punishment?Shen Yu committed such a serious crime, was he just dismissed from office?

"Shen Yan must have tampered with it!" Thinking of Jin Yiwei's unusual attitude that night, the Lu family said viciously.

They couldn't sit still anymore, and hurried to visit His Highness the Crown Prince——Your Highness, this is different from what we planned at the beginning.

Like everyone else, when the imperial decree was issued and fell in front of him, Liu Wang's face darkened a little bit.For one afternoon, he sat alone in the dark of the house, not allowing anyone to disturb him.

People from the Lu family came to visit cautiously, hoping to learn more about the situation from His Highness.

Seeing them, the prince sneered, "What do you mean? I'm also very curious." He gritted his teeth and narrowed his eyes, "In order to keep the Shen family, what did Shen Yan say to the emperor to make the emperor make such an order? "

His Majesty's edict, which was raised high and lowered gently, was like a joke, filling all his righteous indignation before, and turning it into a child's fight.The prince's face was burning hot. He hadn't entered the palace. At this time, what he was most afraid of seeing was the indifferent father.

The crown prince chose to meet Shen Yan, the commander of Jin Yiwei, and Master Shen.No, because of Shen Yu's involvement, Mr. Shen is no longer the commander, and has returned to serve in the Fusi of Beizhen.

Shen Yan handed over a piece of information to the prince, with a blank expression on his face, "After the investigation by Jin Yiwei, Miss Xu was charged with killing the Seventh Prince, because the direct physical witnesses and witnesses have disappeared, and the indirect witnesses are not enough to convict Miss Xu. Concubine Shu has the same crime. The possibility of killing the Seventh Prince."

"Master Shen, are you joking with Gu?" Liu Wang was amused, "Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the Seventh Prince, how could she kill her own child with her own hands? Tigers do not eat their own children, Gu really doesn't understand how Jin Yiwei got it come to this ridiculous conclusion.”

Shen Yan ignored it and continued, "When the seventh prince died, Concubine Shu committed suicide by throwing herself into the lake. In this way, Concubine Shu's behavior may have been ordered by the Lu family. The Lu family murdered the prince. The crime is extremely serious, and it should be entered into the imperial edict. Prison interrogation."

"Oh? Then may I ask why the Lu family didn't go to prison?"

"No evidence."

Liu Wang narrowed his eyes and burst into laughter at Shen Yan's anger.No evidence?Jin Yiwei arrested people, when did it become necessary to have evidence?They always... Liu Wang was startled, realized something, and looked at Shen Yan coldly.

No evidence.

Yes, Shen Yan repeated it twice without proof.Concubine Shu is dead, Xu Shijin is dead, the reason for the Seventh Prince's death, all the evidence has disappeared, and it is impossible to prove that Xu Shijin is the murderer.

Jin Yiwei doesn't need to look at the evidence to arrest people, but his father always likes to ask for evidence.Therefore, no matter whether Xu Shijin killed the prince or not, he will not be convicted now; and the Lu family...his royal father is suspicious of the Lu family.

Liu Wang's heart was cold: Father suspected the Lu family, did he also suspect him?After all, in this case, he seemed a little too aggressive.

Liu Wang broke out in a cold sweat, feeling annoyed in his heart.Thinking about his actions these past few days, he was indeed too impatient.He had to be impatient, he was eager to convict Xu Shijin, and let that girl die... He knew that girl's methods too well, as long as Xu Shijin had a chance to get out of prison, she might come back.The prince had been a lover and a partner with Xu Shijin, and he didn't want to be rivals with Xu Shijin at all.

Then, he was probably showing his flaws with his father?

Liu Wang was panicked and thoughtful.He finally understood why this decree looked so weird; those who should be punished were punished, but none of them were severely punished.Because the person His Majesty really wants to punish is not within the scope of his punishment at all.He didn't attack the Lu family, and he didn't reprimand the prince; but he didn't mention these two factions, he already reminded them with an imperial decree.

His father is warning him: Because you are the crown prince, I am giving you face now, some things can be regarded as ignorance; but don't go too far, don't exceed my tolerance.I have always been tolerant to you, but that doesn't mean I've always been tolerant.

The prince broke out in a cold sweat.

He looked deeply at Shen Yan, gritted his teeth and said, "Master Shen, are you going to violate our previous contract and come face to face with Gu?" Liang was frightened, "Are you going to tear up the agreement? For Xiao Jin, for Shen Yu? You are dissatisfied with what Gu has done to them, so all previous cooperation with Gu has been withdrawn? If you do this, you are not afraid that Gu will sue you in front of the emperor." Do you want to pull you off the horse? You Jinyiwei have never been allowed to have any interests with the ministers of the court, and people with solitary status. As long as solitary is in front of the father... No, for the time being, solitary also has a handle. It's in your hands. You probably know more about Xiao Jin than Gu thinks. Mr. Shen, Gu is too kind to you!"

Shen Yan actually had something to say, but he found that he didn't need to say anything, the prince had already found all the reasons for him.To save him from wasting his tongue, he simply admitted, "What Your Highness said is true."

"...You!" Liu Wang's eyes were tearing, he wished he could kill him on the spot, he almost vomited blood because of his cold words, "You are playing with the whole Jinyiwei, I hope you will be more careful!"

Shen Yan was indifferent but distant, "Jin Yiwei didn't do anything."

"..." When the prince left Beizhen Fusi, his face was livid and his body was on the verge of falling, obviously very angry.When all the Jin Yiwei saw His Highness, they simply walked around, not daring to disturb him.

Xu Shijin's case involved a lot.Although the imperial decree has been issued, follow-up matters still need to be dealt with.Shen Yan didn't need to participate, but His Majesty ordered him to come in to accompany him.Mr. Shen was as busy as ever.When he returned to the mansion at night, he found that the mansion was brightly lit, but Liu Ling was not there.

"The princess said something happened, so she left a letter for the lord." Lingxi, who stayed behind, handed the letter to the lord Shen.

She looked at Master Shen sympathetically: since the princess came back that night, the princess and Master Shen have not spoken for a long time.The two of them talked by writing letters; moreover, in the past two days, the princess did not return home at all, and this letter was left two days ago.

Shen Yan tore open the letter, read it and then closed it.The letter is too short, there is nothing to read.

He didn't change his face and didn't comment on it.After entering the room and changing clothes, when he came out, he found that the maids were still dazed and busy, which left him speechless for a while.He asked, "Will the house fire at night?"

Lingbi blinked suspiciously, and suddenly remembered that they had already eaten dinner, and Shen Yan came back too late, so they hadn't eaten at all... Shen Yan was too busy, and after the princess was away from the house, everyone forgot about it, But Master Shen was forgotten.It's rare to see Mr. Shen go hungry in his own mansion.

Lingxi blushed with embarrassment, saluted hastily, and went to make arrangements.

Shen Yan has nothing to say, his mansion, which was changed by Liu Ling, is so strange.

Forget it, don't eat.

The original maid of the Shen residence came in with tea, saw that the room was deserted, and whispered, "My lord, did you know that the princess has been gone for two days. When the maid asked her that day, the princess also said that there is no need to leave a message for you. "

Shen Yan stood in front of the case, sorting out the files.Hearing this, he raised his head and glanced at the maid without emotion.

The maid continued to complain, "The princess is already married to you, but she never relies on you. She..."

"Why does she insist on relying on me?" Shen Yan asked curiously, without seeming to get angry.

The maid blinked blankly, "Shouldn't wives rely on their husbands? If they love each other, shouldn't girls rely on their lovers? Princess, when she goes out, she..."

"She never needs to rely on me, she is independent, not subordinate to me. She can do whatever she wants, and I will not interfere." Shen Yan closed the file, looked at the maid, her eyes turned cold, "And you, criticizing the Patriarch, I have to intervene."

The maid's face turned pale suddenly, and cold sweat broke out on her head.She found out that because Shen Yan hadn't been in the mansion for a long time, she joked with the princess when she came back, and they almost forgot that Mr. Shen is a very strict person.Mr. Shen is too lazy to manage the mansion, so he sets very strict rules. He wishes everyone would become dumb and foolish, so as not to affect him...

"Forgive me!" the maid could only beg.

Shen Yan naturally wouldn't give her a chance.

And Liu Ling, who was criticized by the maid, was already with Shen Yu several miles away.When Shen Yu was distraught and wanted nothing, and left Yejing with Xu Shijin's body, and went southward, Liu Ling and her guards followed all the way.

Shen Yu naturally knew that she was behind, but he ignored her as he pleased.

The sky is big and the earth is big, Shen Yu took Xu Shijin's body, but he didn't know where to go.

"Go to Pingzhou." One night, during the bonfire in the temple, Liu Ling came up and gave Shen Yu advice.

Pingzhou is less than two miles away, and Liu Ling hadn't talked to Shen Yu before, but she said this when she came up.

Shen Yu looked at her with a blank face.

Liu Ling lowered her eyes to see the girl in Mr. Shen's arms.She said, "Xiao Jin is not dead."

"...!" Shen Yu's indifferent expression became vivid in an instant. He stood up suddenly, his voice hoarse, "What do you mean?"

"Mr. Shen, before you came to me that night, I met Xiao Jin." Liu Ling said lightly, "Xiao Jin predicted her death, and I planned for her. Master Shen told me that There is no other way, let me go another way. Yue Ling begged to see me and asked if I could help her kill Lu Mingshan."

"What exactly are you talking about?" Shen Yu said with deep eyes, "Is there a medicine that can make you fake death? Is there really such a medicine in the world?"

He was very surprised.Because he has worked in Jinyiwei for so many years, Jinyiwei killed people like hemp, and met many people who must die.I have also tried the medicine of feigning death, but they can only stop breathing for a few breaths.Before a person dies, he has to stop for at least three days. There is never any medicine that can survive these three days.If there is such a medicine in the world, as the commander of Jin Yiwei, he would not be unaware of it.

Liu Ling smiled and looked outside the temple.

Yue Ling came to her and wanted to kill Lu Mingshan.At that time, Liu Ling was focused on saving Xu Shijin, so how could she care about Yue Ling?But by chance, the famous doctor in the mountains who had treated her in the early years came to Yejing, and his money was stolen, so he had to go to the government to ask her for help.The old doctor told her a strange thing. In the early years, when he was collecting herbs in the mountains, he met a monkey who died of eating herbs by mistake. He sighed in his heart and made a small tomb for the monkey.When he came back from collecting the medicine, he found that the monkey had come back to life, but it was dying.He was overjoyed and took the monkey home.Only three days later, the monkey was still dead.The old doctor did not give up, and for more than ten years, he has been looking for that kind of herbal medicine, researching whether there is a real fake death medicine in the world.

When Liu Ling heard him say this, her eyelids twitched slightly: she felt that this was an opportunity.

The old doctor shook his head, "Where is there any fake death medicine in the world? Didn't the monkey die in the end? I have studied for so many years, and I have killed so many wild animals and animals, but I haven't encountered a real one that survived. Princess, I'm afraid the old man was wrong. Well, in this world, there is no medicine that can make you fake your death."

Liu Ling still let him take the medicine.

This is probably Xu Shijin's only chance.

Seven days of suspension, at least seven days must be able to cheat.

Liu Ling always wanted to give the medicine to Xu Shijin, but Xu Shijin was in prison, and everything on her would be searched, so Liu Ling couldn't find a chance.When Shen Yu came to ask her about Xu Shijin's situation, Liu Ling realized that if Shen Yu was willing to protect him with his life, this was Xiaojin's chance.

When I went out that night, it snowed.Shen Yan entered the palace to ask for amulets for the Shen family.Liu Ling said she was going to the prison, but she actually left Yejing. According to the previous agreement with Shen Yu, she was waiting for Xu Shijin at the place arranged in advance.She thought that as long as she handed the medicine to Xu Shijin, she thought that Xu Shijin would be hunted down after he escaped from birth. This medicine could be Xu Shijin's last chance.

But Xu Shijin got the medicine, was silent for a while, and then turned back.

In the snowstorm, Xu Shijin said, "A Ling, you must be dedicated to acting. If I don't die in front of His Highness, he won't let Shen Yu go, and he won't let me go."

She said, "When I cut off everything with the prince, it's time to start again."

Liu Ling whispered, "But this kind of medicine may not make you really live."

Ms. Xu smiled, "A Ling, everything requires an adventure. Even in the life of ambushes, I will not give up if there is a chance. I want me to live, and I want him to live. Only when we are all alive can we have a chance. hope."

When she walked towards Shen Yu, she stood on the dividing line between the past and the future.When she crossed this line, she could really walk towards Shen Yu.

Xu Shijin whispered, "I will live."

Liu Ling narrated everything and told Shen Yu about Xu Shijin's plan.Tell Shen Yu that night, she stood on the city tower, imagining how her friends in the distance ended everything that existed.

Looking into the distance, Liu Ling thought of walking on the street with Xu Shijin during the Mid-Autumn Festival a few days before her wedding.

The streets are bustling with joy and happiness everywhere.The colorful lights streamer, the fireworks are brilliant, and the children run around the adults, harmonious and harmonious, as beautiful as a dream.

"It's rare to hang out with you in such a place, and it has a special flavor." Liu Ling and Xu Shijin walked side by side. They are beautiful, strolling on the bustling street, attracting many people to watch, "Xiaojin, do you still remember the previous festivals?" ?"

Xu Shijin shook her head. She looked around, stepped onto the floating bridge, and smiled, "No. I was quick-witted when I was young, and I regarded myself as an adult. After my parents passed away, no one got close to me. The patriarchs taught me that I was in Xu Shijin My parents grew up, and I could only rely on myself. I seldom come out on holidays. Later, when I entered the palace, I was cautious in everything, and I had no chance. I rarely have this kind of opportunity. Before Beijing, I am very grateful to come here with you, Ah Ling."

She stood on the bridge, looking at the boats and lanterns under the bridge, with a peaceful and beautiful smile.In the night wind, in the open fire, her smile was blurred.

"You never told me this. No matter how deep your heart is, you shouldn't hide it every day." Liu Ling lowered her head and saw a group of children carrying lanterns, passing by them with a smile.They squatted under the bridge and lit a strange kind of firecracker. As soon as the bamboo joints burned, they flew into the sky crackling.

Xu Shijin looked a little confused, "You're right. Over the years, although people have often praised me and many people seem to like me, in fact, they all regard me as a monster. They think that I am a girl who always plays with men. Manipulative, not crying or angry, always smiling, it looks abnormal. They say I am hypocritical, that I am femme fatale, and that I murder loyal ministers. In fact, everyone has a different personality, and I have always been like this, and I don’t think so. What's wrong with that. Whether it's happiness, anger, jealousy, or envy, I often feel that it's nothing. What's the benefit of being able to face it with a smile, being able to solve problems, and showing emotions?"

"Someone really likes you," Liu Ling said softly, "Xiao Jin, you have to wait."

In the breeze, Xu Shijin's voice seemed a little ethereal, "I don't really understand these things anymore. Over the years, I have spent a lot of energy on what I want. Now I find that it is not worth it for so many years. I rarely go to I don’t know what kind of friends to make, and I don’t know what true love is like. I’ve been looking for so many years, but I can’t find it. Even if I leave Yejing, I’m afraid it will be the same. I can only follow my heart and go down a little bit. .”

"Here in Yejing, there seems to be nothing worthy of my nostalgia. No one can't live without me, and no one really wants me to say goodbye."

"But I'm not that cold-blooded. As long as someone treats me well, I will return it ten times and a hundred times. I don't owe anyone favors, I am only sincere in this regard, even if I die for it, I will not hesitate."

"I know. You turned against the prince for me. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have made it this far."

"It's nothing, this is what I really want to do. Ah Ling, may I ask you one more thing?"

"Okay, you say."

"After I leave Beijing, please pay more attention to Shen Yu and Master Shen. Don't let others use him, don't let him get hurt, don't let him be different from now."

"..."

"It's ridiculous to say. I used to dislike him like this, but now I think it's good that he's always been like this."

Gradually, her voice became lower and lower until it became silent.

Shen Yu and Liu Ling stood in the temple in the wind, turned their heads, and looked at the sleeping young girl next to them.She was silent, in her sleep, without any movement.

And Liu Ling remembers the bridgehead that day.Xu Shijin's voice became smaller and smaller, they turned their heads, and in the night sky behind them, countless fireworks lit up in the sky, thousands of trees, fire trees and silver flowers, as bright as day and as beautiful as a dream.

"Eat mooncakes!" A group of children cheered and ran past them, blowing windmills.

Liu Ling's tears fell down.
