The masked man was silent.

Suddenly, a child's cry came from the house: "Mother, where are you?" Mother! ”

Hearing this voice, the masked man's body froze, and he wanted to push the door in, but the woman in the room said, "What do you want to do?" ”

The masked man's hand was fixed in the air and whispered, "I want to go in and see her." ”

The woman said firmly, "No! ”

The masked man said anxiously, "But, she is my ......"

"Don't forget your promise." The woman lowered her voice and interrupted him mercilessly, "You said that you would not let her see this image of yours, and you would never let her know who you were. ”

"Mother, where have you been?" The child in the house cried even harder, "Asaka is so scared. ”

"Don't be afraid, the concubine is here." The woman raised her voice and shouted, then lowered her voice towards the door, "If you want to see her, change your outfit to come in." ”

The masked man stared at the door that was still closed for a long time, sighed and withdrew his hand, and slowly left with his head down.

What kind of sorrow will it be for a person to completely abandon his past, carry all the sins and continue to live as someone else, and even, when the person he loves the most is standing in front of him, but can only get along with each other as a stranger who has nothing to do with him? That's the pain that can't be said to words, but it's tormenting back and forth in my heart all the time, right?

The moon sets and the stars sink, and dawn is approaching.

At this darkest time, Luo Guiren, who had not slept all night, sat in front of the window in despair, looking at the darkness outside the window and weeping.

The bed covered with brocade quilt was cold and cold, and it was difficult to sleep alone in the long cold night. Loneliness, loss, sadness, resentment, all kinds of complex emotions tightly surrounded Luo Guiren, and she was almost out of breath. She couldn't break free from the shackles in her heart, so she had to weep alone in this seemingly endless night with deep thoughts of the man who was high up, unwilling, resentful, unwilling, but helpless.

A faint sigh came from behind Luo Guiren.

"Who?" Luo Guiren jumped up in surprise and looked around, but her wide eyes only saw thick blackness.

"The beauty rolls the beaded curtain and sits deeply with frowning eyebrows."

A ghostly male voice sounded softly from her side. She was so frightened that she took a few steps back, and when she was about to call someone, she suddenly felt numb on her body, and then she found that she couldn't shout and her body couldn't move.

The ghostly voice floated behind him, and continued to recite the unfinished poem: "But when I see the tears wet, I don't know who I hate." ”

After reading it, there was another long sigh. The lamp on the table suddenly lit up, but there was not half a figure in sight.

"What about you? Whom does your heart hate? A masked man slowly turned out from behind Luo Guiren, stood in front of her, and gently wiped away the undried tears on her face, "Do you hate?" ”

Luo Guiren looked at the person in front of him like a ghost in horror, and cold sweat couldn't stop coming out, and he couldn't say a word.

The masked man smiled softly, looked down into Luo Guiren's eyes and said, "Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you." On the contrary, I will help you, help you regain the emperor's heart, help you get rid of the little eunuch who occupies the emperor's favor, and help you become a woman who everyone is jealous and envious again, how about it? ”

The pair of eyes under the mask that seemed to be able to see through other thoughts, and the words that sounded very attractive made Luo Guiren's fear lessened a little, and she looked at the masked man suspiciously, trying to find the answer from the other party's body.

The masked man clicked on Luo Guiren's dumb hole and said, "If you don't understand, you can ask me." ”

"Who are you? Why help me? What do you want from me? Luo Guiren looked at him with distrust.

The masked man said calmly: "It doesn't matter who I am, it doesn't matter why I help you, the important thing is that without the emperor's favor, you will only be a pitiful worm who is nothing, bullied and white-eyed in this cold harem." ”

Luo Guiren didn't say anything.

The masked man continued: "Are you willing to lose to a little eunuch? Are you willing to die lonely in this deep palace? Are you willing to give up your love for the emperor? ”

Luo Guiren bit her lip, her eyes gradually filled with resentment, and after a while, she gritted her teeth and said, "No, I am unwilling, I am unwilling!" ”

Looking at her resentful and unwilling, the masked man smiled and said, "There is no one in this palace who can help you except me." I don't want anything out of you, I just want to help you. ”

Luo Guiren was a little shaken: "I, why should I believe you?" ”

The face man asked rhetorically, "Is there anyone else you can trust?" ”

Luo Guiren was silent for a moment and whispered, "No." ”

The masked man unlocked the other acupoints on her body and said, "Think carefully about whether you want to believe me, and I'll come back to you tonight." ”

"No!" Luo Guiren called out to the masked man, his eyes revealing a resolute gaze, "I believe in you!" As long as you can help me, I will repay you well and give you everything you want! ”

The masked man smiled and said, "Good." I don't want you to reciprocate, I just want you to obediently follow my instructions. ”

"I'll do whatever you ask!" Luo Guiren said anxiously.

"Don't worry, I'll come to you when the time is right." After the masked man finished speaking, Luo Guiren only felt that as soon as there was a flower in front of him, he disappeared without a trace.

Is it a dream? No! The lit lamp on the table was evidence that someone had been there. Luo Guiren turned around and looked out the window at the sky that was beginning to whiten, clenched his fists and said softly, "Your Majesty, I can't lose you." ”

On the day when Bei Juese was bullied by Princess Chaoxia, after Zhu Yijun escorted him back, he gave an order to the little mouse and other related eunuchs: Before the injury of Bei Gonggong healed, he could not walk out of the small courtyard where the senior eunuch lived half a step. If he is accidentally allowed to get out, all the people who take care of him will be punished.

In this way, Bei Juese was very depressed and was placed under house arrest in disguise, helplessly staying in his own high-end independent suite as an obedient baby to recuperate, sitting in front of the window looking at the scenery outside and waiting for mold.

Two days after he was placed under house arrest.

Seeing the sullen appearance of the little junior brother, Dong Wuving, a hero who has the ability to fly around the wall without a trace, enthusiastically proposed: "Senior brother, if you want to go out, I can help." ”

Bei Juese shook his head and said, "Don't bother you, Senior Brother." I don't want to hurt the little mice and they are innocently punished, at most my injuries will heal in a few days, and then I can go out then. Don't worry, brother, I may be able to finish it all in advance within a month. ”

Hearing him say this, Dong Wushu didn't say anything anymore.

Then, at the point where Dong Invincible went out to patrol around, the elusive Song Gongbao got in through the mouse hole.

Bei Juese glanced at Song Gongbao angrily and asked, "It's you again?" ”
