As the days passed, Li Xu finally got better, but ...... He seems to be a little different......

At night, Tang Mujin slept soundly, and when she turned over, she felt that her side was empty, and Li Xu was gone

Tang Mujin panicked all of a sudden, because she would only turn off the lights and sleep when Li Xu was by his side, in his arms, listening to his heartbeat, she could always sleep peacefully

But now it was dark and silent, and the wind outside blew through the treetops, and the bright moonlight came in through the window, and the swaggering trees swayed on the ground like the claws of evil spirits

Tang Mujin curled up in the corner, bit her lips, and scolded in her heart: Stinky boy, where did you run without sleep in the middle of the night!

The body couldn't help but tremble, and suddenly, the cry of an owl pierced the silent night sky, so frightened that Tang Mujin pulled the quilt over his head, shivered in the quilt, and cold sweat broke out behind his back

Tang Mujin thought secretly: Tang Mujin, you are really a failure, you are not afraid of the sky, you are not afraid of the earth, you are afraid of the dark! It's really unproductive!

But she can't help it, fear of the dark and loneliness is her innate weakness, which cannot be changed

Suddenly, a sound of footsteps drilled into Tang Mujin's ears, Tang Mujin lifted his heart, he didn't dare to breathe, and his heart was beating

"Why are you so tight? Isn't it too hot? Li Xu's familiar voice came

Tang Mujin immediately rolled out of the quilt, got into Li Xu's arms, hugged Li Xu's waist tightly, buried his head in Li Xu's chest, and scolded: "Stinky boy! Where did you die if you don't sleep in the middle of the night? Don't you know I'm afraid of the dark! ”

Li Xu chuckled, hugged Tang Mujin and moved inside, patted Tang Mujin's back and comforted: "I can't sleep, go out for a walk, I'm sorry."

Tang Mujin pouted and muttered, "I'm not afraid of running out in the middle of the night!" ”

Li Xu chuckled in a low voice: "Hehehe...... With you, that ghost dares to touch me?"

Tang Mujin smiled and said proudly: "That's for sure."

"Okay, let's sleep" Li Xu stroked Tang Mujin's long soft hair and said gently

Tang Mujin fell asleep again, but Li Xu stayed awake all night

He was thinking about why his name was no longer in the book of life and death, why he remembered the memory of Tang Mujin saving him when he was a child, and the smile that Tang Mujin smiled extremely gently in his memory although his face was covered with blood......

In the early morning, when Tang Mujin woke up, the people around her were gone, but now it was daytime, and she wouldn't be as cowardly as she was last night

Tang Mujin turned over, got out of bed, twisted his neck, his stiff joints creaked, twisted his waist again, and moved his muscles and bones

At this time, the door was opened, and Li Xu said angrily: "Such a big person, I don't know how to wear shoes, what should I do if I catch a cold?"

Tang Mujin grinned and said, "It's so hot, how can you catch a cold?"

Li Xu picked up Tang Mujin, put her back on the bed, put her shoes on intimately, and pinched Tang Mujin's small nose: "Hurry up and wash up"

Tang Mujin looked at Li Xu's doting eyes, smiled stupidly, Li Xu went out again, looking at Li Xu's back, he felt that something was wrong, Li Xu seemed to have changed

After breakfast, Tang Mujin wiped his mouth and said, "Qingfeng Lane hasn't opened for a long time, those tea leaves should be moldy, I'll go back and take care of it today."

Li Xu nodded and said lightly: "Well, you go"

Tang Mujin felt something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong with you today?"

Li Xu said strangely: "Huh? I don't think so."

"You're weird today, on weekdays, you're sticking to me, how can you ...... today" Tang Mujin looked at Li Xu strangely

Li Xu smiled and said, "Today, the mother emperor announced that I entered the palace, maybe I have something to look for, so I won't accompany you."

Tang Mujin nodded in disbelief: "Oh, then I'm leaving."

Li Xu smiled dotingly and said, "Come back early"

Tang Mujin replied dryly: "Oh! ”

As soon as she left, Li Xu dismissed the surrounding maids and guards to make sure that there was no one

Li Xu rolled up the sleeve of his left hand, and faintly saw some blue scale marks on his arm, and he felt a faint pain

What's even stranger is that there is no blood in his palm, and it is a little frighteningly pale

Since his injuries healed, his vision has become clearer, he can see things hundreds of miles away, and he can hear voices a foot away

Even at night, his vision is like day, and he can see it clearly

At first, Li Xu thought it might be a side effect of the elixir, but ...... Everything seemed to be going in an unknown direction, and he was running out of control

Tang Mujin hurriedly ran back again, so frightened that Li Xu hurriedly pulled down his sleeves to cover his arms, Tang Mujin ran into the room, took the Qiankun bag, saw Li Xu sitting there, and asked strangely: "Aren't you still in the palace?" ”

Li Xu pulled a smile: "I'll wait a while, I'll go right away"

Tang Mujin nodded, and left again, looking at Tang Mujin's lively figure, she had mixed feelings in her heart, and she didn't know whether to tell her or not......

Li Xu stayed in the study, looking at the scales on his arms in a daze, and the night gradually fell

Tang Mujin dragged his tired body back to the palace, and the housekeeper greeted him: "Princess, you are back, do you want the old slave to tell them to boil hot water for you and take a bath?"

Tang Mujin waved his hand and said, "Give me some food first, I'm dying of hunger......"

The housekeeper nodded and said, "Eh, okay, the old slave is going!" ”

"Eh, did Li Xu's stinky boy come back?" Tang Mujin twisted her sore neck and asked

"The prince is in the study," the butler replied, and then withdrew

Tang Mujin came to the study and saw that it was dark inside, thinking that there was no one, but she sensitively let out a helpless sigh when she went to the study

Tang Mujin pushed the door in, lit the candle, and asked, "Why don't you light candles in the study?"

Li Xu came back to his senses in embarrassment and said, "Oh, I was so tired when I came back, I rested on the desk for a while, and I forgot to light the candle."

In fact, he forgot to point because in his vision, the current light is like day, which is enough for him to see the things around him clearly, and he doesn't need to light candles at all

Tang Mujin walked in front of Li Xu, held his chin and asked, "What are you doing when you enter the palace?"

"Oh...... She said that the eighth day of the next month is her birthday, so I must take you into the palace" Li Xu was not good at lying before, but this time he said it in a good way

Tang Mujin asked excitedly, "Is there a lot of delicious food?"

Li Xu smiled and said, "Of course, there is anything delicious."

"Really?" Tang Mujin's eyes lit up and asked, "If you can't finish eating, can you take it away?"

Li Xu stretched out his hand and scraped the tip of Tang Mujin's nose and said, "Gluttonous cat"

Tang Mujin's eyes were sharp, and she vaguely caught a glimpse of the strangeness on Li Xu's arm, but she didn't pierce it

The smile on his face gradually stiffened, and he asked, "Li Xu, do you know what kind of person I hate?"

Li Xu was taken aback and asked, "I don't know, then you can talk about it."

"I hate the kind of person who I am a henchman and he hides from me and lies to me" Tang Mujin still replied with a smile, but this smile was daunting

Li Xu touched the tip of his nose weakly and said, "I didn't lie to you."

Tang Mujin smiled and said, "I didn't say you lied to me."

Li Xu was embarrassed, and he was speechless for a while: "I ......"

"Li Xu, you know, I don't like people who lie" Tang Mujin put away her smile and said seriously

Li Xu frowned, not knowing how to explain to her, afraid that saying it would only increase Tang Mujin's troubles and make her worry about him

"I know, but I really didn't lie to you," Li Xu still didn't tell her

Tang Mujin got angry, grabbed Li Xu's hand, rudely rolled up Li Xu's sleeve, and the obvious scales on his arm were immediately displayed in front of Tang Mujin's eyes
