"Yes." Zhao Mu faintly felt that he seemed to be exposed, and Chu Mo had not assigned him any important tasks.

Seeing Zhao Mu's hesitation, in order to dispel his thoughts, Chu Mo explained: "Since I lost my mother when I was a child, the only person who is good to me is Lord Qi. In my heart, Emperor Chen is not worthy of being my father, and he is my father. This is the most important thing compared to the trivial things of enthronement. I can only rest assured if I leave it to you. ”

Zhao Mu lowered his head more and more: "If your subordinates know, they will definitely do it." ”

Chu Mo suddenly felt as if he was in a fog, and he couldn't find a place to solve it.

He could only go to Lu Tingyi to talk about it.

He also felt strange, I don't know when Lu Tingyi seemed to have changed her mood, she became transparent and indifferent, as if she didn't like him at the same time, she didn't like Chu Xi anymore.

In the past, Lu Tingyi would never treat him and Chu Xi so fairly and justly.

But in the past, Lu Tingyi had the arrogance and innocence he liked, and now Lu Tingyi, although she is empathetic, she does not have the ignorance of the world before.

He couldn't tell what he felt in his heart, he was now facing Lu Tingyi, compared to before, he was more relaxed and more comfortable, he could say a lot of things in his heart unscrupulously, and Lu Tingyi wouldn't say anything, it was like a tree hole.

seems to have responded to the phrase "gentlemen's friendship is as light as water", and he and Lu Tingyi really became friends.

But he didn't have the same excitement as before, he was a proud enough man, and he didn't like to reveal all his wounds and unbearability to others.

In the past, Lu Tingyi didn't care about his past, and treated him as a prince like Chu Xi, although she didn't like him, and even treated him cruelly.

But the feeling of being treated as a normal person is what makes him the most comfortable.

Seeing Lin Duan, Chu Mo said what he thought in his heart: "You seem to have changed a lot, you are not the Lu Tingyi I knew at the beginning." ”

Lin Du also knew that the difference between her and Lu Tingyi was too great, and prevaricated: "Maybe one day I will change back to the way I used to be." ”

"Then will you forget all that I told you?" Chu Mo didn't know what kind of psychology he was, he needed someone to understand, it was really hard to walk alone all the way, but he didn't want Lu Tingyi to pity him.

Lin Du is a transparent girl, and she knows that some men like the kind of woman who knows all her pain, understands herself, and feels sorry for herself.

But more men often don't like the woman who knows all their weaknesses and unbearables too well, and they want to be looked up to and adored rather than sympathetic.

She didn't want to make trouble by herself to the end, Lu Tingyi came back, but Chu Mo couldn't be with her.

She thought for a long time, and considered the words: "Lord, it is impossible to erase the memory. But there are some things that you will forget if you are willing to forget. What you said to me was nothing but a big dream. In Lu Tingyi's eyes, you have always been the elegant His Royal Highness King Xiang. ”

She thought for a moment and added: "The prince has been suffering for half his life. But I don't think suffering is the king's weakness or weakness. On the contrary, I think it is the tenacity of the prince, the medal of the prince. Not everyone can go through those dark years. ”

She finally concluded: "Suffering is not worthy of praise, but the prince deserves praise. ”

"But suffering makes me feel like I'm covered in ugly scars, and I don't want anyone to see them." Chu Mo don't overdo it.

"I thought I covered up the scars myself and they would heal themselves," he sighed. But I found that, in fact, after a long time of scars, not only will they not get better on their own, but they will also suppurate and produce sores. I don't know when you have become a wonderful ability to make people willing to confide in me, so that I am willing to show you these scars. ”

"But every time I finish speaking, I dare not look you in the eye. My heart is happy, but I am afraid to see your sympathetic gaze. Chu Mo laughed at himself: "You say, am I quite pitiful." ”

Lin Duan understood Chu Mo's awkward psychology, no one is an island, and no one doesn't need the understanding of others.

She looked ahead, and she didn't look at Chu Mo, "Lord Wang, it's not pitiful. I've said before, we're roommates, friends in the same room. It's normal to talk to friends. Perhaps, we should also learn to live peacefully with our scars. I can't persuade you that it's not suffering but grinding, that's not scars but rewards. ”

"Suffering is suffering, and scars are scars. It's something you can't refuse. Lin Du doesn't like to glorify suffering, suffering is painful, "but through your own efforts, you may be able to turn suffering into grinding." Learn to live peacefully with the scars, which are part of you, accept it, and look forward. The past days are beyond your control and choice, but you have enough ability now, and the future is something you can grasp. ”

"You're right, I should learn to live peacefully with my scars." Chu Mo slowly turned his head and looked at Lin Duan's side face, his gaze was firm: "Thank you, I should learn to accept the past." ”

"Take your time, life is a long growth, constantly learning new things. The prince can learn it from now on. It doesn't matter if you can't learn for a while, you still have a lot of years to learn. Lin Du comforted him.

Chu Mo hooked the corners of his mouth and sighed: "It's really different." ”

Lin Du didn't answer.

Chu Mo stood under the window with her, looking at the flowers and moonlight outside the window, and the years were quiet.

After a long time, Chu Mo talked about the events of the past few days: "The edict was robbed, it should be the Shadow Gate." ”

"Shadow Door?" Lin Du was shocked, she thought that the plot had not changed, but she didn't expect such a shocking turn in the plot.

In the original plot, it was Lu Tingyi who personally gave the edict to Chu Xi, and others didn't have time to start. And this time, the edict was changed hands by Cai Wei, but it was robbed by the Shadow Gate.

The plot has really changed.

Where did the Shadow Gate come from?

"I found out that several important ministers in the court are inextricably linked to the Shadow Gate, and those important ministers all support me." Chu Mo's words are all here.

Lin Du had already understood: "So the Shadow Gate is going to play a hand of 'praying mantis catching cicadas, and the yellow finch is behind'?" ”

"Yes." Chu Mo knew that Lin Duan was smart and would definitely be able to understand the trick, "But I can't do anything now, I need to ascend to the throne, and I want to correct my mother and King Qi." For this reason, I am willing to make a deal with the devil. ”

"Am I really mean?" He still asked this sentence, and he was gentle and indifferent to all attacks on the surface. But in my heart, I always wonder if I am really as dirty as they say.
