Walking into the emperor's bedroom as usual, seeing that the predecessors had not returned without knowing where they had gone, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but breathe heavily......

Avoiding Shen Su's gaze, he rummaged through for something, Xie Lingxu's movements were gentle, but his eyes were as heavy as water, and he was faintly puzzled in his heart...... Without ......, how can there be no ......

Rubbing his swollen and aching temples, the former bit his lower lip...... Is it really so clean that not a trace of ash remains......

——————

Chinese New Year's Eve Night...... The lights of thousands of homes were not extinguished all night, and Xie Lingxu, who was too lazy to go to the palace, couldn't resist the soft grinding and hard bubbles of the others, and agreed to go out of the palace with the emperor and a group of horses to enjoy the annual prosperity of the imperial city......

………………

The bustling street market that is next to each other is full of people, all around is an unprecedented grand scene of lanterns and gongs and drums, and people are probably piling up all the joys of this year today, taking advantage of this festival that they don't even know well, and pouring out the joy and sorrow of a four seasons......

…… From time to time, he swept the cheeks of the people beside him with his peripheral light, and the emperor's eyes were cold, only to feel that the hustle and bustle around her was making her temperament more and more cold today, and it was very cold, but it also had the beauty of being lonely and arrogant.

Secretly thinking about the fireworks prepared for Xie Lingxu, the emperor couldn't help but smile lightly...... I don't know if she will feel that she is too pompous and has set up such an eye-catching scene, which makes her feel uncomfortable when she doesn't like the hustle and bustle. I don't think she should mind, I want to come to the role of the emperor, in the eyes of her predecessors, she is naturally arbitrary and casual, unrestrained, she will probably only pretend to be annoyed for a moment, casually complain a few words, and then she will show a smile like in the past......

Planning the current time, thinking that it should be almost time, the emperor pursed his lips, and then smiled and said to Xie Lingxu beside him:

"After walking around for so long, I feel a little tired! Spirit...... I have just asked someone to prepare some delicious food and wine in the gazebo, can you accompany me to rest for a while? ”

Quietly waiting for Xie Lingxu's reply, the emperor's heart trembled slightly, and he was a little uneasy at the moment...... There was no trace of light on the shadow side of the former's face, and I couldn't see Lingxu's expression, so I just heard her say indifferently:

"Okay."

………………

King You's eyes moved slightly, raised his eyes to look at the woman in front of him, and without saying a word, he turned his head and followed the emperor to other places...... She has always been inattentive to people she doesn't care about, and what she leaves to herself is always just a cold back......

………………

Walking into the Huxin Pavilion, Xie Lingxu looked at the luxurious decoration in the room and the jade plate delicacies on the table, and he didn't know what it was like. Sitting on the wooden chair silently, I saw that the emperor had set aside the guards guarding beside him, and then he was sitting opposite him with a light smile...... Xie Lingxu took a sip of sake, his eyes were warm......

Rao is far away from the people, but the silence around is still not able to withstand the hustle and bustle in the distance, only to feel that the glitzy world seems to be like an inevitable sound of obscenity, in his ears, but also in front of his eyes......

There are so many intricacies in the world that you are ready to fill your seemingly peaceful life, and you always seem to be caught up in endless distractions, and those people and things that you can't dodge are really tiresome, and people don't hesitate to break free from their situation.

Sighing secretly, Xie Lingxu looked down at the tea foam floating and sinking in the cup, and the memories seemed to be drifting away, and his mind was a little complicated at this time......

………………

Looking at the two people sitting opposite each other in the pavilion of the water pavilion from afar, King Youran stood silently on the river bank and felt a little sour in his heart...... No matter how heavy the feelings are, they are just their own wishful thinking, and the beloved person in the dim light is not by his side after all......

………………

The emperor's eyes moved slightly, and his gaze couldn't help but sweep over the woman in front of him...... She has always liked to wear simple clothes, pure and plain, but she has become more and more prominent in her indifferent temperament. I only feel that the person in front of me does not need to be carved, and in my own eyes he is absolutely beautiful and moving......

It's just that today she seems to be a little silent, probably used to quiet, not very used to the hustle and bustle around Chinese New Year's Eve. The moonlight was very good tonight, and he secretly looked at the sky, and the emperor smiled lightly without leaving a trace...... I hope that the fireworks prepared for you can still win you a moment of joy......

Yishen waited for the moment when the fireworks exploded in the sky, and the emperor slowly poured a cup of tea in the cup - finally the predecessors expected it, only to hear the strange voice of the woman in front of him, and suddenly said: "Don't you feel tired?" The Emperor ......"

was pierced by Xie Lingxu's cold tone, the emperor's eyes moved slightly, and the mouth of the cup that had just leaned against his lower lip couldn't help but tremble slightly, making people feel a little dazed for a while...... In the long uproar, the atmosphere between the two was a little abrupt. The fireworks gathered into a cluster of golden light and flew into the blue sky to pierce the dark night, only to see the woman in front of her leaning back in the chair, raising her jaw lightly, and said indifferently: "Or should I actually call you...... Mu Yun? ”

——Fireworks exploded in the distance, but they couldn't hide Xie Lingxu's cold words...... I saw fireworks bloom in the sky, and immediately turned into dotted orange-red sparks and fell down, paving a beautiful and gorgeous scene behind the two...... It was a brilliant light rendered for her alone, and the woman with a cold expression who was separated from her at the moment did not look back...... Her eyes were frosty, and the coldness of the moment seemed to herald an irretrievable rupture......

I only felt that Xie Lingxu's astringent and hard word "Mu Yun" seemed to be blocked in his heart. The chest began to throb violently, and the emperor propped up the wooden table in front of him with his hand, and it was a little difficult to breathe for a while-

"Spirit...... What do you say? ”

"Is it necessary to do it again? Do you think I haven't seen enough? Think I'm stupid? ”

Her voice was neither sad nor joyful, but it was unprecedentedly flat, piercing into her heart, as if she was about to tear her heart apart......

"You...... Listen to me—"

Xie Lingxu chuckled: "Explanation? Explain that you led me into your trap step by step, and I even thought you were a fool and thought you were pure and innocent! Scold...... Convinced of your lies, you must be a joke for me! ”

"No...... I didn't! ”

Xie Lingxu's heart was like stagnant water, thinking of the hypocritical relationship between himself and his predecessors, and he felt a little disgusted when he thought of the various pasts full of lies.

"Only now do I realize that every step I have taken is just a pattern carefully set by you. From the moment I met you, I walked into the deception you painstakingly weaved...... The woman who framed me for no reason, Shen Su, who took me into the palace for some reason, turned out to be all an illusion! It's just a character you've designed to get close to me, to get close to the jade beads on my body! ”

"Huh...... I said, how can there be so many coincidences in this world, and how can they all focus on me, they are all ill-intentioned by people with intentions! Your Majesty, you are really hidden and have superb acting skills! ”

…… Recalling how his predecessors disguised themselves in front of their eyes and gained their trust little by little, Xie Lingxu couldn't help but feel like a fish in his throat...... Under the sword, the man he protected with his body turned out to be nothing more than a hypocritical spectator, indifferently watching himself clumsily fight for him, scarred......

Even though he saw that he was covered in bruises and his life was hanging by a thread, he pretended to be powerless from beginning to end, and never watched coldly from the sidelines. …… As for Prime Minister Yuan's design and murder, he clearly knew the former's secret conspiracy, but he still did not hesitate to put himself in danger, completely ignoring the past relationship between the two. In his heart, there is only power and conspiracy, and only himself...... If you really play with people's feelings, you can deceive yourself and give all your sincerity without thinking! It's ridiculous!

The woman in front of her was as pale as iron, and the second she tore the lie with her own hands was an unprecedented indifference and determination, and the emperor calmed down his flustered mind and wanted to defend it, but he didn't know what else he could justify-

"Are you...... When did you know ......? ”

Xie Lingxu: "What's the point of asking me these now?" Do you think I suspect you're just a day or two? I have never been able to understand, how can an outlaw like Mu Yun, who is finally running around the rivers and lakes, have the leisure and elegance to dye his clothes with perilla every time? Unless it's trying to hide something...... Cover up the fragrance of sandalwood that can't be removed, it's the emperor...... The smell ......"

Xie Lingxu smiled indifferently without emotion: "On weekdays, you play two identity roles with completely different personalities, saying things against your will, and suffering from a stomach that can't come out, thinking that you can't sleep at night, so you need to rely on incense to calm your nerves for many years, right? However, you need to put more effort into covering the breath on your body with the smell of perilla, so as not to expose your identity as the Son of Heaven ......! ”

The emperor seems to be a little speechless...... It seems that she really already knows, not a temptation, not a speculation, this day is really coming.

Thousands of emotions poured into Xie Lingxu's heart in an instant, and people couldn't help but want to vent, the former couldn't help but clench his fists and said indifferently: "I still want to justify your name, and I believe that you are not a sinister person like others say." On that day in the Mu Mansion, I thought you were sad and sad, and sincerely wanted to avenge you, but now I think about it is really ridiculous, those who lost their lives in Huangquan...... Actually, you killed them, right? ”

"In order to get the identity of 'Mu Yun', you need to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but these nameless people are not worth mentioning in your heart, right? I really don't understand, standing in the Mu Mansion, looking at the bones left all over the ground after your lore, what are you thinking in your heart? ”

Listening to the former's questioning, the emperor didn't say anything for a long time, he just stiffened his whole body and breathed tightly...... At this moment, the panic hit her heart, and she felt that her affection for herself seemed to be about to turn into ethereal smoke, dissipating from her hands, unable to grasp it, and it seemed that she could no longer hold it......
