Time passed minute by minute, and in the blink of an eye, the sun had completely risen.

Shizi was walking aimlessly in Donglin Temple alone, and he didn't even dodge the monks coming at him.

Although Donglin Temple is closed for one day today, for the monks here, they are also accustomed to seeing all kinds of nobles who can bypass the rules set by the abbot and the presiding officer.

Outside the temple gate, if someone wants to break into the mountain gate, they may attract the clubs and scolding of the warrior monks, but once they have entered the temple gate, in fact, there is no need to dodge as before, as long as they do not meet the upper abbot and are not stopped for interrogation, there will basically be no problem. As for Zeng Jiuyan and the others dodging under their own weak hearts, that's another matter.

However, for the monks in the temple, it is somewhat rare for a teenager like Shizi to look a little lost and depressed, and to walk alone. So along the way, basically every pedestrian who passed by couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

Chen Yicong was annoyed by the eyes of these monks, took out the guard mask that he had prepared a long time ago from his arms, and put it on himself, which he had specially prepared for his next trip to the Imperial Garden, the mask covered half of his face below the bridge of his nose tightly, and the whip mark on the left cheek was not a problem.

Chen Yicong's mood is a little complicated.

He said that he had lived in this world for 14 years and 3 months, and had never been to the country or left his hometown, but today he understood for the first time what it meant to be "close to home".

But fortunately, Zeng Jiuyan and Zhang Jingzhen were both concentrating on guarding against the monks in front and on both sides, and did not notice that he had quietly run away.

Compared with how to explain his disappearance to Zeng Jiuyan and them for a while, for Chen Yicong, he needs to explain to himself that he was the person who proposed to come with him at the beginning, but he was also the one who ran away when he came.

But there is no way, when he thinks of meeting for a while, the young man has already burned red, and when he goes to see Bai Ling like this, he will be made fun of by Zeng Jiuyan at that time, it is really conceivable.

Chen Yicong beat his heart a few times with one hand irritably. He looked up in hindsight, and then realized that he didn't know where he had gone, but it seemed that the marks of burning around him were getting worse and worse.

He no longer moved forward, but stood in the shade of a large tree, and sat down somewhat casually.

After slipping out for so long, he did feel that he was much calmer than he was just now.

Although he didn't know what Zeng Jiuyan would say to Bai Ling, when he thought of the night he saw Anhu, the two of them came over talking and laughing, Chen Yicong felt a little annoyed in his heart.

He used to be able to talk to this girl calmly and calmly like that.

He leaned against the tree and sighed softly. After a while, I will go to the north gate to see if Li Fengyu is still there, and I said that I accidentally separated from Zeng Jiuyan and them, so I had to go back with him first

But it's a shame to make such a trip.

Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps behind him.

Someone trotted in his direction.

Chen Yicong turned his head keenly, and then his heartbeat skipped a beat, and a familiar figure came into view.

Carrying the hem of his clothes, he trotted out from behind the porch on the other side, and ran towards the big tree where he was.

He immediately straightened his back and looked at the girl in front of him as if he were facing a great enemy.

"Shi is Cheng Gongzi?" Bai Ling ran closer to see that there was a masked man behind the tree, and when she looked at it, she turned out to be an acquaintance, she was really a little surprised, "It's such a coincidence that you are also here?" ”

Chen Yicong was stunned.

What I wanted to say was robbed.

Chen Yicong's throat moved, and he felt his cheeks burn uncontrollably, and both cheeks were itchy, making people want to scratch them.

But through the mask, he managed to hold back.

"I heard that there was a disaster here last night, so I went up the mountain to take a look." He replied with a straight face, "You're here to see it too?" ”

Because of the deliberate suppression of the voice, Shizi's voice sounded a little fierce. Bai Ling was startled for a moment by the interrogating tone of this voice, and then nodded yes after a while.

Ask yourself, has there been anything that has offended the prince lately?

Didn't you?

She looked through the branches, observing the pedestrians on the road, and added, "I was entrusted by the noble concubine to discuss Buddhism with Master Xuyun of Donglin Temple. ”

Chen Yicong sighed, and coughed coldly, "Then why are you here, shouldn't you go to the tearoom to discuss Buddhism?" ”

Bai Ling smiled, "Because the clouds in the back mountain are beautiful." ”

Chen Yicong didn't understand for a while, "The clouds are very beautiful"

"Well, so sneak out to see the clouds." Bai Ling smiled, "Now I'm going to sneak back." ”

Seeing Bai Ling standing up, it seemed that he was about to take advantage of the moment when no one was in front of him to run to the back door of the temple building on the other side, Chen Yicong suddenly said, "You wait! ”

Bai Ling looked at him a little vigilantly, "Is there anything else wrong with Cheng Gongzi?" ”

Chen Yicong felt a little upset, although it would be a bit abrupt to say this at this time, but if she missed this time, she would have to wait for the next time she entered the palace.

"I have something for you."

Bai Ling was stunned for a moment, only to see Shizi reach out and take out a pendant from his sleeve, he said softly, "This is the peace charm that Zhang Shenxian begged for in Xianling Yuan, I accidentally got a piece a few days ago, thinking that you are in danger in the palace, it is better to give it to you, as a reward for your troubles for me before." ”

"Unleashing your troubles?" Bai Ling looked at the small wooden pendant with some doubts, and for a moment he couldn't remember when he had helped the prince relieve his troubles.

"It was the time when I asked you how you could comfort my friend." Chen Yicong reminded.

Bai Ling finally understood, and then looked at Chen Yicong's appearance of coldly locking his eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel funny again, "So that's the case, it scared me." ”

"What."

"Cheng Gongzi suddenly became so fierce, I'm a little unaccustomed to it." Bai Ling said with a smile.

Chen Yicong was stunned again.

Isn't it fierce?

Seeing Bai Ling patting her own heart with some fear, Chen Yicong only felt that he was stupid, and he explained a little stumblingly, "That's all because of wearing a mask, don't think too much!" ”

"Okay, okay." Bai Ling shook his hand, "Thank you Cheng Gongzi, but I don't believe in these, the peace charm is not needed, I will be careful in the palace." ”

Chen Yicong's movements froze there again, and he didn't know what to do for a while.

It turns out that Bai Ling also scoffed at those magic theories.

He thought the girls would love it

"Anything else?" Bai Ling asked, "No, I'll go back, I'm in a bit of a hurry." ”

"I'll send you there!"

"No need, Cheng Gongzi," Bai Ling laughed again, always feeling that today's prince looked really strange, "I went back secretly, isn't it easier to be revealed by one more person to follow me?" ”

Shizi nodded awkwardly, "Be careful on the road." ”

After experiencing the blow of double rejection, he stood in place, looking at Bai Ling's distant back.

It wasn't until Bai Ling completely disappeared from his field of vision that Shizi suddenly slammed his head and grabbed the ground with his head in remorse.

"Ahhh You're so stupid!! ”。
