When the moon was full in the Mid-Autumn Festival in August, a young man walked to the outer study in the Chen Mansion in Beijing.

The door of the study was closed, and it was pitch black, but the man still concluded that someone was inside, and stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door: "Father-"

"Come in."

An old, cold voice came out.

The man pushed the door open, and the light from the lantern hanging under the eaves spilled into the study.

The young man bowed his head and said, "Father-in-law, the Queen Mother has gone." ”

In the dark, Chen Yin, who was wearing a gray robe and standing in front of the bookshelf, slightly clenched the delicate bird in his hand.

"Are you still peaceful?"

He asked in a hoarse voice.

"......" The young man hesitated for a moment before he said in a very low voice: "Before the Queen Mother went, she saw the emperor...... The mother knocked over the medicine jar and ruined the holy face. ”

Naturally, such news cannot be spread easily, but there has always been no shortage of their eyeliner in the palace.

After hearing this, the corners of the old man's mouth moved, but he didn't know what the expression was.

Sure enough, it's still the same Zhenzhen......

She had been ill for a long time, both physically and mentally...... Now gone, or liberated.

Maybe it's because people are getting old and even their pain perception will become dull, and at this time he is more of a lifeless thought.

Or maybe they are too tired to live in this life.

And at this time, the feeling in his heart, if he said a little more, seemed to be lonely.

He turned and walked out of the study.

Everything around him was a familiar darkness to him, but at this time, the darkness was inexplicably even worse.

"Father-in-law......"

The young man followed behind him, calling out a little uneasily.

He was adopted by his father-in-law since he was a child, and his father-in-law was cold and cruel in the eyes of outsiders, but to him he was just a slightly stern father who was more soft-hearted than strict.

My stepfather is more than 70 years old.

But except for some old diseases, the body has always been healthy.

His back was not bent like those old men, but it was always straight. His hair had long since turned gray, but it was still neatly tied on the top of his head, and it was a white hosta that he had not taken out for a long time and had not used it—once his father-in-law had told him when he was drunk that the white hosta was a birthday gift from a friend of his childhood.

I didn't use it before, because I broke off contact with that friend. Now that the past has been cut off, it is always difficult to use what others have sent.

Even if you like it again.

If he doesn't seem spineless, he may make the other party think that he intends to fix it.

It wasn't until the father-in-law was old and gradually stopped going out that he hid at home and used it again.

"The queen mother has gone, and the emperor will kill the prince of Changguo." After a while, Chen Yin spoke up.

The young man was stunned.

Before he could answer, he heard again: "This is violent...... At that time, you need to secretly try to intercept the body of Changguo Gong and bury it in the ancestral tomb of the Zhang family. ”

As for the rest, there was nothing he could do.

Zhen Zhen didn't ask him for help, so she should know this.

It should also be...... I have nothing to say to him.

"The boy wrote it down."

After the young man got down, he saw that Chen Yin had already stepped away.

He immediately followed.

The father-in-law couldn't see, and when he was young, he relied on his best hearing and memory beyond looking for people, but in recent years, his sense of hearing has not been as good as before, and it is inconvenient to walk around alone.

He followed Chen Yin all the way, out of Chen's mansion, and came to the Lamp Market.

During the day, it is very lively, full of vendors, all kinds of snacks and fragrant places, at this time only the sparse sound of insects into the ears.

Chen Yin stood on the stone bridge for a long time.

After some time, he instructed the young man, "Let the horses be prepared—"

He's going to a place, meeting a person, doing a thing.

……

The door of the prison was opened.

What is secretly imprisoned here is the national teacher who had infinite scenery in the past, and he is also a demon monk who has long been executed in the eyes of the world.

The man with heavy chains on both hands and feet had dirty white hair that obscured his face, revealing only a pair of dark eyes.

He stared at the man closely, a strange smile in his hoarse old voice.

"You're here......"

Chen Yin stepped forward, recognized the sound of the chain, and raised his sword to cut the chain.

"What a fast sword...... It is worthy of being the former commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the Lord ......"

Ji Xiao chuckled and got up slowly and stiffly.

"Can you really drive the so-called method of rebirth?"

"When you come, you believe...... Why ask? ”

Chen Yin smiled.

He wasn't convinced.

But it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

"Let's do it." He threw the sword in his hand in a huff.

"Master Chen hasn't said who he wants to sacrifice for...... If three days have passed since the other party's death, you can't use this method......" Ji Xiao asked tentatively.

"Empress Dowager Cishou, Zhang Meishou."

"......" Jixiao's dark eyes lit up.

Empress Dowager Cishou is dead?!

Looking at the person in front of him steadily, a crazy smile slowly appeared in Jixiao's eyes.

It's not in vain that he waited so long!

Using the method of divination in that secret technique, he had already calculated that the Empress Dowager Cishou was his variable...... If he can send him back and break the death catastrophe for the destined person, then he will have a chance to change his fate!

"Can anything really change?"

Chen Yin closed his eyes and asked thoughtfully.

"Of course. If you live again, everything will naturally have a chance to change......" Ji Xiao's voice carried indescribable bewitchment.

Chen Yin moved the corners of his mouth slightly.

This demon monk is extremely cunning, he is naturally not stupid enough to believe everything the other party says, and he has already realized that the other party revealed this secret technique to him at the beginning, and he must have other intentions.

Over the years, he has sent people to secretly verify many secret techniques.

Accounts are mixed.

However, at this time he was willing to believe.

This life was originally picked up.

The revenge has been avenged, Bo'an has gone, Zhen Zhen has gone, and he should also go.

If there is a chance to see each other again, it will be very good if everything is as it was before.

No......

Bo'an and Zhen Zhen have never changed, they have always been the same as before.

Only he himself has changed.

His hands were stained with blood, he could no longer stand in the sun, and he had nothing but hatred in his heart.

In fact, he didn't blame Zhen Zhen for half a point - he knew her so well, felt so sorry for her situation, and saw everything she did for him, how could he blame her......

But he couldn't face her and Bo'an as he was.

That's why I will say that grace is broken.

But how can it be broken?

In his life, all he knows is family and friendship, and in addition to his family, the people he values most are her and Bo'an.

Therefore, what he did this time was not so much to help Zhen Zhen, but to selfishly redeem himself.

If you have any other wishes......

Nothing too much to mention.

- If Zhen Zhen can really see him in the past with memories, I hope that the original him in the past can still make Zhen Zhen smile.

I hope that Zhen Zhen is still willing to grow up with him and Bo'an, and don't dislike them for being too childish.

And most importantly –

This time, she must live the life she really wants to live......

……

Of course, if it's too hard to do it alone, remember to go to me and Boan.

Let's figure it out together.

It's still the same as before.

……
