In the afternoon, it rained.

The ground was wet, there was no standing water, and there was some reflection on the stone slabs.

The air was damp and cold, with a fragrant and clear smell, and I don't know which plum tree gave off a faint fragrance that led Yukisawa away.

There was also a drizzle in the wind, mixed with the fog, which made people's faces cold and watery, and most of the people who were afraid of the cold did not come out at this moment.

If Xue Ze hadn't come to see Liu Zhong, he would definitely not have braved the clammy and cold wind to go out, and the chill on his skin was not pleasant.

The place where the fragrance of flowers was thick was Qingmei Garden, and Yukisawa walked to the door and stopped, thinking for a long time before saying to Lotus Seed, "You just guard here!"

"Senior sister, come out quickly!" Renzi handed the umbrella to Yukizawa, and she moved under the eaves of the door.

Yukisawa nodded, held the umbrella up, and walked in very low.

The road in the plum garden is exceptionally clean and refreshing, there is nothing else except flower petals, not even water droplets, and Xue Ze doesn't even have to deliberately lift the skirt.

"This place seems to have been cleaned up, is Liu Zhong really so concerned about Qingling?" Xue Ze thought about it and walked into the plum garden, the flowers here were still very thick and abundant, but they had changed some plants to show their brilliance and beauty.

The petals stand in the rain and dew, if they are on the branches, they are crystal beautiful, and if they are spread on the ground, they are quiet and serene. When the breeze blew, the fog suspended in the air floated and fluttered, and the flower branches also swayed slightly, and bursts of fragrance drifted to Yuzzawa's nose. The pleasant fragrance seemed to be able to soak the heart, and Yukisawa lost his mind for a moment......

"The scenery is indeed good, and the fragrance is also shocking, and the dust is really inclusive of all things and hides the beauty!"

Footsteps and breathing interrupted Yuzzawa's meditation, and she knew that someone was coming behind her.

Xue Ze turned the handle of the umbrella, and with this small movement proved that she had come back to her senses, and the comer was not afraid of her sudden interruption and opened her mouth first.

"Qingling!"

Xue Ze's heart tightened and turned around. Even if he doesn't want to face Liu Zhong, for the sake of the overall situation, he has to meet according to the plan.

"He's here, it's a mission!" Xue Ze thought silently in his heart, and raised his head slowly.

A quiet and beautiful woman appeared in Liu Zhong's eyes, she slowly turned around in the rain of flowers, and her beautiful and delicate appearance made Liu Zhong's heart ripple.

There is no other stunning beauty here than her.

"Qingling, it's really you!"

"Second prince!" Xue Ze smiled indifferently, pretending to have the demeanor of Qingling, and looked at Liu Zhong much gently.

Liu Zhong smiled, walked up to Xue Ze, and asked softly, "Do you like the scenery here?" I received your letter and immediately sorted out this place. I thought to myself, if you don't like it, at least you don't hate it!"

"You're bothered!" Yukisawa didn't know how to lead the topic for a while, only knowing that his purpose had been hanging in his heart.

"Do you like that?"

"I like it!" Xue Ze smiled slightly, stared at the plum blossom and said, "This plum blossom is blooming so well!"

Liu Zhong looked around and wanted to break off a plum blossom but stopped. His hand froze stiffly in the air, as if it was caught in his mind, and he thought for a long time before slowly retracting it.

"You don't like folding flowers, I almost forgot about it again!"

Xue Ze was stunned for a moment, glad that he didn't ask more, and he was also glad that he didn't like spicy hand-destroying flowers like Qingling.

"Flowers bloom for a short time, but life is indeed hard-won!"

Liu Zhong nodded and smiled, looked at Xue Ze and said, "Once, you didn't let me fold the flowers because I felt sorry for their relatives, but now it's different." It seems that you have come out of Lingtang's early death, and you are no longer the pure-minded and sentimental daughter!"

Xue Ze smiled slightly, and thought to himself: It turns out that Qingling is because of this, but fortunately Liu Zhong didn't notice anything unusual! However, does he know Qingling too well, right? It seems that I still have to be more careful......

"Time flies, who can avoid change? It's just that the original intention is still there, and there is no need for those complicated thoughts!"

"Initial intention?" Liu Zhong took a deep breath, "Do you still remember your original intention?"

"This ......" Xue Ze hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "Even if I have lost my memory, I have never been a stranger to my original intention!"

"But, I think you've changed!" Liu Zhong said, staring at Xue Ze for a long time, his expression a little complicated.

"Perhaps!"

"In the past, you had a beautiful vision of everything, a gentle affection for your subordinates, and a childishness that did not understand the world. Now, you've lost your troubled memories, but I'm a little unfamiliar with all the cold tsundere......"

Xue Ze was silent, a little unhappy in his heart: Qingling is not strange, I don't know why he repeatedly explained what happened before, is it because he has the intention to tempt? If he thinks that Qingling has changed, then why do he have to save me again and again? These words do not seem to be enough to show that he loves Qingling deeply, and this feeling should only be regarded as shallow and liking......

--

"Qingling!" Liu Zhong still reached out and broke off a flower, but it was the one hidden under the branch just now.

Xue Ze looked up, a little puzzled, but didn't ask more.

"Do you know? Sometimes, when you choose a thing, whether it is to protect or to spare, it is actually to divert the disaster! There is a certain amount of suffering in this world, but the people who bear it are different!"

Xue Ze was stunned, and couldn't understand the meaning of Liu Zhong's words for a while.

When did he become so obscure? This state of deep wisdom was not his style, had he changed, or had he been pretending all along?

"Okay, don't talk about this, it actually makes the atmosphere a little sad!" Liu Zhong smiled at Xue Ze, returning to his original state, still looking arrogant and depressed.

"Qingling, give!" Liu Zhong handed the flower branch to Xue Ze and said gently: "This flower, some people have liked it for a long time! However, everything comes first and comes first, and this time I will be the first to come!"

Xue Ze looked at the flower, and couldn't decide whether to take it or not for a while. "Could it be that the emperor also likes this flower?"

"Hey, I still can't hide it from you!" Liu Zhong stretched the flower forward a little more, only an inch away from Xue Ze's hand. "You have been snatched away by the emperor, is it too much for me to take one of the flowers of a tree?"

Xue Ze couldn't resist Liu Zhong's intensity
