"How long have you been waiting?"

As soon as Su Jinling appeared from the gap in the mountain rock, she was pulled into her arms by Yuwen Xuancang, tightened the mink velvet cloak on her body, and checked if she had a hand stove.

"Why are you in the mood to find me today?" Seeing him so considerate, Su Jinling's heart was warmer than the hand stove he was holding.

"I miss you." He shaved her little nose.

I was stunned. He rarely said anything to her in such a straightforward opening, but whenever he wanted to speak, he always waited for a long time before he unexpectedly whispered something in her ear, as if he was afraid that others would hear about it and damage his reputation for cold-faced and cold-heartedness, which is the case today...... I guess I really miss her.

He smiled and raised his eyes to meet his...... There is tenderness overflowing in the coldness, reflecting a pair of small her, but ...... Why does it seem that there is something inexplicable in it?

He smiled slightly, his thick eyelashes blocking his gaze.

Hug her in your arms.

She pressed it against his chest, feeling that her heartbeat was steady, but it was as if she heard a sigh overflowing from her chest, and then his voice fell leisurely above: "How about we go out of the palace today?" ”

Her eyes lit up, and she immediately raised her head, but when she met those eyes, she had doubts: "Xuancang ......"

"Hmmm......"

He was waiting for her to continue, but she smiled: "But if I dress like this, will I be laughed at when I go out?" ”

hugged her and whispered, "We don't want to be seen by them!" ”

——————————————————————————————

The wheels grunted, driving briskly on the path, the shadows of the trees were mottled, constantly falling on the roof of the car, and constantly sliding down, spreading the light and dark on the ground.

The brocade curtain on the small window next to the car opens a small crack from time to time, revealing a touch of beauty.

Su Jinling lowered the curtain again, and her lips couldn't hide her happiness. She glanced at Yuwen Xuancang beautifully, but saw that he was looking at herself with a slight smile.

The gaze is extremely warm, but there seems to be something else hidden in the warmth.

The inside of the car was dim and it was difficult to see clearly. I saw that the eyes looked at her for a moment, as if if she would disappear if she was not careful, and as if she was going to engrave her in her heart, because they were about to be separated for a long, long time.

The feeling unnerved her.

"Xuancang ......"

"Hmmm......"

I don't know why I couldn't bear to ask, so I pulled the corner of my lips instead: "Where are we going next?" ”

Long fingers gently combed her sideburns, and said softly: "You'll know in a while......"

———————————————————————————————

The carriage drove slowly on the street, Su Jinling watched the people on both sides through the gap in the curtains, listening to the endless cries of selling, and suddenly remembered that in the spring of the previous year, the day before he was going to marry Fang Yiyun, he took her hand and walked through this prosperous area.

Glance at it again...... In the distance, a three-storey spacious mansion stands aside, with vermilion lacquer walls, glazed windows, flying dark blue eaves and strings of silk red lights, and a five-foot-long blue-background plaque arched on the lintel of the carved bird, on which are three shining golden characters - Tianxiang Building.

Her heart jumped, and she cried out in a lost voice: "Xuancang ......"

"Hmmm......"

She looked at him, but when she saw that his eyes were hidden in the darkness, she suddenly lost her courage and lowered her gaze: "It's nothing ......"

The heartbeat was abnormal, but the carriage really stopped under Tianxiang Tower.

She stood at the foot of the steps, her feet refusing to move as if they had taken root, but he took her hand and pulled her gently...... And so he went through the door.

It is still full of quaint and natural, and it is still a famous person who drinks booze...... It's as if it's back to the day.

A layer of coolness had oozed from his palm, as if he was about to leave his hand, but he held it hard, and looked back at her worriedly.

She barely managed to squeeze out a smile as he walked up the stone steps.

As if sleepwalking, hovering along the stone steps, watching the relief stone pillars unconsciously turn into hollow gilt handrails, watching the streams gurgling down along the way, and sometimes koi jumping out in the water waves, stirring up a few splashes.

I saw the small shop that seemed to be located in the wilderness in the mountains, the door was still covered by a thin bamboo curtain, and the light ink paintings on the curtain were still fresh, and the blue bead curtain with the jade-white powder wall was faintly visible in the cracks of the fine bamboo.

It was Yuwen Xuancang who picked up the bamboo curtain with a fan, she hesitated for a moment, and then walked in.

Bamboo table, bamboo chair, painting with bamboo strips as the base, a thousand branches and thousands of leaves brocade tablecloth, a curved porcelain ice pattern bottle, and a three-dimensional gardenia spread like a vine on one side......

The corner of her eye jumped...... Finally, something is different, because the gardenia of the day in the bottle has been replaced by the osmanthus of the current time. And him...... It's not the dress of a noble son, but the usual white-clothed Shengxue, and he is also wrapped in a thick mink fur.

Breathe a sigh of relief.

Just now she thought that she had traveled back to two years ago, and she was going to experience that heart-rending pain again.

glanced at him happily, but saw that he seemed to have guessed his thoughts, and smiled deeply.

The dishes and pastries are the same as they were that day, except for the extremely spicy dish.

Yuwen Xuancang basically didn't move the chopsticks, only smiled slightly to see her eating happily, holding a jade bamboo cup in her hand, and taking a sip from time to time.

She reached for the cup in his hand, but he dodged it and smiled, "I don't dare let you drink......"

"Why?"

The evil smiled and grabbed her hand and squeezed it gently, and put her lips to her ear: "Didn't you even know when I left last time?" ”

She blushed and pretended to pick up a piece of pastry and looked out the window.

"Jinling ......"

"Hmmm......"

When he looked back, he seemed to catch a trace of gloom in his eyes, but in an instant, it was warm: "Eat more." ”

"Hmm."

After staying in Tianxianglou for a long time, it seemed that Yuwen Xuancang didn't know where to go next, so they didn't get into the carriage until the sunset.

"Are you going to Fenghua River next?"

The arm that hugged her seemed to be shocked, but he only heard him say a soft "um".

———————————————————————————————

It's still a fishing boat singing late, and the sunset is golden, and it's empty and lofty.

Yuwen Xuancang stood with his hands in his hands and looked at the slanting sun.

But a small hand covered his eyes: "Your eyes are not good, you can't keep staring at the light......"

His heart moved slightly, and he let the little hand on his eyes. After a long time, his palm covered her hand: "Jinling, do you remember what I told you at the beginning?" ”

...... "Jinling, you remember, no matter what I do in the future, it is for the future, in order to give you the best things in the world." It's what you deserve and what you deserve best! Maybe it will make you wait for a long time, maybe it will make you sad, maybe there will be many things that we can't predict...... But you must remember that the people around you today are the only ones in their hearts......"

Two years later, these words that made her unclear at the time still shook her heart.

"Xuan Cang," she suddenly felt a little damp in her palm: "You ......"

He took her hand, held it, and smiled at her.

The eyes are clear, lit by the afterglow of the sunset, and it is such a warm gaze.

I just thought it was ......

She smiled too, and drew close to his arms, looking at the sunset.

He surrounded her, his gaze resting on a pair of shadows leaning at his feet.

"Xuancang ......"

"Hmmm......"

"It would be nice if time could stop there."

———————————————————————————————

Mirror Moon Lake, flat as a mirror, reflecting the sky full of stars and half a round of clear moon, and, a pair of figures.

She didn't say anything about leaving, and he didn't say anything about it, just silent.

After a long time, he sighed, took out a hairpin from his bosom, and handed it to her.

It is a golden hairpin, the head of the hairpin is a few jade carved hibiscus flowers, the moonlight still shows the clarity of verdant and soft pink, the wind blows, trembling and moving.

"You did it?"

"Hmm."

She stroked the hairpin: "Concubine Xian Niangniang once said that you often stuff yourself in the house to make these jewelry, but you don't know ......"

"Only for you......"

smiled faintly, and only stared at the trembling hibiscus flower: "Xuan Cang, do you have something to say to me?" ”

Feeling that his eyes moved slightly, she didn't dare to raise her eyes, the corners of her lips were still smiling, but she was a little stiff: "You are so good to me today, you must have something very important to say." ”

She finally lifted her eyes, intending to see something in his eyes.

But his back was to the moonlight, and his whole face was clouded.

She lost her courage: "You don't say I'm gone......"

"The emperor is sick......"

The pace of departure was stagnant.

Yes, the emperor is sick, he must be sad in his heart, and he heard that the prince's ban has been lifted, and he has been serving the sick recently. However, the emperor doesn't seem to be in a big deal, and the prince just wants to consolidate his position, because the heart of a sick person is the easiest to be touched, but Xuancang ......

"You don't have to worry too much, the emperor doesn't seem to be in big trouble, I also saw the emperor come to Xueyang Palace yesterday......"

Still couldn't make out his expression, but a chuckle was clear and piercing.

"Jinling, do you still want to help me now?"

Indeed, she wanted to help him, because she knew that he was planning hard for that position, she knew that he was planning hard and did not forget to care about her and love her while planning hard, and he had also left his ambitions and many scruples behind him several times, just to stay with her for a while, and she knew that if he sat in that position, he would definitely be a thousand times more holy than Yuwen Xuansheng. Having a holy king is a blessing for the country and the people.

However, didn't he want her to take this opportunity to poison the emperor so that he could seek power and usurp the throne?

"Jinling, the prince is mediocre and has repeatedly offended you, have you ever thought about revenge?"

On the second day of the Mid-Autumn Festival...... Later, she learned that the emperor suddenly fell ill that day, and Yuwen Xuansheng was still in the mood to run into the forest to be unreasonable to her......

"I have a way to kill two birds with one stone......"

"What's the method?"

Even though his back was to the moonlight, it was as if he saw a cold glint flash in his eyes......
