Chu Yan's expression was as serious as ever.

Being looked at by him like this, Shen Lingxi felt a little flustered for no reason.

It was obviously freezing cold, but the pinna was quietly dyed with a few traces of heat.

She avoided Chu Yan's gaze and looked sideways into the distance, trying not to care, the sound of a drum-like heartbeat in her chest.

"Your Highness regards me as 'lucky' to be alive,......" Shen Lingxi said with a smile: "If one day, I am not alive and I have disappointed His Highness's expectations, and His Highness is sad and sad because of me, then it will be my sin." ”

"Everyone dies." Chu Yan looked at her side face, "Look at this Dragon Slope, when I led my troops here, it was just an inaccessible dirt slope, I didn't expect that Fu Meng would lead people to ambush here, and I didn't think that I would almost die here." ”

"Life is short, and things are impermanent. If you don't try, how do you know if you will bear me or I will bear you in the end? ”

She has something to say.

He also meant something.

Shen Ling clenched the fingertips of the stove, and because of these words, his bones were a little white.

Yes, the world is impermanent.

No one can predict which will come first, tomorrow or the unexpected.

From childhood to adulthood, Shen Lingxi's mother and aunt were all married, and they only taught her not to be confused by a man's appearance, nor to easily believe a man's sweet words. No matter what situation you are in, you must not wronged yourself and treat yourself badly.

Her scumbag father and her imperial uncle also used living examples to tell her that men are not good things.

After getting along these days, Shen Lingxi clearly knows that Chu Yan is not the kind of man like a scumbag father and an imperial uncle.

I also saw his heart for himself.

In the past, Shen Lingxi only regarded himself as a wisp of ghost living in this body, and he didn't know when he would disperse with the wind.

So, force yourself not to be too emotionally involved and not to get too involved with him.

Because you can't give, you shouldn't take it.

But now, she knew that this body was her own.

This life is a chance that God really gave her to do it all over again.

Can she, in this hard-won second life, try to follow her heart and try?

Shen Lingxi pursed his lips, "I ......"

"It's just a casual chat, you don't have to think about it." Chu Yan's gaze fell on her tight white fingertips.

Unwilling to see her embarrassed, he pretended not to care much and said: "I just think that the relationship between friends will be divided if they are disappointed." ”

Shen Lingxi: "? ”

She blinked, and her fingers on the stove were unconsciously relaxed, but there was an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Your Highness only sees me as a friend?" She turned to look at him, her gaze faintly confirmed.

"You are my crown princess." Chu Yan turned his head sideways, looked into the distance, hid the loss in his eyes, and deliberately made his voice sound lazy and loose, "We are naturally closer than friends." ”

He was unwilling, and added, "You and Mu Huai'an are friends." ”

These words made Shen Lingxi laugh.

"That's right." Shen Lingxi also turned his head sideways and looked into the distance.

After thinking about it, he also added, "For Mu Huai'an, I never thought about 'living up' and 'not disappointing'." ”

When Chu Yan heard this, his heart finally felt a little more comfortable.

His status in her heart is naturally much stronger than others.

Feeling that a cold wind was blowing from nowhere, Chu Yan turned around and stretched out his arm, fished out a brocade quilt from the carriage, and wrapped it around Shen Lingxi.

When his eyes fell on her cheeks, which were red from the cold, he covered her with his hands through the brocade quilt expressionlessly.

I thought that this action would definitely attract her side eyes.

Unexpectedly, Shen Lingxi sat up straight, looked ahead in surprise, and didn't forget to say to him: "Your Highness Lao, go to the side to bake the fire, there is business coming to the door." ”

Chu Yan's eyes were slightly dark, looking at the lantern on the eaves, the lotus crown at the top was rotating rapidly, and the wind chimes of "jingling" became more and more crisp.

He followed Shen Lingxi's gaze again and turned his head to look at the void.

knew that the business she was talking about meant "dead souls".

"Something called me." After Chu Yan finished saying this, he stepped out of the carriage and walked towards the bonfire that Chunjun and they had lit in the distance.

Soon after Chu Yan left, the reincarnation lamp suddenly stopped after it was spinning rapidly.

In Shen Lingxi's line of sight, the white soul shadow floating from a distance also stopped in front of her.

"Is that you?" The visitor saw her face clearly and exhaled in surprise.

Shen Lingxi saw the face of the person who came clearly, and was also surprised, "You are not doing well during the day, why did you ...... so quickly?"

The person who came was none other than the one she had only seen in the Zhenguo Mansion during the day...... Ancestor.

With the candle flame of the reincarnation lamp, Shen Lingxi saw that the old ancestor's lips were glowing with black blue, and the eyes, ears, mouth, nose and undried blood stains were oozing out.

Shen Ling froze his nerves, deliberately ignoring the blood stains on her face, pointed to the reincarnation lamp on the eaves, and asked, "You were recruited by this lamp?" ”

The old ancestor nodded, "Not long after I took my last breath, I heard the wind chimes and followed the sound out of the city......"

As she spoke, her eyes filled with tears, she floated to the stone monument not far from the carriage, and said in a choked voice: "Even if there is no wind chime, I still want to come here to see." ”

Seeing this, Shen Lingxi's heart moved slightly.

Today, after listening to Xu Ziyao's words, she intended to come to kill Longpo to "summon spirits", but she just thought that she could "hit a blind cat and a dead mouse", bump into luck, and maybe even bump into the ghost of the lost army.

By the way, he also went out of the city with great fanfare, cooperating with Xu Ziyao and Xu Huan, and bluffing at first glance.

Unexpectedly, the dragon slope was clean, and there was not even a mouse.

But it attracted the soul of this newly lost old ancestor.

Shen Lingxi jumped out of the carriage, took off the brocade quilt tightly wrapped around his body, and walked to the side of the ancestor with a hand stove.

"Today, I heard Miss Xu say that the second uncle of the Xu family died here six years ago." She asked softly, "Didn't the old ancestor miss the late Second Uncle Xu?" ”

"No, it's not ......" The old ancestor squatted down, looked at the stone tablet, and cried bitterly.

It was just a stone tablet engraved with the words "Slashing Dragon Slope".

Unremarkable.

Shen Lingxi couldn't guess for a while what the ancestor meant by "no".

It's just that the older the women of the big families, the less easy it is to show their sorrows.

This is the first time that Shen Lingxi has cried so sadly when he met a deceased ancestor.

Shen Lingxi couldn't persuade her, so he could only accompany her quietly.

The howling cold wind of the Gobi made a whimpering sound, which echoed the bitter cry of the ancestors, and in this cold winter night, it still seemed very sad.

The old ancestor cried for a long time, and finally the sorrow in his chest dissipated a little, and the crying gradually stopped.

Shen Lingxi looked at her and said, "Since you are the revenant soul recruited by this reincarnation lamp, I can fulfill your last wish for you, do you have anything that you need me to do for you?" ”

When the old ancestor heard this, his body stiffened for a moment.

She wiped her tears, stood up, seemed to have made up her mind, looked at Shen Lingxi and said, "I want to ask you to correct my son's name, he shouldn't have died here so quietly......"
