Pei Luoyi swept his eyes, but turned around and sat down in the nearest place.

Su Nianxi pursed her lips, but as expected, she turned her face and looked outside the pavilion.

Zhu Ying and Xuanying were guarding not far away, and Bi Tao and Qingying were together and didn't know what to mutter.

The sun fell into the sky, the afterglow stained the sky, and the sunset, like blood and gold, splashed in the originally desolate plum garden, and the hideous branches became a dreamlike ghost and a thousand shadows in an instant.

The ukiyo-e of the Fuso country is gorgeous in the absurd, but it is so beautiful that people can't take their eyes off it.

Su Nianxi held her chin and sighed, "It's so beautiful!" ”

It's a pity that she doesn't have any ink on her chest, otherwise she will chant two poems in high and low, showing her demeanor as a noble lady in front of His Royal Highness the Prince.

Pei Luoyi twisted the rosary and looked at her smiling side face soaked in golden light.

This ordinary evening color, in her eyes, seemed to be a scenery that she had never seen before, which made her greedy.

"Peace." Suddenly, he spoke.

"Huh?" Su Nianxi turned his face, the smile in his eyes did not decrease, and he tilted his head slightly, "What is the matter with Your Highness?" ”

Apricot eyes Mingren, looking forward to brilliance.

Pei Luoyi suddenly found that in the eyes of the little girl, the indifference and sadness that were far away from the world seemed to be much lighter.

He pulled down a rosary and said softly: "You promised me that you would not be in danger again." ”

"Huh?"

Su Nianxi glared slightly, as if she didn't expect him to say this, it was clear that what she knew was too weird, and she stepped on Shen Moling's mind too accurately, why didn't he ask?

He bent his lips, stood up, moved to his side and sat down, looked up at him again, and said with a smile: "When did I promise Your Highness?" I don't remember much? ”

Pei Luoyi lowered his eyes, and the corner of his eyes fell on the little girl's smiling face, and he moved the rosary again, and said: "If Lianrui Zhenren refuses to retreat today, and the saint kills the courtiers, there will be abnormal chaos in front of the Temple of Heaven." Even if Zhu Ying is by your side, it can't completely protect you, you shouldn't come in person. ”

Su Nianxi laughed again when she heard this, and pinched her fingertips - this highness always regarded her as a weakness who needed shelter.

She was not as angry as before, and now she could vaguely understand that this person was not looking down on women, but the prince's forgiveness and practice of Buddhism, so that he would subconsciously protect all those who relied on him.

Just as today at the Temple of Heaven, he shelters courtiers who are more important than him in the eyes of the saints.

Raised his eyes to look at the bright sunset again, and said, "But I forced back Lianrui Zhenren and helped His Highness resolve a crisis, right?" ”

Pei Luoyi looked sideways at the gloss of broken gold under her eyes.

"I am indeed powerless, and I really cannot protect myself in the face of danger. But Your Highness, I'm not stupid, I don't know the danger and have to bump into it myself. I dare to go to the Temple of Heaven today, not only because I know that Lian Rui Zhenren will definitely retreat. Also because ......"

She smiled, turned her face, met the pair of silent eyes with her bright eyes, and said softly: "I know that Your Highness will do everything to protect me." ”

The long eyelashes trembled slightly, and Pei Luo clenched the rosary in his hand with interest.

Under the collar that is firmly clasped around the neck, the clear Adam's apple slides slightly. A butterfly fluttered its wings and floated out of Su Nianxi's smiling eyes, falling into the heart lake that he was trying to freeze again.

The small seedling that had sprouted and broken its branches broke through the dust strongly, revealing a more vivid green vitality.

He silently lowered his eyes and watched as the shackles in his heart broke layer by layer.

Su Nianxi, who was in front of him, smiled and spoke again: "So, I went to the Temple of Heaven and saw His Highness's majesty as the crown prince. I've never seen His Highness look like this, and you don't know, my heart was pounding with nervousness! ”

She deliberately approached again, and there was obvious courtesy and flattery in her softened voice.

If someone else is so complimented by such a beautiful little lady, I am afraid that she will already show her color.

But Pei Luoyi knew what this little girl was planning - she still didn't give up, and wanted him to let go and agree, and marry her.

Gently plucking the rosary, he said, "Are you nervous, or are you afraid?" ”

Su Nianxi's eyes widened slightly, and he looked up at His Highness who was like clouds and snow, and after a while, he suddenly laughed with a 'poof', leaned over, wrapped his arms, and rubbed his side face lightly on his shoulder.

He said in a low voice: "I'm afraid, how can I not be afraid?" ”

Pei Luoyi looked sideways, looking at her kitten's fluffy forehead in the afterglow, and the half arm that was leaning on was slightly straightened, and she twisted the rosary again.

Then I heard her say in a low and soft voice: "I never thought that His Highness would face such a difficult situation. ”

In the final analysis, she had never seen a real power struggle in her previous life and in her life, and she was able to get to this point, and she only relied on the news she had heard by Shen Moling's side.

Today's Temple of Heaven, the armor is strict, the grass and trees are all soldiers, and one careless is a splash of blood, the extreme oppression of the pinnacle of power, Su Nianxi can't imagine.

The overturning of imperial power is far more cruel than she thought.

She finally understood now the true meaning of this person's insidious statement of 'the position of the crown princess'.

Pei Luoyi didn't expect her to say such a sentence, and lowered her eyes to look at her again.

"Conspiracy and calculation, the blade sees blood, and even the lives of the important ministers of the court can be crushed into grass, just because that person is the son of heaven of a country high above." Su Nianxi laughed softly.

Leaning on Pei Luoyi's shoulder, he looked at the purple sunset in the distance, and said: "No wonder this power has made so many people moths to the fire desperate." ”

Pei Luoyi listened to her 'bold' words in front of him again, put down the prayer beads, and said: "Buddha said, people are born with seven feelings, six desires, why ask for no desire, why come without asking." ”

"If there is no desire, there is no desire? In this world, how can there be such a person......" Su Nianxi sighed lightly, silently looking at the beautiful burning clouds in the distance, and suddenly smelled a bloody smell in the faint sandalwood.

She was stunned, tilted her head to look at Pei Luoyi, her eyes fell on his face that was whiter than before, and after a moment of silence, she suddenly tilted her head again and smiled: "Your Highness, if I don't go today, what are you going to do?" ”

This little girl's heart is always so jumpy, Pei Luoyi is not surprised that she suddenly jumped away from another topic.

said indifferently: "Take retreat as advance." ”

Su Nian understood after a moment, "The sage forced the queen to back down for Lianrui Zhenren, and seriously injured the prince, and even injured the important ministers of the court for this, and if it is spread out, it will lose the hearts of the subjects." His Royal Highness wants to use this as a force to slowly empty the saint's monarchy? ”

This little girl is smarter than he thought.

Pei Luoyi didn't intend to hide it from her, and nodded, "If it happens, Lianrui Zhenren will become a disaster, and the ministers will not keep her anymore." The Shen family has bad intentions, and they can also take the opportunity to suppress it. ”

"As far as you can count, it is indeed the best plan that Your Highness can make in his current situation."

can maintain the stability of the court, and take the opportunity to suppress the Shen family's momentum and encircle the courtiers.

Su Nianxi looked at Pei Luoyi with a smile, "Your Highness has a thorough plan, but I broke His Highness's arrangement." ”

Pei Luoyi looked sideways, looked at the little girl beside her who was smiling but did not contain half a bit of guilt, turned her eyes away, and said, "It's okay." This is not a one-time plan, and today's goal has been achieved. ”

Seeing that it was getting dark, he made a gesture to get up.

The sleeve was caught.

Turn your head to look.

Seeing Su Nianxi coming over, he said with a smile: "In His Highness's plan, the overall situation has been taken into account, but only one person has been forgotten. ”

Pei Luoyi stared, "Who?" ”
