The sound of the candle burning on the side "snapped" and exploded. Xuan Shuang was slightly shocked, raised his eyes and squinted, and when he could identify the source of the voice, he shook his head and smiled bitterly, lowered his head deeply, and said: "Look, what I said is so touching, even the candle will be touched by it, why are you the only one who is indifferent?"

The eyes saw that the flames were high and low, the light was extinguished, and for no reason there was a kind of horror that the candle of life burned to the end. The more I don't want to think about it, the more my thoughts linger in my head.

looked at Cheng Jiaxuan's peaceful sleeping face, and said softly: "Xiaoxuan, at any time, you are the quietest one." Actually, you have a lot of thoughts in your heart, but you never want to talk about them, but I can only say that you are a failed silencer. Many of the secrets behind it, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can find out. It's precisely your suffering, since you don't say it, no one will care. In this world of the jungle, to paraphrase my master's most admired sentence, the winner is the king and the loser is Kou. The weak will not receive any sincere sympathy except for being embarrassed. I am the only one who peeks at you a few times from time to time, knowing that you are still like an ordinary person, with desires and desires. ”

I got up and walked around the room a few times, then went back to the bedside. Seeing that Cheng Jiaxuan's face seemed to have a little sadness, after a closer look, it seemed to be his own delusion. sighed: "You see, the one who is close to Zhu is red, and the one who is close to ink is black, and now I am like you, and I have become nervous." You're not the best lover, just one of a bunch of poor admirers. My master doesn't have you in his heart, you and I are very clear, but although you 'know the difficulty', you refuse to retreat. In the past six months or so, whether it was the initial lack of intersection or the subsequent indifference, you have always insisted on loving him, refused to give up, and refused to take a step back. Your feelings are so humble, yet so strong, that even I can't help but be moved by you. Love is like a net, but you are a useless tailor and a failed hunter, who can't net his person, let alone his heart. After that, don't call yourself his savior. You still don't know enough that this is not grace for him, but the most cruel torture. Just imagine, how arrogant he is, bent on showing the highest posture in front of the world. He wants awe, not admiration. You are in love with him in every way, but it seems that he is no different from those ordinary men, how can he be happy? The most important thing is that he won more and lost less in competitions with others, and the only time he was seriously injured and dying, he had to hide in a deserted temple in the suburbs to recuperate, but he was seen by you again. In the future, as long as he sees you, he will naturally think of this great shame and humiliation, how do you say he feels? He does not want to receive favors from others, and would rather the world be sorry for him, so it is logical for him to become a demon and take revenge on the world. It is an irrevocable fact that you treat him well. He is also very good at digging into the horns, on the one hand, to vent, on the other hand, to use a hundred times the bad for you to offset the difference. As I said earlier, he can only be controlled, but he cannot be praised. Hey, actually, I can understand both of you, but I can't help one of you-"

He was complacent and sorrowful, when he suddenly heard the rustling of footsteps outside the room. He was now so sharp that he could not hide the slightest noise. Raising his head and looking around, worried that someone wanted to be unfavorable to Cheng Jiaxuan, he decisively blew out the candle, jumped out of the house through the side window, went around in a circle, and turned back to the side again.

Sure enough, I saw a figure standing in front of the hall in the distance, standing tall, and the back looked quite a little sad and sorrowful. Just by this first glance, you can see that he is not evil. Inferences are often made because of a small amount of thought at the beginning. deliberately do not make a noise, and quietly cover up. It wasn't until he was not more than half a foot behind him that a torch was lit with a "clatter", and he shouted, "Who is it?"

The man seemed taken aback, and replied vaguely, "Don't do it, it's me." Xuanshuang said, "Who knows who you are?" pulled out the dagger at his waist and stabbed it at the man's waist. This move was purely a temptation, and there was no intention to hurt the enemy.

The man hurriedly turned around, but he could avoid it, Xuanshuang took advantage of the gap to raise the torch and shine it on his face, and when he saw it, he couldn't help but be shocked, and said, "Huh, Lord Cheng, why are you?" Shangguan Yaohua saw that he had recognized him left and right, and there was no need to hide it, so he lowered his arm stupidly, and said with a straight face: "What's the matter? What are you going to do?"

Xuan Shuang smiled: "I didn't think about anything, we two are brothers, have you forgotten? Hey, now for my master, the palace is very tightly defended, you broke into the Snow Palace at night, and you met me." If you encounter a patrol guard, I am afraid that if you don't say a word, I will tie you up as an assassin. At that time, Emperor Ama will be investigated, and Prince Fu will not be able to get out of it. Shangguan Yaohua snorted coldly and said, "So, I should thank you a lot?"

Xuan Shuang smiled: "Polite, polite, don't dare to take this seriously." Seeing that his gaze was dodging, he glanced straight to the side of the main hall. Ben was puzzled, and after answering a few words with him, his eyes lit up, and he smiled and said: "Oh, I know! How can you have such a good interest in admiring the moon, and blame me for being stupid! You came to see Xiaoxuan, right? That's right, in the past few days since she was injured, Huang Ama and the princes and ministers have been running forward and backward, but no matter if he makes a formality, whether he is sincere or false? I have never come to visit you once as an elder brother, and I have also privately scolded you for having no conscience. Now it seems that this sentence can be taken back. ”

Shangguan Yaohua's face looked even darker as ink in the night, and he said coldly: "She's not my person, why should I come to see her?"

Xuanshuang recognized this matter, how could he give up easily, and said with a smile: "No, then in the middle of the night, you don't sleep well, what are you doing to Yin Xue Palace to wander?" Shangguan Yaohua also admitted death as he did, and refused to retort when he said it, and argued forcefully: "On the order of my father-in-law, I came to inquire about the situation." ”

Xuan Shuang smiled and said, "Okay, what's the situation? Could it be that you are worried that there will be another assassin attack in my Yinxue Palace, so you specially come to wait, just wait for another sword from time to time?

Shangguan Yaohua's face was a little stiffer, and he said, "You can see it." Yes, the last assassination was indeed the result of my stepfather's careful design. He wanted to coerce Concubine Yun into submission, and at the same time, he was also ......"

Xuan Shuang said: "It's also self-loyalty, isn't it? Look at other people's righteous sons, they are willing to fight with their lives to save her, and it is not self-evident whether they are sincere or not? Hey, who knows that it is a poor victim." Prince Quan's fortune is a hundred secrets, not only me, but also anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that he can only be more vigilant against his intentions. ”

Shangguan Yaohua smiled bitterly and said, "I know that what he did was wrong, but since he is a son of man and a minister again, he has to obey his orders, how can I have the opportunity to question it? In this palace, the only one who can understand me is you. ”

Xuan Shuang nodded and said, "However, from my standpoint, I also have to teach you a few words." You have to dare to face yourself, since you care about her, why don't you say it, and you don't want to go in to see her? ”

Shangguan Yaohua said: "No, I'm different from her. In other words, her life is much simpler than mine, and the things we have to pursue and even protect are different......" Xuan Shuang said: "What's the difference? Don't think about shirking responsibility, you shouldn't be such a cowardly person, right?"

Shangguan Yaohua turned around unnaturally, turned his back to him, and only regained some confidence during his conversation, and said, "If you are not in my position, you can't understand my feelings." ”

Xuan Shuang said angrily: "I understand! Of course I understand! I know that you are worried, thinking that once you recognize this relative, it will bring her trouble, and Prince Fu will not let go of this handle." In order to protect her, you would rather sacrifice small profits, and your brothers and sisters will not recognize each other when they see each other. I'd rather hurt her feelings than endanger her peace. Therefore, although you don't care on the surface, behind the scenes, you still pay attention to her, whether it is cold or warm, happy or sad. Take care of her from time to time, just in your way. ”

Shangguan Yaohua's heart was like ten thousand sharp swords cutting together, and he was sad and sad for a while. looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and said slowly: "You are wrong, if you recognize her, you must also bear the burden of the thief at the same time." No matter how enlightened the emperor is, he will spare me from dying, and he will never leave me to do things by his side. I have lost everything, but I am just a lowly people who can be bullied, I have had enough hard life, and I really don't want to go through it again. To tell you the truth, I just can't give up the glory and wealth I get, and there is no need to lie to you. Don't think too much of me. ”

Xuan Shuang was so annoyed that he punched him in the arm and said angrily: "What kind of villain are you pretending? I have only heard of hypocrites, and I have seen you as a 'hypocrite' for the first time." All true thoughts must be hidden, and no one can understand it, what good is it for you?" Shangguan Yaohua's arm suddenly retracted, and he gasped. Xuan Shuang knew that he was too strong to be able to show himself, and it was impossible for him to show softness, so he said strangely: "Hey, what's wrong with you?"

Shangguan Yaohua quickly adjusted his expression and sneered, "Nothing. Maybe you're right, I don't even dare to face it. But what I'm worried about is far beyond the fact that a boy like you, who grew up with a golden spoon, will never understand. You can make mistakes because there is another opportunity to correct them, and I have done my best to climb to where I am today. One wrong step and you lose the whole game. "Take a step, go back to the way you came, and the shadow is dragged for a long time in the night.

Until the left foot dragged half a step, followed the right foot, and could not step on it anymore, and said again: "What I told you today, you should think that you are drunk and forget all about it when you wake up." Don't tell her I've been here. Don't give her empty hopes, I will never admit it. If you don't want to be a talkative villain in her eyes, you'd better listen to me. ”

Xuan Shuang said: "I'm a real villain, so it doesn't matter." However, if you dare to do it and don't dare to admit it, you are a liar. Shangguan Yaohua smiled bitterly: "Whatever you say, anyway, in front of my name, I will add some infamy to others at will." What's worse than this is that there is one, and I don't care about this one. Without waiting for Xuan Shuang to speak, he turned around suddenly, handed over the object in his hand, and said, "Throw it into the medicine jar and stir it together." ”

Xuanshuang was confused, she didn't understand how he spoke, why she had no head or brain. I subconsciously took it in my hand, and felt that the palm of my hand was slightly cold and sticky, and the edges were even more fluffy to the touch.

He had never been a timid man, so he spread out his palms and approached the torch to look. I saw that I was holding a long emerald green grass, with many small thorns growing densely on the rhizomes and branches. The flowers and leaves are oval, and the end of the verdant shows a little bit of withered yellow, and there are many small balls on the flower buds, which are horizontally grown in the east and west. I always feel that this thing is very familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it.

Circling in my mind, I remembered a few short sentences that I had memorized like mud, and suddenly opened up, and said happily: "So this ...... Is that the legendary 'mysterious herb' where did you find it...... Come to ......" reflected the firelight, and suddenly saw Shangguan Yaohua's face with a blue and a purple face, which seemed to be newly knocked wounds. There was another long scratch, the blood had just scabbed, and it still looked a little red and swollen. Exclaimed: "Your face ......"
