Reborn Black Lotus can read minds

"Then why did you have to leave me then?" Shen Yuan blinked her innocent eyes.

"The situation at that time was very complicated. If the situation remains like this, the only thing waiting for us is separation or death."

"I don't want it." Shen Yuan whispered. "I don't want to live in a world without you. I would rather die. If brother Xiao He dies, I will die with him. I will give up everything."

Xiao Xingyun rarely heard her say such touching words, so he couldn't help but kiss her seductive red lips. It was a simple kiss, a quick peck on the lips.

"Okay, I will let us live well, be together well, and never be separated in this life." Xiao Xingyun rarely makes promises, but as long as he makes a promise, he can usually keep it.

Xiao Xingyun gently raised her chin. He looked at her seductive red lips lovingly, preparing for a deeper kiss.

At this time, there was suddenly some movement below.

The two of them turned around and saw Zhou Changxian walking up from below.

Soldiers on both sides saluted him.

But at a glance, he saw Shen Yuan and Xiao Xingyun who were already sitting upright. After being startled, he walked forward and said, "I have met Master Xiao. I came in a hurry yesterday and it was a celebration banquet, so I didn't have time to talk about the business. . I didn’t want to come over just as I was about to go find General Huo.”

Xiao Xingyun said: "Is something wrong?"

Zhou Changxian's eyes flashed slightly, and he smiled when he looked at him: "I heard that it has been more than a month since the princess was rescued. Before, her body needed to rest, but now she is well. Your Majesty means to take her back to the capital. And General Huo is here The attack on the northern barbarians made them surrender to our court, weakening their strength, and avoiding the scourge of war at the border in the next few years. This is a great contribution, and it should be announced to the world, and officials and nobles will be promoted. The Ministry of Rites even issued documents for the seal. It's already being planned, but I don't know when General Huo will leave?"

Xiao Xingyun glanced at him: "If you don't ask him about this, why are you asking me?"

Zhou Changxian felt that Xiao Xingyun's words were more probing, so he did not panic. Instead, he glanced around first, and then looked at Xiao Xingyun. He lowered his voice and sighed softly: "Master Xiao, the throne is just given up. Yes? Even though the current Holy Lord is your brother and my brother-in-law, the imperial court really just let this matter pass easily? Aren't you afraid that the Holy Lord will pursue you later?"

Although Xiao Shun's temperament is not enough to make Xiao Xingyun feel at ease, he is not afraid of his pursuit.

So Xiao Xingyun waved his hands impatiently, wanting to send this person away quickly.

Zhou Changxian's expression suddenly became stagnant: "What are you..."

Xiao Xingyun's face turned a bit cold: "The Yan family was found to have colluded with King Pingnan and rebelled against the party. They had a grudge against the Holy Emperor and the court. Later, the Yan family was wiped out. The survivors changed their names to Ye. I took the Yan family in The only heir, Ye Jin, is a commendable act of justice, but don't you and I know whether the Yan family is colluding? The late emperor did not have the so-called transfer order at that time. After the Yan family arrived in Youzhou, they knew that something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late, and the military power had already fallen into the hands of the thieves. Firstly for self-protection, secondly for the overall situation, and thirdly for the common people, they came up with the tactic of coercion, first helping King Ping Nan succeed, and then waiting for news from the court. It was just a borrowed money from the court. This is nothing more than a frame-up. Master Zhou’s words don’t sound like comfort, but rather like trying to sow discord between me and the Holy One. What’s your intention?”

Shen Yuan wanted to laugh when he heard this.

Zhou Changxian never expected that Xiao Xingyun would say such a thing. How could he dare to have such thoughts? He quickly apologized, did not dare to speak, and retreated.

Xiao Xingyun has no time to pay attention to Zhou Changxian's worries now. If he were usually patient, he would pour a pot of tea with him and have a good talk. But today, he still had something important to ask the little Shen Yuan in his arms.

"I heard that the Dowager Queen asked you to bring a message to His Royal Highness before she died?" Xiao Xingyun seemed to be casually asking, "What message did you bring?"

Shen Yuan smiled slightly, naturally knowing that he minded this very much, and insisted on using such a light tone, thinking that others would not be able to hear it.

"She didn't mean anything, she just wanted to ask me quietly," Shen Yuan looked at Xiao Xingyun, "Have you ever liked His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Xiao Xingyun was a little surprised, but he seemed to be very curious about this question, "How did you answer it?"

Shen Yuan said honestly: "Of course not."

Xiao Xingyun didn't believe it, "You are trying to please me by saying that."

Shen Yuan pouted: "Of course I'm not trying to please you."

"Then tell the truth."

Shen Yuan blinked, "Then...it happened a little bit."

Xiao Xingyun was really furious, "When did it happen? How much is one point?"

Shen Yuan said respectfully: "Your Majesty, you are the omnipotent Sun Moon Pavilion, so why do you still care about these small things? One second you are smiling, and the next second you are furious. With this kind of weird temper, you still need someone to take care of you. That’s good, otherwise it would explode before you know when.”

Xiao Xingyun naturally heard that she was joking, and smiled slightly, "The little maid from the third hospital was the most useful in the past. She is like a little rabbit, extremely cute, and it is very relaxing to play with."

Shen Yuan naturally knew who he was talking about, so he became silent now: "Your little maid is frightened every day. She was framed by this person and abducted by that person. You don't even know how sad you feel."

Xiao Xingyun held her in his arms, "It's time to watch the sunset."

Shen Yuan said happily: "Okay! It's agreed this time, let's watch the sunset on the horizon together!"

The red light of the setting sun shines on two people, one tall and one short, and their long figures fall in the forest.

The incense in the mountains is burning slowly, the long bells are ringing from afar, and the forest is peaceful.

Xiao Xingyun stood humbly in front of the huge sunset, looking at little Shen Yuan beside him.

Shen Yuan was fascinated, and all he could think of were the happy times in his previous life.

From the beginning, Xiao Xingyun didn't care that he would die a good death because of his sins, let alone that he would go to the eighteenth level of hell after his death.

But now he feels that the rest of his life is too short to stay with her.

So he began to be afraid, afraid that there would be no her in hell, afraid that he would not meet and stay with her in the next life.

The sunset is getting farther and farther away, and has long since receded to the other side of the world.

The memories of the previous life were countless pains and sacrifices for him or her.

Fortunately, they had broken free. Together, they jumped out of the tragedy of their previous lives and stood at a place where they could reach the sky with their hands.

"Little Yuan'er, you can never escape."

"Well, I won't run away this time."

"So Xiao Shun is the emperor now?"

"Ah."

"Can you ask him to give me an official position?"

"...What do you want to be?"

"Hey, it doesn't matter what I think."

"?"

"You must always be my minister."

"Okay, then I will always be your minister."
