Chen Xiao didn't understand love, but he had seen Deputy General Nie in the army before, unable to get the love he wanted.

The look in the woman's eyes when he looked at her and her husband from afar was just like that at this moment.

This wooden stake can't be...

Shen Xiao took a breath of cold air, it turns out he is not a piece of wood!

He couldn't help but think of what he asked Huo Ying yesterday. No wonder he didn't say anything at that time. He also glanced at Jiang Xu and the prince. He thought he was thinking, but it turned out to be...

Chen Xiao wanted to go over to comfort her, but then he changed his mind and thought that someone like Huo Ying would prefer to be alone at this time, so he should not go over and cause trouble.

The adult world is so complicated.

He should stop thinking about his confidante and just ask the prince to increase his salary and give him a big red envelope at the end of the year!

Huo Ying retracted his gaze, lowered his eyes and touched the knife in his arms.

Some beautiful things are best viewed from a distance.

-

Jiang Zhili originally planned to stay in Lingyin Temple for two or three days, but now he suddenly learned that his wife was pregnant. Seeing that the temple wing was not as comfortably furnished as the Duke's Mansion, he felt dissatisfied no matter how he looked at it.

The next day, he would return home with his wife.

Only Jiang Xu stayed behind, and the master told others that Jiang Xu's fate had turned for the better, and that he needed to stay in the temple for a period of time to practice meditation before a final conclusion could be made.

At the same time, the news that Prince Dingbei went to Lingyin Temple to relax in a low-key manner also reached the ears of the emperor.

The Southern Emperor did not monitor Helan Jue. Apart from Helan Jue, the movements of ministers in the court and many princes and nobles were mostly watched under his nose.

At first he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was good that Helan Jue was willing to go out for a walk instead of staying in the house all day.

Until one day, the Southern Emperor received another letter about Helan Jue's whereabouts in Lingyin Temple. He was shocked when he opened it.

The abbot of Lingyin Temple actually calculated that Jiang Xu's short life and Helan Jue's unlucky fate could offset each other. In other words, the two of them were a match made in heaven.

One is weak and short-lived, and the other is a lonely star. When these two people get together, they can actually bring prosperity to each other.

At that time, the Southern Emperor sneered at the contents of the note. Although there was an astronomical observatory in the court, he did not really believe in the theories of celestial phenomena and ghosts and gods.

The letter also wrote that Master Jiang became displeased upon hearing the abbot's words, and from then on, whenever he met King Dingbei in the temple, he was very rude and wanted him to leave Lingyin Temple.

It means that Prince Dingbei is in a good mood now and did not bother with Young Master Jiang, or maybe he took the abbot's words to heart, after all, he did not leave Lingyin Temple.

It seemed like he was secretly competing with Young Master Jiang. No matter what Jiang Xu said or did, he was gentle and indifferent.

The two of them started arguing in Lingyin Temple, and their point of contention was to force the other to leave Lingyin Temple first, as if whoever stayed until the end would win.

The Southern Emperor only regarded this as a joke and thought it was very funny that such a farce happened to Helan Jue.

But as he laughed, Emperor Nan began to think of something deeper.

The young master of the Jiang family is like a hot commodity, everyone wants to fight for him. If he gets married, what else can his two bastard sons fight for?

Originally he was worried about how the Jiang family should deal with it, but now he saw that Helan Jue was the most suitable candidate.

However, this thought only flashed through the Southern Emperor's mind. He didn't think Helan Jue would agree to the arranged marriage, so he quickly put it out of his mind.

As time passed, even the pilgrims who went to Lingyin Temple to burn incense and worship Buddha knew that the young master of Duke Jiang's Mansion, who was raised as a girl because of a bad fate, had a new fate calculated by the abbot of Lingyin Temple, and was very unhappy because he was tied to Prince Dingbei.

He also knew that the two people's destinies were compatible. Even if Jiang Xu was unhappy, his lover would still be Helan Jue.

For a time, all kinds of rumors were spreading in the capital, and the people were talking about it with relish.

Many people also said that if Jiang Xu’s marriage to Prince Dingbei could really bring good luck to her husband and help Prince Dingbei recover from his illness and stand up again, wouldn’t that be a great thing?

Some people also say that metaphysics is nonsense. Isn't it absurd to force two people who are not in love with each other to be bound together because of such talk?

But soon there was a new statement, saying that Duke Jiang and his wife raised their son to the age of eighteen because they listened to the words of the abbot of Lingyin Temple, which proved that what the abbot of Lingyin Temple said was true.

Anyway, the whole capital knew about the scandal that Jiang Xu and Prince Dingbei were forcibly tied together by the abbot of Lingyin Temple.

Everyone knew that Jiang Xu was dissatisfied with this and had a dispute with King Dingbei.

But no one knew that these two people seemed to be at odds with each other during the day, but at night, after taking medicine and getting injections, they would lie in the same bed and act like honey.

This situation lasted for almost a month. Young Master Jiang left Lingyin Temple in anger, and Prince Dingbei left soon after, as if he had won the contest.

It has become a hot topic again. If there was Internet at that time, people who were happily discussing these things would know that their secret excitement was due to being addicted.

The rumor was so prevalent that no one mentioned Jiang Xu's unrequited love for the prince anymore.

……

We spent more than a month on the mountain of Lingyin Temple, and the season changed from late autumn to severe winter.

It was extremely cold at night, but Jiang Xu's room had a floor heating system. He had been in poor health, and every winter the entire mansion followed Princess Pingyang in being on full alert, fearing that he would freeze.

He even built a large bathroom in his yard. When the faucet was turned on, the pool was filled with hot water and mist, comparable to a hot spring.

The bathroom is connected to Jiang Xu's bedroom, minimizing the possibility of him being blown by cold wind. After taking a bath, he can go through the small door into the room warmed by the floor heating.

Jiang Xu was sitting in the pool, closing his eyes and taking a bath. He was drowsy and didn't notice the noise coming from the window in the bedroom.

Helan Jue, feeling cold all over, climbed through the window and entered the house swiftly. He glanced at the bed but saw no one. He heard the sound of water coming from next door and a faint mist drifting in from the small door.

Without hesitation, he turned around and walked towards the bathroom.

The heat drove away the coldness from his body, white mist curled up, and the slender white neck came into view first.

The man's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked over without concealing his footsteps. He stopped by the pool, bent his knees and half-knelt, his eyes seemingly nonchalantly sliding down the boy's graceful neck.

More scenery is hidden underwater, waiting for people to explore.

"Climbing over walls and climbing through windows in the middle of the night, and even peeping at people taking a bath, these are not what a gentleman does." Jiang Xu said in a lazy and hoarse voice, without even opening his eyelids.

Helan Jue chuckled: "I never said I was a gentleman, Ah Xumo is flattering me."

Jiang Xu stretched out his voice: "Not a gentleman, that is..."

Helan Jue was listening carefully when suddenly someone grabbed his ankle and pulled him into the pool.

There was only a plop sound.
