The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

The end of the cold seems to be the heat that burns the soul.

Lou Jian once again stood in the fire scene, but unlike the vague fragments in previous nightmares, this time, the images deep in her memory gradually became clear.

Those details that were once ignored in fear seemed to reappear...

In the study, Master Lou's words were not very clear and could be heard in fragments. Lou Jian heard them in pieces, but she heard something unusual in his pleading and urging.

When he was young, he didn't understand the meaning of those words...Now, he seems to understand.

The two men in the room kept arguing with each other. Master Lou knelt down in front of the prince and handed a long sword to his favorite student.

The prince was still an eighteen-year-old boy who had just experienced many setbacks. His hand holding the hilt of the sword kept shaking. He retreated and shook his head slightly.

When she glanced sideways, tears flashed and fell into Lou Jian's eyes.

Then, the young Lou Jian came over unconsciously holding a pair of pastries.

With his soul standing in the old place, Lou Jian was eager to find the answer, but in his dream, he could not set foot in the study room filled with depression.

Suddenly, there was a cry from behind, and Lou Jian recognized it as the voice of her eldest sister.

Turning around, the scene changed. Lou Jian remembered that this was the scene he encountered while running around in a panic.

The men in black rushed into the mansion and killed the servants without saying a word, which scared the eldest sister who was ten months pregnant. The brother-in-law fought hard with a sword, but these people set fire and killed people, and in an instant the familiar courtyard turned into a sea of ​​fire.

"Young Master, Young Master, stay here and don't go out. Wait for my subordinates to come back and take you out." A familiar voice sounded, and Lou Jian picked up the forgotten vague fragments... This was Jiang Ya's voice.

Turning around, fireworks were burning wildly. In the dream, Jiang Ya grabbed the distraught boy, crossed the sea of ​​fire where beams kept falling, and tried to take him to the water tank for shelter.

But when the young man focused his attention and saw him, he avoided him and struggled to shake him off and fled in panic.

It turned out that the Lou family had caught fire, and the arsonist was someone else. He was young, and the disaster had just happened, so his memory was confused in fear, and he poured out too much ignorant hatred.

A layer of mist formed in her eye sockets, blurring her vision. Everything around her gradually became blurry and distant. The dream faded away, but Lou Jian's tears could not stop falling.

My consciousness was sinking continuously, as if I had returned to the cold pool water, being pressed down and drowned.

It’s cold, and it’s getting colder…

Lou Jian struggled, trying to break free from the invisible things pressing down on his body. He tore at them with all his might and tried to leap into the air.

He still remembered that he couldn't fall asleep. He had to get things clear. He had to get things clear.

The surging consciousness finally opened up a gap in the constant tearing, and light appeared in the sight. The pupils gradually gathered and fell on that light... It was a constantly swaying flame.

He... woke up.

He suddenly propped himself up and turned around, seeing the prince sitting beside the bed holding a medicine jar.

As if surprised that he woke up so quickly, a hint of surprise flashed across the prince's eyes. Then he put down the medicine jar and stood up to leave... but was suddenly grabbed by him.

"How dare you!" Standing beside the bed, You Mu looked at the hand that was pressing on his wrist with such force that it had lost all blood, and he lowered his eyes and scolded in a low voice.

Lou Jian didn't let go. He remembered the injury on his back last time. He felt so painful that he almost suffocated when he was unconscious. But after waking up, the pain was mostly gone.

The other party always knew it was him.

Not wanting to put on another layer of outer clothing and disguise, Lou Jian called out softly, trying to find a response: "...Brother Crown Prince."

He raised his head hard, hoping to find a ray of familiar light in the prince's gloomy eyes.

You Mu lowered his eyelashes and turned his head to avoid the other person's sight. In the pleading eyes, his pupils trembled, but he finally softened his heart and sighed: "You are always not good at hiding your emotions, A Jian."

"Your Highness knows it was me. Your Highness has always known it was me...but you still beat me like that..."

The anger that had been stuck in his chest for a long time finally had an outlet, and Lou Jian pulled You Mu's wrist harder. Even though he knew that he deserved the prince's indifference and suppression for his unfamiliar face, people always care about that uniqueness and can't help but compare.

If the gap between what is obtained first and then is too great, a series of emotions will be triggered uncontrollably, even though Lou Jian himself knows that these emotions should not exist and are not suitable to exist.

"Yes, A Jian changed his name and surname, took on a new identity, and wants to kill me with an arrow. Tell me, how should I treat you, Lou Jian?" The prince sneered, lowered his arm to let the other party grab it, and looked over sideways.

After a moment's silence, Lou Jian propped herself up and leaned over, staring into the prince's eyes, just wanting an answer.

"They said that the prince abandoned the Lou family... That day, I saw with my own eyes that His Highness... killed... Dad."

"Tell me, tell me the truth, I want to know the truth, Prince brother..."

In the silence of the room, You Mu pulled the person away from himself, took out the sword belonging to Lou Jian from the bedside, turned the sword over, and placed it in the other person's palm.

This action startled Lou Jian. Seeing the prince pointing the tip of the sword at him, he asked with a trembling voice, "What... is this for?"

You Mu sneered, "Aren't you thinking about seeking the truth?"

He used force, and he took Lou Jian's hand and stabbed himself with the sword: "Come, I'll tell you..."

The frightened pupils of Lou Jian opposite him seemed to overlap with his own frightened self that day. All those things that were suppressed in his heart, those situations that often appeared in his dreams during the first year of imprisonment, were dug out by You Mu.

"Your Highness, go ahead! I, an old minister, am not a concern... In these troubled times, the storm is raging, you should protect yourself!"

"Your Highness... The current situation is very unfavorable to you. You are the crown prince and should not be indecisive." Master Lou's pleading and his determination to sacrifice himself and take on everything were too heavy, and it made You Mu breathless.

"...Taifu, you get up first. I will go and ask my father for help... I will go and ask my father for help..."

"No! You can't interfere in this matter anymore. You have to make a conclusion. Otherwise, General Zhao will be implicated. This is clearly a set up!"

"It is time to make a decision, Your Highness!"

"…But, I still have one wish. Your Highness, please protect my two children. That is all that is needed."

The long sword was stained with blood. It was Master Lou who was holding the blade and guiding You Mu's hand to stab towards his chest.

"No!"

"Clang!" The bloody sword fell to the ground. Lou Jian's hands were shaking as he looked at the bloody scratches on the prince's hands. He was stunned and speechless.

He couldn't bring himself to do it, and he never expected that this would be the truth.

"It's bleeding..." Seeing blood dripping from the prince's hanging hands, Lou Jian hurriedly took a towel to stop the bleeding, but was pushed away.

"You wanted to kill me, didn't you? Why did you drop your sword?"

Looking at Lou Jian's panic-stricken look, You Mu forced a smile but didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

He was led like this that day, and the sword fell on the body of the tutor.

Blood dripped into his eyes, blurring his vision. Turning his head, this scene was seen by Xiao Lou Jian who came running over. The other party was obviously frightened and fled in panic. He lowered his head and saw that his hands were stained with the blood of Master Lou, and he was unable to chase after him.

However, before he could get his men to protect the Lou family, he had just stepped out of the study room with difficulty when the secret guards sent by Lord Xiao came to slaughter him in front of him...

The other party, receiving the emperor's order, acted unscrupulously.

With the support of General Zhao from his mother's family, and Tutor Lou who came from a family of profound learning as his mentor, the prince had both fame and ability, and was also favored by the Emperor. He was in great glory at that time and was the envy of others.

But things have been going smoothly for too long, and whenever there is a setback, it will be like a storm.
