The corners of the walls were covered with spider webs, the courtyard was full of fallen leaves, and the blooming flowers were sparsely growing in the flower beds, blown by the wind and falling away.Even in the daytime, the cold palace was as cold as ever.

The palace people were busy doing their own things, it was difficult to bump into someone at this time, and no one would visit the Leng Palace at this time, except for other purposes.

Luo Ying pushed open the dilapidated door of the cold palace and walked in, walked straight through the living room into the inner room, there was a bulging lump on the bed against the wall, Luo Ying walked over and lifted the quilt, revealing Chu Jin's pale and blue cheeks come out.

Although his eyes were tightly closed, Chu Jin's body was shaking uncontrollably, and the temperature on his body was terribly low.He was already thin and weak, and was teased by Chu Fengrui. After soaking in cold water for nearly half an hour, his whole body froze.

Seeing Chu Jin curled up into a ball, tightly gripping the thin quilt with his fingers, Luo Ying frowned, took the brocade quilt from Xiao Jun's hand, wrapped Chu Jin, and picked him up from the bed.

Chu Jin didn't have much flesh on his body, so it wasn't difficult for Luo Ying to hug him, but he needed to be warmed up quickly to avoid sequelae.

"Hurry up."

"Good lord."

Xiaojun took away the old quilt on the bed, spread the blankets he brought on the bed, made three layers, and then spread soft sheets. After doing all this, Luo Ying put Chu Jin back on the bed.

"It's cold, don't go..."

Chu Jin's hand grabbed Luo Ying's skirt at some point, and when Luo Ying lifted the quilt and put him back on the bed, he hugged Luo Ying, and couldn't help shrinking into Luo Ying's arms.

"..."

Luo Ying looked at Chu Jin who was clinging to him, and sighed.

"Let it go, it won't be cold soon."

"..."

Chu Jin didn't move, Luo Ying squeezed Chu Jin's hand and wanted to take it away, but Chu Jin's hand was not taken away, but it stimulated Chu Jin, and Chu Jin hugged him even tighter, as if all the joints were fixed Luo Ying couldn't move his fingers for a while.

In Chu Jin's consciousness, Luo Ying was the only temperature he touched in the cold, and he would never let go no matter what.

After a while, Luo Ying was defeated.

"Forget it, Xiaojun, go and light the charcoal basin, the room is getting colder."

"Good lord."

Xiaojun went to work, and Luo Ying sat on the bed. As soon as he sat down, Chu Jin leaned over and buried his face tightly in Luo Ying's chest, as if he had found support, and his tense face eased.

After lighting the four corners of the room with charcoal basins, the temperature of the room gradually rose, and Chu Jin's body finally stopped shaking.

Xiaojun took the boiled ginger soup out of the food box, and wanted to feed it to Chu Jin himself, but Chu Jin was unwilling to lift his head from Luo Ying's chest.

"give it to me."

So Jun put the soup bowl on the table and quickly backed out.

Luo Ying looked down at Chu Jin lying on his chest, with a warm voice.

"This ginger soup is to drive away the cold, can you sleep after drinking it?"

Chu Jin remained silent, rubbing his cheek against Luo Ying's chest but not raising his head.

"good……"

Luo Ying touched the back of Chu Jin's head and continued to comfort him.

"Get up and drink, your body will be warm after drinking."

Hearing this, Chu Jin opened his eyes, raised his head and looked at Luo Ying in confusion for a while, then leaned his head back again, but this time he didn't bury his whole face on Luo Ying.

Luo Ying picked up the soup bowl, scooped up a spoonful, blew it and brought it to Chu Jin's mouth, Chu Jin opened his mouth to drink, Luo Ying took back the spoon, scooped up another spoonful and sent it, and so on and on, a bowl of ginger soup Bottom soon.After feeding, Luo Ying wiped Chu Jin's mouth with a handkerchief, and then put the bowl back.

"film……"

"Um"

Luo Ying was waiting for Chu Jin's next words, but he didn't hear Chu Jin speak. He looked down and found that Chu Jin had closed his eyes again, but this time he was not in a coma, but asleep.

Chu Jin's face was no longer pale, and his dark lips also returned to blood. Luo Ying felt relieved, carefully held Chu Jin's hand, and took him away from his waist. After a while, his clothes were all covered He crumpled.

After putting Chu Jin down from his body, Luo Ying put him on the bed, and then covered him with a quilt. After doing all this, Luo Ying began to sit by the bed in a daze.

He felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, and he stood up and left after Xiaojun reminded him outside the door.

……

Chu Jin slept until night, and the sky outside was completely dark, only a lamp was lit on the table, illuminating the room dimly. This situation will infinitely magnify the loneliness of a person.

Chu Jin sat up and looked around blankly. From entering the water to unconsciousness, the memory in his mind gradually became clear. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed, and ran out barefoot.

……

Luo Ying asked Xiaojun to wait outside, and pushed open the door with the food to go in. Just two steps away, a figure suddenly ran out of the inside, and jumped into his arms, almost knocking over the food box in his hand.

"what happened?"

"Shadow... I thought you were gone..."

Chu Jin buried his head on Luo Ying's body, took a deep breath, and the breath mixed with the fragrance of medicine was inhaled into his chest, calming his panicked heart.

"Okay, it's such a big man."

Luo Ying patted Chu Jin's shoulder, motioning him to let go, and at the same time felt very helpless for Chu Jin's behavior, why did he become so clingy after soaking in water once?

In Luo Ying's view, Chu Jin was just suffering from the cold, but he didn't know that Chu Jin actually walked through the gate of hell. After experiencing the threat of death, some thoughts will naturally change, and what he desires will become more persistent.

Although reluctant, Chu Jin let go of Luo Ying, and the two walked towards the inner room. When Chu Jin climbed into bed, Luo Ying put the food on the small table and pushed it in front of him.

"You should be hungry, eat quickly..."

Because Chu Jin has been starving and has a large appetite, Luo Ying usually prepares a lot for him, and a small table is almost full.

Looking at the sumptuous meal in front of him, Chu Jin suddenly remembered the way Luo Ying fed him when he was in a daze. Although it was just a bowl of soup, he would never forget that feeling.

"It doesn't suit your taste? Or is your body uncomfortable?"

Seeing that Chu Jin didn't move, Luo Ying was a little puzzled.

"No, no."

Fearing that Luo Ying would see something, Chu Jin lowered his head in a panic, picked up his chopsticks and began to pick up the rice.

Seeing this, Luo Ying looked away.

"What's going on today?"

Hearing this sentence, Chu Jin suddenly stopped picking up vegetables, and then continued to eat as if nothing had happened.

"It's nothing, I accidentally fell into the lake."

Chu Jin knew that Luo Ying had a background, otherwise he would not have helped him deal with the palace servants in the cold palace, but the one who attacked him today was Chu Fengrui, the prince of Lin Kingdom, this is not someone who can be easily moved, Chu Jin didn't want to Get Luo Ying into trouble.

"Really...you can't even go on the road? Go to that lake?" Luo Ying looked at Chu Jin with a half-smile, thanks to him thinking of such a lame lie.

Knowing that Luo Ying had seen through, Chu Jin immediately said:

"Ying, let me handle it myself? I want to do it myself, and I will never let anyone who bullied me go."

"..."

Luo Ying saw that there was darkness in Chu Jin's eyes, and he had no doubts about Chu Jin's cruelty, because the first order Chu Jin gave after he ascended the throne was to eunuch Chu Fengrui, and Chu Fengrui is a man who loves women and loves nothing , not to mention that he was once the prince of a country, if he is not humane in the future, one can imagine the blow to him.

Even so, Chu Jin did not let Chu Fengrui go, and finally let him be eaten alive by wolf dogs.

There are also other enemies of Chu Jin, all of them are better than dead when they are alive, and there is no body when they die. Thinking of those narrations, Luo Ying shuddered, and couldn't look directly at Chu Jin now.

"Shadow?" Luo Ying's silence made Chu Jin a little uneasy.

"Um"

Luo Ying lowered her head and put away the thoughts in her eyes.

"You have a good rest today, you don't need to do your homework."

With that said, Luo Ying stood up and reached for the cloak.

Chu Jin became anxious.

"Are you going?"

"Well, it's getting late."

Luo Ying put the cloak on her shoulders and began to tie the straps.

"Shadow, can you..."

Can you stay with me, even if it's just for one night.

The cold palace is too deserted for people...

But Chu Jin didn't have the courage to say that he was afraid of Luo Ying's rejection, and he was even more afraid of offending Luo Ying. Luo Ying would not like a wayward pawn.

Luo Ying finally left, and Chu Jin sat alone under the lamp, the brush in his hand was drawn across the rice paper, all of which were one word.

……

"Wen Li has seen the master."

Yin Yu, now Wen Li knelt on one knee in front of Luo Ying.

"Get up."

Luo Ying walked past him and sat down, Xiao Jun served the tea, Luo Ying picked it up and took a sip, showing a bit of satisfaction in his expression.

Wen Li stood up and stood respectfully in front of Luo Ying, his expression was no longer as crazy as it was a few days ago, he seemed to have figured it out, Luo Ying was very satisfied with this, he always knew that Wen Li was a person who knew the current affairs.

But, now Luo Ying is a shameful person...

"Wen Li, do you know why your father died?"

Sure enough, Wen Li's fingers tightened, and his expression was not as calm as before.

"Subordinate...I don't know."

"It's very simple."

Luo Ying put down the teacup, stood up and walked to the window, her eyes fell on the snow outside the window.

"Have you ever seen a literati who successfully rebelled?"

Wen Li was startled, and suppressed his hatred for Luo Ying.

"What does master mean?"

"Your father is very knowledgeable and a well-known university scholar in Lin country. To be honest, I admire him very much."

"Didn't you kill him anyway?"

"Why not kill?"

Luo Ying turned her head to look at Wen Li with a smile.

"We all know that persimmons should be squeezed softly. Killing your father is as easy as squeezing an ant. If you don't kill him, why don't you kill me?"

"you--"

Wen Li's chest heaved, wishing he could kill Luo Ying with a sword.

Luo Ying seemed to have not seen Wen Li's reaction, and continued talking on his own.

"If you don't want to be easily determined by others like your father, you have to control the life and death of others. The more lives you hold in your hands, the less people can kill you."

"what should I do?"

"Go to the border."

"Border?"

"Lin country is weak, and other clans will attack it in groups. Now the border is raging, it is a good place to sharpen. As long as you can make meritorious service and hold the military power in your hand, the emperor will have to weigh it if he wants to kill you."

"..."

"Your father died because of his words. You should understand that knives and guns are more deterrent than brushes..."

"The subordinates understand that they are willing to fight for the master."

Wen Li knelt down again.

"Very well, let's start tomorrow."

"Subordinates obey."

"Go down."

"Subordinates retire."

When Wen Li left, Luo Ying looked at Xiaojun who was on the side.

"I have a document here. If you send someone to bring it to General Wu, he will naturally know how to do it."

"Good lord."

There are also people in the army who form cliques for private interests, Luo Ying doesn't want the good seedlings he sent to be ruined inexplicably.

……

Snow began to fall outside the window again, the world is not far from chaos...
