my general is so cold

After driving out of the capital, gradually away from the noise of the crowd, only the sound of the wheels of the carriage can be heard in the quiet surroundings, mixed with the soft chirping of birds from time to time,

Ye Cangming got up and raised the curtain, seeing that Bai Xu had taken off his bamboo hat, leaning leisurely against the carriage, swinging the long whip in his hand, with a green blade of grass in his mouth,

Ye Cangming smiled subconsciously, and sat down beside him: "How do you look like a king?"

Bai Xu leaned on the back of her head with one hand, spit out the grass leaves in her mouth, and said in a casual tone, "Since I'm out of the imperial city, just treat me as an ordinary person."

After finishing the conversation, Ye Cangming was stunned for a moment. For some reason, he always felt that what Bai Xu said casually might be what he really thought in his heart.

Bai Xu glanced at the dazed person beside him, moved his shoulders pretendingly, and raised his eyebrows in doubt: "Why do I always feel that my place is empty, as if something is missing?"

Ye Cangming, who came back to his senses, asked: "You don't usually carry a sword on your back, what do you need?"

Taking advantage of Ye Cangming's speaking time, Bai Xu passed his hand behind him calmly, pressed his head directly on her shoulder, and wrapped him in his arms, with a serious tone: "Well, not this time missing"

Ye Cangming pinched Bai Xu's soft waist slightly sullenly: "Little rascal..."

Bai Xu lightly rubbed the soft top of her hair, her eyes turned into crescent moons when she smiled,

The speed of the carriage was a bit slow, and it wobbled along the way. After a while, Ye Cangming felt a little drowsy. Just as he was about to close his eyes, a family appeared in front of him instantly woke him up, and he waited to get closer. An old couple is enjoying the shade in the shade outside the door,

Seeing that it was getting closer, Ye Cangming saw that Bai Xu still hadn't put on the bamboo hat, so he picked up the bamboo hat next to him in a hurry, and patted Bai Xu's face directly: "There is someone, it will be troublesome if you are recognized."

Bai Xu's nose felt sore instantly, and tears almost flowed out: "Huang, Uncle Huang, you should take it easy."

Ye Cangming coughed a few times in embarrassment, but seemed to think of something, and said in a low voice, "What else is the emperor uncle?"

Bai Xu smiled helplessly, pulled off the bamboo hat that was about to stick to her face, and held those cold fingers: "Relax a little... Lan Yin"

Ye Cangming saw Bai Xu's face was exposed again, and subconsciously wanted to block it, but a kind old voice sounded not far away: "Qingzhou, you haven't come for a long time."

When Ye Cangming heard it, he was stunned: "He, he called you Qing, Qing Zhou?"

Bai Xu stopped the carriage, rubbed the tip of her red nose, and said with a smile: "Yes, old man, there are a lot of things at home these days."

Saying that, Bai Xu took some simple food and clothes from the carriage and put them in front of the old man.

The old man frowned, and pushed away the things in Bai Xu's hands: "I said it all, don't give us these good things, it's superfluous and wasteful."

Bai Xu put the things directly on the stone table in the courtyard, and said back, "It's just some ordinary clothes and food."

The old man didn't say anything. In fact, every time he sent something, he could tell at a glance that it could not come from an ordinary family. His identity is naturally not simple, but the old couple have lived to this age, so why would they care about these things? , just treat him like a child,

The old man looked at the people on the carriage. Even if there was a scar on his face, he was still very good-looking: "Qingzhou, why did you bring someone here today? Is that young master from your family?"

Bai Xu turned her head and glanced at someone who was still surprised, the smile in her eyes deepened, and her voice was gentle: "It's my... sweetheart"

After finishing speaking, there was a trace of shyness in the ice-colored eyes, and the cheeks were slightly flushed.

The old man was taken aback for a moment, but then he still smiled and patted Bai Xu's shoulder: "He is a man who is worthy of you."

After finishing speaking, the old man handed over a small jar of dried pear petals and a few plump sea bass,

Bai Xu hooked the corner of her mouth: "Thank you, old man."

In fact, the old man was very surprised when he saw Bai Xu's smile, but he still said to the Xinchang figure: "Qingzhou, smile more in the future, don't always have a gloomy face, not everyone can bear it." Got your bad temper"

Bai Xu nodded slightly, turned and left...

Along the way afterwards, Ye Cangming kept staring at Bai Xu suspiciously,

Bai Xu smiled helplessly, and explained: "The old couple has no children, they have been living here in seclusion, and they don't care about the outside world at all, so they only think of me as the son of a rich family."

Ye Cangming shook his head: "It's not what I'm wondering about, why...why did you come here so often before?"

Bai Xu's eyes were a little erratic, and she coughed twice to cover up: "Quick, almost there."

......

Mucheng Palace

In the dimly lit bedroom, Zhu Lingyuan was still dressed in red and sitting in front of the carved mirror, her appearance was as gorgeous as usual but she couldn't hide her haggardness.

Suddenly, Zhu Lingyuan was startled by a sound outside the palace door. Just as she was about to get up to check, a mysterious man dressed in black and wearing a black hat pushed the door in. Looking again, the guard outside the door They've all passed out in disarray,

Zhu Lingyuan stood up in panic, picked up the jade hairpin behind her in a panic, pointed at the man in black who was approaching step by step: "You, don't come here!"

The man in black really stopped where he was, with a gloomy voice: "Your Highness, I am here to help you."

Zhu Lingyuan frowned suspiciously: "What can you do for me?"

The man in black spat out two words: "Revenge"

Zhu Lingyuan opened her eyes wide in shock, slowly put down the jade hairpin in her hand, and sat back on the chair in a daze: "What you said is true?"

Seeing that Zhu Lingyuan had let go of her defenses, the man in black walked up to her step by step, stretched out a finger and gently lifted her chin, eyes hidden in the black veil were full of obsession: "This picture of yours The face really resembles his..."

Zhu Lingyuan came back to her senses, and turned her face to the other side in disgust: "Who do you look like?"

Those eyes immediately returned to normal, but the voice was cold: "Of course it's your prince brother."

Hearing these four words, Zhu Lingyuan's eye circles turned red unconsciously, and her voice was very soft but filled with sadness: "Really? But they all said that I was born more like a mother, and my brother was born like a father." More, few people say we look alike..."

The man in black continued: "Now the emperor and the regent have left the palace, and they didn't bring any guards with them. It's just the two of them. There are not many opportunities like this for the princess."

Zhu Lingyuan thought about it for a while and said, "How did you find out, and why did you help me?"

The man in black replied: "The princess just needs to know that I will never lie to you. As for the reason..." The man in black paused, and then he spoke with a trace of hurt in his voice: "Aren't we all Do you live to accomplish one thing?"

After speaking, the man in black turned and left...

At night, the dim candlelight reflected on Bai Xu's face, flickering, he pinched the center of his eyebrows tiredly, closed the notebook, and was just about to blow out the light to take a rest, when he thought of a soft knock on the door Voice,

After Bai Xu opened the door, she saw Ye Cangming standing at the door holding the quilt, looking hesitant to speak,

Bai Xu raised her eyebrows, and leaned against the door frame with a calm face: "What does the emperor mean?"

Ye Cangming hesitated and said, "I, I'm afraid that you will be in danger, so it's better to live together."

After Ye Cangming finished speaking, he didn't dare to raise his head to look at Baixu, as waves of heat came over his face. Although this was one of the reasons, the most important thing was that he found that he was not used to sleeping alone now, and there was no one around him. He always felt empty in his heart, but he decided not to admit that it was because of the lack of a little rascal,

Bai Xu smiled, took the quilt from Ye Cangming's hand, turned around and went in to make the bed carefully for him, looked back at someone who had just entered the door, Bai Xu shook her head helplessly, wanting to hold his hand, But he took a chance, raised his eyes suspiciously and looked at him stumbling with his head buried, and said: "Don't, don't get me wrong, I, I really came here because I was afraid that you would be in danger."

The smile in Baixu's eyes deepened: "Okay, I know."

After hearing this, Ye Cangming saw Bai Xu's hand still hanging in mid-air, struggled for a while, then obediently put his hand on it, and gently held it...

In the early morning of the next day, Ye Cangming was aroused by the familiar smell of fish. Following the smell, he walked to the courtyard, and saw Bai Xu rolled up his sleeves, kneading the dough with a serious face. With steaming steamed sea bass,

Ye Cangming unconsciously licked his lips, just walked to the side and picked up the chopsticks to taste it, but seeing some flour on the tip of Bai Xu's nose, he couldn't help chuckling: "Wipe the tip of the nose , covered in flour"

Bai Xu looked at someone next to him who was obviously holding back his laughter, put his arms around his waist with one hand, moved him up, slowly approached him, and gently rubbed the tip of his nose, his voice pretended to be surprised: "Why is it so embarrassing?" Uncle's nose is also stained."

Ye Cangming's face was flushed, and he pushed the white catkins away with a slightly annoyed look: "Little, little rascal"

Bai Xu smiled and wiped the tip of Ye Cangming's nose with the back of her hand without flour, and said softly, "Go and sit for a while, the pastry will be ready soon."

Ye Cangming glanced at the perch next to him, and was about to take it away calmly, but was stopped by Bai Xu: "I'll pick this one later and stab you to eat it."

Ye Cangming had no choice but to obediently sit aside and watch, muttering dissatisfied in a low voice: "I'm not that three-year-old..."

However, when looking at Bai Xu, who lowered her head and seriously picked pricks, the corners of her mouth unconsciously evoked a smile,

Taking advantage of this time, Ye Cangming took a closer look at this familiar small farmhouse, only to find that although it had been three years, the place was not dilapidated at all, on the contrary, it was cleaner and tidy. He often comes to clean, and it is self-evident who this person is. Thinking of this, Ye Cangming's eyes are a little dazed. Although he can't understand Bai Xu's thoughts now, he must have hated himself for the past three years, but Why do I keep coming here...
