Sitting in the rickety carriage, Ye Sinian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he could see the majestic and bustling gate of the capital through the window.

He turned his head, glanced at Zi Yuan behind him, and said curiously: "Have you been to the capital before?"

Zi Yuan, who was leaning sideways looking at the script in his hand, trembled at his fingertips, quickly raised his eyelids to glance at him, and said, "Come here."

A trace of doubt flashed across Ye Sinian's eyes. The man in front of him has been a little strange since last night. Could it be that he is hiding something from him?

Putting away the doubt in his eyes, Ye Sinian curled his lips and lay down on Zi Yuan's long legs, blinked, and said, "When did you come?"

"Many years ago." Zi Yuan's leg muscles tensed subconsciously for a moment, but soon relaxed again.

The doubts in Ye Sinian's heart were even worse, he frowned slightly, his deep eyes met Zi Yuan's dodging eyes, and he said in a low voice, "Is there something you are hiding from me?"

Zi Yuan's hand holding the script suddenly trembled, and his eyes instantly became guilty.

Seeing his performance, Ye Sinian's heart tightened suddenly, and his face sank a little uncontrollably. He straightened his body and suddenly pulled the distance closer. He held the other end of the script with his other hand, and looked down. His eyes said: "What is it?"

Facing those eyes filled with anger, Zi Yuan's heart trembled, and he swallowed uncontrollably, just about to confess to be lenient, when he heard the horse neighing outside the carriage, the carriage stopped immediately.

The two looked at each other, and a trace of doubt flashed in their eyes at the same time.

Ye Sinian got off Zi Yuan, sat up straight and said expressionlessly, "What's going on?"

"May I ask if the person in the carriage is Taoist Master Zi Yuan?" A sharp voice sounded from outside the carriage, doubts flashed across Ye Sinian's eyes, and he turned to look at Zi Yuan beside him.

Zi Yuan shrunk his neck when he saw him, and couldn't help looking at the car door with a bit of disgust, but under Ye Sinian's gaze, he still insisted, "It's me."

"That's it! Daoist, please sit down!" As soon as the words fell, the carriage moved forward.

When Ye Sinian heard that special voice, he already had a guess in his mind, he glanced at Zi Yuan expressionlessly, then opened the window and looked out of the car.

A whole team of fully armed guards surrounded the carriage tightly, and the boy in Tsing Yi was pulled into another carriage by a tall man, turned a corner and drove to nowhere.

Ye Sinian withdrew his gaze, closed the car window again, and frowned in thought.

It's not that the original owner has never been here before, and he is not too unfamiliar with the structure of the capital. The road they are walking now is obviously heading towards the imperial palace...

"Ling Qiu..." Zi Yuan looked at him guiltily for a long while, then bit the bullet and leaned over, tentatively stretching out his arms to wrap his arms around his shoulders.

"What's the matter?" After being interrupted from thinking, Ye Sinian raised his eyebrows and looked at him, his eyes were calm, and there was nothing strange in his voice.

Seeing that he didn't refuse her approach, Zi Yuan was overjoyed, couldn't help but hug him even tighter, and said with a shy face: "Ling Qiu, I really didn't mean to hide it from you..."

Ye Sinian smiled suddenly, raised his hand and touched his cheek, his eyes were gentle: "Good boy, we'll talk when we go back."

Facing his eyes full of gentle smiles, Zi Yuan's heart skipped a beat for some reason, and he closed his mouth embarrassingly.

====

The carriage drove straight into the palace gate, and when he got out of the carriage, Ye Sinian finally confirmed his guess.

After scanning around expressionlessly, Ye Sinian looked at Zi Yuan beside him.

Different from the usual hippie smiling face or pretending to be melancholy, Zi Yuan's eyes at this time were extremely cold, and there seemed to be unmelted frost between his brows. inviolable.

He raised his eyes expressionlessly to look at the resplendent palace in front of him, a mocking smile appeared on his lips, he turned his head to look at the old eunuch who bowed his head to one side, and his voice was also cold and mocking: "This time I want to What do you want me to do?"

The old eunuch trembled all over, didn't even dare to lift his head, and quickly said in a flattering tone: "Your Majesty has been quite unwell these days, please invite Taoist Master Zi Yuan to come with us."

Zi Yuan's eyes darkened, he looked at the tall palace in front of him again, took a deep breath, and then stretched out his hand to Ye Sinian who was beside him.

Looking at the slender palm stretched out in front of him, Ye Sinian's eyes flickered, he pursed his lips and reached out to hold his hand.

The eyes of the old eunuch who lowered his head and glanced at them from time to time trembled, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze. He didn't dare to say anything, and after a salute, he turned around and led the way.

Involuntarily clenched Ye Sinian's hand, Zi Yuan pursed his lips, and walked towards the palace.

"Are you finally willing to come back?" Hearing the footsteps, the tall man in a bright yellow dragon robe opened his mouth without looking back.

The strength in his hands involuntarily increased, Zi Yuan stopped his steps when he heard this, but he didn't answer, just stared at his back with a frown.

He had expected his reaction, and the man didn't look angry. He put down the scissors in his hand and turned around.

The sight that looked over suddenly focused on the hands of the two of them who were holding each other tightly.

Frowning, he frowned and looked up and down at the upright and temperamental Ye Sinian, before he had time to express his opinion, Zi Yuan suddenly darkened his face, and shielded him behind him to block his sight .

Almost laughed angrily at his gesture of protecting food, he stared at him and said, "Brother asked, is this your attitude?"

Ye Sinian, who was protected behind and also blocked his sight, raised his brows, and his guess was finally verified.

Zi Yuan frowned, carefully blocked the lover behind him, and very bluntly attracted the firepower: "Your Majesty's words are wrong, the poor Taoist is a monk, where is the elder brother?"

The dissatisfaction in his heart was immediately ignited by this sentence, the emperor stared at him with wide eyes and said: "Then tell me, could it be that you jumped out of a rock?! You refused to return to Beijing all these years , are you still reasonable?!"

Zi Yuan twitched the corners of his mouth, and took a step back indiscriminately, but his tone was not subdued at all: "What are you doing back in Beijing?! I am a Taoist priest, and I am a completely outsider! Outside, I am a wild crane and can do whatever I want! In the capital ? It would be strange not to be torn apart by your sons!"

"You bastard!" It had been many years since someone said so mercilessly, and the emperor immediately became annoyed, his chest heaved with anger, and the extremely carefully trimmed and combed beard on his chin was also trembling with anger.

Zi Yuan was not afraid of his anger at all, instead he looked him up and down, and said: "Didn't you say that your body is not comfortable? I think your body is very good!"

Listening to their childish and unnutritive back and forth, Ye Sinian, who was blocked by Zi Yuan, rolled his eyes speechlessly.

Is this sharp-mouthed man really his dear one?Is that the one who quarreled with him with his neck stuck in the sky?

Why did he feel that this style of painting suddenly went wrong?

The two had been arguing dryly. After all, it was the young people who were more powerful in fighting. The emperor was so angry with Zi Yuan that he said angrily, "Can't you be humble in front of your elder brother?!"

Zi Yuan, who was addicted to his mouth, smiled triumphantly, and said: "Your Majesty is very true! The poor have been taught!"

The emperor looked at his triumphant face, and his face became even more red with anger.

Unbearable, Ye Sinian twitched the corner of his mouth, and squeezed the hand that Zi Yuan held with him.

The complacent expression on Zi Yuan's face froze, he coughed lightly and said, "Why did you come to me?" It can't be just to find someone to quarrel with, right?

Because of his interruption, he completely forgot his purpose. The emperor felt embarrassed, but there was nothing unusual on his face. He glanced at Ye Sinian behind him and said, "Safe, take this..."

"Zhao Lingqiu." Zi Yuan tightened his hand with Ye Sinian, half proud and half showing off: "The love of my life."

The emperor resisted the urge to kick him, gritted his teeth and said, "Take Mr. Zhao to the Imperial Garden for a stroll."

Seeing that he had no intention of objecting, Zi Yuan's heart relaxed. He turned around and put his arms around Ye Sinian's shoulders, leaned over very carefully to stick to his ear, opened his mouth, and was very uncomfortable. He looked back at the emperor with confidence.

The emperor almost laughed at his stingy appearance, he snorted coldly, simply stopped looking at him, turned around and walked to the potted plant that had been pruned beautifully, picked up the scissors and cut it randomly.

Only then did Zi Yuan feel relieved, he turned his head and kissed Ye Sinian's ear lightly, and said, "Go shopping, don't worry, I'm here."

Ye Sinian pursed his lips and smiled, stroked the back of his hand lightly with his fingertips, and nodded.

Zi Yuan's heart moved, but he couldn't be sticky for too long, he could only sigh and watched him go out following the eunuch with low brow and pleasing eyes.

"Is this what you fell in love with? You are willing to talk back to me because of him? Didn't you never talk to me before?" The emperor looked at the back of his stretched neck, and felt a little strangely sore in his heart for some reason.

Where did that Ziyuan who was indifferent to anyone and never miss him go?

Zi Yuan hooked his lips, he glanced at the silver-white ring quietly wrapped around his ring finger, and said lightly, "You don't understand."

"Come on, what do you want me for?" Zi Yuan turned around, interrupting the emperor's anger being provoked again.

The emperor's face darkened suddenly, thinking of his own body, a trace of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and said: "You come with me."

Zi Yuan frowned, but still didn't say anything, pursed his lips and followed.

Inside the Royal Garden.

Not very interested in these flowers and plants, and unwilling to run into other people, Ye Sinian simply walked to the remote path beside him.

Behind him, the old eunuch, who was already a little older, followed behind him half-hunched, not knowing what he was thinking, and didn't say a word.

Suddenly, Ye Sinian stopped walking forward, the boredom in his phoenix eyes disappeared, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked through the gaps between the branches and leaves to another more remote path not far away.

At the end of his line of sight, Li Bingxun, whose clothes were a little disheveled, was walking out in a hurry. Since neither of them spoke, he didn't notice them. He glanced left and right and straightened his clothes again. smiley face walks out

Undercurrents surged in his eyes, Ye Sinian stopped in place for a long, long time.

The old eunuch behind him finally couldn't help but looked up at him, and asked doubtfully, "Young Master Zhao?"

Ye Sinian's eyes flickered, and he looked back at him curiously, pointing in a direction and asking, "Where is that direction?"

The old eunuch was taken aback, Ye Sinian's question was naturally against the rules, but as a friend of Taoist Master Zi Yuan, his relationship seemed so close, and he didn't want to offend him, so he followed him respectfully. Glancing at the direction of the finger, he said, "That's the direction to leave the palace."

"What about here?" Ye Sinian smiled, and pointed in another direction casually.

The old eunuch didn't bother, looked up and said, "That's Concubine Mei's Palace of Fanghua."

The smile on Ye Sinian's lips deepened, and he pointed his finger in the direction where Li Bingxun came, seemingly casually saying, "What about this direction?"

The old eunuch glanced at it and said: "I guess it should be Concubine Rou's Yunhua Palace!"

His eyes flickered calmly, Ye Sinian raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled meaningfully.
