Mingyue is ruthless

It was getting colder at night on the steps of the sky, and there was another sound in the distance, it seemed to ring three times.

——It's midnight.

Chu Yuning tossed and turned, unable to sleep, and finally turned over and sat up with a sigh.

The candle was still on, and he didn't care to take care of the lanterns. He just sat in a dim room in a daze.

After all, Jinu is a naive child, tears come and go quickly, and later Lu Zhongshu voluntarily succumbed, tears were still in his eyes, but he had thrown himself into the arms of his father, and he had no nostalgia for Chu Yuning behind him.

Yes, after all, he is just a stranger.Chu Yuning laughed secretly.

There were footsteps coming from the corridor, before Chu Yuning got up, she heard the servant girl salute softly: "My son..."

Lu Zhongshu was conferred the title of heir two years ago, which was a matter of course, but he used this as an excuse to replace many servants in the East Chamber, so the only ones who still call him "little prince" are Er Xi and San Xi Among the two brothers, no one among the servants knew Chu Yuning's identity.

Chu Yuning stood still in front of the table, only to see Lu Zhongshu was still dressed in daytime, pulled in through the curtain, met his eyes, and paused, "It's past the third watch, why are you sitting here? "

As he said, he took off his outer robe and put it on for him, "Carefully caught the wind."

Chu Yuning was pushed back to the side of the couch by him, her eyes fell on the outer robe, she hesitated to speak several times, but finally did not speak.

When he didn't refuse, Lu Zhongshu secretly heaved a sigh of relief and sat down at the table.

Chu Yuning asked: "It's so late, what are you doing here?"

Lu Zhongshu replied, "To see you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the other party looking at him with dim eyes, and he hurriedly said: "I was thinking of going outside, so I took a look through the window and left, but I saw that the candle in your house was still on, I was worried, worried You forgot, that's why..."

He had long forgotten how to tell a lie in front of Chu Yuning, and was having a hard time thinking of an excuse, so he was daring to continue, but he heard Chu Yuning say something softly.

Lu Zhongshu hurriedly stopped and asked, "What?"

"...I can't sleep."

The room was still dark, Lu Zhongshu looked up, as if he saw a pale crack on his face.

Speechless for a while.

After another half hour, Lu Zhongshu carefully considered his words, and said slowly: "During the day, blame me for being impatient, not talking about rules, and frightening Ji Nu—"

"Chuan'er."

Lu Zhongshu was taken aback, "What?"

"It's not a slave." Chu Yuning smiled at him, and said, "I said it was Chuan'er, and he asked me not to mispronounce it. I already promised him."

"..." Lu Zhongshu was startled suddenly, he couldn't help but leaned forward, and said, "Ah Ning, you don't have to force it, Chuan-Ji Nu is still young, it doesn't matter if you correct him, he should be Ji Nu , rely on me, the fact that you named him, my father never mentioned it back then, if it wasn't for that, if it wasn't for that..."

Chu Yuning patiently listened to him, then smiled again, "If he doesn't want to, why do you make things difficult for him?

"It's a good thing that Chuan'er has such an idea at such a young age. What's more..."

He paused, then smiled softly, "Besides, I owe him a lot, and it's reasonable for him to refuse to recognize me now."

What's more, the old prince named it himself, which is the recognition of his status as the grandson of the Jinu Palace. He is naturally satisfied, so there is no objection.

But it hurts like a knife in my heart, it's really strange.

Lu Zhongshu couldn't see that he would take all his faults into himself, and persuaded him: "Ah Ning, I made it all happen to me. Why are you guilty, and why are you a slave? Why do you blame yourself?"

"Am I really innocent?" Chu Yuning said slowly.

I'm afraid not at all.

He was born as a slave, and should be the closest existence to him in this world, but because of a momentary negligence, he handed over this treasure in his heart to others. Since then, he has not seen each other for five years. Up to now, he has not been able to have both parents, and today he was implicated even more, and received a slap in the face for no reason.

If these things have nothing to do with him, whose fault should it be?

With just one glance, Lu Zhongshu knew that he was thinking about something. He couldn't help but feel a little anxious, and his heart sank, and he didn't care about "avoiding suspicion". I have accepted the truth of death, and I am afraid that I will not be able to listen to half of it if I say it... Forget it, you just need to know that I love you, and Ji Nu loves you equally. You are sorry, it has absolutely nothing to do with you."

The first few words of these words were considered good words, but the last sentence made both of them startled at the same time, Chu Yuning's already soft body stiffened again.

After a moment of silence, Lu Zhongshu was about to explain, but was gently pushed by the person in his arms, and cut off the conversation: "It's getting late, you go back and rest."

Lu Zhongshu was afraid that he might misunderstand again, so he said anxiously: "Ah Ning, that's not what I meant, I..."

"You are still sick, you should go back earlier." Chu Yuning said: "...Catch a cold carefully."

"A Ning..."

Lu Zhongshu stood by the couch, still looking at him and refused to give up, but Chu Yuning turned around and made a gesture to tidy up the quilt, but she refused to separate him even with a single look.

"..."

Lu Zhongshu knew that he would stop here tonight, so he had to ask: "Is the quilt thick?"

"……Um."

"If it's not enough, I have to talk to Lu Ying."

Chu Yuning nodded, but stopped talking.

Lu Zhongshu stood for a while, and finally walked out.

Walking to the edge of the curtain, he suddenly stopped and said in a muffled voice: "My illness has been cured since I saw you... You really don't know."

There was silence behind him, and no one responded.

Lu Zhongshu sighed softly, and finally left.
