"Be careful,? Don't touch this little master."

It seemed that a female voice was talking in the mist, and then several people responded in a low voice.

Liu Xiaoxiao felt that she was being lifted into the soft bed, and wanted to open her eyes, but couldn't resist the sleepiness, just thinking that Ah Qi should be anxious if she saw the empty carriage.

The half of his unfinished candied haws fell into the carriage. It was obvious at a glance that he was kidnapped. At any rate, he would not be considered as a sneaky escape, and his reputation was preserved.

Liu Xiaoxiao thought wildly, and soon she couldn't resist the effect of the medicine, and fell asleep.

Seeing that the people were finally settled, the woman who had just spoken signaled for everyone to retreat, leaving only her and the man in the servant's crown uniform.

The two walked out of the bedroom slowly. When two guards with swords saw them coming out, they conveniently closed the door and stood guard around the courtyard.

The surroundings are quiet, only the crisp sound of water dripping down the bamboo tube can be heard, like pearls falling on a jade plate.Evergreen bamboo forests are planted on both sides of Qingshiban Road, and occasionally one or two peaches and plums can be seen in season.

The seal carving pens on the eaves of the corridor are like dragons and snakes. Just outside the wall is the foot of the emperor. It is not difficult to imagine what kind of noble person the owner of this other garden should be.

"Minglang, I'm helping you this time because of my long-term friendship." The woman said as she walked, "If anything happens, I can only protect myself wisely."

The man in the inner suit smiled, "I understand."

"You are willing to help me this time, I am already grateful, how can I ask for more? I only hope that if I am wrong, don't cause you to lose the post of chief executive."

Seeing that her friend looked haggard, the woman turned to ask: "What's so special about that young man in the house, can he really save your father from being imprisoned?"

Hearing my friend ask this question, the secret that should have been rotten in my stomach, but now, there is nothing to hide.After this incident, if he did not die, he would take his father away from this place of right and wrong in the capital.

He has held back this secret for too long, and now that someone is willing to share it with him, it really makes him feel a lot easier.

And he believes that his friends will carry this secret with him to the grave.

"Do you know why after the emperor succeeded to the throne, there has been no concubine, and the post is vacant? He didn't even have the slightest plan to fill the harem. Several cabinet elders raised admonitions several times, suggesting drafts, but were sent back by His Majesty."

"This..." The woman's embroidered eyebrows twitched lightly, "It must be that His Majesty is concentrating on hard work and thinks it's too late. Although there are rumors in the market that His Majesty has his own heart, but the rumors are rumors after all—"

"That's true." Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by a man beside her.

"Varied--!"

He met the woman's staring eyes, and repeated firmly: "That's true."

All the servants in the palace know that the emperor has a study room where no one is allowed to enter.The best paper and the most precious pens and inks purchased are all offered here.

But at a fixed time, there will be a special servant waiting outside the door of the study, and the emperor will personally hand over a pile of sealed scrolls and order them to be burned.But it is not allowed to disassemble it when it is burned. Anyone who reads it will goug his eyes.

Everyone thought it was just the emperor's harmless eccentricity, presumably he just didn't want people to see the useless paintings.

He still remembered that it was a windy day, when he pushed open the door of the furnace room to get some charcoal fire, a corner of an unfinished painting was blown by the wind passing through the door and fell in front of him.

No one knew he saw it, for the corner was soon consumed by the engulfing flames.

But at that moment, he remembered the red line wrapped around the neck of the person in the painting, and the half-moon-shaped hook jade falling under the red line.

That crimson line, like the emperor's young Muai, warm and sincere, like a beating heart, was traced over and over again in the study with only one person.

The hook jade was in a pair, because he had seen the jade hanging next to his body when he was changing clothes for the emperor.

He also thought about what kind of person Chu Yuan, who is the Ninth Five-Year Master, could not ask for, so he could only use paintings to express lovesickness in the study.

Until he saw the man in the carriage whose veil was blown up by the wind, the other half of Gouyu whom the emperor kept in his heart every day, hanging on that man's neck with a red thread brightly.

He used his authority to get a imperial guard to stun him until he was carried into the emperor's private courtyard outside the palace. The servant girl took off the man's veil for the convenience of serving——

He finally understood the question that had been bothering him.

It's not that Chu Yuan doesn't want it, but that Chu Yuan can't find it.This is the Liu family's precious lump that has been missing for nearly two years. Everyone knows it, but it can't be found anywhere.

With the Liu family's promise, the world only wants money, if Chu Yuan sends people to look for it, then some people will kill this baby.

------------------

Chu Yuan rarely came to the courtyard outside the palace.

No one knew that he built it for Liu Xiaoxiao. He knew that the coquettish person would not want to be confined in the high-walled compound of the palace, so on the day of his succession, he drew the blueprints himself and asked people to build it.

It's just that this courtyard has not waited for another owner for a long time, and those who know that Chu Yuan built this courtyard only thought it was the emperor's whim.

But now, the courtyard has finally waited for its two owners.

"You saw it." Sitting beside the bed, Chu Yuan stared greedily at the bed, the person he had put in his heart since he was a teenager, as if he had been in a lifetime.

This endless sentence, but the servant standing by the bed understood that he was referring to those burnt paintings.

The man knelt down on the ground with a thump, his head resting on the cold ground, waiting for the trial, "I have no intention of trying to figure out what the Holy One is thinking, I just hope that His Majesty will let my father live! My father is old, and this servant just wants to take him back to his hometown to live up to his old age! "

He could hear his heart beating like a drum, as if after a long time, or just for a moment, a gold medal was thrown in front of him.

His heart fell back to the original place in an instant, and he breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that he had made the right bet.

After kowtowing, he hurriedly grabbed the gold medal with his sweaty hands and retreated.

Chu Yuan in the room did not move for a long time. He was dressed in casual clothes and was clean, but he seemed to have returned to the original time. He was a beggar in gray, and the young man who was lying on the bed was a handsome young man. Afraid of getting his hands dirty.

Until the bamboo tube used for water diversion outside the house was filled with water, the heavy end fell into the water, and the sound of splashes awakened Chu Yuan.

He stretched out his hand cautiously and held Liu Xiaoxiao's hand, as if catching a soft dream.

Then he sighed, as if he had finally consummated the regret of his youth, looking at the Gouyu hanging on Liu Xiaoxiao's neck outside, like a big cat that was tickled to make him happy, quietly waiting by the bed for his master to wake up.

Until dusk, Chu Yuan, who had been watching Liu Xiaoxiao and keeping his nerves high, looked at the little boy's slightly trembling eyelashes.

The eyelids were gradually opened, and the amber pupils buried deep in the memory, like the dawn, broke through the twilight outside the window and crashed into Chu Yuan's eyes.

"Who are you?" Liu Xiaoxiao was not fully awake yet, her head was a little dazed.

Feeling that one of his hands was caught by something, he twitched, but he didn't pull it out, so he simply rubbed his eyes with the other hand.

After rubbing the water mist away, Liu Xiaoxiao could see clearly that it was a hand that was holding her. The man sitting by the bed was handsome, with bright star-like eyebrows and a strong aura.

At least he is very strong in not letting go of his hand.

After waking up, I remembered what happened before the coma.

"Do you want to take me to Liu's house to receive the reward?" Liu Xiaoxiao asked uncertainly.

It was very certain before, but seeing the man's extraordinary clothes and demeanor, he was not so sure.

He looks quite rich, so he doesn't want to blackmail Liu Suifeng with himself, does he?

Chu Yuan knew that this little coquettish person was always heartless, and if he left without saying goodbye, this person would definitely forget himself and completely forget about him.

But before he woke up, he still had some beautiful fantasies.

Sighing lightly, she comforted herself that she had changed over the years, that's why Xiaoxiao didn't recognize it, and pulled out the jade sticking to her chest with one hand.

Liu Xiaoxiao looked at his, and then at her own.

After a while——

"It's a coincidence."

Chu Yuan laughed, and finally let go of the little thing's struggling hand, and set it free.Gently tapped that person's Bai Shengsheng's forehead, restrained and gentle.

"What a coincidence, I gave you this jade."

Seeing Liu Xiaoxiao thinking hard, Chu Yuan lowered his eyes, and the long soreness crawled up his heart belatedly, dragging it down.

Although he has achieved the most honorable position in the whole world, he can easily get things that many people can't get, but he can't get time, and he can't get the past Liu Xiaoxiao that he missed.

It made him feel helpless and frustrated.

"You once saved me in Jiangnan."

Hearing what the man said, Liu Xiaoxiao could only remember that she had saved Liu Suifeng, and had no memory of the rest.

Probably the beggar who used to follow the carriage to pick up coins?

You don't even need to look at it, just guessing to know that what this little thing is thinking is not the case at all.

"You rescued a little beggar on the road, gave him silver, and he even bit your hand."

Chu Yuan looked at Liu Xiaoxiao, as if looking at the past time.

"His name is Chu Qingxiao."

The deliberately forgotten memory was instantly opened, and the photo discarded by the owner was picked up by the other hand at this moment, and the dust on it was swept away without rejection.

At that time, leaving without saying goodbye, facing each other who had grown up, Liu Xiaoxiao smiled awkwardly when thinking of the state of mind that saving people was just a spare cash cow.

"Ah, it was you."

Chu Yuan couldn't tell what response he wanted, but when he heard Liu Xiaoxiao say this, his sinking heart became even more sour.

After being speechless for a long time, Liu Xiaoxiao tentatively opened his mouth: "Then... that is, you saved me who was unconscious...?"

Liu Xiaoxiao remembered that he was not the last person she saw on the carriage.

"...Yes." Chu Yuan admitted cheekily.

Liu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "Then I'm going back to my carriage, I'm afraid my friend will be in a hurry."

Chu Yuan looked at him in a hurry to leave without nostalgia, and closed his eyes.

"I have sent someone to notify him, you can stay a little longer."

This is not going to let people go.
