Ten thousand people think gloom is reborn

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the prince didn't even have a waiter around him.He sat alone in the gazebo, with several jugs and wine cups on the table, the moonlight poured into the wine glasses, and the candlelight fell on his face.

Probably the sound of my footsteps on the gravel road alarmed him, and he turned his eyes to look over.There seemed to be something flashing in the single phoenix eye that was raised at the end of the pair of eyes. Before I could see clearly, he had already retracted his gaze and lowered his head to take a sip of his wine.

The palace man led me to the gazebo, then he left with low eyebrows, not daring to stay where he was.

I put the mooncakes on the table, "Father asked me to bring them for you."

As soon as I stepped into the gazebo, I smelled the strong smell of wine on the prince.Several jugs on the table seemed to be empty, how much did he drink?

The prince glanced at the lunch box containing the mooncakes, and chuckled lightly, "Brother, help Gu open it, Gu's hand is injured."

He showed me his hand, and I just noticed that his left hand was wrapped in gauze, for some reason.I actually wanted to give the moon cakes and leave, but I knew in my heart the reason why the emperor asked me to give the moon cakes was just to hope that the prince and I could make peace.

The emperor hopes that we can be brothers and sisters.

I pursed my lower lip, reached out to open the food box, and took out the mooncakes inside and placed them in front of the prince.He thought he could leave like this, but he immediately said: "My brother saw that Gu was injured, wouldn't he feed Gu?"

"Isn't your hand edible?" I couldn't help frowning.

The prince showed an innocent expression when he heard the words, "But I have to drink with this hand, so I don't have time to eat mooncakes.

"Then you don't eat." I waved my sleeves and prepared to leave, but just as I stepped out of the gazebo, I heard the person behind me snorting.

Inexplicably, I thought of the maid who died tragically last time.At that time, the maid's blood dripped into a winding snake on the floor tiles, and the blood was dazzling.

I couldn't help but stop, and then I found that the palace man who had brought me here just now left with the palace lantern.I don't have a light in my hand. If I leave alone, I will have to pass through a very dark place ahead.

I died once, and I even believed in the theory of ghosts in the world.

After struggling for a while, I returned to the gazebo, and now it was quiet, only me and the prince.

"How long do you want to drink? Can you call the palace servants from your palace?"

The prince raised his eyebrows and gave me a sideways look, then said with a smile, "Leave after eating the mooncakes."

I realized what he meant and didn't want to compromise, so I simply sat down opposite him to see how long he could drink.Unexpectedly, his stomach was like a bottomless pit, drinking one cup after another, and his mind was still very clear.

Seeing that it was getting late, I tried to call someone.

Not to mention people, even a ghost can't shout.Today is Mid-Autumn Festival, I gave Niu Xi a holiday, but he didn't come with me.

The prince sitting across from me snorted, as if mocking me.

I gritted my teeth and could only pick up the mooncake on the plate and hand it to him.He looked at me with a smile in his eyes, slowly approached my hand, and bit off a piece of mooncake.

When I saw him eating, I was about to put it down, but he called me again.

"I haven't finished eating yet."

I could only continue to raise my hand, and he ate the remaining half of the mooncake more slowly, so I couldn't help staring at him to eat.After taking the last bite, I was bitten by him before I could stop.

At that moment of taking a sip, I seemed to feel the heat rising from his mouth due to drinking.

"Hiss—" I quickly withdrew my hand, and there were already shallow tooth marks on my fingertips.Before he could take a closer look, his hand was grabbed.

The prince leaned close to my finger and made a tsk-tsk sound, "My brother's beautiful finger was bitten by Gu. If the father knows, he will definitely punish Gu again." He raised his eyes to look at me. That face is feminine and looks like a good girl, "Why don't you help my brother lick it alone?"

A feeling of nausea quickly overwhelmed me.

I withdrew my hand vigorously, "No, it's just a tooth mark, which will disappear after a while. You ate mooncakes, should you go?"

The prince smiled again, and saw him clapping his hands lightly, just now a palace man carrying a palace lantern appeared in the gazebo.

"You don't need to lead the way, give the lamp to Gu, and put away the mooncakes on the table." The prince ordered to the palace man.

The palace man nodded and handed the palace lantern to the prince respectfully.

The prince took the palace lantern and walked down the pavilion first.He took two steps, then turned around and looked at me who was still there, "Aren't you going?"

I glanced at the palace man who was cleaning up the things on the table, hesitated for a moment, and followed the prince's pace.I was deliberately one step behind him, not wanting to be next to him.

After walking for a while, the prince spoke suddenly.

"I heard that the second son of Duan Gaohan, the Shaoqing of the Taipu Temple, was killed by bandits."

He was talking about Duan Xinting.

I was out of breath for a moment, but soon I calmed down again, "Really? How pathetic."

The prince looked back at me, as if he said casually: "It's a coincidence that Duan Gaohan's second son has a little relationship with his younger brother. He is the one who was thrown into the lotus pond by his younger brother. He died unexpectedly. My younger brother is happy." ?"

Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, not illuminated by the warm yellow candle, and his usual dark eyebrows made him look even more frightening.

The slightly cool autumn wind blew on me from a distance, and the cold air hit my skin. I was afraid in my heart, but on the surface I frowned on purpose, expressing displeasure, "Why am I happy?"

The prince smiled, and turned around again, "Gu thought my brother would be happy, after all, the person I hate is dead."

I saw him turn his back, but he still didn't dare to relax.

The Shaoqing of Taipusi was only an official of the fourth grade, and a son died in the mansion, so the prince should not notice it.

Why did he know about this and ask me about it?

I thought about it, and explained in a low voice: "I really don't like him, but that's because he called another person's name at me, but I didn't want his life."

"Well, that can only mean that his life is bad." The prince said inexplicably.

Because of what the prince said, I didn't sleep well all night after returning to Huayang Palace, I was afraid that the prince knew something.Because I didn't sleep much, I couldn't help being sleepy in Shangguan Daru's class the next day, but I didn't want Shangguan Daru to think that I was rotten, so I would secretly pinch myself when I was sleepy. If I pinched too much, I was discovered by Lin Chongtan next to me.

Lin Chongtan held my hand while everyone was not paying attention.He signaled me not to pinch myself with his eyes, then let go of me, and said to Shangguan Daru, "Shangguan Daru, we have been in this class for a long time, we might as well take a break, I will make Shangguan Daru a cup of tea."

When Shangguan Daru heard Lin Chongtan's words, he readily agreed, and said to Lin Chongtan: "It's just right, let me see if your tea art has improved."

Lin Chongtan smiled at Shangguan Daru and asked someone to bring the tea set.Lin Chongtan was sitting under the window, washing his hands and making tea. I propped my head up and tried to cheer up, but fell asleep unknowingly.

When I woke up, Shangguan Daru was no longer there. I was lying on the table with a cloak on my body, and Lin Chongtan was sitting next to me writing.

I sat up and couldn't help taking a deep breath because of the soreness in my body.

Lin Chongtan immediately looked at me, and seeing me rubbing my shoulders, he stretched out his hands to help me rub together, "Shangguan Daru has left, if you haven't had enough sleep, you can go back to the bedroom and continue sleeping."

When I heard Shangguan Daru leave, I couldn't help saying: "Why didn't you call me? I just fell asleep like this, it's too rude."

I turned my head to look for Niu Xi, but found that Niu Xi was not there.Lin Chongtan on the side seemed helpless, "I yelled, but I couldn't wake up. If you yell a few more times, you'll just hum."

Lin Chongtan's words froze me. I felt a little hot on my face, and I couldn't help but lower my tone, "Then you can wake me up too. Where's Niu Xi? Why are there only two of us here?"

Lin Chongtan said: "He has gone to send Shangguan Daru, and the palace people are waiting outside the palace."

I followed his gaze and looked out, and sure enough the door of the palace was open, even if Lin Chongtan wanted to do something to me, it would be impossible.

I don't know how long I slept, but I'm not very sleepy now.I took the notes written by Lin Chongtan and read them carefully, halfway through.Lin Chongtan's voice sounded, "I lost my private seal yesterday, I wonder if the Ninth Prince has seen it?"

I guessed he would ask, so I didn't panic, "No."

Lin Chongtan paused when he heard the words, his voice was much lower than before, "I want to get along with the Ninth Prince in private, I wonder if it's okay?"

He meant to ask me to ask the palace guards to close the palace door.

I was a little hesitant, it was because Lin Chongtan was too shameless the day before yesterday, it was fine to express it in front of me, and he went out of the palace wearing that pair of dirty trousers, I don't know if others noticed.

Seeing that I didn't speak, Lin Chongtan lowered his voice again, "I have some questions about the past that I want to ask the Ninth Prince."

I turned my head to look at him, and found that Lin Chongtan's eyes were clear, not like yesterday, so I raised my voice to ask the palace guard to close the palace door.

"What are you asking?" I asked him.

Lin Chongtan's eyes were a bit complicated, "Who did you meet after you left the Rong Mansion that night?"

I didn't expect that what he asked was about the day I died. Following his words, I seemed to be pulled back to that thunderstorm night.I ran on the street without a purpose, the carefully selected clothes were dirty and drenched, the thunder was rumbling, and I met Duan Xinting.

Under the umbrella, Duan Xinting had a charming smile on his face, and his tone was also charming, talking one after another about Brother Tansheng.

He said he came to kill me on the order of Brother Tansheng.

Then, I was pushed into Baguio Lake by his men.

Why did Lin Chongtan ask this?

He was wondering if I knew he was the murderer?

I shook my head slowly, "I don't remember."

Lin Chongtan frowned, "Don't remember?"

I lowered my eyelashes and whispered: "I only remember that I came out of Rongfu, the rain was heavy that day, I ran on the street, and then..." I covered my head, pretending to be in pain because I couldn't remember, "I don't know...I can't remember..."

Lin Chongtan reached out and hugged me, comforting me constantly.

"It's fine if you don't remember, it's okay." His hand lightly ran down my back, and his voice was much softer in the second half of the sentence, "It's a good thing not to remember."

Being held in his arms, I couldn't help gritting my teeth.

Sure enough, it was Lin Chongtan who asked Duan Xinting to kill me and Liangji.Only a murderer would think it's a good thing that I don't remember.

Lin Chongtan said to me again: "You can't tell anyone about the strange matter of your resurrection from the dead, especially..." He suddenly paused, "You can't tell anyone, even Mrs. Zhuang Guifei. You can't tell her that you were Lin Chundi before."

I really don't plan to tell Concubine Zhuang Gui, because if she knows how I died, she will be sad and want to avenge me.The most important thing is that I was despicable in my previous life, and I don't want Concubine Zhuang to know that I am that kind of person.

But Lin Chongtan asked me not to tell Concubine Zhuang, I think he was afraid that Concubine Zhuang would make trouble for him and even punish him if she found out.

I became more and more angry, but I didn't dare to show it too much, for fear that Lin Chongtan would find out that I knew he was the murderer.The prince's words last night seemed to suspect that Duan Xinting's death was related to me. I can no longer let Lin Chongtan suspect that I know the truth.

I still don't know how much the crown prince has doubts about Lin Chongtan.

When I was trying to calm down, Lin Chongtan said to me: "I will take the imperial examination in a few days, so I can't come to the palace again."

The prince's confinement will be lifted in a few days.

When I heard the word "imperial examination", Lin Chongtan rode a big horse and traveled all over the bustling capital in fancy clothes and jade crowns in my mind.

The possibility of Lin Chongtan's high school champion is too high. If he wins the champion, the three words "Lin Chongtan" may really be heard all over the world.

Thinking of this, I gently pushed Lin Chongtan away, "Are you sure you want to take the imperial examination?"

Lin Chongtan seemed startled when he heard my question, "Huh?"

I pulled my lower lip and said sarcastically: "If you take the imperial examination, you will be the number one scholar in high school. The world will know you as Lin Chongtan, and Lin Chundi is a despicable plagiarist who has been trampled in the mud all his life. Obviously you agreed to lend me the poem!"

Lin Chongtan's face froze. After a while, he reached out to hold my hand, but I avoided it.

"Don't touch me!" I looked at him coldly, "The night of the prince's private banquet, you ignored it, and no one knew what you did to me. Lin Chongtan, why do you let you take all the good things in the world? If you really want me to forgive you, you are not allowed to participate in this year's imperial examination, and three years should be enough for me to calm down."

The imperial examination is held every three years. If you miss this time, you can only wait another three years.

Lin Chongtan pursed his lips tightly, as if he was thinking about how to talk to me. I was not in a hurry, and waited patiently to see what he would say.

"Xiaodi, I have to take part in the imperial examination this time. I have to be famous so that I can protect you in the future. If you want to calm down, you can let me do other things."

I just wanted to laugh at his quibble.

protect me?Is it to protect me, or for himself?

"Even if I don't forgive you for the rest of my life, do you still have to take the imperial examination?" I asked Lin Chongtan in a serious tone.

Lin Chongtan's face was serious, and he nodded after a while.

Almost as soon as he nodded, I slapped him across the face.I used all my strength, and palm prints quickly appeared on his fair face.After Lin Chongtan was hit in the face by me, he closed his eyes, "I'm sorry, Xiaodi."

"Don't tell me you're sorry. I know what you're thinking. You're not protecting me at all. You're doing it for yourself. Don't talk about it. Lin Chongtan, no, the name Lin Chongtan wasn't originally yours. It's mine, your name is Fan Chundi, the son of the gambling ghost Fan Wu.

The reason why you do so many things is because you are not reconciled to your origin.When you come to the capital where there are lords' houses all over the place, you feel inferior, don't you?You were afraid that your identity would be found out, so you tried your best to please those people and become the prince's dog.You take the imperial examination, but it's just to wash off the dirty marks on your body, you are a lowly dog ​​from a humble background.
