Since that night, the sharp thorns on Lin Jingyun's body seemed to have been pulled out by the roots, and his whole person became much gentler. Whenever Shen Zhuo wanted it, he would give it to him; He was willing to give up only when there was blood; he would come and go again and again, and sometimes even stay in the palace at night, but the prime minister seldom came back.

Shen Zhuo was finally free from the crime of Xiao Yu's case. The latter was stationed in the northern border, leading no more than [-] elite soldiers to wipe out all the rogues scattered outside.

This time, Xiao Yu's official rank did not drop, but rose, and everyone in the court secretly knew that he was under Prime Minister Lin's command.

The first thing Shen Zhuo did when he hurriedly came out from the study room was to visit Lin Jingyun in Cuiwei Palace.

He also came in a hurry, the wind was blowing on his feet, he could barely stand in front of the palace gate.

The little eunuch outside the door saw him and was about to kneel down and salute and go in to communicate, but Shen Zhuo waved his hand and gave a "shush" and said in a low voice: "Forget it, don't disturb him."

When the words were ambiguous, the little eunuch's heart skipped a beat, he lowered his head slightly and stopped talking.

Shen Zhuo opened the bead curtain and entered the door, it was the dog season, not to mention other places, even the Cuiwei Palace paved with white jade could not avoid the heat.

Shen Zhuo knew that his elder brother could not stand the heat, so he acquiesced in building an ice block outside Cuiwei Palace. In summer, the banana leaves were as big as a fan, and the lotus flowers in the pool were as big as a bucket. Lin Jingyun leaned on a noble concubine. On the couch, feeling the cool air blowing in, still holding a scroll with unknown contents in his hand.

Shen Zhuo barely stopped at the corner in front of the corridor, he didn't dare to make a sound, for fear of waking up the picture of a beauty sleeping in spring.

Lin Jingyun was only wearing a white singlet, and on the exposed collarbone, there were still some red marks left by yesterday's happiness. These red marks went all the way down, and finally sank into the unspeakable place hidden under the clothes.

——Just one glance made Shen Zhuo's heart jump.

In the past six months, Lin Jingyun had removed all the arrogance from him, like a white crane with its spine broken, he no longer disobeyed him, no longer looked down on him, and finally surrendered.

However, despite this, Shen Zhuo still only felt that there were some ulterior secrets behind all his gentleness, so that when he stretched out his hands to grab, he couldn't catch anything or see anything.

But even so, even if it was really just a dream, he was afraid that he would be willing to sink into it.

In this dream, he will stand and die.

Lin Jingyun woke up slowly, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the little emperor standing at the bottom of the corridor, at a loss, seeing him looking in his direction, he lowered his head in a hurry and looked away.

Lin Jingyun couldn't help laughing, beckoned to him and said, "Ling Qiu, come here."

Hearing this call, Shen Zhuo had no choice but to walk over as told.

As soon as he woke up, it was nearly dusk outside, and the ice in the tank had already turned into a puddle of cold water, but it was still slightly cold.

Lin Jingyun pulled Shen Zhuo's wrist and pressed him beside her.

Today he looks good, even his appearance is a bit more beautiful, but when he smiles, he doesn't look like a human being.

He said: "The little emperor is here now because he is greedy for cold?"

Lin Jingyun didn't ask about political affairs or state affairs, he would only tease Shen Zhuo with a few words all day long, and almost kept silent about the rest; sometimes Shen Zhuo would deliberately come to bother him with difficult things, Lin Jingyun would also Just nodded to him a few words, and refused to say more.

Shen Zhuo's eyes were dark.

That person is becoming more and more lethargic in front of his eyes now, even refusing to tidy up his skirt and neckline——

Seeing that Lin Jingyun still looked ignorant, Shen Zhuo's heart suddenly felt a little evil, and he stretched out his hand to grab his wrist, and pulled him up from the chair.

His strength was extremely heavy, and a circle of red marks appeared on his thin wrist not long after.

Lin Jingyun didn't seem to expect him to move suddenly, couldn't help but frowned slightly in pain, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong today?"

Shen Zhuo called his name: "Brother Qingyan."

Lin Jingyun responded, and his tone became softer: "How is it? Is there something difficult?"

Shen Zhuo shook his head and let go of his wrist, but his expression was still bottomless; Lin Jingyun didn't ask any more questions, just rubbed his wrist and waited for him to speak.

After a while, Shen Zhuo said quietly: "Half a month later, the mausoleum has been repaired, and it's time to welcome my mother and concubine into the mausoleum for burial."

Lin Jingyun paused, then smiled: "Alright. The matter of your mother and concubine should not be delayed. After a long time, you will inevitably have long nights and dreams; after half a month, you will go to the mausoleum and bury you."

Shen Zhuo nodded and said: "If I go alone, I'm afraid it's still inappropriate. Brother, you will bury my mother and concubine with me at that time, so as to stop the courtiers' mouths."

As he spoke, he looked at the man's face, but he saw that there seemed to be an unresolved melancholy between the man's eyebrows, and he also mentioned that the heart was mourning endlessly, and it turned out to be a little sick.

Lin Jingyun said: "That's fine too, with me standing in your way, you don't have to be afraid."

Half a month later, the Emperor of Dongqi and the Prime Minister led the mighty people in the palace all the way north.

The imperial mausoleum of the Eastern Qi Dynasty is located in Beishan. Shen Zhuo and Lin Jingyun rode two horses, one black and one white, and walked on the mountain road, just like the two black and white pieces on the Zhenlong chess board, separating the mountains and rivers.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, seeing the rugged mountain road and the mausoleums of the Eastern Qi emperors above their heads, they couldn't live without awe, so the two got off their horses.

There are 99 steps from the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain.

Shen Zhuo stepped on the first step, turned around and smiled at Lin Jingyun: "Brother. I heard people say that every step in front of this imperial mausoleum has spiritual consciousness. Whoever steps up will walk all the way to the mausoleum. You can all see it with your own eyes.”

Lin Jingyun smiled when he heard this.

Shen Zhuo went on to say: "In the past, the soul of the concubine mother has been lingering outside, feeling lost and restless; if the elder brother can pray for the concubine mother before this mausoleum, I am afraid that the concubine mother will not be sad."

Lin Jingyun said: "Naturally."

"That's it." Shen Zhuo smiled: "My mother and concubine believed in Buddhism the most during her lifetime, so I would like to ask my brother to worship the heaven and earth, Bodhi, and Buddha for the 99 steps in the future, and seek goodness for my mother and concubine. edge--"

When this word came out, everyone behind was shocked, even Lu Qingyi was really surprised.

Lin Zheshui's face turned pale, and when he was about to come out to speak for his second brother, Lin Jingqiu slapped him gently.

Shen Zhuo stretched out his hand in his robe, pointed at the courtiers and servants behind him and said to Lin Jingyun: "Brother, look, everyone in the world is here, this is just a good deed of raising your hand, will you refuse me?" ?”

Lin Jingyun smiled and stopped talking. He lifted his robe and knelt in front of Shen Zhuo, slowly leaned over and said, "Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven of the Eastern Qi Dynasty. Your Majesty, you must follow the order."

After saying that, he got up, stepped up the first step, then calmly kowtowed and kowtowed, and said in a clear voice: "Chen Lin Jingyun, I hope that your mother will be free from worries and happy forever from now on."

Then he got up, went up the second step, kowtowed and kowtowed calmly again: "I hope that your mother will not be tired of the world, and you can ask for everything you want, and you can ask for everything you love."

Everyone stared at his figure silently. If there were 99 steps, if one bowed down one step at a time, they would have lost half their lives if they didn't die on the road.

Lin Zheshui clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were bloodshot, as if he would burst into flames from time to time.
