In the southwest of Dayan, there is a mountain named "Siyan". It sounds like the name of a beauty. The mountain is also like a beauty, with cloud-like hair and mist-like temples, green eyebrows facing the wind, no snow all year round, and clear water.

A ray of smoke danced in the starry vision, and the mellowness of wine, the fragrance of food and the warmth of fire penetrated into the sound of heaven.

The branches in the fire were crackling, making the faces of the two people in front of the fire flush as if they were drunk. There was a warm factor steaming in the air, which made the cold moonlight hanging high on the treetops in the distance seem a little warmer.

Opposite, the man who seemed to be smiling had slightly raised eyebrows, his eyes and hair were black and sparkling, his lips were not dyed red but were more blazing than the firelight, his eyebrows and eyes were vivid like a painting, so beautiful that it was infatuated and made people hate him till death.

Lin Shuning sat there with hatred in his heart, his eyes on his nose and his nose on his heart, shouting that his mind was clear, not wanting to be constantly induced by beauty to cause arrhythmia.

Especially when that beauty was always looking at him with eyes full of interest.

Just as I was entering into meditation, a fragrant grilled fish suddenly appeared in front of me.

When she raised her head, she saw a handsome man opposite her, so gorgeous and exquisite that he made her want to scream, staring at her intently.

Lin Shuning suppressed her racing heart and wanted to cry.

Even the most pure-hearted person would not be able to handle such a monstrous person.

Jiang Yu still looked at her with a smile, his eyes calm. Lin Shuning cleared her throat and pretended nothing had happened to take the grilled fish. However, anything that was done with a nervous mood was bound to be a little abnormal.

Lin Shuning grabbed the grilled fish and chewed it until his face turned hideous because he didn't want to make eye contact with the handsome guy opposite him. He quickly devoured it all in a flash, then picked up the osmanthus wine beside him and gulped down a few mouthfuls, completely forgetting that he was a poor drinker and had no tolerance for alcohol.

But the good thing is that Lin Shuning's heart relaxed under the influence of alcohol.

With a slightly flushed face, she looked up at the starry sky: "I didn't expect there is such a beautiful place in Dayan."

She looked at Jiang Yu: "Have you been here before?"

"came."

"When?"

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and looked at the fire, his eyes gradually darkened: "Many, many years ago."

The firelight flickered and swayed in the moonlight, and dots of dim light and shadows shuttled through the vast silence, interweaving those long-settled past events and irreversible people and things.

Thus, Lin Shuning found out in this interweaving that he had a good friend whom he had known for ten years, and later became his trusted secret guard.

They had passed by here before leading troops to war. At that time, the man said that when he returned victorious, he would definitely drink with Jiang Yu here until they were drunk.

However, such an agreement can no longer be fulfilled.

Because that person betrayed Jiang Yu.

He poisoned Jiang Yu's food.

At that time, Jiang Yu had made great military achievements and commanded a large number of troops. Soon he received an order from the emperor to go to the border to quell the war.

This was supposed to be a battle that was sure to be won without any suspense, but what no one expected was that just when the battle was about to be won, Jiang Yu fell down.

The poison hidden in his body finally broke out with such ferocious force that there was no way back.

While the enemy was escaping in the chaos, Jiang Yu, whose life was hanging by a thread, received a secret letter from the emperor brought to him by that man. The letter stated that the enemy troops were divided into two groups, one was luring the enemy away from the mountain at the border, and the other was invading Yanjing. He was asked to lead his troops back immediately to provide support.

However, when he dragged his sick body to the capital, what awaited him was the serious crime of treason and treason.

While he was lying on his deathbed, that man stole his seal, forged evidence of treason, and together with other ministers presented it to Emperor Jingsheng.

As for the secret letter that led him back to Beijing, it had long been destroyed by that person and there was no evidence of it.

With the treasonous letter in front and the secret entry of troops into the capital behind, the evidence was irrefutable and the emperor had no choice but to face it.

Although Emperor Jingsheng could see that there must be something behind this matter, he was unable to quell the anger and pressure from his court officials. In desperation, in order to save Jiang Yu's life, he could only take away his military power, grant him a title of king and land, and expel him from the palace. From then on, he was not allowed to return to the capital without an imperial edict.

His mother, Concubine Xi, was also implicated in this incident. She was bullied by Concubine An and knelt in the rain, becoming seriously ill. She was finally rescued from the brink of death, but she has been ill ever since...

Having said this, Jiang Yu fell silent.

Lin Shuning looked at him quietly, her eyes sparkling as she said, "It hurts a lot."

It must be painful.

It's not just the heart-wrenching pain brought by the poison, but also the pain of being betrayed and deceived like a sharp knife piercing the heart, and the pain of having trust destroyed.

Jiang Yu smiled, still smiling, but Lin Shuning turned his head away.

At this moment, she didn't want to see his smile at all. That smile was too dazzling and hid so much unspeakable pain.

She was powerless to make up for the pain and brokenness, so she could only sniffle, pat her chest and say, "It's okay, I'm here, no one can hurt you."

Jiang Yu was still smiling, but now his smile had regained its warmth, a warmth that made Lin Shuning feel at ease.

She smiled with tears in her eyes, tilted her head for a while and said, "This is the life of the royal family, full of intrigues, tit-for-tat, hidden murderous intentions, and insatiable desires."

Jiang Yu said: "It's not scary to have desires. What's really scary is people without desires, because you can't see through such people."

"But I don't think you are someone who has desires."

"Me?" Jiang Yu looked at Lin Shuning and chuckled, "Yes, I do. My desires are deep."

His tone was slow and drawn out, concealing a hint of temptation.

Lin Shuning, who was eating fish while watching him, felt his heart skip a beat and swallowed subconsciously.

Then my throat felt sore, as if a fish bone was stuck in my throat.

Lin Shuning jumped up with a scream, and subconsciously tried to find some wine to wash away the fish bone. However, when he was looking around, he was grabbed by a pair of hands.

"There's a fish bone stuck in my throat and I'm still moving around. What should I do if it gets stuck deeper and deeper?"

Jiang Yu exerted a little force and Lin Shuning sat down involuntarily.

He leaned forward, lifted her chin and said, "Open your mouth."

Lin Shuning opened his mouth blankly, and suddenly the silly look on his face when he was having his teeth held up by braces while seeing a dentist in his previous life popped up in his mind. His face turned red unconsciously, and then he thought, why should he open his mouth? Did the ancients have other ways to remove fish bones?

My thoughts were wandering randomly when my vision suddenly darkened. I could smell a faint scent of medicine and the stunning face of a handsome man was pressing down on me.

His long, fine eyelashes cast a small shadow on her face. He looked at Lin Shuning with a half-smile. The air suddenly became charming. The half-hearted push and pull that night when she was drunk suddenly jumped into Lin Shuning's mind. She froze there and forgot to move, staring blankly at the shadow with a faint fragrance that kept expanding in front of her eyes...
