Marrying Gold and Jade

The snake bit the young Sixth Prince.

"I was only four years old at the time and thought it was nothing serious, but I watched my sixth brother fall down in front of me. His face turned purple, his body became stiff, and he gradually stopped breathing."

"The room where the snakes are kept is not big, with only one window, and it is dark even during the day."

"I didn't dare cry or bang on the door, because I was afraid I would be the next one to be bitten."

"Later, I escaped. When the palace servants saw that I was missing, they searched everywhere for me. Outside the Queen's palace, I heard her say that she was afraid that I would find out and tell others."

"I covered my mouth tightly. I don't know why, but later on, I couldn't speak anymore..."

Lin Yu couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she stood up, walked forward, put her arms around his shoulders and neck, and held his head tightly in her arms.

I don't know when tears started to well up in her eyes.

"Good, A Yuan," just like he comforted himself last night, Lin Yu also put his arm around his back again and again, "You survived, you survived."

Compared to his Sixth Brother, Mingyuan knew that he was lucky.

But death has its own ease, and living has its own difficulties.

He couldn't even remember what his mother looked like, but he clearly remembered that his sixth brother, who was one year older than him, died in front of him in a dark and damp secret room.

"I used to think that I would never come back. Even if I could be a domestic slave and work hard to survive, it would be better than staying in the palace."

Even if he doesn't have the qualifications to stand by Lin Yu's side, as long as she is fine and he can watch her get married and have children, it's fine.

"But that day, I met the fifth brother again."

The turning point when he was four years old was that he encountered the carriage of Grand Tutor Shen leaving the palace, and stole his way across the boat on which he was returning home, and eventually ended up in the southeast area.

He was lucky that Lin Yu picked him up and took him home.

But when he was seventeen years old, he met Xu Jinxuan again.

It was the first time that Lin Yu heard him say so many words. In the past, she only knew that he was wandering outside, but she didn't expect that he, a little mute, had so many heavy things in his heart.

A Yuan's last words were: "I know it's not Fifth Brother's fault, but he is not a good match, and I don't want him to force you."

Lin Yu had to re-examine these people. It snowed again in the afternoon. She sat under the eaves in front of the hall and watched the fine snowflakes piled up all over the yard.

Then I thought, it must be snowing in the imperial city all year round, otherwise how could it be so cold and harsh, and how could it cover up so many bloody past events.

She also heard from Mingyuan that the queen has been very busy recently because the power of her mother's family has been impeached one after another, thanks to his secret efforts and Xu Jinxuan's involvement.

They have no brotherhood, and even though they are fighting for the same woman, they have a common enemy.

She watched the entire snowfall in front of the palace. When the snow stopped, she was almost drowsy under her cloak, but she caught a glimpse of a familiar face in the dim light.

His phoenix eyes were sharp and alluring, with a small mole at the corner of his right eye.

"Xu Jinxuan..."

She was about to sit up straight when she saw the man in front of her suddenly unbuckle his waist belt and act like he was undressing.

Lin Yu woke up instantly, "You you you!"

She looked around and found that she was indeed still in front of the Moon-Watching Pavilion. She hadn't even moved the couch, but this man was standing there undressing.

It's ridiculous!

Could it be a dream?

When she quietly reached out to pinch his thigh, the man in front of her stopped.

He was not wearing much to begin with, so he threw his waist belt on her couch, and when he pulled aside his outer and inner clothes, his chest and abdomen were exposed.

Lin Yu just covered her eyes and yelled: "Xu Jinxuan! What are you crazy about again!"

Although she had seen it, it was behind closed doors with the bed curtains drawn. It was in public like this and he was not one of his people in Wangyue Pavilion. How could he live his life if this got out!

She was sitting, but Xu Jinxuan was standing in front of her. Seeing her covering her eyes, he frowned and said impatiently, "Look at me."

"I do not!"

Then the next moment, someone pulled his wrist over, and his fingertips even touched the slightly tense muscles, rubbing out shallow grooves.

"I don't want to be touched!"

As she shouted in refusal, the hand that was covering her eyes was pulled down, and she was forced to take a glance at his body, which was very white, thin and tight.

Then he quickly closed his eyes, thinking of calling Zhu Lian Qing Dai to come and save him.

But I heard the man in front of me say, "It's already healed."

Lin Yu: "...What's good?"

"Wound."

He only explained these two words, and seeing that Lin Yu hadn't reacted yet, as if he had even forgotten the stab he had given her, he couldn't even remember the wound that he had despised so much at the beginning, and he suddenly became so angry that his teeth itched.

"You don't remember? Huh?"

He forcefully spread open the girl's delicate palm, forcing her to place her palm against his. "Right here. You said that I don't deserve to lie next to you with such an ugly wound on my body."

Lin Yu suddenly remembered that it was only three or five days since the hideous and bloody cut, and he had actually cleaned it up so well that not even a scar was left.

It really makes one wonder if he can shed his skin and get rid of the old flesh.

"I know, I know……"

But when the snow stopped, the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard came out of the house again, and she tried hard to pull her hand back.

But Xu Jinxuan refused to let go. He just opened his shirt wide and held her wrist as if to start. He saw her trying to pull it back, but she was too weak and struggled back and forth.

"Xu Jinxuan!" Lin Yu quickly became annoyed again, "Do you really want me to be so embarrassed?"

He pursed his lips, lowered his eyes, and said nothing.

Lin Yu then said, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, or you'll die of heat!"

After hearing this, Xu Jinxuan barely let go and adjusted his clothes, but his body was leaning against her couch, and Lin Yu was blocked from going down.

Seeing that he had finally put on his clothes, Lin Yu also came to his senses and asked, "You came here just to tell me this?"

"Ah."

"Now I know, you can go back."

She doesn't want to go back to Chonghua Palace yet. After knowing the past events, her heart is very confused. She sympathizes with this and that, and finally realizes that her situation is also very difficult. At least she doesn't want to go back and forth between the two palaces.

Since I'm staying in Wangyue Pavilion temporarily, I might as well stay for a few more days and discuss my future with Mingyuan.

When Xu Jinxuan heard her drive people away, he asked, "I'm going back, but you're not going back?"

Lin Yu was also angry. Although he was pitiful and his mother was also pitiful, it was a fact that Xu Jinxuan forced herself. There was no reason for her to forgive him immediately just because of his pitiful past.

So he asked in return: "Why should I go back with you?"

The man frowned and answered slowly, "My wound is healed."

Lin Yu:?

Is there any necessary connection between whether she returns to Chonghua Palace or not and the healing of his wound?

She didn't like the smell of blood and was afraid of hideous wounds, but she refused to sleep in the same bed with him that day only because she was angry and forced to do so. Wasn't this wound just an excuse?

"Lin Yu, come back and let's try again. I will make you feel comfortable."

Lin Yu felt numb for a moment.

Xu Jinxuan is really... he never stops until he says something shocking.
