Marrying Gold and Jade

The whole night was not peaceful, and there was something unusual in the unrest.

Xu Jinxuan loved to rub her until her body became soft and she had no strength left, but he did not take any further action. He just rested his head on her lower abdomen and the hot air he exhaled dyed her chest.

"Xu Jinxuan."

Lin Yu noticed it again and he was very sad, but he never said it.

The thin white arms were wrapped around his neck. It was not known whether it was the influence of the love Gu or not, but Lin Yu clung to him tightly, as if they had merged into one.

Thinking of that day when he sat in front of her, holding her hand and asking her to touch her, Lin Yu felt relieved.

Her soft knuckles covered his forehead, then stroked down to the top of his head. She said, "Go to bed early."

But Xu Jinxuan couldn't sleep.

This kind of caress is familiar yet strange. I remember when he was very young, he would lie in his mother's arms, and his mother would stroke his head like this when coaxing him to sleep.

"Lin Yu."

The sound came from the girl's abdomen. Two arms were wrapped tightly around her waist, making it almost impossible for her to breathe.

"Ok?"

"Don't leave me."

When he got no answer, he said again: "Unless I die, you will always be mine."

He mentioned the word "death" again. Lin Yu frowned in the dim curtains. Her memories rolled back, reminding her of Wan Ying.

Wan Ying followed Xu Jinxuan back to the palace and died not long after.

How did she die? Did the queen kill her because she failed to win over Xu Jinxuan, or did she die with him?

"Can you... not die?" Thinking of this, she hugged the man's head and said, "Live well with me, can't you?"

Love Gu is really a troublesome thing, but even without it, Lin Yu still wants him to live.

Lin Yu had hated him and loved him before. She couldn't explain what her current mood was, but she knew she couldn't bear to watch him die.

Xu Jinxuan's question was not answered just now, but she knew in her heart that if Xu Jinxuan died, she would be sad, and would be sad for a long time.

"You want me to live?" His voice was muffled, and it shook the girl's soft body.

Lin Yu felt a little itchy, and gently pushed him and said, "Just think of it as for me?"

This was the second time Xu Jinxuan heard this tonight. The last time was to save Lin Ji, and this time it was to keep himself alive.

Something flashed through Xu Jinxuan's mind, and he stood up and leaned upwards, supporting his arms on the sides of her head.

Suddenly he asked, "If only one of me and Lin Ji can survive, who would you choose?"

Lin Yu almost rolled his eyes.

"are you crazy."

After saying that, he used his hands and feet to climb up, trying to escape from under him.

Naturally, Xu Jinxuan pushed him back.

"Xu Jinxuan!"

Xu Jinxuan thought that she didn't like this kind of life-and-death talk, so he pursed his lips and asked in a different way: "If Lin Ji and I were trapped in two burning palaces, and only you could save one person, who would you save?"

Lin Yu pushed him until her arms were exhausted, but he still pinched her cheeks and forced her to answer.

He simply gave up on himself and shouted, "I won't save anyone! The three of us will die together!"

"No," Xu Jinxuan answered her seriously, "You can't die."

Lin Yu must live well. This idea has become deeply rooted in his mind and has become his top priority along with revenge.

Lin Yu didn't want to answer. She thought this question was so stupid. The palace was on fire, why should she save it by herself? Where were all the people in the palace?

But she couldn't stand his persistent questioning any longer. When she was too sleepy to bear it any longer, Lin Yu finally said, "Save you, save you! I'll be the first one to rush in and save you, okay..."

The extremely perfunctory tone finally satisfied Xu Jinxuan. He let her go, lay down beside her, and did not forget to hold her hand.

When she was about to fall asleep, Lin Yu suddenly heard him say, "It's too dangerous, no need to save me."

Sometimes he really is like a little child.

The next day, when Lin Yu half-opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Lan crawling into the gauze tent and trying to climb onto the bed.

Thinking that it should be warm in such a cold weather, Lin Yu did not stop him and saw his dark blue head sticking up.

But the person sleeping on the outside was Xu Jinxuan. He was woken up first and then kicked the snake's head.

"Eh--"

That kick was so ruthless! Lin Yu was afraid that Xiao Lan was broken, so he wanted to go down and check on it.

But it was cut off by the man and put back into his arms.

Well, I argued with Lin Ji yesterday, and now I have to argue with Xiao Lan today.

Lin Yu was also convinced and planned to take a nap in the man's arms.

Xu Jinxuan didn't fall asleep later, thinking that today was his mother's death anniversary.

But my mother said before she passed away that her spirit tablet should not be trapped in the palace, and it had been moved back to Yunwu Mountain long ago. There is not even a place to worship her.

So when Lin Yu woke up slowly, she saw his eyes staring at her without blinking, which made her shudder.

"what happened?"

She asked, and Xu Jinxuan said, "Marry me."

Lin Yu woke up completely.

There was no hesitation in lying with him, but when it came to something as important as marriage, alarm bells immediately started ringing in her heart.

"Why are you talking about this suddenly?"

When she first arrived in the imperial capital, she was afraid that Xu Jinxuan would take her away but would not give her a legitimate status. That was because she had no choice.

But now she has.

He should have mentioned this matter to Emperor Xianzhen a long time ago, but the marriage contract has not been implemented yet. It seems that there are some obstacles.

He is so stubborn. If I try to evade him, I'm afraid he will only get more stubborn.

So Lin Yu just said: "I don't want to be trapped in the palace for the rest of my life."

This sentence was too familiar to him.

Lin Yu didn't know whether he heard it or not, but she didn't say anything for a long time.

So I just pushed his shoulder and said, "I'm hungry."

Every time she was with Xu Jinxuan, she would be forced to wake up nearly an hour late.

"Ah."

Xu Jinxuan was thinking about what she said, and he didn't bother her anymore or ask any more questions.

When Lin Yu was having breakfast, Xiao Lan came to wrap around her legs again, and together with the thick hem of her skirt in winter, it stuck to her calves. This time, no one kicked it.

But she ate the meal absent-mindedly, for she remembered that she did not go to look for Lin Ji yesterday, and she did not know how he got there at night.

While I was thinking about it, Mingyuan came with his people after dinner.

"elder brother!"

Seeing that the man was fine and there were no outsiders around, Lin Yu ran straight to the man.

"How was last night?"

She pulled the man aside and asked him all sorts of questions, and naturally ignored the other two men.

Xu Jinxuan raised his eyes and met Mingyuan's eyes behind Lin Yu. The two brothers, who had never gotten along well, rarely saw tacit and unhappy emotions in each other's eyes.

Just one step away, Lin Yu was listening attentively to Lin Ji talking about what happened last night.

It was probably not long after she left that Ming Yuan came and found an excuse for him to stay by connecting him with Grand Tutor Shen who was staying in the palace.

"Your Majesty..."

"Don't worry," the girl subconsciously held his hand, "His Majesty has already said that he won't make things difficult."

Speaking of this, she did not forget to look back at Xu Jinxuan.

The young man looked at this side coldly, with his raised chin showing arrogance.
