The two walked back to the palace along the quiet streets and alleys in Jinling City. This area is mostly mansions of rich families with bells and lanterns.Turning out is a long flat street with few people. Walking all the way to the gate of the palace, there is no bustle and bustle in the market.

Xiao Huan handed the reins of the war horse to the guards of the ghost army waiting outside the alley, and then walked with Lin Yi. The dark gold thread embroidered pattern on the lapel of the black general's robe was faintly reflected by the glow of the sunset, against the mask and exposed jaw , moist lips.

"I heard that you haven't been out of the palace much these days?" Xiao Huan's voice was clear and bright, like the quality of gold and jade.

Lin Yi felt inexplicably comfortable. It seems that he has been away from Jinling for a few days, and he still pays attention to himself from time to time.

"That's right. Before I went to Northern Xinjiang, I offended a lot of young masters. Now if someone asks me to go out to get together, half of the people at the table will be friends and half enemies. The scene is wonderful, and it's really troublesome to deal with."

Xiao Huan also knew about this. Lin Yi was completely different from being in court when he got along with young people of the same generation.

In the dandy circle of Jinling City, Lin Yi is one of the most controversial ones. Those who hate him grit their teeth, and those who can play with him appreciate him very much.

Lin Yi didn't care much about his tone, Xiao Huan looked at him sideways, raised his hand and picked off a thin leaf on his jade crown: "It's like this after entering the court, do you think it's hard work?"

Lin Yi walked slowly, and gently shook Xiao Huan's fingers beside him.

"Nowadays, the princes in the court look at me with mixed reputations, and the children of the aristocratic family have to look at the direction of the wind when dealing with me. Even if I don't do that, the situation I face today is the same." Lin Yi said casually, "Other people think of me well. , or hate me, it doesn’t really matter.”

Xiao Huan listened quietly, with many thoughts flowing in his heart.

In his previous life, Lin Yi asked for his order to be dispatched to northern Xinjiang, and then returned to the court, what he faced was Yishui's taboo eyes.

Because of the notoriety of "injustice" and "massacre of the city", young people of the same generation from aristocratic families dare not associate with him, and consciously step aside when they see him. Of course, Lin Yi doesn't care.

Now Lin Yi has started all over again, his status is noble, he has won the love of Emperor Yongguang, and he made a triumphant return on his first expedition. Even though there have been many unfavorable rumors recently, as long as he is low-key and obedient, he can still be an obedient and obedient Lord who is loved by everyone , there is no need to attract such extreme gazes.

After all, a few months ago, he had no enemies in court.

But Lin Yi obviously chose another path-the path that leads to the same goal as the previous life.

Now he is a loyal, brave and trustworthy young man in front of Emperor Yongguang, but he is a bit unruly in the court, he is a sharp and tough bone.

The courtiers also gradually understood Lin Yi's position. Except for His Majesty today, this Lie Junhou is not really taken seriously by anyone. He is polite to you when he is in a good mood. It's not a problem to go back.

In short, the enemies Lin Yi faces today are much more than the unscrupulous "unrighteous prince" in his previous life.

In fact, this is not caused by his temper, most of it is due to his new blade out of its sheath.

The Zhaowu army not only defended the northern border, but also filled in the loopholes in the western defense line. There were successors in the Marquis Liejun's mansion. Lin Yiqing was no less than Lin Sihong.

Under the mediation of various forces, the Lin family's momentum was so strong that the courtiers did not dare to make friends, but were eager to try and attack.

"Do you think I'm addicted to being a bad guy?" Lin Yi joked, "I can't help it. If I'm too obedient, many things will be difficult to handle—not to mention that the tree wants to be quiet and the wind doesn't stop. Once I enter the court, I won't offend others. There's always someone watching me."

The world of fame and fortune is full of eagle-like eyes.

"Whatever you want to do, whatever you choose, is good." Xiao Huan said, "Just remember, it's different now, I'm still there for everything."

Lin Yi's nose was inexplicably sour. He looked up at the sky full of clouds and clouds, and said with a smile: "People are still greedy. I saw my father and sister again before, and I thought it would be no regret to die now. But now that you are here, I always think that this life must be longer, and longer."

The evening wind is blowing slowly, Jinling is full of the Huai River and the river wind, it seems endlessly lingering, a ray of light from the world of mortals is reflected from the distant imperial city and the sky.

In the palace, Lin Yi pushed the door open and entered Xiao Huan's house. Xiao Huan had just bathed. He was dressed in a light blue single robe, and the room smelled faintly of water lilies.

Lin Yi hugged him, pushed him to the side of the couch, and then pushed him down on the couch, buried his head on his shoulder and took a deep breath, without speaking, and looked the same as he had just talked and laughed all the way back.

Xiao Huan noticed the change in him: "Why, are you unhappy? It's..."

Lin Yi couldn't help saying, pulling Xiao Huan's wrist to feel his pulse, raised his head, the corners of his eyes were reddish: "Every time you go back to Jiangzhou, you go to treat illnesses, right?"

Xiao Huan immediately guessed what was going on, and was silent for a moment, but with a relaxed smile on his face, he shook his head helplessly: "Jun Yuheng told you?"

"If I don't ask, does he dare to say it?" Lin Yi felt a little bit like asking the teacher, "...how is the treatment going?"

There is nothing wrong with King Xiting, except for the Southern Border curse left on him by his mother, Concubine Jin, before her death.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yuheng is thinking of a way." Xiao Huan didn't expect Lin Yihui to ask suddenly, so he could only comfort him.

Lin Yi propped himself up, looked down at him with scorching eyes, almost gnashed his teeth and said: "Why do you go back to Danxiao Palace every time for treatment? It's because it hurts every time, and you don't want others to see it, right? Others just do it , why even I kept it a secret?"

Xiao Huan paused, but he didn't expect Mr. Yuheng to give a thorough explanation. Lin Yi seemed to endure it all the way, and finally endured it until he returned to the palace to question him.

He raised his arms around Lin Yi's waist, exerted a little force, pulled Lin Yi into his arms and lay down, patted him on the back, and said slowly: "It's not that exaggerated, just because I'm afraid you're worried, I'll tell you later ,OK?"

Lin Yi was sullen, and the more he thought about it, the more sour he became: "I won't tell you unless I ask you, Xiao Jinzhi, you watched it all the time when I was injured, and you have to avoid me when you come here. What's the reason?"

Xiao Huan was obviously really sad when he saw him, and it was hard for Lin Yi to pretend nothing had happened along the way, coaxing: "Zi Yao, I didn't think carefully..."

Seeing that nothing would work, Lin Yi put his head on his shoulder and said nothing. Xiao Huan had no choice but to lift his chin and let Lin Yi look at him: "Why are you willing to forgive me?"

Lin Yi shook his head, and he was a little aggrieved when he spoke: "Did you agree to me because you couldn't refuse?"

Xiao Huan couldn't laugh or cry, how can he coax him now.

Lin Yi was indeed very sad. On the one hand, he felt sorry for Xiao Huan, and on the other hand, he felt that Xiao Huan still regarded himself as an outsider. Get it yourself.

To get the stunning beauty of the Seventh Prince, but not to get his heart, might be a lot of embarrassment for others, Lin Xiaohou felt very uncomfortable, he was no different from a robber who robbed him.

Lin Yi thought this way because Xiao Huan in his eyes was extremely gentle, and sometimes Lin Yi was so gentle that he worried that he would hurt this person, so he felt that he took advantage of this and got Xiao Huan.

But he overlooked an important issue: Xiao Huan's tenderness was only given to him, and others may not even have seen it.

What's more, there is no one in this world who can force the seventh prince to say "like".

Seeing Lin Yi's gloomy expression, as if his eyes were gloomy, Xiao Huan had nothing to do with him. He felt that Lin Yi was too cute, but it was really hard to coax, so he lowered his head and kissed the center of his brow, and said softly, "Do you believe me? You Say, what should I do?"

Lin Yi was distracted by the coquettish mole at the end of his eye, blinked and said: "You...you answer carefully, don't try to get away with it, don't rely on beauty to cheat!"

When Xiao Huan heard the words, he laughed straight, his peach eyes rolled, and it was even more difficult to resist.

Lin Yi's back was softened by three points, and he forced himself to remind himself to be firm, hooking Xiao Huan's neck with one hand, and outlining his eyebrows and eyes with his fingertips: "No matter how much or how little, you have... that kind of affection for me , nothing else, just that, right?"

After all, men are naturally flirtatious and confused, and their feelings are often a mess. It is very common to mistakenly think that you are tempted for the sake of unsatisfactory happiness.

Thinking about it carefully, I was messing around before, and only after the messing around did I see clearly what kind of roots of love were planted in those superficial desires.

So I was a little worried, whether Xiao Huan was sober and serious.

Xiao Huan sighed, this sigh was also very gentle, it seemed to be a little distressed.He bowed his head and kissed Lin Yi's eyebrows and eyes: "I have that kind of affection for you." He kissed his ear again, "It's nothing else, not a little bit."

A few soft and delicate kisses fell on Lin Yi's cheeks: "It's that kind of affection."

Xiao Huan looked at Lin Yi's handsome and clear face, and said with a smile, "How can you not trust this king?" As he spoke, he lowered his head and kissed Lin Yi's lips, lingering, as if he wanted to confirm to Lin Yi over and over again. How much I love him.

The warm wind in the hall was gusting, bringing the fragrance of lotus flowers from the water garden of the palace, mixed with the breath of water lilies on Xiao Huan's body, almost intoxicating.

Lin Yi was completely convinced by this kiss, and only after recovering did he feel that he was too worried about gains and losses.

Not forgetting the topic, he asked Xiao Huan: "Then what's the matter with the southern border spells? Mr. Yuheng explained... Tell me, the methods I tried a few times are extremely painful, like cramps and bones pulled out..."

After putting out the candles, Xiao Huan said: "The spell is similar to Gu. Gu has a connection between child and mother, and the same birth, so it can be manipulated by the caster. But the spell is one-way. From the moment it is cast, it will be completely Merging with the body leaves no leads and cannot be peeled off."

Concubine Jin cast a curse on Xiao Huan before she died, she really did not leave any room for it, her resentment towards this world was carried on in this way, like a ray of restless soul, struggling to attach to Xiao Huan .

Xiao Huan said nonchalantly: "As for the pain, just listen to half of what Lord Yuheng has to say."

Lin Yi asked: "You were not in a hurry to deal with the spell before, why do you care now?"

Xiao Huan thought for a while, but still didn't say anything, he hugged Lin Yi closer in the dark, and smiled lightly: "It will be dealt with sooner or later, right?"

Xiao Huan's voice was low: "Zi Yao, how do you know that this is why I went back to Jiangzhou?"

"Because of the scent of water lilies on your body..." Lin Yi burrowed into his arms, feeling drowsy, and fell asleep after answering in a daze.

Lin Yi guessed that this was not a coincidence, and he had been wondering why Xiao Huan had the breath of water lilies on him.

Xiao Huan didn't have the usual incense, and even if he used it, he would never choose this kind of incense.

The reason is very simple. Xiao Huan's biological mother, Concubine Jin, died in the hundred hectare red lotus pond behind Danxiao Palace, in front of the young Xiao Huan, and Xiao Huan was also cursed there.

It is self-evident what water lily means to Xiao Huan.

And every time Xiao Huan came back from Jiangzhou, there was a clearer light fragrance of water lilies on his body and even in his skin and hair. Lin Yi carefully recalled that the same was true after Xiao Huan's spell attack and taking medicine in those days in Danxiao Palace.

Presumably he returned to Jiangzhou not for urgent military affairs, but to deal with spells.

Xiao Huan was silent for a long time, and his thoughts were settled by Lin Yi's words.

He knows everything about his appearance, and he is always on his mind.

Thinking back to what Lin Yi said during the day, because of him in this life, I want to live longer, and longer.

Why not worry about him.

I want him to be safe for a hundred years, and I want to keep him safe for a hundred years.Just like the years before Xiao Huan lost and regained Lin Yi, he was looking forward to it every day.

"It's the same, and I do the same to you."

Xiao Huan turned his head and kissed the sleeping Lin Yi's temple, put his arm around Lin Yi, clasped Lin Yi's fingers tightly with one hand, and hugged him tightly before falling asleep.
