Darkness of Rebirth

Dongfang Lingwu frowned and walked slowly towards his own Lingxin Palace. Halfway there, he paused for a moment, then turned his head and quickly walked back to Zhaoxian Palace.

The little eunuch guarding the palace gate saw Princess Fengling going back and forth, and hurriedly went up to greet her, "His Royal Highness, all blessings, did something fall into Empress Zhaoxian's place?" If something hadn't fallen into the palace, It's not like he came back suddenly, "Something was left behind, and the servant went to fetch it for the princess." The little eunuch smiled obsequiously.

Seeing that the princess didn't answer, the little eunuch smiled and called again: "Your Highness the princess?" He bent down and stood in front of Dongfang Lingwu, waiting for her orders.

Dongfang Lingwu lowered his eyes and hesitated for a moment, then slowly asked: "Where does Senior Sister Chu live?" She came back just to find Chu Mi, and she had many questions in her heart, probably only Chu Mi could answer her.Concubine Xian would not tell her, and Dongfangdu would not tell her, and Chu Mi seemed to be an insider.

"Miss Chu lives in the side hall, and this servant will lead the way for the princess." The little eunuch wondered why Princess Fengling came to find Miss Chu. Miss Chu is the senior sister of the second prince, and she seems to have little friendship with Princess Fengling, but this Whether he has friendship or not, as a young eunuch, he has to lead the way for Princess Fengling.

The little eunuch brought Dongfang Lingwu to the room where Chu Mi lived, pointed to the room and said, "This is where Miss Chu lives." Seeing that the door was closed, she continued, "Miss Chu's room is usually closed. Yes, but people are there most of the time." Seeing the hesitation on Princess Feng Ling's face, the little eunuch thoughtfully said: "This servant will knock on the door for the princess."

"No need." Dongfang Lingwu called to stop the little eunuch who was about to knock on the door, "You go down first." The hand hidden in the cloak was nervously grabbing the cuff, not sure if it was nervous about the question he was about to ask, or because he had to Facing Chu Mi alone and nervous, I always feel that Chu Mi is different from facing others when facing himself.

"No, the servant will go down first." Seeing that Princess Fengling was obviously unwilling to let him stay, the little eunuch bowed politely and withdrew.

Chu Mi inside the house had already heard the movement outside the house, got up and walked slowly to the door, opened the door, and saw Dongfang Lingwu standing in front of the door in a daze, "Your Highness, are you here to look for me?" Walk out the door , walked to Dongfang Lingwu, "Come in, it's cold outside."

In winter, charcoal fires are lit inside the house.Chu Mi is a martial artist, and she doesn’t feel the cold outside, but Dongfang Lingwu is different. She is a pampered princess. She has never learned any advanced martial arts since she was a child. Legs, there is no way to use internal strength to keep out the cold.

Dongfang Lingwu, who was thinking about it, came back to his senses, looked at Chu Mi, and replied, "I'm sorry to bother you." Then he stepped into Chu Mi's room first.

"Sit down." Chu Mi followed Dongfang Lingwu into the room, turned around and closed the door, walked to Dongfang Lingwu, and motioned for her to sit down and talk.He poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Dongfang Lingwu, thinking that she would hold it to warm her hands.

Dongfang Lingwu took off his cloak, put it aside, took the hot tea from Chu Mi, held it in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Why don't you have a maid and eunuch here to serve you?" The way of hospitality is that there is not even a servant.

Chu Mi smiled, "I'm just a rough man, I don't need someone to wait on me." If there is a palace maid and eunuch waiting in her room twelve hours a day, how can she take off the mask on her face? □, don't get bored.

Glancing at Dongfang Lingwu's tightly furrowed eyebrows, he thought for a moment, and knew that she was not here to tell her about the trivial matters of the court ladies and eunuchs. Seeing that she was hesitating and seemed unable to speak, he asked first: "Princess Your Highness, what are you here for?" With a knowing expression, he looked at Dongfang Lingwu with a smile.

"Senior Sister Chu, you...why are you changing your face?" While chatting with the concubine mother, a strange woman suddenly came in. If the concubine mother hadn't said that Mi'er had come first, she might have asked the concubine in front of her. Who is the girl.Hearing that the strange woman in front of him was Chu Mi, Dongfang Lingwu was so stunned that he couldn't speak. After a lot of hard work, he suppressed the surprise in his heart, turned his head and started chatting as if nothing had happened, but the doubt in his heart became more and more serious. more and more.

Why did Dongfang Du bring Chu Mi back to the palace, and why did he let Chu Mi change his appearance to live in the Zhaoxian Palace of the concubine Xian? Dongfang Lingwu, the princess, no matter how dull she is, she is still a member of the palace, and she is also the daughter of Emperor Qianwen. This kind of thinking is not comparable to ordinary people.

"Well, you also know my real appearance. If I show my real appearance to others, I'm afraid it will be troublesome." Chu Mi replied with a smile, looking at Dongfang Lingwu intently, "Princess, what else do you want to ask?" Looking at her That way, I know that what she wants to ask is not the only one, I'm afraid there are still many things weighing on her mind.

Thinking back on Chu Mi's face that harmed the country and the people, my heart twitched, and looking at her ordinary appearance now, I really felt a little bit unbearable.Thinking of her father and those royal brothers, she also believed in her purpose of disguise.

There was silence again for a while.

Chu Mi only looked at the hesitant Dongfang Lingwu with a smile, and stopped urging.Dongfang Lingwu hesitated again and again, bit his lower lip lightly, and decided to ask Chu Mi straightforwardly: "You and Du, are you planning something?" Neither wanted to tell her.

"What can Xiaodu and I plan?" Chu Mi slowly moved closer to Dongfang Lingwu, and was about to paste it, "Princess, why don't you ask her about this matter related to Xiaodu, instead Come to ask me this outsider?" She is just Dongfang Du's senior sister, not her Dongfang Lingwu's senior sister.

While speaking, Chu Mi raised his right hand and tapped Dongfang Lingwu's chin, and turned her face to him: "Or, the princess wants to come to see me?" After a pause, he continued: "If you don't want to come to see me, Me, how could I come to my place." This question and answer, coupled with the obviously teasing and provocative actions, made Dongfang Lingwu feel a little uncomfortable.

After being stunned for a moment, he came back to his senses, Dongfang Lingwu raised his hand and slapped Chu Mi's right hand down, "Senior Sister Chu, you... show some respect, I'm talking about business with you." The generous and decent Chu Mi in front of him suddenly seemed to be a different person.I was talking about serious things, but I didn't expect Chu Mi to be so serious.

Seeing Dongfang Lingwu's sullen expression, Chu Mi hooked the corners of his lips, withdrew his hand, and sat up straight, "If there is anything, the princess should ask Xiaodu, I won't say it." But he sighed in his heart, it turned out that he was molesting the princess. It's so interesting, but compared with Xiaodu, Xiaodu is much more interesting.

"Since that's the case, then don't bother me any more." Dongfang Lingwu could tell that Chu Mi would never tell her the matter, but this appearance is a good thing for Dongfangdu, at least it shows her Senior Sister would never hurt her.

Dongfang Lingwu resisted the urge to slap her, stood up, put the cloak back on his body, hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and thanked Chu Mi: "Senior Sister Chu, thank you." Thank you for protecting Er Er like this. Emperor brother.

"For her, I am willing." Chu Mi smiled slightly, watching Dongfang Lingwu leave.After Dongfang Lingwu left, he put away that smile and began to think about the next plan.

Dongfangdu only spent a stick of incense time, rough out the general plan, how to do it depends on Chu Mi's careful planning.Thinking of the senior brother Fang Huiting whom he hadn't seen for a long time, the corners of his lips rose, "Senior brother, it seems that you can't be allowed to roam around freely outside alone."

On November 15, Qiansheng 21th year, early dynasty.

The nineteen-year-old prince, Dongfang Xi, has participated in the early court since the age of 17, listening to civil and military officials playing Bingguo affairs, watching Emperor Qianwen deal with civil and military officials, and learning the way of being a king.But this morning, besides the crown prince, Dongfang Du, who was the second prince, unexpectedly appeared in Zichen Hall.

Except for the Hussar General Zhang Shaocheng who understood why the 14-year-old second prince would appear in the Zichen Palace, all civil and military officials in the court whispered why he appeared.
