A sound of "bang bang" came from the house, and Cheng Ying's body, which was a little numb from the cold, immediately became alert, jumped off the roof, and broke in through the window.

In the house, Yu Songling was pouring himself a drink, and there was a broken teacup lying on the ground, maybe he accidentally knocked it down.Yu Songling didn't seem to see Chengying coming in, he was still drinking wine leisurely, his face was reddish, he seemed a little drunk.

Chengying quietly walked over to pick up the debris on the ground, but heard Yu Songling's lazy voice: "Rushing in without making inquiries first, it's really getting worse."

Shocked, Chengying knelt down hastily, and said in a low voice, "This subordinate knows his mistake." This action caused another clamor in his abdomen, and the pain made him gasp a few times.

"Uncomfortable?" Yu Songling frowned, got up and walked over.

"No, no." Chengying lowered her head, trying to hide it.

"Didn't I teach you to look into the other person's eyes when you tell a lie?" Yu Songling gently lifted Chengying's chin with his fingers, and said with a smile, "If you think you are lying, then Others must be able to see it."

"Subordinates, please remember!" Chengying turned his head away, he still dared not look into the eyes that made his heart beat faster.

"The face is very cold... the body is also very cold..." Yu Songling's hand slid down Cheng Ying's body, took his hand, and helped him up.He poured the wine in the cup onto the ground, poured ginseng tea, and put it in Chengying's hands: "Drink some to warm your body."

"Thank you, Lord." Cheng Ying carefully took the cup handed over by Yu Songling, the fire in the room was blazing, and the wine on the ground evaporated into the air after a while, exuding an intoxicating aroma of wine in the room.

"Your clothes are all wet, take them off and bake them." Yu Songling frowned while touching his snow-wet robe.

Chengying pursed her lips a little embarrassedly, and took off her coat to dry according to Yu Songling's instructions.Looking at the scars left on her body to protect herself, Yu Songling felt a burst of emotion in her heart.It can be seen from the fact that Chengying thinks Nineteen betrayed Princess Linglong for granted that he is not a foolish and loyal person. He has his own ideas and choices. As the name suggests, Chengying is like a double-edged sword in his hand , has extraordinary martial arts and courage, but will never become an obedient slave, all of which depends on how the swordsman weighs, and he has sacrificed his life to protect himself several times, and even conceived himself as a man. No complaints, it must not be as simple as duty, Yu Songling has always been romantic but not sincere, but now he feels that there seems to be a small concern in his heart, and he moves according to his heart.

Putting a fur coat on for Chengying, Yu Songling led him to the bed.With both feet stretched into the warm brocade quilt, the chill around Chengying's body slowly dissipated.

The two leaned side by side on the bed, Yu Songling leaned lazily, and played with Chengying's hanging hair with his fingers, but Chengying seemed very nervous, his mouth was tighter, and he sat upright like a wooden stake.

"Chengying, how long have you been with me?" Yu Songling asked lightly.

"It's still ten days away, and it will be seven years." Cheng Ying replied calmly.

"I don't seem to have asked about your past? Tell me, how did you get into the Shadow Pavilion?"

Chengying lowered his head slightly, with a bitter smile on the corner of his mouth, thought for a while, and said calmly: "I was picked up by the pavilion master when I was five years old. At that time, I was fighting wild dogs for food."

"Oh?" Yu Songling turned his face slightly and looked at Chengying, still calm, as if he was talking about other people's affairs.

"The pavilion master probably thought that I was quite agile, so he brought me back to the Shadow Pavilion to train me as a shadow. I suffered a head injury at the time, so I can't remember anything before."

"That's it~ five years old~ what was I doing when I was five years old?" Yu Songling thought, "One day after class, my father sent someone to bring a plate of pine nut candy for us princes and schoolboys to eat. One piece is very big. Children, of course, want to eat the big one greedily, but my mother told me before I went out that day, don’t eat the biggest one when eating candy. A plate of candy is mine. When the pine nut candy is served, we princes will eat it first. The eldest brother will not study with us, so the second prince is the oldest, so he should eat it first. The gentleman praised me, brought the plate to me who was the youngest, and let me take it first, and I chose an inconspicuous one according to my mother's instructions. Then the second prince couldn't wait to pick up the biggest one and put it in his mouth..."

Chengying's face changed: "When my master was five years old, the second prince should have been seven years old... According to records, the second prince died at the age of seven..."

"Oh~ yes~ he died that night." Yu Songling said flatly.

"It turns out...it's the queen..."

"No, it's the imperial palace! It's what forced a gentle and graceful woman to poison others." Yu Songling smiled mockingly, "The second prince is just a victim of a power struggle in the court. Not only him, but the queen mother, Big Brother, I, and even my father are all the same, they are all slaves to power."

"Master, you're drunk." Cheng Ying looked at him, "It's better not to say such things."

"Heh~" Yu Songling breathed lightly into Chengying's ear, "What are you afraid of, I've already drugged the cup of tea you just drank."

"Oh." Cheng Ying replied lightly.

"You don't believe it?" Yu Songling asked.

"letter."

"Then are you not afraid?"

"I drank all the tea, I'm afraid it's useless."

"Haha..." Yu Songling laughed loudly, "Chengying, only with your calmness can you practice such a fast sword. You are really a natural born swordsman."

"That Lord is a born king."

"Oh?"

"A five-year-old child can resist the temptation of sugar." Cheng Ying smiled.

"Because I'm greedy, a big piece of candy can't satisfy me, what I want is everything."

"Everyone is greedy, but not everyone can know how to give up for what they get at such a young age."

"Heh..." Yu Songling smiled sadly.

The snow outside is getting bigger and bigger.

"Have you ever built a snowman?" Yu Songling asked while looking at the flying snow outside the window.

"No."

"I do not have either……"

After a brief silence, the two laughed as if they had encountered something ridiculous.

"What kind of swordsman, what kind of king, they are just two poor people who haven't even made a snowman." Yu Songling smiled and moved his hand gently to Chengying's belly, and said seriously, "I hope his five-year-old can Happier than you and me..."

Cheng Ying stared at Yu Songling with wide eyes, he rarely brought up the child on his own initiative, as he said, this child was just a product of an accident, but today his words seemed to contain another kind of emotion.

"If you had known that you were Bai Lishi, would you have saved me that day?" Yu Songling asked in a low voice.

"Hmm..." Cheng Ying thought for a while, then nodded lightly but firmly.

"Why?" Yu Songling asked, and then added, "Don't talk about your responsibilities. If you are really so obedient, go and turn that nineteen into a puppet for me."

"I..." Chengying bit her lip, lowering her head even lower.

After a long time, Yu Songling said in a low voice: "I understand." With a sweep of palm wind, all the candles in the room were extinguished.

"It's late at night, go to sleep..."

"Master~~Master?!" Cheng Ying was pulled into the quilt by Yu Songling, momentarily at a loss.

"Hush~~ Be quiet! Sleep!" Yu Songling took Chengying into his arms.There have been many people who said they liked him, but their hearts told themselves not to believe it. The person in their arms couldn't even say a word of liking, but it warmed the heart that had seen the coldness of the world.Some accidents are destined to be just accidents; while some accidents seem to be an opportunity.On this snowy night, the two embraced each other and slept together again, their hearts seemed to be getting closer.
