He had just walked forward calmly, and after several steps, he realized that I had not followed me, so he stopped and looked back at me.

"What's wrong?"

“…”

I stood behind, looking at him with a slightly blocked throat.

He opened his clear eyes wide and looked at me.

He is also a handsome young man. Although he is as beautiful as Huang Tianba and the brothers of the Tian family with outstanding appearance are all worse than them. Even his brother, Lord Liu Yi, is much more refined than him. He is raised in the mountains and rivers, with natural roughness.

But for some reason, the roughness is slowly being smoothed out. When he stood in the snow and looked at me, he felt a sense of being one.

At this moment, although my heart was beating constantly, it seemed like I was touching a needle. Every time my heart moved, there was a slight pain.

I smiled: "Nothing."

He glanced at me again.

I thought about it and said, "I think you are still you, but you are still different from you before."

He was stunned when he heard this, and soon laughed, and continued to turn around and walked forward, saying as he walked, "My original heart has not changed, but when I arrived at this place, I cannot remain unchanged." As he said that, he looked at me and said, "It was you who taught me."

"Me?" I laughed in silence: "When did I teach you?"

He smiled and said, "When you were in Jixiang Village, although you were always worried, you didn't think much. When they made things difficult for you, you didn't do anything to them."

“…”

"But in the hall that day," he said, his eyes sank, and said, "I saw that your face looked ugly, just like when I was embarrassed by them. I thought you were very scared, so I—. But then I realized that you were just nervous, and you were not afraid, because you had already prepared for yourself."

“…”

"You taught me that in this place, it takes this to survive."

“…”

"I complained to you before and were constrained everywhere, but now I think about it. In fact, it is because I am not doing well enough and not perfect enough that I am constrained."

“…so, today you—”

He looked at me and smiled, "I am confident that I have done everything I can and must do everything I can. Only in this way can I win!"

Looking at the firm light coming out of his clear eyes, I felt that it was both familiar and unfamiliar. In fact, he was like this from the beginning, but the different environment, different identities, and the complexity of everything made me feel more and more unfamiliar.

I was in a daze, and my feet slipped and I fell down.

"careful!"

He hurriedly reached out and I staggered into his arms, my cold cheeks pressed against his undulating chest, and suddenly, a smell and warmth that belonged to him melted around him.

My heart thumped again.

He seemed to have a stiff moment, and stood there and lost his reaction for a moment.

The wind and snow are getting more anxious.

After a while, a pair of gentle but trembling hands reached over and held my shoulders. I looked up as if I was suddenly awakened, and looked down at me just looking at his snow-like eyes: "Is it okay?"

"..." As soon as I moved, I frowned.

Although he did not fall, a pain came from his ankle and sprained ankle.

Seeing that I frowned in pain, he hurriedly helped me to walk to the stone pier on one side, brushed away the snow on it with his sleeve, took off his coat and spread it on it, and then helped me sit down, saying, "Does it hurt? Where did it hurt?"

I frowned and bit my lower lip in pain. He carefully held my feet and pinched them bit by bit: "Here? Here?" I suddenly touched my ankle and I shouted: "Ah--"

He hurriedly let go of his hand and said, "Is this here?"

"Um."

"It's okay, come on, I'll help you rub it."

After saying that, he gently rubbed my ankles through his shoes and socks. His fingering was not light or heavy, and he grasped it just right. I felt a little better, so I smiled and said, "Why do you still know this?"

He lowered his head and carefully pinched my feet, saying, "After the master's eyes were broken, he didn't listen to others' advice. He often bumped into it and fell down. He often had injuries on his body. That's how I helped him pinch it. How about it, does it still hurt?"

"Yeah, it's much better."

"Be careful later, go back and wipe it with the medicinal wine..."

While he was instructing, he continued to rub my feet. I looked down at him, unable to see the expression on his face clearly. I could only see the slender eyelashes, like black crow wings, flashing over the clear eyes. Every move seemed to be flapping their wings and flying away.

I looked at him like this and couldn't speak.

As if he felt my gaze, he looked up at me and smiled: "What are you doing when you keep looking at me?"

"..." I thought for a long time before laughing, and said softly: "It's nothing, I just remembered something when I was a child."

"What's up?"

When I mentioned that, my smile was a little bit reluctant, and I curled the corners of my lips and said, "I remember that at that time, it was already difficult and needed to rely on people to survive. However, my mother kept asking me to read books and read, learn to read music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and learn to be a female worker."

“…”

"At that time, I was still young. I was almost out of my fill and couldn't play. I had to learn so much. I was really annoyed, so I was so angry about my mother's temper. I said, what's the use of learning so much? I learned so much, no matter how exciting I learned, no one would appreciate it."

"What's your mother saying?"

"..." My thoughts were a little dazed, and I was silent for a moment before slowly saying: "My mother told me that no matter whether anyone knows it or not, I should learn it well. It is enough for me to learn everything else, God will arrange it for me."

“…”

"I have never understood what my mother said, but when I see you now, I feel that my mother's words are right."

"Why?"

I smiled, looked down at his eyes, and said, "If you still only know how to fish, then God will of course let you stay in the fishing village for a lifetime; if you are literate and well-written and want to know more, God will let you go to a college; when you learn more, think more, and expect more, God will naturally arrange for you to come to a better place."

He was slightly stunned when he heard this, and looked at me with wide eyes.

I smiled and said, "Qinghan, just be responsible for the wonderful things. God will arrange the rest."

He couldn't speak for a long time, and some serious expression appeared in his eyes, but he didn't say anything else. He just kept rubbing my ankles slowly. When it didn't hurt so much, he gently put down my ankles, stood up and turned to the lakeside, looking at the blank snow scene in front of him.

Everything in the world is white, and there is a kind of brilliance that cannot see the way of coming and does not know how the future will be.

I sat on the stone pier behind him and quietly accompanied him.

The two of them stood and sat in front and back, without saying anything, without any movement, just listening to the tiny snow foam falling one after another, time passed by little in the rustling sound, but it was not boring at all, or even cold.

Looking at his back, just looking at it like this, it seemed that he could feel his body temperature and warmth.

I don't know how long it took, but he turned around and looked at me, with a little coolness in his eyes, and he slowly said, "What about you?"

“…”

"Where will God arrange for you to go?"

He asked this question deeply, but he was also a little stupid. I smiled and said, "I don't know either."

I can't predict, even if I know where he might go in the future, I can't see his journey at all. The places I want to go and the places God arranged for me seem to be contrary to each other. I have fought with God and the Nine-Level Three Halls of the Imperial City until now, and I have never seen any winners or losers.

Because, I still refuse to admit defeat.

After a long time, I laughed and said, "Maybe, I will go to a dim light."

.

I couldn't imagine what kind of dim lights I would go to. But after the exam that day, Liu Qinghan was picked up by people from the Duwei Mansion, and I was taken back to the palace by people sent from the palace. As soon as I entered the palace gate, I saw the lights were all over the place.

Today is a really lively day.

Eunuch Yu followed two little eunuchs carrying lanterns and hurried over. As soon as he saw me, he immediately said, "Mr. Yue, you are finally back."

"What's wrong, Eunuch Yu, is there anything wrong with the Queen?"

"It's the emperor, and the imperial study room is called!"

My heart moved for a moment, and I didn't say anything. Just as I was about to endure the pain in my feet, I saw him wave his hand and several small eunuchs carrying a rattan chair. I was stunned for a moment, and he said softly: "Mr. Liu just asked someone to send a message in. The emperor knew about it and ordered the old slave to arrange it."

"oh……"

I didn't say much, after all, I couldn't walk much far after spraining my ankle, so I got on the rattan chair and went to the Imperial Study room.

At this time, the sky had already darkened, but there were silver candles in the imperial study room. I saw the projection on the window from afar, and the heads were shaking inside, and there seemed to be many people inside.

They stopped at the door, and Eunuch Yu helped me walk down carefully, and knocked on the door in a regular manner. When the people inside opened the door, I walked in carefully and knelt down and said, "I pay homage to the emperor."

"Flat."

His voice sounded, with a little coldness. I was fine, but I heard some people trembling. As soon as I looked up, I saw Pei Yuanhao sitting directly above. Although candlesticks were burning on both sides, under the light and shadow, some gloomy added to his face. His introverted eyes were shining brightly, with a sharp sword-like sharpness that made people dare not look directly at it.

In front of him, several old ministers were kneeling.

I just accepted it briefly, but there was still no expression on my face. I walked over respectfully. Pei Yuanhao said: "You are here just right. I am about to ask you, what are the people I caught in the exam room today?"

I bowed and replied, "If you want to go back to the emperor, today's examination room found fourteen candidates who were carrying the exam. They were the ones named Sun Wei of Yiyou, Chen Sheng of Dingsi, and Lu Shijie of Wuchen... This is the list recorded by Weichen today. Please check it out."

Every time I said one, the officials trembled. When I finished speaking, there was a pool of cold sweat on the floor below where everyone was kneeling.

After I finished speaking, I put on the list I recorded.

Pei Yuanhao took it, rolled it with his eyelids a few times, sneered, threw the booklet in his hand to the ground, and with a click, the officials shrank again, and one of his legs was so weak that he almost sat down.

Pei Yuanhao sneered: "The first time since the founding of the country, my dynasty has encountered such a big fraud case in the examination room. It's because I have lost my morality and God!"

As soon as he said this, several officials were sweating profusely and could not even speak clearly. They kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty, the emperor is wise. It is the crime of my ministers who are in prison. Please punish me for the crime of my ministers!"

"Result?"
