After Candle Moth finished speaking, Ji Qingzhuo found that Shen Rongyu's embrace became colder and colder.
Shen Rongyu knew that the candle moth was talking about something he didn't know. According to her description, his mother fell from the tower, causing panic in the entire palace.
But in his memory, if he or his mother died in any corner of the palace, it would not cause any turmoil in anyone's heart.
This should have happened before his birth.
Ji Qingzhuo looked at Candle Moth's round bun, she moved slightly and held Shen Rongyu's hand, his palm was also cold.
She felt an inexplicable uncomfortable emotion, which aroused her desire for protection from nowhere. She always wanted everything around her to be fine, and of course Shen Rongyu should be fine too.
But he's the villain, and he'll never get better.
Candle Moth stood up, and she walked behind the portrait. Behind the hanging portrait, there was a large box with a seal attached to the seal. It was faintly visible that the pattern printed on the seal was the seal of the Dongshan royal family.
"This is the token that my uncle also kept. He has never opened it, so I put it here and haven't moved it." Emperor Liang looked at the big box and let out a low sigh.
Some stories, just by listening to a few fragments, know that their ending is doomed to tragic, like the extinguished fire of his great-uncle.
"I don't dare to be interested in human affairs." Candle Moth closed his eyes and said with a smile, "Liang Xing, do you want to see it?"
Emperor Liang's name was Liang Xing, and Zhu Mo directly called him by his name, which was alien and rude, but he didn't seem to care about it.
"Curiosity is not a good thing, I have already paid the price for curiosity." Liang Xing said solemnly, "I will leave when I send you back, they will not come back to the palace, you have to protect yourself, I am just a mortal, can The only thing that binds them is the morality of their righteous sect."
"You believe humans have morals?" Candlemoth grinned again, "We are all the same."
Liang Xing smiled bitterly, and he left the secret room of Candle Palace, leaving Candle Moth standing alone.
Candle Moth didn't take the conversation just now to heart. Her sleeves with weird eyes moved and flew upwards. She liked to perch on the beam.
The place where she landed was only a stone's throw away from where Shen Rongyu and Ji Qingzhuo were hiding, and Ji Qingzhuo saw the weird round bun winking at her again.
The candle moth's body is cold, and the tentacles hanging on her forehead flicker, which is extremely strange.
Shen Rongyu's body was also cold, and his embrace was cold and stiff, as if he was dead.
Ji Qingzhuo was caught between them, his eyes widened and he was at a loss.
She wanted to turn around and hug Shen Rongyu, but in the current situation, she didn't dare to move at all, and, with the candle moths here, how would they leave?
The atmosphere froze until Ji Qingzhuo, who had always been silent, took the initiative to break the silence for the first time.
"Candle moth." She called Candle Moth.
The soft female voice that came out of nowhere made Candle Moth sit up vigilantly—she did not notice the existence of Shen Rongyu and Ji Qingzhuo.
"You... can you let it go, it's a bit crowded." Ji Qingzhuo said.
The sharp voice of the candle moth came: "Who are you?!"
"You... you don't care who I am." Ji Qingzhuo stammered even to frighten the demons, "You let me go, we're going back."
"Is it the monk who came to the palace today?" Candle Moth asked with narrowed eyes.
"No." Ji Qingzhuo denied that she was a monk, but not Meng Yaolan.
Candle Moth thought to herself that if she could hide in front of her, the other party had at least the same level of cultivation as her. Now that there are powerful monks watching outside the palace, it is not a wise move to have a conflict.
Her deal with Liang Xing was not something shameful. She was not afraid of being exposed. Since human beings are greedy, they must pay the price of trading with the demon - including the damage to his own reputation, which is also one of the costs.
"I... I'm a little curious." Ji Qingzhuo saw that Shen Rongyu, who was holding her, remained silent. She remembered that Shen Rongyu had taught herself not long ago. If she wanted to know something, she had to take the initiative to say it. Directly asked about the candle moth.
"What are you curious about?" Candle Moth actually chatted with Ji Qingzhuo-because Ji Qingzhuo's words have a desire that makes people want to talk.
"That woman in the palace." Ji Qingzhuo said, she felt Shen Rongyu who was holding her move.
"She is the queen of the palace, respected by all people, how beautiful, I don't know why she jumped off the tower because she couldn't think of it." Candle Moth tilted her head and said, the tentacles on her forehead trembled again, "She Her eyes seemed to shine, but I met her later—she is the queen, how could the palace let her die, before she fell to the ground, she was rescued by the guards kept in the palace."
"But when the light is gone, it is gone, and we will never see you again." Candle Moth moved closer to the source of the voice, "Who are you, are you human, and if you are human, I will eat you."
Just when she was about to meet Ji Qingzhuo, Shen Rongyu's invisible blood stream shot out, knocking her back directly and falling on the beam.
The tyranny of the demons rose in Candle Moth's eyes, she threw her backhand, and the poisonous scale powder on her sleeve fell, but it was unable to cause damage to Shen Rongyu.
"You are also a demon?" Candle Moth asked cautiously.
"I'm not." Ji Qingzhuo said immediately, she held Shen Rongyu's hand, "don't do it, I just... ask me something I'm curious about."
Candle Moth laughed "hee hee", she laughed, "How come there are still two faces for a demon, you are so abnormal."
When Candle Moth said these words, Ji Qingzhuo and Shen Rongyu were both stunned, and Shen Rongyu's blood spring that was planning to shoot down Candle Moth was also stunned.
Candle Moth felt the momentary change in the atmosphere. Even though Shen Rongyu has taken the offensive now, it seems that there is a deadly killing intent spreading, even if she is as evil as she is, she is also afraid.
"I don't care what you are here for, but you'd better leave now, otherwise I'll be dead now, fight with you, and lure the monks outside the palace. We don't even want to live." Candle Moth is not a fool, she knows who In this snow all occupy the absolute strength advantage.
Ji Qingzhuo looked at his round bun, and didn't speak any more, Candle Moth stepped back, opened the mechanism on the relief wall, and let them leave.
Shen Rongyu didn't do any more, and only left with Ji Qingzhuo. From beginning to end, they were not exposed in front of Candle Moth.
After leaving Candle Palace far away, Shen Rongyu removed the disguise, and Ji Qingzhuo and his figure suddenly appeared on the snow.
"Xiaoyu?" Ji Qingzhuo turned his head and looked at Shen Rongyu.
"Huh?" Shen Rongyu's face was as usual, he controlled his emotions well, but the body temperature that had not yet warmed exposed him.
"Yes, is it a difficult thing?" Ji Qingzhuo asked him in a low voice.
"No." Shen Rongyu lied again.
It wasn't a very bitter thing, and even the time he spent in the Dongshan royal family was considered as comfortable and happy as heaven.
Ji Qingzhuo is not very good at comforting people, but she always feels that her chest is blocked, and she has almost never been so curious about a person.
Shen Rongyu, what kind of person is he, and what kind of experience does he have?
She stopped when she went back to Youzhu Garden. At this moment, snow fell from the sky.
"Xiaoyu, I won't coax people." Ji Qingzhuo said.
Shen Rongyu also said something similar, what he meant was that he didn't want to coax people, but what she meant was that she really couldn't coax people.
She has such emotions that need to be expressed, but she doesn't know how to express them.
So she turned around, stood on tiptoe, and opened her arms towards Shen Rongyu for the first time.
She wrapped her arms around his narrow waist and hugged him tightly, leaning her cheek against his chest.
"Xiaoyu, you are fine, I hope you can be happier." Ji Qingzhuo whispered to him.
Shen Rongyu said, "I'm not unhappy."
He wrapped Ji Qingzhuo's back with his backhand. She was so small that he only needed a slight wrap to wrap her completely in his arms.
Ji Qingzhuo thought that her embrace was like protection and comfort, but for someone with a petite figure like her to do it, it was a bit like a hug.
But she is serious.
Ji Qingzhuo hugged him silently, not knowing what to say.
Until Shen Rongyu said, "Zhu Zhuo, smile."
Ji Qingzhuo was a little puzzled: "Why do you want me to laugh?"
"If you smile, I'll be happy." Shen Rongyu finally had the heart to tease her.
Ji Qingzhuo raised her head, she couldn't lie or smirk, but she tried her best to do so, so there were two funny arcs on her lips, she was beautiful, even with such a weird expression, she did it. It looks cute too.
Shen Rongyu looked into her eyes, and the emotions in her eyes were always soft and tolerant, gentle enough to contain all things.
He raised his hand and covered Ji Qingzhuo's cheek under the big palm.
"Go back." His body temperature gradually warmed.
"Okay." Ji Qingzhuo leaned in his arms and whispered.
She thought, she must protect him.
The two cuddled against the palace wall in the snow, and the snow fell one after another. Their embrace was like an island, but it was extremely warm, as if only the other was the only solace in this world.
They who returned to Youzhu Garden did not know that after the candle moth left, only Zhang Huang leaned against the embossed wall behind her. She raised her hand and touched her bun, and everything that happened just now seemed to be the same. It's a dream.
The voice that appeared out of thin air, and the act of her letting them leave, everything seemed like a ghost.
The candle moth stumbled to the big box behind the portrait, she vaguely knew that the woman in the portrait was unusual, and she desperately wanted to know the truth, maybe there was a clue she wanted to know in the big box left with the portrait. .
She opened the seal on the box and moved quickly, and the raised sleeves blew up the thin paper in the box.
Yes, there are a lot of letterheads in the box, Candlemoth took a closer look, the content on these letterheads is like the communication between lovers, and there are some old objects, mostly women's supplies, jewelry. Such things, but at the bottom, there is a book that looks out of place, and you can see that this is a travelogue by looking at the text on the cover of the book.
Candle Moth opened the travel note, and saw that one of the pages was folded up. On it, the seaside scenery was drawn with simple lines, including the sky and the ocean, swimming fish and birds, but the picture was very simple, and it was almost impossible to distinguish between the sea and the sea. the boundaries of the sky.
Next to this picture, there is a line of immature but seriously written words, which were written after turning the book upside down.
"Flying birds have scales, and swimming fish have wings."
"Zakuzuo said yes, you want to go to the beach with me."
