Hidden Sky Light

Chen Ling reached out and pushed open the prison door, then lowered his head and entered.

The Dali Temple prison was dark in the daytime, and Shen Ci could barely see a shimmer of light here, and there were no stars in the night sky at night, only a wall lamp in the prison.

When Ziyiwei entered just now, he only saw Chen Ling's face clearly through the torch in Ziyiwei's hand.

At the moment, Ziyiwei has withdrawn, leaving a torch in the storage place, just enough to illuminate the room.

When she came here, she didn't have a dragon robe at first glance, and her eyes were clear, with a little worry and tiredness that just came into view.

"A Ling." He looked up at her, his eyes trembling slightly.

She also paced up to him. From mid-August to the beginning of October, he was alone with her for the first time.

He was leaning against the wall, sitting with his knees bent.

"Zi'an." She stepped forward, sat down slowly, on the opposite side of him, and reached out to caress his temple.

The blue silk on his temples was messy, covering a part of his cheek, she reached out and gently brushed it away. The gentleness of the fingertips touched his cheek, with a familiar and unique warmth, along the skin and into the limbs.

He looked at her, reluctant to move.

Let her fingertips gently stroke his temples, cheeks...

This kind of warmth not only made him nostalgic, but also made him look forward to it. Especially, in the dark prison of Dali Temple, for more than a month, he was the only one who faced a lonely lamp; every time he was arraigned, since he looked forward to seeing her, every time he saw her, he couldn't tell. Short-lived, but also accompanied by an unknowable stormy sea behind.

Only now, only him and her, and there is no need to worry about whether there will be waves later...

He held her hand, "A Ling..."

She looks at him.

"Is Anian okay?" He was worried about her, and also worried about Anian. If Ah Nian knew about it, he might be worried, maybe he would hate him...

He misses him.

He is here, thinking of their mother and son every day.

But neither ask nor mention.

He was on the cusp of the storm, he avoided everything he could, and it was difficult to see her, let alone Ah Nian?

He misses Ah Nian, misses him calling him Uncle Shen in a milky voice, misses him throwing himself into his arms and asks him to hold him, and when he takes him on a horse, he proudly said that he will be like Uncle Shen in the future...

Shen Ci's eyes were slightly moist again, and his throat also swallowed softly.

"A Nian is very good. I let Xiao Wu take care of him. He is very good with Xiao Wu, and he listens to Xiao Wu. I also let Mammy Fang watch it, so as not to let the gossip from the side reach Anian's ears. He knows You are in Beijing, but you can't go to see him temporarily. He is very sensible and misses you very much. When you have time, he will pull me and ask, when will your work be finished and you can go to see him? "

Shen Ci's breathing seemed to be a little short, and he took a deep breath, and then the starlight seemed to be crushed between his eyes, "I miss him too, A Ling, I miss our son..."

Chen Ling let go and took out a small sachet from his sleeve, "The contents in the sachet belonged to A Niansai. He knew that you were leaving. He made it for you, and you put it away."

Shen Ci took it, the starlight in his eyes was a bit more, and what A Nian did for him...

For him, it is extremely precious.

He looked at the sachet in his hand, then raised his eyes to look at her, his voice was slightly hoarse, "I said I won't let you... But the matter of the Shen family has pushed you to the forefront again, if you favor me early, it will make others …”

"You are Shen Zi'an."

She leaned in and kissed the corner of his lips.

He closed his eyes slowly.

In the dark and cold prison, it's not that he never had such a dream, but every time he wakes up, there is more coldness and chill that erodes his heart.

She kissed him, and he loved it.

In the dimly lit prison, after an unknown amount of time, his face suddenly froze.

He was all too familiar with the warmth in her palm, and the next moment, he couldn't help sighing.

She loosened her lips, "I won't be here for long, I'm going back to the palace later, you leave Beijing tomorrow, and I won't be able to see you off..."

He raised his head, leaned against the wall, closed his eyes to hide the emotions in his eyes, gasped in his mouth, didn't make a sound, and didn't know how to make a sound, just listened to her quietly.

"Zi'an, we all have our own things to do. It is important for you and me. You have your battlefield, and I also have a place that I want to mediate. Whether it is in the DPRK or the border, we all have to stick to it. There are also hurdles that must be overcome. Zi'an, do you believe me?"

"I believe." He clenched his palm tightly, "Chen Ling, I believe..."

"Do you believe me?" he said solemnly.

"Why don't you believe it?" She looked at him, "If I don't believe it, why would I let you go to the west, go to the north, and stay by your side?"

"A Ling, A Ling..." His voice became more and more hoarse.

She looked at him and knew that he was about to be moved, "Zi'an, no matter what you hear in the north, remember, I taught you the north, guard the north, and leave it to me, remember?"

"Yeah." His eyes lost clarity.

She leaned over and kissed his lips, and he couldn't help holding her tightly, calling his name constantly, "A Ling, A Ling..."

When the dust settles, I can't wait to rub her into the bottomless longing and love.

For a long time, he did not let go.

Chen Ling slowly kissed his forehead, "Where's the concentric knot? You have A Nian's sachet, give me the concentric knot."

She took it.

The four corners of the concentric knot are actually worn with some burrs.

Chen Ling was slightly startled.

"Don't lose it." He was actually reluctant to…

Chen Ling looked at him, and he looked at her too.

"Zi'an, I'm leaving." She said softly.

Shen Ci was stunned and nodded slowly.

"On the way to the north side, I have arranged for someone to be with you, and you will know when you meet." After she finished speaking, she stood up with her arms up, and he suddenly stretched out his arms to hug her tightly, "Chen Ling, wait for me..."

"I'll wait for you." She kissed his ear, provocatively, "When you come back, we'll do it on the dragon chair."

His breathing seemed to stop.

But as his breathing stopped, his hands were suddenly empty, and his arms were empty.

When she got up, the rustling sound of her clothes, she saw her slender hands and softly put on a new cloak, she left the prison without turning her head, and the footsteps gradually disappeared at the end...

His heart seemed to have just been filled, and then it was empty, like a bottomless void.

But in this hollow, there was a heavy heartbeat, and there was still warmth on the fingertips.

- Will you stay with me all the time?

—His Royal Highness, you will always grow up, there will be many people around to accompany Your Highness, and His Highness will also become a biological child. How can I always accompany Your Highness?

- But, I want you to accompany me.

- I only said it when I was really asleep, I lied to you, of course I will always be with you.

wherever I am.

no matter where you are...

***

It was late at night when Chen Ling returned to the palace, and Qi Shan was already waiting at the corner outside the palace.

When the carriage came, Qi Shan got into the carriage.

At the gate of the outer palace, Qishan opened the curtain, and the guards on duty saw that it was Qishan, so they all stepped aside and did not check the inside of the carriage. , no one else stopped him.

After Chen Ling got off the carriage, he slowly took off his cloak.

Qi Shan took it as he walked away.

Chen Ling lowered his voice and said, "Have someone send a letter to the Jingping Palace and tell Chen Xiuyuan to prepare for his return to Beijing."

"Yes." Qi Shan responded.

"Go back to Luo Yi, I have read his secret letter, and let him continue to follow. I will know who is with Huang Xuwen, where and who he has met." Chen Ling instructed.

Qishan continues to be.

At the end of the day, Chen Ling stopped outside the dormitory, "Qishan, tell Xiaowu that the people from Dali Temple will send Shen Ci back to the house tonight, and let Xiaowu go to the north gate to see him privately tomorrow."

Qishan was about to speak when Chen Ling said again, "Also, you and Fang Fang will take A Nian to the North City Gate tomorrow, and you said to take him to see the repair of the city gate; go back and tell Xiao Wu, let Shen Ci stay far away. Look at the prince."

Qi Shan was slightly startled, and then handed over.

Chen Ling returned to the hall and went straight to the apse.

Today, from early morning until nightfall, like the ups and downs of mountains and valleys, she was exhausted to deal with it, but she also dealt with it.

He undressed and entered the bath, his toes touched the gentle waves of the water, and his eyebrows relaxed slightly. Waiting for the warm water to cover the ankles, knees, waist and collarbone a little bit, it seems that the tiredness also fades a little bit in the warm water.

The brow slowly regained the clarity of the earlier days, and he also slowly thought about today and the future in his mind.

Shen Ying told her that Chen Xian had an affair with Barr.

Since Chen Xian could promise Harmia and his ascension to the throne, he would allocate the city in the west to Xirong according to the number; in the same way, he could also reach an agreement with Baal.

Chen Xian is not a smart person, and the people who give him advice are not as good as Chen Yuan.

It is very likely that Chen Xian will do the same, and like the Huaicheng Rebellion, she will have no time to take care of internal and external troubles. Chen Xian will conspire with Baal, just like when he closed his eyes with Harmiya and Tan Jin earlier. If she died in Huaicheng at that time, Chen Xian would be the last person in the court to stop Tan Jin and turn the tide.

This time if Chen Xian wants to move, Barr will definitely move too.

After Tan Jin's death, Baal didn't have too many people to fear in the north.

But Shen Ci is different.

The most taboo of Barr earlier were Tan Jin and Lou Chi. Both Tan Jin and Lou Chi died at the hands of Shen Ci. Barr was afraid of the strong, so among the garrison commanders, they would only be afraid of Shen Ci, even more than General Liu...

Earlier, General Liu had assisted with Tan Jin in the north. Shen Ci was a student of General Liu and was familiar with General Liu's way of using troops. Shen Ci is the most suitable candidate for the commander-in-chief of the northern garrison at the moment.

Therefore, no matter whether there was a scene where the Censor's desk was approaching Shen Ci earlier, she would let Shen resign to the north. Only Shen Ci really stood in the north, and no one dared to move when he was in the court.

It has never been easy for her and Shen Ci to get to where they are today. She and Shen Ci have experienced far more than others.

What they can do is to make things easier for Yan Han and Anian in the future...

Chen Ling lowered her eyes lightly.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a layer of coldness in the clear eyes.

- The way to go, I am lucky not to go now, and I will go in the future. Only when this step is really taken, can this courtier truly be the emperor's courtier.

Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, stars and universe.

She doesn't need her great-uncle to stand behind her all the time, she has her own confidants and powerful officials, and everyone is loyal to her.

She is the king of Yanhan.
