After Zhu Mo finished speaking, Ji Qingzhuo found that Shen Rongyu's embrace became colder and colder.

Shen Rongyu knew that Zhu Mo was talking about something he had never known. According to her description, his mother fell from a high tower, causing panic in the entire palace.

But in his memory, if he or his mother died anywhere in the palace, it would not cause any ripples in anyone's heart.

This should have happened before His birth.

Ji Qingzhuo looked at Zhu Mo'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 protective desire that came from nowhere. She always wanted everything around her to be fine, and Shen Rongyu certainly wanted to be fine too.

But he's a villain, and he'll never get better.

Zhu Mo stood up and walked behind the portrait. Behind the hanging portrait, there was a large box with a seal on the seal. It was vaguely visible that the pattern printed on the seal was the seal of the Dongshan Royal Family.

"This is a token that my great-uncle also kept. He never opened it, so I just put it here and never moved it." Emperor Liang looked at the big box and let out a low sigh.

Some stories, just after hearing some fragments, you know that its ending is destined to be tragic, just like the extinguished fire in his uncle's arms.

"I'm not interested in human affairs." Zhu Mo narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Liang Xing, do you want to read it?" The emperor of Liang was named Liang Xing, and Zhu Mo directly called him by his

first name, distant and helpless. It's polite, but he doesn't seem to care about it.

"Curiosity is not a good thing. I have already paid the price for curiosity." Liang Xing said in a deep voice, "After I send you back, I will leave. They will not come to the palace again. You have to protect yourself. I am just a mortal. I can The only thing that restrains them is the morality of their righteous sect."

"Do you believe that human beings have morals?" Zhu Moth grinned again, "We are all the same."

Liang Xing smiled bitterly, and he left the secret room of the Candle Palace. Candlemoth was left standing alone.

Candle Moth didn't take the conversation to heart. Her sleeves with strange eyes moved and flew upward. 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. Ji Qingzhuo saw the weird round bun and winked at her again.

Candle Moth's body was cold, and the tentacles hanging from her forehead flickered, which was extremely strange.

Shen Rongyu's body was also cold, and the embrace he held her in 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 give Shen Rongyu a hug, but in the current situation, she didn't dare to move at all. Moreover, how could they leave with Zhu Moth here?

The atmosphere was frozen 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 from nowhere made Zhu Mo sit up straight with vigilance - she indeed did not notice the existence of Shen Rongyu and Ji Qingzhuo.

"You...can you give way? It's a bit crowded up here." Ji Qingzhuo said.

Zhu Moth's sharp voice came: "Who are you?!"

"You...you don't care who I am." Ji Qingzhuo even frightened the devil, but his voice was stammering, "You give in, we are going to Go back."

"Are you the monk who came to the palace today?" Zhu Mo asked, narrowing his eyes.

"No." Ji Qingzhuo denied it. She was a monk, but not Meng Yaolan.

Zhu Moth secretly thought that if he could hide in front of her, the other party would have at least as high a level of cultivation as her. Now that there were powerful monks watching outside the palace, it would not be wise to start a conflict.

The deal between her and Liang Xing was not something shameful. She was not afraid of being exposed. Since humans are greedy, they have to pay the price of dealing with evil spirits - including the damage to his own reputation, which is also one of the prices.

"I...I'm a little curious." Ji Qingzhuo saw that Shen Rongyu, who was holding her, had been silent. She remembered that Shen Rongyu had taught her not long ago that if she wanted to know something, she had to take the initiative to tell her, so she was worried I was brave enough to turn my back on the guest and asked Candle Moth directly.

"What are you curious about?" Zhu Mo actually started chatting with Ji Qingzhuo - because Ji Qingzhuo's words made 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 in the palace, respected by thousands of people. She is so beautiful. I don't know why she couldn't think of it and jumped off the tower." Candle Moth tilted her head and said, and the antennae on her forehead trembled again, "She Her eyes seemed to have light, but then I met her again - she was the queen, how could the palace let her die? Before she fell to the ground, she had been rescued by the guards raised in the palace." "

But that When the light goes out, it goes out and will never be seen again." Candle Moth moved towards the source of the sound, "Who are you? Are you human? If you are human, I will eat you." Before she was

about to When she met Ji Qingzhuo, Shen Rongyu's invisible blood fountain shot out, knocking her back and causing her to fall onto the crossbar.

The demon's tyrannical emotion rose in Zhu Mo's eyes. She threw it with her backhand, and the poisonous scale powder fell from her sleeves, but it was unable to cause any harm to Shen Rongyu.

"Are you a demon too?" Candle Moth asked warily.

"I'm not." Ji Qingzhuo said immediately, she held Shen Rongyu's hand, "Don't do anything, I just... asked about something I'm curious about."

Zhu Moth laughed "hehe", She laughed and said: "How come a demon has two faces? You are so abnormal."

When Zhu Mo said this, Ji Qingzhuo and Shen Rongyu were stunned. Shen Rongyu planned to shoot down Zhu Mo. The blood fountain also became exhausted.

Zhu Mo felt the instant change in the atmosphere. Even though Shen Rongyu had stopped her offensive now, there seemed to be a deadly murderous intention spreading again. Even if she was as evil as her, she was still frightened.

"I don't care what you came here to do, but you'd better leave now, otherwise I will fight you to the death and attract the monks outside the palace, and we will have no chance of living." Candle Moth is not a fool, she knows who In this snow capital, they have an absolute power advantage.

Ji Qingzhuo looked at his round bun and said nothing. Zhu Mo retreated and opened the mechanism on the relief wall to let them leave.

Shen Rongyu didn't make any more moves and just left with Ji Qingzhuo. From the beginning to the end, they were not exposed in front of Zhu Mo.

After leaving the Candle Palace far away, Shen Rongyu took off his disguise, and Ji Qingzhuo and his figures suddenly appeared on the snow.

"Xiaoyu?" Ji Qingzhuo turned around and looked at Shen Rongyu.

"Huh?" Shen Rongyu's expression remained as usual. He controlled his emotions very well, but the body temperature that had not yet warmed up exposed him.

"Is it something very uncomfortable?" Ji Qingzhuo asked him in a low voice.

"No." Shen Rongyu lied again.

It was not a very difficult thing. In fact, his time in the Dongshan Royal Family was already as comfortable and happy as heaven.

Ji Qingzhuo was not very good at comforting people, but she always felt that her chest was clogged. She had almost never been so curious about a person.

What kind of person is Shen Rongyu, and what kind of experience has he had?

She stopped walking back to Youzhu Garden. At this time, snow fell from the sky.

"Xiaoyu, I don't know how to coax people." Ji Qingzhuo said.

Shen Rongyu also said something similar. He meant that he didn't want to coax people, but she meant that she really didn't know how to coax people.

She had such emotions that needed to be expressed, but she didn't know how to express them.

So she turned around, stood on tiptoes, and opened her arms towards Shen Rongyu for the first time.

She wrapped her arms around his narrow waist, hugged him tightly, and pressed her cheek against his chest.

"Xiaoyu, you are very good. I hope you can be happy." Ji Qingzhuo whispered to him.

Shen Rongyu said, "I'm not unhappy."

He put his arm around Ji Qingzhuo's back. Her body was so thin that he only needed to hold her slightly to fully hold her in his arms.

Ji Qingzhuo thought that his embrace felt like protection and comfort, but for someone with such a petite stature, it felt a bit like throwing himself into someone's arms.

But she's serious.

Ji Qingzhuo hugged him silently, not knowing what to say.

Until Shen Rongyu spoke: "Zhuozhuo, smile."

Ji Qingzhuo was a little confused: "Why do you want me to laugh?"

"You smile, and I will be happy." Shen Rongyu finally had the intention to tease her.

Ji Qingzhuo raised her head. She couldn't lie or fake a smile, but she tried hard to do so, so there were two funny arcs on her lips. She was good-looking, even with such a weird expression, she made It looks cute too.

Shen Rongyu looked into her eyes. The emotions in her eyes were always soft and tolerant, gentle enough to accommodate all things.

He raised his hand and covered Ji Qingzhuo's cheek with his big palm.

"Go back." His body temperature gradually became warmer.

"Okay." Ji Qingzhuo leaned into his arms and whispered.

She thought that she must protect him.

The two of them cuddled up against the palace wall in the snow, and the snow fell heavily. Their bodies embracing each other were like an island, but they were extremely warm, as if each other was the only comfort in the world.

What they didn't know when they returned to Youzhu Garden was that after they left, Candle Moth leaned helplessly on the relief wall behind her. She raised her hand and touched her bun. Everything that had just happened seemed to be gone. It's a dream.

The sound that appeared out of thin air, her action of letting them leave, everything seemed to be a coincidence.

Candle Moth stumbled towards the big box behind the portrait. She vaguely knew that the woman in the portrait was unusual. She desperately wanted to know the truth. Maybe the big box left with the portrait contained the clues she wanted to know. .

She opened the seal on the box, moving quickly, and the thin paper in the box was blown up by the wind from her sleeves.

Yes, there were a lot of letterheads in the box. Zhu Mo took a closer look and found that the content on these letterheads looked like exchanges between lovers. Put together with them, there were also some old objects, mostly women's supplies, including jewelry. Something like that, but at the bottom, there is a book that looks out of place. Looking at the words on the cover, you can tell that it is a travelogue.

Candle Moth opened the travel diary and saw that one of the pages was folded up. On it, simple lines were used to draw the seaside scenery, 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 limits of heaven.

Next to this picture, there is a line of naive but carefully written words, which were written after turning the book upside down.

"Flying birds have scales, and swimming fish have wings."

"Zhuo Zhuo said that he wants to go to the beach with me."
