If you don't count, you will die

Chapter 28

On the second day, Shen Mo still went to Kun Xiao's residence, and the two of them read a book while the other was in a daze.

It's just that the silence didn't last until dinner, and came out early at noon.

This time he took Zhao Bao deliberately, and asked, "Are there any uninhabited palaces around?"

Zhao Bao was taken aback, as if he didn't expect Shen Mo to ask this, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Yes, there is an abandoned hall."

"Abandoned hall? Why is it abandoned?"

"Yes, the Abandoned Palace is... the former queen's dormitory... It was abandoned shortly after the emperor ascended the throne."

Nodding silently, he asked again: "Is there no one in the abandoned hall?"

Zhao Bao replied: "No, because it has been abandoned for a long time, even the palace people will not go to clean it. My lord, why are you suddenly interested in the abandoned hall?"

Shen Mo shook his head, looked at Zhao Bao, and asked, "What else do you seem to know?"

Zhao Bao's expression changed, and a forbearance of fear appeared on his deliberately tense little face, and because he had been with Shen Mo for a while, he knew that Mo Mo was actually a very easy-to-get-together master, so he couldn't help saying: "My lord, If you have nothing to do, don't go there!"

"why?"

"Because...everyone says that the abandoned palace...is haunted by ghosts!"

Silently, "Haunted?"

Zhao Bao quickly walked a few steps, only stopped half a step behind Shen Mo, looked around, saw that there was no one, and then whispered: "The abandoned palace is the former queen's bedroom! And the former queen hanged herself there Since the emperor ascended the throne, there have been rumors that the cleaning maids were always inexplicably injured. As time passed, no one dared to clean it. The emperor also ordered the palace to be abolished, and no one went there. The guards passed by, and they heard that women's cries could always be heard!"

"Women's cries? Other than these, have you seen anything else? For example...heads and the like?"

Zhao Bao paused, looked at Shen Mo's eyes widened, and seemed to feel terrible, "Head, head? Could it be my lord, what did you see, my lord?"

Shen Mo shook his head and said nothing more. Asking Zhao Bao about these things can only get some ambiguous rumors, and it is more reliable to ask Lin Mu.

Rin Mu...

Why hasn't Ling Mu appeared yet?

Should he go to Qianji Hall to find him?

As soon as he thought about it, he acted, silently asked Zhao Bao the direction of the Qianji Palace, then waved Zhao Bao back, and went to the Qianji Palace alone.

The Palace of Thousands of Machines and the Palace of Peeping Ji are not that close, they can be regarded as two extremes of the imperial palace, one east and one west.

Walking to the Palace of Thousands of Machines, looking at the small palace that is not considered magnificent, the silence is very surprising. It is rumored that the owner of the Palace of Thousands of Machines has a very good relationship with the emperor, but he did not expect that the palace is so simple, and there is not even a guard guarding the door. No.

Shen Mo went up and knocked on the closed palace door, the sound of Dangdang was very loud at the quiet palace door, but no one came to answer the door for a long time.

After thinking for a while, he pushed the palace door hard, and the door opened with a "squeak", but it was not even locked.

Without hesitation, he stepped in, passed through the simple gate of the front courtyard, and went straight to the back hall silently.

But the Thousand Machines Hall is empty, there is no one there, but there are many exquisite decorations in the house, and it is not clear what they are used for.

Silent circled around twice, this palace is not only simple, but also small, and quickly turned around thoroughly, Silent couldn't find anyone, so he had to sit by a table in the front hall, wanting to wait here for Lin Mu return.

There are a lot of things in a mess on the table, there are some knives, iron needles and other tools, and there are some small things that don't seem to be useful on the corner of the table.

Shen Mo picked up a palm-sized thing that looked like a small umbrella to play with. He didn't know where his fingertips were, and the small umbrella suddenly opened, rotated, and layered on top of each other, slowly forming a delicate iron flower.With a crush of fingertips, the little flower twirled in the hand, and it looked beautiful in no time.

"careful!"

With a sudden shout, all the delicate and beautiful petals of the small flower in his hand scattered in all directions, turning into countless sharp blades and rushing straight in front of Shen Mo.

At the same moment, an iron fan slammed in front of Shen Mo, only to hear a few crisp "ding ding ding", those iron pieces were inserted straight into the iron fan, and some of the overly long iron pieces even penetrated The iron fan is only a few centimeters away from the silent face.

Putting down the iron fan, Lin Mu's face with a little anger was rarely seen.

"You don't want to die?"

Shen Mo suddenly saw the person he was waiting for, opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say, so he just looked at Lin Mu stupidly.

Lin Mu frowned slightly, curled the corners of her lips for a while, the anger dissipated, and seeing the silent look, hooked her lips and smiled again.

Xu Shimu really hadn't seen Lin Mu for a long time, but when he saw Lin Mu's usual smile, he felt his blood surge up inexplicably, and his face gradually turned red.

Lin Mu was very close to Shen Mo, and he could see the changes of Mo Mo clearly. Seeing Mo Mo's shy state, he raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be some surprise in his eyes.

But the silence that was immersed in the sudden embarrassment couldn't find anything. He looked into the eyes of Lin Mu who was close at hand, and then suddenly lowered his eyes, as if he was a little embarrassed.

This appearance is quite different from Lin Mu's indifference when he first met him.

It's just a month or so of getting along, is it really young, has it delivered your sincerity so easily?

Lin Mu moved closer to silence for a while, looked carefully at the thin-faced and reddish boy in front of him, raised his hand and unbuttoned the red gauze button on the back of the boy's head, and the red gauze slowly fell between Shen Mo's neck, a pair of black and bright clear His eyes were staring at him intently.

Stretching out his thumb to caress the corner of Shen Mo's mouth, Lin Mu let go of Shen Mo and stepped back half a step to a safe distance.

"God back."

Silence was startled, as if he had just realized it, he immediately put down the small umbrella that was still pinched in his hand with only a thin iron rod left, and called, "Lin Mu."

Lin Mu pulled out the pierced iron pieces one by one from the iron fan, and said, "Why did you come to the Palace of Thousands of Machines?" He had a calm expression, as if it wasn't him who was grimacing just now.

Shen Mo tilted his head, why did he come to the Hall of Thousand Machines?

"I'm coming to find you."

Lin Mu laughed again, "Why are you looking for me?"

There was a trace of bewilderment in Shen Mo's eyes, and then he shook his head.

Lin Mu sneered, "Stupid."

Then he said: "Remember, you can come to Qianji Palace, but don't touch anything without me here. Any small thing here can kill you, remember?"

Shen Mo thought of the thrilling scene just now, nodded, then kept staring at Lin Mu again.

Mo Mo has never experienced these emotions, so he never knows how to hide. If he doesn't understand himself, how can he hide.

Lin Mu was stared at by the direct and fiery eyes, picking up the iron pieces one by one in his hand, the corners of his lips curled up but he couldn't hold it down, he didn't seem to resent the feeling of being stared at by Shen Mo with such eyes.

In a daze, the fingertip was scratched by the iron piece on the iron fan, and bright red blood dripped down.

Lin Mu looked at the blood drops in front of her eyes, and the inexplicable feeling that had just arisen quickly faded away like a tide. At the same time, a chill rose in her heart, and the warmth in her eyes slowly settled, and finally submerged into darkness.

He raised his hand, reaching for silence.

Shen Mo was still staring at him, seeing his finger scratched, he immediately moved over, obviously anxious, but didn't know what to do, his tense face was ignorant and cute.

But Lin Mu's heart was cold, he stretched out his fingers and touched the blood-stained fingertips on Shen Mo's lips.

After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth subconsciously, and the fingertips stretched into his mouth with blood.

Lin Mu looked at the silence, and said, "Help me treat the wound."

An idea flashed in Shen Mo's mind, he shut his mouth and licked it, and the bloody smell immediately filled his mouth.

Lin Mu looked at the obedient boy with his fingers in front of him, and said softly, "Don't waste it."

Mo Mo once drank a glass of blood wine at the canonization ceremony of the national teacher, and the blood of the master of blood wine can strengthen the effect of blood wine.

Mo Mo didn't know what Lin Mu meant when he said don't waste it, but at this moment, his heart was pounding, flustered, and his mind was in chaos, so how could he think too much?

After a while, Lin Mu withdrew his hand, the brows and eyes had returned to normal, and all the darkness faded away in an instant.

"Okay, enough."

Silence's gaze still followed Lin Mu's fingers, and said, "No need to apply medicine?"

Lin Mu tapped the corners of her silent lips, and said with a teasing smile: "It's better than medicine."

The silence was another burst of heart disorder, and the face was thin.Hong, the ridiculous thing is that he didn't notice the change in his emotions.

There was a moment of silence between the two, and Silence recalled that he wanted to ask Lin Mu about the abandoned palace before, his stagnant brain finally started to spin, and asked, "Lin Mu, do you know about the abandoned palace?"

Lin Mu retracted his hand under the sleeve robe, and pressed his thumb hard on the injured fingertip. The pain was negligible to him.

"Abandoned Palace? Why mention the Abandoned Palace?"

Silently, he told Lin Mu what he saw and heard near the abandoned hall the day before yesterday, as well as the rumors that Zhao Bao said today.

Zhao Bao didn't know how he would feel if he knew that his extremely trusted master had turned around and sold him.

Lin Mu listened, pondered for a moment, and then said: "The abandoned hall is indeed the sleeping hall of the former empress when she was alive, but I can't guess what you are talking about. It has been abandoned for a long time, so there shouldn't be anything unusual."

Shen Mo sat beside Lin Mu, listening intently to Lin Mu's speech, and couldn't help getting closer unconsciously while listening.

"It is said that the current emperor did not execute the former empress when he ascended the throne, but allowed her to live in her bedroom and enjoy her old age in peace, but the empress was afraid that she would not be reconciled, so she hanged herself soon..."

Sensing that Silence was approaching constantly, Lin Mu paused, looking at the upturned little face next to him, that face was full of concentration and the master himself had never noticed Rumu, Lin Mu sighed, stretched out his hand to cover Silence s eyes.

The eyes suddenly went dark, Shen Mo blinked, and blinked again, the slender eyelashes brushed Lin Mu's palm again and again, bringing a slight itchiness.

Lin Mu, who was already very insensitive to pain, felt that this little itching was infinitely magnified in his heart.

"Don't look at me like that."

Shen Mo raised her head, feeling the warmth brought by the palm in front of her eyes, and was puzzled by Lin Mu's words.

"How do I see you?"

The slightly parted lips were in front of her eyes, slowly opening and closing.

The hand that blocked the eyes moved down slowly, silently regained sight, looked at Lin Mu's eyes that were so close in front of him, and felt Lin Mu's palm move down slowly to cover his lips.

"Close your eyes."

Lin Mu spoke suddenly, and Shen Mo immediately closed her eyes subconsciously.

Lin Mu looked at the young man in front of him, slowly lowered his head, and his lips slowly fell on the back of his hand covering Shen Mo's lips.

Immediately, he backed away, distanced himself from Silence.

Shen Mo opened his eyes for unknown reason, looked at Lin Mu not far away, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lin Mu put her hands on her cheeks, showing a silent and familiar lazy and affectionate look, "It's nothing."
