Chapter 233 The Emperor and the Dark Guard
After Lin Lie went out, he quickly found the housekeeper, ordered the carriage to be prepared, and took him to his house.
Mo Chi and Yun Chu stayed in the Lin Mansion just like that.
When the old housekeeper arranged the rooms for the two of them, Yunchu asked for the one farthest away from Mo Chi. When he made this request, Mo Chi stood in the courtyard and looked at him speechlessly. The light in his eyes was dim, and the old butler knew the identities of the two people in front of him, so he dared not offend anyone, especially the legendary moody today, he had no choice but to look at the expressionless man.
Mo Chi kept looking at Yun Chu, and after a long time, he gently withdrew his gaze, looked at the old housekeeper and said, "Just do what he says."
The old butler nodded in response, and hurriedly led his servants to prepare.
Time passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, Mo Chi and Yun Chu had already stayed in the Lin Mansion for more than a month. During this time, the relationship between the two fell into an embarrassing situation because of the kiss under the bed. Assassination, the days without tasks can make people panic.
In such a situation, people can't help but recall their past, the good, the bad, the unforgettable...
As for Yunchu, what he thought about the most was the man who would come to his place for a walk or two every day if he had nothing to do.
He really didn't understand, that man, who was clearly a ninety-five-year-old man, seemed to have given up all his figure, just to have a few more words with him, whether it was worth it or not.
Sometimes, Yun Chu would look at Mo Chi with a very puzzled look, and ask the question that he had always wanted to ask.
He didn't expect the man across from him to be able to answer. After asking, he turned his head and looked out the window. There was a huge maple tree in the courtyard. At the end of autumn, there were only bare branches left on the tree.
Mo Chi, who was sitting opposite him, raised his eyes and looked at him. From his angle, he could see Yun Chu's graceful side profile and his slightly stretched neck due to his movements.
The man smiled, and pushed the osmanthus cake that had just come out of the cage towards Yunchu, his voice was low and gentle: "Yunchu, if you like someone and want to be nice to someone, you never need to consider whether it's worth it or not."
When Yun Chu turned his head, he accidentally fell into those gentle and quiet eyes, all of which reflected his small figure.
That day after Mo Chi left before dinner as usual, Yun Chu sat alone by the window for a long time, and the cool night wind outside the window rushed into the room as if dying, blowing his neatly combed long hair Gotta have hair flying.
The skin behind the mask also felt a little bit of coolness, Yun Chu slowly closed his eyes, under the faint yellow candlelight, his slender eyelashes trembled uneasy.No one knew what was going on in his mind, only Yun Chu knew that the defense he had built up with great difficulty showed faint signs of loosening, and it was only a matter of time before it collapsed.
After autumn comes severe winter. Seeing that the weather is getting colder day by day, Lin Lie sent someone to deliver a bunch of winter supplies to the place where Yunchu and Mochi lived. Among them, Mochi also had a pure white dress. The fox fur cloak, the fur on it is clean and distinct, without a trace of impurities, it is not ordinary at first glance. It was found from the warehouses of those bandits when Lin Lie led his troops to encircle and suppress the bandits not long ago.
It was originally intended to be confiscated, but by chance, Lin Lie saw Mo Chi's blue lips from the cold, and asked the housekeeper to turn it out of the warehouse.
Lin Lie originally wanted Mo Chi to wear it to avoid the cold, but he didn't expect that the cloak had just been sent to Mo Chi's residence in the morning, and it would appear in Yunchu's yard in the afternoon.
Lin Lie, who happened to pass by the door, saw the cloak on the table, and his eyes moved slightly.
"Young Master Yun." Lin Lie looked at him and greeted him.
Yun Chu was sitting at the table, resting his chin on one hand, staring at the things on the table in a daze, recovered after hearing someone calling him, saw Lin Lie outside the door, he stood up hurriedly: "Master Lin. "
"Is it convenient for me to come in and have a sit?" Lin Lie looked at him, the man who had changed into an official robe had delicate eyebrows and elegant eyes, with a scholarly atmosphere, as warm as a piece of white marble.
"Of course." Yun Chu recovered after a pause.
Lin Lie smiled, walked in, sat down opposite him, and Yun Chu poured him a cup of tea.
After finishing everything, neither of the two spoke first, and the atmosphere in the room became a little quiet for a while.
"This winter is very cold." After a long time, Lin Lie said abruptly, Yun Chu was staring at the undulating tea leaves in the tea in front of him in a daze, upon hearing this, he raised his head to look at the man, then nodded slowly: "Yes... "
Lin Lie hooked the corners of his lips, his eyes fell on the cloak on the table, and his tone was tentative with unknown meaning: "The emperor is very concerned about Mr. Yun."
Yun Chu followed his gaze to look at the things on the table, without saying a word.
Lin Lie didn't mind either, and said to himself: "I heard that Mr. Yun and the emperor have known each other for a long time?"
Yun Chu nodded: "Seven years."
"Seven years," Lin Lie said in a tone of exclamation, and he asked Yunchu, "Master Yun thinks, how much can you understand a person in seven years?"
Yun Chu didn't know why he asked such a question, his eyes drooped slightly, and he shook his head in silence.
Lin Lie smiled softly, his low-pitched laughter was somewhat similar to Mo Chi's, and Yun Chu lost his mind for a moment.
"The lower official has known the emperor for three years. When I first came to Beijing, I often heard people talk about the current emperor. Most of them are fatuous and incompetent in governing the country. After hearing the description of the emperor by others, I felt hesitant." Lin Lie's tone was full of emotion from recalling the past, and he said: "I have thought about whether to go back the same way, and go back to my hometown to be a teacher for the rest of my life. A fatuous and incompetent emperor can do things freely."
"But I'm always a little bit unwilling. Those words are said by others. I have never seen what kind of person the real emperor is, so I always have doubts in my heart." Speaking of this, he looked sideways. Glancing at Yun Chu who was silent, he said, "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing, Mr. Yun is right or not?"
Yun Chu nodded.
"So, I decided to see it with my own eyes. The first time Zichen Palace saw the emperor, I felt that my choice was correct, so I decided to stay."
"I was demoted three years ago, does Mr. Yun know the reason?"
Yun Chu: "Because I made a typo."
Lin Lie laughed and shook his head: "It's just a cover to deceive people."
"The most popular scholar of the Hanlin Academy was demoted because of a wrong word. First, he confirmed the fact that the world is moody. It would be best if we lowered our guard and vigilance against the emperor."
"why……"
