Everything is quiet, and the night is getting dark. The stars and rivers in the nine heavens are distant, and the silver and rivers are far away.
Lin Wanwan was sitting alone on the roof, looking up at the starry sky. The gentle night wind blew through the treetops and branches, and the subtle fragrance of summer flowers came from everywhere and filled her heart and mind, making her feel refreshed.
"Why, the stars on the roof are prettier than those under the trees?"
The originally quiet and beautiful atmosphere was broken by a slightly smiling voice.
Lin Wanwan looked down at the person standing under the house. All the beautiful scenery in the world seemed to be condensed between that person's brows and eyes. He instantly stunned the silent night. Although he was wearing a black robe, he was still dazzling.
She raised her eyebrows and said, "Young master let me go during the day, now you regret it and want to kill me, right?"
Su Jingqian lightly jumped up to the roof with his toes, stood beside her, and stood with his hands behind his back, "Shouldn't I be the one thanking you for your mercy during the day?"
Lin Wanwan raised her lips and smiled softly, with a slight sense of alienation in her eyes, "I am an insignificant person, how can my life be compared with that of the young master?"
Su Jingqian glanced at her condescendingly, then moved his eyes to the stone table under the tree in the courtyard, and said with a hint: "Since you know that you are an insignificant person, you should sit peacefully under the tree and enjoy the scenery, instead of standing on the This roof.”
Lin Wanwan ignored the hints in his words, stood up and walked to the highest point of the roof. As her eyes moved, those dazzling eyes seemed to have crashed into thousands of stars, bursting out bits and pieces of moving brilliance, like embedded treasures. People are greedy and will never realize their fall.
"Someone once told me that the higher you stand, the different the scenery you see, and your mind will become open-minded, able to hold the sun, moon and stars, see through the world, and understand the warmth and warmth of human nature."
Su Jingqian looked into her eyes, and there seemed to be tiny rays of light flashing in them, like a beam of light shining in the abyss, which was hope and salvation. He quickly noticed the moment of absence. He quickly lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly. When he raised his eyes again, his eyes returned to their usual calmness.
"Then have you understood it?"
Lin Wanwan smiled and shook her head, "After looking at it for a long time, I thought it was nothing more than this. Maybe -" she paused and glanced meaningfully at Su Jingqian, "I'm not standing tall enough."
Su Jingqian raised his eyes and glanced at the night sky. There seemed to be a sense of vicissitudes in his ethereal voice, "Since ancient times, it has always been cold at high places. The higher you stand, the more dangerous it will be."
Lin Wanwan nodded in agreement and looked at Su Jingqian with a subtle look, with a hint of probing in her eyes, "Young Master is saying that the moon at this high place is still the same moon, and the stars are still the same. Since the star is no different, why stand so high and put yourself in danger?”
"As you should."
"What about the young master?"
Su Jingqian walked up to her and stood side by side with her, staring into the distance. His deep gaze seemed out of reach, like a pool covered in thick fog, dark and unfathomable.
After a while, the thick fog in his eyes dissipated and he saw clarity again.
Just listen to his loud voice: "Wherever your heart goes, go with bare feet. Walk against the odds and brave the wind and waves."
The night wind blew violently, and Su Jingqian's voice was as solid as a rock and as clear as a pearl. It hovered in the sound of the wind and could not calm down in her heart for a long time.
Lin Wanwan stood in the wind, her clothes fluttering, her silky long hair blown by the wind, carrying a faint fragrance that gently tickled people's hearts. She gazed at the thousands of lights in the distant night with a sense of loss, and her brows seemed to be disturbed by a mountain of mist and rain, which made her whole person look a little worried.
"The Diamond Sutra says, 'All conditioned dharmas are like bubbles in a dream. They are like dew or lightning. They should be viewed in this way.' I don't know how to explain it, sir?"
Su Jingqian was silent for a moment, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and the determination in his eyes was as unshakable as the green pines and cypresses, "Buddha said: 'The human body is rare, and the Dharma is smelly.' Now that the human body has been obtained, the Dharma has been heard. . If you don’t want to spend this life in this life, how can you live in this life?”
Lin Wanwan looked sideways at him, her expressions constantly changing, as if there were thousands of emotions intertwined in her eyes. Her heartstrings were touched by his aura, with shock, worry, and an indescribable sadness. For a moment, she was filled with thoughts, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.
Looking away, she raised her hand and gently brushed away the hair that was blown by the wind on her face, as if to disperse the disturbing clouds in her heart. She calmed down and asked, "Young Master knocked on the window lattice to indicate that I am waiting for you here. You must not be discussing Buddhism with me, right?"
Su Jingqian tilted his head and looked at her, with a faint smile in his eyes, "I'm curious, why are you so sure that I'm in Nanling? Your Feihua Pavilion is indeed powerful. I act fairly low-key and have many Even though we were hiding, you still found Xuanji Tower."
A clear smile rippled on Lin Wanwan's lips. Her calm and indifferent expression exuded a confident brilliance. Her bright and beautiful face was like flowers blooming on the branches, making people feel sad. The flag swayed.
But I saw her red lips parted slightly and she spoke softly.
"The three kingdoms are watching the situation in Nanling with eager eyes, and they have already hidden murderous intentions. How can Dongchen, who is closest to Nanling, let go of this piece of fat? Besides, the game is so big, how can you feel at ease if you don't go into battle in person? As for how to check It is actually not difficult for me to get to Xuanji Tower, because I have long known that Tianshu Pavilion is already in your hands. Since you are expected to be in Nanling, then this huge assassination organization wants to hide, with your plan, except This is the most luxurious brothel in Nanling City, and you can't think of any other place. However, the Dongchen Kingdom has spent huge amounts of money on tax cuts, water conservancy projects, etc. over the years, but the national treasury has always been full, and there is even spare money to settle the people affected by Nanling floods. So where does this money come from? Come? Aren’t there just two money trees, Tianshu Pavilion and Xuanji Tower?”
She turned her head slightly, and her eyes fell on Su Jingqian's charming peach blossom eyes little by little. She deliberately slowed down her tone and said word by word, "Is what I said right, the King of Dongchen Kingdom? King, benevolence, emperor.”
Su Jingqian stared at her with a smile but not a smile, with a sense of inscrutability. He said without changing his expression: "Emperor Jing Ren is still in the palace in Dongchen."
Lin Wanwan seemed to have guessed that he would say this, and she slightly curled her red lips, "Five years ago, King Yong of the Dongchen Kingdom failed in his rebellion. Emperor Jing Ren granted death to his only uncle, but unexpectedly... He was assassinated by King Yong's remnant party who was lurking in the palace. Although he was lucky enough to save his life, most of his handsome face was destroyed. From then on, he wore most of his silver mask all day long, so the people also called him respectfully. He is the 'Silver Faced Emperor'."
Lin Wanwan glanced at him meaningfully again. The corners of Su Jingqian's mouth gradually turned up in an imperceptible arc, and he raised his eyebrows, indicating for her to continue.
"The news originally came from the inner palace. As for the process, how many people saw it? So no matter whether he was really assassinated or disfigured, as long as the person who is now in the Dongchen Kingdom Palace , his actions, words and deeds are similar to yours. After wearing most of the silver mask, who knows who he is? And -"
She paused, and her gentle tone changed suddenly, as if she wanted to expose the foreshadowing hidden somewhere, "I remember that the shadow beside you is a good hand in disguise. He has always been inseparable from you, but he is not here now." Nanling.”
"Pah - pah -"
A smile slowly filled Su Jingqian's entire face. There was a deep look of appreciation in his eyes, and he applauded Lin Wanwan's conclusion without hesitation.
"I haven't seen you for six years, but you surprise me as always." He opened and closed his reddish thin lips and called out the name that was both familiar and unfamiliar to him, "Lin Wanwan."
"You're fine, Su Jin."
