A cold lamp is like a bean, and the half-window silhouette is like frost.
Gu Yilan and Gu Fenglin stood by the window, silently watching the activities in the Priest's Palace.
Finally, those torches gradually went out, and all the noise became quiet.
Gu Yilan withdrew her gaze and said calmly: "It's beyond my expectation that you could hold back and not take action. I thought you would not be able to bear it if such sewage was poured on you."
Gu Fenglin was noncommittal: "You have to let go."
Gu Yilan said: "Have you decided?"
Gu Fenglin looked at him calmly: "You saw what I looked like just now. I don't know how long I can hold on. Maybe I won't be able to reach Xiangshan Mountain at all."
Gu Yilan was thoughtful and finally said: "Should I thank you for trusting me so much that you came to me to hide when you got sick?"
Gu Fenglin did not explain, only said: "That's almost it. Next, she will look for me everywhere. I have to go."
He hurried downstairs, his steps still staggering.
Gu Yilan withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the Priest's Palace in the morning light.
In order not to hurt his lover and family when he lost his mind, he would rather hide in his house, the opponent he should be most wary of, leaving his life and death in his hands.
He didn't quite understand the reason for such strong emotions, but he thought it might be the same as Mu Yunhan knowing that Gu Fenglin was dangerous but still choosing to be with him.
There is no shortage of love in this world, but what is rare is love that puts life and death aside.
And if he missed it, he missed it.
Gu Yilan held her forehead and chuckled.
He suddenly felt something strange outside the window, so he held the window lattice and looked outside.
In the dim light of morning, a maid wearing a blue robe and a bun, as tall as a hemp pole, stood under the dense layers of ivy, raising her head and looking in his direction dreamily.
The fine curls on her temples and the crystal dewdrops on her eyelashes showed that she had been standing there for a long time at night, but she never dared to approach Wangchun Tower because she was afraid of being discovered by him.
She spotted him, and her amber-like eyes instantly burst into bright light.
Then she took a few steps back in fear, twisting her body uneasily, ready to escape at any time.
It's Duo'er.
Gu Yilan raised her hand slightly, and Duo'er thought he was going to attack her with beans again, so she was so scared that she turned around and ran away holding her head.
But after running for two steps, she stopped again, squatted down with her head in her hands, and tried her best to shrink her body into a small ball.
The meaning was very clear. No matter how hard he attacked her, she would not leave. She just wanted to stay here, and she just wanted to stay with him.
Gu Yilan lowered her eyes and looked at this girl who didn't know how to hide her emotions, and an unspeakable emotion quietly came to her mind.
He saw himself in her.
This time, he didn't throw beans at her to drive her away. He just turned around and walked away silently. Of course, he didn't close the window either.
Duo'er blinked, rubbed her face in disbelief, then clenched her fists, jumped excitedly, and quietly moved towards Wangchun Tower.
After locking the red-skinned man with a black iron chain, Mu Yunhan began to look for Gu Fenglin.
He is not in the study, nor anywhere else in the priest's palace.
She was a little scared, always feeling that once he left, he might never come back.
"Master is here!" Jinxiu's voice came, and Mu Yunhan quickly stood up and went out to greet him.
Gu Fenglin, dressed in a faint glow, walked slowly toward her.
