Hearing his words, Lou Jinchuan raised his eyes and looked at him quietly, "Second Prince, are you serious?"
Li Yanlin swore solemnly, "Of course, this prince's words are as good as gold, and I will never go back on my word!"
Lou Jinchuan raised his lips slightly, "Okay, I am willing to serve the Second Prince at my utmost."
He picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp to show his sincerity.
Seeing him like this, Li Yanlin laughed heartily, very happy, "How straightforward! This prince likes straightforward people like General Wang. This prince toasts you again!"
…
Yan Xi was in good physical condition today. After taking the medicine, he couldn't resist the drowsiness and accidentally fell asleep.
The first thing Lou Jinchuan did when he came back was to ask Yan Xi about his day. When he learned that he had already fallen asleep, he quietly came to his bedside and looked at him quietly.
It was unknown how long it had been before Lou Jinchuan disguised himself and slipped into the Xiaoyao Palace.
The shadow guard in the dark of Xiaoyao Palace noticed his arrival and quickly reported it to Li Yancheng who was still in the study.
"Don't act rashly. You go down first, and I will handle it myself."
"Yes." The shadow guard quickly hid.
As soon as he left, Li Yancheng said coldly, "Come out, no need to hide."
In the candlelight, a figure appeared in front of him.
Li Yancheng turned around and looked at Lou Jinchuan, feeling mixed emotions, but mostly jealousy. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here to cooperate with you." Lou Jinchuan knew that this person didn't like him, so how could he be willing to stay with him for long? So he stated his purpose straight away.
Li Yancheng said expressionlessly, "Cooperation? What good is there for me and you to cooperate on?"
Lou Jinchuan said calmly, "The Second Prince came to see me today. He came to discuss cooperation with me. As for what the cooperation is about, I don't need to tell you, right?"
Li Yancheng certainly knew it.
His spy in the dark had already told him about their meeting.
Without thinking, he knew what Li Yanlin was planning. He simply wanted to join forces with Lou Jinchuan to deal with him.
Li Yancheng asked, "Why are you telling this to me?"
Logically speaking, Lou Jinchuan is deeply trusted by his father, and his current status is second only to the emperor, equivalent to the regent. With this status, he doesn't have to worry about him coveting He Yanxi.
He could easily use Li Yanlin to put himself under his feet, so he didn't understand why Lou Jinchuan did this.
Lou Jinchuan frowned, "Didn't I tell you? I want to cooperate with you. I can give you that position, but the premise is that you must restore the reputation of my Lou family after you ascend the throne."
"Is it that simple?" Li Yancheng was slightly surprised, half believing and half doubting.
Lou Jinchuan nodded, "It's that simple."
"You're not afraid of me..."
"I'm not afraid." Lou Jinchuan interrupted him and suddenly laughed, "He won't leave with you. He doesn't have much time left. He promised me that after he redressed the Lou family, he would travel around the mountains and rivers with me."
Li Yancheng looked into his eyes, slightly stunned, and clenched his five fingers.
The person in front of him was clearly smiling, but he didn't feel any anger. For some reason, he felt that something was going to happen to Lou Jinchuan.
An incredible but common-sense thought flashed through his mind.
"Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Sure, although I don't want to admit it, if it were you, you would do the same, right?" Lou Jinchuan took two steps and looked at the bright moon outside the window, not knowing what he was thinking.
Li Yancheng was silent.
"Look at the moon today! It's so round! The last time I saw such a round moon was six years ago when I saw it with my senior brother in the farmyard. At that time, I thought I could watch more full moons with my senior brother. I even dreamed that one day he would snuggle in my arms. Even if we didn't say anything, I knew that my senior brother loved me and cared about me, and would be with me until we grow old."
Lou Jinchuan lowered his head, his voice a little hoarse, "But...it doesn't matter, having black hair and spending the rest of your life together is also a kind of happiness."
Li Yancheng looked at his slightly desolate back, slightly distracted. For a moment, his head ached and he felt that this scene was extremely familiar, as if he had been like this before, feeling lonely and helpless facing the bright moon alone.
Inexplicably, he felt Lou Jinchuan's mood at this moment. That feeling was so painful yet so sweet. The interweaving of bitterness and sweetness was unforgettable for a long time.
In an instant, Li Yancheng felt a burning pain in his right arm.
He pursed his lips tightly, trying hard to suppress the pain and appear calm.
"Why can you live and die with him without any scruples? But I can't?" Li Yancheng suddenly felt a little ridiculous and heartbroken.
He thought he should go with them instead of being alone.
However, there was a voice in his heart that kept telling him to "live, live for him."
Lou Jinchuan raised his head and looked at him, curling his lips and laughing softly, "Because Senior Brother is my last wish."
Without this attachment, he has nothing to be attached to this world.
Senior brother is his whole world.
The world disappears, and he, the person existing in the world, will also disappear.
Li Yancheng looked at him, opened his mouth, but said nothing in the end.
He didn't want to stay.
But he really wanted to follow Yan Xi like him.
But he wanted to stay.
Yan Xi promised to come find him in the next life.
He didn't dare to reincarnate or leave easily, for he was afraid that Yan Xi wouldn't be able to find him.
