Birds on the edge of the abyss 11
Shen Changle smiled foolishly without saying a word. The two chatted back and forth for about half an hour, but Shen Luli did not come to visit. Shen Changle could no longer sit still.
He suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground.
"Brother Crown Prince, Chongguang is going to visit my brother now to see if he is okay."
Chu Xin looked at his dark head, raised the corner of his lips slightly, and then said gently and generously
"It's time for me to return to the palace. Chongguang will go. There are no outsiders here, so there's no need for such a grand ceremony."
"Thank you, Prince!" Shen Changle stood up, said with a smile, and then left in a hurry.
After he left, Chu Xin stood up, opened the curtain of the inner room and walked in.
As soon as he walked in, the musky smell became stronger. A trace of anger flashed in Chu Xin's eyes, and then he reached out and grabbed the bedding on the bed.
As expected
On it lay a strong-smelling handkerchief, on which a pattern of mandarin ducks playing in the water could be vaguely seen.
Chu Xin glanced at him with disgust, then walked out with his hands behind his back. He didn't look back at the quiet courtyard until he was out of the courtyard, and then strode away without saying a word.
Shen Luli sat on the bed blankly, raised his hand and slowly wiped the quilt stained with blood, but it looked a little creepy.
There was a trace of blood on his face, and his sleeves were stained with blood. Some of it even dripped onto his chest, and more of it was still dripping from his hands. He was wiping the blood that kept flowing onto the quilt with his eyes blank. When Shen Changle ran over happily, he saw this eye-opening scene.
"elder brother!"
Shen Changle yelled, ran up and hugged Shen Luli's thin waist.
Shen Luli was hugged by someone and was a little confused. He blinked and looked at the face of the young man who was close to him and smiled slightly.
"Chongguang is here. I was just about to come visit you. Are you feeling better?"
Shen Changle's eyes reddened as he looked at the still handsome young man. Seeing his gentle eyes looking at him intently and seriously, he pursed his lips but still couldn't hold back his tears. He shook his head and said in a muffled voice:
"Brother, you are in such a bad condition, why are you still worried about my safety?"
Shen Luli pursed his lips and smiled. Shen Changle stared at his beautiful profile for a long time before realizing that something was wrong. He reluctantly let him go and then took out a handkerchief to wipe the blood off his face and hands.
"You and I are brothers. Let's not talk about irrelevant things. As your elder brother, I will naturally care about you. Others have nothing to do with me. You are naturally the most important."
Shen Luli looked at the palm of her hand that had become clean and white again, and said softly

Shen Changle clenched his other hand, his eyes becoming more gloomy.
It's the same rhetoric again! It always pours cold water on me when I'm longing to finally be together!
Do you know the dirty thoughts in my heart? If you knew, you wouldn't indulge me like this...
He helped Shen Luli lie down again, looking at the man who immediately fell asleep with his head tilted after touching the pillow, he couldn't help but get close to his face, and finally, with great restraint, he kissed his pale cheek.

Another week passed like this, and Shen Luli was barely able to walk.
The next day, the imperial edict was passed from the palace to the prince's villa, and it was still the chief eunuch Hou Delin who came to announce the edict in person.
Shen Luli knelt in the front with the support of Shen Changle, and Shen Changle knelt behind him on the right, bowing his head to receive the order.
The content is nothing more than summoning them into the palace and then restoring the title of Lord Zhenguo.
But things have changed, the Zhenguo Mansion has fallen, and is no longer as it used to be. The Empress, who was once in the prime of her life, has now become a crazy woman who cries and shouts all day long. There are only two men left in the Zhenguo Mansion. One is the sickly eldest son who just had his coming-of-age ceremony, and the other is the young second son who is only fifteen years old.
What kind of waves can these two youngsters make?
Shen Luli raised his hand to take the imperial edict from Hou Delin's hand, kowtowed to express his gratitude, and after stuffing a bag of gold leaves into the eunuch's hand, the eunuch smiled and said,
"The Emperor sympathizes with you two brothers for the great suffering you have endured, and your injuries from prison have not yet healed. He will allow you to enter the palace in three days to receive the reward. Master Shen, please do not miss the time..."
Hou Delin glanced down at the pale-faced nobleman and said meaningfully:
"Thank you for your instructions, General Manager Hou. Peizi will enter the palace on time in three days to obey the emperor's gift." Shen Luli paused, raised his head and smiled.
"Then I will wait for the arrival of the young master, ha ha ha." Hou Delin covered his mouth and laughed as he left in the sedan chair.
Shen Luli stood up slowly, and his eyes darkened as he watched the other person leave, with a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes.
Such despicable people only come out to step on them when they are in trouble.
"Brother..."
Shen Changle stared at the thin and skinny figure in front of him, looking at him worriedly.
Shen Luli came back to his senses, concealed the deep meaning in his eyes, then turned around and said with a smile, "It's time to go home, Chongguang."
He gazed at the sunset in the distance, his black hair fluttering in the wind. He raised a hand to gently brush away the messy hair, revealing a beautiful profile. His eyes were calm, but the smile at the corner of his lips could not be concealed.
[Ding, Chen Changle's favorability +5, current favorability 55]
"good"
Shen Changle naturally held his arm, looked at him and responded softly, with a hint of gloom in his eyes.

In the woods not far from the gate of the courtyard
"Your Highness, do you want to continue forward?" Bu Nan rode his horse to Chu Xin's side and looked at His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, who was wearing an indigo-blue uniform embroidered with a silver dragon pattern and frowning as he looked at the scene in front of the courtyard.
Chu Xin snorted lightly and turned his horse around. It was hard to tell who he was more jealous of. He rode away without saying a word, leaving Bu Nan no time to react and he could only chase after him.
As the horse's back bumped and the scenery on both sides changed, Chu Xin's mind was filled with the image of that person looking into the distance with a smile on his lips, and he couldn't help but feel a little upset.
As the crown prince, when has he ever felt such an unforgettable feeling towards someone? Even though he has an extraordinary affection for Chen Changle, he still has a trace of clarity in his heart.
Chu Xin clenched the reins in his hands, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in his golden eyes.
This kind of person who disturbs the mind, this palace does not need it, Chu Xin thought
After returning to the room, the two began to pack their luggage. In fact, they didn't have much stuff. The only few clothes they had were provided by the other courtyard. There were very few things they could take away.
Sitting on the bed, Shen Luli hooked the thin rope around his neck and looked at the gem-like ornaments on it that flashed with a faint blood light and fell into deep thought. He didn't remember the existence of such a thing in his memory. It was not in his memory, and it was not in Shen Luli's memory either.
