Chu Tiankuo seemed to gnash his teeth in anger.

“Haha.” Tang Xia curved her eyes, shining with a deep smile. Under the candlelight, her face was extraordinary and seemed to come out of mud unsoiled.

“Em?” Lyuyou beside them slightly sighed.

Then, the other two were looking at her with strange expressions.

“I always feel that you are similar to Guard Chu, Your Grace.” She said.

Wasn’t it?

Tang Xia’s eyes were like the bright stars glittering in the sky, and her cheeks were as tender as oriental cherries.

While Chu Tiankuo slightly tightened his thin lips. His eyes were so deep that could cover all the stars. His eyebrows were delicate, while the line of his nose was as subtle as the most exquisite carving of God.

She was a pure fairy from heaven, while he was an other-worldly son of God wearing silver armor.

When thinking of this, they were somewhat similar.

Tang Xia raised his eyes and came across Chu Tiankuo’s eyesight. Then, they turned their heads away at the same time.

“Who would be similar to this guy!”

Lyuyou burst into a silver bell-like laughter. “When you stay with Guard Chu, you will be more active, Your Majesty.”

Tang Xia pretended to be angry. “How dare you make a joke on me? Do you forget the rules of Jiaofang Palace?”

Chu Tiankuo returned to the original topic.

“Helian Jue asked us to find out the real criminal within three days. In fact, he was showing his authority.”

His voice was very impressive and made people feel comfortable.

“Showing his authority?” Tang Xia asked curiously.

Chu Tiankuo nodded his head slightly and his handsome face became colder.

“Show his authority to Yi Jiazi or to the South Country.”

Tang Xia did not understand. It was a messy and disorderly issue, but Chu Tiankuo could think of the relationship with South Country.

After all, it was involved in the relationship between the two countries, so Tang Xia could not ask too much.

“Just go back. There is no clue, either.”

Chu Tiankuo’s voice was cold and Tang Xia did not understand. He just looked at her arrogantly and analyzed the dark situation in the harem, but now he suddenly turned to another topic and said there were no clues.

“Is he trying to send Lyuyou away deliberately.”

Tang Xia raised her eyes and just happened to Chu Tiankuo’s tricky eyes.

“This woman is not that stupid and could understand my purpose.”

Tang Xia understood and sighed seriously. “It seemed that even the infinitely resourceful Imperial Guards could not find any clues.”

“You don’t have to feel sad, Your Grace. I can help you to ask someone else and will find something out.” Lyuyou frowned and comforted at a soft voice.

“Well, let’s go back to Jiaofang Palace first.” After her words, Tang Xia turned around, but her long sleeves were lightly dragged by Chu Tiankuo.

She was stunned for a second.

Lyuyou glanced at her, but found that Tang Xia was out of mind. Then, she took a step in advance and guided for her.

While Chu Tiankuo quietly put a note in Tang Xia’s hand at the gap.

Tang Xia was serious and spread the note in her palm when Lyuyou paid no attention to her.

“9 o’clock tonight, at Royal Garden.”

Tang Xia was stunned and her long eyelashes fluttered slightly, which were like the butterflies fluttering over the sky.

“Em… Lyuyou…”

Lyuyou stopped, turning around and wore a shocking expression.

“What’s the period… at 9 o’clock tonight…”

The night was getting darker and the air was filled with slight floral fragrance. The night sky of the Royal Garden was lonely and silent, which was as dark as being dyed by the thick ink and stretching far away.

Tang Xia was hiding behind a fake stone. The breeze blew her hair over in front of her eyes. Her delicate neck showed out at the dark night. Her dress touched the ground, floating with the wind, dreamy and fascinating.

“If Chu Tiankuo… doesn’t come soon, I will leave…”

She shuddered and held by a strong strength.

“Who?” she asked softly.

The answer to her was silence.

She turned back and happened to bump into the Chu Tiankuo’s hot chest. The cool breeze blew over her hair. The sound of the breeze came over her eyes, accompanied by her accelerating heartbeats.

Chu Tiankuo held her tiny body with his arm. He put his forehead on her delicate neck, while the other hand held the back side of her head.

“Don’t talk.” The hoarse voice rang, which made Tang Xia stunned.

Her heart was nearly jumping out of her chest, forming a buzz around her ears, while she also heard a slight sound of footsteps.

Waiting for the sound far away, she raised her head from his chest.

“who is it?”

Tang Xia carefully exposed her eyes, finding that a woman in black sneaking around at the other side of the fake stone.

When she leaned over, Tang Xia quickly picked up a stone and hit towards her face.

The black square towel which covered her face fell to the ground.

The woman in black screamed at a low voice.

Tang Xia was excited and was about to step out, but Chu Tiankuo dragged her on to the ground unexpectedly.

She was shocked with surprises filled in her eyes.

Chu Tiankuo tightened his lips slightly. Under the moonlight, Tang Xia could clearly see his carefully crafted eyes.

Chu Tiankuo seemed to think about something. Then, he heard light steps coming towards them. He frowned and his eyebrows deeply wrinkled.

“Come in.” Chu Tiankuo held her into his embrace, sneaking into the gap of the fake rock and getting to the other side.

Seeing no one catching up, Chu Tiankuo took relief and the eyebrows finally relaxed.

“Why you stop me?” Tang Xia unpleasantly wrinkled her eyebrows, and the breeze lifted her cloth with a fragrance.

“Your movement has brought the Imperial Guards over here.” Chu Tiankuo did not totally relax, throwing his eyesights on Tang Xia’s delicate face.

Tang Xia spit out his tongue, and then seemed to think of something.

Her eyebrows raised and regained the excitement.

“I see the look of the fake executioner!”

Because of her excitement, her voice showed a slight tremor.

Chu Tiankuo raised his eyebrows and wore an unclear smile.

“Good, who do you think she will be?”

“It’s Huangye!” Tang Xia could not help exclaiming.

Chu Tiankuo followed to ask a question, “Why do you think it’s her?”

“I saw her!” Her hand was over Chu Tiankuo’s broad palm. “When the black scarf on her face was off, I saw her face!”

When she finished, she frowned again.

“But what is the purpose of her doing this?”

“Tell everyone that Faner died for injustice, but now she pretends to be Faner. What’s her purpose to do this?”

When Tang Xia was thinking, her thoughts inexplicably reached far away. Three slight lines squeezed on her smooth forehead and subconsciously bit her tender lips.

Chu Tiankuo turned his face. Tang Xia suddenly seemed to catch something. The strength to hold Chu Tiankuo’s arm tightened.

“Is she hopes to revenge for Faner?”

Chu Tiankuo wore a vague smile. “Your analyze is not that bad.”

Tang Xia considered it as praise. She learned the gesture of Chu Tiankuo and raised her chin arrogantly.

“But all wrong.”

He smiled and inexplicably had a taste of teasing.

Tang Xia turned her eyes with resentment. “Do you know the truth?”

Chu Tiankuo did not deny.

The breeze gently passed over the two. Chu Tiankuo said nothing, while Tang Xia was patiently waiting for his answer.

“I know.” He said after a long time.

Tang Xia wore a charming smile on her delicate face and her eyes were full of glow.

“What about sharing your idea?”

Chu Tiankuo turned his eyes and looked at the distance.

Tang Xia knew that Chu Tiankuo was unwilling to mention it.

Chu Tiankuo took her to the center of the fake rock. Tang Xia did not know there was a different scene inside the layered stones.

They had to hold each other tightly so that they could get through the gap. It was a secret between Tang Xia and Chu Tiankuo.

It was an awesome moment when they remembered after many years.

Tang Xia simply did not think about it. She softened her body and lay on the ground, looking at the sky over the fake stones.

“How about doing it together?” Tang Xia knocked at the place next to her. The fragrance of fresh grass mixed with the smell of clay, slowly rolling into their noses.

Chu Tiankuo frowned and abandoned to see her, but finally lay beside Tang Xia.

They raised their heads. The stars were densely connected into a line, dividing the sky into several spaces.

Chu Tiankuo squinted with a little addiction in his eyes.

“Think it carefully. In fact, Helian Jue is not really going to kill me.” Tang Xia’s eyes were clear.

“If he really wants to find trouble with me, he could arrest me as he has done for Yi Jiazi. But he didn’t.”

There was no expression on her face. The side of her face was really beautiful as the best jade in the world, which was made by the most skilled craftsmen.

She wore a deep smile. “Is this said that I have conquered him? Hahaha.”

Chu Tiankuo’s unusual smile faded away when hearing her words. His lips tightened, and his eyes darkened.

“What does it look like in the outside world?” Chu Tiankuo said at a light voice. It was like to ask a normal question like “have you eaten a meal?”.

Only Tang Xia noticed. The starlight covered in his eyes, the shallow wind sweeping over the stones, and the little roar ringing over the ears all left in her memory for a long time.

This perfect man who seemed to come from heaven had a cool face and shining eyes.

His thin lips were awsome, but with a subtle arc of downwards.

Tang Xia used to see his smile, which was like the spring breeze, though it was rare to see.

Chu Tiankuo… might be quite lonely.

Tang Xia turned her head, looking through Chu Tiankuo’s handsome face.

How could someone have this kind of face that never made people tired of looking at it?

“Are you falling in love with me?” He suddenly said, and his voice was very charming.

Tang Xia wore a vague smile, and the sound of her laughter was as light as the flap.

“Who will like you, you arrogant monster?”

Chu Tiankuo laughed at a deep voice and his eyes were glowing.

It returned to calm after a while.

“I hope you will not fall in love with me.” He said at a very low voice and seemed to talk to something he cherished.

While it also seemed to talk to himself, lightly and hoarsely.

Tang Xia’s eyelids gradually became heavy, and she felt a little bit tired and sleepy. She moved her body and find the most comfortable place.

In her dream, it seemed that there was a marshmallow covering her mouth, sweet and soft, while it was a little bit eager. Her heart beat fast, spreading to every corner of her body.
