No one knows that Pei Lin is still afraid of something in this world.

Fire, fire, blazing fire.

Kill your timid self again and again.

When she was 5 years old, her mother-in-law was buried in the fire. She sat quietly and swallowed the poison given by her father himself.

Flames burned on her body, hair, and face.

She smiled and seemed very happy.

When he was young, he didn't understand and thought that fire could make people feel comfortable.

That day, the fire took away the only person in the world who loved him and the only protection he could rely on.

Later, when he lit the fire himself, he realized that the fire was scalding hot and the smoke rising was very choking.

It hurts when the body is burned, and the clothes and skin melt together, and when they are torn apart, there is blood and flesh on them.

He still couldn't understand why the mother-in-law was not afraid of pain. It was really painful.

Fire helped him kill his young and cowardly self.

Later, after entering the palace, he dealt with it countless times, and was bruised all over his body every time.

He began to understand that fire might be able to take away the troubles of life.

He wanted to learn to like it, but he is still afraid of it, but he has to face it again and again.

"What are you thinking about?"

Bai Yan finished washing and sat in his arms. The dim lights in the hall illuminated his side face, making it particularly soft and calm.

Pei Lin put his hands around her waist and raised his head, "It's nothing."

There was paper on the table that was originally placed in the box. Bai Yan picked it up without stopping Pei Lin.

There is only one poem on the paper, hibiscus is not as beautiful as beauty's makeup, the wind in the water palace brings the fragrance of pearls and greenery.

"Hibiscus is not as beautiful as the makeup of a beautiful woman, but the wind in the water palace brings the fragrance of pearls and green flowers."

Bai Yan read it gently and became even more puzzled.

This handwriting is somewhat similar to his. There are dozens of papers in the box folded neatly, filled with these two lines of poetry. The person who copied it must have loved this poem very much.

"These are written by two different people. Guess which one is the man's handwriting?"

Pei Lin gently pushed her long hair behind her ears, raised his head slightly and nibbled her earlobe.

The tone is coaxing, as if he is talking about love.

Bai Yan had no intention of making trouble with him now. She looked at each one carefully, but she didn't realize that it was written by two people. The handwriting was almost exactly the same.

"If you can't guess it, just tell me directly."

She pushed him gently, lowered her head and looked into his eyes, feeling that there were many more meanings in his emotions that she could not understand.

Pei Lin stared at her for a while. When she lowered her head and kissed his face, he casually pulled out one of them and said, "This one."

His father only wrote one piece, and his mother and concubine copied it every day. She even copied it so many times, trying to perfect her handwriting to be the same as his.

"this?"

Bai Yan picked it up and looked at it for a long time, but didn't find any difference.

"These are all belonging to the concubine," Pei Lin said, "This bracelet was given to her by the father. If it is unlucky, I will not give it to the empress."

He chuckled, full of sarcasm, and refolded the papers on the table and put them into the box together with the bracelet.

Bai Yan was stunned and hugged his neck. Unlucky? Explain...

"Then why are your things there?"

Bai Yan remembered the place where the fire broke out. It was a restaurant, Huachaolou, which was very famous.

Pei Lin rubbed her little hand, and gloom gradually appeared in his eyes.

That was his place. On the surface it was a place for fun, but in reality it was used to pass on and inquire about information. So his good brother probably bribed those idiots and burned down his place directly in the name of sabotaging the test.

.

He knew that he would definitely go in and take out the concubine's belongings, so he chose to use fire.

He should really thank his imperial brother for not forgetting to train him after all these years, trying again and again to polish him into the best sword in his hand.

"Pei Lin," Bai Yan stroked his face and asked him to raise his head to look at her, "you know who did it, right?"

"yes."

"He was the one who killed Xu Cheng before, right?"

"yes."

"He is from the Song Dynasty? Who is yours?"

"Yes, brother Huang."

He didn't hide it from her, because it seemed that the emperor couldn't wait any longer and he would be leaving here soon.

"Brother Royal!?"

Bai Yan suddenly frowned and became nervous inexplicably, feeling that something was about to happen.

It was the first time she saw an uncertain expression on his face, and she felt even more uneasy.

"Then...what are your plans now?"

Pei Lin looked at her and was silent for a moment.

She asked him about his plan, and he had already planned it, but as for her, he didn't know what to do with the little thing that suddenly appeared.

When he walked into the fire, he was not only afraid but also worried about her. What would she do if he couldn't get out? She would cry, and she wouldn't be able to stop crying.

"go back."

He spoke slowly, and tears welled up in Bai Yan's eyes. She should have thought of it a long time ago.

She knew that he couldn't make up his mind about her, so she should be more obedient this time and not drag him down.

She took a deep breath, held back her tears and smiled, "Okay, then go back and be well. I'll be waiting for you here. You will come back sooner or later, right?"

Her voice couldn't help but sound like crying, and Pei Lin's heart was tightly clenched, but this was not a good idea.

"Will. Will come back."

When he leaves, he will leave her enough people to protect her. There will be many of them. They are all very strong in martial arts and will protect her well. They will definitely do so.

But, they are not him.

Bai Yan nodded, she didn't know what to say now, so she just wanted to get out of his arms first, at least to get familiar with the life after he left, so that she could no longer rely on him so much.

Pei Lin felt her slowly moving away from him in his arms. He closed his eyes and resisted the temptation to raise his hands.

The warmth in his arms passed away, her weight disappeared from his legs, and the uneasiness in his heart suddenly overflowed, as if she was no longer by his side.

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

"Pei Lin."

Bai Yan lay on his shoulder and finally couldn't help crying. He hugged her so hard that it felt like her bones were bleeding.

"I will wait for you here obediently. Can you come back soon?"

Pei Lin nibbled her little face and tasted the bitterness of her tears. His heart completely belonged to her. Even before they were separated, he was already worried about the accidents that might happen.

"Are you afraid, Madam?"

Was he afraid that following him would lead to danger? For the first time, he questioned whether he would win or not. Was it worth dragging her along?

Bai Yan immediately shook her head vigorously, "I'm not afraid!"

She is just a ray of lonely soul that has passed through. What is there to be afraid of? Wherever he is, she will be there!

"good."

She firmly believes that if they kiss in midsummer, they will also walk hand in hand in golden autumn, cold winter and early spring.
