Meat, gently ground with teeth.

Suddenly, Lin Yi wanted to bite open Su Mu's throat and taste that captivating red blood.

Su Mu felt the warmth and wetness from his neck. He felt an itch and wanted to take a step back.

Lin Yi refused and hugged even tighter. "Don't move, let me hug you, that's all." His voice was hoarse and low.

Su Mu's heart softened and he didn't struggle.

After a long time, Lin Yi finally let go of his arms.

Lin Yi's eyes were a little red.

"You …" Su Mu felt that this Lin Yi was very strange, but she couldn't pinpoint what was wrong.

Lin Yi took off his outer garment and spread it out on the ground. He let Su Mu sit down as well.

Su Mu sat down obediently.

"Thank you." Lin Yi said.

"You and I shouldn't have had that word between us." Su Mu pushed a strand of loose hair behind his ear as he lowered his head and said in a somewhat lonely manner.

It had been a long time since there had been such a peaceful conversation between the two of them.

"Actually, if possible, I would rather stay in Wu City and accompany you every day to look for clues to solve this case." "But …" Lin Yi looked up at the bright moon in the sky.

Su Mu also thought of the days in Wu City. He had a sincere smile on his face, but that smile only lasted for a second. "With your identity, you are destined to bear this responsibility."

"Then are you willing to share the burden with me?" Lin Yi said impulsively.

Su Mu was silent. Her fingers unconsciously caressed the embroidery on her clothes. After a long while, she said, "I can't."

"I asked you if you would." Lin Yi stubbornly asked.

Su Mu didn't know how to reply. There were too many things locked up in the palace, so she didn't dare to stay. However, she didn't know whether or not she would be willing to stay if Lin Yi was here.

Lin Yi's eyes darkened. He nodded and did not pursue the matter.

Su Mu said: "I do not like the life in the palace. Even if my parents were alive, I would not listen to them and stay with them. To be honest, the reason I was able to become the only survivor of the Su Family was because I was already prepared to leave home. "

This was the first time Lin Yi heard of Su Mu's thoughts. He was slightly surprised, "Then, what kind of life did you once live?"

Su Mu tilted his head and thought for a moment. "Probably living alone somewhere with a house of his own. There must be a flower tree in front of the house. A few chickens will be kept in the yard. I originally wanted to keep a dog, hmm, but now that I think about it, I might as well forget about it. " That case from before had more or less left a shadow in Su Mu's heart.

"There must be running water at the back of the house. The water comes from the mountain and it is clear and sweet. Where the water flows, a vegetable bed can be left behind. "I usually read some books, and if I encounter any suspicious cases, I can also take a step forward. However, I must keep a low profile and not let my parents know where I am." As she spoke, Su Mu laughed, "These thoughts are really stupid."

Lin Yi shook his head and said, "There will be a day when I will accompany you and lead such a life."

Su Mu thought that he was joking, "Actually, before I met you, men never appeared in my life plans. Because what I want is the delivery of body and heart, and there are too few of them. Even though a pair of lovers is beautiful in this lifetime, there are very few things that can be accomplished. "

After hearing Su Mu's words, Lin Yi pursed his lips and clenched his fists. He realized how empty his promise was in Su Mu's eyes.

"However, even though there are many unresolvable conflicts between you and I, I have never regretted meeting you." Su Mu looked at the full moon in Lin Yi's eyes.

Lin Yi didn't say anything else. He silently promised himself in his heart that he would do everything Su Mu wanted.

"You don't have to be afraid that I will flee. I promise you, I will stay at the palace and give you a chance. However, if two years later, it will still be difficult for us to find a balance between us, I hope that you can let me go. " Su Mu's eyes lit up.

Lin Yi hesitated for a long time before firmly replying, "I promise you."

Su Mu smiled and stood up. "Go back and sleep. I'm also tired. If I don't sleep now, the child in my stomach will have its complaints."

Lin Yi also smiled. He held Su Mu's hand and they both went down the pavilion.

Lin Yi originally wanted to personally send Su Mu off, but he was rejected by Su Mu. In the end, Su Mu sent Lin Yi back to his sleeping quarters.

Su Mu ordered people to prepare some hot water. Lin Yi went in to take a bath. Su Mu sat outside and waited. He then found a book to read.

Su Mu had never thought of himself as a visual. However, when he saw the faintly discernible figure behind the screen, Su Mu was unable to calm his heart and read a book.

Su Mu stood up and walked out of the door, blowing on the wind for a while.

After a while, Lin Yi walked out. He wore a loose robe and his wet hair hung down his back.

Su Mu averted his eyes, not daring to look at Lin Yi.

Lin Yi laughed and let Chang Xi take a piece of dry cloth.

Lin Yi placed the dry cloth in Su Mu's hand, "You can't let me sleep with my hair wet, right?"

"Isn't there still a joyous event?" Su Mu muttered.

Chang Xi said sensibly, "Aiya, this servant even prepared a Calming Incense for the emperor. This servant will be looking for a Calm Incense to put it in." With that, he left in a fart.

Lin Yi looked innocently at Su Mu.

Su Mu was helpless and took the dry cloth.

Lin Yi laid on the bed while Su Mu sat on the edge of the bed. He used a piece of yellow dry cloth to wipe Lin Yi's hair. Lin Yi's hair was of a very good quality. It was smooth and supple, like the finest silk fabric in Jiangnan.

Lin Yi closed his eyes and put his face in his hands with a faint smile on his face.

After drying his hair, Su Mu began to massage him. Su Mu had just learned the massage technique a few days ago and had yet to find anyone to try it on him.

Lin Yi didn't know that he had become a test subject. He continued to lie there quietly, not holding back against Su Mu. However, Su Mu was quite confident and understood all the acupuncture points he needed to find.

Su Mu pressed down on her body neither lightly nor heavily. Lin Yi opened his eyes and glanced at her for a moment before quickly closing them again. He even let out a comfortable snort.

After a long while, Su Mu heard Lin Yi's soft snores. The person who had been hiding outside the whole time also walked in and lit up the Calm Incense.

The Calm Incense's smell was a little strange. Su Mu took a few more glances and asked softly, "Where did you get this Calm Incense from?"

Chang Xi used his hand to fan the Calm Incense, making it burn even more vigorously. He said softly, "It was left behind by the late emperor. From what the servant's godfather said, the late emperor often had headaches, so the great hospital offered this Calm Incense to him. It was said that the effect of this incense was extraordinary. This servant has also personally tested it yesterday, so there's no problem. At night, I really slept even more soundly. "

After Lin Yi took a fancy to Chang Xi, Chang Xi was taken in as his foster son by the eunuch next to the late emperor. This could also be considered a great tradition within the palace.
