Ruan Qinghuan | The indulgent and bright caged bird
"I want this garden full of peonies to bloom overnight!"
Later she realized that it was never the emperor's grace that set fire to the pavilion to encourage flowers that winter night.
Xiao Linyuan | The blade holder willing to be imprisoned
"The sword of Jinyiwei is only loyal to the emperor... Until I met you."
When he laid three thousand hidden stakes for her in Jiangnan, Xiuchundao had already developed a weakness for her.
Story summary
In the twelfth year of Yonghe's reign, the old emperor brought back the fisherman Ruan Qinghuan from his southern tour.
Entering the palace at the age of eleven and sleeping in the palace at the age of eighteen——
She originally thought that she was just a plaything of the emperor's whims in his twilight years, until that snowy night she discovered that waiting for her on the dragon bed was the personal bodyguard who had been with him for seven years.
"Xiao Linyuan, you already knew that, right?"
She broke the tangled glass cup, and the broken porcelain scratched the center of his eyebrows:
"You're all lying to me!"
He knelt down silently, letting the blood blur his vision.
Just like in the past seven years,
When blocking the poisonous soup for her,
When he took the imperial staff for her,
When I went outside the palace wall to buy candy cakes late at night...
Always be restrained and always hesitate to speak.
When the peach blossoms in Bieyuan bloomed for the third time, Ruan Qinghuan finally tore open his sachet that never left his body.
There is no royal decree in it, only——
Dried pear petals (he took the risk when she coughed up blood in the first year of her stay in the palace)
Half of a red rope (wrapped around the hilt of his sword when she was a child)
And the roundest shell she lost when she was eleven.
