The evening sunset falls on Linghe Temple, a gentle and cold place.

The breeze blew.

The monk's clothes in front of him were also asleep, and the wind was fluttering gently.

An Ning seemed to have no idea how she looked like for the first time she saw him, and it was clearly visible at this moment.

Her nose was slightly sour.

His eyes were red as well.

Throat choked.

However, when the sound is really made, the sound is extremely calm.

She said, "Koyukikawa."

There is no doubt that it is him.

The monk was hunching his head down and fetching water.

The slow and smooth movement was obvious and stiff at the moment she heard her voice.

After a while, I felt at ease again.

He did not respond.

Didn't say yes, nor didn't say no.

"Why are you here?" An Ning asked him, standing behind him.

It seems that his answer is not needed, she has identified his identity.

The monk finally made two buckets of water.

He was carrying two buckets of water to leave at that moment.

An Ning gritted her teeth and walked straight to him, stopping his way out.

He was still wearing a mask at this moment, and his eyes looked cold at her.

An Ning asked him, "Do you still want to hide from me?"

The monk is silent.

From beginning to end, no word was said.

An Ning stretched out her hand to get the monk's mask.

The monk's eyes moved slightly.

Last time I deliberately avoided it, but this time I just looked at her and didn't refuse.

An Ning clenched her lips.

She was sure it was him, but she really wanted to expose that moment, but she began to be timid again.

Her fingers were trembling.

His hand touched the mask and trembled and never took it off his face.

I don't know how long it took to be so stalemate.

An Ning moved her fingers slightly and left the mask.

"When did you become so timid?" The man under the mask suddenly spoke.

The familiar voice and warm feeling made An Ning cry in an instant.

The reason why she gave up was just that she didn't want to make things difficult for Koyukikawa.

If he really doesn't want her to see it, she won't look it.

However, Gu Yukikawa's words made her leave and lean over again.

Then, he took off his mask.

Under the mask, the familiar face came into view.

At that moment.

Tears were crazy, falling down.

At all, it can't be controlled.

It's really Koo Yukikawa.

Gu Yukikawa, who really thought he was no longer here, appeared in front of her again in surprise.

"It's too ugly, right?" Gu Yukikawa asked in a low voice as he looked at her tears.

There seemed to be a hint of self-deprecating tone in the voice.

An Ning's forbearing emotions made her body tremble uncontrollably.

The joy of resurrection from the dead reaches the beauty of all things in the world.

She said, chokingly saying, "So you are afraid that you will not see me?"

Gu Xingchuan seemed to have a smile.

The smile is still as warm as before, as if it was basking in the spring breeze.

In fact.

He is not ugly at all.

Even if he is bald at this moment, he cannot hide his beautiful facial features or his gentle temperament.

This is probably the best monk she has ever seen.

Thinking of monk.

An Ning's nose felt inexplicably sore again.

She said, "Did Xiao Jinxing let you become a monk?"

Save his life, then force him to cut off the world.

"How many misunderstandings do you have about him?" Gu Yukikawa asked her with a smile.

An Ning's eyes moved slightly.

My heart felt like it, and it hurt a little.

"Why are you, you're not dead?" An Ning asked.

There are many things, she wants to know the truth.

Gu Xingchuan put the two buckets of water on the ground, then slowly walked towards the yard.

An Ning followed in his footsteps.

The breeze blows on your face, cool and comfortable.

"The Emperor helped me replace the pillars." Gu Xingchuan said, "When I was taken to execute, the Emperor found a death row prisoner of similar height to me and beheaded and displayed on behalf of me."

"How did it do it?" An Ning was surprised, "Since it was beheading and showing it to the public, how could it be hidden from everyone?"

"It's not difficult." Gu Xingchuan explained, "First of all, the emperor ordered that all civil and military officials should not come to see my execution, saying that they would leave enough face for me in the end, and all civil and military officials would not be suspicious. After all, in their minds, the emperor valued me after all, so it was natural to do something for me at the last moment. Secondly, all civil and military officials did not come to watch, and there were not many other people who knew me, so it would be difficult to find someone who was about the same figure as me to take over me. Of course, the emperor arranged the execution officials and executioners in advance and would not be missed during the execution. Finally, the person who took over me changed into my clothes and clothing, and deliberately made people unable to see their true faces. In this way, it was easy to get away with it."

Gu Xingchuan spoke calmly.

It's like telling other people's stories, the clouds are quiet and gentle.

"Did you know it long ago?" An Ning asked, "I knew it long ago that Xiao Jinxing would not kill you?"

"No, I only realized it when I was executed. I always thought that I would die. The emperor really had no reason to leave me. He could not let me live if it was reasonable. For the public, I felt ashamed of him and the people of the world, and I would not be willing to die. For the private, he could not mind the friendship between you and me. However, he finally let me survive for you."

An Ning nibbled her lip.

Is it really for her?!

If it is for her, why should I hide it from her?

An Ning was silent.

Gu Xingchuan looked at her appearance and said, "Are you thinking, why would the emperor do this?"

An Ning's eyelashes trembled slightly, she looked up at Gu Xingchuan and nodded honestly.

"I also wonder why the emperor has done so much for you in private, but finally chose to hide it from you." Gu Xingchuan said bluntly, "So when he secretly sent me out of Xuncheng, I asked him."

"What did he say?" An Ning looked at Gu Xichuan.

"What do you want him to say?" Koyukigawa asked back.

An Ning shook her head.

She doesn't know.

I don’t know if Xiao Jinxing did this for her because of her complete disappointment in her, but chose to hide it.

In the beginning, she did everything she could to preserve Gu Xingchuan.
