Chapter 14#

The early spring breeze still carried a hint of frost as it swirled through the courtyard, slipping into the dragon-patterned brocade robes of the man standing at the doorway.

Though the bone-chilling cold of the winter months had passed, Su Yang felt a chill permeate his entire being. He felt as though he had made a mistake—hand-delivering a wolf to Lin Huaiyu’s side, a wolf that intended to snatch Lin Huaiyu away right under his nose.

Chapter 15#

Blurred consciousness was pulled between reason and surrender, like a tide rushing in, dragging Lin Huaiyu deep into the seabed. Everything around him became distant, yet in the next moment of his sinking, he was violently scooped up by a large hand.

Lin Huaiyu felt a sharp pain and let out a muffled groan. Recalling that there was someone outside the room, he immediately bit his lower lip.

Chapter 16#

The weather outside the palace was exceptionally fine, the sky as clear as if it had been washed, with blue sky and white clouds looking like something from a painting. There was neither snow nor rain; winter was finally coming to a complete end.

Lin Fei drove the carriage back to the Lin Manor from the palace gates. He hadn’t been able to pick up Lin Huaiyu; he had come alone, and he was returning alone.

In the dim, cramped room, there was not a trace of light. No windows, no candles—not a single glimmer of light could enter, making it pitch black.

The young Lin Huaiyu wore a set of ragged clothes, unpatched and worn thin to the point of near-shredding from constant washing.

A small, mochi-like figure huddled in the corner, clutching himself tightly and leaning against the wall, as if this could provide some sense of security.

Chapter 18#

Rain fell for several days in a row, dense droplets striking the eaves and landing on the corridors. The leaves of the trees in the courtyard of Qinchun Palace were beaten down.

Lin Huaiyu looked at the wedding robes hanging in the room. The bright red brocade was intricately patterned, with dragon motifs embroidered stitch by stitch. The style was form-fitting and solemn; he could imagine how handsome Su Yang would look wearing them.

Chapter 19#

The sunlight was like gold leaf sprinkled over the mortal world—the best weather since the beginning of spring. It was an auspicious day and hour, suitable for going out, for marriage, and for sacrifices; everything was flourishing.

Except for funerals.

Gongs and drums filled the air, firecrackers roared, red silk fluttered in the wind, and flowers paved the entire path. A touch of bright red was added to the golden and solemn imperial palace, festive and lively.

Chapter 20#

The sky was vast and clear, with a gentle breeze lifting the bright red sleeves and dispelling the winter chill, as the summer heat approached.

Amidst the falling firecrackers and flowers, Su Yang walked down the long palace path. Under the watchful eyes of the civil and military officials, he strode toward the sacrificial altar.

The offerings on the altar were all present, yet there were no dragon and phoenix wedding candles, no Empress’s phoenix seal, and certainly no “Empress” dressed in wedding robes who should have been standing by Su Yang’s side.

Chapter 21#

Rain fell for several days in a row, as if even the Heavens couldn’t stand to see the world’s disasters and had come late to extinguish the previous days’ fire.

De Fu looked at Su Yang, who was unable to sleep at night, his body wrapped in bandages. The wounds from the fire hadn’t healed, and he would likely be left with scars.

Su Yang’s eyes were also covered with a layer of gauze, having been scorched by the firelight, and also needed time to heal. But not only did Su Yang not rest his wounds, he also refused to believe the fact that Lin Huaiyu had already died, sitting in the Imperial Study all day.

Chapter 22#

The sunlight was just right, and the weather was getting better day by day. Compared to the winter chill, the floor heating in the palace had long been stopped.

Yet not a single candle was lit in Qinchun Palace, the room cold and deserted, as if no one lived there.

Who would have thought that the dignified Son of Heaven would actually sleep in this bedroom that resembled a Cold Palace.

Chapter 23#

A flurry of thick snow fell from the Nine Heavens, as it had done a year ago. The cold wind wailed in the air, bone-chilling and sharp as a whetted blade.

Another New Year’s Eve, yet there was little festive atmosphere in the palace.

Su Yang sat alone in the Imperial Garden, with the same decorations as last year—fine wine and delicacies, lanterns and auspicious silks. No one approached, making it exceptionally quiet.

Chapter 24

Chapter 24#

Thick snow fell continuously, covering the palace paths with a heavy layer once again. The eaves were also weighed down by the heavy snow, creating a white expanse that resembled a fairyland on earth.

The trees in Qinchun Palace were also covered in snow. A few palace servants were sweeping, while others entered the bedroom in a line, carrying breakfast in their hands.

Looking at those delicacies, the few snow-sweeping palace servants discussed while Su Yang was away: “This food is delivered every day, yet never eaten every day. It’s brought out exactly as it was sent in; what’s the point?”

Chapter 25#

In the second month, the spring imperial examinations arrived, and in the blink of an eye, it was once again the season when flowers bloomed. The vast expanse of white in the capital had long been replaced by the vibrant spring scenery, and everyone had changed into light clothing.

Talented scholars from all over gathered in the capital, just to show their great ambitions.

“Brother Li! You’ve come too!” At the entrance of the examination hall, a student saw an acquaintance and stepped forward.

A bright moon hung in the sky, stars reflecting each other, dotting everyone’s night curtain with shimmering colors. The spring night was incredibly vibrant.

The Qionglin Banquet for the new top scholar was a necessary program after every spring imperial examination.

A banquet was set in the Imperial Garden, with all the civil and military officials coming to congratulate, making it very lively.

“I thought that for this year’s Qionglin Banquet, the Emperor wouldn’t want to hold it.” An official spoke softly with another before Su Yang arrived.

Chapter 27#

Spring ended and summer arrived. In the blink of an eye, it was almost summer, and the wind in the air carried a hint of heat, the burning temperature roasting the earth like a charcoal fire.

The entire Huaxia was enveloped in tiredness and fatigue, but the only thing that made people happy was that the Emperor of Great Yong had finally started attending court again. Even though those wanted posters had never been taken down from beginning to end, the civil and military officials didn’t care about those things anymore; as long as Su Yang was willing to return to court and handle political affairs, they were deeply grateful.

The golden light spilled over the stone bricks outside, reflecting like a vast expanse of white snow. For a moment, it was hard to distinguish whether it was sunlight or the color of snow; only the scorching temperature roasting one’s heart over and over again made one realize how much that snowy night was missed.

Su Yang had never felt time to be so long. He rubbed the death-exemption gold token in his hand as if he were rubbing Lin Huaiyu; his longing surged like a wild tide.

Chapter 29

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Chapter 29#

A rare cloudy day, neither raining nor sun-drenched, a gentle breeze blowing past, bringing a refreshing coolness.

Suitable for travel.

De Fu watched the joyful Su Yang preparing to leave the palace, and for a moment didn’t know whether to be happy or sad. As the saying goes, “a nation cannot be without its monarch for a single day,” and with the Emperor leaving like this, who knew how long it would be before he returned, and the morning court would be suspended again.

Chapter 30#

The night was like water, stars filling the sky, when suddenly a layer of clouds covered the moon, blocking all light and making the darkness as heavy as a deep pool.

Su Yang didn’t know what kind of feeling it was when he heard there were many people around Lin Huaiyu; his chest felt stifled and blocked, making even breathing somewhat difficult.

But after hearing Lin Huaiyu say he had someone in his heart, he really wanted to rush over immediately and take a look—to see what the person he called his beloved looked like. Could they be better than him?

Chapter 31

Chapter 31#

The clouds scattered and the wind cleared, the moon peeked out again, its soft light spilling over the entire earth. Stars dotted the sky; the Jiangnan night sky was brighter than the northern one.

Su Yang could no longer hear Ji Wuyou saying not to drive him away, that he’d shut up.

His ears were now only left with that voice from just now.

It was Lin Huaiyu; there could be no mistake.

Chapter 32#

The sunlight was gentle, and the wind was also gentle. The trees in the courtyard rustled, swaying lightly, yet it didn’t feel noisy; instead, it made one feel more at ease to fall asleep.

“Teacher! I’m back to see you!” Fang Zhixu’s voice rang out in the courtyard. Although he shouted as he entered the door, he was also afraid that Lin Huaiyu hadn’t woken up yet, so his voice wasn’t loud, only hoping that Lin Huaiyu could hear it without waking the sleeping Lin Huaiyu.

Chapter 33#

White clouds drifted lazily as the sunlight was frequently blocked by them—one moment spilling over the earth, the next not a single bit of gold remained, truly a master at playing with people’s hearts.

Su Yang was smiling gently on the side, that smile rising as the curve of Lin Huaiyu’s lips rose, appearing quite prominent.

Lin Huaiyu seemed to have just noticed him, his gaze falling on Su Yang neither heavily nor lightly.

Chapter 34

Mon, 01 Jan 0001 00:00:00 +0000

Chapter 34#

The sky was vast and clear, the sunlight blocked by clouds. The sun was not particularly fierce, yet a searing heat remained in the air, making one wish to jump into a river for a refreshing cool-down.

Su Yang hurried back to the prefect’s yamen and rummaged through the things he had brought, finding the best ointment for treating knife wounds. Clutching it, he headed toward Lin Huaiyu’s residence.

The bright moon was high in the sky, and the night sky after the rain seemed to have been washed clean. The stars were even more brilliant, and the bright moon hung clear and cold, its soft moonlight spilling over the earth.

The courtyard was brightly lit with candlelight. Fang Zhixu, Jing Fei, and Ji Wuyou were already tipsy. The wine of Great Chu was indeed strong. Seeing that Fang Zhixu couldn’t drink much, Ji Wuyou, in the name of training his tolerance, pulled him to drink several cups. Then he discovered that Jing Fei’s tolerance wasn’t great either, so he pulled Jing Fei along as well. Finally, he ended up drunk himself.

A single rain didn’t seem to take away the heat of Jiangnan; instead, the sun became even more scorching, roasting the land of Shenzhou. Pedestrians on the continent were like fish being steamed over a fire, wanting nothing more than to dive into the river for a swim.

And many did exactly that. Many people jumped into the river just to escape the sweltering heat of the blazing sun.

Chapter 37

Mon, 13 Apr 2026 11:21:28 +0000

Chapter 37#

Snow fell from the heavens, covering the land of Shenzhou and turning everything into a vast, pure white expanse.

The twenty-first year of Yonghe.

There were more palace servants sweeping the palace roads than usual. What the heavy snow covered was bright red, dripping blood, which, after being covered by the snow, seeped beneath the ice and frost.

Some palace servants couldn’t bear to see it and shivered as they worked. They couldn’t help but ask the older servant nearby: “What’s going on? Did something happen yesterday? How can there be so much blood on the palace roads?”

The mist and rain were dim, and fine rain fell gently onto the river’s surface, creating ripples. It hadn’t been raining just a moment ago, but now the drizzling rain fell, adding a unique charm to the river.

Aboard the painted pleasure boat, Lin Huaiyu’s slender fingers held a chess piece that was as smooth and warm as jade. Before him was a chess game that had already been in progress for half a day. Lin Huaiyu placed a piece and looked opposite him.

Chapter 39#

The rain wasn’t heavy, and the drifting mist and fine rain wouldn’t soak someone to the bone. Instead, it added a touch of coolness to Jiangnan’s heat.

Halfway there, Lin Huaiyu looked at Jing Fei: “Our paths diverge here; let’s part ways.”

Jing Fei blinked and said: “There’s only one umbrella; I’ll see you back.”

Lin Huaiyu shook his head and insisted: “No need. You have a fan; use it to block the rain.”
