Chu Yingying's heart suddenly tightened. She stood up and looked at the door. For a moment, she didn't know whether she was nervous or expecting.

She hasn't seen Cui Yunhao for a long time.

Since nine years ago, they have been dependent on each other. This is the first time that they have been apart for such a long time.

In the confusion, she couldn't remember Cui Yunhao's face for a moment.

While Chu Yingying was stunned, a familiar figure took advantage of the darkness and strode through the door without lighting a lantern.

The air still carries the scent of the grass and trees in the courtyard, floating slowly, and a few wisps of ink fragrance spread faintly.

That was Cui Yunhao. Chu Yingying's first feeling was that he had grown a lot taller.

After Cui Yunhao came in, he first stared at her closely, then turned to Cai Jinghong and others, and said: "Senior brother."

As if he was completely indifferent to Chu Yingying's arrival, Zeng Jingxian couldn't help but remind him: "You are little--ahem, your sister is here."

Cui Yunhao nodded, indicating that he understood, and said nothing else. Even his expression did not change at all, which was completely different from the gloomy look he had when he heard that Chu Yingying left Hangzhou City.

"Yingying, I miss you so much."

Chu Yingying was startled. She was about to push him away, but she heard Cui Yunhao whisper something. Her hand stopped and she listened carefully, but it was the other party calling her name: "Yingying"

Ying…”

King Yong's momentum is at its peak, almost keeping pace with the East Palace. But at this juncture, the Mid-Autumn Festival has arrived.

But since I want to settle down in the capital and establish a firm foothold in the future, I can take my time to do so, so there is no rush at this moment.

The emperor was happy and gave a house to the prince Duan Geng. This was originally a good thing, but unexpectedly, the prince was furious and had a fit in the palace. Only then did Chu Yingying learn that the house still had

The title of a haunted house.

Cui Yunhao nodded: "It's this one, what's wrong?"

Cui Yunhao walked and supported her behind her, and replied: "The emperor gave it to me on the day Xiao Chuanlu was born."

And when Chu Yingying looked at Cui Yunhao, who was a head taller than her, she also felt that our young boy was beginning to mature.

Chu Yingying suddenly looked up and saw a tall mansion standing in front of her, with a restaurant on the left, a teahouse on the right, and the General's Mansion directly opposite. It looked very familiar.

This is possible, Chu Yingying nodded, thinking in her mind, but with Cui Yunhao's current salary at the Hanlin Academy, I'm afraid he can't afford this house.

She... so why not?

Cui Yunhao was already much taller than her, and he hugged Chu Yingying for a long time. It wasn't until some footsteps came from the front that Chu Yingying couldn't bear to remind her in a low voice: "Let go, someone is coming."

Once, twice, three times, the sound was as soft as a sigh, which would be drowned by the night wind at any time.

In fact, Cui Yunhao had already carefully asked Liu Jin about these when he came.

After leaving Cai Mansion, the night was already dark. Neither of them had lit a lantern. The road ahead was pitch dark. Chu Yingying followed Cui Yunhao and could not see the road clearly. She tripped over something and almost fell down.

Chu Yingying replied: "I entered the city early in the morning. I spent some time looking for your senior brother's house. I found it around noon. The concierge said that you all went to the Hanlin Academy and were not in the house. I asked him to help report it then.

He left immediately."

The reason why Chu Yingying was deeply impressed by this house was because she heard about it from the prince Duan Geng. At that time, there were vague rumors that the prince had lost his favor.

But for some reason, he just wanted to hear Chu Yingying say it again. Even if it was just a few words, he could feel a sense of satisfaction inexplicably.

Cui Yunhao suddenly stopped and said, "Yingying, this is it."

Chu Yingying was so shocked that she stared at the house in front of her. If she remembered correctly, wasn't this house given to Prince Duan Geng in the thirty-fourth year of Yongtai?

But Chu Yingying never expected that the emperor would award this house to Cui Yunhao. What did he want to do?

Chu Yingying thought sharply, who was the previous owner before the prince got this house?

No matter how much she thought about it, she didn't have the slightest impression. Cui Yunhao called her: "Yingying, what's wrong?"

Cui Yunhao took the baggage for her with a very natural movement and said: "Yingying, I will take you to our house."

Cui Yunhao in front immediately stopped. Chu Yingying opened her mouth and was about to speak. He suddenly turned around, walked over in a few steps, stretched out his hand and hugged Chu Yingying.

Zeng Jingxian was wondering when he suddenly heard Cai Jinghong say: "Since Miss Chu is here, Yun Hao, why don't you settle her down first? It's getting late, so I won't keep you here."

Chu Yingying thought for a long time, and saw Cui Yunhao leading her through several streets, and the shops on both sides became somewhat familiar.

After bidding farewell to Cai Jinghong and others, Chu Yingying followed Cui Yunhao and walked out of the study.

Chu Yingying's voice trembled imperceptibly: "Is this the house the emperor gave you?"

Cui Yunhao reluctantly let go of his hand, looked down at her, and asked: "Yingying, how long have you been here?"

The deposed prince Duan Geng was eventually killed by Duan Ce, and his end was miserable. This haunted house lived up to its name.

Cui Yunhao nodded and said, "Senior brother, I've been troublesome these days, so I'll say goodbye to Yingying first."

"A house?" Chu Yingying was stunned for a moment, then said: "What house?"

His tone was so calm that Chu Yingying couldn't detect any emotion. She couldn't help but stare at Cui Yunhao for a few times when no one was paying attention. She still looked as calm as before, very calm.

Along the way, the servants of the Cai Mansion greeted him one after another, and Cui Yunhao also responded politely.

I don’t know if it is really such a coincidence. In the thirty-sixth year of Yongtai, the prince was deposed. Emperor Yongtai died and left a legacy. King Yong succeeded to the throne and demoted the deposed prince Duan Geng to a barbaric land to become the vassal king.

You will not be allowed to step into Jindu in this life.

Hearing this sentence, Chu Yingying's heart seemed to be soaked in warm water, and silently softened into a ball.

Cui Yunhao said: "It doesn't matter, we only live in one of the small courtyards and leave the rest alone."

Chu Yingying came back to her senses, with mixed feelings in her heart. She shook her head and said, "It's okay. This house looks so big. Can we live in it?"

Chu Yingying inevitably felt a little disappointed in her heart. She thought, maybe Cui Yunhao didn't want her to come to Jindu as much as in the letter?

Chu Yingying nodded. Now it seems that this is the only way.

Cui Yunhao led Chu Yingying into the gate of the house, and closed the door with a creaking sound that spread far into the night.

This house is indeed very big. Cui Yunhao found a lantern at the gatehouse and lit it, and carefully warned: "Yingying, follow me, don't fall."

Chu Yingying responded and followed him. The courtyard was very quiet. She could only hear the long and short chirping of insects in the summer night, which was thin and thin, like some unknown little tune.
