Chapter 138 The Burning Lamp and the Intoxicating Fragrance

At midnight that night, Shen Mingjue still remembered the prince's words and pushed open the door. A faint strange fragrance lingered at his nose.

Outside the door, a white dragon horse was swinging its hooves, and a sachet was hanging on its back, which was probably the source of the fragrance.

Prince... is it true as Zhao Si said that he hopes I can sleep well tonight and no longer have to explain to him?

With doubts in his mind, Shen Mingjue reached out and took off the sachet. He opened the sachet as if by inspiration and found a small note inside.

"Please get on the horse, I will be there soon."

Shen Mingjue felt relieved for some reason. He smiled and shook his head: "Gu Changfeng, you are really...mysterious."

Although he said this, he still jumped onto the horse handsomely and neatly.

This white dragon horse was given to him by Lieutenant General Xue, but for some reason it listened to Gu Changfeng so much and actually ran on its own.

Shen Mingjue did not suspect anything and watched the horse deviate from the direction of the military camp without trying to stop it. It was not until the white dragon horse stopped that he carefully looked around.

He knew the purpose of the lanterns when he was in the music hall. Originally, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every household would light lanterns and lay them on the ground in a row, which meant that the "ancestors" who had been invited home during the New Year would be invited back home, representing that the New Year was over. Now it was February, and they were in the military camp and could not celebrate the New Year because of the war. General Shen and Deputy General Xue wanted to make up for the missed New Year on the second day of the second lunar month, when the dragon raised its head, which was why they were asked to buy lanterns.

Now the lamps were all lit up, and two rows of lamps were placed on the stone road on the top of the hill, lighting up a path in the dark night. Although spring had not yet arrived, it seemed as if we were already in spring.

Shen Mingjue turned over and got off the horse, and he felt the fragrance was even stronger. He smelled that the fragrance was extremely familiar, as if he had smelled it a long time ago, probably during the New Year's Day in the music hall.

Although not many people usually come to this hilltop, there is a path paved with stone slabs. Shen Mingjue thought that it must have been built by people nearby for spring outings.

He climbed up the stairs and finally met the person he missed so much at the top of the mountain.

Gu Changfeng changed his clothes, into a brown short-sleeved top, with his pants tucked into his boots. He didn't wear anything around his waist, not even a sachet or a jade pendant. Even his hair was neatly tied up... If other people saw him dressed like this, they would definitely say that the prince wore a servant's clothes to hide his identity. But Shen Mingjue knew that this was what Gu Changfeng wore on the day they met again.

Originally Shen Mingjue was still a little stubborn and wanted to question the other party, but the affection they felt when they met made him soften his heart.

"Chang Feng..." He muttered to himself, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly walked to Gu Changfeng's side.

However, Gu Changfeng had no chance to hear that intimate name.

"Now that you're here, I was afraid that you would think I didn't pay enough attention to you, so I went to pick you up in person, and that's why I didn't come here." Gu Changfeng said embarrassedly.

Shen Mingjue handed him the sachet he had been holding all the way.

"what do you want to say in the end?"

Gu Changfeng was already prepared, even if the other party didn't want to reminisce with him and just wanted to get straight to the point.

"Ming Jue, I like you."

The beauty in front of him suddenly opened her eyes wide, as if she couldn't believe it: "What did you say?"

Gu Changfeng took his hand and pulled him into a heart-shaped circle in the center of the lantern.

"Do you remember the jade pendant I gave you? It was left to me by my mother. In fact, I have always liked you since the first time I saw you. It's my fault that it took me so long to realize it."

Shen Mingjue pinched himself hard with the hand hidden in his sleeve, and tears came out of his eyes due to the pain. After confirming that he was not dreaming, he said in a trembling voice: "Are you serious? You are not saying this just because you feel sorry for me..."

Gu Changfeng tapped Shen Mingjue's lip with his index finger and shook his head.

"During this period of time... I have calmed down a lot. Do you still remember that I once invited you to go to Prince Yong's Mansion to see the two cats?"

Shen Mingjue thought about it carefully. Because of his amnesia, he could not remember much.

"remember."

"In fact, at that time, you and I once bathed together. You asked me when I fell in love with you, and I said it started when I gave you the jade pendant..."

With two beautiful eyebrows furrowed and pale pink lips bitten by pearly teeth, Shen Mingjue said in confusion: "Why don't I remember these?"

Gu Changfeng naturally couldn't say it was because of the card, "Because you hit your head right after that and lost your memory of that period. You returned home the next day, and then your father found out about your brother and Lou Xu, and I didn't have a chance to find you again."

Shen Mingjue suddenly had a bold idea in his mind. Could it be that because he lost his memory and became cold to the other party, this led to the misunderstanding during this period?

"It's also my fault. I didn't realize it earlier, so I ignored you for several months. As a result, I didn't know how to speak up until that time when I went to visit you at night. Because I was nervous for a moment, I said the wrong thing. I was speechless to face you again."

"You, this can't be entirely your fault... I was with you at that time? I was already with you at that time... I didn't even know..."

"Ming Jue." Gu Changfeng pulled his hand to his chest, "I really like you, can you give me another chance? Even if it's just to be friends."

"I swear I will never treat you as a friend again like I did before, and I will never be cold to you for so long..."

Shen Mingjue almost blurted out the words of agreement. His heart had never been beating so fast before. How could he control himself when the person he had been thinking about day and night said such words to him? His body was more shocked than his mind, and it seemed that something was about to burst out... Suddenly, he finally realized that there was something wrong with the fragrance. He turned around and saw that the lamp was burning out. The fragrance was blown to the top of the mountain by the wind. The strong and intoxicating fragrance surrounded the two of them.

This is clearly... the warm lanterns lit in the brothel during the Lantern Festival! The fragrance will only come out completely after it burns out, so why did the lady boss of the lantern shop send this thing over?

No wonder he said that day wishing you a happy marriage and a long-lasting love, so this is what he meant?

Gu Changfeng also smelled it, "Is this the smell of lamp flowers? Why is it so fragrant?" Even though he found something strange about his body, he didn't care about it. He pressed the man's shoulders and turned him around, "Ming Jue, do you want to think about what I just said? Do you want to forgive me for being cold to you these past few months?"

Shen Mingjue calmed down and said, "Since it's a misunderstanding, instead of worrying about whether to forgive or not, I want to see how you will behave in the future. Is this the only thing you want?"

Do you want to be with me? The last time I kissed you, you had feelings for me too. Do you want to be with me?

"Great. Thank you, Ming Jue." Gu Changfeng pursed his lips: "All I ask for today is that you can accept me again. As for my feelings for you, Ming Jue, I am a member of the royal family. Even if we are together, I cannot guarantee that I can marry you, so I hope you can think about it again. Some things cannot be achieved just by mutual affection."

I don’t know if it was the fragrance of the lamp flowers that intoxicated Shen Mingjue, or if it was the news that Gu Changfeng also liked him that made him excited and happy tonight. He said: "Do you want to marry me?"

It was just a tentative question, with the corners of his mouth curled up, but when he saw the other person's pious look, he paused slightly.

"I think so," Gu Changfeng's eyes seemed to have flames burning, burning the other person in an instant, "I dream about it."

Shen Mingjue no longer wanted to restrain himself and threw the other person to the ground. The surroundings were filled with burnt-out lamps and an extremely strong warm aroma.

"With your words, I have thought it over carefully."

Gu Changfeng looked at the other person's face obsessively. Before he could understand the meaning behind this sentence, he only felt a heat on his lips. The difference from last time was that this time Gu Changfeng hugged him tightly.
