Chapter 1355 Taking in
The emperor was finally moved by their love and gave them real wedding wine.

When the three books and six ceremonies were completed, Zhou Xing disappeared. Ling Xue looked for him anxiously and finally found him on a hillside full of plum blossoms.

Zhou Xing was squatting on the ground burning waste paper. Ling Xue approached and saw the words "divorce" faintly in the ashes. She was startled and asked, "What are you doing?"

Zhou Xing smiled and said, "Let all the unpleasant things in the past go with the wind."

Ling Xue was deeply moved. She extended her hand and smiled at Zhou Xing. From then on, they walked through the rest of their lives hand in hand and grew old together in the blue sky.

The appearance of this badge caused countless questions to arise in his mind.

Soon after, the alliance's top brass called Zhou Xing and asked him to "properly handle" Ling Xue. Zhou Xing calmly destroyed the surveillance records. He had already decided in his heart to secretly investigate the relationship between Ling Xue and the Seventh Legion.

After Ling Xue woke up, she was full of resistance to Zhou Xing's "taking her in". She insisted on repairing her old armor "Canglang". In her eyes, only this armor could give her a sense of security. Zhou Xing looked at the stubborn Ling Xue, with a slight smile on his face, and proposed that she pass the actual combat simulation test, otherwise he would confiscate her armor.

Ling Xue accepted the challenge without fear. In the simulation cabin, she faced the Zerg's sudden attack and displayed amazing tactics. However, when the Zerg approached, she adopted a tactic of dying together. Zhou Xing in the observation room frowned. He saw the loopholes in Ling Xue's tactics, but he also admired her courage without regard for her life.

Ling Xue took the opportunity to tamper with the college's file system in an attempt to conceal her identity. Zhou Xing soon noticed the abnormality, but he did not expose Ling Xue. Instead, he secretly implanted a secret file of the Seventh Legion's rehabilitation into the system, hoping that Ling Xue would discover the truth herself.

Late one night, Ling Xue sneaked into the forbidden book section of the academy. She found the Seventh Legion's files in a hidden corner. When she opened the files, a yellowed photo fell out. In the photo, the young Zhou Xing stood in front of the Seventh Legion's monument with a bright smile. Ling Xue was stunned. She didn't expect Zhou Xing to have such a connection with the Seventh Legion.

At this time, a meteorite attacked the academy. Ling Xue activated the "Canglang" armor without hesitation and rushed into the meteorite group to snipe. The armor was seriously damaged in the fierce battle, exposing its old core. Zhou Xing saw this scene and urgently drove the mecha to assist and fight side by side with Ling Xue. In the battle, the tacit cooperation of the two allowed them to successfully repel the meteorite.

After the battle, Zhou Xing picked up Ling Xue's diary that she had accidentally left behind. In the diary, it was recorded that her brother Ling Ye, who had died in battle, had mentioned that "some people are more miserable alive than dead." Zhou Xing closed the diary, looked up at the starry sky, and muttered to himself, "What are you waiting for?"

Ling Xue's old armor contains the secret key of the Seventh Legion. After some effort, Zhou Xing deciphered the contents of the secret key, and it turned out that the Seventh Legion was annihilated by poison gas. The two decided to sneak into the Alliance Archives to find more evidence. However, as soon as they entered the archives, they were ambushed.

At the critical moment of life and death, Zhou Xing did not hesitate to block the particle knife for Ling Xue. The blood oozing from the wound dripped on Ling Xue's military emblem, as if branding some kind of oath. Ling Xue looked at the injured Zhou Xing with mixed feelings in her heart.

After returning to the academy, Ling Xue discovered that the students in the academy had been injected with control chips. She was furious and threatened Zhou Xing to tell the truth. Zhou Xing had no choice but to confess: when he took over the academy three years ago, this was already a base for the alliance to monitor the remnants of the Seventh Legion.

Ling Xue and Zhou Xing decided to fight back. Ling Xue drove the "Cang Lang" armor, and Zhou Xing drove the new mecha "White Falcon", and both rushed into the interstellar storm. Ling Xue turned on the self-destruct mode to attract the firepower of the pursuers. Zhou Xing used the data link to expose the alliance's conspiracy to the entire network.

In the fierce battle, the "Canglang" armor was seriously damaged and Ling Xue was also seriously injured. Zhou Xing arrived in time and took the dying Ling Xue to the academy's medical cabin. At this time, the screen of the medical cabin showed that the genetic match between the two was as high as 99%. It turned out that they were siblings who had been separated for many years.

Just when they thought everything was over, the Alliance envoy broke in with a gun. However, the envoy saluted Ling Xue and said, "General, the Seventh Legion has been waiting for you to be reborn for seven years." It turned out that the Seventh Legion had not been completely wiped out, and they had been waiting for Ling Xue's return.

Zhou Xing, as the dean, announced Ling Xue as the honorary tutor of the academy. After the students learned the truth, they presented their medals one after another. Ling Xue looked at the students' expectant eyes and took the initiative to repair the "White Falcon" mecha for the first time. Hope was rekindled in her heart.

In the winter, a sudden heavy snow covered the whole garden. Behind the rockery, a figure was curled up. It was Zhou Xing, the unappreciated son of the Prime Minister's Mansion. He was only wearing a thin old coat and shivering in the ice and snow.

At this time, Ling Xue was admiring the plum blossoms in the plum garden with a group of maids. She was wearing a fox fur coat with gold trim, and her hair was trembling with green jade hairpins, like a fairy in the snow. Suddenly, she saw the young man holding a charcoal pencil with his frozen hands, sketching the outline of "Snowy Day" on the ground.

Ling Xue's heart moved, she walked forward and handed the hand warmer in her hand to Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing raised his head, his eyes full of gratitude. At this moment, half of a yellowed note appeared from his sleeve, on which was written "In the morning, I was a farmer, and in the evening, I was in the emperor's palace."

This scene happened to be seen by Ling Xue's personal maid. Soon, the news that Zhou Xing was pushed by his brother and fell into the icy lake reached Ling Xue's ears. Ling Xue hurried to the lakeside, looked at the wet Zhou Xing, took off her crane cloak and wrapped it around him.

A broken jade pendant fell out of Zhou Xing's arms. Ling Xue picked it up and saw that it matched the pattern of the warm mutton-fat jade ring on her neck. They were both stunned. An inexplicable fate quietly grew in this icy and snowy place.

During the Lantern Festival, the city was bustling with activity. Zhou Xing sneaked into the Lantern Market, looking at the exquisite lanterns with longing in his eyes. However, he didn't know that his whereabouts had been discovered by the secret guards.

Ling Xue spotted Zhou Xing in the crowd at a glance. She used the excuse of losing her handkerchief to approach Zhou Xing and put the gilded revolving lantern into his hands. The poem "I wish to follow the moonlight to shine on you" on the lantern seemed to have a deep meaning.

Not long after, the Queen Mother gave a banquet to the Prime Minister's residence. Zhou Xing was forced to play the pipa in the corner to liven up the atmosphere. Ling Xue sat at the table, listening to the melodious sound of the pipa, and deliberately knocked over the wine cup, splashing her skirt. She took this opportunity to sit next to Zhou Xing and discuss "Yuefu Miscellaneous Records" with him.

Zhou Xing spoke eloquently, and his talent impressed Ling Xue. However, all this was seen by Ling Xue's brother. He humiliated Zhou Xing on the spot, saying that "the son of a merchant is not fit to enter the house." Zhou Xing suppressed his anger and did not vent.

Late at night, Zhou Xing was practicing calligraphy in the corridor. Ling Xue came quietly, stood behind him, and watched him write "How can a sparrow know the ambition of a swan?" Under the moonlight, the shadows of the two overlapped, as if foreshadowing that their future destinies would be closely linked.

The day of the Spring Examination results came, Zhou Xing looked at the list with great anticipation, but he couldn't find his name. It turned out that his test paper was replaced with a blank one. Just when he was desperate, Ling Xue dragged her injured leg and climbed over the wall to deliver the copied test questions.

It turned out that Ling Xue's ankle was cut by the golden cage when she was stealing test questions in the imperial study to help Zhou Xing. Zhou Xing was moved when he saw Ling Xue's bloodstained silk handkerchief.

Later, Ling Xue was punished to copy the "Female Commandments" a hundred times. Zhou Xing felt so distressed that he played chess with her through the window every day until dawn. On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces crisscrossed, just like their difficult situation in this palace.

One day, it rained heavily. Zhou Xing found someone tampering with the "Shui Jing Zhu" in the library. He grabbed the hand of the son of the Minister of Revenue on the spot. However, this scene was seen by Ling Xue. In order to protect Zhou Xing, Ling Xue put a hairpin against her throat and forced everyone to retreat.

The Northern Di invaded, and the Third Prince was trapped at Yanmen Pass. Zhou Xing volunteered to escort the grain. When Ling Xue learned about it, she tied her own black iron dagger to his hilt.

On the battlefield, swords and guns are blind. Zhou Xing was hit by a stray arrow and was in critical condition. Ling Xue was extremely anxious. She tore open the hem of Baidie's skirt to bandage his wound. The bloodstains soaked through the silk embroidered with Qingluan, as if a pair of lotus flowers had bloomed. On the night when the victory news came, Zhou Xing finished carving the 3,000th word "snow" in the tent. At this time, Ling Xue came into the tent with a glass lantern. The firelight illuminated the scar on her collarbone, which was left when she blocked the assassin for him.

As the battle for the throne arose, Zhou Xing used his wisdom to crack the imperial examination fraud case. However, he burned all the evidence in public just to protect Ling Xue's brother. When the fire stick fell, it burned the back of his hand, but he didn't care.

When the news that Ling Xue was to be married to the crown prince came, Zhou Xing's heart was broken. On the wedding day, he stopped the sedan chair and handed over the broken hairpin. Ling Xue threw out the hand warmer, and the hot copper bulb burned a lotus pattern on the bluestone slab.

After the prince died suddenly, Zhou Xing, under the stigma of being a "flatterer", thoroughly investigated the Imperial Hospital. Ling Xue found the poison residue he had swallowed in the corner of the cold palace. The two of them held hands across the prison door, and their determined eyes seemed to tell each other that no matter what the road ahead was, they would go on together.

The new emperor ascended the throne and purged the rebels. Zhou Xing took Ling Xue away from the capital. In the thatched cottage at the foot of the snowy mountain, they used the roar of a tiger to cover the sound of coughing up blood. The star flower picked by Ling Xue rolled in the medicine jar.

The children were playing and chasing each other in the yard, using broken hairpins to make swords, and using the remaining gold from the phoenix crown to repair the leaky hut. When Zhou Xing was teaching his eldest son to write the word "snow", Ling Xue suddenly coughed up blood foam mixed with ice.

Before she died, Ling Xue pointed to the plum tree in full bloom outside the hut and said weakly, "Bury me on the highest branch." Zhou Xing held her gradually cooling body and climbed up the cliff in the snow. When he looked back, the old branches that had been broken by the snow fell into the abyss with a loud bang, as if taking away all the pain and suffering.

The story of Zhou Xing and Ling Xue is like the plum blossoms on the cold branches, blooming in the wind and snow. Although they have gone through hardships, they still exude a faint fragrance. They have left a legendary love story in the long river of time.

On the ruins of the Seventh Legion, a new flag embroidered with a gray wolf and a white falcon was raised. Zhou Xing pinned the dean's badge on Ling Xue's sleeve and said affectionately: "Now it's our turn to rewrite history."

However, there are still shadows stirring in the depths of the universe. Ling Xue stroked the secret key groove exposed by the core of "Canglang" and smiled to Zhou Xing: "Next time we fight side by side, don't let me see the dean running away." The two smiled at each other. In the future interstellar journey, they will work hand in hand to write a new legend.

Winter is coming, and the wind is biting. Ling Xue was placed in a simple house, which is not as beautiful as the garden, but it is also quiet. Zhou Xing often visits Ling Xue without telling his family, and brings her some warm clothes and food.

On this day, heavy snow fell from the sky. Zhou Xing stepped into Ling Xue's room despite the cold weather. Ling Xue was sitting by the window, staring at the snow outside in a daze. When she saw Zhou Xing, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes.

"Third Young Master, why are you here? It's very cold outside." Ling Xue hurriedly went to greet him.

Zhou Xing held her hand and said, "I'm here to bring you something. The weather is cold, so you must keep warm." As he spoke, he took out a thick scarf from his arms and gently wrapped it around Ling Xue's neck.

Ling Xue was so moved that tears welled up in her eyes: "Third Master, you are so kind to Xue'er."

Zhou Xing wiped away her tears: "You are the person I care about most in this world, so I must treat you well."

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside the door. It turned out to be the maid Zhou Wentai sent to monitor Ling Xue. The maid saw Zhou Xing here and hurried to report.

Soon, Zhou Wentai came angrily.

"Zhou Xing! How dare you meet the gardener in private! Do you want to bring shame to our Prime Minister's Mansion?" Zhou Wentai scolded.

Zhou Xing was not afraid: "Father, Ling Xue and I are truly in love. I don't want to give up on her."

Zhou Wentai was so angry that he was shaking all over. "No! I have arranged a marriage for you, with the daughter of the Shangshu family. This marriage concerns the reputation and future of our Prime Minister's Mansion. If you still insist on not changing your ways, don't blame me for being rude!"

Zhou Xing's eyes widened: "What? Father, how can you do this? I already have someone I love, and I will never marry anyone else!"

Zhou Wentai was furious: "This matter has no say for you! If you continue to have contact with this gardener, I will drive her out of the capital!" After saying that, he left angrily with his servants.

Ling Xue looked at Zhou Xing in horror: "Third Master, I don't want to drag you down."

Zhou Xing hugged her: "No, I won't let you leave me. No matter who tries to stop me, I won't let go of your hand."

As the wedding date approaches, Zhou Xing becomes more and more anxious. He knows he must find a way to resolve this crisis. He starts running around, seeking help from relatives and friends. However, most people do not understand and oppose his love with Ling Xue.

By chance, Zhou Xing learned that there was an old man living in seclusion in the mountains outside the city. It was said that this old man was very wise and might be able to give him some advice. So Zhou Xing decided to go to the mountains to look for this old man.

Before leaving, he came to Ling Xue's residence without telling anyone.

"Ling Xue, I have to go out for a while. Don't worry, I will come back to find you. No matter how difficult it is, I will not give up our love." Zhou Xing said firmly.

Ling Xue burst into tears: "Third Master, you must take care of yourself."

Zhou Xing set out on the road to the mountains. Along the way, he slept in the open and experienced hardships. Finally, in a deep valley, he found the old man's residence. The old man was a white-haired old man with a kind face.

"Young man, why are you here?" the old man asked.

Zhou Xing told the old man everything that had happened to him and begged him to give him some advice.
