At the gate of the city lord's mansion, Gardenia said calmly to the gatekeeper: "Please go and call someone who can make the decision?"
The guard guarding the gate didn't recognize Gardenia, but he recognized the horse on which Gardenia sat. He didn't dare to be careless and ran towards the mansion. After a while, Wang Yang ran out.
"Your Majesty——." There was a soft call, and he couldn't help but help him get off the horse with eagerness.
Gardenia also dismounted and said, "Don't worry, the prince is safe and will wake up."
Wang Yang looked at Gardenia and felt that she looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen her before. Gardenia took the horse and said, "Qing'er, I'm leaving. Goodbye."
The horse neighed loudly, seeming to be reluctant to give up.
Cai'er suddenly flew out and stood on Gardenia's shoulders. Gardenia bowed towards Wang Yang and said, "The daughter of the people takes her leave."
Wang Yang looked blankly at this special woman in front of him. His calm tone and gentle turn made people have to pay attention to him, and he watched her go away. It took him a long time to think of sending Ling Jiyun back to his room.
Walking through the familiar streets and passing by pedestrians, I was about to get married, but I felt countless loneliness in my heart. I listened to my mother's advice to get married and have children, but I wanted to go back to the Lost Forest to be with Cai'er and Lu'er.
Living with Xiaodangjia and the others, my mother must have worried too much. With them, Gardenia didn't feel lonely at all.
When passing by the Yang Mansion, he saw Mr. Yang coming out of the sedan with a big belly, and the family court respectfully gestured to invite him in. He was slightly relieved, even if Ling Jiyun knew that Mr. Yang and the young lady had deceived him, human nature
Being kind, he let them go, that's fine.
Not far away, a hawker who worked during the day was preparing to close his stall. The whole family gathered around him and saw the sweet smile on his face, which was full of happiness. Are you and your third brother happy? Although you are at a loss now, but you
I agreed, and I will try my best to play this role well. Knowing what she wanted, Gardenia packed up her mood and walked towards her home where she had been away for three months.
From a distance, she saw Xiao San'er standing at the door of her house. Gardenia was a little touched. It turned out that there were still people in this world who were thinking about her. She raised a faint smile and quickened her pace with the baggage in her hands tightly.
Seeing Gardenia come back, the anxiety on Xiaosan's face softened into joy. Xiaoling'er came out of the house and saw Gardenia. She hurriedly greeted her, took her hand and said, "Gardenia, you are back."
, if you don’t come back, my third brother’s neck will probably be broken.”
Hearing what Xiao Ling'er said, Gardenia looked at her third brother and saw that he was shy and at a loss. This honest man may be worthy of being entrusted to him for the rest of his life.
Xiao San'er endured her excitement and walked forward and said, "Zhi Niang, you are tired. Come in and have a rest." After saying that, he picked up the baggage in Gardenia's hand and opened the door.
The house is simple and clean, just as it was when we left, not like it was unoccupied in March.
Xiao Ling'er smiled and said: "You don't know, after you left, the third brother came to clean up every now and then."
The mistress scratched her head in embarrassment and said with a red face: "You sit down first and I'll get you a bowl of water."
Seeing his shy look, Xiao Ling'er laughed loudly. Gardenia stopped her and said, "Okay, stop laughing at my third brother."
"What do you mean? I haven't even passed the door yet, and I'm already protecting the food."
"You still said it, you still said it." Gardenia turned around and ignored her dress.
Xiao Ling'er said: "Okay, okay, don't be angry. Isn't it okay if I don't say anything?"
The mistress stood outside the door holding water with a bright smile on her face.
The night is strangely quiet, and the sky is filled with layers of light mist, quietly nourishing the flowers, plants and trees on the earth. They grow at night, bloom at night, and bear fruit at night. Everything is so natural.
Ling Jiyun moved, and Wang Yang and Lian Ruoyi who were guarding him were so surprised that they couldn't move their eyes away.
He slowly opened his eyes, and it became clear after the confusion. Gardenia didn't lie to him, as long as she got out of the forest, she could see the light again.
"My lord, you are finally awake." Although Ling Jiyun had a cold face, Wang Yang still said with a smile.
"That's great, Yun, you finally woke up, you worried me to death." Lian Ruoyi cried excitedly.
Ling Jiyun seemed to remember something, stood up suddenly and asked: "Where is Gardenia? Where is Gardenia?"
Wang Yang didn't know how to answer this sudden question. He just said: "Sir, who are you talking about?"
Judging from Wang Yang's expression, he must not know what happened to Gardenia, so he muttered to himself: "Damn woman, how dare you tease me over and over again.
"Yun, what's wrong with you? Who is Gardenia?" Lian Ruoyi asked earnestly, unable to stop being nervous. When he woke up, his first reaction was to ask other women instead of looking at her.
Ling Jiyun's eyes softened, "Ruoyi, why are you here?"
Finally seeing herself, Lian Ruoyi smiled and said: "Yun, I'm worried about you, so I've been staying here with you."
"Fool, I'm fine. You're not feeling well. Go back and rest quickly."
Listening to his whispers, the chilled heart slowly warmed up. Lian Ruoyi stood up and said, "Okay, don't worry, I'll go back and rest." After saying that, he reluctantly left the room.
Wang Yang closed the door, then walked to the bed and said, "Sir, where have you been for more than a month? My subordinates sent people to look for you everywhere, but they couldn't find you."
Ling Jiyun lifted up the quilt and stood up and said, "I was plotted and fell into the river."
"What? A plot, is it possible..."
Ling Jiyun raised his hand to interrupt him: "Be careful, walls have ears."
He poured himself a cup of tea and said, "Has anything big happened in the past month or so?"
Wang Yang said: "Since I disappeared, His Highness the Crown Prince and his subordinates were searching for him at first, but half a month ago, the Emperor suddenly ordered him to return to Aoran City."
"Hurry up and write a letter, and have the news that the king is fine be sent to Aoran City quickly."
"Yes, I will go right away."
After Wang Yang left, Ling Jiyun opened the window, and a layer of mist came gently to his face. He looked up at the sky, looking at the pale whiteness appearing in the east, and closed his eyes. For a long time, he could not hear the voice he wanted to hear.
, he opened his eyes in disappointment, feeling uneasy in his heart. What was he looking forward to? Listening to the sunrise?
