In Yaxu Garden, Yueyin had not rested since the day Gardenia disappeared. She had been waiting in the yard, praying to God to take pity on her life and allow Gardenia to come back suddenly and safely.
Finally, she heard the footsteps in the yard. Fortunately, Gardenia suddenly came back. She rushed to the door, but she didn't expect to meet the person who was not Gardenia, but the city lord Ling Jiyun who hadn't appeared for half a month.
Le Yin was so embarrassed that he knelt on the ground, hoping that he could give him a happier death.
Calling him to stop, he immediately stepped into the inner room, trembling and leaning on the ground: "Your Majesty, this slave deserves to die, the master is not in the room."
His heart was filled with anxiety, but he still rushed in. After a while, he came out with an already intimidating face, which was now livid, and he roared at Leyin: "Where are the people?"
Leyin was so frightened that her heart seemed to have stopped beating, and her tears couldn't stop falling down. She cried and said, "This slave deserves to die. That day, the master said he was going out to do something, but he didn't let the slave follow him. As a result, he never came back after leaving."
"When will you leave the house?" The fist rang loudly, and when she finished her reply, she would be cut into pieces.
There was an angry aura surrounding Yueyin, and she felt that her next words were her last words, "Go back to the prince, the master left the house three days ago." After saying that, she closed her eyes tightly and waited for Ling Jiyun.
wrathful punishment.
Ling Jiyun was about to draw his sword when Song Bo knelt on the ground, cupped his hands and begged: "Your Majesty, for the sake of Leyin serving Miss Gardenia for so long, please spare her life first. Now it is important to find Miss Gardenia. Please
Give me some grace and wait until Miss Gardenia comes back before punishing Leyin."
He closed the scabbard, glared at Leyin with a pair of angry eyes that wanted to burst out of fire, and strode away. Leyin felt as if his soul had left his body, and then he fainted.
After waking up and seeing Ling Jijie that day, he seemed to have disappeared and never appeared in front of Gardenia Niang again. Gardenia didn't bother to care about what he planned for herself and just started making clothes for Ling Jiyun.
Come.
Cai'er still parked obediently next to Gardenia, like a child, tilting her little head from time to time, or calling softly.
As soon as the needle was inserted, I heard the voice that I had not seen for several days: "As expected of Miss Gardenia, you are able to deal with this dilemma so freely. I have to admire your calmness again."
As if she was frightened, Cai'er ran to the beam and stopped between the pillars. The moment she fluttered her wings, Ling Jijie's eyes flashed, and there was a hint of surprise on his face.
Gardenia thought to herself that it was not good. The next moment, she saw Ling Jijie leaping up and reaching out to Cai'er in the pillars. Gardenia took out the needles in her arms and flew towards Ling Jijie.
, just as he was about to touch Cai'er, Ling Jijie's hand was scratched by the flying needle shot by Gardenia Niang. Although there was no bleeding, the skin was scratched.
Falling to the ground, Cai'er had already flown out of the window and disappeared. Ling Jijie once again cast a stunned look and asked in surprise: "You know martial arts?"
Gardenia remained silent and turned sideways to look out the window. Cai'er must have flown back to the city lord's mansion.
Ling Jijie continued: "It seems that I really underestimated you."
Gardenia opened her lips lightly and asked, "Did the Second Prince come here specifically to tell Gardenia this?"
Rubbing his injured hand, Ling Jijie said: "Ling Jiyun has returned to the city, and now he is looking for you like crazy."
His heart twisted, he frowned slightly, and said softly: "Aren't you afraid that he will find this place? This is a border town, not the proud city of you and the eldest prince. Based on your understanding of his temper, do you think you still have a chance to survive?
"
"Indeed, I didn't expect you to be so important in his heart. We originally arranged for you to go out of the city with us and return to Aoran City in the afternoon, but he suddenly came back. The security in the city is now even tighter, so our plan has to be changed.
.”
"So, you are like a turtle in a urn this time, there is no way to escape!" Gardenia sat on the stool again and picked up the needle and thread.
Ling Jijie raised an evil smile that was not inferior to that of Ling Jiyun, walked up to Gardenia, raised her chin, and said coldly: "That's not necessarily true, don't forget, Ling Jiyun's weakness is still there
Are you sewing here?"
She raised her eyes slightly and looked at the expression on his face that showed his plot was about to succeed. He didn't know what words to use to respond. He just raised the corners of his lips slightly and said lightly: "You are so pitiful."
He let go of his hand, straightened up, and sneered: "Poor? I think you are the one who is pitiful."
Suddenly a man came in at the door, raised his hands and said seriously: "Master, the courtyard has been surrounded by King Ji."
Ling Jijie sighed: "I didn't expect to find this place so quickly. It's Ling Jiyun as expected." He glanced at Gardenia and waved his hand towards the window. The two windows came together with a clang.
She turned to Gardenia and said, "Miss Gardenia, please stay upstairs and watch the great show in the yard."
Then he went out and was asked to lock the door.
Postmaster? Isn’t he the second prince? Why do people call him Postmaster? Gardenia put down her needlework nervously, stood in front of the window, and pushed and pushed the window hard, but in vain. She could only look through the gap between the window shuttles.
That healthy figure that has made me worried and scared for the past few days.
The cold wind blew by, taking away the last dead leaves on the trees in the yard. At this time, the light-bulging tree trunks were helplessly watching it leave.
Facing the courtyard door, Wang Yang said in surprise: "Your Majesty, he is out."
Ling Jiyun slowly turned around, looked at Ling Jijie walking out with a smile, cupped his hands and said, "The fourth brother's work efficiency has to put my brother to shame."
Ling Jiyun never thought of being so polite to him, so he said with a sullen face: "What is this? The fact that Brother Er Wang is actually the owner of Lianhe Tower really surprises my foolish brother."
"Oh——." Ling Jijie said: "I feel very honored to be able to surprise the fourth brother who has always been unruly and arrogant."
"Brother Er Wang came to the border town, and he didn't just come here to be polite to Brother Yu." Going straight to the point, he urgently needed to know whether Gardenia was safe now.
"I wanted to negotiate a good deal with the fourth brother, but the fourth brother's momentum on the battlefield was unstoppable, which inevitably caused the emperor to retreat in succession. I had no choice but to make this move."
With a sneer, Ling Jiyun said: "I didn't expect Brother Er Wang, who has always been just a spectator, to stand up for that foolish king. Compared with the fact that you are the master of Lianhe Tower, this is more surprising to my foolish brother. Where is Gardenia?"
"It seems that Miss Gardenia's position in the heart of the Fourth Prince is unshakable. Don't worry, even though she has never been married, she is still my brother's sister. How can I be willing to hurt her?"
"Tell me your conditions?" He didn't want to waste time anymore and be hypocritical with him.
"Sit in the border city, return the city, and never raise an army to rebel."
"Impossible——." Before Ling Jiyun spoke, Situ Ling led Feng Qing into the courtyard, followed by Lian Ruoyi and Lu Xinlan.
