Xuexiang just went out and brought a heater in, which added some warmth to the room.
Yaxu Garden——
Gardenia was not sleepy but was very tired and slept until lunch. Leyin kept watch in the room, fearing that something would happen to her again. Seeing that she was awake, she was very happy: "Master, you are awake, do you want to get up now?"
?The slave will wait for you to wash up first."
Blinking his sleepy eyes, he asked softly: "What time is it now?"
Helping her to sit up, Leyin said: "It's just past noon."
When did I become so sleepy?
After cleaning himself up briefly and sitting in front of the dressing table, Fang recalled something: "Leyin, are the guests in the guest room still there?"
He tied the ribbon for her and said, "Here you are, I got up very early."
Gardenia was a little confused. His injuries were almost healed. Ling Jiyun hadn't paid attention to him yet. It was a good time to escape. What was he waiting for?
As she stood up and walked towards the guest room, Leyin stopped her and said, "Master, don't you want to order some food?"
He stopped, started and said, "No, I'm not hungry."
Looking at her back as she turned around the threshold, she pouted and worried: "You haven't eaten anything all day and night, how can you not be hungry?"
The tree trunks and branches in the yard were tightly covered with a thick layer of white snow. The sunlight shone down and became crystal clear, creating a unique scene. Ling Jijie stood by the window, raised the corners of his lips, and spoke carefully.
appreciation.
The door behind him was pushed open, and the voice he had been waiting for all morning finally sounded: "Why don't you leave?"
Turning his head, he arched his eyebrows and said with a smile, "I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for me?" Gardenia stepped across the threshold and said, "Do you want to say goodbye to me?"
Ling Jijie shrugged, thought for a moment and said, "So be it."
"Risk your life at any time and wait here to say goodbye to me? It really seems like the style of the second prince." Gardenia smiled faintly, walked up to him and said.
Ling Jijie knocked on his forehead gently, looked into those wide eyes and said, "Can you please stop calling me Second Prince? In comparison, I would rather you call me Brother Ling." He felt that
It's like there is a wide, impassable river between the two of them.
Gardenia was slightly startled and said, "Okay, Brother Ling, please leave quickly. Gardenia can heal your injuries, but it can't save your life."
"Alas——." Ling Jijie sighed: "I messed up the matter that the emperor brother told me, and the fourth brother will never let me go. In the whole world, I don't know where to stay. I want to
It’s really sad to think about it.”
Gardenia thought for a while and said, "There is a small village outside the border city, and there is a shortage of a teacher there." When she lived there, she heard from the villagers that the schools in the city were too expensive and they couldn't afford to go to school.
Ling Jijie walked to the window with a slight smile, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, will we meet again?"
"Everything depends on God's will. Gardenia will let it happen."
There was tenderness in his eyes, and he was a little reluctant to give up. He cupped his hands and said softly: "Take care and say goodbye."
Watching him off with a smile, he jumped out of the window and disappeared under the wall.
If he let Ling Jijie go without permission, Ling Jiyun would definitely be furious. When he thought about it, he could even feel the chill emanating from his body when he was angry.
Returning to the house, Leyin was still waiting there, "Master, I have heated up the food, please eat it quickly."
Unable to bear to refuse Leyin's kindness, Gardenia sat at the table and reluctantly ate something.
"Master, please eat more." Seeing that Gardenia was using less, Yueyin urged her.
Gardenia waved her hand and said: "That's enough, Leyin, I really can't use it any more. You can take it all off. I'm tired and want to take a rest."
Unable to resist, Leyin had no choice but to pack it up and throw it out.
I miss my master a little. I wonder where he is wandering in the clouds at this time, but does he miss her? Recalling the days in the Lost Forest with the master, Gardenia's distressed face has a faint smile.
There was a burst of noise from outside the courtyard, and Gardenia sighed. What is supposed to come will always come, and there is no way to avoid it. After exiting the door, she saw Situ Ling and several guards, standing proudly in the courtyard.
He stood aside with his head bowed, not daring to speak.
"Mother Hua Zhi, you are so brave, you actually rescued the enemy and the thieves privately. Don't think that because the city lord favors you, I don't dare to do anything to you. Don't forget, I am his master and have the right to deal with you." Situ Ling
He raised his thick eyebrows with a proud look on his face. Although Ling Jiyun was not staying with Lu Xinlan at this time, after all, Hua Zhiniang was left out, and he was very happy to see this situation.
Gardenia turned around, walked to the table in the yard, picked up a handful of snow, held it in her hand, and said calmly: "To his second prince, you are also an enemy and a thief."
"You -, you speak for him, do you feel that the prince has neglected you and you have to find a new supporter, and you can't wait to throw yourself into his arms?" Situ Ling looked at Gardenia with contempt and said neither salty nor coldly.
Say something like this.
Speaking of Ling Jiyun, Gardenia's heart seemed to be extremely cold. She looked directly into Situ Ling's eyes, walked closer to him step by step, and sneered: "I didn't expect that a great master would say such a thing to a woman like Gardenia."
If your shameful words are spread, won't everyone in the world laugh at you?"
"You dare to teach me a lesson." Situ Ling raised his thumb and said: "Okay, okay, even the city lord respects someone, you dare to teach me a lesson, Hua Zhiniang, I think you are really tired of living, come here,
Get her for me."
"yes--."
"etc--."
Hearing the sound and looking around, he saw that the figure he hadn't seen for a few days was so haggard. He couldn't help but feel sour in his heart. It turned out that it wasn't just for himself, but also for Zoey, maybe for anyone. He staggered back and looked away from the mist that was gathering.
Eyes.
"Jiyun, she let go of the enemy's key criminal, are you going to let her go?" Situ Ling felt that at this time, he should light a fire to confirm Ling Jiyun's determination.
Ling Jiyun walked behind Gardenia and heard the snapping of knuckles in the air. He was really furious.
Wang Yang knelt down on the ground with a bang, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me for letting the Second Prince go. My subordinates also have a share. Please, Your Majesty, let Miss Gardenia go."
He suddenly looked back, looked at Wang Yang complicatedly, and said, "Brother Wang, why are you doing this? One person is responsible for the other, and Gardenia doesn't even bother to accept this favor from you."
Knowing that she was trying to excuse himself, Wang Yang said: "Gardenia, you——."
"That's enough——." With an angry roar, Ling Jiyun said loudly: "Drag Wang Yang down and beat him with thirty military sticks."
"Yes, City Lord." Two soldiers came up and held up Wang Yang before leaving.
Gardenia strode forward and stood in front of him. She knew what thirty military sticks meant. Even if she was angry, she couldn't take Wang Yang's life for granted. "Your Majesty, this matter has nothing to do with General Wang. Why are you embarrassing an innocent man?"
