The night has already fallen deep, and it is so quiet that you can hear the sounds of grass growing and flowers blooming.
After leaving the horse yard, two long shadows were trailing on the path. Neither of them spoke to each other, each thinking about their own thoughts.
Gardenia wanted to go back to Yaxu Garden as soon as possible, but she was in a hurry when she came out and didn't remember the direction at all. At this time, there was no one else around except Ling Jiyun, so she could only reluctantly say:
"Your Majesty."
Ling Jiyun thought to himself, and finally he was willing to speak, saying, "What's the matter?"
Gardenia stopped, lowered her eyes and said calmly: "I'm lost."
Ling Jiyun resisted the urge to laugh and said, "I want this king to send you back to Yaxu Garden."
His tone was extremely ambiguous, and Gardenia felt a chill in her heart when she heard it, and said, "Then there's no need to trouble the prince, you just need to tell me how to get there."
Ling Jiyun crossed to her, raised her chin and said, "You didn't say that because you wanted me to go to Yaxu Garden tonight, did you?"
After slapping his hand away, Gardenia said loudly and unceremoniously: "My lord, please respect yourself. If you don't want to tell Gardenia, forget it. Why should you speak lightly?" Looking at the face that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, she continued: "
The daughter of the people doesn't believe it. Without the prince, she can't find her way back."
Passing by him, the fragrance of Gardenia's medicine was particularly enticing. Ling Jiyun stepped forward, took her hand and walked in the opposite direction, saying, "Wrong, this way."
Gardenia glanced at him in confusion, thinking how could she be so kind? "My lord, let go, the daughter of the people will follow you."
Ling Jiyun seemed not to hear, but still held on tightly. Gardenia knew that he couldn't struggle to get away if he didn't want to let her go. The Ling Jiyun in front of her was no longer blind.
There was silence all the way to the gate of Yaxu Garden. Gardenia finally shook off his hand and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty. Please come back." She locked Ling Jiyun outside the courtyard and said goodbye to the moon that was still hanging on the treetops.
Walk towards the room.
Opening the door and lighting the lamp, the dark room suddenly became brighter. She breathed a sigh of relief and turned slightly, only to see Ling Jiyun lying on the bed, with a pair of enchanting eyes glowing with a faint light. Gardenia was really frightened.
After a jump, his eyes inadvertently glanced at the open window, and everything became clear. He calmed down and said, "Your Majesty, it's already late at night. If you don't leave, people will see you and cause gossip."
Ling Jiyun stood up, her silver robe slipped to the ground, and walked straight towards Gardenia. Gardenia turned to the side of the table and said, "Does the prince have to scare the women of the people? If so, the women of the people are indeed frightened, please ask the prince
…….”
Before she could finish speaking, her body had already been hugged into a warm embrace. She felt ashamed and angry, and wanted to break away. An ambiguous whisper came into her ear: "Tonight is your wedding night."
Gardenia sighed and said, "But the groom is not you, the prince."
He picked up Gardenia and walked towards the bed, saying, "It doesn't matter, I am willing to take care of the groom's duties."
As soon as the sound fell, Gardenia was already covering her body. Knowing that she couldn't escape, Gardenia was relieved. She let him untie her clothes and said indifferently: "Your Majesty, do the girls of the people owe you anything?"
He buried his head in her hair, sucked in her breath, and whispered domineeringly: "When you meet me, you are destined to be mine."
The wind of the palm extinguished the lights on the table, and the darkness filled the room with warmth. The moonlight shone in from the window, twinkling stars.
When I woke up the next day, I had already been exposed to the sun for three hours, which was rare for me to get up late.
There was nothing around her, Gardenia was lying on the bed, recalling the night of love, with a blind look on her face, what had she done?
In the cage on the table, Cai'er stood quietly. It was unusually quiet. Thinking that something had happened to it, she turned over to the table. Looking at Cai'er who had no energy, she felt guilty for a while, if it hadn't been for herself.
Careless, Cai'er won't be trapped in a cage and lose her freedom, she has to cure Lian Ruoyi's disease quickly.
After packing up and opening the door, he remembered that he had not done anything. When he thought about it further, he saw Wang Yang walking over and saying, "Zhi Niang, the prince has asked me to let you pass."
"What's wrong?" Gardenia asked.
"It seems that there is something wrong with the medicine that the maid prepared, and the miracle doctor Feng Qing can't figure out why."
Gardenia said: "Let's go and have a look."
The city lord's mansion is a rare luxury. Everywhere you go is undoubtedly pavilions, bridges and flowing water. The maids coming and going are shuttled in the mansion, their expressions are extremely proud.
When they arrived at the entrance of Luyi Garden, Fengqing came out and pulled Gardenia aside and said, "Gardenia, be careful when you go in soon, Jiyun is getting angry."
Angry? Why are you angry? Could it be that you have done something wrong? Seeing Yue Qing's worried face, Gardenia felt grateful and said with a smile: "Brother Feng, don't worry, just go in."
After entering the room, they saw Lian Ruoyi lying on the bed, the maid kneeling on the floor, and Ling Jiyun sitting by the bed with a cold face.
Gardenia curled up slightly and said, "Your Majesty."
Ling Jiyun tossed his robe, rushed up and said angrily: "Look at the medicine I gave Zoe, how come it changes color all of a sudden?"
She didn't expect him to retain the tenderness from last night, nor did she expect to see any more tenderness from him. Although she had already prepared herself mentally, when she saw his angry face and words in front of her, her body still felt slightly cold. Her heart felt cold.
Smiling bitterly, laughing at myself for being so pitiful, laughing at myself for igniting a glimmer of hope that I shouldn't have, day after day, day after day, haha, speechless.
She walked past him indifferently, picked up the medicine bowl on the table, walked to the bed and said, "Miss Lian, do you think Gardenia will harm you?"
For a person whom she had met only a few times and spoken to only a few words, Lian Ruoyi was stunned by her question and cast a troubled look at Ling Jiyun.
Ling Jiyun immediately came over and said, "What do you mean?"
"Not to mention that Gardenia and Miss Lian have no grievances and no enmity in the past. Now that Cai'er is still in the hands of the prince, does Gardenia dare to harm Miss Lian? This blue fruit is a holy product in medicine. If there was no such blue fruit a few days ago,
Guo, I'm afraid that the prince is still blind now." The maid handed the medicine aside, stared at Ling Jiyun and said: "If the prince doesn't believe in Gardenia, Gardenia is willing to let Cai'er lose her freedom forever, and she will take Cai'er away.
.”
"How dare you threaten me?"
He turned away from his sharp gaze and said: "Your Majesty, you can make your own decision. Gardenia still has things to go out for." She didn't want to stay in this room for another moment. That would be an insult to herself. She never talked to him, no matter what.
He has the right to be right or wrong, so why bother, asking for trouble.
As soon as she came out of Luyiyuan, Fengqing followed her out and called out to her: "Zhi Niang, you are really courageous, you know? No one in the border town dared to talk to Jiyun like this."
Gardenia walked and said, "Brother Feng, why did you say this? Gardenia has no intention of harming others, so why should you be afraid of him? If so, wouldn't you be being unreasonable?"
Feng Qing nodded thoughtfully and said: "That makes sense, that makes sense. You just said you had something to do. Where are you going? Can I go?"
Gardenia smiled, wondering why Feng Qing looked so childish, and said, "Zang Qing was beaten by the prince. I'm going out of the city to pick some sweet leaves in the countryside. If you don't mind, let's come together."
As a doctor, Feng Qing should know what sweet leaves are and said: "Okay."
