He turned slightly sideways and walked away sadly. All he could do now, feeling ashamed, was to leave and escape.
It was already the third watch, and because of Ling Jiyun's return, the house was as busy as daytime.
The mist, as light as a gauze, moistens every plant and tree in a gray mist. You can reach out and feel the wetness.
Her chest felt uncomfortable and her nose felt sour. She raised her head slightly and looked at the corridor light. She was as stubborn as she was and couldn't let herself cry. She took a deep breath to block the sourness in her heart.
A soft call came from behind: "Gardenia, are you okay?"
Looking back, he smiled calmly, hiding his sadness in the fog, and said, "Brother Feng, why are you here?"
He had seen what happened just now. He had been following her for a long time. If he didn't say anything, he might never notice her. Understanding her mood at the moment, he stepped forward and hugged her gently, and said heartbrokenly: "Gardenia.
, If you want to cry, just cry, Brother Feng doesn’t want you to deliberately suppress yourself.”
When she encountered a trace of concern, no matter how tenacious she was, she would suddenly collapse. Her low tears could not hide her sadness at the moment. Gardenia still held back her sobs, looked up at Feng Qing, and said with a forced smile with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, Feng
Brother, Gardenia is not sad."
He gently wiped away the tears on her face, held her hand and said, "Let's go, I'll take you back to Yaxu Garden."
On the other side of the corridor, Ling Jiyun stood there in a daze. The scene just now was enough to ignite the anger in his chest. The clenched fists in his wide sleeves expressed his anger and unwillingness at this moment.
Lian Ruoyi gently took Ling Jiyun's arm and said with a smile: "Yun, I think Feng Qing seems to be interested in Gardenia, why don't I go and point it out and fulfill their good deeds."
Then he lowered his face, looked at Lian Ruoyi's kind face, and said unhappily: "You are not in good health, so don't worry about other people's affairs."
Hearing his unhappiness, Lian Ruoyi looked at him inexplicably. Ling Jiyun continued: "Xuexiang, send the lady back to her room to rest." He took the arm she held and said to Wang Yang: "Go to the study.
"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Watching the two people leaving, Lian Ruoyi stood there in a daze and said sadly: "Xuexiang, did I say something wrong?"
Xuexiang stepped forward to support her and said, "Miss, stop thinking about it. The prince must be too tired. Let's go back to the room."
Outside the Yaxu Garden, Gardenia raised her head, her dull eyes made Yue Qing heartbroken.
Pretending to be relaxed, he smiled softly: "Brother Feng, thank you for sending me back. Dawn is approaching, please go back and rest."
Knowing that Gardenia didn't want her to worry, she said with a sensible look: "Okay, you go in, I'll come visit you when I have time."
Gardenia opened the courtyard door sideways and stepped into the threshold with her front feet. Feng Qing called out urgently: "Gardenia."
Stopping, looking back with a smile, Feng Qing said: "Good night."
"Good night."
The courtyard door finally closed, Feng Qing sighed, turned around and left sadly.
The exposure is deeper, there is a hint of coolness in the air, and the mist sticks wetly to the face, which is a bit cold.
Gardenia leaned against the courtyard door for a while before she walked up to the room. As soon as she opened the door, she was pulled into her arms by a flashing shadow. The warmth was still the same, but her mood had changed.
"Why did it take you so long to come in? You made me wait for a long time." Ling Jiyun complained in a magnetic voice: "No other man is allowed to hug you in the future, and no other man is allowed to wipe your tears, let alone
You can cry and laugh at other men."
Gardenia didn't say a word, but listened to his domineering response to the situation he discovered. The clothes on his chest were still wet, the traces of Lian Ruoyi's tears of joy just now. She pushed him away, tears falling on the back of her hands.
"Gardenia, what's wrong with you?" Looking at Gardenia full of tears, Ling Jiyun was at a loss.
I grabbed his hand tightly and really grabbed it, but why did the person in front of me still feel so far away? Looking into his deep eyes, I asked a question that I wanted to escape but always had to face: "
Husband, will you love me forever like a father and a mother?"
Ling Jiyun nodded without hesitation, and Gardenia asked again: "How to love? Should you give half of your love for Miss Lian to Gardenia? Or let Gardenia share a husband with all the concubines in the mansion?"
Ling Jiyun couldn't bear it anymore. He had no face to face such a Gardenia. He was not an ordinary man, and he did not dare to make any guarantees to her before making a promise. He took back Gardenia's hand thoughtfully.
He held up his hand, looked into those eyes as clear as springs, and said, "You said you weren't greedy."
Recalling what she said in the air on the cliff, Gardenia nodded without denying it and said: "Gardenia is not greedy, so she said it would be nice to meet her. But now Gardenia is just a very ordinary woman."
Not knowing how to answer and avoiding the question, Ling Jiyun walked to the door and stood still, saying: "It's almost dawn, let's rest."
"Your Majesty." Gardenia said, but Ling Jiyun did not dare to stop and said, "If Your Majesty doesn't know what to do, Gardenia will not make it difficult for you."
He took out a purple leaf from his arms and watched Ling Jiyun disappear from sight.
