"Xu'er..." The princess's eyes were filled with tears. She rubbed Ling Jing's face and choked: "My child, do you hate me?"
Ling Jing shook his head and said: "I don't hate it."
In fact, he had no reason to hate his own mother. After all, he was taken away by gangsters, not abandoned by his parents. With the princess's fragile body, how could she possibly stop that master, and she herself was also raped by that man?
He was beaten and tortured for nineteen years.
"My child, my child, mother has finally found you." The princess suddenly burst into tears, holding Ling Jing's shoulders trembling, and her tears quickly wet the front of Ling Jing's chest.
"Wang..." Ling Jing was a little uncomfortable with it. Although he and Ning Zhong were like mother and son, and had been teased by his mistress in his arms like this when he was a child, he had never seen him in nineteen years.
Having met his biological mother, he was still a little at a loss.
"Xu'er, can you please stay with me from now on? Mother owes you too much for leaving you alone and homeless, but mother and your father will definitely compensate you well." The princess raised her head and said.
Ling Jing frowned slightly and said: "I said you don't owe me anything, and I have my own path now. Princess, you don't have to blame yourself. What happened back then was all caused by another person.
I will definitely avenge this."
The princess looked sad and said sadly: "Xu'er, are you still unwilling to recognize me?"
The mother and son looked at each other, and Ling Jing subconsciously did not dare to look at her and said: "You are living well now, so I feel relieved. There is no need to recognize each other, and... and...
I'm also a little uncomfortable with it. I always thought I was an orphan and never thought I had parents."
"Of course you do." The princess said suddenly, and then sighed faintly: "But I won't force you. If you encounter any trouble, you must remember to come back to us."
Ling Jing nodded and said: "Princess, please take care of yourself. Although I have tried to resolve the sword energy in your body, your health is really bad. Remember to take good care of yourself."
He already had the intention to leave, while the princess looked at him reluctantly without letting go of her hand at all.
Ling Jing gave a bitter smile and said, "My dearest princess, I will definitely come to see you again."
The princess sighed and let go of her hand, but she didn't look back until Ling Jing walked out of the room.
"Second brother!"
As soon as Ling Jing went out, he heard someone shouting cutely in his ear.
"Um..." Ling Jing turned his head and saw a very pretty little girl looking at him, with a pair of big bright eyes full of curiosity.
This little girl looked very similar to the princess. Ling Jing guessed her identity immediately and said with a smile: "Princess Princess."
He raised his head and saw Zhu Junmi and another middle-aged man with a majestic face standing behind the princess. Knowing in his heart that this must be the King of Huai'an, he immediately clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince."
King Huai'an's palms trembled slightly, obviously feeling very uneasy. He smiled and said, "Xu'er, you... have you been doing well these past few years?"
Ling Jing was about to answer. Suddenly, a pair of pink arms held his arm, and then a little head came to him and said with a smile: "Second brother, why do you call me Princess, but not sister?"
?”
Ling Jing looked a little embarrassed, and both King Huai'an and Zhu Junmi couldn't help but laugh, but then they laughed bitterly, knowing that Ling Jing was still reluctant to recognize them, and he seemed very unfamiliar just by the name.
"Cough!" King Huai'an coughed lightly and said, "Wan'er, don't be ridiculous."
Zhu Waner made a face and said coquettishly: "What nonsense are you doing? If the second brother doesn't call me sister, then I won't let go." She hugged Ling Jing's arm tightly with both hands, with a coquettish expression.
"Princess, is your name Wan'er?" Ling Jing smiled helplessly, but facing his sister, what could he do? A hint of doting appeared on his face involuntarily.
"Yes, second brother, doesn't my name sound nice?" Wan'er smiled, revealing two cute little tiger teeth.
"Yeah, it's a nice name." Ling Jing nodded.
Wan'er was still a child after all. When she heard Ling Jing compliment her on her nice name, she immediately clapped her hands and jumped to her father's side, saying: "Father, my second brother praised me."
"Father, there is nothing wrong with your ears." King Huai'an touched his daughter's head and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, I still have something to do, so I won't disturb you any more. I'll take my leave." Ling Jing was still injured and felt a little tired after walking all the way, so he didn't want to stay any longer. Besides, he was not getting along with the people in the palace.
At that time, I still felt a sense of unfamiliarity and discomfort.
"Second brother, let's go after dinner." Zhu Junmi looked at his father's expression and then said.
"No, thank you." He didn't want to worry too much about the names of Zhu Junmi and others. Since they had already seen it, it didn't matter what they called them.
He cupped his hands, said goodbye and left the palace.
Wan'er pouted and looked at the second brother's leaving figure. She had prepared a lot of things to say to this second brother. Moreover, the second brother was so powerful in martial arts that she wanted to ask him to teach her swordsmanship.
I thought he left so quickly in the end.
"Father, please ask your second brother to move back and live with us. We are a family, shouldn't we live together?" Wan'er said.
The King of Huai'an smiled bitterly and said: "Your second brother doesn't seem to be used to getting along with us, so how can we force him? In short, we should take it step by step slowly."
Zhu Junmi nodded and said: "My second brother seems to be a bit stubborn. If I hadn't used my mother's name today, I'm afraid he wouldn't have come back with me. We can't push too hard, lest it backfires."
Wan'er stuck out her tongue and said, "It's so complicated." Suddenly she rolled her eyes and thought, since my second brother doesn't want to live in the palace, I can go find him to play by myself. Hehe, I'm really smart.
...
In the next few days, the capital city seemed to be calm.
Ling Jing was recuperating at home, and with Lianyi's careful care, his recovery was not slow. Moreover, the princess and the palace sent people to send many precious medicinal materials, and several groups of royal doctors even came to the palace to treat him in person.
Diagnosis and treatment.
At the same time, Yi Xiaolou, the master of Yizi Pavilion, and Tang Hao, the young marquis of Jilehou Mansion, were also recovering from their injuries. As for the other masters, there was no movement.
The younger generation among the top ten masters seemed to have all lost their voices after experiencing the Yinghua Banquet. For a while, many people in the capital were secretly surprised.
In a magnificent attic in the capital, Yi Xiaolou was leaning on the bed with his back, and a beautiful maid next to him was waiting for him to drink medicine.
"Brother, there's a letter from over there." Chen Qi was also in the room, standing a few steps in front of the bed, reporting the situation to Yi Xiaolou.
Yi Xiaolou had a thick bandage around his waist and looked a little unhappy. Hearing this, he raised his head, waved his hand to the maid to retreat, and said lightly: "What do you say over there."
Chen Qi smiled slightly and said: "Everything goes well, but let us not expose any flaws and just act according to the plan."
There was a glimmer in Yi Xiaolou's eyes, and he nodded, then frowned and said, "Where is that boy? Has there been any movement recently?"
Chen Qi laughed and said: "That boy didn't know how to live or die. He broke into the "Shengshi Gambling House" with Princess Jingzhu at night, but fell into the trap of the other party. Now he is seriously injured and is recovering."
"Are you seriously injured? That's not bad." Yi Xiaolou sneered, without any trace of despair on his face, and said: "This defeat at the hands of this boy is really the biggest shame in my life, Yi Xiaolou. However,
This revenge will have to be avenged sooner or later, and next time, I will definitely kill him with my own hands."
Chen Qi hesitated and said: "Senior brother, do we need to inform the master?" He was worried that his senior brother was not Ling Jing's opponent, but he always knew that this senior brother had a strong self-esteem, but he did not dare to say it openly.
Yi Xiaolou waved his hand and said with a smile: "Junior brother, did you receive this sword in vain as a senior brother? We martial arts students know our shame and then become brave. Thanks to this kid's sword, I was able to fight "nothing"
Hui Sword Technique "has realized a higher realm. Next time, I will definitely return the shame I suffered to him a thousand times."
His eyes showed coldness and he sneered.
Chen Qi was overjoyed when he heard this and said with a smile: "Congratulations, senior brother, we must trample that kid under our feet next time so that he will never be able to stand up again."
"It's natural."
...
In Jilehou Mansion, Yi Xiaolou entertained Li Qing, who came to visit, in the living room.
"Brother Li, you said that Brother Ling was seriously injured recently and had to stay at home to recuperate?" Tang Hao was quite surprised when he heard the news that Ling Jing was injured. He thought that with Brother Ling's martial arts, no one in the capital could hurt him.
There are not many people left.
"How dare I talk nonsense about this kind of thing?" Li Qing nodded, drank a glass of wine, and then said: "But Brother Ling was injured this time because he was ambushed by Han Yu's people, and it is said that Brother Ling was trying to save his life.
The princess got into a hard fight because of her escape, otherwise with his martial arts skills, he would not have been so seriously injured."
Tang Hao frowned slightly. Han Yu's party had now become the largest force in the court. Even the princes and ministers did not dare to provoke them at will. But how could Brother Ling be related to them, and how could the princess be involved?
Coming in?
"Brother Li, why can't I understand this matter so well? Brother Ling and Han Yu probably have nothing to do with each other." Tang Hao tapped his fingers on the table and said in deep thought.
"I don't know much about this." Li Qing actually only knew a rough idea. As for the various inside stories, I'm afraid only Ling Jing and the princess knew.
"Well. It's better than this. After I recover for two more days, the injury should be no big deal. Then we can go to visit Brother Ling together. If something really happens to Brother Ling, we can't just stand by and watch."
