This explanation only made Shuixiu even more confused, "What is the second young lady doing to commit suicide?"
"I don't know either. I feel like the second lady is acting very weird today." Shuiyue herself was confused.
Ling Ruo listened to them without saying a word. Yilan was indeed a little strange today. It was the same when he met her at the door of Yinzhen before. Her eye circles were still a little red. Could it be...
A terrible thought came to her mind inadvertently, causing her face to lose all color. Unable to stay still any longer, she hurried to Yilan's door. There was no sound of sobbing inside. But this only made Lingruo even more panicked.
Knocking on the door hard, "Lan'er, sister has something to tell you, please open the door!"
Seeing that Yilan refused to agree, he was afraid that she would do something stupid inside, so he ordered An'er to call Xiao Luzi and Chen Shu and ask them to prepare to break the door.
"One, two, three!" Chen Shu and Xiao Luzi nodded, and both of them rushed to the door with all their strength. Unexpectedly, Yilan opened the door just at this time. The two of them screamed, unable to hold back, and fell down together.
On the ground, they were grinning in pain.
Ling Ruo couldn't care less and took Yilan's hand. After looking carefully, she found that except for her eyes, which were as red and swollen as walnuts, there was nothing else.
Yilan glanced at the two people who had fallen into a gourd on the ground. She didn't understand why. She raised her head and said angrily: "Sister, what are you doing? I just want to be alone for a while."
, do you need someone to knock on the door? If my sister thinks that I am an eyesore here, I will just go back."
"That's not the case. Sister is also worried that you will do something stupid." After pulling Yilan into the house, Ling Ruo winked at Xiaoluzi who had just climbed up, and the latter immediately closed the door gently with understanding.
When there were only a few of them left in the room, Ling Ruofang said seriously: "Lan'er, tell sister, what happened? Why did you commit suicide?"
A trace of panic flashed across Yilan's face, she shook off Ling Ruo's hand and turned around, saying: "It's okay, nothing happened."
"Lan'er, you are my biological sister. Can't I tell if something is wrong?" Ling Ruo pulled her body hard, her eyes trembled slightly, and she said with difficulty: "Tell me, is it related to the prince?"
This sentence seemed to stimulate Yilan, and she suddenly became very excited. She held her head and screamed in pain, "I told you I don't know! Don't force me anymore, I don't know anything!"
Ling Ruo didn't expect her to have such a violent reaction. She was startled and wanted to comfort her, but Yilan was like a hedgehog, refusing to let anyone get close to her. She huddled up in the corner with tears streaming down her face, extremely worried.
It's pitiful.
"Okay, sister won't force you." Ling Ruo was afraid of irritating Yilan, so she had to slow down her voice, slowly approached her and said softly: "Lan'er, please get up first. The ground is cold. If you sit for a long time, you will get sick.
.”
Yilan looked up at her pitifully and slowly stood up, but never let go of her hands, as if she was afraid of something.
Seeing her like this, Ling Ruo felt heartbroken and asked Shui Xiu to pour a cup of hot tea and handed it to her, "Here, have a sip of tea."
Yilan hesitated for a long time before taking it. After drinking a few sips of warm tea, her mood seemed to have calmed down a lot. This time Lingruo did not dare to press any more and cautiously said, "Lan'er, can you tell me now?"
What happened? We are biological sisters. No matter what happens, my sister will bear it with you."
Hearing these words, Yilan's stopped tears fell again, like cool autumn rain, sad and beautiful. Without waiting for Ling Ruo to say anything else, she rushed forward and buried her head on Ling Ruo's shoulder and neck, crying loudly.
While crying, I kept saying sorry.
Ling Ruo patted her back to comfort her, and after the crying gradually stopped, she said, "You are my sister from the same mother, and no matter what you did wrong, you don't need to say sorry, you know?"
Yilan nodded movedly, and Ling Ruo wiped away the remaining tears on her face and said softly: "Can you tell sister what happened now?"
Yilan's body trembled slightly, like a frightened deer, she pursed her lips, and finally spoke in a low voice, "Last night, I stayed in the Longyun Kaiyue Pavilion to take care of the prince. The first half of the night was fine, but the second half of the night, the prince
I suddenly felt hot and my whole body felt terribly hot. I was very scared and didn’t know what to do. Later I saw water in the house and remembered that my sister said that wiping the body with water can cool down, so I used water to wipe the prince’s body.”
"Didn't I tell the prince to call me immediately if anything happened? Why didn't you tell me?" If Yilan hadn't mentioned it, Ling Ruo wouldn't have known that such a thing had happened last night.
When Yilan heard Ling Ruo's question, the tears in her eyes immediately fell again, and she cried: "I... I was really scared at the time. My mind went blank, I was completely confused, and I couldn't think at all."
"What happened next?" Ling Ruo asked. If it was just like this, Yilan would never cry and hang herself. Something else would happen later.
"Later..." Yilan seemed to find it a little difficult to say, and said in a voice as quiet as a mosquito: "Then the prince seemed to feel better when I passed him. I thought everything was fine, and was about to leave, but suddenly the prince shivered again in his sleep.
, and hugged me, and kept shouting that it was cold, and her body turned from hot to cold, and the coldness seeped in through her clothes." She saw that Ling Ruo's expression was wrong, and hurriedly said: "I, I think
I had to push the prince away
, but the prince kept shouting cold and shivering all over. I saw that his teeth were chattering with the cold, and I couldn't bear it. What's more... I know that my sister has always loved the prince. To her, the prince is equal to
Your life, if something happens to the prince, my sister will not want to live alone. So in desperation, I can only let the prince hold me to keep warm, and I will not help him lie down again until his body temperature calms down. "
Ling Ruo never expected that so many things would happen overnight, and Yilan would even have a physical relationship with Yinzhen. Although Yinzhen had been unconscious during this process, Yilan was conscious.
This cannot be dismissed as non-existent.
Yilan smiled sadly and said: "Eniang has always taught us: As women, we should keep our bodies clean and not touch anyone other than our husbands. Although I was eager to save people at the time, my body was unclean after all. How could I be qualified like this?
Entering the palace for the draft in three days?"
Ling Ruo was so confused that she couldn't figure it out. After a while, she said: "No one knows about this except you and me..." She wanted Yilan to treat it as if nothing had happened. After all,
It was just a touch of skin, nothing beyond etiquette, but I couldn't say this.
Yilan saw what she was thinking and couldn't help but shake her head. Tears fell one after another because of her action, like splashing raindrops, "I can't do it, sister, I really can't do it. All I have to do is close my eyes now."
I will think of this incident every time, and think of myself being held like that by someone other than my husband. I can’t stand it, I really can’t stand it.”
"So...you thought about death?" Only then did Ling Ruo finally understand why Yilan wanted to die.
