In a daze, Lin Jingmo opened her eyes. Only then did she realize that she was in the water. She didn't know how to swim...
She struggled a little, but the more she struggled, the more water she drank...
Where is this...
Suddenly there was a splash, and someone swam toward her...
The man was vague and not very clear. It wasn't until he got closer that Lin Jingmo saw clearly who the man was. That man was...
It’s business timing!
Lin Jingmo saw the face of the visitor clearly and began to struggle in horror.
Business timing, what is he going to do!
A feeling of suffocation came over me, just like that day in the lotus pond in the palace.
Could it be...
Shang Shixu appeared in the beam of light again. He grabbed Lin Jingmo who gave up resistance in the water, and then desperately swam upward, just like that time when she fell into the water.
Seeing that they were about to land, Lin Jingmo opened her eyes suddenly. She struggled to stand up from the tub. It turned out that she accidentally fell asleep and drowned in the water. Everything just happened was a dream...
It’s just that the person who saved her in the dream was the person who harmed her in reality!
She got up and put on her underwear, then put on a coat and walked to the bedroom.
Lying on the bed alone, he gently put down the tent. The surroundings were unusually quiet, but Lin Jingmo did not feel scared.
Is there anything more terrifying than the people in this world?
Lin Jingmo slowly opened the curtain and looked at the soft couch not far from the bed. In the past, Mrs. Li would always sleep with her because she was worried that she would be scared. As long as she opened the curtain, she could see
She slept on the soft couch, but things have changed now. This is not the bedroom in the main courtyard, and Mother Li is no longer in the world...
Thinking of this, Lin Jingmo pinched the corners of the quilt and closed his eyes, but tears still flowed out from the corners of his eyes...
……
When Shen Yifeng returned to the Hou Mansion, he ordered the housekeeper to take out all the treasures he could get from the house. He looked left and right, but found nothing to his liking. Gold Ruyi was precious but tacky, coral trees were rare but gorgeous, and only the jade
Qilin......
Shen Yifeng raised the jade unicorn lying in the brocade box, smacked his lips and thought: I'm afraid only this jade unicorn is likely to be appreciated by His Majesty!
So he grabbed the box and ordered his servants to wrap it up.
After bathing and changing clothes the next day, he walked to the palace early. When his carriage arrived at the palace gate, he was stopped by the imperial guards at the door: "Stop! No one is allowed to enter the palace without the official decree!"
Shen Yifeng stretched out his hand from the curtain and threw out a piece of silver.
The Imperial Guard guard picked up the silver in confusion and threw it back into the carriage angrily.
Seeing that his silver was thrown back again, Shen Yifeng angrily took out the gold medal from his arms, still holding the gold medal and extending his hand through the curtain.
The title of Marquis of Wuling is a hereditary title. Shen Yifeng's ancestors contributed greatly to the founding of the country, so the former emperor personally gave him a gold medal. However, the previous gold medal is no longer useful.
The guard of the forbidden army took a closer look and saw that it was the token from Wulinghou's mansion. He hurriedly bent down and clasped his fists and said, "Forgive me, Marquis Wuling. No one can enter the palace without a written order. This is an imperial edict, not even Wulinghou." ”
Hearing this, Shen Yifeng opened the curtain angrily and said: "I have got a treasure. I heard that Your Majesty is worried too much because of the death of His Majesty the Queen. What will happen if things continue like this? Therefore, I am here to offer a treasure to Your Majesty! You are a What is it? How dare you stop me!"
The Forbidden Army guard hurriedly lowered his head and said: "This villain is just a dog who looks after the house and the courtyard. How can he dare to stop the Marquis's carriage after eating the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard? It's just that he has the emperor's order and dare not make any arbitrary decisions. Since The Marquis is here to present a treasure, so the villain should go in and report it now!"
After that, the imperial guard hurriedly explained the whole story to the people inside the door, and the people inside reported the matter one after another. Until in the emperor's palace, Qi Xuanzhou, who was lying on the couch, heard that Marquis Wu Ling was going to offer a treasure, so he lazily said He waved his hand and said: "Wu Linghou is too manic. When he comes in, he will be startled, which makes me uneasy. Since he wants to offer a treasure, let him hand the things in, and no one will come in!"
So Shen Yifeng had no choice but to hand over the jade unicorn to the imperial guards at the door, hoping that the emperor would be happy to see the jade unicorn and allow him to enter the palace to meet the saint, even though he didn't know how he could plan for Lin Jingmo even if he could enter the palace. .< /p>
After waiting for a long time in the big sun, no one came out. Shen Yifeng shook his folding fan angrily. Suddenly there was news at the palace gate. Chen Neiguan, who was responsible for taking care of Qi Xuanzhou's daily life, walked out in person, followed by a little boy. The official is holding a tray in his hand, and the things on the tray are covered with a yellow cloth.
When Shen Yifeng saw this, he couldn't help but smile. He thought to himself, as expected of me, I picked His Majesty's favorite treasure right away. He must have sent Chen Neiguan to reward him.
He walked quickly to the palace gate, nodded to Chen Neiguan and said, "How are you, Lord Neiguan? Does your Majesty like the treasure I gave you?"
Chen Naiguan did not speak, but turned around slightly and lifted up the yellow cloth on the tray held by the little Naiguan.
Shen Yifeng took a closer look and saw that it was a fragment of his own jade unicorn...
"What does this mean, Chen Neiguan?" Shen Yifeng asked in confusion.
Chen Neiguan shook his head and said: "Even if Marquis Wuling is giving a gift, he should choose a good one. Why did he choose the jade unicorn that His Majesty gave you on New Year's Eve last year?" Chen Neiguan put the yellow cloth on his head. Covering it, the young eunuch stretched out his hand towards Shen Yifeng and said: "How can you not make your majesty angry? I have been feeling better recently, but Marquis Wuling has made your majesty angry again. What should I do? The marquis is still Take your treasure back, His Majesty said, I never want to see you again!"
Never want to...see again?!
Shen Yifeng took the tray in a daze. The emperor originally thought that he was uneducated and a dandy, but now it was better and he was completely convinced.
Shen Yifeng held the tray and was confused: Was this thing given to me by His Majesty? Why don't I remember? It's over. Not only did I fail to enter the palace, I also angered His Majesty. He doesn't want to see me again in the future... …< /p>
Shen Yifeng sat on the carriage and dismissed his entourage, leaving only the driver who drove the horse yesterday. He went to the best restaurant in the city to buy some food, and then went to the Villa in the bamboo forest.
As soon as he entered the yard, he saw Lin Jingmo wearing an armband and tidying up the messy lotus flowers by the pool. Lin Jingmo was wearing a white plain dress, with a loose bun on his head, and a mutton-fat white jade stick inserted sideways. The hairpin reveals a pair of lotus-rooted arms, which look smooth and white.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Lin Jingmo saw that Shen Yifeng was coming. He quickly took off his arms, arranged his sleeves, covered his arms, jogged a few steps towards Shen Yifeng, and came to his side. .
Shen Yifeng looked at Lin Jingmo who was a little dazed at first, then realized that she was waiting for his reply, and then came back to reality.
