21 The Covenant of Brothers

Lin Zijian stepped into the garden gate, and saw the haggard maid running forward in a hurry to salute: "Castle master, lady, she ......"

When Lin Zijian heard this, he waved away the maid and walked quickly towards the main house, and the line of guards behind him hesitated for a moment, looking struggling and frightened, but still followed.

Pushing open the door, a putrid smell and bloody smell came to my face, disgusting, blood and corpses all over the place.

A woman in brocade with unkempt hair squatted in a corner of the room, shivering.

"Ling'er......" Lin Zijian's voice was momentarily sluggish, and his footsteps paused at the door.

The trembling woman raised her face, the face like a green-skinned skeleton was lifeless, and at this moment she faded away from the gloomy aura, and she was a little at a loss, "What should I do, I seem to have killed someone again......"

Lin Zijian breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the bloody stains and stepped over the corpses of those girls who couldn't bear to see, walked in front of the woman, and naturally pulled up her withered skin and blue wrists, and said distressedly: "You forgot, you are sick, they are loyal to protect you, and they are willing to make medicine for you." ”

"No, I don't want this, Zijian, can you kill me? Please, if you still have a little friendship for me!Why can't my hysteria, my bitter pleading, let you fulfill my !!" Yao Jinling wanted to break away from his embrace, and roared in pain.

Lin Zijian was gentle and soothing, and the words he said were desperate and lonely: "Ling'er, do you want me to die if you say such things?"

Yao Jinling shook her head and covered her face and cried bitterly, "My Gu poison can't be cut off by itself, I can only rely on the power of others." Zijian, you and I clearly said that if I get poisoned, you will relieve me, why do you want me to live so painfully. You see," she took Lin Zijian's hand, brushed off her long hair, a terrifying and hideous face, there were still large blood stains on the corners of her mouth and neck, and her black lips opened and closed, "I have changed beyond recognition, like a demon! You don't have to remove all the mirrors, I know what kind of ghost I am! Do you know Zijian, what I am most afraid of is that when I am sick, I will not recognize you and hurt you! I don't want to drag you down!" She broke free from her husband's arms again, "I know, I know everything, what have you compromised for me?" I don't want you like this, I'll hate you!"

"It's okay if you hate me, as long as you're by my side, whatever!

Ling'er, I'm already looking for a miracle doctor for you, she will definitely be able to cure your illness, for me, you can bear with me a little longer!" Lin Zijian hugged his wife, who was as thin as a paper man, "Trust me." ”

Yao Jinling closed her eyes dejectedly, "Zijian, I don't want to stay here anymore, I can't stand it anymore!"

Lin Zijian nodded: "Okay, I have built a courtyard for you, just in Cuizhuling, where we used to go, you will definitely like it." You are there to recuperate, and I will accompany you when I take care of my business. ”

"Hmm. ”

In the early hours of the morning, a light rain suddenly fell, and wisps of rain drifted into the unclosed rear window, and the cold cold woke You Xue.

She sat up with the quilt in her arms, pushed open the window, the mountain wind carried the rain and sprinkled on her face, indescribably fresh and comfortable, she leaned her head against the window, listened to the sound of wind and rain in her ears, thinking about her heart, and it didn't take long for her to fall into a half-dream-and-half-wake nightmare, but this time the dream was too vague, and when she was awakened by the sound of footsteps approaching from a door away, she still had the sadness and irrepressibility in the dream in her heart.

I only heard the door open softly from the outside, and I heard the footsteps that seemed to be women's cloth shoes, what was going on?

You Xue completely forgot that she was just a servant.

She continued to pretend to sleep, pretending to be asleep, and listening with her ears pricked up.

It wasn't long before footsteps exited the room and closed the door.

She raised her eyelids and looked in the direction where the footsteps had stopped, and saw the dishes, chopsticks and dishes on the table, and realized that she had brought them breakfast.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside again, "Are you awake?" was Yun Ze's voice.

You Xue got up in confusion and opened the door: "What's the matter?"

Qingyang, who was standing behind Yun Ze, frowned: "Nanxing girl, you seem to have forgotten your identity. ”

You Xue was stunned: "What did I forget?"

Yun Ze said quietly: "The slave who got up after breakfast time seems to be a little unreasonable, so I won't take it as an example." ”

You Xue suddenly realized, "It's not that I forgot, it's that my business is not good, rest assured, I will never miss serving the master for lunch!"

The two outside the door only understood the second half of the sentence, and Yun Ze said: "I don't need you to serve, Qingyang and I are going to the conference hall, you two stay in the room, don't cause trouble again, you know!" He said in a deliberately accentuated tone in the second half of the sentence.

You Xue nodded: "Got it." Then be careful!"

Back in the room, You Xue sat on the dining table with her cheeks in contemplation, a table of delicate snacks and soft porridge with side dishes could not arouse her appetite, she probably guessed that these meals were for Yun Ze, he asked them to be sent here, otherwise how could she and Aode have such treatment with their current identities?

She has been in this world for a long time, and along the way, although she has suffered a lot, she has met a lot of nobles, and with her interactions with these people, she has gradually become more and more involved in the world, and she has unconsciously entered the role.

Yes, no matter what, she has to leave here after all and return to her own world, if she guesses correctly, half of her white jade is the key, but now her white jade is gone, and she has disappeared in her hand for some reason......

Suddenly, her eyes flickered, disturbing her train of thought, she instinctively raised her hand and patted it, and a miserable cry of 'sigh!' rang in her ears.

You Xue looked at it: "You're awake!"

The little boy held his little hand, his face wrinkled into a bun, and his eyes were full of tears, "Sister, you are about to discount my hand!"

You Xue smiled, "A table full of dim sum can't satisfy you, a drama spirit, I don't start hard, don't pretend." ”

Aode disdainful: "If this kind of thing is in the king... Ahem, it's not worth feeding my dog. ”

"Oh, then put away your hara, and stay there. You Xue sneered.

Aode noticed that You Xue was not in a good mood, pursed his lips, walked to the side and sat on a chair, picked up a bowl of lukewarm porridge and drank it.

You Xue looked at the young man bowing his head and quietly taking a sip of porridge, but he could see that he was very noble and elegant.

"Aode, outside, you have to restrain some of your little habits in the palace, and you can protect yourself. You Xue said suddenly.

Seeing the little boy raise his eyes and look at her with a confused expression, You Xue sighed, "After leaving here, I will send you back first, and I heard Yun Ze say that your guards are still looking for you near Tongguan." ”

Aode didn't have a fierce attitude this time, he put down the wooden spoon, shook his head and said, "Brother Jiulan is waiting for me in Paile City, and I have made an agreement with him." ”

Hearing this strange name again, You Xue finally faced it: "Who is Brother Jiulan?"

"He is my ninth brother, although his mother is very bad, but Brother Jiulan is the best brother in the palace. ”

You Xue picked up a dumpling cake made of glutinous rice flour, threw it into her mouth and chewed it carefully, and her heart said that it didn't taste very good, and the glutinous rice flour was too coarse.

She resisted the urge to vomit, swallowed hard, and asked, "Why didn't he go with you to the city of Paile, and let you go with a little child?

Aode puffed out his cheeks, feeling that the sister in front of him was sometimes very smart, and sometimes she was stupider than a pig.

"Sister, don't you know? Every prince of my Beichen Kingdom will have to travel far and wide when he is twelve years old. ”

You Xue really didn't know, "Well, now I know, and then what?"

Aode grimaced, as if he had found a shining point to be proud of, and he also had the appetite to pull the snacks on the table while telling the story.

It turned out that Aode was the little prince born to the most favored concubine of the king of Beichen Kingdom, but he was the most popular mother and son who were always remembered, when Aode was three years old, his mother went to the lake to enjoy the scenery and fell into the river and died, Aode was sent to the queen to raise, but he is still the most favored prince of the Beichen King.

The queen of the king of Beichen only had one daughter, so she raised two princes under her knees, one was Jiulan and the other was Aode.

According to Aode, this prince of Jiulan is seven years older than him, and he is a very gentle, intelligent and upright eldest brother, when he is bullied by other princes, he always stands up to protect him, and will tell him interesting allusions he has learned in Chinese studies to share with him.

Until the prince of Jiulan was sent to the country of Gulan by the king of Beichen to go to the country for training, they did not break off the contact, often exchanged letters, he was very curious about the outside world described by Jiulan, curious about what kind of country it was, so that the brother of Jiulan who had passed the training period refused to return to the country, and stayed for five years.

He couldn't wait for the twelve-year-old to come soon, and he also went to where Brother Jiulan's brother was.
