CHAPTER XVIII
The days of counting with his fingers passed day by day, Xin Ziling did not see Mu Dinghua again for a long time, and only after asking Ruan Yu did he know that he had gone to Zongheng Mountain. She was very happy when she found out, and she looked forward to finally being reunited with Chi Qianxi, thinking that when she saw Chi Qianxi again, she would tell him how much she missed him.
Thinking that he would make fun of himself with a doting face when he heard this, he felt very stable and happy in his heart. She didn't want to take revenge at first, she just wanted to live as her mother had requested. Maybe there could be another way to live, she thought.
She had never been blinded by hatred, but she was also worried about changing the facts that had become a foregone conclusion, and wanted to know why things had come to such an end. But now, she doesn't want to know anything, she just wants to seize the happiness that is already around her and live a good life.
Letting go of the burden in her heart, she felt a lot more relaxed, although she couldn't face it, she didn't need to escape anymore. She wants to tell Chi Qianxi everything about her, and she also wants to go back to the small courtyard and tell Uncle Hu Zi, who has been guarding there, and perhaps, Uncle Hu Zi is still there waiting for her to go back with her mother.
If Chi Qianxi is willing, she can take him back to the small courtyard with her. Then plant some side dishes in the yard, take Da Hei to Zhiwan, and you can also take Chi Qianxi to the Jinji clan to ask her childhood playmate where Princess Jinji went, and she can take him to the door.
Ten blue flowers bloomed, and ten more bloomed, and the blue flowers under the branches were about to bloom, and the buds on the branches were newly unfolded. Xin Ziling counted the flowers and watched the little blue flowers tremble in the breeze, just as her heart trembled in waiting.
She looked forward to Mu Dinghua's return and hoped that he would bring good news. He's been gone for so long, he should have to negotiate with the Chi family. My fingers poked into the clear stream outside the door, touched the fine sand at the shallow bottom of the stream, and watched the water slowly pass through my fingertips, feeling the coldness of my arms in the hot weather.
She had not looked closely before, and now she realized that the stream flowed into the inner court, and should have flowed into the pool of the inner court. It turned out that her fate with Chi Qianxi had long been doomed, and she should have unconsciously walked along the water to the courtyard at that time.
She laughed, a pear vortex on her face. "What's so funny?" Lian Yi came over listlessly and squatted beside Xin Ziling, pulling the grass on the ground with both hands.
"Why didn't you go around today?" Xin Ziling turned her head to look at Lian Yi, and saw that he picked up a stone and threw it into the water. The splash of water fell on Xin Ziling's face, and Lian Yi threw another one, which was a little stronger, and splashed more water.
"Lian Yi, is there something wrong with you?" Xin Ziling silently wiped a handful of water on his face, Lian Yi's appearance was rare, as if he had snatched a big sauce elbow from his hand.
“...... I'm out of love......" Lian Yi said depressedly.
"Ah, when are you, with whom?" Xin Ziling was surprised, he was with her from beginning to end, and he didn't see any woman he had an affair with?
"Mu Dinghua is back, the morning's thing. Lian Yi continued to say gloomily.
“...... Are you, are you, ......" Xin Ziling glared at him, stood up and ran towards the inner courtyard, her slightly wet skirts sticking together, looking a little rude. But she thought, maybe Chi Qianxi also came along, did Lian Yi mention Chi Qianxi just now or only mention Mu Dinghua?
Running to the side hall out of breath, she knew that as long as he didn't deal with external affairs, he would always stay here. When I arrived at the door, I saw Mu Dinghua talking to his general Wen Lu, Mu Mansion did not have a special school field for soldiers, but in fact, it was not that Mu Dinghua didn't value these.
The mansion seems to be simple, but the uninhabited place in the depths of the hinterland of the perched wood forest has been opened up and built into a central stronghold for training elite generals, and Wen Lu is the general in the army, and only obeys Mu Dinghua's orders.
She hesitated for a moment and said softly, "Your Excellency." ”
Mu Dinghua turned his head and looked at Xin Ziling, who was standing at the door, with a rare warm smile on his face: "Come in, Ziling." ”
Wen Lu walked out, Xin Ziling blessed him, and he tilted his head to return the gift. "Your Excellency," Xin Ziling stepped into the hall and rushed forward: "Your Excellency, how did you go to Zonghengshan this time?
"He ......" Mu Dinghua hesitated.
Xin Ziling's hesitation when she saw him, her heart was full of premonitions, and she was even more anxious: "What's wrong with him? Could it be that his injuries are not yet intact?"
"It's not...... It's ......" Mu Dinghua looked at Xin Ziling: "There are some things that I can't control...... Listen, maybe this matter was not Brother Chi's intention, but the Red Family unanimously agreed, and because Brother Chi was looking for you, everyone knew about it, and the Red Dragon Clan was unwilling to forgive you for it......"
As she listened to him, her eyes began to turn red little by little, and by the time Mu Dinghua finished speaking, her eyes were full of tears, and she tried not to let them fall. "You...... If you want to cry, cry out. Mu Dinghua looked at Xin Ziling's appearance, and there was some forbearance in his eyes.
"I don't cry......" Xin Ziling's voice was very small, she was afraid that if she was louder, tears would fall from her eyes. She didn't want to cry, she really didn't want to. "Your Excellency...... Chi Qian Xi ...... What did he say?"
“...... He said...... For the sake of the Red Dragon Clan, he can't just care about the small righteousness in front of him...... He made you forget about him......" Mu Dinghua tightened his grip on his shirt and pinched out several folds.
“...... Liangqing ......" she muttered, and finally held back the tears in her eyes, but not a drop fell.
"Seed Ling, what did you say?"
She turned her head to look at him: "I said, in the end, I am blessed, I fell in love with him, and Chi Qianxi saved me...... Isn't it two-clear?" she seemed to reply, as if telling herself. There was a little pain in her chest, and the pain made her head break out in a cold sweat.
Xin Ziling thought, it hurt so much, maybe her heart was broken. It hurts so much to make her mind clear. It was clear that she had been abandoned again. The people she loves have abandoned her, and she is just one person again.
A bitter taste came up from her mouth, followed by a mouthful of fishy sweetness, and a mouthful of blood spurted out of her mouth. The scene in front of her was spinning, and she saw Mu Dinghua's nervous face, and she couldn't hear a word of what he was saying......
When he woke up, the first person he saw in front of him was Mu Dinghua, his eyes were red, and he looked like he had stayed up all night. "How long have I been asleep?" she asked.
"Five days. He said in a light tone, but his eyes were full of concern.
"I want to go to Zongheng Mountain," Xin Ziling's eyes were a little hollow, and her hands hidden under the brocade quilt were clasped vigorously.
"It's better not to go to the mountains. ”
She turned her head to look at Mu Dinghua: "...... Are you worried I'm getting hurt more? I just want to know if he can really let it go...... I...... Am I spineless......" The fingers were white under the brocade quilt, and the palms of his hands were sweaty, but the face outside the brocade quilt was white.
He ...... In three days, they will be married. Mu Dinghua stretched out his hand to tuck her quilt tighter, and said, "I didn't want to tell you this......" He looked at her, and the light in his eyes suddenly dimmed completely.
"Really?" the fishy sweetness spilled into her mouth again, and she swallowed it back stiffly: "Then I'll see him for the last time from afar, ...... Wrap up ......"
Three days later, the exterior of the Fuming Palace in the vertical and horizontal mountains was full of lights, and it was full of joy. A big red sedan chair stopped steadily outside the palace, a maidservant girl opened the door curtain, and out of the soft sedan chair came a graceful woman, dressed in a red wedding dress embroidered with gold thread Tianlong Joy Bird, with the pace of shaking beads condensed outside the red hijab with the refraction of the sunlight to shine dazzlingly.
"Do you want to stay?" The ritual bride of the Red Dragon Clan wants to go into the inner hall by herself, I'm afraid she won't be able to see it......" On the mountain not far away, Mu Dinghua, who stood behind a basket of verdant plants, held Xin Ziling in case she was just beginning to recover from physical exhaustion.
"The bride...... It's Princess Lulu...... "She has long known that this princess has always been thinking of Chi Qianxi, and now she can be regarded as having her wish come true and marrying the lover in her heart, and she is just a passerby of Chi Qianxi's fate. On the other side, others have started a happy new life, but there is no new life on her side, and everything is back to the beginning.
Everything, just back to the beginning. At that time, without him, she also lived well, and in the future, without him...... There is no more him...... She also wants to live well......
This place is located on the high ground, looking at the winding path from afar, and then looking into the palace, you can see the fiery red phoenix flowers that are blooming brightly. The red kept jumping in her eyes, and it had already become blurry in front of her, until the tears slipped down at some point, and the fiery red color became clear again in her eyes.
The mountain wind blew, and many leaves swirled in the air. I don't know whether it was from the palace or from the depths of the mountain forest was blown by the wind A fiery red petal, she caught the petal that was about to fly away with the wind with her hand and glanced at it lightly, and the tears in her eyes slipped silently. After a moment, she raised her hand and threw the petals into the air.
The red petals were swirled by the wind and flew away towards another mountain. She didn't turn her head and let it fly away, never to be seen again. It's better not to see each other than to see each other, Chi Qianxi......
"Let's go back......" Mu Dinghua lowered his head and said softly.
...... Let's go back......
