Chapter Ninety-Nine: Lin Yuan and the Princess

"Actually, I know him, and he's a good friend. We used to study poetry and books in the same private school, and just the year before that, I admired the scenery of Jiangnan, and I went to Jiangnan with him once," he looked up at the huge courtyard, turned to me and said, "Even this Linyuan piano room, or Master Jiang knew that I love the qin, built it in advance, and chose such a good place in the name of my name." ”

A mocking smile appeared on his lips, almost making me think I was wrong.

"Is anyone in your family a big official?" I couldn't help but ask, otherwise why would Master Jiang be so attentive?

"Yes. He smiled, walked over and brushed my hair, "My father is an official of the imperial court and has a lot of power, and Master Jiang even has a personal relationship with my father, and the Jiang family's business has been so prosperous in the past two years." ”

I nodded, in fact, 'great officials' and 'great powers' are just concepts for me, and I don't really care about them.

"Did you tell the princess?"

"Nope. I'm selfish, right? I told her I didn't know where he lived. In fact, this is also the case, because when he returned to Jiangnan, Jiang Kuo seemed to have had some accidents, and did not return to Beijing with me, and he did not come for a long time, and then he stopped learning poetry and books with us, and it is said that he changed to a private school specializing in martial arts. We never saw each other again. ”

I nodded again, "You didn't lie to her that way. ”

Lin Yuan touched my hair distressedly, and there was inexplicable guilt in his eyes, "You are too simple, Hanyu." In fact, if I want to find it, I can find it, I just don't want her to see him, I have a hunch that I am afraid of losing her. ”

My heart was slightly stagnant, sure enough, everyone is selfish in the face of love, not even Lin Yuan, but this is just human nature.

He continued, "But we didn't look for him, but he did." He held a portrait of a little girl and asked me if I had ever seen her. The girl on it is clearly Xiang'er when she was a child, I don't know when he met Xiang'er. I was scared, but I didn't want to lie to him. I thought I'd just take a gamble, couldn't I be as good as a stranger after so many years of companionship with Xiang'er? But I was wrong. Since then, Xiang'er has rarely come to me again, and people below tell me that she runs to Jiang Kuo's private school almost every day. At first, I was so sad that I couldn't eat or sleep, but Xiang'er is a person who loves and hates clearly, she likes Jiang Kuo, so she won't pity me because of my sadness. She barely came to see me again. Then I figured out that since they were in love, then let it be, as long as he was good to her, I would have nothing more to ask for. ”

"Until that day, she suddenly came to me with a very bad look on her face and swollen eyes. I asked her if Jiang Kuo had made her angry, and she yelled at me angrily, and she ignored him anymore. At that time, there was a flood in the Yellow River, and she actually asked the emperor to fight the flood. The emperor favored her very much, so he allowed it. The whole court praised that there must be a father and a daughter, and only I knew that she was just angry and found an excuse to leave the capital. Because her ideal has never been as simple as fighting floods, I remember she told me that she wanted to be like her father, charging for the country, and she even said that she wanted to destroy the hateful Huns and avenge her father, but ......"

Lin Yuan couldn't say anything anymore when he said this, the choked sobs in his throat couldn't stop making a sound despite his best restraint, I patted him on the back in distress, I didn't know how to comfort him, but I forgot my sadness.

He choked for a long time, finally got better, and said, "I should have stopped her, but I selfishly thought that maybe let her calm down for a few months, and when she came back, she would forget about him, and she could be the same as before...... It's all because of me, killing her......"

He said and became sad again, tears had already flowed down, the elegant and personable Lin Yuan on weekdays actually had such a side, I somehow remembered the day before yesterday in Jiang Xinju, Jiang Kuo cried, and my heart was sour.

While patting him on the back, I said what was in my heart, "Actually, she is fortunate to have two men like this, and I will never forget her." ”

Who knew that Lin Yuan suddenly raised his head, "Two men, Jiang Kuo?" he sneered, "He doesn't deserve it at all, he killed Xiang'er!"

I looked at Lin Yuan in amazement, he was covered in ice, and he was like the gentle appearance of the past.

"If he hadn't made Xiang'er angry, how could Xiang'er be angry to fight the flood?

My heart ached, and I asked tentatively, "Lin Yuan, do you hate him?"

He turned around, looked at the flowers and plants in the courtyard, and actually smiled, "What do you say?"

I couldn't see his expression, I just felt that there was no element of tolerance in that voice.

I froze in place for a long time before I found my voice, "Linyuan...... Don't hate him......"

"Why?" he sneered, interrupting me, "just because you're in love with him too?"

I was stunned.

He continued, "I remember you told me you didn't want this kind of life, and you cried and said it, but you didn't expect you to defend him like this a few days later. ”

I took another step towards him, "Linyuan, it is much more painful to hate someone than to love someone......"

Before I could finish speaking, he interrupted me again, his voice full of mockery, "So you choose to love him, even if it's a stand-in?!" he turned to look at me.

His last sentence successfully made me freeze in place, I didn't expect Lin Yuan to hurt me like this.

I looked at him, but no one spoke, and I gradually lost sight of the expression on his face and the emotions in his eyes, because my vision gradually blurred.

I was like a kitten reprimanded by its owner, staying where I was and crying, not knowing whether I was crying about being hurt by the person I trusted the most, or crying about the pain of the wound that was touched.

Then he came over and took me in his arms, and the cold kiss fell unexpectedly, and I was stunned for a moment, and the next moment he left my lips and kissed the tears from my face with pity.

His actions were full of comfort and apology, and I forgot to say no, as if it would hurt less in my heart.

He finally let go of me, his eyes full of distress and a hint of guilt.

This kind man, he must be regretting because of the inadvertent hurt he did to me.

In any case, Lin Yuan is Lin Yuan, or the original Lin Yuan.

I grinned at him to show that I didn't care.

I helped him carefully put the painting away and put it back away, and then said goodbye to him.

I had only taken two steps when he suddenly came up and grabbed my hand, and he looked a little panicked, and I couldn't help but wonder.
