Chapter 33: The Fate of the Path Has Been Decided (5)
In the past few days, Fang Xiaoqin has been like a frightened bird, and she has lived every day with trepidation. Because she was worried about Shunyu's gentleness to her, and worried about whether Qi Yun would come to the door every day.
This difficult time was finally over, everything was fine, and she could only have the illusion that they had probably given up, because she didn't want to worry so much anymore.
Hearing that her father was promoted by the emperor, their Fang family moved to Kyoto, and when they got the good news, it seemed that her father was not very happy, but rather worried.
She thought she was in Kyoto, at the foot of the Son of Heaven, probably because Beijing was not a good official, right?
The whole Fang Mansion has been very busy these days, she took advantage of this busy moment to sneak out of the Fang Mansion, if she could, she really hoped that she could go here and never return. If she could be a little more free, originally their Fang Mansion was just looking for a substitute for their pearl in the palm of their hands, and she didn't have to care about their life or death at all.
Fang Xiaoqin walked alone on the street, she quietly covered her veil, because she really didn't want to be recognized as the princess. It's just that when she was about to leave the city, she hesitated for a second, but she quickly dispelled this thought.
"Xiaoqin, do you want to sneak away?" A voice came from behind her, and she didn't look back, deaf to her, but quickened her pace.
"I thought you were so bold that you didn't think you would run away from me. I haven't been looking for you for the past few days, I don't want to be forced by you, but if you run away like this, I don't think Shunyu will give up. You know, his methods are very cruel, and the princess who was once divorced by him wanted to remarry, but this misfortune happened. You won't be unaware of the news, and if I bother you, I'll give you more time, and I've said so much, I just want you to understand that you have to think twice. ”
Knowing who the voice was from, she bit her lip and smiled when she turned around.
Fang Xiaoqin hurriedly denied, "I just went out for a walk, I didn't run away from anything, you know." Fangfu has been very noisy these days, I can't stay any longer. Although this excuse was terrible, she could only grit her teeth and laugh.
Qi Yun just stood beside her, looking at her reckless appearance, which was very funny, but he was unwilling to break her life.
"Alright, you can go shopping and go back. If my estimation is correct, the main reason why your father can succeed in becoming a Beijing official this time is what the emperor has for your Fang family, you should be careful. Qi Yun was worried that she would be implicated, so he didn't forget to warn her. Because Fang Xiaoqin is such a simple woman, he is really afraid of her in the future, so no matter what the answer she gives him, he will be by her side.
"Okay, okay, I haven't been out to play in a long time." She stretched her waist, looked at Qi Yun with a grin, and then smiled: "Thank you for the reminder, I will be careful." But you follow me so openly, aren't you afraid of being discovered by him? He's so vindictive, I think you'd better keep a certain distance from me. ”
Qi Yun chuckled disapprovingly, as if everything was already grass and trees in his eyes.
"You dare to laugh out loud." Fang Xiaoqin glanced at her, she didn't want the innocent Qi Yun to be involved.
Of course I dared to laugh, as long as he had a clear conscience, I was even more at ease. It's just that you must be careful about what you remind you, because in his eyes everything has only value. Her indifferent state made him feel a lot, his brow raised slightly, and a cloud of sorrow gathered between his eyebrows, but suddenly he smelled a birdsong, and he suddenly jumped out of the crowd, and in the next moment, he disappeared without a trace.
She stared blankly at him as he disappeared without a trace, she was a little puzzled, staring blankly at the direction he was leaving, but when she heard Ling Zheng's voice behind her, she suddenly smiled.
"The subordinates see the princess, the prince is not worried that you will go out alone, so let the subordinates secretly protect you. Can your subordinates take the liberty of asking, is the man you just talked to be Lord Yun? Ling Zheng knelt on one knee and asked with his fists clenched.
Fang Xiaoqin's eyes couldn't help but widen, and she looked around for a long time, pretending to be looking for something, and then she stuck out her tongue and expressed her doubts.
"Isn't it? Ling Guard, have you lost your eyes? I've always been alone, but I haven't been back to my homeland for a long time, and I want to walk more and see more. Because I went to Kyoto, I don't know when I returned to my hometown? But no matter what, thank you for your kindness, I am really flattered that he arranged for you to protect me like this. If Ling Guard didn't find it monotonous, I really wanted to play it everywhere? ”
Ling Zheng saw that she was concealing, and he didn't specify it directly, but just replied respectfully: "This is the duty of the subordinates, and the subordinates don't feel monotonous when they accompany the princess to play." ”
Fang Xiaoqin specially burst into a bright smile and hid all the weakness of her heart at the tip of her heart. It turns out that the Shun Yu she thought of has a lot of ability, it turns out that she underestimated Shun Yu, and he once said that she is just a chess piece, I don't know which is true or false between this sentence and his mind? She couldn't tell, but what was his purpose in secretly letting Ling Zheng follow her? Is it because you are afraid that she will run away?
"By the way, Guard Ling, how many days have you been by the prince's side?" She asked faintly.
Ling Zhengzuo replied: "It's been decades, I grew up with the prince since childhood, and the prince treats his subordinates like brothers, and his subordinates are grateful. His subordinates know everything best, he is a person who does not dare to give his heart. In fact, don't look at the power he has, in fact, the floating clouds of this power are not important to him, and his only hope is to find someone to accompany him for a lifetime. It is rumored that he is a cold-blooded and ruthless man, but who knows the truth behind it? ”
Ling Zheng's words of praise, she didn't think it was unusual, a friend who has been with her for more than 20 years, there is no reason not to help Shunyu, but Ling Zheng's heartfelt heart is indeed different.
She just smiled, and there was a lot of unnaturalness in her laughter, and she nodded in response.
"This is the prince you say, I think there are many people in the world who think he is a ruthless man, because everything he has done has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but I can't judge anything, but I think in the river of time, many people may choose to forget the final memory, and I also want to show that everything is gone with the evening breeze."
