Three months later, Jing Ning was seriously injured in the banditry, fell into a coma for a long time, and woke up in the lotus valley. Fortunately, Xilin Jinchun, the master who taught her kung fu riding and archery in the palace in the past, is still by her side.

"Ning'er, your body is better, don't sit here for a long time in the wind, I'm afraid that if the wind blows, the illness will be more serious, and it will not be good."

From a distance, Xilin Jinchun saw Jing Ning sitting alone on the edge of the cliff.

Jing Ning listened to Xilin Jinchun's voice, lowered his head, and raised his voice evasively: "Master, please don't come over!" Peeking at Xilin Jinchun, Jing Ning was silent, as if adding, and said: "Ning'er felt dizzy and panicked, and wanted to blow the wind on the cliff, just for a while." Master don't worry, Ning'er knows the time. ”

Xilin Jinchun looked at Jing Ning's back, opened his mouth for a while, but didn't know what to say, just listened to Jing Ning's voice, and his footsteps stopped there unconsciously.

In the past, although Jing Ning was King Danxiang's favorite princess, she never talked about her identity, no matter who she was in front of, it was you, me, and there was no elder or younger. Now, after such a thing, the family was ruined in an instant, and Jing Ning seemed to have grown up and alienated all of a sudden.

Seeing Jing Ning, who was no longer crooked in his arms and shouted "Master, Master ......", wantonly coquettish, playful, obedient and lazy, Xilin Jinchun's heart was entangled with a trace of guilt.

After standing and waiting for a long time, Jing Ning didn't speak again after all, Xilin sighed this spring, and finally went back silently alone.

On the cliff, the cool breeze swept away, the long grass fell, the fallen leaves swept, and the cold was pressing, but in two or three months, Xiangcheng had already changed to autumn.

The big tree in the incense altar, I don't know if there is still a pious Danxiang people from the distant Xiangshan to bring cold spring water to irradiate. When the incense tree falls next year, I don't know if there will be a large number of Danxiang people flocking to the incense tree, waiting to collect the tree full of blessings......

Jing Ning thought like this, tears wet her eyes again, and she couldn't remember how many times she had cried since she woke up. After being rescued by Hao Bugui, she always avoided the affairs of Danxiangguo, but whenever she was alone, she still couldn't help but think about her father, mother, eldest sister, and brother......

The scenes of the past seem to have taken root in her mind, sprouting and pulling branches, scattering leaves and flowers, flying in the wind, and in the blink of an eye, it is a towering tree, no matter how she dodges, she can't ignore it.

Whenever her memories flooded, Jing Ning avoided them, so she would shift her attention to some irrelevant things, such as flowers and trees, such as her lovely good horse Xiaobai, such as what she saw during that trip outside the palace......

However, the more she was like this, those irrelevant things seemed to have emotions, and they were unrelentingly entangled, which caused her to cry more and more. In the end, I can only sit on the edge of the cliff and think about it once, cry once, and have to scold Fengjian Che once, so that I can calm the grief in my heart a little.

Further down, Jing Ning can't think about it, but I'm afraid that if she thinks about it any longer, she will fall into the torrent of hatred and can't extricate herself, and she will be cynical and can't tolerate anyone. Xilin Jinchun said that it was the biggest tragedy!

The twilight was slightly dull, the birds were tired and knew how to return, and they were hoarse and chirping home, Jing Ning sat there and secretly felt sad for a while, and then stood up and went back silently.

The birds have a homecoming, but she doesn't. The country of Danxiang has been destroyed, the country is broken, and no one still exists, which is perhaps the most devastating thing. Looking back again, look at the lonely cliff edge, summer flowers into autumn grass, the past can not be recalled, love the wind and dust, into smoke in a blink of an eye.

Xilin Jinchun is right, there are still many beautiful things waiting for her ahead, only thirteen or fourteen years old, the most should be the season of flowers, how can she withstand a night of wind and rain, and become a stump of flowers?

I figured it out in my heart, and my body seemed to be much more relaxed. As the saying goes, the heart is better than a hundred medicines. Thinking so, when he returned to the Wuzhu House in the Lotus Valley, seeing the hot meal on the table, Jing Ning didn't feel a little hungry, so he sat down and didn't need Xilin Jinchun's persuasion, he had already sandwiched the vegetables and ate a small bowl of rice porridge.

When Xilin Jinchun came in with the soup, he had already seen Jing Ning gobbling up, and his heart finally let go. If Jing Ning continues to make trouble without eating or drinking, don't say that she is a girl, she has been sick for so long, she is a big man, no matter how good his medical skills are, there is no way.

Although he thought like this in his heart, Xilin Jinchun's mouth was a little unforgiving: "Hey, hey, there is still a soup here that has never come up, Ning'er, why did you use it like this?" ”

Jing Ning didn't answer, he just ate silently, and when he used up the last bit of rice in the bowl, he said as if he didn't have a problem: "It's not in the way, I just felt a little choked after eating, and I drank the soup at this time, and it was just smooth." ”

After speaking, Jing Ning had already taken the soup bowl in Xilin Jinchun's hand and put it on the table, took the soup spoon and filled a small half bowl for himself to drink.

Xilin Jinchun sat down, peeked at Jing Ning and said leisurely: "Master still thinks that you don't know how hungry you are!" I am thinking that from tomorrow, I will no longer have to cook your food, and I will save one of the expenses in the lotus valley. ”

"Hmm~" Jing Ning buried his head in a sip of soup, tasted it carefully in his mouth, and closed his eyes to make an aftertaste, not answering Xilin Jinchun's words at all. When he opened his eyes, he handed the soup bowl to Xilin Jinchun, and praised exaggeratedly: "Master, you taste it, today's soup is really fresh, Ning'er is not boasting, I have never drunk such a delicious soup." ”

Xilin Jinchun glanced at her and smiled unconsciously: "You girl, your mouth full of sesame oil, will make me happy." ”

Jing Ning smiled when he saw Xilin Jinchun, so he naturally took off his disguise, returned to his previous unruly appearance, handed the spoon containing the soup to Xilin Jinchun's lips, and said sweetly: "I never knew that Lu Dao, master, you actually have such good cooking skills, and you used to hide it so well, why are you willing to take it out now?" ”

Jing Ning is used to having no rules, and even though Xilin Jinchun knows the way, he still has to abide by the rules that should be followed. However, after several pushes, Xilin Jinchun had no choice but to take Jing Ning's spoon and drink the soup by himself, but while he was talking, the spoon handed to Jing Ning was a new one.

"It's not you yet, it's just that the master is not busy enough, and when he is sick, he only knows how to make trouble, and scares him as a teacher without eating or drinking, doesn't the master show some housekeeping skills?" Xilin Jinchun said with disgust.

Jing Ning didn't follow this: "Who just said that you won't cook for me tomorrow?" Jing Ning glared at Xilin Jinchun angrily with big black eyes and said: "The provincial silver has been saved on the apprentice, and you are embarrassed to be the master!" ”

Before Xilin Jinchun could speak, Jing Ning opened his mouth again and said: "In my opinion, I'm afraid that the master is thinking that Hao is there, and he has to do his best to host and guest, otherwise, I'm afraid I will have no food to eat." ”

Having said this, Jing Ning suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have seen the shadow of Hao Bugui today.

A few days ago, she was sick, and when she woke up, she was blindly sad, and she didn't take him to heart, but now that she thought about it, Jing Ning was puzzled: "That day, the Danxiang National Army was in chaos, and the people were devastated, how could Hao not return and get out?" If it is said that he is strong in martial arts and has escaped a catastrophe, it makes sense. It's just that Qishan encountered a bandit, and Hao Bugui happened to save her and sent her to the Lotus Valley, but Jing Ning didn't quite understand. Qishan is the border between Danxiang and Wuzhu, hundreds of miles away from Xiangcheng, if you don't make preparations in advance, you can't rush to Qishan from the Danxiang Palace. ”

Speaking of Hao Bugui, Xilin Jinchun's heart also trembled, Jing Ning's usual intelligence, he knew it. I didn't ask before, but because she was sick and couldn't extricate herself from the sorrow of the kingdom, she figured it out now, and naturally she wouldn't let it go. Besides, Hao Bugui's rescue of Jing Ning from the hands of the third prince of Wu Zhu, if you think about it carefully, it will be full of loopholes, and you can't complain that she will be suspicious.

Looking at the look on Jing Ning's face, Xilin Jinchun knew that it was time to give Jing Ning an explanation. Otherwise, if she finds out something, he is afraid that in the future, Jing Ning will be fortified everywhere, which he does not want to happen.

"Guard Hao went to inquire about the news in the palace, I'm afraid I won't come today." Xilin Jinchun said quietly, his eyes faintly cold.

Referring to the Danxiang Palace, Jing Ning's expression was still a little unnatural, and he said lightly: "It's been two or three months, if there is news that should have been heard a long time ago, isn't it too late to go at this time?" ”

Seeing Jing Ning's gaze, Xilin Jinchun sighed in his heart, looked back, and staggered his gaze again after a moment, he couldn't look directly at Jing Ning's naked gaze after all.

"The situation in Danxiang Country was turbulent, there were great ups and downs for a while, the ministers were lost, and the people's hearts were scattered. What's more, the third prince of Wu Zhu has already encountered a bandit in Qishan, the 'Princess Jingyi' is lost, and you have never been found, and I heard that the crown prince is also missing, where does Wu Zhuguo dare to relax? ”

Xilin Jinchun glanced at Jing Ning, breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "In addition, Xiangcheng is the national capital and the palace is important, where is it easy to mix in?" Hao Bugui only relied on his kung fu, but he didn't dare to break through, and only when the rumors passed that he dared to sneak into the interior of Xiangcheng to explore the truth. ”

Jing Ning thought about it in his heart for a long time, and then he said: "I shouldn't have such a heavy suspicion, it's just that Danxiang Country didn't have to be sudden, I have never had a heart or lungs, and I also know the strangeness of this matter, if there is no internal response, Wu Zhuguo has 10,000 guts, and he doesn't dare to take advantage of his father's birthday to openly start an incident, so he took away my Danxiang Country in such a grand manner." ”

Looking up at Xilin Jinchun, Jing Ning's eyes were already damp: "Master, don't blame me, I was scared by this, and I don't dare to believe anyone's words like I used to be." I'm afraid ......"

Xilin Jinchun looked at Jing Ning's tearful face, an inexplicable pain floated in his heart, he hugged her into his arms a little helplessly, reached out and patted her back, and comforted: "Master knows that you are bitter in your heart, but at this time, we and Hao do not return, and the three of them depend on each other, and there is no one to rely on for a while, it is easy for people's hearts to disperse, but it is even more difficult to get together." Ning'er, you must not be impulsive and hurt Hao Bugui's heart, in the final analysis, your life was saved by him, and the master owes him a favor. ”

Jing Ning nodded with tears in his eyes, but when he was grieving, he heard a sound of stumbling footsteps outside.
