Chapter 117: Returning with a Feather
The army that went to Yanzhou to defeat the enemy returned triumphantly, Xu Lin replaced the wind and sat in the position of general, sitting high on the dark horse at the front of the team, his eyes revealed a terrifying light, no matter who saw his eyes, his body would be weak, as if there was an invisible pressure enveloping him.

Duanyue also huddled in the crowd and watched the army return with a feather. She saw that every soldier in the team was a few years old, and there was no childish simplicity when she left Chang'an City, both her face and her heart were full of vicissitudes, and everyone's eyes revealed a ruthlessness.
Xu Lin was in the crowd and saw Duanyue at a glance. He rolled over and dismounted, took off the helmet he was wearing on his head, and held it in his arms.
"What happened to the Lord of Jin Zhao? How's Xiaofeng doing? He lowered his voice and asked with a very solemn face.
Facing Xu Lin's inquiry, Duanyue smiled slightly. "Uncle Xu, don't worry. Lu Qingyi has woken up, as long as he slowly recuperates his body, it will be no big deal, my brother has been anxious for Lu Qingyi these days, he has been sleepless, not eating or drinking, and his body is a little unable to resist. But it's okay now, otherwise why would I still be in the mood to pick up Uncle Xu? ”
After that, she showed a happy smile, Xu Lin saw her expression like this, and knew that there was no problem with Yan Feng and Lu Qingyi, so he let go of his heart that had been hanging all the way. He let out a long sigh of relief and muttered to himself. "That's good, that's good."
"Xiaoyue, explain to Xiaofeng when you go back. Let him get dressed quickly, and follow me into the palace to face the saint. Duanyue listened to Xu Lin's whispered instructions and nodded busily. She also knew that as soon as the army returned, the emperor would naturally have to meet with the generals, and of course the wind was no exception.
"Then Uncle Xu, where are you going now?" Duanyue tilted her head and looked at Xu Lin.
Xu Lin happily patted the top of her head. "Where else do you think I can go? I don't have to go back to the house first, change into court clothes and go back to the emperor. ”
A man in military uniform ran to Xu Lin's side, his iron armor, and the sound he made when he ran was not to be ignored. He whispered a few words in Xu Lin's ear, and Xu Lin said goodbye to Duanyue first.
"I'm going back to the army first, don't forget what I told you. Let's go back! Duanyue nodded, she waved her hand at Xu Lin, and after he walked away, Duanyue got into the carriage of Ninghou Mansion and rushed back.
Cuiguo stood at the gate of Ninghou Mansion, poking her head out and looking hard. Rong'er was also on the side, accompanying Cuiguo to wait for Duanyue.
"Sister Cuiguo, you seem to be very abnormal these days." Rong'er was a little cautious, she raised her eyes slightly to look at Cuiguo, and saw that her face was sallow and thin, and she was restless these days, always standing in a daze. Anyone who looks at it thinks something is wrong with the green fruit.
"Yes?" Cuiguo turned her head in surprise, looked at Rong'er, and grinned herself. "I don't think so, do you?"
"Sister Cuiguo, you still said that you were fine. Look at how much weight you've lost, there's only bones and no flesh on your arms! He took Cuiguo's arm and furrowed his eyebrows and whispered.
Cuiguo lowered her head and smiled lightly, and patted Rong'er's head with her other hand. "It's just that I've been too busy and tired lately. But it's good to be thin, how good it looks in clothes. ”
"Sister Cuiguo, I'm ......" Rong'er was anxious to persuade Cuiguo again, but Cuiguo left from her side in a flash, making Rong'er unable to speak.
Cuiguo saw Duanyue's carriage from afar, and she immediately greeted her and waited respectfully aside. Duanyue held her hand and slowly got down from the carriage, and Rong'er hurried over when she saw this, helping Duanyue lift the long skirt to avoid tripping.
"Where's Master Hou?" The first thing Duanyue said after standing still was to ask about the wind. She walked in in a hurry, and she didn't have to guess to know that the wind was next to Lu Qingyi.
Rong'er and Cuiguo followed behind, and she immediately replied respectfully. "If you go back to the county lord, the Hou Ye and the county lord of Jin Zhao are wandering in the garden."
Duanyue nodded, and then turned to the back garden. On this day, the sun was just right, shining on people without the heat of the heat, and there was a breeze after the rain, mixed with a fresh smell, which was very good. Although it is only May, the early lotus in the lake is already full of flowers, and the pond is full of pink and white flowers, and the people who see it are very comfortable and satisfied.
From a distance, I saw the wind supporting Lu Qingyi, who had just recovered from a serious illness, walking by the pond, although I couldn't hear what was whispering between the two, but on Lu Qingyi's red face, it could be seen that they were talking very happily.
"I'm going to disturb the two of you." Duanyue showed an ambiguous smile at the two, and Lu Qingyi's ears immediately turned red when she heard her say this.
Duanyue gently swept over Lu Qingyi, and the smile on her face became even stronger. She stared at the wind, her face instantly solemn. "Uncle Xu has come back from Yanzhou, and he asked me to tell you to put on your court clothes and take care of them quickly, and prepare to enter the palace to face the saint." A smile tugged at the corner of her mouth. "It's not too late to get tired of your wife when you come back!"
Hearing her say this, it seemed that he had expected it a long time ago, he did not show a look of surprise, but nodded very calmly, and he used an extremely gentle tone towards Lu Qingyi. "I'll go into the palace first to face the saint, you are alone in the house, just tell the next person if you have any needs."
Lu Qingyi's affectionate eyes couldn't leave the face of the wind for a moment. "Then be careful, I'll wait for you back in the mansion."
Duanyue stood on the side, ignored as if she were a transparent person. She hugged her arm, and the two of them trembled with disgust, as if she had fallen into an ice hole. She couldn't help it, and pushed the wind in the direction of the room. "Okay, okay, I know you're reluctant, let's go! Lu Qingyi: Okay, I'll look at it! ”
"Be careful on the road!" Lu Qingyi raised his hand high, the sleeves of his shirt slipped down, revealing his arms that were as white as lotus roots, and waved his hand at the wind with all his might, until he couldn't see his figure, and then he put it down.
Duanyue laughed softly, she looked at Lu Qingyi's crimson face and laughed. "When did you two get along so well?"
"I ......" Lu Qingyi's mouth opened and closed, and she didn't know what to say.
"For so many years, I haven't seen my brother care so much about any woman, and now I don't even care much, it's all about you." Duanyue's tone was slightly sour, and she pouted and pretended to be very unhappy. "Now it's up to you, right?"
Lu Qingyi could see at a glance that Duanyue was all pretending, and he was stunned for a while, and soon sneered and bent down. She took Duanyue's hand, and her movements were very intimate, but Duanyue didn't shake off her hand with disgust.
"Of course, sometimes I really think it's worth it." The corners of his lips raised slightly, and he smiled. "These days, I see him caring so much about me, and I feel really unreal, but it's very happy. I hope it's not because of guilt for me, but for me. ”
The frustration in her tone was about to come out. Duanyue patted her hand and comforted. "I can tell he's got a crush on you. When you don't wake up, it's as if he's a different person, and he can't listen to anyone. ”
Duanyue stood still, she looked directly at Lu Qingyi, her eyes fixed on hers.
"I used to have a bad attitude towards you because I didn't recognize you as my sister-in-law. Indeed, I was prejudiced against you, especially after my brother agreed to marry you, and I was also misled into thinking that I was forced by Princess Sheng An. However, I saw that you could even die for him like this, and my brother showed his sincerity. ”
She paused, as if she had made up her mind. "I'm sorry I misunderstood you."
"It's okay, those who don't know are not guilty." Lu Qingyi smiled slightly and said softly. "Can you get along with me now?"
Duanyue smiled "poof", and looked at Lu Qingyi and became happy. "I wasn't in a hurry when you didn't wake up! I've been unwary of you for a long time. ”
