Lin Mo couldn't bear to look at her departing figure, and resolutely turned around and left, each taking heavy steps, and what remained in the breath was the back of each other's sympathy.

Lin Xuan'er was in front of the carriage, and when she saw Cui'er coming, her mood became heavy, and at this time, a palace man came over, and said with her chin bowed, "Concubine Xuan, your mink coat seems to have forgotten." ”

Lin Xuan'er was shocked, and then remembered that she had left her cloak on Song Jingran last night, if he woke up and found it, just as she didn't know how to answer, Xiao Ying came from the mansion, holding her white cloak in her hand.

"Concubine Xuan, your cloak has fallen." Xiao Ying smiled and handed over the cloak.

Lin Xuan'er smiled, it should be Lin Mo who found her cloak, the palace people on the side took the cloak, and draped it on her, there seemed to be a familiar smell of Song Jingran on the cloak, and she inadvertently took a deep breath.

Worried about the palace people on the side, Lin Xuan'er leaned close to Xiao Ying's ear and said softly, "Take good care of him, he is worthy of your trust." ”

Even if it is her selfishness, at the moment, Cui'er and Lin Mo are missed, and Xiaoying's passing through the secret guard can be regarded as their fate, Lin Mo is burdened with the mission of the secret guard, he promised him that he will take care of Xiaoying, maybe not every relationship will have a result, and not every result has a beginning.

"I will, because he is my life." Xiao Ying's sweet smile did not contain any impurities at all, and the sadness in her eyes could only be understood by Lin Xuan'er, but everything was like smoke, she believed that they would comfort each other, and over time, they might have a peaceful life.

Lin Xuan'er looked up at the huge Lin Mansion, she knew that Lin Mo couldn't come out to see her, but he would definitely watch him from a certain corner;

The neighing of the horse, as if urging her to leave, and as if waking up the sleeping person, Lin Xuan'er then got into the carriage, and with the sound of the horse's hooves, the carriage slowly drove on the empty street.

Xiao Ying watched Lin Xuan'er leave the carriage, and when she turned to enter the house, she saw Song Jingran coming out half-asleep and half-awake, and she gestured with her chin and left.

Song Jingran shook his drowsy head, and his consciousness seemed to be a little more sober, the morning breath was a little cool, but it was also very refreshing, maybe he was attracted by the faint sound of horses' hooves, maybe he was curious, how could there be a carriage in the early morning in winter;

He looked at the sound of the horse's hooves, and the carriage on the street came into view, because the carriage was delicate and luxurious, so that his eyes involuntarily stayed for a moment, and as the carriage went away, he retracted his expression and went in the opposite direction.

Lin Xuan'er was nostalgic for home, she thought countless times that she was so familiar with this road in the past, but now, she was so unfamiliar;

She opened the curtain of the carriage, trying to familiarize herself with the road, and what caught her eye was a familiar and lonely back, although it was far away, but it did not affect the face in her distraction at all, she looked at it in a daze, I don't know whether it was tears blurring her eyes, or the carriage gradually drifting away, the figure gradually blurred in the sight, deeply burned in the bottom of her heart.

As the new year approaches, people are making a summary of the past year;

Song Jingran collapses in the business everywhere every day, which can be regarded as enriching his time, closing his superfluous thinking, and occasionally immersed in the pain of love, but he is always depressed in the smoke and rain building.

In addition to accompanying the child every day, Lin Xuan'er is stuffed in her own palace, and occasionally asks Miao Ji for peace, but it is only perfunctory, and the dark soul has very little time to accompany her because she has to take care of the child;

However, she also settled quietly, Gao Jin also came twice, each time he came and went in a hurry, and even just glanced at her, and then found various reasons to leave, she knew that he had not yet prepared his emotions to treat her, just like she was not ready to accept him.

Compared with Lin Xuan'er, the dark soul has several times more contact with Miao Ji, because Gao Jin can allow Lin Xuan'er to do whatever she wants, but she can't, she not only has to help Gao Jin clean up the rubble, but also has to deal with Miao Ji's various temptations, as well as their own secret battles.

On the Chinese New Year's Eve of the first year of Gao Jin's accession, he ordered a banquet for major courtiers to bring their families into the palace to observe the New Year, naturally including Song Jingran and Yan Yongyan;

Gao Jin also ordered the opening of the granary to give rich compensation to the people who suffered in the war, and most of the courtiers went to the table to oppose the move of releasing grain, because the war subsided soon, there was a shortage of grain and grass, and if the grain was released again, the grain and grass in the treasury would be empty;

And Gao Jin knew that this matter was unknown, but he also knew that he was reluctant to let the child trap the wolf, so he decided to secretly recruit troops after the year, if he first included the hearts of the people, it would also be a good thing to recruit troops, and Xia Fengguo would also relax his vigilance against his apparent unknown actions, as long as he had time to breathe, he would get rid of the fact that Xia Fengguo was a puppet sooner or later.

On this day, Gao Jin finished the government affairs in his hands, and came to Lin Xuan'er's 'Xuanfei Palace' with joy, he believed that with Lin Xuan'er's kind nature, he would definitely be happy for his actions when he learned that he distributed grain and grass to the people.

Lin Xuan'er was leaning on the soft couch in the hall, as if she was asleep and woke up, and when she heard the sound of the palace people worshipping outside, she also got up, only to see Gao Jin walking with his hands in his hands, his steps were slightly hurried, looking at his complexion, his mood seemed to be good, and after observing his actions, he also approached the hall.

Lin Xuan'er owed, and said softly, "See King Liang." "In front of him, she has never had the honorific title of 'concubine'.

Gao Jin stepped forward with an arrow, supported her body, and said, "I didn't tell you, in front of me, you don't have to salute." ”

Although he said that he would dispense with her etiquette every time, and she would agree every time, he would still salute every time, and only in front of her, he did not carry the honorific title above the ten thousand.

Lin Xuan'er nodded with a smile and pulled Gao Jin to sit down beside him;

For her bright and unadulterated smile, Gao Jin always felt an indescribable strangeness, looking at it with his eyes, it would be a little dazzling, and he looked at it with his heart, but he couldn't see it clearly;

More often, he didn't dare to face her like this, even if she had a grudge and hatred for him, he could accept it, because that was a normal performance, and now her smile was a kind of irony to him, an invisible stab, deeply rooted in his body.

Lin Xuan'er didn't care at all, his thoughtful eyes, but casually, fiddling with the tea cup in his hand; She doesn't like the palace people to serve them one by one, so every time, she will make some tea cups by herself.

A fragrant and rich light fragrance wafted out, Lin Xuan'er handed a cup of tea to Gao Jin, smiling as always, and said, "It's refreshing to taste." ”

Gao Jin hooked the corners of his mouth, avoided the smile on her face, took the teacup and took a sip on the side of his mouth, he didn't feel the taste of tea at all, a fragrance wafted into the sense of smell, and it was like a poison, and his brows frowned inadvertently.

Lin Xuan'er sat aside, looking meaningless, and when she saw him frowning, she asked again, "What's wrong, but it's not to taste?" ”

Gao Jin smiled and shook his head, "Xuan'er's tea art is getting better and better. ”

As he spoke, Lin Xuan'er lowered his eyes and smiled, Gao Jin glanced at her from the bottom of his eyes, put down the teacup again, suddenly remembered his intention, and said, "By the way, Xuan'er, I decided to open a warehouse to release grain, hoping that after the war, the people can spend a good year in peace." ”

"Really." Lin Xuan'er said in surprise: "King Liang thinks about the people everywhere, which is the luck of the people of Beiliang. Her joy this time was completely from the heart, but only for the people.

Gao Jin saw that she was happy, and he was also happy, holding her hand, I don't know if he forgot her dazzling smile, or knew that her smile was tingling, he was still willing to look.

Lin Xuan'er watched his big hand tightly wrap around his hand, which was comparable to the temperature of a stove, but it never warmed her heart.

"The New Year is about to end, and I decided to invite important courtiers into the palace, which is the first year to celebrate the New Year for everyone, and it can be regarded as comforting people's hearts." Gao Jin looked at her, and the smile on his face faded a little, just because of this Chinese New Year's Eve banquet, and Song Jingran's figure.

"For such a big thing, King Liang is in charge." Lin Xuan'er glanced at him with a smile, and then lowered his head and fiddled with the plate ring in his hand, curious like a child, and with a melancholy meaninglessness.

Gao Jin looked at her, she was like a rose blooming in front of him, it seemed to be within reach, but he didn't dare to touch it, not only for fear of pain, but also for fear that it would touch her tough surface, involving the wound she hid under the stab, which was a wound he made, and the wound was wrapped in the pain given by Song Jingran.

"Xuan'er" looked at her a little fascinated, he didn't know what to say to her.

Lin Xuan'er still played with the plate ring in her hand, and said 'um' casually, without looking up, and did not show whether she was curious or meaningless.

"I still have something to do, so I can't accompany you." Gao Jin raised his hand and brushed her sideburns, there were too many sensitive topics, he couldn't bear it, and he didn't have the courage to mention it to her, so he chose to escape again.

"Didn't you come in the evening?" Lin Xuan'er looked at him with a smile that seemed to be expectant.

Gao Jin hesitated slightly, although he had only come to see her three times, but every time he left, she would ask this, sometimes, he really wanted to resist the impetuousness in his heart, and accompanied her from time to time, but every time he was shocked by her indifferent but complicated performance.

"Talk to the ministers in the evening." Gao Jin got up to hide the pause, maybe her intention was to test him, which was the greatest comfort to his body and mind.

Lin Xuan'er also got up, smiled and landed her eyes on the placket of his clothes, she stepped forward very naturally, Gao Jin obviously leaned back, but she didn't care at all, reached out to help him straighten the buttons of his placket, took two steps back, and said with a smile: "Pay attention to your body." ”

Gao Jin pulled the corners of his mouth unnaturally, "You too." ”

He thought that he longed to be close to her, but after the scene just now, he was afraid of such intimacy, and the more she behaved as if nothing happened, the more he wanted to escape from her, maybe it was the guilt in his heart, which was too strong, and while she needed time to get used to it, he didn't need time to brew his feelings.

Lin Xuan'er nodded, and said with a bow, "Congratulations to King Liang." ”

Gao Jin pursed his lips and turned to leave; When Lin Xuan'er raised her head again, the smile on her face faded, and looking at the departing figure, there was a trace of coldness in her eyes;

She just wants to smile at him, laugh until he is uncomfortable, laugh until he is afraid, he can make her hurt, she can make him hurt, although this is not the truest thought in her heart, but she can only use this method to protect herself, she wants him to understand that what he keeps is just a shell of her.
