Ling Xi sat in the long pavilion in the garden of the Hou Mansion in a daze, she looked at the remaining raindrops on the leaves of the flower garden, swaying with difficulty on the narrow leaves, and she was about to fall to the ground. It rained for several days in a row, and although the winter in Eupong was very cold, after the beginning of spring, the chill would be blown away by the spring breeze unconsciously.

The winter in Yicheng is so short, but in the spring of this year, Ling Xi just felt that it was not as warm as usual, maybe it was because the rain for days had chilled Ling Xi's body, or maybe it was because Ye Muzhi's words had chilled her heart that day, and Ling Xi's eyes couldn't help but become rosy.

After the Shangyuan Festival, she hadn't seen Ye Muzhi again, it had been almost a month, and they had also broken off their letters, Ling Xi couldn't help but think, what is Ye Muzhi doing now, is he just like herself? How many times has Ling Xi put down the pen he had picked up in his hand and wanted to give Ye Muzhi a letter to explain his lovesickness. But when she thought of Ye Muzhi's last words that night, she was angry and aggrieved.

She can not want the identity of Miss Houfu, as long as Ye Muzhi's words, she can use her actions to give him a determination, but unfortunately Ye Muzhi retreated. A tear slowly slipped out of the corner of Ling Xi's eyes, and she gently brushed away the tears from the corners of her eyes, feeling very annoyed in her heart, she was really useless.

Suddenly, Ye Muzhi's majestic figure gradually came into Ling Xi's eyes, Ling Xi, who was still a little listless just now, quickly got up and looked at it, it was really him, Ye Muzhi came, he actually came to the Hou Mansion, this time he must not have come to return things, let alone to find Ling Zhu, now at this time, Ling Zhu is still studying in Taixue, he is here to find her, and he also misses himself.

Thinking of this, Ling Xi couldn't help but walk out of the long pavilion with a happy pace, but as soon as she walked out of the stairs outside the long pavilion, she stopped again, and she looked at Ye Muzhi who was getting closer.

"Ye Gongzi is afraid that he has gone to the wrong place, my brother is not in the Hou Mansion today, even if he is, I am afraid that this backyard garden is not something that Ye Gongzi can enter casually." Ling Xi said with a slightly angry look.

"Are you okay?"

Ye Muzhi walked in front of Ling Xi, she was thin, Ye Muzhi looked at Ling Xi's big reddish eyes again, it was obvious that she had just cried.

"What does it matter to you whether I am good or not?"

Hearing Ye Muzhi's words of caring about herself, Ling Xi's heart was hot, for many days, he and her had never spoken so intimately, her unassuming tears almost burst out again, she tried to restrain her tears, and said in a angry tone.

But her tears slipped out of her eyes before she knew it, and the wet and salty tears slowly slipped down her face, over her lips, and crumbled between her chins, like raindrops that had just swayed the green leaves.

Ye Muzhi slowly raised his hand and stretched out to Ling Xi's face, just as he wanted to gently wipe away the tears hanging on Ling Xi's face, Ling Xi turned around and staggered away from Ye Muzhi's hand, and the tears fell silently to the ground, merging with the wet earth. Ling Xi took out a handkerchief and gently wiped away the tears, as if the tears just now had never crossed her face.

"What else are you doing here?"

"I'm leaving the city." Ye Muzhi said faintly.

Ling Xi was slightly stunned, she understood, it turned out that Ye Muzhi didn't come to the door to relieve the pain of lovesickness because he missed her too much, he came to resign. Ling Xi couldn't help but smile bitterly, Ye Muzhi was trying to avoid her, was he afraid that Ling Xi would do something stupid and escape from Yicheng in fear?

Thinking of this, Ling Xi's chest couldn't help but feel a sharp pain, as if something was churning up and down in her heart, a faint pain, and tears rushed out of her eyes without fighting, Ling Xi didn't want Ye Muzhi to see her unproductive appearance, and she was about to leave without looking back.

"I don't know when I'll be back, I'm here today just to ask you a word."

From behind Ling Xi, Ye Muzhi's voice came faintly, Ling Xi immediately stopped, there were not only tears in her eyes, but also a wave of anger, she turned around sharply and walked quickly to Ye Muzhi's eyes.

"What are you asking? Your dare, unwillingness, and unwillingness are the reasons why you have failed my true heart in vain? What else do you want to know now? Do you have to say that you don't have to worry about it, so that your troubled conscience can live in peace, and then flee from the city at a non-stop speed? ”

The more Ling Xi spoke, the more excited she became, tears kept pouring out of her eyes like a fountain, and her voice became louder and louder, a little crazy Ling Xi didn't seem to be worried at all, at this time, someone else would break into the garden of the Hou Mansion, or she didn't mind that others knew about her relationship with Ye Muzhi, anyway, her love was dead.

Suddenly, the ginkgo that was guarding behind the garden gate shouted loudly,

"Third Miss, Second Miss said that she would invite you to listen to Yuzhai for tea, why don't you go with me to listen to Yuzhai."

I saw Ling Man and the maid standing at the entrance of the garden, but they were stopped by the ginkgo at the door.

"What are you doing at the garden gate, could it be that there is something shady inside." Ling Man shouted loudly. And with the maid, they were about to break into the garden, and Ginkgo couldn't stop Ling Man, seeing that they were about to enter the garden.

Ye Muyi grabbed Ling Xi's hand and quickly pulled her into the rockery in the garden before Ling Man walked into the garden. In the narrow gap of the rockery, Ling Xi and Ye Muzhi were close together, Ling Xi's head was pressed against Ye Muzhi's chest, and the sound of their heavy breathing sounded in the air.

"Ginkgo, what are you always doing with me?" Ling Man said with some dissatisfaction.

"Third Miss, Second Miss is still waiting for you." While saying this, Ginkgo quietly looked around with her eyes, where did Ling Xi and Ye Muzhi go?

"Ah, I remembered, I still have something to do today, second sister, then I can't go, ginkgo, you go back and tell the second sister, I'll go to see her next time."

Saying that, Ling Man sat down in the long pavilion in the garden, she looked at the ginkgo that was still following her, what happened today? Ling Xi had no right tendon, so she had to let herself listen to Yuzhai, and Ginkgo followed her like a little follower. Is there something in this garden?

Ling Man got up and continued to wander around the garden, in fact, she didn't notice anything suspicious in the garden, but Ginkgo was still following her, as if there was some secret in the garden.

Ling Xi and Ye Muzhi didn't dare to move in the gap of the rockery because of Ling Man's sudden intrusion, Ling Xi's head was stuck to Ye Muzhi's chest like this, she thought about him a lot this month, and now Ye Muzhi was in front of Ling Xi's eyes, and they were still hugging each other tightly, everything came too fast, too happy, Ling Xi's face couldn't help but be a little crimson.

But as soon as Ling Xi thought that Ye Muzhi was here to say goodbye, she became a little angry again, she angrily moved her head to Ye Muzhi's chest, and her hands and feet began to move out of the rockery unnaturally, suddenly Ye Muzhi's hands clasped Ling Xi's thin waist, Ye Muzhi made a hard effort, and tightly clasped Ling Xi's body in his arms, he lowered his head, the corners of his mouth were close to Ling Xi's ear, and said softly: "Don't move." ”

A breath of heat floated past Ling Xi's ears, and Ling Xi's face became even more rosy.

Ling Man was still wandering around the garden, and in the rockery, Ling Xi and Ye Muzhi were waiting quietly, as if time had stood still, there were only the two of them in the world, there was no Ling Man, let alone the concubine and Miss Houfu.

"I'm going to join the army." Suddenly, Ye Muzhi whispered in Ling Xi's ear.

Ling Xi was shocked, joining the army? If Ye Mu goes to the battlefield, he can only start as a low-level soldier, not to mention that he can bravely kill the enemy and make war exploits, I am afraid that his life may not be saved.

"Are you going to die on the battlefield?"

Ling Xi leaned her head heavily on Ye Muzhi's chest, letting her tears flow quietly, and soon her tears wet the clothes on Ye Muzhi's chest, and a trace of coolness invaded Ye Muzhi's body through the clothes, but Ye Muzhi's heart was extremely hot in this coolness.

"Your Majesty wants to station troops on the border of Xihua, Dongyu may have a battle with Xihua, if this battle can be won, it will definitely get another look at Your Majesty, and it may even be possible to pay homage to the Prime Minister. My teacher, Dr. Yan, recommended me to go to the border town to be a guard, and for me, this was an opportunity, an opportunity to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, and it was also an opportunity for me to change my fate. Once the two countries go to war, if I can win the Xihua Kingdom, I can enter the court as an official, then I am no longer a humble concubine, I want to have meritorious service, I will be able to match you, when the time comes, I will definitely come to the Pingyuan Marquis Mansion to ask for relatives, are you willing to wait for me? ”

"The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, you will be in danger, I don't want you to take risks."

"For you, no matter how dangerous the battlefield is, it's worth going, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to wait for me."

Ye Muzhi's words echoed in Ling Xi's ears, and Ling Xi could clearly feel that the strong heat on Ye Muzhi's body penetrated into her body little by little through this heavy dress, in this dark and humid environment, Ling Xi did not feel a little chilly, it was too warm, and this moment was too unhappy.

"I can wait, as long as you don't retreat, I will definitely not retreat, I will wait for you in Yicheng."

"I don't know when this battle will end, my marriage contract, I'm afraid ....................."

"I will definitely wait for you to come back and marry me, if I can't wait for you to come back, I will go to the border to find you."

"Don't worry, I will definitely come back alive, for you, I will not only come back alive, but also marry you beautifully."

"As long as I come back alive, the rest is not important, what you promised me must be done, otherwise Ye Muzhi will hate you for the rest of my life, in the next life, I will hate you in the next life, and I will never forgive you."

Although in this dim rockery, Ye Muzhi couldn't see Ling Xi's face clearly, he knew that Ling Xi must have cried and his eyes red. Ye Muzhi increased the strength of his arm again, and he hugged Ling Xi distressedly.

"I promise you, I will not fail you." Ye Muzhi said firmly.
