Chapter 10: It Was Here

After Xiao Lingfeng had eaten, it was close to noon, the sun was getting warmer and warmer, he had not rested well from yesterday to today, his body was a little tired, and he went straight home.

Seeing that Xiao Lingfeng had not come back, Le Ling was instructing his subordinates to remove the prepared lunch from the table, Xiao Lingfeng often did not go home to eat, and sometimes he was not at home all day, Le Ling had already gotten used to it, but she still had to prepare, in case Xiao Lingfeng might come back for dinner one day.

The lunch on the table had been cleaned up for more than half, and Xiao Lingfeng walked in, "Master, you're back, the food is already cold, I'll ask them to remake another one" Le Ling saw Xiao Lingfeng walk in and said to him.

"No need, I've already eaten, let's withdraw it", Xiao Lingfeng said, his voice was a little tired, and Le Ling brought Xiao Lingfeng a cup of tea.

Xiao Lingfeng took a few sips and said to Le Ling: "I'm a little tired today, I'll go sleep for a while, you can refuse for me if a guest comes", and got up and walked to the bed.

Maybe it's because of a lot of things that have happened in the past few days, plus the injuries on his body that were beaten by Aoqing with a whip, Xiao Lingfeng felt very tired, and fell asleep on the bed, Le Ling walked to the side of the bed to cover Xiao Lingfeng with a quilt, but inadvertently saw a long scar on Xiao Lingfeng's neck near the shoulder, she pulled down Xiao Lingfeng's clothes and found that there were several similar scars inside, to see that Xiao Lingfeng was already asleep, she didn't disturb him, just quietly gave him medicine and bandaged the wound.

Since Ruxuan left him, Xiao Lingfeng has become less and less fond of his body, often drinking, often injured, all this Le Ling looks at but is powerless, she has seen the life of Xiao Lingfeng and Ruxuan with her own eyes, she knows how much Xiao Lingfeng loves her, Ruxuan's departure is a huge blow to Xiao Lingfeng, and I don't know how long it will take for this heart knot to open.

Leling bandaged his wound, carefully covered the quilt and went out gently. Xiao Lingfeng is so tired that he needs to rest, maybe he can forget everything when he falls asleep.

At this time, Aoqing was training her entourage in her palace, "Hurry up and fly, fly as high as you can" She shouted at the soldiers, only to see several soldiers flying around in the courtyard with light skills. "Is it just such a little ability, and you are still a master of the inner house", she looked at their stupid appearance and was a little angry, how could Xiao Lingfeng fly so high.

"Forget it, you guys hurry up and practice, I'll go rest for a while", Aoqing walked into the house, and the next person brought the tea.

She sat at the table and stared at a sachet in her hand, and the scenes with Xiao Lingfeng appeared in front of her eyes these days, "Why didn't he come to take it yet?" Hasn't he noticed that the sachet is missing, or is this thing not important to him at all", she thought to herself, she hadn't seen Xiao Lingfeng for several days, she found that she didn't seem to hate him so much, should she go and return it to him?

"No, he humiliated me so much, I can't let him go easily" The competitive heart made Aoqing retract the idea of backing down.

"Humph! If I don't come again, I'll throw it away", she began to muttered to herself.

The days of wind and snow all day long can also be annoying, Xiao Lingfeng has been at home or dealing with business matters for the past few days, and he has already forgotten Aoqing.

One morning when he came back from the bank, all the work was done, and it was rare to be so idle, so he sat down on the stone next to the fish pond in the garden, and took a handful of fish food and fed the fish.

Le Ling hadn't seen Xiao Lingfeng so happy for a long time, and he didn't dare to disturb just quietly accompanying him, and after a while, a maid came over and said something in Le Ling's ear, only to see Le Ling say to the maid: "Okay, take advantage of the master's happiness today."

Le Ling stepped forward and said, "Master, there are some new materials in the house, you haven't made new clothes for a long time, I'll measure and make a few sets for you."

"Okay", Xiao Lingfeng readily agreed, put down the fish food, stood up and patted his clothes.

"Come on", Le Ling just took out the ruler, Xiao Lingfeng suddenly said: Wait", then patted his chest again, put his hand in his arms and groped for something.

"What's the matter, master", Le Ling asked curiously, "Have you seen the sachet I carried", Xiao Lingfeng asked.

"No, hasn't it always been with you"? Xiao Lingfeng quickly ran back to the room, rummaged through the room and didn't find it, Xiao Lingfeng sat down and thought quietly, and suddenly stood up and ran out, he quickly crossed the street and went directly into the Cuiqing Pavilion.

"Alas, isn't this Uncle Xiao? You haven't come for a day, our Yingxue girl wants to kill you", the proprietress of Cuiqing Pavilion saw Xiao Lingfeng come in and shouted to him, Xiao Lingfeng ignored her and went upstairs directly to Yingxue's room.

"Alas, I'm in such a hurry, Yingxue can't run there", Xiao Lingfeng's ignorance made the proprietress a little unhappy.

Xiao Lingfeng rushed into Ying Xue's room, and Ying Xue saw Xiao Lingfeng come in and stood up to receive him, but Xiao Lingfeng didn't say anything and began to rummage around the house.

Yingxue turned her body to Xiao Lingfeng and asked, "What are you looking for?" "Did you see the sachet I was carrying?"

"The last time you were drunk, it fell out, and I put it in your arms."

"What about later," Xiao Lingfeng asked a little anxiously.

"You didn't spend the night with me after that, how do I know", Ying Xue seemed to have some complaints in her words, Xiao Lingfeng was in no mood to pay attention to Ying Xue's feelings, and began to sit down and think.

"You'll come back to me, if you don't believe it, we'll see", suddenly Princess Aoqing's words appeared in Xiao Lingfeng's mind.

"By the way, it's that stupid woman"! Xiao Lingfeng suddenly shouted.

No wonder she was so proud that day, so sure Xiao Lingfeng would go back to beg her, it turned out that she had already seen the importance of that sachet to Xiao Lingfeng, "No, I have to go to her", Xiao Lingfeng went out as she said it.

"Where are you going?" Ying Xue shouted behind her, at this time Xiao Lingfeng had already walked away, she felt a little lost in her heart, and sat alone at the table in a daze.

After Xiao Lingfeng left from Yingxue, he went directly to the palace gate, but was stopped by the guards at the door, so he asked the guards at the door to inform the princess.

"Do you think the princess is the one you can see if you want? No one shall be summoned, and no one shall enter the palace at will, otherwise there will be no mercy."

The guard at the door said unceremoniously that Xiao Lingfeng couldn't trespass on the palace gate in broad daylight, so he could only patiently entangle with the soldiers at the door.

At this time, a little eunuch ran into the princess's palace in a panic, "Return to the princess, he is at the palace gate when he comes", the little eunuch said respectfully to Princess Aoqing.

"Okay, it's finally here, go and see", Princess Aoqing walked towards the palace gate, followed by a group of subordinates, it turned out that the princess knew that he might come, and kept sending people to stare at the palace gate so that she knew that he was coming as soon as possible, Xiao Lingfeng was entangled with the soldiers at the door.

"Hey! I said you would come to me", I saw Princess Aoqing standing on the city wall and shouting at Xiao Lingfeng.

"Give me back the stuff quickly", Xiao Lingfeng looked up.

"You have bullied this princess many times, why should you give it back, aren't you strong in martial arts, if you have the ability, you can break into the palace and take it yourself", Ao Qing turned around and left after speaking, she knew that it was impossible for Xiao Lingfeng to come in.

"Hey, hey~", Xiao Lingfeng shouted at the high city wall, but there was no shadow of the princess on it, Princess Aoqing hid in the dark and secretly looked at Xiao Lingfeng's anxious appearance very happy, see what you do!

Princess Aoqing finally got to Xiao Lingfeng, and she was extremely happy, "Let's go, go back to the palace for dinner", and shouted to the people around her, only to see a long group of people walking towards the palace behind the princess. Xiao Lingfeng stood alone outside the city wall, feeling a little lost, that was the only thing Ruxuan left him, he had to take it back no matter what.

Soon the sun had slowly set, and the sunset on the horizon was blooming with charming brilliance, Xiao Lingfeng looked up at the high city wall, and the tightly guarded palace gate secretly made up his mind.
