In mid-July, the city of Kur is windy and sandy, with high temperatures at noon and chilly mornings and evenings.

Back at the Three Kings' Mansion, after the group was busy, Ji Qianning walked to the side of the case, picked up the jade cup, poured a small sip of water, and sat down in a daze, Yixuan saw her like this, and shook her head helplessly.

When a full moon hung in the air, the maid served a meal, and Yixuan summoned Ji Qianning, who was out of her spirit, to eat together, during which the two were speechless.

After a while, Yi Xuan took off her wedding dress and changed into her usual clothes, and the maid Zhu'er brought a cloak and draped it on her body, Ji Qianning saw this, and suddenly asked, "Where is the princess?" ”

"The moonlight is nice tonight, go for a walk." Yi Xuan tied the strap on her cloak and smiled at her.

"Tonight, the princess shouldn't go out of the cave room." Ji Qianning said and stood up.

"This time, the banquet should be dispersed, and the third prince should also come over, it is inconvenient for the palace to stay here after all, and it just so happens that the moonscape outside the house cannot be disappointed."

Hearing this, Ji Qianning suddenly understood that the princess wanted to keep her and Ling Chengzhi alone to see each other, the princess was very distressed, and Ji Qianning suddenly saluted her: "Thank you." ”

Yi Xuan smiled at her: "No matter what, be brave." After saying that, he and Zhu'er left the dormitory and went to the garden. After walking for a long time, Zhu'er helped Yixuan to sit down on a stone bench, and Zhu'er suddenly frowned and said, "Princess, the slave doesn't understand why you want to help the county lord of Qingyuan like this. ”

"This palace likes her temper and is desperate for love, and I see my own shadow in her." Yi Xuan looked at the full moon in the sky, pondered for a long time, sighed and said, "Creation makes people." ”

The moonlight was as gentle as water, sprinkled on Yixuan, she always looked at the full moon, pinned her lovesickness, and whispered in her heart over and over again: "Brother Ji, Brother Wang, Yun'er misses you so much." ”

Inside the house, the red candle was swaying, Ji Qianning was quietly waiting for Ling Chengzhi's arrival, suddenly, she saw a guqin on the wooden case in front of the window, she couldn't help but walk over, gently stroked the strings with her hand, and suddenly plucked a string with the middle finger of her right hand, and the pleasant sound of the piano evoked her thoughts: A long time ago, someone also played the piano for her...... It's like a world away......

She sat next to the wooden desk, looked up at the bright moon outside the window, plucked the strings with her fingers, closed her eyes, and a line of tears slid down the corners of her eyes.

A little drunk Ling Chengzhi suddenly came to the door, at this time he had already changed into a charming red clothes, heard the sound of the piano and stopped, he listened quietly, it was the tune of "Yue Ren Song", "The mountains have trees and trees have branches, and the heart is happy and the king does not know ......". For a while, Ling Chengzhi was a little dazed. At the end of the song, the sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and he pushed open the door and walked in.

Hearing the sound, Ji Qianning quickly stood up and looked at the door.

Ling Chengzhi raised his eyes and saw the person under the window, he was surprised, he never thought that the person in the room was actually her, he stopped there, his mouth opened slightly, he wanted to say something but didn't say anything.

Ji Qianning looked at him with red eyes, staring at each other, speechless.

After a long time, Ji Qianning got up and took a few steps forward, and suddenly said, "Third Prince, what's the matter, you don't know me?" The corners of his mouth rose slightly, and there was a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Ling Chengzhi looked into the room unnaturally, turned to the maid at the door and said, "It's all gone." ”

"Yes, Prince."

After the few maids at the door closed the door and left, Ling Chengzhi spoke: "Lord Qingyuan, we meet again." ”

"Hehe......" Ji Qianning laughed self-deprecatingly, but her eyes were a little moist, "It's all going to be like this, how long do you have to pretend to be confused?" ”

"This king said that the county lord recognized the wrong person?" Ling Chengzhi looked at the woman in front of him and pretended to be calm.

Ji Qianning walked in front of Ling Chengzhi and looked up at his ear: "Recognize the wrong person, Ling Chengzhi, do you know, I remember the mole in your ear clearly, how long do you have to pretend to be confused?" Her voice was not loud, but it was enough for the third prince to hear it clearly.

Ling Chengzhi looked at the person in front of him, his mood was complicated, he was indeed a little panicked when he first entered the door, he thought about it for a while, and planned to continue pretending, he told himself over and over again that he had only been using her all along, and he had no other feelings for her, but he didn't know that on the bank of the Lanluo River, from the moment he made an oath to a woman, he had already fallen in love with this woman.

It's just that he has too much on his back in his heart, so he can only bear her.

Ling Chengzhi suddenly looked at Ji Qianning's eyes: "Okay, since that's the case, then this king will tell you that this king is Ling Chengzhi, the Ling Chengzhi you are looking for." ”

Hearing this, Ji Qianning laughed and hugged Ling Chengzhi: "Brother Chengzhi, you are my brother Chengzhi." Ling Chengzhi looked down at the person in his arms, raised his hand and wanted to hug her, but suddenly thought of something but put it down again, clenched his fists.

"I know what you're up to, I understand, I understand." Ji Qianning hugged him tighter.

"Nope." Ling Chengzhi pushed Ji Qianning away and suddenly turned around.

A "no" word, Ji Qianning heard it so clearly, she closed her eyes, and her tears were unscrupulous. Trying to calm himself, he let out a long breath, looked into Ling Chengzhi's eyes, and asked, "Why?" ”

"There's no why."

"There is no why, hehe, for you, I almost fell out with my brother who loves me the most, just because of your oath that day, I look forward to you day and night, waiting for you, the peach blossoms all over the mountain bloomed, defeated, but there was never half a word from you, I kept telling myself, you must have something important to get out, you will come back to marry me. It turned out that I had been deceiving myself all along. ”

Ling Chengzhi listened to Ji Qianning's words one by one, his heart was very uncomfortable, he turned around and saw that her eyes were red, her face was full of tears, and her hair was stuck to her face, and his heart was even more uncomfortable: "Xiao Ning, don't be like this." ”

Ji Qianning wiped her tears, calmed down a little, and then asked, "Ling Chengzhi, let me ask you, have you ever liked me, even if it's just for a moment?" She was suddenly full of anticipation, how she wished she had heard a satisfactory answer.

"This king ......" Ling Chengzhi was speechless for a while, turned his back to Ji Qianning, clenched his fists, closed his eyes and said, "Never." ”

Ji Qianning pretended to be calm: "Why, since you don't love it, why do you come to provoke me, why do you say marry me, why?" I wanted to question him calmly, but when I thought of the bitterness of this journey, I couldn't control my emotions anymore, and I yelled out heartbreakingly.

"I'll tell you why." Suddenly, a person broke into the door, and the two people in the house all turned their heads to look at the visitor, and when they looked at it, it was Yanji, a woman in yellow who was dancing during the day. Yan Ji walked to the two of them, smiled at Ji Qianning, her eyes were full of sarcasm, and then she bent down with her hands on her chest and saw the third prince, the third prince frowned, as if he was very tired of this woman's arrival at the moment.

"Yan Ji, don't say more."

"Let her speak." Ji Qianning said sharply.

"Okay, listen up." Yan Ji snorted coldly, "You are just a pawn of our prince, from the beginning, he was just using you, why didn't he marry you, it was because you have long lost your usefulness." ”

"Shut up." Ling Chengzhi suddenly roared.

Ji Qianning felt five thunderbolts, and she held her body strongly.

Hearing the third prince's scolding, Yan Ji didn't feel good in her heart, but when she saw Ji Qianning even more angry, her tone became even worse: "Hmph, do you think the third prince likes you, don't dream, starting from Yucheng, it's just our step-by-step strategy, using you, making you like our prince, and finally marrying the prince." But then things changed, and I no longer needed you as a pawn, of course ......"

Suddenly, Ling Chengzhi slapped Yan Ji in the face, "Don't stop talking, someone is coming." Suddenly, two attendants arrived, "and put her in a water prison, and no one is to let her out without the king's orders." ”

"Prince, I ......" Yan Ji looked at Ling Chengzhi in disbelief, very aggrieved in her heart, the guards escorted her past Ji Qianning, and she glared at Ji Qianning viciously.

"Is she telling the truth?" Ji Qianning stared at Ling Chengzhi, she wanted to hear him deny it in person, but for a long time, he didn't defend a word. Ji Qianning knew it in her heart.

At this time, Ji Qianning's mind was in chaos, her eyes became trance-like, her whole body was soft, she didn't have half of her strength, she sat down paralyzed, there happened to be a case next to her, she used all her strength to lie on the desk, so that she was not too embarrassed.

It was all too shocking and cruel for her. She raised her eyes to look at him again, she hadn't looked closely, this was the first time she had seen him dressed in red, but for some reason it was so familiar, she searched for a long time in her memory, suddenly thought of something, closed her eyes, and let the tears slip down.

"That day in Yucheng, in Tianxiang Building, you killed me and Xuanqi, but you?" Ji Qianning stared at his eyes, but his eyes dodged, and he looked away with a weak heart,

"Hehe......" Ji Qianning choked tears in the corners of her eyes, smiled bitterly, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeves, walked in front of Ling Chengzhi in a few steps, reached out to touch his face, but her hand stopped in the air, and laughed, her smile was full of bitterness, but her eyes were staring at his face: "What a handsome face, when is it true and when is it fake?" She laughed loudly, tears streaming freely, "This face, I am so bitter to deceive...... Acquaintance with you is destined to be a mistake. ”

It turns out that she is a joke, in addition to wishful thinking all along, she is also a pawn used by others, how can she be so stupid.

She scrambled to her feet, her eyes blank, staggering towards the door, she wanted to save the last shred of dignity for herself.

Walking past Ling Chengzhi, he couldn't bear to see her like this, so he grabbed her arm: "Where are you going?" ”

"Does it have anything to do with you? Hehe" Ji Qianning turned her head to look at him and smiled self-deprecatingly, "When the peach blossoms are scorching in the coming year, your Chengzhi brother will definitely come to marry you in a big red carriage, haha, what an ironic sentence." Ji Qianning's eyes were cold, and there was no nostalgia for Ling Chengzhi in his eyes, it was so strange, and the sadness was more than the death of the heart, which was probably like this.

"Ling Chengzhi, oh, no, the third prince, my heart is wrong after all. From this day forward, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Ji Qianning didn't have any emotion in her words, and after speaking, she shook off Ling Chengzhi's hand, walked out of the hall, and hid herself in the moonlight.

Ling Chengzhi looked at her lonely back, but he couldn't bear it and followed him far behind.

Xuan Qi, who was separated from Ji Qianning during the day, was afraid that it would be dangerous for her to stay alone in the palace, so he quietly sneaked into the palace and hid in a big tree, he suddenly saw Ji Qianning coming out of the house, and saw Ling Chengzhi following her, what he was most afraid of still happened, he couldn't bear it, and he was even more afraid that she would have an accident, so he followed behind the two.

Ji Qianning walked away for a long, long time, Kur City was windy and sandy, her hair was blown by the wind, the tears on her face were dried by the wind, and they flowed down again, the scene just now flashed in her mind over and over again, her chest was so tight that she was about to suffocate, and suddenly her eyes were dark, and she fell to the ground heavily, her heart was so tired, so tired......

Seeing Ji Qianning falling, Ling Chengzhi quickly ran to Ji Qianning's side and wanted to pick her up, but was pushed away by Xuan Qi behind him.

Xuan Qi gently hugged Ji Qianning into his arms, and seeing his beloved pear blossoms, he swept towards Ling Chengzhi with cold eyes: "Don't bother the third prince." ”

After speaking, he performed light skills and hid into the night with Ji Qianning in his arms.

Ling Chengzhi looked in the direction where Xuan Qi had left and clenched his fists.
