"Don't panic, how can the wedding of the prince of Xiuyi be without your blessing, this prince is not afraid that you will lose my senior brother's interest if you are not there, if the senior brother is to blame, won't this prince add another trouble." Hongxia Yike had an evil smile on the corner of his lips, and a pair of eyes stared at the lime's face, but he couldn't get what he wanted to see the lime blossom's face pale, and her peaceful appearance made him dissatisfied and angry for a while, "You still have half a cup of tea!" ”

"Yes, the slave is coming." Lime blessed his body, turned around and entered the hall, hurriedly came to the table, wrote down a few words, and asked Hongxia Yiming to hand over the note to Qiu Chulin.

Lime followed Hongxia Yike into the carriage, and then hurried on the road with the procession.

In the past few days, she has been a little busy, and she didn't notice the news outside, Hongxia Yike really caught her off guard today, and the time was urgent, so she couldn't contact Qiu Chulin, so she could only leave a note.

The carriage traveled quickly, and it left the palace gate in the middle of the night.

Lime closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm her restless mood.

The moment she heard Hongxia Yike say that Prince Xiuyi was married, Lime's heart was already beating like numbness, and she couldn't help herself, so she pretended to be calm at that time, so she avoided Hongxia Yike's eyes and didn't let him see the flaws.

Now that she is the only one in the car, she no longer has to pretend to be indifferent and calm. The slight frown showed her restlessness at the moment, and she exhaled that breath heavily, as if she wanted to vomit out all the knots in her heart.

Her mind is now full of Xiuyi, Xiuyi's joy, Xiuyi's anger, Xiuyi's every move, every word Xiuyi said to her, and everything she did for her.

It was also at this time that she really realized that Xiu Yi had already occupied an irreplaceable position in her heart.

The starry sky is bright, and Lime has been standing in front of the window for an unknown amount of time.

Now that she has passed the border pass of Jinnan, in a few days, she will be able to reach Licheng, and at that time, she will be able to see him and ask him clearly.

"I don't know if there are guests, Ling'er seems to be a little absent-minded these days." Qiu Chulin stood behind her, his brows furrowed slightly.

"Why are you here?" Lime looked back at the sound, a little surprised.

Qiu Chulin stepped forward to close the window, shook her cold hand, and sighed lightly, "Although the winter has passed, the evening breeze is still cold, you should be careful not to suffer from the cold." ”

"Hmm." Lime nodded and withdrew her hand, "Why did you suddenly get here?" ”

"The emperor has died." Qiu Chulin said, "Before he died, he left an edict and let the Nine Emperor Princes succeed to the throne." ”

"In that case, why don't you mourn?" Lime asked.

"Why, can't you think of it?" Qiu Chulin asked rhetorically.

"The regent changed the edict, and the original intention of the first emperor was to appoint the second prince as the new emperor." Lime pondered for a moment and said, "And you're here to transfer troops to garrison Nanlin Pass." ”

"When the second prince returns to the territory of Shuochu, the death of the first emperor will naturally be announced to the world." Qiu Chulin said.

"Then what are you looking for me?" Lime asked.

"I thought I wouldn't use it, but now it seems that I'm glad I came." Qiu Chulin sighed lightly, "You are uncertain, I'm afraid you don't see that there is fraud in this trip." If you think about it carefully, why did Hongxia Yike specially invite a holy decree and choose to announce it in person at the last moment? He wants to cover up, for fear that you won't be able to shirk it, and he wants you to go to Jinnan so much, which shows that this trip is fraudulent. Repair the big wedding, there are envoys from all over the country to visit, the fish and dragons are mixed, Hongxia Yike is very easy to fish in troubled waters, you must remember to be careful in everything. ”

"Well, I was negligent." Lime nodded, secretly blaming herself, she shouldn't have disturbed her ability to judge for her children's private affairs.

"The cultivation of that person is very deep, and he is the senior brother of Hongxia Yike, you should be more careful." Qiu Chulin said.

He ...... He shouldn't help Hongxia Yi hurt me, after all, I have no conflict of interest with Jinnan. Lime lowered her eyes, so that you could not see the change in her eyes.

"Ling'er, you have to guard against him and protect yourself." Qiu Chulin's eyes flashed slightly, he raised his voice, and his tone became compelling, "There is no impermeable wall in the world, once the news of the emperor's death reaches Jinnan, Hongxia Yike will definitely find him to assist in taking Nanlin Pass, if Xiuyi catches you to threaten me, or even hurt you, I have no skills, how can I save you......"

"He won't!" Lime suddenly interrupted Qiu Chulin's words, and then she realized that she was a little excited, calmed down for a moment and said softly, "He is a gentleman, he won't do this." ”

He just said a few random words, and she provoked no more than a brain to refute him.

"I said who is the person in your heart, it turns out that it is really Xiuyi, and you are all because he is about to get married." Qiu Chulin looked at her eyes, a little sad, "Ning'er, if he really has you in his heart, how can he marry someone else?" ”

Lime was silent, just twisted her head to the side, unwilling to answer.

Qiu Chulin saw her like this, his heart was even more uncomfortable, he was silent for a long time, and finally sighed lightly, his tone was deep, weighing as much as a thousand catties, "Ning'er, going to Jinnanquan is a gamble, give you a chance, and give me a chance." If he really has you in his heart, he will not use you to contain me, and he will be able to protect you, so I will rest assured that I will hand you over to him and never ask again. But if he can't do it or hurt you in the slightest, I will never let you go again as I did today. If I win, I will never let go. ”

To the south, February has warmed up, but a night rain has made the morning air cold. Lime pushed the door open, and a cold breeze blew across her cheeks, making her wake up in the morning a little more sober.

This is the Jinnan Prince's Mansion, since arriving in Jinnan, Lime has lived here with him as Hongxia Yike's personal medical officer, and today is the third day of living in the Prince's Mansion.

Qiu Chulin's words woke her up that day, she was indeed blinded by her children's private affairs, so she couldn't see many of them.

Hongxia Yike took great pains to bring her to Jinnan, and he must have a plot against her, and there is also a faint mystery in the matter of Xiuyi's wedding, why did he suddenly get married? Who is the newcomer? What is the connection between what Hongxia Yike planned and Xiuyi's wedding and himself?

She has been in the Prince's Mansion for so long, and with the temperament of Xiuyi, she should have come to look for her a long time ago, but she has not seen the shadow of Xiuyi in the past few days.

Last night, she visited Mo Xuan at night, and wanted to ask Xiu Yi about the questions in her heart, but unexpectedly, Mo Xuan was empty.

Putting on a cloak and going out, Lime avoided the people who were decorating the prince's mansion for the big wedding, and picked a winding but quiet path to Moxuan. Since he can't find it secretly, he will visit it in the light.

"Mo Xuan is the bedroom of His Royal Highness the Prince, and idlers are not allowed to trespass!" One of the guards stopped Lime at the door of Mo Xuan.

"I also asked this eldest brother to spread the word, and he said that the old man came to visit and had important matters to discuss." Lime Road.

"His Royal Highness's wedding is imminent, and the affairs are busy, and I haven't returned to Moxuan for many days, so the girl will come back another day." The guard said.

"Not in Moxuan?" Lime was slightly stunned and didn't return to Moxuan, so where did he go? "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, where has he gone?"

"Girl, we are just subordinates, how can we know the whereabouts of His Highness, girl, please go back." The guard said.

"When His Highness comes back, please inform His Highness that there is an old man visiting in the side room of the West Courtyard." Lime's eyes dimmed a little, and she thanked softly.

Lime thought about where to go for Xiuyi, and after leaving Mo Xuan, she subconsciously walked according to her habits, and when she came back to her senses, she had already arrived at the door of the Quiet Garden.

Jingyuan is the closest courtyard to Mo Xuan, and it was also the courtyard where she lived during the free clinic in Jinnan.

The door of the Silent Garden was open, and there were no guards at the door, and Lime hesitated for a moment before stepping inside.

The furnishings in this garden have not changed much from last winter, and they are still beautiful and fresh, and they are spotless.

The old pine, whose branches had been crushed by the heavy snowfall at the beginning of last year, sprouted new shoots again, and it was as green as ever. Lime caresses the new shoots of the pine trees, and remembers everything that happened in the garden last year.

Not far away, there was the voice of the maidservant talking, and Lime was slightly stunned, she really didn't expect that there were people living in this garden. Before he had time to think about it, Lime dodged and hid behind the old pine tree.

"I wonder if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Miss have woken up?" One of the maidservants said, "Let's also instruct the dining room to prepare breakfast for the two masters!" ”

"In two days, we should change our words to call Miss the Crown Princess!" Another maidservant said, her tone full of joy, "You and I will go and wait outside the door now, the two masters have woken up at this hour in the past few days, and it is estimated that they are not far from each other today." ”

As soon as the maidservant finished speaking, a male voice from the room that was very familiar to Lime came, "Come, wait for the young lady to change her clothes!" ”

"Yes!" Hearing this, the two maidservants hurriedly stabilized the objects in their hands, and hurried to the house to serve, for fear of being negligent.

Lime leaned against the pine trunk and could hear the voice clearly. She frowned slightly, although her face was calm, her heart was already beating disobediently, and that voice was Xiu Yi.

As the maidservants said, the person who lives in the Jingyuan is the woman who Xiu Yi wants to marry, and Xiu Yi has not returned to Moxuan, could it be that Xiu Yi has lived in the Jingyuan with his future princess for the past few days?

Thinking of this, Lime felt a dull pain in her chest. But hearing is false, and without seeing with her own eyes, she can't jump to conclusions.

The lime waited behind the tree for a long time, and the door finally opened slowly.

First, Xiu Yi walked out of the room, followed by a woman, the two of them interlocked their fingers, talking and laughing.

The smile on Xiu Yi's face was extremely gentle, and the eyes that looked at the woman were also full of endless pampering and love, the woman was gentle and soft, very cute, she held Xiu Yi's hand tightly, and her face was full of coquettish smiles.

The woman suddenly stopped, took Xiu Yi's hand and stroked her flat lower abdomen, she raised her head slightly to look at Xiu Yi, stood on tiptoe and kissed the corner of his lips, Xiu Yi took her into his arms, smiled and rubbed her hair, her eyes were full of pampering.

Lime was hiding behind a tree, and her vision had blurred when it landed on the woman's lower abdomen.

She knew what that meant, but when the thought came to her mind, she couldn't accept it, and she didn't want to believe it.

But the facts are in front of him, Xiu Yi's meticulous care and pampering of that woman is a sincere intention that can never be performed, that kind of gentleness, no adulteration, no purpose, and no obscurity in front of her.

Only then did she realize that the red silk lanterns were all over the garden, and Lime had never felt that the red was so dazzling, it made her eyes hurt, and she had nothing to hide in this ubiquitous red, and the sudden sadness in her heart made her heart ache.

The warm liquid slid down his cheeks, but the lime was powerless to dry it, so he let the tears run down his cheeks and fall to the soil to take root.

Lime didn't know how she got back to the West Courtyard, she just remembered how embarrassed she was running for her life.

Now, what other reason does she have, what excuse can explain what she sees as strange?

Maybe there is nothing strange in this, and there is no conspiracy, but there is a lover who eventually becomes a family.

At this point, only the fool deceives herself, and she is not a fool. No matter what happened between her and Xiuyi, it was already a past that passed with the wind.

Emperor Shuochu has died, Hongxia Yike is in a foreign country, although the overall situation of Shuochu has been decided, but the ministers are still controversial about the inheritance of the throne, so there will be complications in the meantime.

Since Jinnan has no one worthy of her nostalgia, why don't she go back to Shuochu and act to rescue her father and mother.

Lime placed a handwritten letter on the table in a brocade box and prepared to leave.

Out of the door of the west courtyard, she had only walked a few steps, and a female voice came from behind her, the voice was gentle and soft, like jade and water, which revealed three points of sickness, soft but not boring, so that people listened to it and suddenly felt good, "Girl stay." ”

Lime was slightly stunned and stopped, "May I ask what is the matter with Miss?" ”

It was her, the woman in the Garden of Silence.
