Chapter 13: Beaten
Ye Jin woke up, with a thick gauze wrapped around her neck, and her whole body seemed to fall apart, and she inhaled in pain, and as soon as she woke up, Qi Han couldn't wait to ask.
"How can you kill yourself!"
"My dad ......"
Ye Jin remembered that Daddy Ye was torn out as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Uncle Ye hasn't woken up yet."
"What about Ye Xiang?"
"Ye Xiang? Don't you see? ”
There was no Ye Xiang, there was no antidote, she broke the kettle and swung a knife to kill herself, just like a joke, and she didn't get anything.
Ye Jin sat up with difficulty, covered her neck and got out of bed, staggered to Yunfu again, the gate of Yunfu was closed, no one was willing to pass it on for her, she tirelessly knocked on the gate of Yunfu, until the dark clouds overwhelmed the city, the heavy rain overturned, and the majestic rain covered her screams, she had never been so desperate.
Suddenly, the door slowly opened, and several people rushed out, picked her up and threw her into the pouring rain.
"The antidote has been sent by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to take it away, you go to him and ask for it."
The waterfall-like rain instantly poured her from head to toe and cold, but she smiled, the pain in her body seemed to have disappeared, the gauze on her neck spread out, the blood mixed with the rain poured out, staining a large piece of clothing on her chest, she didn't care, turned around and rushed to Ming Zisu's mansion, the door was open and written, there was a woman in pink standing at the door, holding a turquoise oil-paper umbrella, she smiled faintly, looking at Ye Jin's figure flying over, the smile deepened.
Ye Jin paused when he ran to the stone steps, wiped the rain on his face, his vision became clearer, and he saw a familiar face.
"Miss Meng?"
"Miss Ye has a good memory."
Ye Jin reluctantly pulled a weak smile at her, bypassed her and walked inside, but she stretched out her hand to stop her, and said ambiguously: "Your Highness was tired last night, and he is resting at the moment, so it's better not to go in and disturb." ”
"I have something very important to look for him."
"Okay, I'll help you go in and ask him if he wants to see you, you wait patiently here, look at this drench, do you want to make His Highness feel distressed?" Miss Meng handed the umbrella in Ye Jin's hand, flicked her sleeves and turned to go in, Ye Jin wanted to follow in, but was stopped by her maid, and watched the door slowly close.
Ye Jin felt that she was very unlucky, she obviously just wanted to live her little life quietly, and she offended such one or two people in Qingyang City without paying attention, but none of them she could afford to provoke.
Meng Siyao, the daughter of Meng Yuan, the protector of the country.
That year, he was still a shadow on the face, mixed with the spring breeze in the Qinglou Famous Pavilion, the proud son of Shangrong, not the prince of the East Palace, he rode on a horse, his body was straight, and the hand holding the reins was white and slender, he got off the horse, walked to the soft sedan chair behind him, and opened the sedan curtain: "Miss Meng, it's here, please come down." ”
A delicate voice came from the sedan chair: "Childe, people have been sitting for too long, and their legs are numb, can you hug people down!" ”
Ying Shangrong hesitated for a moment, raised his eyebrows and smiled, and spread his palm inside: "It's an honor to be here, please ask Miss Meng to get out of the sedan chair first." ”
There was a coquettish laugh in the sedan chair, a white jade hand stretched out from the sedan chair to hold the hand of the shadow, and then a woman in pink poked her head out of the sedan chair.
Meng Siyao covered her mouth with a handkerchief and smiled: "Thank you so much, son." ”
"Wait! Let me! Ye Jin was angry, roared and rushed up, pushed away the shadow, grabbed the woman's hand, grabbed her waist and hugged her down, without waiting for her to stand firmly, she quickly withdrew her hand, and said with a smile: "Girl, you are really heavy." ”
Meng Siyao was frightened by the sudden uninvited guest, and she barely stood firm with the sedan chair in embarrassment, and pointed at Ye Jin angrily: "Where are you a wild girl!" How dare you touch Miss Ben! ”
"It's you who said that your leg is numb, I kindly hugged you down, you didn't thank me, and you were fierce to me, I knew you were so heavy, I didn't hug it!" Ye Jin rolled her eyes unconvinced, who let you harass my beautiful boy.
"You are presumptuous!" The woman's eyes were red with anger, and she raised her slap to slap Ye Jin without saying a word.
Yingshangrong, who had been smiling lightly, moved, stopped in front of Ye Jin, and intercepted the woman's wrist.
"You...... You're protecting her? ”
Ying Shangrong slowly let go of her hand: "Miss Meng is in a bad mood today, why don't we get together another day." ”
"Let me take this breath, my mood will be fine, you get out of the way!"
Meng Siyao didn't obey what he said, and didn't give up bypassing him to Ye Jin's side, raising his hand to hit again, this time before he could raise his hand, he was grabbed by Ying Shangrong's wrist, he didn't say anything, a pair of eyes with a smile, just staring at her like that, the smile in his eyes disappeared little by little, staring at her scalp numb, and finally he let go of her hand expressionlessly, and instructed the palanquin man: "Send Miss Meng home." ”
Then he turned his head and rubbed the top of Ye Jin's hair: "I know you have a lot of strength, but don't hug people everywhere." ”
Ye Jin said innocently: "You think I am willing to hug her, it's not that she twists and makes things up by herself, and she still wants to get involved with you." ”
Ying Shangrong smiled: "I also know that I am twisting, do you know that she is the only daughter of Meng Yuan, the protector of the country, and I originally expected her to do me a big favor, but it's good, I was disturbed by you." ”
Ye Jin was a little anxious: "Then, what should I do?" I knew that I wouldn't offend her, is it too late for me to chase her now? ”
The shadow teased her: "The sedan chair shouldn't have gone far yet." ”
"Okay! Then I'll go! Ye Jin pulled out his legs and was about to chase after him, hesitated again, glanced at the horse tied to the side, ran over and climbed on the horse's back with agility, the horse was frightened, neighed and raised her body, so frightened that she screamed and hugged the horse's neck tightly.
The shadow looked grim, no longer joking, and grabbed the reins: "I'll tease you, don't make trouble, this horse recognizes the master, come down quickly." ”
"Don't worry about it, I can't hurt you, wait for me!" Ye Jin pushed his hand away, raised the horsewhip and flicked it, with a crisp sound, the horse rushed out like an arrow off the string, frightened her scream, the whole person leaned back, almost flew out, reflexively leaned over and hugged the horse's neck tightly, the horse ran forward frantically, and her cry was quickly drowned in the wind.
The horse was running fast on the street, startling the crowd to run in panic, and the horse under him shook the horse untamily and wanted to throw off the person on his back, Ye Jin staggered on the horse's back, seeing that he was about to fall, and then he began to be scared in hindsight.
Suddenly, the horse's back sank, her waist tightened, and she was steadily carried back to the horse, and a faint voice came from overhead.
"Now you know you're scared?"
"Shadow on the face!" Ye Jin turned around in surprise.
"Close your eyes." Ying Shangrong held her hand and grasped the reins together, took the whip in her hand, let the horse slow down, pulled the reins, and turned into a deserted alley, with a crisp "snap", the horse galloped.
Ye Jin obediently closed his eyes, his ears were whirring, as if he was flying, and behind him was the warm chest of the shadow, and the fear dissipated instantly.
"Want to learn how to ride a horse?"
"Yes!" She opened her eyes and looked up, her sparkling eyes filled with excitement.
"I'll teach you."
"Shadow on the face!" Ye Jin shouted at him.
"Yes." His voice was indistinct but gentle in the wind.
"Nothing, hehe......"
The horse galloped to a wide meadow, raised its head and neighed to a halt.
"It's here!" Ying Shangrong took the lead in turning over and getting off the horse, Ye Jin stretched out his arm to him pitifully, and the posture of asking him to hold the dismount was very obvious, he smiled dotingly and hugged her down.
Ye Jin learned to ride a horse with great interest, but the horse was very faceless, as soon as she got close to it, she walked away arrogantly, she chased it and ran, she stopped it, she was angry and walked back, it also followed, you chased me down one by one, Ye Jin was exhausted, but she didn't even touch the reins, she collapsed on the grass panting, and the horse also leisurely flicked its tail and ate the grass, she laughed mischievously, swished up and grabbed the reins, but the horse calmly ate the grass, no matter how she pulled it, she couldn't move at all, She threw the reins out angrily: "Don't learn, don't learn!" It doesn't work with me! ”
The shadow bent his long legs, sat leisurely on the grass, took off the piccolo at his waist, and the sound of the flute sounded slowly in the breeze.
Ye Jin's impatient mood gradually calmed down, she gave up competing with the horses, jumped her feet and walked in circles on the wide grass, and talked to Ying Shangrong with or without a match.
She said she fell at the threshold one day and knocked out a tooth.
She said that one day she had thrown a small wreath of flowers that she had woven by herself on the hill behind the house, and that it had withered when she looked for it a few days later.
said that one day she dreamed that she could fly.
Said that she has grown taller again this month, and the clothes she made last month are already a little smaller.
Said that she actually likes to wear men's clothes.
She babbled and wanted to share all her memories with him. Big and small, happy, unhappy, she wants to tell him, her shadow is stretched very long in the afterglow, the remnant sun obliquely accompanies her, the shadow looks at Ye Jin in the sunset, the silhouette is beautiful, as if it has been coated with a layer of warm light, there is a strange feeling in his heart in the bud, he didn't think about it, and suddenly blurted out a question to her: "Ye Jin, what do you want most?" ”
"What do I want most?" She thought seriously, "I'm very greedy, I want a lot of things, I want my father to stop gambling and go home on time every day, I want my mother's illness to get better, I want Xiang'er to grow up happily and marry someone I like in the future." ”
"What about yourself?"
"Myself...... I want to have a small house, a field of flowers, and a room full of sunshine, the house doesn't need to be very wide, it just allows me to play hide and seek with myself occasionally, the flower field doesn't need to be big, just look at it, just fill my sight, the sun doesn't need to be very bright, just warm my bed. ”
Ying Shangrong listened quietly, lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking, the sky was getting dark, the night breeze was a little cool, a bright moon hung in the sky, Ye Jin's stomach made an inopportune grunt, she held her stomach in embarrassment, and then remembered that she even forgot to eat and came out.
"Come, I'll take you to eat."
The shadow carried her on the horse, and quickly shuttled through the grass, disappearing into the night. There was a wind in her ears that swept very fast, and in addition to the wind, there was also the heartbeat from his chest, one by one, slow and low, and she pillowed his heartbeat, so steady that she wanted to sleep.
So she really fell asleep.
When she woke up, the sky was already slightly bright, and she found herself pillowed on his legs, and there were still faint stains under the corners of his mouth, and his black coat covered her, the lingering fragrance, the faint warmth, and the coolness of dawn she didn't even feel at all. She raised her head, looking at the blue sky with a pair of clear eyes, she asked curiously, "What are you looking at?" ”
"I watched the stars all night, you snored all night, and drooled all night, and besides, you look so thin, so heavy, my legs are numb." Ying Shangrong chuckled, patted Ye Jin's head, and pulled her up: "Okay, it's going to be dawn, I'll send you home." ”
Ye Jin was immersed in her memories, and she didn't come back to her senses until Meng Siyao pushed her so much that she almost didn't roll down the steps.
"Your Highness doesn't have time to see you, go back!"
"Impossible." Ye Jin stubbornly walked inside, he knew how important the antidote was to her, how could he not see her?
Meng Siyao was angry, and raised her hand to slap her: "Presumptuous!" You dare to break into the prince's mansion! ”
Ye Jin caught her palm waving: "Miss Meng, I know I offended you before, but it was all a long time ago, and it's just a trivial matter, why do you have to embarrass me like this?" ”
Meng Siyao grabbed Ye Jin's collar and roared: "It's just a trivial matter? Do you know I've never been so disgraced in my life? How dare you tell me it's a trifle?
The wound on his neck was soaked in rainwater, and it was already hot and painful, but when she pulled it at the moment, Ye Jin's brain turned white, and she didn't want to raise her hand and slap Meng Siyao's face, staring at her eyes coldly: "I'm a dying person, I'm not afraid of offending you, let alone offending the prince, I must go in today, if you are willing to tear me up here like a shrew in the market, I am also willing to accompany you." ”
After speaking, she pushed away the stunned Meng Siyao and walked in resolutely, but she was stopped just after entering the door, this time, it was a kind old woman who stopped her.
"You are Miss Ye, Your Highness is asleep now, it's really inconvenient to see you, you can go back, Your Highness has already sent someone to deliver what you want."
Ye Jin was stunned and sent someone to send it? Send someone to deliver medicine, but avoid her? She faintly realized something unusual, and asked hesitantly, "Your Highness, is he...... You okay? ”
"Your Highness is fine, just a little tired and still resting, so it's inconvenient to see you, not to mention that you are also anxious to save your father? Go back quickly, we'll talk about it later. ”
Meng Siyao rushed to speak impatiently: "I told you that Your Highness was tired last night, and he hasn't woken up yet, hurry up!"
Ye Jin ignored her, knelt down and kowtowed to the old woman to thank her, and ran all the way back.
In Ming Zisu's bedroom, there was a very strong charcoal fire in the August sky, and the servants who served in the house were sweating, but the person on the couch was wearing a plain white bedclothes, with a slightly open neckline, revealing the pale and almost transparent skin inside, but he was shivering in the heat of the room, his lips were as pale as paper, his eyes were dilated and difficult to see, and his breath was so weak that it seemed to disappear at any time, but even so, he was still trying his best to cheer up, and asked weakly: "Has the antidote been delivered?" ”
"Your Highness, don't worry, Fang Zhou has already sent it, but Miss Ye is just about to come in......"
"Nope! Don't let her in......" Mingzi Su was anxious, with a weak cough, "It's going to scare her, that stupid girl...... Let's just say I'm asleep...... It's not convenient to see her......"
Outside the door, Yu Sang flashed in, knelt on the ground, hesitated and didn't dare to reply: "Your Highness......"
"If you have something to say, don't say it."
"Yes, Fang Zhou sent the medicine and didn't come back for an hour, his subordinates went to look for it, and found his body halfway, the antidote is missing, the subordinates just came back from the Ye family, and the old man Ye has died of poison."
Mingzi Su froze for a moment, his suddenly clenched fist could be clearly defined, and the blood was almost invisible under the translucent skin, and his whole person rolled down from the couch, curled up and lay on the ground, a mouthful of blood spurted out, dyed his pale lips red, and a plain white robe was a little red and dazzling, like a shocking vermilion splash ink painting, he trembled his eyelids, closed his eyes and squeezed out a very bitter smile: "She's afraid that if she hates me for the rest of her life......"
