Suddenly, an abrupt voice came from behind Concubine Ling, startling her slightly.

Hurriedly wiping away her tears, Concubine Ling turned her head to look and found that it was Mo Lin who had climbed the boulder at some point, and was poking her head out to ask her.

Although among the younger generation of the imperial aristocratic circle, Mo Lin is an extremely outstanding figure, but in the alliance of these three forces, it is still led by Concubine Ling's Oulai family, so whether it is big or small, it needs to be judged and nodded by Concubine Ling.

From this point, Maureen is clearly doing a good job.

"No, wait a little longer, the fog in the forest is too great in the morning, and most of the soldiers haven't recovered yet, I'm afraid something will go wrong."

After listening to Mo Lin's question, Concubine Ling slowed down her tone as much as possible and replied.

But even so, there was inevitably a hint of hoarseness and trembling in her voice.

Hearing her inappropriateness, Morin frowned slightly, then put on a very gentle smile and said softly: "Still thinking about your subordinates?" ”

When the words fell, I saw Concubine Ling's breath stagnate, and then she turned her head and did not answer.

Seeing that she was silent, Morin shook his head and sighed, then stepped forward and climbed a few steps, and said softly: "Otherwise, I'll talk to you." ”

Hearing this, Concubine Ling's body stiffened, and after a long while, she shook her head and said with a forced smile: "No, I'll be fine soon, thank you, Brother Molin." ”

"Well, don't be too sad, I think the purpose of the Lan family's action this time is mostly just a demonstration, after all, they are all people in the same circle, and the other party can't do things too desperately, and your knights may not die."

"I hope so."

Mo Lin persuaded a few more words, then turned his head and walked down from the boulder, before leaving, he glanced back at Concubine Ling's slender back, and a trace of indescribable things flashed in his eyes, as if he was a little unwilling and a little complicated.

At this time, Concubine Ling didn't notice Mo Lin's expression, she still hugged her knees tightly, and when she couldn't hear any sound behind her, she looked up at the sky in a daze, and a different picture appeared in her mind again.

"Little Pepper, you're thinking about life again!"

"Shall I talk to you?"

A voice that made her miss sounded in her head, and at this moment, her thoughts seemed to return to the bustling and noisy imperial capital a few years ago.

That time happened to be the most difficult period in her life, and the person who made her miss her to this day would be by her side almost every time she was sad, making her cry, making her laugh, almost insisting on herself, and letting her survive that difficult time.

At that time, she remembered, her father was bent on marrying her to the behemoth of the Empire, the only son of the Lofen family.

Fortunately, under her father's constant running and painstaking management, the current patriarch of the Luo Fin family, the imperial prime minister who monopolized the power of the empire, Lord Duke Erwin, also really acquiesced to this marriage.

Concubine Ling remembered how excited, proud, and proud she was that night when her father returned home with a spring breeze on his face and announced the news to the clansmen.

It was as if, at that moment, she had become the center of the entire empire.

At that time, she was still a traditional aristocratic girl who put her family first, and she didn't have any idea of taking the initiative to choose her future partner, and she didn't care about the other party's appearance, character, or even age.

The only thing she cares about is the other person's background.

In the concept of many aristocratic girls, only the background of the marriage partner is the focus of the focus, and the rest is not important.

As the daughter of a noble family, the only great thing she can do in her life is to marry a family that is as noble as possible for the benefit of the family, so as to repay her family and make her more and more powerful for her own reasons, which is a responsibility, an obligation, and an honor, and the stronger the family, the more so.

In the circle of noblewomen in the imperial capital, this has even become the bragging capital of most married women.

This is true of all the daughters of aristocratic families, and the same is true of Concubine Ling, who grew up in the imperial capital since she was a child.

Because of this, when it was rumored in the imperial capital that her Concubine Ling was about to marry into the Luo Fen family and become the granddaughter-in-law of the imperial prime minister, the daughter-in-law of the head of the royal guard regiment, and the duchess of the next generation, she almost really became the focus of everyone's attention in the entire imperial capital.

Concubine Ling remembered that during that time, in the courtyard of their Ou Lai family's mansion, almost every moment in and out of the dignitaries in the imperial capital, those big nobles who were not closely related on weekdays, with flattering smiles, befriended everyone in the Ou Lai family under various pretexts, even some high-ranking officials and nobles who disdained to have no real power like the Ou Lai family, and even some high-ranking officials and nobles who had bad relations and had contradictions, all changed their attitudes on weekdays and became frequent visitors to the Ou Lai family.

Even the three princes had their own secret meetings with her father!

At that time, she was simply the hero of the Ole family, the focus of everyone's favor, like a bright pearl, rising and being held in people's hands.

At that time, she fell asleep with a smile almost every day, and then woke up with a smile, every day and every day, she was so happy--- as long as she married into the Lofen family, with the power of the Lofen family, their Ole family would definitely become the next behemoth in the imperial capital, and she didn't need to continue to worry about things in the family at all, her future husband would easily take care of everything, as long as she stepped into the door of the Lofen family, then the rest of her life would be able to spend the rest of her life carefree!

Not to mention, her marriage partner is still a teenager of her age, even a year younger than her, and her appearance is even more handsome, which is a great luck for her, even if that person's reputation in the imperial capital is not very good!

Concubine Ling once thought that maybe her whole life would pass in this kind of happiness and brilliance, but this beautiful life did not last as long as she wanted.

To be precise, I didn't even get it for a month.

At a feast attended by almost the entire imperial capital, her father publicly proposed the marriage to Duke Erwin in public.

On that day, she was actually there.

She could not resist the anticipation and excitement in her heart that day, disguised herself as a servant of the house, and secretly followed behind her father, and she clearly remembered that just as Duke Erwin was smiling and about to say yes, the door of the banquet hall was opened without warning, and then, through it, a burly shadow entered.

Fest. Sifevers.

The Imperial Marshal, the Duke who was in charge of half of the empire with Duke Erwin, Concubine Ling knew the identity of that person from the mouth of others almost immediately.

When Duke Fest entered the banquet hall, he walked straight in the direction of Duke Erwin and her father, and then stopped, and said his intentions bluntly.

He was going to marry his granddaughter to the grandson of Duke Erwin.

Miss Katerina, who is known as one of the three best in the empire, wants to marry her fiancé.

Duke Erwin agreed.

Although his face was not very good-looking at the time.

What her father's face looked like at that time, Concubine Ling couldn't remember.

She only remembered that the banquet hall at that time was so quiet, so terrifyingly quiet, that it made her fall into the abyss.

Almost everyone's eyes were on her father, and after a brief shock, she could only bow her head deeply, afraid that others would recognize her disguise, and forcibly held back the tears in her eyes, the pain of her heart being torn, and the discomfort of her face burning purple, and followed her father who was equally embarrassed.

She thought that it was a nightmare, and she hoped that when she woke up the next day, life would be just as good, and the door of the Loving House was still open for her alone.

It's just that her wish obviously can't come true.

On the second day, she was rejected by the Luffin family, and the news that the other party married the Sifes family spread throughout the streets and alleys of the imperial capital.

The former pearl has fallen, and the gossip about her has spread to every corner of the imperial capital, and even when she occasionally goes out, she receives some ridicule and contempt.

The courtyard of Ole's house, which was originally full of people, has become crowded.

She fell from the clouds with her father, her family.

It was also during that time that she developed the habit of being sad alone, and whenever the inner pressure accumulated to a certain extent, she would find a place where no one was, cry quietly, alone, and then after tears, she appeared in front of her father with a smile again, because she knew that her father's heart was as painful as her, or even worse than her, and she did not want to let her father's pain deepen again because of her performance.

And it was during that time that she met the person whose name she still didn't know, but who had been firmly engraved in her heart.

Concubine Ling clearly remembered that it was an evening, and she was habitually holding her legs alone and huddled on the roof of the second floor of a restaurant.

A thin but tall figure stumbled past her feet, saw her by chance, and then said the first thing he said to her.

"Hell!"
