Chapter 429: The First Love
There was an ominous premonition, from the moment Lin Yaoyue saw the long-ago clay pot, it suddenly rose from the bottom of her heart.
"Linlang, why are you here? Your current identity is inconvenient to step into the gate of the Zhenguo General's Mansion. When I was in prison, I heard the message you sent. So you-"
Don't suddenly hold the memories of the two of us when we were children in front of me.
Lin Yaoyue couldn't say the second half of the sentence, but she was still a little dizzy and kept muttering. Because she was afraid that Mu Linlang would speak before her, and what she said when she opened her mouth was probably something she couldn't bear at all.
Seeing Lin Yaoyue's anxious tone, Mu Lin's gentle smile was exchanged, "Yaoyue, I'm going to get married." β
Suddenly, these seven words shook Lin Yaoyue's heart.
"With whom?" Lin Yaoyue frowned.
But Mu Linlang tightened the clay pot that represented his childhood memories in his hand, and said softly, "Heqin Chiyan." β
"Tuoba Haoββ?" Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but hold Mu Linlang's wrist all of a sudden, but in exchange for Mu Linlang nodded with a light smile.
Not far away, Lin Yaoyue seemed to vaguely see her brother's figure. I guess I was worried about my mother and myself, so I turned back from the barracks.
But the next moment, before Lin Yaoyue could call Lin Zhenyu's name, he pursed his lips and left the small pavilion in the middle of the lake.
Lin Yaoyue felt herself swallow heavily. And Mu Linlang in the sunset smiled lightly and handed over the clay pot to himself.
"I'm sorry Yaoyue, I can't keep our previous agreement. Find a beloved husband, and be beautiful. It's okay to hang a little door with each other, chat about the day, and go shopping on the street together. When it's time to have children, let them play happily together like we did when we were young, and we chatted comfortably on the sidelines, watching them smile as innocently as we did when we were young, until we are old......
I'm sorry, Yaoyue. Saying that, Mu Linlang sobbed silently and put the clay pot in his hand on the stone table beside him, and hugged Lin Yaoyue tightly. Tears flowed from her beautiful eyes.
And Lin Yaoyue's heart seemed to be crumpled at this time, but she couldn't shed a single tear.
She caressed Mu Linlang's body trembling from crying, and when the words reached her throat, she only felt bitter, and finally she asked, "What about my brother?"
Linlang, you don't have to lie to me, the person you actually like in your heart is still Lin Zhenyu, right?"
Hearing this, Mu Linlang hugged Lin Yaoyue tightly and did not let go. Her fingertips clenched into fists trembled uncontrollably, and tears had completely wet Lin Yaoyue's collar.
And what is reflected in the depths of Mu Linlang's memory at this moment is a handsome young man, fresh clothes and angry horses, and full of spirit. His flying eyebrows, handsome eyes, and a pair of inky starry eyes are as bright as the sun.
From the moment she first saw him, she fell in love with the boy who was brighter than the sun. It seems that you only need to look at a person to know at a glance that he is the person you have been looking for all your life.
Under the dappled sunlight, his bright and sunny smiling face came into his heart, and from then on, this heart beat faster because of him alone. She had thought he was the same, but she felt that when she looked at him, he looked back at her just as deeply.
But when she bravely took that step, or step by step, she found that all this was just her own love.
"When we were young, we fell in love with someone and wanted to give everything we had for them. I was also naΓ―ve to think that as long as I gave all my sincerity, I would always get a response. But I forgot that not all affection can be reciprocal. β
Mu Linlang seemed to sigh, and immediately, she let go of the embrace that held Lin Yaoyue, and smiled lightly, "I decided to marry Tuoba Hao, in exchange for the friendship between Dawan and Chiyan and Qin and Jin." β
Hearing this, Lin Yaoyue was stunned at first, but the next moment she grabbed Mu Linlang's arms, "Don't do it for me, Linlang, this is not what you should do." It is very likely that he will not be able to go back to Dawan for the rest of his life. What's more, how can Da Wan and Chi Yan be good with Qin and Jin forever, don't be deceived by the person above the high hall!!"
Lin Yaoyue was holding Mu Linlang's arm tightly at the moment, she couldn't let her make a decision that she would regret for the rest of her life.
But Mu Linlang smiled lightly, let go of Lin Yaoyue's fingers that were holding her arm, looked at Lin Yaoyue with a smile and said, "Your Majesty promised me that if I make peace with Qin Chiyan this time, I will transfer my father back from the east, and I can stay in the capital to live in the capital in the future." β
Lin Yaoyue felt that the hand she was holding by Mu Linlang was constantly trembling, "But what about you?" Tuoba Hao is a very unfathomable person. Moreover, Chiyan is a country where a brother dies and a brother marries his sister-in-law, so you will be a hundred times more painful than you think now. β
Lin Yaoyue's hands were clenched extremely tightly in an instant, if it weren't for reason pulling her at the moment, I am afraid that the next moment, she would rush into the palace and tell the emperor that she was willing to marry Tuoba Lian with Qin Chiyan, which was better than watching her best friend suffer.
All of this started because of myself. If it weren't for the fact that my mother escaped from Fanyun and went to the north. If it weren't for the news of the spiritual blood on his body, it leaked out. It won't attract any Chiyan Six Princes at all, what kind of envoy Tuoba Hao!
Immediately, Lin Yaoyue's fist slammed into the stone table on the side, and then she closed her eyes heavily in pain. But at this time, Mu Linlang gently covered her hand and said softly, "It's none of your business." I am atoning for my own previous recklessness. I'm also glad to have had such an opportunity. β
Hearing this, Lin Yaoyue only felt bitter in her throat that she couldn't speak, but she finally endured the strength that seemed to have been drained of her whole body and asked, "When?"
"Three days later, when the Xu family's family banquet is over, I will go to Chiyan with Tuoba Hao. β
"Don't you need to perform a national salute?" Lin Yaoyue's brows tightened, but Mu Linlang finally sighed, "It's a private deal between the emperor and Tuoba Hao." β
"I won't do it! I won't allow it! It is a very dangerous thing to not perform a national salute, and it is likely that your sacrifice will be worthless. β
But the next moment, Mu Linlang slapped Lin Yaoyue's face wrinkled with pain and anger with tears in her eyes, and she was speechless, "This is the price that Tuoba Haoken has to pay to go back and persuade Tuoba Lian, and I have no choice." β
"Yes, of course you have. It's my fault, not yours. Before Lin Yaoyue's words fell, she turned her head and left. But she was pulled by Mu Linlang, she looked at Lin Yaoyue deeply, not knowing whether she was crying or laughing, "That's why I don't want to tell you, silly girl." This is me taking responsibility for my previous indiscretions. And you, there is a man you love and love you waiting for you. So, let's live well in Dawan, take my share, and be happy. β
In an instant, Lin Yaoyue's whole body was as stiff as a stone, and her internal organs were tightly entangled together because of pain. And Mu Linlang gently picked up the clay pot on the stone table and gently stuffed it into her arms.
"Don't talk about these unpleasant things anymore. This should be the last time the two of us will see each other. After all, three days later, I was covered with that piece of Xipa on the sedan chair, you can't see me clearly, I can't see you clearly. β
Mu Linlang smiled gently. The eyes with tears in their eyes, because of the smile, are more and more bright and moving. But Lin Yaoyue was sad at the moment, tightening the clay pot she put in her hand.
For a while, there was a fierce and angry seed growing and sprouting in my heart. When night fell, looking at Mu Linlang's fading figure, Lin Yaoyue looked at the pieces of memories taken out of the clay pot, and the yellowed rice paper wrote their childhood dreams.
She gently opened the two pieces of paper. The ink on the two different handwriting gradually faded, but the same sentence was written, 'I hope to be with my best friend Lin Yaoyue (Mu Linlang) until I grow old.' Watch her marry the person she likes and give birth to a lovely baby. Then, when the destiny of heaven is finally returned, they will leave together. In the next life, in the next life, they will always be with each other, until they are old. β
For a moment, tears wet the two yellowed notes. Lin Yaoyue couldn't help but be stunned, and touched her cheek with trembling fingertips. But I found that Mu Linlang had a small paragraph below that long paragraph, 'Actually, Lord Tree God, Linlang has already found the person who is happy, and next, I ask you to bless him and rejoice Linlang.' But in this way, Linlang is the sister-in-law of that stupid Yue'er. Ha ha. It seems that we are destined to be a family and good friends for life. β
Suddenly, tears poured out like a burst of the embankment. Lin Yaoyue was crazy and wanted to catch up with Mu Linlang's footsteps. But it was too late, she could only stand outside the gate of the mansion and watch the palace sedan chair that Mu Linlang was sitting on disappear at the entrance of Chongrenfang.
The moon stars are rareββ
After Lin Yaoyue left Mu Linlang, she has been looking for her brother everywhere.
Eventually, she came to the wood lotus tree where the three of them played together when they were children, and found Lin Zhenyu, who was a little drunk on his handsome face.
I saw that his meticulous hair was a little messy in the past. He took off the general's armor and put it aside, lacking the fortitude and decisiveness of the past, no longer the usual tall and upright character like a protector, on the contrary, he is now like a helpless child. A helpless child who was taken away from his heart and beloved things.
"Brother, don't drink it. Lin Yaoyue stepped forward and snatched the wine jar from Lin Zhenyu's hand.
But Lin Zhenyu smiled at the moment, but smiled reluctantly, "It's okay, Yue'er, I can't get drunk with this little wine." β
Saying that, Lin Zhenyu reached out to reach the wine that Lin Yaoyue had taken away, but now he was sitting on the ground dejectedly, and Lin Yaoyue had already straightened up his squatting body. With a hint of pain in his eyes, he looked down at him.
"Go and chase Linlang back, brother. Lin Yaoyue's choked voice was about to dissipate in the warm wind.
