After the end of the day, at the end of the night, after sleeping with the forest, Ning Yu quietly paced to the Flower Pavilion Terrace, frowning sadly and sadly, sad and tired, thinking of the bitter time leaning on the railing with tears in his eyes, sobbing ripples, when he raised his eyes, he saw the sporadic dim veil covering the moon, and when he looked down, he saw the flowers falling red and the stumps were thin, which made his heart overflow with bitterness and sorrow, and he hid his face and cried.

At the beginning of this night, Ning Yu was sad day and night, depressed and unhappy, she was already silent, she became more and more silent and cold, often locked herself in the cold and lonely room and sat quietly, thinking blankly, crying secretly, just put the pen, ink, paper, inkstone, pen inscription, book, and locked everything in the cabinet.

Ning Yu had instructed Sanjiu to pay more attention to Xiang Lin's movements, and not to tell others what he had told that day, but the delicate-minded Ruolan still felt that something was wrong from Ning Yu's unusual behavior, and then interrogated Sanjiu why this was so, although the honest and upright Sanjiu didn't want to watch Ning Yu practice himself all day long but had no idea, and thought that although Ruolan likes to bully herself on weekdays, she is clever and intelligent, and she hesitates to tell the truth and beg her to get an idea.

"You still want to hide it from me like you look like a pig, hum!" Ruolan complained angrily, and Sanjiu hurriedly said: "Yu Niang won't let me dare to say anything..." Ruolan said: "It's really useless, hum!" Sanjiu said: "Then what should I do now, if I continue like this, Yu Niang will have to get seriously ill." Ruolan complained, "Bah, bah! Yu Niang is like this, and you still curse her, it's really heartless! Sanjiu Yan: "Where did I curse Yu Niang, isn't this worrying about me..."Ruolan Yan: "Forget it, I can't think of any way with your pig's head, or I'll think about it..."

But said that the drunken immortal building not only did not make Zheng Shijie give up, but made him obsessed with his determination to die, the only thing that made him feel palpitations was that Xiang Lin might one day fight with himself in order to protect Ziying, so as to evoke Ziying's past memories, and then all the efforts would be in vain, and he would never get Ziying.

Zheng Shijie knows Xiang Lin's temperament, and Drunken Xianlou understands his deep affection for Ziying for a while, because of this, Zheng Shijie's worries are more and more disturbing, and he also hates Xiang Lin who is suddenly between him and Ziying, and now he is thinking about how to get rid of this stumbling block.

One day, Zheng Shijie summoned the attendant Pang Feng to interrogate and inspect the recent situation, and after Pang Feng reported in his ear, Zheng Shijie frowned and nodded, and then instructed him carefully, and Pang Feng was ordered to retreat. At night, Zheng Shijie found Ziying's room alone, the candles in the room were lit but there was no maid, Ziying was lying in front of the bookcase to trace and paint.

Zheng Shijie changed his face and knocked on the door, Ziyingsan asked who he didn't answer, so he hid the painting, got up and opened the door, and saw Zheng Shijie standing in front of the steps with a smile on his face.

"It's getting late, and the little woman is about to rest from sleepiness, Lord Zheng, please go back." Ziying said lightly with a cold face, and was about to close the door to thank the guests, Zheng Shijie hurriedly greeted him, "Lady is slow, the contemptible person really has something important to tell me about coming so late, and I hope the lady will let me say something." Ziying said deliberately: "I'm not interested in officialdom, so I don't bother to talk about it." Zheng Shijie hurriedly stopped at the door again, "It's not a matter of officialdom, it's just that this matter has a lot to do with the lady, so the contemptible people came to repay him." ”

Ziying asked what was the matter again, and Zheng Shijie smiled at the corner of his mouth, "This matter is secret, can I talk about it when I enter the house?" Ziying hesitated and let him into the house.

"You and I will be gossiped about when we are in the same room at night, and it is better to say what the adults have to say as soon as possible." Ziying turned his back and didn't want to look at him, Zheng Shijie said: "Don't worry, lady, you won't delay much..." Ziying was stunned, "Pingshui has met and seen a few times... Why did you mention him? Ziying was a little apprehensive in her heart.

"What does the lady think of this person?"

"Ziying has only met him a few times, and he has no friendship, and as for his temperament, he really doesn't dare to make judgments."

"That being the case, the contemptible person talked to the lady about him..."Zheng Shijie got up and paced in small steps, Ziying pondered, "Don't work for the adult's mouth, the little woman has no intention of understanding this person." Zheng Shijie frowned and shook his head and sighed, "Alas! It is difficult to know the face of the person, the lady does not know, this Xu Xianglin looks dignified on the surface, elegant and polite, but in fact he is dignified, different on the outside, and is a treacherous and evil person. ”

Ziying was shocked when she heard this, and pondered for a moment before she said: "I have heard that Xu Gongzi is erudite and talented, elegant and easy-going, affectionate and righteous, and everyone in the house knows it. Zheng Shijie laughed when he heard this, "Contemptible people are by no means slander and slander, but I knew each other with Xu Xiang Lin Nai in my early years, and I couldn't be clearer about what kind of person he is." With that, he slowly sat down and took a sip of tea.

Ziying was stunned again, turned around and frowned and hurriedly asked, "My lord actually knows Xu Gongzi?" Zheng Shijie smiled at the corner of his mouth, "Don't worry, listen to me slowly." Zheng Shijie slowly told the story that had been planned for a long time, and naturally there would be no mention of Dongyang Academy and anyone who might evoke Ziying's memory in his speech. Ziying was shocked when she heard this, and it was hard to believe, "No, no, I don't believe that Xu Gongzi would be such a person..."

Zheng Shijie looked at the opportunity to get up and said: "Now he is married to Fan Ningyu, the daughter of the prime minister of the dynasty, and he will become the prime minister's son-in-law in one step, it is really unfair in heaven, and the villain has the ambition..."Ziying was taken aback when he heard this, "What? Xu Gongzi turned out.. You have already married a wife?! Zheng Shijie pretended to be surprised and said, "The lady doesn't know??" Ziying's heart tingled and her limbs were weak, and then she slowly slumped down at the table, her demented eyes filled with sadness and loss.

Since he threw himself under the Assassin History, Xiang Lin has hardly said anything about his family except for occasionally mentioning Ning Yu in front of Xiao Zong, and the other guests also know that Xiang Lin has not only been a teacher in the Prime Minister's Mansion, but also the son-in-law of Prime Minister Fan Yi.

However, Xiao Zong only cares about gathering with all the guests all day long, and rarely asks about Hakka family affairs, and the families are also bent on pleasing Xiao Zong, and there is no gossip, so that few people in the house know about it, and no one mentions it, and it will be forgotten as the days go by.

Fu Lianzhao was sick before, Ziying put all her thoughts on Fu Lianzhao, and she didn't have any energy to ask about other trivial matters, and the slaves never gossiped about something that didn't annoy her, let alone think of saying something about Xiang Lin, so in Ziying's shallow memory, Xiang Lin was just a talented person who was exiled to Yanzhou for committing a crime.

Xiang Lin deliberately avoided Ziying in order not to expose his identity and cause trouble, and later Fu Lianzhao died a few times, but he only said some words of concern and comfort. After Ziying's cold illness recovered, Xiang Lin decided not to disturb him again, but Zheng Shijie's appearance made him worried, and this worry became more intense after he learned about Zheng Shijie and Ziying's past.

It was difficult to feel at ease Xiang Lin to meet Ziying again, but Ziying seemed to be honest with him and secretly showed his feelings, which made Xiang Lin even more guilty and remorseful, but he was not ashamed to tell Ziying that he was already a person with a wife, which caused Ziying to misunderstand.

"This is true..."Ziying, who was relieved to come back to his senses, asked in a daze, Zheng Shijie's calculation has become a smug in his heart, "Contemptible people don't dare to talk nonsense, if the lady doesn't believe it, she can invite him to the house tomorrow to ask." Ziying's eyes were filled with tears and said lightly, "No need... I am not related to him, and I have only met a few times in Pingshui, and everything about him has nothing to do with me..."

Zheng Shijie also wanted to take advantage of this to add fuel and vinegar, but Ziying really couldn't listen to it anymore, so he interrupted: "You don't need to say it anymore... The little woman is tired..."Zheng Shijie smiled thoughtfully, "Oops! Contemptible people only care about talking but forget the time, forgive me... The contemptible person said goodbye, and the lady rested..."After saying that, he smiled and withdrew from the room.

After Zheng Shijie left, Ziying closed the door and slowly walked to the bookcase, and after thinking about it, he slowly put the painting pressed under the book in front of him, and the portrait on the painting was Xiang Lin.

Ziying stared at the portrait in a daze and burst into tears, and after a while, it was really difficult to hold back the tears, and the tears were like beads with broken threads wetting the neat and exquisite portrait, and then she ruthlessly led the portrait to the candle flame, and burned it clean with the deep affection hidden in her heart.
