Chapter 39: The Burning White Lotus

"I see," Mei Xiyuan said, and also stretched out her hand to soothe and touch Ling'er's head, but Ling'er suddenly retreated, and then hurriedly hid behind Yi Shangyun and hid most of her body, only revealing half of her small face, and her eyes showed an expression of horror or disgust.

"Ling'er, don't be rude, hurry up and say hello to the princess" Yi Shangyun saw Ling'er's rude behavior and blamed.

After a while, I saw Ling'er reluctantly and slowly walked forward from behind Shangyun, knelt down and saluted in that immature and innocent voice as crisp as a silver bell, "Ling'er greets Princess Qin."

Seeing this, Mei Xiyuan hurriedly stepped forward and bent down to help Xiao Ling'er up, and finally touched her head and said, "Ling'er is so well-behaved, she looks so cute, since His Royal Highness allows you to live in the palace temporarily, then you will come to this princess to play more in the future, and this princess will also feel more lively, okay?" ”

Ling'er didn't answer her, and shrank back behind Yishangyun together.

Yi Shangyun was helpless, so he could only thank her for "The princess is so good, it is Ling'er's blessing to be loved by the princess, Ling'er will definitely come to disturb her more in the future, and I hope that the princess will not blame her."

"The woman of clothes and medicine is serious," Mei Xiyuan also smiled and said politely.

"It's not too early, the slave maid is still in a hurry to go back to the palace to report to the imperial pharmacy on an errand, so I won't bother the princess, and I will have the opportunity to come again another day to say goodbye to Princess Qin" Yi Shangyun looked at the sky and said goodbye to Mei Xiyuan.

"Then you should be careful all the way, you must come to the palace more often in the future," Mei Xiyuan said with concern.

"Well, the slave and the princess will not give up," Yi Shangyun said goodbye to Lu Tianjiao beside Mei Xiyuan at the same time, and then took Ling'er's little hand and walked towards the gate of the palace.

Soon arrived at the gate of the Qin Palace, Yi Shangyun turned around and squatted down, took Ling'er's immature little hands and said, "Ling'er, you and your grandmother will have to live in this palace for a while in the future, Princess Qin is the heroine of the palace, do you understand?" ”

Seeing that Ling'er was silent, she continued to look into her eyes earnestly and said, "You must be obedient and obedient, so that the master will like it; If the master likes it, your life will be better; Your life is better, your father and mother will be at ease, and you can safely wait here for them to come back and reunite with the family, you know? ”

"But sister, everyone in the palace thinks that the person His Royal Highness King Qin likes is you, not the princess, why does King Qin want to marry that princess instead of you, sister?" Yi Shangyun was suddenly surprised that Ling'er would say such a thing.

She panicked for a moment, looked around and saw that there was no one around. Only then did he fiercely admonish Ling'er and said, "Don't talk nonsense, who is His Royal Highness King Qin, and what is my sister's identity, this is blasphemy against His Highness, do you know?" In the world, only a noble-born golden branch and jade leaf like Princess Dongning is worthy of His Royal Highness, and this kind of thing must not be said again in the future, remember? ”

Ling'er still looked unimpressed, but had to mumble, "Ling'er remembers"

"Okay, remember my sister's words, take care of your grandma, my sister is gone" Although Yi Shangyun was reluctant to let go of this poor little girl, she also knew that she was a person who could not help herself, and it was difficult for the mud bodhisattva to cross the river.

"Sister, will my father and mother come back safely?" Ling'er asked suddenly.

"Yes, of course, Ling'er, you must believe them, so you have to be obedient and wait here obediently" Yi Shangyun comforted her.

"Ling'er knows, Sister Yun, don't worry, I will be obedient, take care of my grandmother, and don't let you and your father worry about Ling'er" Ling'er seemed to be brave and authentic.

"Well, that's right. No matter what happens in the future, Ling'er must be a brave girl and remember her sister's words" Yi Shangyun said, his eyes were full of tears, and he hurriedly got up and ran out, just afraid that if he stopped for a second longer, he would not be able to stop crying in front of this innocent child.

How embarrassing it must be to teach a seven-year-old girl to be strong, but she burst into tears first.

Yishangyun had already left, but Xiao Ling'er was still standing in place and looking at her departing back, at this time, Xuanyuan Han, who was hiding in the corner of the wall and listening to the sad farewell of the two, walked out and stroked Ling'er's head with a big hand full of security.

Ling'er looked up and saw that it was Xuanyuan Han, and she actually showed a reproachful look at him and asked, "Your Royal Highness King Qin, why are you marrying Princess Dongning instead of Sister Yun?" ”

Xuanyuan Han had a complicated expression when he heard this, but he didn't know how to answer the question that the child asked at this time. Yes, maybe he really shouldn't have agreed to Emperor Jing's peace at the beginning, but now......

In the end, he had to say to Ling'er, "Ling'er is good, when you grow up, you will naturally understand that there are many things in life that are unexpected", Ling'er looked puzzled, and then Xuanyuan Han took his little hand and turned around and walked towards the apse of the palace.

At this time, Mei Xiyuan and Lu Tianjiao sent away Yi Shangyun and returned to Shaohua Pavilion again.

In the cold winter, there is a cold and snowy land everywhere outside. But the inside of the house is full of warmth, and the warmth of the room is like spring.

The best smokeless charcoal in the charcoal brazier exudes a charming temperature in the cold winter after burning, Mei Xiyuan is wearing the most luxurious fox white robe specially prepared for entering the palace in the morning, and the two of them chatted happily with tea and fruit snacks.

Lu Tianjiao said to Mei Xiyuan, "It turned out to be Sister Mei's treatment, Sister Mei said that she was a clever girl, and this woman is quite skilled in medicine."

Mei Xiyuan listened and said with some suspicion in her heart, "It's her, does my sister also recognize this woman?" ”

Lu Tianjiao's eyes rolled and said, "Sister, this woman, I'm afraid that everyone in the Qin Palace's mansion knows about it, and everyone knows about it."

Mei Xiyuan suddenly felt that there was something in Lu Tianjiao's words, so she said, "Oh, what my sister said is true." If my sister knows something, I might as well say it bluntly and tell my sister about it."

Lu Tianjiao suddenly put away his thoughts and said, "My sister doesn't know, and my sister is also hearsay." My sister doesn't know where to start, presumably after a long time in the Qin Palace, my sister will slowly know about it."

After speaking, Lu Tianjiao looked out the window at the sky and said, "Sister Mei, it's not early, my sister should leave to go back to the academy with my brother" After speaking, he got up.

Mei Xiyuan looked suspicious when she heard this, but Lu Tianjiao was reluctant to say, and it was inconvenient for her to continue to ask, so she also got up and said, "In this case, my sister will have to come to the palace often to visit my sister in the future, and it is good to walk around more."

"That's natural, if my sister disturbs my sister in the future, I hope my sister won't be weird," Lu Tianjiao said politely.

Mei Xiyuan: "How could it be, my sister wishes my sister would come often"

"It's cold outside, my sister is unwell, so I don't have to go out to see each other" Lu Tianjiao was about to go out after speaking, but suddenly turned around and added a sentence, "The so-called heart of harming people is indispensable, and the heart of preventing people is indispensable, and my sister needs to pay more attention to herself in the future."

Mei Xiyuan felt that there was something wrong with her words, but she said straightly, "Thank you, sister for reminding."

At this time, Lu Tianjiao smiled at Mei Xiyuan before slowly moving out.

Mei Xiyuan was stunned for a long time, and secretly said to herself, "Clothes are on the clouds, no one in the Qin Mansion knows, no one knows"

"Mama Zhao, go and inquire about this princess" After a long time, Mei Xiyuan frowned and ordered Mama Zhao on the side.

"Don't worry, the princess, the old slave must be clear" Mama Zhao gritted her teeth and swore to receive the order, with a fierce look in her eyes.

In the city of the Western Qin Kingdom, the Lu brothers and sisters of the Western Qin Academy were riding a carriage all the way to the south, galloping back to the academy.

It was getting late, and when I passed by an inn, I stopped to prepare for a night's stay and continued my journey at dawn.

"Shopkeeper, please help us prepare two first-class rooms, a table of wine and food, and then arrange someone to take care of the carriage outside and replenish it, we have to hurry at dawn tomorrow morning"

Lu Tianlin arranged everything and sat down next to Lu Tianjiao, who was waiting on the side.

Lu Tianlin sat down and glanced at Lu Tianjiao, frowned and said, "Sister, you are so bold and willful, how many times has my brother reminded you before going to the Qin Palace." His Royal Highness King Qin has been married, what else do you want? ”

"Why did my brother say this, my sister didn't understand what my brother said," Lu Tianjiao replied with an expressionless face.

"Don't understand? Then what do you mean by saying to Your Highness? His Royal Highness is a member of the Western Qin Imperial Family, do you know," Lu Tianlin said in a tone close to reprimanding.

"What if he's from the Western Qin royal family?" Lu Tianjiao didn't show weakness at all.

Lu Tianlin saw that she had never repented, and said angrily, "Children of the royal family, how can you let yourself in the marriage matter." Which one is not the first to be a chess piece used by the royal family to consolidate the country?"

"So what" Lu Tianjiao still refused to admit his mistake.

"How? Since you all know, why do you have to ask Your Highness if you like Princess Yongle or not. Since they are already husband and wife, what do you do if you like it or not?"

Lu Tianlin was still worried about his sister questioning this sentence in front of the Venerable King Qin. This sister really made him feel uneasy.

Lu Tianlin knew very well that the so-called childhood sweetheart in Lu Tianjiao's heart and mouth was actually just wishful thinking on the part of this sister, and the noble god of war King Qin was not a thing in the pool, so how could he fall in love with a woman like his sister who was ordinary and had a pair of skins at most.

"Guest, your wine and food are ready, please use it slowly" At this time, the store brought a table of hot wine and food, and the brother and sister looked at it, but no one started to eat first.

Finally, Lu Tianlin couldn't help but say this sentence that extremely hurt Lu Tianjiao's self-esteem, "Sister, who do you like is not good, you have to like an impossible person." You yourself know that this is just your own wishful thinking all along."

Hearing this, Lu Tianjiao immediately stood up and said, "Enough, don't worry about my business, take care of yourself." Can't you see His Highness's thoughts about the concubine of the Yi family who you retired from at that time? ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Tianjiao turned around and rushed out of the door, and disappeared in the already somewhat hazy night in an instant.

"The daughter of the Yi family... Dressed in the clouds... His Royal Highness the King of Qin, he ...... thoughts about Yishangyun" Lu Tianlin was startled by his sister's roar, but he pondered the words that his sister had dropped.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible, the ugly girl of the Yi family, waste wood, how could His Highness ...... him" Lu Tianlin muttered to himself, shaking his head in disbelief.

He suddenly realized that Lu Tianjiao hadn't eaten for a day, so he looked up in the direction she left, but it was already empty, he sighed and ate by himself.

In the pavilion by a small river not far from the inn, Lu Tianjiao ran out of the inn after being reprimanded by Lu Tianlin, and was sitting in the pavilion at the moment with pear blossoms and rain sobbing sadly.

"Wishful thinking, self-inflicted, Lu Tianjiao, Lu Tianjiao, in vain, you are still the eldest lady of Xiqin Academy, knowledgeable, beautiful, and famous. Now he is so humiliated," Lu Tianjiao said through gritted teeth.

"I hate, hate, why? Why are you all doing this to me, what the hell have I done wrong. Your Highness... Brother Han, why do you regard the pride of the sky as a mustard and abandon it like a shoe?"

"No, I, Lu Tianjiao, was born noble, how can I let you call and linger. I can't just throw in the towel. Hum...... Princess Qin, clothes are on the clouds, you forced me, you forced me" Lu Tianjiao shouted as if he was crazy.

On a cold night like winter, she didn't seem to feel cold at all. At this time, she almost lost her mind, and her whole body seemed to be burned by hatred, burned by hatred, and her whole body was hot, as if only in this cold world could she find a little comfortable temperature and make herself feel better.

And at this moment, a strange figure flashed out of the dark night, who are you?

......
