Chapter 228: Promise
"Ahh Lin Yingling sniffed and sneezed.
Immediately behind her, a big hand wrapped around her thin jade shoulder, "What's wrong?" But got a cold? Murong Xun's concerned voice sounded in his ears.
Lin Yingling shook her head, but her expression was a little sullen.
"Boredom at home? Why don't I take you out for a walk tomorrow?" Murong Xun stretched out his hand and rubbed Lin Yingling's delicate cheeks with his fingertips, and even his tone was extremely gentle.
"No, it's just that I had a dream during a nap in the afternoon, and I feel a little uncomfortable." Lin Yingling turned his head sideways, dodging Murong Xun's movements.
Murong Xun looked at Lin Yingling's melancholy face, and his brown eyes couldn't help but feel a little distressed, "What kind of dream did you have, tell me." β
Lin Yingling was waiting for Murong Xun's words, and as soon as Murong Xun's words fell, she hurriedly said: "I dreamed that my father was abused in prison, and he couldn't eat or sleep well, but I was enjoying Qingfu here......"
Lin Yingling's voice gradually began to choke, and a tear as clear as morning dew slid down her fair face, and her pitiful appearance made people feel pity involuntarily.
Murong Xun hugged Lin Yingling into his arms with a distressed face, "I have already said hello in prison, those people don't dare to treat my father-in-law harshly." β
"But so what? Wait until the autumn queen and my father is about to be beheaded, poor Yingsheng has no father and mother when he is so young, poor father raised me so big, and I am going to go before I have enjoyed my filial piety, I ......" Lin Yingling couldn't go on, just leaned on Murong Xun's arms and cried happily.
The cry of the person in his arms was like a knife, slowly, slowly cutting on Murong Xun's heart. Murong Xun couldn't help but increase the strength in his hand and hugged the person in his arms tighter, "I will take good care of Yingsheng, and I will never let him live worse than others." β
Of course she knew that, but that's not what she wanted! Lin Yingling shouted in her heart, but she still had to pretend to be heartbroken and continued: "Of course I know this, but how innocent is my father? My father was originally honest and honest in his life, but he later married the Sun family, and he took the wrong path under the instigation and temptation of the Sun family! But now that the Sun family is out of the matter, I don't know where to hide and live happily, but the poor father wants to bear the consequences alone, waiting to be beheaded, this is not fair! β
Lin Yingling's emotions gradually became excited, and then looking at the resentful appearance of the person in his arms, Murong Xun lowered his head and was silent - from the beginning when the person in his arms mentioned Lin Zhengjie, he already knew the thoughts of the person in his arms, but Lin Zhengjie was guilty of a serious crime, and the evidence was conclusive, or was it a crime ordered by the emperor himself...... Even if he has the wrist to the sky, he can't fish Lin Zhengjie out of prison.
So, this stupid, he had to pretend.
Lin Yingling saw that she said so much, but Murong Xun didn't say anything at all, she couldn't help but angrily pushed Murong Xun away, "I'm tired, I have to rest first, Your Highness Five, please take care of yourself." β
Lin Yingling lay down with his back to Murong Xun, leaving only Murong Xun with an indifferent back, Murong Xun stared at Lin Yingling's back for a long time, and finally got up to change his clothes, and went to the study silently by himself.
This night was torturous for Murong Xun, and it was also for Lin Yingxue.
Looking at the dark green under Lin Yingxue's eyes, Miaoqin knew that her master must not have slept well last night, "Miss must not have slept at night, okay, why don't you go back to lie down after breakfast?" β
Miaoqin asked, and at the same time, she put the side dishes and porridge in the food box on the table.
Lin Yingxue's stomach was empty, but looking at the table of delicious breakfast, she had no appetite at all, "No need." So saying, she got up and walked into the room.
"Missβ" Miaoqin's hand stopped in the air, and after a long time, she sighed and put the few side dishes she had just taken out back into the food box.
"Is Miss in the house?" Miaoqin was cleaning up, but Di'er was pushed over by Po.
"Here it is!" Seeing this, Miaoqin hurriedly put down the work in her hand and walked to the door to help Di'er up, while Po used his slender arms to carry the wheelchair into the house.
Miaoqin helped Di'er sit down again, and at the same time looked at Ah Bao and praised with a smile: "Ah Bao is now a little man, and he can take care of Sister Di'er in turn." β
Po didn't answer, just raised his head and smiled at Miaoqin.
Miaoqin also smiled and touched Ah Bao's head, then turned her head and said to Di'er: "I'll take Ah Bao down to eat something, Miss is inside, I didn't sleep well last night, I didn't even eat breakfast today, you go in and talk to Miss, don't make Miss angry again." β
Although Miaoqin understood what Di'er was doing, she was also angry, so her face was not very good-looking when she said this at this time.
"I see." Di'er lowered her head with guilt on her face under Miaoqin's gaze.
Miaoqin saw that Di'er seemed to have figured it out, so she took Po down.
Miaoqin and Ah Bao left, and Di'er was the only one left outside. Di'er took a deep breath before rolling her wheelchair into the back room with her hands.
"Miss ......" When Di'er entered, Lin Yingxue was looking out the window in a daze, and as soon as Di'er saw Lin Yingxue, tears fell like pouring beans.
The relationship between Lin Yingxue and Di'er is extraordinary, and when she saw Di'er crying at this time, she couldn't hold back, "What are you crying about, didn't you still want to die yesterday, if you die, you won't even have a chance to cry today." β
Lin Yingxue tried hard to straighten her face and pretend to be fierce, but her red eyes had betrayed her true mood at this time.
"Miss, the slave knows it's wrong! The young lady is so good to the slave maid, and the slave maid actually wants to die without knowing it...... Slave ......"
With a 'snap', Di'er slapped herself heavily with her backhand.
The crisp voice startled Lin Yingxue, and she almost immediately stood up and rushed to Di'er's side, "What are you doing?" You are my man, and you can't hurt yourself except me! β
Lin Yingxue raised her tone and grabbed Di'er's wrist tightly.
"Miss......" Di'er raised her head, and after the master and servant looked at each other for a while, Di'er couldn't help but throw herself into Lin Yingxue's arms and cried loudly.
Di'er's crying Lin Yingxue finally couldn't hold back at all, she hugged Di'er tightly, as if to soothe, and seemed to say to herself: "Don't worry, I will definitely avenge your revenge, this day will not be too long." β
It won't be long.
After the master and servant reconciled, Lin Yingxue came to the prince's mansion in the afternoon. The reason why it is the Prince's Mansion and not the Three Princes' Mansion is because Murong Jun is in the Prince's Mansion at this time.
"I'll ask you this one last time, but the Third Highness really doesn't have the slightest thought about the throne?" Fang Mengru was pulling the prince with a bitter face to practice his sword at this time, so Lin Yingxue found an opportunity to go to Murong Jun's side and asked in a low voice.
Murong Jun looked at Lin Yingxue, and he could feel that the question of the person in front of him was more serious than any previous time.
In fact, as a good man, who doesn't want to sit in that supreme position and create a great river and mountain? It's just that his respect for the prince and the prince's care and kindness to him when he was a child made him never be able to compete with the prince for something.
Even if he sits on the throne one day, as long as the crown prince wants it, he will still give it up.
ββ¦β¦ The crown prince is the prince. This was Murong Jun's answer.
Lin Yingxue had long known that Murong Jun would give her this answer, she just didn't want to ask Murong Jun again, after all, the chances of assisting Murong Jun to succeed in being assisted by the crown prince were much greater.
"Okay." Lin Yingxue hid the loss on her face, looked at the direction where the prince was, and said, "From now on, I will do my best to assist the prince in ascending to the throne." β
"You don't have to get involved in this kind of turmoil." Murong Jun frowned, "If this kind of thing doesn't succeed, it will become benevolent, if the prince fails, you will inevitably be implicated, why bother?" β
He never denied her abilities, but if he could, he would never want her to be in danger.
"Because I want Murong Xun and Lin Yingling to die well." Lin Yingxue did not hide her resentment towards Murong Xun and the others at all.
There are traces of Lin Yingxue and Lin Yingling's enmity, but the hatred between the people in front of him and Murong Xun does not come from nowhere. Murong Jun stared at Lin Yingxue for a long time, but in the end he didn't ask anything, he just said calmly: "Okay, I promise you on behalf of the crown prince that on the day of success, Murong Xun and Lin Yingling will be at your disposal." β
As soon as Murong Jun's words fell, the crown prince and Fang Mengru walked in the direction where the two of them were, "Alas, I can't do it anymore. Mengru, if you want to find someone to accompany you, let your brother Jun accompany you, with my qualifications, I'm afraid I won't be your opponent for another hundred years of practice. β
The prince was sweating profusely, and his face looked a little pale. Lin Yingxue stared at the prince for a while, and couldn't help frowning and said, "Has the prince not been in good health recently, can you ask the doctor to come and see him?" β
"Oh, I've been feeling a little weak lately." The prince was a little surprised that Lin Yingxue could see at a glance that he had a physical problem, "But I have already asked the doctor to check the pulse, saying that my body is a little weak, just drink a few doses of medicine and adjust it, it is not a big problem." β
After listening to the prince's explanation, Lin Yingxue nodded, lowered her head and didn't ask any more.
And the prince saw that several people stopped talking, so he smiled and said to Murong Jun: "Third brother, I haven't played chess with you for a long time, it's rare to be free today, why don't you accompany the eldest brother to play two games?" β
Murong Jun was so smart, seeing that Fang Mengru and Lin Yingxue didn't speak, he knew that there might be a conflict between the two, so he also followed the prince's meaning and said, "Okay." β
So, the two brothers put their arms around each other's shoulders and laughed and left, leaving only two silent women.
"You've ...... lately"
"I'm sorry."
As soon as the crown prince and Murong Jun left, Lin Yingxue and Fang Mengru opened their mouths at the same time.
The two raised their heads and smiled at each other, and all the unhappiness seemed to disappear in the tacit understanding at this moment.
