Chapter 192: Blocked
Lin Yingxue went out and came back this time, and she obviously lost a lot of weight, but it was all because she was too busy along the way, but Lin Yingxiang was pampered in the Three Princes' Mansion, and she looked a lot thinner, it seems that during the days when Murong Jun left, Lin Yingxiang's life in the Three Princes' Mansion was not very smooth.
"Fifth sister, you can be regarded as back, don't you know, how tense the situation outside is now, I am worried about your safety every day in the house, and now that I see you come back safely, I can finally feel at ease." Lin Yingxiang pulled Lin Yingxue up and down to look at it, and her eyes were full of worry.
The eldest lady on the side heard this, and hurriedly echoed: "But isn't it, I said that these two children should not choose this time to go out to play, but the two of them didn't listen, but fortunately, now they are coming back safely, and it is not in vain that I eat fasting and chant Buddha at home every day these days." ”
As Liu spoke, he patted his heart and silently recited 'Amitabha'.
Seeing this, Lin Yingxue's heart was warm and distressed. She walked in front of Liu again and grinded softly for a while, Liu was coaxed by Lin Yingxue happily, turned her head and saw that Lin Yingxiang had been on the side and did not pick up, looking preoccupied, so she found an excuse to go out, "I'll go and see how the meal is prepared, you two sisters will talk about yourself first, and Yingxiang will stay to eat together for a while." ”
It wasn't until Liu's footsteps gradually faded away that Lin Yingxiang approached Lin Yingxue, anxiously took Lin Yingxue's hand and asked, "Yingxue, you're all back, what about the Third Highness?" How is he doing now, and why hasn't he been home yet? ”
Looking at Lin Yingxiang's anxious appearance, Lin Yingxue's expression suddenly became a little strange - plus the time they spent on the road, it had been nearly three months since they left, and Murong Jun hadn't written a letter of peace to Lin Yingxiang in the past three months, and he wanted to ask for an order to stay in Miaocheng and defend the city with the general to defend against foreign enemies, Lin Yingxiang didn't seem to know anything about it.
In the past, Lin Yingxue only thought that Murong Jun didn't like her second sister so much, but now it seems that she doesn't care at all, otherwise Murong Jun wouldn't have told Lin Yingxiang nothing.
"Xiang Guo and Rong Guo are about to fight, and the Third Highness may have to go to the front line......" Lin Yingxue frowned, her expression slightly embarrassed. After all, she was an outsider to Murong Jun, but she knew more than Lin Yingxiang, who was Murong Jun's side room, and she expected that Lin Yingxiang should feel uncomfortable about this.
Sure enough, after listening to Lin Yingxue's words, Lin Yingxiang's eyes widened in surprise, her lips opened and closed, and she couldn't make a sound for a long time.
Lin Yingxue was in embarrassment, and she didn't know how to comfort Lin Yingxiang for a while. The two were silent at the same time, and Lin Yingxiang could not hide the look of disappointment and pain on his face.
"Five ......" After a long while, Lin Yingxiang was about to say something, but when she turned her head, she accidentally saw the jade pendant hanging from Lin Yingxue's waist, her face sank suddenly, but when she raised her head to look at Lin Yingxue, there was only a look of surprise on her face, "Fifth sister, if I remember correctly, the jade pendant hanging on your waist, the third highness seems to have a similar one?" ”
Lin Yingxiang obviously recognized that Yu Pei was actually Murong Jun's, but it was just difficult to say it because of the situation. Lin Yingxue looked down at the jade pendant on her waist, and while secretly scolding herself for forgetting to put away the jade pendant, she felt that the atmosphere in the room seemed to be even more embarrassing and heavy.
"Well, this jade pendant is actually ...... It is the Third Highness. Lin Yingxue simply confessed: "His Royal Highness said that this jade pendant is too valuable, and he will go to the battlefield at that time, and it will be inconvenient to carry this jade pendant, so he asked me to keep it for him, and wait until the day of his triumph, and then let me return the jade pendant to him." ”
What Lin Yingxue said was all the truth, but it was just what she thought was the truth, because there were many candidates who could keep the jade pendant for Murong Jun, and Lin Yingxue didn't know why it was her.
Obviously, Lin Yingxiang also thinks so.
Looking at Lin Yingxiang's eyes that slowly became suspicious, Lin Yingxue felt bad in her heart. She lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then untied the jade pendant from her waist, "Second sister, don't misunderstand. The people who came back with us were all guards, and the Third Highness must not have worried about handing over the jade pendant to them for safekeeping, so I became the most suitable person, but now that the second sister is here, I think it is most appropriate to hand over this jade pendant to the second sister for safekeeping. ”
When Lin Yingxue handed the jade pendant to Lin Yingxiang, her mind suddenly flashed the serious and calm eyes when Murong Jun handed over the jade pendant to her. Her heart jumped, and she had the urge to withdraw her hand, but this urge was suppressed by her reason.
Looking at Lin Yingxue's sincere appearance, the suspicion in Lin Yingxiang's eyes couldn't help but fade a lot. She looked at the flawless white jade pendant in Lin Yingxue's hand, but she didn't rush to reach out to take it, but said: "This jade pendant was personally handed over to the fifth sister by His Royal Highness for safekeeping, if the fifth sister is handed over to me like this, His Royal Highness should be unhappy." ”
Lin Yingxiang stared straight at Lin Yingxue, her light brown eyes were deep, like a bottomless black hole, and she couldn't see half of her emotions.
"How so." Such a look made Lin Yingxue feel a little uncomfortable, she hooked the corners of her lips, and barely showed a smile, "Second sister, you are the side room where the third highness Ming Media is marrying back, this jade pendant is much more suitable for you than for me." ”
seemed to be waiting for Lin Yingxue's words, as soon as Lin Yingxue's voice fell, Lin Yingxiang reached out and took the jade pendant in Lin Yingxue's hand.
Lin Yingxiang left without lunch, Lin Yingxue subconsciously touched her empty waist, only to feel that there seemed to be a small piece missing in her heart.
"Where's my jade pendant?"
"I'll give it to the second ......"
"Where's my jade pendant?"
On the first night of returning to the Lin family, Lin Yingxue didn't sleep very well, and as soon as she entered the dream, Murong Jun's questioning voice sounded in her head, and the gloomy and terrifying face made Lin Yingxue feel as if she had done something wrong.
"I just think it's more appropriate to hand over the jade pendant to the second sister for safekeeping......" Lin Yingxue looked at Murong Jun and explained with some confidence, but Murong Jun didn't speak, just stared at Lin Yingxue with indifferent and disappointed eyes.
Under such eyes, Lin Yingxue felt a little heartache inexplicably, "I'm sorry......" shouted, Lin Yingxue opened her eyes suddenly, looked around with blank eyes, and after a while, Lin Yingxue realized that she had returned to Lin's house.
"Miss, what's wrong?" Di'er, who heard movement outside, rubbed his sleepy eyes and walked in to inquire about the situation.
Lin Yingxue sat and slowed down for a while before she spit out two words: "It's okay." ”
This time the eyes are dawn - after waking up from a dream, Lin Yingxue counted 9,999 sheep with her eyes closed on the bed and failed to fall asleep again.
"Miss, didn't you sleep well last night?" The next day, Di'er came in with washing water and saw the faint darkness under Lin Yingxue's eyes, and couldn't help but feel distressed: "Miss, was she scared by a nightmare last night?" Why don't you make some soothing soup for Miss tonight, so that Miss can sleep better at night. ”
"It's okay, maybe I'm still a little unaccustomed to it when I just came back." Lin Yingxue touched her nose and suddenly felt a little weak - she couldn't tell Di'er that it was because she didn't do what she promised Murong Jun's commission, so she was so weak that she couldn't sleep, right?
"Really?" Di'er glanced at her young lady suspiciously, and her face was full of disbelief.
After breakfast, Lin Yingxue suddenly remembered that she had been out for so long, and she didn't know if the queen's headache had improved, so she arranged for Di'er to prepare a car and come to the palace, but in the end, Lin Yingxue couldn't see the queen.
"The queen has a headache?" It was not the red lotus that Lin Yingxue was familiar with, but a eunuch with some eyes.
"Yes, Miss Five, please come to visit the queen again at another time." The eunuch's attitude was polite, but Lin Yingxue always felt that something was wrong.
She turned her head to give Di'er behind her a look, and said with a smile: "Then I don't know where the Red Lotus girl is now?" Last time, she said that her shoulders often ached, and asked me to bring her two plasters into the palace, and I wanted to give them to her in person. ”
Di'er got Lin Yingxue's eyes, and quickly stepped forward and took out a silver ingot and stuffed it into the eunuch's hand, but the eunuch dodged to the side, dodging Di'er's movements, "Miss Red Lotus is now taking care of the queen in the palace, I can't pull away, what does the fifth miss have to give to the red lotus girl, it is better to give it to the slave, and the slave will help the fifth miss to hand it over." ”
