Zhang Jingzhen laughed, "If that's the case, why did you drop that letter to my mansion in the first place?" I'm living well in Jiangzhou alone, you have to find a fault for me to enter Beijing...... Now I'm busy with work. ”

"At that time...... There's really no way. Bai Ling gently held his forehead, "I am not familiar with the place in Jiangzhou, so I only have one friend left." ”

Zhang Jingzhen shook her head and sat down again.

"If you really don't want to go back, I won't force it, I'm just helping to bring the words—I have only one hope for myself."

"Huh?"

"Don't cut off contact in the future." Zhang Jingzhen said seriously, "Jiuyan and I, in the past three years, have often talked about Bai Yi and you, and now that everything has settled, no matter where you are going in the future, how about sending a letter to report your safety?" ”

Bai Ling smiled and nodded.

"Is that all there is to be said for Jingzhen?"

"There is one more thing, the emperor didn't speak, but I think he wanted to ask." Zhang Jingzhen looked at Bai Ling, "You...... Do you still hate him now? ”

This question made Bai Ling stunned for a moment, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

"He wants to ask for your forgiveness...... I think so. Zhang Jingzhen said in a low voice, "After knowing that you are still alive, he is happier than everyone else." ”

The room was quiet again.

"It's not about hate," Bai Ling lowered his eyes slightly, still with a little smile on his face, "but there is no forgiveness." ”

“…… I don't understand. ”

"It's been a long time since I've had such a happy day like I have in the past few days...... So I don't think much of these uncomfortable things. Bai Ling said softly.

"Then you ...... in your heart"

"I don't need his apology, and I don't need him to do anything to atone for my sins." Bai Ling said softly, she leaned on the soft pillow behind her, "If he really feels guilty, then it's good to hold this apology and endure this torment...... Stop thinking about asking for forgiveness from me. This kind of torture is what he deserves. ”

Zhang Jingzhen was stunned again.

There was a sudden commotion in the courtyard, and the door in the house was quickly pushed open, and Bai Yi and Zeng Jiuyan stepped in at the same time.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jingzhen turned her head and asked.

Zeng Jiuyan couldn't laugh or cry, "I have to leave for Zhuozhou tomorrow......"

"In such a hurry?" Zhang Jingzhen was a little surprised, "The emperor summoned you?" ”

"Yes," Zeng Jiuyan sighed, "I said that I took people out of the city to meet the people without permission, even if the emperor came, I couldn't stop it...... General Chang sent a letter, saying that he wanted me to take twenty military sticks in Fuzhou before setting off, and if I dared to appear in front of him alive, when the emperor was gone, he would punish me to go to the Huotou camp to carry the cauldron. ”

Bai Yi asked a little worriedly, "The emperor won't continue to go north, right?" Will he come to Fuzhou in the next two days? ”

Bai Ling almost frowned.

"This one is relieved." Zhang Jingzhen hurriedly said, "Three days later, the envoys of the Jin State will visit Zhuozhou, and the emperor will not leave Zhuozhou for more than half a month." ”

"That's good." Bai Ling closed his eyes gently, "I'm a little tired today......

……

Early the next morning, Zhang Jingzhen and Zeng Jiuyan left this remote town together, and soon after the two left, the things that they each sent by their own means also stopped in the small courtyard where Bai Ling was resting, from food, medicinal herbs to cotton cloth...... And so on.

After discussing with Bai Ling, Bai Yi and Fourteen disposed of these materials together. Except for a few necessary daily necessities that were lacking at the moment, the rest were donated to the townspeople along the way in the names of the two of them.

In the evening of that day, the 14th left Fuzhou at night and marched towards Jingzhou non-stop.

A few days passed after that, and at noon on this day, Bai Yi came to deliver food to Bai Ling, and when he pushed the door, he was startled - Bai Ling held on to the window post on the south side of the house, and at some point got off the bed, half of his foot stepped in his cloth shoes, and moved outward little by little.

"Don't do such a dangerous thing alone." Bai Yi immediately stepped forward to stop it, "If you fall here, you will be raised in vain these days!" ”

"I'm holding on very firmly." Bai Ling argued in a low voice, "If I lie down again, I will grow in bed......"

"What are you talking about," Bai Yi put the food box on the table, and went to Fu Bailing to walk over slowly, "I have already found someone to make you a walking stick two days ago, and I guess I can send it tomorrow ......"

"Oh," Bai Ling snorted, "isn't that just right?" You have to say that I can move, and you can't if you don't say it? ”

"Which of us is a doctor?"

"You are."

"Who's to be listened to by following the doctor's advice?"

“…… Listen to the doctor. ”

"And who are you supposed to listen to now?"

Bai Ling laughed, "I don't, if you want me to be obedient, you will shave your eyesore beard first......

As she spoke, she reached out and pulled Bai Yi's goatee, "You have grown this beard, at least ten years old!" ”

"What's wrong with being older?" Bai Yi disagreed, and helped Bai Ling to the table, "Lao Cheng is serious, and he is scheming-eh, why don't you sit?" ”

"I want to go for a walk in the yard." Bai Ling grabbed Bai Yi's arm, "I'm not hungry now, take me out for a walk." ”

Bai Yi sighed, let Bai Ling hold on to the table, and he turned to get his coat and thick cloak.

After changing her clothes, Bai Ling sat on the chair again and watched Bai Yi help her change shoes, she looked out the window from time to time, urging Bai Yi to hurry up. However, before he stepped out of the door, although he had changed into a thick winter coat, Bai Ling was still frozen by the chill outside the house.

It was early afternoon, but there was no sun or wind outside, and snow was falling in the sky again.

"You hold me." Bai Yi said softly, "We are walking on the main road, I just swept this land in the morning, and other places may be slippery......"

The two walked in silence from one end of the courtyard to the other, then stopped to rest.

"Fourteen doesn't know when I'll be back." Bai Ling said softly.

"Don't rush." Bai Yi looked down at Bai Ling, "Even if Dad came today, you can't rush like this." ”

"I can."

"You can't."

"Of course I can."

Bai Ling's hand tightly grasped Bai Yi's arm, adjusted the pace of his feet, and stood opposite Bai Yi as if he wanted to forcibly prove that he could walk.

Then, Bai Ling slowly leaned back and let go of the hand that was holding Bai Yi a little.

"You ——!"

"Don't move." Bai Ling said softly.

Bai Yi's face was slightly condensed, he wanted to forcibly grab Bai Ling's hand and let her hold her so that she would not move, but he was afraid that Bai Ling would be stubborn and struggle indiscriminately, which would be more dangerous.

So he just stood opposite Bai Ling, watching Bai Ling let go little by little, and he didn't dare to come out.

His hands were always under Bai Ling's arms, always on the lookout for accidents.

When Bai Ling was completely still, she looked up, "How's it going?" ”

"Yes, yes," Bai Yi nodded like pounded garlic, "Let's go back!" It's so cold out there! ”

Bai Ling laughed, she breathed a sigh of relief, and reached out again with some unsteadiness and grabbed Bai Yi's arm.

"Teach me to dance, Bai Yi." Bai Ling said softly, "Right now." ”
