Chapter Eighty-Eight: Disappointing You
The sun was deep, and the slippery road was drying out. Washed by the heavy rain for a day and night, the high walls and roofs in front of you, the green trees and grass around you, and the promenade and path under your feet are clean and fresh like never before.
Along this road, one more turn, is the destination of everyone's trip. It's a pity that although the road is close, there are twists and turns on the way, and whether it can be reached or not has become an unknown.
Xiao Yue looked at the turn in front of her, and then at Liu Qingyan, who had already walked away without any nostalgia. Under the forced gaze of Xuanyuan Yichen's resolute eyes, no matter how unwilling she was, she still turned around.
The first and fifteenth of the first year were also looking at her, she bowed imperceptibly, which was regarded as a salute, opened her mouth, and did not make a sound, but just made a mouth shape. But the first and fifteenth of junior high school both understood, she said "please", as for what she asked, with their feelings and tacit understanding that they almost grew up together, the first and fifteenth of junior high school didn't need to guess and know, they all nodded. Xiao Yue relieved her heart at this time, and chased after Liu Qingyan's back quickly, and walked a few steps, not forgetting to look back at the three people again.
Xuanyuan Yichen was also looking at Liu Qingyan's figure, in the past three months, no one knew better than the first and fifteenth years of junior high school that their prince often did this. When Liu Qingyan and Xuanyuan Yichen were sitting or walking together, he would keep looking at her. When she came or left alone, he would even look at her with nice eyes, full of admiration and liking. Such a prince is something they have never seen before, and it is only brought to them by Liu Qingyan.
If Liu Qingyan's sudden disappearance some time ago made Xuanyuan Yichen worry and anxious, and angry that she didn't say goodbye, then this time, they clearly saw the sadness that Xuanyuan Yichen had never seen in Xuanyuan Yichen's eyes looking at Liu Qingyan's back.
Yes, sad!
Xuanyuan Yichen's mother died early, so early that he didn't even know what sadness was. After that, he was poisoned, and it no longer matters what the sadness was during those long and painful days. Even whether his life can be saved or not has become not so important, because everyone, including the former emperor, has the attitude of treating a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and resigned himself to fate. Perhaps God had mercy on him, but he survived, although not well. After that, it was the death of the first emperor, and that time, Xuanyuan Yichen was busy with how to survive without the protection of the first emperor. During that time, he couldn't even bother to be sad.
And this time, it turned out to be the first time in Xuanyuan Yichen's life that he was sad. There was actually nothing on his face, let alone anything more, but the first and fifteenth years of junior high school clearly felt his sadness. Even the mood with the first and fifteenth years of junior high has become bad, and this time, it is rare that the first junior high school is no longer in a hurry to show his self-righteous intelligence.
Xiao Yue had already caught up with Liu Qingyan, keeping a distance not far away, and followed behind her like this.
Xuanyuan Yichen's body moved, and it seemed that he also had this intention to hurry up.
Fifteen stiffened his head and took a step forward, just blocking Xuanyuan Yichen's view over there. Xuanyuan Yichen had to look at him, and seemed to have dispelled the idea of continuing to follow Liu Qingyan's figure. The first year of junior high also stepped forward and stood side by side with fifteen. They are brothers, and naturally when something happens, they have to face it together.
Xuanyuan Yichen looked at the two brothers, fifteen lowered his head slightly, and said, "Lord Wang, with Xiaoyue by your side, you will definitely take good care of the princess." Lord Wang, it's better to go and release Linglong first. "What Xiao Yue asked for before leaving, this is this. She knew that if she insisted on staying, she was afraid that she would make the prince even more angry. There was no way, she could only leave obediently, and leave the rest to the first and fifteenth years of junior high school. Needless to say, both Fifteen and First Understand what she means, and are doing their best to do it for her. This is also the embodiment of the deep relationship between the four of them over the years.
Both of them were nervous, but there was anticipation in them. Xuanyuan Yichen couldn't help but smile, but there was still bitterness in his smile. He said, "I have already disappointed the princess, how can I let you down too?" The first and fifteenth of the first year of junior high looked at each other, and then they all bowed down with joy on their faces, and said in unison: "Thank you, Lord Wang!" ”
"Alright, let's all get up, and fight quickly!" Xuanyuan Yichen said, without the hindrance of these two people, he subconsciously glanced ahead, and on the straight road, there were no Liu Qingyan and Xiao Yue. It's okay that I can really leave them behind for the time being. He simply turned around and strode forward.
"Yes!" The first and fifteenth of junior high happily agreed, and also followed him, striding forward.
Entering the courtyard where Linglong lived, as Liu Qingyan said three months ago, the door was closed, but the door was not locked. Anyone who wants to leave can leave immediately without hindrance, and the test is how sincere and self-controlled the people who are locked up inside.
Since Liu Qingyan gave that order, he has never paid attention to this person or here. Therefore, she would not know if Linglong had really not left this room for the past three whole months. However, Xuanyuan Yichen, who is the master of the Xianwang Mansion and the exquisite one, is still very clear about these. Then, no matter whether she comes out or not, as long as Xuanyuan Yichen can accept it, Liu Qingyan doesn't matter. Anyway, what she wanted to do had already been done, and what she wanted to achieve had been achieved. Even if there are some flaws, they are probably not hidden.
I couldn't see what's going on inside the room, but the three of them could hear it clearly. Linglong seemed to be walking around the room non-stop, circling around the room. He was still babbling something in his mouth, his voice was very low, and his speed of speech was very fast, and he could only barely hear the names of Xiao Yue and Wang Ye clearly. It seems that she must have waited impatiently.
Xuanyuan Yichen waved his hand, and the first and fifteenth years of the first year of the year understood, so he stepped forward and pushed the door open.
Linglong was really circling around inside, and when she heard the sound, she turned around sharply and looked towards the door. When she saw clearly who was standing outside the door, she rushed straight over, and when she came to the edge of the threshold, there was a hint of hesitation. But in an instant, she crossed the threshold.
If she was one of Xuanyuan Yichen's concubines, just like the Liu Ji from yesterday, then after being locked up for three months, after suffering such a great grievance for him, she would definitely throw herself directly into Xuanyuan Yichen's warm and thick arms to seek his comfort. However, she is just a little girl, even if she is a girl who has grown up serving Xuanyuan Yichen, she is still just a girl. Because of this identity, she didn't want to jump into Xuanyuan Yichen's arms, with infinite regret and loss, she rushed to Xuanyuan Yichen's side, "poof", and knelt at Xuanyuan Yichen's feet, completely ignoring the traces of rain on the ground that had not yet dried up.
Xuanyuan Yichen seemed to be frightened, and hurriedly took two steps back. In fact, he didn't expect Linglong's reaction to seeing her so big, and he was really a little frightened. But more importantly, he knew Linglong's thoughts about him, and he also knew that even if she was locked up for three months, it would be impossible for her to change her mind. And the fact that she saw her reaction so big confirmed it. Therefore, it is better for Xuanyuan Yichen to keep a little distance from her.
Even if Linglong was kneeling on the ground, she had to kneel on her knees, and she got closer to Xuanyuan Yichen. Then he straightened his upper body and grabbed the hem of Xuanyuan Yichen's clothes with both hands, so that he would not be able to retreat again. She raised her head, her eyes were already full of tears, and she said with a crying voice: "Lord Wang, you have finally come to see Linglong." Linglong knew that the prince must still remember Linglong, so he deliberately let Linglong out. ”
If it was usual, Xuanyuan Yichen might be able to help Linglong up from the ground in a good voice and say a few words to her. But today, maybe it's because I got the consequences of Liu Qingyan's treatment of the morning, or maybe I got inspiration from Liu Qingyan. Xuanyuan Yichen rarely hardened his heart to Linglong, grabbed her hands, shook them off, and rescued the hem of his clothes.
Linglong's tears were still flowing, dripping down her cheeks to her neck, dripping to the ground, mixed with the undried rain, and she couldn't see the existence of tears.
Under the sun, I could see more and more that one of her faces, perhaps not exposed to the sun for three months, had become a little unusually pale. And her expression became indescribably weird. and her eyes, she was thrown away by Xuanyuan Yichen, and the original joy and emotion suddenly became full of ruthlessness and resentment. Such a delicate look is three points like a human and seven points like a ghost.
If the miserable white Linglong at the beginning still made Xuanyuan Yichen feel a little sympathetic to her. Then this exquisiteness reminded Xuanyuan Yichen of all kinds of vicious things she had done in the past. He had never felt how aggrieved Linglong was to be locked up for three months, but today, he suddenly felt that maybe three months was far from enough. And the place should not be in the mansion of the idle king, if you find a nunnery for her to carefully cultivate her self-cultivation and chant the Buddha for a few months, will the effect be better.
Xuanyuan Yichen looked at Linglong steadily, and Linglong finally sensed that something was wrong with her, and immediately hid all those cruelty and resentment, and then looked pitiful and full of grievances, crying and shouting: "Lord Wang......"
