Xia Mengning was in tears, and she didn't leave, but she looked at the direction where Donglin Mo left in a daze, and the eldest grandson Yun saw it, and came to Xia Mengning's side with light skills, and stretched out his hand to gently wrap around her body.

Xia Mengning seemed to have found a venting point, leaned her head on the arms of the eldest grandson, and cried fiercely.

Seeing Xia Mengning looking so fragile and helpless, the eldest grandson Yun also felt pain and love in his heart, stretched out his hand and patted her back gently, coaxing softly in his mouth, "Don't cry, be ......"

Xia Mengning didn't know that dozens of miles away, Donglin Mo grabbed the reins for no reason, covered his chest with one hand, and a mouthful of blood gushed out of his throat, giving up her was a more sad thing than letting him die, the heartache of this life made him unable to stand it anymore, his body shook weakly, and for a while he seemed to be a teenager.

Back to the Western Regions Palace, Donglin Mo sat alone on the small couch in the dormitory, and a pot of nameless flowers was placed on the windowsill on the side, which was taken care of by Yinghua, as if it was for his own enthronement, so it was placed here, Donglin Mo looked at the flower and smiled slightly, "Yinghua, this king has failed you, I'm sorry!" ”

Is it that everyone who has been hurt especially hates the three words sorry, Donglin Mo didn't know, but he sighed slightly, reached out and held the flower pot in front of him.

As the days passed, this matter seemed to be forgotten, Xia Mengning lived as usual, but Jiu'er carefully saw Xia Mengning's changes, and seemed to be more silent than before, Jiu'er always found Xia Mengning alone in a daze from time to time, as if she was pretending to have a lot of thoughts.

But Jiu'er knew that she couldn't just ask about her master's affairs, so she just took care of Xia Mengning silently and didn't say anything.

Changsun Mo was driven by the emperor to Kunshan to guard the emperor's mausoleum, and the situation in the court became the prince of Dingxi and Xia Chuanyuan, but everyone knows that Changsun Yun and Xia Mengning have a marriage contract, which is undoubtedly the power of a faction.

The drought in the northwest needs someone to take care of it, so Changsun Han handed over the matter to Xia Chuanyuan and asked him to go there in person and come back to report it according to the truth.

Xia Chuanyuan received the order, and Su Pu walked in and said, "Your Majesty, the king of Mojun...... Oh no...... The fifth prince, he wants to see you. ”

When Xia Chuanyuan heard this, he knew that it was inconvenient for him to stay for a long time, so he got up and saluted and retreated, and Changsun Han sat behind the desk, leisurely sipping the Longjing tea in the cup, and said lightly: "Pass!" ”

After a while, the shackled eldest grandson Mo walked in, he was no longer the same jade crown as before, but a little more haggard, and the whole person looked like he had aged by more than ten years all of a sudden.

"Son, knock on your father!"

Changsun Mo knelt down and kowtowed three times to Changsun Han.

Eldest Sun Han didn't make a sound, Eldest Sun Mo straightened up, and said: "Father, I don't know when my sons will come back when I go today, I can't be filial by my father's side, my sons are not filial!" ”

Changsun Mo said, kowtowed a few more times, Changsun Han saw it, and said, "Okay, it's not too early, let's go on the road." ”

Changsun Mo raised his head and looked at Changsun Han's indifferent face, he had mixed feelings in his heart, he didn't know why he fell to this step all of a sudden, he looked at Changsun Han and asked: "Father, although the son has done something wrong, should he really be severely punished here, the son has the courage to ask, if the person kneeling here today is not the son of the minister but the eldest grandson Yun, will the father be so ruthless?" ”

When Changsun Han heard this, his eyebrows moved, and he said sternly: "Bold, what do you mean by this?" ”

Changsun Mo stood up and smiled bitterly, "Erchen didn't mean anything else, but in the past few days, he suddenly figured out what it means to be called a praying mantis catching cicada and yellow finches, and when Erchen was calculating Changsun Yun and Xia Mengning, why wasn't his father also calculating Erchen, but Erchen thought that his plan was seamless, but he didn't expect that in the end, he actually told others about the wedding dress." ”

Changsun Han frowned and looked at Changsun Mo, and he didn't make a sound.

Eldest Sun Mo's eyes gradually moistened, he pursed his lips, and said: "Erchen has no power, and his biological mother died early, how much does Erchen hope that he can get the care of his father like the son of the world, even if it is just a look, father, is Erchen really your child, if so, why are you always so cold to Erchen?" ”

Changsun Han frowned, "Daring, do you know what to say and what not to say?" ”

The eldest grandson Mo smiled, but said, "Father, in the next life, the ministers will never want to be your son again." ”

After saying this, Changsun Mo didn't look at Changsun Han's expression, turned around and walked out, and Changsun Han, who was sitting on the chair and was about to get angry, was suddenly stunned after listening to Changsun Mo's words.

The big hand was raised weakly, as if it was inappropriate, Changsun Han sighed silently, and finally did not speak, watching Changsun Mo walk out of the study without looking back, and slowly walked away.

Su Pu stood aside, carefully looking at Changsun Han's expression, and after a while, Changsun Han said, "Let's all step down." ”

Everyone hurriedly retreated, and Changsun Han stretched out his fingers and rubbed his eyebrows, but there was no expression on his face.

The spring season is a good day to go out, on this day Changsun Yun came to invite Xia Mengning to go to Jingming Temple to play, Xia Mengning knew that Changsun Yun was changing the way to make himself feel better, and Xia Mengning didn't say anything at the moment, and didn't want to save his face.

The two shared a carriage to the foot of Jingming Temple, and went up the mountain together, Jiu'er saw Leng Xiao and followed Changsun Yun, a little embarrassed, but when they reached the top of the mountain, Changsun Yun and Xia Mengning both walked into the temple, and Jiu'er and Leng Xiao stayed outside.

Xia Mengning was in a rare good mood, "Eldest Sun Yun, are you matching Jiu'er and Leng Xiao?" ”

Eldest Sun Yun smiled, "Leng Xiao, this kid is not small, he used to always have an iceberg face, but now that he finally has a girl he likes, I naturally want to be a matchmaker for him." ”

The two laughed and walked into the temple.

Outside the courtyard, Jiu'er stood a little cramped, bowing her head and not speaking, but her cheeks turned red for no reason.

Leng Xiao lowered his head, looked at Jiu'er, who was secretly shy, and finally spoke: "I'll go to the side first, and you can find a place to sit by yourself." ”

Jiu'er was stunned for a moment, and when she looked up, she saw that Leng Xiao had already strode away, Jiu'er was in a hurry, and hurriedly picked up her skirt and chased after her, "Brother Leng, you wait......"

Leng Xiao turned around, Jiu'er only cared about running forward, but he didn't notice that Leng Xiao had already stopped his steps, and he crashed into Leng Xiao's body without paying attention.

"Ah...... I'm sorry Brother Leng......" Jiu'er hurriedly stopped his steps and stepped back again and again, looking panicked.

Leng Xiao looked at it, and his heart softened, but Jiu'er was not paying attention, and suddenly tripped over his skirt, and was about to fall into the deep pool behind him, Jiu'er screamed in fright, and his body was pulled up by a pair of powerful arms.

Leng Xiao looked at this little woman who was sometimes confused and sometimes confused, and his heart was confused, he reached out and took Jiu'er's body over, hugged it in his arms, and walked to the side.

A few meters away from the deep pool, Jiu'er relieved his heart and broke free from Leng Xiao's arms embarrassedly, Jiu'er lowered his head and said timidly: "Thank you, Brother Leng!" ”

A man's deep voice came from overhead, "What are you looking for me?" ”

Jiu'er raised his head blankly, looked at Leng Xiao, and suddenly reacted again, and hurriedly said, "That...... It's okay...... I just wanted to ask how your injuries are...... Also, I am ...... today It's ......"

Leng Xiao nodded, "It's already good." ”

Jiu'er said 'oh', lowered her head and reached out to pinch the corner of her clothes, Leng Xiao looked over from this angle, only to see that the woman's white jade-like face seemed to be dyed with an intoxicating red glow, and her smile was so cute, Leng Xiao's heart moved, but he still stopped his thoughts.

The two were silent for a while, and Jiu'er spoke: "Then I'll go back first." ”

As he spoke, he walked forward, and when he passed by Leng Xiao's side, he was grabbed by Leng Xiao's wrist.

Jiu'er's whole body was tight, and she had some difficulty breathing, her heart was jumping, and Brother Leng finally left her.

Raising his head, Jiu'er smiled lightly, with a pair of big eyes like a crescent moon in the night sky, "Brother Leng......"

Leng Xiao touched this innocent smile, and his heart couldn't help but tighten, this woman is so beautiful, but she doesn't deserve it.

Anyway, how can a person like himself deserve to have such feelings.

Thinking of this, Leng Xiao desperately suppressed his inner thoughts, and said in a cold voice: "I just want to tell you that I will propose to the prince in the near future that I am going to get married." ”

Jiu'er's heart jumped, and the red cloud on her face was even worse, "Really...... No, it's a girl from whose family...... Such a blessing......"

Leng Xiao felt a pain in his heart, but he still said expressionlessly: "It's the girl next to the side concubine, Wen'er, we have been in love for a long time, and we have long been ...... Private for life! ”

After saying this, Jiu'er couldn't help but be stunned, and then raised his head to look at Leng Xiao, his expression was so calm, as if he was saying an extremely ordinary thing.

Jiu'er felt uncomfortable, but she still bit her lip stubbornly, tears hung on her eyelashes, she just refused to fall, she sniffed, smiled reluctantly, and said, "Really...... In that case, congratulations to Brother Leng......"

Such a pretending strong posture made Leng Xiao's heart uncomfortable, he looked at her condescendingly, and felt that her body was trembling slightly, and after a while, Leng Xiao said: "Since this is the case, don't meet again in the future, it's not good for your reputation and mine." ”

Jiu'er raised her head in disbelief and looked at Leng Xiao, but she stretched out her hand, broke his hands one by one, and said with a smile: "What the Leng guard said is exactly what I want!" ”

She shook off his hand resolutely, turned around and walked away without hesitation, Leng Xiao's hand that had just held her wrist suddenly trembled uncontrollably, just now she lowered her head and broke his fingers, as if she was breaking the only connection between the two of them, Leng Xiao trembled his hands, closed his eyes fiercely, and felt his heart throb for a while.

"Master!"

At this moment, a voice came, Leng Xiao hurriedly opened his eyes, and saw his subordinates standing in front of him.

"What's the matter?" In an instant, Leng Xiao regained Su Ri's composure.

The man hurriedly said: "Master, the informant came to report, the person on the boat that day was not the queen, it was the substitute found by the queen, and now the queen happened to stay in the palace, and the master asked his subordinates to investigate the matter, that woman seems to really have a great relationship with the Western Regions, but it involves the palace of the Western Regions, so the subordinates did not find out." ”

Leng Xiao listened, nodded, and said, "Let's do this first, you go down first!" ”

The man looked at Leng Xiao and said, "Young Master, the master already knows your situation, and he asked the little one to persuade you not to forget your mission and duty." ”

Leng Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I know what to do, don't show up casually in the future, so as not to be seen and your whereabouts exposed." ”

The man heard the coldness in Leng Xiao's words, and hurriedly nodded and retreated.

Leng Xiao turned around and clenched his palms, no matter what, this is fate!

Leng Xiao returned to the temple, and saw that the eldest Sun Yun and Xia Mengning were sitting in the meditation room, Xia Mengning smiled and said, "What is this?" Eldest Sun Yun, are you going to let me eat this bowl of somen noodles at noon? ”

Eldest Sun Yun smiled, "Today is your birthday, have you forgotten?" ”

Xia Mengning was stunned for a moment, and then said, "How do you know?" After speaking, he thought about it again and said with a smile: "Eldest Sun Yun, my birthday has to be seven days later, did you miscalculate the day?" ”

Changsun Yun was startled, the two hurriedly compared on the table, and after a while, Changsun Yun patted his head, "Come on, this effort is in vain, I worked hard to cook longevity noodles for you, and I calculated the wrong day!" ”

Xia Mengning smiled and reached out for the chopsticks, "The dignified prince cooked noodles for me, I was too late to be flattered, try it first!" ”

Xia Mengning ate a chopstick, feeling a little difficult to swallow, this side is a little sandwiched, but for the sake of the eldest grandson Yun being so attentive, Xia Mengning still nodded with satisfaction, "It's not bad!" ”

As she spoke, Xia Mengning seemed to suddenly remember something, and said, "Huh? By the way, seven days later...... Jiu'er's birthday is exactly seven days away from me, so isn't today Jiu'er's birthday? ”

Xia Mengning said to herself, but Leng Xiao outside the door was tight, today is the girl's birthday?

Xia Mengning said, then looked up and saw Leng Xiao standing outside the door, and asked with some surprise, "Huh?" Why did you come here on your own, Jiu'er? ”

Leng Xiao was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief: "What? Didn't Jiu'er come back? ”

Xia Mengning pursed her lips slightly and stood up, "She didn't come back, what's the matter, don't you know where she went?" ”

Leng Xiao subconsciously shook his head, Xia Meng was anxious, glared at Leng Xiao fiercely, and said, "Don't go and find it yet!" ”

The three soldiers divided into three roads and began to search along the entire mountain, but they had no choice but to look for it, but they still couldn't see Jiu'er.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Xia Meng was anxious, and Changsun Yun hurriedly comforted: "It's okay, I'll go to the dark guard to help find it, you go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion first, maybe she has already gone back." ”

Xia Mengning nodded, she believed in Eldest Sun Yun's ability.

Xia Mengning got into the carriage, and the eldest grandson Yun looked at Leng Xiao with cold eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What's going on?" ”

Leng Xiao clenched his fists, "My subordinates are derelict in their duties." ”

Seeing that Leng Xiao's face was a little flustered, the eldest grandson Yun was not pretending to be worried, but also softened his voice, "You and that girl...... Did something happen? ”

Leng Xiao paused, "My subordinates thank you for your love, but my subordinates already have their hearts, and I'm afraid they will live up to the good intentions of the prince." ”

Eldest Sun Yun frowned, "Oh? ”

Leng Xiao nodded, "My subordinates have already made a private agreement with Miss Wen'er for life, and they will leave the palace after they get married, and they will not implicate the prince and the princess." ”

Eldest Sun Yun was stunned, he didn't expect Leng Xiao to say such a thing, he squinted his eyes, Leng Xiao has been with him for so many years, he knows very well what kind of person he is, if he is tempted by that Wen'er, they have already been together, why wait until now.

Eldest Sun Yun looked at Leng Xiao, and said after a while: "It's up to you, you have followed me for so many years, if you want to retreat incognito, I won't force it." ”

Leng Xiao hurriedly knelt down and thanked him, "I also ask the prince to give his subordinates a favor and marry Miss Wen'er to his subordinates." ”

Eldest Sun Yun shook his head, "You get up, I don't count what I said about this, Wen'er is the princess's girl, I don't have this right, but if you are sincere, I will go to my father to help you talk about it." ”

Leng Xiao nodded and thanked him, and the eldest grandson said, "Okay, let's go find that girl." ”

As soon as Xia Mengning returned to Zhuzhiyuan, she received a message sent by the eldest grandson, saying that Jiu'er had returned to her home and wanted to spend her birthday with her mother.

When Leng Xiao found Jiu'er, he was in a house on the outskirts of Beijing, and he was still searching in the mountains, afraid that Jiu'er would be afraid that he would get lost in the mountains at night, but when he received the news, Jiu'er had been taken to the house on the outskirts of Beijing by his master.

Leng Xiao was shocked, and hurriedly rushed back to the house on the outskirts of Beijing, and did not forget to send someone to tell Changsun Yun that he had found Jiu'er and wanted to send her to his own home, in order not to worry Xia Mengning.

When Leng Xiao rushed over, the master was sitting on a chair in the front hall, Leng Xiao walked in and hurriedly said, "Where is Jiu'er?" ”

The one sitting on the chair next to him was Leng Xiao's father's cronies, because of the age and the difference in seniority, Leng Xiao has always called him his master, this master's surname is Yang, and everyone calls him Master Yang.

Since Leng Xiao's parents died, he stayed by Leng Xiao's side to teach him and raise him as an adult, so Leng Xiao has a sense of awe and respect for Yang Fuzi.

Seeing Leng Xiao's hurried appearance, Master Yang subconsciously frowned, and said, "Young master, this girl will do bad things, and the old slave has already ordered someone to dispose of her." ”
