Chapter 45: The Touch of Ice and Fire

Halfway through the kiss, Bai Yucheng stopped unexpectedly, slowly tore off the mask on Ji Lianmei's face and threw it aside.

"Get in the way."

The gentle and elegant face, lit up a fire and was terrifying, the originally deep gaze became more and more cold at this moment, and the two stretched willow eyebrows had never been so distorted as at this moment, like an elegant cat suddenly screaming and revealing its sharp teeth.

"Tell me, just now, did he kiss you like that?" Bai Yucheng leaned into her ear and asked.

"Huh? No, no. He, I don't remember. Ji Lianmei looked at the slight bulging green tendons on his forehead and stammered in reply.

"How's that? Tell me. ”

Ji Lianmei was dizzy for a while when he asked, her head was hot, and she replied honestly: "I grinded my mouth." ”

After Bai Yucheng heard the answer, he pressed his lips forward again, sometimes soft as usual, sometimes as eager as he seemed to vent. In these two extreme rhythms, Ji Lianmei only felt dizzy and indescribably suffocated.

"Mercy, there's something I want to ask you for."

"What?" Ji Lianmei felt curious, he was condescending now, if there was anything, just tell her to do it. and he did not speak to him in such a consultative tone.

"I hope you can pretend to be Xiwan when necessary to deal with Gongzi Yuxin." When Bai Yucheng said this, there was sincerity in his eyes that he had never felt before, "I admit that I have taken advantage of you. From today onwards, never. ”

"Why?"

"The more time I spend with you, the more I can't control my emotions. I don't know when I started caring about your emotions and your feelings. I know that you are a pawn in my chessboard, but I am willing to cocoon myself by your side. ”

Ji Lianmei was surprised. Once, she was also affectionate as promised, sinking into his excellence and pride, but as a result, she did not get what she wanted. Now she has a love-hate relationship with this young man, cutting constantly, and sorting out the mess, but he is affectionate here. All of this is as ethereal as a dream.

"You have only amazed me for half of my life, and you have let me sink for the rest of my life from now on. Will you trust me this time? Ink Dye generally has eyes as sincere as a child, and seems to be desperate to ask for her trust.

"Bai Yucheng, the relationship between you and me has long been messy. Now to be able to coexist peacefully with you like this is the maximum limit I can bear, if I still surpass you, how can I be worthy of Ji Jingchen. ”

The expectant light in Bai Yucheng's eyes gradually dimmed, and then he smiled faintly: "You don't have to answer me in a hurry, tell me first, are you willing to cooperate with me?"

Ji Lianmei thought for a while and replied, "If you can tell me everything about your past with Xiwan, I can consider your opinion." Since you need my help, it's not an exaggeration for me to know the inside story. ”

Bai Yucheng's expression changed slightly, and said, "Xiwan's past, I don't want to mention it again." ”

"Is it because you don't want to mention it, or because in your heart, she still occupies a place." Ji Lianmei had a smile on her face, and quietly tested Bai Yucheng.

Such words, almost blurted out.

If his answer is yes, then this apparent peace may be broken.

Bai Yucheng watched Ji Lianmei's gaze gradually become cold, and the smile on the corner of her mouth gradually disappeared: "That's it, in fact, this skin on your face is not exactly the same as Xiwan's appearance, I imagined it according to my memory, after all, she died at the age of seven........ Now that I think about it, it's not appropriate to leave this matter to you, and what I said just now was just my impulse, and I took you for her, so you pretended not to have heard anything. ”

Bai Yu admitted that he really looked at Ji Lianmei's eyes and said silently.

What does it mean to think of me as her?

These few words of understatement weigh as much as a thousand catties on Ji Lianmei's body. The reason why Bai Yucheng was willing to take the risk of being discovered and took her in here was only because she was too similar to that girl.

"I see." Ji Lianmei nodded indifferently, "Your Highness just said that, so I don't think I heard it." In the future, you go to complete your spring and autumn dream, and I will be a little maid in your house, and between you and me, I will also leave these in vain. It's just that I am me, not a substitute for anyone, please be sure to distinguish clearly in the future. Now, I'm tired, please get out. ”

Ji Lianmei unceremoniously pointed to the wide open door, Bai Yucheng smiled slightly, walked out of the door without stopping, and gently covered the door.

At that moment, Ji Lianmei no longer had the strength to disguise, and buried her face deep in the soft cloud quilt, as if only in this way could the heart that was tightly contracted be able to relax a little.

It turned out that I was still self-inflicted. He didn't fall in love with me, and I didn't have to dwell on it, we each did our part and drew the line. Isn't that exactly what I was looking forward to? But why am I so sad......

Don't be crazy about you, don't be anxious about you, it's already me, the last bit of dignity.

Perhaps, it's time to smooth out the chaos caused by you.

But Bai Yucheng's true thoughts in his heart, Ji Lianmei, may never know.

In the following month, Ji Lianmei really never saw Bai Yucheng again, and Bai Yucheng never summoned Ji Lianmei to do things in the past. Occasionally, Mian Fu would also ask Ji Lianmei to go to Qinxue Garden to do some chores, but Bai Yucheng disappeared as if he had disappeared.

Although Ji Lianmei's heart is already clear, in her spare time to do things, her eyes unconsciously drift away, looking for something. Life seems to have lost something all of a sudden, and when she is alone, she always wants to find a person's shadow, which makes her feel a kind of indescribable boredom.

"Miss Lianmei, but are you thinking about Your Highness?"

Just as Ji Lianmei was wiping the vase and looking at the rice paper spread out in front of the desk in a daze, Mianfu, who was standing aside and reading a book, asked coldly.

"I ......."

"Miss Lianmei, there are some things that you have to say, don't wait for the other party to guess your thoughts, after all, the other party is not you, even if he can guess what you think in your heart, he may not be able to show you something. Using your past grievances as an excuse for you to escape your feelings now is a disservice to you and Your Highness. What you see may be just the tip of the iceberg? ”

Mian Fuzhi smiled faintly, raised the teacup in his hand, and continued: "It's like the fragrant tea in my hand, it tastes just right at this time, but if I am entangled in trivial matters and put it aside, it won't be long before its taste becomes difficult to taste." Miss Mercy is smart and should know what I mean. ”

Every word of Mian Fu hit Ji Lianmei's heart.

"Forgive mercy for saying bluntly, sir, it is His Highness's person, what he does and thinks must also be for His Highness's sake, after experiencing some things, Lianmei just wants to be an ordinary person and doesn't want to be involved in any disputes, so even if it is against my sincerity, I don't want to have anything to do with Bai Yucheng anymore."

Ji Lianmei silently put down the vase and left the Qinxue Garden quickly.

"These two people, even this stuffy oil bottle, are very similar......." Mian Fu smiled helplessly.

That night, Sleep Fu sneaked into the Hanlin Courtyard through the back door in the dark.

"Coming?" Bai Yucheng held a cup of fragrant tea in his hand, and his eyes were still in the ancient scrolls of his predecessors in his hand.

"Your Highness, in the Hanlin Academy, have you found anything unusual?"

"Some of the grooms, coachmen, and some ordinary people who do miscellaneous labor in the Hanlin Courtyard have an extraordinary aura in their eyes, not as cowering as ordinary people who do miscellaneous labor, but are extremely fierce. I doubt it...... Gongzi Yuxin secretly raised a group of killers in the Hanlin Academy. I think this royal Hanlin Academy has long since become his own. ”

"Your Highness, do you need to clean up those people together?" Situ Che asked.

"Nope. Childe Yuxin is too cautious to do things, and it is difficult to find flaws in it, so we might as well pretend that we don't know anything about this matter. First, the content of their communications can be monitored by us; Second, if these people are outlaws and have great interests, we might as well offer a higher remuneration than Gongzi Yuxin, take them for our own use, and instead take him into an army. The enemy is in the light, and I am observing in the dark, in secret, so that I can not be surprised. ”

"That subordinate, I'm going to investigate."

"There is no urgency. Situ, from now on, you will personally lead the Yulin Army to infiltrate the residence of Youzixian to find out if there is a divine artifact similar to the connection between the two eras. ”

Bai Yu calculated, this year, is the third year that Ji Lianmei came to the Spring and Autumn Period, according to Yin, every three years, Ji Lianmei's body will gradually disperse into particles, until it finally disappears completely, and the form and spirit are destroyed.

From this moment on, Bai Yucheng has made up his mind that he will send Ji Lianmei back to the modern era. Although it must be difficult to find a way back to modern times, no matter how difficult it is, he wants to give it a try.

After all, that's the time and space she should be there and fit to exist. Bai Yucheng thought to himself.

"Your Highness, when did you start believing in these mysterious things, and now you have a shallow foundation in the court, and you have an old enemy on your side......"

"Needless to say, you just have to do it."

Situ Che's eyes gradually dimmed: "Your Highness, I have been with you for so many years, and in my heart, you are already a close friend of my birth and death. My Situ Che is a rough person, and he doesn't know what male and female love is, but now, your friendship with Ji Lianmei is becoming more and more unrecognizable. If you miss her like this again, sooner or later, you will destroy yourself. ”

Situ Che is actually a tenacious person, and he is even more sluggish in his feelings, and now, even he can see that Bai Yucheng's feelings are coming, which shows that he is too deep in love. If it weren't for the fact that he carefully hid his emotions in front of outsiders, then I'm afraid, it would not be surprising that Bai Yucheng had died thousands of times.

When he was in the archery range, he was already trying his best to hide the gaze of following Ji Lianmei, but Gongzi Yuxin used such an extreme way to test him. Bai Yucheng sensed from the smile of Gongzi Yuxin leaving: he had already felt his thoughts.

"I don't usually see it, General Situ, there are times when it is not so cold." Mianfu smiled and looked at Situ Che's distant back.

Although both of them are Bai Yucheng's confidants, the communication between the two is not very good. One is one civil, one is martial, one is indifferent and one is ruthless, if there is no one with the same three views and beliefs, such people with different personalities will never come together.

"Your Highness, you asked General Situ to take away the Yulin Army, what about your safety?"

"Don't worry, as long as I stay in the house and don't come out, Gongzi Yuxin can't do anything to me. This matter is urgent, don't make a statement, and you must find a channel to connect time and space as soon as possible. ”

"By the way, how has she been this month?"

"It's business as usual. However, it is not known whether the heart is as cheerful as it seems. ”

"What's wrong with her?"

"Hehe, Your Highness, the bell must be tied to the bell, so I won't get involved in this matter."
