Chapter 106: Invitation
Seeing that her eyes under the mask were full of complexity, he hesitated for a moment, then slowly raised his hand, caressing her head as usual.
There was a familiar feeling on her head, all the memories that she had been with Mu Bai were vivid, Ling Ling's gaze was always fixed on his masked face, she wanted to hold him here, as in the past, greedily smelling the fragrance on his body.
A sour feeling welled up in my heart, and the sadness that had been pent up in my heart for a long time seemed to break free from the cage and burst out.
She bit her lip tightly, and a few tears silently slipped down her cheek.
When night falls, the whole night city is brightly lit, the streets are full of people, many young men and women wear masks and walk together, and the shops are shouting one after another, so lively!
Bai Feiye always looked at the tears that kept sliding down her cheeks, and took out a silk scarf to wipe it for her.
He understood the discomfort in her heart, and he couldn't. He wished that he had never been Bai Feiye, just Mu Bai, her Mu Bai.
After a while, Ling Ling took the silk scarf in his hand and rubbed it on his face, calming his emotions,
"Thank you. I also figured it out just now, there are some things that need to be talked about between the two of us, but I'm really tired today. Tomorrow...... If you're fine, I'll be waiting for you at the tavern next to the bridge. ”
There was no way to go on like this, and after today's events, Ling Ling decided to follow her heart and face the answer that had bothered her for a long time.
Seeing that her attitude had changed, his eyes softened, and he said softly,
"Okay."
"In that case, let's leave everything for tomorrow! I did get tired . . . You should still have something you need to be busy with, don't worry about me, see you tomorrow. ”
She tugged at the corners of her mouth and turned to walk in the direction of the mask shop.
Looking at the figure in the crowd who was getting farther and farther away, Bai Feiye was about to follow and secretly escort her back, but was stopped by a figure.
The sword eyebrows under his mask frowned slightly,
"Neon?"
The woman in purple looked at him with a half-faceted mask a little stupid, she smiled lightly, although there was a mask to cover it, but she was still charming,
"Long time no see, Lord Mu Bai, no, it should be said, His Royal Highness King Jing."
……
Although the injuries she suffered were relieved, because of the shock to her internal organs, Ling Ling's internal breath was disturbed, and the walk back to the mask shop from the street was not far, but it consumed a lot of her physical strength.
Ling Ling gasped slightly and walked into the store. Just sat down and was about to drink saliva, Ah Qi, who saw her coming back, immediately stepped forward,
"Young Sect Master, you are back!"
Ling Ling held the teacup in his hand and wondered, "What's wrong?" Is something wrong? ”
Ah Qi tugged at the corners of his clothes with both hands, looked at the four women who were looking at the masks in the store with some hesitation, and whispered to Ling Ling,
"The women came to the shop shortly after noon, and at first I thought they were here to buy masks, but they kept silent, and they stayed until now."
Ling Ling raised his eyebrows while drinking water and observed the four women in Ah Qi's mouth, although they were dressed in plain clothes, their skin was delicate, but the hands they picked up the mask from time to time were not as smooth as their faces, and there were faint shallow scars on a few tiger mouths.
At first, she also thought that these four women were just little girls who were playing and shopping at the temple fair, but after Ah Qi said this, it really didn't look like ordinary girls, plus Ling Ling's internal breath was a little slow at this moment, and she could clearly feel the internal breath emanating from these four women, which was not powerful, but if they were not good, she would definitely not be the opponent of the four of them at this moment.
She turned her head and whispered to Ah Qi, "Ah Qi, go and take down the yellow medicine bottle in the main room on the second floor." ”
Seeing Ah Qi go upstairs, the four women stopped looking at the mask and turned their heads to look at Ling Ling who was sitting on the mahogany chair.
Sure enough, it was for her!
Ling Ling crossed her legs, raised the corners of her mouth, and calmly looked at the four women who were slowly approaching her, "I wonder what the four girls have taken a fancy to in the store?" ”
A woman in the middle stepped forward, her eyes were cold, but she raised her hand and saluted,
"Slave Yunwan, on the order of the noble concubine, I specially invited the lord of Lingcheng to enter the palace for a while."
Ling Ling lowered his eyes and poured water, "Oh? I don't know which concubine it is? ”
"Naturally, it's Xue Guifei."
Her hand pouring water lightly, Murong Xue?
"It's getting late today, and I'm a little tired. The four girls told the concubine that Ling Ling would definitely enter the palace to visit early tomorrow morning. ”
Not to mention that she couldn't think of Murong Xue's purpose for looking for her, with the current state of her body, if any more accidents happened, she would not be able to cope with it at all, and time could be delayed.
Yun Wan chuckled, and suddenly magnified her inner breath and put pressure on Ling Ling,
"Niangniang specially prepared a carriage for the Ling City Lord, if the Ling City Lord is lacking, Yun Wan asked the coachman to drive slowly, and the City Lord can take a break in the car along the way."
The other three also amplified the aura in their bodies with Yun Wan, and they seemed to have expected that Ling Ling would not be able to resist, so they were so blatant.
Seeing Ah Qi running down from the stairs in a panic, holding the yellow medicine bottle tightly in his hand, Ling Ling gave Ah Qi a look. In the blink of an eye, he got up and said,
"It's hard to be grandiose, since Concubine Xue wants to talk to me so much, then I will go to the palace with the four girls,"
As she spoke, she walked up to Ah Qi and held her hand,
"Ah Qi, I'll go to the palace, during the temple fair, you will be responsible for helping me take care of the affairs of the store, by the way, at today's palace banquet, His Royal Highness King Jing chatted with me that he is very interested in our masks, and you will send someone to send the new batch of masks I recently made to King Jing's mansion, don't let His Royal Highness King Jing wait in a hurry!"
Ling Ling winked at Ah Qi, let go of her hand, and turned to Yun Wan and said,
"Miss Yunwan, let's go, don't let the concubine wait in a hurry."
Seeing the four people take Ling Ling away, Ah Qi immediately called a clerk,
"The young master is in trouble, I'll go out, and you can take care of the things in the store."
Ah Qi left through the secret exit of the store. Hurry up and rush to the direction of King Jing's Mansion.
King Jing's Mansion, in a small courtyard, Bai Feiye sat in the house with Mu Nisheng, his slender and good-looking fingers played with the celadon teacup, and the silver mask was quietly placed in his hand.
Qingliu trotted all the way, rushed into the small courtyard and pushed the door open, Bai Feiye frowned at him, and said coldly,
"Did you learn the rules in vain?"
Qingliu ignored Bai Feiye's anger and hurriedly said, "Lord Wang, Miss Ling is in trouble. ”
The hand holding the celadon cup tightened, he looked at Mu Nishang, and then looked at Qingliu,
"What's wrong with her? Miss Mu is her own person, you just say it. ”
Qingliu eased her breath, "Xue Guifei sent someone to invite Miss Ling into the palace. ”
His eyes darkened, "How long have you been there?" ”
"It's been half an hour."
The celadon cup was crushed by him, he resisted the impulse in his heart, and whispered to Qingliudao,
"Bring the token, enter the palace immediately, and tell the emperor about it."
