After eating, Bai Zhiyu got up, "The weather is very good today, why don't I take you around the garden, the lotus flowers in the pond are blooming, pick some lotus pods for you to eat." ”

"In your eyes, I'm a real foodie, just finished eating, and you're going to take me somewhere else to eat." Lin Qingqing smiled secretly, stroked his belly and said, "My stomach is about to burst, I have enough to eat and drink, I have to go back to work." ”

"I'll send you." As soon as Bai Zhiyu's words fell, Lin Qingqing hurriedly stopped him, "It's not that I don't know the way, I'll go back by walking around the corner, you are a busy person, let's hurry up and give instructions for the official documents, I don't dare to disturb again." ”

With that, she had already paced to the door, and looked back and smiled, reflecting the dazzling sunlight outside the door.

said that she was going back to work, but she was afraid that the anonymous hall would not be clean, so she wandered aimlessly in Taihe City again.

Unconsciously, there was a majestic and wide mansion in front of her, and her heart suddenly jumped, as if she remembered where this was, and suddenly turned around and wanted to go back, but her feet were as difficult to move as lead.

She raised her head slightly, looking through the high wall of the deep mansion compound, looking at the corner tower that exposed a layer inside, the majestic brick blue, cold like his cold face.

A wry smile appeared on his face, what kind of experience made the status quo of the two become like this, and the memories of the past warm words in their minds gradually faded away.

Where is the real meaning of one hiding and not seeing, a lie, lying to himself and saying that he will let go, and there will be no concern from now on.

She really wanted to rush in and ask that person, why did she do this, if she didn't love it, she would say it openly, so that she could get together and disperse, if there was something else hidden, what could not be faced together.

However, the fact is that she neither rushed in, nor did she have the courage to take the initiative to denounce it, after all, Zhao Kuangyan was not Li Zhuang, and she didn't bother to know the result of the forced questioning.

The Seven Princes' Mansion, in the study.

Zhao Kuangyan's eyes were obscure, and there seemed to be suppressed emotions on his face, "What, you said she was outside the door?" ”

"Yes!" Li Xiao clenched his fists, "Miss Lin is indeed outside the courtyard wall in the southeast corner!" ”

Before the words fell, Zhao Kuangyan had already strode out, and hurriedly walked to the southeast corner, his swift pace was windy, and his robe swayed slightly.

The people in the courtyard had never seen such a nervous and flustered Seventh Prince, and they couldn't help but be stunned, and they all whispered about what happened.

Under the corner tower, Zhao Kuangyan's trembling hands clenched into fists, and he climbed the corner tower with heavy steps, followed by Li Xiao.

Through the small window of the corner tower, there was indeed a familiar figure outside the courtyard wall, and the woman's delicate face was lightly raised, but there was no playful and vivid smile in the past, replaced by a misty look and a helpless wry smile.

"It's her! It's really her! Zhao Kuangyan muttered, his fingers gently touching the window, as if through the air, gently caressing the woman's gloomy face.

Memories of the past came flooding back to her heart, she struggled to twist her fat body when he was injured, a sly smile flashed on her face when she picked up the rabbit, her slightly shy cheeks flushed when she looked at her immature and clear eyes, her angry eyes but helpless look......

The peach blossom rain in the peach blossom forest, the pouring rain on the seventh day of July, the scene was constantly changing, and he couldn't imagine how she had experienced that night, and how she had spent these countless days and nights.

And the woman in front of her is no longer the carefree girl in Taoli Town, and the wound on her face is quietly flowing, even at night when she says she is homesick and shrugs her shoulders and cries.

He thought he would forget what a deep hurt he had brought her, but as time went by, those memories seemed to be engraved into his mind and lingered.

He thought she would forget, so he entrusted Bai Zhiyu to take good care of her, take her to the place she wanted to go, get out of this Longtan tiger's den, and stroll in Yangzhou in March of fireworks, time will eventually heal all injuries.

However, when he saw her, he knew that she had not forgotten, had not forgotten all kinds of love in the past, and had not forgotten everything that happened that night, just like him.

With a pain in his heart, Zhao Kuangyan clenched his fist with his right hand and stroked his chest, "It's her, but it's not her." ”

Li Xiao frowned, "Master......"

Zhao Kuangyan waved his hand to interrupt him, "No need to say. ”

"Master!" Li Xiao had to say, "The queen has been brokering the marriage between you and Miss Fang, if you let her know about you...... The consequences are unimaginable. ”

Lowering his head, Zhao Kuangyan closed his eyes and said slowly: "I won't let her know, let alone let others know, I will keep it hidden." ”

Li Xiao looked at him embarrassed, "But why do you have to embarrass yourself, if you like Miss Lin, you can also take her into the mansion as a side concubine after marrying Miss Fang, and if you want to come to Miss Fang's virtue and generosity, you will definitely not disagree." ”

"If I don't embarrass myself, I'll embarrass her." Zhao Kuangyan looked out the window with a faint gaze, "I once told her that a couple in a lifetime has never changed before, and it will not change in the future, my heart ...... It's always just her. ”

"But the queen mother, and the Ling family......" Li Xiao wanted to speak again, gritted his teeth and told the rest of the words, "The Ling family will not give up, how can the queen mother see you marry a folk woman." ”

"She has always been the person I want to marry." Zhao Kuangyan turned his head and looked at Li Xiao fixedly, "However, in this life, I am destined to bear her, I can't marry her, and I will never marry someone else, let me bear all the blame." ”

"Master, why do you have to embarrass yourself." Li Xiao sighed anxiously.

"I love her, so naturally I want to hold up a world for her." Zhao Kuangyan cast his eyes out of the window again, but the figure outside the courtyard wall was gone, "I will arrange everything for her." ”

"That's why you sent White Frost to protect her?" Li Xiao suddenly remembered something, "Actually, as early as when you returned to Beijing, you calculated everything and let Baishuang drag her, but you didn't expect her to be so obsessed with you." ”

"Yes." Zhao Kuangyan slowly let out a sigh, "I thought about it, but I didn't expect it, but with her temper, I should have known that she would chase after her." But the only way to protect her is to push her away from me. ”

"It's best if you can figure it out." Li Xiaoshen glanced at him, "The queen mother is already planning your marriage, and the Ling family has also sent a letter to invite you to visit the Moon Elders." ”

After speaking, he left Zhao Kuangyan alone to stand in the gloomy corner tower and turned to leave.

Brothers who have known each other for more than ten years, comrades-in-arms who have experienced bloody storms together, but only at this time, he can't understand Zhao Kuangyan, ask what the world is like, and teach people to live and die.

The turbulence of the dark tide in the capital is not as easy as fighting the enemy on the battlefield, Zhao Kuangyan's real mind is here, pushing Miss Lin away and keeping her away from this circle of elites who are fighting for interests, is the way for him to protect her.

Li Xiao let out a long sigh, suddenly remembering the scarlet eyes on the woman's desperate face during the birthday banquet of the prince, what had she experienced?
