Chapter 52: Farewell to Yin Linxi
The next morning, the sky was still slightly white.
I rarely got up early in the morning, and I was walking out of the courtyard with Yin Linxi, "I heard that the white disaster in Jiangbei is very troublesome this time?" β
"Hmm." Yin Linxi responded slightly.
I looked up at him, and saw that there was a rare severity on that face, which made me immediately think that the disaster in Jiangbei at this time had reached the point of urgency.
But in order not to make him feel upset, he didn't ask any more, just glanced at the yard that had become snowy due to heavy snow for many days.
At this moment, the depression in my eyes and the chill in my face made me shiver.
"Idiot," Yin Linxi's low, powerful voice sounded above my head, and then a white fox fur cloak was draped over my shoulder, "can you not be so careless?" Although it's Meng Chun, it's still cold, and you don't know how to wear more, and how do you guys serve your master? The crown princess is messing around, you don't know how to persuade you, what is the use of asking you? β
A trace of gloom rose on Yin Linxi's warm face, which caused the maids behind me to bow their heads tremblingly.
And I couldn't stand his broken thoughts, so I simply walked behind him, put my hand on his waist, and pushed him forward, "Okay, I know, I know!" I'll wear more when I go back to my room! β
After that, Yin Linxi was pushed forward by me, and at the same time turned around and said to the maids, "When I am not in the house, I will take care of the princess." β
The maids were silent, and after a moment, a spirit reacted before replying to Yin Linfu, "Yes." β
Yin Linxi still looked uneasy, I looked at it and felt very strange, why didn't I have such a grinding character before?
"Oh, there is..."Yin Linxi seemed to remember something, his footsteps stopped abruptly, and then easily broke away from the thrust of my palm, and turned to face me.
I was a little impatient with his chatter, so I simply said with a calm face, "What else can you say at the same time!" β
Yin Linxi pulled up a smile meaningfully, and then leaned down very abruptly.
A threatening voice suddenly sounded in my ears, "When I am not in the mansion, I am not allowed to see Uncle Xiaohuang!" β
Belch... That's a threat! Dare to love this thing is treating Yin Mian as an enemy?
My eyes rolled around a few times to show embarrassment, but my face did not show the slightest hint, but smiled dryly twice and nodded like pounding garlic, "Since you can't tell you to see it, it will naturally be gone." β
Yin Linxi raised a satisfied smile.
At this time, it happened that the porter came in in a hurry.
Bumped into me and Yin Linxi, and instantly seemed to have seen a savior, and hurriedly knelt on the ground, "His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, the Crown Princess, Miss Mo is here." β
Mordell?
"Why is she here?" I raised my eyebrows slightly and looked at Yin Linxi.
Good guy, this guy here just said that I was not allowed to see Yin Mian, but his own debts over there came to the door first.
A trace of embarrassment flashed on Yin Linxi's face, and then he simply shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't know either.
Well, then since that's the case ...
I tugged at the corners of my mouth, waved at the porter, and said, "Tell her, just say that the crown prince and the princess haven't gotten up yet, let her go back!" β
"But..."The porter said with a little concern, "Miss Mo knew that His Royal Highness was about to leave Jiangbei, so she was stunned and stood by His Highness's carriage, saying that she would never leave if she didn't see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today." β
"What?" I flicked my sleeves, looked back and glared at Yin Linxi, who was pretending to be innocent, and immediately took his big hand and walked towards the door of the mansion.
Halfway, I felt that it was a bit abrupt to go out like this, as if I had gone out to see her on purpose.
If so, it would be better to do something about it.
Thinking like this, I grabbed Yin Linxi's slender and slender beautiful fingers and changed, and when a few gentle smiles were raised in his starry eyes, I suddenly crossed my fingers between his fingers and changed them to ten fingers.
Then, Da Ra stepped out of the door.
The wind and snow in the past few days have already filled the door of the prince's mansion with thick snow, and the porter is holding a broom at this time, and Yin Linxi's carriage is just parked next to him.
In front of the carriage, a woman in a red cloak had her back to us, and she stood out in the white snow.
It's just that it's not the person I care about, it's the cloak, and the vivid golden plum blossoms on it make me feel a little familiar.
After a moment of thought...
Wait, isn't that the same cloak I wore to my New Year's dinner that day? Could it be that Yin Linxi gave it to me not only to me, but also to Mo Daier?
At this point, I raised my head and glared at Yin Linxi, but he shook his head very innocently, indicating that he didn't know what was going on.
Over there, Mo Dai may have heard the movement behind her, so she turned around excitedly.
His eyes fell straight on Yin Linxi, and he didn't see me next to him at all.
"Brother Linxi." Mo Dai'er pretended to exhale Yin Linxi, then smiled at him, and walked over to this side gracefully.
As soon as I wanted to speak, I hurriedly pulled Yin Linxi behind me, and sneered at Mo Dai'er, "Miss Mo, what's wrong today?" I hear you sound weird, is it a cold? β
Mo Daier's face sank suddenly, and I immediately continued, "Ouch, this cold can be big or small, in my opinion... Miss Mo should go back to rest early, otherwise a minor illness will become a disease, and don't leave the root of the disease behind. β
After that, I laughed twice like her, and then deliberately reached out and grabbed the white fox fur cloak that had slipped a little.
Mo Dai'er naturally understood what I meant, but because Yin Linxi was not easy to do, she had to break her teeth and swallow it in her stomach, and raised a soft smile and said to me, "Thank you for your concern." β
I hooked the corners of my lips casually, and then glanced at Yin Linxi, who looked like a good show behind me, "Miss Mo, is there anything important to come to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today?" β
"That's nature." Mo Dai looked at me, a deliberate smile on a carefully whitewashed face, and then walked past me and walked straight towards Yin Linxi behind me.
"Brother Linxi, do I look good in this?" As she spoke, Mo Daier turned around a few times on her own, and when she stopped, she looked at Yin Linxi with an expectant face.
As for the guy, behind me, he frowned for a while, and said without thinking for a moment, "I think, this dress looks better for the crown princess." β
Belch... Although this now sounds very suspicious of sycophancy.
However, it succeeded in making Mo Daier, who was originally full of confidence, stiffen, and then stunned in place.
After a while, I heard Yin Linxi sigh lightly and said, "Miss Mo, I admit that I was wrong a few days ago, and the matter between me and the crown princess should not involve you in any way, and now how you blame me, I have no complaints, but there is one thing I want you to know, I have always regarded you as a friend, and we can only be friends, please forgive me for not being able to give you any excess." β
"But..." Mo Dai'er hurriedly spoke, and finally showed sadness in her eyes when she looked at Yin Linxi, "But my heart for you has never changed, from the moment you rescued me outside the gate... Three years, three whole years my heart was on you, and now what are you talking to me... Can we only be friends? β
Mo Dai'er sneered, took two steps back, and then walked quickly to my side and grabbed my wrist, the force was so great that my wrist was quickly congested, "Is it because of her?" Is it because of this woman? β
Mo Dai Er's face was crazy and hideous, and her hands grabbed my shoulders, and her dancΓ΄me-covered nails took the opportunity to choke my flesh, if it weren't for the thick winter clothes, I would have been pinched by her skin at this time.
"Enough!"
As I grinned in pain, a low roar sounded in my ears, and then my shoulders loosened.
It was Yin Linxi who pushed her to the ground.
"Are you alright?" Yin Linxi looked at me worriedly.
And I rubbed my aching shoulders, shook my head, and then looked at Mo Dai'er who was trembling on the ground, and I couldn't bear it.
I'll admit that at first I wanted to be angry with her, but I just wanted to make her angry, and I never wanted to hurt her.
But just when I was about to step forward to help her, Yin Linxi grabbed me and shook my head gently.
He looked apologetic at Mo Dai'er again, "I'm sorry! β
"Excuse me?" A smile of joy and sorrow rose on Mo Dai'er's sad face at this time, which contradicted her demeanor and made her originally delicate and lovely face look very strange.
After a moment, she sat up from the ground, and didn't care that her bright red cloak was stained, but she looked at Yin Linxi with trembling eyes, her eyes full of tears, "Do you know how much hatred I felt in my heart when I watched you staring at her intently at the New Year's dinner that day... I hate myself, why not her? Later, I asked my father..."
Mo Dai'er spoke, suddenly paused, and the strange smile on her face spread even more, "Oh, you don't know yet, I recognized Dugu Ao as my father-in-law, I asked him to do everything possible to find the tailor you made this cloak for her, and begged him to make the same one for me with a lot of money, I thought you could look at me more, but what did you say to me?" Can we only be friends? Heh..."
"Calm down!"
"How do you want me to calm down?" The hatred on Mo Dai'er's face no longer had any concealment in her eyes.
After a long time, she looked up to the sky and smiled bitterly, and said very dejectedly, "Three years... You have ignored me for three years, and I have loved you for three years! β
I looked up at Yin Linxi, and saw that his expression was also very solemn at this time, but he didn't say a word again.
Perhaps, in his opinion, silence is the best medicine for Mordell now.
Until the sound of iron hooves at the end of the long street broke the suffocating silence, and I followed the sound and looked...
What I saw was a group of people in black armor, riding on tall horses, speeding from far to near.
After a while, as a long "call" fell, the horse was strangled by the reins and neighed, and the talent on horseback turned over and dismounted and waved his hand at Yin Linxi, "His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers and others will go to Jiangbei with His Royal Highness on the orders of the emperor." β
Yin Linxi nodded at the man, and his worried gaze fell on me.
I naturally understood that he was worried that after he left, Mo Dai would be bad for me.
In order to reassure him, I shook my head with a smile, and glanced at the waiting maids at the gate of the prince's mansion at this time, signaling him not to worry, Yin Linxi's expression was slightly relaxed.
At this time, the person behind him coughed slightly, waved his hands again, and said, "His Royal Highness the Prince, this is a long way to go, please leave as soon as possible!" β
Yin Linxi nodded, and was about to get into the carriage, when he turned around and instructed me, "Take care of yourself, wait for me to come back!" β
I couldn't help but feel warm, and then nodded heavily and smiled at him, and Yin Linxi stepped into the carriage.
Then, when the crisp sound of the coachman waving the whip fell on the horse's back, the horse's hooves made a sound from the horse's nose, and the slight "squeak" of the wheels was heard pressing against the snow.
The carriage sped up little by little, and after shuttling through the streets and alleys, finally... Faded out of sight.
I withdrew my gaze, turned to look at Mo Daier, who still had a sad face, and asked aloud, "Are you okay?" β
"You don't have to pretend!" Mordell stared at me like an enemy.
It made me cry and laugh a little, thinking that since she didn't appreciate it, then I shouldn't be bored.
However, when I crossed Mo Dai'er and walked towards the mansion, she opened her voice coldly behind me, "I won't give up, you are already his concubine, why do you want to monopolize him?" β
I looked back, and I could even see a trace of humility in Mo Daier's expression at the moment, "What status?" I don't want either, I want it... It's just him! β
"But he doesn't love you." I'm calm and honest.
But it hit Mo Daier's sore spot, she stared at her scarlet eyes, and said angrily, "It's all because of you!" β
"But you haven't loved him for three years without me!" I said something coldly, and Mo Daier sat down on the snow as if she had just woken up from a dream, her face was gray and embarrassed.
After a long time, I sighed, turned around and walked towards the prince's mansion, after all, I didn't look back at her again, but secretly sighed in my heart, people go in this world, there are too many causes and effects, feelings are just one of them, when people are worried about the cause of this feeling, if they can't get the fruit and can't break free, then the pain is just to blame, but there are people who are willing to eat, even... Crazy.
