Chapter 85: Ling'er, Don't Leave Me
The big stone in her heart finally fell, as long as she could reconcile with Duan Junmo, she could use Qiuchi to rescue Fengmu, and then leave Dali with Gong Jiyue and go to Ming to live temporarily.
The emperor saw her thoughts, and did not force her to stay, she also made it very clear that as long as she could let her and Duan Junmo reconcile, she was willing to work for it.
"Stand down." The emperor stopped at her, and regained his usual majesty, "Let the queen come in, and the rest of the people will disperse." ”
"Yes." Feng Lingye bowed slightly, exited the inner room, opened the door, and looked at the people with different expressions outside the house, "The emperor has woken up, there is no major problem for the time being, but he needs to recuperate, except for the queen, everyone should go back." ”
Something happened to the emperor, and everyone was not in the mood to continue the banquet, so when they heard the words, they left some, leaving only a few people from the royal family, still waiting uncomfortably aside.
The queen mother knew that since the emperor had woken up, that was what the emperor meant, so she stepped forward to Feng Lingye and asked, "Are you sure the emperor is fine?"
"The emperor is just angry, which led to the outbreak of old diseases, and I have controlled his condition, the queen mother can rest assured." Feng Lingye's eyes were calm.
When the queen mother heard this, she was relieved, and when she looked at Feng Lingye, she was not so dazzling, it seems that she can be reused by the emperor, and it still makes some sense.
The queen looked at the princes and princes, "Everyone has dispersed, and the hour is not early, so the birthday banquet will end." ”
Duan Junmo, Duan Yixuan, Duan Rui and the others turned around and left the courtyard.
Feng Lingye walked behind, and Duan Yixuan was in a wheelchair, which was naturally slower than ordinary people, so the two naturally bumped into each other.
In the night, Duan Yixuan was dressed in white, because he was attending a banquet, he was more solemn than usual, and the sleeves and neckline were embroidered with gold patterns, and this decoration made him more and more dazzling.
She followed, walking quietly.
"You're ...... Tonight"
"The Emperor's ......"
The two of them spoke at the same time, but at the same time remained silent, and they couldn't help but laugh dumbly for a while.
He looked at her, "You can speak first." ”
She bowed her head slightly, thought about it, and seemed to hesitate, but finally asked, "Why didn't you choose a crown princess tonight, in fact, Yan Qing is a good person, although she is the daughter of Hubu Shangshu, but Hubu Shangshu is an upright person, I believe that if you marry his daughter, you will be like a tiger." ”
If he insists, coupled with the queen mother's insistent arrangement, the queen can't stop it.
"What did the emperor reward you?" He seemed reluctant to talk about the topic and asked instead.
She didn't reluctantly ask, since he had no intention, there were other arrangements, "The emperor rewarded me with a promise, and when the time is ripe, he will let me and Duan Junmo reconcile." ”
As if everything was expected, he was not surprised, his expression was indifferent, "After the separation, what are you going to do?" ”
"Get out of the palace and stay away from it all." She didn't think about it, and replied directly.
His fingers holding the armrest tightened slightly, a trace of loneliness flashed in Feng's eyes, and his tone was low, "What about me?" ”
She was slightly stunned, stopped, and pursed her lips, "Shouldn't the prince marry the crown princess, and then stabilize his position and continue his current life?" ”
"Do you think so too?" He raised his eyes to hers, deep and complex.
She was a little overwhelmed and avoided his gaze, "Isn't it?" ”
"What is everything that happened in the woods of Dailiang County?" His eyes were burning, no longer as gentle as before, but with a touch of heat.
She took a deep breath and said resolutely: "I said, just treat it as a dream, count me as if I failed you."
"No, how can it be a dream?" He held her hand tightly, the force was a little heavy, but he didn't notice it, he just felt that something was quietly passing, and he had to hold it so tightly, "Ling'er, don't leave me, okay?" ”
Her fingers moved slightly, trying to break free, but she seemed to feel a sense of powerlessness, "You have your beliefs, I have my pursuit, we are destined to only have a short encounter, not a long-term companion." ”
"Are you angry?" He was a little sad, and a pair of eyes saw through her heart, "Because of the matter of the crown princess, you decided to break off with me?" ”
Feng Lingye prides herself on being a decisive person, but in front of this relationship, she suddenly felt a little difficult to let go, and wanted to tell him soberly that they were impossible, but the actual action was giving him a chance.
Seeing that she hesitated, he gently pulled her into his arms, his brows furrowed, "The position of the crown princess was empty in the past, it is empty now, and it will be empty for you in the future, and I have only one wife." ”
Feng Lingye's heart was soft, and his eyes were slightly red.
"You don't have to draw a knife against Brother Qi, everything is up to me, you just need to live well and wait for me to control everything." With a hint of urgency and fear, he hugged her tightly, "I want to be the lord of the world, protect you, love you, and never let people bully you, whether you are right or wrong, I believe in you, and stand with you forever, Ling'er, can you trust me once?" ”
She buried her head tightly in his arms, the tails of her eyes slightly wet, and her nose was full of his clear and familiar ambergris, warm and stable.
From beginning to end, he never asked her for anything, and she never took advantage of him, although they knew each other well, and they both had bad intentions, but in the end, neither of them took that step.
He is right, the reason why she is tired of the court and the royal family is because she has seen through everything, except for her sister and mother, she doesn't trust anyone to bring her happiness.
She didn't dare to gamble, she was already alone, she was afraid of losing and her bones were gone, and she didn't want to go to another battle palace and fight with another Zhuang Nanyan.
"When the time comes, I will give you a satisfactory answer," he gently cupped her face, looking at her hesitant and struggling eyes under the mask, and his hoarse voice even carried a hint of pleading, "Ling'er, don't refuse me, okay?" ”
She clutched his shirt tightly, half loudly, and finally couldn't resist the voice in her heart, and silently agreed.
Time is not old, let her be willful again.
The night is as cool as water, and a bright moon is in the sky, quietly shining on the two people in the corridor, beautiful and quiet.
As everyone knows, at the end of the corridor, a palace maid quietly hid aside, took in the scene, and then left quietly.
At the end of the corridor, Feng Lingye got up and went out of the palace with him.
This was the first time Duan Yixuan had been so emotional and said so much to her.
After the queen mother's marriage, it seems that the thoughts of the two who dare not speak are clearer, and it also makes the seed buried deep in their hearts firmer.
When I left the palace, I happened to meet Yan Qing and Jia Ru, and the two walked together.
When Jia Ru saw it, she immediately smiled at Yan Qing with an ambiguous face, and joked: "Fortunately, Queen Shicai stopped it, otherwise we would have become a mallet to beat mandarin ducks."
Duan Yixuan took a closer look, and it turned out to be the two who were assigned to marry, so he smiled politely.
Yan Qing patted her head gently, "Don't disturb others." ”
As she spoke, she pulled Jia Ru and hurriedly gave Duan Yixuan and Feng Ling a salute at night, "His Royal Highness the Prince, Doctor Feng and Doctor Feng will go slowly, and we will leave." ”
Jia Ru wanted to say something, but Yan Qing covered her mouth with one hand and walked away with the other.
Looking at the cheerful and lively figures of the two, Feng Lingye smiled wordlessly.
Duan Yixuan glanced at her, and his tone was gentle and helpless, "In front of me, you can be as casual as them." ”
"Since you think I'm old and lively, I can convey it to the queen for you tomorrow." Feng Lingye said casually.
Duan Yixuan frowned slightly, "Don't come nonsense." ”
Feng Lingye snorted and laughed, "Teasing you." ”
After leaving the palace, Duan Yixuan sent her to the gate of the palace, and then turned back to the prince's mansion.
In Qiufeng Garden, Tao Yao, Feng Jinxiu and Gong Jiyue were all waiting at home, and when they saw that she finally came back safely, they were immediately relieved.
"There are a lot of people from the Shicai Criminal Department, saying that they are investigating the birthday ceremony, and the minions in the Lanxiang Pavilion have been arrested." Feng Jinxiu looked at her worriedly, "Second sister, are you okay?" ”
She shook her head and said with a smile: "Sister, don't worry, I'm fine."
Tao Yao followed and walked over, "Did you really send Guanyin out?" ”
"It's been sent out, because the Queen Mother doesn't want to see me, so she doesn't bother to look at my gifts, but there is a spy in the Lanxiang Pavilion, she will definitely investigate thoroughly, especially if she suspects you, but the gift Guanyin has already reached the hands of the Queen Mother, presumably she will dispel this doubt." Feng Lingye said.
After Tao Yao listened, she breathed a sigh of relief, and she was worried all night, fortunately, the person who had the accident was not Qiufeng Yuan, "But Lu He has been arrested and put in prison." ”
"Don't worry, Green Lotus is already in the same boat as you now, and she won't give you out in order to protect herself." Feng Lingye said with relief.
Tao Yao nodded, seeing that the hour was not too early, so she went down to prepare hot water for her to wash.
Feng Lingye and Gong Jiyue entered the house together, "Guess who I saw tonight?" ”
"Autumn Pond?" Gong Jiyue raised her eyebrows slightly.
She nodded, "He has now been sent to the Queen Mother by Concubine Duan, and if everything goes well, he can slowly build up his own forces." ”
"He is our last trump card, it must be used on the blade, once you get the Holy Decree of Heli, I will secretly send a message to him, and ask him to leave the Foguang Temple with the Feng Mu immediately." Gong Jiyue is also looking forward to the arrival of this day, taking her with her, away from all this.
Feng Lingye paused slightly in his heart, remembering what Duan Yixuan had said, and was a little gloomy for a while, "You're also tired, go down and rest early." ”
He didn't know what she was thinking, and thought that he was tired from the birthday party, so he stopped bothering her and left the house.
In the past few days, Xu is busy dealing with Zhuang Nanyan's affairs, maybe it was Feng Lingye's night that really broke his heart, Duan Junmo didn't appear in front of her again, although the two lived under the same roof, they seemed to be like strangers, even if they met in the palace, one was just a routine salute, and the other was just a routine salute.
In the early morning of this day, Duan Yixuan went down to the morning court and was led to the Qianming Palace by an attendant.
The queen's pregnant belly was already obvious, she was dressed in a loose dark brown robe, sitting on a soft couch, rich and graceful, holding a strand of needle and thread in her hand, as if she was sewing the child's intimate clothing.
"The Queen Mother." He called softly, then pushed the wheelchair to her side, looking at the style of clothes in her hand, like a little princess.
The queen didn't stop the needlework in her hands, and still sewed carefully, "Xuan'er, you promised the queen mother, but did you do it?" ”
He didn't know why, "What did the queen mother say?" ”
"Is your heart still in yourself?" The queen raised her eyes, her eyes dark.
He paused with his fingertips, and then smiled calmly, "Naturally." ”
"On the night of the birthday banquet, you and Feng Lingye were in the corridor, fortunately, they were seen by the palace maid of my Qianming Palace, if it was seen by others, even your father's people, how would you explain?" The queen put down the needle and thread in her hand, and her tone was slightly heavy, "Feng Lingye, you don't have to deal with it anymore." ”
"Yes." He didn't resist, he didn't explain, he only replied lightly with one word, which surprised the queen, and felt a little decisive for a while, so she sighed, "Feng Lingye, that girl, I also like this palace, but if you like it, she is just a chess piece for your father after all, and when she is exhausted, she can be thrown and discarded, and we will eventually become different people." ”
"The words of the queen mother, the sons will definitely remember it." He has a gentle and humble attitude, as if he always makes people feel good.
Seeing him like this, the queen did not give any more stern warnings, but said earnestly: "The emperor doesn't like the princes to be powerful, so the queen mother has not appointed the crown princess for you for a long time, and he promotes and values you, and he just wants to make h2."
