When I woke up, there was silence outside, and occasionally I heard a few low voices, as if talking about something:

"The doctor came here today, and said that Childe's leg may not get any better. How can you ...... a good person?"

"Silence, you're going to die! The prince has instructed that he is not allowed to tell the news to the son, if the son knows. I'm afraid it's terrible. ”

"What's the need to be so quiet? Childe hasn't woken up yet. ”

He blinked, only feeling that the pain was unbearable, and the dull pain in his lower limbs was very great, but for some reason, he couldn't move at all. He got up half-propped up, covered in cold sweat, still unable to move even one toe. He understood in an instant that his legs ...... Ruined!

"Oops, Childe woke up?" When they were trying hard, the two girls who were talking at the door suddenly walked in, and saw him sitting on the bed half-propped, with a trace of panic flashing in their eyes, but they quickly calmed down, and walked over to bless him, one of them pressed him on the bed, and said happily: "Mr. is seriously injured, it is better not to move around easily, wait for the doctor to come and see, before you can ......."

"How long did I sleep?" He interrupted hurriedly.

The girl smiled: "Childe is seriously injured this time and has slept for more than 20 days!" ”

More than 20 days! Isn't that Jin'er's and the ceremony missed?

He was stunned for a moment, then reached out to his waist to touch the purse that never left him, and wanted to take out the small statue to take a look. When the tentacles touched the soft brocade, he was stunned again, there was nothing there. He opened his mouth and was about to ask the girl where his belongings went, when a cold voice came from his ears: "Are you looking for Nangong Jin's portrait?" Don't look for it, I've lost it. ”

He suddenly felt angry, looked up, and saw another person in the room, dressed in a fine costume, with a strange expression, but that face was familiar.

He suddenly remembered the scene in the carriage, a wordless pain spread from the bottom of his heart, raised his eyes, and almost gritted his teeth and asked: "Brother Duan, since you and I met, do I have a place where I can't live with you?" Why do you do this to me? ”

"Nope." Duan Rongxuan lowered his eyes and looked at him on the bed: "But I just don't like to watch you reunite with Nangong Jin." ”

"Why?" All the emotions choked in the throat, and there was only one sentence left.

Duan Rongxuan whispered, "You know. ”

He was stumped by these four words, and it took a lot of circles in his mind before he slowly came back to his senses. He understood Duan Rongxuan's thoughts, but he would never be able to respond to Duan Rongxuan. In Kyoto, there were still people waiting for him to go back, and he promised her that even if he climbed, he would climb back.

"I know what you're thinking, you want to go back," Duan Rongxuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly raised his head and smiled at him weirdly: "But you can't go back." ”

"What do you mean?" He doesn't understand.

Duan Rongxuan said word by word: "Because-in the eyes of the Eastern Wei people, the second son of the Lin family has already fallen off the cliff and died, and there are no bones!" Your lovely fiancée, when she learned of your death, wiped her neck with a sword. ”

He was trembling all over, half frightened, half shocked: "You lied! I'm not dead! ”

"Yes, you're not dead, but what's the matter? Your carriage has fallen off a cliff and scattered to pieces. All your belongings were left at the bottom of the valley, including the jade pendant of your Lin family, which was handed down from male to female, and was also broken into two. And your precious codex, and your blood, the hair and footprints of the wild wolf that I deliberately left, even if they can't see the corpse, they will believe that you have eaten the wild wolf and will never come back. Duan Rongxuan's every word seemed to be quenched with poison: "Moreover, even if you go back, what's the use?" Nangong Jin is dead, the Duke of Yasukuni hates you to the bone, do you think you are still alive? ”

"Impossible! No way! He almost collapsed, his eyes wide, and his sockets were already red.

Duan Rongxuan chuckled: "Then you just watch." ”

After that, every few days, the girls would tell her about the recent events of the Eastern Wei Dynasty. Nangong Jin died, the Duke of Yasukuni went to the battlefield and died on the battlefield, the eldest princess was depressed and seriously ill in bed, all of them were all about the Nangong family.

Of course, there are also the Lin family.

His father became a big official, his brother also entered the official career, and his tomb was repaired in Beijing, but the Nangong family resolutely disagreed, and was not buried with Nangong Jin.

He always listened with a blank face, not believing a word. He is working hard to cultivate his body, he has to find a way to return to the Eastern Wei Dynasty, he must not die of old age in Southern Chu!

On this day, his chance came. The two girls who were taking care of him were not paying attention, and he walked out of the yard in a wheelchair. But he didn't go too far, and before he got out of the alley, Duan Rongxuan chased after him with someone. It was also on this day that he finally knew Duan Rongxuan's identity, and knew that from the beginning, Duan Rongxuan was deliberately close to him. He hated his carelessness, how could he believe this man's nonsense, and let him go all the way?

But the more Duan Rongxuan was so nervous, the clearer it became in his heart that Duan Rongxuan was lying!

Jin'er must not be dead, as long as she walks out the door, she will definitely find out the exact news.

He was silent from then on, devoting all his energy to recuperating his injuries, and when the wound on his leg was not so painful, although he couldn't walk on the ground, he didn't get into a cold sweat when he moved a single step, and he finally heard different news from Duan Rongxuan's mouth.

That night, Duan Rongxuan came into the house, looked at him for a long time, and suddenly sighed: "Why do you have to be so obsessed with knowing her news?" She's just a negative person. Soon after the news of your death returned to Kyoto, the emperor of the Eastern Wei Dynasty gave her a marriage to someone else in order to appease the Nangong family. Just seven days ago, she got married in a beautiful way, and the team to welcome her relatives was ten miles long and the street was Haohao Tangtang, where would you remember you, a half-dead person? ”

"She won't." He whispered.

He understands Nangong Jin's temper, his girl has a strong personality, and she will never lose him.

Duan Rongxuan continued: "The reason why I lied to you is that I don't want you to be sad. You've broken your body and let me worry about it for no reason, so what's the pain? If you don't believe it, when you recover from your injuries, I'll take you back to the Eastern Wei Dynasty to have a look. ”

His eyebrows jumped, and a bold idea came to his mind.

Eastern Wei, he must go back, but he will never let Duan Rongxuan take him back. Duan Rongxuan led him to see, could it still be the truth? This man, however, had been trying to get close to him from the very beginning!

Now that he has decided, he has to do it, he is now a caged bird, but there is nothing to fear of losing. He let it go, even if he gave up his dignity and body, how could those compare to the weight of the person in his heart?

This night, he endured the pain and sent himself out completely.

When he woke up the next day, he was covered in pain, but he didn't regret it. This night earned Duan Rongxuan's trust, he no longer guarded him like a prisoner, and allowed him to move freely in the house. He was not polite, and when he had free time, he let Linglong, the servant girl who served him, push her out for a walk and bask in the sun.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, if there are passers-by outside the small courtyard, Duan Rongxuan is no longer there, he will take the opportunity to inquire about some Nangong Jin.

Although Linglong was sent by Duan Rongxuan, he is a veteran of the love scene, how can he not know a woman's thoughts. She has affection for herself, even if it is shallow, as long as there is a trace of guilt and pity, he can intermittently know some news about Nangong Jin from these passers-by.

He knew that Nangong Jin was not married, she went to the battlefield and became the commander of the Northwest Army.

He knew that the Yasukuni Princesses had passed away, and she had become the head of the Yasukuni Mansion.

He knew that everyone in the Eastern Wei Dynasty regarded her as a disaster star, no one dared to marry her, and she was too old to be ridiculed......

When he heard the good news, he was so happy that he couldn't sleep for days and nights. Hearing that she had been wronged, he didn't want to talk to anyone for days. Hearing that she was injured, he began to think of medical books as best he could, and wanted to find some good medicine.

Of course, these are all done behind the scenes, and Duan Rongxuan must not be allowed to know.

Fortunately, Duan Rongxuan is not often here, he is the Nine Emperor Princes, and if he wants to go back to Kyoto, and then come from Kyoto, there will always be time for him to do this. It took him more than two years to convince Linglong and the two maidservants to help him hide these humble wishes, and finally find a moment of peace in this small courtyard.

For three years, he kept trying various methods, trying to heal his leg and escape from this small courtyard, but there was no way.

Especially after Duan Rongxuan stabbed something on his back, he was not allowed to take half a step out of this courtyard, and after a long time, no matter how firm his heart was, he was a little desperate.

When the days are quiet, he always wants to think crankily, he is getting thinner and thinner, and sometimes Linglong looks at him, and he can't help crying and sighing.

Until this day.

There were some changes in Beijing, Duan Rongxuan wanted to return to Beijing for a while, so he took advantage of this time to inquire about Nangong Jin's news, but unexpectedly, a leather merchant who passed by unintentionally revealed a shocking secret.

Listening to the treatment Nangong Jin received, he only felt that the blood in his body was cold and hot for a while, and he couldn't wait to fly to Nangong Jin's side immediately and hold his little girl tightly in his arms. I seemed to hold my breath in my chest, and I wanted to shout loudly and announce to the whole world: his little girl is not a disaster star, and he is by no means Nangong Jinke's, his girl is the best girl in the world, the best!

However, another voice sneered in the bottom of his heart: what if she is the best, and where are you when she encounters these injustices? Why can't you stay with her?

All anger was extinguished in an instant, and he shut himself in his room, crying bitterly for the first time in three years.

A few days later, Duan Rongxuan, who was supposed to stay for half a month, came back, and as soon as he entered the house, he sneered, but he didn't care, he couldn't muster up the strength to perfunctory Duan Rongxuan, seeking a moment of survival.

He was thinking about things in the house, when he suddenly heard a rush of shouts outside the house, it turned out that there was a fire, and he felt that the surroundings were hot. However, he didn't want to move, and even thought to himself: "Burn it, it's best to burn it to ashes, like this...... You can't be with her when you're alive, but it's okay to be dead, right? ”
