Chapter 063: Courtiers Can't Play Chess
Liu Wenzhe was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Rui'er, don't investigate this matter anymore, my uncle knows it." ”
Ling Qingrui narrowed her eyes slightly, when her aunt had just passed away and she went to see Liu Wenzhe, he had said that he knew the whole story and asked her not to track it down, why was it still like this at this time?
Even such a big thing as destroying the hatred of the door will not hide it from her now, why ......
And Liu Wenzhe looked at Ling Qingrui, and there was a burst of pain in his heart, how should he tell her that the truth about her aunt's death that she was so hard to find was actually Ling who committed suicide by taking poison in order to protect her?
At that time, Aunt Shen instigated Ling Qingrui to go to the temple to pray for blessings, and Liu Wenzhe did not doubt that he would let her go.
Who would have thought that just after Ling Qingrui went to incense, Aunt Shen found the Ling family and told the Ling family to either hand over the Ling family's ancestral things, or they would never see Ling Qingrui again.
The Ling family was shocked when they heard Aunt Shen's threat, and under the pretext that they needed to consider delaying time, they then sent Mama Wei to Liu Wenzhe's study to get water-patterned rice paper, which was actually a code that had been agreed with Liu Wenzhe for a long time.
Liu Wenzhe received Ling's code, so he immediately secretly rushed to Ling's room, and after learning about Ling Qingrui's matter, he immediately sent someone to find Ling Qingrui's whereabouts.
The Ling family thinks that as long as she lives for one day, Aunt Shen or the mastermind behind the scenes will not give up for a day, only when she dies in Liufu can she get peace, and only when she dies Ling Qingrui will no longer be in danger.
After the Ling family urgently begged Liu Wenzhe to save Ling Qingrui, when Liu Wenzhe was about to leave, he took out a letter from under the pillow, and then in front of Liu Wenzhe, he took the poison of falling feathers!
Liu Wenzhe hugged Ling Shi in pain but powerlessly, listened to her intermittent advice not to let Ling Qingrui know the truth, and saw that she was reluctant to shed the last tears, and fell asleep in his arms forever!
No one knows how strong the pain of Liu Wenzhe's heart breaking at that moment is!
No one knows what kind of willpower Liu Wenzhe used, pretending that nothing had happened, and forcing himself to leave Ling's room immediately, until he received the news of Ling's death from his subordinates, and pretended to be indifferent and didn't care at all......
Except for Ning Feng, no one knew that what he told Ning Feng outside the door of the Ling family was actually not to hold a funeral for the Ling family, but to order Ning Feng to find Ling Qingrui's whereabouts, even if she really encountered any accidents, he would save her at all costs, because this was the Ling family's last wish.
No one knew how he sat quietly in front of Ling's bed before Ling Qingrui came back, looking at her remains, but he couldn't shed a single tear, how painful his heart was!
He came out of Ling's room, didn't look at Ling Qingrui, didn't say a word to her, because he didn't dare, he was afraid that if he spoke, once he glanced at Ling Qingrui, tears would not help but fall!
Ling's suicide note once said that if Ling Qingrui can't remember the past in this life, if Ling Qingrui won't find the letter in the half-moon pendant in this life, then let all this be dusted, she only hopes that Ling Qingrui can live well in this life.
Liu Wenzhe followed the advice of the Ling family, treated Ling Qingrui with indifference, secretly protected her, did not let her pursue the truth, and waited for the day when Ling Qingrui and Lu handed over the ancestral bracelet of the Ling family to her.
As for telling Ling Qingrui all the truth, it was only later that Liu Wenzhe saw that she was strong and intelligent, and might be able to support this hatred, so he changed his original mind.
It's just that Liu Wenzhe couldn't bear to tell Ling Qingrui the truth about Ling's death, such a truth was too cruel for Ling Qingrui, who was struggling to investigate.
He would rather bear such pain alone than let Ling Qingrui feel any guilt.
Ling Qingrui looked at Liu Wenzhe's distant back, still so indifferent and lonely, and suddenly felt that the sun was so dazzling, she couldn't help but moisten her eyes.
Stroking the bracelet on her wrist, Ling Qingrui walked thoughtfully in the garden, thinking about which of the half-moon pendant and this bracelet was the ancestral object of the Ling family, or both? What kind of secrets are hidden in these two items that have been passed down from generation to generation for hundreds of years?
"Miss Rui, be careful!"
With a gentle reminder and a few light coughs, Ling Qingrui, who was distracted, subconsciously stopped, and then saw that she had actually walked to the edge of the pool, and if she took another step forward, I was afraid that she would have to fall into the water.
There was a faint smell of medicine behind her, Ling Qingrui turned around and saw Jing Mofeng who was coughing lightly not far from her, his slender jade hand seemed to want to hold Ling Qingrui, and at this time he had just retracted the appearance that he had put to his lips.
Ling Qingrui said, "I've seen Your Highness." ”
Jing Mofeng waved his hand to signal that Ling Qingrui didn't need to be polite, but he didn't stop coughing lightly, coughing so that his originally pale face was dyed with a little red, and the cough was heartbreaking.
Seeing Jing Mofeng like this, Ling Qingrui knew in her heart that Jing Mofeng was indeed as sick as the news from the early snow two days ago said.
Li Xin, who was supporting Jing Mofeng on the side, said anxiously: "Your Highness, your subordinates said that you can't blow the wind, but Your Highness still doesn't listen, it's terrible." ”
As he spoke, Li Xin raised his hand and patted Jing Mofeng's back to help him smooth his breath, but who knew that it seemed to be heavy, and Jing Mofeng's light cough suddenly worsened a little, making Li Xin suddenly stunned in place at a loss.
Ling Qingrui saw that Jing Mofeng was coughing really uncomfortably, and couldn't help but speak: "Guard Li, you help His Highness to the pavilion, avoid the wind for a while, and then gently rub the acupuncture points of Hegu, Lieqi, Lung and Dingqi for His Highness." ”
"Huh? Ah, thank you, Miss Rui! ”
Li Xinleng reacted after a moment, and hurriedly did what Ling Qingrui said, as a person who practiced martial arts, these acupuncture points were naturally well known, and he didn't need Ling Qingrui to find them.
After Li Xin rubbed the acupuncture points for a while, Jing Mofeng's light cough was relieved, and his face slowly returned to a pale appearance.
The breeze came slowly, and Ling Qingrui smelled a faint smell mixed with the smell of medicine, which seemed to have some familiar smell, which couldn't help but make her frown slightly.
At this time, Jing Mofeng said with a warm smile on his lips: "Mofeng has been sick for the past few days, and I haven't had time to ask a word, I don't know if the purple butterfly flower damaged by Mofeng survived that day?" ”
Ling Qingrui, whose thoughts were interrupted, hurriedly came back to her senses and said, "I have already lived, and His Highness still remembers these little things." ”
"It's Mo Feng's negligence, and Mo Feng has always felt guilty in his heart. Seeing that Miss Rui knew so much about medicinal herbs, she thought she liked these, so she asked Li Xin to find some rare medicinal herbs, I wonder if Miss Rui is interested in raising one or two? ”
Jing Mofeng looked at Li Xin as he spoke, and motioned for him to go and get those herbs, Li Xin didn't want Jing Mofeng to have no one around him, but he was slightly glanced at by Jing Mofeng, so he put down the small package he was carrying and left reluctantly.
In the gazebo, no one spoke for a while, and there was silence.
After Jing Mofeng coughed lightly a few times again, he opened the small package, but it was a pair of Go chessboards and two chess tubes full of chess pieces.
Elegantly setting up the chessboard, Jing Mofeng asked gently, "Can Miss Rui accompany Mofeng to play a game of chess?" ”
Ling Qingrui shook her head slightly and said, "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Your Highness, the courtiers don't know how to play chess." ”
Jing Mofeng, who was holding a black chess piece in his hand, paused slightly, and then smiled lightly: "It's okay, it's difficult for Mofeng to be strong." ”
Except for the slight pause of his fingers, Jing Mofeng didn't have any extra expressions, and he didn't ask Ling Qingrui why he couldn't, for almost any lady who knew some chess, and Ling Qingrui didn't know this, as if it was normal.
Jing Mofeng didn't care, and played chess by himself.
Ling Qingrui looked at Jing Mofeng's fingers as white as jade, and insisted that the black seed fell on the chessboard, one black and one white were so distinct, and then he picked up a white piece and gently landed on the chessboard, the expression on his face was focused and serious, and his eyes were as clear as a clear spring.
For some reason, Ling Qingrui suddenly felt that such clear eyes didn't seem to appear on the body of a prince, at least not on the body of the fifth prince.
The jealous prowess and favor of his childhood, the fall from grace after losing the protection of his mother, how could such a person who had gone from heaven to hell, especially in the royal family, survive if his eyes were as clear and innocent as his eyes?
Perhaps it was Ling Qingrui's gaze that brought too much research and judgment, which made Jing Mofeng notice, he raised his eyes slightly to look at Ling Qingrui, and a faint smile bloomed on his lips.
Just at this glance, Ling Qingrui suddenly had a little trance, what kind of eyes are as warm as jade, and what kind of smile is warm and straight to the bottom of the heart, making people feel as if their hearts are about to melt at this moment.
Shaking her head slightly, Ling Qingrui threw out the inexplicable warmth brought by Jing Mofeng's smile, picked up a white child, and put it on the chessboard casually.
Immediately, a good game of chess was completely ruined by this white piece.
Jing Mofeng didn't have the slightest anger, just frowned slightly and looked at the white one, looked at it for a long time, the black piece in his hand sprinkled in the chess tube, and suddenly laughed, although it was not a loud laugh, but it was unusually good.
Just because of a chess piece that Ling Qingrui dropped indiscriminately, Jing Mofeng was willing to admit defeat.
In Jing Mofeng's laughter, Ling Qingrui's cheeks suddenly blushed slightly, and she reached out in a panic to get the white seed she put down, but she touched the other hand.
Jing Mofeng's slightly cool fingers and Ling Qingrui's slightly warm fingers touched lightly, and the two of them immediately retracted their fingers as if they had been burned.
A warm breeze passed between the two of them......
At this moment, Li Xin, who went back to get the herbs, came in a hurry, his hands were empty, but the expression on his face was extremely nervous and anxious!
