"Does Hikoki miss her mother?"

"Yes."

"Then you go to sleep quickly, and when you fall asleep, the concubine will come out to see you." Leng Xianning sat on the edge of the bed, gently held his hand, and comforted.

Hearing this, Baili Yanxi moved neatly into the quilt, but the slender fingers held her hand tightly, for fear that she would leave while she was asleep.

Leng Xian Ning took his hand and with a wave of his hand, extinguishing the flickering candle flame on the table.

The moonlight in one room, the silence in the other, only the sound of each other's breathing echoed softly. The moonlight sprinkled on Leng Xian's face, but it was indescribably cold.

The night is deeper, and the moonlight is thicker.

"Leaving this place of right and wrong may be a good thing for you. No one will hurt you anymore, and no one will bully you. You can live a carefree life by your uncle's side. ”

Leng Xianning let go of the hand holding him, his cold fingers touched his sleeping face, and looked at him distressedly, "Fourth brother, from today onwards, you have to learn to grow up, learn to protect yourself, and learn to live alone, you know?" ”

“······”

Tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, dripped on Baili Hiko's hands, along the back of his hands, slid into the futon, and disappeared.

"I can't protect you for the rest of your life, no matter what happens, you have to be strong and live happily. Ning'er can't be the wife of the fourth brother, and will always accompany the fourth brother. ”

“······”

Leng Xianning's voice was a little choked, some things will feel sad when they are said, and some things will feel reluctant when they are reasonable, maybe, it will not be long before they are separated, and I don't know how long it will take to see each other again.

"Perhaps, when the fourth brother arrives in Lingyang City, the father will choose a concubine for the fourth brother. At that time, the fourth brother will have another lady, she will take care of you, cherish you, and will not dislike the fourth brother's IQ. will hold hands and watch the sunset with the fourth brother, perhaps, by then, the fourth brother will forget Ning'er. ”

“······”

"Ning'er may be sad at that time, but Ning'er will also bless the fourth brother. Ning'er will always protect the fourth brother and prevent the fourth brother from being harmed. ”

After speaking, Leng Xian Ning leaned down, his cold lips fell on his smooth forehead, and tears dripped on Bai Li Yanxi's eyelashes, and he also seemed to be crying.

The room returned to silence, and the figure of Leng Xian Ning was gone. In the dark, a pair of clear eyes were open for a long time, and a tear slowly fell and drowned in the pillow.

The Imperial Study

Baili Yu Xin looked at the mountains of twists and turns in front of him and stroked his forehead. glanced at the person standing behind him holding a fan, and said lightly,

"Lin Hai, you have something to say."

"Your Majesty." Lin Hai stopped what he was doing, and said in a respectful tone, "The envoy of the Donglu Kingdom is expected to arrive in ten days, and this princess has already agreed to marry, the slave is ignorant, I don't know what the emperor is still worried about?" ”

"Huh." Baili Yu Xin chuckled, "Lin Hai, you have been in the palace for so long since the first emperor came to me, don't you know what I am worried about?" ”

Lin Hai looked stunned, smiled and shook his head, "How dare a slave speculate about the holy will at will." ”

"You have followed me for so long, you are the person I trust the most, you can speculate this time, I forgive you for your innocence." Baili Yu Xin's brows were tightly locked, but his tone was unusually brisk.

"Forgive the slave for saying bluntly, the emperor doesn't want the princess to marry to Donglu. It's just that the minions don't understand, why doesn't the emperor directly refuse the peace of the eastern foothills, with General Qi Feng's army, we may not lose. ”

"I don't want Ning'er to marry Donglu, but I don't want to refuse Donglu's affinity, Donglu's national teacher is mysterious, his identity is weird, and he has the ability to predict the future in legend. I want to take this opportunity to meet him for a while. ”

Baili Yu Xin said, staring at the incense burner in front of him with faint eyes, and the curling smoke rose from it, with a thin mist, blinding his eyes.

"But, doesn't this princess have to be married?"

Lin Hai frowned slightly, obviously not understanding what the master meant.

"You don't know much about my condensation." After speaking, Baili Yu Xin laughed softly, the smell of pampering in it was very strong, and even he didn't notice it, "How can Ning Er be a person who is sitting still, she will definitely find a way to escape from marriage." ”

Baili Yu Xin said firmly, he has raised his baby for so many years, and of course he knows her character very well. When she agreed, he understood that it was her right, and besides, the words he had written on her hand that night, he was sure that she would understand.

"It's the foolishness of the minions." Lin Hai continued to fan the fan, yes, how could this little master be at the mercy of others? If there is such a day, you should be prepared.
