He crawled all the way to the bed, climbed onto the edge of the bed, and when his eyes fell on Wang Xi's face, he suddenly flourished, as if a hungry wolf who had been foraging for many days suddenly met a sweet lamb, and he was so greedy that he was almost crazy.

Wang Xi's eyes were obviously closed, but he seemed to feel the pressure of his gaze, his body trembled uncontrollably, and tears gradually slipped from the corners of his eyes.

"Wang Xi," he called, his voice hoarse.

Wang Xi didn't respond, but his body trembled even more, as if he was very afraid of him.

Lin Jiaruo couldn't help but want to step forward, but was gently held down by Lin Zhizhi.

"Wang Xi" he called again, his eyes fell on her wrist, "Wang Xi, I was wrong"

For some reason, hearing this, Lin Jiaruo seemed to have lost his strength all over his body, and he didn't struggle forward anymore, his eyes were slightly hot, and he had the urge to cry.

"Wang Xi" he raised his hand and stroked her wrist slightly, "I will never see you again, you don't want to die"

He saw tears welling up between the girl's closed eyes, and wanted to raise his hand to wipe it away for her, but he just lifted it and slowly withdrew it.

He lowered his head and kissed her wound lightly, feeling her curled fingers rubbing against the skin of his neck like butterfly wings, without a trace of warmth, but he was suddenly satisfied.

He looked up, his gaze suddenly attached.

"Wang Xi, I'm leaving"

"You're going to be good"

After saying his last words, he fell back to the ground, turned around and crawled out of the house, his face indifferent.

A month later, Wang Xi left the capital.

Seeing the Wang family's convoy disappear into the wilderness on the outskirts of Beijing, Lin Jiaruo stayed stunned for a long time, until a gust of autumn wind hit, which made people feel chilled.

Lin Zhizhi put on a cloak and hat for her, and said, "Let's go back!" ”

Lin Jiaruo nodded, and he didn't know whether he wanted to or not, so he asked, "What is the second brother doing?" ”

"Ah Quan said that he has been staying at home for a month, borrowing wine all day to drown his sorrows!"

Lin Jiaruo frowned.

It is right to stay at home, firstly, he was broken by Lin Zhizhi that day, although his subordinates were merciful, he could not get off the ground within two months, and secondly, his father grounded him for two months.

It's just a drink to drown your sorrows

"Go back to the palace and get a jar of fruit to brew!" Lin Jiaruo commanded.

When he saw Lin Xiu, he was holding a beaded hairpin in his hand, looking intently in the dim light, and there was a wine jar on the side, Lin Jiaruo carried it, and it was already empty.

The people who want to come out of the army don't drink badly, anyway, Lin Xiuzhi's eyes are still clear, and the cold look when he saw her is the same as always.

Lin Jiaruo put the wine he brought in front of him and said, "This is the wine brewed by Wang Xi!" ”

His eyes changed, he put the hairpin into his arms, stretched out his hands, hugged the wine jar brought by Lin Jiaruo in his arms, lowered his head and sniffed it, but did not open it to drink.

"The Wang family will pay tribute to fifty altars every year, you can save some drink!" Lin Jiaruo said.

After saying this, she didn't know what else to say to Lin Xiuzhi, so she turned around to leave.

"Fourth sister," he suddenly called out to her.

It can be seen that Lin Jiaruo turned around, he stopped talking for a long time, and still didn't say anything.

Lin Jiaruo sighed and said, "I knew today, why bother in the first place!" ”

Lin Xiuzhi lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: "The day I returned to Beijing, I met her, God obviously arranged everything, but let me mess up my fourth sister, my father said that I was blunt, I still don't believe it"

Seeing him like this, Lin Jiaruo couldn't complain, and persuaded softly: "Second brother, this is probably fate, you forget her."

He bowed his head and said nothing.

Lin Jiaruo was silent for a while, still feeling that she had nothing to say.

When she was about to leave silently again, Lin Xiuzhi called out to her again.

"Bai Lu should have been sent by Pei's family," he said lightly, "I will continue to stay by my side and see what they want to do." ”

Lin Jiaruo glanced at him in surprise, it turned out that he knew that it was in vain to dare to love Feng Wentong.

"And that Feng Wentong, I think he is very weird, and he seems to know me very well!"

Lin Jiaruo was even more surprised.

This second brother, looking silent, turned out to be clear in his heart.

Why did you make a mistake about Wang Xi?

"I know that someone wants to win me over to pave the way for Concubine Pei's son" Lin Xiuzhi raised his eyes and glanced at her indifferently, "I won't participate in this, but I have a lot of support from Your Majesty, and I don't want to see him kill each other, fourth sister, you can do it yourself!" ”

Lin Jiaruo nodded, his position was the same as she guessed.

He wouldn't allow others to harm her, but he wouldn't allow her to hurt Concubine Pei's son.

She turned to leave again, and when she walked to the door, he seemed to remember something temporarily, and said, "Feng Wentong once asked me about a female guard beside you."

He thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be called Swallow!" ”

Yanzi took a letter that was secretly delivered to Lin Jiaruo, and said with a happy face: "is also here this time!" ”

Lin Jiaruo took the letter in surprise, quickly opened it, and asked while reading it: "Did my mother come by herself or come with Yan Wangxi?" Is General Yan coming? Isn't it almost a few days coming? ”

Yan Zi said: "Tu San said, General Yan Xiao is here, General Yan can't leave, so he didn't come, Xu Niangzi should arrive on the same day as General Yan Xiao, but they are separated from two teams!" ”

This letter was sent by the earth guard before Xu Yaoning set off, and it should be on the way now, but I don't know where it went.

After Lin Jiaruo read the letter, he took out the fire fold and carefully burned the letter to ashes, then walked out of the Palm Bead Hall and walked towards the Zichen Palace.

The door of the Zichen Hall was closed, and the attendant at the door said, "Your Majesty is discussing with the ministers!" ”

The palace council did not stop Lin Jiaruo, and when he pushed the door in, he happened to hear the Zhongshu Ling Wei Xuancheng said: "The Yan family is coming to the dynasty soon, and His Royal Highness the county king is really confident that he will merge the prefecture and county in the Guannei Prefecture into the replacement roster?" ”

"Faith is there!" Lin Jiaruo said.

Wei Xuancheng saw her, his face turned cold, and he snorted: "I heard that Her Royal Highness the princess has a lot of guidance on the roster of Guanzhong and Jiangnan, could it be that Longxi has also drawn it up?" ”

"That's right!" Lin Jiaruo nodded.

Wei Xuancheng sneered: "I don't know where Her Royal Highness the princess has taken a fancy to Longxi?" ”

Lin Jiaruo said: "Chang'an Mansion! ”

"!" Wei Xuancheng's eyes widened, with a look of disdain, "How can the Yan clan give up Chang'an Mansion?" ”

Lin Jiaruo's face did not change: "It's not a concession, it's an exchange!" ”

Shang Shu made Xie Xuanshu's face move, and he asked, "How does Her Royal Highness the princess want to exchange?" ”

"Exchange Jingzhao Mansion for Chang'an Mansion!"

Everyone in the hall was silent for a moment, and Lin Shisheng suddenly clapped his hands and laughed: "My son is so courageous!" The Lin family is not afraid to give up Jingzhao Mansion, can the Yan family dare to hand over Chang'an Mansion? ”

The waiter Gambo Fu asked, "So?" Who can be appointed to Chang'an Mansion? ”

Lin Jiaruo hesitated slightly, but still spoke: "Too often Shaoqing Yuan Yan!" ”

Wei Xuancheng and Xie Xuanshu didn't have any opinions on this candidate, Gan Bofu frowned and glanced at Lin Zhiyi, and also acquiesced.

Lin Zhizhi smiled slightly and said, "Next, just wait for the Yan envoy to come to the court, and then you can discuss it in detail!" ”

Lin Jiaruo perked up and asked the question she deliberately ran over to ask: "When will the Yan family arrive in Beijing?" ”
