Chapter Twenty-Three: Once in Love
Although Xing'er can come and go freely inside and outside Duanmu Palace, since she stepped out of the dormitory, there are people who follow her all the time.
She went to the Shanggong Bureau to check the ornaments of the princess's wedding day, and after a long time with Si Zhen's female official, she put forward many opinions before taking the only satisfactory Qingyun Fu hairpin back to restore her life.
In the hall, when there was no one around, Chu Tiange turned his hairpin head lightly and pulled out a note hidden in it from the thin hairpin body.
After reading it, she opened the lampshade and tried to burn it to ashes with the candle flame, but just as she lit a corner, the hall was pushed open, and the note fell to the ground with a shake of her hand.
Xing'er quickly stepped on it, stuffed it into her mouth with the paper edge ash, and chewed it clean.
Chu Tiange took advantage of Li Yunlin's gaze to lock on Xing'er, and without moving, he stuffed the hairpin and hairpin body that had been divided into two parts under the mattress at hand.
Now that there is no proof of death, he is just suspicious, and there is nothing he can do.
Under the cold saw-like gaze, Xing'er knelt down silently, looking like she was dying of generosity.
"Drag it out and go to the penalty."
Chu Tiange hurriedly knelt on his side, hugged Xing'er tightly, and said sharply: "Who dares!" ”
The attendants hesitated and didn't know whether to step forward or not, this is the future crown princess, the prince's recent accommodation towards her is obvious to all, how dare they step forward to fight, just waiting for the prince's order again.
Li Yunlin's face was calm, her big dry hand grabbed Chu Tiange's wrist, her resistance was extremely weak, and she let him drag him aside like a kitten.
"If she says what she swallows, she doesn't have to be punished."
Chu Tiange hurriedly said: "If you dare to touch her, I will die here!" ”
"If you hit yourself to death, I'll let Xing'er try the taste of peeling and cramping." Li Yunlin snorted coldly.
Threat, when he has been threatened by someone, he will most use people's weakness to clamp down on the other party.
She thought she was his weakness, but she wasn't.
Chu Tiange knelt beside him, one hand was firmly dragged, and he almost begged: "Don't be like this, she is my only relative, I can't live without her, she can't stand your punishment." ”
Li Yunlin's cold eyes seemed to shake for a moment, and then they were covered with a fierce color.
"She's your only relative, what about me, what am I?"
His slightly cool hand was like an iron ring locking her in the cellar, and the more he struggled, the more painful it became, Chu Tiange felt bitter in his heart, you? You're a hammer!
Xing'er moved her knees and kowtowed to Chu Tiange, "I'd rather die, please...... Don't remember the princess. ”
"Okay," Li Yunlin ordered again, "take it away." ”
Chu Tiange watched Xing'er being dragged out of the hall, his face turned pale with anxiety, his other hand held his wrist, and compromised: "I said, I told me what she swallowed, and you let her go." ”
She didn't seem to take the initiative to shake him for a long time, and such a cold hand was not like the temperature in her memory.
Li Yunlin nodded stiffly, and the attendant who dragged the person to the door of the hall also stopped.
Chu Tiange felt that the strength of her wrist was gradually decreasing, even if she didn't say it, Li Yunlin already had suspicions, and she would definitely not let Xing'er have any dealings with people outside Duanmu Palace.
Maybe it's fate.
Chu Tiange adjusted his breathing and said slowly: "This is ......"
"Your Highness's forgiveness!"
Qian Chuan knelt down and interrupted her, "That's a love letter I wrote to Xing'er!" ”
When he said this, everyone present was shocked, and Chu Tiange was stunned.
Xing'er reacted very quickly and threw herself to Qian Chuan's side, tears raining down, "You fool, fornication is a capital crime, I can bear it alone, what are you doing when you run out!" ”
Qian Chuan hugged her, his voice was slightly hoarse, "Don't be afraid, I will accompany you in life and death." ”
Li Yunlin looked at Chu Tiange who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief, her reddened eyes drooped slightly, as if she had endured a great grievance.
Yes, Xing'er was watched very closely when she came out of this palace gate, where did she get the opportunity to pass a note to outsiders? It can only be the people who are nearby.
It's no wonder that Xing'er is in such a hurry and swallows so decisively.
It's that he thinks too much.
Li Yunlin picked up Tiange with some shame, held her shoulders, and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier." I'm also happy that they can walk together. ”
"Can you fulfill them?" Chu Tiange asked him with some surprise.
Only then did Li Yunlin notice that her wrist had been pinched by herself, and she gently stroked it painfully in the center of her palm.
"We've been together for so long, they should have known each other a long time ago, they are both teenagers and girls, it's hard not to be tempted. Don't you think that their union is proof that we once loved each other? ”
When Qian Chuan heard this, his heart jumped with joy, but when he saw Xing'er's disgusted expression, he was silent.
Her expression of disgust from the bottom of her heart was for the prince.
We were in love.
Chu Tiange shuddered uncontrollably, he really didn't realize how cruel such a past was, so much so that every time she remembered it, it was like a bayonet cutting out her heart, like pieces of flesh and blood being cut alive.
"I'm tired and want to rest."
A farce hanging in my heart, and in the end it seemed to end happily.
She was lying on the concubine couch, Li Yunlin carefully drugged her, lowered her head and said with shame: "If you are not happy, you can pinch me and kick me." ”
For countless days and nights, he thought about the old Tiange, would fight with him, pinch his face and arms angrily, and gently kick him to urge him to buy a flower chicken.
At that time, Tiange always smiled like a warm sun, her eyebrows and eyes were clear and clear, like a blue lake that could be seen through at a glance, and her hands were also warm, never cold.
Chu Tiange said lightly: "I don't hate you anymore. ”
It was supposed to be a sentence that made him happy, but he couldn't be happy.
Her calm and dull eyes are as deep as the sea, containing a lot of complicated things, but without his shadow, she can't even see hatred, what does it mean?
"Hate me, you haven't taken revenge on me yet."
Li Yunlin's hand trembled slightly.
Chu Tiange frowned lightly and shook his head, "It's really tiring to hate someone." Yunlin, promise me one more thing, okay? ”
"You say."
He plugged the vial and set it aside.
"No matter what happens, don't touch Xing'er, don't kill her, can you do it."
She knew that this person's promise was not valuable, but she still wanted this sentence, and Bo Ta's little human performance was thoughtful.
Li Yunlin was originally afraid that she would say something that would embarrass him, but until she said it, he was almost relieved.
"Okay, I promise, as long as you stay with me."
He just made a request in passing, but saw her purse her lips and didn't say anything for a long time.
Li Yunlin's voice was slightly cold, "If you run away, I can't guarantee that I won't kill her." If you die, I'll bury her alive for you. As long as you stay by my side, no matter what she does, I won't touch her. ”
Chu Tiange withdrew his hand violently, unable to bear the disappointment.
She turned her back to the side, and said lightly: "Yes, you can't do anything, you have betrayed what you promised me before, what do I still have to do with your promise?" Love me alone, you can't do it. Never hurt me, you can't do it, you bully me and hurt me, even my maid, you can't look at the old love and raise your noble hand...... You go, let me be alone for a while. ”
Li Yunlin was by her side, her feet seemed to have roots and she couldn't move, and her heart was bitter, "I only love you alone, really, I have never had anyone else in my heart, Tiange, it's not that I can't do it......"
"Don't say it."
Her brows furrowed slightly, a little painful, and a little disgusted, "You still want to use the people I care about to threaten me, I'm very disappointed in you, you can go." ”
Li Yunlin's slightly drooping eyes were red.
"It's not that I'm threatening you, I just don't have any other way to keep you, I'm going to panic, I'm going to be scared."
