In Beiyuan City, after Qin Jinning, the king of Ning, led the crowd to worship, when he passed by an old man who sold flowers, he turned over and dismounted and bought a delicate flower, and then rode back to King Ning's mansion, all the way to the study, and the deputy general Chu who followed behind him closed the door and took out a letter from his arms to him.

"Lord, a letter from that person in Shengjing."

After reading it, King Ning stood with his hands in his hands, looked out the window, and looked at it for a moment before he spoke, "The prince is already on the way, how is the progress in Yanzhou?"

"Lord Wang, Yanzhou has been constantly stepping up manpower, and it's almost over."

King Ning laughed, "Okay. The affairs of Yanzhou should not be found out to our heads, let people keep an eye on them, if there is a case, if they have thoughts that they should not have and do things that should not be done, they will be cut off before then."

"Yes. Lord, do you want to send someone to drag His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

King Ning closed his eyes, took a breath of the refreshing air outside the window, and said, "What use us, the people over there in Yanzhou will make some moves." He laughed, "Except for the words of His Majesty today, we in Beiyuan don't hear anything outside the window, we only know how to stick to this side, we don't know what happened to Yanzhou, and it has nothing to do with it, so why do we need to stretch out this hand."

"Yes, my subordinates understand." Vice General Chu arched his hand and retreated.

King Ning slowly walked to the Bogu shelf, twisted a porcelain bottle on it, the wall in front of him immediately moved, turned half a circle, he walked in, went down the stone stairs, the more he walked, he coughed more and more, until it was almost the basement, he endured it until he no longer coughed sound, he went in again.

In the center of it, there is a life-size female statue carved from jade.

He walked over, stretched out his hand to caress its cheek, the cold touch, made him subconsciously frown, withdrew his hand, he walked to the side again, pressed the night pearl on the stone pillar and walked back, stretched out his hand again, felt the warmth from the portrait, he relaxed his brow and said, "I'm sorry, you said you don't like cold, but I was negligent."

As when he saw her when he was young, he took out a flower from behind his back and shook it twice in front of her eyes, and asked with a toothy smile, "This flower is blooming very well today, do you like it?"

The figure Wuling naturally couldn't respond, he knew it in his heart, and he had long been used to it, but he still put the flower in the figure's hand and continued to talk to himself.

"Give me a little more time, soon, soon I will be able to avenge you, I will be able to take you home, we ......" he hugged the stone statue, "we can be together."

He stayed in the basement for a long time before he reluctantly left, and as soon as he went up, he heard a knock at the door.

"Come in."

Entering was a woman dressed in white, unbelievably beautiful, and if you didn't look closely, it was somewhat similar to the statue of Fang Cai.

She put the tray in her hand on the small table, walked up to King Ning, bowed, and pointed to the soup cup on the plate.

King Ning was still looking at her face with tenderness and distraction, but when she approached, he quickly withdrew his gaze: "It's hard work."

The woman listened to his polite and detached tone, lowered her eyes and smiled faintly and walked away, remembering something, and laughed hard, squeezing out the pear vortex on the side of her mouth.

Sure enough, she could see the tenderness in his eyes again, she looked at it for a while, and felt that it was enough, and if she coveted it any longer, the soup would be cold.

She walked over again, poured him the medicinal soup, obediently handed him the bowl, and watched his face finally slowly become a little ruddy after drinking it all with his head raised, her face was not obvious, but she sighed in her heart, every year after the Mid-Autumn Festival, the effect of this medicine was reduced again.

She took out a handkerchief and put it on his wrist, bent over to check his pulse, she was stunned for a moment, secretly raised her eyes to look at the wall, saw the marks on the ground, after all, her heart still couldn't help overflowing a little sour, choked in her throat, she closed her eyes, tried to stop it, and didn't let the eye frame flush a little red, even if it wasn't at all.

For, as he had said in his recollection of the past in her presence, that the woman was always smiling when she saw him.

She took the pulse, walked to the table, wrote about his situation, and unconsciously wrote a word of advice——.ν

.

I hope that the prince will not go to the basement, because it is special, and the air flow inside will only aggravate your condition, and there will be no harm in it......

Writing this, she smiled bitterly, dipped it in ink again, and gave it to him after scribbling out the sentence, and without waiting for him to respond, she walked out of the study in arrears.

She kept walking along the cloister, walking faster and faster, until she walked out of his courtyard, she could not bear it, hurried to a rockery and squatted there, covered her mouth tightly, and cried silently.

At this time, there were people in twos and threes chatting together.

"Since that day, the prince's already small joy has become less and less, and the already deserted palace has become even colder, and it is not yet winter, so you have to add clothes."

"Yes, I heard that the prince and the young lady suddenly had a dispute for some reason, and then the young lady insisted on going to Shengjing, and the prince was so angry with her that he lost his temper with her for the first time, and slammed the inkstone he was used to on the door, saying that if she stepped out of the palace half a step, she would no longer be his daughter."

When the subordinate who was sweeping the floor with a broom on the side heard this, he slacked off and joined the gossip army: "What happened later?"

"Later, the young lady walked to the door of the prince's house early in the morning of the second day, knelt on the ground and knocked three times before leaving, the prince opened the door after she left, rode to the city gate and watched the young lady step out of the city from the city, it is said that the prince stood on the city gate for a long time that day, and finally was persuaded by Vice General Chu to return to the house, that night, the prince ordered us to send him a jar after a jar of wine."

"Yes, I also had a share of delivering wine that day, and I heard my father say that it was the second time in the history of the prince that he drank so fiercely, and he fell directly drunk in the Wangqing Pavilion, and half of his body entered the pool without waking up."

When the man heard this, he didn't even take the broom, but leaned in and said, "Hearing you say this, should we, the prince, be ...... You like Miss, right?! This, this...... No, isn't the prince wiveless and concubineless? Where did this young lady come from?"

"What nonsense! This young lady is the adopted daughter of the prince, and the prince has someone in his heart, and my father once saw it, saying that it is a woman who is more beautiful than a fairy."

"Fairy? Isn't that the girl in white in the house? I think she looks like a fairy, but why doesn't the prince marry her?"

"That Yunying girl is the doctor in our house, although she helps to take care of the affairs of the house, and the prince often stays with her, and lets her go in and out of the study, in our eyes she is no different from the princess, but she is not, not even a side concubine. Let me remind you, the word princess is a taboo in our house, I heard that once, there was a newcomer like you, in front of the prince, called her a princess, but she was rewarded and thrown out of the city gate to hang!"

The man who was talking looked left and right, beckoned, and several people got closer, and he whispered: "According to my father, the first time the prince got drunk was because after he came back triumphantly, he was full of joy to go to the emperor to marry, but he learned that his sweetheart had died, and the prince couldn't think about it for a while, and wanted to follow, but was rescued by this Yunying girl, and she used this grace, plus her face looked like the one, which made the prince nod and allow her to stay by his side, but ah, the prince also said that she should not have delusions on the side."

"Ahem——!

At this moment, suddenly a woman dressed in goose yellow appeared in front of them, crossed her waist: "What are you doing here, you don't go to work! Believe it or not, I'll tell the girl to go!"

When they heard this, they all smiled shyly, hunched their waists, begged for mercy repeatedly, and the next moment they dispersed.

"Humph! It really is!" When the woman turned around, she saw a patch of white behind the rockery.

She walked over, and sure enough, she saw her own young lady, and when she remembered what day it was, she knew that she must have just come out of the prince's place, and couldn't help but shout worriedly, "Miss......"

Yunying hurriedly wiped away the tears, stood up, and said with a light smile, "Ziling, I was about to look for you, come with me to grind the medicine." She walked straight forward, and when she returned to her medicine garden, she kept repeating the action of picking and grinding medicines.

Ziling saw it in her eyes, full of distress, she suddenly threw the medicinal herbs she had just picked out in her hand back into the basket, walked over, and stopped Yunying's hand: "Miss, don't take those nonsense words to heart."

Yun Ying's body froze for a moment, and then said slowly, "They are not talking nonsense, it is true that I was cheeky and coerced to stay in this palace."

"The young lady stayed just to treat the prince! If it weren't for Miss, how would he have survived until now?!"

"But I did think that as long as I could stay by his side, he would always be able to see me after a long time, but I didn't expect that after listening to him occasionally tell me stories about the two of them, I became more and more envious, and I wanted to be a woman like her, and I longed for the tenderness he treated her."

She lowered her eyes and continued to murmur, "I began to wear the clothes she liked, to like everything she liked, to secretly imitate her handwriting, to imitate her expression, and finally to make him lose his mind when he saw me. In that moment, I saw the affection I wanted. When I noticed that every time he heard my voice, no matter how far away I was, he would immediately come back to his senses......

She laughed and laughed at herself: "In order to have the tenderness in his eyes for a few more moments, I simply became dumb in front of him, all of which they saw in their eyes, Ziling, no wonder they said that it was my own choice."

"Miss, after all these years, it should be enough." Ziling bit her lip, took her hand, and said as she walked into the room, "Let's go back, when you go back to the valley, you won't steal tears anymore, and you can turn back to the same you used to be."

Yun Ying stopped and froze in place, her eyes empty and she asked, "Ziling, do you remember my original name?"

Her sudden question, Ziling didn't think about it for a while, and was stunned.

"Don't talk about you, even I don't remember myself, from the moment the prince gave me my name, I have no past, I am just her shadow, the Yunying girl of this Ning Wangfu." She looked at her steadily, "Ziling, I've already sunk here, and I can't go back."

After listening to this, Ziling took her hand and let it go slowly, little by little.

She approached Yun Ying, pretending that nothing had happened, and secretly swallowed a few times, feeling that she would not show the slightest crying, and forced herself to slightly hook the corners of her mouth: "Miss, let's grind the medicine."

"Okay."

Yun Ying's lost soul came back to life, laughing out of the pear vortex, she paused, and said solemnly: "Ziling, we have to speed up, the medicine that Miss Ling wants can't be broken, otherwise, her previous efforts will be wasted."
