Xiang Lincheng had a cold face, walked back without saying a word, Jin Chan followed him cautiously, and it was not until she arrived at the gate of Xiang Lincheng's mansion that she gently called Xiang Lincheng's name.

"Lincheng." Jin Chan pulled Xiang Lincheng's sleeve.

Xiang Lincheng's face was still not good, loneliness and regret were intertwined, Jin Chan knew that he could no longer pretend to be indifferent, so he asked, "Lincheng, do you regret letting me live in the mansion?"

"Why are you with Yoshiba?" Xiang Lincheng ignored her question, but directly asked the doubts in his heart.

"Originally, I was just delivering medicine to the palace normally." Jin Chan innocently said, "There are a few kinds of medicinal materials that are in short supply, and the sixth prince doesn't want me to sell them to other customers, so he invited me to live in the palace, and he only concentrates on supplying medicine to the palace."

Xiang Lincheng asked, "What about Ji Yu?!"

Jin Chan shook her head and said, "I don't know, she also lives in the palace these days, and she won't say anything when I ask her......

Xiang Lincheng clenched his fists and strode towards the mansion.

He had heard about the confrontation between the Eastern Battalion and the True Fool Country, and when the True Fool Kingdom captured four people, he was not nervous when Xiang Lincheng knew that Ji Yu was among those four people.

It's just that Xiang Lincheng was far away in the northern Yanjiang promenade at that time, and no matter how anxious he was, he couldn't do anything! Fortunately, the prisoner camp of Zhenyu has been captured, and Guan Jiyu has been rescued safely.

This time, Xiang Lincheng returned to the capital, but because of the Yanjiang Corridor, he wanted to enter the palace to meet Emperor Shu, but he didn't want Guan Jiyu to be in the capital early.

Not only did she come to the capital, but she also knew about him taking in Jin Cicada......

Xiang Lincheng's heart was like being scratched by a cat's paw, Guan Jiyu's indifferent expression made him feel heartache, even if he had a thousand words to tell in his heart, after seeing Guan Jiyu's cold expression, he could only get stuck in his throat and couldn't say a word.

Xiang Lincheng was uneasy, sitting in the study and taking out a pen and paper, the things that Xiang Ju'an explained to him were the top priority, just dealing with Emperor Shu was not a simple matter, and he had a lot to do when he returned to Beijing this time.

It's just that as soon as he lifted the pen, Guan Jiyu's face involuntarily appeared in front of him.

The pen in his hand could no longer be smooth, Xiang Juan crumpled the paper into a ball in annoyance, Jin Cicada walked in with tea, saw him so troubled, and said, "Lincheng, why are you so upset?"

Xiang Lincheng leaned weakly on the back of his chair, and only said for a while: "Now that you live alone, it is inevitable that it will be inconvenient everywhere, I know that it is not easy for you, so you can choose the place to live in the capital, as long as you like it, I can buy it for you."

Jin Cicada put down the teapot and poured tea for Xiang Lincheng in silence.

Xiang Lincheng looked at her and confirmed, "Okay?"

Jin Cicada said abruptly, "You're in such a hurry to drive me away......

"It's not a rush!" Xiang Lincheng said in annoyance, "How could I drive you away? Cicada, you and I have known each other for many years, if it weren't for the special circumstances, how could I say such a thing?"

Xiang Lincheng sighed heavily and said, "Didn't we make it clear earlier? Cicada, the two of us are destined to be fruitless, and now I have made many promises to Yoshiba. I'm waiting for her, and when everything is going well, I'll give her the place she deserves......

"Status?" Jin Cicada's eyes were red, and she read these two words carefully, and said, "Am I not waiting for a name...... I have always thought that what hinders us is my family affair with the Liu family, and Liu Jian and I are a husband and wife in name only! People don't know you know!"

After Jin Cicada finished speaking, tears were already pouring down, her body trembled, and she vented her emotions to Xiang Lincheng sadly and desperately, "I finally waited until now, I made so many efforts to get rid of the Liu family, I thought we could start again......

Xiang Lincheng frowned tightly and fell into a deep silence.

Jin Cicada said sadly: "Lincheng, you speak! You say, am I really wrong? Is the relationship between us when we were young, the time we spent together at Moyun Academy, all fake?"

"It's not fake." Xiang Lincheng closed his eyes

, said softly: "Cicada, you and I met when we were young, and in those days in the academy, I admit that everything is true. But fate plays tricks on people, and now, there is no going back."

Jin Cicada sighed lightly and said, "Why can't you go back? Isn't it okay to stop the wrong thing in time? My father is gone, and my wrong marriage with Liu Jian has ended, and now I have nowhere to go, and I have no relatives to go to, so I only have you, Lincheng."

"Cicada, that's it, think about it again."

Xiang Lincheng got up, tidied up the mess on the table a little, and went out.

Jin Cicada looked at Xiang Lincheng's distant figure, and finally couldn't support it and sat on the ground.

"I've waited so long, I've been looking forward to it for so long......

Jin Cicada shook her shoulders, her tears were like beads with broken threads, she wiped the tears on her face with her sleeves, and said indignantly, "Guan Jiyu, why did you come to the capital? Why should you come...... All my efforts have been ruined by you, do you know?"

Guan Jiyu changed her clothes and was about to go to the secret room to cultivate, but Yuexin stopped her: "Girl, there is a person standing at the door, it seems that he has been standing for a long time, saying that he is here to find you."

"Looking for me?" Guan Jiyu was puzzled, "What are you looking for me? What kind of person is it?"

Yuexin said: "It's a young man, he was born very handsome, and his bearing is extraordinary, and several girls have heard about it and gone to the door to see it."

These girls are too boring to do things in the palace all day long, and it is rare to see a young man with outstanding appearance, and it is inevitable that their hearts will sprout.

Guan Jiyu had already guessed who Yuexin was talking about, and she said coldly, "You go and tell him, let him go back."

"But that boy has really been waiting for a long time." Yuexin couldn't bear to say, "Don't you really want to take a look?"

Guan Jiyu said: "Yuexin, now that I am doing things for the prince in the palace, every day I almost take up all my energy just by cultivating, anyway, I don't want to see any more irrelevant people, you go and tell him and let him leave."

Yuexin nodded, so she had to follow Guan Jiyu's meaning, and went out to persuade the people outside the mansion with a good voice, but the person who was waiting seemed to be as firm as iron, he just said, "I won't leave if she doesn't come out."

Guan Jiyu finished cultivating the content of the day, exhausted and walked out of the secret room, it was already dark outside, she stepped on the moonlight and walked back to the room, Yuexin had already prepared the hot water for bathing, Guan Jiyu was about to take off his coat, Yuexin reminded again: "Girl, that son has not left yet."

"Oh." Guan Jiyu picked up the comb and combed his hair, "Since he can't be persuaded, then he is willing to stand outside."

She walked into the bathtub casually, took a serious bath, and when Yuexin helped change her clothes, Guan Jiyu lay directly on the bed.

"It's late, I'm sleeping."

Yuexin was not good enough to persuade Guan Jiyu again, so he responded with a "hey", blew out the lamp and closed the door and retreated. qδ

In the dead of night, Guan Jiyu kept her eyes open, she knew that he was waiting for her outside, and she didn't have to go out to know what he would say.

Guan Jiyu suddenly thought of the time a long time ago, when she was in Beixin, she and Xiang Lincheng enjoyed the snow in the back mountain.

At that time, there was a faint indescribable color between his eyebrows.

Now Guan Jiyu finally understands that his shallow sorrow, those ties that are not enough for outsiders to explain, in the end, only turned into two words: golden cicada.

Guan Jiyu reached out and touched her heart, it was not as painful as she imagined.

She thought it would hurt.

Just as she thought, she must not be willing to let Xiang Lincheng stand outside alone.

Those once good times are gone, and the joy and excitement of the first acquaintance have long since passed away with her disappointment again and again.

Guan Jiyu thought for a moment and sat up from the bed suddenly. She casually put on a dress and went out, the night watchman dozed off, she looked out of the gate, Xiang Lincheng was still waiting outside the door.

He leaned against the wall listlessly, and when he saw Guan Jiyu walking out, there was a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Xiang Lincheng immediately straightened up,

Seeing that she was thinly dressed, she said, "Why don't you wear more clothes, it's cold outside."

Guan Jiyu looked at him lightly and said, "Why are you still standing here? Are you waiting for me?"

Xiang Lincheng nodded vigorously and said, "Ji Yu, I was waiting for you, I saw you today, I didn't expect it to be in such a situation...... I know I owe you an explanation, so I'm here, and I hope you can give me a chance to listen to me explain it to you......

"Explain what?" Guan Jiyu's expression was still as cold as ice, and her gaze at him was no longer as shy and cowardly as before, and she said directly: "Second Prince Xiang, let's make a long story short, and take this opportunity to make everything clear."

Xiang Lincheng couldn't help but be shocked when he saw her like this for the first time, and said, "Ji Yu......

Guan Jiyu suddenly smiled faintly and said, "Second Prince Xiang, do you know that I was very pleased with you in the past?"

Xiang Lincheng choked in his throat and said, "I know."

Guan Jiyu nodded and said, "I walked a long way from Nanqinjiang Mansion to Beixin." She paused and said, "At that time, I experienced the biggest blow in my life, and I went to the camp of the Beixin General's Mansion in a daze, and the first person to talk to me there was you."

Xiang Lincheng stepped forward, his broad palm tightly grasped Guan Jiyu's cold hand, and said, "I haven't forgotten either, I will never forget the scene when I first saw you."

"At that time, I was just a protégé of a family waiting to be tested, and I was still worried about whether I would pass the selection or not." Guan Jiyu thought of the bits and pieces of the past, and the tenderness in his eyes was infinite, "But you are different, among all the protégés of our family camp, almost no one does not know you, the three words Xiang Lincheng are the existence of light."

Guan Jiyu looked down at him holding his hand, and said, "I admire you, and I have to take care of you with all your heart, as well as the snowstorm in the back mountains." She said in frustration, "Second Master Xiang, after all, I used to admire you."

Xiang Lincheng grabbed her shoulder excitedly and said, "Ji Yu, I also admire you, your feelings will not be in vain, we will have a future!" I will go and tell my brother that he will officiate at your marriage."

Guan Jiyu shook his head lightly and said, "Xiang Lincheng, listen up, this is the last time I will tell you about this."

Her eyes returned to the same cold as when she first came, and she said, "But now, I don't have that kind of affection for you."

Xiang Lincheng froze in place, her words turned into sharp arrows.

Ten thousand arrows pierce the heart.

"Xiang Lincheng, this is not angry, I am real, and I have no intention of falling in love with you."
