Chapter 12 On the shore of Yanliu Lake

Qi Yungu swam towards Lin Yueying with all his might, stretched out his left hand and grabbed Lin Yueying's waist, and swam out of the water with her.

Lin Yueying, who had been choked on several mouthfuls of water, coughed badly as soon as she came out of the water, and it took a while to calm down, and she was about to thank her, but she was kissed by Qi Yungu, who was still holding her, on the back of her head.

Lin Yueying, who had just calmed down, panicked again, and hurriedly pushed Qi Yungu away, but no matter how much she pushed and shoved, it was useless, and in a panic, she directly opened her mouth and bit Qi Yungu's lower lip.

There was a pain in his lips, accompanied by a fishy smell and a sweet smell, even though the hot liquid snaked down the corners of his mouth, Qi Yungu was unwilling to let go of the person in his arms.

Are you leaving because of me? You hate me so much.

Lin Yueying had a fishy salty taste in her mouth, she looked at Qi Yungu, her eyebrows were furrowed, her eyes under her eyebrows were closed, were tears or lake water snaking down his face?

In the middle of winter, it's okay to fall into the water, and being forcibly kissed by a strange man, or in this cold lake, who can stand it?

Lin Yueying didn't let go when she saw that the person who forcibly kissed her was bitten by herself, so she had no choice but to let Feiyan help.

Lin Yueying thought about it, and her right hand clenched her fist and raised it high, and then stretched out her little thumb......

When Feiyan first came, Lin Yueying and Feiyan agreed on a code between the two of them.

In the same fist, a single index finger is a stalker, and together with the middle finger is murder, and now a single little finger is a cry for help.

Feiyan in the dark was also anxious when she saw Lin Yueying falling into the water, but without Lin Yueying's order, she couldn't act rashly, and she could only wait for the order quietly. When Feiyan saw Lin Yueying's distress signal, she immediately came out of the shadows, stepped on the willow branch wrapped in silver frost, and took off the long whip hanging on her waist that was blood-red and connected with gold plates.

The gold flakes on the long whip are like sharp knives, and when the long whip shakes, it is like countless shaking bells, endlessly.

In order not to let the gold piece hurt Lin Yueying's delicate wrist, Feiyan let all the gold pieces of the long whip stick to the long whip before throwing it out, and wrapped Lin Yueying's raised hand tightly.

Lin Yueying felt that something was wrapped around her wrist, so she immediately let go of Qi Yungu's lower lip, which was bitten by herself, and asked Feiyan to pull her up.

It was cold enough in the water, but now it is even colder when it is blown by this cold wind.

Qi Yungu watched her fly up quickly in front of him, and hurriedly hugged her hard, but after all, Qi Yungu had been soaking in the cold water for a long time, and his movements couldn't help but be a little stiff, he still took a step slower, and watched her fly away, not even grabbing a corner of her clothes.

Qi Yungu watched Lin Yueying being lifted high, and after being caught by the flying swallow on the willow branch smoothly, he left quickly with Lin Yueying.

It was not easy to see it, how could Qi Yungu let her leave like this?

"Smoked!"

As soon as Qi Yungu shouted, a black figure came out of the shadows, stepped on the sparkling lake and came to Qi Yungu's side, and as soon as he was helped up, he came to the lake.

As soon as Xun put down Qi Yungu, Qi Yungu chased after Lin Yueying and them. Xun didn't dare to delay, and followed Qi Yungu to chase after him.

Now Lin Yueying is soaking wet, if she doesn't warm up her body immediately, I'm afraid it will be dangerous.

Feiyan rushed to the Lin Mansion without delay, but found that there was a small tail behind her.

"Master, the man is following."

Lin Yueying was so cold that she didn't want to look at it, she just wanted to go home and take a hot bath, so she said weakly: "Go home." ”

Feiyan thought the same thing, but the people behind her continued to move forward, and came to the ground early before a fork in the road......

Qi Yungu, who was in front of the fork in the road, looked at the three roads in front of him and didn't know which one to choose. But now he has no time to choose, and he can only rely on luck to choose a random one.

Qi Yungu asked Xun to take the left one, and he took the middle one.

Chu Lin, who came to Yanliu Lake on time, looked around on the promenade, looking for Lin Yueying, who had left.

Is this girl lost, or is she going to play hide and seek with herself?

Feiyan and Lin Yueying, who suddenly appeared in the front yard of the Lin Mansion, startled Luo Sha, but Lin Yueying was already frozen and was about to faint, so Feiyan and Luo Sha could only say: "The master has fallen into the water, quickly prepare hot water and let the master warm up." ”

As soon as Feiyan finished speaking, she didn't have time to explain to Luo Shaduo, so she took Lin Yueying and went to Wangshu Pavilion.

Luo Sha was very distressed when she saw Lin Yueying's frozen pale little face, but there was no time for her to feel distressed now, so Luo Sha turned around and went to find Bell and Lin Liang to boil water for Lin Yueying to bathe.

In Wangshu Pavilion, Lin Yueying, who had stripped off her clothes, sat in a basin full of hot water, letting the heat in the water fly up from her trembling chin unscrupulously.

Luo Sha covered Lin Yueying's head with a towel, filled it with a water spoon, and carefully poured it on the top of Lin Yueying's head, the warm water flowing over her delicate cheeks and down her sultry neck. The bell was also poured on Lin Yueying's body with another water spoon, and she had to pay attention to the water temperature at all times, for fear that the water in the basin would be cold.

In the kitchen of the Lin Mansion, Lin Liang skillfully cut the ginger shreds, put the cut ginger shreds into the pot, then added two spoonfuls of sugar, stirred well with a soup spoon, and when the sugar melted and the water boiled, the ginger soup was ready. Lin Liang didn't dare to delay, filled a large bowl of ginger soup, and hurried to Wangshu Pavilion.

In the inner room on the second floor of Wangshu Pavilion, Lin Yueying was wrapped in a thick quilt, sitting on the edge of the bed, roasting the brazier placed next to the bed, and drinking the ginger soup that Lin Liang had just sent.

A bowl of hot and spicy ginger soup made Lin Yueying's already warm body even warmer.

Luo Sha took the empty bowl in Lin Yueying's hand and asked with concern, "Miss, are you better?" ”

"My body is warm, but my head hurts a little."

Lin Yueying held her forehead and said.

Luo Sha put down the empty bowl, came behind Lin Yueying, helped Lin Yueying gently rub her temples, and said, "It's not surprising, in this winter, Miss came back wet, she must have caught a cold." ”

The bell put the small stove that had just been installed in Lin Yueying's hand, and asked eagerly, "Miss, this is so good, why are you soaking wet?" Or did Feiyan send you back? Didn't Gongzi Lin also go to Yanliu Lake? ”

That's right, the reason why I went to Yanliu Lake again was because I made an appointment with Chu Lin. But the people who should have met didn't see them, but they met people who didn't know whether they should have met or not.

"Oh no, I forgot about it."

Lin Yueying then remembered that Chu Lin should still be waiting for him at Yanliu Lake at this time.

"Bell, you go for a run, tell Lin, I won't go today, I'll go another day."

Although the bell was not worried about Lin Yueying, he couldn't keep Chu Lin waiting, so he could only talk to Chu Lin by himself.

Chu Lin, who was next to the Smoke Willow Lake, sat lazily on the promenade, playing with the silver frost on the willow branches with his slender fingers.

On a couch engraved with double dragons playing with pearls, Qi Yungu wrapped a brocade quilt embroidered with a five-clawed flying dragon, took a bowl of ginger soup handed over by Xun, and as soon as he handed it to his mouth, he touched the wound on his mouth, which made him frown, he originally wanted to drink it all, but now he can only drink it slowly.

Qi Yungu handed the empty bowl to Smoker and asked, "Did you find it?" ”

Smoke didn't answer, just shook his head.

Xun knew, and Qi Yungu also knew that the girl he met today was definitely not Yuan Yi that Qi Yungu was thinking about.

It was clear about Yuan Yi's weight in Qi Yungu's heart, but Yuan Yi had such a thing happen three days before the wedding, which not only left a mystery for the living people, but also left so much trauma for Qi Yungu.

He has been following Qi Yungu for many years, and Qi Yungu also knows his skills, and the people who can snatch people in his own hands and take them away silently are definitely not ordinary.

Qi Yungu touched the wound on his mouth, and said thoughtfully: "The girl who took people away seems to have seen her somewhere." ”

Qi Yungu had seen it, and Xun had naturally seen it, but he still couldn't remember who that person was after thinking about it.

Qi Yungu carefully recalled what happened today: "After she raised her hand, someone lifted her up......"

"It's with a soft gold whip."

Smoked tips said.

Qi Yungu seemed to remember something, and immediately sat up straight: "When that person waved the whip, the sound was like hundreds of bells ringing. ”

Xun frowned, and clenched the empty bowl that was still in his hand: "Soft gold bell whip, that is the usual weapon of the Fei clan!" ”

Yes, the Fei clan is under the orders of the Yuan family, and it is natural for the people of the Fei clan to protect the eldest lady of the Yuan family.

Outsiders don't know about the existence of the Fei family, but Qi Yungu, who has a lot to do with the Yuan Mansion, still knows about it.

Qi Yungu couldn't sit still, he had thought about countless reasons why Yuan Yi hanged herself, but he just didn't think that she was still alive. But why did Yuan Yi do this? Why did the Yuan family do this?

Qi Yungu couldn't sit still anymore: "Go, bring Yuan Cheng to this king, you can't delay for a moment!" ”

Even though he has a thousand doubts, but no matter what it is, the people of the Fei family are protecting a girl like Yuan Yi, and he has also seen it with his own eyes, no matter whether that girl is Yuan Yi or not, as long as Yuan Chengyi comes, no matter what he is hiding or what he knows, it will be clear when the time comes.

"Yes!"

Xun received the order, did not dare to delay, disappeared immediately, and rushed to find Yuan Cheng.

The bell trotted all the way to Yanliu Lake, and as soon as he arrived, he saw Chu Lin standing in the most conspicuous place in front of the corridor, and the bell slowed down and came to Chu Lin.

Lin Yueying, who had been waiting for Chu Lin for a long time, did not come, but came with a bell.

That girl can't get out of trouble, right?

Chu Lin thought about it, and also walked towards the bell, and just as the bell was about to speak, Chu Lin asked a little anxiously: "What about the moon?" ”

Bell bent down, pressed his hand to his knee and gasped, waved his hand again, and said, "My young lady doesn't know how to fall into the water, but she is still warming up at this time." ”

Falling into the water in this winter, what do you have to do?

Chu Lin didn't ask again, bypassed the bell and rushed back.

Luo Sha scooped out a bowl of white rice porridge from the casserole that was warm on the edge of the brazier, took the spoon prepared on the side and put it into the bowl, and handed it to Lin Yueying together: "Drink a bowl of porridge first to warm up your body." ”

First met Yuan Cheng in the dumb ling'an, and now he met such a person in Yanliu Lake, who is he? Is it just a prodigal, or is it the same as Yuan Cheng, who do you think of me?

Lin Yueying took the bowl of porridge, smiled and said to Luo Sha: "I have something to talk to Feiyan about, Aunt Luo Sha, you go down first." ”

Feiyan is beside Lin Yueying, everyone in the family knows, and Feiyan also knows what has happened in the imperial capital in the past ten years. Since her own lady broke up with herself, she must have encountered something again, and she had to carry it down by herself, Luo Sha didn't ask much, and went down after answering.

As soon as Luo Sha walked out of Wangshu Pavilion, Feiyan appeared in front of Lin Yueying.

"But the master wants to ask who is the person I met today?"

In the end, he was the one who had been in the Yuan family, he was smart and straightforward, and Lin Yueying didn't beat around the bush: "Who is he?" ”

Feiyan raised her eyes and glanced at Lin Yueying, bowed her head and said, "That's Qi Yungu, Prince Mu who has a relationship with Yuan Yiding." ”

Lin Yueying held the bowl of porridge in her hand tightly: "No wonder ......"

Lin Yueying didn't dare to think about it, and asked again: "Xingluo once mentioned to me that Yuan Cheng's sister Yuan Yi died violently three days before her wedding, and the relationship between your Fei family and the Yuan family is so close, do you know the reason?" ”

"At the beginning, the Yuan Mansion was preparing for the marriage of Prince Mu and Yuan Yi, and Yuan Yi's violent death was also an emergency, and no one knew why. Prince Mu and Yuan Fu have been looking for the reason, but they have not found anything over the years. Yuan Yi's death is still a mystery. ”

"Why did you die suddenly? It's obviously a mutual relationship. Could it be that there is some secret hidden inside? ”

Feiyan didn't know, and Lin Yueying didn't know.

Feiyan noticed that someone was approaching, and she was afraid that she would not be able to delve into Lin Yueying anymore, so she reminded Yueying: "Master, someone is coming." ”

The people Feiyan guarded against were naturally people who didn't know about her existence. Now that no one else knows about her existence, Lin Yueying can only let Feiyan go down first and deal with what she can handle.

Feiyan had only retreated for a while, and there was a muffled and heavy footstep on the stairs of Wangshu Pavilion, and after a while, the footsteps stopped in front of Lin Yueying's door.

Lin Yueying saw that the people outside the door didn't push open the door for a long time, and a smile appeared on her solemn face, if it was ten years ago, Chu Lin would have pushed the door in.

Chu Lin, who was standing in front of the door, just wanted to push the door in, but his slender fingers were just about to touch Lin Yueying's door before he remembered that now that they were not children of each other, where could they just push the door and go in? He could only bend his slender fingers inward and gently knocked on Lin Yueying's door.

This was the first time in eighteen years that Chu Lin knocked on his door so politely, and the smile on Lin Yueying's mouth became even more obvious, and she pretended to be panicked and said, "Wait a minute, I don't have any clothes on." ”

Sure enough, when Chu Lin outside the door heard what Lin Yueying said, his serious face immediately turned red, and he turned his stiff body and came to the table in the hall and sat down.

Lin Yueying gently got down from the bed and tiptoed to look at Chu Lin outside the door. And Chu Lin outside the door didn't know if it was because he was thirsty all the way back, or if it made Lin Yueying nervous, and he was gulping down the tea on the table that had already been cooled.

Lin Yueying, who was in the door, looked at Chu Lin who was pouring tea for herself outside the door, and snickered again, laughed for a while before gently opening the door, pretending to be weak and said, "Come in!" ”

Chu Lin heard the sound of the door opening, and hurriedly looked towards the door, and saw Lin Yueying talking to him, so he immediately stood up and came to Lin Yueying's side to help her: "It's good if you call me, don't stay." ”

Lin Yueying saw that Chu Lin had been fooled again, and she was overjoyed, but stealing joy was also a chore, Lin Yueying looked at the anxious Chu Lin and couldn't hold back anymore and laughed.

Chu Lin looked at Lin Yueying, who was holding him, and laughed so hard that he couldn't put it down, and he didn't discuss with her, just staring at her like that.

Lin Yueying saw that Chu Lin did not scold herself like last time in Yuyu Pavilion, but stared at herself so directly, Lin Yueying's heart was a little hairy, so she restrained her smile: "I'm sorry, you care about me so much, and I still make fun of you." ”

Lin Yueying's temperament, Chu Lin also knew it, so he didn't bother to be angry with her, so he helped her sit back on the couch, helped her cover the quilt, and sat down next to her.

As soon as Chu Lin sat down, he couldn't wait to ask, "I heard that you fell into the water, what's the matter?" ”

Lin Yueying didn't know what the bell said to Chu Lin, and she didn't know how much Chu Lin knew, so she asked tentatively, "Didn't the bell tell you?" ”

Chu Lin knew that Lin Yueying was going around the bend with him, he didn't know why, so he just said it.

"Bell came to me, but she just said you fell into the water, nothing else."

"Oh."

Lin Yueying responded, tilting her head to look elsewhere.

Chu Lin, who was in a hurry, saw Lin Yueying's flickering words, and hurriedly asked, "Why did you fall into the water?" You mean! ”

It's really hard to say, after all, I met such a person, and that kind of thing happened.

Seeing that Lin Yueying still didn't answer, Chu Lin became even more anxious, so he urged: "You are talking." ”

Lin Yueying knew that Chu Lin would not give up today without asking why, so she could only find a reason casually, and said lightly: "I originally wanted to pass early today, but I remembered that I had left something behind not long after I went out, so I turned back." As soon as I got downstairs, a strong wind blew me into the water. ”

Chu Lin didn't believe it: "The road from the attic to the gate of the courtyard is two feet away from the lake in the courtyard, how strong is the wind, can blow you into the water?" ”

No one would believe such a nonsense, Lin Yueying could only lift the quilt and say scoundrelly: "If you don't believe it, then let's go down now, and see if we can into the water when the wind blows!" ”

This winter, if you fall into the water, you are lucky to have no cold and fever, but if you go out again and use the body that has just warmed up to get cold, it will be worth the loss.

Chu Lin hurriedly put the quilt that Lin Yueying had lifted again, and said duplicitously: "I believe, I believe!" Fortunately, it's nothing now, if this one goes out and blows a good one, it will have to be tossed again. ”

"Good!"

Lin Yueying knew that she was grateful to Chu Lin, and Chu Lin would take care of what she did, so she thought that as long as it was not serious, she could do whatever she wanted.

Yuan Cheng carried a pot of wine and rode a fast horse to the front of Prince Mu's mansion. Xiao Si, who was waiting in front of the palace, saw that Yuan Cheng was coming, and hurriedly greeted him and took the reins in his hand, but Yuan Cheng went directly into the majestic Prince Mu's mansion as if he had entered his own house.

Prince Mu's Mansion, the emperor personally selected the land, the palace of Qin. The five-in-five-out mansion is lined with courtyards and surrounded by plants and trees, like a fairyland.

Yuan Cheng came to the Nanshan Hall where Qi Yungu lived, and in front of the door of the inner hall, he saluted politely: "Yuan Cheng is ordered to get up and meet Prince Mu." ”

Qi Yungu in the inner hall didn't bother to pretend with Yuan Cheng, and hurriedly let him in.

Yuan Cheng, who was outside the door, heard that Qi Yungu in the inner hall let him in, so he pushed the door in without any worries, put the wine in his hand on the table in the hall, and said, "This is the new wine from the store today, take a pot for you to taste." ”

Qi Yungu didn't care about any wine now, so he hurriedly asked Yuan Cheng to come over.

Yuan Cheng didn't think about it that much, after all, they had often drunk together in the past two years, so they came to Qi Yungu's couch slowly, but when he saw the injury on Qi Yungu's mouth, his curiosity came, he turned around and came to the desk again, picked up a stool and sat down in front of Qi Yungu's couch, and teased: "Why, is it because of this that you are in such a hurry to call me?" That's really an iron tree blooming, tell me quickly, which girl is it? ”

Qi Yungu pursed his lower lip slightly, but Qi Yungu didn't let Yuan Chenglai let him see his jokes, so he quickly sat up straight and asked seriously, "Have you ever given someone from the Fei family to someone else?" ”

Qi Yungu wasn't sure if Yuan Yi was blown up, but he couldn't ask Yuan Cheng directly, so he could only ask like this.

Lin Yueying's existence, now Yuan Cheng doesn't want to tell Qi Yungu yet, because he is not sure whether Qi Yungu will treat Lin Yueying as his sister or just as a passerby, after all, Yuan Cheng has selfish intentions towards Lin Yueying.

Yuan Cheng's gossipy appearance immediately froze, his gaze shifted, he didn't dare to look directly at Qi Yungu, and said duplicitously: "No, everyone in the Fei family is skilled, and I am reluctant to give it to others." ”

Qi Yungu didn't know why Yuan Cheng wanted to hide the existence of that girl, if that girl was just an outsider, if not, it would be a bully to resist the decree!

Since it was useless for Yuan Cheng to knock on the side, Qi Yungu could only tell what had just happened: "Just now I met a girl who is exactly the same as Yi'er in Yanliu Lake, and that girl was taken away by the people of the Fei family. ”

Yuan Cheng panicked, did he let Qi Yungu know?

Yuan Cheng couldn't sit still, and immediately jumped up: "Have you met Yueying?" ”

Yuan Cheng raised his chin and asked a little childishly: "The injury on your mouth won't be because you treat her as my sister, so you went up and kissed other girls, so she was bitten!" I can tell you, she's not a sister, and I met her first, she's mine! ”

Qi Yungu looked at Yuan Cheng, who was so nervous that he was about to point to his nose, and was a little disappointed: "It's really not her." ”

Yuan Yi weighed in Qi Yungu's heart, Yuan Cheng couldn't be clearer, because of Yuan Yi's sudden departure, who wasn't crazy to find the reason? But after two years of searching, I couldn't find anything, and I only let the living survive.

Yuan Cheng restrained the childish expression on his face, sat back on the stool, and comforted Qi Yungu and said, "When I first met Yueying, I also regarded her as a sister, but she wasn't. After all, they are two people, so their personalities and behaviors are completely different, and in a word, it is really 'quiet as a virgin, moving like a rabbit'. ”

"Yes, or you dare to ...... me"

Qi Yungu said, just touched the bitten lip and thought for a moment.

Yuan Cheng saw the smile on Qi Yungu's face, and was unhappy: "I don't care if you have any thoughts about Yueying, I met her first, you can't rob me." ”

The dignified eldest son of the Yuan family spoke like a child, Qi Yungu couldn't help but quip: "Do you know the details of other girls? Say something like that. Besides, do other girls think the same way as you? ”

This is really said Yuan Cheng's heart: "If I really get together with Yueying, it's really a little difficult." ”

It's just that it's with someone he likes, which is also difficult, and Qi Yungu is a little curious.

Yuan Cheng said: "If we are really together, either she is ungrateful, or we are betrayed and separated!" ”

What kind of person is Lin Yueying in Yuan Cheng's mouth, it is so serious. Qi Yungu couldn't help but ask curiously, "Whose girl can be so serious?" ”

Yuan admittedly looked at Qi Yungu: "She is the daughter of Lin Jinzhuo, who participated in a book of Liu Lingshi ten years ago, and Luo Jinmin's niece. ”

When Qi Yungu heard Yuan Cheng's words, he looked at Yuan Cheng in disbelief: "Then you are going to hit the south wall?" ”

On the one hand, they are looking at each other from afar, and they are safe and sound; On the one hand, there is ingratitude, and everyone betrays their relatives. Yuan Cheng also hesitated, after all, if the two were really together, one of them would definitely be injured.

As a person who has come over, Yuan Cheng's mind Qi Yungu is very clear, so he will not embarrass him, nor can he do anything for him, now he can only pat his back gently like a friend, but as soon as his hand was raised, Yuan Cheng was happy with himself: "It's okay, if the south wall separates me and Yueying, it's a big deal to turn over!" ”

When Qi Yungu heard Yuan Cheng say this, his hand that wanted to appease him froze in the air.

Qi Yungu looked at the smiling young man in front of him, and that fearless look stirred up waves in the dark pool in his heart.

Once upon a time, didn't you just rise to the challenge and overcome obstacles?

On the fourth day, Lin Yueying felt that she was fine, so she dragged Chu Lin out. But Chu Lin still wanted Lin Yueying to recuperate for a few days, but no matter what Chu Lin said, Lin Yueying didn't listen, and could only let her drag her forward, but today the two of them walked for most of the day and still found nothing.

Chu Lin looked at Lin Yueying, who was holding several bags of fruits beside him and was eating with relish, and was puzzled: This girl can't be cheating on me in the name of compensation, right?

Lin Yueying found that Chu Lin was looking at herself, and she didn't even look away from him, and only after a long time did she hesitate to hand the dried fruit that she had already bitten to Chu Lin's mouth, and said timidly: "A small bite!" ”

Chu Lin looked at the dried fruit that Lin Yueying handed to his mouth that he had already bitten, and was very embarrassed to see Yueying's timid appearance, so he stopped looking at her and walked away quickly.

Lin Yueying saw that Chu Lin ignored herself, so she hurriedly chased after her, holding up the dried fruit that she had bitten into, and shouted playfully: "Lin is going to be good, if you are good, I will give you a large piece of dried fruit, I haven't bitten it!" ”

Lin Yueying thought that Chu Lin would still stop and wait for him as before, but instead of waiting for himself, Chu Lin rushed forward.

Lin Yueying: Is this a joke?

Lin Yueying didn't want to think about it, so she also ran over, and when she ran around the corner, she saw a group of people beating a middle-aged man with fists.

Looking closely, the man was wearing a dark green gold-coated silver belt court dress, and Luo Jinyao sewed a court dress for Lin Jinzhuo with a needle and a thread......
