When Ling Yun was faced with a dilemma, he suddenly received Lian Nanchun's calligraphy, and he came to the Shili Pavilion outside the city as promised; The moment he saw her, he only felt a heat wave in his heart, and suddenly he felt like crying.

He stepped forward step by step and said in a deep voice: "Chun'er! ……”

Lian Nanchun turned his face and looked at him silently, two lines of tears slid down his eyes as translucent as cutting water, and he almost choked up: "Zhichao, our fate is over, you and I will break up." ”

Ling Yun's heart twitched painfully, and he said in a trembling voice, "What? ……”

Lian Nanchun sobbed and said: "I know everything that has happened in the past two days, and I am already very touched that you can do this for me." Looking at your tangled and painful appearance, I really feel heartbroken, I can't embarrass you anymore, everyone is separated, maybe it's a relief for each other! ……”

Ling Yun only felt as if his heart was being twisted violently by a sharp blade, and he could barely breathe in pain. It took him a long time to come to his senses and said resolutely: "No! What did we say at Hidden Hills? At that time, I promised you that I would love you wholeheartedly for the rest of my life, and never change my heart, and that I would never marry another woman in this life—don't you want all this? ……”

Lian Nanchun sighed: "This time and that time, now the situation is different, and we must change accordingly; I can't let you give up everything you have now just for the sake of me, and be an irresponsible, fatherless, unfaithful, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person......"

Ling Yun only felt that his throat seemed to be choked by something, and he was speechless for a while.

Lian Nanchun raised his face and held back the tears that were about to fall, "Actually, as long as we have each other in our hearts, those so-called worldly names and whatevers don't matter......"

Ling Yun's heart ached.

Lian Nanchun said again: "And you have to promise me that after you marry the county lord, you must treat her well, and you must assume the responsibilities of a husband to his wife." She has a deep affection for you, and although you don't love her, she loves you very much. In fact, she is not wrong, what she is wrong in this life is probably that she is in love with you......"

Ling Yun couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Lian Nanchun raised his head, looked at the crooked cold moon in the sky, and said in a deep voice: "From now on, we will only be ordinary friends. If there is anything, you can always come to me; If I have something, I will go to the capital to find you. ”

Ling Yun was sentimental, speechless for a long time, and said for a long time: "With a confidant like you, Ling Yun is dead, and he has no regrets in this life......

Lian Nanchun sighed softly and said abruptly: "There are many kinds of love in the world, one of which is desperate and selfish love, what you can't get, I'd rather ruin him than allow others to get it; There is another kind, that is, letting go and fulfilling, as long as you watch your beloved live well from afar, even if you can't be with him, you will be very satisfied and relieved - between the two, I choose the latter. ”

Ling Yun closed his eyes, tears rolling down his cheeks.

Lian Nanchun raised his face and looked at the sky, it was already the middle of the moon. She chuckled softly and said, "It's not too early, you should go back, I'll change it too." With that, she turned and walked straight on.

Ling Yun caught up and said, "Chun'er......"

Lian Nanchun's delicate body shook suddenly, and subconsciously stopped, "You...... Anything else to say? ”

Ling Yun bit his lip and said, "Can I hug you again?" ”

Lian Nanchun broke the defense in an instant, she turned around and staggered forward two steps; Ling Yun stretched out his arms, and the two hugged each other tightly, tears streaming down their faces......

In the sky, it is a cold starlight; On the ground, there are whimpering autumn insects.

At this time, there was already chaos in the Shangshu Mansion of the Criminal Department. Qiu'er couldn't help but panic when she saw Ling Yun leaving without saying anything, she didn't dare to go to Master Lu, so she had to run to Xu Zhi and explain the truth of the matter incoherently.

After Xu Zhi listened to Qiu'er's incoherent report, he immediately lost his confidence; He jumped out of bed at once, ran to the door barefoot, and told Tong Er to be loyal to summon Yang Zhen and Jiang Chun immediately.

Yang Zhen and Jiang Chun came sleepily. When he heard that Ling Yun suddenly ran away tonight, he couldn't help but complain one by one.

Yang Zhen complained about Qiu'er and said: "Qiu'er, you are really, Commander Ling wants to go out, why don't you stop it?" ”

Qiu'er was a little speechless for a while, and couldn't help but argue: "Captain Yang, you're not joking with me, are you?" What kind of person is Commander Ling, and what kind of skill he is, if he wants to get out, who can stop him? What's more, I'm a weak woman who can't be restrained......"

Yang Zhen was robbed of his name by Qiu'er, and he also felt that he was only impatient and a little unscrupulous, so he had to shut up in a sneer.

Jiang Chun was quite calm at this time, and when he saw this, he waved his hand and said, "Okay, don't say anything now, let's go separately and find someone!" ”……

Everyone searched for a night in a panic until it was almost dawn, and they didn't see the slightest shadow of Ling Yun.

At this time, Lord Lu also got up, and when he heard that Ling Yun had left the house suddenly and did not return overnight, he was so angry that he sat down on the chair and couldn't speak for a long time. It took a long time to come to his senses, and he ordered everyone in a bit of a hurry: "Why are you still stunned, keep looking!" ……”

At this time, a guard suddenly hurried in and said happily: "Lord Qiqi, Commander Ling is back!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in unison, and the heart that had been hanging was finally put back into their stomachs, and they all felt relieved that a stone had finally landed.

Lu Wenzheng was furious at this time. With a gloomy face, he commanded angrily, "Let him in!" ……”

Ling Yun walked in from the outside in a dejected state.

His face was pale, his eyes glazed, his clothes and the tips of his hair were wet, probably after spending the night outside, and the spring dew was so wet that he was wet from top to bottom.

He had indeed spent the night in the dew-drenched wilderness.

At that time, after he broke up with Lian Nanchun, he didn't go back immediately, but randomly found a piece of bluestone next to the grass and sat down, just sat motionless, didn't even change his posture, and sat in a daze until dawn.

No one knew what he was thinking at this time, and no one could understand what kind of mood he was in at this time.

It wasn't until it was dawn that he stood up blankly and walked back step by step.

At this time, when everyone saw Ling Yun's embarrassed description, the original resentment against him had disappeared a little.

Lu Wenzheng's face was pale, full of anger, and he said sharply: "Kneel!" ”

Ling Yun knelt down as he spoke, lowered his eyelids, and said nothing.

Lu Wenzheng said: "Where did you go last night?" ”

Ling Yun didn't speak.

"Do you know that everyone worked all night to find you last night?"

“……”

"Ling Yun, you've been making a lot of trouble in the past two days! Tell me, what the hell is wrong with you, how did you end up like this? ”

Or silence.

Seeing Ling Yun's dejected and half-dead appearance, Lu Wenzheng, who had always been calm and calm, almost burst into a rage: "This mansion has asked for a long time, why don't you answer?" Speak! ”

Xu Zhi, Yang Zhen and others were so anxious that they rubbed their hands and stomped their feet; Yang Zhen hurriedly walked to Ling Yun's side and whispered, "Brother Ling, what's wrong with you?" Adults are asking you, are you stupid, you are talking! ”

Ling Yun slowly raised his head, looked at Lu Wenzheng with a fixed gaze, and finally spoke: "My lord, I have already thought about it, I ...... Promised. ”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, as if they didn't understand what Ling Yun said. Yang Zhen couldn't help but ask again: "Brother Ling, are you ...... What did you say? ”

Ling Yun squeezed out his teeth almost word by word, and said Mu Ran: "The matter of the emperor's marriage, Ling Yun obeys his fate!" ……”

Everyone understood what he meant, and when they came to their senses, they all jumped up for joy, and chattered:

"Really! …… Commander Ling, you've finally figured it out! Oh, that's not easy! ”

"I'll just say, Commander Ling is just confused for a while! How could a person who understands righteousness so well not agree to this! ”

Everyone talked for a long time, and suddenly saw that Lord Lu was still silent with a straight face, so he hurriedly stopped, gave each other a look, and carefully focused their searching eyes on Lord Lu.

Lu Wen's front sank like water, and he snorted in his nose: "It's a good thing to figure it out." However, you told the government what happened last night, and how could you suddenly agree to it? ”

Ling Yun's face turned pale and said weakly: "My lord, I ......" He suddenly shook his body and fell down.

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly supported him and said, "Commander Ling, Commander Ling, what's wrong with you?" ……”

Lu Wenzheng was also a little flustered, and hurriedly ordered: "Go find the doctor!" ”

The doctor came to Lingyun, and after checking Ling Yun's pulse, he told everyone that Ling Ling's body was fine, which was caused by excessive fatigue and excessive mood tension in the past two days.

Yes, from the morning before yesterday to now, it has been two days and two nights, and Ling Yun has not closed his eyes, so he has been suffering in pain, and his body has been seriously overdrawn; And basically, the tea and rice are not eaten, and the water does not stick; The most important thing is that he was too stimulated in his heart, and he was depressed but couldn't find someone to talk to, only by himself, he finally couldn't bear it, and he would faint all of a sudden.

The doctor prescribed Ling Yun a few prescriptions for warming and tonifying his body, and Lu Wenzheng hurriedly arranged for someone to take the medicine according to the prescription; He also instructed Yumo, Yuzhu and others who served Lingyun to serve Lingyun on time to take medicine, and they must take good care of them and not make mistakes.

The two little guys agreed in unison.

Then, Lu Wenzheng arranged for someone to send Ling Yun back to Baiyun Xuan to recuperate.

After sending away a cadre of people and others, Lu Wenzheng sat silently behind the bookcase and pondered for a while, but he was still not at ease, so he brought Liu Yong and Wang Quan, two guards, and solemnly instructed them: They must be strictly guarded outside Baiyunxuan for the past few days, and if they find anything abnormal, they will report immediately.

Both of them are people with clear hearts, and when they heard this, they responded with understanding and went out.

Let's go back to Bai Yunxuan's side. Mrs. Ruan's body and mood had improved a lot at this time, and she had just heard Qiu'er's report that Ling Yun had agreed to the emperor's marriage, and she couldn't help but let out a long breath, and a stone in her heart finally fell to the ground.

Before she could be happy, she saw Ling Yun suddenly faint, and her heart couldn't help but rise again.

She sent everyone out, and sat alone in front of Lingyun's bed silently, looking at her son's almost bloodless, sleepy face, the slightly frowning brows, and the tightly closed eyes, her tears fell unconsciously, and murmured: "Zhichao, why do you say you are doing this?" ……
