In the evening, Lord Huanyu came to the underground secret room of the palace garden to deliver food to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun's sword eyebrows frowned slightly at this time, and he leaned on the brocade couch a little tiredly, staring intently at a crystal clear jade pendant in his hand.

Although this private room is not very large, the interior is elegantly decorated and exquisitely furnished, and the eyes are full of warmth and peace.

There were a few red candles lit on the table, and the dim light flickered and dimmed, like a misty and mysterious veil of light and weakly spread on his body, and his face was much softer and deeper than before.

He wore a light blue round-necked robe today, with a handsome side face, with a bit of gloom and paleness that had not yet recovered from a serious illness.

Looking at it coldly, he has the warmth and transparency of his father He Yuting; followed her mother, Princess Evergreen, reserved and alienated, with a little cold temperament, and even a little solid, strong and cold.

After a few days of recuperation, his body and spirit have improved greatly. At this time, he only stared at the jade pendant in his hand, and there was a moment of emptiness in his eyes.

The front of the jade pendant is engraved with the words "knowing oneself and knowing one's heart", and on the back is two lines of small letters: "If the two love for a long time, how can it be in the morning and twilight" - it is the jade pendant that Lian Nanchun gave him at the beginning.

The flickering candlelight flickered in a trance, blurring the atmosphere in the room ambiguous and hazy; A faint thought floated around, and that delicate and familiar face loomed in front of his eyes.

There was a tragic battle on the execution ground that day, and he and Lian Nanchun were separated.

In the days when she was recuperating in the Jinling Palace, she was worried about her whereabouts all the time. The white dove had been released for many days, and there was still no news, and he couldn't help but get agitated.

He knew that it was relatively safe for him to hide here, but he couldn't get in touch with the outside world, let alone avenge Lord Lu Xue and reveal the truth of the prince's case to the world.

If he continues to be shackled in isolation like this, sooner or later he will go crazy! So a thought grew in my heart unconsciously......

He just frowned and concentrated on his thoughts, until Lord Huanyu walked in, and suddenly came back from his sleepwalking thoughts, and glanced at her with some astonishment, and there was a moment of confusion on his face.

Huanyu glanced at the jade pendant in his hand, and his heart tingled, and he couldn't help but think of the past. She snorted coldly, put the lunch box on the table, and turned to leave.

Ling Yun felt bitter in his heart, silently staring at her figure with a bit of anger and not looking back, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Huanyu walked to the door, suddenly remembered something, hesitated for a moment, and turned back again.

Lingyun said, "Do you have something?" ”

The corners of Huanyu's mouth rippled with a shallow arc, and she opened her mouth without being salty or light, "What, can't you come back if you're fine?" ”

The candlelight flickered and slowly dimmed; It is in strong contrast to the impatience of the lord of Huanyu with a bit of resentment.

Ling Yun was stunned for a moment, so he had to be silent.

Huanyu subconsciously stretched out her soft jade hand, gently brushed her sideburns a little messy, and gently bit her lip and said, "There is one thing I want to ...... I should tell you. ”

"What's the matter?"

Huanyu said: "Today our mother ...... Here it comes. ”

Ling Yun's eyelids suddenly twitched, "Our mother? ……”

Huanyu said: "Aunt Changqing." ”

Ling Yun's face immediately turned pale. He lowered his eyes, hiding the throbbing of his heart, and was speechless for a long time.

"What's wrong with you? ......" Huanyu's eyes froze, and he froze on his face without blinking, as if he was afraid of missing any slight change in his expression.

Ling Yun tried to ignore the emotions in his heart, and also ignored Huanyu's burning gaze, and said Mu Ran: "Does this matter have anything to do with me?" ”

Huanyu was stunned for a moment, and then shouted excitedly, "Zhichao, how can you talk like this, she is your biological mother!" ”

Ling Yun rolled his throat twice, and said coldly: "She is not my mother!" Have you ever seen a mother who duplicitously sent her son to the end of his head? Ever since the moment she colluded with He Yuting in the Hou Ye Mansion and betrayed me to Li Ruiyun, I have no relationship with the people in the Hou Ye Mansion! ”

Huanyu said earnestly: "Zhichao, in fact, you really misunderstood her. She has always been sincere to you, and it was really He Yuting who deceived and used her.

"You know, she was in great pain afterwards, and she was depressed all day long, and washed her face with tears; She misses you every day, misses you, and even says your name in her dreams......"

When she said this, her black eyes that shone like streamers looked at him without blinking, with great anticipation, as if she were looking at his heart.

The candlelight on the desk was still flickering in a trance. The fluttering lights set off the surrounding atmosphere in a blurry and overwhelming way.

Ling Yun felt an indescribable bitterness welling up in his heart, and he gently rubbed his slightly swollen temples with his hand, and hung his head weakly.

In fact, at that moment, he really wanted to say to Lord Huanyu:

You don't have to say anything, I know what you're saying. Actually, I've figured out what the hell is going on, and I'm no longer resentful of them, but I can't tell them clearly.

The reason why I decided to make a difference with my father and mother was only because I didn't want to affect them, but because I had my own last resort, and I had plans to go further......

But such a plan—a decision, to be precise, I have no way to explain it to you; So now I can only make up my mind to say these insincere and heartless words to you.

I'm sorry, Lord Shire; I'm sorry, Mother; When I did this, I was forced to helpless; Now I don't expect your understanding, I just hope that in the future you will understand my painstaking ......

Right and wrong moments, sad and joyful moments. At that moment, Ling Yun's thoughts were full of thoughts, and he finally made up his mind.

"County Lord, don't talk about it. If nothing else, please take care of yourself, I'm tired. When he said this, he lowered his head slightly, and the lines on his face were as stiff as a knife, and there was no trace of emotional fluctuations.

"Zhichao, why are you so stubborn? ……”

Looking at Ling Yun's almost numb expression, Huanyu was a little stunned and a little confused, and then asked loudly, roaring hoarsely why?

"Do you know evergreen, our mother's eagerness to miss her son? Do you know how painful and helpless she was when she came to the palace this morning? Do you know what she said to me at the time?

She said that she cares about you all the time, as long as you can forgive her, it is to let her die, and she is also willing - Zhichao, I beg you, let her see you! Not for anything else, just to fulfill the heart of a poor mother, okay? ”

Looking at Huanyu's eager eyes full of hope, Ling Yun looked away with some difficulty, barely hiding the complicated emotions in his heart, first nodded helplessly, and then shook his head resolutely and decisively.

Huanyu only felt her fingertips tremble, as if someone had sprinkled a handful of hot steel balls in her heart, and the cold and hard pain instantly rolled over her heart.

She stared into his eyes for a long time, then sighed helplessly, and walked out the door without looking back.

Ling Yun watched her figure go away, as if a boulder had been pressed in his heart, and he was a little breathless.

He tilted his head slightly, trying to calm the turbulent struggle in his heart, and said in a deep voice, "Wait a minute. ”

Huanyu said: "What else do you want to say?" ”

Ling Yun restrained the urge to tell the truth with the hustle and bustle of his whole body, and muttered, "I...... There's one more thing I'd like to ask you to help with. ”

Huanyu's heart was cold. The moment he stopped her, she had hoped that he would change his mind, but she was disappointed.

At that moment, she only felt weak, and she had no strength at all; She glanced at him lazily, "What's the matter?" ”

Ling Yun's expression was grim at this time, his sword eyebrows were frowning tightly, looking extremely solemn and deep, "I have a very important matter that I want to ask the prince for help - county lord, can you take me to meet him?" ”

Huan Yufang's heart trembled unconsciously, and she looked at him with burning eyes and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"This matter can only be said to me in person after meeting the prince, so ......" Speaking of this, Ling Yun paused, only raised his eyes to look at her, and his clear eyes were full of expectation and persistence.

At that moment, the eyes of the two collided. All the noise and confusion were gone, only each other's hearts were pounding in their chests.

Huanyu came to her senses and said softly: "I understand, I'll go to see my father and explain this matter to him." ”

As he spoke, he turned away without looking back, leaving him with a cold and lonely back......

The night dissolves, and the moonlight is hazy; The galaxy on the horizon is dotted with brilliant silver light. The breeze rustled through the treetops, bringing coolness to the silent night.

Zhao Fu, the prince of Jinling, was sitting quietly in the study, when he suddenly saw Huanyu coming to him in a hurry, and told him: Lingyun has something important to report to him in person, and he couldn't help but feel shocked.

Without saying a word, he stood up and said categorically: "Okay." Huanyu, you take me to see him right away! ”

Huanyu blinked her smart eyes, and her pupils turned into soft and shallow eyes, "Daddy, he is a junior, do you still need to work your boss to go to him in person, just let him come over to see you!" ”

The prince of Jinling said: "Huanyu, why did you forget again, now that he has a special identity, how can he come out casually?" What if the news leaks out, or is used by people with bad intentions? To be on the safe side, I'd better go to him. ”

Huanyu Bingxue is smart, how can she not know this? She just had some cunning thoughts of her little daughter and said it intentionally.

Now that I heard the prince of Jinling say this, I just happened to take advantage of the wind to rudder and follow my father's words and said: "Okay then." ”……
