A blessing in disguise
Mei Ji took off the strips of cloth on Pinyue's hands one by one, and her fingers, which were originally white and white, were blistered and swollen with water, without a trace of blood, and there were faint silk strangulation marks faintly visible.
After another quarter of an hour, Pinyue's fingers gradually returned to their original state, but it seemed that the tossing of Mei Ji had really made her fingers thinner, at least the ring had begun to loosen.
"That's fine, I'll go get the sesame oil. Mei Ji ran out happily, and when she came back, she had a small bowl in her hand, which contained a little reddish sesame oil.
Mei Ji dipped her finger in some oil and applied it to Pinyue's finger, and didn't stop until it was all evenly applied.
"Try again now!" she said to herself, her index and thumb fingers pinching the ring and shaking it carefully back and forth.
Maybe it was the oil that had been applied to Pinyue's hand that had taken effect, and the ring had been lost by a third.
Both of them were very happy to pull down harder, but the slightly bulging muscles of the joint table became the biggest obstacle.
Mei Ji smeared some oil on it again, and Pin Yue also helped pull it down, only to see her holding the ring with her left hand, shaking it hard from the left and right, and gradually fading the ring from the joint.
After that joint, it was completely removed, and Mei Ji pinched the ring on her fingertips and played with it.
"It's not unusual, Yu Wenmiao is really stingy, you are not allowed to take it off when you give such a gift, it's really!"
Pin Yue didn't speak, just took the ring from her hand, and without saying a word, she walked to the window and threw it out, her eyes falling to the artificial lake downstairs with a "grunt".
"Now it's finally worry-free, out of sight and out of mind!" she smiled lightly, turned around leisurely, and began to clean up the things on the table.
Mei Ji nodded approvingly, helping to put the things back in their place.
"Now that the problem has been solved, you have to get along well with the prince and don't be petty. It's not a good thing for people to hear that Princess Jing was left out in the cold on her wedding night!" Mei Ji enlightened her earnestly.
"Got it, I'll find time to explain it to him. Pin Yue smiled slightly, as if she agreed very much.
"Princess, Prince Yuwen asks to see you. There was a little girl's announcement from outside the door.
The two were stunned at the same time, and Pin Yue was slightly stunned before speaking:
"Got it, please sit in the hall for a while, I'll come!"
"What is he doing with you at this time?" Mei Ji wondered as she groomed her.
"Who knows, let's see!" Pin Yue was quite open, and went downstairs after tidying up a little.
In the hall, Yu Wenshu did not sit down, but stood in the hall, looking up and admiring the screen placed directly in front of the door.
"Yuwen Gongzi is so interested!" Pin Yue slowly walked down from the upstairs and came to him with a smile.
"Yuwen Shu has seen the princess. He clasped his hands together and raised them to his chest, bowing slightly.
"Everyone, friends, why be polite?" she smiled lightly and stretched out her hand to the chair to the side, "Please!"
"Princess, please!" he did the same.
The two sat down one after another, and a girl immediately served tea.
Pin Yue looked extremely calm, which made Yu Wenshu puzzled.
Looking at her appearance, she didn't care at all about Luo Jing's lack of return at night.
"I have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, and I came today just to retrieve the ring that my brother gave to the princess yesterday. He got straight to the point, and his gaze couldn't help but fall on her fair and delicate right hand.
Unable to see the ring, he couldn't help but froze.
Pin Yue was stunned after listening to his words, and her expression was slightly embarrassed:
"This ......"
"What's wrong?" her look made him nervous involuntarily.
"To tell you the truth, that ring was lost by me not long before Yuwen Gongzi came!"
"What?!!, where's the loss?" he was startled, and reflexively bounced up, looking anxious.
"Uh, in the lake in the back garden. Pin Yue couldn't help but stand up, how could she look at his attention to Cheng DΓΉ, and feel as if she had lost a priceless treasure?
Yu Wenshu didn't ramble anymore, but quickly went out and went straight to the back garden.
Pin Yue followed, and the two reached the lake on their front and back feet.
"Is this here?" he asked, looking back at Pin Yuexuan's small building, still estimating the angle of the parabola.
"It should be this way!" she was slightly ashamed, like a schoolboy who didn't dare to face the teacher after doing something wrong.
Yu Wenshu stopped talking, closed his eyes, and seemed to be breathing much lighter, as if he was listening to something.
Pin Yue didn't dare to disturb him, just quietly stood aside.
"Strange, how can you not sense it?"
After a while, Yuwen Shu opened his eyes and muttered to himself.
"What can't you sense?" Pin Yue walked to his side, only to see him shaking his head slightly, as if he didn't want to reveal it.
Pin Yue knew that it was inconvenient for her to ask more, so she had to choose to be silent.
Yu Wenshu observed for another moment, and looked back at her after finding nothing:
"The matter has come to this, and I have no choice but to leave. β
"Uh, I'm sorry!" she met his eyes slightly cramped, "but is the ring important?"
Yu Wenshu looked at her with a very complicated look, as if helpless, as if regretful, and seemed to have a feeling of compassion.
"Then I won't send it, Yuwen Gongzi go slowly!" was stared at by him, and Pinyue lowered his eyes and spoke.
β...... Farewell!" After another moment, he clenched his fists again and turned away in a dashing manner.
Pin Yue kept watching him disappear before coming back to his senses, but he was stunned by the lake and secretly hurt himself.
She didn't notice that around the corner of Pin Yuexuan, Luo Jing was staring at her in a daze......
