The Lord's Mansion of Yong'an County.

"County Lord, I'm here from Anhou!"

Xia Qiu came from the front yard at a trot, and shouted loudly before he reached the study.

"Where?"

When Ling Yuyan heard the words, she didn't know what was wrong, she suddenly lost her usual reserve and steadyness, hurriedly ran out of the study, and asked anxiously.

"I just entered the mansion gate, and I'm coming this way."

Xia Qiu pointed in the direction of the front yard and said loudly.

Before she finished speaking, Ling Yuyan had already walked briskly to the front yard.

Xia Qiu was stunned for a moment, snickered, and quickly followed.

As soon as she arrived in the front yard, Ling Yuyan saw Li Wuji slowly walking towards her from a distance, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and showed a gentle smile.

But then she felt that she was a little out of shape, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to turn around and return to the backyard, but she knew that she had been seen by Li Wuji, and she was embarrassed to turn around and leave, and froze in place for a while, not knowing what to do.

All of this was seen by Xia Qiu behind him, and there was a hint of strangeness in his eyes.

"County Lord."

After a while, Li Wuji had already come closer and greeted Ling Yuyan with a smile.

"Childe."

Ling Yuyan's face was slightly red, and she bowed slightly to Li Wuji and greeted softly.

"Why are you blushing?"

"Sick?"

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan, whose face was slightly red, frowned, and asked puzzledly, and was about to reach out and touch Ling Yuyan's forehead as he spoke.

He thought that Ling Yuyan was infected with a cold and was having a fever.

"Nothing..."

"I heard that the empress was assassinated in Qinghu Mountain, how is it? Are you okay? ”

Seeing Li Wuji's movements, Ling Yuyan hurriedly retreated, then diverted the topic, looked Li Wuji up and down with concern and asked.

But her face was even more rosy than before.

"It's okay, a false alarm, isn't it okay for me?"

Li Wuji smiled, opened his arms to show it, and said slowly.

"It's okay."

"You're hurt?!"

Ling Yuyan was relieved, but then she saw the gauze wrapped around Li Wuji's left hand, stepped forward, and asked in surprise.

"It's just a small injury, and if you accidentally get it, it's not in the way."

Li Wuji raised his left hand, which had been rebandaged a long time ago, and said with a smile.

"Why are you so careless?! Can you not be so reckless in the future?! ”

Ling Yuyan looked at Li Wuji with a little reproach and said dissatisfiedly.

Hearing Ling Yuyan's concern, Li Wuji was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but show a satisfied smile, looking at Ling Yuyan affectionately.

Ling Yuyan, who knew that she had behaved too much, hesitated for a moment, and shyly avoided Li Wuji's gaze, a little at a loss.

"Are you concerned about me?"

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan, and while asking, he slowly approached, and he couldn't help but feel the urge to take Ling Yuyan into his arms.

"Nope!"

"Since you're injured, why don't you recuperate in the mansion, and what are you doing here?"

Ling Yuyan shook her head stubbornly and said pretending to be serious, but she didn't dare to look at Li Wuji's eyes.

"I missed you, so I came to see you."

Li Wuji looked at the shy Ling Yuyan directly, and said without thinking.

"You..."

"What nonsense are you talking about?!"

Ling Yuyan was shocked, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at Li Wuji dissatisfied, and said angrily, her face was completely red.

Li Wuji's outspokenness was something she didn't expect, but she said the same thing.

"No nonsense, every word!"

Li Wuji said with a serious face, he had already walked in front of Ling Yuyan, and reached out to grab Ling Yuyan's arm.

"Dengzi!"

Ling Yuyan was so frightened that she took a step back, and said coquettishly, her face full of panic.

"Hee-hee-hee..."

At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly came from behind the courtyard gate, and then Xia Qiu was seen with his head exposed, and he was silly there.

"Qiu'er! Who taught you the habit of lying on the wall?! It's so presumptuous! ”

"Why don't you hurry up and make tea for Childe!"

Ling Yuyan hurriedly turned around and looked at the courtyard gate, reproaching angrily.

"I'm going to make tea! Hou Ye continues! ”

Xia Qiu gloated and dropped a sentence, turned around and ran away, leaving Ling Yuyan with a red face.

"Xia Qiu, this girl is getting more and more sensible."

As he spoke, Li Wuji took Ling Yuyan's hand and said with satisfaction.

Originally, he wanted to take Ling Yuyan directly into his arms, but in the end, he restrained himself and just held hands.

After all, women in ancient times were shy, and their manners were too much to frighten Ling Yuyan.

"Please move to the backyard."

Ling Yuyan shyly broke free of Li Wuji's hand, and walked quickly towards the backyard with her neck bent.

Li Wuji smiled and slowly followed, and a warm current involuntarily rose in his heart.

in the backyard gazebo.

Li Wuji and Ling Yuyan sat opposite each other, with a cup of tea that had just been brewed in Xia Qiu in front of them, and it was still slowly bubbling with a wisp of heat.

After making tea, Xia Qiu left the backyard under the pretext that he had something to do.

Lu Yuan is also very acquainted, he didn't follow up in the backyard from the beginning, and he didn't know where he went.

At this time, in the backyard, there were only two people, Li Wuji and Ling Yuyan.

"It's okay, don't stay alone in the mansion all the time, you can go out and walk around, you can't leave the capital, but no one said that you can't even step out of the mansion, right?"

Li Wuji looked at Ling Yuyan and said slowly.

In fact, his original intention was to hope that Ling Yuyan could take the initiative to find him when she was fine.

"After so many years, I'm used to it, and where can I go? There's not much to shop about. ”

Ling Yuyan smiled and said softly.

"There are many interesting places, such as Zibo Ju, Deyunxuan, going to eat barbecue, listening to cross talk, it's better than you staying in the house all day long."

Li Wuji said with a smile.

Hearing Li Wuji's words, Ling Yuyan couldn't help but blush again, she was very smart, of course she could understand the meaning of Li Wuji's words.

"My identity is different, and if I get too close to you, I'm afraid it will cause you unnecessary trouble."

Ling Yuyan shook her head and said seriously.

"I'm not afraid of trouble by nature, and I can do whatever I want."

"Besides, with me, you can move around the entire capital at will, and no one dares to embarrass you!"

Li Wuji spread his hands and said confidently.

After listening to Li Wuji's words, Ling Yuyan couldn't help but raise her head and looked at Li Wuji seriously.

Looking at the way Li Wuji's true feelings were revealed, Ling Yuyan had mixed feelings in her heart, she really wanted to agree, but thinking of her own situation and the heavy responsibility of her family and country, she forced herself to dispel this idea.

In the end, she could only shake her head gently, which was a tactful refusal of Li Wuji.

Seeing Ling Yuyan's response, Li Wuji couldn't help but feel a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't mind, he just smiled helplessly, and used tea to hide his loss.

A conversation that was not smooth made the originally ambiguous atmosphere between the two people a little awkward, they both knew what the other party was thinking, but in the face of reality, they couldn't explain too much.

In this way, the two people sat opposite each other silently, drinking tea silently, close at hand, but they were still thinking about each other.

"County Lord."

"A subordinate of the Hou Ye came outside, claiming that he had something important to discuss with the Hou Ye."

At this moment, Xia Qiu appeared in the backyard at the right time, slowly came to the backyard, looked at the inexplicable two, and whispered.

"It's time for me to go."

Li Wuji put down the teacup with a smile, glanced at Ling Yuyan, and said slowly.

"Childe walks slowly."

Ling Yuyan got up slowly, hesitated, but in the end she could only say goodbye softly without saying a word.

She wanted to keep it, but she didn't dare.

Because she didn't know what kind of situation and transformation would happen next once she accepted that kindness.

A long, long time ago, she had lost her freedom, and she couldn't do many things with her heart.

Li Wuji smiled and slowly walked towards the front yard.

Ling Yuyan stopped in place, watching Li Wuji gradually disappear at the gate of the courtyard, and sighed helplessly, wondering in her heart whether this would be the last time he came to the door.

Will you still come to me?

...

"What's the matter?!"

On the carriage back, Li Wuji looked at Cao Zi'an, who was sitting opposite him, and asked in a deep voice.

Although he didn't give up, the difference just now still made him a little stunned, and he always felt that he had lost something.

He's a straight talker, and he's a person who doesn't like to force others to make choices.

He knew that Ling Yuyan's refusal contained too many difficulties that could not be explained clearly.

In fact, those eyeliners lurking in the capital of Ling Guo were already in Tianshu's intelligence library...
