9 Nightmares
When Xu Rong heard Lin Ningsu's words, a layer of ice immediately formed on his face, and his gaze at her was as sharp as a hidden knife.
Ruan Qing noticed the edge between the two, but he didn't understand what it meant.
It's funny to say, although Xu Rong was in charge of millions of military divisions in his previous life, he was never afraid of anything. Seeing that Lin Ningsu was even more proud, his skin was as thick as the city wall, and he never wanted to quarrel and fight. But when it came to Ruan Qing, it was like a mouse seeing a cat, hiding his thoughts tightly. Willing to be a good brother to his cousin.
"General Xu has been busy since he returned from outside the territory, just a few days. I don't dare waste any more time he wants to spend with you. Lin Ningsu was blunt, and he almost didn't poke out Xu Rong's thoughts.
"Lin Ningsu..."Xu Rong gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Lin Ningsu met his cannibalistic gaze, looked thoughtfully for a moment, and then laughed out loud. The girl's slender body was buried in a velvet brocade quilt, trembling lightly in a pleasant smile.
Be angry, she loves to watch.
Xu Rong's expression had darkened to the bottom of the pot, but it eased a little when Lin Ningsu was in pain from the back wound pulled by his big smile.
He lifted the tent and turned away, without stopping.
Now only she and Ruan Qing are left here, and this person is still ignorant, as if he doesn't understand what the two of them mean by their words.
Maybe it's true, maybe it's pretended.
However, there are some things that can be convenient.
"Miss Ruan, you really don't have to come to me anymore, I don't like you." Lin Ningsu said seriously, the daughter of the general of the Zhu Kingdom serves the soup here every day, and she can't afford to lose weight.
"If this continues, your father will have to come back for our Lin family."
It's so eye-catching.
Ruan Qing looked like a soft persimmon, but this time he was not pinched, but refused softly: "If you don't repay your kindness, it's unrighteousness, my father has taught me this since I was a child." β
Lin Ningsu shook his head, his heart was really stubborn. She simply covered her with a quilt and left her alone.
However, the place where Ruan Thanh is always able to attract many people. As soon as Xu Rong left with his front foot, someone summoned him again.
The man didn't come in, but just stood outside the tent: "My Royal Highness has an invitation, I wonder if Miss Ruan is free?" β
Lin Ningsu knew this voice, it seemed to be Ruiping, the guard beside Meng Huan.
At this time, what did Meng Huan do with Ruan Qing?
After Ruan Qing went out, Lin Ningsu took out the jade pendant under the pillow and looked at it. Without this thing, Meng Huan would never still love Ruan Qing.
It turned out that she still thought simply.
The tent was thin, and she listened to the conversation between the two of them clearly.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is well."
"It was Ruan Qing's incompetence that failed to fulfill his promise and get the jade pendant back." Ruan Qing said apologetically.
"It's just a pendant, and it's not that important. Qingqing doesn't have to blame himself. Meng Huan's tone was gentle.
At this time, Lin Ningsu could be regarded as understanding that Meng Huan had long been in love with Ruan Qing, and it was not because of this jade pendant at all.
She had put so much effort into winning back this broken stone, but it was useless!
If this is the case, things will be much more difficult to do, and Meng Huan will still obstruct Ruan Qing and Lin Yan's family affairs.
Although Lin Yan said that his methods were spicy and treacherous, he was now weak, where could he compete with Meng Huan. In the eyes of outsiders, the prince is of the same heart as his father....
In the end, this person still has to blame the Lin family.
Just thinking about this, Lin Ningsu already felt that his little brain was full of mush, and he was very dizzy. The brocade quilt was warm, and before she knew it, she drowned in the nightmare of the past.
She returned to the day Ruan Qing married Meng Huan.
The Zhuguo General's Mansion is located in the west of the city, and if the Xi team wants to take the avenue to the East Palace, they must pass through the Lin Mansion.
Lin Ningsu stood outside the door of Lin Yan's room with a bowl of decanting soup, but he didn't dare to go in.
When she teamed up with Meng Huan to mess up Ruan Qinglin Yan's marriage, she had no regrets or fear. Later, Meng Huan and Ruan Qing got married, and when she saw Lin Yan's face as usual, she only thought that this person didn't care about Ruan Qing as much as she imagined.
But until that day, Lin Yan disregarded the etiquette of a gentleman who cherished the day, and would rather leave a handle for political enemies to participate in, and refused to participate in the marriage of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today.
He shut himself in his room, the mellow smell of liquor wafting through the window, with a warm fragrance. But Lin Ningsu felt a chill in her heart, and at this moment, she hesitated.
Pushing open the heavy wooden door, Lin Ningsu's voice trembled: Lin Yan... It's a decanting soup...
The jade crown fell, the algae scattered, and the scarlet eyes locked tightly on the uninvited girl. The eyes were dark, as if they could form a fine net and hang people in it.
Frightened, Lin Ningsu's heart froze, smashed the soup Gu, and stiffened in place.
"Lin Yan...."
The liquor stuck to his porcelain-white fingertips, wet, and he beckoned to her.
Lin Ningsu didn't dare to go over.
"Afraid of me?"
She shook her head and moved closer.
The two were close, and she crashed straight into Lin Yan's bottomless eyes. This man's eyes are not instantaneous, and they make people feel hairy in their hearts.
Lin Ningsu felt strange in her heart, but she didn't dare to say anything, nor did she dare to leave rashly, and finally shouted out the title she never wanted to say: "Brother..."
Since she showed her heart, she hasn't called this person's brother for a long time. But now, for some reason, she feels that this title is like an umbrella that belongs to her.
After that day, she didn't dare to approach Lin Yan. I always felt that Lin Yan had changed, but the warmth and warmth on that person's face as always made her feel that everything had not changed.
Then, Lin Yan became Meng Yan, was named the king of Pingling, and moved out of the Lin Mansion.
Lin Ningsu wanted to see Lin Yan and began to become difficult, she was not as ignorant as before, and would do the stupid thing of going to the gate of the palace to ask for a meeting.
It's just that she is faintly uneasy in her heart, which comes from her father's sorrow and her mother's words to persuade her to marry Shen Jing'an many times.
She knew that Shangdu City might be about to change.
Since she was a child, she has never been separated from Lin Yan for such a long time.
In those months, she couldn't stand the longing for Lin Yan, so she sneaked out of the Lin Mansion in the middle of the night and came to the gate of the Pingling Palace.
I wanted to take a sneak peek and go back, but I didn't think about it, but I was taken as an assassin by the guards in front of the palace and arrested directly.
It's both humiliating and makes people want to laugh.
Lin Yan led her back, she was not angry, her nose was sore, and she immediately threw herself into Lin Yan's arms and cried for a long time.
"Brother, you will protect me, protect my father and mother, right?"
Lin Yan didn't answer, but he didn't push her away.
These can't be considered nightmares, the only memory that Lin Ningsu didn't dare to look back and could only lick quietly in the middle of the night was after Lin Yan ascended the throne.
During that time, my father was almost white-headed overnight.
The former crown prince Meng Huan was imprisoned, and his future is unknown. She also knew that her father was the prince's master and had a very close relationship with the prince.
She didn't understand, but she also knew that the relationship between her father and Lin Yan as the new emperor was not good, and even the hatred was greater than the favor.
Lin Sheng never told her about the major affairs of the court, she could only ask her father innocently, is her brother much more powerful than Meng Huan now....
Is that so, Lin Yan will marry Ruan Qing? In ancient times, there were no precedents like that.
Lin Ningsu wanted to ask what was going on, to ask Lin Yan for his answer, and also to ask for his father how long the Lin family could last in this stormy coup.
She also wanted to ask:
If you don't want to be my husband, then are you willing to be my brother?
Lin Sheng didn't let Lin Ningsu go out because he knew that this daughter was very willful in the past. The previous relationship with the daughter of the general of Zhuguo actually had Lin Ningsu's participation, and he really spoiled his daughter.
Although there is a brother-sister relationship in the past, it is difficult to protect....
But Lin Mansion couldn't hold Lin Ningsu, so she ran out again.
The imperial city is no better than the Pingling Palace, and she walked for two hours before she limped to the Xuanmen.
People don't always have good luck, she reported to the guards, saying that she was Lin Yan's... Younger sister.
"Where is your majesty's sister today?" The guard replied coldly.
She couldn't enter the imperial city, but she didn't dare to go back to the Lin Mansion, because if Father Lin knew that she had sneaked out like this, he would directly follow her mother's words and directly stuff her into the sedan chair in the Zhenyuan General's Mansion.
In the cold world, she waited another hour.
Until a carriage appeared at the gate of the imperial city, she looked up and noticed that the twelve glazed ornaments on the top of the carriage were only used in the East Palace in the past.
Qianying gently lifted the curtain, it was Ruan Qing. Once a coup d'Γ©tat, Meng Huan's life and death were unknown, and she was not happy as a former crown princess, and she was reduced a lot.
"Miss Ruan, can you take me in." Lin Ningsu let go of all his self-esteem and bowed his head to the person he had always regarded as an enemy.
The forbidden place of the palace, but Ruan Qing can enter it at will.
In fact, from the moment she met Ruan Qing here, she knew the answers to all her questions.
But she still wanted to ask Lin Yan clearly, and let this person tell her in person, so that she could die.
Carved fence jade brick, Qionglou Yuyu.
After becoming the emperor, Lin Yan was even more unapproachable, and the already alienated people were separated behind the luxurious and cold twelve crowns, and they couldn't see their expressions clearly.
He didn't seem surprised when he saw Lin Ningsu, but just ordered someone to take her to a palace she had never been to.
Lin Ningsu didn't know what Lin Yan had talked about with Ruan Qing, but she was very scared, and the tiredness of a day and several months of panic had aggravated her uneasiness.
She stared at the huge golden cage in the room, unaware that it was her nightmare.
That night, she asked a lot of questions, but Lin Yan didn't say a word.
She didn't know how she spent that night, only vaguely remembering the tangled strands of hair, the chaotic aura, and the knuckled fingers.
The next day, she was sent back to the Lin Mansion in good condition. Dressed in the concubine's imperial ayaluo, holding the hair bun of the married woman of the Meng Dynasty.
Mother looked at the black green under her eyes and almost fainted.
Father immediately drew his sword and went in the direction of Xuanmen, but it was Lin Ningsu who stopped him so that he would not be impulsive.
The past is like water, the past is in a dream, but the girl's face is not the slightest joy, but full of sorrow.
The wound recurred, and she suddenly had a fever in the middle of the night, and her whole body was hot.
"Father, mother, brother...."
Through the curtain, Lin Yan heard the girl's painful whispers, he paused and did not enter.
Lin Ningsu curled up in the quilt, there was fine sweat on her forehead, her lips were pale, and her eyebrows were frowning.
The forehead is piping hot.
After a while, Lin Yan called for a basin of warm water. He wrung out the white towel and gently wiped his soft and delicate fingers.
"Brother... Cold...."
Lin Yan helped the girl up and let her lean on her arms to keep warm. It's a pity that he has cold poison in his body, and the temperature on his body is always colder than hot.
The girl seemed to be able to feel the familiar aroma of pine and cypress, and couldn't help but approach Lin Yan. But in the dream, the pine and cypress were clearly the source of all suffering.
- -
Before going to bed, Shen Jingan really couldn't rest assured that Lin Ningsu wanted to take one last look at her before going back to bed.
"Yunluan, is your girl asleep?"
Yun Luan shook her head, she sighed and said, "No, the girl suddenly had a fever, and now it is the eldest prince who is taking care of her." β
When Shen Jingan heard this, he frowned and said, "I'll take a look." β
Before his hand could touch the curtain, it was lifted from the inside.
Lin Yan stood outside the tent door with his hands in his hands, blocking the narrow door tightly.
Shen Jing'an bowed, but his eyes probed in worriedly: "Brother Wenpu, I'll take a look at Asu." β
His eyes were cold, and he swept over the person without being salty: "She is asleep, please go back." β
