Half in the river wind, half in the clouds

The feeling of drowning and choking are completely different.

In her previous life, when Lin Jinran was learning to swim, although she had a coach and a lifebuoy, she still had to choke on water several times before she finally learned how to swim. Choking on water is very uncomfortable. Water has entered her ears, nose, and mouth, and her chest hurts like it's exploding.

Drowning is very peaceful. There is no suffocation, no choking, no struggle, and she can open her eyes and see herself spitting out pure white bubbles.

At that moment, in a life-or-death situation, she only thought: Isn't blowing bubbles just choking on water? Why didn't I feel anything?

Then her waist felt tight, and a pair of long arms came over and pulled her out of the water.

She was willing to die now, which would free her. If she was rescued, she didn't know what crime she would be charged with for murdering the princess, and what kind of torture she would have to endure!

She struggled hard, but the other person had amazing arm strength, so she could only struggle for a bit and was still being carried back.

In desperation, he bit the man's arm. He just groaned and his speed did not slow down.

But the lake water took this opportunity to rush into his mouth, ears, and body.

The pain was like an explosion and a burning pain, which made her lose consciousness.

In a daze, she saw herself wearing the Monkey King's battle robe and going to steal the wedding dress of the Princess of Ji'an County, but was stopped by Shen Guxing who was wearing a cassock. He said righteously: "You monkey, how dare you transform into your beloved disciple Wukong and confuse me! I am a straight man, how could I like a female monkey like you!" As he said that, he silently recited the tight hoop curse, and the tight hoop curse turned into a steel whip, which lashed Jiang Feng's heart again and again.

It hurts so much!

Jiang Feng had no choice but to hide while begging for mercy: "Saint monk, spare my life! The Broken Back is justified!"

Shen Guxing's Tang Monk didn't listen, and the spell to tighten the hoop became more and more urgent. The Princess of Ji'an also came up and blew into Jiang Feng's ear: "With your strength, you are worthy of looking like me!"

As he spoke, a cold light flashed, and he picked up the dagger and slashed Jiang Feng's face!

The knife seemed to have scraped against his bone. Jiang Feng rolled on the ground in pain. He turned over and fell off a bottomless cliff.

Her body kept falling, but it seemed that only her body was falling while her internal organs were rising. The double pressure made her stomach churn and she wanted to vomit.

Finally, she fell heavily to the ground, and it turned out to be a dilapidated temple with drafts on all sides. She was in tattered clothes and shivered with cold. Li Longye hugged a very beautiful woman, who looked like Chu Yan, but not like her. The woman leaned over Li Longye's ear like a water snake and said, "My lord, this slave is so evil. Not only did she murder the princess, but she also refused to give you the jade seal. Why don't we sell her to a brothel?"

Li Longye just looked at her fiercely and hatefully, without making any comment. The woman saw this and really called a group of eunuchs, stripped her clothes off, and threw her naked in the snow.

Jiang Feng was frightened now. She cried and shouted, "My Lord, save me!"

But he woke himself up suddenly, and saw the curtains hanging low and the candlelight flickering.

Li Longye sat on the edge of the bed with bloodshot eyes.

She didn't know whether she was dreaming or awake, but she was afraid of the pain and didn't want to suffer that pain again, so she begged: "Don't abandon me... I'm not... not giving you the imperial seal... I..."

Every time I spoke a word, it felt like a blade cutting my throat, and the sound was extremely unpleasant.

Li Longye was extremely gentle: "I don't blame you..."

It was indeed a dream. How could he not blame her! He blamed her for choosing Shen Guxing and trampling on his sincerity, for wanting to give the imperial seal to Li Longji instead of giving it to him, and for not wanting Chu Yan to marry into the palace as a daughter of the Jiang family...

It’s also good not to blame her in the dream.

She endured the pain and said, "My whole body hurts, and my face hurts even more. Please don't leave me in a brothel."

Li Longye's face looked even uglier. Jiang Feng thought he was angry again and tried to explain: "I really know I was wrong! I don't want Shen Guxing, and I'll give you the Imperial Seal. Chu Yan wants to be the daughter of the Jiang family, and I won't stop her anymore... cough cough cough."

Jiang Feng spoke anxiously and excitedly, and eventually he started coughing. She felt a fishy-sweet taste in her mouth, and when she wiped it with her hand, she coughed up blood.

Li Longye held her arm and said, "I know everything. I will protect you. Don't be afraid."

Jiang Feng's heart dropped to the ground, his teeth chattered, and he said, "I'm so cold..."

Li Longye took off his coat, lay down next to her, and wrapped his strong body around her in his arms.

Hot as a furnace.

Jiang Feng fell into a deep sleep again.

Lin Jinran once did two multiple-choice questions.

The first question was one I saw in a teenage magazine when I was in middle school: If you were walking on the road, would you rather be hit by a car or a truck?

The classmates around her subconsciously thought that the consequences of hitting a car were far less serious than a truck, and they all chose cars, but she didn't choose either of them. She knew clearly that if they hit, both cars would be smashed to pieces.

So, when Shen Guxing and Li Longye were placed in front of her, she made the same choice as in her previous life. They were both very dangerous, and neither of them was the best option.

第二个选择题似乎是一篇心灵鸡汤：你没有钱的时候，一个人给你10块钱，另一个给你100元。但是给你10元的是因为他口袋只有10元，而给你100元的他口袋有却有1000元。

According to the given conditions, Lin Jinran chose the person who gave 10 yuan.

Therefore, Jiang Feng chose Shen Guxing, because compared to Li Longye, she seemed to be able to possess him 100%.

The fact is, when you can't see a person clearly, it's meaningless to discuss 10 yuan or 100 yuan.

Toxic chicken soup is harmful to people!

At this time, the person who gave her 100 yuan was carefully feeding her the medicine, still not allowing her to spill a drop.

How could Jiang Feng dare to complain? Even if it was poison, she had to pretend that she was enjoying it.

Li Longye asked: "Is it bitter?"

Jiang Feng thought, maybe he didn't hide his expression well? Then he forced a smile and replied, "It's not bitter."

Li Longye remembered that on the hill, she was afraid of the bitterness and refused to take the medicine properly, crying and making trouble, so he couldn't help but frown. Jiang Feng was shocked and quickly added: "It is a little bitter, but it doesn't matter, I can..."

Li Longye seemed to be even angrier. He put the bowl heavily on the tray and walked out with a dark face.

Jiang Feng was shocked, and he really didn't know what he had said wrong again. He could only look at You Ran blankly.

You Ran sighed, took the bowl and continued to feed the medicine.

It's so bitter!

She said, "I'll drink it all in one gulp."

You Ran thought about it, then put the medicine bowl to her lips. Jiang Feng drank it all in a few gulps, and You Ran quickly handed her water to rinse her mouth.

Jiang Feng's old injury on his right shoulder was triggered when he was struggling in the lake, and now his right arm is completely immobile. His left hand was also injured by Cheng An, and it is now wrapped in gauze, and no one knows what the result will be.

She was like a useless person, needing others to take care of her for everything. She gradually regained her consciousness and strength in the past few days. Li Longye was always elusive, and fearing that she would be lonely, he transferred You Ran over, and she had the opportunity to ask about the follow-up of the matter.

After she dragged Princess Cheng'an into the water that day, the eunuchs worked together to rescue Cheng'an, but she sank to the bottom of the lake. Li Longye happened to pass by and went to rescue her without saying a word.

After finally getting on the shore, a maidservant of Princess Cheng'an came up to demand her help, and started shouting for war and killing. Li Longye didn't tolerate this, and kicked the maidservant into the lake. He then carried her and strode away.

Later, Princess Cheng'an fell seriously ill. Empress Wei was furious. A mere maid dared to murder the princess in broad daylight. She simply didn't take her, the queen, seriously. So she forced Li Longye to hand over Jiang Feng. Li Longye accepted the punishment, but he just refused to hand over the person.

Seeing this, Empress Wei sent a thousand cavalrymen to search the mansion. They turned the Zhongshan County Prince's mansion upside down, but they couldn't find Jiang Feng.

This was already a challenge to the imperial power and an open rebellion. Empress Wei did not say a word and put Li Longye in prison.

At this point, Prince Li Dan and Princess Taiping went to the palace to meet the emperor at night. No one knew what the three brothers and sisters said to each other, and when they came out, their eyes were red.

It is probably a good time to reminisce about the glorious past and express the deep love between brothers and sisters.

After Prince Li Dan and Princess Taiping left, a fierce conflict broke out between Li Xian and Empress Wei. It is said that our emperor was scratched on the face by Empress Wei, but he insisted and released Li Longye from the prison overnight.

Jiang Feng was terrified when he heard this.

Both for Li Longye and for myself.

"Then where are we now?" Jiang Feng asked finally.

You Ran replied, "She was originally placed in one of the prince's private residences. Before the prince was imprisoned, he was worried about something going wrong, so he sent the girl to Princess Taiping's residence."

Jiang Feng's eyes widened and he asked anxiously, "Did he sneak in? How can that be possible? It would be terrible if he was discovered."

You Ran was speechless. He went forward and felt her forehead. It was not hot. Then he smiled and said, "I thought the young lady had a fever and was talking nonsense again! What kind of place is the princess's mansion? How could a living person just sneak in? Of course the princess agreed. The princess also came to see the young lady several times when she was sick!"

Jiang Feng was stunned. If Li Longye saved her, it was because he still had a little spark of love for her, but what did Princess Taiping want?

After what happened with Shen Guxing, she no longer dared to easily believe that someone would treat her well unconditionally. Even Li Longye had told her in person that he didn't have to have her, but that she was prettier and had a close relationship with Yuxi.

But today, she really doesn't have a second jade seal to give to the gods.

As he was talking, Li Longye pushed the door open again. He stared at the medicine bowl that had been completely drained, lost in thought.

Jiang Feng was in a dilemma. Should he ask her to drink it or not?

You Ran has learned his lesson these days. When he saw Li Longye coming in, he took the annoying medicine bowl and went downstairs.

Li Longye stepped forward and stretched out his right hand, but Jiang Feng was startled and reflexively dodged backwards.

Damn it! This is a damn stress response!

When he opened his palm, there was a piece of candy! He went out with a dark face just to get this?

Seeing that he just spread his hands without moving, Jiang Feng's hands were equivalent to nothing, and he couldn't let the prince just sit there like that.

She stretched her head and, like a puppy, tried to pick up something from his hand with her mouth. The ointment on her face stained Li Longye's palm. Jiang Feng felt annoyed at being frivolous, but was also afraid that Li Longye would dislike her.

Li Longye's palm moved slightly, and he felt a tingling sensation. He then gently stroked her head a few times, like a dog owner coaxing her.

It doesn’t matter whether it’s a human or a dog, the candy is really sweet.

Li Longye sat beside the bed and asked, "The weather outside is nice, shall I take you for a walk?"

Jiang Feng wanted to say that she only had enough strength to drink a bowl of medicine, but she didn't dare to go against someone else's wishes, so she nodded and said, "I've been getting moldy in the house, and I really want to get some sun."

Seeing that she was interested, Li Longye helped her up and asked someone to put a cloak on her before coming out.

The sun is shining, the breeze is gentle, and everything is lovely.

Jiang Feng only took a few steps before beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. Li Longye seemed to sense her tiredness and asked someone to bring in two reclining chairs. The one for Jiang Feng was covered with a thick blanket.

The two of them lay side by side, neither speaking.

At that time, the clouds were blue, the flowers were deep green, and there were thousands of red dots flying.

I don’t know how long it took, but Jiang Feng fell asleep again.

There was still a thick plaster on the girl's face. When Princess Anle slapped her, she must have been wearing something on her hand, and two long cuts were left on her face. Because they were soaked in water, they became infected.

Although medicine was used and several imperial doctors were replaced, none of them could guarantee that there would be no scars.

It doesn't matter if she leaves a scar. If she can't get married, she can only be with him.

But he then thought, if she was of a personality like that, even if she couldn't get married, she would rather not marry him?

His brows furrowed even more.

The girl's face, which was not covered with medicine, was tanned red by the sun and covered with fine beads of sweat. He was afraid that she would be sunburned, so he held up the veil to shield her from the sun.

She hadn't seen Li Longye for several days, and because she had a wound on her face, she was afraid of offending Princess Taiping, so she didn't dare to kowtow to him.

When she was bored, Li Zan brought her a bunch of books, all of which were novelties, ghost stories, and Qimen Dunjia. She became somewhat interested, and since her hands could not hold the books, she rested them on her legs. Even so, she needed You Ran to help her turn the pages.

After this happened a few times, she didn't even want to read the book anymore.

That day, Li Longye came again before dark, but Jiang Feng was asleep.

He was stunned when he saw the books neatly placed on the bookshelf. You Ran pointed his finger and shook his head when he saw this.

Li Longye did not wake up Jiang Feng. He just sat there for a while and then turned and left.

On the second day, Jiang's mother brought a visiting card from Princess Taiping's mansion and came to visit Jiang Feng.

In just over two months, the mother and daughter seemed to have met each other in a different world. Jiang Feng's miserable condition needs no elaboration. Although his arms and legs were still there, he could not carry anything with his shoulders or hands. Even his face, which the girl cared about the most, had two scars.

Jiang's mother became so thin that she was unrecognizable and was just skin and bones.

If there is a way back, the first step for Jiang's mother to take is to be a gentle mother, rather than believe in the so-called law of the jungle and the strict logic of survival of the fittest. The second step is to finalize the marriage between Jiang Feng and Gao Hui even if thousands of people oppose it.

Her daughter should have had a smooth, stable and happy life, but now she has ruined it all in the name of love.

She originally came to advise and comfort Jiang Feng, but now she could no longer restrain herself and leaned on Jiang Feng, crying bitterly.

And on that long afternoon, Jiang Feng heard Jiang's mother talk about that long past for the first time.
