The Regent is my cat

When the carriage reached the canal outside the city, there was still an incense stick of time before the boat to Jinling set sail, which gave Jian Linqing time to talk.

He looked at Yangxi who was looking out curiously, then at Mujin who was thinking about something, and stroked the embroidered cushion under his palm, "Yangxi."

Yang Xi turned around, "What's the matter, Your Highness?"

Jian Linqing took out an envelope from his sleeve and handed it to her, "I found out where your parents are now. Didn't you always say that you would ask them face to face why they sold you? You can ask now."

There was no happy expression on Yangxi's face. Although she was usually silly and happy, she was sensitively aware of the unfavorable atmosphere at the moment, so she just said thank you Your Highness.

Then she heard her Highness say to Mu Jin: "You once told me that you want to open your own introduction shop in the future, make introductions in summer, and go to various places in other seasons. I will find a shop for you , this is the title deed, you keep it."

"No," Yang Xi was at a loss, "What do you mean, Your Highness? Aren't we going to Jinling?"

Jian Linqing corrected her with a smile, "I'm going to Jinling, and you go live your own lives."

"...Why so suddenly, Your Highness?"

"Where is it suddenly? This is what I thought about a long time ago. You have been with me for so long, and it's time to live your own life. Wouldn't it be good to let you be free?"

Yang Xi scratched his head, "But staying by His Highness's side doesn't make you feel free."

Jian Linqing was dumbfounded by her pure question, and Mu Jin, who had been silent all this time, said, "Jinling can also open a primer shop."

"But the capital is prosperous. Yan Chen is here too, so I can take care of you. If someone bullies you in Jinling, I won't be able to take care of you."

Yang Xi shook his head and said, "Your Highness doesn't even need to do anything! I'll just show Mu Jin the shop! I might do it."

Jian Linqing echoed her, "Yes, yes, I almost forgot how powerful you are, and I didn't give you a chance to show off here. Remember what I said, and I will write to you when I arrive in Jinling. Where is it?" It is also more convenient to write a letter with Damu, he wrote last time that the antidote is already in sight."

"That's great!"

Mu Jin ignored the atmosphere and asked, "Your Highness, tell me the truth, is there no antidote at all?"

Jian Linqing's heart trembled, "What are you thinking?"

"But I don't worry. Anyway, the title deed of the store is already in my hands. Don't worry about it for a while. I will go to Jinling with you. I want to see with my own eyes that you have taken the antidote and are no longer poisonous. I will leave before I leave."

Yangxi said from the side, "I want me too! Don't worry about seeing your parents. It doesn't matter whether you see me or not. The most important thing is watching His Highness recover."

But there was silence in the carriage, no matter how upset Yang Xi was, he looked at Jian Linqing and then at Mu Jin, "...Your Highness?"

Jian Linqing knew that he couldn't hide it anymore, he rubbed his forehead, "How did you find out?"

"Your Highness is too flustered. He was seriously injured and left in a hurry instead of being recuperated in the mansion. I thought it was because the lord liked you. You wanted to leave because you were afraid that he would find out your identity. But now you want to send us away. I I didn’t think it was right, so I tried to test it out.”

Jian Linqing couldn't help but clicked his tongue softly in annoyance, if that fellow Yan Manman hadn't disturbed his heart, he wouldn't have made such a low-level mistake.

He closed his eyes, and finally chose to be honest, "Yes, yes, there is no antidote, I lied to you, I will die soon, on my birthday."

Yang Xi cried out without clearing his mind, "No, okay, why did he say he was dead? I don't want His Highness to die. Didn't Master Damu look for an antidote?"

But Mu Jin pressed her shoulder, she looked at Jian Linqing, her eyes were red, "Is it certain death?"

Jian Linqing smiled at her, "You are the ones who know what I have done best. We asked for medical advice in the early years, but did it ever have half the effect?"

Mu Jin also smiled, "Then we still have more than six months, Your Highness, I won't leave, I will accompany you, don't worry about me being sad, I am not sad, I even feel relaxed."

Yangxi was stunned, tears were about to flow into a brook, "It's fine if you don't feel sad that His Highness is going to die, why do you still... still..."

"Don't you know how Your Highness survived all these years?" Mu Jin couldn't help but blushed when she thought about the past, "Your Highness had such a hard life, every time you were locked up by Madam Zhuang to beat and scold you to vent your anger, Yue was poisoned. When I posted it, I was thinking that death is the greatest relief for our Highness."

Jian Linqing rubbed her head, "Sometimes I think so too, but I'm still very lucky to have lived to this day. I'm so lucky to have met so many people who treat me well," he looked at Yangxi , "Don't be sad about my death, just think that His Highness has lived enough and is about to be released. If you are sad, you are not allowed to follow me anymore."

Yang Xi quickly wiped away her tears, "Then I won't be sad, I will follow His Highness, and we will spend the rest of the time well."

Jian Linqing smiled, but her nose was sore, "That's right."

They sailed in the canal for five days in a boat, following the wind, and arrived in Jinling in the early morning.

Jinling is not at all the same as the capital city. This city is beautiful and elegant, with white walls and black tiles. Bronze wind chimes are hung under the cornices. When the wind blows, it makes a clear ringing sound. Every household seems to be planting flowers. The color is gorgeous and the fragrance is fragrant.

There are many rivers in the city, they support arched bridges, and small boats perch on the banks of the rivers, Jian Linqing thought that he must come to sit and watch.

The car stopped at the entrance of the alley, so Jian Linqing got down and walked. The bluestone alley seemed to be filled with stories from the old days. The high courtyard walls on both sides were covered with moss and young flowers.

At the end of the alley is a house with white walls and black tiles, but the door is dusty and the courtyard door is rusted, obviously it has not been lived in for a long time. Jian Linqing took out the key and opened the dusty door.

In the desolation of the courtyard, he looked back at Yangxi and Mujin, "This is my mother's home."

Yangxi was startled, "Mrs. Zhuang used to live here, I can't believe she grew up in such a gentle place."

Jian Linqing also felt the same way, he clapped his hands, "Stop worrying about feeling, this room can be tidied up."

This tidying up took three full days. The new owner of the house had to go through various procedures. In the house, the old furniture had to be replaced, the beams and walls had to be repaired and painted, the dead trees and flowers had to be cleared out and replaced. Lively and full of life.

Not to mention that Jian Linqing is very picky about food and lodging, so he has to choose the furniture in person and choose carefully, so they didn't settle down until the fifth day after arriving in Jinling.

To celebrate, Jian Linqing paid a lot of money to hire the most famous chef in Jinling to cook at home, and set up a table of sumptuous delicacies in the yard.

The meal lasted until the night rose, and Mu Jin sent the happy chef out. When he came back, Yang Xi was so drunk that he lay on the table.

Their highness propped his face and took a sip of the peach blossom wine in the wine glass. His face was a little stupefied. He held too much alcohol, and he was only slightly drunk until now. Mu Jin took his glass away, "Your highness, sober up." , it's late at night, it's time to take a shower and rest."

Jian Linqing looked at the wine glass she had taken away, and said with a third of drunkenness: "The peach blossom wine in Jinling is not as good as the one in the capital. I want to drink the wine in the capital."

Mu Jin knew where he was missing the peach blossom wine in the capital, he was clearly missing the person who drank with him, "If His Highness wants to drink, I will go find it tomorrow."

Jian Linqing stood up, "I still need to buy beef, and peach blossom wine is best served with beef."

Mu Jin could only say yes, and sent him back to the room.

Jian Linqing felt as if he was floating on the clouds, and shrank lightly to the couch by the window. He habitually watched and stretched out his hand to the side, hugging the soft and fat cat doll, "full ..."

He called out the name subconsciously, and soon realized that something was wrong. He raised the cat doll a little higher, looked at the cat's eyes inlaid with turquoise, smiled and rubbed the tips of the doll's ears, "Forgot, Now it’s Yuanyuan, your brother didn’t come with me.”

His brows and eyes were full of loneliness that he hadn't even noticed, "Forget it, I haven't seen your brother for ten days, and I don't know if he is eating well, if he will lose weight, and finally put him on the fat Well, a cat needs to be fat to be cute, and if it's thin...it means it's in a bad mood and has no appetite."

His voice became very soft, as if he was saying a secret, "It's my fault, I made him thinner, I didn't raise him well..."

He spoke in a low voice, and some sentences passed quickly, as if crying.

Ye Mingzhu quietly illuminated the person holding the doll in the corner of the room and chattering. The drunkenness dissipated with time, and the consciousness floating in the clouds returned. Jian Linqing rubbed the doll's face and laughed at himself, "What am I doing?"

He put the doll down properly, and finally reached out to pat it, then walked to the bed and took out a small rosewood box from the small drawer beside the bed.

He sat down cross-legged, leaning his back against the side of the bed, rubbed the edge of the round box with his fingertips as if thinking for a while before opening it.

Inside the box lies a jade pendant, its shape is just a simple ring, which can only be found by looking closely, and it is engraved with tiny characters.

It was a complete prayer scripture, which Jian Linqing inscribed for Yan Chen after he suspected that he was Yan Manman.

At that time, he thought that even if Yan Chen was really a monster, all the gods and Buddhas in the sky should treat him equally for the sake of his achievements and this scripture, and bless him for the rest of his life without any disasters or difficulties, and everything will go smoothly.

It's just that too many things happened later, and this jade pendant was not given away after all, and it was not suitable to give away. He rubbed the jade pendant and recited scriptures silently every night, hoping that the gods and Buddhas would bless his little fat cat demon.

His little chubby cat demon, Jian Linqing pressed the jade pendant to his lips.

He admits he's a little lonely, that he's not that free-spirited.

He misses him.
