The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 35
Lin Aoxue didn't sleep much that night, not only because of the pain in her shoulders, but also because her thoughts were too chaotic and her heart was too heavy. As soon as she closed her eyes, she was immediately disturbed by the chaotic thoughts like a torrent and tsunami, and it was difficult to She fell asleep, and the injury on her shoulder prevented her from turning her sideways, so she stared at the roof in a daze for almost the whole night.
Early the next morning, Yunyan came with the wound medicine. Seeing Lin Aoxue's haggard look and lack of energy, she couldn't help feeling a little worried, and asked with concern:
"Is the shoulder injury too painful? I will prescribe some painkillers with you today."
As she spoke, she placed the tray on the bedside, which contained wound medicine for bandaging, decoction for internal use, and a bowl of rice porridge.Yun Yan approached the bed, wanting to check on Lin Aoxue's injury again, but the latter subconsciously turned her head to avoid Yun Yan's gaze.
Yun Yan was stunned for a moment, her hand movements also stopped, she was suspended in the air, her eyes showed a puzzled expression, she was puzzled by Lin Aoxue's sudden resistance.And when she was thinking about the reason in her heart, the next moment, Lin Aoxue turned her head again, the expression on her face didn't seem to have much ups and downs, but Yun Yan felt a slight disobedience.
Lin Aoxue's eyelids drooped slightly. In order to conceal the momentary gaffe just now, she pursed her lips tightly, with a hesitant expression on her face, and said softly:
"Will the injury on my arm still heal?"
Yun Yan looked into her eyes, felt the confusion revealed in those eyes, she felt a little distressed, the uneasiness just now was quickly suppressed, she leaned towards Lin Aoxue involuntarily, her hands gently pressed against Lin Aoxue's arms, warm Soothe her emotions:
"I will do my best to bring you back to normal."
Lin Aoxue raised her head, looked at Yun Yan, and then lowered her gaze, her mood was very contradictory and complicated.Whenever she looked at Yunyan, she would think of what Yunyan said to her yesterday. She didn't want to put the worst possibility on them, but she couldn't restrain the heaviness and sadness rising from the bottom of her heart.
She wants to believe Yunyan, Yunyan has saved her life several times, and also kept the most important secret for her, but Yunyan is Bei Chenling's person.At this moment, if Lin Aoxue still felt that the golden key she hadn't found had nothing to do with the one Sui Liang gave her, then she was deceiving herself.
Compared with her own position, Yunyan is more likely to be on the opposite side of her.
Realizing the truth, Lin Aoxue was very depressed.
But she understands that she can't express these emotions, and can't let Yunyan notice her strangeness. She has to adjust her mood as quickly as possible and bury all the hidden dangers that may destroy the current friendly relationship between them in her heart.
She believed that Yunyan had no other purpose in approaching her, but at this moment she couldn't guarantee that she still had no bad intentions in going forward.
If Yunyan hadn't been so kind to her, and didn't make her feel the warmth that has been missing for more than ten years, then when she knew that there was a connection between Yunyan and Beichenling, she wouldn't be so regretful, and it just so happened that she could take advantage of this opportunity Through Yunyan, she can gain a deeper understanding of Beichenling and the Zongqin Palace.
But Lin Aoxue, who had felt the goodness of Yunyan, was greedy in her heart, unwilling to give up this warmth, but at this moment, she was unable to impose this unpredictable intention on Yunyan.
Now that she knew about the relationship between Yunyan and Bei Chenling, apart from the helpless sigh and pain in her heart, she had no intention of using Yunyan at all.
Yunyan bowed her head by her side, her gaze was warm and gentle, and her movements were gentle and careful to treat her wound and replace the wound medicine. Because Lin Aoxue's left shoulder could not move at all, Yunyan still poured the boiled soup and rice porridge like yesterday. Feed her drink spoon by spoon.
Lin Aoxue stared at Yun Yan's face, her heart dropped again and again, as if she was silent in an abyss.
The time seemed to be extremely short, and before she could figure out how to deal with her tangled, restless, and restless emotions, the bowl of rice porridge had already bottomed out.Yunyan put away the bowl, told Lin Aoxue to rest well, and just like last night, she didn't say much, and turned to leave.
"Smoke."
Lin Aoxue suddenly called out Yun Yan.
Yun Yan stopped, turned her head to look at her, her eyes were as gentle as ever, but Lin Aoxue clenched her fists involuntarily.She knew that no matter how she tried to hide it, her strange emotions were still infected with Yun Yan. Whether it was last night or this time, compared to the past, Yun Yan seemed too silent.
It was because of the uneasiness and resistance in her heart that hurt Yunyan, even though Yunyan didn't show it, she knew it clearly.
This is not the result she wants to see, even if one day in the future, she and Yun Yan may be forced to confront each other due to helplessness, but at least at this time, they should not hurt each other.
Besides, Yunyan had her own unavoidable difficulties. As early as the beginning, she knew that she should be more open-minded.
Lin Aoxue's mind was ups and downs, entangled endlessly, and when Yun Yan looked at her with puzzled eyes, she finally spoke:
"Yan'er, I want to talk to you."
When Yunyan heard this, a flash of surprise flashed across her face, and then she smiled slightly at Lin Aoxue. She put down the bowl in her hand, walked slowly to the side of the bed, took a chair and sat down, and supported it with her hands. Then the brain said:
"What do you want to say to me?"
She was calm and composed, not different from usual.
Lin Aoxue took a deep breath and felt a thin layer of sweat forming on her back. She stopped Yunyan just now because the turbulent emotions in her heart were too turbulent and impulsive, but now Yunyan sat down seriously, and she I suddenly became nervous and didn't know what to say.
Yun Yan was not in a hurry, nor did she urge her, she kept quiet, with a warm smile in her eyes, soothing Lin Aoxue's restless mood.
After a while, Lin Aoxue, who had been struggling for a long time, finally spoke:
"Will you go back to the north in the future?"
She had been brewing emotions for a long time, but she only asked this sentence.
Yun Yan still looked at her with a smile, her eyes were very gentle:
"What I have told you, I will naturally practice. Besides, I still prefer the life in the northern border to the capital."
Her warm and pleasant voice made Lin Aoxue's tense heart relax a little.
"Will the Princess agree with you to go back?"
Lin Aoxue thought that all of this was arranged by Bei Chenling. As Bei Chenling's subordinate, Yunyan had to obey Beichenling's words. If Beichenling refused, Yunyan would not be able to leave the capital.
Yun Yan laughed when she heard this, and said softly:
"I have the value for her to keep me in the capital, and I also have the value for her to allow me to go to the north. As long as I can bring enough benefits to achieve her goal, I have the right to do what I want things."
Lin Aoxue couldn't refute Yun Yan's words, but she looked at Yun Yan even more silently.
She pursed her lips tightly, with overwhelming emotions in her heart, obviously the person in front of her was smiling, Yun Yan was gentle and magnanimous, Lin Aoxue pretended to be strong, but there was a hint of forbearance hidden in her heart:
"If one day there is a conflict between you and me, and my position is contrary to your value, can we still maintain our current relationship? Can we continue to be friends?"
Lin Aoxue was in a very anxious mood, she knew she shouldn't say so much, misfortune came out of her mouth, and most of the variables came from inadvertent words, but she couldn't restrain the restlessness in her heart, and kept bewitching her, making her want to Get closer, get closer to Yunyan.
Lin Aoxue felt apprehensive about the possible differences in the future, even turning against each other, and the inescapable confrontation between the two of them. She wanted to hear Yunyan's answer.
Yunyan is an extremely sensitive person, since she has been able to get to her current position and gained Bei Chenling's trust, then she has something special about her.When Lin Aoxue uttered these words, the emotions revealed in her eyes were all within Yunyan's control.
Although she didn't know about the grievances between Lin Aoxue and the clan prince's mansion, she could guess eight out of ten other reasons. Yunyan guessed that the root cause of Lin Aoxue's anxiety was probably Because Lin Aoxue is a soldier in the northern border, she obeys Bei Chenlong's orders.
There is no doubt that the relationship between Bei Chenlong and the prince of the clan, Bei Chenhe, is hostile. This makes Lin Aoxue feel fear in her heart, lest there will be a rift with Yunyan.
Having figured this out, Yunyan didn't have this concern, on the contrary, she was a little happy, it was the joy that emerged from the bottom of her heart, she was happy that Lin Aoxue also cherished the rare fate between them, so she expressed it naturally Now on her face.
She wasn't flustered or anxious, she just smiled at Lin Aoxue and said:
"Whether the relationship between us is harmonious, whether we cherish each other, what does it have to do with our positions and the people we are loyal to?"
Lin Aoxue was taken aback when she heard the words, a dull expression appeared on her face, after a while, the dim eyes revealed light little by little from inside, the corners of her lips moved slightly, revealing a smile, there was something unknown in her eyes Ming's emotions were surging, almost pouring out of his eyes like water.
She stared at Yun Yan with such concentration that she was not willing to move away for a moment.
"Yan'er, you are really smart."
Lin Aoxue said in admiration, and at the same time laughed heartily.Yun Yan saw that she had finally put down the complicated melancholy in her heart, and the worries in her heart dissipated. Seeing Lin Aoxue was relieved and smiling happily, she couldn't help stretching out her hand, rubbing Lin Aoxue's head, and said with a smile:
"You didn't rest well last night, now lie down and sleep for a while."
Lin Aoxue nodded obediently, and with Yunyan's help, she lay down obediently. Today, the wound medicine Yunyan changed for her increased the dose of analgesic medicine. Lin Aoxue's injured shoulder was numb and numb, and the pain was not so strong.After she lay down, because she let go of her heavy thoughts, she soon felt sleepy and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Yun Yan stayed by Lin Aoxue's side all the time, and only after she was fully asleep did she look at her sleeping face tenderly, and then reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt for her, and then went out with two bowls.
After the conversation that day, Lin Aoxue's mood improved obviously. She continued to stay in Yunyan's mansion to recuperate with peace of mind. She didn't bid farewell to Yunyan until the wounds on her shoulders were scabbed and no longer affected her normal activities. Go back to the inn to continue to recuperate.
It's not that she doesn't want to stay at Yunyan's house to accompany Yunyan, the main reason is that her golden key is still in the inn, in case something happens, she has to go back and have a look.Furthermore, she was also worried that Guo Wencheng would not find her after he came down from Mingting Mountain, so she bid farewell to Yunyan and returned to the inn where she had collapsed before.
Coincidentally, she ran into Guo Wencheng at the entrance of the inn just after she returned to the inn that day.
There was a bandage on her left shoulder, so she couldn't make a clasped fist, so she just raised her right arm and waved to Guo Wencheng.
I thought it was an ordinary greeting, but when Guo Wencheng saw her, he walked over with a dark face, and punched Lin Aoxue in the face without any explanation, causing her to stagger back a few steps, with her back pressed against her. The courtyard wall outside the inn finally got a firm foothold.
Lin Aoxue was extremely surprised, her eyes widened, she leaned against the wall to stand firm, the injury on her left shoulder was stretched by the sudden punch.Lin Aoxue felt a piercing pain, and the wound must have opened again. She frowned involuntarily, with a trace of anger in her eyes, and asked in doubt and surprise:
"What are you doing?"
Guo Wencheng laughed angrily at Lin Aoxue's question. He raised his arm, glared at Lin Aoxue angrily, pointed to her nose and said:
"You still have the nerve to ask me what I'm doing, why don't you think about what you're doing?"
Lin Aoxue was confused by his words, she looked at Guo Wencheng inexplicably with a puzzled look in her eyes and asked,
"What do you mean by that?"
Guo Wencheng sneered, the disdain in his eyes was undisguised, and he said in a hateful voice:
"Lin Aoxue, I never thought you would be such an ungrateful person."
Guo Wencheng's indiscriminate accusations also made Lin Aoxue very angry. She stood up straight and helped her injured shoulder. :
"General Guo, please speak clearly, how can you be so bloody?"
Lin Aoxue deliberately raised his voice for the words General Guo.
Although Guo Wencheng's official rank is higher than hers, it doesn't mean that Lin Aoxue will endure this unreasonable reprimand. She doesn't think Guo Wencheng is such a rude person.
Guo Wencheng frowned, as if realizing that he had acted too aggressively just now, he looked at Lin Aoxue indifferently, then glanced around and said:
"This is not a place to talk, let's go back to the inn first, and I will tell you in detail, am I spitting blood!"
Guo Wencheng's face was very ugly. After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the inn without looking back, and went straight upstairs.
Lin Aoxue's eyes also became serious, she clenched her fists and snorted coldly, this matter is really inexplicable!Although she wanted to leave directly, she felt that there was something hidden in Guo Wencheng's furious attitude, so she endured the burning anger in her heart and followed Guo Wencheng into the inn.
Although Guo Wencheng had returned to the Guo family's old house, the room in the inn was not returned. He opened the door after going upstairs and let Lin Aoxue in.After Lin Aoxue entered the room, he closed the door with a click, turned his head to look at Lin Aoxue, and asked straight to the point:
"Why did you go to the spring hunting with Prince Zong? Do you know that Prince Zong has always been at odds with our general?"
Lin Aoxue frowned. What Guo Wencheng said at this time made her have some thoughts, but she didn't show her thoughts. The look in her eyes became more and more puzzled, and she asked:
"What does that have to do with me going to the spring hunt? And why do you call me ungrateful?"
Guo Wencheng saw that Lin Aoxue was not only unresponsive, but also eloquent, he was immediately angry, hating him for not fighting, raised his voice, and scolded:
"You idiot! You should never have gotten involved with the Zongqin Prince's Mansion! If the news of your friendship with the Zongqin Prince's Mansion in the capital is reported to the north, then your life in the army will be very difficult in the future. It is especially difficult, the general appreciates you and has a great favor with you, how can you act so hastily and live up to the general's expectations?!"
Guo Wencheng has already spoken clearly, even a fool can understand it.
Lin Aoxue pretended to be stunned, but her eyes showed a bit of deep thought. If the relationship between Beichenlong and Beichenhe was just a bad relationship, Guo Wencheng would not be so angry. Besides, Lin Aoxue had rescued Beichen before. Ling, who has an ambiguous relationship with the clan prince's mansion, was invited by Bei Chenhe to participate in the spring hunting, and it was not very out of bounds.
It can be seen from this that the relationship between Beichenhe and Beichenlong may have been like fire and water for a long time, and any disturbance in the wind can make people vigilant and have countless guesses in their hearts.
The anger in Lin Aoxue's heart dissipated, and she also understood that Guo Wencheng was worrying for her, lest she would suffer because of this incident, and be targeted by Bei Chenlong after returning to the northern border.It was only because of his rude and irritable behavior that he hurt Lin Aoxue by mistake.
Lin Aoxue is not a person who doesn't know good and bad. After Guo Wencheng finished speaking, she immediately loosened her clenched fists, lowered her eyes, and expressed her apology seriously and respectfully:
"It's the subordinate's negligence."
It is true that she did not handle this matter well, and her judgment was still affected by hatred. During this time, she was a little eager for quick success.
This is not good, you have to take it easy.
Guo Wencheng saw that Lin Aoxue had finally put away her stubborn face and still showed the same respect and humility as before, so he breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, and said to her in a slow voice:
"I also made mistakes in today's matter. I was too impatient, and my words were a bit heavy, but I hope you can understand."
Lin Aoxue glanced at Guo Wencheng's hand on her left shoulder, feeling helpless and speechless, she frowned slightly, resisted the pain and nodded, expressing her understanding of Guo Wencheng's anger:
"What's wrong with General Guo's suggestion to his subordinates? The subordinates will definitely pay more attention to these places in the future."
Guo Wencheng was very pleased with Lin Aoxue's understanding of current affairs. He wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly he was taken aback when he saw bloodstains on Lin Aoxue's shoulders that quickly stained the clothes on her shoulders red.
Guo Wencheng's expression changed suddenly, and he said anxiously:
"What's wrong with your injury?"
Lin Aoxue grinned, moved her shoulder tentatively, felt that the pain was not too severe, and then she was relieved, and replied:
"While hunting in the mountains, I fought with that beast and was bitten."
Guo Wencheng didn't feel relieved because of Lin Aoxue's words, he was still frowning, and the expression on his face became more and more anxious:
"There's a lot of blood, how could it hurt so badly?"
That day in the besieged city in Mingting Mountain, the third prince was shot by an arrow, and Lin Aoxue was imprisoned in the dungeon because of his lack of protection. It's light, it can't help much, and if you speak rashly, it will hurt yourself, so you don't know the details of what happened.
Later, he heard that the prince of the clan, Beichenhe, and his daughter, Beichenling, both went to the emperor to confess their love to Lin Aoxue, so Lin Aoxue was released, and Beichenling took him to Mingting Mountain. Therefore, Guo Wencheng felt that Lin Aoxue and the clan's prince's mansion were gone. Too close, this time so angry.
After a while, the emperor released the seal on the paddock and allowed the ministers to leave Mingting Mountain. Guo Wencheng then found an opportunity to come to Lin Aoxue and talk to her about it.
Lin Aoxue swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and waved her hands:
"The injury has healed up a lot. It's nothing serious. General Guo doesn't have to worry about it."
Guo Wencheng saw that Lin Aoxue's entire left shoulder was stained red, and his expression was extremely ugly.
He didn't know that Lin Aoxue had suffered such a serious injury. The punch just now was so powerful that she didn't stop at all. Went to clap two hands again.
Seeing more and more blood on Lin Aoxue's shoulder, Guo Wencheng panicked. He regretted and felt guilty and slapped his thigh hard, and said anxiously:
"Just wait, I'll find a doctor for you!"
As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Lin Aoxue grabbed him and persuaded him dumbfounded:
"It's really not a serious problem. When I first came down from the mountain, the injury was much more serious than it is now. General Guo doesn't need to be so anxious."
Guo Wencheng was skeptical, but the blood had already stained Lin Aoxue's entire shoulders scarlet, which made Guo Wencheng's back shiver.Seeing that Lin Aoxue was struggling to let him go to the doctor, he shuddered and said hesitantly:
"It's not okay to go on like this, or you'd better take off your clothes first and see how the injury is."
Lin Aoxue nodded, turned around and quickly opened the door, and then hurried back to her room.Guo Wencheng wiped the sweat off his face on the spot, muttering to himself:
"This kid is really awkward. He has been injured like this, and he still cares about these etiquette."
He thought that Lin Aoxue didn't directly check the injuries in his room because of politeness.
After Lin Aoxue returned to her room, she first locked the door to prevent others from intruding rashly, and then took off her clothes.
The bandage on her shoulder was completely soaked in blood. She sighed and quickly took off the gauze on her shoulder. After making mental preparations, Lin Aoxue couldn't help but gasped.
Even though the situation in front of her was much better than when she first descended Mingting Mountain, the wound was still very hideous. She sighed, took out a brand new gauze from her bag, treated the wound briefly, bandaged it up, and changed it again. Dressed up, he planned to go back to Yunyan's small house again.
If this injury is allowed to drag on by itself, I don't know when it will be healed, and I still have to ask Yun Yan to get her some medicine.
Before leaving, she checked the golden key hidden in the wooden box by herself, and after confirming that no one had tampered with it, she put it back where it was, opened the door and went out, and Guo Wencheng informed, saying that he went out to find the doctor to get some medicine, and then left the inn.
When Yunyan saw the cracked wound on Lin Aoxue's shoulder again, she was very angry, and unceremoniously knocked Lin Aoxue's head hard, and said bitterly:
"Why are you so careless? Why did it happen again? Didn't I tell you not to move this arm casually after you go back? Do you still think about it?"
This time Lin Aoxue was quite innocent. She curled her eyebrows helplessly, showing a pitiful expression, and carefully retorted:
"This time it's really not my fault."
Yun Yan squinted at her, raised her eyebrows and hummed:
"Then tell me what's going on?"
Lin Aoxue let out a long sigh and began to perform vividly.
She told Yun Yan about the dispute between the two of them when she met Guo Wencheng at the inn today. She didn't go into great detail about the specific content of the words, but simply stated that Guo Wencheng was angry because of a misunderstanding and impulsively hit him. He punched her and patted her on the shoulder blankly, that's why the wound was so severe.
Yun Yan felt very helpless about this, but when she knew that Lin Aoxue did not disobey her, and also obediently came to her at the first time, she still felt a little relieved, so she did not continue to reprimand Lin Aoxue, but was attentive and serious For Lin Aoxue, the wound was re-bandaged with medicine.
As the time approached noon, Lin Aoxue simply stayed in Yunyan's house for lunch, and then took a nap before leaving.
After she returned to the inn, she read a book in the room for a while, when someone knocked on the door suddenly, Lin Aoxue raised her head, who would come to her at this time?
She got up and walked over to open the door.
But he saw a person standing outside the house, he had never seen him before, not Guo Wencheng, nor Bei Chenhe's attendant.
There was a puzzled look in her eyes, she looked at that person, before asking him, come and listen to her take the initiative to speak
"Lin Qianhu, the Princess is here to invite you."
Lin Aoxue opened her mouth slightly, with a very surprised expression on her face, she never thought that it would be someone from Bei Chenling who came to her this time.
But soon, she put away her surprised expression, and quietly covered up the indifference in her eyes, and nodded to the man with a natural expression:
"Your Excellency, please lead the way."
Lin Aoxue followed this person out of the inn, and her destination was very clear, it was still the clan prince's mansion.
It's just that the person she came to meet this time was not Bei Chenhe, but Bei Chenling.
There were no major changes in the palace. After the beginning of spring, the climate became warmer and the flowers and plants in the courtyard of the palace began to grow, giving it a bit of greenery.
Lin Aoxue turned left and right with that person. After walking for a long time, the road under her feet was very familiar. Even after 13 years, she still remembered it clearly.
She walked into the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard wall. Under the pear tree on the east side, Bei Chenling held a book in her hand and was studying it carefully. She didn't lift it until the footsteps of Lin Aoxue and her attendants trampled on the withered grass in the courtyard. When he started, his eyes met Lin Aoxue's from afar.
"Lin Qianhu."
It was Bei Chenling who spoke first.
"Lin Aoxue has met Her Majesty the Princess."
Lin Aoxue bowed her head and bowed in a polite manner.
Bei Chenling signaled Lin Aoxue to get up, and then waved his hand to let the attendant who led the way go down temporarily, then looked at Lin Aoxue, and asked actively:
"How is the injury on Lin Qianhu's shoulder?"
"Thanks to His Highness's concern, I have recovered a lot."
Lin Aoxue's answer was formal and rigid, and Bei Chenling couldn't hear her true thoughts from her tone.She put down the book in her hand and said again:
"Thank you to Lin Qianhu for helping me that day, and I feel really guilty for causing Qianhu to suffer."
Lin Aoxue lowered her brows and eyes slightly, but her expression was still very respectful:
"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this. The situation is critical at this time and that time. Your Highness is a body of gold, and what your subordinates do is a matter of their own."
Bei Chenling's gaze was fixed on Lin Aoxue's face all the time. Seeing that the latter remained calm from beginning to end, his face was neither happy nor angry, and the emotions in his heart were not revealed at all. For some reason, she actually felt somewhat lost and regretful.
Lin Aoxue put on a mask on her face, hiding the burnt scar, only revealing the other half. Her eyes were very deep, hiding all her thoughts and emotions without revealing anything.
Lin Aoxue, who is sober at this time, looks a little more vigorous than she did a few days ago, and she also lacks the tenderness when she was sick and weak. There is a sinister aura floating around her body. The deceptive imposing manner, ignoring her own delicate appearance, let the half mask frighten her mind.
"Are you going to keep talking to me like this?"
Bei Chenling's eyes were a bit complicated, her eyes were glued to Lin Aoxue's half face that resembled her old friend, and she asked helplessly.
Lin Aoxue raised her head, her expression indifferent:
"Otherwise, what does the princess think should be done?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Aoxue questioned her, and the melancholy in Bei Chenling's heart disappeared completely. She shook her head and smiled. She didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh at Lin Aoxue's lack of self-knowledge:
"Do you think your life is too long for you to attack this princess with such an attitude?"
This time they met, Bei Chenling always referred to herself as "I", perhaps subconsciously, wanting to get closer to each other, but Lin Aoxue kept reminding her that there is a difference between superiority and inferiority.
Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue knelt on the ground on one knee, forced to suppress the unceasing hatred in her heart, and tried her best to keep calm and said:
"Your Highness has a kind heart, and I am very grateful for keeping the secret for you. But I am very puzzled by what the princess said, and I hope your Highness will express it clearly."
Bei Chenling looked at her silently, not sure if she really didn't understand or pretended not to understand.
After a while, she withdrew her gaze, hesitated again, and said:
"Since I've decided to keep you, I won't make it difficult for you. You don't have to be so cautious. Get up."
Lin Aoxue got up as she said, and stood aside with her head bowed.
Seeing her being so silent, Bei Chenling felt an inexplicable fire in her heart. She knew that Lin Aoxue had always had such a temperament. will make a sound.
But Bei Chenling felt angry at this moment, her brows stood on end, and she asked coldly:
"Aren't you curious why the princess asked you to come here?"
Lin Aoxue is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water:
"When Your Highness wants to speak, he will speak."
Bei Chenling hated Lin Aoxue's stubborn appearance very much. Although Lin Aoxue was kind to her, she also saved Lin Aoxue this time.
If you have to count, Lin Aoxue rescued her twice, she brought Lin Aoxue down from Mingting Mountain, and found Yunyan to treat Lin Aoxue's wounds, and even concealed the secret of her womanhood for her, they have long since owed each other.
"Lin Aoxue, this princess advises you to be aware of current affairs!"
Bei Chenling slapped the desk, trembling with anger, but even she herself didn't understand why she was so angry.
Lin Aoxue looked puzzled, she even wondered in her heart whether she had bumped into some god when she went out, why every time she saw someone today, she would get angry at her, and she still couldn't figure out the situation at all, it was a disaster, a natural disaster.
"I also ask the princess to calm down."
Besides, she didn't know what to say, and how to persuade this moody princess.
When Bei Chenling slammed the table, she was already aware of her gaffe. She frowned, took two breaths of cold air, closed her eyes helplessly, and eased her tone:
"Forget it, the princess is in a bad mood today, you can sit with the princess for a while."
Lin Aoxue was still confused, she glanced at the stone bench beside Bei Chenling, and said:
"Your Highness, there is a difference between honor and inferiority, it's better to just stand here."
Bei Chenling stared, her anger rose again, and she couldn't help raising her voice:
"If I let you sit, you can sit, how can there be so many words!"
Lin Aoxue's eyelids trembled, she really wanted to refute that she had said very little, but she still didn't show her inner resistance, instead she sat down respectfully beside Bei Chenling, with her hands on her knees, sitting upright.
Bei Chenling glanced at her again, and now she felt much more pleasing to the eye.
After letting Lin Aoxue sit down, she didn't speak any more, but lowered her head, opened the book in her hand, continued to study the contents of the book, and left Lin Aoxue completely aside.
Lin Aoxue sat for two whole hours, the sun turned from the top of her head to the halfway up the mountain, the temperature hadn't fully warmed up, and when the sun went dark, it immediately became a little cold.
A gust of wind blew, and Bei Chenling felt the coolness, closed the book, and turned to look at Lin Aoxue, the latter still kept his face tight, his back straight, and he didn't move for two hours.
Bei Chenling suddenly felt that she was going too far.
She didn't understand why she was so self-willed today, but Lin Aoxue's stubborn temper was really irritating, she even had this character so similar to her old friend in childhood, it was a stinky temper that eight cows could not bring back.
Bei Chenling put down the book in her hand and cleared her throat:
"You can go back."
Lin Aoxue blinked with a straight face, then stood up, bowed respectfully and left.
Bei Chenling watched her walking steadily towards the gate of the courtyard, and sighed heavily in her heart. There was a voice deep in her heart asking her all the time, asking her to deal with Lin Aoxue more rationally.
But as long as she had the idea that Lin Aoxue and her old friend looked like this, when she saw Lin Aoxue again, she felt that they looked a little more alike. She even wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes or something in her heart that made her so uncontrollable .
Or maybe it's because the memory is too long, the impression of the person who she thought she would never forget in her life has gradually faded, and even the appearance of that person has become blurred.
Seeing Lin Aoxue who was similar to her, she subconsciously placed Lin Aoxue's appearance on the face of the person whose memory was blank, imagining whether that person would look like this when he grew up and matured.
Bei Chenling smiled and shook her head, feeling the coolness in the wind was getting worse, she tightened her skirt a little, and planned to get up and go back to the house.
But at this moment, Lin Aoxue's voice came from outside the courtyard again. This was the first time Lin Aoxue took the initiative to speak to her today, and the words she asked were the questions she expected:
"I would like to have the courage to ask Your Highness, why is Your Highness willing to hide your identity for this?"
Bei Chenling raised her head and looked towards the courtyard gate. Lin Aoxue had already turned around, standing inside the gate with a long body, and hadn't left yet.
It's really similar, maybe when Ah Xue talks to her like this, it's the same way.
Bei Chenling thought silently in her heart, then she pursed her lips, tilted her head and smiled, her smile was magnanimous, and she did not hide anything about the reason:
"Because you look like an old friend of mine."
Because of Lin Aoxue's appearance, she actually regained a trace of peace of mind that she had only had many years ago. Although this could not reduce the remorse and guilt deep in her heart, at least her mood at this moment was rarely relaxed.
This reason was not beyond Lin Aoxue's expectation, but it made her heart feel a sharp pain while slowly relaxing.
Since the reunion on the streets of the capital that day, Bei Chenling's every move was too strange.
And what she saw today opened Lin Aoxue's horizon even more, it was unimaginable.
She found that she couldn't figure out what Bei Chenling was thinking and what she would do next moment. Bei Chenling's mind was not so deep as the sea, but as changing as the wind.
After getting the exact answer, Lin Aoxue didn't bother anymore. She bowed her head and bowed respectfully to Bei Chenling, then turned around and left quickly.
It wasn't until Lin Aoxue's back completely disappeared outside the courtyard gate that the smile on Bei Chenling's face gradually faded away, showing a little melancholy and sadness instead.
"Axue, even if this person just looks like you, I still feel guilty."
She muttered to herself, her white jade-like five fingers gently rubbed the rough pages of the book, wrinkling the feet of the book unconsciously.
"Your Highness."
A black shadow jumped down from the beam and knelt respectfully at Bei Chenling's feet.
The next moment, the shattered sorrow on Bei Chenling's face was silently suppressed. When she opened her eyes again, the fragility and softness in those light-colored pupils quietly dissipated, and instead projected an extremely sharp brilliance, and her tone of voice lost its original shape. Some temperature, coldly speak:
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Hei Ying knelt down on the ground and truthfully reported the news he had investigated:
"The men who assassinated Prince Zong on New Year's Eve seem to be related to the former Ministry of Duke Yuan Zhen."
When Bei Chenling heard the words, his eyes darkened.
General Zhen Guo is the father of A Xue.
Because of their status as the daughters of Prince Lingzong of Beichen, a large part of the old men who were loyal to Duke Zhen refused to listen to her solicitation. They acted secretly, which not only easily exposed their identities, but also indirectly disturbed the public. Her plan is really a headache.

Early the next morning, Yunyan came with the wound medicine. Seeing Lin Aoxue's haggard look and lack of energy, she couldn't help feeling a little worried, and asked with concern:
"Is the shoulder injury too painful? I will prescribe some painkillers with you today."
As she spoke, she placed the tray on the bedside, which contained wound medicine for bandaging, decoction for internal use, and a bowl of rice porridge.Yun Yan approached the bed, wanting to check on Lin Aoxue's injury again, but the latter subconsciously turned her head to avoid Yun Yan's gaze.
Yun Yan was stunned for a moment, her hand movements also stopped, she was suspended in the air, her eyes showed a puzzled expression, she was puzzled by Lin Aoxue's sudden resistance.And when she was thinking about the reason in her heart, the next moment, Lin Aoxue turned her head again, the expression on her face didn't seem to have much ups and downs, but Yun Yan felt a slight disobedience.
Lin Aoxue's eyelids drooped slightly. In order to conceal the momentary gaffe just now, she pursed her lips tightly, with a hesitant expression on her face, and said softly:
"Will the injury on my arm still heal?"
Yun Yan looked into her eyes, felt the confusion revealed in those eyes, she felt a little distressed, the uneasiness just now was quickly suppressed, she leaned towards Lin Aoxue involuntarily, her hands gently pressed against Lin Aoxue's arms, warm Soothe her emotions:
"I will do my best to bring you back to normal."
Lin Aoxue raised her head, looked at Yun Yan, and then lowered her gaze, her mood was very contradictory and complicated.Whenever she looked at Yunyan, she would think of what Yunyan said to her yesterday. She didn't want to put the worst possibility on them, but she couldn't restrain the heaviness and sadness rising from the bottom of her heart.
She wants to believe Yunyan, Yunyan has saved her life several times, and also kept the most important secret for her, but Yunyan is Bei Chenling's person.At this moment, if Lin Aoxue still felt that the golden key she hadn't found had nothing to do with the one Sui Liang gave her, then she was deceiving herself.
Compared with her own position, Yunyan is more likely to be on the opposite side of her.
Realizing the truth, Lin Aoxue was very depressed.
But she understands that she can't express these emotions, and can't let Yunyan notice her strangeness. She has to adjust her mood as quickly as possible and bury all the hidden dangers that may destroy the current friendly relationship between them in her heart.
She believed that Yunyan had no other purpose in approaching her, but at this moment she couldn't guarantee that she still had no bad intentions in going forward.
If Yunyan hadn't been so kind to her, and didn't make her feel the warmth that has been missing for more than ten years, then when she knew that there was a connection between Yunyan and Beichenling, she wouldn't be so regretful, and it just so happened that she could take advantage of this opportunity Through Yunyan, she can gain a deeper understanding of Beichenling and the Zongqin Palace.
But Lin Aoxue, who had felt the goodness of Yunyan, was greedy in her heart, unwilling to give up this warmth, but at this moment, she was unable to impose this unpredictable intention on Yunyan.
Now that she knew about the relationship between Yunyan and Bei Chenling, apart from the helpless sigh and pain in her heart, she had no intention of using Yunyan at all.
Yunyan bowed her head by her side, her gaze was warm and gentle, and her movements were gentle and careful to treat her wound and replace the wound medicine. Because Lin Aoxue's left shoulder could not move at all, Yunyan still poured the boiled soup and rice porridge like yesterday. Feed her drink spoon by spoon.
Lin Aoxue stared at Yun Yan's face, her heart dropped again and again, as if she was silent in an abyss.
The time seemed to be extremely short, and before she could figure out how to deal with her tangled, restless, and restless emotions, the bowl of rice porridge had already bottomed out.Yunyan put away the bowl, told Lin Aoxue to rest well, and just like last night, she didn't say much, and turned to leave.
"Smoke."
Lin Aoxue suddenly called out Yun Yan.
Yun Yan stopped, turned her head to look at her, her eyes were as gentle as ever, but Lin Aoxue clenched her fists involuntarily.She knew that no matter how she tried to hide it, her strange emotions were still infected with Yun Yan. Whether it was last night or this time, compared to the past, Yun Yan seemed too silent.
It was because of the uneasiness and resistance in her heart that hurt Yunyan, even though Yunyan didn't show it, she knew it clearly.
This is not the result she wants to see, even if one day in the future, she and Yun Yan may be forced to confront each other due to helplessness, but at least at this time, they should not hurt each other.
Besides, Yunyan had her own unavoidable difficulties. As early as the beginning, she knew that she should be more open-minded.
Lin Aoxue's mind was ups and downs, entangled endlessly, and when Yun Yan looked at her with puzzled eyes, she finally spoke:
"Yan'er, I want to talk to you."
When Yunyan heard this, a flash of surprise flashed across her face, and then she smiled slightly at Lin Aoxue. She put down the bowl in her hand, walked slowly to the side of the bed, took a chair and sat down, and supported it with her hands. Then the brain said:
"What do you want to say to me?"
She was calm and composed, not different from usual.
Lin Aoxue took a deep breath and felt a thin layer of sweat forming on her back. She stopped Yunyan just now because the turbulent emotions in her heart were too turbulent and impulsive, but now Yunyan sat down seriously, and she I suddenly became nervous and didn't know what to say.
Yun Yan was not in a hurry, nor did she urge her, she kept quiet, with a warm smile in her eyes, soothing Lin Aoxue's restless mood.
After a while, Lin Aoxue, who had been struggling for a long time, finally spoke:
"Will you go back to the north in the future?"
She had been brewing emotions for a long time, but she only asked this sentence.
Yun Yan still looked at her with a smile, her eyes were very gentle:
"What I have told you, I will naturally practice. Besides, I still prefer the life in the northern border to the capital."
Her warm and pleasant voice made Lin Aoxue's tense heart relax a little.
"Will the Princess agree with you to go back?"
Lin Aoxue thought that all of this was arranged by Bei Chenling. As Bei Chenling's subordinate, Yunyan had to obey Beichenling's words. If Beichenling refused, Yunyan would not be able to leave the capital.
Yun Yan laughed when she heard this, and said softly:
"I have the value for her to keep me in the capital, and I also have the value for her to allow me to go to the north. As long as I can bring enough benefits to achieve her goal, I have the right to do what I want things."
Lin Aoxue couldn't refute Yun Yan's words, but she looked at Yun Yan even more silently.
She pursed her lips tightly, with overwhelming emotions in her heart, obviously the person in front of her was smiling, Yun Yan was gentle and magnanimous, Lin Aoxue pretended to be strong, but there was a hint of forbearance hidden in her heart:
"If one day there is a conflict between you and me, and my position is contrary to your value, can we still maintain our current relationship? Can we continue to be friends?"
Lin Aoxue was in a very anxious mood, she knew she shouldn't say so much, misfortune came out of her mouth, and most of the variables came from inadvertent words, but she couldn't restrain the restlessness in her heart, and kept bewitching her, making her want to Get closer, get closer to Yunyan.
Lin Aoxue felt apprehensive about the possible differences in the future, even turning against each other, and the inescapable confrontation between the two of them. She wanted to hear Yunyan's answer.
Yunyan is an extremely sensitive person, since she has been able to get to her current position and gained Bei Chenling's trust, then she has something special about her.When Lin Aoxue uttered these words, the emotions revealed in her eyes were all within Yunyan's control.
Although she didn't know about the grievances between Lin Aoxue and the clan prince's mansion, she could guess eight out of ten other reasons. Yunyan guessed that the root cause of Lin Aoxue's anxiety was probably Because Lin Aoxue is a soldier in the northern border, she obeys Bei Chenlong's orders.
There is no doubt that the relationship between Bei Chenlong and the prince of the clan, Bei Chenhe, is hostile. This makes Lin Aoxue feel fear in her heart, lest there will be a rift with Yunyan.
Having figured this out, Yunyan didn't have this concern, on the contrary, she was a little happy, it was the joy that emerged from the bottom of her heart, she was happy that Lin Aoxue also cherished the rare fate between them, so she expressed it naturally Now on her face.
She wasn't flustered or anxious, she just smiled at Lin Aoxue and said:
"Whether the relationship between us is harmonious, whether we cherish each other, what does it have to do with our positions and the people we are loyal to?"
Lin Aoxue was taken aback when she heard the words, a dull expression appeared on her face, after a while, the dim eyes revealed light little by little from inside, the corners of her lips moved slightly, revealing a smile, there was something unknown in her eyes Ming's emotions were surging, almost pouring out of his eyes like water.
She stared at Yun Yan with such concentration that she was not willing to move away for a moment.
"Yan'er, you are really smart."
Lin Aoxue said in admiration, and at the same time laughed heartily.Yun Yan saw that she had finally put down the complicated melancholy in her heart, and the worries in her heart dissipated. Seeing Lin Aoxue was relieved and smiling happily, she couldn't help stretching out her hand, rubbing Lin Aoxue's head, and said with a smile:
"You didn't rest well last night, now lie down and sleep for a while."
Lin Aoxue nodded obediently, and with Yunyan's help, she lay down obediently. Today, the wound medicine Yunyan changed for her increased the dose of analgesic medicine. Lin Aoxue's injured shoulder was numb and numb, and the pain was not so strong.After she lay down, because she let go of her heavy thoughts, she soon felt sleepy and fell asleep with her eyes closed.
Yun Yan stayed by Lin Aoxue's side all the time, and only after she was fully asleep did she look at her sleeping face tenderly, and then reached out to tuck the corner of the quilt for her, and then went out with two bowls.
After the conversation that day, Lin Aoxue's mood improved obviously. She continued to stay in Yunyan's mansion to recuperate with peace of mind. She didn't bid farewell to Yunyan until the wounds on her shoulders were scabbed and no longer affected her normal activities. Go back to the inn to continue to recuperate.
It's not that she doesn't want to stay at Yunyan's house to accompany Yunyan, the main reason is that her golden key is still in the inn, in case something happens, she has to go back and have a look.Furthermore, she was also worried that Guo Wencheng would not find her after he came down from Mingting Mountain, so she bid farewell to Yunyan and returned to the inn where she had collapsed before.
Coincidentally, she ran into Guo Wencheng at the entrance of the inn just after she returned to the inn that day.
There was a bandage on her left shoulder, so she couldn't make a clasped fist, so she just raised her right arm and waved to Guo Wencheng.
I thought it was an ordinary greeting, but when Guo Wencheng saw her, he walked over with a dark face, and punched Lin Aoxue in the face without any explanation, causing her to stagger back a few steps, with her back pressed against her. The courtyard wall outside the inn finally got a firm foothold.
Lin Aoxue was extremely surprised, her eyes widened, she leaned against the wall to stand firm, the injury on her left shoulder was stretched by the sudden punch.Lin Aoxue felt a piercing pain, and the wound must have opened again. She frowned involuntarily, with a trace of anger in her eyes, and asked in doubt and surprise:
"What are you doing?"
Guo Wencheng laughed angrily at Lin Aoxue's question. He raised his arm, glared at Lin Aoxue angrily, pointed to her nose and said:
"You still have the nerve to ask me what I'm doing, why don't you think about what you're doing?"
Lin Aoxue was confused by his words, she looked at Guo Wencheng inexplicably with a puzzled look in her eyes and asked,
"What do you mean by that?"
Guo Wencheng sneered, the disdain in his eyes was undisguised, and he said in a hateful voice:
"Lin Aoxue, I never thought you would be such an ungrateful person."
Guo Wencheng's indiscriminate accusations also made Lin Aoxue very angry. She stood up straight and helped her injured shoulder. :
"General Guo, please speak clearly, how can you be so bloody?"
Lin Aoxue deliberately raised his voice for the words General Guo.
Although Guo Wencheng's official rank is higher than hers, it doesn't mean that Lin Aoxue will endure this unreasonable reprimand. She doesn't think Guo Wencheng is such a rude person.
Guo Wencheng frowned, as if realizing that he had acted too aggressively just now, he looked at Lin Aoxue indifferently, then glanced around and said:
"This is not a place to talk, let's go back to the inn first, and I will tell you in detail, am I spitting blood!"
Guo Wencheng's face was very ugly. After saying this, he turned around and walked towards the inn without looking back, and went straight upstairs.
Lin Aoxue's eyes also became serious, she clenched her fists and snorted coldly, this matter is really inexplicable!Although she wanted to leave directly, she felt that there was something hidden in Guo Wencheng's furious attitude, so she endured the burning anger in her heart and followed Guo Wencheng into the inn.
Although Guo Wencheng had returned to the Guo family's old house, the room in the inn was not returned. He opened the door after going upstairs and let Lin Aoxue in.After Lin Aoxue entered the room, he closed the door with a click, turned his head to look at Lin Aoxue, and asked straight to the point:
"Why did you go to the spring hunting with Prince Zong? Do you know that Prince Zong has always been at odds with our general?"
Lin Aoxue frowned. What Guo Wencheng said at this time made her have some thoughts, but she didn't show her thoughts. The look in her eyes became more and more puzzled, and she asked:
"What does that have to do with me going to the spring hunt? And why do you call me ungrateful?"
Guo Wencheng saw that Lin Aoxue was not only unresponsive, but also eloquent, he was immediately angry, hating him for not fighting, raised his voice, and scolded:
"You idiot! You should never have gotten involved with the Zongqin Prince's Mansion! If the news of your friendship with the Zongqin Prince's Mansion in the capital is reported to the north, then your life in the army will be very difficult in the future. It is especially difficult, the general appreciates you and has a great favor with you, how can you act so hastily and live up to the general's expectations?!"
Guo Wencheng has already spoken clearly, even a fool can understand it.
Lin Aoxue pretended to be stunned, but her eyes showed a bit of deep thought. If the relationship between Beichenlong and Beichenhe was just a bad relationship, Guo Wencheng would not be so angry. Besides, Lin Aoxue had rescued Beichen before. Ling, who has an ambiguous relationship with the clan prince's mansion, was invited by Bei Chenhe to participate in the spring hunting, and it was not very out of bounds.
It can be seen from this that the relationship between Beichenhe and Beichenlong may have been like fire and water for a long time, and any disturbance in the wind can make people vigilant and have countless guesses in their hearts.
The anger in Lin Aoxue's heart dissipated, and she also understood that Guo Wencheng was worrying for her, lest she would suffer because of this incident, and be targeted by Bei Chenlong after returning to the northern border.It was only because of his rude and irritable behavior that he hurt Lin Aoxue by mistake.
Lin Aoxue is not a person who doesn't know good and bad. After Guo Wencheng finished speaking, she immediately loosened her clenched fists, lowered her eyes, and expressed her apology seriously and respectfully:
"It's the subordinate's negligence."
It is true that she did not handle this matter well, and her judgment was still affected by hatred. During this time, she was a little eager for quick success.
This is not good, you have to take it easy.
Guo Wencheng saw that Lin Aoxue had finally put away her stubborn face and still showed the same respect and humility as before, so he breathed a sigh of relief, stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, and said to her in a slow voice:
"I also made mistakes in today's matter. I was too impatient, and my words were a bit heavy, but I hope you can understand."
Lin Aoxue glanced at Guo Wencheng's hand on her left shoulder, feeling helpless and speechless, she frowned slightly, resisted the pain and nodded, expressing her understanding of Guo Wencheng's anger:
"What's wrong with General Guo's suggestion to his subordinates? The subordinates will definitely pay more attention to these places in the future."
Guo Wencheng was very pleased with Lin Aoxue's understanding of current affairs. He wanted to say a few more words, but suddenly he was taken aback when he saw bloodstains on Lin Aoxue's shoulders that quickly stained the clothes on her shoulders red.
Guo Wencheng's expression changed suddenly, and he said anxiously:
"What's wrong with your injury?"
Lin Aoxue grinned, moved her shoulder tentatively, felt that the pain was not too severe, and then she was relieved, and replied:
"While hunting in the mountains, I fought with that beast and was bitten."
Guo Wencheng didn't feel relieved because of Lin Aoxue's words, he was still frowning, and the expression on his face became more and more anxious:
"There's a lot of blood, how could it hurt so badly?"
That day in the besieged city in Mingting Mountain, the third prince was shot by an arrow, and Lin Aoxue was imprisoned in the dungeon because of his lack of protection. It's light, it can't help much, and if you speak rashly, it will hurt yourself, so you don't know the details of what happened.
Later, he heard that the prince of the clan, Beichenhe, and his daughter, Beichenling, both went to the emperor to confess their love to Lin Aoxue, so Lin Aoxue was released, and Beichenling took him to Mingting Mountain. Therefore, Guo Wencheng felt that Lin Aoxue and the clan's prince's mansion were gone. Too close, this time so angry.
After a while, the emperor released the seal on the paddock and allowed the ministers to leave Mingting Mountain. Guo Wencheng then found an opportunity to come to Lin Aoxue and talk to her about it.
Lin Aoxue swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and waved her hands:
"The injury has healed up a lot. It's nothing serious. General Guo doesn't have to worry about it."
Guo Wencheng saw that Lin Aoxue's entire left shoulder was stained red, and his expression was extremely ugly.
He didn't know that Lin Aoxue had suffered such a serious injury. The punch just now was so powerful that she didn't stop at all. Went to clap two hands again.
Seeing more and more blood on Lin Aoxue's shoulder, Guo Wencheng panicked. He regretted and felt guilty and slapped his thigh hard, and said anxiously:
"Just wait, I'll find a doctor for you!"
As he said that, he turned around and was about to leave, but Lin Aoxue grabbed him and persuaded him dumbfounded:
"It's really not a serious problem. When I first came down from the mountain, the injury was much more serious than it is now. General Guo doesn't need to be so anxious."
Guo Wencheng was skeptical, but the blood had already stained Lin Aoxue's entire shoulders scarlet, which made Guo Wencheng's back shiver.Seeing that Lin Aoxue was struggling to let him go to the doctor, he shuddered and said hesitantly:
"It's not okay to go on like this, or you'd better take off your clothes first and see how the injury is."
Lin Aoxue nodded, turned around and quickly opened the door, and then hurried back to her room.Guo Wencheng wiped the sweat off his face on the spot, muttering to himself:
"This kid is really awkward. He has been injured like this, and he still cares about these etiquette."
He thought that Lin Aoxue didn't directly check the injuries in his room because of politeness.
After Lin Aoxue returned to her room, she first locked the door to prevent others from intruding rashly, and then took off her clothes.
The bandage on her shoulder was completely soaked in blood. She sighed and quickly took off the gauze on her shoulder. After making mental preparations, Lin Aoxue couldn't help but gasped.
Even though the situation in front of her was much better than when she first descended Mingting Mountain, the wound was still very hideous. She sighed, took out a brand new gauze from her bag, treated the wound briefly, bandaged it up, and changed it again. Dressed up, he planned to go back to Yunyan's small house again.
If this injury is allowed to drag on by itself, I don't know when it will be healed, and I still have to ask Yun Yan to get her some medicine.
Before leaving, she checked the golden key hidden in the wooden box by herself, and after confirming that no one had tampered with it, she put it back where it was, opened the door and went out, and Guo Wencheng informed, saying that he went out to find the doctor to get some medicine, and then left the inn.
When Yunyan saw the cracked wound on Lin Aoxue's shoulder again, she was very angry, and unceremoniously knocked Lin Aoxue's head hard, and said bitterly:
"Why are you so careless? Why did it happen again? Didn't I tell you not to move this arm casually after you go back? Do you still think about it?"
This time Lin Aoxue was quite innocent. She curled her eyebrows helplessly, showing a pitiful expression, and carefully retorted:
"This time it's really not my fault."
Yun Yan squinted at her, raised her eyebrows and hummed:
"Then tell me what's going on?"
Lin Aoxue let out a long sigh and began to perform vividly.
She told Yun Yan about the dispute between the two of them when she met Guo Wencheng at the inn today. She didn't go into great detail about the specific content of the words, but simply stated that Guo Wencheng was angry because of a misunderstanding and impulsively hit him. He punched her and patted her on the shoulder blankly, that's why the wound was so severe.
Yun Yan felt very helpless about this, but when she knew that Lin Aoxue did not disobey her, and also obediently came to her at the first time, she still felt a little relieved, so she did not continue to reprimand Lin Aoxue, but was attentive and serious For Lin Aoxue, the wound was re-bandaged with medicine.
As the time approached noon, Lin Aoxue simply stayed in Yunyan's house for lunch, and then took a nap before leaving.
After she returned to the inn, she read a book in the room for a while, when someone knocked on the door suddenly, Lin Aoxue raised her head, who would come to her at this time?
She got up and walked over to open the door.
But he saw a person standing outside the house, he had never seen him before, not Guo Wencheng, nor Bei Chenhe's attendant.
There was a puzzled look in her eyes, she looked at that person, before asking him, come and listen to her take the initiative to speak
"Lin Qianhu, the Princess is here to invite you."
Lin Aoxue opened her mouth slightly, with a very surprised expression on her face, she never thought that it would be someone from Bei Chenling who came to her this time.
But soon, she put away her surprised expression, and quietly covered up the indifference in her eyes, and nodded to the man with a natural expression:
"Your Excellency, please lead the way."
Lin Aoxue followed this person out of the inn, and her destination was very clear, it was still the clan prince's mansion.
It's just that the person she came to meet this time was not Bei Chenhe, but Bei Chenling.
There were no major changes in the palace. After the beginning of spring, the climate became warmer and the flowers and plants in the courtyard of the palace began to grow, giving it a bit of greenery.
Lin Aoxue turned left and right with that person. After walking for a long time, the road under her feet was very familiar. Even after 13 years, she still remembered it clearly.
She walked into the familiar yet unfamiliar courtyard wall. Under the pear tree on the east side, Bei Chenling held a book in her hand and was studying it carefully. She didn't lift it until the footsteps of Lin Aoxue and her attendants trampled on the withered grass in the courtyard. When he started, his eyes met Lin Aoxue's from afar.
"Lin Qianhu."
It was Bei Chenling who spoke first.
"Lin Aoxue has met Her Majesty the Princess."
Lin Aoxue bowed her head and bowed in a polite manner.
Bei Chenling signaled Lin Aoxue to get up, and then waved his hand to let the attendant who led the way go down temporarily, then looked at Lin Aoxue, and asked actively:
"How is the injury on Lin Qianhu's shoulder?"
"Thanks to His Highness's concern, I have recovered a lot."
Lin Aoxue's answer was formal and rigid, and Bei Chenling couldn't hear her true thoughts from her tone.She put down the book in her hand and said again:
"Thank you to Lin Qianhu for helping me that day, and I feel really guilty for causing Qianhu to suffer."
Lin Aoxue lowered her brows and eyes slightly, but her expression was still very respectful:
"Your Highness doesn't have to be like this. The situation is critical at this time and that time. Your Highness is a body of gold, and what your subordinates do is a matter of their own."
Bei Chenling's gaze was fixed on Lin Aoxue's face all the time. Seeing that the latter remained calm from beginning to end, his face was neither happy nor angry, and the emotions in his heart were not revealed at all. For some reason, she actually felt somewhat lost and regretful.
Lin Aoxue put on a mask on her face, hiding the burnt scar, only revealing the other half. Her eyes were very deep, hiding all her thoughts and emotions without revealing anything.
Lin Aoxue, who is sober at this time, looks a little more vigorous than she did a few days ago, and she also lacks the tenderness when she was sick and weak. There is a sinister aura floating around her body. The deceptive imposing manner, ignoring her own delicate appearance, let the half mask frighten her mind.
"Are you going to keep talking to me like this?"
Bei Chenling's eyes were a bit complicated, her eyes were glued to Lin Aoxue's half face that resembled her old friend, and she asked helplessly.
Lin Aoxue raised her head, her expression indifferent:
"Otherwise, what does the princess think should be done?"
Unexpectedly, Lin Aoxue questioned her, and the melancholy in Bei Chenling's heart disappeared completely. She shook her head and smiled. She didn't know whether to be angry or to laugh at Lin Aoxue's lack of self-knowledge:
"Do you think your life is too long for you to attack this princess with such an attitude?"
This time they met, Bei Chenling always referred to herself as "I", perhaps subconsciously, wanting to get closer to each other, but Lin Aoxue kept reminding her that there is a difference between superiority and inferiority.
Upon hearing this, Lin Aoxue knelt on the ground on one knee, forced to suppress the unceasing hatred in her heart, and tried her best to keep calm and said:
"Your Highness has a kind heart, and I am very grateful for keeping the secret for you. But I am very puzzled by what the princess said, and I hope your Highness will express it clearly."
Bei Chenling looked at her silently, not sure if she really didn't understand or pretended not to understand.
After a while, she withdrew her gaze, hesitated again, and said:
"Since I've decided to keep you, I won't make it difficult for you. You don't have to be so cautious. Get up."
Lin Aoxue got up as she said, and stood aside with her head bowed.
Seeing her being so silent, Bei Chenling felt an inexplicable fire in her heart. She knew that Lin Aoxue had always had such a temperament. will make a sound.
But Bei Chenling felt angry at this moment, her brows stood on end, and she asked coldly:
"Aren't you curious why the princess asked you to come here?"
Lin Aoxue is not afraid of being scalded by boiling water:
"When Your Highness wants to speak, he will speak."
Bei Chenling hated Lin Aoxue's stubborn appearance very much. Although Lin Aoxue was kind to her, she also saved Lin Aoxue this time.
If you have to count, Lin Aoxue rescued her twice, she brought Lin Aoxue down from Mingting Mountain, and found Yunyan to treat Lin Aoxue's wounds, and even concealed the secret of her womanhood for her, they have long since owed each other.
"Lin Aoxue, this princess advises you to be aware of current affairs!"
Bei Chenling slapped the desk, trembling with anger, but even she herself didn't understand why she was so angry.
Lin Aoxue looked puzzled, she even wondered in her heart whether she had bumped into some god when she went out, why every time she saw someone today, she would get angry at her, and she still couldn't figure out the situation at all, it was a disaster, a natural disaster.
"I also ask the princess to calm down."
Besides, she didn't know what to say, and how to persuade this moody princess.
When Bei Chenling slammed the table, she was already aware of her gaffe. She frowned, took two breaths of cold air, closed her eyes helplessly, and eased her tone:
"Forget it, the princess is in a bad mood today, you can sit with the princess for a while."
Lin Aoxue was still confused, she glanced at the stone bench beside Bei Chenling, and said:
"Your Highness, there is a difference between honor and inferiority, it's better to just stand here."
Bei Chenling stared, her anger rose again, and she couldn't help raising her voice:
"If I let you sit, you can sit, how can there be so many words!"
Lin Aoxue's eyelids trembled, she really wanted to refute that she had said very little, but she still didn't show her inner resistance, instead she sat down respectfully beside Bei Chenling, with her hands on her knees, sitting upright.
Bei Chenling glanced at her again, and now she felt much more pleasing to the eye.
After letting Lin Aoxue sit down, she didn't speak any more, but lowered her head, opened the book in her hand, continued to study the contents of the book, and left Lin Aoxue completely aside.
Lin Aoxue sat for two whole hours, the sun turned from the top of her head to the halfway up the mountain, the temperature hadn't fully warmed up, and when the sun went dark, it immediately became a little cold.
A gust of wind blew, and Bei Chenling felt the coolness, closed the book, and turned to look at Lin Aoxue, the latter still kept his face tight, his back straight, and he didn't move for two hours.
Bei Chenling suddenly felt that she was going too far.
She didn't understand why she was so self-willed today, but Lin Aoxue's stubborn temper was really irritating, she even had this character so similar to her old friend in childhood, it was a stinky temper that eight cows could not bring back.
Bei Chenling put down the book in her hand and cleared her throat:
"You can go back."
Lin Aoxue blinked with a straight face, then stood up, bowed respectfully and left.
Bei Chenling watched her walking steadily towards the gate of the courtyard, and sighed heavily in her heart. There was a voice deep in her heart asking her all the time, asking her to deal with Lin Aoxue more rationally.
But as long as she had the idea that Lin Aoxue and her old friend looked like this, when she saw Lin Aoxue again, she felt that they looked a little more alike. She even wondered if there was something wrong with her eyes or something in her heart that made her so uncontrollable .
Or maybe it's because the memory is too long, the impression of the person who she thought she would never forget in her life has gradually faded, and even the appearance of that person has become blurred.
Seeing Lin Aoxue who was similar to her, she subconsciously placed Lin Aoxue's appearance on the face of the person whose memory was blank, imagining whether that person would look like this when he grew up and matured.
Bei Chenling smiled and shook her head, feeling the coolness in the wind was getting worse, she tightened her skirt a little, and planned to get up and go back to the house.
But at this moment, Lin Aoxue's voice came from outside the courtyard again. This was the first time Lin Aoxue took the initiative to speak to her today, and the words she asked were the questions she expected:
"I would like to have the courage to ask Your Highness, why is Your Highness willing to hide your identity for this?"
Bei Chenling raised her head and looked towards the courtyard gate. Lin Aoxue had already turned around, standing inside the gate with a long body, and hadn't left yet.
It's really similar, maybe when Ah Xue talks to her like this, it's the same way.
Bei Chenling thought silently in her heart, then she pursed her lips, tilted her head and smiled, her smile was magnanimous, and she did not hide anything about the reason:
"Because you look like an old friend of mine."
Because of Lin Aoxue's appearance, she actually regained a trace of peace of mind that she had only had many years ago. Although this could not reduce the remorse and guilt deep in her heart, at least her mood at this moment was rarely relaxed.
This reason was not beyond Lin Aoxue's expectation, but it made her heart feel a sharp pain while slowly relaxing.
Since the reunion on the streets of the capital that day, Bei Chenling's every move was too strange.
And what she saw today opened Lin Aoxue's horizon even more, it was unimaginable.
She found that she couldn't figure out what Bei Chenling was thinking and what she would do next moment. Bei Chenling's mind was not so deep as the sea, but as changing as the wind.
After getting the exact answer, Lin Aoxue didn't bother anymore. She bowed her head and bowed respectfully to Bei Chenling, then turned around and left quickly.
It wasn't until Lin Aoxue's back completely disappeared outside the courtyard gate that the smile on Bei Chenling's face gradually faded away, showing a little melancholy and sadness instead.
"Axue, even if this person just looks like you, I still feel guilty."
She muttered to herself, her white jade-like five fingers gently rubbed the rough pages of the book, wrinkling the feet of the book unconsciously.
"Your Highness."
A black shadow jumped down from the beam and knelt respectfully at Bei Chenling's feet.
The next moment, the shattered sorrow on Bei Chenling's face was silently suppressed. When she opened her eyes again, the fragility and softness in those light-colored pupils quietly dissipated, and instead projected an extremely sharp brilliance, and her tone of voice lost its original shape. Some temperature, coldly speak:
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Hei Ying knelt down on the ground and truthfully reported the news he had investigated:
"The men who assassinated Prince Zong on New Year's Eve seem to be related to the former Ministry of Duke Yuan Zhen."
When Bei Chenling heard the words, his eyes darkened.
General Zhen Guo is the father of A Xue.
Because of their status as the daughters of Prince Lingzong of Beichen, a large part of the old men who were loyal to Duke Zhen refused to listen to her solicitation. They acted secretly, which not only easily exposed their identities, but also indirectly disturbed the public. Her plan is really a headache.
The author has something to say: Well... how should I put it, I actually didn’t intend to write a love triangle, I wanted to write an open-minded and beautiful fairy princess, and I won’t make her a vicious female supporting role, and I won’t write to death_(: з"∠)_Expressive ability is limited, in short, cough!that's all!
