The general said she doesn't take a wife
Chapter 38
The carriage rushed to the capital overnight without any delay on the way.
On the way, it suddenly began to rain. The rain in spring was continuous, thin and dense, and it smudged the mountains, rivers and the earth, and seemed to wet the mood of the people in the car at this time.
The atmosphere in the carriage was quite dull, Lin Aoxue did not say a word from beginning to end, and Yunyan did not force her any more. The two people who originally cherished each other, because of Lin Aoxue's indifferent and alienated answer just now, there was some estrangement for no reason, no longer Heart and soul like always.
Time became slow and long, and the road seemed to have no end. Every time we spent more time together, Lin Aoxue felt like a soldering iron was burning in his heart.
She lowered her head from beginning to end, until the light outside the window began to brighten, the rain gradually stopped, and the gate of the capital slowly approached, becoming clearer and clearer.
The guard at the gate opened the curtain of the carriage, glanced at Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan who were sitting silently inside the carriage, and then lowered the curtain again.Yun Yan ordered the dark guard who was driving the carriage to drive the carriage to the inn where Lin Aoxue stayed earlier, Lin Aoxue looked up at her side face, but didn't say much.
When the carriage arrived at the inn, Lin Aoxue jumped out of the carriage and looked back at Yunyan who was sitting quietly in the carriage. The curtains of the carriage were lowered slowly, covering that peaceful and beautiful face bit by bit. For some reason, Lin Aoxue felt a sudden twitch Pain, the heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, squeezing out a suffocating pain.
But she remained silent and didn't say a word.
The curtains of the car windows were also lowered, and the horse pulling the cart neighed, pulling the carriage behind it, and the wheels turned again, gradually walking away.
Lin Aoxue stood there in a daze, her eyes fell on the direction where Yunyan left, and she couldn't sort out her chaotic thoughts for a long time. An unknown melancholy lingered in her heart, making her feel as if she had done something wrong.
When the carriage was completely out of sight, Lin Aoxue withdrew her mind, turned around and walked towards the inn, her face covered by the mask showed a bewildered expression, and when she was climbing the stairs, she stumbled because of her panic, and almost fell from the Fall upstairs.
Lin Aoxue grasped the railing tightly, and held her forehead with her free hand, covering the half of her burnt face. The sudden colic in her heart made her almost unable to hold herself back.
And this kind of pain gradually deepened as the distance between her and Yunyan gradually widened.
She didn't even know why she was so sad.
I don't know how much time it took, and how many people in the hall gathered their eyes, before Lin Aoxue climbed upstairs with difficulty and found her room.It was only two days since she left here, but it seemed that she had been away for several months. The moment she opened the door and walked in, the familiarity of the long-lost reunion was more like a sharp dagger, piercing into her heart.
Her people came back, but her heart didn't know what was lost.
She gritted her teeth, sat down at the table, panted hard, and tried her best to adjust her mood so that she would not be too embarrassed and embarrassing.
Xiaoer brought a pot of hot tea, Lin Aoxue took off the mask on her face, put it on the table casually, and then poured water into the cup with the teapot, her hand trembled inadvertently, causing the hot tea in the pot Deviating from the established route, it dripped on her fingertips in panic.
The burning pain made her pull her hand back and even knocked over the teacup, but she was stunned, allowing the cup to roll along the table, slide down from the edge, and hit the ground with a crisp sound. , The sound of cracking.
Soon, Xiao Er came knocking on the door, with curiosity and panic in his voice, asking the people in the house what happened.
Lin Aoxue swallowed her saliva, stared dully at the broken teacup on the ground, closed her eyes tiredly, and said in a hoarse voice:
"But the teacup is broken, it's fine."
Xiaoer had to hear this, so he withdrew.
Lin Aoxue leaned over to pick up the broken teacup, but she didn't care that the sharp rip cut her palm with a shallow wound.
She watched the blood oozing from the half-inch-long shallow scar in her hand, and suddenly sat down on the ground in self-deprecation, mocking herself and laughing helplessly, her nose was sore, and tears seemed to gather in her eyes, she sucked hard Sniffing and covering her cheeks with her hands, she wanted to roar hoarsely, trying to break free from the abyss.
"Lin Aoxue, you can't do this."
She murmured to herself.
Obviously it was her own choice, and she took the initiative to push Yunyan away, why is it so painful and embarrassing.
It seemed that nothing happened between them, but something unexpected did happen, so that when Yun Yan put down the car curtain and left, she didn't even look back at her.
She really understands that Yunyan is a dangerous woman. She resists Yunyan's approach because she is afraid of the possible catastrophe, but she is really attracted by Yunyan. The contradiction between reality and inner desire squeezes her, making her difficult. Panting, and having to move forward with difficulty.
She didn't know how much time it would take to adjust her state. This feeling was like being wounded in her heart, and she had to squeeze out the poison that had been poured into the wound bit by bit with her own hands.
Before she knew it, the sky outside darkened. Lin Aoxue packed up the broken teacups and changed her clothes. The light pink pouch fell out of her clothes. Take this thing away, and put the pouch back on her chest when she was in a daze.
She held the pouch in her hand, with an extremely complicated expression.
In addition to this show bag, in her package, there are knotted ropes and jade pendants that were removed for the convenience of carrying out the task.This person has already entered her heart, and it is not easy to get out.
This night was extraordinarily long. Lin Aoxue sat against the wall all night. In a daze, she kept recalling the night when she was grounded by Bei Chenlong in the military camp. Yun Yan was busy back and forth in her tent, checking on her repeatedly. For her injuries, use a towel soaked in cold water to suppress the rapid heat from her body.
Her consciousness was in a daze, and when it was light outside, she woke up with a start, her clothes were drenched in cold sweat, her head was dizzy, she rubbed her forehead hard to relieve the dull pain, and adjusted again State, then got up and got out of bed.
Lin Aoxue took the clothes from yesterday's night trip to the backyard of the inn and set them on fire. After returning to her room, someone knocked on her door. She opened the door and looked out.
"Lin Qianhu."
As soon as this person opened his mouth, Lin Aoxue knew what he meant, she nodded, said a moment later, then went back to the house and tidied up her clothes before going to the clan palace with the guards.
In fact, she was still a little uneasy, even though she believed that Yunyan would not reveal the secret of her womanhood to Bei Chenhe, but she was not sure, after what happened yesterday, whether Yunyan would still have the same affection for her as before. friendship.
Lin Aoxue buried her head and followed the guards to the clan prince's mansion. Before leaving, she ran into Bei Chenling at the gate of the palace who was about to leave. Bei Chenling glanced at Lin Aoxue, but her gaze was very indifferent. It was far less than when she invited Lin Aoxue into the palace a few days ago. The government is generous and calm when it comes to narration.
The attendant beside Bei Chenling lifted the curtain of the carriage for her, Bei Chenling didn't look at Lin Aoxue any more, got up and got into the carriage, and ran away quickly.
Lin Aoxue frowned, and then quickly let go when the leading attendant turned back. She nodded to the man, and walked into the palace alone.
Bei Chenhe was still waiting for Lin Aoxue in the study. When Lin Aoxue arrived at Bei Chenhe's study, she raised her hand and knocked on the door lightly. Bei Chenhe's calm and indifferent voice came from inside the door:
"Come in."
Lin Aoxue pushed the door and walked in, bent down and knelt down in front of Bei Chenhe's desk:
"Lin Aoxue pays respects to the prince."
When Bei Chenhe saw Lin Aoxue, a gratified smile appeared on his face. He put down the brush in his hand for a while, got up and walked to Lin Aoxue, lifted her up, and said with a smile:
"If there are no outsiders in the future, you will not be able to perform such a great gift."
With her face down, Lin Aoxue replied respectfully:
"Thank you, Lord."
Bei Chenhe was quite satisfied with Lin Aoxue, he patted Lin Aoxue's shoulder with a smile, and praised:
"You are very good and you did not disappoint me."
Lin Aoxue also showed a relieved smile on her face, and said sincerely:
"Thanks to the cultivation of the prince."
Bei Chenhe admired Lin Aoxue's meritorious deeds but not being arrogant, and his calm performance from beginning to end. He turned around, took out the account book that Yunyan gave him yesterday from the drawer, and said to Lin Aoxue with a smile:
"You burn this thing."
Lin Aoxue's pupils shrank, and she looked at the ledger in Bei Chenhe's hand, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.Bei Chenhe was telling her that she had passed the test, and he had completely trusted her, so he asked her to destroy the ledger with his own hands.
But Lin Aoxue's heart hurts very much. This ledger was originally in Yunyan's hands, but now it appears in Beichenhe's hands, that is to say, after Yunyan left her at the entrance of the inn yesterday, she came to the Prince's Palace and handed over the ledger to Beichen congratulations.
Even though she knew long ago that sooner or later there would be confrontation between herself and Yunyan, she also chose to let go and cut off their existing relationship with her own hands, leaving only the last leeway between them.
But Yunyan's gentleness made it difficult for Lin Aoxue to hold back, even though she had already said such exaggerated words, Yunyan not only did not expose her, but also told Bei Chenhe about her achievements on this trip, making Bei Chenhe completely let go of her guard against her.
Lin Aoxue's heart was noisy again, she was so entangled in her heart that she could only sigh helplessly in the end.
She took the account book from Bei Chenhe's hand, and in front of his face, she lit the account book, burned it up, and even the ashes were blown away with the wind.
There was always a calm smile in Bei Chenhe's eyes, and he sat back behind the desk after the account book had completely disappeared, raised his pen, and said:
"The third prince's leg has been disabled, so he can't go to the border for support, but the [-] army is ready to go, and His Majesty's golden words cannot be changed. Therefore, when the army is dispatched, it will definitely be replaced temporarily."
Lin Aoxue was a little surprised when Bei Chenhe suddenly brought up this matter, but she didn't show her surprise, she still stood at the table in an orderly manner, with her head down, listening to Bei Chenhe's continuation:
"Your Majesty wants to change the general who will lead the army. He must choose another prince from among the two grown-up princes, the second prince and the fifth prince. Among them, the fifth prince with a straightforward personality has a higher chance of being selected. The fifth prince has always been close to this prince. , it’s all because if His Majesty sends the fifth prince to the border for training, I hope you can take care of him a little bit more.”
Lin Aoxue thought about it, it turned out that Bei Chenhe intended to support the fifth prince, even if the emperor didn't intend to let the fifth prince go at first, Bei Chenhe could still try to get in the way and achieve his goal.The third prince was kicked out of the general position abruptly due to his leg injury, which is a clear example.
Presumably the fifth prince should have quite a lot of trust in Bei Chenhe, and through this matter, he wants to go to the border for a few years of experience, gain military power, and then compete with the other princes for the crown prince, so he will have more say.
Lin Aoxue had no superfluous expression on her face, she kept her head down, respectful and humble:
"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to assist the Fifth Prince."
The smile on Bei Chenhe's face deepened, he nodded in satisfaction, and then signaled Lin Aoxue to back down.
Lin Aoxue came out of the palace, her mind was still in chaos. Hearing what Bei Chenhe said, the [-] elite soldiers sent by the emperor should leave the capital and return to the north in a short time. Shot the sprouts.
On the way back to the inn, Lin Aoxue heard the sound of chirping birds. She stopped at Zhanyang Lake and looked at the Golden Bird Tower on the other side of the lake. When the sun shines down, it seems that the entire Canary Tower is wrapped in a circle of gold.
The willows on the shore of the lake grew new green, and the red lotus in the lake also survived the bleak winter and began to recover and grow.
Lin Aoxue looked at it blankly, her heart was empty, she had been back in the capital for more than two months, and the mere two months made her feel as if she had passed away.Far away from the battlefield in the northern border, he got mixed up among the great dignitaries in the capital, drifting like duckweed, rootless and boundless.
She walked back through the streets to the inn, and fell asleep.
A few days later, Lin Aoxue was called to drink by Guo Wencheng. After a few rounds of drinking, Guo Wencheng suddenly slapped his thigh and said to Lin Aoxue:
"Lin Qianhu, it is estimated that in half a month, the army will be dispatched, and we have to go to the north!"
Lin Aoxue paused for a while on the wine bowl she brought to her mouth, she raised her eyes to look at Guo Wencheng, lowered her voice and asked:
"General Guo, do you know what the identity of this leader is?"
Guo Wencheng waved his hands, shook his head and answered:
"What other identity can it be? Either the second prince or the fifth prince. Who can guess what His Majesty is thinking. We courtiers just need to obey the arrangement. No matter how bad it is, after returning to the northern border, there will still be a general on top of us. .”
Lin Aoxue didn't make a sound when she heard the words, she only took two sips of wine silently, Guo Wencheng got a little drunk, put the wine bowl in her hand on the table, and filled another bowl, suddenly thought of something, her eyes flashed After a moment of vigilance, he got up and closed the window, then turned around again, under Lin Aoxue's surprised and doubtful eyes, whispered:
"Lin Qianhu, have you heard recently that something happened to the clan prince's mansion!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Aoxue was stunned immediately, her eyes widened, she was very surprised, and asked:
"What does General Guo mean by this?"
Guo Wencheng took another sip of the wine in the glass and sighed deeply:
"I told you before, don't get involved with the clan prince's mansion. The water in the capital is very messy!"
Lin Aoxue filled the wine for Guo Wencheng, nodded and said:
"Yes, I would like to thank General Guo for your suggestion."
Guo Wencheng drank a few glasses of wine, became drunk, and was not as rigid as usual, but talked more. He shook the wine bowl in his hand, watched the wine swaying in the bowl, and gave a light snort, saying road:
"Two days ago, there was an assassin at the Prince Zongfu's mansion, and the Prince Zong was assassinated and injured. These few days, he didn't even go to court, and thanked guests behind closed doors. No one went to the palace, tsk tsk..."
Lin Aoxue frowned slightly, since Guo Wencheng told her about this incident, it was probably true, not like a misrepresentation, but there are so many capable people in the palace, how could Bei Chenhe be assassinated and injured so easily?When she heard Guo Wencheng talk about Bei Chenhe closing the door to thank guests, she began to worry about it. I am afraid that this is Bei Chenhe's method of putting aside his own for the time being when the undercurrent is surging.
It coincided with the time when the army headed for the northern border was about to be dispatched, and Bei Chenhe wanted to help the fifth prince to become a general. He claimed that he was injured at this time, which could greatly reduce the emperor's suspicion of him.
Just as she was thinking of this, Guo Wencheng said another thing:
"Recently, there is no peace in the court. I always feel that something is going to happen. Lin Qianhu, after the matter in Beijing, we'd better go back to the northern border earlier. Although there are many wars in the northern border, the hearts of the people are not there. It's so complicated, and that's why I disobeyed my parents' orders and had to go to the northern border to guard the border!"
Lin Aoxue claimed it was, and she asked Guo Wencheng how restless he was in the court recently. Since Guo Wencheng entered the palace last time to see the emperor and report the border war, he was promoted and was allowed to enter the palace to attend the court. He did know a lot more about things than Lin Aoxue.
Hearing Lin Aoxue's question at this time, Guo Wencheng did not doubt him, so he said to Lin Aoxue:
"A while ago, there were courtiers who impeached the prince Zong and accepted bribes in private. It was not just the words of one person and two people. Later, because of the anger of the courtiers, His Majesty sent imperial envoys to Fudu to investigate the matter, but no evidence was found. It turned out that His Majesty was quite furious about this, and on the spot scolded those officials who proposed to impeach Prince Zong, the methods of Prince Zong are not ordinary..."
Lin Aoxue did not expect that there would be such a follow-up to the private sale of salt officials in Fudu. If the emperor was not a fool, he would not easily send an imperial envoy to investigate. On the one hand, it was out of his own selfishness. No matter whether the prince of clan had real power or not, he was a dangerous existence to the emperor.
Therefore, it is not impossible for the emperor to have the idea of suppressing Bei Chenhe from time to time. Maybe, this time, the emperor also intends to reduce Bei Chenhe's power. Said he was injured and withdrew from the battle in the court.
Lin Aoxue lamented that Prince Zong Bei Chenhe's scheming was beyond the reach of ordinary people. For example, Guo Wencheng, who was drinking with her right now, was completely kept in the dark. real movement.
Guo Wencheng said some irrelevant things to Lin Aoxue again. After the emperor angrily reprimanded the courtiers, he unsurprisingly suppressed the matter. After that, no one mentioned about Prince Zong again. Read books and practice calligraphy in the mansion leisurely.
It wasn't until Guo Wencheng got drunk that Lin Aoxue changed the mistress to tidy up the room, carried Guo Wencheng to bed, then left and went back to her room, thinking about what was going on in Beijing, and fell asleep without knowing it.
Since returning to the capital and parting with Yunyan outside the inn after carrying out the mission that day, Lin Aoxue has never looked for Yunyan again, and Yunyan has never come to look for Lin Aoxue. They returned to the time when they didn't know each other very much at first, but they were a little different.
The feeling of guilt and pain in Lin Aoxue's heart was also buried in her heart bit by bit as time passed, but from time to time, it would suddenly come out from the bottom of her heart unexpectedly, making her temporarily absent-minded.
Seeing that the time for the army to dispatch was approaching, on this day, Lin Aoxue was practicing marksmanship in the backyard of the inn with a silver spear in hand. After finishing a set of dragon marksmanship, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Lin Aoxue's forehead. Her clothes were also soaked in sweat, she put away her silver gun, turned around and prepared to go back to her room to freshen up and change clothes.
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw a young servant waiting outside. Seeing Lin Aoxue come out, the young servant immediately stepped forward, stood still in front of Lin Aoxue, clasped his fists and made a long bow to Lin Aoxue:
"Lin Qianhu, the Princess is here to invite you."
Lin Aoxue paused, looking at the boy, a look of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Bei Chenling seldom looks for her. It has been nearly ten days since she was summoned to the palace last time. What's more, Beichenhe said that he was injured and refused to go to court, and also closed the gate of the palace. I don't know that Beichenling is suddenly looking for her at this time. , for what reason?
She said "later" to the boy, and then hurried back to the house by herself. She didn't have time to wash up, so she simply changed her clothes and didn't let the boy wait for too long. It took about half a cup of tea, and she After tidying up, he pushed open the door and walked out, followed the young man to the clan prince's mansion.
As she approached the gate of the palace, Lin Aoxue was still feeling emotional. She clearly remembered that the last time she met Bei Chenling here, the latter glanced at her coldly. His eyes were like knives, and she wished she could stab Lin Aoxue in the face. It is really strange to find a hole today.
Bei Chenling was the same as when she came to see Lin Aoxue last time, she was still sitting in the yard, the spring was warmer, the pear tree not only sprouted new buds, but also bloomed small snow-white flowers, looking from a distance, it looked like snow falling on the tips, exquisite and beautiful .
Presumably, the snow in the northern border should have melted by this time. Last year, at about this time, the barbarians went to Xingbei Pass to attack the city, and the first battle of spring started.
"Lin Aoxue pays homage to Her Majesty the Princess."
Lin Aoxue walked into the small courtyard. She hid all the ups and downs of her mood under a cold mask, and saluted Bei Chenling respectfully and accommodatingly.Bei Chenling had noticed her coming when she walked into the small courtyard, but it wasn't until she knelt down to salute that Bei Chenling raised her head, her eyes were still cold, and she lacked the easy-going meaning she saw in the courtyard that day .
Feeling Bei Chenling's cold gaze, Lin Aoxue felt baffled in her heart. She asked herself that she hadn't provoked Bei Chenling for no reason, why Bei Chenling's attitude towards her was so strange, it was so different from the last time they met, she really couldn't guess this The unfathomable woman's mind chose to stand aside without saying a word, obeying orders.
After a while, Bei Chenling said with a cold face:
"What have you been doing these days?"
Lin Aoxue became more and more inexplicable, she took a deep breath, bowed her head and answered:
"I have nothing to do, I'm recuperating at the inn. After the injury is recovered, I will start practicing martial arts."
"Have you ever left the inn?"
Bei Chenling asked again.
Lin Aoxue frowned, then let go, and replied:
"My lord will meet you next time, and for the rest of the time, I have never left the inn."
She wondered in her heart if something had happened that made Bei Chenling think that it was her who made the move, so she was brought here for interrogation.
After asking, Bei Chenling's face became even more ugly, Lin Aoxue was confused, and the silence lasted for about a few breaths, before Bei Chenling sighed and said:
"If you are free, go to Yanyu Building to have a look."
After a long time, she finally said this sentence.Lin Aoxue was taken aback for a moment, then raised her head abruptly, and looked at Bei Chenling with puzzled eyes.
It must have something to do with Yunyan for Bei Chenling to say such words. Lin Aoxue's heart, which took nearly ten days to calm down, jumped violently again when Bei Chenling said this sentence.She pursed her lips tightly, with a puzzled expression on her face, hoping that Bei Chenling could speak clearly.
Unexpectedly, Bei Chenling waved her hand after saying this, indicating that she could leave, Lin Aoxue was even more confused.
Did Bei Chenling call her over just to say such a word to her?
Lin Aoxue bowed and saluted inexplicably, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard, Bei Chenling sat on the stone bench, the pages of the book in her hands had not been turned for a long time, until Lin Aoxue's figure completely disappeared, she raised her head again, He glanced in the direction where Lin Aoxue was leaving, and then sighed helplessly:
"Why is this..."
The people who defended Yunyan in every possible way at the beginning, now they don't hear anything outside the window, and they have never even cared about Yunyan.
Bei Chenling felt it was not worth it for Yunyan.
When Lin Aoxue came out of the palace, she kept recalling the brief conversation Bei Chenling had just had with her in her mind. Her heart beat faster and faster, and her doubts became deeper and deeper.Why did Bei Chenling call her to the palace just to say this to her? What happened to Yunyan?
But, how could something happen to a woman as powerful as Yunyan?
While thinking in confusion, Lin Aoxue walked aimlessly through the bustling streets. Finally, when she passed the intersection outside the Yanyu Building, she heard the familiar sound of piano music again.
The sound of the piano is continuous, the lingering sound is mellow, ups and downs, and even the scholars outside the building listening to the couplets are also emotionally turbulent and intoxicated by it.
Lin Aoxue stopped on the street. She raised her head and looked in the direction of the Misty Rain Building. She saw a person sitting on the piano platform on the second floor among the pavilions and pavilions. Although she couldn't see clearly from such a long distance, , but Lin Aoxue knew in her heart that the girl sitting on the piano platform playing the piano should be Yunyan.
Her mood was very complicated, her heart was dull and painful, the feeling after getting off the carriage that day seemed to rise from the bottom of her heart again, lingering in her heart, making her breathing heavy and full of burden .
She really wanted to go over and take another look at a closer place, but she also felt that it might be best to keep such a short distance between her and Yunyan.
Lin Aoxue stood on the street for a long time, and the pedestrians who came and went kept looking at her.
She gritted her teeth, and finally turned around, ready to leave.
But at the moment when she turned around and was about to leave, the sound of the piano music behind her stopped abruptly, interspersed with the crisp sound of strings cracking.Lin Aoxue's footsteps stopped, a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, she immediately turned around quickly, looked back, and saw the woman in the qin platform, her body softened, and fell on the qin platform.
All the scholars in the audience were in an uproar, Lin Aoxue was suffocated, and felt that her heartbeat seemed to stop along with the broken piano sound at this moment, and panic and uneasiness suddenly appeared in her heart, which stimulated her mind and made her in the next moment, He made a move that went against his original choice.
She didn't care about any rational choices, didn't care about all kinds of suspicions and contradictions between them because of their disagreement, and finally rushed to the Yanyu Building at a speed exceeding her usual level. Go to the piano stand.
Yun Yan fell to the ground, her face as white as paper, the broken strings punctured her fingers, and drops of blood continued along the body of the piano to the ground beside Yun Yan's body.
Lin Aoxue stood there in a daze, she felt as if a string in her mind had snapped, there was a noisy sound from the building, and a servant ran up from downstairs, intending to see what was happening on the piano platform. what.
Lin Aoxue strode out, before the servant from Yanyu Building arrived, she hugged Yunyan into her arms, she probed Yunyan's breath with trembling hands, until her fingertips touched the weak but continuous breathing, Lin Aoxue Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
She felt that her legs and feet were a little weak, and she was glad that Yunyan just fell into a coma and did not die suddenly.
Lin Aoxue stood up with Yunyan in her arms, ignored the loud yelling of the servants in the Yanyu Building, and left the Yanyu Building directly.She didn't know why Yunyan became like this, but she subconsciously thought of taking Yunyan to see a doctor.
Doctors can't heal themselves, even though Yunyan's medical skills are superb, she is in a coma at the moment, but she can't prescribe the right medicine for herself anyway.
Lin Aoxue rushed into the nearest medical clinic with Yunyan in her arms, and anxiously and panickedly called the doctor in the clinic to give Yunyan a pulse diagnosis.
Lin Aoxue wore a half-mask on her face, describing it as fierce and evil, and startled the clerks in the pharmacy. Fortunately, the old doctor was quite calm after seeing life and death in strong winds and waves, and signaled Lin Aoxue to put Yunyan in the hall. chair, came over with a medicine box.
The old doctor has rich experience, he roughly checked Yunyan's pulse, and then frowned, seeing that Lin Aoxue's heart was trembling, when the doctor raised his head, Lin Aoxue took the initiative to go over and asked:
"Doctor, how is she?"
The old doctor frowned tightly and asked:
"Is she your wife?"
When Lin Aoxue heard this, she almost lost her temper, but she still tried her best to keep calm, and retorted with a calm face:
"She's my sister."
The old doctor understood and didn't ask any more questions, but there was a trace of complaint in his eyes:
"Your sister has suffered such a serious injury, why is there no one to take care of her? She has inflammation due to the injury, and she has suffered from the wind and cold. She needs to rest for a while to recover. I will prescribe some medicine for you. She will go back, decoct it in the morning and evening, and take good care of it."
Lin Aoxue fell into a daze after hearing the old doctor's words. She took the prescription prescribed by the old doctor in a daze, and went to pay for the medicine in a daze. Her mind was in a mess from the beginning to the end until she got the medicine. After that, she hugged Yunyan and returned to Yunyan's small house as quickly as possible.
Lin Aoxue took the key from Yunyan's waist, unlocked the door, pushed open the gate of the house, carried Yunyan back to the bedroom, and placed her on the bed.
She checked Yunyan's condition carefully, spread out the quilt on the bed, and covered Yunyan.Afterwards, she took another pack of medicine and fried it on the fire in the kitchen. Only then did Lin Aoxue free herself to think about what the old doctor said just now.
Yunyan was injured, the injury was very serious, and it even caused inflammation, and fell into a coma due to the cold.
Why is she hurt?
Such a question came to Lin Aoxue's mind. She recalled the inexplicable attitude and half-spoken words when Bei Chenling came to her today.Lin Aoxue gritted her teeth, her mood was turbulent, and she put the medicine on the fire. She was worried that Yunyan would wake up halfway, so she hurried back to the room.
Yunyan's cheeks were blushing, Lin Aoxue walked over, put the back of her hand on Yunyan's cheeks and probed, immediately she frowned solemnly, Yunyan felt a fever.
Lin Aoxue's heart was complicated. She had been injured in the past, and she had fallen into such a situation several times. Because of the severity of the injury, she developed a fever, was covered in cold sweat, and trembled continuously. If Yunyan hadn't treated her in time, she would have fallen into a coma. root cause.
She turned around and went out to fetch a basin of cold water and came back, soaked a towel in the water, and wiped Yunyan's cheeks and arms for Yunyan. Yunyan had taken care of her more than once before, but now she changed her identity, and she took care of Yunyan who was seriously ill.
At this time, Yunyan's face was pale and she looked extremely weak. She fell into a coma, her eyes were closed tightly, but her eyelids were trembling unceasingly, as if she had been haunted by a nightmare. Her expression was flustered and painful, which made Lin Aoxue's heart tremble. The ground hurts.
She wiped Yun Yan's cheeks more frequently, but in the process, she found a layer of cold sweat on Yun Yan's body, which wetted her clothes.She recalled that when Yunyan took care of her, she would change her clothes first when encountering such a situation, otherwise the moisture from the cold sweat would invade the body together with the cold, which would cause extremely troublesome cold symptoms.
Lin Aoxue was in trouble at this time, she had never helped someone change clothes, let alone this person was still Yun Yan.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally was overwhelmed by the worry that Yunyan's typhoid fever would worsen. She turned around and found a set of clean underwear from the cabinet where Yunyan stacked her clothes, went back to the bed, and lifted the quilt , intending to take off Yunyan's clothes first.
But just as she pushed off Yunyan's collar, her hands stopped suddenly. Lin Aoxue's pupils shrank suddenly, and she stared intently at Yunyan's half-opened neckline. A small section of extremely ferocious blue-purple whip marks.
Lin Aoxue clenched her fists violently, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, she gritted her teeth hard, and carefully unbuttoned Yunyan's shirt, she flicked the collar lightly, the injury on her shoulder and back showed more clearly In front of Lin Aoxue's eyes, the welt stretched along the shoulder, and finally carved a scabbed, bright red mark on Yunyan's back.
Lin Aoxue stared wide-eyed at the whip marks on Yunyan's back in all directions, her eyes were about to burst.
She never thought that she would see such serious injuries and so many whip marks on Yun Yan's body. Even if Lin Aoxue had practiced martial arts all year round and had a solid foundation, if she forcibly endured so many whips, she would definitely fall down for several years. Can't get up every day, let alone a delicate and frail girl like Yunyan? !
In Lin Aoxue's heart, a surge of anger almost broke through the zenith, making her want to kill and set fire recklessly, in order to seek justice for Yunyan.
This looks like the trace left by the torture equipment. Who hurt her, and why did she hurt her?
Lin Aoxue was holding back an indescribable anger, her whole heart was twitching and trembling, she was so distressed that she almost suffocated, these welts fell on Yunyan's white skin, so glaring, she wished she could replace her with her own body .
She rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the house to find the wound medicine that Yunyan had given her earlier, and then carefully and quickly took off Yunyan's clothes.
Her movements were very gentle, lest too much force would make the welts more painful.
Gritting her teeth, Lin Aoxue applied the wound medicine to the welt marks on Yunyan's back, then redressed her, pulled up the quilt, and covered Yunyan carefully.
After a long delay, Lin Aoxue suddenly remembered that she had set up the stove to decoct the medicine. She jumped up in a hurry and ran back to the kitchen. , making a sound.
Lin Aoxue hurried over, because she was anxious, she subconsciously reached out to remove the lid of the medicine jar, but was scalded by the scorching airflow, Lin Aoxue's face twisted in pain, she withdrew her hand like an electric shock, and stuck her two fingers on her earlobe After going up and down to cool down, I learned my lesson, took a cotton napkin soaked in cold water from the side, pressed it on the lid, and uncovered it.
Lin Aoxue estimated in her heart when the medicine would be ready. She glanced at the soup medicine in the medicine pot, then closed the lid again, took a cattail fan over, and added two winds to the charcoal fire in the stove to make the fire burn brightly. Some.
She stood by the stove, and when the soup was ready, she filled a pottery bowl and walked towards Yunyan's bedroom with it in her hand.
Lin Aoxue gently pushed open the door, but when she stepped into the room with one foot, her whole body froze.
Yun Yan had woken up at some point, she heard movement at the door, and tilted her head with difficulty, just happened to see Lin Aoxue holding the medicine bowl in one hand, and pushing the door open with the other, acting furtively, like A thief who steals.
Yun Yan blinked her eyes to confirm that she was not mistaken, and suddenly there was a smile in her eyes, this person is a thief, a thief who steals his heart.
The author has something to say: the trip to the capital is coming to an end, and he is going back to the north to fight again!

On the way, it suddenly began to rain. The rain in spring was continuous, thin and dense, and it smudged the mountains, rivers and the earth, and seemed to wet the mood of the people in the car at this time.
The atmosphere in the carriage was quite dull, Lin Aoxue did not say a word from beginning to end, and Yunyan did not force her any more. The two people who originally cherished each other, because of Lin Aoxue's indifferent and alienated answer just now, there was some estrangement for no reason, no longer Heart and soul like always.
Time became slow and long, and the road seemed to have no end. Every time we spent more time together, Lin Aoxue felt like a soldering iron was burning in his heart.
She lowered her head from beginning to end, until the light outside the window began to brighten, the rain gradually stopped, and the gate of the capital slowly approached, becoming clearer and clearer.
The guard at the gate opened the curtain of the carriage, glanced at Lin Aoxue and Yun Yan who were sitting silently inside the carriage, and then lowered the curtain again.Yun Yan ordered the dark guard who was driving the carriage to drive the carriage to the inn where Lin Aoxue stayed earlier, Lin Aoxue looked up at her side face, but didn't say much.
When the carriage arrived at the inn, Lin Aoxue jumped out of the carriage and looked back at Yunyan who was sitting quietly in the carriage. The curtains of the carriage were lowered slowly, covering that peaceful and beautiful face bit by bit. For some reason, Lin Aoxue felt a sudden twitch Pain, the heart seemed to be grasped by an invisible hand, squeezing out a suffocating pain.
But she remained silent and didn't say a word.
The curtains of the car windows were also lowered, and the horse pulling the cart neighed, pulling the carriage behind it, and the wheels turned again, gradually walking away.
Lin Aoxue stood there in a daze, her eyes fell on the direction where Yunyan left, and she couldn't sort out her chaotic thoughts for a long time. An unknown melancholy lingered in her heart, making her feel as if she had done something wrong.
When the carriage was completely out of sight, Lin Aoxue withdrew her mind, turned around and walked towards the inn, her face covered by the mask showed a bewildered expression, and when she was climbing the stairs, she stumbled because of her panic, and almost fell from the Fall upstairs.
Lin Aoxue grasped the railing tightly, and held her forehead with her free hand, covering the half of her burnt face. The sudden colic in her heart made her almost unable to hold herself back.
And this kind of pain gradually deepened as the distance between her and Yunyan gradually widened.
She didn't even know why she was so sad.
I don't know how much time it took, and how many people in the hall gathered their eyes, before Lin Aoxue climbed upstairs with difficulty and found her room.It was only two days since she left here, but it seemed that she had been away for several months. The moment she opened the door and walked in, the familiarity of the long-lost reunion was more like a sharp dagger, piercing into her heart.
Her people came back, but her heart didn't know what was lost.
She gritted her teeth, sat down at the table, panted hard, and tried her best to adjust her mood so that she would not be too embarrassed and embarrassing.
Xiaoer brought a pot of hot tea, Lin Aoxue took off the mask on her face, put it on the table casually, and then poured water into the cup with the teapot, her hand trembled inadvertently, causing the hot tea in the pot Deviating from the established route, it dripped on her fingertips in panic.
The burning pain made her pull her hand back and even knocked over the teacup, but she was stunned, allowing the cup to roll along the table, slide down from the edge, and hit the ground with a crisp sound. , The sound of cracking.
Soon, Xiao Er came knocking on the door, with curiosity and panic in his voice, asking the people in the house what happened.
Lin Aoxue swallowed her saliva, stared dully at the broken teacup on the ground, closed her eyes tiredly, and said in a hoarse voice:
"But the teacup is broken, it's fine."
Xiaoer had to hear this, so he withdrew.
Lin Aoxue leaned over to pick up the broken teacup, but she didn't care that the sharp rip cut her palm with a shallow wound.
She watched the blood oozing from the half-inch-long shallow scar in her hand, and suddenly sat down on the ground in self-deprecation, mocking herself and laughing helplessly, her nose was sore, and tears seemed to gather in her eyes, she sucked hard Sniffing and covering her cheeks with her hands, she wanted to roar hoarsely, trying to break free from the abyss.
"Lin Aoxue, you can't do this."
She murmured to herself.
Obviously it was her own choice, and she took the initiative to push Yunyan away, why is it so painful and embarrassing.
It seemed that nothing happened between them, but something unexpected did happen, so that when Yun Yan put down the car curtain and left, she didn't even look back at her.
She really understands that Yunyan is a dangerous woman. She resists Yunyan's approach because she is afraid of the possible catastrophe, but she is really attracted by Yunyan. The contradiction between reality and inner desire squeezes her, making her difficult. Panting, and having to move forward with difficulty.
She didn't know how much time it would take to adjust her state. This feeling was like being wounded in her heart, and she had to squeeze out the poison that had been poured into the wound bit by bit with her own hands.
Before she knew it, the sky outside darkened. Lin Aoxue packed up the broken teacups and changed her clothes. The light pink pouch fell out of her clothes. Take this thing away, and put the pouch back on her chest when she was in a daze.
She held the pouch in her hand, with an extremely complicated expression.
In addition to this show bag, in her package, there are knotted ropes and jade pendants that were removed for the convenience of carrying out the task.This person has already entered her heart, and it is not easy to get out.
This night was extraordinarily long. Lin Aoxue sat against the wall all night. In a daze, she kept recalling the night when she was grounded by Bei Chenlong in the military camp. Yun Yan was busy back and forth in her tent, checking on her repeatedly. For her injuries, use a towel soaked in cold water to suppress the rapid heat from her body.
Her consciousness was in a daze, and when it was light outside, she woke up with a start, her clothes were drenched in cold sweat, her head was dizzy, she rubbed her forehead hard to relieve the dull pain, and adjusted again State, then got up and got out of bed.
Lin Aoxue took the clothes from yesterday's night trip to the backyard of the inn and set them on fire. After returning to her room, someone knocked on her door. She opened the door and looked out.
"Lin Qianhu."
As soon as this person opened his mouth, Lin Aoxue knew what he meant, she nodded, said a moment later, then went back to the house and tidied up her clothes before going to the clan palace with the guards.
In fact, she was still a little uneasy, even though she believed that Yunyan would not reveal the secret of her womanhood to Bei Chenhe, but she was not sure, after what happened yesterday, whether Yunyan would still have the same affection for her as before. friendship.
Lin Aoxue buried her head and followed the guards to the clan prince's mansion. Before leaving, she ran into Bei Chenling at the gate of the palace who was about to leave. Bei Chenling glanced at Lin Aoxue, but her gaze was very indifferent. It was far less than when she invited Lin Aoxue into the palace a few days ago. The government is generous and calm when it comes to narration.
The attendant beside Bei Chenling lifted the curtain of the carriage for her, Bei Chenling didn't look at Lin Aoxue any more, got up and got into the carriage, and ran away quickly.
Lin Aoxue frowned, and then quickly let go when the leading attendant turned back. She nodded to the man, and walked into the palace alone.
Bei Chenhe was still waiting for Lin Aoxue in the study. When Lin Aoxue arrived at Bei Chenhe's study, she raised her hand and knocked on the door lightly. Bei Chenhe's calm and indifferent voice came from inside the door:
"Come in."
Lin Aoxue pushed the door and walked in, bent down and knelt down in front of Bei Chenhe's desk:
"Lin Aoxue pays respects to the prince."
When Bei Chenhe saw Lin Aoxue, a gratified smile appeared on his face. He put down the brush in his hand for a while, got up and walked to Lin Aoxue, lifted her up, and said with a smile:
"If there are no outsiders in the future, you will not be able to perform such a great gift."
With her face down, Lin Aoxue replied respectfully:
"Thank you, Lord."
Bei Chenhe was quite satisfied with Lin Aoxue, he patted Lin Aoxue's shoulder with a smile, and praised:
"You are very good and you did not disappoint me."
Lin Aoxue also showed a relieved smile on her face, and said sincerely:
"Thanks to the cultivation of the prince."
Bei Chenhe admired Lin Aoxue's meritorious deeds but not being arrogant, and his calm performance from beginning to end. He turned around, took out the account book that Yunyan gave him yesterday from the drawer, and said to Lin Aoxue with a smile:
"You burn this thing."
Lin Aoxue's pupils shrank, and she looked at the ledger in Bei Chenhe's hand, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.Bei Chenhe was telling her that she had passed the test, and he had completely trusted her, so he asked her to destroy the ledger with his own hands.
But Lin Aoxue's heart hurts very much. This ledger was originally in Yunyan's hands, but now it appears in Beichenhe's hands, that is to say, after Yunyan left her at the entrance of the inn yesterday, she came to the Prince's Palace and handed over the ledger to Beichen congratulations.
Even though she knew long ago that sooner or later there would be confrontation between herself and Yunyan, she also chose to let go and cut off their existing relationship with her own hands, leaving only the last leeway between them.
But Yunyan's gentleness made it difficult for Lin Aoxue to hold back, even though she had already said such exaggerated words, Yunyan not only did not expose her, but also told Bei Chenhe about her achievements on this trip, making Bei Chenhe completely let go of her guard against her.
Lin Aoxue's heart was noisy again, she was so entangled in her heart that she could only sigh helplessly in the end.
She took the account book from Bei Chenhe's hand, and in front of his face, she lit the account book, burned it up, and even the ashes were blown away with the wind.
There was always a calm smile in Bei Chenhe's eyes, and he sat back behind the desk after the account book had completely disappeared, raised his pen, and said:
"The third prince's leg has been disabled, so he can't go to the border for support, but the [-] army is ready to go, and His Majesty's golden words cannot be changed. Therefore, when the army is dispatched, it will definitely be replaced temporarily."
Lin Aoxue was a little surprised when Bei Chenhe suddenly brought up this matter, but she didn't show her surprise, she still stood at the table in an orderly manner, with her head down, listening to Bei Chenhe's continuation:
"Your Majesty wants to change the general who will lead the army. He must choose another prince from among the two grown-up princes, the second prince and the fifth prince. Among them, the fifth prince with a straightforward personality has a higher chance of being selected. The fifth prince has always been close to this prince. , it’s all because if His Majesty sends the fifth prince to the border for training, I hope you can take care of him a little bit more.”
Lin Aoxue thought about it, it turned out that Bei Chenhe intended to support the fifth prince, even if the emperor didn't intend to let the fifth prince go at first, Bei Chenhe could still try to get in the way and achieve his goal.The third prince was kicked out of the general position abruptly due to his leg injury, which is a clear example.
Presumably the fifth prince should have quite a lot of trust in Bei Chenhe, and through this matter, he wants to go to the border for a few years of experience, gain military power, and then compete with the other princes for the crown prince, so he will have more say.
Lin Aoxue had no superfluous expression on her face, she kept her head down, respectful and humble:
"Don't worry, my lord, I will do my best to assist the Fifth Prince."
The smile on Bei Chenhe's face deepened, he nodded in satisfaction, and then signaled Lin Aoxue to back down.
Lin Aoxue came out of the palace, her mind was still in chaos. Hearing what Bei Chenhe said, the [-] elite soldiers sent by the emperor should leave the capital and return to the north in a short time. Shot the sprouts.
On the way back to the inn, Lin Aoxue heard the sound of chirping birds. She stopped at Zhanyang Lake and looked at the Golden Bird Tower on the other side of the lake. When the sun shines down, it seems that the entire Canary Tower is wrapped in a circle of gold.
The willows on the shore of the lake grew new green, and the red lotus in the lake also survived the bleak winter and began to recover and grow.
Lin Aoxue looked at it blankly, her heart was empty, she had been back in the capital for more than two months, and the mere two months made her feel as if she had passed away.Far away from the battlefield in the northern border, he got mixed up among the great dignitaries in the capital, drifting like duckweed, rootless and boundless.
She walked back through the streets to the inn, and fell asleep.
A few days later, Lin Aoxue was called to drink by Guo Wencheng. After a few rounds of drinking, Guo Wencheng suddenly slapped his thigh and said to Lin Aoxue:
"Lin Qianhu, it is estimated that in half a month, the army will be dispatched, and we have to go to the north!"
Lin Aoxue paused for a while on the wine bowl she brought to her mouth, she raised her eyes to look at Guo Wencheng, lowered her voice and asked:
"General Guo, do you know what the identity of this leader is?"
Guo Wencheng waved his hands, shook his head and answered:
"What other identity can it be? Either the second prince or the fifth prince. Who can guess what His Majesty is thinking. We courtiers just need to obey the arrangement. No matter how bad it is, after returning to the northern border, there will still be a general on top of us. .”
Lin Aoxue didn't make a sound when she heard the words, she only took two sips of wine silently, Guo Wencheng got a little drunk, put the wine bowl in her hand on the table, and filled another bowl, suddenly thought of something, her eyes flashed After a moment of vigilance, he got up and closed the window, then turned around again, under Lin Aoxue's surprised and doubtful eyes, whispered:
"Lin Qianhu, have you heard recently that something happened to the clan prince's mansion!"
As soon as these words came out, Lin Aoxue was stunned immediately, her eyes widened, she was very surprised, and asked:
"What does General Guo mean by this?"
Guo Wencheng took another sip of the wine in the glass and sighed deeply:
"I told you before, don't get involved with the clan prince's mansion. The water in the capital is very messy!"
Lin Aoxue filled the wine for Guo Wencheng, nodded and said:
"Yes, I would like to thank General Guo for your suggestion."
Guo Wencheng drank a few glasses of wine, became drunk, and was not as rigid as usual, but talked more. He shook the wine bowl in his hand, watched the wine swaying in the bowl, and gave a light snort, saying road:
"Two days ago, there was an assassin at the Prince Zongfu's mansion, and the Prince Zong was assassinated and injured. These few days, he didn't even go to court, and thanked guests behind closed doors. No one went to the palace, tsk tsk..."
Lin Aoxue frowned slightly, since Guo Wencheng told her about this incident, it was probably true, not like a misrepresentation, but there are so many capable people in the palace, how could Bei Chenhe be assassinated and injured so easily?When she heard Guo Wencheng talk about Bei Chenhe closing the door to thank guests, she began to worry about it. I am afraid that this is Bei Chenhe's method of putting aside his own for the time being when the undercurrent is surging.
It coincided with the time when the army headed for the northern border was about to be dispatched, and Bei Chenhe wanted to help the fifth prince to become a general. He claimed that he was injured at this time, which could greatly reduce the emperor's suspicion of him.
Just as she was thinking of this, Guo Wencheng said another thing:
"Recently, there is no peace in the court. I always feel that something is going to happen. Lin Qianhu, after the matter in Beijing, we'd better go back to the northern border earlier. Although there are many wars in the northern border, the hearts of the people are not there. It's so complicated, and that's why I disobeyed my parents' orders and had to go to the northern border to guard the border!"
Lin Aoxue claimed it was, and she asked Guo Wencheng how restless he was in the court recently. Since Guo Wencheng entered the palace last time to see the emperor and report the border war, he was promoted and was allowed to enter the palace to attend the court. He did know a lot more about things than Lin Aoxue.
Hearing Lin Aoxue's question at this time, Guo Wencheng did not doubt him, so he said to Lin Aoxue:
"A while ago, there were courtiers who impeached the prince Zong and accepted bribes in private. It was not just the words of one person and two people. Later, because of the anger of the courtiers, His Majesty sent imperial envoys to Fudu to investigate the matter, but no evidence was found. It turned out that His Majesty was quite furious about this, and on the spot scolded those officials who proposed to impeach Prince Zong, the methods of Prince Zong are not ordinary..."
Lin Aoxue did not expect that there would be such a follow-up to the private sale of salt officials in Fudu. If the emperor was not a fool, he would not easily send an imperial envoy to investigate. On the one hand, it was out of his own selfishness. No matter whether the prince of clan had real power or not, he was a dangerous existence to the emperor.
Therefore, it is not impossible for the emperor to have the idea of suppressing Bei Chenhe from time to time. Maybe, this time, the emperor also intends to reduce Bei Chenhe's power. Said he was injured and withdrew from the battle in the court.
Lin Aoxue lamented that Prince Zong Bei Chenhe's scheming was beyond the reach of ordinary people. For example, Guo Wencheng, who was drinking with her right now, was completely kept in the dark. real movement.
Guo Wencheng said some irrelevant things to Lin Aoxue again. After the emperor angrily reprimanded the courtiers, he unsurprisingly suppressed the matter. After that, no one mentioned about Prince Zong again. Read books and practice calligraphy in the mansion leisurely.
It wasn't until Guo Wencheng got drunk that Lin Aoxue changed the mistress to tidy up the room, carried Guo Wencheng to bed, then left and went back to her room, thinking about what was going on in Beijing, and fell asleep without knowing it.
Since returning to the capital and parting with Yunyan outside the inn after carrying out the mission that day, Lin Aoxue has never looked for Yunyan again, and Yunyan has never come to look for Lin Aoxue. They returned to the time when they didn't know each other very much at first, but they were a little different.
The feeling of guilt and pain in Lin Aoxue's heart was also buried in her heart bit by bit as time passed, but from time to time, it would suddenly come out from the bottom of her heart unexpectedly, making her temporarily absent-minded.
Seeing that the time for the army to dispatch was approaching, on this day, Lin Aoxue was practicing marksmanship in the backyard of the inn with a silver spear in hand. After finishing a set of dragon marksmanship, a thin layer of sweat broke out on Lin Aoxue's forehead. Her clothes were also soaked in sweat, she put away her silver gun, turned around and prepared to go back to her room to freshen up and change clothes.
As soon as he walked out of the courtyard gate, he saw a young servant waiting outside. Seeing Lin Aoxue come out, the young servant immediately stepped forward, stood still in front of Lin Aoxue, clasped his fists and made a long bow to Lin Aoxue:
"Lin Qianhu, the Princess is here to invite you."
Lin Aoxue paused, looking at the boy, a look of doubt flashed in her eyes.
Bei Chenling seldom looks for her. It has been nearly ten days since she was summoned to the palace last time. What's more, Beichenhe said that he was injured and refused to go to court, and also closed the gate of the palace. I don't know that Beichenling is suddenly looking for her at this time. , for what reason?
She said "later" to the boy, and then hurried back to the house by herself. She didn't have time to wash up, so she simply changed her clothes and didn't let the boy wait for too long. It took about half a cup of tea, and she After tidying up, he pushed open the door and walked out, followed the young man to the clan prince's mansion.
As she approached the gate of the palace, Lin Aoxue was still feeling emotional. She clearly remembered that the last time she met Bei Chenling here, the latter glanced at her coldly. His eyes were like knives, and she wished she could stab Lin Aoxue in the face. It is really strange to find a hole today.
Bei Chenling was the same as when she came to see Lin Aoxue last time, she was still sitting in the yard, the spring was warmer, the pear tree not only sprouted new buds, but also bloomed small snow-white flowers, looking from a distance, it looked like snow falling on the tips, exquisite and beautiful .
Presumably, the snow in the northern border should have melted by this time. Last year, at about this time, the barbarians went to Xingbei Pass to attack the city, and the first battle of spring started.
"Lin Aoxue pays homage to Her Majesty the Princess."
Lin Aoxue walked into the small courtyard. She hid all the ups and downs of her mood under a cold mask, and saluted Bei Chenling respectfully and accommodatingly.Bei Chenling had noticed her coming when she walked into the small courtyard, but it wasn't until she knelt down to salute that Bei Chenling raised her head, her eyes were still cold, and she lacked the easy-going meaning she saw in the courtyard that day .
Feeling Bei Chenling's cold gaze, Lin Aoxue felt baffled in her heart. She asked herself that she hadn't provoked Bei Chenling for no reason, why Bei Chenling's attitude towards her was so strange, it was so different from the last time they met, she really couldn't guess this The unfathomable woman's mind chose to stand aside without saying a word, obeying orders.
After a while, Bei Chenling said with a cold face:
"What have you been doing these days?"
Lin Aoxue became more and more inexplicable, she took a deep breath, bowed her head and answered:
"I have nothing to do, I'm recuperating at the inn. After the injury is recovered, I will start practicing martial arts."
"Have you ever left the inn?"
Bei Chenling asked again.
Lin Aoxue frowned, then let go, and replied:
"My lord will meet you next time, and for the rest of the time, I have never left the inn."
She wondered in her heart if something had happened that made Bei Chenling think that it was her who made the move, so she was brought here for interrogation.
After asking, Bei Chenling's face became even more ugly, Lin Aoxue was confused, and the silence lasted for about a few breaths, before Bei Chenling sighed and said:
"If you are free, go to Yanyu Building to have a look."
After a long time, she finally said this sentence.Lin Aoxue was taken aback for a moment, then raised her head abruptly, and looked at Bei Chenling with puzzled eyes.
It must have something to do with Yunyan for Bei Chenling to say such words. Lin Aoxue's heart, which took nearly ten days to calm down, jumped violently again when Bei Chenling said this sentence.She pursed her lips tightly, with a puzzled expression on her face, hoping that Bei Chenling could speak clearly.
Unexpectedly, Bei Chenling waved her hand after saying this, indicating that she could leave, Lin Aoxue was even more confused.
Did Bei Chenling call her over just to say such a word to her?
Lin Aoxue bowed and saluted inexplicably, then turned around and walked out of the courtyard, Bei Chenling sat on the stone bench, the pages of the book in her hands had not been turned for a long time, until Lin Aoxue's figure completely disappeared, she raised her head again, He glanced in the direction where Lin Aoxue was leaving, and then sighed helplessly:
"Why is this..."
The people who defended Yunyan in every possible way at the beginning, now they don't hear anything outside the window, and they have never even cared about Yunyan.
Bei Chenling felt it was not worth it for Yunyan.
When Lin Aoxue came out of the palace, she kept recalling the brief conversation Bei Chenling had just had with her in her mind. Her heart beat faster and faster, and her doubts became deeper and deeper.Why did Bei Chenling call her to the palace just to say this to her? What happened to Yunyan?
But, how could something happen to a woman as powerful as Yunyan?
While thinking in confusion, Lin Aoxue walked aimlessly through the bustling streets. Finally, when she passed the intersection outside the Yanyu Building, she heard the familiar sound of piano music again.
The sound of the piano is continuous, the lingering sound is mellow, ups and downs, and even the scholars outside the building listening to the couplets are also emotionally turbulent and intoxicated by it.
Lin Aoxue stopped on the street. She raised her head and looked in the direction of the Misty Rain Building. She saw a person sitting on the piano platform on the second floor among the pavilions and pavilions. Although she couldn't see clearly from such a long distance, , but Lin Aoxue knew in her heart that the girl sitting on the piano platform playing the piano should be Yunyan.
Her mood was very complicated, her heart was dull and painful, the feeling after getting off the carriage that day seemed to rise from the bottom of her heart again, lingering in her heart, making her breathing heavy and full of burden .
She really wanted to go over and take another look at a closer place, but she also felt that it might be best to keep such a short distance between her and Yunyan.
Lin Aoxue stood on the street for a long time, and the pedestrians who came and went kept looking at her.
She gritted her teeth, and finally turned around, ready to leave.
But at the moment when she turned around and was about to leave, the sound of the piano music behind her stopped abruptly, interspersed with the crisp sound of strings cracking.Lin Aoxue's footsteps stopped, a bad premonition suddenly rose in her heart, she immediately turned around quickly, looked back, and saw the woman in the qin platform, her body softened, and fell on the qin platform.
All the scholars in the audience were in an uproar, Lin Aoxue was suffocated, and felt that her heartbeat seemed to stop along with the broken piano sound at this moment, and panic and uneasiness suddenly appeared in her heart, which stimulated her mind and made her in the next moment, He made a move that went against his original choice.
She didn't care about any rational choices, didn't care about all kinds of suspicions and contradictions between them because of their disagreement, and finally rushed to the Yanyu Building at a speed exceeding her usual level. Go to the piano stand.
Yun Yan fell to the ground, her face as white as paper, the broken strings punctured her fingers, and drops of blood continued along the body of the piano to the ground beside Yun Yan's body.
Lin Aoxue stood there in a daze, she felt as if a string in her mind had snapped, there was a noisy sound from the building, and a servant ran up from downstairs, intending to see what was happening on the piano platform. what.
Lin Aoxue strode out, before the servant from Yanyu Building arrived, she hugged Yunyan into her arms, she probed Yunyan's breath with trembling hands, until her fingertips touched the weak but continuous breathing, Lin Aoxue Only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
She felt that her legs and feet were a little weak, and she was glad that Yunyan just fell into a coma and did not die suddenly.
Lin Aoxue stood up with Yunyan in her arms, ignored the loud yelling of the servants in the Yanyu Building, and left the Yanyu Building directly.She didn't know why Yunyan became like this, but she subconsciously thought of taking Yunyan to see a doctor.
Doctors can't heal themselves, even though Yunyan's medical skills are superb, she is in a coma at the moment, but she can't prescribe the right medicine for herself anyway.
Lin Aoxue rushed into the nearest medical clinic with Yunyan in her arms, and anxiously and panickedly called the doctor in the clinic to give Yunyan a pulse diagnosis.
Lin Aoxue wore a half-mask on her face, describing it as fierce and evil, and startled the clerks in the pharmacy. Fortunately, the old doctor was quite calm after seeing life and death in strong winds and waves, and signaled Lin Aoxue to put Yunyan in the hall. chair, came over with a medicine box.
The old doctor has rich experience, he roughly checked Yunyan's pulse, and then frowned, seeing that Lin Aoxue's heart was trembling, when the doctor raised his head, Lin Aoxue took the initiative to go over and asked:
"Doctor, how is she?"
The old doctor frowned tightly and asked:
"Is she your wife?"
When Lin Aoxue heard this, she almost lost her temper, but she still tried her best to keep calm, and retorted with a calm face:
"She's my sister."
The old doctor understood and didn't ask any more questions, but there was a trace of complaint in his eyes:
"Your sister has suffered such a serious injury, why is there no one to take care of her? She has inflammation due to the injury, and she has suffered from the wind and cold. She needs to rest for a while to recover. I will prescribe some medicine for you. She will go back, decoct it in the morning and evening, and take good care of it."
Lin Aoxue fell into a daze after hearing the old doctor's words. She took the prescription prescribed by the old doctor in a daze, and went to pay for the medicine in a daze. Her mind was in a mess from the beginning to the end until she got the medicine. After that, she hugged Yunyan and returned to Yunyan's small house as quickly as possible.
Lin Aoxue took the key from Yunyan's waist, unlocked the door, pushed open the gate of the house, carried Yunyan back to the bedroom, and placed her on the bed.
She checked Yunyan's condition carefully, spread out the quilt on the bed, and covered Yunyan.Afterwards, she took another pack of medicine and fried it on the fire in the kitchen. Only then did Lin Aoxue free herself to think about what the old doctor said just now.
Yunyan was injured, the injury was very serious, and it even caused inflammation, and fell into a coma due to the cold.
Why is she hurt?
Such a question came to Lin Aoxue's mind. She recalled the inexplicable attitude and half-spoken words when Bei Chenling came to her today.Lin Aoxue gritted her teeth, her mood was turbulent, and she put the medicine on the fire. She was worried that Yunyan would wake up halfway, so she hurried back to the room.
Yunyan's cheeks were blushing, Lin Aoxue walked over, put the back of her hand on Yunyan's cheeks and probed, immediately she frowned solemnly, Yunyan felt a fever.
Lin Aoxue's heart was complicated. She had been injured in the past, and she had fallen into such a situation several times. Because of the severity of the injury, she developed a fever, was covered in cold sweat, and trembled continuously. If Yunyan hadn't treated her in time, she would have fallen into a coma. root cause.
She turned around and went out to fetch a basin of cold water and came back, soaked a towel in the water, and wiped Yunyan's cheeks and arms for Yunyan. Yunyan had taken care of her more than once before, but now she changed her identity, and she took care of Yunyan who was seriously ill.
At this time, Yunyan's face was pale and she looked extremely weak. She fell into a coma, her eyes were closed tightly, but her eyelids were trembling unceasingly, as if she had been haunted by a nightmare. Her expression was flustered and painful, which made Lin Aoxue's heart tremble. The ground hurts.
She wiped Yun Yan's cheeks more frequently, but in the process, she found a layer of cold sweat on Yun Yan's body, which wetted her clothes.She recalled that when Yunyan took care of her, she would change her clothes first when encountering such a situation, otherwise the moisture from the cold sweat would invade the body together with the cold, which would cause extremely troublesome cold symptoms.
Lin Aoxue was in trouble at this time, she had never helped someone change clothes, let alone this person was still Yun Yan.
She hesitated for a long time, and finally was overwhelmed by the worry that Yunyan's typhoid fever would worsen. She turned around and found a set of clean underwear from the cabinet where Yunyan stacked her clothes, went back to the bed, and lifted the quilt , intending to take off Yunyan's clothes first.
But just as she pushed off Yunyan's collar, her hands stopped suddenly. Lin Aoxue's pupils shrank suddenly, and she stared intently at Yunyan's half-opened neckline. A small section of extremely ferocious blue-purple whip marks.
Lin Aoxue clenched her fists violently, her hands began to tremble uncontrollably, she gritted her teeth hard, and carefully unbuttoned Yunyan's shirt, she flicked the collar lightly, the injury on her shoulder and back showed more clearly In front of Lin Aoxue's eyes, the welt stretched along the shoulder, and finally carved a scabbed, bright red mark on Yunyan's back.
Lin Aoxue stared wide-eyed at the whip marks on Yunyan's back in all directions, her eyes were about to burst.
She never thought that she would see such serious injuries and so many whip marks on Yun Yan's body. Even if Lin Aoxue had practiced martial arts all year round and had a solid foundation, if she forcibly endured so many whips, she would definitely fall down for several years. Can't get up every day, let alone a delicate and frail girl like Yunyan? !
In Lin Aoxue's heart, a surge of anger almost broke through the zenith, making her want to kill and set fire recklessly, in order to seek justice for Yunyan.
This looks like the trace left by the torture equipment. Who hurt her, and why did she hurt her?
Lin Aoxue was holding back an indescribable anger, her whole heart was twitching and trembling, she was so distressed that she almost suffocated, these welts fell on Yunyan's white skin, so glaring, she wished she could replace her with her own body .
She rummaged through boxes and cabinets in the house to find the wound medicine that Yunyan had given her earlier, and then carefully and quickly took off Yunyan's clothes.
Her movements were very gentle, lest too much force would make the welts more painful.
Gritting her teeth, Lin Aoxue applied the wound medicine to the welt marks on Yunyan's back, then redressed her, pulled up the quilt, and covered Yunyan carefully.
After a long delay, Lin Aoxue suddenly remembered that she had set up the stove to decoct the medicine. She jumped up in a hurry and ran back to the kitchen. , making a sound.
Lin Aoxue hurried over, because she was anxious, she subconsciously reached out to remove the lid of the medicine jar, but was scalded by the scorching airflow, Lin Aoxue's face twisted in pain, she withdrew her hand like an electric shock, and stuck her two fingers on her earlobe After going up and down to cool down, I learned my lesson, took a cotton napkin soaked in cold water from the side, pressed it on the lid, and uncovered it.
Lin Aoxue estimated in her heart when the medicine would be ready. She glanced at the soup medicine in the medicine pot, then closed the lid again, took a cattail fan over, and added two winds to the charcoal fire in the stove to make the fire burn brightly. Some.
She stood by the stove, and when the soup was ready, she filled a pottery bowl and walked towards Yunyan's bedroom with it in her hand.
Lin Aoxue gently pushed open the door, but when she stepped into the room with one foot, her whole body froze.
Yun Yan had woken up at some point, she heard movement at the door, and tilted her head with difficulty, just happened to see Lin Aoxue holding the medicine bowl in one hand, and pushing the door open with the other, acting furtively, like A thief who steals.
Yun Yan blinked her eyes to confirm that she was not mistaken, and suddenly there was a smile in her eyes, this person is a thief, a thief who steals his heart.
The author has something to say: the trip to the capital is coming to an end, and he is going back to the north to fight again!
