Su Jingyang actually got some information about Lingli from Ronghua's narration, that is, he will die of illness in the future. Su Jingyang carefully calculated an approximate date, and Lingli estimated that he would live to be almost seventy years old.
Hearing about Lingli's life and death at first, Su Jingyang couldn't help feeling astringent, but then he thought, after all, everyone will die, and Lingli's life to seventy years old is considered a long life in ancient times. Thinking of this made me feel a little better.
While waiting for news from Rong Hua, Su Jingyang and Rong Ci often took the two children out for a walk in the garden, and once met Rong Xia. Su Jingyang almost forgot the existence of this child, and was stunned when he saw him.
Rong Xia passed by with two books in her hand, her little face was expressionless, she looked much calmer and quieter than before, and she also lost some of the innocence of a child. After seeing them, Rong Xia stopped and greeted them politely before leaving.
Rong Ci noticed Su Jingyang's complex expression, and told him that Rong Xia knew his life experience now, and Su Jingyang understood, "No wonder he looks like this now...it's quite pitiful."
Rong Ci hummed, and said: "The children without mothers are pitiful."
"..." Su Jingyang glanced at Ayu who was moaning in his arms, feeling suffocated.
A Xi was holding Rong Ci's finger and gnawed, Su Jingyang saw the small scars on Rong Ci's hand again, all of which were newly added recently, Su Jingyang couldn't help asking him: "It's been so long, this one of yours Does the formation require blood every day?"
Rong Ci blinked, looked at him and smiled, "The matter is of great importance, a little blood is nothing."
"I always feel weird." Su Jingyang became more and more suspicious, stared at him for a while, and then said: "Rong Ci, tell the truth, are you doing something secretly?"
Rong Ci withdrew his finger that was full of Axi's saliva, and said with a smile that was not a smile: "What can I do? No matter what I do, can I escape your eyes? Hey, look over there, Here comes the messenger."
Su Jingyang looked in his direction, and sure enough, he saw someone delivering a letter, so he was interrupted, and he forgot to ask him later.
The letter was from Ronghua, saying that some things were delayed, and they were asked to go first, and chase them after he was done with it. Although Rong Hua didn't specify what it was, Su Jingyang could vaguely guess that it should have something to do with Ming Jiasheng.
Su Jingyang really hopes that Ronghua can find someone who is wholeheartedly good to him, instead of wasting his life because of Ming Jiasheng's pain. Ming Jiasheng's mistakes really don't deserve to be forgiven.
Yongning Hall.
Lingli was tired from reading, so he got up and prepared to rest on the couch for a while. After pregnancy, he always felt sleepy. Under the service of the maid, she loosened her hair, took off her outer shirt, and before she could lie down, someone notified that the crown prince was coming. Ling Li put on his clothes again and waited for him to come in.
A Xuan greeted Ling Li first, then sat down next to him, and said to him with bright eyes: "My son came out of the palace this time and met a strange man in the world. People can laugh when they see him."
Lingli couldn't help laughing, "Is there really such a person?"
"Really! I think he is quite capable, so I brought him into the palace, so that the queen father can also be happy." A Xuan shook Lingli's arm and said: "I call him in at this time. it is good?"
Lingli agreed, and just as someone was arranging his hair and clothes, Ah Xuan clapped his hands, a head popped out from the door of the bedroom, and a clear and clear voice with a smile said: "Then I'm in."
This familiar voice... Ling Li's body trembled, and under A Xuan's cheerful gaze, he turned his head suddenly in disbelief, just in time to see the person walking over.
Lingli felt as if he was dreaming, he held his breath, he did not dare to blink his eyes as he watched the person coming, for fear that if he blinked, the picture in front of him would be shattered.
The man walked in front of him, saluted him, stared at him with bright black eyes, and asked softly: "Empress Empress, I don't know if the big change I am performing is still in my mind?"
Rong Ci was led to the martial arts field by the guards. Ming Zhan was practicing archery. He was wearing a crimson narrow-sleeved military uniform.
He looked back at Rong Ci and said, "Come here for a comparison."
Rong Ci raised the corner of his mouth and smiled wantonly, and stepped forward happily, "Okay, how do you compare?"
They compare moving arrows to see who gets more shots. After three rounds, Rongci was slightly better.
Ming Zhan looked at Rong Ci with black eyes and said: "Master Rong, you shot well. Now in the inner courtyard of the palace, only you dare to beat me."
Rong Ci said: "I only won one arrow, and His Majesty shot it very well."
After flattering each other, the two looked at each other and smiled for a moment. Ming Zhan looked away first, changed his clothes, and drank tea with Rong Ci. It happened that someone came to report to Ming Zhan that the empress would not have dinner with him later.
Ming Zhan's face froze, and he said lightly, "I knew I would do this to me."
Looking at Rong Ci with dark eyes, Ming Zhan said in a slow voice with deep meaning: "Master Rong, we all have to pay attention, beware of fire in the inner courtyard."
Ming Zhan used to write letters to Lingli who was still in Rongcheng very frequently. Every time he eagerly waited for a reply, but that reply...not to say that the writing was perfunctory, but Ming Zhan could see some traces of hard work. Although a little disappointed, he thought he was not good at these words.
But a few days ago, when Ming Zhan saw that Lingli was overjoyed after receiving Su Jingyang's letter, and immediately went to the desk and wrote several pages with emotion and sincerity, he realized the difference in treatment, and he felt a little bit unavoidable. Divide is not taste.
Rong Ci knew what Ming Zhan was talking about, put down the teacup, and said in a tone that he had already looked away: "If it weren't for the two of us, they would definitely live together for the rest of their lives." Rong Ci whispered again: "Actually, it's quite enviable to be able to maintain such a pure and special affection. Let them go."
Ming Zhan snorted coldly, but didn't say anything against it.
Rong Ci lowered his head and took a sip of tea, pondered for a while and then asked: "I heard that Ling Li is pregnant?"
Ming Zhan stopped tapping his fingers on the table, raised his eyes to look at him for a moment, and there was a flash of coldness in his eyes, "Just say what you want to say."
Rong Ci met his eyes, took a deep look at him, and said, "I know, there are some things that you can't hide from you... But since you love him and understand him, you should understand and understand his fear and anxiety at that time." State of mind, it is better to talk to each other frankly, so as not to hide for a long time, but become a knot in the heart instead."
"You care about my queen." Ming Zhan said, "But you don't need to remind me, there will be no ties between us."
Lingli didn't want that child at the time, and always wanted to escape. Ming Zhan knew that it was related to the fact that he mercilessly killed Qin Yu, his personal guard who had followed him for many years. Lingli was afraid that he would end up in the same miserable end as Qin Yu.
Qin Yu was loyal and planned everything for him, but his mistake was that he should not have made his own opinion, and tried to hide it from the world, leaving him in the dark with a feeling of being calculated, completely betraying and destroying all his trust.
How trusting he was, how angry he was at the time.
Ming Zhan hated this very much. It's just that today, he will no longer be young and impulsive to kill, but will have other arrangements, such as the disposal of Song Hui. Ming Zhan punished him because he concealed the truth and did not report it. As expected, Lingli pleaded with him. After the punishment, Ming Zhan put Song Hui next to Lingli as the chief guard, and talked with him for half the night. , and finally told him that the matter would not be mentioned in the future.
There was a little surprise in Rong Ci's pupils, and he smiled: "It seems that I am worrying too much."
Ming Zhan sneered, "Emperors of the Ming family are short-lived. If I continue to talk about old things with him endlessly, I'm afraid I won't be happy for a few days. As long as he is willing to stay by my side, I will be safe and sound." Protect him for the rest of his life, and the other past will be over, and I'm not a completely unreasonable person." Ming Zhan snorted again: "You see, he's going back on his word and won't eat with me, did I say anything?"
Rong Ci raised his teacup at him, raised his eyebrows, "Your Majesty, how about I accompany you?"
The corner of Ming Zhan's mouth twitched, "It's okay."
Su Jingyang touched Lingli's protruding belly with his hands, and saw that his complexion was rosy, his brows were gentle and smiling, and the soothing and gentle aura exuding from his body showed that he was well taken care of, so he felt relieved.
Ling Li stared at him intently, the surprise in his eyes still hadn't dissipated, and sat face to face with him, took his hand and asked, "Didn't you say that you will come after the two children are a year old?"
"I want to give you a surprise. Did it surprise you?" Su Jingyang tilted his head and smiled brightly at him, and Lingli nodded vigorously, "I'm really happy. Wait a long time."
Ling Li raised his hand to touch his face again, and couldn't help laughing, "You are tanned."
Su Jingyang laughed. They came to Jincheng and brought their two children with them, because the two children couldn't stay in the carriage for half a day, and they had to stop from time to time to let the wind and play. It was still very strong, Su Jing often took the children to play outside, his skin would turn dark without sun exposure. Along the way, Rong Ci changed his name from his name to "Black Pi", and said that his eyes turned dark when he saw him, which really pissed him off.
In fact, Su Jingyang didn't feel that he was particularly dark, wheat-colored, and super healthy! Su Jingyang despises Rongci and doesn't know how to appreciate it.
Lingli asked him why he didn't see the two children, Su Jingyang said: "When we left, they both fell asleep, and I will hold them for you to see later."
Lingli nodded, "Okay."
Lingli wanted to grab his other hand, but when he glanced casually, he found that the mole on the palm of his hand had turned darker. After a moment of loss of speech, he raised his eyes to look at him, hesitant to say: "Jingyang, you..."
"Alas, I was seen by you, and I wanted to tell you." Su Jingyang said: "It's just over a month."
This child was conceived on the way to Jincheng. When Su Jingyang found out, he was stunned for a while, and there was no need to react. Compared with the unacceptable shock at the first time, he now thinks that this child is a resignation, and he can calm himself down a little.
Lingli stared at him quietly without saying a word, Su Jingyang held his hand back, and though he was smiling when he bent his eyes, Lingli saw some tears flickering in his eyes.
Su Jingyang's lips trembled slightly, and then he said in a low voice: "A Li, thank you. Thank you for everything you have done for me. It's just... I may not be able to go back for the time being."
Lingli felt the warmth of his palm, and the looseness and tension that seemed to be expressing something. He was dazed for a moment, and suddenly understood why he said all of a sudden, his eyes widened slightly, and just about to speak, Su Jingyang rushed worriedly. He shook his head slightly.
Lingli still spoke, he looked at Su Jingyang and said softly, "I'm fine now, you've seen it, right? Don't worry about me."
Before he could speak, Lingli continued softly: "Jingyang, you must remember that no matter what decision you make in the future, it will be because of your own heart, not because of me, do you understand? As long as you can be happy, you can be happy." , I deserve it all, and I will be happy for you."
Su Jingyang looked into his eyes as calm as autumn water, and instantly understood Lingli's meaning.
Lingli refers to going home because you want to go home, not just because you don't want to live up to what he has paid for him.
Su Jingyang's nose was sore, tears fell uncontrollably, he hugged him, buried his face on his shoulder and choked up, "I see, silly A Li..."
Afterwards, Su Jingyang went to the palace every five miles to accompany Lingli, and brought Axi and Ayu to show him. After he came, Lingli's mood brightened obviously, sometimes when he didn't go, Ming Zhan still came to pick him up.
There were two times when she saw Lingli and was really reluctant to part with her, so she asked him to stay and spend the night with Lingli in the Palace of Yongning.
Su Jingyang thought about it several times, and found that Ming Zhan was really different from Ming Jiasheng. He occasionally had a strange temper, but he was kind to Lingli wholeheartedly, and he loved Lingli in his words and deeds. Su Jingyang also met Lingli's nominal elder brother. Although it was only a short side, Su Jingyang felt that he was upright and upright, and he was respectful to Lingli but not lacking in closeness. It seemed that he really regarded Lingli as a relative. The younger brother treats it.
The stone in Su Jingyang's heart finally fell to the ground slightly.
Su Jingyang and Rong Ci finally stayed in Jincheng for more than a month, but they still didn't wait for Rong Hua's arrival. Su Jingyang went to the palace to bid farewell to Lingli Yiyi, made an appointment to see him again in the coming year, and then returned to Rongcheng with Rong Ci and their two children.
