Lin Wanyue escorted Li Xian and his party back to Yangguan City, her body was already extremely tired, and her heart was already broken!
The arrival of Li Xian brought Lin Wanyue a great surprise; even Lin Wanyue brought equal despair and hurt.
In Lin Wanyue's heart, the difference between her and Li Xian is not only in identity and status, but also in gender!
Lin Wanyue could work hard to climb up step by step, and sooner or later she would be worthy of Li Xian; but what about gender? How to cross, how to make up for it? !
In the past two years, whenever she thought of Li Xian, Lin Wanyue not only felt powerless and hopeless because the wedding was getting closer, but also because she was a woman but fell in love with women, and felt that her mind was extremely ugly and morbid.
But Lin Wanyue couldn't let go of Li Xian; and, the more she missed Li Xian, the more she would fall into self-entanglement and torture, which eventually formed a dead end in a vicious circle.
The scene where Li Zhong helped Li Xian off the carriage seemed normal, but it deeply hurt Lin Wanyue's humble and sensitive heart, and it finally became the last straw that broke her down.
Lin Wanyue was confused all the way, and finally returned to Yangguan City; after asking Li Mu for instructions, she returned to the Lin Mansion in the south of the city to rest.
"Uncle, this is the thousand-year-old ginseng and thousand-year-old ganoderma lucidum that Xian'er brought from the capital, and the four best... Royal doctor, let them show you later, you will be fine."
Li Xian looked at Li Mu's pale face and blue eyes, and felt a pain in her heart: Li Xian naturally knew the poison that Li Mu was poisoned with. Antidote, there will be no medicine stone to solve!
"Gentle Township" is the most tormenting chronic poison. Just like its name, the poisoned person can clearly feel that their physique is gradually weakening; their strength is getting smaller and smaller, and finally they become a powerless chicken A crippled man, until he is weak and dead!
Li Mu looked at his niece who looked sad, smiled comfortingly, patted her hand on his arm, but calmly said: "Silly girl, the uncle is "Gentle Township", I believe you can see it too Now, the toxins have penetrated into the deep, and the medicine stone is difficult to cure; now I can only rely on my own foundation. I don't need to say more, you all understand, right? If not, in a few months you will die. I’m about to get married, how could Your Majesty agree to you coming to the north to see me at this juncture?”
After Li Muqiang finished speaking, a series of coughs broke out. After a while, Li Mucai continued: "However, there is no other person in the northern border who knows about it except the military doctor. , this year's autumn harvest will be a tough battle, if this news spreads out, I'm afraid the army will be in chaos, ahem..."
Speaking of the emotional part, Li Mu coughed again uncontrollably. His pale face turned red, and he couldn't stop the coughing. Li Mu anxiously waved his hand towards Li Xian.
"Uncle... Xian'er already knows, you have to take care of yourself, Xian'er will help you sit down."
While coughing, Li Mu let Li Xian help him to sit down. After coughing for a while, he recovered. He took the cup that Li Xian handed over, took a sip, and let out a weak and emotional sigh.
Li Mu put down the water glass, lowered his voice and said apologetically to Li Xian, "It's uncle who is too naive, the last time you came here... The matter you mentioned, uncle should have agreed to you; later, he shouldn't have listened to you, and only sent There are so many people to escort you back! If you have any accident, how can I be right to your mother, my sister! It's okay... It's okay, Xian'er has good looks, hey... This Lin Feixing is a good seedling, background It's clean and tidy. I'll personally entrust him to fulfill your proposal that day for me. Uncle can last for a while. I also recommended Lin Feixing in my memorial. I hope that after my death... he can support it. From this northern region, I am relieved!"
As soon as Li Mu finished speaking, a discordant voice came from the door of the tent: "Commander... Dare to ask Commander Lin Feixing, where is General Lin now?"
It turned out that Li Zhong came in.
Although Li Zhong hated Lin Feixing, because the status of Pingyang Houfu in the Chu Wangfu was "shaky", Li Zhong fantasized about completing the mission of the Chu Prince and "recovering" his previous status in one fell swoop.
Therefore, after he settled down in Yangguan City, he went to look for Lin Feixing without even seeing Li Mu.
It's a pity that I couldn't find it after searching around, so I came to ask Li Mu.
As soon as Li Zhong entered the tent and saw Li Xian there, he smiled awkwardly and hurriedly saluted Li Mu: "Zhong'er sees my uncle, how is uncle feeling recently?"
As soon as the name came out, Li Mu's face became a little ugly: although the imperial decree for marriage had already been issued, and the wedding date was approaching; but his niece had not been there. It will damage the reputation of my niece!
Li Mu raised his eyes and looked at Li Xian, and seeing the latter's calm demeanor, his expression did not change.
"Uncle, you must take care of your health. Xian'er is very anxious after hearing that Cousin Xin found out about your situation. I believe General Pingdong and his wife will come to see you in the north soon."
A fatherly smile appeared on Li Mu's face. He nodded and said, "It's good that Xin'er is here. I just happen to have something for her to do."
Li Mu looked at Li Xian and knew that she deliberately changed her mind to give herself a step up; if it was Li Mu in the past, it might have been the case, but now Li Mu knew that time was short, and instead looked away a lot. , live more freely.
"Prince of the Marquis of Pingyang, I don't dare to be your uncle. Although the wedding date is approaching, Xian'er hasn't gotten married for a day, and we are not relatives for a day. Your uncle is really a little thoughtful, let's not set an example!"
Li Zhong's beautiful face turned red and white for a while, and in the end he could only apologize with his hands clasped together: "What the commander taught is that the younger generation was negligent."
"Hmph." Li Mu snorted coldly and continued, "This old man is not feeling well recently, and all the military affairs in the north have been handed over to Lin Feixing. He has been very busy these days, and he has not slept for three days; He went to rest at his home. If the prince wants to see him, he can go to the forest house in the south of the city to find him."
Although Li Mu was answering Li Zhong's question, he kept looking at Li Xian.
Li Xian understood the idea, and Li Mu said a few more homely things, and withdrew from the tent with Li Zhong.
"If the prince wants to go to the Lin Mansion in the south of the city, it is better for Ben Gong to accompany the prince; Ben Gong and General Lin are also old acquaintances, and I hope they can help the prince."
Li Zhong heard the words, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "If the princess is willing to accompany Zhong on this trip, it will be the best."
Li Xian looked at Li Zhong with bright eyes and a faint smile, and replied, "The prince is serious, it's still early, let's go now."
Chengnan Forest House
Li Xian and Li Zhong were sitting in the living room, and Yu Lu was waiting. Yu Xian opened the door and saw Li Xian's eyes flashing. He raised his hand to stop Hu Zi, who was about to report Lin Feixing, and asked, "Who are those two?"
Huzi scratched his head: "I don't know either, that... The girl said that she was an old friend of the master, and that son came with that girl."
After he finished speaking, Hu Zi's face turned red. He had never seen such a beautiful person in such a big age!
When Yu Xian heard Hu Zi say this, he immediately understood the joints, and stopped Hu Zi and said, "I heard that our master hasn't slept for three days and three nights! Should we as slaves be considerate of the master's body? ?"
Hu Zi listened in the fog, but still nodded and said, "Yes..."
"In that case, don't wake up the master first, why did you fall asleep for a while, you're tired! If it doesn't work, I'll have to lose my temper with you. Sister, I'm in a good mood today, so help me! I'll deal with it first. I'll see if I can ask them to come back another day, hide behind the tree, and if I wave your handkerchief at you, then go and wake up the master, how about it?"
"Ouch! Then thank you, Sister Yu Xian!"
Hu Zi slapped Yu Xian a thousand times with a wide-eyed smile, ran to the back of the tree with only one head exposed, and glared at Yu Xian.
Yu Xian smiled slightly and walked towards the living room.
"The two distinguished guests are here, the slave servant Yu Xian is the maid of the Lin House; the servant has already gone to invite the master, our master has been busy for a while, and I haven't slept a few days, I am afraid it will come later, please don't take offense. ."
After finishing talking, Yu Xian came to Yu Lu and whispered in Yu Lu's ear: "I saw the clothes of the two of them, they are extraordinary; how come you have two cups of tea empty, and go to the kitchen soon to warm up the tea. Bring it here!"
When Yu Lu heard what Yu Xian said, she was frightened and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen with the tray in hand.
"No wonder, no wonder!" Li Zhong waved his hand with a smile.
Li Xian put down the tea cup and asked casually, "I wonder what Mr. Lin is busy with?"
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Zhong. Li Zhong thought that Li Xian was helping him to find out information, and showed a grateful smile at Li Xian.
"Oh, I don't know the specific slaves, but it's spread all over the city of Yangguan. I see that the two of you seem to have come from afar, so let's talk about hearsay! A few days ago, our master received half a piece of military talisman from the north and went down. Three Orders..."
At that moment, Yu Xian gave a detailed account of Lin Wanyue's recent activities, almost answering whatever Li Xian asked.
After finishing speaking, Yu Xian looked at the sky outside and said apologetically to Li Zhong: "Don't blame this son! Recently, some unrelated strangers often come to the Lin Mansion, I am afraid that the master is annoying by those people; And recently, our master is really tired, and I asked the young master to wait."
Li Zhong immediately became vigilant and asked, "Dare to ask the girl... Who are there?"
"Oh, the slave is just a servant, but I can't remember so much. There is one who came today. Oh, with those big boxes and small boxes... When the slave was serving tea, I suddenly heard what it was called. Gong Jianfan… I don’t remember exactly.”
"Master Yong's mansion!" Li Zhong consciously lost his words and stopped talking.
Yu Xian smiled lightly, and hit Li Zhong with a thousand blessings: "Young master, don't be impatient, the servant will send someone to urge him."
After he finished speaking, Yu Xian walked out of the room and waved his handkerchief behind the tree. Hu Zi paced out from behind the tree in disappointment and ran towards Lin Wanyue's bedroom in a flash.
When Lin Wanyue appeared outside the living room door with a tired face on her face, Yu Xian was long gone; only Yu Lu was waiting by herself, and the steaming tea was just served, and everything was just right.
Lin Wanyue stood at the door and saw Li Xian, her heart ached and a little dazed; she was also in Shicai's dream...
Li Xian was sitting in the chair and looking at Lin Feixing; seeing him with an undisguised tired face and haggard expression, he stood still outside the door like a wooden stake, staring at herself stupidly, not knowing what to do. A bit of shyness. Thinking of what Yu Xian said just now, I found that in the past two years, this person has lived a lot harder than the newspapers reported. There was an unspeakable feeling in his heart, and the look in Lin Feixing's eyes became more complicated.
But Li Xian didn't realize that in just one day's effort, she had already "lost her normality" twice because of Lin Feixing.
