When Ji Xili heard this, she didn't answer immediately. She just looked at Sheng Ling silently, and after a while she asked calmly: "Do you want to terminate the engagement unilaterally?"
Sheng Ling lowered her eyebrows and said, "Ruo Jin also promised me."
Ji Xili frowned, stood up and said, "Ask him to come into the palace and say it. This matter is not something the Queen Mother just agreed to. She has to listen to your father's wishes."
Sheng Ling nodded, "Okay."
"Ling'er..." Ji Xili frowned and sighed, slowly leaned down, looked at Sheng Ling and said softly: "Isn't General He good?"
"He is very good." Sheng Ling lowered his head and said hoarsely, "It's just that I can't love him."
Ji Xili looked at Sheng Ling. After a while, he raised his hand and touched her head and said helplessly, "Ling'er has grown up."
Sheng Ling raised her head, her eyes were a little red, she sniffed, and couldn't help but slowly lay in Ji Xili's arms.
She grew up. When she was very young, she always envied the world of adults. Now that she has grown up, she is afraid.
But no matter how scared she was, she couldn't escape.
Three days later, Sheng Ling and He Ruochen officially terminated their engagement and had no further relations.
That day, the two of them walked out of the palace quietly, with heavy snow in the sky surrounding them and the sound of cold wind.
Outside the palace gate, the princess's carriage was already waiting. Before getting on the carriage, Sheng Ling paused slightly. She half-closed her eyes, looking at the falling snowflakes in front of her, without looking back.
She stood in front of the carriage, biting her lips and trembling slightly. She seemed not sure whether she should say goodbye or not.
However, in the eyes of the people behind her, her figure was cold and cold, with no intention of turning around and looking back at him.
He Ruochen stood behind her and looked at her back quietly. After waiting for a long time, he finally laughed sadly. He bowed slightly and performed the most upright etiquette. He said: "Princess, please go slowly. I will take my leave."
Sheng Ling still had her back to him, biting her trembling lips a little hard, and let out a vague "hmm".
It wasn't until the sound of the horse's hooves faded away that Sheng Ling gradually regained consciousness. He raised his fingers to rub his red eyes and covered his mouth in an effort to suppress his short and irregular breathing.
She got on the carriage and told the people below to go home.
But what she didn't expect was that after arriving at the princess's mansion, as soon as she got off the carriage, she saw Ji Xiaoxiao and Wen Momo standing outside the mansion waiting eagerly. She didn't know when they came.
Sheng Ling looked at them and was stunned for a moment. Before he could wipe away his tears, he was hugged by the two of them.
When Ji was young, he hugged her and started scolding her: "Son of a bitch! Your wings are stiff, aren't they? You've been running for three months!"
Sheng Ling defended weakly: "No, less than three months."
"That's almost three months! Am I talking to you about two months or three months now? You bastard!" Ji Xiaoxiao was so angry that he grabbed her hand and slapped it twice!
"Don't hurt Ah Ling when she was little! Her eyes are red!"
"It didn't hurt me! I'm not that delicate!" Shengling saw Wen Momo in such a hurry and couldn't laugh or cry.
It was snowing heavily outside, and Sheng Ling was afraid that they would catch cold, so she quickly took them into the house.
After entering the house, Ji Xiaoxiao took a sip of tea as soon as he sat down on the chair in the courtyard, glanced at Sheng Ling and said, "Tell me honestly, what is going on..."
Wen Momo frowned and muttered: "Didn't you ask the Queen about everything..."
"I want to hear this bastard say it again with my own mouth." Ji Xiaoxiao snorted, obviously still angry.
Sheng Ling gave in, knowing that this time it was all his fault, so he honestly told them the whole story.
Although Ji Xiaoxiao had heard about this, she still felt heartbroken after hearing Sheng Ling tell the truth. After drinking the tea in one breath, she turned to Wen Momo and said, "Momo, I'm telling you, next time You should give A Ling a stupid name, I think you are much smarter than her."
Sheng Ling: "...the queen mother has already told me, and you still say..."
"I'm sure it's one thing for you to be stupid. Let us worry about you. Do you think you're angry or not?" Ji Xiaoxiao said angrily.
When Sheng Ling heard this, she immediately shut up.
She felt... what Ji Xiaoxiao said was... good...
"Okay, okay, it's okay now. Don't talk about Ah Ling again when you were little." Wen Momo was now very cautious, for fear of accidentally making Sheng Ling cry again.
Ji Xiao finally reluctantly said "hmm" and couldn't help but ask Sheng Ling about another matter, "A Ling, have you really terminated your engagement with General He?"
"Well..." Sheng Ling lowered his eyes slightly and said, "I just... came back from the palace."
When Wen Momo heard this, she frowned and hesitated to speak, but before she could say anything, Ji Xiaoxiao patted the table and motioned her not to ask with his eyes. Although Wen Momo didn't know why she couldn't ask, But he still obeyed and shut up.
Ji Xiaoxiao didn't ask Sheng Ling why, he just walked over and patted her shoulder and said, "Okay, we will be fine from now on. You, after running for so long, Momo is now chasing you in the class. "
Wen Momo was unconvinced when she heard this, "I'm not stupid, isn't it normal to catch up with A Ling's class?"
"Yes, yes, who can be stupider than A Ling now?"
Sheng Ling laughed angrily, "Just wait, I will work hard later and I have to catch up with you!"
"Okay, I'll wait for you!" Ji Xiao raised his eyebrows and said.
Before leaving, Sheng Ling hesitated for a long time, but couldn't help but call Wen Momo and said that she had something to ask Wen Momo for help.
Ji Xiaoxiao asked doubtfully: "Is Wen Momo the only one who can help? Are you sure Momo is reliable?"
Wen Momo couldn't help but pretended to be angry and slapped Ji Xiao's hand with her paw, "I'm really angry, Xiao Xiao!"
Sheng Ling suppressed a laugh and said, "Unless you screamed at Jing Ling when you were little."
When Ji Xiaoxiao heard that he wanted Jing Ling's help, he shook his head without thinking, waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I don't have that ability."
Wen Momo, who had that kind of ability, raised her pointed chin with rare pride and said, "A-Ling, tell me what help you need from me. My brother loves me very much now. If I tell him, he will definitely agree."
Sheng Ling thought for a while and told them both about Li Yu being poisoned because of her. She pursed her lips and said: "The doctor there said that Li Yu won't live long, but... I don't believe it... Momo, I want to please Please help me beg Jing Ling to save his life..."
Wen Momo was slightly startled and said, "Although my brother is cold-tempered, he is very kind-hearted. I will tell him when I get back, don't worry too much."
"If Jing Ling agrees, Ah Ling, will you still go to Bell City?" Ji Xiaoxiao asked.
However, this time, Sheng Ling calmly shook his head and said without even thinking about it: "No, I will never go there in my life."
She agreed to He Ruoxin's offer.
Therefore, she will never go to Li Yu again in this life, let alone see him.
