Huang Chenling was speechless. The liar must have done something in the water. Since Xiaoling believed it now, if she continued to persuade him now, it would only be in vain.
"Anyway, you can't promise him. If he sends people to arrest you again, you must hide."
"I know." Xiao Ling nodded and said.
The next morning, Yan Ruocheng slept soundly. When Zhao woke up, he thought Huang Chenling was sleeping in the middle again, but it was not Xiaoling.
Xiao Ling wore a red rope chain around her neck, with a dragon-patterned jasper hanging from it. She probably fell asleep last night, and Huang Chenling put it on for him.
She got out of bed quietly, changed her clothes, and hurriedly looked for Huang Chenling. She had a premonition that he had quietly returned to the palace.
An arrow rushed out, like a fierce bull, and knocked a person away. The person was thrown to the ground like a dog.
"Oops! Where are you going to rush to without your eyes so early in the morning!" Huang Chenling lay on the ground and vomited.
"I thought you had left." Yan Ruocheng pulled him up and said.
"I plan to leave, but I have to tell you something before I leave." Huang Chenling patted the dust on her knees and said.
"What's the matter?" Yan Ruocheng asked.
"Let's talk about it when we get to the pavilion." Huang Chenling took her over to the pavilion.
The two of them sat on stone benches and spoke slowly.
"Last night, I had a chat with Xiaoling and found out that he had been kidnapped, and the person who kidnapped him actually pretended to be his biological father, causing Xiaoling to believe that person's words." Huang Chenling said directly.
Yan Ruozhen touched her chin and recalled that after Xiaoling was kidnapped, there was indeed something hidden from her when she came back. She almost forgot about it. Now that Huang Chenling said this, there must be something fishy.
.
"Who is pretending to be his father, and what is the purpose?"
"I think it should be Xiulin. Xiaoling has described that person as having a figure similar to yours, so he must be a woman disguised as a man. Then I used a bowl of water with alum added, and some kind of trick of blood identification, so that's how it is.
"
"She wants to take advantage of my Xiaoling? She has clearly promised not to interfere with me and Xiaoling anymore, but why does she always go back on her word?" Yan Ruocheng said angrily.
"No, there must be difficulties this time. I remember that the eldest uncle said that he wanted me to establish a concubine. I guess Xiulin knew about it and came up with this plan. He wanted Xiaoling to be recalled to the palace and treated as her
However, she didn't seem to force Xiaoling, so she let him come back to consider." Huang Chenling said analytically.
After hearing this, Yan Ruozhen slapped the table and said angrily: "I don't care what reasons she has, how dare she lie to my Xiaoling like this! And you can't make the decision yourself whether you want to have a concubine or not?"
You still have to let your great uncle dictate what you do. He has too much control!"
"Be careful and don't get angry first. I've asked Xiaoling to wear my jade pendant. Seeing the jade pendant is like seeing me. If Xiulin kidnaps Xiaoling next time, she won't mess around when she sees this jade pendant." Huang
Chen Ling said.
"There will be a next time! I can't tolerate it even once. If she still dares to send people here, I will never be done with her! You go and hit the wall too!" Yan Ruocheng said angrily.
"It's not like I took my anger out on you, why did you even scold me?" Huang Chenling stood up, walked to her side, took out another red rope and put it in her hand.
It's really just an ordinary red rope, and it's very thin.
"This is the marriage line between you and me. I hope you hold it to represent the two of us. Even after you pretend to get married, you can't let it go. I'm worried that you will really let it go one day. At that time
, I really don’t forgive you." Huang Chenling said slowly.
"It sounds like you are the victim. It is obvious that the victim is me and His Highness. The plan to fake the marriage was yours. His Highness has asked me time and time again if I am going to regret it, and even advised me to do so.
I think twice. It was because of my own selfishness that I didn't insist on persisting to the end. Well, in the final analysis, both of us are selfish." Yan Ruocheng lay on the table as he spoke and continued talking listlessly.
"Okay, I know it's selfish. There is no fairness in emotional matters. Moreover, it's just a cover up with all kinds of lies. In short, you have to remember that you are just pretending to get married, just to take care of the emperor's brother. The bridal chamber is absolutely
No!" Huang Chenling got to the point.
"knew."
Huang Chenling tied the red rope around her right wrist and said, "You are not allowed to untie it. It can only be untied by me."
Yan Ruocheng flattened his lips and said, "You asked me to go to His Highness yesterday, and I thought you didn't care anymore. It seems I thought too much."
Huang Chenling hit her on the head and said, "Of course I'm overthinking it. Do you want me to be in front of Xiaoling? I'm very reluctant to let you go. Of course I asked you to go over as if nothing happened. Fortunately, your reaction was quite natural."
"
Yan Ruozhen smiled, but Huang Chenling felt that she didn't have anything to give him, so she reminded him, "I gave you the red thread, do you have something to give me?"
Yan Ruocheng scratched his head, scratched out some dandruff, and said jokingly: "Do you want my dandruff?"
This joke is to usher in his iron fist, bang!
"Ouch, it hurts!"
"snort!"
Huang Chenling crossed her arms, pretending to be angry.
Yan Ruocheng searched the hidden compartment of his clothes and found only a pack of itching powder.
Put it on his hand and said: "Just have it, a pack of itching powder, it represents me. If I don't tease you for a day, your body will itch. I guess no woman in the world would give this to me."
your."
Huang Chenling suppressed her smile and said, "There are no women in the world who are as stingy as you, so they can give away this kind of thing. And you say it so nicely."
"Don't forget it." Yan Ruocheng wanted to take it back.
"Who says not to use it? It's best to use it for self-defense." Huang Chenling had already hidden it on her body.
At noon, after Huang Chenling had dinner with Huang Shenhuang and Huang Fengmo, they took a carriage back to the palace. Yan Ruocheng took Xiaoling to the street to buy candied haws, and watched him go back on the way to the carriage.
"Mom, what's so good about that carriage? You just kept looking at it." Xiao Ling asked while eating candied haws.
"That's the carriage that Uncle Chen is riding in. Please wave and say goodbye." Yan Ruocheng said calmly.
"The carriage has gone very far, and we probably can't be seen." Xiao Ling waved and said.
As the carriage passed a crossroads, a man riding a black horse hit the carriage, causing it to overturn.
Huang Chenling fell upside down in the carriage and didn't know what happened.
Qing Qiufeng comforted his frightened black horse, and hurriedly dismounted to save others and apologize.
When Yan Ruozhen saw this, he hugged Xiao Ling and ran over worriedly.
Huang Chenling climbed out of the carriage, safe and sound, but a little dizzy.
"Sir, are you okay? My horse was frightened just now and accidentally bumped into it. I'm really sorry." Qing Qiufeng quickly lowered his head and apologized.
"Your horse? Is it a cow? Is it so powerful?" Huang Chenling took a look at the figure of this black horse. It had well-developed limbs and was undoubtedly a strong man among horses.
"I just bought it. It's a wild horse. I saw how strong it was, so I bought it. I didn't expect such an accident. I will be responsible for the damage to your carriage." Qing Qiufeng
Say it responsibly.
"Chen Ling! How are you? Are you injured anywhere?" Yan Ruocheng ran over just now, checking his whole body worriedly.
"It's okay, don't worry." Huang Chenling patted her head and said.
"Uncle Chen, you are really unlucky! In an instant, the carriage you were riding in was hit by his black horse. It is simply unbelievable." Xiao Ling said.
"Hey, Xiaoling, are you here to laugh at me?" Huang Chenling said with a smile.
"That's not true." Xiao Ling smiled.
"Are you Miss Yan?" Qing Qiufeng asked as she didn't quite recognize her, so she got closer to see her more clearly.
Yan Ruocheng turned his head, looked at Qing Qiufeng, and said, "It turns out to be Brother Qing. Long time no see."
"Is it really you? Why do you have a veil around your face? I almost can't recognize you." Qing Qiufeng asked in confusion.
Yan Ruozhen quickly wrapped the veil more tightly and explained: "My face was injured and it's too scary now, so I wrapped it around it."
"My mother is not scary. Uncle, don't discriminate against my mother like this." Xiaoling protected Yan Ruocheng and said to Qing Qiufeng.
"This is your son. He is really cute. I will not discriminate against your mother. I am also a doctor. Maybe I have a way to cure her." Qing Qiufeng said to Xiaoling.
"Really?" Xiao Ling asked happily.
"Well. I want to help your mother check the wound and decide whether it can be treated." After Qing Qiufeng told Xiaoling, she said to Yan Ruocheng: "Why don't we sit down at a nearby inn and talk slowly?
Come on. I'm treating you."
"Okay, let's go to the inn over there for a cup of tea." Huang Chenling was the first to agree. Anyway, it would take some time to get the carriage right.
"Okay." Yan Ruocheng followed.
So, several people arrived at the inn.
Qing Qiufeng generously booked a large room to receive them.
The waiter came in with some good tea and poured a cup for each of them. Xiao Ling just lay on the bed and played by herself.
"Brother Qing, why are you here?" Yan Ruocheng asked.
"I just came here to buy horses. A businessman told me that the horses here are very strong and can run thousands of miles in a day. I didn't expect to meet you." Qing Qiufeng explained.
"The world is so small sometimes. Hahaha." Yan Ruocheng sipped her tea and said with a smile.
Huang Chenling stared at the two of them talking and laughing. It seemed that Yan Ruocheng had made another friend while he was away. He was also a man.
"What do you call this young master?" Qing Qiufeng asked.
"My surname is Huang, my given name is Chenling. Where are you?" Huang Chenling asked back.
"My name is Qiu Feng and my surname is Qing. Please give me your advice. Mr. Huang, I'm really sorry for crashing your carriage just now!" Qing Qiufeng sincerely apologized again.
"No need to apologize, the groom has already taken it to repair, it's okay." Huang Chenling said generously.
