The mountain wind roared wildly beside my ears, a man and a horse galloped for a while, and a figure flashed quickly in the ancient forest beside me.
A hearty laugh came from afar: "Hahaha! Since His Highness has already accepted Pindao! Then Pindao will take the first step!"
Yu Fengjin immediately reined in his horse and came to an emergency stop. He squinted his eyes and looked into the hazy sky, only to see a black shadow dancing lightly among the treetops, and soon disappeared without a trace.
Yu Fengjin smiled faintly: "Taoist Priest is really good at this!"
"Your Highness, Your Highness?" Xu Daocheng's voice brought him back from his thoughts.
Yu Fengjin raised her eyes and looked at him: "What?"
Xu Daocheng asked with a smile: "Your Highness, are you going to stick to the blood letter like this? This may be a good opportunity to eradicate Wang Su! After all, him being the chief assistant is very dangerous for you!"
Yu Fengjin picked up a golden leaf and said quietly: "Wang Su has been able to get to where he is today. He can't be defeated by a blood letter. Moreover, now is not the time to attack him. If you move too early, you will easily scare the snake.
.”
Xu Daocheng looked at him and joked: "Looking at His Highness, he must have given up looking for her. But, are you prepared to hide here forever?"
Yu Fengjin fiddled with the fallen leaves in his hands and said indifferently: "It is not a bad thing to be an outsider and watch everything in the court with a cold eye. Moreover, I have been ordered to compile ancient books, so it is more convenient to live here and go to the palace."
Xu Daocheng chewed his teeth and said, "His Highness finally pushed Yan Rong to the position of commander of the Jinjia Guard. If he goes into seclusion, how will His Highness' subsequent plans be carried out?"
Yu Fengjin looked at him with a half-smile but asked without answering: "The Taoist Priest has always said that he wants to help me, so what good ideas do you have for me?"
Xu Daocheng laughed loudly and said: "With His Highness's intelligence and wisdom, His Highness must have thought of the strategies that Pindao can come up with. However, Pindao has one specialty that His Highness has never thought of!"
"Oh? Tell me." Yu Fengjin became interested.
Xu Daocheng said seriously: "Pin Dao's skill is naturally refining - elixir -!"
"Interesting." Yu Fengjin was startled for a moment, then raised the corners of his lips and smiled: "Emperor Yu has always been obsessed with Taoism, maybe you really are of some use!"
----------------------------------------
Tie Lin walked out of the hospital with a heavy heart, came to the horse, touched its mane, and sighed deeply.
"Your Highness still refuses to come back?" A sad voice came from behind.
Tie Lin suddenly looked back and saw Hua Fangyi, dressed in purple and with a haggard face, standing gracefully behind her, with a look of resentment in her beautiful eyes that were as bright as paint.
"Miss Fangyi..." Tie Lin didn't know what to say, so he could only take out the letter from his arms, lower his head and return it to her with both hands.
Seeing that the letter was still intact, Hua Fangyi felt complicated for a moment, and her big and bright eyes were filled with mist. After hesitating for a long time, she took the reply letter and tore it up in front of Tie Lin.
They were smashed into pieces and scattered in the air.
Although Tie Lin often hangs out with Yan Rong, he has not learned the art of coaxing women. Seeing Hua Fangyi's heartbroken look at this time, he can only persuade awkwardly: "Miss Fangyi, you, you too
Don't take it to heart. I think His Highness will be able to figure it out after a while."
"Did I really do something wrong?" Hua Fangyi slowly raised her eyes to look at him, with a look of reluctance on her face.
Tie Lin scratched his head and said: "After all, he is the prince, and we have to obey his orders..."
In Tie Lin's eyes, King Yi only has the status of his master. He never thinks too much, let alone imagines that he will be on an equal footing with his master. But for Hua Fangyi, King Yi was once her benefactor, and now he is a confidant.
It is possible to become a husband in the future, and the relationship is no longer a simple master-subordinate relationship.
Hua Fangyi smiled sadly and murmured: "We have already worshiped heaven and earth, but he said it wouldn't be counted. What happened that night was indeed my fault, but after so many years of relationship, he didn't even listen to my explanation.
Don’t you even want to give me a chance?”
Tie Lin sighed and said warmly: "The bride suddenly changed her bride on her wedding night.
, even for ordinary people, this matter would be a shameful and angry matter. No matter how good your highness is, it will not be easily passed in a day or two. You still have to be patient! "...
Hua Fangyi bit her lip and looked at the door of Lanruo Temple unwillingly, but she still didn't have the courage to walk in.
Tie Lin scratched his scalp and asked carefully: "It's getting late, how about... I'll take you back."
Hua Fangyi slowly shook her head and said softly: "No need. I'll go by myself."
Tie Lin sighed and had no choice but to get on his horse and go down the mountain alone. But Hua Fangyi turned around and walked up the mountain.
In the evening when the wind brings autumn, the mountains are heavy and yellow leaves are flying all over the mountains.
On a flat land in the forest, a cluster of dancing flames could be vaguely seen, reflecting a sad face. The charcoal fire crackled in the brazier, and the burning yellow paper was blown into the air and danced gracefully.
A tall and thin figure knelt lonely in front of a solitary grave. He gently touched the words on the stone tablet, then picked up a jar of wine and took a sip. Unfortunately, the strong wine in his mouth could not suppress the sadness in his heart.
The tears still rolled down.
The longing for his wife and the deep self-blame made Ruan Lang, who was already thin, even more skinny, with skinny cheeks, sunken eye sockets, and a gray complexion. In the past, he did not dare to drink more because of his wife, but now, he travels back and forth all day
Between the wine shop and the royal guard, he often got drunk.
He couldn't tell whether it was day or night, drunk or awake, and he wasn't even sure if he was still alive! However, he wished he could die like this - he hated himself for being so incompetent and weak.
There was no trace of his wife's body, leaving only a tomb, and he knew who the murderer was, but he could not kill his enemy with his hands, so he could only live in humility. If he had known that this day would happen, he would definitely not follow Wang Jing to Shengjing!
The evening wind blew through the woods, making a whimpering sound, which sounded more like a woman crying. Ruan Lang quickly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and stood up staggeringly, holding his knees.
When he raised his eyes, he saw a beautiful figure floating by the cliff not far away.
Ruan Lang shook his head, trying to wake himself up, and took a closer look under the pale moonlight - there was indeed a graceful woman standing on the edge of the cliff.
Ruan Lang couldn't help but be shocked: Could it be that she wanted to commit suicide?
Seeing the woman slowly walking towards the edge of the cliff, Ruan Lang couldn't help shouting: "Wait a minute!"
A cry of surprise rang out in the mountains and forests, and the tired birds left their nests one after another. The woman slowly turned her head, and the moonlight reflected her peerless face. Tears hung in the corners of her eyes and slowly fell to her lips. She actually looked like her dead wife.
Exactly the same!
Ruan Lang was horrified: Could it be that God took pity on him and knew that he missed him terribly, so he asked his wife to come back to see him?
He rubbed his eyes, looked up again, and found that everything was not a dream.
"Lan'er! Are you still alive?" Ruan Lang called his wife's nickname softly, his voice trembling slightly.
The woman was startled. After seeing the face of the visitor clearly, she asked carefully: "Master Ruan, is that you?"
Her soft voice failed to pull Ruan Lang out of his hallucination. He approached the woman step by step, chanting his wife's nickname over and over again.
Seeing him swaying as he walked and speaking slurred words, the woman frowned slightly and said, "My name is not Lan'er, you have mistaken me for the person!"
After months of living in the torment of longing, he had already lost his mind when he could see his lover again. Even if it was just a phantom or the ghost of his lover, he would rush forward without any scruples.
"You, what are you doing? Don't come over!" The woman was shocked and quickly stepped back. Suddenly there was a splashing sound under her feet, and the soil on her feet began to loosen and roll down.
"Help!" The woman turned pale with fear and shouted for help. But the more she struggled, the more soil fell from her feet.
Seeing that a life was about to disappear, Ruan Lang took a deep breath, strode over, hugged her and rolled her into the grass beside her.
The two hugged each other tightly and rolled several times in the grass before stopping.
As soon as the shock subsided, the woman found herself being held in Ruan Lang's arms. She couldn't help but screamed in surprise and hurriedly pushed him away. But Ruan Lang's drunkenness did not subside, so he just hugged her tightly and murmured: "Don't leave."
I, please!"
A "pop" sound and a slap made Ruan Lang wake up a little. He stared at the woman in front of him in a daze, and then he realized that the person in front of him was not his wife, but the proprietress of Xiaoxiang Villa.
He immediately let go of his hand and apologized repeatedly: "Yes, I'm sorry, I, I thought you were going to commit suicide by jumping off a cliff!"
"What does my life and death have to do with you!" Hua Fangyi pushed him away, stood up, patted the dirt on her body, turned around and walked down the mountain.
----------------------------------------
In late summer and early autumn, as soon as night fell, the temperature on the mountain dropped sharply. Hua Fangyi hurriedly walked in the cold woods, shivering all over. She regretted not going down the mountain with Tie Lin just now, which was why she was in the current situation.
No, what she regrets more is that she blocked Lu Ning's letter to King Yi. If she hadn't been obsessed with it for a while, she wouldn't be in this situation today...
She still remembered that there were only three days before the wedding. She hid in the Xiaoxiang Villa all day long, ignoring the world and not meeting anyone. She just held the wine jar and got herself drunk, hoping that she would never wake up from the drunkenness.
However, after drinking all the wine she had brought, Xue Yan refused to help her get the wine, so she could only go and get it by herself. Unexpectedly, she saw Lu Ning talking to Bei Xiaobei at the door, and handed over a letter.
Give him the letter.
"What did she give you?" After Lu Ning left, she immediately walked over and asked.
Bei Xiaobei took the letter and was confused: "The leader of the Lu Gang... asked me to give this letter to the prince, but the prince is upstairs, why doesn't she send it by herself-"
"Give it to me! I'll send it up!" Hua Fangyi snatched the letter and smiled meaningfully. But instead of taking the letter to King Yi, she went back to her room to open it and peek at it.
After reading the content of the letter, she suddenly swept away the gloom she had felt for many days and murmured vengefully: "Lu Ning! I was imprisoned in prison because of you last time! This time, you owe me!"
----------------------------------------
"A sneeze!" A sneeze interrupted her memory. Suddenly, she felt warm all over her body, and when she turned her head, she saw Ruan Lang chasing after her and putting his wind robe on her body.
"Miss Fangyi, I'm sorry, I just lost my temper." Ruan Lang lowered his eyes and explained with a guilty conscience: "I am not a frivolous person. I just came to pay homage to my late wife today and drank more wine. When I saw
You always thought it was your deceased wife who showed up, so you did what you did, please forgive me!"
As he spoke, he knelt down on one knee with his fists clasped and his attitude was very sincere.
"That's it. We are all sad people, so why make things difficult for each other. Since you are drunk, let's forget it this time." The anger in Hua Fangyi's heart dissipated slightly, but she became a little more sympathetic.
Ruan Lang lowered his head and stood up, and said humbly: "If the girl doesn't mind, Ruan will send you down the mountain. It's so late, it's very unsafe on the mountain!"
Hua Fangyi pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
