Volume 1: Swan Goose Chapter 331: Tears in Spring Shirt
On the way back, the carriage was unusually quiet.
Yu Fengjin looked at Lu Ning with a hand in hand, showing an unpredictable expression.
Lu Ning looked away and stared out the window, trying to avoid meeting his eyes.
Because just sitting opposite him like this, her heartbeat would gradually speed up. She was trying her best to suppress the anxiety in her chest, but the more she did this, the more she felt the urge to shout loudly deep in her body.
"Sneeze! Sneeze!" I couldn't help but sneeze twice more, but this time it wasn't because my nose was itchy.
Just now she was so nervous that she broke into a hot sweat, and after getting on the carriage, she broke out into a cold sweat.
With this alternation of hot and cold, she was afraid that she was really sick.
Yu Fengjin silently took off her fox fur, carefully covered her body, and then put her hand stove into Lu Ning's hand.
"I'm not cold. Your Highness is delicate and expensive, so you should take care of yourself." Lu Ning quickly returned the fox fur and hand stove and declined.
At this time, her mood was a little complicated, and she could no longer accept King Yi's concern as calmly as usual.
Yu Fengjin did not scold her lovingly and force her to accept his kindness as usual.
He put the returned hand stove and fox fur aside, looked at Lu Ning quietly, and said softly: "So, you are really together, right?"
"No, not really..." Lu Ning subconsciously rushed to explain, but regretted it as soon as he said it.
What is their relationship? Why should he blame himself?
Moreover, hadn’t I already broken up with her, so why were I so afraid that he would misunderstand me?
It’s so baffling!
"That's like Ping Si said, you just can't refuse, right?" Yu Fengjin's speaking speed increased slightly, and you could hear the panic in his heart.
He really saw everything!
Lu Ning's heart skipped a beat, and his stiff upper body almost shook.
"I don't want to explain this matter. Let it be whatever everyone says." Her voice was dry and without any emotion.
"Then, don't you want to say anything about your intimate behavior by the river on the last Si Festival?" Yu Fengjin raised her voice and asked, her tense face covered with frost.
Lu Ning's eyes widened suddenly, with an incredible look on his face. He seemed a little angry when he found out that he was following her.
"That day, Yan Rong and I also went to Fuxiang River and happened to see you..." Yu Fengjin once again revealed her thoughts.
Lu Ning lowered his head in frustration and said sadly: "Hu Qi said that we are engaged. In order not to arouse others' suspicion, we need to act in front of outsiders."
"What about today?" Yu Fengjin suddenly approached her, his face covered with anger: "Who are you two acting for when you are making out like no one else is around?"
He stared straight into Lu Ning's eyes, his sinister look making Lu Ning feel paralyzed all over.
"Your Highness, although I was once engaged to you, we are just friends now. It will make me very troubled if you question me like this." Although she could feel that her expression was stiff, she still tried her best to put on a smile.
"I just don't understand. You and I were so close when we were traveling together on Yuan Ye. I can feel that you still have me in your heart. It's only been a few days, but you have fallen in love so quickly. After all, it's me.
Are you too pretentious, or are you too heartless?"
Yu Fengjin's voice was like ice water dripping down, and Lu Ning felt chills on his back.
"Your Highness, you said that that day was the last time we acted recklessly. After the outrageous behavior, we settled down separately. Is it wrong for me to make this choice now?" Lu Ning couldn't bear it anymore, and the emotions he had suppressed for a long time began to explode.
"Don't forget, we are allies! Can't you see that Hu Qi has been using the marriage contract to control you? If Hu Qi is using you, how can I ignore it?" From Yu Fengjin's tough tone,
I can feel his irritability.
This man, who has always been calm and collected, rarely shows such emotions.
"I'm not stupid enough to be manipulated by anyone!" Lu Ning turned away angrily and said angrily: "Besides, he was kindly helping me in this matter. If you insist on saying that, then I am using him!"
Yu Fengjin stared at her closely, frowning angrily: "Okay! In that case, then go and tell him to cancel the engagement. I will help you settle the matter of selection in the palace!"
"No need." Lu Ning lowered his eyes and raised his eyebrows: "I don't want to owe His Highness a favor——"
"Oh, you don't want to owe me a favor, but you are willing to owe Hu Qi a favor!" Yu Fengjin laughed angrily, with a hint of amusement in her tone.
"We're home, it's time for me to go back!" Lu Ning saw the familiar exquisiteness outside the car window, and quickly got up and walked out. The breath in his chest gradually relaxed.
"Wait!" Yu Fengjin grabbed her wrist and asked urgently: "If one day Hu Qi and I stand on opposite sides, who will you... side with?"
This question was sudden and something Lu Ning had never thought about before.
After a period of silence, Lu Ning said calmly: "I don't want to get involved in the fight between you. So, I won't stand by anyone's side!"
Yu Fengjin suddenly raised the corners of her lips and sneered: "Times have changed, and some things won't happen unless you don't want to! I'm afraid that when the time comes, you won't be able to stay out of it!"
Lu Ning turned around, looked deeply into his dark eyes, and suddenly smiled faintly: "If it comes to a time when I have no choice, then I can only obey the fate..."
Yu Fengjin looked at her in surprise, as if these words should not come from her mouth, but then, he slowly let go of her wrist and watched her disappear from his sight...
It was already midnight when we returned to the Zhuang Tower. Everyone returned to their respective rooms and soon fell asleep. The whole Zhuang Tower was silent.
——Hideout——
The old trees were rustling in the wind, as if it were raining. The orioles were chirping softly, and everything in the capital was a scene of late spring.
Hua Fangyi carried a food box and the map Yan Rong drew for her, and followed the map to a remote and desolate alley.
The alley is muddy and stinks everywhere. The houses on both sides are very dilapidated and do not even have doors. They seem to have been abandoned long ago, but occasionally you can see a few ragged beggars walking in and sleeping on the haystacks.
Hua Fangyi held up the hem of her skirt and walked cautiously inside. She didn't seem to be afraid, because the people here were hungry and dying people who couldn't survive, and they had no ability to do other bad things.
After walking for a while in the noisy stench, there was suddenly a burst of childish yelling and cursing.
Hua Fangyi couldn't help but look over and saw several children surrounding a ragged man, beating and kicking him, cursing: "If you dare to steal our food, I'll beat you to death, beat you to death!"
The people in the middle were hunched over and holding their heads, neither fighting back nor hiding.
Although she couldn't see his face, Hua Fangyi recognized it at a glance: this person was the masked man.
She quickly ran over, grabbed a few children, and scolded: "Stop! How can you bully others?"
Although the children were still young, when they saw such a beautiful woman for the first time, they were all stunned. They even stopped and looked at her blankly.
A child pointed at the man on the ground and said angrily: "He stole the steamed buns we were about to bring!"
Hua Fangyi took a look at the steamed buns that had been trampled into black residue on the ground. She sighed helplessly and quickly took out two steamed buns from the food box and handed them to them: "He robbed one of you, I'll give it to you two."
, you can’t hit him again, okay?”
A fairy-like woman held two soft, white, steaming steamed buns and spoke such gentle words in a orchid voice that even a child could not refuse.
They excitedly took the steamed buns from Hua Fangyi's smooth hands and ran away in a hurry.
Seeing the children scattering in a hurry, Hua Fangyi turned around and stretched out her hand to help the masked man up. However, the man shrank aside like an electric shock, for fear that he would dirty her hands.
Hua Fangyi immediately retracted her hand and said cautiously: "Are you okay? Are you injured? You don't have to hide from me, I won't hurt you!"
The masked man lowered his eyes and didn't even look at her. He just shook his head and said nothing.
Seeing him like this, Hua Fangyi could only sigh helplessly, put the food box in front of him, and said softly: "I've been waiting for you for several days, but you didn't come. I guess you were afraid of being found by the people of the Imperial Guards Department, so I
I'm looking for you everywhere. You must be very hungry. Eat something quickly!"
The masked man stared at the food box with a pair of eyes like a lone wolf. He tentatively stretched out his hand, but immediately took it back.
The expression on his face was painful and tangled, and a muddy whimpering sound came from his mouth.
After seemingly struggling for a long time, he stretched out his skinny fingers, pointed at the beggar on the road, and shook his head heavily.
Hua Fangyi lowered her eyes and thought for a long time before asking tentatively: "You mean... you don't want to eat my food in vain because you don't want to be like a beggar?"
The masked man frowned and nodded gloomily.
Hua Fangyi looked at him resentfully and scolded in a soft tone: "You don't want to be a beggar, so why do you want to be a robber and bully children?"
The masked man looked shocked, then slowly lowered his head, holding his head with both hands, his teeth clenched, and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.
Hua Fangyi couldn't bear it and didn't want to blame him any more, so she could only persuade him gently: "It's better than this! I won't let you eat this meal for free. As long as you dress up as him and accompany me for a day tomorrow, how about it?"
"
The masked man stopped trembling, slowly raised his head, and looked at Hua Fangyi with a confused look in his eyes.
Hua Fangyi knew that he had doubts, so she explained: "I have always wanted to be alone with him, but he never wanted to be alone. Are you willing to spend a day with me tomorrow to fulfill my wish?"
The man in black pondered for a moment before slowly nodding his head.
Immediately, he took out a steamed bun from the food box, stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it hungrily.
Hua Fangyi watched him eating with satisfaction, enjoying the feeling of being needed.
——Riding together——
The spring of Qujiang River is like an intoxicating landscape painting:
Surrounded by mountains, the lake is as clear as a mirror. The spring breeze blows away the clouds and the weather has just cleared up. The sun shines on the lake, making it look warm and bright. The water is rippled with light, sparkling and extremely gorgeous.
A slender man in black was paddling a small boat and holding a long oar, facing the spring breeze and floating in and out of the waves.
Hua Fangyi stands pretty on the bow of the boat, with long hair shawl and purple skirt trailing to the ground. She is as elegant as a fairy, making people dare not look at her.
When the boat reached the middle of the river, Hua Fangyi said calmly: "Just stop here!"
The boat slowly stopped, and the man put the long oar into the boat and sat down opposite her.
The two of them sat in the boat without saying a word, admiring the spring scenery of the Qujiang River:
The white clouds hung low in the distance and merged with the river surface. Several orioles emerged early and flew to the trees facing the sun. The new green apples neatly covered the water surface.
Hua Fangyi took out the fish food and sprinkled it into the river, and asked casually: "Are you really that heinous flower-picking thief - do you want to save yourself?"
The man opposite was obviously startled, then lowered his head in annoyance and nodded reluctantly.
Hua Fangyi raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said softly: "But you have always respected me very much when you met me several times. This means that you don't want to be a flower picker anymore, right?"
The man's eyes lit up and he nodded without hesitation.
