After the new widow, I became a tyrant's tender outer chamber

Chapter 26 Confrontation
Seeing Cheng Xingqiu walking away, Ruan Yuyi bowed her body and said goodbye to her.

Jiang Huaiyang grabbed her wrist, his eyes dark.Her white wrists seemed to be covered with frost and snow, and they were very slender, as if they could be broken with a little force.

Thinking about it, Jiang Huaiyang relaxed a little more.

Ruan Yuyi looked back, with suspicion in her eyes, "Is there anything else your Highness has to do?" She could even feel the thin calluses on the fingertips of the other party gently rubbing against her wrist, which was a little stinging.

Lingling...?
Hearing others calling her like this, he felt a emptiness in his heart, as if he was getting closer to a certain truth
The murmurs in my dreams for several nights rang in my ears one after another at this time.

Sometimes he hugs her from behind, the two of them are skin-to-skin, and his lips are close to her ear, calling her continuously, making her cheeks flush; or during the day, telling her to put down the ink stick in her hand, Kneading the sore fingertips after grinding ink for her...

The calls gathered one after another, as if a little firefly disturbed his thoughts, and the calls seemed to last as long as a lifetime.

—though he never remembered seeing her.

In the memory, the face of the woman in the dream suddenly became clear, with red lips and white teeth, a sweet smile, a pair of watery eyes, and the broken bell between the wrists, the sound entered the ears.

But the person in the dream is far more delicate than the person in front of her eyes, she is not as restrained as she is now, as if something has penetrated her spine and restrained her there, unable to cry or escape.

He couldn't help but look at her, he remembered that there was a small mole on her butterfly bone.

"That person just now... called you Lingling?"

Ruan Yuyi didn't understand why he asked this question, and said hesitantly, "Yes. This is my little girl's small characters. When my mother gave birth to me, I was playing with my father in the mountains. There was a clear spring in the valley. The word 'Lingling' is just a catchphrase."

Jiang Huaiyang narrowed his eyes, and withdrew his hand, it was really fluent, and it sounded very similar to the ringtone of her wrist.

"Your Highness wants to know, you can ask my daughter." Ruan Yuyi smiled brightly, but her eyes didn't reach her eyes.

When he raised his eyes again, he had suppressed all the turbulent emotions, and his expression was as usual, "I just asked casually."

Ruan Yuyi didn't ask too many questions, she just thought it was the whim of this uncertain prince.

He put one hand behind his back and gestured somewhere.

After receiving the instructions, Wen Zhi walked out from the corner, cupped his hands, and said respectfully, "Master, I heard a man's laughter not far away, which is quite similar to the second son of the Cheng family."

Since he left, he has been hiding behind the corner. He has always been clever, so he would not understand what the master meant, and he would not go too far, just to see the master's next order.

But such a tacit understanding is not innate. He entered the palace since he was a child and has been with this unfavored little prince. He himself is only half a century older than him, and he was still young at the time, but in In the wind and rain, he forged a ruthless means.

He followed the master and climbed up on the bones, and now he occupies the position of a great eunuch. When any palace servant in the palace saw him, he would call Eunuch Wen with a low eyebrow.

Hearing Wen Zhi's reply, Ruan Yuyi was overjoyed, "That must be my second cousin!"

Shizi's subordinates were really capable of handling affairs, and it was not enough for Wen Zhi to go away for a while after they searched for it like this.

Jiang Huaiyang cast a glance at Ruan Yuyi beside him, seeing her relieved look, he said, "Go and bring her here."

"Yes." Wen Zhi took the order and took a detour, but actually entered the concubine's yard through the side door.

After a while, he turned back, and there was no one following behind him.

Wen Zhi stepped forward and said, "Master, the concubine said she would keep him for a while, and she seems to be very happy with him. The little one is really..."

Ruan Yuyi noticed the word "twilight concubine" and thought to herself, if the concubine eats fast with the crown prince, why would she live separately from the crown prince, but it's no wonder that she seldom saw her in the past few days.

"Your Highness," Ruan Yuyi took the initiative, "Second Cousin usually listens to me, why don't you ask me to bring him back. I have seen Princess Dowager before, she is quite easy to talk to."

He glanced at her, turned his head and said to Wen Zhi in a deep voice, "Go and tell the concubine, just say that he ran away. His family doesn't know, and they are already waiting impatiently."

Jiang Qi was stubborn, so he was detained here to fast with his grandmother. I'm afraid he won't be allowed to walk around easily, and he might be inside right now.

If you let her in—

"Your Highness, is he really alright?" She didn't notice Jiang Huaiyang's actions that seemed to stop her, but she was a little worried about whether Wen Zhi could bring him back smoothly.

"nature."

If someone who used to be able to piss off a minister with a few words in the past, he still can't explain this point clearly, and it really can't be justified.

This time Wen Zhi really brought him back intact.

Cheng Rui held a piece of pastry in each hand and gnawed a bite with each hand as he walked, as if he was afraid that someone would compete with him.

When he saw Ruan Yuyi, he didn't realize his disappearance at all, and it would make the people around him anxious. With something still in his mouth, he smiled and shouted, "Sister Yi'er! Why are you here?"

Seeing this, Ruan Yuyi let out a sigh of relief, but it's good that she's fine.She turned back and said, "Thank you for your help this time, if it weren't for you, we might not know when to go."

Jiang Huaiyang's cold voice came from the top of her head, "Since I have found it, what are you going to thank me for?" If she hadn't figured out part of his temperament, this sentence would have sounded like a joke to her.

But his eyes were too straightforward, as if he could see her through at a glance. Her ears were stained reddish, and she stumbled, "Your Highness...give me a little more time to prepare, and naturally His Highness won't help you in vain."

Jiang Huaiyang stared at her gradually receding figure until she disappeared around the corner.

Knowing that Ruan Yuyi didn't do the things in the dream, and might not even have the temperament in the dream, why did he unconsciously get confused and started joking with her.

On the side of the hem of his clothes, he gently pinched the soft flesh of his palm with his hanging hand, a little dazed.

The beautiful trees are densely shaded and the rice fields are mixed. Ruan Yuyi was afraid that Cheng Rui would run around randomly again, so although it was inconvenient to have too much contact, she tugged a small corner of his sleeve.

Cheng Ruirao has a big stride and adapts to her speed. She slowed down and said, "Sister Yi'er, can I go to that grandma's place next time? Her dim sum is really delicious, and I'll give it back to you." Leave a little..."

As he spoke, he raised his other hand that wasn't being held by his sleeve, only to realize that the hand was empty, and then he lowered his head in frustration, "Oh, sorry, I forgot to eat it just now."

Maybe the grandma he was talking about was the concubine?He is just an idiot, so no one will care about these things with him.Ruan Yuyi laughed a little.In this way, he became the most relaxed one among all living beings.

"Second cousin, you are not allowed to run around in the future, you know?" Ruan Yuyi said, "You don't know how worried my aunt is."

She originally meant to talk casually, not pointing at how much Cheng Rui, a idiot, could listen to, but she shook her head when she didn't want him, and said, "I didn't run around, I came out to find sister Fairy."

Ruan Yuyi thought it was funny, "Second cousin is talking nonsense. This is a temple, so where is the fairy sister, if there is one, it should be a Buddha."

Cheng Rui looked very serious, "It was said by His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess."

Hearing this, Ruan Yuyi paused, feeling something was wrong.Maybe they all ignored it, seeing that the courtyard door was unlocked, they thought he ran out by himself, but in fact, it might not be accidental.
