Bai Yueguang, the stand-in for Prince Sick Jiao

Chapter 236 Collapse
Ling Youyao was not surprised by Fu Mingjue's final result.Fu Xiuyun didn't kill footmen because he didn't want to be called a tyrant.Although Fu Mingjue was too impulsive to kill King Ning and King Pingping, it solved his serious problem.

Ling Qingyan looked into the distance and sighed softly: "Yao'er, I know you have always been brooding over Qingwei's death, but this matter is not the prince's fault, so don't cause any rift with him."

Although this matter was caused by Fu Mingjue, he killed both King Ning and King Ping regardless of brotherhood, which was regarded as revenge for Qing Wei.Ling Qingyan couldn't blame him, but could only sigh that fate made people fool.

Ling Youyao smiled wryly: "My sister had an accident, he should be the one suffering the most, why should I blame him?"

Everyone in the capital knew Fu Mingjue's affection for Ling Qingwei, and she was just the sustenance that Fu Mingjue regretted when he was young.

Ling Qingyan saw the faint sadness in her eyes, and didn't understand why she said such words.

The two stood silently under the porch, when suddenly the cold wind blew by, and the bell under the eaves rang, making pleasant sounds.Ling Youyao looked over after hearing the reputation, and saw that the frost on the wind chime had melted away, revealing the delicate small words: May Yao'er be happy and worry-free in this life.

She recognized the familiar handwriting almost immediately.

There was a layer of water in her black eyes, she looked at the wind chimes fluttering in the wind, she was too uncomfortable to speak.Every time the bell rang, it was like Ling Qingwei's quiet and gentle smile, falling on her heart again and again.This short sentence contains my sister's best wishes for her, and she will be happy and worry-free in this life
It was clear that Ling Qingwei was the one who should be happy and carefree in this life, but in the end she could only lie on the cold and dark ground.Just because of this endless conspiracy, she ruined her supposedly bright life.
Ling Youyao couldn't hold back her tears anymore, sobbing softly.

When she cried, Ling Qingyan was startled, and quickly comforted him: "What's the matter? Don't cry, if your parents see it, they will think I'm bullying you."

As he spoke, he wiped Ling Youyao's tears with a handkerchief.

Ling Youyao rarely showed her fragile side in front of people, but now seeing the wind chimes left by Ling Qingwei, her tears were like a river breaking its embankment, and she couldn't control it anymore.She choked up and said: "Sister, sister, she is so good, why...why did it end up like that in the end?"

"Yaoer."

In these years, he has never seen Ling Youyao break down and cry, and seeing this now, he also feels uncomfortable.

When Ling Qingwei's accident happened, Ling Youyao was young and had her head bumped again, so she forgot many things.Ling Qingyan never brought it up, firstly, because she was afraid that she would think of that cruel scene and would not be able to sleep peacefully; secondly, because she was afraid that she would be sad.

But even if he didn't mention it, Ling Youyao couldn't forget Ling Qingwei's death.

Ling Youyao tightly tugged at his sleeve, like a drowning man grabbing a living driftwood and never letting go.

Hot tears wet Ling Qingyan's sleeve robe, and he gently patted Ling Youyao's back, just like when she fell from the wall when she was a child and broke her knee and cried loudly, comforting her softly.

"Qingwei used to treat you the best. I seldom heard you mention her these years. I thought you had forgotten about her. When you were five years old, you had a serious illness and burned for several nights. The whole family took turns to guard you. Later Qingwei heard about wind chimes praying for blessings from nowhere, so she hung a wind chime here, and the words on it were carved by her own hands. I didn't believe it at the time, but your fever subsided the next day."

He was not as careful as Ling Qingwei, and since he was playful when he was a child, Ling Youyao didn't know how many times he fell and fell with him.

In the year when the accident happened, Fu Mingjue only sent back Ling Qingwei, who had lost her breath, but Ling Youyao was not there.He braved the snow and searched the entire mountain, only to find Ling Youyao who was covered in ice under the cliff.

Thinking about it now, Ling Qingyan still felt scared for a while.

If it was later, the family might really be broken up.
He raised his hand to wipe away the tears from Ling Youyao's face, and said: "My sister is gone, isn't my brother still with you? Don't cry, you're all cats."

Ling Youyao sniffed, her heartbeat gradually calmed down, she didn't know what to say to Ling Qingyan's worried and helpless eyes, "Brother, I..."

"Oh, don't call me that. Luckily, Yin Zhu and the others are watching. Otherwise, if my father bumps into me, I won't be able to tell."

Ling Qingyan looked down at his official robe wet with tears, and clicked his tongue in disgust: "Fortunately, I will take a rest tomorrow, otherwise I will have to go to court in this dirty clothes, and I will make people laugh at that time."

Ling Youyao knew that he was teasing herself, she curled her lips and said: "Although the national treasury is not full, but the two official robes are still affordable, so don't tease me."

"I'm not kidding you, what if you cry again later?" Ling Qingyan said quietly, "If the prince knows that you came to me to cry, I'm afraid you will have to settle accounts with me later."

Ling Youyao was taken aback.

Ling Qingyan: "After the court today, the prince told me that you would come to me, so he let me come back first."

Hearing this, a strange feeling appeared in Ling Youyao's heart.I thought last night was just a dream, but I didn't expect that Fu Mingjue had already guessed what was on her mind. Did he also find the letter she hid under the pillow?
Ling Qingyan only thought that she was sad about Qingwei's matter, and said: "I know you are sad, but since Qingwei chose to protect you back then, she never thought of making you feel guilty about it. Whether it is you or the prince, you There is nothing wrong, the person who made the mistake is already dead. Yaoer, I don't want Qingwei's death to become a knot in your heart, and likewise, Qingwei won't want it either."

Ling Youyao let out a long breath, as if sighing and said with a smile: "It's a pity. The one who can't forget it has never been me."

Ling Qingyan frowned slightly, not understanding what she meant by this, so she patted her on the shoulder and said, "It's fine if you can think about it, if you have anything else you want to ask, just ask, this time, I won't ask you again. I lied to you."

"Huh? Did you hide anything else from me?"

Realizing that she had slipped the tongue, Ling Qingyan was a little embarrassed: "What do children know so many things? It's getting late, so stay and have a meal before leaving. Dad should be back by now." , then went down the steps.

Ling Youyao followed behind him, and when she passed the lifeless peach tree, she suddenly asked, "Brother, does sister like peaches?"

"Qingwei is not picky about food, as for whether she likes to eat peaches, I really don't remember clearly."

She lingered here for a moment, then took it back.She couldn't participate in the past between them, so what's the use of knowing about it?

Whether Ling Qingwei's letter in the attic or the peach tree Fu Mingjue planted in the yard, it all showed that he never let Ling Qingwei go.It is not her who really has a knot in her heart, but Fu Mingjue.
