Jiaochu

Chapter 470 Can’t Believe It

After about a quarter of an hour, Ye Lingxi felt that the curtain was opened, the light flickered, and with it came the smell of grilled fish. He put a plate in her hand, and she picked it up and smelled it. After smelling it, it was quite fragrant, and then handed a pair of chopsticks to her hand.

"I picked out all the fish bones, and there's also fish soup."

"Can you catch fish?"

"Just luck."

……

In the evening, the carriage stopped again. Ye Lingxi insisted on going and wanted to get to Xiuzhou as soon as possible. He said it was not safe to drive at night, so she held the window open and refused to get out of the carriage.

"If you don't let go, I'll carry you down."

Hearing this, she let go of her hand. Even if she couldn't see it, she knew that the other person must be laughing at her. She silently took a deep breath and said the word "forbearance" to her head.

Wen Ru helped her get out of the carriage. Ye Lingxi thought she had arrived at an inn. In fact, there was a temporary house in front of her. Before she could enter, he stopped her again. He asked her to rest in the carriage for a while. She was speechless. , Xin Xin asked if she was deliberately tormenting herself, or if there was something shameful in the inn, and she couldn't see it now, so why should she be so defensive? Ye Lingxi stood still and heard him say that he wanted to carry her up. She raised her hand to refuse and returned to the carriage with Wen Ru's help.

He asked Wen Ru and the guards to stay and walked in alone.

Two black-armored guards stood at the door and bowed when they saw him coming over. There was a person sitting inside, enjoying tea leisurely. When he came over, the other person stood up and saluted, and the ink-colored peony embroidered on the sleeves shone brightly under the light.

"Why are you here, Master?" He sat down and asked.

The person who came was none other than Taifu Xiyan, Shang Ginseng. The dark peony embroidered on the sleeves was like a symbol, and anyone who saw him would know his identity. Taifu Shang sat down opposite him, poured a cup of tea and put it in front of him, and said, "I heard that His Highness brought a girl with him." His narrow eyes glanced at the carriage outside, with a smile on his face. He felt a chill, but there was a chill that made people's hair stand on end from the depths of his pupils.

He put down the tea cup, his peach blossom eyes suddenly became sharp, "Is the Grand Tutor letting people monitor my every move?"

"Wei Chen doesn't dare." Taifu Shang said, "Wei Chen is just worried that His Highness will be tripped by someone and delay the business."

He said: "Everything is according to my plan, Taifu can rest assured."

Taifu Shang said: "Your Highness is strategizing, so I can rest assured. It's getting late, so I won't disturb His Highness's rest." He picked up the teacup, "Wei Chen will use tea instead of wine, and wish Your Highness success soon."

He picked up the teacup and took a sip, then walked out with Taifu Shang. When those narrow eyes looked towards the carriage, Wen Ru lowered her head and clenched her hands tightly, looking a little reserved and frightened. It seems that he is quite afraid of this person.

Sitting in the carriage, Ye Lingxi felt like she was being watched.

A moment later, she heard someone say, "Let's go." However, these two simple words set off a storm in her heart, not because of any special meaning of these two words, but because of the other person's voice. She would never understand that voice. She would forget that she had heard this voice over and over again in her nightmares. He said the word "kill" lightly, turning the capital into a living hell. In his eyes, human life was even more despicable than an ant.

"stop!"

When Taifu Shang was about to get into the carriage, the curtain of another carriage was suddenly opened. Ye Lingxi jumped out of the carriage. Wen Ru quickly caught her and reminded her in a low voice, "Girl, don't be impulsive." She pushed Wen Ru away. When she was about to rush over, she was stopped by another person. His hands hugged her tightly, and she refused to let go despite being bitten and kicked. Wen Ru said she was offended, and swept the handkerchief in front of her, and a scent made her feel Fall asleep.

"Does this girl have any deep grudge against Wei Chen? She acted as if she wanted to kill Wei Chen just now." Taifu Shang asked.

He said coldly, "Let's go." Taifu Shang bowed his hands and left with the two black armored guards.

When Ye Lingxi woke up, the surroundings were quiet. She reached out and groped around, and found herself lying on the bed with only one thought in her mind, let's go! No matter what the relationship between him and Shang Shen was, she would never believe him. She had to leave here quickly and not fall into the trap of the other party.

"Ahem" she coughed lightly and fumbled to get up. She made some noise to see if Wen Ru was there. Then she heard Wen Ru's voice, "The girl is awake." She bent down and fumbled for her shoes on the ground. Come over and put on her shoes.

She asked if it was dawn, and Wen Ru said that it was not yet Haishi, and there were still a few hours until dawn. After putting on her shoes, she stood up and groped forward. Wen Ru wanted to help her, but she refused. She groped her way to the table step by step, then sat down on the stool and said, "Go and talk to your family." The young master said, I have something to ask him and asked him to come over." Wen Ru hesitated for a moment, but seeing her firm attitude, she answered yes and left the room.

After a while, Wen Ru came back and said, "Young master has gone out. If you have something to do, you might as well talk about it tomorrow."

"I am waiting."

Waiting until the third watch, she still hasn't come back. Ye Lingxi has been sitting on the stool with her back straight like a statue. Wen Ru persuaded her to lie down on the bed and rest for a while. She didn't speak or move. Her whole body seemed numb. Same, cold and stubborn.

There was a person soaking in the cold water. An hour ago, he felt something was not right. His body became hot for no reason. He soon realized that something had been tampered with in the cup of tea. He couldn't control himself, and her image appeared in his mind. With every frown and smile, his five senses seemed to be amplified. It was as if he could hear her gentle breathing, smell the faint fragrance in her hair, and a fire seemed to be ignited in those peach blossom eyes to engulf him. While he was still rational, He quickly rode away before he was overwhelmed.

After soaking in the cold water for an hour, his peach blossom eyes stained with scarlet gradually regained their composure. After another hour of soaking, he went ashore, lit a fire to dry his clothes, and then rode back.

When he was about to arrive, he pulled the reins and stopped the horse, fearing that the sound of the horse's hooves would wake her up. When he walked in, he found that there was still a light on in the room on the right. He walked over and gently opened the curtain and took a look inside. He saw someone. Sitting on a stool and not sleeping.

He took back his hand and coughed lightly.

"Come in." Ye Lingxi said.

He walked in and asked, "Why aren't you sleeping so late?"

Wen Ru said: "The girl has been waiting for the young master. She has something to tell him." She raised her head and saw a bit of tiredness in his expression. She wanted to say something, but she knew her identity well. There will only be a master-servant relationship, nothing else. He waved his hand and she leaned back.

"What do you want to tell me?" he sat down and asked.

Ye Lingxi said: "Xiuzhou is not far from here. I don't want people to misunderstand me. When we get to the town ahead, you can help me hire a carriage." She put a money bag on the table, "Here's the money for the carriage. There are also food expenses for these two days, as well as money for medical treatment and medicine. Do you think it’s enough?”

Looking at the money bag, he looked gloomy, with a wry smile on his lips, "Did I make you unhappy?" she said, "You should know my identity. The person you met before was the Shang Taifu of Xiyan. , has a sworn feud with Da Hui. Since you know him, do you need me to say anything more? I can’t trust you.”

He was a little surprised. He didn't expect her to recognize it, but he had already expected such a result. From the moment he knew his life experience, he knew that one day he would face such a result. However, the last sentence still sounded like It pierced deeply into his heart like a needle, leaving only pain.

"Your eyes are not healed yet, I won't let you go on the road alone." He said forcefully.

She raised her hand to untie the bandage, but he grabbed her wrist. The next moment, she bit her hand so hard that it almost bled. He didn't let go, "If you don't be honest, I'll kiss you." ." He felt like a scoundrel now, a shameless one, but it was better to let her get angry or beat him up than to draw a clear line.

"Get out, I don't want to see you."

He was angry and funny, thinking that you can't see it now, and he was afraid that she would take off the bandage again, so he didn't say anything. When he walked to the door, he said "I'm out", looked back at her, and straightened his back. Sitting on the stool, more stubborn than a cold stone, he sighed softly, opened the curtain and walked out.
