Jiaochu

Chapter 489 Waiting
Xiao Anzi brought dinner, four dishes and one soup, both meat and vegetable, delicious and delicious. When Ling Ding smelled the aroma of the dishes, the gluttons in his stomach were already growling. The three masters and servants ate together, and Ling Ding ate two by himself. A bowl of rice, and he praised Xiao Anzi's cooking skills. After returning home, he could cook in the imperial kitchen. It was a pity that Xiao Anzi was not here and did not hear the compliments. Lingdang was also curious about who Xiao Anzi learned his cooking skills from. , He He said that Xiao Anzi was smart and could learn it by watching others cook.

Ye Lingxi thought of what Xiao Anzi said before. When he was a child, he had to suffer from hunger every day in order to beat his stuttering to death. In order to survive, people can become crueler than beasts. , she was distracted for a moment, and the jade bracelet she wore on her hand knocked on the table, and there was a ding-dong sound, which made her heart thump. She quickly raised her wrist to check, and saw that the bracelet was fine, and she was relieved, but anyway A little uneasy, worried about what might happen to Yan Fei...

"Princess?" Lingdang called out. Ye Lingxi came back to her senses and asked her what was wrong. Lingdang said, "I don't know how long the prince will be with us. Could it be that he wants to follow us all the way back to the capital?" Ye Lingxi thought to himself, maybe it is. In this way, "He goes his way, we go ours, don't worry about him."

……

After serving Ye Lingxi and resting, Hehe and Lingdang went to the next room to rest. Two dragon shadow guards were guarding the stairs. The lights were still on in the lobby downstairs. Murongze was playing chess with himself.

Late at night, the lights downstairs went out.

The whole inn was quiet, the moonlight shone in through the window and fell on the people by the window. Murongze sat in his wheelchair and looked at the moon. It was almost the third night and he had no intention of sleeping.

In the room upstairs, Ye Lingxi couldn't sleep either. She always felt uneasy. She touched the jade bracelet on her wrist, thinking about Yan Fei's safety. She couldn't lie down anymore. She got up and got out of bed, preparing to walk. She passed by When she was putting on the dressing table, she accidentally turned her head and glanced at the bronze mirror, then walked over to sit down and stared at the bronze mirror.

The originally dark mirror suddenly lit up, the light was not strong, the mirror became chaotic, and the next moment a figure appeared.

The other party was soaking in a spring, and the water in the spring was actually red, brighter and deeper than blood.

She wanted to ask him what was wrong, but suddenly she saw the fine ice-white lines on his neck, like extended spider webs, densely wrapped around it. She covered her mouth in shock to prevent herself from screaming, and then suddenly the bottom of the spring suddenly It lit up with a scorching light, like molten magma, and a large amount of water vapor rose up in an instant, turning the mirror into a mist.

She heard Yanfei's muffled groans and growls, and she was in extreme pain. She knew that with his temperament, even if he was seriously injured, he would grit his teeth and carry it, never shouting a word of pain, and he still doesn't shout a word of pain. She It was unimaginable how much pain he was suffering at the moment. She wanted to call him loudly, but she was afraid of distracting him and causing trouble. She desperately wanted to do something and softly hummed a tune, which was the flute tune she often played. I want to alleviate his pain, even just a little bit...

"Princess.?"

After an unknown amount of time, the misty water vapor disappeared, and the clear moonlight shone from above his head. He no longer had the strength to speak. She was still humming softly, and saw that the dense ice patterns on his neck, like spider webs, disappeared. She cried with joy, and then she realized there were tears on her face.

She could only see the other person's back, but she recognized it was Yan Fei at a glance. He looked extremely painful, and her heart twitched. She called him in the mirror. Miraculously, he seemed to hear her. He turned his head slightly and his voice was low and hoarse, as if he was restraining great pain.

At this time, two more figures came over, it was Zhen Po and Ah Li.

Ah Li fished Yan Fei ashore, carried Yan Fei on his back and left with Zhen Po...

The image in the mirror disappeared and became pitch black again. She was still sitting on the stool when she suddenly lay down on the dressing table with her head buried in her arms as if she was crying. After a while, she muttered two words, "Idiot."

……

After breakfast the next day, Ye Lingxi went downstairs and walked toward the door. Murongze said that she seemed to have heard her singing last night. She said that her ears were really sharp. She said that she liked to talk in her sleep at night, and sometimes sleepwalked, deliberately committing suicide. I want him to quit by destroying his image and stop saying nonsense about not marrying anyone other than Qing. Murong Ze said that he slept lightly at night, so if she sleepwalked, he would be able to detect her in time to avoid losing her.

Ye Lingxi wasted no time and walked outside the door to look in the direction of Xiuzhou City. Murongze poured a cup of tea and asked, "What is the princess looking at?" She said, "I think the weather is not good today. OK, it’s not suitable to travel.”

When Su Shi came down from upstairs, Murong Ze asked deliberately, "Princess doesn't want to leave because she wants to wait for someone?" Ye Lingxi said, "If the prince is in a hurry, let's leave first." Murong Ze said, "There is no rush." He then asked Su Shi, who was walking downstairs, how well he slept last night and whether he dreamed of anyone. Su Shi said nothing after greeting him. He walked over and asked Ye Lingxi if she wanted to rest in the town for a day. She nodded and said I had something to discuss with Su Shi, so I went back upstairs. I didn't want to stay here and listen to Murong Ze's strange words.

Lingdang wanted to go out for a walk, but Ye Lingxi asked her to go with He He Xiao Anzi, and asked Su Shi if she wanted to go. Su Shi planned to read in the room, and then Ling Dang and He Xiao Anzi went to the street together.

When the three of them went out, Jingzhe glanced at Murongze, who was playing chess with him, and asked him to go for a walk and go to the city gate to see if anyone was coming. Jingzhe took the order and left.

There are not many hawkers selling things on the street, and they are not as good as those in affluent places that fill the whole street. The teahouses and wine shops are not as grand as those restaurants and teahouses. The streets are not very spacious. There are few carriages passing by, but everyone is in high spirits. , full of vitality, you can tell at a glance that the politics here are clear and the people are simple.

As soon as Lingdang went out, she went straight to the steaming bun stall. When Hehe chased after her, she was already paying for it. When the buns were received, the two of them found that Xiao Anzi was missing, and they didn't know which direction he went. Lingdang He said that he must have sneaked away to play elsewhere, and he was not worried that people would get lost. He couldn't wait to take a bite of the big and fragrant buns, and screamed, fanning and breathing with his hands, and was filled with the steaming bun fillings. He was burned, and he stamped his feet again, as if his feet were also burned. His miserable appearance was just seen by another person.

Jingzhe passed by the two of them without saying hello and walked away expressionlessly.

Ling Ding whispered something about wooden stakes. Seeing the person in front of her stop and seem to hear it, she quickly pulled He He and slipped away. Jing Zhe paused for a moment and continued walking towards the city gate.

It was almost noon when the two of them returned to the inn. Ling Dang had big and small bags in his hand, all of which were food. He He also had some in his hand. Jingzhe had already returned to the inn. Seeing the other party, Ling Ding deliberately walked away to avoid being caught by him to settle the score. Unexpectedly, his hand loosened and the large and small bags fell to the floor like dumplings.

When Lingdang was about to pick up the last pack of candied dates, a pair of feet appeared in front of her. Jingzhe bent down to pick up the things and handed them over. She was stunned for a moment, then stretched out her hand and took back the candied dates with unusual agility, as if she was afraid of being late. The other party regretted it within a second.

As she went upstairs, Ling Dang secretly glanced back at that stern side face. She tripped on the stairs inadvertently. He He asked her to be careful, joking that she had lost her soul on the street. Ling Dang was so rare. He was silent and his face was a little red. He He thought she was embarrassed and stopped teasing, so as not to make her anxious.

After going upstairs, the two of them found Xiao Anzi coming out of Ye Lingxi's room. After walking over, Xiao Anzi said, "The princess said she was a little sleepy and wanted to sleep for a while, so she didn't need lunch." Lingdang asked him where he had been before. When did he come back? Xiao Anzi said that he had bought some ingredients and had just come back. He asked the two of them what they wanted to eat, and he went to do it. Ling Dang said that he wanted to eat noodles. Hehe had already eaten on the street, so there was no need. It’s lunch.
