Jiaochu

Chapter 490 Coming

In the evening, Ye Lingxi sat quietly by the window, watching through the window lattice as the sky darkened little by little, revealing a pale white star. The twilight gathered around her, and the star gradually became cold and bright, far away. The lush mountains everywhere were covered by the twilight, leaving only their vast outlines. The night breeze was slightly drunk, bringing a fragrant fragrance, like the fragrance of flowers or fruits...

After it was completely dark, she still sat quietly by the window, sometimes worrying about Yan Fei's situation, and sometimes thinking about the name Zi Yuan she heard in her dream. The two thoughts were entangled with each other, like a twisted hemp rope. After a while, she turned her head and glanced at the bronze mirror, stood up, walked over, and sat down on the stool. The bronze mirror reflected the bright yellow light of the lights, reflecting her face. She wanted to see Yan Fei again.

She stared at the bronze mirror for a long time, but there was still only her face in the mirror, with no reaction. She thought for a moment, turned off the lights in the room, groped over and sat down, concentrating on it, and continued to stare at the bronze mirror.

This time, the mirror reacted and glowed with a faint light. She felt happy and stared at the bronze mirror more intently. A pair of ice-blue eyes suddenly opened in the mirror. She was so frightened that her back went cold and her scalp went numb. Numb, her heart seemed to suddenly jump into her throat. After she calmed down, she mustered up the courage to take a peek in the mirror. The eyes were gone. She breathed a sigh of relief and stared at the mirror for a while. Son, it was pitch black and there was nothing.

……

After the second watch, everything on the street was quiet, not even a dog barking.

Ye Lingxi lay on the bed and listened to the movement on the street, fearing that she would miss the sound of horse hooves. She had already thought about waiting for one more day, and if the person didn't come yet, she would go find him.

Suddenly, as if she felt something, she stood up and ran towards the door. After opening the door, she ran downstairs.
The lights were still on in the lobby. Murong Ze was reading a book when he heard the thumping sound of going downstairs. He put down the book and looked up at the person running down. He saw her running all the way to the door, opened the door and ran out. He asked Jingzhe to follow Go and see if you are sleepwalking, don't let anyone get lost.

Hehe and Lingdang were also awakened when they heard the noise. When they found out that Ye Lingxi was not in the room, they had already ran out of the inn. They went to knock on Su Shi's door again. Xiao Anzi also opened the door and left when he heard the noise. out.

Suddenly, she stopped and looked ahead through the vast night, her eyes eager and expectant. When the sound of horse hooves came from the front through the night, she almost held her breath. She was worried that it was not him who came, but Her intuition told her that it was him, and he was the one rushing over.

The lights were on in the lobby, and Murong Ze was still reading. The door of the inn was closed, and Jingzhe took it with him when he left. Su Shi asked him if he had seen Ye Lingxi go out. Murongze gestured towards the door. Su Shi thanked him and was going to take Xiao Anzi out to find someone and let the two girls, He He and Ling Dang, stay. Ling Dang disagreed and wanted to stay. Looking for someone, Su Shi couldn't resist, and the four of them left together. Murongze reminded him to close the door, and Xiao Anzi apologized to him and diligently closed the door.

The two Long Shadow guards guarding the stairs also left, leaving Murongze alone in the lobby. He stood up from his wheelchair and walked without any problems. He walked upstairs and walked straight into Ye Lingxi. room, walked around in it, then went downstairs, sat in the wheelchair again, and continued reading.

……

Aunt Qiu is not here. This morning, Ye Lingxi asked someone to escort Aunt Qiu back to the capital. He also brought the specialties and gifts prepared by Ye Sirou. First, Aunt Qiu wanted to go back as soon as possible to personally report the princess's safety to the queen. Second, Aunt Qiu wanted to go back as soon as possible to personally report the princess's safety to the queen. Ye Lingxi also wanted Long Yingwei to go back and report the situation in Dingcheng and Xiuzhou to her father in detail.

Ye Lingxi ran wildly along the street, causing a lot of barking. Several houses turned on their lights to check the doors, thinking that there was a thief in the town.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and her heartbeat was getting faster and faster, as if it was about to jump out of her throat. When the outline of a man and a horse appeared in front, she waved her arms vigorously and called him loudly.

Hearing the sound, Yan Fei tightened the reins, dismounted, and ran towards her. Ye Lingxi rushed over, and the two hugged each other tightly. Within two seconds, Ye Lingxi pushed him away again and groped with his hands. She looked at him and asked him where he was injured. Yan Fei said he was not injured. She then pinched his neck and looked at him. She rolled up his sleeves to look at him. She wished she could even take off his boots. Yan Fei was dumbfounded by her actions. , seeing that she was wearing thin clothes, asked her why she didn't wear more clothes when she came out. He took off his cloak and wrapped it around her body. At this time, four more people came over.

Seeing Yan Fei, Su Shi looked happy, while He He and Ling Dang were surprised. They thought something was urgent, but they didn't expect that their princess had come to pick him up. Xiao Anzi greeted Yan Fei diligently. …

On the other hand, Jingzhe went back to the inn to report the situation to Murong Ze. When he heard Yan Fei's arrival, his dark eyes slightly raised, revealing a hint of contempt and amusement.

"That arrives so fast."

This sentence happened to be heard by Yan Fei who walked in. He said, "It turns out that the prince is also here. I thought he had gone back long ago." Murong Ze said, "The emperor specifically allowed me to go to the capital to visit my father. The princess did not tell You?" Ye Lingxi cursed in her heart, wanting to take the blame. She shook her head at Yan Fei, saying that she didn't know, and told him not to listen to the other party's nonsense. Yan Fei responded with a gentle look on her face, expressing her belief in her.

Murong Ze glanced at the two of them being intimate, and said playfully, "I thought the princess ran away because she was sleepwalking as she told me before. It turned out that she was going to pick up someone. This made Mr. Su very worried. She was really nervous." The last two sentences filled the air with a hint of embarrassment.

Su Shi bowed to Ye Lingxi and left, preparing to go back to the room upstairs. Ye Lingxi asked him to take Yanfei with him. If there was no room available, the two of them would squeeze in. Xiao Anzi took the initiative to give up his room, and Lingdang had an idea. , saying that Aunt Qiu’s room happened to be vacant, He He pulled her sleeves, and the bell was not clear, Ye Lingxi pushed Yan Fei and Su Shi upstairs, asking them to talk for a while, but not too late He had to go on a journey the next day, so Xiao Anzi went to rest quickly, and she also took He He and Bell back to the room upstairs.

The inn returned to calm again, with only the candlelight in the lobby flickering slightly. Murong Ze was still reading, as if he planned to read all night.

When the door upstairs opened again, the pair of gloomy eyes raised slightly, glanced upstairs, and saw Yan Fei walking out and walking past the stairs towards Ye Lingxi's room.

"It's so late, why bother the princess?" Murong Ze said casually, his voice neither high nor low, sounding a bit gloomy.

Yan Fei stopped for a moment, looked downstairs, and continued walking forward without saying anything. When he almost reached the door of Ye Lingxi's room, he stopped again and hesitated whether to knock on the door. , he wanted to tell her about the poison, he didn't want to hide anything from her, and he didn't want her to know about it. He felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't want her to worry for nothing. He felt really conflicted.

After standing for a long time, he decided to find a suitable time to say it later. The moment he turned around, the door behind him quietly opened a crack. He heard a slight movement, turned around, and stretched out a hand from the crack in the door to beckon him over. , Yan Fei looked a little funny, calmed down his expression, and walked over.

"Are the injuries healed?" Ye Lingxi asked quietly in a low voice. Yanfei nodded. She said it was fine and didn't ask any more questions. She asked him to rest early. Yanfei nodded and asked her to rest early too. , she stuck her head out and looked around again, then stood up on her tiptoes and pecked him on the face, then slipped back into the room and closed the door as nimbly as a rabbit.

Yanfei stood for a while longer, recalling the gentle touch on his face. The smile unconsciously spread from the bottom of his eyes to the corners of his mouth. After calming down his expression, he stepped away.

When he passed the stairs, he glanced downstairs. Murong Ze was still reading. He went back to Su Shi and found an empty room to rest. After closing the door, he frowned. After coming out of the Fire Dragon Spring, The residual burning sensation on the skin has not completely gone away.

Zhen Po suggested that he rest for two more days before setting off. He rushed over as soon as he heard the news that Murong Ze was staying in the same inn. Zhen Po was not worried about his recovery ability. If ordinary people soaked in the spring like him, I'm afraid I couldn't stand it any longer to get rid of the cold poison. Before I could wait for the dragon's breath at the bottom of the spring, I climbed ashore first. It was the second time for Zhen Po to see him like him who endured the dragon's breath without even saying a word. Although the banquet was Fei had never revealed his identity, but when Zhen Po heard that his surname was Yan, she immediately recognized him as that person's son. Both father and son were proud. Unfortunately, he died at a young age. Now that he sees Yan Fei, he can be regarded as kind of comfort.

These real ladies had never told Yanfei. Yanfei didn't know that the other party knew his father, and he didn't even know that his father had arranged a marriage for him to repay Zhenpo for saving his life. Fortunately, Ah Li was a The man also has a girl he likes in his heart, but unfortunately he can’t find her now. That girl is Yue’er.

Yan Fei left four Long Shadow Guards to continue to explore the whereabouts of Lu Fen and Lu Yan. Lin Yi also mobilized the elite of the army to search for the two men, even if they dug three feet into the ground, they would find those children.
