My Master Jinyiwei

Chapter 35

Xu Shijin said softly, "I don't care about other people, but how could I hurt you? If there is one person in this world who is worthy of my hesitation, it is only you. You don't have to belittle yourself."

She said this to Liu Ling.

Liu Ling was expressionless and pretended not to hear such warm words.She really knew Xu Shijin very well. Although she was a good friend, if necessary, Xu Shijin would not be lenient - at most, she would save Liu Ling's life.

Xu Shijin's words cannot be completely taken seriously, but right now, it is not beneficial for the Xu family to entangle with Jin Yiwei.Because the Lu family happened to have something to do, the Xu family had no choice but to just sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, why bother to get involved?So for the time being, Xu Shijin's words are credible.

Even so, Jin Yiwei stayed and checked again.During this period, Shen Yan was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. Liu Ling seemed to like the village he went to before, and ran over to play every now and then, but no one said no.After a few years, the matter in Ningzhou came to an end, and the Jinyiwei bid farewell to General Xu and prepared to go on the road.

After celebrating grandpa's birthday, Xu Shijin should leave here.She was indeed a thoughtful girl, she was afraid that her colleagues would make Shen Yan suspicious and confused, so she greeted them and went back to Yejing first.Sitting in the carriage, he opened the curtain to see Ningzhou in the distance, and the maid handed him a cup of warm tea.Miss Xu caressed the tea cover and smiled inexplicably.

"Girl, what are you laughing at?" Nuan Xiang, the maid, asked curiously.

Xu Shijin leaned on the cushion, and said in a lazy and playful voice, "Assassination of Jin Yiwei is thanks to the Lu family who can think of it. If he fails once, he wants to assassinate the second and third times. The person in charge is really clueless. When Shen Yan returns to Yejing, it will be Jin Yiwei who will deal with the Lu family. Relying on their century-old family, the Lu family dares to challenge Jin Yiwei... Who doesn't know that Jin Yiwei is now His Majesty's new favorite. There are so many idiots who can't see the facts clearly .I'm so happy."

"Of course the Lu family can't compare with you, girl. You were once a lady in charge of His Majesty's imperial court. What is there that you don't know about a girl? In this regard, the Lu family can't get in touch, so of course you will make mistakes." Nuan Xiang said without a trace Praise your own girl.

Xu Shijin was not blown away by the praise. She patted the maid's head and said softly, "No, the Lu family made such a foolish move because the person who gave the order was stupid and eager for quick success. If Lu Mingshan was in charge, he would kill him once and for all. Shen Yan, I won't make any more moves... The one in charge now should be Lu Mingshan's younger brother, Lu Ming'an, right? Compared to Lu Mingshan's methods, that one is definitely worse."

"In short, the Lu family is now passive." Nuan Xiang said.

"Well, Yejing knows what Lu Mingan did, and they must be mad. Lu Mingshan... Wait, let me think about it," Xu Shijin sat up straight suddenly, withdrew his smile, and his eyes flickered slightly.After a long while, she said in a deep voice, "I really underestimated Lu Mingshan. He has been away from Yejing for more than half a year, and I always thought he was squeezed out by his family to perform other tasks. I also thought it was because he didn't return for a long time. His trip didn't go well. But now that he thinks about it, he must have known about Yun Yi being captured by Jin Yiwei, and he must use this to teach his impatient younger brother who wants to fight for power with him a lesson."

"It's more difficult for him to get ahead in the Lu family, and to get into the eyes of the seniors of the Lu family. It's more difficult than others who have the care of his mother's family. Of course, he won't do this kind of thing that offends Jin Yiwei."

"That is to say, before Jin Yiwei and his party successfully enter the capital, Mr. Lu will not show up?" Nuan Xiang was slightly startled. After all, in the girl's plan, Mr. Lu should be stopped by the princess and his party on the way.

"No, he will appear." Xu Shijin regained his composure, and the light smile returned to her face, and he leaned back lazily again.The thick curtain was shaken by the carriage, and occasionally a ray of light came in, reflecting her beautiful face as holy as ice and snow. "The Lu family provoked Jin Yiwei and made such a foolish move. Of course, someone needs to clean up the mess. Isn't Lu Mingshan just waiting for this opportunity? Besides, Miss Yue and A Ling are together, so he is naturally restless and can't wait to solve this matter thing."

"Miss, you are really exhaustive," Nuan Xiang sincerely boasted, and then hesitated, "but from the maidservant's point of view, the princess seems to be a little unclear with Mr. Shen. After all, the princess is your friend for many years, and the girl will continue Counting on the princess?"

"How dare I?" Xu Shijin smiled, "With Lord Shen around, how dare I target Ah Ling? I dare not try Master Shen's methods."

Nuan Xiang was slightly relieved.In her heart, anyone can sacrifice her daughter for her own benefit.These years, the girl has had a hard time, but she has also become paranoid.As she went farther and farther, the servants who were close to the girl were always worried that if the girl turned around, she would never find a way back.But they dare not say these things, after all, even Princess Changle acquiesces and doesn't care.

Nuan Xiang only hopes that Princess Changle will always be by the girl's side when people come and go.The princess said, "You die as you please, it's useless to beg me", but if the girl dies, the princess will definitely give her a hand.The girl still retains her friendship with the princess, hiding it in the deepest part of her heart and not letting anyone touch it.That was the last hope in her heart, and she didn't want to give up.

Nuan Xiang hopes that the girl will never let go.When the girl doesn't care about anything, it's the time when she can't turn back.

Nuan Xiang heard Xu Shijin's sweet words, "Nuan Xiang, you don't know. After you return to Yejing, you will find that A Ling and Shen Yan are an unblessed couple. You probably think that I value profit, although I Gravity, although it will hurt A Ling, but it will not put a knife in A Ling's heart. Those people are different... If there is one person in this world who really wants A Ling and Shen Yan to get together, it must be me .”

"I'm not that kind, but I'm not cold either."

People in this world are like this.When you get involved in that circle, you are often involuntary.They are all in that circle, only Liu Ling wanders on the edge of the circle.She can come in and out at any time.Liu Ling herself lives like a ghost, who can be her master?Sometimes Xu Shijin envies Liu Ling: This princess lives here, but her spiritual world is far away from here.Talking about interests with her is whimsical, because she doesn't care; unless you can step on her sore spot, but that's just to win a mentally disturbed person, and it's still useless.

When will Xu Shijin be as chic as Liu Ling?

Liu Ling is living a very unrestrained life now.

Jin Yiwei wanted to follow the trail of those fleeing assassins, so he chased them all the way to this small town.Taking out the portraits, Jin Yiwei went door to door asking if he had seen these people.Some say yes, some say no, and the details must always be clarified.It's nothing, what makes Liu Ling depressed is that this town is too poor, all the able-bodied men go out to work, and only a group of old people, daughters and children stay at home.Looking around on the street, there are rows of red makeup, like "daughter country".

When Jin Yiwei's handsome and mighty little brothers walked into the crowd, they looked like pieces of good fat, and a group of women who didn't know what it meant to be ashamed surrounded them like hungry wolves.And Jin Yiwei is not easy to lose his temper, after all, he provided important information.

Shen Yan's situation could be better, but it can't be called good.

He was so well-born, as soon as he stood there, a bunch of women would consciously look at him.But Mr. Shen was too cold, his eyes swept away, it was cold and bleak, and there was a huge emptiness around him instantly, no one dared to provoke him.

Seeing this scene, all the maids suddenly felt that their princess did not die under Mr. Shen's eyes, it was really courageous.

Liu Ling recalled: Shen Yan did often look at her with emotionless and cold eyes, but she... really didn't care.

Ling Bi clapped her hands and laughed, "Master Shen is just very personable, unlike those stinky men who can't walk when they see a woman. Look at him...uh."

Liu Ling looked, with a faint expression in her eyes: Shen Yan took a piece of kraft paper, looked around, picked the most beautiful woman, and walked over.

Seen from Liu Ling's direction, the two chatted happily.That woman had obviously been married before, and she had a charm that a little girl like Liu Ling didn't have.The woman's eyes were almost glued to Shen Yan's body, Liu Ling could imagine how charming her tone was without looking.

Another beautiful woman hesitated for a while, then walked over to speak, Shen Yan did not refuse...

Lingxi stared at him with sparks in his eyes, and was about to die of anger - how could Mr. Shen do this!

Liu Ling had been staring at Shen Yan's figure indifferently, she didn't respond to what he did, and just watched from afar indifferently.She thought mockingly in her heart: blame her for having such a good eye, the man she picked is so coquettish, everyone likes it.Shen Yan's appearance and personality are indeed very attractive, but why hasn't he ever been married?

Although she didn't know about Shen Yan's background, some clues told her: Even if Shen Yan's background was not as good as Xu's and Lu's, it was definitely not bad.Such a character has always been a sought-after item among noble ladies in Beijing.Why didn't Shen Yan get married?

He...couldn't plan to dedicate his life to the cause of Jinyiwei, right?

When Shen Yan came back, she found that Liu Ling looked at him strangely.He thought that Liu Ling was angry because he just talked to a few girls. Shen Yan would not explain his behavior to others, but Liu Ling's eyes were too weird, so he said a little too much, "Don't think too much. You are usually pretty. Women are easy to recruit, and they know a lot more information than others. I'm doing business, so don't think about it."

"Surrounded by a group of beauties, did you enjoy it?" Liu Ling asked with a sullen face.

Shen Yan laughed and heard that Liu Ling was not angry, so she resumed her normal tone and said, "I was born to worry about my life, and I can't enjoy the grace of a beautiful woman."

Liu Ling nodded and stopped talking.

Seeing that Liu Ling wasn't getting emotional, Shen Yan continued to do her own thing.Liu Ling and the maids have been standing by the side of the road, watching Master Shen walk towards another beauty.Lingxi whispered to the princess, "Princess, you have to be more careful. Like that..." She glanced at the pale and haggard Yue Ling beside her, and the meaning was self-evident, "Even if Master Shen is not attracted by beauty Move, princess, you have to tell these people that Mr. Shen is yours, and you can't be robbed again."

"What you said makes sense," Yue Ling, who had been silent all this time, said sarcastically, "but Master Shen is doing business, how could the princess disturb you unreasonably? Doesn't this arouse Master Shen's disgust? Is Mrs. Shen willing to leave his affairs behind and walk towards her?"

Mr. Shen is extremely cold-blooded. How can a little girl like the princess be an opponent?
Liu Ling raised her eyebrows, "Of course I can."

The maid looked suspiciously at her princess.

Yue Ling's face turned pale, and she bit her lips tightly: Liu Ling remained silent when others were talking, and didn't care what they said.I just said a word, and Liu Ling said...

Yue Ling said, "I don't believe Master Shen will love you so much." Even to such an extent, she didn't bother to pretend.

Liu Ling said lazily, "He doesn't have to love me deeply, I can make him turn his head, just watch."

She took a step forward.

The wind blows the clothes and skirts, and there are people coming and going in the front, back, left, and right.It is densely packed, the world is separated, and she is the only one who is independent.The sunrise in Lantian, the birds shuttle among the clouds.The sun shines on her, and her soul is far away from people, suitable for talking to herself.

Then strode forward, the steps became bigger and bigger, throwing away the people behind her, Liu Ling looked directly at Shen Yan behind the crowd.

He was tall and tall, looking down at something without looking back.He is tall in the crowd, like a pine and cypress.He looked at people with indifferent eyes, and his tone of voice was indifferent.His soul is also different from others, rigorous and free, not controlled by anyone.

A sparrow landed on his shoulder, jumping and chirping.He glanced at it lightly and ignored it.

Liu Ling put her heart on him, and suddenly felt that she was that bird.The wings were wet by the rain, and I just wanted to rest on his shoulders for a short time to rest.But Shen Yan attracts her like a mystery, and pulls her into obsession like a poppy.She herself likes this kind of uncontrollable things... So she stopped on his shoulder, always thinking about waiting, and then leaving when I had enough rest.

There seemed to be a carriage running over behind her, but Liu Ling couldn't hear it, her eyes were fixed on Shen Yan.At this moment, she couldn't hear anything, and she could only see such a person with her eyes.

Shen Yan looked back inadvertently as if she had a feeling.Turning around, he frowned and his face changed slightly.People around fled away one after another, only Liu Ling stood in the middle of the road, with a carriage speeding towards her behind her.The carriage was out of control, and the groom yelled anxiously in the carriage, yelling to make way.And Liu Ling seemed to be completely deaf.

She looked at him, dark and silent.

Shen Yan suddenly fell into an ice cave, his blood froze, and his whole body was icy cold.She was standing in the lively world, but he seemed to have seen her standing in the dark abyss.

"Princess!" Shen Yan called out.

"Princess!" By the time he yelled a second time, the man had already swept back quickly.

He saw Liu Ling smiling at him.

Suddenly she began to sing—

"Lang, Lang, you are like a velvet hat blown in the wind to make a show, and the ripe yellow plums are very popular."

When her voice opened, everyone was startled and thought she was crazy.

The scene is really weird—even if her voice is sweet, mellow and full, even if her emotions are in place, and her singing is beautiful, she can't stand the speeding carriage behind her.Everyone couldn't avoid it, but she still had time to sing.

"Lang, Lang, you seem like a branch blooming in the back garden, and flowers everywhere are waiting for me."

"Lang, lang,..."

"You seem to be flying thousands of miles under the moon, and the sleepless window panel makes me think."

Liu Ling was thrown to the ground by Shen Yan, and when the carriage was about to run over the two of them, Shen Yan took her to the side to avoid being injured.But Shen Yan finally heard the last line she sang - you travel thousands of miles like frost under the moon, and the sleepless windows make me think.

Sweat dripped from Shen Yan's forehead, and the corners of his mouth and cheek muscles were almost distorted due to emotional exposure.He was pulling her, about to break her arm, and his lowered eyes clearly showed that he wanted to hit her.Liu Ling's whole body ached from being pulled by him, and he heard him angrily yelling in his ear, "You crazy!"

He didn't even want to talk to her, and after she got out of trouble, he got up and left.But after walking a few steps, I heard a thin voice behind me, "Shen Yan..."

He took a step, but stopped.

With a low curse, Shen Yan turned her head and saw the maids embracing each other in a panic. Liu Ling's face was pale and she fainted.Shen Yan walked back without saying a word, and picked her up, "What are you looking at? Please come the doctor."

Shen Yan originally didn't plan to stay in this small town, but because of Liu Ling's departure, he had no choice but to arrange for Jin Yiwei to stay for a couple of days to inquire about more news.Resting in a cleanly furnished private house, Shen Yan stood in the courtyard for a long time, and then went in when it was almost time, glanced at the patient on the bed, and then asked the doctor, "How is she?"

"Oh, it's okay. The girl was just frightened, and the skin should be scratched on her body. The old man left some medicine and just rub it on the girl."

Shen Yan nodded and sent someone to take the doctor out.

Standing at the door, he suddenly said, "Call Lingxi Lingbi."

The second daughter came over nervously and greeted Mr. Shen.Seeing Mr. Shen's quiet back with his back to them, they felt uneasy and didn't know what Mr. Shen wanted to ask.

Shen Yan was silent for a long time, and asked softly, "Is she sick?"

This tone doesn't sound like a curse.

But, "No. My princess has a weird temper sometimes, but most of the time it's normal. What happened today... should, it should just be her occasional tantrum."

"When was the last time she did this?"

"Ah... Mr. Shen, you are asking too strangely. Isn't my princess always like this?" The second daughter laughed dryly, her eyes averted a little, not knowing what Shen Yan meant.

Shen Yan nodded thoughtfully, and stopped asking: It seems that her maid may know about her problem... but she doesn't think it's a big deal.

The last time she had the idea of ​​committing suicide, it can be said that she occasionally couldn't think about it.But for things like today, Liu Ling obviously has no abnormal thoughts.She wasn't crazy, she still wanted to sing to him.She was in a good mood—but that was the only way to see that she was out of order.

The temptation of death to her is too great, and she can hardly control it herself.

Shen Yan's gaze was heavy, watching the sun go down and the night go down.He seems to have heard her singing and smile at that time again——You seem to be flying thousands of miles under the moon, and the window panel is sleepless, which makes me think.

There was a stabbing pain in his heart, like a knife cutting hard.

"Lord Shen, the princess is awake." After standing for an unknown amount of time, she heard the voice of the maid calling.

Shen Yan brushed off the frost stained on her body, and walked into the room.When the maid went out, he sat by the bed, watched Liu Ling sit up, and chatted a few nonsense about paying attention to the body.It was as if the things he scolded her didn't happen before she fell into a coma.But Liu Ling was in a state of mind, she was afraid that Shen Yan would get angry.But Shen Yan didn't get angry with her, she was still afraid.

He saw this side of her.

Will you not want her?

She never dared to show this side of herself to others, just because she was afraid of frightening others, and also afraid that someone would show mercy to enlighten her.She had sought advice from various famous doctors, but those people would only enlighten her and tell her how precious life is - if she could be enlightened, wouldn't she like herself like this?And no matter whether it was intentional or not, Shen Yan saw her side, or saw it twice.

"Okay, you can rest." Shen Yan stood up, intending to give her space.But after walking a few steps, he stopped again and looked back at her with hesitant eyes, as if making up his mind again.

Liu Ling sat down quietly: Here we come, here we go again.

Like those people, either say "You are too scary, we don't fit together", or say "Don't be so malicious to the world, you should think more about the beautiful side of life".She has long been used to these clichés.

Shen Yan came back, put her head on her hair, rubbed it lightly, and said after deliberation, "Don't be afraid, next time you encounter such a thing, I will still protect you."

"...Why are you here next time?"

"Well, are you planning to give up from beginning to end?" Shen Yan said coldly.

Liu Ling raised her eyes to look at him, but said nothing.

Shen Yan didn't show much emotion on his face, he just rubbed her hair, and said in a straight voice, "You can try to throw this kind of problem to me."

Liu Ling looked at him coldly, feeling a touch in her heart.

The two stared at each other for a while, bright or dark.

Liu Ling put her hand in his, her hand was shaking, her nails were cold, and she could see the struggle and fear in her heart.But her tone was calm, making people feel that she was both serious and casual, "Then my life and death will be left to Mr. Shen."

Shen Yan leaned over, lifted her forehead hair, and placed a light kiss on her forehead, "Good girl."

Liu Ling didn't feel much about all the words before.But just his leaning over to kiss her almost made her cry.She felt that she was being cherished.After discovering so many problems with her, she was waiting for Shen Yan to let go, but Shen Yan didn't let go, and he was still willing to continue walking with her.

She only teased him a few times, and he returned her with sincerity.

Such a heart is too precious, she must cherish it carefully.

Liu Ling had only rested for half a day, and she said that she didn't like this place, the place was dilapidated, the people were ugly, there was almost no room to stay, she wanted to leave quickly.Others asked her to stay and rest for two more days, but she also responded with a dismissive expression.When she behaved like this, some locals felt that she had an odd personality, but Shen Yan could see that she was unwilling to waste her time.

Some people are saying how bad Liu Ling is.

But this time, Shen Yan didn't want to bother.She's a good girl, he just needs to know.

This time, the rushing process has been accelerated, and with a few more stations, they can return to Yejing.The more this happened, the more cautious Jin Yiwei was, lest any accidents happen at this moment.And sure enough, assassinations were even more frequent.After walking for a few days, it rained heavily in the afternoon, and the group was trapped in the mountain temple.Shen Yan and Zhu Jinyiwei went to interrogate the captured assassin and Yun Yi, while Liu Ling saw that everyone was busy cooking.

"Master Shen, have you eaten yet?" Liu Ling called to stop Luo Fan.

Luo Fan had a bitter face, "Master Shen just took a sip of soup in a hurry and didn't eat anything else."

Liu Ling was silent.

Luo Fan complained like he found a confidant, "When there are too many things, Mr. Shen is like this. He doesn't take his body seriously. He is also a vegetarian, unlike everyone else. It is even more troublesome to eat. He is often hungry. Princess, He hesitated for a while, and said expectantly, "Go to persuade Mr. Shen?"

"Can I persuade you?" Liu Ling asked back.

"..." Luo Fan also didn't believe that Liu Ling could persuade him.When Liu Ling saw it before, she said it twice.But Liu Ling didn't like chasing after people and talking about it every day. After saying it twice, Liu Ling didn't bother to speak.

But it's not okay for Shen Yan to skip meals like this.

In addition, Liu Ling also felt sorry for Shen Yan for the carriage incident that happened in the town a few days ago.

She pondered for a moment, "Go and tell Mr. Shen that I will be in charge of the cooking myself, so I beg him to show respect."

"Huh? Princess, do you know how to cook?" Luo Fan was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear. Princess Changle really didn't seem like a person who would follow the route of "good wife and loving mother".

Liu Ling rolled his eyes at him, and walked towards the improvised cauldron.

after a while--

"Go and ask Mr. Shen, how to burn the fire?"

"Ask Shen Yan, why is the smoke so big?"

"Ask Shen Yan, my vegetables have been poured in, why did the flames rise so high?!"

"Shen Yan..."

"Shen Yan is right behind you, just ask whatever you want." The young man's words came from behind his ears.

Liu Ling's ears felt hot, she turned her head and saw Shen Yan squatting behind her, she didn't know how long she looked at it.Maybe when she called people to call him over and over again, he was so annoyed that he just came over to look.

"I'm cooking for you..." Liu Ling was cheeky.

Shen Yan laughed, and wiped the charcoal marks on her face with her fingers, "I know, isn't this flattering, come to appreciate your cooking skills, princess?"

His teasing tone clearly showed that he didn't trust her.

Liu Ling was about to argue with him with a straight face, when Shen Yan pinched her chin and turned to the cauldron, "The food will be burnt by you!"

Then I poured water again, put out the fire again, and looked for the lid of the pot again, all in a hurry.

"Master Shen, there is a group of people coming, and they seem to be hiding from the rain in the mountain temple." Jin Yiwei came to inform that Shen Yan was supporting Liu Ling, paying attention to her all the time, lest she would mess herself up. He nodded casually.The mountain temple does not belong to his family. Others keep out the rain if they like, and he doesn't care about other business.

Shen Yan was reprimanding Liu Ling, "You really know how to cook?"

"I will, I have read a lot of books about meals."

"...Dare to ask the princess, how many times are you cooking?" Shen Yan had a bad feeling.

"For the first time," Liu Ling realized that Shen Yan's face was blackened by her own words, and she hurriedly made amends, "My first cooking, of course, should be reserved for a worthy person like Mr. Shen, and I disdain to serve others."

With a cold face, Shen Yan pushed Liu Ling back, "I'll do it."

"No! This is my wish, Mr. Shen, please don't act like this." Liu Ling rushed back and competed with Shen Yan for the head chef's seat.

The two of them were making a fuss when they suddenly heard a low-pitched laugh.

As if struck by lightning, Liu Ling dropped the shovel in her hand and turned her head.

In front of the mountain temple, a group of strange men came. A young man in purple was holding an umbrella. He lifted the umbrella, revealing a smooth and elegant chin, and then those gentle eyes, "A Ling, it's been a long time since you left. Became so lively, I didn't even know it."

Liu Ling stared blankly at him, forgetting to breathe.

She forgot everything and looked at the man in front of her.

Her voice was cold, "Of course you don't know, you haven't taken me to heart for a long time."

Lu Mingshan.

The man she once carried all hope and love for.

After she gave up, he popped up again.

"A Ling, you misunderstood me." Lu Mingshan smiled, out of the corner of his eye, he did not forget to catch a glimpse of Shen Yan who was beside Liu Ling with a stiff expression.

He narrowed his eyes.
