Chapter 38

The word "Ling" in Liu Ling's name, Congshui, can also describe the clear and clear voice.

From birth to now, she has not had many opportunities to introduce herself to others.The princess is an honor bestowed on her by God, she really doesn't need much introduction.But to tell Shen Yan his name, although it is novel, it is not such a beautiful moment worth remembering.

——Why are you always following me?Are you afraid that I won't be able to think about jumping into the river?

Although she spoke to Shen Yan in a self-deprecating tone, Liu Ling knew that it was not a joke.

When she was a child, she thought about whether her mother's death was also due to her taking such a name?

There was so much water that it overflowed, so her mother died in the water.

"You killed your own mother!" her father scolded her.

He's always said that since he was a kid.

Everyone says so.

"I killed my mother." Liu Ling also said to herself in her heart.

So, when standing by the river, when facing the boundless water, when feeling the coolness and calling of the water, how can Liu Ling not think about her mother?

She talked to Shen Yan naturally, but what she saw in her eyes was how her mother killed herself in the lonely autumn rain when she was young.

The mother's death is vivid in her mind, how can she communicate with others normally?
"Have you never thought of being buried with your mother?" The current Princess Quang Binh couldn't believe her stepdaughter's indifference.

Liu Ling was just so silent, carrying it hard, and she lived alone in her mother's yard.It rains every day, and ghosts cry every night.She has grown up to this age, and still lives there.

When she saw any larger and wider water, she couldn't help but think about it, and wanted to take a look.

On one side is the silent world of black and white, and on the other side is an unexciting life...

She saw her mother standing wet in the water, entwined with water plants, long hair like algae, struggling to move.The mother spoke to her, with a gentle tone like telling a story, "A Ling, come down and accompany me. I have been waiting for you for many years, and I miss you the most. I am very lonely."

"Are you okay?" Shen Yan questioned, aware of her unnaturalness.

Liu Ling took a deep breath, lowered her head, and didn't look at her mother's hand stretched out to her. She shrank back and said to Shen Yan, "My name is Liu Ling, Cong Shui Cong Ling."

Her palms were sweaty.

"Liu Ling." Shen Yan nodded, her voice was calm, "I remember."

Liu Ling suddenly raised her head to look at him, and looked at Shen Yan's thick and clear eyebrows full of peace and comfort.She was touched and emotional in her heart. No one had ever called her by her first name, but it didn't make her feel alienated and disgusted.

Shen Yan put her hands on her forehead that was blown cold and sweaty by the wind, she put her face down, leaned against his shoulder, and said calmly, "Liu Ling, listen, what's the problem here, you have to tell me."

Liu Ling seemed to have heard Shen Yan's promise to her back then, "I am also different from what you think. You don't know, but I will protect you."

She didn't know if he could really do it, and she didn't know if she could hold on.In an instant, many past events flashed through my mind.The mother's quiet side face, a snail on the banana tree at home, a puppy jumping off her lap, a flower blooming, a leaf falling, Bodhi with one heart... The world is beautiful, but believe in evil.

Liu Ling said to those voices, "Shut up!"

Death tempted her all the time, and she fought hard.

Shen Yan made her heart beat every moment, and she stepped forward to meet him.

It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong, should or shouldn't be, Liu Ling just wants to do this.

whatever.

She stepped back, her body seemed to lose the strength to support it instantly, and she sent her whole body into Shen Yan's arms.His embrace was not wide, and it was even cool, not even warm.But leaning against him, when her cold hand held Shen Yan's generous palm, she really felt the warmth again.His calloused fingertips made Liu Ling feel at ease.

She whispered to him, "I want to leave here. Shen Yan, I can't stay here."

Shen Yan turned her head, glanced at the calm water surface, and then at the girl in her arms who was getting weaker and weaker.This water is like a black hole, with the magic power to lure people into the abyss.Liu Ling stood here at the beginning, and she could still talk and laugh, but now she was desolate and desolate, as if she had been drained of all blood.

He nodded, "OK."

Regardless of the reason, Shen Yan protected Liu Ling.When a swaying leaf landed on the center of the water, Shen Yan had already clasped her waist, held Liu Ling in his arms and rose from the ground, sweeping towards the horizon with swift and light kung fu.Feng Yang Shui Qing, they left this piece of world far behind.

Liu Ling touched Shen Yan with her chin, and hugged him tightly.Her eyes were open and her expression was calm.Only her long nails clasped tightly on Shen Yan's shoulders revealed her thoughts a little.

She saw the water getting farther and farther away from her, and saw her mother send her away with a disappointed expression.

——A Ling, why don't you come down to accompany me?

--Sorry.I can't accompany you, I know you are fake.

Liu Ling said to herself in her heart, convincing herself over and over again.

Those are all fake.

she knows.

Only Shen Yan holding her is real.She hugged Shen Yan tightly, as if holding a hope of her own.Her hope is like a sun, holding her up from the chaos and nothingness.

The setting sun shone on Shen Yan's face, golden and brilliant.Liu Ling suddenly thought—maybe all her previous sufferings were just waiting for Shen Yan to appear.Maybe he could be the light of her life.After all...he was good-looking.

At this time, Liu Ling's heart was sweet, and she was extremely happy with Shen Yan.She listed Shen Yan's advantages and disadvantages, and then found that in her eyes, Mr. Shen has no shortcomings.He is good-looking, mature, rich, and omnipotent; he can joke, tease her, and pick the stars and the moon to play with her.

Shen Yan's only shortcoming is that he likes her too rationally.

But that's not a flaw - she's always going to drive him crazy.

Her Lord Shen, he is the only one, he is unique, she wants him.

But only one day later, Liu Ling overthrew her beautiful love.

Her Lord Shen should be strong and confident, calm and steady.He can make fun of her, he can deliberately bully her, and he can not take her seriously.But how could he reach an agreement and cooperate with someone like Lu Mingshan?Liu Ling doesn't really care whether he cooperates or not. What annoys her is, how could he hurt herself?
When Lingxi Lingbi hurriedly came to tell her, "My servant heard the movement of fighting outside, and was chased back by Jin Yiwei as soon as I went. My servant heard that Mr. Shen shed a lot of blood..."

She didn't finish her sentence, because the princess of their family had turned pale and opened the door to go out.

It turned out that they were in this line of work and met the person who came to assassinate him again.The scale of this assassination was unprecedentedly powerful, and the people from Lu Mingshan also helped Jin Yiwei, and together with Jin Yiwei, they chased and killed these assassins.Both sides were brave, and the other side also wanted to take the lives of Shen Yan and Lu Mingshan, so the battle was fierce.

As a result, both Shen Yan and Lu Mingshan were injured.

Thankfully, the assassin was all killed, or captured.

After ordering Jin Yiwei to clean up the battlefield and clean up the details, Lu Mingshan walked over with blood all over his body, and handed over to Shen Yan wearily, "Master Shen, you should believe now that the Lu family did not participate in the assassination of Jin Yiwei, right?"

Shen Yan glanced at Lu Mingshan, both of them knew each other.This was the reconciliation that Lu Mingshan and Shen Yan reached after a few days of wrangling and concessions.Lu Mingshan can help Shen Yan wipe out the enemy, but Shen Yan wants to take the Lu family out.As for the assassins who were wiped out, they were the dead men of the Lu family. Lu Mingshan couldn't control how much Jin Yiwei could let Yun Yi spit out, and how much valuable information he could pry out from the dead men.

His Majesty was already dissatisfied with the several great families, and always wanted to find a proper reason. It would be best to copy the several great families.The Xu family didn't even dare to enter the imperial court, and their Lu family had to keep their heads down.Before the other party has an arrangement, Jin Yiwei must not make any mistakes.

Lu Mingshan waited nervously for Shen Yan's reply: the two had only made a verbal agreement before, and he was afraid that Shen Yan would not keep his word.Judging from his understanding of dealing with Shen Yan for many years, Shen Yan is a person who promises everything.But I can't completely believe it... After all, Jin Yiwei is a genius, and Mr. Shen will have a dark heart at some point.

No matter how Shen Yan interrupted him afterwards, he had no intention of becoming an enemy of the Lu family.He responded to Lu Mingshan's words, "I see."

"Brother Ming! Brother Ming!" As they were talking, they heard the anxious voice of the girl's family. Following the sound, the person running from a distance was the panic-stricken Yue Ling. Her long hair was a little messy. The news of a lover's injury, without a backbone, makes the whole person feel empty.It wasn't until he saw Lu Mingshan that his eyes lit up, he ran towards his sweetheart, and threw himself into his arms, "They said you were seriously injured! Brother Ming, I was terrified! You must have nothing to do, absolutely nothing to do..."

"Don't worry, sister Ling, I'm fine. Don't cry..." Lu Mingshan wiped away Yue Ling's tears with tenderness.Feeling the familiar atmosphere again, he unconsciously looked up, and it was the princess of Changle with great fanfare.

Yue Ling was haggard because of worrying about his sweetheart, but when Princess Changle came, he was calm and calm, as if he was bringing a group of people to inspect.

Behind Liu Ling was the doctor, the maid, and the servant. The whole group walked into the bloody battlefield before.She smoothed the strands of hair hanging down her cheeks, rolled up her long sleeves, revealing a bright wrist and a green bracelet on it.She glanced around leisurely, and only when her eyes fell on this side did she walk over.

Like Lu Mingshan, Shen Yan's eyes also fell on Liu Ling.

Liu Ling looked at Lu Mingshan.

Shen Yan slowly felt the discomfort in his body, which made his face turn pale.

With a pleasant smile on Lu Mingshan's face, he gently pushed Yue Ling who was supporting him, who was weeping, to meet Liu Ling, "A Ling, thank you..."

Liu Ling looked at him, "What a pity, why didn't the assassin kill you?"

"..." Lu Mingshan's face froze all of a sudden, the shame and anger of being slapped in the face wrapped him up, and he gritted his teeth.

Liu Ling brushed past him.

She stood in front of Shen Yan, her eyes straight and calm, ignoring Shen Yan's instant gentle facial expression, her eyes fell on his injured arm.

She took another step forward, reached out and patted his injured arm, and sighed, "It turns out that you, Mr. Shen, will also be injured. It's incredible."

"..." Liu Ling patted with great force, gnashing her teeth, with a ferocious expression, and patted Shen Yan's wound.With her posture and strength, she can't wait for Shen Yan to vomit another three liters of blood.

Everyone felt Master Shen's pain and sadness, and hurriedly lowered their heads, fearing that they would meet the eyes of the princess, and that woman would find themselves.

This is a sick woman, fuck!
"..." Lu Mingshan was also slightly stunned.He thought to himself whether he could bear it if Liu Ling treated him like this.The result of his thinking was not optimistic, he calmly pulled Yue Ling back, away from this terrifying woman.He thought to himself: Ah Ling was simple and pure before, and he liked her very much.But maybe it was true as she said, she was all pretending.His Ah Ling would not be so... cruel.

Only a strong character like Shen Yan didn't get angry, and Qing Lingling's black eyes were still shining with stars, "eyebrows" with Liu Ling.What's the use of smiling nicely, look, success has rekindled the anger in the eyes of the princess, right?
Liu Ling turned her head and asked the servants who followed her, "Did you bring all the brushes and rice paper you prepared?"

Lingbi swallowed like a fly, reluctantly nodded, "Go back to the Princess, the servants have made arrangements."

"Okay, then..." Shen Yan covered her mouth.

Shen Yan rubbed her snowy cheeks, suppressed a smile, "Let's go back and go crazy again, okay?"

Unable to explain, Mr. Shen mentioned the disobedient princess, nodded politely to Lu Mingshan, and dragged Liu Ling away.The servants naturally followed suit, not daring to delay Lord Shen and the Princess's important affairs.

In the back, watching them leave back and forth like that, Liu Ling was dragged by Shen Yan, obviously in a posture that didn't take her seriously, Liu Ling just struggled at the beginning, when she couldn't break free, she simply gave up , let Shen Yan toss.This way of exposing the love between the two made Lu Mingshan's face turn pale.

He felt more and more clearly: Liu Ling was indeed moved by Shen Yan, but Shen Yan was not the kind of person who was easy to dismiss.

But if Liu Ling and Shen Yan get together, what will he do?What about the Lu family?How will the relationship between the Lu family and the Guangping Palace go?
Does Liu Ling always only care about herself and don't consider others?
She is not just Liu Ling, she is the princess of Changle, the future third daughter-in-law of the Lu family, and the daughter of the Guangping Palace!
How can she be so selfish? !

"Brother Ming, you...do you really want to marry the princess that much?" Yue Ling gritted his teeth when he saw his face change suddenly, and asked softly with the help of the pain to force out his reason.

Lu Mingshan sighed, "Sister Ling, you don't know that my position in the family has always been awkward. Only by marrying her can I have a bigger bargaining chip."

He also loved Yue Ling, but Yue Ling couldn't bring him those things.

Yue Ling whispered, "I understand."

--I understand.So I can no longer hesitate to do what the Holy Mother.I have to act according to Miss Xu's words, and I must not let you go together.

Brother Ming, you have to love me, love me wholeheartedly.You have to be like this, otherwise I don't know what terrible things I will do after being driven crazy by you.

At the same time, Liu Ling was taken to his site by Shen Yan. She shook her hand and raised her chin proudly, "It's rare to see Mr. Shen injured. I suddenly got inspiration and planned to paint on the spot as a souvenir for Mr. Shen."

"..."

There were a few large characters written in the eyes of the maid who was following up next to her: The princess is crazy.

On the other hand, Shen Yan was very calm, and ordered the doctor who came in to bring him cotton wool, change his clothes and apply medicine.

"Master Shen, you must watch me paint!" Liu Ling emphasized as she followed Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was defeated by her, "Draw, draw."

Such a perfunctory attitude!

Liu Ling was even more annoyed: he really didn't care at all.She hinted so clearly that he shouldn't let himself get hurt, yet he just pretended not to understand!What a nuisance!
If Mr. Shen knew her thoughts, he would definitely feel powerless: just do it... I didn't pretend to understand, I really didn't understand... Are you sure your hint is "clear"?

In short, Liu Ling wants to draw Shen Yan at this time.

She asked Shen Yan to watch the whole process, but as soon as she started to write, Shen Yan said, "The way you start writing is Huang Quan's painting technique?"

Liu Ling said nothing.

Shen Yan raised his hand and waved away the idlers in the room. He casually bandaged the wound, walked behind Liu Ling to watch her paint, and said after a long time, "The corners are round and accessible, and the clouds are moving. Well, this is heavy... ..."

"...!" Liu Ling was so angry that she dropped her pen and turned around, "Am I here to let you appreciate my paintings?"

Do you have a heart?

Can't understand that she is using the painting as a metaphor to humiliate him? !

Still enjoying it!

By the way, Mr. Shen is indeed versatile...

……stop!I can't think of it as being distracted by Shen Yan.He is versatile, capable of writing and martial arts, it has nothing to do with her!

Turning around, sticking to Shen Yan who was next to her, his breath was on top of her head, with a slight smile.He leaned over and hugged her, "Okay, I'm a wounded person, and the wounded person's temperament is unpredictable, you have to be considerate."

roll!
Liu Ling sneered, she withdrew from his embrace, and stood back with folded arms, getting further and further away.With Shen Yan's gloomy face, she asked leisurely, "The injured person? Who are you referring to?"

There are only two injured people in total!
What does she mean by that?
After successfully disgracing Shen Yan, Liu Ling's mood improved.Seeing Shen Yan walking towards her, she quickly ran away from the door, resolutely not letting herself fall into Shen Yan's hands.She had deliberately studied the place where she was standing just now, and she didn't believe that Shen Yan could immediately move through the space and come out to catch her.

Sure enough, Shen Yan did not come out.

Liu Ling's mood improved, and the corner of her mouth curled up: Fight her!Mr. Shen may not win every time.Isn't he blocked by her?
Ordinarily, Shen Yan and Lu Mingshan were injured one after another, and Lu Mingshan implicitly hinted that no assassins would dare to harass Jin Yiwei. In addition, there is only the last stretch of road left to Yejing, so they should spend it peacefully.But for the remaining few days, it was a wild ride, not easy at all.

The sky was a bit cloudy, and after resting at the nearest post station, Lu Mingshan took his own source of information, and when he looked through it, he saw a letter written by his father: Sanlang, you really did what you expected.Before Yue Ling appeared, he had contacted Xu Shijin, the fourth girl of Xu.I'm afraid that everything she has is the result of Xu Shijin's scheme.Did that Miss Xu tell the Xu family that she was talking to the Xu family, but she was against our Lu family?Saburo, are you sure you want to keep Yue Ling?

After Lu Mingshan closed the letter, he felt complicated and couldn't calm down for a long time.

He had speculated that Yue Ling's appearance was unusual, of course Yue Ling was his lover, but she had disappeared for so long after all.Over the years, he had long given up hope, thinking that Yue Ling had already died, otherwise why would he have evaporated without a trace?Of course, he also thought that it was his father who didn't want to find Yue Ling by himself... No matter what kind of speculation, Yue Ling would never have this message again, and he had tacitly agreed for many years.Then suddenly, time overlapped again, and Yue Ling appeared again.

She has become very different, but she can still see the shadow of the old days.

He couldn't bear to ask her how she had been these years, and he didn't want to know.He also couldn't bear to check her, and didn't want to know why she reappeared.

In his life, the person he was most sorry for was Yue Ling.That was the warmest place in his heart before his heart became hardened.

So he didn't care that she was married, or that she bore children for others.

He just wanted to protect her for the rest of her life, and let her and her husband spend the rest of their lives in peace and health.

He has changed beyond recognition, but she can still have her own husband, her own child, her own...

Lu Mingshan picked up his pen and slowly wrote back to his father: I will keep Yue Ling and see what Xu Shijin wants her to do.If not, I'll get rid of her.

He hoped that Yue Ling would not let him down, he would love her, take care of her family, and...

"Master Lu, it's not good! Miss Yue has a miscarriage!"

Snapped.

The pen in Lu Mingshan's hand dropped.

He thought again: She really did something serious.

But what is she up to?
Does this make any sense?

What kind of person is his old lover, the person he has been obsessed with for so many years?

It doesn't matter what kind of person Yue Ling is, facing the lost child, she is a poor mother who is so miserable that she has nowhere to complain.

She had a miscarriage and was still weak. The doctor said she couldn't get out of bed, but she insisted on carrying it and made a big fuss in front of the princess's house in Changle, insisting that everyone know about it.

The one who caused her to have a miscarriage was not the princess, but Lingbi, the princess' personal maid.

When Yue Ling went downstairs, he had a few disputes with Lingbi.Ling Bi hit Yue Ling's stomach with one hand, and Yue Ling screamed and rolled down the stairs, frightening Ling Xi who was following him until his hands and feet became cold, not to mention Ling Bi who was already frightened into a fool.

Yue Ling wants to seek justice for her innocent child with Liu Ling.

Lu Mingshan rushed there, and in the temporary hall, he saw a girl in white kneeling on the ground crying blood, and a trembling Lingbi beside her.He also saw Shen Yan and Liu Ling, Shen Yan and Jin Yiwei were sitting together, and Liu Ling was sitting in the upper seat, listening to Yue Ling's cry below——

"My child is gone! I just called the murderer to be buried with me, am I going too far?"

Liu Ling said softly, "Not too much."

"Then ask the princess to kill Lingbi!"

"impossible."

"Master, you..."

"The matter has not been decided, who knows if you fell down on purpose."

"...Deliberately fell down? Princess, you have never given birth to a child, you don't know the feeling of the contract between the mother and the child. The tiger's poison does not eat the child, how could the world harm the child to death?" Mother? Princess, you can't be partial to this point!"

The lightning flashed suddenly, and people's hearts were unpredictable. Liu Ling's face was pale, but what she said was so indifferent and unreasonable.

"This matter needs to be investigated again."

"...Princess, you..." Yue Ling spat out a mouthful of blood, Liu Ling's hand holding the back of the chair froze, and leaned forward, as if standing up.Until she saw the door curtain opened, the wind passed through, and Lu Mingshan came in, holding Yue Ling in his arms.

"Sister Ling, sister Ling! Don't worry, don't be sad...I will seek justice for you. Things won't be settled like this..." Lu Mingshan gently hugged Yue Ling, wiped away tears and blood for her, and said comforting words He said it over and over again, waiting for Yue Ling to calm down.

With a stiff expression, Liu Ling suppressed the anxiety and discomfort, and sat back steadily.Her soul seemed to have been withdrawn, watching Lu Mingshan embrace his lover, calming her emotions.

This reminded her of the year when she rescued Lu Mingshan.

He was dying, and she had nothing to love, so she just kept him as a pet.

Many people came to persuade her: This person's identity is sensitive, and the Lu family has not yet admitted it, so don't cause trouble for yourself.

But she really saved Lu Mingshan.

Obviously he said that his life is hers.

At this time, Lu Mingshan told the other woman that he wanted to seek justice from her.

How can there be any justice in the world?

If there is justice, she should have died long ago, and the people in Guangping Palace should have died as well.

If there was justice, the current Lu Mingshan should have suffered a thunderbolt instead of standing in front of her and fighting for Yue Ling and her.

"The murderer pays with his life, Ah Ling, are you determined to protect your maid?" Lu Mingshan stood up and asked her in a solemn voice.

Liu Ling said flatly, "Yes. Lingbi belongs to me. Did she push Yue Ling and say something else? Even if she pushed, and she was punished, I will punish you. Not you."

"...You are the princess, she is just a poor girl who has nowhere to seek grievances. If you want to be so domineering, she will have nothing to say but cry. But you must know," Lu Mingshan's eyes did not let go of Liu Ling's. "You have to know, Ah Ling, that is a living life, just like your mother."

Liu Ling's eyes shrank instantly, it was a subtle look, empty and dejected.Having known Liu Ling for many years, Lu Mingshan knows her weakness very well.

Shen Yan didn't know.

Shen Yan didn't know that although Liu Ling didn't move at all, her heart was crushed by Lu Mingshan's hands.

So, Lu Mingshan thought, he still won against Shen Yan.

Also afraid that Mr. Shen's sharp eyes would notice something unusual, Lu Mingshan lowered his eyes and stopped continuing this topic.He looked tired, and left the stage with his arms folded, "A Ling, I am very sorry for sister Ling when you do this. I have endured you for a long time, but I can no longer speak for you out of conscience. A Ling, between you and me, like you That being said, it’s time to end it.”
Liu Ling's voice was empty, "As I wish."

He looked at her deeply, "Tomorrow, we will go climbing the mountain and settle everything. From now on, marriage between men and women will be irrelevant."

"Okay." Liu Ling whispered, almost losing her strength to speak.

That is a living life...

she remembers.

But she couldn't let him punish Lingbi.

She was sorry for the child who had no chance to be born.

But the possibility of Lingbi being framed is too great.There are always too many people she is sorry for, so why bother to say more.

Lu Mingshan resigned, his eyes met Shen Yan's in the air for a moment, and then moved away calmly.On the way to find Yueling, he thought without emotion: Ah Ling can't live anymore.

Since he is of the same mind with Jin Yiwei, since Tiexin does not cooperate with the Lu family, since... Sister Ling gave him such a good excuse, why should he pretend that he doesn't know?

A Ling can no longer live.

It's not good for him, so he shouldn't be alive to thwart his plans.
