Chapter 93

Lu Mingshan's arrival, in terms of influence, is probably related to politics.But since Liu Ling was ready to intercede for her family in Yejing, no matter how bad the situation was, she couldn't think it would be too bad.Therefore, at dinner, even though Lu Mingshan and Yue Ling's appearances were very irritating, Liu Ling was in a happy mood again when he saw Shen Meiren sitting beside him.

King Guangping hated Shen Yan, so he could probably have the cheek to not allow Shen Yan to serve dinner.But he invited Lu Mingshan, a guest, to have dinner with him. If he was targeting Shen Yan, Liu Ling would definitely have something to say.

So King Guangping pinched his nose and endured it.

Since last year, he really didn't want to see Shen Yan.If you say that he is a prince, he doesn't want to see a courtier, there are many ways to deal with it.The sad thing is here, he is not an ordinary prince, nor is Shen Yan an ordinary courtier.On Yejing's side, King Guangping was trembling and always wanted to weaken his sense of presence.

So the whole night, King Guangping's enthusiasm was with Lu Mingshan.His wife and children all look at his face, talk to Mr. Lu gently, talk to Shen Yan and his wife... sorry they don't talk to Shen Yan and his wife.

Ordinary people, being treated like this, must feel uncomfortable.

Not to mention whether Shen Yan is in a good mood, first of all, he has no time to think.Because his little wife gave him too much face and showed his presence too much.Sitting next to him, one person is enthusiastic, like ten people.

I kept whispering to him, "Do you want to try that? It's delicious. I always wanted to learn it, but I didn't."

"That dish! Bring me a small dish, Mr. Shen likes it."

"Ah, this dish looks so pretty, like a heart, on a plate."

"Master Shen, if you don't eat meat, don't you eat fish or chicken?"

Shen Yan couldn't help laughing because of her torment, "Didn't you know it earlier?"

Liu Ling held her chin to look cute, "But some vegetarians also eat a little fish and chicken. There are also people who can't tell if the food is meat, but they will eat it. Why do you eat a little bit?" Don’t even stick? Have you tried it?”

Shen Yan affectionately touched her cute little face, but did not answer her.Liu Ling was simply looking for something to say, and insisted on breaking the indifference at the dinner table.Liu Ling has never been interested in his diet.The habits of the two of them towards each other, from the very beginning, respect each other.Liu Ling has never challenged his tolerance for meat and vegetables, and Shen Yan is glad that she is not the kind of person who insists on forcing her husband to eat meat and wonders why he doesn't eat meat.But what is she doing now?Meeting the Guangping Prince's family, Liu Ling became so childish.

Shen Yan whispered, "Don't talk about food."

Liu Ling glared at Shen Yan.

"...Ah!" Liu Runping, who was sitting next to her eldest brother-in-law, holding a bowl of white rice and eating carefully, yelled, attracting everyone's attention.

"What's the matter?" Liu Xiang put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hands, and said unhappily, "Don't make strange noises when eating, what did mother usually teach you?"

She pointed at Sang and scolded Huai.

Liu Ling chuckled, "It seems like you were all dumb just now." She turned her head to look at Liu Runping, "What's wrong with you? Eating a meal is not comfortable, if not, sit next to me."

"Someone kicked me just now." Liu Runping wrinkled his face and complained coquettishly to his elder sister.He didn't see his eldest sister's face stiffen for a moment, she endured embarrassment and glared at Shen Yan.

"..." Shen Yan raised his forehead.

How did he know that Liu Ling was dissatisfied with him, not only staring at him, but also kicking him under the table?He reacted too quickly, and he was embarrassed to mislead Liu Runping, who had a pair of short legs, by his elder sister.

"I kicked it." Being embarrassed by his wife and asking for help, Shen Yan could only sacrifice himself.Liu Ling froze for a moment, and wanted to speak, but he glanced at him, his eyes were cold, and Liu Ling fell silent.

The Queen of Quang Binh on the opposite side looked at this and then at that.The people who dined at the same table had abnormal expressions.It's enough to eat a meal like this, and it's disgusting to see each other.

She was picking at the food, but it was tasteless: Why is it such a good family, why is it like this?Before her sister died, she swore that she would treat A Ling well, take good care of A Ling, take good care of her brother-in-law, and make the family happy.She has worked hard for many years, and only found out last year that in Liu Ling's eyes, her flattery was nothing but a joke.It turns out that this family has been in turmoil from the very beginning, and it is impossible to get better.

After her sister died, she suppressed her anxiety and became the queen of Quang Binh.She only found out last year that her sister was killed by her, together with her brother-in-law.She really thought that A-Ling was the murderer, and she really thought that A-Ling wanted to kill them when she was young as crazy... Her brother-in-law, her husband, he had lied to her for many years.It turned out that she was the culprit!

Princess Guangping seems to be sitting in a leaky house. She sees the straw flying away, the tiles shattering, the rain pouring in, and the wind blowing in. She is in the bitter wind and rain, her faith has already been shaken, and she is just waiting to collapse. that day.

Her whole life is over.

The husband said that she was not wrong, it was chance.Feeling complicated again, he said, "The strange thing is Shen Yan."

That's right, Mr. Shen broke through the protective net of their family and broke the illusion.Only then did she know that Liu Ling had committed so many years of sins for their husband and wife!Everyone is hiding the truth and pushing the crime on that child.Only when Liu Ling is guilty can they be safe, and their superficial glory can be maintained.

But, but... Princess Guangping's heart was bleeding, she was tortured by regret day and night, and she was in pain.

She loves her brother-in-law and this family.But Ah Ling is her sister's only child!

She didn't dare to look into A-Ling's eyes, or speak to A-Ling.Every time he said a word, he felt guilty and ruthlessly grabbed a piece of her body, dripping with blood, making her die.

She was even more afraid to face her sister.

But Liu Ling came back this time just to go up the mountain to pay homage to her mother, just like every year in the past.

For Princess Quang Binh, this is even more torture.She was the one who advocated building that pavilion for her sister back then!Now...how did she get up the mountain?

Princess Guangping was extremely exhausted, and she couldn't help having absurd thoughts: It would be fine if Ah Ling died.It would be fine if Ah Ling was gone.

When Liu Ling died, their sins would be buried, no one would know about it, and someone reminded her every day.Reminders, lest they forget.This kind of torture day and night, year after year, Princess Guangping felt that she would go crazy.

It would be great if Ah Ling disappeared!
Only this vicious thought came into my mind, and it was crushed away by Princess Quang Binh in horror.She suffered even more: she was so scared and so bad that she wanted A Ling to disappear.It was my sister's only child...

Princess Guangping was silent and in a very bad mood.Her husband and children who were seated with her naturally noticed her change of mood, and they were even more annoying to Liu Ling.Lu Mingshan watched from the sidelines, only smiling to serve Yue Ling with food. As a guest, he was also very embarrassed to see other people's housework.

Yue Ling looked at Liu Ling's family affairs with great interest. The indescribable inferiority complex she felt when facing the princess was a little weaker at this moment: it turned out that the people in her own family were as noble as Liu Ling. Doesn't even seem to like her much.As noble as Liu Ling, she was directly slapped in the face by her father, and she, Yue Ling, was disgusted by others, and it seemed that she didn't feel so uncomfortable.

Lu Mingshan brought her food, and she smiled back with gratitude.In fact, her smile had long since turned pale and cold: the deadline for poisoning Brother Ming had already arrived.But she hesitated, and still didn't take the last dose.

Brother Ming really likes her, he insisted on taking her away from Beijing despite the Lu family's objection.

He really likes her, he wavers back and forth, suspicion comes and goes, but he never gives up on her.

Everyone said that she was the white moonlight in Brother Ming's heart.The moonlight had shone on him for so many years, and he couldn't bear to throw it away.

But Yue Ling hated him again.

Love and hate.Love cannot dispel her hatred for Lu Mingshan.Seeing Liu Ling in Lu Mingshan, after Yue Ling saw that slightly dazed expression, she hated her even more.All good things, such as love and kindness, are not as powerful as those dark things, such as resentment and revenge.People are always easy to forget the good things, but they can't forget the things that make them painful, and they curse every day.

That's how Yue Ling treated Lu Mingshan.

She loves him.

But she also wanted to kill him.

She can't bear the two days of warm time now, but when his attitude towards her changes slightly, she will do it.He can't be single-minded to her, so he will die with her.Always when he died, he had to be with himself.

Whoever made him owe her too much, there is no way to repay it.

An unpleasant dinner did not affect Liu Ling's good mood too much.Anyway, she has been like this in Guangping Palace for so many years.Thinking that such a home will be gone soon, I can barely understand it.After leaving with Shen Yan, Liu Ling wanted to take Shen Yan for a walk to digest food.After digesting, the two of them sat on the roof, watching the sky full of stars, and talking freely.

Liu Ling was rarely in the mood to tell Shen Yan about her mother.She had also told Shen Yan before, but her mood was low, and her tone was unlovable.Now, she was talking about her childhood, about her mother, about herself, and because of Shen Yan's side, she became less resistant.

With her head leaning on Shen Yan who was sitting upright, Liu Ling looked at the vast lake in her courtyard from high in the sky. In the dark night, there were scales and waves, flickering, and the moisture of the water and the freshness of the wind rushed towards them together.

Liu Ling told Shen Yan some naughty things about her when she was a child, all happened before she was five years old.Liu Ling's nature is prickly, lofty, and she would rather bend than bend, and she showed it when she was a child.The long river of time came and went suddenly, and many Liu Ling deliberately forgot, but recently, slowly, she recalled a lot.

Shen Yan also told her something about his childhood.Don't look at him now, when he was a child, he was also mischievous, he was bullied by his elder brother, and he was called by the elders to set a wrong example for all the children in the yard.When Shen Yan was a child, he didn't have the glory of growing up. At that time, he was a little transparent in the Shen family, and he wasn't even the most outstanding in appearance. At least his family never praised him.

Liu Ling stared at Shen Yan's side face with widened black eyes, "How is it possible?! You look so good-looking! How high is your family's appreciation level, so they don't think you are good-looking."

She never believed that Shen Yan had no knowledge of her appearance at all.Wherever he went, there were a bunch of girls blushing for him.Just like Liu Ling since she was a child, she has been stared at by everyone with just one face.If it wasn't for her bad temper and illness, her family made excuses to shirk her, and she got engaged early, she must have been a splendid figure in both Yejing and Jiangzhou.

Shen Yan said, "I was still young at that time, and I didn't grow any flowers at all. In my family, I was really outstanding in every aspect. Especially my big brother, Shen Yu, you may not know, Shen Yu is a very talented person. In the Shen family, for three generations, he is the one with the best talent. He has always been under the admiration and admiration of the elders. I really have no sense of existence under the shadow of such a shining cousin."

"Poor child." Liu Ling looked at him lovingly and patted his shoulder.The Shen family is an aristocratic family, and it has been passed down to this day. To be honest, it is farther than their Liu family.There are many outstanding children in such a family.It turned out that when Shen Yan was a child, he was not valued at all by his family.

Liu Ling asked interestedly, "Did you have low self-esteem at that time? No one has ever praised you..."

Shen Yan thought about it, what a long memory.He said, "Inferiority can't be said, but the mind is definitely immature. At that time, I thought, others look down on me, I can't look down on myself, I have to cheer myself up. Otherwise, there are so many cousins ​​and cousins ​​who are older than me. , but my uncle's generation is about the same age as me, if I don't give myself some hope, I will be so shocked that I can't see."

"Your parents don't praise you either?" Liu Ling felt that Shen Yan's parents treated him very well.

"I entered ethnology at the age of five, and my temper...is just like it is now, which is not flattering. In addition, the blood relationship cannot be eliminated, and my father was busy at that time, so he didn't care about me. My mother is just like my father. "

Think about Shen Yan's temper, uh.With such a sullen and arrogant temper as an adult, he can still communicate normally with others.But a child, when others look for him, he always looks like "stupid human beings don't talk to me", who cares.

Liu Ling liked listening to Shen Yan's childhood stories so much, "Then what happened later? How did you change later?"

"Is it just relying on face?" Shen Yan smiled, "When I was about nine years old, a cousin from afar came to my house, saw me, and praised me, which surprised the elders in the family. Then they re-examined me and found in surprise: When did this inconspicuous little kid unexpectedly grow beautiful? Although I don’t want to admit it, when interacting with people, the first thing I look at is the face. Our family is also like this. In addition, Shen Yu had already shown Out of the bastard temperament, the elders in the family were planning to give up on him, so I was singled out."

"And later?"

"Later, as I grow up a little bit, there will be more people who praise me for my good looks." Qin Ning also made a kiss with him during that time. , Seeing a good-looking one, being teased by the elders, he willfully wants to get engaged.The Shen family was eager to marry the eldest princess's mansion, but within a few years, as soon as Qin Ning grew up and understood personnel affairs, she ran away with other men.At that time, Shen Yan was really embarrassed.Shen Yan sighed in his heart, but facing Liu Ling, of course he would not talk about such a confidante.

Liu Ling continued to wait anxiously for the follow-up.

Shen Yan said he was tired.He touched his chin and joked, "Suddenly one day, everyone around me praised me. At that time, I realized that I seemed to have reached the point where I could do whatever I wanted?"

He stopped, didn't say much, his tone was just joking, of course it couldn't be what he really thought in his heart.

But even so, Liu Ling was satisfied.

She sighed, "I wish I knew you when I was a kid. We wouldn't have missed so many years."

Shen Yan said, "No, we just got to know each other well."

"Ok?"

"Remember what I said, before you knew me, I actually knew you." Maybe it was because the atmosphere was so good, maybe it was because they talked a lot about their childhood, some things, Shen Yan also had the mood to let Liu Ling know, "No The matter related to Shen Yu and Ms. Xu. Before that, I knew you."

"Ah?!" Liu Ling sat up in shock, "You, you never told me, I don't know."

Shen Yan nodded, "I once fell in love with you... at first sight, right?"

Liu Ling stared blankly at him, trying hard to remember.Still don't have this fragment in memory.Shen Yan's looks are so good that she can't fix her eyes.If she had seen it earlier, how could she have no impression?

"That's because I didn't face you with my true face," Shen Yan reassured her, "It was during the mission. I changed my face, and during the mission, I met you several times. You also saved me. At that time, I turned into a Beggar, I was staying alone, but who knew that you were meddling in your own business, and you actually wanted to save me. In order to prevent things from being revealed, I had to be rescued by you. What a great opportunity that was, I was actually going to be rescued by you..."

"You fell in love with me at first sight, and you were moved by my kindness?" Liu Ling didn't remember this incident, but it didn't prevent her from thinking about it, thinking of Shen Yan as the reason for her heart.

"No," Shen Yan suppressed a smile, hugged her into her arms, and habitually touched her small face, "I thought at the time, why are there people with so many troubles? What does it matter to you where a beggar sleeps? You still have to worry about it." , there are so many things."

Liu Ling clenched her fist and hit him on the chest.

"I finally dumped you and reunited with my subordinates. After missing an opportunity, I changed my face again, and finally I ran into you again." Thinking about it now, Shen Yan finds it funny.

"...You are always moved by my kindness this time, right?"

"No," Shen Yan said, "When I saw you, I had a bad feeling, thinking that my mission would not be completed again. Sure enough, seeing that I was seriously injured, you saved me again. I was angry at the time, I am very annoyed with you: How can there be such a naive and stupid person, such a lingering person! Surviving in the wild, being alone, shouldn’t be the principle of human beings? Why do you have to meddle in your own business?”

Liu Ling raised her head and bit his neck.She is not meddlesome, she saves people according to her mood.But when I feel particularly depressed, I will find something to divert my attention.It can only be said that Shen Yan met her worst mood.

"After that, I changed my face again, and my subordinates hid from the rain in the temple to discuss the next move. I met you again." Shen Yan said expressionlessly.

"Ah! I remember this!" Liu Ling finally had an impression.There are not many people who hide from the rain under the same roof as her, but a group of men hide from the rain, she can't forget it even if she wants to.Especially those men and businessmen dressed up, said to do business, and then walked with her for a while.

She thought back, but still couldn't recall, which one of the people inside was Shen Yan?
"This time, you completely fell in love with me?" Liu Ling was complacent.She remembered very well that the merchants were with her.If he didn't like her, why did Shen Yan choose to go with her?

"No," Shen Yan said softly, "I thought there was something wrong with you at the time, why did you meet me again and again. I doubted your motives, doubted your identity, and wanted to see what you were going to do."

"..." So this is the real purpose of walking with her?
"You really don't like me." Liu Ling said sadly, "You don't like me at all."

Shen Yan smiled slightly, "I didn't like you when I met you three times. But the fourth and fifth times... I was really moved."

Liu Ling looked at him: there will be a fourth or fifth time after that? !
She waited for Shen Yan to explain clearly, but Shen Yan didn't say anything about the moment when she was really emotional, no matter how threatened she was.

He just said, "That was the first time I had doubts about fate. We have never lived before, and I have no idea about you at all, and I think you are too. Why do I have to meet you again and again? Could it be that God hinted at something?"

"He hinted that you are after me!" Liu Ling grabbed his arm, wishing to travel back and analyze his first heartbeat for the young Shen Yan.

Shen Yan nodded, "I think so too. After I finished the task, I didn't go back to Beijing, but went directly to Jiangzhou. I want to see you and see what I can do."

Liu Ling's heart sank, and she didn't remember at all that when she was young, she was ever pursued by someone, or someone came to ask for a marriage.That is to say, Shen Yan did nothing in the end.

"I ran into you and Mr. Lu on the street." Shen Yan said calmly.

"...Ah." What else did Liu Ling not understand?

She took the initiative to hug Shen Yan.

Shen Yan thanked her for her comfort, but she didn't need it.He was thinking, talking slowly, "Look, I have known you for a long time, and I have liked you for a long time. But there is no fate. No matter how early we meet, if we don't meet at the most suitable time, we will Not to mention feelings. Like, time, and that person, there can be countless combinations. But there is only one combination that can achieve the best result. This is what we are now."

"It's useless to meet again early. It's useless to like it early. Those are all useless. Only when you were 15 years old and met me for the first time in Jiangzhou, our fate really started."

"...You actually started to believe in fate." This is Liu Ling's conclusion.

"..." Shen Yan immediately didn't want to talk to her.

Liu Ling chuckled, kissed him like a child, his face was covered with saliva, and was pushed away by Shen Yan's disgust.She liked him so much, and liked talking to him so much.

But Shen Yan ignored her.

Liu Ling thought for a while, leaned close to his ear, and said in a low voice, "You tell me your secret, then I'll tell you one too, mine is fine."

"Say."

"...Well, don't be angry when you hear that." Liuling put her arms around his neck, paying attention to Shen Yan's face, "Actually, I first came to you because, from a certain angle of your profile, you resembled Lu Mingshan .I have some meaning of revenge in it... He abandoned me, so I will find someone else, someone like him. Although I don't want to admit it, others will never admit it... But the truth is like this."

Shen Yan's expression was calm, no sadness or joy could be seen.

Liu Ling kissed the corner of his lips, admiring and admiring, "But you are better than him. You don't look alike, it's just that you look alike from your angle."

Liu Ling was anxious, waiting for Shen Yan's verdict.According to her mind, she would never say this to Shen Yan.Some things, since it is a misunderstanding, let it continue to be good in the past.No matter how good the relationship between husband and wife is, there are certain topics that Liu Ling believes cannot be discussed.

But she has recently discovered more and more that she seems to be able to talk with Shen Yan about more topics that she didn't talk about before, and it won't affect their relationship?
They are willing to tell each other that the other party has more interests but less blame.

Maybe this is the couple.The heart is getting closer, and the taboos are getting less and less.Maybe one day, Shen Yan will talk to her about his oolong marriage with Qin Ning, and she will also explain her grievances with Lu Mingshan to him, maybe.

Only now, Liu Ling knows what she said, and Shen Yan will not break up with her.But Liu Ling couldn't say how emotional he was.

Shen Yan's expression was too plain.

He looked at her and finally said, "I knew it a long time ago."

"..." Liu Ling was stunned for a long time, a thread fluctuated in her heart, blood welled up, and tears almost welled up in her eyes.

Holding his face, she asked him gently, "Then why didn't you separate from me?" She and Shen Yan had at least two emotional conflicts.

The first time, he said they needed to separate and cool down for two days.

The second time, she said that they would never meet again and that she was going to marry another man.

But both times, it was not due to some degree of similarity with Lu Mingshan.

But how?

Shen Yan is so proud, he will never be a substitute for others.After he found out, he should have broken up with her immediately.It was a shame and he couldn't stand it.After all, when she and Shen Yan first got along, he was so embarrassed that he didn't want to care about her and Lu Mingshan's affairs at all.During the walk with Lu Mingshan, Shen Yan must have been very uncomfortable in avoiding her.

Liu Ling said, "Why? A person like you would not be willing to be used like a parasite by me."

Shen Yan said calmly, "I thought at the time that I would make you really like me."

why?

Shen Yan thought.

I feel a little sad.

Besides liking, why else?
Emotional things are so unpredictable.The joy of reading, the sadness of reading.Let him be moved to this point, and wish he never knew each other.

He endured all the sadness and shame, endured the ridicule and provocation, loved her, and hugged her.If she can't really like him, he will be so ridiculous.

Shen Yan has never been noncommittal about his cousin Shen Yu.

He couldn't understand why Shen Yu made himself that way because of a woman.He didn't think it was worth it.

But when he likes someone himself, he understands what it feels like.Reluctant to give up, every thread, entanglement, all in my heart.She smiled at him, and he was able to bear the shackles on fire.I just hope she likes him, really likes him, like him.

He had liked her long ago, but she didn't know it.Why was his heart fluttering again, but she was still staring in a daze?
She didn't disappear from his memory as he imagined.Years later, she stood in front of him again, and he looked and looked again, and he remembered her more and more clearly, remembering all her beauty, mixed with his vague affection and expectation for her.Those thoughts are sour and bitter, but they come to my eyes one after another.And he was no longer the one who would just run away in embarrassment when he watched her chatting and joking with his beloved on the street blankly when he was a teenager.

Now that we are gone, now that we have appeared.Their fate, of course, will start again.

Fortunately, Liu Ling really liked him, especially him.Getting along with Ri, he knows what she likes.

Now, Liu Ling hugged him, unwilling to let go.She was moved and speechless.Extremely happy, only feel desolate.

She collected herself, "The one just now doesn't count, let me tell you another secret."

Shen Yan suppressed a smile, "Liu Ling, I have to wonder, how many things are you hiding from me? Why are you keeping secrets one after another?"

Liu Ling didn't smile, she turned her head and looked at the night sky.She said slowly, "Master Shen, you can probably guess that I fantasized about my mother, right?"

Shen Yan paused and nodded.Liu Ling had told him ambiguously, but he hadn't asked in detail.

Liu Ling smiled, "After my mother passed away at the age of five, it was nothing at first, but later, I began to see my mother. I thought my mother came back, and I was very happy, thinking that nothing had changed. I talked to my mother , Acting like a baby with my mother... You know, everyone is terrified. The family invited a spiritual master and did a lot of rituals. The master promised that my house could not be cleaner, but I regret that I can still see my mother. I can hear her talking to me and see her smiling at me. She is with me all the time. She is fine! She is alive! Why is she dead again? Even if she is dead, she has been following me, it should be me Mother’s soul, right?”

Shen Yan hugged her arm and tightened suddenly.

He loves her dearly, and he knows that Liu Ling has been sick since then.

Liu Ling buried her head in Shen Yan's arms, "From the age of five to 15, I can see my mother at any time. Later, after various comforts and treatments, I realized that I was probably hallucinating. No Mother, there is no ghost, it was all imagined by me. I can understand it. One day, I found that there was an extra person among the maids serving me. Weeping in fright, I went to find my grandfather and the others. Only then did I know that that didn’t exist either. I actually fantasized about another person who didn’t exist.”

"My condition became serious, and everyone became very scared and at a loss. Even my father couldn't bear the crime of forcing me to death. My grandfather endured the grief and let me understand: my mother is dead. There is no ghost following me. Because there is no mother who will always tempt her daughter to die with her. I have tried to die many times because there is such a person who keeps persuading me in my ear."

"I am actively treating. I have never seen the extra maid again. But my mother follows me everywhere. She follows me wherever I go. Even if I don't speak, she will take the initiative to talk to me."

This disease, in later generations, has a scientific name called schizophrenia.Liu Ling imagined a non-existent person, talked to her, and played games with her.And it caused her to be paranoid, pessimistic, depressed, and often had the urge to commit suicide.This kind of disease will also cause people to be in a hurry in later generations, and it is difficult to completely cure it.It seems to be getting better, but maybe one day, the condition will start to come back again.

As for Liu Ling, she couldn't see any hope of recovery.

Her illness, everyone thought, was incurable.

"Then what do you do?" Shen Yan asked her.

Liu Ling said, "I can only pretend that I can't see her, pretend that I can't hear her. I think if I keep pretending that I can't see and hear her, will she stop pestering me?" She smiled lowly and shook her head, "It's useless."

Shen Yan hugged her arm even tighter.

She was picked up and looked at Shen Yan's eyes.

He asked in a low voice, as if afraid of scaring her, "Now, when you talk to me, can you still see your mother?"

Liu Ling looked at him and didn't speak.

Shen Yan's eyes were clear, dark, and deep.Black layer after layer, layer upon layer of ink dyeing.He stared at her intently and gently, he looked at her so tenderly that she lost all language.

Shen Yan held her hand, his hand was colder than hers.He hugged her tightly and said, "It's okay, we will treat the illness together. Even if this continues, I will accompany you. Don't be afraid, Liu Ling."

Liu Ling laughed suddenly, with a bright smile.

She has very few expressions, and when she smiles, she only looks at him.She smiles shallowly, smiles deeply, she is equally beautiful.But never has Liu Ling's smile been so bright and open.

She threw herself into his arms, "No! I haven't seen my mother since the days of Chinese New Year! She never appeared again! Shen Yan, I got rid of her! She didn't follow me, pester me Me, force me to die!"

Almost cried.

Seeing Shen Yan pause for a while, Liu Ling smiled.

The corners of the lips rose slightly, and the center of the brows twitched slightly.It wasn't such a bright smile, but those subtle changes fully exposed his mood.He looked at her, his eyes jumped, like thousands of lights, one by one, gradually lighting up for her.

Liu Ling's heart was beating violently, and when she saw him smiling, she leaned forward and kissed the corner of his mouth.

He took her hand and said, "That's great."

So, what a good thing this is.

All things are looking up.

Liu Ling's condition was under control, and he no longer had to worry that she would seek death.Every time she was alone and her expression was empty, Shen Yan was very anxious.He endured his anxiety, pretended he didn't know anything, told her jokes, took her to play, and tried his best to make her think about the beauty of the world.

If she likes him, then like her even more.

Don't always think about death.

Shen Yan knew that Liu Ling regarded him as salvation.

It takes a strong heart to be the salvation of others.Most people in the world can't do it at all.This kind of pressure is too great, and it is too dangerous to save a person. How many people are afraid, they will not be able to control themselves.

But Shen Yan walked on.

What a strong heart, when fate pushed him to the bench, took off his clothes and roasted him roughly, he could still walk on calmly.

Therefore, Liu Ling is special, special, special... loves Shen Yan.

He is unique.

The relationship between Liu Ling and Shen Yan is as good as ever.On the other side of Yejing, after Xu Shijin drew a line, a large net was gradually formed to trap the prince.All aspects are gradually changing, and in Xu Shijin's expectation, they are moving towards the result she predicted.Liu Wang, the crown prince of Yejing, felt a little strange recently that everything went very smoothly, so strangely.But the war in the ancient country of Yi restrained his nerves, so he didn't have the energy to think too much.And it's a good thing to do things smoothly, so there's no need to be too concerned.

On the Jiangnan side, Jin Yiwei found out that there seemed to be traces of ancient Yi people in Linzhou, and came to ask Shen Yan for instructions.Shen Yan nodded with a stern expression, paying attention to a group of Jinyiwei entering Linzhou to investigate the situation.

In silence, the situation in Jiangzhou was also changing.

In the study of the Guangping Prince's Mansion, the King of Guangping was having an interview with Lu Mingshan.Lu Mingshan showed the prince's letter to King Guangping, but he didn't know that the letter was written by Xu Shijin, and Miss Xu was far more familiar with the prince's style than he was.Lu Mingshan was talking to King Guangping, "His Royal Highness heard that the prince has developed a new weapon. I hope that the prince can bring it back to Beijing and let him have a look. In this way, our chances of winning in the battle with the ancient kingdom of Yi will be even greater."

King Guangping's heart shuddered, and he looked at Lu Mingshan in surprise.He was horrified in his heart, but didn't show it on his face, and said with a smile, "How does Your Highness know that I have developed a new weapon?"

Lu Mingshan was not clear either.When he got the letter, he was still surprised.But seeing King Guangping's vigilance, he laughed, "My lord, the Lu family and the palace are now grasshoppers on the same line. How could your highness harm us? His highness naturally has more information than us. If your highness wants to cooperate with your highness, at least You also have to show some sincerity. Could it be that His Highness pointed out that the prince has a new weapon, and the prince wants me to write back and ask, where did the weapon come from? Let His Highness tell you something?"

King Guangping sighed.When he first cooperated with the Lu family, he never imagined that the Lu family would come to this point.If he liked to walk with His Highness the Crown Prince at the beginning, why did he marry the Lu family?He is ambitious and wants to rely on the Lu family to realize his goals.Who would have thought that the prince of the Lu family would die before he grew up, and he would be killed by the Lu family himself.It can only be said that the world is tricking people, who would have expected that the head of the Yejing family back then, the Lu family would be defeated like this?
Now I have to join hands with the prince, there is no other way.Can King Guangping offend both His Majesty and His Highness?
He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Nephew, it's not that I'm supercilious. It's that in the past year, I always feel that the Guangping Palace is being watched."

"...!" Lu Mingshan's heart skipped a beat.The first thought that came to him was "Jinyiwei"!
Looking at King Guangping, the two sides had a tacit understanding, obviously thinking of the same thing.

Lu Mingshan's voice trembled a little, "Why does the prince think so?"

It's not a good thing to be watched by Jin Yiwei.Jin Yiwei has always been authorized by His Majesty, if King Guangping is being targeted, doesn't that mean that the Lu family is also being targeted?Is His Majesty suspicious of them, or is it just Jin Yiwei who suspects them?
Lu Mingshan thought again, Shen Yan is now in the Guangping Palace!

He felt even more disturbed.

Once I had this idea, I felt that everything was wrong.He even felt that how could a person like Shen Yan, who is so heartless and loveless, accompany Liu Ling back home?Especially since Lu Mingshan is here too!Would Shen Yan take this opportunity to catch them all? !
King Guangping frowned, and his voice was very low, "I'm just skeptical. After all, it's very difficult to find out about our family's affairs unless we deliberately investigate. But Shen Yan knows...he probably likes Ah Ling too much and is eager to get Ah Ling back. Ling, just revealed the flaw to me. About our family, even His Majesty does not ask about it, but Shen Yan...is definitely not a matter of a day or two! Later he left Jiangzhou and returned to Yejing. I didn’t find it, but I always felt something was wrong.”

He said, "I am a person who believes in my own feelings. Recently, I dare not act, lest I be noticed by Shen Yan. So the contact with His Highness...Let's put it later."

This is natural.

Lu Mingshan nodded.

He frowned, and the more he thought about it, the more uneasy he became, "But Shen Yan is now in Jiangzhou..."

His eyes met Guangping Wang's black bottomless eyes.

King Guangping said, "Regardless of whether it is true or not, there is a way to alleviate the current situation."

Lu Mingshan looked into King Guangping's eyes, smiled lightly, and nodded in agreement, "Kill Shen Yan."

"Yes, kill Shen Yan."

As long as Shen Yan dies, no matter it is Jin Yiwei's plan or His Majesty's suspicions, everything will have to be postponed.They will be able to buy time, whether it is calling for help or transferring...they have time.

Outside the door, there was a soft knock suddenly.

The two were heartbroken.

Lu Mingshan moved quickly, using light work, pushed open the closed window and jumped out.He pulled out the sword from his waist directly, with a cold light.Whoever eavesdropped on his conversation with King Quang Binh deserved to die.

As soon as he jumped out of the window, Lu Mingshan did not expect that his cold sword met Liu Ling's neck.Not only was Liu Ling alone, Liu Runping was also hugged in Liu Ling's arms, who was frightened out of his wits.

Lu Mingshan's eyes met Liuling's cold eyes.

He was startled for a moment, and the hand holding the sword trembled, "Why are you?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Without looking at him, Liu Ling stretched out her hand to push away the sword pointed at her neck, looked down at the pale Liu Runping, and said, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Go pick up the ball."

"Oh, oh!" Liu Runping raised his eyes and saw his father standing at the door of the study with a complicated expression.

King Guangping heard what had happened from the servants guarding him. Liu Ling just came here because Liu Runping was naughty and played ball here.For Liu Ling, there is no forbidden place in the Guangping Palace. She can go wherever she wants, and even if her father is discussing business, she doesn't care if she disturbs her.

King Quang Binh stood at the door, looking at his daughter and his youngest son.He asked in a deep voice, "What did you hear?"

Liu Ling really didn't hear it, she just came over.

But seeing her father and Lu Mingshan's tense appearance, she squinted and smiled, "Why, are you guys going to do something bad, are you afraid that I will find out?"

"...Aling, come in, father has something to tell you." In the end, King Guangping said this.

Liu Ling refused, "I don't have time to listen, and I don't want to. No matter what you do, it has nothing to do with me. I'm not interested." She took a step forward and reminded her, "But the Guangping Palace has hundreds of people, it's all up to you. In one thought, I hope you will be careful."

As soon as she said it, she didn't see that the faces of King Guangping and Lu Mingshan behind them were even more ugly.

Liu Ling was absent-minded, she only noticed that Liu Runping, who was holding her arm, was very silent.She wondered, this poor kid was still in high spirits just now, what happened now?
Liu Runping turned his head, and under the cover of his sister, he glanced at his father standing in the study.He quickly lowered his head, his little face was pale, and he was bewildered.

For the first time when he was young, he felt a sense of despair: If only he could choose his own origin, it would be great.

At this time, Xu Shijin and Shen Yu were traveling leisurely to Yejing in a carriage.Along the way, there were false guides to help, and they did not arouse much suspicion.

On the carriage, Shen Yu told Xu Shijin the latest news, "What the court said was that years ago, Shen Yan left the capital in the name of escorting grain and grass." Looking at Xu Shijin, "The situation in Shen's residence is a bit strange... ...I suspect that the letter the princess sent me in those days was also a bit strange, I guess, the princess also sneaked out of Beijing and went with Shen Yan."

"The two of them are really inseparable from Meng." Xu Shijin pursed his lips and smiled. Halfway through the smile, his expression froze and he frowned, "No, what you said is wrong...it shouldn't be like this. How could Mr. Shen escort him?" Food and grass out of Beijing? His cooperation with His Highness the Crown Prince cannot reach this level. I trust Ah Ling. If something happened to me, Ah Ling is not a person who is indifferent. Lord Shen likes Ah Ling, but Ah Ling dislikes His Highness. Cooperation is naturally at risk. I even think that it is possible for him to temporarily repent and break with the prince... Yes, he should be using the prince. From the very beginning, he informed His Majesty of his cooperation with the prince. He It should be following His Majesty's arrangement... Then, he shouldn't be going out of Beijing to deliver food. Then why would he hide it?"

"Lu Ming'an also replied to my letter. How could he reply to my letter? In his heart, I should be a dead person. The Lu family should focus on getting rid of me... Unless there is really a change in the Lu family... His His status has been threatened. Only when he was squeezed out could he suppress his panic and be willing to cooperate with me...Why did this happen...It means that Lu Mingshan really went to Jiangzhou..."

Shen Yu looked at Xu Shijin quietly, watching her muttering to herself.The chaotic lines gradually converged in Xu Shijin's mind, becoming clearer and clearer.In order, the data comes out, the real situation is ready to come out...

Xu Shijin's face suddenly changed slightly, "There may be changes in Jiangzhou!"

"What?" Shen Yu asked.

Xu Shijin suddenly sat up because of excitement.But when she sat up, she felt dizzy and the whole world was spinning.

Oops……

Seeing Shen Yu's frightened face, Xu Shijin's heart sank.

What a pity, what a pity...

She passed out in Shen Yu's arms.
