Chapter 86 Leaving
Thirteen asked Wang Ge: "What should we do?"
"What else can we do? We are the secret guards protecting the prince's safety. Just follow him."
Several people followed Xiao Linyuan to the clinic.
The night was as dark as ink, and Xiao Linyuan landed silently on the sycamore tree in the yard.
All the guards who were guarding the clinic during the day had withdrawn, leaving only Jian Shuang and four secret guards hiding in the dark.
When Xiao Linyuan saw the four people clearly, his suspicions grew stronger.
That woman must be here, otherwise why would there be a secret guard here?
And he actually arranged four secret guards for her!
He landed nimbly in front of Song Zijin's door.
The door was bolted from the inside and I tried to budge it but it didn't budge.
Wang Ge hurried forward and handed over the dagger in his hand.
Xiao Linyuan turned his head and squinted at him. There was too much meaning in that glare, and Wang Ge couldn't help but shrink his neck.
The carved window lattice was ajar, and moonlight poured in like water.
Xiao Linyuan didn't take the dagger, but climbed in through the window lightly. When he landed, he didn't even raise a speck of dust. He was truly as light as a swallow.
Zeng's house was simply furnished. On the desk lay an unfinished embroidery frame, and in the thread basket were neatly arranged various colored silk threads.
He subconsciously touched the "defective product" hanging around his waist.
It is exactly the same as these semi-finished products on the table.
My heartbeat couldn't stop accelerating, and the answer seemed to be about to come out.
He walked lightly towards the bed.
The bed curtains were hanging lightly, and a slender figure could be vaguely seen lying on its side.
Xiao Linyuan held his breath and gently lifted the gauze curtain.
The woman's face was peaceful as she slept, her long black hair spread out beside the pillow, a few strands of hair rising and falling gently with her breathing.
She was covered with a thin quilt, revealing a section of her fair wrist. In her hand was a white jade hairpin, which shone with a warm luster in the moonlight.
Why do you hold the hairpin while sleeping?
Self-defense?
The familiar fragrance in my nose became stronger and stronger.
It turned out that the fragrance was not incense, but the woman's body odor.
Xiao Linyuan involuntarily moved closer and sat down on the small stool beside the bed.
The moonlight outlined the woman's delicate silhouette, and he suddenly felt that this scene seemed familiar.
It seemed like a long time ago that he had stood by her bed like this, watching her sleep peacefully.
Her eyelashes are very long, casting a small shadow under her eyes. How can I describe it?
Cute? Cute?
Strange, why did such words pop up in his mind?
Suddenly, the sleeping person frowned slightly, as if he had dreamed of something unpleasant.
He stretched out his hand to soothe the sadness, but suddenly withdrew his hand when he was about to touch it.
My heartbeat suddenly quickened and I felt a sharp pain in my temples.
Fragmentary images flashed through my mind——
On the bluestone road, she was wearing a light yellow skirt, holding silver and smiling softly under the blossoming trees;
On the night she returned from the moonlit night, she sat under the sycamore tree and petted the white cat named Xuetuanzi.
And inside the tent, she took off her clothes and "dominated" over him...
These images are too real, yet seem to be separated by a thin veil and cannot be grasped.
He looked down at his hands, as if he could still feel the touch of her hair, but his memory of her was blank.
He couldn't help but move closer, and just as his fingers were about to touch her face, the person on the bed suddenly moved.
Then she uttered a soft murmur: "Brother Lingzhi..."
Xiao Linyuan's whole body trembled.
This name was like a key, instantly opening a dusty corner in his heart.
But when he listened carefully, she fell asleep again, as if the call was just an illusion.
Xiao Linyuan held down his throbbing temples, cold sweat already seeping out of his forehead.
For fear of waking her up, he had to jump out the window and leave in a panic.
He left in such a hurry that he didn't notice the two bundles that had already been put away on the cabinet.
——
Fu Yue was leaving the capital today and didn't sleep well the whole night.
He got up and went to the kitchen to cook porridge and brought it to Song Zijin's room.
"Girl, you're not fully recovered yet. Let's wait a little longer."
"No need. Xuesha is back in Beijing today, and Zipei is too busy to come. We have just enough time to leave."
Fu Yue was dejected.
The girl hasn't even met the prince in person yet, how can she be willing to leave?
"Send the prepared silver to Qian Bo. The clinic is temporarily closed, and he needs to keep the silver for himself. It will be fine when mother comes back." Song Zijin said lightly.
"Oh, okay." Fu Yue picked up the purse and went to look for Qian Bo.
Their destination was Chanzhou, a place rich in tea and with beautiful scenery.
Song Zijin had never picked tea before and wanted to experience it before continuing south.
Her mother said that beautiful things could heal everything, and she could only give it a try with hope.
Otherwise, she was afraid that she would die of heart failure due to sadness.
…
Last night, Xiao Linyuan had a splitting headache after returning home, and Liao Yan was caught in the middle of the night to give him acupuncture.
Maybe the needle was too strong, he was in a coma until 9:00 PM before waking up.
"Prince, you're awake!" Chunsheng felt like he was waiting until all the flowers had wilted.
Xiao Linyuan sat up, his eyes slightly blurred, but he quickly remembered what happened last night.
"Who was the woman I met yesterday?"
Chunsheng only knew that the prince had gone out, but he didn't know where he went.
"Where did the prince go to meet this woman?"
Xiao Linyuan didn't want to waste time, so he simply called Wang Ge.
Seeing the embarrassment on Wang Ge's face, Chunsheng guessed it immediately.
The two looked at each other, neither daring to answer.
"Bang——" Xiao Linyuan slammed the table with his palm.
The teacup was overturned and the tea spilled all over the table.
"Do you still have me, the prince, in your hearts?"
There was anger mixed in with the cold and hard words. It had been a long time since they had seen the prince so angry, so the two of them quickly knelt down.
"Did mother ask you to keep it a secret from me?"
Wang Ge stood up and replied, "The poison has a great impact on the prince, and the old princess is doing this for the prince's own good."
Xiao Linyuan closed his eyes tightly. "No need to say anything else. Just tell me who that woman from the clinic is. If you're hiding something, then go follow Mother. I can't afford you!"
The two were frightened and quickly told the truth: "Her name is Song Zijin, she is your savior, and also..."
Wang Ge paused, looked up at Xiao Linyuan, then closed his eyes and said, "She's your concubine's sister-in-law!"
After hearing this, Xiao Linyuan's head seemed to hurt even more.
He would rather he was still in a dream!
"You really didn't deceive me?"
"I guarantee it's true!" Wang Ge raised four fingers. "I also guarantee that Miss Song is a good person! She was only coerced by Xiao Jin into doing this, but she accidentally saved the prince. If it weren't for her, the prince would never have woken up. The prince loves her and didn't hesitate to throw out a very important card against Xiao Jin in advance for her."
Chunsheng quickly vouched for it: "Miss Song is an excellent woman. I feel that she is the only one in the world worthy of the prince!"
Xiao Linyuan sat there for a long time.
It was so long that Chunsheng was worried that he would become a sculpture.
He actually liked such a weak woman, and that woman was the wife of his father's son with another woman...
Is it true that the woman is not a demon transformed and is here to seduce him?
There was a noise in the yard, and a moment later someone came and knocked on the door.
Wang Ge stood up to open the door, and it turned out to be Jian Shuang and the other three.
"Why are you back?"
Jian Shuang lowered her head, feeling down, "Miss Song has left the capital. She wants us to come back and report. We don't need to follow her anymore."
"What!" Wang Ge felt terrible.
