Care at night
In the dark night, there was a sweet and fishy smell between the beddings, and it was hot and stuffy, making people feel nauseous.
But Jiang Jingyuan no longer cared about these things.
“Shengliang!!”
Jiang Jingyuan buried her head in the quilt, with most of her body still outside, trying hard and frantically to wriggle back in. With her head buried in the quilt, she called out in a trembling voice, "Shengliang——"
The red-haired fox woke up instantly with a look of fear on his face for a moment, then got furious and threw off the quilt, snapping his claws!
It had a ferocious expression and shouted, "Get off the mountain! I'm not letting foxes live in peace every day!"
Jiang Jingyuan just hugged it tightly.
Sheng Liang calmed down, took a deep breath, and looked at the girl buried in his fur. He tried to be gentle but couldn't hide his gritted teeth. He asked, "What happened? Tell me, what popped up again?"
If nothing affects you, then don't blame me for making you suffer... The little fox thought expressionlessly.
Hearing the sound, Jiang Jingyuan suddenly raised his face from the fox's fragrant and smelly fur. His expression was grim and his pupils trembled slightly.
She stared at the fox for a long time.
The little fox smiled, looked at her with eyes full of encouragement, and said softly:
"Speak, quickly, speak, ah."
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly felt a chill on his back, his ugly face froze, and then he immediately told the story quickly like pouring beans.
After hearing this, Sheng Liang's expression softened a bit. He glanced at her and said, "Otherwise, why do we all say that we should eliminate obsession and fear first? If we have obsession and fear in our hearts, even if fate comes, we won't dare to reach out and grab it, but instead will push it away."
It raised its paw and patted the girl's back comfortingly, "Don't think too much about this for now, just take care of..."
Jiang Jingyuan suddenly let go of his hands, and the whole person jumped up like a fish coming out of the shore. He took out a shoe from thin air and stepped on it, running out of the door in the darkness.
“I’m going down the mountain!!”
He disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The little fox raised one paw in the air and didn't react for a while.
After a long while, its expression was distorted, and it gritted its teeth in its heart, "This Linghu is a terrible person", then it jumped to the ground and chased after it.
…………
Although she felt calmer and more at ease after seeing Sheng Liang, but... her heart was still trembling uncontrollably, and an overwhelming fear enveloped her.
Jiang Jingyuan ran down the mountain frantically, took out the brass disc, and the moment she teleported, a red and white figure rushed over from behind and grabbed her tightly.
The man and the fox disappeared in an instant.
Yuan State.
Diqu City.
Late at night, in Princess Changsheng's mansion, the red-haired fox said, "I'll wait for you in the mansion," and walked away wagging its tail.
Jiang Jingyuan didn't hear or respond. Her mind was in a tangle, and she was restless. She hurried into the palace alone, her face tense and nervous.
"Your Highness Changsheng..." The palace maid's eyes were filled with hesitation, and her tone was full of confusion. "You are entering the palace so late..."
Yuan Shi, who came hurriedly after hearing the news, coughed and said, "The wind is cold and the dew is heavy. Your Highness, please go to the palace first. His Majesty is resting and doesn't know yet. I..." I will go and report a few things first.
A gust of wind was blowing rapidly ahead.
Yuan Shi was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, "Your Highness! Your Highness!" He turned around in panic and chased after him.
Jiang Jingyuan's mind was in a mess as he rushed forward. He felt like he was in a trance for a moment. When he looked up again, the familiar palace appeared in front of him.
Yuan Shi caught up from behind and said, "Palace..."
He paused abruptly, and Jiang Jingyuan, standing in front of him, raised her hand to signal him to silence. Yuan Shi pursed his lips, carefully approached, and lowered his voice, "It's late. Your Highness, please go to the side hall to ward off the cold. I will report to His Majesty."
Jiang Jingyuan stood there, looking at the palace in front of him, and did not refuse. Yuan Shi immediately breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to beckon the palace servants to lead the way.
Suddenly, the girl in front said "No" coldly without turning her head.
Yuan Shi was startled when he heard her voice, then his face changed slightly when he understood what she said. What did she mean by "no"? He was not sure what she meant.
The next moment, the girl slowly walked out of the palace, took out a chair, put it down, and sat down.
Yuan Shi: “???”
Yuan Shi couldn't help but widen his eyes and slightly open his mouth. His mind was stuck in confusion and he was stunned for a moment before he hurriedly stepped forward to try to persuade him.
"Your Highness, it's too cold at night..." Yuan Shi sighed silently before finishing his sentence. He thought that it was impossible for His Majesty to be angry with His Highness Changsheng, so he said, "I will go and report to Your Majesty right away." He was about to push the door and go into the hall.
"No..." Jiang Jingyuan, who was not far away, suddenly said slowly.
Yuan Shi was stunned and stopped what he was doing.
Jiang Jingyuan leaned against a chair, sitting by the palace wall, looking at the quiet night outside the palace, with a dull expression on her face, and it was impossible to read her thoughts.
Yuan Shi paused, walked aside silently, and waited quietly for her to order him around or change her mind at any time.
Jiang Jingyuan's face was cold, and his pair of dark eyes had dimmed with despair at some point.
She was so frightened that she subconsciously wanted to go home to find Jiang Jingjian, but when she reached the outside of the palace, she suddenly remembered that the world was in turmoil recently and Jiang Jingjian and the others must be very busy. She should not disturb them so late at night...
Jiang Jingyuan's face remained expressionless, but she sighed repeatedly inwardly, her heart still trembling with anxiety. She felt a lingering sense of panic and unease, but she wasn't frightened to the point of feeling dizzy. She was simply so absorbed in the pounding of her heart that she didn't notice Yuan Shi had retreated from her side.
She was unconscious, sometimes focused, sometimes in a trance, looking up at the sky.
Sitting alone outside the palace in the cold and dark night, looking at the lonely and desolate...
The black-robed figure walked forward lightly, bent down and looked at her face. His face was gentle, and he asked softly and gently:
"Are you crying?"
It's hard to hide the weirdness.
Jiang Jingyuan was in a trance, a pale spot appeared in her peripheral vision, and her heart skipped a beat, but on the surface, she sat calmly and steadily on the chair, with her right hand raised casually.
The blood-red chain suddenly pierced out from the void.
"Jiang Jingyuan!!!"
Jiang Weiji's face suddenly changed, he screamed, and instantly disappeared into the night.
It's a human... Jiang Jingyuan remained calm, feeling relieved. After a pause, she subconsciously gathered her strength, even though she was tired. She added in her mind, "It's not a human, but treat it as one."
Jiang Weiji's figure appeared in the front left, and he said with resentment: "I care about you, and you don't appreciate it, but you want to hit me?"
Jiang Jingyuan didn't bother to pay attention to him. He didn't even have any thoughts of being speechless or sarcastic. He just stared at the dark world ahead of him as if he didn't hear anything.
Jiang Weiji tsk- ...
Jiang Jingyuan frowned instantly, letting out a surprised "Huh!" and staring at him with slightly widened eyes. She thought, didn't they say she'd let him do whatever he wanted? Why was he the one constantly urging her to work harder?!
"I naturally have my reasons for coming back." Jiang Jingyuan said coldly.
Jiang Weiji sighed sadly and said, "I care about you, and this is all for your benefit." He reached out to touch her head to comfort her.
"Pa!" Jiang Jingyuan slapped his hand away, frowning even tighter. He said, "You should have some sense of propriety."
Jiang Weiji is quiet.
Jiang Jingyuan glanced at him and saw Jiang Weiji slowly raising his sleeve to cover the lower half of his face, with his eyes lowered. In the dim light, he was shrouded in loneliness.
Jiang Jingyuan sighed, remembering this person's origins. His annoyance dissipated, and thinking that this person must be too lonely and helpless, he suddenly felt kind and explained in a gentle voice, "I was upset. I came down the mountain because I was upset."
Jiang Weiji slowly raised his eyes in a daze.
"Boom..." Not far away, the door of the magnificent palace was opened from the inside, making a dull sound.
Jiang Jingyuan glanced over, feeling delighted for a moment, then suddenly feeling suffocated. He had made too much noise and woke someone up...
Candlelight flickered in the open hall. In the dim light, Jiang Jingjian walked out, glanced sideways, and turned to walk towards him.
"Why are you out here in the cold?" Jiang Jingjian looked at the only chair around her and said disapprovingly, "Next time, go wait in the hall and have someone come find me."
Jiang Jingyuan was silent.
Jiang Jingyuan slowly turned her gaze away. If she dared, how could she go down the mountain...
"At least bring something to keep warm. Don't go blowing in the cold wind." Jiang Jingjian warned her, then took her hand and said, "Let's go to the palace."
Jiang Jingyuan paused for a moment, then stood up but didn't leave. She looked at him seriously, with a mixture of sadness, tenderness, and many unknown and complex emotions, then pursed her lips and said, "I think I can go back now."
She just wanted to come and see Jiang Jingjian and have a few words with him. Only then could she feel at ease.
But... shouldn't.
This is unresolved fear.
It wasn't fear and falsehood that she was after.
Jiang Jingyuan lowered her eyes, her eyes filled with sadness. The moment when she struggled to say "no" and "I want to go back" flashed through her mind again and again.
Jiang Jingjian looked at her, turned his head and glared at Jiang Weiji next to him, then looked at her again and said, "No rush, one day won't make a difference." He used some force in his hands and led her into the hall.
The cold wind was gradually blocked outside the hall.
Jiang Weiji didn't know what he was thinking and was absent-minded for a while. When he came back to his senses, he saw the palace door closing rapidly. He made a "tsk" sound and slipped into the door at the last moment.
"Don't think, don't think too much. Troubles are all illusions given by the mind. No matter what the final result is, it's all good."
As they walked, Jiang Jingjian slowly turned around, reached out and gently embraced the person next to him who was bowing her head. He raised his hand and touched the top of the girl's head in a soothing manner, saying softly, "Becoming an immortal or not, the success or failure of anything, there is no distinction between good and bad. Accept everything, and your heart will be at peace."
Jiang Jingyuan was startled, then looked up at him. His eyes were gentle and serious. After a long while, Jiang Jingyuan slowly came back to his senses, his heart suddenly washed away by a miraculous feeling.
How should I put it? Jiang Jingyuan thought, perhaps it came back to that question...
Many, many people who had no idea about these things before, suddenly, like a volcano erupting, were able to say these words and do these things.
Jiang Jingyuan inadvertently glanced at the book on the table next to her. She turned her eyes away without reacting, lost in thought. Suddenly, she opened her eyes wide and turned away again, asking uncertainly:
"This book... have you found it recently?"
Jiang Jingjian was startled, and also looked over. He said, "Oh," and said, "This book from several years ago, I don't know how it happened, but I suddenly found it in this hall."
Jiang Jingyuan was silent for a long time, then pursed his lips and said "hmm" and asked, "Will you watch it? If not, I'll take you away to watch it."
"Take a look," Jiang Jingjian said, "I have some notes for you."
Jiang Jingyuan took the notes, flipped through them, and said "hmm" without saying anything.
She lowered her eyes and thought, this is completely different...
At this moment, Jiang Jingyuan felt a little emotional. It turned out that even with such a clear story, people who did not understand the book would only think of things related to themselves, which had nothing to do with the original meaning of the book.
From behind, Jiang Weiji came over, raised his eyes, and felt sad.
Although he certainly couldn't compare to Jiang Jingjian in terms of friendship with Jiang Jingyuan, he still couldn't help but twist his expression and said, "Your temper varies from person to person."
Jiang Jingjian raised his eyebrows, glanced at him, then looked at the girl in front of him. Countless scenes from the past suddenly flashed through his mind. He paused, glanced at him with disdain, and then thought silently: "Who hasn't gone through this..."
Jiang Weiji lowered his eyes. They were clearly old friends who had just met in a foreign land. He didn't believe Jiang Jingyuan would tell anyone about this...
Suddenly, he raised his eyes and looked forward again, thinking slowly, that’s good, it’s not like him and them.
Tsk tsk, I couldn't help but feel it. The sadness and depression of the people behind me almost turned into a tangible cold wind... Jiang Jingyuan paused, turned slowly, and said calmly:
"I will practice well."
—I will dispel my fear.
"Just wait and see."
——I cannot guarantee when I will ascend to heaven, but I will do my best to be steadfast.
Finally, Jiang Jingyuan asked him casually, "Have you made up your mind? When the time comes, where do you want to go back to first?"
Jiang Weiji was stunned.
