But even if I wanted to, what could I do?
Today, she is no longer an insignificant slave. She is the nominal wife of the deposed prince, and no matter what the reason, she will never marry someone else. Besides, even if he really has the courage to marry her, will Kong Wenmin agree? At that time, either he will break his legs or break that girl's legs, right?
Kong Wenjie wiped his cold face vigorously, trying to sober himself up. He whipped the horse and whispered, "Gee, gee, gee!"
…
Kong Wenjie arrived at an unlucky time, as Zhong Mingwei and Mei Ya were taking a nap in the bedroom. Pang Yi politely let him into the side room. While pouring tea for him, he smiled and said, "It's so cold, but Guard Kong came up the mountain in person. It's not easy."
"It's okay. It's not far away." Kong Wenjie took the teacup from Pang Yi and asked hesitantly. "When will the deposed prince wake up? I want to greet him in person."
"It will take at least an hour. I just went to bed," Pang Yi said in embarrassment, while busying himself. "Guard Kong, you can tell me anything you want to say. When I wake up, I will convey it to you word for word."
"It's nothing serious. The prefect heard that the deposed crown prince was not feeling well, so he sent me to take a look." Kong Wenjie looked at the sky outside which was getting slightly darker, put down the teacup in his hand, and said goodbye to Pang Yi, "In that case, I will take my leave first."
The message was delivered. It made no difference whether he met Zhong Mingwei or not. It was just a pity that he didn't meet the girl this time.
"Thank you, Guard Kong, for making this trip." Pang Yi hurriedly stood up, walked quickly forward, opened the door for Kong Wenjie, and sent Kong Wenjie out, while saying, "Guard Kong, the mountain road is difficult to travel, please be careful along the way."
"Goodbye." Kong Wenjie clasped his fists with Pang Yi, and then strode out of the outer hall. He held the horse whip in one hand and pinched the purse on his waist with the other. The two taels of silver in it could not be given out today. He didn't know where the girl had gone crazy again. She was not at home. Why not go to Jixian Book House to take a look. Maybe the girl went to see Grandma Chen again...
"Pang Yi, who is outside..." Suddenly, a little girl's voice came from the room. She seemed to have just woken up and was a little hoarse. Sure enough, before she finished speaking, she yawned for a long time.
Listening to the yawn, Kong Wenjie could imagine what the girl looked like at this moment. She must be like a lazy and sloppy cat. He thought of her disheveled appearance and couldn't help laughing. How could there be a girl like that? She always couldn't tie her hair properly and didn't even have a decent pearl flower. However, his face was so stiff that his whole body froze in place.
"Madam, it's Guard Kong," Pang Yi walked to the bedroom door and said through the door, "He came to see the master's injuries, but he's gone now."
"Oh, I see." Mei Ya yawned again, and then snuggled into Zhong Mingwei's arms like a cat.
…
Kong Wenjie stood still, his whole body trembling violently. He stared at a bare pomegranate tree in the corner without blinking. The tree was obviously well taken care of, and the exposed trunk was wrapped in straw. There were four or five red paper lanterns hanging on the branches. They should be homemade. They were not as exquisite as those outside, but small and cute. However, they must have been hanging for a long time, and the red color had faded. Kong Wenjie stared at the not-so-good-looking paper lanterns without blinking. After a while, the hand on his waist suddenly loosened, and a black purse fell to the ground.
"Guard Kong, is there anything else?" Pang Yi found Kong Wenjie still standing in the yard. He felt a little strange and walked out to ask.
Kong Wenjie didn't turn around or answer him. He suddenly ran out of the yard.
"What happened?" Pang Yi looked at Kong Wenjie running out with a look of surprise. He then watched Kong Wenjie get on his horse and leave, then turned around and went back to the outer hall.
…
Mei Ya slept well, from afternoon till dusk. She had been very sleepy recently. It was not because she was lazy, but Gu Changlin told Zhong Mingwei to have a good rest and sleep for six hours a day to help recover from his leg injury. So he added a tranquilizer to the medicine. As a result, Zhong Mingwei had the habit of taking a nap recently, and Mei Ya naturally had to accompany him.
