Chapter 147 (5,000 words) Xuan Yi is really sick...
The candlelight flickered, casting a thin glow into the petal-strewn bathtub, faintly illuminating the depths and revealing a glimpse of light, as tiny bubbles shifted constantly.
Deep inside, Yin Xing struggled with the belt around her wrist, only to find that Xuan Yizheng's right wrist was also tied up. She could hardly hide her shock.
Damn it, this way of playing can kill people!
But Xuan Yizheng had an indifferent expression, with dark eyes, as if she had already put life and death aside.
After a while, Yin Xing finally freed his hands. There were obvious red marks on his wrists. He waved his arms to swim out of the pool, but found that Xuan Yizheng was still unmoved. She seemed willing to drown in the pool and was unwilling to leave. Instead, she leaned in and kissed him.
Yin Xing felt Xuan Yizheng's kiss, but he didn't understand what she was thinking. He just knew that he couldn't let her do whatever she wanted. He raised his hand to hold hers, and swam towards the light above the gap between the petals, not daring to hesitate.
Because Yin Xing is really about to die!
After a while, ripples appeared on the water surface, and pink petals fluttered. Yin Xing's breathing became rapid, and water droplets kept falling from her thick eyelashes. She looked pitiful and said in a weak voice, "Yizhen, don't you know that you could very well die if you did that just now?"
Xuan Yizhen's aura was also noticeably unstable, but he wasn't as flustered as Yin Xing. He raised his hand to tidy up the hair that was sticking to her cheek, his movements gentle as he replied calmly, "I know, that's why I did that."
"Why?"
"Because I would rather die than live with you."
The words were light and clear, and Yin Xing eased the discomfort of lack of oxygen. He looked up at Xuan Yizhen, who was calm and resolute, and found that she had not changed at all.
The uneasy Xuan Yizhen at the beginning was still deeply worried, so he cared so much about being late.
It was just that Xuan Yizheng was too good at hiding her feelings, and Yin Xing thought he had already cured the illusion poison, so he relaxed a little, and was slow to notice her fragile emotions.
Yin Xing looked at Xuan Yizhen in front of him with guilt, raised his hands to embrace her, kissed her lips, and explained: "I never thought of leaving you."
Xuan Yizhen didn't reject Yin Xing's intimacy, but she didn't respond either. She lowered her beautiful eyes to look at her wet ones, like a mountain elk, and said in a complicated voice in her heart: "But you never forgot the time you had a meal with me before."
Even when Yin Xing went to work at the Dali Temple, he would leave early every day and never come back late.
But now that they are in the same palace, Yin Xing is able to waste time, which clearly shows that she is not as concerned about him as before.
A sore, swollen and stinging pain spread from his heart and chest, and Xuan Yizheng could not really handle this feeling.
"I'm sorry." Yin Xing's heart was in a knot when he saw Xuan Yizheng's lost look.
After he finished speaking, seeing that Xuan Yizhen didn't respond, and her cold face showed a fragile expression, Yin Xing had no choice but to lean over and kiss her, touching her carefully and slowly testing her.
Fortunately, Xuan Yizheng is not so sad that he no longer wants to be close to me.
Yin Xing didn't care about shame, he just wanted Xuan Yizheng to feel some of his love, at least she wouldn't be depressed and negative and want to take him away from this world.
If Xuan Yizhen had not chosen to endure but instead exploded her emotions tonight, Yin Xing would probably have had no idea that her thoughts had become so dangerous.
Ripples spread across the surface of the pond, and dense kisses accumulated like sparks, clumsy and immature but extremely proactive. Xuan Yizheng raised his hand and placed it on the back of Yin Xing's slender neck, his breathing was slightly heavy, even a little hot.
Normally, Yin Xing is rarely so direct. She always takes her time with foreplay. Xuan Yizheng looks at her dark eyes calmly, but in the end, he still silently condones her every inch of offense.
It's strange that Xuan Yizheng is always unable to refuse Yin Xing. It has been like this since they first met.
It was obvious that the flower car carrying her could be taken out of the villa at that time, but Xuan Yizheng did not make such arrangements, but condoned her violation of the rules.
If it were anyone else in the world, Xuan Yizheng would not have the patience to treat a strange intruder.
Yin Xing blushed and slowly raised her arms, feeling Xuan Yizheng's tolerance. Shallow ripples appeared on the water surface, surrounding the two of them.
The peach-colored petals stuck to Xuan Yizheng's cold white skin and black hair, adding an inexplicable coolness to her. The rich floral fragrance around her was a bit quiet, which made people even more intoxicated.
But looking at Xuan Yizheng's reaction, her jade-white face did not show any more desire, only her cold, dark eyes were shrouded in mist, but they seemed to be able to see through the end of time, silently looking at herself, forever.
Yin Xing leaned over and kissed Xuan Yizheng's thin lips in a trance, getting as close to her as possible to feel her slightly chaotic heartbeat, thinking to himself that he was such a fool. She should be more lovable and cared for than a little girl.
At least the little girl didn't have to bear the grudges between her parents and the burden of the family, but Xuan Yizheng had lived in danger all her childhood and she didn't even receive a little love.
That's probably why Xuan Yizheng became so anxious and worried.
The candlelight danced, and amidst the soft humming and panting, sticky tears kept sliding down and flowing, piling up layer upon layer, reflecting a unique luster.
The bright red light could not penetrate the dense hot mist and was only blurred into a halo, as if the sun could burn everything into nothing.
Outside the window, the night is deep and the sky is full of twinkling stars, it is a bright summer night scene.
The moon moves and the stars rotate, the clouds slowly dissipate, and when the distant sky turns pale, the morning glow spreads across the clouds, illuminating the magnificent scene of fireworks in China's capital.
In the early morning, in an alleyway and courtyard somewhere in the capital, smoke rose from the kitchen. Liu Siyun, an early riser, was making a fire to cook noodle soup, with a medical book beside her.
He Yun came in from outside and asked in surprise, "Why didn't Senior Sister cook breakfast today?"
Liu Siyun beat the eggs skillfully and replied calmly, "On the fifteenth of every month, Sister Liu has to take care of Sister Jiang who stays in bed, so she has no time to cook."
The little Liu Siyun was ignorant and thought that Sister Jiang's old illness had relapsed. However, she found that it was the same every year and every month, and realized that she was just being lazy.
Hearing this, He Yun knew the reason why Jiang Yun was trying to stay in bed with her senior sister.
In broad daylight, Jiang Yun is really shameless, but her senior sister is too indulgent towards her.
At this time, the gauze curtains in the main house in the courtyard were drooping and swaying, and the sounds of wooden boards and branches were intermittent, covering up some low humming. Liu Ci leaned against Jiang Yun with a red face and a dazed look, her heart beating faster and harder to calm down.
In contrast, Jiang Yun seemed to be at ease. He kissed Liu Ci, who rarely showed her charm, and said with a lingering feeling, "Let's do it again."
"No." Liu Ci raised his palm lightly and placed it on Jiang Yun's forehead, scolding him.
At this rate, I won't have to eat lunch.
Jiang Yun's heart was moved when he heard this, but in the end he stopped making any more trouble. He just cuddled up to her and enjoyed their rare time together.
After a while, Liu Ci pushed the naughty Jiang Yun away with a red face, and fastened her clothes by herself. She thought to herself that this person has been full of energy since she was a child, and she really can't let her act recklessly.
After tidying up and washing up, Jiang Yun went out of the house, carrying a wooden bucket and attentively trying to please Liu Ci, so that she would not be unwilling to be intimate with him next time.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them walked out of the main house, they saw three people sitting in the pavilion, which was very conspicuous.
Liu Ci shyly avoided his gaze, pinched Jiang Yun's soft flesh with his fingertips, and went to the kitchen to cook some noodles.
Jiang Yun, who was thick-skinned and thick-skinned, didn't react at all. He said carelessly, "It's a rare lively day today."
He Yun glanced at her senior sister's red earlobes, too lazy to pay attention to Jiang Yun, and did not respond.
Liu Siyun was eating the fried egg soaked in soup, knowing that Sister Jiang was not talking to her.
Don’t talk while eating and don’t talk while sleeping. This is a good habit that Sister Liu taught me.
So Su Xuying, waving her golden fan, said rudely, "I've just returned from my trip abroad and just happened to come to you to settle my bills."
"Wait, there shouldn't be any financial dispute between us, right?" Jiang Yun poured the tea and took a big gulp.
"You eat and drink for free on a daily basis, and even go into the kitchen to get a bottle of vinegar. My restaurant is not doing charity, okay." Su Xuying couldn't help rolling her eyes.
Jiang Yun laughed shamelessly and said, "Okay, I'll reimburse you, the iron hen. Don't be angry."
Originally, Jiang Yun also wanted to go to the market to buy vegetables and vinegar, but the restaurant was so conveniently located that he got used to keeping accounts there to save trouble.
"Where do you get the money as a jobless scoundrel now?" Su Xuying weighed Jiang Yun's silver ingot, suspecting it was a fake, and asked inquiringly.
"Stop, I'm now the head coach hired by the women's martial arts troupe, and I get paid twenty taels a month. What big things have you been busy with recently? Why are you so out of touch with the news?" Jiang Yun knew that Su Xuying was now the head of the group and usually had no time to show up, so it was a rare opportunity for them to meet and reminisce today.
When Su Xuying heard the number twenty taels, she looked down at the twenty taels of silver ingot in her palm, thinking that Jiang Yun was just busy eating and drinking to supplement the family income every month.
Suddenly I felt that Liu Ci was really a good person. It was not easy for him to save Jiang Yun from starving to death on the streets.
Su Xuying came back to her senses and replied, "I was ordered to deliver a meteorite from outer space to the summer palace, and I just returned to the capital."
Jiang Yun asked curiously, "I've heard of meteorites, but I've never seen one. Why would the Empress suddenly want to send such a precious thing to the Summer Palace?"
"How would I know? I only know that it was Queen Yin who suggested sending her to the garden with the Wuxiang flower tree, and that something strange and bizarre happened to her."
"Something weird, maybe a ghost? Tell me about it."
When Jiang Yun heard about the formless flower tree, he thought of the ghost fire that year and Yin Xing who inexplicably turned into a ghost, and he became a little curious for a moment.
Su Xuying had nothing to hide from Jiang Yun, so she told her the details.
The summer palace has been under intermittent repair since the third princess set it on fire a few years ago.
However, at that time, the national treasury was not well-off due to the need to build ditches, waterways and other works, so progress was slow.
Su Xuying led the palace guards to carry the meteorite into the flower and tree garden. The other gardens had long since recovered their lush vegetation, but the vegetation there was withered, and the ground was filled with a sense of isolation and loneliness.
What's even more bizarre is that when the meteorite was sent into it, the sky and the earth suddenly changed color, and then the meteorite inexplicably lit up with lightning-like light, and many people fainted from fright.
At that time, Su Xuying also felt the strange numbness in her fingertips. If she had not reacted in time and moved away, she would probably have suffered as well.
Just when Su Xuying was afraid of something strange, a terrifying figure suddenly emerged from the towering tree that had been burned by the fire and whose trunk had been ordered to be cut down by the empress, because this person had no face!
"That should be the legendary Gui Ning. How did you escape?" Jiang Yun thought of how Yin Xing had exchanged bodies with Gui Ning. He suddenly looked at Su Xuying warily, his palm resting on the hilt of the sword.
He Yun was not interested in what they were talking about, so she followed Liu Siyun out of the pavilion after she finished her noodles. After all, Jiang Yun loved chatting with her friends, which was boring.
Now He Yun doesn’t know why her senior sister must be with Jiang Yun. Their personalities are not compatible at all.
However, He Yun's mentality was much calmer. She looked at her senior sister who was busy at the stove. They had depended on each other since childhood, so she could naturally feel her joy and peace.
Now that He Yun has become the general guarding the capital, she has naturally encountered many people who have shown their goodwill to her. She found that if someone likes her, they like her, and if someone doesn’t like her, they don’t like her. There is no way to compromise.
So when my senior sister rejected me that year, she was probably respecting me and didn’t want to deceive me.
Thinking of this, He Yun suddenly felt that everything became clear. In fact, being a family is also good, otherwise she would be letting down her senior sister's kindness.
In the other pavilion, the two were still talking with great fascination.
"I don't know if that was the legendary ghost Ning. Anyway, we left the Flower Tree Garden in a hurry. We didn't order people to rescue the others until the sky returned to normal and we could no longer see that figure. Fortunately, he was just unconscious and not seriously injured." Su Xuying felt a chill when she thought about it now. Who wouldn't be in awe of the gods and ghosts in heaven and earth?
Jiang Yun breathed a sigh of relief, because from what Yin Xing mentioned, the exchange seemed to have to be voluntary, and it was unlikely that Su Xuying would give up her wealth for anyone.
"So what else happened?"
"Yes, that huge, bulky meteorite suddenly disappeared in plain sight. It was outrageous."
Su Xuying felt that the formless flower tree was really weird, and that the ghost Ning might really have some magical powers.
Seeing Su Xuying showing some rare fear and trepidation, Jiang Yun said with a smile, "How about this, you give me twenty taels and I'll go to the summer palace for you, how about that?"
After she finished speaking, Su Xuying raised an eyebrow and said, "I haven't even warmed up the twenty taels of silver ingot yet, you're dreaming."
Jiang Yun was amused by this reaction and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that Gui Ning has to avoid you when he sees a money-grubber like you, hahaha!"
Now Jiang Yun can confirm that Su Xuying is still the same Su Xuying, as stingy as ever!
As they talked, the scorching sun was shining. Far away from the summer palace in the capital, the Flower Tree Garden was now a restricted area. The palace maids would even take a detour because it was haunted.
There were broken wood and dead trees, and a dead silence. Among them was a lonely figure that was looming, which was very consistent with Su Xuying's description.
When the original owner saw the meteorite for the first time, he felt that it looked like a control platform, and immediately seemed to see hope.
That night, the original owner wanted to find a scapegoat to escape the empress's imprisonment, but he didn't expect to become the half-human, half-ghost existence he is now.
The fire and the deliberate logging and blockade caused the destruction of the entire space. The Wuxiang Flower has been unable to grow in recent years, which has further increased the panic of the original owner Gui Ning.
It feels like I'll be trapped in this ugly body for the rest of my life, which is really driving me crazy.
Therefore, when the meteorite was connected to light again, the original owner was ecstatic, but he did not expect that the long wait had just begun.
[The system has confirmed your identity. Please wait for the next Jiazi year.]
Upon seeing this, the original owner was furious and fell into extreme madness, but he was unable to touch any existence and could only drift decadently in the world.
God knows when the next Jiazi year will come!
The wind was blowing, the clouds were surging, the branches and leaves were swaying, silently blocking the crazy figure.
As time passed, it was already midsummer. A summer thunder started the day, the sky turned gray, and heavy rain poured down. Suddenly, the sound of raindrops hitting the roof tiles and window sills was very noisy.
Jiang Yun came out of Wuxing and waited for a long time for the rain to stop, so he had to walk hurriedly across the long street. When he was about to turn the corner, he was stopped by someone. Then an umbrella blocked the water droplets, making a continuous tapping sound, forming a natural barrier.
Liu Ci wiped the rain off Jiang Yun's cheek with an embroidered handkerchief. Her fingertips touched her wet clothes and she complained, "I know you don't take care of yourself at all. Why are you in such a hurry?"
"It's okay. I'm just in a hurry to go back to see you." Jiang Yun hugged Liu Ci to shelter from the rain, took the umbrella with one hand, and teased.
"You're so talkative. You're not fifteen or sixteen anymore. If you don't pay attention, you'll be hurt." Liu Ci didn't buy Jiang Yun's sweet words. She knew she was just being nice, so she couldn't help but nagging her.
Jiang Yun was seriously injured back then, and even Liu Ci thought she would not survive, so he was particularly concerned about her daily life.
Jiang Yun nodded in agreement, without the slightest intention of bickering with Su Xuying and the others. He sniffed the sweet aroma of the herbs, clasped his arms tightly, and replied, "Aci, it is the greatest honor of my life to have you as my companion!"
Liu Ci paused, and hugged Jiang Yun with a flushed face. He thought that Jiang Yun loved to use this kind of rhetoric to coax people, and said shamelessly: "We are still outside. Let's talk about it when we get back."
Well, Liu Ci had to admit that he liked everything about Jiang Yun, and he couldn't hate her even for her shortcomings.
"Okay." Jiang Yun saw that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, even soaking Liu Ci's skirt. He knew that she must have come too hastily because she was worried. How stupid.
In the wind and rain, pedestrians hurried past, the long street became increasingly empty, and two figures under the oil-paper umbrellas walked closely together, slowly towards their destination.
The rain poured down in torrents, and the sky was filled with rain. The palace was no exception. The rain formed curtains under the eaves of the palaces, relieving the stuffiness.
Yin Xing lay by the window watching the rain and wind. The red mark on his wrist disappeared, leaving only a faint mark.
On the other hand, Xuan Yizhen, who was flipping through the documents, had no trace of any foundation on her cold white wrist. She was like a flawless jade, with absolutely no flaws to be found on it, and it was pleasing to the eye.
Xuan Yizhen noticed Yin Xing's burning gaze, and met his clear eyes with a normal expression, saying, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, I just think this rain is nice and cool."
"Is that so? I thought you were worried about the little girl getting sick from the rain."
Yin Xing had no choice but to lean closer to Xuan Yizhen and sit close to her. His gaze fell on her cold and beautiful eyes. Unable to read her thoughts, he could only answer honestly, "Actually, I was looking at Yizhen just now, not thinking of anyone else."
Xuan Yizhen knew that Yin Xing was looking at him, but he didn't understand why she didn't admit it. He said calmly, "Yeah."
The response was a bit too cold and perfunctory. Yin Xing leaned against Xuan Yizheng helplessly, and whispered everything in his ear with a hot face.
The sound of rain was noisy, and the heat fell on his ears, as if it could penetrate into his heart. Xuan Yizhen paused in flipping through the documents, pursed his lips, looked at Yin Xing and said, "You mean to say that I was actually imagining myself without clothes..."
The voice paused, Yin Xing raised his hand to cover Xuan Yizhen's lips, a little embarrassed, hesitantly said: "Just understand it, don't say it out loud!"
After he finished speaking, Xuan Yizheng let out a faint smile, raised his hand, held Yin Xing's palm, and kissed it deliberately, with a calm expression as if he didn't realize there was any problem.
"Why should I be embarrassed about this? If you want to see it, I can show it to you anytime."
“…”
Yin Xing looked at the honest Xuan Yizheng in silence, feeling his palms burning as if they had touched flames. He wanted to say that he was not so dissolute.
But Yin Xing thought about how she had just confessed to Xuan Yizhen, and she didn't want to slap herself in the face. Her cheeks flushed, and she had to agree.
Alas, in order to prevent Xuan Yizheng from misunderstanding and getting sad, I have no choice but to give it my all!
