Chapter 446 I Promise You
Beigong You stood where he was, a bitter smile slowly appearing on his face, that smile was full of bitterness and helplessness.
He sighed softly, with a hint of loneliness in his voice: "After all, I did have selfish motives at the beginning!"
His thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the past, those complicated reasons. No matter what the considerations at the starting point were, the cruel reality was that he was the one who caused the severance of the connection between Miaoyin and Fanfan.
When he thought of this, his heart felt like it was hit hard by a heavy hammer, and the feeling of guilt was like a surging tide, completely drowning him.
Beigong You stood motionless in the room for a long time. Time seemed to have stopped, with only the waves in his heart constantly surging.
After a while, he slowly turned around.
Feng Ming stood aside, quietly watching his master's departing back. The loneliness and solitude in that figure made him feel the same way, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
——
The eldest princess' courtyard.
Lin Miaoyinlian stepped into the courtyard. As soon as she entered, a maid with an unfamiliar face came to her hurriedly with small steps.
The maid bowed slightly, made a gesture of invitation, and then led Lin Miaoyin to the inner room.
Stepping into the inner room, Lin Miaoyin looked up and saw the eldest princess sitting upright on the throne.
However, at this moment, the eldest princess's eyes were filled with a hint of coldness, like frost in December, shooting straight at Lin Miaoyin, making people shudder. Lin Miaoyin raised her eyebrows slightly, with a hint of unruly and calmness in her smart eyebrows.
She followed the rules and bowed to the eldest princess gracefully. Her movements were smooth and graceful, fully demonstrating the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.
However, the eldest princess was like a cold statue and did not utter a word.
For a moment, the room fell into deathly silence. Only Lin Miaoyin remained frozen in place with her knees half bent.
The air seemed to freeze, and every second of waiting became extremely long.
After a moment, seeing that the princess still showed no intention of letting her stand up, Lin Miaoyin's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, and she simply stood up straight.
She looked calmly at the princess and asked in a cold voice, "Princess, why did you specially call me here?"
When the princess heard this, her face darkened instantly. She spoke coldly with unquestionable majesty in her tone: "Have I allowed you to stand up?"
Hearing this, Lin Miaoyin raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a faint smile, but the smile did not reach her eyes: "If the princess just wants to establish her authority and has no other important matters, then I'm sorry I can't accompany you."
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around without hesitation, her skirt fluttering gently in the wind, as if she was about to leave this depressing inner room.
The princess saw this and her anger suddenly rose. She slammed the table so hard that the teacups on the table jumped a few times. "How dare you!"
She shouted angrily, her voice sharp and fierce.
Following this angry shout, the maids and servants at the door rushed in instantly and surrounded Lin Miaoyin.
Lin Miaoyin slowly turned her head, facing the eldest princess's icy expression, and asked calmly, "Princess, are you planning to attack me?"
The princess picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then laughed coldly, her laugh full of ridicule and disdain, and said, "You have instructed Prince Ning to attack the people in my palace, and I still need to be polite to you?"
Lin Miaoyin looked indifferent. She explained calmly, "Princess, are you talking about Xie Dan, the doctor of the Xie Mansion? But as far as I know, Xie Dan was not injured at all. The wounds on his hands were all caused by himself. The prince was kind enough to help him straighten his bones. How could that be considered a physical attack?"
At this point, Lin Miaoyin paused for a moment before asking, "By the way, Aunt Wu should know the most about this, right? I heard that after Xie Dan returned to Yu Xiuling's courtyard, he only met Aunt Wu besides Yu Xiuling."
After hearing what Lin Miaoyin said, the princess' already gloomy expression became even uglier.
She said in a cold voice: "Are you trying to sow discord between me and Xie Dan, the master and servant?"
Lin Miaoyin sneered disdainfully. Although the sound was small, it was like a sharp dagger that cut through the tense atmosphere in the room.
She responded: "Princess, you are overthinking. I have no interest in the matter between you and your servant. I am just telling you the truth!"
After hearing her words, the princess suddenly narrowed her eyes slightly, raised her chin slightly, and motioned Lin Miaoyin to look back.
Lin Miaoyin felt a little uneasy and turned around subconsciously.
When she saw the man being carried up by two strong men, her pupils contracted sharply.
"Shen Yu!"
She screamed, her voice full of shock and anxiety.
Without time to think, Lin Miaoyin stepped forward like an arrow, stretched out her hands eagerly, trying to help up the man who was covered in blood and had a weak breath.
In her eyes, it seemed that only this injured figure remained at this moment, and everything else had been forgotten.
However, her action was suddenly blocked by the quick-eyed and quick-handed guard beside her.
The guard was tall, like an insurmountable wall. He held a long sword in his hand, and the cold tip of the gun flashed with a cold light, pointing directly at Lin Miaoyin.
Lin Miaoyin was forced to stop, her eyes widened with anger and unwillingness, and she asked loudly: "Princess, what are you going to do?"
Upon seeing this, the eldest princess's lips slowly curled up into a meaningful smile, which seemed to contain endless calculations.
"Lin Miaoyin," she said, her voice soft but with a sense of oppression, "How about you make a deal with me?"
Lin Miaoyin's face instantly turned as dark as ink. She stared at the eldest princess with her lips tightly closed, and did not respond immediately.
She knew in her heart that the deal proposed by the princess would not be simple, but Shen Yu's miserable condition made her anxious. For a moment, she was in extreme entanglement.
The princess didn't seem to care about Lin Miaoyin's silence. She was full of confidence, as if she had already determined that Lin Miaoyin would agree in the end. "Go and cure Yu Lingxiu's illness,"
The princess said slowly, while gently playing with the emerald green jade bracelet in her hand, "I will spare his life, how about that?"
Lin Miaoyin couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, and her laughter was full of sarcasm. "Even a famous doctor like Xie Dan can't cure this disease," she looked at the princess with a burning gaze and said fearlessly, "Princess, do you think I can do it?"
The princess was not angry at Lin Miaoyin's questioning. She continued to play with the jade bracelet slowly and said, "That depends on how much you want to save this man's life."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Yu's painful groan came from behind Lin Miaoyin.
With her hands tightly clenched into a ball, Lin Miaoyin bit her lip and looked at the princess, saying word by word: "Okay, I promise you!"
