When it comes to "deceiving", no one can compare to Ning Yin who pretended to be obedient and did everything in order to stay in the Yu Mansion.

Yu Lingxi knew it well.

But when I heard the phrase "It doesn't matter to my bad point", the tip of my heart still couldn't stop trembling.

"The first person who lied to me is already dead, and his death is ugly."

Ning Yin seemed to be recalling the distant past, and her voice became softer, "But if Lingxi lied to me, I couldn't bear it... I can only lock it up and **** and bite this deceiving tongue bit by bit until Lingxi couldn't speak, and could only whimper and cry for mercy."

He raised his finger and pressed Yu Lingxi's lips, his eyes blurred with ink, beautiful and obsessed.

Ning Yin must be in a good mood at this time, even the breath she exhaled was filled with a relaxed smile.

Yu Lingxi knew that if she wanted Ning Yin's heart, this little lunatic would dig it out without hesitation, wipe it clean, and then give it to her with a smile.

But such an arrogant and domineering person is always more paranoid than rational when facing her overtures.

It seemed that in his subconscious mind, no one would really love him at all.

Who was the first person to deceive Ning Yin?

She could not restrain her speculation: Ning Yin is so cautious and paranoid, is it thanks to that person?

"I won't lie to you."

Yu Lingxi sighed softly and leaned into his arms.

For an open-minded person, it is not difficult to speak the truth.

So, her delicate palms gently wrapped Ning Yin's knuckles, and led his hands to her heart, allowing him to feel the surging heartbeat at that moment.

"Touch it if you don't believe me."

Yu Lingxi tilted her head slightly, and said softly, "My heartbeat won't lie."

Ning Yin stopped talking, and buried her chin in the socket of her shoulder, feeling the soft contours under her palm.

After a while, he said meaningfully: "I can't figure it out."

"Huh?" Yu Lingxi was puzzled.

Ning Yin lowered her eyes and said in her ear: "The clothes are too thick, it's in the way."

"..."

Yu Lingxi reacted, her eyes widened, and she shook his hand away.

But Ning Yin easily pressed her wrist, leaned forward, his knuckles went up her wrist, passed over the side of her neck, and gently pinched her chin to fix it.

He forced her to look at him until her cheeks were flushed with heat, Fang smiled and leaned over, biting her lower lip with the tip of his teeth.

With a little force on the palm resting on the back of her neck, Yu Lingxi exclaimed.

Little do they know that the door is wide open, and someone who has planned for a long time takes advantage of it.

When the carriage stopped in front of the palace, Yu Lingxi's face was red, her eyes were distracted, and there was only one thought in her mind:

You must not lie to the little lunatic, the tongue will be eaten.

At the same time, in the palace.

The queen rolled the beads in her hand and asked, "Prince Jing snatched away Yu Lingxi, who retired from the engagement, in the street?"

"It's true for all to see."

Cui An dragged his tone and said, "The previous assassinations all ended in failure, and our people have been severely damaged. If King Jing marries the daughter of the Yu family again and gets involved in the military power, the situation will definitely be very unfavorable to your empress and your highness." .”

The empress stared blankly, and asked without answering, "Cui An, what are you trying to do with all your heart and soul for my palace and the deposed prince?"

Cui An suppressed the darkness in his eyes, knelt down and said, "Naturally, I am grateful for your mother's great virtue, and I will repay you with a grass ring."

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you coax others, you can't fool me."

The queen pulled out the gold hairpin and picked the candlelight in front of the altar, and said after a while: "I remember, Xue Song was demoted to Guanglu Temple?"

Cui An thought for a moment, then hurriedly said, "I'll go down and make arrangements."

"King Jing is cunning, the bait given must be big enough to lure him into the bait."

The queen inserted the gold hairpin back into her bun, her voice was so calm that it seemed that she was not fighting to the death, "Go. If you fail again, you don't have to come to Ben Gong."

This time, she wants to kill this little beast with her own hands.

Just like back then, killing his mother.

…

Because it was New Year's Eve, these few days, Yu Lingxi stayed in the Yu Mansion obediently, accompanying her parents, brothers and sisters.

Sister-in-law Su Wan is two months pregnant, and with the joy of having a baby, the New Year's Eve in the mansion is more lively than ever.

The lights in the court were bright like daylight, and the sky was full of fireworks. Yu Lingxi couldn't help but think of this time last year, when Ning Yin was drinking the spicy Tusu wine and said with red lips, "Miss is the best in this world. "human" appearance...

The corner of his mouth could not help but raise a slight smile, wondering how Ning Yin will celebrate the New Year in Prince Jing's Mansion this year.

Probably not even a pair of couplets, a lively red lantern. In such a huge mansion, he always lives alone in the tomb.

Thinking about it, the smile on the corner of Yu Lingxi's mouth faded again, and she raised her hand to touch the blood-streaked Ruiyun white jade hairpin on her bun, turning into a soft sigh.

After the New Year's Eve, Yu Lingxi took a shower and changed clothes, yawned and walked to the dormitory.

The curtains in the inner room had been lowered, and the maids had arranged the bedding on the bed in advance. Yu Lingxi opened the curtains and sat down without thinking too much.

But he sat in a hot and hard embrace, and couldn't help being frightened so that three souls lost two souls.

Before the scream could be heard, someone covered his mouth from behind.

Ning Yin held her tightly in his arms, and a laughing voice came from the outside of his ear: "Shut up, I am not responsible for attracting people here."

Yu Lingxi was astonished, and it took him a while to relax, pulled his palm and turned around, "Why are you here?"

"Going to raid the house, passing by here and revisiting the old place, I remembered Lingxi."

Ning Yin touched Yu Lingxi's face lightly, with the lingering frost in her black eyes, she smiled softly, "So come and see."

Going to ransack the house during Chinese New Year?

He is clearly the hottest His Royal Highness King Jing, how can he live in a more lonely and desolate life than the previous Wei Qi?

Yu Lingxi opened her mouth, and said a thousand words, but in the end it was only one sentence: "Have you ever laid down money?"

Ning Yin raised the tails of her eyes slightly, as if asking "What is that?"

Yu Lingxi lowered her head, took out two copper coins from the purse she just got, wrapped them in red paper, and stuffed them into Ning Yin's hands.

"Don't worry about the lack of money, it's just auspicious left and right, you are not short of money."

Yu Lingxi explained, "It's a money press, put it under the pillow when you sleep, and it will keep you safe and sound throughout the year."

The curtain was dim, and Ning Yin showed a rare novelty, fiddling with the two copper coins wrapped in red paper in his palm and said, "What's the matter?"

Yu Lingxi found a comfortable position, leaned side by side with him, and replied in a low voice, "Of course it's to suppress evil spirits."

Ning Yin laughed: "Isn't this king the biggest evil spirit in this world?"

Yu Lingxi blinked.

There seems to be nothing wrong with this statement?

"In my king's opinion, it might as well be 'New Year's Eve'."

Ning Yinxu held the five fingers, held the two copper coins in the palm, and stepped forward to lower his voice, "year old."

After all, he wrapped his arms around Yu Lingxi's waist and imprisoned her from top to bottom.

A veritable "New Year's Eve".

When turning over, the robe brought a gust of wind, lifted the curtain like waves, and the outline of Ning Yin's eyebrows became particularly blurred and deep, only a pair of lacquered eyes possessed a soul-stirring bewitchment.

It's strange that Yu Lingxi finds Ning Yin's eyes bewitching.

It is obvious that he is a person who lacks five senses, and his concentration is so strong that he is almost masochistic.

"Miss, Miss Tang is ready, you wait until the bedding is warm before going to sleep."

Hu Tao entered the house with a copper soup pot wrapped in silk cloth, and said crisply.

Yu Lingxi was startled, subconsciously lifted the cover of the quilt, pushed Ning Yin into the couch to hide, and said, "Put it on the table!"

The voice was a little anxious, and Hu Tao was taken aback: "Miss?"

Ning Yin narrowed her eyes, raised her hand and pinched her waist.

Yu Lingxi said "uh", her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

She bit her lip and stared at the instigator, and made up a random saying: "I'm taking off my clothes, don't come here."

Fortunately, Hu Tao didn't become suspicious, put the warm soup on the table, closed the door and left.

Yu Lingxi pricked up her ears, and did not let out a long sigh of relief until the sound of Hu Tao's footsteps went away for a while.

"Didn't you take off your clothes? Take off."

Ning Yin bent his elbows sideways, supported his head with his hand, lowered his other hand under the quilt, licked the tip of his teeth and smiled, "I want to stamp it."

…

The excitement of the fireworks did not stop until almost dawn.

Yu Lingxi didn't know when Ning Yin left, and when she woke up, there was no warmth from that person beside her.

If it wasn't for a crimson "seal" that was not visible to others, she would almost have thought that the short meeting last night was a dream.

Waking up from the dream is empty, but it is like tasting a piece of candy, with a lingering aftertaste.

Fortunately, it will be the Lantern Festival soon, with lantern festivals and night tours, and officials and people having fun together.

At Xu time that night, the emperor will lead the kings and grandsons to the Xuande Gate, watch the high table lamp market, and accept the worship of all people.

But because the emperor was still recovering from his illness in Changyang Palace, the seventh prince, Ning Yin, was elected to do it for him when he climbed the tower this time.

It stands to reason that Ning Yin has no interest in such occasions, and should not show up.

But everyone is guessing that the person who is qualified to salute in place of the emperor is very likely to become the heir to the throne. Even if the seventh prince is a bit ambitious, it is impossible for him to refuse this honor.

So, does Ning Yin want to be the prince?

Yu Lingxi didn't know.

In the time of Xu, Yu Lingxi, wearing a dress with red makeup and carrying a glazed lantern, and Yu Xinyi climbed to the west side of the Xuande Gate on the balcony where the concubines and female relatives of the harem watched the lanterns.

Ning Yin and Ning Zizhuo and other princes and grandchildren stood on the east side of the tower instead of the emperor.

Looking as far as the eye can see, the night sky is deep, the voices of people are buzzing under the palace gate, and thousands of lanterns turn into rivers of light.

Yu Lingxi rested her hands on the railing of the palace building, watching Ning Yin who was walking slowly upstairs to the east from a distance, in a purple robe and jade belt, cold and handsome.

The corner of her mouth couldn't help but rise, but she saw Yu Xinyi on the side stepping forward, stretched out her hand to interrupt her gaze and said, "Do you want Sister to borrow your token and go find him?"

Only then did Yu Lingxi look away, and smiled embarrassedly: "No need."

She made an appointment with Ning Yin to go to the market place to enjoy lanterns and guess riddles after the Lantern Festival was over.

Shangyuan tonight is not bound by etiquette, so you can enjoy lanterns all night long.

When the wind blows, the lanterns all over the street shake like stars scattered in the world.

Standing in the crowd, Xue Cen saw Yu Lingxi on the palace tower at a glance.

There are so many gorgeously dressed noble ladies and wives, but Yu Lingxi is as beautiful as a lotus emerging from water, with a little bright red flower tinkle blooming on her forehead, which is overshadowed by the lights all over the building.

Her eyes were still beautiful and gentle, but she never looked at her again.

Xue Cen came here with his elder brother.

The deposed prince died, and the grandfather also resigned and returned home. The marriage with the Yu family fell through and became the laughing stock of the whole capital. The Xue family fell into an unprecedented decline.

Occasionally, Xue Cen would stay up all night, and would hear the sound of his elder brother rushing out in the middle of the night.

In the entire Xue Mansion, the only one not affected by the suppression seems to be Xue Song.

Gradually, Xue Cen became suspicious.

The deposed prince supported by the Xue family is dead, and he doesn't know who his elder brother is still working hard for... Or, the one he secretly serves is not the deposed prince at all?

Suspicious in his heart, Xue Cen followed his elder brother's carriage to the gate of the palace.

Lost, he saw Yu Lingxi smiling sweetly on the palace tower.

Like a moth to a flame, it hurts in my heart, but I can't help being attracted.

Officials from Guanglu Temple and the Ministry of Rites led a group of jugglers and vendors upstairs. The crowd crowded, and Xue Cen was knocked back by a child behind him. When he raised his head again, there was no sign of Yu Lingxi upstairs. .

His reddish eyes dimmed, and he walked back alone against the crowd.

The flames shot straight up to a height of more than three feet, causing the female relatives in the west building to cheer and cheer.

It is the folk juggling troupe selected by the Ministry of Rites to perform for Ning Yin, implying "having fun with the people".

The wind was strong on the palace wall, and Yu Lingxi was not interested in acrobatics, so she changed to a place sheltered from the wind and stayed, just thinking that the lantern burning would end soon, so that she and Ning Yin could go on a night tour in the market.

"Wow! This fire shoots so high!"

A 14-year-old girl held the woman's arm and said happily, "Sister, look! It's almost sprayed on the face of His Royal Highness King Jing!"

"Hush! How can you shout about the name of His Royal Highness King Jing?"

The woman obviously had a lot of scruples, and explained in a low voice, "This juggling troupe is from Mobei. They are good at singing and dancing, and they are familiar with all kinds of operas. Naturally, they are not comparable to the Han people."

Hearing the word "Mobei", Yu Lingxi, who was drinking to warm up, paused.

She got up, heard the sound and found the woman, gave a blessing and said: "The madam just said, where is this juggling troupe who are performing arts from?"

The woman must be the wife of an official's family, and immediately returned a salute, and replied: "They are from Mobei. The slaves also heard from my husband that they were all slaves captured by the first emperor after destroying Mobei. They are very famous in Beijing. .”

Yu Lingxi leaned on the railing and gazed into the distance, and the man who was blowing fire in the direction of Ning Yin became more and more familiar to him.

People from Mobei, Shangyuan Festival, Hongmen Banquet...

The heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and the glazed lamp in Yu Lingxi's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, breaking into pieces.

She took a step back, turned and left.

One year ahead!

If you guessed right, because the Yu family was not destroyed in this life, the remnants of the queen were afraid of Ning Yin's forces, and the **** Hongmen banquet carefully prepared by the eunuchs was a whole year earlier than the memory of the previous life!

Even the regent king who shocked the world in his previous life was seriously injured in this assassination, and he used burning people as lamps to vent his anger afterwards, let alone...

The current Ning Yin is not the regent yet!

"Sister!"

Yu Lingxi grabbed Yu Xinyi who was arranging the Baiqisi patrol, and said with a trembling voice, "Lend me the token!"

"What's the matter, Sui Sui?"

Yu Xinyi was confused, "What's wrong with your face..."

"The juggling team performing the show is the Mobei Assassins, and the queen has a lantern banquet, and the eunuchs join hands with the eunuchs to assassinate King Jing. Sister, hurry up and tell your brother to save people!"

Before he had time to explain more, Ning Yin Yu Lingxi untied the token from Yu Xinyi's waist, pushed through the crowd and ran desperately towards the main hall of the East Building.

It wasn't until the younger sister's figure disappeared into the crowd that Yu Xinyi realized it. He summoned his subordinates and said, "There is a problem with the sideshow team, report it to the Imperial Army!"

boom-

A lantern tower more than three feet high rose from the ground, the city gate was as bright as day, and the people cheered like a sea.

A crowd of people came, drowning Yu Lingxi's shouts.

"The east side of the palace wall is the residence of the princes and grandchildren. The female relatives are not allowed to trespass!"

The imperial army crossed their halberds and stopped Yu Lingxi who was running out of breath.

"I am ordered by Yu Sishi to report something important to King Jing!"

Yu Lingxi took out Sister's badge.

The imperial army was still blocking the intersection, Yu Lingxi simply tore off the dragon-patterned jade pendant from her waist, "Whoever sees this jade is like King Jing coming in person, who dares to stop him!"

The dragon-patterned jade pendant is exclusive to the prince, and the imperial guards were indeed bluffed.

Yu Lingxi didn't delay anymore, and took advantage of the hesitation of the imperial guards and walked towards the banquet where the lanterns were being watched.

The door of the upstairs hall was opened wide, and everyone at the banquet was a little surprised to see a panting beauty in red makeup rushing in.

"Isn't this Miss Yu Er?"

"What is she here for?"

Ning Yin put down the cup in his hand, and with a very soft sound, the subtle discussions around him stopped abruptly.

Yu Lingxi's eyes met Ning Yin's, she collected herself, stepped past the group of jugglers, and walked towards Ning Yin.

"His Royal Highness's jade pendant has fallen, and the servant girl sent it to His Highness."

Yu Lingxi tried her best to hold her breath, knelt down in front of Ning Yin, and handed over the jade pendant with both hands.

She glanced in the direction of the jugglers and some of the ministers, and her anxiety was completely silent.

Sensing that the atmosphere was not right, Ning Yin's eyes narrowed slowly.

He looked as usual, even with an elegant smile, whispered: "You shouldn't come, Sui Sui."

Then he grabbed Yu Lingxi's wrist with one hand and pulled it into his arms, and raised the empty cup to cover it with the other!

Almost at the same time, a slender dagger pierced the bottom of the cup, and the cold light illuminated Ning Yin's dark eyes.

There was a loud noise, and the gears on the lamp building began to rotate.

Sparks splashed everywhere, like gold and silver debris dotted the night sky, a scene of fiery trees and silver flowers, and the cheers of the people came like waves, covering the movement above the temple.

The matter was urgent, and there were not many people Yu Huanchen could mobilize, so he was soon stopped by Cui An's men under the tower.

The two armies confront each other, and no one dares to act rashly.

"Admiral Cui really brought out his old books this time."

Yu Huanchen held the blade at his waist, and wore a silver armored white robe that fluttered in the wind, "I have become suspicious since you repeatedly targeted the Yu family. Are you colluding with Mobei?"

Hearing this, Cui An said slowly: "It's a pity that it wasn't General Yu who came. But it doesn't matter, the same goes for father's debt repayment."

"What's the meaning?"

Yu Huanchen frowned, and tapped his finger on the handle of the knife indistinctly.

Yu Xinyi, who was hiding in the dark, immediately understood and hid in the crowd.

"General Yu has met Ben Du many times, but each time, he never remembered who I am."

Cui An smiled darkly, "He seems to have forgotten those aliens killed by him, and that trembling little boy among the Mobei captives who were chained by straw ropes and staggered into the capital with bare feet."
