The bedroom of King Jing's Mansion.

The person on the bed had his eyes closed, and his skin was pale without a trace of blood. The pulse condition was weak and weak, the young imperial physician calmly withdrew his hand, wrote a prescription to strengthen the foundation and cultivate the yuan, and then bowed and retreated.

As soon as the imperial physician came out of the main hall, the "dying" person on the sickbed opened his eyes, and his eyes were cold.

Ning Yin spat out the pill under her tongue, bent her legs and stood up, "Follow him."

The imperial doctor did not go back to the imperial hospital, but went around a circle and went to a guest house.

When I was young, a pigeon flew out from the backyard of the guest house and headed southeast.

The gray falcon on the ridge tilted its head and followed closely.

Two hours later, in front of the prison of the Criminal Department of Prince Jing's Mansion.

Ning Yin dressed in black and black fox Qiu Jingli got down from the sedan chair, and the gray falcon circled in the air and landed obediently on his strong arm.

Going down the secluded stone steps until you reach the innermost layer, a dark and decaying atmosphere blows over your face.

"I really didn't expect that it was His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince who could make it this far."

Cui An was tied to an iron frame with iron chains, bleeding from his mouth and nose, but he still grinned softly, "If it weren't for your Ning family and I having the hatred of exterminating the clan, Your Highness and I might become the same kind who have a good time talking."

Ning Yin crossed her legs and sat down on the chair, straightened her sleeves and said, "It was you who drew Ning Tan's attention to Yu Lingxi and targeted her over and over again."

His voice was low, with a firm tone.

"Who told her to be Yu Yuan's daughter."

Cui An chuckled, "Yu Xinyi, Yu Lingxi...they should experience being abused and humiliated like my captive clansmen."

If it wasn't for the Yu family's amazing luck, his plan would have come true long ago.

Cui An dared to admit it openly because he knew that Ning Yin would not kill him.

He holds too many Queen's secrets in his hands. If Ning Yin wants to completely remove obstacles, he must obtain his statement and let him be a witness.

"Are you thinking that as long as you don't confess for a day, this king will not be able to kill you for a day."

Ning Yin's contemptuous voice came, "Unfortunately, I only care about what I like, not reason."

Cui An's thoughts were guessed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth froze.

"What are you nervous about?"

Ning Yin supported her temples with her knuckles, her handsome face was indistinguishable, "It would be too cheap for you to die like this after touching the person on my king's heart."

He raised his finger, and immediately a subordinate brought a stack of thin silver gauze.

Cui An had dealt with so many people, so he naturally knew what a powerful instrument of torture this seemingly exquisite gauze was.

The silver gauze only needs to be hooped around the human body, and the meat will bulge out from the fine silver gauze like fish scales, and then the bulging flesh can be cut off piece by piece with a sharp knife...

"Three days, one thousand dollars, I will play with you slowly."

Speaking of this, Ning Yin paused slightly, and said with a smile: "I almost forgot, Admiral Cui is short of two or two taels of meat, so it doesn't cost a thousand knives."

Cui An's calm and gentle face finally cracked, revealing the insidiousness and viciousness that should have been.

He laughed loudly, and said sharply: "Okay, okay...His Highness's saber must be stable enough..."

But soon, he couldn't speak anymore.

Ning Yin came out of the dungeon, sat in the sedan chair, took the wet handkerchief handed over by the attendant and wiped off her fingers bit by bit.

He changed seven or eight handkerchiefs until his fair and slender fingers turned red from being wiped, then he opened the small cover of the beast stove to let the cool woody fragrance wash away the **** smell on his body.

Clean water is not enough to wash away the dirt on your hands, so you have to change it to something softer and cleaner.

Ning Yin twisted her fingers, put down the black jade carving in her palm, and said leisurely, "Go to Yu Mansion."

…

After returning home for two or three days, Yu Lingxi would often go to the backyard to sit for a while.

The setting sun by the window is faint, and the place still retains the state when Wei Qi left. It seems that his breath still remains on the tables and chairs.

Just as he was lost in thought, he suddenly saw a remaining maple leaf falling with the wind and landed on the table by the window.

Yu Lingxi picked up the maple leaves. The leaves were like fire. After a severe winter of frost, cold, rain and snow, they were still warm and bright red.

She twirled the maple leaf, then raised a pen to moisten the ink, and wrote two lines of small characters on the maple leaf:

May I be like a star king like a moon, with bright and clean night and night streams. ①

After finishing writing and drying, she let out a soft cry, unable to help but guess what Ning Yin would be doing at this time.

"A Guan said that you didn't even drink the paprika plum wine, so you just hid here alone and lost your mind."

Yu Huanchen's voice came from behind him. He sat cross-legged across from Yu Lingxi, looked at his sister for a while, "Are you still thinking about what your father said?"

Yu Lingxi pressed the maple leaf under the paperweight, calmed down and said, "Brother, why doesn't Dad like Ning Yin?"

This was a problem she had never faced in her previous life.

She was alone in her previous life with no worries and no worries, so she just followed Ning Yin, without having to consider any secular ties or status interests.

But on the carriage back from Prince Jing's Mansion that day, Father didn't say a word.

Yu Lingxi has been loved so much since she was a child, and Yu Yuan would subconsciously lower her voice when speaking with her. She had never seen her father so serious and silent.

Yu Huanchen pondered for a moment, and only asked, "Does Sui Sui know how King Jing dealt with the assassins and courtiers who participated in the lantern festival that night?"

Of course Yu Lingxi knew, she remembered the pictures from her previous life.

Yu Huanchen said: "Some of those people were participants, and some were just people who were coerced and implicated, but without exception, they were all hung on wooden stakes under the palace gate and lit sky lanterns."

"It was those people who wanted to kill him first."

Yu Lingxi explained, "Others want to put him to death, and we outsiders have no right to ask him to repay evil with kindness."

"Indeed, from the perspective of a superior, I have to praise King Jing for saying 'kill and decisive', but from the perspective of looking at my brother-in-law, he is too dangerous."

Yu Huanchen paused, and then said, "Of course, this is not our main concern."

He got up and closed the door and window.

"Let's say a few outrageous words behind closed doors. King Jing is only one step away from the throne when he is in this position. Even if he doesn't want to be emperor himself, his position and his followers will recommend him for the benefit of the future. enthroned."

Yu Huanchen sighed, looked at his sister and said seriously, "Wuqing is the most emperor. By that time, there will be seventy-two concubines in the Six Courts of the Three Palaces, and behind each woman will be an intricate family. How can you be wronged every year? How proud?" Can you really allow yourself to share a man with another woman?"

He said: "It's not that my father doesn't like him, but there are many things that must be weighed—whether from the perspective of the father or the position of the courtier."

The elder brother's calm analysis was like throwing a stone into the sea, splashing fine water in Yu Lingxi's heart.

That's right, Ning Yin never had a broken leg in this life, he was healthy and healthy, and his humble background could no longer stop him from moving forward.

Does he want to be emperor?

Yu Lingxi was not sure.

The only thing she was sure of was her own and Ning Yin's intentions.

"Brother, although in your eyes, Wei Qi and I have only known each other for just over a year. But it did take me a long, long time to understand one thing."

Yu Lingxi rolled her eyes and said softly, "In my heart, I can only pretend to be Ning Yin. If that's the case, why should I be timid because of something that didn't happen? Is it because a person is afraid of falling that he is not allowed to fall?" Are you walking?"

"Sui Sui..."

"I believe in him, just like I believe that my brother and father will never hurt me."

It was obviously a soft word with a smile on it, but inexplicably gave birth to a resounding firmness.

"Miss, be quiet..."

Hu Tao trotted over, held the door frame and "quiet" for a long time before saying in a breath, "His Royal Highness Jing is here!"

Yu Lingxi was taken aback for a moment, ignoring Yu Huanchen, quickly got up and ran out with her skirt up.

The setting sun at the end of winter is light white and a bit cold.

Yu Lingxi's sleeved gown filled the wind, and the cloak fluttered like smoke, passing through the lanterns arranged on the Lantern Festival under the corridor, and ran straight to the main hall where the guests were received.

As expected, Ning Yin was sitting on the main seat, and when she heard the sound of footsteps, she looked at her with dark eyes.

The line of his lips moved almost imperceptibly, and he waved to her as if no one else was there.

Yu Lingxi panted slightly, and walked towards him.

"Ahem!" There were two sudden low coughs in the hall.

Yu Lingxi caught a glimpse of Father's resolute black face, quickly restrained herself, and saluted politely: "Your Highness."

It's just that those eyes are still bright, revealing a clear light, without the slightest bit of coyness.

"come over."

In front of Yu Yuan and Yu Xinyi, Ning Yin raised her hand and pinched Yu Lingxi's cheek, as if she was weighing how much flesh she had gained in the past two days when she returned home.

If you're a little thinner, how do the members of the Yu family take care of you?

Ning Yin's eyes narrowed.

Seeing her father's expression getting more and more complicated, Yu Lingxi had no choice but to pull Ning Yin's hand off, and whispered, "Why are you here?"

"This king is here to take Sui Sui back to the mansion."

Ning Yin lowered his hands in dissatisfaction, put them on his knees and tapped, "Since he's here, I won't bother General Yu."

Yu Yuan had probably never seen a person who would take away his own jewel in the palm, and he spoke so grandly that his neck got thick for a moment.

This person has completely different faces from when he was Wei Qi.

It was Yu Xinyi who came to his senses and said bluntly: "Every year I stay in my boudoir, and I'm not married yet, how can I stay in His Highness's mansion?"

Ning Yin said softly "Oh": "This king will hire you now."

Yu Lingxi pursed her lips, and signaled Ning Yin with her eyes: What are you going to do, where did you get the dowry?

"General Yu is upright, he doesn't like the gold, silver and jewelry that the king gave, so let's change it to a more interesting dowry gift."

He raised his finger, and immediately a servant came across a tray with a bunch of curly hair cut off at the root.

"This is?"

Yu Xinyi recognized it with just one glance, "Did Your Highness catch Cui An?"

"Are you satisfied with this dowry?" Ning Yin asked.

Ning Yin came prepared, and Yu Yuan set his sights on his own daughter.

Those eyes were heavy, but infinitely concerned.

Yu Lingxi thought for a while, and finally took a step back and knelt down towards Yu Yuan.

For a moment, everyone in the room looked different.

Ning Yin's eyes were a little cool.

Even when he was angry, he only dared to punish Suisui with his mouth.

No one can punish her to kneel down, even if that person is her father.

Ning Yin got up, bent down to support Yu Lingxi's shoulder, her black eyes were dark, but her voice was extremely soft: "Sui Sui will get up by himself, or this king will let everyone kneel down with you."

Yu Lingxi blinked her eyelashes, and held Ning Yin's knuckles soothingly.

"Daddy."

She looked at her father who loved her more than she was strong, and confessed her whole heart, "Father, His Royal Highness King Jing is the sweetheart that my daughter has identified. I will not abandon your kindness of nurturing for him. But, please also Father allowed me to choose the person I really like like an ordinary woman."

The hall was silent.

Yu Lingxi exhaled slightly, smiled and said, "Now, I want to be alone with my sweetheart for a while, please allow me."

After finishing speaking, she raised her hands and bowed, then got up, took Ning Yin's hand and walked out.

The slanting light stretches like a golden yarn paving the ground.

Yu Huanchen came from the corridor and shook his head at his heavy-eyed father.

Yu Lingxi's light-colored skirt and Ning Yin's sandalwood robe were intertwined. If the uncertainties of the future were not taken into account, the pair of young people in front of them would really be a very beautiful picture.

Yu Lingxi took Ning Yin to the backyard.

Stepping into the cover room again, Ning Yin, who was wearing a sandalwood brocade robe, faded away from her youthful innocence, and on the contrary showed a kind of incompatible nobleness.

"What excuse is Sui Sui thinking of to delay returning to the palace?"

Ning Yin sat obediently across the table, reaching out her hand to wipe off the dust on Yu Lingxi's skirt when she knelt down just now.

Yu Lingxi couldn't tell whether his voice was angry or not, so she could only explain with a smile: "Father has his worries, and he is afraid that I will be wronged if I marry into the royal family. What we have to do is to dispel his worries with practical actions." .”

Ning Yin raised his hand against his chin and asked, "Isn't it enough to dispel his worries by cooking raw rice and cooked rice?"

As soon as this matter was mentioned, Yu Lingxi's heart burned.

After finally taking care of his body, there were faint traces of soreness.

"Ordinary lovers will only allow their parents to get married after falling in love, and their parents feel at ease."

Yu Lingxi's eyes sparkled, and she said softly, "I haven't had a serious love affair with Your Highness yet."

This is the truth of two lifetimes.

Ning Yin smiled, but looked at her quietly, her profile was covered with a little light from the window paper, her beauty was flawless.

However, what he said the next moment was not good at all!

Ning Yin was serious, with lingering gazes: "I loved you so deeply the night before, doesn't that count?"

"..." Yu Lingxi gave him an annoyed look.

She tried her best to bring the topic back to the right track, took out the maple leaf with the lovesickness sentence written under the paperweight, and pushed it in front of Ning Yin.

Ning Yin picked it up, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "A leaf?"

Then he saw the small characters on the maple leaf, and his eyes paused slightly.

"May I be like the star king like the moon, and the night and night flow bright and clean."

Seeing Ning Yin staring at it for a long time, Yu Lingxi couldn't help softening her eyes, "Yiye sends lovesickness to Wei Qi, this is love."

Wei Qi...

Ning Yin hadn't heard of this title for a while, and she missed it a lot.

He carefully put the maple leaf aside, with the handwriting facing up, and looked at it for a long time, then Fang smiled slowly: "Come here, my king will give you a song for Sui Sui in return."

Seeing his gentle smile, Yu Lingxi felt that something was wrong.

"No paper." She hesitated.

"It's okay, there is the best clean skin white Xuan in front of you."

While speaking, Ning Yin grabbed Yu Lingxi's waist with both hands, and easily lifted her to sit on the desk.

"what are you doing…"

Yu Lingxi subconsciously wanted to get up, but Ning Yin pressed one hand on her shoulder, and touched her corset with the other hand. After pulling and pulling, the coat and middle coat retreated to the crook of her arms, revealing her apricot pink heart coat and a piece of White and delicate waist and back.

Yu Lingxi shuddered subconsciously, but she saw Ning Yin leaning forward and leaning forward. The fine-textured material rubbed against her back, causing a slight shiver.

"do not move."

Ning Yin pinched her waist in a semi-circular posture, and whispered in her ear.

He slowly picked up the pen and dipped in the ink, and wrote on the white waist.
