Bei Chenling's voice was very low, but it was enough for Lin Aoxue to hear clearly.

Lin Aoxue could hardly believe her ears, and when she understood the meaning of Bei Chenling's words, she was suddenly stunned, her teeth were clenched, and there seemed to be a gust of wind whistling in her head, which made her dazed and her mind turbulent.

She grabbed the corner of her clothes subconsciously and lost her words in a daze.

Bei Chenling has been watching Lin Aoxue carefully since the moment she said these words. At this moment, seeing Lin Aoxue's pupils shrink and her face showing panic, she has already concluded that Lin Aoxue is related to the government of the town. As for Lin Aoxue's specific identity, she There are already vague guesses, both sour and helpless.

Lin Aoxue was silent for a long time, and Bei Chenling didn't make a sound to urge her. Her eyes were always gentle, as if she was thinking about something, calm and warm.

That person's name was a knot in her heart, an obsession, and a thought she hadn't really let go of for more than ten years.

When she realized that Lin Aoxue's appearance was somewhat similar to the person in her memory, she had doubts, otherwise, just based on the similarity in appearance, she would not put down her body in front of Lin Aoxue to approach him. If it was a coincidence, In front of her eyes, she couldn't make a decision yet, and two coincidences also made her hesitate. Then, when Sui Ming said that Ning Muxue was still alive, she had already made up her mind.

She didn't know what it was like in her heart. There were both the surprise of being lost and found, and the confusion and desolation of the old scene no longer.

Even if this person is right in front of them, they have long since lost the connection they had when they were young. The vigilance and caution in that person's eyes were like the sharpest knife, cutting into her heart.

Lin Aoxue's shoulders fell, helpless.

"Sorry, I haven't confessed to you."

Lin Aoxue opened her mouth, and only this sentence came out of her dry throat. She admitted her identity and acquiesced to Bei Chenling's guess. She knew that this time, she could not escape no matter what. This is the situation she has to face. Time is rushing, and old friends meet again, but there is no expected joy, only endless sourness.

None of them can be truly free and easy.

Bei Chenling grasped the thin blanket on his knees tightly, but suppressed the sudden clamorous thoughts and joy in his heart, and turned to stare into Lin Aoxue's eyes.

Until this time, she could take a serious look at Lin Aoxue, and the latter did not avoid her eyes like before. Their eyes met, and one could not see the end like an abyss, which had been hidden for more than ten years. After all the hardships and sorrows, he grew into a completely different appearance from the memory of another person.

The other is warm and soft, less childish and joyful when she was young, and more calm and indifferent. She has a noble status and a graceful demeanor. They are no longer the closest friends, and time is separated by their feet. There is a long river, Bei Chenling knows that even if there is no cloud and smoke between them, they cannot be as frivolous as before.

After an unknown amount of time, Bei Chenling suddenly pursed her lips and smiled. She looked at Lin Aoxue with a slight brow and asked in a low voice:

"If there were no clouds, would you be willing to marry me today?"

She knew that this question was naive and unreasonable, but she couldn't help but ask it out, so she ended her wish that she should have done more than ten years ago.

Feelings never come first, even if they used to be together day and night.

In fact, even she herself couldn't tell whether this feeling was more obsession or more guilt.

She just wanted to see this person again.

Lin Aoxue did not avoid Bei Chenling's gaze, her gaze was steady and desolate, and an unspeakable sore pain scorched her heart, causing her to have a lot of words on her lips, but she couldn't say it.

She should comfort Bei Chenling gently, but there is no if in this world. Besides, there are many ways in life, giving people unfulfilled expectations. It is not gentleness, but the most cruel and unruly behavior. She hoped that Bei Chenling would not live in guilt and the past, they should all step forward and find the true meaning of life.

"Ling'er, I'm not your sweetheart."

Their misses had nothing to do with Yunyan. Lin Aoxue only regarded Bei Chenling as her younger sister from the beginning to the end. She took ten thousand steps back and said that even without the sudden catastrophe, the future would be unpredictable, and none of them knew what would happen next. What have you experienced, not to mention, accidents may come unexpectedly at any time for more than ten years.

Bei Chenling lowered her eyes and smiled lightly. She had known for a long time that this person would never change what he believed since he was a child, but what Yunyan paid for her was worth it.

"I've been waiting for you for fourteen years, Ling'er."

She raised her eyes, and Lin Aoxue's silent face was reflected in her bright eyes. When Lin Aoxue was at a loss and didn't know what to answer, she smiled and said understandingly:

"I won't embarrass you anymore. I'll stop here tonight. Tomorrow I'll go and make it clear to the prince. Don't worry."

Lin Aoxue suddenly felt very sour in her heart. She couldn't describe this feeling. She only felt in a trance that she might not know what she owed Bei Chenling in her entire life. She clearly thought that it was Bei Chenling who had betrayed her trust, but now she sees it again, but she finds out that she is the one who betrayed her.

She lowered her gaze, bowed to Bei Chenling and saluted to leave, but when she turned to leave, she heard Bei Chenling's voice coming from behind her:

"If there are no outsiders in the future, you can be more casual and avoid these etiquettes. In addition, if you come tomorrow, I will take you to meet someone."

Lin Aoxue paused in her footsteps, then turned around without salute.

She glanced at Beichenling from a distance, and when she saw that the latter had picked up the book again, she replied:

"Okay."

Walking out of the palace, Lin Aoxue glanced at the gray moon in the sky, and felt that her mood was also gray. She sighed softly, shook her head, and walked back to the general's mansion with a desolate expression.

The housekeeper took the cloak from Lin Aoxue's hand, without asking why Lin Aoxue came back so late.

Early the next morning, the **** in the palace came to the general's mansion before dawn. Lin Aoxue packed up, put on the general's uniform, and followed the **** into the capital without many people.

The last time the palace and Lin Aoxue came, they didn't change much. The New Year was over, and even the bright red ornaments were all removed. It was still early, but there were already many officials from the court in the palace. Lin Aoxue followed behind the eunuch, passed through the layers of palace gates, and waited outside the court for a while. When the emperor declared Lin Aoxue to court, she calmly and calmly spoke. Step into the hall.

Everyone in the court looked at her. Lin Aoxue did not change her face. She was used to taking off her mask and showing her true face. However, in order to avoid scaring the emperor when she went to court, she still found half a mask and put it on her face. superior.

The emperor also knew her habit of wearing a mask, and this time he did not let her take it off again.

Lin Aoxue walked into the court this time, and her eyes swept over the face of the first person. She felt that this time the emperor's complexion seemed even more decadent, and she seemed to have no spirit. Soon her eyes fell, and when Before the steps, he looked respectful and bowed to the emperor in a proper manner.

The process of debriefing was no different from the previous one. It was also the emperor who asked what Lin Aoxue answered. Her knowledge of the Northern Territory was no longer limited to the perspective of a thousand households. There were many things she could tell. Still reported to the emperor the time for a whole cup of tea.

The emperor nodded frequently on the throne. After Lin Aoxue finished speaking, he asked a few more questions. Lin Aoxue answered them one by one. The emperor's face showed an indescribable tiredness. He rewarded Lin Aoxue with some wealth. Then he waved to the **** beside him, the **** sang that the morning was over, and Lin Aoxue left the hall with the ministers of the next court.

Lin Aoxue came out of the palace and planned to go back to her residence to think about how to face Bei Chenhe. If Bei Chenling didn't convince him, then what should she do today.

However, before she could take two more steps to think clearly about this question, Bei Chenhe's voice rang from behind her, and Lin Aoxue sighed, feeling heavy and helpless.

Seeing Lin Aoxue's expression, Bei Chenhe knew that she didn't understand yesterday's problem. He glanced at Lin Aoxue with a slanted glance, and said with a calm expression:

"Follow this king to the palace."

Lin Aoxue nodded respectfully, not disobeying Bei Chenhe's arrangement.

Lin Aoxue followed Bei Chenhe to his study again, but Bei Chenhe did not ask Lin Aoxue anything, but sat in front of the desk and sorted out the documents on the table. Soon after, Bei Chenling also came.

Bei Chenhe put down the things in his hand, looked up at Beichen Ling, and said:

"I brought General Lin for my father."

A look of surprise flashed in Lin Aoxue's eyes, thinking that Bei Chenhe called her over so early because of Bei Chenling.

She also raised her head to look at Bei Chenling, but the latter's demeanor was calm, and her emotions could not be seen from her face. Lin Aoxue had to admit that Bei Chenling and Yunyan were very similar to their father in this respect.

"Ling'er heard that the father wants to give his daughter to General Lin."

Hearing this, Bei Chenhe was a little surprised, and immediately glanced at Lin Aoxue calmly, thinking that the guards in the palace came to report that Lin Aoxue had gone to Bei Chenling's residence last night, he had a bottom line in his heart, and there was an inexplicable meaning in his eyes. Beichenling said:

"Yes, I do have this plan for my father. You've been self-willed for so many years, and it's almost time to take it easy. General Lin is young and promising, and he has never been married, and you both know each other before. General Lin was injured trying to save you. "My father thought that General Lin could be your good match, why, Ling'er's arrangement as a father, is there any dissatisfaction?"

Bei Chenling's brows and eyes drooped slightly. Although his attitude was respectful, he tried to reason with his words:

"Ling'er naturally won't be dissatisfied with the arrangement of the father, but the father has promised Ling'er that Ling'er's future husband must be chosen by Ling'er."

Bei Chenhe frowned when he heard this, he did agree to Bei Chenling's request, but Bei Chenling is not too young now, and it would be inappropriate to let her go on like this. He finally took a fancy to a young talent, but not only was Lin Aoxue reluctant to marry, but Bei Chenling was also reluctant to marry, it seemed that he was the matchmaker who was not right inside or outside.

"My father did say that you can choose your own husband, but now that you are twenty-five, what kind of formality will you be?! You don't want to marry General Lin, but you must choose one within a year. Your favorite candidate!"

Bei Chenhe made up his mind to marry Bei Chen Ling. He originally thought that if he married Bei Chen Ling to Lin Aoxue, even if Lin Aoxue was completely tied up, he would also allow Bei Chen Ling to have a home, but seeing what Lin Aoxue did yesterday She seemed to insist on asking her to marry Bei Chenling, which would be counterproductive. Today Bei Chenling came to make trouble with him again, which made him so angry that he couldn't help raising his voice and said solemnly.

Beichenling knew that this was Beichenhe's bottom line, she lowered her eyes, did not argue any more, and returned to her usual obedience:

"Thank you, Father."

Bei Chenhe snorted coldly and waved his hands to let Lin Aoxue and Bei Chenling go out, but Lin Aoxue didn't say a word from beginning to end.

She followed Beichenling and left Beichenhe's study. Looking at Beichenling's indifferent back, Lin Aoxue frowned, gritted her teeth, and called:

"The county master..."

She felt really bad about herself.

Beichenhe gave Beichenling an ultimatum. For her own sake, she turned to Beichenling for help. In this way, she was relieved. Beichenling had to get married in a hurry within a year. She felt that this was her own hand. result. After this incident, Lin Aoxue, who had a debt to Bei Chenling, felt more and more sorry for Bei Chenling.

However, as soon as she opened her mouth, Bei Chenling stopped and looked back at her:

"General Lin, if you want to say sorry to this county master, then you don't have to."

Lin Aoxue choked, unable to continue.

"This county lord came to look for the father and the king, not just for you, but also for myself. A year is long or short. Why does General Lin think that this county lord can't find his favorite. man of?"

Besides, one year is enough time to change a lot of things. If she gets married or not, how can Bei Chenhe say that she can do it accurately. She could openly fall out with Bei Chenhe, but she swallowed her anger right now, just to protect Lin Aoxue.

She is free and easy, it doesn't belong to her, she will never be entangled.

In the secret conversation last night, she said what she wanted to say, and the person she wanted to see had already seen it. She had no regrets, and she didn't need to be pretentious.

Lin Aoxue was stunned, she was stunned for a long time, until Bei Chenling spoke again:

"Let's go, General Lin, this county owner rarely wants to drink today, and wants to invite General Lin to accompany him. I wonder if General Lin would like it?"

Lin Aoxue never knew that she was the pretentious person.

She shook her head and smiled. What kind of confidence made her mistakenly think that her words and deeds would break Bei Chenling's heart. Bei Chenling was no longer the little girl who always walked behind her buttocks and swayed many years ago.

The author has something to say: Hahahaha~ How can our county master be very pitiful 23333, I have decided, this book will definitely not be cruel!
