When the rooster sings, the world becomes white and the sky becomes bright. The two of them woke up from their intoxication and realized what happened last night that shouldn't have happened. They couldn't help but be stunned.
After getting dressed in a hurry, I felt that my mind was groggy, probably because the alcohol from last night had not completely worn off.
Ling Yun slumped down on the brocade, lowered his head in frustration, and inserted his hands deeply into his hair.
At this time, Lian Nanchun was much calmer than him. She stood up calmly, slowly approached him with a calm face, and asked, "Do you regret it?"
Ling Yun nodded, "Now I wish I could kill myself with a sword..."
He regretted it terribly now. He hated why he behaved so improperly and did such shameful things, harming others and himself, and making everything impossible to end.
Lian Nanchun said calmly: "Then why don't you ask me how I feel?"
Ling Yun raised his somewhat confused eyes and looked at her dreamingly.
Lian Nanchun said calmly: "I don't regret it. I gave myself to the person I love most. Even if I die soon, I have no regrets!..."
Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a wave of heat in his heart; he felt his eyes were sore, and suddenly felt like crying.
Lian Nanchun continued: "But don't worry, I will not hold you back or force you to do anything; we still keep our previous promises, you can go wherever you want and leave at any time."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door, as loud as thunder; it was Lian Xuanzhong and Monk Pingming who were shouting at the door.
The two of them were a little panicked for a moment. After looking at each other for a long time, Ling Yun slowly stood up and went to open the door.
The door opened, and Monk Lian Xuanzhong and Monk Pingming walked in expressionlessly.
Lian Nanchun pretended to be calm, forced an unnatural smile on his face, and asked sarcastically: "Aunt, Master, what's the matter with you coming here so early in the morning?"
Lian Xuanzhong didn't say anything, but carefully scanned every corner of the room with his sharp eyes, so subtle that he didn't miss any trace of the room.
Then she turned around again and fixed her gaze on Ling Yun and Lian Nanchun with a gaze that seemed to be able to see through everything.
This made Ling Yun and Lian Nanchun even more confused; Ling Yun was blaming himself for the unforgivable mistake he made last night. At this time, facing Lian Xuanzhong's almost murderous and aggressive gaze, His face felt hot, and he lowered his head with a guilty conscience.
Lian Nanchun also said with some anxiety: "Aunt——"
Lian Xuanzhong sneered: "People say catching thieves will catch stolen goods, and catching traitors will catch couples. Now it's not as ambiguous as last time! As the saying goes, everyone gets the stolen goods, what else can you say?"
What could the two of them say at this time, they could only lower their heads with red faces and say nothing.
Monk Pingming clasped his hands together and said softly: "Sin! Sin! This is the only word in the world that is difficult to understand..."
Lian Xuanzhong walked up to Ling Yun step by step, his blazing eyes roaming Ling Yun's body, his eyes full of questioning.
She suddenly raised her hand and slapped Ling Yun in the face with a loud slap.
Ling Yun covered his burning face and couldn't help but take two steps back and froze for a moment.
Lian Xuanzhong said sternly: "Ling Yun, do you know why I hit you?"
Ling Yun lowered his head and said, "I know."
Lian Xuanzhong teased: "Ling Yun, I thought you were an upright gentleman, but I didn't expect that you are no different from those lustful men! Look at your dignified and sanctimonious appearance, don't you know that you are a golden man? Outside, there’s a lot of waste in it!”
Lian Xuanzhong's words were sarcastic and sarcastic, but they were a bit too much.
Although Ling Yun felt ashamed, he was still a little unhappy in his heart; he turned his sharp eyes and retorted coldly: "Of course Ling Yun knows that what he did last night was out of proportion, but please don't exaggerate! It's my responsibility. I won't shirk it, but I won't admit it if it's not my fault - my aunt is a sensible person and knows what she's doing, so why do you have to force me to tell everything and make everyone uncomfortable?"
Lian Xuanzhong couldn't help but feel a sinking feeling in his heart: "What do you mean by this?"
Ling Yun raised the corner of his mouth and said, "It's nothing. I just ask my aunt to give me some time to settle down before I give you an answer." After saying that, he turned around and walked out, leaving only a reserved and indifferent figure behind.
"Ahem, look at this brat who is quite aggressive!" Lian Xuanzhong turned to Monk Pingming and said, "Master, keep an eye on him, don't let him run away in fear of crime!"
Ping Ming responded with understanding and left.
Ling Yun went out and wandered alone on the narrow path in the mountains. Thinking about what happened last night, his mind was in a state of confusion.
The faces of Lian Nanchun and Princess Huanyu alternately flashed before his eyes. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and mocked himself: "Ling Yun, what have you done? You once claimed to be shrewd and decisive, but why did you do these things? Are you always so passive?"
Maybe it was because he had moved a little too much just now, but now the wound on his shoulder started to throb again.
There was a piece of bluestone in front of him. He took a deep breath, staggered and struggled to walk over, and sat down to calm down his somewhat disordered breath.
The breeze gently ruffled the messy and flowing black hair on his temples, and he felt that his mood seemed to calm down a little.
He raised his head and looked sadly at the few hesitant white clouds in the blue sky.
He may not know that Monk Pingming was hiding behind the trees not far from him and peering at him.
Monk Pingming patiently stared at Ling Yun's every move without blinking, tormenting away the time bit by bit, as slowly as crawling forward. It felt really boring.
Finally, he saw Ling Yun slowly stand up from the bluestone and walk forward step by step.
But after only taking a few steps, an accident happened. Ling Yun's body suddenly shook violently, as if he had accidentally triggered the pain again for some reason; he fell prone and groaned in pain while covering the wound on his shoulder.
This time, Monk Pingming was frightened. He thought to himself: Is this boy's poisonous wound not yet exhausted, and the poisonous injury has recurred?
In desperation, he no longer cared about hiding his traces. He ducked out from behind the bushes, jumped in front of Ling Yun, and asked nervously: "You...what's wrong with you?"
Ling Yun's face turned pale and he was speechless in pain. He just tried hard to turn his eyes, which were a little blinded by pain, and glanced weakly at the wound that he was covering tightly with his hands.
Monk Pingming hurriedly leaned down and examined his injuries carefully. At this time, Ling Yun suddenly took action and hit his soft numb point with lightning speed!
Monk Pingming immediately realized that he had fallen into this boy's "conspiracy"; he couldn't help but regret it, stared at his eyes and shouted loudly: "You brat, you dare to play such a trick with me, kill me quickly." Let it go!"
Ling Yun smiled and said: "Let you go? Then you, the old man, are not allowed to beat me to death! You, old man, please be patient. The acupuncture points will self-relieve in six hours. By then, I will have escaped. No matter how powerful you are, It won’t pose any threat to me, isn’t it the best of both worlds?”
Monk Pingming cursed angrily: "You are a shady, insidious and cunning brat. I will cut you into pieces when my acupuncture points are healed!"
Ling Yun said with a bit of joking: How can this be called insidious and treacherous? Shouldn't this be called a soldier who never tires of deceit? "
His smile faded, and he suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, does the token of the junior still exist with the senior? Can it be returned to its original owner now?"
As he said that, he took out the token from Monk Pingming's arms, took a glance at it, and found it was intact. He couldn't help but smile and said, "Senior has been keeping this thing for me for so many days, and now it is finally returned to Zhao in its entirety. Ling Yun would like to thank you!"
After saying that, he bowed deeply to Monk Pingming, then turned around and walked away with a smile. Monk Pingming was so angry that he puffed his beard and glared, but he was unable to do anything.
Ling Yun had just said that Monk Pingming's acupuncture points would be opened automatically after six hours; but with his strong skills and profound attainments, it only took him two hours to open the acupoints, and he rushed back in a rage and rage...
But he said that in the small xuan, there were only two people, Lian Nanchun and Lianxuan's aunt and nephew.
Lian Nanchun's sharp autumn eyes stared at Lian Xuanzhong intently, and his stern expression made Lian Xuanzhong feel a little uncomfortable. She coughed slightly and said humbly: "Chun'er, you...what's wrong with you?"
Lian Nanchun suddenly said: "Auntie, are you still pretending?"
"What did you say? I don't understand."
Lian Nanchun said: "There are only two of us in the room now. Tell me the truth. Did you send someone to tamper with the food and wine last night?"
Lian Xuanzhong rolled his eyes and said angrily: "Hey, you damn girl, how could you say such a thing?"
Lian Nanchun didn't say anything, and the corners of her mouth curled upwards in disdain. She pushed open the door and walked straight into the courtyard. She glanced around the courtyard with her clear eyes, and asked in a nonchalant manner. : “Where are the leftovers of wine that were laid out here last night?”
Lian Xuanzhong said nonchalantly: "I've already had someone deal with it."
"Did it all fall down?"
Lian Xuanzhong said coldly: "Are you interrogating the prisoner?"
Lian Nanchun ignored her words and continued: "Do you think you can destroy the evidence of crime in this way? Humph, you are trying to hide it!"
Lian Xuanzhong said helplessly: "Chun'er."
Lian Nanchun said: "Last night, you finally arranged for the attendant to refill the wine for me and Ling Yun. Before that, although Ling Yun and I were a little drunk, we were still very clear-headed - tell me, were you there at that time? Can you move your hands and feet?"
Lian Xuanzhong sighed softly and said nothing.
Lian Nanchun said: "Actually, I know Ling Yun's character best: he is rigorous and reserved, rational and conservative, and has strong self-control; and you know your niece's character best. If things hadn't happened for a reason, there would have been last night. Did those ridiculous things happen?”
Lian Xuan only smiled bitterly.
Lian Nanchun said: "Also, you guys came just after I got up with Ling Yun this morning. Isn't it a bit too coincidental? If you hadn't made arrangements earlier -"
Lian Xuanzhong interrupted her and said, "Chun'er, stop talking."
Lian Nanchun turned around at this time and fixed his watery eyes on Lian Xuanzhong's face, "Auntie, tell me, what did you do to that wine?"
Lian Xuanzhong lowered his head in frustration and whispered: "Actually, it's nothing. I just asked the attendant to give you a bottle of... Zuichun wine..."
"What, drunken spring wine?..." Lian Nanchun couldn't help but turn pale, and couldn't help complaining: "Auntie, you killed me!"
