In order to save Du Zhenghai from prison, Ling Yun fell into the trap designed by Ying Chuanlin. At the critical moment of life and death, Lian Nanchun devoted all his efforts to rescue him.
Lian Nanchun asked him with concern: "How are you feeling now? Are you feeling better?"
Ling Yun slowly sat up and sighed softly: "If you hadn't helped me in time, I really can't imagine what the consequences would have been."
Lian Nanchun's eyes filled with autumn water turned and he said softly: "Why are you still talking about these things now? You only have yourself to blame for your bravery and lack of consideration. What kind of people are He Yuting and Ying Chuanlin? Don’t you know, can they easily leave such an important prisoner to you to rescue? You, you are usually a very smart person, why are you so confused now?"
Ling Yun lowered his eyelids, his long eyelashes covering the complicated and unclear emotions in his eyes, and said silently: "Actually, I haven't thought about what you said. It's just that the matter is imminent. How can I stand by and watch when Du Zhenghai's life is in danger? I am so desperate. I don’t care much anymore - as the saying goes, if you don’t care about things, caring about them will lead to chaos.”
Lian Nanchun frowned slightly and said softly: "No matter how urgent the matter is, there should be a foolproof strategy or a careful plan! A reckless person like you not only failed to save others, but also almost killed himself. Get in."
Ling Yun's eyes as clear as ink jade looked straight at her and said, "What do you think?"
Lian Nanchun's eyes flashed, and he smiled and said, "Change your thinking."
"oh?"
"I heard that the current Holy Emperor is very fond of a new concubine who has entered the palace, called Lingfei."
"Miss Mo?" Ling Yun's dark eyes suddenly lit up.
Lian Nanchun nodded, "That's her. I think you should know her relationship with Du Zhenghai."
Ling Yun's eyes seemed to be flashing with green eyes, "You mean, let her ask the Holy One to pardon Du Zhenghai?"
Lian Nanchun said: "Yes, according to her feelings for Du Zhenghai, she will beg the emperor at all costs."
Ling Yun smiled bitterly and said: "It's really embarrassing to say that I am a handsome man, but I can't help my friend when I see him in trouble. Instead, I have to ask a weak woman to take action."
Lian Nanchun's eyes changed, and he said with a hint of anger: "You just can't let go of your macho attitude."
Ling Yun frowned slightly, "It's just that Du Zhenghai is a prisoner of the imperial court. They and his son were once suspected of entering the palace to assassinate the Holy Emperor. Such a heinous crime cannot be tolerated by the national law; not to mention that the imperial court has posted a public notice to execute the key criminal at noon tomorrow, so what will happen to the Holy Emperor?" How can you change your will just because of the words of a concubine in the harem?"
Lian Nanchun lightly pursed his red lips and said quietly: "Then it depends on this Ling Fei's ability to charm the master. As the saying goes, 'it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty', let alone this lustful king? Today I will enter the palace to meet this eternal beauty, inform her of her interests, and inform her of rescue strategies—"
There was a hint of uneasiness in Ling Yun's eyes, and he blurted out: "What, you want to go to the palace?..."
Lian Nanchun narrowed his clear eyes slightly and said with a smile: "Of course, do you still want to go? Everyone says that this Lingfei empress is beautiful and beautiful, and her country is fragrant. If you see her and you don't know what to do, what will happen? Aren’t you making me jealous?”
Ling Yun laughed and was annoyed at the same time, "Okay, now you're still making fun of me!" He raised his hand, ready to strike.
Lian Nanchun dodged with a smile. The injury on Ling Yun's right rib had not healed a few days ago, and now he accidentally pulled on the wound, causing him to let out a slight cry of pain.
Lian Nanchun asked nervously: "How's it going? It doesn't matter, right? - You deserve it, who made you move around?"
Ling Yun smiled and shook his head and said, "It's okay. I just want to save Du Zhenghai. This alone is not safe enough. If you want to be completely sure, you must attack on both sides."
Lian Nanchun smiled slyly and said, "Then ask your princess wife to come forward and help!"
Ling Yun frowned and said, "What?..."
There was a twinkle in Lian Nanchun's affectionate eyes like lake water; she leaned forward slightly, floated in his ear, and whispered a few words softly.
Ling Yun kept nodding. Then he turned his bright eyes to her and said, "Chun'er, you have helped me a lot! How can I thank you?"
Lian Nanchun's eyes flashed, his bright eyes and smile were like peach blossoms. He was so beautiful that he said with a somewhat flirtatious tone: "What do you think?..."
Ling Yun's eyes were as hot as fire at this time, his gaze was scorching, and he stared unblinkingly at the breathtakingly beautiful face in front of him, as if a ball of flame was about to burn out and devour the beautiful lady in front of him into ashes.
Lian Nanchun's originally calm eyes flashed with a hint of panic. She didn't dare to look directly into the other person's fiery eyes. She took a deep breath, lowered her eyelids, and forced herself over and over in her heart not to be impetuous. clam down……
Ling Yun slowly approached her, stretched out a pair of rough yet flexible arms, and enveloped her entire delicate body in his arms; his warm breath kept blowing into her ears, making her blush and her heart beat.
At that moment, she felt that her throbbing heart was beating like a deer, happy, intoxicated, and so sweet that it was about to melt.
She subconsciously responded to his raging passion, her graceful waist moved forward, her eyes were as charming as silk, and she smiled sweetly, hugging his strong and warm body tightly.
Everything around is quiet, as if time has stopped...
Suddenly, Lian Nanchun's mind suddenly became excited, as if a blazing fire was suddenly poured with a basin of cold water, and it instantly became cold and silent.
She pushed Ling Yun away, raised her head and sighed softly: "We can't do this..."
Ling Yun also came back to his senses at this time.
He released his arms that were hugging Lian Nanchun enthusiastically, lowered his head in frustration, and slowly inserted his hands into his hair.
Seeing his gloomy face, Lian Nanchun couldn't help but feel pain in his heart. He stretched out his arms, gently hugged his slightly trembling body from behind, and said softly: "Are you angry?..."
Ling Yun's originally blazing gaze also cooled down little by little at this time, as if it was a kind of loneliness that burned away the ashes. He said in a calm tone: "No, I was too impulsive just now. We really shouldn't do this."
Lian Nanchun let go of his arms, frowned slightly, and remained silent.
Ling Yun turned his back and said sadly: "I am a married man now, and I must be responsible for my words and deeds. And we also said at the beginning that we would just be ordinary friends...
"I can't do that kind of irreversible thing just on a whim; otherwise, I will not only be sorry for you, but also sorry for her, and even more sorry for my own heart."
Lian Nanchun looked at the distant morning light coming through the window with a cold expression, and said indifferently "hmm" in the floating dust.
"It's getting late, I should go back." Ling Yun stood up slowly, roughly tied up his clothes, then picked up the long sword placed on the table next to him, turned around and walked out.
"It's getting late. If you go back a little later, maybe the whole capital will dig deep to find you!"
Lian Nanchun's expression was cold and calm, as if he was talking about something else innocuous, but every word was like a knife piercing his heart.
Ling Yun walked to the door, turned around, looked at her reluctantly, and said dumbly: "Chun'er, I'm going back, can't you say one more kind word?"
Lian Nanchun could almost hear his soul whimpering silently; at the moment of pain, helplessness was quietly tearing at her heart.
She whispered softly and said: "I once said that there are many kinds of love in the world, one of which is desperate and selfish love. If you can't get it, you would rather destroy it than let others get it; there is also The other is to let go and be fulfilled. As long as you watch the person you love live well from a distance, even if you can't be with him, you will feel very satisfied and happy. Between these two, I choose the latter……"
Ling Yun had actually understood her calmness at this time. It was not true peace at all, but a complete peace after struggling with fate.
At that moment, all the emotions were surging in his heart but he suppressed them. He only trembled and called out: "Chun'er!..." and then choked.
Lian Nanchun's eyes instantly shattered, and she staggered forward two steps; Ling Yun also opened his arms with forgetfulness, and the two hugged each other tightly again...
Junma Mansion, in the bedroom of Huanyun Pavilion.
Princess Huanyu lazily opened her sleepy eyes, straightened her messy hair on her temples, and slowly sat up from the brocade bed.
Looking up and looking outside, the red sun fills the window, and the morning light shines through the layers of green leaves, casting mottled colors all over the ground, intertwining and changing, making it dazzling.
At this time, her mind was still a little groggy.
She gently rubbed her head, which was still a little dazed, with her hands, and couldn't help but think of what happened last night.
Last night, just before going to bed to rest, Ling Yun suddenly told her that he couldn't stay with her that night because he had something very important to do.
Huan Yu curled her lips and said unhappy, "It's so late, where are you going?"
Ling Yun frowned slightly, narrowed his deep eyes dangerously, and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, Princess, I can't tell you yet. In short, this matter is very important to me, and it is also very secret.
"Except for you, me, and Jiao Xing, no one in the entire capital knows about it. If you still care about me, don't tell anyone; otherwise, you will harm me..."
Huan Yu's face couldn't help but change, and a bit of anger overflowed in her eyes. She was about to ask why, but she felt a numbness on her shoulders, and then she didn't know anything anymore...
When I woke up again, it was the next morning.
At this moment, thinking about what happened last night, she felt her heart beating wildly, biting her lips involuntarily, and her mind was filled with all kinds of chaotic thoughts.
She no longer cared about decorum and etiquette. She jumped down from the bed in a flash, rushed to the door of the room in a few steps, and shouted continuously: "Jiao Xing! Jiao Xing!..."
