When Ling Yun really decided to leave, he deeply realized his deep attachment and reluctance to leave this former residence where he had deep feelings.
While he was thinking a lot, he suddenly heard the sound of the door outside. He turned around and saw Princess Huanyu opening the door and walking in with a lonely look.
"Jun Ma, are you really determined to leave here?" she asked expressionlessly.
Ling Yun turned away, avoiding her autumn-like eyes full of resentment, and nodded lightly.
Huanyu's tears mixed with reddish blood rolled down, broken and desperate, "Ling Yun, you are so cruel. But I also know that no matter what I say now, it is too late. Since you are determined to leave, , no one can keep you.
"However, we are husband and wife after all. We get along well and part ways, which can be considered a beginning and an end. Before leaving, I prepared a banquet in the flower hall. I wonder if you can show your favor and have a few drinks with me, which can be regarded as practicing for you. ”
Looking at Princess Huanyu's bleak and desolate eyes, Ling Yun felt like his chest was being twisted by a knife, and the pain was so painful that he could hardly breathe, "Okay."
Ling Yun followed Huan Yu to the flower hall, where a sumptuous banquet had been set up. Several girls, including Xiang Yun, were standing by with their hands lowered and respectful, all of them lowering their eyebrows and looking respectful.
Ling Yun and Huan Yu took their seats respectively.
Huan Yu filled three glasses of wine and said quietly: "Before I leave, I would like to offer you three glasses of wine. If we say goodbye, I won't waste our time together as husband and wife."
After saying that, she picked up a glass of wine and said sadly: "This first glass of wine is for the love we had as husband and wife. I have to admit now that you may have never really loved me, but I am... Sincerely. I really can’t imagine how my life would be like without you..."
As she spoke, her tears fell unconsciously. She wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said with a wry smile: "Look at me, why are you talking about this - come on, do it!"
Ling Yun silently took the glass and drank it in one gulp.
Huan Yu raised the second glass of wine, "This glass of wine is my blessing to you and Lian Nanchun. I wish you love each other for a lifetime and grow old together——"
Ling Yun couldn't explain how he felt. He took the cup from Huan Yu's hand. The moment it came into contact with her hand, he felt her hand trembling slightly... He drank the second glass of wine.
Huan Yu picked up the last glass of wine and said: "This third glass of wine is the breakup wine for you and me. After drinking it, you and I will go our separate ways and become strangers..." Her voice was hoarse and choked with sobs. I can't say any more.
Ling Yun's face turned pale, and he bit his lip involuntarily. His slightly trembling hands became cold, and his fingertips stabbed hard into the palm of his hand, but he could not feel the slightest pain.
His heart was bursting with sadness, and his strong sense of guilt made him almost dare not raise his head to face Huanyu's sad and weeping eyes.
He slowly took the glass of wine and said in a deep voice: "Princess, I know I am sorry for you, but there is nothing I can do about it, because our union was originally a mistake, and breaking up may be the best relief. After all, Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!...
"In the days to come, you should take care of yourself and forget that I am such a heartless person. I am not worthy of your love at all!"
After saying that, he raised his glass and was about to drink, when suddenly he heard Huan Yu call out: "Jun Ma!..."
Ling Yun's heart was throbbing for no reason, "What's wrong?"
The corners of Huanyu's lips curled up mockingly, and a sad smile flashed across her eyes. The smile was strange and a bit unpredictable.
Ling Yun was confused by her ambiguous smile and was puzzled by its meaning when he suddenly felt dizzy before his eyes, and everything around him seemed to be shaking.
At this time, he realized that something was wrong. He let go of his hand and the wine glass fell to the ground, breaking into several pieces and causing the wine to splash everywhere.
His scarlet eyes were on fire, and he pointed at Huan Yu with trembling hands: "You...you drugged the wine glass just now..."
Huan Yu was frightened at first, then calmed down and sneered: "Yes, I did something in your cup, it was just a little bit of Ecstasy..."
Ling Yun held his forehead with his hand, trying to gather his scattered thoughts, and said through gritted teeth: "You..."
Huan Yu raised her eyebrows with a hint of provocation, and said calmly: "That's the Seven-step Ecstasy Powder of our Lord Jinling. It's colorless and tasteless, and it's extremely powerful. It's the Tianluo Immortal Mistake." I can’t hold on for long after drinking it!
"Ordinarily, Commander Ling, who has been in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Justice for so many years, has investigated countless cases, and has extensive knowledge, should not be tricked so easily; but you feel guilty and are in a daze, and all you want is to run away with that woman - —You would never have thought in your dreams that we would do anything to this wine!"
As she spoke, her gloomy eyes flashed, and she said bitterly: "Ling Yun, don't blame us. If you want to blame, just blame yourself. You have failed me and failed me! And there is nothing you can do about it - you know, except If you do this, we have no other way to keep you!"
Ling Yun's heart trembled, "You?..."
Huan Yu's eyes flickered, "Yes, it's us. In addition to me, there are Mr. Lu, Mr. Xu, and Captain Yang."
Ling Yun's expression was as cold as if it was about to freeze, and he said through his teeth, "How could you use such despicable means..."
At that moment, he suddenly understood. He understood that this was a complete trap. The people who designed the trap were Princess Huanyu, Master Lu, Xu Zhi, and Yang Zhen.
He really regrets that he was too naive. In fact, it's not that he doesn't understand the principle of "people's hearts are in danger", he just feels that this kind of thing can't happen to him, and it can't happen to those close relatives and trusted people around him.
Because they are his brothers, friends, and Mr. Lu, who has always regarded him as his confidant and nephew, and has been kind to him...
Just yesterday, he was still laughing at Nanchun's unfounded worries; he said to her disapprovingly: Don't you understand what kind of people they are? Even if there are any other methods, they are aimed at others, and they can't use them against their own people!
Only now did he realize how wrong he was! In fact, sometimes the person who hurts you the most is often the person you trust and are closest to - it's not like he has never experienced such a heart-wrenching lesson before, but why can't he remember it?
Now it seems that Lian Nanchun's original worries were not unreasonable; if I had listened to Lian Nanchun earlier, maybe I wouldn't be in this passive state now...
At that moment, infinite regret and hatred overlapped repeatedly on his face, but he knew that it was already too late.
He reluctantly took a few steps forward, but he felt the world was spinning. He could no longer support his shaky body and fell limply to the ground...
The stars are twinkling, and the night wind is slightly chilly. In the Junma Mansion at night, lights were lit everywhere, but the atmosphere in the mansion was surprisingly quiet, so quiet that you could clearly hear the sound of the night wind blowing against the window lattice.
After being in a coma for an unknown amount of time, Ling Yun finally woke up from the haze and chaos.
His butterfly-wing eyelashes fluttered slightly, and his eyes suddenly opened.
He glanced around with clear eyes, and found that he was lying stiffly on the Jintao of Huanyun Pavilion, with several large acupoints on his body being restrained, and he could not move at all.
The people standing in a circle around Jin Tao, Huan Yu, Xu Zhi, Yang Zhen and others were all there.
Ling Yun raised his head slightly, and a pale smile appeared at the corner of his mouth that was so unreal that it was about to break. "What are you doing? Unlock my acupuncture points quickly."
A flash of sarcasm flashed through Huanyu's half-narrowed eyes, and she said sourly: "Can I untie your acupuncture points and let you find that witch again so that you can elope together?"
Ling Yun felt a surge of angry blood rushing in his chest, his shoulders were shaking, and he was so angry that he was speechless for a moment.
Yang Zhen couldn't help but said: "Brother Ling, actually we are doing this for your own good. We really can't bear to watch you stubbornly ruin your bright future for a woman! One mistake will lead to eternal hatred!
"Tomorrow is the three-day period. If you really run away with that woman so irresponsibly, you will not only put yourself in a situation of eternal disaster, but you will also implicate Mr. Lu and other brothers in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs. !
"The sea of suffering is boundless, but turning back is the end. Brother Ling, please turn back as soon as possible! Don't sink anymore, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!..."
Ling Yun's face turned livid and he said angrily: "Shut up! I don't understand. I just want to fulfill a promise of mine. I just want to live a leisurely life without fighting against the world, indifferent and detached, but why is it so difficult for you? Why bother to obstruct it like this?"
Xu Zhi's thick eyebrows furrowed and gradually twisted into a knot, "So Commander Ling is unwilling to change his original intention?"
Ling Yun suppressed his anger and said in a decisive voice: "What I have decided will not change unless you kill me."
Yang Zhen's pupils suddenly trembled, "Brother Ling, what are you talking about? By saying this, you clearly don't regard us as brothers!"
Ling Yunxing's eyes widened and he said, "You are plotting against me like this, do you think you consider me your brother?"
Xu Zhi sighed: "Commander Ling, you are so stubborn!" After saying that, he shook his head helplessly and went out with a sigh.
Ling Yun turned his bloodshot eyes to Yang Zhen and said, "Yang Zhen, please untie my acupuncture points!"
Yang Zhen shook his head decisively and said: "No, I can't just watch you jump into the fire pit."
Ling Yun felt that his hairs stood up one by one; his face was ferocious, his eyes were spitting fire, and he shouted almost hysterically: "This is my own business, do you want to take care of it? What qualifications do you have to interfere with me?" Freedom! Let me go!..."
No one had ever seen Ling Yun so furious that he almost lost control. Contrary to his rage, the people in the room remained silent at this time.
Everyone's heads slowly drooped; the atmosphere in the room also became oppressive and dull, so suffocating that people could not breathe.
Ling Yun pursed his lips tightly, and his bloody eyes were as gloomy and terrifying as ghosts; he gasped: "Didn't you hear what I said? Let me go quickly!..."
Yang Zhen glanced at him helplessly and said: "You are too impulsive, Brother Ling. I know you can't listen to what everyone says now. So you need to calm down now - Brother Ling, please forgive me for being disrespectful." .”
Saying that without any further explanation, he raised his hand to control Ling Yun's sleeping point.
