Prince Jinling met with Ling Yun at Qinfang Villa and angrily asked him about the affairs between him and Princess Huanyu.
Prince Jinling asked: "Tell me, is it largely because of that witch that your relationship with Huanyu is in such trouble today?..."
Ling Yun's heart twitched unconsciously. He slowly raised his head, looked at Prince Jinling with piercing eyes, and said resolutely: "It's none of her business. Even without her, it would still be difficult to maintain the relationship between me and the princess, because the essence of the problem lies in the relationship between me and the princess. The conflict between the princesses does not lie with her.
"And instead of destroying the relationship between me and the princess, she always reminded me, asking me to treat the princess well and take seriously the responsibilities of a husband to his wife; she also proposed to break up with me. They agreed to just be ordinary friends...
Prince Jinling's eyes suddenly shrank and he sneered: "Ling Yun, are you still defending that witch and speaking for her now?"
Ling Yun's anxious eyes turned and he said hastily: "My lord, Ling Yun can swear to God that every word of what he just said is absolutely true. If there is any unfairness or bias in it, let Ling Yun die by the sword!" …”
Prince Jinling curled his lips and snorted: "Ling Yun, you don't need to swear to me. I know the truth in my heart.
"But then again, although there are some trivial matters or disagreements between you and Huanyu, when the young couple lives together, how can a long spoon not touch the edge of the pot? Even if there is some unpleasantness, there will always be The only thing is to be considerate of each other. After all, life has to go on - but why has it reached such an incompatible point now?
"Some time ago, the incident between you and that owl demon girl caused a huge uproar in the city, and it even went to the emperor. Tell me the truth, what is going on?"
Ling Yun sighed softly and said: "It's hard to put it into words..."
He calmed down his somewhat chaotic thoughts, and then started talking about Ying Chuanlin's report in front of Princess Huanyu.
Later, Princess Huanyu found out that he still had contacts with Lian Nanchun and they were incompatible with each other, so she forced him to completely break off with Lian Nanchun.
When he was in pain and entangled, Lian Nanchun had no choice but to give in and proposed to him: the two of them would completely cut off all contact. From now on, they would be separated and never see each other again in this life.
Things have developed to the current point. Although it is not satisfactory, it is still acceptable after all. Unexpectedly, Princess Huanyu teamed up with He Yuting, Ying Chuanlin and others to set up a dragnet to capture Lian Nanchun as the owl and the witch, and everything became uncontrollable...
At that time, Ling Yun was drugged by them in his wine and trapped in the Huanyun Pavilion dormitory. He was so anxious that he had no choice but to do anything.
When he was at a loss, he begged Princess Huanyu to let Lian Nanchun find a way out; as long as she agreed, he would do anything.
He even promised her that he would completely cut off contact with Lian Nanchun and never see each other again; he would always be with her.
But even so, Princess Huanyu still couldn't tolerate them. So on the day when Lian Nanchun was executed, a series of thrilling and irreversible things happened...
As he spoke, the tragic and bloody scenes of the day of the incident appeared in front of his eyes. He clenched his teeth tightly, tried his best to suppress the trembling of his lips, and couldn't help but tremble all over his body. His expression looked extremely miserable and painful.
Prince Jinling listened to Ling Yun's almost bloody and tearful statement, and he couldn't tell what he felt in his heart; his expression was complex and picturesque, with sighs, indignation, and helplessness...
He lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he slowly raised his head and said in a bitter voice: "It seems that what you just said is indeed correct! There is no simple right and wrong in the relationship between men and women. When things have developed to this point, You and Huan Yu already have your own strengths and weaknesses, and each has a fifty-fifty rivalry.
"But Ling Yun, it's your fault first. Since you are married to Huanyu, you should treat her wholeheartedly. You should not, but you should not have sex with other women during your marriage. The connection is broken, what else is involved..."
Ling Yun lowered his head and said: "Yes, the prince is absolutely right. This is the biggest mistake Ling Yun has ever made. Although there is a reason for the incident, it does not become the reason for me to betray my marriage.
"Because of this incident, I sincerely apologized to Huanyu, begged her to forgive me for the mistakes I had made, and promised to completely cut off all contact with Lian Nanchun and stay with her forever.
"The premise is that everyone takes a step back, and she can let Lian Nanchun go! But at that time, she was determined not to tolerate her, and she must kill her quickly, otherwise things would not develop to the current irreversible point... "
Prince Jinling frowned and said, "Huanyu did go a bit too far in those things that happened later. As the saying goes: take a step back and the sky will be brighter, and let the sea be calm. It would have been nice if she could have stopped at that time, but she had such a temper. , she is unreasonable and unforgiving, I don’t know how many times I have told her about this, but she just won’t listen, and I can’t do anything to her!..."
"How about this," Prince Jinling pondered for a moment and said, "According to what you just said, you and her should take a step back now. Don't just hold on to the things she has done. We no longer care about the offensive and outrageous things you did to her recently.
"You go to the palace to apologize to her, and then you can go back together - let the past things pass forever, and start everything over, all over again, okay?"
It is said that the prince of Jinling is generous and kind, and it is quite difficult for him to do this. At this time, Ling Yun should walk down the steps, kneel to the ground in fear, and be grateful to the prince for disregarding the previous grudges and fully understanding the righteousness.
But Ling Yun didn't have this idea at this time. He was silent for a long time, and finally spoke with difficulty, "Ling Yun appreciates the prince's caring heart. But I'm sorry, Ling Yun will have to let down the prince's heart..."
Prince Jinling's expression was blank for a moment, as if something had broken apart, and there was no sound, but his voice was extremely unstable as he said: "What...what did you say?..."
Ling Yun lowered his eyes, avoiding his burning gaze, and said in a deep voice: "Some things may be possible to start over, but some things once happen, there is no room for maneuver.
"Just like what happened between me and the princess. Back on the cliff of Guantou, when Huanyu decisively ordered to fire thousands of arrows at me and Lian Nanchun, it was destined that everything would never go back...
"The damage has been done, no matter how much repair is done, it is impossible to go back to the past; just like her, who was forced to jump off the cliff by Huan Yu, can she still live again?..."
At the end of the sentence, his wet and misty eyes were filled with tiny ripples of light, and his lips were trying their best to suppress the trembling.
Listening to Ling Yun's tearful words, countless complex emotions surged repeatedly in the eyes of Prince Jinling, the loneliness of being withdrawn, the helplessness of facing embarrassing scenes...
"So, Ling Yun, you are determined to separate from Huanyu and there is no room for maneuver?..."
Ling Yun suddenly lifted up his clothes, knelt down on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Ling Yun disobeyed the prince's will and failed the prince's love, please punish him!..."
Looking at Ling Yun's expression on the verge of tears, Prince Jinling couldn't help but feel sad, "Actually, after all, this is a grudge dispute between you and Huan Yu. In the end, you two need to face it and resolve it. The king really can't interfere anymore——
"Ling Yun, you are a smart man. You should know exactly where to go. In short, you can do it yourself."
After that, he sighed and walked away...
The sixth day of September is a disastrous day for Lu Qiuyue. On this day, she will marry Ding Jiying and become the daughter-in-law of the Ding family forever.
And she finally didn't meet Jiang Chun again before she got married, for two reasons:
First, the people in the Lu family were too strict with her and followed her everywhere, fearing that she would do something stupid if she lost her mind.
Second, she didn't want to see him again. Since they are destined to be separated forever, seeing each other again will only increase the sadness and pain of each other. At this time, she is scarred and exhausted, and she can no longer withstand any blows and heavy injuries.
According to tradition, before getting on the sedan chair, a girl always thanks her parents for raising her and bid farewell with tears, but at this time, Lu Qiuyue didn't shed a single tear.
She walked past her parents expressionlessly without saying a word; she didn't even turn her head before getting on the sedan chair.
The people of Ding's house were very happy, playing and playing, and carried the bride away.
Lu Wen was looking at his daughter's retreating back. Complexity and pain engulfed his heart. He sighed and turned away.
Mrs. Lu was heartbroken, and she tried her best to suppress herself from crying. Still, she was in tears.
On the third day after Lu Qiuyue's wedding, Lu Wenzheng asked someone to bring Jiang Chun and said, "Let's go! Leave this place forever and don't let me see you again."
Jiang Chun said numbly: "No, if I want to leave, I also want to go with Qiuyue."
Lu Wenzheng sighed deeply and ordered Xu Zhi, "Mr. Xu, put out wine for him to practice."
In a courtyard of Lu Mansion, Xu Zhi set up a banquet for Jiang Chun and said goodbye to him.
From Xu Zhi's words, Jiang Chun learned about Lu Qiuyue's marriage to the Ding Mansion, and felt as cold as if he had fallen into an ice hole. His face turned pale and he was speechless for a long time.
Xu Zhi raised his glass silently and said: "I urge you to drink another glass of wine. There is no old friend when you leave Yangguan in the west. Come, Brother Jiang, drink this glass!"
Jiang Chun took the wine glass numbly and drank it down in one gulp.
Jiang Chun left Lu Mansion and walked forward aimlessly, unconsciously leaving the capital. It was early autumn, the autumn wind was rustling, the vegetation was rustling, a few fallen leaves were rustling in the wind, and everything was desolate and desolate.
Jiang Chun raised his face, facing the dark sky, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Why, why did you marry him? You once said that you would live and die with me and grow old together, but why did you betray your original vow? - Qiu Yue , are you worthy of me by doing this?..."
There were footsteps behind me. Jiang Chun's heart trembled and he turned around in confusion.
