Ling Yun was chased by the imperial guards led by Sun Guoxiong; he had no choice but to hide in the Jinling Palace; arranged by the Jinling Prince, he temporarily recovered from his injuries in an underground secret room in the palace garden.
After everyone left, only Ling Yun and the Ge brothers were left in the secret room.
Ling Yun glanced sideways at the two of them, and said in a thick and gentle voice, "You two have been tired for a day, go back and rest."
Ge Long said softly: "The prince and the princess have given instructions that we brothers do not have to do anything else. We will only take turns taking care of your food and daily life these days."
Ling Yun said "Oh", thoughtfully, and thought to himself: "Let these two brothers take care of me to prevent more people from knowing about this matter. It can be said to be smooth sailing, but it is also a good arrangement." He couldn't help but feel grateful to Jin Ling. Your Majesty, they have good intentions and careful arrangements.
He paused briefly and then asked: "By the way, why are you two here?"
The Ge brothers looked at each other and lowered their heads in frustration.
Ling Yun has a clear mind. When he saw this situation, he immediately realized something and said in a deep voice: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake."
"No, it's our fault." Ge Long frowned, and his hand hanging on one side slowly tightened.
"When we were obsessed with making such a big mistake, my grandfather and father were very angry and scolded our brothers. We also felt that we had no shame in staying at home anymore, so we had to run away from home. Unexpectedly, the house leaked and it rained continuously. , we met our enemies again on the way, but thanks to Princess Huanyu’s timely rescue and shelter, we arrived at the Jinling Palace..."
"So that's it -" Ling Yun pursed his lips slightly to suppress some of the emotions surging in his heart, and said silently: "It's my fault, it's me who got you all involved."
Ge Long's guilt at this time was like an uncontrollable torrent surging in his heart; the corners of his mouth twitched slightly and he said in a nonchalant voice: "Master Ling, please don't say that. Think about all the stupid things we did before. I regret it so much!”
Ling Yun frowned slightly and said softly: "Don't mention the past things anymore. You two have been out for so long. I think Mr. Ge and Brother Ge must be very anxious. You should go back and tell your parents Let’s take a look at the current situation so that they won’t worry about it.”
After hearing this, Ge Hu's face suddenly turned red. He stared at Ling Yun with a pair of bloody eyes and said, "We are not going back! They were so cruel to us back then..."
This child has a simple mind and blurts out words without thinking when he is emotional. Suddenly he felt his arm being touched hard by his brother, and then he noticed that Ling Yun's face was a little ugly, and he hurriedly stopped talking.
The atmosphere was surprisingly quiet for a moment; it was so quiet that the somewhat cramped breathing of the two brothers could be clearly heard.
"Look, we were just talking and forgot about the business!" Ge Long's mind was quick, his sly eyes turned, and he coughed slightly, breaking the silence in front of him.
"By the way, Master Ling, how do you feel? Do you feel any discomfort now? Otherwise, let me get you a glass of water first!"
Ling Yun secretly admired the child's quick thinking, so he borrowed the donkey down the slope and said with a nonchalant smile: "No need. Thanks to you two again this time, I really don't know how to repay the kindness you and my family have shown me."
Ge Long twisted the hem of his clothes with some embarrassment and said uneasily: "Master Ling, are you too outspoken to say that? - Why are you so polite to us two brothers?"
Ling Yun's clear eyes curved slightly, she pursed her lips and smiled lightly, but said nothing...
It was already dark outside. Everything was silent, and the hazy moon hung alone in the sky, emitting a dim brilliance, as if covered with a thin layer of gauze, spread mistly on the ground, as if broken silver was scattered all over the ground, in a trance.
A few days passed in the blink of an eye, and luckily nothing happened. Prince Jinling's early injuries have basically recovered, and he went to court that day.
Princess Huanyu and her mother, Princess Wei, were chatting in the living room. At this time, Wan'er came in and reported: "Princess, Princess, Princess Changqing is here."
The two of them hurriedly gave orders to invite them.
After a while, Princess Changqing walked in surrounded by her maids Biyun, Yancui and others. Everyone exchanged pleasantries and got down to business.
Huanyu got straight to the point: "Mother, why didn't Tianci come?"
Princess Chang Qing said: "A few maids are coaxing me to play in the mansion! It's a mess outside these days, so I didn't let him come - by the way, is Brother Wang doing well?"
Princess Wei smiled and said: "Thanks to Yu Mei's concern, he is much better now. No, he went to court early this morning."
Princess Chang Qing nodded happily, "That's good."
So the three of them started chatting.
Huan Yu couldn't help but feel sad when she saw that Princess Chang Qing looked calm and chatting and laughing on the surface, but the melancholy and confusion that could not be concealed were inadvertently written on her face.
Of course she could understand Princess Changqing's painful and entangled mood at this time. Because I feel sympathy for her and share the same problem.
After everyone chatted for a while, Princess Wei felt a little tired, so she was helped back to rest by the maid.
Huan Yu then took Princess Chang Qing back to her Jin Pavilion and closed the door; the two looked at each other with tears in their eyes, speechless and choked.
Finally Huanyu spoke first, "Mother, how are you doing these days?"
Princess Chang Qing's nose was sore, and the tears she was holding back fell immediately, "Huanyu, you know my thoughts best - don't you know how I am doing?"
Huanyu could no longer suppress the sour emotion in her heart. She called out "mother", and the two hugged each other and cried bitterly.
Princess Chang Qing cried and said: "In this world, except you, who can I confide all my bitterness to? He Yuting is sanctimonious, despicable and hypocritical. I no longer have any expectations for him."
"But where is my Lin'er - where is he now? If I can see him again in my lifetime, I will have no regrets even if I die..."
Huanyu's heart was as sharp as a knife, and she trembled: "Mother..."
Princess Chang Qing said numbly: "And he still refuses to forgive me. Am I really such a failure as a mother? I miss you, Chang Qing, who has worked hard and toil all my life. Could this be the result in the end?" What?..."
Huanyu sobbed: "Mom, don't be like this. Don't you and I still know Zhichao's character? He is soft on the inside and strong on the outside. If he knows how hard you have been treating him, he will definitely forgive you."
"Really?..." Changqing Princess Xingzi's eyes reflected the color of water, and she looked at her without blinking, "By the way Huanyu, didn't you see him in the palace last time? Did he reveal it to you? Where did he go?"
The muscles on Huanyu's face twitched unconsciously. She shook her head subconsciously and looked away.
"A few days ago, in order to save his friend, he met his father on the execution ground. At that time, his father tried his best to persuade him to put down his sword and plead guilty. But he was stubborn and stubborn and refused to agree to anything; even And he said those decisive words!
"Huanyu, tell me, why is this? Is he really so sad and desperate for his parents that he is unwilling to accept his father's help even if he fights to die? Will he never Are you willing to forgive your father and mother?"
Princess Chang Qing's face was pale, tears were streaming down her face, her eyes were filled with extreme sadness and confusion, and she was muttering almost to the point of collapse.
Huanyu's heart trembled violently, as if he had been stabbed hard by a sharp blade, and the bone-piercing pain spread instantly and swept through his whole body.
"Mother, no way... He is not that kind of person. He must have his own reasons for having to deal with it. Believe me..." She said in a thick voice while trying her best to suppress the heat in her eyes.
"Yes, you are right. People say that a son is better than his mother. Don't I, as a mother, understand the son I gave birth to? I knew that he must have some last resort..."
Princess Chang Qing's mood became slightly calmer at this time, and a glimmer of hope flashed across her misty eyes, "Huanyu, in this embarrassing situation, do you think he will come to you?"
"If he comes, you must convey my thoughts to him and tell him that his mother cares about him all the time. As long as he can forgive me, I will be willing to die..."
I pity the hearts of parents in the world. Huanyu bit her lip tightly, her throat trembled like a sob, and she burst into tears and said, "Mother, please stop talking! I...I..."
At this moment, she really wanted to tell Princess Chang Qing that Ling Yun was recuperating in the mansion, and then reunite their mother and son. But when the words came to her lips, she froze again.
After all, she has been with Ling Yun and his wife for so many years, and she has a deep understanding of Ling Yun's persistent and decisive temperament - especially when it comes to these matters now, he has always said the right thing, and even has his own way.
If she had told Princess Chang Qing about his stay in the palace without obtaining Ling Yun's consent beforehand, and had made the decision to allow the mother and son to meet - then what would be Ling Yun's reaction? Will you do something out of control when you are emotional, and the trouble will not end?
She really didn't dare to think about the consequences...
She thought about it again and again, feeling a little confused for a moment; finally she swallowed the words that came to her lips, and could only hold Princess Chang Qing tightly and cry...
There were misty clouds outside, and the sky was dark and gloomy, as if a thick stroke of whale-blue ink had been splashed on it.
As the sun gradually sets in the west, the color of the sky becomes darker and darker, from light purple to deep purple, until it is dark...the light is about to disappear, and the day will soon end again.
In the evening, Huan Yu came to the underground secret room in the palace garden to deliver food to Ling Yun.
Because now the only people who know the secret that Lingyun is recuperating in the Jinling Palace are the Prince of Jinling, Princess Huanyu, Zhao Yang, the Ge brothers and Mr. Liu Liu - and the Prince of Jinling has a noble status, and his every move attracts attention. It's mobility issues.
Mr. Liu Liu is an outsider again; the main task of the Ge brothers is to take care of Ling Yun's food and daily life and guard his safety.
Zhao Yang is a public figure in the mansion, and his every move attracts attention. At the same time, he has to deal with many affairs in the mansion; so it is incumbent upon Princess Huanyu to deliver meals three times a day...
