Song Jinyin finally followed and left the small courtyard.
When she got on the carriage, there was still the hand stove that Pei Yanzhou had prepared for her when he came to pick her up the day before yesterday.
She didn't ask Lin Jingxiu about last night, but her cold hands revealed her uneasiness.
At this moment, the person who had always been indifferent finally had some fluctuations.
I can't tell what it feels like, but when I think of the person's low and hopeful tone, I suddenly feel heavy in my heart.
In fact, seeing Lin Jingxiu's different expression than before, and even seeing that it was not Cang Lin who followed, Song Jinyin knew that what happened last night should be more dangerous than she imagined.
Although she is looking forward to the freedom that truly belongs to her in the future, she also understands her heart.
That is, no matter how far the two of them go, she still doesn't want anything to happen to Pei Yanzhou.
The carriage went a little fast.
Lin Jingxiu opened the curtain, hesitated for a moment, then got into the carriage and sat near the curtain.
Pei Yanzhou might be angry with him for taking matters into his own hands. It was obvious that the man's condition was so dangerous. He was even unconscious and vomiting blood. Lin Jingxiu couldn't care about anything else.
And in his opinion, since they had agreed to get together, only at the last minute can they be considered as having no regrets.
Thinking about this, Lin Jingxiu slowly spoke under Song Jinyin's gaze.
"The girl's jade pendant is broken."
His voice was a little hoarse, and he suppressed his eagerness and tried to sound calmer.
"At that time, he seemed to be possessed by a demon. He killed several people with his sword and forced the assassin away. However, at the moment when the jade pendant shattered, he was distracted and was poisoned by the assassin's arrow. More than once, place."
"Actually, I wanted to come here to look for the girl last night. I know how important the time you and I spend together is to him, but even if he was just in a daze, he never forgot to tell you not to allow anyone to look for you."
"Actually, speaking of it, he hasn't had much of a stable life in these years. He and the girl have both had a hard time."
The sounds in the car lingered in Song Jinyin's ears.
The carriage outside was driving so fast that it didn't even avoid the passing stones, causing it to sway a bit.
When Lin Jingxiu saw her eyes lowered and said nothing, and saw that her hands under her cloak seemed to be protecting her stomach, he still opened the curtain and gave instructions.
He still didn't quite understand that Pei Yanzhou and Song Jinyin, especially this girl, were pregnant with an heir.
Even if it is not the right time to bring the person back to the crowd, he should be placed outside, no matter whether the child is a boy or a girl, and then he will look for an opportunity to take him back to the mansion and keep Pei Yanzhou's position.
But this time he let go, he let go completely, as if he also let go of his heart.
"You two are actually different from what I thought."
Song Jinyin raised her eyes to look at him, and when she saw him, she spoke again: "If he could chase him here, I thought that you would be taken back to Kyoto by him, or that this child would be kept by him, but you actually... ..Choose to leave so peacefully.”
Song Jinyin thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Master Lin, do you think that I will be shocked by the prince's lowered head, and then relent, go back with him to live those good days, and rely on this child to gain a foothold in the future?"
"That's probably the case."
Lin Jingxiu met her gaze without any other intention and looked frank.
"I used to be a maid."
Song Jinyin suddenly smiled and said without hesitation: "If my maid is allowed to stand beside him, how will those who are not familiar with him treat him in the future?"
Or even, how would he treat his maid's son being valued?
Song Jinyin just said something casually.
For her, the problem between the two of them was not just because of the status of a maid. But to talk about it was too long and complicated, so it was better to find a simple explanation.
Lin Jingxiu didn't speak again until he stepped into the inn, as if he was thinking of something else because of those words.
But when she looked at Song Jinyin again, there was pity in her eyes.
The smell of medicine was strong in the room. When Doctor Mu saw her, his eyes were filled with surprise and eagerness.
The prince had been injured several times before and had not been able to invite a girl. Today, I thought it would be even harder, but I didn't expect that I actually saw someone.
Song Jinyin didn't pay too much attention, her eyes fell straight on the bed in front of her.
She had seen him unconscious in Zhuya Courtyard, and now that she saw him again, the panic in her heart deepened for no reason.
There was still a little blood everywhere he looked, and even though someone was wiping it away, there was still a trace of dark red at the corner of the man's mouth, as if he had just vomited.
Song Jinyin felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach when she smelled the smell of blood. She forced herself to bear it down, but her eyes overflowed with a little water.
"Miss Jinyin."
Doctor Mu was about to take a pill for her to hold in her mouth, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he heard a reaction from the person on the bed.
"Don't go looking for her."
The man's voice was as hoarse as the desert, and when he spoke, it seemed as if the wind and sand in the sky were blowing up, and he didn't know who's heart it was blowing.
Song Jinyin's forward steps suddenly stopped, and she looked at those tightly closed eyes. The water in her eyes blurred out waves of light and shadow, and finally the outline of the man was clearly reflected.
As soon as the sound stopped, it sounded again, intermittently, clearly like a whisper, it should be weak, but it was strong enough to hold an irresistible chill.
"Let her go, and no one is allowed to look for her."
Song Jinyin's nose was a little blocked.
She seemed to hear a sadness in these words.
Maybe if you respond to him now, or maybe tell him to wake up soon, the two of them will be different in the future.
But Song Jinyin just suppressed the sudden depression in her heart and walked closer to the bed without saying a word.
The man's hand held the purse tightly, and due to the force, the outline of the broken jade was reflected in the purse.
How important can a jade pendant be?
For Song Jinyin, it just brings some memories of the past, and it is the only object in this world that has witnessed her happiness with her parents.
She also wanted to stay, but since Pei Yanzhou took her away, she no longer had any illusions.
Therefore, this jade pendant is important, but it is no longer important.
But now, Pei Yanzhou almost lost his life because of it.
Song Jinyin stretched out her hand to take out the things in his hand. As soon as she raised her hand to get closer, she heard Doctor Mu speak urgently: "Girl, be careful, the prince is very defensive right now, so be careful of getting hurt!"
Song Jinyin had no time to hesitate. The moment Doctor Mu opened his mouth, she had already touched the phalanges that he clenched tightly.
From a distance, Pei Yanzhou's hands clearly have beautiful joints, but a little closer, you can see the calluses left by years of holding a sword at the tiger's mouth, as well as the roughness of his fingertips.
But it's also better-looking than Song Jinyin's hands now.
She suddenly retracted the fingertips that touched him, made a fist next to him, and smiled for some reason.
When he touched the man's hand again, the warmth from his body spread to him.
I don't know if Song Jinyin's hands were too cold, but the man quickly loosened his grip, and to everyone's surprise, he allowed her to take the purse away.
But the arm on the other side was raised unconsciously, as if trying to grab something, and his eyebrows were furrowed, showing discomfort.
Song Jinyin held her purse and was about to move away, but she turned sideways when the man grabbed her other wrist.
Unable to leave.
She looked at the sleeping person on the bed and sighed softly.
"Doctor Mu, maybe you can give him acupuncture first?"
"It should be possible, but I'm just afraid that the hard-working girl will have to stay by the bed for a while..."
The hand held the person tightly.
The frowned brows seemed to show resistance, but the thin lips pressed tightly showed struggle.
But fortunately, he was no longer on guard, but his breathing was slightly short of breath.
Doctor Mu was finally able to step forward. Lin Jingxiu watched from behind, but his expression did not relax.
Now it seems that Pei Yanzhou is more inseparable from Song Jinyin than he imagined.
Whether awake or unconscious.
Even after Pei Yanzhou saw the jade pendant shattered last night, the murderous intent in his eyebrows was still vivid and frightening.
If this continues, without Song Jinyin in the future, when he returns to the court, his methods may be even more ruthless than what he is doing now, and it may be harder to get close to him.
...
Song Jinyin sat on the wooden chair brought next to her, letting him hold her wrist and letting it gradually turn red.
She didn't struggle, but moved her arms slightly, trying to dispel the increasingly intense soreness.
The next moment, the shackles on his wrists seemed to be lighter.
Song Jinyin suddenly lowered her head and looked at him in shock.
The man with his eyes closed lost some of his usual coldness, and his handsome appearance was not concealed. Only his lips were white and stained with blood.
She looked at the man in front of her very seriously for a long time, and then her eyes fell on his hand holding hers.
There was still no sign of letting go, but the hand moved towards her, trying not to stretch her too hard.
Song Jinyin's ears suddenly buzzed, and she couldn't hear much movement from the side.
Seeing blood overflowing from the corners of his lips again, I wanted to try to wipe it for him, but I saw that he seemed to be suppressing the discomfort, and his brows were full of pain.
Song Jinyin's heart suddenly twitched.
He should know that she is there.
