Winter goes, spring comes.

On the day when the spring was sweltering and the snow first melted, an imperial decree drove the Mu family into a place of despair.

The crimes of the Mu family are unforgivable, and the whole family was exiled to the south, and they were not allowed to return to Beijing for life. The children of the Mu family were not allowed to participate in scientific examinations and serve as officials within nine uniforms.

Such a decree destroyed the century-old foundation of the Mu family.

The magnificence of the Mu family is like a sinking stone submerged in the sea. It sinks to the bottom of the sea in the blink of an eye. It may take countless years, countless suns and moons, before a grain of sand and stone will be seen again with the waves.

But such a day, within the past hundred years, is obviously impossible to happen.

After hearing the Queen's will, she spoke out against the Holy Majesty, was deprived of the Phoenix seal, and was imprisoned in the inner palace.

Even the crown prince was fined to contemplate behind closed doors for three months because he interceded on behalf of the Mu family.

It's clearly spring, but the water flowing in Bianjing is clearly cold and frighteningly uneasy.

In Qingshan Nunnery, the heavy smell of bitter medicine lingers in the room, which cannot be dissipated for a long time.

The girl was lying in the quilt, the ice had turned into spring water at this time, but her room was still burning with charcoal and covered with a thick quilt.

The door was pushed open, and Jiang Lingyi turned over, with sleepy eyes.

"What's the matter."

"Proton wants to see you."

Hairpin Xing's tone was dull, obviously he was reluctant to talk about it.

Jiang Lingyi's eyelashes moved slightly, and after a while, she said lazily.

"Let him come up."

"……Yes."

The delicate and beautiful boy, with a pale complexion, lowered his brows and eyes obediently, like a tamed wild cat.

But in the eyes of Xing Xing, this young man who once wanted to kill his master is the most dangerous person.

Even after seeing him being left face to face with Jiang Lingyi after his minions were pulled out, Zan Xing still couldn't take him lightly.

And Xi Yu hadn't seen the woman who made him sleepless at night for a long time. When we saw her again, I saw her sitting between the beds with a plain white body and a sick face. Brilliant but heart-wrenching.

He smelled the smell of medicine in the room, and he couldn't believe it.

"You... you are... sick?"

This tone, as if how terrible it is for her to be sick.

Jiang Lingyi leaned lazily between the soft pillows, smiling casually.

"Yeah, is it weird?"

Xi Yu's expression changed slightly, and soon returned to his pretended indifference.

"You're used to putting on a show."

Jiang Lingyi chuckled, but was not angry.

"Then what are you doing here? As long as you stay safe, no one in Bianjing can hurt you. What are you doing here to find me?"

"Are you so confident?" Xi Yu snorted coldly, frowning dissatisfied.

"Didn't you really treat me face to face, come and go as soon as you recruit, you are no longer Princess Baoxi, how can you have the confidence to protect a proton like me."

"Yeah, I'm not Princess Baoxi anymore, what are you doing here?" Jiang Lingyi looked at him with a half-smile, but there was no sarcasm in her eyes, but a little gentleness in her eyes.

Xi Yu sat directly beside her bed, pretending to be calm.

"I'm just here to see if you're pretending so I can find another asylum."

Jiang Lingyi smiled slightly, with little smiles overflowing, Xi Yu turned her head and said in a low voice.

"What are you laughing at, I'm just a little bored, I want to find someone to play chess...you..." Remembering that Xing Xing was still in the house, he swallowed the complaint again.

"Han Xing, go find a piece of chess."

Jiang Lingyi ordered in a flat voice, but Zanxing frowned, and hesitated for a full three seconds before answering yes, which showed how worried she was about Xi Yu.

Seeing Jiang Lingyi's obedience to him, Xi Yu's face became hot.

"Are you... are you feeling better?"

It was rare for Xi Yu to care, and Jiang Lingyi didn't show too much resistance.

"It's okay, I can't die."

Looking at her peaceful appearance, Xi Yu felt strange in his heart.

He can't figure her out all the time.

Now that the Marquis of Weiyuan's Mansion has collapsed, it is reasonable to say that she can get out, but she insists on saving the Jiang family and go to the nunnery alone.

He thought she was using this pretense to make trouble again, but she seemed to be really sick.

too weird.

He can't see through this woman all the time.

She was fierce and ruthless. She had whipped him and used him, but she had also saved him and protected him by her side.

She always left as soon as she said, and would leave him at any time, but when he came looking for her, she always followed him and arranged everything in Beijing for him before leaving.

Xi Yu's heartbeat was in a mess, and the heart agitated by this complicated emotion could never find peace.

His gaze was so direct that Jiang Lingyi couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.

She raised her eyes and looked at him with a calm expression.

"What's the matter, what are you looking at me for?"

Xi Yu withdrew his gaze as if avoiding it, and denied it categorically.

"Who's looking at you, you sick child, you're so ugly."

Jiang Lingyi didn't bother to argue with him, and not long after, Zan Xing came back with Go.

Xi Yu was also polite, and crossed her legs on Jiang Lingyi's bed, and played chess with her just like that.

After a few innings, noon is approaching.

Zanxing brought the medicine into the house as usual, Jiang Lingyi dropped the medicine with one hand, and took the bowl with the other without blinking, and drank the bitter soup with tingling tongue.

Seeing her like this, Xi Yu fiddled with the chess pieces in his hand restlessly.

"What's wrong with you?"

"Syndrome of frailty." Jiang Lingyi said calmly.

"Back then, my mother moved her fetus when she was short of months. I was born in an abnormal position. I was born with insufficient energy. I was weak and sick since I was a child. The doctor said that I am not a long-lived person. If I take care of it carefully, I may not live long."

She spoke so calmly that Xi Yu couldn't tell the truth from the fake for a moment.

Jiang Lingyi was raised next to the Empress Dowager of the Southern Song Dynasty. Ordinary people can't find out about her. What's more, no one is willing to waste their thoughts on an orphan girl, even if she has received all the favors.

But, it's just a woman, who cares.

Seeing Xi Yu's doubts, Jiang Lingyi didn't continue talking. She dropped black pieces, looked at the winning position on the chessboard, and smiled slightly.

"I won again. The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva Sutra has three volumes. Thank you for your hard work." Jiang Lingyi smiled cunningly. She has the habit of copying Buddhist scriptures, and she often tormented Xi Yu with this matter. Xi Yu also copied a lot of Buddhist scriptures for her. .

Thinking of the densely packed words, Xi Yu threw down the chess pieces annoyedly, and stared at Jiang Lingyi rather childishly.

"Besides this matter, can you give me some other punishment! I think you should stay in this nunnery, ordained and become a nun."

"I'm already in the nunnery, three volumes, when the time comes, Zan Xing will read it, and I will ask you to copy every single word missing." Jiang Lingyi looked extraordinarily ruthless, and Xi Yu slapped the table angrily, walking with great noise, Don't forget to say it loudly before you leave.

"I shouldn't have come!"

The messy chess game on the table made Jiang Lingyi a little tired, the smile on her face faded, and she raised her hand to rub her forehead.

It wasn't until Hairpin walked in that she said softly.

"Let people be optimistic about him, don't make any mistakes."

The tone is calm, without any emotional color.

After Zan Xing answered yes, he removed the chessboard and put the food on the table, a cup of red dates and angelica soup, duck porridge, two dishes of green vegetables and a dish of soft boiled beef.

Simple, light, and what patients want to eat.

Jiang Lingyi paused emotionally, while Hairpin Xing said silently from the side.

"Sir will ask."

She knew what Jiang Lingyi wanted to say.

no appetite?

Sir will ask, so no.

Sure enough, Jiang Lingyi still picked up the chopsticks.
