In the previous life, she was fed to dogs by her elder sister, and she was reborn to seek revenge

A breeze blew by, and the plum blossom fragrance outside the carriage drifted in with the wind, blowing up the loose hair on Lin Qingye's temples.

Ye Tingxuan was so absorbed in watching for a moment that he didn't notice Yingyue and Cuixi who were already standing at the door of the carriage.

Cui Xi was holding a big bunch of plum blossoms in her hands at the moment, standing under the carriage somewhat awkwardly. She blinked her big eyes and asked Yingyue beside her curiously.

"Ayueer, are we still leaving?"

Although Cui Xi spoke very quietly, Lin Qing in the carriage still heard it. She pulled aside the carriage curtain and said in a huff.

"Your Majesty, since you are not prepared for an answer, please go back first. We have to hurry so as not to miss the time."

Ye Tingxuan looked at Lin Qingye, who had a blank expression on his face at the moment. Even though he was a little sad, he jumped off the carriage resolutely. When he passed by Yingyue, he whispered something to her.

"Take care of her for me."

After Ye Tingxuan left, Cui Xi immediately climbed onto the carriage. With an excited look on her face, she handed the freshly picked plum blossoms in her hand to Lin Qingye.

"Miss, Miss, come and smell it, the plum blossoms are so fragrant, it would be great if they were at home, I could dry them in the sun.

It would be great to make a sachet for the lady, or use it to fill a pillow."

Different from Cui Xi's excitement, Lin Qingye had no intention of appreciating the flowers at the moment. She stared blankly outside the carriage, still thinking carefully about what she had just said, wondering if she had hurt Ye Tingxuan.

Cui Xi seemed not to feel Lin Qingye's emotions at all. She continued chattering beside him.

When Cui Xi finally said she was tired, she leaned against Lin Qingye and fell asleep unknowingly. At this moment, the carriage finally became quiet.

Only then could Lin Qing really calm down and think carefully about the problems between her and Ye Tingxuan. In fact, before meeting Ye Tingxuan today, Lin Qing had already made up her mind.

Before this, she had already decided that she would never marry again in this life, and she would just live with Nan Mingyu for the rest of her life.

As long as they can find a way to take Nan Mingyu away from Kyoto, it doesn’t matter who poisoned her back then. Whether it was the Queen Mother or the Queen, they are both Ye Tingxuan’s closest relatives.

All Lin Qing could do was not to pursue the matter. She absolutely could not bear to face people who wanted to take her mother's life every day and still be submissive to them.

The more Lin Qing thought about it, the more he felt that it was time for him to stay away from Ye Tingxuan, before both of them got too deeply involved.

Just assume that she and Ye Tingxuan were truly not meant to be together. No matter in their previous life or this life, they would never be able to achieve a happy ending.

Thinking of this, Lin Qingye felt a pain in her heart, as if someone was holding her heart tightly in their hands. She took a deep breath, trying to ease her emotions that were on the verge of collapse.

The ups and downs of her body soon woke up Cui Xi who was standing beside her. Cui Xi sat up in a daze, then rubbed her eyes hard and asked suspiciously.

"Miss? Did you cry just now?"

At this moment, Lin Qingye only felt her throat tighten, as if something was blocking it, so she bit her lower lip tightly, and then swallowed hard twice, trying to relieve the discomfort.

But obviously, this was ineffective. The emotions she tried to swallow finally turned into tears, which rolled down her eye sockets in big drops. She spoke with a sob.

"Cui Xi...I want to drink..."

Even though Cui Xi's reaction was slow, she quickly realized that Lin Qingye was sad because of Ye Tingxuan. She immediately took out a handkerchief from her bosom and handed it to Lin Qingye, then began to search in the carriage.

Cui Xi soon found a small jar of wine, which was the green plum wine she had brewed herself in the summer. As soon as the jar was opened, the aroma of the wine instantly filled the carriage.

Cui Xi immediately and hurriedly handed the opened jar of wine to Lin Qingye, and she looked like she was about to pour all the wine into Lin Qingye's mouth.

Lin Qing was also quickly amused by Cui Xi's behavior. She immediately burst into laughter and said, "Xi'er, you act as if drinking this jar of wine can save my life."

When Cui Xi saw that Lin Qing finally laughed, she also laughed. She scratched the back of her head embarrassedly.

"I just... I just had a dream. I dreamed that you were crying. When I woke up, I saw that you were really crying. I was scared."

Lin Qing couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. He patted Cui Xi's forehead and said, "Silly girl!"

Cui Xi, however, was looking at the green plum wine in Lin Qingye's hand, swallowing her saliva eagerly and said, "Miss, please try this green plum wine and see if it tastes good. After you finish drinking it, give it to me too. It smells so good."

Yingyue, who was driving a carriage in front, obviously also smelled the aroma of wine. She immediately stopped the carriage by the roadside, then turned around and jumped into the carriage.

"I just heard you talking about wine. What kind of wine?"

Soon Yingyue's eyes fell on the jar of green plum wine in Lin Qingye's hand. She sniffed the air hard and then sighed.

"What a fragrant plum wine! Miss, can I have a taste too?"

Lin Qing looked helplessly at the two greedy people beside him, and Yingyue could hardly suppress her inner emotions at this moment. She swallowed hard and stared at the jar of wine in Lin Qingye's hand.

In the end, Lin Qing couldn't persuade the two of them. He took a small sip from the jar and immediately handed the jar to Cui Xi.

"Xier was the first one who said she wanted to drink, so Xier should drink first. After Xier finishes drinking, Yueer can drink."

After hearing this, Yingyue nodded her head like crazy, her little head nodding up and down. Then she urged Cuixi, "Xi'er, hurry up, drink less, and leave some for me."

In this way, the three of them, the master and the servant, stopped the carriage by the roadside, and soon finished the small jar of plum wine, taking a sip at a time.

At this moment, the three people who obviously had not drunk enough were sitting in the carriage staring at each other. They were waiting for the other two to speak first.

Finally, Yingyue couldn't stand it anymore. She smacked her lips and said to Lin Qingye, "Miss, the jar of wine was too small. I couldn't even taste what it tasted like, and it's gone..."

How about...we open another jar and drink it?"

Although what Yingyue said at this moment hit the mark exactly what Lin Qingye wanted, she still retorted in a pretentious manner.

"Will this be bad? What if we are delayed in our journey? And...if we have to meet the emperor later, it would not be good for the three of us to be drunk..."
