It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

Tianxiang Building has the softest mandarin duck pillow and the most precious soothing incense, but Yudie has lost count of the number of times she wakes up from nightmares with sweat and tears every night.

The years of living as an official lady seemed like a dream.The love of parents and elders, the intimacy of sisters in the boudoir, that is the most carefree and vigorous age for girls, chasing butterflies in the garden every day, or sitting in the water pavilion and playing a piano.

Now she still plucks the strings with her slender fingers, but it is no longer for herself.The young Wuling, who was full of quarrels, would spend a lot of money to see her. She lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, but her family members who couldn't think of it had already been smashed into yellow mud, and she refused to let herself dream.

Fortunately, the man I love so much often comes to visit.He is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, but he treats her with care and tenderness.Sometimes leaning on his shoulder, Jade Butterfly would think in a trance, is that all?Bury the past together, and stay in the most prestigious gold-selling cave in the capital, Wenrou Township, Fengyuechang, singing and singing every day, watching all kinds of people greet and send off.

Until the song "Liuzhou Getou", the young man with a pair of cold eyes stood in front of her, broke her illusion of self-narcotics, and told her the culprit who caused her family to die in vain.

The man she loved the most in her life.

Can she believe it?But she clearly knew with trembling that what the boy said was true.

She thanked him, thanked him for finally letting the truth that had accumulated dust over the years unfold before her eyes.She also hates him, why does he want to let himself know that the person next to her pillow is also the enemy who ruined her family and fell into a brothel.

Jade Butterfly drove people away with a pale face and got drunk.After waking up, continue to play the piano, continue to smile cleverly, continue to lie on that person's chest with irresistible love in my heart, continue to wake up in the long night with tears and wet pillow towels.

When you get drunk in the spring flowers and autumn moon, you will not realize that the floating life is passing by.After a long time, she saw the boy again with mixed feelings.He was leaving, and before he left, he just came to tell her: the case of Yu's family has been paid to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and there may be hope for justice.

It's like a dream, even in a dream, I dare not think about it.

Until the official document of rehabilitating the unjust case was actually posted, dozens of tombs were newly erected in the ancestral tomb of the Yu family.

The deed of prostitution was handed back to her, and Jade Butterfly tore it up without hesitation.The snow-colored confetti flying all over the sky are like white butterflies flying towards the sun in the wind.

She remembered that on the day the boy left, she had personally wished him: one day, his wish would come true.

……

Shen Jinghe read the letter in his hand, smiled, folded it carefully and took it back.

"What did Jade Butterfly say?" Liang Yan asked.

"The injustice case of the Yu family has finally been vindicated. Her father and brother who had been wronged and beheaded moved back to the ancestral tomb, and she can go to worship in a dignified manner in the future." Shen Jinghe felt a little emotional, "Girl Yu also left her lowly status. Leaving Tianxiang Building, I found a small place in the city to open a piano workshop."

Liang Yan was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "What about the third prince?"

Shen Jinghe's face was calm: "Although she left Tianxiang Tower, Shen Zhuomin still went to the Qinfang to see her every now and then, and sometimes he would rest there when it was late. You and I both know that Miss Yu has a deep affection for him, even hate, but hate cannot simply kill love."

"If love could be easily canceled out, there wouldn't be so many people in pain in the world. Sometimes it takes only one glance to fall in love, but what remains is an unforgettable memory for a lifetime."

Liang Yan seemed to respond with words, but also seemed to mean something.

Shen Jinghe took his hand and squeezed it lightly, everything was said in silence.

Liang Yan asked again: "Do you think your third brother really has feelings for her?"

"Shen Zhuomin hides everything in his heart, I can't see it, but he probably has a certain degree of doting on him." Shen Jinghe said, "It's just that as a nobleman of the Tian family, sincerity is nothing in front of many things... ...He will go to Miss Yu frequently, and I think it is inseparable from the fact that the Qinfang is quiet and convenient for secret meetings with courtiers. After all, Miss Yu has been with him for many years, and she is just a Qin Ji, who would deliberately guard against her?"

Liang Yan thought of something and sighed.

"Thinking about it this way, she must have gone through a lot of painful struggles in her heart when she was able to pick up the pen and write this letter to you."

Shen was shocked and silent.Although this letter only briefly mentioned the matter of Yujia and Yudie, everyone knew that it was not just a letter, but more of an attitude.

"She is very strong, has her own thinking, and dares to take responsibility." Shen Jinghe said softly, "It is said that women are weak, but I feel that once they have made up their minds, sometimes they are more decisive than men Courage."

Liang Yan patted his head.

"By the way, I suddenly remembered that Fifth Brother just said at the end of the letter that the emperor has suffered from a bit of cold recently?" Shen Jinghe asked.

Liang Yan glanced back at the end of the letter: "After the imperial doctor entered the palace for diagnosis, they all said that it was a minor illness contracted by the cold weather. It's not serious, but it's just a matter of age, and the recovery will be slower."

"Then Shen Zhuomin had better pray that the rumors in the capital don't reach the emperor's ears right now." Shen Jinghe smiled slightly, "Once a person gets old, the most feared thing is getting sick, let alone the emperor of a country. This disease, get nervous, Inevitably more suspicious."

He turned his eyes to the sky again, chasing the end of the flowing clouds, "Brother Huang is proud of the spring breeze, but he didn't know that the mountains and rains are about to come."

Liang Yan rarely spoke, and when Shen Jinghe realized the long silence and turned his head, he slowly raised his face, unable to tell what expression was on his face.

"The emperor is in a state of illness, and there are rumors in Beijing about the third prince's slaves using power to hurt others. Not to mention that he was too out of fashion earlier, some old officials who are conservative are already faintly dissatisfied. Maybe... it's time for you to go back .”

Shen Jinghe's pupils dilated slightly, he opened his mouth, but didn't answer, but his eyes turned to the orange-red and brilliant lingxiaohua that climbed the bamboo fence.

At that time, he ran across it by the side of the road, but casually praised it, there are flowers blooming so enthusiastically in winter.In a few days, Liang Yan personally got a plant for him and planted it beside the bamboo fence. After two days of meticulous care, the wilted flower finally raised its flower buds tremblingly, slowly budding and blooming, warm like fire. The color blooms half the courtyard wall.

Every brick, every tile, every bamboo and every stone in this courtyard, there are traces of Liang Yan's rearrangement and decoration everywhere.I never asked him a question specifically, but everything was in line with my own wishes.Shen Jinghe could really feel Liang Yan's satisfaction and joy in the current life from the bottom of his heart, even he himself often felt that if there really was a paradise, it would just be what it looks like now.

This is their home, a small home that only belongs to the two of them. It is rooted in this land of Nanyue, where the sky is bright, the water is beautiful, the people are simple and honest, and through sweat and struggle, they have gradually moved from poverty to hope.

But now, Liang Yan opened his mouth one step ahead.

Shen Jinghe looked at him.

"I thought you liked life in South Vietnam very much."

Liang Yan recalled the details of such a long time, and there was a gentle smile in his deep eyes.

"I like it. The young crops from Wushan and Yishan, the tea fragrance from Dongmoushan, the sea breeze from Bolang Bay, and the snacks you took me to taste at the temple fair. It seems that I have been wandering around for most of my life. Fighting, rarely have such simple, happy and stable days as now, fade away the gold and iron horses on the battlefield and the undercurrents of the court, and wake up every day to see only your peaceful sleeping face."

"I like it, but not because of Nanyue, but because of you."

Liang Yan slowly retracted his smile, and thousands of words flowed into poems in his deep eyes.But he only prudently and solemnly let go of the words that have been hot from his heart to his lips, and hold them in front of another heart.

"If your life's wish is to spread your wings and move through the clouds, and be a proud crane, then treat me as the sharpest sword in your hand, and break through the wind, frost and thunder for you."

"Liang Yan..."

Someone is willing to turn the sword in his hand, someone is willing to swing the clouds for him, and someone is willing to lead him through the wind and snow.

There was someone who he had waited for two lifetimes, separated by mountains and seas, and was finally lucky enough to meet him.

Shen Jinghe's eyes felt slightly hot, he closed his eyes, stretched out his arms and hugged Liang Yan tightly with all his strength.The two hearts clinging to each other on the chest seem to be pulled by the rushing blood, and the vigorous agitation sounds as if they are consciously merged into one, and the intimacy seems to be one.

"You are not the sword in my hand, you are the most important love in my life, Shen Jinghe."

In winter, at the beginning of November, when the emperor was slightly ill, the six princes went up to ask for peace, and Chen Nanyue opened up mountains and opened fields, learned literature and built roads, and there were no pirates along the coast.

In the same year, Sui Yan traveled thousands of miles to deliver an edict ordering the six princes to return to Beijing.At that time, there was a stele published by officials crying tears, and the people of South Vietnam sent them off, pouring wine and burning incense, and there were endless people who kowtowed to cover the way.

……

The rumbling sound stopped, and the convoy stopped at a post station hidden in the woods.

This place is about [-] miles away from the capital. From the east gate of the post station, it is divided into two roads.The avenue is made of stone slabs and square bricks. It is gentle and long, and it is specially designed for carriages.The path is a bit rough and the middle path is narrow, but the distance is shorter.

Shen Jinghe jumped out of the carriage with Liang Yanzhan's hand, but did not immediately walk into the post station, but came to a carriage behind and tapped lightly on the wall of the carriage.

Xiao Ning seemed to have been waiting for a long time. He lifted the curtain of the car and poked his head out. When he spoke, his mouth was white because of the cold weather.

"Are you there? I'm going to get off here?"

Shen Jinghe smiled and nodded.

When Liang Yan and Shen Jinghe left Nanyue and returned to Beijing, they also took Xiao Ningshun with them.Although Xiao Ning sometimes seems a bit rough, his first-hand medical skills are really nothing to say.With the blessing of his soup and medicine, he escorted him all the way to the north without stopping. Although everyone in the convoy was a little tired, none of them caught cold in the winter.

Long before departure, Shen Jinghe once had a private conversation with him alone.Xiao Ning still remembered what Shen Jinghe said at the time:

"After you return to Beijing, if you want to find a place to settle down, you can go to the Xuanhutang in Yujie to get a consultation. I asked someone to inquire about it. Although this medical clinic is not as long-established as those century-old Xinglin families, the owner of the clinic is benevolent. The only thing you need is medical skills. You stay there, and you only need to do what you like with peace of mind every day, without getting involved in a lot of unnecessary troubles."

Those beautiful eyes looked at him earnestly, and the sincerity inside couldn't be mistaken.

Where there are people, there will be disputes, framing, and selfishness, not to mention those medical families with many factions and high reputations.Xiao Ning wanted to stay in Beijing for a long time, so it was impossible for others to see him wherever he went like before. In fact, he had already made preparations in his heart to meet the undercurrent.

But there is a person who has arranged everything for him in advance before he has said a word, and has found a path for him that can best realize his ambition.He once said that he wants to be a Xinglin master who is better than Bian Que, but only one person listened and believed it.

And that person is sitting in front of him with concern right now, so close that when he lowers his head, he can see his own reflection in his eyes.

"it is good."

Xiao Ning heard his own voice coming softly, after a half moment of silence.

Shen Jinghe on the opposite side laughed relaxedly. He might not know that when he smiled, his brows were very soft, and his eyes were like crooked little moons, which made people like him from the bottom of his heart.

"By the way, there is one more thing...get out of the car before you arrive at the capital, and hurry up and enter the capital along the small road." Seeing the momentary fluctuation in his eyes, Shen Jinghe quickly explained, "If you go back to the capital with me, you will definitely Being watched by people. The danger around me will only become more and more dangerous in the future. You should avoid this trip in muddy water. If you meet me in the future, you have the right to just pretend that you don’t know me.”

What did he do after he left that day?

——It seems that I didn't do anything, just leaned against the window, looked at the moon in the far sky, and stayed silent for a long time.

dong dong.

Shen Jinghe knocked on the wall of the car again, looking at the young genius doctor in front of him in a daze.

"What's the matter, are you still reluctant to leave?"

Xiao Ning lowered his head, looking at himself with a strange expression for a moment.Shen Jinghe suspected that his eyes were dazzled, and in the blink of an eye again, a distorted smile appeared on that suave face again.

"I'm a little bit reluctant. What about you, will you be reluctant to leave me after I leave?"

Xiao Ning spoke briskly, jumped out of the car in a hurry, blinked at Shen Jinghe, and seemed afraid of hearing the answer, before he opened his mouth, he led the horse and strode towards the path.

Shen Jinghe stared blankly at the back of him getting on the horse, and subconsciously took two steps forward to say goodbye, but Xiao Ning had already galloped away with the whip.

The fluttering clothes disappeared at the end of the road with the wind, leaving only a chaotic sentence Zhang Yang lingered for a long time:

"Remember, this genius doctor is born rebellious, does what he wants, and prefers to fight against others. His Highness the Sixth Highness taught me to be independent, so please forgive me for coming here uninvited in this troubled water!"
