I can't, I can't

"..."

Kang Jiangxue fell into a deathly silence, and then, endless embarrassment and shame swept over like a tornado.The little emperor opened his mouth and turned into a screaming chicken whose stomach was held down.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! !

He can't live!

Let him die!Let him die!

Kang Jiangxue wanted to explode on the spot. At the same time, Sheng Lingyu, who was leaving, passed through the inner courtyard of Zhengyang Palace silently, avoided the guards guarding the palace, and climbed over the vermilion high wall.

The high wall was more than two meters high, and Sheng Lingyu landed lightly and delicately without making the slightest sound.After landing, he didn't leave in a hurry, but raised his head unconsciously, staring at the vermilion wall separating the inside and outside of Zhengyang Palace in a daze.

Sheng Lingyu didn't know why he would do this. According to the Sheng family's family education, he shouldn't have acted in such a sneaky way. Still made such a choice after hesitation.

It shouldn't.

Sheng Lingyu wanted to introspect, but his heart was immersed in a wave of fluctuations and he couldn't calm down. He was completely lost in thought, he didn't think about anything, he only heard the sound of his own heartbeat growing louder in the dark night——

Thumping, grotesque and out of place.

Nor should it.

Sheng Lingyu stood still for a long time, and everything around him seemed to be far away from him. I don't know if he delayed for too long. When he turned his head to recover, he suddenly heard a faint sound of footsteps coming from his ears.

The footsteps seemed to come from a passing female officer, so low and light that Sheng Lingyu didn't notice it immediately when he was in a trance, and when he wanted to dodge to avoid it, it was too late to completely dodge, and he still couldn't help being swept into a shadow by the palace lantern in the woman's hand.

Sheng Lingyu's eyebrows twitched slightly, feeling a little regretful, but before he could decide whether to explain or leave quickly, a familiar voice said before him: "Mr. Sheng?"

It was an acquaintance.

Sheng Lingyu didn't expect to run into other people, and Zhang Jianshui who called out did not expect that she would run into Sheng Lingyu in the middle of the night.

After calling someone to stop, Zhang Jianshui was more obviously confused than Sheng Lingyu. She glanced at the palace wall of Zhengyang Palace, and couldn't understand why Sheng Lingyu was here.

Knowing Sheng Lingyu's character, Zhang Jianshui did not think that Sheng Lingyu would come out over the wall, only as if Sheng Lingyu was passing by here. here.

Zhang Jianshui felt that he shouldn't ask too many questions, but because he cared too much, he still couldn't help asking: "Master... but who did you go to see?"

Sheng Lingyu didn't respond directly, but was silent. This moment of silence was equivalent to acquiescence. Zhang Jianshui's heart sank, and he asked again: "Is it the person that Mr. Sheng mentioned last time? Is that person in the palace?"

The girl from the Zhang family had a clear mind and bright eyes, and Sheng Lingyu knew that she couldn't hide it, so she didn't want to hide it, so she just replied calmly: "Yes."

Zhang Jianshui's heart sank, and he asked uncontrollably: "...Could it be because of her that Mr. Sheng entered the palace?"

This question came strangely and suddenly, but it hit the point. After being silent, Sheng Lingyu nodded.Zhang Jianshui suddenly became dumb, and a sour pain could not help but well up in his heart.

Zhang Jianshui has not seen Sheng Lingyu for a long time since the last time she and Sheng Lingyu expressed their feelings and were rejected.

When she heard from others that Sheng Lingyu joined the Forbidden Army, she was surprised for a long time and always found it difficult to understand, but at this moment, she suddenly realized that it was not that she had misremembered Sheng Lingyu's ambition, but that Sheng Lingyu finally chose to enter for other reasons. palace.

For that person, Sheng Lingyu could do this?Are you not even afraid that you will be trapped in this palace for the rest of your life?

Zhang Jianshui had nothing to say, and when she reacted again, there was only a wry smile left without trace, she sighed softly: "Sure enough, he is the one you like, I am talking too much."

Zhang Jianshui sighed softly, exhaled all the stagnation in his chest, and did not intend to continue to explore.But Sheng Lingyu paused for these words, and suddenly said: "It's not the person I like."

Not your crush?

Zhang Jianshui was slightly stunned, obviously he didn't think that Sheng Lingyu could do this for someone who had nothing to do with him, but Sheng Lingyu was a gentleman and would never lie, Zhang Jianshui was stunned for a moment, and said slowly: "I made a mistake , but please rest assured, Mr. Sheng, I will never mention the meeting tonight with others."

Zhang Jianshui bowed and saluted, and passed Sheng Lingyu with a palace lantern.Sheng Lingyu got the promise, so he should be relieved, but Zhang Jianshui's words disturbed his thoughts, his heart was in a mess, and he suddenly called out to stop Zhang Jianshui.

Sheng Lingyu asked: "Miss Zhang...why do you think so?"

Why... Do you feel that he is going to meet the person he likes?

Zhang Jianshui felt that this question was really strange, but she didn't ask back, just thought about it, and replied lightly: "Because the young master laughed."

Zhang Jianshui's voice seemed to be lonely, but also like a sigh. She looked into Sheng Lingyu's eyes and said calmly: "Before I called you, I saw you smiling. This is the first time I've known you for so long. Seeing you smiling like this. Mr. Sheng always treats everyone with a polite look. I thought you would never be so happy and show off your face like this. Maybe it was because of this that I made a mistake. Xu Shiyuan was my mistake, no matter what, I hope Mr. Sheng will not mind."

Sheng Lingyu did not speak, and his voice remained silent in the night.

Zhang Jianshui looked directly at Sheng Lingyu's face, trying to see Sheng Lingyu's expression clearly, but Sheng Lingyu did not show any of the surprised or concealed expressions she thought.He just stood there without saying a word. Finally, Sheng Lingyu looked up at the palace wall and said to himself: "That's it."

Zhang Jianshui didn't understand, but when she suddenly saw Sheng Lingyu's silhouette as lonely as her, she suddenly felt that it might be good to not understand.

It turned out that there was still such a person after all.

It's not her after all.

***

After meeting Sheng Lingyu that night, Kang Jiangxue had a terrible time.

He lived up to expectations and got a sequelae that might be so embarrassing to pick out a little jade with his feet at any time because of thinking of a certain memory.When eating, writing, walking, stroking rabbits, and even sleeping until midnight, Kang Jiangxue would suffer from leg cramps due to the embarrassing operation that night so embarrassing that her mother didn't even recognize her.

The little emperor was so embarrassed, the more he thought about it, the more he felt ashamed to see Sheng Lingyu. In order to survive, he simply stayed behind closed doors in Zhengyang Hall for two days.

But although Kang Jiangxueren didn't go out, he still missed Sheng Lingyu in his heart. He happily changed the rope for the jade rabbit pendant Sheng Lingyu gave him, and hung it around his neck. He looked in the mirror from time to time, and he was worried that Sheng Lingyu would not see He would continue to worry about his physical condition, and Kang Jiangxue also specifically asked Haitang to go out for a walk during Sheng Lingyu's patrol time, and give Sheng Lingyu a reassuring look if he had the opportunity.

Kang Jiangxue planned well, but the idea died at the beginning of the second day. Haitang went to the pavilion as usual, but Sheng Lingyu, who was supposed to patrol on time, did not come.

After hearing the report, Kang Jiangxue was very surprised: "...Are you sure he didn't come?"

Haitang replied: "I'm sure, the slaves have watched it several times, and there is no Mr. Sheng in that team."

Sheng Lingyu is a person who will never neglect his duties. Now that he has joined the Forbidden Army, he will never be lazy in violation of regulations. Kang Jiangxue asked worriedly: "Is he sick? Does he blow too much cold wind? I heard that patrols can last for a long time. tired."

Haitang disapproved very much: "Mr. Sheng's body needs to be bathed in cold water every day. It's fine. It's easy to be fine. It's different from our Majesty."

Kang Jiangxue choked up: "...you talk as soon as you talk, why are you teasing me?"

Kang Jiangxue really wanted to piss off this little girl, but she was so blocked at this moment that she couldn't speak, because he was really hit by Haitang's words, since the cold wind blew for a while when she was talking with Sheng Lingyu at the window that day, Kang Jiangxue Jiangxue had a runny nose the next day.

It was so unfortunate that he really caught a cold.

Kang Jiangxue sighed, and decided that adults should not care too much about the little girl, so she just continued to ask, "Then you didn't ask him why he didn't come?"

Haitang said: "I asked, this servant is about to tell His Majesty about this."

Kang Jiangxue urged: "Hurry up! It's just a matter of time."

Haitang was forced to laugh by the little emperor, laughed a few times before saying: "I asked, and the imperial army said that they don't know why Mr. Sheng didn't come."

"..." Being betrayed by Haitang, Kang Jiangxue thought he could get a definite reason, but unexpectedly, he was so angry that Haitang started laughing again, begging for mercy while laughing.

"Your Majesty, don't be angry. The slaves haven't finished talking yet. They really don't know why Mr. Sheng didn't come, but according to them, it seems that Mr. Sheng shouldn't have come."

Kang Jiangxue didn't understand for a moment: "What does this mean?"

Haitang said: "Your Majesty knows the identity of Mr. Sheng. He has a good family background, and he is both civil and military. Although his rank in the Imperial Army is not high, it is not low enough. He does need to patrol, but the route assigned is actually It's very short and doesn't take too much time. The slaves have asked before, the route to Zhengyang Palace is the farthest among the imperial army, it takes time and suffers, and it is easy to bump into dignitaries, many people don't want to take responsibility Here, Mr. Sheng didn't know what he was thinking, he offered to replace someone else, and the exchange of routes continued until recently, and he only changed back yesterday."

After saying this, Kang Jiangxue still didn't know why Sheng Lingyu didn't come suddenly, but the information that followed took hold of his heart.

He didn't know until now that it was not a coincidence that Sheng Lingyu passed by Zhengyang Palace every day, but that person exchanged it on his own initiative.

Sheng Lingyu traveled such a long way, blowing the wind for so long, why he knew clearly why, Kang Jiangxue was filled with this knowledge, couldn't hold back her joy, but she didn't bother to ask too much, she was sure Sheng Lingyu If you are sick, put it aside for the time being.

Immediately afterwards, the little emperor's birthday was approaching, and Kang Jiangxue felt sad that Zha Gong was about to get together. The emperor's birthday has arrived as promised with an irresistible gesture.
