I can't, I can't

Sheng Lingyu didn't respond, he just stood there and looked over from afar.

The distance between the two is very long, Kang Jiangxue clearly knew that Sheng Lingyu was looking at her, but as for what kind of expression Sheng Lingyu had at that moment...

He couldn't make out anyhow.

So Kang Jiangxue asked again: "Sheng Lingyu, when did you come?"

Sheng Lingyu still didn't respond, Kang Jiangxue gradually approached him, suddenly feeling uneasy.

He knew the reason why Sheng Lingyu appeared here was just like himself, rushing here for Sheng Lingxi, but he didn't know when Sheng Lingyu came, and whether he heard the conversation between him and Fu Hongyao.

Kang Jiangxue knew very well in her heart that there was nothing wrong with what he said just now, and she was not afraid of being heard by Sheng Lingyu, but for some reason, he just felt flustered for no reason.

He didn't want to be heard by Sheng Lingyu.

He was afraid of being heard by Sheng Lingyu.

Kang Jiangxue quickened her pace, wanting to see Qingsheng Lingyu's face. At this moment, the cold wind picked up again, and snowflakes scattered all over the sky from the gloomy sky. The winter wind brought a lost snowflake into the small The emperor's eye sockets fascinated his eyes.

A heavy snow.

Kang Jiangxue blinked, and the snowflakes melted in his eyes, making them moist.

He finally came to Sheng Lingyu, trying to see Sheng Lingyu's eyes clearly, but at this time another figure poked his head out from the door of the hall and said: "Your Majesty, Miss Sheng woke up and said that she wanted to see Sheng—Master Sheng Also? Then..."

The unremarkable news disturbed the two of them, before Kang Jiangxue had time to say anything, Sheng Lingyu turned her head and entered the hall.

In the end, Kang Jiangxue failed to meet Sheng Lingyu's eyes, and stood outside the door alone, not knowing whether to continue to follow.

Perhaps no outsiders should be present for the long-delayed reunion of siblings.But when he didn't see it, the little emperor's heart felt empty, making him almost inexplicably terrified.

Kang Jiangxue hesitated for a while, just when he finally decided to wait for Sheng Lingyu to come out at the door and leave together, two palace servants who came out of the door suddenly ran towards him.The palace servants hurriedly saluted in front of the little emperor, and said: "Your Majesty, the eldest princess invites you to discuss matters in the Hall of Mental Cultivation."

Kang Jiangxue glanced at the hall, frowned and said, "Now?"

Gong Ren said: "Yes, many officials have come to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and they are all waiting for His Majesty."

Such a battle, obviously something big happened, Kang Jiangxue had to concentrate and said: "What happened?"

The palace man said concisely: "Shizi Yang has returned triumphantly."

Yang Shizi is talking about Yang Huo, who has been ordered to catch traitors outside these days.The word "triumph" flashed in Kang Jiangxue's mind, and her heart beat like thunder: "You mean... the traitor was caught?"

The palace man said happily: "Go back to Your Majesty, I have caught it."

Kang Jiangxue asked again: "Caught them all?"

Gong Ren said: "Yes, the eight leading thieves including Yang Xian have all been arrested."

Of the eight chief thieves, Sheng Lingyu's father, Xie Cheng'an, was naturally included. Kang Jiangxue's heart skipped a beat, and she couldn't control it anymore.

Xie Cheng'an was caught, how would Sheng Lingyu feel?

Afterwards, Xie Cheng'an was dragged to Ling Chi and executed...

How would Sheng Lingyu feel?

Kang Jiangxue's heart was in a mess, and the palace servants didn't know this, so they continued to ask cautiously, "Your Majesty?"

Kang Jiangxue regained her senses and knew that she had to go on this trip. Before leaving, Kang Jiangxue and others warned: "Don't tell Mr. Sheng about the traitor."

The palace people responded one after another, Kang Jiangxue stared at Luoxia Palace for a long time, and finally left together with nothing unusual.

He didn't take a good look at Sheng Lingyu just now, and when he came back from the Hall of Mental Cultivation at night, he would definitely have a talk with Sheng Lingyu.

When the time comes, don't yell at him, don't get angry at him, just speak normally.

……

It is not the first time for Sheng Lingxi to wake up. These days, she often wakes up and wakes up. Except for the time of drinking medicine and eating, she is mostly in a drowsy state.

When she was in a daze, she would always call Sheng Lingyu, but every time she called, no one answered her. Even if she struggled to reach out, she just waved it in the air and got nothing.

This time, during Sheng Lingxi's rare waking hours, she saw a shadow in front of her bed, watching her beside her without saying anything.

What day is this?third day?fifth day?Or the seventh day?Sheng Lingxi couldn't remember the days, but she finally saw this person, she called her brother, and rushed towards Sheng Lingyu without hesitation.

After hugging Sheng Lingyu, Sheng Lingxi let out a cry like a hiss before Sheng Lingyu made any sound. She cried, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

This weak girl who endured more pain than others did not blame Sheng Lingyu at all from the beginning to the end.

She didn't mention Sheng Lingyu's intercession to Xie Cheng'an, nor did she ask why Sheng Lingyu didn't come to see her these days.

She just kept apologizing.

Because of her uselessness, because of her weakness, because she held Sheng Lingyu back, and because of her, Sheng Lingyu had the tendon in her right hand broken.

She is such a girl, like their common mother.

but……

Sheng Lingxi did nothing wrong.

It was never about her.

Sheng Lingyu slowly stretched out her left hand and hugged her sister's slender body.

Sheng Lingxi was shocked, and then cried even harder. She seemed to pour out all her emotions in the sound of crying, as if she had only Sheng Lingyu to rely on in the world.

Listening to her crying, Sheng Lingyu felt that she should say something, do something, or he should cry together.

But at this moment, he felt nothing.

He seemed to be separated from all reality, separated from his own body, floating in the air, and indifferently watched another person who was born like himself hug his sister.

Everything is slow and far away.

Hollow, dull.

For a very long time, Sheng Lingyu thought...he was either crazy or dead.

Sheng Lingxi cried for a long time, but she didn't get a response. She finally realized something was wrong, sobbing back, she called out, "Brother?"

Sheng Lingyu looked at her slowly, her almost motionless pupils made Sheng Lingxi tremble suddenly, Sheng Lingxi raised her volume and shouted hoarsely, but Sheng Lingyu was still in a trance, Sheng Lingxi was about to collapse, and raised her hand to Sheng Lingyu with all her strength. hand.

with a snap.

Sheng Lingyu's face turned to one side.

Sheng Lingxi's tears were like broken beads. Finally, Sheng Lingyu had a reaction. Under Sheng Lingxi's tearful gaze, this person touched his face very slowly, and said: "Lingxi... ..."

Sheng Lingxi cried and nodded, and heard Sheng Lingyu say: "It hurts so much."

I don't know if she was talking about her face or other places, Sheng Lingyu's voice was light and light, without any weight, she said over and over again: "I'm in so much pain."

……

After lighting the lamp at night, Sheng Lingyu left Luoxia Palace alone.

The goose-feather snow didn't stop, until it fell into the night to the height of half the calf, and people stepped on the snow, creaking and creaking.

The palace people handed Sheng Lingyu an umbrella, but Sheng Lingyu didn't take it, and let the snowflakes fly and fall on his head.

After walking to the palace road, a figure came straight up, he looked like an ordinary middle-aged eunuch, and when he arrived in front of Sheng Lingyu, the man bowed and handed a silver sign.

Sheng Lingyu didn't respond, she skipped him and walked straight forward, the man was stunned for a moment, then hurried up a few steps to catch up, and said in a low voice: "Master Sheng said that Mr. Sheng may need this item at this moment, you might as well take a closer look at it. .”

Hearing the words "Shi Zi Ye", Sheng Lingyu finally stopped and said in a low voice, "...Yang Huo?"

The eunuch didn't dare to call Yang Huo's name directly, but just nodded, Sheng Lingyu finally set his sights on the silver medal, after a glance, he took the plaque and held it in the air.

It is a pass card, which is used by serious criminals to visit prisons.

visit...

No one had ever told Sheng Lingyu about it, but after seeing the brand, there was no need to say anything.

Sheng Lingyu was silent for a while, and asked, "What does he want?"

The eunuch replied: "My son and his friends, it's just a favor."

Sheng Lingyu seemed to have never heard of it, left the eunuch who wanted to talk more, and left without saying a word. On the way, he met Eunuch Qian again, and Sheng Lingyu ignored him. Back, out of the palace gate...

Into the state prison.

With this pass, Sheng Lingyu was not blocked at all along the way, and he walked unimpeded, except that he stopped suddenly before he came to Xie Chengan's cell.

Sheng Lingyu didn't care why Yang Huo offered him this favor, because no matter what the reason was, he would come.

He always has to look at this man.

Look at this traitor, this mother-killing enemy, this man who hugged him and taught him to read and called him his father.

Sheng Lingyu took a step. Behind the wooden prison door and the three iron chains, there was a figure lying on the straw pile with his back facing him. The underground prison was so cold that people's teeth chattered, and no one would light it up for serious prisoners. The charcoal fire, the man seemed to have been there for a long time, it was extremely cold, shivering, and turned around between tossing and turning, revealing a haggard, stubble-covered face.

I don't know what method this person used when he was captured, and he went through several times of torture. His whole body was dirty and he was in a state of embarrassment. At first glance, he was daunting and disgusting.

Once upon a time, Xie Chengan was also a handsome gentleman who was famous in the imperial city for his appearance and talent, but in the end he betrayed his country, betrayed his family, killed his wife and abandoned his son...

It ended up like this.

Sheng Lingyu stared at him indifferently, and the jailer who led him in asked, "Master Sheng, do you want to open the prison door?"

Sheng Lingyu didn't respond, the jailer thought for a while and opened the door lock, said "My lord, hurry up" and backed away winkingly.

The sound of the door opening disturbed Xie Cheng'an, and the man nestled in the straw suddenly opened his eyes. He looked at Sheng Lingyu, shocked at first, then mixed with doubt and ecstasy, struggling to get up as if seeing hope.The man excitedly said: "Lingyu?!...Why are you here? You are not dead yet? You are not dead!?"

You are not dead yet, on the occasion of reunion, this should be such a joyful sentence, but Sheng Lingyu is in a daze.

Sheng Lingyu thought: So Xie Chengan knew, he knew that leaving his children in Beijing would be a dead end.

But he never cared.

Xie Cheng'an still remembered that when he fled, he brought his illegitimate son who was raised outside, but he and Lingxi, and the lives of the entire Sheng family were left behind early in the morning.

why?
