Half-dead paulownia

(Mei Pavilion in Lingkuo Cave)

I don't want to miss a single word, I don't want to miss a paragraph of details, as if I was also in the accident that year, terrified and in pain, but what's more, it's the heart that is about to be discarded at any time. Uneasy.

A ray of sunlight in the morning pierced into the window casement without warning, so dazzling and melancholy, endowing all things with brilliance, leaving only the residual flowers in the dark corners, struggling hard.

I don't know whether to be worried about Anling Yuhao's distress, or to be grateful for Feng'er, who will be remembered by him all his life because of it. At this moment, Ling Zining is completely flustered. After reading Ziye's narration, who knows how much courage it takes to accept this secret that no one knows.

The breeze was blowing, and it seemed to be mixed with the early morning moisture, carrying a trace of coldness. Under the delicate face, some messy hair fluttered restlessly on the forehead, and the slender and thick eyelashes were also affected by the cold air. Like dotted with crystal water drops, misty and rainy.

"Princess, do you look a little uncomfortable?" Ziye suddenly sensed Ling Zining's abnormality, and couldn't help asking worriedly.

"It's okay... Maybe I got a little bit of cold, it's okay." Ling Zining replied absent-mindedly.

"I just heard so much from me, how much is it credible?" Ziye asked again.

"Of course, these are just rumors among the people. In my opinion, they are all false rumors. They must not be taken seriously. Could it be that a sensible person like Zi Ye wouldn't believe these meaningless rumors?" Even if Ning knows it well, he will definitely not let this history spread. Firstly, he is a prince and he is his concubine. Naturally, he should consider his reputation. This will only make people who are interested As a handle to eradicate dissidents, on the other hand, it is naturally for himself. Once these incidents spread, Anling Yuhao will inevitably fall into painful memories again. What if Xiao Jinmo is really Xiao Feng'er back then? The development of the future will not be so in control, so Ling Zining has to try his best to explain this matter.

"According to the imperial concubine's wishes, are all these rumors false?" Zi Ye asked suspiciously.

"Nine times out of ten, what you hear is not true. Surely Zi Ye doesn't understand this truth?" Zi Ning replied cleverly.

"But as the saying goes, where there is no wind, there are no waves. Since everyone said that, something must have happened. For example, the person named Xiao Feng'er was said to have not died. What does the imperial concubine think?" Zi Ye sneered. .

"Ridiculous! It's hard to tell whether the matter is true or not, let alone the person who was rumored to have saved the prince." Ling Zining's angry expression after being too excited.

"As for the truth, the imperial concubine knows better than I do. Unexpectedly, I heard that that person is really not dead, but also changed his name. I don't know if this is credible?" Ling Zining seemed to understand everything but didn't mention a word.

"Midnight, it's better not to discuss these things. After all... After all, we are not the parties involved. As for what happened that year, we are just outsiders. It is useless to talk about it. Besides, I am not in good health and want to go back to my room to rest." Zi Ning really She was already powerless to resist, facing Zi Ye's questioning, she was already in a state of confusion, fearing that if it was delayed for too long, she would affirm the doubt in her heart, and now she just wanted to escape, not thinking too much.

"Since the imperial concubine is not feeling well, she should go back to her room to recuperate well, and remember not to bother her mind too much." Zi Ye seemed to be emphasizing on purpose.

"I'm worried about Lao Ziye, Zi Ning thank you here, then I will leave first." Zi Ning responded politely, but his heart was restless.

"But there is one more thing..." Ziye hesitated to speak.

"Huh? I wonder if Ziye has other things to do?" Zi Ning asked curiously.

"I think the imperial concubine must have known about Ling Zhuoxi and Xiao Jinmo's departure, right?" Ziye said straight to the point.

"Well, I just heard what Liu Meng said, so I'm not sure yet." Zi Ning quickly responded.

"Then you came to Anling Yuhao's room in such a hurry to inform him about this, right?" Ziye looked at Ling Zining again with weird eyes.

Ling Zining hates that kind of eyes, that kind of expression, that kind of tone, there is always a feeling of déjà vu, whenever this happens, she will feel a pain of suffocation, depressed and restless, as if completely exposed to the Like others, she doesn't have any secrets. It's like knowing all the manipulators. She has no choice but to accept this feeling. Ling Zining is on the verge of collapse. To the carefree past.

"Well, yes, you are right, of course I have to notify Anling Yuhao, I definitely have to notify him..." Ling Zining seemed to have realized how weak her tone was at this moment, Only the cry from the bottom of my heart.

"I just came in and found you in his room, and you looked so nervous, I thought you might know the news that Xiao Jinmo and the others were leaving, so you came here to inform Anling Yuhao!" Ziye looked a little proud .

"Well... that's true." Ling Zining almost didn't want to stay in the room for a moment.

"But don't worry, I have already informed Anling Yuhao before you came, we have both talked here for so long, I guess they should have a result." Ziye suddenly smiled, as if What an amazing thing you did.

"What? You have already notified Anling Yuhao?" Ling Zining exclaimed.

"That's right, don't thank me too much, I've always been willing to help others." Zi Ye seemed to be begging for a compliment.

"Does Anling Yuhao already know?" Ling Zining didn't continue to answer Ziye's words, but instead muttered to himself, his eyes seemed to be even more sad, and he turned around and wanted to leave.

"Some things should not be made too complicated. If you want to take back a person's heart, the best way is to completely become the person in his heart." Ziye suddenly passed a sentence, without saying anything clearly, but Ling Zining, who was in a state of confusion at the moment, woke up little by little.

"Turn into that person..." Ling Zining's eyes flashed a light.

(outside the cave)

The stream is gurgling, the mist is heavy, and the vastness you look at is replaced by flowers and brocades. Only in the morning and evening, things have changed.

"Xiao Jinmo, have you really made up your mind to go with me?" Ling Zhuoxi reconfirmed at the entrance of the cave.

"Well, aren't you going to treat me?" Xiao Jinmo asked back.

"Yes, we really want to help you find a doctor, but we didn't notify anyone, so we just left like this..." Ling Zhuoxi didn't continue.

"I don't want to see the scene of parting, it hurts too much." There are no too many excuses, no tedious reasons, just the truth.

"Well, just follow your orders." Ling Zhuoxi agreed.

"Let's go..." I don't know how to calmly say these two words, and there is another heavy blow in the heart full of wounds, because I have already endured too much, so I can be so indifferent.

"Are you sure you don't need to say goodbye to Anling Yuhao?" Ling Zhuoxi seemed unable to understand what Xiao Jinmo was doing at this moment, but he could feel his reluctance.

"It's not necessary anymore." It was Xiao Jinmo's indifferent tone.

"Is there really no need to see me? Xiao Jinmo!" A low-pitched question came from behind the two, with strong anger in that slightly hoarse voice.

Even if Xiao Jinmo didn't look back, he naturally knew who the speaker was. The man he would never forget was turning around, but he was powerless to turn around.

"Anling Yuhao! You?" Ling Zhuoxi was full of doubts.

"Xiao Jinmo, I'm asking you something. Is there really no need to say goodbye to me?" Anling Yuhao didn't answer Ling Zhuoxi's question, instead he just stood behind Xiao Jinmo and roared, but didn't go up. Take a step forward, because he knows that if the heart is far away, no matter how close the distance is, it will be the end of the world.

"Little prince, don't you think your current question is meaningless? Whether it is necessary or not, I, Xiao Jinmo, still have to leave." He didn't answer the question directly, but told the ending.

"I just want your answer, yes or no?" An Ling Yuhao asked word by word.

"No..." Xiao Jinmo finally blurted out the moment he closed his eyes tightly, he could no longer feel any pain.

"Okay...very good, Xiao Jinmo, Xiao Jinmo, don't you often boast about keeping your promises?" The voice was already extremely hoarse, as if the voice was not coming from the mouth, but from the firm chest, so low The sound is muffled and uncomfortable.

"Then let me go against it once." It seemed that there was no room for maneuver, Xiao Jinmo's words were all persistent and firm like never before.

"Why? You are willing to keep your promise to everyone in the world, except me?" An Ling Yuhao was almost in pain and couldn't extricate himself.

If there was no meeting this time, perhaps Anling Yuhao would still continue to live his own life, he would always remember Xiao Jinmo, just keep it in his heart, it is something that no one can snatch, so he has been caring and thinking about it all the time, what will happen to him? Let Anling Yuhao witness Xiao Jinmo's existence in another form, that is to be in his heart forever.

But now, when Xiao Jinmo appeared again, all his thoughts were opened.

"It is because of you that I am able to refrain from fulfilling my promise, because I am only willing to be unscrupulous in front of you." This was the answer in Xiao Jinmo's heart, but it was impossible for him to say the answer.

There are too many complaints and dissatisfaction, just because you are Anling Yuhao, not how bold I am, just because of you, if I don't make these choices, then the person who will face the problem will be you , I don't want to see your embarrassment, no matter how deep the pain is, I, Xiao Jinmo, am willing to bear it for you alone.
