Hualuo Chang'an

Luo Changxi sat alone in the red maple forest for a long time.

After Gong Yining finished saying that, she turned and left resolutely, without even turning her head.Luo Changxi calmed down, and felt that his attitude seemed a little too much.She was probably in unbearable pain, and she was dizzy by the matter of Ling Shuangxiu and Qu Yiliu. She was frightened and angry, and she couldn't choose what to say.

But thinking about it the other way around, it seems that this is also good.

She couldn't respond to Gong Yining's thoughts, so she should have made it clear earlier, so as not to mislead others and herself.

Luo Changxi thought about it, and unconsciously sat there for more than half an hour.When she realized it, she realized that she had been blown stiff by Lin Feng, and the wound didn't hurt so much.

"Your Highness—"

Someone seemed to be shouting in the distance.

Luo Changxi looked up and saw Jing Qing running towards him from a distance.

"His Highness is injured?" Jing Qing was a little nervous, and looked Luo Changxi up and down carefully, "Where is the injury? Do you want to call an imperial doctor..."

"No need." Luo Changxi interrupted her, "It's just that I lost my strength, and the old injury hurts."

Jing Qing saw that Luo Changxi's complexion was not good, so she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and quickly helped her up from the ground, and walked out of the forest together.After walking a few steps, Jing Qing said again: "Miss Ling sent someone to ask about His Highness, and I said that His Highness hadn't returned yet, so she told me that His Highness was in the woods, and that His Highness was probably injured during the competition. Jing Qing talked a lot by himself, then suddenly said "Hey", and asked: "Didn't Your Highness take a walk with Miss Gongyi? Where is her person?"

Hearing the word "Gongyi", Luo Changxi stopped.

Jing Qing was full of doubts, and looked up at Luo Changxi's face.

like……

Something bad.

"Your Highness, what... what's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

When the two returned to the villa, it was already dark.After all, Jing Qing was still not at ease, and forced Luo Changxi to take off his clothes and look at the wound. The wound that was already healing was indeed cracked, and even the surrounding area of ​​the wound was red and swollen, which was not very good.According to Luo Changxi's temperament, since he said not to call the imperial doctor, he will definitely not change his mind.Jing Qing had no choice but to go for a trip by himself, and only told the imperial doctor that a young general of the Xiangnan Army was injured during training, and needed some internal and external medicines. Inside and outside.

Luo Changxi felt very tired.

She couldn't eat anything, barely drank two mouthfuls of porridge, then took off her coat and lay down on the bed to rest.

But lying down this time inevitably reminded her of Gong Yining.

Just the night before, Gong Yining was still sleeping with her on this bed. At that time, Gong Yining felt cold, so he leaned against her side and hugged her all the time.It was also at that time that Gong Yining told her about Ling Shuangxiu.After that, when it was dawn, she woke up and found that she was pinned down by Gongyi and couldn't move.

It was clearly the night before, but between the beds, one could still faintly smell the faint fragrance of Gong Yining's body, and Gong Yining's face seemed to be right in front of her eyes.

Luo Changxi heaved a long sigh.

If only Gong Yining didn't have such inexplicable thoughts about her...it would be fine.

Luo Changxi had just thought of this, but the next moment, he started to think about it again, if Gong Yining didn't have that kind of thought for her, would she still be that close to him?

Luo Changxi still knew a little about Gong Yining.

In order to negotiate a deal with her, Luo Changxi spent a lot of effort to check her.

Jing Qing also said many times when reporting back that she is a person who only recognizes money but not people. No matter what happens to her, she must first calculate the gains and losses and measure the value. This is fairness.

But after Luo Changxi got to know Gong Yining, it seemed...

Gradually forget about these.

Because although Gong Yining occasionally cheats and has bad ideas to tease people, she treats Luo Changxi very sincerely.

Is this all because of that reason?

Thinking of the battle in the Red Maple Forest today, at the critical moment, Gong Yining rushed in to save her regardless of her own life.If Luo Changxi didn't have the slightest feeling in his heart, it was of course impossible.Her heart was touched and shocked by Gong Yining's actions, but also full of doubts and puzzles.

What is it about her that Gong Yining treats her like this?

How could Gong Yining have thought about her?

Luo Changxi couldn't figure it out, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was a knot.

Jing Qing was busy for a while, seeing that Luo Changxi was still sitting still, she couldn't help but asked about Luo Changxi's injury.Luo Changxi didn't hide from her, and told her about the sneak attack during the competition, and about being intercepted by Qu Yiliu on the way back.

Jing Qing was surprised and angry: "There must be something wrong with this Qu Yiliu!" After saying this, she thought for a while and said: "There is also the one who sneaked up on His Highness during the previous competition, I am afraid that it is also the same as Qu Yiliu. A group! I'm afraid they are all from Eagle Castle."

Luo Changxi also nodded: "I think so too."

"As for how they knew about His Highness's old injury, that's easy to understand." Jing Qing continued, "Although we kept this injury from the outside world, Your Highness's injury was caused by Su Wuniang. She knew about it. But after that She ran away again..."

"good."

"Your Highness, why don't I take a few people to tie up Qu Yiliu directly, and say that she assassinated Your Highness."

Jing Qing's thinking was simple, anyway, it was a fact that Qu Yiliu wanted to kill Luo Changxi, so she should be arrested first and then tortured slowly.But after Luo Changxi thought about it, he disagreed.

"Don't act rashly just yet."

"why?"

Jing Qing was very puzzled.

Luo Changxi didn't speak anymore.

Qu Yiliu dared to kill her without any concealment on the Red Leaf Mountain, it was predicted that she would not dare to act rashly.At this time, the situation on Hongye Mountain is complicated, with Luo Mingde on top, and officials from various courts on the bottom, and she has not obtained any definite evidence, if it is revealed at this time, it will not only be of no help to the matter she wants to investigate, I'm afraid it will disrupt the situation. If other people have other thoughts and make this matter more complicated, the clues she finally connected may be broken again.

Besides, when it comes to Qu Yiliu, Luo Changxi will inevitably think of Ling Shuangxiu.

Ling Shuangxiu's heart...

Luo Changxi herself was a little surprised, and she felt a little unbearable in her heart.

Luo Changxi was not willing to say these words to Jing Qing.After all, Jing Qing is a member of the Jing family, and General Jing is also on the mountain now, if she said "people and affairs on the mountain are complicated", given Jing Qing's habit of thinking about the affairs of the court in a simple way, she might think wildly again.Ever since Jing Qing had always complained to her about some of Jing Jiang's actions, it turned into a separation between their father and daughter.As for the reason for Ling Shuangxiu, I can't even say it.

Jing Qing waited for a long time but still didn't get Luo Changxi's answer, so she had to mention her own opinion sullenly: "Even... even if you don't arrest that Qu Yiliu, then you have to investigate her carefully, right?"

"Yes, it needs to be investigated."

"When it comes to checking this Qu Yiliu, we still have some shortcomings." Jing Qing continued, "Your Highness still has to find Miss Gongyi. First, the two of them have been rivals for many years and must know a lot. Second, Gongyi Miss Yi knows everything about the capital city like the back of her hand, and there is a gold and jade gambling shop that specializes in collecting information..."

"Ah."

Luo Changxi reacted lightly.

"Your Highness..."

"I'm tired."

Luo Changxi lay down, closed his eyes and stopped talking.Thinking of Luo Changxi's injury, Jing Qing had no choice but to shut up and backed out silently.

But when Jing Qing withdrew, Luo Changxi opened his eyes again.

She was obviously exhausted and very tired, but she didn't feel sleepy, and her heart was still empty, as if she was missing something important that couldn't be put into words.

What Jing Qing said was indeed good, but now, how could Gong Yining be willing to help her?She said that she would not like Gong Yining, and she even compared Gong Yining with Chen Qian and Ling Zhanming.

Probably she was wrong.

If it was really Chen Gan or Ling Zhanming, how could she feel so lost in her heart?

……

"Yes...what's the point?"

……

"So, you... would you like to... be like me? Do you have me in your heart?"

……

"Impossible...I...don't believe..."

……

"turn out to be……"

……

"Luo Changxi, I understand. I'm going down the mountain now and I won't come back."

……

Luo Changxi lay in bed the whole time, didn't eat dinner, and lay down in a daze for most of the night.Dazedly, he felt as if he had fallen asleep, but his mind was clear and clear.She closed her eyes for a while, and opened them again to see if it was dawn.I don't know how long it took, Luo Changxi saw some light shining through the window paper in a trance, she couldn't sleep anymore, so she forced herself to get out of bed.

The medicine and compresses taken the day before seemed to be of some use. She felt that the injury on her shoulder seemed to have healed a lot, but because she didn’t eat and couldn’t sleep well, her body was heavier and weaker than the day before, and her mind was also weak. Not sober.

But Luo Changxi didn't want to wait any longer, she wanted to go down the mountain to find Gong Yining.

She wanted to make it clear with Gong Yining.

Even if she couldn't accept Gong Yining's affection, she was the one who said something wrong and hurt Gong Yining's heart.She should explain it clearly to her, and even apologize to her.As for whether Gong Yining would forgive her, she was not sure.The only thing she was sure of was that she wanted to see Gong Yining, and she wanted to make it clear to her, not for Gong Yining to resume cooperation with her and continue to help her find out about Qu Yiliu.

But...

Gong Yining's eyes.

Although Gong Yining had been gone for a long time, the look in her eyes before she left had always stayed in Luo Changxi's mind.There was affection, grievance, sadness, pain in those eyes, as well as things that shouldn't appear in Gong Yining's eyes——

Tears.

How could someone like Gong Yining cry?

How can someone like Gong Yining cry?

Those tears were shed for her, so she should wipe them away now.

Luo Changxi cleaned up briefly, took the Sun Devouring Knife, no one was alarmed, and hurried out the door alone.

It was not yet full light, and there was fog in the forest, and there was a vast expanse of white and wet everywhere, which was quite cool.Luo Changxi walked for more than half an hour, and the fog finally cleared a lot. Slowly, she vaguely saw the path at the foot of the mountain. It seemed that it would not take long to reach the small town at the foot of the mountain.In order not to alarm others, Luo Changxi didn't lead a horse before. Now that he is in the town, he naturally has to buy a horse before returning to Beijing.

Luo Changxi was still thinking about it, but suddenly heard a woman's exclamation from behind.

"who?"

She was in a hurry to go down the mountain all the way, coupled with her heavy body, her perception was not as good as before, and the road was covered by thick fog, Luo Changxi didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment at all.At this moment, she suddenly heard movement, and she became nervous all of a sudden.It was only then that she realized that she had been worrying all the way down the mountain, and she was so unaware that she didn't even notice that there was someone following behind her.

Luo Changxi took the Yang Devouring Knife in his hand, and yelled at the place where he made the sound just now.

"come out!"
