Man Rou smiled coldly and took the medicine from the palace maid's hand, forcing Jin Xuan to drink it.
"I don't want to." I was shocked. When she got up, her clothes were already soaked in sweat. Cai 'er came in from outside,”
She reached out and touched the cold spot beside her." Where's the young prince?”
"Little Prince, he left early in the morning and asked Cai 'er to wait for Young Lady to wake up.”
I nodded, and Rong Qin, who had followed Cai 'er in, saw me sweating all over. This servant will prepare hot water now."
I looked at Rong Qin's back and fell into deep thought. Although I knew that I was Jin Xuan and remembered some things from a thousand years ago, I still couldn't remember most of them. These dreams should be telling me stories from a thousand years ago. As long as I thought of Haochen's deep love for Manrou and his ruthlessness towards me, my heart couldn't help but ache.
For the entire day, I was in a listless state. I just sat in the pavilion and stared blankly at the goldfish in the pond. I didn't even notice Nanyun Feng walking behind me.
"Ling 'er." Nanyun Feng hugged me from behind.
"Yun, I always dream of a couple called Haochen and Jinxuan. I dream of everything that happened to them. Yun, I'm so afraid that everything will happen to us again.”
Nanyun Feng was startled as he hugged my arm. He then said," Ling 'er, don't think blindly. We will always be like this. I won't let the scene from a thousand years ago happen again.”
I nodded in Nanyun Feng's embrace and didn't say anything else.
I realized that Nanyun Feng was doting on me more and more, as if he was afraid that I would suffer some grievances. Sometimes, when I was in his embrace, I would look up and see his eyes filled with guilt and self-blame. As for the affairs of the Prince's mansion, he didn't allow me to take over, because he was afraid that I would be too tired. Since he, the young prince, has spoken, I am happy to be free. Every day, I chat with Cai 'er, Rong Qin, and Rong Xin, and my days aren't boring.
Today, I was a bit bored staying in the wang fu, so I let Cai 'er and I change into men's clothes and go out. After strolling for a long time, they sat down in a teahouse and heard the person at the table next door say," Have you heard? It seems that the young prince is going to take a secondary consort."
"It can't be, right? Wasn't Madam Shuhua the most beautiful woman in the world? Why does the young prince still want to take a concubine?" Another person asked hurriedly.
"You don't know about this, do you? Madam Shu Hua was the young lady of the Ling Xue Villa. How could she be as good as General Jing Yuan's daughter?”
"The young prince wants to take General Jing Yuan's daughter as his concubine?”
"That's right."
Cai 'er stared at the person at the next table, wanting to get up, but I pulled her back and shook my head. "Cai 'er, let's go."
Walking out of the teahouse, Cai 'er said," What? Miss and those people are definitely talking nonsense. How could the young prince marry the daughter of some General Jing Yuan? How could she be as good as Miss? Her family background was good, humph, the young miss was the emperor's cousin.”
"Cai 'er." I berated him and walked towards the Imperial Residence without looking back.
At this moment, my heart was in a mess. The current situation was the same as a thousand years ago. A thousand years ago, Haochen chose Manrou for the country and gave up Jinxuan. A thousand years later, would I repeat the same mistake a thousand years ago? Nanyun Feng, will you still make the same choice as a thousand years ago?
Cai 'er was still cursing and swearing all the way back to the prince's mansion. As soon as I returned to the prince's mansion, I immediately went back to Lingfeng Pavilion, and heard Rong Xin ask Cai' er,"Sister Cai 'er, who made you angry?"”
" It's all because of those people…" Cai 'er finished speaking in one breath.
Rong Xin paused for a moment." Those people must be talking nonsense. Sister Cai 'er, I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first.”
Cai 'er immediately asked,"Rong Xin, do you know something?"”
"No, what are you talking about, Sister Cai 'er? How would I know?”Rong Xin argued.
Listening to Rong Xin's tone, I understood. What I heard on the street today was right. I was still the same as a thousand years ago, the abandoned one. However, this time, I would not be like a thousand years ago.
"Cai 'er, go find Brother Zhe and give him this thing."”
Cai 'er looked at me,
"Cai 'er, quickly go. I don't want to stay here anymore."
"Yes, Miss, don't worry. I'll definitely hand it over to Tang Young Master."
Brother Zhe, you must help Mo 'er. You're my only hope now.
Not long after Cai 'er left, Nanyun Feng came back in a panic. Seeing my relaxed expression, his face showed a hint of relaxation. He walked to my side and asked," Ling' er, did you go out today?”
"Yeah, I haven't gone out for a long time. I'm suffocating.”I replied with a smile.
"Did anything happen?"
"No, I'm having a lot of fun.”
"That's good. Next time you go out, bring more hidden guards with you.”
I quickly agreed.
Throughout the night, Nanyun Feng would occasionally look at me with a probing gaze. I also tried my best to maintain my usual appearance, talking and laughing. It wasn't easy for Nanyun Feng to let down his guard.
He grabbed my hand." Ling 'er, no matter what you hear, you have to believe me, understand?”
I smiled and nodded.
He pulled me into his embrace." Ling 'er, you have to know that you're the person I can't bear to part with the most. I would rather give up everything than you.”
I smiled. Didn't you say the same thing to Jin Xuan a thousand years ago? But in the end, didn't you abandon her and hurt her again and again? Haochen, why are you so cruel? A thousand years ago, you broke Jin Xuan's heart. A thousand years later, you still broke my heart.
The hug that I usually felt warm was now bone-chilling cold. In order to not let Nanyun Feng see any clues, I could only force myself to look the same as usual.
"Where's Cai 'er? Isn't that girl always by your side?”Nanyun Feng asked.
"I asked her to go and see aunt. I haven't seen aunt for a long time, and I miss her a little, so I asked Cai 'er to go on my behalf.”
Nanyun Feng nodded.
On the morning of the second day, Cai 'er hurried back and grabbed her,"How is it?"”
Cai 'er said anxiously,"Young Master Tang isn't here.”
"What?" If Brother Zhe isn't here, I won't have anyone to help me. I can't look for Auntie. Otherwise, if Father and Mother find out, I won't be able to leave this place.
"However, Miss."
"What?"
"I met a very strange person on the road. He said that he knows you, miss, and he can save you.”
"Who is he?"
"I don't know either. He only told me that if I said the word 'Xinxin' to Miss, Miss would know who he was.”
Yixiang? How did he know that I wanted to escape from the Shaoling Prince's Mansion? Could it be that he had always been nearby? I hurriedly asked,"Cai 'er, did he say anything else?"”
Cai 'er thought for a moment, then said," Miss, he said that he doesn't hope to start over, and only hopes that you can still treat him as a friend.”
I nodded." Did he say how to help us get out?”
Cai 'er shook her head," He didn't say this, he only said that it would be fine to let miss wait.”
As winter gradually entered, the Shaoling Prince's mansion was a little deserted in the winter. Everyone performed their duties and lived in peace. Only I had nothing to do, so I strolled around the residence alone.
"Miss, bad news." Early in the morning, Cai 'er ran over in a panic and shouted.
Seeing Cai 'er's anxious look, he asked,”
Cai 'er walked over to my side,"Miss, Cai' er just heard that the young prince is really going to take a concubine."”
My eyes flashed, and I took a deep breath,"Cai 'er, go and prepare."”
"Miss, have you really decided?"
I nodded. Cai 'er saw that I had already made up my mind, and left. He slowly walked back to Lingfeng Pavilion and raised his head to look at the horizontal board. He laughed at himself. This was the name that Yun Feng had personally given him. Who knew how many pavilions would have such names in the future. Forget it. I'm leaving anyway. It has nothing to do with me.
Rong Xin came out in a hurry and said to me," Young Mistress, you're back. The prince has been waiting for you for a long time."”
I gave a faint "oh" and walked into Lingfeng Pavilion.
Nanyun Feng saw me enter and walked over without saying a word. He carried me into the inner room. I didn't know what he meant and could only let him carry me into the room.
Nanyun Feng held my shoulder and sighed," You, you always don't treat yourself well. The weather is already so cold, yet you're still wearing such thin clothes.”As she said that, she hugged my arms tightly.
Looking at his gentle appearance, I whispered," Young Prince, why did you return to the residence so early today?”
Nanyun Feng's eyes darkened as he spoke in a low voice," Ling 'er, what did you call me?”
I was stunned and smiled." Yun, why are you so free today?”
He sighed and hugged me tightly, staring straight at my face. He didn't say anything and just gently kissed my lips. He held my waist with one hand and pressed it down…
Nanyun Feng had never mentioned the matter of him taking in a secondary consort. I laughed coldly in my heart. If you don't want to say it, then so be it. I'm not in a hurry either. It just so happens to give me more time to prepare.
One day, Nanyun Feng returned at night as if he had something to say. I wasn't in a hurry to rush him. He glanced at me and said," Ling 'er, the officials in the court have done everything they could to win over Shao Ling wangfu. I also know that it's not good to reject them again and again, so I want to discuss it with you.”
My heart sank. You really want to take a secondary concubine? The smile on her face did not change." Yun, what do you have to discuss with me?"”
Nanyun Feng stood up and walked to my side." There are many vacancies in the positions of the Crown Prince's wife and the King's wife in Shao Ling's manor. All of you are worried about me and Yun Zang. What does Ling 'er think?”
