The Hickey of the Demon Lord: The Substitute Princess

Chapter 242

Aunt Lin was also selling vegetables. The youngest daughter looked at Su Min, who was wearing a thick red padded jacket, ran up to Su Min, and gave Su Min the radish flowers picked from the vegetable field. He took out two copper plates, leaned over, stuffed them into the child's bib pocket, and said in a low voice.

"Xiaolin, go buy candy."

"Thank you, sister..." The little girl had just learned to speak every six months, her voice was sweet and soft, slurred, she burst into laughter, and rushed to Aunt Lin's side to show off.

Ling Feng looked at the sweet smile blooming at the corner of Su Min's mouth now, as if he finally understood why the master was immersed in her warmth and couldn't extricate himself, it was a feeling that would not feel cold.

Su Min smiled back at the busy Aunt Lin, and continued walking forward, her eyes darkened, and she said something quietly. "I've seen many wealthy families in Los Angeles and Beijing. Perhaps their wealth is more than enough to buy the entire Xidu, but they are not as happy as anyone here. But you go ask, these Some people earn only a few taels of silver a year, but apart from the panic after the plague this time, they still feel that their lives are very stable and happy."

Ling Feng listened carefully, and felt that it made sense. In the world, contentment and happiness are the norm.

"Perhaps happiness does not depend on when and where a person is..."

Su Min smiled, her brows and eyes were clear, even now, she and Nangong Zheng are separated by a long distance and have not seen each other for more than half a month, but as long as she thinks of him in the middle of the night when no one is around, she still Feel as warm as ever.

"Let's go back, we should be able to eat."

Her eyes flashed, and the tenderness in her eyes turned into clear water.

Looking at this slender and petite figure, Ling Feng frowned slightly, as if his expression was the same as before, with a little more seriousness.

What a blow that truth was to this woman, he knew it well, and the master knew it too.

That's why I let myself keep it a secret from her, but how long can I keep it a secret?
After lunch, she personally sent Ling Feng away, leaving this peaceful village.

Seeing the figure on the horse drifting away, she turned around, Fan'er felt curious, and joined in the fun. "The Holy Majesty didn't have time to reply, but he actually asked his men to come to such a remote place to see the young lady? I really don't understand..."

"It's said that it's on the way." Su Min smiled and covered Fan'er's mouth with her hand to prevent her from continuing to ask questions.

Even if it was strange, she didn't continue to doubt it.

As the king of a country, of course there will be times when she can't get away. If she can't forgive such a trivial matter, she is too incompetent.

Su Min at the moment, of course, has never thought about the great changes that have taken place in the capital thousands of miles away.

I don't know that the calm at this moment is actually just a short-term foreshadowing for a violent storm to come.

late at night.

Ling Feng had just got off his horse, and walked to the front of the bedroom, his footsteps paused slightly, he glanced at the light at the crack of the door, and knew that Nangong Zheng hadn't rested yet.

These days, the master's temper has become more irritable, not only weird, but the frequency of getting angry is also getting higher and higher.

Outsiders only know that he hasn't rested late at night, maybe because of state affairs, but they don't know it's just a cover.

He is simply more serious than outsiders think.

Whether it was early in the morning or late at night, whether it was the morning glow or the stars and the moon, whether it was how many candles were lit and how many palace lanterns were lit or all the lights were turned off, to Nan Gongzheng, it was all the same, without any difference.

After a long silence, he finally knocked on the door, but did not hear the other party's response, nor did he push the door open.

This is the first time Ling Feng saw such a master.

The man who lived despite the infamy and pain, the man with the highest dignity, pride and conceit, the man who made outsiders feel strange and changeable, and even talked about the man's discoloration, tasted the feeling of falling from the clouds to the ground for the first time , he must not want anyone to see this moment.

Of course, the person who didn't want to be seen the most was Su Min.

"Come in."

As if he understood that Ling Feng was still waiting outside the door, this voice came suddenly.

Ling Feng lowered his eyes, stretched out his hand, pushed open the wooden door, and walked in.If it wasn't for the fact that martial arts practitioners have a sharper sense than others, he might be like night blindness, unable to walk in this huge darkness.

"She didn't see anything."

The speaker should be right in front of him. Ling Feng kept the distance that should exist between master and servant, and responded calmly. "I probably didn't notice it, master."

"Is she all right?"

In that darkness, the deep voice remained unmoved, and no one could spy on his emotions.

"Ma'am, everything is fine, and the people of Xidu are also doing well." Ling Feng said, the haze has passed, and now the sun is beginning to shine on Xidu.

Although no smile could be seen, Nangong Zheng's tone softened a lot. "A talented woman."

At Nangong Zheng's hand was still the letter she wrote. At the beginning, he had also practiced replying the letter, but he couldn't see any light, and wanted to write a short letter that she couldn't see the difference, but he couldn't. cannot.

After tearing up dozens of letters, he finally broke out in anger and impatience, and overturned the desk in front of him, unable to bear the weakness of his hands at this moment.

He never thought that he would become a useless person who couldn't even return a letter.

So, after he calmed down completely, he could only use an excuse to let Ling Feng drop by to visit her, to calm down her uneasiness, and he didn't want her to feel nervous and return to Beijing suddenly, so that he could prepare everything by surprise.

A shallow sigh overflowed from his thin lips. If this continues, he may not be able to spend it alone.

But he didn't want her to share the burden of the moment.

Seeing his own injury, she will be in more pain than himself, this point, he has long known.

"The subordinates feel that Mrs. Su is not just the master's confidante." Ling Feng deeply felt that he was not as good as the royal children. He had read too many books, but he felt that the virtuous housemates around the king for thousands of years must be Like Su Min, he has responsibility, thinking, ideas, and courage to undertake.He paused and spoke more seriously. "It's the king's right-hand man. Although the whole person has put in a lot of hard work and energy, what Madam Su brought to Xidu is not just the medicine that represents money, but the hope of living."

"You also think that what she did was right." Nangong Zheng smiled lightly. Although his black eyes had lost their former brilliance and looked hollow and numb because of this, the short-lived smile on the corner of his mouth still revealed Express your truest emotions.

If he had made such a decision at that time and burned everyone in Xidu to death, the result would of course be to make the plague disappear completely.

He has always focused on results, not process, but this time he has changed.

Su Min's method was different from his. With her resilience and determination, she proved to him that she could calm down this silent storm.

Ling Feng's expression was extremely complicated. "The subordinate has been with the master for many years, and sometimes killing the other party is the simplest, most direct and cleanest way, and the subordinate has never denied this."

Nan Gongzheng didn't show any expression, but listened quietly.

Ling Feng continued calmly. "But until I saw the market in Xidu, and saw the faces of the people, there was no trace of panic in their eyes, and they continued to live a poor but contented life, and my subordinates felt deeply touched."

Nan Gongzheng silently closed his black eyes, and she appeared in front of his eyes. She was dressed in plain and ordinary robes, without makeup, and covered with a veil, only her picturesque eyebrows and eyes were exposed, fresh and elegant, and charming.

"She appeased the entire Xidu villagers?"

"Yes, the people who died in the plague, Mrs. Su gave them a sum of money to bury them, and, not only that, she asked the villagers for their opinions, rebuilt dozens of cottages, and burned down all the dilapidated houses that originally accommodated the plague patients It’s almost the winter solstice, and she distributed padded jackets and rice grains to every family, so that they can spend the winter with peace of mind..." Ling Feng seemed to suddenly see Nan Gongzheng The peace that was opposed to the anger in the past, maybe when talking about Su Min, the master will calm down.

This is undoubtedly a good medicine.

Nan Gongzheng was deep in thought, remembering every word Ling Feng said in his heart.

Of course Su Min has the financial resources to do these things.

But not every household in this world with the same financial resources as the Su family will do it so meticulously and meticulously.

"Continue talking." He couldn't see her, so he could only look for her figure from Ling Feng's mouth.

Ling Feng nodded: "It's not just that, Mrs. Su has almost integrated into the local area of ​​Xidu. The villagers love and respect her, and the children like her. She never puts on airs, and she doesn't make the villagers feel burdened. She doesn't feel that what she gets is It's just a handout of mercy without emotion."

Nangong Zheng's deep smile spread into Ling Feng's ears, "She made you talkative, you are not in the nature of talking so much."

Perhaps, this is the most talk he has ever heard Ling Feng say.

"Maybe my subordinates talked too much..." Ling Feng's eyes sank, but his expression was still respectful.

"The matter of Nangong Yuan, continue to investigate."

Nangong Zheng suddenly changed the subject, he didn't ask any more details about Su Min.

"Be sure to get him out, otherwise, my eyes will be blind for nothing." He sneered silently, even without those dark eyes like eagles, the fierce chill all over his body still made people feel that it was impossible to continue breathe.

"My subordinate, please take care of your body and cooperate with the treatment..." Ling Feng has too many things to say to dissuade him, but this is not his specialty. Warriors are always quick in skill but clumsy in tongue, except for this one exception. , he may not have seen the second exception.

In fact, the three months have not yet come, maybe there is still a turning point, he wanted to persuade him in this way.
