Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 475: Second in the World (1)
In the middle of the twelfth lunar month, the continuous heavy snow finally stopped, but the sound of flute that accompanied Ling Xihan like a dream every night disappeared.

After staying here for more than a month, Ling Xihan felt that it was time for him to leave.

On this day, she was about to say goodbye to Xiao Minglan, but she saw him rushing over.

"Han'er."

"What happened?" Ling Xihan raised his eyes, Xiao Minglan is not an impulsive person, what could make him so anxious?
Xiao Minglan looked solemn, "Ouyang Chen declared war on Daqing, the reason is—" He looked deeply into Ling Xihan's eyes, "Hate for taking his wife."

Ling Xihan really wanted to laugh, really.Hate for taking his wife?Hehe, it has been two months since Xiao Tingxuan kidnapped her at her wedding with Ouyang Chen, and now Ouyang Chen has come to settle accounts after Qiuhou?Isn't this ironic?

Seeing the sarcasm in her eyes, Xiao Minglan's eyes flickered slightly, but he still said: "Maybe you don't know, Ouyang Chen is also looking for you this month. Maybe he also knows that I hid you, they... all know " The corner of his mouth curled up with self-mockery and bitterness, "Ouyang Chen wants to bring you back to Wuyou City, but he... is secretly protecting you."

In fact, he didn't have to say so much to Ling Xihan.These days, although Ling Xihan has been staying by his side, he knows that she is not happy.Even for so long, he has never seen the slightest smile on her face.Those sparkling eyes also lost the slightest brilliance.

He didn't know exactly what happened.So he went to find Luo Tianxiang, the man who also loved her deeply.Perhaps because of the sympathy for each other, Luo Tianxiang finally told him the truth.After he learned everything, he was angry, distressed, jealous, all kinds of emotions spread in his heart and then pity.He hated Xiao Tingxuan for hurting her so much, and felt sorry for what happened to her.He swore that he would take good care of her in the future and would not let her be wronged in the slightest.

During these days, he has cared for her carefully, loving and pampering her sincerely.But she remained indifferent to him.Gradually, he understood that some feelings cannot be won by hard work.Some people will turn back if they are not persistent.He was dejected, but also relieved.

Perhaps, in this life, he and her have no destiny after all.That being the case, what is he still struggling with?To love someone is not to possess her.

He knew that although Xiao Tingxuan hurt her, she still loved that man in her heart.Just like him, he was rejected by her again and again, but he still couldn't forget the throbbing when we first met, her wanton and proud gaze, and her graceful dancing posture...

Since he decided to give up, he must see her happy to be at ease.He knew that Xiao Tingxuan also had a deep affection for her.Don't think that only Ling Xihan can hear the flute sound every night, he also knows it.Such a lingering and mournful flute sound is enough to show how sad and affectionate the person playing the flute is.Therefore, he conceded defeat and lost to Xiao Tingxuan, he was convinced.

In the past, he didn't believe in past and present lives, but now——

He closed his eyes, "Go find him..." Even though he had decided to give up, his heart ached so much after saying these words.That kind of pain is not particularly clear, but it is connected to every blood vessel and every inch of skin.Even breathing became suffocating and painful.

Ling Xihan was slightly taken aback, and remained silent for a while.

Xiao Minglan said again: "Your two servant girls, Ruoyu and Ruoxue, have committed suicide."

Ling Xihan didn't speak, but his eyes were complicated.

Xiao Minglan lowered his head, took out an envelope from his sleeve, and slowly handed it to her.

"This is a letter from the queen to you."

Ling Xihan's figure shook, and Xiao Minglan's eyes showed pity.

"He said, everything you want to know is on this letter. If you don't want to read it, just burn it."

Ling Xihan stared at the slightly yellowed letter, and after a long time, she finally accepted it.His fingers were tightly clenched, and his eyes were cold and cold.After a long while, she still opened the envelope, her eyes touched the familiar and elegant handwriting on it, and her heart was a little complicated.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and said something suddenly.

"I want to go out for a walk, can you accompany me?" She spoke in a very soft voice, not indifferent or cold, just a very peaceful sentence, even her tone did not fluctuate in the slightest.

However, Xiao Minglan was shocked when he heard it, and his heart seemed to be disturbed by chaos.After a long time, he smiled slightly and said hoarsely, "Okay."

The Chinese New Year is coming, and the streets that have been washed away by the heavy snow for many days are also infected by this atmosphere. The warmth of home can be seen everywhere.

Ling Xihan looked at the people walking on the street, "Didn't you say that a war is going to start? Why do the people here seem to be unaffected?"

Xiao Minglan's eyes paused slightly, she still cared about him.

Hiding the disappointment in his eyes, he had a faint smile on his face.

"Yunzhou is still a few cities away from the border. Even if a war breaks out, it will not be affected here in a short time."

Ling Xihan lowered his eyes and remained silent.Xiao Minglan stood beside her quietly the whole time without saying a word.In this way, the two kept walking, and they had already walked out of a street and came to a back street.This is a deep ancient alley, and the people living on both sides are simple people.

It was almost noon, and there was very little smoke from the cooking on the roof, and the smell of the food rushed into the nose, which made people's appetite arouse.

"You didn't eat anything in the morning, do you want to eat something?" Xiao Minglan asked in her ear with a thought.

Ling Xihan looked not far away. It was a small restaurant selling wontons. Although it was not as exquisite and luxurious as a restaurant, the business was very good.The shop clerk was busy, but in the cold winter, his forehead was covered with sweat.But it can be seen that he is very happy.

"Let's go to that noodle shop." She said and walked forward.

Xiao Minglan was slightly stunned, he was born in the royal family, the eldest son of the royal family, he was born in rich clothes and fine clothes, silk and satin since he was a child, he never went to such a street stall to eat.

"If you're not used to it, go back." Ling Xihan noticed that he hadn't followed, so she turned her head and said something lightly.Xiao Minglan's status is distinguished. She grew up surrounded by nature and surrounded by servants. She is very particular about eating and dressing. Maybe she has never been in the alleys of common people.She also understands.This world has a deep concept of hierarchy, and according to Xiao Minglan's status, he naturally doesn't want to dine with lowly commoners, it will lower his status, and it will not be good for his reputation.

She smiled, and another face flashed in her mind.Thinking of the bamboo forest, he personally set up a shelf to roast game, skilled movements, gentle and delicate eyes...

A gust of cold wind blew, Ling Xihan suddenly came back to his senses, and found that his cheeks were a little cold.Stretching out her hand to touch it, she realized that she had burst into tears before she knew it.
