Daughter of the royal palace

Chapter 478: Second in the World (4)
But the uncles and aunts at home saw her as a widow and wanted to drive them out. Her natal cousin came to help, and they said that she was disobedient and lived with others, and they wanted to put her in a pig cage and even her son , are not spared.

She also comes from a scholarly family, although she is not a lady, she also knows propriety, justice and shame, women's morals and workmanship, and she has always been proud, how can she stand up to their accusations.In grief and indignation, she took her son and left that home.Even if she sleeps on the street, she will never let her son be humiliated.

complain?Yes, she complained.She blamed the ruthlessness of the war for taking her husband away.Blaming those so-called relatives for making things worse, they are wolf-hearted.But the most resentful thing is the so-called ethics in this world, which is so cruel.It wasn't until that moment that she deeply felt how naive and ridiculous the so-called women's virtues and women's precepts she had learned since she was a child.

Since she got married, she has kept the etiquette and chastity, is filial to her parents-in-law and elders, and is kind and amiable to her peers. How can she be disrespectful to women?It was those greedy people who framed her for the family property, slandered her wantonly, and forced her to leave with her son, just to keep the last bit of dignity.

In the past few days, she has deeply experienced the fickleness of the world and the warmth and warmth of human relationships.In this cold and snowy winter, her heart is also cold.

Today is her husband's first seven...

Ling Xihan felt her grief, she held the woman's hand tightly, her eyes were sincere and firm.

"Everything will pass, trust me."

The woman still had tears on her face, upon hearing this, she looked up at her in a daze, and suddenly laughed.

"Well, I've always believed that."

The corners of Ling Xihan's eyes were a little sour, and he moved his lips, unable to speak.

The wind and snow were getting bigger and bigger, and it hurt people's cheeks.

Xiao Minglan walked up, "It's late at night, let's go back." He took off his outer robe and wanted to put it on her shoulders, but she dodged it lightly.

Xiao Minglan was taken aback, but the woman chuckled at this moment, her eyes wandered over the faces of Xiao Minglan and Ling Xihan, and she said meaningfully: "Girl, life is short, cherish your present. Don't regret it until you lose it. "She looked at the vast snow, and her voice was a little more desolate and sighed.

"Once you miss many things, you will never look back." She seemed to have thought of something, with the happiness of memories on her face.

"It's common for young couples to quarrel, but if you want to see them hate each other because of this little quarrel, you're making yourself guilty." She held Ling Xihan's hand, with kindness in her eyes.

"Young man, the world is changing like a dream, and today and night are gone. It's like yesterday, passing by in a hurry." She lowered her head and her voice was low.

"I quarreled with my husband that day, and he went to the border in a fit of anger. Since then, he has never returned..." When she said this, her eyes filled with tears again, and she looked up at Ling Xihan.

"So girls, you must know how to cherish the people in front of you. Everything is going through vicissitudes, and we can't predict what will happen tomorrow. Especially in this era of war. We can't predict. If we are still familiar with the smiling face today, will it return to dust tomorrow? We can't guarantee that those figures that we used to be familiar with and walked past silently in front of our eyes will disappear with the wind tomorrow. What we can do is... hold on to the happiness in front of us..."

Winter nights are not as cold as autumn, but cold, icy cold.

And what really made Ling Xihan's heart cold was not the weather, but the words of that woman at night.

She stood by the window, watching the heavy snow fluttering and falling.The woman's words kept lingering in her ears.Especially what she said when she turned around.

"Everything in the world is like clouds and smoke. When the heart moves, it moves recklessly. If the heart doesn't move, all thoughts are empty. When the heart moves, emotion moves. When emotion moves, everything starts from the beginning."

When the woman said these words, her expression seemed to be in front of her eyes. She said, "Since it is out of love, all mistakes can be forgiven."

"Since it is out of love, all mistakes can be forgiven."

These words kept echoing in Ling Xihan's ears, and her heart was inexplicably complicated.She thought of every detail of coming to this world, and when she first met him, he was standing on the pavilion, beside the begonia, dressed in white like snow, magnificent and peerless, walking towards her with a slight smile.

Thinking of the setting sun and the blood staining the sword, the man sighed lightly.

Thinking of the way he touched her face during the intoxicating fragrance, his eyes were blurred and complicated.

Thinking of the pampering and gentleness in Yinyuetan where he held viburnum flowers in her hair and his smile flashed away.

Thinking of him stepping forward without hesitation in the cold long sword fight...

Thinking of his firm tone and gentle eyes hanging no tears on her neck.

Thinking of him running thousands of miles just for the little trace of jealousy in his heart.

Thinking of the foggy forest, he pushed her out of Wusheng Cave without hesitation, and he himself endured the stone gate that was about to fall.

Thinking of that night, she was addicted to drugs, and she groaned and twirled under him, lingering until death...

She closed her eyes abruptly. It turned out that she hadn't forgotten, but she was deliberately avoiding, avoiding those memories that seemed to pass by but were already engraved in her heart unconsciously.Only now did she discover that the man had been injected into her flesh and blood as time went by.Not to mention forgetting, just a light touch is the pain of bone erosion.

At the end of the memory is the mournful gaze of the plain-clothed woman, and the black spirit card in her hand suddenly appeared in front of her eyes, like the bony but terrified hands stretched out by countless ghosts in the Nether Cave.

She woke up suddenly from her sleep, her forehead was soaked with sweat.Looking at the pitch-black room, snowflakes began to fall outside the window again, and it was extremely cold in this dark night.

She got out of bed, lit a candle, and stood in front of the window in a middle coat, blowing the cold wind, her eyes were a little confused and struggling.

She had a dream just now. In the dream, there was fighting with drums, rivers of blood, and bones all over the ground... In the last scene, Xiao Tingxuan and Ouyang Chen fought... Thunder rumbled, heavy rain poured down, and the cold sword pierced into Ouyang Chen's body chest, while the jade fan in Ouyang Chen's hand shattered Xiao Tingxuan's heart, and the two of them fell to the ground together, a bloody glow blurred in front of their eyes...

Ling Xihan suddenly grasped the window rail tightly, holding tightly, the knuckles in his hands turned white, and his face was as pale as paper.The pupils reveal fragility, grief, helplessness, panic...

She slid down the wall slowly and sat on the cold floor.

The woman's words echoed in her ears again.

Die on the battlefield, sacrifice your life for your country!
Ling Xihan raised his head suddenly, and rushed out of the room like a gallop.The maidservant who was on guard at night jumped in fright. When she saw her coming out in only her middle coat, she was even more startled and ran over immediately.

"Princess, it's snowing outside now, you will catch the cold if you go out like this..." She hurriedly wanted to catch up, but how could she catch up with Ling Xihan who used lightness kung fu?In less than a moment, Ling Xihan had long since disappeared.She looked anxious, and as soon as she stamped her foot, she was about to tell Xiao Minglan.Unexpectedly, as soon as she turned around, she bumped into Xiao Minglan who was rushing over.

"What happened?" He was restless all night, always feeling that something would happen to Ling Xihan, and when he hurried over, he saw the maid guarding the door with a panicked expression, which amplified his uneasiness.

Seeing Xiao Minglan, the servant girl immediately knelt on the ground and cried for forgiveness: "My lord, the princess ran out suddenly just now, and the maidservant doesn't know what's going on, the maidservant can't catch up..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Minglan had already flashed his figure and chased after Ling Xihan in the direction where Ling Xihan disappeared.

After a while, everyone in the other courtyard was alarmed.Ling Xihan disappeared, Xiao Minglan mobilized all the hidden guards in his hands to search, but unfortunately there was no trace after searching for most of the night.Xiao Minglan was very anxious, and even more worried that Ling Xihan would be kidnapped by Ouyang Chen again, or that she would leave by herself.No, no, if she wants to leave, she will definitely say goodbye to herself.Ouyang Chen is currently fighting against Xiao Tingxuan, so he has no time to rob Ling Xihan.In other words, Ling Xihan didn't leave at all, she was still here, she just didn't want to be found.

After thinking through all this, Xiao Minglan was slightly relieved.

"Don't look for it anymore, let's all go down." He waved at the crowd, but turned around and walked in another direction.

The huge mansion gradually became quiet, but at this moment Ling Xihan was sitting in a dark corner with his knees hugged in a daze.

"Xuan..."

It took a long time before she let out a low sob, her expression painful and desolate.

The figure parked behind the big tree was startled, and then slowly walked out, looking at the woman curled up in the corner, eyes filled with pity.

"Han'er." He came over and put the gray-black coat on her shoulders with a gentle voice.

"It's cold here, let me take you back to your room."

Ling Xihan was still dumbfounded and did not move, Xiao Minglan reached out to help her stand up, but she suddenly spoke.

"I want to leave."

Xiao Minglan paused, although he knew she didn't belong to him, but when he heard it with his own ears, his heart still ached.

"Okay." No matter how much pain in his heart, he looked at her with gentle eyes.

"I'll take you to see him tomorrow morning."

Ling Xihan shuddered all over, and glanced at Xiao Minglan in confusion.Xiao Mingla smiled slightly, "You won't leave now."

Ling Xihan lowered his head and said something in a low voice.

"Thank you. But—" Her eyes drifted and her voice was like the wind.

"Need not."

Xiao Minglan's heart was twisted like a knife, "Han'er, can you really forget him that much?"

Ling Xihan didn't look back, "Can you forget me?"

Xiao Minglan was silent, but Ling Xihan laughed at himself.

"I just... don't want to regret it." She was also confused now, not knowing whether she should forgive Xiao Tingxuan or not.Intellectually, she should hate him and hate him for deceiving her.But emotionally, she felt sorry for him.She secretly scolded herself for being mean. Is a man who has been scheming and deceiving her from the beginning to the end worthy of her sincere sacrifice?But in fact, he doesn't seem to have done anything wrong.

He has been poisoned by Gu poison since he was a child, and the only way to help him detoxify is himself.The queen loved her son eagerly, and she did not hesitate to hurt herself to bring her from another world, just to detoxify Xiao Tingxuan.

As a mother, the queen is really loving and selfless.But as a woman, she is extremely selfish.

She hates, she resents, she is helpless, helpless, and even more heartbroken...

She didn't know where she was going, she only knew that she wanted to go to the battlefield now.Maybe it's just subconsciously not wanting to see that person lying in a pool of blood, or maybe...she misses him.

Regardless of the various excuses, she wanted to leave, desperately, eagerly.

Xiao Minglan understood her heart, and he was sad, but also slightly comforted.He can't give her happiness, so let's silently watch her happiness from behind.
