169 You're here

Ye Lin ignored Ye Shuhe's words and did not look at Qin Ji again. He just suddenly felt tired, so tired. He slowly closed his eyes to prevent the emotions in his heart from coming out. He approached and muttered softly, "I want to be alone. You can retreat first."

"Brother Wang, Princess Xijing..." Ye Shuhe seemed to have something to say, but his expression was a little complicated.

Ye Lin still closed his eyes and said extremely tiredly, "Go out."

Ye Shuhe sighed helplessly, but he stopped talking and just waved his hand. The bodyguard took Qin Ji out. He frowned slightly but didn't say much and went out with the rest of the bodyguards.

No one heard Ye Shuhe's seemingly pitiful and helpless voice when he turned around and walked out of the door. He said, "It's really stupid."

Everyone retreated, full of silence. The slightly swaying candlelight in the room reflected Ye Lin's closed face, and then found that he had been biting his lower lip fixedly, as if only in this way could he feel better. A gust of wind rose, and the candlelight in the room seemed to be extinguished, but after swaying, it lit up again, and only the wick made a crackling sound in the silence of the room.

"Are you really gone... Xi'er..." Ye Lin's voice was very soft, as if a gust of wind could blow away his words. He gently sniffed the air here, as if there was still the smell of Bai Xijing. He stretched out his hand and wanted to grab something in vain, but when he opened his eyes, his hand was just nothing.

"Xi'er, did you use Qin Ji to avenge Qin Ji for humiliating you before, but also against me? Xi'er, this is unfair. If you really hate me, you should stay with me and watch how I die. How can you... how can you leave? Ye Lin's hand slowly clenched, and his face gradually turned pale.

No matter what you say or do, I just hope to keep you by my side, even if it's resentful and hateful, it doesn't matter, as long as she is around.

But now even she has left.

"You left like this, but I know that I can't protect you no matter how much I want to protect you." Ye Lin's beautiful face was full of helplessness, disappointment, unwilling but lonely and sad.

In this way, he looked at the candlelight in the room with his hands, but the emotions on his beautiful face slowly convered and finally returned to peace. He slowly took out a handkerchief from his sleeve, which was embroidered with beautiful and enchanting red leaves. This was given to him by her. Even though he knew that this handkerchief was just given to him by her, he kept carrying it close to him: "I told you many times that I like you, but... you don't believe it, you treat it as A joke, do you know how I feel?

"No, you don't know. I forgot that your eyes never stopped on me."

He became more and more bored, anxious and uneasy, but the expression on his face became more and more calm and indifferent. Ye Lin quietly looked at the handkerchief and wanted to tear it apart, but he couldn't bear it. He put the handkerchief back into his sleeve again, and then slowly stood up. The candlelight pulled his shadow very long. Long, but only a lonely person, like a sun dial, points in an unknown direction.

He suddenly remembered her words and said, "I wish you sit thousands of miles of rivers and enjoy boundless loneliness, king."

His eyes slowly closed and then opened again, but this time there was no emotion in his dark eyes. He straightened his back, proudly and resolutely pushed the door out of the door, looked at Ye Shuhe standing beside him, and slowly said, "Tell me everything you know."

Ye Shuhe took a deep look at him, but suddenly knelt in front of Ye Lin and said, "It's Shuhe who let Princess Xijing go and asked Brother Wang to be punished."

Du Kang, who turned out to be at the beginning, was just a cover, intended to lead Ye Lin away, and the north gate was the weakest. In order to retain Bai Xijing and his party, Ye Lin would definitely transfer the guards to the north gate, so that the defense in other places would be weak. And Bai Xijing was also picked up by Fang Siyuan in the chaos. Of course, it would not be so easy to complete this series of things if the palace did not respond, and it was Ye Shuhe who helped Bai Xijing escape.

Ye Lin's eyes suddenly became very deep when he heard the words. He fixedly looked at Ye Shuhe and suddenly emitted a pressure, so that Ye Shuhe almost dared not look up to see what Ye Lin's expression was now.

"Why did you do this?" Ye Lin said in a cold voice.

Ye Shuhe was silent and still knelt on the ground, looking fixedly at the ground in front of him.

"Ty!" Ye Lin's eyes were cold.

"Brother Wang forgives the crime, and Shu He can't say anything about the reason." Ye Shuhe shook his head and insisted.

Ye Lin grew up with Ye Shuhe. How could he not understand the meaning of his current expression? I'm afraid that no matter how he asks, he won't say it. Ye Lin slowly looked up at the dark sky, looked down at Ye Shuhe, and finally took a long sigh: "I'm afraid that this crime has to be investigated for letting Princess Xijing go without permission, but Nian saved my life and took back all the military power in your hand from now on, and I have been thinking about it for three months. You can't leave your mansion without my order.

"Yes." Ye Shuhe replied, and then took out the military charm from his arms and respectfully handed it to Ye Lin. After Ye Lin received the military charm, there seemed to be something fluctuating in his eyes, but he returned to peace in the next moment.

——*——————*————*————

At this time, Bai Xijing, who had escaped from King Ye's Palace, was being protected out of the city by Fang Siyuan. Seeing that the capital of Ye was getting farther and farther away from him, Bai Xijing suddenly sighed and said worriedly, "Why hasn't Du Kang caught up yet?"

Fang Siyuan took a thoughtful look at the scenery outside the carriage and said calmly, "Maybe something has been delayed. It's impossible to go back to find him now. He knows our route and will definitely catch up."

Bai Xijing looked up at Fang Siyuan. Now Fang Siyuan has become an ordinary woman. If she usually wants to smile, Bai Xijing may also want to smile, but now her heart is not only nervous but also inexplicably uneasy. Fang Siyuan just said that Du Kang led the pursuers away for them, and nothing else was mentioned, but she knew that there must be too much danger in it.

seemed to know what Bai Xijing was thinking. Fang Siyuan straightened her hand and whispered, "Xijing, you have to trust him."

Bai Xijing took a deep breath and nodded and replied, "Uh-huh."

"You are also tired these days. Go to sleep." His voice was soft and gentle. He stretched out his hand to circle Bai Xijing in his arms and let her lean against his chest. It seemed that he felt that Bai Xijing had lost weight again, and his eyes darkened, and he was very distressed to hold Bai Xijing tighter: "I'm sorry, Xijing, I picked you back so late. I'm sorry."

Smelling the familiar smell of Fang Siyuan's body, Bai Xijing's nervousness for several days was finally relaxed. She stretched out her hand around Fang Siyuan's waist and gently said, "Thank you."

Although Fang Siyuan never said it, Bai Xijing knew that the burden she was carrying was no lighter than anyone else, but even so, Fang Siyuan was still willing to take the risk of picking her out, and because of her "homely" she actually used most of his power to escort her back to the White Kingdom.

She knows best what this means. He gave up too many things for her, but never asked her for anything, just like this time he never mentioned that he was injured for her. If it hadn't been so close, how could she smell the faint blood on his body?

Bai Xijing found a comfortable position in his arms, and then slowly said, "When I woke up in King Ye Palace, I knew that you would definitely come to pick me up. And it's good that you're here."

Fang Siyuan also smiled gently when he heard the words, and then turned around and printed a kiss on Bai Xijing's forehead: "Xijing, you are seducing me."

Bai Xijing did not deny it, but smiled faintly, and then closed his eyes and fell asleep.

What lingered in the dream was the faint fragrance of Fang Siyuan's body and the sound of the carriage. She seemed to hear Fang Siyuan whispering, "Go to sleep, wake up, and we're home."

When Bai Xijing woke up again, it was already the next morning. Instead of staying in the inn, they casually found an honest farmer to live in. Maybe he had never lived in such a place. Bai Xijing only felt that he was in severe pain and uncomfortable. But when I saw the farmer's woman's simple smile, I was also relieved.

It's just that Bai Xijing didn't expect that Fang Siyuan was still dressed in women's clothes. She stood at the door and looked at him and suddenly wanted to laugh. It's just that she hasn't laughed yet, but the farmer's woman looked at Fang Siyuan first and said, "Miss Mu got up so early."

As soon as he heard the girl's two words, Bai Xijing couldn't help laughing, but made Fang Siyuan roll his eyes.

"But speaking of which, are you sisters? Why is there such a difference in height? The woman continued to speak.

This time it's Bai Xijing's turn to roll his eyes. Bullshit, if Fang Siyuan is as tall as her, that's okay.

After breakfast, Fang Siyuan pulled Bai Xijing back to his room. Bai Xijing looked at Fang Siyuan close the door and hurriedly squatted in a corner. Seeing Fang Siyuan turn around, she immediately raised her hand and said innocently, "I'm wrong. I know I'm wrong."

"Oh, right? Then why don't you accept the punishment? Come here."

"No, unless you promise not to do anything strange to me." Bai Xijing shook his head in a hurry and said.

"How is that possible?" Fang Siyuan replied honestly.

Bai Xijing hurriedly hugged his head and shrank in the shadow of the corner, very resentful.

Fang Siyuan ignored Bai Xijing's resentment, picked up Bai Xijing in the corner and kissed her face before he said, "Ye Lin came to chase us, but he was temporarily attracted by my men, but it doesn't mean that we are safe. I'm afraid... We can't wait for Du Kang anymore. What do you say?"
