Nirvana In Fire

Chapter 157: Heartache



It was noon, and the scorching sun in July was so empty that the skin was roasted and hurt.

Because the sun is too poisonous, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and the merchants also try to move the stall back into the shadow of the eaves. The street is brightly and spaciously illuminated, so that Xiao Jingyan has no obstacles, and runs faster and faster all the way. It took a lot of energy to barely hang behind him.

After the Huarong Embroidery Workshop, turn a corner, the street opposite the main entrance of Su Zhai.

But just before the turn, Xiao Jingyan somehow suddenly strangled the reins, and the movement was so fierce that the crotch mount sizzled, the forefoot was raised, the horse was almost upright, and when it fell to the ground, Jing Yan's hand was loose, the whole The body fell from the horse's back and hit the ground heavily, frightening the enthusiasm that came afterwards, and the figure was flying, and he rushed forward to hold him up, busy checking the body for injuries.

But Xiao Jingyan didn't seem to feel pain, even as if he didn't even notice anyone coming by his side. His eyes were locked directly on the corner not far away, and his teeth were bitten.

As long as he turned there, it was Su Zhai. When he entered Su Zhai, he could walk in front of Xiaoshu, but he had to force himself to stop abruptly, even if he fell, he couldn't move on.

The Donggong Guards had also caught up at this time, and quickly surrounded them under the direction of benevolent gestures to isolate and protect the prince and drive the passing idlers to a distance.

In the circular space surrounded by a human wall, Xiao Jingyan kept sitting on the ground, covered with sweat, and his face was bloodless. The whole person was dazed for half a quarter of an hour, which was slow with the gentle support. Stand up slowly.

The mount that dropped him was right next to him, his nose blowing with a cool nose, and he took the initiative to snuggle the horse's head and bit the sleeve of the rider's floor.

Xiao Jingyan reached out and touched his pretty mane neck.

Once he pressed the saddle, he turned up again, but the direction of Songying's slow walking was the same way he ran.

"Your Highness?" Meng Zhi caged the horse bridle a little uncomfortably.

"Are you ... going back to the East Palace?"

"Go back to the palace ..." Xiao Jingyan muttered, "Since he refuses to let me know.

Naturally, he has the pains to do so, why should I have to know that it will add to his troubles in vain ... "

Meng Zhi understood what he meant, and his heart was hot, and there was hot bitterness in his throat.

The guards of the Donggong Guard changed their formation after training.

Change the enclosing defenses on all sides into front and rear guards to cooperate with the Prince's action.

But contrary to the hurricane that came when he came, Xiao Jingyan on the return trip seemed to be vented out of his chest, trance and confusion.

He didn't know how to describe his current mood. If he was delighted with the surviving of his friend, why would he be so depressed that he wanted to cut his chest with his knife? But if he resented his deliberate concealment, why did he feel so painful that he could barely breathe?

Who is Lin Shu? Lin Shu is a close friend who is proud and arrogant, contends for his strength, and never refuses to bow his head.

I never know why the cold winter snow is like a little fireman, it is joy that is excited, anger is like a tiger, and there has never been any hint of emotion in my heart.

Who is Mei Changsu? He smiled lowly.

The voice is faint, no one can see through what he thinks and thinks; he always embraces the Qiu furnace.

His gleaming eyes count as dangerous and evil-looking; his face is always pale as paper.

Seeing no breath, his fingers were always cold as ice.

It seemed to bring the coldness of hell.

He was like a blaze of ash after the flames were extinguished. Although it reminds people of the flames that once existed in the land, there is no longer the burning heat of the flame and the dancing gesture.

Xiao Jingyan found that he could not imagine the process of this change at all. One thought was that it was more painful and dark than the night without stars and moon.

Entering the East Palace, Meng Zhi personally came to help Xiao Jingyan dismount, but when the new prince stepped on the white jade stone steps of the main hall of the East Palace step by step, he suddenly felt that he was stepping on the back of his friend's teeth and his feet were soft, and he couldn't help but fall down before.

The forbidden army commander who was supporting him on the side also dwarfed himself, crouching and kneeling beside him.

Ji Wang and Yan Que, who were inexplicably thrown into the palace, ran out, but did not dare to get close. They could only stare at the distance like other Donggong guards.

"You always know, don't you?" After sitting for a long time, Xiao Jingyan finally raised his eyes and stared at his sincere face.

But the determined man escaped his sight and didn't know what to say.

Xiao Jingyan clenched his teeth, and with one hand, he clamped the benevolent right wrist like iron tongs. His palms were hot and hot. "How do you know? Do you recognize it?"

"Yes ... he contacted me ..."

Xiao Jingyan's eyes were a little red, and he slowly read the name: "Xiaoshu ... Xiaoshu ... He is my best friend, but why, when he returned to the imperial capital for the rest of his life after the robbery, Contact me first? "

Meng Zhi persuaded him slowly: "His Royal Highness, Xiaoshu has different expectations from you. You should understand his mind about this."

"Yeah ... I understand, if I don't understand, why would I just come back like this ..." Xiao Jingyan even took a few breaths, but he couldn't stop the shaking of his lips, "But Meng Qing, you must tell me, he Why did it become like this? What terrible thing happened to him? That was Xiaoshu! You and I all know what kind of person Xiaoshu is. I even thought that even if he broke his whole person again Pretend that he will always be that brilliant Lin Shu ... "

Xiao Jingyan's last sentence was nothing more than a metaphor, but it sounded in his ears, but it seemed to have pierced the knife into his heart, pulling it in and out, making his long-forgiving complexion turn green and yellow.

"You must know," Xiao Jingyan's eyes were hotter than the July sunshine, and he came straight forward without relaxing, "He refused to say, I will not force him, but I want to hear you say, you say!"

"His Royal Highness ..." Meng Zhi seemed to be completely crushed by him, but after lowering his head, he still shook his head and said, "I promised him ..."

"Okay," Xiao Jingyan didn't entangle him too much.

Suddenly stood up, and finally seemed to find the strength of the whole body, "Come!"

"in!"

"Ready to drive.

Enter the palace! "

"Yes!"

Meng Zhi stepped forward as if to dissuade.

But his lips moved a few times without saying a word.

"Uncle Wang, Lord Hou, is rude.

I have important matters to deal with now. I will invite the two to talk about it later. Xiao Jingyan strode up the stone steps.

Ji Wang and Yan Que at the entrance of the temple bowed their hands, but the two had not yet reacted. He had turned quickly, ran to the outward hall, and jumped into the newly-arrived prince's car. Tao: "Go! Move faster!"

The two people who had been hanging in front of the hall had to cast their doubtful eyes on the front ground, but they finally got a bitter smile and a short sentence that could not be interpreted as an explanatory explanation: "It ’s a long talk, I will have a chance to say it later ... … "

There are still some late guests in the palace of Jing Concubine who haven't left yet.

These people hurried out to meet.

Xiao Jingyan smiled with a faint smile on his face, and his manners were very thoughtful, but the first sentence he said after entering the hall was: "Mother Concubine.

The baby brought you a gift that can only be seen by you.

Would you like to check it out now? "

Say this sentence.

The fool didn't understand it, and the congratulatory guests hurriedly finished congratulations.

One after another quit, and soon the entire palace was cleared.

Concubine Jing was naturally doubtful about her son's return. Looking at his actions again, he immediately understood that there was something urgent to say, so he immediately turned away and brought him into the inner hall.

"Mother Concubine," Xiao Jingyan entered the hall and stood still. He asked straight away, "What kind of illness did Xiaoshu get?"

Jing Fei was shocked, and the next one was careless, almost staggering, but then she stabilized her mind and turned to stare at her son.

"You heard it right.

My question is Xiaoshu ... I do n’t think you will tell me, you do n’t know who Xiaoshu I am referring to now? "

The initial shock passed quickly. Jing Fei's expression changed from surprise to sorrow, and she slowly sat down holding the armrest of the seat.

"Lin Shuai, who changed his name to Shi Nan, had rescued his mother who was a medical daughter when traveling abroad, and then brought her back to Lin Fu for wing protection, didn't she?" Xiao Jingyan continued, "The mother's past incidents have never been mentioned before However, as long as you do n’t mention it, other people will certainly not tell me.

So when you really talk about the old friend, I never thought that the old man would be Shuai Lin ... "

"So how did you perceive the ground in the end?" Jing Fei asked with a sigh.

"Something happened today, I talked to Yanhou ..." Xiao Jingyan stepped forward and squatted down in front of his mother's knee. "But these are not important, the important thing is ... What is wrong with Xiaoshu now? You finished his diagnosis. The veins shed tears. Is he very sick? "

After thinking for a while, Jing Fei nodded slowly: "It's very heavy ..."

"What should I do?" Xiao Jingyan suddenly felt a panic and suddenly grabbed his mother's hand. "Xiaoshu can trust her mother's medical skills, should you have a way?"

Jing Fei pondered for a moment, lowered her eyelashes to cover her eyes, and said softly: "There are better people around Xiaoshu than me. I must be able to keep him alright ..."

"Then how long will he be cured of this disease?"

"This ... I'm not sure, maybe tomorrow ... maybe next year ..."

If Xiao Jingyan can understand the true meaning of his mother ’s sentence, he will jump up immediately, but unfortunately he does not know, so he feels a little comforted, "No matter how long, it can be cured.

But why is it that he looks like he is sick now? Jing Fei shook her head, "Xiaoshu's appearance changed, not because of illness, but because he had a poison of fire and cold before. After the detoxification, his face will change greatly ..."

"Then he has changed, that means the poison has been removed, isn't it?" Xiao Jingyan was slightly pleased. "Because of the detoxification, the body becomes so weak that it is easy to get sick, and it takes time to recuperate, right?" "

Jing Fei stared at him for a long time before he nodded slightly, "Yes ..."

"That's all right," Xiao Jingyan's tight body finally relaxed a little, and stood up. "I understand why he couldn't rest in peace before, but I'll do it afterwards, as long as he concentrates on treating the disease.

Mother, is he the same symptom every time he gets sick? "

"It depends on what causes it. The cold, fatigue, and emotions cause different symptoms." Xiao Jingyan said firmly: "It doesn't matter, Xiaoshu won't be affected by cold in the future.

As for emotions, happiness should be no harm? "

"Happy is not harmful at any time," because the flash of light flashed in the eyes, Jing Fei's smile looked a bit sad, "You want him to be tall." What is his wish, I know best, "Xiao Jingyan took a deep breath. The eyes are shining, "I will speed up, let him see the stigmatized snow one day earlier, and he will feel more at ease when he recuperates ..."

"Jing Yan," Jing Fei grasped her son's hand, and said solemnly, "You don't want to take risks, the situation has reached this situation, maybe you can still stand the failure, but Xiaoshu can't stand it anymore, do you understand? "

Xiao Jingyan squeezed her lips hard and nodded heavily. "The mother princess is at ease. I know that I have to grasp the size. Xiaoshu is still watching behind. I won't come."

Jing Fei's heart suddenly felt like she had been bitten off. She also knew that Jing Yan would insist on doing things step by step when Xiaoshu looked at it, but how long could Xiaoshu watch? Can he support it so hard until the day when Lin's grave is rebuilt?

"Looking back now, I can understand why Xiaoshu refused to tell me," Xiao Jingyan saw her mother's look sad, thinking she was sad just thinking about everything in the past, and could not help but hold her hand tighter, "If I was early I know his identity, this way probably won't come over like this ... "

"Jing Yan, for more than a year, you are more and more calm and conscientious, and you are more and more worth relying on. Xiaoshu must be very relieved," Jing Fei bit her lower lip hard, and her face finally recovered calm and gentle, softly. "So, you don't have to regret it, you don't have to be sad, don't let it down, don't add more trouble to him."

Xiao Jingyan pondered for a moment and nodded silently.

"Okay, go back to the palace.

His Majesty will come over later, saying that he will discuss your big marriage.

In the past few days, Li Shangshu will also go to the East Palace to report the preparations to you ... "

"Mother Concubine," Xiao Jingyan frowned anxiously. "It's enough to follow the regulations. How can I feel now ..."

"Jing Yan," Jing Fei's face was slightly sharp, "You only promised to be calm, forgot? The big marriage is not for the scenery, the crown prince is appointed by your father and emperor, and the old Liu will be equal, his The granddaughter is also gentle and gentle. From your majesty's side, he wanted to determine your temperament. But for you, this marriage also has great benefits. At least in your attitude, you can't show contempt. Look, okay? "

In fact, Xiao Jingyan knew long ago, but at the moment he was in a state of confusion. He complained casually. After being blamed by his mother, he knew that he was speechless and dared not to fight any more. At the sight of him coming out, he greeted him busy.

Xiao Jingyan glanced at the glorious honorary prince's ceremonial honor, and felt even more troubled and stinging in his heart, where he was willing to go to the forbidden pace, and flicked his hand and walked out.

Mengzhi waited at the corridor of Jialang in the outer palace gate. Although he was anxious in his heart, his face didn't show much.

As soon as Xiao Jingyan appeared, he looked closely at his face. Seeing that the Highness seemed to have restrained himself, he felt a little loose, and he stepped forward and asked him to salute rigorously.

"Meng Qing is exempt." Xiao Jingyan glanced at him lightly and said, "There are more and more political affairs in this palace. Martial arts training will inevitably retreat. Meng Qing is the first master of the Liang.

Meng Zhi understood what he meant, kneeling on one leg, and solemnly replied: "Secretary, lead the prince."
