Don't be tempted, sir

Chapter 117 Things are

Shen Yining was taken to a palace by a lady. The garden they passed by looked very much like Shen's residence, but there were no relatives here. Alianyi came over happily, and Shen Yining stood up and saluted. Since the saint said that they had to observe the etiquette of the Qiang country, they had to do it.

"Yining, there's no need to be like this! I haven't seen you for two years. Do you still remember me, brother?"

"Greetings, my lord." Shen Yining bowed his head and greeted without responding.

Alianyi was puzzled: "Is Yining blaming the second brother for not saying anything just now?"

"Not yet."

Seeing her indifferent expression, Alian Yi suddenly felt how things had changed, but he still explained with a smile: "Yining, I didn't know I would live at that time. Could it be that Yining really forgot about my second brother? We grew up together in Tongzhou, picked oranges together, watched the snow together... Yining, it's my fault. I haven't seen you for two years, why is Yining so distant?"

Shen Yining looked at Alianyi in front of her, who was wearing a black robe and a golden crown. He still had a smile on his face as before. She was happy that he was alive, but times had changed and the only person in her heart was the person in the darkness.

"Master, Yining is glad to see you are well!"

Alianyi took her hand and looked at her tenderly: "I am also very happy to see Yining!"

The two of them talked at night like they did when they were children. Alianyi asked a lot about what happened in the past two years. Shen Yining told him a lot, but Alianyi did not mention Xiaoyuan at all. Shen Yining asked tentatively: "Master, did you let all the Liao people go today?"

Alianyi still raised his lips without any hesitation: "Yes, that's all."

Shen Yining clenched his sleeves, wondering if he really didn't know or if he did it on purpose.

"Master, Yining is a little tired."

A Lianyi was so happy that he remembered that Shen Yining had been on the road for a long time: "Okay, Yining, have a good rest, I will take you for a walk tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, take care, my lord."

After Alianyi left, the maid helped Shen Yining to wash and lie down on the couch, and then the maid went out.

After a long time, Shen Yining heard no movement, so he moved the table and chairs and jumped out of the window from the back. Under the moonlight, he looked up at the pavilion he remembered yesterday, and groped his way to Feiyu Pavilion alone. There was no one guarding it today, but the door of the pavilion was locked and he couldn't get in. He walked around and found no window. I wonder if Xiaoyuan is okay in there...

I stood under the moonlight for a long time. It would be good if I could get closer. I could always see Xiao Yuan! Finally, I returned to the bedroom with a smile.

"My Lord, the princess climbed through the window and went to Feiyu Pavilion."

Alianyi looked out the window. His Yi Ning had changed. She used to be well-behaved and sensible, and never did such things as climbing through the window. She still went to see that damn Song Xiaoyuan! He clenched his fists in anger.

The next morning, A Lianyi came early to have breakfast with Shen Yining. The table was full of Qiang cuisine. Seeing that she didn't eat much, she was silent after finishing her meal.

"Yining, are you not used to it?"

"I'm used to eating."

Alianyi put down his bowl and chopsticks: "Yining, don't you want to ask me about my life in Qiang State?"

What Shen Yining wanted to ask the most was when he would be released! "My Lord, I really don't know, or..." There were too many uncertain things now, so Shen Yining stopped talking halfway.

"Or what?" Alianyi raised the corners of his mouth, but his true emotion could not be seen.

"Nothing. Didn't you say you wanted to visit the Qiang Palace?"

"it is good."

Luo Xi was drugged by Xiao Shi that day, and was told that she shouldn't peek into the Saint's caged bird, thinking she was smart. Then she was thrown into the dungeon, and soon she lost her voice. Then she heard, saw, and smelled. At first she was thankful that at least the Saint didn't gouge out her eyes, but she panicked soon after. She curled up in fear in the corner of the dungeon, and was escorted to an unknown place in silence.

Zhao Jinmo brought her back. Luo Xi lost all her senses and felt like she was trapped in silent darkness. She was afraid and pushed Zhao Jinmo away. She didn't know who he was and struggled silently. If she had to die, she would do it resolutely. Otherwise, she would rather die herself.

Luo Xi was afraid of crying, Zhao Jinmo straightened her up and steadied her, took her hand and stroked his cheek. Although she couldn't hear him, he still comforted her softly: "I am Zhao Jinmo, Luo Xi, don't be afraid."

Luo Xi stroked his face and cried silently. Fortunately, she was not sold again. What she passed in her hand was his cheek...

Zhao Jinmo saw that she had calmed down a lot, so he poured the medicine on her hand and tapped the corner of her mouth. Luo Xi took the medicine and soon recovered her four senses. She hurriedly pulled Zhao Jinmo's sleeve and said, "Where is Miss Shen? This is a trap! You can't go..."

Zhao Jinmo lowered his eyes: "She left and got you back in exchange for the antidote."

Luo Xi loosened his sleeves and murmured to himself, "It's all my fault. I've implicated Miss Shen... If only..." If only, he would have banged his head against the wall and died in prison. This wouldn't have happened.

"Yining, she will go no matter what..."

Alianyi took Shen Yining to visit the orange orchard he was planting. Now the fruits were ripe, and the orchard was full of fruits, just like the orange orchards in Beijing. He picked a fruit and broke it into four petals. Shen Yining took it and put it in his mouth. It seemed sweeter.

"There is little rain in Qiang country, so the oranges are much sweeter than those in Beijing." Alianyi looked at her slightly raised mouth corners. Just like before, the corners of her mouth would be raised when she liked something.

"It should be sweeter. My Lord, you have worked hard to grow it. I think the orange orchard should look like this now."

Alianyi peeled another piece and handed it to Shen Yining: "In the past, I promised Yining that we would pick oranges together, but I broke my promise. But now, we can pick oranges and enjoy the moon together again."

Shen Yining took the peeled orange, looked down at it, and said with unclear emotions: "Changqing, I thought you were really dead. At first, I was also immersed in memories and was very sad."

At this point, Shen Yining raised his head with guilt: "I changed my mind, I'm sorry. I haven't forgotten you, Changqing. It's just that I don't care about you anymore."

"Yining, a lot has happened in the past two years. You and I have changed, but my feelings for you have never changed. We can start over!"

A Lianyi firmly believed that it was Song Xiaoyuan who bewitched his Yining. As long as he accompanied Yining to grow up as before, it was impossible for Yining to really not like him.

Shen Yining was speechless and remained silent for a long time. The two of them picked some oranges with Xiao Shi and visited other palaces. Alianyi always took them away from the western palace. Shen Yining also saw that he knew that Xiao Yuan was there!

Two days passed, and no one knew whether Song Xiaoyuan in the pavilion was dead or alive. Shen Yining had no intention of wandering around: "Master, I'm tired, I want to go back and rest..."

"Yining is tired, what about dinner..." A Lianyi was afraid that she was hungry, so he asked with concern.

"No need to trouble you, my lord. Thank you for your hard work today."

Shen Yining returned to his own bedroom, with a lot of thoughts in his mind. How to save Xiao Yuan, he was alone, and now he couldn't even take a look at her. As it got dark, Shen Yining climbed out the window again.

Arriving at Feiyu Pavilion, the door was not locked tonight! Shen Yining looked around and carefully opened the door and went in. It was still pitch black.
