Quick Wear: I am a good female supporting role
Chapter 165 Sickly Beauty 20
Outside Beijing, layers of lotus leaves spread out, and what meets the eye is endless lush green. The lotus flowers illuminated by the sun glow with a different brilliance.
Ji Junhao was in the pavilion. The time he and Xiao Lingruo had agreed upon was getting closer and closer, but he still couldn't see the beautiful figure he had been thinking about day and night.
His heart slowly cooled down, and he felt as if he had lost all his energy and felt cold all over. It was summer, but the sun was particularly scorching. He paced back and forth, and wherever the sun shone on him, a layer of red appeared on his face.
Just when he was about to give up and leave, a figure appeared in the distance.
"Ling Ruo!" Hope flashed in his eyes. She came to see him. Did it mean that there was still a possibility between them?
The woman in front of him was different from her usual sickly look. At this moment, her face was rosy, unlike before when she was bloodless.
Ji Junhao stared at Xiao Lingruo in a daze. She seemed to have changed a lot, yet it seemed as if nothing had changed.
"Brother, you invited me here, do you have anything to say to me?" she asked calmly, without a trace of affection in her eyes.
It was as if the previous crazy questioning was all Ji Junhao's illusion.
"Xiao Mo, I let her go."
"Yeah." She didn't have any emotions, even Ji Junhao's thoughts were different from her joy.
"I was wrong before. I shouldn't have ignored your feelings and thought you were being unreasonable. In fact, you love me terribly, right?"
He then said, "Lingruo, please come back, come back to me, break up with Yin Ji, and be with me..."
Xiao Lingruo shook his head, "That's not necessary, brother."
"Perhaps I was too paranoid before, so I forced you to let Liu Xiaomo leave. Now that I have left the palace and married, the Chen Palace should also have a mistress. Xiaomo is actually not bad, except that she is young and ignorant, but that can be trained and slowly corrected."
"I used to be jealous of Liu Xiaomo and thought you would fall in love with her, but I was so wrong. Love is something that can never be forced."
She still smiled gently, but there was no emotion in her eyes that Ji Junhao wanted to see.
Ji Junhao spoke fragilely, "Don't you love me anymore?" Why push him to other people.
He was afraid to hear the answer that would shatter his sanity. It was clearly midsummer, but he felt like he was in the cold winter.
"I know you were forced by your father to marry Yin Ji, and I know you have no feelings for him. Xiao Lingruo, you obviously still love me, right?"
There was pleading in his eyes, he didn't want to hear any other answer.
But Xiao Lingruo smiled and said, "I'm sorry, brother. In fact, during the time I spent with Yin Ji, I realized that my feelings for you were just brother and sister."
She said almost cruelly, "I don't love you anymore."
Ji Junhao felt like a drowning person, unable to breathe, "Impossible, we have been childhood sweethearts for so many years, have you forgotten everything?"
"Weren't all those things thrown away by the prince?" She looked at Ji Junhao calmly, as if nothing had happened.
"I can find someone to make another one. Oh, and here's the wooden ring. Look, Lingruo. This is the wooden ring we had when we were little. You promised to marry me back then." He suddenly thought of something, took off the wooden ring on his hand, and handed it to her like a treasure.
"Those were all things that happened when I was a kid. Don't take them seriously." She said in a light voice.
"Brother, it's time for you to let it go. I won't dwell on the past anymore. Let's just call it a day." She had been out for a long time, and Yin Ji would be worried.
Just as she was thinking, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. Yin Ji had been waiting for a long time under the peach tree ten meters away.
Xiao Lingruo: No wonder he wanted her to go to the outskirts of Beijing to meet Ji Junhao.
Yin Ji didn't feel guilty at all. When he saw her looking at him, he smiled at her.
Xiao Lingruo waved at him, motioning him to come over.
"Brother, it's getting late. I'm Yin Ji's wife. We should never see each other again."
She took the man's hand and squeezed it.
"Brother, take care."
Just like the last words Xiao Lingruo said to Ji Junhao on the day when he and Liu Xiaomo left the palace for Yuntai Temple.
Yin Jihui held her hand and said, "Let's go." Then he left with her.
I don't know when the sky was filled with thick dark clouds, accompanied by rumbling thunder, and bean-sized raindrops poured down. The lotus in the pond was beaten by the wind and rain and looked very wilted.
Ji Junhao stood there, looking at their backs as they walked away hand in hand. He stood there blankly, the rain hitting his face, and he couldn't tell whether it was rain or tears.
The sky was clear when I left, and the ground was poured with rain when I came back.
It was raining heavily outside. Xiao Lingruo, who returned to the Yin Mansion, pestered Yin Ji and asked him to stay with her in the house.
Yin Ji's indifferent and aloof face remained emotionless as always, but Xiao Lingruo noticed his slightly red earlobe.
She had evil thoughts and blew a breath in his ear, intending to tease him, but she was restrained the next second.
"Hmm?" She blinked her innocent eyes and looked at him. The next second, her red lips were blocked and she couldn't make any sound.
Perhaps, being in too good health is not a good thing, Xiao Lingruo thought.
The days go by, and autumn is approaching.
I heard that Prince Chen was caught in the rain a few days ago and fell seriously ill. After he recovered, he became very taciturn, which was very different from his previous temperament.
Old Prince Chen was also not idle. He was secretly looking for opportunities to win over people in the court, waiting to make his cause a step further. Although the aristocratic families said they would support him, it was limited to support and there was no way he could ask them to provide any help.
For this reason, Old Prince Chen, who is already old, was almost angry, but he just let it go. After all, it is better to have support than to have no support.
Unfortunately, there was a major reshuffle in the martial arts world. Those righteous people who secretly helped him all met with trouble while trying to suppress the Demon Cult, especially his biggest helper, the leader of the martial arts world, who was said to have died in a very tragic way. What a bunch of trash.
The emperor was getting older and older, and was still obsessed with alchemy, wanting to pursue the art of immortality. The court officials tried to persuade him in vain, and instead several loyal officials were beaten with a stick. For a while, everyone kept silent.
Old Prince Chen was even happier. It was worth it that he had stuffed several old Taoist priests into the palace and asked them to increase the dosage so that his good emperor could be born earlier.
The old emperor had few children, only one prince, who was made the crown prince, but his health was not good.
Although there is a crown prince, he is a sickly man and will not live long. He will secretly look for an opportunity to make the crown prince die "accidentally" and then appear as the old Prince Chen.
Being pushed to the position by everyone, wouldn't it be easy for him to seize the country?
But he didn't expect that while the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind it, and he was also part of the conspiracy.
