The stand-in didn't take it seriously for three years, and the minister was furious when they b

However, he was still disappointed.

Mu Lianzhi did not turn around. Even though the crisis was over, even though the spectators had dispersed, and even though he had come all the way here just to see her, she still did not turn around.

Beitang Yi raised his foot and stepped out of the threshold, but his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, as if it read "Keep Away, No Strangers" clearly.

Because of the accident and unpleasantness, no one wanted to stay any longer, and the banquet at the Marquis' Mansion was basically over.

The group left one after another. As soon as Beitang Yi walked out of the Marquis' Mansion, he looked up and made eye contact with Yu Hua.

Why is she here?

After the person who greeted him left, he slowly walked down the stairs and saluted her as usual:

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess—"

"Master Beitang, what a coincidence."

The two exchanged a few pleasantries. Beitang Yi didn't say anything after learning that she had gone out of the palace to do some business and had heard the sound of firecrackers from the Marquis' Mansion and happened to pass by. She also learned that the Marquis' Mansion was holding a banquet and had purchased a lot of rare and famous flowers.

The guests left one after another, and Beitang Yi was in no mood to deal with her. He was about to find an excuse to leave, but he heard her say:

"Speaking of which, I have some connections with the Marquis' Mansion. I thought I could feast my eyes and stay a little longer outside, but I didn't expect it to be a false alarm. What a coincidence."

"What a pity, otherwise we could... chat more."

Staring at him, Yu Hua had a look of regret on his face. Beitang Yi had no expression on his face and his voice was indifferent:

"It's the same if the Crown Princess has something to say here."

Ayi~

The lips had already formed his name, but in the end it turned into a helpless bitter smile:

"By the way, I haven't thanked you for what happened last time. Speaking of which, the Marquis' Mansion and I both owe you a glass of wine. It was thanks to you that Lord Ling was able to clear his name in advance. Thank you for letting him off the hook..."

I hope I'll have the chance to meet him again.

Yu Hua hadn't finished her words when she looked up and saw a slender and extremely beautiful figure appear at the door, her eyes looking straight at her. Suddenly, she was stunned.

The woman was dressed very plainly, with almost no color on her body. Only a pearl hairpin could be vaguely seen on her head. But among the ladies dressed in gorgeous attire, she stood out like a lotus flower emerging from clear water.

Such a pure and beautiful woman~

It’s hard to describe what’s so beautiful about her, but for a moment, Yu Hua was truly stunned.

Sensing something was wrong, Beitang Yi turned around subconsciously, and the next second, he met a pair of long-awaited but cold and indifferent eyes.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment.

However, he didn't even have time to be happy, as Mu Lianzhi curled the corners of her lips almost imperceptibly and then looked away.

It turned out that he released Ling Yuchi early for the Crown Princess.

No wonder~

After seeing off several distinguished guests, she turned around and went back without staying for a second.

It was like a dream. Watching the figure flash by before his eyes, Beitang Yi's heart suddenly sank to the bottom and he suddenly had a very bad premonition.

She is not avoiding suspicion nor is she forced, she just doesn't want to!

She didn't want to see him?

why?

Turning around suddenly, Beitang Yi could hardly hide the look of astonishment on his face.

"Ayi?"

Just when he was confused, the Crown Princess's gentle voice came again. Beitang Yi suddenly realized what was going on. In the end, he said nothing more, turned away with a sullen face, and left.

……

She blames him, she blames him!

After returning to Beitang Mansion, Beitang Yi had only this one thought in his mind. In the study, he kicked the pedal over.

bang~

There was a loud bang, and Yingfeng knelt on one knee almost reflexively:

"S-Sir?"

Sitting down on the couch, Beitang Yi tapped his aching brows:

"Why didn't you tell me she was so ill?"

No wonder so many letters he sent her fell on deaf ears. It's not that she had nothing to ask for or couldn't come. It's just that she didn't want to see him. She was probably already hating him.

She had never looked at him with such indifference and such a strange look.

After just a few days, the light in her eyes disappeared.

No wonder he was so helpless and bullied today. No wonder he didn't even shy away from her. She never even looked at him. From beginning to end, her eyes never lingered on him.

She had changed so much, and he hadn't noticed it in all this time?

"Uh?"

Ying Feng didn't know how to answer this question, because he didn't know either, and he couldn't tell how serious her illness was. But he knew that his master was in a bad mood, so he knew it.

"What's wrong with her?"

"Wind-cold, blood deficiency and qi-fire attacking the heart..."

Hearing Ying Feng's answer again, Beitang Yi closed his eyes, feeling as if his heart was being twisted to pieces:

"Angry? It turns out she wasn't trying to make me feel guilty, she was actually really angry?"

The scene of her climbing beside him, smiling sweetly, being quirky, and making a pinky promise with him like a child suddenly emerged in his mind, and Beitang Yi regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

He should have told her in advance.

Ling Yuchi's matter was not a big deal and would have come out sooner or later. He just happened to need to release him in advance. He thought it wouldn't have much of an impact, but he didn't expect her to care so much.

Thinking that she might have heard his conversation with the Crown Princess today, given her petty personality, she didn't know what she would think, and she would probably hate him even more. Beitang Yi couldn't sit still anymore:

"Why are you still kneeling? Go and ask Si Chao to come see me."

"I heard you getting angry outside the door."

Si Chao walked in with a few big strides, also in a hurry:

"What happened again?"

"She is sick, go and help her--"

He had already stood up and was about to blurt out the word "take a look". Suddenly, Beitang Yi stopped again, because he suddenly realized that he could not see her at all.

"Ah? Who, who is sick?"

Si Chao was completely confused. He really didn't understand what was said. He stared at Ying Feng on the side with puzzled eyes.

Looking up at the sky, Yingfeng gave him a look that said "figure it out for yourself".

His body collapsed, and Beitang Yi squatted back down dejectedly:

"She won't come to see me anymore. No matter how many letters I send or what methods I use, she probably won't show up again."

"I can't see her."

"But I want to see her, Si Chao, I want to see her..."

Want urgently.

The identity of a marquis and a widow actually kept him out, and he could only watch from afar!

Just like today, no matter how much he hated to see her tears, no matter how much he wanted to hug her, he could not do anything. At one point, he was even afraid to speak.

For the first time, Beitang Yi hated the two people's shameful identities.

It was also the first time that he missed the lovely woman who would wait for him to stick to her, laugh and make noises, act coquettishly to him, tidy up his clothes, and give him amulets.

His hand unconsciously reached for his waist, and Beitang Yi took out the small golden gourd, and his throat felt inexplicably sour.

His Zhizhi, he lost that gentle and beautiful her~

He had to get her back.

"She's sick, Si Chao, I want to see her!"

No matter what method he used, he had to see her.
