Lingyun Jianghu

That night, Zhongshan County had the biggest snowfall since the beginning of winter.

That night, when Ling Yu was healing his wounds, he felt restless and his blood vessels swelled, causing the old injuries to recur.

Nalan Ling lingered in front of her window and never left.The heavy snow covered her, drowning her footsteps when she came. She drove Ling Chang'an away and stayed alone in the west chamber.

After the New Year's Eve, it's time to usher in the early spring, but Zhongshan County is like the sky falling, and the blizzard is raging.The cold wind was blowing, and Nalan Ling wanted to knock on the door several times, remembering Master's repressed anger expression, and stopped again.

Master's emotions affect her, but she can't tell anyone about the fake marriage.This matter can be big or small, seriously, she is cheating on the marriage, Ling Changan is cheating on the emperor, the less people know the better, not to mention she knows that if Nalan Qing knows the truth of the matter, she will definitely be the first to object.

It's only been three years, and after three years, she will return to Lingyun Pavilion to accompany her master.Three years later, I will tell Master the truth about this.

It was nightfall, the candles in Ling Yu's wing had not been extinguished, Nalan Ling never left, it was already so late, why didn't Master go to bed?

She mustered up her courage and knocked on the door lightly, "Master, are you asleep?"

"Crack" a cloud of snow slipped from between the glazed tiles and landed behind her, and the candles in the room were extinguished following the sound.Nalan Ling's mood plummeted, she folded her arms sadly, feeling cold and hurt.

Where does it hurt?It was as if the heart had been stabbed by something, and it hurt a little.

Inside the house, the burning charcoal in the brazier made a screeching sound. Under the snowy light, the house was still bright, and Ling Yu's pale face was bloodless.She gently wiped the bright red from the corner of her mouth, and faced the double torment of memory and reality alone in this lonely night.

She knew that Nalan Ling was there, but she didn't have the courage to take another look.This suffering of reincarnation is really suffering.Isn't the most suffering in the world love and parting?The pain of regaining the original is even more unforgettable.

Ling Yu raised his elbow, looked at the deep-rooted wound on his palm, and smiled desolately.

"Ling'er, our fate is over in this life, remember to look for me in the next life." She kissed the palm of her hand lightly, her eyes were slightly closed, two lines of hot tears came out of her eyes, the back of her hand was so hot that she trembled, and her heart twitched intermittently.

The long night greets dawn in plush snow.The ethereal world is as white as jade, and the cold can't stop the people from welcoming tomorrow's new year. At the same time, the news that Na Lanling is going to marry Ling Chang'an comes from Zhongshan County.According to the law of etiquette, when a local prince seals a concubine, he should report it to the imperial court, and the first wedding invitation is sent to the Jihuang Palace.

Na Lanling didn't want to make a fuss, but the basic etiquette couldn't be lost, so she had no choice but to send a second wedding invitation to Shennonggu. The third invitation was supposed to be for Ling Yu, so she didn't need to do anything extra in the mansion.

Both Nalan Ling and Ling Changan's parents are no longer alive, the eldest sister is like a mother, Ling Yu and Nalan Qing should be the officiant, Ling Yu should be in the seat and accept the worship.

No one knew how cruel this matter was to Ling Yu, but she readily accepted it.Na Lanling and Ling Chang'an have three chapters in the agreement. First, they will never sleep together after they get married. Second, she will never change her name to call Ling Yu's sister. Third, she has the final say on when to end this fake marriage.

At the same time, she also promised Ling Changan that if she fell in love with him during the relationship, she would be his real wife.

As for the crowned lady Fang's surname being the princess, as long as the Ling family has no objection, except for more gossip, it will not affect their plans.If this matter is successfully completed, not only will the Nalan family gain both fame and fortune, but Prince Zhong will also be famous all over the world.

Everyone gets what they need, Nalan Ling believes that this is a deal, both parties are willing to compromise for hidden interests, and she doesn't care about gossip, there are not many things she cares about in this world now, except Ling Yu.

In the dark, gourd lanterns flicker candles wantonly, Zhongshan County is brightly lit, there are no disputes, only the noise of festivals and the peace of living and working in peace and contentment.

The New Year's Eve is approaching, and Ling Yu was supposed to have a reunion dinner with Hehe, but Ling Yu disappeared.The people in the mansion searched all over the palace but did not see her, and the guards at the main gate and side gate also did not see her leave.

Nalan Ling was not interested in a family banquet, "Where did Master go? Did he leave?" She still had some selfish intentions in agreeing to get married at this time, even if Ling Yu could stay a little longer.

"My sister will not break her promise." Ling Changan thought with his hands on his cheeks, "There is still a place..."

"where?"

"Ling's Ancestral Hall."

Nalan Ling walked away, fearing that her legs would be too slow, she simply used her shadow to fly, shuttled between pavilions, terraces, waterside pavilions, Qionglou and Yuyu, and arrived at the ancestral hall in the deepest part of the palace in a short while.

In the secluded ancestral hall, you can occasionally hear the hustle and bustle of the city.The common people decorate with lanterns and festoons, and Huludao boat lights are all burning, radiant and beautiful.

Ling Yu knelt in front of the spirit tablets of the ancestors of the Ling family and remained silent. The hustle and bustle of the mundane world and the joy of the New Year seemed to have nothing to do with her.The former Emperor Yu had very few heirs, only one son and one daughter. She and Ling Changan were not siblings, but they had a very good relationship.

She will never marry for life, and will not raise children. Ling Chang'an should spread the branches and leaves for the Ling family.Ling Yu has always longed for him to marry a wife and have children, but never thought that this person would be her Ling'er...

"Father... you can rest in peace, Chang'an is about to get married, and he is marrying the best woman in the world, and my ministers will not stop them, I wish..." Ling Yu's heart trembled when he said these words, obviously the pain was unbearable , obviously sadder than anyone else, she can only hide all her emotions.

She paused, took a long breath, and then slowly said: "May Ling'er...be able to be for the Ling family...be able to be for the Ling family..."

She clasped her inner palm tightly with her fingers, pinched her palm with her nails, and couldn't dispel the sadness in her heart no matter what.She couldn't say it, she couldn't say the words "open branches and leaves".

She took a knife to gouge out her heart every day, and through repeated torment, she accepted this unchangeable fact.

The candles in the ancestral hall were burning recklessly, and Ling Yu's heart could not be illuminated no matter what in this open and bright place.

Half of her life was like a reincarnation, she kept losing, and finally everything was empty, and she became nothing.

After Nalan Ling found the ancestral hall, she saw her kneeling there, her back was frozen, motionless, making the whole palace feel bleak, it should have been a lively night, but she was extremely heavy, "Master~~ "

The words I want to say are stuck in my throat, and the melancholy and depression I don't know why, linger in my heart every day.She didn't know what happened to herself, nor did she know what happened to Master?

"Master~" She stood for a long time before she dared to call out.

Ling Yu didn't respond, her stiff body was already numb.Her beautiful eyes moved, but she didn't turn around.

"Master, today is the New Year's reunion night. Chang'an has prepared a vegetarian family banquet, waiting for you to go." Nalan Ling was a little afraid, afraid that Ling Yu would be silent indifferently if she said anything, and afraid that she would not get Ling Yu's support for whatever she did. In response, she still wanted to be able to act coquettishly to Ling Yu like she did a while ago, to play chess and play musical instruments together, but now, she became terrified. If this decision affected the relationship between master and apprentice, it would be too much for the loss.

Will Master just ignore me?She was so nervous that she didn't dare to approach her, but dared to stand behind her and look at her from afar.

After a while, Ling Yu replied slowly: "Got it."

When she stood up, a sense of dizziness hit her, and her legs were numb due to kneeling for a long time, and she staggered when she got up.Nalan Ling rushed up to support her, "Master, what's wrong with you?"

Ling Yu withdrew his hand strangely, and said lightly: "It's okay, let's go."

"Master~" Nalan Ling called helplessly, and Ling Yu's indifference made her very disappointed.She followed dejectedly, and the thick ice under her feet made her slip.

"Ouch~" Nalan Ling stepped on the ground depressedly, "Master ignores me, even you bully me."

Few people came to the backyard, the snow had not been cleared, and it was normal for the road to slip. Nalan Ling was absent-minded, so it was easy to slip and fall.

She stumbled to stand up, but saw Ling Yu's arm stretched out, "Your feet are unstable, you are restless, easy to slip, hold me up."

Na Lanling chuckled lightly, "I knew that Master would have to ignore me." She happily held Ling Yu's arm, one hand was not enough, two hands almost hugged her arm, Ling Yu's arms were slender, as if they could be stretched with force. Can break.Nalan Ling hugged her distressedly. Looking from the side, Ling Yu's complexion was not good, her face was bloodless, and her voice was like a thread, "Master, are you uncomfortable?"

"No, maybe I didn't sleep well." Ling Yu sighed softly. After all, she couldn't bear it, and she couldn't bear to look at him coldly. She clamped her arms tightly and wrapped Nalan Ling's hand with seemingly insignificant strength.

Nalan Ling's heart warmed, and she held Ling Yu's hand even tighter. Along the way, plum blossoms are in full bloom, red-chip lamps and candles are in full bloom, and fire trees and silver flowers are always in the sky. She hopes that this road will not come to an end. Holding hands together, fingers intertwined naturally.

With their palms facing each other, Nalan Ling felt the friction of the scar. She stopped and took Ling Yu's hand to see that the scar on her palm was exactly the same as her own.She spread out her palms and leaned against each other, with the wounds forming a thread.

"Master, how did you get this injury?"

Ling Yu's heart ached, and Na Lanling knew that their blood was intertwined, and they shouldn't have been separated.How did Nalan Ling know that they were born and died so many times, and they never really separated.

Nalan Ling didn't know anything, the past was all the rage, and she was the only one left with memories.From then on, the world was full of happiness, and she was the only one who died of lovesickness.

Ling Yu chuckled and replied calmly: "I accidentally scratched it."

"Accidentally scratched both of us, who has the ability?" Nalan Ling didn't believe it, how many people could hurt her with Master's martial arts.

Ling Yu stared at the wound in a daze, the words she had said before were still in her ears, and they would use this scar to recognize each other in the next life.This life is already like this, it is useless to say more.

"I've always encountered danger, so it's fine now that nothing happens." Ling Yu forced a smile, but Nalan Ling felt strange. Even if his palm was hurt a little, the scar would not be so deep. If it hadn't been repeated repeatedly , How could this wound be left behind?

The master hesitated to speak, clearly because he didn't want to tell himself about the past.It was because I didn't live up to expectations that I got a serious illness and forgot everything, otherwise how could I have such a sense of alienation from the master.

The footsteps involuntarily slowed down, and the two walked in tandem again.Nalan Ling felt a dull pain in her heart and couldn't explain clearly.

At the vegetarian banquet, the two nuns waited with two sets of wedding dresses and smiling faces.As soon as the two stepped into the hall, the fiery red Panlong brocade and Phoenix brocade came into view.

"What is this?" Nalan Ling's face darkened, and Ling Chang'an's eyes were watery, and he said gently: "The mother said that I have chosen two sets of wedding dresses, let you and my sister take a look together, the auspicious day is also optimistic, five It will be an auspicious day in the future, what do you think?"

"Whatever." Nalan Ling turned to look at Ling Yu.

Ling Yu stared at the two sets of phoenix crowns and xiapei in a daze. The coiled dragon brocade was majestic and dignified. The magnificent phoenix crown and the radiant emerald-carved wings were dazzling.On the phoenix brocade, mandarin ducks are playing in the water, the patterns outlined by the gold thread are lifelike, and the peonies are blooming, swaying and shining.

She rolled up the phoenix brocade and caressed it up. In her mind, Nalan Ling was wearing a wedding dress, which was breathtakingly beautiful.Panlong brocade is deeply loved by the daughter of the king and grandson, and Ling'er will be as noble as a princess when she wears it: "These two sets are very suitable for Ling'er."

"In that case, why don't Master accompany me to try these two sets of wedding dresses together." I don't know whether it was out of anger or what, when Nalan Ling said this, she felt a little regretful. It was Ling Yu who was wearing a red dress.

Ling Yu remained silent, she really wanted to see Ling'er wearing a phoenix coronet and Xiapei, but she was also afraid to see that she was so beautiful, but she didn't belong to her.If you want to see but don't dare, if you want to avoid it, you can't deceive your heart.

Linger, what do you think I should do?What can I do with you?

Ling Yu seemed to have swallowed the most bitter fruit in the world, holding it in her throat, allowing the bitterness to overwhelm herself, and in the end she just smiled bitterly, "Okay, I will try on the wedding dress with you."
