Chapter 45
The person Yingying doesn't want to see the least now is Qin Rong, but she is uncontrollable. Her mind is full of this man.
The pool water dragged Yingying's feet to float, and the hem of the skirt fluttered across her ankles. This touch made her remember her previous life again.
On the hot summer day, she was dissatisfied with Qin Rong locking her in the Golden Hall, so she jumped down from the lake pavilion and swam outside the Golden Hall.
She didn't expect that when she came out of the lake, she happened to arrive at the Imperial Garden. Qin Rong was playing chess with Qiu Yu in the Fengya Water Pavilion. The secret guards waiting beside him found Yingying and almost killed her as an assassin.
At that crisis, Yingying not only did not think about explaining the misunderstanding, but also went to see Qin Rong with curiosity. So she was panicked when she saw Qin Rong for the first time. The black piece he held in his hand fell on the chessboard, and stood up with a muffled sound and ordered the secret guard to stop.
That time, although the secret guard stopped in time, Yingying was still injured.
She was not seriously injured, and because she had been soaking in the lake for too long, she didn't feel much pain. But strands of red blood appeared on the lake surface, looking a little scary. Qin Rong hugged her tightly when she pulled her out of the water. He covered her wound with one hand, and her drooping eyelashes were trembling.
Yingying couldn't help but raise her hand and touch his eyelashes. She smiled heartlessly in his arms. Qin Rong stared at her smiling face with her dark eyes, and then wiped the water stains on her face with the sleeves of the dragon robe. Her handsome face was pale than before.
Although Qin Rong didn't say anything at that time, Yingying always felt that this man probably cared about her.
But now I think about it, how much is that concern?
Yingying couldn't help but think of what Zhao Shi said again, and her heart felt like a thorn was pricked, making her feel hot and uncomfortable all over, and even some of the good memories of her previous life became false and ugly.
"Qinrong, I hate you so much." Yingying looked at the man standing in front of her with her eyes open. Instead of getting up, she covered her eyes with her arms.
A rustling sound rang in his ears, and Qin Rong did not leave because of Yingying's words. He squatted beside her and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
Yingying sniffed and wanted to cry. She didn't want to pay attention to him and felt uncomfortable not saying anything in her heart. She just stubbornly stole this for a while, but Qin Rong took the initiative to ask her: "Have you gone to see Zhaoshi?"
Yingying still ignored him and ignored him until a warm touch came from the back of her hand. When Qin Rong covered her hand with her, she raised her hand vigorously and shook it away, sat up and said angrily: "Don't touch me!"
Qin Rong's hand was thrown away by her, and her wide sleeves were shaking in the wind.
"Okay, I won't touch you." He stood up without any intention of being angry.
Yingying used to like his gentle and kind-hearted appearance the most, but now she feels that his appearance is full of conspiracies.
The sun was getting lower and lower, and the red glows in the sky were emitting golden light. Yingying looked at the falling glow reflected on the water and asked him, "Did you know I am Fengming for a long time?"
Qin Rong replied: "Yes."
So Yingying asked again: "When did you know?"
Qin Rong was silent for a moment, but didn't hide it, "It's very early."
How early was it? He didn't even count it seriously even though he was early.
Yingying completely gave up because of his words, "So... you married me because of this?"
Since Qin Rong had all had a showdown with her, she would not deny it in this matter. Yingying had already thought about how to scold Qin Rong for a while, but she was stunned after Qin Rong spoke.
"I marry you because you are Fengming, but so what?"
The sun fell halfway, and the sky not far away was dark red and strong. Qin Rong leaned towards Yingying in this sunset. He covered his hand on her face and stared at her seriously: "Even if you are not Feng Ming, this result will not change."
Simply put, if Yingying is Feng Ming or not, he would marry her.
Yingying was stunned. Only Qin Rong had the afterglow in her eyes, and a light light came into his eyes. Yingying was lost in his dark eyes, and she leaned back stiffly, and asked dryly: "What do you mean?"
Qin Rong lowered her eyes and smiled without looking back. Her right hand, which was folded on her face, moved back to the back of her neck. Qin Rong bent her knees and approached her, answered her question with actions.
Breathing in harmony, Yingying felt her soft lips bitten gently, as if she was tickling with her fluttering feathers, her whole body was itchy and inexplicably comfortable. The sun completely set, and with the last ray of sunlight disappeared, Yingying was held in Qin Rong's arms, and he leaned on her ear and whispered: "The third brother actually likes you very much."
He liked Yingying long before he learned about her fate.
The earliest encounter between the two was that the ignorant little girl was wearing a scarlet tassel skirt with a circle of golden bells hanging around her neck. She kept ringing while sitting under the tree with her knees.
When Qin Rong approached, he saw the little girl Lingling staring at him with her big clear eyes, her eyes full of joy and surprise.
Accustomed to the ugliness of human nature under the struggle for power, Qin Rong stopped because of her excessively transparent eyes. Then he saw the little girl spread her arms at him, her chubby little face filled with a bright smile, and she shouted that she wanted to hug him.
She was obviously walking, and sitting here alone seemed pitiful, actually having fun, but when she saw him, she had to pretend to be afraid and asked him to hug her. So he picked her up, and the bell on the girl's body jingled violently with her movements. Qin Rong lowered her eyes and saw the girl's extremely bright smile, her bright eyes blinking, and she didn't think about going to hide her previous lies.
She called him a beautiful brother, nestled on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his neck, lying gently in his ear and muttering: "My name is Yingying."
"It's Yingying."
"Beautiful brother, don't forget Yingying."
After so many years, Qin Rong still remembers Yingying, but his Yingying doesn't want him anymore. If Yingying hadn't suddenly resisted him in every way, he wouldn't have tied people to his side by way of giving marriage.
“…”
Yingying almost ran away in a panic.
When she pushed Qin Rong away and ran back to the room, she felt that there was still a feeling of his on her lips, warm, soft and cool, soothing her hot and surging emotions.
Wearing a wet skirt, Yingying rolled around in her pillow, and she called out the system that had not spoken for a long time and asked: "Did you tell Qin Rong the truth?"
The system said lazily: [I don’t know, I’m not strong enough to peek at people’s hearts.]
Yingying didn't wait to dislike it, and the system changed its voice: [But I can sense the host's emotions. You seemed very excited just now.]
Yingying was choked and opened her mouth and retorted: "I was scared by him!"
The system snorted coldly and obviously didn't believe it. It raised a very sharp topic: [No matter whether Qin Rong was telling the truth or the lies, they would be happy with you at least. What about you? Do you like him?]
Yingying regretted it, she felt that she shouldn't have called the system out. She was speechless when asked by the system. She was confused for a long time but couldn't tell the answer.
“What does it feel like to like?”
Yingying brought Gu Lingxiao out and said: "I have lived for two lifetimes, and I only know that I like my brother."
"I'm very worried when my brother is injured. If my brother is angry with me, I will be in a bad mood. I'm also afraid that my brother will leave me again. If he can be safe, even if he marry Qiu Yu home this time, I will not go and make trouble again."
Yingying really doesn't know what she feels about Qin Rong. She only knows that even though she was locked into the Golden Palace in her previous life, she still relied on Qin Rong while being afraid of Qin Rong. Yingying treats human life like a wild man, but she never thought of hurting or killing Qin Rong.
Only that time...
Qin Rong let her watch Gu Lingxiao die in front of her. She knew that it was all her fault, but when she woke up in a daze for several days, she suddenly had the idea of killing him.
At that time, Yingying realized that in her heart, her brother was more important than Qin Rong.
[You will be sad if you kill your brother, then won’t be sad if you kill Qin Rong with your own hands?] On the issue of emotions, the system is not as good as Yingying.
Yingying shook her head and replied, "I didn't succeed again, and he broke my hand again."
So that time she was angry and painful. She never thought that she would be sad after killing Qin Rong.
After suffering so many losses, Yingying still felt that Qin Rong was likely to deceive her based on her past and present life. So after that day, she was stuck in the room for a long time and finally decided to take a gamble. She didn't want to marry Qin Rong so easily, and she didn't want to be snatched up as a tool.
She began to think about how to make the paper engagement invalid without hurting the Gu family.
Before she could come up with an idea, news came from the imperial city, and a large number of aliens poured into the northwest border. After secret investigation, most of them were soldiers from Pingsha and Haowen, and a small number of spies were mixed with.
In recent years, several cities on the border have been invaded by Pingsha people from time to time. Taking advantage of the summer vacation of Emperor Wucheng in Jiuhua Palace, Haowen soldiers have become more arrogant in recent days, burning, killing and looting the city directly. Some people directly reveal their identity as the official of Haowen Army.
These actions are undoubtedly a declaration of war.
Due to this change, the summer vacation in Jiuhua Palace ended early. Except for Queen Mother Zhao Xuan and his party, the rest hurriedly returned to the imperial city with Emperor Wucheng.
When Yingying learned the news, she quickly asked the system: "I remember when Pingsha and Haowen attacked the northwest border in the past life, it was in the late autumn. How could this time be so early?"
The system is very calm: [Your actions after rebirth will cause a series of chain unknown reactions, which is normal.]
Yingying didn't care, after all, such things as the battlefield had little to do with her, and the war on the northwest border in her previous life did not affect the people around her, except... Qin Rong.
The group left as soon as they said they could. Emperor Wucheng issued an order that day, and early on the third morning, they set foot on the carriage back to the imperial city.
As he came, Yingying wanted to get into her aunt's carriage, but Qin Rong appeared behind her at some point. He held her hand and said, "Go to my place."
All the words of rejection came to his mouth, and Qin Rong calmly added: "Today is the seven-day period."
As Zhao Shi's incident passed, Yingying's medicine box was never found. She asked Zhao Shi about this matter, and Zhao Shi said with certainty that he had not done anything. Although the sachets he gave could relieve a small part of the pain, they could not help Yingying detoxify.
Yingying stopped talking. At this time, Gu Manru also lifted the curtain and advised softly: "Good boy, just follow the prince. My aunt happened to feel a little uncomfortable and wanted to rest alone for a while."
Her aunt was not uncomfortable, she was obviously willing to push her to others if she didn't love her!
When Qin Rong left with her hands holding hands, Yingying looked at her aunt again in grievance. Gu Manru waved her hand at her with a smile, and did not forget to instruct: "Good boy, remember to listen to the prince."
Probably, Yingying was not at all obedient when she was a child, so Gu Manru often called Yingying "goodie" or "goodie" on weekdays. She never changed her voice when she shouted, but she only called her like this in front of the Gu family.
Now she called Yingying "Gui'er" in front of Qin Rong. I think she had already regarded him as her family and had a vague show of kindness. Yingying was used to calling her aunt like this and couldn't hear the problem. However, this was the first time Qin Rong heard Empress Gu call Yingying Gui'er.
The fingertips unconsciously rubbed the little hand in the palm of his palm. Yingying probably felt itchy and quickly broke away and ran forward for two steps.
Qin Rong got on the carriage first, and the jade beads trembled as she pushed the carriage door.
