MTL - Marrying The Villain-Chapter 71 red beans

The Yu family has produced many generals.

But Yu Huanchen is the one who can be called a truly gifted young general.

At this time, with green eaves and green snow on his back, his white martial robe was windless and automatic, breaking through the interception of the palace guards with his own power, he had already broken into the atrium.

Because he came uninvited, he didn't even draw his sword.

Yu Lingxi ran out of breath, and called out to the corridor: "Brother!"

Yu Huanchen stopped in his tracks and looked at her.

Yu Lingxi lifted her skirt and went down the stone steps, blushing and said solemnly: "Everyone stop!"

The guards subconsciously glanced somewhere to the side, not knowing who had ordered them, so they obediently gathered their weapons and stood aside.

Yu Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief, her wrist tightened suddenly, and Yu Huanchen strode aside.

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

Seeing her disheveled hair and thin clothes, Yu Huanchen's heroic sword eyebrows tightened even more, "There is no thick clothes to keep out the cold in heavy snow, did he treat you harshly on purpose?"

"no."

Yu Lingxi shook her head, "I was the one who heard that my brother was coming, and I was so happy that I didn't have time to get dressed."

Yu Huanchen took off his burqa and wrapped it around his sister, worried: "He... bullied you?"

Yu Lingxi was stunned for a while before realizing the meaning of "bullying".

After all, her appearance of just waking up from sleep obviously came from the couch in a hurry.

She showed a clean smile and said softly, "I'm not being bullied, I'm fine here."

This statement is not a lie.

Although Ning Yin occasionally tried to scare her, but never crossed the bottom line. When he really went crazy, he only dared to hold the blade in Yu Lingxi's hand and send it to his Adam's apple.

Yu Huanchen looked at her suspiciously.

"There was a change in the palace that day, and Sui Sui was implicated by the lack of defense in the mansion. It was my brother's fault. We didn't see you after we came back, and we were going crazy."

He said with a strained voice, "It wasn't until morning that I saw the sachet on King Jing's waist and recognized it was embroidered by you, and then I was sure that you were indeed in Prince Jing's mansion."

The only thing my younger sister is good at is the Ruitu pattern. Everyone in the Yu family has one, and they are very familiar with her stitches.

Yu Huanchen had worn that rabbit sachet for three or four years, and it wasn't until he got married this year that he replaced it with the silver sachet with grape patterns that Su Wan gave him.

"I knew my brother would recognize it. However, this matter really has nothing to do with Ning Yin. Ning Yin knew that the sachet was for you, but he still chose to wear it. This already shows his attitude."

Afraid that the misunderstanding would deepen, Yu Lingxi explained, "It was Wang Lingqing who jumped over the wall after the incident. Hearing that the Seventh Prince had been reduced to slavery, he took me here and gave him to him in exchange for life."

Wang Lingqing?

Yu Huanchen pondered: The inside story of the Seventh Prince's exile has not been made public, how did a little lackey of the Eastern Palace know about it?

Before he could figure it out, he heard his sister ask, "What's the current situation in the court hall?"

"A puddle of muddy water."

When this matter was mentioned, Yu Huanchen's expression became more solemn, "The old party and the new rich are ready to move, and there are always people who are not afraid of death and want to take advantage of the chaos."

It's no wonder that there are always many wet bloodstains on Ning Yin's body these days, Yu Lingxi frowned slightly.

"Leaving aside these things for the time being, my father and I wanted to exchange credit for the emperor's withdrawal of the marriage and life the day before yesterday, but the emperor just pretended to be confused, so he probably couldn't come to understand."

Yu Huanchen said, "I don't know what will happen before the wedding, so you go home with your brother first."

Yu Lingxi held her brother's loose robe and did not move.

Yu Huanchen turned his head and called out, "Sui Sui?"

"I don't want to go back."

Yu Lingxi took a deep breath, raised her head and said, "I want to stay with Ning Yin."

"Won't you go back every year?"

Yu Huanchen was a little surprised, and then lowered his gaze, "King Jing threatened you to stay as a hostage?"

"I said, I want to stay."

Yu Lingxi let out a breath of white air, lowered her eyes and said softly, "Last time, I had no choice; this time, I don't want to abandon him again."

Although the current court situation is in turmoil, at least Ning Yin is no longer that Wei Qi who needs to bear the burden of humiliation and hang his life on the line.

Yu Huanchen was still worried.

There was constant chaos in the court, and Ning Yin was too sharp, how could he leave his sister alone here with confidence?

"no…"

"I want to gamble, brother."

Yu Lingxi's eyes were firm, and her thoughts were clear, "If there is no final result on the day of the wedding, it's time for me to accept my fate."

"It's only four days before the big wedding, how can we make it in time?"

Yu Huanchen said seriously, "You are betting on your own life, Sui Sui."

"If I don't choose him, I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Seeing that Yu Huanchen refused to let go, Yu Lingxi pursed her lips and smiled.

"Tell brother a secret."

With a transparent light in her eyes, she took a step forward and said, "Do you think we are the only ones who are in a hurry about the marriage, Ning Yin is not in a hurry?"

That person, just mentioning her marriage with Xue's family, would gnash his teeth sourly.

So Yu Lingxi wanted to gamble on her position in Ning Yin's heart.

Yu Huanchen didn't speak, but there was a little struggle in his eyes.

Yu Lingxi gently tugged on Yu Huanchen's sleeve, and coaxed, "I'll send my brother out of the house, okay?"

Yu Huanchen looked at his sister for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.

With a clear and transparent smile, Yu Lingxi personally sent her brother to the gate of the house.

"No, it's still too risky!"

Yu Huanchen went out of the house and turned back, grabbed his sister's wrist and said, "Brother, don't worry!"

He had just touched Yu Lingxi's wrist when he heard a whistling sound piercing through the air.

Yu Huanchen let go of his hands immediately after years of training on the battlefield, and then a feathered arrow flew past his wrist guard and nailed into the frozen floor tiles behind him.

The floor tiles instantly cracked into spiderweb-like patterns, with such force that they penetrated two inches into the ground, and the arrow tails still hummed.

Yu Huanchen glanced at the torn sleeve, his expression darkened. If he hadn't reacted quickly and retracted his hand just now, the arrow would have pierced more than just his sleeve.

"Sui Sui, brother hopes you can think clearly."

Yu Huanchen pointed to the feathered arrow on the ground, "You want to stay with such a dangerous person?"

Yu Lingxi knew that a quarter of an hour was up.

"He's just afraid that you will take me away, like last time."

Yu Lingxi pressed the line of her lips, took off Yu Huanchen's robe and handed it back, "I will write to my family every day to report that I am safe. Pamper Sui Sui one more time, okay?"

Yu Huanchen was in an extremely complicated mood. He took the robe and took a few steps outside, then stopped.

He looked back at his sister for a long time, until she smiled and waved, then he stepped heavily down the stone steps and got on his horse.

The snow on the eaves fell with a soft clatter.

After her brother left, Yu Lingxi looked down at the feather arrows nailed in the cracks in the bricks, and sighed softly.

Using both hands together, she pulled out the feather arrow, weighed it in her hand, then turned and went to the bedroom.

Now, it's time to settle accounts with the little lunatic behind closed doors.

There was no attendant in the bedroom, Ning Yin sat barefoot on the couch, still maintaining the posture she left when she left, playing with a piece of black jade carving in her hands, wondering what she was thinking.

It was rare for Yu Lingxi to see him so calm.

Seeing Yu Lingxi enter the door with a calm expression, he was obviously taken aback, and then smiled very slowly.

"You're back."

He straightened up as if nothing had happened, and locked the jade carving back into the dark compartment at the head of the couch, "Two breaths late."

"What is happening?"

Yu Lingxi frowned, and angrily slapped the feather arrow on the table in front of him.

"This one."

Ning Yin picked up the feathered arrow, flicked the cold tip of the arrow with his fingers, and made a "ding" sound, "This king has always held grudges, so I told Li Jiu that if Yu Huanchen dares to take you away, I will lose his hand. "

Seeing Yu Lingxi's glaring eyes, he didn't care and said, "It's just a waste of a hand, and I didn't kill him."

"That's my brother."

Yu Lingxi stood opposite him with a serious expression, "If you want to hurt him, it's better to hurt me."

"How could I be willing to hurt Lingxi?"

Ning Yin laughed, and said slowly, "Lingxi will never make mistakes, and the mistakes are made by others."

"That's really sorry, I didn't go with my brother, His Highness's plan fell through."

Yu Lingxi crossed her arms, lowered her face and sat down beside him, "Your Highness is now helping the clouds straight up, since you are willing to let go of your identity and be my concubine, why should I leave?"

Ning Yin raised her eyes, looked at her expression for a while, and asked, "What did you say?"

"I said, I want to rely on, here, here!"

Yu Lingxi said it clearly, "Even if I have a marriage gift from the emperor, even if there is no one in the sedan chair four days later, and the wedding banquet is chaotic, it has nothing to do with me! Anyway, His Royal Highness King Jing left me, and His Highness was reluctant to leave me behind." I…"

"Presumptuous." Ning Yin narrowed her eyes.

"Isn't it? My brother left because of my anger, and my parents won't take care of me anymore. I have no home."

Yu Lingxi became more and more emotional as she spoke, she couldn't help but feel sore nose, turned her face away and said, "If Your Highness doesn't care, we will die together in four days at worst."

Ning Yin did not answer for a long time.

His Royal Highness Prince Jing, who was always ridiculed and eloquent, became very obedient at this moment, his cold eyes fixed on Yu Lingxi, filled with unknown darkness.

For a moment, the darkness subsided, forming a bottomless pool.

"Lingxi lied to me again."

He seemed to be talking to himself, glanced at the sachet with messy stitches hanging on his waist, and sneered slowly, "After all, even the sachet I made by myself is just to convey news to the Yu family."

Yu Lingxi looked at him in disbelief.

Sometimes, she can't wait to open Ning Yin's head and see what twists and turns are inside.

She simply reached out and pulled the sachet off.

With a light click, the smile in Ning Yin's eyes froze.

He grabbed her wrist, pulled her closer, looked into her eyes and said softly, "Come back before I'm angry. Be good."

"Since you know my intentions, why are you still willing to wear this thing?"

Yu Lingxi couldn't help asking, "You're so smart, why haven't you thought about opening the sachet?"

She was so angry that she threw the sachet back on Ning Yin, then turned around and sat on the end of the bed, ignoring him with her back turned.

Ning Yin was suspicious, and squeezed the dark green pot-shaped sachet.

There is something wrong with the feel.

He was busy with official duties after getting this thing yesterday, and only took it off to smell the fragrance when he was tired.

Like drinking poison to quench thirst, with almost masochistic sobriety and obsession with depravity, there is no doubt about the stuffing inside.

Ning Yin hesitated for a moment, and finally pulled away the tight string of the sachet, and poured out the spices and cotton inside.

In addition to common spices such as mint and cloves, there are also two fingertip-sized acacia red beans inside.

There are characters engraved on the red beans, one is engraved with "year" and the other is engraved with "seven".

Ning Yin suddenly calmed down, lowered her eyelids, and stroked the two acacia beans with poor handwriting back and forth with her fingertips.

Shaking the sachet again, another piece of folded paper fell out of it, with two sentences written on it in cute small letters.

【Lucky twins, no regrets seeing you】

"The twins are lucky, and you will not regret seeing you."

Ning Yin recited it silently again in her heart, then laughed lowly, pretending to be calm and said, "Everyone talks about a lifetime, but why does Lingxi write 'Twins'?"

Yu Lingxi turned her head and said in a low voice, "Because a lifetime is not enough for you to be a monster!"

The red beans in the sachet are used by women in Beijing as a token of confession, implying that they will never forget their love for life and life. It took her most of the night to make this thing, Ning Yin, a lunatic, hadn't realized it at all, no wonder she was eccentric in the morning.

A bright and gentle girl, even sulking alone is a pleasing painting.

Ning Yin stared at the note in her hand for a moment, then suddenly laughed lowly, the more she laughed, the more presumptuous she became, until her shoulders trembled, and even the end of her eyes turned red.

Yu Lingxi had never seen Ning Yin laughing so wantonly, so she couldn't help frowning at him.

Ning Yin pulled her shoulder, and Yu Lingxi remembered that she was still angry, so she turned around and broke away.

When Ning Yin touched again, she struggled away again, a rare moment of strength.

So Ning Yin took her whole into his arms, then tightened his arms, put his chin against the top of her hair, and stroked it gently.

He didn't say a word, he would never say "sorry".

This is how he apologized.

"You're done."

Yu Lingxi was stuffed in his arms, tolerant and delicate, "I'm addicted to you, little lunatic."

Ning Yin hugged her even tighter, as if wanting to integrate her into her flesh and blood, and hide her in the tip of her heart.

"OK."

He smiled softly and crazily, and bit the tip of her ear, "Accompany the lunatic to hell."
