In the evening, Dongfang Sui strode into the Wutong Hall, and Lin Ying was placing the lyre in an inconspicuous corner. "Little Dongfang, come with me for a walk. I have something to say to you."

Dongfang Sui saw that Lin Ying was even paler and thinner than in the morning, so he asked, "Your Highness, you haven't eaten anything all day?"

Lin Ying said: "Let's go to the boat to eat."

As usual when Dongfang Sui came to Jiangcheng from Anyi County to pay his respects, the two of them spoke freely and decided to leave Zhaohuang Palace. Dongfang Sui first returned to Xinlan Palace to change into his regular clothes, and then took the opportunity to hide from everyone and climb over the wall to leave the palace. Lin

Ying also changed into casual clothes and quietly left the palace under the cover of the old staff of Prince Sheng's Palace. The two of them split into two groups and boarded a black-awned boat at a hidden spot on the bank of the willow bank of Linjiang River. All the food and drinks on the boat were provided by Lin Ying.

Under the instruction of Prince Sheng's old department, everything was prepared in advance.

When Lin Ying stepped on the boat, Dongfang Sui was already waiting inside the boat.

"Your Highness, I have sent personal guards everywhere to look for Xiao En, but a day has passed and no trace has been found."

Lin Ying looked at the food on the small table. Although she had no appetite, she still forced herself to eat something slowly. While eating, he said: "Liu Jing is very cunning. You don't need to send people to find him anymore. He quietly

How can we easily find the kidnapped person? I understand your siblings' concerns, but you must also know that Xiao En is actually very safe at Liu Jing's place."

Dongfang sighed: "My sister said the same thing, but she doesn't sleep or eat, and is still worried and worried. I must do something to alleviate her worries."

"I see."

"The Mid-Autumn Festival appointment between Liu Jing and my sister will be in three days. What are your Highness's plans?"

Lin Ying looked directly at Dongfang Sui: "Your sister can't go."

Dongfang said suspiciously: "I don't intend to let her go either. However, I can't persuade her to do what she believes in."

Lin Ying said: "I don't let your sister go to the appointment, not because I am worried about her and Xiao En's safety. Liu Jing's thoughts about your sister are known to everyone in Jiuzhou. When he launched an army to attack Chu, selfishness or utilitarianism, which is more important?

Zhong, you and I know it very well. If he can take the city of Chu, he will definitely take your sister as a trophy first. As for the missing treasury of Song State and the value of the missing Song coins, it is not something he can solve quickly.

problems. If it were me, I would solve the problems that can be solved quickly first, and then discuss the more troublesome matters in the long term. Unfortunately, Liu Jing did not expect that our Chu country would quietly produce a person like you.

A rare general who can only be seen in a century. His wishful thinking failed, so he jumped over the wall in a hurry and came up with such a despicable plan to kidnap Xiao En."

After Lin Ying finished speaking, Dongfang Sui smiled softly: "Your Highness is too complimentary."

"You don't have to be humble in front of me. In fact, I really miss your competitive look when you were a child."

"I have indeed restrained myself. However, I feel that His Highness's sincerity and frankness towards me have never changed."

Lin Ying raised her eyebrows: "It's true that I am sincere to you, but there is something I haven't been honest with you about yet."

Dongfang Sui didn't talk much, but ate his food quietly.

Lin Ying patted her forehead lightly and said with a smile: "No, it's two things. One is about the past, and the other is about the future. Which one do you want to hear first?"

Dongfang Zui offered Lin Ying a glass of wine: "Everything has a cause and an effect. I would like to hear the cause first and then the effect."

Lin Ying drank the whole glass of Linjiangxian and said: "Everyone in Jiuzhou knows how Liu Jing feels about your sister. But you are the only one in the world who knows how much I feel about your sister. However, this feeling

, there were two people who knew about it, and they blessed me and your sister. Those two people were my aunt and uncle."

Dongfang Sui nodded slightly: "Father and mother are indeed very intelligent. They have recognized His Highness's talents early on, and they have also seen His Highness' unchanging affection for my sister over the years. They were not wrong."

Lin Ying said: "At that time, we hadn't arrived in Linjiang yet, and my father had not ascended the throne, and neither had your father. In the orange grove of Prince Sheng's Mansion, my aunt told me personally that I was the son-in-law she and my uncle had chosen. She

I thought that I would mind if Shu'er was married, so I never knew how to talk to me. My answer was that I would not take away someone's love and break up their marriage, but if one day, Shu'er could look at me differently, I would do it at any time.

It was her destination. My aunt must have told her uncle about this when she got home that night.

The next day, we set off for Linjiang. Along the way, your sister and I chatted and laughed informally as usual. Although my aunt and uncle were not in a hurry to reveal my feelings to your sister, their attitude was happy to hear it. Come to think of it,

, they hope that your sister and I can let nature take its course and not be embarrassed by the help of our elders.

Who would have thought that the day my father ascended the throne... everything would change.

The situation has changed, and I missed the opportunity to express my feelings to your sister. I don't want your siblings, aunt, and uncle to think that I cling to your sister just to save my life. I don't want the affection that I have treasured in my heart for many years to be lost in my heart.

In that situation, speaking out changed the taste.

Later, my mother went crazy and harmed my aunt and uncle, and I couldn't even defend myself. At that time, I understood a sentence - this opportunity must not be missed, and the time will never come again. What I want to say to your sister, I can only say deeply

Swallowed it.

In order to save my own life, and to protect you two siblings who are still in the unstable state of Chu, and for the sake of the state of Chu, and for the friendship between my father and your father, I can only turn myself into

Now that the world has seen the dissolute appearance, your sister also saw my appearance. I had to let her see it."

Dongfang Sui looked at the fishing fire in the distance and sighed: "Brother Lin... Now you are His Royal Highness the King of Chu, who is above ten thousand people. Today's Chu country is not what it was when you first ascended the throne. Your thoughts, my sister

We should know as soon as possible. Do you still have any concerns, Your Highness? I can assure Your Highness that I only wish Brother Lin and my sister a happy marriage for a long time, and I will never obstruct it as I did when I was young."

Lin Ying smiled and looked at Dongfang Sui: "Of course I know you won't stop me anymore, so I told you this. I will tell Shu'er when I get Xiao En back."

Dongfang Sui smiled happily: "I'm waiting for the good news."

Lin Ying said calmly: "The second thing I want to confess to you is that after I took Xiao En back, I wanted to take your sister away from Zhaohuang Palace, Linjiang City, the wind and the clouds, and the palace and the secular world.

.I want to take their mother and daughter to live a happy life in the world. When I was a child, your sister and I ran a cosmetics store that was very popular in Chen country. In the future, we can also live the same life as before. You

Sister likes that kind of life, and so do I. The world outside the palace is infinitely beautiful, and Xiao En will also like it."

Dongfang Xun looked at the man in front of him in surprise. He didn't expect that such a thin body could contain such eternal affection. He thought that this man of ten thousand people patiently said so much, but he just wanted to

Winning his consent, he accepted his sister as a concubine in the harem, but he never expected that this man would abandon all the fruits of his hard work for love. Dongfang Sui suddenly had mixed feelings, not knowing which was more respect or surprise. Perhaps, that woman

If she wasn't his biological sister, then she would be more surprised than respectful.

Before Dongfang Sui could say anything, Lin Ying had already handed over her hand and said: "On the Mid-Autumn Festival, I will take your sister and Xiao En to leave Linjiang City. After that, you will have to worry about Chu State.

Little Dongfang, do you still remember what we said when we sat side by side in the Qianqiu Palace? Jinyang Pass in the northwest will one day be garrisoned by Chu troops.

Nowadays, the national power of the Song State is in vain, and the King of Song is unscrupulous, inflating his troops and unable to calm down. The King of Zhao has been ill for a long time and is getting old. After the Zhao State has taken over the two realms of Chen and Shu, the military affairs are waiting to be reorganized, and it is definitely not the Chu army.

The opponent. The unification of all countries is just around the corner.
