Li Zhi drank one glass after another and talked about Li Fengjiao's childhood. Xue Lin had heard these things countless times. He had a good memory. As soon as Li Zhi started, he could remember everything that followed. , for so many years, he has always felt that he was very familiar with the young Li Fengjiao, even though they had never met before, he did not feel strange at all.
Li Fengjiao in Li Zhi's mouth is a squeamish but cute little girl. She is very talented in the things that Li Zhi taught her in the past. She always understands everything and can draw inferences. Although she is young, she has never been outside Wangjing. , but it seems that he has painted all the mountains and rivers in his heart. Li Zhi once thought that when she was older, he would take her to travel around the mountains and rivers. She was a daughter and came from a noble family, so it was naturally impossible for her to be a scout, but Li Zhi did not want to bury this talent given by God.
However, with the complete break between him and the eldest princess, Li Zhi's wish has become a luxury, and that talent has probably been forgotten by Princess Changning.
He didn't know that part of what Li Zhi said about Princess Changning's talent was true, and part of it was Li Zhi's embellishment after missing his daughter. But it was Mingyi's talent in this area that gave him a big surprise.
Speaking of Mingyi... Xue Lin thought of her talent and her reaction when she first met Li Zhi. He didn't believe her when she guessed that he was the biological father of Princess Changning. A dark color rose in Xue Lin's eyes. If he hadn't recognized Li Fengjiao early in the morning, he might have mistaken Mingyi for Li Fengjiao.
This idea flashed through his mind like a flash of inspiration, and he then sneered. They were clearly two people. What was he thinking... This idea just passed by and there was no trace left.
When Li Zhi was completely drunk and fell on the table, Xue Lin sighed and told Songfeng to clean up the guest room and move the people in.
Looking at the sky outside the window, it was already afternoon, and he didn't know if Mingyi, who wanted to be quiet for a while, had lunch. He muttered to himself and walked slowly towards the inner courtyard. Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived at the hanging flower gate connected to the inner courtyard, Then he saw Feng Yu hurrying out of the inner courtyard with an expression on his face, and almost bumped into him, "What are you doing in such a hurry?"
Feng Yu hurriedly knelt down and blessed him, "Back to the governor, my wife suddenly caught fire for some reason. I am about to go to the outer courtyard to report this to you."
Xue Lin's expression changed slightly, "Go and ask a doctor to come back quickly!" When he finished speaking, he was already striding towards the east chamber.
He walked straight into the east chamber. Wei Yu, who was guarding the bedside, was twisting a handkerchief to apply to Mingyi's forehead. When he saw Xue Lin, he was very surprised and quickly stood up to salute.
Xue Lin raised his hand to tell her not to be polite, and his eyes fell on Mingyi on the bed. Her cheeks were abnormally flushed, her forehead and temples were stained with sweat, and her hair was stuck to her face. He was restless, his eyes moved uneasily under his eyelids, his head turned from side to side from time to time, and the veil on his forehead fell off in an instant.
Xue Lin took a step forward and picked up the handkerchief. Wei Yu hurriedly reached out to take it, but he waved his hand, "I'll do it! You go to the kitchen and get her some light food. Turn back. She can take the medicine after taking it!"
Wei Yu thought for a while, then she bent her knees and said "yes", turned around and walked to the door. When she turned around and looked over, she happened to see Xue Lin twisting the handkerchief with her own hands. Her movements were a little unfamiliar but she was very gently wiping Mingyi. He touched her forehead and behind her ears, as well as her hands. Finally, he twisted the handkerchief and put it on her forehead, very carefully. Only then did Wei Yu feel relieved and turned around to leave.
Xue Lin touched Mingyi's hot forehead. She would not avoid it. Instead, she felt his hand was cool and comfortable, and rubbed it against his palm. Xue Lin was not distracted at all at this moment. I just felt that my heart was twisted in one place and the pain was severe.
She was usually in good health, and she didn't even have a headache or fever for such a long time. Who would have thought that she would fall ill as soon as she said she was ill. Xue Lin sighed and twisted the handkerchief to wipe her. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, she grabbed it and pulled it to her ear. He tilted his cheek and pressed it against her. Hot tears fell from his tightly closed eyes. Her eyelids slipped from her eyelids and landed on his palm, making him shrink back because of the heat. She rubbed his hand and sobbed and murmured, "Daddy, Jiaojiao misses you...Don't leave Jiaojiao..."
Mingyi had many strange dreams, and suddenly she was still Li Fengjiao when she was young. Li Zhi lifted her high on his shoulders and took her to the lantern festival during the Lantern Festival. She held a candy man in her hand. While walking and chewing, the sugar juice dripped down and confused Li Zhi's head, but he was not annoyed at all, still smiling, holding her armpits, and lifted her up...
Suddenly, she became the canary kept in a cage by Wei Xuanzhi. She thought that she could protect the safety of some people through humiliation, but when she heard the whispers of two palace servants, she realized that Li Zhi was dead and died in prison. , and died miserably, with wounds all over his body, and no good piece of meat could be found. Before he died, maggots had crawled out of some wounds...
Suddenly, she was Fu Mingyi again. King Jiyang smiled and brought her a plate of white flour steamed buns and Jiyang Prince's soy sauce beef. He called her a "good girl" with a smile and asked her to eat as much as she wanted. There was not enough for the stove. besides……
Suddenly, two faces crossed in front of her. One moment it was Li Fengjiao, the other moment it was Fu Mingyi. The familiar face stared at her, becoming distorted little by little, and asked her fiercely, who are you...
Then, he stretched out his hands toward her and tried to strangle her throat.
"Ah!" With a short exclamation, Mingyi suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the ceiling. She didn't recover for a long time, her chest heaving rapidly.
"Are you having a nightmare?" A low voice asked in her ears. She turned her head and looked at Xue Lin lying next to her. He looked a little haggard, with some green stubble on his chin, and his eyes were the same color, but his eyes were still bright and lively.
She looked at him, but was silent for a long time. Xue Lin frowned, reached out his hand towards her, and touched her forehead. It was no longer hot. Xue Lin breathed a sigh of relief. He moved his eyes and met her eyes. He suddenly felt that something was wrong. He said "I'm sorry" repeatedly, and then hurriedly took his hand back. He forgot about it. , she is awake at the moment.
He withdrew his hand, but his eyes were shining brightly as he looked at Mingyi. He had touched her forehead for a while, but she didn't seem to feel sick. Looking at her face again, the flush from last night had faded, and she didn't feel sick either. She turned pale, but returned to her normal ruddy color. Xue Lin's heart beat like a drum for a moment. She... was she unresponsive to his touch?
For a moment, his fingers felt itchy, and his fingertips moved, wanting to explore her again.
But before he could move, Mingyi frowned and asked, "Why are you here?"
"Oh! You suddenly had a fever yesterday. The doctor came to see you and gave you medicine, but the fever didn't go away for a while. I was worried, so I stayed to take care of you." Xue Lin curled his fingers, a little He replied nonchalantly.
Mingyi's eyebrows didn't relax at all, "I'm asking why you are on my bed?"
Xue Lin's eyes flashed twice, and he raised his eyes expressionlessly, showing no trace of panic, "I stayed with you last night, and you were so burned that you were still in a daze, but you held my hand tightly, called me daddy, and refused to give in. When I leave, I have to sleep with you. I have no choice but to rely on you. Besides, Madam, could it be that I have forgotten that I am still injured? Does Madam want me to just sit there and watch over you all night as an injured person? ?”
