Chapter 182: Change of Identity
Lin Yunmeng wiped the sweat from her forehead and glanced hesitantly at Xu Qingke, whose face was extremely pale. She knew that the toxins in his body that suppressed his internal strength were acting up.
He immediately took the initiative to support Xu Qingke and took out a rare handkerchief to wipe Xu Qingke's sweat.
Xu Qingke lowered his head. The square handkerchief was a bit old. There was a small word "Dream" embroidered on the corner of the snow-white square handkerchief.
He just noticed that this veil was taken out from the lining of Lin Yunmeng's chest. That area is usually used to store valuable and cherished things. How could an ordinary person hide a veil in this place?
Lin Yunmeng looked up at him and saw that the other person seemed to be very interested in her square handkerchief. She immediately explained: "This was left by my biological mother. It has always been something I carry with me."
Apart from the dowry, these are probably the only proof that she ever existed.
Although she had no feelings for Lin Yunmeng, the mother she had never met before, Lin Yunmeng still treasured the square handkerchief Mi'er found after rummaging through boxes and cabinets.
"Sorry for reminding you of the past." Xu Qingke apologized slightly, hesitated for a moment and then said: "Do you want me to clean this square handkerchief for you?"
"No need." Lin Yunmeng shook her head, with rare tenderness: "Are you okay? Is it important?"
Gu You had already reached out to diagnose Xu Qingke, with a serious look on his face.
"Nothing, I'm used to it." Xu Qingke shook his head indifferently, with drops of sweat on his forehead. The clear young master was like a broken crescent moon reflected in the water, which made people pity.
As expected, Lin Yunmeng frowned and moved closer: "Let's talk about it after we go back to the house. It's cold outside."
A group of people went back to the warm room. After Gu You made the diagnosis, he reassured everyone: "Don't worry, the Valley Master didn't hurt anything."
It's just that he had to bear the pain caused by the toxin on his own.
Xu Qingke waved the group of people back and gave Lin Yunmeng a reassuring smile: "Don't worry, go and wash up quickly. Don't catch a cold. I'll take a short rest."
"Then you have a good rest." Lin Yunmeng nodded. After leaving the room, she looked back at Xu Qingke. He was still smiling. If his face was not so pale, his smile would be quite comforting.
Lin Yunmeng changed her clothes as fast as she could in her life, and quickly arrived at the door of Xu Qing's room. There was a vague conversation inside.
"...If you keep going like this, your body won't be able to withstand the toxins. It's better to untie it and show less face to face."
This is Gu You's voice.
But Xu Qingke didn't say anything for a long time. Lin Yunmeng couldn't bear it and opened the door. The two people in the room looked over in surprise.
She frowned and stared at Xu Qingke: "What are you worried about? Now the impression of you being delicate and frail has been deeply ingrained in the entire capital. In the future, the duration of your appearance will be reduced. Be careful, you will not let anyone know.
found."
Xu Qingke was stunned, his face was as pale as a piece of paper, and even his originally red lips became as pale as his face.
"Mengmeng." Xu Qingke's brows and eyes instantly curved, revealing a bright smile like a peach blossom in full bloom.
"You're just laughing, we're talking about business!" Lin Yunmeng frowned. It was her fault that she had to find Xu Qingke as her opponent, causing him to suffer the pain caused by the poisonous invasion.
Seeing that she was so angry that she was swearing, Xu Qingke immediately calmed down his indifferent expression, naturally stretched out his hand to hold her wrist, and pulled her over: "Don't be anxious, you have been used to it for a long time. As for Mengmeng's suggestion,
It's not impossible, lest Mengmeng always say, "Can you do it?"
The last note was slightly raised, quite dissatisfied and arrogant.
Lin Yunmeng's originally guilty and solemn mood relaxed. She couldn't help but glare: "Am I worried about you? Come on, sit down first."
After saying that, he took the initiative to pull Xu Qingke to sit on the bed. Looking at his calm expression, something seemed to be mixed in his heart, and he felt a burst of pain when he tore it apart.
Even though he was sweating on his forehead and coughing continuously, he acted like a normal person. How accustomed did he have to be to be so calm and calm, as calm as drinking water and eating?
Although Xu Qingke didn't understand the reason for her complicated expression, he couldn't bear to let her brows knit together, and smoothed the wrinkles on her brows with his slender fingers: "Mengmeng, don't think too much, this is my willingness, if
You really feel you owe... well, here."
This time Xu Qingke was not pointing to the cheeks, but to the slightly pale lips. He blinked with his left eye and opened his right eye to look at her. The smile at the corner of his mouth was like a charming flower, which made people reluctant to look away.
, this moment of deception is neither demonic nor vulgar, but full of deadly charm.
Lin Yunmeng's heart trembled violently, and then she pushed him to the bed unceremoniously: "Good boy, you can dream about everything when you fall asleep."
Well, including his daydreams.
Xu Qingke chuckled a few times and closed his eyes obediently: "Listen to Mengmeng... Gu You, get the antidote."
Gu You, who was grinding his teeth aside, was finally called. He stretched out his hand and rubbed his arms to show that he was seriously irritated, and then asked: "Are you sure? You can't use that poison a second time."
"Yes." Xu Qingke nodded, and Lin Yunmeng quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Knowing that it was inconvenient for someone to interfere, he took the initiative to leave.
The air-conditioning outside the house suddenly swallowed up the heat around her and assimilated it. Lin Yunmeng simply practiced martial arts in winter all year round and was not affected by the severe cold. In other words, she was used to the changing heat and cold of the four seasons.
A gust of cold wind blew, Lin Yunmeng gathered her cloak and looked into the distance with a heavy gaze.
…
Capital City, Prime Minister's Mansion.
Boundless silence spread around and around the Quemeng Pavilion. Lin Yunji sat under the only plum tree in the pavilion and closed his eyes in silence.
The long-term peace is more biting than the wind and snow, and it is cold to people's hearts.
More than four months have passed. Winter is coming, and the ground is covered with heavy snow. The teahouse surrounded by soldiers has been cleaned up and covered with a layer of white clothes. The traces of the past have disappeared with the frost and snow. At that moment, I was horrified.
The incident in the capital and that person were completely covered by ice and snow along with their traces.
Lin Yunji hadn't heard this name from anyone for a long time. People in the academy had blushed when they saw him before and asked about her, or the maids who passed by and had a private conversation could always hear their comments about Lin Yunmeng.
Lin Yunmeng's low-pitched teachings seemed to still be echoing in her ears, but everything had changed.
The always bustling Quemeng Pavilion was eerily silent at the moment. Two of the maids had disappeared and were said to have gone out to look for Lin Yunmeng. Mi'er was the only one in the house who was still helping him manage the back house.
"Master...it's getting cold, so put on some clothes." After thinking about it, Lin Yunji raised his eyes to look for Mi'er's concern. The handsome young man was tired at the moment. Mi'er couldn't help but sigh and asked for Lin Yunji's help.
