C33 (1/2)
In the evening, Tang Yuan came back.
Luo Yi was originally feeling dizzy, but the moment she heard Tang Yuan's voice, she suddenly felt refreshed and tried to look behind Tang Yuan with his eyes wide open.
Luo Yi also did not know what kind of answer she wanted to get from Tang Yuan. She did not even know why she asked this question, but it was for no reason at all.
She raised her eyes slightly and met Tang Yuan's gaze.
There was not much difference between the three of them when they counted the number of feelings they had between each other. If she did not listen to Lin Ting's advice, she might not have followed Tang Yuan's suggestion, but she was truly too helpless, so she urgently wanted to obtain comfort from Tang Yuan. It was just like when a child was scolded by their father, they would subconsciously go to their mother for protection.
Thinking about that, Luo Yi suddenly laughed, thinking that it was lucky that Yi Qiannan didn't know what she was thinking, otherwise he would have thrown her off the third floor on the spot.
Yi Qiannan was provoked by her sudden smile towards him, and he stroked his arm as he took two steps back.
Luo Yi laughed and turned back to look at Tang Yuan.
She felt that Tang Yuan could understand her, but he shook his head as his tone turned serious, ”I don't understand you.”
”But I respect you.”
”Speaking of which, the biggest difference between Lin Ting and I is that I know I can't persuade you, but he just doesn't believe me.
Tang Yuan fiddled with his teacup, ”I heard from Lin Ting about the relationship between the two of you and I and I roughly understand why you insisted on entering the palace. But Luo Yi …”
”Why are you so sure that you're the only one capable of doing this?”
Tang Yuan gave a short laugh, ”Speaking of which, Lin Ting is probably not angry at you, but at himself. If he hadn't left you to come to Li City …”
”Then none of this will happen.”
Lin Ting held onto his forehead with one hand and looked a little absent-minded after drinking. He had to put in a lot of effort to clearly see the position of the opposite Broth Yuan: ”She shouldn't have been involved in all these matters.”
So...
”Rest early.” Tang Yuan pulled away from his memories, ”You know very well in your heart that it's impossible for him to really ignore you.”
Thus, early in the morning on the second day, Luo Yi waited at the entrance of Prime Minister's Estate.
The sky had yet to brighten, and the scattered stars scattered across the sky, reflecting the low moans of the unknown animals by his side, unexpectedly exuded a hint of warmth.
Luo Yi waited under the big tree at the entrance of Prime Minister's Estate. Not long later, she saw someone walking over under the cover of the night sky.
The man was walking hurriedly. His hair was very neat and tidy, and his clothes were clean, but he looked like he was in a weird predicament. If you looked carefully, you could see that his eyes were dark and blue.
Luo Yi suddenly appeared from beneath a tree.
Lin Ting did not expect to meet Luo Yi here, so he was stunned, and before he could even speak, he saw the dew on Luo Yi's shoulder. He thought he had been waiting for a while, and his face darkened again: ”What are you doing here?”
Luo Yi walked two steps forward with a timid expression on her face.
In the past, whenever he angered Lin Ting, it would be like this, but this time, it was different. Lin Ting would definitely not be swayed by her little tricks again, thus his gaze wavered for a moment and quickly adjusted. He walked past her with a cold expression, as if he did not see her at all.
However, the moment the two of them stood shoulder to shoulder, Luo Yi's somewhat hoarse voice sounded beside his ears: ”According to the imperial edict, I have three days to go to the palace to learn the palace rules, you really …”
Ignore me?
As he said the last few words, Luo Yi's voice practically trembled, his entire being seemed extremely pitiful, Lin Ting unsurprisingly stopped in his tracks, and after a while, he unyieldingly said: ”As long as I help you reject Master Xu, you …”
What he wanted to say was immediately stuck in his throat.
This was the first time Luo Yi had ever called herself ”big bro” since she was sixteen. Lin Ting thought bitterly.
When Luo Yi was young, she would always follow behind her and call her big brother instead, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't know about their relationship. After growing up, she wasn't as obedient as before, calling her ”Lin Ting” every single time.
Lin Ting was not stupid, he obviously knew what Luo Yi was thinking, but he had indeed only seen Luo Yi as a little sister, so he had no choice but to pretend that he didn't know.
He sighed.
When Luo Yi saw that Lin Ting had indeed stopped walking forward, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief, and pulled on Lin Ting's sleeve for a few more times before continuing, ”Actually, it wasn't just for him.”
”I don't need it!” The moment she finished speaking, Lin Ting immediately asked with furrowed brows.
Therefore, Chen Jinyan did not need to worry too much about them. Although Chen Liyi remained in the palace, on the surface he was still the crown prince, but in reality, he was the hostage Chen Jinyan used to hold back the imperial faction of the Grand Emperor.
”You guys are outside the palace, so it's inevitable that you won't be able to handle the situation in the palace. You also have no way of knowing the crown prince's safety, so I'll help you, okay?”
Her voice was a little softer, even a little seductive, like a few layers of mist. Her voice was clearly right next to his ear, but he couldn't hear it clearly.
