Chapter 195: Red Mansion Lady Xing 15
When she was about 30 meters away, the space spirit burped, as if it was a little full.
After leaving Baoyu's room, Xing Yuling found an excuse to leave and return to the East Courtyard.
She frowned, feeling uneasy, as if the black energy just now had some unspeakable secret. So, she decided to try to communicate with the space spirit to see if she could get some answers from it.
The space spirit sensed her doubts, slowly opened its eyes, and grew a lot. Its consciousness was transmitted to her mind, telling her: "That is a polluted divine power, it comes from the attendant of the divine water, that is, Jia Baoyu. This power is very dangerous. If it is not dealt with in time, the consequences will be disastrous. He is eyeing your merit and luck."
Hearing this news, she couldn't help but take a breath. It turned out that the black energy was so powerful! If it weren't for the Space Spirit's timely action, I'm afraid she would be in danger now. Thinking of this, her heart was filled with gratitude, and she said to the Space Spirit: "Thank you, Spirit. If it weren't for you, I might have already..."
The space spirit smiled and said you're welcome. It told her that as the master of the space, it was its responsibility to protect her. At the same time, it also reminded her to be careful, because this kind of polluting divine power is likely to appear again.
"I have already absorbed the last bit of spiritual energy from Jia Baoyu's spiritual jade pendant. The jade pendant is now just a showpiece."
When Xing Yuling learned that the spiritual jade had lost its spirituality and turned into an ordinary jade pendant, she secretly rejoiced and finally breathed a sigh of relief. However, just as she was immersed in this relaxation, there was a slight knock on the door, followed by the familiar and crisp voice of the maid Qing'an: "Hello, Master!"
Xing Yuling's heart tightened, and she hurriedly picked up the things on the table and quickly tidied her clothes and hair.
Jia She walked into the bedroom and sat at the guest table without saying a word. His face was calm, which made people feel uneasy.
"Baoyu is frightened. I will pick a few things from my private storehouse and send them to him later." Jia She took a few sips of tea and glanced at Xing Yuling. "It's just right for you to pick two pieces of jewelry too."
"Sun has been pregnant for five months. When the baby is born, no matter it is a boy or a girl, you will raise it."
Hearing this, she froze in place, as if struck by lightning, and her mind went blank.
"Sir, can you tell me the reason?"
Xing Yuling took a deep breath, trying to recover from the shock and stay calm as much as possible. She frowned slightly, with a hint of surprise and confusion in her eyes, staring at Jia She in front of her quietly, waiting for his explanation.
Jia She was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head and met Xing Yuling's gaze with a serious and determined expression on his face.
"You are the principal wife, and this is your responsibility. Besides, Sun is in poor health and needs to rest." His tone was calm and steady, with an unquestionable majesty.
Xing Yuling's heart sank. She knew that Jia She's decision could not be changed. Although she felt a little helpless about this sudden arrangement, she gritted her teeth and nodded, indicating that she accepted Jia She's arrangement.
However, she was full of questions. Why did Sun suddenly feel unwell and need to rest? On weekdays, Sun was lively and active, causing trouble everywhere, and she didn't look weak at all.
"I understand, Master." There was a hint of sadness in her voice, as if she had foreseen the chaotic life she might face in the future.
Fortunately, she was a stepmother, and Jia Lian was the legitimate son and did not need her to raise him.
Jia She stood up, patted Xing Yuling on the shoulder, and then turned and left. Xing Yuling looked at his departing back, with a lot of thoughts in her mind.
In a dark corner, a secret guard saw Jia She leaving, secretly recorded what happened and sent it to his master.
After a while, the man who received the message from the secret guard in the study threw it directly into the tobacco burner and burned it after reading it.
This person was none other than the Crown Prince Shui Lin. He was leaning lazily on his chair, supporting his head with one hand, while with the other hand he gently held a white jade fan, playing with it from time to time.
The desk was filled with various folders, and the most conspicuous one was a portrait, half-covered and half-open.
"Arrange female secret guards to enter the Jia Mansion to protect Xing Shi personally."
After hearing this, the man in black immediately withdrew from the arrangements.
Shui Lin recalled what had happened recently, his heart was filled with bitterness and helplessness. Since he became an adult, he had clearly felt the suspicion and distrust from his father, which made him feel very painful and sad. What made him even more sad was that his father actually began to delegate power to his brothers, no longer trusting and loving him as he did before.
The atmosphere in the court has become extremely tense and delicate. His younger brothers have gradually emerged and are confronting him. They are always keeping an eye on his mistakes and will jump out to accuse him whenever they get a chance. This makes Shui Lin feel exhausted. The warm home he once had is no longer there, replaced by indifference and suspicion.
He even felt that the crisis was slowly approaching and he had no idea how to break out of it.
That day, he had a brief affair with Xing and wanted to change her identity to take over, but when he thought about his own predicament, it would be more dangerous to be with him, so it would be better not to do this. However, he felt even more guilty towards Enhou, so he could only make up for it elsewhere.
The night was quiet. The maid and the old nanny who were on night watch were dozing off and sleeping lazily with their eyes closed.
In the east courtyard, in the mistress's residence, footsteps were heard by the window. Xing Yuling was practicing martial arts when she was reminded by the spirit of the weapon. She turned around and saw a figure quietly approaching her room. She stood up vigilantly, holding a hairpin tightly in her hand.
"Who is it?" she asked in a low voice.
"It's me, Ling'er." A gentle voice sounded.
Shui Yan secretly came here from the secret passage of the palace, wanting to see her.
Listening to the strange yet familiar voice, my mind seemed to explode and I recalled the experience of that day.
Shui Yan looked at the woman in front of him. Her figure was slender and soft, like a blooming flower exuding a charming fragrance. He couldn't help but sigh: "What a beautiful woman!" However, when he recalled his rude behavior towards her, he felt a little guilty.
He slowly walked behind her and said in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry for being rude to you that day. I was too impulsive at the time and didn't consider your feelings. I hope you can forgive me." His tone revealed sincerity and regret, as if he hoped to make up for his past mistakes through these words.
When she saw Shui Lan, the scene at that time came to her mind.
Recalling the situation at that time, Xing Yuling blushed, her eyes were full of shyness and she dared not look at him.
"I had no choice but to do that because I was drugged. It's not your fault."
Xing Yuling knew that it was not his fault, they just met by chance.
"Who are you?"
Shui Lin decided to tell her his identity honestly. He said softly, "I am the crown prince of the current court, Shui Lin."
The woman stared at him with eyes wide open, looking at him in disbelief. She was shocked and surprised by the news, but at the same time she was full of curiosity about the man in front of her.
Shui Yan continued to explain: "At that time, I wanted to discuss some important matters with En Hou, but I didn't expect to meet you here. This may be the arrangement of fate."
He looked at the woman with a smile, a hint of relief in his eyes: "And I'm also glad that I came at that time, otherwise we might have missed each other."
Xing Yuling listened silently, with mixed emotions in her heart. She realized that she had actually had a wonderful encounter with this high and mighty crown prince.
