Although Lin Wanyue was not exactly as strong as an ox, in the past few years that she was in the military, other than recuperating from injury, she had never fallen sick before. Lin Feixing sent a bodyguard to inform Li Mu, then the Lin estate shut all of its gates, no longer accepting guests. News could not enter from the outside, but it did not mean that news from within could not be reported. On the second night that Lin Feixing was down from illness, when the night was rich in darkness. A masked shadow dressed in black clothes slipped into Li Xian’s temporary lodging in Yangguan city like a ghost. “Knock, knock knock knock, knock, knock knock, knock.”
The door to Li Xian’s room was opened with a creak. Xiao-Ci, who had come along for this trip, opened the door. When she saw the masked person who was dressed in black, she revealed a faint smile: “It’s been a while.” “It has indeed.” A woman’s voice came from the mask. Xiao-Ci let a way in. The shadow flashed into the room. Li Xian walked out from behind the folding screen dressed in inner clothing. She sat down at her desk, then she asked: “Did something happen in the Lin estate?” The shadow knelt on one knee, then she reported: “Reporting to your Highness. Lin Feixing has gotten sick; ever since your Highness and Li Zhong left the Lin estate, Lin Feixing made it clear that no one was to disturb him, then he returned to his room and stayed there until the next morning. In the early morning, he came out from his room once to visit young lady Baishui. He left a few instructions to the wet nurses, then he sent someone to announce his leave at the military camp; after which he ordered to close the Lin estate and refuse to see any guests. He still did not allow for anyone to disturb him. This subject has seen Lin Feixing before he returned to his room. His complexion was terrible and it did not seem faked. This evening, this subordinate brought dinner to him with the intention to investigate, but Lin Feixing’s bedroom door was tightly locked. This subordinate later found a way to sneak inside, but I saw that Lin Feixing was comatose. This subordinate is not medically trained, I could not diagnose his condition; this subordinate saw that Lin Feixing’s brows were tight-knit as he clutched a jade pendant in his hand. This subordinate could not retrieve it from him, it was the double tassel that made this subordinate sure that he was holding the same jade pendant that he always carries with him.” Standing behind Li Xian, Xiao-Ci’s eyelid twitched when she heard the shadow’s report: she still remembered that when Lin Feixing left the capital two years ago, her Highness the Princess had brought her along to wait outside of the city. She had gifted the jade pendant that the Huiwenduan Empress left for her to Lin Feixing. That day, Xiao-Ci kept griping about it for a long time in the carriage ride back to the capital; that jade pendant was not a trivial item. Even if Lin Feixing had merit, it was fine to award some assets, treasures, or even silk and brocades. How could she give that jade pendant to him? And that double tassel was even handmade by Xiao-Ci too... She remembered that day: her Highness the Princess simply looked out the window, quietly listening to her complaints with a faint smile on her face. She did not speak.
But the Princess had gotten tired of her gripes when they were about to reach the royal palace. It was then that she explained quietly: “Naturally I have my intentions.” Xiao-Ci snuck a look at Li Xian’s back, her heart full of mutters. The shadow knelt with upright posture on the ground. Meanwhile, Li Xian seemed to be thinking over something. The room was very quiet. Li Xian raised a hand to rest her chin on it. She turned to look at the candle by the desk, caught in a trance. “Have you... called a physician?” “Answering your Highness, this subordinate has not.” “I’ve got it, you may go now.” “Understood!” The shadow left the room. Li Xian simply sat like this behind the desk in her inner clothing, her thoughts unperceivable. Seeing Li Xian sit for so long, Xiao-Ci was just about to get a mantle for her when she heard a faint sigh. Li Xian said: “It’s night, let us sleep.” “Understood.” Xiao-Ci attended to Li Xian until she had laid down once again. She blew out the light, then she returned to the side room to sleep. In the dark, however, Li Xian’s eyes were open. Lending the faint rays of moonlight that entered through the window, she stared at the drapes by her bed. Li Xian had received countless silk reports from the northern border for the past two years. The times where Lin Feixing looked at the jade pendant in a daze was mentioned so often that Li Xian could no longer keep count. Lin Feixing had rejected the matchmakers nine times in total for the past two years.
