Chapter 421 Zhou Sheng Ru Gu 32
Under Shi Yi's curious gaze, Ling Xi took out a letter from his sleeve.

The letter was well preserved by Ling Xi and was not damaged.

Ling Xi handed the letter to Shi Yi and motioned for her to open it: "Take a look, there's a surprise."

Shi Yi opened the letter half in confusion and half in surprise, but when she saw the familiar handwriting on the letter, the curiosity on her face turned into astonishment and she was completely stunned.

His fingers suddenly tightened and he gripped the envelope. Shi Yi found it impossible and took another look. The handwriting was still the same.

This is my father's handwriting.

She looked up at Ling Xi in disbelief, but regained her composure at Ling Xi's sweet smile.

She unfolded the letter, as if she was holding some treasure, and lowered her head to read it word by word.

The letter contained words written by Li Qilang to Shi Yi, expressing a father's boundless longing for his daughter who had not seen her for a long time, and his anticipation for the father and daughter to meet again.

Li Qilang told Shi Yi in the letter that he was now working under Ling Xi and was living a good life. He was very happy and asked Shi Yi not to worry, as they would have a chance to meet again.

Li Qilang wrote on half a page of the letter, and every word contained the love of a father for his daughter.

Shi Yi read the letter over and over again as if it were a treasure, fearing that she had missed something.

After reading the letter, Shi Yi looked up at Ling Xi.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but because she hadn't spoken for a long time, she couldn't utter a complete sentence and could only make a few hoarse sounds.

The more he wanted to say, the less he could say. Shi Yi anxiously stretched out his hand and gestured, his eyes turning red with anxiety, like a little rabbit with red eyes.

Ling Xi held Shi Yi's hand that was gesturing in the air, and then gently comforted him: "Eleven, don't worry, your father is fine. In a few days, I will take you out of the house to see him."

"However, his whereabouts must be kept secret. Only you can go to see him, and no one else can know about it, not even your mother. Do you understand?"

Shi Yi nodded randomly, wiped her tears, and felt very happy.

She never thought that there would be a day in this life when she would be able to see her father again. She thought that she would never see him again.

When her uncle told her that her father didn't want her anymore and had abandoned her, she didn't believe it.

But she waited and waited every day, from winter to spring, but her father never came back.

She didn't know why her father suddenly left home, but she knew that her father would never abandon her.

Shi Yi folded the letter carefully. At this moment, that thin letter was the most precious treasure to her.

Ling Xi approached Shi Yi and warned him in a gentle voice: "Your father is now acting in secret and rarely appears in front of people. So, when I take you to see him, you must not tell anyone else, understand?"

Shi Yi nodded obediently, which made Ling Xi's heart soften.

Li Qilang is very lucky to have such a well-behaved and beautiful daughter.

"Thank you, sis."

Shi Yi finally made a sound. Although it was intermittent and her voice was hoarse, it still sounded very nice to Ling Xi.

This also surprised Ling Xi. After all, someone who hadn't spoken for several years should need a few days of transition period.

It seems that Shi Yi is not unable to speak, but the incident with her father was too much of a blow to her and she couldn't accept it, so she subconsciously doesn't want to speak.

Now that the knot in my heart has been untied, I can speak naturally.

Ling Xi stroked Shi Yi's hair and said, "You can practice speaking well in the next few days. In a few days, when you see your father, you will be able to call him father in person."

Shi Yi nodded heavily.

When Cheng Xi came back with Ling Xi's medicine box, Ling Xi pretended to take Shi Yi's pulse, and then told Cheng Xi that your girl is a little weak, she can walk more and take more supplements.

Cheng Xi wrote all this down carefully. When Ling Xi was about to leave, Shi Yi stuttered again: "Sister. Goodbye."

Ling Xi already knew about this voice and didn't react.

But Cheng Xi who was standing by didn't know that.

Surprised by Shi Yi's sudden reaction, Cheng Xi immediately exclaimed: "Girl, you can speak now."

Even though the voice was hoarse, in Cheng Xi's opinion, it was more beautiful than any other music in the world.

"Yes. Cheng. Xi."

Shi Yi smiled at Cheng Xi, and this smile was particularly sincere and happy.

At least in Cheng Xi's opinion, after the girl's father left, the girl never smiled so brightly again.

After that, she was a daughter of Qinghe Yi's family, a woman engaged to the royal family, and Yi Shiyi, but she was no longer the little girl who would act coquettishly and cutely to her father.

Cheng Xi almost cried with joy. For the first time, she hugged Shi Yi regardless of her status and any rules, and tears welled up in her eyes.

"Girl, you can finally speak, you can finally speak"

Ling Xi looked at the master and servant hugging each other, and was equally happy for them.

Isn't it a lucky thing for such a master and servant pair to be like this?

In the evening, people in the palace dine together.

As this was Shi Yi's first formal meal after entering the palace, to show importance, everyone in the palace was present, including several people who were often in the military camp.

Therefore, the chef of the palace also showed great enthusiasm and served all kinds of his specialties.

Ling Xi arrived early and returned to Xizhou City. She rarely went to the military camp on weekdays, so she had more free time in the palace.

Others returning from the barracks would be slower.

When Zhou Shengchen walked into the room, he saw Ling Xi, who was daydreaming with his chin in his hand. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

For some reason, Zhou Shengchen could tell at a glance whether Ling Xi was thinking about something or was distracted.

Thinking of this, Zhou Shengchen's eyes became dim again.

Before he knew it, Ling Xi had been in the Nanchen Palace for seven years.

Seven years were nearly three thousand days and nights, and Ling Xi had grown from a young girl into a stunningly beautiful lady.

He witnessed every step of her growth and spoiled her from a reserved and sensible girl into a girl who would laugh and play with him.

He didn't know when it started, but his eyes would be attracted to her involuntarily. He wanted to see her by his side all the time, as if when he saw her, his heart would have a home.

Even when she got closer to another man, he would feel sad.

In the past three years of getting along, he could clearly feel that the distance between him and Ling Xi was getting closer and closer, and it was even just a matter of breaking that layer of paper and their relationship would change into something else.

But at the same time, he felt that that layer of paper was not so easy to pierce.

There was an invisible barrier between them, very shallow, but extremely solid.

This barrier often forces Ling Xi to take a step back when he wants to take a step forward.

Let the distance between them be just right.

He was overwhelmed.
