Chapter 1420: Drawing the Line
Ximen Yuqing gently held Lin Wan's wrist and slowly infused his true qi into Lin Wan's body, feeling the chaos of the aura in her body, and hurriedly and carefully helped her straighten it out.
After a long time, Lin Wan slowly exhaled and slowly opened his eyes, but what greeted him was a pair of eyes full of concern and pity.
Lin Wan was in a trance for a moment, not knowing who the person in front of him was, who he was, and where he was. He closed his eyes again, frowned, and when he opened them again, he found himself sitting on the carpet in the water pavilion, leaning on the crook of Ximen Yuqing's arm, his left hand was held in Ximen Yuqing's white and slender hand, and there was a steady stream of true qi, which slowly poured into his body from Ximen Yuqing's warm palm.
Seeing that Lin Wan had woken up, Ximen Yuqing slowly collected his strength and returned his true qi to the dantian. Looking at Lin Wan with a face full of surprise, his voice was hoarse and gentle, and he asked in a low voice, "Wan'er, how are you feeling?"
Lin Wan struggled to sit up on his own, shook his head slowly, and said with a faint smile: "Brother Ximen don't have to worry, I'm fine." It's too much to worry about you losing your true qi again. ”
Ximen Yuqing frowned slightly, his eyes were full of injury, and he slowly said in a low and painful voice: "Wan'er, you must be so polite and distant from me, do you really want to draw a line with me?"
Lin Wan looked up at Ximen Yuqing and opened his mouth, wanting to say something. However, in the face of Ximen Yuqing's painful and angry expression, he couldn't open his mouth.
Ximen Yuqing looked at Lin Wan's pale little face, bright and embarrassed eyes, his heart ached, he frowned, his hands held Lin Wan's shoulders tightly, and asked in a depressed and excited manner: "Wan'er, don't you have a heart? Can't you feel my sincerity to you?"
Lin Wan looked at Ximen Yuqing in a daze, and there were countless voices entangled in her heart, but as if someone had choked her neck, she couldn't speak for a long time.
Ximen Yuqing saw the tears in Lin Wan's eyes, and also saw the deep apologies in those eyes. His heart twitched suddenly, and he finally let go of Lin Wan's shoulders, stood up awkwardly, took a step back, turned his back, and stopped looking at her.
Lin Wan looked at Ximen Yuqing's slightly trembling back, looked at him hanging on his sides, clenched fists, and looked at the raised green tendons on the back of his white hands, as well as the blue and white joints. Finally, I couldn't help but quietly shed tears.
In her previous life, Lin Wan had rejected many suitors, she knew what to say so as not to hurt the other party's self-esteem, and how to cut through the mess quickly and not drag the mud and water. In her previous life, what she looked down on the most was this kind of person who stepped on two boats and played with feelings.
But now she can't. She couldn't say to Ximen Yuqing with a calm smile, I'm sorry, I already have a boyfriend, let's be ordinary friends; she couldn't say ruthlessly, I'm sorry, I don't have that feeling for you, we can only be ordinary friends......
Lin Wan felt that what he should say, Ximen Yuqing understood in his heart, and if he said anything more, it would hurt him.
So, Lin Wan slowly calmed down her mood, sat on the ground softly, lowered her eyes, and waited for Ximen Yuqing's final decision.
Shangguan Yun is right, she is just evading, there are some things she can't say by herself, she hopes that the other party will say it first. She admits that she is cowardly and does not have the courage to face Ximen Yuqing's grief, she admits that she is greedy, she doesn't want Ximen Yuqing's love, but she doesn't want to lose this friend, she admits that she is selfish, she can't reciprocate anything, but hopes that Ximen Yuqing will continue to help her......
Lin Wan closed his eyes, trying to calm his mood, but he couldn't do it. I blamed myself deeply in my heart, and the crystal clear tears fell on the carpet one by one like pearls with broken threads, and disappeared silently.
After a long time, Ximen Yuqing slowly turned around and quietly looked at Lin Wan who was kneeling on the ground. She lowered her head, propped her hands on the ground, her body trembled slightly, and she didn't make any sound, but her tears hit Ximen Yuqing's heart drop by drop.
The noon sun is shining on the sparkling lake, the willows on both sides of the river are swaying with the wind, the light and shadow are swaying, flickering and darkening, time seems to stand still, and it seems to be far away.
Lin Wan finally opened his eyes slowly, looked up at Ximen Yuqing who was standing quietly in front of him, smiled faintly, supported the stool beside him, and slowly stood up.
This time, Ximen Yuqing didn't help her, just looked at her quietly, his eyes were so indifferent and cold.
Lin Wan took a deep breath, raised his eyes to look directly into Ximen Yuqing's eyes, and said lightly: "Brother Ximen, I'm sorry, I ......"
Ximen Yuqing raised his hand to interrupt Lin Wan's words, shook his head, and asked expressionlessly: "Wan'er, my father ordered me to choose one between you and Princess Hongde to be the crown princess, you say, who should I choose?"
Lin Wan was stunned, but she didn't expect Ximen Yuqing to take her army as soon as she opened her mouth. But Lin Wan did not hesitate, hooked his lips and smiled, and said: "Brother Ximen, Uncle Ximen asked you not to choose the crown princess, but to choose the most secure ally for Xiling Kingdom, do you think you should choose Nanyue Kingdom or Dafeng Kingdom?"
Ximen Yuqing smiled slightly, looked at Lin Wan's keen eyes and calm smile, and replied lightly: "If you choose Nanyue Kingdom, our Xiling Kingdom only needs to give up the mountain road of Fuling Mountain." The war between the Nanyue Kingdom and the Great Feudal State will be fought for three or five years at the earliest, and after three or five years, the internal problems of our Xiling Kingdom have already been solved and are still solid. However, even if the next target of the Nanyue Kingdom is the Xiling Kingdom, they will also need to recuperate after the Great War, and they will not be able to attack our Xiling Kingdom again for at least ten years. Besides, our Xiling Kingdom will not sit idly by, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer. ”
Lin Wan smiled lightly and said nothing, looking at Ximen Yuqing with clear eyes, waiting for him to continue.
Ximen Yuqing looked at Lin Wan for a moment, but he couldn't see any of her emotions, and continued: "If I choose the Great Feudal State, I will not only offend the Nanyue Kingdom, but also be opposed by the Wang Shu of Qi and the courtiers, and threatened by the pressure of the Nanyue Army. It is very likely that the Nanyue Kingdom will first deal with the Xiling State and help the Qi Wangshu rebel by force, and then the Xiling Kingdom and the Nanyue Kingdom will unite and attack the Great Feng State together. However, the situation in the DPRK and China is now chaotic, the traitorous ministers are in charge, and the Pingnan army is too busy to take care of itself, so who will take care of the life and death of the Xiling Kingdom? The final result may still be a complete defeat. ”
Lin Wan was terrified in his heart, but he still remained calm on the surface, looked at Ximen Yuqing lightly, and continued to wait for his next step.
