Chapter 54 Xiaolou listens to the rain
Lin Suqing waited for a short time, and saw Fang Cai's junior second hurriedly running down to greet him.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've been waiting for a long time, it's a small waiter, son, please upstairs. ”
Xiao Er was very frightened, and apologized again and again: "It's really a little clumsy, and I ask my son to forgive me." ”
"No problem. Lin Suqing glanced upstairs, then went up to the third floor with his robe. At this time, Xiao Er did not follow, and he retreated after leading the way.
"Childe, the little one will retire first, and if you have any orders, you two will say hello. ”
Lin Suqing nodded and agreed to Xiao Er, and went upstairs. With each step, the higher he went, the characteristic sound of the wooden staircase became clearer, and he couldn't help but lighten his steps.
A little nervous, the more he went up, the more nervous he became, a total of fifteen steps, he could count clearly. When he took the last step, he saw King Ying sitting by the window at a glance, and swept the entire third floor at a glance, except for King Ying, there was no guest.
The third floor is very spacious, with only six sets of tables and chairs, and more attention is paid to decorative furnishings. There are vertical folding screens on the four sides against the wall, all kinds, there are hollow screens carved from agarwood wood, embroidered screens with brocade canvases, calligraphy and painting screens with affection for landscapes, and quite expensive screens such as mica crystals, all kinds of things, and so on.
Just because of these screen decorations, the third floor is distinguished from other floors, which is particularly elegant.
"The people you're looking for are behind those screens. King Ying sat down and said casually.
Lin Suqing was shocked, this obviously does not mean that those are hidden behind, but those that he "disposed of" and threw behind?
"Since you say so, I'll go and see. Lin Suqing pretended to smile easily, but in fact he was uneasy in his heart, no wonder there was no one on the third floor.
However, what he said to go and see is not only to see if his people are all "there", but also to see if there is anything unusual behind the screen, such as the person hiding the Yingwang?
As he spoke, he looked at the screens one by one, and joked as he looked at them: "For some reason, I've been getting less and less bold lately, and I was scared into a cold sweat by a big mouse a few days ago. When I asked the queen mother and the queen mother to say goodbye, they also specially told me that there was thunder today, thinking that they thought I was even afraid of thunder. ”
It sounds like it's just chattering nonsense that doesn't matter, but Lin Suqing didn't say this at this time to chat with King Ying.
There are words in his words to warn King Ying of two things.
First, because he is timid, he must be wary when he comes out. Second, when he came out this time, the queen and the queen mother knew, and if something happened to him, the emperor would also know. But it was an improvised lie, and he didn't actually tell them.
"You can also not look at it, the prince is frightened, and I can't afford it. King Ying just glanced at Lin Suqing with his eyes, and didn't care whether he looked at it or not.
But his words shocked Lin Suqing's heart, which meant that those people were all dead......
"Then I won't look at it. Lin Suqing said and walked to the table where King Ying was, and sat down opposite King Ying.
He had a headache at this time, he really couldn't count the Yingwang charter, and the Yingwang would directly kill those people he sent.
Fortunately, he installed a lot of secret guards in and near the Listening Rain Pavilion, and they would immediately rush to the rescue when they threw a cup.
Lin Suqing let out a long sigh and said, "Why hasn't Xiao Er served tea for so long." ”
It was clearly a tavern, on the six tables on the third floor, the remaining five were empty tables, only the table they were sitting on, there was a tube of bamboo chopsticks, and there were not even empty cups.
Lin Suqing looked at the eyes of a few tables, and was in full view of King Ying, he said casually: "I specially ordered Xiao Er not to drink, big brother, don't you mind?"
Seeing that Lin Suqing was stunned, King Ying continued: "Without alcohol, no one has to hesitate whether to drink or not, so no one has to worry about who is poisoned." Skip those distractions so you can focus on the conversation. ”
I already had a clear plan, so I came to ask him if he minded, it's not that the narcissus doesn't bloom and he is pretending to be garlic.
Lin Suqing had no choice but to say: "Don't mind, you won't die of thirst if you drink a little bite." In his heart, he wanted to explode on the spot, how did he throw a cup? Could it be that he threw chopsticks?
He has a lot of worries, and King Ying's heart is so poisonous.
Then he looked at the location again. In the position chosen by King Ying, the table was leaning against the window, and the two of them sat opposite each other, and the seats were all against a wall.
If so, the two of them were seated by a wall that could resist the arrows from the window, and the table was close to the window, so that they could see through the window without a clear view of the window.
This window is like a rope, the two of them are grasshoppers at both ends, if something happens, King Ying can't run, and he Lin Suqing can't jump.
The position chosen by King Ying has taken a balance, which is fair to each other and a good position.
"I'm afraid it's going to rain. Lin Suqing looked at the gradually gloomy sky outside the window, and then he looked at the entire third floor, pretending to observe the light, but the rest of the light was scanning everything around him, especially those places where people could hide things.
"It's time to let Xiao Er hold the lamp. ”
He thought that he had done it very casually, but he was still broken by King Ying: "You don't have to be vigilant, there are only you and me on the third floor." ”
Suddenly, a thunderclap fell, and in the sky not far from the window, the thunder was loud and deafening. Suddenly it began to rain, and unlike the earthly thunder, the rain was very dense.
King Ying looked at the silk rain outside the window, and said leisurely: "The thunder is very loud, but the rain is very small. ”
Lin Suqing couldn't hear if this sentence had ulterior motives, he also watched the rain for a while, probably because of this rain, his heart was inexplicably calmer.
He held his face and watched the gurgling rain curtain for a while, and then looked at the pedestrians who came and went under the rain curtain for a while. I was melancholy, and I really couldn't understand what King Ying wanted to do.
However, he quickly figured out that instead of worrying about speculation and vigilance, it was better to explain it quickly if he had something to say, and let it go happily if he had a fart. The later it drags on, the more harmful it is to him.
So, he turned his face to look at King Ying, and joked: "You specially called me over, won't you ask me to accompany you to watch the rain and people?"
King Ying stared sideways at Lin Suqing, hooked his lips and smiled, as if he was laughing at Lin Suqing's waiting. Then he said: "The rain is ordinary rain, people, but not ordinary people. ”
Lin Suqing was stunned for a moment, why did he say this? Could it be that he wanted to talk about his identity?
He certainly can't admit it directly.
"Yes, yes, you are not an ordinary person, you are the king of Ying, a generalissimo and general with outstanding military achievements and outstanding achievements. He laughed and said: "I am not an ordinary person, I am the crown prince, and I am the foundation of the country." ”
King Ying raised his eyes and looked at Lin Suqing's words, as if he echoed the words, but it seemed that there was something in the words.
"Ordinary people only talk about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, which is indeed not as good as you and me. The high place is unbearable, and life and death are all in a thought. ”
Lin Suqing pretended to be confused, and said with a smile: "It's good to talk about life and death." Aren't we both Chitose Chitose Chitose? ”
King Ying's abacus was quite deep, and he couldn't guess it.
Seeing that Lin Suqing never got on the road, King Ying frowned, in fact, in King Ying's opinion, Lin Suqing must be pretending to be stupid, but he also couldn't figure out what Lin Suqing was thinking.
The two of them were bored for a long time.
Lin Su Qingguang eats dumplings and doesn't pay New Year's greetings, waiting for King Ying to say it himself, but King Ying is as stable as Mount Tai, so he doesn't say anything. He is very helpless, he must hold back, at this time, he can't take the initiative, he is easy to show his stuffing as soon as he takes the initiative.
He glanced at King Ying, and then continued to sit down, seeing who could hold back whom.
After a long time, the rain was heavy, and sure enough, King Ying's personality was still a little restless, and he couldn't get bored with Lin Suqing after all.
He finally couldn't hold it back, and said it bluntly: "Your Excellency's life-saving grace, this king has repaid it." ”
Lin Suqing's heart tightened when he heard this, Your Excellency, the title is so unfamiliar!
King Ying really doubted his identity!
What was even more unexpected to him was that his words were so categorical, as if he had already caught the handle that he was not the real prince.
One sentence made him a little panicked, did he admit it or not?
He thought about it and thought about it a few times. I still don't admit it.
If you want to settle down, killing and not admitting it is the last word.
"Why did the second brother suddenly call his brother 'Your Excellency', so unfamiliar?"
King Ying sneered, and this laughter made Lin Suqing's heart even more nervous, and suddenly a sense of foreboding came to his heart.
"Second brother?" King Ying chuckled again, "Your Excellency doesn't know that there is another brother above this king, but he died of illness a few years ago. ”
Lin Suqing was stunned in her heart, this is hitting someone's muzzle? I'm afraid it's going to end the whole play......
Now the second prince has to transfer him back, right?
Although he was thinking about this nonsense in his heart, he did enough to save face, he patted his forehead and sighed: "Oh, I didn't expect that the injury in my brain, Brother Wei, is really so serious!
Then he smiled at King Ying: "I won't tell you, Brother Wei hurt his brain before, and the imperial doctor reminded him that it would affect some memories, but Brother Wei never took it seriously, and he didn't forget anything, but it really had an impact." ”
King Ying stared at Lin Suqing tightly with a pair of tiger eyes for a long time, and then said casually: "Oh, in fact, I don't have a brother above, only a sister, and I went with my relatives." ”
“......”
Lin Suqing was startled at first, this was fucking playing with him on purpose! Immediately, he went back to think about the excuse he had just said, and thought about it carefully, but fortunately there was nothing wrong, and he didn't directly change his name to call him the third brother. Otherwise, it's really going to be over.
Then he hurriedly pretended to compensate: "In terms of injury, it's not that my brother wants to deliberately hide it, it's that my father has an explanation, and I can't mention this matter to the public." ”
Throw the blame on the emperor, in order to prove his lies, he immediately pretended to sigh heavily, and continued: "Do you remember the day when you held a banquet for your brother's mansion? Later, I heard that you were poisoned for no reason, and I didn't bother to go up to see you, in fact, the night for my brother was not easy. ”
"That night, when I got drunk for my brother, and when I returned to the dormitory, I fell and bruised my head, and when I woke up, I remembered some people, forgot some people, and frightened many people. ”
He glanced at King Ying's reaction, which kind of explained why he didn't recognize him last time in the woods, right?
"The old wound is getting better, but a new wound has been added to the square inch Tianchi. He shook his head lamentedly and became sad: "Sometimes it is clear what happened to Fang Gang, and it is completely forgotten in the blink of an eye. For example, when you have just finished lunch, you go to blame the dining room for not preparing your meal."
He said that there is a beginning and an end, and there is a matter.
"What does the Imperial Doctor say?" asked King Ying, with an unchanged expression.
"The imperial doctor said that there was a concussion in the skull, which only temporarily affected some memories. In the future, you may heal yourself, think about it, or you may lose it. ”
When the words fell, Lin Suqing thought that King Ying would say something, but King Ying kept silent.
The more silent he was, the more he felt empty. And King Ying not only didn't say a word, but even his face didn't change at all, Lin Suqing couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, lest King Ying be like last time, silently holding back his big move.
Bang!
Suddenly, there was a huge thunderclap that seemed to be smashing outside the window where they were sitting, and Lin Suqing trembled in fright, and looked at King Ying, but saw that King Ying did not move.
Lin Suqing knew that he had lost a lot of face, so he coughed a few times and sat upright, unilaterally pretending that nothing had happened.
King Ying stared at him tightly, and after a long time, his lips and teeth moved, and he said without emotion: "Make up, continue to make up." ”
Bang!
Another deafening thunderclap shook my ears.
