Chapter 279: The Blooming Lotus

Darklin was stunned and didn't know what to do, buried his head deeper, but didn't speak.

Liu Yanqing was a little anxious, and said hurriedly: "Lin'er, tell your mother quickly, what happened?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Liu Yanqing seemed to feel that something was wrong around him, and when he raised his head, he saw that behind the dark lin was Kong Mingye dressed in a white robe, and Kong Mingye's outfit was very refreshing, like a white lotus flower in the lake, and even his face was spotless.

This kind of appearance is rarely seen by Liuyanqing, and the once empty night is like a blazing fireworks under the starry sky in Liuyanqing's eyes, which can easily burn anything, and it is like a lotus flower blooming on the cold mountains and rivers, revealing a fatal beauty in the cold.

But now he is like a firefly under the starlight, ethereal but beautiful, the king-like momentum on his body is not as sharp as before, but if he accidentally sees those eyes, it is still as if his soul has been taken away, and the resolute and delicate lips have no smile, just quietly looking at the two people in front of him.

Darklin also sensed that something was wrong, and slowly turned around.

"Mother, why is this person here? Do you know each other? ”

Liu Yanqing hurriedly stood up, grabbed Dark Lin tightly in his hand, and said softly, "Lin'er, shall we go over there?" ”

Lin'er raised her head in surprise: "En? Mother? This person seems to be talking to you. ”

Liuyanqing realized that Kong Mingye was talking to Liuyanqing with lip language, but Liuyanqing didn't look at it, glanced at the servant who followed her and said, "If you have something to say, let's wait until you recover." ”

Liuyanqing didn't know it, but the dark Lin standing between the two had already read what Kong Mingye was going to say: "Can you let me accompany Lin'er?" ”

When Dark Lin said it according to the lips of the empty night, Dark Lin suddenly reacted and replied: "Yes, but you have been very unhappy, I don't know if you are happy or not." ”

Liuyan Qingzheng was about to interrupt the conversation between the two people, and at this time, Kong Mingye continued to say to Dark Lin in a lip whisper: "I was very happy when I saw you. ”

Darklin: "Really? So what are you going to play with me? ”

"Whatever you like, I'll play with you."

Dark Lin broke free of Liuyanqing's hand, ran to Kongmingye's side and said happily: "Okay, okay, Lin'er wants to play with the little rabbit, do you have it there?" ”

Liuyanqing put his hands around his chest, gloating at this scene, and thought to himself: This is a heavily guarded place, how can there be a little rabbit? I'm afraid that I can't change it in the night, and in the end, I will only disappoint the dark lin, and I won't make such a request in the future.

But to Liuyanqing's disappointment, Kong Mingye said word by word to Dark Lin: "Okay, you can have any kind of rabbit you want." ”

Dark Lin danced happily: "Eniang, Lin'er wants to play for a while, do you agree?" ”

Liuyanqing wanted to stop it, because the question just now was not over yet, but now the dark lin in front of him was happy and carefree, how could he disturb this interest.

"E-Niang is with you." Liuyanqing said with a smile.

When Liuyanqing was surprised, how could he conjure a rabbit on a bright night? If you break faith with your child, then the child will hate this person even more in the future.

It was still a corner of the castle tower yesterday, where there was a stone table, which was probably the place where Kuming often stayed at night, and it seemed very secluded, except for the soldiers standing there from afar, as if it were his own private place.

One of the stone benches was covered with drawing paper, and there was ink on the stone table that had not yet been used up, and it had dried up inside the inkstone.

Kong Mingye picked up a piece of white paper and pressed it on the inkstone, and then picked up the brush and dipped it on the inkstone, but unfortunately it had dried up, but it didn't get anything at all. At this time, it became clear that Kong Mingye wanted to show it in the painting.

'Thank you'

This is the message that Liu Yanqing inadvertently glanced at the expression of the empty night, and read from it.

Seeing this, Dark Lin didn't dare to slack off, and sat on the stone bench with his hands on the side, supporting his chin with his hands and asking curiously, "What are we going to do here?" ”

Liuyanqing blinked playfully: "Of course, it's not fun for the little rabbit to be alive and jumping, if one day you suddenly see the little rabbit jumping into the painting, you must like it very much." ”

Darklin shook his legs and said, "Does the little rabbit like it?" ”

"The rabbit is very shy and doesn't like to face people, so its ears and eyes are always red, and if it is drawn in the painting, the rabbit will not be shy." Liuyanqing made up the plot that he felt was false, and he thought gloomily that Darklin must have felt very fake.

As he spoke, the clouds and nights were already flowing like flowing water, and the lines were easily outlined on the drawing paper, and when the smoke was clear and the darkness was surprised, the patterns in the painting had been initially formed.

This is a snow-white rabbit, round and round, as cute and round as a leather ball, the round eyes are blazing, but the rabbit's ears are drooping, and it looks even more cute in a moment.

I only heard Darkin exclaim: "Wow, what a cute little rabbit, it's different from what I used to raise." ”

Kong Mingye looked at the dark lin lovingly, and then chose a thin brush to continue to sketch the pattern next to the rabbit, and after a while, a girl in a gorgeous robe appeared, the girl was crowned with a crown on her head, and one hand stroked the rabbit, sitting on a meadow.

Liu Yanqing knows that the prototype of this girl is Dark Lin, and the girl with the crown doesn't show that she is a princess?

Kong Mingye wrote a few big characters in the lower right corner of the drawing paper, Shangyun: You are my princess.

The movement of flowing smoke and ink paused, only to suddenly realize that the current scene was exactly the same as the scene he dreamed of thousands of times in his dream eight years ago, the three of them sat together contentedly, talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was as warm as spring flowers.

Liuyan Qing was stunned, and even had no room to think, and looked at Kong Mingye in a daze as he handed the painting to Darklin.

Liuyanqing looked at the happy smile on Dark Lin's face but was even more frightened, Darklin's eyes looked very much like Kongmingye, to be precise, the eyes of the two were like deep whirlpools, Liuyanqing had almost seen the darklin when he grew up, only when he laughed, he had his own appearance and half a point, and in general, he had almost inherited the handsomeness of Kongmingye.

Liuyanqing doesn't know what to do, should he let Darklin continue to stay in Tula in the future? In the country of Tula, can she really afford the pickiness of the queen and everyone? This princess who looks completely different from Ling Feiliu?

Probably Kong Mingye saw the change in Liuyanqing's expression, gently patted the back of Liuyanqing's hand, and came back to his senses, Liuyanqing saw that Kongmingye was saying: Lin'er is in a good mood now, you can continue to ask the question just now.

Liuyanqing realized that everything he had done in the sky was so that the topic just now could continue. Liu Yanqing hurriedly sorted out his expression, then looked at Dark Lin and said softly, "Lin'er, can you tell your mother now?" Is there anything going on with my grandmother? ”

Dark Lin happily looked at the portrait in his hand and said without raising his head: "The imperial grandmother doesn't like Lin'er to laugh, and let Aunt Qidie come to teach Lin'er the etiquette in the palace, Lin'er doesn't want to go back there now, and when she goes back there, she can't laugh happily, and she can't play casually." ”

As he spoke, Darkin's expression gradually dimmed, and his expression when he looked at the portrait gradually became sour, as if the painting did not belong to him.

Dark Lin continued: "This painting Lin'er can't be brought back, Aunt Chess Butterfly will definitely tear it off!" ”

Liuyanqing's heart was sour, and he stepped forward and gently took the dark lin in his arms.

Liu Yanqing said softly: "Lin'er can't escape, you have to face it bravely, you know?" Let the other party see your strength, but now Lin'er is still young, do you want to listen to the elders more? Because the elders have also come slowly from your age, some things are still more clear than you. ”

Darkin didn't speak, just quietly looked at the painting in his hand. On the side, he quickly wrote something on the white paper, and then skillfully placed it in front of the dark lin.

This piece of paper reads: Do what you want.

Dark Lin's gaze suddenly became radiant in an instant, and he looked at Kong Mingye hopefully and said, "You understand, right? ”

Kong Mingye hadn't smiled, so at this time, the slight curvature of his lips made Liu Yanqing think that he had seen it wrong.

Liuyanqing didn't say anything anymore, because Liuyanqing suddenly felt that Darklin always felt relaxed when he was by Kongmingye's side at this time, and even his eyes seemed to glow with light. Liuyanqing didn't dare to stop the two, but he was afraid that Darklin's joy would turn into ashes in an instant.

Liu Yanqing probably didn't know that there was another person in the distance at this moment looking in this direction, his eyes contained sourness and sighs, looking at this scene as if a family of three was getting together, but for this person, the bonds of the three of them were already tightly tied together.

At the same time, in a dark corner of the city tower, two people stood here quietly, glancing outside from time to time, for fear that someone would see them.

Zhang Meiren's back blocked the person who spoke, and she only felt that the relationship between the two was untidy and messy.

Zhang Meiren said in a low voice: "What else do you want to do now?" ”

The person in front of him said slowly: "I said that I will never give up until I achieve my goal." ”

"You have to know that the Empress Dowager Hua and the Empress Mother have left there, they just do this to reduce the sin again, just to let you turn back, the current Wind Spirit Kingdom is different from the past, not only Kong Mingzi, Kong Yuan Ling, even Kong Mingye is about to rise, look at the tone of the crown princess, Kong Mingye must return to the Wind Spirit Kingdom unharmed." Zhang Meiren said nervously.

Chapter 280: The Concealment of Silk Casting

I only heard a contemptuous sneer: "Empty night? Now he is just like an ant, his martial arts are all lost, he can't speak, this is my biggest advantage, when the time comes, I will personally cut him off, hmph, his existence is just a threat to me. ”

Zhang Meiren frowned: "Aren't you worried that Kong Mingye will write it down, and the murderer is you?" ”

Of course he knows who the murderer is, isn't it the father-in-law named Xi'er? Hmph, it's a pity that the one named Xi'er has disappeared from this world, so Kong Mingye didn't know it would be me anyway. ”

"It seems that you have such self-confidence, or be careful not to let the other party see through, although I am worried about you all the time, but I can't do anything for you, because I don't want you to ignite the fire at this moment, today I deliberately found a time to come here secretly, in order to talk to you, but I didn't expect you to be so persistent, I have nothing to say."

After Zhang Meiren finished speaking, she turned around with a melancholy face and continued: "Seeing that the army is about to come to the city, please do it yourself, but if you want to understand it at the last moment, I will run to you without caring about anything!" ”

Zhang Meiren's background gradually disappeared, and the person in the dark did not move, but took a deep breath and leaned against the wall, his gaze seemed to be very far away.

Probably because this time Darklin came to the city tower and was discovered by the queen, so Zhang Meiren rarely contacted Liuyanqing anymore, and Liuyanqing was also preparing a plan for battle, although there were no soldiers to report it yet.

When everyone's morale was gradually weakening, the army led by General Ming rushed to the country of Tula, judging from such a sudden situation, General Ming undoubtedly had insight into the other party's strategy.

General Ming reported to Ling Feiliu, the current Wind Spirit Kingdom has not moved for a long time because they are planning a strategy, there is reliable news to report, this time there will be a large-scale war, even the Jianghu gangs of the Wind Spirit Kingdom are also involved, this is a big problem for the Tula Kingdom.

Liuyanqing knows that if the allies of the Tula country join forces to resist, they must easily defeat it, but now Liuyanqing doesn't want to do that, if this is the case, the casualties must be heavy, it is better to win the other party only by strategy, Liuyanqing expects that the country is peaceful and peaceful, and the wind and rain are smooth, this is just to help Ling Feiliu, and Ling Feiliu will inevitably become the king of Tula in the future, so he can't ask other countries for every war, so not only does Tula become a low-voiced country, It would also weaken the military power of the Tula state.

Liu Yanqing looked at General Ming's serious and serious expression, and suddenly remembered Ming Ruoli, this General Ming can be said to have done his best for the Tula country, if he knew about Ming Ruoli's affairs, I don't know how he would feel? Think of Tula as a real deservedness to him.

"General Ming, you are tired from the journey, you better rest, and leave the rest to us." Liuyanqing said politely.

General Ming said nervously: "Crown princess, the old minister is willing to participate in it at all times, and now that the army is about to come to the city, how can the old minister have time to rest." ”

Liu Yanqing and Ling Feiliu glanced at each other, their hearts tightened, and the guilt deepened.

Ling Feiliu said slowly: "General Ming has been running for the battle situation in the past few days, and the soldiers in your hands are a little tired, so how can you continue to lead the troops to fight?" You should take care of your body first. ”

Liuyanqing also echoed: "If it is the news brought by General Lighting, I have calculated the time and distance, and the army of the Wind Spirit Kingdom will sneak into the Tula country in about five days, and I don't know whether it will be light or dark at that time, these five days are enough for the soldiers to rest, and it will not be feasible if they are more tired at that time." ”

General Ming sighed deeply, but did not speak again.

Liuyanqing said slowly: "We all know what General Ming is worried about, but we urgently need General Ming's help right now, if General Ming is physically exhausted at this time...... We don't have a better candidate, so General Ming, please listen to our orders this time. ”

General Ming sighed: "His Royal Highness the Prince, Crown Princess, the old minister is only afraid that he will not do a good job of serving the dogs and horses, and he is afraid that he will disappoint the emperor." ”

"Of course not, General Ming's efforts are obvious to all, how can we disappoint the emperor, okay, General Ming will listen to us this time, if there is news, we will send someone to notify you urgently at any time, but General Ming must take care of himself at this time and be on standby."

"Yes, the old minister obeys."

Liu Yanqing and Ling Feiliu breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at each other.

But at this time, General Ming said slowly as if he suddenly remembered something: "Prince, princess, the old minister still has something to ask for here, I don't know ......"

"Why should General Ming be polite, just say it." Ling Fei laughed.

General Ming hesitated, and said slowly in a heavy voice: "The old minister hasn't caught up with the little girl for a long time, oh, no, it's the concubine, but the old minister wants to let the old minister see the concubine when the army is coming?" ”

Ling Feiliu and Liuyanqing were stunned for a moment, looking at each other in astonishment, the expressions on their faces that were at a loss for what to do didn't know when they stiffened, no one continued to speak, and the space seemed to be still.

Ling Feiliu sat on the main hall of the lobby, Liuyanqing was on one side, and General Ming was in the center of the hall in a posture of saluting, waiting for the two to speak, but the two did not reply for a long time, and General Ming has not moved.

The space didn't know how long it had been condensed to subside, but it was broken by a sudden shout.

"The Queen Mother has arrived!" This voice is the most familiar hissing of the father-in-law in the palace, if it was in the past, it would definitely make people feel a sense of nervous oppression, but at this moment it has some life-saving meaning.

"Oh, why did the queen mother come at this time, what a coincidence." Liuyanqing muttered without a preface.

"Say hello to the queen mother." Liuyanqing greeted the queen with an incomparably sweet smile.

The queen still has a high-minded attitude, and when she saw Liu Yanqing's expression, she was slightly stunned, as if she was looking at a stranger, and she never thought that Liu Yanqing would smile so suddenly.

Accompanying the queen were chess butterflies and Zhang Meiren, Zhang Meiren still brought the dark lin back, but at this time, Liuyanqing saw that it was not the carefree chessgirl who laughed before, by the queen's side, it seemed to be a little monarch, and there was no trace of a smile on his face.

The queen glanced at the people in the lobby, and then fell on General Ming's body, so she hurriedly stepped forward and helped General Ming up: "General Ming is tired from the journey, let's rest quickly, the palace heard that General Ming has returned to the city tower today, so I rushed over." ”

"It is really an honor for the ancestors to let the queen mother come here in person."

"Okay, okay, General Ming, let's get up quickly, you have done your best for the country and the people, you should be honored for this honor, after winning this battle, the palace will personally ask the emperor to add an official to General Ming." The queen said with a smile.

General Ming hurriedly bowed deeply: "The minister first thanked the mother here, but the minister wanted to ask the old man to return to his hometown after this battle, and now the minister is old, and the little girl let the queen prince take care of it like this, this life is enough, and the minister is waiting to tell the old man to return to his hometown to guard the tomb of Mrs. Chen." ”

The queen's expression was slightly stunned, and her heart suddenly tightened when she heard Ming Ruoli, but she still deliberately avoided the name, stepped forward with a smile, and sat on the chair on the side, her graceful and luxurious smile made the atmosphere present tense.

"How could General Ming suddenly think like this? The current Tula country is the place where the Ming general is needed, and I think there is any soldier in the Tula country who can be as brave as the Ming general. ”

General Ming's body bent lower: "The minister is ashamed." ”

Qi Die slowly moved to the queen's side at this time, and said to General Ming with a smile: "Now General Ming's body is important, after all, I must have worked a lot a lot to run for the war a few days ago, and the reason why the queen went to visit General Ming in person instead of General Xuanming is here." ”

General Ming slowly glanced at the people around him, as if something was suddenly missing, and asked cautiously: "Queen Mother, is the concubine now...... But don't you come? ”

The queen subconsciously glanced at Yanqing and Lingfeiliu, only to see that the expressions of the two gradually became stiff, the queen glanced at her impatiently, and then pretended to be relaxed: "Ah, Concubine Li, she said that she was not feeling well in the past two days, but she only heard the imperial doctor say that she was tired, and now I am afraid that she is resting in the Condensing Palace." ”

Hearing this, the general was shocked, and involuntarily stepped forward and said, "What happened to Ruoli?" Why do you work so hard? It doesn't matter, the minister will visit at this time! ”

Zhang Meiren took Dark Lin and walked forward and bowed slightly: "General Ming, the imperial doctor said that the concubine should recuperate well at this time, and she can't be disturbed by others, General Ming can now prepare for the war between the two countries, and when the war is over, the concubine is probably much more energetic." ”

General Ming frowned: "It's just that I haven't seen the little girl for many days......"

The queen's face gradually began to show an embarrassed expression, and when everyone didn't know how to explain, the chess butterfly on the side smiled: "Hey, General Ming is really true, you have to let us say the surprise, how can you make General Ming happy?" ”

Everyone was startled and subconsciously looked at Qi Die, and that smug expression made Liu Yanqing suddenly have a bad premonition in his heart.

"Why did Concubine Butterfly say this?" General Ming asked.

Qidie quietly gave the queen a look and said: "If my sister is happy now, but my sister is very happy, the doctor said that some people have this symptom when they are pregnant, and they can't move around often, especially when they see the sun during the day, they feel dizzy, so now the queen has assigned a special palace maid to wait for her sister." ”
