Chapter 161 Infatuation
The night breeze slipped into the house, blowing the candles flickering, and he stood by the window and looked inside, walked in, and closed the window with his hand.
The man on the bed reclined, his face pale and his lips pursed, as if he was in great pain in his sleep. He came closer, reached out to probe her forehead, his closed eyes suddenly opened.
"General Gongsun." Lu Qingya didn't sleep, the wound on her chest was torn and almost cost her half of her life, she was exhausted but her thoughts were extremely clear, so she simply leaned on her eyes to recuperate.
Gongsun Yi withdrew his hand and asked lightly, "How is the princess's injury?" ”
Lu Qingya heard that his tone did not have any emotion, and knew that he was caring about her as a courtier, so she didn't think much about it, and replied with a smile: "Now I said that it would be faster to change the dressing on time...... Did General Gongsun go to see Miss Lian? How is she? If it weren't for Miss Lian today, I think those gangsters would have succeeded. ”
Before, she heard Bailijin list Lian Jin's "crimes" one by one, saying that they were crimes, but it was just because Lian Jin was both talented and good-looking, knew how to judge the situation, and was skillful, and often played with men between applause. Out of jealousy, the women of Jingshi did not have a good impression of Lian Jin, and the men also nakedly regarded Lian Jin as the object of their intentions. Under him is his wife and concubine, but the name of Lian Jin is called in his mouth, can a woman who is snubbed not be jealous? Those men said that they appreciated their talents, and they wanted to please Lian Jin and have a romantic night.
"I think she's dead." Gongsun Yi's eyes were dyed with a touch of sadness, and even he couldn't understand why he had such a strange feeling.
Lu Qingya was stunned and hurriedly asked, "Is it because of excessive blood loss?" It's all because of me, she and I have never met but are willing to come forward to help. ”
"She fell from the star-picking platform."
When Lu Qingya heard this, she was silent for a while, she vaguely felt that Gongsun Yi's mood was a little low at this time, why did Lian Jin's death make him sad? The star picking platform is so high, can you still survive if you fall? No matter what kind of rumors outsiders have about Lian Jin, the Lian Jin she sees today is a good person with affection, righteousness, flesh and blood.
Is it rumored that the rumors are exaggerated and deliberately slander Lian Jin's reputation, or is Lian Jin, just like the rumors, suddenly changed his conscience and found out?
"Why did Miss Lian get to the star platform?" Lu Qingya was surprised, she had also heard about Gongsun Yi's wife, could it be that he deliberately pushed Lian Jin down from the star-picking platform in order to avenge his dead wife? Thinking of this, her heart was shocked, and she didn't want to continue to think about it. How deep the grievances between Gongsun Yi and Lian Jin are, she, an outsider, doesn't want to explore, she knows too much, maybe the beautiful haode image will collapse a little bit.
Gongsun Yi sighed lightly and said, "When I found her, she was already on the star platform, she was drunk and fell down." The bitterness in his heart became more and more intense, and he was sad, was it for the sake of that hateful person? With his fists clenched at his sides, he immediately hid the sadness in his eyes.
Turning around, his gaze fell on Lu Qingya's face, and then immediately turned away, he was afraid that when he re-entered the demon barrier, he would see everyone as his wife.
"Is the emperor's dragon body good?"
"Well, very good, since the assassin infiltrated the Yonghe Hall and I was stabbed, General Luo was ordered to enter the palace to guard, I think, no one will dare to risk the assassination anymore." Lu Qingya lifted the brocade quilt, and Gongsun Yi immediately turned his back.
"I left the palace this time to ask General Gongsun for one thing on behalf of the emperor's brother." She got out of bed, put on her robe and walked to the table, and poured herself a cup of tea, "Jingshi is the place where imperial power is concentrated, and the imperial brother hopes that General Gongsun can stay in Jingshi." ”
Recently, there has been a turmoil in the imperial court, and several shili have been formed in the court, each with its own plans, not only to grab immediate interests, but also to plan for the future, these shilishili fight with each other, check and balance each other.
Prime Minister Zuo Xiao Tao is very cautious, does things without leakage, sees the fierce struggle but puts himself outside the contradiction early, pretends to be stupid, and always picks some irrelevant topics when he goes to the court, first washes himself clean, leaving no one a little handle, so that people can't guess his true thoughts and positions.
The right prime minister Lang Chen has a fierce temperament, is upright, and is not right with the king of Jin Huai, so the officials in the court have to choose between Lang Chen and the king of Jin Huai. The fight between the two of them caused panic in the hearts of the people, and they were afraid that they would be killed in the future if they followed the wrong person.
Outside the court, people with discerning eyes can see how tense the situation is, and it is impossible to say that it will not be long before the country changes hands, and it is inevitable that there will be a cruel fight, and it is naturally ordinary people who suffer.
The eldest prince who was far away in Yuzhou stubbornly guarded the fief and refused to move, ostensibly courting the imperial court, showing that he had no intention of fighting for power and taking the throne, but secretly he frequently had secret meetings with the king of Jin Huai.
As the princess of the dynasty, how much she can contribute to the dynasty, her brother, and the people, she will never shirk any complaints. She kept her promise to her father: to do her best to help her brother consolidate the throne, benefit the world, and benefit the people. Even if her father didn't have this advice, she gave it all her heart, and in this world, except for the royal brother, there was no second person who took care of her and took her seriously.
She glanced at Gongsun Yi, and immediately lowered her head, she thought, although Gongsun Yi is an infatuated person, but the fire-like feelings are only for his wife, except for his wife, he probably won't give his love to others extravagantly, right? Gently beating her cheeks, she was a little annoyed, what was she thinking, she simply admired him, and had no children's selfish feelings...... Is that so? Why is she a little unsure?
"If the enemy doesn't move, I won't move, as long as King Jin Huai hasn't made a move, let's not act rashly for the time being, scaring the snake will only make him jump off the wall in a hurry, and if he makes any crazy moves, the dynasty will be in danger."
After finishing speaking, Gongsun Yi secretly sighed that King Jin Huai was by no means so easy to deal with, if the small countries around the dynasty were all won over by King Jin Huai, then the Yongan Dynasty would really be embattled, and with the ability of King Jin Huai, he would have enough means to do such a rebellious thing.
Lu Qingya also understood what Gongsun Yi meant, saying that he was the emperor's uncle, but King Jin Huai regarded their brother and sister as thorns in the flesh. There are rumors in the harem that the relationship between the Queen Mother and King Huai of Jin is not ordinary, but to what extent, it is self-evident. The Queen Mother is not the biological mother of their brother and sister, and her heart is naturally not towards them.
"General Gongsun, these ** will always stay here, right?"
Gongsun Yi turned his head and saw her look full of anticipation and fear, as if he was afraid that he would leave immediately if he didn't agree, he nodded, and replied in a cold tone: "Since it is the emperor's will, the minister, will naturally stay here to protect the princess by order." ”
Minister? In front of her, he called himself a minister? She was a little disappointed, although she was a princess, she was never willing to use her special identity to suppress others to do things she didn't like to do, but he was too angry, right? She didn't care much about the courtesy of the king, but he ...... Did you deliberately want to stay away from her?
"What if...... I mean, if I wasn't a princess, just an ordinary person, General Gongsun would protect me, wouldn't I? She was so unconfident, the more she spoke, the lower her voice became, this kind of thing should not have been asked.
Gongsun Yi didn't respond, Lu Qingya knew that she was abrupt, and she regretted what she said, his wife had only left for a short time, he must be very painful in his heart now, is there something wrong with her head? Asking such a ridiculous question, he would definitely think that she had ulterior motives, and he would definitely look down on her, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she became. Gongsun Yi's temperament is indifferent, if it weren't for the person he cared about, how could he be cold and warm, and now, he is just protecting her by the will of the imperial brother, and he will not and cannot be mixed with any personal feelings at all.
There was silence for a while, and it seemed to her that the atmosphere had been frozen for a long time, and as a last resort, she coughed twice to break the dead silence. Gongsun said absentmindedly: "Princess, it's not early, let's rest." ”
"General Gongsun ......"
His footsteps had already moved outside the house, and when he heard her words, he didn't mean to stop, "The minister is next door, if you have something, just let the girl from Baili knock on the door." ”
The door was closed by him, and the figure outside the house did not stop, and Lu Qingya suddenly became lost again, "What are you doing with these useless words, does General Gongsun look at me in vain?" ”
Gongsun Yi deliberately rumored that he was a dragon yang fetish, in order to cut off any of her thoughts in advance. At that time, in Rui Garden, she saw Gongsun Yi and Yue Mingchong kissing, and at that time she vaguely guessed Yue Mingchong's gender. Although she was sometimes sluggish, with the delicacy of a woman, she also saw that Yue Mingchong's eyes were shining with starlight at that time, and her demeanor was soft and shy, and that kind of unique expression and behavior could only be shown by a woman in front of her beloved.
Lu Qingya's nature is at ease with what she encounters, and because of her personality, she will not take the initiative when she meets someone she likes, especially for Gongsun Yi. She knew that she couldn't compare with Yue Mingchong, and she didn't expect too much, she just looked at him from afar, hoping that the door of his heart could be opened again, so that she could have the opportunity to enter.
"Princess, you've been in a daze."
Lu Qingya came back to her senses, and seeing that Baili Jin had no expression on her face, she smiled lightly and said, "I'm wondering, where did you go, did you get lost." ”
Baili has been with her for ten years, but she always abides by her duties, does not smile, and even if she encounters something funny, she sneers and concludes with the word "boring".
Lu Qingya understands her temperament, and she doesn't deliberately change her temperament, how can people's temperament be changed if they are changed, as long as she likes it. Moreover, in the past ten years of getting along, the relationship between the two has become deeper and deeper, the name is the master and servant, but in fact, they are like sisters, Baili is taken care of everywhere, and she is protected by risk, in the treacherous palace, Baili is the second person she trusts in addition to the royal brother.
"The princess is too worried, the slave and maid will not get lost, and the slave and maid have a mark when they go out." There was a hint of a smile in his tone, but there was still no change in expression on his face. Helping Lu Qingya to bed, after a pause, she continued: "When I passed General Gongsun's house, his window was not closed, and the slave maid saw that General Gongsun was also in a daze. ”
"Really? General Gongsun has just come, he will stay in the next few days, I thought at the beginning, is it too big for us to rent this house, now there is one more person, it is not too lonely. ”
Gongsun was in a daze, he didn't have to think about it to know that he was missing his wife again, in this world, besides Yue Mingchong, is there a second person who can affect his joys, sorrows, and sorrows?
"Mrs. Gongsun is really a blessing." She couldn't help but sigh, "It would be nice if she were still alive in the world." In that case, Gongsun Yi doesn't have to have a cold face every day, she has seen Gongsun Yi smile the brightest and most beautiful time is in the Rui Garden, when he and Yue Ming are together, she really hopes that he can smile like before, but unfortunately, such a charming smile will not be seen in the future.
