563. 564 Emotional cowards
Concubine Bai is deeply favored and cared for by Lin Jian, and Lin Jian can tolerate all her willful and reckless behavior and even unreasonable trouble, which is absolutely impossible to exist in other concubines.
But Zhang Xiuhui understands that the favor of Concubine Bai is because of another person, and the more grace she gets now, the more she falls from a high place one day, she is also the most miserable one.
Zhang Xiuhui sat down with Lin Jian.
"The concubines remember the emperor's teachings." He immediately bowed his head and whispered.
She didn't know what would happen to Lin Jian after she left.
In the past three years, she is the only one who has seen him like that.
He was like an abandoned little animal, lonely and sad in the wilderness.
Zhang Xiuhui didn't leave, Lin Jian sat on the ground, the bright yellow dragon robe on his body was already wrinkled, but it did not hinder the dignity and elegance and loftiness of his generation of kings.
Zhang Xiuhui also sat on the ground to accompany him, listening to him babble about the story between him and Linghu Full Moon, he never passed the hurdle of Linghu Full Moon.
And Zhang Xiuhui can only listen to Lin Jian after he is drunk. But almost every word he said was inseparable from Linghu Full Moon.
He and Linghu have only known each other for two years, and they don't often meet, sometimes they only see each other once in a few months, but every time he talks about it, he doesn't think about it. What he likes to talk about the most is the few months when she was a female official in the Prince's Mansion, they got along day and night, she was willful and casual, and she didn't even give the queen face, so he spoiled her infinitely and let her, listened to her, and was more willing to discuss the situation of the Celestial Empire with her.
Linghu Manyue was gone, so he gave all his favor to the white concubine.
"I treat you so much, and you care so much about me, heh-Zhang Xiuhui, you are really my good queen. Come, have a drink. β
Lin Jian directly poured a glass of wine for Zhang Xiuhui with his own wine glass.
Zhang Xiuhui picked up the wine glass and drank it up, her amount of wine may not be worse than Lin Jian, but he never knew it. In the past, when he drank, she could persuade him, and if she couldn't, she sat on the sidelines because she was afraid that he would hurt himself if he got drunk.
Once, the scar left by Linghu Manyue on his wrist was repeatedly self-mutilated and self-abused and bloody, and he had to re-scratch the scar, blurring his flesh and blood, as if he could return to the moment when Linghu Manyue was by his side.
Because she was worried about his body, in the past three years, she never dared to fall asleep in the middle of the night, especially the night when he was left alone in Chengqian Palace, she didn't dare to fall asleep, and she didn't dare to sleep until dawn, when he was going to the morning court, and she could fall asleep.
But tonight, she also wanted to be willful and reckless.
The spicy liquor slid into her throat, and she poured a glass to herself, ignoring Lin Jian, and drank it all again.
Lin Jian looked at her drunkenly, from beginning to end, he had never understood this woman. Even if he had the opportunity to understand, he didn't want to understand.
"You are a woman who is terrible, you can endure any hardship, and you can know everything one step earlier. Just like the Helrow incident, you already knew that she had a slippery tire, and when she wronged you, you could hold back until the end. Just when Herroh and the King of the Western Regions thought you were going to die this time, you came to fight back. You are more ruthless than I am - so the distance between me and you can only be as it has been now, and it is and will be. β
Lin Jian is a consistent tone, lukewarm, if you leave.
Zhang Xiuhui just listened and didn't refute.
After drinking the third glass of wine, she shook her head at Lin Jian and smiled,
"Your Majesty, you think I'm complicated, don't you? Even if I say it, you may not believe it, but if I am drunk today, I don't care if I tell the truth, if the emperor doesn't believe it, I will be considered drunk and ignorant. I can't always play the role of a queen who is so satisfied with you, Lin Jian - if I make mistakes occasionally, will this palace still not tolerate me?
Your Majesty, the reason why I refused to speak at the beginning was that at that time, I was still giving Herrjo one last chance, if she was willing to let me go, maybe I wouldn't have done that, but she wanted my life! Why did she want my life, so that the emperor could stay out of the matter and watch the play like no one else, and when it came to me, the emperor decided that I was omnipotent and could get out of danger without anyone's help? Did the emperor do this by acquiescing to me, Zhang Xiuhui, who has the same ability as the Linghu female official?
But since the emperor acquiesced, why didn't he refuse to admit that I, Zhang Xiuhui, also have a certain status in your mind? Can I say that the emperor is emotionally a coward, and he can't afford to let it go!! β
Bang! Crisp and crisp explosion.
Lin Jian threw the wine glass in his hand, and half a glass of wine in the cup also spilled out, splashing the two of them.
Zhang Xiuhui wiped the wine on her face casually with her sleeve, and continued to drink it by herself.
"I gave you the position of queen, what else do you want me to tolerate you? Isn't this entire harem in your hands, Zhang Xiuhui? With your talents, who is your opponent in this harem? β
Lin Jian's anger was focused on the moment just now, the cup fell, he could still maintain the imperial majesty and continue to look at her, even if he was sitting on the ground at the moment.
Zhang Xiuhui nodded, and did not deny Lin Jian's words.
There is no shortage of opportunities between them to face each other, but she is still far away from being able to touch his heart.
"That's what the emperor said. Then for the emperor to praise Xiuhui, Xiuhui gave the emperor a cup. Zhang Xiuhui said, taking another drink.
Before she came, Lin Jian was already half drunk. At this time, he watched her drink drunk.
He can see the white concubine as a full moon after getting drunk, but why is Zhang Xiuhui Zhang Xiuhui, even if he is drunk, she is still clearly stored in front of him.
Lin Jian may not have seen through it at the moment, Concubine Bai is always just a substitute for the full moon, and Zhang Xiuhui is the one who can enter his heart step by step.
Lin Jian stopped talking, and the rest of the wine was drunk by Zhang Xiuhui.
Zhang Xiuhui drank the last drop of wine and casually threw the flask aside.
"Your Majesty, you are not drunk today, so you don't need your concubines to serve you and go to bed."
Zhang Xiuhui got up and asked Lin Jian.
Lin Jian waved her hand, drunk and didn't look at her.
"The concubine retired."
She staggered around and staggered away.
When she was about to walk out of the main hall, Lin Jian raised her head and looked at her back. At this moment, his eyes were clear and cold.
Zhang Xiuhui's departing back suddenly paused, as if she felt the cold and cold gaze behind her, she hesitated and stood in place, and finally raised her feet and left, without looking back at Lin Jian before leaving.
After Zhang Xiuhui left, Lin Jian retracted his gaze, his eyes drooped, and he landed on the wrist covered by the wide sleeves, and lifted the sleeves, where the scar that had healed had scabbed again because of his self-harm a few days ago, and even if it healed, the color of the scar would only deepen.
He also hoped that Linghu Full Moon was a scenery around him, not a sinuous scar on his wrist, but he was destined to remember her like this.
He's more than a coward emotionally-
If you can't put it down, you can't put it down.
He has no regrets about this for the rest of his life.
Perhaps, when we meet again in the next life, it is time for her to repay his kindness in this life.
As for Zhang Xiuhui, he shouldn't have anything to do with this woman, if she wasn't so deep in the city, perhaps, she would be just an inconspicuous one among the many concubines.
Late at night, because he was still awake, Lin Jian fell asleep groggily, this night always had nightmares, in the dream, the full moon was no longer facing away from him, but walking towards him step by step, with a thoughtful complex expression on his face, he was lying on the bed, she came over and sat beside him, holding his hand and gently putting it in the palm of his hand.
She hasn't changed, she's the same as before.
After three years, the most profound face in his memory will always be her.
He was happy to see her in front of her, but suddenly there was a masked man in black behind her, and he kidnapped her alive in front of him, he wanted to get up and chase after her, but his body seemed to be tied up and couldn't move, he wanted to shout the name of the full moon loudly, but his mouth opened but he couldn't make any sound.
He tried his best to protect her, but she was getting farther and farther away from him.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty - Wake up. Emperor. β
A familiar voice came from not far away, and Lin Jian opened his eyes suddenly, only to realize that it was a nightmare.
"Your Majesty, are you awake?"
Ten meters outside the dragon couch, there is a great eunuch who serves the night. He was cautiously asked.
"Hmm. Step aside. β
Lin Jian waved his hand, but was shocked to find that the back of his hand was already sweaty.
He rolled over and sat up, his forehead and back covered in cold sweat.
For the first time in three years, he dreamed of a full moon head-on.
Since she disappeared with Lin Dongyao's body three years ago, he has never dreamed of her face. This is the first time --
He didn't go to her, because he understood that if the mountains and rivers met, they would meet again sooner or later. But if you deliberately look for it, you will cut off the last hope of reunion.
After calming down a little, what echoed in his mind was what Zhang Xiuhui said before.
Did that scheming woman really think about giving Herror one last chance, as she said?
He didn't believe it.
But she also drank too much yesterday, could she deliberately drink and act in front of him? She should know that he doesn't eat this set.
"Little Dezi, change clothes."
Lin Jian got up, it was not early, the time of the early dynasty was approaching.
In the past three years, although he has occasionally been drunk, he will not miss the early dynasty because of drunkenness. He instructed Su Kang, even if he woke him up with cold water, he should be told to get up early, rain or shine.
"Your Majesty, when you were asleep, Concubine Bai came, saying that you promised Concubine Bai to rest with her. Seeing that you are asleep, the white concubine is gone. β
Xiao Dezi is Lin Jian's personal eunuch, and he called Zhang Xiuhui every time before. Because the emperor only saw the queen after he got drunk, and only the queen saw the emperor drunk and unconscious.
"Okay, reward her for the pair of Eight Treasure Arms that Dongluo paid tribute to last month."
Concubine Bai likes jewelry, and she has long taken a fancy to that pair of arms, and Lin Jian naturally understands her mind.
"Your Majesty, that pair of Eight Treasure Arms Chuan Dongluo said at that time that it was given to the queen's mother, you see-" Xiao Dezi spoke carefully.
Lin Jian didn't speak, just stared at Xiao Dezi, and this glance frightened Xiao Dezi's soul away, and he immediately opened his mouth.
"Damn it! Minions are talkative! Damn the minions! Minions are talkative! Minionsβ"
"That's it."
Lin Jian said coldly, Xiao Dezi stopped, bowed down and ordered the palace maids to change Lin Jian's clothes.
It is no secret that Lin Jian spoils Concubine Bai, but at most, Concubine Bai is favored and jewelry, those things are not brought to life or death, only the throne of the harem queen is the most important! But the queen's position will only be Zhang Xiuhui! The white concubine couldn't see this.
Maybe now Concubine Bai is still daydreaming of squeezing Zhang Xiuhui as a concubine step by step!
ββ
In the courtyard on the outskirts of Beijing, the full moon had just combed Qi Yuan's hair, and Pang Rui, dressed in white, came to him.
Qi Yuanjiao called out, "Hello uncle." β
This is what Pang Rui wants Qi Yuan to call it.
Since Lin Dongyao was in a coma, he assisted Full Moon and Lin Dongyao to leave and hide here from the secret room of the Prime Minister's Mansion, he told Full Moon that he was alone in this life, and he had no brothers and sisters, and he was willing to treat Yue Yue as his sister, so Qi Yuan called him uncle.
"Qi Yuan, my uncle brought you a new comic book."
The comic book is Ki Yuan's favorite.
"Thank you, uncle. Give it to me, give it to me! β
After all, it was a child, Qi Yuan took the book and ran to read it.
Pang Rui smiled and sat down beside the full moon.
"Is it true that children will grow up a lot if they don't see each other for a few days, how do I think Qiyuan has grown a lot taller than last month." Pang Rui said sincerely.
"You haven't come to see her in two months, it's rare for her to recognize you at a glance." The full moon smiled and teased him, but there was a trace of imperceptible sadness between his eyebrows.
"Heh-I was too busy a while ago, so-" Pang Rui smiled, and the words stopped.
"I don't blame you." Full Moon shook her head.
"Hmm."
Pang Rui himself was also preoccupied, so he didn't notice the solemnity between the full moon eyebrows.
"How's he doing?" Pang Rui raised his chin and motioned to Lin Dongyao's side.
"The same old way."
"Do you have something on your mind?" Pang Rui instantly caught the strange look in her eyes, and couldn't help but ask her with concern.
"It's Dongyao's condition that fluctuates a bit, and there may be changes in the next few days. Wei Feng has already retreated to refine the medicine, and he will be out of the customs in a few days. β
The more the full moon was in an understated tone, the more Pang Rui understood the danger involved.
In the past three years, he has come to see her almost every month, but he has never seen her when she is excited. With Qi Yuan, she is kind and gentle, and when she takes care of Lin Dongyao, she does her best.
She is even more perfect than three years ago, and she is waiting for Lin Dongyao to wake up.
However, the more perfect it is, the more you may not be able to wait for the final perfect result.
"Wei Feng's current state, I'm just afraid of the full moon, I'll accompany you to see him." Pang Rui is not worried about the current Wei Feng, if Wei Feng's situation is a little stricter, he is afraid that it will cause secondary damage to Lin Dongyao who is unconscious.
Full Moon took Pang Rui to see Wei Feng, while Qi Yuan, who was holding a few comic books, slipped away to the next yard to see Lin Dongyao.
Yang Xiaoli and Bing'er were guarding outside Lin Dongyao's house, and when they saw Qi Yuan coming, the two glanced at each other and looked at Qi Yuan. Inside, a man's finger moved slightly.
