Chapter 52: Falling Awake
But after a while, Gonggong Li came in with a brazier.
Gonggong Li put down the brazier, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the brazier slave has brought it!" ”
The Emperor raised his head, one hand still pressing his eyebrows.
"Take it" Gonggong Li took the brazier closer and put it down.
Mo Tianlin picked up the first painting and looked at it, the woman in the painting was dressed in red, and the women in the rivers and lakes were dressed as extraordinarily beautiful. Holding a sword in his hand, the expression between his eyebrows revealed confidence and pride.
Then, he rolled up and threw it into the brazier, and the flames instantly engulfed the painting like a devil.
"Your Majesty, what are you ......" Gonggong Li said cautiously.
"It's nothing, just a goodbye to the past...... Just burn a few paintings. The Emperor paused and said.
Gonggong Li was silent, did not speak again, and quietly watched the emperor burn the painting.
In the second picture, the person in the painting is dressed in green, holding his head on the table, smiling brightly......
The third, a simple letter, was written with Lingxiu's handwriting......
Fourth, a painting of a woman dressed in white on a horse......
Fifth ,......
……
There were fewer and fewer letters and drawings on the table, until there was not a single piece of paper left.
Mo Tianlin was holding the last painting in his hand, this was on the edge of the cliff, she was dressed in green clothes, her eyes were full of hatred, this was the last time he saw her.
Mo Tianlin took the painting and slowly put it into the brazier, and the flame burned the last trace of the past.
"Let's go!" The emperor's strange appearance Gonggong Li didn't know, but he didn't say anything from beginning to end. Your Majesty can forget the past, and it is a good thing for Your Majesty to be happy. Remembering the past all the time only adds to the sadness.
Gonggong Li thought to himself, picked up the brazier and walked out. The emperor sat at the table, looking at Li Changzai's back, and the hand on the table was tightly clenched into a fist.
Everything is really going to be put down......

Temple of Ruthlessness
In the side hall, the person on the bed opened his eyes slightly and looked at the unfamiliar bed curtain. Close your eyes and open them again.
Gently turn your head to look around.
Where am I? Was it saved? He moved his body and found that his whole body was particularly painful when he moved, and he immediately gave up struggling.
Occasionally, he could hear human voices outside, and he wanted to shout, but he found himself speechless, hungry, and his mouth was dry and wanted to drink.
"You all go down and do something else, you don't have to stay here for the time being." A girl's voice came.
"Yes, Princess." Two or three palace maids replied.
Princess...... Why didn't he hear that the emperor was in the palace when he lived in the palace...... And princesses. is a princess, how could she be him.
He tilted his head and looked at the door, waiting for the man to appear.
Mo Lingxin walked in and put the plate on the table, ready to put their heads up so that they could drink the medicine. When I turned around, I found him awake.
"Wake up, then drink some water first, and I'll feed you medicine after drinking." Mo Lingxin walked over to the table and poured a cup of tea and brought it over.
He had been staring at her face since she came in, and had not moved away for a moment.
Mo Lingxin lifted his head a little, brought the water cup to his mouth, and fed him water.
"You can't get up yet, but you don't have to worry about your life. Take care of your injuries and drink medicine, so that the queen will know and worry. Mo Lingxin finished feeding the water, watched him finish speaking, and turned around to serve the medicine again.
"Drink the medicine!" Mo Lingxin held his head with one hand and fed the medicine with a spoon with the other.
"You are the first person to take care of yourself in this palace, when you get better, you need to repay, and if there is anything in this palace in the future that asks you to help once, you can't refuse." Mo Lingxin finished feeding him the medicine with an expressionless face, and then put his head down and let him lie flat.
"Do you have anything you would like to eat?" Feeling hungry in your stomach? Mo Lingxin looked at him and asked.
"By the way, what's your full name?" Mo Lingxin looked at him and kept looking at her without speaking, and continued to ask.
"You...... Is it her? He looked at her, asked in a hoarse voice.
"She? Do you mean that girl you met in the cold palace...... That's me. Can you tell me your name? Mo Lingxin looked at him.
"You...... Can talk? I...... My name is Dumping. "Poured out of the difficult spitting.
Mo Lingxin stepped aside and didn't look at him again. "I've never said it, let alone admitted that I can't speak, that's just what you think."
"Dumping...... Tilting east? Mo Lingxin looked at him and asked again.
Tilt Away shook his head slightly, "It's just Tilt Away, no surname." ”
Mo Lingxin looked into his eyes, "Understood......."
"You rest first, I'll go and ask someone to make you some porridge." Mo Lingxin turned around and wanted to leave.
"Wait," Tilt hurriedly called, looking anxious.
Nervously and slowly, he asked, "We...... Still friends? ”
Mo Lingxin turned to look at him, "Isn't it, you knew it when you were in the cold palace, you should know it in your heart." ”
"Thank you." The corners of Mo's lips went up, and a smile appeared on his face. "Don't worry, I will repay you in the future," he said firmly.
Mo Lingxin squinted at him, "Repayment is done, not spoken. All the retribution and so on, let's wait for your body to heal! ”
After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the side hall. The detached gaze followed her all the time.
He stared at the door, the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise, and his eyebrows were full of smiles. The happiness in his heart resisted the pain coming from his whole body, and he seemed to feel that the injuries on his body were not so painful.
His detached eyes turned to the top of the curtain and looked at it
If the eunuch who insulted and trampled on him were still alive, one day he would have his body torn into ten thousand pieces. Those who bullied him will surely get revenge in the future. The detached eyes were filled with cold light, and the undersides of the eyes gradually darkened and became a darkness.

"Winter clothes" Mo Lingxin called out to the cold clothes who took care of her bedroom.
"Princess" Hanyi put down the towel in her hand and saluted her.
"You go and tell the imperial dining room to boil a bowl of medicinal porridge, and let the imperial physician bring the medicinal materials to you, explain to him that it is to make medicinal food, and he will bring the medicine to you." Mo Lingxin took off the waist card and handed it to her.
"Yes, slave and maid will go." Hanyi took the princess order with both hands.
……
"Qin Xiang, it's not right! Re-open" In Lu Xiu's room, Lu Xiu was teaching Qin Xiang to learn different etiquette.
"Aunt Lu, can I ask, why did I learn etiquette with Hanyi and Hanyu, do I have to learn this one again?" Qin Xiang casually kicked his legs, which had been sore and numb, and asked the doubts in his heart.
Now, there is no need to learn cold clothes and cold jade, just her, and she has to learn the other again, she is the only one, so difficult! Qin Xiang wept and wailed in her heart. But she didn't show it on her face, she knew that Lord Lu was also tired.
"Where did so much come from, why? Let you learn the truth of nature. Besides, unlike them, I was also commanded to teach you. Lu Xiu explained.
"How could it be different? In the future, they will be the big palace maids next to the princess, and I will also be the big palace maids, there is no difference? Qin Xiang said.
"You'll know later, it's always useful to learn." Lu Xiu continued.
"Oh~ Okay" Qin Xiang's curiosity was not satisfied, and there was a slight depression in his voice.
"In short, you have to learn it well, so that you can be worthy of Her Royal Highness the princess in the future." Lu Xiu looked at her and said.
"Princess...... Let me learn. Qin Xiang suddenly raised her head and looked at her.
Lu Xiu nodded, "So, you have to learn well." ”
"Yes, Aunt Lu. I will definitely learn well" Qin Xiang sat upright, a serious way.
Lu Xiu was amused by her, and her usually serious face brought a hint of a smile.
"By the way, I have one more word of advice."
"What?"
"My aunt knows that the princess treats you differently, and in private the princess doesn't mind your disobedience. But on the bright side, it is not allowed to show that there is a clear difference between the relationship with Her Royal Highness the princess and the master and the servant. Otherwise, you will be a bargaining chip used by the enemy to threaten Her Royal Highness. ”
"In this way, it is dangerous for you. For the princess, it's a threat. Can you understand? Lu Xiu looked at her and said earnestly.
Qin Xiang listened to her quietly, "I know, Aunt Lu." I'll be careful," Qin Xiang nodded.
"I hope you don't think too much about it, in the palace, the less existential you are, the safer you will be."
Qin Xiang looked at Lu Xiu, stretched out her hands to hold her hand, and said, "Auntie, I won't think too much." I know: you are for my good, for the good of Her Royal Highness the Princess. You're worried about us, you're a great person. ”
Lu Xiu: "There are no good people in this palace. In the palace, don't trust anyone easily. Otherwise, you will be in the hands of others. Remember? ”
Qin Xiang nodded heavily, "Remember." ”
"Now that the rest time has passed, what are you going to do?" Lu Xiu watched her return to an indifferent look and asked seriously.
Qin Xiang stood up and straightened her back, "Continue to learn etiquette and not disappoint the princess and aunt." ”
"Okay, let's continue to ......" Lu Xiu sat and continued to guide Qin Xiang to learn the etiquette of the county lord and learn everyone's beautiful posture.
Time passed little by little, and Qin Xiang's face was already sweating.
……
Finally, Lu Xiu called a halt.
"That's all for today, and you can go back. Wipe your face and get some rest. Tomorrow we will continue," Lu Xiu stood up and said.
Qin Xiang hurriedly stood up from the round cushion, bowed to Lu Xiu, and saluted, "Then aunt, I'll go back." My aunt has been teaching for so long, and she must be tired. The aunt rested, and Xiang'er retired. With that, he picked up the cushion from the ground, put it in its original position, and turned back and went out.
Lu Xiu looked at her little figure, and the corners of her lips rose and smiled slightly. is an innocent and kind child, and he can't hide his thoughts. However, the more simple you are in the palace, the more dangerous it will be, and the more you can't save your life.
I hope she understands my words and can adapt to life in the palace. In this deep palace, he can save his life. Lu Xiu thought silently in his heart.
The royal palace, especially the harem, was never a safe place. The harem has too many intrigues to ......
