Chapter 12: Relief
The two went out, and Shen Yan found that Wu Yang was kneeling outside.
When Lingquan saw the two of them coming out, he bowed to the armrests and said, "It was Lingquan who didn't control the emperor, let the emperor into the kitchen, and annoyed His Highness." ”
"Go down and get the punishment yourself."
Wang Huanzhi left a word, and stretched out his hand to take Shen Yan away.
"I insisted on going in, and it has nothing to do with her! I will be punished. Shen Yan shook his arm, blocked Wang Huanzhi's outstretched hand towards him, and said.
When Lingquan heard this, he only buried his head deeper, not daring to say more.
Speechless for a while, everyone was like a thorn in the back, so they had to lower their breath and pray that the fire of war between their masters would not burn on their heads.
Wang Huanzhi folded his sleeves, looked at her with contempt in a pair of Danfeng eyes, and said indifferently: "That Huanzhi will teach the emperor another lesson today." ”
"Kang and Emperor Ji, you were born to be more noble than others. No matter what you have done, someone else will bear it for you. Today, you just entered the kitchen regardless of your identity as an emperor, and the slave can't persuade the master, it's wrong, and you have to be punished. If one day, you make a big mistake, the emperor will naturally not have to pay any price, and these slaves"
He stretched out his sleeves and pointed to the maid who was kneeling on the ground, and said sharply: "They will die for you!" ”
These words were like a heavy axe striking at her crumbling heart, and Shen Yan stood in place in shock, looking straight at him.
"It's you, kidnapping me and restraining me with an identity. Now you want to tie my heart with human life? Shen Yan seemed to be in disbelief and retreated again and again.
"You're such a devil."
She left a word and fled in a panic, everyone here, every breath of air suffocated her!
Wang Huanzhi was left standing in place.
Looking at the back of the woman running away, Wang Huanzhi sighed imperceptibly.
"Your Highness, it's my fault."
Lingquan bowed his head and whispered.
Wang Huanzhi shook his head, looked at her prostrate figure from top to bottom, and said coldly: "Lingquan, you are too self-righteous. If there is a next time, you don't have to stay in Chang'an. ”
……
Shen Yan ran all the way, there were bursts of bells in her ears, and the breeze came, and she ran to the corridor full of wind chimes in the annex garden.
The wind chimes are connected with the silk on both sides of the nine-song corridor, the wind blows, and the whole corridor responds when the bell is moved.
She wiped her tears fiercely, she really couldn't understand Wang Huanzhi's thinking.
Why put someone else's life in her hands? This is naked moral kidnapping! People should be born free, and the path of life and death is up to them.
Bastard, how is she going to run away now?
After escaping, she was alone and had no worries, but the slave of this other garden was afraid that she would be easily erased by Wang Huanzhi, leaving no trace.
The heaviness of life was understood from the moment she declared herself a doctor.
"Are you angry?"
Wang Huanzhi stood behind her and asked lightly.
"I have nothing to be angry about. Those are your people, the minions you use to spy on me. If I am willful, you will be willing to pull out your own minions, why not? ”
Shen Yan didn't want to look back at him, and said mockingly.
Yes, she didn't have to have a psychological burden in the first place.
Wang Huanzhi noticed the crying in Shen Yan's words, stretched out his hand to pull her over to face him, and saw that there were still tears in the corners of her eyes, her thin lips were pursed into a line, and her eyes were wet......
With such an aggrieved look, he had seen it in the real Kang and Emperor Ji.
At that time, she was still a little emperor who had no rights, and deliberately approached him to show goodwill.
"I just want you to go. You are not an ordinary person now, the past must be completely erased, and the thoughts of the past must be changed. ”
"You have a lot of power, if you do something wrong, someone will die for you?" Shen Yan smiled sarcastically and dazzlingly.
She smiled like the little emperor he remembered.
Wang Huanzhi narrowed his eyes, and the hands on her shoulders slowly put down.
The wind blew through the corridor, and another bell rang, breaking the brief peace between the two.
Wang Huanzhi turned around and stood on the edge of the corridor, stretched out his slender fingers and played with the wind chimes, and the wind chimes in the corridor shook with it, making a crisp sound.
"If I make a big mistake, I can only pay it myself."
Shen Yan wanted to say something more, but his eyes were indifferent, blocking her words in his heart.
"I'm sorry, I'm just, I don't want to be confined to me, I want to breathe freely, I want to be free. Kang and Emperor Ji must be a wonderful Emperor, but it is too difficult for me to grow up to this age casually, and then completely change into a different person. ”
Shen Yan saw him standing on the edge of the corridor in disappointment, and said with some patience.
"Do you love Xu Jin?"
Wang Huanzhi asked bluntly, but Shen Yan was stunned.
Her previous identity was Xu Jin's concubine, and it made sense for Wang Huanzhi to ask.
"Not really. Believe it or not, there is an entanglement of interests between the two of us, but there is no emotional entanglement. It's useless for you to threaten him with me. ”
Shen Yan didn't go around in circles, and said directly.
Wang Huanzhi turned around, looked at her affectionately, and said slowly: "But I love Kanghe." ”
His gaze passed through her but he was thinking about others, Shen Yan turned his head, not wanting to speak, nor wanting to see his face.
"Everything Kang He left behind, I want to keep. When she was seriously ill, she begged me to keep the world of the Shen family. But His Majesty was critically ill, the royal family was in decline, and even Kanghe went. ”
Wang Huanzhi said slowly, the reason why she was forced to come here.
"In order to hide the news of Kang He's death, I searched for people in the world who were similar in appearance and body to Kang He, until I met you. You are very good, your family background is innocent enough, and you don't need me to meddle in killing people again. ”
"Your Majesty is now critically ill, and I am afraid that I will not be able to survive next spring. If the news of Kang He's death at this time is discovered, I am afraid that people with a heart will wait for the opportunity to move. Even if I have enough military power, but I don't have the surname Shen, and I have no name, I will be passive when the time comes. ”
"Since you don't love Xu Jin, it's better to be Kang and Emperor Ji with peace of mind, sitting in that high position, you will get whatever you want, it's much better than staying in the back house and being an ordinary woman."
"After the deed was completed, the situation in the DPRK was stable. If you still yearn for a free life, I can send you out of the palace. If you want to stay in Chang'an, I will plan for you. ”
There is always a reassuring magic in his speech, which makes people unconsciously unguard him and want to get close to him.
Shen Yan understood, sighed, turned his head to look at him, and asked, "Aren't you tired?" This is planned for the sake of a promise. ”
"It's all worth it."
Wang Huanzhi turned his head to look at her and said with a light smile.
The wind chimes gusted, and the breeze blew his court robe, and his eyes became brighter and brighter. Shen Yan raised his eyes to look at him, only feeling that it was within reach, but it was so far away.
is obviously a person at the center of power, but at this time he is like an immortal, unstained with mortal dust.
Shen Yan started talking to him, the depression in his heart was swept away, he played with his heart, and said with a smile: "Hey, you just said that if I am the emperor, I can want whatever I want, right?" ”
"Yes."
Wang Huanzhi nodded indifferently, and found that Shen Yan was looking him up and down with his hands around his chest at this time, with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.
"And what if I want your life?"
