244. Waiting for an opportunity to ascend

The cold wind was miserable, Shang Xi, who was standing not far away, shuddered, his neck shrunk into his collar, and he couldn't help but glance sideways at Ling Yun in the stone pavilion, he had already lost count of how many pots of wine this was, and in his impression, he had never drunk so much spirits, and he didn't know if it would cause illness.

While anxious and worried, he rubbed his hands and almost stomped his feet in place to keep warm.

The little eunuch who sent the wine was also worried, and deliberately stopped in front of Shang Xi, and spit out with an embarrassed face, "Father-in-law, you just go over and persuade the emperor, it's not a way to go on like this." ”

Shang Xi changed his hand to support the dust, and looked up at the bright moon, "The emperor listens to her the most, and now that people are gone, how can the Pope not be sad." ”

As soon as the words fell, Shang Xi turned his eyes to the Lingyun Stone Pavilion. The sorrow in the heart has nowhere to go, only to let it wander and sink alone.

No matter how painful it is, he is the king of a country in the end, and he is concerned about the safety of the country. Even though he understood his mood, Shang Xi still agreed with the little eunuch's last words, picked up the wine jug and walked over.

What greeted him was the pungent smell of wine, which made him unnaturally turn his head and take a few breaths, "Your Majesty, it's late at night, it's time to go back and rest, and I will go to court tomorrow." ”

Ling Yun raised his eyes and glanced at it, his mouth sprayed with the smell of wine, and said slowly, "You say, did I do something wrong, did I make a big mistake?" thought that her leaving was the best choice for her, but she never expected that it would hurt her, she still hated me in the end, and chose to leave in such a way, choosing to make me sad and regretful for the rest of her life. As he spoke, Ling Yun dropped the wine glass in his hand and slammed it on the cold stone table, the wine jug could not withstand such a vibration, and poured down the sake that had been spilled all over the ground.

Shang Xi gasped, piled up the smile on his face, and tried his best to comfort, "Life and death are fate, if the girl has a spirit in the sky, I don't want to see the emperor spoil herself so much, people are gone, all love and hate have turned into the past, the girl is not a person who holds grudges, this is what the slave believes." He blessed himself and said these words in one breath in a soft voice.

Ling Yun just laughed dryly, stood up with his hands on the table, and walked towards the door of the stone pavilion tremblingly. Shang Xi secretly raised his eyes and stared at his back, hoping that he could listen to those words and let go of this heart stone as soon as possible.

Outside the Yonghe Palace, the star slave with a muddy face squatted in the grass, carefully inserting a few magnolias from the bamboo basket into the pit that had just been dug.

A few days ago, I heard the palace people privately mention that in the remote place from the West Palace, there is a magnolia planted that no one cares about but the flowers are just right, and seeing that the flowering period is about to pass, the star slave walked over overnight, hoping to pick the best few magnolias.

The faint light shone in through the dense branches and leaves, and the star slave stood up in some horror, and when he saw that it was Ling Yun, he hurriedly hid under the low branches and leaves.

There was a squirming sound, which attracted everyone's attention.

"Who is here late at night and disturbs the emperor's driver." Shang Xi scolded sharply, and his blazing eyes kept searching.

When the star slave heard this, he trembled and moved out from the half-height flowers and plants, "It's a slave maid, the slave maid deserves death, and I ask the emperor to forgive me." With that, he threw his forehead to the ground.

In the dark night, the slightly drunk Ling Yun couldn't see his face clearly, but he felt a little familiar when he heard the voice, looking at the noble and bright magnolia planted next to him, his heart couldn't help but tighten slightly, could this timid person in front of him be her? Is she back?

In the harem, I am afraid that only she will cherish this magnolia flower so much.

On that day, she also knelt outside the door of the side hall of the West Palace, and she was tormented like this for several hours. The same timidity, the same pity.

"Girl, are you back, why don't you tell me that you are back." His astringent eyes blinked lightly, and Ling Yun stepped forward to take the arm of the star slave and hugged him tightly into his arms.

He mistook her for Su Jinyu coming back, maybe it was his slight drunkenness, maybe it was his reluctance to accept that fact, and he pretended to deceive himself.

Shang Xi watched from the sidelines, seeing that Ling Yun had mistaken Xingnu for Su Jinyu, and was about to step forward to speak, the little eunuch who had just brought wine grabbed his sleeve and whispered in his ear, "Father-in-law, instead of making the emperor's dream sad, it is better to make mistakes and make mistakes, so there is a master in his heart." ”

"Presumptuous." Shang Xi just took these words from his ears, and immediately reprimanded the little eunuch who pretended to be smart, "In this case, how can you say it as a little eunuch, is it that you don't want the head on your neck?" ”

Which woman the emperor likes to favor whom, how can they control it. If it is rumored to be there, it will not cause trouble.

The little eunuch trembled, and immediately closed his lips and retreated.

Xingnu was a little overwhelmed, knowing that this was a mistake, but he didn't have the courage to push it away with both hands. The warm breath tightly wrapped around her nose, and she couldn't help but indulge in it.

Whether it was wine or people who drunk her, she couldn't tell for a long time.

A long, long time ago, they had a relationship, that is, she was just a palace maid who had just come out of the Huanyi Bureau, and she didn't know anything, and at a very casual time, she borrowed a little courage from the heavens, and secretly looked through the crack in the door.

It was just that glance that made her mind no longer transparent. No matter what you do, you just want to be a little bit closer, a little bit closer.

Now, she snuggled up to his broad chest, and even if she was named by that name, she had no complaints or regrets in her heart. As long as the woman standing beside him at this moment is himself, why should the others care so much.

"Your Majesty." She whispered softly, she didn't refuse or accept, but just gave such an ambiguous answer. She didn't want to refuse, for fear that she would never be able to wait for the second opportunity, she didn't want to accept it, for fear that she would wake up tomorrow and be recognized as a borrower.

The strength of the wine in his body continued to wreak havoc, and Ling Yun smelled the fragrance emanating from Xingnu's body, and pondered for a long time. When the corner of his eye caught a glimpse of the magnolia, the strength of the crooked arm couldn't help but tighten a little.

That night, since stepping into the dormitory, Shang Xi, who knew that it was wrong, did not open his mouth to remind, he didn't know whether it was right or wrong to do so, but secretly reminded himself in his heart that there were many harem concubines who could be favored, but there were few people, perhaps, this was really a catastrophe, but also a knot, a knot that he could not do.

Qingyun, who was full of disbelief, watched the star slave being embraced by Ling Yun in his arms, so careful. When she caught Shang Xi's evasive eyes, she already knew what would happen next, as a female official, she didn't have the right to say much, but just ordered her palace people to close the palace door.
