Outside the gate of the Qin Mansion, the cold-faced man took the lead in dismounting, threw me down and walked straight in, I wanted to follow, Lin Hang blocked me with his tall body, and said quite unceremoniously: "For the sake of the adult's face, I call you Miss, if it weren't for my family, you would have died in the wilderness today, if you dare to harm my family in the future, I Lin Hang will not let you go!" ”

It's a bloody mouth, if it weren't for his loyalty, I wouldn't have swallowed this breath, I gave him a blank look: "Did you finish speaking?" I'm done. ”

Lin Hang was speechless for a while: "You-"

I had already walked a little away, and by impression I walked towards the courtyard of the cold-faced man, grabbed a little guy and asked, and walked through a few narrow corridors to arrive. There were no guards outside his yard, so I pushed open the door and he was inside.

The cold-faced man's room is extremely simple, a bed, a table, a chair, all at a glance, revealing the same indifference as his person. When I came in, he was sitting at the table with his back straight, there were wound medicine and gauze on the table, and a basin of water, and the blood stains in the water towel had been opened.

"What are you going to do?" He didn't even raise his head, and his tone was still cold, as if it wasn't him who was hurt.

Such staggered wounds must be very painful, how can there be such a person, who is indifferent to others and indifferent to himself?

After all, he was injured by me, and I said softly, "I'll take medicine for you." ”

He was injured on his back, and he couldn't apply medicine and bandage it himself, and with his temperament, he wouldn't let Lin Hang and them help: "Just let me repay your life-saving grace." ”

I rubbed the handkerchief in the water, wrung it out and gently wiped his back, some small stones were embedded in the flesh, I was afraid that too hard would hurt him, so I had to pick out the stones one by one with my fingernails, and several times I heard his *pumping* sound, I was embarrassed: "I'll try to be as light as possible, you hold back." ”

I suddenly came up with a way to divert his attention and relieve his pain: "Otherwise, if you talk to me, the wound will not hurt so much when the two of you talk and talk." ”

I unconsciously bit the knuckle of my index finger, what should I say? Otherwise, I can tell a joke to listen to, but I can't think of any funny jokes, and I can't help but feel a little annoyed, because I used to sneak away to the Star Picking Tower to listen to books, and I can't even think of a funny joke at this time, so I've been blind for a few fun years.

It was rare for the cold-faced man to speak first: "Why do you want to escape?" ”

"I-" Actually, Qinzhou is very good, there are fun and delicious food, I also like the customs, I even feel that I should belong here, but there is only one thing, there is no Li Xuan here, and I just want to stay where there is Li Xuan.

I was speechless, and he asked coldly, "Why do you want to escape?" Are you not happy living in Qinzhou? ”

I replied while wiping his wounds: "Happy, I have endless money, I can play as much as I want, I don't have to worry about losing my life one day, I have never lived so easily." ”

"Under King Xuan alone, you should have a good life in the capital, he- he treats you very well, right?"

"Hmm."

It seemed that someone could finally talk to me about Li Xuan, and I said in a deep voice: "I can't remember the past, Li Xuan seems to know my life experience, but he doesn't want to tell me, so I selfishly think that maybe he is for my good." I have always been unable to believe that the person I married was King Xuan of Daqi, from the moment I remembered, Master Su told me that he and Li Xuan had a marriage contract, and then Long Xiao got married, so I married naturally. ”

The cold-faced man didn't show surprise when he heard me call Emperor Qi by his name, and continued to listen with interest: "King Xuan's mansion is very big, all of them are people I don't know, I didn't get along well with Li Xuan in the first year, he brought me all the best things in the world, but I don't know what he was thinking, sometimes I feel that he seems to like me, and sometimes I feel that he hates me." ”

"Hate you?"

The movements of my hands paused, Li Xuan at that time should have hated me, otherwise he would not have found fault with me at every turn, and punished the people around me for being angry, embarrassing and humiliating me.

"I don't know, it's just a feeling, or maybe he didn't want to marry me."

I really can't think of a better reason, if it weren't for me, he might have married a woman like Sun Yarou who was more helpful to his position, or maybe it was a dream with him who had shared hardships and hardships, and marrying me probably didn't go his way, that's why he hated me like that.

I thought I didn't care about that difficult time, but after saying it, I realized that I actually felt sad when I thought about it, Li Xuan's dislike for me made me sad, I didn't do anything wrong, but he just hated me, that's all.

The cold-faced man noticed my silence, and the conversation changed to another matter: "I heard that he did not refuse the women sent into the mansion by officials from all walks of life, don't you mind?" ”

I blushed, a little cramped, and said uncomfortably, "I don't know them." ”

How many concubines and kabuki live in King Xuan's mansion, and where they come from, I never ask, I didn't need to ask when I didn't love Li Xuan before, and after falling in love with him, he dismissed them, except for Yin Meng, I don't know anything about them. Their existence has little to do with my life.

The wound had been cleaned, and I took out the ointment from the table and applied it evenly to each wound with my fingertips, this ointment had a slight coolness, and he no longer hurt as much as before, and the skin on his back relaxed, not as tight as before.

He turned his back to me and seemed to hesitate for a moment before he said, "Why do you say that you are enemies with Qi Ao?" ”

He called Qi Ao by his first name, and did not call him the city lord, it seems that the relationship between him and Qi Ao is not only as simple as the city lord and his subordinates. Just to treat his wounds, I was covered with light sweat, I clumsily wrapped gauze around his wounds, circle after circle, the two of them were very close, his masculine aura lingered all over my body, which made me a little nervous, I took a long breath, and finally tied a not very good-looking dead knot.

After doing this, I began to clean up the medicine bottles of different sizes on the table, and put them into the medicine box one by one, and the cold-faced man's sharp eyes like a falcon stared at me, I was at a loss, and said, "I have no grudge against him." ”

He was puzzled: "Oh? Why-" Looking at the way I lowered my eyebrows and lowered my head, he understood: "Because of Lady Moon." ”

On the battlefield, the hostile sides will use all means to hope for victory, the relationship between Mrs. Tilting Moon and Li Xuan is definitely no longer a secret, Qi Ao forced Lady Tilting Moon to death when the two armies confronted each other is something that everyone has witnessed, so the two can be said to be separated by a sea of blood and hatred, I am Li Xuan's wife, no matter what, I want to stand with him, and Qi Ao naturally has no personal grudges, not to mention that I have never met him.

The cold-faced man seemed to be forbearing, and the protruding green tendons on his hands were particularly obvious because of the clenched fists: "Lady Tilting Moon's death was an accident, I didn't expect her to be so strong." ”

I didn't pay attention to the concept of stealing in his words, it was clearly Qi Ao, but he said that he didn't expect Mrs. Tilting Moon's fierceness, how obvious hints and apologies, I never thought about it, since the day I learned that I was by Li Xuan's side, Qi Ao never left me.

It is rare in the world to see a woman with such a temperament as Mrs. Tilting Moon, and during the years she was forced to stay in the harem of the southern country, her love for the king of the county has not diminished at all, but it has intensified with the passage of time, and she is so tragic and sad when she decides to die.

"He did not kill him, but because of him he died." Most people in high positions like to disguise their ambitions for power with the big picture in mind, but there are some things that cannot be treated as if they did not happen.

The cold-faced man put on a middle coat and said: "Now that the war between the Southern Kingdom and the Great Qi is tense, and King Xuan is the commander, the faction of people in the Great Qi who are close to the Southern Kingdom will try their best to use you as a bargaining chip to curry favor with the Southern Emperor. ”

I was amazed, "What do you mean by that?" Shangguan Ao, how could he choose to be at this time-"

Thinking about it, isn't this the best time for Shangguan Ao? The two countries are at war, Li Xuan is at the border, and at this juncture he is plotting rebellion, Shangguan Ao's ambition is obvious. I have only been away for half a month, and the Great Qi Palace has changed, and Long Xiao secretly sent me away, is he worried that this struggle will affect me? Shangguan Ao is an old minister and a national abbot, his power is deep-rooted, how easy is it to eradicate it in one fell swoop? The queen is caught in the middle, how should she deal with herself? Which side did she choose to be on?

My heart was pounding, and I had a bad premonition: "I don't know how Long Xiao is now." ”

"You underestimate Emperor Qi too much."

"He ascended the throne on the verge of danger, and it was not by luck that he was able to stand out among the princes. Emperor Qi had great ambitions and ruthless methods, and his worldly ambitions did not allow him to tolerate Shangguan Ao in power for too long, not so much because Shangguan Ao rebelled, but because Emperor Qi forced him to commit it. Since ancient times, there have been few emperors who can sit idly by and watch the power of their relatives monstrous, and what you have to worry about may not be Emperor Qi. ”

"Emperor Qi's virtuous empress is the most subtle force in this coup."

Remembering what happened to me when I lived in the palace, the queen's scheming made it impossible for me to see her as an ordinary woman. Would such a queen choose to stand against Long Xiao?

His eyes burned, and he repeated again: "Stay in Qinzhou, I will definitely protect you." ”

I am grateful that he put himself in my shoes to analyze the situation for me, and I am grateful for it, but—

"I'm going to leave after all."

"At least wait until the war stabilizes."

I have to admit that the cold-faced man is a very good lobbyist, I can't think of a better reason to refuse him, when I first heard the news of the death of Mrs. Tilting Moon, I wanted to run to Li Xuan's side to accompany him and comfort him, and only after calming down did I understand how impulsive this decision was before the situation of the war between the two countries, I had to say: "I'll go to the doctor to connect the leg bone for you." ”

When I closed the door, I took one last look at him through the crack, and when my eyes met, there was a fragile sadness in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth hooked up with a bitter and apologetic smile, and I lowered my head in a panic and looked away.

The sky outside was clear and the wind was light, I looked at the sky from afar, and let out a long breath of turbidity, I decided to stay in Qinzhou for the time being, and waited quietly for Li Xuan to pick me up. I believe that as soon as the war is over, he will come.
