Chapter Twenty-Five: She Just Wants to Go Home
Fuli slowly pushed him away, and his eyes widened for a moment, as if he was looking for measures that could be solved, and suddenly said to Lin Chengzhi: "You take me to see Your Majesty and ask him to send troops to help." As she spoke, she seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and was about to pull Lin Chengzhi out, but found that she couldn't pull him.
Lin Chengzhi was stunned, looked at Shang Fuli's incredible eyes, and said slowly, "I've already gone." ”
"So what? The result? Fu Li hurriedly grabbed his hands, wanting to know some substantive answers.
"Your Majesty has Your Majesty's considerations and positions, and we can't influence them."
"What do you mean? Aren't you his favorite nephew? Why didn't he help Xishu?! Fu Li stepped forward to grab him, took his arm and looked directly at him.
Lin Chengzhi could feel his despair just the moment he lowered his head, yes, that was her dearest, how could he tell her to calm down, her brother was dead...... "Ah Li." Lin Chengzhi pinched her shoulders and said emotionally: "Believe me, they will save the day." ”
"Big brother is dead! You said it yourself! Lin Chengzhi, you said it yourself, you taught me how to calm down?!! That...... That's your loved one......" He could feel that Fu Li was on the verge of collapse, and the silent accusation seemed to pierce his bone marrow like Ling Chi. Lin Chengzhi hugged her into his arms, stroked her back with one hand, and almost cried, "It'll be fine." ”
That day, Fuli kept crying and begging him to take her to see the emperor, but how should he explain the pros and cons of this, he knows the emperor too well, although he has the ambition of the world, but he will not easily shake the things that have been decided, how can he save Xishu......
He asked Sakura Ling to put the incense burner to calm her nerves, and her emotions were slowly calmed, and she gradually fell asleep, and he sat on the edge of the bed that Fu Li, enjoying the tranquility of this moment, as if this hard-won moment was about to come to naught in the next moment.
Lin Chengzhi comforted Fu Li, and then ordered anyone not to disturb again, and he went to the palace.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, like a wild beast about to swallow him, and he just stood outside the palace with an umbrella, tired like a lost dog. The stagnant water reflected his figure, but it was an unprecedented embarrassment, the door of the palace suddenly opened, and Gonggong Chong walked out, slowly walked in front of him, and looked at Lin Chengzhi for a long time before opening his mouth, "Your Majesty said, there is no need to discuss the matter of Xishu again, is it possible that His Royal Highness wants to ignore his own interests for a woman." ”
"I want to see Your Majesty."
"Your Highness, go back, there are still a lot of official affairs to deal with, even if you do, it will be in vain."
"I just need to see him."
"Your Highness......" Chong Gonggong lowered his head, "Some things that are already destined cannot be changed, and our family and country have always been the most difficult hurdle for us to step out." ”
Lin Chengzhi looked at him with low eyebrows, and there seemed to be something different from the world in his eyes. He said it as if he had experienced it himself.
"If His Royal Highness wants to save Xishu, he will disobey the Southern Dynasty, wouldn't it be a loss of conscience."
Really, is it also "good" to be worthy of conscience and not save him when he dies?
"Could it be that after all, it is going to be like the eldest princess?"
Gonggong Chong's body was frightened, he raised his eyes and looked at Lin Chengzhi, and lowered his head gloomily, "The words have been brought, Your Highness should consider it for yourself." So saying, he walked like a palace.
He still didn't leave, and he was left alone outside the palace, and the majestic rain gradually blurred his vision, and the traces flowed through his heart, like a knife cut, but he knew that there was little hope, but he still hoped to turn things around with his own strength, but the result was often just unwilling.
He waited from noon until evening, until the palace was brightly lit, until the rain was getting heavier, and when the door was finally opened.
At that time, his feet were numb, and it was dark, and he almost fainted when he saw Murong Li.
Murong Li sighed, put the cloak on the side of his body, and then patted him on the shoulder twice, "Why do you have to embarrass yourself like this." ”
"In my name, even if I am charged with transferring troops without permission."
Murong Li's eyes gradually became fierce, and he patiently withdrew his hand, and then turned his back to him and silently closed his eyes, "Do you know what you're talking about?" ”
"The minister knows that it is not 'good' to see death and not save those who are worthy of conscience." Lin Chengzhi's words were categorical and righteous, as if he was no longer discussing, "I can't use the name of the Southern Dynasty to be worthy of my conscience, but if I don't save myself when I see death, I really lose my conscience." ”
"Do you know it, you can't change anything by doing this. You can't save Xishu, and from now on, your own reputation will be ruined! Murong Li pointed at him and cursed: Stupid!
"I'd like to give it a try! Your Majesty, for the sake of your late mother's face, permission! Lin Chengzhi knelt down with a thud, his eyes were awe-inspiring, firm and full of expectation.
"I promised Ah Yu to treat you well, and I will never let you ruin everything for a woman. Just now, Jiang Guo sent a battle report that he had already invaded Xishu in a big way, and it would fall in less than three days. Murong Li looked at Lin Chengzhi and told him clearly, "The general trend of Xishu has gone, and no one has the power to return to the sky!" ”
......
After going back that day, Lin Chengzhi fell ill, he has been taking good care of his body, the last serious illness was when he was twelve years old, and his mother became ill. He gradually felt the weakness of his abilities, and he could not protect his beloved, both before and now.
Tao Ling pushed the door in, looked at Lin Chengzhi, who was sitting motionless next to the bed, walked over slowly, and put the medicine next to him, but he didn't raise his eyes to look at her from beginning to end, Tao Ling lowered his head, paid the corner of his clothes, and said after a long time: "Your Highness, drink the medicine first." ”
He didn't speak, and Tao Ling continued: "It's my fault, I shouldn't let the princess know about this, she doesn't know maybe it won't be like this, and His Royal Highness won't ......."
He still didn't speak, and he didn't look at her.
Tao Ling was a little panicked, knelt down suddenly, crying and pleading: "Your Highness is also Xishu's concubine, how can you see that Xishu is in trouble and stand by, please Your Highness must save Xishu from the dire situation!" Thank you for this! ”
Lin Chengzhi's face finally had some waves, and I saw him slowly move his gaze, but he just glanced away, "What about her?" ”
"The princess woke up yesterday afternoon, but she just sat on the edge of the bed and was stunned, and she never spoke, but she just asked the slave maid to inquire about the war situation in Xishu, but His Royal Highness was not in the house......"
He thought about it, and was about to speak, but the words came to his lips and he still held back, he thought, after all, he didn't even have the courage to meet her.
This lasted for two days and two nights. Lin Chengzhi kept inquiring about the war situation in Xishu, and on the other hand, he also learned that Fuli did not eat or drink, and clamored to return to Xishu in person.
He had no choice but to bite the bullet and go to her.
But the moment you see it, it's like a world away. She had only been seen for a few days, and she had already lost a lot of weight, and her face was getting thinner and thinner.
When Fuli saw him, except for a moment of surprise, he didn't have too many expressions.
Lin Chengzhi put the food in front of her, then sat down beside him, and slowly opened his lips, "You can't joke with your body anymore, I know you don't have an appetite, so I just made you some light and appetizing porridge, you drink a little ......"
Fuli looked at him squarely, and asked for a long time: "Xishu, how is my relatives......
"You drink the porridge first." As he spoke, he picked it up and put it to his mouth and blew it, then handed it to her, and Fu Li turned his head away without thinking about it, "You tell the truth, Xishu, my relatives, what's wrong?" ”
Lin Chengzhi was still running away, but she shouted to stop her, "Lin Chengzhi, is it so difficult to tell the truth?" I just want to know what happened to Xishu? I just want to hear the truth! ”
"Ah Li, I'm sorry."
"Lin Chengzhi! I want to go back to Xishu! With that, he got out of bed. Lin Cheng's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly grabbed her, "Ah Li, you promised me that you would not leave the Shizi Mansion, at least not Nanyang City, and not leave the Central Plains." ”
Fuli recalled what he had said, and seemed to realize that something was wrong with his words, as if from that moment on, he expected that there would be today, she looked at him with unseen deep eyes, from the first time they met, those eyes were hidden too much, and Fang Cai's words were even more amazing, as if he was the one who had been kept in the dark from beginning to end, "Did you already know something?" ”
Lin Chengzhi didn't want to hide it from her, and there was no need to hide it from her anymore, recalling Fu Zheng's instructions to him, he still said it, "Your brother came to the Shizi Mansion that day to tell me that if Xishu is in trouble one day, at least protect you." ”
"Brother expected such a day?"
He nodded, "They just said they wanted you to be safe." ”
"I don't want to listen to this, I don't listen to this, I beg you, count me begging you, take me to see Your Majesty, take me to see him, I want to go home, Lin Chengzhi, I want to go home......" She slapped Lin Chengzhi with both hands, and finally changed to a silent cry.
"I can promise you anything but that."
"Then you take me to see Your Majesty, I will beg him personally, I will beg him, let him send troops to save Xishu!"
"Ah Li, Your Majesty, he won't agree."
"Why? Why? Isn't harmony the conclusion of friendship between the two countries? Isn't it just an ally? Why is Xishu in trouble, and you Southern Dynasties don't come to the rescue?! ”
"Ah Li, the Southern Dynasty has the position of the Southern Dynasty, Xishu and Jiang are both friendly with the Southern Dynasty, the Southern Dynasty must not be biased, that will only make the world unconvinced."
Fuli pushed him away violently, "After all, it's for profit, so what am I." ”
Lin Chengzhi was about to step forward to hug her, but was pushed away by the help of her, and complained sharply, "Then what am I?!" A vase that has been protected by every possible means? Or is it just a tool for your Southern Dynasty to win over Western Shu? ......”
