Chapter 49: Night Talk

This sentence was sonorous and powerful, with a faint sound of gold and stone, which made Mingyue's pupils shrink suddenly.

There was silence in the hall, and after a while, Mingyue actually smiled.

"It is worthy of being a descendant of the Celestial Empire!"

She laughed and coughed, and covered her lips with a silk handkerchief, which was bloodshot.

Quietly putting the scarf into her sleeve, Mingyue still couldn't suppress this bitter and sad smile, "Your Highness has lofty ambitions, and he can be regarded as a great figure in the world - I am sick now, I don't know how long I can live, and what can I help you?!" ”

"What if I can cure you?"

An abrupt sentence interrupted her laughter.

Mingyue's eyes widened, and her usual obscure and dead expression finally showed a trace of fluctuation.

"You...... Is there really a way? ”

The low voice, with a hint of unknown trembling, was like a bright willow before a desperate situation.

"It's just a hypothesis...... I already have some clue about the golden needle in you, but it will take time. ”

"I see."

Mingyue snorted, and the dazzling light faded from her eyes, but it was no longer like a pool of stagnant water.

"Even if I can recover smoothly, if I really want to face the generals of the new dynasty, it will be a life-and-death crisis - the emperor's fierce generals are like clouds, all of whom have been immersed in the battlefield for a long time, and with my own merits in northern Xinjiang, it is really not qualified to be proud of the world."

"I never wanted to fight hard with a knife and a gun."

Seeing that she misunderstood what she meant, Bao Jin didn't refute it in detail, but just got up with a smile and said: "The time, the place, and the people, I only need to have two of these three things, and I can turn the clouds and rain in this imperial capital, so why bother with the bloody battle of one state and one government?" ”

"Don't mention this matter for now, you can rest well and think it through."

After she said this, she turned around to leave, but Mingyue called her-

"I promise you!"

The voice was low, accompanied by boundless bitterness, like the reckless fear of a rare beast after being injured, and it was categorically beaten, accompanied by the sound of pushing the door.

As the door of the temple closed, a quiet answer came from the air:

"Thank you......"

****

Baojin said goodbye to Mingyue and walked alone on the palace road.

At this time, it has been nearly three watches, and everything is quiet, only the flowers and leaves on the side of the road are swaying, making a slight rustling sound, but it is more quiet.

In the distance, only the outline of the palace was revealed in the darkness, and the golden glazed tiles shone in the moonlight.

The copper bell under the eaves was blown by the wind and clanked, and the palace lamps hung high and fluttered, illuminating the palace road more and more tortuous and deep.

Everything in front of him is both familiar and unfamiliar to Baojin.

In the old days, this was her home, the home where she spent fifteen years with her father and sister. And now......

She bit her lip slightly, alone, dazed, and continued to walk.

Walking around the corner in a daze, a lantern suddenly appeared in front of him, and he was caught off guard, and the two sides almost collided together.

"Who is so bold as to dare to surprise the Holy Driver!"

Zhang Xun's sharp and familiar voice sounded in the darkness.

Bao Jin came back to his senses, and immediately saw the man standing behind the lantern, and hurriedly confessed: "It's me who is in too much ......."

"You haven't slept yet...... the emperor sighed slightly, walked up to her, looked at her carefully, and then said, "You just came back from Concubine Yue, right?" ”

"Your Majesty."

"Hmph...... If I really want to be a saint, how dare Concubine Yue deceive the king?! ”

The emperor sneered, but instead of being mean and sharp as usual, he sighed again, bringing out a deep tiredness.

"It's almost dawn, I can't sleep, you can go with me!"

These words were not a tone of discussion, Bao Jin answered, the emperor had already taken the lantern from Zhang Xun's hand, and the two of them headed towards the imperial garden.

"You've heard about this tonight, right?"

"Yes......"

The shade of the tree covered the emperor's face, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, so he only heard him say again: "After tossing in the middle of the night, even the queen was furious, I comforted her for a long time, and just came out of the Zhaoyang Palace." ”

The more Bao Jin listened, the more strange he became, and he couldn't help frowning, only thinking that the two emperors and queens were very weird, and the husband wore a green hat, and there was no violent reaction, but he was very angry and hated for his wife.

"When something like this happens, I'm also very angry, the dignity of the heavenly family, how can I tolerate indecent deeds?! But if you really want to say that you are sad, you can't say it......"

The emperor's voice was gentle and calm, without the slightest coldness and cruelty of the day, he sighed deeply and said: "These concubines are like clouds, I actually don't like anyone, where is the slightest bit of love ****?!" ”

"So, in Your Majesty's heart, is there only the queen?"

Bao Jin asked naturally.
