348 Struggle
Si Yue looked at Lin Su's shocked appearance and laughed softly.
"Who said Chunyan is not a daughter of a family?" He reached out and touched Lin Su's slender fingers, and said in a low voice, "Don't forget, she is the daughter of your Lin family." Even if it's not your father's biological daughter, it's from the Lin family. And the Ussurin family, how can it be regarded as a family family, right? ”
Hearing Si Yue's last words, Lin Su stiffened, hesitated for a moment before looking up at Si Yue.
"Your Majesty, the concubine still thinks it's inappropriate...... she didn't deny that she was from the Wusulin clan, but she didn't admit it either, "Chunyan has been with the concubine for many years, if she has a heart, it's just a matter of a little inquiry......"
Si Yue raised his eyebrows and glanced at Lin Su's calm face, and then said in a low voice: "I know all these things in my heart, and whether it will succeed or not at this time depends on the words of the third prince of Tang." It's just that if he wants to marry the princess of our dignified Heavenly Empire, he is still a little short. ”
Lin Su pursed his lips and smiled, wanting to stop Si Yue's thoughts. "I'm afraid that Chunyan is from a humble background and is not worthy of the third prince, but because of her background, she will do something inappropriate, so that Qiu Lunguo will look down on our Heavenly Empire...... Moreover, if her identity is revealed, I am afraid that not only will it not contribute to the peace between the two countries, but it will anger Qiu Lunguo. ”
She paused slightly, "Naturally, we are not afraid of a small Qiu Lun country, but it is the people of the frontier who suffer." The emperor loves the people like a son, so naturally he doesn't want to see such a situation. ”
Si Yue glanced at Lin Su deeply, took a sip of the sour plum soup on the side and didn't speak.
When Lin Su saw him like this, he knew that he didn't like him like this. Therefore, he hesitated for a moment and finally did not continue. She glanced at Chunyan, who was standing on the side, with a pale face, and thought for a moment before waving her hand to go down.
When Chunyan left, Lin Su sighed in a low voice.
"The concubine is really reluctant to let Chunyan go away...... Qiu Lunguo is thousands of miles away in southern Xinjiang, and the concubines have heard that the people in those places are fierce. These three princes are quite elegant when they see them today, but what they look like in private is another scene......" Lin Su raised his eyes and looked at Si Yue, "Your Majesty, is there no other way than to be friendly?" ”
Si Yue looked at Lin Su with an indescribable meaning in his eyes.
"Su'er, it's not for me to be greedy for comfort." He whispered, "If I am allowed to say it, it is a shame to be kind. However, the ministers were right. Although our DPRK forces are not weak, they do not have a good general who can fully support the scene. Originally, Wen Jingxuan was a good candidate, but he is now blind in both eyes and will be kept at home for many years. And others ......"
Si Yue shook his head, "I need time, do you understand?" ”
Lin Su was silent, lowered his head for a long time before he whispered: "The concubine is up to the emperor." Whether it's Chunyan or Ah Ling. She looked up, her eyes full of tears, and looked at Si Yue deeply. The bright eyes of the past seem to contain indescribable friendship.
"In the hearts of the concubines, the emperor is the most important. The emperor is the husband of the concubine, and the concubine takes the husband as the key and the king as the key......" she said and gently held Si Yue's hand, "As long as it is good for the husband, the concubine is willing to do everything." She said two lines of tears flowing from her eyes, and Si Yue was sad and moved.
Si Yue took Lin Su into his arms, gently rubbed Lin Su's cheeks with his cheeks, and whispered in her ear: "In this life, I will definitely not fail you." ”
Lin Su nodded slightly and did not speak.
On the second day, Si Yue got up early in the morning, Lin Su waited for him to wear court clothes and wash, and used some breakfast before sending him out of the Fuliu Palace. When he left, Lin Su glanced back at Xia Yan and said, "You go and rest, change Chunyan to serve." ”
Xia Yan glanced up at Lin Su, then responded, beckoned Xia He and Chunque to come over and serve Lin Su, and then took two steps back and left.
When Chunyan saw Lin Su, Lin Su was leaning on the beauty couch, holding a copy of "Zhaojun Ji" in his hand, and his mind seemed to be completely absent from it. Chunyan walked over and added some tea to Lin Su, and then picked up the feather fan on the side and gently fanned Lin Su.
Feeling a hint of coolness, Lin Su came back to his senses. Seeing Chunyan smile when she looked over, she reached out to help Chunyan straighten up slightly, and then said in a low voice: "I heard what the emperor meant yesterday, and now I want to ask you what you think." If you don't want to, then I will try to change the emperor's mind as well......"
"Master......" Chunyan looked up at Lin Su, her eyes shining with a hint of light. With the words of the master, the slave and maid are satisfied. She put down the fan with a slight smile, and took the initiative to put her hand on Lin Su's hand for the first time, "The master treats the slave and the maid like a sister, and the slave and the maid have always kept these in mind." Now that she can do something important for her master, the slave and maid are even more happy. ”
Her eyes were a little moist as she spoke, Lin Su turned her head away, and said in a low voice: "Even if you marry Qiu Lunguo, as a princess, it can't guarantee the peace of your life." You see, once the two countries are launched, then you are the first sacrifice to be sacrificed to the heavens......" Her voice trembled, barely audible.
Chunyan's hand trembled slightly, "The slave knows it." It's just that the slave also knows. Only when the slave and maid marry Qiu Lunguo, will the emperor look up to the Lin family and the master. This is the only way to ensure the safety of the master's life......"
Lin Su was silent.
What she said to Si Yue yesterday was half-true and half-false. She is naturally affectionate towards Si Yue, otherwise the days of being a concubine in the harem would be so difficult. However, giving up everything for the sake of Si Yue is really deceiving. In comparison, she cares more about Chunyan. After all, even if Si Yue wanted Chunyan to make peace, it depended on whether the third prince of Tang agreed or not.
If the third prince of Tang does not agree, I am afraid that this matter will not be successful.
And now, listening to Chunyan planning for herself, she is even more bitter in her heart.
"I don't need you to make such a sacrifice......"
"Why did the master anger the emperor for the sake of the slave?" Chunyan interrupted Lin Su's words, "Last night, the slave maid had already thought clearly. If the slave maid is married as a princess, then it will also be very beneficial to my brother's future career. The master will be a slave and a maidservant, and his lust for profit will be consumed......"
Chunyan looked at Lin Su with a look of pleading and pleading in her eyes.
"The slave and maid voluntarily went to Qiu Lun Country to make peace, and no matter whether they live or die in the future, they will have no regrets!"
Lin Su looked at her like this, and was silent for a long time, before he suddenly took a breath and said, "Okay, I'll plan for you personally!" ”
