For several days, it was like this.

On the seventh day, when the light turned pale, he got up and walked to the door, and just as the door panel was soft, she suddenly opened her mouth: "I want Fan Yingbo ......"

At the same time, she turned her eyes to look at him.

Ben's cold gaze was stunned the moment it touched his back......

What is it that he is holding in the crook of his arm?

Twists and turns?

Is he here every night to review the recitals?

However, there were no candles in the room, and ...... How did he do it silently?

The righteousness of the heart suddenly froze.

And he didn't show surprise or boo because of her "awakening", nor did he ask her why she was looking for Fan Yingbo later, the hand that pushed the door was just stagnant, and then he whispered: "Okay." ”

Then, the door slammed, and the sound of snow was far away again.

Her gaze seemed to be fixed, and it was not until the sparse birdsong outside the house that she turned her eyes and continued to look at Chengchen for a moment.

————————————————————

Fan Yingbo really came, just the next day.

It was still a face like a wood carving, and the gaze that looked at her was empty and godless, like a puppet without a soul who let her do whatever she wanted.

“…… The emperor refuted the minister's excerpt and repeated your set of rhetoric, and they didn't move......"

"His Royal Highness the Eighth is now in Changxin Palace, but he is just grounded. But even if he can't help it, he won't come out. Concubine Ning hasn't woken up since she fainted that day, and the imperial doctor said that it hurt her brain, and I'm afraid she won't get better......"

"The Marquis of Yulang also came back, and went to Changxin Palace to visit, but was driven out by His Royal Highness the Eight. Now he follows the emperor every day, is deeply trusted by the emperor, and has taken over the original affairs of King Qingning......"

Su Jinling didn't ask her why she knew so clearly about the things in the palace since she was in the Qingning Palace, and she didn't shy away from it, nor did she give any explanation for her superb "insight", everything went smoothly as if she had been prepared, but it was leaking a message so smoothly...... Someone asked her to answer truthfully, and that person was definitely not Su Jinling.

just said so much, but did not mention half a word of Qingning Palace.

The point is that Su Jinling didn't ask.

Su Jinling didn't dare to ask, she was afraid to hear the news she didn't want to face, but ......

She often supports Fan Yingbo to work, and Fan Yingbo does it obediently, with quick hands and feet, so that people can't find a trace of fault.

She asked Fan Yingbo to help her go to the market to buy this and that, all of which were needles, threads, brains, rouge, gouache and other gadgets, and bought them back in a hurry, but Fan Yingbo sometimes had to run several times a day, but he didn't complain.

You don't need to buy it back, you just leave it there.

It's just that every time she goes out, Su Jinling has to stand in front of the window and watch her back disappear.

Finally one day, when Fan Yingbo was tossed four times by Su Jinling because of the inappropriateness of a needle, he bought a bunch of needles and put them in front of Su Jinling, for her to choose.

Su Jinling picked up the needles one by one and put them in front of her eyes to examine them carefully.

Fan Yingbo stood behind her, silent and motionless, like a shadow.

Su Jinling picked up a needle again......

Her face was somewhat distorted and reflected on the silver pins, which looked a little weird.

"Like him?"

She opened her mouth slowly, her voice so soft that it seemed to be talking to herself.

Even though the form was distorted, she still saw the shoulder of the person behind her shake from the needle, and slowly raised her eyes to look at her, and the red mole on her eyebrows was strangely pulled into a line.

"Because I like him, I became a show girl; Because he likes him, even if he hates me, he wants to enter Xueyang Palace, live with me in Tingxue Xuan, and be my dowry girl, and be by my side from beginning to end; Because I like him, I follow his instructions and often appear at 'critical' moments; Because I like him, I will be so hard-working, no matter what I ask you to do, I will be meticulous. But if I let you die, you will do it? ”

Fan Yingbo lowered his eyes: "In the end, you can't help it first." But there's one thing you're wrong...... I don't hate you, you don't deserve my hate! ”

Su Jinling chuckled: "Yes, so even if you disdain me, you never attacked me, and you saved me." Honestly, Yingbo, I thank you so much! ”

She turned her head and looked at the person behind her seriously: "Moreover, you never lied to me, thank you!" ”

Fan Yingbo's eyes flashed slightly, turned around, and walked to the window.

"I didn't lie to you, you never asked me anything."

He raised his head slightly and looked at the vast sea of snow.

It's almost February, and there is no spring yet, and the second year of Xuanchang is really a strange year.

"My father was a county magistrate in a remote area, and that's true, it's just that he's long dead. My father was implicated in the case of Taiyang County Shoujing Keping's embezzlement of ink...... Jing Keping wanted my father to help him carry the black pot and promise heavy profits. My father was loyal to the court and refused to submit. Jing Keping fabricated evidence of my father's corruption and perversion of the law to the imperial court, and at the same time threatened him. Before the court's verdict was issued, his father could not bear the pressure and committed suicide, and his mother followed suit. That year, I was ten years old. ”

Even when he told such grief and indignation, Fan Yingbo's voice was flat.

"I was alone in a house with four walls, and I didn't know where to go. That's when he appeared in front of me. She sighed, and then spoke, already a little excited: "He asked me if I could testify about Jing Keping's corruption of ink, and I answered, although I don't know what role a ten-year-old child's testimony will play in court." But seeing his snow coat, standing spotlessly in a simple room, he was still noble, as if the sun in the sky had fallen on the mortal earth, illuminating everything at once......"

Fan Yingbo seemed to be immersed in the beauty of the first encounter, and his voice rarely let out an excited tremor: "I don't know how he helped his father clear his name, but I just watched him lift his sword and personally kill Jing Keping when the voice of the post guard smashed into the lobby." I wasn't scared at all. Then I saw him nod, and there was a look of appreciation in his eyes. He asked me if I would like to follow him, but there was one condition, I would give him my life. ”

"I agreed without even thinking about it!"

Such a firm tone couldn't help but make Su Jinling imagine that girl's decision back then.

"Do you remember when the Imperial Doctor said that I was 'overstrained when I was young'? Actually, I asked him to teach me how to practice. I was stupid, so I had to practice day and night. I don't want to be able to reach the top, I just want to be able to follow him, be closer to him, be closer. I did whatever he said, not only because I gave him my life, but because I didn't know why I wanted to refuse, and I didn't have the word 'refuse' in my heart at all. ”

"The first assignment I received was you." She didn't look back, as if she was just recalling: "He didn't say anything, he just wanted me to enter the palace draft." It was too late, but the place with women was never peaceful, so I came anyway. Of course, his arrangement is indispensable. There are so many women in the Baiying Palace, but when I saw you, I knew that this task must be related to you. ”

"Really!" She sneered: "I never ask him why, I just observe." From your meeting with him during the Dragon Boat Festival, to the time I also entered the Snow Yang Palace with you, and I was in the same room with you. When I found the lacquered wooden box with his name engraved on it in your box, I understood everything. ”

"If that's the case, why do you force yourself to do what you don't want to do?" Su Jinling looked at the window, but instead of looking at her, she looked at the snow-white.

"Why not? What he is willing is what I am willing. laughed, as if laughing at himself: "Fortunately, you are not too bad, you never ask questions, but I still don't understand why he likes you, and I like it so much...... To the point where I can't extricate myself. ”

When he spoke again, he was already angry: "What is so good about you?" It's just that you have a pretty face, a slim body, and a nice voice, but they want to be fascinated by you. Man, what stupidity! ”

"He is such a cold-faced and cold-hearted person, he has many concubines in his house, but he has never seen him look at him more, but to you...... What the hell are you good about? As soon as this sentence came out, it was simply a question.

"How am I?" Su Jinling smiled miserably.

If I'm really good, how can Xuanyi ......

She bit her lip and swallowed the interlaryngeal infarction.

"For your sake, he has been in danger several times, but he didn't even want his life, and he robbed women with the emperor." She laughed twice: "He should have concentrated on trying to achieve great things, but you, you almost ruined a most outstanding monarch!" If it weren't for Concubine Xian's threat to him with your life, he might really be as idle as all men......"

"What?" Su Jinling suddenly turned his mind.

"You're so stupid, you don't know what he's done for you. As early as the emperor was moved by you, Concubine Xian warned him to stay away from you. Later, you were imprisoned for the Red Flower incident, and after you faked your death and came back to life, Concubine Xian threatened him with your life. He had no choice but to pretend to be estranged from you. But you misunderstood him, if it weren't for you, he wouldn't have gone north with Hu, and there wouldn't have been the thing that made Luo Yue almost discredited, but you, what did you do? ”

She turned: "You married someone, married his opponent." You stabbed him with a sword. You know that he doesn't explain everything well, do you know how sad you make him like this? You probably don't know it, but in order to get you some white jade lotus, he has suffered internal injuries and often coughs up blood......

Su Jinling's hand on the side of the desk clenched unconsciously.

"How many assassinations has he been through over the years? How many thrills did you block? He went to great lengths just to see you. He executed the women of the Liewang Mansion, eradicated the old ministers of the court, avenged you, hated you, and cleared all obstacles for you. And you...... You only know that Yuwen Xuanyi almost died for you, but he has done so much for you silently, has he ever received a trace of reward from you? ”
