Chapter Ninety-Eight: I Can Help You Leave
"You ......."
Zuo Chen held a blood-stained silk in his hand, his face was complicated and he wanted to speak, he wanted to say something, but when he really needed to say it, he couldn't say it, and he couldn't help but sigh dullly.
"Hehe, you saw it all? It's okay, it's just ......"
Ling Yun smiled indifferently and shook his shoulders, trying to make himself look more relaxed, but he still couldn't erase the heaviness.
"What is it? If you don't want to take medicine, do you really think that your body is made of iron, or do you not want to live at all? ”
Before he finished speaking, he was coldly intercepted by Zuo Chen, Zuo Chen's face was ugly and glared at Ling Yun, who was still sick and weak, and his face, which had never been expressionless, was rarely dyed with a touch of seriousness.
Ling Yun unconsciously lowered his deep eyes to the wooden table not far away, on which there was a half-embroidered pillow, which seemed to have just been put on for a short time, without a trace of dust, and he couldn't help but sigh melancholy.
"What is that?"
"That's the reason, the person I love is dead, just sitting at that table, holding the unfinished embroidered pillow in his hand, talking to me."
An ugly smile withdrew from Ling Yun's pale and bloodless face, his eyes lowered weakly, his body unconsciously arched up, and he struggled to sit up.
"Huh...... Don't talk about me, I think you're the one who doesn't want to live anymore, stay in the imperial study every day to correct official documents, and don't even eat food, in the end...... And for that? ”
Ling Yun raised his head with a wanton chuckle, with a casual smile on his dark face, but he didn't know if he was wrong, Zuo Chen saw guilt in those deep eyes, remembered what happened before, and wanted to pull out a smile and pretend that nothing had happened, but there was no way to do it.
The corners of his mouth trembled stiffly, if he unintentionally picked up a pillow from the side, glanced in other directions to avoid his gaze, the cyan clothes moved lightly with his movements, Zuo Chen did the stool next to the bed and said a little uncomfortably: "Hehe, it's just that I'm busy on official business, won't you want to tell me this when you call me today, it's getting colder and colder, you should also have a good rest." ”
"Naturally not, I don't think my days are many, if I don't die on the battlefield, I will naturally fulfill my promise, I, Lingyun, have always been a man of words, you were willing to let me go, I promised you a condition that should be repaid."
Ling Yun coughed softly a few more times, his face was pale but he looked at Zuo Chen very seriously, there was Zuo Chen, who didn't know how to be persistent, and Zuo Chen, who helped him hold the pillow and prepare to put it on, was stunned for a while, and his subordinates' movements also followed and stopped.
He never thought that he would take that promise seriously to heart, it was just a joke he made with himself, in fact, to be honest, most of the reason at that time was to fulfill his carelessness, and a small part of the reason was also because he wanted to leave a free future for himself, maybe also to be angry with the person who took possession of him without gentleness and domineering.
"You still remember, I forgot, just as you didn't say it at that time, what big thing can I do, I can't be envied by others under one person and above tens of thousands of people, how can there be anything?" After pausing for a moment, he continued to lower his head and fiddle with the pillow in his hand intently, and gently patted a few times and carefully cushioned him behind him, Zuo Chen said absentmindedly.
What can he be unhappy about, hehe, how many people envy his power and power, how many people want to be related to him, everything he eats and drinks is the best, what else can he not be satisfied with, thinking about it He couldn't help but laugh softly, but with the emptiness and falsehood that even he was afraid of.
"You're not happy at all, I can see in your eyes, actually...... From a certain point of view, we are all the same people, I don't care about power, I care about money, An Neng bends his eyebrows and bends his waist to make me unhappy, isn't this what you once said, where did you go three years ago? ”
Ling Yun's wise eyes looked straight at him, as if he could see his heart, half of his body was softly buried in the pillow, his honey-colored skin emitting a seductive light in the sun, the sound was not loud, but it passed straight through his heart.
"Three years ago, it was just a joke, you look at me now, I am not Zuo Xiaobai at that time at all, why mention everything to me three years ago."
Zuo Chen pulled his lips helplessly with far-fetchedness, flickering to dodge his eyes, and couldn't help but think of the scene when they met at that time, when he was just a thirteen-year-old boy, he had traveled a lot of mountains and rivers, and his character always wanted to have a good time, and his personality was even more debauched.
That is he still has the heroism of being able to go to the end of the world with a sword in one hand, and met Lingyun who also went out on the top of the mountain, at that time he was only his current age, following the side of the first emperor, respectfully and respectfully without movement but able to let him see him at first sight in the vast sea of people, stable but not surprising.
"Looks like you're really remembering...... Is there anything I can do to help, such as ...... Help you get out of here, or whatever, whatever you want, whatever I can do. ”
"Get out of here?"
Hearing his words, Zuo Chen was stunned for a moment, and his heart began to hurt coldly, do you want to leave him?
He was so reluctant, in the face of the freedom he had been looking forward to and almost desperate for, he had a little bit of heartbeat, here dull with a kind of despair that was almost drowning, but when you were about to give up the struggle helplessly, someone suddenly told you that you were saved, you could breathe, and that feeling seemed to forget even breathing.
"Yes, I've already arranged people outside the palace, do you want to? Only you can leave at any time with a word, and my brothers still admire you, or ....... ”
"But, after all, this is the Imperial Palace." Zuo Chen hesitated for a moment and said.
Even he didn't know if he was making excuses again, not wanting to leave, leaving the cage that imprisoned him, or ...... Really worried about those individuals.
"What's in the palace, this world is not at your disposal...... Ahem...... Yao, Yaoyao, see and laugh. ”
Ling Yun coughed softly, but the free and easy breath on his body still made Zuo Chen stunned, once upon a time, he was also so free and free without worry.
"Let me think about it."
He wanted to get out of here, he wanted to go back to his old life, even if he couldn't be as free as that, but he still wanted to.
Yes, he was in love with Ruiyan, but when he saw him appear in front of him with a new favorite, whether it was a woman or a woman, his heart was pierced and bleeding constantly, and only he knew how much it hurt, if it was a way for both of them to be able to free themselves from such a cycle.
Well, he is willing to leave here, not to mention that the person that person loves is not him at all.
"What if...... I...... If you really want to deliver on your promises, will you do it? ”
As if thinking of something, he suddenly raised his head and looked at Ling Yun seriously, holding the handle on the newly lacquered chair, faintly revealing a little trace.
Because those beautiful eyes are closed, there are those complicated feelings hidden in them, which are difficult to be discovered, and the breathing becomes more and more rapid.
"I will." Ling Yun's eyes without sorrow or joy looked straight at him and said seriously.
Zuo Chen trembled slightly when he heard his answer, and slowly opened his eyes, those bright eyes were deep and bright with dazzling light, and the compelling elegance made Ling Yun flash slightly.
After a moment of silence, his bright eyes were a little dim, his thin lips opened and closed slightly, and he hesitated for a long time before he whispered in that hoarse voice: "So, take medicine well, make yourself better, help me take care of Ruiyan, the person he has always liked is you, at least don't make him so sad, okay?"
"This ...... It's that I have to ask, you don't have to feel that there is anything to blame, I don't blame you, maybe I regret knowing him but it has nothing to do with you, it's me who didn't take care of my heart and fell in love with him. ”
After Zuo Chen's words fell, the whole room fell into silence, and only a sa sa sound could be heard from time to time outside the window, and a few withered fallen leaves fell from the trees with the wind, with a bit of coolness.
"You ......." Ling Yun looked at him and opened his mouth unnaturally, pursed his lips and lowered his head for a moment before he spoke, "You...... Like him? ”
Zuo Chen nodded wordlessly, his ink-colored hair slid down his emaciated shoulders and scattered on his chest, his messy hair and cyan clothes reflected each other, unconsciously dyed with a different style.
After a moment of silence, he lightly skimmed the corners of his lower lip with a slight self-deprecation, and then said in a low voice, "So...... Don't blame yourself for this, even if you protest in this way, he won't care, don't joke about his body. ”
"You like him...... Why, and ...... Leave. ”
Ling Yun looked at his sad expression with some incomprehensible confusion and asked nonchalantly.
"It's because I like it that I'm leaving, I thought you'd understand."
Ling Yun listened to his words and fell silent speechlessly, lowering his head, he didn't understand, he had always understood, but he didn't want to understand.
"When are you going to leave?"
"Wait a few days, after those things in the Khitan are over."
