Chapter 43: Misunderstanding
Gao Saiyin listened next to the wing, and did not rush in, he was originally a secret guard cultivated by the king of the Shan Kingdom, and was later sent to assist Jiang Xianxu, if he should be loyal to the object, compared to Jiang Xianxu, Princess Hongzhi is a more reasonable object.
It's just that the secret guard, who should be ruthless and unintentional, gave birth to delusions that should not be there, and loyalty inadvertently changed hands.
In the house, Jiang Xianxu looked at the princess of the red branch in front of him with a pair of light-colored beautiful eyes, and said with a normal face: "The princess doesn't have to be like this, why should you compare your golden body with a chess piece that is discarded when you use it up?" I'm just trying to win her heart first, so that I can coax her to help us integrate Bi Du into the jade carving sent to the palace. ”
Hongzhi was skeptical: "Even if you want to, how can you risk revealing your identity to her!" Father has secretly supported you for many years, isn't it because you are the only combination of the Shan royal family and the southern royal family today. The Shan State values your identity, how can the emperor of the southern kingdom not be afraid of your identity? If you had known that you had not died in his assassination, they would have sent someone to assassinate you again! ”
Jiang Xianxu heard this, hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled: "Oh? So Princess Redbranches is worried about my personal safety? Is it because the vinegar jar has been overturned? ”
Hongzhi suddenly had a hot flush on her face, she stretched out her hand and pointed at Jiang Xianxu and said: "Although I am now in the southern country, but the Dongshan Temple is the secret guard of my Shan country, you should not be unreasonable to me!" ”
Jiang Xianxu grabbed the fair-skinned jade hand in front of him, took advantage of the situation and pulled the red branch into his arms, and approached the tip of his nose infinitely close to her, and the man's breath pounced on the face of the red branch princess, making her heart beat uncontrollably.
At this moment, she was surrounded by his hands, unable to break free, but did not scream, just closed her eyes tightly.
Seeing this, a trace of disdain flashed in Jiang Xianxu's eyes, and he let her go and said, "I can't bear to let the child trap the wolf, and exposing my identity to Miss Lin is just to completely make her trust me." She only has one side of me, without any evidence, even if she denounces me, she can't help me, who dares to believe what she denounced? If I did, then all the people involved in me at that time would have been guilty of dereliction of duty at worst, and at worst they would have been guilty of treason! Who would dare to believe what she says? Even if someone believes it, those dignitaries in Beijing don't dare to believe it, and many of the people who escorted me at the beginning are now celebrities in the palace. ”
Princess Hongzhi, who got up from Jiang Xianxu's arms, had slightly red cheeks at the moment, and nodded in a daze.
A look of pride appeared in Jiang Xianxu's pale eyes: "But if she trusts me, our plan will be half successful." After all, apart from her, no one can poison the emperor's jade pendant. ”
Gao Sai felt that it was almost over, and gently knocked on the door of the wing: "Shizi, I'm back." ”
"Come in."
After Gao Sai entered the door, he respectfully saluted Princess Hongzhi: "Princess Jin'an." ”
Hongzhi saw Gao Sai come in, the hot flashes on his face gradually dissipated, and he left the wing room with a hum.
After Gao Saier heard Princess Hongzhi walk away, he said in a calm voice: "Shizi, why do you want to provoke Princess Hongzhi, if she wants to move Miss Lin, we can't stop her." Besides, in addition to Lin Ji's jade pendant, don't we still have a backup plan? ”
Jiang Xianxu's face was gloomy, and he said in a muffled voice: "I just feel that this is the first time I want someone so much, I want her to be imprisoned by my side for the rest of my life, I live with me, and she will die with me when I die." No one is allowed to touch it except me, whether it is the princess of the red branch or the king of Shan. ”
Gao Sai was suddenly shocked by his gloomy gaze, and he didn't dare to say anything more.
This autumn, Lin Zhuyun went in and out the most is the Jasmine Building.
The patterns painted by Jiang Yu are deeply loved by dignitaries, and with the fact that Jiang Yu, the leader of a hundred flowers in the mausoleum, wears it every day, and the sales have soared, and Lin Zhuyun has to go to the dark alley more and more diligently.
Today, Lin Zhuyun came out of the Jasmine Building, looked up at the dazzling sun in the sky, and frowned.
Although the autumn sun is not as scorching as the summer side, it is still not to be underestimated, through a layer of white veil covering her face, but it still makes Lin Zhuyun's cheeks hurt slightly, she raised the silk handkerchief to block the sun, but suddenly an oil-paper umbrella opened above her head, casting a shade.
Xiaotang didn't bring an umbrella when she went out today, and her figure was not so tall, Lin Zhuyun turned to look at the person behind her suspiciously.
The dark hairband is tied up in a bun, the sword eyebrows are starry, the nose bridge is straight like a knife, and the old scars loom under a few strands of forehead.
It's Kwong Lim.
He opened the oil-paper umbrella for Lin Zhuyun behind her, and he stood outside the umbrella, his honey-colored skin shining in the sun.
Lin Zhuyun hurriedly bowed his head and said, "General Kuang, how did you come to such a place. ”
Kuang Xiao's deep voice seemed to have a hint of hoarseness: "Sister Yun...... It feels like I haven't seen you in a long time. ”
Lin Zhuyun gave Xiaotang a look, and Xiaotang took the umbrella from Kuang Lian's hand in his heart, and held it firmly beside Lin Zhuyun, so that no trace of the sun could leak in.
"Didn't General Kuang come to the Lin Mansion a while ago, so why haven't you seen him for a long time?"
Kuang Lin clenched his fists slightly: "Since the day of Nacai, more than a month has passed. ”
He paused, his dark eyes seemed to be wet, and he whispered, "Sister Yun is annoyed?" There were no words for me that day, and they seemed to avoid me for days...... But I guess there's no reason for you to avoid me, maybe I'm too careful......"
Lin Zhuyun suddenly felt a little unreasonable, although she had put her mind on Xu Luqing and Jiang Yu in the past few days, but she was indeed taking advantage of this to avoid Kuang Lone, she lowered her eyes and avoided Kuang Lone's eyes and said, "General Kuang, why don't we go to the sweet water shop on West Street to sit for a while?" Speak at the door of this Jasmine Building...... It's always not the same. ”
When Kuang Lin heard Lin Zhuyun invite him to sit down, he suddenly unconsciously smiled on his face, nodded heavily and said, "Okay!" ”
In a corner of the sweetwater shop, Kuang Lin and Lin Zhuyun sat opposite each other, Kuang Lin clenched his fists and bowed his head silently, but a drop of sweat flowed on his forehead to show his nervousness.
Maybe it was because of the hot weather, Lin Zhuyun looked at Kuang Lin today, and felt that he was stuffy in his heart, and his refusal to take the initiative to speak made her bored.
She scooped a spoonful of the cold sugar water in front of her and drank it, feeling that the hot anger in her heart was suppressed for a few minutes before she spoke: "General Kuang, you specially came to Moxianglou to block me today, but you have something to say?" ”
Kuang Xiao opened his mouth slightly, but closed his mouth again and shook his head.
Lin Zhuyun felt that the boredom that she had just suppressed had been provoked again, and she drank a large mouthful of cold sugar water, and she didn't speak, she wanted to see how long Kuang Lin could sit with her here.
didn't expect that when Lin Zhuyun's sugar water bowl bottomed out, Kuang Lin hadn't spoken yet, but raised his wet black eyes from time to time to sneak a glance at Lin Zhuyun.
In the end, Lin Zhuyun opened his mouth: "General Kuang, then do you know when I started avoiding you?" ”
Kuang Xiao lowered his eyes and pondered for a moment and said, "It was the day Lin San's family was exiled. ”
Lin Zhuyun nodded lightly: "Yes, King Xiang secretly told me some inside information before leaving Lingcheng that day......"
"Do you mean that the crimes of Lin San and Xia Lian were confirmed by me to the Holy Lord?"
"You are honest now, then I don't think you don't know that my third brother and sister-in-law are incapable of colluding with the Shan State, they are just the scapegoats of Yuhefang, and they may also be the scapegoats of someone in the shadows."
Kuang Lin looked at Lin Zhuyun's face showing maturity and wisdom that did not match her age, and his eyes were also full of determination and tenacity, at this moment he suddenly felt that he wanted to hurt her very much, let her not work so hard, just be the most favored and stubborn daughter of the Lin family.
He tilted his head and said, "I know that they are just scapegoats, and I also know that they are members of the Lin family and your relatives, but ...... But ......"
Lin Zhuyun was waiting for his reason, but Kuang Lin pursed his lips tightly and didn't want to speak again.
After another long silence, Lin Zhuyun finally asked, "General Kuang is still unwilling to tell me your reasons?" ”
Kuang Lin still pursed his lips tightly, his hands clenched into fists on the table, unwilling to speak.
Seeing this, Lin Zhuyun had no choice but to leave a sentence, "Then we have nothing to talk about today." He got up and walked away.
Seeing Lin Zhuyun come out of the sweet water shop, the iron head who had been silently following Kuang Xiao finally couldn't help but ask: "General, I didn't say a word from you just now, I really suffocated me!" Why didn't you tell Miss Lin that she was attacked that time because Lin San and Xia Lian bribed the bandits to try to tarnish her innocence? You have confirmed their sins to the Holy Lord, but you just want them to stay away from Miss Lin. You refuse to say this, Miss Lin not only doesn't know your good intentions, but also complains in her heart that you hurt their Lin family, aren't you asking for hardship like this! ”
Kuang Lonely looked at Lin Zhuyun, who had walked away, and said to Tietou: "But if I say it, her last memory of her third brother will be that he bought and murdered her, knowing that the third brother who loved her so much in the past is now cruel to her like this, she will definitely be like being heartbroken, how can I be reluctant?" ”
When Tietou heard Kuang Xiao say this, he just kept shaking his head: "Rao is a hero, and he can't escape the word 'love'." ”
Lin Zhuyun returned to the Lin Mansion in a huff, and the whole person collapsed on her mahogany carved bed and was secretly angry. Xiao Tang stood next to him and held a jade fan to fan Lin Zhuyun, and said while fanning the wind: "Miss, why are you so angry about General Kuang's crime of sitting on the third master's family?" You obviously know how the Third Master's family harmed you before, didn't you fight back many times yourself? ”
Lin Zhuyun looked at the window curtain and replied: "I'm not angry that he has confirmed the crimes of the third brother's family, but angry that he refuses to tell me the facts and reasons, and wants to stop me like an iron wall, thinking that I just want to be an ignorant little woman." ”
Xiaotang was puzzled: "What's wrong with this?" ”
Lin Zhuyun propped up half of his body and said: "I used to be ignorant, thinking that I couldn't know everything, and I couldn't think too much, otherwise it would only increase my troubles. In the end, I found that if this is the case, I will only put myself in a passive situation, be restrained and manipulated by others, not to mention protecting my father and mother, and I can't even protect myself! ”
Xiaotang nodded as if he didn't understand.
Lin Zhuyun's anger, which had been accumulated for almost a month, broke through today, and she simply began to say like a bamboo tube pouring beans: "And he is still here to accept the lottery!" I thought that if I married him in the future, he would be a stuffy gourd like now, and he wouldn't tell me anything, and I would be treated as a thing by him at home like a jade carving. ”
These Xiaotang understood, she held her pink fist and said indignantly: "Miss is right! Stuffy gourd man wants it! ”
Lin Zhuyun, who had said a lot of things and gained support, felt that his anger had dissipated at the moment, and when he remembered the gossip in the house, he asked with a fluttering eyebrow: "Have you recently observed any progress between Sister Luqing and Cousin Song?" ”
