An Lan only knew the approximate, but he didn't know the specific number, and he didn't know why Lin Qingluan suddenly asked this.

Lin Qingluan looked at the rain curtain, the coldness in her eyes, and she slowly spoke: "Up and down the Lin Mansion, there are a total of thirty-six people. ”

Of course, this is ten years later.

Ten years later, Shangguan Yan made a holy decree, from the two sons of the Lin family to the youngest grandson of the servants in the Lin Mansion, thirty-six people made a decision together, and the entire Lin Mansion was no longer alive.

There was only blood left on the ground.

"Is the master homesick?" An Lan saw the tears dripping from Lin Qingluan's jaw, and was shocked to realize that she was crying.

She hurriedly took her sleeve to wipe Lin Qingluan's face: "Or are you having a nightmare?" Master? ”

"I want to go back." Lin Qingluan tried her best to stabilize her voice, but her trembling voice still revealed her mood.

She wants to go back to the Lin Mansion and only be the maid of the gate, not the concubine who favors the sixth palace.

She wants to leave the imperial city, marry whoever she wants, just be an ordinary lady, give birth to a few lovely children, and listen to a "mother" that is impossible to hear in two lifetimes.

It may just be a person's most ordinary wish, but from the moment Shangguan Yan arrived at the Lin Mansion with the intention of marriage, none of this was possible.

She has never had the luxury of supreme power, once she only wanted a sincerity and affection, but unfortunately she lost a lot.

Now, she doesn't want anything anymore, she just wants to live, and she just wants the 36 members of the Lin family to live.

Sometimes she hates it, she almost wants to pick up scissors and insert them directly into Shangguan Yan's heart, she hates him for being ruthless and unjust, and she wants to take it by force, and pretends to be affectionate to deceive her life.

But she couldn't.

A felony like killing a monarch is not something she can resist alone, and the Lin Mansion will be covered with blood again because of her impulse.

She couldn't.

Everything can only be done slowly, only slowly.

But she hates it so much, really hates it......

Lin Qingluan wanted to hold back her tears, but her tears fell more fiercely than the rain. She could only cover her eyes with one hand, not wanting to be seen in such embarrassment.

"Master......" An Lan hurriedly circled around her, but she didn't know what to do, and finally stomped her feet, "The slave maid went to invite the emperor over!" ”

"Don't!" Lin Qingluan grabbed An Lan, she was really afraid that when she saw Shangguan Yan, she would really be unable to control and kill him.

The hand she covered her eyes hung down weakly, and she smiled lightly for a while: "You go get some wine." She looked at the sky outside again, "Drinking on a rainy day is also a good match." ”

The wine was taken, but Lin Qingluan didn't drink it happily.

An Lan is not very smart, but she is very loyal, and she could bear to turn a blind eye at first, but when she saw Lin Qingluan drink half a pot, she began to think about it in pieces, and she had to let Lin Qingluan drink less.

Lin Qingluan was so annoyed that he drove An Lan out and let her go to sleep outside, so that she could have a moment of peace.

"Wine is such a good thing." Lin Qingluan drank until he was half drunk, and the drizzle outside was foggy, but the sky was still dark.

How much like her future, she wants to take revenge, but she doesn't know how to do it, and even now she is still doing what she doesn't want to do, stumbling day by day, as if she can't find a way out, and there is only darkness in front of her.

She could only rely on her own little and small strength, trying her best to compete with the imperial power, in a vain attempt to save the lives of dozens of people in her Lin Mansion.

"What if it's like the Marquis of Annan's mansion......" Lin Qingluan said to himself, if it was like the Marquis of Annan, hand over the military power, the emperor might let them go?

No, at the beginning of the tenth year of Zunye in the previous life, his brother defeated Northern Xinjiang, and then returned to Beijing by order to hand over the tiger talisman.

Unlike the old and weak Marquis of Annan, who has no successor, Shangguan Yan can't tolerate the Lin family, which is still going uphill.

It's so hard.

Lin Qingluan directly took the wine jug and poured it into her mouth, but before the wine entered her throat, she was suddenly grabbed by a slightly cool hand on her forearm.

Before she could scream, a laughing voice came into her ears: "Don't be afraid, it's me." ”

"Zhou ...... Zhou Chudu? Lin Qingluan looked at the man who suddenly appeared in front of her window in a daze, paused for a moment, and frowned slightly, "How much did I drink?" ”

Zhou Chuwan was amused by her, and flew into the house with the windowsill, he didn't know where he came from, he was covered in foggy humidity, and he stood still and unceremoniously grabbed Lin Qingluan's wine jug.

Before Lin Qingluan could react, he easily took away the wine, Zhou Chuwan also took a sip, and then looked at Lin Qingluan helplessly: "So strong, borrow wine to kill your sorrows?" ”

Lin Qingluan still frowned.

Zhou Chuwan continued to guess: "Is it because of the emperor?" ”

"What's the matter with you?" Lin Qingluan didn't know how he came here, she was upset in her heart, and she didn't want to deal with anyone, "This is the dormitory of this palace, get out." ”

Zhou Chuwan raised his eyebrows slightly, but instead of leaving, he approached her and put the coat she had taken off on her again.

He stood behind her like that, bent down slightly, his thin lips almost close to her ear, and only whispered: "The minister thinks that he is also destined for his mother." ”

"Get out." Lin Qingluan crossed his eyebrows and said coldly.

"Wasn't Niangniang still calling the minister just now?" Zhou Chu's eyes were puzzled, "Niangniang still knows the people from the Hou Mansion of Annan next to her?" ”

Lin Qingluan was stunned for a moment, remembering the sentence he had just muttered, and then he became more and more flustered.

She didn't hesitate to pick up the wine glass on the table, and when she raised it, she was about to smash it at Zhou Chudui: "You dare to follow and eavesdrop on this palace?" ”

“…… The minister just happened to be passing by, and overheard it, thinking that the mother was thinking about the minister. Zhou Chuwan grabbed her wrist again, helpless, he took the wine glass and put it down, and took her hand into his hand little by little, explaining carefully.

"The minister is now walking in front of the emperor, and it is also the emperor's personal guard, tonight is the minister and another brother on duty, just changed shifts, passing by here vaguely saw the window open, afraid of rain and moisture, Niangniang caught a cold again, so I went around and wanted to help Niangniang close the window......"

He helped Lin Qingluan pull her coat again and wrapped her up: "Who knew that when I came over, I heard Niangniang talking about the Marquis of Annan's mansion, and the minister thought that Niangniang was also thinking about the minister." ”

Lin Qingluan looked at him drunkenly, and after a while, he smiled "fluttering": "Forget it, you are the best at deceiving people." ”

Zhou Chudu: ?

He felt wronged: "When did the minister deceive his mother?" ”

"Mm-hmm, no, you're the best." Lin Qingluan broke away from his hand and waved it casually, but there was a stumbling under his feet, and he was about to fall down, Zhou Chuwan hurriedly tightened his arms around her, and then simply picked the person up, and walked over to settle down on the bed.

Lin Qingluan looked up at him blankly, and after a while, he smiled again: "Weak? Can't pull the bow? Can't sit still on horseback? ”

"Ah, yes." Zhou Chuwan also smiled, "Only when you are facing Niangniang can you have strength." ”

"Hmph," Lin Qingluan took advantage of the strength of the wine and lay comfortably on the bed, but her slender jade fingers lit Zhou Chudu's pale red lips one by one, "Little liar." ”

Zhou Chuwan grabbed her messy fingers, and the darkness in her eyes gradually deepened.

He slowly bent down and wrapped the concubine on the bed, with the kind of careless smile on his face, but there was something more in his eyes.

He curled the corners of his lips slightly, and said softly: "Then Niangniang might as well try?" ”
