Chapter 168: The Storm in the Palace (36)

The sky broke through the clouds, and the wind and snow gradually decreased. The mountains and rivers are bathed in snow, the heaven and the earth are still clothed in silver clothes, the clouds and snow are shining with the same light, dazzling and cold.

A branch of Qiongcalyx quietly climbed over the palace wall, blooming in the frost, reflecting the beautiful red wall, showing the ice posture and jade, which is very good-looking.

When Lin Wanwan woke up, it was close to noon. The wound on her back, after Shi Manzi's careful treatment, was no longer as painful as before under the effect of the medicine, but let her sleep comfortably.

She lay on her side on the bed, looking up at Shi Manzi who was napping on the side, feeling both grateful and guilty.

When she was in a predicament, if it weren't for Shi Manzi bribing the eunuch in charge, her back would have already become a blur of flesh and blood, not to mention the medicine, and it was fortunate that she was not poured with a basin of cold water or sprinkled with a layer of fine salt. If it weren't for Shi Manzi defending her and Su Jin in front of the Queen Mother, she probably wouldn't be able to lie on the bed safely at this time.

Now she is safe, but Shi Manzi has lost her original advantage in front of the Queen Mother.

When Shi Manzi drugged herself before, she had told herself about the conversation between her and the Queen Mother, and Shi Manzi's words did loosen the Queen Mother's attitude, but after that, the Queen Mother's opinion of Shi Manzi may also change.

originally thought that Shi Manzi was a very easy to control silk plant, but in a blink of an eye, it turned into a clump of flexible and wearable pampas reeds, but I am afraid that the Queen Mother may not like Shi Manzi as much as before, and she will have more or less concerns in her heart now. After all, what the Queen Mother wants is a daughter-in-law who can obey her, not a woman who will argue with herself for the sake of others.

A faint sadness gently rippled out from the bottom of Lin Wanwan's lonely eyes.

Even though she knew that entering the palace this time was already full of dangers, she still believed that she could turn the danger into a disaster and would not implicate others.

She once asked Su Jin, why did she have a deep friendship with Luo Huaizhou, and at the same time try her best to plot to ruin his country? Why do you want to hurt while thinking about how to make up for it? Obviously, he was calculating Luo Huaizhou, but he wanted to protect him.

But now, isn't she the same for Luo Huaizhou and Shi Manzi? She never wanted to hurt them, but she did.

is not an insider, how can you personally experience the helplessness and struggle in the game. On the one hand, there is the Tao, on the other hand, how to choose, how to decide, only when you are truly in it, can you know how difficult every step you take.

Looking back now, Su Jin at that time not only had to struggle in the whirlpool of morality, but also had to endure her cynicism...... How lonely and sad should he be in his heart at that time? She claimed to understand him, but she never really thought from his shoes.

Even though he was flashy and bustling, no one could understand him, he seemed to walk alone in the world, silently and calmly, swallowing all the bitterness and bitterness into his mouthpiece, like a light breeze and drizzle, passing the world lightly, without disturbing others for half a minute.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan seemed to see the person sitting side by side by the lake with her on the moonlit night of the Mid-Autumn Festival.

The moonlight sprinkled on him, it looked clear and dazzling, but it didn't seem to shine into his dark heart, as if it was already a barren place, and no trace of hope could be bred even if the wind and rain blew, only a pair of vicissitudes of life and the loneliness of the moonset.

He said, "Then hate it." The world is impermanent, since we can't change the direction of our destiny, we must always try to widen the road under our feet, not just limited to that inch of the world. Perhaps, crossing the thorns in the road ahead, the mountains and rivers are long, and the future can be expected. ”

Lin Wanwan only felt a choke in her throat, and then an indescribable sour feeling surged into her heart, and the emotions circulating in the depths of her eyes were extremely turbulent, as if something was about to overflow.

Just as Lin Wanwan was immersed in the chaos of thoughts and couldn't extricate herself, suddenly, the door was pushed open, followed by an anxious shout.

"Little moon night, little moon night!"

Hearing a familiar voice, Shi Manzi suddenly woke up from his sleep, immediately opened his eyes, and turned his head to look at the visitor.

I saw Luo Huaizhou standing under the door, the suave young man in the past, at this time his hair was messy, his face was haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, his brocade robe had long been torn, and his body was covered with dust and dirt, looking extremely embarrassed.

Shi Manzi looked at Luo Huaizhou in a daze, a pair of gentle eyes seemed to shine into the sky, and the ground lit up, and the sleepiness at the bottom of his eyes disappeared in an instant, leaving only surprise.

She quietly wiped the corners of her eyes, hurriedly greeted her, looked at Luo Huaizhou with a little worry, and asked, "Lord Wang, are you not injured?" ”

Luo Huaizhou looked at the concern in Shi Manzi's eyes, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he opened his arms and spun around in place, jokingly: "Look, master, I am blessed with a great life, how can I be injured?" ”

Seeing that he had regained his vigor as before, Shi Manzi finally breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but smile with his lips, and joy flew up his eyebrows.

"And I still have the heart to laugh, it seems that those bandits didn't embarrass you much." While Luo Huaizhou and Shi Manzi were talking, Lin Wanwan had already restrained her emotions, stood up from the bed, and looked at the two people under the door with a light smile.

"Xiao Yuewan, are you okay?" When Luo Huaizhou heard the sound, he hurriedly put away his hippie smile, walked into the room quickly, pulled Lin Wanwan to look up and down, frowned and asked, "I heard that the queen mother punished you, is there a big problem?" ”

Lin Wanwan unceremoniously slapped away his dirt-stained hand, turned around in place according to the gourd painting, raised her eyebrows and said, "This girl is blessed with a great life, what can happen?" ”

After that, Lin Wanwan grabbed Shi Manzi's arm, squeezed her eyebrows at her, and said, "Besides, isn't there still Manzi, those palace people are just for show, you can rest assured." ”

Shi Manzi immediately understood, knowing that Yuewan didn't want to inform Prince Lu of her injury, so as not to make him feel guilty and blame himself, she looked at Lin Wanwan, and then at Luo Huaizhou, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded and said, "Lord Wang, please rest assured, Yuewan is fine." ”

Seeing that Shi Manzi's eyes flickered a little, Luo Huaizhou had a trace of suspicion in his heart, and was about to ask, but was diverted by Lin Wanwan: "By the way, how did you come back?" Who saved you? Have you seen Su ...... Boss Su? ”

When Luo Huaizhou heard this, his expression froze, and he hurriedly avoided Lin Wanwan's inquiring gaze, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes, faintly revealing a hint of self-blame.

Lin Wanwan saw that Luo Huaizhou's expression was different, and her heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition spread out instantly. She stared at Luo Huaizhou for a moment, her eyes seemed calm, but the depths of her eyes were turbulent, a pair of hands as white as jade, stubbornly tugging at the clothes on her body, as if she was using her strength to relieve the uneasiness in her heart, and a thin layer of sweat gradually appeared in her palms.

After a while, I saw her lips move with difficulty, and asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

"Jingqian...... It was Jing Qian who rescued me......" Luo Huaizhou lowered his eyes, his eyebrows were full of melancholy, and he blamed himself, "It's all my fault, if it weren't for me, Jing Qian wouldn't have risked breaking into the cottage, let alone being seriously injured......"
