Chapter 171: The Storm in the Palace (39)
"Yuewan, are you alright?" Seeing that Lin Wanwan was silent for a long time, and suddenly closed her eyes with a sad expression, Shi Manzi's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but ask with concern.
Lin Wanwan's eyebrows trembled slightly, as if there was an unspeakable bitterness hidden in it, surging and stirring in a corner like an undertide.
Xu was afraid that Shi Manzi would be worried, and maybe she was afraid that she would see some clues, Lin Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, and then tried her best to restrain the waves in her voice, shook her head and said: "I'm fine, I just remembered some old things, and I felt some emotion in my heart." ”
While speaking, Lin Wanwan still stood with her eyes closed, as if she was immersed in some kind of emotion, and it was difficult to calm down.
Now, when she pieced together all the fragmentary clues in her memory, she vaguely realized one thing - it seemed that Su Jin would cause old illnesses when her emotions fluctuated greatly.
Yesterday, before she left Zhuangzi, she had a dispute with Su Jin on the island in the middle of the lake, when she resented him because of Jiang Huailang's incident, and then driven by paranoia, she said many things against her will.
She still clearly remembered that the expression in Su Jin's eyes at that time was unpredictable, appearing complex and subtle, from burning to disappointed, then from disappointed to sad, and finally to silence.
No wonder after she spit out those hurtful words, Su Jin would suddenly turn her back to herself, it turned out that at that time, he had already had signs of an old illness, but he had been trying his best to hold back, unwilling to let himself find out that he was sick, and the cold words he said later were just trying to force himself away.
At that time, how sad and painful should he have been in his heart......
Thinking of this, a strong and irrepressible sour feeling rose from Lin Wanwan's heart, stirring and churning in her chest, gradually moistening her eyes.
She finally understood why Ziyu was so emotional last night that she almost lost her words, and the words she wanted to say but didn't dare to say should refer to the recurrence of Su Jin's old illness. And when Su Jin went to rescue Luo Huaizhou today, I am afraid that he still had not suppressed the old disease, otherwise with his skills, how could he be injured by the mountain bandits so easily.
However, it was not Luo Huaizhou who forced Su Jin to go to save people with her sick body, but her.
A tear slipped silently from the corner of Lin Wanwan's eyes, and immediately condensed into beads, shining under the light and shadow, like a crystal clear dewdrop, hot across her slightly cool skin.
If it was just to rescue Luo Huaizhou and protect Luo Huaizhou from harm, Su Jin could completely let Zishu and Ziheng and them take the people of Tianshu Pavilion to pretend to be heroes of the rivers and lakes, and to clear the cottage in the name of eliminating harm for the people.
But Su Jin didn't choose to do so.
He chose to cover up his identity, only brought a few people from Tianshu Pavilion, and personally took the risk to break into the cottage with the guards on Luo Huaizhou's mansion, and all this was because he was in the palace.
Su Jin is so good at perceiving people's hearts, she must be able to calculate that the Queen Mother will detain the crime of kidnapping Luo Huaizhou on herself and him, if she does not rescue Luo Huaizhou in person, it may be difficult to dispel the suspicion of the Queen Mother, and she will not be able to prove his innocence with herself, and the Queen Mother is in a hurry, and it is very likely that she will be beaten into a trick.
From the time the Queen Mother summoned her into the palace, Su Jin had already seen that the Queen Mother had bad intentions, but before he knew it, she entered the palace regardless of it. With the situation irreversible, he had no choice but to let Ziyu sneak into the palace to find her, not only to send things, but also to ensure that she was safe, and at the same time to tell himself that no matter what she was going to do, he trusted her and let her do it without any worries.
On this road, even if she knew that there were dangers, even if there would be some uncontrollable variables, Su Jin still chose to accompany her, just like when she first came to Nanling, no matter how reckless he was, he was guarding her in his own way and silently accompanying her......
Lin Wanwan remembered that clear and moonlit night many years ago, he buried his head in her neck, and said word by word: "Lin Wanwan, no matter what you want to do in the future, as long as it is related to your own safety, you must tell me in time, don't put yourself in danger alone, and don't wronged yourself, I won't stop you, but you must tell me." Remember, no matter what you do, I will stand behind you, and I will be your retreat anytime and anywhere. ”
Before entering the palace, she was ashamed to want to clear up with him, but how could she clear up with him? I'm afraid she owes him a long time ago......
Lin Wanwan swallowed desperately and was full of sourness, but her heart seemed to be tightly grabbed and torn fiercely. The feeling was indescribable, and it was impossible to vent, as if every bone, every inch of skin, and every drop of blood in her body was slowly crushed by the huge stone wheel, making her feel unbearable pain.
She had thought that she could pretend to be ignorant and that she could choose to turn a blind eye so that she would not be happy and would not be disappointed. Let the world pass by, and there will be no worries and fears.
But she was wrong.
Some people, once met, no matter how time passes, they will occupy the top position of their hearts and share the ups and downs with the years. From then on, whether it is morning and twilight, friend or foe, hate and love, the outline traced by his fingertips will be his appearance.
Pear blossom wisps of dreams, thousands of clouds pour; Time knows the taste, and the years are agarwood.
Even if some memories are crushed into dust in the long river of time, they will eventually be carefully picked up, and they will be used as a dish for longing, warm and fragrant, and describe the love with the years.
The self-proclaimed unbreakable realm, suddenly, like waking up from a big dream.
With a "snap", the heartstrings in the depths of the memory were suddenly broken, and Lin Wanwan suddenly felt that something broke through one shackle after another, broke out from the bottom of his heart, and in a blink of an eye, it had grown into a towering tree, and no longer flinched even if it was destroyed by wind and rain.
Suddenly, the surging tide in Lin Wanwan's heart finally calmed down, and when she opened her eyes again, the undercurrent under her eyes faded, and it was already clear.
Shi Manzi saw her friends, one seriously injured, one depressed, and the other silent, and she couldn't do anything except accompany her silently, and she couldn't even say a word of comfort, and a deep sense of helplessness occupied her heart.
She pondered for a long time, and was about to say something, but saw Lin Wanwan open her eyes suddenly, and then gently clasped the desk next to Luo Huaizhou with her index finger, and asked a little anxiously, "He, where is he?" ”
Luo Huaizhou raised his head slowly, his eyes seemed to have just groped back from a distant place, and he was a little stunned, and it took a while to react to what Lin Wanwan was asking.
Immediately, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and he slapped his forehead hard in annoyance and regret, a look of anxiety appeared on his face, and he hurriedly said: "Xiaoyue is about to leave the palace in the evening, Jing Qian is still waiting for you outside the palace gate!" ”
As he spoke, Luo Huaizhou had already taken out a token from his waist and stuffed it into Lin Wanwan's hand, "You put away this waist card, with it, no one in this palace will dare to stop you, hurry up!" ”
Lin Wanwan bowed slightly, then patted Luo Huaizhou's shoulder, and said what he wanted to say but didn't say before: "Huaizhou, this matter has nothing to do with you, you don't have to blame yourself for it." Everything in the world is full of endless variables, and everyone has their own choices and responsibilities, not because of a certain person or something that can be changed. ”
After that, in Luo Huaizhou's slightly confused gaze, Lin Wanwan threw a sincere thank you to Shi Manzi: "Don't say more, thank you for today's events!" ”
Seeing that Lin Wanwan and Luo Huaizhou had recovered their spirits, the sorrow in Shi Manzi's heart also disappeared. A soft smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and she nodded at Lin Wanwan and said, "There is no need to say much between friends, hurry up, don't let Su Gongzi wait for a long time." ”
After Lin Wanwan said goodbye to the two, she rushed out like a wind, and soon disappeared from the sight of the two.
"The Nanling Palace dungeon has ended, what's the next dungeon to open?
(During the National Day, it will not be updated for the time being, and it will be discussed after the holiday~)."
