Chapter Eighty-Seven: Drinking to Quench Your Thirst
Lin Yu said in a low voice: "I have something to tell you alone." ”
Li Ying was originally aggrieved and uncomfortable in her heart, but when she whispered in her ear, she was stunned.
He looked at Shu Yin, if he was the only one, Lin Yu could directly order him and let him go out and wait, but the nurse was also there.
Lin Yu had already tested Li Ying's bottom line before, knowing that the nurse could not simply be regarded as Li Ying's servant, and it was not good for her to give orders.
Therefore, she handed over the right to order to Li Ying.
This concession represents respect.
Of course, if the angle is different, it can also be seen as cringe.
Li Ying naturally didn't think that Lin Yu was cowering, he felt that his feelings were valued by her, so his expression became more and more gentle, and the original resentment dissipated a lot.
"Nurse, let Shu Yin wait outside for a while."
"Yes."
After the two of them left, Lin Yu said, "Do you remember what I told you before, there was news from the palace that King Beirong wanted to marry me by name?" ”
Li Ying said: "Naturally remember." ”
His expression tightened: "I've been dizzy for the past few days, and I just woke up, and I haven't had time to know the latest news - is it that the envoy of Beirong has arrived?" ”
"The envoy of Beirong has not arrived yet," Lin Yu sighed softly: "But the king of Beirong has already arrived." ”
"King Beijung?"
"Beirong Wang Cangtao...... He sneaked into my yard last night, and when Shu Yin came to assassinate me, he happened to bump into him. If he hadn't been there, maybe I'd be dead by now. She glanced at Li Ying meaningfully: "Died at your hands again." ”
Li Ying grabbed her with one hand. "I won't let you die......!"
He said angrily: "That King Beirong is so bold! ”
"My yard is like a sieve," Lin Yu sighed, "Anyone can come and go whenever they want." ”
Li Ying's face tensed.
Lin Yu lowered her voice sadly, and for a moment, she felt like she was bewitching the demon concubine of the faint monarch: "So I want a guard, if the king of Beirong comes again, he can help me drive him away, otherwise I and Chunhua, the two women, he is tough and refuses to leave, how can we resist?" ”
"Don't kill Yin," Li Ying said firmly: "I'll go with you, I'll protect you." ”
Lin Yu: "? ”
"I'm recovering from my injuries now, and I don't have to see anyone. Even if someone comes, I'll find a stand-in to temporarily act on my behalf. ”
"'Tang Chun' escaped at the hands of the prince, and he will definitely continue to pursue it. If he comes to interrogate him personally, will your stand-in be able to hide it from him? ”
If an ordinary official comes to the door, Li Ying's stand-in will most likely be able to fool the past, but Zhu Rongzhan has seen Li Ying, he is not the kind of person who is easy to fool, and he will not be afraid of the identity of the eldest son of the Li family, and it may be difficult for an ordinary stand-in to hold up in front of him.
In case Zhu Rongzhan came and saw through the stand-in, Li Ying would not have cleared the suspicion, and it would be even more troublesome.
She originally hoped that Zhu Rongzhan would solve the case as soon as possible, but now that the "Tang Chun" was in her hands, she didn't want Zhu Rongzhan to solve the case.
It's a sharp knife.
If he didn't catch it for a day, he could unsheath it at any time and clear the obstacles for Lin Yu.
Li Ying let "Tang Chun" escape and hide, and the fight was probably the same idea.
This is equivalent to hiding a weapon for yourself that you can kill whoever you want.
Lin Yu couldn't help but think about it, Li Ying so simply agreed to give her everything...... Is it possible that he knows in his heart that even if he is willing to pay, she may not be able to stand it?
He is now being tracked down by Zhu Rongzhan, and now she says "I want everything from you", Li Ying handed it over, and Lin Yu became his accomplice.
If he is caught by Zhu Rongzhan, Li Ying's power will be wiped out, and the power that Lin Yu can get will also dissipate, and she will definitely try to help Li Ying to avoid Zhu Rongzhan's inspection.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu said to Li Ying: "Do you want 'Tang Chun' to kill anyone recently?" Be calm, don't make trouble for Zhu Rongzhan. ”
If there is no incident for a long time, the nobles above the court will gradually rest assured and no longer be so frightened, and the blame for Zhu Rongzhan will be eased.
Otherwise, as soon as Tang Chun escaped, if there were even dead people in Beijing, Zhu Rongzhan, who did not catch Tang Chun, would inevitably suffer a stormy impeachment.
What can she do for Zhu Rongzhan...... That's all there is to it.
What made her feel even more ironic was that if she didn't want everything from Li Ying, she wouldn't even be able to do that.
Li Ying said obediently: "Okay." ”
Lin Yu thought to himself, he said okay, did he really obey her wishes, or did he not plan to activate "Tang Chun" so soon, so he just pushed the boat down the river and sold her personal favor? And it seems like she's important?
She had realized that she was thinking more and more badly of people. This is not a good thing. But...... If she didn't think about it a little more, what if she was used and betrayed again?
Lin Yu's annoyed head fell on Li Ying's shoulder.
Li Ying said cautiously: "Ayu......?" ”
"I have a headache...... "I wonder how your brain grows?" she muttered. How can you think so much and so far away about those layout plans? ”
Won't you get tired of scheming all day long?
People are unpredictable.
The more suspicious and inquisitive he became, the more Lin Yu felt that things were uncertain.
Does Li Ying really like her?
Is he really lacking love?
Does he really want her?
Or could it be his disguise?
Because he knew that Zhu Rongzhan had affection for her, he wanted to use her to deal with Zhu Rongzhan?
Just like in the second life?
Damn, a scheming person like Li Ying shouldn't have albinism, he should lose his hair and be bald!!
Lin Yu raised his head and frowned and asked him, "Have you ever thought about hiding that dream?" If I didn't know anything, our relationship would have been less tortuous, and if I had married you without knowing anything, I would have thought that what I wanted would be fulfilled, and not as ...... as I am now."
Suspicious and sensitive, like having victim paranoia.
"I've thought about it." Li Ying said in a low voice: "I'm afraid that you will hate me and ignore me again." ”
"Then why did you say it anyway?"
Lin Yu thought to herself, because you are confident, you think I won't leave?
"Because of the words that are hidden...... I'm not honest with you. How can a person who is insincere be worthy of sincerity? ”
Lin Yu looked at him incredulously.
Li Ying's expression was very serious, obviously from the bottom of her heart.
Insincerity.
She remembered that when they first met, he had told her that she was insincere because she had concealed her name and would not reveal her origin.
At that time, she thought that he spoke amazingly, and would always come up with an answer that she had never thought of, and did not follow her train of thought at all.
Insincere, did he think this was martial arts?
But at that time, she only thought it was funny, but now she can't help but think about it a lot - Li Ying, is there some emotional cleanliness?
He has never received a normal, abundant love, so he sanctifies it to immense purity, leaving no blemish in it.
But how can there be such a flawless thing in this world?
What if there is a gap between reality and his imagination?
A person who lacks love can use love as bait to put a noose around his neck, but if he still has an emotional cleanliness habit, once he thinks that this love is flawed, he may be able to quickly turn his face and show no mercy.
Insincerity......
What counts as insincerity?
Does concealing her and Cangtao's past life count?
Does concealing his previous information about "Ah Ci" count?
It's terrible, Lin Yu thought, obviously Li Ying wanted her to be willing to die, but now she was thinking about how not to lose him.
Everything about him......
It was like his bait, trying to put a noose around her neck.
Looking at Li Ying, for some reason, a new understanding of this transaction suddenly appeared in Lin Yu's heart:
Drink poison to quench thirst.
