The candlelight on the table is the same as the candlelight that night, but what is flickering is not a room of ambiguity, but a room of mutual affection and infatuation.
The window was kept wide open, and neither of them rested that night. They waited for the dawn with their eyes open, enjoying the feeling of the dark night outside the window getting brighter little by little.
Lying in his arms, Gardenia seemed to think of something, and asked, "Where is Eunuch Zhang next to you?"
Ling Jiyun said: "I asked him to return to his hometown early."
Gardenia lowered her eyes thoughtfully, but did not see the strange flash in Ling Jiyun's eyes.
Last night, Eunuch Zhang was caught as he was about to abscond. During the interrogation, he found out that Ling Jihua had promised him endless glory and wealth after he accomplished his mission. Only then did he loyally stay with him as a spy and keep him by his side.
Tell him everything secretly so that the initiative can be transferred to Ling Jihua's hands.
It's been raining for two consecutive days and it's getting colder and colder.
It was sunny today. Luoxi, who was bored in Yaxu Palace, couldn't wait to go to the imperial garden to play. Gardenia asked Luo Xun, Luo Xun opened the book and shook his head without raising his head. Gardenia looked
Looking at him, both children were born to him and were taught by his master, so why are there such big contrasts in personality? If it is hereditary, Luoxi's temperament is not much like his own.
After leaving Yaxu Palace, Luoxi pulled Gardenia and ran quickly.
"Xi'er, slow down, be careful of falling." Gardenia instructed with a smile.
"Mom, hurry up, I haven't seen Xiaobai for several days." Xiaobai is the name Luoxi gave to a white koi.
He is really a child, as long as he cares about something, he will pay special attention to it.
When they were approaching Youyu Pavilion, they saw Feng Qing and Situ Ling discussing something there. Luoxi let go of Gardenia's hand and ran over: "Grandpa Situ, Uncle Feng."
The two of them looked in this direction together. Feng Qing, the senior brother who always hurt him in his memory, Situ Ling, the person who wanted to kill himself and his children after Ling Jiyun left. Now that they meet, what can he do?
Do you let the past go with the wind?
Speaking of Situ Ling, it seems that he has been rarely seen since he entered the palace. Even if he did see him, he would avoid her. I couldn't figure out the reason at the time. Now that I see his intimate relationship with Luoxi, I think he must be feeling guilty.
That’s why.
"Zhi Niang, are you feeling better? I've been busy these days and haven't been able to spare time to see you. Don't blame me." Feng Qing looked at Gardenia and smiled softly. The smile still contained too much emotion.
There were many things that Gardenia couldn't understand before, but now she understands them.
Gardenia smiled softly and said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother. Gardenia is feeling much better now."
"Oh, then..." She was calling her senior brother. Feng Qing looked at Gardenia in surprise, didn't she hate herself? After a long time, she said: "Gardenia, don't you hate me?"
Gardenia smiled and said softly: "There was so much hatred, isn't it all fine now?"
Thinking of what he did back then, Feng Qing blamed himself and said, "You should blame me."
Gardenia turned sideways and took two steps, and said with a faint smile: "When will the grievances end?" Then she looked at the uncomfortable Situ Ling and said: "The past is in the past, Gardenia will not care about it.
"
Although Situ Ling was a little unhappy because of Lu Xinlan's incident, he had to admit that what Gardenia did was right. Instead of suffering all his life with a man who didn't love him, it was better to forget everything and start over.
He didn't kill her, so it was God's will that she appeared in front of him alive. What should I say? Now that she has given birth to a child and is back, with her intelligence, she must know the truth about her victimization, but she can
Not only did she not do anything to feel sorry for herself, but she also never mentioned the incident to Ling Jiyun. Situ Ling decided not to say anything about Gardenia.
"Grandpa, let me take you to see Xiaobai." Luoxi pulled the somewhat embarrassed Situ Ling and ran out of the pavilion.
Feng Qing retracted her gaze from following Luoxi, looked at Gardenia, and said seriously: "Gardenia, how could you let Concubine Lian be held hostage that day?"
What happened that day was still fresh in my memory, but Ling Jiyun kept silent because of her worries. Now that Feng Qing asked, she might as well tell him. "Before she killed me, I met another person.
"
"Is it Ling Jihua?" Feng Qing said, obviously he was not surprised.
Gardenia nodded and said, "Yes, he has changed and donated his limbs to get the bloodthirsty insects."
Feng Qing let out a long sigh, walked into the pavilion and said: "We have already found out this. It is just the information we got. It would be enough if we just sacrificed one of our eyes and arms for that cup worm, but how could he
Contributed both eyes and arms?”
Gardenia's heart tightened, and she recalled what she said that day: "He said that if I don't die, let me tell the emperor, and he will take back everything that belongs to him."
"He really said that?" Feng Qing frowned and looked nervous.
Gardenia nodded and said, "He must have exchanged his eyes or arms for another mysterious thing, but you guys never knew about it."
Feng Qing was silent, as if thinking, then Gardenia continued: "I think Master must be aware of it."
"Senior Medicine King?"
"When my master left, he told me that if anyone around me was poisoned or injured, I would let him live for a month and then immediately go back to the Lost Forest to look for him. I think he didn't explain the reason at that time. It must be because there were some things he hadn't seen before.
, I was not sure, so I hurried back to the Lost Forest to study it." I blame myself for being too worried when I saw the master, so I ignored such an important matter.
"Have you told the emperor about this?"
The corner of his lips raised a slight arc, and he said: "Do you think the emperor will not notice the things I can discover?"
"Haha——." Feng Qing chuckled: "I'm confused."
Suddenly seeing Gardenia's eyes lowered in sadness, Feng Qing asked worriedly: "Gardenia, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell? How about I take you back?"
Gardenia was silent for a while and said, "Brother, how did the Emperor deal with Concubine Lian?"
Feng Qing closed her eyes and sighed: "She is crazy."
"Crazy?" On the cliff, she did have some indiscretions, but she didn't expect...
"You don't have to blame yourself, she brought it all on herself."
Somewhat shocked that Feng Qing would say such a thing, Gardenia said: "Can you not blame yourself? If I hadn't appeared, she and the emperor would have been a happy couple."
"Zhi Niang, you can't say that. Without your appearance, she would have died long ago and would not be alive now. Moreover, the emperor has never loved her from beginning to end. His doting on her before you appeared was completely
Because of her guilt mentality, and the things she did to you are not worthy of your sympathy." Thinking of her hinting Yao Jin to assassinate Gardenia, thinking of her channeling Concubine Jing's maid Yu Xin to give Concubine Jing a love potion.
