Chapter 116 Where is the best place for me to sit?
It was another autumn rain at night.
Accompanied by bursts of thunder, the window panels were banged.
Lin Yunyan did not sleep soundly, tossing and turning, and woke up before dawn.
She dreamed of many things.
Although they are all fragments, they are things she has experienced before. Now that she thinks about it carefully, she can piece together a lot of them.
In the past, in the first few years after she got married to Xu Jian, Xu Jian would not sleep in the house every autumn rainy day.
The dampness and coldness of the autumn rain is particularly painful for the legs, and it goes deep into the bones.
During the day, Xu Jian's temperament would be patient, and she wouldn't say anything about it no matter how uncomfortable she felt.
But there is nothing you can do at night.
Reactions in sleep are not controlled by his will.
Humming in pain, or tossing and turning, will affect those sleeping next to you.
Lin Yunyan said "I don't care", but Xu Jian obviously didn't care.
In Xu Jian's words, it's not like there's no other room in the house where you can lie down if your leg isn't healed, so why bother making it difficult for both of you to sleep.
Lin Yunyan can't defeat him.
But she actually has trouble sleeping, she is afraid of the dark.
It's fine at other times, but when the rain and wind blow all night long, the fear of the dark becomes extremely strong.
Without a living person like Xu Jian beside her, she could only ask Wan Yue to light the oil lamp to get some light.
Rainy nights in those years were mostly like this.
Later, the Duke Fu's Mansion disappeared, and they wandered around, chasing various clues and avoiding various crises. Xu Jian never mentioned going to another house to lie down.
Most of the time, they just don’t have any other room to stay in.
Of course, Lin Yunyan was no longer afraid of the dark at that time.
Beside the couch in the palace, Wan Yue pricked up his ears to listen to the sound.
The princess must have woken up, but she never opened her mouth to call anyone. Wan Yue was not sure whether she was just being lazy and didn't want to remember.
But today it is a lot colder. When Wan Yue woke up earlier, she felt that the quilt was a little thin, and she was afraid that the princess would get cold due to it.
Fortunately, she didn't hesitate for long, and Lin Yunyan lifted the curtain herself.
Wan Yue hurriedly picked up the thick clothes she had prepared: "Put them on first, so you don't catch a cold."
Lin Yunyan followed the instructions and asked: "Is the Empress Dowager awake?"
It was dark today and it was difficult for her to judge the time.
Wan Yue replied: "When I just went out to fetch water, I saw that the lamps were already lit. If you are sleepy, you can rest for a while. It's still early. I guess it's not even down in the morning."
Lin Yunyan did not lie back down again, but stood up to freshen up and change clothes. After packing, she went to the main hall.
Maybe it's too cold, so Grandma Wang has already prepared a stove for the Empress Dowager.
The empress sat on the edge of the bed, her energy seemed to be better than the previous few days.
"If you are so careful, the Ai family will think that they are seventy or eighty years old," the Empress Dowager sighed. "Even if you can't resist for a while, your foundation is still very good."
Lin Yunyan smiled and said: "You have a good foundation, so you can't neglect this recuperation. Otherwise, wouldn't your previous decades have been in vain?"
"You've explained everything." The Empress Dowager nodded to Lin Yunyan with a kind smile.
Mr. Yu said: "The Holy One just sent someone to say hello. He said that the Holy One was coming over at noon and wanted to have lunch with you."
The Queen Mother frowned.
She is a sick old lady, why don't you come and eat porridge and drink two bowls of medicinal food with her?
It’s not right!
Besides, she has always loved to eat, so she might be greedy. Yun Yan has been eating in the west side hall these days, and will never be in front of her. Does the Holy Spirit want to come to her to eat delicious food?
Then I thought about it, the Holy Father is not that weak in his work. I am afraid that lunch is an excuse. I should discuss something important with her.
As she pondered this, the Empress Dowager's brows relaxed a little.
"The Aijia must cheer up," she said, "Don't let the Holy Spirit worry about the Aijia's health."
The other side.
In the Jinluan Palace, Eunuch Cao just shouted "Retreat from the court".
The Holy Master stood up from the dragon chair and walked out of the palace. When he passed by Xu Jian, he paused slightly, glanced at him, and continued walking without saying anything.
The meal was quick, and the courtiers all bowed their heads to greet the Holy One, almost without noticing.
Li Shao, who was standing at the front, turned around and saw this scene in his eyes.
After looking at the Holy Master's back and then at Xu Jian, Li Shao clicked his tongue lightly.
After the imperial chariot left, the atmosphere in the palace became more lively.
Li Shao walked up to Xu Jian and said with his hands behind his back: "Father, what do you want from you? I happened to ask for a meeting in the imperial study room yesterday, but you and father didn't finish talking?"
Xu Jian lowered his eyes, spoke calmly, and threw the question back: "How could His Highness think so?"
Li Shao was surprised and said: "Didn't my father look at you just now?"
"I didn't notice it," Xu Jian finished, and then added, "Thank you, Your Highness, for reminding me."
Li Shao:......
He just saw it and asked, but he didn't expect to eat two soft nails in a row, and he suddenly felt bored.
Turning around, he said as he walked: "Maybe I saw it wrong."
After Xu Jian sent Li Shao off respectfully, he was about to leave when he was stopped by Liu Jing.
Liu Jing's face was full of worry, and he lowered his voice and said: "Your Highness also has good intentions..."
Xu Jian did not answer the call.
Liu Jing was not surprised by his indifferent response. He continued: "Why did the Holy Master let you go to Shuntian Mansion before? The Zhu family's case involved too many things. Even though it seemed closed on the surface, I, the Holy Master, was still holding back something in his heart.
Awesome."
Xu Jian pursed her lips.
In fact, it was Mr. Shan who lacked a supporter, and he saw through this and made time to go.
The Holy One mentioned: Just go to Shuntian Mansion and sit down.
Of course, Xu Jian had no intention of telling Liu Jing more about this reason.
However, I still gave some responses more or less.
Xu Jian said: "The Holy One asked me to go, so I went naturally. Can I ask the Holy One why first?"
Liu Jing frowned.
The taste of soft nails is unpleasant, and Xu Jian smashed the nails.
Taking a deep breath and trying to look as friendly as possible, Liu Jing said: "I care about you too. Does the Lord have any other arrangements? You don't want to go to the Ministry of War to sit, so you have to find a place. You are always idle at a young age.
It’s not the same thing.”
The corner of Xu Jian's lips curled up slightly, and the mockery flashed past, and the rest was a patient inquiry: "In your opinion, where can I go and sit better?"
Liu Jing:......
This is not asking for advice, this is gunpowder.
"You kid..." Liu Jing took a deep breath.
This child was already a head taller than him, and Liu Jing even had to raise his head to talk to Xu Jian.
The more he thought about it, the less able he was to lose his temper. Liu Jing was about to blame him, but was interrupted by An Yibo.
The uncle with a dark and sullen face was full of anger and said to Liu Jing: "Master Liu, you are not as careful as a father as you are as a mother."
Liu Jing was stunned: "How can I say this?"
"Xu Jian has suffered a leg injury. I have been injured before and have some problems. I know that this kind of autumn rain is difficult to endure. I have to lie down and cover it with Mrs. Tang." An Yibo beat his old waist and said, "Stand
