Lin Yunyan walked in, and the night wind blew over her like someone was chasing her. It was damp and cool.
In just a moment, the heat in my palms disappeared.
Maybe it's because of the temperature difference, but it seems colder.
Lin Yunyan pursed her lips and looked at Xu Jian, who was coming a few steps behind.
She didn't need to look carefully. As soon as they met in the kitchen, she knew that Xu Jian had just changed into clothes.
Everyone, going in and out all day long, will leave some traces on their clothes.
It's not that there's any dust or oil stains on it, it's more of a wrinkle.
Xu Jian used to travel in a wheelchair. In addition to her lower back and lower body, her elbows and arms were also prone to wrinkles.
This is Lin Yunyan’s experience.
Of course, those experiences do not apply to Xu Jian now. Wheelchairs and normal walking are two completely different things.
However, the difference between a new top and one that has been worn for a day is so great that you can tell the difference without using old experience at all.
As long as the previous clothes were acceptable, Xu Jian would not change them.
Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan pursed her lips tighter.
Throughout the civil and military dynasties, who didn’t know that he had a leg injury? It is normal for people with old injuries to behave inappropriately in order to maintain their health.
Not to mention holding a hand stove in late spring, when the weather is bad, you have to hold it as well.
She knew clearly that Xu Jian was not afraid of crowds, he simply felt that it was inconvenient to hold such a thing in his hand when he was running around for inspections.
But he was still caught in the rain.
Xu Jian also walked in.
After Lin Yunyan sat down, he sat on the edge.
"The house has been taken care of, and there are indeed a lot of things going on today." Xu Jian put the stove on her lap, and the warm air penetrated under her clothes, and her skin also warmed up.
To be honest, it must be comfortable to be comfortable.
It drives away the coolness and relieves a lot of stiffness.
This feeling of comfort made his back relax a lot.
He simply leaned on the back of his chair and slowly counted with Lin Yunyan: "After coming out of the palace, we went to Shuntian Mansion without touching the ground. Later, it was said that the prince had returned to the East Palace, so Mr. Shan and I rushed over again and waited for questions.
After finishing him, we went back to Shuntian Mansion and walked around again, then went to Chenmi Hutong. The house was really well built and the scenery was very nice. Unfortunately, Commander Wan and I didn't get much, so before going down to the Yamen, we went back to Shuntian Mansion to meet Mr. Shan.
I said..."
Lin Yunyan raised her eyebrows and hummed: "Finally changed into clean clothes in Shuntian Mansion?"
Xu Jian laughed when he heard her criticism: "I did change it. I can't help it. I was soaked too much before. To be honest, I didn't feel well myself. I was sticky and cold, but it was too wet."
I’m too busy to take care of that.”
Lin Yunyan did not answer these words, but felt a sudden rush in her heart.
She heard "concession" and "sharing" from Xu Jian's tone.
This is rare.
It’s not that Xu Jian was so strong in the past, but he shouldered a lot.
Xu Jian and her will analyze the situation, judge advancement and retreat, and exchange various information without reservation in the most difficult times, in order to go further and get closer to the truth.
There is no way to go forward by relying on one person alone.
Lin Yunyan will naturally take on those things that should be borne by her.
They have no naive illusions, and they prepare for the worst in every move they make. Xu Jian will not give her unrealistic good expectations, and life and death are clearly analyzed.
But Lin Yunyan knows that Xu Jian has shouldered more.
Emotionally, Xu Jian put away all his uneasiness, hesitation and hesitation, leaving Lin Yunyan with calmness and determination.
But now, Xu Jian rarely shows some true emotions.
He was making a statement, his tone was calm, there was no sinister tone, and he didn't mean anything, but Lin Yunyan could hear some "pleasure" in it.
The fire was extinguished little by little, and there were still a few sparks, but they couldn't burn up.
Lin Yunyan sighed: "Every foot does not touch the ground, and only your leg is uncomfortable."
"It's not bad," Xu Jian said, paused, and added, "It's not that serious. It's different from the wound in your impression."
Lin Yunyan snorted lightly.
Of course it's different.
In the past, I was injured and had to sit in a wheelchair. Now I can't walk very fast, but I can still walk freely.
Except for rainy days and going up and down stairs, take your time.
"If you're worried, you can have your injuries examined," Xu Jian said.
Lin Yunyan raised her eyes and looked at him, her ears suddenly burning: "I'm not a doctor."
Xu Jian said: "I can treat half of the patients after a long illness, and you can do the same. You didn't bother too much in the past."
Lin Yunyan understands.
This is the arrogance of a person who is in the wrong, and he talks about him in various ways.
That’s all.
I’m soaked in the rain, what else can I do?
A real on-site injury examination is outrageous.
"Mrs. Xu," Lin Yunyan simply changed the subject, "Mrs. Xu looks fine on the surface. Although her spirit is not good, she is not depressed, but she is suffering in her heart."
Sometimes, being too sober is not a good thing.
At least that’s the case with Xu Miao.
She knew what Liu Xun had done and what he was likely to face. She also knew Xu Jian's difficulties and Liu Ping's worries.
The positions are different and the directions are different. If she wants to go to either side, she will harm the other side.
She couldn't turn left or right, she could only stand in the middle, looking around and burning herself, because she couldn't even reveal her pain, and the only people who would listen to her were from a certain side.
There are no real "outsiders".
If you say it, you will hurt others. If you don't say it, you will hurt yourself.
If it goes on for a long time...
Xu Jian is right, Xu Miao will go crazy, sooner or later.
They initially hoped that Liu Ping could support Xu Miao, but now it seems that because of Liu Ping, Xu Miao is indeed "forced" to give up Liu Xun in her heart, even if she is in pain.
For a mother who loves her children deeply, giving up is not just a matter of lip service.
"I told her that since she believes in Bodhisattva, she might as well tell Bodhisattva many things." Lin Yunyan said.
Xu Miao needs a place to vent.
There are no "outsiders", so just talk to the clay and gold sculptures.
Xu Jian understood what Lin Yunyan meant: "Disappointment and giving up are both a process."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Giving up may come from being forced by the situation, but to give up from the bottom of your heart, it must be the accumulation of countless disappointments.
Lin Yunyan nodded: "Based on my understanding of the Holy Emperor, he will be disappointed and punished, but he will not give up on Li Shao easily from the bottom of his heart."
Outside, Shen Chen announced that the food was ready.
The two simply gave up and let Shen Chen come in to set the table.
Eat full first, it won’t taste good when it’s cold.
Besides, Lin Yunyan thought, Xu Jian had been running back and forth all day, and he probably didn't even have a proper lunch, so he just laid down his mat randomly.
Gotta eat something hot.
Aunt He’s craftsmanship is as good as ever.
After finishing the meal and clearing the table, we started talking about important matters again.
The ins and outs needed to be explained clearly, and Xu Jian spoke faster.
Lin Yunyan listened very carefully. After listening to everything, she sorted out some doubts in her heart.
"The staff in the East Palace have been changed," she asked, "but the nail that was buried earlier is gone?"
"No," Xu Jian said, "I can only find another way."
Lin Yunyan asked again: "How long do you think the Lord will keep the prince in prison?"
"A few months," Xu Jian judged, "Judging from the current situation, it will be the death anniversary of the late Queen at the latest."
Lin Yunyan agreed with Xu Jian's judgment and said: "It's just that even if he comes out, he has to be honest for a while."
"We have to let him come out," Xu Jian smiled, "We want to catch that hand, but we can't lose such a good target as the prince."
Lin Yunyan nodded slightly.
When asked further, her expression became much more solemn.
"The prince went to Yongji Palace? He even met the man inside. Was it the palace officials of Yongji Palace who wanted to please him, or..."
When saying this, Lin Yunyan thought of the past.
The father was seriously injured, and one of the last words he left to them was about Li Jun.
"The prince most likely went to see the one from Yongji Palace."
Lin Yunyan took a deep breath: "Thinking about it now, maybe the connection between Li Shao and Li Jun was much earlier than what was suspected at the time."
Li Jun is a madman.
Li Shao hasn't gone crazy yet, but as long as the connection between him and Li Jun is not broken, he will slowly go crazy.
Everyone needs guidance.
Li Shao’s crazy method really needs someone like Li Jun to guide him.
"Li Jun is indeed crazy." Xu Jian thought a lot and said, "Since he was imprisoned in Yongji Palace, Li Jun's wings have been clipped too many times by the late emperor."
p>
Even if he can win over everyone in the palace, he is still not the third prince from before.
Not to mention Dao Heng and Wang Liu, just talk about the Zhu family, the former British duke who was beheaded. He will not work hard for the demoted Li Mi, but he may not like Li Jun either."
Compared with Li Mi who was demoted from Beijing, Li Jun certainly has advantages.
He was not demoted to a commoner, he was just imprisoned, and he is still living well.
But with the court stable, why would Zhu Chang be willing to pursue Li Jun?
"Before today, Li Jun and Li Shao had no contact at all," Xu Jian continued. "If we hadn't tricked Li Shao into this situation, Chen Mi Hutong would have been investigated and nothing would have happened to him. He escaped unscathed.
, and would never even think of going to Yongji Palace."
Lin Yunyan followed Xu Jian's train of thought and sorted out her thoughts: "That person is the one who can really lead Li Shao away. This time we tricked Li Shao, which was beyond his expectation, so he simply let Li Shao go.
Meeting Li Jun made the water even more muddy."
An answer has already emerged in my mind.
"Another sentence left by my father at that time," Lin Yunyan murmured, "The third prince and the King of Jin have a close personal relationship."
The third prince, Li Lin, is the only son of the concubine Zhao.
Born in the sixth year of Yongjia, he is still less than six years old.
And Li Lin, who was designated by his father as "close to the King of Jin", was only thirteen or fourteen years old.
"He wants to be regent?" Lin Yunyan's eyes lit up, "Li Shao is very close to him now. After today's incident, Li Shao immediately went to the Jin Palace.
The King of Jin would not directly tell Li Shao to go to Yongji Palace, but he understood Li Shao and could 'guide' him.
It was he who allowed Li Shao to successfully meet Li Jun and bury the next chess piece.
In the past, Li Shao did all the bad things, and the people in the court were panicked. The role of his chess piece was almost over.
The name is justifiable, and he can even convince Prince Ping to let him step in to depose Li Shao, and then support the third prince who trusts him. After that, it will be the same thing all over again.
Prince Ping won't last long, and the court has almost been cleaned up. It's all his words, and the third prince can throw it away.
He can go from the regency to the dragon throne."
Xu Jian poured a cup of tea for Lin Yunyan and drank one herself.
Thinking of Li Du's response to the court this morning, and the temperament this person displays on weekdays...
"If it's really him," Xu Jian's eyes darkened, "then this fox will be difficult to deal with."
Lin Yunyan stroked the tea cup with her fingertips and thought about it again: "I can't completely conclude, I need to test more."
If you guess wrong, the subsequent layout will be completely wrong.
The road goes further and further away, and by the time the problem is discovered, it is already too late.
Xu Jian's eyes fell on Lin Yunyan's hand.
The white porcelain tea bowl is very moist and translucent, but it is still inferior to the little princess.
The nails were dyed with cinnabar, making them whiter and more delicate.
The fingertips were caressing again and again, which was very interesting.
Xu Jian simply stretched out his hand and used some strength on his fingertips to take the tea cup from Lin Yunyan's hand.
Lin Yunyan glanced at him in surprise and didn't say anything when she saw him adding more tea.
"Don't touch it now, be careful of burning it," Xu Jian pushed back the full tea cup, "If you don't have something to hold on to, you won't be able to think straight. Here, I'll lend you my tea cup."
Lin Yunyan looked at the two teacups in front of her, neither angry nor smiling.
This man is really.
When talking about such an important matter, he deliberately interrupted.
"So, we still need Li Shao," Xu Jian said as if nothing had happened. "He has to continue to be a target. Firstly, we want the Holy Emperor to give up on him completely. Secondly, we have to follow the clues."
Treat the Holy One step by step, just like eating, one bite after another.
But when facing the person behind you, following the step-by-step approach won’t work. You have to take the wrong approach.
After deciding on a general direction, the two discussed it some more and planned to leave.
Lin Yunyan returns to Uncle Chengyi's Mansion, and Xu Jian has to go to Shuntian Mansion.
Lanterns were lit in the yard.
The small gate connects the two courtyards. Under the light of the lantern, there is darkness and light.
Lin Yunyan was walking in front, and there was water under the bluestone floor tiles. She accidentally stepped on it, and the splashed water wet her shoes.
She couldn't help but frown.
Then, someone held my arm.
Perhaps because she had been holding the stove, Xu Jian's palms were very hot, which was transmitted through her sleeves.
"Walk slowly, the floor tiles haven't been repaired for many years, so they will be like this on rainy days." Xu Jian is familiar with this place and has a good memory. He helped her avoid several unstable floor tiles until she walked to the eaves corridor.
Lin Yunyan stood still and then looked up at him.
The light was behind Xu Jian, and he was so tall that he almost blocked it. Lin Yunyan couldn't see Xu Jian's expression clearly.
No one spoke for a while.
Just when Lin Yunyan was thinking about opening her mouth first, Xu Jian's hand let go of her arm.
Instead of hanging her arm down, Xu Jian raised it a little higher and made two gestures on Lin Yunyan's head.
With a chuckle, he said: "I've grown taller, taller than in the past few months."
