The oil lamp was covered with a cover, and the light was not dazzling in the middle of the night, even too mild.
However, neither of the two people whose eyes met had any emotion that could be called "gentle" in their eyes.
Xu Jian's figure was tense.
I have to say that Lin Yunyan is very good at taking surprises.
A cup of hot water deceived his attention, and he shot quickly and accurately.
Xu Jian stabilized his arm and did not spill the water, but the force pressing on his leg completely revealed his condition, and what he could see in Lin Yunyan's eyes was that he was undoubtedly "angry".
With the temper of the little princess, how could she not be angry?
Xu Jian put the tea cup on the table, lowered his eyes, and looked at the hand still pressing on his leg.
The hand has been relieved but has not been taken back. The palm is small and the fingers are long. In the dim yellow oil lamplight, the skin is as smooth as jade.
Xu Jian pursed her lower lip.
At this moment, he was not without words.
Just as Lin Yunyan understands him, he also understands the other party. Xu Jian knows very well how to put this matter back easily, that is...
Slowly raising her eyelids, Xu Jian's eyes fell on Lin Yunyan's face again.
It can make the little princess completely anxious.
Xu Jian hesitated for a while between honestly letting Lin Yunyan talk about the "injury" or avoiding the important matter and provoking people lightly.
"Is this 'it doesn't matter'?" Lin Yunyan spoke first.
Xu Jian:......
Lin Yunyan chuckled and said, "I saw Doctor Zhang pressing down on you for so long that day, and you didn't even frown. Are my hands so strong?"
Xu Jian didn't say anything, but stretched out her hand to clasp Lin Yunyan's arm, moved it down, and held her hand firmly.
"Okay, admit your mistake," Xu Jian sighed, "Sit down first."
Lin Yunyan looked at him.
"The person who understands the truth is standing, while the person who is correcting is sitting down. Isn't it appropriate?" Xu Jian said.
Lin Yunyan looked deeply at Xu Jian. Although she sat back on the chair, she was always wary in her heart.
Don't listen to what Xu Jian said about "admitting his mistake". Lin Yunyan felt that he had a lot of unscrupulous things to say, and he was using them as a trump card. She didn't know when he would throw them out, catching her off guard.
Xu Jian saw everything she did, but just pretended not to see through it, and continued what she said before: "You know how badly I was injured. No matter how good Dr. Zhang is, treating the injury is still a process.
It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to recover like this, but it can’t be achieved overnight.
Now I can exert some energy and exert my strength for a short period of time. It is not difficult to climb over the wall. In the past, I might not be able to climb out when I flipped over. Now I take it slow and it is not a big problem.
My sudden appearance is beyond your expectation and may confuse those who follow you.
If you're worried, get a hand stove and let me cover it for a while."
Lin Yunyan looked calm.
This is called an explanation, not an "admission of error."
However, she still got up, walked to the bed, and took Yu Po out from under the quilt.
It was late at night, and if I asked Wan Yue to prepare a hand stove, it would easily disturb other people, so Tang Pozi had it ready.
Lin Yunyan tested the temperature and found it was just right, so she handed it to Xu Jian.
Xu Jian took it and put it on his lap. The heat was transmitted through the layers of clothing. It had to be said that it felt much more comfortable.
Lin Yunyan sat down again.
This time, most of the energy I was holding was gone.
It's not that she's easy to talk to, but it's just that the matter has reached this point and there's no point in being angry.
"Just make things difficult for Dr. Zhang." Lin Yunyan complained.
Since collecting the tiger bones, she has not been to Fu Guogong's mansion again, and she relies on estimates of Xu Jian's recovery from injuries.
When she heard that Xu Jian had returned to court, Lin Yunyan also murmured in her heart.
She could understand Xu Jian's considerations in court matters and the deliberateness and subtlety of this timing choice. At the same time, she also knew that it would not do any good to Xu Jian's injury.
But since Xu Jian did this, he had a sense of propriety.
Lin Yunyan believed in Xu Jian's "property", but this "proportion" was the key to overcoming the wall tonight.
The reasons were very good and the arrangements were appropriate, but he still didn't pay enough attention to his own injuries.
By ignoring the injury like this, no matter how talented Dr. Zhang was, how much results could he achieve?
In the end, I went through all the painstaking treatment, but the injury did not get better...
Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan couldn't help but frown.
have to!
She remembered.
"This is my fault." Lin Yunyan said.
Xu Jian's eyelids twitched.
He could hear the hint of settling scores in Lin Yunyan's calm tone.
As expected, Lin Yunyan said: "I just remembered that the Duke of Guo's treatment of injuries was not about 'you can't suffer in vain, you have to get something back from Li Shao'."
At the very beginning, the Duke of Guo expressed the meaning that "healing injuries is a means, seeking profit is a need, and whether it is good or not is incidental."
At that time, my left ear went in and my right ear came out. I didn't remember this and misunderstood the Duke's thoughts.
It’s just wishful thinking on my part.”
Xu Jian cleared her throat.
A little princess is still a little princess.
The moment she pressed her leg, she lifted it. When she turned over old accounts, they had to be old accounts. She flipped them over to the "front".
She may not be very angry, but she must be quite yin and yang.
Xu Jian really couldn't argue with Lin Yunyan about this matter in detail. Once they did, they would focus on "why it happened by the way."
Xu Jian was thinking about it, trying to find a good entry point. Before he could say anything, he saw that the strange man had already turned his head.
Lin Yunyan was probably in a panic, and the ends of her eyes were a little red.
Outside, the night wind was strong, making the window panels buzz.
In the dim light, Xu Jian saw the clothes hanger on the wall, and the red wedding dress hanging on it was.
His eyes were fixed on the wedding dress.
The wedding dress is hanging down and the sleeves are unfolded. You can see the gold and silver embroidery flying on it at a glance. On the bright red background, there is a phoenix wearing peonies, with the golden phoenix raising its head and the peonies blooming.
It was exactly as he remembered it.
Many old scenes were swirling in his mind. Xu Jian's heart was filled with ups and downs, and finally he sighed: "Ayan."
Hearing the sound, Lin Yunyan turned around and saw Xu Jian looking at the wedding dress.
"I seem to be a bit brave today, but I really know how my leg is injured," Xu Jian's eyes were still on the peony, "I won't come in a sedan, reluctantly ride a horse to welcome the bride, and then use crutches to lead you into the house.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! If it will affect your daily life, I will definitely not read it today.
I know you regretted last time."
Lin Yunyan bit her back teeth, took a deep breath, and endured the sourness in her eyes.
But actually, what does she regret?
Compared with the splendor and respectability when welcoming the bride, what she cared most about was Xu Jian's injury. If Xu Jian was healthy, the ceremonial issues would not matter at all.
Do you care about wedding ceremony?
After all, it was not the first time that a big girl got on the sedan chair, she married Xu Jian for the second time.
It was Xu Jian who regarded flaws as shortcomings and felt guilty and thought about them.
Xu Jian thought that it was thanks to her that he became obsessed with her in this life.
Lin Yunyan calmed down and asked, "What did Doctor Zhang say about your injury? I want to hear the truth. Of course, you can continue to hide it, and you can hide it for only ten days. After that, I will ask Doctor Zhang myself every day."
"
Xu Jian laughed, neither did he smile: "Doctor Zhang definitely recommended more rest, but he also told you before that even if the treatment is continued, it will not be the same as before. Whether I go to court or climb over the wall, it will be delayed.
Heals injuries, but it’s limited.”
"Are you really trying to kill the prince with your own leg?" Lin Yunyan muttered, and when she raised her head again, she looked at Xu Jian for a moment, "When I came back from the Duke's Mansion that day, I thought about many questions over and over again.
I have figured it out a bit, but there are still many doubts. Do you want to answer it now, or wait a little longer and I will wear my wedding dress and follow you one by one?"
Xu Jian's throat rolled: "What do you want to ask?"
Lin Yunyan said: "You told me before that some things are destined to happen."
This time, Xu Jian really laughed, and she smiled helplessly.
The little princess is not only sharp, but she also knows how to make targeted decisions. Those who have been fooled in the past will come back again after she cleans up the situation.
"Ask." Xu Jian adjusted her sitting posture, her smile gradually faded, and there was no extra emotion on her face, she just looked at her quietly.
Lin Yunyan's breath froze.
Xu Jian like this is not that familiar to her, but she is not completely unfamiliar either.
The usual yin and yang aura, gentleness and humility, and even the occasional flamboyant gestures have been restrained. This different scene reminded Lin Yunyan of Xu Jian in the past, when she just got married in her previous life.
Cold, distant, indifferent, newlyweds understand each other a little, but are not close at all.
Xu Jian has not yet learned her neither yin nor yang, and they have not experienced hardships, nor have they developed the trust and familiarity they have developed over the past few years.
For a while, Lin Yunyan didn't feel comfortable with it, but she also understood in her heart that some things were more straightforward to communicate like this.
This time, Xu Jian probably wouldn't care about him.
Lin Yunyan kept her voice steady and said word by word: "You said that not everything can be changed. Even if you change the way, there are still things that are bound to happen and are destined.
Just like those two boxes of gold bricks, someone was destined to be buried on a rainy night. It was Chen Gui in the past and Li Yuanfa now.
Just like Mrs. Xu will definitely witness Liu Jing's 'betrayal' and his falling out with you. It was Liu Jing who had the upper hand before, but now it's you.
So, what else led the Duke to come to this conclusion?
Is it your leg injury?"
After the words fell, the room was quiet, only the wind outside was still beating on the window.
Xu Jian was silent for a while.
Lin Yunyan smiled, stretched out her hand, dipped her fingertips into the cold water in the tea cup, and drew a circle on the left and right sides of the table.
"When you said that Yumenguan was injured, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong. You dared to tie the prince back to the gate. How could you not watch him and let him leave the gate again?"
"I was so excited by you that I overshadowed it. It wasn't until Mrs. Xu's words that day that I suddenly remembered it again."
"Mrs. Xu had a dream. You were carrying her on your back, and your legs were fine until Liu Xun slashed your legs with a knife."
"So, the leg injury is doomed, no matter whose knife it is or what method it is, right?"
Xu Jian's lips curved slightly, then pressed back: "Ayan is smart."
In four simple words, the answer is given.
Lin Yunyan sniffed the tip of her nose: "How many ways are there?"
Xu Jian's voice was deep: "Control Li Shao to prevent him from getting into danger and send him back to the capital safely. I will be injured in the battle with Xiliang; I can also not be a vanguard and kill Xiliang, but there is still
Liu Xun: Generally speaking, it is more beneficial to let Li Shao commit the crime."
Lin Yunyan's eyes turned red again at the word "beneficial".
It's really beneficial.
It made the Holy Master feel guilty, made Li Shao anxious, and even calculated to control the leg injury to the extent he wanted.
I can go to court and walk without much delay.
No wonder Xu Jian said before that he was "satisfied with the injury."
Lin Yunyan asked again: "The imbalance in the relationship with Li Shao is doomed, regardless of whether you are injured because of him? It is also doomed that Li Shao commits an offense, so you sit back and watch, or even let him commit an offense?"
A series of questions, but Lin Yunyan already had the answer in her heart.
Who is Xu Jian?
The old man was well-educated, had a good foundation, and had the most accurate sense of loyalty. When he knew that Li Shao would go astray, his first choice would be to bring Li Shao back instead of directly planning
Wasted prince.
Only when he tried to break it but it didn't work, and that road didn't work, Xu Jian would think of another way.
Xu Jian smiled bitterly in reply.
"Does it take a long time to walk every time?" Lin Yunyan asked hoarsely.
Xu Jian shook his head: "No, it's actually very chaotic. It's not as clear as it is every day. Sometimes time is very slow, and sometimes it flashes by. I can catch some of it, but I can't catch it completely.
Some of what Mrs. Xu said is correct. The road ahead is full of forks. Many times you can't find the right path, so you can only try, one by one, to get a result..."
Xu Jian's speech was very simple, but what Lin Yunyan heard was all difficult.
It was at this moment that she could understand what Xu Jian said that day.
"Once you have gone through it, you will know what is right and what is wrong. The more you know, the better your luck will be."
Xu Jian told her that "being able to get through" was based on the chaotic and unclear roads that he had never gotten through before...
Lin Yunyan's doubts were mostly resolved, and her thoughts were clearer than the previous moment.
She leaned forward: "The Duke said that Mrs. Xu will go crazy sooner or later. You have seen her in various crazy situations, but she is not crazy now, right?"
Xu Jian said: "Yes."
"So," Lin Yunyan paused and looked at Xu Jian for a moment, her eyes deep and deep, reflecting his figure, "Can I think that this time, there will be some unchangeable 'destiny'
can change?"
Xu Jian was speechless.
The sound of the wind outside seemed to have stopped, and was replaced by the sound of heartbeats in my ears, one after another.
His, Lin Yunyan's.
Seeing her so close, Xu Jian's eyebrows relaxed and she smiled again.
A smile flashed across his face, and he still said the same four words: "The princess is smart."
Lin Yunyan's tears fell quickly.
What is she smart about?
Wasn't it because Xu Jian made it dark under the lamp?
If she hadn't acted decisively today, she probably wouldn't have been able to force her to say these words.
In the light of tears, her vision was hazy, and Xu Jian's outline was a little blurred. Lin Yunyan subconsciously stretched out her hands and landed on Xu Jian's knees.
She avoided Xu Jian's injured position and did not dare to use much strength.
