Chapter 48: What the Heart Wants and What the Action Wants
"Suddenly an old friend came to my mind, and it was already autumn when I looked back on the mountains and rivers."
In the Yu'er Building, Li Danqing was lying on a soft couch, while Yu Jin, who was sitting next to him, was holding a collection of poems and reading softly.
Her voice was soft, her brows slightly furrowed, and she seemed to be immersed in the poem. But at this moment, her eyes caught sight of Li Danqing, who was already slightly drunk, and she burst into laughter.
I don't know where the prince went before he came. When he came, he looked as gray as if he had rolled in the mud, and he still smelled like sweat.
He seemed very tired. He didn't have a few words with Yu Jin before he lay down on the couch and fell asleep.
After all, Yu Jin couldn't bear to wake him up. She stood up, took a blanket from the bed, and gently covered Li Danqing's body.
She was about to go out, but when she blew out the candles, she caught a glimpse of Li Danqing's side face sleeping peacefully.
She paused suddenly, stopped what she was doing by accident, then crouched down and looked at the other person quietly, with a complicated look in her eyes, just like the thoughts in her mind at that moment.
…
"The temple needs a holy mountain."
“Yangshan is the best choice.”
"Yong'an Martial Arts School is the key to all this. If you offend Tong Yue, you will make the temple's previous efforts fall short. Do you understand the gains and losses involved?"
The man stroked Yujin's head and asked softly.
His tone was calm, and no trace of sadness or joy could be heard, but Yu Jin's body was shaking more and more violently.
"This slave is reckless. I thought..." She leaned down and whispered.
"The temple has never been a place where we need to know the motives. We have always only looked at the results." The man interrupted Yu Jin's words.
"This slave deserves death!" Yu Jin's body began to tremble, and she understood what price she had to pay.
In fact, she has understood since she was a child that death is never something that is too far away from her. She has also thought about whether she can be freed by death.
But she didn't have the courage to try it, and when this moment really came, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
"You do deserve to die. But according to the rules of the temple, you have the opportunity to make a meritorious deed and go further." The man said again.
Yu Jin was stunned and looked up at the other person, but the other person's face was still hidden in the darkness. Just like every time before, it was still difficult for her to see the other person's face clearly.
"If you want to use Yong'an Martial Arts School to break into Yangshan, the temple still needs some tricks, but if it is Li Danqing, everything will fall into place."
As the man said this, he stretched out his hand and handed over a snow-white jade pill.
"He trusts you very much. If you give him the magic medicine, you will have done a great job. Not only will you be exempted from today's punishment, but you will also be able to enter Taishan Mansion."
When Yu Jin heard this, his face turned pale, and his body trembled more and more obviously: "But this magic medicine..."
She wanted to say something, but the man's cold eyes
But the light fell on her body at that time, and Yu Jin, who still wanted to say something, remained silent at that moment: "Remember, this is your only chance."
…
That was a very magical experience.
She knew very little about the prince in front of her, but by chance she caught a glimpse of some clues that most people never saw.
Perhaps it was those clues that attracted her so much that she did some stupid things for him and received some punishment.
Is it worth it for him?
This thought rang in Yu Jin's mind. She stretched out one hand, slowly wiped out a white jade pill from her arms, and put it tremblingly into Li Danqing's wine glass beside her - she knew very well that sleeping
After waking up, Li Danqing would drink the wine in the glass, every time without exception these days.
Then she turned to look at Li Danqing again, her mood even more complicated.
This look is a bit fascinating.
"Does it look good?" At this moment, three words popped out of Li Danqing's mouth with his eyes closed.
Yu Jin's body trembled, like a frightened deer, and he quickly took a few steps back, his forehead covered with sweat due to the tension in his heart.
Li Danqing's eyes opened at this moment, he stared at Yu Jin with interest and said: "The girl is a person with quite a taste, unlike those of my new disciples who only like superficial things.
vulgarian."
Yu Jin had obviously heard about some recent things about Dafeng Yuan. She stared at Li Danqing for a while, and then she breathed a sigh of relief after making sure that the other party had not noticed what she had just done.
"Everyone has their own preferences for carrots and vegetables. The prince can't think of being inferior to others in everything, right?" After a while, Yu Jin calmed down the surging emotions in his heart and said this.
Li Danqing tilted his head and thought for a while, then said: "That's right, those little brats will one day understand that appearance is just a cloud, and what is really interesting is a soul like this prince."
Hearing this, Yu Jin squeezed out a smile on her face: "The prince is just a man with a sharp mouth and a soft heart. He talks about those girls, but he still misses them in his heart."
"What do you mean?" Li Danqing asked a little strangely.
Yu Jin said softly: "Today's matter could have been abandoned, but the prince still completely offended the owner of the Tongyue Pavilion in order to make those girls live more comfortably. If the prince really hates those girls, why bother to do so?
They are crowded into a small room in Dafengyuan. It is impossible to say that some of them cannot bear this suffering and have to leave. Doesn’t the prince still have peace? "
After hearing this, Li Danqing glanced at Yu Jin with some surprise and sighed: "Young lady is very careful. She only works as a shopkeeper in this Yu'er Building. She is not a good person."
Some words were unintentional by the speaker but intentional by the listener. Yu Jin's heart skipped a beat and she was silent for a while before she said again: "So the prince is so careful, is he really planning to take all those girls into his pocket?"
Li Danqing rolled his eyes: "I don't like those raw melon and eggs. What I like has always been..."
Talking about Li Dan
Qing's eyes looked at Yu Jin's body very aggressively, and the hidden meaning was naturally coming out. Yu Jin and Li Danqing had also been together for a while, and they probably understood that His Highness, the Crown Prince, had only been addicted to talking.
Thoughts, but still couldn't help but blush.
Seeing her like this, Li Danqing suddenly felt satisfied and said: "Although I don't agree with the poor aesthetic standards of those little bastards, I still appreciate them."
"What do you mean?" Yu Jin blinked and asked with some confusion.
"At least they know what they like and have the courage to fight for it. This alone is a thousand times better than ordinary people." After Li Danqing said this, he curled his lips and added: "Even if what they like smells bad,
Not audible.”
"A person's life lasts only a few decades. Whether it is long or short, the most important thing is to feel comfortable and at ease."
"Everyone has heard the truth and everyone understands it, but most people still follow the crowd and don't know what they want."
"Maybe you know it, but you don't dare to ask for it. You just live in a muddle-headed way, just to live. After a long time, you become numb. After a hundred years, it turns into a handful of loess. No one remembers it. Even you don't understand what you are doing in this life.
For what, and for what.”
"So, my prince still likes those girls."
"What the heart desires is what one pursues. Why ask what is right and wrong, and how can we measure the gains and losses of good and evil."
After Li Danqing said this, he smiled slightly, reached out and picked up the wine glass on the table, and made a move to drink the contents of the glass in one gulp.
"What your heart desires, your actions will lead to." Yu Jin murmured Li Danqing's words, and was touched by an inexplicable surge of something in her heart. She was about to ask something more, but she caught a glimpse of Li Danqing raising his wine glass.
"Prince!" She was startled, and at that moment she forgot her master's instructions and called out to Li Danqing.
"What's wrong?" Li Danqing stopped what he was doing and looked at Yu Jin in confusion.
"It's late at night and this wine has gone cold. I'll go and heat it up for the prince before drinking it." Yu Jin explained awkwardly.
Li Danqing smiled slightly and said, he turned his head and looked at the night outside the house and said: "Isn't it beautiful to pair cold wine with old age?"
After saying that, he was about to raise his glass again. When he caught a glimpse of the jade brocade, his heart seemed to be tugged, with mixed feelings. Seeing the wine glass getting closer and closer to Li Danqing's lips, an inexplicable impulse rose in his heart.
, finally overcame the woman's reason.
She didn't care about anything else and rushed to Li Danqing with one step. At that time, she hugged Li Danqing's waist with both hands and knocked the wine glass out of Li Danqing's hand.
Bang.
The wine glass fell to the ground and the glass shattered.
Yu Jin looked up at the astonished Li Danqing, and suddenly her heart felt hot.
Do what your heart desires, and do what you want.
Eight words come to mind.
Her mind went blank, and at that moment she stood on tiptoes and kissed the other person's lips.
