Although Master Lioyuan quickly changed his words, Fang Ziqin still heard the word "your sister" clearly, and the look in his eyes softened a lot, but disappeared in just a moment.
"She injured her right hand." Fang Ziqin's voice was very low. As he said this, he couldn't help but glance at Master Yuan's right hand hidden in the sleeve of his robe.
Master Liaoyuan saw it clearly, but his expression was dark and unclear, "Same as me?"
Fang Ziqin lowered his eyes and remained silent. After a while, he nodded slightly, "If I can save my life, the best situation would be the same as you."
Best? Master Liaoyuan subconsciously touched his right wrist, "It'll be good if you can save your life."
"You and I both know what kind of person she is." Fang Ziqin hesitated for a moment, but continued, "When she was young, she once broke through the imperial city and the underground palace alone in order to become the best in the world. If it weren't for you..."
She paused, and when she saw Master Yuan's calm expression, she continued: "I asked His Majesty, His Royal Highness Prince Xiang at that time, to help me. I'm afraid she would have lost her life long ago."
"I understand what you mean." Master Lioyuan nodded slightly and said: "She has never been afraid of death. If there is anything that ranks last in her heart, it must be life and death. But now it is different. She has a tie. I will no longer put life and death at risk so easily.”
Fang Ziqin said thoughtfully: "You mean Mo Han, Mr. Mo?"
"Not only Mr. Mo, but also Miss Awan, the little medical girl next to Mr. Wen Ya, and..." Master Liaoyuan raised the corners of his lips as he spoke, looked at Fang Ziqin and said, "You, and the Fang family behind you .”
Fang Ziqin relaxed and said with a smile: "It's not that I haven't thought about it. She is just a stubborn person, but she still has the Fang family in her heart. But..."
She stopped talking and looked at Master Yuan steadily, "Ajun, do you remember that I once told you that she and I are not biological sisters."
When he heard the name Ajun, Master Liaoyuan surprisingly showed no resistance. It was neither like the persistence in repeatedly correcting Li Shengxuan, nor the deafness when he occasionally heard others calling Zhuge Jun.
Just because when Fang Ziqin called Ajun, he saw the bright and decisive girl's look on her face, which was his first love.
"I remember." There was a look of nostalgia in Master Liaoyuan's eyes, like the fiery red cassock outside the spotless monk's robe, hot and sincere.
I remember every word you said. Even after living in Buddhism for so many years, I still haven't forgotten a single word.
Being stared at by such eyes, Fang Ziqin wanted to dodge for no reason, but was attracted to him as if possessed by an evil spirit, and could not look away for a long time.
Master Liaoyuan never showed any impatience and did not say anything until Fang Ziqin realized that he had lost his composure, turned his head and whispered: "It was me who lost my manners."
"It doesn't matter." Master Liaoyuan said warmly: "The tea is cold, I will change it for you."
"Ajun." Fang Ziqin suddenly shouted, picking up the cup on the table and drinking it down eagerly.
It seems as if he is afraid of losing something, and he seems to just feel that this cup of tea has been changed and will no longer be the same cup as before...
Just like them, there is no going back.
"Qin'er, I'm here." Master Liaoyuan watched helplessly as Fang Ziqin put the tea cup back on the table, but still held it tightly and refused to let go, so he couldn't help but stretch out his hand.
"Ajun, will you always be here?" Fang Ziqin was like a drowning person who saw the only hope of saving his life. However, it was too far away, and she couldn't see clearly whether this hope was a straw that could be broken at once, or a driftwood that could hold her ashore.
"Yes." Master Liaoyuan failed to reach out his hand after all, but stopped at the side of the table closer to Fang Ziqin, "Wherever you are, I will be there."
Fang Ziqin lowered his head and looked at the two hands on the table. One crossed the middle, trying to get closer but couldn't get any extravagance. The other was holding on to the cup, not daring to let go, but greedy for the other's warmth. Just like the relationship between them, it is always elusive.
She closed her eyes suddenly, and when she opened them again, she had calmed down a lot, "She knew her life experience."
Master Lioyuan heard Fang Ziqin change the subject, and followed her words and asked: "What is her life experience..."
"I can't say it." Fang Ziqin resolutely interrupted Master Yuan's question, "For the sake of the Fang family, I can't say it."
For the Fang family? There was a little bitterness on Master Liaoyuan's face. Fang Ziqin pursed her lips and rubbed her fingers over the wall of the lamp, "Ajun, I'm sorry."
Master Lioyuan opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, Fang Ziqin said again: "Master Lioyuan, thank you."
After saying that, she stood up and left without looking back. Master Liaoyuan looked at her back, his heart beating wildly and blood seemed to explode all over his body, but his reason told him that he should not chase her out.
When Qiu Shui saw Fang Ziqin walking out, he breathed a sigh of relief and stepped forward quickly, "Your Majesty..."
"Qiu Shui, go to Yanming Lake." Fang Ziqin said quickly and softly. Qiu Shui almost thought he heard wrong and asked, "Empress, aren't we going back to the palace?"
Fang Ziqin was walking in a hurry and refused to say a word. Qiu Shui's heart sank, so he had to help her get into the car and ordered the driver to rush to Yanming Lake on the outskirts of Beijing.
In the eyes of others, Yanming Lake is just a place to enjoy. It is almost winter now, and there is no scenery, only a withered appearance.
But Qiu Shui knew that this was the place where her young lady and Zhuge Jun fell in love, and where they often met.
Zhuge Jun? Qiu Shui was stunned. She thought she had forgotten this name like everyone else, but she still remembered it clearly.
After all, when her daughter learned that Zhuge Jun was in danger, her eyes were swollen with tears without food and tea for days and nights. She also knelt in the rain for Zhuge Jun after agreeing to put on a phoenix crown and harem for Prince Xiang. What's more, after learning that Zhuge Jun returned to Beijing to become a monk, he drank red flowers and had no heirs from then on...
She has seen all these things. Her young lady has loved and suffered for Zhuge Jun, how could she forget?
"Stop the car." Hearing this, Qiu Shui came back to his senses. He thought it was a routine inspection of the city gate, but when he realized that it was so fast, he heard Fang Ziqin's voice, "Turn around and go back to the palace."
Only then did Qiu Shui realize that it was Fang Ziqin who said he was the one who stopped the car before, "Mother, are you not going to Yanming Lake?"
"I won't go." Fang Ziqin calmed down, "This is a place where spring is sad and autumn is sad. Why am I going there?"
"That's true." Qiu Shui nodded and said, "That's probably a place where idiots go to complain about their daughters. They are not worthy of the empress."
There is a legend about the origin of Yanming Lake. It is said that one winter, a wild goose was injured and could not fly south. Its partner stayed with it, and they froze to death together by the lake. The two geese's screams lingered for a long time, so this lake was named after it. Named Yanming.
Over time, it became a place for lovers to date, but I don’t know whether it was because the rumors were too tragic or something else. There were very few consummations, but many regrets.
Fang Ziqin thought sadly, does the idiot blame the daughter? For example, she and Zhuge Jun, as well as Wei Subaru and Zhuge Shan...
