"Don't cry, lest others see it and think I've bullied you again."
Yan Xiu half-jokingly said that he knew she was a sweetheart, and someone could make her cry with just a few words. If someone treated her a little better, she would love to repay him with all her heart.
What should I do with such a simple and easy-to-deceive little girl?
He's right.
Zhu Sijia was afraid that others would misunderstand her, and if she caused him a lot of trouble again, she would have a bad conscience, so she forced herself to stop her tears. She raised her eyes to look at him, sniffed and said with sobs:
"Okay, I won't cry anymore. Master Li must have been waiting for you for a long time. Let's go inside first."
There is no good place to flirt. You have to stand outside other people's houses to flirt. I don't know if Yan Xiu's heartfelt words were heard by Li Woyun. Anyway, Zhu Sijia's face turned red with embarrassment.
Yan Xiu pushed the door open directly and entered. Zhu Sijia followed and saw Li Woyun sleeping in the room.
Fortunately, Li Woyun was lying flat on the narrow bed, with a thick quilt draped over him, his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping and resting.
He has lost a lot of weight visibly.
When you close your eyes, you can clearly see his sunken eye sockets and increasingly tall eyebrow bones. The concave cheeks are more obvious, and all the lines on his face seem to have been deliberately carved through meticulous painting.
It seems that he was seriously injured and was able to escape all the way from the northern border back to Xijing. The hardships are self-evident.
Not long after Zhu Sijia and Yan Xiu entered the house, Li Xunfeng also entered the house with Yan Wei.
It was not easy for others to forcefully wake up Li Woyun, but his brother did not have to pay so much attention. Li Xunfeng sat beside the couch and softly woke up Li Woyun.
Li Woyun opened his eyes and glanced at Yan Xiu and Zhu Sijia. He hurriedly stood up and prepared to salute. Yan Xiu got closer to him and stretched out his hand to hold him down:
"Master Li, there is no need to be polite. As a hero of the Qin Dynasty, I have no time to treat you with more courtesy. How dare I ask you for the courtesy of a monarch and a minister? Today in Chunyang Temple, there are no emperors or ministers, only like-minded friends for many years."
Li Woyun looked at Zhu Sijia with obvious suspicion again. For a while, he must not have understood the situation in the past few months.
I wish Scarlett could follow suit, stood up, walked to him and said:
"Master Li, there is no need to be surprised. It is His Majesty who wants to bring my concubine to visit Master Li. As the pillar of the country, Master Li is concerned about the country and serving the public. I am the concubine who enjoys the people's worship. How can I turn a blind eye to it?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Xiu was the first to show his pleased and appreciative eyes.
It seemed that he wanted to congratulate her, and Li Woyun sighed inwardly.
It had only been half a year since he went to the north, but the relationship between the two had developed to the point where Yan Xiu was willing to take her with him to sympathize with his subordinates. Throughout the ages, the queens of the middle palace were the ones who were qualified to take charge of this matter.
It is a great honor for the minister to be cared for by the emperor and empress at the same time.
The position of Empress of Da Qin was firmly established in Li Woyun's heart at this moment. Although Zhu Sijia was young and had a beautiful appearance that was easily criticized by others, she was qualified to sit in that position, both in her manners and in her words and deeds.
Facing the greetings and inquiries from several people in the room, Li Woyun patiently answered them one by one. He coughed a few times and said:
"Fortunately, I have lived up to my duty. I have completed all the tasks assigned to me by Your Majesty. It's just that, ahem...cough, it's just that I am incompetent, not good at martial arts, and failed to protect Mr. Zheng."
Yan Xiu frowned: "Don't worry, Mr. Zheng's family, young and old, have been properly arranged by Tao, and there is no fear of their lives for the time being. I have also issued a secret decree to ensure that when Zheng's eldest son reaches the crown, he can directly enter the court to succeed his father. Bit."
The two little Taoist boys boiled the medicine and brought it to the room. Yan Wei took the medicine and fed it to him with his own hands: "How is your recovery? If there are no serious problems, you can follow your Majesty back to the capital secretly today."
Li Woyun frowned and looked at Li Xunfeng first, then at Zhu Sijia:
"Weichen is no longer seriously injured, and all the evidence is not damaged in the observation. You can return to the capital with His Majesty today. However, please allow Weichen to rest for another half month after returning to the capital."
What he was going to say next must be something that not many people could listen to. Even Li Xunfeng, his brother, was inconvenient to be present.
After Li Xunfeng and Zhu Sijia looked at each other, they silently exited the room without Yan Xiu staying.
Not far from the courtyard where Li Woyun lived, there was a high platform with an iron chain as a fence. Beyond the iron chain, there was the cliff of the abyss.
There is only a plank road less than one foot long on the cliff, which is also the reason why Nanhua Mountain is known as the most dangerous peak in the world.
Zhu Sijia was a little afraid of heights, but facing the wonderful scenery of Nanhua Mountain with jagged rocks and steep peaks, she seemed to be possessed. She followed Li Xunfeng to the high platform and stood side by side, almost clinging to the cold and thick iron chains.
The two of them looked into the distance in tacit understanding. The mountain wind blew by, making the old pine above their heads rustle, the pine needles intertwined, and the wind exuded a refreshing fragrance.
Perhaps he was used to smelling the rosin, or perhaps when the rosin had dispersed in the wind, Li Xunfeng slowly said, "Jieyu, do you have something to ask Pindao?"
Zhu Sijia immediately denied it: "I didn't mean that. Guanzhu Li was overly worried."
Although she rarely asked for advice, Li Xunfeng's reputation had made her ears tingle all her life.
Li Xunfeng is not only famous for his appearance, but also because of his high moral character at a young age.
If his wise eyes saw the clues about herself, she would only feel uneasy in the days to come.
Li Xunfeng just smiled at her silently. Although the smile was like a spring breeze, it seemed to be saying, do you really have nothing to say?
Why don't you believe it?
Faced with such a smile, Zhu Sijia was beginning to feel uneasy. She carefully took two steps back, took a deep breath, and turned back to the guests: "I dare to ask Guanzhu Li, but do you have something to say to me?"
Otherwise, don't look at me with that expression, it's really scary.
There happened to be a white crane stopping here, standing next to Li Xunfeng in fluttering white clothes, which was a feast for the eyes.
Li Xunfeng hugged the white crane tenderly and skillfully took out bird food from his sleeves to feed it. He looked at Lin Hai in the distance and sighed:
"Don't worry, Jieyu. Monks should not reveal secrets. Even if I know something, I will never tell outsiders."
"Phoenix Nirvana, rebirth from the ashes. I dare not say that Jieyu is destined to be a true phoenix, but Jieyu must experience nirvana at least twice in her life to achieve perfection."
"Two Nirvanas?" Zhu Sijia was not only surprised by the "Nirvana" in his words, but also by the number.
If her rebirth can be regarded as her first nirvana, then where is this second nirvana?
What makes Zhu Sijia even more uneasy is that everything she is experiencing now is just a dream before her death, and is it all a vain fantasy?
If so, what's the point of everything she's doing now.
Li Xunfeng was not in a hurry to answer her. After the white crane had a feast, flapped its wings with satisfaction and flew away, he said seriously: "Jieyu, don't worry too much, let everything take its course and the outcome will be resolved."
"No matter whether we can break the ending or not, Jieyu has experienced nirvana once, and her character has become incomparable to others. Even if the morning light is dim on the road ahead, we must grasp the ray of light, but if we insist on sailing against the current, we may hurt the sincerity of others."
