For a moment, Su Li suspected that he had seen it wrong.
Logically speaking, the word "gloomy resentment" would never appear in a person like Xiao Lin.
He is the majestic God of War, the cold and ascetic Prince of the East Palace, he is also the amiable brother in her heart, or, in the eyes of his subordinates, he is the commander who loves his soldiers as much as his son.
No matter which identity he has, it has nothing to do with the word "ghost".
That's the kind of look only a woman in a boudoir would have!
But at this moment, something so straightforward appeared on Xiao Lin's face. The originally cold black eyes were full of loneliness and melancholy. His thin lips were slightly pouted, his thick eyebrows were tightly frowned, and his handsome face was full of loneliness. The grievances and losses felt were so intense that they almost overflowed!
Su Li was stunned and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Xiao Lin didn't say anything, and just looked at her deeply with such aggrieved and lonely eyes, so speechless that Su Li's heart almost broke!
"Your Majesty... Your Highness..." she stammered, "Do you... have something difficult to solve?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Lin asked.
"I..." Su Li coughed lightly, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered what he had just asked himself.
In your heart, who is more important, me or Mr. Gu?
She didn't think much about it at the time, but after the "shameful" incident just now and looking at Xiao Lin's melancholy state, a bold and absurd idea suddenly appeared in her mind.
His Royal Highness, isn't he jealous because she is close to Gu Qiancheng?
As soon as this thought flashed in his mind, Su Li shook his head decisively.
impossible!
This is absolutely impossible!
Who is Xiao Lin?
That is the girl in the girl's dream!
There are as many women who like him as crucian carp crossing the river, and among them there are naturally many women from high families who are both beautiful and talented.
These women are all very suitable for him in terms of family background and appearance.
What kind of delicate and beautiful flowers has he not seen?
And she...
Su Li lowered his head and looked at himself, smiling self-deprecatingly.
I'm afraid she's not even a flower, right?
At best, it's just a roadside weed, the kind that grows slender and yellow.
Even if Xiao Lin is blind, it is impossible for him to fall in love with a woman like her!
She must be crazy to think that!
She clearly knows that the person Xiao Lin has been in love with has been her childhood sweetheart sister Xu Qiang from the beginning, but now she is here with her wildest dreams, it's so funny!
Now that this absurd possibility has been ruled out, then...
While she was thinking wildly, Xiao Lin suddenly asked again: "Ali, is it difficult to answer my question?"
Su Li was startled.
question?
what is the problem?
She looked at Xiao Lin blankly, not remembering what questions he asked her.
The two men's voices sounded together just now. Xiao Lin was farther away, and she focused on looking at Gu Qiancheng's eyes. Therefore, she only heard Gu Qiancheng's voice and not Xiao Lin's.
Seeing this, Gu Qiancheng quickly reminded: "Your Highness just asked you what you are doing?"
"I..." Su Li reacted instantly and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, I am looking at my brother's eyes! He had eye problems before and had been taking medicine. That day you fell into the water, he went into the water with me to look for you, and I just remembered , his eyes cannot be put into the water, but he came back safe and sound, I think his eyes are healed!"
"It's indeed better!" Gu Qiancheng nodded, "It was back to normal five days ago, but you were too busy and didn't have time to see me..."
Su Li nodded: "That's great! However, you have just recovered, so you need to pay more attention on weekdays! Going into the water yesterday was a risky move! Your Highness, I was so anxious that I forgot to remind you!"
When Xiao Lin heard this, his frown immediately relaxed.
Worrying about his life and death, I forgot about Gu Qiancheng's eye disease...
So, he is more important, right?
This association made his mood instantly improve, and his originally gloomy complexion also changed from gloomy to clear at this time.
"It turns out that the eldest son Gu also participated in the search and rescue..." He smiled, "He took the risk to rescue me regardless of his eye disease. I will never forget the great kindness of eldest son Gu!"
Gu Qiancheng looked at his conjuring face, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he cupped his hands and said: "His Royal Highness, the words are serious! Although I participated, it was A Li who discovered His Highness, and I was just helping from the side! Such a great favor! Two words, minister, don’t take it seriously!”
"Deserve it!" Xiao Lin shook his head, "Search and rescue is a collective effort. It was you who rescued Gu alone! Gu alone deserves the reward!"
"If Your Highness wants to award a reward, don't forget Young Master Wen Jinan!" Su Li said with a smile, "He also participated!"
"Wen Jin'an?" Xiao Lin couldn't remember who this person was for a moment.
"He is Wen Xiu's nephew!" Su Li reminded, "Although his surname is Wen, he has been harshly treated and suppressed by Wen Xiu. Although he is full of talents, he has never seen the light of day..."
She wanted to push talents like Wen Jin'an to Xiao Lin, but she didn't know that what was running in Xiao Lin's mind was the scene when she talked to Wen Jin'an on the day of the chrysanthemum appreciation banquet in Qunfang Garden.
They were all men, and he could tell at a glance that the young man with a red face and a stuttering speech had evil intentions towards her.
Su Li also seemed to treat him differently from others, saying a lot of encouraging words to him, and saying that he came and went often.
She is not someone who likes to climb up to the throne. She has been with him for so long and has never recommended anyone to him. But now she is specifically pushing Mr. Wen out. Could it be that she has some thoughts about Wen Jin'an?
Thinking of this, Xiao Lin's face, which had just become clear, suddenly turned cloudy again.
Gu Qiancheng had been carefully watching his expression since he asked those jealous words. When he saw that his expression turned dark again, he began to murmur in his heart again.
His Highness the Crown Prince... is he jealous again?
Su Li looked at Xiao Lin's inexplicably cold face and swallowed back the words of praise on his lips.
She also doesn't understand Xiao Lin's thoughts now.
Xiao Lin was also reborn, so he naturally remembered what happened in his previous life and knew that Wen Jin'an was a useful talent.
All she could do at this moment was remind him to let those who could be useful to him come to him as soon as possible.
It was obviously the icing on the cake, why did Xiao Lin look like this?
Su Li guessed for a long time, but couldn't guess Xiao Lin's intention, and regretted that he had said too much.
She didn't understand the affairs of the court, nor did she know what was going on between Wen Jin'an and Xiao Lin. Such a rash recommendation of someone from the Wen family might have really touched Xiao Lin's bottom line.
"Your Highness, I..." She was about to explain, but Xiao Lin interrupted her softly.
"A Li is right. Mr. Wen is just like Mr. Gu. They are both useful talents! The imperial court is in need of such talents, and Gu is naturally thirsty for talents..."
He turned to Gu Qiancheng as he spoke, "This year's autumn has been delayed by this catastrophe. However, Gu intends to postpone the autumn. By then, will Mr. Gu be willing to give it a try?"
