So that's it.
Tantai Shi suddenly understood why he fell on the battlefield and was not captured by the enemy, but was sent to his confidants; why the enemy generals seemed to have divine help and knew all the movements of our army; why there was no one in Liangzhou officialdom The literati came out to express their resistance to Sun Ke...
Then there's something he doesn't understand.
Why is there a tacit understanding in the entire Liangzhou City? They are all insiders, but he is the only one who is excluded.
...Don't think about it. When I was in Tantai, I told myself that you are a person with a criminal record. People like you are not trustworthy. Not telling you is the right choice...
He needed to think of something safe. Then Tantai Shi remembered that he was covered in blood, gritting his teeth and fighting on the battlefield, refusing to retreat, surrender, or give in...
"Did I... cause you trouble?" Tantaishi asked.
He thought he was trying to hinder Sun Ke, but in fact the person who was obstructing him was Lingchan.
Self-righteous loyalty is like a joke.
Lingchan thought about it seriously and nodded. She smiled and said, "Yes."
"It's so pitiful to actually inflict so many injuries on yourself."
He spoke of pity, but there was no trace of pity on his face.
She stood beside Tantai Shi's hospital bed, not even stretching her hands. She just used her eyes to scan the flesh and bones of Tantai Shi's body.
Every inch was hurt because of her.
When he was in Tantai, his eyes were blank, and he lay quietly on the bed like a piece of fine porcelain that had been broken.
"It hurts..." he murmured softly.
"Is the wound hurting again?" Lingchan asked with concern and called the imperial doctor in.
She stood aside and watched the imperial doctor busy.
Tantai looked past the figure of the imperial doctor and looked over persistently. Ling Chan frowned and said softly: "Then I won't cause trouble here. I'll see you next time."
She left without hesitation.
The crimson skirt swayed in front of the door frame, and then disappeared completely.
Tantai blinked his sore eyes.
The imperial doctor asked hesitantly: "Your Highness Prince An... why are you crying?"
…
[Chanchan,] the system said cautiously: [Isn’t it bad for us to do this? He is already on the same side as us...]
[I am only one of the same people as my employer. 】
[The original owner lost his spine, smashed his knees, and had all his bones removed by him. I want to do the same. 】
[I want him to live in an atmosphere where he is worried about gains and losses, as if he will be abandoned at any time. ] Lingchan said slowly: [If he didn't do this, how could he fight for me? 】
Softhearted?
does not exist.
The belated affection is worthless than grass, Ling Chan doesn't care about it, and the original person doesn't like it either.
…
Sun Ke's army marched south from Liangzhou with overwhelming momentum and marched forward inexorably.
It was obviously just a peasant uprising army, but it was well-equipped and well-supplied. Even its troops were well-controlled and seemed to have undergone specialized military training.
This is not something that a simple peasant rebel army can do. There must be some masters behind it.
Sun Ke, Chengli County, Liangzhou...
A name suddenly appeared in Tantai Zhi's mind.
His heart was burning, he stood up and said, "Go to the Pearl Palace and meet the noble concubine."
In the Pearl Palace, the imperial concubine was watering the flowers.
It was a precious peony. After being poured with so much water by Lingchan, the flower bones drooped sadly.
Seeing Tantai Zhi striding forward, she put down the kettle leisurely and said, "His Royal Highness is here. Why do you want to see me?"
The prince said: "Peony cannot be watered so much."
He looked at Lingchan intently, seeming to have deep meaning, "If you water the peony too much, it will grow greedy, grow its root system, and desperately strive for more water. Its dry and fragile body cannot hold it. With so much nutrition, you will only be able to stretch yourself to death in the end.”
He wasn't talking about peonies at all.
Lingchan laughed, "I've never heard of Peony saying this."
"I just think that the imperial concubine is very similar to this peony."
"I don't think so." Lingchan said, "This peony is too fragile and will die if you water it too much. I should be like the green pine that braves the frost and snow in winter, indomitable, upright and firm."
Tantai Zhi frowned and didn't seem to agree.
Lingchan smiled casually and asked lazily: "Have you sent a message to the Queen for me?"
"No." Tantai Zhi's face darkened when he thought of Ling Chan's offensive remarks that day, "My mother has never been mean to you, so why are you so mean?"
"Mean? The Empress and I probably have different ideas from you." Lingchan stroked the wet petals of the peony with her fingertips, "This pot of flowers was sent by the Empress. I think, although you didn't put me But this pot of flowers is the answer my queen gave me."
Tantai Zhi's face turned livid. He lowered his voice, but he bit each word very hard, which could be said to be gritting his teeth. "Don't drag my mother into the water. Do you know what you are doing now?"
"What to do?" Lingchan refused to accept such childish talk.
Tantai Zhi gritted his teeth and said angrily: "You are treasonous!"
Tantaishi whispered: "Sun Ke is yours! You did all this, why do you want to rebel?"
"You actually guessed it?" Lingchan said with a smile: "You, a stupid person like you who has been taught the Four Books and Five Classics to death, can accurately guess me. It really surprises me."
"Yes, it's me, you guessed it right."
She admitted without any scruples, lifted up her skirt casually, turned around and left.
Tantai Zhi strode forward. He held Ling Chan's slender waist with one hand and pressed the frail girl against the wall.
He gritted his teeth and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
"Why should I tell you?"
"Then I will expose you to my father!"
"Are you a three-year-old child?" Lingchan sneered, "Whenever you encounter something, you will only go to your father, the queen, and the queen?"
"Why don't you just kill me? Why don't you just find someone to mention me? Is it difficult to make your own decisions?"
She was being held down by Tantai Zhi, facing the wall, but Tantai Zhi was staring at the back of her head, and the girl's tired eyes were outlined in his mind.
His hand trembled, and Ling Chan immediately seized the opportunity, bent his elbow backwards, and struck Tantai hard on the waist and abdomen.
Tantai Zhi staggered backward, and Ling Chan made a killing move. She clutched her stomach in pain and was covered in cold sweat.
Lingchan clicked her tongue and kicked Tantai Zhi again, tripping him to the ground.
Lingchan squatted on the ground, grabbed Tantai Zhi's long hair, made her look up at him, and said harshly: "It's been so long, and you really haven't made any progress at all."
Tantai Zhi was lying on the ground. It turned out that the neat crown prince's crown was wrinkled like a rag, and the mighty four-clawed golden dragon was twisted into a ball.
Tantai Zhi is thin, but he is an adult male after all. He is a head taller than Ling Chan, more than that.
But he lay under Lingchan's hand and showed no resistance. He just asked with red eyes: "Why are you doing this?"
"Isn't Father treating you good enough?"
