Chapter 698: Helping the sick and walking with shadows in the window

Her eyes couldn't help but feel moist, but she pretended to be strong and smiled.

"He's gone and I don't know where he went."

"To him, I am nothing more than a calculation by him. Perhaps, I am not even a chess piece on his chessboard."

Xuanqing looked at her appearance at this moment and felt moved in his heart.

He wanted to wipe away the tears on her face, but he couldn't. This woman had no heart and was not worthy of sympathy. ,

So, he snorted softly, full of ridicule.

"You also have today. It's really a turn of events, and you're not going to get retribution."

Yin Luzhu didn't get angry as Xuanqing thought. She just lowered her head and said, "Maybe."

Xuanqing: "..."

"Is Wangyue okay?" In the silence, Yin Luzhu suddenly changed the topic.

Hearing this, Xuanqing smiled sarcastically, "You are already a prisoner, but you still have time to pay attention to others? Why, do you think Wangyue can save you?"

Yin Luzhu stopped talking and just looked quietly out the window at the gradually sinking sky.

Seeing that she was silent, Xuanqing just stared at her silently.

When they met again this time, he found that Yin Luzhu seemed to have changed. He no longer had the fierceness and arrogance he had before, as if his pride had been broken.

Thinking of this, a flash of approval flashed in his eyes.

Probably only in this way could she be so amiable in front of him.

He also always felt that as a woman, she should not get involved in men's disputes. Women should rely on men in the back house, instead of entering the court and hoping to gain power like her.

If that were true, wouldn't the world be in chaos?

After a long time, he said: "She is very good. She takes care of trivial matters for the orphan in the harem. She is very like a mother of the country."

"In that case, why don't you make her your queen? Instead, take the position of noble concubine?"

"Queen? Ha!"

Xuanqing looked at Yin Luzhu with a faint smile, "If you want to be Gu's queen, you must have a huge family power. Wang Yue does not have that. She has no background and cannot help Gu consolidate the imperial power, so she can only be a noble concubine."

After a pause, Xuanqing said again.

"Wang Yue is an orphan girl. If she wasn't an orphan, how could she live such a noble life now? She is already content. Unlike you... your ambition is sky-high and your heart is higher than the sky. She is destined to climb high and fall hard."

Yin Luzhu was not angry even though he was belittling himself with every word.

What about women?

She just wanted to use the woman's body that everyone looked down upon to trample everyone under her feet, including the overlord of the world, Gu Tingfang!

"Yin Luzhu, I actually feel that rather than fighting in the turbulent court, you should study poetry and poetry to enrich yourself."

"To be honest, your Majesty, poetry and prose are very simple things to me. Why do I need to learn them?"

"Ha!" Xuanqing glanced at her sarcastically.

"Yin Luzhu, you are still so conceited."

"..."

Yin Luzhu looked at him silently, seeing the irony in his eyes. She snorted coldly and took the pen and paper on the desk.

After thinking for a moment, he went up.

Xuanqing felt that she was being mysterious, but he didn't interrupt her.

After a while, Yin Luzhu put down his pen and said, "Take a look."

Xuanqing stretched out his hand to take it. When he saw the small regular script on the hairpin, he was slightly stunned. This font was so beautiful.

And what she wrote...

Xuanqing opened her thin lips and read slowly.

"The autumn night is long, the moon is bright, and the sick steps follow the shadow of the window."
