The sky breaks through the clouds, and the wind and snow gradually subside. The mountains and rivers are covered with snow, the sky and the earth are still clothed in silver, the clouds and snow shine together, making it dazzling and cold.
A branch of calyx quietly crawled across the palace wall, blooming in the frost, reflecting the beautiful red wall, showing its icy and jade-like appearance, which is really beautiful.
When Lin Wanwan woke up, it was almost noon. The wound on her back, after Shi Manzi's careful treatment, and under the influence of the medicine, was no longer as painful as before, allowing her to sleep comfortably.
She lay on her side on the bed and looked up at Shi Manzi, who was napping beside her, feeling both grateful and guilty.
When she was in trouble, if Shi Manzi hadn't bribed the eunuch in charge, her back would have turned into a bloody mess, not to mention the medicine, a basin of cold water poured on it or a layer of fine salt sprinkled on it. It's a blessing. If Shi Manzi hadn't defended her and Su Jin in every possible way in front of the Queen Mother, she probably wouldn't be able to lie in bed peacefully at this moment.
Now she was safe, but it caused Shi Manzi to lose her original advantage in front of the Queen Mother.
When Shi Manzi gave herself the medicine, she had told him everything about her conversation with the Queen Mother. Shi Manzi's words did make the Queen Mother loosen her attitude, but after that, the Queen Mother's views on Shi Manzi may also have changed. There will be changes.
I originally thought that Shi Manzi was a dodder that was easy to control, but in the blink of an eye it turned into a clump of pliable and durable pampas grass. I am afraid that the Queen Mother may not be as fond of Shi Manzi as before. She is more or less aware of it now. There will be concerns. After all, what the Queen Mother wants is a daughter-in-law who can obey her, not a woman who will argue with herself for the sake of others.
A touch of sadness gently rippled out from Lin Wanwan's silent eyes.
Even though she knew that entering the palace this time was inherently dangerous, she still believed that she could avert the danger and not implicate others. Unexpectedly, it backfired because she thought about the world too simply and was too conceited, and ended up getting involved. Shi Manzi.
She once asked Su Jin why she wanted to have a close relationship with Luo Huaizhou while trying every possible means to destroy his country and his family? Why should we hurt and think about how to make up for it at the same time? It was obvious that he was plotting against Luo Huaizhou, but he still wanted to protect him.
But now, isn't she doing the same to Luo Huaizhou and Shi Manzi? Although she never meant to hurt them, she still hurt them anyway.
If you are not a person in the game, how can you experience the helplessness and struggle of being in the game? One side is Tao, the other side is righteousness. How to choose and how to make decisions? Only when you are truly involved can you know how difficult each step is.
Looking back now, Su Jin at that time not only had to struggle in the whirlpool of morality, but also had to bear her cynicism... How lonely and desolate must he have been in his heart at that time? She claimed to understand him, but she had never really put herself in his shoes.
Even though there are thousands of flashes and bustling people, no one can understand him. He seems to be walking alone in the world, silently and calmly, swallowing all the bitterness and bitterness into his mouth, like a gentle breeze and drizzle, passing through the world lightly, Never disturbed others in the slightest.
Thinking of this, Lin Wanwan seemed to see the person sitting side by side by the lake with her on the Mid-Autumn moonlit night.
The clear light of the moonlight fell on him, and it looked bright and dazzling, but it seemed that nothing could shine into his dark heart, as if it was already a deserted place, and no matter how windy or rainy it was, there was no hope. Only a pair of vicissitudes of life eyes and the loneliness covered by the falling moon.
He said: "Then just hate it. Things are impermanent. Since we can't change the direction of our destiny, we must always try to widen the road under our feet. We can't just limit ourselves to that inch of heaven and earth. Perhaps, if we overcome the thorns on the road ahead, we will be the leader of the mountain. The water is vast and the future is promising.”
Lin Wanwan felt a lump in her throat, and then an unspeakable sour feeling surged into her heart. The emotions flowing deep in her eyes were extremely turbulent, as if something was about to overflow.
Just when Lin Wanwan was immersed in chaotic thoughts and couldn't extricate herself, suddenly, the door was pushed open, followed by an anxious shout.
"Xiao Yue Wan, Xiao Yue Wan!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Shi Manzi suddenly woke up from her sleep, opened her eyes immediately, and turned to look at the person.
I saw Luo Huaizhou standing under the door. The former suave young man now had messy hair, a haggard face, and a pair of bloodshot eyes. His brocade clothes and robes were already in tatters, and he was covered in dust and dirt. He looked extremely miserable.
Shi Manzi stared at Luo Huaizhou blankly, her gentle eyes seemed to be illuminated by skylight, and suddenly they lit up. The sleepiness in her eyes disappeared in an instant, leaving only surprise.
She quietly wiped the corners of her eyes and hurriedly approached Luo Huaizhou. She looked at Luo Huaizhou with a hint of worry and asked, "My lord, are you not injured?"
Luo Huaizhou looked at the concern in Shi Manzi's eyes, a smile appeared on his lips, and then he opened his arms and spun around in a circle, jokingly saying: "Look, young master, I am so blessed and blessed, how can I get hurt? "
Seeing that he had regained his energy as before, Shi Manzi finally breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but cover her lips with a smile, joy flying to her brows.
"You still want to joke, it seems those bandits didn't make things difficult for you." While Luo Huaizhou and Shi Manzi were talking, Lin Wanwan had calmed down her emotions, stood up from the bed, and was looking at the two people under the door with a clear smile. people.
"Xiao Yue Wan, are you okay?" Luo Huaizhou heard the sound, quickly put away his playful smile, walked quickly into the room, took Lin Wanwan and looked him up and down, frowned and asked, "I heard that my mother punished you. , is it serious?"
Lin Wanwan smacked his dirt-stained hand off without politeness, turned around in a circle, raised her eyebrows and said, "I am blessed with great fortune, what can happen to me?"
After saying that, Lin Wanwan took Shi Manzi's arm, winked at her and said, "Besides, there is still Manzi here. Those palace people are just showing off, so don't worry."
Shi Manzi understood immediately and knew that Yue Wan did not want to tell Prince Lu about her injury to avoid making him feel guilty and blame himself. She looked at Lin Wanwan and then at Luo Huaizhou, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded: " Prince, please rest assured, the moonlight will be fine."
Seeing Shi Manzi's eyes twinkling, Luo Huaizhou felt suspicious. He was about to ask, but Lin Wanwan interrupted him: "By the way, how did you come back? Who rescued you? Have you seen Su?" ...Boss Su?”
When Luo Huaizhou heard this, his expression froze and he hurriedly avoided Lin Wanwan's questioning gaze. A trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, with a hint of self-blame.
Lin Wanwan's heart suddenly sank when she saw Luo Huaizhou's expression was different, and an ominous premonition spread instantly. She stared at Luo Huaizhou for a moment. Her eyes seemed calm, but deep in her eyes there were waves. Her hands, as white as jade, tightly grasped the clothes on her body, as if she was using her strength to relieve the pain in her heart. Uneasy, a thin layer of sweat gradually formed on the palms of my hands.
After a while, she saw her lips moving with difficulty and asked, "What's wrong with him?"
"Jing Qian...it was Jing Qian who rescued me..." Luo Huaizhou lowered his eyes sadly, with worry in his brows, and blamed himself, "It's all my fault. If it weren't for me, Jing Qian wouldn't have taken the risk." It’s a copycat, and you won’t be seriously injured…”
