Hidden Sky Light - Chapter 108
He is no stranger to everything in Lihe Palace.
He had accompanied her here, and when she was too busy to do anything, he would come here every day to bring her candied haws, snacks, or sesame paste, or, sometimes, just take a look at one side, and then Going to do their own thing…
Here is the memory of him being with her. When he was close, he pressed her on the dragon chair and kissed her; he should be the only one who has been to the inner hall of Lihe Hall in the court.
Originally, if there was no future of Licheng Border Pass, she was newly married to him, which was his luckiest and most affectionate time; if there was no future, he would come to Lihe Palace and she would fall into his arms. , hug him, call him brother Zi’an, call him husband…
He misses her and Anian very much.
But after the Licheng incident, she deliberately avoided him when she left.
In the past few months, she has not had any summons or oral messages, let alone seen him.
He and her seemed to have retreated to the monarch and minister unconsciously.
Just like the four years he spent in Licheng earlier, it seemed to be forgotten, indifferent and alienated.
He did it earlier, she forgot about him, and he has been standing in the city; but now, he doesn’t know what to do…
He was afraid to go back to that time.
Especially when he and she…
Time passed, and when Shen Ci’s heart gradually sank to the bottom, in the hall, she finally said, “When did you come back?”
His voice was calm and gentle, like a courtier.
“Just back.” He also said softly.
Chen Ling didn’t respond immediately, and the sound of folding over the book was in his hand.
Shen Ci looked up at her, he hadn’t seen her for a few months, how much he missed her…
When looking at her, seeing that she was thin, he didn’t want to look away, but after listening to her for a long time, he continued, “Is something wrong?”
The casualness in his tone seemed to have fallen into his heart with a blunt knife, and without cutting the blade, it slashed with the blunt weapon, making people breathless. see your majesty…”
Chen Ling’s fingertips stagnated slightly, and said lightly, “Okay.”
He waited, and there were no more words in her mouth.
It wasn’t that Shen Ci didn’t think about it earlier, but when this was really happening in front of him, the discomfort in his heart still surged uncontrollably.
Compared with her arguing with him, what made him more uncomfortable was that she put him back in the position of a courtier.
But he was originally a servant.
How did she get close to him earlier, when he got close to him at the border of Licheng, he crossed the line, and she returned to the original point, back to the boundaries that the ruler and the minister should have…
Even if he was in the palace now, no matter how he looked at her, she never looked at him.
The atmosphere in the hall was quiet and depressing. In the quiet and depressing way, Shen Ci slowly realized that even if she returned to Beijing, her estrangement from him had already begun.
After Chen Ling responded, he didn’t speak again.
After a long time, Chen Ling looked up at him, only to see that he had been looking at her.
She was familiar with him. She could see the complexity and heaviness in his eyes at a glance, and listened to him in a deep voice, “Is it because I was impulsive, are you still angry with me?”
Chen Ling said calmly, “I’m not angry, you have your position, I have mine, just calm down for a while.”
Shen Ci took a deep breath, “A Ling.”
Chen Ling said softly, “I’ll talk about it later, I still have something to do.”
He had heard this sentence at the border of Licheng…
Shen Ci looked at her.
Chen Ling said warmly, “Go out.”
Seeing that Chen Ling had lowered his head, Shen Ci said in a low voice, “A Ling, thank you, take A Nian to see my father…”
Chen Ling’s palms froze, and when he looked up again, he saw sadness in his eyes.
For him, General Shen just passed away…
Chen Ling felt soft in her heart, and said softly, “Let’s go see A Nian first.”
“A Ling, can we…” Before he finished speaking, Qi Shan hurried into the hall, “Your Majesty.”
Seeing that Shen Ci was still kneeling in the hall, Qi Shan suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The emperor’s eyes were slightly annoyed, and Qi Shan said quickly, “Your Majesty, the Duke of Jingyang is here.”
Chen Ling raised her eyebrows, just as she was about to say no, when she heard the cries from outside the hall of Lihe, Chen Ling suddenly had a headache.
“I know.” Chen Ling didn’t say anything else.
Qi Shan knew that he didn’t ask much, and quickly backed out.
Shen Ci was in the hall, and if he went out at this time, he would collide with Marquis Jingyang, who was about to faint from crying.
“A Ling.” He looked at her.
“Go to the apse, I have a mess to deal with.” Chen Ling said in a deep voice.
Shen Ci got up and seemed to remember that he should also be one of the mess.
“Come in!” Chen Ling called.
Soon, “Your Majesty, woohoo, Your Majesty!”
Crying came from outside the hall to the hall, Jingyang Hou, with tears and snot, threw himself on the ground and knelt down, “Your Majesty, I don’t know how high the sky is, and this is the only seedling in my family. I went to the north to garrison the army. How can the old minister survive! I beg Your Majesty to call the shots and recall the Nizi! Ah! Woohoo!”
One cry, two troubles, three hangs.
It’s time to cry.
There is no difference between men and women in this regard.
“Give a seat.” Chen Ling said calmly.
Qi Shan did as he did, waved his hand, and entered the two attendants who were close to him and watched the seats directly.
Jingyang Hou was surprised. No matter what, he never thought that the emperor would be like this. Jingyang Hou said embarrassedly, “Uh, there is no need for this, Your Majesty…”
Chen Ling said, “I have a migraine headache recently, sit down and talk slowly.”
Literally, noisy.
The Duke of Jingyang swallowed his saliva, sat down in embarrassment and politeness, and suddenly stopped crying.
The emperor turned around and said this. He cried and cried, and his emotions were expressed in place. Before the emperor, the remaining steps could be saved.
Jingyang Hou clenched his fists and coughed twice, sitting upright.
“Let’s go out.” Chen Ling ordered, Qi Shan and the others all backed out.
The Marquis of Jingyang did not know that Shen Ci was in the apse, but only knew that there was an emperor in the hall, so he said earnestly, “Your Majesty, Lun Chi is young and does not know the heights of the sky, where is the garrison in the north, where did he go so easily, and he did not Experience, he is just a temporary general in the Imperial Army of Beijing, if he really goes to the north, he will mislead the entire army, how can this be done?”
The Duke of Jingyang decided to move with love and understand with reason.
In the apse, Shen Ci just thought he heard it wrong, and now he knows that Zhao Lunchi really went to the north to garrison.
Zhao Lunchi…
Shen Ci was also surprised.
In the hall, after Jingyang Hou finished speaking, he looked at the emperor eagerly and waited for the emperor to speak. Who would have thought that the emperor said, “Jingyang Hou has been overly concerned, he will not mislead the army, he was not a general in the past, he was a **** in the past. If you start, you won’t be able to control the battle situation.”
Jingyang Hou froze: “…”
Jingyang Hou 100,000 didn’t expect that at the moment, he couldn’t take care of anyone else, and he said dumbfounded, “Well, that’s even worse! It’s not easy…”
The Marquis of Jingyang suddenly realized that he had made a slip of the tongue, and saw the emperor looking at him.
The Duke of Jingyang sat back again and said solemnly, “The old minister means that he doesn’t know anything…”
Chen Ling interrupted: “That’s why he told me that he doesn’t want to be a dude, and wants to go to the north.”
“This…” Jingyang Hou was a little flustered, and an idea came to his mind, “Yes, but he still has a marriage contract with the Qu family. If there is something wrong with going to the north, Jingyang Hou’s residence can’t explain it to the Qu family. what!”
Chen Ling reached out and picked up a book, and said in a low voice, “He didn’t tell you? He took the initiative to break up the engagement with Qu Bianying.”
“Ah! This! This villain!” Jingyang Hou stood up again angrily, this marriage, said so clearly, Jingyang Hou’s mansion has fallen, but now the Qu family is different, he has this marriage with Qu Bianying Do whatever you want!
But, he actually took the initiative to dissolve the engagement!
Jingyang Hou turned pale with anger, and he didn’t care about anyone else, and said angrily, “This pervert!”
Chen Ling replayed the excerpt in his hand.
The Marquis of Jingyang suddenly remembered that he was arrogant. It was lawless in front of the emperor. The Marquis of Jingyang sat down again, “Your Majesty, the old minister is disrespectful.”
Chen Ling glanced at him and continued, “Jingyang Hou’s mansion has been established for more than a hundred years, and Zhao Lunchi suddenly had such thoughts, I admire it.”
“Your Majesty, Your Majesty…” Jingyang Hou was stunned.
Chen Ling looked at the book and said, “He is trapped in the capital, like a bird, with all its wings broken, it’s better to fight, what’s wrong?”
Shen Ci inexplicably remembered the earlier time.
——I want to be a great general~ Ride the horse and whip the whip, gallop across the border, and defend the home and the country.
——It’s fine here, guarding His Highness is guarding the great rivers and mountains of Yan Han.
That was when he was young, he was staying in Beijing, and he was longing for the border, but he wanted to protect Chen Ling at that time…
There seemed to be some things in Shen Ci’s heart that had been overlooked earlier, which gradually became clear a little bit, and they were strung together again.
In the hall, Chen Ling suddenly asked, “Isn’t Young Master Jingyang also in the capital? The Marquis of Jingyang’s mansion is the mansion of the Marquis of the Army, and Marquis Jingyang also grew up on horseback, so you didn’t want to go to the border?”
Jingyang Hou was stunned, the emperor didn’t mention it, he wouldn’t think of the earlier time.
Seeing him stunned, Chen Ling continued, “He came to ask me, and I agreed. The rest is between your father and son. Either he will persuade you or you will persuade him, your father and son have a heart-to-heart relationship. But as a Sovereign minister, I think he has the backbone. Since he wants to be the son-in-law of the Zhao family, why not let him go?”
Chen Ling looked at him, “Is it really that good to be a young eagle that can’t fly all the time?”
Jingyang Hou was stunned.
Chen Ling said again, “I’m not worried, let him go to the border gate, what’s Jingyang Hou’s worry about? Don’t let him go to the border gate now, after a hundred years of Jingyang Hou, who will protect the Zhao family, just take a step by step , or rely on a few illegitimate children of the Duke of Jingyang outside?”
Jingyang Hou’s face turned red, and he stopped talking for a while.
Chen Ling continued, “Since he is young, he should do what he did when he was young, and there is no need for the boss to be sad.”
The Duke of Jingyang remained silent.
“Jingyang Hou’s mansion was also a military man’s mansion earlier. Zhao is the surname of the country, and the surname is Zhao. What kind of glory was it in those days, did the Duke of Jingyang forget it?” Chen Ling finished.
Marquis Jingyang seemed to be filled with enthusiasm that was suppressed when he was young, and he was also eager to move in his heart.
Chen Ling continued, “Since his surname is Zhao, he should straighten his back and do what he should do! How can he be a descendant of the Zhao family if he eats and waits to die in Beijing! How can he be a descendant of your Jingyang Houfu! “
Marquis Jingyang cupped his hands and said tremblingly, “Your Majesty, the old minister is confused!”
“Go, Zhao Lunchi can’t go north so fast.” Chen Ling’s words were exhausted.
“Old minister retire!”
After Jingyang Hou left, Chen Ling called out, “Supervisor.”
Qi Shan entered.
Chen Ling instructed, “I take a break, don’t let anyone come.”
“Yes.” Knowing that General Shen was here, Qishan felt a little unhappy in the palace just now, and he was so troubled by the Duke of Jingyang. Qishan knew that the emperor had no intention of seeing others, so he immediately withdrew.
Chen Ling rested for a while at the same place, and then raised the curtain and went to the inner hall.
Shen Ci is still there.
It was only after entering the inner hall that he saw Shen Ci sitting on the small couch in a trance.
As if hearing her footsteps, Shen Ci looked up at her, and she saw that his eyes were red.
Shen Ci looked at her, his voice a little hoarse, “You asked me to go to Licheng because I told you that I wanted to go to the border, ride the horse and whip, gallop on the battlefield, and defend the home and the country, right?”
Chen Ling looked at him.
Shen Ci continued, “You specifically asked me to follow General Liu, because I told you that my grandfather passed away. In the Yanhan Army, the general I respected the most was General Liu, so you asked me to Licheng. Frontier, let me follow Old General Liu, right?”
Chen Ling stepped forward, “Shen Ci…”
As soon as he finished speaking, he hugged her tightly and buried his head in her arms, “Chen Ling!”
From the moment she left Licheng, to the death of her father, to the matter of her brother, he seemed to have only this moment, even if his heart was ups and downs, but it was peaceful, as if time passed silently, but it was also silent , There is also a gentle embrace around him, holding him in his arms.
He said in a deep voice, “A Ling, my father passed away.”
“My father passed away…”
“A Ling, I don’t have a father anymore.”
Chen Ling hugged him tightly, he trembled slightly.
