His voice was vague, Ji Ting froze for a moment and asked, "What did you say?"
However, Shen Tuchuan had lost his voice and completely passed out. Ji Ting hurriedly hugged him, and clasped his back tightly with both hands to prevent him from falling to the ground suddenly. Just as she was calling for help, she suddenly felt a little wetness on her hands, she didn't have time to delve into it, and when the palace servants arrived, they immediately supported Shen Tuchuan together, and after a period of chaos, they helped him to the bed in the side hall.
"Where's the imperial doctor? When will he be here?" Ji Ting frowned and asked, rolling up his sleeves to twist the handkerchief.
"Mother, your hand..." Mammy exclaimed.
Ji Ting was stunned for a moment, and when she looked down, she saw that her fingertips were slightly stained with blood. She stared blankly at Shen Tuchuan, who was still in a coma, and hurriedly said, "Turn him over quickly."
"Yes, yes!" Nanny didn't know the reason, but still rushed forward to help, and turned the person over with Ji Ting, and Shen Tuchuan immediately lay face down.
Ji Ting glanced at the sweat-like marks on his back, and went to untie his belt with a solemn face, and the nanny hurriedly said: "Mother, let the servants do this rough work."
"No need." Ji Ting calmly helped him undress carefully.
The nanny hesitated to speak several times when she saw this, and wanted to remind her not to be too close to Shen Tuchuan, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything, she just turned her head and told the others to back off. She has been in the deep palace for many years, and she has never seen anything, and now she can roughly guess the relationship between Ji Ting and Shen Tuchuan.
Mammy was secretly frightened, but she had to help them deal with it, because once the incident happened, everyone in Fengqi Palace would not be able to survive, including herself.
Ji Ting didn't know what Nanny was thinking, but concentrated on helping Shen Tuchuan undress. The outer shirt was quickly taken off, but the inner shirt was stuck to the body with blood, and it was difficult to take off. With a slight movement, Shen Tuchuan could feel the tension. Ji Ting was sweating unknowingly, and couldn't tear off his clothes for a long time.
She was silent for a moment, then frowned and looked at Mammy: "Bring a basin of hot water, and a pair of scissors."
"Yes." Mammy turned her head and went to do it, and soon came back with what she wanted.
Ji Ting twisted the hot water with a handkerchief, and let it fall on Shen Tuchuan's back, the hot water melted the solidified blood a lot, making it easier for Ji Ting to lift it up again. She used scissors to tear off the lifted clothes bit by bit, and quickly removed all the rags stuck to his body, and Shen Tuchuan's bloody back was completely exposed.
Looking at his wound, Ji Ting gradually frowned: "Nurse, go see if the imperial physician has arrived."
"Yes."
After Mammy turned and left, she saw that Shen Tuchuan's fingertips seemed to move, and then made a vague sound. She hurriedly knelt on the footrest, and put her ear close to his lips: "What did you say?"
"It's a bit cold..." Shen Tuchuan murmured.
The corner of Ji Ting's lips twitched: "I took off all your clothes, it's naturally cold, you just wait, wait until the imperial doctor bandages it up for you, then you can put on your clothes."
Shen Tuchuan opened his eyes slightly, and stared at her for a long time, but when Ji Ting thought he had something to say to him, he closed his eyes. Ji Ting was speechless for a moment, so he had to sit aside and wait. Fortunately, the imperial physician came soon, followed by Eunuch Li.
Taking advantage of the time when the imperial doctor was bandaging Shen Tuchuan, Ji Ting and Eunuch Li went to the outside room. As soon as the two of them stood still, she couldn't wait to ask: "How are my parents doing now?"
"Your Majesty is only worried about Mrs. Ji Shangshu Ji, but not at all worried about Lord Governor?" The troubles during this period were all caused by Ji's family, and Eunuch Li was very upset, and he lost his face when he heard Ji Ting , "That's right, Lord Governor is just a slave in the eyes of the empress. How can a slave be as important as a family member?"
Ji Ting paused, and his brows gradually frowned: "If you feel that Shen Tuchuan has some grievances and want to defend him, then just say it, and if you don't tell me, how will I know what he did? ?”
Besides, she had seen Shen Tuchuan's injury with her own eyes. Now that the imperial physician was treating him inside, she could just ask the imperial physician if she wanted to ask anything. At least she could ask Shen Tuchuan herself when Shen Tuchuan woke up. Why bother to ask Eunuch Li.
"If the servant said it, the empress would feel distressed?" Eunuch Li snorted, "Then the servant should tell the empress well that in order to save dozens of lives in your Ji family, the governor tore apart the second prince and his party. Confession, poisoned and killed all the accomplices involved in the rebellion. The emperor thought that the governor was not effective, so he rewarded him with dozens of boards. These days, he has been busy stabilizing the overall situation and helping the Ji family to cover up. The wound on his body has never healed for a day After taking care of him, the empress saw the slave, but she didn't ask him where the injury came from, can't the slave feel wronged for the governor?"
Thinking about the current power and status of their supervisor of ceremonies, not to mention a small concubine, even the prime minister of the court, that is not to be taken seriously. He is still willing to talk to Ji Ting at this moment, it is entirely because of the governor For the sake of your lord, otherwise, what you say will be a hundred times worse than it is now.
Ji Ting looked at him blankly, but he never thought that Shen Tuchuan would do this for himself, and his mood became complicated for a while.
Eunuch Li looked at the little girl standing there helplessly, his bitter breath stopped immediately, and he slowed down his voice after a long while: "Forget it, you didn't know about Ji Shangshu's momentary confusion, and it wasn't you who was injured by the governor." If you wish, you can just pretend that I was complaining just now... But the Lord Governor's injury was indeed for you, and you should be more or less responsible."
"Then, how should I be responsible?" Ji Ting asked hurriedly.
Eunuch Li glanced at her, and coughed for a while: "He's busy with state affairs and doesn't spare his body, why don't you leave him in Fengqi Palace for a few days and watch him change his medicine every day?"
"I also want to leave him to take care of him personally, but if he doesn't go back to the Supervisor of Rituals, will someone spread gossip against him?" Ji Ting looked worried.
Eunuch Li was a little disdainful: "Don't worry, no one in the palace dares to spread gossip about the governor."
Ji Ting nodded, agreeing. Eunuch Li's complexion improved a bit: "Then it's settled like this. You don't need to let the governor know about the conversation between you and me today... I have something to do today, so why don't you tell the governor, I have something else to do, let's go first. The Lord will leave it to you."
After scolding and scolding and talking, he finally remembered that the woman in front of him was not an ordinary concubine, but the woman whom the governor put on his heart to protect. If the governor knew what he just said, it would probably be ten words. The legs are not enough to be broken.
After Ji Ting agreed, Eunuch Li turned and left, and she also went back to wait in the room. Shen Tuchuan had already woken up at this moment, his body was wrapped in a thick layer of white cloth, covering the wound, and his appearance was indescribably funny. He glanced at Ji Ting, obviously not very satisfied with himself now.
Ji Ting smiled, walked to the imperial physician and asked about the situation, the imperial physician wiped off his sweat and said: "Master Governor, there is nothing serious, but the injury has not been taken care of carefully, and now it is a bit inflamed, and we need to change the medicine more frequently in the future." .”
The imperial doctor ordered some other matters, and Ji Ting asked the nanny to send him away, and she and Shen Tuchuan were the only ones left in the room.
Having not seen each other for a long time, Ji Ting quietly looked at his eyebrows, as if he couldn't get enough of them. Shen Tuchuan was still dissatisfied with the white cloth wrapped around him, and was about to tear it off when he heard Ji Ting's displeased voice: "I see you dare to move!"
Shen Tuchuan paused, frowned and looked at her: "So what?"
Ji Ting glanced at him, covered him with a thin quilt, and blocked the white cloth on his body: "If you dare to move, I will never talk to you in this life."
"Children's temperament seems to be someone who can get along with children." Shen Tuchuan seemed to be very disdainful, but seeing her serious eyes, he moved his fingers that were about to pull the white cloth, and made no further moves.
Ji Ting was speechless: "...can you match the previous sentence?"
"Why, you don't like children?" Shen Tuchuan raised his eyebrows.
Ji Ting shrugged: "That's not true, children are cute, I always like them."
"That's good." Shen Tuchuan lay still on his stomach.
Only then was Ji Ting satisfied, and after helping him arrange the pillow more comfortably, he suddenly said, "Thank you."
Shen Tuchuan's ears moved: "Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for keeping my family." Ji Ting looked at him sincerely, if she wasn't afraid of scaring him, she really wanted to kneel down and kowtow a few times.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at her lightly: "As I said just now, I misunderstood you once and helped you again, which is considered compensation."
Ji Ting lowered her head and smiled, she stroked her hair and inadvertently fell to her cheek, the sun shone on it, and she could see little dust scattered on her hair. Shen Tuchuan's fingers were a little itchy, and he really wanted to help her brush her hair behind her ears, but it was a pity that he just thought about it, and Ji Ting had already done so.
There was a sudden silence in the room. The two of them were lying on their sides, and the other was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at each other quietly. After a long time, Ji Ting blinked suddenly: "Before you fell into a coma today, what did you say to me?"
"What?" Shen Tuchuan frowned, and suddenly fell silent after thinking of something.
Ji Ting got closer: "I didn't hear clearly at the time, do you remember what you said?"
"I was in such pain, how could I remember." Shen Tuchuan said and closed his eyes.
Ji Ting couldn't give up: "Think about it again, you should be able to remember it."
"I'm tired, don't talk," Ji Ting wanted to ask, but he opened his eyes to look at her, and the exhaustion in his eyes appeared in front of her without any concealment, "Ji Ting, I haven't had a good night's sleep for a long time."
"...Then go to sleep, I won't bother you anymore." Ji heard that he was about to stand up.
"Sit down," Shen Tuchuan pursed his lips, and added after a while, "What if someone comes to assassinate me? You sit here and watch, I'll be more at ease."
Ji Ting wanted to say that if there really were assassins, she probably wouldn't be enough to sharpen the assassins' knives, so it's better to ask a few guards to come in and guard them, but seeing Shen Tuchuan's exhausted look, she didn't say anything, just being obedient nodded.
Shen Tuchuan closed his eyes again, and soon fell into a deep sleep. There are two inconspicuous lines between his brows, which can be seen from frequent frowning. Although the brows and eyes are calm at the moment, Ji Ting can't help stretching out his fingertips to press on that spot, and after a moment's pause, he secretly withdraws his hand like a thief. .
The sun outside the window was gradually setting, and without the care of the sun, the room seemed a bit cold. Ji Ting won't wrong herself, so she got up and went back to her dormitory to find a cloak, put it on before returning to Shentuchuan's room, but as soon as she entered the room, she saw that he had woken up and was looking at the door with his eyes open. As soon as he came in, he stared at him.
"You woke up so soon?" Ji Ting was surprised.
Shen Tuchuan gave her a displeased look: "Don't you want to stay with me all the time?"
"I went back to get some clothes and suddenly felt a little cold." Ji Ting came over and helped him tuck the corner of the quilt. After a while, candles were already lit in the room, and the dim yellow candlelight softened the brows and eyes of the two of them a lot.
"Do you feel better, is your back still hurting?" Ji Ting asked.
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment: "It's okay."
"If it hurts especially, just tell me, and I'll ask the imperial doctor to think about a solution." Ji Ting urged.
Shen Tuchuan responded, and after she sat down, he turned to look at her, stared at her quietly for a while, and then suddenly said, "I'm hungry."
"The small kitchen is under construction, and it will be ready later." Ji Hearing said, the mother outside said that dinner is ready, and she immediately turned her head to look at Shen Tuchuan, "Let me help you to eat."
"Um."
As soon as Shen Tuchuan agreed, Ji Ting got up and stood by the bed, helped him up with his arms, then lowered his head to straighten his boots, and when he stood up straight, he knelt down and supported his calves, helping him He puts his boots on. Shen Tuchuan looked down at her busy figure, his eyes showed a little emotion.
"Okay, let me help you there." Ji Ting stood up and laughed.
Shen Tuchuan lowered his eyes, and put an arm directly on her shoulder. Ji Ting was suddenly embraced by his breath. After a moment of stunned, he supported his body in embarrassment, and moved slowly outside.
It took a lot of effort just to sit down at the table. Ji Ting was already very hungry when he sat down, and after making sure that Shen Tuchuan could eat by himself, he didn't care about him anymore, but Shen Tuchuan kept helping her add food.
Every time Ji Ting ate a good dish, he told the nanny to make another one, Shen Tuchuan frowned: "These are not enough for you?"
"Enough is enough." Ji Ting smiled, but didn't say anything else.
Shen Tuchuan didn't ask any further questions, and after the two of them finished their dinner, Ji Ting helped him back to the bed: "You can rest in Fengqi Palace for a few days, so that I won't have to run to the Supervisor of Rituals."
Shen Tuchuan glanced at her, neither agreed nor disagreed, Ji Ting knew that he was willing to stay, so he didn't persuade her much, and got up to leave after dinner.
Shen Tuchuan frowned: "What are you doing so early when you go back?"
"Do you have anything else to do?" Ji Ting was puzzled.
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment: "It's nothing."
"If it's okay, I'll leave first, you can rest." After Ji heard about it, he called two people in and helped him to bed to rest.
Every day after that, Ji Ting stayed by his side as much as possible, but left in a hurry every time after eating, and would come back to accompany him after a long time. It was like this for several days. After another lunch, Ji Ting left in a hurry, and Shen Tuchuan finally couldn't hold back and followed.
The wound on his back had begun to scab, so he couldn't move too much, so he could only walk forward slowly. When he followed him to the backyard, Ji Ting had already entered a room. He paused for a moment, then raised his feet and walked towards the house, just as he reached the door, he heard Ji Ting's voice—
"This is really delicious. I just tasted it today. It's sweet and nourishing. You should drink more."
Shen Tuchuan paused for a moment, and as soon as he frowned, he heard a clear male voice saying embarrassedly: "Madam, in fact, I can do it myself, you don't have to feed it yourself every time."
"You were injured because of me. I should take care of you. Eat quickly and try to walk after eating. The imperial doctor said that you recovered very quickly..."
What was said later, Shen Tuchuan couldn't hear clearly, he only knew that a wave of anger rose from his dantian and rushed directly to his forehead. If he didn't have a sliver of reason, he really wanted to rush in and drag Ji Ting out.
In the room, Ji Ting didn't know that he was being listened to in the corner. After feeding Lin Lang carefully, he packed the leftover dishes into food boxes and walked out of the house with them.
After she put the food box in the small kitchen, she turned around and went to look for Shen Tuchuan. She thought that Shen Tuchuan should rest at this time, but when she entered the room, she saw him sitting on a chair outside, with a face like cast iron in the cold winter months. It was cold and hard. She paused: "Are you in a bad mood?"
"What's the relationship between you and Lin Lang?" Shen Tuchuan's eyes darkened.
Ji Ting was stunned: "What's the relationship'?"
"Who is he to you? Why do you have to serve him yourself? Have you always taken care of him like this these days?" Shen Tuchuan stood up suddenly, ignoring the sharp pain in his back, "He is a little eunuch With your dignified Ji concubine to serve?"
"He was injured because of me, so what if I took care of him?" Ji Ting was forced to take a step back by his aura, but couldn't help but talk back, "Besides, if you didn't discriminate between black and white, you would stick him to death, How could he be hurt?"
"Is it still my fault?" Shen Tuchuan's expression became even worse.
Ji Ting swallowed her saliva: "I didn't mean to blame you, I just don't like your tone when you talk about Lin Lang. Wouldn't it be nice to respect him?"
"Respect? Why does he make me respect?" Shen Tuchuan's eyes became colder and colder.
Ji Ting was silent for a moment: "You are still hurt, I don't want to quarrel with you." After she finished speaking, she turned to leave, but Shen Tuchuan grabbed her wrist and dragged her into the room.
Ji Ting was dragged away by him, and gradually panicked: "You, what are you going to do?"
Shen Tuchuan didn't say a word, just dragged her away, the palace servants in the room were all frightened, and no one dared to go forward to persuade her. The maid who was serving Ji Ting personally finally mustered up her courage, and just as she took a step forward, she heard Shen Tuchuan's cold order: "Bring some snacks."
"Ah... yes!" The maid ran out in a daze.
After Shen Tuchuan dragged Ji Ting into the room, he slammed the door shut. Ji Ting immediately covered his collar vigilantly: "What are you going to do? Shen Tuchuan, I warn you not to go too far, you really think I won't be angry with you..."
"The injury on my back was caused to protect your Ji family." Shen Tuchuan said impatiently.
Ji Ting shut her mouth in an instant. Eunuch Li had already told her about these things, but when she listened to them again, the feeling was different.
Shen Tuchuan saw that she stopped talking, and the anger in his heart subsided a little, but he was still upset: "Now because of the quarrel with you, the scab that had just formed has cracked again."
"Cracked? Show me!" Ji Ting suddenly became anxious.
Shen Tuchuan was about to speak when there was a knock on the door: "Ma'am, Governor, the snacks are here."
He glanced at Ji Ting indifferently, turned around and opened the door, took two large plates of dim sum in his hands, and kicked the door shut.
Shen Tuchuan: "Hey me."
"Huh?" Ji Ting was taken aback for a moment.
Shen Tuchuan pursed his lips and repeated: "Hey me."
After Ji Ting understood it, he was speechless for a while: "...Lin Lang needs someone to feed him because his arm was broken by your people. Your arm is fine, why do you still..."
"The wound seems to be bleeding." Shen Tuchuan said lightly.
Ji Ting suddenly shut up, squeezed a snack from the plate in his hand and fed it to him: "Is it sweet?"
Shen Tuchuan finished eating with a blank expression, and then said displeasedly: "It's okay."
Ji Ting smirked: "Then can the imperial doctor come and look at it for you?"
"I haven't eaten well yet." Shen Tuchuan looked at her calmly.
Ji Ting continued to feed him speechlessly, and slowly felt the joy, speeding up viciously, watching his face become bulging. Lord Governor, who had a cold demeanor, had his mouth full. No matter how funny this scene looked, Ji Ting suppressed his smile, and continued feeding with an innocent face. Soon, the two large plates of snacks were gone.
"Why don't you ask someone to send you two more dishes?" Ji Ting pretended to be concerned.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at her, and before opening his mouth to refuse, he hiccupped loudly, and the room was instantly silent.
After a long time, Ji Ting spoke with difficulty: "I pretended I didn't hear anything, can you stop killing me?"
Shen Tuchuan: "..."
The vinegar he ate was inexplicably neutralized by the snacks, and Shen Tuchuan's anger subsided a lot unconsciously. After the imperial physician re-bandaged him, he came to Lin Lang's room.
Seeing him frightened and frightened, Lin Lang hurriedly went down to the ground to salute. Shen Tuchuan looked at him coldly: "Fifty acres of fertile land in the south of the Yangtze River, a house with two entrances and two exits, and ten servants who are indentured, are you satisfied with this?" ?”
When Lin Lang knelt down on the ground with difficulty, his back was already covered with cold sweat. Hearing what he said, he didn't react for a while: "Huh?"
"I attacked you without finding out the truth that day. This is an apology. Tomorrow I will ask someone to remove your roster from the palace, and you will be free." Shen Tuchuan finished speaking impatiently. After opening his mouth, his eyes suddenly darkened, "Of course, if you want to stay with Concubine Ji, it's not impossible."
It's just that if you want to stay, you must be a dead person.
Lin Lang has always been smart, his face turned pale after hearing his voice, and hastily kowtowed to thank: "Thank you, Lord Governor, thank you, Lord Governor..."
Shen Tuchuan was quite satisfied with his reaction: "You stay here for a while longer, and I will send you away."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and left. As soon as he went out, he almost ran into Ji Ting, who came running recklessly. He frowned and supported him, his eyes suddenly turned cold: "Run so fast, are you afraid that I will bully him?"
"Master... I just turned around to get something, why did you come here?" Ji Ting glanced into the room worriedly, and couldn't help swallowing when he saw Lin Lang kneeling on the ground in a trance. Drooling, he turned to Shen Tuchuan and said, "Your wound is not healed yet, you can't hang around outside all the time, you should go back and rest quickly."
"Do you care about me, or about him?" Shen Tuchuan took a step forward, and the tip of her nose hit his chest immediately.
Ji Ting rubbed his sore nose, and didn't let go until the last moment: "Of course I care about you, go back and rest."
"You stay with me." Shen Tuchuan said lightly.
Ji Ting wanted to refuse, but seeing Lin Lang kneeling all the time, he nodded and agreed. The two returned to Shen Tuchuan's bedroom together, Ji Ting finally couldn't help asking: "What did you ask him for?"
"It's just that I misunderstood him earlier and gave him some compensation." Shen Tuchuan said casually.
Ji Ting frowned: "Really? No bullying?"
Shen Tuchuan paused, and looked at her displeased: "He also said he didn't care about him."
"I'm just asking casually." Ji Ting hastily denied.
Shen Tuchuan sneered: "You better be."
Ji Ting curled his lips and didn't speak any more. Shen Tuchuan poured two cups of tea, took a sip of one himself, and then slowly said, "The bones on Lin Lang's body are not straight. If you don't reconnect them, you may have trouble walking in the future."
"Then what should we do?" Ji Ting suddenly became nervous.
Shen Tuchuan glanced at her displeasedly: "What's the hurry, there is a doctor outside the palace who is the best at setting bones, I will ask someone to send him there later, and I will send him back after a few days."
"Oh..." Ji Ting looked worried, "Well, you won't take the opportunity to kill him, will you?"
"Why should I kill him?"
"Because of you..." Ji Ting stopped in the middle of speaking, and then he coughed before getting up naturally, "Because you don't like him, and it's not like I can't see it."
Shen Tuchuan lowered his eyes: "He is not worthy."
... not worthy of your troubles, is it? Ji Ting heard what he meant, sighed and agreed: "In this case, then you can ask someone to take him away. His injuries are caused by me and Ji's family. If the root cause of the disease is left, I will be hurt all my life." Can't get over it."
"You are young, what are you talking about in this life?" Shen Tuchuan gave her a cold look, and then thought of something, "You said you liked children before, but is it true?"
"Why is this serious?" Ji Ting looked at him suspiciously.
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a moment: "It's best to like it, if you don't like it, then you can keep it elsewhere, you just need to bear the reputation."
Ji Ting frowned, and didn't understand what he meant even more. Just as he was about to ask, he spoke first: "Didn't you want to heal Lin Lang?"
"Yes, yes, it must be healed." Ji Ting's attention was diverted.
Shen Tuchuan stretched out his hand, Ji Ting was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he hurriedly supported him, and the two walked out together. After sending Lin Lang away, Shen Tuchuan called the supervisor of rites and went to the side hall to discuss matters. Ji Ting didn't want to disturb him, so he went back to his dormitory.
From this day onwards, Shen Tuchuan became obviously busy, and the atmosphere in the palace became more and more tense. Even Ji Ting, who was so deaf to what was going on outside the window, could feel the turmoil in it.
After three or five days in a row, Shen Tuchuan suddenly said to Ji Ting: "In the past two days, you have asked someone to clean Fengqi Palace, and there will be an imperial edict tomorrow."
"What imperial edict? The emperor is like that, can he still issue an imperial edict?" Ji Ting was puzzled.
Shen Tuchuan raised his eyelids and glanced at her: "Just wait."
"Oh..." Although Ji Ting was curious, but seeing that he didn't intend to say more, he didn't ask any further.
Early the next morning, Eunuch Li came to announce the decree. After Ji Ting received the decree, his mind was still dizzy. Seeing that Eunuch Li was about to leave, he hurriedly stopped him: "Eunuch Li, wait... I, why did I become a noble concubine? There is one more prince?" What is this all about? !
"The emperor dotes on you and is willing to give you the honor, so you can accept it." Eunuch Li congratulated with a smirk.
Ji Ting and him looked at each other for three seconds, suddenly: "Shen Tuchuan did it."
"Your concubine, please be careful, if others listen to you, you will be in trouble." Eunuch Li's smile became even more fake.
Ji Ting touched his nose embarrassingly, and didn't know what to say for a long time. After thinking for a long time, he finally thought of it: "Well, why would you give me a prince? Isn't there a few princesses in the harem who have lost their mothers and concubines? . "
She could already guess why Shen Tuchuan did this, it was nothing more than to name her an heir, so that the emperor would not be buried with him after his death. It's just that she didn't understand why she was given a prince. Even though the Ninth Prince was only six years old, he was still a prince! She was destined to be associated with power, and she only wanted to dawdle, but she was not interested in helping him fight for anything.
"The Ninth Prince is smart, there is no better choice than him. When he returns to the palace, I will show it to the empress. The empress will definitely like it very much." Eunuch Li is still perfunctory.
Ji Ting was curious: "Where is he now?"
"The current situation is turbulent, and the governor is protecting you." After Eunuch Li finished speaking, he didn't want to say any more nonsense, and after saluting, he turned and left.
Ji Ting sighed, and handed the edict in his hand to the congratulatory mother without much interest: "You like it so much, I'll give it to you."
The nanny who was about to take it over was startled: "Your Majesty, don't dare to say that!"
Ji Ting was amused by her reaction. Just as she was about to say something, she heard the news of Lin Lang's return. She hurriedly ran to the gate to look outside, and she saw a carriage coming this way.
She gave way to the side, and waited for the palace servants to carry Lin Lang into the room before stepping forward. After looking at him, she was sure that he was still in good spirits, so she couldn't help but feel relieved: "How do you feel?"
"Go back to your mother, the doctor straightened the slave's bone, the place that was always hurting is finally gone." Lin Lang seemed to be in good spirits.
Ji Ting smiled: "That's good, I think it will recover soon."
Lin Lang smiled embarrassedly when he heard the words: "Actually, the servant wants to spend more time with the empress."
"You'll be able to accompany me better when you recover quickly, and push the swing for me when the time comes." Ji Ting laughed.
Lin Lang paused for a moment, then looked at her cautiously: "Did Lord Governor not tell you?"
Ji Ting was taken aback: "What did you say?"
…
When Ji Ting came out of Lin Lang's room, her whole mind was in a trance. She knew why Shen Tuchuan sent Lin Lang away, and she also knew that Lin Lang also wanted to start a new life, but she was still bored.
She wandered aimlessly, and unknowingly came to the small kitchen, saw the sweet-scented osmanthus stuffing in it, thought about it and took away two jars.
When Shen Tuchuan took time out of his busy schedule to come to Fengqi Palace, he saw a group of people gathered around the door of Ji Ting's bedroom, he frowned and walked over: "What are you looking at?"
Hearing Shen Tuchuan's voice, the palace people hurriedly knelt down and saluted: "Join Lord Governor."
"The empress is in the house?" Shen Tuchuan asked coldly, and the palace people hurriedly responded.
He glanced at the slender box in his hand, an inconspicuous arc appeared on the corner of his lips, and after repelling all the palace people, he entered the room.
As soon as he entered the room, he could smell the smell of alcohol. Looking at Ji Ting again, his eyes were already staring straight at the table. Shen Tuchuan paused for a moment, and threw the box on the table before and after her: "It's just a royal concubine, worthy of your drinking and celebrating?"
When Ji Ting heard his voice, her eyes turned red immediately, she looked at his face quietly, and refused to say a word.
"... Who did you show this pitiful look to, and who provoked you again?" After Shen Tuchuan finished speaking, seeing that she hadn't moved the box, he picked it up and opened it again, took out the gemstone hairpin inside, and put it on with his own hands. In her hair, "This is a gift for celebration, do you like it?"
Ji Ting's tears finally fell, she sucked her nose, and looked at Shen Tuchuan fixedly: "You let Lin Lang go..."
Shen Tuchuan paused for a moment, his face suddenly froze three feet: "Are you getting drunk for him?"
"You let him go..." Ji Ting's tears fell down.
Shen Tuchuan looked at her without saying a word, with thousands of anger welling up in his eyes, and in the next second Ji Ting poured a pot of cold water over: "You can let him go, then let me go too, why don't you let me go?" Walk… "
Shen Tuchuan paused for a moment, realizing that she was not reluctant to give up Lin Lang, but also wanted to leave the palace, and his mood instantly calmed down a lot. He sat across from Ji Ting, looked at her tearful and pitiful face, and said slowly after a moment of silence: "Do you know why I asked you to raise the Ninth Prince?"
Ji Ting still only watched him cry, without saying anything.
Shen Tuchuan had no choice but to continue: "Because I want him to be the emperor, do you understand? The Ninth Prince is young and easy to control. If you become his adoptive mother, you can be the queen mother and listen to the government behind the curtain. I will help you then. You are the most powerful person in the world, isn't that better than going back to the mountains?"
Ji Ting was slightly stunned, then frowned and shook his head, with a sad expression on his face: "I don't want to be the queen mother, I want to leave the palace."
"Good boy, as the queen mother, you can go wherever you want." Shen Tuchuan said, looking at the tears in the corners of her eyes, he couldn't help but reach out to help her wipe them away.
Ji Ting looked at him steadfastly, and after a long time suddenly fell towards him, Shen Tuchuan subconsciously caught her, and was hugged by her. Shen Tuchuan's whole body was stiff and he didn't respond for a while.
Ji Ting looked up at him, his eyes slid from his brows to his tall nose bridge, and finally landed on his lips. Under the influence of alcohol, Ji Ting has always been irrational, no matter how many lifetimes she has experienced, she stared at his lips for a long time, and finally kissed him.
Shen Tuchuan clenched his hands tightly, his body was as stiff as a stone. It was the first time since he knew about life that he was so at a loss, and he didn't push her away until Ji Ting succeeded.
Her breath surrounded him, Shen Tuchuan lost his mind for a moment, hugged her with trembling hands, and deepened the kiss at the same time. Ji Ting's face was wet from crying just now. When Shen Tuchuan was close to her, he felt as if he had fallen into a gentle quagmire, unable to climb out and hide.
... He must be crazy. He knew that his life would be in danger if he continued like this, but he still couldn't control his desire to get close to her. Many images flashed through Shen Tuchuan's mind, the beginning of the tragedy of his life, his perseverance of not admitting defeat and not surrendering, and the little girl in his arms, in the end there was only one thought left -
Forget it, the whole world is given to her, not to mention a life, if she really came here for her life, then give her what she wants.
Shen Tuchuan was taken aback by his own thoughts, but felt that this should be the case.
After the kiss was over, he let go of the little girl in his arms, seeing her unsteady breath, his eyes were tender like never before. She must be happy with her, otherwise she wouldn't be so proactive. If she knew that she was doomed to fall, he should repeat the sentence she didn't hear clearly that day.
He should have told her exactly that he had fallen in love with her long before he knew it, and that she couldn't help it at the moment, instead of not saying it for so long and making her worry about gains and losses.
Just when Shen Tuchuan felt as if he was floating among the clouds, Ji Ting personally dragged him down to hell—
"Master Governor, let me kiss you, will you let me out of the palace?"
Shen Tuchuan froze suddenly: "What did you say?"
Ji Ting sniffed her nose, tears fell down again, she looked at him sadly: "Don't you like me, you said you like me that day, I know... I kiss you, you let me go Go, okay? Or, or, you can do anything else if you want, as long as you let me go, as long as you let me go... "
Shen Tuchuan's fingertips pinched into the palm of his hand, and her previous initiative turned into a sharp blade, piercing his heart one by one... It turned out that she didn't hear clearly that day, but she was just pretending to be stupid. Treating him was just because he saw that Lin Lang could leave the palace, so he wanted to give it a try.
... She was not uncontrollable from the beginning to the end, but used unscrupulous means to achieve her goal, and he was so stupid that he took her full of calculations as sincerity, and was so stupid that he would pay everything for it.
