Ji Ting slept until noon, and when he woke up, he felt a pain in his head. The little maid found that she was awake, and hurriedly came over with sober soup: "Your Majesty, you are awake."
Ji Ting frowned and drank a bowl of decoction, and when she finished the last sip, her mind gradually cleared up, remembering what happened yesterday, her mind rumbled, and her whole body felt as if it had been struck by lightning.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's the matter with you?" The little maid looked at her worriedly.
Ji Ting snapped back to his senses, stared blankly at her for a long time before saying in a panic: "No, nothing, you all go down first, let me calm down."
"... yes." The little palace maid hurriedly called the others out, and Ji Ting was the only one left in the room.
When the door was closed, Ji Ting let out a whimper and buried her face in the quilt until her face was flushed, and then she came out of it with nothing to love, staring at the bed curtain with absent-minded eyes.
...She actually, she even insulted Shen Tuchuan when she was drunk, and even talked nonsense. The reason why she pretended not to have heard what Shen Tuchuan said before was simply because she felt that she also had him in her heart, and once she found out, there were only two ways to communicate with each other and never communicate with each other.
But she is a concubine, the emperor's concubine, if she gets along with Shen Tuchuan, wouldn't she be a woman with corrupt morals? Ji Ting didn't want to be like this, but she was even more reluctant to say goodbye to him, so she could only perfunctory for the time being, and then tell him in person after she came up with a solution... But she didn't expect that after drinking too much, she would say this It's leaked! Combined with what she said and what she did, Shen Tuchuan must have thought that she deliberately seduced her for leaving the palace!
Thinking of Shen Tuchuan's expression at that time, her heart was more than regret.
She has always had the habit of being unable to control herself after drinking, so after discovering this problem of hers, she seldom drank alcohol. She didn't expect that she drank once yesterday and caused such a big disaster!
In fact, after she heard that Lin Lang was leaving the palace, she felt very wronged. These days, she has deeply understood the power of Shen Tuchuan, so she is puzzled, if he has the ability to send Lin Lang away, why didn't he prevent her from entering the palace? If she hadn't entered the palace, maybe the two of them wouldn't be in a dilemma.
At that time, drinking to relieve the depression in her heart, she kept thinking about going out of the palace, and finally said that nonsense, this time Shen Tuchuan misunderstood, she really couldn't explain clearly.
As soon as Ji Ting thought of Shen Tuchuan, she couldn't sit still anymore, she got up and changed her clothes to go to the side hall to find someone, but when she entered the room, all the things about Shen Tuchuan in the room were gone, her heart ached. It also cooled down in an instant.
"When did he leave?" Ji Ting stared blankly at the guard at the door.
The guard hurriedly said: "After the governor came back from you last night, he packed his things and left."
Ji Ting's heart suddenly became a ball, and he turned his head and walked out. The guard hurriedly caught up: "The governor said that he is busy with work these days. If you have something to do, just ask someone to inform him..."
He didn't finish the rest of the sentence, Ji Ting had already lifted up his skirt and trotted out.
She was already quite familiar with the way to the Prison of Rituals, and it took only a short time to get there, but just as she was about to go in, she was stopped by an old eunuch: "Your Majesty, why are you here suddenly?"
"I'm here to find Lord Governor." Ji heard that he was about to go inside.
The old eunuch hurriedly took a step back, and stopped in front of her again: "The Lord Governor just went out, and my son is not here now, if you have something to do, please tell the slave, and the slave will tell the Lord Governor when the time comes."
Ji Ting frowned: "If he's not here, why did you stop me?"
"Didn't the imperial concubine ask you knowingly?" The old eunuch chuckled lightly, with an air of neither yin nor yang.
Ji Ting was silent for a moment, then suddenly fell down: "He doesn't want to see me."
"It's good for the imperial concubine to know. It's getting late, the empress should go back." After staying in the Lijian for a long time, I know Shen Tuchuan's uncompromising character. Now that I don't want to see Ji Ting, it shows that the relationship between the two is not good. With no room for maneuver, the old eunuch lost his previous politeness when speaking.
Ji Ting stood for a long time, then took off the red rope around his neck: "Give this to him, just say, just say what I said yesterday was drunk nonsense, I never thought of using him So I begged him because..." Because I felt that if I could leave the palace, the two of them might be able to be together in an open and aboveboard manner, so they kept entangled.
It's just that these words can't be told to outsiders. She stopped in the middle of her words and still wanted to explain to him herself, but seeing the person in front of her who refused to give an inch, she only said "I'm sorry" for a long time, then turned and left.
The old eunuch glanced at the broken silver stringed with a red string in his hand, and his first reaction was to throw it away, but after thinking about it, he went to the door of Shentuchuan, knocked on the door and said in a low voice: "My lord, the noble concubine just now Come here, let the slave give you something."
The room was silent for a long time, when the old eunuch thought that no one would speak, he heard him say indifferently: "What is it?"
The old eunuch hurriedly said, "It's a broken piece of silver strung with a red string."
This time the room was silent for a longer time, the old eunuch waited patiently, and finally waited for his second sentence: "What did she say?"
The old eunuch thought about it carefully, and repeated her words without missing a single word. After a long time, Shen Tuchuan opened the door and stared at his hand coldly.
When the old eunuch was covered with sweat, Shen Tuchuan took the things and held them in his hands for a long time before returning them to the old eunuch with a blank expression: "Take it and throw it away."
"Throw, where to throw it?" The old eunuch trembled as he spoke. Although he always knew that the Lord Governor was imposing, it was the first time he faced his low pressure directly, and his calves were about to cramp for a while.
Shen Tuchuan remained silent for a long time before he said indifferently, "Find a pond and throw it away." He shouldn't be softhearted and keep things that should have fallen to the bottom of the lake seven years ago.
"...Yes." Seeing his expression, the old eunuch felt that he shouldn't throw the things away, but he was frightened by his aura and decided to listen to him after struggling for a long time, so he found a pond near the chief inspector and threw the things away. up.
That night, Ji Ting came again, but it was still the old eunuch who stopped her: "Your concubine, why are you here again?"
"I came to find Shen Tuchuan... Is he still refusing to see me?" Ji Ting asked cautiously, a little disappointed when he saw the old eunuch shaking his head, and asked for a long time, "Did he accept the things?"
The old eunuch was silent for a moment, but still answered truthfully: "Confiscated."
... refused to accept the things, it seems that this time I was really angry, Ji Ting felt uncomfortable for a while, but he couldn't help it for a while, and reached out to him after a while: "Since he doesn't want it, then return the things to me."
"… Gone."
Ji Ting was taken aback: "What's missing?"
"It's gone," the old eunuch coughed, "Master Supervisor told the servant to throw it away."
"Where did you throw it?!" Ji Ting was anxious.
Although the old eunuch didn't respect her as much as before, she was a noble concubine after all, and he didn't dare to be presumptuous. Seeing that she was in a hurry, he was also a little scared for a while, and hurriedly took her to the pond: "Right, right here..."
Before the words fell, there was only a splash, and the woman who was beside me just now jumped into the water.
The old eunuch was stunned for a moment, and after realizing it, he hurriedly called for someone: "Come quickly! Come quickly! The imperial concubine has fallen into the water!"
"Shut up!" Ji Ting paddled speechlessly, "What are you shouting, I'm just coming down to find something."
"Your Majesty, are you alright?" the old eunuch hurriedly asked while kneeling beside the water.
Ji Ting glanced at him: "What can I do, you go back, I'll look for it myself... By the way, don't tell Shen Tuchuan, do you hear me?" She just wanted to get the money back, but she didn't want to be misunderstood by him as deliberate. Miserable.
The old eunuch was stunned for a moment: "Why didn't you tell the supervisor, didn't you dive just to gain sympathy?"
... Look, even an outsider thinks so, if Shen Tuchuan really finds out, he will definitely think so too. Ji Ting sighed: "I don't have that idea, I just want to get back the money."
"Then you are really infatuated." The old eunuch sighed.
Ji Ting was stunned for a moment, and a little heat appeared on his face: "What nonsense are you talking about!"
The old eunuch realized that he had said something wrong, and quickly apologized: "It's the servant who talks too much, it's the servant who talks too much, the servant hasn't read for a few days, and some of them don't know how to use words, please don't blame me, Madam."
"... Forget it, don't talk nonsense in the future." Ji Ting said sullenly.
The old eunuch responded awkwardly, turned around and left after finding an excuse, Ji Ting took a deep breath, and plunged into the water suddenly.
Ever since she fell into the water when she was ten years old, what Ji's family has done the most is to urge her, the young lady, to learn to swim, not to mention expelling her fear of drowning, and let her practice well. She is water-based, so it's easy for her to dive into the bottom or something.
It's a pity that it's easy, but it's not so easy to find things at the bottom of the huge pool. Ji Ting floated up and dived back and forth, exhausted and still haven't found anything. It was completely dark now, and the bottom of the pool was even darker. She could only use her hands to paw back and forth, and she only found a small place for a long time.
When she came up for the last time, she almost drowned due to loss of strength, and she lay on the edge of the pool for a long time before resting, and then dived to the bottom again.
While she was constantly busy, Shen Tuchuan sat quietly in the room, the candle on the table cracked from time to time, and when the candle light flickered, his shadow on the wall also flickered.
After a sleepless night, Eunuch Li came to the house and asked him to go to the court to discuss matters. He got up and walked out expressionlessly. When he passed the pond, he paused, and his eyes fell on the big wet stone by the pond.
Eunuch Li also looked over: "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing." Shen Tuchuan continued to walk forward with a cold face. Eunuch Li didn't dare to speak immediately, and Xiaobu followed behind.
Not long after they left, Ji Ting quietly showed his face from behind the stone, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he realized that he had hidden behind. She rested for a while and went back to Fengqi Palace, and soon turned back. This time she changed into lighter clothes, and her hair was simply tied up in a bun. After looking around for a while, she looked around again. Meng Zi plunged into the water.
She was busy all morning, and she still got nothing until noon. After soaking in the water for a long time, her arms and legs were exhausted, so she sat on the stone by the pond to rest.
Before she could rest enough, her eyes suddenly swept to the distance and there was a familiar figure coming this way, she hurried into the water, and looked out quietly while holding a corner of the rock. Sure enough, not long after, Shen Tuchuan passed by here, his whole body seemed to be covered with icy shards. When he walked by the stone, Ji Ting clearly felt the coldness.
Shouldn't he be busy with government affairs at this time, why did he suddenly return to the Prison of Rites? While Ji Ting was puzzled, he hid in the water again, leaving only half of his face above the water to pant.
After he left, Ji Ting began to dive into the water again to search for it. I don't know how many times it happened, Shen Tuchuan came out from the prison of ceremonies.
She hurriedly hid behind the stone as before, waiting for Shen Tuchuan to leave.
Unexpectedly, Shen Tuchuan stopped suddenly when he came nearby, and left after a long silence.
Ji Ting waited for him to walk away before he dared to breathe a sigh of relief, feeling a little disappointed in his heart. The idlers he was talking about should be himself.
But this is not the time to feel lost, Ji Ting started looking for things again after resting.
I searched for several days, but found nothing. Ji Ting has grown a lot stronger. The little fat that was born because of pampering has all disappeared, not to mention, his body is getting better... But what's the use of it Woolen cloth
In the evening, after Ji Ting wolfed down his dinner, he held his face and sighed quietly.
The nanny who was waiting on the side looked at her distressedly, and finally couldn't help persuading her: "Mother, you'd better not go to the pool tomorrow, Lord Governor is not one to change his mind, you better stop busy, it's useless to let people see joke."
She didn't know that Ji Ting was looking for something, she just thought that Ji Ting was playing a clumsy trick, so she persuaded him like this.
Ji Ting was shocked: "How do you know?"
"The people in the palace, who doesn't know where the lady has been running these days," the nanny sighed, "My lady, it's not the slaves who say you, who is in charge of the palace now, it's all tacit It's over, how can you fall out with the governor at this juncture? If he persuades the emperor to take the nine princes back, you will have no heirs."
The emperor is now dying of illness, if the concubine has no heirs, there is no need to say what will happen to her.
Ji Ting pursed his lips, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart: "It turns out that everyone in the palace knows about it." He has many eyes and ears in the palace, and now everyone else knows, it's impossible for him not to know, I'm afraid he really doesn't want to talk to He deliberately pretended not to know that she was outside the prison of ceremonies all day long.
Seeing her sad, the nanny couldn't help sighing: "It's no longer a secret that you and the governor had a falling out. In the past two days, concubines have always come to provoke you, but you left early and came back late, so you didn't bump into it... you want a servant girl." Said, you have done this, Lord Governor has not softened, so you should not waste your efforts."
"... Well, I see." Ji Ting was listless.
Mammy said a few more words to her, and when she was sure she couldn't eat anymore, she asked someone to remove the things on the table, then turned around and walked outside. She walked straight to the outside of Fengqi Palace, and after a while, she saw the little eunuch waiting there, she hurriedly smiled and stepped forward and said: "This servant has already persuaded the empress, and the empress should not go there again. "
"Should?" The little eunuch's voice was sharp, obviously dissatisfied.
Mammy smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty is the master, and we slaves can only persuade her. If she insists on not changing her mind, then slaves can't do anything about it."
The little eunuch stared at her for a long time, then turned around and left with a soft snort, the nanny cursed secretly, and turned her head back to Fengqi Palace.
After the little eunuch returned to the Supervisor of Rituals and returned to his command, Shen Tuchuan was silent for a long time, and after giving a word, he resumed his busy work on the court.
Early the next morning, Ji Ting still got up and walked towards the Supervisor of Rituals. She didn't sleep well last night, and her mind was full of what the mother said to persuade her, but when it was dawn, she still wanted to get the money back.
She really hurt Shen Tuchuan's heart this time, so she has no right to beg him for forgiveness. After getting the money back, she will stay in Fengqi Palace peacefully and never cause him any more trouble. If he needs a puppet queen mother, then she will just do it honestly.
Ji Ting was thinking about something sadly along the way, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at the pond, where... the pond? She looked at the pool that had been filled to the ground, and was speechless for a long time.
"Greetings to the imperial concubine and empress." Several eunuchs who were squeezing the ground saluted.
Ji Ting opened his mouth slightly, and it took him a long time to remember to ask: "Why, how did you fill it in?"
"Returning to the words of the imperial concubine, this is the intention of the governor. He said that he should fill it in earlier, so that no messy people will come and disturb him." An eunuch wiped his sweat and took out the speech he had prepared.
... He actually hated himself so much, Ji Ting stared blankly at the flat ground in front of him, it took him a long time to recover, and he went to Fengqi Palace silently.
Momo couldn't see Ji Ting when she got up early, and just when she was sighing, she suddenly saw her come back, and she was immediately surprised: "Why did your mother come back so early? Could it be that she gave up?"
"No, move me a chair, I'll bask in the sun in the yard for a while." Ji Tingsang raised his eyebrows.
Mammy hurriedly moved the chair over, Ji Ting squinted her eyes after sitting down, she didn't know if it was because the sun was too good today, or for some other reason, she only basked in the sun for a while, and her eyes started to sweat a little. Her mind was full of the bits and pieces she had with Shen Tuchuan over the years, and it was only then that she realized that since the first time they met, every memory of him was so clear.
She sighed softly, covering her aching heart, just when tears were about to fall, she suddenly heard a light cough behind her. She paused for a moment, then turned her head to look over, and saw Lin Lang standing behind her on crutches.
"Why did you come out?" Ji Ting hurriedly helped him to sit down.
Lin Lang smiled embarrassedly: "The servant just heard that the empress was basking in the sun in the courtyard, and thought that I hadn't seen the empress for a long time, so I came to talk to you."
"...Sorry, I neglected you these days." Ji Ting looked guilty.
Lin Lang shook his head and looked at her seriously: "Your Majesty, you don't have to be like this. You are the best person in this world for slaves. As long as you are good, it is the best thing for slaves."
Ji Ting smiled and said nothing.
Lin Lang looked at her for a while, then smiled softly: "Your Majesty, are you still worried about the governor?"
"... It seems that this story has been widely spread. You, a person who has been lying in the house all day recuperating from his injuries, know about it." Ji Ting was a little helpless.
Lin Lang comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't worry too much. The Governor may just be angry. After a while, we will be able to reconcile the old relationship with you."
"It shouldn't be possible this time." When Ji heard the thought of the filled pond, his little heart suddenly felt as uncomfortable as a needle prick.
Lin Lang smiled: "Although the slave doesn't understand the relationship between a man and a woman, he thinks that the relationship with his parents is similar, and it is not so easy to break up. What's more, the Lord's love for you has long been beyond the relationship between a man and a woman. He is not so kind to you. Easy to part with."
Ji Cong was surprised when he said the first sentence, and when he finished speaking, he didn't know what to say anymore. Lin Lang looked at her shocked look, and the corner of his mouth never let go: "What's wrong with your mother?"
"No, no, why did you guess in that direction?" Ji Ting's eyes were full of tension.
Lin Lang was puzzled: "The slave didn't guess, didn't the empress and the governor have been together for a long time, there are probably not many people in the whole palace who don't know?"
Ji Ting just felt that the sky was about to collapse: "You, don't talk nonsense! I and Lord Governor are innocent, we just had a better relationship before, it's not the kind of relationship you think... Also, you said The whole palace knows what it means?!"
"That's, that's what it means. Don't you two always deal with each other aboveboard? Why is your lady so panicked at this moment?" Lin Lang became more and more puzzled, "Besides, you have been running to the Supervisor of Rituals these days, so you should know that doing so is useful. How high-profile it is, it is estimated that those who have no news know about your relationship with the governor."
Ji Ting stared at him blankly, but didn't react for a long time, because she really didn't think about it! She is just like her in the palace, she will not associate concubines and eunuchs together, she never thought that she is too simple, she has not communicated with Shen Tuchuan, and many people have concluded that she has Unclear relationship.
Lin Lang looked at her dazed look, and after a moment of silence, his voice lowered: "You, don't you think that you and the governor usually hide things well?"
"Isn't it?" Ji Ting wanted to cry, but she felt that she really hid her little thoughts about Shen Tuchuan well!
Lin Lang was speechless, and it took a long time before he said in a dazed manner: "Your Majesty may not know, this kind of thing is too common in the palace, so many people can see through the relationship between you two at a glance."
He thought for a while and then added: "It's lonely in the deep palace. It's really normal for many concubines to have such a relationship with eunuchs. What's more, the empress and the governor are sincere, and they are more sincere than those who are just to relieve loneliness. She is much more noble, and the servant has no other thoughts except to be happy for the empress."
"He and I really... Forget it, I will never have any contact with him in the future, presumably these rumors will soon be self-defeating," it turns out that this kind of thing is normal in the palace, so why did she keep talking about it before? Tangled? Thinking of Shen Tuchuan, Ji Ting became depressed again, "Let me ask you, if these rumors spread, will it be bad for him?"
"No one will spread the news about the palace," Lin Lang was sure, "Since the governor took charge of the East Factory, he has managed the palace like an iron bucket. Even if someone wants to pass the news, I'm afraid they can't."
"... That's good." Just don't affect him, leave the rest to time to fade, Ji Ting lowered his eyes.
Lin Lang realized that he had said too much today, so he withdrew after thinking about it. From this day onwards, Ji Ting didn't go to the Sili Supervisor again, and he didn't even step out of Fengqi Palace.
Everyone in the palace knew the news of her breaking up with the Governor. Who can stay in the palace for so long, who is not a good player to push the high and trample the low? They were all deducted a lot. Ji Ting didn't care much about these things. In fact, since she didn't go out, she didn't care much about anything.
In the blink of an eye, it was more than a month, Lin Lang recovered and was about to leave.
When sending him to the carriage, Ji Ting took some money out of his small treasury, but Lin Lang hurriedly refused: "Your Majesty, absolutely not, life in Fengxi Palace is not easy now, how can a slave want your things? .”
"You keep it, I feel better." Ji Ting sighed.
Lin Lang rejected it a few more times, and finally accepted it when he had no other choice. With red eyes, he made a big gift to her: "I'm leaving now, I'm afraid I'll never see you again. I wish you all the best and a happy life." .”
"Well, let's go." Ji Ting smiled slightly.
Lin Lang stepped back into the carriage and left Fengqi Palace. Ji Ting stood quietly until the carriage disappeared around the corner, she hadn't moved a bit.
Shen Tuchuan stood quietly in the corner, watching her staring at the distance in a daze, watching her turn back, he was always like a sculpture, quietly guarding the corner where no one was around.
"My lord, the emperor has passed away." After Eunuch Li came over, he said something in a low voice.
Shen Tuchuan's expression moved slightly, and after a long time, he said calmly: "Seal the palace, keep this matter secret, and don't let the outside world know for the time being."
Eunuch Li was taken aback: "Don't you want to issue an edict now?"
"hold on."
"What are you waiting for?" Eunuch Li was in a hurry, "Wait a little longer, and the risk will increase, Governor, you can't wait for this matter!"
Shen Tuchuan lowered his eyes, but still said: "Wait a little longer."
Eunuch Li was so anxious that he was about to sweat. Seeing that he insisted on this, he gritted his teeth and went to order. Shen Tuchuan stood alone for a while, his eyes gradually turned cold, and he turned to busy with the affairs ahead.
After he was about to control the other princes and bring the Ninth Princes into the palace, it was already past time, and his cloak was stained with the cold air of the night, which made his whole body not even a little bit warm.
He walked towards the Prison of Li with a blank face, and when he was about to enter the door, he suddenly stopped. After a long time, he walked to the corner on the left side of the door, looked at the little ball that was smelling of alcohol, and turned back after a moment of silence. When they got to the door, they called a little eunuch on duty: "Send her back."
"Yes." The little eunuch hurried over to help him.
Ji Ting snorted, looked at the person with tears in his eyes, sobbed when he saw that it wasn't what he was looking for, hugged his legs and cried silently.
"Your concubine, it's time for you to go back." The little eunuch said awkwardly.
Ji Ting waved his hands, and said firmly while crying: "Don't worry about me, I'll just sit down for a while."
"But, but you..." The little eunuch looked at Shen Tuchuan's side face in embarrassment, seeing that he didn't respond, he could only grit his teeth and listen to Ji.
It's a pity that Ji Ting, who had been drinking, said nothing, and was very uncooperative. The little eunuch tried a few times, but he couldn't pull him up. Just when he was hesitating whether to call someone for help, Shen Tuchuan suddenly appeared behind him, and asked in a icy voice, "Have you had enough trouble?"
The little eunuch was taken aback, thinking he was talking about himself, but after a long time of reaction, he realized that it was Ji Ting, and hurriedly stepped aside.
Ji Ting, who was already covered in mud, looked at him with tears in his eyes, and said softly, "Are you here to pick me up?"
Shen Tuchuan's heart softened suddenly, he clenched his hands into fists, his face was so gloomy that he was about to drip, "Do you think that I will be humiliated by you if I am caught by you?"
"I've been waiting for you for almost four hours, and my legs and feet are so cold, can you carry me into the house?" Ji Ting asked in a small nasal voice, and stretched out two arms, stretching out his arms straight to him. hug.
The little eunuch backed away silently. This kind of tiger-wolf talk was really not suitable for a pure little eunuch like him to listen to.
Shen Tuchuan stared at Ji Ting quietly, but did not act. Ji Ting's arms became more and more sore, and the tears fell more and more fiercely. When she couldn't hold on anymore, she finally said in a crying voice: "Shen Tuchuan, you can't bring me into the palace and don't care about me! "
Shen Tuchuan's heart trembled suddenly. After a long silence, he hugged him by the waist without saying a word, and walked towards the house. Everyone lowered their heads along the way, pretending not to see this scene. When I carried her into the house, I immediately closed the door from the outside with clever help.
Shen Tuchuan was sullen and wanted to put her on the ground, but she hung on her neck tightly and refused to let go, as if she was going to play the scoundrel to the end. He darkened his face: "let go."
"No." Ji Ting snorted.
"Let go." This time there was a warning in his voice.
Ji Ting still held onto her tightly, but she started to feel scared in her heart. When Shen Tuchuan's eyes were dark and she was about to tear the man off her body, she suddenly let go, and the two of them were caught off guard for a while, and Ji Ting fell to the ground.
When the back of his head hit, Ji Ting let out a muffled snort, and instantly curled himself up into a shrimp, lying on his side silently with his head in his arms. Shen Tuchuan squatted down immediately, touched the bulging bump on her head, and said in a gloomy voice, "I'll call the imperial physician."
He was about to leave after speaking, but Ji Ting suddenly grabbed his sleeve, and he froze immediately.
"What I said that day... didn't mean that." Ji Ting's eyes were moist.
Shen Tuchuan was expressionless and silent, and after a long time, he said calmly: "It seems that you are fine, I will ask someone to take you back."
"I didn't hide it intentionally before, it's just, I just didn't know how to deal with it, so I pretended not to know... I kissed you that day, and I didn't want to exchange the opportunity to leave the palace, I just wanted to kiss you," Ji heard, He began to choke up again, "I said that later, just because I felt that if I hadn't entered the palace, I wouldn't have become the emperor's woman, so I might be able to be with you openly..."
She rambled on about the explanation, and she didn't delay in shedding tears as she spoke, but her voice soon became hoarse. Shen Tuchuan looked at her silently, and finally brought her a glass of water.
Ji Ting took a sip and looked at him seriously: "It was my fault for talking nonsense that day, you don't have to forgive me, but don't ignore me, okay?"
"It's just nonsense, without any sincerity?" Shen Tuchuan asked back.
Ji Ting sobbed softly: "I have never used your mind, no matter in the past, present, or future, there will never be..."
"It's just that I can't trust you now, so why talk about the future." Shen Tuchuan interrupted her.
Ji Ting froze for a moment, pursed his lips and wept silently.
Shen Tuchuan was silent for a long time before looking at her calmly: "You haven't come to the Supervisor of Rites for a long time, why are you here today?"
"Because of drinking." Even if Ji Ting is drunk, he knows how much alcohol affects him.
"Why drink?"
Ji Ting couldn't answer, Shen Tuchuan's eyes turned cold: "Because Lin Lang left the palace today, are you in a bad mood?"
"... Lin Lang leaving the palace is a good thing, why is he in a bad mood?" Ji Ting asked with tears in his eyes.
Shen Tuchuan turned his face away: "It's up to you to ask yourself." Today, the back of her staring obsessively still can't get rid of in his mind. He was very concerned about the existence of Lin Lang from the beginning to the end.
Ji Ting asked herself in a low voice, Shen Tuchuan couldn't help but find the way she muttered cute, but when she thought of her doing the same in front of another man, she felt very hateful.
He finally interrupted her: "You treat Lin Lang differently from other palace people, isn't it because you like him?"
"I only like you." Ji Ting replied directly.
Shen Tuchuan was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he raised his face: "Don't change the subject, what do you think of him, tell me clearly now."
"Did I treat him? Is it guilt?" Mentioning Lin Lang, Ji Ting's mood became depressed again, and he said with tears in his eyes, "I mentioned it to you, an obsession I have had since I can remember?"
Shen Tuchuan was stunned for a moment, and his brows gradually frowned.
Hearing Lihua talk about this matter with rain, Ji felt guilty towards Lin Lang again in his heart.
In fact, this obsession can no longer be thought of often after she grows up, but ever since the concubine met Lin Lang in front of the palace, her childhood thoughts always appeared in her mind. At that time, she always felt that she should meet a distressed young man in such a scene, save him from the fire and water, and devote all her life's strength to give him happiness, but when she really met Lin Lang, she felt that something was wrong.
