After the emperor said the words hidden in his heart, he unexpectedly relaxed a lot, just like the big stone in his heart fell to the ground, the whole person was more relaxed than ever.
His long and narrow phoenix eyes stared at Xie Linlang for a moment, wanting to know her reaction.
Even though he knew very well that the world would not accept this feeling, he still had a glimmer of hope, hoping that Xie Linlang would be different from them.
Xie Linlang was silent for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh.
The Emperor watched her grow up. In her heart, he has always been a figure like an elder, not to mention, he is still her master.
Moreover, her current identity is still a man, so the emperor can still fall in love with her, it can only be said that it is a bad fate.
Seeing Xie Linlang sigh, the emperor suddenly became nervous, he said.
"Linlang, I don't care about your gender or whether we can really be together. I only want you to be with me, as long as you belong to me completely, so... is it okay?"
After he finished speaking, he frowned, it seemed extremely uncomfortable, and he didn't want to be tortured by such feelings, but he couldn't restrain the idea of possessing her at all!
Xie Linlang sat on the bed, hugged the quilt, and thought about it seriously.
"Master, if I didn't intervene this time, what do you think it would be for me?"
The pupils of the emperor's teacher flickered slightly, and Xie Linlang said without waiting for him to answer.
"If you lose, I will die, because the Mu family won't let me go. If you win, my end will not be easy, because the Shen family won't let me go."
The emperor took the risk of the world to like her. In the eyes of the Shen family, it was her original sin. They would force the emperor to kill her. Even if the emperor did not agree, they must keep her, and the elders of the Shen family would also Ask the emperor to put her under house arrest and turn her into a shameless personal pet.
This is the best ending she can get while sitting still.
The emperor couldn't help but close his eyes. His Linlang was so smart, which meant that everything could be hidden from her eyes.
But what is he going to do? What can he do
At this moment, the emperor had a strong resentment in his heart! He questioned Xie Linlang out of control, or asked her for help, what should he do
"Can I just give up on you?" He stared at her and asked word by word, "I've been happy with you for so long, I'll never give up on you, I've given you everything I can give, you Can't you stay, stay by my side, belong to me forever?"
He said at the end, his voice getting lower and lower, "I can give you everything except freedom..."
His words moved Xie Linlang slightly, but she still shook her head, "You can't give me more than freedom."
She hugged her knees and whispered, "For example, if I'm not your disciple, if I'm not a man, just an ordinary civilian woman, can you marry me?"
The emperor opened his mouth, and the word "energy" rushed to his lips, but he couldn't say anything.
It is an iron law not to marry a scholar! Even if he is the head of the Shen family, even if he is an imperial teacher, he cannot violate this iron law. Unless he does not become a nobleman and is demoted to a commoner, otherwise, his wife candidates can only be born in those families.
Even his concubine could not be a commoner.
Xie Linlang asked again, "Master, what do you think of my talent?"
The emperor barely had to think about this, and blurted out.
"My Linlang is unparalleled in the world."
Xie Linlang smiled with satisfaction, "Since Master said so, then even if I was born as a woman, I would be unparalleled in the world. Even if I am just a commoner, I would not be willing to be a concubine, let alone serve a husband with others. "
The emperor subconsciously wanted to refute her, a woman could not have her talent, and her assumption could not happen at all.
Xie Linlang said first, "I know what you want to say, you want to say that women are impossible, indeed, women... how is it possible?"
She got up and got out of bed as she spoke, wearing only a middle coat, she looked very thin.
She walked to the window, leaned against the half-open window, and looked at the bright moon in the sky. The emperor couldn't see her expression, but she could feel that she seemed very lonely.
Xie Linlang whispered after a while, "Look, even if I'm a woman, you can't give me what I want, and we can't be together, let alone, I'm a man, your disciple, and you see. half child growing up.
So what's the point of you insisting on liking me? Are you trying to force me to be your captive pet? If I were a pet, it wouldn't be me, and you wouldn't like me like that. "
As a human being, Xie Linlang is more cautious than everyone else when it is time to be cautious. She will not go against the emperor or fight, it will only stimulate him and achieve the opposite effect.
So she pointed it out and told him that there was more than a gap between them
The emperor fell into silence, his hand hidden under his sleeve was tightly clenched, and the whole person seemed to be split in two.
Half said ruthlessly and domineeringly.
Why say so much? If you like her, just keep her strong. If she wants to run, lock her up. One day, she will lose interest in the outside world.
The other side was full of pain and hesitation.
He likes her so much, likes her publicity and agility, likes her talent and ideals, if such a person is locked up, just like she said, she will lose her soul and not her at all.
The more the Emperor thought about it, the more he felt that he couldn't breathe. He sat on the edge of the bed slowly, lowered his head, and grabbed his hair out of control.
After a long time, he said hoarsely.
"So you still have to go. Is it so good outside? If you really want to see it, stay by my side, and you can still show it when I leave the court."
Xie Linlang's heart moved when she heard it. She glanced at the emperor with some surprise, and finally realized that he really had a lot of love for her.
With that in mind, she whispered.
"Thank you very much for liking me, but I can't wait for that day to stay."
"why?"
When Xie Linlang heard the words, she couldn't help but touched the Buddha bead on her left wrist.
"Because... I have a demon living in my body. Didn't you ask before, why am I immune to all poisons? Actually, I am not immune to all poisons, but I have the most terrifying poison in the world in my body."
The emperor suddenly became nervous, Linlang, she was poisoned
"After the queen rescued me, I had nowhere to go, so I wanted to find my family parents, but as a result, I was captured by a primitive tribe that worshipped voodoo."
"...In that group, there is a witch king who is highly skilled in martial arts and proficient in voodoo. He used me and other captives to test medicines and planned to make us into medicine men."
