As if to fit the occasion, a gust of cold wind blows from the window, carrying some moist smell, it seems that it is going to rain.
"Brother," Hua Ling continued, "I heard that you still have a grandfather, but I don't even have a grandfather."
Hualing's maternal grandfather was the Marquis of Pingchang, and he used to guard the southern frontier. Seventeen years ago, the frontier border suddenly launched a war. At that time, the scale of the war was not too big, it was just a small-scale battle.
Once, the enemy sent 500 troops to provoke. Pingchang Hou and his son led 1,000 light cavalry to meet the enemy. They thought they would win the battle, but they disappeared without a trace. More than a thousand people were either alive or dead, they just evaporated out of thin air and never appeared again.
When the news reached the imperial court, some people said that Pingchang Hou and his son had sacrificed their lives for the country; In short, there are different opinions. But most people, including Emperor Chongjin, believed that Marquis Pingchang had defected to the enemy camp. Otherwise, with many enemies and few, how can we be defeated? Even if the battle is defeated, why are there no people alive or dead
But if there is no evidence for collaborating with the enemy, the matter has become an unsolved case. After Pingchanghou and his son disappeared, Emperor Chongjin sent Yan Shi's grandfather, Duke Anguo, to take over.
"Not long after my grandfather and uncle disappeared, my mother died of illness." Hua Ling lowered his head and said softly. He was already thin and weak, and now sitting there with his waist bent, he looked even more lonely.
It has to be said that Hua Ling's and Yan Shi's experiences are somewhat similar. They all lost their mothers when they were young, and they were both the eldest sons but they were not favored. The mother clans all held military power, and they all once guarded the southern frontier.
"Ming Ting—" Yan Shi wanted to comfort him, but he didn't know what comforting words to say.
"Brother, I'm fine." Hua Ling slowly raised her head, blinked her big beautiful eyes and bent her lips, "I have you now."
"Ming Ting," although Yan Shi knew that the next words would hurt people, he still decided to say it, "I don't have half love for you."
There was a thunderclap in the distance, but Hua Ling felt that Yan Shi's words scared him more than the thunder: "What does brother mean? Doesn't brother want me?"
"I didn't mean that." Seeing Hua Ling's frightened expression, Yan Shi regretted saying it so bluntly, but now he had to say, "Ming Ting, we only knew each other for a few days. Do you understand what I mean?"
He wanted to win over Hua Ling, but he didn't want to deceive him with his feelings, so Yan Shi was a real gentleman.
Hua Ling's eyes were a little red: "Since my brother doesn't have me in his heart, why did he marry me?"
"Ming Ting, at this point, I have to tell you one thing, but I don't know if you will believe it." Yan Shi said.
"Brother, please tell me," Hua Ling's mood suddenly became a little depressed, "I will believe what my brother says."
"The bridal chamber that night was just an accident. I didn't think about it. I was drugged."
The talisman that Yan Shi gave to Qingji, Qingji had someone inspect it, and it was indeed soaked with medicine. The medicine was not colorless and tasteless, but had a faint fragrance. Normally, Yan Shi would not be careless, but on the day of marriage, the smell was everywhere, so Yan Shi was not prepared.
Yan Shi never thought of telling Hua Ling about this before, no matter what, Yang is his mother whom he has called for nearly twenty years. He has only known him for three days, I'm afraid Hua Ling won't believe him. But today's talk has come to this point, he wants to give it a try, taking advantage of Hua Ling's suspicion of Yang Shi, to add fuel to the flames. Therefore, Yan Shi told the story of the matter.
After hearing this, Hua Ling remained silent for a while, clenched his fists and then loosened them, the rain outside was getting heavier, Hua Ling stared out the window for a while, then said after a long time: "Brother, I believe you. "
Yan Shi was a little surprised, but his face did not seem to be fake.
Hua Ling asked again: "Brother, do you have someone you like?"
Yan Shi didn't know why the topic of the two of them went back, but he still replied: "Nothing."
"That means I still have hope." Hua Ling's originally dim eyes lit up little by little, "Brother, can I pursue you?"
Yan Shi never thought that Hua Ling would say that, slightly stunned, and then slowly said after a while: "Yes, yes."
"Then I can rest assured," Hua Ling patted his chest, his eyes were pious and firm, "Brother, I will definitely catch up with you."
Yan Shi's face turned red unexpectedly.
"Brother, to tell you the truth, I was a little worried before I got married." Hua Ling smiled slightly, "I knew something about my father and His Highness Zhao Wang, and you and His Highness Zhao Wang. I was really afraid that my elder brother would take anger at me because of my father, but my elder brother didn't. When welcoming the bride, I knelt on my knees for a long time and couldn't stand up. The moment my elder brother picked me up, I fell in love with you. In this world, It is really rare for people like you to be so clear about grievances and grievances, and it is even rarer for people as gentle as you. Brother, I have seen in my eyes and cared about what you have done for me in the past few days. I Not stupid."
"I'm not as good as you said." Yan Shi never thought that he would be like this in Hualing's heart. He thought that Hualing was just fulfilling his husband's duty to him, but he didn't think that it was because he liked her. .
"Brother is very good, very very good." Hua Ling's gaze was very firm, "There is no one better than you in this world."
Without you, there would be no me today. But I lied to you, I hope you can understand my difficulties. Don't worry, I will let you sit on that dragon chair!
No one has ever said such blunt words to Yan Shi, not even his own sister, Princess Huojia, Yan Shi blushed again.
"Brother, can I discuss something with you?" Yan Shi's appearance made Hua Ling's heart itch, but he couldn't show it in front of him at all, so he had to change the subject, "My dumb mother and I are called master and servant." , but in fact I am like her own grandson. She knows that I am happier than me after I get married, and I don't want her to worry about me anymore. So, brother, can you live here? You live on the bed, and I live outside Just sleep on the couch."
Hua Ling's request was not too much, Yan Shi said: "You can still sleep on this bed, I will sleep on that couch."
"How can this be done," Hua Ling refused, "This is your room, so I'm not occupying the magpie's nest."
Yan Shi said: "There's nothing wrong with it. You've been sleeping here for the past few days, so don't change places. I have internal strength body protection, so it's the same wherever I sleep. That's the decision. Take some rest."
After finishing speaking, Yan Shi found out the quilt and laid it on the couch in the outer room, and fell asleep.
Hua Ling's eyes looked there, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He had already left him in this room, and he was not far away from being turned onto the bed.
