When there was a notification sound from outside, Lin Size probably thought that a certain courtier was coming, but immediately pulled away his dejected body and raised his head slightly, only to see that it was He Fangning.
Lin Size's face sank immediately and said, "What are you doing here?"
He Fangning said: "Your Majesty, your concubine... I have something to say."
Lin Size glanced at her and said, "Jiang Haifu is really talkative."
He Fangning said, "That's because he cares about you, and because he hasn't lost his mind."
"If it is about Huzhou, there is no need to persuade me, I have made up my mind." Lin Size said.
He Fangning said: "Your Majesty, I know you must be very sad now, but please calm down no matter what. Not to mention that you still need to take care of the government, I don't understand and don't want to care about it, just talk about your body. , you really can't stand it!"
Lin Size said, "I have my own measure."
He Fangning said, "Are you going anyway?"
Lin Size replied with silence.
"You said that you have your own measure... However, if you really had your own measure, you wouldn't have let Gu Shilang go to Huzhou!" He Fangning suddenly became louder.
Lin Si Ze paused and looked at He Fangning in disbelief.
Gu Hongjian also looked at He Fangning in astonishment. He always felt that He Fangning, whose voice suddenly became severe, was just two people compared to the soft and weak little white rabbit in peacetime. It was a bit like the He Fangning at the wedding. Fang Ning.
And such He Fangning is more pleasing to the eye...
He Fangning said: "Gu Shilang has martial arts skills, and his concubine also knows a little bit. But after all, Gu Shilang is a woman. Your Majesty, you let her go. Don't you know that her life is in danger and that she may die?!"
Gu Hongjian: ... wow? ! How dare she tell the truth? ! Dare to kill Lin Size? !
He Fangning continued without waiting for Lin Size to speak: "This is not fair to Gu Shilang, and actually it is not fair to the people. Although Gu Shilang has martial arts, he has no experience in actually leading troops to fight. Although he has Vice General Wang, But it's not good. Besides, you know very well how Gu Shilang acts. In order to achieve her goals, she can use any means... In a word, it is really wrong for you to let her go to Huzhou. And I didn't know anything at the time. , I can't say anything - of course, I have to admit that I won't dissuade me if I can, because Gu Shilang is my enemy in a certain sense... and the emperor, you let Gu Shilang do it will make her The enemy thinks good things... huh."
Gu Hong was dumbfounded.
And Lin Size slapped the table angrily and said, "I gave her a chance to let her go! I sent her to Huzhou just to make her retreat and leave by herself!"
"Emperor, even I can see how bad your relationship was at that time. If Gu Shilang really leaves the capital, I'm afraid it will be difficult to reconcile again? Under such circumstances, if it was me, I would not I left." He Fangning slowed down.
Lin Size took a deep breath. He didn't get angry. Instead, he nodded and said, "You're right."
There was a hint of joy in He Fangning's eyes.
"But Huzhou, I still want to go." Lin Size said lightly.
Gu Hongjian: "..."
He Fangning showed a dumbfounded expression: "Your Majesty... Chen and concubine really don't understand, since you attach so much importance to Gu Shilang, you even want to go to Huzhou for her corpse when she dies, so why don't you cherish her when she is alive? she?"
Word to heart.
Lin Size's face was already blue and black, and he said, "Enough!"
"You obviously love Gu Shilang very much, but the concubine asked you last time, but you insisted on saying when did you say that you loved her... Yes, you didn't say it, but the concubine saw it all in your eyes! To tell you the truth! , When I first entered the palace, the concubine was arrogant and arrogant, and felt that she had replaced the position of Gu Shilang, but on the day of the wedding, the concubine knew that she was wrong... On the wedding night, you didn't even touch me..."
He Fangning was probably talking about sad things, closed her eyes, and tears fell drop by drop.
Gu Hongjian was surprised - what, Lin Si Ze didn't touch He Fangning on her wedding night? !
Fortunately, she stood alone on the eaves against the cold wind until midnight, looking at the palace and thinking about what would happen!
really...
"My concubine thought you were just in a bad mood that day. Who would have thought that after so long, until today, you haven't touched my concubine." He Fangning smiled miserably, "Everyone in the world thinks that Gu Shilang has fallen out of favor because of me. , the emperor favors me every night... But who knows, the emperor comes to my palace every day, but just takes off his robe and sleeps... No matter how softly I give up my shame, the emperor will not be moved... Ha, everyone in the world says Gu Shilang is pitiful, but who knows, the concubine is the most pitiful one?"
Gu Hongjian: "..."
In the past, every night when she heard that Lin Si Ze was staying at He Fangning's place for the night, she would spit three mouthfuls of blood and cover her chest, unable to fall asleep, but they just slept? ! Even last time, on the first day when she turned into a ghost and came back to find Lin Size, she heard He Fangning's "soft words" and the sound of the fabric rubbing, and she ran away sadly. It turned out that after she floated away, there was no Is there any follow up? !
Gu Hongjian didn't know how to describe her mood at the moment.
why is that
Could it be that when she and Lin Size quarreled that time, Lin Size was too angry, and in some respects... not so good
No, it's impossible to think about it...
Is it...
Seeing a move in her heart, Gu Hong floated between the two, carefully observing Lin Size's expression.
Sure enough, the expression on his face at the moment, there is no trace of guilt and guilt, only indifference.
He Fangning said: "Your Majesty, now, don't you intend to explain why? Could it be that when you were with Shilang Gu, you only slept with her every time? "
Lin Size said, "Of course not."
actually answered...
Gu Hongjian drifted away a little embarrassedly.
"Since you don't want to say it, Your Majesty, then the concubine will help you." He Fangning smiled sadly, "It's because of Zuo Ningyan, right?"
Gu Hong was really frightened this time.
How did He Fangning know about Zuo Ningyan? ! Even if she knew, how dare she say it? !
Sure enough, Lin Size looked at her ruthlessly: "Who told you?!"
He Fangning said: "Gu Shilang."
Gu Hongjian: "..."
God, she's already dead, and He Fangning still hasn't let her go. Is bullying her a dead person who can't speak and frame it? !
"How could she tell you this?" Lin Size obviously didn't believe it.
He Fangning said: "Gu Shilang didn't say too much, she only said one sentence... On the day when the concubine entered the palace, Gu Shilang was the one to pick me up, have you forgotten? She originally told me, Your Majesty, you are always She won't really love me, because she didn't say it, but I guessed that she would say that, there must be someone else in the emperor's heart, that person is not me, nor is it Gu Shilang... And then Gu Shilang accidentally saw When she saw my face, she was surprised for a moment, and then suddenly changed her mouth, saying that the emperor will love me very much... The only possibility is that I and Zuo Ningyan look alike."
"You guessed it yourself?" Lin Size said, "But why do you know Zuo Ningyan?! How do you know what she looks like?"
"The year the emperor ascended the throne, Zuo Ningyan, the daughter of Zuo's family, agreed to marry Yao Tianao for the sake of her sick and young brother, but she still couldn't stand it and committed suicide before she got married. In this way, her brother also got the medicinal materials, and she You don't have to marry Yao Tianao. She's very smart, but she's also very stupid." He Fangning said softly, "But she has no other choice."
Lin Size vaguely heard something wrong and said, "Who are you?"
He Fangning looked at Lin Size quietly, and said, "Your Majesty, I was fourteen years old that year. I was dragged into the Baifu Palace by the Princess Palace. I was frightened, but I met you. That day, the moonlight was just right, You are also very nice. You smiled gently at me, but didn't reveal anything. I never knew that I was once liked by you. Until I lived in a village near the capital as He Fangning for several years, I really miss my father, and despite his admonitions, I came to the capital, but I met you, you brought me into the palace, and let me know that I look exactly like the woman you once loved..."
Lin Size looked at her in disbelief, as if her whole body was frozen.
He Fangning's eyes became softer: "I saw one of your paintings by accident, that was me back then... I was convinced that you really liked me back then. And I am full of joy, because after we meet again , Chen and concubine also fall in love with you. In this world, there is nothing more happier than the person you like also likes yourself. Your Majesty, how can two people be so similar? I am Zuo Ningyan, and Zuo Ningyan is He Fang Ning."
"...How could this be?" Lin Size whispered, "Aren't you dead?"
He Fangning... In other words, Zuo Ningyan, shook her head: "That was suspended animation, only my father and I know about this matter, not even my brother Zuo Ninghao. I am here in the name of He Fangning. I live in a village near the capital, but Yao Tianao has never been captured, so my father never dared to let me go back to the capital. But this year, during Qingming, I came back... Ning Hao caught Yao Tianao some time ago. I told my father, and my father also sent someone to tell me secretly, and I realized that it turned out that the incident was helped by Gu Shilang. But I don't hate her, after all, the concubine is lucky and happy after all... "
Zuo Ningyan was full of affection and spoke softly, but in addition to the initial shock, Lin Size gradually regained her composure, and even became more and more indifferent. After Zuo Ningyan finished speaking, he repeated, "Aren't you dead? "
Zuo Ningyan was stunned for a while, and said, "Your Majesty...?"
Lin Size said, "Zuo Ningyan is dead."
Zuo Ningyan opened her eyes wide and looked at Lin Size a little puzzled.
"Zuo Ningyan died many years ago. Because of her death, Gu Hongjian and I had a falling out twice. The last time, she lost it..." Lin Size reached this point and paused before continuing. , "lost her life."
Zuo Ningyan suddenly understood what Lin Size meant, and said in disbelief, "Your Majesty?! You can't say that..."
Lin Size said: "You are He Fangning, and you can only be He Fangning. Zuo Ningyan has been dead for a long time, and she will not and cannot be resurrected. Didn't you ask me why I want to marry you, but never touch you? Then let me tell you, I just think that you and Zuo Ningyan look alike and look at it as a tribute. Zuo Ningyan is just a dream many years ago. How could I have a dream about a dream? what to do?"
"Then why did you send Gu Shilang to Huzhou for me?! If it was just a dream, how could you destroy your own reality for the sake of a dream!?" Zuo Ningyan asked in pain.
Lin Size said: "I'm just angry at her for concealing it again and again! But you're right, I destroyed everything by myself. Even if I can't make it up now, I have to make it up."
Zuo Ningyan shook her head: "Your Majesty, you can't do this... Do you know how long it took me to imagine that I told you that I am Zuo Ningyan?! It shouldn't be like this... It shouldn't be like this... "
Zuo Ningyan's tears couldn't be stopped at all. She was crying while leaning against the wall weakly, as if she would faint at any time, but she looked at Lin Size's eyes, but there was still a trace of hope.
However, Lin Size had already turned his head away and stopped looking at her. After a while, Lin Size said: "Zuo Ninghao will come in a while, you two brothers and sisters can meet each other, then you can leave with him, and what to do after that is up to you. ."
Zuo Ningyan said: "You want to drive me away?! You want to drive me away...?"
Lin Size ignored her.
"Okay, okay, okay..." Zuo Ningyan raised her head and smiled bitterly, then wiped her tears, sniffed, and said, "Your Majesty, my concubine wants to ask you one last question."
Lin Size did not speak, probably acquiescing.
Zuo Ningyan said: "You did like me at the beginning, right? I want to know why. Could it be because of that night in Baifu Palace? Or was it earlier, the Spring Banquet that year? Actually, I I don't understand, we've met too few times..."
"No." Lin Size interrupted her, "It was earlier. The winter solstice in the 30th year of Wanshun, by the Taiye Pond."
Gu Hongjian, who had been quietly watching the two of them, widened her eyes.
However, Zuo Ningyan was a little puzzled: "Wan Shun thirty years? I was only six years old that year... You were only seven years old..."
Lin Size was not surprised: "You may not remember. At the age of seven, I was pushed into the pool by a few so-called brothers. After I climbed out, I lost consciousness. I woke up shortly after, with a wooden box beside me. Inside is a bowl of thick soup. The logo of the wooden box is from Zuofu. I asked around and found out that that year, Zuo Ningyan came out to play at the winter solstice banquet, and the accompanying maid brought soup. The gift of soup, to Zuo For Ning Yan, although it may be just a casual release, for me, it is a life-saving grace."
Zuo Ningyan was completely stunned, and after a while, she seemed to recall something, and then she suddenly laughed and said, "So that's how it is... I have a little impression. But the emperor, after I entered the palace that year, I haven't arrived yet. Taiyechi, I threw the wooden box to a little palace maid. I don't remember what she looked like, only remember... She seems to be about the same age as me, wearing clothes from the Huanyi Bureau... I didn't drink the soup and threw it to her Yes, why I came to your side, I really don't know."
As she spoke, she shed another line of tears, but she still had a smile on her face: "It turns out that even the so-called once liked is a misunderstanding... Hahahaha, why is life so absurd, do you think so, the emperor?"
However, Zuo Ningyan found that Lin Size stopped talking again, and the shock on her face was more than when she knew that she was Zuo Ningyan.
"emperor?"
"At that time, I was not favored, and I had to carry my clothes to the clothes washing bureau by myself, so I basically had an impression of every court lady in the clothes washing bureau." Lin Size suddenly spoke, with a very clear tone, "That year, in the clothes washing bureau, I had an impression. There is only one young palace maid."
Zuo Ningyan suddenly understood, but still said, "Who is it?"
"See you Gu Hong."
Lin Size uttered these three words in an unusually slow and clear tone.
Zuo Ningyan said: "Really... Hahahahahaha, Your Majesty, God's will tricks people, God's will tricks people!!!"
Lin Size did not respond.
Zuo Ningyan said: "Who would have guessed... It's just a bowl of thick soup, and the three of us have been entangled for so many years... It turns out that the concubine was an outsider from beginning to end, but was involved because of such a big misunderstanding. ... Hahahaha, Your Majesty, you are so stupid, even if the soup was given to you by a concubine, it was just a bowl of soup, how could it be worth the company of Servant Gu for twenty years? Besides, the soup was actually given to you by Servant Gu. "Your Majesty, my concubine hated you just now, but now I feel that you are really a pitiful person... Ha."
With that said, Zuo Ningyan turned around and went out the door, saying, "Ning Hao is coming soon? I'll wait for him outside, you can stay in the house by yourself... I'm afraid I won't see you again in the future, Your Majesty, I hope you can find another one. A person who looks like Gu Shilang will accompany you for the rest of your life, isn't this what you are best at? Hahahahaha!"
She seemed to be crazy, crying, laughing, and rude words, but Lin Size was not angry at all, or he wasn't listening to what Zuo Ningyan said at all.
He just sat there and looked ahead, but his eyes were dark and chaotic, and it seemed like he was not looking at anything.
Gu Hongjian was always there, watching the conversation between Lin Size and Zuo Ningyan quietly, her mood was like Zuo Ningyan, like a boat floating in the sea, being swept up and down by the wind and waves, The waves rolled to fly, and then fell instantly, and so on.
In the end, however, her mood was calm.
Lin Size finally couldn't hold back and leaned back on the chair, his lips trembling.
"Why do you never say... Gu Hongjian, why do you never say..."
Lin Size shed tears in pain, her brows were furrowed, and her eyes were tightly closed.
However, it is still very good-looking, and it still looks like Gu Hongjian likes it.
She looked at Lin Size who was sitting there in great pain, and put her hand around him gently.
However, he couldn't feel her hug, and she couldn't feel his body temperature.
"Because I thought you wouldn't be happy that someone brought this up. You love your face so much... Miss Lin." She imagined that she was talking to Lin Size as before, even with a smile in her voice, "Because we are all idiots. Ah. Miss Lin."
Gu Hongjian thought, is it so sad to be a ghost
Lin Size was still involved in her heart, just like her soul.
It turned out that their misunderstanding existed from beginning to end.
It turned out that the winter solstice twenty years ago, they had already missed it from the moment they met.
