Chapter 326: Confession 1

So, this is the truth.

Everything is just as she imagined!

Ling Jingshu breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed her brows: "So that's how it is. I originally thought it was strange that Empress Xu, no matter how much she liked men, had never summoned eunuchs like that."

After thinking about it, he couldn't help but whispered, "Did you secretly arrange for the emperor to suddenly go to the Pepper Room that night?"

Wei Yan raised his eyebrows and admitted frankly: "Yes. Eunuch Huang from the Jingshifang was once seriously ill, and I saved his life. Although he is a greedy and timid person, he knows how to repay kindness and has been secretly communicating with me since then. I have carefully prepared for a long time, and such an important link has of course been designed long ago."

Ling Jingshu looked at him quietly, with a complicated look.

Being stared at by those clear eyes, Wei Yan felt his heartbeat speeding up and his heart warmed up.

He dared not let himself indulge in his wild thoughts, fearing that he would do something abrupt or say something rash: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"I admire you very much." Ling Jingshu sighed slightly, her eyes full of admiration: "I didn't expect you to dare to secretly set up a plan to deal with Empress Xu. I didn't expect that you set up the plan so cleverly that no one would suspect you at all."

He was just an imperial physician and had no power in the palace. Not to mention dealing with the queen.

But he not only did it, but also succeeded, which really made people admire him!

Wei Yan smiled faintly: "In fact, as long as it has been done, there are traces to follow. If the emperor really investigates it thoroughly, he might find out about Eunuch Huang and then suspect me. After all, he just prescribed a prescription for Empress Xu to regulate her body a few days ago."

"However, with the emperor's temper, he will never get to the bottom of it after suffering such a great humiliation. He will be furious, kill a bunch of people, depose Empress Xu, and then never mention it again."

"I dare to do this because I calculated that the emperor would react like this."

"Anyway, you succeeded after all." Ling Jingshu sighed sincerely: "From now on, Empress Xu can no longer force you, and you can breathe a sigh of relief."

Wei Yan pulled the corner of his lips, not without self-deprecation: "Yes, I can finally keep my chastity."

Ling Jingshu laughed dumbly: "Forget it! It's not right to say this. I'm wrong, don't Keep it in mind. "

"This is the truth, what should I mind about it?"

Wei Yan was unusually calm: "This look was given to me by my parents. I have grown such a face whether I like it or not. Over the years, I have been alone, partly because Empress Xu has been pressing me step by step. I don't want to anger her directly, and I don't want to implicate my elder sister and Anya, so I have endured it silently. "

"The more important reason is that I have never met a woman I really like. Since there is no girl I like, it doesn't matter if I don't get married."

When Wei Yan said this, he suddenly paused subtly for a moment, and then whispered again:

"When I had a girl I liked and wanted to spend my life with, I really had the idea of ​​dealing with Empress Xu. No matter what, I have to get rid of this knife hanging over my head, and then I am qualified to tell her that I like her. "

...

This is the most subtle, euphemistic and simple confession Ling Jingshu has ever heard.

There are no gorgeous words, no fierce vows, and no domineering attitude of having to be with you. Just like a trickle of water sliding into the heart, making people feel at ease and comfortable.

Just like the feeling he gave her. Firm and tolerant, gentle and affectionate.

Ling Jingshu's heartstrings trembled fiercely.

When they first met, he was cold and calm, not moved by her extraordinary beauty, and even scolded her unceremoniously.

Later, she accompanied A Xiao to give acupuncture, and gradually became familiar with him.

I don't know since when, his eyes fell on her more and more. He took care of her and cared about her without leaving a trace, and silently did a lot for her.

She deceived herself and didn't want to think deeply about the intentions behind this gentleness.

Until she entered the prison, when she was most confused and helpless, he could obviously protect himself, but he took great pains to ask someone to take care of her. On the day of her coming of age, the bowl of longevity noodles and the ebony hairpin clearly showed his feelings.

She could no longer deceive herself, let alone refuse this deep affection like water.

How lucky she was to meet such a man who treated her wholeheartedly.

Ling Jingshu moved her lips, as if she wanted to say something, but she couldn't say anything.

Wei Yan seemed calm, but he was actually very nervous. In this short moment, his heart beat so fast that it almost jumped out of his chest.

He finally mustered up the courage to speak his mind.

How would she react?

Would she refuse with embarrassment and regret?

Or would she accept with shyness and joy?

After an unknown amount of time, Ling Jingshu's soft and subtle voice sounded quietly: "Wei Yan."

Wei Yan held his breath, like a prisoner about to be sentenced, nervously waiting for his fate.

"Wei Yan," Ling Jingshu's voice was also a little tense: "In fact, you don't know me. I have a lot of secrets from you."

It's better not to refuse outright.

Wei Yan's heart, which was in his throat, quickly fell back to its original position, and he also found his calmness: "I know."

Her illness could never be as simple as she said.

She insisted on going to the capital and then entered the palace. It was obvious that she had other intentions.

Also, she thinks she hides it very well and only shows her hatred when no one is paying attention. That hatred was vaguely directed at Queen Xu and Princess Changping... She was just an ordinary boudoir girl, how could she have such complicated thoughts?

However, none of this matters. The important thing is that he likes her.

As for her, does she also like him a little bit?

Ling Jingshu bit her lips and continued quickly: "You should also know my current situation. Since the emperor has his thoughts, he will never let me go easily. If your thoughts are discovered by the emperor, I am afraid that you will be provoked. To cause death..."

Even so, do you still dare to like me?

This sentence was not asked out loud, but it was clearly revealed in Ling Jingshu's eyes.

"Ah Shu, I know all this. You don't need to stress it again, I won't be scared away." Wei Yan looked at her steadily, with a dazzling look in his eyes: "I will face it with you. In this difficult situation, I will do my best to protect your safety.”

"I just want to ask you, are you willing to accept my heart?"

"Are you willing to walk out of this suffocating palace and the capital with me one day in the future? We can go to a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. You will plant flowers and grass, and I will open a small medical clinic. Live a peaceful and comfortable life. day."
