Red Mansion: He Doesn't Want to Bend

Chapter 115 1 The only thing left is the shackles of deep love

There was a ticking sound outside, but it was in time with the sound of the western clock.The inner hall was completely silent, only this slight sound, and the high and low breathing of the two of them.

The Empress Dowager looked up, through the window covered with green gauze, through the hazy curtains, there was a vast expanse of bright white snow outside, eclipsing the rest of the scenery.

The Empress Dowager looked at the snow, and said slowly: "On the eve of the Qianqiu Banquet that day, you came to Shoukang Palace to ask for an audience, sat in front of me, and begged me to take care of Lin Hai's wife. That day, I only felt that you treated the Lin family My son-in-law, I valued it too much. Later, I saw the Fang Pingan button on Miss Lin, and the subordinates were suspicious of Miss Lin. If I think about it now, I guessed it wrong. It's from the Lin family, but it's not a girl, it's a son."

The Empress Dowager rarely treated him like this, she must have been extremely angry if she spoke to him so calmly and indifferently.He knew that he had hurt the Empress Dowager's heart, no mother would listen to such a letter, and no one would want their son to walk such a path.It's just that there is no arrow to turn back, and he has no chance to turn back.

Murong Zhizhi closed his eyes and kowtowed deeply again. "There is no relationship between men and women in love. My son also thought that if he was a girl, I would definitely marry him back to the palace, regardless of whether he likes it or not. It's just that he is a man... Although he is a man, my son My heart has already been paid, and there is no chance to get it back..."

The candlelight was flickering, Murong Zhizhi raised his head, his thin and handsome face was vaguely visible in the light, his face was full of sorrow and pain, but it was so heavy that it couldn't be ignored.He was really tormented and very unbearable, within a short period of time, he became as thin as a different person.

The empress dowager's heart and soul seemed to be taken away by someone, "If he is a girl, even if he must be absolutely right, maybe you will marry her, but he is not after all. Although you are a royal family, you can't rely on yourself to be superior to others." His status means that he acts recklessly towards common people. Lin Jue is the direct son of the Lin family, and the Lin family has been passed down for several generations, so the incense cannot be cut off at his place. Even if it was broken, it shouldn’t be because of you. Although Mrs. Lin I have a body again, whether it is a man or a woman, it is still unknown. My son is in a high position, and he can't do whatever he wants. This is not an easy way to go, let's go back. There are more than thousands of good girls in this world. This time When a beautiful girl enters the palace, I will carefully choose two for you to put in the room, and you will stop thinking about him when you know the benefits of women."

Murong Zhizhi shook his head: "Why didn't the empress put people in my room before? The Buqu in the front and Guiji in the back were all chosen by the empress. It's not that they are bad, it's just that the son doesn't want to touch them. Only that person appeared , even if the talent is superb, it can't divert my heart one bit. The matter of feelings is not good or bad, it can be controlled."

Lin Jue treats him so coldly and so decisively, he still can't let him go after all.

When did it ever make sense?

The empress dowager moved her lips: "Are you two in love?"

"Never." Murong Zhi was filled with bitterness, "He has no affection for his son... He has no affection for his son. It is his son who has always been on the tip of his horns, and kept forcing him, forcing him... He never let go..."

Thinking about it carefully, there were times when I let go.It's just that Lin Jue said that it was all hypocrisy. Although he refused to believe it... until now, he still has to believe it.

"It's because of your wishful thinking..." The Empress Dowager loosened the silk handkerchief tightly held in her hand, and said softly, "It's cold in the ground, so get up and sit down and talk."

"Yes." He lifted up his robe and got up, took two steps forward, and sat on the kang.There is a cup of tea on the small table, still lukewarm.His fingers were cold, and he ate half of the cup while holding it, and then he gradually warmed up.Although the weather was cold, he knelt on the ground for a long time, but fine sweat still appeared on his forehead.The Empress Dowager felt her heart tighten when she saw it, she picked up the silk handkerchief and reached out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Murong Zhizhi tilted his neck to that side, so that the Empress Dowager could use it more easily.

The Empress Dowager rubbed her hands and said: "You are the late emperor's posthumous son, the youngest one, ranking seventeen. Your elder sister Jingduan went to the north to get married for the sake of the great cause of the family and the country. Your brother, the Supreme Emperor, is the oldest one. He ascended the throne I was just over [-] when I was young. They all had a difficult life. I thought that you were the youngest and had a difficult life, so I spoiled you a little more. You are not a girl, and you don’t have to be filial when you grow up. Mother-in-law, even if you have a wild temper, it's normal. You don't need to worry about important national affairs. Although I was reluctant to let you go to war at first, I couldn't stand your begging later, so I let you go in the end. As a result, you I came here smoothly, without any twists and turns. But now, I want to tell you one thing. Selfish desires, after all, are selfish desires. You refuse to marry a wife. When did I force you? There are many brothers around you, The first relatives and concubines are all your elder brother. It’s okay to have no children, the dignified King He Rui, just adopt a nephew to die for you. It’s just that Lin Jue is different from you, wishful thinking, so you should keep your mind on it and don’t go Reluctantly made people."

After all, the Empress Dowager is a person who is used to seeing strong winds and waves.When I was young, I favored the Sixth Palace, and the late emperor had many sons. Except for those who died early, there were dozens of them who survived, counting thirteen.Among the thirteen, two are her direct relatives, the eldest son is now the Supreme Emperor, and the youngest son has been named the prince early.The first emperor trusted her and loved her.Not only because of her good looks and tolerance of others.It is also because she is extremely wise and has a big heart, and she never shouts and kills herself.

When Murong Zhizhi said these words, he said that he was in love with a man.Although this statement surprised her, she was also angry at first, but after a while, she suppressed it.Since he dared to say it, he had made up his mind and would not die for the one he loves.When the love is so strong, others can't help but say something bad.She is a mother, and she is also a person who helped her son stabilize the country.Her methods are by no means limited to those small fights in the deep palace.

It is so rare to be enraged and severely punished.It's the best thing to keep her son's heart in a calm manner, telling her son not to hate her, and cutting off the thoughts of the two of them.

All the sweat on his forehead was wiped off, and the Empress Dowager withdrew her hand.He lowered his head and opened the lid of the hand stove on his lap, and threw the square silk handkerchief into it.There is charcoal in the hand stove, although it is almost extinguished, there is still some anger.This silk handkerchief is also very soft in texture, after throwing it in, within a short while, the hole was scorched out by the fire, emitting a burning smell.The Empress Dowager didn't move her eyebrows, quietly watching the silk handkerchief burn to ashes.

"Friendship is not a matter of war. If you refuse, I will capture you and occupy this land. You and your things are all mine. This is completely different." This is the truth .Blindly attacking cities and conquering territory is something only reckless people do.This is what you want in war, but it's not for attacking your heart.Naturally, the Empress Dowager did not say this to teach him how to talk about Lin Jue. "Between a man and a woman, you can't force it. Let alone Lin Jue is still a man. But any man has a passion and will never be a monster who has been seduced by rumors. I have heard of Lin Jue many times. He is a good man, well-born, knowledgeable, even in dealing with people and things, and he is extremely kind. You have a crush on him, there is a reason to follow. I don't blame you, but you are not allowed to pester him anymore. He has outstanding literary talent, In the future, he will serve the country. As a result, don't waste his life because of your personal affair."

After all, it turns out that this is the most important place.

She didn't tell Murong to turn around, she didn't tell him to forget Lin Jue, she just told him...don't miss his future.

If he really had a deep affection for Lin Jue, he couldn't make Lin Jue fall into an unjust place for his own joy.He should pay more attention to Lin Jue's reputation, and think of Lin Jue in everything he does. This is what he loves.

King He Rui seemed to be in meditation, he sat there without making a sound, just quietly listening to what the Empress Dowager said.The tea in his hand was so cold early in the morning, and the cold porcelain surface stuck to his palm, so he wanted to warm it with his palm.Cold water cools porcelain, how can it be warm?Just like Lin Jue's heart, like the coldest and hardest porcelain, it looks exquisite and delicate, but it is the most repulsive to people thousands of miles away.

The coldness spread to the elbows slowly, and spread to the heart in a short time, cooling the heart completely.

"Son...knows..." It was only a few words, but it was extremely difficult to say.He was about to cry, but his eyes were dry and he couldn't shed tears.The eye sockets were dry and painful, and soon turned red.He looked through the window next to the Empress Dowager, outside the plum trees, the cold snow was flying down, and fell on the branches.The blue plums were extremely light in color, and within a short while they were all engulfed by Bai Xue.I can't tell where is plum and where is snow.He felt stuck in his throat, but he had to force himself to speak: "...it's all... something that shouldn't be... my son will go back to the border in two days... when I go back... I will forget it..."

"You can figure it out, this is the best thing." The empress dowager originally wanted him to say this, and after hearing what he said, she naturally made up her mind.This love comes and goes slowly, but it will eventually dissipate one day.It would be better for Murong and even Zhizhi not to take this path.

Even so, when the Empress Dowager saw her son's eyes flushed, his face sombre, and his whole body froze, she felt pity in her heart.She stretched out her hand to cover the back of his hand, and when she touched the cold piece, her heart ached again.Resisting not to show it on the face, she took the cold tea in his hand and placed it on the table.He said softly: "I know, this is extremely difficult for you. It's just that no matter how difficult it is, it will pass."

He nodded heavily, and finally looked back. "What the queen mother said is true. I will treat him better if I leave here. It's just that I have gone, but I still ask the queen mother for one thing..."

He also told the new emperor's thoughts on Lin Jue, and the Empress Dowager could dismiss him with a few words, so naturally she could protect Lin Jue quietly.It should be known that the Supreme Emperor is a very filial person.Although the new emperor is the emperor, he still has to follow the emperor's will.

Seeing that the Empress Dowager nodded her head in response, Murong Zhizhi felt relieved, but suddenly became empty again.It seemed that the things that had always been in his heart dissipated in an instant, and there was nothing to keep him in his heart.He didn't even have the only excuse to stay here and look at Lin Jue.

Murong Zhizhi burst into a smile, laughing at himself and others.Back and forth, laughter today and tears tomorrow, all in vain in the end.

He saw the two golden water bodhisattvas inlaid on the empress dowager's earrings, swaying gently, in the candlelight, they were as moist as water drops, like two teardrops.
