The general is always teased

Qingzhu came up and put the snacks and tea in the tray on the round table one by one.

Seeing the green bamboo, King Yu finally stopped reading the letter. He carefully put the letter away and put it in his arms again, treating it as a treasure.

Glancing at the green bamboo standing at the side, King Yu said, "That's fine, you can go down."

"Yes." Qingzhu bowed, and then retreated as he said.

Poured himself a cup of tea, King Yu drank the tea one by one, he pondered for a while, and asked Shen Yijin, "Lin Yan, how has he been these years?"

Since they parted with Lin Yan ten years ago, they have not seen each other again.

For the past ten years, even though he missed him so much, he didn't dare to inquire about Lin Yan at all. He only dared to miss Lin Yan secretly in his heart, and recalled their past relationship over and over again as a support .

Because he was afraid that once he inquired about Lin Yan and found out where Lin Yan was, he would no longer be able to bear such crazy thoughts day after day, and he would succumb to his inner desire, and tie Lin Yan to himself He even did something that hurt Lin Yan.

Moreover, he was also afraid that Lin Yan had already married a wife and had children. Now that the family lived happily, he would no longer exist in his world.

Because they had made an agreement, if Lin Yan couldn't figure it out and didn't take the initiative to contact him, then it would be a rejection of his affection, and after a full ten years, Lin Yan never contacted him.

He was about to give up.

But fortunately, he did not give up after all. Even though ten years had passed, Lin Yan finally sent him a letter for the first time. Entrust the life and safety of the person you care about to him for protection?

Thinking of this, King Yu couldn't help feeling a little rippling in his heart, he looked at Shen Yijin, waiting for his answer.

Catching his gaze, Shen Yijin said softly: "Brother Lin is doing well."

"Really..." Clenching his hands into fists, King Yu looked at Shen Yijin and asked again: "Lin Yan, did you mention this king to you?"

Shen Yijin shook her head.

"Heh." King Yu laughed at himself, with a touch of sadness in his eyes.

After being silent for a while, King Yu suddenly gripped the teacup in his hand, lowered his head and stared at the tea leaves in the cup, hesitated for a long time, and asked, "Then he...has a wife?" When he spoke, his tone was mixed. Feeling a little apprehensive and uneasy.

Staring at King Yu without blinking for a while, Shen Yijin pursed her lips and remained silent for a long time. Thousands of thoughts flashed through her mind, but finally she told him truthfully: "Brother Lin is not married yet." After a pause, He added: "For so many years, Brother Lin has rejected all the people who made love for him, and has always been alone, with herbs as companions."

Hearing that Lin Yan is still unmarried, King Yu heaved a sigh of relief. He remembered the conversation when they parted many years ago, the sadness in his eyes faded, and his eyes became gentle.

Raising his hand and touching the place where the letter was hidden in his arms, he smiled softly, then sighed softly, and murmured: "It turns out that he is just still worrying... What a fool."

Ten years ago, they fell in love with each other and admired each other. He had happily invited Lin Yan to come to the capital with him and be with him forever, but Lin Yan refused because of their unequal identities. Lin Yan felt that his distance too far to reach...

At the same time, it was also because he could not give Lin Yan a 'only' promise.

——That year, when they met, he was already married.

After taking a sip of tea, Shen Yijin pondered for a while, then suddenly said: "My lord, may I ask you a question."

He already figured out that Lin Yan still had feelings for him, but he never contacted him because of his concubine and his different status. King Yu was happy in his heart, and the aura around him also softened.

Hearing this, he looked at Shen Yijin, nodded and said, "Well, you ask."

Staring at him, Shen Yijin asked bluntly: "Wang Ye, can you tell me what is your relationship with Big Brother Lin?"

King Yu was startled, and after realizing it, he smiled lightly, pointed at Shi Nanyue who was sitting quietly by the side, and said, "Just like the relationship between you and General Shi, this king and Lin Yan also like each other. .”

Although she had made psychological preparations, Shen Yijin was still a little surprised when she heard the definite answer, but after thinking about it, she felt that it should have been like this.

Because even though Lin Yan seldom mentioned his own affairs, and never mentioned King Yu, occasionally when he was free, he would find a place to stay quietly by himself, looking into the distance, with a sad expression on his face And mixed with the look of longing.

In the past, he never understood why Elder Brother Lin was so outstanding, but he still refused to marry a wife. He had seen many girls who fell in love with Elder Lin, and there were many very good women among them, but they were all politely rejected. Now that he thinks about it, It's probably because Brother Lin always has someone in his heart, and he likes that person, so he doesn't want to make do with it, and he doesn't want to let those women down.

At this moment, Shen Yijin finally understood.

It turns out that Brother Lin also likes King Yu.

After a while, Shen Yijin couldn't help but asked again: "Then why aren't you and Brother Lin together?" Since the two are in love, why hasn't King Yu appeared for so many years, and he hasn't even listened to Lin Yan's words? Mentioned it once.

Regret flashed in his eyes, King Yu sighed softly, but did not answer, he turned his head to look at Shi Nanyue, and said, "General Shi has been looking for this king recently, but he was entrusted by His Majesty?"

Shi Nanyue was sitting upright, looking straight at King Yu, with a solemn face, and said in a deep voice: "My lord, you understand the reason why I come to you so many times."

"Yes, I know." King Yu nodded.

Shi Nanyue's eyes were burning: "What about your answer, my lord?"

King Yu said in a low voice: "This king thinks that you should understand my answer."

Shi Nanyue said solemnly: "If the lord doesn't say anything, my minister and His Majesty will not be able to understand your thoughts. Please give me and Your Majesty a serious answer."

Glancing at Shi Nanyue, the King of Yu put down his teacup, got up and walked to the bamboo grove. He stared at the greenery with his hands behind his back, and said in a cold voice, "I'm not going to join forces with those who mess up the government and don't care about the people. You go back and tell His Majesty, so that he doesn't have to be afraid of this king, as for other things, this king is not interested, this king just wants to live as he pleases, and as for the fight for power and profit, this king does not want to participate or participate."

Shi Nanyue also stood up, and he asked: "If one day the Northwest King finally couldn't bear it anymore and rebelled, wouldn't you help His Majesty?"

Hearing this, King Yu turned around, he and Shi Nanyue looked at each other for a while, and promised: "If this day comes, this king will definitely not stand idly by. Please rest assured His Majesty."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Shi Nanyue was finally relieved. He lowered his head, cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely report the words of the prince to His Majesty truthfully."

King Yu responded with an 'hmm'.

Turning his eyes to Shen Yijin again, King Yu said: "Since Lin Yan treats you as a younger brother and asks me to take care of you, then I will definitely be responsible for your safety. Tonight, I will let the dark guards go to find you. , they will be responsible for protecting you, and this king will also tell the officials in the Imperial College to pay more attention, don't worry."

"Thank you, my lord." Shen Yijin stood up, bowed in salute, and smiled gratefully at King Yu.

Holding Shen Yijin's hand, Shi Nanyue also said gratefully: "Thank you, my lord."

After waving his hand, King Yu said, "You don't need to thank me. This king is just taking care of Lin Yan on his behalf. As for the return gift, this king will go to Lin Yan to ask for it."

After ten years, it was time for him to go to Lin Yan.

He couldn't continue to wait passively, otherwise, with Lin Yan's temperament, after another ten years, he would still be stubborn and wouldn't respond to his feelings.

Ten years have been missed between them in vain, and the next ten years cannot be missed.
