Your Majesty, I know I was wrong

Chapter 25

"Yu Xiao, can I ask you a question?"

Lin Zijin rested her head on Yu Xiao's arm, with her back to him, and Yu Xiao rolled over and wrapped her arms around Lin Zijin's waist.

"What do you want to ask?"

"You..." Lin Zijin paused, thinking about how to speak, "Do you want a child?"

"Do not."

Lin Zijin was surprised by Yu Xiao's answer without hesitation, and he turned to look at Yu Xiao.

"Then who will inherit the throne?"

"Some time ago, I took the seventh brother out of the control of the Ministry of Industry, and let people cultivate them well. If the education is good, I will let the seventh brother take over."

"But have you ever thought that the empress dowager would agree?"

"Queen?"

"No... she is your mother after all, and she will definitely not allow it."

"Maybe I will feel sorry for her, but I don't want to betray you. Are you willing to let me pamper the concubines in the harem? If this is what you want, then I will go tomorrow."

"No! How could I think so!"

Seeing Lin Zijin's nervous appearance, Yu Xiao couldn't help but feel that his scheme had succeeded.

"That Yu Xiao... have you ever regretted falling in love with me?"

"What I regret the most is that I let you suffer outside the palace."

"It's in the past."

"What about Jin'er? Do you have any regrets?"

"No, I have no regrets in this life."

He hugged Yu Xiao tightly, as if he had spent half his life in this hug, he refused to let go for a long time, slowly waiting to be swallowed up by the nightmare.Yu Xiao kissed Lin Zijin, he complained in his heart about the man in front of him thinking wildly, he was afraid that he was busy with government affairs recently, which made him feel uneasy, so he should spend more time with him from tomorrow.

The days with Yu Xiao's company were not as boring as before, and sometimes even if the two of them just stayed in the hall, they would have a lot to talk about.

And Kui Lang would go to Qixiao Hall to find Lin Zijin for martial arts competitions from time to time, and it was fine once, but if Kui Lang was asked to look for Lin Zijin in Qixiao Hall many times, Kui Lang would inevitably have doubts in his heart.

On that day, Kui Lang invited Lin Zijin to drink and enjoy the moon in the pavilion in the plum blossom forest, so he couldn't help asking.

"Zijin, why do you always see you in King Zhen's bedroom?"

"It's... just a coincidence, just dealing with business."

"Really?"

The questioning expression on Kui Lang's face made Lin Zijin a little guilty, and his eyes were erratic. In order to cover up his panic, he drank all the wine in the glass in one go.

"What a drink!"

"Of course, this is the top-quality wine brewed in our place. Others may not be as good as yours, but I dare say that this wine is still rich and delicious!"

As soon as the wine was mentioned, Kui Lang began to tell Lin Zijin how the wine was brewed, when it was put into the cellar and when it was taken out, all of which were very particular, so Kui Lang started talking with Lin Zijin in this way.

At this time, in Qixiao Palace.

"How is Xiao Er these days?"

"Mother?! Why are you here?"

"If I don't come, I'm afraid you will forget me."

"Mother, what are you talking about?"

"How long has it been since you went to my Lingrui Palace, don't I know?"

"I'm busy with my affairs, and I'm a little negligent. Please don't blame the queen mother."

Yu Xiao helped the Empress Dowager to sit down.

"It's fine if you don't come to see me, you should go to the queen's place, right?"

"This……"

"Ji Qiu is the grand master's daughter, you have to treat her well in order to be more stable in the court."

"I'll see to it."

"It's up to you? Hmph, putting the queen in Xuanning Palace and ignoring them is the result of what you see to do? Xiao Er, you are not young anymore, you must have a dragon vein."

Yu Xiao frowned.

"Mother, the child is tired today, let's discuss this matter again."

Seeing Yu Xiao's expression of not wanting to talk anymore, the empress dowager didn't plan to stay any longer.

"Come to Lingrui Palace as often as you have time."

"Yes."

At this time, Lin Zijin, who was chatting with Kui Lang in the gazebo, was drinking happily, and just finished a jar of wine.The fragrance of plum blossoms came from the courtyard, which warmed my heart like water and softened my impetuousness.Lin Zijin's face flushed slightly after drinking, and Kui Lang was fascinated by his slightly drunken appearance.

"Zijin, do you like this wine?"

"like."

"Then I'll ask someone to bring you some more when I go back."

"Okay~ That would be much appreciated."

"Zi Jin."

"Um?"

"I like drinking with you, happy~"

"Meow~"

Just as Kui Lang was slowly approaching Lin Zijin, a meow interrupted their chatting.It was a cloud cat with brown and yellow patterns, but it had a pair of mandarin duck eyes. It lazily approached Lin Zijin, and dawdled beside him, acting coquettishly.

"It seems to like you very much~"

"I don't know which concubine in the harem raised it."

Lin Zijin stretched out his hand to caress the cloud cat, its fur is extremely soft, it can be seen that it has been well fed.Zijin was stroking its neck, and the cat, who was enjoying himself, suddenly bit Lin Zijin. He quickly withdrew his hand, but after the cat licked Lin Zijin's blood, it suddenly became ruthless and scratched. Touched the back of Lin Zijin's hand.Seeing that the cloud cat wanted to continue attacking, Kui Lang quickly knocked the cat unconscious and threw it into the grass.

"Did it hurt you? Let me see!"

Kui Lang looked nervous. He took Lin Zijin's hand and saw three scratches on the back of his hand, but luckily none of them were deep. Kui Lang took out the silk cloth he brought and wiped the wound for him. When Lang took back the thin silk, he smelled a fragrance, not the fragrance of plum blossoms, and the smell was even weirder.He searched for the smell, sniffed the silk cloth in his hand, and found the source from the blood stains on it.

"This is Baixiangsan!"

"what?"

"Zijin! Are you poisoned?!"

"Why are you asking so suddenly?"

"I grew up in the royal family. In order to beware of poisoning in food, I have been familiar with all kinds of poison since I was a child. I know this smell is Baixiangsan! The reason why this poison is called Baixiangsan is because it is composed of hundreds of poisonous plants. It is made from spices, as far as I know, it cannot be prepared by ordinary people, so this kind of medicine is extremely rare. When did you get poisoned? Don't you know?"

"No, I know. Kui Lang, since you know this medicine, do you know that there is an antidote?"

"Because this kind of medicine is extremely difficult to prepare, so the antidote is also hard to find, but since that person can make the medicine, there must be an antidote, Zi Jin, do you know who hurt you?"

"I know, but I can't tell, and I can't go to that person."

"why?!"

"Kui Lang, let me ask you, if one day you were asked to choose between protecting your family or protecting yourself, which would you choose?"

"I will choose to protect my family."

"Me too."

Lin Zijin smiled slightly. In fact, he really hoped that the person who could understand him was Yu Xiao. He chose to protect his family, but gave up the promise to accompany him to watch the world. If there is any attachment to the world, it is Yu Xiao.

Kui Lang saw that Lin Zijin was still unwilling to tell the cause and effect of the poisoning, so he didn't ask too much. Maybe he couldn't make Lin Zijin love him at this moment, but he felt a little pain in his heart. He suddenly felt that the person in front of him was so far away. It was within reach, but he always felt that Lin Zijin would disappear in the next moment.

"Recalling the smell you gave off when you competed with me that day, it turned out that you..."

"But I don't really feel it myself. The person told me that I have one year left in my life, but it's been a month. I don't have any pain except sometimes feeling sleepy."

"Do you know all of this?"

"only you."

Lin Zijin said it lightly, but Kui Lang didn't like it, why didn't he tell himself about it earlier, if Kui Lang didn't find out today, would he have to endure it alone?Can't you cherish your life better!

"My master is also a pharmacist, I will go back to find her tomorrow, don't worry, Zi Jin, there will be an antidote!"

"Thank you, Kui Lang."
