Your Majesty, I know I was wrong

Chapter 7

The next day is the emperor's birthday, Lin Zijin seized the last time to practice the guqin in the room, playing the qin music taught to him by Hong Ji over and over again, and he didn't know it in the dead of night.Compared with the first time when she played, Lin Zijin has made great progress. Although she is not superb, she has become tuned and the melody has become melodious.

"Your Majesty, take a rest. You didn't sleep much last night, and you've been playing for a whole day today. Look, your hands are bleeding."

"Tomorrow is the emperor's 25th birthday, I have to practice more quickly, otherwise what should I do if I make a fool of myself?"

"Hey...then I'll bandage your fingers." Seeing that she couldn't beat her master, Bi Qing had no choice but to let him go.

"However, Niang Niang, you have made great progress! You were originally babbling and babbling, but now you have everyone's demeanor~"

"You girl! What is ugly? It seems that I am too tolerant of you! How dare you talk to me like that!"

"Yeah~ I know I'm wrong~"

After getting along for a long time, Biqing understands Lin Zijin's temperament more and more, he is tolerant and generous, he doesn't take anything to heart, although he will pretend to be angry to scare himself, but he has never been punished by his master, instead he will accompany him from time to time Eating cakes together, and being able to accompany such a gentle lady, Bi Qing really felt that Sansheng was lucky.

In the early morning of the next day, all the servants were busy, and the palace was bustling with many guests.

"My lady, my lady, it's time to get up, all the concubines will go hunting with the emperor, don't you like riding horses the most~"

"hunt?!"

Lin Zijin lost all sleepiness when he heard the word hunting, and Biqing was even more delighted by the festive atmosphere. She chose a dress for Lin Zijin embroidered with big crabapple flowers in gold thread, and waited on her. Lin Zijin put it on, and carefully smeared rouge and gouache on him, and made a beautiful Lingyun bun. Lin Zijin couldn't stand this kind of dress. According to Biqing, she must let the empress be in front of many concubines. stand out.Besides, on such a grand day, it is a respect for the emperor to dress up grandly.

Lin Zijin didn't want to say anything else, she just wanted to endure this day, the important thing is to go hunting, this little sacrifice is nothing compared to it~

After Biqing arranged everything, she accompanied Lin Zijin out and got into the carriage. On the way to the hunting ground, Lin Zijin was bored, so he lifted the small curtain on the side to look at the scenery outside.

When the carriage drove into a forest, Lin Zijin felt that something was wrong, the surrounding was too quiet, completely inconsistent with the lively atmosphere that should have been today, so she called Bi Qing who was on the side.

"Biqing, why is there no one around? Shouldn't the hunting ground be here?"

"I've never been to a hunting ground, so I don't know..."

"Something's wrong...stop! I want to go down." Lin Zijin raised the curtain and shouted to the groom, but the groom ignored Lin Zijin at all, and the bad premonition in his heart became more and more real. He felt that if he didn't go down again, something bad would happen. The incident happened, so he took Biqing and jumped out of the carriage regardless of the speed of the carriage.

Sure enough, when the groom saw Lin Zijin jumping down, he immediately blew his whistle to signal to his companions lurking in the dark. Although Lin Zijin ran away decisively, after all, he brought Biqing with him, and before he ran far, he was caught by masked men who appeared everywhere. surrounded.

"Who are you from?"

"No comment!"

All the masked men rushed towards Lin Zijin with knives, he let Biqing hide behind him, then dodged the attack of the oncoming person, grabbed the opponent's wrist and pulled it back hard, the pain was so painful that the person couldn't hold it. Steady the knife, it fell on the ground, then Lin Zijin kicked him away, picked up the knife that had just dropped, and swung it to the right to the person who was about to attack him. There were six people on the other side, and it was up to Lin Zijin to get rid of them It's not a difficult task at all, but the clothes I'm wearing today are really not conducive to my own fists.

Then, the other party held a knife and entangled with Lin Zijin endlessly, slashing at him with a knife, Bi Qing at the side saw that the situation was wrong, immediately picked up the stone next to him and threw it at the masked man, instantly attracting the masked man's attention Pay attention, Lin Zijin took advantage of this opportunity to stab the opponent with a knife, but suddenly a person appeared behind him, Lin Zijin had no time to dodge, so he had to defend with his left hand, and swung the knife with his right hand, a long cut was made on his arm, and that People fell in pools of blood.

Biqing had never seen such a scene before, her face was pale with fright, and she finally escaped from being dragged by Lin Zijin. When she returned to the bedroom, Biqing quickly bandaged Lin Zijin's wound, and she burst into tears during the bandage. fall down.

"Woo... slaves are useless, I still need my mother to protect me, I beg my mother to punish me... woo woo..."

"Okay, okay, don't cry, this little injury won't get in the way."

"But……"

"Boom—boom—" The conversation was interrupted by a knock on the door, Biqing got up and went to open the door, it was Suian.

"Eunuch Suian, why are you here?"

"The emperor asked me to ask Concubine Jing why she hasn't arrived yet?"

"Elder-in-law, you don't know! On the way to the hunting ground, my mother was just..."

"I accidentally fell down, please tell your father-in-law to the emperor, I'm afraid I won't be able to go, but it's not a serious problem, please don't worry the emperor."

"Yes, the empress wants to rest, and the slave will leave."

"Your Majesty! You were obviously attacked, why didn't you tell me?"

"This matter is not as simple as you think, besides today is the emperor's birthday, don't spoil the emperor's interest."

In such a lively day, all the concubines are busy dressing up, thinking about how to attract the emperor's attention, who would spend energy on dealing with herself, Lin Zijin thought carefully about her recent behavior in the palace, and finally All I can think of is that the Ministry of Industry's memorial was denied some time ago, and it must have been leaked by servants in the palace.At the beginning, Lin Zijin wondered why the Ministry of Industry proposed border defense construction at that time, and in addition to being assassinated today, now that he thinks about it, the Ministry of Industry must have blocked their way of making money in order to retaliate against him.

And people from the Ministry of Industry must have come to the banquet today, Lin Zijin's status is really inappropriate to cause any disputes, one more thing is worse than one less thing, it's better to avoid it and not meet each other.

Just like that, he couldn't play the guqin that he had practiced so hard for Yu Xiao.Lin Zijin felt a little depressed.

At night, the palace is full of singing and dancing, and the red lights are hung high in the corridors, forming a strong contrast with the quiet atmosphere of Nanyuan.Lin Zijin climbed in front of the window and drank with the bright moon. Now Yu Xiaoding is accepting the blessings of the ministers. At the banquet, the concubines must be scrambling to dance for him. Maybe he is talking and laughing happily with others, if even for a moment, How nice it would be for him to remember himself.

Just when Lin Zijin was thinking wildly, the door was pushed open, and Lin Zijin was a little startled looking at the person who came in.

"How did you come?"

"Can't I come? Where is the injury, let me see."

After hearing the news of Lin Zijin's injury from Sui'an, Yu Xiao wished to rush over immediately, but he was the king of a country, and he couldn't leave the courtiers alone, so he kept drinking at the banquet and endured until he could When exiting.

"I'm fine~ just in time! I have something for you~"

"what?"

Lin Zijin didn't answer, went straight to sit down in front of the guqin, and began to play the strings according to the technique Hongji taught him.Dispersed, tuned, slowed down... the sound of the piano gradually spread like ink, and Yu Xiao was infected by Lin Zijin's focused expression in a slightly drunk state. The feeling of suppressing one's voice and thinking ".The sound of the piano was melodious with the rise and fall of Lin Zijin's hand. Yu Xiao noticed that his fingers were bandaged, and thought it must be because he was practicing hard for himself. Before Lin Zijin finished playing, Yu Xiao stroked his hand and let he stops.

"Did I play badly?"

"No, it's nice, it's just that my heart hurts." Yu Xiao carefully placed Lin Zijin's hand on his chest.
