worthless [rebirth]

Later, Chen Ling fell asleep for some reason, and was very tired from sleeping, dreaming non-stop.

……

He dreamed that he was standing on the city and looking down at a man, who smiled obscenely and wickedly, and the man said to him: "It's okay to retreat, as long as you come with me..."

……

He dreamed that he entered a room and saw his father and Qin Shan. They gave him something and talked for a long time.

……

Then the scene changed, he had been sent to Jiang Country and became a hostage, he saw the man said to him in a deep voice: "From now on, your name is Ziling..."

"No...I'm not Ziling, my name is Chen Ling..." Chen Ling resisted and struggled, but he could only watch helplessly as he smiled and knelt in front of the man in his dream, bowed his head, and said softly: "Thank you Jianghuang ..."

In front of Jiang Guo's civil and military officials, and in front of Li Guo's envoys, as the Prince of Li Palace, he knelt down in front of the man on the dragon chair.

"Chen Ling, stand up! You can't kneel down to that person! What about your bones! He treats you like this, what about your bones?" Chen Ling wished he could rush to "myself" and beat him up so that he could recognize him clearly. , "You're just...a stand-in..."

He bowed his head in salute, his lightly drooping eyes covered the incomprehensible emotions in his eyes, but where the man couldn't see, he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled coldly.

……

The night is like water, and the moonlight is slightly cool.

The man took off his clothes, and the light gauze tent on the large dragon bed blocked the charming room.

The man said to him: "Zi Ling, I love you..."

He laughed and burst into tears, sat on the man, with frivolous eyes: "I love you too."

……

The man walked slowly in the spring rain with his back on his back, and sat next to each other under the weeping willows by the lake, letting the green branches cast a curtain to isolate them from the outside world, and the breeze was cool.

……

It was a water prison. A cross stood in the middle of the dirty and foul-smelling sewage pool. The man was tied to the frame with his head hanging down and covered in blood. Creatures like water rats crawled on the man from time to time.

"哗啦" There was a sound of metal collisions, and the iron lock of the water prison was opened, and he walked in slowly. He still looked like a handsome young man, with a jade crown and hair, cold and aloof, but there was a little more evil between his brows, as if Just like the men of old.

Standing by the pool, he looked down at the crippled man in the water, and said coolly, "You hate me?"

The man moved a bit, and the rat on his shoulder fell into the water with a "plop". The man raised his head stiffly, and glanced at him, his gaze was a little less focused, as if he had already been numb.No hate, but also... no love.

The man said nothing, lowered his head again, and never looked at him again.

……

It was a palace, a palace wrapped in gold paper, gleaming and dazzling.

On the bright yellow dragon bed, the man was lying motionless with his eyes closed. His body was covered with freshly scabbed wounds. Looking at his pale face, if it wasn't for the heaving of his chest, people would have thought he was dead.

He took a bowl of dark brown liquid, opened the man's mouth, and forcefully poured it in.

"Why don't you open your eyes to look at me? I know you're awake..." Putting down the bowl, he said slowly, his voice hoarse.

The man's chapped lips moved, he laughed at himself, and said in a low voice, "I thought... my eyes were already blind."

His face sank, and he slammed the bowl on the ground.

The palace was full of unbearable voices, but the palace guards outside all pretended to be deaf and blind, and cowered without saying a word.

"Bang!" He slammed the door and left, the neckline of the bright yellow robe was slightly open, and the sweat on his neck formed a string, reflecting his furious face.

……

In the end... there was blood in front of my eyes...

……

"Zi Ling, tomorrow is my birthday, you should move to Chengqian Palace."

"I want your person, and I want your heart."

"I'm still afraid... I'm afraid God will hate my greed and refuse to give me so much..."

"Ling'er, I love you..."

……

"Hmm..." His head hurt like it exploded, like watching an incoherent play, from the beginning to the end of the play, those scenes that seemed real and fake kept interlacing, until he had to wake up because of the headache.

Pressing the "chug"'s throbbing temples, Chen Ling opened his eyes. He seemed to have some impressions of the dream when he first woke up, but when he was fully awake, he only had a headache.

"Wake up, you've been in a coma for more than ten hours." Seeing that Chen Ling woke up, Jiang Chi grabbed his hand.

Yesterday, Chen Ling was talking in his arms and suddenly passed out. The imperial doctor saw that the problem was not serious, but he was too nervous and tired, and would feel better if he slept, but Jiang Chi didn't expect Chen Ling to fall asleep all at once. For so long, it made him worry all night.

Seeing that Jiang Chi was still wearing yesterday's clothes, Chen Ling's eyes were pale blue, and said, "You... have been sitting here all night?"

"Seeing that you have been frowning and can't sleep well, so..." Jiang Chi smiled, stretched out his hand to gently rub Chen Ling's temples, and said, "It's okay, I'm not tired. Do you have a headache? Come, let's rub it."

"..." Chen Ling flinched, pushed Jiang Chi's hand away, turned his head away, and said flatly, "Thank you, but there's no need."

"..." Jiang Chi was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly, "Fool, why thank me?"

Chen Ling lowered his eyes, and said softly, "Did you miss the time to go to court?"

"It's okay, I've already sent someone to preach the decree, and I'm exempt from court today." Jiang Chi said, looking at the sky outside, it was sunny, and it was almost noon, so he said: "I'm hungry after sleeping for so long, get up quickly After dinner, follow me to Chengqian Palace."

"Chengqian Palace..." Chen Ling murmured, and smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes were extremely empty.

Finally able to leave Fengwu Palace, and finally able to leave Jiang Chi.

"Okay." Chen Ling responded, sitting up and getting dressed.

Jiang Chi was happy, so he didn't pay attention so much. After Chen Ling finished dressing and washing, and the two had dinner together, Jiang Chi sent someone to move Chen Ling's things to Chengqian Palace.

In order to supervise the little eunuchs not to damage Chen Ling's things, Xiaotao followed them first.

Jiang Chi wanted Chen Ling to ride the dragon chariot with him, but Chen Ling refused.

"I want to take a walk." Chen Ling said indifferently, "Achi, you can walk with me. I have been in the palace for so long, and I have never been anywhere except Fengwu Palace."

Hearing Chen Ling's calm voice, Jiang Chi knew that the other party must be blaming him for restricting him to Fengwu Palace in the first place.

"Didn't I give you a token when I was in Chaozhou? From now on, if you hold the token, no one will stop you anywhere in the palace." Jiang Chi said, he wanted to make up for Chen Ling, even if the past injuries were not So easy to make up.

Chen Ling paused, "Is it okay to leave the palace?"

"Going out of the palace?" Jiang Chi glanced at Chen Ling, saw that he was just asking casually, so he said with a smile: "Yes, not to mention going out of the palace, just going out of the city..."

"I heard from Xiaotao that there is a lotus pond in front of Chengqian Palace. Let's go and see the flowers." Chen Ling said calmly, and interrupted Jiang Chi before he could finish speaking.What Chen Ling wanted to know, he already knew.If he continued, Jiang Chi might become suspicious.

"It's past the season for the lotus to bloom, I'm afraid there are no flowers." Jiang Chi said.

"The flowering period has passed?" Chen Ling smiled wryly, thinking that it was really suitable for the occasion, just like his feelings for Jiang Chi missed the flowering period as soon as it sprouted, and withered quickly, "Forget it then," he said.

"But it's not necessarily true. There were a few buds that bloomed late a few days ago. It's okay to go and have a look." Not wanting to lose Chen Ling's interest, Jiang Chi said, took Chen Ling by the hand and led him to the lotus pond.

The surface of the water is full of yellow and green lotus leaves and lotus pods that are gradually turning ripe. The wind blew a few days ago, and some lotus leaves were broken by the wind and rotted in the water. Before they had time to clean up, it was a mess.

"It's really withered..." Chen Ling sighed, then turned around silently, "Ah Chi, let's go back."

"Okay, it doesn't matter if you don't look at it. It's sad to see such a miserable scene. I'll send someone to clean up the pond today. I'll come to see it with you as soon as the flowers bloom tomorrow." Jiang Chi said, raising his hand. Bu wanted to keep up with Chen Ling, but when he turned around, he saw two small tender yellow lotus flowers under a half-yellow lotus leaf.

Maybe it was covered by the leaves above, so they didn't see it just now, but it was also because of the cover of the lotus leaves that the two flowers were able to escape the wind and rain and bloom at the end.

"Ling'er!" Jiang Chi called Chen Ling, and said happily, "Look there!"

Linger... Linger...

Chen Ling paused, then turned around slowly, and saw two lotus flowers in an inconspicuous place in the pool.

The flowers bloom side by side, and the fragrance is lingering, closely dependent on each other.

Those are two parallel lotuses.

"Bingdi... lotus?" Chen Ling walked back a few steps and looked at the flowers in the pond from a distance, blooming in the mess. At that moment, he was a little shocked by the scene in front of him, and even a little moved.

Hua'er can still be with each other, why is it so difficult for him to love just one person.

"I'm actually a little envious of them..." Chen Lingxin looked at the two flowers enviously, said softly, and unconsciously said what was in her heart, "To be able to accompany each other, no matter how bad the environment is."

Jiang Chi gently hugged Chen Ling into his arms from behind, kissed his earlobe, and said softly, "You are not alone, you have me too. They must be envious of us. Flowers only have a short flowering period, and We can have a long life..."

"A lifetime is too long..." Chen Ling smiled and sighed. He stretched out his hand, trying to touch the two flowers with his fingertips, but after all, they were only a few feet away.

Just like him and Jiang Chi, they hug each other tightly, but there is Mo Ziling between them.
