Your heart's desire

Chi Pin never imagined that what was the black shadow that he couldn't see clearly.

When he regained his senses and looked around, there was nothing around him, and when he looked back, the bluestone floor of the main hall was covered with blood.

The guards guarding at the side had already taken He Jian down, while Luo Yan was lying on the ground frowning in pain, his mouth was groaning silently, a dagger was stuck in his chest, blood was gurgling flowing outward.

He was in a daze and hadn't figured out what happened, but he heard the father-in-law shouting in a sharp voice: "Call to the imperial doctor, pass on to the imperial doctor!"

I don't know who actually spoke up, but I should point in his direction and shout: "Take him down too, these two rebellious officials and thieves intend to plot rebellion."

His arms were suddenly locked and he couldn't move. The two burly guards on the left and right sandwiched his thin body and pushed him very roughly, causing him to nearly fall to the ground several times.

He was still in a daze.He Jian in front of him had a ferocious face, his eyes were almost bloodshot, and the blood on his hand was dripping continuously, but he never said a word.

He stared at He Jian with wide eyes, his lips were trembling uncontrollably, he wanted to ask something, but the moment he saw the sharpness in He Jian's eyes met his, he suddenly restrained and feared for a moment, and lowered his head evasively .

They had clearly agreed before, but He Jianming was just seeking an official position to save their lives.

But now, the imperial city is here, and the official position he wants is easily available, but why would he assassinate Luo Yan?

Chi Pin was full of astonishment, but all this happened so fast that it was too late to go through everything from the beginning, and it was too late for him to figure out how many people there were in front of this familiar person who had already died once. The words are true to themselves.

Four or five strong and burly men escorted the two of them out from the gate of the Hall of Mental Cultivation, all the way to the gate of the prison.

Chi Pin has always been silent, his eyes lowered secretly, not knowing how to speak.

Unknowingly, the bloody breath in the nose has turned into a gloomy and coquettish air, which made people sneezed a few times.

The sky was too bright just now, but now it is suddenly dark, and the sight is not very clear, only a few faint firelights in this corridor can be used to look at people, and all the eyes are blood-stained, dying bodies.

The body was pushed violently, and the two of them were pressed together. There was a sound of chains near them, and then the steps moved further and further away.

He Jian hurriedly turned his body up, and took Chi Pin into his arms.Chi Pin didn't resist, and stood up following his strength, but just moved his body and leaned against the wall, turning his eyes to the other side so as not to look at him.

"Don't you want to ask me what's going on?"

After all, they have been together for half a month, so Chipin's kindness to him is naturally undeniable, and it must be a lie to say that he has no half-hearted affection.

But Chi Pin didn't say a word, he shrunk his body into a ball, resting his mandible between his knees, his brows were calm, and waited until he finally couldn't bear his temper, turned over and made some noises on the straw mat under him, and then responded He said: "It doesn't matter, I will really see him. If Luo Yan dies, this life will be counted on me."

After Chipin said such words in Lin's residence, when he returned to the palace, Luo Yan immediately sent someone to Jiangnan to fetch Lin Ying back.

Speeding up the horse, it would take more than a day and a night to run, but someone sent out to report.

When he said that he was already waiting outside, it was the time when he would open his eyes on the bed the next day.

Last night Luo Yan was carried into the bedroom by a group of guards, and all the imperial physicians in the palace gathered outside the hall with their medicine boxes on their backs.

But the father-in-law who was waiting close by only led Zhang Lv into the door. As soon as the door was closed, a few low growls came from inside after a long time, and then there was no more news.

Civil and military officials came to see them one by one, but they were all turned away. Gold, silver and jewels stuffed the pockets of consuls and eunuchs bulging, but they didn't reveal too much. A bloody handkerchief came out.

The words that come out are all kinds of strange, and they can say anything.But after all, it was just a rumor, no one saw it with their own eyes, and no one dared to say what the current situation was like.

But the news that the emperor summoned an ordinary citizen early this morning caused all the officials in the court to explode for a while.

Luo Yan stood by the window and looked out. In the courtyard covered by green trees and vines, a man whose face was not clear was standing quietly, but that figure was indeed the one that had popped up in his mind countless times.

There were a few crisp birdsongs on the branches that could be heard, and an eunuch serving inside ordered the door to be opened, and stood under the eaves to deliver a message: "Young Master Lin, the Emperor welcomes you!"

Now that he has taken off his official uniform and relived his old days in the Jiangnan countryside, he has a more gentle and refined temperament, his eyes are no longer sharp, and he has become much gentler, and even the rhythm of his steps has changed. Slowed down a bit, as if reborn.

Stepping into the main hall, there are three or five palace people waiting on it. The room is more luxurious than the former Taifu's mansion, and there are many things he has never seen before in the decorations, which made him smile.

Looking in, Luo Yan was sitting on the chair by the bed with a weak face, his eyes were fixed on him, and he slowly raised his hand with great effort: "Wei Zhi, come here!"

He looked at Luo Yan smiling, not as heartless as he was in the hall that day, and said: "We will be separated from each other from now on, and we will no longer have anything to do with each other."

It's just that in this short period of time, he has aged a lot, his complexion is so haggard, his temples have shiny silver hair, and even a slight movement of his body will make his breathing very heavy.

Lin Ying's steps became more and more heavy, his head echoed over and over again what he was going to say next, but looking at Luo Yan's appearance, he couldn't say anything.

Waiting to get close, Luo Yan pulled him to the front, raised his eyes and put his hands on his chest, as if waiting for a long time, the joy of a dream come true, said: "Wei Zhi, I finally see you again." it's your turn."

His tears were on the edge of his eyes, his heart was tightly clenched, and he really wanted to hug him in his arms.But when he opened his mouth, he could only say: "Your Majesty, please let the late hire go."

The smile on Luo Yan's face froze immediately, and the movement of stroking Lin Ying's hands suddenly stopped.Lin Ying suddenly bent his knees, pulled out his clasped hands, leaned over and knelt down in front of him.

"What are you talking about, the two of them are going to kill me, even so, do you still want to intercede for them?"

Luo Yan tried his best to be very calm, he didn't understand why, why he brought him back obviously by himself.Why is it obvious that there is no opinion about the delay in hiring, but when he came back, it was still because of the delay in hiring.

Lin Ying lowered his face, not daring to look into Luo Yan's eyes, calmed down for a while, and said the same thing: "Please let the emperor release the late hire, all the crimes, the grassroots will bear it alone."

Luo Yan burst out laughing, he was responsible for it alone, what do you mean by that?Could it be that he, Lin Ying, could not have planned the assassination alone?

"Are you alone? Lin Weizhi, are you going to tell me... tell me that you want me to die?"

When he said this, his heart trembled, and he never dared to imagine what would happen if it was true, but Lin Ying let out a long breath slowly, raised his sleeve and waved it in the face, and then suddenly Raising his head, his eye sockets were red and wet.

"As long as the emperor can let them go, no matter what the crime is, the grassroots will admit it!"

"presumptuous!"

Lin Ying obviously looked as if he was going to die, as if he wanted to take a gamble between himself and Luo Yan.

Luo Yan was completely irritated by his attitude, he stood up and raised his hand to pat the table, his eyes were wide open, he took a deep breath, but he seemed to be unable to catch his breath.

"Why, why you only have a late hire in your heart, why you can't see no matter how many things I do..."

"You... what do you take me for?"

Losing strength in his body, he turned his back, and the eunuch serving beside him hurriedly waved his hands, Lin Ying's heart twitched, and he got up and was about to help, but Luo Yan couldn't hold back anymore, a mouthful of pus and blood spattered He came out and sprinkled Lin Ying all over his face.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The serving father-in-law moved him onto the bed and swayed back and forth, shaking his mouth while shouting.

"Come here, tell the imperial doctor to take this traitor and traitor into custody!"

Luo Yan hadn't passed out yet, and fell on the bed, facing Lin Ying's eyes. The guards outside hadn't entered the room yet, the tears in his eyes kept falling on the pillow, and he stopped talking: " I know you are afraid that I will anger him because of your affairs, but what you are doing now is just doing the opposite. If I really kill him, remember, you killed him, Lin Wei Of!"

He had a weak look on his face, and his tone was flat, but it pierced Lin Yingwei's chest like a sharp knife.

Who can he tell about his current situation, whether it is Chipin or Luo Yan, whoever leaves him, he may not be able to bear it.

And not just because it made him sad.He has suffered so much over the years, Luo Yan is the thing he is most afraid of, he will not know, but he still wants to force himself.

Three or two people from outside rushed in with knives and bound Lin Ying's arms as he was ordered.

Lin Ying's face was calm, his eyebrows and eyes were still on Luo Yan, and seeing that his eyes could not be opened, his voice was low and choked: "Qingshan, I would rather die than watch you take the late-employment offer by yourself. Life, that would make me suffer a thousand times more than calling me dead, you know?"

Lin Ying knew that Luo Yan heard it, and he tried to use the last sentence to redeem everything.

Luo Yan didn't respond, and didn't move again, as if falling asleep could prevent all this from happening.
