    Chapter Index

    Even though she had expected it, Su Moyi couldn’t help but feel her heart twitch when she heard her ask such words.

    He raised his head, smiling a little sadly.

    In her eyes, is he just the selfless minister of Dali Temple?

    However, the Dali Temple Minister’s first thought when he saw the Queen Mother’s secret letter was not to arrest her and question her, but to protect her.

    These were things she had never thought of or cared about.

    There was a long silence, the cold wind blew over Liao Kuo.

    Su Moyi looked at the person in front of her and suddenly felt that she had never understood her before.There was some bitterness in my heart suddenly, but I still smiled, “So… Qingqing, have you ever completely trusted me?”

    Lin Wanqing was startled by he’s question, and finally there was a hint of panic in her calm eyes. She opened her mouth several times, but always hesitated.

    Have you ever believed it?

    Believe it.

    The two of them experienced life and death together and went into danger together. It would be a lie to say that they don’t believe it.But he wanted complete trust, and Lin Wanqing asked herself that she couldn’t do it.

    For more than ten years, she has been living in boundless darkness.I faced the long journey alone, never in a group or with any companions.She has long been accustomed to walking alone in silence. Concealment is a means of survival and the only way out.

    There is nothing better than loneliness to protect her heavy burden.

    Su Moyi was the first person to break into her world and peel off her disguise.

    Lin Wanqing thought this was enough, because if he went further, he would peel off her heart.

    Afterwards, the two would just lie bloody together.

    She is someone who has narrowly escaped death and knows the pointlessness of this.Therefore, even in the most boiling love, she will quietly put a piece of ice in it.

    But she never thought that this piece of ice would frostbite the person in front of her; she never thought that when she saw his injury, she would also feel pain.

    Heavy snow fell, turning the lush grassland outside the house white.It seems that everything ends in blank silence.

    The two looked at each other, so close yet separated by the longest distance.

    “Jingche,” she spoke suddenly, but her mouth and nose seemed to be blocked, and her voice was sour, “Why bother?”

    Why bother to cling to this and hold on to it, why bother to press on step by step and kill yourself with a knife.

    After a long time, she heard Su Moyi sigh with laughter, and it seemed like thousands of words turned into white mist between her lips with this breath.

    He still looked at her with gentle eyes.

    “Can I ask you three questions?” he said, “Answer them truthfully and don’t lie to me.”

    Lin Wanqing bit her lip and nodded in acquiescence.

    “On the night of the thunderstorm, I was drugged. Did you save me out of selfish motives?”

    Lin Wanqing’s whole body trembled uncontrollably, and when her lips and teeth closed, she didn’t utter a single word.

    “You promise not to lie to me,” Su Moyi looked at her with slightly sad eyes.

    The hand holding the baggage tightened, and after a while, a syllable floated out from Lin Wanqing’s breath.

    she said: “Yes.”

    Su Moyi was startled for a moment, then continued to ask, “That night in Hongzhou, when you drank Dou Xin, besides saving me, did you also have any intention of overturning the case for the Xiao family?”

    Another “yes”, this time, she didn’t hesitate.

    Su Moyi’s face was already ugly, and the spark in her deep eyes just now was like firewood destroyed by the wind and snow, gradually cooling down and turning into pure white.

    he was silent for a long time, and finally asked, “If I hadn’t forced you, would you… never thought of marrying me?”

    “Yes.”

    The word “quiet” is very light, like the falling white snow all around – no ups and downs, but cold to the heart.

    “Yes,” Su Moyi nodded, “I understand.”

    The voice was as calm as ice.

    He didn’t say anything else, turned around, got the oil lamp, and lit it.

    “In this case, I will not force others to do anything.”

    The firelight gradually brightened, dancing on his fingertips. The warm light reflected his deep eyes, but it could no longer warm his eyes.

    He turned sideways and took out the “marriage certificate” from the box – it was obviously a thin piece of paper, but when he held it in his hand, it seemed to weigh a thousand pounds.

    The slender fingers looked skinny under the bright candlelight.He slowly raised his hand and stopped when he passed through the candlelight.

    The firelight stained the gradually yellowing paper and became brighter. The handwriting on the letter curled with the flames and turned into a wisp of smoke.

    “My love is tied to you. I wish you a stable life and peaceful years. I will never leave you for the rest of my life.”

    The handwriting was eaten away one by one, and Lin Wanqing felt as if a blunt knife had been inserted into her chest, cutting her piece by piece with blood.

    “Qingqing, I love you.”

    “Don’t be afraid, I’m here.”

    “Qingqing, trust me.”

    “Go to sleep, I will bring you back.”

    “Qingqing… Qingqing…”

    “Stop…stop…Su Moyi, stop!” Her voice changed from a growl to a cry, like a dying person trying to grasp the only straw.

    There was a loud bang and the oil lamp was overturned to the ground.

    Lin Wanqing desperately protected the “marriage certificate” in her hand that had been burned beyond recognition, and she burst into tears and burst into tears.

    Her hands were burned by the hot oil, but it was nothing compared to the pain in her heart.

    She remembers that she doesn’t like to cry in front of others.

    The room became dark again, and the snow was still falling.The wind blew up a cloud of snow and mist, which was miserable and miserable, like someone’s cry.

    “I will investigate the Xiao family’s case for you. You leave Dali Temple, and we…will stop here.”

    Su Moyi left.

    Lin Wanqing didn’t dare to look at him.

    She heard his footsteps gradually retreating, and walked out of her world little by little, quietly, just like when she came.

    There were his footprints on the path in the yard, and he left without any hesitation.

    This falling snow seems to be endless, and the light is cold and cold, just like when I was four years old.

    The sky outside the window was cut into countless pieces by the window lattice and eaves, and my eyes were swollen by the snow-colored skylight.

    In Shengjing in the tenth year of Zhaoyuan, she seemed to be buried in the heavy snow thirteen years ago again.

    *
    “Hey…”

    In the carriage burning with red radish charcoal, the Queen Mother put down the curtain in her hand and sighed sadly.

    Seeing this, Nanny Ji, who was waiting in the car beside her, pushed the charcoal basin under her feet closer to her and asked, “Is the Queen Mother cold?”

    The Queen Mother shook her head, with a sad look on her face, “The grandson of the Ai family is really… ugh… it’s so miserable.”

    As an old man next to the Queen Mother, Mother Ji certainly understands what she is talking about.

    But matters of romance are always difficult to resolve, not to mention that the Queen Mother is just an outsider watching, so it is even harder for her to say anything.Therefore, she comforted her calmly: “Perhaps she will let it go after a while, and the queen mother does not have to worry about the prince.”

    “Hey…” The Queen Mother sighed again.

    Everyone knows that Su Moyi is her grandson who she loves like a baby. Since the death of Princess Anyang, she has not let him suffer the slightest grievance.

    He has always been arrogant, and most of the time he is just pretending to be polite, steady and modest. In fact, with his consistent temperament, he does not take anyone seriously.

    Now, he was injured like this by a little girl.

    The Queen Mother couldn’t help but feel so angry that her whole body ached. She raised her head and held her forehead.

    Seeing her like this, Mother Ji hurriedly stepped forward and pressed her temples, “If the Queen Mother is angry, she should arrest that girl. After all, she is the daughter of an imperial convict and should not be alive until now.”

    The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said angrily: “What about the imperial prisoners? How dare the Ai family take care of the imperial prisoners that the dignitaries of Dali Temple don’t care about?!”

    Mother Ji knew she had said the wrong thing and quickly shut up.

    Lin Wanqing’s identity was secretly checked by the Queen Mother.

    No matter how much she dotes on Su Moyi, she can’t help but consider his safety.

    In fact, at first, she just suspected that Lin Wanqing was a spy planted by King Liang’s party around Su Moyi.But it seemed that she was somewhat sincere towards Su Moyi, so the Queen Mother didn’t have the means to be strong-willed.

    But I never thought that this investigation would reveal such a huge secret.

    Just arrest him. With Su Moyi’s temper, he might fall out with her.But let’s pretend she doesn’t know anything, because she really can’t do it.

    Therefore, she simply left the matter to Su Moyi to handle.

    In terms of Qing, he is the only son of Anyang; in terms of Li, he is the minister of Dali Temple appointed by the imperial court.

    In terms of emotions and reasons, it is better for him to show up than she.

    But…

    The Queen Mother rubbed her painful heart. She didn’t expect that in these years, she would raise such a grandson who pretended to be a self-interested person and was so lustful that he was mentally retarded.

    But fortunately, that girl is not a shameless person, and she did not stalk her after her identity was exposed.

    The Queen Mother then gave up her thoughts of killing her.

    More than ten years have passed since the incident. Even if Xiao Jingyan and Xiao Liangdi are guilty, what does a four-year-old girl know?

    Besides, she had no father, no mother, and no one to rely on for so many years. She had already suffered enough.

    Seeing how she had saved Su Moyi several times, the Queen Mother didn’t want to argue with her anymore.

    “That’s all, that’s all…” The Queen Mother waved her hand, signaling for Nanny Ji to stop, “Now that there are so many things going on in the past, the Ai family doesn’t want to have trouble with a little girl. Since Jing Che wants to keep her, then let him. It’s just…”

    The Queen Mother paused, with a stern look in her eyes, “Send someone to keep a close eye on the Ai family. If she dares to approach or seduce Jing Che again, the Ai family will not be kind enough to spare her life.”

    Mother Ji agreed and nodded.

    The carriage stopped at Danfeng Gate.

    Today is the day according to plan, the Queen Mother will take the Queen to the palace to escape the cold.

    Because of busy political affairs, Su Moyi came to see him off on behalf of the emperor.

    Shengjing has been experiencing heavy snowfall for several days recently, and the palace officials started clearing the snow and removing ice early in the morning. Despite this, the official road was still covered in fog.

    Su Moyi got off her horse, walked over from behind the team, and said goodbye to the Queen Mother.

    I don’t know if it was an illusion, but the Queen Mother always felt that he seemed to have lost a lot of weight.His facial features, which were originally sharp, now seemed even more distant.

    “Jingche,” the Queen Mother couldn’t help but call him, and stepped forward to tighten the velvet cloak on his body.

    “While the Ai family is away, no matter how busy you are, you have to take care of yourself, you know?”

    Su Moyi nodded expressionlessly.

    The Queen Mother’s heart froze again when she saw he’s state of mind and body, and she glanced at Nanny Ji beside her.

    Mother Ji understood immediately. She took out a bunch of posts from her arms and presented them to Su Moyi with both hands.

    “This is the noble daughter of Shengjing who is still waiting to be married. Just listen to what Ai Jia has to say…”

    When the Queen Mother saw that Su Moyi was about to interrupt, she glared at he, waved her hand and continued: “You were too withdrawn before and had too little contact with women. Emotions are different from laws, and cases are not decided according to laws. It has to be someone else. If you are thinking about it, try more and don’t embarrass yourself.”

    Su Moyi stood expressionless and didn’t move for a long time.

    The Queen Mother simply took He’s hand and stuffed everything in Nanny Ji’s hand into He’s arms.

    “The month I saw you last year, County Master An was infatuated with you. How long has it been, and she has rejected all the posts asking for marriage, so do you want to…”

    “My grandson understands,” Su Moyi still looked cold and calm, bowing to the Queen Mother, as if urging her to get on her way quickly, “Please take care of yourself, Queen Mother, and don’t worry about trivial matters.”

    Yes, what this little bastard means is, don’t worry about my affairs.

    The Queen Mother suffered a loss and had no choice but to roll her eyes, turned around and got into the carriage.

    Su Moyi watched the mighty group of people marching away, and held the post in her hand tightly.

    Yes, emotional things don’t make sense.

    It’s not like she has to be.

    ——————

    So should I pursue my wife or my husband later?I’m confused too…
