Today, I have also angered my parents
The proposal for Luo Yi to enter the palace was suggested by Xu Shilian the first time the two of them met.
He had long anticipated that Chen Jinyan would not let this opportunity go, so he made preparations to enter the palace. However, most of these people were not smart enough, and they were not loyal enough either, so he was hesitant about choosing anyone to be his spy.
Luo Yi unconsciously clenched her fingers.
When Xu Heng said that he shouldn't trust anyone, she clenched his teeth and walked forward by himself. After all, most people in the world were lonely and bitter.
But these words could never be said to Lin Ting.
Lin Ting was so angry that his teeth were hurting, the corners of his mouth were twitching as though he was about to laugh, making people feel cold at his back.
He had never said something so harsh to Luo Yi before, ”If you really think your life is too long, why didn't you say so earlier? Then I won't do anything to save you … Furthermore, why did I save you? ”
drank a mouthful of tea, then turned to Luo Yi with a gaze full of sarcasm: ”Waiting to see how you will act so cheap today?”
Luo Yi's eyes instantly turned red, but she still did not say anything.
At the side, Tang Yuan and Yi Qiannan were so frightened by the atmosphere between the two that they didn't dare to speak. When they heard these words, they couldn't help but frown, ”You've passed, haven't you …”
They had originally wanted to leave with Xu Shilian so that they could talk together. But who would have thought that Luo Yi would call them softly before she could even finish her words, ”Wait a moment …”
”I have something that I need your help with.”
These words were said to Yi Qiannan, who was stunned for a moment. There was a perplexed look on his face: ”Me? What can I help you with? ”
”I need an identity to enter the palace.”
According to the etiquette system, choosing a concubine in the palace was a very important matter. The imperial concubine would have to undergo a thorough examination before the emperor or empress would personally examine the contents of the family history and knowledge, but due to the special circumstances and the fact that the imperial concubine would inevitably have to pay a heavy toll on the people and waste of time, the imperial concubine would have to go through a series of procedures. The imperial concubine would have to simply choose a woman of appropriate age from the family of a third rank or higher official.
Yi Qiannan looked at Lin Ting's increasingly gloomy face, then turned to look at Tang Yuan who had not spoken a word since then, and spoke as if he was seeking courage: ”Today, before I left, I received an imperial edict saying that the new emperor is merciful, and that my Yi family would be merciful, but my family does not have any sisters, so I did not take it to heart. How do you know? ”
Just as his words fell, Lin Ting gave a cold laugh, ”Hah, how else would you know? ”I didn't know that Miss Luo and the dignified prime minister had such a close relationship!”
His words were full of ridicule and mockery, no matter how thick a skin Luo Yi had, he could not endure it, furthermore, in all these years, Lin Ting had never said such words to her.
Tang Yuan also could not listen to it any longer. When he saw that Lin Ting wanted to say something, he stopped him, ”Lin Ting!”
There was a rarely seen seriousness in his tone, Lin Ting paused for a moment, and in the end, did not continue speaking. Instead, he forcefully shut his eyes, and turned his head to the side.
Before he spoke, he passed a handkerchief to. ”Lin Ting and I have watched you grow up, although we are not blood related, you should understand that we have always truly treated you as our own sister.”
She held a handkerchief to her eyes for a moment, and when she lowered her hand she could even smile at him.
Tang Yuan could not bear it anymore, but seeing Lin Ting's expression, he steeled his heart and said, ”Do you know what this decision of yours means?”
”No family, no people.” A place like the backyard of the palace is not something that ordinary families like us can get involved in. ”
His tone remained calm, as if he was trying to explain a simple truth to a young child, but the words that came out of his mouth were extremely realistic. ”You have no freedom, no friends, and even no lover …”
Lin Ting added: ”Once you enter the palace, you must know, your husband is a lord, not a husband.”
”I know.” After a long period of silence, Luo Yi opened his mouth.
As if her voice was a thousand kilograms heavy stone, the instant she opened her mouth, a bloody shadow that had been tortured appeared. Luo Yi coughed lightly twice to clear her throat, as she said in a voice so firm that it made one feel exasperated: ”I don't regret it.”
I don't regret it at all, ”Lin Ting said as he stood up, and accidentally swept the teacup on the table with his sleeves:” If you have such ambition, then I shouldn't have blocked your way.
”I can't do it!”
After Lin Ting finished speaking, he flicked his sleeves and left, leaving the other three people to look at each other in the space filled with silence. After a while, Lin Ting walked forward and patted Luo Yi's shoulder, ”You should go back with Yi Qiannan first.
Yi Qiannan quickly nodded his head.
The three of them did not speak for the rest of the time. After Tang Yuan gave Yi Qiannan a few simple words, he went to chase after Lin Ting.
”You … ”Do you really not regret it?” Yi Qiannan suddenly stopped in his tracks before entering the building and asked absentmindedly.
Luo Yi was already upset, hearing his question was strange, but after looking up at him once, she still nodded silently.
”Then you can go. Actually, I've been wanting to have a sister for a long time.”
Yi Qiannan's tone suddenly became cheerful as a warm smile rose on his face. He then placed an arm on Luo Yi's shoulder.
Luo Yi looked up at the man who spoke in a daze.
Ever since she spoke out her plans, no one else stood on her side. Thus, when someone suddenly expressed their support for her, she didn't even know how to react, and her expression was also completely blank.
Yi Qiannan smiled and rubbed her hair, but his words were completely at odds with his current expression, ”You don't need to rush to express anything.”
”I don't object because I don't care.”
He said with a smile, ”I don't care what kind of people you meet in the palace, what kind of things you encounter, and whether your life is in danger.”
”The human heart is cold and detached. If you really want to enter the palace, you must first remember this point.”
He spoke of the cold reality with a gentle expression, saying that if there really was someone in this world who would be led astray by their nose by their own will, it could only mean that this person cared about you a lot.
”Only an outsider can understand your difficulties from the perspective of an onlooker,” he said.
