Remembrance Hibiscus GL

Chapter 130

Binglun sat there, motionless and silent, the candlelight was flickering, reflecting her face, beautiful, firm, and extremely quiet.

The hall was silent, and the two looked at each other for a moment. Huo Lin had returned to his normal expression. He lowered his eyes and his voice became a little low: "I have had a hard time living in Xijiang these years." After a pause , sighed: "It's beyond my expectation that I can live till now."

Binglun said: "I know."

"It's the same for you in the palace."

Binglun didn't answer, Huo Lin looked at her and smiled: "I never drink alcohol, and I don't get close to women, just because these are easy to make people addicted and weak. Wherever I go, the sword is always with me. Because it gives me peace of mind.”

Binglun said: "It sounds very reasonable."

"I'm not explaining to you." Huo Lin stared at her with a rare frankness: "Because even so, I can't say that I have no defense against you. Born in such a family, Growing up in such an environment, suspicion has long been my nature, my instinct to protect myself. But I hope you can understand that being here tonight is my greatest trust in you."

Binglun looked at the handsome face in front of him that was [-] to [-]% similar to himself, sighed deeply in his heart, and said slowly: "I believe it."

Huo Lin said: "I've always been thinking these days, along the way, we have endured so much, paid so much, we have planned step by step, we have worked hard to plan, we have worked hard, we have exhausted our brains, and we finally managed to get it. Today, no matter what I get, I deserve it, and no matter what you get, it’s what you deserve.” He focused on Binglun, and suddenly changed the subject: “If you want, I can do my best to help you ascend On the throne."

Binglun laughed, and Huo Lin said: "Every word of my words comes from the heart."

"how about you?"

"Of course I long for the throne. If it were you, I would like to live as the prince forever and assist you wholeheartedly."

"What about the conditions?"

Huo Lin said: "There are no conditions, as long as Zong Xu dies."

Binglun said: "Zong Xu is not as threatening as you imagined."

"But you can't deny that his existence is indeed a threat."

"You're not going to let him go, are you?"

"You raised him at the beginning just to use him. We agreed that we will not keep him after the matter is completed." Huo Lin said: "During the journey, so many people died, damn it, don't deserve it, you I never frowned, and never hesitated. I don't understand why you suddenly softened. If it's because of the so-called mother-child relationship, should I be more worried about my situation? "

Binglun was silent, and after a long while, Huo Lin spoke again: "You said that with my ability, you can coerce you out of the palace safely. Whether you believe it or not, I will tell you that from the beginning to the end, I have never thought of such a thing." , I love you and respect you, and I will never hurt you. The General's Mansion was never my home, Huo Mu was not my father, Huo Song and Huo Ze were not my brothers, but you are my sister, I The only family." He gritted his teeth, and continued: "When you asked me to help you, I stood by your side without hesitation, not only because you promised me the throne, but also because I have one heart with you. I only want to follow you. Now, it's your turn to choose."

Time seemed to be frozen, and the air was so quiet that it was almost suffocating.There was still no expression on Binglun's face, but a certain part of his heart had begun to ache.Huo Lin waited for a long time, both disappointed and unspeakably uncomfortable: "Is his life more important than the throne to you?"

"I'm not interested in the throne." Binglun said indifferently: "The only thing I lack now is the title of emperor. I have tasted the feeling of holding the supreme power in the world a long time ago, and it's nothing more than that."

Huo Lin said: "But you still have to decide between me and Zong Xu."

"You ascended the throne, and he survived, isn't this enough result?"

"He is alive, I will never be at ease, and I can't really be at ease with you." Huo Rin looked into her eyes, and his tone was slightly gentle: "You know, I didn't have to say these things to you."

"You don't have to say it."

"But I don't want to lie to you. I want you to know what I'm thinking in my heart." Huo Lin said, "We are brothers and sisters. There is no need for conspiracy, force or bloodshed between us. I don't know if you are I don’t think so, but I will never plot against you, fight with you, let alone fight to the death with you. My cousin Wanxi is dead, and my wife is gone. In this world, I only have you .”

The "wife" he said refers to Binglun's biological mother, Mrs. Wang.Binglun's body trembled slightly, her hands on her knees unconsciously tightened, and the light blue tendons on the back of her hands, which were as bright as jade, became more and more clear.

Huo Lin said word by word: "Either, you kill me today, guard your son from now on, and continue to be your empress dowager, or, I will be the emperor, and everything will follow our agreement. No matter what, we will continue to be your empress dowager." There will be peace in the world.”

Binglun said: "Why do you insist on forcing me?"

"I didn't force you, but you have to make a choice." There seemed to be tears in Huo Lin's eyes, he suddenly reached out and untied the long sword at his waist, threw it aside with a bang, and then picked up the white jade lamp in front of him , raised his head, drank the dragon ointment wine in one gulp, and put it down heavily. "On one side is the adopted son who is harmful to you, and on the other is the younger brother who is always with you. It depends on how you choose."

The pain in Binglun's eyes became more and more intense, her long eyelashes drooped, she was silent for a long time, finally raised her head to look at Huo Lin, and said in a hoarse voice: "After the first day of the first lunar month next year, the abdication ceremony will be held."

Huo Lin knew that his sister finally stood with him completely, so he couldn't help but be ecstatic. With his heart hanging high, he fell steadily at the same time. He immediately suppressed the excitement in his heart, got up from his seat, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed respectfully. Three ringing heads: "Since my sister has kept the previous agreement, I will never disappoint my sister. From the day I ascended the throne, everything in the world belongs to my sister, and everything in the world is according to my sister's wish!"

Huo Lin left. He came slowly and went slowly, but his steps were obviously much easier.Binglun picked up the wine cup, took a sip, the wine was sweet and mellow, but she couldn't tell what it was like, she turned her eyes slightly, touched the emerald Buddha beads on her wrist, was startled for a moment, and then finished the rest of the wine silently.

Two ghostly figures came out from the bright yellow curtains on both sides of the main hall, walked to the desk silently, knelt down at the same time, and Binglun picked up the holding pot and continued to pour wine for himself as if he didn't notice it.

Jiang Ping said in a low voice: "Prince Xiang's ears are so good, I almost noticed him."

He and another hidden guard beside him were originally ordered to lurk in the dark place in the hall early on. The two of them hung sharp knives at their waists and held hidden weapons in their palms. There was a slight change, that is, the eagle pinched the thunder and struck him, killing him in one fell swoop. Unexpectedly, nothing happened in the end.

"Since there is no chance to meet just now, it means that he will be your new master in the future." Binglun closed her eyes, her tone was extremely tired: "Let's just pretend that what happened today didn't happen."

"Yes." Jiang Ping agreed, looked at her, and was slightly worried: "Master, are you... all right?"

"I'm fine." Binglun was just in a daze, and after a while, a pale smile gradually appeared on his lips: "What can I do?" After drinking the second cup of wine, he waved his hands feebly: "You guys go down." , leave me alone."

"Sister Qinzhu, this is an old orange tree from Jiaozhou. You said you want it last time. It is the most effective for curing coughs. This is the bud tea from Xingong in Shuzhou, and these silks and satins are reserved for you by our master. " Baozhen smiled, and pointed out the things that Lian Zhen had rewarded Qinzhu one by one, and said: "In addition, there are persimmon frost and stone flower ice fish from Jizhou. The master said you like to eat them, but these two are not here. When you leave the palace, let them pretend to bring it to you."

Qin Zhu quickly bowed his knees to thank him: "Master's rewards are very generous during the New Year's Eve, and he also shows such kindness to slaves and maidservants at ordinary times. The slaves and maidservants are really a blessing that has been cultivated for countless generations."

Lian Zhen stopped fiddling with the small pot of yellow camellia, and said with a smile, "I've told you many times, but I always say 'servant' one by one, and I can't change it."

Qin Zhu also smiled and said: "Although I left the palace and got married, in my heart, I will always be the servant of the Empress Dowager and Master Chen."

Lian Zhen said with concern: "I haven't seen this before, how is your family doing?"

Qin Zhu hurriedly said: "Thank you, master, for your concern, everything is fine at home."

Lian Zhen said: "I heard from Heng Bo that you entered the palace a few days ago, why didn't you come to my place?"

Qin Zhu's expression was a little unnatural, and he said in a murmured voice: "This servant is here to greet the master, but something happened temporarily, so..."

Lian Zhen felt even more strange: "What's the matter?"

Qin Zhu was not good at lying, especially when facing Lian Zhen, he couldn't hide anything from her, so he felt very embarrassed in his heart, hesitated for a moment, and then said softly: "Slave... Slave met in the palace An old friend from long ago."

"Old man? Who is it?"

"Miss Biao's former personal maid, Run Lan."

"What?" Lian Zhen's face turned pale. Whenever she heard something related to Lin Wanxi, complex and unspeakable emotions would always surge in her heart, but she couldn't help but want to know more.She turned her eyes to Baozhen, Baozhen immediately understood, and led the other court ladies and eunuchs out.Lianzhen calmed down and asked, "You said her personal servant girl is in the palace?"

Qinzhu nodded, with a sad expression: "Runlan and I grew up together and served us together... Beside the queen mother, we have always been like sisters. After the death of Miss Biao, she seemed to have disappeared from the world. , I just thought she was dead a long time ago, I didn't expect to meet her in the palace, she...she even became a nun."

Lian Zhen suddenly recalled that Binglun had summoned many monks and nuns a while ago to perform great deeds in the former dynasty and the inner court, saying that he wanted to save the souls of the dead.She suddenly felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell what was the problem, she was stunned for a while, and unconsciously said: "The ceremony is over, she is not in the palace."

Qin Zhu was slightly startled, and said: "Yes, she has returned to Huang Ci Nunnery."

A thought flashed through Lianzhen's mind like lightning, and she blurted out: "Master Huixian!"

Qinzhu was surprised: "Master, you... how do you know?"

Lian Zhen didn't answer, but said in her heart: "So it is so, Wen Ying, so it is so." It was as if a stone was thrown into the heart lake, causing layers of waves, and all kinds of questions came one after another, with a dull pain in the head, but nothing happened on the face: " How did she disappear back then? How did she become a monk?"

"I bumped into her in the palace that day, and I called her, but she didn't seem to know me, and she refused to recognize me. After a few days, when she returned to Huangci Nunnery, I chased after her, and it was hard to impress her. Talk to her."

Seeing her talking, Lian Zhen's eyes suddenly turned red, and she asked in amazement, "What's wrong?"

Qinzhu lowered her head: "It's nothing, I just feel sorry for Miss Biao and Runlan."

Lianzhen became suspicious, and was about to ask, but she heard her choked up and said: "Many people outside are secretly discussing that the Queen Mother is ruthless to her brothers, even the children..." At this point, she swallowed again, Wiping her tears with a handkerchief, she said intermittently: "Now I know why the Queen Mother is like this, she... She always treats Miss Biao as a treasure."

Binglun hardly stepped out of the threshold these days. When meeting ministers, she always sat quietly with her eyes closed in the warm pavilion or study room, without saying a word for a long time. No longer sending people to each other to give each other toys or food, just treat it as the two have an awkward situation, but they can't figure out why it happened, and they are extremely anxious, but they dare not make up their own minds and be considerate like in the past.

After dinner that day, Binglun suddenly said: "Let's go and see Master Chen."

Gao Xian was overjoyed, and quickly said: "Yes, the servants told them to prepare the sedan chair."

The room was quiet, Lianzhen was lying sideways on the soft couch in front of the window, wrapped in an apricot-yellow silk quilt, her long hair naturally fell out of the quilt, soft and lustrous like fine black satin, Binglun walked to the couch and stood beside her. Sitting sideways, stretched his hands over the brazier in front of the couch, warmed his hands, and said with a smile, "Since when are you so afraid of the cold?"

There was no sound, Binglun leaned forward and said softly, "Are you asleep?"

"Ah."

Bing Lun said: "It's almost the end of the new year again, and the memorials on the case are piled up like a mountain. It's hard to take a breath today."

"Ah."

It was still a simple word, Binglun smelled the faint fragrance of her body fascinated, as if he had temporarily found a place to seal up his thoughts, and ignored her indifference, lifted the quilt, got in, stretched out his hand and pulled her into his arms.

Her lips were almost close to her ears: "Did Princess Ying tell you everything?"

"Which thing are you referring to?"

Binglun sighed softly: "Lian'er, I don't want to lie to you. Many times, I have no other choice."

There was no sound again, Binglun groped from the quilt, held her hand, but she broke free gently, Binglun said helplessly, "Lian'er."

"Binglun, are you happy?"

Binglun was startled: "What?"

"Step by step, you planned meticulously and did so many things. Now, you can turn your hand into clouds and your hands into rain. The fate of the world is in your hands. Are you happy?"

Binglun said: "I do a lot of things, but I don't care whether I'm happy or not."

"Then what are you doing?"

Binglun didn't speak for a long time, the two were so close that they could hear each other's breathing, Lian Zhen could only feel anxiety in her heart, that anxiety spread slowly over time, from her chest to her throat, Gradually it started to hurt slightly, Binglun finally said: "I only do it for myself or not."
