Chapter 326

So, this was the truth

-Everything was not far from what she had imagined!

Ling Jingshu let out a long sigh of relief, stretching her brows, “So that’s how it is

I originally thought it was strange that Empress Xu, no matter how much she liked men, had never summoned her chamberlains in a row like that”

After thinking about it, he couldn’t help but ask in a low voice, “That night when the Emperor suddenly went to the Pepper Room Hall, was it also secretly arranged by you?”

Wei Yan raised an eyebrow and straightly admitted, “Yes

Eunuch Huang of the Ceremony Room was once seriously ill, and it was me who saved his life

Although he was greedy for money and timid, he knew how to return the favor, and has been secretly interacting with me ever since

I have carefully prepared for a long time, and such an important link has of course been designed long ago”

Ling Jingshu quietly looked at him, her gaze somewhat complicated

Being gazed at by those clear eyes, Wei Yan only felt his heartbeat accelerating and his heart heating up

He didn’t dare to allow himself to think wildly anymore, lest he do something rash or say something presumptuous: “What are you looking at me like that for?”I admire you”

Ling Jingshu sighed softly, her gaze full of admiration, “I didn’t expect that you would dare to secretly set up a trap against Empress Xu

What’s more, I didn’t expect that you set up the situation so skillfully that no one would suspect you at all”

He is only a doctor of medicine, and has no power in the palace

-Less to mention dealing with the queen of a dynasty

But not only did he do it, he also succeeded, which really had to be admired!

Wei Yan smiled faintly, “In fact, as long as something has been done, there are traces to follow

If the emperor really thoroughly investigates, it is not possible to say that he will check to Eunuch Huang, and then suspect to my body

After all, a few **** days ago, he just gave Empress Xu a prescription to regulate her body”However, with the Emperor’s nature, having suffered such a strange shame, he would never trace the root of the matter

He was furious, killed a bunch of people, then abolished Empress Xu, and then never mentioned anything about it”I dared to do this because I also calculated that the Emperor would react in this way”No matter what, you always succeeded”

Ling Jingshu sighed heartily, “From now on, Empress Xu will no longer be able to force herself on you, and you can breathe a sigh of relief”

Wei Yan tugged at the corner of his lips, not without a hint of self-deprecation, “Yes, I can finally preserve my chastity”

Ling Jingshu was dumbfounded, “That’s just it!

It’s not right to say something like that

Count it as my slip of the tongue, don’t take it to heart”This is the truth, what do I have to take to heart”

Wei Yan was unusually frank: “This appearance was given to me by my parents

Whether I want to or not, I have grown such a face

Over the years, I’ve been all alone, half because Empress Xu pressed me every step of the way, I didn’t want to anger her head on, and I didn’t want to implicate my big sister and Anya, so I quietly held back””More importantly,” Wei Yan said

-“”The more important reason is that I have never met a woman I truly like

Since I don’t have a favorite girl, it doesn’t matter if I don’t get married and take a wife”

When Wei Yan said this, he suddenly paused subtly for a moment before speaking in a low voice again, “It was only when I had a favorite girl that I wanted to spend my life with that I truly developed the desire to deal with Empress Xu

No matter what, I have to get rid of this knife hanging over my head before I’m qualified to tell her that I like her”

This was the most subtle, euphemistic, and plain confession Ling Jingshu had ever heard

There were no flashy words, no fierce oaths of alliance, and no domineering attitude of it’s not you

It was like a trickle of water sliding into the heart, making people feel at ease and comfortable

Just like the feeling he gave her

Firm and tolerant, gentle and affectionate

Ling Jingshu’s heartstrings fluttered viciously

When they first met, he was cold and calm, not moved by her overwhelming beauty, and had even counted her out in a less than polite manner

Later, she accompanied Ah Xiao to administer needles, and he gradually became familiar with her

I don’t know when, but his gaze fell more and more on her

He took care of her without any trace of concern, and silently did many things for her

She deluded herself by not wanting to think deeply about the heart behind this tenderness

Until she entered the heavenly prison, in her most bewildered and helpless time, he obviously can be clear, but took great pains to entrust someone to take care of her

On the day of her maturity, that bowl of birthday noodles and that ebony hairpin clearly showed his feelings

She could no longer deceive herself, much less reject this watery love

How lucky she was to have met such a man who treated her wholeheartedly

Ling Jingshu moved her lips, seemingly wanting to say something, but unable to say anything

Wei Yan appeared to be calm, but in reality, he was incredibly nervous

In this short moment, his heart was beating so fast that it was almost popping out of his chest

He finally gathered the courage to say what was in his heart

What would her reaction be?

Was it a difficult and apologetic rejection?

Or a shy and joyful acceptance?

I don’t know how long it took before Ling Jingshu’s soft and subtle voice quietly sounded, “Wei Yan”

Wei Yan held his breath, like a prisoner about to be sentenced, nervously awaiting his fateWei Yan,” Ling Jingshu’s voice also had some strange tightness in it, “In fact, you don’t really know me

I have many secrets to hide from you”

It was good that it wasn’t a flat out rejection

Wei Yan’s heart that was raised in his throat quickly fell back into place, and he also found his composure and calmness, “I know”

Her illness could never be as simple as what she said in her mouth

Her insistence on traveling to the capital and then entering the palace in a smooth manner was clearly also something else

Also, she thought she was hiding it extremely well, only revealing her hatred when no one was looking

That hatred, even vaguely is aimed at Empress Xu and Princess Changping’s

She was just an ordinary boudoir girl, how could she have such a complicated mind?

However, these are not important

The important thing is that he likes her

What about her, did she have a little liking for him as well?

Ling Jingshu bit her lip and spoke quickly, “You should also know about my current situation

Since the Emperor has moved his heart, he will never let me off easily

If your mind is detected by the Emperor, I’m only afraid that it will bring you the trouble of killing yourself ”Even so, do you still dare to like me?”

This sentence was not asked, but it was revealed in Ling Jingshu’s gazeAh Shu, I am clear about all of this

You don’t need to emphasize it again, I won’t be scared off”

Wei Yan looked at her steadily, a dazzling gleam in his eyes, “I’ll face the predicament with you, and I’ll do everything I can to keep you safe”I just want to ask you, are you willing to accept my heart?”Are you willing to walk out of this suffocating palace and out of the capital with me one day in the future?

We can go to a place with beautiful mountains and water, you plant flowers and raise herbs, and I’ll open a small medical center

Live some peaceful and restful days”
