Crown Jewels

Chapter 268 Episode [-] He Doesn't Need Guilt and Pity

With a slightly trembling voice mixed with overly fragile emotions, Fu Sinian paused slightly and frowned.

Silent, speechless.

The man's back was at a standstill, Shen Lanqing took two steps forward, her dark eyebrows flashed with guilt, and just as Fu Sinian was about to walk away again, the cuff of the bullfighting suit was tightly grabbed, and her steps stopped.

Finally, under Shen Lanqing's insistence, Fu Sinian uttered a few words and completely denied it.

"What are you talking about, I don't know."

His brows and eyes were covered in shadows, his tone was calm and calm, as if he was listening to someone else's story.

With a cold attitude, he completely denied it.

Seeing this, Shen Lanqing had a bitter look in her eyes, and called his name again.

"Fu Sinian, when I fell into a coma, I felt that someone was always with me in my confusion, not only on that rainy night, but also on the Zhuangzi in the southern suburbs of Chang'an County, the person who gave me sunflowers on the eaves of the bamboo forest every day was you, right?"

"Feel sorry--"

"You don't have to be sorry—"

Shen Lanqing snatched her words, walked sideways in front of Fu Sinian, nodded slightly to him as they met each other, then pulled his sleeve with his right hand, and untied the purse tied around his waist.

Under the moonlight, in the palm of the woman was the bamboo dragonfly that had fallen into the bamboo forest and was accidentally broken into two pieces by him. As if she was still afraid of Fu Sinian's denial, Shen Lanqing took a breath and smiled lightly from the corner of her lips, holding the bamboo dragonfly flip to the back,

"Fu Sinian, your name is engraved on this bamboo dragonfly."

Stern eyebrows swept across the back of the bamboo dragonfly. The name engraved on it was engraved by Shen Lanqing himself when she said goodbye to her, his name.

Shen Lanqing carved it with his own hands, how could he not recognize it.

The past that was on the bamboo dragonfly, the past that belonged to Fu Sinian, seemed to be like the previous life. The dark eyes paused in Shen Lanqing's hands for a long time, and after a while, his eyes fell on the bullfighting suit worn by the eunuch, rolling like an undercurrent The mood is completely calm.

"Throw it away—"

After uttering the three words indifferently, Fu Sinian raised his eyes and finally stopped avoiding her gaze. The moment they looked at each other, the indifference and sternness in the black pupils spread openly in front of her.

It also reminds the people in front of them that everything in the past is the past; if you want to delve into it, it doesn't make any sense.

Dark eyebrows raised her eyebrows, and she looked deeply into those eyes, just like Fu Sinian's eunuch's uniform that had long been changed, Shen Lanqing seemed to be able to feel the abyss he had fallen into during the painful time.

Can't see the bottom, can't turn over.

Suppress all the emotions or desires, hide in the corner of the abyss, maybe, occasionally look up at the light outside, but it will never be possible to really escape.

Because the light is hot, but scorching.

Those who hide in darkness are unworthy.

Such a person, no matter how strong, vicious and tyrannical he looks on the surface, but in fact, in his heart, he is extremely fragile.

The corners of Shen Lanqing's lips trembled for a moment, and there was water in her brows and eyes.

She couldn't imagine that a person who was so proud and dazzling... fell to the bottom of the cliff, how uncomfortable he would feel in his heart, and how he would endure the torment in his heart. In the end, when I heard others disdain to scold them for being harsh, cruel, and tyrannical, I sneered and sneered.

The choking sound could no longer be stopped, Shen Lanqing covered her brows and eyes, and let the small crying voices scatter in the quiet night, in the small sobs, one could hear the strong guilt and heartache.

Fu Sinian's eyelids drooped stiffly, and his eyes fell on Shen Lanqing, who was squatting on the haystack with her head buried in her arms. The gloomy and indifferent expression in her brows froze for a moment, flashing through the clear burning pain, every moment when her right hand was about to be raised, The villain in his heart is constantly reminding him that you are not worthy!

His fingers were slightly curled up in the wide sleeves of the broad robe of the bullfighting uniform. Finally, Fu Sinian took a deep look at Shen Lanqing for the last time. His stern eyebrows and eyes flashed decisively. The cold sobbing sound, abandoned in the night alone.

It never occurred to me that I would take her away with me.

But things didn't go as planned. Normally, Shen Lanqing didn't think that she, who was still studying the sage books in the ancient academy and determined to become an official, would grab the man's arm at that moment; but such a situation happened. In the moment, now.

What came together with the woman's body temperature was her shallow voice, which contained a little depressed guilt for not looking at him.

"Fu Sinian—"

Shen Lanqing's voice floated into her ears, under the clear wind and bright moon, it seemed that it was about to drift away in an instant.

"You were the one who rescued me on a rainy night, and you were the one who accompanied me in the bamboo grove; it was you, the one who sought Jiang Shan's revenge in Pingkangfang three years ago, it was you, it was you, right?"

"so--"

Shen Lanqing stopped her sobs, her eyes were filled with guilt that couldn't be resolved.

"Therefore, all the disasters happened in the Fu family, and all the reasons behind it are just Jiang Hong's revenge."

As if pulling out all the strength in his body, his voice was not stable, and he tremblingly pieced together the final truth.

"Feel sorry--"

"I'm the one who hurt you—"

It turned out that the one who forcibly dragged that proud and dazzling young man into the abyss was Shen Lanqing!
"You enter the palace—"

"no!"

Fu Sinian's eyebrows twitched, he quickly pulled Shen Lanqing's hand away, turned to meet her eyes, firmly denied it, his tone was cold and unkind, and his gaze towards her was extremely indifferent.

"Shen Lanqing, don't take yourself too seriously—"

After saying that, Fu Sinian glanced over, and while Shen Lanqing was in a daze, he flicked his right hand away and retracted his arm.

But he wanted to leave, but she wouldn't let him.

Fu Sinian's eyebrows twitched, and his eyes fell on the two people's hands that seemed to be intertwined. When he was about to withdraw decisively and indifferently, a woman's clear and beautiful voice came from behind the rockery outside the haystack.

"Master Admiral, Qing Dai has arrived—"

These words seemed to be a reminder, Shen Lanqing watched with wide eyes, the moment he saw the woman in palace costume coming, his brows softened for a rare moment, and then he decisively pulled his hand away from Shan Ruliu,

It happened that Qing Dai came to fetch the medicine, she was surprised when she saw Shen Lanqing, Fu Sinian then Shen Lanqing looked at the backs of Amen and the two of them, watched the candlelight of the lamp, accompanied by the elongated silhouette of the two on the ground.

Shen Lanqing felt her heart hurt, but wanted to say, Fu Sinian, I'm sorry.

Qing Dai followed Fu Sinian, the two walked side by side in the deserted night, the time at this moment was precious and extravagant, finally, they stopped in the gazebo where they used to meet, under the moonlight, Qing Dai's eyes were dim.

"Tell me—"

Fu Sinian lowered his eyes, his superior bones were immersed in the shadows, but he was still handsome.

"Young master, Eunuch Wang said that he is not used to living in the quiet ancient house near the south. This time, Qingdai will send a message to the admiral to give him a three-entry and three-out house near the imperial city in the past two days. He will retire there. .”

Under the moonlight, Qing Dai's tone was a little weak, even so, when she made such an unreasonable request from Wang Zhi, she still felt a little hot, every inch of land next to the imperial city was expensive, and Admiral Fu's monthly salary was already taken by Wang Zhi. Withdrawing directly, this time they actually want a house near the imperial city.

In a hurry, Qing Dai accidentally bumped into the wound on her arm, and her soft hissed voice was a soft moan of pain, with the wide sleeves of the palace dress wrapped up, under the moonlight, on her white arm, there were interlaced blue welts, the old wound had not healed A new wound has arrived.

Fu Sinian's gaze was deep for a moment, and after a while, he took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve and handed it to Qing Dai, letting the shadows from the eaves of the pavilion hit his face with lowered eyes, his complexion remained indifferent.

"You tell him I'll make arrangements—"

Qingdai's lips were pale, her worried eyes swept over Fu Sinian's brows, she lowered her eyelids for a while, and tightly clenched the medicine bottle in her palm. In this porcelain bottle was the ointment he used to prepare for her to treat welts.

Looking across, Qingdai's mind flashed just now, the woman in the black official robe who was holding Fu Sinian's arm in the haystack, the corners of her lips twitched for a moment, and after a long moment of hesitation, she finally asked tentatively.

"Just now, that Mr. Shen—"

It should be the reason why Fu Sinian was able to treat her Qingdai differently in Pingkangfang.

"You go first!"

Fu Sinian's voice was extremely weak, and she cut off the second half of Qing Dai's sentence, knowingly she slowly lowered her eyebrows to cover the gloomy eyes, nodded slightly, turned and left.

The gazebo was filled with the breeze of the spring night. Fu Sinian stood still for a while, and finally stepped forward with his boots, and turned back in the direction he came. After arriving at the rockery, Xiao Yunzi was waiting there.

Looking at the little eunuch who was tied up and dressed in a navy blue robe, Fu Sinian raised his eyebrows slightly, the sternness in his eyes deepened, and undisguised disgust spread.

Seeing Fu Sinian, Xiao Yunziying hurried forward.

"Admiral Fu, that man woke up just now, his jaw dislocated and he didn't die. I tested his identity and threatened him with his two amber eyeballs, and he pretended to be dead and fell into a coma again."

Fu Sinian nodded, his boots stepped on the haystack, and his toes twirled on the cut-off heel of the little eunuch. The severe pain awakened the sleeping man, and the long-necked porcelain bottle slammed into his face. With his consciousness closed, a gloomy voice sounded, making his scalp numb.

"The Gu poison, Jiang Hong is really very rich. Three months ago, he used this method on my father at the border, but now it is the same as before, using this Gu on the officials of the Ministry of Rites in my country of Yan."

"If you are destined to go back alive in Nanjiang, you might as well tell Mr. Jiang Hong."

"Now that the border crisis of Xia State has been eliminated, the Turkic tribes have nothing to worry about. Even if he is in danger, he will not use the same method three months later. He really thinks that such an unpopular thing as Gu poison is far away in the southern border. Can no one recognize it?"

"Go back and tell him that if the admiral's people dare to touch her even half a hair, Fu Sinian will be able to overthrow his Ministry of Punishments..."

The threatening voice was sinister, with a chilling power.

In the palace where the palace officials lived, the incense lit in the room covered Shen Lanqing's eyebrows and eyes, and on the opposite side was Song Leyi with earnest eyebrows and slim eyes in pink palace attire.

As the candles flickered, the bright yellow lights flickered on and off.

"Sister Lanqing——"

"I don't know everything about the past, but there is one thing I'm sure about Cousin Fu."

The black hair was tied into a bun to outline the beautiful tip of the forehead, Song Leyi looked at Shen Lanqing's eyebrows with firm relief, "In the past few years, Cousin Fu has changed a lot, Ke Leyi understands that he has never changed, no matter you What happened between them, the matter of choosing to enter the palace—"

Song Leyi's tone paused for a moment, and the incense finally continued, "The matter of entering the palace has nothing to do with anyone, nor is it anyone's fault. Cousin Fu has made up his mind since he was a child. He said that any decision he made was not for anyone. That's just his decision."

"So, even though it's a pity, I believe Cousin Fu has this ability. Those who pushed him into a dark corner will naturally have to bear their consequences."

"And most importantly—"

Holding Shen Lanqing's wrist on her knee, Song Leyi's eyebrows and eyes were solemn, and her voice was soaked in smoke with hints.

"Cousin Fu has his pride, he doesn't need any guilt or pity—"

"What he needs is sincere, equal respect and love from those he cares about..."
