The concubine doesn't fall in love, but crazy critics insist on holding her responsible

Chapter 26 The person he should protect is Lin Songyi
The moment Lin Zhiyu disappeared completely, a mouthful of dark blood flowed from the corner of Xiao Xuan's mouth, and his vision suddenly went dark.

As if he no longer felt pain, he calmly wiped away the blood stains, walked to the bed, and took out the white jade porcelain bottle hidden in the secret compartment.

Lin Zhiyu could not help but notice something just now. He had been trying his best to suppress his heartache with his inner strength, and the cup of hot tea was to suppress the rising blood.

Until this moment, when the pill was swallowed, the bitter taste spread, and the pain finally began to dissipate.

Xiao Xuan's luck calmed down and he frowned.

Only three days later, the heart attack occurred again.

This heart disease has been with him for many years inexplicably.

He was in good health when he was young and had no such fatal hidden diseases. But since that day, he had a dream, which was intermittent and extremely unreal. There was a man with a sad and hoarse voice. Although he did not mention his name, Xiao Xuan But I had a hunch that those words he said were meant for him.

The man in the dream asked him to protect someone.

After waking up from the dream, he contracted a heart disease and needed to rely on the Thousand-year-old Lotus Pill to suppress and relieve it. Even Jiang Chongan, who had always been proficient in heresy, had no way to do anything.

Since then, this dream has not stopped, and heart ailments often occur, and the heart is about to break when it hurts, as if it is reminding him through this pain, for fear that he will forget.

But he didn't know who the person he wanted to protect was, or even whether he was a man or a woman.

Xiao Xuan did not believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but regarded it as a reflection of his inner desires - he could not forget the death of his mother, Concubine Yu.

At the age of five, he escaped from the palace with the hope of Concubine Yu's life and asked for help from Suizhou City, thousands of miles away. However, Suizhou City was destroyed and the people in the city were massacred, including his and Concubine Yu's mother clan, no one survived. .

Later, the palace city was occupied, and Concubine Yu died in the war, not even her body was left. The words "I am waiting for my son for my mother" became the last conversation between mother and son.

He hated his young self for being incompetent. If he were faster and stronger, he could save his mother's clan and his mother's concubine.

Later, he met Lin Songyi, and after getting along with her, he had other thoughts about her, and his possessiveness gave birth to an inseparable desire for protection.

In this world, there were only two people worth his life to protect.

If that dream was true, the one he should protect from now on should be Lin Songyi.

But why did that person have such a tone?

Even if you haven't seen the person, you can only hear his voice, and you know how desperate and sorrowful the person is.

What is the relationship between that person and him...

While he was thinking about it, Xiao Xuan's eyes fell on the box of chestnut cakes sent by Lin Zhiyu.

Although the attack of heart disease caught him off guard, the fact that he had no reaction after eating sweet and greasy food was also extremely beyond Xiao Xuan's expectation.

The story of vomiting started when Xiao Xuan witnessed the tragic situation in Suizhou City with his own eyes.

As the 18th son of the last emperor of the previous dynasty, although Xiao Xuan was not favored by the emperor, his life before the age of five was smooth and peaceful. Concubine Yu protected him extremely well.

He would read and practice calligraphy, feed the fish and pet the birds, and when he was tired, he would lie in Concubine Yu's arms and have a good sleep. When he woke up, he would have delicious snacks. There were few princes in the harem who were as carefree as he was.

Xiao Xuan, who was only five years old, had never seen anything cruel. It was not until he set foot in Suizhou City that he learned for the first time that there was a word in the world called rivers of blood.At dusk in early summer, the black beacon smoke tore countless slits into the leaden sky.

The wind was still, and there was a thick fishy stench everywhere. The towering city wall turned into a permeating dark red, and the open city gate was like a bloody mouth that swallowed everything.

There is not a single living person in the huge Suizhou City.

No, it was not impossible. Xiao Xuan, whose legs were paralyzed, saw a general riding a tall horse.

The general wore silver-white armor and held a tassel in his hand. Blood was dripping from both of them, and blood splashed as he passed by.

Xiao Xuan staggered and followed the general, trying to find the Yu family who could save Concubine Yu. However, he soon saw a mass grave. In the pit were the long-dead people of Suizhou City. Several of them were still wearing the clothes of the Yu family's servants. clothes.

They are all dead.

Countless torches were thrown into the pit, and a heat wave instantly rose up. Thick smoke and the smell of rotting blood... went straight into the sky and poured into the nose of the young Xiao Xuan, causing a churn in his stomach.

Xiao Xuan's last meal was sugar cakes bought by his entourage on the street.

From then on, whenever he ate anything sweet, he would recall the cold eyes of the general, the burned corpses in mass graves, and Concubine Yu's despair and collapse as she waited for death in isolation.

Later, Xiao Xuan, who was wandering around, learned that the general's name was Lin Ye. He was rewarded by the new emperor for his meritorious service in massacre of the city, and was named General Pingxi. He was in charge of hundreds of thousands of troops in the Western Region and had a great reputation.

Lin Ye was originally a general of the former dynasty. The Lin family has been loyal for generations. The son of the Lin family was born in a family to protect the country and died in the battle to protect the country. However, Lin Ye judged the country, turned against him, and swung the butcher knife to countless innocent people. A loyal monarch.

Lin Zhiyu walked all the way with a sad face and full of embarrassment. She returned to her yard and closed the door. When she was alone, she turned cold and carefully thought about and analyzed what had just happened.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt that Xiao Xuan had poisoned himself. He was always full of calculations. He was sure that she would go to see him. Even if she didn't go, anyone in the Lin family would see him so weak. He wouldn't let him leave just like that.

But he made a miscalculation. Not only would she kick him out, she would also kill him!
Clouds covered a large shadow, and the cold wind kept blowing. The shadow gradually moved eastward in the direction of the Hou Mansion.

Lin Zhiyu picked up the pipa on the shelf, gently clasped it against the music score and played it slowly, with a decent posture, but the music she played... was unpleasant and harsh, like killing a pig.

Outside, Runshu and Lansheng, who had returned from Xie Yiwan's place, looked at each other, smiled awkwardly, and silently closed the doors and windows, fearing that if the song spread, Lin Zhiyu would be laughed at.

After closing the door and window, Lan Sheng had an extra box in his hand and handed it to Run Shu, "Hey, it's for you. Our lady bought it when she went out this time. It was said to be a newly opened grocery store. What is it called Song Ji? It's in the mansion. The madam, aunt, young master and young lady all have a share, this is specially reserved for you."

Runshu took the box and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Why don't you open it and take a look? Are you so happy? This is what I picked for you. The lady bought a bunch of them and had everything. I sorted and selected them for a long time, but I was exhausted."

"Speaking of which, our young lady has been receiving more and more frequent rewards recently, especially you and me. The monthly silver has more than doubled, and we are eating better than before. After all, the girl has grown up and knows how to cherish the people around her."

"Run Shu, tell me everything. How much have you saved?"

Runshu turned his back and said, "Be careful with your words. Don't talk like this and don't ask questions."

Lan Sheng was reluctant, "Look, what are you doing so seriously? We both sleep on the same bed, so why should we separate you and me? Tell me..."
