Yan Cigui

 The four eyes face each other.

The oil lamp was covered with a cover, and the light was not dazzling in the middle of the night, even too mild.

　　It’s just that neither of the two people whose eyes intertwined had anything that could be called “gentle” in their eyes.

 Xu Jian's figure was tense.

I have to say that Lin Yunyan is very good at taking things by surprise.

 A cup of hot water deceived his attention, and he shot quickly and accurately.

Xu Jian stabilized his arms and did not spill the water, but the force pressing on his legs completely revealed his condition, and what he could see in Lin Yunyan's eyes was that he was undoubtedly "angry".

 With the temper of the little princess, how could she not be angry?

 Xu Jian put the tea cup on the table, lowered his eyes, and looked at the hand still pressing on his leg.

That hand has released its strength, but has not taken it back. The palm is not big, the fingers are slender, and in the dim yellow oil lamp, the skin is as smooth as jade.

 Xu Jian pursed her lower lip.

 At this moment, he was not without words.

Just as Lin Yunyan understood him, he also understood the other party. Xu Jian knew very well how to put this matter back easily, that is...

 Slowly raising her eyelids, Xu Jian's eyes fell on Lin Yunyan's face again.

　　It can make the little princess completely anxious.

Xu Jian hesitated for a while between honestly letting Lin Yunyan talk about "injury" or avoiding the serious matter and provoking people lightly.

“Is this ‘it doesn’t matter’?” Lin Yunyan spoke first.

 Xu Jian:…

Lin Yunyan laughed and said, "I saw that Dr. Zhang pressed down on you for so long and you didn't even frown. Are my hands so strong?"

Xu Jian didn't say anything. She just reached out and clasped Lin Yunyan's arm, moved it down, and held her hand firmly.

"Okay, admit your mistake," Xu Jian sighed, "Sit down first."

Lin Yunyan looked at him.

"Isn't it appropriate for those who are right to stand and those who are wrong to sit down?" Xu Jian said.

Lin Yunyan looked at Xu Jian deeply. Although she sat back on the chair, she was always on guard in her heart.

 Don't listen to Xu Jian's words about "admitting his mistake". Lin Yunyan felt that he had a lot of unsaid things that he didn't say, and he was using them as a trump card. She didn't know when he would throw them out, catching her off guard.

Xu Jian saw all her actions, but just pretended not to see through it, and continued along with what she said before: "You know how badly I was injured. No matter how good Dr. Zhang is, treating the injury is still a process.

 It has been very good to be able to recover like this during this period, and it cannot be achieved overnight.

 Now I can exert some energy and exert strength for a short period of time. It is not difficult to climb over a wall. In the past, I might not be able to climb out when I climbed over. Now I take it slow and it is not a big problem.

My sudden arrival is beyond your expectations and can also confuse those who follow you.

 If you're worried, get a hand stove and let me cover it for a while. "

Lin Yunyan looked calm.

This statement is called an explanation, not an "admission of error."

However, she still got up, walked to the bed, and took out a Tang Pozi from under the quilt.

It was late at night, and if I asked Wan Yue to prepare a hand stove, it would easily disturb other people, so Tang Pozi had it ready.

Lin Yunyan tested the temperature and found it was just right, so she handed it to Xu Jian.

Xu Jian took it and put it on his lap. The heat was transmitted through the layers of clothing. It had to be said that it felt much more comfortable.

Lin Yunyan sat down again.

　This time, most of the breath I was holding was gone.

 It’s not that she’s easy to talk to, but it’s just that the matter has reached this point and there’s no point in being angry.

 “Just make things difficult for Doctor Zhang.” Lin Yunyan complained.

 She has not been to the Fu Guogong Mansion since collecting the tiger bones, and she relies on estimates of Xu Jian's recovery from her injuries.

 When she heard that Xu Jian had returned to court, Lin Yunyan also murmured in her heart.

She can understand Xu Jian's considerations in court affairs, understand the deliberateness and subtlety of this timing, and at the same time know that it will not do any good to Xu Jian's injury.

 But since Xu Jian did this, he had some sense of propriety.

Lin Yunyan believed in Xu Jian's "property", but this "proportion" was the key to overcoming the wall tonight.

 The reason was very good and the arrangements were appropriate, but he still didn't pay enough attention to his own injury.

With such neglect of the injury, how much results could Dr. Zhang achieve no matter how talented he was?

 In the end, I had to endure all the painstaking treatment, but the injury did not get better...

Thinking of this, Lin Yunyan frowned.

have to!

 She remembered.

 “This is my fault.” Lin Yunyan said.

 Xu Jian's eyelids twitched.

He could hear the hint of settling scores in Lin Yunyan's calm tone.

As expected, Lin Yunyan said: "I just remembered that the Duke of Guo's treatment of injuries has always been about 'you can't suffer in vain, you have to get something back from Li Shao'."

 At the beginning, the Duke of Guo expressed the meaning that "healing injuries is a means, making profits is a need, and whether it is good or not is incidental".

At that time, I had hearing loss in my left ear and out my right ear. I didn’t remember this and misunderstood the Duke’s thoughts.

 It’s just wishful thinking on my part. "

 Xu Jian cleared his throat.

 A small princess is still a small princess.

　　The moment she pressed her leg, she lifted it. She turned over the old accounts, and they had to be old accounts. Once she turned over the old accounts, she went to the "front".

She may not be very angry, but she must be yin and yang enough.

It's really hard for Xu Jian to discuss this matter with Lin Yunyan in detail. Once they do, they'll get to the point of "why it happened by the way."

Xu Jian was thinking about it, trying to find a good entry point. Before he could say anything, he saw that the strange man had already turned his head.

Lin Yunyan was probably in a panic, and the ends of her eyes were a little red.

 Outside, the night wind became stronger, making the window panels buzz.

In the dim light, Xu Jian saw the clothes hanger on the wall, and the red wedding dress hanging on it was.

 His eyes were fixed on the wedding dress.

The wedding dress is hanging down, and the sleeves are also unfolded. You can see the gold and silver embroidery flying on it at a glance. On the bright red background, there is a phoenix wearing peonies, with the golden phoenix raising its head and the peonies blooming.

 It was exactly as he remembered it.

 Many old scenes were swirling in his mind. Xu Jian's heart was filled with ups and downs, and finally he sighed: "A Yan."

Hearing the sound, Lin Yunyan turned around and saw Xu Jian looking at the wedding dress.

"I seem to be a bit brave today, but I really know how my leg is injured," Xu Jian's eyes were still on the peony, "I won't come in a sedan, reluctantly ride a horse to welcome the bride, and then use crutches to lead you into the house. .

 If it would affect the official day, it would definitely not be done today.

 I know you were sorry last time. "

Lin Yunyan bit her back molars, took a deep breath, and endured the sourness in her eyes.

 But actually, what does she regret? Compared with the beauty and respectability when welcoming the bride, what she cared about most was Xu Jian's injury. If Xu Jian was healthy, the ceremonial issues would not matter at all.

 Are you concerned about wedding rituals?

 Finding it all, she is not just a big girl getting on the sedan chair, she is marrying Xu Jian for the second time.

　　It was Xu Jian who regarded flaws as shortcomings and felt guilty and thought about them.

 Xu Jian thought that it was thanks to her that she was worried about him from the previous life to this life.

Lin Yunyan calmed down and asked, "What did Doctor Zhang say about your injury? I want to hear the truth. Of course, you can continue to hide it, and you can hide it for only ten days. After that, I will ask Doctor Zhang myself every day." "

Xu Jian smiled or didn't smile: "Doctor Zhang definitely recommended more rest, but he also told you before that even if he is treated, he will not be able to return to the same state as before. Whether I go to court or climb over the wall recently, it will be delayed. Healing, but limited.”

“Are you really trying to harm the prince with your own legs?” Lin Yunyan muttered. When she raised her head again, she looked at Xu Jian for a moment, “That day when I came back from the Duke’s Mansion, I thought about many issues over and over again.

I have thought it through a bit, but there are still many doubts. Do you want to answer it now, or wait a little longer, and I will wear my wedding dress and follow you one by one? "

 Xu Jian's throat rolled: "What do you want to ask?"

Lin Yunyan said: "You told me before that some things are destined to happen."

This time, Xu Jian really laughed, and she smiled helplessly.

The little princess is not only sharp, but also knows how to make targeted decisions. Those who have been fooled in the past will come back again after she has cleaned up.

 “Ask.” Xu Jian adjusted her sitting posture, her smile gradually faded away, there was no extra emotion on her face, she just looked at her quietly.

Lin Yunyan's breath froze.

 Such Xu Jian is not that familiar to her, but it is not completely unfamiliar either.

The usual eccentricity, gentleness and humility, and even the occasional flamboyant gestures have all been restrained. This different scene reminded Lin Yunyan of Xu Jian in the past, when she just got married in her previous life.

 Cold, distant, indifferent, newlyweds understand each other a little, but are not close at all.

Xu Jian has not yet learned her neither yin nor yang, and they have not experienced hardships or the trust and familiarity they have developed over the past few years.

 For a while, Lin Yunyan didn't feel comfortable with it, but she also understood in her heart that some things were more straightforward to communicate like this.

This time, Xu Jian should not think twice about him.

Lin Yunyan kept her voice steady and said word by word: "You said that not everything can be changed. Even if you change the way, there are still things that are bound to happen and are destined.

Just like those two boxes of gold bricks, someone is destined to be buried on a rainy night. It was Chen Gui in the past and Li Yuanfa now.

Mrs. Xu will definitely witness Liu Jing’s ‘betrayal’ and his falling out with you. It was Liu Jing who had the upper hand before, but now it’s you.

So, what else led Mr. Guo to come to this conclusion?

 Is it your leg injury? "

After the words fell, the room was quiet, only the wind outside was still beating on the windows.

 Xu Jian was silent for a while.

Lin Yunyan smiled, stretched out her hand, dipped her fingertips into the cold water in the tea cup, and drew a circle on the left and right sides of the table.

“When you said that Yumenguan was injured, I vaguely felt that something was wrong. You dared to tie the prince back to the pass. How could you not watch him and let him leave the pass again?”

“I was so excited by you that I overshadowed it. It wasn’t until Mrs. Xu’s words that day that I suddenly remembered them again.”

"Mrs. Xu had a dream. You were carrying her on your back, and your legs were fine until Liu Xun slashed your legs with a knife."

“So, the leg injury is doomed, no matter whose knife it is or how it is done, right?”

 Xu Jian's lips curved slightly, then pressed back: "Ayan is smart."

 Four simple words, the answer is yes.

Lin Yunyan sniffed the tip of her nose: "How many ways are there?"

Xu Jian's voice was deep: "Control Li Shao to prevent him from getting into danger and send him back to the capital safely. I will be injured in the battle with Xiliang; I can also not be a vanguard and kill Xiliang, but there is still Liu Xun: Generally speaking, it is more beneficial to let Li Shao commit the crime. "

Lin Yunyan's eyes turned red again at the word "beneficial".

 It is indeed beneficial.

 Made the Holy Spirit feel guilty, made Li Shao anxious, and even calculated to control the leg injury to the extent he wanted.

 Able to go to court and walk, without much delay.

 No wonder Xu Jian said before that he was "quite satisfied with the injury."

Lin Yunyan asked again: "The imbalance in the relationship with Li Shao is doomed, regardless of whether you are injured because of him? It is also destined that Li Shao commits an offense, so you sit back and watch, or even let him commit an offense?"

 A series of questions, but Lin Yunyan already had the answer in her heart.

 Who is Xu Jian?

The old man was well-educated, had a good foundation, and had the most accurate loyalty. When he knew that Li Shao would go astray, his first choice would be to bring Li Shao back instead of directly planning The deposed prince.

 Only when he tried to break it off but it was of no use and that road didn't work, Xu Jian would think of another way.

 Xu Jian smiled bitterly in reply.

“Does it take a long time to walk every time?” Lin Yunyan asked hoarsely.

Xu Jian shook his head: "No, it's actually very chaotic. It's not as clear as it is every day. Sometimes time is very slow, and sometimes it flashes by. I can catch some of it, but I can't catch it completely.

　　Some of what Mrs. Xu said is correct. The road ahead is full of forks. Many times, if you can’t find the right path, you can only try, one by one, to get a result..."

Xu Jian’s words were very simple, but what Lin Yunyan heard was all difficult.

It was at this moment that she could understand what Xu Jian said that day.

“Once you’ve experienced it, you’ll know what’s right and what’s wrong. The more you know, the better your luck will be.”

　　What Xu Jian told her was based on the chaotic and unclear roads that he had failed to navigate...

 Lin Yunyan's doubts were mostly solved, and her thoughts were clearer than the previous moment.

She leaned forward: "The Duke said that Mrs. Xu will go crazy sooner or later. You have seen her in various crazy situations, but, she is not crazy now, right?"

 Xu Jian said: "Yes."

"So," Lin Yunyan paused and looked at Xu Jian for a moment, her eyes were deep and Zhanzhan, all she reflected was his figure, "Can I think that this time, there will be some unchangeable 'destiny' can change?"

 Xu Jian was speechless.

 The sound of the wind outside seemed to have stopped, and was replaced by the sound of heartbeats in my ears, one after another.

 His, Lin Yunyan’s.

Looking at her so close, Xu Jian's eyebrows relaxed and he smiled again.

The smile flashed across his face, and he still said the same four words: "The princess is smart."

Lin Yunyan's tears fell quickly.

 What is she smart about?

　　　It's not like Xu Jian made him dark under the lamp.

If she hadn't acted decisively today, I'm afraid she wouldn't have been able to force her to say these words.

In tears, her vision was hazy, and Xu Jian's outline was a little blurred. Lin Yunyan subconsciously stretched out her hands and landed on Xu Jian's knees.

 She avoided the injured position of Xu Jian and did not dare to use much strength.

 “Then can you try to get better from your leg injury?”
