Chapter 188 I chose it
Chapter 188 I chose it
The room suddenly became quiet. Lin Zhihe's rapid breathing and the dust that Lin Zhihe kicked up from the ground became very clear.
The dust rose into the air, then slowly fell to the ground and landed on Lin Zhihe's body.
Liu Jiang had a strange expression on his face.
He stared at Lin Zhihe like a python staring at its prey, and slowly said, "Why are you asking about Liu Li?"
Lin Zhihe was a prey waiting to be strangled. The air in her chest became thinner and thinner, and her mind went blank. "Do you know him?"
This sentence is finally no longer a question, but a certainty.
"Do you know him? Is he doing well? He..." Lin Zhihe couldn't help choking up.
Fear. Just like how she woke up from nightmares countless times, and then couldn't sleep all night, too scared to control herself.
She was afraid that Lin Zhihe would make things difficult for Liu Li. After all, there was an old hatred between them, a past that Liu Li had never wanted to talk about.
That woman is so cunning and willful. If she really makes things difficult for Liu Li, there will be no one left in the Great Xia Dynasty to help him...
Thinking of this, Lin Zhihe's heart couldn't help but ache.
She had been restraining herself, trying hard to suppress her thoughts and not think about Liu Li, but her brain just wouldn't listen.
It was fine during the day, but at night, Lin Zhihe could no longer control himself.
At first, I thought about it all night long and had no sleep, and in the end I had to rely on sleeping pills.
Liu Li, that was her Liu Li...
Tears welled up in Lin Zhihe's eyes. She wiped them with the back of her hand and looked at Liu Jiang, "Tell me, how is Liu Li?"
"You've traveled through time and space here, but you still won't let Liu Li go?" Liu Jiang's cold voice made the shabby house even colder.
"I…"
"I just want to ask if Liu Li is doing well."
Tears couldn't be held back and flowed out of my eyes, dripping onto my body like raindrops, soon soaking my clothes.
She put her hands on Liu Jiang's shoulders and couldn't help crying. Her words were unclear, not even as clear as those of a child who had just learned to speak.
"Please, tell me how Liu Li is doing, please..."
Seeing Lin Zhihe crying, Liu Jiang was very surprised. He looked at Master Qin helplessly. The coldness in his eyes gradually faded away, replaced by confusion.
Why does Lin Zhihe care so much about Liu Li...
"The Infinite Heavenly Venerable" Taoist Qin finally moved from his chair and helped Lin Zhihe up.
"Please don't cry, my good believer."
"do not Cry!"
Taoist Qin raised his voice again, but Lin Zhihe was naturally indifferent.
She wanted to stop, but her tears kept falling.
It was as if he wanted to vent all the emotions he had been feeling during this period of time, the longing for Liu Li, the fear for Liu Li's future, and the helplessness of not being able to control the situation.
When she couldn't sleep, she would go to the balcony of her dormitory to get some fresh air. Sometimes there would be a few stars shining in the sky.
Liu Li is like the stars. Give her a fantastic dream, and when she wakes up, the stars are still hanging far away in the sky, and she sits on earth and looks at them.
I wish they were real stars, at least I could take a look at them.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhihe cried even more sadly, "Liu Li... my Liu Li..."
Everything in front of her eyes went blank again, and she seemed to see Liu Li.
very noisy.
Loud noises, bad smells, and...
Lin Zhihe struggled to open his eyes, but all he saw was a broken roof and a sky full of stars shining through the cracks in the roof.
Having fainted so many times recently, Lin Zhihe has become very skilled at following the plot.
She remembered that Liu Jiang took her to Qingwei Mountain. Liu Jiang wanted to find the Taoist priest Tianshi, and then...
Yes, Liu Jiang knows Liu Li!
Thinking of this, Lin Zhihe suddenly sat up and went straight out of the house to look for someone.
It was pitch black outside, without a single light.
There are faint flickering lights in the distance.
Lin Zhihe followed the guidance of the fire and walked towards the light step by step. As he got closer, he could hear strange panting sounds, which were very loud.
Weird weird weird monster?
When I got closer, I found that it was the dog from the daytime, panting heavily, and the source of light was the fire that Liu Jiang had built.
Come on, is it necessary to be so primitive? Is this Qingwei Mountain or Zhoukoudian? How did we suddenly return to the era of drilling wood to make fire?
Liu Jiang didn't know whether he noticed her coming or not. He just fiddled with the half-burned stick in his hand and stared at the fire.
Lin Zhihe deliberately made his footsteps very loud and walked on dead leaves and branches, taking the opportunity to remind Liu Jiang.
But Liu Jiang was like a wooden stake, a wooden stake with its heart hollowed out, without a soul, and just poked there.
She walked closer and closer, and found a place with many leaves next to Liu Jiang and sat down. Although the distance was not close, she could see the expression on Liu Jiang's face.
She was completely numb. Even though she was so close to the fire, her lips were pale, without a single rosy color.
The paleness of his face was indescribable. Half of his face was red under the light of the fire, while the other half that was not illuminated was deathly pale. Not only was he bloodless, he was almost lifeless.
Afraid of Liu Jiang, Lin Zhihe could only move away and coughed deliberately, "I'm warming myself by the fire here."
Liu Jiang finally seemed to see her and mechanically turned his head towards her like a robot.
Lin Zhihe swallowed her saliva. She was quite afraid of Liu Jiang. He had gone crazy a few times before. Although he looked like a zombie now, he could not rule out the possibility of going crazy again.
If they strangle her to death, there won't be anyone to stop them, and they can just push her into the fire and burn her to ashes, leaving no evidence...
She shuddered with fear but still sat next to him.
"I...I really want to know Liu Li's whereabouts. Can you tell me?"
Lin Zhihe's words were very sincere, and his attitude of prayer was very upright, "I'll pay any price."
“But you can’t enter the Soul Restoring Array anymore.” Lin Zhihe quickly added.
The robot finally woke up, its eyes no longer empty, focusing on Lin Zhihe's face, its face still pale, "What is your relationship with Liu Li?"
This question made Lin Zhihe stunned. What is her relationship with Liu Li...
"He is the chief eunuch in my palace." Lin Zhihe's thoughts drifted away with the long voice, as if he had returned to that dynasty.
"You must have heard of me, otherwise you wouldn't have let me enter the Soul Restoring Array." Lin Zhihe looked at Liu Jiang, looking forward to his reaction.
He did not react, and his whole body was in a daze. His eyes seemed to be fixed on Lin Zhihe's face, but also seemed to be drifting away into the distance. It was unclear whether he was listening to her seriously.
Regardless of whether he was listening or not, Lin Zhihe chose to continue speaking.
"I am Lin Zhihe, the third daughter of the Lin family. My eldest sister is the wife of Duke Yan, my second sister is the Princess of Cheng, and I am the current Imperial Concubine Chen."
Liu Jiang's eyes remained dull and he showed no reaction.
"Oh, by the way, I have another son, the fifth child. I don't know if this boy has become the emperor."
Liu Jiang suddenly reacted. His eyes lit up and he looked at her in disbelief, his lips trembling slightly.
"The fifth prince? You mean the fifth prince?" His voice was trembling, and his big hand grabbed Lin Zhihe's arm, but he just placed it on it lightly without any strength.
Liu Jiang's entire body began to spasm. His body kept shaking and his facial features were disordered, like a zombie about to explode.
"Are you okay?" Lin Zhihe asked a famous quote.
"Why are you so excited about the Fifth Prince? You are not..."
She covered her mouth, equally incredulous, "You can't be Lin Ping!"
This guess is completely valid. Lin Zhihe confirmed it in his heart, otherwise it would be hard to explain why Liu Jiang would be so excited about the fifth prince.
"You said the fifth prince is your son?" Liu Jiang was still obsessed with the fifth prince and ignored Lin Zhihe's speculation.
Lin Zhihe was at a loss and could only cooperate with him and nodded.
"What is your title?" Tears silently rolled down Liu Jiang's eyes.
"I just said it, it's Chen." Lin Zhihe didn't understand why someone would cry when asked about a title.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land? No way, he already knew Lin Zhihe's identity, so he wouldn't cry today.
"Why did the Ministry of Internal Affairs give you this title?"
Before Lin Zhihe could answer, Liu Jiang's eyes were fixed on her, and she was so frightened that she dared not move and huddled in front of the fire.
"Why!" Liu Jiang asked very quickly, eager to hear the answer.
This kind of old stuff...
Lin Zhihe tried hard to recall, as if it was something from her past life, and captured the memories of being crowned as a concubine in her churning mind.
"It seems that the Ministry of Internal Affairs selected a few characters at that time, and Liu Li chose 'Chen' from them. I'm not sure why it was called this."
The firelight reflected in Liu Jiang's eyes, which flickered, and he seemed to have regained his vitality.
"Do you still remember the wreath Liu Li made for Xiao Taohong?"
Lin Zhihe looked at Liu Jiang suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"Then do you remember what kind of flowers Liu Li used to weave?"
Lin Zhihe was completely confused. She didn't know why the conversation took such a strange turn, and she didn't understand why Liu Jiang was obsessed with the wreath.
"It's just a very common wild flower, found in fields."
Liu Jiang kept asking, his eyes full of sincerity and seriousness, "What's your name?"
"They are wild flowers, purple and white. They should be everywhere in the fields."
Liu Jiang suddenly hugged Lin Zhihe, held her tightly in his arms, and kept stroking her hair with his hands.
Lin Zhihe was about to break free, but Liu Jiang's tears dripped on her neck, like hot steam steaming her neck.
"you…"
She wanted to tell Liu Jiang to "stop", but emotions are contagious, and Liu Jiang's grief and sadness were also transmitted to her. She suddenly wanted to let Liu Li hold her like this, in this overly intimate way.
She didn't know what she was thinking.
"The word 'Chen' was not chosen for you by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I sent it to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I chose it for you."
"The flower I made is called the Immortality Flower. It is a custom in the Xia Dynasty that women would pick a bunch of Immortality Flowers and place them on the bedside during their coming-of-age ceremony, symbolizing longevity. You don't know this because you haven't experienced other girls' coming-of-age ceremonies."
Liu Jiang held Lin Zhihe in his arms as he told the story, his tears choking him.
This time it was Lin Zhihe's turn to be numb. An absurd guess emerged in her mind, but she didn't dare to speak it out loud.
"You chose...what do you mean by chosen?"
