Chi Linjing subconsciously avoided her playful gaze, but her ears instantly turned red, spreading to her cheeks little by little. He remained silent and did not answer, and Yin Luo did not retreat. The fragrance of snow lotus on the girl's body seemed to mess with the string of reason in his mind. He took a deep breath, trying to suppress the subtle fluctuations in his heart, but instead he became even more dizzy.

The girl in front of him had curved eyebrows and slightly hooked red lips. Even though she had a sarcastic expression, it looked like a different kind of charm in his eyes.

Chi Linjing's Adam's apple rolled, and he held back a sentence for a long time: "The items in the treasury are all reserved for Nanxia. The gold and silver are very important. They come from the people's taxes, so of course they have to be returned to the people to build cities and purchase soldiers and armor." , increasing canals and opening roads, all of which require spending money. If the rulers empty the treasury to fill their own selfish desires, they will definitely make people and gods angry, and such things cannot be done."

Yin Luo was about to answer, but heard him say again: "But I actually have three houses, two streets and villas, and [-] acres of fertile land in Southern Xia. These are all saved by me over the years, but I can't Sell ​​it for money.”

"Why?" Yin Luo frowned.

Chi Linjing lowered his eyes and then raised his eyes, "When Buyu turns sixteen, I will abdicate and no longer participate in political affairs. By then, the burden on my shoulders will be lighter, and what I owe my brother will be paid. I want to take my princess with me." , living peacefully in the village, with little firewood, rice, oil and salt, but enough for a lifetime. The three houses, one in Haicheng, one in Chuncheng, and one in Guancheng, have the same name as "Yeyuan". They all left the mausoleum. The city is far away, but its value lies in its tranquility. It is surrounded by markets and people living and working in peace and contentment, and it is also close to the rivers and lakes, where you can have a drink to refresh yourself."

Young Master Qingpao was telling Yin Luo about the future life he wanted to live in a scornful tone, which inevitably made her feel like she would spend her whole life with him. Her eyes, which were always full of cold sarcasm, slowly Warmth slowly rises, as if she is recalling the beauty of Yin Xiang's home on Magnolia Road thirteen years ago. It is a feeling of home that she will never forget.

"Those two street villages, one on the Bamboo Road to Lingcheng, and the other on Feijian Street in Spring City, if you get too bored in the future, you can still go and have a look, and the money you earn can be used to make a living, so there is no problem. You can't leave the palace without eating your last meal, right?"

His eyes gradually became empty, and the smile on his lips was genuine.

"As for the three hundred acres of fertile fields with flowers, there is a mountain behind it called Cangshan Mountain. When my mother was still alive, she left many jewelry, gold hairpins, and various kinds of jewelry in the jade chamber of the cave. I and The emperor's brother gave us a share and said that we should leave it to our future wives." Here, he actually used the noun word "wife".

"Why do you always want something simple?" Yin Luo felt that he was really satisfied.

Chi Linjing smiled at her, lowered his eyes, and his words were tainted with old memories: "What I wanted before was not so simple. When I was young, I hated that I was born in a royal family and suffered endless shackles. I want to practice swordsmanship. I practiced secretly, even if I wanted to be lazy, I couldn't let my father find out... I hated this restriction, so I rebelled. My brother read the art of war, and I read idle books. If I didn't come back, I would go to the martial arts world to watch others practice swordsmanship. I stole the imperial grandfather's sword from the treasury. Sword manual, I forged that extremely fancy bamboo sword, and I want to be the best swordsman in the world."

"Later, I disobeyed my father and went to Chuncheng to discuss swordsmanship as I wished, and won a great victory. That day, most of Southern Xia was praising how wonderful my swordsmanship was. But when I returned to the palace, I saw my father and mother both died. , the only royal brother who has loved me since childhood was lying on the bed, completely unconscious... I hated myself so much.

If I had not disobeyed my father and became the emperor of Southern Xia according to his wishes, then perhaps none of this would have happened. The royal brother can live peacefully and be an idle prince. If I was tired and asked him to review the memorial for me, the emperor would definitely agree because he was kind-hearted and soft-hearted. I would still secretly practice swordplay, but the emperor would definitely turn a blind eye.

The queen mother can still stay with her father, embroider and admire brocades with the emperor’s sister-in-law in her spare time, and raise Buyu together..."

Chi Linjing's voice was extremely smooth, as if he was telling someone else's story lightly, but Yin Luo could see from the bottom of his eyes the kind of dust that was similar to the burnt out sparks, in which the light was no longer obvious, like experiencing the darkest moment. Then the temperature dropped.

Similar to numbness. "You don't want to be the emperor." She said in a declarative tone, but with a slight upward twist at the end, guiding him to answer.

"I don't want to. I still don't want to." Young Master Qingpao looked up at her with a determined expression.

"Actually, I might know why you don't want to."

Yin Luo smiled comfortingly, put his hand on his arm, patted him twice, and continued: "You are afraid that you will not be able to stay in the palace stably for a long time, and you will be the world's puppet on strings, and your every move will be criticized by the whole court. Civil and military peeping. You are afraid that after becoming emperor, you will be annoyed by endless memorials and will no longer be able to practice swordsmanship to fulfill your childhood dream. You are afraid that you will not handle political affairs as appropriately as your imperial brother, and will not be able to bear the consequences when you make a wrong decision. What kind of impact will it have on Nan Xia in the future? You are afraid that you will live up to the high hopes your father has placed on you, so you feel that as long as you refuse to do it, the bad things you expected to happen will definitely not happen. "

There was no shame on Chi Linjing's face that his thoughts had been revealed. Instead, he smiled, looked at Yin Luo and replied: "Yes. So I was worried about it. After the emperor's brother passed away, I first asked the emperor's sister-in-law for her opinion. I was very happy to learn that she was willing to let Buyu inherit the throne. The emperor's children are as strong and outstanding as the emperor's children. The emperor should be such a person. I only need to be the regent and pave the way for Buyu. , when he truly has the ability to sit firmly on the throne, I will retire and feel at ease."

But his eyes flashed with sadness, "But I didn't protect him. Not long after he ascended the throne, the restless Zhengren sent someone to deliver a poisonous memorial to him... It's the most amazing poison in the world that can destroy one's heart. ! I found hundreds of good medicines to save his life, and finally saved a life. Then I found out that the Resurrection Pill was in the Qilin Wood of Daliang. Before leaving Nanxia, ​​I climbed to the [-]st Pavilion to ask for Shang Yue's help. Yin protected Bu Yu for me, and I let him decide the price, but he didn't see me. I waited for three days and three nights, and he finally agreed, saying that as long as he followed his tricks and didn't die, he would be willing to stay in the royal court and be Bu Yu. Personal bodyguard."

"The best in the world, Shang Yueyin? Have you followed his tricks?"

"I almost didn't accept it. When I walked out of the [-]st Pavilion, my muscles and bones had been broken by him, and every inch of my internal injuries remained, which would never heal. It was at that moment that I suddenly understood that the things I wanted could be It is already rare to protect one person. One cannot take advantage of everything. Even though I have not forgiven myself for being young and frivolous, I no longer hate myself and the past as much as before."

"So, the internal injuries you suffered in Lingzhou were due to Shang Yueyin? Just to find a loyal guard for the little emperor of Nanxia who will be unrivaled after you leave the palace?"

Yin Luo frowned. Chi Linjing was devoted to Chi Buyu. She could see how much he cared about his martial arts, but he was willing to find Shang Yueyin for Chi Buyu who had such a huge disparity in strength...

Letting the number one person in the world be Chi Buyu's bodyguard sounded like a reckless decision. Yin Luo couldn't even imagine it. Before he went, he must have already estimated the price he would have to pay, but he still didn't flinch.

What he said just now seemed to be describing a time when he was a deserter from the Southern Xia royal family.

But he forgot that real deserters never return to the battlefield.

"There can be no chaos in Southern Xia." Chi Linjing replied, and there was already some relief in his eyes. "Besides, if it hadn't been for this, how could I, a junior, have the opportunity to compete with the world's number one, Twenty-One Pavilion?" Lord, do you want to fight with Yue Yin?"
