The peasant girl who escaped the desert: she cried when she found the cruel prince

Chapter 256: Taking stock of the weird members of the royal family

After Tantai Lin put Jingli away, he pushed the wheelchair out.

Doctor Shen was blowing his beard and glaring in anger from behind: "Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking, don't you just want to take care of the little girl by yourself!"

He Qing tugged at the master's sleeve uneasily, and Doctor Shen said disapprovingly: "Don't worry, he wishes the whole world could see his little thoughts!"

Along the quiet corridor, the warm sunshine filtered through the leafy forest and dappled on both sides of the corridor. Tantai Lin quietly pushed Jingli and walked slowly.

"It's good for He Qing to accompany me. You're so busy, you really can't take care of me like this!" Jing Li broke the silence, and for a while the wind in the corridor seemed a little subtle.

Tantai Lin didn't say anything, and pushed her under the pavilion by the pond. The wind blew from the water, and the heat of midsummer disappeared instantly.

Tantai Lin knelt down and looked level with Jing Li: "How long do you plan to hide from me?"

Jing Li tilted her head slightly and looked at a pair of wild ducks swimming happily on the water, leaving sparkling water marks.

"What's there to hide? I'm already like this, and I'm in your house, so why should I hide?"

Tantai Lin straightened her face and asked her to look directly at him: "But you don't want to see me!"

"Is changing your identity that important to you?"

Jing Li said nothing, looking at the water with leisurely eyes: "Do you think that duck is happy just swimming leisurely in the pond of the palace?"

"That's because they have never seen the rivers, lakes and seas. If they had seen the vast world outside, how could they be willing to live in a pond."

Tantai Lin laughed softly and said: "That's the Yuanyang! The Yuanyang is on the beam, so kill the Yuanyang on the left!"

Jingli's organized thoughts were instantly disrupted, and he said angrily: "Just because it is a mandarin duck, it can only guard this small area of ​​​​the world. If it is a wild duck or swan goose, how can it guard this small area of ​​​​the world!"

Tantai Lin smoothed her hair that was blown away by the wind: "I said, if you want to expand your territory, I will carve out a kingdom for you."

"If you want to stick to one side, I will guard the city so that no one dares to invade!"

"If you want to plant beans in Nanshan, I can also pick chrysanthemums in Dongli!"

"If you want to wash yarn by the stream, I can also fish and collect firewood!"

When he said this, his expression was extremely serious, and the deep affection in his eyes seemed to overflow. Jing Li did not dare to look further, for fear that he would indulge in it accidentally.

"You are the King of Changling and have power that no one else can touch. If you don't have any woman you want, why do you have to like me, a peasant girl from the countryside who wants nothing but stinks!"

Jing Li persuaded her earnestly. She admitted that even a girl might not be able to resist such an affectionate confession from a man with outstanding looks and charming voice.

What's more, she has always liked beauty, but beauty is precious, and life is even more valuable!
A man who was named Husheng by his biological mother, who grew up in a treacherous place like the palace, and who relied on his own hands to make a fortune.

Jing Li, who had learned some superficial knowledge about psychology as an assistant, did not believe that this man who had experienced an unknown cruel childhood and went to the battlefield to fight at the age of twelve or thirteen could still be mentally sound.

What's more, she has seen him get sick with her own eyes. Although he seems to be less sick now than before, with the advanced medical conditions in later generations, mental illness is still a big problem, let alone in ancient times.

When you like someone, you are deeply affectionate and have no regrets. When you don't like someone, you treat them like a pair of shoes. Don't have too many examples of this.

Tantai Lin looked at her quietly until Jingli felt a little scared when he saw her.

He then slowly said: "You are different from them, you are different from anyone else, you and I are of the same kind, we are both lonely and weak, but we are incomparably stronger!" Jing Li's heart was extremely hard. , seemed to be struck by something, is she lonely?

Tantai Lin reached out to pick up the fallen leaves that fell on the girl's head: "So, how about not going back?"

When he said this, his eyes were a little moist, and there seemed to be waves flowing, so sparkling that Jingli almost blurted out a good word.

Then he suddenly thought, Damn, is this a honey trap? He really has sinister intentions!

Jing Li smiled dryly and said: "Haha, actually it's too early to say this now. My house hasn't been built yet, so I can't let you squat on the ground to eat. That's not appropriate, right?"

"The ranch has not been completed yet, and the business that should be done has not been launched yet. After all this is done, can we talk about the current affairs?"

Tantai Lin continued to speak for her: "There are still two hundred miles of Mochi that have not been conquered, and several surrounding tribes have not surrendered. Small counties like Anxi and Mayi County are still in my hands, right?"

Tantai Lin looked at Jing Li with a faint smile, as if he could clearly see the little thoughts in her heart.

Jing Li turned her eyes away unnaturally. This bitch actually made every move of hers obvious. Was it because of an spy or something?
Tantai Lin clasped the back of Jing Li's head, forcing her to look directly at him: "Jing Ali, you are very ambitious, but I like your arrogance that hides everything."

"As long as you want it, I can give it to you. So, do you think it's okay to say it now?"

Jing Li once again hated her current weakness, like a puppet on strings, being manipulated by others and unable to control herself.

Jing Li took a deep breath and said seriously: "Your Majesty, do you mind if I tell you something scandalous about the royal family?"

Tantai Lin frowned slightly at the prince's voice, but still nodded: "That's what you say!"

"It is said that the number of concubines in the former emperor's palace reached as many as three hundred, not to mention the palace servants and the like. It is said that even the wives of courtiers and wives were tainted."

"And now, your eldest brother, there are only a lot more palace concubines than the previous emperor. It is said that there are also male attendants. Compared with the previous emperor, they are much better than the previous emperor."

"Your eldest sister, Princess Xiushan, and that Princess Ruian, well, let's not talk about it!"

"Your nephews are no less generous. It is said that the King of Hejian likes to dismember the concubines he has favored in front of the generals one by one, and then eat them together!"

When Jing Li said this, she saw that the dark color in Tantai Lin's eyes was getting darker, and he seemed to be looking like a storm was about to come.

"Tell me! Why don't you continue talking?" Tantai Lin said casually, playing with the hair in his hand.

Jing Li was afraid that if he was not careful, the entire top of her head would be lifted off.

"Well, among your brothers who are out there, including King Chenliu, King Yinshan, and the dead King Nanyang, you can't find any of them who are even remotely normal."

"The only one who is normal is your fourth nephew King Wei, but I heard that he obeys his mother in everything and serves her with the utmost filial piety!"

After Jingli finished speaking, there was no reply from Tantai Lin for a long time. She couldn't help but look at him sideways and saw that his eyes were closed tightly, as if he was suppressing something.

For a while, I could only hear the breeze blowing through the treetops, the leaves whirling and breaking, and the occasional birds seemed to be frightened away by the quiet atmosphere.

"Have you finished talking?" After a long time, Tantai Lin opened his eyes and said, "But you seem to have missed one person!"
