The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 60
Most of the things in this world have rules to follow, just as the Buddhists say, cause and effect, retribution.

In this way, if a person is sensible enough to follow the clues and find the cause of everything that happened, he should be able to bear everything that happened.

However, in life, more or less, how can we not be entangled by personal emotions?

And she, Song Jinse, probably will never be able to become such a rational person.Because to this day, she still can't figure out where the so-called causes and consequences of the things that happened to her are.

The moonlight is like a tulle, covering the quiet and quiet courtyard.

The heaven and the earth melt into a peaceful atmosphere, and the scent of sweet-scented osmanthus honey is flowing quietly.The man in brocade was sitting on the ground, with his knees resting on the woman in blue and plain gauze. There was a desolate tranquility between the picturesque eyebrows, as if he had fallen asleep.

Su Li lowered his head, looked at her tightly closed eyes, and felt a slight movement in his heart, but he was extremely cautious, as if he didn't even dare to sigh.

After a long time, he still stretched out his hand, stroked her slightly hot cheek lightly, and called in a low voice, "Jinse?"

Jinse opened her eyes half asleep, gave him a hazy look, closed her eyes again, moved on his lap, found a comfortable position and continued to fall asleep.

Su Li withdrew his hand and looked at her silently. After a long time, Fang took off his robe and put it on her body.

She slept soundly on his lap, but he was sleepless all night.

In the morning, Jinse was woken up by the golden sunlight, and when she slowly opened her eyes, Su Li was still in the same posture as yesterday, looking at her motionlessly.

Because of drinking last night, Jinse had a headache. Su Li helped her sit up, and she slowly remembered where it was, and then looked at him: "What time is it? Isn't today the Longevity Day? Why are you still here?" Didn't enter the palace?"

Su Li stretched out his hand to straighten her messy temple hair, and said in a deep voice, "You are a sound sleeper, I don't want to wake you up."

Jinse let out a soft "ah", then lowered her head, showing a slight disapproval look: "I sleep, which is more important than the world's major events?"

Su Li lowered his eyes and smiled, but did not answer.

Jinse scratched her head and stood up from the ground: "I'm going to wash up, you should hurry up and enter the palace."

"Jinse!" Su Li stood up with her, grabbed her hand, waited for her to look at him, and pondered for a long time before finally saying, "What will happen to Marquis Song, I really don't know."

Jinse was stunned for a moment, then slowly lowered her head, smiled lightly, and said, "I know. Although you refused to promise me to save my father at that time, I know it was because you annoyed me and deliberately said it to annoy me .I said, you are you, your mother is your mother, I will not blame you."

After saying that, she raised her head again and smiled at him, then carefully broke off the fingers he was pinching on her wrist one by one, turned around and ran towards the house.

Su Li's tall and straight body was slightly stiff, watching her run into the room, but suddenly there was a sigh behind her.

The fairy-like old man Mei with a fluttering white beard slowly walked forward from behind him, and when he passed by him, he glanced at him lightly: "Haven't you entered the palace yet? That girl is sleeping, compared with the world's major events, Which is more important?"

"Teacher." Su Li called him in a daze, and suddenly remembered the words he had repeated Jinse, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I only know that for her, sleep is more important. "

After Jinse washed and washed, when she stepped out of the hall door, she saw that a small table had been set up in the courtyard, and the table was full of breakfast food, and the old man was sitting at the table drinking porridge slowly, but Su Li had already left .

Jinse went straight up and sat down opposite Old Man Mei, grabbed a steamed stuffed bun and stuffed it into her mouth, took another big mouthful of porridge, and finally smacked her lips and said, "It's really delicious."

Although it was really delicious in his mouth, he didn't take another bite.

The old man lowered his gaze to observe her expression carefully, and asked calmly, "What are you thinking?"

Jinse raised her eyes and glanced at him. After a long time, Fang slowly pulled out a smile: "I'm thinking, whether God treats me fairly or not."

"Want to take revenge?" The old man continued calmly.

"Revenge?" Jinse seemed to have heard a very strange word, and she was puzzled for a long time before she came to her senses, "Revenge..."

At this time, it was the old man's turn to show a puzzled face: "What's the matter? Didn't you think about taking revenge this time? After living in the Pudu Temple for a while, he really gave birth to some wisdom roots, and he saw life and death apart." ?”

After a long silence, Jinse said in a low voice: "I know that Daddy's death was not just because of being persecuted. He wanted to keep me. Maybe, even if no one forced him, he would commit suicide. I knew it clearly, but I just I can't see it. If she hadn't forced Dad, Dad might not have chosen to commit suicide at that time, and maybe in two more days, everything would turn around...

"But, it's just a possibility... So, at this time, I feel that God is really unfair to me. I have no mother, no sister, and later, even my father left me. Since my father died From then on, I often wondered if I was the lone star of Heavenly Evil, and whether anyone who was related to me by blood would suffer bad luck. That's why I didn't even recognize my two younger brothers, and now there is only one Su Li He was kind to me, but he suddenly told me that my father was forced to death by his mother... In fact, I really hate God and why he treats me like this. In this world, I really don't care much, but But he still wants to take away the same thing..."

The old man looked at her calm face, and said slowly: "What you care about and what you are attached to are all limited to your small world. In this world, there are actually many important things that deserve your care."

Jinse looked at him, and suddenly smiled: "But those big things, what does it matter to me? Whether the world is unified or divided, what does it matter to me? This Qingyue belongs to Su Ran or Su Li, Why should I care? For me, this country is far less important than my parents and sisters. This country is not mine. If it is mine, I am willing to trade it for a complete and peaceful one. A family of four. Of course, you may not understand this kind of caring, because you are Su Li's mentor, and you want to help him win the world. In your eyes, my so-called caring is really sad and ridiculous Bar?"

The old man stared at her calmly for a moment, then shook his head and sighed: "Even if I say I understand, you probably won't believe it. But now, I don't believe it myself."

Hearing these words in Jinse's ears, she felt specious, but she was powerless to delve into it, and sat there with her cheeks propped up, and continued: "Now I'm just lucky, I'm glad that I have a three-year agreement with Su Li, and there are still two more years left." More than a year. You see, I am really cowardly, and now I have two years to escape for myself, and I feel lucky."

Longevity Festival, a night banquet in the palace.

Due to repeated natural disasters, the state treasury is tight, and the palace's expenditures have been reduced one after another. Therefore, this year's Longevity Festival banquet is quite different from previous years. Not only is the hall decorated elegantly and cleanly, but even the dishes on the banquet are extremely simple and simple.Even so, everyone in the hall was full of smiles, and it was still a scene of universal celebration and joy.

When the dance and music gradually started, the people in the hall chatted with each other.

On the throne, the emperor leaned over to talk to the queen mother, the two chatted and laughed, and the concubine Zhuang sitting next to her occasionally said a few words, the scene was very harmonious and joyful.

The second seated Su Mo and Rong Yue were much quieter.Su Mo propped his cheeks, squinted his eyes slightly to watch the dancer's performance in the palace, and turned his head to talk to Rong Yue from time to time, Rong Yue mostly just smiled, concentrating on adding wine to his dishes.

And Su Li Bing Lihui in the third seat was even more quiet.It's not that Lihui is willing to be quiet, but because she talked to Su Li frequently before, Su Li's face was gloomy, and most of them didn't respond. At this time, she was even more absent-minded, as if the people in the hall were nothing in his eyes. Forced to do so, he finally closed his mouth reluctantly.

The banquet was halfway through, and the concubine Ji, who had been in the midst of the past half a year, came late.

Concubine Ji entered the hall and stood in the hall to congratulate the emperor on his birthday. The dance and music in the hall stopped for a moment.Concubine Ji's appearance was pleasing and her temperament was active. After saying a few auspicious words, the Empress Dowager was already smiling, and the emperor also smiled and said, "Why is Qin'er late?"

In front of all civil and military officials, the emperor did not shy away from addressing her by her boudoir name, which shows how much he favored her.When Concubine Ji heard this, a slight blush appeared on her cheeks, and she said: "The concubine was originally prepared to come early in the morning, but before leaving, she suddenly felt unwell, so she delayed for a while."

Concubine Zhuang who was at the side heard the words, and hurriedly asked with concern: "What's wrong with Sister Ji's concubine? Did you tell the imperial doctor?"

Hearing this, Concubine Ji's face turned even redder, she glanced at the emperor shyly and timidly, and called out a little coquettishly: "Your Majesty!"

Seeing her appearance, the emperor suddenly smiled: "Qin'er looks like this, but do you have something to tell me?"

Concubine Ji rubbed the silk in her hand, and said in a charming voice: "The concubine wants to talk to the emperor alone."

The emperor chuckled, and stretched out his hand to summon her to the throne.

This move was not out of bounds, Concubine Zhuang's face was a little unsightly for a moment, but the Queen Mother pretended not to see it, and the officials below naturally pretended not to see it.

But seeing Concubine Ji clung to the emperor's ear and said something with a blushing face, the emperor was startled for a moment, and then laughed loudly, hugged Concubine Ji and sat with him, and at the same time looked sideways at the Queen Mother: "Son. Congratulations to the empress, I will finally be the emperor's grandmother."

When the Queen Mother heard the words, she was startled at first, and then a pleasant smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Concubine Ji: "Is this true?"

Concubine Ji blushed, bowed her head and said, "Go back to the Queen Mother, the imperial doctor has confirmed the diagnosis just now."

The Empress Dowager was overjoyed immediately, and Concubine Zhuang, who was stunned by the side, finally came to her senses, and hurriedly said: "Congratulations to the Emperor, Congratulations to the Empress Dowager, and congratulations to Sister Concubine Ji."

All the officials below came to their senses, stood up one after another, and congratulated together: "Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the empress dowager, congratulations to concubine Ji."

Su Mo chuckled and said, "Longevity is celebrated everywhere, and today I am happy to hear that the royal family has a new dragon descendant. I am so happy. I respect the emperor and the concubine Ji."

The emperor smiled and picked up the wine glass to drink with him, but Su Li looked at Su Mo from the sidelines, and then looked away.

He didn't think about it here, he just wanted to leave the palace and go looking for Jinse. After the congratulations in the hall, he was about to get up, but the dance and music started again in the hall.

Su Li didn't care at all, and still got up and walked out of the hall, but he didn't want to lead the dancer into the hall at this moment, with the crimson dance clothes reflecting a beautiful face.After a glimpse, Su Li suddenly stopped.

The dance music was cheerful, and after everyone in the hall had laughed, they gradually turned their attention to the dancing girls.

Su Li suddenly turned around and looked at where Su Mo was sitting.

Su Mo was tilting his head to talk to Rong Yue. After a while, he drank a glass of wine and finally looked up at his favorite song and dance.

The moment he raised his eyes, Su Li could see him, his expression was clear, and after a while, his eyes were locked on the crimson dance dress.

Rong Yue always only paid attention to Su Mo, but now seeing him staring at one place with serious eyes, she couldn't help but also look there, and her expression changed immediately.

Gradually, the empress dowager at the top, Concubine Zhuang, seemed to have noticed the dancer, and her expression changed in unison.But the emperor kept holding Ji's concubine and talking in a low voice, as if he didn't pay attention.

Su Li paused in his heart, and after a while, he returned to his seat and looked at the dancer without blinking.

Ling Luo, if he guessed correctly, this is the "Ling Luo" Jin Se had seen, right?He glanced at Su Mo whose expression changed slightly, and a sneer sneered slightly at the corner of his mouth, but it was true, almost exactly the same.

Gradually, some ministers in the palace noticed Ling Luo, and those who still remembered the appearance of Jin Yan in the past felt a little panic in their hearts at the moment.

After a while, the atmosphere in the hall can already be described as weird.

The dance music gradually reached its peak, and the emperor, who had been lowering his head to talk to Ji Bin, finally raised his head, glanced at the situation in the palace with a smile, glanced at Ling Luo, paused for a while, and then moved away calmly.

Until the end of the song, when a group of dancers surrounded Ling Luo and retreated, most of the people in the hall still had their eyes fixed on Ling Luo, as if they couldn't move away.

Seeing the dancer girl exiting the hall, Su Li suddenly stood up and chased her out.

Although Jinse said that he has seen it now, but if he can bring this weird "Lingluo" to her, maybe he will really unravel her knot.

But he forgot to notice for a moment that Su Mo's seat was already empty.

When Su Li went straight to find the dancers who were dressing up as the resting hall, the group of dancers was really frightened, and they all looked at each other, at a loss.

Until Xiao Du led them to stand still in the open space outside, Su Li's condensed eyes swept over their faces one by one, but he didn't see the face he was looking for at all.

His face suddenly sank: "Where is the girl leading the dance?"

All the dancers looked around in surprise for a while, and at the end, they all asked in surprise: "Why is Ling Luo missing?"

Su Li frowned, and winked at Xiao Du, Xiao Du understood, and immediately went down to lead people to search.

Su Li said again: "Where are you dancers from? Who is Ling Luo?"

None of the dancers recognized him, and only one of them replied in a low voice: "My lord, we are the dancers selected by the governor of Yuanfeng. The Lingluo dance is very good, and it was specially selected by the governor a few days ago. The lead dancer, and she has a withdrawn personality, we are not familiar with her, and we don't know her origin."

Yuanfeng County is the closest county to Qingzhou, the capital city, but it can be reached in half a day's journey.

And the unknown woman who was able to sneak into the palace just by her dancing posture was extremely surreptitious every time she appeared, almost coming and going without a trace.

Su Li almost didn't need to think about it, and he could conclude that the appearance of this woman was a conspiracy, but what was not certain was, who was this conspiracy aimed at?

The first time she appeared was in front of Zhongli, Jinse and the emperor, and the second time she appeared was in Qingyue Palace, Wanshou Festival.

The only intersection of the two incidents seems to be the emperor. Could it be that she came for the emperor?

Su Li was meditating all the way, walking back and forth, and when he passed a rockery in front of the banquet hall, he suddenly bumped into Su Mo who came from another direction.

"Second Brother?" He called him slightly suspiciously, raised his eyebrows and looked at the direction Su Mo came from—there was the direction leading to the palace gate, "Second Brother, where are you going?"

Su Mo smiled slightly, but still looked calm, brushed off his cuffs, and said, "I thought the hall was a bit boring, so I came out for a walk. Why did you come out?"

Su Li also raised the corners of his lips: "Me? I saw a dancing girl who was very similar to the former second sister-in-law. I was curious and wanted to come out to find out what was going on. Could it be that the second brother didn't notice that, Is the lead dancer in the crimson dress exactly the same as the former second sister-in-law?"

"Oh?" Su Mo raised his eyebrows lightly, "Maybe I was a little dizzy from drinking too much wine before, but I really didn't notice it."

Su Li still smiled: "Really? It's a pity that a living person disappeared from the palace for no reason. I can't find her no matter how hard I look for it. I'm afraid that my second brother will never meet again."

"It's not a serious person. What does it matter if you see it or not?" Su Mo smiled lightly, and walked towards the hall.

"Then who is tight?" Su Li stepped up to keep up, looked at Su Mo's calm back, and said word by word, "Concubine Ji, is it tight?"

Su Mo paused, turned to look at him, and smiled suspiciously: "What do you mean?"

Su Li smiled faintly: "Earlier, everyone in the palace was congratulating the emperor's brother and the queen mother, but from the younger brother's point of view, they should congratulate the second brother. This chess piece is really well placed."

Su Mo shook his head with a low smile and sighed: "This statement is absurd, and even more treasonous. How can the third brother talk nonsense? You and my brothers naturally have nothing to worry about, but if others listen to it, the consequences will be really worrying."

"Really?" Su Li raised his eyebrows slightly and glanced at him, then sneered, "So, let's treat it as my younger brother's nonsense."

After saying that, he went straight past Su Mo and strode back to the palace.

Sure enough, the hall was still immersed in the shock brought by the previous Scarlet Dancer, and the atmosphere was a little weird, but only the emperor and Ji concubine were still talking in a low voice without realizing it.
