Chapter 176 Selfish Soul

Gao Jin went directly to the morning court and ordered someone to remind Dark Soul to pay tribute to Miao Ji;

After receiving the rumors from the palace maid, Dark Soul understood Gao Jin's intention. If Gao Jin was walking on a long road, although she could not make shoes on his feet, she could at least clear some irrelevant gravel on the road for him.

After dressing up, Dark Soul came to Miaoji's Fengyi Hall. Since there was no one outside the hall, Dark Soul walked in directly. I saw Miaoji sitting in front of the bronze mirror, still dressed in disheveled, as if she was just getting up. From the bronze mirror, she seemed a little haggard and tired.

Dark Soul did not dare to stop his eyes for a long time, and owed his body, "I am here to pay my respects to the Queen."

Miao Ji glanced at Dark Soul from the bronze mirror, then stood up, and said with a smile, "Empress Rong got up early, but I haven't pretended yet, so I want to make Concubine Rong laugh."

"I dare not. It was because I came here that I disturbed the empress. I hope I forgive my sins." Dark Hun nodded and said, no matter whether she was sincere or false, etiquette must be done in place.

"The Queen Rong is so serious. It's because I haven't had a good rest last night, so I just got up this morning. If Concubine Rong has nothing to do, I'll have to wait in the side palace." Miao Ji still smiled. If she wanted to deal with a man, she had to start with the woman beside him.

Dark Hun smiled and said, "I'm waiting for the Empress." As he said that, he nodded and signaled, and then led the palace maid to the side hall next to him. Miao Ji was undoubtedly fighting a woman's psychological battle with her, so he deliberately revealed the scene last night;

No matter how broad-minded women are, they have a narrow side, especially when facing women who share the person they love deeply, their narrow mind will become more and more compact;

Dark Soul was in the side hall, drinking tea, and the tea was tasteless, and her thoughts were even more depressed. Although she repeatedly warned herself that all this was just the beginning. In about half a quarter of an hour, the palace maid brought Dark Soul into the main hall. Miao Ji was already decorated with peach blossoms in the dew. When Dark Soul came, she also stood up to greet her. She seemed to have no posture as a queen, but her momentum was better than the queen's delicacy.

"Let Concubine Rong wait for a long time, come and sit down." Miao Ji pulled Dark Soul enthusiastically, not caring about her identity as a queen at all.

"I don't dare." Dark Soul nodded and said, his expression on his face was not inferior to her at all. Miaoji looked at Dark Soul with some clues;

Dark Hun smiled and said, "The Queen is not aware of something. The palace has always had a rule. Whenever the concubines of the Queen-Governor pay their respects to the Queen for the first time, they would brew tea cups and present them to them. However, I am not good at tea art, so I hope the Queen will not dislike it."

Miao Ji didn't think much, and said with a smile, "I don't want the Beiliang Palace to have such rules." Dark Hun smiled, and Miao Ji said again, "Since that's the case, then I'll have to spare Concubine Rong."

Dark Soul pursed his lips and said, "It is my blessing to be able to offer tea to the Queen Mother."

Miaoji smiled and raised her head to the palace servant beside her and said, "Come... I'll put tea cups on Concubine Rong."

The palace servant next to him nodded, and then put a set of exquisite tea sets for Dark Soul. Dark Soul put the tea into the tea cup, poured the hot hot water into the cup, and the rolled tea leaves instantly stretched out. Dark Soul poured out the first-hand tea and brewed it again. The moment she poured the water, the kodan in her little finger touched the water slightly, and the powder in the kodan also stayed in the cup along with the water. Her skillful movements did not attract any attention, and she brewed a cup of fragrant and rich tea in a short while.

Dark Soul held the teacup and knelt down in front of Miaoji, lifted the teacup over his head and handed it to Miaoji, "Please ask the Queen to use tea."

Gao Jin's instructions came a little suddenly. She could only put the contraceptive medicine in the kohlrabi and had the opportunity to let Miaoji take it on the grounds of tribute tea. They all needed time to explore this strange queen.

Miao Ji took the tea cup and took a sip to her mouth. The tea smelled very refreshing. In this cold winter, there was a cup of hot tea to keep warm, which seemed to be very suitable. So she took another sip until the coldness of her body was driven away and she put the tea cup down. Only then did she realize that the dark soul was still kneeling in front of her, so she hurriedly raised her hand and said, "Celebrity Rong, get up quickly."

Dark Soul nodded and answered. For her, Miaoji deliberately neglected her. However, at first she was worried that Miaoji would just take a sip of the teacup and affect the effect of the medicine. Now, she doesn't have to worry at all.

The two of them randomly found some topics and had a harmonious conversation. Since Lin Xuan'er had never come to greet her, Dark Hun found an excuse for her, saying that she was not in good health, and Miaoji didn't care much.

Recently, Gao Jin has been neglecting Hougong on the grounds of government affairs. He is easy to deal with both Miaoji and Dark Soul, but Lin Xuan'er is not afraid to face it. Before she can fully adapt, he will give her time to forget. All he wants is that she can stay by his side;

Lin Xuaner's avoidance of Gao Jin can only prove that he is guilty and timid. In fact, it is better not to meet each other. If she doesn't meet, she doesn't have to face it. If she doesn't meet, she won't hate her so much.

On this day, Lin Xuan'er returned to Lin's mansion under the arrangement of Gao Jin; while Lin Mo was not in the mansion, there were only Cui'er and Xiaoying in the huge mansion;

Even though the Lin Mansion has returned to its former appearance, it still cannot return to the warmth it used to be, like a simple heart, after experiencing vicissitudes, it cannot return to the simplicity it used to be.

Lin Xuan'er sent everyone around him, leaving Cui'er alone. The two of them wandered in the backyard. It was winter and there was no scenery in the yard. The slight cold wind blew from all sides, and they didn't feel any chill at all;

When she arrived at a pavilion, Lin Xuan'er walked in and sat down first. Cui'er had already noticed her displeasure, but she didn't plan to ask, because she was not the time to know, so she just sat down next to her.

Lin Xuan'er had been brewing for a long time and finally asked, "Cui'er, are you willing to enter the palace with me?"

Cui'er was slightly stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Cui'er is the girl's slave, so she should follow her. "

The palace is a good place for aspiring women to climb, but for her or her, it is a bottomless pool of stagnant water. Although she does not understand Lin Xuan'er's meaning, she can detect that her words refer to them.

"Don't you want to know why?" Lin Xuan'er knew that as long as she said, Cui'er would definitely not refuse, but she didn't want her to regret it in the future, and she didn't want her to know her selfishness and resent her.

Cui'er smiled far-fetchedly and shook her head gently. It's not that she didn't want to know, but she didn't know how to speak, or rather, she didn't know how to choose.

Lin Xuan'er held her hand and said with a sad look on her face, "I know you have feelings for my brother, but my brother only wants a quietness away from the world, so he has been hiding his identity, but now my identity is different, and the quietness he wants is difficult to have, so we must stay away from him and give him the life he wants."

Lin Xuan'er deeply understood that if Cui'er was left in the Lin Mansion, with the affection between her and Cui'er, they would have to come and go frequently, and Gao Jin would have to closely observe her movements for himself. Then Lin Mo's identity would be revealed sooner or later. If they did not interact, Gao Jin would be even more suspicious. Therefore, her selfish choice to break them up was because she had no selfish mentality, but she had a selfish soul.

When Cui'er heard this, she finally understood the reason. She knew a little bit about Lin Mo's past, but at this time, she didn't need to understand too much. For the passionate feelings in her heart, she nodded decisively and firmly.

"Don't you hate me?" Lin Xuan'er looked at Cui'er with guilt. If it weren't for her, maybe they could have a complete and worry-free life.

Cui'er shook her head with a sad face, "If you want to hate, I hate that we met the wrong time."

There are too many encounters in the world, different times, different places, and different people, often too early or too late. There are really a perfect time to meet, and there are several more times in the world. Perhaps, everyone is looking forward to that coincidental encounter throughout their lives, or living for that moment of encounter.

"As long as we meet, it's not a pity." Lin Xuan'er looked far away, and her expression was empty. In her life, she just needs to transform the most beautiful encounter into the most profound memories, which is enough.

Cui'er glanced at Lin Xuan'er with a sad face and smiled desolately in a blink of an eye. She could imagine that she had faced the pain when she gave up Song Jingran, and everyone had a helpless and fragile side in the face of choices.

Since Lin Mo had never returned to the mansion, Lin Xuan'er sent someone back to the palace to inform Gao Jin, saying that he had suddenly felt unwell and wanted to stay in Lin's mansion for one night because she knew that the palace servants around her were all Gao Jin's eyes.

Lin Mo didn't return home until the evening. When he heard that Lin Xuan'er was in the house, he was very excited to go straight to Zepinyuan because he had too many questions and wanted her to answer them;

When Lin Mo arrived in the garden, she saw her wandering on the swing she loved alone. Although it was winter in the cold, she still looked at the sky with a calm look. There were so many unknown secrets hidden on her calm face, and so many pains that others could not understand.

This scene reminded him of his childhood, but her body and mind could no longer see the innocence and simplicity of her childhood, but desolation and loneliness. Suddenly, he subsided all the questions in his heart. He just wanted to protect her and give her spiritual comfort.

"Xuan'er..." Lin Mo reminded him and followed her.

Lin Xuan'er took back the eyes from the sky, looked at Lin Mo and smiled, and shouted softly, "Brother..."

Lin Mo walked beside her and helped her gently push the swing, just like when she was a child;

Lin Xuan'er just let him push, closed his eyes, and completely recalled the time when he was a child. At that time, they had no worries, only laughter, at that time, they had no pain, only happiness, at that time, they were like flowers in spring, blooming their own beauty freely. At that time, they had the purest love and the most true love.

Now, worries replace their laughter, and pain replaces their happiness. From the flowers in spring to the frost and snow in winter, after experiencing reincarnation every year, they still have a passionate heart, true love, but no longer have pure love.
