211 You always favor him
"No one in the Nian family made things difficult for me." The moon escaped faintly.
Lin Jian's eyes flashed. Although he didn't say anything, he thought a lot in his heart.
"A lot of things have happened to you in the He family for nearly six years, right?" Lin Jian said something.
"Nothing good happened in the He family. If Your Highness insists on asking, it will be some bad memories. Will Your Highness be willing to listen?"
The tone of the Moon at this moment was faint and there was no turmoil.
If it weren't for rebirth, maybe she had died at the hands of Aunt He and her daughter a few months ago.
"Okay, let's not mention it." Lin Jian today seems a little different from usual.
Although Man Yue had some doubts in her heart, she didn't ask.
Lin Jian's temperament is a bit erratic and casual after all. Maybe it's like this today, and tomorrow it will be different. Man Yue doesn't think she is so special to Lin Jian.
There are many things that cannot be heard by just listening to, and you will also see the most critical moment. Who is still standing beside her?
The carriage was still a distance away from the post station. When the full moon was over, Lin Jian asked to stop and get off first.
"I'll go with you." Lin Jian also walked out of the carriage together. Nian Zheng stood not far from the carriage, his face as deep as water, and he was loyal to his duties.
"Your Highness has been out for a while, and the emperor and the empress dowager will be anxious." Man Yue whispered Lin Jian.
"They just met me, and where can they go in a hurry? I just said a few words to you. After all, you don't want to be alone with me." Lin Jian's face darkened slightly. Although he didn't mean to blame Man Yue in his heart, the emotions that had been suppressed for a long time burst out faintly at this moment.
"Your Highness, there are many ears and ears around the post station. There is still more than half a month left. Manyue just wants to spend these ten days quietly. Please forgive me." Manyue said the truth. If she went back with Lin Jian, the Empress Dowager would call her over before the night was too late.
"When you walked with Lao Wu before, many people had seen it. So—"
"That's why Concubine An sent someone to call the fifth prince away, but that was Concubine An's business. Besides, the fifth prince helped me to rescue the siege. Later, Concubine An gave an order. Didn't the fifth prince go back? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also helped me to rescue the siege. Now I just don't want to cause too many rumors in the future."
The lighter and casual, the more conflicted Lin Jian’s heart was.
As a result, he felt that the distance between him and the full moon was getting farther and farther away. The relationship that had already stagnated was once again covered with a layer of alienation and indifference for no reason.
"Actually, sometimes, I'm thinking, I just want to keep you by my side, and whether I have the ability and real rights to protect you. Sometimes, I do have a little bit of a choice, but when it comes to your problems, I have never made a frivolous and simple decision, but your concerns make me unable to defend it!
If I force my husband to find you again and again or my father wants to keep you by my side, the stronger my needs, the greater your danger. I can convince myself of all my emotions for you, but at present, I cannot convince my father and the queen mother to follow my wishes. After all, I am not strong enough and I have not enough to protect you and take care of you."
Lin Jian never thought that one day he would say such things.
He never thought that he would analyze his current situation and his true thoughts so clearly.
If it weren't for the full moon, perhaps he would never see through his heart in his life, nor would he learn not to face reality and everything in front of him like an ordinary person.
After hearing Lin Jian's words, Man Yue couldn't help but frown.
"Your Highness has a special status. He has been in the palace for eighteen years. What should you say and what you should be rotten in your stomach forever is definitely clearer than Man Yue. Your Highness's heart is just about to say to Man Yue. As for other occasions, Your Highness only needs one move to respond to all changes. Whether it is the Second and Third Highness, you will not be able to find the prince's weakness for the time being."
The words of the full moon made Lin Jian’s face unstable.
"You seem to be favoring the fifth brother?" The more Man Yue didn't mention Lin Dongyao, the more sensitive Lin Jian was.
"It is not a partial protection, but to tell the situation in Kyoto of the Crown Prince in the next year. Lin Donghe was secretly busy building his own career in order to launch a fatal blow to other princes in the future. The Third Prince is not a fuel-saving lamp. At critical moments, he can surrender to Lin Donghe without hesitation. In the future, he is a puppet of Lin Donghe, but he can fight side by side with Lin Donghe. As for the Fifth Prince, his temperament is still a little free and indifferent. He is not the one who takes the initiative to fight for it. Therefore, before the situation in the Crown Prince has developed and changed dramatically, the Fifth Prince will not take any extreme or harmful actions. Your Highness understands this point a little."
"What I understand best now is that Lao Wu's position in your mind is completely different from that of others, and I was turned into a role like the second and third brothers, right?"
"Your Highness thinks so, Man Yue can't explain it."
The Month is just a matter of fact, and she can stop Lin Jian from thinking.
"Your Highness, let's stop here today. Since your Highness does not agree with Man Yue, why not talk about it later in a while. Maybe Man Yue will change his opinion, or may His Highness understand it?"
Man Yue knew Lin Jian’s temper a little, and it was hard to make sense to be stubborn.
Besides, he now recognizes that he is favored by Lin Dongyao. If he continues to talk, he will be even more stubborn.
"Maybe in a few days, Lao Wu will have many countless advantages in your mind!" Lin Jian's tone was cold, and his eyes looked at Man Yue were full of helplessness and bleakness.
Since the last night when she witnessed her and Lin Dongyao together at the Hou Mansion, Lin Jian's heart has always been a knot. Although he also knew that some words were said on purpose by Lin Dongyao, when did his always ruthless fifth brother have ever been in love with women?
Not to mention that it appears in the middle of the night, it is rare to talk in close contact.
It is Lin Dongyao's special treatment of the Moon that Lin Jian really cannot accept.
"Your Highness——"
"Who?!"
Just as the full moon was about to end today's conversation, a humble drink came from Su Kang.
"Ah!!" The woman's scream suddenly sounded. The full moon was so familiar to me. It came from Linghu Qiuyu.
"I-I am Linghu Manyue's sister! I-I have something to say to her." Linghu Qiuyu glared at Su Kang with red face and stammered in explanation, but the expression on her face was furious.
She stayed alone at the inn for a while, but no one knew a daughter from a noble family, and no one paid attention to her. She looked at her with disdain. Linghu Qiuyu didn't dare to make a loud noise, so she could only sneak out to find the Mon Moon.
He clearly saw Man Yue talking to the prince from afar. He originally wanted to come up and get close to Lin Jian, but Su Kang suddenly rushed out of the darkness, which scared Linghu Qiuyu so much that he almost sat on the ground.
"Su Kang, don't be rude." Lin Jian ordered in a deep voice.
Su Kang hurriedly stepped down.
Lin Jian saw that although the face of Man Yue was cold to Linghu Qiuyu, this coldness was different from her feelings for the rest of the Hou Mansion. It seemed that she still had a trace of feelings for Linghu Qiuyu. Perhaps it was because she and Linghu Qiuyu were both driven out of the Hou Mansion early.
Linghu Qiuyu suffered a lot outside when she was two or three years old. Manyue was somewhat polite to her. At least some words would be said to her, but she would never say to Linghu Zilu and Linghu Pingxue.
Linghu Qiuyu snorted at Su Kang, and originally wanted to walk over with a swagger, but when he saw Man Yue's cold and horrifying face, he couldn't help but remember the terrifying scene of her wiggling on her face with a dagger. Linghu Qiuyu was worried that if she did something wrong later, she would be really scratched by Linghu Man Yue in the face with a knife.
Before this, the prince and the fifth prince were both reluctant to save him. She had no chance of winning at all.
Linghu Qiuyu moved step by step to the full moon.
"You left me alone at the inn. I - I don't know anyone, and I dare not even say anything, for fear of offending someone if I say something wrong, but I found you. I was hungry and wanted to eat, but I couldn't find the carriage from the Marquis' Mansion. The maid didn't know where to go to be lazy. I just saw you from afar, so I just--" Linghu Qiuyu kept looking at Lin Jian secretly while talking.
But there was indescribable admiration and sigh in my eyes.
This is the king who will unify the Celestial Empire in the future! Her temperament is elegant and noble, and her every move is fascinating and calm. Her delicate and elegant facial features projected a circle of blurred halos under the warm sun. Just a glance will make her feel dizzy.
Linghu Qiuyu never knew that a man could give her such a feeling.
She only felt that she was so small in front of Lin Jian that she was not even as dust on the ground! On the contrary, when Linghu Manyue and Lin Jian stood side by side, her expression and behavior gave people a feeling of matching.
Perhaps, this is Linghu Manyue’s aura and experience.
It is exactly what she lacks deeply.
Linghu Qiuyu knew very well that there was nothing wrong with Linghu Manyue.
And she also understood that it was impossible for Lin Jian to look at her for a longer time. Now she was allowed to get close to her because of Linghu Manyue’s face.
Linghu Qiuyu did not have such unrealistic dreams. She knew that even if it was held in her hands, it might not be her own, so nothing is everlasting.
This is not like Ding Juming and Song Xiaoyou. The farther she is, the less reluctant she is to give up.
