Anyway, Lin Qingluan was indeed seriously ill yesterday, and today she said she was frightened due to the wind, so it would be a good idea to rest for a few days. Shangguan Lie heard the news and sent Yu Bao to come over, but he still didn't come.

Lin Qingluan understood him so well. She already knew that her slap would make Shangguan Lie displeased, but so what? Shangguan Lie could only continue to "pamper" her, and after she finished the slap, she felt comfortable.

Hibiscus brought the medicine over. Although Lin Qingluan frowned, she still took a sip and drank it.

Just after eating a few candied fruits, Mu Yun came into the palace again and said, "The emperor has sent Su Cainu to accompany her to the Daming Palace."

"I know." Lin Qingluan nodded, "Let's take a look," she said.

However, she just got the news about her brother this morning, and Lin Qingluan is in a good mood. Shangguan Lie can do whatever he likes. As long as he doesn't come to Huo Huo's Lin family, she doesn't care.

She got sick for no reason yesterday, and too many things happened in the past half day. Lin Qingluan was indeed tired. She took a nap after lunch, and when she woke up, she saw a familiar face lying on her bed, and

She was facing each other and taking a nap with her eyes closed.

Lin Qingluan: "...Why are you here so early?"

"I just came off duty. I heard that your empress was ill, and I was worried about her, so I came to take a look." Zhou Chumu said without opening his eyes.

Lin Qingluan rolled her eyes. Now that she saw someone, she asked the question that concerned her most: "Su Cainu, are you really engaged?"

Only then did Zhou Chumu open his eyes. His peach blossom eyes were slightly moist, but he still looked at her meaningfully: "No."

Lin Qingluan's eyes widened slightly. At that time, Su Cainu said so sincerely that she thought it was true!

"She used to be a servant in my house, and she joined the Huanyi Bureau when she had the opportunity last year." Zhou Chumu grabbed Lin Qingluan's hand and squeezed it gently, "She has never been engaged."

"Then why did she..."

"She has not been engaged, but there are concubines in the palace." Zhou Chumu raised his eyes, a cold look flashed in his eyes, "The emperor's actions should be known to others, isn't it?"

Lin Qingluan frowned slightly: "How did you know?"

"If you are willing to check, you can find out." Zhou Chumu turned over and raised his head upward, "He ignored the etiquette and deceived the late emperor into writing a marriage decree and then came to rob you by force. He canceled your engagement abruptly and was afraid of others.

do you know?"

Lin Qingluan was silent for a while. Now that she mentioned this matter again, she had already calmed down. But when facing Zhou Chumu, she really didn't know what to say. After a while, she said: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved."

"It has nothing to do with me." Zhou Chumu murmured, "I even have to thank him..."

It was Shangguan Lie's despicableness that made Lin Qingluan break his heart after entering the palace, so he could take advantage of it, right?

In comparison, I don't know who is more shameless between him and Shangguan Lie.

Lin Qingluan didn't hear his mumbling, so he came closer and asked, "What?"

Seeing the head that suddenly came over, Zhou Chumu curled his lips slightly, held her neck with one hand and pressed down, lips and teeth touching, and after a while, he opened the teeth again and violently tortured her deeply.

Lin Qingluan pushed him away breathlessly, lay on his chest and looked at him for a moment, and suddenly asked: "In a bad mood?"

"No." Zhou Chumu stroked her hair, once and for all, and suddenly asked after a moment, "Your Majesty..."

The usual title was unpleasant at this time. Zhou Chumu didn't want to recall the scene by the lake. After a pause, he said, "Aluan, General Lin is probably going back to Beijing."

"Really?" Lin Qingluan was shocked. She raised her upper body in disbelief, her face full of expressions of wanting to be happy but not daring, "How did you know he was going back to Beijing?"

"My uncle sent the carrier pigeon back. General Lin has returned to northern Xinjiang safely. He killed the second prince of Beirong. My uncle wants to persuade him to go to Beijing together, but he still has to wait for the order." Zhou Chumu said, "The emperor will not refuse.

"

Lin Qingluan's eyes flickered, and she didn't know whether she was happy or sad.

"You don't want him to come back?" Zhou Chumu was a little surprised when he saw that she didn't jump up happily.

Lin Qingluan shook her head slightly, but nodded quickly.

After she was reborn, she sent a letter to her brother. In her previous life, she was addicted to false love and never noticed the frequency of Lin Yaochen's return to Beijing. However, after her rebirth, she recalled that in the past few years, Lin Yaochen's frequent returns to Beijing were somewhat unusual.

Lin Qingluan told his brother in a letter at that time that no matter what the emperor said or what decree he issued, he would refuse to return to Beijing, let alone hand over military power!

As for her sister-in-law and two nephews, Lin Qingluan will definitely find an opportunity to quietly send them out of Beijing and send them to northern Xinjiang to reunite with her brother.

By then, apart from her in the palace, Lin Yaochen would have no constraints, and no longer had to listen to Shangguan Lie's orders. Even if he didn't rebel, he could at least save his life by staying in a corner!

However, when she wrote the letter, Lin Qingluan had just been reborn, and she was in a more agitated mood and her words were stronger. After thinking about it at that time, she realized in despair that the only way to save her life was to resist the decree.

But today, Lin Qingluan is more or less at peace, and she really wants to see her brother, even if she only meets him once and never sees him again in the future.

And according to Lin Qingluan's understanding of Lin Yaochen, if she sent a letter like that, Lin Yaochen would definitely be worried that he would return to Beijing as soon as he had the chance...

"What are you thinking about? You are so lost in thought." Zhou Chumu pinched her cheek gently. Lin Qingluan didn't react, just rubbed it on his finger, then held his hand and looked at it with some sadness.

It was rare for him to show some confusion in front of others: "I...I don't know if it's a good thing for my brother to come back."

Zhou Chumu was stunned and understood what Lin Qingluan meant.

In a sense, the two of them actually had a common experience. Zhou Zhao spent many years of war and military power in exchange for an idle marquis, who had nothing to do all day long.

As his son, Zhou Chumu was not jealous of Shangguan Lie because of his physical weakness. He was given the position of a non-staff guard in front of the emperor, but there was almost no hope of promotion, and the father and son would definitely stay in the capital forever.

For Lin Yaochen, it is indeed better not to return to Beijing than not to go back, as he would be more free outside.

"It should be good to come back this time. Beirong just lost its second prince, and the King of Beirong is still here, so he won't just give up." Zhou Chumu advised warmly.

Lin Qingluan nodded. She was still lying on Zhou Chumu's chest, which was soft and hard. She would tremble slightly when she spoke, which was quite comfortable.

It was rare for Zhou Chumu to see her acting so obediently, so he subconsciously put his arm around her wrist and savored it for a moment before feeling relieved.

I wasn't sick, and I didn't have too many mood swings like that day. Instead, I was very calm.

Zhou Chumu liked the result. He even couldn't help but hold a strand of Lin Qingluan's hair, put it to his lips and kissed her gently, then showed a satisfied smile.

Then he was stunned for a moment, then let go of the hair as if to escape, and just put his hand on Lin Qingluan's lower back, as if this could cover up something.

"Zhou Chumu," Lin Qingluan suddenly thought of something and turned to look at him. Her small face glowed white in the dim light of dusk, making Zhou Chumu almost dare not look at it.

He just looked away when he heard Lin Qingluan ask: "You are already twenty-two, why have you neither engaged nor married?"
