Chapter 598 That’s it
Under the flickering candlelight that alternated between light and dark.
Zhuxi's eyes are as bright as stars, yet so deep that they seem to be able to see through everything in the world.
As clear as rippling water, it hides endless stories...
When the candlelight flickers gently, the light in the eyes also flickers.
Sometimes it is as soft as moonlight shining on the lake, creating ripples; these eyes are like pearls hidden in the darkness.
"Zhuxi was also the regent of the Northern Wei Dynasty"
Warm eyes
Those deep eyes contain only deep affection and concentration on one person.
As he spoke, he bent down slightly and kept a very low profile.
It was as if Lin Junxue was the one who was high above...
The words came out of his mouth with an unhesitating firmness.
"But in front of you, I am just Zhuxi"
Lin Junxue curled her lips, but couldn't stand up yet. She could only move forward slightly, speaking casually.
"Zhu Xi, I don't care who you are, but my father and brother are guarding the border to prevent the Northern Wei behind you, or in other words, to prevent you, the regent. Over the years, it has been you who has controlled the government of the Northern Wei, deployed troops, and the Lin family has been struggling to guard the border."
Zhuxi's eyes were deep, and the light in them dimmed a little...
“You are not a member of the Lin family.”
Lin Junxue shook her head, her eyes indifferent
"Although I am not the original Lin Junxue, you should know what cause and effect is. Since I have become "Lin Junxue", I have an inseparable relationship with her, and the same goes for the father and son of the Lin family. Therefore, you and I are destined to be unable to have both. Even if one day my wish comes true, I don't want to be involved with you, the regent of the Northern Wei Dynasty and a Buddhist from a famous family in the world, so this is the end of the relationship between you and me."
Lin Junxue stared at Zhuxi's face. She felt that she was being cruel to say such words to this face.
In that long half hour
It was pitch black all around, as if the entire world was swallowed up by endless darkness.
In this heart-wrenching silence
Suddenly, Zhuxi's clear and slightly trembling voice rang out again.
"You always say the cruelest words in the softest tone"
Lin Junxue pretends to be relaxed
"I can't help it. Who made me so heartless? Well, you've seen it all tonight. Let's go. Don't look back. Forget about what happened between you and me."
Lin Junxue turned her head away and no longer looked at Zhuxi.
I only heard the footsteps going away little by little until there was no sound at all.
The palace returned to silence
As if nothing had happened
Then the palace door was opened again and Danzhen walked in.
"My Lady, Master Buddha has left."
Lin Junxue said lightly, "Hmm"
Expression unchanged
Danzhen sighed and put the ginseng soup aside.
"My lady, I can see that you are reluctant to part with Master Fozi. If that is the case, hey..."
Danzhen is also the one who knows best about investigating Zhuxi's identity.
When she first found out, she was also shocked.
Who would have thought that the world-famous Buddhist saint would be the feared regent of the Northern Wei Dynasty?
Two people who have nothing in common turned out to be the same person.
If I tell this to others, I'm afraid everyone will think I'm crazy and won't believe it at all.
But this is the fact
In the past, Danzhen would have considered the relationship between the Lin family and the Northern Wei Dynasty.
But now, as long as the queen is well, nothing else matters.
So what if he is the regent of Northern Wei?
It is really not easy for Your Majesty to get someone's love and attention.
She saw all the kindness that Master Buddha showed to the Empress.
Lin Junxue took the ginseng soup, took a sip, and lowered her eyes.
"Five years. I have five years at most. Once my father and brother return to the court, the emperor will certainly take action against the Lin family. The burden of the Lin family will be on me, and my sacrifice this time will only earn me a few years of exclusive favor. The emperor's promise to me is like a mirage. If I cannot complete the plan before the Lin family army returns to Kyoto in five years, then my father and brother will die, and the result for the Sun family will be the same."
"If that's the case, why should we give him hope in vain? He has been in great danger for entering the palace time and time again. There is no need to get involved in things that have no results. Whether it's the Holy Son of Buddhism, the Regent of the Northern Wei Dynasty, or my identity as the Queen, there is no result for both of us. Love between men and women is not suitable for me."
Lin Junxue sees the matter with Zhuxi very clearly
She admitted that she liked Zhuxi and had feelings for her.
However, what matters most to her now is not love, but protecting the Lin family.
In the next few years, she needs to concentrate. She cannot guarantee that what she has planned will succeed.
If it fails, my life will be lost, and it will only add to my sadness.
Therefore, it is a good thing for both her and Zhuxi to end the relationship tonight.
Dan Zhen said, "Your Majesty must be reluctant to leave. Just now, when Master Buddha left, he gave me a bottle of rare golden wound medicine. It is the best. I have seen it. If you use it for a month, the scar on your chest will definitely disappear. Nothing will be left. Master Buddha is really thoughtful."
Lin Junxue's eyes fell on the porcelain bottle in Danzhen's hand. She was stunned for a moment, then she spoke.
"Use it."
In the suburbs of Kyoto, under the watery moonlight, in a quiet bamboo forest
Zhuxi stood quietly.
He was dressed in black, looking as mysterious and solemn as a ghost in the night.
The wind blew gently, blowing his clothes and hair.
But it could not break the silence and solemnity of the moment.
The moonlight shone onto him through the gaps in the bamboo leaves, outlining his tall and slender figure and adding a touch of coolness.
The sound of insects chirping around
His gaze was as deep as a pool of water.
Behind him, a man also dressed in black kneeled down
"My Lord, according to reports from the other side, the emperor seems to want to make a truce with Xie State. The Lin family army is unstoppable and powerful like a tiger. In the past two years, you have ordered the army to garrison the border, but you have never taken the initiative. The officials in the court have complained about it, but they dare not express it because of the majesty of the master. The emperor wants to ask your opinion, is it war or peace? It all depends on the master's opinion."
Northern Wei Dynasty
The emperor always asks Zhuxi, the regent, what he thinks.
"Tell him to keep the troops stationed at the border, no need to withdraw, no need to make peace or fight, just drag it out."
In one sentence, the situation at the border between Northern Wei and Xie State in the next few years was determined.
This is the absolute power of the Regent.
Zhuxi knew that she must have some plan, and it was all for the Lin family.
She needs time to protect the Lin family, and as long as the Northern Wei army does not withdraw from the border
Xie Yu still needs the Lin family to guard the border, so they can't move for a while.
Doesn't he care about what's going on in the world?
He just wants her wish to come true
The Dark Guard continues
"Master, there is one more thing. The emperor said that you should return to the court as soon as possible. You have not appeared in the court for many days, and some ministers have other thoughts."
