Chapter 57: Bickering
. :
Qianhe Liyou handed the affairs of the medical school over to Long Xizhao, and all preparatory activities began. Yun Tailing had already participated in the preparatory activities and had obtained an imperial edict, allowing him to go out of the palace to do things at any time without reporting to anyone, which gave him great authority.
Because of the medical school, Yun Tailing and Long Xizhao had more contact. Long Xizhao already had a lot of good feelings for this concubine who seemed peaceful but was actually tough and knowledgeable. After this contact, she was even more amazed at his medical achievements. Moreover, Yun Tailing was gentle, approachable, smart and tactful but persistent. He was even more impressive in dealing with many problems. Long Xizhao couldn't help but begin to admire the emperor's vision. At the beginning, she was a little hesitant about the emperor's appointment. Not only was he a man, but he was also a concubine in the harem. Could he really do such an important thing? Now it seems that the emperor is worthy of being the emperor and his vision is indeed unique.
However, there are many advantages, but also some disadvantages that are a headache. For example, the man in front of her who was staring at her, for some reason, every time she was seen by him, she felt a chill all over her body, as if she was being stared at by a poisonous snake.
"Mr. Liujin, could you please stop staring at me?" Long Xizhao really couldn't stand it anymore. Because of Yun Tailing's participation, Feng Xue, who was good friends with Yun Tailing, also participated in it, and Liujin would naturally follow. At this time, they were discussing the address of the medical school, but Liujin kept staring at Long Xizhao, which made Long Xizhao feel chilly.
It couldn't be blamed on her being timid. It was because those gilded eyes were so strange. The hint of gold in them seemed so unreal. Plus, his overly charming appearance was really a disaster.
However, no matter how harmful they are, the men here are all men in the palace, so they are naturally the emperor's men. He dare not have any ideas.
"If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?" Liujin's voice is also very unique, with a hint of coldness that gives people the illusion of being in two completely different worlds: ice and fire.
Long Xizhao had seen this gilded figure several times, but he felt it was weird and uncomfortable every time. As for Master Feng Xue beside him, he was much gentler. Although he did not look like an ordinary person with his white hair and transparent eyes, his soft words revealed a spiritual aura that made people feel quite comfortable.
"Mr. Liujin, if I have done anything to offend you, you can just tell me directly." Ignoring Liujin's rude question, Long Xizhao asked gracefully.
"You didn't provoke me." Liujin said while shaking his head, looking very sure. After all, Lord Long had only spoken a few words to him, so how could he have provoke him?
"Is Young Master Liujin dissatisfied with me in some way?" Liujin looked at her with a very defensive look, and it was the kind of guardedness that was not concealed at all. She couldn't pretend not to see it even if she wanted to.
When Liu Jin heard Long Xizhao's question, he looked at Feng Xue who was standing beside him. Feng Xue just raised her eyebrows and smiled, as if it had nothing to do with him. This made Liu Jin snort in annoyance, "Of course I am dissatisfied, but I won't tell you."
Long Xizhao said to herself that she had a good temper and would not argue with children.
"Don't be angry, Lord Long. Xiao Jin is just mad at me." Feng Xue came out to smooth things over and smiled apologetically at Long Xizhao.
Liujin snorted and looked at Long Xizhao with dissatisfaction: "Lord Long, Xiaoling and Xiaoxue are both the emperor's people. Although the emperor is not that good, you should not be wishful thinking, do you understand?"
"Xiao Jin," Feng Xue said in a low voice, with a hint of embarrassment on her face. She explained to Long Xizhao, "Don't listen to Xiao Jin's nonsense." Then she turned around and scolded Xiao Jin, "Xiao Jin, how many times have I told you that Lord Long is a gentleman, don't talk nonsense."
"Hehe, so that's how it is. It seems you have misunderstood, Young Master Liujin. All of you gentlemen are the emperor's people. How dare I have any illusions? If it is just this matter, Young Master Liujin don't have to be on guard against me." She is not risking her life. How dare she have the illusion of touching the emperor's people? She hasn't even looked at him for even a second. Don't wrongly accuse her. If the emperor hears what she said, it will be troublesome.
"You can't know a person's heart by looking at his face." Xiao Jin didn't appreciate it and still looked at Long Xizhao with a defensive look. He didn't want to trust others easily, especially women. He had suffered from credulity before, and he would never trust anyone easily again.
The more trust is tested in practice, the more precious it becomes.
"Do you need me to swear, Mr. Gilded?"
"Even an oath can't be trusted, but I'm not too worried." Liu Jin looked as if nothing he said could be trusted, and it was obvious that he didn't take Long Xizhao's character seriously.
"Why is that?" He was staring at her, but why did he say he wasn't worried? Is it because she has no charm?
"Of course Xiao Ling and Xiao Xue only love the emperor wholeheartedly, and you have no place at all. Even if you like them, it's just wishful thinking. They won't pay any attention to you."
"Yes, yes, everyone knows how the two young masters feel about the emperor. But you, Young Master Liujin, if you like the emperor, you should take a look. The emperor seems to like young masters who are more sensible." Long Xizhao meant well, but who knew that she would attract an angry look before she finished speaking.
"Who said I like that person? I don't like her. Only they are stupid enough to like her." There was a lot of unwillingness in Liujin's tone, and it seemed that he had some opinions about Qianhe Liyou, which aroused Long Xizhao's interest.
"If you can't eat grapes, you say they're sour. Sigh, people nowadays are too dishonest." Since it was about the emperor, she didn't dare to ask directly, but she thought that Liujin, who was straightforward, would definitely refute.
As expected, Liujin said unconvincedly: "You are the one who is not honest and you look like a fox. No woman is good. I will not be stupid enough to like anyone."
"That's enough, Xiao Jin. Stop messing around. If you don't want to stay here, go out and play. Don't interfere with our business." Feng Xue finally couldn't help but frown. How could these emotional matters be discussed in such an occasion? He knew that Lord Long was as shrewd as a fox, but he still foolishly jumped into the trap. He must be stupid.
"Xiaoxue, don't be angry, I won't say anything." Liujin was very afraid that Fengxue would be angry. When he saw Fengxue's stern face, he immediately sat up straight and looked serious, not wanting to say anything.
Feng Xue looked at Long Xizhao with a smile on her face, "Lord Long, let's continue the discussion."
"Yeah, okay."
Then everyone started discussing again, but Yun Tailing seemed a little distracted. In addition to the business, he was also thinking about what Liujin had said just now. Liujin said that he liked the emperor. Did he really like the emperor? He had always thought that it was not the case, but now he was a little confused.
