Chapter 137 She Lost

The mess in the palace had already been cleaned up by the troops led by Yanyu and Manhuang. Now the sky outside looked like it was covered with a layer of ink and sprinkled with a few pearl-like stars. The clouds were soft and the moonlight was bright. It was already late at night.

The lights in the hospital were on, and a few people were still holding on.

Jun Xian had fallen asleep on the edge of the bed, holding Jun Lin's hand. Ming He was sitting at the table, dozing off with his head supported by one hand.

The three injured soldiers, Xingzhi, Manhuang and Yunyu, also fell asleep on the table with their heads tilted and their arms resting on their heads.

The palace was in turmoil, and this time everyone was exhausted.

But no one left here because Jun Lin hadn't woken up yet.

In fact, the forced abdication happened yesterday. Jun Lin slept for a whole day and night this time. When he opened his eyes with trembling eyelashes, there was a moment of confusion in his eyes.

She felt someone holding her hand, and when she turned her head, she saw it was her uncle.

Looking past him, I saw other people.

Without Manchuan, the old man's bones cannot withstand the torture, not to mention that he has a family and a happy wife and children.

Jun Lin said nothing, but just looked at them silently, his dry and pale lips slightly raised in a soft arc.

She wanted to pull her hand away, sit up and get a glass of water, but her stomach was aching from hunger.

He had hardly had a drop of water for three days, and had rushed back from the battlefield like a madman without closing his eyes. Even now that he had woken up, he felt limp all over.

As soon as she moved, Jun Yan woke up. The man's sleepy eyes quickly cleared up. Jun Lin said softly: "But did I disturb you?"

Jun Yan's voice was trembling with joy: "No, do you want to sit up? I'll help you."

Hearing the voices, all the light sleepers woke up.

That's good.

Everyone gathered around in a panic.

Jun Xian helped her sit up, Ming He held a pillow behind her waist, Yun Yu poured her a cup of tea, Man Huang hurried to prepare the meal, and Xing Zhi frantically pulled at his clothes to close his collar.

But it won't close.

The enemy had cut off a large piece of cloth covering her chest, so it could not be closed at all, and the small, fair and tight chest was exposed nakedly.

Then he was horrified to find that Emperor Jing was looking at him, and he was so frightened that his body stiffened instantly.

“I can explain!!!”

Jun Lin's order could not be disobeyed: "Come here."

He walked towards her with his head down and a sad look on his face like a wilted flower, causing everyone in the room to suppress their laughter.

It's over!

Someone is bound to die this time!

Xingzhi was already thinking about his suicide note.

"You're not cold."

As the voice with a teasing smile sounded, he suddenly felt a soft touch on his hand. He paused and stupidly moved his gaze away from Jun Lin's face to their clasped hands.

In their eyes, Emperor Jing's hands looked slender and small. At this moment, he was wrapping his hands around Xingzhi's big hands. The endless internal force made Jun Lin's hands warm, and also kept Xingzhi warm.

The young man's chill was gone, but before he could come to his senses, he stammered, "I'm not cold..."

Jun Lin glanced at him with a half-smile: "Aren't you cold with your collar open in the middle of winter?"

Xingzhi stopped talking.

He didn't even draw his sword and put it across his neck!

He even kept him warm himself!

Something seemed to be gradually collapsing in the young man's eyes, and his gaze slowly became more genuine and gentle.

The feeling of having her hold my hand is actually not bad.

Everyone: “!!!”

Emperor Jing is a big fool, are you too?

Xingzhi, you pervert, let go of your hands!

The fox, who was walking comfortably, squinted his eyes in satisfaction.

After a long while, he heard the man say sincerely, "Thank you."

He was stunned for just a moment, then he curled the corners of his lips even more happily.

Xingzhi knew what she was talking about.

Perhaps Junlin didn't expect that Xingzhi, who had little relationship with her, would get hurt in order to buy time for Minghe and the others.

She said this thank you sincerely.

Xingzhi couldn't help but hold her hands in his own: "Forcing the emperor to abdicate is wrong in the first place. Besides, the Empress Dowager has implicated too many people and committed too many sins. Helping you is just a moral choice."

Jun Lin smiled and said, "It's rare to see you so serious."

Everyone: "..."

If you want to talk, talk nicely. Don't pretend that we didn't see you shaking His Majesty's hand with your backhand and taking the opportunity to pinch the soft flesh on the palm of his hand.

Xingzhi grinned at them proudly.

If you don't take advantage of a good deal, you'll miss it.

Only a fool wouldn’t take it!

Jun Lin took in everyone's looks, and then smiled softly at them: "Thank you all, too."

Everyone suddenly felt embarrassed. It was the duty of subjects to serve their king.

They are not worthy of your Majesty's thanks.

Jun Lin took the tea of ​​perfect temperature brought by Yun Yu and drank it for two days to moisten his throat. He then ate the meal that was brought by Ban Huang at a small table placed on the bed.

They just watched from the side, watching the dark circles under her eyes fade, watching the bloodshot in her eyes disappear, watching her shake off her fatigue and regain her spirit, watching her eat her meal slowly and leisurely, and everyone's heart suddenly became very calm.

It seems that as long as I look at her like this, all will be well and the years will be peaceful.

Junlin asked, "Have you eaten it?"

Everyone smiled and said, "We've eaten."

Looking at their ferocious appearance, she laughed very softly.

What could possibly be hidden from Emperor Jing's eyes?

How could she eat anything? They stayed by her side all the time, and at most she just drank some water.

Jun Lin saw the black iron heavy sword on Man Huang's back again. She was surprised: "The army is back?"

Man Huang nodded honestly: "Yes, General Zou led his troops back to Beijing not long ago."

Yan Yu said softly: "It was Jingguo who won. Master defeated the ministers."

Jun Lin paused, put down the chopsticks in his hand and shook his head: "No, I lost."

They had clearly successfully repelled the enemy, and the nobles and the Vietnamese army had fled in panic, so how could they have lost?

Amid the puzzled looks of the crowd, Jun Lin's tone became gloomy: "Jin Ge and the others are missing. The King of Yue is targeting them this time, so I lost."

They really took the person back.

In fact, the result this time cannot be considered a loss for Junlin, it should be a draw.

She discovered it early, and fought desperately to break out of the siege. She was one step ahead of the army and rode her horse non-stop to return to Jing State. However, the Empress Dowager colluded with the Yue army, allowing the Yue army to enter the palace easily without any effort and saving a lot of time.

He easily got close to Jin Ge and the others and took them away.

If it weren't for the Empress Dowager's mishap, perhaps Jun Lin would have been able to catch up.

But there is no if.

If you lose, you lose.

There's nothing to deny.

…

The next day.

The people of Jing State sang and danced in celebration to celebrate the fact that Emperor Jing personally led the army to defeat the Yue army and defend the country.

But at the same time there was also a lot of cursing.

Everyone knew that the Empress Dowager had no regard for human ethics. Not only did she collude with the Vietnamese army to sell out the country, she also took the initiative to seize power and wanted to sit on the throne of the emperor.

While people despised her, they were also relieved that the Empress Dowager died in the war, as the saying goes, swords have no mercy. But they were also sad because Emperor Jing's favorite uncle also died in the rebellion.

Jingguo fell into grief again.

His Majesty issued three new orders after returning from this victory.

Article 1: Provide warm hospitality to the kind-hearted people from Snowland who are in Jing Country.

Article 2: All forces that colluded with the Empress Dowager to force the abdication will be held accountable.

Article 3: All the farmland and property owned by the princes and nobles who participated in the rebellion will be given to the people.
