Chapter 363 Song Shi is not that bad
Zhuang Shihan rolled her eyes at Lin Tingfeng, turned around and walked back, not taking his words seriously at all.
Lin Tingfeng took a few quick steps, grabbed her wrist and said, "Eunuch De's original surname was Li, and his given name was De. This conflicted with the reign title set by Your Majesty, and should have been avoided. However, Your Majesty gave him the first honor.
Do you know why this is so?"
Zhuang Shihan couldn't break free, so she turned around and looked at him, her eyes full of impatience, "What do you want to say?"
Sensing her impatience, Lin Tingfeng's expression grew uglier, and he lowered his voice to explain, "Eunuch De and Your Majesty have known each other since their youth. Because of an accident that injured his foundation, he had to enter the palace as a eunuch."
"so what?"
Without waiting for Lin Tingfeng to say anything else, Zhuang Shihan sneered and asked, "You don't really think that a mere eunuch like him can be so close to the emperor, do you?"
In the politics of imperial power, only a fool would believe in the so-called youthful friendship.
To put it bluntly, they just keep him as a toy.
"Prince Jin has been raised by His Majesty's side since he was young. He has grown up under his watch. Their bond of friendship is extraordinary."
Zhuang Shihan raised an eyebrow in disdain, "How can a eunuch like you think of any feelings?"
Looking at her sarcastic face, Lin Tingfeng was dazed for a moment.
Is the person in front of him the same person who stood on the parade ground, with a smile on his face and told him that everyone is equal and there is no distinction between high and low?
He suddenly felt uncertain.
Zhuang Shihan was already upset, and when she met Lin Tingfeng's clearly questioning eyes, she lost her patience and pulled her hand back fiercely.
She warned coldly: "You'd better not look at me like that."
"Shihan, you..." Lin Tingfeng opened his mouth, only to feel that the person in front of him was too unfamiliar.
He couldn't even tell whether she had changed over time or he had never really understood her from the beginning.
Catching the disappointment in his eyes, Zhuang Shihan couldn't help but want to laugh.
But she thought again and swallowed her sarcasm back, instead accusing him, "You knew that Xi Lin and I were not on good terms, yet you deliberately had him come to Huichun Hall to call me. Could it be that you were deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
"Xi Lin?" Lin Tingfeng's face darkened and he cursed, "These bastards in the General's Mansion are secretly disobeying their orders!"
Zhuang Shihan's expression also changed, and she followed up his words angrily, "These people are really going too far. Even if you don't have military power now, you are still a third-rank general appointed by His Majesty himself, and your official position is far higher than theirs."
She became more and more excited as she spoke, her heart truly boiling with anger. "I don't know how Xu Xiao led his troops to become so arrogant.
I want to ask if Liu is the one who has the final say in Border Town now!"
Seeing that she was actually going to ask for an explanation for him, Lin Tingfeng felt his heart warm. He quickly took her hand and said, "Calm down. It's just a small matter. It's not worth getting yourself hurt."
"A small matter?" Zhuang Shihan laughed angrily.
She really wanted to chop open his head and see what was inside.
His woman was wronged, but instead of rushing out like a real man to vent her anger, he magnanimously advised her to calm down.
Why didn't he go and persuade Xi Lin to stop acting like a dog all day long, rushing over to bite her for no reason?
Why didn't she realize before that he was such a coward?
Noticing that her expression was not right, Lin Tingfeng knew that she was angry, and analyzed the current situation with her in a gentle voice.
"Although Xu Xiao has officially severed ties with the Xu family for many years, in reality, even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected. Otherwise, with his temper, how could he have climbed to the position of a general protecting the country?"
Zhuang Shihan asked, "Did your father tell you this too?"
Lin Tingfeng's face suddenly darkened, "Why are you mentioning my dad for no reason?"
He frowned and said unhappily, "I know you have always misunderstood my father, but he is my father after all, and he will be your father-in-law in the future.
You should respect him more, both emotionally and logically."
"Respect?" Zhuang Shihan smiled, her eyes subtle as she said, "This thing is earned by myself, not given by others."
Lin Tingfeng's eyes flickered as he thought of something, and he changed the subject, saying, "Eunuch De traveled thousands of miles, surely for His Royal Highness Prince Jin, but just now, he didn't even mention a single word."
Zhuang Shihan lowered her eyes to look at her fingertips and said nonchalantly, "The person is dead, what's there to say?"
"As a member of the royal family, I must see the person alive or the body dead."
Lin Tingfeng said with a sullen face, "His Royal Highness Prince Jin has always been lucky. This story won't be over until we see his body."
Zhuang Shihan chuckled, "So what even if we find it?"
She seemed to have thought of something, shook her head and sighed, "You people are just too old-fashioned. When a person dies, he is just a handful of ashes, yet you still insist on returning to your roots.
Is it worth using manpower and material resources, and even sacrificing a few lives, for this?"
Although it was not the first time that Lin Tingfeng heard such unorthodox words from her, he was still shocked.
He is the son of the current emperor, and also the god of war of their Da'an, the faith of the people of the whole country.
His body not only represents the face of the royal family, but also represents the dignity of their Da'an.
If he were allowed to wander outside, not only would the emperor and all the civil and military officials disapprove, even the common people would certainly not sit idly by and watch.
Not to mention, he himself is a general of Da'an.
If anyone wants to trample on the country's reputation, he will be the first to disagree.
Noticing the change in his expression, Zhuang Shihan asked directly, "Do you think I'm too cold-blooded and selfish?"
Lin Tingfeng moved his lips: "No."
Regardless of whether this statement could convince Zhuang Shihan, he couldn't even fool himself.
During this period, the frequency of their quarrels increased.
Sometimes they would even quarrel while eating.
This is not the day Lin Tingfeng wanted.
It is also very different from the happy life he had promised Zhuang Shihan.
Sometimes he even asked himself, is this really what he wants?
But every time, there is no answer.
Knowing that Zhuang Shihan had a bad temper, Lin Tingfeng didn't want to upset her over this matter, so he softened his voice and said, "Speaking in anger again. I know you are kind-hearted by nature, it's just a pity."
"You mean King Jin?"
Zhuang Shihan nodded thoughtfully and said, "He had the face of the most handsome man in the capital, a great figure, and top-tier combat power. It's a shame for him to die like this."
Every word and sentence comes from the heart.
Lin Tingfeng's face turned pale.
It sounds like she likes it?
As if not noticing the change in his expression, Zhuang Shihan continued to herself, "Song Yanxi eats quite well. I really don't know what Prince Jin sees in her."
Lin Tingfeng lowered his eyes, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, "Song Shi, she is not that bad."
Zhuang Shihan's expression suddenly changed. "What do you mean?"
She asked coldly, "Mr. Lin, don't tell me you regret it now."
Thinking of the missing divorce agreement, Lin Tingfeng felt extremely regretful.
But he pretended to be indifferent and said calmly, "She and I are strangers now. I was just speaking fairly. Why are you angry?"
"Fair words?" Zhuang Shihan sneered and asked directly, "Can you swear to heaven that you have never had any improper thoughts about Song Yanxi?"
She paused, then added, "If you break this oath, your entire family will be struck by lightning and die miserably."
"Lin Tingfeng, do you dare?"
