The haze in Lu Jinshu's heart was completely cleared at this moment. He felt his eyes burning. The next moment, Ling Shumo gently wiped away his tears with her palm, "We were talking so well, why are you crying?"
Lu Jinshu choked up and threw himself into Ling Shumo's arms. The tears in his eyes wet Ling Shumo's clothes. With Ling Shumo's comfort, his tears not only did not stop, but flowed more and more.
Ling Shumo heard Lu Jinshu say in a vague voice, "I don't know how many lifetimes of good fortune I have accumulated to be able to marry someone as good as Your Highness in this life. Even if I die now, I will have no regrets in this life."
Ling Shumo scolded him in a low voice with dissatisfaction, "What are you talking about life and death? You're just saying nonsense that I don't want to hear."
Lu Jinshu ignored Ling Shumo's rebuke. He wrapped his arms around Ling Shumo's waist, his face almost buried in her chest, which made his voice even more unclear. "I am not talking nonsense. I never dared to dream that Your Highness would treat me so well. As long as I know that Your Highness has a corner in his heart reserved for me, I will die without regrets."
He had been neglected by his mother and father since childhood, and had already made up his mind to live like this for the rest of his life. Yet, Her Highness suddenly made him such a solemn promise. She said she wanted him to give birth to her eldest daughter. Did this mean that, in Her Highness's heart, he was more important than any other man in the Eastern Palace?
Lu Jinshu thought about this and asked it out loud. Then he heard Ling Shumo's soft voice with a smile, "I never make promises easily, but once I've promised you, it will never change in this life. I like you very much and am willing to give you my shoulder to lean on. You can tell me if you are happy or unhappy about anything."
Ling Shumo gently pushed Lu Jinshu out of her arms. She looked him straight in the eyes, her voice a bit more serious than before, "Lu Jinshu, has anyone ever told you that you have a really twisted personality? No matter what grievances you have, you refuse to speak directly. You have to ask indirectly and remind me in a roundabout way. A problem that can be solved with just one sentence, but you insist on making it go round and round. Honestly, you are the most cunning man I have ever met."
Lu Jinshu felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Ling Shumo.
His character is gentle and kind, so naturally he cannot speak in a harsh and sarcastic manner, and he cannot do anything that is harmful to others.
Lu Jinshu lowered his eyes slightly, but Ling Shumo reached out and lifted his chin, forcing him to look at her. "I know you have your own ideas. You like to control everything from behind the scenes, watching the people you hate fight each other. Sometimes, you feel like you have no sense of participation outside the play, so you have to enter the play to play the red cop who mediates the fight. When a good show ends, everyone else is covered in dust, but you can get away with it cleanly.
Lu Jinshu, there's nothing wrong with what you did, and I'm not blaming you for anything. What I want to say is, don't use your tricks against me."
Ling Shumo released the hand that was pinching Lu Jinshu's chin, and her voice became softer than ever before. "Don't use your tricks on me, because there's no need. If you hate something or someone, you can tell me clearly. I will help you deal with him, and your hands will still be clean, without being stained with dirt and blood."
Lu Jinshu's already disordered heart was beating even more violently.
Ling Shumo looked towards the flowers and shrubs in the distance. She sighed softly, her tone particularly lamenting, "Sitting in the position of the Crown Princess, I have to flatter all kinds of people every day. Returning to the East Palace, I still have to watch you men fight openly and secretly. An ordinary sentence has to be twisted and hidden with eight hundred meanings. I don't want to play tricks with the person next to me, and I can't relax for a moment. Lu Jinshu, do you understand how I feel?"
