The man looked up, his eyes filled with helplessness as he recalled Lin Xiao's outburst of temper a few days ago. Lin Xiao stood before him, speaking angrily.
If he were to marry He Yunshang, he would make her regret it. He only liked her; what was wrong with that?
He was the one who made him ascend the throne and become the new emperor; he was the one who made him marry and have children; and he was the one who said we were just friends and brothers, and that he had a woman he liked.
Fu Lingtian shook off the chaotic thoughts in his mind and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
But more than anything, there is helplessness, pain, and an inexplicable connection.
"Master, the Madam has arrived. Would you like to see her?"
Li Quanzi wiped the sweat from his brow, looking worriedly at the stunned man before him. He was someone who had served the general for many years.
It was known that he and the Emperor had a good relationship, but only a few people knew this. The Emperor loved his master, but the master treated the Emperor like a brother.
As a result, both of them fell into a state of agony, which only they, the onlookers, knew.
"Li Quanzi, there's no need to say anything more. I will serve the general. You may leave."
A woman with a graceful figure appeared in the mansion, swaying her proud, slender waist. She smiled slightly, her peach-blossom eyes believing herself to be incredibly alluring.
She placed her hand on the maid's hand and was led inside by the maid, exuding an air of nobility and elegance, making her a good lady in the eyes of the common people.
But in Fu Lingtian's eyes, she was just a woman who only knew how to scheme. However, only she was capable of recognizing when to yield to circumstances.
"Oh, Madam, what brings you here? Didn't you say you were going to accompany the Empress Dowager to admire the moon?"
The woman gracefully raised her head, stretched out her arms towards the sky, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery.
Her face lit up with joy as she touched her ear and turned to look at her man.
"General, what are you saying? I just wanted to keep you company. Don't you welcome me?"
Wen Jinghao and He Yunshang are both ladies from prominent families of the same generation, but their identities are different: one is a general's wife waiting to be married, and the other is an empress waiting to be married.
The two entered the various residences one after the other, but their minds were no longer aligned. They had once been sisters, but now they were merely companions bound together for mutual benefit.
Wen Jinghao picked up the calligraphy brush on the table with her delicate hands. The brush still carried the scent of Fu Lingtian's writing.
Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as she slowly approached the pensive man. "Ling Tian, didn't you say you liked me the most? You seem like you don't want to see me."
No, you're overthinking it.
Fu Lingtian withdrew his hand, patted the dust off his robes, and pressed Wen Jinghao's shoulder to make her sit in the seat he had just been sitting in.
He went out to admire the moon, actually wanting to avoid her questioning gaze.
Since the Emperor's wedding today, he has felt somewhat uneasy, and for some reason, he is a little afraid of seeing Lin Xiao tomorrow.
They were sworn brothers, brothers who had shed blood together. Back then, I even teased him about his delicate skin, saying people might think he was attracted to men.
Fu Lingtian slowly placed the lantern in his hand into the water, letting it float away.
But he really didn't expect that Lin Xiao would like him. He had always only treated him as his younger brother.
He had no other choice but to use this method to bring him back, so that the world would not descend into chaos!
