“It’s true that there shouldn’t be those things between you and me, my highness . But I just did it on behalf of seventy soldiers who died on battlefield . Please accept it,” uttered Zhao Jingting and kowtowed to Lu Zhishan for three times . ”

Lu Zhishan didn’t say anything else and just accepted his respect . As Zhao Jingting finished, Lu Zhishan quickly picked him up . He also felt so sorry when he saw his red eyed, deep canthus wrinkles and the white hair on his temples . “Jingting, the past years must be hard for you,” said Lu Zhishan, sighing .

“Yong Zhan, you should have suffered much more than me as everyone treats you so coldly,” replied Zhao Jingting in a hoa.r.s.e voice . ”

“It’s cold outside . Please come inside to have a talk,” said Du Heng .

Those words reminded Zhao Jingting of Lu Zhishan’s leg . He quickly said to Lu Zhishan, “Yes . Let’s go inside to talk . You can’t stay in such a cold place . ”

“Okay . We can hardly meet each other . I really have lots things to talk with you . ” Lu Zhishan smiled and stepped into the mansion with Du Heng holding his arm .

Zhao Jingting walked after him and looked at his gammy leg, which gave him a lot pain . He immediately rubbed his face and followed Lu Zhishan into the study .

The study was pretty warm because of two basins of charcoal fire . Lu Zhishan and Zhao Jingting took off their capes and sat on the soft couch . Meanwhile, Du Heng came in and made two cups of tea for them . Then he took a soft cus.h.i.+on and put it under Lu Zhishan’s leg, after which he withdrew so that Lu Zhishan could talk to Zhao Jingting alone .

“Yongzhan, Haven’t . . . Haven’t your leg recovered?” Zhao Jingting couldn’t help asking, “Didn’t the doctor say that it will be normal after one or two years? Why it’s still like this?”

“It almost recovers now . But it will be painful in the cold days of winter . After all, both the sinews and bones are injured . It’s not the worst result as it has recovered a lot . ” Lu Zhishan tried to comfort him .

Zhao Jingting gritted his teeth and said, “I learned that you were framed last year and even knelt before Taihe Palace for an hour . You should be pretty well now if that didn’t happen . ”

“It’s true . But you know perfectly what kind of person I am, Jingting . I will pay them back for what they have done for me tenfold and no one can get a chance to get away with it . So you don’t need to be so angry . ”Lu Zhishan smiled .

But Zhao Jingting couldn’t calm him down in a short time . “I had imagined their result the moment I heard the news long before . But my highness, that’s not enough! You should be a great hero, fighting on battlefields and protecting the whole nation . Your health is much more important than anything else . Even their lives can’t be compared with it!”

“Jingting, you don’t change a bit these years . No wonder no one wants to stand out and say something for you . ” Lu Zhishan drank the tea and then said slowly, “Jingting, I think you should learn to control yourself . ”

“Yongzhan, we are old friends with each other . I have been in the troops for almost thirty years since I joined the army at the age of fourteen . I have gotten used to express my inner feelings directly and I’m just born this way . I can’t make use of words or even make a plot . Yongzhan, to be honest, I not only hate to see these things happen, but also can’t learn the way . ” Zhao Jingting looked a bit hopeless and then continued his words, “I will be out of temper when I see their faces . Who knows whether it was due to them that Dali breaks into pieces and ordinary people’s life become so miserable?”
