Outside the window is the dark night, and the watchman knocks on the clapper.
"The sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of fire candles, the sky is dry and things are dry, be careful of fire candles..."
The moon quietly hid behind the clouds, Cui Wang's face was hidden by the candlelight, Zheng Wan couldn't see clearly for a moment, but he could only see his straight nose bridge and his thin lips tightly pursed.
I heard that people with thin lips are the most fickle, but what Zheng Wan could recall was mostly the temperature of those lips, which were cold and took a long time to warm up.
"Zheng Wan, you can go."
Cui Wang suddenly lost interest in continuing to listen to her defense, and felt that everything was meaningless. The cuffs fluttered, and the door of the study creaked open.
"please."
"No, I'm not leaving."
Zheng Wan suddenly had a feeling that if he left now, he might not be able to step into the National Teacher's Mansion again in the future.
She walked a few steps quickly, hugged Cui Wang, wrapped her arms tightly around him, shook her head and said:
"Cui Wang, I'm not leaving."
She looked up, her face was full of tears, "Cui Wang, don't drive me away, I won't leave, I am sincere to you, you believe me..."
"I really mean it."
Zheng Wan murmured.
"sincere?"
Cui Wang stood where he was, feeling that this mortal night was no different, it was still cold when it was supposed to be cold, but it was too filthy after all. "Where does the sincerity come from?"
"... Before Lisi Tang, you saved me from falling into the water, and on the stone boat, you played the piano for me. At that time, you were not a national teacher, but I have already admired you. Later, you became a national teacher," Zheng Wan paused. Dun, "I am happy that you are the national teacher, because the person I like is the person I am going to please; I also hate that you are the national teacher, because from now on, I will mix and use your joy." and please."
"But you are still in such a dangerous situation and still insist on taking me off the cliff and saving me from the wolves... You are so kind, how can you make me unhappy and indifferent?"
Zheng Wan lowered her voice, "At that time, I was sincere."
"So when I was exhausted from killing wolves, did you come to sumo with sincerity?"
Cui Wang asked lightly.
"Yes! Of course!"
There was an eagerness in her eyes that she didn't realize, as if a child was trying to prove herself to a respected adult, "I just wanted to pick you up at that time. Cui Wang, my arm is broken and it hurts."
"Zheng Wan, don't lie to me."
Cui Wang broke off her fingers one by one, but Zheng Wan grabbed her and quickly clasped them back. She shook her head, tears streaming down her face, "Cui Wang, trust me, I'm not lying."
"I really wanted to save you then."
She said stubbornly.
"The teleportation array rushed forward to save me from the pain of the random arrows piercing my body?"
"Speak to this thing."
But with a flick of the sleeve, a familiar blue plant fell to the ground, and it grew in the wind. After a while, it grew to the height of a person, stretched and stretched, until finally a vermilion fruit grew on the top.
"explain!"
Zheng Wan was dumbfounded and couldn't speak for a while.
She thought it was a miraculous thing, and Cui Wang used it last time, but she didn't use it again, maybe it was gone, but she didn't expect that he still had another one, and he still used it on her at this critical moment.
"Grandma Ember, Granny Ember, help me quickly."
Granny Jin came out slowly, seeing this, she only said:
"This son's heart is surging, and with the power of my soul, I may hide it."
"explain."
Just when Zheng Wan opened her mouth to go back, she saw Cui Wang raising her sleeve and popping out a purple thunder gang, the thunder gang suddenly went away, scorching the sapphire and green plants, and the vermilion fruit instantly turned into fly ash.
"Cui Wang! I haven't answered yet."
"I'll answer for you."
Cui Wang said slowly, "You gambled with your life just to plant a Gu on me when my defenses were wide open. You are really scheming and decisive."
Zheng Wan's heart was shocked, he actually knew? !
When did he know
She raised her head, her eyes were blurred with tears, "Cui Wang, Cui Wang... I just love you so much, I did everything and risked my life just to make you like me even a little , I don't want others to share with you..."
"...Cui Wang, believe me..." Zheng Wan stood on tiptoe, grabbed his neck with both hands, pressed her face to his face, and then touched the corners of his lips, cheeks, and eyes with her lips, "Cui Wang, I admire you, love you and respect you, I can't live without you..."
Tears wet Cui Wang's front, and he could feel that the place where the two touched was wet.
Her tears kept rolling down, wet the corners of his mouth, his cheeks, and finally got into his skirt. She kissed him haphazardly, her whole body was trembling slightly, desperate and frightened, like a moose that was in a desperate situation in front of a hunter, trying to impress him with the last tiny thing.
Cui Wang pushed her away, his heart was sore and hot soaked by her tears, but he felt sober like never before.
"Walk."
"No," Zheng Wan shook her head, her arms wrapped around his neck even tighter, she buried her face in his shoulder blades, and said stubbornly, "I won't go."
But suddenly, the person she was clinging to disappeared.
Looking up, she saw Cui Wang standing a foot away from her, "Cui Wang!"
Zheng Wan moved forward subconsciously, but she was blocked by a sword. It was the first time that Zheng Wan saw Cui Wang's sword so clearly.
The cold mang was hesitating around her neck, as if it was about to cut off her fragile neck at any time.
"One more step forward, kill."
Zheng Wan didn't believe it, she shook her head:
"Cui Wang, you are not willing to kill me."
"You can try."
"Kill me, and you will die."
Zheng Wan bit her lip, tears falling down.
Jianhong's light illuminated every detail of the room, and also clearly illuminated the sadness, pain, and despair on her face. Cui Wang closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, there was no wave in the ancient well:
"You can give it a try."
Zheng Wan looked into his eyes, and he became the same as when we first met.
She knelt in front of the gate of Anju, it was snowing heavily, he passed by with a bamboo ink umbrella, when he accidentally glanced at her, she was just an ant, his curiosity about ants was limited to being spanked by her when he was young.
But then it was obviously different.
Although she remained expressionless most of the time, she could clearly feel that something was slowly melting away, and he gradually gained warmth, becoming like a human being.
Occasionally smile at her.
But at this time, he withdrew his specialness to her, and she became a prostrate ant again.
His eyes were piercing, like a sharp knife, Zheng Wan clearly understood that what Cui Wang said was true.
The young Sword Lord who didn't care about everything except the sword came back. He said he would kill her, but he really wanted to kill her. He didn't even care about his own life.
The opportunity to see the poor dagger has arrived.
Zheng Wan knew that no amount of tears would help, so she wiped her face clean:
"Cui Wang, do you still remember that you promised me a birthday condition before?"
"Remember."
"You, the Cui family, promised a thousand pieces of gold, and there is no one who breaks promises, right?"
"yes."
Zheng Wan spread her hands forward:
"Then I want the moisturizing essence in your hand."
"Is this the thing?"
Cui Wang flicked his sleeves, grabbed it out of thin air, and a white jade bottle appeared in his hand. Not to mention the contents inside, the body of the bottle is extremely gorgeous, a whole piece of transparent suet white jade, full of hope. If there is light.
He pulled out the bottle cap, and a drop ten times larger than a teardrop fell into his palm.
The drop of water was actually solidified, falling into Cui Wang's palm, it would not melt for a long time, Zheng Wan looked at it, and felt that there was no drop of water in the world that could be purer, softer, and more dazzling than it fan.
She reaches out.
But Cui Wang, who was still expressionless just now, suddenly clenched his fists, and amidst Grandma Jin's screams, the moisturizing essence changed from condensed beads to dripping water, and fell from his fingers to the ground. .
"Sin! Sin!"
Grandma Ember pointed at the sky and scolded the earth.
Cui Wang spread out his palms again:
"I have no moisturizing essence in my hands."
Don't have to keep promises.
Zheng Wan looked at Cui Wang suddenly, the coldness in those eyes disappeared, only the deep sarcasm remained, as if to say, look, you have spent your whole life, but in the end, you still have nothing.
"Change it."
Zheng Wan suddenly burst into belly laughs, and then turned into crying again.
She asked with red eyes: "Cui Wang, why are you doing this? I just want to ask for the most common opportunity for you, why do you want to destroy it?"
She can no longer practice.
Cui Wang destroyed the essence of moistening water.
Cui Wang stood indifferently, without saying a word.
Zheng Wan hates him the most, as if she is an ant on the ground, he is a floating cloud in the sky, she is mud on the ground, he is the moon in the sky, her life is in vain, but he just needs to stand, Accept God's love and support for him.
"I hate you, Cui Wang!"
She grabbed the front of her chest, and it started to hurt again, "I also had a sincere heart! Cui Wang, you didn't want it, you hurt me, and you pushed me out."
"So, you played a trick on me?"
"Yes! I can only play Gu on you. You are such an iron-hearted person, what else can I do except to play Gu on you? Since we met, you have always been cautious, looking at me with a hundred times and a thousand times mirror, we Is there any other way to get close to you besides playing Gu?"
"absurd."
Cui Wang looked at her, "You are too greedy, you want to keep your family, you want to cultivate, and you want me, Zheng Wan, this world doesn't revolve around you, you want what you want, you want it If you don't get it, you will cry and make a fuss, and use all your strength."
"Yes, I know!"
Zheng Wan giggled, "I know it all too well, the world revolves around you, Cui Wang, didn't you ask me if I was sincere? No, I tell you, you are right, and I treat you wholeheartedly." It’s a calculation, there’s never been a moment of sincerity!”
"The prince is like this, so are you!"
The room fell silent.
Cui Wang suddenly felt that he was not even in the mood to waste a word, and he sent her out of the study with a flick of his sleeve, and the door closed with a "snap".
Zheng Wan was standing at the bottom of the steps in the corridor. The moonlight in the atrium made her feel chilly all over. The faint sight around her made her subconsciously straighten her back. She straightened her wrinkled skirt and walked away. go out.
"Little lady, wait for me."
Suo Dai chased after him.
The servants looked at each other in blank dismay, it seemed... Mrs. Zheng fell out of favor.
Zheng Wan returned home on the frame and had a good night's sleep. When she woke up the next day, it was already daylight.
She called for someone, but when she didn't, she lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
At this time, Suo Dai entered the door in a panic:
"Little lady! Master Guoshi has gone to the upper realm and left!"
"Leaving?" Zheng Wan tightened her hand, and quickly said nonchalantly, "It's fine to leave."
"Yes, but—"
Suo Dai hurriedly said, "Master Guoshi took the third lady of the Liu family away!"
"oh?"
Zheng Wan's expression was calm, "Wait for me to wash, I'm going to pay my respects to Auntie."
"yes."
Su Dai blessed her body, Rouge came in together, and led the little maids to serve Zheng Wan to clean teeth, rinse mouth, wash face, put on makeup, and when she was about to change clothes, Su Dai suddenly let out a "huh".
The little lady was wearing a plain white tunic, with the slanted breasts facing each other, revealing a slender and fair neck, and on her neck was a phoenix pendant "consecrated" by the Master of the State Teacher on her birthday last time.
But this Feng Pei looks different from usual.
"What's wrong?"
Zheng Wan lowered her head and found nothing unusual.
Suo Dai scratched her head, thinking about it, but she didn't think there was any difference. She continued to wait for Zheng Wanjiang to put on a new Ru skirt, which was a watery light red, and she suddenly remembered when she was putting on the silk.
She slapped her head, "Little lady, when did you add a string of beads under your phoenix?"
Zheng Wan lowered her head, and under the phoenix pendant strung with snow-white shark silk, there was a faint blue drop of water, round and round, like her favorite crystal candy.
She thought it looked a little familiar, but when she thought about it, it was quite different from what she saw yesterday. There was still a faint blue head of water in this bead.
"Grandma Ember, Granny Ember."
Zheng Wan shouted, "Look, what is this?"
"Moisturizing essence?!"
Grandma Jin's voice was so startled that her voice changed: "It's still the best blue water pill that can only be born in hundreds of thousands of years in the three thousand worlds!"
"Oh, girl, this is much, much better than the little bead yesterday. With this, you can not only open up your senses, but you can also understand all kinds of senses!"
