"You, what are you doing?" Changping was taken aback by Shen Shao's actions, he stood up on the spot, his little happy face was full of doubts, and he frowned. He tilted his head halfway, looked at Shen Shao with a strange expression, and called out, "Go and help Lord Shen up."
Then he said to Shen Shao, "If it's for what happened yesterday, you don't have to do this."
She is usually a little stingy and a little arrogant. She even thought of not marrying him because she didn't see Shen Shao stepping down in front of her brother and sister-in-law yesterday.
But that's just the nature of a child, and it'll be fine after a while.
like today-
Even if Shen Shao didn't come, she wouldn't really not marry him, she was just a little unhappy.
Gu Wuyou was also taken aback.
Although she and Shen Shao haven't been with Shen Shao for a few times, she also knows what kind of temperament he is, and seeing his pale face and dark blue eyes, obviously he hasn't slept all night... She didn't know why, but she was a little flustered, and she always felt that it was Something big happened.
He also said something in his mouth, "Uncle, get up quickly, why can't you get up and talk about it?"
while saying,
While going to tell Bai Lu, "Hurry up and help uncle up."
Bai Lu replied softly, but her face was actually not very good. As early as the moment Shen Shao knelt down, she thought of what happened that night, and she was so anxious that she was afraid that Mr. Shen would say something that could not be salvaged. , she walked very fast.
But she...
Still unable to stop Shen Shao.
The man's slightly hoarse and tired voice sounded in the yard, "Princess, I'm sorry, I can't marry you."
Bai Lu paused and turned pale, while Gu Wuyou and Chang Ping behind her also turned pale, and before Chang Ping could speak, Gu Wuyou took the lead and said, "Shen Shao, what do you mean?! "
But he didn't even bother to call out a title.
After she finished speaking, she went to see Changping, and she saw that her face was pale. She was worried that she would not be able to bear the blow, so she quickly held her arm, and said to Shen Shao with a cold face, "This is a marriage gifted by my uncle personally. With the approval of the clan and courtiers, do you know what the consequences of your words will be?"
"… I know."
Shen Shao said hoarsely, "No matter what the consequences are, I'm willing to bear it."
"you… !!!"
Gu Wuyou was so angry that without waiting for her to say anything, Chang Ping held her hand and stopped her.
"Why?" Changping's hands trembled a little. She looked at the man kneeling on the ground. Even if he hadn't slept all night, his appearance was still as good-looking as before, just like the beginning, which made her heart beat.
As if she was afraid of falling, she held Gu Wuyou's hand tightly, her voice a little tight, "Yes, why am I not doing well enough?"
"still… "
"You are fine."
Shen Shao's back was straight, and his white clothes had been stained with mud, but he knelt there like a green bamboo that would not fall, "I'm not worthy of you." He didn't hide it, because he hadn't slept all night, and it was a little red. Looking at Changping, he said to her in a hoarse voice, "I already have someone in my heart that I can't let go of. I can't give you very much love. You deserve a better person."
Like a thunderbolt from the ground.
Chang Ping looked at Shen Shao blankly, his lips parted, he couldn't pronounce a single syllable, and finally he uttered a very light sentence, "What do you say?"
Two hours later.
In the Weiyang Palace, which belonged to Queen Wang, Gu Wuyou sat aside and looked at Changping who was crying non-stop with his aunt in his arms. It felt like a knife had been cut in his heart, and the pain was terrible.
She was a child and grew up with Changping.
Compared with her, Chang Ping has been spoiled by his parents since childhood, and his elder brother is hurting him. He has what he wants, let alone cry. There is hardly a day without a smile on that bright little face.
But today-
Her tears were like broken pearls.
I was able to forcibly endure it in the carriage just now, and since I entered the Weiyang Palace and saw my aunt, I couldn't stop.
The girl's cry lingered in this magnificent Weiyang Palace. Gu Wuyou didn't know how to persuade her, but Queen Wang gave her a distracted look, while stroking Changping's hair, she said softly to her: " Man Man, you go back first."
"Auntie..."
Gu Wuyou looked at Changping with worry.
Queen Wang smiled, her voice still as gentle as before, "It's alright, let's go."
Gu Wuyou had no choice but to retire first. Before leaving, he took a special look at Changping. Seeing that her once bright little face was now covered with tears, she felt pity and hatred in her heart. She left the palace gate. She asked Bai Lu, "Where's Shen Shao?"
Bai Lu hurriedly said, "I'm still kneeling in front of His Majesty's Palace."
Hearing the crying coming from behind, Gu Wuyou gritted his teeth, his face turned cold, and he walked towards the imperial palace with his sleeves. discussing.
"Is this Lord Shen crazy?"
"It's not crazy to actually come to ask Your Majesty to take back the imperial decree of the marriage, that is the only princess in our Great Zhou!"
"His Majesty made a big fire just now, and the tea cups in the hall were thrown three or four, and even Eunuch De'an suffered a meal. This Lord Shen is really crazy, he clearly has a bright future, but... "
Before the words were finished, they saw Gu Wuyou with a cold face. The expressions of the group of people changed in an instant. They all bowed down and called her respectfully, "County Lord." Then they didn't wait for Gu Wuyou to speak. , and ran away with a wink.
Gu Wuyou ignored them. She pursed her lips and looked at Shen Shao who was kneeling in front of the palace gate.
The sun is the worst at this season, especially since it was close to noon, she could even see the man's clothes were soaked wet, tightly clinging to his body, and the two hours of exposure under the sun made him never bend. The body became a little wobbly.
But he still held on and didn't fall.
De'an came out from the inside, looked at Shen Shao like this, sighed, and came over to persuade in a low voice: "Sir Shen, you should go back, Your Majesty said you don't want to see you... You are His Majesty's most favored minister, and so is His Majesty. I really like you, so I will point you to the most beloved Princess Changping."
"When you leave this palace gate, you will forget what you said before, and cut off your past events and your mind."
"Wait a few more months, and you will do our best to be the concubine of our Da Zhou."
"This way..." Before De'an finished speaking, Shen Shao raised his face, his long eyelashes were stained with sweat, and his eyes were a little unclear, but his words were still as stubborn as before, "Eunuch De'an, I can't marry her."
"you!"
De'an threw the whisk away, and was also angry: "Why are you so stubborn! You have been working outside for the past few years, and you have made so many achievements that you have finally returned to the capital, and the Master Han of the Metropolitan Police will soon retire. Now, after a while, you will be the head of the Metropolitan Court, tell me, is it worth it for a woman?!"
"worth."
There was no hesitation in the man's voice. He looked at De'an, or passed over him, looked at the thick palace gate, choked his throat, and repeated: "...It's worth it."
Hearing these two words, Gu Wuyou suddenly couldn't take the steps under his feet.
She originally came aggressively because she wanted to teach Shen Shao a good lesson for Changping, and then ask him what kind of woman made him do such a jerk, but now that she heard these words, she I don't want to go any more.
She didn't know who the unforgettable woman in Shen Shao's heart was, but she knew...
In his whole life, Chang Ping could never compare to that person's status in Shen Shao's heart.
"Master..."
Bai Lu looked at her worriedly.
Gu Wuyou didn't speak, she just took a deep look at Shen Shao's figure, and then walked out without looking back.
After getting on the carriage, Bai Lu wanted to say something, but she didn't know how to say it. She walked to the palace gate without a word, but the carriage stopped. Bai Lu frowned. It is Li Qinyuan.
He was dressed in strong clothes and his forehead was covered with sweat. Obviously, he had just returned from the camp in the western suburbs. Looking at Gu Wuyou, who was leaning against the carriage, pursing his lips and not speaking, he sighed in his heart and asked Bai Lu to get out of the car and accompany him. He himself got into the carriage.
When the carriage continued to slowly drive home, Li Qinyuan took Gu Wuyou's shoulders and said in a deep voice, "I already know."
Gu Wuyou didn't open his eyes.
At this time, she was really not in the mood to see Li Qinyuan, and she heard the noise of the cars and horses outside. She didn't know how long it took, then Fang pursed her lips and said in a low voice, "Did you already know that there is someone in Shen Shao's heart?" When she knew the news of the marriage, she showed such an expression.
Li Qinyuan said hoarsely, "...Yes."
"you-"
Even if she knew, but listened to him seriously, Gu Wuyou was still very angry. She opened her red eyes and stared at Li Qinyuan angrily, "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"If I know that there is someone in Shen Shao's heart, I will definitely stop Changping, and I won't..."
It didn't matter, she didn't say anything.
But in fact, early to know, late to know, is the same result.
She felt uncomfortable, couldn't help crying, and choked: "I've never seen Changping cry so sadly."
Seeing her like this, Li Qinyuan felt very uncomfortable. He sighed softly and hugged him a little tighter, "It's my fault, I thought my uncle could solve it, but I didn't expect..." In the end, it was here. step.
Gu Wuyou still couldn't help but ask, "Who is that woman?"
this time-
Li Qinyuan didn't answer immediately, he looked down at Gu Wuyou, as if he was thinking about how to speak.
Seeing him like this, Gu Wuyou thought that he was trying to hide it for Shen Shao, and became even more angry, "It's already this time, you still want to hide it from me?"
Li Qinyuan looked at her and sighed.
Putting her hand on her head, she whispered, "Yes... your second sister."
At this time, the Weiyang Palace.
Chang Ping seemed to be tired from crying, buried in Empress Wang's arms and burping, his eyes still glowing red.
"Don't cry?" Queen Wang wiped the tears from her face with a handkerchief in her hand. She didn't hear Changping's answer. She didn't say anything. I've cried enough, now tell me, what do you want?"
"Are you going to marry Shen Shao?"
"want!"
Chang Ping seemed to be ruthless, gritted his teeth and said: "Everyone knows that we are going to get married, and now Shen Shao wants the father and the emperor to withdraw the imperial edict, why? Can't others laugh at me?"
"I don't care who Shen Shao likes, anyway, he can only marry me. If he dares to do this to me, I will trap him for the rest of my life!"
Even if we can only be a grudge couple in the future...
She will not let Shen Shao go! ! !
no way!
Queen Wang listened to her quietly after she finished speaking, her expression did not change at all. After she finished speaking, she asked, "Wuxia, is this what you want?"
Flawless is her name, meaning no flaws.
She was rarely called by her name. Changping was stunned for a moment when she heard it. She looked at her mother and opened her mouth to say "yes". This is what she wanted. She was never a good-natured person. How could Da Zhou's only golden branch and jade leaf be disgraced like this
She just wanted to trap Shen Shao for the rest of her life and make him regret doing this to her!
But looking at the mother's face, she couldn't say the words in her throat that could be easily blurted out. It was as if someone had caught the syllable, and she couldn't say a single "yes".
Seeing her like this, Queen Wang finally sighed.
She didn't speak, but embraced Changping. Those delicate and flawless hands gently caressed Changping's head. Time passed, and after a long time, Queen Wang looked at the pear flowers outside the window and said: "No time, in this world, the last thing you can't get angry with is your own marriage."
"It's not worth betting your whole life for someone who doesn't love you."
…
After half an hour.
It was getting dark, Shen Shao still didn't leave, he knelt all afternoon, his lips were white, his face was ugly, and even because he knelt for too long just now, he didn't notice it, and his forehead hit the ground and a bloodstain appeared.
Now that jade-like face was covered with bloodstains, it looked extremely tragic.
The servants in front of the palace were a little worried when they saw him like this, and there were some who had been favored by him and wanted to help a group, but His Majesty didn't say anything, and even Eunuch De'an didn't come out since he entered, how could they dare? He could only watch Shen Shao kneeling over there.
Changping came here at this time.
The lanterns in front of the palace gate have all been lanterns in the palm of their hands. Changping, dressed in a gorgeous palace costume, walked step by step from a distance.
She usually finds it troublesome and rarely wears such clothes, but at this time, she is wearing a formal princess uniform, wearing three dragons and three phoenix hairpins, and letting the wide skirts drag on the ground.
Prestige is also dazzling.
When the servants in front of the palace saw her, they were stunned for a while, and then rushed over to greet her, "Princess."
Shen Shao also regained his senses at this time. He knelt for a long time without eating or drinking, and he had already lost his head. But when he heard this, he turned his head quickly and looked at Changping, the blood on his face. It had dried up long ago, and the thick eyelashes were also stained, making his vision a little blurry.
Seeing him like this, Chang Ping couldn't help but squeeze his hands hidden in his sleeves.
But it was only for a brief moment, she let go again, looked down at him, looked at him with cold eyes, and said something colder than the wind of winter, "Shen Shao, Ben Gong is the princess of Da Zhou, and Ben Gong wants to marry. You must have only Ben Gong in your heart, and you are not worthy to make Ben Gong sad."
She looked at Shen Shao for a while, and then threw the Fengzhi in her hand on him, "Take this thing, get away, remember, it was Ben Gong who didn't want you, if you dare to appear in front of Ben Gong again in the future , Ben Gong will definitely kill you!"
After Changping finished speaking, he turned and left.
With steady footsteps and great manners, letting the gorgeous skirt drag on the ground, the carefree little princess seemed to have grown up all of a sudden.
No one saw the tears in her eyes.
The palace servants who accompanied her behind her all followed her quietly, holding their breaths, no one dared to speak. When he walked out of the yard and walked to a deserted place, Changping said, "You go back first."
The palace servants looked at each other and finally responded softly.
When they all left, Chang Ping finally couldn't help crying, she ran forward with red eyes, she thought, she should still like Shen Shao a little, otherwise why would her heart hurt so much
She regretted that she shouldn't have let him go so easily.
Still want to ask who is the person he likes? Where is she better than others? The thoughts in her mind were about to explode, and because of this, she didn't notice the person walking around the corner.
"thump-"
Changping was hit and fell to the ground, followed by more than a dozen zigzags falling to the ground, and a man's muffled sound.
"Are you OK?"
The gentle voice of the man rang in the night.
Changping likes good colors, likes a good voice, and loves a jade-like appearance and voice. If it was in the past, she would have raised her eyes to look at it, but today, she suffered such a big blow and was seen by others. Tragic situation, where can we take care of these
Regardless of whether he bumped into someone first, he raised his head with red eyes.
Seeing his slightly startled expression, she touched her face, which was really wet. She gritted her teeth and threatened: "If you dare to say it, I will, I will..." She seemed to be thinking about how to threaten, and finally said fiercely. He said, "I'll kill you!"
Then, regardless of what he thought, he got up from the ground and ran away.
Jing Yubai looked at her running away figure, stunned for a moment, then shook his head amusingly, he didn't say anything, bent down to pick up the documents, and when he was about to leave, he saw a dragon and phoenix hairpin lying alone on the ground.
Think of the gossip I heard earlier.
He turned his head and glanced at the direction the man ran away from, and picked it up.
I also felt that it was really pitiful for Pearl to be dusty, so I reached out and gently brushed off the dust on it.
