"He—" Of course he just came to inform me that there is an autumn banquet in the Houtian Palace to remind me to attend it! I answered in my heart.
"Doesn't he... he doesn't need it either?" The scholar's eyes were fixed on me tightly, and a deep blue gleamed in his black eyes.
"Scholar! What are you doing?" Feeling annoyed by him, I violently stretched out my hand to push him away. Then quickly raised his foot, from in front of him, walked to the table and chairs in the hall.
This scholar, today is really strange!
"Heh!" The front was suddenly empty, the scholar was taken aback for a moment, and a sneer flashed in his eyes.
He slowly turned around and looked at me who had avoided him.
"Book, scholar! Are you okay?" Looking at the scholar who was not quite right, I was a little worried, but I didn't dare to approach it at will.
"Hahaha..." He shrugged his shoulders, his mouth let out a chuckle.
I looked at his back, and only felt that it revealed a kind of endless loneliness and sorrow.
He stretched out his hand to cover his face, unable to see whether he was crying or laughing.
If he is crying, why should he cry? And if he is laughing, then why does the laughter feel so desolate and sad
"Tomorrow... Are you really going to enter the palace with him?" The scholar who had laughed enough suddenly turned his head back and looked at me.
I trembled and stared at the scholar in astonishment. I don't understand how he knew my arrangement with Murong Yu so clearly before the marriage contract was announced to the world.
"The queen is invited, she wants to go!" If I am alone, no one can force me if I don't want to go.
But at this time, I am not only representing me, but also representing the entire Ye family!
"Even if you know... You will die if you go, do you want to go too?" The scholar turned around, his eyes fixed on me responsibly. In the eyes, there is no longer any warmth and smile.
I looked at the scholar with some surprise, not knowing where he heard the news.
"Why..." Why would you die if you go? I looked at the scholar without understanding.
The scholar walked slowly in front of me and stretched out his hand towards me. I was shocked, and hurriedly backed up two steps, pulling the distance between each other to a distance beyond his reach.
His hands froze in the air, his eyes fixed on me for a long while.
I also noticed that my reaction seems to be too big, but the instinct of this body reaction is completely beyond the scope of my thinking control.
"Um... scholar! If you have something... why don't you sit down and speak slowly! I have something to ask you too!" I smiled awkwardly, turned and walked to the wooden table, and pointed my finger at the wooden stool beside me.
The scholar dropped his hands weakly, his eyes fixed on me without moving for a long time.
To hide the embarrassment, I hurriedly reached for the teapot on the wooden table. Just about to reach out and turn the water cup upside down, one hand gently covered my hand and took the teapot.
I looked up in astonishment and looked at the scholar who had come to the table.
He held the teapot in his right hand, took two teacups in his left hand and placed them on the table, and poured water into the teacups one by one.
"Scholar! You—"
"Your complexion is not so good... Is it because you have not slept well recently?" He seemed to be chatting with me and interrupted my words.
Reaching out to take the tea in his hand, I nodded: "Well! Indeed... it's not so good!"
"Since it's not good, why force yourself?" He poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip from his mouth.
I looked at the tea in my hand, the clear tea and the white porcelain cup, the two seemed completely different and completely integrated.
"This world... How can you say that you don't want to, you can not face it!" Although I didn't want to say this to him, I couldn't help but complain.
If so, why don't I want to stay in that world and be by Xuan Cang's side!
But reality is reality, how can it not happen if I don't like it
"Have you already thought about it?" The scholar's voice was very soft, but the knuckles of his fingers holding the teacup were green.
I shook my head, pursing my mouth, and fell silent.
It's one thing to think about it, but it's another thing to go to the palace tomorrow. After thinking about it, I raised my eyes and looked at the scholar and said, "Then you...are you willing to help?"
"What?" The scholar was taken aback for a moment, as if unexpectedly, I would suddenly ask him for help.
Staring at him tightly, he put the teacup in his hand on the tea table. I swallowed my saliva and leaned forward slightly, "Scholar! Have you... ever picked up a heart? It beats... There is a faint red glow at night..."
The scholar's eyes suddenly widened, and his fingers shrank again. Because of the sudden fluctuation in his heart, the teacup in his hand also rippled on the surface of the water.
"You... Are you looking for this thing?" He looked at me in astonishment.
"Yes! Tell me, where is the heart?" He didn't need to answer, his response had already explained everything. I got up from the stool joyfully and worried, and stretched out my hand to tightly tug at the scholar's robe.
His complexion changed slightly, and his eyes flickered. "I… "
"I know you have seen it, you took it away! Don't lie to me... I know you must know where it is!" I suppressed the excitement in my heart, and although I tried to suppress it, my voice still rose high.
"That thing... I have used it! What do you want it for?" The scholar frowned and looked at me.
"Used... Used up..." All the burst of interest immediately calmed down at this moment. I looked at him disappointedly, took the hand of his robe, and couldn't help but slip off slowly.
Seeing me lost in despair, he asked, "Is that thing... important to you?"
"Yeah! Very important... Very important... Really... Very important!" I murmured in reply, repeating like a repeater in my mouth.
The scholar's eyes darkened slightly, and suddenly he looked up at me as if thinking of something.
But at this moment, I didn't have the strength to look at him again.
If it is really used up as he said, then... should I ask him who used it? Should I find that person and ask him to return Xuan Cang's heart
I was entangled. I was afraid that I would not be able to go back to Xuan Cang's side.
The scholar looked at my desperate look, and his brows tightened together again. He asked: "That's not an ordinary thing, what are you looking for?"
"It..." It is the heart of my father-in-law, so I will get it back anyway. I was silent in my heart, but I didn't tell the scholar truthfully.
Even if I said it, so what? Do you want him to take back the heart that has been used up again
