Counting the time, five days have passed since entering the manor, but Qing Huan still hasn't seen the owner of the manor, Leng Jue, but sees Her Royal Highness every day.
Her Royal Highness the Princess is an extremely beautiful and weak woman. She always waits for Leng Jue's return and waits by the door every day, but Leng Jue hasn't come back for five consecutive days, which makes her very sad. Sitting there weeping.
From this point of view, the princess seems to be a good person, but Qing Huan has seen it with her own eyes. One day, Her Highness the Princess sat by the door and wept alone, waiting heartbroken but to no avail. She kept crying and crying, and the housekeeper came back and forth several times but never stepped forward to admonish or comfort her. At first, Qing Huan thought that Her Highness the Princess had no status in this family, but after thinking about it, she probably wasn't, because from the day she came in, the housekeeper had repeatedly told her not to make the Princess angry. Still high above the hostess.
No matter what feelings the admiral has for her, as a noble princess, her status cannot be shaken.
Originally, Qing Huan only learned about the princess from Mei Ye and other channels such as TV news. The former once said that the reason why Song Xing came to Mei Se was the princess' handwriting. Thinking about it this way, the princess could never be a white lotus. Qing Huan didn't even bother to watch the praises and praises of her in TV and newspapers.
This is a country with a constitutional monarchy, so is there any mainstream media that dares to say that the princess is not
That day, she was wiping a vase in the living room as ordered by the housekeeper, when she turned her head and saw a maid hired with her walking towards the princess.
Qing Huan didn't speak, just watched from a few steps away. The maid was there to comfort the princess, who was weeping every day, waiting sadly for her lover to come home. The maid looks to be about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with an ordinary appearance, but a kind heart. Qing Huan saw it with her own eyes, she just kindly comforted the princess by saying, "The general must have something important to do, otherwise the princess will not be left alone at home", just such a sentence, but she didn't know where the princess's x-point was poked, and she immediately killed her. Someone came in and dragged the maid down!
After a severe beating, the maid was thrown out of the manor. Even if you are a princess, you can't take human life lightly, otherwise the maid's life will be gone at this moment.
To this the princess said of course: "What she said displeased me." So she wanted to punish her.
Qing Huan thought, this kind of innocent cruelty makes people shudder. Because she was born as a princess, she is nobler than everyone else, and everyone else has to satisfy her and serve her, so even if she doesn't understand anything, she still knows that anyone who makes her unhappy can be solved—because she is Princess, she has the ability and the qualifications.
She is born different from those ordinary people, which is why she fell in love with Leng Jue. The more indifferent Leng Jue is to her, the more the princess is obsessed with him. This is a love affair that shakes M, and Qing Huan said that she doesn't understand it very well.
She didn't enter the manor to be a maid. Song Xing still had the memories of Leng Jue in his mind. After careful analysis, Qing Huan thought that Leng Jue might not like her. They were even married, but the strange thing is that, knowing that his wife disappeared after betraying, Leng Jue not only did not look for her, but treated everything as if nothing had happened, and even married the princess as his son-in-law.
What does he want? Qing Huan thought, this is already obvious. For an ambitious hero, no matter how attractive a beauty is, it is not as attractive as power. Being with Song Xing might be very happy, but it doesn't help him at all. But if he marries the princess, his status will only be even better!
Qing Huan knew that the Federal Empire seemed to be peaceful, but it was actually in a civil war. The emperor wanted to ban the existence of the parliament, and some progressive people in the parliament proposed the idea of progressing the constitutional monarchy into a democratic republic. That is to say—the existence of imperial power is banned. From then on, this country is no longer called the Federal Empire, but the Federal Republic.
That is to say, the two parties are evenly matched, so at this time, whoever wins the support of the general Leng Jue will win. But the question is, does Leng Jue want to continue to be an aristocrat, or do he want the citizens of this country to live a democratic and fair life
From then on, there will be no distinction between ranks and ranks, there will be no distinction between commoners and nobles, everyone is equal, everyone can rely on their own ability to stand out, and hereditary titles will soon cease to exist. It can be said that the latter is for Leng Jue. It's not that fancy.
This can also explain why he chose to marry the princess. His Majesty the King has only three daughters, and the little princess is his favorite. He married Leng Jue, the jewel in his palm, maybe he was making a promise: you stand by my side, and when I die, the throne will be yours.
Leng Jue was born noble and enjoyed all the privileges that nobles can only have, so it is not surprising that he chose to stand on the side of the imperial power, isn't it
Qing Huan felt that even if Leng Jue knew where Song Xing was, and even knew who framed Song Xing and who tortured and humiliated him, he would not save Song Xing. everything.
Who is Lengjue? He is not a commoner like Song Xing, but a hereditary nobleman, and even a powerful general! If he was determined to protect Song Xing, how could he give others a chance to hurt her
No matter what, Qing Huan felt that the statement that Leng Jue "had no knowledge" of what happened to Song Xing was untenable, it couldn't be justified at all, it was all lies.
Poor Song Xing couldn't survive anymore, he would rather jump off the Wangchuan River and suffer a hundred years of torture than come back and be a person for five years. A hundred years in the world, how old is the Wangchuan River? That was an immeasurable amount of time, and for Song Xingxing, the pain was a thousand times more painful.
Or maybe, she didn't have the courage to come back and support herself to live for another five years because she had a vague premonition that Leng Jue was not angry because of her "betrayal", but because he chose to abandon her early in the beginning. She didn't dare to face this reality, so she simply didn't come back, deceiving herself.
Song woke her up, wanting an answer, but he knew what the answer was in his heart.
Just when Qing Huan was in a trance, she suddenly heard Her Royal Highness's soft and joyful voice: "You are back!"
When she looked back, she saw Her Royal Highness lifted the hem of the tutu skirt, trotted all the way, rushed to the path and threw herself into the arms of the man. Because the distance was a bit far, the naked eyes couldn't see clearly what the general looked like, who fascinated Song Xing, Her Highness the Princess, and 90% of the women in the empire.
At this time, the butler quickly ordered: "Hurry up and serve tea!"
Qing Huan responded, and when she brought out the tea from the kitchen, she happened to see Her Royal Highness happily holding Leng Jue's hand and sitting on the sofa.
She put the tea on the table in front of them, then bowed and stepped back, scrutinizing Leng Jue from the corner of her eye.
Being popular among thousands of young girls in the empire, Leng Jue is naturally very good-looking. He is dressed in a strict military uniform, which makes him look a little more abstinent. There is almost no emotion in those black eyes, which are always shining coldly. — This is a man who never lets go of his goal. For his purpose, he will sacrifice everything, even his own life, and he will not cherish it.
Compared with the princess's confusion and fascination, Leng Jue is indifferent and alienated, it doesn't look like he is facing his wife. But even though he was so indifferent, the princess didn't complain at all. Instead, she snuggled into his arms with a blushing face and obsessive eyes. It could be seen that she really, really loved Lengjue so much that she could do all the bad things for him. The ego kind. Qing Huan thought, if Leng Jue asked her to kill the king in order to marry him, Her Royal Highness would not hesitate for a moment.
Qing Huan didn't care what the couple did next. After finishing work at night, she returned to the servant's room. Because there are many houses in the manor, the maids live in small single rooms. Although the area is not large, they are Everyone has their own space so they don't bother each other.
Qing Huan sat in front of the mirror and took off the disguise on her face. She is very confident in her makeup skills. Leng Jue and Song Xing haven't seen each other for five years, and Song Xing was only twenty years old five years ago. Once a woman changes, she can be a different person. In the past two years, she has been recuperating her body, and there have been earth-shaking changes from the inside to the outside.
She removed the camouflage from her face, wiped away the marks on her face with a soft wet towel, and then looked around in the mirror. Song Xing is very beautiful, even compared with the princess, he is not inferior, but it is a pity that he comes from an ordinary background, and his education is not high, but he has a pure heart. Such kindness and innocence have never appeared in Leng Jue's world. So Qing Huan boldly concluded that he really liked Song Xing. But this kind of liking is just a short-term infatuation. It is good to have Song Xing, but he will not die without Song Xing, not to mention that if Song Xing is sacrificed, he will get more benefits.
Only Song Xing would believe him. How can the love of politicians be believed? They are usually used to lying, and they are full of sweet words. If they want to live a good life, protecting themselves is the most important thing.
If you treat others with heart and soul, others will only think you are stupid, and then they will take advantage of you mercilessly, and stab a knife fiercely in the heart that you offered with both hands. For him, it is just a momentary thing, but it takes you a lifetime to heal your wounds, and maybe you won't be able to heal for a lifetime.
Qing Huan avoids the camera and targets Leng Jue's study. The study room is an important place for the military, and it is usually heavily guarded. Only when His Highness the General is at home, they will relax a little bit. Maybe they all think that no one will be bold enough to attack at night, and with His Highness the General here, what little thief can't catch it
The door was ajar and there were only two gendarmes guarding it. Qing Huan was wearing a maid outfit, holding a tray in her hand, and smiled at the two gendarmes: "Brothers, the housekeeper asked me to bring tea."
It was already late at night, and only the housekeeper and the servants on shift were there, so the military police stepped aside without taking precautions. After Qing Huan entered, she held the tray with one hand, and gently closed the door with the other. The sound insulation effect of the manor is very good, even if there is a bomb inside, you can't feel anything outside.
Leng Jue was looking down at the document. He was left-handed, and he was writing thousands of names on the document with a gold pen. He didn't care when he heard the footsteps, he thought it was the princess: "Didn't I say I'll go back to my room later, who asked you to come?"
Qing Huan said lightly, "No one asked me to come."
Her voice was different from that of Her Royal Highness, Leng Jue immediately looked up, but saw a strange yet familiar face. He squinted his eyes and looked at Qing Huan, unable to confirm who she was for a moment.
"Have you forgotten me?" Qing Huan showed a lonely expression, walked to his table, put the tray on the table, and poured him a cup of tea: "Your Highness is such a noble person who forgets things, at least you and I will do it too." After a while of husband and wife, why do you have a new person and forget the old one, don't you remember me?"
"...Xiao Xing?" Leng Jue was surprised.
Qing Huan smiled: "It's me, long time no see."
Leng Jue still couldn't believe it. Song Xing in his memory is a little sun, full of energy every day, always facing the world with the most beautiful smile. But this Song Xing in front of me, what is she like? Although he laughed, he became restrained and unpredictable.
"Don't worry, I just came here to ask you a few things." Qing Huan noticed the change of Leng Juewei's expression, and felt that this man might like Song Xing more than she guessed. "Do you love me?"
She originally wanted to ask something else, but the cold expression made her change her mind.
Leng Jue didn't speak, and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "No."
But those few seconds told Qing Huan that he was duplicity. It's not that Qing Huan has never seen such a man, she is exactly the same as Jing Shaoyou, she loves each other, but for other things, she chooses to sacrifice the one she loves without hesitation, and then lives with pain and regret - all nonsense!
Without her, Jing Shaoyou is still a high-ranking official with power in the court and the public, still dressed in brocade, jade and silk, with countless beauties in his arms. Leng Jue lost Song Xing, and was still His Royal Highness the hereditary aristocrat, still respected and feared by countless people, holding the military power in his hand, and married His Royal Highness the Princess as his wife.
Have they suffered? Yes, in the dead of night, you will probably groan and think of a clean girl who once loved him deeply, and her heart is full of him. That is the most complete and sincere love.
But dawn, cold, unfeeling, they are still them, nothing will change.
"You don't love me? If you don't love me, how can you marry me?" Qing Huan walked behind Leng Jue. In the afternoon, she noticed that when Her Royal Highness threw herself into Leng Jue's arms, he quickly pushed her away. Sitting on the sofa, Leng Jue seemed to have a hard time accepting the intimate actions of Her Highness the Princess. But right now, when Song Xing's body was pressed against his back, he was completely relaxed, without any stiffness or rejection.
Sometimes the body is more honest than the mouth.
"Your body still remembers me." Qing Huan whispered in his ear. "Remember who I am, remember how close we used to be. Your Royal Highness, after you drive me away, will you think of me in the dead of night? Can Her Royal Highness satisfy you, huh?"
Leng Jue grabbed her hand and said in a low voice, "Xiao Xing."
"Tell me, do you know that the so-called 'betrayal' is Her Royal Highness who framed me? You drove me away five years ago, did you already know that the princess was going to attack me? Do you also know? You also know what kind of life I lived in Meishi for three years, huh? That is, in these two years, I escaped from Meishi, and you started to send people to find me." When Qing Huan was in the slums, she noticed that there were two groups of people looking for her! It must be Master Mei, but she still has the videotape of Master Mei in her hand. That man is extremely arrogant, and it is absolutely impossible for him to take such a risk and tell others to arrest her together. Not to mention the inextricable connection between Master Mei and the princess, so Qing Huan concluded that the other group belonged to General Leng Jue.
He was looking for her too.
But what's even more ridiculous is that he has seen all of Song Xing's life in the past three years, but he didn't save her.
It was Leng Jue who appeared in Song Xing's life, it was Leng Jue who kept Song Xing by his side, it was Leng Jue who offered to marry Song Xing, all of this was Leng Jue's initiative. Without him, Song Xing might just be a simple, ordinary but safe and happy commoner now.
Ask Song Xing, what kind of life does she want to live
Qing Huan thinks it is the latter. "There are some men in this world who only hurt women, and you are such a man."
"Xiao Xing..." Leng Jue held Qing Huan's hand, "When my plan is successful, I will go to Mei Se and bring you back, but at the moment I can't do that, because the king and the council are staring at me, you Can you understand? Forgive me."
Qing Huan suddenly found it funny: "I don't understand, and I don't understand. Don't think that I don't know what you are planning. From the beginning when you were with me, you just wanted to marry a commoner wife to lower the parliament. And the king's suspicion and suspicion of you. What does it mean for a nobleman to marry a commoner regardless of his status? They will think you are a fool who doesn't love the country but only loves beautiful women, but who knows that power is the most important thing in your heart ?I am a cover, a shield, when you feel that the fire is almost over, you will not protect me in front of the princess. So, bang!" Qing Huan shrugged. "That's the end of my role, it's over, and your great career is about to start. You have vividly portrayed a man who was betrayed by his lover, and even the princess was deceived by you. On the one hand, because of marrying you, she I feel happy, but on the other hand, because of your indifference, I think you never forget me, and five years ago, the scene of my betrayal was created by her. You used her guilty conscience and admiration to achieve your goal step by step. And I, You have to bear all the anger of the princess. Every time she gives in to you, I will be tortured and my life will be a little bit worse. You know it. Even if you don’t know it, you can guess it. But you let it happen .”
So, don't say whether you love her or not, and don't say that you will save Song Xing. Even if you erase all your memories and start over, how to choose, the man will still choose.
Qing Huan spoke slowly, looking at Leng Jue's tightly pursed lips and flickering eyes, she knew that she was right. It should be really fortunate that Song Xing jumped off the Wangchuan River, otherwise, if she knew the truth of the matter, what kind of blow would it be
Qing Huan had already forgotten how she felt when she was alive, but she knew that it would definitely not be so happy.
People live for only a few decades, why waste it for someone who keeps saying they love you but can't cherish you? Time is precious.
Leng Jue couldn't deny it, because what Qing Huan said was the truth. It's not that he never thought about how Song Xing would be treated. What is the place of Charm, who are the people in Charm, and the class differences between commoners and nobles, he understands all these very well!
Of course, he is reluctant to part with Song Xing, he likes Song Xing, and if possible, he is willing to keep Song Xing by his side forever. But the problem is, when love and power can't have both, if he chooses the latter, he can't regret it!
Even regretting is useless! Because everything has gone in the direction he expected, he can only go on, but Leng Jue thought that when he succeeds, he will naturally bring Song Xing with him, and at that time, he will still love her , even because there is no concern and purpose, you will love deeper.
Song Xing is very clear about how much he loves him. He feels that there is still time, and he feels that it will not be too late.
But Qing Huan knew that it was too late. If Song Xing hadn't come to Naihe Bridge, but had continued to live in this world, then five years later, she would have died in the endless hell of gang rape. When Lengjue's major event has been accomplished, she turns around to find Song Xing, she has already become a wolf dog's lunch!
Then what? Leng Jue will probably be sad for a few days, and then he can become the emperor of the empire, marry a beautiful and gentle queen, have some children, and become famous through the ages.
Song Xing can only turn into a puddle of mud, at most it can be used as fertilizer for flowers, that's all.
How long can Leng feel sad? He and Song Xing have been separated for so many years, even without Song Xing, he wouldn't die, he became king, what else can't he get? There can be women who are more beautiful than Song Xing, and there can be women who are more innocent than Song Xing. He can find countless "Song Xing", and he can even play affectionately. people remember the past.
Then every year on Song Xing's death day, he can go to the grave - if Song Xing still has some flesh and blood left, sit on the grave and drink a glass of wine, shed a few tears, and say something about regret... When he is old, he can still talk to him The children and grandchildren said, ah, I once loved a woman, she is so good, but I am sorry for her, if there is an afterlife, I hope to spend a lifetime with her...
nonsense.
It's all bullshit.
Song Xing died long ago, no matter how good your life is, you are the king, and you have power over the world, so what? You miss her, can she crawl out of the ground and hug you? Or, she should be grateful for this ridiculous so-called "love", and remember it even after she dies. Loving you will never change. You enjoy wealth and glory, and your children and grandchildren are full.
Why not eat shit
