At the court meeting, Tanhualang refused to marry again, the emperor was furious, and the court threw him into the dungeon. The news spread throughout the capital, causing quite a stir.
Everyone felt that Tan Hualang, who didn't know how to flatter and repeatedly offended the Tian family, was doomed this time! Even?, his relatives are likely to be implicated.
Xiao Yuan was stunned when he received the news.
He did not take the Jinshi exam to become an official, so he used his family connections to find himself a job, and he was not qualified to go to court. How can I think that my own? That friend is only going to attend a court meeting, and he can make such a big event!
Although the two have not known each other for a long time, and they cannot be considered close friends, but Xiao Yuan is still willing to do his part as a friend within the scope of not endangering his own family.
Besides, since that day when he refused to marry in the Golden Luan Hall, Xiao Yuan felt that "Xie Yuan" seemed to have changed a little. The "Xie Yuan" in his impression had a mild and indifferent personality, and he definitely did not have such courage... Or, this is just Is the disguise gone, and the nature revealed? In any case, the current him makes Xiao Yuan somewhat confused. He doesn't really believe that the other party is really looking for death on purpose, without considering the consequences at all.
... If he really wanted to die on purpose, Xiao Yuan would have nothing to do with it. Otherwise, as I said before, let him eat more and eat better before he dies
Thinking in this way, Xiao Yuan ran all over the most famous restaurants, restaurants, and pastry shops in the capital, and bought a portion of all the best food. Then, with one hand and the other, he carried two big food boxes full, and went to eat. So into the prison.
—Under the circumstances that the emperor did not expressly prohibit it, it is still very simple to clear up the relationship, manage one or two, and visit individuals in the sky prison, at least much easier than saving people.
Then, at a glance, he saw the young man sitting quietly on the straw in the corner of the dungeon. He lowered his head and didn't know what he was doing. Lonely.
Xiao Yuan couldn't help but recalled the other party's high-spirited attitude not long ago, wearing a fancy dress, and sighed endlessly.
With a long sigh, he approached the bars of the cell.
"Zhishui, the past few days..." You have suffered.
The last few words have not been exclamated yet, Yuan Buwei who heard the voice raised his head to look at him, and greeted cheerfully: "Ziping is here too?"
Immediately afterwards, he smelled the sweet fragrance emanating from the air, and his eyes suddenly moved down, and landed on the food box in Xiao Yuan's left hand, and they were stuck inseparably.
"Come? You've already come? You're still so polite and considerate!"
The curvature of his lips was obviously raised a lot.
This guy, do you still have the consciousness to go to jail? He acted as if he was receiving guests at home... Xiao Yuan wanted to speak but stopped, stopped talking and wanted, and finally said: "It seems? Zhishui, you seem to be doing well."
"It's really good, but I'm too free, just to practice some small crafts." Yuan Ruo, with a calm expression, held up the things in his hand to show him, "Look, this is all the thirtieth I made up." It's just a rabbit."
I saw a rabbit made of straw squatting vividly in his palm, extremely delicate. With this degree of completion, it will be very popular if it is sold.
Squatting so happily in the sky prison, and honing a skill?... Xiao Yuan really doesn't know this time? Enjoy yourself."
What loneliness and desolation are all illusions! That point in his heart? The melancholy, all of a sudden dissipated completely, replaced by a feeling of dumbfounding.
In the next moment, Yuan Buwei coughed lightly, his eyes were still firmly glued to the food box, and he said in a slightly regretful tone: "This day is good for any prison, free board and lodging, healthy work and rest, free food and rest. Even if people disturb you, the jailers speak nicely, but the food is not good.”
Xiao Yuan really couldn't laugh or cry at this moment, so he walked in with a food box: "I brought? The cakes from Banyuezhai, the fine wine from Qingfenglou, the dishes from Baixiangju..."
After a while, bursts of fragrance wafted all over the prison, and amidst the drooling voices of other prisoners, it was not for the two of them sitting on the straw on the ground, eating vegetables and drinking, having a good time.
"Zhishui, I really admire you. Your majesty dared to refuse the marriage offer, not just once, but twice!" Xiao Yuan began to speak casually while drinking, "I really don't understand? White? What do you think?" Yes, there are rumors outside, His Majesty is furious, and will kill you in a few days."
"It depends on the weight of Princess Yuhua in His Majesty's heart..." Yuan Buwei said casually.
Xiao Yuan was stunned, and the wine in his hand shook out: "You still want to rely on Princess Yuhua? This time you have humiliated the princess greatly, how can she speak for you?"
There was one more thing he didn't say.
... Xiao Yuan already felt shameless for accepting Princess Yuhua's magical medicine before turning his head away. Didn't expect there to be more shameless operations now? ? ? Being used so repeatedly, kicking it away after using it up, even if Princess Yuhua is a fool, she should be angry.
Yuan didn't say any more, but his expression was very calm.
Xiao Yuan didn't fully understand what he meant.
His move this time is a kind of temptation. In a feudal society with strict hierarchy, the majesty of the emperor is above all else, unless it is a puppet emperor. And what Yuan did not do has undoubtedly put the Tian family's face on the ground. According to common sense, even if the princess intercedes, it is useless.
If the emperor chooses to let him go in the end, it means... the weight of Princess Yuhua in his heart is either very light or very heavy.
"...But, what if Princess Yuhua can't persuade Your Majesty?" Although he still thought that Yuan was not thinking in the wild, how could Princess Yuhua be so stupid, but Xiao Yuan still followed his words?, "On weekdays No matter how much you love her, it's impossible for everything to go her way."
Yuan Buwei picked up a piece of jujube flower cake and threw it into his mouth, and said casually: "If it's really like this, it's actually easier."
—Just expose the true face of Princess Yuhua directly. In this process, it is necessary to use some methods that can be called miraculous for ordinary people.
— Known? The current emperor is devoted to Taoism. If a strange person with great powers suddenly appeared, ask him what he would do? Solution 1: Make a confession like a god; Solution 2: The emperor is too stupid to try to force it.
—If it is the latter, you can change the emperor.
Xiao Yuan felt a little cold for no reason, and then saw that Yuan Buweizheng was twitching his eyes while his eyes were lost in thought. I don't know what he was thinking, and somehow felt that this person was planning something extraordinary, so he shook his head amusedly:
"Forget it, I won't ask. Seeing Zhishui, you don't need to worry about me."
"—Come on, drink!"
He raised his cup, raised his head and took a big sip with a very chic posture. As a result, I accidentally choked, coughed for a while, and became quite embarrassed again.
The faint smell of wine wafted in the cell, and most of the food Xiao Yuan brought was taken away.
After seeing Yuan Buwei's state, Xiao Yuan really didn't worry about it. Instead, he was convinced that he must have someone behind him, so he chatted about all kinds of interesting news, and asked curiously: "By the way, Yuhua Princess, she, she really will..." Is it crazy to plead for mercy with a man who repeatedly teased her and ruined her reputation
"So, do you want to make a bet? About? Princess Yuhua."
"I bet she won't stand by and watch." Yuan Buwei's expression was very calm, and he was still thinking about joking, and said casually, "Well, maybe she will come today?"
"I still can't believe that Princess Yuhua can't be so..." Xiao Yuan shook his head, wanting to say "infatuation", but felt it was inappropriate.
At this time, there was a sudden noise outside the cell.
The jailer who was bribed by Xiao Yuan to bring him in before ran over in a panic and whispered hurriedly: "Princess Yuhua is here!... The lord should go too, right?"
Things like buying the cell boss to visit the prison are tacit things, and it's not good to put them in the open.
Half of Xiao Yuan's words got stuck in his throat again.
The muscles on his face twisted, forming a funny and absurd expression: "Princess Yuhua is really here?"
The strong shock made Xiao Yuan feel a little dazed, he tidied up in a hurry and was about to leave, he still didn't forget to look back at Yuan Buwei, showing admiration, and sighed for a long time: "Zhishui, it's really you!"
Yuan Buwei replied with an innocent and calm expression.
Not long after, the cell that had just been closed was opened again, and a very light and very faint fragrant wind wafted in
A gorgeous skirt first appeared in Yuan Buwei's eyes, and when he looked up, he saw an extremely beautiful girl.
Princess Yuhua really arrived.
As soon as she came in, she let out a low sigh, her eyes were full of distress, and she looked at Yuan Buwei, but saw the young man who was eating a snack in peace, greeted by a pair of overly calm Eye.
Princess Yuhua's brewing emotions were punctured by a needle like a balloon, and she took a deep breath: "Young Master Xie? Why bother? You broke your oath, didn't repay the favor of giving medicine, and treated me so unfeelingly." , just to come to the dungeon? To suffer?"
I didn't want to complain for the prison in my heart. This day prison includes food and shelter? Quiet, where is the hardship? Sure enough, he is a newcomer? An actor, he only remembers the lines he has memorized, and he can't even play impromptu after the situation changes!
His evaluation of Princess Yuhua in his heart was lowered by another step, and in turn, he asked: "Then what is the princess here for? Is it for dinner?"
He looked curious.
"..." Princess Yuhua froze on the spot for a second, then stepped back in disbelief, looking at Yuan Buwei as if she was looking at the No. 1 heartbreaker in Tianzi. The expression on her face paled visibly to the naked eye. Tears welled up in her eyelashes in an instant, "I just want to know one answer."
The girl's voice was already choked up, and her body was trembling slightly due to the violent emotional fluctuations, but she stood there with her back straight, with stubbornness in her weakness: "I don't understand? Bai? Why did Mr. Xie change his attitude so much? Heartless? What did I do wrong?"
Her voice grew louder, and one after another of questions came out, echoing in the empty cell, adding to the sadness.
It wasn't because he didn't answer, but he ate the last few pieces of cakes because of the girl's crying and questioning.
Princess Yuhua just looked at him quietly, her eyes shrouded in mist, her sadness and loss were enough to melt a heart of stone.
There was only a cold silence in the cell.
After a while, Princess Yuhua lowered her eyes and said in a raving voice: "I begged my father... I begged him for a long time, begging him to forgive you...he agreed."
"Is this the weight of the princess in His Majesty's heart..."
Yuan Buwei suddenly said something without beginning or end.
Princess Yuhua didn't know? So, I could only continue to say: "Yes, Father has loved me since I was a child. I begged him for a long time... As long as you are willing to perform the contract, Mr. Xie, as long as you promise to be with me..."
"... Excuse me for being rude."
Yuan Buwei interrupted her words with tenacious words.
Princess Yuhua couldn't speak anymore, she raised her head and glared at Yuan Buwei: "You, you really want to be so heartless that you don't even care about your own life?"
What responded to her was a pair of overly indifferent eyes.
"Okay, Xie Yuan, you're fine!" Princess Yuhua's chest rose and fell violently, she gritted her teeth and said a word, and left angrily.
Yuan Buwei silently watched her leaving back.
It's already been twice. The last time I donated the medicine, and this time I saved my life, they were all obviously tactful and gentle means.
Maybe it's because Princess Yuhua still regards herself as the original Xie Yuan, and she always feels that she can be fooled with a little coaxing.
It's not that Princess Yuhua or Li Mo are too stupid, it can only be said that the original body left such a deep impression on them that they even deceived Princess Yuhua by pretending to be sick. After all, the original body Xie Yuan loved Yu so much. Princess Hua, if she wasn't really sick, how could she refuse the marriage offer
It is precisely because of this impression that Yuan Buwei was able to deceive so many treasures from Princess Yuhua. But the most important reason is probably that this body has long been regarded by Li Mo as something in his pocket, no matter how much heaven, material and earth treasures are consumed, for him, they are all used for his own things.
But everything can be one or two. Princess Yuhua was deceived by her inherent impression before, but she won't in the future.
"...Is it going to come later? Is it going to be hard? According to my guess, they are so caring about their hands and feet, they shouldn't be able to do it hard?... Or, come hard? Yes, but they have to pay a heavy price."
Looking at the beautiful and slender figure going away, Yuan Wuwei narrowed his eyes slightly, his pupils were cold.
·
As soon as Princess Yuhua returned to the palace, her face changed.
"Amo, you guessed right before. Xie Yuan is not right. I can't figure out what he is now." She was a little helpless, but also a little disappointed. Method."
Some kind of indescribable emotion was entrenched in her heart, and Princess Yuhua was restless, walking back and forth.
"... Mo, I don't know? I don't know what to do... Can we only choose him? There are so many people in this world, we can choose another person who suits you."
A faint shadow spread outward from the jade pendant around Princess Yuhua's waist. After a long silence, the weak male voice said in a hoarse voice: "...I'm afraid I can't."
"...I'm only sure of him. If you choose someone else, the chance of success is only 30%..."
Li Mo's voice obviously weakened a lot, it seemed that the protracted days were very difficult for him.
"...Forget it, I have wronged you these days. Thirty percent hope is not small, so I will choose someone else."
"No!" Princess Yuhua's heart twitched, and she blurted out without thinking, "No! I have to be 100% sure, Ah Mo, you must not mess around?!"
There seemed to be a shallow sigh in the hall.
Princess Yuhua felt more and more distressed. She turned around like a headless chicken, full of pain, confusion, and despair all mixed together, and gradually brewed into anger and hatred towards the "Xie Yuan" who didn't know how to praise. meaning.
"Is there really no other way?" She gradually clenched her hand hanging by her side, and her nails dug into the flesh. "Is it okay to let Xie Yuan agree to it?"
The hall fell into silence again.
Princess Yuhua was keenly aware of something, and her eyes suddenly burst into a look of hope: "You have a way! Ah Mo, you have a way, right?!"
Seeing that Li Mo didn't answer, she became even more anxious: "Tell me what it is! I will definitely help you!"
After a while, Li Mo let out a long sigh: "There is indeed another way, but this way is not good for you."
Princess Yuhua hastily asked: "What is it?"
Seeing that Li Mo didn't want to talk again, she also chased after him so hard that she wouldn't give up until she reached her goal.
In the end, Li Mo had no choice but to say: "You are the imperial concubine, born noble, with extraordinary fate. If you use fate to suppress it, you should be able to temporarily suppress Xie Yuan's vitality, even if it is only for a few breaths, without his consent." , I can also take his body by force."
As his words fell, Princess Yuhua's eyes lit up little by little. Although she didn't understand some of the key points, at least she understood that she could help Li Mo take Xie Yuan forcibly body of.
She agreed straight away? "That's it."
"No," Li Mo disagreed, "If you do this kind of thing, your fate will be greatly damaged."
Princess Yuhua thought for a while and asked, "Will it hurt my life?"
"Won't."
"—That's it."
Li Mo still hesitated: "This is not good for you. I can still hold on, maybe we can try to persuade Xie Yuan... I can also choose someone else..."
Princess Yuhua no longer listened to him, turned around and walked out of the hall: "No, I have already made my decision."
"Using fate to suppress one's strength... what should I do? Ah Mo, come here? Teach me."
