"stop!"
Before the finger touched it, someone suddenly heard a scolding.
The two of them stopped suddenly, Changsun Wuchen's calm expression was confused, and he didn't dare to look back at the direction from which the voice came from for a moment. Prince Xueya was also shocked, looking over the shoulder of the princess, looking at the end of the courtyard.
Under the moonlight, the red dress was as dazzling as blood.
However, that was the blood that had frozen under the wind and moon, and together with that person's eyes, it had frozen.
Jin Bihui didn't know how long she had been standing there, but at the moment she was always jumping and lively, her eyes were as cold as ice and snow, she walked over suddenly, and opened the hand that was frozen in mid-air: "You are not allowed to touch it! This is... this It's my husband!"
She struck hard, with a snap, Changsun Wuchen's arm was opened heavily, and his whole body staggered.
"Wuchen." Prince Xueya hurriedly supported her thin body, but the eldest grandson Wuchen was quite stubborn, avoiding his support, and staggered to stand still, his arms were already swollen. She bit her lip, her calm expression completely disappeared. After a long time, as if mustering up a lot of courage, she turned to look at Jin Bihui who was standing aside.
— how did she come out? How could she just come to the yard at such a late night
The red clothes bloomed like roses under the cold moon. It was the first time that Jin Bihui had such an indescribable look on his face, which was full of laughter and cursing. Looking at the two, the corners of his mouth moved, as if there was a hint of a smile, but As if sad.
"Bihui..." paused, not knowing what to say, but Prince Xueya came to his senses first, knew what he had to say, and finally spoke with some difficulty, "You may have misunderstood."
In that case, in an instant, Yan Bai felt that he was almost a despicable villain.
"Shut up." Jin Bihui looked at him coldly, as if he wanted to see directly into his heart, "The more you talk, the more I look down on you—don't think that you are the only one who can look down on others! What are you guys?..." Her voice At first it was abnormally cold, and even a little numb due to shock, but halfway through speaking, the tone gradually became agitated.
She looked at her eldest grandson Wuchen, and nodded suddenly: "Sister, you are really worthy of him—you are the kind he likes in his heart..."
As she said, she gritted her teeth hard, Yan Bai saw her hand clenched the dagger around her waist, she was startled, and quickly took a step forward to stand in front of Changsun Wuchen: "Ma'am, please be quiet first." , shall we have a good talk?"
"Quiet? Quiet, why quiet!" Hearing her husband's words, Jin Bihui suddenly became really furious, pointing at the princess next to her, "You like her, don't you? Then there's nothing else to talk about! Tell you , I—" There was a bright light in the eyes of the woman in red, she paused, and finally said tremblingly: "I don't want you anymore!"
As if she was afraid that her husband would say something again, she didn't allow Yan Bai to speak, she said this sentence first. However, when such a stubborn woman said these words, she still had a crying sound.
"Yan Bai, I don't want you anymore!—Who cares?" Clenching her hands tightly, Jin Bihui raised her head and gritted her teeth. However, the grief of frustrated self-esteem still appeared in her bright eyes hard to conceal, and she never looked at him again. They turned around and went back to the room, "You, you can do whatever you want! I will go back to Xi Kingdom tomorrow."
"Siblings!" Suddenly, the Crown Princess, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke, and without speaking, she suddenly lifted her skirt and knelt down in the yard! Prince Xueya was startled, and subconsciously wanted to stop him, but when he thought of something, he slowed down his gesture.
Jin Bihui paused, his fingers trembling slightly, and after a long time he said in a low voice, "Don't worry, I won't tell your husband."
"Not for this! If my younger brother and sister feel relieved, they can kill me. But... Please, don't leave Seventh Brother, don't leave Ye City!" In the moonlight, Changsun Wuchen knelt on the porch, such an elegant and indifferent woman However, she seemed to have completely disregarded her demeanor and dignity, and begged in a low voice, "Please don't go back to the country of Xi—seventh brother, he didn't do anything, it's my fault." , Moved a crooked idea."
Seeing her actions like this, Prince Xueya felt as if his heart would be torn apart—Wuchen has been so elegant and quiet since he was a child, which fascinated all the nobles in the country, but now she doesn't care about anything? This is more uncomfortable than killing her, but she is not for herself, but for the future of the entire Ye City and the army.
Prince Chengde and him, dignified men, have the blood of Liguo Yan's family, but they are unable to defend the world of Liguo, the city of Ye - now, are they even unable to maintain Wuchen
For a moment, he really felt as cold as ashes. What is the purpose of such hard struggle
He wanted to help Wuchen get up, but she remained motionless, kneeling in the moonlight dressed in white, with a deep meaning of enduring humiliation in her eyes, she shook her head at him, signaling that he should give in and admit his mistake.
"Bihui, how can you stay? Let me just say one condition, and I guarantee that I will do it no matter what—just, don't make things difficult for the princess." Yan Bai sighed, and said lightly, "Actually, we really have nothing .”
Jin Bihui stood on the porch, and wanted to walk away with a cold snort, but for some reason, he felt bitter and complicated in his heart, his steps seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he couldn't move at all.
In the barracks today, she has seen the plight of hunger and cold in Ye City—it is a rare scene for Miss Jin, who lives in the capital of Xi Kingdom and is used to seeing ample food and clothing—if there is no food to arrive in three days... Winter is coming, and the city is running out of ammunition and food. I'm afraid there will be a situation of cannibalism as the people say? At that time, the internal and external difficulties, and the Chengde Prince's Army, which has been struggling to support it until now, may also collapse thousands of miles.
She finally understood clearly why Yan Bai entered Jin's family so humiliatingly.
——She always knew that he was forced to, but she never understood that the real situation was so compelling.
In fact, she also knew that a person like Prince Xueya would not like herself as a bandit—however, why did her father betroth herself to him; and why did she agree to it
The brothers in Haihai believe in fate, but she has always been unruly. However, think about it, if you believe in fate, you don't have to think about so many complicated questions that you don't know the answer to, right? — For example, marrying Yan Bai is her destiny.
"You don't have to be like this—the food and grass will still arrive in Ye City in three days." Finally, she sighed, the corners of her mouth curled up, trying to put on a smiling expression, but she still looked stiff, "Don't forget, I I made an oath to those people: If it’s less than three days, I’ll behead him... I’m still young, so I don’t want to die like this.”
The prince Xueya and the concubine raised their heads in surprise, they couldn't believe that this always fierce woman let go so easily. Jin Bihui smiled, but gradually, tears filled her eyes—for twenty-five years, she had read a lot of people, but she didn't like any of them, but this time, she married a good man.
Over the past few days, she has gradually begun to understand his heart and personality—indeed, he is quite different from those men who joined the Jin family because of their lust for profit.
——However, even so, even though this person joined the Jin family, he didn't bring his heart along with him.
She can't stand it.
"The night is very cold, let's go back to the room first and then talk slowly, okay?" Seeing that the atmosphere had calmed down, Prince Xueya sighed slightly, walked up to his new wife and said. Jin Bihui has been unexpectedly quiet, without shouting or making noise, and they walked away together.
After walking out of the courtyard, Jin Bihui gave him a sudden glance, and suddenly said bitterly: "Yan Bai, I really... really want to beat you up!" At that moment, her eyes shone brightly, like a female leopard. Prince Xueya was startled, but in an instant there was a wry smile on his face—that was the reaction she should have, right
However, he had no other way out, he could only step forward and whisper: "Okay, it's my fault, just vent your anger. But, please don't cancel the matter of transporting food and reinforcements, okay?"
"That's the condition for you to get married, isn't it?" Jin Bihui suddenly laughed, "You have spent so much effort and endured so much effort to marry a female Jinwu and come back, don't you just count on that? — Unfortunately, just for a while I accidentally caught him having an affair, and he gave me the handle."
Yan Bai's face was still calm, he looked down at his wife, with a complex expression on his handsome face, and said with a sigh: "Okay, I promise I will never see the eldest grandson Crown Princess again. I will treat you well."
His hands fell on her shoulders, ignoring that she was angry, and embraced her in his arms. Jin Bihui glared at him, but the strength of such a graceful hand was astonishing, she staggered and fell into his embrace before she had time to struggle. She stretched out her hand angrily to push her husband away, but the hand around her shoulder was as steady as steel.
Prince Xueya hugged her, looked at Leng Yue outside the window, but had a complicated and painful expression: "Well... I will never see her again. Maybe we, we can still be together well."
That was the first time her new husband hugged her. However, tears welled up in her eyes.
For the first time, Jin Bihui realized that he was so thin, completely different from the plump and handsome man on the surface, and the protruding collarbone on his shoulders even hurt her face. Or, that years of burden had worn down his bones.
"Let go, don't humiliate me!" Gritting her teeth, Jin Bihui's eyes had a look of rebelliousness, her head was pressed hard by him, and she leaned on his shoulder, the breath that came out of every word she said The hair on his sideburns, but her voice was tough and irrefutable, "In that situation just now, I didn't take the opportunity to humiliate you, did I?"
Somewhat astonished, Prince Xueya looked down at his newlywed wife, while Jin Bihui was raising his head and glaring at him fiercely, but the look in his eyes was not as usual, but complicated and unable to see the end. At that moment, as if he felt some inviolable force, his hands loosened subconsciously.
Jin Bihui's head suddenly lifted from his shoulders, the moonlight outside the window shone on her bright face, and the thick long eyelashes cast thick shadows in her eyes. Her voice was suddenly not as lively as usual, but with a deep sigh: "Yan Bai, in fact, I have always admired your magnanimity. You are a good person, so no matter what I say, I don't want to embarrass you too much... But …”
She paused, then turned her head to look out of the window, where, under the cold moon, there seemed to be frost falling slowly.
"You look down on me in your heart, don't you?" Jin Bihui smiled suddenly, but his eyes were cold and stern, then turned his head, looked at her husband fixedly, and nodded, "Yes, I come from a humble background and cannot read and judge. Words, and no good nature—but, do you think I have no brains?… You look down on me…You always look down on me! How can I marry such a person—so…”
She raised her jaw stubbornly, but tears welled up in her eyes, and said proudly: "I don't want you anymore!"
