The sky is getting darker and darker, as if the night is coming, it is depressing and uneasy. Man Yao's fingertips holding the window lattice were bluish white, her heart seemed to fall into a bottomless black hole, sinking endlessly. She stabilized her body, and through the gap in the window, she saw Zongzheng Wuyou calmly and indifferently looking at the ripples of the water in the hot spring pool due to the wind, and couldn't tell what he was thinking.
The Ninth Prince hesitated and said tentatively: "Seventh Brother, you and Liyue...you give her..." He was still talking, Zongzheng Wuyou turned around, with a calm face, and said indifferently: "It's her... willingly!"
What a simple and relaxed sentence, as if talking about the most common thing. The cold wind passed through the window, blowing on the pale as paper cheeks of the woman in the room. The woman's nails were already deeply embedded in the window wood unconsciously, and her slender body trembled slightly in the wind. She opened her mouth and took a deep breath, the cold wind pierced through her internal organs in an instant like a blade of ice, severing the heart that was so cold that it couldn't be more cold.
willingly? ! Yes, she is willing, who can blame her? She pressed her hands tightly on her chest, which was so painful that she was suffocating, as if she wanted to crush her heart through the skin. She bent over, gasping for breath, not blaming others, only blaming... She couldn't see people clearly, and couldn't see through that love was originally a moon in a mirror, illusory. She looked down at the gray-white and cold floor tiles under her feet. Something was rushing into her eyes, eager to vent. She raised her head quickly, raised her chin, and opened her eyes wide. Looking at the beams on the top, the dark red The delicate carvings on her face seemed to be traces left by dried blood, reflecting a desolate expression in her eyes.
The Ninth Prince always thought that Zongzheng Wuyou brought Liyue to the palace because Liyue could play chess. He used to learn chess because Seventh Brother liked it, but no matter how much he learned it, he couldn't get interested, so he had to give up in the end. Thinking of that indifferent and intelligent woman, he couldn't help asking: "Seventh Brother, will you...will you marry her?"
Zongzheng Wuyou was taken aback for a moment, looked up at the dark clouds in the distance, and did not respond for a while. The Ninth Prince sighed, turned around and saw a slender woman slowly stepping out from the small building beside her. The steps seemed extremely steady, but somehow gave off a sense of difficulty. He blurted out: "Li Yue ?!"
The moment Man Yao stepped out of that room, a smile appeared on the corner of her lips, self-deprecating and cold. The formerly clear eyes were now as silent as water, and there was deep irony and sadness in her eyes. She just kept looking at Zongzheng Wuyou from afar, her tight lips seemed to be severing something with a steel blade. The beautiful face is pale with the blood faded.
Zongzheng Wuyou turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw that she was only wearing a thin single dress, her long black hair scattered on her shoulders was fluttering in the wind, Shengxue's white clothes were billowing in the wind, making her slender body look It looks as if it is overwhelmed and will fall down at any time. Zongzheng Wuyou suddenly felt his heart tense, he walked forward involuntarily, frowned slightly and said, "I came out with such little clothes, aren't you afraid of freezing?!"
His care is so natural, it is this kind of nature that makes her unable to tell the truth from the truth, the truth from the false. Man Yao looked at Zongzheng Wuyou's outstretched hand to her, smiled mockingly, took two big steps back, suppressed the ups and downs in her heart, and said, "Have you already achieved your goal? Why do you need to put on an air?"
Zongzheng Wuyou was startled, knowing that she had already guessed the general idea after hearing those words just now. Facing her piercing and sharp eyes, he frowned slightly, lowered his eyes, turned sideways, and did not answer.
His silence is undoubtedly equivalent to confirming her suspicion. Although Man Yao already knew it, but at this moment, she still couldn't help feeling a great pain in her heart and her body swayed. Zongzheng Wuyou instinctively reached out to help her, but she dodged it . He put down his hand, his face was calm, no expression could be seen.
When the Ninth Prince saw it, he hurriedly said: "Liyue, don't get me wrong..."
Man Yao interrupted: "Your Highness the Ninth Prince doesn't need to defend him, whether it's a misunderstanding, I... know it in my heart." She clenched her hands tighter and tighter, trying her best to control the tears that were about to float to her eyes, raised her face, held her lips and said with a smile: "I want to ask His Royal Highness Li Wang one thing."
He regained his composure so quickly, and even changed his address. He heard it inexplicably and felt harsh. Zongzheng Wuyou frowned. Looking at her light and cold smile, he didn't speak, but only signaled her with his eyes. ask.
Manyao stared straight into his indifferent eyes, the pain spread in her heart, she smiled with difficulty: "The tea garden was sealed... I was arrested and imprisoned, it was all your arrangement... right?" There are very few people, so why was Ling'er arrested when she went to the tea garden early in the morning? She thought that he hated Emperor Lintian and would not like Emperor Lintian to intervene in his affairs, but she didn't know that his purpose...was her at all!
Zongzheng Wuyou's sharp eyes flashed, he looked at her for a while, and said in a calm voice: "I said before, it's not good for a woman to be too smart sometimes. If she is properly stupid, there won't be so many sad things You are so smart, why bother to get to the bottom of it and look for troubles."
This is the man who was so tender last night? It turned out that he was so ruthless! His words were like a drumstick hitting her heart hard, causing pain to the bone. She suppressed the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes, smiled very sadly, took a deep breath, and tried her best to calm down. Then he laughed at himself and said, "Smart? Heh... If I'm smart enough, how could I fall into your trap and become... a prop for you to practice?!" In the end... is she too stupid, or is he acting too realistically
Emperor Lintian was furious and sealed off the tea garden, arresting all the people involved and imprisoning him; the prince would find a scapegoat in order to remove the suspicion; During the calculation, he successfully let her live in the palace in the name of protecting her, and then seduced her heart with hypocrisy to achieve his goal. This is... the love she thought she was right? ! Ridiculous and sad!
Zongzheng Wuyou said: "It's not that you're not smart enough, but because you met this king. You don't have to worry, since...you are already this king's woman, this king will marry you." He stretched out his hand to support her shoulder, The temperature coming from his hands made him slightly startled, his body that was so hot last night is so cold now
She was shocked, and immediately took a step back, sideways to avoid his touch. Until now, he thought that his willingness to marry her was a great gift to her? Zongzheng Wuyou, you don't understand me very well! Her body trembled slightly, her hands were clenched into fists, her sharp nails sank into her tender palms, and she looked straight into his dark eyes with cold irony. Those eyes could no longer see the tenderness of the past, only Indifferent and cold, she picked up all the sadness and hid it deep in the corners of her desolate eyes, and then said with a light smile: "No need, His Royal Highness Li! **... It was originally your love and my wish, so why talk about marriage? Last night... just be It's a dream, wake up...it's nothing!"
