Chapter 512: Heartbreak
Even others, seeing such a situation, couldn't help but chill in their hearts, let alone He Yueying herself.
I believe that after this time, she is more and more dead to He Rong, Chu Yunsheng thought so, and at the same time, she also quietly stretched out her hand and pressed it on He Yueying's palm, only to feel that her palm was cold, and her body was trembling slightly.
At this time, Su Yun turned around and raised his eyes to ask He Yueying's opinion.
She took a deep breath and nodded softly at Su Yun.
Her movements were small and she didn't use much force, but the two lines of tears rolled down her cheeks with her nod.
Seeing this, Chu Yunsheng and Su Yun, who were hiding under the covers, were a little distressed.
Su Yun turned around helplessly, and said sharply to the captain of the Praetorian Guard outside the door: "Since this is the case, you will search it, but there is one point, we can talk about ugly things in front, this is the bedroom of the princess of Zhao Guo, not everyone can come in casually, if you want to search, send two people in, if you must rush in and search regardless of the consequences, then Zhao Guo will be investigated, I think, your King Xiao He also needs to have a scapegoat." ”
And this scapegoat, naturally refers to the captain of this team leader, what Su Yun said is already very obvious, the captain of the Praetorian Guard team leader is not a fool, he naturally heard it clearly, he took a step forward, walked to the door, and said loudly: "Please rest assured that Her Royal Highness the princess is here." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the two subordinates behind him, both of whom hesitated a little after receiving his gaze.
After all, what they are letting them in now is not somewhere else, but a princess's bedroom, and this princess is still the princess of the Zhao Kingdom, who dominates one side.
In their opinion, even if King Xiao He has already informed the envoy of Zhao Guolai, but when it comes to the specific matter of searching the princess's bedroom, no woman can accept it, not to mention that she is still a princess with golden branches and jade leaves, once the time comes, these people, especially those who go in to search, will become King Xiao He's scapegoat in order to deal with Zhao Guo, just like the maid in the door reminded.
No one wants to be sent in to be the scapegoat.
Even their captains, who were eager to make meritorious contributions, only stood outside the door and let them in, which shows how hot this potato is.
But instead, the captain chose them.
At this time, when they saw the captain's gaze signaling them to enter, a trace of despair crossed the eyes of both of them.
But even though they knew that there would be no good fruit to eat when they went in to search, the two did not dare to resist, because if they disobeyed at this time, their captain would immediately let them "have no good fruit to eat".
One is the consequence that will be faced later, and the other is the threat at the moment, so after receiving the captain's gaze, the two only hesitated for a moment, then gritted their teeth and stepped forward.
As soon as they reached the door, the door had already opened, and the palace maid who had just shouted to them stood at the door, her appearance was very ordinary, but her eyes were extraordinarily smart, and her eyes only swept a faint glance at the two of them, and the two of them only felt that their hearts were rippling.
Without waiting for the two of them to sigh in their hearts, they saw her frowning and said coldly: "If you want to search, hurry up, Her Royal Highness the princess has already gone to bed, and it is already a crime to open the bedroom to you like this at this time, if you dare to delay again, you will bear the consequences." ”
Her voice was faint, but the more cold she said it, the more intimidating it became.
Seeing this, the two of them were stunned, and hurriedly took steps to walk into the house, but after taking two more steps, the two of them were stunned again, because they saw that Her Royal Highness the Princess was lazily leaning on the bed in a moon-white bed dress at this time, and when they looked over, she was also raising her eyes to look at the two.
Although her eyes were as pale as water at this time, the hearts of both of them felt cold at that moment, and they only glanced at her and immediately turned their eyes in fear, not daring to look at the bedside again.
Joke. That's the princess of Zhao who hasn't left the pavilion, if they let them look at it two more times like this, the two of them still have a small life to see tomorrow's sun!
"Aren't you going to search?"
He Yueying's eyes gradually turned cold, she swept towards the two Praetorian Guards who did not dare to look at her, and her tone gradually became colder: "Then you should see, where can I hide the assassin in this house, is it this case a few times, or on the beam of this room, or is it on my bed? ”
As she spoke, she raised her hand to lift the quilt, and the two Praetorian Guard soldiers saw this scene from the corner of their eyes, and they were so frightened that they hurriedly turned around, if they saw the princess who lifted the quilt and was wearing a bed robe, they were afraid that they would be dragged down and killed by the cane, coupled with He Yueying's tone at this time, unless they were disgusted, otherwise, where would they dare to take a second look.
What's more, the moment they walked into this room, they had already quickly looked at the room, and at a glance, there was no other shelter except for the beds, tables, chairs, and beams, and they had quietly seen the beams, there was no half a figure at all, and other places were even more impossible, so it was obvious that not only did they not find the assassin in the princess's room now, but now they completely annoyed the princess.
Therefore, after hearing He Yueying say this and seeing her make such a move, the two of them hurriedly said while turning around: "Don't dare, little one, please forgive Her Royal Highness the princess." ”
said, without waiting for He Yueying to speak, the two of them had already escaped from the room.
"How?"
The Janissary Captain, who didn't dare to come in at the door and used the two of them as cannon fodder, looked at the two of them with such a panicked expression, his eyes changed, and his tone became a little anxious.
"Newspaper, nothing. ”
The two returned to the group and reported loudly to the Janissary Commander, but their bodies were still trembling slightly because of the tension they had just had.
Seeing this, the Janissary Captain naturally noticed the unnatural reaction of the two, he took a step forward, approached the two, and then lowered his voice and said, "What's the matter?"
If there really isn't anything going on, why did these two people react so unusually?
Hearing this, the two turned their eyes and glanced at each other, and then raised their eyes to look at the Praetorian Guard Captain, and finally the man on the left stepped forward, approached the Janissary Captain's ear, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Her Royal Highness the Princess has already slept, and she has just lifted the quilt to show us...... Blasphemy and offense against the princess is a great disrespectful crime, and it will be cut by a thousand knives, so just after confirming that there was no one else in the room except the princess and the palace maid, we immediately withdrew it, just hoping to save our own little life, and please make sure that the adults must make decisions for us, and we are also acting according to orders for official business......"
After the man said this, he still felt uneasy when he thought of what had just happened.
Seeing this, the commander of the Praetorian Guard dispelled the doubts in his heart, he nodded, then turned his head to look at the door that had been closed, and said loudly: "We are also acting on orders, and we also ask Her Royal Highness the princess to forgive the sin, and the little one will take people away and not disturb the princess again." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and made a gesture to the men who were searching the courtyard, and everyone followed his gesture and exited the courtyard.
When they had gone far away and had already left the Furong Palace, Chu Yunsheng poked his head out of the quilt at this time, and then looked at He Yueying guiltily and said, "I'm sorry, it's all for me, just now, I wronged you." ”
If it weren't for the purpose of hiding her, even if those people came to search, He Yueying would not have to lie on the bed and scare those two people away with the agitation method, so that her reputation would be even more lost.
Listening to Chu Yunsheng's words, He Yueying shook her head.
She shook her head, and the tears that had been rolling in her eyes fell from her eyes again, and fell directly on the back of Chu Yunsheng's hand, "It's none of your business, if he still cares about my own sister, he won't send someone to search my bedroom, and naturally there won't be such a thing, since he gave this order, he naturally thought that I would be embarrassed by these people, hehe, it's really my good brother." ”
Although He Yueying was sad after seeing He Rong's true face clearly, she thought that she had broken off all her family affection for He Rong after knowing that He Rong used her as a chess piece, but she didn't expect that after encountering tonight's incident, her heart would still hurt.
That's her brother, her own brother.
is the brother who has guarded her and protected her for so many years.
Over the years, she has always thought that he is gentle and capable of everything, but she has not found out recently that she has never seen his true face clearly, everything he does has a purpose, and anyone he treats well is a pawn in his favor, and in his eyes there is only power in the world.
And she, to him, what is she?
The more she thought about it, the more sad He Yueying became, even if she knew that He Rong was just using her, but she couldn't control her heart and couldn't make herself sad, because He Rong was fake to her, but she was true to He Rong, he was the only light and heat she had in the cold and treacherous Zhao Palace over the years, and now, the facts in front of her told her that this light was the light of killing, and this heat was a knife wrapped in honey, which made her not heartache and how not to be sad.
Chu Yunsheng naturally understood He Yueying's mood at this time.
Now she is the same as the despair and heartache after discovering He Rong's hypocrisy and exploiting her face.
She is so similar to He Yueying, they both mistakenly took He Rong's goodness seriously, and they also paid their sincerity.
Looking at He Yueying's heartache like this, her heart also ached faintly, but she also knew that this injury, this pain, she could only lick the wound herself, let time slowly dilute it, no matter how much others persuaded her, it was useless, all she could do was to accompany her and accompany her out of this pain.
Chu Yunsheng sat up and raised his hand to hug her, she wanted to give her warmth silently like this, making her feel that this world was not all dark and cold.
He Yueying also followed Chu Yunsheng's strength and lay on her shoulder, the tears that she had been holding back just now couldn't hold back anymore at this time, and fell down all of a sudden, she choked up while crying: "How can he do this to me? When other brothers and sisters in the palace bullied me, he was the first to stand up and help me, when I was thirteen years old, I was tricked by the second emperor brother and sprained my foot, and I couldn't walk on the ground for a month, he came to accompany me every day, carried me to the imperial garden to relax, and also took me to my father to seek justice and severely punished the second emperor brother, when I was fifteen years old, my father went on a hunting trip, when I met an assassin, the assassin used me as a threat in desperation, it was he who subdued the assassin with one person and blocked the sword that should have been stabbed in my arm for me, he was for my own brother who didn't even care about his own life, why now…… Could it be that all this is fake? Could it be that he walked with me on his back and sprained my foot to block the assassins just to show himself in front of his father, just to let his father suppress the second emperor's brother?"
The more He Yueying cried, the more sad she became, and in the end, she couldn't say a word, just cried.
Chu Yunsheng's shoulders were wet with her tears.
But at this time, she couldn't find any words to comfort her, so she could only raise her hand and wrap it around her shoulder, gently patting her shoulder and back like a child.
In this way, I don't know how long it took, until He Yueying had cried enough and was tired of crying, she slowly struggled out of Chu Yunsheng's arms, and then looked at Chu Yunsheng with two swollen walnut-like eyes and said, "I'm sorry, I made a fool of myself." ”
Hearing this, Chu Yunsheng shook his head, and then said softly: "It's okay, there were a lot of things I wanted to persuade you, I wanted you not to be so sad, but when the words came to my mouth, I didn't know what to say, because no matter what you say, it will only make you more sad, you just need to know that your current sadness and sadness are just to punish yourself for his mistakes, since he doesn't care anymore and just uses it, why are you still trapped in the previous family relationship and can't let go?" If you are really sad, don't think about using the one you don't use, just think that the brother who loved you and protected you before is dead, and now he is just an unscrupulous stranger to you. ”
As he spoke, Chu Yunsheng raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears in He Yueying's eyes.
Listening to Chu Yunsheng's words, He Yueying's mood also improved slightly, she gritted her teeth, then nodded, and then said, "Well, I know, what should we do now, how can we help you find the jade pendant?"
Unexpectedly, the first thing she did when she recovered was still thinking about her jade pendant, Chu Yunsheng's heart warmed, and while raising his hand to help her put on her coat, he said, "I also have your help." ”
With that, she got up neatly from the bed and walked towards Su Yun, who was preparing paint.
