Chapter 381: A life in vain
"Sometimes... No, not sometimes, I envy her every minute and every second. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Looking at Gao Heng's tender eyes when she looked at Cheng Jinzhi, Princess Yuanxi couldn't hold back the sourness that rolled in her heart, and took a step forward, but her eyes were still full of tears.
When his eyes were loose, he cast his eyes on Cheng Jinzhi, who couldn't see his face clearly because he was blocked by the curtain.
"I'd rather be the one in bed right now. Although I know that His Royal Highness will not care for me as much as he treats my sister, and even feel a little distressed for me. But at least it was only out of sympathy and pity under a kind of charity, and it was much better than being treated by His Highness as a guarded and emotionless outsider like this... Too much. ”
Listening to Princess Yuanxi's bleak but extremely sincere words, Gao Heng twisted the corners of his eyebrows and took a deep breath in his heart, giving birth to a few complicated emotions for a while.
If Princess Yuanxi is really as she said, she is so infatuated with herself.
For her, this pain is not just for the moment, but for the whole long life.
This kind of helplessness that doesn't want to hurt others, but can't stop all mistakes from happening, also makes Gao Heng feel depressed in his heart.
But now, he hasn't even been able to protect the person he wants to protect the most, so how can he still leave extra space in his heart to worry about others?
"What kind of suffering is Jin Zhi suffering now, what kind of suffering she has suffered before, how do you know?"
Gao Heng deliberately turned a blind eye to Princess Yuanxi's voice sincerely, still looking unmoved and indifferent.
"You haven't experienced despair, you haven't experienced death, and you'll never understand how terrible and cruel that feeling can be. ”
"Yes, I haven't experienced it, but so what?"
Princess Yuanxi tightened her cheeks and tried her best to suppress the undulating breath in her chest, and even her voice trembled a little.
"Even if my sister lost her child and her appearance was injured by the fire, there was His Royal Highness who rushed into the fire to rescue her, and His Royal Highness was by her side with such meticulous care and companionship, and she always put her on the tip of her heart. ”
As she spoke, she raised her hand to cover her heart, and a fiery and resentful spark suddenly erupted in her eyes.
"For me, that's an unattainable luxury. This kind of watching his beloved pour out his heart and lungs to other women, and ignore himself, the kind of coldness that penetrates into the bones. Isn't it another kind of despair?"
"If you hadn't married into the royal palace, you would have been much happier than you are now, and naturally you wouldn't have to suffer this kind of pain. ”
Gao Heng passed by Princess Yuanxi and took two steps closer to the door, without looking back at her.
"I told you that night, I can't give you what you want. ”
"I don't believe it, I don't believe it!"
Princess Yuanxi raised her voice in a tenacious tone and turned around abruptly.
Tears finally couldn't help but flow up from the depths of her eyes, down her cheeks from the corners of her eyes, mingling with the smoky stains on her face, and consuming the whole face.
"You are my destined beloved, there are still such long lives and years to come, nothing in this world is absolute. I will not give up and I will never regret it. ”
"I've already said what I need to say, and it's your business how you want to do it. ”
Gao Heng said indifferently, and between his side glances, his eyes caught a glimpse of these stains on Princess Yuanxi's face.
Out of not wanting the people in the house to see it and privately suspect and discuss, he still took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to her.
Looking at the handkerchief handed over by Gao Heng, Princess Yuanxi's eyes froze, and suddenly as if she was flattered, she raised her hand tremblingly and took it.
Although such a behavior is a reasonable etiquette for two people who are not husband and wife.
But in the eyes of Princess Yuanxi, who had never felt any warmth from Gao Heng, it was enough to make her heart happy, and even a little excited.
She carefully placed the handkerchief in the palm of her hand, but she was reluctant to use it to wipe her cheeks.
"Wipe your face and go back. I will take care of the golden branches, and you don't have to worry about the rest of the palace, just keep to yourself. ”
Gao Heng said tepidly, with a faint layer of frost still floating in his eyes, and he didn't move.
"Your Highness......"
However, Princess Yuanxi did not respond directly, but pursed her lips with some hesitation, and then stretched out her handkerchief in front of Gao Heng.
"Can you wipe it for me?"
Faced with Princess Yuanxi's request, and looking at her pair of autumn water full of expectation and earnestness, Gao Heng tightened his eyes a little helplessly.
Just as he was hesitating and didn't know how to respond, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Immediately afterwards, Shen Jun's voice came.
"Your Highness, there is a holy oracle from the palace, saying that Your Majesty urgently summons you to the palace. ”
"It must be about last night. ”
Gao Heng's heart tightened, and he didn't pay attention to Princess Yuanxi anymore, and a cold and thick fog rolled in his eyes.
Although the soldiers met last night and fought fiercely, except for the people of Tu Lingsi and Yanwang's Mansion, almost no outsiders saw the prince appear in that mansion again.
It can't be proved that he sent someone to kidnap Cheng Jinzhi in the first place.
The crown prince was the most eloquent, and Empress Zhao and other ministers who supported him fanned the flames in the ears of Emperor Zhou.
If you want the crown prince to be severely punished by Emperor Zhou because of this, the possibility is actually very small.
Unless......
Thinking of this, Gao Heng subconsciously looked at Princess Yuanxi in front of him, and thought of her brother even more.
If the whistleblower letter last night was really sent to the palace by Yuan Peng, then it is very likely that he would be able to prove the evil deeds done by the crown prince in front of Emperor Zhou.
Also, about the old official silver case that the prince can't wait to push to himself, this is also a crucial figure for the brother and sister.
It's just that to this day, I haven't gotten a definite answer from the mouth of the two brothers and sisters.
Just as Gao Heng was quickly thinking about weighing all this in his mind, he saw Princess Yuanxi, who was standing beside him, silently put the handkerchief into her arms.
turned to put away the previous sad look, and looked solemnly in front of him, his eyes were heavy.
"I know that His Royal Highness must still be worried in his heart, when my sister disappeared the day before yesterday and the palace was trapped, my brother and I were difficult to find, and it looked more like we were trying to hide. Even if the imperial brother explained so much to you just now, even if he said that he sent someone to inform his sister's whereabouts, His Royal Highness may not fully believe it. ”
She said unhurriedly, silently, as if she had finally made up her mind, raised her head and stared at Gao Heng with deep eyes.
"However, no matter what Your Highness thinks of me now, now that the opportunity has come, I will prove everything. ”
