Chapter 478: Chu Chu is pitiful
"Xi'er, hopefully, you will never have the day when you return to Da Chu. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
On the way back to the palace after leaving Shuiju, Princess Yuanxi recalled what Yuan Peng said to him, she was already sad because of the pain of parting, but now she was immersed in the worry about the fate of Gao Heng and the entire Yanwang Mansion.
Even if he is on his own
But he still couldn't help but care about him, and was afraid for him,
Moreover, Yuan Peng's words have a clear meaning, if Gao Heng fails to seize the throne and the prince succeeds to the throne smoothly, the Yan Wangfu will definitely suffer a catastrophe. Since she has married into the palace, she is naturally one of Gao Heng's relatives.
Even if she can escape by relying on the identity of the princess of Nanchu, she will definitely be taken back to Dachu by Yuan Peng.
This is something she would never want to see.
At that time, Gao Heng had already been entrusted by Emperor Zhou to inspect the Praetorian Guards, and was riding back home with Shen Jun.
On the crowded street, in order to avoid bumping into others, Gao Heng deliberately slowed down his progress, and his eyes wandered, but he suddenly saw Princess Yuanxi walking alone on the road.
In normal times, he might have pretended to turn a blind eye and walked by, but now that his expression was gloomy, as if he had something on his mind, he hesitated for a moment, but still took the reins in front of her.
Feeling a sudden shadow cast in front of her, Princess Yuanxi subconsciously raised her head.
When his eyes came into contact with Gao Heng on the horse, his originally dull eyes suddenly flashed.
"Your Highness......"
"Why are you alone here? Is something going on?"
Gao Heng first ordered Shen Jun to go back to the house, and he flew off the horse and stood in front of Princess Yuanxi, with a gentle look in his eyes.
"I just went to see the emperor. ā
Princess Yuanxi pursed her lips, she didn't want to hide it, but she didn't know what else to say, and the look of grievance on her face suddenly appeared.
It stands to reason that the person in front of her is hers, and since she is sad in her heart now, she can naturally hide in his arms at any time to cry and seek warmth and comfort.
It's a pity that in the face of Gao Heng, Princess Yuanxi has experienced too many rejections and indifference, and her whole heart has long been full of holes.
She didn't want to hurt herself anymore.
"I heard that your imperial brother will leave for Chu in three days. ā
Looking at the forbearance in Princess Yuanxi's eyes, Gao Heng knew that she and Yuan Peng had a deep love for brother and sister, and now that they were about to be thousands of miles apart, as soon as they turned around, they might never see each other again in this life.
Thinking of her being a girl who married far away from her homeland, although she had also done anything because of jealousy, she was indeed infatuated with herself.
After Yuan Peng leaves, the only thing she can rely on is herself, a husband who doesn't love him.
Thinking like this, Gao Heng's eyes relaxed, and he couldn't help but feel a little pity in his heart.
"Yes, this time, I guess what is left is a lifetime of missing. ā
Princess Yuan Xi smiled sadly, and many bits and pieces with Yuan Peng in the Chu State appeared in front of her, and her tone began to choke a little.
"When I was a child, I was very restless, I always liked to run around, play around, I didn't like to stay in the palace, I didn't like to stay with my father, and even my master scolded me for being wild. But now, there is no going back.
She said and took a deep breath to calm her mind and prevent tears from slipping from her eyes.
"You still have me. ā
It's a pity that what fell into my ears was-
"Although I can't give you what you want, I promise you that as long as you are by my side for a day, I will take good care of you. ā
As soon as the words fell, he clearly captured a heavy disappointment in Princess Yuanxi's eyes.
It's a pity that he can't give her hope at all.
"Your Highness knows that this is not what I want to hear. ā
Princess Yuanxi bit her lower lip and squeezed out a few words from her throat, and the hands in front of her were tightly intertwined.
"Princess, it's getting late, let's go back. ā
In order to prevent each other from stiffening over emotional matters, Gao Heng pretended not to know what to interrupt her, and looked up at the sun that was gradually moving west.
After a moment's silence, he flew back on his horse, and then held out his hand to her on his horse.
Looking at the skeletal and warm hand that Gao Heng stretched out in front of her, Princess Yuanxi's heart was hot and she put her hand into his palm.
The street is still crowded, and seeing a pair of handsome men and beautiful women riding together on a tall horse, the affection is long, which has attracted the curiosity and envy of many people.
The few people who knew Gao Heng saw that it was not Cheng Jinzhi who was sitting on the horse, and their eyes widened in surprise, and they talked about it in private.
But Princess Yuanxi didn't pay attention to anyone's gaze, but wrapped her hands tightly around Gao Heng's waist, leaned her head lightly on his shoulders, and closed her eyes slightly.
The fragrance of magnolia flowers lingering on the tip of her nose is even more fascinating and intoxicating.
This should be the happiest situation since she married into the palace.
Feeling the deep affection behind him, Gao Heng twisted the corners of his eyebrows lightly, and sighed helplessly in his heart, but he couldn't bear to show resistance.
It's just that because there are many people and I don't want to cause any more rumors, I speed up the ride.
"Your Highness......"
However, at the same time, Princess Yuanxi, who only heard behind her, suddenly spoke in an almost pleading tone.
"Promise me to go slower, okay?"
In the face of Princess Yuanxi's earnest request, Gao Heng did not answer, but the hand holding the reins gradually relaxed.
If at this time, the person on his back is Cheng Jinzhi, even if he stops in the middle of the road and does not retreat or advance, he is also gladly willing.
But for the sake of Princess Yuanxi's heartache, Gao Heng still slowed down.
On the other side, Cheng Jinzhi, who was summoned by Emperor Zhou, had already left the palace safely at this moment and was rushing back to the palace in the carriage.
When passing by the lively street market, she opened the curtain and looked out as usual, and this look, she saw Princess Yuanxi walking not far in front.
Originally, according to Gao Heng's usual riding speed, he had already arrived at the palace at this moment, and it was only because he was as Princess Yuanxi wished, that he deliberately slowed down. But he never thought that he was hit by Cheng Jinzhi.
"That girl's back looks like that princess of Chu. ā
Cheng Jinzhi squinted his eyes and stared for a while, then ordered the coachman to speed up and rush forward, and after confirming that this person was Princess Yuanxi, he naturally quickly saw Gao Heng sitting in front.
In the face of such an intimate move by Princess Yuanxi, Cheng Jinzhi's heart suddenly tightened, and just when he was about to be noticed by Gao Heng, he hurriedly shook his hand and quickly lowered the curtain.
Although she knew that Princess Yuanxi was also Gao Heng's wife, her actions at the moment were normal in the eyes of outsiders.
But even so, Cheng Jinzhi still felt that the vinegar jar in his heart was turned over, and suddenly the sour smell was sour, and the sour smell was overflowing.
The already heavy and anxious mood is even more chaotic at the moment.
