Three days later, Yuan Peng set off to return to Nanchu as scheduled. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Outside the city gate, Princess Yuan Xi was dressed in Chu clothes, standing in front of Yuan Peng reluctantly, her eyebrows overflowing with parting sadness.

Cheng Jinzhi and Gao Heng stood not far away, although they had always had a grudge against Princess Yuanxi, they also sighed a little in their hearts for the separation of the two brothers and sisters.

"It's a long way to go, if she hadn't been married as a victim of politics, she would have been happier than she is now, right?"

"If she had married the sixth brother, I think she would have been happier than she is now. ”

Gao Heng sighed lightly, staring at the pair of parting people in front of him, in addition to helplessness, there were more difficulties in his heart.

He knew very well that he had never taken the initiative to show too much truth to Yuan Xigong, and he would not waver in the future.

However, now that Yuan Peng is gone, for this princess of Nanchu who married into the palace in the name of righteousness, compared to the kind of determination that wanted to drive her out of the palace, seeing her alone at this moment, Gao Heng suddenly felt a little unbearable.

"There's nothing wrong with loving someone, but she's actually quite pitiful. ”

Cheng Jinzhi said lightly, recalling the look in Princess Yuanxi's eyes when she saw Gao Heng at the city gate on the day she entered Beijing.

She knew that the man beside her would become another woman's eternal fetters and concerns.

It's a pity that she loves the wrong person. ”

Probably sensing the subtle changes in Cheng Jinzhi's mood, Gao Heng's eyes rolled, glanced at her sideways, and then put her hand into his palm.

Feeling the temperature coming from the back of his hand, Cheng Jinzhi's eyebrows moved lightly, and he smiled softly at Gao Heng.

Although it was just a simple action, it made her heart settle down a lot for a while.

At this time, I saw that Yuan Peng, who was originally talking to Princess Yuan Xi, suddenly cast his eyes here, and then walked over quickly.

"His Royal Highness King Yan, Princess Yan, there is a long way to go to the end of the world, but the day of reunion can be expected, please cherish each other. ”

He bowed to the two of them with a smile, and when he raised his eyes, a strange look flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Then, in a pretended slow tone, he said a sentence meaningfully.

"But I have a hunch that we'll see each other again soon. ”

"Okay, His Royal Highness King Wangheng has a smooth journey here, and the king and the princess are waiting for good news in the capital, looking forward to the day of reunion. ”

In the face of the strange meaning that was difficult to understand between Yuan Peng's words, Gao Heng did not pay much attention to it, but kept a calm and peaceful attitude and courteously returned to him, as if he was an official style.

Although the relationship between the crown prince and the king of Chu has not yet been completely determined, it is not known whether Yuan Peng knew about it.

But the departure of this prince of Southern Chu, to some extent, is more beneficial than harmful to Gao Heng and the entire Yanwang Mansion.

Even if it is an enemy, a long distance is always the best protection compared to an imminent threat.

If he could, he, like Cheng Jinzhi, didn't want to have any goodbye with Yuan Peng at all.

"Finally, there is another request below, I hope His Highness can take good care of Xi'er. ”

When mentioning his sister, Yuan Peng's eyes instantly became soft and gentle, and there was even a trace of deep sadness in the depths of his heavy eyes.

There seems to be something else besides that.

Although I can't see what it is for the time being, it always makes Cheng Jinzhi feel complicated and awkward, and I always feel that it is out of place.

But when I thought that I wouldn't see this person in the future anyway, I relaxed my vigilance for a while and didn't bother to pay attention to it.

Although she sometimes acts impulsively and even does some wrong things, she has a good nature and has never really harmed others. For His Royal Highness, it is even more sincere. ”

Yuan Peng looked at Princess Yuan Xi with red eyes, obviously feeling reluctant in his heart, and his tone was mixed with a sour nasal voice.

At the beginning, her father lied to her that the person she wanted to marry was the Yan King she had been thinking about for a long time, so she was willing to leave her hometown and marry here, otherwise, according to her arrogant and undisciplined personality, she would rather die than give in. ”

"Brother Huang, don't say it, it's the path I chose, I said it, I won't regret it. ”

Listening to Yuan Peng's sincere pleading, Princess Yuan Xi, who was already with tears in her eyes, finally couldn't help crying silently, and suddenly showed her vulnerable side.

Faced with this situation and such a solemn entrustment, Gao Heng was moved in his heart, but it was indeed difficult to refuse.

He subconsciously looked at Cheng Jinzhi beside him, and saw that there was no displeasure on her face, so he responded with a serious expression.

"Okay, I promise you. ”

As for Gao Heng's answer, Cheng Jinzhi knew that he was a person with a strong sense of responsibility, and at this moment, he was in order to take care of the overall situation, and there was really no antipathy in his heart.

Not only that, looking at Princess Yuanxi's fragile and sentimental appearance that was different from the past, she hesitated for a moment, but still took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and handed it over.

And looking at the handkerchief stretched out in front of her, Princess Yuanxi didn't expect Cheng Jinzhi to make such a move, and suddenly looked at her with some confusion.

Just when Cheng Jinzhi was imagining how she would alleviate this embarrassment if she pretended to turn a blind eye, she saw Princess Yuanxi's eyes flickering, and then raised her hand to take it.

At this moment, although she was not grateful, from her eyes, Cheng Jinzhi did not see jealousy and hostility anymore.

"Xi'er, don't cry, you must be well, don't let me worry. What the royal brother said, he will definitely do, you know?"

"Yes, I know, I'll wait for you to come back. ”

Princess Yuanxi nodded heavily when she heard this, like a child who was about to be separated from her parents who were about to travel far away, with tears and reluctance on her face.

After all, their brother and sister have grown up together and have relied on each other for so many years, how can this kind of family affection be so easy to give up?

Cheng Jinzhi thought silently, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that Yuan Peng had already stepped into the carriage accompanied by several Chu attendants.

Princess Yuanxi kept holding his hand and refused to let go, until Yuan Peng sat down in the carriage, and finally closed the curtain in pain, and she finally stopped moving forward.

Looking at the carriage that was blurred in the eyes of tears, and gradually moving away, his body finally weakened, and he squatted on the ground and cried silently.

But he didn't know that Yuan Peng, who was sitting in the carriage and had been trying his best to endure, also closed his eyes at this moment and silently shed tears of guilt and pain.

Looking at the weakness and sadness of Princess Yuanxi in tears, Gao Hengjian's eyebrows frowned slightly, but he still squatted down and gently helped her up.

"Nanchu is not really thousands of miles away in the Great Zhou, it is out of reach, and you will definitely see each other again. ”

Listening to Gao Heng's gentle persuasion in his ear, Princess Yuanxi slowly stood up with his support, and tears were gently rippling in a pair of autumn water.

stared at him for a moment, and then threw himself into his arms with a helpless expression.
