Chapter 281: The Eve of the Family Feast (9)
Concubine Li held her forehead, she had a headache.
She didn't expect this peach blossom to be as stubborn as her.
From the time she was reluctant to sleep just now, Peach Blossom has been kneeling for more than an hour, and if she doesn't sleep, she doesn't plan to get up.
She didn't sleep because of him, and Peach Blossom couldn't kneel because of her.
She felt a little guilty that she was involved with him and now that a person was involved.
It turned out that he should have made a break with him a long time ago.
It's just my own unwillingness, my own unwillingness to accept reality.
always thought that it could be recovered, and always thought that she and him would be possible one day.
Yes, it's her inadequacy.
It's all because she doesn't want to accept this reality.
She didn't want to hurt another unrelated person because of her.
"Get up, I'll sleep ........."
"The emperor has arrived!"
At the door, there was a report from Decai.
"Mother, it's really here, it's really here!"
The peach blossom who was kneeling on the ground jumped up, and the whole person was in a state of excitement.
Concubine Li obviously didn't expect that Cheng Qing would really come so late.
She thought that he would definitely be at Concubine De's or go back to his Ju'an Palace. She's just making a fool of herself here.
As a result, he really came.
"The concubines greet the emperor. ”
Although she couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart, she still tried her best to make herself look less excited.
"Get up. ”
It's him.
It's his voice.
The voice was so close to him that it seemed to be overhead.
Her hands were shaking, and her head was a little blank.
It seems that the things I just thought about were forgotten in an instant.
"Get out, all of you. ”
A voice sounded overhead.
Peach Blossom, who was kneeling on the side, squeezed her hand.
She turned her head and saw Peach Blossom's worried face.
She smiled.
It was late, but he came at last, didn't he?
At least, he came.
"Smack. ”
The heavy door was closed by Decai, and in the Xiangrui Palace, she and him were left.
Concubine Li breathed carefully, not wanting to make a sound to break the silence of the moment.
She was afraid, afraid that her voice would make all of that change.
She was even more afraid that this would be her dream.
Not far away, a huge incense burner was slowly emitting cigarettes.
This is the requiem incense that Peach Blossom specially lit for her, just to let her sleep peacefully.
"Raise your head. ”
She kept her head down, not daring to look at him.
She looked at her feet and shook her head a little angrily.
"Then I'm gone. ”
"Don't ........."
She looked up and quickly grabbed his cuffs.
The yellow dragon robe shone in her eyes, and she easily grabbed his cuffs.
He didn't plan to leave, he just wanted to scare her, so he just turned around slowly.
The sleeves were cold, and she pulled them tightly, and she didn't know what to say for a while.
"Isn't Concubine Ai acting very well today, what's the matter, there will be nothing to say?"
"I didn't ........"
"You can gamble with anything, but please take a little responsibility for your body. ”
"I ........"
Concubine Li raised her head, this face that had accompanied her for half her life, this face that had been engraved in her heart, was close at the moment.
She could see the tiny fuzz on his face when she was close.
Sure enough, it's a delicate look.
Even when he was so close, his face was so delicate and so good-looking.
The two long rows of eyelashes, like the wings of a butterfly, trembled and fluttered.
His eyes were only on her at the moment.
Her bright eyes were like a mirror, reflecting her nervous appearance clearly.
"I want to know..... What do you think of my .......?"
"How can you find the person who poisoned you?"
"You know ........."
She lowered her head again, a little choked in her voice.
"There are no impermeable walls in this world, and this is the palace, my territory. ”
"Are you angry?"
She asked in a whisper.
"I'm just curious to know, why are you doing this? What are you testing me? Concubine Li, I also have a temper and a bottom line. ”
When he said this, his tone was different from what he had just said.
With some displeasure, with a thick sense of blame.
"Tempting you, yes, I am tempting you. ”
Concubine Li raised her head suddenly, her pointed chin was raised high, and the invincible arrogance of her youth was revived again.
"Yes, I just want to test you! Test you and what I really are in your heart! Test if you are real, only have this throne! Test if you really want my family's life! What I want to test most is whether you have a heart or not!"
"What did you hear?"
"Yes, I'm not good. In order to marry you, my father threatened you, but you have already punished me! I have lived so long that I have never bowed my head to anyone, but for you, I bow my head everywhere! For you, I have stayed in this cold and lonely palace until now! For you, I don't even want my father and mother! All this is for you! Cheng Qing! Do you really think that I have to be you. Cheng Qing, do you really think that my love for you can last a lifetime. ”
She stepped back, and the more she spoke to the back, the more she trembled.
So many years.
These words, she thought about for so many years.
Because she likes him, because she loves him, she, the demon king of the mixed world who has been spoiled since she was a child, has forcibly turned herself into a concubine who does not fight or grab, and has a thousand demeanors.
For him, she hasn't been to see her father for so many years.
For so many years, in this deep palace, he has lived alone.
She seems to have forgotten that she doesn't owe him anything but this unrequited liking.
In his eyes, tears piled up more and more.
She tried to keep her eyes open so that the tears did not flow.
She lifted her chin to make herself look not sad at all.
She wasn't inferior to him, she just didn't want to, didn't want to lose him.
But it became a shackle for her to imprison herself.
"So, what do you want to do? Concubine Li, what do you want me to do?"
In the hazy eyes of tears, the bright yellow figure turned his back to her, with a tall back and waist-length black hair.
He asked her lightly, asking her what she was going to do.
He did not directly reject her love, as before, but asked her what to do.
Do you want her to give up? Do you want her to say that she will never love again?
She suddenly felt that her legs were weak.
The whole body seemed to sink suddenly, and then the whole person sat on the ground.
The bright yellow figure turned around and tried to hold her.
But it was too late, she was already sitting on the ground.
The large, white, bony hand was stretched out in front of her, and it would not be withdrawn.
She turned her head, not intending to hold his hand.
Above his head, he sighed softly, as if he was a little helpless.
Then, she felt that her whole body was light, and the person was already in the air.
She was picked up by him.
In my ears, it was the sound of his heartbeat.
She struggled, but the people around her didn't react.
She didn't struggle anymore.
Let's think it is, after so many years, his last reward for himself.
"Your father is my teacher, no matter how much I dislike him, no matter what he does, I will leave him a way out. This is the Venerable Teacher. Your family used to be the most powerful family in the capital, but now it's not, now it's the prime minister who is linking up with the capital, and I need your family's strength to resist and contain the prime minister, so now, my enemy is not your father, it's the prime minister. ”
He walked slowly to the bed and gently lowered her, but it was his words in her ears at the moment, he needed the strength of her family.
"So, you're just trying to take advantage of me, aren't you. ”
She turned her head sideways, a weak smile on her lips.
"Don't talk about exploitation, you are very important to me. It's enough that you know this. ”
"Cheng Qing, you are so cruel. ”
