Chapter 43: The Covenant
Looking at the wind light walking out of the bamboo forest, Rong Yuan's eyes had a trace of vigilance and doubt.
"Xiaofeng, you" Yaoling was a little speechless, she knew that Fengzhao and Yueming would follow him, but she didn't expect him to show up. This made her feel a little embarrassed.
"King Ningjun," Rong Yuan's cold voice sounded next to Yao Ling, Feng Zhao had not yet spoken, Yao Ling on the side hurriedly said to Rong Yuan: "Don't be angry, he is worried about me so he will follow"
Hearing Yaoling say this, Rong Yuan couldn't help but be stunned: "He?
"Well," Yao Ling nodded hurriedly, "He picked me up," she said in a low voice.
Rong Yuan looked at Yaoling in surprise, and then turned his head to Fengzhao.
Feng Zhao walked up to the pavilion and went down the steps to the two of them, stretched out his hand and stroked Yaoling's head, took off the magnolia hairpin on her head, pulled up Yaoling's loose hair and pinned it with a hairpin, and then gave a salute to Rong Yuan, who was stunned: "Changyue Ning to see Your Majesty"
Seeing Fengzhao's behavior, Rong Yuan couldn't react for a while, he looked at Yao Ling, Yao Ling naturally met Rong Yuan's eyes and said: "Concubine Min also gave Xiao Feng that love poison, so I couldn't get angry for a while, so I came to the palace and sprayed her with a little poison." I met you. β
Rong Yuan only reacted a little at this time, and he continued to listen.
"That medicine is hair loss and then facial features ulceration, but it is a symptom of ten days, and it will automatically heal after ten days" There was some apology in his tone, and then he continued, "Today, the seventh princess went to beg me to let me see Concubine Min, I saw that she was pitiful, so I agreed to go to the palace to treat Concubine Min." She didn't say anything more.
At this time, Rong Yuan had already filtered through the things before and after, and understood why he met Yaoling.
"Yaoling, go back. Feng Zhao said to her softly, Yao Ling looked at Feng Zhao without reacting, "Obedient, go back to the post house, I have something to say to Your Majesty" Feng Zhao said a little more clearly.
Yao Ling didn't want to go back, her eyes involuntarily looked at Rong Yuan, Rong Yuan, who reacted at this moment, smiled gently at Yao Ling, and also stretched out her hand and gently stroked Yao Ling's head, and couldn't help but show a loving look in her eyes and said: "Obedient, I also have something to ask King Ning Jun." Seeing the two of them like this, Yaoling had no choice but to reluctantly walk around and disappear into the shadows.
After turning a corner, when she couldn't see the pavilion again, she quietly raised her waist and put away the voice under her feet and wanted to slip back again, when suddenly a faint voice came from her ears: "Follow me back." As soon as he turned his head, he saw a white figure behind him, and the face of Yueming in the moonlight was colder and quieter than the half moon above his head. She smiled flatteringly at him, and suddenly tried to jump out of his range, but a strong hand suddenly rested on her shoulder, and in a flash, it was already on top of a palace. Out of the courtyard wall of the palace, Yue Ming let go of the hand holding Yaoling's shoulder and walked in front by himself.
Yaoling's current mood is to be annoyed and annoyed, I don't know what Xiao Feng and Rong Yuan said, today's matter of Concubine Min Xiao Feng will definitely be angry with Rong Yuan.
"Don't think about it, Yue Ning won't do anything to that Rong Yuan. A sentence floated in front of him.
There are always few changes on this stinky prince's face, and no matter how cold and arrogant Xiaofeng is, he will never treat her like this. Thinking in his heart, he couldn't help but pout, "Stinky moon, rotten moon, stinky prince, rotten prince, I don't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade at all." β
Suddenly, her head hit something, she looked up, she didn't know when Yueming stopped, she hit his head on the back, "How are you walking, you want to kill me." Taking advantage of this opportunity, she sprinkled all the unpleasantness of today on Yueming's body: "You stinky prince will put up a fight, what else will you do," Yueming, who stopped in front, slowly turned around, and a pair of eyes stared at Yaoling's face, Yaoling looked at those eyes. I saw the two pools of water in those eyes, the water waves were clear and gentle, Yaoling's heart couldn't help but jump up, she tried hard to escape from that ** gentle water. But there was no strength left in his body.
Under the bright moon, a dusty young man looked at the beautiful and innocent girl in front of him with eyes like water, and the water waves were full of love.
I don't know how long later, Yueming turned around lightly and walked slowly and shallowly, Yaoling behind her couldn't help but hold down her thumping heart with both hands, and it didn't take long for her feet to walk back.
As soon as she returned to the room, she threw herself on the brocade couch and buried her face in the soft and glutinous brocade quilt. There is a faint excitement and joy in my heart and a little sadness, what is wrong with me, I have never felt this way. Quietly touched his face with his hand, it was so hot.
I don't know how long, she heard a flute sound faintly coming, in the flute she saw a young man wandering by the water, looking for her beloved woman, that woman seemed to be on the other side of the river, and as if in the middle of the misty water, she saw the sadness and melancholy in the young man's heart, she wanted to listen to it, but I don't know why she remembered Xiaofeng. remembered that he took her to play on the lakeside of the Qilin Valley, and remembered the appearance of Xiaofeng pulling her hair; I remembered that Xiaofeng took him to ride a horse and gallop in the flowery grassland. She closed her ears and couldn't hear anything more.
Watching Yao Ling enter the inn of the post house, Yueming's figure moved and came to a small bridge on the river behind the post house, at this time, in the dead of night, the bright moon was in the sky, and he pondered about the moon for a long time. In the end, as if he had decided something, he took out the jade flute and played it.
Besides, after Feng Zhao watched Yaoling's back disappear into the depths of the bamboo forest, he turned to face Rong Yuan, who was looking at him deeply. Greeting those eyes, Feng Zhao asked Rong Yuan lightly: "Can Your Majesty tell me the origin of that magnolia hairpin." "Today, he heard the words in Concubine Min's palace clearly, he had some contempt for Rong Yuan in his heart, a man can't even protect the woman he loves, and he is the king of a country in vain, what he has seen since he was a child is that his father, queen and mother have deep feelings, and in his eyes, love is only the only one, not shared.
Looking at his cold eyes, Rong Yuan turned his head to a pool of lake water in the night sky, and said lightly: "Can King Ningjun tell me about the relationship between that magnolia hairpin and Yaoling." β
The two fell silent for a moment. After a long time, Rong Yuan broke the silence and said softly: "That white magnolia hairpin was given to Wu Xiang to be specially made for Yu'er, and Yu'er is also Wu Xiang's daughter, his family has been a jade carver for generations, so his love for jade is not more than ordinary people. On the day she and Lu were born, I lightly pinned the hairpin to Yu'er's head, and she loved this hairpin the most. I'm going to give Yu'er a grand canonization ceremony, and I still remember that she brought the jade hairpin and came to me in a heavy court dress, and turned around to ask me if she was good-looking. The smile is like a flower, but in an instant, it disappears. After saying this, Rong Yuan's face showed deep sadness and longing.
After listening to Rong Yuan's words, Feng Zhao didn't speak for a long time, and the two fell into silence again.
"Did you find him in the end?" After a quiet time, Feng Zhao continued to ask, "I have found it, but there was a fire in Wu Xiang's house that night, I sent someone to investigate, but there were no clues, I suspected that the slut did it, but there was no evidence, and the prime minister held a lot of power, and I had no way to fully grasp the government at that time, so there was no result in searching." Rong Yuan said with a long sigh.
Looking at Rong Yuan Fengzhao in front of him, he finally let go of his prejudices, and described the process of meeting Yao Ling in detail, but omitted the fact that he was the prince of the Great Dragon Dynasty's Imperial Palace, and only said that he met Yao Ling when he went to Yin City to play, when Rong Yuan heard Yao Ling's exact birthday, his face showed joy and excitement, and now he was more sure that Yao Ling was his daughter.
Rong Yuan stabilized his excited heart, and asked Feng Zhao with a puzzled face how he was poisoned by Concubine Min, Feng Zhao told Concubine Min about the banquet from beginning to end, he once suspected that Concubine Allergy was poisoned Rong Yuan was aware, but what happened today is enough to show that Rong Yuan doesn't know anything. Thinking that the man in front of him was really a failure, and he didn't even know what the princess in the backyard was doing, he couldn't help but shake his head secretly, the only thing that was desirable was his dedication to love, but he didn't protect his loved ones.
After listening to the poisoning of Fengzhao, Rong Yuan only spit out two words in his mouth: "Slut." β
It's really unpredictable to think about things in this world, and sometimes I desperately want to find the truth, but the truth is inadvertently revealed.
The night breeze was cool, and suddenly Rong Yuan seemed to think of something, and a pair of eyes sparkled in the night: "I once sent someone to Yanlong to propose marriage, but Yanlong replied that King Ningjun had married privately. He didn't say any more, but his eyes were fixed on the wind and the action of pulling Yao Ling's hair as soon as the wind came, and he saw all the intimacy and love revealed in his eyes.
Feng Zhao did not avoid Rong Yuan's probing gaze, he leaned behind his back with his hands and looked up at the half of the bright moon in the night sky and said, "Yes, she is my love." The tone was definitely steady. Rong Yuan didn't speak for a while, not knowing what to think. After a while, he said lightly: "King Ning and Jiang Li are very fateful, I will give Yao Ling an identity, so that she is worthy of the title of your county king." β
Leaving the palace, Fengzhao heard a flute sound drifting by, listened carefully for a while, and he smiled on a moonlit night: "That guy with a pale face like water has a beloved." "Talking to himself, the man has drifted far away.
The night was deep, and after the last note of the flute fell silent, Yueming said lightly: "You are here." Behind him, a long hair fluttering in the wind.
"What about Yaoling," he asked him, afraid that Yaoling would overhear him and ask Yueming to take her away when he sent her away.
"I'm back at the station," Yue Ming said lightly. "The flute is lingering, but you have a loved one?" asked Feng Zhao a little teasingly. Yueming turned around and looked at the arrogant and cold Fengzhao next to him, Fengzhao also looked at the cold and lonely Yueming next to him, the two pairs of eyes were as dark and deep as the dark night, and the two of them had studied together since childhood, ate together, and had already reached a tacit understanding that ordinary people could not match. Now that the two pairs of bright eyes are looking at each other, Yueming has already written his thoughts in his eyes, and the eyes of the wind are getting colder and colder, and a trace of anger is drawn out in the flash. Yueming's eyes were still light and quiet, and after a while, Fengzhao's cold voice sounded in a low voice: "When did it start?" Yueming retracted her gaze and raised her head to look at the half-round Mingyue and said lightly: "Unless we don't see each other in this life." Feng Zhao's heart moved, remembering the scene when Yueming first saw Yao Ling, which means that he also had a heart for her from then on.
The two fell silent. Fengzhao's eyes stopped on the dark river, and he was silent for a long time, and his cold and low voice sounded again: "What do you want to do?" Looking at the wind, Yueming's face was still as plain as water: "I'll help you set the world, and you give her a free heart." His voice was simple but firm.
Turning his head suddenly, a pair of deep eyes sparkled like stars in the distant sky in the moonlit night: "You sayβher heart is not free?" he asked in a long voice.
"Her heart is all about you, and she has forgotten herself. The faint voice drifted like a wisp of smoke.
"Then what are you fighting for?" There was a faint smugness in the cold voice.
"When you settle the world, she will think of herself after all. "Still a light and peaceful voice.
The river under the bridge is flowing loudly, sounding in the silence of the night, adding to the silence and depth of the night. The moon shifted overhead to the west and continued to deflect.
"Don't you want the world?" Fengzhao's voice sounded again.
"It's enough to have you in the world. Yueming said
"If the world is set and I give her the freedom of her heart, but she still doesn't want to follow you, what will happen?"
"I have no regrets in her heart. A low, shallow voice said again. There is incomparable indifference and easy-going in the voice.
Silence was long silence, the moon sank in the west, and the sky became darker.
With a flick of his hand, Fengzhao turned away, and Yueming also walked back. In the parallel of the two, one walked domineering and arrogant, and the other walked indifferently and elegantly.
At the door of the post house, Fengzhao stopped, stared at Yueming next to him with a pair of eyes, and his lips opened slightly: "I accept your agreement." Then he strode away without looking at the moonlight.
