149. Cuckoo Blood II.
Kangxi pointed at me and scolded me angrily: "You're crazy! Fourth, pull her away for me." ”
Yin Zhen watched me walk over step by step, I shook my head against the door behind me, and pulled the hairpin from the back of my head, but I didn't know where to point.
He stopped in front of me, his inky black eyes still unchanged as they were familiar to me, and the thin lips I had kissed countless times pursed tighter than each time, almost in a straight line, and the light pink could not be seen. He stared into my eyes and reached out to the hairpin, and there was a tremor in his voice that I had never heard, "Give it to me." ”
I shook my head and clenched my hairpin, tears kept falling, and my other hand was against his chest, almost begging, "Don't come here, I won't get out of the way, I can't let them in, I can't let them take Yinxiang away." He is your brother, please, save him. ”
Yin Zhen lowered his head and looked at me, his voice was soft but enough for everyone in the hall to hear clearly, "Give me the hairpin." The latter words were lighter, and I tried to blink the tears from my eyes and look at his lips to make a difference, "You can't save him like this, this is a stab, understand?"
I bit my lower lip and pushed him away with all my might, put the hairpin against my neck, and looked at Kangxi, who was still sitting in the chair. I wiped the tears from my face and stared at him trying not to shake and make my words clear, "You're right, I'm crazy, do you want my life? But if you kill him......"
Pointing to Yinxiang, who stood up from the ground and stared at me, I grinned at the corners of my mouth, staring at Kangxi step by step. Yinzhen stood in front of me and shook his head, at this time he actually called me Yue'er.
Am I your moon? Am I still? Shaking his head and smiling, his mouth full of cold bitterness.
Kangxi got up from the chair and walked to Yinzhen's side, and Li Dequan hurriedly followed him to guard the other side, staring at me carefully. Kangxi's chin raised slightly, glanced at the hairpin in my hand from top to bottom, and sneered, "You all come to talk to me about the conditions, and I will tell you that I am the Son of Heaven and is not coerced by others, and if I want any of you to die, no one can live." ”
Blood overflowed from Yinzhen's palm, flowing down the hairpin into my fingers, damp and hot. It was as if I could smell the fishy smell that filled my brain, which I couldn't turn.
In addition to his hand, there is also a palm on my wrist - Yinxiang.
The two of them stood side by side in front of Kangxi, all looking at me, one squinted his eyes and couldn't see the love, and the other shook his head helplessly and sighed.
Yinzhen's hand was still holding the hairpin hard, and the blood kept flowing out. I can't remember how I stabbed it at that time, how he blocked it in front of Kangxi, at this time, my eyes were full of blood dripping out, bright red, and the pure gold hairpin soaked my palm.
Yinxiang took a step forward, looked down at me, broke my hand that was desperately holding the golden rose petals of the hairpin tail and pushed back a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "Really not alive?"
I wanted to smile at him, but I couldn't stop crying.
"Good. Yinxiang nodded, his face faded with anxiety and worry, his fingers brushed a strand of hair stuck to my cheek and pinned it behind his ear, his voice became very warm, and he even blinked his eyes and said something that made me laugh, "What do we have to be afraid of, we came to this world, and we didn't plan to go back alive." ”
"Filial piety ......"
Yinxiang raised the corners of his lips slightly and interrupted me, "Where are you, where am I, and so is she." ”
Kangxi's footsteps hit the ground and echoed in the hall, and the voice came from behind Yinxiang, "Aixin Jueluo Yinxiang, do you still know who you are?
Behind him was Li Dequan, who was following in unison, and Yinzhen, who was still standing next to us, staring at us, I lowered my head and stopped looking. We used to be so familiar, from strangers to the same person, even if there was this or that woman standing next to us, we never wavered in my determination to stay with him. It's just that at this time, it seems that I can't choose whether I want him or not.
We are destined to be different people.
Just like Yinxiang and Kangxi, they are not real father and son, we don't have a choice.
Yinxiang turned to my side, and his palm fell on my shoulder and gently covered it, just like when I was a child, when I was standing alone somewhere crying, I would always stand silently beside me, giving me strength warmly.
"Your Majesty, you're right, I'm not your son. I'm not Yinxiang, and I don't have your honorable surname, I'm Zhan Xiaoyan, and this woman is my sister. I'm not crazy, neither is she, we just didn't have a choice to get here. ”
I leaned on him, and the previous entanglement and contradiction disappeared in an instant, and I actually gave birth to a feeling of seeing the light of day again, even if my life was still in the hands of others. We care about each other in this other world, but we can't stand together openly and honestly, and we have no scruples about expressing our brotherly and sisterly feelings, never.
The hall was silent for a long time before he heard Kangxi repeat word by word, "Exhibition, laughter, speech...... Where's my old thirteen?"
"I don't know, maybe he took my place? I just know that we never wanted to hurt anyone here, and we tried to adapt ourselves to the one thing here, to fit you. So far, it's useless to say this, it's up to you whether you live or die. ”
Yinxiang's voice paused, and when it sounded again, it pointed to Yinzhen, who had been silent, with obvious laughter and helplessness, "Fourth brother, I've been used to calling it for so many years." We didn't mean to hide it from you, we just couldn't help it. Thank you for always taking care of Smile and taking care of me. It's worth it to be a brother with you. ”
The palm around my shoulder tightened, and the voice came from the top of my head, as if it had traveled through the entire time and space before entering my ears, soft but clear, "Smile, my parents handed you over to me when they left, I didn't take care of you." Don't be afraid, no matter where you go, my brother will accompany you. ”
I shook my head and buried my face in his chest, wrapping my arms around his back. After nearly 20 years of time and space, I was finally able to call him brother with confidence, but it was hidden in my crying.
I don't know if this kind of love is a grievance or what, I'm not afraid of death, even if I was afraid of it, I'm not afraid of it at all now. The large stone statue pressed against the bottom of the heart is about to overflow the throat, and it can only be vented in this way.
Brother's embrace is different from his, and the familiarity in his memory quickly returns, even if he changes his body, it feels the same as before. He and Yinzhen are both men, but they give me different warmth and security. In this embrace, there is no worry, no sharing, only uniqueness and irreplaceability. We are, after all, the closest people.
No one spoke out to stop me, I went from a wail close to hysteria to a silent sob, almost unable to make any sound, but it was like turning all the years of depression upside down, and the distance between me and Yinzhen that I didn't want to face.
Now, we are only a courtyard away, but it seems like the end of the world.
Kangxi, who wanted to kill us, finally released us back, and I followed Yinxiang back to the Thirteenth Elder Brother's Mansion, but Kangxi sent someone to monitor it.
Yinxiang is right, instead of letting the world who don't know the truth talk about the emperor killing his son and daughter-in-law, it is better to let us go and never come back to the ends of the earth.
I don't have time to think about why Kangxi agreed, I only know that my brother and I will not even die with filial piety, but I can't stay in the capital anymore, and I can't stay by Yinzhen's side anymore. All the vows I had made to him were empty words, and there was no chance of them being kept.
It's just that why did he bother to follow. He doesn't want such a blessing and his emperor Ama, even the child I gave birth to can't be included in the jade, does he still want me?
Xiaoyan sat next to me, one hand still on his bulging belly, and the other hand holding mine. Fortunately, she doesn't care, she just wants to follow her brother, and it doesn't matter where she goes.
This cold winter, when she is about to give birth, we can't go anywhere.
The door knocked softly, Yinxiang walked in, paced to the bed and looked at me and Xiaoyan, took off his robe and sat on the stool next to the bed, and was stunned for a while before slowly opening his mouth, "He has been standing outside for two hours, do you want to go out to meet him." ”
My heart felt as if it had been melted by the snow on the ground outside, cold as ice, and I clenched the hem of my clothes in pain but couldn't respond. At this time, what can we do? None of us can change Kangxi's decision.
Who can guarantee that he will see me, and he will still want me. Even if it is, he wants whatever he wants, how he wants.
"Go ahead. Xiaoyan's voice was still soft and low, with strong maternal love, and the understanding of the same woman, "Don't care what others think, if you can't let go, go see him." When we are really gone, you want to see him again, difficult. ”
I nodded and withdrew my hand from her palm, got up from the bed and looked at Yinxiang, "Brother, can you still leave the house?" I want to go back, I have something to pick." ”
Yinxiang looked up at me, and it took a long time before he nodded and stood up with his legs propped up, "Try it." ”
I returned to Prince Yong's mansion accompanied by Yinxiang as I wished, and Yinzhen walked in front of me not far away. The lantern in Gao Wuyong's hand shone with a faint light, and I looked at the illusory golden dragon behind his stone blue supplement, highlighting his status and reminding me of the distance from him.
The women and children who were sent to the garden by me in the early morning had already left, and the already not lively mansion was a little quieter than Yinxiang's Elder Brother's Mansion.
Walking to the door of the small courtyard, Yinxiang stopped, and I looked at him and Yinzhen who stopped in front of us and turned back. Even if there are no other women in the house at this time, he still has to abide by this rule.
"Wait for me. I grabbed him by the arm, whispered, and ran to the backyard with the hem of my skirt. The creaking sound of the bottom of the pot was clear in the night, and I tried to stomp steadily with each step and ran in as fast as I could.
Rummaging through the baggage in the box, he heard the sound of the door, Yinzhen stood in front of the door of the inner room with his hands in his hands, the curtain shook behind him, and the wind blowing in shook the candle shadow.
He didn't say anything but watched me step on the stool, and I quickly turned my head and continued to rummage through the box as if I were in avoidance, almost burying myself in it.
The door was opened and closed again, and I stopped holding on to the edge of the box and slowly looked back to see that he was gone......
