67. vindictive
The sky is getting white, and the finches that have come out early to forage for food begin to chirp in the branches. Yan Xu, who had been sitting all night, finally opened his eyes, he hadn't slept all night, his eyes were faintly blue, and his eyes were as deep as water.
Yan Xu stepped out of the study, stood under the porch and looked up at the lantern hanging under the porch. A dead leaf didn't know when it stuck to the lamp wall, Yan Xu's eyebrows frowned slightly, stepped forward and brushed the dead leaf away, and slowly traced his fingertips along the two small daylily flowers on the lamp wall, and then slowly left.
Every day at this hour, he would go to his father to say goodbye, and today is no exception.
Maybe it was because he slept last night, Rui Wang got up later than usual today, and when Yan Xu came, he was still having breakfast. King Rui motioned for Yan Xu to eat together, and Yan Xu only stood meekly on one side and scooped a bowl of anchovy soup for him, "Father use it slowly, and the child is not hungry." ”
Rui Wang didn't force him, he likes to eat fish, especially fish soup. A bowl of hot and delicious fish soup was put down, King Rui took the handkerchief of the maid on the side, carefully wiped the corners of his mouth, and said in a manly voice: "People in the world often regret that the anchovies are spiny and the begonias are fragrant." Although the anchovy is tender and delicious, it has many spines that make it difficult to enjoy, so it has to be used to make soup. There are many helpless things in the world, but what makes people regret is how prickly the anchovy is? However, some people have some things that are destined to be unfathomable in this life, even if you are persistent and unwilling, in the end it will only be helpless. Jinyun, you are a person who has achieved great things, Kunpeng spreads his wings for thousands of miles, how can he be trapped in a square inch because he has lost a feather, and abandon the vast sky. ”
Yan Xu's expression was as usual, as if he didn't understand the meaning of his words at all, "Since my father loves to eat anchovies, my son ordered someone to find a cook who can remove fish bones, and you can eat as much as you like." ”
King Rui glanced at him lightly, and his tone became cold and hard, "Is an anchovy without spines still an anchovy?" ”
He only smiled, "This is also a child's filial piety." ”
Seeing that he still looked like he didn't eat oil and salt, King Rui was angry, but he didn't want to have a seizure at this time, so he only said: "Your mother wrote to me, I miss you very much, especially your marriage, she has always been in poor health, and she has often felt dizzy in the past two years. ”
Yan Xu didn't answer, and put a crystal bun in his bowl. King Rui didn't mean to eat anymore, and said, "I heard that Fuxi's gossip was stolen yesterday, what are you going to do?" ”
Yan Xu lowered his eyes, "No, if it's gone, it's gone." ”
King Rui's eyes sharpened, and he looked at Yan Xu coldly. King Rui was made the crown prince as soon as he was born, although he was low-key and endured for many years, but the majesty of the person in power on his body did not diminish at all, and at this time, his cold eyes were swept away, and the atmosphere suddenly became solemn. He waved his hand, and the two maids on the side who didn't dare to come out suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly retreated.
"How? What do you mean by this? ”
Yan Xu raised his eyes and met King Rui's gaze expressionlessly, "Father, I made it very clear before, I want it in the world, but there are ten ways to ...... I don't want to. Fuxi gossip is gone, I don't care. Whoever wants it can take it. ”
Saying that he doesn't care is actually false, that's just the angry words of King Yingrui. Although he decided to give up the Ten Strategies, he knew that there were not many people in the world who wanted to get the Ten Strategies, and they were like ghosts hiding in dark corners, and they would jump out and cause trouble to the world if they were not careful. Fuxi gossip can only be relieved if he is in his own hands.
Back then, because of Gu Xiyue's incident, he had always had an unrelieved resentment towards Yili in his heart, but reliving his life, he saw it very clearly in his heart, the reason why he hated Yili was actually that in the final analysis, he hated himself. Knowing that she didn't love him, he still forcibly married her, always thinking that as long as he married her, with his talent and family strength, he would definitely be able to make her happy. However, as soon as his father spoke, he personally let her wither in his own hands. It was he who ruined her, if she hadn't met him, she would have lived the life of an ordinary woman, married Yili, had children, although she was not rich and rich, but at least she was safe and healthy.
He hated himself, but subconsciously vented this resentment on Yili, this resentment has become a habit, even if he is reborn, he still can't stop there. So he still waited until Yili sent Fuxi gossip before telling him how to save Gu Xiyue. That day, he whipped the horse fiercely, and when he watched the carriage carrying Gu Xiyue leave his sight, the obsession he had been holding on for many years was finally relieved.
After getting Fuxi's gossip, he wanted to destroy it immediately to prevent future troubles, but after thinking about it, he held back, thinking about taking Xuan'er back one day, and then destroying it in front of her or letting her destroy it with her own hands, which was more convincing than he swore how much he loved her.
Unexpectedly, a mistake in his thought turned out to be a big mistake, he naturally did not allow Fuxi to gossip outside, he just intended to respond to King Rui. King Kerui didn't know what he was thinking, and when he heard this, he was furious, "I thought you had thought it through these days, but I didn't expect your vision to be so shallow, and you couldn't see anything in your eyes except for that mountain woman!" You're amazing! I Yan Xiaotang doesn't have a son like you who can't help the wall! ”
Yan Xu stood silently, his eyes drooped slightly, and there was a sarcastic eye wave in his eyes, he had several wives and concubines, but he only gave birth to one son, and there was no son of him, unless he had another one.
King Rui clicked his fingers a few times, gritted his teeth and said: "I sue you, I don't care what you think in your heart, no matter what means you use, on the day of extreme yin, I want to see you appear in the ten directions with Fuxi gossip." ”
King Rui has a fire in his heart, but he doesn't want to turn his face with his son at this time, after all, in extraordinary times, they still have to be unanimous with the outside world. He held back his anger, got up and walked out, and paused at the door again, "Also, Hua Yuan can only marry into the Rui Wangfu, you should prepare well." ”
Yan Xu's hands couldn't help clenching, and his eyes, which were still with a hint of mockery, suddenly turned cold, but after a while, he suddenly smiled and said: "Father is right, Hua Yuan married into the Rui Wangfu and joined forces with Ping'an Hou, it is indeed beneficial and harmless, the child knows it, and he will definitely prepare well." ”
King Rui was slightly stunned, the fire in his heart had finally disappeared, and he snorted coldly and walked away.
"As long as you find comfort, you will be summarily executed." This was the first thing he had told Yun Wen after he came out of King Rui's house.
Yun Wen didn't sleep all night last night, and he was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he was about to ask if the Bliss Pill wouldn't come back? But when he looked up and saw Yan Xu's cold and deep eyes and gloomy face, his mind suddenly cleared up. After following Yan Xu for so many years, ranking first among the four major guards of Yunwei, he has always been bold and careful in doing things, and he knows Yan Xu's thoughts very well.
Miss Ye was captured by the Ming Yan Division, which was naturally the instruction of King Rui, but as a son, the son of the world could not tear his face with his father openly, and the Ming Yan Division was the left arm and right arm of King Rui, and cutting off his left arm and right arm was the most direct revenge of the prince against him. Those hundred Bliss Pills, not to mention that An Yi didn't hand them over, even if he was willing to come out, the prince would destroy them without hesitation, Yun Wen was very glad that he didn't ask just now.
Yan Xu paused, and said, "Also, what I told you that day, I will do it today." ”
