Chapter 184: After Establishment
Yuan Chengcheng glared at Yuan Xiao with a flirtatious face, but the latter's hand did not move at all, and the whole atmosphere fell into an eerie silence.
Yu Zigao had secretly clenched the big knife in his hand, and would defend the princess at any time if the situation suddenly changed. Hongchan's mind also turned a thousand times, thinking hard about the solution, but the disparity in strength between the two sides is huge, if it is a hard encounter, they must be the ones who suffer.
The two were in a stalemate for a long time, and Yuan Chengcheng finally had to compromise and give in: "Then please ask Your Majesty to lead the way in front......"
Obviously, Yuan Xiao didn't understand the meaning of "front" at all, Yuan Chengcheng's body was weak and couldn't stand on his feet, and he was supported by Hongchan all the way, but Yuan Xiao seemed to be weaker than Yuan Chengcheng's body, and the whole person almost leaned on Yuan Chengcheng's body.
"I still remember the first time I saw my aunt, my aunt was sitting in the main hall, peerless and brilliant, even the fairies in the sky may not be as beautiful as my aunt!" Yuan Xiao said with emotion, "At that time, my aunt was still high, and people didn't dare to look up, who would have thought that one day the lonely king would be able to walk side by side with his aunt in the palace of King Hua?" ”
"yes!" Yuan Chengcheng snorted coldly and said, "At that time, no one could have imagined that Yuen Long, who was only eight years old, would inexplicably fall into the lake and drown, and his elder brother, who used to be in the streets and brawls, would ascend to the sky in one step and become the king of Dahua, and no one could have imagined that Dahua, who could command the world with a single shout from the heights in the past, would one day become the target of the public, and the border vassals would regress step by step, and the prosperous capital of the past would also become the spoils of war hanging on the tip of the knife by all countries!" ”
"You!" Yuan Xiao was bent on seeking peace and wanted to get back on good terms with her, but Yuan Qingcheng not only did not appreciate it, but also sarcastically mocked him everywhere, Yuan Xiao was so angry that he couldn't care about those hypocritical masks, "The lonely king is condescending to you, and you don't know how to raise it!" The lonely king respects you aunt, you are the princess; If the lonely king doesn't recognize you, you are not even as good as the slave girl in Huanyi! ”
"Then you don't have to force yourself to recognize me as an aunt!" Yuan Qingcheng looked at Yuan Xiao hatefully, "If you have the ability, you will abolish me!" ”
"You, good! Good! Yuan Xiao said a few words "good", his chest rose and fell sharply, and suddenly he suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled Yuan Qingcheng into his arms unexpectedly, "Is your heart made of stone?" I do everything for you, why can't you see anything! ”
Yuan Chengcheng didn't expect him to suddenly make a move on her, coupled with the sudden fright, his face immediately lost blood, his chest rose and fell sharply, and he couldn't breathe.
"Let go of the princess!" Hongchan saw that Yuan Chengcheng's face was wrong, and hurriedly stepped forward to recapture Yuan Chengcheng, but was pushed away by Yuan Xiao, who had lost his mind.
"I warn you, I didn't come this time to ask for your consent, whether you want to or not, the Lone King has made up his mind, and he will make you the queen next month!" After Yuan Xiao finished speaking, he threw Yuan Chengcheng away, and walked out of the courtyard angrily.
Make her the queen? Hongchan looked at Yuan Xiao's back in shock, although she knew that Yuan Xiao had coveted Yuan Chengcheng for a long time, but Yuan Chengcheng was his aunt, as the king of a country, how dare he do such a perverse thing!
Hongchan slowly turned her head to see Yuan Chengcheng's reaction, but Yuan Chengcheng just had a miserable white face, his eyes were empty, his body was swaying in the wind, his white lips trembled, and it took a long time to make a few broken voices: "How can I ...... How could it be...... Stand ...... This kind of person ......"
"Princess!" In Hongchan's exclamation, Yuan Chengcheng fainted to the ground.
When Yuan Chengcheng woke up, it was late at night, the candles were flickering, and she was the only one in the empty hall.
"Hongchan, Hongchan!" Yuan Chengcheng shouted weakly, but unfortunately no one answered, so she had to slowly get up from the bed by herself, her head was still groggy and her limbs were very weak.
The unclosed window suddenly blew in a strong gust of wind, and several candles in the room were immediately blown out, and the whole room became even darker.
People are always more vulnerable when they are sick, and the memories of a certain year flood into their minds uncontrollably.
She seemed to be back to the night before the birthday banquet when she was injured, the person who was always hot and cold to herself unexpectedly appeared, and he always faintly flowed a little tenderness to her when he didn't even notice it, which was enough to make her unforgettable for a lifetime.
For countless nights after that, when the lights were dim, she always wondered if he would suddenly appear again when she didn't expect it. Just like the night before the birthday banquet, just like the night of the Shangyuan Festival, he is not the king who shoulders the rise and fall of the Ning Kingdom, and she is not a princess in the turmoil of the country. He's just the one who likes to tease her in the dark and take advantage of her, and she's just his princess......
It's a pity that no matter how much he waits and waits, he never comes again, just like the past that has gradually been sealed in his memory, for his Ning Guo, he has also sealed those former gentleness in the depths of his memory, and now she is left alone in the dim night, feeling sorry for herself......
What Yuan Xiao said during the day suddenly came to her mind again, and the strange thing was that she was no longer as distressed as she was during the day, and she was even a little numb to those words.
She is not suitable for politics, let alone the entire Huaguo, such things her father said, Huangfu Yehan said, even Hongchan said, and she herself has doubted it countless times, but only now did she really start to think, what is the meaning of her knowing that she can't be violated?
There is much help for the righteous, but little help for the unjust. With Yuan Xiao's virtue, it is only a matter of time before the country dies, she struggles, and in the end she is just delaying the time to lose the country. She can't change the destruction of a country, so what's the point of delaying it? The longer the war goes, the more it will only increase the suffering of the people.
"The virtuous live in it", perhaps what Huaguo needs most is not her struggle, but earlier stability!
"Hongchan!" Yuan Chengcheng has gradually had an idea in her heart, she must plan for Huaguo as soon as possible, "Hongchan! ”
Yuan Chengcheng called twice in a row, but unfortunately no one answered. Yuan Chengcheng was helpless, so he had to get up and get off the soft couch by himself and go to find her outside the hall.
Different from the dim lights of the main hall, the side hall is brightly lit, and the room is full of people in the dark, including generals, guards, palace maids, and chamberlains, all kinds of people. No wonder Hongchan couldn't hear her calling her, Yuan Qingcheng thought to himself, it's just that in the middle of the night, what are these people doing here?
