Chapter Seventy-Three: A Moment of Warmth
Yuan Tingguo was about to go out after speaking, Huangfu Jing wanted to pull her, but he fell to the ground due to lack of physical strength, Yuan Tingguo turned back in shock, and before she could react, Huangfu Yehan outside the door had already heard the sound and rushed in.
Huangfu Yehan helped his father to the chair and sat down, turned around and yelled at the stunned Yuan Tianguo: "My father is seriously ill, can't you talk to him for a while!" β
Yuan Tianguo was completely shocked by the scene just now, and he forgot to refute it for a while in the face of this stepson's reprimand. Huangfu waved his hand and motioned for everyone else to go out: "Ye Han, you go back first, I still have something to say to the queen." β
Huangfu glanced at Yuan Tianguo with dissatisfaction, and angrily took Luo Ziqi and others out to wait. Everyone came out, and the anger still didn't go down, and Huangfu pulled out his sword in the cold night and slashed at the railing, and after the cut was not enough, he kicked the broken parts down. Everyone had never seen the prince get so angry, and they didn't dare to come forward to persuade him.
Everyone focused on Luo Ziqi, and everyone expected it, and Luo Ziqi had to persuade him: "Your Highness, Queen Yuan's temper is like that, and I heard that a pregnant woman has a temper that is more irritable than a tiger, don't worry too much about her!" β
Huangfu Yehan didn't pay attention to his words, just looked at the sunset that was about to sink in the sky, and asked himself for a while: "You say, will he die?" β
He remembered that his father was a hero who would never fall down on a war horse and in a battle robe, but now, that hero was terminally ill and didn't even have the strength to chase a woman.
No matter what the deep hatred is, when the father and son reach the moment of life and death, there is no estrangement. No matter how much His Royal Highness hates King Ning, he is still afraid that his father will die. Luo Ziqi cautiously relieved: "His Majesty King Ning has been galloping the territory for so many years, he will definitely be able to survive this little illness, and His Royal Highness doesn't have to worry too much." "That being said, everyone knows that Huangfu Jing's life is not long in coming.
Huangfu looked at the sunset on the horizon and sank down little by little, there was a kind of heat welling up in his eyes, he closed his eyes tightly to prevent the heat from flowing out, he was the son of his father, the prince of Ningguo, the great responsibility of Ningguo was still on his shoulders, he couldn't be weak.
"When are you ...... Sick like this? Yuan Tianguo looked Huang Fu Jing up and down with suspicion in his eyes, trying to find out a few flaws in his bitter tricks to deceive her, and even walking became a problem, which was not like Huang Fu Jing's body.
Huangfu Jing comforted: "It's just a minor illness, it will be fine soon, you don't have to worry." Yuan Tingguo sneered a little uncomfortably: "What am I worried about? I'm just afraid that you'll pretend to be sick and deceive me again! β
"It's rare that you still remember me pretending to be sick and lied to you!" Huangfu Jing seemed to see some hope again, grabbed her watch and said, "One of the things I regret the most is that I didn't pretend to be sick for a little longer, good memories are like dreams, I woke up as soon as I got out of bed." β
Yuan Tianguo withdrew his hand and hit him coldly: "It's you who insist on breaking your dream, what is there to regret!" β
"Yes, I did it myself, and you should hate me." Huangfu Jing couldn't say a few words and relapsed into his old ways, and his words were sour, "I broke you up back then, I heard that Shangguan Jingwen hasn't married a concubine all these years, maybe it's just waiting for you, if you escape from here one day, look for him......"
"Snap" a slap smashed Huangfujing's vinegar jar, Yuan Tianguo got up angrily and said: "If you came to me just to count those Chen sesame rotten grains, then I already know what you say next, we have no need to talk about it at all, I will go back if it is convenient for your son!" β
"Dumping the country! I was wrong! Huangfu Jing hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab her, "I don't mention Shangguan Jingwen!" I mentioned it again without mentioning it, and was glared at by Yuan Tianguo, and Huangfu Jing didn't dare to say more obediently like a child.
Looking at Huangfu Jing's frightened face, Yuan Tianguo seemed to have returned to ten years ago, he was obviously more than ten years older than himself, but when she was angry, he looked at her like a child with a fearful face, pleasing her.
"Aren't you naΓ―ve to make such an expression at such an age?" Yuan Tianguo looked at him with disgust, but his eyes were unconsciously softened.
Huangfu Jing held Yuan Tianguo's hand and said affectionately: "I was naΓ―ve and wasted all these years in vain, if I had been soft on you early, maybe we wouldn't have to come to this point." "The biggest regret in his life is that he didn't put down his body and ask for her forgiveness back then, and now he will come to beg her again in his short life, will it be too late?
"It's time for me to go." Yuan Tianguo hurriedly got up to leave, and Huang Fujing knew that this was his last chance to ask her for forgiveness, so he held her hand tightly and refused to let go. "Dumping, I know it's wrong, I really know it's wrong, please forgive me!"
Except for the weakness that she couldn't control herself in her dreams, Yuan Tingguo hadn't cried for nearly ten years, but when she heard his voice begging for mercy at this moment, her tears fell uncontrollably.
"You asked me to forgive you, how do you ask me to forgive you? When I left with you, I didn't really love you, and the reason why I was willing to marry you was because your promise moved me. You said you would be my protector, that once you hold my hand, you will never let go, that you will love me, that you will believe in me, that you will never betray me, that you will not let anyone hurt me, but what is the result? What were you doing when Hu Linglong hurt me? You stand behind her and watch without saying a word how she hurts me! β
"I ...... I know it's wrong, I shouldn't believe you, I really know it's wrong! To this day, Huang Fujing no longer knows what else he can say when he apologizes.
"Do you know what you hurt me the most? It's silence, you've been silent, you promised me that you would be my protector, but you've been silent when you saw her hurting me! These words have been in Yuan Tianguo's heart for nearly ten years, but as soon as he said it, the pain that penetrated his heart was still the same as back then, and it was not alleviated by half a point.
Huang Fujing still only apologized, because he didn't know what else he could say except apologize. Back then, he was carried away by jealousy and would doubt her and ignore her, so that in the end he cooled her heart and could never warm it back.
"You and I have come to this point, you are at fault, I am also at fault, and our situation is even more wrong. I know that as a king and a husband you can understand your suspicions about me, but my heart still hurts, and that pain is not something that can be healed by saying that you are wrong, you know? To this day, Yuan Tingguo still feels heartache when he thinks of Huangfu Jing's silent expression at that time.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Huang Fujing was still apologizing. Yuan Tianguo sighed and said: "I have been waiting for you to say that you believe me, but I waited and waited, and when my heart was cold in the end, you never said." β
Yuan Tianguo squatted down, knelt on Huangfu Jing's lap, and said slowly for a long time: "I waited until today, and when I came to a sentence that you knew was wrong, it was finally in vain that I waited for you for nearly ten years." Huangfu Yehan wants to avenge his mother, you let him take revenge, my wish has been fulfilled, death is a relief, Huangfu Jing, goodbye! β
Yuan Tingguo got up and walked slowly out of the door, never looking back, and Huangfu Jing never stopped her, because he knew that his Yuan Tingguo would never come back......
