Chapter 90: After a Lonely Night
"What are you doing!" Yuan Chengcheng endured all the way back to the palace before venting, "Huangfu saved my life in the cold night, but you treat him so coldly, is this the attitude that our Huaguo should have to repay the benefactor who saved his life?" ”
"It's not that the slave forgot King Ning's life-saving grace, it's that the princess forgot the purpose of our trip!" Hongchan said reproachfully, "Did the princess forget, the princess's sister is still in his hands, life and death are unpredictable, the crown prince of Hua is undecided, and the grandson of the king is banned in the palace of King Ning, the princess doesn't want to rescue them to save the crisis of Huaguo but only thinks about the personal relationship with King Ning's children, is the princess doing the right thing?" ”
"Huangfu Ye Han will not kill his sister!"
"Did he say not to kill, or did you guess not to kill?"
"I ...... I'll ask him! Yuan Chengcheng couldn't say anything about her, so he stood up and was going to go to Huangfu Yehan to ask her clearly.
"Wait!" Although Yuan Chengcheng is the princess, she is more like a slave in front of Hongchan, Hongchan really didn't dare to leave, "If he doesn't agree, what will you do?" ”
"He won't say yes!" Although Yuan Chengcheng felt that Huangfu Yehan would not kill his sister, after all, it was based on her understanding of him, and there was no direct evidence, so it was still a little unbearable to scrutinize.
Hongchan sighed, pulled Yuan Chengcheng back, and said in a softened tone: "Maybe my attitude is a little eager, but those are all for the good of you and Hua Guo." Have you forgotten how those civil and military ministers forced you when Your Majesty was seriously ill? His Majesty's health is deteriorating, and we have withdrawn those people this time, but it is difficult to guarantee that they will be able to retreat next time. ”
"The position of the prince of Huaguo has not yet been decided, if the grandson of the king goes back to take power, it is okay to say, but if it is changed to a person like the prime minister's son, if he ......" Hongchan paused, and tried to change a lighter word, "Coveting the princess's beauty, what should you do?" ”
Yuan Chengcheng was silent. The last time the ministers forced her to become a prince, she still had lingering palpitations, if her father had an accident, she really couldn't control the situation in Huaguo. According to the practice of Huaguo, the new monarch succeeds to the throne, even the widow of the former king cannot escape the fate of filling in the new **, not to mention that she, the eldest princess who is not married, although she does not agree with Hongchan's radical approach, but the problem in front of her Hongchan is indeed more far-reaching than she thought.
"Actually, before I came, His Majesty summoned me, and the princess should know what he meant better than me," Hongchan pondered the intimacy between Huangfu Yehan and Yuan Chengcheng tonight, and asked, "If the princess can marry into Ningguo, it will not be a good thing for the Yuan family, but Huangfu Yehan is still willing to keep the contract for the things agreed at the beginning?" ”
Yuan Qingcheng was silent, not like the two had already talked about marriage. Hongchan frowned: "He didn't want to, or didn't you ask him?" She looked at the meaning of Huangfu Yehan, and seemed to intend to consolidate her power through marriage, it was unrealistic to marry only one of Yuan Chengcheng, but it shouldn't be a problem to make her the queen.
"He didn't say it, I didn't ask, and I didn't want to ask," Yuan Chengcheng was upset by her headache, "I don't want to marry at all." ”
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hongchan looked at her with some annoyance, "When I was in Huawang Palace, I felt that you were a lot more mature, why did you become childish again when you arrived here?" Although Hongchan trained her like this, there was a faint uneasiness in her heart, Yuan Chengcheng may be a little childish sometimes, but when she said that she didn't want to marry, her expression didn't look like a momentary mood, did she really have other ideas in her heart?
In the face of her question, Yuan Chengcheng was still silent. Hongchan grew up with her, and she has always regarded her as a sister, what is on her mind is not that she wants to deliberately hide Hongchan, but that Hongchan sometimes always gives her a feeling of a different world, and the thoughts in her heart Hongchan is not simply disagree, but simply incomprehensible. So sometimes she would rather wait for Shangguan Jingxuan to come and talk to him than explain a few more words to Hongchan.
The changes between the two countries in Huaning have been pressing on her heart like a stone, and she can't breathe, she doesn't know how to face the cold night of Huangfu, how to face the crisis of Huaguo, and she even once wished that she was dead.
But when she was really hovering on the edge of life and death, she deeply understood what she wanted most in this life. She loves Huangfu Yehan, and she is destined to be inseparable from the world of Huangfu Yehan in this life, but that kind of love has nothing to do with marriage or not, all she wants is the feeling of love and belonging when he carries her on his back, not to get a phoenix crown jade seal from him that can determine her status in her life.
She came back from the edge of life and death, feeling that all the things that suppressed her were gone, she seemed to have returned to the time when she first met Huangfu at night, and that feeling of first encounter also made her think that all problems could be slowly solved, but Hongchan dragged her back to the heavy world before she was in distress, making her understand that there are still many things that cannot be solved.
finally sent Hongchan away, Yuan Chengcheng lay on the bed thinking about those things in Huaguo, and couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so he simply got up and went to the Ning Palace to walk around.
The moonlight poured out the brilliance of the ground, and the entire Ning Wang Palace was glowing with a kind of moon's white, and the Fengming Palace, which towered at the highest point of the entire Ning Wang Palace, although it was late at night, was still brightly lit and guarded. Yuan Chengcheng didn't know if the sister in the palace gate understood how sincere his love was when King Ning built the Fengming Palace for her, but she clearly read Huang Fujing's unique affection for her sister from this palace that was far higher than the entire Ning Wang Palace complex, or maybe her sister had already read it through, but resentment blinded her eyes, making her prefer to ignore it?
The sorrow of the court lies in the never-ending struggle and suspicion, she was born in the court and had no choice, but should she be like her sister and queen mother to devote the rest of her life to this never-ending silent killing? The life she longs for is nothing more than being able to lie on the back of her beloved and let him carry her on her back slowly, but this simple life has become the most unattainable luxury for the royal family.
Yuan Chengcheng wanted to talk to someone, but no one could listen to her about the depression in her heart. She suddenly remembered Shangguan Jingxuan, who was recalled to Anguo, he was like a mirror that allowed her to see many things in her heart that even she didn't know, but he was even more involuntary than her, under the control of that perverted brother everywhere, and he didn't know what year and month he would be able to be himself again.
Will he ever come back? Yuan Chengcheng didn't know, maybe even Shangguan Jingxuan himself didn't know. Thinking of Shangguan Jingxuan's plight of being controlled by others everywhere, the distress in Yuan Qingcheng's heart increased a little, she raised her head and sighed, only to find that Huangfu Yehan was standing on the high steps not far from her at some point and was looking at her.
