Chapter 70: Pain
Shenyue Haoqing's hand clenched and loosened, turned around and stopped looking at her, Li Anyue stayed for a while, and then left. Shenyue Haoqing heard her footsteps gradually walking away, although he wanted to turn around to look at her, but in the end, he just shook his body and didn't move again.
He knew that the queen would deliberately bring up this concubine tonight, and it was not without this situation before, but he rejected it, but this time, he wanted to cut off everyone's thoughts, he wanted to have only one person, and he wanted to give her a stable future, so he ordered someone to paint these things on his face, making himself unrecognizable, and even he felt a little unbearable when he saw it. Sure enough, everyone showed an unacceptable look on his face when they saw him.
Before this, he went to see her as Shen Yue, using his original appearance, but he didn't know if she liked him because she had a good-looking face.
In the Tianhua Palace, he took a special look at her.
The moment she lowered her head away from his gaze, he felt the loss.
Shenyue Haoqing was naturally able to understand her reaction, so he asked her if she felt that she looked ugly, and she said truthfully. He was a little stunned, but he was also glad that if she lied to him and was like everyone else, he would not think she was precious, and if she really said that she was no different from ordinary people, he might be disappointed in her. However, her sentence "Like everyone else, he loves beautiful people and things" made his heart sink to the bottom, in other words, if he is like this, then she will not like him, and naturally she will not be with him.
She was leaving, and he didn't leave her, but his heart followed her and he didn't know where to go, and maybe he would fall at the bottom of this deep lake.
He looked at the moonlit lake for a long time, but he didn't notice the footsteps behind him.
"It's cold at night, and the prince should pay attention to his body."
Shenyue Haoqing came back to her senses and turned to look at her: "This king thought you were gone." ”
Li Anyue handed over a cloak, "It was windy this night, and the slave thought that the prince might stay by this lake for a while, so she went back and got a cloak." ”
"In the main hall, why did you avoid the king's gaze?" Shenyue Haoqing didn't take the cloak, looked at her and asked.
Li Anyue didn't expect him to ask this question, and thought for a while, "The slave maid just felt that the prince's eyes were very similar to a person the slave maid knew, and she had something in her heart, so she couldn't help but look away, not that there was any disrespect for the prince's appearance." ”
Shenyue Haoqing's heart suddenly felt a little clearer, "People you know...... Is it someone you like? ”
"Someone who has been concerned in the past." Li Anyue sighed slightly, seeing that Shenyue Haoqing still hadn't taken the cloak, he stood on tiptoe to put the cloak on for him, Shenyue Haoqing saw her in front of him, felt her breathing, and held her in his arms.
"Lord Wang?" Li Anyue was shocked, and her first reaction was to push him away.
"Don't move, just for a while." Shenyue Haoqing hugged her tightly in his arms and said in a hoarse voice.
Li Anyue listened to his voice, sighed in her heart, and stopped moving, letting him hold her. "The prince and him look very different, but they are very similar in some places. The prince feels very cold, but sometimes it makes people feel warm. He is always smiling, but sometimes he gives people a sense of distance. Therefore, the slave and maid sometimes have some illusions about the prince, just like now, the smell of the prince and the smell of his body are the same as the fragrance of Qionghua. Li Anyue said in a low voice, sighed, and pushed him away, "But the prince is never him, and he is never the prince." ”
"Which one do you choose, this king or him?" Shenyue Haoqing wanted to confess his identity to her at this time, but reason still stopped him.
"It's getting late, the prince should hurry back to the house, and the slaves and maids should also go back to serve His Royal Highness the Twelve Princes." Li Anyue didn't answer him, nodded to him slightly after speaking, and turned to leave.
"What about the people who were concerned in the past?" Shenyue Haoqing asked before she left.
Li Anyue's footsteps stopped suddenly, "There are still worries now, but maybe after a while, this concern will disappear without a trace, and the past will always pass." ”
Shenyue Haoqing looked at her gradually disappearing figure, and secretly added in her heart, "This king will not let this kind of thing happen, it will not become a thing of the past, and it will not disappear." ”
Shenyue Haoqing stayed by the lake for a long time, wearing the cloak sent by Li Anyue, and his eyes kept falling on the lake, until he slowly walked out of the palace when the willows were on the moon.
When it was almost time, the banquet ended hastily in a gradually cold atmosphere, and everyone went back to their homes.
"The imperial brother seems to be very dull tonight since the fourth imperial brother left." Shenyue Haoxuan slowly stood up and said to Shenyue Haotian.
"The second brother was silent a lot."
Shenyue Haoxuan smiled, and smiled at Qin Shiyu again, "The imperial sister-in-law is really dressed up today, the imperial brother is really blessed!" ”
Qin Shiyu glanced at the moon and the sky, her face was slightly red, "The second prince said that he laughed, how could he think that other women were beautiful in the eyes of a beauty like the second princess by the second prince's side." ”
Shenyue Haoxuan seemed to laugh uncontrollably, Yuwen Yun didn't want to deal with him, his eyes looked at Shenyue Haotian from time to time, but Shenyue Haotian deliberately didn't look at her. "The princess doesn't seem to be in too much interest today?" Shenyue Haoxuan saw her absent-minded appearance, so he hugged her slender waist.
Yu Wenyun frowned and wanted to remove his hand, "Second prince, please let go, there are still many outsiders here." ”
"What are you afraid of, since you are my concubine, what should I do?" Shenyue Haoxuan didn't let go, but instead leaned closer and sniffed her hair vigorously, which made Qin Shiyu and Lin Lin couldn't help but blush.
"Then the prince will not disturb the second brother's Yaxing, and he will take Yu'er and Lin'er back to the palace first." Shenyue Haotian frowned slightly, and led the two concubines out.
Shenyue Haoxuan looked at the figures of the three of them leaving, leaned into Yu Wenyun's ear and said, "It seems that your lover's heart is no longer there." ”
Yuwen snorted coldly and shook off his hand, "What are you going to do here?" ”
Shenyue Haoxuan was not angry, and still took her back to his side with a smile, "You are my imperial concubine, a married woman, but you have been staring at another married husband at the banquet, where do you put your Highness's face like this?" ”
Yu Wenyun didn't avoid him this time, but showed a bewitching smile, "Why, I thought you only had that slut in your heart, and you would care what I did?" ”
The movements of the two were like a pair of lovers whispering, and the eunuchs and palace maids who were cleaning up had to stay away and watch with their spare eyes, secretly thinking about the love of the prince and the princess.
Shenyue Haoxuan smiled, and his eyes were instantly full of danger, "Your Highness remembers that you are not allowed to say such things, otherwise don't blame Your Highness for not giving you a good life." ”
Yu Wenyun was not frightened by him, and smiled coldly, "From the moment you took me away from Haotian, you ruined my good life, what else would I be afraid of you." ”
"Don't forget why you married me!"
"It was one of the worst decisions I've ever made in my life, and how could I have forgotten. But don't forget, a dog will jump off a wall when he's in a hurry, a rabbit will bite when he's in a hurry, and a woman may do something if she's in a hurry. ”
Shenyue Haoxuan's hand holding her slender waist couldn't help but increase her strength, and there was a hint of threat in her tone, "You dare?" ”
Yu Wenyun couldn't help frowning in pain, a drop of cold sweat was left on the corner of his forehead, and his already red lips were bitten more vividly, but he still didn't change his mocking tone, "Heh, then you can try it." ”
Shenyue Haoxuan snorted coldly, then let go of her and walked away. Yu Wenyun couldn't support it for a moment and sat down on the ground, and the little palace maid nearby hurriedly came over and carefully helped her up.
Yuwen ordered someone to call a sedan chair to return to the palace, and Qing Xia, the maid who was guarding the palace gate, saw her come back and hurriedly greeted her, "Imperial Princess, what's wrong with you?" ”
"It's okay, let's go inside." Yu Wenyun shook her head and took her arm back to the room.
As soon as she entered the room, she sent the other subordinates out and asked Qingxia to fetch medicine and water. The lights in the dormitory were a little dim, and there were only two candles lit in the huge room. She lay on the bed, and her outer garment was removed, revealing fair skin, with a distinctly bright red handprint on her lower back, and some faint or dark marks on her arms and other skin that was hidden under her clothes.
Qingxia saw that a new mark had been added to her body, and she couldn't help choking out, "Woo, Miss......"
"Okay, what's there to cry about, it's not the first time I've seen you, hurry up and take medicine and rest." Yu Wenyun frowned and reprimanded, and changed his face to stop looking at her.
"The slave just thinks that the young lady is too pitiful, and the second prince ......" Qingxia muttered and sat down to give her medicine.
Yu Wenyun interrupted her in annoyance, "Don't mention this person's name to me, it will make me want to kill him!" ”
Qingxia didn't dare to speak anymore, sobbing and helping her with medicine, sometimes the strength was heavier, causing Yu Wenyun to moan a few times, but he didn't reprimand, these pains were far less serious than the kind of damage he caused to her, these pains were just the body, but those pains were a piece of flesh in the heart, and they couldn't make up for the pain.
Good medicine, Yu Wenyun didn't put on clothes, Qingxia helped her put on the quilt, and the door opened with a "squeak" at this time, and a little girl with two small pills walked in with crooked steps.
"Mother." A milky cry.
Yu Wenyun couldn't help frowning when he saw her coming in, and his tone couldn't help but become irritable, "Qingxia, what about the nurse, why don't you take the little master to rest!" ”
"Yes! Little master, come, let's sleep, okay? Qingxia hurriedly picked up the little girl and walked out the door.
"No, Kiki wants a mother, Kiki doesn't want a wet nurse! Nope! Don't ......" The little girl cried and pushed and punched, but it didn't stop her from being carried out.
Yu Wenyun finally couldn't hear her crying, and pulled the quilt over her head. The wind blew in through the window, blowing out the candles, and the moonlight found the bed, shining the shadows of the leaves above, and shaking with the wind.
