Chapter 18: I'll Take You Away
"Have you ever liked me, loved me? Do you hate my fishtails? ”
It's been a month, and the question is still haunting Graniwin's mind, and after a month of recuperation, her body has regained her health. It was only left with dense wounds on the fish's tail, and those mottled wounds could not be concealed, even if they turned into human legs, there were also fine markings on the skin.
Lying in the warm water, his fingers gently rubbing his wounds, Graniwin's face was confused, and his mind was full of the scene when he asked Nanfeng if he loved him.
I remember that after hearing this question, Nanfeng just hugged her tightly, and blamed her angrily, blaming her for not questioning her feelings for her, blaming her for being cranky.
However, is it really my own crankiness? Graniwin smiled bitterly, but she didn't pierce the south wind, she indulged in his embrace, she emptied her mind, and just listened quietly to his accusatory words, and she believed him when he said yes.
This is the simple Graniwen, although it has been a while since she came to the human world, she is still so simple, and she gives all her trust to the people she loves.
With all the doubts and incomprehensions buried in Graniwin's heart, the matter was over, and life returned to the ordinary but extraordinarily warm it was before.
During his injury, Nanfeng was by Graniwin's side at all times, and the maids said that during his serious injury, his majesty took care of himself without undressing, although he did not see such a scene with his own eyes, but as long as he thought about it, Graniwin would laugh from his sleep.
Maybe everything before was just a misunderstanding, never saw the countess again, everything was so normal and so weird.
I thought this was the end of the matter, until she met Xuanqiu.
In a month's time, Xuanqiu was a lot haggard, his originally tall figure was also a lot thinner, and the cheekbones on his face had become prominent.
It wasn't the first time Graniwin had seen Xuanqiu, but it was the first time she had spoken to him.
"Are you okay?"
“”
"I haven't had time to see you, is he good to you?"
“”
This is the first time Graniwin has spoken to Hyunqiu, but only Hyunqiu is talking.
Graniwin looked at the man dressed as a warrior in front of her suspiciously, listening to Xuanqiu's inexplicable words of concern, she was even more puzzled in her heart, and couldn't help but ask out loud, "Do I know you?" ”
In just five words, Xuan Qiu trembled as if he had been struck by lightning, thinking that he really didn't seem to have much in touch with Granivan, everything was just his own wishful thinking, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
The already thin face and such a poignant smile suddenly exuded a desolate meaning.
Realizing that she might have lost her words, Graniwin scratched her head embarrassedly, at this time she did not look like a queen at all, like a little girl next door who said the wrong thing, and apologies followed.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really don't remember, do you know me?"
Hearing Graniwin's repeated apologies, Xuanqiu's heart was even more painful, his brows were deeply locked, he forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and a wry smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, he shook his head at Graniwen and said: "Queen Mother, you don't know me, I'm just an ordinary guard commander, I found you fainting in the bath that day and rescued you, I just happened to see you, so I asked about your body." ”
Hearing Xuanqiu's explanation, Graniwen's face changed drastically, she lost consciousness after falling into a coma, and the first person she saw when she woke up was Nanfeng, of course, she always thought that the person who saved herself was Nanfeng, and the person who guarded her was also Nanfeng, and the people around her also told her so.
And at this time, a guard commander actually told himself that he was the one who saved him at that time, could it be that Nanfeng had been deceiving himself all along?
"Nope! The person who saved me was Your Majesty, how could it be you!! Graniwin didn't hesitate at all, and even yelled at Xuanqiu a little uncontrollably.
As soon as she yelled, she sensed her gaffe, but she didn't explain anything, just looked at Xuan Qiu stubbornly, wanting to hear an approving answer from his mouth.
Seeing such an out-of-control Graniwin for the first time, and her hopeful eyes, Xuanqiu's heart became more and more bitter, his lower lip had been bitten by himself, and the thick smell of blood permeated his mouth, but he still couldn't hide the bitterness in his heart.
Nodding heavily, the dry words sounded: "That's right, it was His Majesty who saved you, and it was I who found out that you went to pass on Your Majesty!" ”
Hearing Xuanqiu's approval, Graniwin changed from a fried-haired cat to a docile rabbit, she smiled at Xuanqiu and whispered, "I knew that it must be him, it must be Nanfeng who saved me!" ”
Looking at such a Graneven, Xuanqiu was even more painful, he said goodbye to Graniwen and left, the whole person was confused, without a trace of anger.
Looking at Xuanqiu's departing back, the smile on Graniwin's face faded, and she sat on the ground with her legs limp and collapsed.
When he saw Xuanqiu's face and expression just now, Graniwin knew that what he was saying at the beginning was the truth, and what he said later was only a lie made up to comfort himself.
Her heart is very troubled, what is going on with all this? Everything has changed since that day, and it has become so strange!
Graniwin stumbled back to his dormitory, which was still empty, sitting at the dresser, silly waiting for the south wind to appear.
At nightfall, the south wind came, and looking at Graniwin, who looked a little wrong, he took her directly from behind in his arms.
"What's wrong? Looking sullen? The warm words rang directly in Graniwin's ears.
At this point, Graniwin was no longer attached to this warmth, she broke Nanfeng's hand, turned around, and looked at him with a straight face.
Seeing Graniwin's serious expression, Nanfeng also put away his smile and looked at her seriously, waiting for her next step.
"That day, that day"
"What was that day?" Unable to resist Graniwin's slurping, Nanfeng asked impatiently.
Sensing the displeasure of the south wind, Graniwin still mustered up the courage to ask his inner question: "Did you save me that day?" ”
"Why do you ask this, it's been so long!"
"I want to know !! way"
"Is this important? Aren't you out of trouble, and isn't it the same who saved you? As long as you're okay! ”
"It's important!! I want to know the truth! ”
"It was Commander Xuanqiu who saved you!"
"Sure enough," Graniwin let go of his grip on the south wind, smiled misleadingly, and lowered his head deeply.
"What's wrong?" The south wind said unpleasantly.
"And where were you when I was hurt? What are you doing? Raising his head and meeting the South Wind, Graniwin still asked the question that had been bothering him for a long time.
Hearing this question, Nanfeng's face changed drastically, straightened up, took a step back, and said lightly: "Why did you remember to ask this?" ”
"Can't you tell me?"
"Didn't I just take care of political affairs in my study at that time!" Nanfeng didn't like Graniwin's aggressiveness, and his voice became a little cold.
Hearing Nanfeng's answer, Graniwin actually smiled.
I often smile at the south wind, there is a happy smile, a shy smile, an angry smile, a helpless smile, but this time the smile is so alienated and desolate, it is a disappointed laugh.
Sansso's mind was also a mess, sharing the same memories with Graniwin, Sanssouci had already thought of herself as her, and her heart was bitter at this moment.
"You were in politics?" Looking at Nanfeng stubbornly, a mocking word followed, and the distrust slowly became in the words.
"Of course, what else can you do in the study besides dealing with political affairs?" In the face of Graniwin's questioning, Nanfeng retorted sternly, although his face was as usual, but only he knew how weak his heart was.
Ignoring Southwind's explanation, Graniwin stumbled back on his stool, leaving only a lonely back for Southwind.
"I still have some things to deal with today, the queen has a good rest, and I will come to see you tomorrow!"
Looking at Graniwin like this, Nanfeng also felt a little impatient, leaving a word and leaving without looking back.
Tomorrow, when is tomorrow, more than a month has passed, South Wind and Granivin are in a cold war, South Wind has never seen Granivin again, and Graniwin has never taken the initiative to find Southwind again, and the two have become the strangest people in the entire palace, and they both avoid each other.
There was an eerie atmosphere in the palace.
That day, Xuanqiu came, and he looked even more haggard than before, but his originally godless eyes were now brighter.
Faced with Xuanqiu's sudden visit, Graniwin was also puzzled, but she still received him.
In the hall of the queen's bedroom, at a wooden table, the two sat opposite each other.
The atmosphere was very dull, and Xuan Qiu had been staring at Grani Wen without saying a word since he came in, and the maid next to him was also persuaded by Xuan Qiu to retreat.
Still Graniwin couldn't stand such a depressing atmosphere, and took the lead in speaking: "Is there something you came to me for?" ”
Zhilu said that Xuanqiu was the one who saved him, and Graniwen's tone was very friendly.
"Is he good to you?"
“”
"Do you love him?"
“”
Graniwin was silent in the face of Xuanqiu's sudden question, she couldn't understand why the commander of the guards, who had only met once, kept asking her strange questions.
Graniwin's silence seemed to Xuan Qiu to be wronged, and he had heard about Nanfeng not coming to see her for a long time. As soon as he heard about it, he wanted to rush to Nanfeng's side and teach the man a lesson for her.
But he finally gave up on such a decision, he was a general, but not reckless, such a result not only did not gain anything for Graniwin, but would harm her, so he endured it, but also did something silently behind the scenes, so that Graniwin could still be an inviolable queen even if he was not favored.
Just when Graniwin was silent, Xuanqiu suddenly stood up, half-knelt in front of her, looked at her affectionately, and looked at her with a very solemn expression, as if he was going to do a sacred thing, and asked word by word:
"If you're not happy, can I take you away?"
