Chapter 267: Sick Emperor and Grandson (23)
This cousin is the niece of the crown princess, and I heard that both her family background and appearance are top-notch. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It seems that the crown princess intends to promote the marriage between this young lady and Chu Yuan.
It seems so...... It's Chu Yuan's best choice!
Xia Ling didn't know how he walked back to Zhou Quan'an's sickbed, and he didn't know when he had a wooden basin in his hand, with warm water and a cloth towel in it.
Pushing open the door, Chu Yuan's tall back came into view.
Xia Ling didn't know if he was dyed by the heat, or if his eyes were already full of tears, in short, the hot tears were falling in the basin of water.
She hurriedly put the basin on the wooden frame, raised her hand to wipe away her tears, soaked the cloth towel and wrung it out, and walked to Zhou Quan'an's side.
Chu Yuan just stood there from beginning to end, and when he saw Xia Ling walking to the edge of the collapse, he raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you let someone do these things?" ”
"Senior Brother Fifteen was injured for me, and I should take care of him."
"In that case, then you're all here to protect me." Chu Yuan reached out and snatched the cloth towel in her hand, and actually helped Zhou Quanan wipe his face in person.
Xia Ling looked at the not very skillful movements, and showed a bitter smile again, how could she not know her lover, he would rather suffer by himself than let her get too close to Zhou Quanan.
He was still her domineering and possessive lover.
"Your Highness." Xia Ling unconsciously looked at his back and couldn't help but let out a soft call.
Chu Yuan finished doing this before he turned to look at her, "What?" Can't wait to say what you want to say to me? ”
Xia Ling then remembered that today she was going to confess to him the fact that she was a daughter.
But now, she can't help but want it.
"I have something to say to you." Xia Ling nodded.
"Let's go out and talk." Chu Yuan strode out with his hands in his hands.
The two were silent for a while, and unconsciously walked under the pear tree in the prince's mansion.
"Your Highness......"
"What? Do you know that I am called Your Highness? Isn't it quite smooth for you to scream one by one? Chu Yuan seemed to be joking.
"I ......"
Xia Ling looked at him, and it was difficult to talk about it after all......
"What are you?" Chu Yuan took a step closer, "Next time a sword stabs me, hide behind me, don't block the sword with your body, you know?" ”
When Xia Ling heard him say this, his body and mind were shocked.
Although this sentence was the first time she had heard it from Chu Yuan's mouth, it was not unfamiliar.
Xia Ling just didn't expect that when the lovers in this world said this, it was when they were drifting apart.
Xia Ling clenched her fists tightly and bit her tongue fiercely, salty blood filled her mouth, which also made her more vigilant.
She made a courtesy to Chu Yuan that seemed very distant at this time, "Your Highness, I am your personal guard, and protecting Your Highness is what your subordinates should do." ”
"You ......" Chu Yuan looked at her respectful appearance, feeling really angry and funny.
But when his little seventeen said the following words, he only felt that there was only a flame burning in his chest.
"Your Highness, my subordinates have a matter that I ask Your Highness for forgiveness."
"What's the matter?"
"Just now, my subordinates accidentally glimpsed your cousin's true face, and I accidentally took a second look."
"Cousin?"
"My subordinates feel that you and your cousin are really a match made in heaven. So ......"
"So what?" Chu Yuan glared at him, and his pale emerald green eyes seemed to be about to burn with flames.
"Therefore, His Royal Highness should complete the marriage with your cousin as soon as possible, and it is a matter of the crown princess." Xia Ling didn't know how much effort it took to say this sentence completely.
"So...... That's what you want to say to me today? Chu Yuan was still staring at her tightly, his gaze as sharp as a sword.
"Right...... That's right. Your Highness...... I think of the ...... on the Dragon and Tiger Mountain"
"Presumptuous!" Chu Yuan suddenly roared angrily, "You are just one of my shadow guards, who gave you the courage to take care of my private affairs." ”
"Your Highness, it's your subordinates who have overstepped it." Xia Ling made another royal salute to Chu Yuan, and when he raised his head again, he only saw Chu Yuan's departing back.
It wasn't until his back disappeared that Xia Ling sat on the cold ground, and a gust of wind blew through, blowing down the petals of the trees, blowing her whole body like falling into an ice cave.
She suddenly remembered a song about pear blossoms she had learned in the modern world, and couldn't help humming it: "Laughing at the world, there are thousands of fools, it is rare to see the white head and the same family, who is playing the peach blossom with a human face, it is difficult to see the old people in the passage of time, the old twilight reflects a new face, and who dares to speak out about the pain of lovesickness." The fragrance of pear blossoms makes people feel sad, sad and heartbroken, a thousand cups of wine to relieve thinking, don't forget the old people and the new look, and miss the hometown......"
By the end of the song, she was already in tears.
She had just persuaded her lover to marry another woman.
So in the next life, will he still remember her?
Wiping away his tears, Xia Ling finally stood up from the ground.
She is Xia Ling, even if she didn't establish a relationship with her lover in the previous worlds, didn't she come over and complete the task the same?
She just wants Chu Yuan to be safe......
This is destined to be a sleepless night, Xia Ling sat on the side of Zhou Quan'an's sickbed, holding a wine bottle in his hand, and poured the peach blossoms in it into his mouth one by one.
And Chu Yuan sat at the table, holding the wine glass in his hand, and raised his head one by one to drink all the jars of wine.
He had thought that this would make the feeling of tightness in his chest disappear......
======
Two years seem to have passed in a flash.
In the past two years, a lot of things have happened, but Xia Ling's thoughts always stayed on that day, and Chu Yuan's resolute back haunted her mind almost all the time.
In the past two years, although she is still Chu Yuan's shadow guard, she often does things outside, and rarely meets Chu Yuan.
In the past two years, she and Chu Yuan have met a few times, but they are relatively silent.
Originally, the marriage between Chu Yuan and his cousin Zhang Huajin had been decided, but the emperor of the Great Chu State died, so Chu Yuan, as the grandson of the eldest emperor, had to keep filial piety for three years, and the marriage was delayed.
And the original crown prince, who is Chu Yuan's father, inherited the throne, but now the crown prince's position has not been decided.
On this day, in the court of the Great Chu State, many imperial histories wrote one after another, asking the current saint to appoint Chu Yuan, the eldest son of the emperor, as the crown prince.
But now, on the grounds that Chu Yuan is still young and needs to be trained, he asked him to personally lead the troops to repel the Tartars who have often come to attack recently outside Shilipo.
Ten mile slope?
When Xia Ling heard this place, he felt a faint uneasiness in his heart.
In his previous life, didn't Chu Yuan just die in Shilipo?
