Chapter 221: The Princess Loses Ground (1)
Perhaps the rain of last night has not yet fallen, after noon, the sky is faint again, whispering, lonely, under the mahogany eaves of the pavilion, occasionally a few places, slowly sliding down a little bit of water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The princess was dressed in a delicate and luxurious long purple robe, her long hair was gently pulled up, decorated with a few lilac pearl hairpins, her face was painted with chic red makeup, and her long and curved eyelashes trembled gently, but the pupils under the eyelashes were empty and dazed.
She sat sideways by the koi pond, surrounded by lingering sadness, and now she is still wearing heavy makeup, enchanting and charming, but that majestic and noble momentum is nowhere to be found.
Sometimes, power and fame are just nothing, maybe today they are majestic and commanding, maybe tomorrow...... Everything is empty.
How far back is it from ancient times to the present day? Between talking and laughing.
How far is it from life to death? Between breaths.
How far is it from confusion to enlightenment? In a thought.
How far is it from sleep to wake? Between the opening of the eyes.
How far is it from love to hate? Between heartbreaks.
Oss wore an inky velvet jacket with a white velvet collar edge and a dark gold pattern embroidered on the wide sleeves that hung down.
At this time, his steps were steady, and he slowly walked behind the princess, and he stood condescendingly and coldly.
The water rippled slightly, reflecting Oss's majestic and upright body, and the princess's wandering gaze suddenly shrank when she touched the reflection in the sparkling water.
"The princess is really interested, in such a vague weather, she also wants to go to the lotus pond to enjoy the carp." Oss said lazily, his purple eyes deep and cold.
"Sometimes, fish is like people, whether the weather is good or bad, whether the mood is good or bad, it needs someone to take care of it." Lina looked at a pool of clear water with a faint expression, and her eyes were not sidelined, and she was very attentive to the past.
Oss was such an insightful person, he naturally understood the deep meaning of her words, but he didn't want to dwell on such a topic at all, "I have given you so long, have you repented?" ”
The princess sneered and repeated his words: "Repentance? I felt a little remorseful...... The past few days have been in my dreams, all about the past. ”
Oss stood with his hands in his hands and said in a deep voice, "Then let's talk about it?" ”
There was a touch of bitterness and desolation on Linna's lips, "I think back to my younger self, I always like to hide in the farthest corner, silently watching you...... I also dreamed that on the day when I was out of the pavilion, the weather was very cold, and I was wearing a long golden neon dress, and my hands hidden in the wide sleeves, no matter how I held them, they were still cold. ”
"The sun was not warm that day, but with an orange-red halo, and your long figure stood against the light, and your face was like an engraving...... All I have to do is take a look, and it's hard to look away. She stretched out her fair and delicate right hand and gently stirred with some cold water in the pool, "Many times, I think about the bits and pieces of getting along with His Majesty before falling asleep......"
She probably knew better than anyone the extent of her relationship with Os, and the reason why she said this was that she hoped to impress him with affection, and hoped that he would continue to maintain her position as Princess Loilay for the sake of her old friendship with her, or her noble status in the Carter family.
Oss seemed to be listening to something completely unrelated to him, the expression on his face did not change at all, but the hatred in his heart was a little more, "I didn't come here to see your acting skills, put away your overflowing emotions, I didn't let you think about this!" ”
Os's cold words without the slightest mood swing immediately poked Linna's sore spot.
Sadness and despair suddenly froze on her delicate face, and she stood up suddenly, "Then what do you make me think, do you want you to be indifferent, heartless, and blind to me?" ”
Os's face was gloomy, and his eyes were condensed, "I think of the unscrupulous, ruthless and vicious you used to be!" ”
The princess raised her eyes to look at him, her white teeth looming between her red lips, and she asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, is this how you treat your hair-tied wife?" ”
He snorted coldly, with a cold and contemptuous mockery in his words, "What about you? Haven't you really done anything vicious? ”
The princess's hair was blown by the wind, and together with the pale golden shoulder veils on her arms and wrists, there was a different kind of pure beauty, "Just ask, how can a person who rises and falls in this power not do anything wrong?" The concubines think about Your Majesty everywhere, even if they do something wrong, they are all for Your Majesty to eradicate dissidents and consolidate Your Majesty's royal power! ”
Oss's eyes immediately narrowed slightly, narrow as a blade, his fingers were cold, pinching Linna's chin, forcing her to look up at him, "Is that true?" Is it to consolidate my royal power, or to consolidate your Carter family's concubineship? ”
The princess clenched the handkerchief in her hand tightly, her fingers were cold and unwarm, she pursed her lower lip tightly, knowing that she was trembling inexplicably, "As a dignified princess of Roylai, how could the concubine do unkind and unjust things?" ”
Os's fingers pinching her chin suddenly became stronger, and he asked with an awe-inspiring coldness, "What about the fire in Tangli Palace?" ”
The princess's bright face suddenly lost color, and her mouth slowly chewed these three words, "Tang, pear, palace." ”
A touch of slaughter flashed across Os's cold face, and his voice was like a ghost, "Why, so much time has passed, has Princess Lina forgotten?" ”
The princess's emotions seemed to become a little excited, and she flatly denied it: "What does that fire have to do with the concubines? ”
Oss shook off his restraint on her in disgust, and shouted angrily, "Isn't it your father, Prince Carter? ”
The princess's pale face showed a look of struggle, and she tried her best to straighten her back and said: "There is no excuse for the crime you want to add, since Your Majesty has already recognized the guilt of the concubine, what is it to confront me?" ”
Oss snorted coldly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "I just want to hear you explain the truth of the matter." ”
The princess's smile was full of mockery and irony, but after seeing Os's cold and detached eyes, there was a kind of heartache, "Your Majesty already dislikes the concubine, you want to get rid of me, so that that spirit demon can sit in the position of the princess of the medical clan......"
Os's eyes darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Who will be the next princess, you don't have to worry about it!" ”
The tears on the princess's face were like rain, and she said sadly: "It's nothing more than 'the cunning rabbit dies and the lackey cooks, and the birds hide their bows'...... I can do that, and so can it! She said with a rainbow in her eyes, her expression already becoming hideous and resentful.
Oss pursed his lips tightly, with a grim expression, "What you should worry about the most now is yourself!" ”
