Chapter 68: Cannon Fodder
Why, after all her efforts, His Highness still doesn't like her? It is said that God rewards hard work, and hard work will pay off, but she got nothing but a broken heart. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Hot tears slid down the corners of her eyes, falling to the ground one by one, and moist flowers bloomed in front of Chen Mengdie's eyes.
I didn't expect Tian Zhuzhu, who is arrogant and rude on weekdays, to have such a fragile side, Chen Mengdie was lying under the dusty table, and she could see her sad appearance through the gap between the tablecloth and the ground.
"Your Highness, there is a sentence that I have always buried in my heart and not said, I don't say it because I am afraid that saying it will make you and me sad." Tian Pearl lowered her eyes, looking at the moon cake crushed by her with teary eyes, and her thoughts drifted to three years ago.
At that time, she had not yet left the cabinet, and her sister Tian Zhenming was already a princess with infinite beauty.
Tian Zhenming is a happy woman, she not only has an identity, but also has the favor of the prince, and fortunately, she is pregnant.
Just when everyone was full of joy, a bad news befell this woman like a thunderbolt from the sky.
Tian Zhenming had a difficult birth, and the fetus in her womb was not saved, and before she died, she held Chu Ziyu's hand and pleaded: "Your Highness, help me take care of my sister, promise me to treat her well for the rest of my life." ”
After saying this, she died.
A year later, Tian Pearl entered the palace and was quickly promoted, becoming the princess who made all the harem women blush.
It's just that Chu Ziyu is very indifferent to her, no matter how rude she is, he has never looked at her squarely.
"Your Royal Highness, what I want is not status, not a nominal princess," Tian Pearl under the light was a little less arrogant and more feminine, she turned her head to look at Chu Ziyu, her appearance was poignant and moving, and her words were sincere and sincere, "What I want is just your concern!" ”
What a simple and difficult request, she can't get all the effort she wants, and no matter how hard she doesn't want to fight for it, it's in vain.
Chen Mengdie couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when she heard her words, but what made her even more uncomfortable was the strange distress on Chu Ziyu's face.
"Your Highness, you once swore to my sister and swore to treat me well, do you say that those oaths are all lies?" Tian Pearl threw herself into Chu Ziyu's arms, and said with tears in her eyes, "Please, don't reject me again, don't push me away anymore, you will only make me more sad like this, because, because I love you!" ”
Chu Ziyu's body stiffened, he slowly looked down at the woman in his arms, his eyes were as deep as a pool, he couldn't refuse the other party's hug, her appearance, her tears reminded him of Tian Zhenming, the woman he loved deeply, but if she wasn't pregnant, everything that would have happened would not have happened, if it hadn't happened, maybe the two would have lived happily now.
He can't afford to repeat the mistakes of the past! Tian Zhenming's painful appearance lingered in his mind, Chu Ziyu woke up suddenly, he violently pushed Tian Zhu's body away, and said coldly: "No matter what, I won't like you, please leave!" ”
Under the dim light, one of the two moths to the fire, the other restrained and liked, such a picture is deeply moving.
Chen Mengdie suddenly understood that the reason why Chu Ziyu was so cold to Tian Pearl was not because he didn't like it, but because he liked it too much, he wanted to protect her from harm, so it didn't matter if this relationship was buried by the wind and sand, as long as the other party could live well.
If so, then what is she? Chen Mengdie only felt a warm feeling on her face, she raised her hand to wipe it, it turned out to be tears, why did she cry? She didn't know, but the thought of this possibility made her tears flow uncontrollably.
She remembered Chu Ziyu's love for her, in the heavy rain, he saved her life, and later, he visited Chen Gong for her, that night, the two merged together, and at that moment, she really thought that the two of them liked each other.
Chen Mengdie, Chen Mengdie, you are so stupid, do you really think he likes you? Wake up, before you dive in.
"I won't leave you," Tian Pearl lay on the ground like a wounded bird, "I'll wait, keep waiting." ”
She lifted her vague teary eyes, her gaze steadfast, and just then, she saw a pair of tear-stained eyes watching her in the darkness beneath the table.
Tian Pearl couldn't help but scream, she threw herself into Chu Ziyu's arms, pointed to the bottom of the table tremblingly, and said in horror: "There are ghosts!" There's a ghost under the table! ”
The guards outside heard movement in the house and hurriedly pushed the door in. With big knives in their hands, they stood in a circle around Chu Ziyu, looked around vigilantly and asked, "Where are the ghosts?" ”
"Right under the table!" Tian Zhuzhu's face turned pale.
Without waiting for Chu Ziyu to speak, the leader of the guards quickly lifted the tablecloth, only to see a eunuch cowering there dirty, like a turtle, looking very pitiful.
"It turned out to be a eunuch!" The leader of the guards stretched out his long arm and pulled Chen Mengdie out from under the table.
"You're ready for me!" The leader patted Chen Mengdie's back vigorously and asked like an interrogator, "Say!" What are you doing sneaking down there? ”
Chen Mengdie raised her cat-like face and was about to answer, but was interrupted by Chu Ziyu.
"He's my chamberlain, and I asked him to stay here with me, what objections do you have?" Chu Ziyu stood in front of Chen Mengdie, looked at the leader of the guards condescendingly, and asked rhetorically.
"Your Highness, although he is your person, the king has an order, except for the lady and the concubines who visit, other idle people who enter without permission will be punished with twenty rods." The leader of the guards said righteously.
"This matter has nothing to do with him, if you have to hold on to it, then I will bear the twenty scepters." Chu Ziyu's eyes were like leopards, and he was not angry and arrogant.
The leader quickly lowered his head and said, "Don't dare." ”
"In that case, don't hurry up and retreat!" Chu Ziyu shouted in a low voice.
Tian Pearl quietly looked at the little eunuch, only to see that he was born thin and dirty, there was really nothing special, but I didn't know why His Highness wanted to protect him.
The leader looked embarrassed, and the guard next to him persuaded in a low voice: "Since His Highness has spoken, don't be stubborn anymore, after all, Your Highness is the future king of our Chu Kingdom!" Offending him won't end well. ”
"This ......" The leader has always been upright, and it makes sense to listen to what his subordinates said, so he hesitated for a while and said, "Okay, in that case, the subordinates will retire first." ”
"Wait!" Just as the leader was about to retreat, a woman blocked his way.
"Mother." The leader clenched his fists in greeting.
"She has calculated this account, so how will I calculate this account? Tian Pearl stepped forward slowly and asked unhurriedly.
