Chapter Ninety-Two: Heart-to-Heart in the House
On the way back to the palace after leaving the palace, I didn't say a word, because I didn't want to say anything. Pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info and Chen Xi didn't ask me, just accompanied me, probably wanting to wait until I told him in person.
.....................................................
......................................................
The carriage was so quiet that I could even feel the sound of each other's breathing, and for a moment, I didn't know how to speak, because I didn't know what to say to him. If I had consulted with him this time, with his wisdom and ability, he would have been able to come up with a good solution, and it would not have been like this.
I think I'm very smart, I think I can solve it, but the funny thing is that I see things too simply, and good intentions may not always be good things, although Mei Xiang doesn't blame me, but I can't forgive myself.
When I arrived at the gate of the palace, I immediately got out of the carriage.
"Icetide!"
Chenxi stopped me behind me.
I looked back at him, deep concern in my deep gaze.
I said lightly to him, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, I'll go back to the house first." ”
With that, he walked briskly towards his house.
In the house, Qianping said to me sadly: "Princess, I'm sorry, it's all Qianping's bad." ”
"What are you sorry for, you didn't do anything wrong, why are you sorry?" I say.
Perhaps, there is nothing wrong, but it is just a last resort.
"Princess, it's Qianping's fault, if it weren't for Qianping begging the princess, you wouldn't have gone to Concubine Rong to ask for someone, not to mention the trouble for the princess, but also to hurt Mei Xiang. Speaking of which, it's all Qianping's fault. Qianping said with tears in her eyes.
I don't think she's necessarily much better off than I am.
"We didn't expect it, and no one wanted to, did we?" Originally, this girl persuaded me, but now I comforted her.
"Then princess, don't blame yourself, okay?" Qianping said with tears in her eyes.
"I'm not completely guilty of myself, after this incident, I just suddenly feel that some things are not as simple as I imagined." A wry smile appeared in my heart, there was self-blame, but more helplessness. 、
Qianping looked at me a little blankly, and she said, "If it weren't for self-blame, then why didn't the princess ignore the fourth master, the fourth master was very worried about you." ”
Yes, I know Chen-hee is worried about me, but what can I say to him now, I told him that Meixiang committed suicide, not that he killed him, and I told him that I could only watch all this happen, but I couldn't do anything. Is it useful to say this? I will only tell him about my unhappiness, which will only add to his troubles.
What is the use of talking about people who are dead?
For several days, I locked myself in my room and waited quietly, occasionally hearing the laughter of the maids playing outside, but I couldn't get out of the mood. This incident also reminded me that in this great northern desert, no matter what you do, you have to think twice, and you must not act impulsively according to your own will.
Suddenly, the door was gently pushed open, I thought it was Qianping or Jinqiu, looked up, and looked at the person at the door in a daze.
He walked in with a smile on his face, approached and placed the snack and porridge in front of me.
"I heard that you don't have much appetite these days, and you haven't touched much of the food you have brought over, look, I brought you your favorite lotus heart cake." Chenxi put his things away and sat down next to me.
In the past few days, the kitchen has been preparing meals in different ways, how could I not know that it was he who told the kitchen to spend his thoughts,
Now he personally brought my favorite lotus heart cake over, how could this heart not move me.
I didn't make a sound, I took a piece of lotus heart cake and put it in my mouth, the taste is still not much different from what Aunt Yao made in Chu State, in fact, I have been wondering in my heart, how did he do it, Aunt Yao She was with the imperial grandmother in Chu State, and this lotus heart cake is Aunt Yao's craft, it is impossible for outsiders to learn it, even if you understand the method, how to make the taste can be said to be exactly the same. I didn't ask him, but he didn't give me an answer.
Anyway, since he didn't say it, if I kept chasing and asking, I would have found the answer boring, so I still didn't ask.
"Still eat like that." I said to him as I ate.
Chen Xi looked at my eating appearance, and to be honest, it really didn't match the identity of the princess, let alone the princess of this palace, so he couldn't help but purse his lips and smile.
"If it's delicious, eat more, if it's not enough, I'll order someone to send it over." Chenxi said.
After eating the first piece, I was about to reach out for the second piece, but suddenly my heart flashed, and I lost the interest in eating it.
"What's wrong?" Chenxi hurriedly asked me.
"I .........."
"Are you still worried about Mei Xiang's death?" He asked, but he was the first to break it and say it.
I nodded, I thought about it, he is so smart, and I am also a person who can't hold back things, some things are better to say, and in my heart I will hold back my illness one day, although I didn't want to talk to him about this.
"Mei Xiang threw herself into the river and died, I haven't told you about this matter, and I wouldn't have embarked on this road if I didn't have to." I feel a little sad in my heart.
"I know that Mei Xiang's death has nothing to do with others, but it can't be separated from others." Chen Xi said expressionlessly, when he said others, he deliberately suppressed the anger in his heart, so that he said calmly.
I looked at him in amazement, maybe he had read the letter, but the letter had always been written down with me, and he couldn't have seen it.
"How do you know that Mei Xiang wasn't killed by him?" I asked.
To my full stomach, he explained: "I know from the coroner that Mei Xiang did not have any signs of struggle before she died, and there were no injuries on her body, apparently she was very calm before she died, so I concluded that she threw herself into the river." ”
It turned out that he had long known the truth about Mei Xiang's death, and he inquired with the coroner to show that he was not indifferent and indifferent, after all, the person who died was the person in front of his mother, and the person trusted by his mother, how could he pretend that nothing happened. And he didn't say it, but his last sentence "But he can't get out of the relationship with others" Is there another plan in his heart, or does he also have his helplessness?
"Chenxi, I'........... I'm sorry I ............."
"I don't blame you, don't blame yourself too much, and don't take everything on yourself."
He interrupted me.
He muttered to himself: "This is the case in the palace, and it is only a matter of time before Mei Xiang embarks on this road, but I didn't expect this day to come so soon." When the queen mother was alive, as a celebrity in front of the queen mother, no one dared to bully her, and now the queen mother is gone, after all, she is the person who has been in the queen mother, rushing at me, Concubine Rong is just bullying and doesn't dare to do anything to her, but Mei Xiang is the head of the palace, although I have a heart, hindering Concubine Rong, I can only open one eye and close one eye, I didn't expect this thing to be met by you, with your character, you are bound to wade into this troubled water. Mei Xiang is a smart palace maid, since this matter has alarmed her father, it is not so simple, plus the incident of the last Jinqiu, how can Concubine Rong be such a good talker, so she chose to stay by Concubine Rong's side and continue to stay I can understand, there must be an explanation for things, Bingxi, seeing that you have been worried about this matter for the past few days, I really don't blame you, only blame us for not being born in this emperor's family, since God has arranged our fate here, we can only follow God's will to go on. ”
I looked at him and always thought that he could do anything, but I didn't think that he would also be helpless. Yes, the emperor sometimes has difficulties, not to mention that he is a prince.
"Have you been like this all these years?" I took his hand and asked him, only to understand that it is hard to imagine that a person like him also has a time of forbearance.
"It's good to get used to some things, if you can see it, you can see it, and if you can't see it, you have to think about it. At first, I tried to ask myself, why don't I go forward and reach out to pull it, but then I gradually realized that I can't pull it for a lifetime. But not everything is numb and indifferent, otherwise there would be little point at all. ”
He said this as if he were telling the story of another person, how he did it so lightly.
I don't know what it was that wasn't all about what he said was numb and indifferent, but I knew it was definitely important to him.
His indifference and numbness are also a last resort, and only by making his appearance strong can he protect the people around him. And I, who have been cared for and protected by the imperial grandmother and royal brother since I was a child, are naturally not stronger than him, and the environment can affect a person.
"Chenxi, I see." I said to him.
Everyone has an untouchable bottom line, and I would love to know what Chenxi's bottom line is? I'd love to know, but I'd rather I never know, because when that moment really comes, it must be something that will hurt Chenhee.
