Chapter 30, the fickle human heart
Qi Qing'er suddenly felt the atmosphere in the tent freeze, and King Ling's body froze like a pillar stone. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Ling'er, who came in behind Princess Pure, held a bunch of red maple leaves in her hand, and when she looked at the three people in the tent, she immediately put down the maple leaves, and stood respectfully on the side, not daring to come out of the atmosphere.
"You get up first, your body is just right, and it's not easy to kneel." Gao Jingwen hurriedly went to help Qi Qing'er and gave her a relieved look.
Qi Qing'er didn't need to look at her eyes, just the action of Princess Pure rushing in, Qi Qing'er knew in her heart that she had stabbed Gao Jingwen's heart.
The heart that hates being forced to marry, and hates the heart that can't marry the person you want.
However, Qi Qing'er still knelt on the ground, and she had to do enough to act, and looked up at King Ling with pretending to be afraid, expressing her fear that King Ling would not agree.
Gao Jingwen immediately said, "No one here can drive you away, don't worry, come." The tone was firm and modest.
After hearing this, Qi Qing'er stood up with confidence along Gao Jingwen's arm.
King Ling first looked at Gao Jingwen incomprehensibly, and then his expression was distorted, and his lacquered eyebrows showed the ruthlessness of the king.
"Jingwen, she is just a piece of cloth among all living beings, why do you need to be so condescending!"
"She has the grace to save my life, and I can't be as aggressive as the royal brother to someone who has blocked a sword for me." Gao Jingwen finished saying this to King Ling indignantly, and then turned to Qi Qing'er, "Don't worry, if you don't want to go back to that home, you won't go back, I'll take you to the capital." ”
Gao Jingwen's delicate and charming eyes revealed full of concern.
She knows the pain of being forced to marry, and she also knows how painful and sad it is to marry someone she doesn't like, and that person who is still over the age of sixteen and can't walk on her legs.
At this time, Gao Jingwen was unusually sympathetic to Qi Qing'er-Huan Yu and herself had almost the same hardships.
Qi Qing'er looked at Gao Jingwen's concern and her flashing typhoid fever, and felt apologetic. I brought up Jingwen's sadness again for no reason, and used this pain in her heart to use her, which is indeed a bit unkind.
But in the face of hatred, this use is nothing.
King Ling snorted and said, "She's just a stranger, how can the princess believe in her so much." is going to bring a stranger back to Beijing who was killed halfway, has the princess ever thought about her origin and her background?! ”
Without waiting for Gao Jingwen to refute, Qi Qing'er said herself: "I am a native of Thorn Prefecture, I grew up in Thorn Prefecture since I was a child, my father is a cloth merchant, but the business has been bleak over the years, and my father wants to keep this family business, so he wants to take me to a business marriage and marry a rich family as a concubine, I don't want to, so I ran out of the house." ”
Qi Qing'er deliberately said that it was pitiful, and Gao Jingwen also became more and more sympathetic to Qi Qing'er's identity and experience of this Huanyu.
Without putting his slender hand on Qi Qing'er's hand, he tightened it and comforted him.
King Ling frowned, looking unhappy, carefully pondering what Qi Qing'er said, although there was no flaw, he still stared at Qi Qing'er for a long time in disbelief.
"Isn't Miss Huanyu dissatisfied with being a concubine?"
In his opinion, a woman's marriage is just the difference between the main room and the concubine, and it has nothing to do with who she marries or not.
Just like a concubine in the palace, he has always been dissatisfied that his mother Concubine Yu is just a concubine and can never be compared with the crown prince's mother, the queen. As for whether his mother really loved his father, he didn't care, or he didn't think it was necessary to care.
The condescending posture is still unabated, and it seems that Qi Qing'er in front of him should be a concubine for the person who is over the age of sixteen and has leg problems.
"I ......" Qi Qing'er didn't know how to answer this question, and slightly tightened Gao Jingwen's hand on her hand, asking for help.
Jingwen also sensed Huan Yu's nervousness, "Brother Huang, in the eyes of those of you who hold power, are we women just a tool used to consolidate the country or save the family business?!" ”
She began to get emotional as she spoke, and put her hand wrapped in silk on her chest, "I am a princess, I can't escape the fate of marriage, I can't escape my father's red pen, I admit it!" But she is different, since she has escaped from home, there is no reason to send her back! ”
Then he turned around again, put one hand around Huan Yu's shoulder, and said, "Brother Huang can't understand you, I can." ”
Qi Qing'er's heart suddenly rose with warmth.
She had the impression that Princess Pure was an empathetic girl, although she was only four or five years old when they played together, and she couldn't see anything, but she could see from her own mother that she would grow up to be as understanding as her mother.
It seems that when he returned to Beijing, he chose to rely on Princess Pure, and he didn't make a mistake.
King Ling listened to Gao Jingwen's words, his face tightened, and his eyes were like dark clouds with lightning.
He didn't expect Gao Jingwen to collide with him like this, it seems that she is in Yueguo, and after a year or two, she can no longer see her as a simple sister who doesn't know how to think for herself.
He stared at Gao Jingwen for a while, trying to calm the anger in his heart, "It seems that Miss Huanyu is really resourceful!" ”
Qi Qing'er shuddered when she heard this, and her heart trembled, what did he mean? ?
Thousands of thoughts flashed through Qi Qing'er's mind, he saw the flaw, he didn't believe the identity he made up, or he could see the clue from his appearance.
Standing in place for a while, I didn't know how to answer, and thousands of countermeasures flashed through my mind.
"Brother Huang, what are you talking about?!" Gao Jingwen spoke first, and protected Qi Qing'er behind her.
"What am I talking about, why don't you go and ask her!" King Ling's sharp eyes approached Qi Qing'er, and he continued: "Don't hesitate to block your own life, your goal has been achieved!" ”
Qi Qing'er heard? At the cost of your own life? If he had guessed that the assassin in the dense forest was playing a play with him, he would not have said that he would gamble with his life.
In addition, if he guessed it, whether it was to guess Qi Qing'er's true identity, or to design for the princess to take it in. As long as he was sure of one of them, it was estimated that Qi Qing'er would have been thrown out of the tent or locked up in an escort car.
Qi Qing'er straightened out her thoughts, pretending to be afraid and pitiful, and said, "Purpose? Grass... The grass people really didn't understand what His Majesty meant. ”
"Do you think your father would have guessed that you were taken in by the princess of the Great Yu Dynasty? Sometime. Is it possible for him to go to the princess's mansion in the capital to ask for someone? King Ling finished speaking in one breath and glared at Qi Qing'er.
It turned out that he was talking about this purpose, and Qi Qing'er's hanging heart completely sank to the bottom of the sea.
And according to what he meant just now, he acquiesced in the fact that the Pure Princesses wanted to bring Qi Qing'er back to Beijing together.
Qi Qing'er secretly congratulated herself.
But Gao Jingwen on the side turned flushed, obviously angry, and stretched out her hand to point at King Ling and said: "Brother Huang, have you said enough, you deliberately separated us, just to drive her away, right, let me tell you, with me, she will return to Beijing!" ”
As soon as these words fell, there was no sound in all directions, only the sound of the charcoal fire, and there was hardly any spark visible in the brazier, which seemed to be about to be carbonized, and the temperature of the tent began to fall.
Ling'er on the side looked at King Ling's angry eyes staring at the charcoal fire, and was so frightened that he hurriedly attached himself to the charcoal fire and buried his head in adding carbon.
In fact, Gao Jingwen wanted to take Qi Qing'er back to Beijing, and he didn't have much to do with King Ling, so he was so angry and wanted to get rid of Qi Qing'er, but it was because the date of returning to Beijing was delayed by Qi Qing'er's illness.
Now he is angry, his eyes are shining, and the blue tendons on his forehead are exposed, and he is also threatened because of his high-ranking Wang Wei.
He found that in the eyes of the pure princess, his royal power was no better than that of a Jianghu man who appeared halfway.
Facing the charcoal fire that rose again in the charcoal basin, the anger in King Ling's eyes jumped even more, he shook his sleeves fiercely, and said: "Before tomorrow, the whole team must return to Beijing, and there must be no further delay!" ”
