Chapter 217: Step by step
I was suddenly hit by this, and I was a little blind.
Although I have always understood that Queen Meng does not like me, and I also know that there are many knots between her and me, and I can understand her behavior, I did not expect that she would dare to beat me so undisguised outside Yuanhe's bedroom.
I don't know what's wrong, I'm late to react, and I'm a little clumsy.
In order to avoid a more embarrassing situation, when I turned my head after being beaten, I had to force myself to calm down, breathe a sigh of relief, and was about to pack up my mood and raise my head to look at her.
As soon as I raised my head, Queen Meng raised her hand again, and when I saw that this slap was about to fall again, I subconsciously lowered my eyelids slightly, but this slap did not hit me directly in the face as expected.
Stopped?! Suddenly, I felt that the atmosphere around me was not right, and I fixed my eyes on it, and Queen Meng's slap did not stop, but was intercepted by someone. Her wrist was strangled and could not be beaten down again, and Queen Meng looked at the person who had ruined her business viciously.
My head was already groggy, and after I was suddenly slapped like that, I felt the soles of my feet go limp, and I couldn't help but shake when I stepped on the ground...... It was such a moment that I couldn't even feel my legs, I lost my strength, and I shook it and almost fell backwards.
Grabbing on the doorframe, I leaned against her for a moment before I looked up at them again.
"You're so daring! Do you know who I am?! Queen Meng was noisy and broke free of Yuan Jue's hand. She rubbed her wrists, but Yuan Jue blocked between us, so that she couldn't lean forward anymore, so she could only stand in place and point at me and scold, "What a vixen, one protects you, and two also protect you!" Are you all smitten by her?! ”
Queen Meng was scolding, but suddenly saw her on one side, and she slapped her to the ground, and she was lying on the ground, her expression was stunned, as if she didn't expect someone to beat her.
"Who told you to come here!" Won Hyuk reprimanded.
When I heard the sound, I saw that Yuan He was also coming, and Hou Yue was not far behind him, and now I figured it out. No wonder I didn't see him just now, it turned out that I found out that the situation was wrong and ran to inform Yuan He, but when Hou Yue stood there and saw Yuan Jue, his reaction was also very strange, as if he was shocked, he didn't expect Yuan Jue to stand here.
"You actually beat me!" Queen Meng cried.
Yuan He only glared at her, and at this time he had already turned around, and he was now in front of Yuan Jue, and Yuan Jue had his back to me, so I couldn't see his expression, but through Yuan Jue, I could see Yuan He's expression clearly.
"Why are you here?" Yuan Hyuk's tone sounded cold to the bone, and he looked over Won Jue's shoulder and saw me.
I was still leaning on Trixi's body, a little dizzy.
"I came to look for you, but I didn't expect to see this scene." Yuan Jue's hoarse voice has matured a lot, and he has faded away from the last childishness, and he is so indifferent.
The vision in front of me began to blur a little, and the consciousness of becoming more and more trance began to overwhelm me, from just clearly seeing everyone's expressions, to later, I could only recognize people by impression, Yuan Jue's white clothes and Yuan He's touch of Mo Lan regular clothes were opposite, Queen Meng, who was dressed in a bright red dress, was originally lying on the side, but suddenly knelt down at Yuan He's feet and hugged his legs What are you talking about......
I finally couldn't hold it anymore, my eyes closed, and I fainted.
When I woke up, it was because I felt a bump, and my body shook several times because of this bump, which was very strange, but very uncomfortable, and it was difficult for me to gradually wake up from the consciousness immersed in the dream, and slowly opened my eyes, and my body shook again, which made me think about what kind of environment I was in.
In the car?! That's right, in the carriage.
"Are you awake?" Wonhyuk's voice came from above, and I lifted my chin to see him above my head. "Let's sleep a little longer, it'll be there in a while."
Now, I woke up.
"Where is this?" I knew it was in the carriage, but in my last consciousness before I fell unconscious, I didn't remember anything related to the carriage, so why I woke up and stayed in the carriage.
Won Hyuk sat next to me, I was lying on his lap, no wonder I had been feeling a bump under my body just in my dream, what the hell was going on.
"There's been a lot going on in the palace lately," Wonhyuk saw my doubts, so he began to explain, "Originally, I was going to let you marry from Heungdeokji Temple outside the palace when I got married, and I should have told you about it before I became an adult." ”
Should Cheng Jing have told me? I thought to myself for a long time, but I seemed to have a little impression, but I couldn't remember anything.
Yuan Hyuk sighed, he had already guessed my reaction, "Why don't you care about your own affairs at all." I was discussing with Lord Cheng before, I didn't want to wronged you with other grievances, but you didn't even have a place to stay in Mucheng, so you definitely couldn't marry into the palace from your own family like other women, it was Lord Cheng who proposed to let you enter the palace from the royal temple Xingde Temple, I thought it was a good way. ”
"But what does these two things have to do with each other?" I don't understand, just now I was obviously asking him, where am I going, and why he said that the arrangements for the big wedding made me very puzzled.
"I know, you are working very hard in the palace now, Cheng Jing is right, I let you follow me like this before the wedding, I wronged you, I have no name and no share, and I have repeatedly made you bullied." Only then did Won Hyuk lower his head and look at me, "Niyin, this is not my intention. I really want to protect you well, and now that all forces in the palace are surging, it is not conducive to your recuperation. So I want to take this opportunity to send you to Heungdeokji Temple to recuperate, take care of your body before the big wedding, and marry me in the most beautiful appearance. ”
Was he blaming himself?
I could see a deep sense of self-reproach in his eyes, did he think that it was because he didn't take care of me that I was bullied?
No, not exactly.
I just offended Lord Meng, and it is precisely because of the fact that Lord Meng belongs to the Northern Council that I have stirred up, so it is inevitable that you will hold a grudge against me. Queen Meng came to embarrass me at this time, and it is not excluded that there is a hint from Lord Meng, Queen Meng stood up for her father, so she beat me, but what she didn't expect, Yuan Hyuk beat her for me.
This is a problem.
I have seen it before, Lord Meng was arrogant and domineering in front of Yuan He, Yuan He succeeded to the throne at the beginning, his own power was not stable, and he needed to rely on Lord Meng for many things, and on the other hand, Yuan He had to guard against Lord Meng, otherwise he would not be so embarrassed when Lord Meng proposed to let his student succeed him as Lord Bei. Won Hyuk is also worried that Lord Meng's power is getting bigger and bigger, and he will pose a certain threat to him in the court.
But now, he can't offend Lord Meng, but he just hit Queen Meng with a momentary whim, if Lord Meng investigates it, I'm afraid this matter will not be so easy to solve. No wonder he was in a hurry to get me out of the palace at this time.
"It's okay, it's just a temporary separation, after all, it's not a few days before the wedding." I comforted him softly, and then I saw that his expression had eased a lot, and I thought to myself, I really don't know what is so good about this throne that has made his two brothers fight for what they are now incompatible. Although Yuan He succeeded to the throne today, he was not completely proud, and he still had to be afraid of the power of Lord Meng and be restrained everywhere. In fact, think about it from another angle, if the person who inherits the throne today is Yuan Jue, he is also using the power of Lord Qu, and Lord Qu is bent on marrying his daughter Qu Jie to Yuan Jue, then the relationship between Yuan Jue and Qu Jie and Lord Qu is not the same as today's Yuan He, Queen Meng and Lord Meng? "By the way, how did Qu Jie's matter go?"
Yuan He didn't expect me to suddenly ask about Qu Jie, and I saw his momentary panic in my eyes, and I was very puzzled. Won Hyuk replied hesitantly after that, "You just woke up, why are you worrying about this matter again." Take care of your own body first......"
"Does it have anything to do with me?" I asked.
Yuan He's hesitation couldn't help but remind me of what Yuan Jue came to me at that time.
Unless they all start to suspect that Qu Jie's death has something to do with me, I can't think of any other reason why Yuan Hyuk would be so evasive.
"You don't have to worry, I will let people continue to investigate, and I will definitely find out this matter clearly." Yuan Hyuk said.
"You don't doubt me?" I was surprised, even Yuan Jue came to ask me if Qu Jie's death was related to me, Yuan He not only didn't ask me that, but on the contrary, he also comforted me and said that he would find out. "Don't you have the slightest suspicion that Qu Jie's death has something to do with me?"
"Why should I doubt you?" Wonhyuk's words were also reasonable, not like he dodged just now.
I was so choked with this sentence that I couldn't say anything. I looked at him in a daze, not knowing what to do.
"Niyin, I really want to marry you, not just as a wife, I really want to marry you, be my wife, and be with me for the rest of my life. How can I suspect that you have something to do with Qu Jie's death? Yuan Hyuk said.
When I heard this, I sat up straight, looked at him, and lowered my head again. "I was wrong, I thought you would doubt me as much as they did, I thought you would give up on me at this time."
"How so. You don't have to worry, I'll take care of all this. Yuan Hyuk added, "As long as you really want to marry me, then no one can stop us from getting married." ”
I nodded, but I thought he was saying something strange.
When I got out of the carriage, the sunset on the horizon was beautiful, red, and blurred. Yuan He helped me and walked slowly towards the temple, only to see Hou Yue and Cui Xi who were accompanying me, and the monks in the temple had probably already received the news and were waiting outside the temple, lined up in two rows.
When he saw Won Hyuk, a monk dressed in a robe that was different from the other monks stepped forward and saluted Won Hyuk. "Your Majesty," he said, turning his head sideways to look at me for a moment, before he said, "Mother." ”
I looked sideways at Yuan He, who was much more humble to this person, "Master, now I have to trouble the master." ”
Won Hyuk called him a master, and looking at this master, he was obviously more restrained than looking at other people, which was the same as I realized at the beginning, this person's identity was different from everyone else.
The person who was called the master only smiled indifferently, and he said to me, "Old Lady Yanqing, Niangniang is going to live in this temple for a while, and Niangniang will definitely take care of Niangniang wholeheartedly, and I hope Your Majesty can rest assured." ”
Won Hyuk nodded at me, to reassure me.
"Your Majesty, Niangniang, come with the old man." The master who called himself Yan Qing led us sideways towards the temple.
Won Hyuk carefully helped me across the threshold and walked towards the temple.
As I walked, I suddenly felt something strange, and I couldn't help but stop and look to the side, but there was nothing. It's just that feeling just now......
"What's wrong?" Won Hyuk also stopped, he glanced in the direction I was looking, but he didn't see anything, so he asked suspiciously.
"It's okay," I said, "maybe it's because there's been too much going on lately, maybe I'm wrong." ”
Wonhyuk patted me on the shoulder very understandingly, and then took me and continued walking.
When he looked at me, I smiled knowingly to prove to him that I was okay. It wasn't until he missed his gaze later that I quietly followed it and looked there again.
It's really weird, I just really felt like someone was watching me out there.
"It looks pretty good here, they know that you will get married from here, so they vacated the West Chamber early on, and it seems that they are very careful to clean up." Won Hyuk walked around the room, looked around carefully, and said, but he turned around and found that I was still immersed in my own thoughts, sullen, so he walked up to me and sat down, "What's wrong?" Still thinking about what just happened? ”
That's right, I'm still thinking about the appearance of that person when I just entered the temple and vaguely saw it, but I can't remember it, and when I saw him ask in particular, in order not to make him careless, I deliberately shook my head and denied it, "No." ”
"Master Yanqing, who greeted us outside the temple just now, is the great elder of this temple, and he takes care of all the big and small things in this temple. Because we came too quickly, the presiding officer of this temple is still in retreat, and I can't come out to greet him, and Master Yanqing will introduce you to it in two days. I thought you were familiar with Trixi, and I knew that you didn't like strangers around, so I left Trixi to you, and I was relieved that she would take care of your diet and daily life. By the way, there is also Hou Yue, because he is a person you can trust, I have checked his background, and it is indeed credible, so during the time you live here, Hou Yue is responsible for leading the troops to guard your safety. Yuan Hyuk arranged little by little, explained little by little, "Wait a minute, let me think about what else is going on...... By the way, here, although it is not as clean as in the palace, at least it is cleaner, I think you will like it here, these **** will be very busy, if I have time, I will come to see you......"
"Okay, I know everything." I said, "It's getting late, and if you want to go back, hurry up, lest you delay your business." ”
"It's okay, don't worry, don't rush......" Won Hyuk frowned slightly. (To be continued.) )
