Chapter Seventy-One
In the Ling Xin Palace, Chu Mi and Dongfang Ling Wu looked at each other, Dongfang Du and Dark Cloud looked at the door for a while, but they didn't see any movement from them, so they said loudly: "Senior sister, imperial sister, what are you looking at?" "You look at me, I look at you, is there anything to see? It's been a long time, and there is no response!
When Chu Mi and Dongfang Lingwu heard Dongfang Du's voice, they came back to their senses, turned their heads to look at them, and asked in unison, "Why are you here?" A look of embarrassment appeared on the faces of the two of them at the same time, but in an instant, they returned to normal.
"Yun'er, why did you put on the palace maid's clothes?" Dongfang Lingwu glanced up and down at the dark clouds as she spoke, and after thinking about it, she understood that she was wearing the clothes of a palace maid in order to appear by Dongfang Du's side openly, and this affection was really enviable. When I thought about myself, I didn't even have a chance to speak. Thinking like this, he subconsciously glanced at Chu Mi beside him, and quickly looked away.
Chu Mi naturally felt the flash of gaze, but pretended not to notice it, got up and walked towards Dongfangdu, "Xiaodu, Yun'er, are you here to find us?" She and Dongfang Lingwu left as soon as they finished lunch in order to let Dark Cloud and Dongfang Du have a chat alone. After four years apart, I naturally have a lot to say and ask in my heart, and now is the opportunity.
"Xiaodu, I have something I want to talk to you alone." As he spoke, he looked back at Dongfang Lingwu, "I wonder if Her Royal Highness the Princess can borrow a place for me to talk to Xiaodu alone for a while?" Since she had been to Huaicheng, Jizhou, she had clearly felt that Dongfang Lingwu looked at her differently, and she always looked like she wanted to speak and stopped.
Dongfang Lingwu was stunned for a moment, he could only nod in agreement, raised his hand and pointed to the inside, "You can go to the inside to talk, or you can go to the next room." She didn't know why Chu Mi wanted to chat with Dongfang Du alone, the relationship between the current few people was the most intimate in this palace, and they both had secrets related to life and death, but at this moment, they wanted to avoid her and Dark Cloud, what was the ulterior secret?
"Thank you, Your Highness." Chu Mi clenched his fists, and after saluting, he went inside.
"Yun'er, you wait for me here for a while, and I'll go inside to chat with my senior sister for a while." After saying that, he got up and followed him inside.
Dongfang Du walked into the inner room, and saw that Chu Mi had already sat down, and when he saw her coming in, he raised his hand and said, "Xiaodu, sit down and talk." He poured two cups of tea, one was pushed to Dongfangdu, and the other was drunk by himself.
Seeing Chu Mi's actions, Dongfang Du knew that she had something unspeakable to say, and waited until she drank the water in the cup in one gulp before asking, "Senior sister, what do you want to ask me?" The moment she drank the water, she vaguely guessed a rough idea. The person who instigated Dongfang Lingwu to pursue her was herself. In this situation, in case Chu Mi broke out, he had to pretend to be stupid first.
"Her Royal Highness the Princess...... She...... Is she trying to chase me? Chu Mi didn't dare to raise her eyes to look at Dongfangdu, so she could only turn her head and turn the cup, seemingly asking casually, but her slightly reddened earlobes had already betrayed her tangled and shy heart at the moment.
"Uh......" Dongfang Du really didn't expect her senior sister to ask so directly, the question was too simple and rude/violent, how could she answer well?! said that she wanted to chase it, doesn't it mean that she already knows about it! Say you don't want to chase it, this is lying to my sister again! For a while, I really didn't know how to answer.
He blinked his eyes twice quickly and asked rhetorically, "Senior sister, why do you ask like that?" "It's better to throw the question back on her, let Chu Mi tell herself why she feels like this, and she can pretend that she doesn't know anything.
"You...... Don't pretend, I know you know! Chu Mi raised his head and looked at Dongfangdu, "When I left Huaicheng four years ago, I noticed that something was wrong. Your imperial sister is ...... She looked at me at the beginning of the eyes were dodgy, but on the way back to the capital, she no longer dodged, the eyes were fiery and affectionate, I don't know how to love, I can naturally understand the affection in those eyes. "That look, I'm afraid that only the blind can't understand it.
Dongfang Du pursed his lips and didn't speak, looking at Chu Mi quietly, waiting for her to continue.
Chu Mi paused, and then continued: "On the way back to Beijing, she gave me a piece of jade, which looks like a high-quality jade, and her name is engraved on the jade, I guess it is a symbol of status. I didn't want to accept it, so she used the New Year as an excuse, saying that it was a gift for the New Year, so I could only accept it...... "The picture of accepting the jade pendant by myself is vivid!" Dongfang Lingwu smiled happily at that time, she still remembers it clearly.
As soon as he heard that he had accepted the jade, Dongfang Du couldn't wait to ask, "What about you?" Sister, what did you give back? "Even this jade has been accepted, the gift is still exchanged, and the senior sister should have sent a gift back! Just now he was speechless, and now his face is full of gossip.
"Alas...... I didn't have anything to give back. "To say that she has no long things, it is not true, she still has a piece of jade given to her by the virtuous concubine on her body, but it is impossible to give that thing to others. In addition to jade, it is a sword, and the person is in the sword, unless she dies, this sword will never change its owner.
"So you only accept gifts and don't return gifts?" Dongfang Du looked at Chu Mi in shock, is this still her senior sister! I was embarrassed to accept something and didn't return the gift!
"I ...... Although I didn't return the gift, I made a promise, whatever he does in the future, I am willing to help, and I will never give up. As long as she speaks, as long as I can do it, I am willing. "Now it seems that it is better to give her the sword! If it's a big deal, I'll ask Master for another hand! I really dug myself a big hole!
"That'...... What does that have to do with the royal sister chasing you? Dongfang Du blinked his eyes and asked with a look of ignorance.
"After returning to Ling Xin Palace today, she said some strange things......" Chu Mi bit her lip and replied sincerely.
"What strange words?" Senior sister, you should say it quickly! I really want to know what strange things the imperial sister will say to you! It won't be because I'm back, so I'll confess to you when I'm excited! After asking, I saw an embarrassed flush on Chu Mi's face, and it seemed that he had really guessed correctly.
After waiting for a while, I heard Chu Mi reply, "What strange words...... You don't have to ask more, you just sue me, does your imperial sister really want to chase me? Didn't you already know? "Are you the one who instigated her to chase me?
Without waiting for Dongfang Du to answer, the words changed and continued: "Xiaodu, you should know that the person in my heart has always been yours. Reaching out to cover her hand, "You and I met when we were young and grew up together, and the person I liked has always been you." And your royal sister, I can't possibly like her. At this time, I said absolutely, and I don't know what the future holds.
"Senior sister, I'm sorry." Dongfang Du pulled his hand out gently, "I will only be with Yun'er in this life." And you, senior sister, will have better people with you, even if you are not the royal sister, there will be other people. "And I, there is no way I can lose Yun'er. Senior sister, the other end of the red thread that Yue Lao has pulled for you is really not me.
"Senior sister, is it really not as good as that dark cloud?" Chu Mi asked unwillingly with a wound in his eyes.
"Senior sister, there is nothing that can't be compared." Feelings are different, how to compare? Although I had the idea of being with you, it was only to be able to step out of the shadow brought to me by the clouds. Now, for me, Yun'er is my light, giving me warmth and happiness. But after all, I had thoughts about you that I shouldn't have, and it was really hard to face......
"Xiaodu ......" Seeing that Chu Mi wanted to say something more, Dongfang Du hurriedly got up and said, "Senior sister, it's already unitary time, I should go back to the palace to prepare and participate in tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve night banquet, I will be lost first." After saying that, he went out of the room in a panic.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Dongfang Du was so flustered, Dongfang Lingwu hurriedly stepped forward and asked worriedly.
"It's nothing, Imperial Sister, I'll go back to the palace first." After saying that, he walked out, forgetting even about his wheelchair. Fortunately, Dark Cloud grabbed her, "Du, don't panic, I'm here." After speaking, he motioned for her to sit in a wheelchair and pushed her out of Lingxin Palace.
"In the middle room, what did Senior Sister say to you?" Walking to a place where no one was around, Dark Cloud asked.
waited for a long time, but waited for her sentence: "Yun'er, I'm sorry, I have done something sorry for you......" is sorry for her, although it is just a thought, it can be regarded as a betrayal in my heart.
Dark Cloud's breath was suffocated, the knuckles of the hand holding the wheelchair turned white from the exertion, and she endured the heartache and suppressed the anger in her heart, asking Dongfang Du what she had done to be sorry for her, but she refused to say what she had done.
"Yun'er, go back to the palace. Wait a minute...... Will you ask later? ”
Darkcloud sighed faintly, "Okay. ”
