Chapter 258: Crisp Glass
Chapter 258: Crisp glass
At dusk the next day, the royal car hugged each other and came to the front of the Lingyan Pavilion. At that time, the slanting sun was like gold, shining on the glazed tiles of the palace garden, and the streamer was like fire and glow, dazzling. Although Sui'er had been comforting herself in her heart last night, she still didn't sleep well all night. I took a nap at noon, and at this time, I just woke up, just freshened up, and was sitting on the couch stunned. She suddenly looked forward to Liu Zhao's arrival very much, and she was anxious for a long time, but she had always held her identity and refused to reveal it in front of others. In this way, there is an extra layer of depression.
When the emperor came, the high-fives were handed from afar, and the palace people outside had already knelt on the ground. Sui'er watched Liu Zhao walk in slowly in a homely plain gold dragon robe, his face became clearer and clearer, and it closely coincided with the appearance in his heart, and somehow, he had a sour meaning.
He has always been the image in his heart, like that in the sunset, dressed in a white shirt, with a beautiful curvature at the corners of his mouth, and his thick black hair is soft and shiny, flashing with a glittering luster. The bright, clear eyes were looking at her tenderly. It was as if she had made a lifelong promise and walked a long road to come to her like that.
Sui'er stood up, watched him walk towards her affectionately, held her hand, and then let out a long sigh and threw herself into his arms.
Liu Zhao kissed her lightly on the forehead and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" Want to get me? ”
Sui'er nodded shyly, her eyes were full of tenderness, but her eyes were full of tears, but she stubbornly refused to cry, wearing a smoke-blue non-embroidered silk robe, which looked more and more like a cold bamboo, thin and hard and brittle. Liu Zhao sighed lightly, but whispered to her: "I didn't thank her, Sui'er, don't think too much!" ”
Sui'er was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Zhao with surprise, lightly opened her lips, and asked in a low voice: "The emperor has a new concubine, but why is he not favored?" ”
Liu Zhao flipped through a few books. It's like turning over your own worried and fragmented mood. Sui'er's head drooped slightly, and she sighed in a low voice like a thin wind: "Is it for Sui'er?" ”
Liu Zhao shook his head, "I didn't sleep all night last night, so she knelt in front of the bed all night. I'm so upset, but I don't know how to talk about it? ”
Sui'er stared at him for a moment, then threw herself into his arms with a sigh and kissed him on the face, full of shyness. Seeing that Liu Zhao's heart softened, he hugged her into his arms. Su Lan'er, Che Qing and the others looked at each other and smiled, and without any orders, they retreated to the door and covered the door of the palace.
Liu Zhao's breath was slightly chaotic, looking at Sui'er's eyes, he refused to look away for a long time, kissed her long eyelashes lightly, and his voice trembled slightly: "Sui'er, am I too bad." Or I'm too tolerated. ”
Sui'er stroked Liu Zhao's thick eyebrows and thin cheeks, and asked in a low voice: "Your Majesty, everything has its own reasons, and it is not necessary to punish people heavily. The emperor can control the Han Dynasty, how can he be sad for a little woman. ”
Liu Zhao was silent for a moment, bowing his head slightly: "She told me that she has a sweetheart, let me let her go!" ”
The pomegranate trees in front of the court bloomed in clusters, and they were as fierce as burning. She only stared at him for a long time before saying, "Your Majesty." She said so! ”
Liu Zhao refused to look at her. There was a moment of silence, and Sui'er could almost hear the ticking sound of more leakage, each of which was like a thousand feet of ice falling into the abyss, stirring up a fragmented remnant. It's true. There was only a moment, as if it was just between a breath and a breath, which was enough to make the enthusiasm in her heart turn sharply into the coldness of the smoke and decay.
Finally, Liu Zhao's voice sounded faintly: "I am very angry. If she doesn't look like Song Jun, it's okay, I can still tolerate her. Maybe I will kindly let her go, marry her, and let her and her lover last forever. But she is too similar to Song Jun. I only felt like I had been pricked by a needle, and I couldn't tell the disgust, and I couldn't look at her and treat her. Sui'er, I'm in turmoil. ”
Sui'er's heart sank a few times and struggled, but the emperor was still moved. Only when you are tempted will you care, you will be angry, and you will struggle, and this motivation is the biggest blow to yourself.
Sui'er smiled faintly and blocked her heart again, "Your Majesty, you shouldn't be like this, you should be glad for her and let her break the idea of getting together with her lover, right?" ”
Her words made Liu Zhao raise his eyes to look at her, and saw that the fire in her eyes had disappeared, and his expression was as indifferent as the clouds and smoke of a vein under the slanting sun. He only felt that his stomach was full of grievances and hatred entangled in a mess, and he had come to ask her for help, just like his heart needed a place to rest, even a small place. And he can always be found here when he comes to Sui'er. How could she say so indifferently, so indifferent.
He shouted eagerly, "Don't you care? I thought you cared. ”
Sui'er only felt that her heart was sinking like water at the bottom of the pool, and there was no longer a trace of waves. "The emperor cares about Song Jun, right? So the moment you see the flower girl, you fall, don't you? Why ask me, Sui'er is right, if you want to keep her for a long time, you just need to make her your person. I care, does it work? The emperor cares, what is the most important thing. ”
Liu Zhao's tone was angular and arcangular: "I only ask if you care?" ”
Sui'er stared into his eyes, her big black and white eyes became blurred, tears slipped from the corners of her eyes, no matter how stubborn her heart was, there would be soft places, "I care!" ”
Liu Zhao suddenly kissed her lips, looking for the temperature of love between her lips and teeth, and said in Sui'er's ear in a low voice for a long time: "I think of you, it has always been you, and I only love you, do you understand?" I was unwilling, unwilling to let her ignore my existence and think about that man. This is a great insult to me. I'm angry like this! ”
Sui'er smiled bitterly, "Your Majesty, you didn't read your heart, the shadow left by Song Meiren's death in the emperor's heart is too heavy." So you intuitively think of her as the Song beauty of the year. So you are tempted, and at the same time, she brought you such a shocking thing, so the emperor can't stand it, Sui'er is an outsider, I can see it very clearly. Your Majesty, when Song Meiren died, your heartache Sui'er saw it very clearly, you care about her! ”
"Sui'er, I didn't, I just-" Liu Zhao was about to explain, but Sui'er covered his mouth, "Your Majesty, you moved, Sui'er understands." If the emperor didn't have a thought, he let her go and let her be with his sweetheart, but you were angry. That's what you care about. Who would be angry if it has nothing to do with themselves! ”
Liu Zhao only felt that there were fine beads of sweat pouring out of his back, like a multi-legged fine worm, burrs crawling through the place. It's itching.
"How can the face of my life be damaged by the ants of the people? She later refused to admit that if it was found to be true, I would execute both of them. It doesn't have to be so much trouble to put people to death. Sometimes I fell and fell to my death, and sometimes I ate the wrong thing and died. There is a way. ”
"This kind of method, the emperor naturally has, but everyone is an ant, whether it is a queen or a nobleman who is respected for a while, or a small guard, it is just tossing and turning between the fingers of others to survive." Sui'er wiped her tears and said.
"Why do you compare yourself to a flower girl?" Liu Zhao shook his head, "You will always be different from others in my heart. ”
Sui'er looked at his face, still so handsome and noble, but his heart seemed to be different from before. "Your Majesty. This thing is true, but she is only familiar with the man, but she has no skin-to-skin relationship. In the future, the concubines didn't dare to say anything, and the emperor was the master. It's just that the concubine thinks that if the emperor is moved, she might as well cut off her thoughts; If you are not tempted, why bother to break up a lover. Although we are together, it is difficult to step by step, has the emperor not experienced the pain of being separated from life? ”
Liu Zhao looked at her. Hesitated slightly, turned his face and said, "I have already made her a maiden, how can such a thing be easily changed." If it is changed, it will not be easy to give away my woman. Where is my face? ”
Sui'er's heart was a little desperate, she was right, if Liu Zhao cared about her feelings, he would definitely listen to her and not let her be sad. But he didn't, just like that, a king is heaven. How ridiculous for reasons not to be violated. A heart is so sad that it feels like it has been immersed in boiling water, rubbed and rubbed repeatedly, barely floating, and then pressed to the bottom. In the end, he was just weak and weak: "If the emperor thinks so, the concubine has nothing to say, the concubine wishes the emperor and the flower girl to love and love, and the guard will be handed over to the concubine, the emperor can rest assured, the concubine knows what to do." ”
Liu Zhaodao: "Sui'er, you don't believe me, do you still think I like her?" ”
Sui'er stared at the emperor, forcibly enduring the wrinkled knots in her heart, her quiet and indifferent eyes were still the same, as if they were a bottomless deep pool, but there was a gentle ripple: "It's the concubine who is confused." The emperor said that he would do whatever he wanted. ”
At that moment, Sui'er's eyes seemed to have a cold light like a cold star in autumn water, with a gloomy resentment, and went straight to the bottom of Liu Zhao's heart. The light seemed to have some kind of burning power, and it stabbed him slightly. He was a little moved, but he turned his head to inadvertently avoid her gaze: "What do you want me to do?" I am the Son of Heaven, don't you want the face of the Son of Heaven? Or do you want to kill them, and that's it? I am not a merciless person, I have affection for you, for everyone in the harem, and for the people of the world. But Sui'er, the current matter is as light as a feather. ”
Sui'er raised her face and slowly floated a thin smile, like the cold and dim moonlight at the beginning of the month: "Yes, it turns out that the emperor's affection for his concubines is also his affection for others." "Tears blurred looking at the moonlight outside the window, the moon is so round, but at this moment it is so cold, people's hearts, what kind of thin paper, why is it so easy to break, can't pick up!
"Sui'er, why don't you understand, I have always been different to you." Liu Zhao saw her appearance and said a little anxiously.
"Yes, the concubine understands, it's a little different. But it's just different. The concubine is a little uncomfortable, and she can't serve His Majesty tonight, please go to the palace of the other sisters, and the concubine will send the emperor off. Sui'er endured the sourness in her and refused to see Liu Zhao again, is this the person who has been with her pillow for many years? Is it someone you have always trusted and considered precious? A sentence that is different from others, it is dismissed, a good sentence is different, his difference, is it just his own beauty? Is this a cold irony?
Liu Zhao looked at Sui'er in a daze, she seemed so far away at the moment, it seemed that she couldn't touch her heart, and she was so far away.
"Sui'er, did I say something wrong or do something wrong?" Liu Zhao asked in a low voice.
"The emperor is not wrong, it is the concubine who is wrong, and the concubine is too wrong. Your Majesty, I didn't prepare dinner tonight, the emperor is hungry, you can go to the lotus terrace, but you can go anywhere. The concubines will not leave the emperor. ”
"Sui'er, are you driving me away?" Liu Zhao was a little angry, obviously he wanted to talk to her and tell her all the grievances in his heart. Listen to her opinion, but she started a temper, which made herself even more angry.
"The concubine doesn't dare, it's just an ant, how can she be so bold." Sui'er was still faint, but her tone was sarcastic.
"You're sarcastic!"
Sui'er knelt down, "The concubines don't dare, if the emperor doesn't want to be so different from the concubines, please take it back, don't deliberately save face." ”
"That's how you think I'm good to you? You just don't believe in my sincerity for you? You've disappointed me so much! Liu Zhao was furious, pointed at Sui'er and said, "I, I, it's not that I can't dispose of you!" ”
The tears in Sui'er's eyes froze in her eyes, and she said coldly: "The concubine is helpless, and she also regrets her heart." If the emperor wants to dispose of his concubines, what can the concubines do. ”
"You!" Liu Zhao finally flicked his sleeves helplessly and walked out of Lingyan Pavilion. Che Qing and the others had already heard the dispute between the two outside, and they were so anxious that they turned around, and when they saw Liu Zhao coming out, they only glanced at Su Lan'er and trotted to follow.
Su Lan'er hurriedly pushed the door into the hall, and saw Sui'er sitting coldly on the felt on the ground, tears only swirling in her eyes, but they didn't fall. "Niangniang, how can you quarrel with the emperor, Niangniang has always been self-contained, why did you speak against the emperor today, although the emperor did not deal with Niangniang, but the emperor was already very angry. Mother, what's wrong with you? ”
Sui'er smiled, supported her body and stood up, "Let's go, let's go, I don't want his charity, if the heart is dead, what do you want those useless things to do!" ”
She shook her head and slowly stood the stairs upstairs, as if she was draining her energy with every step. Zhao Yu also followed, looked at Sui'er anxiously, and shouted, "Miss, you haven't had dinner yet!" Sui'er walked upstairs expressionlessly and didn't say a word.
At night, the shadows of the trees outside the window are swaying, and the pomegranate flowers on the trees are swaying slightly with the wind, exuding a faint fragrance, but Sui'er is staring at a corner in the dark, and all her thoughts are scattered. (To be continued.) )
