115. 114 The rift between two men
Things pressed over wave after wave, Sikong Jin and Sikong Jue were originally happy to raise a lot of silver because of the auction, but they were suppressed because of the appearance of Nalan Jingxue, but in exchange for deeper and heavier thoughts.
Since they agreed to take Nalan Jingxue to the capital, the group quietly and quickly moved in the direction of the capital under the cover of night.
Two days later, on a dark night, they entered the Beihua Gate of the capital. When Su Rui passed through the gate of the capital, she felt a little embarrassed in her heart, unconsciously, she had been away from the capital for more than two months, and she had experienced more in the past two months than she had lived in two lives combined.
It's like a lifetime away from here.
According to the usual practice, Su Rui should go back to the Ruian Palace, but now that Nalan Jingxue is going to enter the palace, Sikong Jue and Sikong Jin will follow in the palace, Nalan Jingxue is moody, although he has some promises, but he has to guard against it.
So Su Rui also followed Sikong Jin into the palace.
After two months, it looks much colder, and the magnificent buildings that have endured hundreds of years of wind and rain seem to be sleeping in the night, but the constant patrols and guards show that this is still the center of power in the Hu State. It is the habitat of the royal family.
Feng Ling'er is now temporarily inhabited in the Huanhua Palace, so Su Rui and Sikong Jin live in the Jinhua Palace, which used to be the palace where Sikong Jin's mother lived. It is very close to the sleeping palace of Emperor Shunde, and the furnishings in the palace still retain their original appearance.
Nalan Jingxue was also arranged in the Jinhua Palace.
In the dormitory, Sikong Jin quietly looked at Su Rui, who was sitting silently behind the table, the two of them were full of words, but they were really alone together, but they didn't know where to start.
It was Sikong Jin who took the lead in breaking the silence in the hall, he looked at Su Rui, who had already been freshened up and changed his outfit, slowly walked in front of her, sat down next to her, and sighed softly, "You have lost weight." His hand slowly touched Suri's cheek, and a pair of handsome eyes looked at Suri's face that still looked quiet under the candlelight.
He really missed her.
He also wanted to push her into his arms. In the past few months, everyone has had a bad time. He was like this, and so was Su Rui, they had all been through so much that now Sikong Jin couldn't see what was hidden behind Su Rui's calm eyes.
"Won't you give me some explanation?" Suri turned his face slightly, avoiding the hand he had already caressed his cheek.
Nalan Jingxue's body was cold, and his hands had no temperature, the same as ice and snow, but Sikong Jin was different, he was very warm, and his palms had a very comfortable heat.
Suri didn't want him to be so intimate with her.
There are too many doubts and dissatisfaction in her heart.
She was afraid that her heart, which was not too hard and too cold, would be melted by these warm hands.
Sikong Jin sighed lightly again, "Are you asking about Feng Ling'er or about selling your dowry?" ”
"What do you say?" Su Rui tilted his head, his eyes were still cold and combing, since they met, although he had been rushing towards the capital, Su Rui didn't say a few words to Sikong Jin.
"Ling'er's matter is exactly as what the imperial brother said that day. She has no feet now, and if I refuse to allow her to marry, she will blindly beg for death. I believe you can imagine the situation at that time, how could she be so proud, such a beautiful person, how could she withstand such a blow, if I refuse to allow it again, I am afraid that she is no longer in the world. Sikong Jin said slowly, but he still concealed the matter of Feng Wuxian.
His second purpose in marrying Feng Ling'er was to win over Feng Wuxian.
If Feng Ling'er died in the palace, Feng Wuxian would inevitably have a dislike for the two brothers. If Chen Moran raised troops, he really couldn't tell which side Feng Wuxian would be on. The only thing the two of them could deploy now was 5,000 forest guards and 30,000 Praetorian Guards guarding. What to do to fight against Chen Moran, who has 100,000 heavy soldiers, but with Feng Wuxian, the situation is a different situation. He has 50,000 elite soldiers in his hands, plus the Praetorian Guards under his control, how can he fight a dozen, although there is still a difference in numbers, but at least it can be regarded as evenly matched.
A wry smile crept up on the corner of Suri's lips, "Only she is proud?" What about me? ”
"You're so understanding, so kind, you'll forgive me." Sikong Jin said slowly.
"Huh." Su Rui stood up suddenly, her heart as if she had just been fished out of the ice cellar, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were covered with frost, "Are you so sure that I will agree?" ”
Sikong Jin's brows furrowed slightly, "You are my princess, I will naturally discuss with you when I encounter something, but this kind of thing was also urgent at the time, so you can't back down a little?" ”
"Concessions?" Su Rui sneered, "Then what do you mean, if a man wants to die in front of me and force me to marry him, I can also agree?" And then come back and tell you that you are so good, you will surely forgive me? ”
"That's different!" Sikong Jin listened to Su Rui's words, and there was a faint trace of impatience in his heart.
He is different from Su Rui, Su Rui is a human being, and the emphasis is still on the one that is accepted in modern times, and she also considered that there would be polygamy before marrying Hu Guo, but at that time she didn't care about Sikong Jin, she just wanted to be a rice worm. So I don't particularly care. But now it was different, and she knew she cared about it.
Sikong Jin was born in the royal family, and compared to his brother, it is very rare for him to only have Su Rui as a nominal wife. His other brothers are all wives and concubines, of course, Sikong Jue is an exception, he just doesn't want to be bound, but his confidantes are not necessarily missing.
In his opinion, he was already very tolerant and respectful of Suri. Since she is a princess of Dajin, Su Rui should not understand the basic truth of marrying her husband.
So Su Rui's words really made him very angry. Where are the words that a princess should say, let alone a princess.
Sikong Jin looked at Su Rui's eyes and gradually became a little displeased, "How can you talk like that?" ”
"And what do you want me to say?" Su Rui also knew that Sikong Jin was different from herself, but she just couldn't help it. "I said a long time ago, even if you are my husband, you can't be above me, I want someone who can stand side by side with me!"
"Can't I stand shoulder to shoulder with you?" Sikong Jin asked unhappily.
"yes. Yes, just add another Feng Ling'er in the middle! Suri said angrily. Now there is a Feng Ling'er, what about the future? You'll have all sorts of reasons, and there will be other Feng Ling'er! Sikong Jin, do you know what loyalty is? ”
"Suri!" Sikong Jin was completely angry, and he stood up suddenly, "What about you!" You swallowed Nalan Jingxue's poison for the sake of a gentleman, where did you put me at that time? ”
"You know!" Su Rui looked at Sikong Jin in surprise and anger, "Do you know why you didn't look for me?" ”
"So it's true?" At first, Sikong Jin was still suspicious of Feng Ling'er's words, but now that Su Rui said this, he knew that Feng Ling'er was right, but he didn't know under what circumstances Su Rui agreed to take Nalan Jingxue's pills.
Feng Ling'er deliberately concealed the part where Nalan Jingxue poisoned everyone, Sikong Jin didn't mention it, and Su Rui didn't mention it.
"You didn't even want your life for other men?" Sikong Jin took a step forward and asked.
"The situation was critical, if I didn't do that, everyone would die!" Suri pushed back, "You really think I'm willing?" ”
"Okay," Sikong Jin suppressed his anger, "I won't tell you this." ”
"It's like you're being generous." Su Rui was furious, in the past month, she was frightened and tortured, and she actually changed these back.
The grievances and anger continued to expand in the bottom of her heart, and it seemed that her heart was about to burst.
"Then you have to explain to me about the dowry!" Suri roared.
"I'll ask you to borrow it first." Sikong Jin, who was upset by Su Rui's matter, didn't bother to say anything more, he just frowned and said impatiently.
"That's good!" Su Rui raised his eyebrows and smiled coldly, "Please also ask King Ryan to write down the note!" Since it was borrowed, when will it be returned? How to return? ”
"Suri, do you really want to do this?" Sikong Jin didn't expect Su Rui to say this at all, and his handsome eyebrows frowned even tighter.
"Really." Su Rui said coldly.
She even has to give her husband to other women, does she have to give away the money? She asked herself if she hadn't done that much.
Looking at Su Rui's frosty face, a few points of anger burst out of Sikong Jin's eyes.
"Good! Written to you! Sikong Jin couldn't help but snort coldly, "Bring a pen and paper!" ”
"Take it!" Su Rui really went to open the ink cartridge in the room, and then spread rice paper on the desk and grind the ink. Then he looked at Sikong Jin, "Lord Wang, please." She said coldly.
"Suri, do you and I really want to be like this?" Sikong Jin sank a handsome face and said coldly.
"Don't. Lord Wang, you know how much we love. Su Rui sneered, "It's better to write down the note, so that we can settle accounts in the future!" ”
"You!" Sikong Jin was also completely angered by Su Rui, these days he is also exhausted, originally thought that Su Rui could come back to talk to him, give him a comforter and encouragement, but he didn't expect Su Rui to be so ruthless for Feng Ling'er! I even asked him for a note.
He walked to his desk, picked up his pen, and wrote down an IOU on a piece of paper.
"Good. Black and white. Su Rui picked up the IOU stamped with the palace seal and Sikong Jin's private seal, and said in a cold voice, "This is only the principal, as for the interest, I won't ask you for it." You say return in three years. I'll wait for you for three years! ”
Watching Su Rui coldly fold the ink-blot IOU and hold it in his hand, Sikong Jin's face was already very ugly.
"This king is also tired of seeing the princess. Rest early. Tomorrow, the king will send some books, and the princess should also take a good look at it and learn what is gentle and warm. What is etiquette and shame! He stood up, shook his sleeves and walked out of the room.
The door was slammed shut in front of Suri with a loud bang.
Su Rui's hand clutched the IOU tightly, and he looked at the cold door of the dormitory, leaving two lines of tears.
If she could, she was willing to give these to Sikong Jin, just hoping that she would be inseparable from him in this life, but is it really possible? Even if she gave away all this money, he would still be Sikong Jin, the prince of Hu State.
The heart is gradually sinking into a cold, Suri, Suri, are you still fantasizing about pure love?
You're really stupid. A self-deprecating smile appeared on Suri's face, but tears continued to pour out, blurring her vision.
It's time to wake up.
She clutched the IOU so tightly that it seemed to melt into the palm of her hand.
Her heart hurts.
She thought she would be dashing, but she couldn't!
She kept persuading herself that it was time to wake up!
She couldn't help but touch the piece of jade Jue that Sikong Jin gave her in the inn, and the words were still clearly circling in her ears at that time. If one day you don't like me anymore and get tired of me, then please let me go.
At that time, it was just to leave a way back for myself. Even Suri never thought that this day would come so quickly and so decisively!
Even if this jade jue was in the Burning Heaven Palace, she was tortured, but she didn't throw it away, but wore it with a rope and hung it around her neck.
Is it going to be returned to him so soon?
After a long time, Su Rui wiped away the tears from his cheeks, walked slowly to the door, and opened the door.
The cold wind outside the door instantly cleared up Suri's already swollen head, and she let out a long sigh and walked out of the door.
It was cold outside the hall, just like her state of mind.
Only a few windproof palace lamps swayed gently under the eaves, and the lights inside also fluttered.
"Who's over there?" Suri noticed that there seemed to be someone in the darkness, and she said in a cold voice.
"If you don't sleep so late, it's naturally me who still cares about you." A man's voice sounded slowly, and the tone was kind and kind, but it made Su Rui's eyebrows furrow heavily.
Out of the darkness under the porch walked a gray-clothed man, the cold mask on his face still flickering with an eerie light in the light of the lamp. He walked out silently, like a ghost from hell.
"Nalan Jingxue?" Su Rui frowned and said, "How much have you heard?" She asked unhappily.
"No more, no less. That is, I heard you arguing. Nalan Jingxue shrugged her shoulders and said with a smile.
Su Rui was startled, Nalan Jingxue was outside the door, and Sikong Jin didn't even notice it? And the guards here didn't even find out?
Suri looked around, "What did you do with them?" No wonder she didn't see anyone waiting at the door, they were all lying in a dark corner, Suri asked in surprise.
"Nothing, just felt like they would get in the way of us talking. So let them sleep for a while. Rest assured, they will wake up tomorrow. ”
"Don't worry!" Su Rui couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, "On such a cold day, everyone froze to death after freezing for one night!" ”
"That's none of my business. I'm just letting them fall asleep, and as for whether they will freeze to death, that's their fate and God's business! Nalan Jingxue said disappreciatively.
"Pervert~!" Suri scolded.
"That's right. Do you want to know what Sikong Jin is doing now? Nalan Jingxue ignored Su Rui's anger and asked with a grin.
Su Rui was stunned, and at the moment when Su Rui was stunned, Nalan Jingxue had already grabbed Su Rui's waist with one hand, and led her to the roof of the dormitory, "I'll take you to see it." Nalan Jingxue said happily.
