158. Chapter 50
This sentence made her take five years to forge the heart defense collapsed instantly, she looked at the face that had been haunted by her dreams for a long time, and what kind of refusal could she say?
"Jin'er ......" Xiao Yu saw that she only looked at herself blankly, and did not refuse, and quietly stepped forward again. He embarrassedly withdrew his hand that had stayed in mid-air, and sighed softly, "Are you so reluctant to see me?" β
After five years, the nightmare in her heart still hasn't dissipated, is she still unwilling to face him? is all because of Xiao Shaokang, who died early, is it really such a big blow to her?
At that moment, Xiao Yu's calm heart finally overflowed with remorse. If he had known that this would happen, would he have let the events of that night happen?
It's not that he doesn't want to see him, it's just that as soon as he sees him, Xiao Shaokang's rippling smile will appear in front of Du Yunjin's eyes. Guilt and guilt were like two mountains that would never disappear, pressing on her heart and making her unable to move. In this case, she couldn't return to Xiao Yu's side with peace of mind, as if to do so was to be sorry for Xiao Shaokang, who died early.
The sunny teenager, with a pure smile, appeared in front of her eyes again and again, surrounding her dreams.
Xiao Yu silently looked at the change in the expression on Du Yunjin's face in front of him, although he didn't want to admit it, he also knew that her smile at this time didn't seem to be just for him, that person carved his place in her heart, in such a tragic and profound way.
His sigh grew longer, and a frown of his who had used to draw a concerned look from her had now been ignored by her for his deliberately outward slump. Xiao Yu turned around from her in front of her and walked quietly towards the outside of the courtyard.
The back in the afterglow of daylight looks lonely, and the occasional falling dead leaves set off the gloom of the courtyard. He walked quietly, not knowing if he would come back next time. Du Yunjin knew that she had broken his heart, she actually knew every time he came, but she let him outside the hospital and never saw him.
"Ah Yu ......"
The sound was blown by the breeze, leaving no trace, and the back in front of him was naturally not heard.
This is her life. Du Yunjin closed the door again, isolating her from him again.
"Your Highness!"
There seemed to be a heavy object falling to the ground outside, and then Guo Housheng's slightly shrill voice suddenly rose. "Your Highness, what's wrong with you?"
Isn't it......
Du Yunjin panicked, hurriedly opened the door again, and happened to see Guo Housheng holding Xiao Yu who was falling, and anxiously calling the palace people around.
"Ayu!" She couldn't care about anything else, and all she saw in front of her was Xiao Yu's weak and fallen appearance at this time. "Ayu, what's wrong with you?"
"!" Guo Housheng heard the familiar voice coming from behind him, and turned his head to see Du Yunjin running over. With a bitter face, he looked at Xiao Yu who was leaning on him and looked at Du Yunjin with a blank look.
"Grandpa Guo, what's wrong with Ah Yu?" Someone who was fine just now suddenly fainted. Du Yunjin looked at Xiao Yu on Guo Housheng's body worriedly, his face was pale, and cold sweat kept breaking out on his forehead. He must have been unwell a long time ago, but he still bred himself up to his door, just to look at her. Why didn't she notice anything strange about him!
"Niangniang, Your Highness, he ......" Guo Housheng looked at the crowd around him, and stopped talking: "Niangniang, let's send His Highness to the room to rest first." β
"Okay." Du Yunjin did not object, took advantage of the situation to hold the other side of Xiao Yu, and sent him to his house with Guo Housheng.
As he had imagined, the dΓ©cor in this Buddhist hall was simple, empty except for the necessary utensils, and it was really like a practice. Xiao Yu opened her eyes slightly, and quietly looked at the house where she had lived for five years when Du Yunjin had not noticed.
Even so, there is still a unique smell wafting through the room, like a newly sprouted grass in spring, exuding a light fragrance.
"Father-in-law Guo......" Du Yunjin tucked the quilt for him, and looked at Xiao Yu in a coma worriedly, while asking Guo Housheng, who was standing beside him. Grandpa Guo, why is His Royal Highness? β
Guo Housheng lowered his head, faced Du Yunjin's inquiry, and sighed long before saying, "This ......"
"Say it quickly!" He still looked like he wanted to speak and stopped, and during the period, he secretly looked at Xiao Yu who was in a coma, looking embarrassed.
"Father-in-law Guo, you are the old man next to His Highness, Your Highness has become like this, you must know it, and please let me know about it." Guo Housheng is Xiao Yu's loyal servant, if he is forced by power, he may not be able to get what he wants to know, Du Yunjin knows very well that for this old servant, what she can use is to move with affection.
"Actually, Your Highness is like this, all because of you!" Guo Housheng seemed to have made up his mind, raised his head and looked directly at Du Yunjin, and said: "Niangniang locked herself in the Buddha Hall, and His Royal Highness locked herself in the East Palace. Every day, he disregards the hard work of his official duties, and often forgets to even rest. Hosen also persuaded His Royal Highness, but His Royal Highness said, 'If you don't do this, I'm afraid you will think of Niangniang, and you will come to disturb Niangniang's cultivation and make Niangniang unhappy.' If you stay up like this, even the best body can't bear it. A few days ago, I also fainted once in the study of the East Palace, and the imperial doctor said that His Royal Highness was not sick, but overworked and needed to recuperate. β
"He ......" Du Yunjin looked at Xiao Yu on the bed in surprise, she didn't expect him to go to such a point for her. She is obviously not so good, she is obviously an unclean woman, how can she be so sincere to him.
"What about Liang Liangdi? Wasn't she by His Highness's side? β
"Alas......" Guo Housheng sighed again when he heard Du Yunjin mention Liang Naixin. If His Royal Highness allowed Liang Liangdi to accompany him, it would be fine. But His Royal Highness only has Niangniang in his heart, and no matter how good Liangdi is, it is rare to announce it once. His Royal Highness stayed in the study all day, and was reprimanded by the queen many times for this matter. β
"But......" She always thought that Liang Naixin was in the East Palace, even though Xiao Yu had been sad because of her, but with her childhood sweetheart by her side, she wouldn't think about her for too long. She thought that Xiao Yu, who lived in the outside world of the Buddhist hall, would live well, but what she didn't expect was that she was cultivating in the Buddhist hall, and Xiao Yu was torturing herself in the East Palace.
"Niangniang," Guo Housheng kept watching Du Yunjin's expression change from the corner of his eyes, and when he saw her sad face, he shook the Buddha dust in his arm, and deliberately lowered his voice and said: "Your Majesty has not recovered from her illness for a long time, and the situation in the DPRK and China is difficult to distinguish. Concubine Benqing lost power, which was a great time for His Royal Highness, but the queen was sad about King Yu's affairs and kept saying that she was sick and did not leave the palace. In the harem, the real person in power is Concubine Rong, Concubine Rong has no children under her knees, and she has been going with King Qing very frequently in recent years, and King Qing has been even more ready to move in recent months. The large battalions on the outskirts of Beijing were frequently mobilized, except for the northern Xinjiang and southern Jiangsu garrisoned by General Du and General Rong, and there were signs of troop build-up in other places, such as Yizhou and Yuzhou. β
