108. The prince wants to confess
"Silly Ruru, how could Brother Lingye leave you?"
The dialogue in the dream echoed in her ears, every sentence was like an inner call, she couldn't remember when and where she had a past with him, she couldn't remember when and when she had crossed paths with him, she didn't need to think about it anymore, if life was always so painful, it would be better to simply end it.
"Brother Midnight King......
He is in front of him, but the night king brother in her dream?
She crouched beside him, muttering in a trance, picking up the blood-stained dagger on the ground and slashing her wrist with the sharp blade......
The cold blade cut through the delicate skin, but it didn't hurt much, the fiery red blood was like a bewitching flower gurgling out of the wound, and Zi Ning's consciousness gradually became erratic.
"Click!"
The door was quickly pushed open.
"Ah, Brother Wang! Anxin! β
Chu Jiaowan's exclamation came from the door.
An Xin? Who is Anxin? Why did she feel like she was ...... As soon as her eyes were dark, she completely lost consciousness, and her weak body lay on Chu Lingye's body.
β¦β¦
Wandering on the edge of darkness, icy and snowy, alone, fluttering like an abandoned child who can't find a home.
Where to go? Where exactly should I go? Who gave her a light and a little warmth?
"Zining, wake up."
"Wake up, I miss you so much."
Whose cry is familiar and intimate? It made her feel warm and tired, and she felt that she had a harbor to anchor.
"Pounce!"
A wisp of warm liquid dripped on her forehead, and she slowly opened her eyes, and what she saw was Mo Ziming's tearful eyes.
"Zining, you...... Woke up. He trembled, and hurriedly wiped away his tears with his cuffs, he hadn't shed tears for five years, and it was really embarrassing for his beloved woman to see it.
She smiled, and wanted to nod her head only to realize that her head was heavy like a stone, and her body moved slightly to hold the tearing pain on her wrist, and she couldn't help frowning.
Seeing her painful appearance, Mo Ziming's heart was touched again, and he couldn't be ruthless when he wanted to blame her, and his magnetic voice trembled with pain: "Why do you want to do this?" Zining, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about the people who care about you and care. β
This little woman had already died for Chu Lingye once a year ago, and what was it for this time?
"Murder pays for life." She smiled gloomily, and she knew it was false.
"Silly woman." Mo Ziming sighed sadly, her slender hand gently held her haggard face, and stroked her lovingly: "He is alive and well, but you almost took your life." β
If it was any longer, she would probably not have had a chance to wake up.
That's good...... She breathed a sigh of relief.
Thinking about it now, even if she accidentally injured Chu Lingye at that time, it was he who forced her to be in front of her, and she was accidentally injured when she was desperate, and there was no need to harm herself, but when she saw Chu Lingye lying in a pool of blood, she thought that he was dead, and she was completely controlled by an indescribable but extremely strong feeling, and she was like another distant and strange self at that time.
"By the way, I found that person, and what happened that day was really Chu Lingye who designed me."
For fear that she would be frightened, Mo Ziming's voice was soft and gentle...... Zi Ning smiled movingly, she was not surprised, she always believed that even if everyone in the world betrayed her, Mo Ziming would not.
"His name is Huo Qiling, and he is a folk langzhong who can hypnotize. That day, Chu Jiaowan asked me to talk to me about you, so I went, but I didn't expect her to be drugged in the tea, and then she and Huo Qiling helped me to the guest room on the third floor, and when I was unconscious, Huo Qiling hypnotized me and forcibly implanted a picture in my mind, making me feel that I had done something to Chu Jiaowan, Zining, I am innocent, and Chu Jiaowan and I have done nothing. β
So that's it......
Chu Lingye really tried her best of scheming and means, and she should be relieved to learn that Mo Ziming was innocent, but why, her heart was desolate.
"Zining, promise me not to do such stupid things in the future, okay?" Mo Ziming lowered her head and whispered softly in her ear.
"Hmm." She pursed her lips in emotion.
As he spoke, the door opened, and Mu Wanyan walked in with a bamboo basket: "Zining, you are awake, you kid is scared of me." β
The gentle voice revealed the kindness and concern of the elders for their children, Zi Ning was moved in her heart, and said softly: "Auntie, I'm sorry for worrying you." β
"Really." Mu Wanyan glanced at her: "I stewed some black chicken soup, you drink it while it's hot, you lost so much blood, make up for it." β
"Oh, good." Zi Ning wanted to sit up.
"Just lie down and let Ziming feed you." Mu Wanyan walked over and handed the thermos box to Mo Ziming.
The heart was instantly filled with warmth, Zining's eyes couldn't help but be damp, and she said in a low voice, "Auntie, thank you." β
"It's still called aunt, it's time to change your words." Mu Wanyan chuckled.
The father-in-law who spoils her and loves her mother-in-law, marrying him, she must be happy, what is she not satisfied with?
β¦β¦
Seven days later, after noon.
"Brother Wang, you are just better, go slowly." Chu Jiaowan hugged Chu Lingye's right arm, and she could barely keep up with him with hurried steps.
Chu Lingye glanced down at her, slowed down his pace, and his face was indifferent and unsmiling.
He was stabbed in the abdomen by Xia Zining, although the wound was deep, it did not hurt the vital point, it was not fatal, and the effect of the medicine made him dizzy and excessive pain when the accident occurred...... And Chu Jiaowan said that after the accident, the little woman tried to commit suicide by cutting her wrists.
Seven days passed like this, and there were still five days left before the day she and Mo Ziming got married......
"Lord Wang, get in the car." Mu Xueman personally opened the carriage door.
Chu Lingye responded lightly, and got into the carriage with Chu Jiaowan one after another.
"What about her?" He asked suddenly, squinting at the window with bright dark eyes.
"It's already good, I came to work in the palace yesterday." Chu Jiaowan replied with a small mouth.
He didn't say anything more, just sat silently, or the light, and a layer of melancholy added to his handsome face.
"Lord Wang, Jiaowan, the road ahead is uneven, sit firm." As soon as Mu Xueman's words fell, the carriage jolted violently.
"Smack!"
There is a sound of falling.
Chu Lingye followed the sound and looked over, only to see Mu Xueman leaning over and picking up something the size of a palm from the side of the car seat.
It's a jade pendant...... His heart tightened suddenly, and he stared at it carefully, and the clearer he looked, the tighter his brow wrinkled.
"This jade pendant, is it yours?"
What's wrong with him? How can the voice tremble? Chu Jiaowan and Mu Xueman were both a little puzzled.
"yes." In his memory, this should be the first time he asked her questions that had nothing to do with her duties, and Mu Xueman was overjoyed.
"You...... Are you Ruru? Unable to hide his excitement, his body was tense like a string.
β¦β¦
The weather was particularly good today, and I could even see the waves churning on the sea from afar.
However, Xia Zining couldn't feel at ease.
Nearly an hour ago, Mu Xueman went to the palace to pick up Chu Lingye, and because his injuries were more serious, he alarmed the emperor, so he was taken to the palace for treatment. The man would be back soon, and she had stabbed him with a knife seven days earlier......
She was about to get married, and he never wanted to let her go, and she didn't know how to get rid of him.
"Click!"
The door opened suddenly, and Mu Xueman walked straight into the door and sat in his seat without saying a word.
This little woman, who has always been lively and active, is so strange and abnormal at this time that her face is flushed and her eyes are glazed...... Zi Ning looked at her suspiciously: "Heart is like ...... Heart-like? "It's customary to call her by her nickname.
"Ahh Mu Xue raised her head in a trance, looked at Zi Ning, and her eyes were sloppy: "The prince called you...... He called you. β
He really won't give up with her, Zi Ning sighed in her heart.
"Go, he called you." Mu Xueman's voice murmured, as if immersed in a sweet dream: "Go quickly." β
What happened to make this little woman so distracted?
Zi Ning didn't say anything more, and went out uneasily.
β¦β¦
The door of the prince's study was open, and when he walked outside the door, Zi Ning saw Chu Lingye.
He stood in front of the window, with his back to the door, his hands folded behind his back, as if looking into the distance.
"Lord Wang." She walked in, guarding against opening the door as wide as possible, so that he would at least be afraid of being seen outside.
He turned around slowly, his gaze hurriedly swept over her: "Sit." β
"No, I'll just stand." She stood at the door and looked at him indifferently: "Lord Wang, please have something to say." β
Chu Lingye's eyebrows frowned, and he looked at her silently: "You insist on marrying Mo Ziming?" β
"Yes." She nodded resolutely, always cold and defensive against him.
He walked to the chair in front of the table and sat down slowly, as if taking a deep breath: "If I want you to leave him and marry me, what do you think?" β
"Hehe, Lord Wang, are you kidding me?" She smiled, there was obviously a distance of nearly ten meters from him, but why did she still see his solemn face so clearly?
"I love you from the bottom of my heart." The faint voice, so nice and serious.
No matter what this man says, she should not care about it, but why is her heart suddenly throbbing? It's as if she's been waiting for this sentence for too long......
"I know, I'm a selfish and bastard person, even if I love someone again, I don't know how to keep her, I always feel that if I love her, I should get her and possess her, but you tell me that when the woman I love is about to marry someone else, what should I do?"
His voice was not high, but Zi Ning could hear it so clearly, and every byte was thrown into her heart like a stone, setting off wave after wave of ripples.
He said that the reason why he violated her again and again was because he loved her, but ...... She looked at him as calmly as she could, keeping her tone flat:
"Even if I don't have a brain, I still have some self-knowledge, lord, there are many good women around you, how can I get into your eyes? I know that you and Ziming have had some holidays in the past, but I am really innocent, it was I who inadvertently broke into your palace, and I didn't know how to offend you, I apologize, lord, I'm sorry, everything is my fault, please stop playing me like this, please let me go......"
Even though this woman is so delicate, she is always arrogant and unyielding when facing him, and never gives in, but now she does not hesitate to blame all the faults on herself, staring at her, Chu Lingye's heart seems to have been stabbed hard, and he takes a deep breath:
"How much do you hate me to stay away from me so iron-heartedly and marry him no matter what?"
But did she hear it wrong? Why do you think there is a strong sadness and complaint in his words? It's as if she's failed him too much...... The unknown corner of her heart was inexplicably touched, her head suddenly hurt badly, and she frowned deeply:
"Lord Wang, I've always been very strange, you treat me like this, has there ever been something between us?"
Once she was his wife, once she loved him to death, once she didn't even want her life for him, but now, even if she was face-to-face, she was so indifferent and distant from him, staring at her deeply, full of strangeness to her, Chu Lingye's lost heart was even more cold, and sighed: "It's nothing." β
"That's right." Zi Ning shrugged in relief:
"I had an accident a year ago, and I can't remember the previous events and I don't want to think about it, because I feel that it is easy and free to live like this. Lord, in fact, I think that even if there was something between us in the past, it was already a past, it was already in the past tense, don't you say? β
Letting go of the burden she once had, she lived very easily and freely, but did he care too much about the past? Chu Lingye's heart trembled heavily, his deep eyes narrowed painfully, and he didn't speak.
"Ziming and I are already in love with each other, I am willing to marry him, Lord Wang, I'm sorry, I'm not determined to stay away from you, I think even if I don't have a fiancΓ©, I can't have anything with you, you are really not the type I like."
Hehehe...... A rich sadness swelled up in his heart in vain, like a cold wind and snow, completely submerging Chu Lingye, looking at her, he laughed silently, and his heart and eyes were full of sadness.
Trembling, he stood up, walked up to her with heavy steps, and looked down at her beautiful little face: "Do you really feel that the past is a burden to you?" β
The faint words rushed to his face, sandwiched with the sweet smell of mint, so good, so familiar, Zi Ning looked up at him, his face was obviously indifferent and calm, why did she read a kind of injury and a kind of sadness in his eyes?
The heart was inexplicably touched, and in a trance, her ears seemed to echo the boy who loved her in her dream, and she called her over and over again......
Is that Brother Lingye the Chu Lingye in front of you? But just now he clearly said that he didn't have anything with her?
"Answer me." He muttered, the pain in his eyes.
His cold voice could easily arouse her feelings of resistance, and her thoughts instantly withdrew to reality, and she nodded: "Yes, if the memories bring only pain, why not just forget about it?" β
"Good, good." He frowned, as if he had been pierced by ten thousand arrows in his heart for a moment, his tall body suddenly froze, and even his voice trembled: "In this case, I will give you back your freedom, from now on you don't have to be afraid of me anymore, I will never pester you again......"
After saying no more, his trembling right hand suddenly picked up the cigarette pouch on the table.
"Click!"
It makes a crisp sound when the fire source is removed.
Zi Ning Muran stood in place, looking at his trembling figure, his heart seemed to be held by an invisible hand, and he didn't feel a trace of pain.
"Ahem, ahem!"
Because he didn't smoke often, maybe he inhaled too quickly, the smoke choked like his lungs, he kept coughing, his tall body shook into a ball, and the silence was distressing.
"Are you okay?" She opened her mouth unconsciously.
Sighing secretly, he didn't answer, and walked silently towards the window with his back to her.
This man is in pain, she can tell?
But is it really because of her? There is no reason, let alone possibility...... looked at her figure for a moment, and finally couldn't help asking: "Lord Wang, you said that you will give me back my freedom, does it mean that I can leave?" My joke book ...... "That's a picture of her."
"Get out!"
A muffled roar finally came out of his aching throat.
She shuddered and was stunned for a moment, but she was about to get married, and she couldn't just mess with him, so she took a deep breath and continued, "Please tear up that joke book, because I don't want to have anything to do with you from now on." β
As soon as the words fell, she saw him turn around, his handsome face distorted.
The trembling fingers couldn't even hold the cigarette pouch steadily, the cigarette pouch fell lightly, and the sparks splashed open, burning the small piece of clean floor into a dull color, he suddenly realized it, gritted his teeth, and squeezed out from between his teeth word by word:
"Disappear in front of me before I change my mind."
With a low roar, like a wounded beast, she did not dare to linger, and hurried out of the door, walking briskly away.
Even if he didn't understand her very well, she believed that he would at least not be able to violate her again in the future, and she should be happy, but how could her heart be empty, and a corner suddenly seemed to be emptied? The only thing in my mind was his painful and twisted face.
Extinguishing the cigarette butt on the ground, Chu Lingye sat back on the chair, leaning his back on the soft back of the chair, and in an instant, the strength of his whole body seemed to be withdrawn, leaving only hysterical exhaustion and loss.
"I can't remember what happened before, and I don't want to think about it, because I think it's easy and free to live like this."
"Even if there was anything between us in the past, it was already in the past, it was already in the past, don't you say?"
"If memories bring only pain, why not just forget about them?"
Her words echoed in her ears repeatedly, like a hurtful incantation, and her heart was broken.
It's time for him to let go, let her get ease and freedom to live, and let himself be quiet and liberated, besides, he has found his Ruru.
It's okay in this way, he has already confessed to her, and she insists on leaving, he doesn't have to regret it, he doesn't have to hesitate or linger anymore, and he doesn't have to make painful partings in the face of his former wife and Ruru ten years ago......
Zi Ning pushed open the door of the study and found that Mu Xueman was still in a daze.
"Xinru, what's wrong?" She walked over.
"Nothing." Mu Xue smiled in a trance, in the past six years, she has never felt so happy as now.
"That's good." Zining sat down.
Mu Xue was stunned, and suddenly there was a dull pain in her stomach, and she smiled: "Zining, I forgot to bring the medicine today, can you go to the pharmacy and help me get some pain-relieving herbs?" β
"Well, okay, Xinru, you wait, I'll be back soon."
Knowing that Xinru has a bad stomach and often has diarrhea, and today she is really abnormal, and it seems to be very uncomfortable, Zi Ning simply agreed and quickly went out.
The hospital is a pharmacy, after she went out, she sneaked into the hospital, and finally persuaded Dr. Wang to prescribe her a little pain-relieving herbs, and then quickly took the medicine and hurried back.
"Girl, you've dropped something." A deep male voice suddenly came from behind him.
Zi Ning turned around, and behind him was a man in his thirties and forties, with a square face with Chinese characters, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Wang Zhanjiang took a step closer to her, just finished talking about things from the palace, and when he came out, he inadvertently saw her coming out of the pharmacy, and felt that her figure was very familiar, and his eyes never took his eyes off her.
Zi Ning smiled: "No." β
Her voice turned out to be exactly the same as Xin'er back then!
Wang Zhanjiang frowned, then picked up the sachet on the ground and handed it over casually: "Don't patronize walking in the future, be careful with your own things." β
"Oh, thank you." Zi Ning took it over, feeling that he was very familiar, but she was in a hurry to deliver medicine to Mu Xueman, she glanced at him suspiciously, and hurriedly turned around and left.
"Have we met somewhere?" Wang Zhanjiang asked behind him.
She stopped, turned around and smiled bitterly, "Maybe, I forgot." β
As soon as the words fell, something suddenly hit her body, she was caught off guard, staggered back, her head was hitting the hard stone pillar, the clear pain was like a sharp needle, stabbed into the brain, fiercely stimulated the dark memory area in her mind, and in an instant, the memory seemed to emerge as if it had been destroyed......
All kinds of pictures of the past came to mind in an instant, as if thousands of butterflies flew around her, and her mind was filled in an instant.
It's like having a very long dream, a dream is a year, and in the dream she can't find the direction, can't find the belonging, and can't even remember who she is.
Now that she finally woke up, she knew that her name was An Xin.
The boy who appeared in her dreams again and again was called Chu Lingye, her Lingye Wang brother, her former father-in-law, and the man she loved in the past who would rather give her life for it......
Once upon a time she dreamed that he would love her well, and less than a quarter of an hour ago he had told her that he loved her.
Is it a dream come true? However, why is everything in front of me so empty and floating?
The endless traffic and the surging crowds are like illusory shadows floating in front of her, and the brain that has been silent for too long can't carry too much of the past, she feels trance, dizzy, her trembling right hand helplessly holds the swollen and painful head, and her weak body is like a crumbling grass.
"Are you okay?" Wang Zhanjiang walked over and hurriedly hugged her.
Familiar voices, familiar faces...... She looked at him and smiled: "Boss Wang." β
When the words fell, she couldn't hold on any longer, and she lost consciousness in the darkness in front of her.
β¦β¦
