Chapter 43: Confession

The night breeze is gentle, the bamboo forest is dashing, and the fireflies are dancing in the air. The pleasant scenery is suitable for pouring out and confessing, and the voice of the Heavenly Monarch is like the sound of Ai Ai's waves, and he said: "Jiangzhu, I often think that the most powerful person in the world is me, the head of the Three Realms, the Jade Emperor Haotian, who else has more hands to cover the sky than me?" But I also have my last resort. For example, I can't protect the woman I love......"

My heartbeat immediately skipped a beat, how could the Heavenly Monarch, who was in charge of the Heavenly Realm's life and death, take the lead in saying such a thing that violated the Heavenly Rules? I interrupted Tianjun's words and said, "Tianjun, you shouldn't say such a thing, just say it in front of Jiangzhu, Jiangzhu's left ear goes in and out of the right ear, but in front of other immortals in the Heavenly Court, Tianjun must not say such taboo words again." ”

I meant well, I gave advice to Tianjun like a friend, but Tianjun clenched my hand, and there was a warm love in his eyes, and he asked me rhetorically: "Jiangzhu, who else in the heavenly court is worthy of saying such heart-wrenching words?" ”

The words of the Heavenly Monarch made me grateful and faintly uneasy.

"To this day, you still don't know my heart for you, Jiangzhu?" Tianjun frowned, as if he had deliberated and deliberated before saying the words that he had cherished in his heart for a long time, but I was shocked. I withdrew my hand from the Heavenly Monarch's hand and stepped back until my back was against a bamboo. I shook my head and stared at the Heavenly Monarch in disbelief, the Ninety-Five Venerable, the head of the Three Realms, who actually moved my heart to me, no wonder the Queen Mother of the West wanted my life, it turned out that they said that I was a catastrophe of the Heavenly Monarch, and this was what they were referring to. The Heavenly Monarch took the lead in violating the rules of heaven, so how could the immortals in the heavenly realm be embarrassed? Once the East Window incident occurs, what should be done with Tianjun? There are clouds in the world: the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and this law may also be followed in the heavenly realm. The Heavenly Monarch was punished second, but once this matter came to light, how could Heavenly Court gain a foothold in the Three Realms? I am afraid that I will become the laughing stock of the Three Realms. At that time, the demon world, the demon world, and the ghost world will all set up flags to rebel, right? Once the Heavenly Court falls, the Three Realms will inevitably be in turmoil, and then the common people will be unfortunate, the people will not be able to make a living, the sky will not be the sky, and the earth will not be the earth. It's no wonder that the Queen Mother of the West wants my life all the time, my existence is such a big threat to the Heavenly Monarch and the Heavenly Realm, it is really a big matter.

I knelt down hurriedly, my voice trembled, my body trembled, and said, "Tianjun, I don't know what Jiangzhu has done not properly enough, so that Tianjun has misunderstood this." Jiangzhu is guilty, please punish the heavenly monarch! "My heart is in a mess, I even thought about self-determination, but I can't let go of Yang Jian in the prison, and Shen Ying in the Queen Mother's Palace, both of them have been involved in order to protect me, I haven't seen them safe and sound, how can I go with peace of mind?

The Celestial Monarch had stepped forward to help me, and I dodged to avoid his outstretched hand. Tianjun was stunned and looked at me inquiringly: "Concubine Xiang, what are you talking about?" ”

"As the Ninth Five-Year Venerable and the head of the Three Realms, how can the Heavenly Monarch take the lead in violating the Heavenly Rules? Everything started because of the pearl, and the pearl was willing to be punished. "I'll just pop the skylight and say something.

"So, I decided to abdicate and make way for Xian!"

I was momentarily stunned and looked at the Heavenly Monarch in disbelief. Tianjun's expression was extremely serious, he was sorrowful, his eyes were sad, and he seemed to have infinite pain in his chest, "Jiangzhu, do you know what Lu Dao is for, what allows Chang'e and Wu Gang to be an ordinary couple in the Nether Realm for a long time, and not let the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals chase them back?" Because you give yourself the heart to the belly of others, you know? ”

How can I not understand? But you are the Heavenly Monarch, no matter how you understand or understand, you are not allowed to act half a step beyond the thunder pond in your behavior! I was impatient, thinking in my heart, Tianjun treats me generously on weekdays, and treats me more favorably than the gods next to me, but I have always been polite and have not lost my temper, what happened to Tianjun tonight? All I could think of was the cherry blossom tree playing tricks. I suddenly got up, took Tianjun's hand, and went to pick his palm, shouting: "You come out for me!" You come out for me! ”

Tianjun was probably hurt by me, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but I was full of brute strength, unrelentingly picking, and almost crazy shouting: "Come out for me!" I know you're playing tricks! ”

When Bao Chan and Yu'er heard the sound, they hurried into the bamboo forest from the inner courtyard, and when they saw that I was entangled with Tianjun, they rushed forward and separated us without caring for a salute.

"What's going on?"

"Sister Xiangfei, what's wrong with you?"

One of them grabbed one of my hands, and they were in a hurry. My emotions did not subside, my breath was rapid, and my chest was rising and falling violently. Tianjun looked at me aggrievedly, shook off my painful hand, and instructed Bao Chan Yu'er: "Help Concubine Xiang down to rest!" ”

"Yes!" Bao Chan and Yu'er answered, one holding me and one hand and walking towards the inner courtyard. As soon as I walked a few steps, I heard Tianjun calling me from behind: "Concubine Xiang......"

The voice was extremely gentle and lingering, and I was stunned, and I only listened to him: "I say everything from the bottom of my heart, believe it or not." "Bao Chan and Yu'er have already looked at me suspiciously. I was afraid that Tianjun would say something suspicious again, so I hurriedly quickened my pace and walked out of the bamboo forest with Bao Chan Yu'er. Out of the bamboo forest, looking back at the forest, Tianjun is still standing tall, standing in the forest, the red spots on the bamboo body are transparent and crystalline, emitting a sultry red light, and the fireflies are still dancing beside him. The ambiguous light reflected on his face, embellishing the smile he had given me. I couldn't help but feel stunned for a moment. If he is an ordinary man in the world, the heavenly monarch is undoubtedly charming and wins the favor of women, but this is the heavenly realm, he is the heavenly monarch, and his love is not something that anyone can afford. Because he shouldn't have the love of men and women, just like he said at the beginning, what shouldn't have appeared must disappear if it appears.

"Sister......" Yu'er called me softly, a gust of night wind blew, I suddenly felt cold, and said in a low voice: "Let's go back to the room!" ”

*****************************************************

Early the next morning, Yu'er came to my room to serve me to freshen up, and I was speechless, and I asked impatiently: "If you have something to say, let it go!" ”

She was startled, and then said, "Tianjun didn't leave the Xiaoxiang Pavilion last night, and has been sitting in the small bamboo forest. ”

I was stunned, "What now?" ”

"Still sitting in the small bamboo forest!"

I panicked, so I hurriedly asked Yu'er to prepare a basin of washing water and toiletries and personally bring them to Xiaozhulin. Tianjun had been sitting against a bamboo, and when he saw that I was busy getting up from the ground, he moved quickly, pulling the clouds in the morning. He hadn't closed his eyes all night, and he had deep dark circles under his eyes, and he looked tired.

"Jiangzhu, why do you bring me washing water yourself?" Tianjun looked at me with some uneasiness.

I remembered my rudeness to him last night, and I couldn't help but hang my head weakly, hold the basin, and bless my body to ask for peace: "Jiangzhu to meet the Heavenly King!" ”

"Flat, don't be formal." It was as if the Heavenly Monarch felt that the number of rites had alienated me from him.

"Let the beads serve the heavenly monarch to freshen up." I handed the basin to Xiao Yu behind me, and I personally wrung a towel and handed it to Tianjun to wipe his face, and Tianjun did not shirk and let me and Xiao Yu wait. Because of the confession last night, he couldn't be natural and frank in the face of the Heavenly Monarch today, and he always felt like a thief, and his eyes didn't dare to match his gaze.

Wiping his face, Tianjun said, "Yu'er, you step back first." ”

Xiaoyu retreated quietly. There were only two people left in the bamboo forest, me and Tianjun, and he stared at me for a moment. I felt uncomfortable, and I suddenly felt red-faced. After a while, the Heavenly Monarch said: "Jiangzhu, if I take you to escape, do you wish the ends of the earth to follow me?" ”

Where can you escape to the ends of the earth? Before I left the South Heavenly Gate, I was shot to death by the Queen Mother of the West and the gods and immortals, and abducted the Heavenly Monarch, which is an unforgivable crime! How could the Heavenly Monarch be so naΓ―ve?

Seeing that I didn't say anything, Tianjun said again: "Jiangzhu, I know that you can't let go of Yang Jian and Shenying in your heart, they are your good friends, and you are worried that your own affairs will burden them." ”

Tianjun's words impressed me, it turned out that he was not confused, and he was as clear as if he was worried about my heart. It's just that when he faces the love of his children, he also has times when he is confused.

"Is there a way for the Heavenly Monarch to keep them safe without falling into the mouths of the hundred immortals?" For Shen Ying, I am not very worried in my heart, as long as the Heavenly Monarch is willing to intercede with the Queen Mother of the West, it will always be fine; But Yang Jian is not, he blatantly disobeyed the will of the Heavenly Monarch, put Chang'e and Wu Gang, who should have been put into the lower three realms, into the human reincarnation, and fought with the Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals repeatedly, he has long been a rebel and traitor in the Heavenly Court, if the Heavenly Monarch wants to forgive him, I am afraid that the immortals will accuse the Heavenly Monarch of conniving at his nephew, and it is difficult to block the mouth of Youyou, I am afraid that the Queen Mother of the West, the grandmother, will also avoid suspicion, and may not be willing to come forward.

Tianjun pondered for a moment and said, "Is it that I forgive Yang Jian, and let my mother not punish Shen Ying, so that you can leave Heaven with me without any obstacles, and go to live that beautiful and wandering life?" Tianjun looked at me with burning eyes, and my heart was at a loss. Is this a deal with me? Maybe I should make a false deal with him, and settle Yang Jian and Shen Ying before making plans. Why don't I want to leave the cage of Heaven? Get out of the way and fly early.

So I bowed deeply to the Heavenly King, "I hope that the Heavenly King will be the talker." ”

Tianjun pursed his lips and smiled: "You have no jokes. ”

**************************************************

Walking into the prison again, revisiting the old place, there is a different taste in my heart.

Yang Jian was only imprisoned this time, but he didn't suffer much from the flesh and skin, perhaps because the Queen Mother of the West stayed in the heavenly court and beat the dog to watch the master, and the prison guard didn't want to save the face of this grandmother. Although he didn't suffer from his flesh and skin, he was a lot haggard when he didn't see Yang Jian for a day, his eyes were deep-set, and his beard was unkempt, maybe he was under huge psychological pressure in the prison! After all, he used to be the obedient nephew of the Heavenly Monarch, but now he is a disobedient minister of the Heavenly Court.

"Jangzhu, why are you here? Have they embarrassed you? Yang Jian was referring to them as none other than the immortals led by the Queen Mother of the West.

I gave him a relieved smile and shook my head, "No, it's you who suffered." ”

Yang Jian sat at the shabby table in the cell and shook his head at me, "This has come to this point, and I will never regret it." Don't feel guilty for me. ”

I took out the food in the basket one by one, put it on the table, filled Yang Jian's wine glass, filled a glass of wine myself, and raised it and said, "Wine is a confidant, Yang Jian, let me have a good drink with you today." ”

Yang Jian looked at me suspiciously, there was an inquiry and worry in his eyes, I knew what he was afraid of, so he smiled and said: "If you have it, you can drink it, you can drink with me with peace of mind, the two of us will drink happily today, open our hearts, and be honest." ”

Yang Jian shuddered, and then clinked glasses with me.
