Chapter 172: Midnight Invitation
Seeing that Liu Jing had been standing at the railing, frowning and worried, Xing Xiu strode over.
He looked at Liu Jing and said with concern: "Childe, are you worried?" ”
Liu Jing turned her head.
Seeing this moonlight, handsome and bright, nineteen-year-old guard, Liu Jing shook her head, and she sighed lightly: "A little, my heart is very messy." ”
She paced two steps and said slowly: "My father, I have always respected him, since I was a child, I felt that my father was as tall as a mountain, what he said and what he did was always planned for me, and he never did anything wrong. ”
Speaking of this, she turned her head to look at Xing Xiu, pursed her lips and said, "Now, he asked me to marry Gu Cheng." ”
When Xing Xiu heard this, he couldn't help but smile, and he said chicly: "Childe, this is really worrying in vain, you just made a deal with the queen mother, and you forgot?" ”
Liu Jing was also shocked when she heard this, she nodded and said, "It's the same...... That's it, I'll put this matter aside for the time being, and I'll explain it to my father when he arrives in Luoyang. ”
"That's how it should be."
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
Liu Jing knew that she would not be able to sleep, so she did not enter the bedroom, after Xingxiu left, she entered the study, and reviewed the rules of Huo Yan and others on the 100,000 hectares of land given by Queen Deng.
It was already night when she left the palace, and it was even late at night after she finished talking to Gu Cheng, and by now, it was almost midnight. In Luoyang City in the middle of the night, it was so quiet that only the barking of dogs came from time to time.
Listening to the dog's barking, Liu Jing kept busy. In fact, she was often like this in the past two years in Yangzhou, after a busy meal. only to find that the sky was already bright, and her heart was finally calm.
The same is true at the moment.
When the rooster crowed, Liu Jing blew the ink on the paper, rubbed her eyebrows and slowly flattened the paper.
Just then, there was a soft knock on the door.
Hearing this knock on the door, Liu Jing said without looking back: "Come in." "There are many guards who like to stay up late like her, and these guards have a lot of strength in their hearts, and they can't wait to use one day or two days. in a finite life. Meet or approach the expectations of your parents.
Hearing Liu Jing's voice, the door of the study creaked open, and then, a footstep came.
Liu Jing didn't look up. She habitually waited for someone to report her to her. But she waited and waited. I forgot that someone came in.
After nearly half an hour of busyness. Liu Jing felt a sore wrist, and when she stopped rubbing the brush, she raised her head. She found a person sitting on the couch opposite her.
This man crossed his long legs, and was leaning back on the couch to look at her quietly, because he was tired, his eye sockets were a little deep, and when he stared at Liu Jing, his lips were extremely tight.
This person, his facial features are carved out, and he is extremely handsome, and he is Deng Jiulang!
Liu Jing's movements were stiff!
In the blink of an eye, she regained her composure, lowered her eyes, and Liu Jing said casually: "I don't even know that Deng Lang is resting in the White House tonight. ”
Deng Jiulang was a little distracted, so he didn't answer. He stared at Liu Jing for a while before he said, "Why don't you go to sleep?" ”
Liu Jing looked at a few faces and smiled slightly: "I can't sleep, and there are many things, so I delayed for a while." ”
Deng Jiulang took a Tian Huangshi engraved with the words Liu Baiyi in his right hand and looked at it, and said in a low voice: "I have thought more than once that you can have everything in the future, enjoy wealth and wealth, and no longer have to worry so much." ”
As soon as these words came out, Liu Jing was silent.
Deng Jiulang looked at the Tian Huangshi in his hand over and over for a while, and then his slightly calloused index finger stroked the three words 'Liu Baiyi' on it, and said, "This is what you carved, right?" Compared with before, your current words are more sharp and colder, Ajing, you have really changed. ”
Liu Jing remained silent.
Deng Jiulang slowly put Tian Huangshi on the table, he looked up at Liu Jing for a while, and then slowly stood up.
He was tall and had long legs, and when he stood up, the whole person blocked the candle flame behind him, so that the long figure completely covered Liu Jing.
Standing there lazily, Deng Jiulang stared at Liu Jing, and slowly said, "You have entered Luoyang until now, but it has only been a month. In this month, you first gambled with me for the rest of your life, so that I could give you a fair try. As a result, I haven't reacted yet, and you are pressing for my promise step by step, and you said that in front of the queen mother last night. ”
He lowered his head, as if smiling, "Ajing, there is no such thing!" You didn't even give me a chance to breathe, so you pressed it step by step. Sometimes when I think about it, I feel that you don't want to be with me for a long time, and you are actually doing the same thing now and before, but you are forcing me to give up on you. ”
He threw away Tian Huangshi in his hand and laughed, "Two years later, you are really more and more ruthless......
Liu Jing remained silent.
Deng Jiulang walked closer to her, and after the whole person completely shrouded Liu Jing in the shadows, with a ding, he pressed the piece of Tianhuangshi in front of Liu Jing. Lowering his head and looking at her, Deng Jiulang said softly: "Ajing, every time I realize that I like you, you will do something that makes me hate you. Ajing, today at the queen's mother's place, you said something like that, how many sentences are true and how many are false? ”
He smiled and said softly: "I can't sleep if I don't understand this question...... Ah Jing, you see, at the queen's place, even if what you said was like a thorn, piercing me bloody, I didn't say a word or a half to dismantle your platform. Now, can you tell me which of those words you would have said that you had meant to be? ”
Liu Jing was still with her head down.
She lowered her head and looked at the reflection of herself and him on several faces, and it was a long time until Deng Jiulang smiled and waited quietly for her for a long time, and Liu Jing said in a low voice: "I really want to forget about you and start over, and I really want to marry someone else." ”
Speaking of this, she didn't look at Deng Jiulang's face, and after smiling at her reflection on a few faces, she said softly: "Jiulang, your home is too big, you are a person." I also have too many high hopes, and your heart for me is not so unwavering...... I look up at you as if I were looking up at a mountain, and the more I walk towards you, the more I find that I am still far away. Kuro, I don't see hope, I want to retreat. ”
"Retreat?" Deng Jiulang, who was still smiling just now, his voice became hoarse, and he said in a low voice: "You are so amazing." If you want to leave, you can do it? I couldn't. ”
Liu Jing's deep eyelashes fluttered. He smiled at his shadow and replied, "No, I don't know if I can successfully retreat." But since I was a child, I was most praised by the elders for my ability to endure and have self-control. That's what I thought. There will come a time when you will forget the light. Besides, long pain is better than short pain. So. That's what I did. ”
Deng Jiulang smiled hoarsely when he heard this, this time he seemed to have a very good temper. "So you're trying? In fact, I also thought about retreating, but I can't do it better than you, every time I just want to see you again, my chest is stuffy, and I feel that the whole world is empty and there is no place to feel safe. ”
Liu Jing didn't know why, suddenly heard such words, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red. She endured the sourness, and even, habitually, did not want him to see her abnormality, and lowered her head more and more.
When Liu Jing bowed her head and was silent, Deng Jiulang did not urge. For a moment, in this study, only the suppressed breathing of two people came.
Liu Jing stared at a few sides, until she felt that the cool air had washed her hot eyes a little, and she felt that she didn't seem to lose her temper anymore, so she said in a low voice: "Isn't this normal?" Growing up along the way, there are always a lot of things and many people, and they can't give up, although they are not used to it at the beginning, it is different after a long time? This man has to continue to live, and he has to live better. ”
When she said this, she smiled and asked, "I offended the queen so much in the evening, I wonder if she was very angry?" "Her behavior at that time was actually disrespectful to any person in a higher position. But she had no choice, she was respectful, and the other party's attitude was nothing more than that.
Deng Jiulang smiled and replied: "You are all ruined, how can the queen be angry?" She was only more stunned. ”
Speaking of this, he asked her again, "I heard that Gu Cheng came over later?" ”
"Yes."
"Gave you a letter home?"
“…… Be. ”
"It was said that after he went downstairs, he stood below and watched your figure for a long time without moving. Ajing, what did the letter say? ”
Liu Jing: "......"
Deng Jiulang smiled and said softly, "I know you won't say it." Fortunately, you still know me, unless you are at the last moment, you will never lie, and you would rather be silent if you don't want to say it. ”
After saying this, he slowly leaned over and leaned towards Liu Jing. From the time he entered the door until now, he has always been gentle, and he speaks in a good voice, showing a rare appearance of peace and willingness to communicate, so Liu Jing is also relaxed. But as he leaned over like this, Liu Jing subconsciously froze, and the whole person became stiff without being noticed.
Of course, Deng Jiulang discovered Liu Jing's vigilance.
He didn't raise his eyelids, but he was so close to her, his breath smelled with her, and the tip of her nose almost touched the tip of her nose, and said softly: "Liu, in the past month, that is, since you entered Luoyang, I have always been disturbed by you, and sometimes I open my eyes until dawn...... It's a very bad feeling, very bad, I've never tasted it. Liu, I know that you don't like me to threaten you, but I won't threaten you today. I invite you to go out with me for a few days, well, and stay in that place where my heart can be calm. You're not going to object, are you? ”
His tone is extremely peaceful, and the way he speaks is also very approachable, but Liu Jing, who knows him well, still understands that he cannot refuse what he says.
She raised her head and looked at Deng Jiulang. The thick eyelashes blinked for a while, and Liu Jing said with a smile: "But I just said that I don't like you, and I'm traveling with you, Jiulang is not afraid that your sister will be disappointed?" ”
"I can't take care of her now." Deng Jiulang also smiled, his bottomless eyes like the night sky looked at Liu Jing calmly, and said softly: "My heart is really troublesome, if I don't do something, it will inevitably get out of control...... How is it? Would you like to visit with me? ”
