Chapter Seventy-Two: Promise
Shen Nanyan woke up from his sleep, only to find that he was sleeping on the bed, and his body was covered with a layer of velvet. The furnishings around her are different from those in Mufu, and she is now in an unfamiliar environment.
She remembered that she was in the palace, and this was the Palais des Fonts. But she clearly remembered that she was still sitting on the couch just now, why did she fall asleep in front of the bed now.
She rubbed her eyes and sorted out her brain, which was extremely confused because she had just woken up, but there was a person standing in front of her.
Song Heng saw that she was awake, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled at her: "Awake?" ”
Shen Nanyan stared at him for several seconds, her eyes were clear and bright, and she was even more amazing against the backdrop of her stunning face. It's just that his eyes quickly cooled down after seeing Song Heng, with a chill that no one should approach.
"The courtiers don't bother the emperor."
Yesterday I had calmed down most of the time, and although I was not as angry as yesterday when I heard Shen Nanyan's words today, I was still a little uncomfortable in my heart. He walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, ignoring the disgust in Shen Nanyan's eyes: "Miss Shen is smart and clever, and she is not very good at asking for people, and you don't ask for people like this." ”
When she came to the palace to beg for someone, she put on such a lofty posture, and she also knew that it was really not good for her to do this, but every time she saw Song Heng, she rejected him in her heart, and she couldn't help but want to be sarcastic and fight against him.
Song Heng had been sitting beside her, extremely close. If she looked up, she would have touched it.
She frowned slightly, got up from the bed and distanced herself from him: "My Shen family is loyal to Da Liang, but you threaten me with the life of the Shen family for your own selfish desires, what kind of face do you have to be this emperor?" What kind of face is there to be my brother's brother? ”
Song Heng didn't get angry but laughed: "Since you know my true intention of letting you enter the palace, then you still dare to provoke me and stab me in the eyes with Mu Zhaoping." ”
Shen Nanyan just relied on her to like her, so she deliberately mentioned Mu Zhao in front of him and stabbed him in the heart.
"Does the emperor really like courtiers? If you like courtiers, why can't you let me pursue my own happiness and force me to do this? Shen Nanyan threw out this sentence lightly, and her indifferent expression almost made it impossible to see her emotions.
There was silence in the hall for a long time, and just when Shen Nanyan thought that Song Heng would not answer him again, Song Heng hugged her from behind, and a low and hoarse voice came from behind: "I like you, I have liked you since a long time ago, even earlier than Mu Zhao, if it weren't for Mu Zhao's obstruction, you and I would have been together a long time ago." How can you let me watch you and Mu Zhao have a deep affection? ”
It's not that he didn't want to give up on her, her arrogant nature would only restrain her smile in front of Mu Zhao, but how could he be willing to be alone in the corner and silently watch the two of them together? If you can really let it go, there won't be so many infatuated women in the world.
Hugged by Song Heng like this, Shen Nanyan stood motionless like a statue, and after listening to his affectionate confession, his heart was not half turbulent.
She said calmly: "Your Majesty, true love is fulfillment, not possession. I am very grateful for your affection for me, but I have given him all my sincerity, and I can't respond to your affection after all. ”
Song Heng turned her body to face him and looked at her affectionately: "I don't need any response from you, I just let you stay by my side and let me take good care of you." ”
Since she doesn't like him now, it's useless for him to force her feelings, it's better to keep her and feel it sincerely. gets along day and night every day, he doesn't believe that Shen Nanyan's heart can still be icy, and he can't cover it.
When she opened her mouth and was about to speak, Song Heng hurriedly said, "Think about it, you don't have to answer me so quickly." She listened to him and began to think about it seriously.
"I'll stay." She bent her eyes, and there was a faint smile in her eyebrows. Seeing her rare smile in a hundred years, Song Heng was stunned, as if she couldn't believe what she said just now, and couldn't believe that she was smiling at herself.
Song Heng was ecstatic and took her into his arms, as if he couldn't believe what Shen Nanyan said, and asked softly over and over again: "Am I dreaming?" ”
Different from his dark and changeable personality, Song Heng's embrace is very reassuring, and she doesn't want to leave in his arms with peace of mind, Shen Nanyan shook the unrealistic thoughts in his mind, gently came out of his arms, and looked at him: "Since I have decided to stay, I naturally won't lie to you." ”
Song Heng forcibly suppressed the joy in his heart and waited for her next.
"It's just that you have to respect me at all times, and don't force me."
Hearing this, Song Heng looked at her with a smile: "Unless you take the initiative to fall in love with me, I will never force you." ”
This sentence is her sincere words, if she said those words just now to coax Shen Nanyan and let her stay by her side with peace of mind, then this time he said it from the heart.
He likes Shen Nanyan, although he is unkind and righteous in the matter of her and Mu Zhao, but he is a child of the royal family, and under the guidance of the respected master, he acts in a gentleman's style and has never had a treacherous heart.
"And ......," Shen Nanyan added, "you are not allowed to hurt my family." ”
"That's nature, and it's rare to want to protect your family, but don't mix it with any impurities." Song Heng's eyes deepened, and he looked at Shen Nanyan with a smile.
He was almost stunned by her shallow smile, and let himself lose his mind and not care about her flawed and sudden change of behavior. A second ago, because she was sitting in front of her, she was so disgusted that she made a special trip away from her, why did she easily agree to come down now, saying that she was willing to stay in the palace.
Knowing that she was hypocritical, he almost indulged in her smile, but now he was willing to be deceived by her.
A trace of panic flashed on Shen Nanyan's face, Song Heng's words were ambiguous, seemingly ironic, did he know anything.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand. ”
Knowing that she knew everything, but her pretended innocent and confused appearance still made him can't help but be attracted to her, he hugged her tightly, his cheek pressed against her forehead, and the cold breath of his breath swept over her skin, as if it were close and far away. The words slowly came out of his lips, almost word for word, "There is no Mu Zhao in the family you are talking about." ”
Being asked by him like this, Shen Nanyan's whole body stiffened, and the heart in his chest beat fast, as if it was about to fly out.
She left his embrace and looked him in the eye: "People are not grass and trees, it is impossible to be unintentional, I am in love with him after all, are you asking me to erase him from my mind now?" ”
They were so close that there was no sound in the hall except for the sound of talking, and Song Heng stood in place, with the sound of a beating heartbeat ringing in his ears.
Song Heng stood in place, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "How come?" As long as you break off your affection with him and don't see him again in this life, I will eventually let him live. He is also my brother when he returns, so how could I possibly kill him? ”
You won't kill him, you'll just let someone else do it to him.
You won't do it if you torture him personally, but you will let someone else do it. The last time Mu Zhao's injury was healed for a few months, how could Song Heng be the kind of soft-hearted person?
Hearing such hypocritical words, Shen Nanyan resisted the urge to repulse and said: "In this case, I am staying in the palace now, but I want to go back to Mufu, and my things are still there." ”
Song Heng stood there quietly, staring at her without speaking.
"Don't you believe that I really stay in the palace?" Shen Nanyan pretended to be annoyed.
Song Heng chuckled: "How is it possible, I will order someone to go to Mufu to retrieve anything you left in Mufu early in the morning, and now you can stay in the palace with peace of mind." ”
How could he not understand what was really going on in his heart? first pretended to agree to his request, let him send it to her family, and then left him under the pretext of leaving the palace.
But fortunately, he was fully prepared, and since he had decided to insist on keeping her people in the palace, he had already cut off all her retreats. He didn't let her stay in Fangxie Palace yesterday on a whim, according to the rules of Daliang, courtiers can't stay in the harem overnight, once it is known, it will inevitably cause everyone to discuss.
When the king's insistence on keeping his courtiers spreads, her reputation may be affected, and she may be said to be shameless, flattering to the king, or even more so to be a troublesome and cholera.
No matter which one he didn't want to see, but he didn't want to watch her run away from him again and again, as long as the news came out that she was staying in the palace by him, her marriage with Mu Zhao was bound to be affected, Mu Nan was a person who paid so much attention to reputation, especially watching his daughter-in-law who was ambiguous with the king enter the door of their Mu Mansion.
Even if Shen Nanyan leaves the palace and goes back, what will happen? Just the spittle of the people in the world can drown her, is it possible for her and Mu Zhao to continue to be together? She is not confined to the world, and may not care about this, but what about Mu Zhao? Will Mu Zhao not care?
Now it doesn't matter if he lets go of Mu Zhaodu or not, he has cut off all possibilities for the two of them to be together openly.
Seeing that Shen Nanyan didn't speak, he patted her on the shoulder, and pretended to comfort: "Don't worry, even your personal maid I ordered Zheng Fuhai to bring it, and the time should be almost up." ”
As soon as the words fell, Zheng Fuhai's voice sounded outside, although it was separated by a door, Zheng Fuhai's voice was still clearly visible: "Your Majesty, Miss Shen's things have been brought." ”
"Let the maid come in and serve." Song Heng said loudly.
After speaking, Song Heng took a step forward and approached her, with a gentle tone: "You should catch up with your people first, I will come to see you later." ”
