Chapter 188: Letting a Horse Go
Ling Zhao sat there dejectedly, opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say, and later, the light in her eyes was gradually replaced by despair, Nuan Jin thought, at that moment, I think she really gave up this idea.
She sneered: "The people's girl is a good plan? No matter how good the plan is, it can't compare to the princess and the donkey, since you already know the truth, you are still waiting for the folk girl to jump in by herself? ”
"Do you feel wronged if you dare to love?" Jin Xiangrong scoffed a little.
Hu Qing'an knelt there, his face was slightly pale, thinking that he had loved him after all, even if he was betrayed, there was still a soft place in his heart for Ling Zhao.
"How dare a folk girl be wronged? We are just ants, the emperor said that we are ordinary people when we are degraded to commoners, and the emperor wants us to die, so we naturally can't live the next day. Ling Zhaoda had a feeling of letting go, "The folk girl is here, if you want to kill it, you will follow you!" ”
When she said this, it made Nuan Jin and Jin Xiangrong quite helpless, although she had already surrendered to the law, but it seemed that it was unreasonable for the two of them to deal with it in private, and there was no way to explain it to the Ling family when they turned around.
Just when the two of them couldn't make up their minds, fake soda came in with a curtain, and when he saw Jin Xiangrong, he immediately whispered a few words in his ear.
After hearing this, Jin Xiangrong raised the corners of his lips, and whispered to Nuan Jin: "Princess, the prince is here." ”
Nuan Jin's face changed: "Really? ”
Jin Xiangrong nodded: "This son has already entered the princess's mansion and is coming to our Qianchen Courtyard." ”
Nuan Jin glanced at Ling Zhao, who was kneeling at the bottom, with a complicated expression, thinking that she never dreamed that she would reunite with the prince in this situation.
"Masters, get ready to take over."
Nuan Jin and Jin Xiangrong both got up, and stood at the door of the Nuan Pavilion under the puzzled eyes of Ling Zhao and Hu Qingan.
Within a moment, the curtain of the warm pavilion was lifted again, and the prince walked in in civilian clothes, accompanied by Yan Hehuan and Huihui.
"Sister to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to say goodbye."
"Wechen greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The prince walked over quietly, and a pair of phoenix eyes never looked at the two people kneeling on the ground.
He was dressed in a dark cloud pattern brocade dress, and the corners of his lips were lightly pursed, and he couldn't see joy or anger, but he was as handsome as a god.
Ling Zhao was completely dumbfounded the moment the prince stepped into the warm pavilion, and looked at the prince's every movement and every expression in a daze.
He is unsmiling, condescending, and even stingy with a glance at himself.
The prince answered, sat on the soft collapse, took the Biluochun handed by Tao Tao, opened the lid of the cup and gently scraped the tea leaves floating on it, he didn't speak again, a room of people waited so quietly, only to see the prince blow the hot tea, raised his eyes, and said lightly: "The princess and the horse sit." ”
The two of them thanked each other, and then sat down in the hat chair below.
"I heard that someone sued the princess for having an affair with the palace, and it got to the princess?" Although the prince asked, there was no doubt in his eyes.
Nuan Jin cleared his throat: "Back to Your Highness, it's an old man." ”
"Oh?" The crown prince finally moved his gaze to Ling Zhao and Hu Qing'an, "These two? ”
At this moment, Ling Zhao's hair was messy, his eyes were red and swollen, and he looked down-and-out, never as delicate as he was when he was an official lady.
Ling Zhao was most reluctant to meet the crown prince in such a situation, his appearance like this would definitely make His Royal Highness the crown prince despise, especially after knowing what he had done, he couldn't tell how disgusted he was, maybe a person like himself should not even think about it, even if he was thinking about it, he was blaspheming the prince.
She was ashamed at the moment, and knelt there with her cheeks flushed and her head sunk very low.
The prince was angry, and on the way here, he thought of a lot of punishment methods, and he dared to frame himself, he couldn't wait to break her body into thousands of pieces and dismantle eight pieces to set an example!
But somehow, when I saw her like this, I had a little soft-heartedness.
She was also a high-ranking official lady, who was favored by thousands of people, and even if she didn't marry herself in the future, she would have an excellent marriage, but later because of the things of the previous dynasty, the emperor was angry, and she was once reduced to a concubine, and the feeling of falling from the clouds into the dust is afraid that only the parties can know the bitterness.
The prince was silent for a long time, and finally just whispered: "Xiao Zhao......" Although there is no friendship, there is pity.
It was this soft sound that Ling Zhao shook violently, and looked up at the prince in disbelief, and the eyes that were originally desperate lit up again.
The crown prince sighed: "You are not like this...... The gentle, affectionate, virtuous and virtuous lady I know in this palace, will never do such a dirty thing. ”
"I ......" Ling Zhao was dumbfounded, and a monstrous wave suddenly appeared in his heart, and the bitterness could completely devour himself.
The crown prince glanced at Hu Qing'an, who was kneeling beside him: "You have no fate with this palace after all, why don't you hold on to what you have now?" ”
Ling Zhao was stunned, not knowing why.
The prince smiled: "You should know, if you find a person in this life, it is the luckiest thing, not to mention that he treats you well and is wholeheartedly with you, and you can stay with him until you are old, how lucky it is." He sighed, and his gaze drifted to Yan Hehuan on the side, "Some people, even if they are in a high position and hold unlimited rights, they can't have the person they like, you should cherish this opportunity." ”
What the prince said was so sincere that Hu Qingan, who was kneeling on the side, couldn't help but look up at him.
"But I'm ......," Ling Zhao's eyes reddened, "but I should be your crown princess." ”
The prince shook his head with a smile, slightly helpless: "What you value is just the status and respect of being the crown princess, although this status is high, you will also bear the loneliness and responsibility of being overwhelmed by the cold, and the burden on your shoulders is heavy, you will not feel too much happiness, and these are far less precious than the people who wish to have one heart and the white head are not separated." ”
Ling Zhao was completely silent, thinking that the prince's words had finally touched her, making her unconsciously look at Hu Qing'an on the side.
And at this moment, Hu Qingan also looked back at her silently.
The prince sighed, leaned back in the chair, his expression was a little strange, half pleased, half envious, I think that no one here can understand the pain of love more than the prince.
"This time this palace remembers your first offense, give you a chance to reform yourself, I hope you can grasp the present, grasp your own happiness, if there is a next time, don't blame this palace for being ruthless, and don't blame you Ling for not punishing again."
The prince said very implicitly, but the meaning could not be clearer, the Ling family has been demoted to a concubine, and if he is punished again, there will only be one life left.
This ending Nuan Jin and Jin Xiangrong didn't expect it, they felt that the prince was too benevolent, Ling Zhao wanted to frame the prince in order to seek his own honor, it was really his heart to be punished, how could this be the prince's business, he intended to show mercy to his subordinates, and Nuan Jin and Jin Xiangrong couldn't do it.
Later, Ling Zhao's matter could not be resolved under the prince's consent, and she also left the princess's mansion accompanied by Hu Qing'an.
The crown prince left the palace suddenly this time, and did not take leave to the emperor, and this time the prince was also in a hurry to return to the palace, he got up and looked at Nuan Jin and Jin Xiangrong: "What this palace said to Ling Zhao just now is also what I said to you. ”
Nuan Jin was stunned and silent.
The prince glanced at Jin Xiangrong: "The rare thing in this world is to stay together, and the most rare thing is to stay with the person you love, if you have found the lover of this life, why waste the years like this?" ”
The prince saw that the two of them had an indescribable awkwardness there, and lamented in his heart that their relationship might not be in a hurry, but he just hoped that with Ling Zhao's matter, the relationship between them could be eased.
This day passed extremely long, and after the prince and his party left, Nuan Jin was able to breathe a sigh of relief.
Jin Xiangrong could see her exhaustion, it stands to reason that he should leave at this time, leaving her a clean place, but somehow, the prince's words today made him feel a lot, why did he waste such a beautiful day with her because of his momentary anger?
He made a look, pretending that Su understood, and secretly gestured, and the people in the room, along with Tao Tao and Nanyi, also quietly retreated.
Silence returned to the warm pavilion, Nuan Jin's face was calm, I don't know how long it took to come back to his senses, and he turned his head to see that Jin Xiangrong was still quietly staying here.
"Thank you."
Jin Xiangrong looked at her: "Thank you for what?" ”
"I know that the prince's handwritten letter was requested by you, and the prince's visit was also invited by you."
Jin Xiangrong turned his head and looked at the unclear scenery outside the window: "I just don't want to embarrass you." ”
She was touched in her heart and took a deep breath: "That's why I want to thank you." ”
Jin Xiangrong shook his head: "Ah Nuan......"
"Huh?"
"Do we still have to do that? His Royal Highness the Prince's words are not unreasonable, since we are married and living under one roof, but such a cold day is not what you and I want......"
Nuan Jin was silent, his expression gradually became solemn, Jin Xiangrong saw this, and there was a trace of loss in his heart: "I know that it is always difficult to make you pay sincerely, but we can still be good friends, we can talk about everything, we can be intimate, even if you can't do it now, it's nothing, I can wait for you slowly, accompany you, as long as you are willing to give me this opportunity, don't always reject me thousands of miles away......"
"I ......"
Nuan Jin's throat was slightly sour, she didn't know what to say, she had to admit that the prince's words moved Ling Zhao and herself, but she finally had the shadow of Cen Run in her heart, and she couldn't forget it all for a while.
She struggles and suffers every day, unable to let go of the past and grasp the future, like a lonely boat drifting on the sea, unable to reach the other shore before and after.
In the end, she still cried, I don't know if it was because she couldn't forget Cen Run, or because she felt sorry for Jin Xiangrong, who was begging in front of her, she felt that it was not easy to live, just like her brother's words, it is not a high power, you can have what you really like.
