Section 29 The Most Familiar Stranger (2)
When Yao Jin walked towards the front hall of Chenghuan Xiaozhu with a blank face, on the wide and long road outside the door of the front hall, she saw it, she saw the person.
At the first moment, Yao Jin didn't believe it, so she stopped and looked at it in a daze, looking at it, her eyes were a little red, how could she forget that back? has been silently guarding her, it turns out that she was infinitely close to that kind of happiness, the kind of happiness that she once thought was firmly in her hands, but now she is so far away that she doesn't dare to think about it. But in the end, she let go of her hand step by step, let go of Wei Yan, even if she approached him at this moment, what could she do - Yao Jin's mouth was astringent and bitter, her steps were a little heavy, and her knees seemed to be beginning to ache faintly again, a not too long way, but the torment and pain in her heart seemed to have tormented her for a whole century, and when she finally came to the door of the hall, she had to hold the door frame tightly with one hand, pursed her dry lips, and Yao Jin shouted in a depressed voice:
"Wei Yan. ”
Wei Yan seemed a little reluctant, he was stunned for a moment, and finally turned to look at Yao Jin, looking at the woman in gorgeous clothes. Her appearance has not changed in the slightest, she is still the Yao Jin in his heart, the one who wears a silver cloak and laughs with him in the cold night breeze of Zichen Palace, she is still her, those extremely smart big eyes are holding tears that refuse to roll down at the moment, that little face is a little out of shape, and her fair skin reveals that she is pale - Wei Yan's heart is getting more and more painful, more and more painful, he opened his mouth, and even raised his cuffs, but he didn't know what to say, or that he didn't want to, he couldn't.
The first emperor had asked him to take a bottle of poison to take the life of the little palace maid Yao Jin, although he couldn't bear it at that time, but he still went, and now the emperor asked him to coerce the eldest princess Yao Jin, who was already overwhelmed by the caged bird—why? Why is it always him, why is it still her?
The green tendons on Wei Yan's forehead jumped, he clenched his fists, and seemed to hear his bone knots gurgling, until Yao Jin called "Wei Yan" in a low voice, he finally shook his body and knelt down:
"Chen Weiyan, knock on Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, Her Royal Highness is a thousand years old. ”
Yao Jin smiled sadly and muttered, "If there is a thousand years old, I will divide half of you, and we will each be five hundred years old, how about it?"
It was as if something had exploded in Wei Yan's heart, there was no blood, but the memories were like some kind of liquid that would corrode people's hearts, slowly flowing into his limbs and overflowing his heart. Once upon a time, Yao Jin also said this to him, at that time she had just become the princess of this Chenghuan Xiaozhu, and he was a little guard who was willing to protect her whole life - I knew that it would be sad and painful to meet, but Wei Yan didn't know that this grief was so unbearable, there were too many involvements behind him, and he couldn't tolerate his grief at all. After a moment, Wei Yan took a deep breath and kowtowed deeply: "Minister, don't dare." ”
"Don't you dare?" Yao Jin looked up at the gorgeous palace, the white sky separated by the walls of the square palace, "I did a lot of things that I didn't dare to do, but in the end I was locked up here;
Seeing that Wei Yan didn't answer and didn't get up, Yao Jin subconsciously wanted to step forward to pull him, and the moment her fingers were about to touch his shoulder, she suddenly stopped: She can't, she can't. Because this person is no longer hers, this person has a wife and children, this person is already someone else's husband and father! The sour and astringent taste churned in Yao Jin's heart, her hand hung down, and the long skirt swept over the corner of Wei Yan's robe, and when she walked to the hall, she endured the tears in her eyes but couldn't help it, Yao Jin had to turn her back and raise her head, and said coldly: "Lord Wei, why did you come to see the lord of your country?"
Hearing Yao Jin's question, Wei Yan's heart sank again, and she slowly took out a delicate jewelry box from her sleeve and offered it with both hands, "Your Majesty ordered the ministers to return this item to Your Highness." ”
Yao Jin turned around and glanced at the box, it was not her thing, and she didn't know it, but Wei Yan said "yet" instead of "gift" or "reward", so what is this?
"What does he mean!
Before Wei Yan came, Li Yao had already told him all the previous conversations with Yao Jin, and he naturally knew what it meant to send this thing to Yao Jin, and after a moment of silence, Wei Yan still said: "Your Majesty said that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has a deep relationship with his brother and sister, and when you see this thing, you must understand what he means." ”
"So, you're here to remind me for him now, if I don't decide quickly, the next time I send it will not only be the sapphire of this Xuan Maiden of the Prime Minister's family, maybe a finger, maybe someone's head—right!"
Wei Yan straightened up, his gaze was just on Yao Jin's hand holding the sapphire, although he had never seen the owner of this gem, Wei Yan knew better than anyone else, in the past few years, Yao Jin and Xiao Nanguo have happened bit by bit, countless quiet late nights, he looked at the news delivered by Xuanjitang in private, his fingers stroked Yao Jin's name on the note, imagining everything written on the note in his mind: she went to Xiao Nanguo, she recovered the Roye Islands, she was injured- Everything about her was too far away from him, but she still couldn't help but tug at his heart.
"Lord Wei, does the imperial brother have anything else to say besides asking you to send this thing to me?"
Yao Jin's question woke up Wei Yan, who was immersed in memories, and he sighed silently and said, "Your Majesty said that the Zichen Palace has prepared tea tonight, and he will wait for you to go and taste tea together." ”
"Really...... In the end, it is brother and sister, it is really heartfelt......" Yao Jin's voice was very low and small, Wei Yan could barely hear what she said, and the moment she looked up to ask, her eyes were on Yao Jin's eyes. Her eyes were very bright, there was something cold flickering in her eyes, that resolute calm suddenly grabbed the softest place in Wei Yan's heart, he stood up unconsciously and walked in front of Yao Jin, walking so close, so close that he could smell the faint fragrance on her body, so close that he could see the tourmaline stones trembling slightly on her earrings, close enough to count her eyelashes. And Yao Jin also looked at him quietly, she tilted her head and pursed her lips tightly, as if she was waiting, and it seemed that she shook her head, I don't know how long it took, the two of them still looked at each other like this, did not retreat, and did not get close to each other for a minute, and then Wei Yan suddenly opened her mouth and said, "Yao Jin, I'm sorry." ”
Yao Jin, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
