Chapter Sixty-Nine: Heavy on the Mind
Ye Xi will set off to the disaster area tomorrow, Zuo Qiu Xuhe is extremely unwilling, but she still knows a little about her personality, and no one can change the decision she makes. If he could go in person, he would definitely go by himself, but in addition to the flood in the south, there was also the invasion of enemies outside the western mirror, and he also had to prevent the Rongjiang and Chengguo from eyeing each other, so he couldn't spare time to go at all.
After noon, dark clouds drifted into the sky, which made the whole bright sky dark for a moment, and after a while, a light rain and a fresh breeze blew.
Zuo Qiu Xu and Gonggong An, who was standing next to him, glanced at the brush hanging on the table, and was blown around by the breeze outside the window, as if someone had gently tapped it. Grandpa An whispered to him, "Your Majesty, it's raining outside!" Go and close the window! ”
Hearing this, Zuo Qiu Xuhe raised his head and glanced out the window, shaking his head, "No need, it's okay to blow the wind." ”
What did Zuo Qiu Xuhe think of? stood up, "Let's go, go to Qifeng Palace." ”
Zuo Qiu Xuhe looked at the unapproved half of the recitals on the table, and thought to himself that he couldn't finish watching it anyway, he still went to accompany Xiaoxi, she was going to travel far tomorrow, and he might not see her for a long time.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe walked out of the door, looking at the drizzle of spring, his heart felt an inexplicable fear for some reason, and always felt that after Xiaoxi left him this time, she would leave him forever and would not come back.
He knew that he shouldn't have this inexplicable feeling, she had married him and become his own queen, although she hadn't fallen in love with him yet, but he believed that as long as he worked hard enough, sooner or later she would like him. But what he was afraid of was that he didn't have that time, and before she could fall in love with her, she would leave him, or disappear in front of him.
This Qifeng Palace used to be the place where his mother lived, when Xiaoxi wanted to marry him, he changed the Qifeng Palace, and made it the same as the courtyard where she lived in the Prime Minister's Mansion of Rongjiang State.
He understands the loneliness and loneliness of being far away from his homeland, leaving his hometown, going to a place he doesn't know, after all, he has been a proton in another country for more than ten years.
After Zuo Qiu Xuhe went in, he asked Father-in-law An not to report it, and he went in by himself. When he entered, he saw Yuxiu packing her bags, and she was sitting on the couch, leaning back.
There was no usual soft and friendly smile on her face, and there was a little more loneliness and loneliness, I saw her looking at the drizzle outside the window, and muttered in a small voice, brother, I miss you so much, what are you doing now? My little sister is going to a strange place again, please bless my little sister safely!
At this time, a voice came from behind her, "Slave and maid, see Your Majesty!" When Yuxiu saw the emperor in front of her, she was so frightened that she immediately knelt down and saluted. Zuo Qiu Xuhe raised his hand to signal her to get up.
This voice pulled back her thoughts, Ye Xi glanced at Zuoqiu Xuhe, but did not speak.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe walked up, hugged her, and Yuxiu left the room with interest.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe hugged her, his words were gentle and affectionate, and he was considerate, "Xiaoxi, you and me, I will always be by your side, I am willing to be your brother, become your family, be your husband, and take care of you forever." ”
Ye Xi let him hold her, because of the trip tomorrow, a burst of loneliness rose in her heart, if she had been in Su Mansion before, she would go there by herself, her family would definitely be by her side, but now her own brother can't accompany her, even her brother-in-law can't appear in front of her at any time, if she can, she is willing to return to the Su family, which used to be the warmest place, but everything can't go back.
Ye Xi leaned on his shoulder, sobbing quietly, tears soaking his clothes.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe felt a slight burning sensation on his shoulder, and this burning heat pierced his heart. She didn't want to cry, she just shed tears quietly, and this kind of little past made him feel more distressed and made him feel more pity.
Ye Xi didn't want to cry, she didn't want to be so cowardly, but thinking of her family, she really couldn't help the tears that came out of the frame.
Ye Xi leaned on his shoulder and cried in a low voice for a while, then raised his head, wiped away his tears, and smiled brightly at him, "Okay, I'm fine." Her self-composure and pretending to be okay expression made him more worried and more loving.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe reached out and stroked her little face, gently wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Xiaoxi, remember, you still have me." ”
Ye Xi looked at Zuo Qiu Xu and sincere eyes in front of her, she didn't know why, she felt even more guilty about him, shouldn't she make that deal with King Ming, use his feelings for herself, and let him fall into the abyss of feelings that he can't extricate himself from.
After he got married, he was really obedient to himself and took care of everything, for fear that I would be a little unhappy. King Ming wrote to himself a few days ago, and Ming ** said that she was going to raise troops and seize the throne, so that she could give Zuoqiu Xuhe a message and let him support him, so that with the help of the troops of Xidi Kingdom, he could lead the country into a country, and he could concentrate on seizing the throne.
Ye Xi was in a quandangle, she didn't know whether to say this or not, she was sure that she said it, she would definitely do what she wanted, but was it okay for her to use him like this?
Zuo Qiu Xuhe saw her panicked, with an absent-minded expression, and asked worriedly, "Xiaoxi, what's wrong with you?" He looks preoccupied. If you don't want to go to Zhuanzhou, I can send someone else. He thought she was worried about the trip.
Ye Xi relieved himself, hooked his lips and smiled, "It's okay, didn't think about anything?" ”
Zuo Qiu Xuhe didn't believe it, "No, you must have something in your heart, otherwise you wouldn't be so uncertain." Xiaoxi, I hope you can rely on me and don't hold everything in your heart, so you will get sick. ”
What did she say? said that he used his feelings for himself and asked him to help him attack Chengguo at that time, or did he use his feelings for himself to let him help King Ming break off, so that he would have no worries and seize the throne he dreamed of.
These words are a kind of harm to him, but after she got married, since she decided to use him, she has been hurting him, what should she do? Maybe from the beginning, she was wrong and shouldn't have taken advantage of someone who was true to her.
Ye Xi didn't dare to look at his serious and sincere eyes at the moment, looking at him like this, he felt even more uneasy and self-blamed.
Ye Xi closed his eyes, and Zuo Qiu Xuhe saw that she didn't want to speak, so he didn't force her, "Xiao Xi, it's okay, since you don't want to say it, just tell me when you are willing to say it." He grabbed her hands and whispered comfort.
In fact, he knew what was hidden in her heart, but he just wanted her to tell him personally. This entire palace is under his control, what is going on, how can he not know? She must have been annoyed by the letter that King Ming had written to her a few days ago!
He can control everything in Xidi, but except for her, he can't control it, and when he encounters her, he doesn't know what to do with her?
Ye Xi opened his eyes and looked at Zuoqiu Xuhe, "Zuoqiu Xuhe, please don't be so good to me, I'm not worth it, I'm not worthy of you treating me like this at all."
Do you know that I married you just to use you to avenge myself and help myself ruin the country. So please don't be so nice to me, so good that I'm afraid, so good that I feel guilty.
I'm afraid that one day, I'll really like you, and I'm guilty that I've always wanted to take advantage of you. ”
Zuo Qiu Xuhe grabbed her hands, clenched them tightly, his tone was bitter, slightly humble and desolate, with fear and uneasiness in his eyes, "I know, I know, but I still love you desperately, I hope you will always be by my side and will not leave me." "His voice is very good, with a slight magnetic voice in the slightly low voice.
He smiled at himself sadly in his heart, if he could let go, he would have let go, but he couldn't help himself, he couldn't let go, he couldn't hide, he couldn't avoid, what could he do?
Ye Xi looked at Zuoqiu Xuhe like this, and didn't know what to do with him? Ye Xi smiled bitterly and said, "You, you're so stupid! ”
Zuoqiu Xuhe also knew that he was so stupid to do this, but he couldn't control his own heart, so he could only do it according to his heart.
Ye Xi sighed, looking at Zuoqiu Xuhe, who was bowing her head and her face was full of sadness and loneliness, she was helpless, hugged him, and patted him lightly on the back, "Okay, okay, don't be afraid, I won't leave you, I'm already married to you, and I'll be with you well." ”
Ye Xi had done his best to comfort him, and Zuo Qiu Xuhe heard what she said, and his heart was a lot more relieved.
The rain continued to fall until the evening, and then slowly stopped, after dinner, Ye Xi saw that the rain outside had stopped, so he went to the Chengrui Pavilion in the backyard, leaned on the railing, and looked at the carefree and swimming koi in the lotus pond below, and he wanted to be like them, without worry.
Ye Xi whispered to Yuxiu, "Yuxiu, do you know? The fish only has a seven-second memory, so he can swim freely under the water forever. Yuxiu didn't hear her because she said it too softly.
Yuxiu asked, "Niangniang, what did you say?" ”
Ye Xi shook his head, "Nothing?" Cranky. ”
After Zuo Qiu Xuhe came to Qifeng Palace, he heard that the palace people said that she was in Chengrui Pavilion, and he also came here.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe saw that she was full of worries and her face was full of sadness, walked up to her and draped the cloak on her body, and after Yuxiu saluted, Zuo Qiu Xuhe waved her hand to let her retreat.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe sat beside her and let her lean into his arms. Ye Xi lay in his arms, thought about it, and told him about it! It's up to him to decide whether to help or not.
Ye Xi looked up at him with a serious expression, "Ah Xu, there is something I think it is better to tell you, as for how to decide, it is your business, don't do what you don't want to do because of me."
A few days ago, His Royal Highness King Ming of Rongjiang Kingdom wrote a letter, wanting to use the strength of your Xidi Kingdom to lead the country, so that he can avoid worries, and he can concentrate on raising troops to usurp the throne. ”
Zuo Qiu Xuhe saw that she finally said it, and he no longer held it in his heart, he was very happy in his heart, but his face was extremely plain and natural.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe gently held her hand, "Silly girl, you are finally willing to say it." I will seriously consider this matter, don't worry, I won't just agree to this because of you. ”
When Ye Xi heard this, he glanced at him fiercely, "Okay! You, I've been struggling with this matter for the past few days, I'm about to lose my mind, it's good for you to watch me laugh. Ye Xi was so angry that he shook off his hand and stood up.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe hurriedly grabbed her, "Xiaoxi, I'm sorry, don't be angry, I didn't see your jokes, I just want you to tell me about it in person, so, don't be angry, okay?" ”
Ye Xi stood, rolled his eyes, and looked like he wanted a ghost idea, "It's okay if you want me not to be angry, unless you ......"
She paused deliberately, and Zuo Qiu Xuhe asked, "Unless what?" ”
"Unless you let Xuanzhu go with me, I won't be angry." Xuanzhu is mainly responsible for the security of Qifeng Palace, and is the chief of guard for all the guards of Qifeng Palace. So he still has to have his will to go out of the palace with him.
Zuo Qiu Xuhe nodded, "Okay, let him go with you, multiple people will protect you, and I will feel at ease." ”
