Chapter 238: Relatively Speechless
The army is stationed, and Kyoto is determined, even if there are scholars who swear to resist, they can't make much waves after all.
For a few days, Zhao Xian didn't ask about foreign affairs, and had been waiting for Ye Sha in Anfu, wanting to wait for her to wake up. It's a pity that the former princess seems to have completely changed into a sleeping beauty, and she doesn't want to open her beautiful eyes despite his calls. Zhao Xian was worried, but helpless.
The army was stationed in Kyoto, and eating, drinking, and Lazar was a huge expense. It is impossible for him to stay here for a long time for personal reasons, and he must set off for the Northern Qi Face Saint with a large army, so he must leave as soon as possible.
The summer rain does not stop, so I can only wait for the weather to clear. At noon, Zhao Xian sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the silver pendant and a few letters in his hand, and let out a few smirks from time to time.
Ye Sha lay quietly on the bed, Ruyu Jiao's face was a little more ruddy, her breathing was steady, if it weren't for the slight whitening of her lips, there would be no difference from deep sleep.
After days of heavy rain, gusts of wind suddenly blew, and a few drops of rain drifted in from the propped up window and fell on the letter paper in his hand. Zhao Xian was shocked at this time, and hurriedly got up and closed the window, but he didn't notice a few drops of rain on Ye Sha's smooth cheeks, causing her eyelashes to tremble slightly a few times, and then returned to calm and calm a little.
There was a soft sound of footsteps at the door, and the door was gently pushed open in a creaking sound, and Ziyue came to the room with a wooden plate, put the food in it on the small table, and said with concern: "Young master, eat something!" ”
Zhao Xian sat down at the table, and Ziyue hurriedly picked up the wine jug and poured wine. He was quite unaccustomed to it, and patted the round stool next to him: "Sit down and eat together!" I've been with me for so long, and I still don't know that I don't have a young master's temper. ”
"Oh!" Ziyue's beautiful big eyes flashed slightly, and she bit her lower lip and sat down next to her. But he didn't move his chopsticks, but his expression stopped talking.
Twist the peanuts and throw them into your mouth, slowly turn into a fragrant paste between chewing, and drink it all from the wine glass, Zhao Xiancai chuckled: "If you have anything to say, just say it!" What else can I do with you? Do you fancy which son-in-law wants to marry? If yes, let me say it, except for Yue Jiheng, I am not good at commanding, and the other men are whatever you choose, and I will kill him if you dare to treat you well. ”
"The young master said with a smile, the servant has been serving you for so long, if you marry me. I won't be able to live. Ziyue replied shyly. The beautiful eyes were tactful, and she said nervously: "By the way, young master, the four virtues...... Side came back yesterday, and he didn't dare to come to see you himself. Ask me to intercede with you..."
Last time, Side was left in Northern Qi to take care of the people in that small village. Zhao Xian directly led his troops to Xihe to die. After that, he fled to the riverside, and all the dead and wounded who died hand in hand became prisoners of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The only one who is safe and sound, I'm afraid there are only four virtues. But as Zhao Xian's personal bodyguard, when he heard the news of Zhao Xian's death, he dared to go back to Daliang to return to Old Man An, and he had no way out to go with guilt, so he had to hide outside for a few months, only Zhao Xian miraculously returned, and then returned to Daliang with a sigh of relief and caught up.
When Zhao Xian heard this, he couldn't help but smile: "This kid, he doesn't have any big faults, and I won't blame him." If I had died, wouldn't he have to hide outside for the rest of his life? ”
"He didn't protect the young master, he should have been punished." Ziyue snorted indignantly: "The young master went out to fight and fell into a scar, he is fine, he can't help but be safe and sound, and he has gained a lot of weight, and now it is estimated that he can't even enter the door of Anfu, and the eldest lady is really reprimanding him." ”
After doing it for a long time, this guy Side asked me to intercede with Birou. Zhao Xian suddenly realized that he didn't have a young master's frame, and Miss An was different. She grew up in a warlord family like Guogong Mansion, and she has very strict requirements for the loyalty and reliability of her subordinates.
"Go and talk to the eldest lady, the fault is not the four virtues, just come back alive, let her stop worrying." Zhao Xian waved his hand lightly, and Ziyue hurriedly got up and ran out.
Drinking alone at a lonely table is lonely after all.
Fortunately, within a moment, Miss An entered the house with a cold face. She was dressed in a pale green spring shirt, with a few steps swaying and slanting between her buns, and her graceful temperament exuded as she walked to a rhythmic tremble.
Before he got close, he felt a dark fragrance, and Zhao Xian looked slightly happy: "Birou, why are you here?" ”
An Birou walked to the table, patted the table lightly, and snorted: "You also intercede for Side, the old lady handed over all your comfort to him, but you almost died on the battlefield but he was unharmed, if you don't punish well, those guards will not leave you and escape in this situation." ”
Miss An is not good at language, but her concern is self-evident. Zhao Xian grinned and stepped forward to take her little hand: "Don't be angry, I promise that there will never be a situation like last time in the future." Daliang and Northern Qi are one, and there will be no need to fight in the future, let's live our own little life, and go to hell if we fight and send death or something! ”
The little hand fell into his fiery palm, An Birou's face suddenly turned a little red, and all the words of reprimand in her heart were also dispelled by his gentle movements.
Her hand shrunk, but she didn't pull it back, and the wicked man still held it in her hand, and she said lukewarmly: "You, you! Like Yijun, you are impulsive and unsteady, who knows if you will be in danger in the future. In a few days, you will have to leave for Northern Qi, where it is not comparable to the Great Liang, and without the support of the An family, if you are not careful, you will fall into a situation from which you will never recover......"
"Of course I know." Zhao Xian sighed softly: "Don't go when the time comes, follow Sister Xiao and Ye Sha to Jiangnan, and after everything is done, I will go to you." ”
"It's... Not so good. The eldest lady's eyes suddenly showed reluctance: "I haven't seen you for a few months, I miss my mother and Yijun so much, and I can't figure it out now, why they suddenly went to Northern Qi and didn't take me with them, I can follow you to see, I naturally want to go." ”
Huayu They were not rescued, Zhao Xian dared to take someone to Northern Qi, he shook his head and sighed silently, wanting to explain, but he couldn't find an excuse.
Seeing him like this, the eldest lady suddenly became suspicious in her heart, stared at Zhao Xian and said, "Zhao Xian, what's wrong with you?" Is there something you're hiding from me? ”
I saw her with anxious eyes. After all, Zhao Xian couldn't bear to find those lame excuses to deceive, so he could only say gloomily: "They were detained in Northern Qi by the secret guards of Northern Qi, and along with them, there are also flower language them, and I am not completely sure of their comfort, how dare I bring you to Northern Qi again." ”
"What?!" Miss An was shocked, and immediately became furious: "Northern Qi actually used them to coerce you? No wonder you smoothly destroyed the Great Liang and didn't dare to establish yourself as the emperor, I thought you were really so stupid, it turned out that you were worried about their safety, so you had to do it. ”
"What is self-proclaimed emperor, I have never considered it." Zhao Xian smiled bitterly: "Glory and wealth are not brought to life, and death is not brought away." It's all a passing cloud. Only human feelings are real. There are some things I don't want to do, but I have to do it, if it weren't for the Northern Qi secret guard, I would rather stay in Changzhou quietly and live a small life. But that's it. I can't meet you, Miss. ”
"Poor mouth!" An Birou's palms itched. Scratched a few times by his fingers. Hurriedly shrank back. She hesitated for a moment before frowning and said, "Since Beiqi coerced you to open the door of the Great Liang with the comfort of Yijun and them, he must not trust you in his heart. In this way, what is the difference between you going to Chang'an to face the saint alone and going to the Hongmen banquet. No, you must not go to Northern Qi. She was worried that Zhao Xian had fallen into the trap, and a few tears appeared in her anxious eyes.
"I don't want to, but I can't help it." Zhao Xian spread out his hands, his eyes were full of helplessness, he gently hugged the eldest lady, buried it in her smooth hair and comforted: "Okay, you don't have to worry about these men's affairs, don't you know my skills?" Hey! Why do you have two big steamed buns in your chest? Is it specially prepared for me to bring food, come and let me touch ......" In order to divert the topic, Zhao Xian took the opportunity to put his hand on her crisp chest and gently pinched it.
"Yikes!" Miss An shook like an electric shock, hurriedly grabbed the big hand on her chest, and said with a flushed face: "Bastard!" It's not honest at this time, what should I do if I let people see it in broad daylight? ”
The beauty was angry, and her color was even more three, Zhao Xian looked at her puffed up face, couldn't help but lose her mind, and said with a smile: "Okay, good!" Not during the day, we're chatting at night! As he spoke, the thief's hand moved a few more times, feeling the softness in his hand, and wondered: "Something is wrong, why is it big and small on the other side, I am half a doctor, I must take a good look at you..." ”
"Whoa! You're big and small. The eldest lady was so angry and ashamed that she couldn't stay any longer, and ran away like a rabbit.
This girl, the chest has yet to be developed, when will it be as magnificent as Yijun's good lady, and it will seem balanced. Zhao Xian rubbed his fingers unfinished, and when he saw that Yiren was gradually moving away, he turned around stupidly, but the scene in front of him made him stunned......
The sound of the rain is still there, and the breeze does not stop.
The delicate rain struck the cornices and windows, and the dense light sound echoed in the silent room, like the beat of a drum, causing ripples in people's hearts.
The eyes stared inadvertently, and there was silence. The rain stopped and the wind stopped, and there was no other sound in the world except for each other's heartbeats.
Ye Sha lay on the bed, looking at the eyes with guilt in surprise, the hatred was undiminished, but the bitterness was deeper.
She still hates me? Perhaps, if she destroyed her family with her own hands, what qualifications do you have to ask for her forgiveness. Relatively speechless, Zhao Xian gradually gloomed, and did not hide the apology in his eyes at all. If you want to hate, just hate it! As long as you can feel better.
Time became sticky, and it passed very slowly, slowly. The two looked at each other, and I don't know how long it took.
Ye Sha's thin lips snorted softly, and her hoarse throat brewed for a long time before she made a few slight sounds: "Your wife was detained in Northern Qi?" Are you forced to do so? ”
Zhao Xian opened his mouth, looking at the faint expectation in her eyes, and couldn't say a word for a while. Since the day I left Jiangnan and promised Yijun to inherit the An family, I have not been able to get out. I didn't want to destroy the beams, but how could I stop the actions that the guards had been planning for decades?
Since it cannot be changed, it is necessary to take the initiative into your own hands. It is his own idea to risk his life and use the blood edict of the First Emperor to oppose the An family, if he does not do this, he will follow the command of the Northern Qi secret guard step by step, and sooner or later he will become a victim of being abandoned. It's a pity that the insidiousness of Northern Qi is far more insidious than he imagined, and he was in an unexpected coma for a few months, which made his wife and children detained, and he completely missed the opportunity to retire.
If you say it's a last resort, maybe it's okay. Zhao Xian sighed secretly, for the sake of Yijun, for Sister Liu, and for the sake of Sister Su, who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, I have to do this. But how can these words be said in front of Yesha?
He was silent for a long time before he slowly walked to the bed and sat down, nodded and said: "I can't help it, now this day will come sooner or later, because of my identity, I have become the executioner who raised the butcher's knife......"
Ye Sha shook her head slowly: "You were forced to do this, right?" Actually, you don't want to be an emperor at all, do you? Her beautiful eyes were hazy with tears, and her gently trembling eyelashes couldn't hide the vibration in her heart. The deeper the hatred, the deeper the love, she hates the enemy of the ancestral foundation in front of her, but how can the deep expectation of the bone marrow be hidden?
Looking at her sparkling eyes, Zhao Xian's heart cramped, clenched his hands tightly, and trembled slightly.
Staring at her eyes, Zhao Xian couldn't bear it anymore, stepped forward and gently hugged her, and said angrily: "I'm just a pawn in Northern Qi!" It's hard to hold your own wife and children, so you are qualified to be the emperor, if you want to hate, hate me! But I hope you can forgive me when you're done hating! His eyes were moist, and he lied half-truthfully, putting the blame on Northern Qi. If I can make her feel better, let me do it, this bastard!
The body trembled slightly, Ye Sha froze, for a while, she couldn't control it anymore, and cried out with a 'wow', the liver and intestines of the crying person were broken, and I don't know how many grievances and pain were mixed in, and the back of the straight teacher was slightly cold.
Tears came out of her eyes, wetting Zhao Xian's clothes, she raised her weak hand and patted Zhao Xian's back, choked up and couldn't speak, crying heartbreaking. The person she likes didn't accept her, and single-handedly destroyed her only home, and even wanted to execute her own brother and set herself up as emperor.
Even if she is a princess, she is just an ordinary woman with personal feelings, and a series of blows have made her lose the motivation to live physically and mentally, but who can she complain about the grievances hidden in it? The trace of expectation hidden in his eyes is not the current voice of 'forced to do'!
Ye Sha's tears rained down, and she didn't stop for a long time, and her crying pushed away the big stone that Zhao Xian had been hanging in her heart for many days. "Cry! Cry! Zhao Xian shrugged his nose, gently stroked her back, let her beat it painlessly, her throat itched, and a thousand words turned into tenderness, quietly hugging her, without a trace of words...
