686. 685 doesn't seem to hurt
He lowered his hands, glanced very perfunctorily at the empty brocade box, and then picked up the book again, still speechless, as if she were an insignificant person, saying something inconsequential.
Annoyed, she took his book again, this time far away, and with a snap, the book hit the bookshelf and fell to the ground:
"Tuoba Jiuxiao, I'm talking to you!"
He was finally willing to look at her seriously, and suddenly, he grabbed her wrist with one hand, swept the brocade box away with the other, and pulled her towards him with a sharp force, and she also fell on his chest impartially.
She exclaimed in a low voice, his hard chest hit her in pain, and she was about to struggle, but his arms imprisoned her body, and a cold voice came to her face:
"There is no one else in this world who dares to treat me like this except you."
Lin Ling'er was startled, and looked at his eyes fixedly, which was clearly scorching, but why did he speak in a tone that seemed to have changed from a different person?
She struggled, but he tightened his grip.
"Is this the first time? You've known me for five or six years, and I've always been. ”
She stubbornly confronted him, in front of him, she never knew how to be soft, she said that women are made of water, and gentle women and men will like them, but she is not gentle, nor will she coax men to be happy, and sometimes she even doubts what Tuoba Jiuxiao likes about her.
Just now with those old stubborn agreements are still in the heart, as if pressed a stone as sullen and uncomfortable, he changed his face like this, she unconsciously remembered the future, two years later, if she can't give birth to a son, she will have to help him choose a concubine with her own hands, at that time, she will definitely pick a gentle like water, but to see if he will fall in love with such a woman.
Thinking about it, she turned red with grievances, unwilling to show her vulnerable side in front of others, she struggled harder and harder, and didn't turn her face away from him.
"Let go, let go of me!"
"Yes, you have always been like this, no matter what status I am, whether it is the king of Hades or the lord of the country, you have never collected such a stinky temper."
There seemed to be dissatisfaction in his words, unlike he used to be.
In the past, no matter what she said or did, he would not be so yin and yang, at this time, this words sounded like blame, and like a statement of fact, it sounded like he was very dissatisfied with her, but the tone was very flat, and she couldn't hear the emotion, she didn't understand, what happened to him today.
"What the hell are you trying to say?"
She asked angrily.
The edge of his lips curled slightly, as if there was nothing:
"Guess if I'm mad that you've always done this to me?"
Angry?
She was shocked by those two words.
From their reunion to the present, he has protected her everywhere, indulged her from time to time, never put a little pressure on her, never let her suffer a trace of grievance, and even if he did, he was deliberately acting for Wu Qingqing's sake, and even when she slapped him in the face, he was not really angry.
Could it be that he was tired of her like this?
This realization made her heart chuckle, and it seemed as if it had been hollowed out in an instant.
The two-year covenant became more impossible to ignore in her mind, and the scene two years later became more visible, as if she saw him tired of her, embracing other women, walking in the imperial garden, blatantly passing in front of her, he would not even leave her a look, the burning gaze of the past would never be left alone with her, he would have countless women, lingering in different dormitories every night, different gentle villages......
Suddenly felt that his efforts just now were all in vain, what a two-year covenant, what to give him a son so that there would be a successor to the royal family, maybe she was singing a one-man show at all, if he knew, maybe he would be happy, because he could finally get rid of her, or she personally gave him away, will she achieve a good story of a virtuous queen in the future?
She suddenly raised her eyes and looked at him without showing weakness:
"Of course you can be angry! You are the lord of the country, you have the power of life and death in your hands, you can do whatever you want, who dares not to make you angry? ”
His eyes sank:
"Well, that's right."
She was startled, and he continued,
"Of course I'm angry with a woman who loses her temper and doesn't even pay attention to the lord of the country, maybe ...... And get tired. ”
He deliberately lengthened his voice, killing her willpower, and when she heard the word "tired", a crack finally appeared in her heart, just like when he held Wu Qingqing's dagger that night, the skin of his palm opened in an instant, and she was suffocated in pain.
"Tired?"
Her voice was sobbing and she looked at him in disbelief.
Originally, the two-year covenant was a pit she was willing to dig for herself, just to share his worries, she didn't feel wronged at all, she thought that they were always one, and they had to be unanimous to the outside world, but when she heard him say these two words, she was so aggrieved that she wanted to cry.
If he's tired of it now, what's the point of her two-year covenant?
She suddenly tried to break free from his arms with all her strength, but he didn't give her this chance, her arms were as unbreakable as iron, and she blushed from struggle, but she was still imprisoned by him.
In the end, she had to give up the struggle, gritted her teeth and said:
"If you're tired of it, why don't you let it go? You don't have to tell me in such a weird way, although I am simple, I am not stupid, so that I can't even understand such words. If you are tired of it, you can say it clearly, as soon as possible, I will not occupy the position of queen, I will abdicate and give way to Xian...... No, just come to a draft now, I will help you pick a gentle woman, so that you are afraid of melting in your mouth every day, and you are afraid of being scared in your hand, one is not enough for two, and two is not enough for three, anyway, you are the lord of the country, you can have as much as you want, just right, everyone is happy to see it, and I will help you do all this before leaving, and break your thoughts! ”
He wrapped one hand around her body, and with the other he was free to clamp her chin, and forcefully lifted her to look at him:
"Really?"
He examined her inquiringly, his gaze like a torch, as if he wanted to pierce her disguise and hit her heart.
She glared at him fiercely, let him watch, and behaved more and more toughly:
"Of course, I won't be with a man who is tired of me, no, never!"
As if she was afraid that he would not believe it, she closed her eyes and roared, saying important things three times, and she showed her determination with three "no".
His brows furrowed, and his inquiring gaze finally turned into distress:
"If you don't have faith in me, why do you have to make a two-year contract?"
She had just erected the thorns all over her body, and she wanted to stab him completely, and when she heard him say this, the thorns fell on their own.
"Y-What did you say?"
The fiery gaze softened, and turned into two pools of soft water,
"Did you hear it all?"
He heard it all, so just now he wasn't angry, he wasn't tired, but he was testing her?
He wiped away the tears that were dripping from the corners of her eyes, and his deep voice was hoarse:
"Afraid that I can't bear the doubts of those courtiers? Are you afraid that I won't be able to protect you? Or are you afraid that I won't be able to keep my promise and not be able to love you only one for the rest of my life? ”
His gentle questioning made her unable to hold back the feeling of heartache any longer, and in her wide-eyed eyes, tears fell like jumping beans, and the grievances that had just swirled in her abdomen rushed out, and she cried like a child and said:
"I just don't want you to be so uncomfortable, I just want to help you......"
As soon as she cried, all the disguises he had just made were crumbling, and watching her burst into tears, he felt so distressed that he couldn't do more.
He kept helping her wipe it, and when she dropped one, he wiped a string, but he couldn't finish wiping it.
In the end, he could only take her into his arms and let her tears rub onto his dragon robe.
His big hands clasped her back tightly, and his voice became more and more hoarse:
"I won't let you help me choose a concubine, no one can, just like I can't send you to other men with my own hands, including Nangong Jue. It doesn't matter if it's two years or three years, I don't count the contracts you make with them. ”
She suddenly realized, didn't he let her go to see Nangong Jue, just for this reason?
Because Nangong Jue used to like her, so he minded a lot?
That's right, he hasn't been a generous man in this regard.
But now was not the time to think about it, she raised her head and wiped her eyes, and asked:
"Don't count? What do you mean? ”
He cupped her face and looked at her affectionately:
"Whether you give birth to a son or not, you are my only one."
This sentence made the tears she had just stopped flowing again, and she pursed her mouth, as if she was wronged, but in fact, she was so moved.
And he wept like this, and heard him say again:
"All I want is you."
She was about to cry louder, but he curled the corners of his lips and kissed her tenderly.
He didn't deepen the kiss, it was just a comfort, and when he let go of her lips, she burst into tears again, her shoulders shaking as she sobbed, and even the hands that were holding him trembled.
He looked at her helplessly:
"They say that women are made of water, and that's true."
She was stunned, in his heart, is this how the phrase "women are made of water" is understood?
She thought it was funny, and suddenly burst out laughing:
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Seeing her smile, the curvature of his lips widened a little.
She thought about it, and said with some concern:
"You say you don't count, but I've already made an agreement with those ministers, how can I not talk without words?"
He said:
"Jun is not joking, are you Jun?"
She shook her head, there is only one monarch in this Tiansheng, and that is him, except for him, no one is qualified to use this sentence.
"......"
She was still worried, but he interrupted her.
"Of course, if you want to play with them, I won't intervene, after all, it doesn't seem to hurt me at all."
She was a little confused, and raised her head to look at him innocently, only to see the flames dancing in his eyes, so hot and sultry.
