Chapter 18: Catharsis

Mu Siyan was stunned, stopped on the steps, hesitated for a moment, pushed the door in, she took off her outer robe, removed the crown of her head, and walked in the darkness with her hair scattered.

The wooden door closed, she turned around and asked sharply, "Why, why didn't you help the king of Anding, instead?" He's your own brother? ”

"Do you want this king to watch Jing Yu rush against his father?" Chen Jingsui lit the lamp and candle and retorted: "Li Qingru has been devoted to his tenth brother for a long time, and this king is just the beauty of an adult. ”

The room suddenly lit up, Mu Siyan looked at the cold face, and sneered: "The beauty of adults? Have you ever asked the king of Anding what he thinks? She looked at Chen Jingsui, "The prince is smart and wise, you can find a reason to help the king of Anding County prevaricate at will, why, why do you and Concubine Chen force him like that?" ”

Seeing that Chen Jingsui didn't squeak, she pressed step by step, and asked: "Hmph, if it weren't for General Fuwei holding 20,000 forbidden troops, would the prince be so impatient and struggling?" ”

"Shut up."

She saw Chen Jingsui clenching his hands into fists, his face showing anger, and she understood that what she said had hit him in the sore spot, and suddenly sneered and complained: "Do you know? When I saw the king of Anding kowtow and thank you, how tormented my heart was? Mu Siyan put her hands on both sides, and said without confidence: "At the beginning, it was also an edict from your father, and my father knelt down and begged me to think about the lives of more than 100 people in the Mu Mansion, so I married here!" ”

Chen Jingsui glared, burning with anger, he suppressed his temper and asked calmly, "Do you regret it?" ”

"Yes, I regret it." Raising her eyes to look at Chen Jingsui, tears blurred her vision, the picture of riding a horse that day lingered in her mind, the words were still in her ears, she choked up: "Chen Jingsui, I can't see it, I can't guess your mind, do you know that I'm afraid, afraid that one day in the future, I will become your victim." ”

The heart-rending noise made the fear hidden in the bottom of her heart emerge like a volcanic eruption, Mu Siyan's whole body trembled, and her legs were weak.

When Mu Siyan was about to collapse, Chen Jingsui rushed forward with an arrow and took her into his arms, for a while, he lost his center of gravity, and the two of them lay on the ground at the same time, looking at each other, and heard: "Yan'er, don't be afraid, this king will never let you be hurt in any way!" ”

Mu Siyan was silent, and said in her heart: The imperial power is supreme, the future is boundless, and the road to progress is difficult, do you know? Brother Huangtai and King Yan, can you really fight them? Thinking of this, she reached out and stroked his cheek and asked herself, "Jing Sui, should I believe you?" ”

"Lord, miss, the palace sent someone to send fireworks."

"Well, you ordered someone to put fireworks in the garden, and this king wants to watch them with the princess."

Mu Siyan's thoughts were pulled back, and the two stood up hand in hand, only to hear Chen Jingsui say softly: "Yan'er, I know that you have doubts and grievances in your heart. Seeing him brushing his sideburns, he smiled helplessly: "Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, this king implores you to put those down for the time being, is it okay?" ”

Looking at those eyes full of sincerity, Mu Siyan couldn't bear to refuse, hesitated for a moment, and nodded silently.

After redressing, she walked to the door, Chen Jingsui stood under the corridor, saw him smile at herself, and when he was about to cross the threshold, he stretched out his hand, slightly stunned, and passively led.

"Chen Jian, let's go."

The two stood side by side hand in hand, and the originally dim Yiqing Garden was illuminated by brilliant fireworks. Mu Siyan looked at the fireworks blooming in mid-air, her expression was sluggish, and from time to time there was the joyful frolic sound of He'er and others in her ears, she had no intention of watching, bowed her head, and was worried.

Suddenly, Chen Jingsui took himself into his arms, he didn't say a word, just quietly accompanied and hugged each other tightly. The defense line in Mu Siyan's heart seemed to have been overcome again, and she leaned over and leaned towards him.
