Chapter 403: Let Me Go When That Day Comes
After Zhao Ling walked out of Tai'an Palace, he didn't see Chu Xingyue's figure, and looked back and forth, but he didn't find that except for the palace attendants and the Imperial Forest Army around, he really didn't see her at all.
This girl, who just told him to wait for him outside, why did she disappear in the blink of an eye?
It can be seen that he is still a child, and after waiting for such a short time, he can't bear it, so he must have led Chunxing around to play.
Zhao Ling's cold eyebrows and eyes gradually softened a lot because he thought of Chu Xingyue, and at this moment, a palace man walked towards the hall with two red bottles in his hand and bowed his body.
Zhao Ling is the most familiar with this bottle, but naturally recognized at a glance that this is the bottle that Chu Xingyue used to hold cherry jam, now that the bottle is here, where did the person go?
Zhao Ling hurriedly stopped the palace people and asked, "Why is this bottle here with you?" What about the crown princess? ”
The palace attendant saluted and replied, "This bottle was handed over to the slave by the mother herself, and the servant sent it to the emperor to taste, saying that it was sweet and sour, and it was very delicious; As for where the princess and mother went, the servants do not know; The slave only knew that after Niangniang explained this sentence, she left Tai'an Palace with her personal girl. ”
With Zhao Ling's understanding of Chu Xingyue, since she brought a gift to her father, she would never give it to her father by the palace people, she would definitely take this bottle and send it to her father in person, and with her strength, she might find a way to pester her father and let her father eat two bites in front of her before she would give up.
It's just that right now, I only see the bottle, but the person is gone, which is really weird.
Zhao Ling immediately sensed that something was not right, and hurriedly asked, "Where did the crown princess give you this thing just now?" ”
"Niangniang is given to the slave at the inner hall gate of Tai'an Palace, His Royal Highness the Prince, but what's the matter?"
At this time, Zhao Ling completely understood, Yue'er must have heard the conversation between him and his father, and misunderstood something, so he left these two bottles of jam, but the person left first.
Zhao Ling didn't have time to take care of this palace attendant, he was in a hurry, and he rushed out of the palace with his legs.
But after running a few steps, he suddenly stopped, thought seriously for a moment, and immediately turned around again and ran towards the vicinity of the harem imperial garden.
Chu Xingyue stood on the edge of the Taiye Pool, watching the lotus leaves in the pool colliding with each other, and the expression on her face was always faint.
Chun Xing looked at the silent young lady, her heart had been pinching all the time, she glanced at the sky, and felt that the time was not early, so she opened her mouth and urged two sentences, "Miss, at this time, His Royal Highness must have finished talking to the emperor, should we go back?" ”
Chu Xingyue withdrew her stunned eyes, raised her head and let out a long breath, and said, "Remember the words I gave you, don't be noticed." ”
Chunxing knew what Miss meant, and immediately nodded in agreement.
Here, Chun Xing helped Chu Xingyue and was just about to leave the Taiye Pool and walk in the direction of Tai'an Palace, when Zhao Ling's hurried figure over there had already been found.
Seeing Chu Xingyue standing in the line of sight with Chun Xing in her arms, Zhao Ling's heart that had been hanging high finally fell, stepped forward quickly, came to her, grabbed her shoulders as soon as he could, and his tone was a little anxious, "What are you doing here?" I looked for you everywhere, and I thought you ......"
Speaking of this, Zhao Ling suddenly stopped, staring at Chu Xingyue with uneasy eyes, as if to determine whether she was angry at the moment through her facial expressions.
However, although Chu Xingyue does not have much depth, her acting skills are first-class; She didn't want Zhao Ling to see her inner thoughts, so naturally there would be many ways to do it.
I saw that she still had a gentle and soft smile between her eyebrows, took out a clean handkerchief from her sleeve, and stood on tiptoe to wipe the sweat on her forehead for him, "What are you doing in such a hurry?" What, scared I'm running away? What a fool, the palace here, I am your wife, where else can I go but by your side? Look at you, like a child, running sweating profusely, where is there still a bit of calm and calm bearing in the past. ”
Listening to Chu Xingyue's jokes, Zhao Ling was a little suspicious, he had asked the palace attendant in person just now, and he could be sure that she should have heard the conversation between herself and her father, but with Yue'er's ordinary character, she should have been angry a long time ago when she heard such words; But she was very calm now, and this calm made him very uneasy.
Zhao Ling ignored the hot sweat on his head, and didn't care about the princely demeanor, he hugged Chu Xingyue nervously into his arms, since she didn't take the initiative to mention it, okay, then he took the initiative to ask.
"Yue'er, did you hear that? Don't hide it from me, I'm upset to see you like this. ”
Seeing this scene, the palace attendant and Chunxing, who were waiting on the side, quietly retreated, leaving space for the two of them.
And Chu Xingyue was also quite stunned in surprise, he really didn't expect that he actually knew that he had heard it; But at that time, she clearly saw that he was talking to his father very intently, so how did he know?
However, these questions are not important now, the important thing is that he seems to want to take the initiative to talk to her about it.
Chu Xingyue let Zhao Ling hold her, her eyes lowered, and her voice was faint, "Since you asked me like this, I won't hide it from you; Yes, I hear you. ”
Zhao Ling's heart began to tremble when he was frightened by these words, it was not that he was a timid person, but that he knew her character too well, she looked soft and weak, but once she became stubborn, even he had to bow down; The worst thing is that she left him once, and the feeling as if she was about to empty his heart made him feel palpitations when he remembered it to this day.
Father was right, he was already trapped, and if one day she disappeared from his life again, he didn't dare to guarantee that he wouldn't go crazy.
Therefore, when he heard her clear and cold tone, Zhao Ling's face began to turn red, and he grabbed Chu Xingyue's hand tightly, with sincerity in his eyes, "Yue'er, don't misunderstand; My father's words don't affect me anything, I have told you personally, I will treat you well, and I will definitely fulfill these promises. ”
The eagerness on Zhao Ling's face Chu Xingyue was visible, in the face of him like this, how could she deliberately hurt him.
During this time, after the two of them got along, she knew better than anyone her place in his heart, this man, who looked cold, but in fact hid his sincere and simple heart deep in the armor, when he accepted you, the most sincere and strong love from him will surround you.
Such Zhao Ling is like a pebble that exudes a soft light in the sun, smooth and bright, colorful and colorful, just looking at him is secretly attracted to him; has already seen the best of him, how can she be willing to let go?
"Zhao Ling, I won't hide it from you, when I suddenly heard my father say to you that you should take a concubine, I was angry; I don't quite understand why it is so difficult to live a good life with you, and I don't understand why our lives have to change after our identity changes; Standing here, I thought about it a lot, and I thought about it for a long time, and finally, I finally vaguely figured it out. Zhao Ling, no matter what others say or do; I can't change my determination to care about you, I like you, I love you, I want to be with you forever, I want to occupy you forever, and I don't let anyone snatch you away from me; Even if it leads to unprecedented attacks, I'm going to keep doing it. I can promise you, as long as you don't let go, I will firmly grasp you, whether you are the King Ling who endures humiliation and burden, whether it is the crown prince who is not what it used to be, or the supreme who will dominate the world in the future, I am willing to accompany you. ”
"However, please also promise me one thing, if one day, you can't bear it, or you change your mind, please tell me, in fact, I am very good, as long as I leave the letter, I can leave your world, and I will never pester you."
Zhao Ling listened to these heart-pounding words, he felt that he was still immersed in the happy confession she gave one second and couldn't extricate himself, and the next second her words could lift his whole heart high, and the whole person was like falling into the abyss, and the fear of chill oozed from his bones.
"It's all said that you don't want to be cranky, why did you talk about the resignation?"
Chu Xingyue chuckled and shook her head at Zhao Ling, and said: "In my hometown, there is a survival rule that is very different from here, in our place, the relationship between husband and wife is monogamous, and it is normal for two people to grow old together, of course, if one of them changes his mind, he can file for divorce, he can separate, he can go his own way from now on, and he can remarry and remarry without involvement; I came from that world, and these ideas were instilled in my mind since I was a child, and I couldn't change them, let alone accept my husband laughing and playing with other women in front of me. ”
"But Zhao Ling, in your world, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, here, if a man only guards a woman's duty to live, he will be ridiculed; I used to be so selfish, always unreasonably demanding that you have to do this, you have to do that, and never really put yourself in your shoes and consider your problems. Today's words from my father can be regarded as an empowerment for me. ”
"Zhao Ling, you know that I am a stingy woman, and there is no room for sand in my eyes; You see, now that our identities have changed, even our lives have changed, I can't guarantee that one day our hearts will not change together; If one day you don't love me anymore, please let me go, so that we will still leave a little good feeling for each other, and we can still retain the last trace of dignity for each other. ”
Looking at Zhao Ling's eyes that seemed to be covered with sadness and helplessness, Chu Xingyue stretched out her hand and touched his eyelids, and her fingers accidentally touched his long eyelashes, making him subconsciously blink his eyes a few times, but this blinking action almost forced the crystal from the corner of his eye out.
"Zhao Ling, don't look at me with such eyes, I know my words are cruel, but there will be all kinds of accidents around us every day, and when we are not strong enough to eliminate all those accidents, we must be prepared for all kinds of accidents."
