Chapter 156: Old Friend

He was burdened with the heavy responsibility of guarding the rivers and mountains of Western Chu, and the throne was like a shackle that bound his freedom but was difficult to give up, imprisoning him within the radius.

In the court, even if he can get away with it, the rivers and mountains of Western Chu will suffer heavy losses, as the king of a country, he needs to rely on the ministers of the court, and he needs to extend the imperial heir, so he can't vacate the harem for her.

If he unfortunately fails, he will have nothing, including his net worth and life, and even he can't save her, but Bei Mingchen is different, even if he is defeated in the end, he will have the opportunity to take her away......

Although she rested early in the morning, I don't know how long it tossed and turned, He Muwan gradually fell asleep, and in the dead of night, her door was gently pushed open.

Carefully close the door, Bei Mingchen walked lightly to He Muwan's bed and sat down, the moonlight hit her quiet side face, adding a bit of softness, standing in front of the bed, he couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

She is asleep, without the jump of Su Ri, quiet and beautiful, if at this time, she suddenly opens her eyes, she will definitely scream, and then she will scold him as an uninvited guest.

After thinking about it, Bei Mingchen smiled helplessly and shook his head, it was really unfortunate, he was laughing, and the person on the bed suddenly moved, so frightened that his smile immediately froze on his face.

Even holding his breath, Bei Mingchen didn't dare to move and observed the person on the bed, until her well-proportioned breathing sounded again, and his hanging heart finally let go.

Xu was a little hot, and He Muwan stretched out his arm from the quilt restlessly.

How old is it, she even kicked the quilt when she was sleeping, muttering silently in her heart, Bei Mingchen gently reached out and wanted to cover the quilt again for her.

Just as he took He Muwan's arm and was about to put it back in the quilt, a black shadow in her palm suddenly met Bei Mingchen's eyes.

Looking closely through the moonlight, he found that the woman's palm was a blood stain that had coagulated, and her hand was also injured.

After thinking about it, Bei Mingchen immediately understood that it must have been too painful for her to be whipped today, and when she clenched her fists, her nails were embedded in the flesh, which caused her to hurt herself.

I couldn't help but feel a pain in my heart, the man's eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, and he gently put He Muwan's arm down, he took out a medicine bottle from his arms, uncorked it, and carefully poured the medicine into the wound in the woman's palm.

"Hmm!" It may be that the medicine powder hurt a little when it was sprinkled, and the person on the bed made a restless sound, but fortunately, she didn't wake up, moved, and quieted down again.

After receiving the medicine bottle, Bei Mingchen took out a silk handkerchief and bandaged the wounds on He Muwan's hands, and then he pulled the quilt and helped her cover it again.

After sitting with the woman for a while, seeing that she didn't lift the quilt again, Bei Mingchen pursed his lips, and finally turned around and left.

After finding a pot of wine, he sat alone on the roof not far from Xueyue Residence, drinking alone in front of the moon.

I don't know how desperate she felt when she faced the whipping alone in Yonghe Palace, thinking about her injuries, Bei Mingchen always couldn't let go.

Although Qiao Youyan was jealous of He Muwan because of Bei Mingyan, Li's embarrassment, in addition to Bei Mingyan, also had his own reasons, no matter what, he couldn't escape the blame for her injury.

After all, he failed to protect her, Bei Mingchen blamed himself very much in his heart, thinking of the injury on her hand, he really regretted it now, and gave the fine work a pleasure with a sword.

Carrying the flask, he raised his head, he poured the cold wine into his stomach in a big gulp, if the wine really has the magical effect mentioned in the book, it can make people get drunk and relieve a thousand sorrows, how good it would be.

But after waking up and dreaming, except for headaches and still unsolved problems, there will be no change at all, which many people have already seen through, but when it comes to the end, people still like to numb themselves with alcohol.

It's just that he didn't want to face the reality, and cowardly chose to escape, and with a cold smile in his heart, Bei Mingchen shook it hard and slammed the wine jug on the ground.

The sound of porcelain pieces breaking echoed in the silent night sky, and the wine splashed and made a splash. Grabbing another jug of wine that had been placed next to him in the morning, the man waved his hand again and threw it down.

But this time, the wine jug did not fall to the ground as scheduled, only to see a red shadow flashing, reaching out to catch the wine jug, tiptoe on the ground, turning over, the person jumped on the roof.

"Why are you so grumpy, you have to lose your temper so much even when you drink!" Yuluo teased while sitting down next to the man.

"Why are you here?" Turning his head to look at the people around him, Bei Mingchen said in surprise.

In the past, two people were confidants who talked about everything, and when they were unhappy, they always accompanied each other.

But since He Muwan appeared in the world of Bei Mingchen, the relationship between the two has undergone subtle changes, especially after Yuluo married Bei Mingyi, the two of them have become more and more estranged.

Although a long time has passed, Yuluo still has a loss in his heart, saying that time can dilute everything, and it is just a kind of self-anesthesia for people.

Injuries that can be diluted are not real injuries, and the only role of time is to make people take pain as a habit.

Raising the wine jug she had just picked up from the man, Yuluo raised her head and drank a few sips, put down the jug, and sighed to herself: "The two of us haven't sat together for a long time, and we have a heart-to-heart conversation about drinking!" ”

"If you have something on your mind, why don't you tell me, an old friend!" Turning his head to look at the man, Yuluo smiled brightly.

It took a lot of effort for her to say the word "old friend" so naturally.

Because she knows that now, only by putting away her feelings for a man and being a friend can she have the opportunity to have a good word with him.

Her "friend" really relaxed the man's tense nerves.

"Spending all day drinking, this king is very happy, what can he worry about, it's just a mediocre person who disturbs himself!" With a slight smile, Bei Mingchen said vaguely.

As he spoke, his eyes were unconsciously darkened, but he quickly hid them, and he didn't want to talk about himself anymore, so he simply changed the conversation and asked, "What about you, how are you doing?" ”

"There's nothing wrong with it other than being bland!"

"It doesn't have to be vigorous to call life, it's bland, it's actually good!" Bei Mingchen sighed softly.

"Maybe, I never knew why Bei Mingyi insisted on marrying me, until one day, he told me that what he can't get is the best, and I am like that for him!"
