Chapter 69: Controversy
Emperor Yuan directly ordered Zhuo Yao to move Yu Zhao's things back to the main hall of Chaohui Palace. This move made Chu Zikai ecstatic, thinking that his affection for Yu Zhao was completely recognized and accepted by Emperor Yuan. But every day Yu Zhao has to seal the door of the study tightly, and he is a little flustered when he sees Chu Zikai's expression on weekdays, and he will definitely not stay with him for a second longer if he can hide. Chu Zikai only thought that this was the daughter of the boudoir, and he was shy, and he was empathetic, giving her time to slow down.
But the suffering of lovesickness is enduring, and the roof is handy when it is turned over once. Early one morning, Chu Zikai jumped into the back garden, shook Yu Zhao, who was looking at the spring flowers in a daze, and turned around and left in the next second.
It's easy to see, Chu Zikai naturally didn't give her a chance to escape, and caught up and stopped after a few steps. "Now that my father has agreed, why are you still messing with me?"
Yu Zhaodao: "I have already explained to His Highness that I don't want to, and it doesn't matter whether Your Majesty approves it or not." The voice was as indifferent as ever, and Chu Zikai wrinkled incomprehensibly, and asked tentatively: "What did my father tell you that day?" ”
Yu Zhao was stunned, kept silent, and under Chu Zikai's repeated questioning, he finally spoke, and replied in a daze: "Your Majesty asked me to be good with you." ”
Hearing this, Chu Zikai breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her gently: "Then what are you afraid of?" ”
"Your Highness, I don't want to." As if trying his best to hide something, Yu Zhao's body trembled uncontrollably, even with his voice. "The people here seem to be wearing masks, I don't dare to trust anyone, from now on, Your Highness will put down his mind and stop embarrassing me."
Chu Zikai was still puzzled, thought about it in his heart, and said tentatively: "Zhaozhao, don't be afraid, do you care that there are other women in the East Palace?" You don't want to deal with them, I'll help you stop them later. You like me like this, and it will be uncomfortable to be separated from me......"
Before he finished speaking, he was pushed away by Yu Zhao. "A companion is like a tiger, even if you like a tiger no matter how much you like it, if I want to save this life, it's best to stay away."
Chu Zikai couldn't believe it: "You are afraid of me, how could I ever hurt you?" ”
Yu Zhao turned to the side, and his words were resolute: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's just that I don't want to believe it, I don't hurt because I'm profitable, and when I have no value and cause trouble in vain, I don't believe you will let me be safe." ”
Yu Zhao remembered the edict and poisonous wine in the palace before, and felt that this was false, and it was true.
But Chu Zikai really didn't know what happened that day, and couldn't give a credible explanation, so he wanted to further reason with her, but was interrupted by her again: "At this time, I still have some use, Your Highness is unwilling to fulfill his promise, and he is in trouble everywhere, what qualifications do you have to let me trust that you will be worry-free by your side?"
"Zhaozhao, don't be so stubborn, you care about this affection, and you will never give it up for no reason. You know what kind of person I am, you don't have to say these undesirable words to anger me. Chu Zikai guessed in his heart that Emperor Xu is Yuan said something that aroused her arrogance, Yu Zhao said that it was reasonable, but it was definitely not the reason why she wanted to leave, and the cold voice was still not a good taste.
"Do you care?" Yu Zhao looked at him, remembering the conversation with Emperor Yuan that day, and slightly collapsed: "I care about a lot of things, freedom, reputation, and peace of mind. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, what do I have now? And who gave up? ”
Seeing that she was in a wrong mood and her eyes were red, Chu Zikai promised softly: "I will compensate you with one life."
Yu Zhao shook his head decisively: "For the love and grace of the monarch is a double-sided blade, and the grace that you and Your Majesty think is a shackle and the tip of a knife for me." As he spoke, he distanced himself from him, as if he was hiding from some terrible beast, and his tone was also free and disdainful: "Your Highness is also right, there are other women in the East Palace, and I really want what I care about, but if I want to share it with others, even if it is like cutting my heart, I don't want it!" ”
This mouth has always been like arsenic, so poisonous that Chu Zikai's heart is like a knife, and his liver and intestines are broken. But Yu Zhao still thinks he is not miserable enough. I only heard her say again: "Your Highness has a high opinion of my mind, I am now the fox fairy womb in people's mouths, and I can't bear a little accusation and abuse." Why do you want to force me to be a demon concubine for 10,000 years? ”
Yu Zhao closed his eyes, his heart was clear, over the years since he entered the palace, he had changed too much, and he had more things to worry about, so he had to uproot and discard his affection in order to preserve more.
After calming down the sadness in his eyes, Yu Zhao opened his eyes, and was suddenly startled by the face in front of him, and before he could react, Chu Zikai restrained his head and body, his lips were blocked, and he couldn't move. On reasoning, Chu Zikai is at a loss, but he can't say her, he is full of love and stuffy to him, so it is better to vent it practically.
The more I think about it, the more I feel love, and the more I love, the more angry she is, she rejects herself thousands of miles away, but when she thinks that every sentence is a fact, she is distressed and worried, so she simply leaves it all behind and lets herself do it once.
Unable to feel Chu Zikai's complex emotions, Yu Zhao's body and brain froze together, and he only felt that the strength on his lips was sometimes violent as if he wanted to swallow her, and sometimes he cared for her gently. Either way, it made her breathless. No matter how decisive his words and deeds are, Yu Zhao is a human being after all, no matter how high his heart is, his seven emotions and six desires cannot be extinguished, and the closeness of his beloved still subconsciously wants to accept it.
Gradually sensing that the strength of her resistance disappeared, Chu Zikai slowly let go of her, and finally got a chance to breathe, Yu Zhao's breath hit Chu Zikai's chest and neck, making him itch. still knows the measure, even if he is reluctant, he understands that he has to let go of her hand.
Unexpectedly, the moment he let go, Yu Zhao's legs were weak and weak, and he almost fell. was so frightened that Chu Zikai hurriedly hugged him again. Then he didn't let go, hugged tightly, and secretly laughed that the cat in his arms always likes to make a tiger look like a bluff, but in fact, he was scared into such a pitiful appearance just by kissing.
"If you don't say something like that in the future, will you hurt me?" If you want to say that you are angry, you do have to be angry, but when you think of the grievances that the person in your arms has suffered over the years, it will disappear, and you have to coax with kind words: "I don't know that this road is difficult, but if you give up, is it your wish to regret it for life?" You know best that the women who are included in my side are not what I want. You are what I want, but you don't feel sorry for me, and you dislike me and want to leave me. ”
I really understood, but I understood it too much, Yu Zhao felt sad in his heart, and he couldn't reply: "What do you say is your business, whether I believe it or not is my business." But if I don't leave, the sword-like gossip will eventually hurt you and me completely. ”
"Everything is settled, the truth is revealed, you and I are sincere, and no one dares to disagree!"
Chu Zikai always thinks about things on the good side, Yu Zhao doesn't dare now, and mocksed: "Could it be that His Highness knows in his heart that people will always believe what they want to believe, even if the truth is in front of them, they are like blind." He took a deep breath and persuaded rationally: "And we can't be so selfish, where will Ziyi be in the future?"
said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and immediately heard Chu Ziyi's crisp children's voice outside the hall getting closer and closer. "Mother, Big Gray and Mao Mao are fighting!"
At the entrance of the inner hall, Zhuo Yao seemed to stop him. "Niangniang is resting, Your Highness Fifth is going in, don't make noise."
Yu Zhao panicked and tried hard to break free. Chu Zikai stubbornly trapped her and refused to let go. Seeing that the footsteps were approaching, in a hurry, Yu Zhao bit Chu Zikai the shoulder, and when he was in pain, he hurriedly pushed him away and turned to greet him.
It was indeed bitten by her this time, Chu Zikai's shoulder stabbed for a long time, unbuttoned his clothes to check, and sure enough, a tooth mark with a little blood was imprinted on his shoulder. Listening to Yu Zhao's voice softly coaxing Chu Ziyi outside the door, Chu Zikai was puzzled why she was always so cruel to herself.
Outside, Yu Zhao easily coaxed Chu Ziyi to play with kites, and after turning around and entering the door, he saw Chu Zikai sitting on the couch in dishevelled clothes, and when he saw her come in, he pointed to the injury on his shoulder, as if he wanted to tell him how wronged he was.
"Well deserved." Throwing off a sentence and turning around, Yu Zhao wanted to go and get him medicine, Chu Zikai felt that she could definitely do such a ruthless thing as leaving him behind. Shaking his head and saying with a wry smile: "What my father said is really good, you never disdain to accept grace and honor, only do things with a thought in your heart, I am afraid that there is no me in this thought."
These words successfully caused Yu Zhao to turn his head to look at him. "It's because I'm cheap and blessed, and I'm only worthy of being an empty shelf to prevent disasters for others, whether it's His Majesty's grace or His Royal Highness the Prince's grace, I can't stand it."
Hearing this, Chu Zikai sneered and spread his hands. "Zhaozhao, come here, I'll tell you if you can stand it."
Not trying to reason with him, Yu Zhao took a step, turned around and left.
