Chapter 5 The Past Is Like a Dream

The snow began to fall again, and the sparse snow was like the heavens' sigh to the world, gradually obliterating the black marks of the wheels.

Gong Yu lifted the curtain of the car, and some cold snow fell on her cheeks with the wind. She silently looked at the streets of Shengjing, and on a snowy night, few people lit the lights.

"Your Highness, it's here." Li Shuying turned over and got off the horse.

Gong Yu looked up and saw the vermilion door. Above the Zhu Gate is a door plaque, inscribed with five big characters of "Princess Yuanxi's Mansion". Gold edge inlay, honor and luxury.

Gong Yu seemed to be nailed to the spot, and did not move a step for a long time.

This mansion was given to her by her father when she got married, and the words on the door plaque were also inscribed for her by her father, which was given by the Holy Lord, and it was a supreme honor. It is also a manifestation of Princess Yuanxi's favor.

But she never cared about this place, it wasn't her home.

It's just a place of resentment and humiliation.

She resented the Taishi Xie Xun, and she used marriage as a bridge for revenge.

Xie Yun, her colt, is the target of this resentment and humiliation.

Gong Yu recalled her wedding.

This marriage was what she begged for. When Taishi Xie Xun bluntly said that he wanted to execute King Gong, she began to plan this marriage.

Fufeng Xie is the head of the four great families, and there are many talents, and they have made immortal contributions to the stability of the Eastern Chu Dynasty. Taishi Xie Xun is an important minister of the two dynasties. She couldn't shake Xie Xun, who was born in such a family of gate valves, but no matter what, she had to give Xie Xun some of her pain back.

For this reason, she did whatever it takes, she took advantage of her father's favor and guilt for her, and also took advantage of her marriage.

She chose Xie Xun's grandson, Xie Yun of the Fufeng Xie family. He was also the most outstanding young man of the Fufeng Xie clan at that time. At that time, he was crowned with Shengjing, amazingly talented, and proud, transparent and clear.

It is precisely such a person who can humiliate Xie Xun a few points if he destroys it. Just like when Taishi Xie Xun wanted to put King Gong to death no matter what.

She was married in the winter of that year. She was only thirteen years old. That year was also the year of the death of her princely brother, and the year of the death of her brother Huaishu, who she had always admired, King Gong.

It was snowing that night, too. The snow is not heavy, but it is cold. It was clear that the snow was so soft that it fell in the palm of her hand, but she felt bitterly cold.

She never thought she would marry Xie Yun.

She always thought that she would marry the only king with a different surname in Eastern Chu - Xiao Jing, King Gong.

When Xie Yun walked into the princess's mansion in fresh clothes, she lifted her hijab herself, and she saw Xie Yun's face, his dark eyes seemed to be covered by layers of mist, looking cold and silent.

She has never called Xie Yun a husband. Xie Yunyu is just a chess piece used to humiliate Taishi Xie Xun.

Xie Yun himself knew what kind of humiliation he would suffer in the princess's mansion, but he couldn't help but marry her as a princess in order to help the Xie family.

A courtier cannot disobey the emperor.

Such a distinction between monarchs and ministers made her smile slightly.

Later, she placed him under house arrest in the Princess's Mansion, where she treated him as a prisoner.

She ruined his career, and this young man, who was known as a talented man in the world, was trapped here.

He was tortured for a long time. She gave Fufeng Xie a great humiliation.

Xie Xun couldn't bear to let his grandson suffer in the princess's mansion, so he did not hesitate to kneel in front of her father and the emperor, and resigned as a concession.

She stood quietly beside Xie Xun kowtowing, and she watched Xie Xun cast a look of anger and pity at her.

She didn't have any joy that she had imagined.

She tortured Xie Yun, humiliated Xie Xun, and even the Fufeng Xie family behind them. But she was also torturing herself.

Her prince's brother and Huaishu's brother have not returned.

There was a thick tuft of snow on the branches outside the princess's mansion, and the branches seemed to be unable to withstand the pressure of the snow and were broken alive.

Gong Yu's face was hidden under the shadow of Magatama falling from the eaves, melting into the darkness. After a long time, she said softly: "Shuying, let's go." We shouldn't have come to the Princess's Mansion tonight. ”

She shouldn't have come to see Xie Yun after all.

When Gong Yu was about to leave, the vermilion door opened unexpectedly.

Gong Yu turned around, and she looked inside the door in surprise.

The man stood silently in the snow with a lantern glowing with a cold glow. He was wearing a green shirt, his black hair fell down his shoulders, and his dark eyes were still so silent and foggy that it was difficult to guess.

"Xie Yun?" Gong Yu looked at him in a daze, and couldn't help blurting out.

"Your Highness has returned to Beijing ahead of schedule." Xie Yun's voice was a little cold, and there was neither sadness nor joy on his face, neither surprise nor hatred. The cuffs of the green shirt are still embroidered with bamboo leaves. He just asked quietly, "Why don't you enter the mansion?" ”

yes, why didn't she go into the house? She went back to the princess's mansion to see Xie Yun, but this person was close in front of her, and she was a little overwhelmed.

"It's just that I thought you were asleep, so I wouldn't be able to disturb you." She reluctantly replied.

"After seven years, Your Highness has forgotten, I always can't sleep at night." His expression was still as calm as ever.

Gong Yu couldn't help but tremble his fingers when he heard this. Seven years ago, she had made him so miserable that he couldn't sleep at night. Thinking about it, she couldn't help but look up at Xie Yun, and she saw the faint lines on Xie Yun's neck. It was a fine, dense scar. Even though it was hidden by the shadow of the collar, the color was still incompatible with his snow-white skin, which was shocking.

All this is the sin she committed seven years ago.

Xie Yun didn't seem to see Gong Yu's expression, he only said in a low voice: "For tomorrow's grand event in Beijing, His Royal Highness has found a stand-in." His Royal Highness can return to the princess's mansion at this time, because he has already done what needs to be done. ”

Gong Yu lowered her eyes, and she said, "You might as well tell me, why did I enter Beijing early?" ”

Xie Yun seemed to be accustomed to such an invisible examination, and he replied: "Your Highness will not be constrained by the status of the princess if you enter Beijing in advance, and you can avoid the eyes and ears of the prince, and you can easily enter Beijing, and Your Highness's plan can be carried out more smoothly." In this way, you can get the advantage of being in the dark and the enemy in the light. ”

This man has always been smart. He used to be able to deduce a lot from the minutiae as well.

If he enters the official career, he will definitely rise to the top.

"You're right." Gong Yu nodded, her face a little pale. "Entering Beijing ahead of schedule, I went to the Joy House in the world, and this Jianghu force has been used by me."

Xie Yun suddenly stopped and stared sideways at Gong Yu.

Gong Yu looked at his wide sleeves embroidered with bamboo.

"Why did Your Highness tell me?" Xie Yun said.

Seven years ago, she could only use and humiliate him. She would only let him guess these things.

"It doesn't hurt to tell you." Gong Yu replied. "You're in the princess's mansion, and you can't leak any news." She convinced herself.

"What Your Highness said is very true, I have always been in the Princess's Mansion." Xie Yun reached out and brushed the snow off his sleeve.

Was this a sarcasm for her trapping him in the princess's mansion?

Gong Yu didn't look at Xie Yun's eyes. She was silent for a moment, and suddenly said softly, "If you want to leave the princess's mansion, you can leave." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, Gong Yu seems to see Xie Yun's dark eyes dyed with some snow chill at this moment.

It was a very sad indifference and coldness!

"Your Highness said with a smile, I guess you know very well in your heart that I can't leave the Princess's Mansion." Xie Yun said in a low voice.

The decree had bound them together.

She symbolizes the dignity of the Eastern Chu royal family, and behind him is the glory of the Fufeng Xie family.

"Your Highness, it's late at night, so rest early. I will not accompany you. Xie Yun's voice was still so cold.

He left with the lantern in his hand.

Gong Yu looked at the figure that was still beautiful in the snowy night, and stopped in place
