Chapter 042: Hugging
It was almost dusk, and the sun slowly burrowed into the thin clouds, turning into a red ball. A delicate pink color appeared in the western sky, spreading in all directions, spreading halfway across the sky, and then gradually fading from layer to layer, until the edge of the sky was completely grayish-white.
Ye Zhiqiu blessed his body, turned around and retreated, was dragged back by a powerful force, and was embraced by him, and a familiar and unfamiliar man's breath came to his face.
"Just for a moment, don't push it away." A low, magnetic voice sounded in my ears, "I am so tired, and every day I am surrounded by flatterers who are deliberately flattering, wearing false masks, and doing everything they can to deceive me into trusting or appointing, I don't know who is sincere and who is false. Only you......... Push me out. ”
His words were in her ears, word by word, as if they had penetrated into her heart, and she was at a loss. As if bewitched, she really didn't push it away, her hand raised to push it away, and she froze in mid-air, only holding him stiffly.
"Is it nice to be by my side? In the position of queen, I hope that the person sitting on it is you. It is said that the royal family is ruthless, and the emperor is ruthless, but I still send a private message...... I hope that my wife can be the person I like, not without the slightest emotion, and I want to consolidate the lock of one party's power. I admit that the first decision to make you the queen was decided by the Taifu and the Queen Mother after some discussion and consideration, and I also felt in my heart that I had the best of both worlds, so why not. Do you know? During the two months of waiting for the wedding, I felt ....... It's like coming back to us..... When we met under the plane tree, it was so throbbing....."
A sudden affectionate confession, but there is no romance like wind and snow.
The summer breeze is thin, and the night is as cool as water. She felt a little sad in her heart, they were only twenty-nine years old, but they were no longer qualified and in the mood to feel the freedom and casualness of a teenager, the family and the community pressed on them, making them breathless, and the two people who were sick and sympathetic to each other, hugging each other at the moment, actually had a sense of huddling together in the cold wind to keep warm.
Only she knew that this brief warmth was tantamount to a moth to a fire.
Because he and she have no future after all.
But at this moment, the voice in Xu is ears was too bewildering, or his embrace, which made her feel at ease and relaxed. In a trance, she felt that she had just had a dream, and when she woke up, what was waiting for her was: her marriage to her sweetheart is imminent, her parents are alive, and everyone in Beijing is envious, Ye's eldest daughter, Ye Zhiqiu.
It was only now that she admitted in her heart that she was indeed pleased with him. Maybe it was the surprise when I first saw her, or the little marks of my classmates in the temple for three years, or it is more likely that in the Guanyin Temple that day, he took the risk to save her and rolled down under the plane tree for the first time........ The falling red leaves that day, and his figure and face, appeared in her dreams countless times, until she learned her life experience, and the dream turned into a nightmare, making her suffer from all the demons and toss and turn.
The tip of her nose was sore, and tears seemed to well-up from the corners of her eyes, she didn't want to cry in front of him anymore, as fragile and helpless as that night. He simply buried his head deeper, in his chest.
Zhao Sizhuo felt that the body in his arms was no longer stiff and tight, and gradually relaxed, his heart softened, but the crook of his arm tightened slightly.
The two hugged each other without saying a word, just quietly enjoying the moment.
After a long time, some hoarse female voices sounded in a low voice, "If one day, the murderer of my parents finds out that he is the emperor's closest relative, what will Your Majesty do?" This is a pun, referring to both her biological parents and her adoptive parents.
The hidden temptation in the words was the last glimmer of hope in her heart, and she looked forward to his answer like grasping the last straw, so that she could let go of the mustard in her heart, believe in him, and give it a try. After all, even if they can't be husband and wife, they are brothers and sisters who share half of the same blood. She wanted someone to share the weight of this blood and feud with her.
Ye Ruochen, she didn't want him to get involved in this bloody storm, and she would do her best to protect him and protect him.
Because he is not only the only bloodline left by her adoptive parents in the world, the eternal brother in her heart, but also the only mark that reminds her of the happy childhood and life of the past 16 years.
"I'll ........ him at your disposal. ”
"If I want their lives, is Your Majesty really willing to give them to me?"
"Hmm. Collusion with enemy countries and murder of important ministers and loyal people is a ........ Capital crime. Not only will I give you an explanation, but also those who sacrificed bravely and the living Ye Jiajun......."
"Marry me, except for the affection of His Majesty......... It's also to subdue and control the Ye family's army, isn't it? Ye Zhiqiu lowered her eyes, and her slightly trembling eyelashes leaked the bottom of her heart.
He knew that she was Bing Xue and smart, and he couldn't fool her, and he didn't intend to lie to her, so he simply admitted: "Hmm." Since your disappearance, your grandfather has been recuperating from his injuries, and there are serious divisions within the Ye family. I sent Lin Yanning to Jiangbei to take charge of military affairs, but the generals in the army did not accept him, and he was the grandson of Lin Guangyao, and the old people of the Ye family army were even more afraid of him. Now, I am struggling, for fear that if I am not careful, I will take a wrong step and fall into the abyss. The hundred-year-old society of the Southern Zhou Dynasty was not as reliable as it seemed on the surface: there were Northern Yan in the north, waiting for the opportunity to move; Southland..... King Huainan has not been without small actions over the years, his father died eighteen years ago, if it weren't for the fact that his father had already deployed the aftermath, Taifu and General Ye Lao were loyal, but they were afraid of ...... I want to ascend the throne, it's not that easy. ”
She chuckled, as if laughing at herself, or at her father, who died young. I don't know what proportion of her is in the aftermath he has deployed? I don't know if before her mother was martyred, did she ever think that she would be left alone in the world, and she would be helpless and orphaned like now?
What he said, in fact, she always knew in her heart. His affection for her is true, but from the beginning, it has been mixed with power games, and it has never been pure. After all, she still chose to be cruel to herself, and listening to him say it in person shattered the last trace of illusion in her heart and completely shattered it.
The former Ye Zhiqiu, on that bloody night two years ago, passed away with the death of his adoptive parents. The girl's heart she left behind has also been broken recently. In the years to come, she does not live for herself, but wants to make the enemies who hurt her relatives pay the due price.
She broke free from his embrace, came to the railing of the cabin, leaned against it, and smiled at the moonlight and the night sky, like a madman, like a madman.
Zhao Sizhuo looked at her abnormal behavior, her brows tightened, I don't know why she reacted so much? He was telling the truth, and I believe she already knew it in her heart.
It wasn't until she laughed out of tears that she wiped the moistness from the corners of her eyes with her fingers, and her vision slowly turned from blurry to clear, she turned around, her face had returned to her usual indifferent look, and she only looked at him and said: "Zhiqiu is as Your Majesty wishes, but I just hope Your Majesty will remember what you said today." Zhiqiu also has a request, which he hopes His Majesty will grant. ”
He frowned, but responded. "But it doesn't hurt to say it."
"After the wedding, if I don't want to, Your Majesty can't force it on me."
A trace of injury flashed in Zhao Sizhuo's eyes, and he was cold, and said incredulously: "What did you say?" ”
"Waiter, if I don't want to, Your Majesty can't force it on me."
She repeated word by word, clearly.
