Chapter Eighty-Three: The Winter Hunt
Yan Jiaxin stood stiffly in place, her body couldn't help but tremble and wanted to see everything around her clearly, but it was still black except for black. "Yun Mengchen? Yun Mengchen, don't make trouble, you answer me, I'm afraid.." Her voice cried out with a heavy trill, and only her hands could still move waving in the night, trying to grasp something.
No one responded to her for a long time, and she couldn't even feel the sound of Yun Mengchen's breathing, Yan Jiaxin, who was shrouded in the darkness around her, every frightened cell in her body was shouting.
She looked at the night in front of her with fear and anger: "Yun Mengchen, I know that I have lost your face by mentioning peace to you, you are not happy, but do you know what I have endured?!" ”
In response to her, in addition to the black, it was the whirring wind around her, as if she had found an outlet, Yan Jiaxin vented all the bad emotions that had been holding her all day: "You are the younger brother of the emperor of Yongling Kingdom, but I am just the daughter of a petty official, we are suitable." ”
Saying that, she squatted down and hugged herself tightly: "I suddenly came to this place where I don't know anything, do you know how scared I am, but I just want to go home, I just want to go home when I marry you!"
I originally thought it was a very simple thing, but do you know what, if I continue to do this Princess Chen, I may even lose my life! Thinking of Sima Jingshu's cruel eyes, Yan Jiaxin buried her head between her legs, and her heart trembled uncontrollably.
"You can get lost in every way, do you say you can still live without this king?!" An urgent magnetic voice with a heavy panting sound sounded above Yan Jiaxin's head.
She felt a slight warmth and slowly lifted her head from between her legs, a torch at her side illuminating everything around her, and a familiar face to be seen.
When Yun Mengchen looked at the pair of red and swollen eyes that were already crying staring at him blankly, his whole heart was suffocated, his pupils constricted and he looked at her, and a feeling of pain slowly spread from the bottom of his heart, and there was a tendency to intensify!
She had a pale little face, and hugged herself tightly in the cold wind, like a broken doll, which would disperse when the wind blew! He'd never seen her like this...
Yan Jiaxin gasped twice, her stiff and tense body relaxed, and her empty eyes regained a little vitality, but in the next second, an amazing cry broke out: "Yun Mengchen, where have you been, do you know that I am afraid of the dark, you still want to take me to see the dead, and leave me here!" Woooooooo
Yun Mengchen didn't speak, wanting to reach out and pull her up from the ground. But she slapped her hands away, and before she could speak, her crying came again.
"You just kill me, anyway, if you don't reconcile with me, I will die sooner or later, I don't want to live this kind of frightened life again, you kill me, give me a good time, I will die early and be free!"
"The emperor's will grant marriage, is it you and I can divorce if I can reconcile?" Unexpectedly, Yun Mengchen's voice was not angry this time, but it was very gentle to persuade her.
"I don't want to listen to your excuses, anyway, haven't you always wanted my life, take it, I'm not afraid of Yan Jiaxin!"
"......" Yun Mengchen supported his forehead: "It's cold on the ground, can you get up and talk again?" His outstretched hand was slapped away by Yan Jiaxin who was dancing with teeth and claws, she was like a frightened kitten at the moment, and whoever moved her would scratch whomever she wanted.
The two of them stared at each other like this, as long as Yun Mengchen didn't move her, Yan Jiaxin cried, and in the end, Yun Mengchen reluctantly compromised: "Then you say, what do you want to do now?" ”
Yan Jiaxin looked at him while rubbing the two red and swollen walnut-like eyes, but before her words could be spoken, Yun Mengchen grabbed the conversation and said first: "It's not that I don't reconcile with you, you became the princess of Chen, and after you leave, you will not be taken care of by the palace of Chen, I am afraid that you will die faster, not to mention that the king also said just now, the emperor gives marriage, and you and I have no right to ask for divorce!" ”
Hearing his words, Yan Jiaxin calmed down a little, thinking of the matter of the Zongren Mansion, what Yun Mengchen said was indeed right, but if she continued to be this Princess Chen, then Sima Jingshu would not let her go, thinking of this, she closed her eyes and cried silently.
But she only felt that her body was hot, as if something was covering her body, she didn't want to pay attention to it, she just wanted to vent well, sigh fate, sigh her experience and the difficult situation at the moment, she really didn't know what to do!
"You know what?" Yun Mengchen's faint voice sounded beside her, and she didn't hope that she would react, his starry eyes flashed slightly into the night, as if he was reminiscing, and like he was stating, his tone was ethereal and ethereal, sliding through people's hearts, as if some emotion had passed, scratching your heart, and it disappeared without pain.
"Here, I used to be as helpless as you were." He spoke lightly again, but the tone of understatement seemed to have a heavy aura slipping through, and listening to it made people feel that this was a true story with a strong sadness.
Yan Jiaxin raised her head and looked at the person who spoke in some surprise, his expression was calm, without a trace of waves, as if he was telling someone else's story, but Yan Jiaxin knew that the more calm the person was, the heavier the pain in his heart.
It's not that they don't grieve, but they don't want to show it in front of others, and only in the dead of night will they take out their wounds and lick them over and over again, even if it's a wound that will never heal!
On the dark winter night, in the cold wind, two people who were snuggling up to each other were talking quietly, listening, the bloody wounds were placed in front of Yan Jiaxin, which shocked her and made her unable to let go for a long time!
Even if Yun Mengchen wrapped his coat around her and let her lean on his side, she couldn't warm her heart that was shocked to numb at the moment, that bloody story, just listening to it made her sad, not to mention that she was still such a young child!
How strong he has to be, how much hardship he has to endure to barely survive so far, but even so, even if he doesn't say it, she knows that those people want to kill him because they are afraid of his royal orthodox bloodline, and one day he is there, he will be a great threat to the next emperor.
Heart, gradually calmed down, Yan Jiaxin looked at his calm demeanor, and slowly reached out to hold his hand that was trembling slightly because of forbearance, not knowing what to say, until his tense emotions also relaxed, Yan Jiaxin muttered: "Everything has passed." ”
When the tears stopped flowing, he raised his eyes to look at him: "Everything will be fine, right?" As if to comfort and encourage herself and him, at this moment, she seemed to be less afraid.
Although, I don't know why she came here to meet him, and since then the fate of the two of them has been closely implicated, but she is not the one who easily admits defeat!
She has seen a lot of Gong Dou routines, and since things have developed like this, she has no other way than to accept them calmly. In this case, it is better to simply let go.
A broad palm caressed her head, Yan Jiaxin raised her eyes and looked into a pair of starry eyes, the cold light of the past was completely gone, and some were only so soft that they looked like unbreakable lake water, clear to the bottom, glowing with soft light.
After this incident, the way the two people get along with each other has undergone some subtle changes, as if nothing has changed. Two days passed like this, and in a blink of an eye, it was the winter hunting meeting of Yongling Kingdom.
Early in the morning, everyone gathered outside the Zhonghe Palace, the red carpet was spread on the ground, the sound shook the sky, all of them rode high-headed horses, heroic and sassy side by side in two rows, arranged according to the different heights of the position, and the number of people was so large that they could not see the edge at a glance.
In addition to Yun Mengxiang, a bewitching and handsome man behind him attracted the attention of many girls, dressed in a black and red riding suit, with a long body, a bun tied up by a hosta, leaving a strand of hair on his forehead, with the evil and wild and evil smile on his handsome face, everywhere he looked, it could cause a commotion!
"Oh my God, who is that person, he can actually rank behind the emperor! It's so stunning, especially his smile, it's so tempting~"
Seeing that the woman still looked shy after speaking, Sima Jingshu, who was riding on the horse, followed the prestige, she who had always had eyes above the top, and there was a hint of surprise in her eyes, and a hint of surprise, was he? Surprised, the person she was watching was also looking at her, and the sight happened to collide like this.
Sima Jingshu peeked at the discovery and still replied to him with a polite smile, but he didn't squirm, and then didn't look at him again, but after the man's eyes scanned the crowd, he took it back without a trace.
At this time, someone went to the emperor to say something, only to see Yun Mengxiang raise his hand and wave, the horn sounded in all directions, and with the support of the army, everyone went towards the destination with great momentum.
This winter hunting meeting is set up on the Shepan Mountain 20 kilometers away as in previous years, Shepan Mountain is the largest and most luxuriant mountain in Yongling Country, the terrain is flat and rugged and winding, and the rare beasts in it are as many as hundreds of species, it is the largest and best hunting ground of the royal scale, and if you are lucky, you can also hunt white robes there.
The white robe is a giant animal that is active in winter, its fur is more high-end and precious than the thousand-year-old fox fur, but the chance of encountering it is very rare, so many years, Yun Mengchen's father hunted one many years ago, and no one has been able to meet it since.
Everyone has great expectations for this hunt, only Yan Jiaxin on the carriage is a little absent-minded, as soon as she came, she saw Ning Weijin next to Yun Mengxiang, and heard Yun Mengchen say that yesterday in the palace was a grand reception of envoys from various countries and emperors of other countries, Ning Weijin is really the emperor of Yongle country!
