Chapter 223: Three Silences
Chapter 223: Three Silences
Chu Hengyu didn't want so many people to stand in front of him, and there were indeed a lot of things to deal with, so he just ordered: "Okay, since there is nothing else to do, you can each retreat." ”
Gan Yue and the others glanced at each other, and they all knew Chu Hengyu's temperament, so they didn't stay long, and retreated one after another.
And Yuxin kept watching Ji Feiyan's movements, and after seeing her leave, she also relaxed and walked out.
When Chu Hengyu was the only one left in the room, his originally tense face could no longer remain undisturbed.
The letter that Bai Susu left him at the end was still in his arms, and the words that Fang Cai Yuxin said and the words that Yuxin had originally persuaded him to go to court were still in his mind.
He believed it all, just because he didn't dare not believe it.
Chu Hengyu didn't even understand why Bai Susu chose to leave at this time.
It's like he doesn't know if the memory of going to Butterfly Valley with Bai Susu is true or false.
At this moment, he even hoped that his poison had not been good so far, as long as Bai Susu was still by his side.
Chu Hengyu sat alone on the edge of the bed, as if he could still feel Bai Susu lying beside him.
He was silent for a long time, and then he took out the letter that Bai Susu had left before and was in his arms.
What is written on it is exactly the same as in memory, nothing has changed, except that the sadness and pain now are worse than then.
Chu Hengyu raised his hand and scratched it on the letterhead, as if he could still see Bai Susu writing a letter in front of the case, his hand and Bai Susu's hand overlapped together, and that little bit of temperature from Bai Susu made Chu Hengyu extremely nostalgic.
But all this is just a vain.
Everything imaginary is destined to be shattered, but Bai Susu's departure has still become an established fact.
Finally, he didn't know how long he had been sitting in bed, but he heard an announcement coming from outside the room.
After Yuxin was summoned, she walked in with a stack of folds.
She didn't say this specifically to block Ji Feiyan's words, although she used excuses to keep the courtiers from doubting for the time being, but there were still a lot of government affairs that should be handled.
Chu Hengyu had already put away the letter in his hand after hearing the voice, and subconsciously didn't want Yuxin to see it, but just recovered his cold face and asked, "What has happened in the past few days?" ”
Yuxin put the fold on the table in the inner room, and then replied: "There haven't been too many things in the past few days, and the subordinates who need to deal with the folds have all been sorted out." ”
Chu Hengyu bowed slightly, got up and put on a coat and walked to the table.
As he walked, he asked, "I've worked hard for you all this time, what is the movement on the courtier's side?" ”
Seeing that Chu Hengyu's state looked really good, Yu Xin was also a lot relieved in her heart, and replied respectfully: "Your subordinates have said to the outside world that you have been infected with wind and cold in the past few days, so you can't go to the court, and the courtiers are not suspicious. ”
Because they knew that it would only take seven days, although they didn't believe in Ji Feiyan, they still chose not to make too much trouble about it.
But fortunately, after all, Chu Hengyu didn't show a very tired state when he went to the court before, and this time did happen to change the sky, so they all gladly accepted this statement.
After listening to what Yuxin said, Chu Hengyu didn't have too many doubts about her ability, so he didn't ask any more.
It's just that before Yuxin was about to leave, he still stopped the person and asked, "During this time, did you really not see Su Su?" ”
The tone of Chu Hengyu's voice did not change, and he even had a bit of a sense of business, as if he was still asking about the court.
However, it made Yu Xin's heart tighten, and the movements of turning around were stagnant, and she didn't even know what kind of performance to make it look more natural.
This question alone actually didn't show anything, but Yuxin seemed to hear it, and she was deeply worried under her calmness.
Maybe Chu Hengyu didn't notice it himself, when he asked this, he didn't even look at Yu Xin, and the hands hanging on his sides could be seen to be trembling even if they were hidden in his sleeves.
This state makes Yuxin how to bear to tell the truth.
She could only say vaguely as before: "This subordinate is not very clear, there are a lot of things that need to be dealt with in the past seven days, and maybe Niangniang is also entangled in important matters." ”
This statement is the same as before, and if Chu Heng's language is also the same as before, at this time, he will believe Yuxin's words and stop asking about this topic.
I don't know if Chu Hengyu has completely woken up from his coma, or because he just read Bai Susu's letter, everything is clearer and more complicated.
I only heard Chu Hengyu ask again: "Then in the past seven days, have you really not seen Su Su?" ”
This time, he didn't control his emotions anymore, and it may be that he couldn't restrain himself at all.
Chu Hengyu's eyes were dim, only a little bit of light, just waiting for Yuxin to give a negative answer.
But as long as Yuxin nodded or was silent, the last bit of light might be completely extinguished.
Yuxin didn't know what decision to make, and she didn't dare to tell the truth, but she couldn't bear to see Chu Hengyu's sad look after learning the truth.
Even if she is an outsider, she can see that Chu Hengyu is like a person who is about to fall into the deep sea, grasping the last straw, but she has to watch this straw break little by little, allowing herself to fall into endless darkness.
Yuxin lowered her eyes, not daring to look at Chu Hengyu again, but she didn't stay silent anymore, but replied in a low voice: "Subordinate, I really haven't seen Niangniang." ”
She knew that this time she couldn't hide it.
Once the person who is pretending to be asleep opens his eyes, how can one convince himself that he has not woken up yet?
And after Chu Hengyu got this answer, the last bit of light also dimmed.
He didn't understand why Bai Susu had left at this time, and hadn't even returned after his poison had been resolved.
It's just that Chu Hengyu knew that Bai Susu would never do such a thing for no reason, and he could even guess that Bai Susu would probably do this for himself nine times out of ten.
Therefore, Chu Hengyu held back all his emotions and tried to peel off the cocoon in the past few days, trying to find a little sign of Bai Susu's departure.
Trying to calm himself down, he continued, "Do you know where the hell she went?" And when did you leave? ”
Chu Hengyu always felt that Yu Xin seemed to know a little more things, but maybe this was just an illusion that he didn't dare to let himself completely despair.
But no matter what, he wanted to ask more clearly, he definitely couldn't let go of Bai Susu's hand like this.
