Xiangyun seemed to notice a little unusual, "oh" sounded, and quickly took me into the main hall, which was not burned with spices, only a fragrance of jasmine lingered in the air, pure and elegant, the whole branch was offered in a white jade bottle on the wooden shelf, and the glass cup on the case also contained most of the watermelon juice that had not been drunk, and the sunlight penetrated through the sash window of the double-crossed Siling flower, and the filtered light was not as dazzling as the outside, but it seemed that the hall was very bright. Princess Rongshou was using colored paints to paint the patterns on the drawings in front of the case, but when she saw me coming, she hurriedly dropped her paintbrush and walked towards me, "I haven't seen you for a few days, how are you?" ”

I didn't answer, but asked, "What has Princess Celestia been up to lately?" ”

Princess Rongshou smiled, "You can also see it, I'm learning to draw patterns." With that, Princess Rongshou turned around and took the half-drawn pattern on the case and handed it to me.

I took it, measured it carefully, and said with a smile: "The eldest princess is really ingenious. ”

As he spoke, Xiangyun pushed the door in from outside and poured me a cup of watermelon juice.

I took a sip of the cup and said with a smile: "It seems that every little thing in my Jingren Palace has been learned by the eldest princess!" ”

Xiangyun withdrew with a smile.

Princess Rongshou smiled: "Who made Zhen'er's things good!" ”

I pursed my lips with a smile and bowed slightly, then slowly put the cup back on the table and let out a breath from my chest.

Princess Rongshou looked at me and asked, "What happened?" ”

I raised my eyes to look at Princess Rongshou, and then got up to salute her, but was stopped by Princess Rongshou.

"What the hell is going on?!"

She asked me urgently.

I looked at her and asked, "Is it true that Celestia doesn't hear anything outside the window?" ”

Princess Rongshou sighed, was silent for a while, got up, and couldn't help frowning and said to me: "The matter has come to this, I won't hide it from you, I did go out of the palace a few days ago, and I only came back early this morning, so I really don't know what has happened in recent days, as if the world has been turned upside down!" ”

I looked up at her and nodded, "I believe in Celestial Princess," and then, after a moment of silence, I said, "Many things are not clear for a while, but as long as Celestia has the heart to inquire in the future, she will know everything, and now, I have only come to ask Celestia to promise me one thing for the sake of the relationship between the two of us over the years." ”

Princess Rongshou listened to my words and stared at me in a daze for a long time, the look in her eyes gradually oozing confusion and uneasiness, accompanied by the cicadas outside the window, she sat down slowly, and asked me in a low voice: "What do you say?" ”

I looked at her solemnly and said: "The reform failed, the six gentlemen of Wuxu will be beheaded on the same day, Lafayette will not let me go easily, about these two days Lafayette will do something to me and the emperor, at that time, the eldest princess must not bother for me, just ask the eldest princess to go to Xiyuan for me to take care of the emperor in the future, the emperor must not have an accident." ”

Princess Rongshou was shocked, "Beheaded?!" ”

I nodded.

Princess Rongshou hurriedly asked, "What about you?" ”

I shook my head, "I'm not important. ”

Princess Rongshou looked at me and said, "How can you not be important? ”

I took a deep breath, "Princess Celestia doesn't need to care about me, as long as she keeps the emperor from being harmed by Lafayette." ”

Princess Rongshou calmed down, sighed, and said seriously: "Don't you understand? You think so, the emperor will think the same way, you want to keep the emperor, the emperor wants to keep you, if there is no Zhen'er you, do you think the emperor ......" said, she licked her lips, swallowed, and then continued, "Do you think the emperor will still be high-spirited?" ”

Be in spirits?

I never thought that things would come to this point, and who would be able to be high-spirited in the future.

I shook my head and said, "I just ask the eldest princess to make the emperor live more comfortably in Xiyuan in the future, and don't cut down on food and clothing." ”

Princess Rongshou looked at me and said, "Zhen'er, you look down on me too much, if things really come to this point as you said, do you still need to say what you should do?" After so many years of love between you and me, do you still need to use the word 'ask' to speak? ”

My eyes wandered to the left and right on her face, and then I lowered my eyes slightly, and said softly: "It is not easy to do these things in the future, Lafayette looks at the princess, the eldest princess does not have to do anything for the emperor, let alone take such a risk for anyone, and now I ask the eldest princess to make such a sacrifice, naturally I have to use the word 'ask'." ”

Princess Rongshou leaned forward slightly, her eyes always stared at me and said: "I have met you once, and I have also met Zhirui, not to mention the emperor, my heart has always been with you, and you say this to make us separate." ”

I shook my head, raised my eyes to look at Princess Rongshou, my eyes were hot, "I have always been a confidant of the eldest princess, so I am even more reluctant to involve the eldest princess in this right and wrong, in the final analysis, it is still the battle between me, the emperor and Lafayette, if the eldest princess wants to retreat, she must clear up the involvement with me and the emperor." ”

Princess Rongshou smiled lightly and said: "Do you think Lafayette is so easy to deceive, many things Lafayette should understand in his eyes, sometimes the more he wants to clear up the relationship, the more he can't say it clearly, but it is easy to make others more suspicious." ”

I said "um", "Then, the emperor will be handed over to the eldest princess." ”

Princess Rongshou nodded and said, "I am responsible for the death of a confidant," she thought for a moment, and then said, "But Zhen'er, are you too pessimistic, maybe Lafayette will finally let you and the emperor live?" Maybe Lafayette didn't plan to do anything to you and the emperor at all? ”

I smiled bitterly and said: "You don't know Lafayette's methods, Lafayette will let me and the emperor go, unless the sun comes out of the west, from beginning to end, Lafayette has never been soft on the emperor." ”

"How can you be so sure?"

"I'm so sure."

"After all, the emperor is the emperor!"

"In the eyes of Lafayette, the emperor is nothing at all, Lafayette has always thought that the emperor will always be a plaything in her hands, until one day she suddenly found that the emperor is no longer the original ignorant child who is easy to manipulate, the emperor has his own thoughts, knows to fight for himself, to fight for the world, clearly knows that the building will fall, and knows what to do to redeem, and the emperor did not hesitate to do it, but during the period, he touched more and more personal interests on the side of Lafayette, so, Lafayette, She was in a hurry. ”

After a while, Princess Rongshou slowly looked out the window and said with emotion: "I have lived in the Forbidden City for many years, and I have watched one person after another leave but I can't do anything. ”

I hurriedly shook my head, grabbed her hand and said, "I don't want the eldest princess to keep me, in fact, the eldest princess, you can't protect me at all, I just want the eldest princess to keep the emperor!" ”

Princess Rongshou frowned and looked at me, and that helplessness ran out of her eyes.

I shook her wrist, "Celestia, promise me!" ”

Princess Rongshou's gaze wandered in front of me, "I haven't tried it, how do you know that it must not work?" ”

"I know! I just know! ”

Princess Rongshou faced my determination, was silent for a while, and said in a deep voice: "I don't care, you can let me keep the emperor, but first of all, you can't give up yourself, otherwise, I won't care about any of them!" ”

Hearing her words in an unusually firm tone, my heart was glued, and after a while, I saw that Princess Rongshou's face still did not have a trace of relaxation, and I really couldn't, so I had to promise her first, "Okay, I promise you." ”
