142 Ripples Rise (5)
Lord Rong's words are not only helpless, but also terrifying. Although I knew that the King of Yunnan was not a person who sought perfection, after Lord Rong said it clearly, I couldn't help but be shocked in my heart. I never wanted it to be true, even though I knew it very well, I still didn't want it to be true, I still didn't want to believe it, I still deceived myself.
The doors and windows of Yanlai Hall were tightly closed, not leaking a single gap, I quietly walked to the door frame, and clicked a few drops of the dew left over from the morning on the green branches and leaves next to me, gently soaked a corner of window paper, and looked in.
Before I could hear anything, someone opened the door from the inside, and I fell on the frame of the door, and suddenly I lost my strength, and my steps slanted, and I stumbled, and I almost fell. Fortunately, a pair of hands in front of me quickly and steadily supported me. I looked up and saw that Cangyang was dressed in an indigo blue robe, the neckline and cuffs were trimmed with silver silk threads embroidered with flowing moire, and a blue auspicious cloud wide-brimmed brocade belt was tied around his waist, and his black hair was neatly tied up with a silver crown inlaid with jade, and the white jade crystal on the crown set off the radiant skin on his face, like satin. When I saw him, I was slightly surprised and said, "Why are you in there too?" ”
Cangyang looked at me with a faint luster in his eyes, and said shallowly, "Why can't I be inside?" I stared at him in a daze, my eyebrows furrowed. He never knows, and I don't want him to wade into this troubled water, because he and Luo Xi are facing each other, and they are going their own way, which is what worries me the most.
I lowered my voice and said, "It's messy enough, you didn't have to come here to wade through the muddy waters, why did you do this, do you know that this will make me worry about you." ”
A faint smile appeared on Cangyang's face, and he said comfortingly, "Don't worry, I'll be fine." ”
I plunged headlong into his arms and said anxiously, "Why is it okay?" I glanced at Luo Xi out of the corner of my eye, "You and Your Majesty have been at a stalemate because of my affairs, and now if you get involved in this matter, Your Majesty will only hate you more and be more jealous of you." ”
Luo Xi sat on the top seat and took a cracked cloud porcelain tea cup and gently sipped the tea, his eyes glanced at me, his brows were gloomy, and his face was unfathomable and unfazed. After a while, his face seemed to be normal, and he said in a strange tone, "What?" Does the second lady find it interesting to lie on the door frame and eavesdrop on others? He turned his head and asked the king of Yunnan, "Is this your tutor in the Yunnan Palace?" He sighed lightly and smiled, "I can be regarded as having seen today." ”
I couldn't hear the meaning of Luo Xi's words, my face turned red, and I hurriedly got out of Cangyang's arms, and walked forward to salute, "Your Majesty is blessed." ”
Luo Xi didn't look at me, just let out a faint "um", and his eyes kept falling on the tea soup in the cloud-patterned teacup.
The king of Yunnan sat in the next guest seat, nodded at me, his eyes flickered, and he replied with a smile, "It was my goddaughter who had no way, so that Your Majesty could see the joke." ”
I looked left and right, Luo Xi and the king of Yunnan were both enemies who did not move, I did not move, the mountain rain was about to come, the wind was full of buildings, and the main generals of the two armies were planning the battle against each other, and they couldn't guess what would happen next. But one thing is clear in my heart now, that is, Luo Xi must be jealous again. Anyway, I also called the father of the king of Yunnan for three years, even if he is not true, but after all, there is still a little feeling, how proud the king of Yunnan is on weekdays, and now he is whispering in front of Luo Xi for me, I really can't bear it, frowned, bowed his head and smiled contemptuously, "Your Majesty clearly knows that Miao Miao is not my father's biological daughter, nor did she grow up in the Yunnan palace, but three years ago, the king of Yunnan was kind to me, and I just took the title for three years, even if I don't know how to rules and etiquette, Even if, as it must be said, I don't have a tutor anymore, I can't blame my father after all. ”
Luo Xi's eyelashes trembled slightly, like a butterfly fluttering its wings, his eyes locked on me, but the corners of his mouth smiled faintly, "How can you not blame him, could it be that your 'dad' in the past three years has been called in vain?" ”
I wanted to fight again, but there was no reason to speak of it, so I had to lower my eyes and say hatefully, "Your Majesty doesn't need to be so sarcastic to me anymore, I have come to this point today, who I am thanks to, Your Majesty should know better than anyone else in your heart." ”
Luo Xi's face sank, "Today I am not here to compare with you in the past," after speaking, he turned his face sideways again, glanced at the king of Yunnan firmly, turned the cloud pattern tea cup in his hand with his index finger and thumb, and said slowly, "But for the sake of the prince of Yunnan, I believe that the king of Yunnan should have a little bit of a score in his heart before he came here." ”
The King of Yunnan was silent for a while, his face was ugly, and a sneer came out of his throat, "Could it be that Your Majesty really has murderous intentions towards me?" "If this is the case, Your Majesty will probably start to worry about the opportunity for my three thousand iron cavalry from Yunnan to attack the imperial city soon." Yunnan Wang Liangliang threw out a chip, which was shocking.
But this bargaining chip is a situation that no one wants to see.
Luo Xi's expression froze, and he said in a deep voice, "Are you threatening me?" ”
The king of Yunnan waved his sleeves and said, "Don't dare, but when it is time to remind Your Majesty, you still have to remind you, so as not to make Your Majesty act in a bad way." ”
Luo Xi looked at the king of Yunnan, and after a long time, his face was calm, and he smiled leisurely, "It's just three thousand iron horses, the king of Yunnan thinks that to this day, I will still be afraid of your three thousand iron horses?" Luo Xi deliberately accentuated the word "mediocre" between his words.
My heart was pounding, my brain couldn't think anymore, and I hurriedly looked up and asked, "Is Your Majesty really going to kill my brother?" ”
Luo Xi held the cloud porcelain teacup in his hand, staring at me with a gaze as cold as nine feet of ice, the underground ice cellar, "I still remember that Miao Miao once said to me that everything should be based on the overall situation, why do you ask this question at the moment?" ”
It was as if I had been seized by someone who had done something wrong, and I was speechless.
Luo Xi calmed down and said to me, "Do you think I don't know? The corners of his mouth were indifferent, as if he knew everything by heart, "How can you hide your plan to delay the army." "He saw everything, but he didn't poke me to my face, and I felt a little weak in the face of him at the moment.
I immediately felt like I had been poured a bucket of cold water on my bones, and I didn't know how long it took before I weakly pulled my lips and asked, "You have already seen it?" ”
The cloud porcelain teacup was placed on the table, and there was a soft sound, "You really underestimate me." ”
I sighed, shook my head, and said, "Actually, it's not that I underestimate Your Majesty, but that I think highly of myself. ”
Luo Xi said: "Is there any difference? ”
I smiled indifferently and said, "Of course it's different," I glanced at Luo Xi and continued, "I never felt that His Majesty wanted to kill my brother just because of me, and I never thought of hiding it from the world. ”
The slight doubt between Luo Xi's eyebrows did not escape my eyes.
I said, "But I always feel that even if Your Majesty sees it, you will eventually spare my brother's life for the sake of my thin face, and Your Majesty sees that my plan to delay the army is a matter of course, but I only hope that Your Majesty will be merciful after knowing my brother's and sister's affection for my brother, but in the end, it seems that I still overestimate my weight in Your Majesty's heart." I realized that compared with His Majesty's imperial power and the world, I, like the princess, are all pawns in His Majesty's hands, and they are not worth mentioning. ”
Luo Xi squinted his eyes and pondered me for a few points and said, "Miao Miao, do you think that I will believe you if you say this?" Shaking his head, his eyes were deep, "You originally planned to hide it from me, and after discovering that all the plans were seen through by me, why did you say such things to disgust me!" Look down on me! Lower yourself too! ”
The huge Yanlai Palace, this moment is so cold and empty for me that it seems like I am alone, all the prosperity and grace are like a faint cloud of smoke, so quiet that I can hear the sound of blood splashing when my nails pinch my palm, I really have no choice, "Your Majesty, I beg you to let my brother go, he has done nothing wrong, he is innocent," I looked at him with tears in my eyes, "Your Majesty said that my words are disgusting?" He sighed and sneered, "It's disgusting!" But what can I do? It's clear that His Majesty wants to kill his brother! My brother is a good person, he shouldn't die like this! ”
Luo Xi asked, "How should I die?" ”
I said, "My brother is alone and does not deserve to die under the whirlpool of power struggle, this is the biggest insult to him." ”
The rolled up curtains are like makeup, clear and drunk, a wind of fragrant dust hits, it is Jianning who approached me, slowly squatted down and said, "Miao Miao, it's me who is not good, I blame you, it turns out that people sometimes really can't believe their eyes." ”
I shook my head, the cold tassel in my ear gently rubbed between my neck, and said, "I don't blame the princess, because if I were a princess, I would believe what I see in my eyes first." ”
Luo Xiyu said slowly: "Jianning, haven't you lost enough royal face these days?" ”
Jian Ning's face turned snow-white in an instant, and his shoulders trembled slightly, "Third brother, you said that I lost royal face, so who forced me to such a point?" ”
Luo Xi's expression was cold, and he knocked on the table with his index finger, "Do you mean to blame me and the Queen Mother?" ”
Jian Ning was stunned, his voice was calm and cold, and his words were full of sourness, "Jian Ning doesn't dare to blame the third brother and grandmother." ”
Luo Xi took a deep breath and said, "That's good." ”
Jianning shook his head, and every word was affirmed and resolute, "But Jianning can't let the third brother hurt my husband at all." Her words were very soft, very soft, but also very powerful.
Luo Xi was shocked when he heard this, as if he couldn't believe it, "Jianning! You're a princess! You deserve to know your mission! You should understand that your fate is not up to you! ”
Jian Ning muttered, "I know. ”
Luo Xi pondered, "You know? ”
Jian Ning sighed lightly, "I know that I was born to dedicate everything to the royal family, this is the mission that I am destined to bring, and I also know that the glory and wealth I have enjoyed since I was a child will one day be returned, whether it is my marriage or life or death, it is all up to me, let alone my heart, but I never thought that it was clearly my brother's marriage for me, and the husband I chose, one day my brother would want to kill my husband, but what a ridiculous world?" ”
Luo Xiyu's eyebrows frowned slightly, and his voice was hoarse, "It's that this world is ridiculous, and I have to change this world." ”
Lord Rong's depressed sigh drifted into my ears again and again, and my heart was also a little shaken, clear and restrained like Lord Rong, even if he and Wu Yao had just met, even if they both had the same woman in their hearts, in the face of such a scene, they couldn't help but feel helpless. I looked sideways and saw that there seemed to be a trace of unspeakable sadness in his eyes, and the corners of his lips condensed a little rouge of sorrow, and the words "Your Majesty......" were not spoken after all.
Wu Yao always maintained an indifferent smile on his face, like the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, and the light clouds were like flocculent, "Your Majesty, if my death can be exchanged for the permanent stability and peace of the world, I Wu Yao is duty-bound." ”
Luo Xi looked startled, and looked deeply at the person in front of him, perhaps he had never seen such a righteous person who regarded death as home, and his lips trembled inexplicably, "What did you say?" ”
The king of Yunnan shouted: "Shut up! ”
Wu Yao was not afraid at all, only smiled quietly at the king of Yunnan Feixia, "Dad, you don't have to persuade again, you don't have to stop it, after your son goes, your father will definitely think about the people of the world, and you don't have to avenge your son." ”
The king of Yunnan was so anxious that his chest fell together, "I tell you, if you go, your father will definitely avenge you." ”
Wu Yao was silent, sighed, and lowered his gaze for a long time, "Your Majesty, I know what you are trying to do, and I can understand it in my heart." Your Majesty should know that after my death, there will be no successor to the title of King of Yunnan, and the imperial power will eventually fall into the hands of Your Majesty, "paused, "But I beg Your Majesty to spare my father's life," looked at the King of Yunnan, "He is old, don't be afraid." ”
Luo Xi nodded and replied solemnly, "I will answer you." ”
There were crystal teardrops hanging on Jianning's goose-feather-like eyelashes, and he looked up blankly at Wu Yao, who was talking beside him, the corners of his eyes were a little more sad, and his wrists trembled visibly, and he tightly dragged the corner of Wu Yao's clothes, and muttered in his mouth, probably "Don't ......"
After a short silence, Jian Ning stood up abruptly, blocking in front of Wu Yao, looking at each other, only the sound of the bell colliding between her sideburns and jade in the solemn hall, "No! I'm not going to let you die! Did you even think about me when you said that! ”
Wu Yao helped Jianning, gently wiped away the tears on Jianning's face with his fingertips, and spit out a word in a low voice, "Yes." ”
Jian Ning held his hand and said gently, "Since there is, then how can you say to die so righteously, if you die, what should I do?" ”
Wu Yao's smile hid loneliness and sadness, and he said calmly, "You naturally have to live well." ”
The sadness in Jian Ning's eyes was like not a star in the dark night, he bit his lip and pulled out a smile, "Although you have cruelly abandoned me, I will not leave you, can you understand my words?" ”
Wu Yao was stunned, and his eyebrows jumped suddenly, "No, you can't think like that." ”
Jian Ning lowered his head slightly, "You don't have to say any more, you have your decision, and I have my heart." ”
Wu Yao looked at Jianning for a long time, then sighed and said, "It's me who has caused you." ”
Jian Ning shook his head and said, "It's not a burden, it's a blessing, life can't be the same day, but death can be the same acupoint, but it's also complete." ”
I watched everything unstoppably unfold, but I didn't even know how things got to this point. My heart is full of messiness, my fingertips are cold in the palm of my hand, and the warmth in my palm can't cover the cold of my fingertips at all, like an ice pick hanging under the eaves in the wax moon. I glanced sideways in the direction of Lord Rong, and the indescribable pain and sorrow froze on his face, just like the bamboo under the wind and frost.
