Chapter 187: Yanyu's sincere monologue
"And what about after you come to the gate of the Imperial City? How did you get into the city? After falling into memories for a long time, Jun Buyu first retracted his thoughts, glanced at the smoke and rain in front of him, and asked again.
"Oh...... I'm sorry, but I'm stuck in the memories of the past again. Okay, so I'll move on to my experience. When I saw the rules at the gate of the city, I knew that I had nothing, no money, no identification, no guarantor in the city, and I couldn't enter the city at all, so I was at a loss and didn't know what to do. Just when I was hungry, thirsty and tired, I accidentally saw a woman fall from the bridge into the river, and I happened to be familiar with the nature of water, so I jumped down without hesitation to save her. ”
Yanyu listened to Jun Buyu's question, only then did he wake up from his memories and said apologetically.
"If I'm not mistaken, this woman who fell into the water is the real Meng Yan, right?" Jun Buyu interjected and asked.
"That's right, it's her. When I was at the bottom of the river, I was about to tell ...... conversation between her and Meng Yan at the bottom of the river, as well as the burial of Meng Yan, when I suddenly remembered that I couldn't continue to talk about it, because if I wanted to explain this story clearly, it would involve the true identities of her and Meng Yan as golden-crowned black-tailed frogs.
Otherwise, how could ordinary people chat underwater? Then it should be Yanyu who rescued Meng Yan ashore, but unfortunately Meng Yan was already dying, so after explaining that Yanyu took care of her sister, she died of anger.
Later, Yanyu buried her by the river, which makes sense.
However, if you say so, it is different from what you told the old lady before.
Because what Yanyu said to the old lady was that she buried Meng Yan at the bottom of the river, saying that the old lady would not have been able to find the buried Meng Yan from the bottom of the water without her help, and also said that the map on Meng Yan's body would be very likely to be unusable after being soaked for a long time.
So she didn't know how to tell Jun Buyu about this story, and she felt inappropriate to tell Jun Buyu that she was a golden-crowned black-tailed frog, after all, such a bizarre identity was too absurd to say.
If you don't tell him, you've violated the promise of the truth she promised.
And more importantly, there is still that old lady around here, in case she knows where Meng Yan is buried, then she and Jun Buyu will have no use value for that old lady, then there is only one possibility for the two of them, that is, they will be killed by the old lady immediately.
When thinking of this important issue related to their life and death, Yanyu looked around cautiously, and was afraid for a while, that is, it was too careless, once the ruthless old lady hid in the dark and eavesdropped on their conversation, then they would die.
"What's going on at the bottom of the river? Oh! I understand, shhhhh......h
However, when he saw Yanyu cautiously looking around, he reacted, that is, just now Yanyu used Meng Yan's body to bury it in a place that only she knew, so that the old lady did not kill them.
If he said it inadvertently at this moment, then the two of them would lose the necessity of existence, so he hurriedly gestured to Yanyu not to speak, and began to look around carefully.
It's just that Jun Buyu watched for a while, and didn't find any signs of the old lady hiding in the dark eavesdropping, and didn't see the old lady appear in front of them again, so he was relieved.
Because Jun Buyu knew that if the old lady had heard what Yanyu had just said, she should have appeared directly at this moment and killed them.
After all, knowing that Meng Yan was buried in the river at the gate of the city, she was already sure that she would find Meng Yan's body.
And Yanyu's thoughts were the same as Jun Buyu, and when she saw that the old lady had not appeared for a long time, she also knew that they had finally picked up another life and came back.
It's just that what they didn't know was that the old lady had indeed been eavesdropping on their conversation before, but after listening to Yanyu mention the Holy Monarch and the Holy Maiden in the nightmare, she left in a hurry, so she didn't happen to hear Yanyu tell Meng Yan about Meng Yan's words at the bottom of the river at the city gate.
Otherwise, it's really hard to say.
"Then skip the experience of knowing Meng Yan and talk directly about you and her sister going to the city, right? After all, the walls have ears. Or you can not even talk about her sister, in fact, as far as I know, there is still a month left before the princess in the palace audition, I just want to know why you would rather be a palace maid than be a princess? Is there no confidence that you will be chosen? Or do you simply not want to be the crown princess? ”
After Jun Buyu figured out the reason for Yanyu's worry, he said empathetically, and continued to ask the answer to the question he was most concerned about.
"Thank you for your understanding, and when the time is right, I'll tell you the secret between me and Meng Yan and her sister, right? Since you just want to know if I want to be the crown princess, then I'll answer you this question, right? Yanyu also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said very gratefully.
"You're welcome. Then I'll listen to it. Jun Buyu waved his hand generously, signaling that Yanyu didn't have to feel guilty, just continue to talk.
"Actually, how to say it, maybe many women are willing to seize the rare opportunity to enter the palace as a princess, after all, once they enter the palace, they will enjoy endless glory and wealth. However, for me, the glory and wealth in the palace are just a superficial phenomenon, seemingly beautiful, but miserable. For example, how many of the concubines in the palace can get the emperor's favor? It's more about competing for favor by any means. In the end, it is often a tragic ending where the fish dies and the net is broken. How many people can enjoy the emperor's grace alone and have the last laugh? ”
Yanyu said with a solemn face while reminiscing, when mentioning glory and wealth, what was revealed from her eyes was not envy, but sadness, it seemed that in her eyes, the so-called scenery and wealth were just passing clouds, and they were not worth pursuing at all.
"What you say makes sense, but the world is so big, and there are endless kings, maybe there is a king who can favor one person?" Jun Buyu nodded and said, but when he looked at Yanyu's eyes, he said very seriously that some kings can be alone.
"That's right, since ancient times, there have been kings who favor one person alone, and there are almost rare. And it is often difficult for such a king to defend the country, because the country is easy to get and not easy to defend, if you want to keep the country, you need a bowl of water to be even, and the rain and dew are evenly wet, so as to balance the forces of the court and China, stabilize the harem, and appease the people. Otherwise, the turmoil in the DPRK and China will inevitably lead to the spread of smoke in the country and the displacement of the people, and they will feel that the king only cares about the private feelings of his children and covets women, and will work together to replace them. Therefore, this is the reason that the country and the beauty cannot have both. ”
Yanyu analyzed objectively.
"Then according to what you say, the king can only be three thousand beauties with false feelings, and he can't find a woman who truly loves each other?" Jun Buyu asked a little unwillingly.
"That's not it, in the three thousand beauties, they may not all be women who are greedy for vanity, and there are also true feelings. Because if a woman really likes the king, not the glory and wealth that the king has, then even if the king loses the country one day, she will still choose not to give up. Such women have existed in all dynasties, but it is a pity that many kings have not cherished them.
"After all, there is no shortage of evil women in the palace, and there is no room for the king to favor other women in their eyes, so they will definitely do whatever it takes to get rid of them. Therefore, these women who treat the king sincerely often can't fight the conspiracy jointly planned by other evil women, and in the end they either die inexplicably, or they are still misunderstood by the king and ruthlessly beaten into the cold palace, and end up depressed. Otherwise, there would not be such a thing as the most ruthless emperor. ”
Yanyu said helplessly.
"I understand, you don't want to marry into the royal family as a concubine, it's not that you don't have confidence in yourself, but you don't have confidence in the king, right? Could it be that in your mind, there is no king who is a wise king, and all of them are faint kings who listen to slander? Are they all incompetent men who can't even protect the woman they love the most? ”
Jun Buyu asked with some excitement, obviously not thinking that he would be so dull and incompetent.
"I can't say that, I admit that there are also Ming Jun in this world, who can distinguish between right and wrong, and try his best to protect the woman he loves the most in this deep palace. But he will be very tired, sometimes he will be caught between the minister and his beloved, and he will even be misunderstood and scolded by the people. Maybe he doesn't care himself, and he is willing to do this for the sake of the woman he loves. But on the other hand, if a woman who truly loves him, how can she bear to let her husband suffer and suffer so much?
"Living all day long is like walking on thin ice, and it is difficult to do both. Maybe she would rather be wronged, or even unjustly killed, or withdraw from the deep palace by herself, but also to complete her husband's stability, because when you truly love someone, you don't just want to get the other person, but hope that the other party is happy, even if you can't stay together for a lifetime, as long as the other party is doing well, what can't you give up? In fact, to be honest, my request is very simple, that is, it is enough to love each other with the person I love the most, and live a plain life. Maybe the kind of deep palace wealth that everyone yearns for is not suitable for me. ”
Yanyu also said with some emotion. Apparently for her, for the sake of love, she can give up anything, including her own life. She just wants to love someone simply until she turns white.
"What would you do if one day, I mean, you found out that the person you had always liked was not an ordinary commoner, but a queen? Or is this the fate of God? Do you break off this relationship, or are you willing to accompany him to the deep palace for the rest of your life? ”
Jun Buyu was a little reluctant to probe the way.
"I ...... I've never thought about it. But if it's just God's arrangement, and I don't like the other person, I won't accept my fate! Even if it's against the sky, I want to marry the person I like. But if that's the one I like in my heart...... Then even if he is a king, even if God wants to break us apart, I will keep this love between us! ”
Yanyu hesitated for a moment, and then said in a firm tone.
"Well said! I think I've got the answer I'm looking for. Thank you for your sincere answer, thank you for the rain. I think that in the future, the true destiny of your son will not fail your ......."
Jun Buyu said happily, and after saying that, he knew what he should do......
