Chapter Thirty-Seven: Waiting in the Rain
"Ruyu, listen to me, I really didn't want to lie to you." As soon as he saw Jiang Liuyu come out, Su Jingye held Jiang Liuyu's hand tightly as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.
"These are no longer important," Jiang Liuyu said expressionlessly, "I don't want to talk to you about this now, I just want to tell you that you disturbed my family's rest." ”
"Ruyu, I'm sorry, I just wanted to see you." Listening to Jiang Liuyu's words, Su Jingye suddenly didn't know what to say.
"It's getting late, please leave quickly." Jiang Liuyu turned around, afraid that she would cry out loud when she saw him.
The door of the house was slammed shut, and Su Jingye could only see Jiang Liuyu's back from the crack in the door, he pulled the door knocker and shouted inside: "Liuyu, unless you are willing to come out to see me, otherwise, I will definitely not leave." ”
In the house, the Liu family hugged Jiang Liuyu's shoulders lovingly, and Jiang Liuyu said ruthlessly: "If he wants to guard, let him guard it, no one is allowed to open the door." ”
With that, Jiang Liuyu locked herself in the room. Liu looked up at the sky, the sky was gloomy, and thick dark clouds were gathering here.
"Mingyu, look at this day, there won't be an accident."
The Liu family couldn't help but be a little worried, Jiang Mingyu came over and took the Liu family back together, "Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and they are all adults, so they will be measured." Since he is the prince, he must not be able to stand the cold treatment, and if he retreats in the face of difficulties, you don't have to worry. ”
"I'm worried that our Yu'er won't be able to endure this torment." Jiang Mingyu sighed, Liu was always worried in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.
For Jiang Liuyu to say something about the disturbance, Su Jingye stopped making noise, and just stood quietly, when suddenly there was a thunderstorm, and it rained heavily in the sky.
The raindrops hit the stone bench under the tree in the courtyard, crisp and pleasant like music. Liu was making a female celebrity in the house, and when he heard the heavy rain and thunder outside, he was also very worried.
Listening carefully to Su Jingye's shout outside the door, Liu was afraid that he would cause some trouble, so he got up and took the cloak and put it on.
"Mingyu, there's no movement outside suddenly, I'll take a look."
Jiang Mingyu put down the book, and saw that Liu had already asked someone to bring an umbrella over, so he hurriedly stood up and pulled her, "Don't worry, he may just go back." ”
"He's the prince, if something really happens, our family can't afford to be guilty, you wait here, I'll come back after a look."
As he spoke, Liu was about to hold an umbrella and walk into the rain curtain, Jiang Mingyu held her hand: "That's right, I'll go with you." ”
Liu nodded, and the two walked hand in hand to the courtyard gate, only to open it and see Su Jingye standing in the rain without any shelter.
"Uncle, aunt." There was thunder outside, and he was now even more embarrassed.
"Gee, why are you still here?" Liu exclaimed, and Jiang Mingyu hurriedly asked the little guy to hold an umbrella for him.
Su Jingye blocked the hand of the little servant holding an umbrella for him, and his body was shivering from the rain, "No need, uncle, I just want to see Liuyu now." ”
"You acted inappropriately and broke Yu'er's heart, she is finally relieved now, and you come to recruit her again." Jiang Mingyu said in a deep voice, "You go, Yu'er doesn't want to see you now." ”
"I know it's my fault, and I sincerely apologize,"
Before Su Jingye finished speaking, he interrupted Liu, "Master Su, you are the prince, you have been pampered since you were a child, you have not suffered anything, and you can do whatever you want." But Yu'er is my heart, I will never let her suffer a little grievance, you let her go, it is the best reward for her. ”
"If you insist on not leaving, and you fall ill, then our whole family will suffer in the end." Liu's words made Su Jingye not know how to answer.
He was silent for a long time, then raised his head and said, "Auntie, my suffering is also unimaginable. I won't bother the Jiang family, I made arrangements, everyone thought I was in the capital, and I waited here tonight, until I knew that Liuyu agreed to listen to my explanation. ”
"Then you can do it yourself." Liu shook his head helplessly, Jiang Mingyu asked someone to close the door again, and the group returned to the mansion.
It was late at night, Jiang Liuyu sat by the lantern, she couldn't sleep, the sound of rain outside wanted to hit her heart, and every thunder in the sky would make her tremble once.
"Is he gone?" Jiang Liuyu still couldn't help but ask, and the dozing maid next to her woke up suddenly, thinking that she had heard an errand, so she hurriedly stood up and said, "The lord and the lady went to see it just now, and he was still guarding the door." ”
"Miss, do you want to go and see?" The maid's inquiry made Jiang Liuyu's mind hesitate again.
There was another loud bang, Jiang Liuyu couldn't sit still, and hurriedly took a rain umbrella and went out.
The heavy rain covered Su Jingye's eyes, and the thunder drowned out the sound of the door opening, and he didn't see the comer clearly until an umbrella hit his head.
"Take it, or I'm afraid you won't survive tomorrow." Jiang Liuyu handed him the umbrella, Su Jingye wanted to hug her into his arms, but Jiang Liuyu, who was worried that the moisture on his body would harm him, contracted the wind and cold, so he just looked at her blankly and didn't pick it up.
"Don't let me go." Jiang Liuyu seemed to really want to throw the umbrella away, and Su Jingye was so frightened that she hurriedly hugged her.
"Your Majesty will give you a marriage, which is something I didn't expect, An Ning will go to you, it's my negligence, I didn't protect you, I'm really afraid that you will misunderstand, so I don't want to tell you. I don't want to spoil your impression of me, I really, don't want to lose you. ”
"I already know these things." Jiang Liuyu said coldly, and when the maid saw this, she hurriedly retreated to the door and watched.
"You know, then why are you," Su Jingye was a little puzzled, Jiang Liuyu turned around and faced him: "Su Jingye, I'm not stupid, I can still see some things." ”
"Do you want to know why I'm so angry?" Jiang Liuyu asked rhetorically, Su Jingye nodded blankly, and she suddenly smiled.
"The relationship between us is that I will believe you if you don't need to say anything, but you don't believe me and choose to hide this matter," Jiang Liuyu took a breath, her eyes full of sadness.
"Forget it, what I need most now is not that you are weak to explain, but that I hope you can tell me that you have thought of a way to solve this matter, and it won't make me think nonsense."
Su Jingye was stunned, and wanted to try to explain, "I, I'll solve it, but I haven't thought of a way for the time being." You give me some more time, and I'll take care of what I say. ”
"What are you responsible for, turning against the emperor or the wedding with the county lord of Anning." Jiang Liuyu shook her head, "Su Jingye, what I hate to hear the most is to swear by things that can't be done." ”
After speaking, Jiang Liuyu threw away the umbrella and walked back to the house. Su Jingye looked at her back as she left again, and clenched her fists hatefully, his good tongue had no effect at this time.
On the second day, when the emperor got up, someone came to report. The emperor pulled all the people around him back and sat on a stool to straighten his neckline.
"What matters?"
"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness King Jing left Beijing yesterday and did not return all night." The little eunuch knelt on the ground and slammed his head directly on the ground.
"What?" The emperor was a little surprised, and the little eunuch said, "Your Highness has arranged for someone in the palace, and no one has found out that he is missing. ”
"This kid really did this for a woman." The emperor laughed a little sarcastically, and ordered, "Spread my word and order him to return to the palace quickly." ”
The herald sent from the palace disguised himself and ran to Xishan Village at a high speed. Su Jingye was still standing at the door, and the door was still closed.
"Your Highness, Your Majesty orders you to return to Beijing as soon as possible." In order to hide people's eyes, the herald walked to Su Jingye's side and whispered.
Closing his sour eyes heavily, when Su Jingye opened them, his eyes were clear.
"Okay, this king will go back immediately." It's time to put things out, all out of the way.
Su Jingye's head was dizzy for a while, so the herald tied his horse to the carriage and took him back by shortcut. Only then did he return to the palace, and the herald went back to restore his life, and the butler stepped forward worriedly.
"Why did you come back, Your Majesty won't punish you."
"How can these things be hidden from my father." Su Jingye smiled bitterly and instructed the housekeeper: "After an hour, go and ask the county lord of Anning to come over." ”
The housekeeper asked someone to lead the horse to the stable, and helped the tired Su Jingye to the room.
"Your Highness, it's not that you don't want to see the county lord, what's the matter today," Su Jingye lay on the bed, and the housekeeper hurriedly brought the ginger soup, "But what happened over there has been settled?" ”
Su Jingye was silent and didn't want to speak, and after quietly drinking the ginger soup, he thought about it and looked at the housekeeper: "Forget it, please invite the county lord to Qianli Pond." This king has some important things that need to be made clear to her face to face, and it is best not to attract attention. ”
"Yes, the old slave will do it." The next person had already boiled the water and came in, so the housekeeper took the cup out and let Su Jingye have a good rest.
When the county lord of Anning heard Su Jingye's invitation, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly changed his clothes.
Su Jingye turned to look at her and saw that she had indeed been carefully dressed up today, but he didn't have the heart to appreciate it at all.
An Ning walked in front of Su Jingye with a shy face, and blessed himself dignifiedly: "I've seen Your Highness." ”
"I wonder why His Highness called me?" A pair of big watery eyes, like the waves of the fish's tail in this pool, rippling in a circle.
"This king called you here to make a deal with you." Ignoring Anning's tactful eyes, Su Jingye's mind did not fluctuate at all.
An Ning's heart suddenly cooled down, but she could predict how Su Jingye would treat her, and she didn't feel surprised. "Your Highness, please speak."
"You said before that the queen told you about Liuyu, presumably, you are already the queen's person," Su Jingye turned sideways and looked at the fish under the water, "But this king and the crown prince have always been at odds, you have heard of it." ”
An Ning looked at Su Jingye in a daze and did not answer. Su Jingye continued; "This king will trade with you, protect your Chu king's family, and the wealth and glory of your life, as long as you do things for this king."
