Chapter 9: A Thousand Miles Meet
Liuning was shocked, could it be Tang Changyu who came to question him, although he knew that he must have revealed his stuffing, but it would not be so fast, Liuning opened the door lightly, and saw that the person outside the door was relieved, it turned out to be his brother.
Liubin walked into the house because today's events made him unbearable, and he wanted to reason with Liuning again, hoping to make a match, and the two could get back together as soon as possible.
Liu Bin persuaded Liu Ning earnestly: "Sister, you also saw it today, Changyu is sincere, you didn't let me say it before, but I have to tell you what happened before you didn't come back today." ”
Liuning wanted to interrupt his brother's words, but this time Liubin did not give in, and continued persistently: "He refused to marry a princess at that time, and was even willing to give up all his titles and wealth, it is really not easy for a man to do this." ”
"You should also be able to understand the reason why the emperor gave him a marriage, using marriage to balance Changyu's military power, even if you come back from the battlefield with us as Marshal Tang's wife, the emperor will still give this marriage."
"You should understand, this is Chang'an, this is the fate that these princes and nobles can't escape, it's enough for him to love you, you don't have to expect too much of a lifetime and a couple."
"Chang Yu is really sincere, he has been trying his best to resist in various ways, and he has been looking for you, and then because the emperor threatened her with his family, you know, he is the only son in the family, and there are some responsibilities that we must understand, but he has never given up on you."
"I originally thought that you had such a deep relationship before, and you came back, these are not enough to stop you, before he was looking for you in order to stay in the Turkic Royal City, but he disobeyed the holy decree to get the opportunity."
"You said that you have experienced so many twists and turns, life and death, and there can be any misunderstanding that cannot be solved, I really don't understand, what happened to you?"
Liu Ning finally stopped being silent, but spoke, and said all his grievances: "The first day I came back, I saw them married, I climbed the wall of his house, and I saw him play the tune that he used to blow only for me to the princess, and he fell down and fell into that embarrassment, the first time I went out, I saw him give the princess our love jade pendant, Chang'an City is rumored that the marshal and the princess are in love, brother, what you said is really not enough to stop us, but what about these?" ”
Liubin shook his head: "My silly sister, you are usually so smart, why are you so stupid and hypocritical now?!" You start to listen to hearsay, you just see this, you believe it, you don't want to think about what happened when you didn't see it, sometimes our eyes will deceive us. ”
"I don't know if what you see is the princess who is playing on the spot, but I know Chang Yu's sincerity, we all see his love for you in our hearts, I believe you are so tacit, you can feel it."
Liuning was a little moved by his brother's persuasion, and felt that what Liubin said also made sense, nodded silently, Liubin was about to leave, leaving a sentence: "Sister, if you think what I said makes sense, you can think about it, and if you figure it out, go to him, don't let him down." ”
Liuning sent Liubin away, sitting alone at the table in a daze, but he didn't know that after Liubin went out, he happened to see Tang Changyu standing in the courtyard, and he had heard the conversation between the two brothers and sisters clearly, which also confirmed his suspicions all along, this Gu Lisheng is Liuning.
Liubin patted Tang Changyu on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Go find her, untie her heart knot, and take my sister home." ”
Tang Changyu nodded and walked towards Liuning's room.
Liuning was pushed open again, got up to look, and said, "Brother, why are you back again, is there anything else?" You're right, I'll think about it. ”
Liu Ning walked to the door, but what he saw was Tang Changyu standing there, he was stunned for a moment, his appearance did not change, his black hair was raised high by the crown of his hair, and he was dressed in a white robe, which was still as warm as jade in his previous memory.
Liu Ning didn't expect him to go straight to the room so quickly, the boudoir decoration in this room was unobstructed, and Tang Changyu was in full view, Liu Ning couldn't help but be glad that he hadn't had time to change into men's clothes when he had just talked to his brother.
But Liu Ning didn't know that the conversation between himself and his brother had been heard by Tang Changyu in the courtyard, although Liu Ning also knew in his heart that he must have exposed his identity.
But Liu Ning could only bite the bullet and stumble and said, "Tang, Tang Gongzi...... You, you came to visit late at night, and you trespassed on the door, but what's the matter? ”
Tang Changyu looked at Liuning's pretending to be stupid now, and he was angry and funny in his heart. Tang Changyu didn't speak, grabbed Liuning's arm and pressed Liuning against the wall, staring straight at Liuning.
The two were close at hand, and Tang Changyu's familiar breath lingered in Liuning's snort, which disturbed Liuning's mind at once, such a distance was too ambiguous.
Liuning struggled to escape, but couldn't escape Tang Changyu's affectionate eyes, and Liuning said in his mouth: "Tang, Tang Gongzi, what are you doing, man and woman...... Oh no, men don't kiss it. ”
But Tang Changyu pressed Liuning's shoulders tightly and firmly fixed her in his arms, unable to break free.
Tang Changyu buried his head in Liuning's neck, and said in a low voice: "A-Ning, I finally found you, come home with me." I have always kept a yard for you in the British Mansion, which is planted with your favorite flowers and plants, as well as your favorite study, and I have arranged them for you. ”
Liuning pushed Tang Changyu and said in a panic: "Tang, Tang Gongzi, you are drunk, I am not Liuning, I am Gu Lisheng." ”
Tang Changyu saw that Liuning still refused to admit his identity, so he rudely ripped off the crown of Liuning's hair, and Liuning's green silk fell.
Now the identity was completely exposed, Liu Ning no longer argued, lowered his head, Tang Changyu's kiss fell, Liu Ning wanted to struggle, but Tang Changyu's arms became tighter and tighter, and the kiss became more and more intense.
Liuning no longer struggled, this familiar and long-lost tenderness made her sink, Liuning also surrounded Tang Changyu, Tang Changyu's kiss was not as gentle as before, with a domineering possessiveness, telling her thoughts.
Tang Changyu's kiss suffocated Liuning, and it took a long, long time to let go of Liuning and hold Liuning tightly in his arms.
Tang Changyu's voice was low, and he lightly told his thoughts: "A-Ning, I heard what you said to your brother just now, I'm sorry, it's all my fault." ”
"A-Ning, I have always believed that you are not dead, I have been looking for you, waiting for you to come back, why are you so stupid, you have not come home when you come to Chang'an, and you have to avoid me."
"When I first met Gu Lisheng, I thought it was you, with the tacit understanding between us, I feel too familiar with you, but that men's dress makes me not sure."
"Do you think I didn't find out that you were following me on the street, I have been keeping people in the pawnshop, I am afraid that one day you will come back to find this jade pendant, but I received a report that Gu Gongzi came to inquire about this jade pendant."
"Except for my A-Ning, I don't know that jade pendant, I am sure that the white-skinned and beautiful Gu Lisheng is you."
"I know you hate me, hate me for marrying a princess, so you have to keep pretending to be yourself, but you have to believe, I don't love her, it's just that she is a princess, I can't snub her, in the British government, I can only give her whatever she wants, except for me."
"That's why you heard those rumors of marshal princess and husband and wife, don't believe the rumors you heard, don't believe what you see, you have to see what I did."
"I didn't play a tune for her, I was thinking about you when I played the tune, I didn't know she was standing behind me."
"I didn't give her a jade pendant, she only said she wanted to see it, I didn't expect her to return it, and I didn't care so much, so I snatched it back."
Tang Changyu said and took out the jade pendant from his arms, put it in Liuning's hand, and looked at Liuning sincerely: "A-Ning, I was wrong, come home with me, okay." ”
Liu Ning clenched the jade pendant in his hand, but pushed Tang Changyu away, shook his head, and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." ”
Tang Changyu was puzzled, grabbed Liuning's hand and asked, "Why?" Aning, can't you forgive me? ”
Liu Ning replied: "Changyu, I believe what you say, but you are now married to the princess and live a stable life, and I, a person who has been recognized as dead, will not be accepted by the emperor if I come back, you have your difficulties, I understand, I don't want you to make trouble for me again." ”
Tang Changyu's eyes were full of sadness: "A-Ning, in the end, you still refuse to forgive me, and blame me for why I compromised in the first place, but it doesn't matter, I know what you think, you don't want to live under the same roof with others, you don't want to share love with other women, even if I don't have love for her at all, you have your principles, I'd rather be broken than broken, I understand you." ”
"I will tell you with actions that I love you, only love you, and let you come back to me."
Liuning was very sad when he heard this, Tang Changyu really knew himself best, he could understand his own thoughts, Liuning was very pleased, but he still said ruthlessly: "Changyu, I'm sorry, I ......"
Tang Changyu straightened Liuning's messy hair, gently kissed Liuning's forehead, and said, "A-Ning, rest early, good night." Then he turned and walked out of Ryuning's room.
Liu Ning was lying on the bed tossing and turning, in fact, from her heart, she had already forgiven Tang Changyu for all her choices and hurt herself, and today I heard him explain and say love in person, and the feeling in my heart was really complicated.
It's just that Liuning still can't be sure, is it really only love? Liu Ning has no courage to face it at all, and there will be another woman in her future life.
There was a flute outside the window, Liuning ran out, but there was no one in the yard, Liuning looked at the direction where the flute came from, it turned out that he had never paid attention to it before, and the courtyard where he lived was separated by a wall was Tang Changyu's mansion, and his brother was really well-intentioned.
Liu Ning couldn't hear the faint sound of the flute outside the window, like crying and complaining, it was so familiar, and he told his feelings in a low voice:
I want to know you well, live a long life, the mountains are edgeless, the rivers are exhausted, the winter thunder and earthquakes, the summer rain and snow, the heaven and the earth are together, but I dare to be with you.
