Chapter 242: How to Face It
"Xue Yi, do you love Xiao Yichen or the emperor?"
"Does it make a difference?" Xue Yi was speechless, she didn't know how to answer King Yu, does she love Xiao Yichen? Do you love the emperor again?
"Of course there is a difference, Xiao Yichen whom Xue Yi knows is an ugly and indifferent cripple, while the emperor is a handsome and chic man who loves you." King Yu chased after him.
Xue Yi smiled like a breeze, and that smile fell on King Yu's eyes, stinging.
"I won't leave the palace and leave the emperor, at least not now." Xue Yi didn't want to be entangled with King Yu, she was as affectionate as him, and she couldn't afford it in this life.
The truth is cruel, and the two of them carefully go around in circles.
Fate has long been predestined, whether it is fate or resentment or injustice, none of them can escape, even so, it is better to move forward frankly.
No one can convince anyone, no one can control anyone's fate, no one can predict what will happen in the future, only wait, although King Yu doesn't want to watch Xue Yi return to the lonely palace, but he doesn't want to force her, knowing that Xue Yi has made up his mind, guessing that Gong Shangyi's family should have dispersed, King Yu led Xue Yi from the roof and flew down the alley.
Xue Yi looked at King Yu in a daze, the real Five Princes, remembering the Five Princes pretended to be Xiao Yichen in the past, at that time, as long as she was in danger, the Five Princes would always appear at the first time to save her and help her, at that time she liked the Five Princes.
"Come with me somewhere." Xue Yi walked slowly.
King Yu followed behind her: "There is the emperor's eyeliner over there in the post house, and Princess Lanhe is still unconscious, even if we go, it will be a trip in vain." ”
Xue Yi was stunned and froze in place, he actually guessed her thoughts!
"The last general will knock on King Yu, Chitose Chitose, Chitose Chitose." The sound of horses' hooves fell, and the armored Royal Forest Sergeant saw King Yu from a distance, jumped off his horse and knelt down.
"Flat." King Yu clasped the sergeant with both hands.
King Yu looked at Xue Yi, he knew that it was too late for Xue Yi to leave, it seemed that the emperor was nearby, sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves started, the smoke and dust, the white figure gradually became clear, Emperor Cheng came in a white brocade suit and hit the horse, and saw Xue Yi at a glance, the person had fallen off the horse, and swept in front of Xue Yi, grabbing Xue Yi's hand, I don't know whether it was annoyed or excited, and the voice trembled a little: "Xue'er, where have you been, are you dying?" ”
Xue Yi threw herself into Emperor Cheng's arms, burst into tears, and choked up: "It's not good for the concubine, the concubine is greedy for the scenery outside the palace for a while, and she lost her direction, if it weren't for King Yu,." ET”
Tears are always the best weapon against your lover.
Emperor Cheng saw that Xue Yi pear blossoms were raining, and he had already thrown the doubts and annoyances in his heart to Java, he looked at Xue Yi and then at King Yu, and asked King Yu: "King Yu, what's going on?" ”
Xue Yi hurriedly stopped: "Don't say it." ”
"Why don't you say it, King Yu, say it quickly."
King Yu looked at Xue Yi and was silent, he knew that Xue Yi didn't need him to say anything, sure enough, Xue Yi sobbed: "Let's say it to the concubine, Shicai, the concubine met a group of people, holding the portrait of the concubine and looking for the whereabouts of the concubine, the concubine was almost arrested by them, fortunately, King Yu saved the concubine." ”
After Xue Yi finished speaking, she said coquettishly to King Yu Wanfu: "Thank you for saving your life." ”
Wanfu, the sound is like a yellow bird, the eyebrows are like flowers, affectionate and shy, the seemingly casual eye contact, falling in Emperor Cheng's eyes like a thorn, he can't wait to hide Xue Yi in his heart A cough interrupted the two who looked at each other.
"King Yu, you have a meritorious service in saving Concubine Xue, and you will be rewarded with 3,000 silver and 100 brocades." Emperor Cheng still rewarded King Yu.
Emperor Cheng saw Xue Yi get into the soft sedan chair, stretched out his hand to stop King Yu, who was about to leave, and asked, "Who is so bold that he dares to look for her with Xue'er's portrait?" ”
King Yu smiled, looked at Emperor Cheng's black eyes and said, "Why didn't the emperor directly ask if what Concubine Xue said was true?" Where did the younger brother find his mother? What did you say to the mother? ”
Emperor Cheng sneered: "I believe in you." ”
King Yu Zhengyan said: "No, the imperial brother may have believed in the courtier's brother, but now, you have begun to doubt Xueyi, and you will no longer believe in the courtier's brother, and the courtier's brother doesn't want to hide anything, it was Gong Shangyi who sent someone to look for Xuefei, why didn't the courtier's brother know." ”
"Gong Shangyi looking for Xueyi? Why? Emperor Cheng's eyes gradually deepened.
"Because the real Gong Zhixiu was robbed by Xueyi! She already knew the true identity of Concubine Xiu in the palace. King Yu's seemingly breezy words stirred up a thousand waves in Emperor Cheng's heart.
Staring at King Yu's eyes, if this is the case, Xue Yi probably already knows his true identity, she can't help but say that it must be because of Lan Guang, but he let Lan Guang go in order to save her!
"Fifth brother, quick, go and chase Lan Guang back to me!" Emperor Cheng paused.
King Yu stood in place: "It's too late, I'm afraid that Xiao Yu and they are almost at the boundary of Fengwu Country." ”
Emperor Cheng smiled coldly, stared at King Yu word by word and said, "You are really my good brother, you already knew that Xue Yi already knew everything, right?" You guys have colluded early in the morning to rescue Lan Guang, right? Why?! Why?! Why are you doing this to me?! ”
Emperor Cheng shot like lightning, and his two fingers clasped King Yu's choked throat.
King Yu stared at Emperor Cheng, his clean eyes were silent, and after a while, King Yu slowly closed his eyes, as if he heard a rattling sound in his throat, and the sweetness was stuck in his throat.
Seeing King Yu's eyes bulging out, Emperor Cheng suddenly let go of his hand and said tiredly: "You go, I don't want to see you again." ”
King Yu coughed dryly, he looked at Emperor Cheng's bun, Emperor Cheng, who was only twenty-seven years old, already had white hair, King Yu's hand trembled and stretched out to Emperor Cheng's hair, hiding the white hair in the black hair, and his voice was a little sad: "How could I not know the emperor's wishes, how could I not know that Lan Guang is our mother-killing enemy, I just stood on the outside and looked at it more clearly than the emperor, if the emperor really killed Lan Guang, would Xue Yi still live alone?" How can the spirit of Mama Gong rest in heaven? Your Majesty, it doesn't matter if you complain about your brother or brother, but don't be blinded by hatred, it's too late to regret making a big mistake. ”
Emperor Cheng turned around abruptly, stared at King Yu with scarlet eyes, and said fiercely, "What qualifications do you have to say that I am blinded by hatred?!" I will never forget the appearance of my mother hanging on the beams of the house, and I will never forget the embroidered shoes of my mother hanging in the air and shaking! At that time, I was only eight years old, and you, only five years old, by the will of my father, I went to Fengwu Country to be a proton, do you know the life of a proton? You don't know! In winter, I lay in a thatched hut with ventilation on all sides, poorly clothed and hungry, and had no medicine to eat when I was sick....... It was Mama Gong who used her own body to change my medicine, clothes, and a bowl of porridge......."
Emperor Cheng raised his head and closed his eyes, wanting to swallow the tears in the corners of his eyes, but two lines of tears stubbornly slipped down the corners of his eyes.
King Yu didn't know how to comfort Emperor Cheng, who was immersed in painful memories.
After calming down a little, Emperor Cheng turned his back to King Yu and said: "You go, go back to your fiefdom, I don't hate you, in this world, after all, only you are my relatives, and you will not hurt my relatives." ”
"What is the imperial brother going to do with her?" King Yu knew that he shouldn't ask Xue Yi about it anymore, but he didn't hold back after all, Xue Yi was innocent, to put it bluntly, she was nothing more than a pawn of Lan Guang.
Emperor Cheng did not answer King Yu.
King Yu continued unwillingly: "Brother Huang, Xue Yi is innocent, and Brother Lan Guang believes what Prime Minister Lan Guang said in the dungeon, he really helped Brother Huang ascend to the throne. ”
Emperor Cheng also believed Lan Guang's words, although he didn't know why Lan Guang did it.
The two brothers stood in the spring sunset, silent, for the same Xueyi who wanted to love but couldn't love.
In the Chenhui Garden, Xue Yi had already changed into the princess's costume, standing under the begonia tree, her jade hand fell on the buds that had just revealed the size of a needle, and slowly looked up at the sky outside the palace wall.
Liu Nong quietly put on a big hat for her, and stood behind Xue Yi with a stomach full of questions.
"The temple has no plan to calm down, and the sweet spring shines on the sunset peak. At first, the monster heard the war horse, but did you know that the poor sea saw the flying dragon. The lonely minister has 3,000 feet of frost hair, and the fireworks weigh 10,000 per year. A little like Changsha to the Yan Pavilion, the tired soldiers dare to offend the dog and sheep front. Tears were in his eyes, and he was swallowed alive.
Liu Nong didn't understand poetry and songs, but she saw that something was wrong in Xue Yi's expression, and she called in a low voice: "Niangniang, the wind is blowing, let's go back to the house, right?" ”
Xue Yi nodded and ordered: "Liu Nong, you go and call the cold frost, and then go to the small kitchen to prepare the emperor's favorite scarlet sheep head and Tuan Luan Hehuan." ”
"Today is Concubine Xiu's birthday, I'm afraid the emperor won't be able to come to our palace, right?" Liu Nong reminded Xue Yi.
Concubine Xiu's birthday is not Leng Yushang's birthday, how can the emperor take it to heart, even if it is, I am afraid that today's emperor does not have the heart to comfort the thorn in his heart, he should be questioning King Yu now, and King Yu should also tell the emperor everything he knows, fortunately, fortunately, my father has escaped from the palace safely and escaped from the capital.
Xue Yi was confident that Emperor Cheng would not kill her.
"Just go and prepare, maybe the emperor will come to Chenhui Garden to sit for a while." Xue Yi motioned for Liu Nong to go down.
Liu Nong agreed to go down, and Xue reluctantly glanced at the blue sky again, turned around and went back to the dormitory.
She was waiting for Cold Frost, she always felt that there was a pair of hands pulling her out of this palace, and these hands had an inseparable relationship with Cold Frost.
The cold frost didn't come, and the emperor came as expected.
After the dishes were arranged, Xue Yi sent all the palace maids, including Liu Nong, to sit alone on the embroidery pier.
As Xue Yi expected, Emperor Cheng entered Chenhui Garden, and there was no guard of honor and no attendant to follow, and one person came in constant service.
Xue Yi did not greet the holy driver as usual, sitting on the embroidered pier, holding a pot in her jade hand, and pouring two glasses of wine.
"Xue'er has been waiting for a long time." Emperor Cheng sat across from him, and a slight smile appeared on his grim face.
