Chapter 13: What a Price He Paid
Yan Ruoyun looked at Shi Chongli, his eyes were a little dazed. In the past, I only thought that Shi Chongqi was an elm pimple, and he couldn't even laugh. Now I finally saw him smile, but I never thought that he was so good-looking.
She has always liked men with good colors, but now she couldn't help but look at it for a while.
Shi Chongqi was also frank, let her see, used chopsticks to clip the fish meat for her, and carefully picked out all the thorns in it, and then spoke: "If you like it, you will have time to watch it slowly in the future." Now, eat something first, so you don't go hungry. ”
"Where do I like it, you are good-looking, just look at it twice."
Yan Ruoyun coughed lightly, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and began to eat. The soup is what she likes, light but not too bland. There is also fish, and even the spines have been picked.
In the past, Chong Li was good to her, but she was not as meticulous as she is now.
Yan Ruoyun liked it in his heart, but the weird feeling in his heart was even stronger because of it.
"I'll just come by myself, you are so meticulous to me, if you let the future Princess Jing know, it's not good."
"Later, I'll talk about it later...... A few days ago, Fuzhong just changed the chef, and the taste is not as good as before, what do you think? If you don't like it, let someone send a few cooks into the house tomorrow. ”
Shi Chongli's expression was the same, and he didn't seem to care about this. Everything that should be said has been said, but if it is awkward, it seems too hypocritical, and if it is ruyun, it will not say more.
The medicine for Yan Ruoyun's leg injury has been decocted, and Yan Ruoyun used the decoction, so he asked people to wait for him to wash, planning to rest early.
thought that the two had been honest with each other, and naturally they would not get along like a real couple again.
Who knows, after Yan Ruoyun washed up, Shi Chongli had no intention of leaving.
"Why don't you leave, you still have something to say to me?"
"Why are you leaving?"
Shi Chongyu had already finished washing, and now he was dressed in single clothes, looking at Yan Ruoyun's expression as if he was puzzled.
"You and I are not really husband and wife, and it seems inappropriate to be under the same roof."
"You want to sleep in separate rooms? I don't have anything, it's just that you forgot, you are now the third lady of the Taiwei Mansion, if it is rumored that you and I are not in harmony, you will be fine in the Jingwang Mansion, but the third lady of the Taiwei Mansion, Ye Rushi is afraid that it will not be very easy. Moreover, if you and I sleep in separate rooms, we can still dispel Shi Jingchen's vigilance against me. ”
"Huh? Why? ”
Ye Rushi could understand what she said, but Shi Jingchen, she didn't understand.
"You also know that after you died, I set fire to the princess's mansion and killed the people who had bullied you. If Shi Jingchen was really involved, then he would be to blame. During this time, he was on my guard. If, at this time, I have a beloved woman, or even faintly have the intention of retreating to the court, his wariness of me will be reduced. At that time, it will be much easier for you and me to do anything. ”
What Shi Chongli said was not unreasonable, Yan Ruoyun couldn't think of a reason to refuse, so he could only nod in a daze: "That's still like yesterday, you sleep in bed, I sleep well." ”
"No, I'll sleep on the ground and you will sleep in the bed."
Shi Chongli had already retreated, and while talking, he also set up a bunk next to the bed.
Yan Ruoyun also lay down on the bed, and he could sleep peacefully yesterday. But today, I don't feel sleepy after tossing and turning.
"Are you asleep?"
"No, what's wrong? Does your leg hurt? ”
Shi Chongli replied quickly, and at an angle that Yan Ruoyun couldn't see, his eyes kept staring at Yan Ruoyun's back and never left.
Yan Ruoyun didn't know anything about this, and was silent for a while before speaking again: "You haven't told me why I came back to life again." What exactly did you do? ”
There are too many fogs lingering in Yan Ruoyun's heart, but there are too many questions to ask, and this is the only one that I want to know the most now.
This time, Shi Chongli was silent.
There was silence in the room, except for the occasional sound of the wind and snow crashing on the doors and windows, and the light breathing of two people.
Yan Ruoyun was waiting for Shi Chongyu's answer, but after waiting, sleepiness gradually came.
"After you died, Shi Jingchen did not bury your body, but stored it in the palace with ice to keep your body from decaying. We do everything we can to bring you back to life...... Later, I had to meet a high monk...... The monk once said that you would come back, but as for the rest, he didn't say much. If it weren't for my luck this time, I'm afraid I wouldn't know you came back to life until now. ”
I don't know how long it took before Shi Chongli spoke. But he only said a rough idea, and he didn't say the way that the monk could bring Yan Ruoyun back to life.
The two have known each other for so many years, how could Yan Ruoyun not understand his deliberate concealment.
If this world can bring people back to life casually, then won't everything be messed up?
What a price did Shi Chongli pay to give her a chance to live again.
