Chapter 10 Tears of the Pear Blossom in the Deep Courtyard
Back at the academy, Ran Ying thought about the things of the day, her heart was numb, she went back to her room and picked up a book, and threw it down again if she couldn't read two lines.
The day was too long for her. Baqiao, Ziqing; Puyuan, a mysterious and powerful person, many pictures are floating in my mind, and I can't grasp it at all.
In the end, there was only one thought left: Ziqing had been given marriage by the emperor, so the story of her and Ziqing would come to an end.
Like the pear blossoms at the end of spring, the curtain has ended.
While she was thinking wildly, someone under the window suddenly whispered her name: "Ah Ying!" Ah Ying! ”
It's Ziqing! How did he get here?
Ran Ying pushed open the window and saw Ziqing standing under the window, looking up at her eagerly.
As soon as I saw him, an unspeakable depression and sadness came up. She frowned and was about to close the window, but Ziqing stretched out her hand to block it and said, "Ah Ying! I sneaked out of the house, please listen to me! ”
Ran Ying turned her face away from him, but her hand was released.
Ziqing said: "I, Ah Gan, have already agreed to our marriage. Is it suddenly out of nowhere...... His Majesty suddenly issued an edict to give marriage, and my Agan was also caught off guard. But I've already told Ah Gan again today, I don't want to marry Li, I'm going to marry Ah Ying! ”
Ran Ying felt a pain in her heart. Unexpectedly, Ziqing, who has always been quiet and a little cowardly, rebelled against his brother whom he had always respected, and even wanted to rebel against the Supreme. She looked at Ziqing, her handsome face was shining under the moon, extremely disproportionate, and on her left cheek, there was a clear palm print.
A pear petal fell from the tree and floated onto Ziqing's hair. Seeing this, Ran Ying reached out to pick up the petals, and asked softly, "What did you say?" ”
Ziqing stammered suddenly: "My brother is ...... He...... He'll agree to it someday......"
Ran Ying said in a low voice: "He lost his temper, said you were messing around, and beat you, didn't he?" ”
Ziqing lowered her head, her thin shoulders swaying slightly.
"You're a fool of yourself. It was a marriage given by the Supreme, and now that the brides have arrived in Chang'an, how can you resign? How dare you agree? Let Li Yangjun go back to Lingzhou alone? His family is in front of the palace, will the Yu family raise their heads in Chang'an in the future? ”
Ziqing raised her head violently, her clear eyes were full of panic: "Ah Ying, I don't care about this!" I don't want this marriage! I am not afraid of them, and neither should you! You give me some more time. I went to my brother and my mother...... I really can't do it, I will go to see His Majesty in person and beg him to withdraw the edict and annul this marriage! I went to Lingzhou to plead guilty to the Li family, and let them beat and scold me, just ask them to agree to withdraw from the marriage! As long as I can get out of the marriage, I am willing to do whatever I want......" The more he spoke, the more anxious he became, the more desperate he became, until he could no longer speak.
"Ziqing." Ran Ying looked at him and said in a low voice, "This matter can't be forced anymore." We...... Let's forget it. ”
Ziqing looked at her sadly, and tears welled up: "How can we forget it? Ah Ying, you don't want me anymore? I, Agan have already agreed to our marriage...... Ah Ying, I just want to be your husband! I can only be your husband in this life...... If I can't be with you, I will never be able to live happily in this life......"
He did his best. He Agan had agreed. The one who can be married is the Supreme.
Ran Ying looked at his ink-stained eyes, extremely sad and ruthless: "But the Supreme thinks that the Li family is a better choice for you." ”
"Supreme? How does the Supreme know this? He is just ......" Ziqing spoke incoherently, like a trapped beast surrounded on all sides, anxious and desperate, trying to find a way out.
"Ziqing, calm down! You can only marry Lee, you have no choice! Ran Ying's tears suddenly welled up. He already knew this outcome, and he still fought the trapped beast. But he was just a white boy and couldn't do anything.
Ran Ying's heart hurts.
Ziqing suddenly grabbed her hand and said, "Ah Ying, let's run away together!" We fled to the south, we went to Jiankang, we fled far away, and they couldn't find us! I don't want anything, I just want Ah Ying! ”
A pool of gentle spring water slowly rippled in Ran Ying's heart. This gentle and affectionate young man was willing to give up his family family for her, and was willing to disobey the holy decree for her. At this moment, she was extremely moved and extremely painful.
She wanted to run away with him desperately this night, and the two fled to the ends of the earth hand in hand. But Ziqing's background was originally a smooth road to the sky, how could she be reduced to the lower class because of her. What's more, he didn't even think about what they would do after they escaped. He hadn't seen this scene of troubled times, Ran Ying came all the way from Jinyang to Chang'an, but he saw too much!
She withdrew her hand lightly and said, "Go home." ”
Ziqing looked at her stunned, and two lines of tears rolled down. He looked up to the sky and was speechless, silent for a long time, stretched out his hand and buried his face deeply, and cried: "Ah Ying! I'm useless! ”
Ran Ying looked at his gloomy and desperate face, and only felt that the little thought that was left in her heart had dissipated like a puff of smoke. She and Ziqing are destined to be hopeless in this life.
After a while, Ziqing raised her face, wiped a handful of tears, was silent for a long time, and said, "That person this afternoon...... Did you know that he is the most dangerous man in the world...... Ah Ying, no matter what, don't choose him ......"
Ran Ying's hand unconsciously tightened the window frame.
Two lines of tears ran down the boy's cheeks. In the moonlight, the tears sparkled. The young man's heart is as pure as the moonlight, but it is also as weak as the moonlight.
He choked up: "Ah Ying, promise me, from now on, it's okay for you to fall in love with anyone, but don't be with him......"
Ran Ying's heart ached sharply, and tears couldn't help but rush, she reached out and closed the window tightly in a panic.
Since it's no longer possible, why bother? Why bother with whom she goes all the way from now on?
She pressed her forehead against the window, clutching her aching heart, suppressing herself from crying.
She heard Ziqing sobbing under the window. After a long time, she heard Ziqing's footsteps leaving. The voice was depressed and haggard, stepping on the shattered moonlight.
When the footsteps were completely inaudible, Ran Ying reopened the window. Outside the window, there were only a few pear trees fluttering in the moonlight, with snow-white petals. She was stunned, she had never felt that the scenery of pear blossoms blowing snow was so bleak and speechless, and the young man who played the piano under the tree would never come back.
She looked at the empty courtyard, only to feel that her eyes were sour, and she was about to close the window, but she saw a delicate concentric pendant hanging on the window.
She reached out and took off the jade pendant, clinging to her heart, the pain surging like a monstrous wave. She has had many fantasies, and she hopes that in her life, there is still such a possibility, when she places the jade seal of the country, when everything settles, she can stay with her gentle and kind Yu Lang for the rest of her life.
But he's gone, and he'll be someone else's husband next month. Since then, she has nothing to do with him.
Ran Ying lay quietly on the pillow, only to feel that her cheeks were getting wet, and the warm tears were cold, and they gradually became cold.
At this time, Yu Wentai was in the secret room in the house, and heard the secret report from his henchmen, and in the afternoon, Yu Ziqing returned to the house and Yu Jin made a fuss about dissolving the marriage contract, which made Yu Jin very annoyed, and heard that he also beat him.
Yu Wentai was a little helpless. Even though He Louqi had already revealed his identity to Ziqing that day, he still went home to make trouble regardless of it, and he couldn't wait to make trouble in front of the palace. Young man, most of them are brave and powerless, and they feel that love is greater than the sky, as long as they are moved by emotion, they can turn things around, steal the sun and the moon, and even the mountains and rivers will be moved.
They don't understand, their love, in this world, can't even exchange a bowl of corn.
Monaro retreated, walked a few steps in the courtyard, bypassed the verandah, and ran into He Louqi. When He Louqi saw him, he was a little surprised and asked, "Why are you here at this time?" ”
Monalo said: "There is an urgent report that I am in a hurry to inform Shang Shuling, so I can only come at night. ”
When He Louqi heard that it was an urgent report, he was a little nervous, and asked, "But what is the movement in the palace?" ”
Since the emperor moved west, he thought that compared with Gao Huan, Yuwentai was easy to control. originally planned to continue to be his worry-free emperor in Chang'an, but he didn't expect Yuwentai to monopolize military and political power, but he was not an opponent at all, so he had been plotting to get rid of him. I heard that he once shouted in the palace with a sword after drinking: "Sooner or later, I will use this sword to kill Yuwentai!" ”
They also know that Yuwentai has been unable to trigger it, and he is looking for opportunities. The contradiction between him and the emperor has long been a mountain rain that is about to come and the wind is full of buildings.
Monaro shook his head: "It's Ran's business." And he told the story again.
He and He Louqi were the leaders of the Twelve Iron Guards, the most trusted people of Yuwentai. Therefore, they never hide information from each other, so that they can judge the situation as quickly as possible.
He Louqi listened and said, "Don't you think Shang Shuling's attitude towards the Ran clan is a little strange? He didn't want to pass on the jade seal of the country, as long as he killed the Ran clan directly, this secret would be buried forever. But he didn't do it, and he was sideways. It's really not like the way he does things now. ”
Monalo smiled: "You are with him at most on weekdays, why can't you see it?" Shang Shuling is interested in Ran. ”
He Louqi was a little surprised. That seems to be the case. But when did Shang Shuling start to be interested in the Ran family? He and Ran had only met three or four times in total, once by the Qingsong Academy, once in the carriage of the market, once in Xiaotiandi, and the last time in Puyuan. Then how can the Ran family make Shang Shuling like it?
Monalo said, "That's a good thing." It has been six or seven years since Da Xi's clan, and Shang Shuling is getting older now, but he has not mentioned the matter of marrying a wife, and it is not a way to go on like this. ”
He Louqi snorted: "The Ran family has no father, no mother, no family, no land under no tile on Chang'an, Shang Shuling wants to marry a wife, and it will not be her turn." Being a concubine by Shang Shuling's side promoted her. ”
Mo Nalou was about to say something, but he heard Yu Wentai's voice suddenly come from behind him: "What are you talking about here?" ”
The two of them were so frightened that they immediately fell silent, and did not dare to say a word more.
Yu Wentai stood in the courtyard, dressed in black color and full of murderous aura. He heard the two of them talking, so he was angry. He never wanted to hear anyone mention the Daxi.
"Get out." He said lightly.
As if they had been pardoned, they hurriedly anointed the soles of their feet with oil.
