Chapter 118: Illusory Wishes

"Don't worry, I will not let you regret it, I will definitely take good care of her, protect her, and will not let her be hurt in any way, and even if you don't say so, I will do it. It's just that I don't understand one thing, can you answer me? ”

Nangong Hanmo nodded, his expression was also full of seriousness.

Hearing this, Zhang Rui let go of Nangong Hanmo's clothes, sat down again, and said, "Ask me whatever you want!" I promise to be as knowledgeable as you are. Because now I have nothing to hide. ”

"I want to ask you, why did such a smart person as you pretend to be crazy and stupid for so many years?"

Nangong Hanmo has always been curious about this question, and now he finally has the opportunity to ask it,

Hearing this, Zhang Rui smiled and told him truthfully: "Because when I was young, my mother met a Taoist priest, and the Taoist priest told my mother that there would be a catastrophe when I was eighteen years old, and if you want to avoid this end, you must pretend to be crazy and stupid."

Although Zhang Rui didn't know why, he still did it when he saw his mother so serious, and he had seen all the warmth and coldness of human feelings after pretending to be stupid for so many years, and finally understood what human nature was.

Before Pei Yuehua appeared, his world had always been gloomy, and what he was waiting for was to be able to find a way to crack it before my calamity came.

But now it seems that there is always nothing you can do, because it is a blessing or a curse that cannot be avoided, and it is not called fate that you can avoid so easily.

"You're right, if you can be dodged, it's not fate." Nangong Hanmo smiled and said.

Just like Nangong Hanmo is in the emperor's house, there are many things that are involuntary, sometimes even marriage, but he can guarantee that he will not marry anyone except Yuehua, because he always loves Pei Yuehua alone.

Without Pei Yuehua's words, he would rather die.

"Although you and I are opposites, I still hope that you can get better, because then I can still compete with you fairly, and I find it very boring to have such a relationship for nothing." Nangong Hanmo glanced at Zhang Rui and said sincerely.

Although he knew that what he said was false, because Zhang Rui could not live past five days, and no one could overturn the imperial doctor's diagnosis, but he really liked this kid more and more.

Because, this kid's wisdom is enough to compete with him, not to mention that the two of them are also in love with the same woman.

It's just that if Zhang Rui died so soon, then why did Luo Yang let himself be careful of Zhang Rui, no matter what, he couldn't be right with a dead man, right!

No, it should be said that you can't go against someone who is about to die. And he can't make people think that the dignified Four Princes are such an unkind bastard.

"I also want to be able to compete with you, but I'm afraid I won't have that chance." Zhang Rui said helplessly.

Zhang Rui heard the conversation between Nangong Hanmo and his father, and also heard the words of the imperial doctor, he knew that he was dying, and he knew that he would not live for five days at most.

It is precisely because he knows everything that he has become so open-minded, after all, everyone has to die, it's just a matter of dying late and dying early, even so, there is nothing to be afraid of.

From the moment he pretended to be crazy and stupid, he knew that he was destined to go this way.

Because he can't have his own wisdom, he can't have his own love, even if he is bullied by others, he can only endure.

It's really hard, it's hard.

Over the years, he has finally found someone to tell his truth, before Pei Yuehua is now Nangong Hanmo.

Although Zhang Rui still doesn't like this Nangong Hanmo now, and feels that he can't compare to himself at all, but he is the person Pei Yuehua likes, and he finally has to admit that in fact, he has already lost when he first met Nangong Hanmo.

And he is destined to lose completely, although he doesn't know what his calamity is, but his intuition tells him that his calamity has something to do with Pei Yuehua.

But he never regretted meeting Pei Yuehua, because she gave him the happiest time, if he hadn't had that time, he would now be just a puppet who can't see the light of day, locked in his room all day long.

Unable to do anything, he did not regret that time of sneaking away, nor of that time of the trap, even though he made his illness worse.

But he didn't hate Pei Yuehua, and it was precisely because of Pei Yuehua that his life became much more meaningful, although this meaning could not be maintained for too long, but he still had no regrets.

"I know, because I can understand your feelings, although I don't have to pretend to be crazy and stupid, but I was born in an imperial family, and there are many things that must be disguised, and this disguise usually makes me feel that this life is not meaningful." Nangong Hanmo frowned and said.

Nangong Hanmo once said to a person that if his life could only be like this, then he would rather not have this kind of life, he would rather just be an ordinary person, even if he would be poor, but at least he has freedom.

At that time, he could do whatever he wanted, without looking at anyone's face or succumbing to anyone.

He's fed up with this disguise, he's fed up with this hypocritical world, he wants liberation, he wants a real liberation.

It's really hard to disguise like this, even if you don't like this person anymore, you have to pretend to be happy when facing him, he has lived in such a hypocritical environment since he was a child, so he got such a character.

And he would rather not have this kind of character, he would rather show his attitude very directly, he doesn't like anyone he wants, he hates whoever he wants, and it has always been his dream to be able to go straight.

But now, it can only become his most illusory wish.

Because it is impossible to do this in the palace, and he himself knows this, so he feels that life has lost its meaning, and every day is the same life, which makes him feel extremely boring.

Like Zhang Rui, it wasn't until he met Pei Yuehua that he felt that there was a little bit of starlight in his life, and he felt that it was quite meaningful to live.

And he also hates his status as the fourth prince, although sometimes this identity allows him to do a lot of things, and even protect the people he likes.

But sometimes because of this identity, he is destined to lose his favorite person, just like Ning Guifei predicted.
