Chapter Seventy-Five: The Princess's Loneliness
On the arched bridge in the back garden of the palace, Princess Heze stood leaning on the railing, looking at the water in a daze. It was already dusk, and the weather was gradually getting cooler, but she didn't have any intention of leaving, just stayed quietly alone.
Liyan had already noticed Heze's departure, but after waiting for a long time, she didn't come back, so she also went out to wander around the back garden, no, she was really in the back garden, standing there alone, not as a princess's arrogance, nor as a legendary intelligent possession, just a thin woman, thinking about her heart safely.
Li Yan hesitated for a long time, and finally mustered up the courage to walk up: "Why did Princess Heze come here alone?" ”
He Ze turned his head and found that it was Liyan, smiled in surprise, and quickly retracted the thoughts that had drifted away just now, her eyes were a little dodgy, and the kiss from Liyan appeared in her mind a few days ago, which immediately made her blush. She pretended to be calm and tried to say calmly: "It's too stuffy inside, I'll come out to breathe, Prince Liyan, are you?" ”
"I also came out to breathe, just together." After Li Yan finished speaking, he walked to Heze's side and lay on the railing of the small bridge like her.
Heze looked at Liyan with strange eyes, and she didn't seem to be able to accept his actions.
"What's wrong? Why do you look at me like that? Liyan asked.
"You...... Don't you hate me? He Ze lowered his head and muttered: "I am the murderer who framed Luo Sheng, although I didn't know that she was Princess Qingyi at the time......"
Her voice was small, her head bowed, and she bit her lip, wanting to hear the answer, but she was afraid to hear it.
Liyan's heart was a little heartbroken by her pitiful heartache, could it be that the sadness she was here just now was because she felt that she would dislike her and hate her because of this? She was able to admit so calmly that she was the murderer who framed Qingyi, including in front of him, if Qingyi hadn't told him that she was the murderer, maybe even he himself would have misunderstood Heze for the rest of his life. She carried the black pot for others but never defended herself, and let Twilight slap her in the face, she would only silently admit this reality......
"How could I not like you?" Li Yan's tone was gentle and soft, and at this moment he felt that he was holding a soft, fragile, pure, and flawless delicate heart in his hand, and the heart would be shattered with a little force. "What the hell is going on, others don't know, can I still not know? It's none of your business. ”
Heze's eyes widened, she stared at Liyan, the look in her eyes began to turn from cloudy to sunny, her tense face began to gradually relax, Liyan was even more distressed, could it be that her opinion of her was so important to her?
"As long as you can forgive me, fine." Heze said firmly, there seemed to be a few tears in her eyes, and she was still holding back.
Liyan's blood was boiling, and his heart seemed to have knocked over the five-flavor bottle, I don't know why, he didn't think it was too important to Heze, who was usually gentle and perfect, but at this moment, her loss and her fatigue could mobilize all his emotions. At this moment, how much he wants to tell her, if you have grievances, you can tell me, how much he wants to tell her, I know that the real murderer is Qingyi, and you just carried the black pot to save her, I know all this, how much he wants to say to her, if you care about my feelings and what I think of you, then you can come to me directly to explain clearly, instead of being sad in the bottom of your heart by yourself...... He had so many things he wanted to say to her, but for a moment all the words were blocked in his throat, and he couldn't say a word.
And in what capacity will he say these words to her? I'm just a prince of a different race who only has a few sides with her, and the prince and the princess intersect, what they care about is etiquette, and some things that compound their own identity should be said, and if they don't meet their identity, they shouldn't be said.
"Thank you for your hard work......" Liyan searched all the words, but only found these few words.
Heze was amused by his words, it seemed that he had said some funny joke, and at this moment her smile was like a blooming daisy, completely from the heart. The sourness in Liyan's heart is also a little less, if he can make her laugh like this every day when he speaks, then he is willing to be a fool and tell stupid jokes every day.
Heze is indeed the first time to hear others tell her the word hard, she has been the pearl of her parents since she was a child, and the heaviest thing she has ever taken is probably just a blank piece of paper, and the heaviest weight she has ever borne is probably the clothes she wears, and all her things are naturally taken care of by a large number of people, she is hard? From what? If a princess is hard, then the whole world will indeed laugh off her big teeth.
However, if she doesn't work hard, won't she be tired? Although he has been liberated physically, he does bear several times the burden of being mentally and mentally stronger than ordinary people. First of all, you have to learn the art of attacking the mind and strive to protect yourself, second, you have to train yourself well to get the favor of your father and queen mother, and third, you can't be pampered and proud that you don't know who you are, you have to take care of your own *own duty, you can't be tempted by anything casually, so managing yourself is actually not much easier than letting her do manual work.
However, people like to judge a person's contribution by the amount of his actions, and ignore his invincibility in the spiritual world.
"What's the hard work? Isn't it all my life? Heze said.
"Actually, you don't have to bear Twilight's slaps, does it still hurt?" Li Yan was still distressed, remembering the few slap prints on Heze's fair skin that had been pumped by Twilight Snow yesterday morning, his heart tugged, more uncomfortable than being slapped by someone. "Twilight is her own person, you can explain it to her, although she is arrogant, but she is very reasonable."
"It doesn't hurt for a long time" Heze replied, the clouds were light and the wind was light, it seemed that the person who was beaten by the twilight snow yesterday had nothing to do with her at all: "Why should I explain to her?" If she hadn't beaten me, I probably wouldn't have thought of going to my father and queen mother to complain. ”
What the? Li Yan was shocked again, originally he just thought that in order to save Qingyi, the emperor and the queen mother would take out the matter of Heze beating Qingyi before, and use this as an excuse to redeem Qingyi's life with Heze's reputation. However, it was not, did she come up with it to sue her father and queen mother, or did she run away willingly? So she directed and acted by herself from beginning to end of this scene? Oh my God, I just thought she was carrying an unspeakable black cauldron, however, it was she who sacrificed herself in exchange for Qingyi's life...... The woman in front of him made him awe-inspired, this spirit of self-sacrifice, none of them could compare to her.
"Why?" Li Yan frowned, it stands to reason that she doesn't know Qingyi's true identity, and she doesn't have any friendship with Qingyi, why would she make such a big sacrifice for her?
Why? Heze lowered her head, she was also taken aback when she heard that Liang Sheng was taken away by Xiao Yu, but after so many years of palace life, she had already been accustomed to everyone sweeping the snow in front of the door, but this time it was different, she would always unconsciously think about how anxious Li Yan should be now, he was chased by Li Yan to Qinhua Palace for questioning when he was looking for trouble with Wei Sheng, and now that Han Sheng is facing the danger of being beheaded at any time, how anxious should he be? She told herself how to leave Yan many times and what to do with her, but in her heart she just couldn't rest assured.
It happened that Ye Ling Han went to find her at that time, and it could be seen that Ye Ling Han really liked Yang Sheng, and after Han Sheng was arrested, he immediately rushed back from the Northern Desert and became much haggard overnight. When Ye Linghan told her the true identity of Xuan Sheng, her first reaction was to stay away from this matter, the farther away the better. But Liyan's face came to mind again, although Ye Linghan was not the person she loved, but after so many years of habit, she had already regarded him as her future husband, and she did kill Luo Sheng for her selfishness some time ago, and she was indeed ashamed of her, no matter from which point of view, she had no reason to stand idly by.
Assassinating the prince is a big crime, how can it be so easy to overturn the case from Xiao Yu's hands without a good enough reason? So Ye Linghan went to destroy all the evidence that could prove that Yu Sheng was the murderer that he had missed before, and Heze stabilized the situation in the palace on the one hand, and she could only come up with this way to lose her soldiers and protect her pawns, let out the words, and let others whisper that all this is Heze's frame-up, in a place like the harem, good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles, and there are always some ears staring at you all the time, trying to find out what big sin is from you, and isn't this matter right? In response to those people's wishes, they will definitely hype up this love triangle, and then make her vicious words angry, and finally stand in the team of Wei Sheng and accuse her together, what she wants is this effect, everyone will focus on this princess who is like a saint of the Nine Heavens has done such a dirty thing, and no one will pay attention to the poor woman in prison whether she has killed someone or not.
However, Twilight only accelerated the development of events, and when she heard the rumors, she immediately ran to question her angrily, and it was she who forced Twilight to attack her, because at that time she just thought that if Twilight Xue beat her, then she could justifiably tell her father and mother about this "true" rumor, if they can understand their good intentions, then, Luo Sheng will still be saved, Princess Qingyi will still be saved, the Northern Desert will still be saved, and Chang'an and the Xiongnu will never be enemies......
However, the price of doing so is that she will be hated by everyone, but what can others do if they hate her? The main thing is what Liyan thinks......
"There's no why, that's the way things are, I just framed her." Heze said, but there was a smile on his face.
Li Yan didn't ask more questions after all, but he made a note in his heart that he would definitely be good to this girl in the future, because if he misunderstood her, she would never explain a word for herself......
