Chapter 45: Heart-to-heart
In the thatched pavilion, King Fuling and Jiang Qi were talking about their dreams of crisscrossing the rivers and lakes when they were young.
“…… Walking through thousands of mountains and rivers, enjoying the strange peaks and strange scenes, running wildly with swords, riding the world, even if it is stormy and stormy, I will not flinch, I want to sing on the vast snow-capped mountains, and I want to call the wolves to roar, this is called the happiness of life, not in vain......"
I can vaguely imagine how high-spirited the young man who first came out of Eagle Eagle Mountain back then.
"It seems that you have missed the opportunity to become a generation of heroes." She was infected, and she was in good spirits.
"Yes, if I walked the rivers and lakes, I would have met you a long time ago."
"Not necessarily!"
King Fuling looked at her seriously: "If I really met you at the beginning of Eagle Eagle Mountain seven years ago, even if you hate me anymore, I will chase you to the ends of the earth." ”
Hehe, this sounds too familiar, as if Xiao Xuan relied on this trick to impress his mother. But how long can a man's sincerity last?
"You can re-enter the rivers and lakes now."
"There is still one person who joins hands with Hongchen. If you are willing, I will abandon all glory and wealth now, and only love you from now on. ”
"Huh." She chuckled, "Flim tongue." ”
"That's the truth. If you want, let's elope now. His intentions seem to be clear, but it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
"It's just right to leave, who wants to elope with you! No face, no skin. ”
"Yes, you have to hire three media and six people, and then go after worshipping heaven and earth." The king of Fuling has to make inches.
"If you want to marry, it depends on whether I accept it or not. Poor mouth, guilty of seven out, don't! ”
Jiang Qi said that the king of Fuling was choked, and she laughed happily. After a while, she gradually stopped laughing and said in a very low voice: "When my mother was young, she wanted to find someone to spend her life with. It's a pity that things don't go as people want. ”
He knew that he had touched her sadness, and from Xiao Zhaoyi's unintentional and coincidental message, from his speculation and listening, he probably guessed it. To this day, is she willing to confide in him and share with him the pain behind it?
"Ling Tang caused a sensation in the whole Dawei back then, if she wanted someone to work hand in hand, how could she not ask for it?" I couldn't help but ask questions that I had been asking for a long time.
Twenty years ago, the strange woman, whose father still couldn't track down, how could she be so incompetent and end up in such an unspeakable end? He wouldn't have believed it if he hadn't heard her confirm it with his own ears. Today, what man dares not to be respectful.
"He doesn't know the identity of my mother, he just thinks it's an ordinary woman."
A person who is not deeply involved in the world, even if he is brilliant, it is difficult to see people's hearts. A long-established love field, experienced by wealthy methods, where can you not get your hands on it?
They are not evenly matched emotionally at all, so her mother will fall into it.
"Lingtang has excellent martial arts, few opponents, and his temperament should be extremely strong, why was he bullied by a dull man to this point?"
"No matter how high the martial arts are, it's just an infatuated person, before him, his mother didn't know what the love between men and women was, only once, ruined for life. Besides, when his mother met him, he was not without true feelings, and his mother naturally couldn't see that the man's so-called sincerity was just a momentary obsession. ”
She began to talk calmly about her parents, with a love-hate entanglement, but in the flick of her fingers. Hearing the sigh of King Fuling, she remained silent.
"I've heard you talk about Lingtang many times, but I've never seen you sad, aren't you really sad?" When it comes to her mother, how can she be so unwavering and invisible.
"I've been sad for a long time, and my heart has been broken for a long time. Ten years ago, when my mother died in front of me, I went crazy. Maybe my heart died earlier, from the time when that person threatened my mother and wanted to kill us, I saw through it, the so-called husband and wife, the so-called sincerity, the so-called love, but that's it. At that time, I understood the evil of people's hearts, and how affectionate men in the world are, and they are not worthy of being treated sincerely......" She told the story of watching others with a cold eye, which was so calm that it made people's hearts frighten.
In addition to the shock of the king of Fuling, there is also regret. She shouldn't have been so sad and disappointed in people's hearts, she shouldn't have said things that saw through the hearts of the world.
If it weren't for the breakup of her parents, her biological father killing flesh and blood, and her biological mother dying in front of her, she would have been as delicate and favored as Wen Yue and the county lord of Yishui.
"Jiang Qi, not all men in the world are affectionate, there are always people who are worth entrusting their lives......"
Jiang Qi stopped his enlightenment: "I didn't give up eating because of choking, and I didn't dislike the men in the world from now on, you don't have to preach to me." ”
King Fuling was a little surprised, he was afraid that she would be defensive against all men, obviously he didn't know her well enough.
"Ten years ago, how old were you?"
"Seven years old."
"Later, how did you get good after you went crazy?"
"Enough madness, enough injuries, there is no way out, people can only live. In order to live, nothing else matters. ”
Why does her every word always make people feel distressed. What kind of experience has made her become like a stagnant tree over the years? Will there come a day when he will see her take off all her guards and rely on her husband like a normal woman?
He asked, "Why didn't you take revenge then?" Your grandfather was a prince and was extremely powerful, and even if he lived in seclusion later, he should not let his daughter be bullied. ”
"When my mother was very young, my grandmother died, and my grandfather went with her. My mother herself lacked the love of her parents when she was young, and after she was sensible, she longed for the love of her grandparents who lived and died, so she looked forward to the lover of her life for a lifetime, so that she was confused by the bad people. ”
"What about the others, no one avenges you?"
"My mother doesn't let others take revenge, she wants me to avenge her with my own hands, and she told me not to follow in her footsteps. Therefore, when she died, I swore on the Seser River that ten years later, I would personally torture them with my own hands, and life would be better than death. ”
She showed a very faint smile, but the meaning of the smile was shocking.
He was touched in his heart, they were both frustrated people at the end of the world, and their circumstances were so similar.
"If my mother hadn't married my father, I would probably marry a noble son like other officials and nobles, with children and grandchildren, and a lifetime of noisy and noisy life. If I hadn't been born in the royal family, I would have liked to marry an ordinary woman and live my life with my eyebrows raised. ”
His biological mother, the deposed queen of Emperor Qingli, came from the Hou Lin family of Wuning. After his daughter became a country, Marquis Wu Ning and his son held the positions of General Sima and Hussar General, and became the first powerful minister of Dawei after King Ding and King Jing went into seclusion.
Empress Lin had been infertile for many years, and finally gave birth to a son after Emperor Qingli ascended the throne. The Lin family is eagerly looking forward to the newborn son becoming the crown prince of Dawei in order to fulfill the dream of the Lin family's hundreds of years of wealth. So the court and the harem worked together to exert force on the emperor, in order to achieve what he wanted, but he didn't know that the knife was on his neck.
At the time of the full moon of the prince, the Lin family entered the palace to celebrate, but was swept away by the long-dormant Emperor Qingli, executed on the spot, and then raided the family and exterminated the clan.
Seeing the blood of her relatives and the collapse of her family, Queen Lin was raised a knife by her husband who had loved her for many years, thrown into the cold palace, and hanged herself that night......
It turns out that many people have hidden pain that cannot be revealed, and they are burdened with an unshirkable mission. Jiang Qi wants revenge, why shouldn't he.
Jiang Qi looked at him, looking at his deep eyebrows and hidden gaze, his hatred was engraved into the bone marrow, but it was hidden very deeply.
Are they of the same kind?
No, he is determined to be powerful, and she is only happy for herself.
"What are you thinking?" Seeing that she was silent for a long time, King Fuling wanted to know what she was thinking.
Her gaze stopped on the branches attached to the thin snow, and the salted snow had turned into catkins and flying snow, which made her miss the goose feathers and snow in the north.
"Next year, let's go to Boguo to see the rime?"
This was the first time she took the initiative, and King Fuling was overjoyed, they still had a future.
"You invited me?"
"Hmm. As long as you want. She nodded.
"I heard about the Boguo rime, the wonder of the world, but I didn't have a chance to see it. You have been invited, and the king has agreed. The joy in his heart was enough to melt this cold and snowy world.
Jiushu waited for a day in Muyi Villa, he sat on the bent rocking chair where Jiang Qi often sits, holding Ahri in his arms, motionless and watching the window change from the snowy day to the dark night, the jumping heart cooled inch by inch, and there was no temperature.
Jiang Yi carried a footstool, sat down next to him, and comforted him: "Don't worry, my aunt is coming back soon." ”
"I'm not in a hurry."
"Don't be afraid, with me with you, let's wait for my aunt to come back."
The childish words of the little child warmed his heart, and a smile appeared on the face of the Nine Techniques Porcelain White Jade: "How old are you?" ”
"Six."
"When I first met your aunt, she was seven years old, a little older than you. We have lived together in Eagle Eagle Mountain for five years, Master infusion qi through the meridians for her every day, she is too young to withstand the internal force in her body, she has been in pain, either she doesn't speak, or she goes crazy and yells, either scratching herself or biting others......"
It was a memory that belonged to them, and no one could snatch it away.
"Your aunt loves to bite, look, she bites here."
He held out his wrist and showed the imprint. Although he was getting older, Jiang Yi still saw a few scars of different colors.
"Does it hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt." At a young age, I felt sorry for him as an adult. Jiushu laughed at himself sadly.
"Why did my aunt bite you? She's in too much pain. ”
She had been refusing to stay in Eagle Eagle Mountain, and had been trying to escape, but the way down the mountain was blocked. So she always hides in the cliff in the back mountain, trying to climb down the cliff secretly. But every time it didn't work, she was annoyed that I stopped her every time, so she bit me. ”
Jiang Yi said firmly: "Auntie doesn't like others, but Auntie likes you." ”
"You're only six years old, and you don't know what you like." The matter between them is not worth embarrassing a child. "She didn't like to talk before, but I didn't expect that one day, she would talk so much that she couldn't finish talking to others......"
It's a pity that the person is not him.
Jiang Yi shut up and said no more. The snowflakes outside the window seem to be absent, and they are illuminated by the hazy candlelight, which makes it even more unreal. The dinner hour had long passed, and his stomach was rumbling, but he still accompanied Jiushu and did not leave.
This child's silent and introverted temperament is very similar to when he was a child.
"I'll take you as an apprentice. As the apprentice of the master and apprentice of the hidden country, he will have a place in Dawei in the future. ”
Jiang Yi understands this truth.
"I listen to my aunt."
"Your aunt will agree."
