Chapter 107: The Final Chapter<上>
The repeatedly postponed Lichu ceremony was finally held, first in the Taimiao held the Lichu sealing ceremony, and then the parade, sacrificing to the sky, until the end of the ceremony. So far, Da Chu has a popular prince, and the people applaud and praise each other.
Xia Taozhi recovered from a serious illness, and at the end of the day, she was so tired that she even withdrew from the banquet halfway, returned to the dormitory, and fell asleep. When Peony and Begonia saw that she was asleep, they led the palace maids and attendants to retreat.
As soon as the door of the dormitory closed, the person who was still lying motionless on the bed just now turned over and got up, quickly took out his night clothes and changed them, and prepared to go out of the window with his baggage.
She wants to go, she has to go, she has to go, she has to go.
But as soon as one foot stepped on the windowsill, the voice of the peony begonia saluting came from the courtyard: "See His Royal Highness the Prince......
She was shocked, why did she come back so soon?
The tsundere prince's voice was a little nervous, and he asked, "What about the crown princess?" ”
Peony said: "Niang Niang fell asleep." ”
"Go in the palace and take a look, you guys retreat."
"Yes."
She had to go back to bed, pull the quilt down her neck, cover her night clothes, and close her eyes and pretend to be asleep.
As soon as he closed his eyes, the door of the temple opened, and a series of footsteps slowly paced to the bed, and then there was no movement. There was silence in the hall, Xia Taozhi was very worried in her heart, the more nervous she was, the more nervous she became, the more nervous she was, and the more her eyelashes fluttered.
Finally, with a "poof", the person in front of the bed laughed.
"Little Peach, your ability to pretend to sleep will always be so bad."
She opened her eyes angrily and looked at him coldly, "The ceremony has been completed, why is His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still coming to me?" Do I have any use value for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? ”
He choked, the smile on his lips gradually disappeared, turning into a bitter helplessness, and he directly reached out and lifted the quilt, and her night clothes were completely exposed.
"Sure enough, you're still going to ...... go"
was suddenly exposed, she simply sat up and replied fiercely: "Of course you have to go, why don't you go?" It's over between me and you! ”
As if he had expected her attitude, he lowered his head and said calmly: "What you said is not the end, I don't accept it." You and I are a real husband and wife, and I will be your husband for one day, and I will be for life. You said you want to end up with me, but I owe you a lot, let me make it up to you, okay? ”
Compensate? What compensation to get? Can she give her her lost child back? That child was a hurdle in her heart that she couldn't get over, and the pain that broke her heart when she thought about it was heartbreaking, and she could never forgive him.
"I don't want you to pay it back, you let me out of the palace, give me back my freedom, we have nothing to do with each other in the future, you can also find a new crown princess, with your identity as the prince of Eastern Chu, how many famous nobles in Chujing are flocking to me, why are you holding on to me?"
"But I just want you ......"
He sat down and tugged at her sleeve with a pitiful look, "...... Don't you want me? ”
She was dumbfounded for a moment, feeling that she couldn't say anything about him anyway, so she could only stare at him resentfully. But when I look closely, I always feel that something is wrong. The tsundere prince is still wearing the court clothes on the ceremony, which was made half a month ago, and now it looks wide and loose on his body, why did he lose so much at once?
Seeing that she didn't say anything, he had to hug her inch by inch, lean his head on her shoulder, and close his eyes as if he was very tired: "...... Is it okay to talk to your husband? It's been a long, long time since we've spoken properly......"
His body was very cold, his hands were very cold, she couldn't bear to push him away, so she could only say with a cold face: "I have nothing to say to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." ”
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, indifferent and detached, he really can't stand it, "...... How can you forgive me? ”
She asked rhetorically, "...... How will you let me go? ”
He hugged her a little tighter, he hadn't been so close to her in a long time, and he muttered a little greedily, "Don't let go, never let go......"
“…… What exactly do you want? ”
He straightened up and looked at her, and said seriously: "I want to marry you, I still owe you a wedding......"
When she mentioned this wedding, she felt that her heart was overflowing with shame. At that time, she really thought that he was in danger of going to Gyeongju, and she was afraid that he would be desperate in spite of the danger as before, so she had a round with him, so that he could have a trace of concern in his heart and want to come back to see her alive. Who knows, he already knows everything well, secretly deploys, and has already won the game, but he kept her in the dark and became his bait. If it hadn't been that night, she wouldn't have been pregnant, and if he hadn't used her as bait, she wouldn't have lost her child!
Now, he even dared to come and talk to her about marrying?!
She was so angry that her heart ached, and she pushed him hard, "You are dreaming! I won't marry you if I marry a pig or a dog! I...... I'm going to marry a big brother! ”
His body was weak, and he fell directly out of bed after being pushed, and sat on the ground staring at her, with an indescribable sadness in his eyes.
Later, every time she recalled this look, she felt that her heart was like a knife, this was his last wish, but she gave such a cruel answer. If she knew then that his days were numbered, how could she ......
But she just jumped out of bed and walked to the door without hesitation.
He sat down on the ground with a pale face, and his voice sounded a little urgent: "Where are you going?" I can't stand up......"
She didn't look back, and said angrily: "...... I'm going to find Big Brother! ”
Suddenly, the figure in front of her flashed, and the person who just said that she couldn't stand up flashed in front of her in an instant, such a fast body is rare in the world. She was so angry that she was about to push him again: "Didn't you say you couldn't stand up?" You're lying to me again! ”
His face was as pale as paper, and beads of sweat the size of beans were dripping down his forehead, but he seemed to be ruthless, hugged her tightly, and said fiercely: "Don't you think about it!" …… I won't let you go, absolutely not! You don't want to go to him! The thought of her marrying someone else made the colic in her heart worse than the seizure of the Seven Deaths, like a sharp knife cutting through her heart, and the pain was spicy.
Just forcibly used the internal force, and at this moment, the blood and qi in the body surged, and it was immediately poisonous.
He hugged her and said with difficulty: "...... Stay with me for another ten days, okay? Ten days later, I will let you go...... "Let you go to him, give you the freedom you want, let you live the life you want, even if it is the life I have thought of giving you, and I will accompany you through the life......
The cramping of his heart was stronger than ever, and his cold sweat was dripping down, and the blood in his mouth had already flowed down the corners of his mouth and fell onto her night clothes. She felt something strange and tried to push him away to investigate, but he held her so tightly that she couldn't even move.
Only his voice of pleading over and over echoed through the temple.
"Please...... Don't leave me...... Just stay with me for another ten days......"
*
That day, she finally agreed to him with a soft heart. Without his permission, it would be difficult for her to escape from the heavily guarded East Palace. Ten days later, no matter what he said or did, she was determined to go.
The tsundere prince came to see her every night, but he didn't enter the door anymore, and every time he came, he said a few words through the door and left. She wandered around the East Palace during the day, and she never met him. But I've met Little Mud a few times, and every time I'm depressed, and I'm absent-minded when I talk to him. Not only the little mud, but Gu Ziyi and Xue Cheng are also average, as if someone is going to die.
She thought it was very strange, so she went to ask Peony and Begonia, who knew that Peony and Begonia actually said that they hadn't seen them for a long time, which was even more strange, Gu Ziyi, a foreign minister, couldn't see it, Xiao Mud lived under the same roof all day long, and he had to go to the small kitchen every day to steal food, but he couldn't see it, which was a bit unreasonable.
What makes a foodie give up stealing?
She had a gut feeling that something was going on, and it was something to do with the Tsundere Prince. But after thinking about it, she will be leaving in a few days, what does it matter to her whether he is dead or alive?
But thinking about it this way, doing it is another matter.
"Peony, Master Gu has been in and out of the East Palace frequently recently, if you encounter it, ask about it...... What's unusual in this East Palace lately? Begonia, you too, find a way to get some words out of the little mud mouth. ”
Peony begonias responded. In less than half a day, the two came back, with the same look on their faces, and they were both a little annoyed.
"What's wrong?" She thought it was strange, but she just asked them to talk, as if they had come back from a fight.
Peony didn't speak, Begonia was an uncontrollable character, and said directly: "This little mud has grown up and its wings are hard!" Not only did he not tell me, but he even thought I was asking too many questions, and I was a bastard! I was so angry that I beat him up and told him not to come to my kitchen in the future! Hum! ”
Xia Taozhi: "......"
No need to ask, it's the same with Peony.
This is obviously to hide it from her, so she doesn't even tell the maid next to her, what kind of thing does it take so many people to hide from her? She has lived for more than ten years, and she has been kept in the dark for most of the time, and she is really fed up, so the more she doesn't let her know, the more she has to figure it out!
It was the ninth day, and tomorrow she was leaving, and she was determined to find out tonight.
It was night, the tsundere prince came, and tonight he didn't talk much, just asked a question he would ask every time he came.
"Will you marry me?"
She still couldn't, and he was silent. For a long time, when she thought he was gone, his staccato voice sounded outside the door again.
"So...... And I left...... Tomorrow...... It's the ten-day period...... I...... I'm not going to send you...... You...... You take good care of yourself in the future......"
There was a choking in the hoarseness, and her heart tightened. After a while, he called again.
"Ah Luo ......"
The devil sent God, and she answered him.
"Hmm."
"I love you."
Then, there was no more sound.
