Chapter Seventy-One: The Heart of the Gentleman
When Gonggong Wu, the great eunuch of the Internal Affairs Office, received a silver ingot handed by Han Yan, his eyes widened in shock, "Auntie...... Auntie is saying that tonight, the concubine is going to come to bed? ”
Hanyan frowned unhappily, glanced at him and said, "This is still fake, there is no need to turn over the emperor today, you have to remember it in the "Living Note". ”
Gonggong Wu was shocked, hurriedly stuffed the silver two back into his sleeve, and arched his hand, "Auntie, don't worry." ”
When he arrived at the gate of Mingde Palace, Cheng Dehai had been waiting there for a long time, and when he saw Gonggong Wu coming, he slapped him in the face, and reprimanded in a low voice, "What time did you come?" You want to be fired too, don't you? ”
Gonggong Wu covered half of his face that was reddened, and whispered, "Today...... It's ...... tonight It's the concubine who is coming...... That's why ......"
When Cheng Dehai heard this, he was taken aback, "Shen Guifei Niangniang? ”
"Where is there a second ...... in this palace" Before he finished speaking, Gonggong Wu slapped Cheng Dehai again on the right cheek, and he scolded angrily, "I want you to talk more." After that, Cheng Dehai glanced at Gonggong Wu, turned around and ordered, "You go in and tell the emperor that the miscellaneous family still has something to do." ”
Gonggong Wu should go with him. Cheng Dehai walked out of the main hall of Mingde Palace, and then went to Yilan Palace.
Although Zhong Yuxiu, the main seat in the Yilan Palace, was grounded, there were a lot of Yulu, and the prosperity of the entire hall was still the same, but there was a little less anger.
The little eunuch waiting at the door saw that Cheng Dehai was coming, and hurriedly made a way for him to pass. Cheng Dehai entered the hall and first greeted Zhong Yuxiu, bowed down and said, "The slave asks for peace to the little master of Xiuyi." ”
Although this is not the first time that she has been called the "Little Master of Cultivation", but when she heard this title at first glance, Zhong Yuxiu was still angry, she turned her head to look at Cheng Dehai, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, "What are you doing?" ”
Cheng Dehai arched his hand, smiled and said, "The slave is here to tell the little master a news, tonight, it is the concubine who sleeps with the emperor." ”
When Zhong Yuxiu heard this, she was immediately shocked, "The emperor turned over Shen Changan's brand? ”
"Not really." Cheng Dehai smiled and said humbly, "It was the concubine Niangniang who found someone in the respectful room and went to the emperor's palace by herself." ”
When Yuxiu heard this, she smiled coldly and said, "Bengong still thinks she is a calm person, I didn't expect to find the door by myself so soon......"
Cheng Dehai's heart moved, and he immediately said, "Little master, look, do we want to ......?"
"Do you want anything?" Yu Xiu interrupted him suddenly, with a faint anger on her face, "The emperor has grounded the palace in this place, what else can the palace do?" After finishing speaking, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a smile appeared on her face, "That's it, let her go to the emperor's bed, even if she regains her favor, the person she has to deal with is Song Yanji, the two tigers are fighting, and the palace only sits on the fisherman's profits." ”
Cheng Dehai smiled proudly and arched his hand, "The little master is wise." ”
Yuxiu raised her eyebrows coldly, but there was a smile on her face, "Go and find a way to tell the queen mother about this news." With that, she raised her face towards Lan Xiang, and Cheng Dehai's hand immediately had a heavy silver intingation, and he bowed his head with a smile, "The slave thanked the little master of Xiuyi." ”
At night, Shen Changan came to the Mingde Palace accompanied by evening incense.
The palace people in Mingde Palace heard early in the morning that it was the concubine Niangniang who was coming tonight, and they all hurriedly guarded the door of the palace and waited to see the concubine's beauty. When Cheng Dehai saw a group of them standing at the door, he immediately said angrily, "Are you all okay to do?" Is this the first time you've seen each other? They're all going their own way! Don't stand here as an eyesore! ”
Everyone was startled and hurriedly retreated to their posts.
Cheng Dehai stood at the moment, watching the bright yellow dragon carrying the concubine forward, hurriedly stepped forward, and bent his knees to greet him, "The concubine is safe." ”
Shen Changan wore a vermilion embroidered pomegranate skirt, dotted with blurred flowers. Wearing a red gauze inside, the golden phoenix is alive and ready to fly. Three thousand green silk like a waterfall straight down, set off by the side phoenix hairpin, confused and noble. The arm is covered with soft gold yarn, the silver wire is vague, the workmanship is fine, and it is unspeakably expensive. The eyebrows are slightly imprinted with peony imprints, a little powder, and the makeup is delicate and meticulous.
Although Shen Changan is a noble concubine, the appearance of this solemn dress tonight is something that everyone has never seen. Cheng Dehai bowed his body, only glanced at the corner of Chang'an's costume, and was already secretly shocked in his heart. Chang'an helped his men in the sedan chair and walked slowly on the long stone steps of Mingde Palace step by step. The sound of friction when the palace shoes touched the ground was extremely clear to Chang'an at this time. The red shadow is ethereal, and it is imprinted in the night of the Great Chu Palace, which adds a little solemnity and vicissitudes.
Chang'an walked into the hall, and Cheng Dehai closed the door behind her. Chu Luo turned his back to her and stood with his hands in his hands. He heard her come in, but he didn't turn to look at her.
Chang'an stood behind him, his face was terribly cold, but he still kept a deliberate distance in a respectful and gentle posture.
There has never been a moment more rusty than this one.
She also never thought that there would be such a day between her and Chu Luo.
There seemed to be a moment of silence, and he finally turned around and called her softly, "Chang'an." ”
With just this sentence, she was on the verge of crying, and the haze when she came was swept away. It seems that it was the same in the past, as long as he said a word, she would leave everything desperately to come to him, just because he was Chu Luo, the fanatical love of his youth. That relationship was vented in Chang'an's heart, and it couldn't be stopped for a long time.
However, the scenes that Leng Que Palace saw reminded her all the time that feelings were her weakness and would push her to the abyss from which she could never recover.
So there was a moment of silence, and she suddenly spoke in a deep voice.
"The concubine is here." When these three short words burst out of Chang'an's mouth, he felt that his words were cold.
Chu Luo seemed to be a little annoyed, stepped forward and grabbed her snow-white wrist, and said angrily, "Don't talk to me like that." ”
"Then according to the emperor's wishes, what should the concubine say?" Chang'an raised his eyes and looked at him, leaving no room for anything. She looked at him like this, and suddenly, a layer of tears appeared in her eyes.
His eyes were so deep, just like the gaze he had looked at her many years ago, as if everything had changed, only his eyes had not changed at this moment. As long as she looked at him like this, she felt that he was still Chu Luo, or the original Chu Luo.
Looking at each other, Chang'an was stunned and burst into tears, she turned her face away, and said indifferently, "Chu Luo, you once swore to the sky, saying that you would not fail me in this life, this is just a nice word, to make me happy, right?" ”
She pulled Chu Luo's hand away, it was actually easy, he didn't use any strength, and she sneered coldly, "But I actually believed it." I believe that there will really be eternal love in this world, I believe that even if you become an emperor and have three thousand beauties in the harem, you will only be good to me alone, but after all, I am wrong, I am wrong......"
Chang'an couldn't hold back the pain in his heart anymore, and tears slid down his cheeks line by line.
Watching her cry, his heart was also like a colic.
He thought that she had let go, he thought that he had found a Song Yanji who was more docile and loved him more than Chang'an, and he could let her go all. But the moment he heard that she was coming to Mingde Palace, his heart still trembled.
Shen Changan is the woman he carved in his bones, he can give up all the things in this world, but he can't let go of her.
Chu Luo's hand exerted force, and he took her into his arms. He felt her shoulders tremble slightly, and his heart ached.
Chang'an was embraced by Chu Luo, but he didn't have the strength to refute, and suddenly, she felt warm tears dripping on his cheeks. She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly her heart throbbed.
He wept, he wept.
The man doesn't flick when he has tears, she has rarely seen Chu Luo cry, how can she be willing to let him cry? As soon as the corners of his eyes moistened, she was about to cry in distress.
She raised her hand and wiped the tears from his face, and her voice was so deep that she seemed to have forgotten what she had said before, "You don't want to shed tears anymore." She wiped Chu Luo's tears while the tears on her face became more and more.
Chu Luo held her hand with his backhand, his expression was gentle and firm and irresistible, "Chang'an, don't you go, okay......"
The tone, which was almost pleading, made her unable to refuse for the rest of her life.
Her smile was sweet, and she smiled and cried, "Chu Luo, do you know, sometimes I really hate it, I hate why you are the emperor, why there are so many women, but I can't wait for it, the road is my own choice, I persuaded you to enter the palace, I brought you to this position, I have no reason to blame you, you are like this, it is always my fault......"
Her voice was dry and came into his ears, and he was also heartbroken, and he hugged her, as he had comforted her hundreds of times, "I don't blame you, Chang'an, it's all my mistake." ”
Chang'an closed his eyes for a moment, smiling sourly and sadly, "I thought that if I lost my brother and lost my child, I would never feel that kind of pain again." So I thought I had a kind of temperament that could give you up to others, so I didn't care if Zhong Yuxiu was pregnant. But when I saw you and Song Yanji together, I was really afraid, I was afraid of everything, I was afraid of losing you, I was afraid of losing everything around me, I was afraid that I would live in a place like Leng Que Palace one day......"
At this moment, there is infinite pity, densely condensed in Chu Luo's heart, she has been to Leng Que Palace, she knows that there is such a place, she must be afraid. He hugged her tightly and said firmly, "Chang'an, as long as I reign for a day, I will protect you for a day, unless I die, no one will hurt you." ”
With the protection of his words, she suddenly felt much more at ease.
But who else can hurt me but you?
Thinking like this, she didn't say anything.
Chu Luo hugged her in his arms, and suddenly felt her shoulders tremble slightly. He suddenly collapsed, he owed her too much, and he couldn't pay it back in this life.
Love is not easy, but it is even more difficult not to love.
Although Yan Ji is good, she has never been her.
But he understood that he was the emperor, and his status did not allow him to have only one wife by his side. She is independent and willful, and all he can do is protect her well, that's all.
In this life, I never ask for too much, and when I meet you, I am already old.
