Chapter 18 Heaven and Earth Are Furnaces of Charcoal
"What are you going to do?" The pain in his body was almost stiff, and he said coldly.
Because of the pain, cold sweat quickly gushed out on his forehead, and one by one he slid down, but his expression was still so casual, and his eyes were calm and leisurely, as if his body had nothing to do with him: "It's not your nature to be rough, Huan Yuan, don't lose your demeanor." ”
Huan Yuan's expressionless gaze paused for a moment before he slowly let go of his hand. He sat back in his original position, picked up the wine jug in front of him, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "The princess knows about the plot between me and Jiang Yan, is it you who is secret?" Although Jiang Yan abandoned him, he still wanted to see him again, but he was stopped by the guards at the door and restricted his movements.
He wasn't free to move before, but he wasn't as confined indoors as he was, and it was clear that the guards had been given special orders.
Rong Zhi chuckled and said, "You underestimate the princess too much, the disposition on the table today was thought up by the princess." The **** had a secret conversation with Jiang Yan, and after the princess pretended to leave, she went and returned, and even I didn't take precautions, and then the princess decided to send Jiang Yan out of the house. "But the guard who stopped Huan Yuan was ordered by him, although Huan Yuan had failed, he still didn't give up, and wanted to arouse Jiang Yan's guilt by sending him off, so that he could act in the future, but Rong Zhi didn't give him this opportunity.
Huan Yuan was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Rongzhi, things have come to this point, it doesn't matter what I do, I sincerely ask you, are you really willing to be by the princess's side?" ”
Rong Zhi smiled and did not answer.
Huan Yuan said in a low voice: "Although you have never been in the limelight except for helping the princess manage the affairs of the inner garden on weekdays, but I think that the talent you have shown is not as good as what you have, you are an unborn character, and when you go outside, it is enough to call for wind and rain to influence the world, are you really willing to stay in this princess's mansion and be the face of an arrogant woman's play?" His voice was low and deep in the dark air, "Are you really willing?" "He has been in the princess's mansion for two years, and he has known Rong Zhi for two years, and he has never really seen through Rong Zhi for such a long time. At first, I thought he was gentle and deceitful, but then I gradually realized how unfathomable this seemingly harmless teenager was.
Rong Zhi still smiled and did not answer.
Looking at him for a while, Huan Yuan's expression was relieved, and he suddenly smiled: "You are unwilling, otherwise why don't you dare to answer me?" You can't honestly say you're willing. "His appearance was extremely gentle and handsome, and his expression was relaxed, as if a large white petal had been opened in the dark, and a depressed and ethereal beauty floated in the cleanliness.
After Huan Yuan said this, Rong Zhi reacted, he stretched out his hand, slowly poured himself a glass of wine, poured it very full, until the wine was almost out of the glass, he put down the wine jug, and said softly: "Huan Yuan, don't forget, today you can live safely, who gave it, you are the son of a sinner, if it wasn't for the princess trying to save you, you would have died under the knife, not only are you not grateful to her, but you are thinking about rebellion and ingratitude, did the ancestors of the Huan family teach future generations like this?" ”
Huan Yuan said: "It is undeniable that she saved me and blessed me, but her rescue was purely selfish, she hid me as a forbidden belly, and died in this princess's mansion, but I don't want to." He said this in a very calm tone, this is a kind of resolute that has been fully understood, his eyebrows and eyes are slender and sparse, and the brilliance in his eyes is like a slight glow on the jade, which looks soft, but in fact it is extremely tough, "As for the ancestors of the Huan family...... Wasn't it destroyed at the hands of her Liu family? ”
The once glorious scholars, many years ago, even had an unenforceable glory on their clothes, and now they are buried in the unknown loess, and he has nothing to say in this troubled world.
But......
"I don't want to." He said firmly.
Although he has been reduced to this, he is unwilling to let him be a woman's play object.
He will never commit suicide in order to achieve innocence, survival is the greatest gift in the world, giving up life is a coward's behavior, once there was a male pet in the house who committed suicide by throwing himself into the lake because he did not want to be humiliated, looking at his cold corpse, although Huan Yuan sighed, but there was no trace of admiration.
Life is hard to die and death is easy, and he chooses the difficult path.
"I don't want to." Rong Zhi laughed softly, "Good ambition, good style." But Huan Yuan, you don't have a choice. ”
He picked up the wine glass and looked at the clear blue liquid, which spilled a little because of his movements, and sprinkled it on his snow-white clothes, revealing a small green stain: "You just said that I am unwilling, you are not me, how can you know my thoughts?" ”
Seeing that Rong Zhi got up to leave, Huan Yuan knew that he couldn't convince him today, so he sighed and said: "It's okay, you are willing, but I am unwilling, even if I fail this time, as long as I live, I will not give up." Even if you are unfortunate enough to die, it is better than to endure the torment here. ”
Rong Zhi smiled and walked slowly towards the outside of the house, and when he reached the door, his footsteps paused: "Torment? He asked Huan Yuan rhetorically, "Do you think that staying here is a kind of torment for you?" ”
Huan Yuan sneered: "Should I think this is a great favor?" ”
After a while, Huan Yuan seemed to hear a vague sentence from outside the house, as if there was, but it seemed to be an illusion generated by him in a trance, the voice was so faint, as if it had existed since the beginning of the ancient flood:
"Heaven and earth are furnaces, and all living beings in the world are not suffering."
************
After Rong Zhi left, Chu Yu lingered in the apricot blossom forest for a while, and then planned to go back, passing by the junction of the East Upper Pavilion and the West Upper Pavilion, and saw Jiang Yan and the other five young men who had just been given a way out walking towards the outer mansion, Chu Yu nodded at them and staggered past them.
There is no concern and no turning back, out of this door, they will be strangers in the future, in fact, for Chu Yu, these people are originally strangers, and there is nothing to be reluctant to.
From then on, it will be forever. Chu Yu thought so, the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, and he didn't look back.
They have not seen each other since. Almost at the same time, Jiang Yan, who was thinking like this, couldn't help but glance back, what he had thought about day and night before was nothing more than to leave this ghost place earlier, but when he was able to leave, he had some confusion.
The woman's back was free and free, without the high ground of the past, and it was as strange as if it was the first time I saw it.
