Chapter Twenty-Eight: Difficult to Choose
Beiliuyun stood in front of the woman, as if he had to come up with an answer, those glass-colored eyes, a little transparent and endured excitement, it is not difficult to see the stubbornness.
"What answer would you like to hear?" Chu Luoyi looked him straight in the eye.
Beiliuyun clenched his fists, his thin lips pursed slightly, but he was also a little confused, looking at the woman's indifferent cheeks, he couldn't speak for a while, and he didn't know what kind of answer he wanted to hear.
The sunlight was shining through the window, the dust in the air was clearly visible, everything became as unreal as a dream, and the two looked at each other, silent, shadows falling on them, so that they blurred each other's faces.
Chu Luoyi saw that he was silent, did not stalemate with him anymore, got up, and said indifferently: "You and I are just a relationship of mutual use, if one day, you have no use value for me, you are worthless, and the same, I hope you are the same." ”
Chu Luoyi didn't pay attention to him anymore, but walked into the kitchen, looking at the melting snow outside the window, she thought, it's another bright day, maybe she can change her accommodation.
Beiliuyun just stood in place, as if a nail had been nailed under his feet, and gradually, he squatted on the ground, clutching his chest, only to feel that his heart was like being pricked by a needle, and it gradually began to spread from one point to another, so that it spread to his limbs and bones, and his whole body fell into a cold to the bone.
When Chu Luoyi came back again, Bei Liuyun was already sitting at the table, watching her every move and couldn't take her eyes off.
When Chu Luoyi's gaze finally fell on him, Bei Liuyun suddenly spoke: "How can it be of use to you?" ”
Chu Luoyi held the white porridge in his hand, and the hot porridge was steaming hot and sprinkled on the white fingers, and it was red in an instant.
Beiliuyun frowned, pulled the woman's wrist, looked at the red and swollen fingers, and the ghost sent it to his mouth.
The soft tongue touched the slender fingers, and both of them were stunned, Chu Luoyi was about to speak, but Beiliuyun had already gotten up: "I'll go find you medicine." ”
There was only a silver thread in the air.
Chu Luoyi curled up his fingers slightly, looking at the back of the man rummaging through the cabinets, and lost his mind for a long time.
After finding the little wound medicine left, Beiliuyun carefully sprinkled the wound medicine on her red and swollen fingers, and then wrapped it in a cotton cloth that she found out of nowhere.
She looked at his long eyelashes, casting two shadows on his face, covering his gaze, but she could still feel his caution, wearing a plain robe, wearing it on his body, but inexplicably with a bit of enchanting extravagance, so good-looking that people couldn't take their eyes off.
After bandaging, Chu Luoyi withdrew his hand, also restrained his gaze, picked up the chopsticks and said lightly: "Be a master, be the emperor of Beiyan, and be the master of the world." ”
Beiliuyun was stunned for a moment, looking at the woman in front of him and losing his mind, but Chu Luoyi had already continued to eat.
After eating, the two went to Shanghe Palace together and waited on Wang Zhi's way.
After waiting for a long time in the wind and snow, Wang Zhi's sedan chair slowly arrived, hugging before and after, about more than ten people, really worthy of the title of the first eunuch in Northern Yan, and his style was comparable to that of the emperor.
Chu Luoyi said lightly: "Wang Zhi thinks very highly of himself and is ruthless, but this is an opportunity to turn over, don't miss it." ”
Beiliuyun's eyes were bright, he bowed slightly, and he didn't speak again.
Dressed in a jujube red and black gold silk robe, a white jade tiger head and a gold belt, two black eyebrows flew obliquely into the bun, and the eye sockets were sunken.
Chu Luoyi and Bei Liuyun walked out, blocked the way, knelt in front of Wang Zhi and said, "See the prince." ”
The little eunuch in front of Wang Zhi looked at Wang Zhi's face unchanged, stepped forward and said, "Who are you?" ”
Bei Liuyun opened his mouth and said: "The slave Bei Liuyun has admired his father-in-law's name for a long time, and he is here to ask to see him today. ”
"Oh? North Stream? Wang Zhi lifted his eyelids, looked Beiliuyun's outfit up and down, and the little eunuch on the side whispered something in his ear, Wang Zhi raised his eyebrows, and a deep meaning flashed in his eyes.
"Beiliu, this is the royal surname, you are a royal person, how can you kneel for our family?" Wang Zhi looked arrogant, but he didn't mean to get off the sedan chair at all.
"The father-in-law is high and powerful, and how many people from the royal family are enough to compete? If it weren't for the father-in-law who was in front of the saddle and behind the saddle of Beiyan, and worked hard for political affairs, where would there be the prosperity and peace of Beiyan today, and the slaves knelt, so what's the matter? Beiliuyun lowered his eyes and said respectfully.
Wang Zhi smiled and said: "This world is Your Majesty's world, if your Majesty hears such words, won't it cost our family's life!" ”
Beiliuyun hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, but his words were firm: "There are slaves, no one wants to touch the father-in-law's hair, if someone wants to challenge the authority of the father-in-law, then go over the corpse of the slave first." ”
"Oh? You are not related to our family, why do you maintain our family like this, this is really incomprehensible to our family. Wang Zhi narrowed his eyes and said.
Beiliuyun continued: "The slave once lived in the Guanghan Courtyard, was humiliated by it, and almost died, but fortunately this palace maid took care of it, so that he could live to this day, and this palace maid was fortunate to be taken care of by Zhou Gonggong, so he could help the slave, and Zhou Gonggong thought that you were the head of the horse, so the slave was naturally able to survive and steal his life by your kindness, and he was the father-in-law before and after the saddle. ”
Beiliuyun's words fell, Wang Zhi's eyes swept over Chu Luoyi's body, and said to Beiliuyun: "Now it seems that your body is fine, presumably she has taken good care of you these days." ”
"The slave is grateful for her kindness, but she will never forget her father-in-law's great kindness."
"Well, it's a good drink to think of the source, in this case, from now on, you will work for our family. And this palace maid is indeed a hard worker, our family can not cross the river and tear down the bridge, in this case, on the merits of the reward, will give her to the Marquis of Kangding as a concubine, since then a lifetime of glory, food and clothing worry-free, what do you think? Wang Zhiyu said.
The Marquis of Kangding is handsome and romantic, but he is not young, more than forty, and he is in a high position, because he also likes beauty, and he is used to pleasing the Northern Yan Emperor, who is greedy for beauty, and is deeply respected.
It's just that in this imperial city, there is a secret that everyone knows, that is, the Marquis of Kangding likes to abuse and abuse, and every time those flower-like women are married to the door within two months, they are tortured to death in bed, and the death is miserable.
Yes, this seemingly glamorous Hou Mansion is a nightmare for all women.
"Huh? Why don't you speak, is it because you are dissatisfied with our family's arrangement? Wang Zhi stared at Beiliuyun condescendingly, waiting for his answer.
Chu Luoyi kept his eyes down and didn't speak, Beiliuyun hung his head and couldn't see his expression clearly, only the hand in his sleeve was clenched into a fist, and he couldn't pretend to be relaxed anymore.
Wang Zhi turned the Buddha bead in his hand and said quietly: "The Marquis of Kangding is good friends with our family, but recently he has been instigated by traitors, and has spoiled our family's good deeds several times, since this palace maid is your person, our family naturally believes it, and goes to the Marquis of Kangding's mansion, which can not only monitor his every move for our family, but also ensure the glory and wealth of this palace maid, this move can be described as both, if there is no objection, it will be decided?" ”
Beiliuyun endured it, he thought that he could be clever and wronged, he could grovel and be belittled, he could endure all the humiliation and put himself into the dust, but at this moment, he couldn't open his mouth and pushed her into the arms of others, even if he knew that he was nothing to her.
Wang Zhi's face was gloomy, and he seemed to be very displeased, these two people didn't speak, were they silently protesting?
Chu Luoyi was keenly aware of Wang Zhi's killing intent, and preemptively said: "Slave and maid, thank you for your father-in-law's great kindness." ”
Wang Zhi narrowed his eyes, looked at the two of them back and forth, pouted, turned a string of ebony Buddha beads in his hand, and finally said: "Since this is the case, then our family will notify the Marquis of Kangding to come to marry you in three days, and reward you with a thousand taels of silver and two sets of jewelry as a dowry." ”
"Thank you father-in-law for your great kindness, the slave and maid have lived up to her father-in-law's trust since she was the saddle of her father-in-law." Chu Luoyi opened her mouth lightly, as if the person who was about to jump into the fire pit was not her.
"What you should be grateful is His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have enjoyed this glory in your life." Wang Zhi sneered, and when the words fell, he had already left in a sedan chair, no longer looking at the two of them.
Beiliuyun knelt on the ground in a daze, his glass-colored eyes surging with a purple-red undercurrent, and looked at Chu Luoyi's gaze with forbearance: "Why did you agree?" ”
Chu Luoyi got up slowly, patted the snow on his knees, and said with a blank face: "Is it useful not to agree?" When did this kind of thing come to you and me, don't you really think he's asking for your opinion? ”
Beiliuyun knelt on the ground and couldn't stand for a long time.
The man slammed his fist on the ground, letting out a roar of pain, and the blood instantly spread, like a red plum blooming in the cold wind, swaying.
Chu Luoyi stood aside so quietly, the flying snow did not stain her face, the mud did not stain her skirt, looking at the grieving man kneeling on the ground, but like an outsider watching a play, he said lightly: "Why are you so embarrassed?" ”
Beiliuyun looked at the woman with a calm face with bloodshot eyes, she was like a snow-capped mountain that would not melt for thousands of years, allowing you to stir up thousands of waves, but you couldn't see her loosen in the slightest.
The man got up, walked to the woman in front of him, and said slowly, "Don't go." ”
Chu Luoyi looked at the man in front of him and slowly hooked the corners of his mouth: "Are you ordering me?" ”
Beiliuyun's eyes flashed with light and dark, looking at the calm and sarcastic smile of the woman in front of him, he only felt a dull pain in his heart, and pulled hard, bringing her whole person into his arms, and swept her lips fiercely.
Chu Luoyi didn't dodge, didn't dodge, quietly looked at the man in front of him, felt his soft lips and strong arms, and let him shield himself from the cold winter and the wind and frost in the sky.
The man clasped his waist tightly and let her lean against his arms, the cool and thin lips, but exuding a deadly temptation, making him want to rub her into his body, he didn't know what it was, but he instinctively picked up her fragrance.
