Chapter 716: Repeated Patience
If he deviates to the advantage of the tide, he will feel like a fool; But if he deviates to the disadvantage of Yunxi, he feels that he is too ruthless and unbearable.
But when you think about it, in the face of such a succession of conclusive evidence, he still insists on putting himself in a neutral position, isn't he already a fool?
was watched by the emperor like this, Rong Yunxi still stood quietly with a calm face, not defending Zhiqiu, not defending himself, and not asking the emperor anything. At this time, her heart was stretched. Because she had already seen the emperor's hesitation, she already knew that the reason why the emperor said that to Zhiqiu just now was just to scare and scare Zhiqiu, but she wanted to see her reaction through this scare.
The truth of this matter is not certain in the emperor's heart. It's better not to be sure than not to believe her at all. In the face of these strong evidences, the emperor still can't affirm her guilt, doesn't this explain the problem? Doesn't that show that he trusts her?
I want him to be able to say with certainty in front of these evidences, "Bullshit!" I only believe in my own queen, these evidences are all fake, that is, someone is framing Yunxi! "That's a real embarrassment. After all, trust does not equal stupidity. The emperor has never been a stupid person.
Thinking about it in the best way, even if the emperor's trust in her can reach this point, the emperor's confidence in himself cannot reach this level.
So the current situation is already very gratifying to her...... Even if the results may still be unsatisfactory.
When it was quiet in the house, suddenly, there was a sound of fluttering wings in front of the windowsill. It was a white dove that landed on the windowsill.
"Goo-goo...... "The white dove walked up and down on the windowsill outside, and had no intention of leaving.......
"Where did the white dove come from in the palace?" The emperor was surprised and ordered, "Lao Li, come in." β
"Yes." Li Zhonggui replied and hurriedly went out to catch pigeons.
I thought I would waste some strength and walked over cautiously...... But it was easy to catch the pigeon. It seems that this pigeon did not want to escape at all, it is really a carrier pigeon. Looking through the light of the oil lamp in the house, I saw a paper roll tied to the white dove's leg.
Li Zhonggui grabbed the carrier pigeon with both hands and took the carrier pigeon into the house, and the emperor looked at the thing on his lap at a glance. Just do it yourself and untie the things tied to the pigeon's legs. It's a note, and the handwriting on the note is familiar......
"This game will be over, remember, do not rush everything, be cautious, be cautious. Siqing misses Qing, waiting for reunion. β
He recognized this handwriting, it was the second brother's handwriting.
The emperor's eyes, which were still exploring, cooled down a little...... Soon, his eyes were completely cold, and there was no hesitation to explore.
"I don't want to know what the second brother said?" The emperor's voice was cold and piercing, freezing so cold that Rong Yunxi was excited.
She had never heard such a tone.
Rong Yunxi slowly raised his head and looked at him calmly: "I don't understand what Your Majesty is talking about. β
The emperor stared at Rong Yunxi with heavy eyes, gritting his teeth fiercely, as if he was trying his best to restrain a certain emotion...... What he was restraining himself couldn't tell for a moment. All he knew was that he couldn't look too embarrassed.
Fake ...... Fake ...... It turned out that everything was fake, and it was all a game set up by her.
She knows this situation, and her second brother also knows it...... The two of them are the people in the same boat, and the two of them have one heart, and they work together to fool him as a fool!
Everything is fake...... From the very beginning, he was in the game...... The encounter in front of the Prince's Mansion, the tear in the lady's shop, the debate in Cining Palace, the words of the contract, the helpless marriage, the entanglement and resistance, and the sincerity and ...... It's all fake, it's all fake!
From beginning to end, he was just a pawn for her to avenge her mother! From beginning to end, the people in her heart are all second brothers!
He doesn't mind being her pawn, he doesn't mind being calculated by her, and even, at this moment, he is still looking forward to it in his heart, as long as she is willing, he will let her calculate for the rest of her life, which is good. At least that way, she would be able to stay by his side for the rest of her life.
But she didn't even give him such a opportunity. She had already discussed it with her second brother, and when the matter was over, they would leave. The second brother is still looking forward to the reunion over there!
When the matter is over, their long-separated hard-working mandarin ducks can fly together, and he, the chess piece, the outsider, can only stay in this deep palace wall and be lonely after all. In those days with her beloved lover, will she think of him?
I'm afraid you don't want to, right? After all, she paid too much for this game, and even put her own body in. In the days after this game ended, he would be a shame she would never want to talk about again for the rest of her life. In order to live well for the rest of her life, she will forget him forever......
The emperor just looked at Rong Yunxi quietly, and gradually, the coldness in his eyes turned into a ...... little by little Sorrow bordering on begging.
He didn't want her to get away from him, he didn't want to.
He also wanted to see her again, and he wanted to see her gentle and peaceful smile for the rest of his long life, when he was always upset and irritable; I also want to be able to hold her soft and delicate body in every tiring and difficult night......
He really can't live without her.
So...... He didn't dare to find out.
No matter whether the emperor is intimidating, exploring or ruthless, Rong Yunxi's eyes are always as calm as a waveless lake. But at this time, when he saw his sad look, Rong Yunxi's calm eyes fluctuated suddenly...... That's distressing.
She was most afraid to see him like this.
In fact, she was afraid of any of his mood swings caused by her, as long as it wasn't a joke. She was afraid of his calculations, of his cruelty, of his tiredness...... But what he is most afraid of is his forbearance and compromise.
"Your Majesty......" Rong Yunxi called the emperor lightly, stepped forward, squatted down to look at him, and said in a low voice: "Why did you suddenly mention King Ling again?" Since it is about Concubine Bo, it is only related to the palace, and what do you mention that irrelevant person does? Is it just because of this pigeon that doesn't know where it came from? β
Rong Yunxi's eyes fell on the pigeon in Li Zhonggui's hand, which was grabbed by others without making a noise, and it was a carrier pigeon at first glance. But how can this be the carrier pigeon of King Ling? Is there any connection between herself and King Ling, isn't she clear herself?
The problem, of course, is not in the pigeon itself, but in what it bringsβthe note that the emperor clutches tightly in his hand.
Why did the emperor look at it and say that it was from King Ling? It must have something to do with handwriting.
But she was really sure that King Ling couldn't send a message to her. Even if there is really something urgent, it is impossible to send the letter to the palace so that it will not be so confused.
The note was tightly held in the emperor's hand, Rong Yunxi's hand covered the emperor's hand, and he tried to take the note out of his hand, and said softly: "I really want to see what is written on it, how did it make Your Majesty suddenly think of King Ling?" Could it be that he wrote a poem about a flesh and blood brother? β
The emperor's hand was still clenched tightly, and he didn't intend to show the note to Rong Yunxi. The light in her eyes still only fell on her face...... He didn't know what he was thinking, and no one could tell what was going on in his slightly empty eyes.
However, such a seemingly ignorant person suddenly got up without warning, turned and walked away to the oil lamp under the window.
Rong Yunxi didn't know what the emperor was going to do, so he got up and looked at him in surprise...... But I saw that the emperor took off the oil lampshade, threw the note that he was holding tightly in his hand, and burned it.
The note fell into the fire, and the fire on the lampstand instantly became larger, and gradually, as the note burned out, the flame on the lampstand returned to its original state. The emperor just watched it burn quietly, and calmly put the lampshade back on. After standing quietly in front of the window for a long time, he turned around and commanded lightly: "Today's business is over...... passed it to Concubine Bo and asked her not to mention it again. If anyone in the palace dares to mention it, Ling Chi. β
The latter words were obviously said to Li Zhonggui.
The result is ...... It should be what Rong Yunxi wants to see the most. Originally, the best result she thought of was that he believed in her unconditionally and decided the matter without asking the cause or the consequences. But why, when this best result really appeared, her heart was so uncomfortable......
It was as if something had rushed to my heart, and it was only a primer away from it that would burst out. When it broke out, everyone was happy. But the emperor's words forcibly cut off this introduction, and the thoughts in her heart and the thoughts in the emperor's heart could only continue to be suppressed.
She suddenly understood why the same result brought such different feelings......
This result at this time is not because of his unconditional belief, but because of his unconditional tolerance.
He didn't believe her, but in order to be able to continue to have her, he was willing to endure it.
But she didn't want him to put up with it.
She is his wife, her heart, her person, has long belonged to him, everything she has is his, what else does he dare not question? She wanted him to know that she couldn't scold or run away.
She wanted him to know that she stayed with him only because she loved him and her heart belonged to him, not because of his tolerance.
It is undeniable that he is really admirable to be able to do this part. She admired him from the bottom of her heart, loved him more because of it, and her heart was eaten to death by him because of this. But this love is for two people, and he can't always take it for granted, and there are some things they must say clearly.
"What did Your Majesty do when you burned it?" After making up his mind for a long time, Rong Yunxi chased him out and called the emperor who had already walked to the front yard.
"It's burned, I'm even more speechless......" Rong Yunxi took a deep breath and walked in front of the emperor, "Let's make it clear." I know what you think at this time, do you think that I have been in contact with the second brother with the help of carrier pigeons, and you will inevitably find out, and the second brother's letters are all transmitted to the early summer and Zhiqiu, and then they will give it to me secretly, right? β
The emperor frowned violently and raised his eyes, looking at Rong Yunxi, his eyes locked on her fiercely......
Even if he retreated to this part, she still didn't want to hide it from him anymore, she didn't have the patience to continue, she wanted a showdown, didn't she?
"Listen...... I won't give you a showdown. That's the end of today's business. The emperor almost squeezed out these words from between his teeth, and then gently pushed her away and strode away.
Rong Yunxi's mouth moved, and before the words came out, he heard a shout from the front yard: "The Queen Mother is here...... Is Your Majesty and Mother available? β
Why did the Queen Mother come at this time? It can't be a coincidence! Where can Rong Yunxi be entangled with the emperor anymore about the affairs between husband and wife, he can only deal with the crisis in front of him first......
