Chapter 12: Weakness
In the blink of an eye, two days have passed, and tomorrow will be the day of the birthday ceremony.
Tang Ruyan reclined on the soft couch, closed her eyes and pretended to sleep, but her heart was like an ant on a hot pot, tomorrow is the best time, but she still found nothing, the room and study where she lived have been searched, and no favorable clues have been found. It was absolutely impossible to leave like this, otherwise she didn't know if she would be able to survive the full moon night.
The sound of steady footsteps came, it was Jiang Ruixuan.
When Jiang Ruixuan entered the room, he saw Tang Ruyan lying on the soft couch, then slowed his steps, sat down on the square stool in front of the soft couch, looked at the person sleeping in front of him, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently showed a hint of a smile. raised his hand to stroke her cheek, and said silently in his heart: Yan'er, do you know how beautiful you look when you are asleep?
Tang Ruyan moved instinctively, her brows furrowed slightly, and then she opened her eyes, looked at Jiang Ruixuan, but did not speak, only moved her head back, and let his hand leave her face.
The touch of his fingertips disappeared, and Jiang Ruixuan's eyes showed a look of disappointment. She always hated him.
"Smoke, rub the medicine." Saying that, she reached out to untie her clothes, Tang Ruyan instinctively refused, and leaned to the side, "Such a trivial matter will not be done by the prince himself, Qing'er will come in." ”
Qing'er entered in response, and even Jiang Ruixuan, who was moving fast, didn't have time to refuse. Qing'er kept her head down after she came in, and only greeted Tang Ruyan when she walked to her side: "Lord Wang." ”
Jiang Ruixuan's face was pale, and he snorted coldly and handed the porcelain vase in his hand to Qing'er, but he sat there and didn't move.
"I'm tired of the prince going outside, the concubine is in this body, I'm afraid of polluting the prince's eyes."
Driving people away so bluntly, Jiang Ruixuan's face became even more ugly, but he seemed to be used to it, it has been like this for the past two days, Tang Ruyan is stubborn, if he doesn't leave, she will never apply medicine. Although his face was extremely ugly, he got up and walked outside.
"After applying the medicine, I have something to say to you."
"Got it."
After Jiang Ruixuan left, Qing'er helped her untie her clothes, revealing snow-white skin and pink whip marks on it, I have to say that the medicine he gave was indeed very good, it took two days to recover, but the recovery seemed to take half a month to recover, and there was no pain and itching.
Qing'er carefully applied plaster to those whip marks, with a distressed look in her eyes. Tang Ruyan silently observed the expression on Qing'er's face, and scored her loyalty in her heart, she urgently needs someone to rely on now, according to her observation in the past two days, Qing'er is undoubtedly the best candidate, and from her body and pace, she should also have some skills.
"Princess, does it still hurt?" Tears flashed in Qing'er's eyes, "The emperor loves the princess the most, and somehow let the princess come to kiss, and married the most indifferent fourth prince, where did the princess suffer such a crime before." ”
The emperor was mentioned. Tang Ruyan had been thinking about it for the past few days, but he still decided to tell her about her amnesia. "Qing'er, do you think anything has changed in me?"
Qing'er was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Tang Ruyan, she nodded very honestly, "The princess seems to be different from before, she seems to be assertive, and even the prince dares to invite her." ”
Tang Ruyan smiled, raised her hand to summon Qing'er to the front, attached it to her ear and whispered: "Qing'er, I have a secret, can I promise not to tell the second person after telling you?" ”
Qing'er showed a trace of trepidation in her eyes, and after looking at Tang Ruyan, she still nodded, "The princess's matter, Qing'er will never talk to anyone." ”
Tang Ruyan nodded, and now that he has come, he can only gamble. Then he whispered: "Qing'er, I have amnesia." ”
"W-what!" Qing'er looked at Tang Ruyan in surprise, but fortunately, Tang Ruyan had been prepared and covered her mouth in time. "Don't make a sound, it's a problem for them to hear."
Qing'er nodded, and Tang Ruyan let go of her hand, "I don't remember anything before giving birth, can you tell me what you know." ”
"Oh!" Qing'er nodded, still in shock, "Princess, what you said is true, this is not a joke." ”
Tang Ruyan handed her a roll of the eye. "Of course I know you can't joke, or I'll make you keep this secret? I don't remember what happened before, but the prince seems to hate me very much, and he gave me the poison of 'reincarnation' that day, so I must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise my life will be in danger. ”
Qing'er nodded, of course she knew about it, "But what can I do?" It is impossible to leave here, the palace is very guarded, and it is difficult for even flies to enter and exit, not to mention that the princess is a big living person. ”
Tang Ruyan whispered a few words in Qing'er's ear again, the expression on Qing'er's face kept changing, and finally nodded, helped Tang Ruyan get dressed, and walked out.
After Qing'er left, Jiang Ruixuan walked in again, sat down in front of her, and stared at her face for a long time before slowly speaking: "Yan'er, what do you think of tomorrow's birthday celebration?" ”
Tang Ruyan glanced at Jiang Ruixuan, it was obvious that this was his temptation, whether he answered to go or not, it was not a wise choice, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Tang Ruyan said contemptuously: "Didn't the prince say that I won't go?" Why are you coming to ask me this question now, or will the prince respect my opinion? ”
"Of course not."
Tang Ruyan shrugged, "Then there is no need for me to answer." ”
"This king wants to know what you think."
"The prince doesn't even want to control my thoughts, right?" The coldness at the corner of Tang Ruyan's mouth revealed, "I'm sorry, I'm a person, an independent person, you can control my body, that's all." ”
As soon as he spoke, Jiang Ruixuan's face turned blue again, and he took a deep breath to suppress the anger rising in his heart. There was a hint of confusion in her deep eyes, and even the way she spoke had completely changed after she lost her memory, and she had completely changed as a person, docile and domineering.
"Tang Ruyan, don't be too arrogant, your life is just a matter of this king's words, tell you, if you want to escape from the palm of my hand, you'd better die that heart, otherwise I will make you regret what you did for you."
Tang Ruyan sneered, coldness spread on his face, but he didn't say anything. With such a person, it is also in vain.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Ruixuan was furious, leaned forward violently, and reached out to pinch her chin, "You are the person of this king, and you will always be, not only the body, but also the heart must belong to this king." ”
"Haha" Despite the sharp pain in her jaw, Tang Ruyan couldn't help laughing, but there was only endless sarcasm in her smile, "Lord Wang, in fact, you know that it's impossible, why do you still insist on it?" Kill me, only when I die will it be completely yours. ”
The two looked at each other, and neither of them refused to admit defeat and bow their heads. Tang Ruyan looked at Jiang Ruixuan coldly, she is not a woman of this era, even if she wants to live, if she doesn't even have dignity, she will not be nostalgic.
Jiang Ruixuan looked at the stubbornness in her eyes, and the force in her hand became stronger and stronger, almost crushing her jaw. "Tang Ruyan, do you think this king won't dare to kill you?" His eyes were red, and every word seemed to be squeezed out between his teeth.
"It's not. I just feel that if I can only be a puppet, I can't love it. ”
There is no love in life! Jiang Ruixuan suddenly let go of the hand holding her chin, staggered back a few steps, and his face turned pale instantly. She's not kidding, her eyes convey such a message clearly. No, she can't die, absolutely can't.
"Rong Feng, go and bring the child." Jiang Ruixuan stared at Tang Ruyan's eyes and said coldly.
Hearing the child, the expression on Tang Ruyan's face was obviously stunned, and there was another look of disdain in Jiang Ruixuan's eyes. Although she didn't like children very much, no matter what, the child was born of the body she had now, and of course she had the obligation to take care of his life and death. Originally, she had no chance of winning if she escaped alone, but now she has multiple oil bottles.
In a blink of an eye, Rong Feng came in with the child in his arms, "Lord Wang, the little prince has brought it." ”
"Let the princess take a look, tomorrow the child will be taken to the palace." Jiang Ruixuan's hands hung down, and he had no intention of reaching out to pick up the child, Rong Feng sent the child to Tang Ruyan as he said.
Looking at Jiang Ruixuan's actions, a trace of coldness flashed at the corner of Tang Ruyan's mouth, and she looked down at the baby in her arms, just one glance, her heart was deeply shocked, and something called maternal love was instantly awakened. What kind of mood is that, the little baby's pink skin, a pair of big watery eyes looking at her, full of curiosity, a pink little mouth, the corners of the mouth are bent high, and the little hands are restlessly fiddling.
Tang Ruyan couldn't help but reach out and touch his cheek, and the child immediately giggled, a smile as pure as water infected her, and a heartfelt smile bloomed on her face. "What a lovely boy."
Jiang Ruixuan looked at Tang Ruyan's actions with satisfaction, and waved his hand to signal Rong Feng to retreat. After Rong Feng went out, Jiang Ruixuan walked to the side of the bed and said with a half-threat: "This is your child, remember, if you die, he will be your burial object." ”
"Jiang Ruixuan, don't be too shameless." Tang Ruyan raised his head and stared at Jiang Ruixuan hatefully, "He is also your child, the tiger poison does not eat children, you don't even let go of your own son, you are still not human?" ”
Hehe! yes, I'm still not human? Jiang Ruixuan asked rhetorically in his heart, but-"I will do what I say, if you want him to live, you will obediently listen to me." "He couldn't let her go, he couldn't, no matter what means he used, to keep her by his side.
The eyes of both sides were full of stubbornness, and no one refused to admit defeat. Tang Ruyan looked away, knowing that there was no need to be honest with him, he had already developed the habit of saying one thing over the years, this was the imperial power, and it was a force that she and all people could not compete with.
"The child will stay here tonight, and I'll have someone pick him up early tomorrow morning." Jiang Ruixuan glanced at the child, just met the child's innocent gaze, and his heart was slightly stunned, but he chose to ignore it, and he couldn't let this little ghost affect his pace. After saying that, he didn't look at the child again, turned around and walked out.
