Chapter 246: Choice (II)
That day, in the other courtyard, he decocted medicine for Ye Qinglan, but accidentally burned his hand. While Ye Qinglan was applying ointment to him, he grabbed her hand and asked carefully, "Qinglan, this is the nineteenth time, marry me, okay?" ”
He still clearly remembers how excited he was when he saw Ye Qinglan finally nodding, even looking at the gray sky outside, it was bright.
He Liancheng came to Ye Qinglan's side and said to Murong Jingzheng: "Qinglan will not marry you, Murong Shizi, why do you bother to talk about it." ”
"Shut up!" Murong Jing raised his voice and glared at He Liancheng angrily, "This is a matter between me and Qinglan, and it has nothing to do with you. He Liancheng, are you too selfish? What qualifications do you have to make decisions for Qinglan! Who made her like this? You know how she's survived all these years? Where were you when she was blind and helpless? She was sweating in pain when she had a toxic attack, and when she rolled all over the bed, where were you......"
"Murong Jing, don't say it......" Ye Qinglan grabbed Shen Qianmo's hand tightly and interrupted him loudly, "Please, don't say it......"
There were some things that she didn't want He Liancheng to know.
The more Shen Qianmo listened, the more distressed she became, hugged Ye Qinglan, patted her gently on the back, and comforted her silently.
If Murong Jing didn't say it, she wouldn't know that in the past few years, Qinglan had suffered so much for He Liancheng.
He Liancheng's tall figure shook slightly, and he almost couldn't stand.
Murong Jing's words were like a sharp knife cutting at the tip of his heart, making him feel pain even breathing.
He had never hated himself so much as he did now.
Murong Jing was right, he was indeed very selfish.
He didn't want her to marry Murong Jing, so he didn't care about robbing her relatives, he didn't want to be separated from her, so he took her to Tianshan with all his heart.
He had been asleep in the Tianshan Mountains for more than three years, and as soon as he woke up, he only thought about how to take her for himself, but he never thought about it from Ye Qinglan's point of view.
The reason why he is unscrupulous and willful is that he only relies on her liking for him. But from Murong Jing's words, imagining the suffering she had suffered in the past few years, He Liancheng suddenly felt that he didn't deserve her liking at all.
"Qinglan, I'm sorry......" He Liancheng resisted the desire to embrace the stubborn woman into his arms, and said softly: "I will respect your decision, but ...... I won't give up on you. ”
This seemingly calm, strong, and indestructible woman, but in fact emotionally persistent, simple, sensitive and fragile, makes him feel so distressed.
This feeling of distress broke his heart so much that his heart could not tolerate anything else at the moment.
He just wants to protect her and take care of her for the rest of his life. Everything she did for him before, the price she paid, and the pain she endured, he will spend the rest of his life giving everything to warm her and love her.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Ye Qinglan, and even Prince Xuan, who had never been nosy, raised his eyebrows with interest, waiting for Ye Qinglan's decision.
Although he was a little reluctant to admit it, he had to say that He Liancheng and Murong Jing were quite passable, and they both had their own merits.
This decision does not seem to be easy to make.
Ye Qinglan lowered her eyes and was silent for a long time, her face was still calm, so that people couldn't see what her mood was. Only Shen Qianmo knew, but her grip on her hand was getting tighter and tighter.
She sighed secretly, and also felt embarrassed for Ye Qinglan.
She knew that although Ye Qinglan looked cold and always expressionless, she was the most reluctant to hurt people.
"Qianmo, take me back to Momen." After a long time, Ye Qinglan made a decision.
Although she didn't say it very loudly, the words still clearly reached the ears of everyone present.
Shen Qianmo nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, Qinglan, my father-in-law is waiting for you in the post house, let's go." ”
After the people of Xuanwangfu left with Ye Qinglan, only He Liancheng and Murong Jing were left in the huge open space outside the city.
Two men with different temperaments but equally handsome stood side by side, looking at the direction in which Ye Qinglan left, and did not make a sound for a long time.
It wasn't until the dust raised by the horse's hooves in front of him calmed down and the sky gradually darkened that Murong Jing turned his head to look at He Liancheng and said indifferently, "She didn't choose you." ”
He Liancheng's breath was sluggish, but his tone was light, "She didn't choose you either, did she?" ”
"I'm not going to give up." Murong Jing clenched his fists, as if declaring war on He Liancheng.
"Neither will I." He Liancheng looked at the big red brocade robe he was wearing, and felt that it was very eye-catching, "I won't tell you I'm sorry for today's matter." ”
"Humph!" Murong Jing snorted disdainfully, turned around and left, and said without looking back: "Do you think that your apology is rare in this world?" ”
"But...... I'll say thank you. As he walked up to the horse, He Liancheng said slowly behind him.
In the past few years, if it weren't for Murong Jing's care, how could she survive smoothly. He didn't know what would happen to him if something happened to her.
Murong Jing paused, and responded coldly: "This son doesn't need you to thank you, Qinglan is a good girl, and I did all this for her." ”
With that, he rolled over and got on the horse, grabbed the horse's belly between his legs, and galloped away.
The last touch of the slanting sun on the horizon was swallowed up by the mountains, and the sunset that had stained half of the sky red like splashing ink was only a few faint rays of afterglow. He Liancheng stood with his hands in his hands, and after a long time, he slowly walked to the horses grazing beside him.
The sky is like a dome, and it gradually turns blue. One man and one horseback galloped on the official road. That's the direction to Beidi.
He Liancheng believed that the news that he was still alive would not be long before it reached Beidi.
Although he did not want to go back, his mother was still there, and since he was still alive, he could not leave behind his responsibilities as a son of man.
Moreover, after he had already decided to be with Ye Qinglan, there were some things that he had to deal with first.
The kidnapped bride was successfully rescued, but the big wedding in Yanping Palace's mansion could only be stopped.
A few days later, Meng Yuanheng submitted his resignation to Murong Wei and Murong Zhao, the regent of the Western Liang Kingdom.
Although Murong Zhao was a little annoyed about the Xuanwang Mansion taking Ye Qinglan away, he saw that Murong Jing, who was the groom's official, had no opinion, and it was not good for him, a father, to interfere much.
Besides, he was not very satisfied with Ye Qinglan's daughter-in-law, and when the wedding was destroyed that day, he was so angry, just because he lost the face of Yanping Palace. Now that Xuanwangfu has this request, he is happy to sell this favor to Meng Yuanheng.
Xuanwangfu and Momen returned to the northwest in a mighty way. A few days later, Yun Fei, who went to Shengjing to get together with Ning Wu, also returned.
"Uncle Yun!" In the backyard of the palace, the group threw himself into Yun Fei's arms and called affectionately.
Yun Fei picked up the ball, pinched his nose, and said with a smile: "Little guy, I haven't seen you for two months, why have you sunk so much?" Beware of turning into a little fat man. ”
Not to be outdone, Tuanzi also pinched Yun Fei's cheeks, and said softly and glutinously: "Uncle Yun, you have also become fat, isn't it too comfortable to be with your aunt these days?" ”
Yun Fei's face froze, this little ghost actually knows this, who taught him?
Glancing at Baili Xiao, who was standing not far away, smiling with a chicken thief on his face, he gritted his teeth, "Baili Xiao, you carefully teach the bad group, and see if the prince and the princess will let you go when the time comes." ”
