Chapter 102: What is the Truth?
"What? The great Song Emperor was so kind to release me from such a dark dungeon? β
Yeluqi was standing on top of the high hall, without the slightest discomfort, that kind of expression was as comfortable as if it were his own home, and if the ministers hadn't seen the shocking scars on his body, they really couldn't believe that this man had been locked up in a dark room and suffered.
The dark blue hair was unruly flying, dry with a little sticky dust, and the tall figure covered the two guards beside him, with an unusual frivolity in his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his face was covered by a shadow, covering the uneasy insidiousness in his eyes, like a wolf hiding in the shadows, cunning and greedy.
Rui Yan sat expressionlessly on the top of the hall and confronted him, his face did not even change at all, he looked at him coldly, and refused to speak, the two looked at each other straight about a cup of tea, and the ministers below were a little stunned, and their eyes frequently looked at the position where Zuo Chen was standing in the past, and then sighed softly, if ...... If the adults were here, there would definitely be a way...... Hey, why did you take a leave of absence today?
There was a commotion outside the main hall, which caused the courtiers to look back one after another, Rui Yan looked at the beautiful blue figure outside, and frowned without a trace. Why did you still come, didn't you order Xiao Shunzi not to ask anyone to disturb him to rest, those cold eyes couldn't help but be dyed with a touch of pity, this person is always like this, no matter when he is so reckless.
Yu Guang just happened to see Yeluqi also turned his head in time, Zuo Chen was stunned because of his gaze, although it was only a very short period of time, but for the two people above the main hall who were engrossed in watching him, it was obvious at all.
Yeluqi habitually evoked a wicked but sunny smile, looked at the unnatural lowering of his head, quietly turned around and smiled at Rui Yan, but as Zuo Chen walked in, his smile became more and more ugly, and the high-necked robe was full of shawls, casual and elegant.
But the man's unnatural walking posture and the faint bruise on his neck are not difficult to find out what he has experienced, maybe he can hide it from others, but ...... For him, a person who has experienced so many same-sex sexual affairs, how could he be concealed from the past?
Yeluqi's face suddenly turned blue, and he couldn't help gritting his teeth, looking at the figure of the person behind him with hatred, and the fist in his hand became tighter and tighter. What he said yesterday was just a rhetoric, he loved this person, how could he use such despicable means to get him, although he had indeed done some unclean things all along, but he had never made the last step.
At this time he began to regret that if he had made up his mind to complete the last step, that person would not have run away from him, would not have been away from him for three years, and would have fallen into the arms of others, but should have snuggled up to each other in his own arms.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is late, please ask Your Majesty to surrender."
Zuo Chen walked to the middle of the hall without humility or arrogance, his voice trembled slightly, his nervousness was not because he was the focus of the whole hall at this moment, everyone was looking at him, but the scorching gaze of the person on the seat, which made him tremble, starting from his heart, the unstoppable cold, the scene he saw last night surrounded him tightly like a shadow, making him feel suffocated.
Just before coming to the main hall, he had already gone to Lingyun's place to see him, his godless eyes looked at a roll of brocade handkerchief in his hand emptyly, and the May plum blossoms embroidered with pink threads were precise, and there seemed to be two people in a sea of flowers, carrying a line of words on the side, because he was in a hurry and didn't look carefully.
How did things come to this...... Zuo Chen, who was thinking to himself, slowly ignored Yeluqi's hot and aggressive eyes.
"That's it, Xiao Shunzi moved a stool and let Zuo Cheng sit next to me, half of the reason why I arrived so late today is because I am accompanying me to take care of government affairs, but it is difficult for the prime minister to work so hard." Rui Yan looked at Yeluqi on the side with a smile, and with a smile that seemed to be ambiguous, he said to Xiao Shunzi below affectionately.
Rui Yan's sudden words made the entire hall silent for a moment, and even Zuo Chen himself raised his head and opened his eyes wide, looking at him in disbelief, and his cheeks were first red with a smile at him, and then then a pale.
Sitting next to the emperor, what a privilege, to greet others with envy and jealousy, another person may be moved to cry, but that person is him, it is simply impossible, for him except for a bitter smile is a bitter smile, he can't think of a second emotion at all.
Ruiyan is like a poison that cannot be eradicated at all, it is impossible to quit completely, he can only suppress himself as much as possible, try not to touch the painful wound, fear and distress continue to do tug-of-war back and forth in his heart. I finally wanted to forget him a little bit, but I had to get so close, so close that I could kiss the good smell of lemon on his body.
He didn't even remember what he said in the morning, he just kept looking at Rui Yan with his eyes wide open, and the calm general style on weekdays disappeared, and his dazed expression was like a child, until the end of the entire morning dynasty, Yeluqi was taken out, and he was still in a state of ignorance, as if everything was unaware.
"Xiao Bai, what are you thinking, did that person charm you like this, willing to commit yourself to him, what about your pride? What about your dignity? What about your indomitability? You...... Are you in love with him, tell me...... Kindness? β
Suddenly, a mellow voice came from a corner behind the rockery in the Imperial Garden, this voice Zuo Chen was too familiar to be any more familiar, almost the moment the voice remembered, his steps stopped, his body stood a little stiff in place, and it took a long time before he slowly turned around.
"It's not ...... what you think." The voice was so weak that he almost couldn't hear it, Zuo Chen raised his eyes stiffly and looked at him coldly, he didn't even believe what he said in this blank explanation, and he didn't know if he was talking about it to the person opposite him, or to himself.
Yeluqi glanced coldly at the dazed Zuo Chen, and his heart also hurt, this person is the person in front of him, three years ago, he kept saying that he loved him, but he just had a marriage contract with Yun Yun in an instant, and he kept saying that the person he loved was him, but now, he was sad every day for another person.
The lowered head looked straight at his confused eyes, and a layer of fierceness flashed in his eyes, and he asked accusatorily in a questioning tone: "Isn't it what I thought?" The person you love is me, isn't it, you said you wanted to grow old with me, and the result? It's only the second day that you have a marriage contract, and now you're empathetic and don't fall in love, you're enough, aren't you very proud, it's not for a man to bend under someone else, it's cool, so why did you refuse ...... in the first place. β
"Pop" A loud slap sounded dullly in the air, which stunned the two colleagues for a moment, Yeluqi never thought that Zuo Chen would hit him, he simply didn't hesitate a little, and after coming back to his senses, his face became more and more gloomy, he gritted his teeth and looked at him in disbelief, covered his face with his hand and muttered: "You...... Hit me? β
Zuo Chen was stunned for a moment, then looked at him contemptuously and disdainfully, and asked with a sneer: "What if I beat you, you brute, what qualifications do you have to talk to me about love or not." β
"I'm not eligible? Then who do you say is qualified, do you say wisely, don't forget who forced you, made you sad and made you miserable, the person you love is me, look into my eyes and tell me, you love me. β
Ignoring Zuo Chen's dodge, Yeluqi clasped his shoulder tightly with one hand, and looked at him seriously, with those eyes that wanted to believe themselves...... Now the humble Zuo Chen couldn't bear to continue to look at him, dodged his restraint, and sneered in disgust: "Do you really think I liked you at that time?" Yeluqi, you are too naΓ―ve, at that time you were just the object of my mission, and now I don't want to lie to you, our accounts should be calculated properly, at that time, it was just a secret order given to me by the emperor, let me deal with you for a while to steal information. β
"I don't believe it."
"Don't believe me? Believe it or not, even if I liked you a little bit at the time, do you think I will really be with you, not to mention the methods you used to deal with me, just by virtue of your rape of the little sister, do you know, it is enough to make me hate you for the rest of my life? β
Zuo Chen pushed away his body that was getting colder and colder, and his heart became colder and colder...... I didn't promise the emperor how good it would be if I didn't know the person in front of me, how good it would be if the little sister was still alive, at least ...... He can give her some compensation, so that everything promised in that time and space will not be empty.
"I ......." Yeluqi heard his words and wanted to refute, but suddenly he was stunned in place, and became silent because of the girl, paused, and whispered in a voice that couldn't hear his emotions: "What if I say that there is another secret in this? Will you believe me? β
"I'm innocent, even if I have the prince's illness you mentioned, I won't do such a beastly thing, ...... I'll tell you exactly what it is, can I give me a chance to explain? β
