It was noon when he woke up with a hangover, and the feeling of a splitting headache made Yi Huaiyu frown all the time, and he got up to find a glass of water to drink, but he was frightened by the figure sitting in the corner. 173
"Suiliang?" Yi Huaiyu gasped, "What are you doing sitting here like a ghost?" Do you think I'm too long-lived to help scare a few years? ”
Even Suiliang glanced at Yi Huaiyu's messy clothes, lowered his head, and didn't mean to joke at all: "Can Your Highness still laugh?" What is the result of a night of greedy pleasure, Your Highness should know better than me. ”
"What a mess-" Probably also realized that something was wrong with him, Yi Huaiyu looked down, only to find that his condition could be described as chaos, and what made his scalp tingle even more shocking was a wipe of dried blood on the felt carpet.
Yi Huaiyu didn't know how to react, he looked at the mess on the felt carpet in a daze, and slammed his fist on his forehead: "Damn!" I thought it was just a dream! ”
Confusing reality with dreams? That's a good excuse. Occasionally, Sui Liang cracked his mouth and wanted to smile, but from the reflection of the basin next to him, he saw that his expression was more tragic than crying. Last night, after thinking about it a lot, he made up his mind to go to Sima Tulan to talk about the proposal, but Sima Tulan's tent was empty, so he waited stupidly, thinking that she was still drinking by the campfire, and this was the night.
The stars are hidden, the moon is sinking, and what he is waiting for is Sima Tulan's lost soul, and what he is waiting for is a desperate scene.
Even Suiliang wanted to laugh at himself, what was he delusional like a clown? Knowing that there is no place for him in this chaotic relationship, why pretend not to care but humiliate himself? Maybe he was too timid, many words were always dragged on, and he kept telling himself that the time was not ripe, so he dragged it on until now, to the point of no return.
If you like Sima Tulan, you should tell your mind as soon as possible.
After a long silence, Yi Huaiyu was breathing tremblingly, and his eyes were blank: "What about Tu'er?" She...... How is she? ”
"Back in her account, she doesn't seem to want anyone else to know about it." Endured the heartache that was almost broken, and occasionally Sui Liang used indifference as a barrier, but he didn't dare to raise his head, afraid that he would not be able to help but rush up when he saw Yi Huaiyu's disheveled appearance, and give him a solid punch. With his fists clenched under his sleeves, he got up and walked to the door: "Your Highness, please handle this matter yourself, I can't help anything, and I don't want to help with this." ”
Hearing the boredom in Sui Liang's tone, Yi Huaiyu looked up in surprise: "What do you mean by this?" ”
"As I said, this matter is a mistake made by His Highness himself for the sake of pleasure, and I am not obligated to help."
Yi Huaiyu froze, looking at his confidant and friend with a calm face as if he was looking at a stranger.
From croaking to babbling, from holding wooden swords to supporting each other on the battlefield, in the more than 20 years of acquaintance with Occasional Suiliang, the best friend who always silently shared the burden and responsibility for him, when did he start to be reluctant to help him anymore? How many gossips have been said that even Suiliang is his loyal minions, watchdogs, they never care, because they know very well that what binds them together is the same ambition and ideal, it is the kneeling of even Suiliang when he was young, and it is his serious agreement to swear allegiance.
But in just a few years, has even the person he trusts the most changed?
Yi Huaiyu's childlike injured expression softened his conscience again, sighed silently, stopped and turned sideways slightly: "I don't want to complain about anything, it's just that Your Highness is confused, can Your Highness consider the consequences of doing this?" It hurt Miss Su's heart, not to mention it...... How will you let Miss Sima meet people in the future? ”
A woman's greatest capital is chastity, although Yi Huaiyu has always scoffed at this statement, but the reality is that once it is known that Sima Dolan lost her life before marriage, how could those enemies hiding in the shadows and a bunch of people who couldn't get married let go? Su Shiyun is similar but not the same as Sima Tulan, she has Yi Huaiyu's promise that she will marry as the main family, so naturally she doesn't have to worry too much, but the noble Sima Tulan is struggling.
All kinds of speculations made Yi Huaiyu have a splitting headache, shook his body, and almost knocked over the low table.
"What now?" While asking Xiang Suiliang, Yi Huaiyu was also asking himself.
"Your Highness shouldn't ask me, I'm not much more sober than you now." Hiding his indescribable tiredness, he lowered his voice and said softly, "So far, I can only hold on to the news, and then test Miss Sima's intentions - if she is willing, I will go to the General's Mansion to propose marriage as soon as I return to the imperial capital." ”
As if hearing something incredible, Yi Huaiyu frowned tightly: "Are you still thinking about proposing?" Enough, there's no need to always treat yourself as a pawn, I can't let you marry her after all this happened, you have your own life, you don't have to think about me everywhere. ”
"It's not a question of who to think about, I'm ......" The words came to his lips and could not be spoken, and he still gave up what he wanted to say after a moment's silence. Lifting the curtain, the scorching sun in the sky was dazzling, and the face of the couple was a little pale: "If His Royal Highness can't accept Miss Sima, he must find a suitable home for her, I think, maybe I can do it." ”
Yi Huaiyu didn't continue, or should he say it, he didn't know how to continue.
The originally clear path of the emperor has become blurred and chaotic since it was integrated into the relationship, and for Su Shiyun and Sima Tulan, he is becoming more and more unable to distinguish the boundaries of their status in his heart, and he can't tell how to end it up at this point.
He can grasp the general trend of the world, but his feelings are chaotic and unclear.
Yi Huaiyu had an extremely difficult day, whether it was to see the puppet Sui Liang or other people, he walked to Sima Tulan's tent several times and wanted to go in, but in the end he still gave up, but Sima Tulan showed an unexpected calmness, as in the past, laughing and playing, as if nothing had happened that night.
In the midst of repeated entanglements and sorrows, the day of returning to the imperial capital finally arrived.
Victory in the battle against Zhao was something that many people did not expect, and the most surprised person was none other than the emperor. With three points of fear, three points of disgust, and four points of helplessness in the face of his second son, the emperor of Yaoguo had no other reaction except for an embarrassed smile with his mouth half open, and the crown prince who was the first to stand on the right side of the court simply showed his hatred very obviously, but it was a pity that Yi Huaiyu didn't even look at him.
"Zhaoguo looks down on me Dayao, does not send veterans but sends mediocre talents on paper to fight, our army has all the generals working together and some soldiers sacrifice their lives and forget to die, and they can completely annihilate the enemy and achieve victory." Without hesitation, pushing the battle exploits on the soldiers, Yi Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at the emperor, and his cold smile was full of mockery: "In addition, I want to thank the prince, on the way to the south, the sons have received a lot of 'care' from the prince!" ”
