Chapter 39: The Human Heart

Yun Yanzheng didn't look up, his intentions, she always knew, was unintentional before, and now she has no intention. In the past, I didn't know love when I was young, and I only planned for my own life; And now that this affection is becoming more and more real, she has never thought of jumping into this other, more complex and narrower prison.

"The mountain villa is quiet, it is already the best place to cultivate, so why bother to drive and bother again." Her long eyelashes drooped, her voice faintly rejecting his thoughts.

Chu Ruirong stood straight in the hall in a blue cloud brocade robe, and there was a moment of silence, with a smile on his face. I couldn't bear the question in my heart anymore, and said in a deep voice: "I don't know who the county lord wanted to save at that time?" Is it the Five Emperors who were kidnapped by traitors? Or did the county lord think that he would ignore the life and death of all people, and take risks for merit? Can the county lord be so disrespectful of himself for the sake of others? ”

The more he spoke, the colder it became, and finally it was close to harshness, and then almost to pity.

Yun Yanzheng held the teacup with both hands, his fingers couldn't help but tremble a little, and a trace of warmth rose in his heart at first, and then an even greater chill swelled up. For many years of isolation, the person in front of him has been concerned about her life and death, and now, he is paying attention to her every word and deed so meticulously, is it because of the emperor's instructions? Or is it the care that comes out of the true feelings?

"Is it the emperor who asked the prince to monitor and guess the words and deeds of the palace like this?" As soon as she raised her eyes, she saw into his eyes, which had the sharpness of a sword, as if cutting through people's hearts.

"For whom are you suspicious of me?" Chu Ruirong's face was a little gloomy, and his tone was already a little unstable.

"No one, this palace is just for himself. The words and deeds of this palace do not allow others to speculate, and the thoughts of this palace do not need to be guessed by others. Whether it was to save the five emperors' brothers, or to save Mr. Gu, at that time, the palace thought that such a decision was the most beneficial to the Wei country, and even if His Majesty personally inquired, the palace's answer was the same. Yun Yanzheng's words were solemn, but her eyes turned from sharp to gloomy, she turned her face, and her voice gradually became cold, "I have done my best to maintain the Kyoto Palace, this heart can be expressed by the sun and the moon, so why should Chu Shizi come to ask?" ”

Looking at her lonely look, Chu Ruirong was a little moved, but remembering that she was one by one, one by one, one by one, and one by one, she was completely regarded as a passer-by, and when she talked about Gu Xi, she was respectful of Mr. Ru, she didn't believe that she really meant to be good for her, and she couldn't help but feel blocked in her chest, and her face was condensed like frost.

"We've known each other for fourteen years, and you don't believe me at all?" Chu Ruirong didn't want to continue to be angry with her, so he said coldly.

"Where is the third brother at the moment?" Yun Yanzheng leaned back in his chair a little tiredly, and said coldly, but he seemed to care about him.

"Imperial Tomb." Chu Ruirong didn't react for a while, and said bluntly.

"Where am I at the moment?" Yun Yanzheng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said.

Chu Ruirong looked at her in confusion, only to see the tiredness between the beautiful eyebrows, and his expression was not as bright as before.

"Where are you now?" Yun Yanzheng said in a low voice, raised his eyes from the teacup, and looked at him with a hint of sharpness in his gaze.

Chu Ruirong's heart moved, and he already understood what she was about to say. His face changed suddenly, she was really helpless, she was saying that the emperor was still imprisoned and trapped Yun Yanjin and placed her under house arrest, but what about him Chu Ruirong? But he can still calmly answer in front of the emperor and come and go freely. Is the difference in her heart? If he gave up all this, how far away he was from her, and how far did she know? For him, she is a phoenix soaring in the sky, if he can't rely on this east wind to soar, how can he become a green luan by her side?

He was sandwiched between the emperor and her, how could he not have trekked step by step, struggling step by step, like facing the abyss, like walking on thin ice?

Chu Ruirong only felt that the blood in his heart was rolling, and he pursed the corners of his lips tightly. I was afraid that my impulse would say more things against my will to provoke her sadness and depression.

Yun Yanzheng looked at his face that was gradually turning blue, and he felt a little unbearable in his heart, and said softly: "Ruirong, I have no intention of hurting you, but our current situation is indeed like this. I'm afraid of ...... It's going to get worse and worse......"

Chu Ruirong lowered his eyes, a resolute expression on Qingjun's face, and said in a low voice: "You don't have to say it anymore, I naturally understand it in my heart." But I don't regret being this grinding, I just want you to be well, and don't say anything else. ”

"Everyone should cherish themselves before they can cherish others." Yun Yanzheng showed a forbearant expression between his eyebrows, and said word by word: "I will cherish myself for the sake of those who take care of me." ”

Does she mean that he doesn't have to worry about her anymore, that he doesn't have to do anything for her? And among the people she cared for, was he never included?

The gloom in Chu Ruirong's eyes was as deep as obsidian, and he looked back at her in a daze, and the anger on his face faded little by little. A tingling pain twisted in his chest, hesitated slightly, bowed his head to her gracefully, and said in a dry and difficult voice: "Disturb the county lord, your majesty will leave!" ”

Yun Yanzheng also looked at him for a long time, and after sighing in his heart, he nodded very lightly.

Chu Ruirong's face had gathered all his emotions in an instant, and he turned around expressionlessly. When he stepped out of the hall and walked into the sunshine, the beautiful spring scenery in the courtyard seemed to have some trance shadows in his eyes.

I don't know when his wishful thinking has become the biggest obstacle between them? The more he wanted to get closer to her, but before he knew it, he was getting farther and farther away from her?

Looking at his figure that left without stopping, Yun Yanzheng was also sad.

If not, why let him go?

She couldn't be so selfish, and since she was determined not to repay him a penny, why should she let him be implicated again? Fourteen years of protection, she is not ignorant and unconscious. However, she was addicted to freedom, and she was extremely tired of the flies and dogs in the harem and the court, and she never thought of walking out of the palace and entering the Hou Mansion again. If you marry someone in the future, it will be husband and wife, one is prosperous, one is lost, his life is her life, how can you not worry about this huge Hou Mansion standing in the bottomless whirlpool of the imperial court? How can she be alone, stay away from fame and fortune, and protect the safety of the country that is vital to her heart?

Yun Yanzheng stood up with the handrails, her body was not so weak, these looks were all made for Chu Ruirong and some people who were arranged in this villa. But now my heart does feel a little heavy, and I really feel extremely tired, and I hit my eyebrows for a while.

Every time they meet, she is more or less wary of him, and how can she really be calm in the future? It's better to be indifferent as soon as possible.

She was in a trance, and a maidservant held two exquisite boxes in both hands and presented them respectfully, kneeling down and reporting: "Eldest Princess, these two gifts were brought by Chu Shizi, I don't know how to place them?" ”

Yun Yanzheng looked back and saw that the maid was holding a hexagonal rhombic wooden box of "Xiangrong Zhai" on the top. Reaching out and lifting the lid on it, it was filled with her favorite pastries. Every time she goes to "Xiangrong Zhai", she has to feast, and once smiled, if she is not the eldest princess, not a general, she will buy this "Xiangrong Zhai", eat her snacks every day, and let the cook change some tricks every month.

It's just that I don't know who spread this, and "Xiangrong Zhai" really makes new pastries every month. He would give her a box every month, but he didn't let her eat more, saying that she would get tired of eating hard, and only ate a little bit every time to have new ideas.

With new ideas, she will eat for so long.

How could she not know?

Yun Yanzheng closed it casually, put it aside, and reached out to open the second box.

What greeted the pupil was a tube of jade flutes with purple and transparent patterns. He still hasn't forgotten her favorite flute, his fingertips gently touch the smooth flute tube, cold and delicate, the end of the jade flute is tied with a goose yellow chic tassel, on which a piece of carved phoenix auspicious white bi, is indeed a treasure that can not be found. I don't remember how many years I haven't played, but I'm afraid I'm already rusty at the moment.

Yun Yanzheng withdrew his fingertips, his expression was a little dazed, and after a moment, he reverted to Qingming. Her heart moved, and she turned to instruct the maid: "Mr. Gu must have never tasted the dim sum of 'Xiangrong Zhai', send this box to him to taste." This jade flute is indeed a fine treasure, and it should have been given to Yashifang to bury it, and sent it to Mr. Gu together. In a moment, she gave both gifts: one was to be eaten by someone else's mouth; The other thing is to completely cool Chu Ruirong's mind.

Yun Yanzheng seemed to be depressed and returned to the wing, through the heavy beaded curtain, and through an elegant screen, she sat down in front of the dressing table. Quietly listening to the sounds around him for a while, he lowered his head as if he was arranging his sleeves, took out the note from the handmaid's hand from the sleeve, and quietly hid it in his palm to watch.

The code words they exchanged were written in small characters, and only those who understood knew that what it said was: "Huang Ying has handed over the prescription for Gu poison." His Majesty let him out of the palace. She also sent people to the Hengwang Mansion to look for Mr. Gu. ”

Her clear face furrowed her eyebrows, and then a trace of unpredictable smile slowly appeared on the corners of her beautiful lips, and her voice was almost inaudible: "No wonder I want to ask Your Majesty to give me a quiet place to recuperate, it turns out that he himself wants to take refuge, and he really has no last resort." ”

is a good Huang Ying, judging the situation and changing her strategy all of a sudden. I think it is to set up blame for Gu Xi and divide his trust with the emperor. is also fighting cattle across the mountain, wanting to yin her and the third brother, making the emperor's suspicion of them more and more difficult to turn back.

It's just that I don't know what the royal brother will think after receiving the spies' return?
