Chapter 138: The Holy Maiden of Zhaonan
"Just now the emperor said that I should marry the emperor." Chu Zhaonan's words were basically understood by Murong Zhi. Chu Zhaonan is not an impersonal person, but they are all the same, and they are never willing to listen to other people's arrangements and decisions.
"Isn't that good, the emperor likes you a lot." Murong Zhi couldn't say anything to refuse. She already knew Qing Jingyao's thoughts, and she also felt that she was not a loss with Chu Zhaonan, so the rest was nothing more than the two of them running in. As long as Chu Zhaonan thinks that there is no problem, the two of them should be able to become immortal couples.
"But that's not what I meant to her." Murong Zhi's attitude was very soft, so Chu Zhaonan didn't know how to refute, but at the same time he was also disappointed. Just now, he paid a lot of attention to Murong Zhi's expression, and there was nothing in it except calmness. What he expected, jealous, restless, even dissatisfied, she didn't have it.
"Do you think you have any other way than to marry Qing Jingyao?" Murong Zhi held tea in her hand, painted a light apricot color, and the corners of her eyes looked calm as her eyebrows raised, but it was also another kind of victory.
Although Liulizhuang is said to be an invisible dynasty, and its influence in the rivers and lakes is basically the same as that of the imperial court, it is only in the rivers and lakes. On the contrary, Qing Ruifan, as the emperor, has absolute control over Han Qin, and it is so simple to really suppress a person.
Of course, Liulizhuang can keep Chu Zhaonan safe, but in the process of secrecy and makeover, it will definitely take a lot of effort, not to mention, the important thing is that Chu Zhaonan, who has changed to another look, will not be happy himself.
Qing Jingyao is not lost to any girl if she looks good, and the only thing that can make people feel inappropriate is her status as an emperor. Once everything involves power, it will subconsciously change its taste. Qing Jingyao's supreme power will definitely suppress the man, which is the most important difference between Qing Jingyao's love and other girls.
"I could have many routes." Chu Zhaonan looked at Murong Zhi's delicate face, and suddenly seemed to have made up his mind, and his voice began to be ruthless.
Murong Zhi gently threw a cup at him. She was not afraid that Chu Zhaonan would not be able to catch it. She looked at the big boy who was taller than her, but obviously immature. Chu Zhaonan was her elder brother, but only when he was in charge of Murong Zhi.
"Why did you make fun of Qing Jingyao at that time?" What Murong Zhi said was already a tact. Qing Jingyao's generosity lies in the fact that she is not angry, noisy or quarrelsome, but just quietly uses her own wisdom to resolve the past, without pursuing or provoking trouble. This subdued the minds of all those who knew the inside story.
"Cutting the grass does not remove the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows." Chu Zhaonan has always disliked entanglement, let alone this kind of royal dispute.
"It's over." Murong Zhi expressed his attitude with two simple words. Chu Zhaonan's sense of proportion has never been so superficial. The most important thing for a girl is her body. Chu Zhaonan's formation was not just a dismount for Qing Jingyao, but more like some kind of stopping.
"Are you sure this is just for Qing Jingyao?" If it was someone who was standing on the outside, it might simply be regarded as Chu Zhaonan's ignorance, but Murong Zhi didn't think so.
Chu Zhaonan's heart began to beat violently. Murong Zhi has always been the one who sees him most clearly for so many years, no matter what kind of thing he is.
Chu Zhaonan didn't actually say that it was so serious at that time. At that time, he just planned to leave her in the dense forest to find the way by himself, and the group of bandits were the back personnel, just in case, but later, when he saw Qing Jingyao laughing, he felt an indescribable irritability in his heart, which is why it became like this.
After all, he was too much.
Chu Zhaonan has liked Murong Zhi for so many years, he has always been the one who pays, and he never knew how pathetic and pitiful he looked, and Qing Jingyao's death made him panic even more. I don't know where I don't know, is it the same for Murong Zhi?
"I ......" Chu Zhaonan's face was melancholy for a while, stammering, but he still understood the crux of his problem, "It's me who is too arrogant and stubborn." ”
Chu Zhaonan didn't do anything wrong, but his temperament imprisoned him.
"Zhaonan, you and Emperor Ji have never really sat down and communicated." Although Murong Zhi couldn't completely convince Chu Zhaonan, from her point of view, these two people were not impossible, but they were just methods.
"Forget it today, next time choose a time when you are all ready, and I will preside." Murong Zhi only felt bad at the beginning, and everyone didn't like to be arranged to do things. But then I still wanted to open it.
Not everyone has the ability to decide what they want. In the case that you can't change yourself, you can only work hard to change yourself. This is not Liulizhuang's weakness to the imperial power, nor is it Murong Zhi and Chu Zhaonan's admission of defeat. It's just that it hasn't reached the final point, and Liulizhuang must not be the enemy of the entire dynasty.
Chu Zhaonan's heart was full of tiredness, although the fact that Murong Zhi revealed made him feel a little less heavy in his heart, but if it looked like this, he had a great chance of marrying Qing Jingyao.
To Qing Jingyao, even if there is anything, it is just two poor worms who can't catch their lover, and only this is the same. If he really wanted to understand the other party, although Chu Zhaonan couldn't do it, he would still follow Murong Zhi's meaning slowly.
When you are really familiar with a person, all his actions will become your insights, and your every thought will become his will.
Murong Zhi didn't need to understand what Chu Zhaonan felt about her, and she didn't need to know what it was like to be able to reach the point she wanted. She only needs to understand that Chu Zhaonan will always stand by her side, no matter whether they can become husband and wife in the end, this is enough.
After sending Chu Zhaonan away, Murong Zhi felt a little more melancholy. Chu Zhaonan accompanied her all the way, whether it was in Liulizhuang or in the palace, he was always on call, and he could always make Murong Zhi feel at ease.
Chu Zhaonan was not only Liulizhuang's "accomplice" to her, but Gu Huai wanted more than this when he brought him to Murong Zhi. Gu Huai hoped that Chu Zhaonan would become Murong Zhi's last but deadliest arrow, but Murong Zhi had always regarded Chu Zhaonan as the most talkative and softest brother.
"Mother, the chief of internal affairs is here." The chief of internal affairs has been running a lot lately, maybe he wants to prepare for scheduling, and he will come to Murong Zhi when he is undecided, so it is not strange to see him now.
Murong Zhi nodded, then looked at the gray sky outside. It's going to rain, and the winter rain is the same as the rain in other seasons, never predictable, mysterious, but sad at the same time.
The chief of internal affairs is hesitant in the layout of the hall this time, the newly promoted Ouyang and the prime minister who exist in name only, the two symbols of the two factions of the party, so the problem is also here, how to distribute the seats of the two of them has become another big problem. After all, the chief of internal affairs is just a petty official, and he can't do such a thing himself, so he came to Murong Zhi to ask for an answer.
Murong Zhi looked at the banquet list, and there was no decision for a while, so she only asked the chief of the prison to put this aside first and go to the rest. Wait until she asks Qing Ruifan before making plans. Murong Zhi, the power in the court, has an understanding, but this kind of thing still needs Qing Ruifan to think about it more thoroughly.
It really rained at night, just when Murong Zhi was packing up and planning to read the book. The sound of the rain outside knocking on the eaves of the house was no more silent than the snow falling, and it brought a kind of roaring mad excitement. It rains at this time near the end of the year, just like it snows in the south, and it's so strange that it makes people feel unusual.
Murong Zhi sat in front of the window, listening to the wind outside for a while, trying to sweep through the window lattice. She was not calm in her heart, and subconsciously began to tremble, as if something so heavy in her heart was binding herself, step by step, dragging herself to a colder, colder place.
There was a voice crying out pain in her body, but there was no place on her body that could move except her heartbeat. On this cold and boundless night, she felt the weight of the whole world weighing on her, and all the snow and ice gathered towards her.
Murong Zhi began to think of that person again, the woman who was always smiling, dressed in fancy clothes but never proud, standing on the rainy corridor. The bamboo pieces are wrapped around the eaves with tassels, and when the wind blows, you can see the shadows of the waving trees, which looks like in a dream.
It's been a long time since I forgot it, but such a person, whether it's in my heart or in my mouth, is a scenery that is absolutely impossible to forget. So, such a beautiful person.
Murong Zhi didn't sleep for long, and when she woke up, it was still dark outside. Lixia was on the table next to her, squinting with one hand on her cheek. She didn't call her again, just hugged the quilt that she didn't know when, picked up the tea that was already cold, took a sip, and then looked out the window.
The rain has stopped, the black night is still heavy, at such a time, all the bad things have a reason, and slowly become the shadow in everyone's heart, like the coming of every rainy night, unfounded but alive.
The dawn was also shallow and faint, after Murong Zhi reviewed the internal strength and mental method again. She hasn't practiced basic skills for a long time, and she suddenly feels out of breath when she practices it, and it's really the fault of people who are too lazy.
Yunshuang didn't come back all night. Li Xia woke up and looked at Murong Zhi's warm smile, and only nodded slightly, then stood up and beckoned someone to fetch water for Murong Zhi to wash.
Today's weather is much better, the rain has drawn a reflection on the bluestone slab ground, and the thin ice that has formed lightly has shrunk in the corners of the stagnant water, bright but dangerous. Murong Zhi didn't plan to go out, and the weather outside was cold again.
But just because she doesn't go out doesn't mean no one will come looking for her. Those who are willing to go out on this cold day must be people who have something. Fenglan Palace was quiet everywhere, and Murong Zhi didn't feel cold, but worried about Yuan Luo. It was midsummer when Yuan Luo came, and the weather in the north was still warm even if it couldn't be compared with the south, but now it's different, and such a cold will make Yuan Luo very sad.
But to Murong Zhi's surprise. Just as she had just changed her clothes and went to the yard to look at the flowers, someone came over.
