Chapter 177: Xuanmuro Palace, Confession
Mr. Liao looked at me gently, it seemed that in his eyes, my little thoughts were just a piece of jasper in the shallow Tan, swept at will, and when my eyes touched, it was clear at a glance without suspense.
Mr. Liao called me Miss Cheng, which means that my current identity is Cheng Tianxue, so my attitude and tone of speech naturally have to be respectful and polite.
"Manager Liao, the sisters who came with the little girl have already found a good son-in-law, so I don't know what arrangements Your Majesty will make for the little girl's marriage?"
When Manager Liao heard my words, there was a smile in his deep eyes, "Miss Cheng, your marriage belongs, the old slave can't say it, this matter, Miss Cheng, it's better to ask Your Majesty in person?" ”
Personally, what do you mean, is it really possible?
My head, for a moment, was stupid and couldn't react.
Manager Liao looked at my stunned expression, did not speak, but turned around and walked out of the side hall, and said: "Miss Cheng, don't miss the opportunity and don't come again, are you really not ready, go and ask in person?" ”
Mr. Liao's words were short, but I understood his implied meaning, a thousand words, at this moment, I can only say one sentence, "Mr. Liao, thank you." ”
"Miss Cheng, you should know that when the old slave helps you, he is helping His Majesty, so you don't need to be polite?" After Mr. Liao finished speaking, he said no more, and I followed his footsteps after breathing a sigh of relief.
At this moment, every step I take, it is like a heavy burden under my feet, and it is difficult to move an inch, but even so, I must have the spirit of Yugong to move mountains and walk it down.
In the past, after some struggle, I abandoned the happiness that should have belonged to me, and now, I regret not being at the beginning, and I should pay the same price to redeem all this.
The moment Mr. Liao gently pushed open the Xuanshu Hall, the golden vermilion lacquer door, I seemed to hear the most distant call in my heart.
"Miss Cheng, will you go in with the old slave?" Manager Liao's deep eyes always have just the right smile.
The golden dragon pillar, the magnificent Xuanshu Palace, I followed behind Mr. Liao, walking step by step, leaning over and hanging my head slightly, I don't know, later, what was the first thing he said to me?
"The old slave has seen Your Majesty." Manager Liao bowed slightly, I raised my eyes slightly, only to see Dongfang Yu in front of the golden dragon bookcase, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, noble and cold, he looked at me over Manager Liao's eyes, calm like a clear lake, no waves.
After waving his hand lazily and casually, Chief Manager Liao received the order and respectfully withdrew from the Xuanshu Palace.
At this moment, in the huge Xuanshu Palace, only me and Dongfang Yu were left, looking at each other from afar.
"Miss Cheng, is there anything wrong with finding Lone?" Dongfang Yu's voice was faint and alienated.
"Dongfang Yu, little brother, do you know, when I was still in Phoenix Mountain, every time I looked at the peach forest for dozens of miles, there was only one thought in my heart?
I want to think so much, I want to stand in front of you again and tell you, the mountains have trees and branches, and I don't know if I forget you, and I forget myself? ”
I deliberately ignored Dongfang Yu's words, but said to myself, I have always wanted to tell him what is in my heart.
I don't want to procrastinate, and I don't want to say what I have always been afraid to say, it will become a witness between me and Dongfang Yu, heaven and man.
Dongfang Yu's deep eyes did not rise and fall in the slightest, he looked at me lightly, for a long time, his thin lips poured out a few words, and said, "Miss Cheng, I don't understand, what are you talking about?" ”
Dongfang Yu's indifference and estrangement from beginning to end did not surprise me, but I wouldn't give up so easily?
"Your Majesty doesn't understand, or doesn't you want to understand?" I hooked the corners of my lips slightly, smiled slightly, and said: "However, it doesn't matter, the courtiers came today to ask you for an official position, I don't know, Your Majesty can afford to see the reputation of the four talented women in Jingzhou?" ”
"Eh, what official position does Miss Cheng want to ask for, if it is reasonable, can Lone consider it, consider it?" Dongfang Yu looked down at me condescendingly.
And I, just right, looked up at him slightly, and said without hesitation: "The former female officer." ”
"The Imperial Lady." Dongfang Yu chewed it in his mouth, and then, he looked back at me with deep eyes, and said, "If Gu doesn't agree, what should you do?" ”
"If Your Majesty does not agree, then please ask Your Majesty to fulfill his original promise and choose a marriage for his courtiers, so that his courtiers can spend the rest of their lives without worrying about food and clothing." I looked up at Dongfang Yu's gaze, burning and determined.
Dongfang Yu because of my words, a touch finally emerged in his unwavering eyes, I used the naked eye, I can see the expression, he looked down at me, silent for a long time, before asking leisurely: "Miss Cheng, do you have a favorite candidate?" ”
"Absolutely." I looked up at him, nodded without hesitation, and said: "His surname is Zhuo, his name is natural, and the courtiers can be said to have fallen in love with him at first sight, but, unfortunately, Ah Ran has come and gone without a trace."
I have no way of knowing his whereabouts, so if Your Majesty does not agree to the courtier's request, how about finding him for the courtier? ”
"What would you do if Lone found him for you?" Dongfang Yu's eyes were unconsciously dyed with a smile, perhaps, this sudden smile, even he didn't notice it.
"At the ends of the earth, swear to die." Eight short words, but resolutely and resolutely show my determination.
"Then if he doesn't love you, or if he already has a wife, do you still want to do this?" Dongfang Yuxiu's long fingers tapped lightly on the bookcase.
I think he should be nervous at this moment, right?
It's just that he can't show it, let alone dare to show it?
Every time he said a word, he was afraid that I would see the clue, but did he know that, in fact, I already knew all this?
"Your Majesty is not Ah Ran, how do you know if he loves me or not?" There was a faint hint of anger in my tone, "Your Majesty knows Ah Ran, how much he has paid for me, now he, every tomorrow, may be his end, but he is still torturing his body and mind day and night in order for me to live unharmed?" ”
Dongfang Yu didn't seem to expect that I would look at each other angrily because of his words, his gaze was slightly stunned, and his voice was a little low: "He's too stupid?" ”
"Yes, he's not stupid, he's just stupid, he thinks he's doing that for my good, but he doesn't know that if he treats me like this, he treats himself like this, and he might as well kill me.
He only knows that everything is under his control, but who can still protect and want to protect after his death.
If, what I say today, still can't make him wake up, then, the day he dies, or the day he no longer appears, the day in front of my eyes, I will wipe my neck, follow his footsteps, go up and down the yellow spring, life and life, entanglement. ”
Dongfang Yu's deep eyes gradually became gloomy and cold because of my words, "You, why are you doing this?" ”
"Why bother, Your Majesty, do you know that this sentence is what I have always wanted to say to Ah Ran?" I pursed my lips and smiled bitterly.
"Ah Ran, do you really refuse to recognize me? Do you really want to leave this world with regrets in this life? "My eyes didn't blink, staring at Dongfang Yu's clear and unparalleled handsome face, I was afraid that I would miss the scenery that I shouldn't miss in the blink of an eye.
Dongfang Yu stood up leisurely, walked down with difficulty, and the golden steps step by step came to me, and said with burning eyes: "Xiaoyu, do you know that there are countless forks in the road in life, but once you raise your feet and make a choice, then there will be no way out." ”
"It's just one road, and if I find something wrong, I'll turn back again, won't it be okay?" I looked up at Dongfang Yu, and Dongfang Yu's words made a crack appear in my heart, a crack that I had been trying my best to forget.
Dongfang Yu shook his head lightly, "Yes, the road, you went wrong, you can turn back again, but can you guarantee that at that fork in the road, the people who are waiting for you can always wait without regrets?"
Xiaoyu, I'm sorry, I love you for twenty years, and now, I'm really tired, I hope you can let me go, and let yourself go? ”
"No, I don't." Dongfang Yu's words made me deliberately pretend to be strong, and I collapsed in an instant, and my tears rolled in like a river that broke the embankment.
"Dongfang Yu, I'm your heart-locked sister, don't you be like this, okay, Dongfang Yu, don't worry, in the future, I won't be a burden to you again, this time, I will accompany you silently until the end of my life, okay?"
I threw myself into Dongfang Yu's arms regardless of life or death, showing my vulnerability in front of him without leaving a single trace.
"I'm sorry, Xiaoyu, it's too late for all this." Dongfang Yu gently pushed me away, and in his eyes, he was resolute.
"Nope." I looked at Dongfang Yu with teary eyes, and when I said it, I couldn't cry anymore, just when I wanted to get close to Dongfang Yu again, a loud cheer interrupted me.
"Bold slave maid, disgrace in front of the palace, and don't kneel down to ask for sin." Before the person arrived, the sound came first, this voice, I don't have to look at it, but I also know that the tide is coming?
"Xi'er, why are you here?" Dongfang Yu didn't care, in Wei Chaoxi's words, insulted me, instead, the corners of his mouth showed a gentle smile that I hadn't seen for a long time.
Wei Chaoxi hesitated for a moment about Dongfang Yu's name, but now, she was too sad and didn't care about the slight change in expression on her face.
"The concubine misses Your Majesty, so she came." After Wei Chaoxi walked gracefully past me, in front of me, he gently snuggled in Dongfang Yu's arms.
Seeing this, Dongfang Yu had a stronger smile in his eyes, he stretched out his hand to wrap his hand around her slender waist, everything was so natural, as if, such a scene, they had done it thousands of times.
Such a heartwarming scene stung my eyes deeply, even though I knew, none of this was true.
Dongfang Yu, why, I said so much, I did so much, you still have to stick to your original idea?
Why?
