When I returned to the state capital, it was not too late, and when I changed my clothes and freshened up, the maids came to deliver dinner, probably Yuan Yichu had a lot of things to do today, he didn't come to eat with me, so he sat at the table alone and ate silently against the candle flame, and when he finished cleaning up, the sky was dark.

I lay at the head of the bed, alone looking at the flickering candle flames.

The surroundings were quiet, and I didn't even hear a single gasp, but in the distance, I could hear the restless turmoil in the city, and although I was now well-fed and better off than the people outside, I didn't feel safe.

In such troubled times, there is no complete tranquility in the first place.

At this time, I remembered that Yuan Gongzi again.

There is always a quiet aura in his body, as if he is not affected by the outside world at all, no one can disturb him, and nothing can move him, in such a precarious place, he lives like an outsider in a paradise.

Perhaps, the place where he lives is not Dongzhou, but a realm he has created for himself.

Not everyone can live so freely, and not every woman has such a blessing, when she meets such a man, in order to protect her beloved, she actually risked her life without caring about her own safety, thinking of this, my heart has a faint envy, not only envy him, but also envy his sweetheart.

If it's me, if it's Yuan Yichu......

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but feel a faint sourness.

Actually, it's not that there is no stalk in my heart, why did I marry him, and how did I get to this day with him, but people have lost their memory, the facts have been placed in front of them, and it is useless to pursue them again, and I don't want to dig out some unchangeable pasts, but I just make myself sad.

Just, if you have a choice......

If you have a choice......

The next morning, when I had just woken up and was sitting at the head of the bed, a maid came in with hot water to serve me to get up and freshen up, rinse my mouth with green salt, wash my face again, and sit in front of the bronze mirror to comb my hair, she smiled at me and said, "Did Madame have a beautiful dream last night?" ”

"Huh? How? ”

"You've been smiling."

"Really?"

I looked up at myself in the bronze mirror, but no, my eyes were crooked, and the corners of my mouth were curved with a smile, maybe because the room was too warm, and there was a faint flush on my cheeks, and the whole person looked very energetic.

Last night, Yuan Yichu didn't come, and I really seemed to have a long dream.

But now I don't remember what I saw in my dream, I only vaguely remember that the sky in my dream was not like the haze of Dongzhou, but a clear and vast sky, with a warm wind blowing on my cheeks, bright sunshine and sparkling water appeared in front of me, and I seemed to hear a person's laughter.

The laughter, clean and clear, seemed to me to be a very happy thing just to hear it, and in the dream, I seemed to be in a trance, hearing someone calling my name—lightness...... Light......

But who is that man?

But it was just a dream, I smiled and didn't say anything, the maid had already brought me breakfast, and while helping me to prepare the vegetables, she said, "Madam, is your hand hurt?" Slaves and maids. ”

I looked down at my hand, there was a bruise yesterday, but now it doesn't seem to hurt at all.

When I opened the handkerchief, I was taken aback, the abrasions on my palms had begun to scab, so fast, it seemed that the medicine that Yuan Gongzi gave me was really good.

I took two mouthfuls of porridge from the bowl and asked, "My lord, have you had breakfast?" ”

"No, no."

I listened to her hesitation and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

The maid said cautiously: "The slaves and maids sent the things over, but Lord Yang brought back some news to the adults, and when the slaves and maids withdrew, they heard that the things inside had fallen. ”

"Oh?"

I frowned, Yuan Yichu's temper is not good, I have known this for a long time, but no matter how bad his temper is, he rarely takes people and things out of anger, but now that he is like this, is there something wrong?

Thinking like this, I couldn't sit still, so I took two sips in my hand, got up and said, "Let the kitchen do it again, I'll send it over." ”

"Yes."

The small kitchen soon delivered a food box, which was steaming chicken porridge and some hors d'oeuvres, and I had people take them to the study, and as soon as I approached, I saw that the door was hidden, and although I didn't hear a sound, I seemed to feel an oppressive atmosphere.

The maid walked behind me, and her steps were a little sluggish.

I knew that she was afraid of hitting Yuan Yichu's fire, so I turned around and took the food box, let her go down, and just walked to the door of the study, I heard Yang Yunhui say: "The news came from Shengjing's side, but whether it has moved or not, we have to wait for the spies here to come out." ”

“……”

"Third brother, if you really come—what do you do?"

Yuan Yichu didn't speak, but I seemed to hear him gritting his teeth.

I walked over and gently pushed the door open.

Yang Yunhui immediately turned his head to look at the door, and when he saw that it was me, he relaxed a little, and as soon as I walked in, I saw Yuan Yichu Tieqing sitting at the desk with a green face, and the ground in the center of the room was full of broken dishes, and soup and rice were spilled on the ground.

As soon as he saw me, he frowned: "What are you doing here?" ”

"I heard you didn't have breakfast, so I'll bring it to you."

"No, you go down."

I glanced at him and didn't say anything, just gently put the food box on the table, and put out the dishes and chopsticks from it, Yuan Yichu's brows twisted into a pimple, and said in a deep voice: "I'll let you go down!" ”

"I'll go down when you're done eating."

Yang Yunhui looked at us, turned around and walked out without saying anything, and closed the door, I took a bowl of porridge and brought it to him with some side dishes.

He looked at the bowl and then at me.

Maybe something really happened, the big thing on Shengjing's side, I could feel his suppressed anger, as if it was about to explode in the next moment, but I still stubbornly sent the bowl to him, looked down at him calmly: "No matter what happens, it can be solved, but if you just lose your temper here, it's useless to damage the enemy, and it's yourself who consumes it, so why bother?" ”

"It's useless to damage the enemy, it's yourself who consumes it."

He repeated, looked up at me, and suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth: "You're right. ”

As soon as the words fell, he suddenly grabbed my wrist, and before I could react, the whole person had been dragged by him, and the porridge bowl fell to the ground with a clatter, and I staggered and threw myself on his chest, and the whole person was stupid: "You-what?" ”

He didn't speak, he just looked into my eyes from a close place, and the dark pupils seemed to be about to burst into flames, and the next moment, I only heard the books and pen and ink on the table swept to the ground by him, and the whole person was thrown down on the desk by him.

At this moment, I was completely stunned.

No matter how dazed I was, I knew what he was going to do, and I didn't even have time to resist, my hands had been firmly pinched on the sides of his body on the table, and I looked at him with wide eyes, and his handsome but cold face, full of heavy haze, stared at me.

"You-"

I didn't know what was going on to make him like this suddenly, but the two of them were only separated by thin clothes, and they could already clearly feel the heat of his body and the surging desire, which made me almost tremble.

I bit my lower lip: "You, let go-"

As soon as these two words came out, his eyes suddenly sank, and he suddenly pressed my lips.

In an instant, my lips and tongue fell, as if a flame had reached my body from his body, and with the pain and the torment of being burned, I struggled so hard that tears welled up at once, and my whole body let out a desperate struggle and moan like a trapped beast.

However, all the shouts were swallowed up by him, and he seemed to be not satisfied, constantly grabbing my little tongue, tossing and turning, and the hands that clasped my wrists refused to let go, and in the struggle, the wounds on my hands that had not healed were torn apart, and suddenly, a heart-piercing pain struck.

At this time, his lips slowly moved to my cheek, and after a moment, he immediately frowned: "Hmm-"

As if sensing something, he looked up, and there was a little water stain on his lips, which was my face, and the messy tears were falling from the corners of his eyes.

Looking at me like this, his originally hot body seemed to be thrown into the ice cave for a moment, and suddenly became cold, but he did not leave immediately, but leaned over to look at my teary eyes, his brows furrowed, as if he could not stretch out.

Then, he saw my hand: "Are you hurt?" ”

I turned my head, my eyes were hazy with tears, and I only saw in a trance that the original scabbed wound had cracked open, as if blood had oozed out, in fact, the injury was not serious, but in my white palm, it looked so shocking.

At this time, he let go of me, and was about to grab my hand, but I pulled it back fiercely: "Don't worry about it! ”

By the time I said this, my tears were already falling. I never thought that this man would be like this, in broad daylight, in this study-

The feeling of extreme shame made my head hurt, and after pushing him away, I turned around and walked out.

Just as I was about to open the door, a pair of hands suddenly reached out from behind my back and slammed the door shut again, holding me between them.

I turned around, and he was standing behind me, with his hands propped up on the door panel behind me, just looking at me.

His expression was tired, and the tense haze between his brows grew heavier, and when he looked down at me, it seemed that he was not only looking at me, but also at many knots that he could not untie.

He looked at me with a sigh of relief, his eyes sinking deeper and deeper, as if he was struggling with something, and after a long time, he gently reached out and stroked my tear-stained cheeks.

"Light ......"
