Chapter Twenty-Three: No Change in This Life
As the night darkened, many shops were closed, and the lanterns that were bright and festive were extinguished. The brightly lit streets seem to have regained their tranquility in the blink of an eye, making one suspect that the hustle and bustle just now is nothing more than a mirage.
Because it was a sunny day, the stars tonight were unusually bright, and they even compared the bright moon. I sat quietly in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked at the bright starry sky tonight, and smelled a hint of sadness.
It is said that touching the scene gives birth to love, but at this moment I don't know if this starry sky has affected my love, or has my love changed this starry sky?
When Wu Yi returned to the carriage, I was leaning my head against the wall of the carriage, and when the curtain was lifted, a small cool breeze blew in, and the wind carried the smell of wine, and it seemed that he had drunk a lot of wine.
"Tea. He lay down in the carriage with his head tilted back and closed his eyes, and tiredly stretched out his hand and pointed to the tea bowl on the table.
I poured him a bowl of tea, but instead of handing it to him, I asked, "Why did Your Highness suddenly change your mind?"
He opened his eyes and looked at me, sat up and took the bowl of tea from my hand, and took a few sips before saying, "Because I regret it." ”
"Regret?" I frowned slightly, "Could it be that Zhao Gao already knew about this assassination?"
"He didn't know. Wu Yi put the empty teacup back on the table, and suddenly it tilted and fell sideways on my lap.
"Your Highness!" As if I had been struck by lightning, I panicked and tried to push him away, but he grabbed my wrist.
"Be quiet, I'm tired. His voice was indeed tired, and although I was reluctant, I did not push him again, but sat stiffly.
"Arou. He put my hand to my face and let out a long sigh, "I'm drunk." ”
"I know you're drunk. I was a little amused and a little helpless, "If you weren't drunk, how could you do such a thing?"
"I'm not very drunk. He said to himself, "I have drunk a pot of poisoned wine, and I have been poisoned to the core." ”
Poisoning?!My heart jumped violently, could it be that Zhao Gao poisoned the banquet today?!
"Why do you want to drink it when you know it's poisonous?!" After speaking, he hurriedly shouted outside the car: "Anshun! Go back to the Star Garden!
Wu Yi suddenly laughed, he smiled very lightly and happily, as if something very comfortable had happened to him.
"Your Highness?" I was nervous and looked down to look at him, but he suddenly turned to face me, and the black eyes in the fox's eyes were as bright as stars.
"Okay, Arou, are you worried about me?" he put my hand to his lips and said softly, "You are so worried about me, and you don't blame me, you say, how can you make me so affectionate?"
Affectionately? I glared at him and said in disbelief, "What did you say, Your Highness, when did I become affectionate to you?"
"You don't have to hide it. He closed his eyes very happily and chuckled: "The woman is so reserved, it is reasonable that you don't want to say it, I don't care about you." In this way, seeing that you are so affectionate to me, I have granted your wish and allowed you to stay by my side for the rest of your life, no matter what happens in the next life, but this life will not change."
"Your Highness, don't talk nonsense!" I was a little angry, but after thinking about it, he was still poisoned, and it was very likely that he would say this because he was delirious, so he shouted outside the car again: "Anshun! Hurry up! Your Highness has already started talking nonsense!"
Wu Yi's face, which was still happy just now, immediately cooled down, he sat up, lifted the curtain and said to An Shun helplessly: "Don't pay attention to her, I am not poisoned." ”
"Not poisoned?!" I only felt depressed in my heart: "But you just said ......"
"You are the only woman in this world who is so incomprehensible. Wu Yi took out the fan and fanned it vigorously, he seemed to be a little annoyed, and then closed the fan and knocked it on my head.
I looked at him in amazement, wondering why he was knocking me.
"It seems that Bing Xue is smart, why is he so sluggish at this time?" he was a little depressed, as if I had really done something that I shouldn't have done.
"The leaves are pale, and the white dew is frost. The so-called Iraqi people are on the water side. Tracing back to it, the road is obstructive and long. ......He pointed his fan at me, and suddenly smiled enchantingly: "It's like in the middle of the water." ”
I was so frightened that my body trembled like a wrinkle in the wind, and I couldn't help but move backwards, staring at him against the wall of the car, unable to say a word.
Wu Yi probably didn't expect me to react like this, he was stunned for a moment, then frowned dissatisfiedly, looked at me coldly and said, "What?
"Your Highness......" I lowered my eyes from him and whispered, "Don't laugh." ”
"Joke?" he grabbed my chin and forced me to look at him, a flash of anger in his eyes, "In your opinion, my true feelings are just a joke?"
"But if Your Highness were me, what would I do at this time?" I smiled wryly, "What can I do but hide from a man who asked me to sacrifice my life to take the enemy's head a few days ago, but today suddenly says that he has feelings for me?"
"You still complain about me......" Wu Yi sneered, shook me off, and said with a cold face: "Since you still complain about me, why do you want Anshun to hand over that handkerchief to me, so that I am so concerned about you?" Arou, you are really a liar. ”
"I didn't lie to you. "I curled up in the corner of the carriage, clasped my hands on my knees, and buried my face in the light veil of my skirt, letting my tears wet me.
"I don't resent Your Highness, but I'm just an ordinary person, and I can't turn a blind eye to what you did before. Your Highness, please give me time, and when I am strong enough to forgive the conspiracy and exploitation, I will definitely face up to His Highness's feelings. My voice was a little choked, and I pleaded, "Just now, only now, please allow me to miss for a long time." Because he is the ...... of this world The only one who has no blood with me, but who holds me as a treasure. ”
Wu Yi's eyes moved slightly, he clenched his fists and opened his mouth, but he was silent again. He reached out and hugged me into his arms, his pointed chin against my head, his heart pounding in his chest.
The man who was going to put me on the execution ground for the sake of profit ended up feeling in love with me, and the man who was supposed to protect me for the rest of his life kept me behind for the sake of responsibility and the country. Everyone has their own choice, Changxi finally chose Jiangshan, but Wuyi chose me in the end.
It's ironic.
I suddenly remembered that at this time last summer, it was also a starry night, I sat in the courtyard with Xiao Xu and drank tea, the air was filled with the fragrance of flowers, and the evening breeze was quiet and serene. She smiled lightly and told me that she knew a guard named Qin Yuqi, who was gentle and considerate, and was the clearest cloud in her heart. And I listened to her quietly, and planted a name called "Changxi" deeply in my heart.
"Cher. She prickly deeply, lowered her eyes and smiled, and said lightly: "People live for a lifetime, and there are ten unsatisfactory things." I don't know if he can be outside of this '**', but if it is, I wish it would be long. ”
If possible, I hope this will last for a long time.
