Chapter 59
The night is closed, the snow is all over the wilderness, and there is a faint trace of special aroma in the cold, pure and clear. In the distance, I saw him standing quietly in the courtyard, the faint moonlight spreading on his body, outlining his thin and straight back.
I stood silently, suddenly not knowing how to take my steps, and suddenly he looked back, and it was an extremely bright face, with eyes as deep and clear as an ancient spring, a slightly pale face, and a calm and deep gaze, cold and thorough.
Suddenly my tears fell, dripping on the snow-white ground, and the melted snow melted away, and brown dots appeared on the ground.
I suddenly couldn't control myself, and suddenly rushed over and hugged the motionless Haoqian, and the hot tears burned on his clothes, and it was a moment of confusion. He reached out and grabbed me, tilted his head, closed his eyes, the moonlight outlined his delicate jaw, and under his long eyelashes, there was a thin stream of water.
The light fragrance is slightly attacked, his lips have been pressed on my cold lips, lips and teeth are connected, but there is no romance and charm, only the slight saltiness of tears, his lips are on my lips, generally cold, soaked by the tears that slowly slide between the lips, bitter and sour. I suddenly realized that this gentlemanly and elegant man may no longer belong to me from this moment, this warm embrace is no longer my reliance, this recognition makes my heart sour, it turns out that he has long integrated into my world, it turns out that he will really leave me, I looked at him in a daze, and more tears welled up.
His lips slowly moved away from mine, his fingertips running lightly across my cheeks.
"Ruo'er, don't cry, don't cry, I'll always think of a way." His voice trembled faintly, and his eyes were dark and dark.
I didn't say anything more, just silently looked up. His face was as white as ever, but so pale that it was bloodless. He hugged me so hard that he almost held me in his arms.
"Hao Qian!" I reached out and wrapped my arms around his waist, "...... later"
I'm afraid I'll never be able to be by your side again......
I opened my lips slightly, but the words were blocked in my throat, and I couldn't spit out a word, I didn't know what to say, and I didn't even have the courage to say it......
As if sensing my unspoken words, a misty mist appeared in his eyes, he lowered his head and kissed away my tears, but the tears were like bursting banks, and they were out of control......
"Ruo'er, don't do this, don't ...... like this" His lips trembled slightly, he no longer knew what he was preventing, but he was faintly aware that perhaps, he couldn't stop anything......
"Haoqian, I ......" I closed my eyes slightly, not knowing how to face the man in front of me, gasping deeply, but still breathless.
"Haoqian, I can't be so selfish, I can't be ......" I couldn't cry.
He looked at me quietly, but there was a storm in his eyes.
I don't know how to face him, these days, I think about him day and night, thinking about him, but when he really stands in front of me, I can't help but feel sad. On the one hand, I rationally told myself that this was right, only in this way could Hao Xi be released from prison safely, and only in this way would there be no chaos in the situation that Tianyu had just stabilized. But on the other hand, I can't help but want to escape, to escape from those responsibilities that do not belong to me, to escape from those love-hate entanglements, and I just want to leave and wander the world with him. I knew that if I opened my mouth, he would take me away, but, even though I knew, I couldn't, I had my own helplessness. And just like that, my heart turned upside down, my tears rolled down involuntarily, and I tried hard to control myself from looking at him, knowing that with a single glance, all my determination would collapse in an instant......
"Ruo'er!" After a long time, he finally couldn't help but sigh softly, "I know you're blaming me, blaming me for why I can't ask my father for marriage early, why can't I take you out of this land of right and wrong." His voice was so low, with powerless despair: "Countless times, I have had this thought, but I have never been able to make up my mind, I know that it is my incompetence, not only can I not protect the third brother, but also cannot take you away." For example, today Yu is surrounded by enemies on both sides, the frontier is unstable, and the country left by my father, I can't bear to put myself in danger because of my own selfishness, in the end, I have failed you......"
I raised my eyes to look at him suddenly, and the tears soaked in my eyes fell on my brocade quilt like broken beads at this moment, my lips trembled slightly, and I couldn't speak, but I barely blurted out: "How can I blame you!" How could I blame you! It's not your fault! ”
I kept asking myself these days, if one day he did come to me and take me out of here, would I leave, I didn't dare to think about it, I didn't want to think about it, I was almost sure of my answer, I wouldn't. Because of Haoxi, because of my apologies to him, because without his knowledge, I silently watched him step by step towards failure, and finally ended up in prison. I knew that if I had said or done anything during this period, even if he would not have ascended to the throne, the end would never have been so bleak, but I didn't, I didn't do anything, I just watched indifferently, I thought I could save him, even if it was the most irreparable, I could at least save his life, but I overestimated myself......
However, even so, I still wanted to escape, I wanted to immerse myself in my happiness, I wanted to stay away. I even wondered if my choice was just the right thing for Hao Qian's brotherhood. I even wanted to hate him, I wanted to hate everyone with all my might, but I knew that no one could force me, except myself! I'm just selfishly trying to fulfill my guilt for Haoxi, yes! Haoxi, that's my only weakness!
I have never been so helpless for a moment, sobbing softly, the sudden heartache like a knife slashing my heart, the heartache made me bend myself together, like a fetus in a mother's body, tears first fell one by one without warning, and then gradually I could not restrain myself, I finally exhausted all my strength,
He frowned slightly, staring at me quietly, seeing every inch clearly......
He seemed to know my choice, and read despair clearly in those tears, his eyes closed, and two streams of water slowly slid down his face. After a long time, he stepped forward slightly and kissed my cold lips, which trembled slightly, and he couldn't even control it, and tears slid down the cheeks of the two of them, entangled together, and he couldn't tell you and me......
As the day was about to break, I finally looked up at him, and his eyes were as dim as dusty pearls......
"Haoqian, let it go!" Sadness flowed between my lips and teeth, and I tried to control the trembling at the corners of my lips and try to make myself look as free as possible: "If this is my life, then I will confess ......"
His figure flickered slightly, his clear eyes were shrouded in mist, with indescribable sadness, there was no impurity in his eyes, so pure that he could only fit me alone, he seemed to want to say something, opened his mouth, but could not speak.
In the distance, there was the sound of a man beating a watch, like broken porcelain, piercing the silence of the night and breaking all the good ......
Whether you want it or not, the end of the wedding is coming!
I sat silently in the room, at the mercy of Xi Niang, and outside were the eldest brother and the second brother!
For my wedding, the eldest brother rushed back from Jincheng, and when he saw my emaciated face, he could barely contain his emotions and wanted to go to the palace to ask the emperor for an explanation. I stopped him! Oh, yes! I can't let go of Hao Xi, and I can't let go of Hao Qian.
I know that the eldest brother is friendly with Hao Qian, and I have thought about the army under their command, but I know that Tianyu is Hao Qian's home, and it is impossible for him to destroy his own home under the eyes of the enemy country!
Joy has risen, and I know that the one who welcomes me has come. It was Ling Haoqing, he exchanged a few words with his eldest brother and second brother, and then came to the room to see me.
I wore a bright red eight-group colorful cloud dragon and phoenix Tongheji robe, and a stone blue eight-group dragon and phoenix Tongheji gown, decorated with five bronze gilt chisel flower buckles. The embroidery is exquisite, the patterns are rich and colorful, the head is wearing a gold silk eight treasures to save beads, and the five phoenixes of the morning sun are hung with beads, showing the gorgeous and noble spirit of the mother and the noble status of the queen, the whole person looks solemn and elegant, so that people dare not force to look.
He looked at me deeply, but there was indescribable sadness in his eyes, the palace has never been a place where secrets can be hidden, the recurrence of Hao Qian's old injuries that day, coupled with the emperor's strange will, and the hasty marriage gift, how could he not think of everything. He sighed, walked up to me, leaned forward slightly, and said softly, "Let's go!" ”
I nodded calmly, without a trace of wanting to cry, I said goodbye to the eldest brother and the second brother in a regular manner, and walked silently along the smooth bluestone slab, from time to time a long wind swept the dead leaves and fell, gently touching my dress. In the cold courtyard, a piece of dead grass was reborn, and the courtyard looked more and more desolate. I silently stepped onto the fiery carriage, and as I was about to step into it, I looked back, and I knew he must be watching me, watching me step by step......
The sky is clear, the wind is high and the clouds are light, Luanfeng car starts from Sufu, all the way around Zhengyang Gate, Chongyang Gate, Zhongzheng Gate, until Zhengyuan Palace, and goes in the direction of the palace.
Along the way, the people knelt on the ground, and when they saw the driver, they all shouted Chitose, their foreheads were buried deep in the ground, dusty, and the axles left deep and shallow marks on the official road......
Along the way, Ling Haoqing was unusually quiet. I suddenly smiled: "Do you remember when we were children, we went out of the palace with Haochen to enjoy the lanterns?" ”
He smiled, his eyes full of recollection: "How fast! It looks like it's right in front of you! ”
"yes!" I smiled faintly, "It was so good when I was a child!" We always quarrel, but we still play together afterwards. ”
He smiled, but was full of bitterness: "Ruo'er, are you okay?" ”
I smiled and looked up at him, "Is there anything else wrong with me?" ”
He sighed and looked at me: "You married into our Ling family, it's just that I didn't expect that you loved the second brother!" ”
I didn't want to laugh, but I did, yes! Who would have thought that a joke from childhood would become a prophecy!
