Chapter 67: Xiao Xiao's Remnant Shadow Locks the Deep Palace
He took my hand forward, the night wind blew, my head was a little dizzy, my body was slightly crooked, he picked me up, I screamed, but he didn't realize it, just pressed me in his arms. The long skirt hung down on the ground, draped and dragged to the ground.
He walked so fast that I could only feel the night breeze running through my long hair, strands fluttering and wrapping around the buttons of his shirt. I tried to pull it, but it hurt my scalp......
Along the way, the palace maids and eunuchs all knelt on the ground and didn't dare to look up at his iron blue face, and the Fengzhi Palace was very quiet, only Huaibi and Mu Hibiscus followed behind and waited.
The door was slammed open, and he threw me the bed, and I pushed him harder, but he tore my clothes harder.
Huaibi and Hibiscus fell to their knees in fright.
"Get out!"
They were startled, and immediately retreated, closing the door outside. I watched the door shut, as if all my hopes were closed. He tore the hem of my shirt with all his might, and I could already see deep red marks on my fair skin. He pressed on my body, with a crazy light in his eyes, I was like a trapped little beast, suddenly bit him hard, he snorted, but he didn't care at all, did not stop the movement of his hand, soon, I only had a bandeau skirt left on my body, I slapped him in the face with all my strength, and he stumbled.
"Are you crazy?" I screamed at him.
He stood in front of me, wiped the blood from the corners of his mouth, and sneered low: "Am I crazy or are you crazy?" Do you know that this is your duty as a queen? ”
I snorted coldly: "Empress? Do you think I want to be this queen?! ”
"And what do you want to do?" He stood in front of me and pinched my chin. This position was so aggressive that I wanted to shake him off, but I couldn't move at all: "Do you want to be Princess Jing?" A trace of pain crossed his eyes: "Su Ruo, don't you have a heart?" I've given so much for you, don't you feel it at all? ”
"You pay for me?" I was forced to look up at him: "You used Hao Xi to force me to marry you, trapped me in this cage, humiliated Hao Qian with me, and humiliated me with Yue Peining!" Is this what you're paying for? ”
"I use you to humiliate Hao Qian? Humiliate you with Yue Peining? He looked at me with a sneer.
"Isn't it humiliating for you to let me appear in front of him in that phoenix robe? You asked me to take off the purple jade jade bracelet, isn't that humiliating? You forced Yue Peining to Hao Qian's side, isn't it humiliating? You obviously know that Hao Qian's illness has not been cured, and you know that Yueheng's soldiers are pressing the realm, at this time, you let Hao Qian go to the battlefield, don't you want his life! ”
He stood there, looked at me coldly, his face was full of sorrow, and said for a while: "It turns out that in your heart I am like this!" ”
I cowered in the corner and watched her warily.
He looked at me for a long time, and suddenly smiled: "Su Ruo, have you never loved me?" ”
I gritted my teeth, looked at his blood-red eyes, and felt that he was terrifying, and I shook my head: "No! ”
He suddenly laughed, laughed, as if he had encountered something funny, his waist couldn't straighten up, a moment later, I saw his tears slowly flowing out, he looked at me, looked at me deeply, slowly, word by word: "I used to love you very seriously, I really want to be with you for the rest of my life, after marrying you, I haven't even been to any concubine palace, I used to think that as long as I work hard, one day you will fall in love with me, but, I was wrong!" Couldn't be more wrong! He looked at me, using almost all his strength to barely control himself: "You have no heart!" Whatever I do! You don't have a heart! In that case, then you can stay here! Although I can't get your heart, I can get your people! ”
After he said this, as if he didn't want to look at me anymore, he turned and left......
I sat silently on the corner of the bed, tears rolling down, I knew that all the fate between us had finally been wiped out......
I wiped away my tears, got up calmly, and came in with tears to bathe and change my clothes, she had never seen Ling Haoxuan like this, she must have been frightened, I comforted her a few words, only to know that Ling Haoxuan actually sealed my palace door. I curled my lips slightly, and a sneer broke out in my heart, even so, could he still trap me.
I changed my clothes and sat calmly in front of the dresser, looking at the resentment of the original elegant face in this deep palace. Is this still me? That agent who was born and died without even blinking an eye is now looking like this! I sighed slightly, waved my hand, and told Huaibi to step back.
The spring breeze has arrived, I sit by the quiet lake, under the soft shimmer of light, looking up at the moon, the moonlight is like water......
Ling Haoxuan hadn't been to Fengzhi Palace for many days, which was expected, and I wasn't even surprised. In Mu Hibiscus's mouth, I vaguely knew that Ling Haoxuan lingered among the concubines every day, Concubine Hui had regained her freedom, and Concubine Lan had also been appeased by heavy rewards. When I heard the news, I didn't have any happy or unhappy expressions, and my mood didn't even fluctuate much, and from the day I married him, I already expected that we would eventually become a couple......
"Ruo'er"
I looked back silently and was surprised to see Jiayi behind me, her face was pale and ugly, even more haggard than me in the palace.
I got up, greeted her, and forced a smile on the corners of my lips, "Why are you here?" ”
She stepped forward and took my hand: "Why are you sitting by the lake on such a cold day?" I'm not afraid of catching a cold! She rubbed my hand gently, trying to warm it up.
I smiled and said disapprehantly, "It's already spring, it's not that serious!" With that, I pulled my hand back and pulled her towards the main hall.
She helped me sit down, and then continued: "I heard that Fengzhi Palace was sealed, Master Su, Zhengqing, and the fourth and fifth brothers all went to the emperor to intercede, but the emperor has been avoiding it. In desperation, Master Su and Zhengqing knelt at the gate of Taihe Hall for a day, and the emperor agreed, let me enter the palace to see you! ”
My heart couldn't help but hurt, I thought that all this was done by myself, even if something really happened, it was up to me to bear it, but I didn't expect that it would affect others, and it was also the people closest to me.
"How are the second brother and Zhengqing now?" I grabbed her hand tightly, and my body couldn't help but tremble.
"Now Master Su is in our house, waiting for my news." She sighed faintly: "Brother Huang is not an unreasonable person, and he has also cared for you all these years, why did you get to such a point......
My heart ached again, yes! How did you get into such a field?! Even before entering the palace, I was forced to be helpless, but after stepping into this palace gate, didn't I already die? Why do you still resist him so much in your heart?! My heart ached uncontrollably, I was still wrong, I put him in an equal position with myself, but how could it be equal? How could we have been husband and wife in the normal sense, for him, I was a courtier first and then a wife, how could he tolerate me to challenge his authority again and again......
Seeing that my face was full of sorrow, she finally couldn't bear to criticize me, and continued: "No matter what happened before, you are now a queen after all, and you must not be childish anymore! ”
I nodded and smiled bitterly: "Maybe I always had some unwillingness in my heart before, so I inadvertently brought out some traces, not to mention, Hao Qian was about to leave, he stimulated Hao Qian so much, I was annoyed in my heart, so I did these impolite things, and I don't blame him for being angry!" ”
She nodded silently: "It's good if you understand!" In the past, I saw the friendship between you and the second imperial brother, and I really hoped that you could marry Qin and Jin, but because of fate, you married the imperial brother, no matter what, forget about the past......"
I know what she said is right, but I unconsciously resist in my heart, is it so dead? Peace of mind, down-to-earth as he wishes, to be his noble and elegant, obedient queen......
Seeing that I was silent, she knew that I was still unwilling, and after struggling for a while, she finally spoke: "Ruo'er, I didn't want to tell you, Master Su and Zhengqing have also repeatedly asked you, for fear that you will be sad, but now I can't take care of it." After that banquet, the second emperor brother was ill, and now he is still recuperating from his injuries in the house, and I am afraid that he will not be able to return to Minzhou in a short time. ”
"What did you say?" I was taken aback.
She sighed, "Yes, the second emperor brother is sick again!" Before his father died, in order to protect the emperor, he was inevitably anxious for quick success, and several major battles were desperate, especially in the big war before rushing back to the capital, he was injured by a stray arrow, for the emperor's great cause, he did not treat it in time, and he reluctantly insisted on rushing back, leaving hidden dangers, so he fell ill again and again. ”
I held my heart with one hand, and supported it on the couch with the other hand, my heart hurt like a knife, Hao Qian He was so badly injured, but he didn't show a single inch in front of me, no wonder he didn't appear in front of me immediately after returning to Beijing, I always thought he was guarding the tomb for the emperor, and I had blamed him in private, but I didn't expect it to be because he was seriously injured......
"Ruo'er, I know that you and the second emperor brother have a deep relationship, but if you and the emperor go down like this, it can only make the second emperor brother more difficult to let go, and it will also make his situation more difficult, do you know this......
In my ears, Jiayi's earnest whispers kept ringing, but my heart was throbbing involuntarily, I vaguely realized my mistakes, and finally understood that because of my willfulness, I hurt all the people around me......
Jiayi finally left, after getting my promise, I knew that she was not at ease, and I knew that I had too many insincere words, but I had no choice, I couldn't let my second brother worry about me anymore, and I couldn't make Zhengqing and Jiayi feel bad because of me, let alone make Haoqian's situation more difficult, from the day I chose to step into the palace, I should have thought of all this, but I let myself go with Ling Haoxuan's connivance, and finally made a big mistake......
