CHAPTER XVI
I was still asleep, I was awakened by a noise, the moment I opened my eyes, I was facing Haoxuan's affectionate eyes looking at me with a smile, seeing that I was awake, I said softly: "You are awake!" ”
"Hmm!" I smiled at him, but I saw that his face was haggard, and it looked as if he hadn't slept all night, so I asked him, "Have you not slept all night?" ”
He only replied to me, "Watching you sleep, I'm satisfied." ”
Leaning on his shoulder, I looked at the light shining in from the tiny skylight, and muttered, "The sun seems to be very strong outside!" ”
Hao Xuan followed my gaze and looked up, then looked down at me again, "Zhen Luo, you'll be fine." ”
I smiled, "Haoxuan, if I'm fine, you'll be okay too, have you forgotten that we are a family, and I am your side princess." ”
Haoxuan's body trembled, and he reached out to hug me tightly, and I could feel that he seemed to be trembling a little.
At this moment, there was the sound of unlocking, and Haoxuan and I both looked at the cell door at the same time, and the jailer was opening the cell. Standing up with each other, I was a little astringent and shivering, thinking that it was not a good thing. Haoxuan seemed to know what I was thinking, hugged me tighter, and whispered in my ear: "Don't be afraid! ”
The moment he stepped into the prison door, an ominous premonition crept into his heart, stared at us for a moment, and then said to Haoxuan: "Lord, the emperor invites you to go to Chonghua Palace, please follow the slaves into the palace now!" ”
Before Haoxuan could speak, I pursed my lips, "I don't know if my father-in-law can tell me that the emperor summoned the prince, what happened?" ”
Father-in-law Yu was stunned for a while, and then replied respectfully, "The slave doesn't know what happened, and the prince went and knew it." ”
Haoxuan patted me on the shoulder, smiling brightly, not seeing a trace of abnormality, "I'll go back as soon as I go, don't be afraid, I will always be by your side." ”
I nodded slightly, grabbed his hand tightly, and told him to come back quickly, I would wait for him.
To the moon and the wind, a thousand sorrows are sprinkled with a slight coolness.
The moon outside the skylight glowed like a translucent light, and in the past, I would have had many different reveries, but now, there were no thoughts in my head, and it was blank.
In the middle of the night, a very quiet wind blew in through the skylight, gently blowing a few strands of hair on my forehead, and I kept staring at the bright moon hanging in the sky, without being affected by other influences.
It wasn't until a pair of hands rubbed on my shoulders that I suddenly came back to my senses, looked back at Haoxuan's smiling face, and my heart suddenly relaxed a lot, and I threw myself into his arms and whispered: "I thought you wouldn't come back." ”
He branded a kiss on my forehead, "Silly girl, I said I'll go back when I go over, why don't you come back" His voice was so warm.
I smiled angrily, "What time is it now, you still said you will go back!" ”
Hao Xuan still had a smile on his face, and his hands shuttled back and forth between the green silk I had draped, but he didn't speak. He didn't tell me what the emperor had said when he summoned him, and I didn't ask him.
I know his heart all the better, and if he wants to say it to me, he won't hide it from me.
In the early morning, when the sky was just dawning, Haoxuan still had no sleep all night, sitting in the center of the cell and looking out of the skylight in a daze for a long time, looking very haggard.
I woke up and just looked at him quietly, not wanting to disturb him.
When he came back to his senses, he was stunned at first when he saw me behind him, and then said softly: "Why did you wake up so early!" I don't sleep much! ”
I smiled and said nothing, and he spoke again, his voice turning low and hoarse, "After Mu Ling's death, I haven't seen her for the last time. ”
"Mu Ling's funeral, the emperor once said that he would be buried with a generous ceremony, you don't have to worry. If one day, we can get out of this cell together, and we will worship her again. Although I comforted him with my mouth, my heart was very sad, because I did not know if there was a day or not.
Hao Xuan smiled bitterly, and said to me with a slight apology: "I really hope that she is dead now, if she is not dead, she will be reduced to a prisoner, and after death, she will not be buried properly, and maybe, she will be abandoned in the wilderness." ”
My smile was retracted by his words, and I asked him with questions: "Haoxuan, have you ever loved her?" ”
His expression froze, and he walked up to me and hugged me into his arms, "In my life, I have only loved one person, the girl next to Mrs. Chu back then." ”
His eyes gradually became steamy, and his heart was very uncomfortable, and he replied to him in a trembling voice: "Haoxuan, if this person has never loved you, will you be disappointed?" "At this point, I really want to ask him this, I don't want to deceive him, and I don't want to deceive myself anymore.
Just because, for Haoxuan, I am more moved.
His body gradually became stiff, and it was a long time before he heard him whisper: "I will not be disappointed, I will wait until the day when this person falls in love with me." ”
Tears, wet his clothes!
At noon, Haoxuan and I were talking and laughing, and Father-in-law Yu came to the cell again, I thought that Liuyun was going to Xuan Haoxuan to enter the palace again, so I looked at him, but he sat in the corner and did not speak, nor did he make any movements.
Father-in-law Yu just smiled and ordered the jailer to open the cell door, and then said to me, "Miss Liu, please go with the miscellaneous family." "He didn't call me the princess, and this Liu girl seemed to draw a boundary between me and Haoxuan.
I was a little stunned, glanced at Father-in-law Yu, and then looked at Haoxuan, who was always sitting in the corner, and did not answer.
After a long time, Hao Xuan slowly got up and walked to my side, a smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Go!" ”
I shook my head slightly, "I don't want to go, it's all death anyway, it's the same wherever I go." ”
Haoxuan was shocked by my words, and then whispered in my ear, "Zhen Luo, I know the emperor wants to see you, go!" Perhaps, the emperor will see the friendship you once had with him and will let you go. ”
"No, we've been strangers for a long time, Haoxuan, I don't want to ask anyone, let alone him." I ignored his words and took a very tough attitude.
Hao Xuan always kept a faint smile on his face, and finally said to me in my ear: "The emperor summoned me yesterday to tell me that he didn't want me to die, but it is impossible for the two of us to be pardoned together, so it is really criticized, so the emperor said that he will come up with two methods, after all, I am his own brother, and you are always the woman he loved." ”
Stunned, I stared at him in disbelief, and only after a half sound did I spit out my words, "What did you say... It's all true? ”
He bowed his head and said again: "When did I lie to you, Zhen Luo, I will never deceive you, go!" ”
Staring at the smile on his face that never went away, my heart relaxed a lot and no longer had scruples, I finally agreed, "Then I'll go, I'll be back soon, you wait for me!" ”
Hao Xuan nodded at me, his expression still made me not see a clue.
I was taken to Chonghua Palace by Father-in-law Yu, and after I was properly settled in the Zhaoren Palace, he said to me: "From now on, Miss Liu will live in the Zhaoren Palace for the time being. ”
I was very surprised, I mentioned the lotus foot and hurriedly walked outside the hall, but was blocked by the guards of the Zhaoren Palace, looked back at Gonggong Yu, and asked him puzzledly: "Isn't the emperor going to summon me?" If the emperor is not there, I will go back first, and when the emperor returns, I will come again. ”
Father-in-law Yu walked to my side, "The emperor has had a lot of political affairs recently, and I also asked Miss Liu to live here temporarily." ”
It seems that it was arranged by Liuyun again, but I can't stay here now, Haoxuan is still waiting for me.
When I was thinking about it, there was a sound of the door closing, and I suddenly panicked, and rushed forward to push the wooden door, but there was no response.
"Song Liu?" Xiyun's voice came from behind me, I turned around suddenly, and a bright smile appeared on her face, and she walked quickly to me and took my hand, and said excitedly: "Song Liu, it's really you!" I thought that the emperor had no feelings for you anymore, but now, you are here, which proves that the emperor has never forgotten you. ”
I looked at her blankly, I didn't understand what she said, and I didn't want to understand.
"Xiyun, where is the emperor!" I'm happy to see her, but now I have more important things to ask for.
Xiyun smiled, "The emperor hasn't returned to Zhaoren Hall for a few days, and he stays in Wuying Hall to deal with political affairs. King Ding'an rebelled, this matter is not trivial, the emperor is not a ruthless person, how to say, King Ding'an is his own brother. ”
Hearing her words, I couldn't help but show a look of joy, and hurriedly asked her: "What do you mean by this, does the emperor not want Haoxuan to die?" ”
Xiyun was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly, and said tremblingly: "Rebellion is a big crime of the Nine Clans, although King Ding'an is a royal prince, he cannot be pardoned." ”
My body was a little weak, and I slowly sat down on the ground, "In this way, Haoxuan is certain to die?" ”
Xiyun squatted down and helped me up, and his movements were very gentle, "Song Liu, you were originally the concubine of the king of Ding'an, and it stands to reason that you are also a capital crime." I've been worried about this for a long time, and now that the emperor has placed you in the Zhaoren Palace, he must not want you to die. ”
I sneered a few times, staring blankly at the door that blocked me, "You don't want me to die, why did you need me to marry King Ding'an in the first place, now that Mu Ling is dead, I am Haoxuan's only wife, since ancient times, Haoxuan can't live, what am I going to do when I live?" Besides, rebellion is a big crime, is it possible that the emperor can still do whatever he wants, and he can save whoever he wants? But he forgot that my current identity is the concubine of King Ding'an. ”
Xiyun listened to my words, stared at me anxiously, and said eagerly: "Song Liu, you must not think like this, it is a good thing to be able to live, and the prince doesn't want you to die with him, don't you know?" On the day the prince went to Mobei, he had already written a letter of resignation and abandoned you, so before he rebelled, you had nothing to do with him, and the emperor took you out of prison this time, thinking that it was also because of the letter of resignation. ”
Xiyun's words made me so shocked that I couldn't spit out a word for a long time, and my whole body froze.
Haoxuan, on the fifth day of our marriage, on the day he went to Mobei, he had already abandoned me? Could it be that at that time, he knew that he would have today, because he was afraid of affecting me, so he ......
"I'm going back to prison, I'm going to ask him what's going on, Haoxuan, he won't abandon me." Ignoring Xiyun's surprised eyes, I rushed to the closed door of the temple.
Xiyun stopped me, and his voice was not calm, "Song Liu, you can't go, even if you go, you can't change anything, that letter of resignation is now in the emperor's hands." ”
Suddenly looked back at Xiyun and stomped back, "You say... What... In the emperor... Hand? ”
