Chapter V: Decisions

Broken shadow dancing remnant sun, delicate eyebrows, beautiful orchid posture.

Hatred accumulates, and all feelings are cold, like in a dream.

Looking at himself in the bronze mirror, there is no innocence at the beginning. Now I'm really tired, just like the bottom of my heart, and gradually covered with a layer of invisible wounds.

The bottom of my eyes has long been dry, and I now realize that the happiness in front of me no longer belongs to me.

No matter how hard you try, it's all in vain.

After all this experience, I can no longer be with Liuyun as if I had never been born at all.

Because all I could see was my blood-stained hands. Even though I didn't kill them with my own hands, I still held the knife.

Probably, my heart is like ashes, so I can have such feelings.

At this point, it was late at night. And beside me, I can no longer see the person I want to see.

As if in the middle, the scene of Xiyun combing my temples appeared in the bronze mirror, which made me dumbfounded.

As if in the middle, I heard Yulan's sweet voice when she called me "Miss", which was melodious.

In front of him, it seemed to be dyed red, and he saw the blood shed by Hao Xuan when he died, which was stark and dazzling.

I asked myself secretly, Zhen Luo, in this life, will you still live with peace of mind?

They are all people I regard as my relatives, and now that they are dead, I will not live in peace. To Haoxuan, it is a deep apology. For Xiyun, it is a strong nostalgia. For Yulan, it is a deep remorse.

In a trance, I lightly opened my lips: "Caidie, go and ask the emperor to come over!" Tell him that Hongu wants to see him! ”

Caidie answered, and left my dormitory.

Even if Liuyun feels that there is nothing, I can't be calm.

It's time to say goodbye to Liuyun.

Suddenly, I got up and looked around the hall, it was cold, and all that was left for me was cold.

Once when Xiyun was by her side, I could always hear her nagging. Now in the whole palace, no one even dares to say a word in front of me, let alone nag.

The moment Liuyun pushed the door in, I just arranged for myself the rhombic sideburns that Xiyun used to make for me in the past.

A floral dress set off me a little quietly. That's what I should have been.

So, what I want to leave to him is also my original appearance.

His gaze froze slightly, "Zhen Luo, you..."

I smiled happily, but I didn't know that behind this smiling face, there was a great deal of pain.

"Liuyun, you're here!" I stretched out my slender hand.

He froze for a moment, then slowly walked over to me and took my hand.

The night was very dark, and there was a dead silence all around, so quiet that only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard.

"Zhen Luo!" He looked at me affectionately, "You are beautiful today!" ”

I lowered my eyebrows, and kept a smile on my face the whole time.

"Liuyun, I can still recall the first time I saw you, and your cold arrogance and loneliness instantly touched me. Even though I didn't know who you were at that time, it made my empty heart more fulfilling. I raised my eyes and stared at his still handsome face, but in the past few years, there have been a little more vicissitudes.

He stretched out his hand to wrap me into his arms, his arms were still so warm, but here, after all, was not my Zhen Luo's final destination.

"Zhen Luo, I know, I made you lose too much. But I promise that we are happy. His tone was calm and natural, but there was an inexplicable sourness in my heart, and I wanted to cry.

met his gentle gaze, at this time, it was all full of affection for me. It would be nice if, from the very beginning, we were.

In this palace, is there any truth that is true without any meaning.

"Liuyun, are you willing to give up this world for me?" I don't know why I asked him that.

His body trembled slightly, and for a long time, he didn't come back to his senses from my words. Think about it, it's really funny, the world, since you are in that position, it is so easy to give up.

In this position, he even did not hesitate to take advantage of me and the people around him. Now, I actually asked him if he would give up.

He furrowed a pair of brows, his expression a little more complicated, "You... Wish I was for you... Give up the world? ”

Vaguely, I could feel that he couldn't answer my question, so he asked me back.

Putting away Fang Cai's anticipation, I smiled, "I shouldn't, ask you such a question." ”

He clenched my hands and asked again in a deep voice, "You really want me to give up this world for you!" ”

I stared blankly at him, yes, I really hope you can give up the world for me. Let's find a quiet place and live a quick life. But I couldn't say that.

"You are the emperor, since you are the emperor, you have to think about the people of the world. I was stupid enough to ask you that. I smiled and tried to look calm.

He let go of my hand, looked out of the window, and muttered, "Yes! I'm the emperor, so I can't just live for myself! ”

"Liuyun, if we are far away in the future, will our hearts be together!" When I said this, I felt the urge to cry. But I can't shed any more tears, otherwise, how can I continue to live alone in the future. Only, only make yourself strong.

He looked back at me in bewilderment, and the curvature of his mouth was raised, which was very beautiful. It is not denied that any expression of Liuyun is good-looking, "I am beside you at this time, and you are the same." We will still be so close in the future. Won't go far, never will go far! ”

I smiled brightly, and a hint of tenderness suddenly appeared in his eyes, all of which fell into my eyes.

"I want to go back to the General's Mansion to see my father, and I haven't been back since that time!" I smiled bitterly, and a faint sense of desolation came to me.

He sighed lightly, "Your father's affairs must always be a knot in your heart." Be... Your father, heβ€”" I didn't let him continue, and without hesitation, I reached out and plugged his lips, "My father, he's guilty, so, I... There will be no distinction between right and wrong. Even though I used to worship my father like that. ”

He was silent and did not speak again for a long time.

"Liuyun..."I raised my lips again, and he spoke again: "I kindly allow you to go back tomorrow, but you can't let others see it." Because, I'm afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. Although, you are now the adopted daughter of General Chu, I can't put you in danger. ”

At this moment, I can't laugh anymore, General Chu's adopted daughter, these words hurt my heart. Even though this is the only way for Liuyun to protect me, I still can't accept it.

"My surname is Chu, and my name is Zhen Luo!" Suppressing the intense pain in his heart, he spit out this sentence word by word.

He hugged me again, his breath gradually shortened, and there was a trace of worry, "I know, I know, you have thoughts and grievances in your heart." But nothing is more important than your safety right now. ”

I plunged my head into his arms, tears from the corners of my eyes.

Is my safety really so concerned about him? I may have believed it before, but now I doubt it.

As he thought about it, he slowly leaned down, his hot lips covering mine.

Another time, I could still be so close to him. Therefore, I responded to him with affection, just because it was a farewell kiss.

He picked me up by the waist and walked to the bed.

Liuyun, if in this life, I can be your woman again, only tonight.

In the future, we will not be implicated.

The tents in the hall fluttered lightly, and the candles flickered, which seemed to be somewhat similar to the night of our wedding.

In the middle of the night, he had slept very deeply, and I, with my eyes wide open, couldn't close anything.

Liuyun's sleeping appearance was still so charming, and he gently stroked his face, eyes, nose, and lips. I never felt like a night like tonight.

By the time he awoke, it was dawn.

Early in the morning, I personally changed his clothes, and he just smiled, "Today's you are different from usual." Remember, every time I go to court, you sleep more deeply, but today you wake up earlier than me. ”

I didn't stop my movements because of his words, but replied very naturally: "In the past, I didn't think of what I should do for my husband as a wife." Now, I have understood it, and it should be like this. You don't want to. ”

"How could I not want to, I just want you to sleep more." He still has a thin smile on his face, which makes me look at it, it is a little warm.

The door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open, and Father-in-law Yu said respectfully: "Your Majesty, it's time to go to court." ”

Liuyun said "um", leaned down again and left a kiss on my forehead, "I'm in court, if you go back to the General's Mansion today, let Ziqian accompany you, too many people are easy to arouse suspicion from others, but if he protects you, I will feel at ease." ”

I bowed slightly, and he turned around and strode out of the hall.

"Liuyun!" I stopped him again, he paused and looked back at me, I smiled at him, "Take care of yourself in the future." His eyes flashed with surprise, washed away by my smile, and he walked towards me again, stopping in front of me, "Zhen Luo, I will definitely take care of myself, otherwise, how can I take care of you." ”

There was unbearable sourness in my eyes, and there was a hazy water vapor, at this moment, I didn't want to suppress myself from tears, I just wanted to cry for him.

He reached out to wipe the tears from my face, "Silly girl, why are you crying again." ”

I changed my smile and said softly to him, "Go ahead!" Don't miss the time of the court. ”

He nodded, "Then I'm leaving!" ”

Until his figure disappeared from my eyes, I still stood stupidly in the hall and looked out, unable to move my lotus feet.

The tears on his face were gradually dried by the spring breeze that slipped in outside, and the dried tear stains would still leave traces?

No matter how unbearable my heart is, I can't stay, I can't be reluctant, I can't give up, I'm hovering between the two, I don't know what to do.

I am willing to give it because I yearn for a free and secluded life, and the palace is not my final destination.

I am reluctant because the feelings for Liuyun are so profound, I don't know if I can let go of myself in this life.

Just like he used to, he exchanged his departure for a strong life.

Even if I see you again in the future, I hope he won't recognize me again.
