Chapter 167, Compromise
"I ......" Yu Qingwu lowered her head, not knowing how to answer for a while.
The so-called companion is like a tiger, and the same is true of the prince.
As a prince, Xie Jinyan has experienced countless assassinations, was born in the intriguing royal family, and grew up in troubled times.
If she has a very ruthless and vigilant heart because of her youthful experience.
Then Xie Jinyan is a hundred times more ruthless than her, and his suspicion is also extremely serious.
Therefore, Yu Qingwu knows very well in her heart that for her, the best way is to abide by the rules, say that she will not be honored and favored, and hold great power, but at least after a long time, she has a brother, and now she has a brother, and she has a good life with the queen, and she has a face in front of the queen, so in Xie Jinyan, there is still some respect for his wife in front of him.
Compared with a husband who loves each other, just being a meek princess who is respected by the prince, the future road will be more secure, and he will not be sad because he changes his mind when he takes a concubine, let alone quarrel endlessly because of his disagreement.
This was what she thought would be the best way for the two of them to get along.
But obviously, Xie Jinyan was not satisfied with her like this.
At that moment, his hand slid down her back, and at some point landed on her eyebrows.
With a hint of coolness on his fingertips, he gently stroked the pair of affectionate peach blossom eyes, and said in a low voice, "Ah Wu, can't you and I talk to each other well?" Why do you look at me so coldly every time there is a conflict? ”
The man lowered his eyes and looked at her, a trace of pain was stained at the end of his reddened eyes, and said with a wry smile, "Every time, I am coaxing you, I am really afraid that one day I will be tired of coaxing, and I don't want to coax anymore." ”
The hoarse voice carried a hint of pleading, completely losing the dignity and arrogance of the prince on weekdays.
Instead, it's more like the seventh junior brother who followed her all day when she was young......
At that time, although he was well-behaved, he was a ten-year-old child after all, and he was still more or less naughty.
occasionally made Yu Qingwu angry, so she ignored him.
And he pulled the corners of her clothes, begged her over and over again, and said to her over and over again, "Second senior sister, don't ignore me, okay?" ”
Eventually, she relented.
At this moment, looking at Xie Jinyan's expression, Yu Qingwu's mood was extremely complicated.
For a while, I didn't know whether to treat him as the ruthless and suspicious prince Xie Jinyan.
Still, her seventh junior brother Jinyan......
Yu Qingwu raised her eyes, staring at the pair of red phoenix eyes, and finally, her voice softened, she gently withdrew her hand, sat down beside him and said, "Jinyan, I repeat, I didn't mean to throw my face with you, nor did I want you to coax me or compromise with me." I used to think that we could communicate with each other at will. ”
"Even if there is a gap between those things in the past few years, at least, it is different from others."
But now, I suddenly realize that this is not the case. You and I are no longer just sisters and brothers, nor are we just husband and wife, but more ...... It is the relationship between the crown prince and the crown princess, in other words, the monarch and the minister. Monarchs and ministers are monarchs and ministers after all, and once the ministers overstep, the monarch will be suspicious. ”
"Your Highness dares to say that you didn't suspect me that day? Or, murderous? ”
Her tone was extremely gentle, but the last sentence still stung Xie Jinyan fiercely.
His eyes froze, and the expression on his face stiffened.
In her heart, he is so unbearable?
He admitted that his suspicion was a bit serious, but no matter how suspicious he was, he would never kill her.
Xie Jinyan didn't speak, he frowned, and a layer of cold frost appeared in his eyes, and his stunning face revealed a hint of deep coldness.
After a long time, he looked at her and asked mockingly, "Ah Wu, in your heart, am I so ruthless?" Is...... Even if I have any suspicions in front of you, I will never want your life......"
"That's just the present, what about the future? As you said, what if one day you fall in love with someone else? Yu Qingwu closed her eyes, and her tone was still calm and gentle.
The words were sharp, she hooked her lips, the corners of her mouth showed a touch of bitterness, and smiled back at him, "Your Highness, you are the crown prince, the future emperor, which emperor is not the three palaces and six courts?" Besides, even if you don't mention the future, even if you don't kill me, haven't you ever killed my brother? ”
"Although my brother is only an internal servant now, it is not without eunuch hegemony in the past. The Wei Dynasty was in war because of the dictatorship of foreign relatives in the past, I don't believe it, you don't have a mustard in your heart? Especially when my brother rebelled against you for the sake of my revenge for me, do you dare to say that you did not kill him? ”
Yu Qingwu asked questions again and again, every sentence was like a sharp knife, completely tearing open the fig leaf, and putting the implicit contradictions between them on the table.
Xie Jinyan originally wanted to pretend to be pitiful, so that she would compromise because of soft-heartedness like when she was young.
Yu Qingwu's sudden rhetorical question made him a little unexpected, and he suddenly didn't know how to answer.
Looking at the woman with a complicated expression, Xie Jinyan wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say a word.
It took a long time for him to reply to her gently.
"Ah Wu, Yu Qi is your brother, since I married you, he is my brother, as long as he doesn't do anything excessive, I won't do anything to him."
"I assure you, even if one day he commits some acts of treason, I will never hurt his life, and if he does, he will not die well......"
Xie Jinyan said, raising his fingers to swear.
Seeing him like this, Yu Qingwu hurriedly pressed his hand.
She never expected him to swear suddenly, looking at his sincere eyes, her heart softened a little, but she was also a little helpless, and said lightly, "That's it, Your Highness doesn't want to make this kind of oath without a beginning or an end, and the concubine only hopes that Your Highness will not be so suspicious in the future, and don't pull others into the water at every turn." ”
"As for my brother, if he is really capable of betraying the country, I don't need Your Highness to stay alive, and the concubine will kill him."
After saying that, Yu Qingwu glanced at Xie Jinyan with a smile again, and added, "Of course, if His Royal Highness the Crown Prince does something to collude with the enemy country, the concubine will not hesitate to cut off your head." ”
Seeing her smile, Xie Jinyan knew that she had compromised.
He stretched out his hand and took the man into his arms, and hummed, "I am the crown prince, how can I be treasonous?" ”
"That's not easy to say, you forgot the King of Jin who died in southern Xinjiang?" Yu Qingwu replied with a smile.
As he spoke, he took his hand again, got up and said, "Okay, Your Highness, don't talk about it here, it's not too early for the concubine to look at it, this banquet should start, let's hurry up and go to the garden, it's disrespectful to the father and the queen mother if it's late for a while." ”
"Father and mother?" Xie Jinyan raised his eyebrows, suddenly approached her, and asked with a bit of ridicule, "Why don't you call Your Majesty and Niangniang today?" So, senior sister, this is recognizing my father and mother? That is, you and I are husband and wife? ”
