Chapter 259: Admitting Mistakes
Many days passed, and the letter to Wanning sank like a stone into the sea, and Gao Ziang couldn't sit still. The desire to see Wanning became stronger day by day, and finally made up his mind to see Wanning no matter what.
He learned from Zhou Cairen that after so many days, the emperor's grounding of Wanning was somewhat relaxed. And because of the support of Zhou Cairen, Wanning occasionally went out of Yunyan Pavilion and walked around the palace, and the emperor turned a blind eye. It's just that you can't leave the palace yet. There were strict guards at the entrance of the palace, and everyone realized at this time that the emperor had already wanted to be in front of them.
Gao Ziang consulted with Zhou Cairen and chose the time when the emperor was most likely to be negligent. Zhou Cairen pretended to trouble Wanning to go to the queen's palace to take embroidery samples, and Gao Ziang happened to be on duty in the palace at this time.
He came to the rockery that Wan Ning had to pass through, and leaned there, patiently waiting for her to pass by.
For so many days, Wan Ning has been in a trance, and today is no exception, from this experience, she would never have thought that Gao Ziang was here. By the time she reacted, it was obviously too late, but she still wanted to escape in a hurry.
As soon as Wan Ning saw him, tears flowed down her eyes, and she fled desperately, even when she walked to him, she never heard the "Wan Ning" he whispered.
After a brief meeting, Gao Ziang saw her haggardness, and the former moonlight seemed to have lost its color. He stayed where he was for a long time, looking forward to seeing each other for a few days, but he was in such a hurry.
It's good not to see you, but this sight is even more missed, especially in the middle of the night when no one is there. He had seen Wanning during the day, and at night, Gao Ziang couldn't hold back his excitement, and even wanted to go to the Li Mansion as before, and appear at the moment when Wanning needed it most, which seemed to have become his habit. knew that when I went to the Li Mansion at this time, I couldn't see Wanning.
Yi'er seemed to see the young master's thoughts, and made him a cup of tea: "Young master, you drink a cup of tea and calm down." ”
"You kid, you know what I'm thinking?"
"Yi'er has been with you for so many years. No matter what you think in your heart, I hope you will be with Miss Wanning and He Meimei. The little dare asked the young master, have you seen the young lady today? What did she tell you? ”
"See. But just in a hurry, she passed by in a hurry, as if she didn't want to say anything to me. ”
Yi'er's tone became brisk: "Look, young master, I said it's useless." She hates you more now, she finds you annoyed now and doesn't want to see you. I'm afraid that there will be no drama, there will be no hope in a short period of time, and it will be difficult to say whether I will ignore you in this life. ”
"You're going to see me laughing, aren't you?"
"Who made you misunderstand her, made her humiliated, wronged, and heartbroken for no reason! Yi'er reminded you before, but you didn't listen to a word. You don't even know how desperate she is, she treats you like the only straw and you treat her like that. She thinks you're unreliable! ”
"Who the hell are you?"
"Yi'er is naturally your person!"
"But my men do not speak for me."
"Miss is the person on the tip of your heart, and I am speaking for her."
"I know that your arm is turned out, but I can't say anything about you."
"Young master, my arm didn't turn out."
"Okay, even if you're justified this time." Gao Ziang finished drinking the tea and lay on the table very tiredly, "As soon as she saw me, her eyes were teary. ”
"Can you not burst into tears?" Yi'er muttered.
Gao Ziang's eyes were full of endless tenderness, looking at the candlelight: "Her eyes are crystal clear, full of tears, gently drowning people." ”
Yi'er couldn't hold back for a while, and laughed.
Gao Ziang glanced at him and said to himself: "It doesn't matter if you're not together, the important thing is that she can be happy." ”
Yi'er was a little serious: "Young master, you are still like a human saying!" ”
"Yi'er, your courage is getting bigger and bigger, how can you speak? It's not big, it's not small. ”
"Yes, the little one knows it's wrong. Since she doesn't want to see you, you can let it go for a while, and after a while, maybe she will want to see you. ”
"You inquire, if Wan Ning can go back home, come and tell me immediately."
"Yes."
The young master's order was to inquire, and Yi'er knew that opportunities needed to be artificially created. Blindly waiting, it will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey. He discussed with Zhou Cairen, taking advantage of the emperor's good mood one day, to intercede for Miss Wanning and allow her to go back to the Li Mansion for one night.
A few days later, this opportunity finally made everyone wait. Because Wan Ning had been doing well recently, the emperor actually agreed.
Yi'er couldn't wait to tell Gao Ziang the good news: "Young master, good news!" ”
"What's the matter?"
"Miss Wanning will go back to the Li Mansion tonight."
"Okay, got it. No matter what, I'm going to see her again. ”
"But, young master, you must follow her a little, and don't make the mistake of last time."
Gao Ziang said unceremoniously: "I understand, you don't need to talk nonsense." ”
Although he really wanted to see Wan Ning, he still held back and didn't come to the Li Mansion until late at night. The later it is, the more fragile the human will becomes. He hoped that Wanning wouldn't pick him up, get angry again, and if he could say a few words, he would be satisfied.
Wan Ning sat on the couch doing needlework, and this scene reminded her that in the past, any embroidered object had a place, as if it was only for that one person. At first, she controlled herself not to think of anyone, but as time went on, the more she thought about it, the more sad she became, and she quietly shed tears again.
Just as she was distraught and wanted to sleep, she heard a familiar call at the door: "Wanning." ”
Wan Ning looked up and saw that it was Brother Ziang who came, the person she had thought about ten thousand times in her heart. She immediately got up, didn't say anything, and pushed him out again. When the door was about to close, Gao Ziang resisted the door, but unfortunately Wanning's strength was too small, and she couldn't close it at all.
"Wanning, do you hate me so much?"
Wan Ning reluctantly let go of the door, turned around and entered the room, her posture was elegant, her proud head stood proudly, and she said coldly: "I don't speak." If you have anything to say, hurry up and leave. It's getting late, I'm going to rest. ”
"Sister Wan, I was wrong. My brother shouldn't be suspicious of you, let alone ......, and shouldn't hurt you. ”
Wan Ning burst into tears in an instant, big tears fell on her hands, she subconsciously rubbed it with her other hand and lowered her head.
"I used to go to Qinfang Pavilion and didn't stay overnight. Zhuyun only accompanied a few glasses of wine. ”
"You don't have to explain it to me. We don't have a relationship anymore, you have her in your heart, and I will fulfill you. ”
"The person in my heart has always been you, don't you know?"
Wan Ning gritted her teeth: "We don't need to have any more entanglements. You're right, the emperor is powerful and powerful. When the emperor's concubine has no worries about food and clothing all her life, the lifetime honor that thousands of women yearn for can be obtained at your fingertips. What's more, the emperor is still a wise gentleman and takes good care of women. What is the best choice? ”
Gao Ziang's eyes revealed deep sorrow: "Wanning, have you already decided to follow the emperor?" ”
"Ever since I was a child, I was afraid of the night, and I always felt that there were countless monsters in the darkness where I couldn't see my fingers. For as long as I can remember, it was my father who guarded my night, and then you. There are only two people who have guarded me through the night, one is my father, and the other is you, my brother. From now on, he will probably be the emperor. I didn't keep my father, I should have thought that I shouldn't have extravagant expectations for you, just like losing my father, there will always be a day when you should pass. ”
