Chapter 20: Hearts and Desires
Xiao Jing's depression of dissatisfaction became more and more intense, and it was burning.
He could have endured loneliness and loneliness in a barren place, and he didn't dare to covet Sister Ah Yi with a trace of extravagance, suppressing his greed, hatred, and infatuation inch by inch in the depths of his heart.
However, he had deeply smelled Sister Yi's jade soft floral fragrance, and he knew the taste of the marrow, and it was difficult to control himself.
Xiao Jing walked back to the bookcase.
The slender jade hand took out a wooden box and opened it, all of which were the jewelry "dropped" by Sister Ayi.
The bright moon, the jasper scratch, the golden step shakes, as if there is still a dark fragrance that seems to be there but not there.
Xiao Jing stared at it infatuatedly, his chest lying together.
Suddenly, he remembered what Ye Yi and Ye Er had said, Sister Ah Yi said that she had loved Xiao Linshe like that.
Jealousy is in my heart, devouring.
In the next moment, the dark clothes on his body fell to the ground.
His shoulders are straight and broad, his skin is as cold as jade, his muscles are clear, and his waist and abdomen are beautiful and smooth.
Criss-crossed and wrapped in white curtains, it did not affect the beauty of his figure at all, but there was a kind of broken beauty.
Xiao Jing's eyebrows are high and his eyes are deep, full of treacherous and greedy desires.
Tomorrow, Sister Ah Yi will come to his East Palace.
He removed the curtain, his brow unmoved, his bony fingers pressing against his wound.
Droplets of crimson blood stretched along the furrows of the texture, flowing through his abdomen, and finally disappeared.
An indescribable burning sensation lifted up and attached to the bone marrow.
Gradually, Xiao Jing's eyes were closed, the tails of his eyes were red, and his bare chest exuded billowing heat.
The young crow has cold skin, thin lips and pink lips, and there is a kind of thrilling bewitchment.
He sighed in a low voice, "Sister Ayi."
Sister Ayi.
Ah Jing wants you, no matter what kind of despicable means you use, what kind of treacherous thoughts.
……
From early morning to dusk.
The crowd of people standing in the long lane of Shenhou Mansion changed wave after wave, and they watched the prince of Chu kneel for several hours.
And after Miss Shen threw down the jade chain categorically, she never appeared again, leaving the prince of Chu to kneel under the stone steps.
They sighed for a while, and they could see the determination and disgust in Miss Shen's eyes clearly.
Her heart has been decided, why should the prince of Chu be entangled?
Xiao Linshi was still carrying thorns behind him, and his thin underwear was stained with mottled blood.
His handsome face was covered with a layer of obscurity and abruptness, and his sword eyes were so dark that he couldn't see what he was thinking.
The memories with Shen Yi crossed in front of his eyes.
When he was a child, he didn't know what the marriage contract with her was, but he was told by his father every day, and he treated her very well.
Grow up, young Mu Ai, he enjoys the sparkling eyes of Shen Yi when he chases him, and occasionally has a hint of joy for her.
If there is no Jin Niang, he will marry Shen Yi and respect each other like guests.
He just went the wrong way for a while, and Jin Niang also made it clear to him that he was just regarded as his confidant, without any love between men and women. In the future, he will also abide by himself and will not have transgressive behaviors with Jin Niang.
Could it be that Shen Yi is really so ruthless that he doesn't even give him a chance to correct his mistakes?
"Shizi." Behind him, there was a rush of footsteps, and Xiao Linshi's scholar Qiu panted angrily.
Xiao Linshi turned a deaf ear.
Qiusheng walked in front of Xiao Linshe, looking at the other party's expression, shocked and angry.
The prince has always been beautiful and beautiful, and he is one of the most beautiful men in Chang'an City, but now he was forced by the prince to come to Miss Shen to admit his mistake and ask for a new marriage contract, but he was humiliated by her and fell so far.
He had a great complaint against Shen Yi in his heart.
The prince can not only admit his mistakes with Miss Shen in a dignified manner, but she is not as good as Miss Cui, nor is she as smart and interesting as Miss Cui.
Why do you pretend to be high in front of the world?
"Shizi, the princess ordered the servants to invite you back to the house." Qiu Sheng said respectfully.
Xiao Linshe's body tightened, and he said without a trace of emotional fluctuations: "You go back to the house to tell the princess, I will be kneeling here all the time before I ask for Miss Shen's forgiveness."
Qiusheng was taken aback, and he looked around at the crowd.
He approached Xiao Linshe's ear and said in a suppressed voice: "Shizi, you have never always liked Miss Cui, unless she doesn't marry."
"Since Miss Shen doesn't know what to do, then you just give up, and the prince is helpless."
Xiao Linshe looked at Qiusheng almost gloomily: "Shut up!"
His heart throbbed for no apparent reason.
Suddenly he realized that he had done something wrong. His dislike for Shen Yi was too obvious, and even a slave dared to despise her.
Qiusheng was startled, as if he didn't know Xiao Linshe.
Does the prince mean that he doesn't want to divorce Miss Shen?
But obviously before being confined in the secluded room by the prince, the prince still didn't like her, and only liked Miss Cui Fu.
Two hours later.
It was late at night, and the long alley was deserted, and it was silent.
Qiusheng helped Xiao Lin, who had a gloomy face and didn't say a word, to return home.
He looked stunned, and after this night, he finally saw clearly.
The prince wants to reconcile with Miss Shen, but it is not forced by the prince, the prince has this intention.
But people's minds, how can they change in more than ten days.
As soon as I returned to the Chu Palace.
Princess Chu immediately greeted her, and when she saw Xiao Linshe's depressed appearance, she cried in distress: "My son has suffered!"
She couldn't wait to cut Shen Yi with a thousand knives in her heart, such a temperamental shrew, Lin Shi had already knelt in the long alley of Shen Hou's Mansion for ten hours, but Shen Yi still didn't give up.
With Linshe's outstanding appearance and noble status, the noblewomen of Chang'an City are not at the mercy of Linshe's selection, just a Shen Yi, and she will withdraw from the marriage.
The prince of Bisheng was so protective of the shrew, and ordered Lin Shiding to ask for Shen Yi's forgiveness, otherwise he would ask the emperor to set up another son.
The prince of Chu stared at Xiao Linshe, who was expressionless, and said in a calm voice: "Linshe, follow this king to the study."
But after half a cup of tea, the prince of Chu and Xiao Linshe walked into the study, and the father and son were silent.
The prince of Chu pondered for a long time, Shen Yi was able to make the prince retreat from the flood in Luncheng, and he also forced Prime Minister Zuo, who had been an official for many years, to commit suicide by hanging the beam, and beheaded all over the house.
It was he who looked away. She is resolute, and when she comes to admit her mistakes today, she is also unmoved.
His eagle eyes flashed a hint of fierceness, since he couldn't admit his mistake to Shen Yi, then he could only take the extreme edge of the sword.
"Linshi, your marriage with Shen Yi must go as usual." The prince of Chu did not scold Xiao Linshe, but said seriously.
Xiao Linshe's fingers clenched and nodded silently.
The prince of Chu patted Xiao Linshe's shoulder, this time he thought that his father claimed to be his own, not his king.
His voice was deep: "Linshu, my father knows that you have been humiliated today, but my father cannot do it."
"Because my father didn't want to tell you the truth so quickly, your marriage with Shen Yi is your imperial uncle's bargaining chip to contain Shenhou Mansion, Shenhou Mansion is highly meritorious, intertwined, and it is a big trouble for your imperial uncle, and he wants to use this to eradicate Shenhou Mansion."
"After you marry Shen Yi, you will spoil her, humiliate her, and even spoil your concubine and kill your wife, making her a joke in Chang'an City. Shen Zishan has always doted on her, and he must be haggard for his daughter, and with the Chu Palace's efforts to serve your imperial uncle, the Shen Hou's Mansion will definitely gradually fall into ruin. ”
Xiao Linshe raised his eyes violently, and he looked at the prince of Chu in disbelief.
His marriage to Shen Yi was actually a bargaining chip for the emperor's uncle and father to plot against Shen Hou's Mansion?
So what is he? Is it a pawn that harmed Shen Yi and indirectly killed Shen Hou's Mansion?
"Father......" Xiao Linshe's voice trembled.
The prince of Chu stopped Xiao Linshe's next words, and his gaze was cruel and cold: "Linshe, my father knows that you can't bear it, but the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die."
"The Shenhou Mansion is destined to overturn, and you don't need to feel sorry for Shen Yi, and you can't stop it. What's more, you like Miss Cui Mansion, after the matter is completed, the Chu Mansion has made a great contribution, you can ask your imperial uncle for a favor and ask to marry Miss Cui. ”
"A few days later, it is the Spring Festival, and Shen Yi and you have a skin-to-skin relationship, and your marriage will be as usual. Think about it. ”
The emperor's order was hard to disobey the four words that pressed heavily on Xiao Linshe's heart, and a chill rose from the soles of his feet, yes, how could he resist the son of heaven of a country?
The emperor's uncle was suspicious of Shenhou Mansion, and Shenhou Mansion had to die.
What about Shen Yi? Since then, there has been no Shenhou Mansion, and there is no such person as the eldest daughter of Shenhou Mansion.
A sharp pain rippled across Xiao Linshe's skull and then spread to his heart.
An idea popped up in his mind, he couldn't protect the entire Shenhou Mansion, but he could save Shen Yi.
"Yes, the boy understands."
Xiao Linshe didn't know how he walked out of the study, his steps were heavy.
The ghost sent him straight to the dark room.
As soon as I stepped into the dark room, the sound of festive suona and gongs and drums suddenly sounded in my ears.
In front of him, Xiao Lin was wearing a bright red wedding dress, his handsome face was shrouded in a layer of cold anger, and he kicked open the wedding room.
He mercilessly ripped off the bride's red hijab and sneered: "Shen Yi didn't expect that you are such a shameless person, using the power of Shen Houfu and the Empress Dowager to persecute the Chu Palace, and threatening me with my life to marry you, which really disgusts me to the extreme!" ”
"The person I like is Miss Cui Fu, she is a hundred times better than you, you will never get my heart!"
With that, he brushed his sleeves away.
Xiao Linshe had a splitting headache, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat. He saw that the person who married him was Shen Yi.
She has a phoenix crown and a glow, her eyebrows are shy and spring, and her forehead is dotted with a spring flower.
In normal times, she has always shown people with a plain face, and she is already a charming look. On the wedding night, she wore a thin jade face, which was so beautiful that it made people's hearts palpitate.
However, after hearing him say that the person he liked was Jin Niang, the rippling spring light in her eyes turned cold inch by inch, and she was stunned.
The sight was so familiar, as if he had experienced it.
He gasped lowly, his eyes bloodshot.
No! He will not be like the dreamy him in front of him, abandoning Shen Yi who is full of joy on the wedding night, making her embarrassed and sad.
Xiao Linshe's eyes were dark and he muttered.
He was ashamed of Shen Yi, and felt sad that the Shen Hou Mansion behind her was about to be beheaded by the emperor's uncle, and there was no longer her father and eldest brother who spoiled her, and even the imperial grandmother would be implicated and could not protect her as before.
He will raise eyebrows with her, pity her, and pity her.
