Chapter Eighty-Four: Decide for Yourself
"Sister, I'm still confused about a lot of things before. You said that you didn't forget your worries, you said that you left the border city and went to Lancheng? There was not much description in the letter, and I never dared to ask more. Now that you're here, it's time to tell me about it in detail. ”
After the maid left, Xia Yunzhi pulled Weiyang and sat down. It seems that there have been too many things on her mind in recent days, and the little princess's face has long since lost the radiance that she had when she was in the Snow Country. But I guess I saw the old man, a pair of big round eyes, and barely shining with dazzling light.
"Well, there's not much to say. ”
Weiyang sighed lightly and didn't want to mention it, but seeing the little princess's curious appearance, he couldn't bear to disappoint her, so he simply said a few words.
"I mentioned my identity to you in the letter before, and then ...... was framed, seriously injured, and almost died. was taken by Lin'er to a snowy mountain in the Snow Country to find a magic medicine that could bring the dead back to life. After that, you will all know, the high priest Mo Yunxi and Su Moxie found me and brought me back to the imperial city. When I woke up, I didn't want to remember the past, so I pretended to have amnesia, and Su Moxie gave me the name of forgetting my worries. ”
Weiyang is the identity of the third princess of Mingguo, and Xia Yunzhi was really startled when she heard it at first. Listening to her a few understatement now, although the word "framed" is omitted, it is not difficult to hear the sentimentality of the tone.
"How did that sister get from the border city to Lancheng, how could Su Moxie let you go so easily?"
The little princess asked easily, but Weiyang glanced at her without a trace. Said lightly: "Chu Han is injured." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xia Yunzhi's face changed unexpectedly. Although he tried his best to hide, he couldn't escape the eyes of Weiyang.
"He, he's hurt...... What does it have to do with my sister leaving Arashicho?"
The little princess then asked, deliberately avoiding Chu Han and pretending to be indifferent. Weiyang didn't want to test her anything, since she didn't mention it, then she didn't say it.
"Su Moxie once attacked the city and let General Chu Xiao be used as a bait to lure Shen Yan, the seventh prince stationed in Lancheng, to be fooled. He expected that the third prince Shen Li would be difficult to deal with, but it was not difficult to take down the seventh prince Shen Yan. Originally, the plan could have been accomplished, but General Chu Xiao was shot by an arrow at the last moment and fell to the ground, and was held in the throat by the spear of the Seventh Prince. ”
Xia Yunzhi covered his mouth and exclaimed, "Then Su Moxie exchanged his sister for Chu Han?"
"Shh
Weiyang sneered disdainfully, "My silly sister, are you such a good person when you are Su Moxie? The little general is just a pawn to him, and he doesn't care whether he is dead or alive. Of course, I later learned that he was sure that Chu Han would be fine, so he announced his retreat so leisurely. ”
"That ......"
Xia Yunzhi wanted to speak and stopped, Weiyang knew what she wanted to ask, and it was not difficult for her, so she said again: "I saved him." Because of this, he exposed himself. Both Shen Li and Shen Yan recognized me and knew that I wasn't dead. ”
Speaking of this, Weiyang narrowed his eyes, remembering the scene at that time, he couldn't help but sigh. "On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Su Moxie used a trick to ask me to accompany him to perform a play in the border city as a reward for the people and soldiers who fled from Mocheng. He knew that Shen Li was coming, and deliberately designed to lure him to appear. Fortunately, with the help of Mr. Mo, we were able to escape. After that, I followed Shen Li back to Lancheng and lived in another identity. ”
"I see......"
The little princess lowered her eyes, paused for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Then he...... Are you alright?"
Weiyang glanced at her, although as early as when she was on the way, she had been persuading herself not to say anything difficult for her when she saw someone. But now that I really saw it, I was still a little angry. This annoyance, the words blurted out.
"If I had received those letters from you, and had known that you were going to marry someone else so clearly, I might as well have let him die on the battlefield in the first place. That way, at least you don't have to worry about it, and I don't have to worry about it. ”
"Sister......
The little princess's mouth pursed, and her eyes became hazy with tears. Weiyang took a deep breath and spit out, suddenly feeling a terrible headache.
"You can't live if you do your own evil. The moment I opened my eyes in Snow Country, I thought I would never have anything to do with anyone again. The person I trusted the most taught me not to trust anyone, and it proved that the most terrible thing in the world is the human heart. It's a pity that fate is not up to others, I know you, your innocent appearance and clingy temperament, like the old man I am familiar with. For this, I relented again. ”
Weiyang remembered the scene when he first saw Xia Yun in the Imperial City of Snow Country. She lay on the soft couch and watched the lovely girl walk in timidly, and her bright eyes made her heart tug almost instantly. Because of that familiarity, she couldn't help but think of Shen Yan, and then another figure popped up in her mind.
At that moment, she suddenly understood. It's not that I don't want to remember, but I never forget at all. The name of forgetting worries is the same as Su Moxie's, but it is just an illusion of self-deception.
"If I didn't know you, I wouldn't have understood Chu Han and listened to your stories. From your own point of view, you may see less. So you don't know that on the night you were sick, the little general stood guard outside the door and blew the cold wind all night. So you don't know that since you left, the little general has become more and more depressed. However, he always chose to remain silent, because he was afraid that he would not be able to afford it. And I've always been hesitant to tell you, just thinking, which ending is best for you?"
The little princess couldn't cry anymore, wiped her tears and choked up, "What does that sister mean by telling me this now?"
Weiyang looked at her fixedly, remembering what Shen Li had said to her.
"I want to tell you that you choose your own destiny. Sister can't help you decide everything, so let you choose the path you want to take. No matter which one, no matter how bitter it is, you have to finish it with a smile. ”
Xia Yunzhi was silent and did not speak, and at this moment, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"I've heard the princess mention it several times before, saying that she has made a good sister in the snow country. Now, it seems, that's not the case. I just don't know why this girl is dressed like this and got here?"
As he spoke, an elegant man in white walked in. From the moment Xia Yunzhi heard his voice, he stood up and turned his back on his face, busy wiping away his tears. Weiyang sat indifferently, quite calmly.
"Why is Master Qiu here? Ah Zi said that the bride and groom cannot meet before the wedding. ”
Hearing Xia Yunzhi's words, Qiu Bai smiled and said with a little apology: "I'm sorry, I was negligent." I just came over to ask Ah Zi if your wedding dress was ready, but I didn't expect to see a little soldier sitting inside and talking happily with you. I was curious and worried about your safety, so I couldn't help but come in and ask. ”
