Chapter 39
When Shui Ruoshan woke up again, they had already settled in the Yin Wang's Mansion in Kyoto. What she couldn't react to was that she was just in a coma, and when she fell asleep, there was one less country in the world. She listened to Sen Xian's voice and tell her about the whole process, and the heroine of the palace came outside the door.
Shui Ruoshan walked into the courtyard, and the woman in front of her, Fu Zhiyin, the second princess of Shengfeng who was famous for her softness, kindness and virtue, is now the only mistress of the Yin Palace, the only concubine of the Yin Wang, and the biological mother of the little prince. These identities of hers are also what Shui Ruoshan imagined about her future appearance in the past.
It can be seen that this princess is living a very happy life, and the shallow smile on her face sets off happiness and satisfaction.
Sometimes Shui Ruoshan herself can't understand her feelings, she looks at the lover of the man she loves, not envious or jealous, looking at her happy feeling, she only feels a faint sadness.
"I heard that you woke up, and I will come to see you on behalf of the prince and the palace. Princess Yin has more mature charm than back then, "Let me take you to visit the palace." β
Shui Ruoshan had a heart of liking King Yin, and never knew how he should get along with Princess Yin.
"When you were brought back by the prince, the whole palace was talking about it in private. Shui Ruo looked at her with puzzled eyes, "Presumably, everyone knows the prince's temperament, and he has not been close to women in the past few years since he married me, not to mention who wants to enter the gate of this Yin Palace, it is the corner of this palace, and the prince has never given anyone hope." But you're different. β
Shui Ruoshan glanced sideways at Princess Yin, turned around and continued to walk openly.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I'm not a jealous woman. What's more, as the prince's concubine, I should be good for the prince. It can be seen that the prince values you very much, and I simply want to know the relationship between you and the prince, so that I can prepare in advance. β
"What are you going to prepare?" said that Princess Yin led her, Shui Ruoshan but easily touched the courtyard of King Yin's bedroom, there was once a withered plum tree here, no flowers and no leaves, only a few dead branches, one of which stretched out from the side extraordinarily long, once in her youthful time, under the soft and shallow moonlight, the beautiful King Yin who stopped in the silver snow stood under the withered branches, but asked her with an evil smile, "Do you like me?"
The memory was covered as softly but densely as snow, the plum tree in the courtyard overlapped with the appearance in the memory, Shui Ruoshan involuntarily tiptoed and quietly walked over, she was afraid of disturbing the ethereal white figure under the tree that year, she raised her hand to caress the cracked branches, and her heart was full of burning sensation, for the brave and fearless self at that time.
"Are you okay?" Princess Yin's mind was blank when she was asked by Shui Ruoshan, and when she didn't know how to answer, she saw that the person who asked the question was caressing the plum tree of King Yin's treasure, and it seemed that she had fallen into her own world.
The moment Shui Ruoshan turned around, her eyes full of despair and pain rolled out a string of tears, she looked at Princess Yin like a freeze frame, her tears kept flowing, and she couldn't get out of that sad mood for a long time. Being stared at by her like this, Princess Yin felt empathy for the pain in her soul.
It's as if time has stood still.
Like the pain in her heart, it has been still from that year to this day.
When King Yin returned to the house, Princess Yin stood at the door to greet him as always, these two are the envy of the whole country and the loving couple, they are in love with each other, raise their eyebrows, the high-ranking and powerful King Yin never looks at other women, and favors King Yin and Concubine alone, for several years. And when King Yin held the unconscious Shui Ruoshan and handled it single-handedly from stepping into the palace to settling down, the entire palace knew that this woman was different from King Yin.
When King Yin, who learned that Shui Ruoshan had woken up, found her, he only stood quietly behind her and looked at her.
Shui Ruoshan in front of her looked at the ruins in front of her in a daze, if she remembered correctly, this was once the side courtyard where she lived, in the courtyard, there was a stone table, that cruel night, King Yin sat on the other side of the table and smiled. But now the broken walls are ruined, and the traces of the fire are still faintly visible, and there is still such a deserted place in the solemn Yin Wangfu.
King Yin crossed the water and looked at the side courtyard that he had burned down, and at that time he firmly believed that she would definitely die.
At that time, he had some hatred for Shui Ruoshan.
And now, he even felt that he was a little afraid to stand by her side at this time.
Shui Ruoshan looked back at the back of King Yin quietly leaving, how the traces of her appearance were not allowed to be left behind for King Yin.
After three years, she returned to this bustling Kyoto city, but there was no one who was willing to spend time with her.
Mizuruzen strolls through the streets of Kyoto, where the layout of the shops has not changed much, and the pedestrians on the streets are still as leisurely and hurried as they were back then. What has changed too much is herself, she paced steadily through the stalls on the street, at that time, she was jumping and exploring this fresh world, her skirt was beating happily, her hair was fluttering refreshedly, she looked back, and she could always see her beloved King Yin standing majestically behind her, he gave her incomparably great courage and strength, there was only one line left in her bright eyes with her mouth open and smiling, she broke into the world of King Yin as she wished, she got the company of King Yin as she wished, and everything she could fantasize about was not as painful as realityγ
"Master" Shui Ruoshan's heart suddenly hurt, and Long San and Sen rushed forward to help her.
Her hand stroked the objects on the street stall, "Third sister, I also had these gadgets at that time, and maybe they were all burned by him later." The unburned bell pierced her bones and left her in the dark dungeon. Now that she thinks about it, she can still feel the stinging pain of the bell entering her body, the pain is so real.
"Master, that's all in the past. β
Sen Yan silently took out a piece of candy and stuffed it into Shui Ruoshan's mouth. The sweetness on the tip of her tongue added to the sourness in her heart. She took Long San and pointed to an open space and said, "There used to be an old man who was pinching clay people there. β
"Master, forget the painful things of the past, we just want to see you happy. β
Shui Ruoshan put her arms around Sen Yan and leaned on Long San's shoulder, her family, who loved her unconditionally, their favor was the greatest favor for her in this life, she would protect them well and give them a stable world.
As for King Yin, it can only be a dream she once had in her ignorant years.
