Heartburn - Chapter 108
“Your Highness, Your Highness…” I didn’t know how long I was sitting there. After the waiter whispered to me several times, I came back to my senses. I suddenly felt the dull pain on my back being held by the hard chair back and between my fingers. The sour numbness-because it was holding the handrail too hard, it was stiff and dull, and it was so white that it turned blue.
“His Royal Highness, the hour is coming.” Seeing me turning to look at him, the attendant said softly again.
Xu realized that my face was wrong, but he just said something and stopped, not daring to urge it anymore.
——Yes, today is the day when the appointment is made. Since the county lord of Guang’an has already seen the clan, and as the representative of the clan, I should personally **** the dowry to the wife’s house, to show that the heavenly family takes it seriously and the emperor’s grace is great. This is what Kwong Ximing told me yesterday.
“Let’s go, don’t make the courtesy wait in a hurry.” After taking the already cold tea cup to moisturize the throat, the cold tea ran across his throat, stabbing people with a sharp spirit, but he was completely awake.
Suppressing the shock and helplessness at that moment, I got up and adjusted my robe, and walked out unhurriedly.
No matter what the Guang’an County Lord has with me or what his attitude towards me is, it is not an issue that needs to be considered right now-the top priority is to perform my duties as the prince of the clan and to observe and **** me.
As for what he said about breaking my energy, I was surprised that I didn’t feel so sad…It was like, subconsciously, I always thought that I didn’t have a child.
child.
I remembered that shy little guy, Kuang Xidong’s child… If she were my child, it would be fine.
I was taken aback by this unrealistic idea. I shook my head and smiled bitterly. With the help of the palace attendant, I sat down on the car and sat in the car of the county lord of Guang’an—because it was the county lord’s marriage, so It was hired by the man to the woman, which also represented the emperor’s honor to the county owner.
And when I thought of this level, in addition to the a little bit of pain in my heart, I also remembered what she mentioned before yesterday’s unhappy relationship with Kuang Ximing: This noble daughter of the county lord came from the house of the emperor. , That is, my wife Fu Ruozhen’s sister-in-law.
——After all, she and I are also related to each other.
And my husband, not to mention that he didn’t have his impression in his mind, but since I opened my eyes, I haven’t seen him; not to mention him, all the people and things related to Ling Wang’s Mansion are absent.
Those doubts that I have deliberately or unintentionally ignored appeared one after another in the swaying of the public, and taught people that they can’t help but think deeply, and they can’t help but care.
There are various signs, as if I, the prince of “power over the world”, was imprisoned.
Imprisoned in the palace, imprisoned by the emperor, like a bird in a cage, a fish in a pond, there is no freedom.
The Fu Mansion is more magnificent and beautiful than expected. It is not at all like an ordinary scholarly family, but more like a wealthy and powerful family with a long history; the Fu family’s patriarch waited early in the front yard of the main hall with a family member. When my Nian Yu stopped at the door, the previous 28 beauties had been lined up in the courtyard.
After reading the imperial decree, counting the beauties, and completing the hiring ceremony, my task was completed. As I was about to leave, I heard the emperor Yun Chongyang, who was well-maintained as if he were 30 or 40 years old, said: “Your Highness, Please stay.”
“What advice does the emperor give?” I waved my hand to make the guard who control the public wait a while, I quickly looked at the other party, nodded and asked.
“In the past, the dog was closest to the little girl before he came out of the pavilion. Now the little girl is about to be the master. I don’t know if I can allow the dog to return to Ning for one day and family-friendly?” As if seeing the unusual meaning in those eyes that were soaked by the years.
What she asked for was more than just allowing Wang Fu to return home to Ning, but I couldn’t guess what she meant for a while.
“The king will consider it at his discretion.” Neither immediately responded nor refused. I really don’t know whether this promise can be fulfilled. I haven’t seen her son, my husband.
“His Royal Highness You Lao.” And she didn’t say much anymore, it seemed that the purpose of talking to me had been achieved, and it seemed that the palace attendant and the guard guarding me by my side taught her that she could not show more and dare not entangle again. Going down, so he just arched his hands and backed away to make room for Nian Yu.
Halfway through the return journey, I stroked Fu Nianyu’s frustration, then thought about it, and tentatively said: “Since I have come out, it is better to go back to the palace by the way. The king may not have seen the king’s husband for a long time.”
After I finished speaking, I looked at the guard responsible for traveling, but saw that she leaned without squinting, and replied in a cold voice: “Your Majesty has an order. Embarrassed by a humble job.”
“…The king knows, go back.” Leaning weakly back to the back wall, I closed my eyes and closed my mind, and also suppressed the unwillingness and hesitation in my eyes.
——This house arrest, I’m afraid it’s not my carelessness.
When he returned to the sleeping hall, Kuang Ximing was already down and was sitting at the table waiting for me.
She was at ease, directly using my bedroom as the Shiyu Hall for office. The large stack of memos on the table was shocking, and her cold and quenched eyes were even more awe-inspiring. Seeing that joyful appreciation that came to life when she was dressed in a pure and juan posture was also wiped out by the coldness in an instant.
Kuang Ximing is a very clear and cold person. Although this coldness has never been shown in front of me, it does not mean that I am not aware of it.
But such a person, would he really be the kind of person who can comfort me, be gentle and small, and at the same time guard me and imprison me in the palace?
She was reviewing the memorial, so I didn’t want to get too close, so I picked a seat at random and served tea from the spiritual palace.
“Have you seen Fu Yunchong?” She asked without stopping, as if chatting, “What did she say to you?”
“She wanted to ask me to allow Wang Fu to return to the mansion when the county lord came out of the cabinet.” I had nothing to hide, but vaguely felt that her expression was very indifferent when she mentioned Fu Yunchong, and when she heard her request, her eyes were even more indifferent. It was a touch of ridicule with sharp light.
This expression is far from the rumor that “Your Majesty is extremely dependent on emperor teachers.”
Sure enough, rumors are rumors, and they come from groundless sources—it’s impossible to believe them.
“Heh, this old woman…” She curled her lips, put a pen to look at me, Zhan Che’s eyes had a certain expectation, “Can you agree?”
“I just said to consider, I never agreed.” Her eyes turned soft in an instant, and the smile on her lips became real after hearing my answer—what I felt before sitting down: This emperor is afraid that she is really bad. Emperor Xin, or has taught his majesty to be disgusted.
As for the reason, I naturally have no way of knowing now.
“Speaking of it, it’s been a long time since I saw Wang Fu.” Now that I said this, I seemed to say something unintentionally, but saw that the beautiful eyes of the spring were immediately frozen with a layer of ice, like the sky of June. , Change when you say change.
“Why, do you miss him?” Although I couldn’t see what was written on the manuscript with my eyesight, I also caught a glimpse of the neat and clean page. After my voice, I was completely scratched by a large vermilion ink mark. It penetrated the back of the paper and went straight into three points. , Can imagine the force exerted by those who hold the slightest.
I don’t know why her mood has turned sharply, but she also understands that she doesn’t want to see the Fu family, and is even more disgusted with my mention of Wang Fu, so she just shook her head and did not excuse her. She bowed her head and sipped tea without saying a word. pass.
But the bottom of my heart can’t help but feel depressed: even when I mentioned Wang’s husband, I reacted like this. If I want to go back to the house, I’m afraid I can demolish this palace.
But what’s the point of keeping me in this partial hall?
If you are really jealous of me, just find a reason to get rid of me, so that it is not salty and not light… Is it because you are jealous of something, and when the time is right, you will strike a thunderous blow?
But she can see her attitude towards me. Although she is a little unpredictable, she is careful and considerate but can’t be faked, and it doesn’t look like she is waiting for an opportunity to start…I am incomprehensible.
I have never been so annoyed that I have a blank memory, even if there is no basis for analysis, I can’t remember it.
She didn’t wait for my answer, but continued to read the memo, and when I woke up again, she disappeared into the temple with the pile of memos.
At night, due to the turbulent thoughts during the day and the shocking secret that Wei Shu revealed in my ear yesterday, I tossed and turned, pondering till this point, but there was no sleep.
Even the Liuhe Shenshui scent of Ning and calming the nerves can’t soothe the irritability in my heart. I patted the bed, and simply sat up, rushing to avoid taking off my shoes and walking to the window.
Pushing half of the window open, the night wind slowly came in, wondering if the moonlight tonight is as lonely and peaceful as I am, and it is difficult to sleep?
Looking up, the moonlight was hidden behind the dark clouds. It was never revealed. Instead, it was standing alone under the porch in a black dress. The wind was blowing and the wind was falling, and the clothes were floating. If it weren’t for the bright color between the fingers, it was almost as if the night was flashing. One, hard to find.
People who can stand quietly outside my temple in the middle of the night and are not captured by the Forbidden Army as an assassin, except Kuang Xidong, don’t think about it.
And I thought quietly: She can’t do this kind of thing that doesn’t go to bed most of the night but ran to someone else’s room to be the door-god.
He closed the window, turned around and opened the door, and looked at her for a moment, all silent.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally approached and entered the room.
Turned around and sat down at the table, poured a cup of hot water from the insulated silver bottle, and poured another cup for her. I didn’t ask her what she wanted, but just drank water by myself-in fact, I waited patiently for her to confess.
She turned the cup uncomfortably, and opened her mouth as if she had nothing to say: “I haven’t slept so late, but something is on my mind?”
“What about you?” I threw the question back to her, knowing that she would not answer.
Compared to me, who hasn’t slept late at night, she who wanders in front of other people’s rooms is more suspicious, so she should be questioned.
I looked at her speechlessly, drank a cup of hot water, I looked up at her, but saw that she had put away the embarrassment, drank the water leisurely, put down the cup, and smiled at me-as bright as the moon, and as light as the moon, seemingly A distance that can never be crossed.
“It’s late at night, you can rest.” She got up and left.
As I was about to go out, I called her in a ghostly manner-the entanglement of the night, it is better to ask at this moment, “Yesterday the Guang’an County Lord came and told me one thing.”
She raised her eyebrows and waited for my follow-up.
“Wei Shu said he gave me the medicine, and I might not have any more children in the future.” After taking a hard breath, I finally asked Huanhuan’s suspicion for a long time, “Did you instruct him to do it?”
As soon as the words were spoken, I actually regretted my impulse, but the overwhelming was hard to come by, so I had to wait anxiously for her answer.
Holding her breath and looking up carefully, she saw that her cheating Saixue face was completely bloody, she was so white, her lips were slightly open, she seemed shocked to the extreme, and her deep pupils were momentarily blank, as if she had been stunned. My question was frightened.
I felt a little funny for a while, and laughed at her now…the next moment, I couldn’t laugh anymore.
——The eyes, which have always been as quiet as an abyss, suddenly overflowed with a glaze, like a shattered crystal, turning into stars and sequins.
The beauty of brokenness is flawlessly beautiful, but it is also heartbreaking.
Did she actually… cry?
