Story of the Forbidden Palace - C77
Yuexi never expected that I would sacrifice my life like this, and pull my hand back. In terms of strength, I am naturally not as strong as him.
After struggling for a while, I lost all my strength and slowed my breathing down. “Didn’t you want to kill me? Do you know that if you go in now, your entire Madame Shan will be destroyed! ”
Yuexi opened his eyes wide, the warm tears had turned red in his eyes. He stared at me in pain, his eyes filled with despair and helplessness. I knew that he had wavered, and I breathed a sigh of relief.
“Fortunately, you still have the Madame Shan in your heart.” I released my hand and gently said, “Cousin, do you think it’s my wish for the marriage between Madame Shan and the Rong Family?” He did not speak, only nodded slightly.
I bitterly smiled and said with self-mockery, “Cousin, you think too highly of me.” From the day the decree was delivered to the palace, my life was no longer mine. He had wanted to quietly live in seclusion and be imprisoned in the Light Cold Palace. However, it was still the unfulfilled will of the heavens, becoming a person who clung to power. Am I not suffering enough? How could I drag you into the water for nothing? ”
Somewhat disbelieving, Yuexi said coldly: “Then why did you kill Xue Rou? Isn’t she innocent? ” I heaved a long sigh. “It’s not that I want her dead, but that she must die.”
I tried my best to make my voice sound real. “Empress Dowager borrowed me to win over the Rong family, and Princess Zi Yan is the key. And this key event is linked to the fate of the San Clan members, out of which, our Madame Shan is the weakest. ”
He didn’t want to continue talking, so he just silently stared at him. The light in Yuexi’s eyes was slowly swallowed up by despair. He sat down on the chair weakly, and the golden hairpin in his hand once again clanged against the ground.
“How did she die?” Yuexi still asked. I know how sad he was. “She left in peace, without pain. In the dream. ” Yuexi lowered his head and cried silently.
“Looking at his trembling back, my tears started to flow uncontrollably.” Su Yun looked at the mountains and rivers faraway. Cousin brother, you heard what Princess Zi Yan said just now. She is a good woman and her feelings for you are sincere. Please treat her well. ”
He forced himself to stop crying and wiped the tears off his face with a brocade handkerchief. I raised my head and said, “Cousin, if you still want to blame me, Wanqing’s life is waiting for you to come at any time. However, no matter what, we must not become the clan’s sinner. ”
Yuexi looked deeply at me, and finally didn’t say anything more. Silently withdrawing, I looked at his skinny back and let out a smile.
Facing the lotus flower mirror carefully powdered, and Wu Bao Zhai’s black powder eyebrow pencil out of the distant mountain eyebrows. The delicate face reflected in the mirror was brimming with a wide smile. Yet, it was so strange that he couldn’t even recognize himself. Was he a human or a ghost?
With the red paper on his lips, the color of his lips became even more dazzling. If he were to take this step forward, perhaps he wouldn’t be in so much pain in the future.
Lunch was in the western courtyard, and the weather was exceptionally sunny today. A patterned table surrounded a dozen people and beamed with joy.
Zi Yan had already wiped away the sadness on her face, while Yuexi smiled gently. It was as if they had been friendly and the story of how they cried and begged and even tried to force each other to death had never happened.
Uncle gave me a look of approval, and since he had promised to put himself at risk for the performance, he would not let him down. In the remaining two days, I’ll take care of the rest of the matters properly.
