[057] Marriage 4
"She's just my sister, my own sister." I sat next to him, reached out to pull him into my arms, and gently wiped his cheek, which was as smooth as white jade, "I don't know if you believe it or not, but she is really my sister, I don't belong to this dynasty, my home...is far away from here, so far away...maybe I won't be able to go back for the rest of my life."
He still didn't believe it, no one would believe such words, he pushed me away, stood up unsteadily, and pointed at me with a jade-like finger, "Just because of her telling this kind of nonsense to this king? What does it mean not to belong to this dynasty? Are you a fool when you think I am the king?"
I took his hand and stood up. I seemed to have grown taller. I used to look up when I saw him, but now I can look at him at the same level.And he seemed to be thinner, wearing thick obscene clothes, his white collarbone exposed in the deep purple, as delicate as if carved by a craftsman.
"I knew you wouldn't believe it, but..." I knelt down slowly in front of him, still holding his hand and sticking it to my face, my heart was cold, "I beg you, please let me go." Her. I promise that I will never see her again in this life."
I can only do this to save Xiaoli's life. This is an era where kingship is supreme. As a small subject, I can only do my best to protect the one I love.
Zhao Zheng is my lover, and Xiaoli is my relative, and someone I need to protect with my life.I can't make a choice between them. Only in this way can I save my sister's life and prevent Zhao Zheng from being suspicious of the relationship between me and Xiaoli, thus hurting Xiaoli.
Feeling the cold hands trembling slightly on his face, he raised his head to look at him suspiciously, seeing that his eyes were a little dodged, could it be...
I stood up and looked directly at him, "Are you still unwilling to let her go?"
He closed his eyes and turned his head away, "She should have left the city gate by now."
"Zhao Zheng!"
What does he mean by that?What does it mean to have already left the city gate?Why so fast?I just said today that I want her to get married, how could I start at night?The key point is that just after the battle with Yan State, envoys from Yan State came after returning to the palace.
"Don't tell me that you have already negotiated with the envoy of Yan Kingdom!" I stared at his lips, afraid that he would say: "Yes."
He didn't speak, but nodded slightly.
Suddenly, I felt a part of my heart collapsed with his nodding.No wonder?After the Yan State retreated, only a pair of soldiers and horses stayed behind. Not long after, Zhao Zheng came in person. At that time, I thought that his coming might have something to do with the Yan State.
But, didn't Xiaoli not show up at that time?
perhaps······
"Is it because Xiaoli doesn't show up, you will send me to Yan country?" I tilted my head and asked him with a light smile.
He shook his head and hugged me tightly, "No, I won't send you away."
Why not?
"Then can you tell me why you went to the frontier in person?" I pushed him away, pinching his shoulder blades with both hands, "I don't believe you went just to see me, do you have such a deep friendship with me? No, Should I say you love me?"
"have······"
I interrupted what he was saying and shouted at him: "What's the matter? You have always regarded me as your plaything, hugged and caressed me when I was happy, and kicked me away when I was angry. Because you are the king, you are aloof. King, everyone must bow to you, you don't allow others to trample on your dignity as a king!"
"no······"
"Not what? You killed me with your own hands, have you forgotten!" I almost shouted the last sentence at him with all my strength.
Wasn't he the one who "strangled" me on Qiling?Although I used him, if he really cared about me at that time, how could he kill me?
He half-opened his mouth and didn't speak any more. I didn't dare to look into his eyes, because there was not only regret, but also heartache, but I also felt heartache, as if being torn apart cruelly by a wild beast.
Let go of his shoulders, open your hands to him, "Give it to me."
He suddenly pulled me into his arms along with my outstretched hand, and hugged me tightly, "Don't go!"
It took me a lot of strength to push him away, "I can't leave the city without your token." Now Xiaoli must be chased back, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
He turned around with a chuckle and went to the bedside to take the jug, raised his head and took a sip, "What can you do when you go out of the city? Can you alone defeat the thousand-man army that is sending you off?"
So what?Do you want me to do nothing and watch Xiaoli fall into the fire pit?
"How can you get Xiaoli back?"
He shook the jug, and the strong aroma of wine wafted out of the jug, and the sound of the wine rubbing against the side of the jug rang in the quiet and empty hall at the moment, and swayed on my anxious and helpless heartstrings.
"She won't come back unless..."
I calmly waited for his next words. At this time, I can't do anything. If he has any conditions, I can only agree.
"Unless you change her back."
After hearing what he said, I laughed, sad and bitter, didn't he say he wouldn't send me there?He was really cruel.Want me to change it?sure!But what he said next made me not even qualified to accept the heart-wrenching but only condition that could save Xiaoli.
"But, this king won't let you change." He sat by the bed, and although he looked up at me, it made people feel that he was the person in the upper class. People can't breathe.
Should I be happy?Does his reluctance to let me change does it mean he cares about me?It means that he... loves me?
But this kind of love is too heavy, and I dare not want the happiness that I exchanged my little sister's life for.
Resisting the urge to rush out the door, walked up to him, bent down, picked up the wine jug in his hand, raised his head and took a sip, then lowered his head to caress the back of his neck, and poured the wine into his mouth. in the mouth.
"We haven't been in love for a long time, do you want me?"
