Well, she admitted that she was hopeless, but she just couldn't bear to see such a melancholy and sad expression on his beautiful face. ▏中㊣▏
As the saying goes, it's true that "heroes" have a hard time with beauties.
Listening to her words, Ao Chenye's eyes turned deeper, and he looked at her with a burning look. The corners of his lips raised a happy arc: "Little cutie, didn't you say you wouldn't tell me who you were going to give the pearl to? Why did you change your mind now?
Already?"
His half-smiling eyes made Ke'er's face flush slightly, and her eyes moved around uncomfortably, racking her brains to think of a perfect reason: "Because...because I can't find Ao Chenxiao,
So I can only tell you that I’m asking you to help me find his person.”
Don't let her know that her true feelings are because she feels sorry for him. If he knows that she bows her head because she can't bear this handsome man like him, he will definitely seize the opportunity to tease her!
Catching the twinkle in her eyes, Ao Chenye smiled softly without breaking her cover. His slender fingers gently brushed her beautiful eyebrows, raised his eyes, looked at the screen window, and looked at the slightly swaying silk thread.
Through the curtains, faint light and shadow swayed on them, the color was very light, very light.
It was as if the blurry images of the past were flashing before his eyes one by one, and his thoughts slowly flew away——
"Brother Wang, the matter starts from the time when the previous Dragon King was in power, that is, when my father, the king, took a woman whom he already had his heart for as his concubine, all these disasters were unavoidable. All these disasters originated from
Concubine Xiao, the mother-in-law of Brother Wang, helped the enemy attack our Tenglong Kingdom and leaked military information, causing Tenglong Kingdom to fall into an unprecedented disaster. After Concubine Xiao's conspiracy was exposed, she was sealed by my father. It was Brother Wang...
I went to rescue Concubine Xiao, which gave Concubine Xiao another chance to plunge the Tenglong Kingdom into war, and my father eventually died in the battle. Although the war was eventually settled, the people of the Tenglong Kingdom will always hate Concubine Xiao, a treasonous beauty. Naturally,
, Brother Wang also became the object of their hatred. Under the pressure of everyone, I had to expel Brother Wang to Xuefeng Mountain..."
At the end of the sentence, his expression was filled with helpless pain and deeply suppressed brotherhood, which made him feel sad every time he recalled it.
From beginning to end, Ke'er just listened quietly, looking at his seemingly indifferent expression, as if he was no longer worried about the disaster in the past, but she could still feel it from his slow tone.
He couldn't let go of this unbearable past.
After a long time, when he finally left the last lingering sound, Ke'er couldn't help but sigh softly.
"Fate plays tricks on people." She couldn't help but think of Ao Chenxiao's lonely and cold figure in her mind. Such deep loneliness was unbearable.
At first, she thought Ao Chenxiao was a bit too cold, but now it seems that after being locked up in a deserted snowy mountain for many years, she would either freeze to death or die of madness.
And all this is only because of the grudges of the previous generation.
but--
"Ao Chenye, you... hate your brother Wang for releasing Concubine Xiao so that your father died in battle?"
Shaking his head, he raised the corners of his lips with difficulty, with a hint of irony: "No, I never hate Brother Wang. If it were me, I wouldn't be able to ignore my mother."
She breathed a heavy sigh of relief: "Yes, in a beautiful life, when you have to make a dilemma, whether you are going forward or retreating, it is an abyss of darkness. The person who makes the choice is actually the most painful. But some
Once something happened, it cannot be changed. Fortunately, you two brothers can still see each other. Even if you are thousands of miles apart, you still know that there will always be a close relative who is caring about you in the distance."
After hearing her words, Ao Chenye was slightly stunned and looked at her in surprise.
He didn't expect that she would understand his feelings. In the past, his concubines had objected to him allowing the king brother to come to the palace to get together every year, but she could consider the friendship between the two brothers.
For a moment, his chest seemed to be filled with warmth, and the heat in his heart made his voice hoarse——
"Little cutie, don't you think I should comply with everyone's requests and cut off everything between me and Brother Wang?"
He still couldn't believe that she would understand him. Perhaps, he couldn't believe that even the elders who had watched him grow up had never understood his actions.
Ke'er's eyes widened, and her voice couldn't help but rise with excitement: "How can you cut off the friendship between brothers? This is too cold-blooded. Besides, it's not all your fault, Ao Chenxiao, he was just a child back then.
, it is too much to make him bear all the blame for the grudges of the previous generation. It would be really cruel if even your younger brother abandons him. In that case, it is necessary to expel Ao Chenxiao for the sake of national stability.
Yes, but after things calm down you should find a way to get your brother Wang out of that hard life, don't forget that he has been very good to you since you were a child!"
Looking at her confident expression, Ao Chenye couldn't help but hug her tightly, his handsome face buried in her neck, his voice filled with emotion that could be understood: "Oh, little cutie, you are such a surprising little thing.
!”
Only she knows what he is thinking, and she is the only one who supports him.
"Uh-huh, you hugged me so hard that I almost couldn't breathe!" Although his embrace was very warm, she was about to be suffocated to death. Even if she was reluctant to leave, she would still have to protest. She didn't want to be suffocated to death in the future.
I can no longer enjoy his warm embrace.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Ao Chenye quickly let go of her and apologized naturally.
However, his apology made Ke'er's eyes widen in surprise: "Huh? You actually apologized to me for such a trivial matter? The sun really comes out from the west!"
Her exaggerated expression and exaggerated tone made Ao Chenye a little bit dumbfounded. It seemed that his image in her mind was not very good in the past.
He looked at her with burning eyes, his big hands gently stroked her hair on the temples, and said in a deep and meaningful voice: "Little cutie, this is not a small thing for me, I... thank you."
Her approval and understanding are priceless treasures for him, and they are also the motivation for him to insist that what he does is right.
Without her, he would have been alone fighting for Brother Wang. With her, he no longer felt that this road was lonely and difficult to walk.
The emotion that filled his brows could be seen by her no matter how slow she was.
It's just that I feel a little uncomfortable. I'm not used to his emotional side.
Ouch, it seems she has a tendency to be abused!
She pretended to be polite and tapped his forehead, just right on his beautiful brow, and said with a smile: "If you really want to thank me, help me find Ao Chenxiao quickly, otherwise all my gifts will be destroyed."
I can't get it."
The relaxed words relaxed his mood, his attention was diverted, and his expression could not help but return to its former cheerfulness.
After counting with his fingers, he said with raised eyebrows: "Well, you asked at just the right time. Today is the last day for Brother Wang to bathe and fast. By this time, Brother Wang should have almost left seclusion."
"Huh? Bathing and fasting?" Ke'er looked at him doubtfully, not knowing why.
Ao Chenye smiled with thin lips and explained: "That's right, the palace is the most sacred place in the Tenglong Kingdom, and it is also the base with the most royal aura. As long as Brother Wang bathes here and fasts for five thousand years, and collects the royal aura, he will
The curse on all the people of Tenglong Kingdom can be broken, and then Brother Wang can live like an ordinary person and no longer be afraid of the disasters caused by the curse."
"Curse? Oh my God, you are still cursing him?!" Ke'er shouted unbearably.
Ao Chenye sighed helplessly and explained to the innocent people: "They didn't mean it, but the hatred in their hearts was too deep. When the hatred is too much to dissipate, a curse will naturally form. This kind of
The curse is called the isolation of family members. The curse formed by united efforts is so powerful that no one can lift it. It can only be slowly washed away by the aura of the dragon clan."
"..." At this moment, Ke'er didn't know what to say. She could only silently pray for Ao Chenxiao, praying that he could wash away the curse on his body as soon as possible.
Her heart could no longer calm down, so she simply stood up and urged: "Ao Chenye, come on, let's go see your eldest brother. He has just come out of seclusion, so he must be very tired. Let's send him pearl supplements."
With that said, she quickly got out of bed, got some clothes and put them on quickly.
In the blink of an eye, she was fully dressed, and her movements were so fast that he was a little dumbfounded.
"Little cutie, why have I never noticed that you are so smart?" He teased her amusedly as he got out of bed and dressed.
Ke'er made a face at him: "Wow! That's because you have always looked down on others. Humph, I still have many advantages that you haven't discovered!"
"Really? Why don't I think so?" When he teased her, he was already fully dressed. He turned around and stood in front of her with his elegant and handsome body. His noble and lazy temperament was extremely charming.
Ke'er blinked and swallowed secretly.
Hoho, I almost fell under his spell again. This monster always exudes the charm that leads people to commit crimes.
Clearing her throat and concealing her almost gaffe, she hummed with pretense of disdain: "Besides! If you could feel it, it wouldn't be you!"
Then, she quickly changed the subject and said: "Okay, okay, stop rambling so much, take me to find Ao Chenxiao."
She grabbed his arm and pushed him, signaling him to move faster.
Thinking that Ao Chenxiao's experience was so pitiful, she felt sorry for him. Such a good person did not deserve such an end. How could all the parents' faults be repaid on an innocent child? God is so unfair.
.
Ao Chenye passively let her push him away, and looked at her helplessly: "Why are you so anxious? Brother Wang probably just came out now, it won't be too late if we go there slowly."
