It was already noon when he woke up with a hangover. The feeling of a splitting headache made Yi Huaiyu frown all the time. He stood up and wanted to find a glass of water, but was suddenly startled by the figure sitting in the corner.
"Suiliang?" Yi Huaiyu took a breath, "What are you doing sitting here like a ghost? Do you think I am too old to help scare you away for a few years?"
Ou Suiliang glanced at Yi Huaiyu's messy clothes, lowered his head, and said without any intention of joking: "Your Highness, can you still laugh? Your Highness should know better than me what the consequences of a night of indulgence will be."
"What a mess -" Yi Huaiyu probably noticed that something was wrong with him. He looked down and realized that his situation could be described as chaos. What was even more shocking and made his scalp numb was the carpet on the carpet.
A smear of dried blood.
Yi Huaiyu no longer knew how to react. He stared blankly at the mess on the carpet and punched himself hard on the forehead: "Damn it! I thought it was just a dream!"
Are you confusing reality with dreams? This is a good excuse. Ou Suiliang cracked his mouth and tried to show a smile, but he saw in the reflection of the basin next to him that his expression was more miserable than crying. He made up his mind after thinking about it for a while last night
He went to Sima Turan to talk about the marriage proposal, but there was no one in Sima Turan's tent, so he waited stupidly, thinking that she was still drinking by the bonfire, and waited all night.
The stars disappeared and the moon set. What he had been waiting for was Sima Tulan's soul lost, and what he was waiting for was a desperate scene.
Ou Suiliang wanted to laugh at himself, what was he dreaming about like a clown? He knew clearly that there was no place for him in this chaotic relationship, so why did he pretend not to care and humiliate himself? Maybe he was to blame for being too timid.
Well, many words are always delayed, delayed again, and kept telling myself that the time is not yet ripe, so it has been delayed until now, to the point of no return.
If you like Sima Tulan, you should express your feelings as early as possible.
After a long silence, Yi Huaiyu breathed tremblingly, and his eyes were confused: "Where is Tu'er? How is she... how is she?"
"Back in her tent, she doesn't seem to want others to know about it." Enduring the heartache that was about to break, Ou Suiliang used indifference as a barrier, but he didn't dare to look up, fearing that he would be hurt when he saw Yi Huaiyu's disheveled appearance.
Unable to help himself, he rushed forward and punched him hard. With his fists clenched under his sleeves, Ou Suiliang stood up and walked to the door: "Your Highness, please handle this matter yourself. I can't help you, and I don't want to help you.
"
Hearing the boredom in Ou Suiliang's tone, Yi Huaiyu raised his head in surprise: "What do you mean?"
"As I said, this matter was a mistake made by Your Highness just for fun. I have no obligation to help."
Yi Huaiyu was stunned, looking at his close friend with a calm face as if looking at a stranger.
From birth to babbling, from gesturing with each other with wooden swords to supporting each other on the battlefield, in the more than 20 years of knowing each other, Ou Suiliang has always been a close friend who silently shared his burdens and responsibilities. When did he start not wanting to
Are you going to help him anymore? There have been many rumors saying that Ou Suiliang is his loyal minion and a vicious guard dog. They never care because they know very well that what binds them is the same ambition and ideal, Ou Suiliang.
That kneel down when he was young was a serious promise of loyalty to him to the death.
But in just a few years, has even the person he trusted the most changed?
Yi Huaiyu's childlike hurt expression made Ou Sui's conscience soften again. He sighed silently, stopped and turned slightly sideways: "I don't want to complain about anything, I'm just angry that His Highness is confused. Has Your Highness considered the consequences of doing this? He's hurt.
If Miss Su doesn’t express her feelings, how can you ask Miss Sima to meet people in the future?"
A woman's greatest capital is her chastity. Although Yi Huaiyu has always scorned this statement, the reality is that once it is known that Sima Duran had an affair before marriage, how could those rivals hiding in the dark and a bunch of people who failed to propose marriage possibly
Let it go? Su Shiyun is similar but not the same as Sima Dalan. She has Yi Huaiyu's promise that she will marry him, so she doesn't have to worry too much, but Sima Dalan, who has a noble status, is having a hard time.
All these speculations gave Yi Huaiyu a splitting headache. He shook his body and almost knocked over the low table.
"What should we do now?" While asking Xiang Ou Suiliang, Yi Huaiyu was also asking himself.
"Your Highness shouldn't ask me. I'm not much more awake than you now." Hiding his indescribable fatigue and weariness, Ou Suiliang lowered his voice and said softly, "At this point, we can only keep the news and test Miss Sima's intentions later - if she
If you are willing, I will go to the General's Mansion to propose marriage as soon as I return to the imperial capital."
As if he heard something incredible, Yi Huaiyu frowned: "Are you still thinking about proposing marriage? That's enough. There is no need to treat yourself as a pawn. After what happened, I can't let you marry her again.
, you have your own life, you don’t have to think about me everywhere.”
"This is not a matter of consideration for anyone, I..." The words were hard to say, and Ou Suiliang pondered for a moment before giving up what he wanted to say. He raised the curtains, and the scorching sun was dazzling in the sky, making Ou Suiliang's face look a little pale: "If Your Highness
I can't accept Miss Sima, so I have to find a suitable home for her. I think maybe I can do it."
Yi Huaiyu didn't continue, or rather, he didn't know how to continue.
The originally clear path to the emperor's career has become blurry and confusing since he became involved in emotions. For Su Shiyun and Sima Dulan, he became increasingly unable to distinguish the boundaries of their status in his heart.
How to end.
He is able to control the general trend of the world, but he is confused about his feelings.
Yi Huaiyu had an extremely difficult day. No matter whether it was Suiliang or others, it seemed strange. He walked to Sima Turan's tent several times and wanted to go in, but finally gave up. On the contrary, Sima Turan behaved unexpectedly.
It was unexpectedly calm, just as they were laughing and joking in the past, as if nothing happened that night.
Amid repeated entanglements and sorrows, the day finally arrived to return to the imperial capital.
Winning the battle against Zhao Kingdom was something that many people had not expected, and the most surprised person among them was the emperor. With three points of fear, three points of disgust and four points of helplessness facing his second son, the Emperor of Yao Kingdom except for half
He opened his mouth and smiled awkwardly without any other reaction. The prince standing at the first place on the right side of the court simply showed his hatred very clearly, but it was a pity that Yi Huaiyu didn't even look at him.
"The State of Zhao looked down upon me, Dayao, and did not send veteran generals but mediocre soldiers on paper. Our generals worked together and our soldiers sacrificed their lives, so we were able to completely annihilate the enemy and win." Without hesitation, he promoted his military exploits to
Among the soldiers, Yi Huaiyu raised his eyebrows and looked at the emperor, with a cold smile full of mockery: "In addition, I would like to thank the prince. On the way to the south, I received a lot of 'care' from the prince!"
