Early that morning, the snow stopped and the air was completely gone. After a while, a refreshing air came to us.
Xi'er suddenly came to Cining Palace and said that Yu Wenqian wanted to invite Yun Jingchu to go to Qinghua Palace for a reunion. The Queen Mother listened and thought that after all, Yu Wenqian would return to Qitian with Heliancheng in a few days, so she couldn't
Without saying anything, he quickly allowed Yun Jingchu to come over.
Yun Jingchu actually wanted to see Yu Wenqian, so she took Xing'er and followed Xi'er's footsteps to Qinghua Palace.
Tsinghua Palace was still deserted, but after entering, Yun Jingchu saw from a distance an elegant man in purple sitting alone at the table. Yu Wenqian was not seen. Yun Jingchu was very confused. It was Heliancheng.
How could it be him? Where is Qian'er?
Seeing Yun Jingchu's appearance, Heliancheng stood up to greet her and asked caringly: "How are you doing, Princess?"
Yun Jingchu retracted her thoughts and said with a faint smile: "Thanks to His Majesty the Crown Prince's concern, everything is fine in Jingchu."
He Liancheng glanced at Yun Jingchu with his dark eyes, raised his thin lips and said, "Then I'm relieved, because I never said sorry to you for what I suddenly said to you before."
Yun Jingchu said meaninglessly: "His Royal Highness, there is no need to be so brooding. As for that matter, until it is clarified, please do not mention it again, or even meet again."
After all, he is also a dignified prince. Women have always taken the initiative to approach him. This is the first time he met a woman who wanted to stay away from him. Thinking about it, Heliancheng smiled and shook his head and said: "In this world, like
It is rare to find a woman as special as the Princess."
Because she knew that Qian'er would follow this man from now on, she also wanted to observe more, so she smiled casually, and the two of them sat down in perfect harmony. Xi'er quickly walked up with a pot of tea and said respectfully
Said: "Princess, the princess is feeling a little unwell and just fell asleep."
Yun Jingchu nodded, knowing that Yu Wenqian's health had never been good, so she was still worried that she would not be able to bear it when she got to Qitian, but she had made up her mind and she could not say anything more.
He Liancheng, on the other hand, glanced at Yun Jingchu without leaving any trace, and poured her a glass with his own hands. His low voice instantly brought Yun Jingchu's thoughts back, "Princess, just call me Liancheng from now on, we don't need to
I'm so unfamiliar with you, so I'd better skip those polite etiquette if possible."
Knowing that He Liancheng is a cheerful person, since he said so, Yun Jingchu no longer shied away and responded calmly: "Okay."
He Liancheng looked at her, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, loud laughter sounded, and the guard asked: "Then what should I call you? Jingchu? Or Yan'er?"
Outside the window, the snow was white. He Liancheng was holding a cup, laughing heartily and loudly. The smoke curling up in the cup ignited in front of the two of them. Yun Jingchu looked at that handsome face and couldn't help but be immersed in his own thoughts. In fact, regardless of Jingchu,
At first, she was still Yan'er, but that was not her real self. Suddenly, in a daze, she remembered the name buried deep in his memory, especially thinking about such a night. He put himself in his arms and promised:
"Tianjiao, if I ascend the throne as emperor, you will be the queen of the country." No matter it was before or now, she has deeply remembered these in her mind, but now she remembers how stupid she was just to advance the time.
Heliancheng saw her dim eyes, looking at him in a daze, the expression in her eyes changing and complex. He couldn't help but feel suspicious, and asked: "Did I say something wrong?"
Yun Jingchu suddenly came back to her senses, and her delicate brows frowned slightly. In fact, in her heart, everything in the past was very clear. Thinking about it, she shook her head, trying to get rid of those thoughts, and then said lightly: "No,
In fact, the name is just a title, you can call it whatever you like."
He Liancheng's eyes lit up, and he said half-jokingly: "Then I'll call you Jiaoer, okay? Because you make me feel really proud..."
These seemingly simple words really shocked Yun Jingchu, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. Could it be that he knew something? If he thought about it carefully, he had no interaction with him in his previous life, and it was impossible for him to recognize him.
I believe it was just a coincidence that he called her that. Thinking of this, Yun Jingchu's heart calmed down slightly and she continued to raise her eyes to look at Heliancheng.
Seeing his open smile, there was no deep meaning in his eyes, but a thorough understanding. Yun Jingchu sat up straight in surprise. For the first time, she had a new appreciation for the bold and handsome man in front of her.
The definition of a gentleman is tolerant, and it is most suitable to apply to He Liancheng. I believe that he will be an outstanding emperor in the future. Since the other person is like this, Yun Jingchu's worries about Yu Wenqian can finally be relieved.
I believe Heliancheng will not treat her too badly.
Yun Jingchu retracted her thoughts and smiled bitterly at Heliancheng. Instead of answering his question, she directly asked another question, "When do you plan to return to Qitian with the princess?"
"Three days later, if things don't change." Heliancheng didn't hide anything and said loudly.
Yun Jingchu's eyes sparkled and she smiled softly: "The princess has not been in good health since she was a child. If she goes to Qitian, she will not be able to adapt to it at first, so I hope Liancheng can take good care of the princess."
"The princess is my wife, I will definitely take good care of her." He Liancheng smiled confidently, showing the inherent pride and arrogance of a proud man. He suddenly turned his eyes and moved closer. Suddenly
He asked curiously: "But I'm curious, you are indifferent to everyone, why are you different to Yu Wenqian alone?"
Yun Jingchu was stunned for a moment, her beautiful eyes flickered, she smiled faintly, and lowered her head to drink tea. She had told too many lies. She really didn't want to tell this matter again, so she would rather not
Answer this question.
He Liancheng was sensible. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he no longer forced himself. He picked up the tea and drank a full cup in one gulp as if he were drinking wine. He casually changed the subject, "Jiao'er, in fact, with your qualifications, you don't know how to do it."
You should be trapped in this palace, I think it should be very simple for you to leave, right?"
Yun Jingchu smiled faintly, with a trace of unnoticeable hatred in the corner of her mouth, and a hint of fierceness hidden in her eyebrows. She asked softly: "Isn't Princess Helena like this?"
When Heliancheng heard this, he was stunned for a moment. He looked at the woman opposite with a clear and distant smile. If he was only interested because of the lotus on her back before, then in the subsequent contact, her otherworldly tranquility,
The confused look all over him made him even more curious.
He didn't know whether being curious about such a woman was a good thing or a bad thing.
When Yun Jing first saw that he didn't speak for a long time and just kept looking at her, she couldn't help but asked with a smile: "What? Is there something on my face?"
He Liancheng shook his head, his heroic and bold face moved slightly, as if he thought for a moment, then suddenly changed from his usual boldness, and asked cautiously: "Are you willing to come back to Qitian Kingdom with me? My father has always wanted to meet you.
"
Yun Jingchu's eyes were filled with surprise. Did Emperor Qitian want to see her? What role did he play? As she thought about it, her expression gradually became serious, her eyes lingered on his handsome face, and she said quietly:
"I don't want to leave Wen Yuan yet."
He Liancheng looked intently at the look hidden in her eyes. He spoke in an extremely sincere voice softly and slowly, "If you really decide to leave Wenyuan one day, please be sure to come to Qitian, because my father is really
I really want to see you."
Yun Jingchu's heart trembled slightly, and she quietly touched the teacup in her hand. The uneven blue and white porcelain surface rubbed her fingertips, and the already cold temperature of the cup's edge slowly penetrated the skin of her fingertips.
Slowly seeped into my heart.
Decided to leave? I really don’t know when, because this will be a long war.
Thinking about it, Yun Jingchu put down the cup, leaned back on the chair, and said with a faint smile: "Okay, if there is a chance, I will go." This sentence sounded like perfunctory, but from her mouth
Coming out is a rare promise.
He Liancheng also nodded sincerely, "Jiao'er, I thank you on behalf of my father."
Hearing these words, Yun Jingchu's lips curved into a gratified smile. This Heliancheng was a rare magnanimous person, but this superficial contact could not really reveal anything. Just like the former Yu Wenrui, he always thought that he was the best person in the world.
She understands him, but in fact, she only understands the surface and does not understand his heart.
Thinking about it, Yun Jingchu stood up and said Yingying: "It's getting late, I should go back to Cining Palace. When the princess wakes up, I will tell her that I have been here. Please tell her,
I will find time to see her before she leaves."
He Liancheng nodded, stood up, and walked her to the door of Qinghua Palace. Looking at her retreating back, something suddenly felt different in his heart, but he couldn't tell what was different...
After Yun Jingchu and Xing'er came out of Qinghua Palace, they walked in the direction of Cining Palace. When passing by the Imperial Garden, a bright yellow figure suddenly blocked her way.
"Jingchu, I have something to tell you." Yu Wenrui looked at Yun Jingchu, his dark eyes not blinking for a moment, but he still decided to come and make it clear to Yun Jingchu.
"Xing'er, please go aside and wait for me." Yun Jingchu told Xing'er calmly. Although she hated him extremely in her heart, she had to endure being alone with him for her own plan.
Xing'er nodded obediently and quickly retreated. In the entire imperial garden, there were only two people, Yu Wenrui and Yun Jingchu...
Yu Wenrui suddenly stretched out his hands and hugged the woman he had longed for in front of him into his arms, "Jingchu, would you like to be my wife?"
Yun Jing first felt his strength, and she knew she couldn't escape, but after hearing him say these words, she laughed coldly and pointed at Yu Wenrui's chest.
"Your Majesty, in your heart, who does the title wife belong to?" She sneered, pointed to her chest, and said lightly: "And in Jingchu's heart, this position will only belong to one person. Then
He is my future husband."
"That person will only be me -" Yu Wenrui stopped talking, his face became darker and darker, he closed his eyes, did not face her, and let her go, "Whether you believe it or not, in my heart
, the position of wife has always been reserved for you alone."
Yun Jingchu stood up straight and held her chest because it hurt too much. She looked at him without showing any expression. She suppressed her heart and said coldly: "But Jingchu never thought so, Sangong
There are countless beauties in the Sixth Academy. How true does the emperor think the sincerity of an emperor is?"
Yu Wenrui's body trembled, and his eyes gradually darkened. He suddenly fell silent. It was not that he was not sure of his heart, but that he suddenly understood what she wanted. It was the most extravagant and weakest promise of an emperor.
Because of the political situation, he still had to marry many concubines.
He took a breath, lowered his eyes and said sadly: "Jingchu, please believe me, you are the most unique in my heart."
Yun Jingchu couldn't help but sneer in her heart, a hint of ridicule flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared, and she pretended to be sad and said: "Since the emperor can't do it well, then please get out of the way and let Jingchu leave..."
"Let you leave?" For some reason, he was particularly afraid of this sentence. He tried hard to suppress the panic in his heart. His handsome face instantly returned to calm, and his black eyes were cold: "I will not let you go! Never!"
The last two words seemed to be squeezed out from the bottom with biting heart. His lonely body trembled slightly, which surprised Yun Jingchu. If she was really Yun Jingchu, maybe she would really be moved by this moment.
It's a pity that she is not moved. She is just the scarred Shen Tianjiao who was ruthlessly hurt by him.
"Your Majesty, why is this?" Yun Jingchu concealed her anger and said quietly, pretending to be a little lonely.
"I said, I will never let you go. From now on, what I want is your heart!" Yu Wenrui's expression was complicated, his black eyes were slightly narrowed, he approached her and pointed at the position of her heart, "Your position
It will only be me who lives there, and there can be no other people!" He must not let anyone else live in her heart!
Yun Jing looked at those dark eyes for the first time. She listened to his every word clearly, but her heart sank again. It should belong to him? She couldn't help but raise a mocking smile at the corner of her mouth. He shouldn't
Know that this heart once only belonged to him, and there was no one else but him.
But this heart that originally belonged to him was destroyed by his own hands, and in the end it no longer existed.
"Your Majesty, the person standing in front of you is no longer Situ Yan, but Yun Jingchu."
"Even so, you will always be my favorite woman!" Yu Wenrui clamped her shoulders again and spat out coldly and proudly.
"Why are you so persistent?" Yun Jingchu's tone was very soft, so soft that it was hard to believe that these words came out of her own mouth.
"I wish I were you now! You at this moment!" Yu Wenrui blurted out suddenly, speaking his truest thoughts in an instant.
What did he mean? And why did he look at her with that see-through look, as if he knew something...
