Chapter 278: Change Because It's You
The study soon quieted down, Chu Xingyue lay on the chaise longue and slowly closed her eyes, the silver mouse blanket on her body was very warm, and after a while, her slightly cold hands and feet were warmed, and with this warmth, Chu Xingyue finally fell asleep.
It was very calm in her sleep, she seemed to have returned to the past, back to the days before she had not crossed, living a peaceful life from 9 to 5 every day, partying with friends on weekends, going out with girlfriends on holidays, living a simple and pure life, warm and comfortable, there is no undercurrent and sword shadow that she is experiencing now.
Just when Chu Xingyue was drowsy and immersed in a happy dream and felt that all his limbs were very comfortable, he suddenly felt that something really touched his cheek.
The thing was as warm as jade, and she was so comfortable that even she couldn't help but let out a comfortable moan in her sleep.
But just when she let that thing touch her cheek, the vigilance in her heart suddenly cheered her up, and her originally closed eyes opened open, but she saw Zhao Ling squatting in front of her at the moment.
And Zhao Ling was also startled by Chu Xingyue's suddenly opened eyes, and the fingers on her face also froze, and when she met her frightened eyes, the corners of her mouth hooked and smiled.
"Did this king wake you up?"
Hearing his voice, Chu Xingyue felt a little sober, she sat up with her soft collapse, turned her head to look out of the window, and found that it was already dark.
I didn't expect her to sleep for so long this night, and she actually slept from day to night.
Seeing that Chu Xingyue's face still had the ignorance of waking up, Zhao Ling's heart was almost melting, he gently touched the wrinkled marks on her cheeks that had been pressed out of deep sleep, and said with a smile: "Are you hungry?" This king let the kitchen pass the food? ”
Chu Xingyue looked at Zhao Ling, his eyebrows and eyes were extremely calm at the moment, and it was impossible to see what he was thinking in his heart: "Why are you here?" ”
"This king has something to say to you, so he came to you, but I didn't expect you to sleep so deeply, and I called you softly several times and you didn't wake up; This king saw that you were still smiling when you fell asleep, but in your dreams you dreamed of something very happy? Among those happy things, is there a king? ”
Such words were easily said by Zhao Ling, which made Chu Xingyue wonder for a moment; You know, she told him all her secrets openly, and she could clearly remember that when they parted during the day, he still had a look of disbelief and confusion; How could it be that after a few hours, it was as if he had changed as a different person.
not only took the initiative to appear in front of her, but also told her such easy-going and intimate words.
Chu Xingyue didn't hide it from him, and said to him: "I dreamed of my former self, with friends and relatives, living a simple and happy life, and I didn't dream of you. ”
Zhao Ling sat down beside Chu Xingyue, looked at her sleeping red face, looked at her pink eyelids, and couldn't help but stretch out his hand and touch it gently: "Yue'er, this king knows that you want an answer, and he also knows what you want to hear from this king, this king came to you just to say these things to you." ”
"Two years ago, not long after the king returned to the capital, it was the critical moment to break into the court as a newcomer, the eldest brother married a woman with a very thick maternal background as the princess, and at that time, as the rival of the eldest prince, the king is often taken out to speculate what kind of woman the king will marry as Princess Ling. After all, this king is not as good as the eldest brother to a large extent, he has a mother who is the queen, and he can be regarded as a concubine; He has been raised by his father since he was a child, and the degree of attention is naturally stronger than that of this king; Therefore, many people are secretly guessing that this king will definitely marry a noble girl in the capital who can compete with Princess Xuan's mother's family, so as to make up for his own shortcomings and shorten the distance between him and the eldest brother. ”
"In fact, this king also thought this way at the beginning, for this king, since he wants to marry a wife, it is naturally better to marry a woman who will help him in the future, anyway, it doesn't matter who will be this Ling princess, as long as she can help this king be honest and sensible, this king will give her glory and wealth, and respect her like a guest. In the heart of this king, at that time, there was no concept of a wife at all, but he felt that the woman who entered the Ling Wang's Mansion was like a bottle in the flower hall, which was pleasing to the eye. ”
"But what this king didn't expect was that his father and the emperor were married like this king at this time; For Jingbei Hou Chuyi, this king is respectful and loved; He is not a child of a family, nor does he rely on the support of any big family in Beijing, he can have today's status and honor, all by relying on his own fists and kicks; Chu Yi's name is comparable to the star-like existence of the heroic men in the Great Wei Army, to put it mildly, maybe in the hearts of countless soldiers, Chu Yi's prestige may surpass his father's emperor. This king was sent to the battlefield by his father when he was a teenager, although he did not serve under the account of the Marquis of Jingbei, but this king grew up listening to his story. ”
Zhao Ling looked at Chu Xingyuehua's face, and smiled calmly and gently: "It's just that what this king didn't expect is that one day this king will actually marry the daughter of Jingbei Marquis Chu Yi as his wife, although Chu Yi has made great achievements, but he doesn't have much foundation in the capital, in other words, if this king wants to show his strength in the court, Chu Yi and Jingbei Marquis Mansion can't help this king; Therefore, through this move, many people think that my father has given up on me, if my father really hopes that this king can compete with the eldest brother, he will not let this king marry the daughter of a military general who is not even a hundred years old. ”
"At that time, the king was young and vigorous, and he thought that my father didn't like me to the extreme, so he arbitrarily pointed out the marriage for the king; However, when the king opened the scroll and saw the beautiful woman in the painting, he was stunned; It's not that the beauty in the painting is too good-looking and attracts this king, but that this king feels that the beauty in the painting is somewhat similar to Luo Yao between her eyebrows and eyes. ”
Luo Yao? It turned out that the reason why Zhao Ling promised to marry Chu Bingyue was that he was still stained with Luo Yao's light?
Chu Xingyue was a little jealous for a while, to be honest, she was really a little envious of the woman who was already dead; can appear in Zhao Ling's best age and talk about a vigorous love with him, which can make him remember it for so long; This honor is really not something that ordinary people can enjoy.
Chu Xingyue was a little depressed, and reached out and patted her bulging chest one by one, so that the breath she was holding in her heart could be smoother.
Zhao Ling saw Chu Xingyue's action, the corners of his mouth subtly hooked a doting smile, stepped forward to hold her hand, stopped her from slapping herself, and stretched out his other hand to wrap around her back, helping her gently pat her back to smooth her.
Seeing that this guy was still acquainted, Chu Xingyue snorted coldly: "Go on, I'll listen." ”
Where would Zhao Ling not know that he was not happy to mention Luo Yao, this little woman with a generous mouth but eyes comparable to the tip of a needle, really made him helpless.
He didn't want to mention Luo Yao more, but there was no way, Luo Yao's existence in this matter still couldn't be bypassed.
"This king felt guilty because of Luo Yao's affairs back then, and he has never forgotten it for many years; It's just that it wasn't so obvious before, until I saw Chu Bingyue's portrait, it was as if someone had opened the wine cork, and all the thoughts and guilt poured out; Therefore, under the arrangement of his father, this king married Chu Bingyue. It's just that what this king didn't expect was that Chu Bingyue was much more disappointed than this king imagined. ”
"I thought she was the daughter of a military general, even if she was not a character who loved to dance with guns and sticks, her temperament should also be chic and magnificent, but in the eyes of this king, Chu Bingyue was timid and cowardly, and she was extremely confused, always doing something that she thought she was smart but was actually very clumsy; This kind of thing, the king can allow her to do it once or twice, but the number of times is too much, and the king is an eyesore. ”
Chu Xingyue knew that Zhao Ling was referring to Chu Bingyue and Zhao Xuan's affairs, that's right, Chu Bingyue was indeed a fool, so confused that she couldn't know people clearly, and in the end she even lost her life.
Zhao Ling mentioned Chu Bingyue, and his face also showed a deep disappointment: "This king doesn't like women who dare to betray this king the most, but that woman has ignored this king's warnings many times until all of this king's patience is consumed." At that time, the king told himself that he should let her toss, whether she was dead or alive; But the king still relented at the critical moment, when the king was assassinated, knowing that this assassination was arranged by her and the eldest brother, but when he saw her being shot by a long arrow and dying, he still did not hesitate to flee with her on his back; The king didn't understand why he did this, so he could only make excuses for his actions in his heart again and again, and finally there was an excuse that persuaded the king; That is, even if this woman dislikes him again, it is also his wife who Zhao Lingba carries a sedan chair to marry into the door, even if she dies, she must die in King Ling's mansion, not in this wilderness where there is no village in front of the village and no shop in the back. ”
"This king thought that Chu Bingyue was so seriously injured and destined to die, but I didn't expect a miraculous thing to happen, and when she woke up from a coma, it was like a different person, daring to shout at this king, and daring to spill misery at this king, and most importantly, the strong desire to survive and brilliance burst out of her eyes, burning like a fireball, which shocked and surprised this king."
Zhao Ling looked at Chu Xingyue, looked at her eyes that were completely different from Chu Bingyue, and told her seriously.
"Yue'er, maybe this king confused you before and thought that you were Chu Bingyue; However, after careful consideration by this king, this king found out; If the person who woke up that day was still the previous Chu Bingyue, this king would still treat her as air and ignore her; But the person who woke up that day was you, and the moment you opened your eyes, you changed, and this king also changed for you. ”
