The domineering queen is in love with me!

The night was deep, and the palace lanterns flickered under the golden eaves, with a trace of the heat of the day that had not dissipated, and the breeze blew across a pool of clear lotus.The lotus fragrance in the half pond spread, and streamed into the small pavilion near the water.

Yuan Shu, who was leaning on the edge of the carved pear wood railing, had a terrible headache, her eyebrows were deeply frowned, she covered her temples impatiently, and bit her lip to hold on to the last sliver of clarity.Looking confusedly at Xiaorui who was carrying a wick not far away, Gu Chang's Yushu figure was quite frightening.

On the eighteen bronze lotus round candlesticks, the red candles were beating non-stop. The man's long fingers with well-defined bones were twirling the golden strike to carefully pick out the wick. There was a faint fragrance of flowers in the air, and the red tear was gently wiped away with the wrist.

"I changed the medicine, don't be afraid."

This is the first sentence that Chu Xiaorui said after the two appeared in the same room at the same time tonight. It has no beginning and no end, but the listener can barely understand the meaning.

Yuan Shu clasped one hand firmly on the pear wood flower fence, her nails turned white and she tried to stay awake. She didn't know what kind of medicine Princess Yuan intended to give her, and she didn't even know what Xiaorui put on. What kind of medicine is it? She only knows that she has been plotted against.

mother concubine...

Even though his mind was blurred and there were countless pains like needle pricks, when he recalled Princess Yuan's meaningful smile during the dinner, he felt a little heartbroken.

Although Xiaorui gently comforted him not to be afraid, Yuan Shu was still afraid following his walking steps.The unicorn boots that stepped on the soft carpet of brocade flowers stepped forward again and again, not in a hurry, as if deliberately prolonging the movements, but pretending to be chic, and no longer the innocent young man in memory half of the appearance.

Not afraid?How can you not be afraid?Just because Xiaorui knew that Princess Yuan poured medicine into her wine but did not stop her, but secretly changed the medicine and watched her drink it with his own eyes, Yuan Shu had to guard against him.

"What...what kind of medicine are you..." The indescribable pain first caused my brain to feel dizzy, and then my whole body felt like being stabbed by thousands of needles. I could only grit my teeth and hold back the last sanity.

Walking past the veil blown by the breeze carrying the fragrance of lotus outside the window, Xiao Rui stopped, looked at the pretty girl with pale face and cold sweat, and couldn't help raising her eyebrows, which had been rehearsed countless times in her mind The dialogue is finally about to be spit out.

"Ah Yuan is in pain? Hehe, well, it's over, I don't want to pretend to be confused anymore. Do you know what His Majesty said to me back then? Yes, it was the day in Yuyuan."

Yuan Shu naturally remembered that day, Xiao Rui's medicine was extremely tricky, and she obviously felt like fainting at any time, but she was still sober from the pain.Trying hard to recall the scene at that time, Yuan Shu probably couldn't forget Xiaorui's eyes that knelt on the ground, crying and laughing at her, desperate and angry.

"She said...you are hers."

Probably to let Yuan Shu hear more clearly, Xiaorui walked towards her on purpose, his no longer gentle handsome face was shrouded in a shadow, the dim light flashed away, every word he paused, and the nightmare that had been in the past few years The retelling was given to Yuan Shu.

The catkin who was fastened to the railing froze a little, and her big eyes soaked in tears looked at the person in front of her, and Yuan Shu understood a little.She could have guessed it earlier, with Yuan Li's personality, nothing could be more exclusive and domineering when she said these words, no one would be able to resist them.

Seeing that Yuan Shu was not as surprised as expected, Xiao Rui understood.Originally, he had tentative thoughts, but at this moment, after seeing Shang Yuanshu's guilty gaze, he made up his mind.

"It seems that Ah Yuan already knew about it, but I thought too much. I thought you didn't know anything. That's how it is."

Recalling those years, Xiao Rui still can't let go of it. His love for Yuan Shu is different from Yuan Shu's ignorance, but a man's love for a woman.He wanted to marry this girl, and he thought about it all the time, thinking that girls should do the same.However, everything changed, and he was defeated by another woman.

When Yuan Li said those words bluntly on purpose, Xiao Rui was still a paranoid young man. In his conception, how could women and women get along together.When he was sent away from Tiandu, he was waiting to come back again, but now that he came back and saw the little man he missed day and night, it was too late.

Yuan Shu's headache was unbearable, and she couldn't speak a complete sentence. She didn't know what Xiaorui's intention was, so she could only try her best to cover her throbbing temples, and endured the painful moan to roll her throat.

"Ah Yu, remember that year when we planted flowers together in the plum garden? I really miss that time, when you said you liked pink plums, I told everyone that the only pink plum in the world was the most beautiful, just because you liked it."

Speaking of those years, Xiaorui never complained, but recalled in anticipation, a little lonely but inexplicably happy.Not only did he take Yuan Shu's love as his favorite, he even planted a plum grove in the Xiao Mansion with his own hands. He originally planned to give it to Yuan Shu as a wedding present, but now the beauty is no longer his.

Those words, those scenes, Yuan Shu remembered, because there was no Yuan Li, Xiao Rui was the only person she was willing to get close to, when she was young, Yi Nuo smiled more for Bomei people, she was willing to do everything, but in the end she was hurt Deepest, Yuan Shu is also very ashamed.

"My mother once said that it would be my blessing to marry Ah Yuan as a wife. When I was 14 years old, I built a new courtyard in the Duke's Mansion, just to prepare for the big wedding. Afterwards, every year when I came to Tiandu, I You will always ask people what objects you like, keep them in mind, and when you return to the Xiao Mansion, you will find them one by one, and put them all in the Xinyuan."

He had fantasized countless times that the scene of a young girl and her alluring beauty, wearing red make-up and wedding gown, must be a special and grand scene. In the envy of everyone, opening the courtyard that only belonged to them and giving her everything, Everything is beautiful and unrealistic.

The long eyelashes moved lightly, tears fell, it would be a lie to say that she was not moved, although Yuan Shu knew that she didn't love Xiaorui, but she never thought that Xiaorui would love her so much.We have known each other for several years, and there are too many things that Xiaorui has never counted. Which of those little things is not the deep love of the young man?It's just that Yuan Shu didn't have time to accept it.

"No... I'm going to talk..." To miss is to miss, and it's useless to say it again. No matter how good Xiaorui is to her, she can't tolerate him anymore.

With a sad smile, Xiao Rui finally regained his last thoughts, half-stretched his long arms on the top of Yuan Shu's head, and caressed slowly, like a waterfall of blue hair, across his fingers just like when he was a child.

"Do you want to know why I changed the medicine instead of stopping it?" Knowing that this answer was what Yuan Shu wanted most, Xiao Rui frowned and said it.

Yuan Shu was in severe pain, but it was not difficult to hear the strangeness in Xiao Rui's words, panting uncomfortably and glaring at him, but she was calling Yuan Li's name for the first time in her heart.

"Because... I want to punish you."

Punish her for falling in love with someone else.

At the beginning, Xiao Rui had been waiting for too long without being summoned and unable to enter the capital. The only thing he didn't expect was that the person who would pick him up would be Princess Yuan, the woman who would always stand behind Yuan Zhi.In the past four years, he has heard more or less things about Yuan Shu, but most of them are related to the empress. He hated himself and Yuan Li, but in the end, time settled them one by one.

Stepping into Tiandu again, talking to Yuan Shu again, Xiaorui knew it was over when he didn't see the expected smile.Like Yuan Shu, after Yuyuan was forced to wear flowers that time, he no longer liked plum blossoms, but he chose the most beautiful ones in the plum garden to give to Yuan Shu, just to explore the girl's mind.

In the past when he gave plum branches to Yuan Shu, she would always happily hold them for a closer look, but this time it was gone... After he watched her walk away, he threw the plum branches in his hand on the ground, just like when he saw Yuan Li for the first time. At that time, it was like a plum hairpin abandoned by Yuan Li.

"I know that Ah Yuan likes her, but I just can't figure it out, why do you like her, can you tell me?" A trace of vulnerability that cannot be concealed surges up, no matter how a man learns to hide it, after all, when facing failure, he is somewhat dare not.

Unexpectedly, he still lost to a woman, a woman who dominated the world, a woman... who made him feel intimidated.

The slender wrist that was caressing her forehead was held by Xiao Rui into his hands. The constant pressure from her palm made Yuan Shu have to think about this question—why does she like Yuan Li?Because of Yuan Li's love or because of her kindness to her?At this moment, Yuan Shu couldn't think of what it was for.

After waiting for a long time for the answer, Xiao Rui finally laughed in a deep voice, the loneliness and sourness in the smile is probably only he can understand, he squeezed Yuan Shu's stiff wrist, and said: "Okay, don't say anything, since Ah You have your own reasons for choosing to be with her."

Xiao Rui loves her, but his love is not as extreme as Yuan Li's, even though he tried his best to change himself, and even tried to do something to Yuan Shu.But everything disappeared the moment they saw Yuan Shu.

Her heart is no longer with him, so what's the use of forcing her to stay?So, when he learned that Princess Yuan intended to match them, he changed his mind.He secretly replaced the distracting medicine with a headache medicine, to make Princess Yuan not doubt the efficacy of the medicine for a while, and to punish Yuan Shu.

"Loving you for a few hours should be worth the pain I have suffered all these years. I know that you are most afraid of pain in your life, but does Ah Yuan know how uncomfortable I am? You fell in love with someone else, you forgot about me, it's really good uncomfortable..."

As early as the moment he changed the dressing, he chose to let go.After all, he still couldn't bear Yuan Shu to be hurt. Apart from being unwilling to return to Tiandu again, he was naturally worried.

"Ah Yuan is a good girl, she shouldn't be like this...Call me Brother Rui again, I will leave after dawn, go to the places you once said, and travel around the world."

I don't know how much concentration he used to suppress the love for several years at one point. He knew it was parting, but he still smiled gently and tried hard to find himself when he was a boy. He leaned close to Yuan Shu and slowly Recalling the beginning.

Knowing what Xiaorui meant, Yuan Shu was naturally stunned, she didn't expect him to do this for her, the tears that fell on his neck belonged to his sadness.Yuan Shu couldn't say anything to persuade him to stay, just like four years ago when he stood on the tower and watched him leave, he knew that the relationship between the two had been severed long ago, and they would never have any intersection again in this life.

Even though the pain was unbearable, she was able to hold it back, this was her guilt towards him, with the bloody smell of biting her lips, she called out weakly: "Brother Rui..."

As he thought, as he read, everything seemed to go back to the time when we first met in the plum garden in midsummer many years ago.

When the thin lips touched the pink lips with a trembling, he greedily wanted to leave a mark of farewell. He didn't want her memory to fade away like this in this life. He wanted her to remember his existence forever. remember.

"Oh!"

The door of the room with the wind chime hanging on it was suddenly kicked open with a strong kick——
