the one who lives in my body

The marriage between the Xie family and the Tao family is the guarantee that the queen wants. With this relationship, it sounds extremely reasonable to ask the Xie family to bow their heads to the queen's side in the future.

"If you don't know how to speak, I can help you contact Dong Rong." Tao Wenyan took out the communication device with a reasonable look, and it seemed that he couldn't wait any longer.

Indeed, now is the time to worry.

"Princess...how is it now?" I secretly clenched my fists and stared at Tao Wenyan's face, I asked.

"I'm afraid it's not very optimistic. The empress hates the person who killed the late king, and she has planned to deal with it for a long time. Now that the princess is found to be related to him, it is probably... The empress has given us too little time. Although the general has been I'm trying to find a way, but... you know, Namin has no real power now, and the queen has blocked the road. She can't wait any longer. It is reported that An Boyan has resisted the decree and returned to the capital, and she is also trying to find a way to investigate , searched out is a dead word, "

Tao Wenyan made serious plans, and I felt cold all over. How much does he know about the truth about the queen's regicide?Whether he is kept in the dark, or pretends not to know, since he has already had an affair with the queen, no matter what I say, he will not make any changes.

He said that the queen hated the person who killed the former king?It's ridiculous, she's just in a hurry, because Princess Meng and An Boyan are the few people who are closest to the truth, as long as they are killed, the rest of them will naturally not be able to make a fuss.

"I see." Standing up, my head was still a little dizzy, "I need to think about it."

"Are you still planning to procrastinate?" Tao Wenyan obviously couldn't understand my behavior, "The princess is in danger of being executed at any time, I need you to give me an answer quickly, the general and Dong Rong must be waiting for your reply, you What are you hesitating about?"

"That's enough, you." Straightened up, squinting at the past, in my eyes, this man has never been so pathetic and despicable, "I will contact Xie Dongrong myself."

When I walked out of the gate of Tao’s house, the sky was very dark, and I felt something was pressing heavily on top of my head, making me breathless, what should I do?Indeed, taking the princess out now and ensuring her safety is the top priority. Although Xie Dongrong will certainly have plans, the princess is still with the queen after all. If the queen sees the wrong direction, the princess may become a threat to Xie Dongrong Side hostages.

With erratic footsteps, I walked on the busiest street in the capital.

I don't know if it's because of the rain, but there are not as many people on the street as before. When I walked into the mall, the air-conditioning made me shiver almost instinctively.

I don't have much money with me, but it's no problem to buy a pair of simple rings.

In my imagination, the wedding ring should be selected and ordered by me and my lover, or handcrafted by myself... I originally thought that I would let my lover have the best things in the world.

But the reality is so cruel. The rush of time does not even allow me to make more choices. The lack of funds makes me only go to an ordinary store and choose an ordinary style.

Xie Dongrong's phone line was always busy, and I didn't know where he was, so after I sent him a message, I sat on a stone bench outside the mall and waited quietly.

After about an hour of touching, the communicator lights up.

"I'm in the garage below No. xx on xx street. If you want to come to me, try to walk after 3:[-] in the morning, and make sure no one is following you." At the end, I attached a small emoji, which is very cute, but also It can't hide the exhaustion in his words.

"Okay, I see." I replied.

"be careful."

After a little investigation, I found that the place was very remote and hidden, probably on the edge of the capital city. I didn't expect Xie Dongrong to go to that kind of place. Did the queen force them here?

I took a detour to Naming, and from a distance, I saw soldiers stationed at the gate. The perennial green plants inside had turned scorched black at this moment, and from the houses farther away, black smoke was spreading into the sky.

No wonder I said, "The situation in Namin is not optimistic now", which is much more serious than I imagined.

After the princess's family left, the royal family trampled on the land without mercy.

I took a taxi and arrived at the boundary described by Xie Dongrong in advance, and found a simple hotel to stay there. When the long night came, I walked out the door.

This place can no longer be regarded as a "street". With dim lights, the dark road ahead seems to be bottomless. The sound of water droplets does not know where it comes from, and the occasional continuous dog barking makes people shrink their necks. , will he be here?I can't help but secretly wonder, in fact, it's hard for me to imagine that he would set foot in such a place.

Yet he is there.

Yuemo is the end of the darkness. Under the warm yellow light, his shadow is very short. When he turned his head and looked at me, his blue eyes seemed to be filled with the purest things in this world. He looked over, for a long time, He showed a smile, and then he came over, first looked behind me for a moment, then took my hand, and walked slowly into the deeper darkness.

Feeling the warmth from the palm of my hand, I suddenly felt that I was not afraid. At that moment, it seemed that letting him pull me to any corner of the world would give me peace of mind.

Indeed, it is a basement, which is different from the original ecology of the external streets and alleys, but it is full of sense of technology.

There should be other people coming to this place during the day, but Xie Dongrong is the only one at this moment.

"You're lucky, it's my turn to stay here today." Xie Dongrong's words were relaxed, and his sharpness seemed to have completely faded at the moment, or maybe it was because of exhaustion, anyway, I felt that he was trying to be brave.

"We have to find a way to deal with the princess."

"Yes, I'm already preparing." He sat down on the table, showing a loose and casual look, mixed with a little decadence.

"How to say?"

"There are people in the prison, at least, they won't let the queen do anything now."

"But people are still there with the royal family."

"..." Xie Dongrong was silent. After a long while, he just said: "There is always a way. The royal family just wants me to compromise, and I can't back down at this time. Don't worry, I won't lose."

"I've contacted An Jingtong, and he told me... about the photos."

"Oh, that, you don't have to worry," Xie Dongrong smiled, "It's actually related to Mr. Tao, but even without those photos, it will be a matter of time before the Queen is brought down."

Sure enough, he was still worried about Tao Wenyan, was it because the general was friends with that guy?Or because of... me.

"Can you guarantee success before she attacks the princess?"

"..."

I realized that my tone might be a bit intense, "Sorry...I mean, has Tao Wenyan contacted you recently?"

"Well, I already know what he means." Xie Dongrong raised his eyes, his eyes flickering, "Is this why you came?"

"Yes, but it's not." I walked over, almost not far from his knees, stopped, supported his legs with both hands, and pressed slightly harder, "The princess can't wait, since the queen I promised Tao Wenyan..."

"Then Xie Dongrong, let's get married." As I said that, I took out the ring I bought in the mall and gently opened it before he handed it to him. ..."

"..." Xie Dongrong held my hand holding the ring gift box, "No..." He frowned slightly, "I don't want to do this." He seemed to want to cry, but also seemed to be smiling, happy or happy mock?I can't understand it anymore.

"No... and it's not just because of this." Looking at the overlapping hands of the two, I felt an inexplicable sourness in my heart, "It's because of a lot of considerations, listen to me first... "

When I spoke, Xie Dongrong kept staring at me. I didn't know what his expression meant, and I didn't know if he listened. Maybe he was happy?But it's not completely unconcerned and happy.

"...We have to find a way to get the princess back to us first, so that you can have less worries about your next actions. As for Tao Wenyan, he is for himself from the beginning to the end. You don't have to think about him, and don't worry about it. As he wants, the empress will lose her morality, which will make the public opinion fall to the eldest prince, so that you can..." I didn't finish my sentence.

Xie Dongrong kissed me.

His hands tightly held my arms, his bent knees trembled slightly, he pulled me between his legs, raised his arms, and pulled me into his arms.

"I don't want to marry you like this," he said.

I don't quite understand the meaning of his words, "But the princess..."

"But if I miss this opportunity, I might have no other choice." Xie Dongrong kissed my cheek again, "I am very happy that you are willing to consider for me, but I should be the one who gave the ring. "

He leaned his head on my chest and smiled softly:

"Tao Shu, I love you."

"Tao Shu, I love you."

"Tao Shu...I love you."

At this time, it seems so inappropriate to talk about love or something.

Tao Wenyan responded quickly, as if he was not surprised by our decision, and soon he told me that because of the relationship between the Tao family, the queen was willing to let the princess be released from prison to accompany our "new couple" before getting married. ".

It's strange, at this juncture, the most urgent thing is to marry Xie Dongrong?

We went to collect the certificate the next day.

Different from An Jingtong's three visits to the thatched cottage before, this time it was unexpectedly smooth, and I felt dazed when I got the little red notebook.

Xie Dongrong seemed to be not busy all of a sudden. After receiving the certificate, I asked him to go back to continue his important affairs, but he said that since he no longer has to worry about the safety of the princess, there is only one thing he can do.

That is to wait.

Wait, what are you waiting for?

Answers will come naturally over time, he said.

These days, what he asked me most often was: "Are you willing?"

Dimly, I seemed to understand what he meant, and I also saw the temptation between his eyebrows.

"Of course, I would."

What else can I say?Any other answer would only annoy him, so it would be better not to say it.

Xie Dongrong himself didn't believe it, he raised his hand and scratched the bridge of my nose, "Liar."

fraud?Maybe, sometimes, don't I even lie to myself?

I once lied to myself that I didn't love him, I lied to myself that I didn't care about him, I lied to myself that I could let him go, and I lied to myself that everything was because of him.

I believe what I'm doing is not for nothing, I feel like I've been looking.

Finally, I found a reason to embrace Xie Dongrong again.
