[Donggong Derivatives] see you again

Li Chengyin's hair intertwined in front of my eyes, in the cut vision, I couldn't see his expression, I could only feel him slowly getting up to face me, and brushing away his drooping hair.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed my wrist on the neck, and said harshly: "Do you think this can threaten me?"

As he spoke, he increased the strength in his hand, trying to break off the hairpin.

I smiled: "Li Chengyin, it's been so long, what do you think you can stop me from doing?"

He took a breath in his hands.

I continued: "You can take away the hairpin, you can also take away all the swords, but can you control it for a lifetime?"

I moved the hairpin closer, Li Chengyin tried again to prevent it from getting closer.

I simply relaxed, let him pull away, and said clearly word by word:

"I can also jump off cliffs and city walls..."

Li Chengyin suddenly raised his head and looked at me, his eyes were full of shock and pain, his lips were murmured but he couldn't utter a word.

I looked straight at him: "Didn't you hear me? I can jump off a cliff, jump..."

"Shut up! You shut up!!"

He snorted violently, covering my lips tightly with his hand.

Yong Niang is right, this is his gate of life, I can clearly see that every word of mine is cut in his heart, making the brows more gloomy.

Li Chengyin let go of my hand, covering my face with both hands: "You...you are not allowed to say... say one more word! I will! I will..."

His fingers trembled with his voice, and he couldn't exert any strength at all. I pulled his hand down: "What do you do? Kill me? Like killing me, A Weng, Gu Jian?"

i closed my eyes...

"I can't ask for it."

Li Chengyin's long hair drooped down again due to the movement of his body, brushing against my cheek, just like his usual gentleness.

There was only the whistling north wind in my ears, and he and I were in a stalemate like this. After an unknown period of time, he finally sat up straight.

I opened my eyes, and his hands slowly moved towards my temples, pulling the broken hair behind my ears, then helped me pull up my clothes, and habitually tucked in the quilt.

Because of his series of actions, my breathing almost stopped, and his hands were also frozen.

I saw him pursing his mouth in the dark, trying to smile, it might be too difficult, he gave up after all, got out of bed and got dressed little by little, and said softly:

"rest early."

Finally, he lowered his voice, as if afraid of waking me up from the moment of silence:

"I'm leaving, Xiaofeng."

I knew that I shouldn't look at him anymore, but I still watched his staggering back through the gauze curtain as thin as a light mist, and pushed open the doors one after another to go away.

I heard the "bang bang bang" sound of the wind blowing through the window, Shi En called out from outside the house: "Your Highness..."

Li Chengyin didn't seem to speak, and I couldn't hear his footsteps either.

Suddenly there was a crackling sound, and then Ji En exclaimed: "Your Highness!..."

I sat up straight almost instinctively, clenched my fists to control myself from opening the window to look.

After a while, I seemed to hear Li Cheng Yin's voice, Shi En answered in a low voice, and then there was no more sound.

I slowed down my breathing and shouted, "Yong Niang!"

Yong Niang walked in quickly: "What's the matter? Crown Princess?"

I lowered my eyes and didn't dare to look at her: "Just now... what happened to Li Chengyin?"

Yong Niang was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and replied: "It's nothing...Your Highness just... just fell down."

I unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, the strength in my hand disappeared, and the emerald green hairpin fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.

I looked at the red marks printed on my hands, and shook my head mockingly:

"Yong Niang... I thought it was very shallow, but I didn't expect it to be so deep, it became an indelible mark."

This time, Yong Niang didn't answer.

This is the third time I've poured medicine out the window.

Yong Niang whispered a lot in my ear, but I still didn't want to hear it, and stared at the sunken snow outside the window in a daze.

Li Chengyin suddenly appeared in the courtyard, walking towards the window, I looked at him, wondering if it was because the snow was too bright, making his face pale, and his feet were not stable.

He looked under the window and asked Yong Niang: "Did you drink today?"

Yong Niang quickly lowered her head: "It's... the Crown Princess..."

Li Chengyin clenched his lips tightly and clenched his teeth, exhaled a long breath before he said to me: "What do you want?"

I looked at him calmly: "Who knows what kind of mess will be mixed here?"

Li Chengyin pursed his lips and swallowed forcefully, endured for a while before saying: "I don't have to."

I stood up and saluted him: "If His Royal Highness has nothing else to do, I will not accompany you."

After that, I stretched out my hand to close the window, but Li Chengyin pressed the window frame with a "slap", and after wandering his eyes on my face for a while, he said: "You don't want to drink to toss your body, do you? Good."

He let go of his hand: "Then I will accompany you, and neither of us will have a hard time."

I didn't understand what he meant, and I didn't want to explore further, so I closed the window hard.

The winter snow gradually began to melt, and after a large area of ​​original color was exposed on the ground, Yuanzheng ushered in the palace.

As the Crown Princess of the Rich Dynasty, although everyone knows that my relationship with this Crown Prince is awkward, I still know the etiquette of being the Crown Princess of Xizhou.

Yong Niang helped me dress up early in the morning, put her hands on my waist, and sighed lowly: "Princess Concubine, this clothes can't support the scene."

Let him go, I've been living my life in a muddle, so can I care what other people talk about in private?

Yong Niang helped me who was dressed complicatedly to step carefully into the main hall, as soon as I entered, I had a straight look with Li Chengyin.

He quickly looked away and sat down under the table.I also sat down with Shi Shi, and the distance between him and him was only one person, but it was like an opaque barrier, and no one could see the other.

The palace man brought the snacks, I was a little thirsty, I picked up the cup to drink some wine, but felt that the taste was like water, I quickly put down the cup and whispered to Yong Niang: "Shouldn't it be Tusu wine? What is this? "

Yong Niang glanced at Li Chengyin, said in a low voice: "His Royal Highness ordered someone to change the water for you."

I pushed the wine glass away, glanced at Li Chengyin from the corner of my eye, he was sitting upright, occasionally raised his hand to cover his mouth and coughed, I saw his eyes shifting, and quickly looked away.

The palace servants began to add main dishes to the tables. I smelled the familiar smell of meat and saw a steaming slice of meat on the table. With a thought, I picked up the chopsticks and tasted it.

It really is...mandarin duck roast.

I put down my chopsticks, looked away from it, and ate something else.

Although Li Chengyin's table was full of things, but he seemed to have less appetite than me, he didn't move his chopsticks, his eyes were fixed on the center, at first I thought he was looking at the dancers in various poses on the stage, but then The dancers dispersed, but his eyes still stayed in the distance, wondering what he was thinking.

The old emperor was in poor health, and there were only a few princes in the audience, not even anyone to talk about the scene. The family feast didn't last long before it broke up.

After Li Chengyin accompanied the old emperor out, I got up, Yong Niang helped me straighten my skirt, and helped me walk towards the palace gate.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, there was a sudden "boom" sound in the sky.

I looked up, and the colorful fireworks spread out, lighting up the night sky, and I could clearly see the white clouds hidden in the darkness.

I stood there for a long time, lowered my head and said, "Yong Niang, let's go back."

Yong Niang stepped forward quickly, at this moment, a bright figure appeared in the corner of her eye.

Li Chengyin came from the corridor around the corner, the crackling firelight from the sky illuminated half of his thin face, but his eyes kept enveloping me.

I respectfully saluted: "His Royal Highness."

Li Chengyin stood in front of me and handed me a letter.

I froze for a moment, Yong Niang quickly took it.

Li Chengyin's voice was a little hoarse: "This is from Xizhou, I think you should be missed."

I didn't know what he was planning. I glanced at the letter. I could read the writing on the cover, it was my brother's handwriting.

Naturally, I should thank you for accepting the prince's wishes.I politely bent my knees to thank you, but Li Chengyin suddenly extended his hand, which made me take half a step back in shock.

There was no sullen expression on his face, and he said softly: "The crown prince's Hua Sheng is crooked."

As he said that, he took a step closer and stretched out his hand to straighten Hua Sheng on top of my head.

I was stunned for a moment, until he withdrew his hand again, then thought of saluting again, Li Chengyin didn't stop me this time, when I straightened up, he said:

"Xiaofeng...I won't force you to drink any more Wangchuan water, so...you can drink medicine to improve your body."

I looked up, his eyelids drooped slightly, his eyes were gentle: "This time... I really didn't lie to you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around with a smile, his large court clothes floated up in the air, and his thin wrists hung down by his side, like fallen leaves fluttering in the bleak wind.

Yong Niang presented the letter to me with both hands, and with the help of the faint palace lantern, I recognized the homely words babbled on it:

[Xiaofeng, your sister-in-law is pregnant, and you will have a nephew soon.

Your little red horse has gotten close to mine recently, and is thinking about matching up, but is afraid that the bloodline will not be preserved, so I hope you can make a decision.

Everything is fine in Xizhou, if you are free, please reply quickly, and I will send Duoji to Beijing to see you, so that I can bring some things you like]

They were all plain words, but they made my eyes sore.

Yong Niang held my hand and said softly: "Crown Princess... your family still misses you, and there will be more in the future..."

She held my arm: "Crown Princess, it's very windy here, let's go home with your maid."

I raised my head, wiped the corners of my eyes, and nodded slightly:

"it is good."

On the second morning after Yuanzheng, the sun was very strong, and the snow on the eaves melted into water, one drop after another, hitting the ground one after another, forming small puddles.

It is said that melting snow is colder, and I shivered firmly while holding the boiling wooden bowl full of soup and medicine.

Yong Niang put on a thicker cloak for me, and said in a nagging voice: "The wind is the most piercing when the snow is melting, I will close the window for you so that I won't be frozen."

While talking, she stretched out her hand to open the window. At this time, Shi En rushed over eagerly. Because the ground was slippery, he was wrestling a bit, and his hat was tilted to one side funny. .

I drank the soup in one gulp, was wiping my mouth with a handkerchief, looked at Shi En anxiously and said loudly: "What's the matter of panic?"

After Shi En glanced at me, he quickly knelt down: "Crown Princess! Crown Princess, go and see Your Highness!"

My heart skipped a beat, and I unconsciously clenched the edge of the bowl: "What's wrong with him?"

Shi En kowtowed: "The crown prince has been drowsy since the night of Yuanzheng. He doesn't drink any rice or water. He only calls your name. I really have no other choice, so I disobeyed the crown prince's order and came to find you!"

I mumbled my lips for a while, and asked, "Disobey his orders?"

Shi En kowtowed again: "The crown prince's illness has been dragging on for some time. In fact, he vomited blood when he left here that night. It's just that he told the minister that you look hard-hearted, but you can't see people suffer. I'm afraid that you will know how sad you are. No one else is allowed to say it."

I was terrified when I heard it, and I tightened my grip and smashed the wooden bowl to the ground: "He is talking nonsense! He is self-righteous!"

Shi En's voice carried an inaudible cry: "Crown Princess, this is His Highness's old illness...he...he saw that you were willing to drink soup and medicine, and refused to drink it even if you were angry. Now...you don't See, his clothes are covered in blood, and he looks terrible..."

Shi En's clothes were dirty with muddy water, his forehead was red and swollen, his appearance was even more ridiculous than before, but no one present was smiling.

I stared down at him blankly, my mind blank.

Seeing that I hadn't moved, Shi En wiped the muddy water off his face, and fell low on the ground:

"Your Highness's relapse of old disease... is for political affairs, actually... it's also for you!"

"What did you say?" I finally came back to my senses, my heart sank violently...

"What the hell are you guys hiding?"
