The princess is reborn

Chapter 22 "Thank you, let me go"

I have said so many words, but Xie Yan never said a word, his expression was as indifferent as a delicate white jade statue.

At this time, the sunlight shone through the window pane, barely falling on his cold fingertips, and I realized that his hands had already been clenched into fists, as if he was trying his best to suppress the surging anger.

After hesitating for a while, he seemed to have made a lot of determination and made the biggest concession, and said to me, "Feng Muqiu, I will give you a chance to take back what I just said."

After saying these words, he finally lowered his eyes to look at me, the end of his eyes was as deep as the rolling hills in the distance, his thin lips were tight, his face was like snow and ice falling in winter, which made me feel cold from the bottom of my heart to my fingertips.

Xie Yan's forbearance towards me has always been like a kind of charity, a gift from the superior, even if he had a private meeting with others behind my back, he didn't give me half an explanation, and I have no right to criticize it.

Thinking of this, my tears stopped, and I just smiled and said, "His Royal Highness, please return the ring to the Caomin. Although Caomin is stupid, he knows that what he said is like water poured out, and there is no reason to take it back."

As soon as I finished speaking, Xie Yan untied the sachet at his waist and threw it on the ground fiercely. His breath was rarely messy, and the broken hair on his forehead could barely cover his deep gray eyes, as if he was irritated but unable to vent his anger of beasts.

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, for your kindness."

The ring was indeed in the sachet. After I took out the ring, I wanted to hang up the sachet for him, but then I laughed at myself for presumptuousness, I just gently put the sachet on the ground, and gave Xie Yan a big gift, "The grass-roots leave."

I was about to walk to the door, but Xie Yan's deep and cold voice came from behind, with a strong sense of warning, "If you walk out of this door today, don't regret it."

I didn't look back and walked resolutely, but when I came out of the boat, facing the lotus fields and the dazzling sunshine, I felt powerless and my mind was spinning.

I have acted like this this time, and with Xie Yan's character and temper, I am afraid we will never meet again in this lifetime.

Thinking of this, I stepped into the black boat and fell into the lake.Fortunately, it is summer now, and the lake is not too cold. The boatman picked me up immediately and saved my life.

I went back to the prime minister's mansion wet, with a dazed expression like a walking corpse. When I just walked through the living room, I saw my father applying medicine.

There was a wound on his forehead that was bumped by the sharp corner of a hard object, and it was bleeding, and the imperial doctor was bandaging him.

When he saw me, he turned his body slightly to cover the scar on his forehead. Seeing that I was completely soaked, he frowned and beckoned me over, "How did you make it like this?"

I tried to smile naturally, and joked with him, "When the weather is hot, go to the lake to cool off."

The imperial doctor sighed while bandaging my father, and complained, "I now understand the truth that being with a king is like being with a tiger. Prime Minister, you should take a good rest and make plans early."

After saying goodbye, he left.

I had an ominous premonition, and quickly grabbed my father's hand and asked, "Daddy, what's the matter with the injury on your head? Was it caused by the emperor? Why did he treat you like this?"

My dad shook his head and didn't answer my questions.

He is used to this, hiding all his worries in the bottom of his heart, never telling me when he was wronged in the court, he would only go to my mother's ancestral hall to sit overnight.

"It's just a small injury. Daddy accidentally knocked it on himself. Go take a hot bath quickly, so you don't catch a cold." My dad obviously didn't want to talk to me, so he just sent me to take a bath.

I still wanted to ask, but my father's face turned cold, and there seemed to be thousands of melancholy in his eyes.

I pursed my mouth and didn't speak anymore. Even if my father told me, I can't help. If I ask again, my father will probably be angry. I don't want to make him angry.

For ordinary people, the sunset at the lake in summer will only add a touch of coolness, but I was sick for five days, with a high fever, lingering on the bed, and had a bizarre dream.

In the dream, Xie Yan married the Shangshu's daughter, a beautiful marriage, full of red makeup, very lively.I saw him in the crowd dressed in red, riding a tall horse, with happy expressions on his brows, and I felt my heart throbbing.

The fact that I am a man means that there is no possibility between Xie Yan and me. I insisted on forcing it, and I have brought the blame for this fate.

I was sick for half a month, but finally got better, and my father's injury also healed very well. He saw that I was depressed all day long, and I no longer went out to cause trouble, catch cats and dogs, so he was very worried and insisted that I go out more Walk around, get to know more people, I can't screw him, so I can only go to the banquet in the palace with the cheek.

Coincidentally, I met that woman from Guanxin Lake at the banquet.

She didn't dress up specially today, she just combed a cloudy bun, and the style of the cloud shirt on her body was also simple. When she saw me, she immediately showed a surprised look on her face. I put an index finger on my lips to signal her to keep silent , and sat beside her.

After I sat down, an eunuch reported that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had arrived, and I saluted with everyone, without even looking at the seated person.

I feel somewhat ashamed towards the woman from the bottom of my heart, because of my willful and reckless behavior that day, she must have been somewhat frightened.

Speaking of it, she didn't do anything wrong, she even behaved properly, but she was ordered by her parents to swim in the lake, but I acted like a clown.

I didn't know how to apologize for a while, but she smiled at me, with a calm and generous expression, and said softly, "It will be you that day."

I could only nod in embarrassment, "What happened that day was all my nonsense, His Royal Highness is not that kind of person, girl, don't misunderstand him, it's all my fault."

"What's the matter?"

Seeing how nervous I was, she smiled at me, shook her head and sighed, "I thought my family background would help me a bit, but when I met you that day, I knew it was impossible."

"Xie Yan saw you, which is clearly different from seeing me."

I didn't have the heart to care about Xie Yan's matter, I hung my head and didn't speak, but the woman seemed to need an outlet to vent.

"When you appeared, there was light in Xie Yan's eyes. I have been swimming with him in the lake for many days, and he never laid his eyes on me. Even when I spoke to him, he always ignored me."

"After meeting you, I realized that a character like him can have all kinds of emotions."

"Oh, what emotion?" I drank the wine in my hand, and the corner of my mouth curved into a sarcasm, "He has always only treated me with indifference, sarcasm, and pity."

The woman shook her head, "When you left that day, Xie Yan lost his temper. I have never seen him like that. I thought that a person like him who is like a fairy would not have the emotions and desires of us mortals."

I don't want to talk too much, I just drink and express my apologies to the woman from time to time.

I was very uncomfortable staying at the banquet. I always felt that there was a cold and hot gaze falling on me, which made me feel like a thorn in my back, but I still couldn't find the owner of the gaze.

I made an appointment with the woman to go boating and pick lotus together next time, so I left the table.

I drank too much today, my head was dizzy, and my steps were weak. I took advantage of the night breeze and went to the garden. There is a place in the imperial garden where a large area of ​​wisteria was planted. I walked through the rockery and strange rocks, following my memory To find the sea of ​​flowers.

But I felt dizzy, so I could only rest my hands on the strange rocks to adjust my breathing. The rockery and strange rocks here formed a natural passage, hiding in it, and people outside could not recognize your trace, and it was very difficult. Few pass by.

But at this time, there were footsteps not far away. I tried to open my eyes, trying to see people clearly in the dark night, but because of the backlight, I only saw a cloud of shadows.

The man's actions were extremely arrogant, as if he was bursting with anger. He pushed me against the rockery, covered my eyes with his cool hands, and bent down to bite my lips.

There was a strong smell of alcohol on his body, and I couldn't distinguish other flavors. The sharp teeth pierced the tip of my tongue, and the bloody smell spread in our mouths.

I struggled desperately, but like a fly shaking a tree, my hands were grabbed above my head by him, my eyes were covered, I couldn't see, I couldn't speak, my five senses became sharp, I could clearly hear the man's deep breathing, The sound of water churning my lips and tongue, and the whimpering sound I made because I couldn't speak.

I was completely incapable of resisting, and could only let others get what they wanted, and even my breath was taken away. When I regained my consciousness, that man's cold lips rubbed against my neck gently with bloody smell, like a poisonous snake patrolling.

"Thank you, let me go."

I was just probing, but the person who came stopped all his actions, just to verify my guess.Xie Yan took away the hands that covered my eyes, but did not loosen the restraint on my hands.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Xie Yan's face hidden in the moonlight, his gray pupils were as cold as frost and snow, and there was still blood on the corners of his lips, making him look both good and evil, like a demon or a fairy.
