"You, just be content and happy, don't be so greedy, like a cat that can't be fed enough!" Li Ruiyun nodded her nose with a smile and said drunkenly.
Wan'er wanted to be the wife of the wife who loved the man most, so she took advantage of the drunkenness of the evening and brought it up. However, she encountered a nail that was neither soft nor hard, and she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
Outside the palace, there are flowers and branches, and a waxing moon hangs on the dark branches. The night was already dark, and the water-like moonlight was soft and tranquil, flowing slowly among the flowers and trees, and its silvery light covered the open space in front of the heavenly steps.
"Don't leave me, don't leave me..."
In the hazy night, Wan'er seemed to hear Li Ruiyun murmuring, and then her body was bound into a hot and powerful embrace.
The ambiguity seems to have penetrated into the air with these sweet words, fermenting and spreading like a cocoon.
Wan'er's heart was filled with ecstasy. She pressed her beautiful and delicate cheek to hers and whispered softly: "Ruiyun, you...are you telling the truth?..."
Li Ruiyun said vaguely: "Of course, in this world, I only care about you, and I only love you, Mengxuan, Mengxuan..."
Wan'er felt her head pounding, shock mixed with collapse, and injury; her heart that had been burning to boiling suddenly became cold to the bottom, and her cheeks were filled with sad tears before she realized it.
Mengxuan, Mengxuan, why are you still that woman... Now you are lying next to me, but you are always thinking about other women. Is this the so-called bedfellows and different dreams?
I really don’t understand what’s so good about that woman that all you talk about in your sleep and dreams is her name; am I just her substitute in your mind?
Li Ruiyun, do you know how much I love you? Do you know how much I have paid for you over the years?
For you, I disappeared from Jinling Palace for so many years, silently and humiliatingly working as a servant girl with no self, who could be ordered around by others; for you, I secretly tracked the whereabouts of Princess Huanyu, and then secretly went to The Ouchi guards went to Li Zhishan to inform the police, and even risked their lives to betray Ling Yun under an extremely complicated situation; for you, I willingly endured so many grievances without any complaints...
I obey your words. As long as you give me an order, I can do anything - I just don't understand. I love you so humblely, but in the end, why can't I get your heart? …
After thinking about it, she couldn't help but feel sad. She couldn't suppress the sour emotion in her heart. She felt a lump in her throat, and when she rubbed it with her fingers, some salty and wet liquid condensed on the tip of her nose. She seemed to be missing a piece of her heart, numb. The rustle hurt.
Everything was quiet outside the window, except for the crickets whispering lowly, as if they were choking silently...
Early the next morning, Li Ruiyun opened his sleepy eyes from his drowsiness, yawned lazily, and turned over slightly.
As he moved, he felt the fragrant and fragrant softness of the person around him, and then touched a hint of coolness, wet and slippery, a weak feeling like water droplets falling on the quiet lake.
"Are you crying?" Li Ruiyun's heart throbbed unconsciously; when he looked back, he saw that the person next to him had a haggard face, red and swollen eyes, and tears still lingering on his face. He couldn't help but feel a little strange, "Wan'er, What's wrong with you, what happened?"
Wan'er didn't speak, her beautiful eyes were filled with an overwhelming sadness; she just bit her lip and shook her head gently.
"Look at the devastated look on your face, like a wronged little kitten. Do you still want to hide it from me? What's on your mind? Why don't you tell the truth!" Li Ruiyun glanced at her suspiciously and smiled. There is a bit of seriousness and a bit of joking in it.
Wan'er hesitated for a moment, then raised her tearful eyes to look at him, and said with a chuckle: "Ruiyun, you...can you tell me the truth?"
"Ah, what?..." The sudden words made Li Ruiyun confused and a little confused.
"I mean, you...do you really love me?..." Wan'er hesitated several times, and finally made up her mind to say the words she had copied so many times deep in her heart.
"Fool, what are you talking about?" Li Ruiyun stood up slightly and yawned lazily while slowly getting dressed.
"No, I want you to answer me directly, do you really love me?" Wan'er's eyes grabbed him without blinking, her eyes full of stubbornness.
——Oh, women are trouble... Li Ruiyun rolled his eyes helplessly, complaining in his heart.
"Then you still need to ask? There are hundreds of beauties in the world, but I only love you!" He stood up from the brocade couch and stretched out casually.
Wan'er also put on her clothes at this time, straightened her body and stood in front of him. Her eyes were fixed on his face, and the light spots in her black eyes were sparse and broken, "But last night, I seemed to hear you mumbling the names of other women..."
"Is there any other woman?" Li Ruiyun rolled his eyelids nonchalantly, with a perfunctory tone, "Are you in a sleep state, or did you hear wrongly?"
"No, I heard it clearly." Wan'er's face was pale, her eyes were red, and she said almost word by word through her teeth: "The name of the woman you are calling out in your heart is Ding Meng Xuan. —”
Wan'er's voice was low, but it struck his heart with great force. Li Ruiyun looked stunned for a moment, just staring down at the shining jade-colored finger in his hand, and said nothing for a long time.
"It's been so long, why do I still mention her?..." His Adam's apple slid slightly, and he tried his best to control the restless emotions in his heart, and finally spoke slowly.
"I should be the one to ask you this. It's been so long, and her people are no longer here, why are you still talking about her? On the other hand, I, Yang Wan'er, am devoted to you, and my love for you is unforgettable, but you Why don't you always take it to heart?
"Not only that, but you also repeatedly perfunctory me. Even when I asked you for the title of wife, you were not willing to give it - haha, it turns out that you only have that woman in your heart, and the position in your heart is only for that woman. Women keep it, right?..." Wan'er smiled bitterly.
"Stop talking." Li Ruiyun was stunned for a moment, and his originally peaceful eyes were immediately covered by a sharp blackening.
"Why can't I say it?" Wan'er's voice was choked with sobs, "I just don't understand, apart from her noble birth, how is that woman better than me? Is she as beautiful as me? Is her character as gentle as mine? Does she truly love you? Is she loyal to you?..."
"I want you to stop talking!..." Li Ruiyun was almost furious at this time.
In a daze, Wan'er suddenly had an illusion, feeling that her words seemed to hit his heart with invisible power, extinguishing the innate pride in his bones inch by inch.
Looking at the almost out-of-control expression of the man opposite, Wan'er knew that enough was enough and shut up immediately.
But at this time, she could no longer stop the floodgates of emotion. She was like a moth that threw herself into the fire and died resolutely, moving forward without hesitation or hesitation.
——Just die, it is better than such sporadic torture and suffering; she has already had enough of such painful and entangled days! After being suppressed for so many years, it’s finally time to release and vent.
"Haha, I almost forgot. In fact, she doesn't love you at all - your feelings for her are just like my feelings for you. They are just wishful thinking. What she keeps thinking about is actually other men..."
As she spoke, she laughed miserably, with madness and despair on her face, continuing to make things worse for him.
That woman finally revealed the pain deep in Li Ruiyun's heart without mercy. Before that, everyone, including Ding Jinzhi, had chosen to avoid that extremely sensitive topic, intentionally or unintentionally, tacitly.
That was what happened between him and Ding Mengxuan.
Ding Mengxuan, the daughter of Ding Jinzhi, the Minister of Rites, was a beautiful, dignified, gentle and virtuous woman. He once loved her so much, but her heart betrayed him in the end, and she was thinking about other men until her death; she even took him for her. The name of the outhouse in Qinglong Villa where they were resettled was changed to "Mengyunxuan" - just for the man with "Yun" in his name.
That man is Li Ruiyun’s mortal enemy Ling Yun!
Now, she was dead, and so was the man, but he still couldn't tolerate it: he couldn't tolerate his bottom line being challenged, he couldn't tolerate the pride in his bones being thwarted, and he couldn't tolerate the pain deep in his heart being ruthlessly destroyed. Revealed.
Until today, the woman in front of him who was forced to nearly collapse bloodyly revealed the scars in his heart - at that moment, his forbearance and restraint finally reached their limit.
His eyes were blood red and he was gritting his teeth. He raised his hand and grabbed the long sword on the table. With a clang, the long sword was unsheathed. It penetrated the space like a white silk ribbon and reached Wan'er's chest.
Wan'er stood there upright, her tears mixed with reddish blood kept rolling down, and she smiled softly, broken and sad, as if she was in a state of madness.
She wanted to see for herself how this ruthless man would do to herself, the woman who loved him deeply!
The faint morning light filtered in from outside the window; the light was mottled, reflecting Li Ruiyun's face, as pale as frost.
Li Ruiyun's face was confused for a moment, and the hand holding the sword was trembling slightly...
