"But I had already said the angry words, how could I take them back? Seeing His Majesty ignore me, my heart was really broken into ten thousand pieces. From the moment I went to the cold palace, I really wanted to go back. His Majesty's side, but he can't let go of my face. "
Xie Ruling tonight is really different from Xie Ruling in the past. If she was a warm fire in the past, now she has become a pool of gentle water, as if she has already merged with the moonlight. As if one body.
"I never thought that I have been gambling for eight years. I refuse to let go of my pride, and His Majesty also ignores me. My heart really hurts."
The moonlight shone on Xie Ruling's body, and even more so, it illuminated the tears in her eyes, which were so sparkling that Chu Yu's heart ached.
"Back then, you were angry with me and you voluntarily went to the cold palace. I didn't expect that you had been gone for eight years. It's been such a long time!"
Chu Yu said distressedly, no one thought it would take eight years at the beginning, they all thought it would come out in two or three months at most, but things are unpredictable, no one expected it!
And eight years is really enough to change a person. Compared with the past, Xie Ruling has changed a lot.
In his impression, Xie Ruling always liked to wear red, as enthusiastic as a bright fire, and she was indulgent and willful in everything she did, but he just liked this kind of temperament.
But now Xie Ruling is so quiet, so quiet that it makes him feel distressed. How much suffering did she have to suffer in the cold palace to become like this?
If he had never seen a person before, he would not have an accurate idea, but now that the real person was standing in front of him, all the scenarios came to mind.
He did like Xie Ruling at first, but because of the other person's identity, he always had a feeling of embarrassment in his heart. But now they have been separated for eight years, and now it's really different when they see her again.
"Now I don't want to gamble anymore with this tone. No matter what the reason is, I don't want to be angry with His Majesty anymore."
Xie Ruling blinked her eyes, and a crystal tear flowed down her cheek.
These words are indeed true. There is really nothing to bet on with such anger.
Whether it is for herself, for Chu Xin, or for a better life in the future, it is necessary to regain His Majesty's love.
A lot of preparations have been made for today's moment. Fortunately, Xie Churou sent so many things, which can restore her complexion a lot. No matter what, a woman's appearance is always quite important.
"Have you finally figured it out?"
Chu Yu asked condescendingly, yes, he never felt that this was his fault. He still felt that all this was Xie Ruling's own outburst. As long as she had given in at the beginning, why did she have to go to such an extent?
But it's the same if you give in in front of him at this moment. You will still give a chance to forgive when you treat a woman you once liked so much.
"Yes," Xie Ruling nodded, "I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so angry and willful. I know His Majesty's heart will not be less sad than mine. I shouldn't make His Majesty sad, I shouldn't let I know I was wrong for being so willful."
Xie Ruling never thought that one day she would actually admit her mistake so humbly, but it doesn't matter, as long as everything is worth it.
Even though she gritted her teeth, she could not admit that she had done it. Even if she was willing to throw the imperial concubine's hair crown to the ground and go to the cold palace, she was not willing to admit that it was her fault.
But now she admits it calmly.
"It's not too late. If you can, you can still come back to me."
Chu Yu stretched out his hand to hold Xie Ruling's hand, only to realize that her hand was so slender, "Eight years in the cold palace have really taken a toll on you."
"The physical pain is nothing, the mental pain is really sad. As long as I can return to His Majesty, these eight years will be worth it."
Xie Ruling calmly said the words that she once found disgusting. She never thought that she would be in this moment now. She was obviously disgusted with the person in front of her, but she still had to pretend to be disconnected.
"Not long ago, my mother was still discussing with me what kind of status I would give you after you come out. At that time, all I could see in my mind was your back when you decided to leave. But now that I see you, I have changed again. idea."
Chu Yu held Xie Ruling's hand and squeezed it tighter and tighter. He really felt that the other person's hand had become so thin. He could pinch such obvious bones with just a pinch. He must have suffered a lot in the past eight years. sin?
Xie Ruling didn't say anything, she just looked at Chu Yu quietly. It was all in this sentence. Whether she would be treated well or not in the future was all in this sentence.
"Since you have suffered so much in the past eight years, you cannot suffer anymore when you come out. I used to think about giving you a concubine, but now I think it is better to give you a concubine. I must make it up to you."
Chu Yu liked Xie Ruling very much at this moment. The whole person looked as gentle as the moonlight. This was something he had never seen before. And when he saw the whole person looking at him with such a low eyebrow, he felt very happy. Used.
It seems that this trip to the cold palace is not in vain. People will eventually make some progress and know what they should become.
"Thank you for your majesty's love and affection for me. It turns out that there is still some place for me in your majesty's heart."
Xie Ruling said gratefully. This actually made her a little surprised. She didn't expect that she could be given the position of concubine. This position was quite high.
That's good, after going out, you won't be as wronged as the cold palace.
"If you hadn't been gambling for so long and bowed to me earlier, why would you have suffered for so many years?"
Although he said distressed words, there was still a bit of blame in his words. Chu Yu did enjoy the feeling of being needed, but he did blame Xie Ruling for bowing her head too late, otherwise why would she have suffered the pain? What about all these years of suffering?
"It was me who held this breath for too long, and it was my fault. But when I realized I was wrong, I had already spent so many years in the cold palace. It was really too late to regret it."
Xie Ruling allowed her hand to be held tightly by Chu Yu, suppressing the disgusting and fatal feeling in her heart. It was not like she didn't hear the slight blame in these words.
It's just that she bowed her head too late, and it's really disgusting. If you check carefully what happened back then, you will know that it was definitely not her fault. However, His Majesty didn't even check, and just concluded that it was her fault. She did.
He just wanted to teach her a lesson and let Zheng Yinghuan vent his anger, so where does this come from sincerity? It was just that he doted on whichever woman he liked in the first place.
"I remember that when you first entered the palace, you were also a concubine. I really loved you so much at that time, but I made you a concubine in March. At that time, they said you were arrogant and willful, but what I like most is your appearance. You look so willful, but I didn’t expect you to be so gentle and calm at this moment.”
Chu Yu was deeply attracted by this gentle Xie Ruling, because this was something he had never thought of.
He never thought that the woman who was so indulgent and willful in the past would become something else, which really gave him a sense of freshness.
If Xie Ruling was arrogant and willful at that time, so she had some fresh feelings towards the gentle and gentle Zheng Yinghuan, then after so many years, their temperaments have changed a bit.
He gave Zheng Yinghuan the right to control the harem, so Zheng Yinghuan's temperament inevitably became a bit tough, but he didn't expect that Xie Ruling, who used to be indulgent and willful, had become so gentle.
"At that time, I was ignorant and failed His Majesty's sincerity. If I could turn back time, I would never get angry over such a trivial matter. I was too willful at the time, and His Majesty said whatever he said. I should believe in His Majesty’s heart for me instead of such nonsense.”
Time can really change people. Things that once made people hate and gnash their teeth when they were mentioned can now be said so plainly, and people can admit their mistakes so plainly, even if it was not her fault at all. of.
It doesn't matter anymore, nothing matters anymore.
The most important thing for her now is to win Chu Yu's favor and seek more benefits for herself. As Xie Churou said, life after leaving the palace will never be that simple.
Zheng Yinghuan now has the highest position, and she has the confidence that they don't have, so she must be careful and slowly get back her old things.
She has not forgotten that she has been wronged more or less for so many years in the cold palace. She knows very well who the culprit is!
It seems that Zheng Yinghuan has only been beautiful on the outside these years. If she was really living a good life, how could she care about her? She is already in the cold palace, and she can still be remembered like this!
"It really makes me sad to see you being so sensible. If you had been like this from the beginning, things like that would never have happened, and there would have been no more missed eight years between me and you. !”
Chu Yu grabbed Xie Ruling's hand and walked among the red plum blossoms, wanting to get back the original feeling.
Xie Ruling looked up at the sky full of red plums, and her original joy was no longer in her heart.
This plum forest was a gift given to her by His Majesty. When she opened her eyes and saw the red plum trees in the sky, she was so excited. She loved red the most and often wore red dresses.
But now when I see red, I just feel like I don't match it. I no longer have that proud confidence.
"Do you still remember this plum forest? I know you love red plums, so I let people see this plum garden. After so many years, the red plums in the plum garden have grown so vigorously. I just saw it. You, but you have never worn a red dress."
Chu Yu missed and sighed, but there was a little more joy in his heart.
He quite likes such gentle Xie Ruling.
"I am no longer a young girl who just entered the palace. This red dress is too eye-catching. Now I like such a simple white dress."
Xie Ruling stared at the bunch of red plums for a long time, without any fluctuation in her heart. It turned out that she really didn't like red plums anymore. Even though she was so close at this moment, she no longer liked them no matter how she looked at them. .
Yes, she doesn't like red anymore.
Many things don't want to be the same as before. In fact, she can also see that when she went to the Cold Palace, His Majesty didn't say a word and just agreed to let her go to the Cold Palace.
There has been no intention to let her come out for so many years, and this time she was only let out because of the Queen Mother's wishes, which is enough to show how ruthless this man is!
But when she bowed her head in front of His Majesty, His Majesty accepted it so readily, which shows that His Majesty has always liked the feeling of others bowing their heads and surrendering in front of him. It has nothing to do with feelings or emotions.
When she first entered the palace, she was ignorant, so it was okay to indulge in it, but if she indulges in it again this time, then she would really be a complete fool.
I will never be deceived by these words again, and I will never give my heart to you again. If you have suffered once, you should avoid suffering it a second time!
