"I can assure you that everything is true now. It is true that I want to give you a name. It is true that I want you to be by my side. All of these are true. You don't have to always doubt, Just stay with me safely!"
This was what he had always wanted to say before, but now that he said it he didn't have the same intention as before. He just felt a little casual, as if he said it casually.
Xiao Zhi gently held Chu Xin's hand, which was still cold just now, and gently stroked it with the warmth of his palm.
"Why on earth is His Highness so kind to me? The reason why I think all this is unreal is because I never thought that I would receive such love from His Highness. I am so lucky!"
My original intention was already moved to tears. Her eyes, which looked very much like Chu Xin's, were filled with tears. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Zhi affectionately. Let yourself enjoy this luck!
"Don't ask these questions, don't doubt yourself, I just like you and won't change."
Xiao Zhi comforted her gently, reaching out to gently wipe away the tears on Chu Xin's face.
In the past, he wanted to wipe away the tears on Chu Xin's face, but at that time, he was concerned about Xiao Yi and always thought that when he had the opportunity in the future, he would make up for it all.
"I will bring you to the princess tomorrow. Don't be afraid. I will protect you and I won't do anything to you, and I won't do anything to you in the future."
Xiao Zhi hugged the person into his arms as he spoke. He said this with great confidence.
It has been clearly felt that Xiao Yi no longer dares to be as arrogant and willful in front of her as before, and has to control his temper many times.
This is right, this is what a princess should do. How can she always be as arrogant as when she was a princess?
What's more, his status is gradually changing now, and most of the affairs in the palace are in his own hands. It's just a matter of time until the emperor's brother dies.
He and Xiao Yi have been husband and wife together for several years. I believe that the other party should be deeply aware of the obligations and duties that a wife should perform. Being pampered and jealous is not a qualified princess.
I finally feel at ease in my heart. If I can get this assurance, I am really not afraid at all. On the contrary, I am vaguely looking forward to tomorrow.
If I had met the princess earlier, I would have been able to get her status earlier. By then, she would be considered a serious concubine, not just a slave that anyone could call around!
late at night.
Having already arrived in Northern Qi, Xiao Yi didn't want to delay any more and asked Tao Yong to take him back to the palace.
"It took several months to go back and forth. When I came back, it was snowing lightly. It was really cold!"
In front of the palace gate, Xiao Yi was wrapped in a thick cloak and reached out to hold the falling snowflakes. It was already snowing lightly, and the hand he stretched out turned red from the cold in an instant.
"If the princess has anything to say, please go in first. I am a man and I am not afraid of the cold. What if the princess is weak and gets cold after standing outside for a long time? She won't be able to get up and go to the palace to see His Highness tomorrow!"
Tao Yong rubbed his hands vigorously. Most of the troops were still resting at the inn, but the princess wanted to go back to the palace first, so he drove her back in a carriage.
It was already late at night, and most people in the mansion were resting. No one knew she was back except the person who opened the door.
"I don't even know why I want to come back. It seems like no one is waiting for me here, and no one wants me to come back."
Walking into the familiar courtyard, Xiao Yi suddenly stopped, thinking that maybe it would be good to stand here and blow the cold wind, which could make his mind clearer.
"Why did the princess say that? If Your Highness didn't care about you, why would you have told me to protect you?"
Tao Yong stood behind Xiao Yi and looked up at the sky. Snowflakes were already falling.
"Yeah?"
Xiao Yi suddenly sighed solemnly, feeling really tired.
He can imagine what he will experience tomorrow. That woman should be brought to him. Is this day finally coming? He is finally going to experience this!
Original intention?
When Xiao Zhi mentioned this name, did he know who he was thinking of?
After a few casual words, Tao Yong was taken to the guest room to rest, waiting to enter the palace together tomorrow.
"Yuexiang, what do you think he will say to me?"
After washing up, Xiao Yi lay on the warm bed. The charcoal fire had been lit in the room. Yuexiang sat by the bed and covered her with a quilt. When she heard this sentence, she paused.
"Princess, just treat that woman as just one of the many concubines in the backyard. There is nothing special or a big deal. Don't be angry or lose your temper in front of His Highness. You haven't seen each other for a long time, but you must cherish the meeting tomorrow. Don’t waste your time in quarrels!”
The meaning of these words was to make Xiao Yi unable to bear the attack.
Even in ordinary people's homes, if the husband wants to take a concubine, it is difficult for the wife to lose her temper, not to mention her status as a princess.
"I really feel so tired. What my mother said is still vivid in my mind, but I always feel that she has been very tired all her life. When I was young, I saw her gnashing her teeth in anger, and I also saw her sad and desperate. appearance.
At that time, I thought that I would never live like this. I would definitely make myself happy. I am a noble princess, how could I be wronged! "
Tears were already falling from the corners of her eyes as she spoke. After all, Xiao Yi was no longer the proud princess. The grievances she should have suffered after becoming a princess were really the same.
"Chu Xin, this name is really a coincidence, and the appearance is really similar. Whenever she is in front of me in the future, I will always be able to recall those things from the past, and I will always feel that it is all so boring."
Xiao Yi closed her eyes. In fact, she should have fallen asleep immediately after lying on the bed after a long journey, but now that she was really lying on the warm bed, she still didn't feel anything because there were still many things piled up in her heart.
The only thing that made her happy was that Chu Xin was not dead at all. When he saw her standing in front of him alive that day, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
No matter what, I never thought about killing my own sister, but after I breathed a sigh of relief, I felt a very subtle feeling.
What she couldn't get, her sister could get so easily. She even found a substitute who looked so similar to her. This substitute might become another shadow of herself in the future.
I really don’t know what God means by doing this. Is it revenge for being so bad to Chu Xin?
"If the princess still cares about her, then she will kill him quietly from now on, just to make sure that she can never appear in front of the princess again!"
Yuexiang's face turned extremely cold in an instant. It was not like she had never done such calculations in the past when she was in Chu State. What big deal would it be if one person died?
What's more, the original intention was just a slave with no family background, so it was very easy to deal with her.
"Killing one original intention, what if it is the second one in the future? Do you know how many nights I had nightmares and how many times I woke up from nightmares?"
It was a time that she didn't want to recall anymore. Although killing someone was easy, she would have nightmares, be scared and regret it.
This feeling can be really tiring.
Xiao Yi turned around and stopped talking. It would be dawn in a few hours before entering the palace. Everything that should be faced at that time would eventually have to be faced.
Xiao Yi didn't know how she fell asleep that night. When she opened her eyes, it was already dark. After washing herself, she opened the door and saw Tao Yong standing outside.
"Why does the princess look unhappy? If His Highness sees the princess's sad face, he will definitely blame me for not protecting you along the way!"
Tao Yong still had the same playful smile, but his eyes were a little green, obviously he hadn't slept all night.
"Okay, I'm in a bad mood and don't want to talk any more. The carriage is ready outside. Let's go."
Xiao Yi obviously didn't want to say anything more to Tao Yongduo, not to mention that he didn't like him in the first place. Sitting in the carriage, his heart gradually sank deeper.
This feeling is really unbearable. When I was a princess in the Chu Kingdom, did I ever think that this day would happen?
Although he already knew about the existence of that woman, he still could only hold back and pretend that he didn't know.
What was she going to do later? Was she to lose her temper without any scruple as before, or was she to swallow her anger and accept that woman?
When I knew that Chu Xin was still alive, I did feel a little happy. I felt that I was not the real murderer after all, and that I did not kill my own sister.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhi couldn't wait to find a substitute who was very similar to Chu Xin. Even the names were so similar. It was really God's will.
Xiao Yi suddenly thought of something and smiled.
Since she is looking for a substitute, let's find one. She wants to know how Xiao Zhi will face this substitute and his hypocrisy when he knows that Chu Xin is not dead!
"princess?"
Yuexiang didn't understand why Xiao Yi suddenly smiled. The closer he got to the palace, the greater the pressure in his heart.
But I never thought why Xiao Yi smiled inexplicably. He was obviously so stressed last night. Did he figure it out so quickly?
"It's nothing. Just stay outside when the time comes and I'll go in personally. I want to see what kind of excuses he will come up with and how he will convince me to accept her existence!"
Xiao Yi leaned on the carriage and closed his eyes to rest. In fact, he didn't sleep well last night, but he had too many worries and couldn't sleep.
Tao Yong, who was sitting in another carriage, no longer had that playful smile, but instead had a solemn look on his face. He also stayed up all night last night.
Because I always felt that Xiao Yi was very unhappy. Seeing her frown, Lian Dai couldn't be happy anymore and was always worried for no reason.
"Your Highness."
In the study, Chu Xin stood beside Chu Xin worriedly, holding his arm, trembling with nervousness. The princess was coming to greet her soon, and she didn't know if she would accept her.
"Don't worry, don't be afraid, I will accept your existence."
Xiao Zhi said lightly, in fact, Xiao Yi would accept any woman, but her original intention was indeed different. I believe she would not have a big reaction when she saw the appearance of her original intention.
"Yuexiang, you can stay outside like this, I'll go in alone."
When he got outside the door, Xiao Yi took a deep breath. What should be faced must always be faced. Maybe if he faced it earlier, the pressure in his heart would be gone?
"yes."
Yuexiang said distressedly, the princess has really grown up and become a lot calmer. People have to go through all this and cannot be carefree forever.
She has already passed her own test, but she is just a woman who looks similar to Chu Xin. Even if it sounds ugly, she is just a stand-in, and she should not be able to make any waves.
