Chapter 50: Chapter Forty-Nine(1/2)
Chapter 50 Chapter 49 The theory of cause and effect is still chaotic
Her heart skipped a beat, and her sensitivity to danger made her quickly get up. Before she could reach the door, Pinyan opened the door and rushed in in a panic.
"My boss, my boss, a lot of strong men in black clothes came downstairs. They blocked everyone in the lobby and stopped them from leaving. They were questioning each other. They seemed to be from the imperial court. What's going on?"
Pinyan didn't know Li Kong's true identity. The years of wandering on the street had engraved her fear of officialdom in her bones. Before Meng Keshu could say anything, she hugged her arm in panic.
"Is it, is it because we ran away from Mingzhou Mansion that the master reported to the police to take us back?"
"Why bother reporting to the official?"
The fragile door latch broke when someone hit it hard from the outside. Li Kong, dressed in a arrogant Xuanyu uniform, appeared with a sullen face from behind several Xuanyu guards.
"Do you think you can escape from my grasp?"
Meng Keshu protected Pin Yan behind him and stared warily at Li Kong, who was approaching step by step.
"Don't hurt her, I'll go with you."
"My boss..."
Pinyan clenched her sleeves tightly, but he didn't know that the movement of them relying on each other made Li Kong find it very annoying.
He raised his hand and waved, and the two Xuanyu guards easily pulled Pinyan away from Meng Keshu, covered her mouth and retreated.
Meng Keshu gritted his teeth and gave Pin Yan a final "reassuring" look over Li Kong's shoulder.
Then her eyes flashed, and Li Kong grabbed her chin and forced her to raise her head to look at him, gritting his teeth and saying:
"Don't you even want to look at me?"
Without Pinyan to worry about, Meng Keshu was not afraid of Li Kong's madness. She scoffed and tried her best to pull away his hand, even digging her nails into Li Kong's flesh.
But Li Kong seemed to feel no pain. Not only did he not let go of his iron-like right hand, he also grabbed her waist and held her firmly in his arms.
"Ha, Meng Keshu, you are much tougher now and can scratch people. But don't even think about escaping from me again. Unless you pull out my dagger from my lower back and kill me, otherwise you will
Come back with me obediently!"
"Why don't you let me go! Aren't we already settled!"
What Meng Keshu can't bear the most is his insistence on life and death once he goes crazy. Life is so important, why is it so contemptible when it comes to his mouth?
"Can't you really live without me? I beg you, please stop torturing me!"
"Where have we cleared up our differences? Where have we cleared up our differences!"
Li Kong released her chin and took out the letter she left for him from his front pocket, his hands trembling uncontrollably.
"Why did you leave me this letter and just leave? Who am I? I thought you were willing to see me one day because you had forgiven me and were willing to start over with me!
But you just want to calm your conscience, you just want to get the answer to why I am pestering you!
Are you satisfied, you already know what a terrible person I am, so you are leaving and don’t want to have anything to do with me anymore?”
He is truly the stupidest and stupidest person in the world. Every time he completely trusts others, he is rewarded with the most complete deception and abandonment.
His anger and questioning made Meng Keshu panic. She never thought that what she considered the most peaceful farewell would lead to his misunderstanding.
But his words made it impossible for her to refute, because he had no respect for decency or dignity at all. He broke the so-called one-off-two-off approach to pieces, and only grabbed the softest part of her heart and asked:
There are no regrets in your life, but what about me? Who am I? I have always only wanted you, but you clearly know that I love you, but you never respond to me, and you trample my expectations and longings under your feet?
"What do you think of me... Meng Keshu, what do you think of me?"
He no longer had any pride that could support him in maintaining his grace in front of her. He didn't want to be decent, he just followed his inner thoughts.
So one moment the beast was baring its teeth with hatred and resentment, and the next moment it was hugging her and pressing its face against her neck, as if it had found the only tree to hug in the wind and rain.
"Why don't you want me? Why do you all lie to me?"
He can call the woman who abandoned him his mother, or he can call the man who forced him his lover. But who is Meng Keshu?
After he hated all the soft names, how would he define this little moon who, even if she abandoned him and lied to him, could not be discouraged or turn around and let go?
"Li Kong... Li Kong, you misunderstood. I just think that we can live our own lives separately. Haven't we already cleared all the knots in our hearts?
You can forget about the past, including me, and it’s time for you to have a new life of your own. You can hang out with people in Mingzhou who don’t know your past at all. What’s wrong with cutting off the past?
I can also live a life where no one knows me, we are not suitable..."
Feeling that Li Kong's mood had calmed down a lot, Meng Keshu patted his back tentatively, trying to persuade him, but he interrupted him before he finished speaking.
"But have you asked me? Have you asked me if I am willing?"
Li Kong stared straight into her eyes, with persistence and unwillingness like a trapped animal.
"Stop trying to persuade me with your big theories. You can tell me directly."
He came close to her face, held the back of her head just close enough to be intertwined with her breath, and whispered:
"Meng Keshu, you don't want me, right?"
Meng Keshu blinked and for some reason did not answer immediately, but wanted to push him away. The distance was too dangerous, and she refused this position that reminded her of unpleasant experiences.
Surprisingly, Li Kong was pushed away several steps by her without any difficulty this time. His breathing became smoother, she calmed down, and said uncomfortably under his gaze:
"Don't always ask me questions like this that I can't answer. I said it before, Li Kong, things are clear between us. You have your own way, and I have my life. That letter made it clear enough.
That’s it, don’t pester me anymore, okay?”
Li Kong's expression changed again and again, and veins even appeared on his forehead. He took deep breaths to suppress this uneasy state that made Meng Keshu feel uneasy.
In the end, he calmed down and actually showed a peaceful smile. Meng Keshu thought that he finally understood what was crazy and what was reality, and thought that he was finally willing to nod and let her go.
But he said: "No. I can't possibly let you go."
He took off something from his lower back, and it was so bright in the sun that Meng Keshu couldn't see it clearly for a while.
When she saw clearly, goosebumps all over her body were exploding, urging her to run away immediately, but Li Kong directly carried her on his shoulders and locked the anklet on her ankle.
"You madman! Madman! Let me go..."
Li Kong turned a deaf ear to her curses and screams. The Xuanyu guards in the corridor and lobby stood silently, and the boss and guests who were so frightened by their coercion that they did not dare to raise their heads even dared to speak out.
"Aren't you afraid of breaking your throat if you shout so loudly?"
Meng Keshu was thrown into the carriage by him and held tightly in his arms. Li Kong's mood finally became calm, as if as long as he could be sure that Meng Keshu was by his side, even if she hated him again, he would
I will only worry about her hurting herself.
Life is a journey of constantly seeking answers. If you don't understand, you will be unwilling, and if you are unwilling, you will pursue it.
But how many people can really understand it?
Meng Keshu thought that all the twists and turns in this life had been answered. From then on, he saw that the world was a shackles and only wanted to pursue true freedom.
But she forgot that one thought can lead to becoming a Buddha and the other can lead to a devil. There is only a thin line between having no desires and pursuits and being obsessed with obsession.
Li Kong did indeed make peace with his absurd life as she wished. But he wanted to ask for Meng Keshu from the world that owed him so much.
This is another kind of openness and honesty.
He just wanted to keep her by his side.
Princess Jiarou Mansion.
Xiao Qi had been alienated from Wei Huaien for several days. If it had been before, he would have found a chance to be alone with her to relieve his knot.
But this time it was because he had a guilty conscience and he felt that he deserved to be punished. So although he was angry and couldn't bear the indifference that she had to ask other people to serve him even if he was right in front of her, he still maintained a submissive attitude.
Accepted it all.
Of course Wei Huai'en was even more angry.
The two of them were so cold, like a rubber band that was too tight, and even showed signs of breaking.
On the twenty-fifth day of the first lunar month, Wei Huai'en recovered and went to the court to see him.
I didn’t bring Xiao Qi with me.
Naturally, the palace servants in the princess's palace did not dare to comment on the master's likes and dislikes. The other servants also knew that Xiao Qi and the master had an extraordinary relationship, not to mention that the official position of deputy commander was not an adult they could offend.
.
But the guards led by Shifang would not care about this, and Xiao Qi would always have to deal with them.
So when Wei Huai'en entered the palace today, he was only accompanied by a few guards led by Shifang, and Xiao Qi was allowed to hear the discussions of those people when he passed by the school grounds.
"When will it be my turn to follow His Highness into the palace? The five sons who live with me have been there several times. I don't even know what the palace walls look like."
"Just you? Do you have a handsome fifth son? My brother advises you to also pay attention to your image. Isn't the most important thing in our princess's house just face?"
"That's not the case."
They suddenly lowered their voices and mentioned Xiao Qi's name with a wink.
Xiao Qi, who came to the school grounds because he couldn't vent his depression, walked around to the side of the weapons room and listened to the sound from the corner.
"What our Highness likes is good-looking ones. Did you know that soon after seeing Xiao Qi? As long as he is handsome, even if he is a eunuch, our Highness will not dislike it. Hahahaha..."
"Hahaha, that's right. Xiao Qi usually looks at the yin and yang and is more ruthless than Master Shifang, but I heard that when he is in front of His Highness, he even does a woman's work himself."
"Really? Hey, hey, let's just talk about it in private. I've seen Xiao Qi's methods before when I was on guard in the private prison. Do you still remember the traitor you caught at the beginning of the month?
To be continued...
