Chapter 283 Want to cry without tears
The night is so quiet, and the night is as gentle as water. In late autumn, the warmth in the quilt contrasts the cold air outside, making people more and more greedy and don’t want to come out.
Zhou Xian lay motionless, but could not fall asleep for a long time. His husband Li Yu was lying beside him. Li Yu was obviously awake because he tossed and turned, tossed and turned countless times, and kept tossing and sighing from time to time.
Zhou Xian empathized with Li Yu's inner panic... but she was not that panic because she knew she was talking about liing him.
Zhou Xian was full of sympathy and wanted to tell him the truth. However, if he told him that the deportation to the palace was a lie to him, he would investigate why he lied to him... Everything would be over! Only in this way, he looked at him helplessly and frightened.
The warmth in the quilt made Zhou Xian feel as if someone was holding her, but the quilt was too light and the feeling was not enough. It was like a goose feather sweeping on her body, but she was not happy and wanted to be hugged enthusiastically and indulgently.
Various scenes and feelings appeared in his mind again. Zhou Xian pursed his red lips and his eyelashes trembled slightly in the night.
With a "ga" sound, Li Yu turned over again and immediately interrupted Zhou Xian's reverie. She immediately blamed herself: her husband was scared to death, thinking about completely different things; but she was thinking about anything else, and she didn't share the burden with him at all...
But she couldn't help but think that she had just come into contact with a completely different world, and had completely different experiences from what everyone told her before. By chance, she even began to question who is better than Li Yu or Guo Shao?
Maybe there is nothing like who is good or bad... Zhou Xian remembers that Guo Shaoxin belongs to him and is just pity for himself. Zhou Xian has always thought that he is a beautiful woman in the world, and she is noble and arrogant. She said to herself: Do you still want me to put down my figure and compete for favor? No, you can never do it. Men should fall in love with me, not me.
No matter how talented Li Yu is, he is a nobleman, and all of his belongs to Zhou Xian. Zhou Xian is never willing to lose him... Besides, how can he be worthy of him, and the oath that he had made forever with the curse between them at the time?
Zhou Xian could no longer find himself in his heart, and he could not resolve it even if he could resolve it. Right and wrong, right and wrong seemed to be mixed together. It was so uncomfortable. It would be great if there were only two people in the world and there was no other interference. It would be simple and pure!
The only way is to forget him! Just pretend that Guo Shao has never left him far away, let him gradually disappear through the passage of time... Zhou Xian felt melancholy in his heart. The only way to force himself was to eliminate his worries. Then what happened this afternoon was indeed a mistake! If Zhou Xian had persisted and endured it, he would not have added a deeper impression.
...At this moment, Li Yu turned over and called out softly: "Ehuang."
Zhou Xian hesitated for a moment, then said "um" softly, and said one word in two tones.
Li Yu wanted to speak but stopped. After hesitating for a long time, he said with difficulty: "I have been thinking back and forth for a long time. There is no problem with the words of the Empress Dowager of Zhou Dynasty. They are neither close nor bad at us, and they are insatiable. Of course, they will be greedy for Li Hongji's conditions... No matter how generous the reward we promise, it is indeed a cake."
Zhou Xian remembered the night she was at Chen Jiali's house. How could he take the initiative to propose a deal if he had not had to be absolutely necessary? She had thought about it long ago and said, "What my husband said is very true."
Li Yu said: "Or...or...or ask Chen Jiali to invite Guo Shao to the mansion, you..."
"What!" Zhou Xian was so shocked that he almost sat up, "What do you mean by your husband? You can't do this!"
Li Yu hurriedly said, "Don't be impatient, Ehuang, listen to me. You just dance a dance..."
"Husband, are you coaxing me like a three-year-old child? Who is Guo Shao? I took the initiative to perform a dance and even moved him. Do you think he will let me go?" Zhou Xian said annoyed, "You all forced me... so is Li Hongji. I shouldn't have been like this when I was born. What have I become now? Is it a golden and jade toy that was sent to play with?"
Li Yu said: "In a chaotic world, there are indeed many helplessness. We have to weigh the pros and cons. Maybe we can't bear to give up ourselves, and the ending will be even worse..."
"Husband, have you changed your mind?" Zhou Xian turned around and asked in a trembling voice.
Li Yu immediately said seriously: "How could I change my mind! I just discuss with you, if you don't agree."
"I don't agree!" Zhou Xian said angrily, and felt that he seemed to "the evil man complained first". He was already sorry for his husband, but he still wanted to put the blame on him. He couldn't help but sigh, "Husband, don't think too much. Even if I ask me to betray myself, it's useless now. Wait for now."
Zhou Xian's tone softened, and Li Yu was a little angry: "I'm desperate. If Ehuang is wronged for one night, it may be exchanged for our lives... Otherwise, we may have to bear the grievance in the end and we will not be able to save the big things..."
"But if Guo Shao falls in love with me, aren't you afraid that he will force me to take over?" Zhou Xian almost cried.
Li Yu said: "This is a problem... I can still grit my teeth and hold on if I lose you; if I lose you, it will be more than worth the loss, and I can't bear it."
Zhou Xian hugged his arm sideways and said, "Husband, I...ah!"
Li Yu said sadly: "I have always been uneasy and always feel that you will leave me. Because I can't even give it to you..."
Zhou Xian suddenly felt his concern and couldn't help but say, "Husband, there can be other ways..." Li Yu hurriedly asked, "What's the way?"
Zhou Xian gently placed his fingers like peeling onions on his face, and his thumb accidentally touched his lips, and his face suddenly became hot. But she didn't dare to say that she knew Li Yu well for two years... Although he was a literati, he was quite angry and could not do such a shameful thing. Zhou Xian's ears seemed to have heard his shameful and angry curse: lewd woman! I didn't expect you to be such a person, I was really blind!
"It's just another way, more than one." Zhou Xian's voice trembled, evasive, and flushed. He blushed and exhaled like orchids. Fortunately, the light was very dark. In the darkness, he seemed to see the bronze face, his straight nose bridge, and felt the rough beard of his stinging hands.
Fortunately, Li Yu did not get angry and pondered: "There are indeed many lustful things in the world, and there are also in the palace. Some are carefully carved with jewelry and jade, which is indeed very rare... But doesn't Ehuang hate such despicable things?"
"Of course I hate it and feel like vomiting!" Zhou Xian said panickedly, "I... I just listened to my husband's concerns about gains and losses. I remind you that women don't need to worry about that dirty thing. The husband doesn't have to worry about it at all. The offspring can also be maintained from my brother's house, and I will treat it like my biological child... The Zhou Dynasty Taizu had no son to survive, and his adopted son had no blood relationship with him, so he didn't care about it. Your brother's son, who was adopted as an adopted son, was still from the Li family."
After hearing this, Li Yu felt relieved and suddenly asked again: "You entered the palace today, have you already committed to Guo Shao on my back??"
"Husband..." Zhou Xian was so shocked by the sudden questioning that he was completely sleepy.
Li Yu said: "I looked at you before, why is your face tired, but it is smoother and smoother? The smell is also a bit strange. But because I didn't find any real evidence, I dare not make up for it. After a test just now, I made this speculation. You have lost your virginity, so I feel that there is no need to meet Guo Shao again..."
Zhou Xian was frightened and shook his head quickly and said, "I didn't hide it from my husband. It's all your random thoughts! Really, no."
Li Yu remained silent.
Zhou Xian said tremblingly again: "Why do I listen to my husband..." Li Yu said coldly: "What if Guo Shao wants to force you to stay?" Zhou Xian said helplessly: "I will force you to die, and I will also persuade you by making good friends with the two countries."
Li Yu sighed immediately and said in a slow tone: "Ehuang, I was wrong just now... I just said nonsense without thinking about a way out, and I was really worried and frightened. I actually... I care very much about you, you are more important than everyone."
"Husband, I believe in you." Zhou Xian choked up, "You and my husband are not there for a day or two. Why do you treat me and what you think, do I still don't know?"
...
The next day was a clear and refreshing day in autumn.
Guo Shao went to each of the two battalions of the left flank of the Hujie Army. He did not go to the Office of the Guards, but went to the Privy Council to ask Wei Renpu for help and asked some imperial guards to read the list of documents. Generally, military generals do not have such authority, but Guo Shao did not abide by the rules. He not only read the documents, but also took notes with a notebook. Wang Pu came over from time to time to time to see what he was writing, but did not stop him.
It was the hour of You that Guo Shao quietly left the Privy Council, walked around Donghua Gate, and left the imperial city with his entourage.
As soon as he returned home, Lu Chengyong told him: "Aunt Sun from Mrs. Chen's mansion came in the afternoon and left a letter asking me to hand it over to my lord. Aunt Sun recognized me. Last time we went to Mrs. Chen with her lord to change clothes and visited General Li Chuyun's house at night, and was remembered by Aunt Sun."
Guo Shao opened the letter and saw that Chen Jiali specially set up a dinner party and crafted a new dance, and asked Guo Shao to watch it.
Guo Shao thought for a while and thought of Chen Jiali's wonderful dance, and immediately became excited. He left a note for Yulian and ordered to prepare a carriage and horse to go to Chen Jiali's house. He did not raise singing and dancing geniuses at home, but could see the wonderful songs and dances. In this era of lack of entertainment activities, it was really a rare pleasure.
This time he didn't call him Jing Niang, but Jing Niang didn't agree with him and followed him onto the carriage. Guo Shao had no choice but to let him go.
"Chen Jiali's family is just a lewd nest!" Jing Niang looked unhappy, "She pretended to be clean and honest, and she was so noble. There are really everyone in the world."
Guo Shao whispered: "Just watch the dance, why don't you serve the bed tonight?"
"I'm not that boring. Who do you want to find?" Jing Niang said with a blushing face.
