Wang Su was getting busier and busier, and he didn't even have time to see Zhuang Li. Even though Zhuang Li kept on telling him not to disturb him, he still felt unwell in his heart.
Even she didn't know what she was thinking. Didn't she feel that as long as she could stay by that person's side, it would be enough? Was it enough to know that he had his own heart?
Then what was he feeling depressed about?
Since Qing You had nothing better to do, she went out with the young eunuch s of the Imperial Study to join in the fun.
She didn't have the mood to go out, so she just sat on the stairs of the Opposite Moon House, and just sat there in a daze. Before Wang Su walked to her face and held it in his hands, she did not realize that he was already shedding tears.
"Why are you crying?" Wang Su also never thought that the woman he longed for would actually sit here and cry by herself. He was especially upset, but he did not know the reason.
"Maybe, maybe because I'm tired." She found it funny even when she said it. There were so many maids and eunuchs serving in the palace, so she almost didn't have to do anything. Why was she so tired? You don't know how to make it sound good even when you're lying …
"Tell me if you have anything to feel bad about." He spoke with incomparable piety, placing both hands on her shoulders. He wanted to be sure that this woman took in every word he said.
"I've been too busy recently and I can't take care of you, so that's why you're sad?" Seeing that Zhuang Li was silent, he started to make her own guesses. Even though he didn't understand women, he really wanted to read the woman in front of him.
"Your Majesty …"
"You have to call me by my name. You used to call me by my name. Although he was still scared, he wasn't like this. I don't want to see you like this. "
The Manor did not expect Wang Su to say that, and was stunned in place for a moment. Biting his lip.
"Wang Su?"
It was as if a knot in her heart was being untied bit by bit. She was continuously confirming that the man in front of her always had her in his heart.
"Right." He spoke very softly as he slowly squatted down in front of Zhuang Li.
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I know I'm fine."
"I know."
Zhuang Li looked at the man squatting in front of him, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
"I know, because my mother was the same back then."
"Imperial Consort Mei?"
Wang Su looked at Zhuang Li with her gentle phoenix eyes, as though she had a lot of things she wanted to say.
"I have never treated her as my royal father's woman, and no one in the palace has ever considered her as the Empress of the Imperial Consort Mei either …
She was originally just a maid to be married off to, but her young mistress was the concubine of the real royal father. Within two years of coming to this palace, he had died of an illness.
Mother didn't want to stay, but she had always felt sorry for her young lady. I want to accompany her for two more years and leave when she reaches her age. "
"And then? And then she met the late emperor? " Zhuang Li was completely captivated by Wang Su's story and was about to learn about what was going to happen next.
"Just like you said, and then you had me. She had never thought that her son would become the Emperor, nor had she ever wished for such a thing.
She is a very ordinary woman... She just treated me as her son and had never realized that I was a prince. "
Zhuang Li listened particularly earnestly. She knew that the Emperor's birth mother, Imperial Consort Mei, was a woman who especially liked peace and quiet. Otherwise, how would she have been living in such a remote Plum Court all this time?
But she never thought that the Imperial Consort Mei would actually think like this …
"I am aware of the power in my hands. I am aware that there are some things I can fight for."
Wang Su paused for a moment, as though it was difficult to find words to say.
"I realize that I am also a prince like them, but they live in a large and luxurious palace, and I have always lived in a small Plum Court …
My mother didn't want me to call her mother, so I called her mother. It was just like how she called her mother when she was a daughter. I am his very ordinary son...
We live within the Plum Court, and before we went to school, I had almost never seen my royal father. My name was also given by my mother, who wanted me to stay with her forever in the Plum Court, and forget that I was the Emperor's son …
But in the end, I am still unwilling … Compared to my mother, I inherited my father's intelligence. The Imperial Tutor especially likes me, even more than he likes the crown prince …
I knew for the first time that I was liked by people other than my mother, and that I could use my cleverness to get more things...
At that time, I would be too eager to learn … It was as if a brand-new world had been opened in front of me. I could have my own revenge, and I could use my own hard work to fight for more things, including the throne …
"I lost my mother the moment I realized I could fight for it.
Because someone realized that this woman's son might become a threat to her son... She wanted to kill me, but she accidentally killed my mother.
For many years, I have been thinking about this problem. It was my greed that led to my mother's death. It's because this spot that I covet... Because of my desire and my consciousness. That's what happened next...
I think it was because of the throne that I lost my mother. "
Zhuang Li looked at Wang Su with such warmth in his eyes. It was a bit uncomfortable, though, separated by a layer of mist.
"No, not because of you."
"It's because of me. Although I hate others, I swear that I will definitely obtain the throne and eliminate all those I hate … I let them taste that taste and experience that pain, but I knew that the reason was because of me. It was because of my unwillingness to give up on myself … "Therefore, if I really want to hate someone, I must be hating the wrong person!"
"…"
"All of my reasons include myself …"
"That's why I'm extremely afraid right now. If I lose you again …" "Because the throne …" He frowned, gradually squatting to the lowest point. That man who wielded all the power in the world was incomparably weak at this moment.
There was nothing he could do.
"You won't …"
"I know you like it outside the palace."
"…"
"I know that you might prefer to live in a palace, but because of my desire to keep you by my side, I have confined your life. and even allowed you to live within the Opposite Moon House because this place is too close to me compared to the harem here. "
"But I know how much you don't want...
If you want to go, I'll take a walk with you, okay? If I am too busy, I will ask Yun Duan to accompany you … "
"..." I don't know if I want to... "Your Majesty …" She suddenly felt how stupid she was. Why did she have to suspect whether she was staying in this palace? Was she really that lucky? She was already very happy … Why did she suspect this man? She knew how much she wanted to be with him.
"Sometimes, I know that it's because I'm too greedy and that I want too much. I want the world, and I want you as well. However, I'm not used to getting someone and being nice to someone. You have to give me time."
"…"
"I know you're different, ever since the first time I met you …" "But I don't want to have any more secrets with you …"
"…"
"I want you to be fine... I'll tell you what I thought... "If you're unhappy, tell me too …"
"Your Majesty …" Zhuang Li was no longer able to control the tears that were streaming down her face. From the young man to the Wang Su now, she already knew how much she might want to accompany him alone in her heart.
"I do like being outside the palace. Perhaps it's because I'm used to living in the West Cold for so many years, but what I want more is to stay by your side …"
"You have to give me time... Get used to this palace … "
I also like this Opposite Moon House because the light of the Imperial Study can be seen from the Opposite Moon House and I like to stay in the Imperial Study because I know that you are inside. I do like to go out of the palace with you, but maybe I'll feel better as long as you're by my side...
There were many things that Zhuang Li could not say, but she was choked with sobs in her heart. She really wanted to tell Wang Su everything, but she could not. But she really wanted to say, "It's okay, we still have a long way to go, we still have a long way to go, and we still have a long way to go …"
Before she fell in love with Wang Su, she had always wanted to go back to modern times and felt that that was her home.
including the time when she was the happiest in West Cold.
But now, she really wanted to stay …
It's because I love someone that I can be considered to be worried about him in my heart. Even though we are separated by thousands of miles, I still clearly realize that my feelings are the best and the best that I want to give you …
She kept on crying, but her two hands were firmly holding onto Wang Su's hand. She was unwilling to let go, as if she was afraid that if she let go of that man, she would really disappear …
"Don't cry …" He moved closer to Zhuang Li's face with extreme gentleness, and kissed her face.
This was the first time Zhuang Li felt warmth in her heart. That man would probably be her little sun from now on …
He kissed her eyes, kissed her lips, kissed her chin, kissed her neck …
Zhuang Li was startled, and blood almost flowed down her face. An especially strange feeling made her body feel strange yet afraid …
His hands reflexively pushed, pushing Wang Su away. Then, she was also stunned …
Why did she have to push Wang Su away …
It was impossible to describe the collapse of his heart with words …
"Huang …" Your Majesty … That... "Then …" For a moment, he didn't know what to say … It was truly a collapse …
Am I f * cking looking to die …
He shook his head dejectedly. If no one really wanted to kill him, then so be it …
"Hahahaha …" However, Wang Su started to laugh...
"Are you very afraid of me?" He whispered in a very low voice in the manor, a whisper that made people blush even more. Instantly, Zhuang Li's ears turned red all the way down to his face. And he couldn't say a single word …
"It doesn't matter. I'll wait for you to think it through …"
Think well... What should I call thinking … Although Zhuang Li had not recovered from the fear just now, she had indeed thought about it … She had lived for so many years, so what else could she think about if she met a man she liked …
I've really lived for a long time...
It was a pity that she could only shout out these words from the bottom of her heart … He bit his lips as he regretted not having enough strength …
Wang Su couldn't help but want to laugh. Seeing Zhuang Li like this, he sized him up like a frightened rabbit, and felt that it was especially fun for a moment. In the end, he couldn't help but come forward and kiss Zhuang Li's forehead.
That kiss was especially loud … Instantly, Zhuang Li's forehead also turned red.
Then, he appreciated his masterpiece with satisfaction …
Clear throat
"Alright, I still have a lot of things to take care of. If you are really free, come and accompany me …"
He was about to leave when he stopped at the corner of the pavilion and said with his back facing Zhuang Li.
"Also, the osmanthus cake that you made is really hard to eat …" "Perhaps it will taste even worse than what Eunuch Li cooks …" Zhuang Li was helpless, immediately her previously red face became pale white.
What the hell? Compared to a eunuch... He lost in the end?
