"I know." The Duke of Beichen's face did not change at all. At that moment, Beichen actually felt that this person, this brother of his, who was related to him by blood, was somewhat similar to him; he even felt a sense of déjà vu from the bottom of his heart.
"I came to make a deal with you." Bei Chen Han said without hiding anything, and the Duke of Bei Chen did not say anything. Bei Chen Han continued, "I will give my eyes to you, let Xiao'er stay by my side."
The Duke of Beichen raised his face, as if he could see the entire scene, and turned to face Beichen's face. In that instant, even Bei Chen Han himself felt that it was laughable for him to state such a request, but he did not take it back. He simply stood there silently with the Duke of Bei Chen.
But in the end, it was still Bei Chen Han who said: "Duke Bei Chen, do you really want Xiao'er to accompany you like this? Do you have the heart to do so?" Weren't you willing to do anything for Norrell in the past? Now, do you want to use blindness to keep her trapped for the rest of your life? "
This was a provocation, and both of them knew it very well.
The Duke of Beichen didn't show any reaction, "As long as you are happy, I will do anything." Pausing for a moment, he said: "Alright, I will use your eyes, Beichen. But, as for whether Little Nuo will return to your side, that has nothing to do with me. Little Nuo is an adult, so she has the right to choose. I believe you won't take it away from her."
Bei Chenghan clenched his fists and said, "I know."
Beichen Han left, and the Duke of Beichen was still standing in front of the window. The wind blew, and lingered on his face, and then left slowly, as if he had a life of his own.
Yan Qingcheng walked in, perturbed, only to see Beichen's back facing her. For some reason, she instantly felt like an illusion, as if her Third Marquis was a person who was completely devoid of emotion and could see through the world of mortals.
No, but it seemed to be different from Su Nuo's, although Yan Qingcheng could not explain the specifics, she felt that her Third Marquis had changed. He was like a cultivator who had walked further and further away from her, no, from this mortal world, but no matter how far away they had become, from the beginning to the end, everything was still unsuitable for Su Nuo. In front of Su Nuo, her Third Marquis had become more tolerant and doting, as if that love was no longer just a love between a man and a woman, but a love that he had given everything in the world to Su Nuo.
However, no matter what, it was fine as long as her Third Marquis agreed to treat her.
When Su Nuo came back, she just happened to pass by Bei Chen Han. Before Bei Chen Han reached out his hand to say anything, Su Nuo had already left. In the end, Bei Chen Han could only look at Su Nuo's back as he left, and silently retract his hand.
When Su Nuo was about to enter, Yan Qingcheng pulled her back. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Su Nuo, Bei Chenhan wants to give his eyes to the Third Marquis. You … .don't disagree, right?" She was a little afraid that Su Nuo would not like it, so she quickly said, "No matter what, Bei Chen Han owes the Third Marquis a pair of eyes." Then, from the corner of her eyes, she secretly glanced at Su Nuo because she was sure that if Su Nuo rejected, her prince would definitely reject her as well.
"As long as the lord agrees." Unexpectedly, Su Nuo did not show any displeasure or obstruction.
Yan Qingcheng heaved a sigh of relief, "The Third Marquis is waiting for you inside." Then he left.
Su Nuo went in, walked to the Duke of Northern Chen's side, pulled his hand, and placed a piece of pastry he had just bought into his hand, "It's hot, but it won't taste good when it's cold."
The Duke of Beichen took a bite: "Delicious."
"As long as it's delicious."
In the palace.
Bei Chen Han had been inside the house ever since he came back. It was pitch black inside. No one knew when he started, but he spent most of his time alone in the house, not letting anyone serve him. It also made people scared half to death when they saw him.
Bei Chen Han touched his eyes, it was not that he could not bear to part with his eyes, but he suddenly realized, if they disappeared, it would mean that he would never see his Na'er again in this life. Na'er smiled faintly, her sleeping face, her shyness, he would not be able to see anything.
He was so reluctant to part with it.
Night.
Su Nuo and Duke Bei Chen were standing side by side on the stone steps of the courtyard. Inside the room, Situ Ai unhappily frowned, "Big brother Jue, why is it that you can only see that woman?" His tone was one of the child's wilful dissatisfaction.
Yan Qingcheng didn't say anything. Everyone knew her answer, and it was fine if she didn't answer.
Su Nuo leaned on the shoulder of the Duke of Beichen, slightly tilting her head, and looked at the clear night sky. The stars above were very bright, and every one of them was exceptionally bright.
"My lord, the stars are very bright tonight, and very beautiful." Su Nuo pursed her lips and said with a smile. Her memories flew back to that year, and she, Duke Bei Chen, looked at the stars together. It was also here that the starry sky of that night was also as beautiful as it was now.
"Yes." The Duke of Beichen stretched out his arms to embrace Su Nuo, preventing the wind from blowing on her body.
"Bitch." cried Suno, softly.
"Yes." Lord Beichen agreed.
"Bitch." Su Nuo called out again, but her face was completely buried in the Duke of Northern Chen's embrace, "Viscount." There were too many emotions inside, but they were all contained in this name.
"I'm here." Lord Beichen said.
That night, both of them slept even later than usual, but Su Nuo slept abnormally peacefully. Ever since Xi Ling left, her sleep had become very shallow. Basically, she could only sleep for a while before she could no longer sleep.
Su Nuo opened her eyes as usual, but when she opened her eyes, what entered her sight was not the familiar room, but more elegance and elegance.
"Na'er, you woke up." When the people at the side saw Su Nuo wake up, they didn't know if it was due to nervousness or excitement.
Su Nuo only glanced at him once before getting up from the bed. Bei Chen Han looked at Su Nuo's emotionless face and quickly said: "Nore, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry." His tone was sincere. "Nono, I didn't mean to, but I … but I really can't control myself. Really."
"Yes." Su Nuo replied softly, still wearing her clothes as if there was no one around.
Bei Chen Han panicked a little and went to La Su Nuo, trying to let Su Nuo see his expression clearly, he knew that he really did not do it on purpose: "Xiao'er, I really did not do it on purpose, and I don't want to ask you to do anything for me just because I wanted to give Duke Bei Chen my eyes. I just, I really want to have a good look at you." Before he could see again. Bei Chen Han's voice became softer.
Su Nuo only replied once, her clothes were already dressed, and then she prepared to leave. Bei Chen Han looked anxious, he did not even think, and instinctively hugged Su Nuo, "Xiao'er, don't go, don't go. Su Nuo did not move, and Bei Chen Han hugged her even more tightly, afraid that Su Nuo would leave immediately:" Xiao'er, it's just one day, as long as you accompany me for one day, alright? "
Su Nuo's face did not even have a single ripple, just like the white clouds outside the window, floating past without leaving a trace.
"Xiao'er, I promise I won't do anything. I just want to have a good look at you, okay? Then we will go back the next day, I will give my eyes to Duke Beichen." Bei Chen Han said, his eyes filled with fear that even he did not know.
"I'm sorry, but I need to boil some medicine for the viscount." These words were said with courtesy.
Bei Chen Han was startled, and quickly said: "Then, then let's boil it here, there are all kinds of herbs here. Alright, I'll send someone to deliver it, but, Xiao'er, don't leave today, just stay by my side, there's only you and me, okay?"
Su Nuo didn't say anything, she just left Bei Chen Han's embrace, Bei Chen Han said in fear: "Xiao'er, where are you going?"
Su Nuo walked to the door and said without looking back, "Make the medicine." Then he left.
His entire person collapsed in an instant as he was submerged in a deep sense of loss. He could only helplessly watch as Su Nuo left. His heart was so weak. It was clear that he wanted to keep her, even if he had to force her, he wanted her to stay. However, he couldn't do that. He didn't even have the right to ask her to stay.
Suddenly, Beichen thought back to all those years ago, when he was always looking at the back view of Beichen's leaving him again and again. Beichen, was that Na'er at that time even weaker than him, in despair?
Not even a glimmer of hope.
Suddenly, Bei Chen Han looked at Su Nuo, but did not continue walking. Instead, he turned around. He was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it wasn't a controlled path, but towards the imperial kitchens. That moment of happiness was unparalleled, even on that day when he ascended to the throne of his dreams, he had never achieved such a level of happiness.
Bei Chenghan couldn't care so much anymore. He chased after Su Nuo with surging emotions. He was like a reckless young man meeting his beloved girl for the first time.
Underneath this happiness was hidden a little disappointment. He was clear about why his Nuo'er stayed, it was because it was Duke Bei Chen, the only person in the world who could move her heart. But even so, even though he knew it clearly, he still pretended to ignore it.
"Nore." Bei Chenghan's face was full of excitement and urgency as he laughed, "Xiao'er, let me help you!"
Su Nuo just responded softly and didn't say anything else.
Bei Chen Han was undoubtedly happy, in his long life, he wasn't as happy as he was on that day, so when the eunuchs and palace maids saw Bei Chen Han, who they had never seen or seen before, they immediately held their breath, as though as long as they held their breath, Bei Chen Han would not be able to see them.
When Bei Chen Han and Su Nuo arrived at the royal kitchen, all the servants there were so shocked that they froze for a long time, not daring to move. Beichen was displeased, as he felt that the people here were too much of an eyesore. Thus, when he opened his mouth, he said: "You all can leave." The people inside ran out as fast as they could. Several of them collided with trees or rock formations, and some even ran out of the palace. If it weren't for the guards stopping them, they would have already left.
Su Nuo did not bother with Beichen Han who was following closely behind her. She only took the herbs that she brought over and began to cook the medicine as usual. As she looked at the medicine, she started to cook breakfast.
Bei Chen Han looked more or less like the kid who was scared of a teacher in the private school when he was young, but he couldn't help but want to say something to the kid who was so conflicted. Su Nuo took the spoon. Bei Chen Han's hands were quick, and he quickly handed the spoon over to Su Nuo. When Su Nuo wanted to scoop up the water, Bei Chen Han did not say anything further, and placed the full basin of water in front of Su Nuo.
But Su Nuo just took it, with no expression on her face. Even so, for a person like Beichen who hadn't had a drink of water in a long time, this was the greatest salvation. He even felt that this little bit of time he had left behind was worth it.
