"It's mint. If you can't take it, put the mint leaves in your mouth to avoid fainting on the way." Jiang Wuyue said lightly.
However, before Shui Ruo could even thank him, the man continued: "If you faint, it will delay my journey. If anyone discovers us, you'll be dead. And my plan failed. "
After saying this, the man turned his head to look at the scenery outside the window. Shui Long held the embroidered box, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. How could there be such an awkward person?
However, he was really clumsy. If it was anyone else, they would use this as a favor, right? What's with his attitude of "I didn't do it for you"? Was she arrogant?
Shui Long didn't know what to say, so he didn't say anything else. She didn't really like talking to people, so being able to be quiet was the best.
Although she was angry, she was now convinced that she couldn't leave this man. Lovesick Gu, as the name implied, once left far away, it would be hard to endure the pain of lovesick. Most people would be trapped by their emotions, and this poison must be the result of it.
These two days of hard work, as long as she saw Jiang Wuyue, she would be unable to contain her happiness. She would feel comfortable from the inside out. However, once he was out of sight, he would lose his appetite. He sounded no different from someone who liked this person. However, the truth was that she did not like Jiang Wuyue. She was certain of this.
Thus, it was likely that she had really been poisoned by the so-called Gu poison.
She had never been someone who wanted to mistreat him. Since she couldn't resist, she might as well enjoy it.
As he thought this, he inched closer to the man.
"Well, why are you so close to me?" It was very hot outside, and Jiang Wuyue was also very hot. Moreover, he hated people being with him.
Especially when people were touching him.
It would remind him of his past.
"There's nothing I can do. It could be that I'm affected by the Gu poison, so I really want to get close to you. As long as I get close to you, I'll feel comfortable." It was your fault I was poisoned, so it's not a big deal if I rely on you, right? " Shui spoke out and then fell into the man's arms.
"You! Aren't you afraid of Night Emperor Shang seeing you like that? " Jiang Wuyue panicked. She did not expect Shui Long to throw himself into her arms.
He even forgot to say the two words' Prince ', directly addressing Night Emperor Shang by his name.
Shui Long heard what he said and looked at the man. He chuckled: "He will understand, and how can he see it?"
"Is this how you set your sights on him? Keep yourself in place for him where he can see it, and do something shameful where he cannot see it. "Women are indeed all the same." Jiang Wuyue sneered.
He taunted her somewhat disdainfully.
Shui Long's face darkened when he heard this. He sat up in Chen Changsheng's bosom and asked unhappily, "Did you misunderstand?"
"Misunderstanding? What can I misunderstand? "
"What do you mean by guarding one's self like jade? When did I become a loyal servant for him? Also, what shady business have I done with you? I did not molest you, and I did not like you. Third, I don't like him either! Even if he was, that person definitely wouldn't be him.
The relationship between him and I is not something that can be explained in a few words, nor is it something that an outsider like you can understand. " The sound of the water was ice-cold.
She wanted to say it a few days ago. This person's attitude was always like she was the Night Emperor's wife, making people furious.
If she was really the woman from Night Emperor Shang, then perhaps this situation wouldn't have happened.
"Your temper is not small at all. However, even if you weren't his woman, you shouldn't have gotten too close to me. If a man and a woman, 7 years old, sit at different seats, and if you are seen by others, that is proof that you do not follow the path of a woman. " Jiang Wuyue continued to say stubbornly.
Shui Ruo heard her words and laughed completely. "You don't follow the path of a woman? Men and women sitting in different seats at the age of seven? What are you talking about?
Why should I obey those rotten rules? I just have to be myself. I don't care what other people think. Besides, you who gave me the Lovesick Gu have no right to say such words.
You don't know about this, do you? As long as I can't lean by your side for a moment, I will be upset and wish I could see you at all times. However, he clearly knew in his heart that he didn't like you. This feeling of helplessness and being unable to refuse. " Shui Yuehan's voice was still cold as he complained to the man.
"I know." Jiang Wuyue's voice was very soft. Almost too small to hear.
However, Shui Ruo unexpectedly heard it clearly.
"You know?" Shui Long was stunned.
"Lovesick Gu is a two-sided Gu, I gave you the Gu, the same, I feel it too. Apart from the fact that you are dead and I am not, we feel the same. You want to get close to me, and I want to get close to you. "
Jiang Wuyue took off her mask as she spoke.
Shui Long was stupefied the moment he saw the man's face. The man's originally fair face was now scarlet red, and his breathing was a little ragged. He looked at the water in the water, and his scarlet eyes were filled with darkness.
Because of the hot weather, his face was covered in sweat. The sweat landed on his hair, causing it to stick to the side of his face, making him look extremely fragile.
It was obvious that he had the same feelings as her. However, the only difference was that she was a woman and he was a man. Even if she wanted to get close to him, she wouldn't have any reaction. But he was different!
Seeing the man's awkward attitude, Shui Ruo didn't know whether to laugh at his stupidity or mock him.
Since this Lovesick Gu was so deceitful, why did he go so far as to feed it to her? Wouldn't he be able to bring her back even if he poisoned her?
Now that he had suffered, what was in his head?
"Have you seen enough?" Jiang Wuyue felt a little embarrassed after being stared at by Shui Ruo, and asked angrily.
"Nope." Shui Ruo answered honestly, and Jiang Wuyue's face turned dark.
However, even though Jiang Wuyue's face turned dark, she didn't get angry at Shui Yuehan as she had when she first saw him. If one thought carefully, from the beginning, Jiang Wuyue had never been carefree for the sake of sadness. Although he had said some very unpleasant words to the Emperor in the end, he had never truly done anything to the Emperor in the water.
Shui Yuehan could feel his politeness and alienation even when they were face to face with each other, even when they were very close. It was like a formality, and that was one of the reasons why she was sure that this person would not touch her.
This person looked very abnormal, but in reality, he was surprisingly gentle.
Shui You couldn't help but laugh out loud as he thought about this.
"What are you laughing at?" Jiang Wuyue was puzzled.
"Nothing, I just feel that you're actually a good person."
"Huh? Are you crazy? Or do you like to be treated like this by me? " Jiang Wuyue looked confused. He originally thought that the woman in front of him already hated him, but he didn't expect her to say such a thing.
Why? Because she felt sorry for him? If that was the case, then there were even more pitiful people in this world. But what else could it be?
It would make a woman think that he was very kind. No one in Jiang Country thought like this, not even his mother.
"I knew you'd say that." Shui Long had guessed Jiang Wuyue's rebuttal.
This guy always thinks he's cruel or something, doesn't he? Because of this, it's always like someone owes me and I won't open my heart to others.
However, when interacting with others, he couldn't help but reveal a lonely expression. He wanted to have a deeper conversation with others, even if he didn't say it aloud. However, his expression betrayed him.
"I don't know what you're talking about. However, these words were not a problem here. About me being kind or something, going to my country, I absolutely can't say. Do you know? " Jiang Wuyue looked at Shui Ruo and said solemnly. Although she didn't know why she felt that he was very kind, but … If these words were heard by the people of Jiang Guo.
"Are you shy?" The water blinked.
"No, you misunderstand. I'm just worried that if you say I'm kind in front of them, you will be treated as a demon woman who helped the evil, and might even be burnt by them. " When Jiang Wuyue said this, she couldn't help but sneer.
"I am the Crown Prince of Jiang Country. The court ministers who saw me were like mice that saw a cat. All the people of Jiang Country hate me to the bones, wish to drink my blood and eat my flesh. After that, my mother exterminated my family and killed me. "
Jiang Wuyue paused her words.
"You're still alive." Shui Ruo said calmly.
"Yeah, I thought I would die the moment I fell off the cliff, but I didn't expect that I would be caught by a tree branch and saved. And then came to your country. I know about this country, and... This country that doesn't hate me, and its people.
I love it, but I know it doesn't belong to me. "
"That is natural. "But, why do the people of Jiang Country hate you so much?" The water flowed slowly, not understanding. If it was already very strange for his mother to hate him, then wouldn't it be even stranger for the citizens of Jiang Country?
What did he do wrong to make the entire country hate him?
"My birth was known as an unknown, and from that time on, the cholera epidemic in Jiang State continued. A mutiny, a plague. It lasted until which country I left.
They all said it was because of my cursed eyes that I became like this. So they hate me. They felt that I had deprived them of their happiness, that I had separated them from their loved ones. It's all my fault. "
Jiang Wuyue's tone was calm, as if she was telling a story from someone else. And he was just a spectator.
But what about the truth? He was not a spectator, but the client.
To be hated by the people of one's own country, to be despised by one's own mother. Jiang Wuyue had been rejected from the beginning. Perhaps, it wasn't that he didn't want to interact with others, but that he really didn't know what to do?
"If you want to capture me, it can't be that you're afraid of the war between our country and the Jiang Country, right?" Shui Long looked at Jiang Wuyue and felt that there was definitely such a possibility.
Hearing that, Jiang Wuyue shook his head: "The new emperor of your country is not a warlike monarch, so I'm not worried. And even if it did start a war, so what? They did not expect me to blame all my sins on my head, and neither did I respond.
Let them perish that way. I only brought you back for my own sake. "
"You yourself?" The water flowed slowly, not understanding.
"Jiang Guo is in a mess right now, I want the help of your emperor, but I don't have any relationship with your new emperor, on what basis should I get him to help me? Originally, I planned to take Night Emperor Shang back as a hostage. But I didn't expect you. I originally wanted to use you as a hostage to hold Night Emperor Shang hostage, but what made me even more surprised was that you were actually the love of your new Emperor.
Since the new emperor had ascended the throne, it was inevitable that the world would be pardoned. In addition to all this, the treasury should be in dire need of money, yet under such circumstances, he was willing to pay such a high price. It shows how important you are to him.
That's why, bringing you back, and having Night Emperor Shang protect and escort us, is my final decision. "
Jiang Wuyue, for once, didn't joke around with Shui Long. Instead, she told him about his thoughts.
Maybe he was the only kidnapper who would explain his intentions to the hostage.
"I have to say, you made the right choice. If you chose Night Emperor Shang, I can guarantee that in the end, Night Emperor Yan will definitely kill you along with him, and won't have any deals with you. " Shui Ruo said with certainty. He thought about how Ye Huang Shang and Ye Huang Yan were at odds, and then thought about Ye Huang Xiu.
He only felt powerless. None of these royal brothers would actually do anything for him. One was more vicious than the other.
The Night Emperor was the most benevolent, but at the same time, he was also the most ruthless.
He would not be like Night Emperor Shang and Night Emperor Yan and do everything to the end. But he would give up everything for righteousness. Even she had been abandoned.
"Night Emperor's Flames... That seems to be the name of your new emperor. " Jiang Wuyue was deep in thought.
"Yes, that's his name. This person is similar to you in some ways, but his mother is better. " At least they wouldn't carve the word 'slave' on his face.
"Imperial Mother? Heh! Perhaps in this world, only my mother would do such a thing. "
"I don't know how to comfort you, but I feel that if you were your mother's biological son, then she must have had some sort of difficulties that caused her to do something too excessive to you." Shui looked at the man and spoke sincerely and sincerely.
When the man heard this, he shook his head. "There is nothing to hide. When the Queen Mother treated me like that, I started to hate her and was afraid of her. When I grew up, I also thought about it. Perhaps the Queen Mother was like the other empress, just hiding things that were difficult to put into words.
