Heartburn

"Stupid boy, what are you crying." She chuckled and shook her head, raising her left hand slightly, as if she wanted to wipe away the tears for me, but due to the iron railing between us, she didn't move in the end, just looking at me tenderly. , Thousands of words are hidden in the eyes.

I saw a flash of silver flashing on her left hand from the corner of my light. Looking at her closely, she was wearing a silver-white ring on her index finger. The surface of the ring was engraved with a pattern of intertwined vines, and the other end was a hidden mechanism card. mouth.

And I also know that there must be a unique heart-shaped pattern engraved on the inside of that ring.

——This is the ring I gave to Jiang Zhuo, something she never leaves her body, but now it appears in Kuang Xiqing's hand.

When she and Kuang Xiqing changed their identities, they discarded the ring that I gave to her.

What she lost was not only the identity of Jiang Wei, but also the heart I gave her.

"Open the door." I took a deep breath, suppressing the surging emotions in my heart, and I whispered.

She frowned, but still waved for the guard to open the iron cage.

At this moment, a guard hurriedly walked to her side, leaned close to her and whispered a few words, her face changed and she immediately looked at me.

I walked into the iron cage quickly, holding Kuang Xiqing's arm, feeling her slenderness, her eyes were hot again, and I ignored Jiang Zhuo's gaze.

After waiting for a while, she looked at her puzzledly, but she turned her back.

"After a quarter of an hour, I will come to pick you up." After putting down these words, she left with the guard.

Only me and Kuang Xiqing were left in the huge stone room.

Silence spread, and I slowly sat on the rough straw mat with her arm, but I didn't know how to speak.

"Heh, doesn't Han'er want to see the emperor? Why don't you speak?" She broke the silence first, patted the back of my hand, and smiled nonchalantly.

At this point, she was so calm, she taught me to look at me with admiration: Could it be that she doesn't care much about the throne? Or do you mean that you have a second hand?

"Emperor sister... Are they disrespectful to you?" She took the initiative to speak, and I took the opportunity to receive it, looking at her back and forth-I am more worried that these guards will cause substance to her body than the mistreatment of food and clothing. On the hurt.

"Not at all," as if to convince me, she said as she raised her sleeves to show me-her arms were as clean as ever, and there were no scars. Seeing her so calm, I finally felt relieved, just In the end, I was embarrassed about her situation.

After all, this is all my fault.

"Jian Zhuo, no, it should be Kuang Ximing, what did she bring you here for?" She lowered her head and adjusted her cuff, she asked casually.

"I asked her to bring me..." It's just that I don't know how much I can help.

"Oh? You are familiar with her," she gestured, raised her eyes and looked at me steadily. Her eyes were deep and indistinguishable from emotion and anger. She taught me to raise her heart, "You tell me honestly, you and her ...What is the relationship?"

I opened my mouth, but I couldn't speak—how can I tell her that Jiang Zhuo is my lover who has devoted everything and promised my life?

Even I myself wonder if this is just my Nanke dream.

"I have always believed that you have me in your heart, but it turned out to be my wishful thinking..." She laughed at herself, but her smile was like a broken flower, more sad than tears.

"No, it's not like that." With her fragile smile in my eyes, my heart was touched fiercely, and I made a decision. As her smile faded, she became more determined, "Sister Huang, Han'er once loved I love you very much, and even give up my life for you."

——The person who loves you more and more is the former Kuang Xihan, not me.

"Han'er?" She looked at me with surprise and joy, but then realized what I meant, and smiled sadly, "... ever?"

"In Han'er's heart, the emperor is the best person in the world. Han'er respects and loves you, and can't wait to give you all of her heart." She was holding her chest, as if she could feel what was left in this body. That obsession—at this moment, I want Kuang Xiqing to know that there was a person who loved her so unreservedly.

"Han'er is in my heart, and he is also the best person in the world... It's a pity that Han'er is so good, but I didn't cherish it." She held my hand and smiled slightly, but her eyes were suddenly red, "I'm a bastard. "

"Emperor Sister, Han'er's body is so weak, and her reputation is so messy. What's the reason? Although Han'er doesn't say it, she knows it all in her heart." I stared at her shrunken pupils. After a hint of revenge, he immediately regretted Kuang Xihan, and the smile on his face became softer and illusory, "Even so, Han'er has never hated the emperor."

"Han'er, Han'er..." Her lips trembled, but she couldn't speak with sobs. She just squeezed my hand tightly, as if she was about to embed her finger bones in my flesh and blood and become one with me.

"It's just that I want you to know that the former Kuang Xihan is dead," I closed my eyes, I couldn't bear to look at her desperate eyes, tried to swallow the resolute words, and said quietly, "Sister and Han'er , The fate of this life is over."

"Han'er, what do you mean? What is the end of fate?" Kuang Xiqing was taken aback for a moment, and then tremblingly asked.

"What she meant, this is the last time you have met," Jiang Zhuo's voice suddenly sounded in the empty stone room, shocking me. The meaning of the words was to teach people to grow cold all over the body, "Three days later at noon. , It’s when you come down."

——When did she come?

Just now I had the conversation with Kuang Xiqing, how much did she listen to?

Did she misunderstand something?

Oh, it's just that she really misunderstood. What does it have to do with me?

"Is this your plan?" Hiding Kuang Xiqing behind her, quietly grasping her hand, I stared at Jiang Zhuo's eyes, hoping that this was just an impulsive speech from her-but through those cold eyes, I understood in an instant: she was serious.

She really wanted Kwong Xiqing to die, and she was sure to be able to do it.

If there is no way to turn the tide, three days later, Kuang Xiqing will not escape death.

"It's almost dawn, you should go back." She avoided my gaze, waved to the guard, and motioned to her to lock the cage again.

I sighed heavily and took the opportunity to take off the ring on Kuang Xiqing's index finger, removed the buckle, put my backhand on my neck, and drank the guard: "Don't move."

"Do you know what you are doing?" She waved away the guards and looked at me coldly, her eyes seemed to quench fire, but her voice seemed to contain a piece of ice.

"I know." Of course I know that this will not only threaten her identity, but also push us into the opposite of each other, creating an irreparable moat-but for the life of Kuang Xiqing, I There is no choice, "No matter what, she is my emperor sister, I won't just watch her die."

——I owe Kuang Xihan my life.

If my lover killed her beloved emperor sister, then I can only give her my life.

"How are you doing?" she asked with clenched fists.

"Let her go." I felt the sudden burst of momentum from Jiang Zhuo's body, and my heart slammed. The hand against the neck applied strength, and the sharp blade made a cut easily.

The sudden smell of blood taught her to step back for a while, and a struggling flash in her eyes: "What if I shouldn't?"

"Then I will die with her." Cruel, ignoring the sharp pain in my neck, I added a little more strength.

——I'm betting.

Betting on the weight of herself in her heart, perhaps with some eagerness to try to prove.

But to be honest, after seeing the ring on Kuang Xiqing's hand, I was not too sure.

"Enough, stop!" The waist tightened, but Kuang Xiqing behind him hugged me, split his hand to grab the ring against my neck, immediately tore off the cloth strip on the hem, and pressed it hard against mine. At the wound, he screamed, "Who allows you to hurt yourself?"

Without waiting for me to speak, she raised her head to look at Jiang Zhuo with a loose look, curled her lips slightly, and said in a slow voice: "The winner is the king and the loser is willing to bet. It is my negligence to lose this world... I have no complaints. "

I saw her holding up the ring, pressing it against the corner of her eye, and slashing it down violently-I only felt a flash of blood in front of her eyes. Suddenly, there was a bloodstain on her white jade flawless face from the corner of her eye. The chin was bottomless, and bleeding came gurglingly: "From now on, there is only one emperor in this world...There is no Kuang Ximing, and there is no guard Jiang Zhuo similar to the emperor."

"Emperor Sister..." I stared at her skinny side face blankly, trying to reach out to stop her bleeding, but didn't dare to touch her wounds-I was even more flustered and at a loss when I met her gentle eyes that had nothing to do with her. Will cry innocently.

"Okay, I'll let you go." After a while, Jiang Zhuo whispered suddenly.

Her expressionless expression made me feel sore, but she still resisted and opened her mouth: "Send the emperor to the Lingwang Mansion, and let Yan Ke take her away... If you kill them secretly behind my back, I Never live alone."

"In your eyes, am I a capricious villain?" she asked with a frown.

Facing her question, I wanted to deny it, but when it came to my lips, it turned into another sentence, "Are you less deceiving me?"

Regrettably, I saw her grinning miserably. She took two steps backwards as if she couldn’t help. He glanced at me deeply and said in a dumb voice: "Okay, okay... come here, send her to the Ling Palace-She Ruo There is one less feather, but you are the only one to ask."

"Yes." The guard bowed to take the order, walked to my side and helped Kuang Xiqing, and was about to take her away.

Taking the **** ring from her hand, I hugged her gently, and said word by word in her ear: "Emperor Sister, this world is good, my life is fine, you and I are even. Don't owe each other-never meet again."

"Han'er, you are really cruel." Let the guard take her away half-dragging and half-hugging, not caring about the **** wounds, Kuang Xiqing still smiled and murmured: "...I'm not convinced. ."

Watching her being taken away silently, I couldn't help but quietly relieved, but in the next moment, I was taught to grasp the wrist tightly, confined in my arms, unable to move.

"Now, are you satisfied?" She curled her mouth mockingly, but her eyes were full of pain, and her heart hurting as well.

——You chose the former between the throne and me, and it is doomed to separate you from me.

Because I can stay with my personal guard Jiang Zhuo and wander the world, but I can't risk the world and go a little bit with my emperor Kuang Xiqing.

From the moment you choose to seize the throne, there is no possibility between us, but I have been reluctant to admit it.

But when I saw the ring, I figured it out: something is slipping from between us a little bit, I can't catch it, and can't keep it.

...Then, it's better to let go.
