Time was really a hand that flipped the clouds and rain. She had unknowingly changed her appearance. Now that she saw Xiao Yunyi again, she actually sighed as if a lifetime had passed. She sighed that the person who had once been unforgettable to her, whom she could not forget for seven lifetimes, had become so distant under the influence of time, as if they were just travelers who had coincidentally taken the same boat to cross the river. Now that they had finally crossed the river, she had completely let go.
Smelling the strong smell of alcohol on him, Ning Shu glanced at him and curtsied slightly, saying politely, "Your Highness, drinking too much is harmful to the body."
Tonight, Xiao Yunyi's handsome face was unusually dispirited, as if he had been deeply hurt by something. He walked in front of her unsteadily, and under the bright moonlight, he stared deeply at the knot in her heart that could never be untied. "Yes, drinking too much is harmful to the body, ha ha …"
He laughed, his eyes full of ridicule. "What a polite sentence. Do you still remember what you said when I got drunk for the first time? It was the Empress Dowager's birthday and in order to liven things up for Father and the Empress Dowager, I drank too much at once. After the banquet, I almost fell into the pool. After you found out, you were so angry that you wanted to hit me and even threatened me that if I drank so much again, you would never talk to me again. After that, I didn't dare to drink so much anymore. No matter how many people persuaded me, I only drank a little because I was afraid that you would really lose your temper and ignore me. But now that I've really drunk too much, you won't ignore me anymore. Instead, you just politely said that drinking too much is harmful to the body … It's ridiculous! " The wine pot in his hand smashed into the corner of the wall with a bang, and the broken pieces splashed everywhere, just like his broken heart.
Ning Shu instinctively took half a step back, avoiding the broken pieces. "Your Highness, you're drunk and should go back to rest. I'd better send someone to escort you back to the Prince's residence."
As she spoke, she turned around to call for the servants, but a scorching hand pulled her back from behind. The owner of the hand had a pair of bloodshot eyes as he unwillingly questioned her, "You want to run when you see me? Didn't you smile at Xiahou Qing just now? Why is it that when you're facing me, you don't even know how to curve your lips and brows? And the further away from me the better!
Shu 'er, have you forgotten? In the past, you would only smile at me like that. Now, you've given that smile to other men, to Qi Huaijin, to Cloud Leaf, to Tan Siwei, who you just got engaged to. Oh right, and to Xiahou Qing! But not me! Why?! You tell me why! "
Ning Shu frowned and said, "Sixth Highness, you're really drunk. Please let go of me. You're hurting me."
Xiao Yunyi's eyes were filled with complexity and pain. "I'm not drunk. I'm more awake than ever today.
A few days ago when you were in prison, I went to see you. You might not know this, but after you said those heartless words to me, I secretly instructed the officials of the Ministry of Justice to continue with the execution. As long as they don't beat you to death or cripple you, it's fine until you admit your mistake.
I thought that I could really harden my heart and teach you a lesson. I would break your wings and let you have a taste of the sufferings of the world. In the end, you would obediently return to my side and be a sparrow in my cage that doesn't need to experience the hardships of the world.
I thought I could. I thought. But, I failed.
On the third day after that day, I finally couldn't endure the torment in my heart. I ran to Father's side palace and knelt for five days. I knelt until my knees were almost crippled before I finally begged him to be soft-hearted and forgive your punishment. He also agreed to let you out in half a month. Including yesterday, it wasn't that I didn't want to speak up for you, but because of my leg injury, by the time I rushed to Funing Palace, the dust had already settled. I couldn't even catch up with your back.
Look, I've lost to you once again. From that day eleven years ago, I was destined to lose to you. I was willing to endure it. But why did you run away halfway? "
