Who says maids don't fall for the city

Chapter 23: This life is only for one person (2)
The shallow two or three words of "silly girl", maybe he said it unintentionally, but it means a lot to me.Such an intimate title, I can't remember the last time he called me.

His eyes became hot, he buried his head into his back, and said in a muffled voice: "Emperor Qingze is Yang Ziyu."

He didn't seem too surprised, just smiled lightly: "No wonder."

There was a shout from the horse team behind him, and when he looked back, he faintly saw a person galloping on a white horse. The sun dazzled his eyes, but the bright yellow color on the person's body clearly showed his identity.I was so surprised that I even forgot to move and could only stare blankly.

Ling An showed joy on his face, and wanted to report to me happily, but his smile froze.I think he must have seen the panic on my face, and Cheng Yu's extremely calm voice came from my ear.

"There is no way."

The horse neighed, and stamped its hooves for two or three steps on the spot.Cheng Yu reined in the horse and turned around, facing our pursuers.I looked back and felt goosebumps all over my body -- the abyss stood under my feet, and the horseshoe kicked some small stones down into the abyss from time to time, and there was no echo for a long time.

The pursuers surrounded us in a fan shape. Although Cheng Yu's voice didn't change much, I could clearly feel his body becoming tense.

Now there are chasing soldiers behind the cliff in front of it, and it seems that it is difficult to escape.I'm not afraid, I just don't want Cheng Yu to be in danger because of me.I don't know how many people came to see it at a glance, it is densely packed, and it is impossible to break through.

Thinking about it this way makes it easier.Cheng Yu turned around and embraced me, tapped the stirrup with his toes, and immediately turned and fell to the ground.He slapped the horse's butt hard, and the black horse rushed out with hooves raised.

That big black horse has been by his side since he was a child, at this moment Cheng Yu may be thinking that it will survive, or it may be - let it go to rescue soldiers.It's just that it's so easy to find helpers in the capital of Qingze.

Seeing the black horse rushing madly, everyone thought that since the prisoner was still under control, a horse would run away as soon as it ran, so they didn't stop it, but gave way to the black horse to pass.All eyes are on us, every move is taken care of.

Yang Ziyu also got off the horse, stared at me, but said to Cheng Yu: "I will give you whatever you want, let her go."

Cheng Yu chuckled lightly: "If I let her go, can I still get out alive?" There is no fear in the conversation, and it is such a fearless person that is even more frightening.Sure enough, after he said this, Yang Ziyu's expression changed.After a long while, Yang Ziyu also looked relaxed: "Who the hell are you? Why do you want to hold me Queen Qingze hostage? Aren't you afraid of making an enemy of a country?!" The words were spoken lightly, but their power was incomparable.

All Qingze soldiers geared up immediately, as if they wanted to hack Cheng Yu into pieces to vent their hatred.

Cheng Yu didn't refute, but just hugged me tightly, and Yang Ziyu's eyes were red.

The little Ling'an squeezed through the crowd and came to the middle at some point, staring at Cheng Yu with wide eyes: "You release Qing'er and take me as a hostage. She is not Queen Qingze yet, but I am Mu Prince Yun Kingdom, you have a better chance of winning if you hold me hostage."

Listening to his logical analysis of who is more useful, me or him, I couldn't help laughing, but my heart felt warm.Shaking his head at him: "Ling An, you go back quickly, I'm fine."

Cheng Yu's gentle voice suddenly came from next to his ear: "Qing'er, your heart is still so soft-hearted. Now that you pity a child's life, did you leave me and marry him because of unavoidable reasons?" It was extremely ambiguous, as if there was some adultery between us.

When Yang Ziyu heard the words, she immediately turned her eyes to me, as if she wanted to get a denial.I don't know what Cheng Yu's intention is, but I understand that he never does inexplicable things.So he made a sad expression: "Since it's all over, why bother to mention it again."

Cheng Yu smiled boldly: "What Qing'er said is that since it's all over, you shouldn't think about it anymore." After a pause, he said: "I robbed you this time, and I never thought that I could get out alive. The reason is Like this, I just want to ask you one thing, and that is whether you still have me in your heart."

I lowered my eyes to the ground, as if lost in thought.

"Qing'er."

Yang Ziyu suddenly called me, her voice full of caution.

Looking up, his face is still calm, but the anxiety and expectation in his eyes can't deceive anyone.My heart softened for no reason, and I didn't want to lie to him, but to me, nothing in the world is more important than Cheng Yu.

He bowed his head again, and said softly: "Of course I still like you." After a pause, he said bitterly: "I have liked you since I was a child, I like you now, and I will like you in the future."

His body seemed to gain courage from these words, he straightened his neck, and looked sideways at Cheng Yu.

"Only you in this world can make my heart happy, only you can make me want to cherish it, I hold my heart in front of you, even if you break, I won't blame you." The more I talk, the clearer my mind becomes, maybe this There is only one chance in my life to express all my feelings, at least to let him know that I really like him.

Cheng Yu was startled for a moment, with an inexplicable look on his face.But just for a moment, he found himself.He couldn't see his face, but the deep and shallow halos in his eyes made it hard to see.I stretched out my hand to caress my temples, and laughed: "With your words, I will die without regret."

Qingze's soldiers seemed to be stunned, maybe they didn't expect that a farce of catching criminals would turn into a queen having an affair with someone in the end.

I pinched my sleeves and stared at Yang Ziyu with a smiling face as if I made up my mind.

"Ayu", I whispered, "I am very grateful for your kindness to me, it's just..." At this point, I suddenly felt that although I hadn't flattered him positively for so long, I was misleading him about my dislike for him .Guilt is like an invisible hand tightly grasping the whole heart, the tip of the nose softens, and the eyes are already hazy.

Yang Ziyu stood silently, as if watching a farce.

"It's just that I was born at the wrong time." If you were the one who accompanied me since childhood, and if the white-clothed boy appeared in my life before I found out that I fell in love with Cheng Yu, then maybe everything would not have ended like it is today.

Yang Ziyu looked at me directly, and said coldly: "You have liked him since you were a child, then", he turned to Cheng Yu: "Your Excellency is the son of Prince Yi?"

Seeing that he guessed Cheng Yu's identity, I couldn't help but panic.But Cheng Yu beside him seemed to be indifferent.

"Your Majesty is thinking too much. I am just a commoner. Because I have known Qing'er since I was a child, we agreed to each other for life. I am not a noble son."

His emotions gradually infected me, and I gradually relaxed.Shaking his head calmly, "He's really not Cheng Yu." Thinking of Yang Ziyu's kindness to me in the past, maybe he will think of me, at least pamper me this time.So she said softly: "Ayu, you and I are destined to miss each other in this life. There are so many beauties in this world for you to choose, and every one of the three thousand beauties in the harem is worse than me. Why don't you let me go this time, and I will repay you in the next life."

Yang Ziyu waved his sleeves and said with a sneer: "Do you think that I will let you go? Qing'er, I once said that I will give you whatever you want. Just don't leave me. As long as you stay by my side, I will There will be a way to make you fall in love with me."

He, what's wrong with him.Can't help but sigh.

The wind is getting stronger and stronger, and the hair is entangled and flying.

Cheng Yu smiled suddenly: "It seems that we are going to sleep here forever." He looked at me tenderly: "Are you afraid?"

I was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and shook my head in denial: "As long as I'm with you, I'm not afraid of anything."

His eyes were warm, and he turned to Yang Ziyu in a low voice: "Your Majesty, can't you really let us go?"

Yang Ziyu's face remained unchanged, "As long as you let go of the queen, I will let you go." At the end, she said word by word: "Never break my promise."

Cheng Yu let go of my hand, and shook my hand instead, with a hearty smile: "In this way, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness, but Qing'er has decided to stay with me for the rest of my life, I'm afraid I will disappoint Your Majesty." Pulling me quickly turned around and jumped.

The wind was blowing head-on, making the complicated clothes on his body rattle.There was a faint exclamation behind the ears, but everything seemed so hazy.Only the temperature of the palm is real.

With a smile on his lips, he closed his eyes.

When he woke up in a daze, there was a smell of meat on the tip of his nose, which made his stomach gurgle.Sitting up, he saw Cheng Yu sitting by the fire. He had already taken off his mask, and he was grilling a stick with rabbit meat in his hand.Seeing me wake up, he raised his jaw at me.I immediately got up and trot over and sat down next to him.

Smash it, smash your mouth: "It should be almost the same."

He sneered, pulled off a rabbit leg and handed it to me, and I immediately took it and ate it regardless of my image.While eating, he looked at him.

After a long time, he still looked calm, not affected by my image at all.

Rolling his eyes: "I never knew you could bake food, but I didn't expect it to taste good."

He raised his eyebrows and glanced at me indifferently: "Is that all you can think about in your mind?"

I was stunned: "Otherwise, what are you thinking?"

He turned his eyes back to the rabbit helplessly: "At least you should ask me what happened, where is this place, and why are we here..."

Listening to his rambling, I was still confused: "Where is this, and what does it matter? We are together anyway."

Cheng Yu was slightly startled when he heard the words, and after a while, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he stopped talking.

Seeing that he ignored me, I could only pass the time by myself.Looking around, he saw that what he was in seemed to be a cave. The water vapor in the cave was very heavy, but there were no creatures like small bugs.Looking towards the entrance of the cave, there is a vast expanse, and there is a hazy scenery in the field of vision.Curious, he wiped his oil-stained hands on the hem of the skirt, ran to the entrance of the cave, and was shocked—the cave was in mid-air, with the sky above and no land below.In amazement, an eagle glided nearly two meters in front of me, backed away in panic, tripped over something, and fell to the ground immediately.

As soon as my shoulders warmed up, Cheng Yu helped me stand up.

"This cave was accidentally discovered by my father when he was fighting. After coming to Mocheng, he took me to Qingze to familiarize himself with the terrain. He once led me there."

"Oh", I replied, but I was still afraid: "But this is halfway up the mountain, what if we don't fall in?" If there is a slight error, it will be smashed to pieces!
"About two-thirds of the way from the top of the cave to the top of the cliff, my father has already ordered people to install iron chains, there is nothing wrong with it."

Nodding happily, it seems that the prince is still smart!
Just, "Then how do we leave?" staring at him.

Cheng Yu's expression looked confident, he turned back to the fire and picked up a roll of tree vines, "Use this to hang down, we will slide down along the vines. When we reach the end, we will not be far from the ground. Then I will use lightness kung fu , there must be nothing wrong with it.”

I have always believed in him. Seeing his swearing, I did not doubt him, and continued to go back to the fire to warm up.To be honest, the cave is too cold and humid, which makes people uncomfortable.

He also sat back to his original position and put his hands on the fire to roast: "We jumped off the cliff, and Yang Ziyu will definitely lead people to search under the cliff. There is a river under the cliff. If they can't find it today, they will definitely think we Get swept away by the current, and go down the stream to find it. Then we'll be able to go down."

The implication is that I want to stay here for one night.Of course I have no opinion.

I think Cheng Yu was not as unprepared as he told me beforehand, but brought food and dry firewood to the cave, otherwise we would definitely not survive today and would be starved to death or frozen to death.

He looked at the flames: "There are no bones left, only if he thinks you are dead, the matter will be considered resolved."

Unexpectedly, in just one afternoon, the remaining dry firewood was wet by the moisture in the hole, and the fire could not be lit for a long time.

I was a little discouraged, so I just sat aside and watched Cheng Yu fiddle with it for nearly an hour, but the fire still didn't ignite as we expected.

It was already dark, and the howling wind outside the cave made people feel creepy.

He clapped his hands: "There is no other way, let's make do for one night."

As he spoke, he walked to the left and pointed to the place where I lay when I woke up. "Sleep here tonight, you can avoid the wind, at least it will be warmer."

I moved over, picked up the pebbles on the ground, and looked up at him.

He frowned: "What's wrong?"

I looked innocent: "My lord, my servant will take care of you to bed."

A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "I don't see you being so well-behaved on weekdays." After speaking, he shook his head: "Go to sleep."

I cheered and hurriedly lay down to occupy the territory.Cheng Yu also took the place next to me to sleep.

It was so cold that I couldn't sleep.

I was wearing layers and layers of complicated wedding dress, which looked much thicker than Cheng Yu's night clothes, but when I was shivering from the cold, he still looked at ease.This really makes me a little unbalanced.

"Are you asleep?" I called softly, but there was no answer.

"Really fell asleep?" I shouted again.

Seeing that he didn't move for a long time, I turned over, put my hands on the ground, and crawled to his side.He leaned over and looked, his eyes were closed, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.As soon as I got close to him, a heat source was continuously transmitted to my body, which relieved my almost frozen hands and face.

How is he not cold?I couldn't help but frown. Could it be that he was still wearing something like fur to keep out the cold, but he just refused to tell me?
With my head almost frozen, I really didn't have the energy to think carefully about those messy thoughts.Actions are always faster than ideas.

But in a blink of an eye, his hand had already reached his lapel, hesitating for a while, he still stretched his stiff hand in.In an instant, he touched his warm skin.

I didn't feel it, I only knew that that thing could bring me warmth, so I put my hand on his chest to warm it up.

"What are you doing?" A clear voice rang in my ear.

I gasped, and when I raised my eyes, I saw Cheng Yu looking at me calmly, his dark eyes were still surprisingly bright in the dark night.The bright light made me instantly feel like a flower picker.

"Hey", he laughed awkwardly, "The weather is really nice today." As he said that, he wanted to give himself a slap—how ​​could he say such unstandard words? !
Cheng Yu was taken aback for a moment, a slight smile flashed in his eyes, he glanced down at my hand, then turned to look at me again: "When are you going to touch it?"

I want to leave too, but it's too cold.

Thinking about it this way, I feel confident.Eyes widened: "We have known each other for more than ten years. I haven't seen any part of your body? When I was a child, I even helped you take a bath. What's there to be shy?!" , even Cheng Yu was stunned by me.

After a long while, he grinned: "Ji Qing'er, I think you are getting bolder. Emperor Qingze has a crush on you, so you dare to challenge me?" His tone was calm, and anyone else would think he was very calm at the moment.But the object is me.

Immediately accepting his upcoming anger, he immediately put on a pitiful expression.

"I'm really cold." I felt that maybe I was really frozen stupid, because after I said this, I put my face on Cheng Yu's face, left after a while, and looked at him very sincerely: "Look, my face is stiff."

Cheng Yu's mouth twitched, but he didn't push me away.After a long while, he sighed, took my hand out, and then stretched out his hand and pulled me into his arms, face to face, "This way it won't be cold, go to sleep."

His breath sprayed on my forehead, with warmth, my heart suddenly bumped like a deer.The sound of its beating was really loud, I was afraid of being heard by Cheng Yu, so I tried my best to control my breathing and slowly slow down my heart rate.

Xu Shi's body slowly warmed up after such a tense experience, coupled with Cheng Yu's body temperature.I don't know how long it took, but fell into a deep sleep.

Awakened by Cheng Yu the next day, he tied one end of the vine to a big rock, and tied the other end around his waist.I hugged him tightly, and the two slowly moved down from the hole.

It was cold, windy, and very high up there.I kept my eyes closed and didn't dare to look around, I just hugged him tightly as Cheng Yu said.

It took almost a morning to put the whole vine out.He tightened the vine with one hand, and untied the knot around his waist with the other.Hug me as soon as you untie it.With the tiptoes pointing towards the stone wall, he let go of the vines and flew down.

The wind was blowing, and I bit my lip to keep myself from screaming.As if a century had passed, the body hit the water, and the skin ached.The river suddenly overflowed the top of the head.I was unprepared for a moment and choked on a few sips of water. I have never been able to swim since I was a child, and now I am hugging Cheng Yu like an octopus.

When I opened my eyes, I saw that he was entangled by me, unable to exert any strength.Cheng Yu desperately motioned for me to relax, but my body couldn't act according to my brain, I just knew to hold this driftwood that represented life.

The peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly, and the next second came towards my face.I was startled, afraid that he would forcefully push me away as a burden, so I immediately closed my eyes and dared not look any more.But the expected pain didn't happen, instead, the lips were covered with a layer of soft waxy stuff, which felt like early spring.

I opened my eyes in a daze, and I saw Cheng Yu's eyes were close at hand, and his dark pupils were fixed on me.Only then did he realize that the soft sticky thing was his lips.It seemed to me like a dream, everything was so hazy and unreal.

In a daze, she stuck out her tongue, licked his lips lightly, and then retracted it.Well, it really isn't that real.

Cheng Yu seemed to be stunned, and looked at me inexplicably, his eyes were full of shock.

I also looked back at him and didn't move for a long time.
