Chapter 44 Selection

Chapter 41 Choices

The moment when the three of them faced each other seemed like an illusion.The moonlight in the courtyard is quiet, the air is cold, and the fragrance of plum blossoms floats faintly.

Looking at Shang Yu and Si Tian in his arms, Pei Yunkuang seemed to feel a surge of air rushing between his heart and lungs.He never thought that Shang Yuhui would have such a hidden love for her.At this moment, he finally understood why Shang Yu sent her a present on her birthday.His fingers clenched, but let go.There are hidden guards guarding the yard, and his identity prevents him from losing control in front of his servants.

He pursed his thin lips tightly, his eyes could not move half an inch from Shang Yu's arm.The woman he hadn't hugged yet was held by Shang Yu in his arms, like a gentle water lily.

Si Tian woke up from the shock, and quickly jumped off Shang Yu's arm.There was nowhere to put his eyes, and his mind was twisted and twisted into a ball, so chaotic that he could hardly breathe.How could there be such an embarrassing and embarrassing scene, she wished she could find a place to escape and not face this situation.

Shang Yu looked at Pei Yunkuang with a slightly surprised expression.Why did he come here late at night to see her injury?But Pei Yunkuang's face was as cold as ice, and he faintly felt that something was wrong. A thought flashed like lightning. Could it be that Si Tian is not just a Suzaku in Pei Yunkuang's heart?As soon as he thought of this, a kind of vigilance suddenly spread, and he felt cold and tense in his heart, only wishing that he was thinking too much.

The two spoke almost at the same time.

"My lord, why are you here?"

"Where are you taking her?"

Shang Yu glanced at Si Tian and said, "It's not safe here, I want to take her to my house."

Pei Yunkuang said decisively: "No." His brows were frowned together, not angry but mighty, this was one of the few times he showed a stern look in front of Shang Yu.

Shang Yu raised his eyebrows, and asked calmly, "Why?" He had a vague premonition in his heart that Pei Yunkuang would not let him take her away, and he didn't bother to speculate about the reason.

Pei Yunkuang said: "She is my maid, she went to your house, what do people think of our relationship. Don't forget your current identity."

Shang Yu showed a smile: "Why don't everyone spread the word that I robbed King Anqing's maid and turned against King Anqing, isn't that in line with everyone's wishes?"

Pei Yunkuang's face was gloomy, and he said in a low voice, "Nonsense, you've never thought about her reputation."

Shang Yu smiled gently at Si Tian: "Of course I have thought about this, and I will naturally be responsible for her."

Pei Yunkuang's heart was shocked, the word "responsible", Shang Yu said it bluntly, and it was inevitable, which shocked him a little.He had never said such a thing to her. At this moment, he had to admit that he was in charge of the overall situation, looked forward and backward, and did not have such a bearing in front of her.

He glanced at Si Tian, ​​she was standing behind Shang Yu with her head bowed, the night was dark and the lights were dim, his tall and masculine and her delicate and delicate, there was a harmonious harmony, gentle and hazy.

At this moment, he deeply felt helpless.Shang Yu can speak his mind frankly and decisively, but he can't. He doesn't want Shang Yu to take her away, but he can't just say the reason.

"Did you ask her what she meant?"

Shang Yu said calmly: "Of course I asked." She did ask, but she refused.But he can't tolerate her willfulness. She looks weak, but she is actually very stubborn. Sometimes he has to use force when dealing with her.

Pei Yunkuang said seriously: "Shang Yu, don't forget your mission, this is not the time for your son and daughter to love each other. Cang Qiao is still waiting for you to go back."

Shang Yu said proudly: "I don't think that accomplishing great things is in conflict with this matter. If you can't even protect a woman, how can you protect your clansmen?"

Pei Yunkuang said: "These are two different things." In his heart, he always felt that these were two different things. Women can only be pampered and pampered after they have governed the country and brought peace to the world.

Shang Yu shook his head: "In my eyes, there is no distinction between serious and serious, her safety and security are very important."

Si Tian couldn't help but looked up at Shang Yu, his heart sank heavily.She really weighed so much in his heart!She looked at Pei Yunkuang again, meeting his gaze.She is very clear about his difficulties and helplessness, but she is even more aware that she will never have such weight in his heart.She lowered her gaze, she was touched by Shang Yu's affection at this moment.

The two men were silent for a moment, looking at each other, and neither of them seemed to retreat.The difference was that Pei Yunkuang couldn't reveal his heart and had many worries, while Shang Yu, being straightforward, had the upper hand.

Sometimes, if you are too rational, you will lose the opportunity; sometimes, a word and a thing are a watershed.

She stood behind Shang Yu, very sober.Last night when Pei Yunkuang rescued her from injury, those two words he said while standing by the door stirred up waves in her heart like a boulder, but at this moment, she was extremely firm.

Emotionally, he will never do his best like Shang Yu. He always has a lot of considerations and scruples. If the word "dust settles" is used, then she is the last dust.At this moment, he can't say, she is mine, you can't take her away.He can't say, what she likes is me, you let go.His euphemism and Shang Yu's frankness and directness are a contrast, which makes her heart very open. Who should let go, she knew early on. Even though there are many touching and unforgettable, but these can be stored away. It's better to press the bottom of the box and let the years erode away.

She raised her head and said to Shang Yu: "Let's go to the room, I have something to tell you."

When the two entered the room, Si Tian slightly opened the door.She looked at Shang Yu, since he confessed to her, this was the first time she met his gaze openly.

"My lord said, there are still many things waiting for you to do in Cangqiao. Are you from Cangqiao?"

Shang Yu pondered for a moment, then said: "It's half, my mother is Princess Ronghe who went to Cangqiao with her relatives. The old King Anqing is my uncle." He planned to tell her after a while.

She was so surprised that she couldn't speak, it turned out that Pei Yunkuang was his cousin, no wonder he always looked calm in front of Pei Yunkuang, without any humble expression. "

"Then why are you here?"

It was an old blood account, and he would not be able to explain it clearly for a while. He looked at her closely and asked in a deep voice: "I'll talk about Cang Qiao later. Would you like to come with me?"

She bowed her head in silence for a moment, and said: "Three years ago, there was a severe drought in Xinzhou, and the relief from the imperial court was delayed. The prince sent a post to hold a banquet, inviting wealthy businessmen from Xinzhou to the palace, and asked everyone to donate money and food to help the people survive the famine. The prince donated Most. My father was also invited to be on the list that day. When he came back, he said that King Anqing loves the people and is the blessing of Xinzhou. Later, by chance, I entered the palace and saw the prince's character very clearly. The prince could have ignored my mother's illness. , but he thought it was a little effort, so he did not hesitate to favor me. Even if he is like this to a servant, he must be kind to the common people. I am grateful to the prince. I sincerely hope that he can become a generation of Mingjun, He Qinghaiyan, and the world is peaceful No longer let Zhang Guoshi and Zuoxiang people control the government, and there should be no more unjust cases like Sister Su. So I am willing to do what I can for the prince as Suzaku, not only for promises, not only for repayment, but also for Myself, because I am also a citizen of Daliang, I also hope to have a Mingjun."

Shang Yu stared at her blankly, feeling that she seemed to have matured all of a sudden, she had never said so many words or expressed so many thoughts to him.

She paused and then said: "The most important thing is, I also hope to have the opportunity to avenge my brother with my own hands." The door was ajar, she knew that Pei Yunkuang could hear what she said just now, and let him know that she loved him It's just Jing Mu. From then on, the two of them are just master and servant. She will look at his country, but she doesn't stand side by side with him, she just admires him from a distance.

He looked straight at her, and she began to blush again. She lowered her eyes and said softly: "I know you care about me very much. The prince has sent secret guards here. You can rest assured. The prince is right. You have not achieved a major event, and other things should be put aside first. And I have not revenged my family, and I have no intention of talking about other things. What's more, my marriage depends entirely on my mother. "

Shang Yu looked at her, secretly having a headache, and her stubbornness came up again.However, I felt a little relieved, that is, she was only Jingmu to the prince.

Jingmu and Aimu are far apart, and Jingmu and staying together have nothing to do with each other.

He smiled: "Well, since you don't want to go to my place, I'll come and see you every day, okay?"

She blushed again, and he kept interrupting her when she was talking about serious matters.Didn't he hear that she had refused.

She bowed her head and said: "Don't come, if there is a destiny, we will continue in the future." Is this tactful enough?
He looked at her with a smile: "That won't work, what will be the future?"

"Someday" is actually just perfunctory, how to say clearly is that day.So, without continuing, she just said: "You go quickly."

He couldn't be fooled, he folded his arms and said, "That won't work, I'll leave after you make it clear."

When she was anxious, her face started to heat up, and when he was obsessed with him, she had no choice but to reprimand her, and she couldn't be cruel enough to turn her face.He is her senior brother, she used to respect him, but now she is very moved, so she tactfully said the truth for a long time, hoping that he would put the big things first and stop looking for her, but he didn't seem to understand anything, or Do you pretend you understand?

She was very short-tempered, and said in a low voice, "Don't force me."

Her refusals, those high-sounding great achievements, he was as clear as a mirror in his heart, he was noncommittal, pretending that he didn't understand, but in fact he didn't take it seriously.If a little woman can drag him down to achieve great things, then he is too good.He is very confident in himself, and he will not stop doing what he should do and who he wants.

He thought for a while, and suddenly smiled: "By the way, you said that your marriage is entirely up to your mother. Do you want me to go to your mother to propose marriage?"

Of course she didn't mean that, and hurriedly denied: "No!"

He smiled and said, "Don't be embarrassed, I understand. I will write to Uncle Seven tomorrow."

"Shang Yu, you!" He was deliberately misinterpreting her meaning.

His expression was teasing: "Your mother must be very happy, because I will definitely not resign."

She was in a hurry: "You!" It wasn't because of him that he got divorced for the second time, but he had the nerve to mention it.She stared at him, but without temper.She was very annoyed, saying that her mother was in charge of her marriage was an excuse, and she didn't want to be caught by him, but it seemed to show him the way.She began to worry, would her mother agree?She was annoyed secretly, why did she seem to have set herself up.

He didn't give her a chance to refute anymore, he opened the door with a smile, and walked to the corridor.

Pei Yunkuang kept standing there without moving.

He could hear her words and his words clearly.She said no to anyone.But Shang Yu's domineering attitude made him seem to see that she had no strength to refuse. For the first time, he felt that Shang Yu looked like a Cang Qiao.

When he returns to Cangqiao, he will be the eagle.
