Chapter 91 (2/2)
He did not know why Sangsang was so stubborn on this issue, and he said seriously, ”If Her Highness isn't a nice person, then why did she go to the gra.s.sland and why was she so good to Xiaoman?”
Ning Que looked at her quietly and suddenly said, ”If she is a good person, then why did she go to the gra.s.sland and Why was she be so good to Xiaoman? I don't think all the stepmothers over the world are bad guys, but I have also never seen a stepmother who regards Xiaoman's life more important than hers.”
For the same questions, Sangsang seemed to prove that Her Highness was a good person, while Ning Que made it the opposite one. She was wondering what he wanted to say, looking at him in confusion.
At this moment, the light rain began to drift from the sky over Chang'an city in deep spring. Ning Que took off the big black umbrella from her back and opened it. Continuing moving forward, he then said, ”Things're often evil when they're abnormal. His Highness' stepmother is so young, maternal proliferation? It seems that's too early for her. I think this's empathy. She was transferring her love for Chanyu to the boy... In this case, how sorry she feels for Chanyu who rests in the gra.s.sland.”
”Only military forces in borders like us know what a great master Chanyu is. However why was such a superior man murdered and usurped unexpectedly by his idiot younger brother?”
”Young master, what on earth do you want to say?”
”What I want to say is Her Highness will feel regret all her life, because Chanyu should be the one who really loves her, the only one who dares to love her sincerely.”
”I don't understand.”
”Nothing.”
Sangsang kept silent for a long time, and suddenly spoke, ”Do you think it is the princess who killed Chanyu?”
”It seems that your foolishness in general life is an excuse for laziness.” Ning Que answered indirectly.
Sangsang lowered her head, walking under the black umbrella with her little fist slightly clenching, and said, ”The evidence?”
”There are lots of things in this world that don't need evidence.”
Ning Que watched the light drizzle outside the umbrella, and said, ” She could not only resolve the attack from some villains in the Empire but also gain the mercy from his Majesty by showing weakness in the battle with Her Majesty. What's more, she could win the respect from citizens of the Tang Empire and even develop her own strengths in the gra.s.sland. Yet it's impossible for her to stay in the gra.s.sland forever, since His Majesty is getting older and the person succeeding to the throne needs to be confirmed as soon as possible. There's only one way to come back as a woman deeply loved by Chanyu.”
Sangsang whispered lowering her head , ”But Her Highness was only twelve or three years old when she decided to leave for the gra.s.sland.”
”I've already begun to kill Horse Gangs at the age of twelve or three. A person's ability is not necessarily proportional to his age.” Ning Que held the big black umbrella and gradually speeded up, and then said shaking his head, ”What I said is only the reason why Her Highness might do so and get benefits. But in my opinion, the best proof of the matter is the words I've said earlier.”
”We all know how great Chanyu is though he died young. Such a great man is hard to be killed. Unless the murderer is the one whom he trusted most.”
Sangsang bowed his head with her lips curled, and then softly muttered, ”Anyway, this's your guess, young master.”
”I too wish the speculation is wrong and that this world is full of fairy tales in which the prince and the princess finally live a happy life forever. But you see... the prince in the gra.s.sland died and the princess came back home,” replied Ning Que.
Sangsang looked up and a drop of rain fell off from her dark black cheeks. She looked at him angrily and asked, ”Young master, why's the world so dark in your eyes?”
Ning Que stopped and watched her wordlessly. A good while later he said in a cold voice, ”Because the world that I've seen is so dark, since the time when I survived and picked you back from the dead bodies by the roadside.”
With these words, he also felt he was not on his best behavior. He walked angrily towards the street. He was wondering whether the shadow cast by the old library of the Academy on his spirit or the impending murder made the rain outside the big black umbrella seem not that fresh, but a bit dull.
Sangsang stood in the rain watching his back, and suddenly hurried to catch him up with the big black umbrella. She then reached her hand to seize his sleeves hanging down from his right hand, and never let it go.
Under the big black umbrella was heard the conversation between the master and the maid from time to time.
”I thought you might name Her Highness an idiot.”
”You should feel all kinds of things except for emotion, since it will finally hurt others and yourself. In this case, she is really an idiot.”
”Why didn't you scold her that just now?”
”I will curse fewer the two words, because those emotional idiots... All are poor ah.”
