Chapter 210 (1/2)
”What did you say to concubine Qi?” Jiang Jinwen tried her best to lower her voice, but she couldn't hide the sullen look between her eyebrows and eyes. ”Everything between us has passed, and she likes you.”
”I know she likes me. All her thoughts are on the bright side. I know at a glance.” Meng Yuanzhen's eyes are filled with suppressed tenderness, ”what about you? What are you thinking? I can't understand.”
”You don't have to understand what I'm thinking. I'm minjieyu now.” Jiang Jinwen looked at him angrily. ”You are good to her. She is sincere to you.”
Meng Yuanzhen smiled. His eyes became deeper and deeper. ”You mean you have become minjieyu and the emperor's woman. So you have to push other women to me. You think too much of me.”
”I don't want to push her to you,” Jiang Jinwen sighed. ”I just want you to stop fantasizing. Cherish the woman you really like.”
Meng Yuanzhen bent his lips and sneered, ”I don't like Zhuang Youyi. Aren't you very smart? Why can't you even see this.”
”If you don't like it, you should tell her clearly,” Jiang Jinwen bit her lower lip. ”I can't see what you are like. If you don't like it, you don't like it. There's no one else here. It's better to seal the secret road.”
”Don't seal it.” Meng Yuanzhen squeezed out three words from his teeth and snorted coldly, ”don't seal it.”
Jiang Jinwen looked at him strangely, ”aren't you waiting for someone, so nervous.”
Meng Yuanzhen lowered his head close to her face and said gnashing his teeth, ”you don't know who I'm waiting for. Do you think I'm paying for you?”
Jiang Jinwen retreated a few steps by his sudden sense of oppression, raised her head and said, ”I told you not to think about it. Our engagement has long ended. What are you still thinking about? I'm min Jieyu now.”
Meng Yuanzhen was stunned for a while and smiled, ”don't mention your Jieyu. Zhuang Youyi told me that the emperor has never been to you at all. What kind of Jieyu are you, but the emperor wants to take advantage of Lord Jiang's relationship.”
”Don't worry,” Jiang Jinwen glared at him. ”You ask me what I do. You, who are locked up in the palace, just take care of yourself.”
”I'm about to come out,” Meng Yuanzhen slowly turned around her. ”Under the above edict, I'm no longer a prisoner in the house.”
Jiang Jinwen was stunned and said in a deep voice, ”Why were you released?”
”Lord Jiang and general Zhuang helped,” Meng Yuanzhen smiled with a smile. ”I thank the two old ministers very much.”
Jiang Jinwen took a deep breath, ”then I'll congratulate you.”
”I also thanked Zhuang Youyi and told her...” Meng Yuanzhen looked into her eyes as if she had made up her mind. ”I only love you in my life.”
Jiang Jinwen was forced to refuse by his burning eyes, so she had to lower her head and say in a deep voice: ”but I... I have entered the palace.”
”I don't care,” Meng Yuanzhen held her shoulder. ”Would you like to go with me through the secret road?”
Jiang Jinwen was stiff, shook her head and said, ”it's impossible. This is the crime of bullying the king. Do you want to be locked up in the palace again?”
”We walked away quietly, so that no one knew where we had gone.”
”You think too much. Is it the royal land in the world? I've entered the palace. Where else can I go?” Jiang Jinwen looked away distraught. ”You take good care of yourself. I'm going up. Princess Qi is still waiting for me.”
Meng Yuanzhen's eyes were like two secluded wells, reflecting an elusive light. He was silent for a long time and sighed, ”OK, but I won't give up. I'll wait for you.”
”You are really...” Jiang Jinwen really didn't know what to say to deal with the deep feeling in his eyes. Finally, she turned around, ”you cherish it without authorization. I'll go first.”
Zhuang Youyi watched her climb up from the secret road and said faintly, ”you've been there for a long time. I thought you wouldn't come up today.”
Jiang Jinwen forced out a smile, ”how can I not come up? I may not live in the secret road.”
”That's not necessarily,” Zhuang Youyi lowered her eyes. ”Did he tell you that the emperor lifted his house arrest?”
”Already said, congratulations on his freedom,” Jiang Jinwen sighed. ”Between him and you...”
”Nothing will happen between him and me,” Zhuang Youyi pursed her lips. ”You are the only one in his heart. He and I made it very clear that my fantasy has been shattered from outside the palace to inside the palace, but it is impossible for you and him, but there are only three sad people left.”
”Sad man,” Jiang Jinwen was stunned and looked at her incredulously, ”what do you mean by this?”
”I don't have to explain,” Zhuang Youyi glanced at her obliquely. ”You've been emphasizing that it's impossible for yourself and him. You're already the emperor's woman and have nothing to do with him, but you never said you didn't like him.”
Jiang Jinwen's eyes darkened and smiled softly, ”what's the use of saying these?”
”You like him, so you can't hide this feeling,” Zhuang Youyi sighed. ”If you haven't entered the palace when he is released, will you reach an engagement with him again?”
Jiang Jinwen bit her lip and said, ”your assumption is untenable. I'm already in the palace now.”
Zhuang Youyi looked at her faintly, ”so do you still like him?”
