"Come with me to a place." Sima Rong said to Su Yahui, his tone a little gentler, "so that you don't feel bored in this mansion!"
Su Yahui agreed softly and did not dare to ask where they were going. Although she saw the carriage taking them to a place she would never have imagined, all the questions were blocked in her throat.
"Talk to me about Yi'er." Sima Rong said gently, "Tell me about that time you came to the palace, that time you accompanied Yi'er to the palace and I pushed Yi'er into the lotus pond. You guys
Everything before and after coming.”
Su Yahui was slightly startled and looked at Sima Rong in astonishment, not knowing what to say.
"Don't worry, I want to listen to everything, including Yi'er's attitude at that time, good and bad." Sima Rong said gently, thinking lightly in his heart: From that moment on, Yi'er, her
It has become an indelible trace in my heart. "I don't want you to use any words to sugarcoat the process. I know Yi'er's words and deeds well. I only want the real situation."
"She, she -" Su Yahui said softly and hesitantly, "She is just a little willful and has no other intentions. She just said when she woke up that she wanted to give up her engagement with you. In fact, you
I also know that the marriage contract between you and Yi'er was deliberately made by my uncle and aunt. The emperor just said casually that you really didn't care about Yi'er at that time, so she had this idea. Don't blame her."
Sima Rong nodded and said calmly: "I know this. In fact, there was no marriage contract between me and Yi'er. The so-called marriage contract at that time was just to ensure Cong Xiai's identity. Now she has become my crown princess.
, there are some things that no longer need to be concealed. At that time, my father did not agree at all to let Yi'er marry into the second prince's house. - Well, it's okay not to mention some things. If you mention them, you will feel frightened. It is normal for her to avoid me.
I can’t blame her for her behavior.”
Su Yahui felt a little sour in her heart. Didn't Sima Rong originally hate Cong Yi'er the most? Why did he suddenly become so attached to her? The tenderness in his eyes made her heart aching.
Sima Rong still smiled and walked towards the prison with Su Yahui with a look of memories on his face. He said lightly: "I can still see her standing in the lotus pond and looking at me stubbornly in my memories from time to time.
The look and expression on her face when she said she was afraid to give up her engagement with me, her clear eyes, will be a pain for me for the rest of my life! If I am willing to take a serious look at her, maybe everything will change. Did she tell you?
Have you ever woken me up?"
Su Yahui followed Sima Rong in confusion. She married into the second prince's house yesterday. The second prince was drunk in the bridal chamber that night. He hugged her and called "Yi'er"'s name. She was completely puzzled.
, now, when Sima Rong was talking to her about Cong Yi'er like this, she vaguely felt that something was wrong, but she didn't know what was wrong. What did he bring her here for? Could it be that she had done something wrong?
What's wrong? This is the place where relatives of the emperor who have made mistakes in the palace are imprisoned. Why did the second prince bring her here? "I often hear Yi'er mention you. In fact, you are the one she talks about most.
"
Sima Rong felt a pain in his heart and let out a long sigh.
When Lu Xiufen saw Sima Rong coming here, she immediately stepped forward to greet him and bowed respectfully.
"Is the place where Yi'er lived well taken care of?" Sima Rong asked softly, having seen the cell where Cong Yi'er lived from a distance, Sima Rong's heart beat so fast that he couldn't control it.
Lu Xiufen lowered her head and said softly: "Prince Xuan has already given instructions to guard him well and not let anyone in. The cell door has been locked. Except for daily cleaning, no one has entered. The second prince
, do you have any instructions?"
Sima Rong smiled bitterly and said softly: "I can't give you any orders. Uncle Huang does everything before me. No wonder Yier is attracted to him. He opened the cell door. I want to go in and stay for a while."
Lu Xiufen did not object, took the key, went to open the door, and said softly: "Prince Xuan has given instructions that the Second Prince may come here to have a look in the next few days. He also told me not to refuse you, and said that you will understand on your own."
Be careful not to damage anything. But Prince Xuan also told you not to let the second prince stay too long. There are some things that you have to miss if you miss them. You can't let them go, and you will only harm innocent people."
Sima Rong didn't say anything. He stepped into the cell and looked at the colorful walls. He actually shed tears. Yi'er, Yi'er, he cried out in his heart, is there anyone who can talk to me about you? Now he can hear it from other people's mouths.
Your words once were also a comfort.
"Ya Hui, come and sit here." Sima Rong said in a calm voice, "How does she talk about me? I really want to know now. Just speak slowly and I won't be annoyed."
Su Yahui didn't know how to speak. What happened to Sima Rong? Why did he suddenly value Cong Yi'er who he had always ignored so much?
"She will talk about you at any time, but she doesn't have many opportunities to see you. Every time she meets you, she will be mentioned countless times by Yi'er, and she will tell the people around her over and over again." Su Yahui's soft voice revealed.
There was a trace of hesitation, trying to make her speech less confident. She really couldn't guess what Sima Rong was thinking. She was afraid that she would say the wrong thing and cause unnecessary trouble. "The ones I heard the most were you and
The scene when she first met. She said that at that time she was just a ten-year-old girl and didn’t understand anything. That year she fell ill and was lost alone. She didn’t know how to return to Prince Cong’s Mansion. At that time
, you went hunting with your father and Prince Xuan, you gave her a coat and saved her life, and you also smiled at her, she said that smile was the gentlest smile she had ever seen in her life, which made her
Suddenly I feel that this world is so beautiful——"
Sima Rong suddenly became distracted. Su Yahui's words suddenly reminded him of some old things that had been blurred, and some details had faded away from a memory that was completely out of his memory.
In the winter of that year, he had accompanied his father and his uncle to go hunting together. In the heavy snow, no one saw the little girl in the snow.
However, the emperor's uncle saw at a glance the little girl's long black hair fluttering in the wind in the heavy snow, and also saw a hungry wild wolf suddenly appearing behind the little girl, and suddenly
The arrow shot and saved the life of the little girl. He went to check on the shot wolf and found a little girl there. When he came back, he told his uncle about it, but he smiled at the little girl at that time.
It's not that I care, I just feel a little strange, how come there is a living person in such a cold wilderness?!
That little girl turned out to be Cong Yi'er today?! His completely unintentional smile at that time actually made Cong Yi'er fall in love with him for so long! He suddenly felt inexplicably moved in his heart, and he became a little stupid.
However, does Cong Yier know that it was Sima Yixuan who really saved her, not him? Does she know that the clothes he gave her at that time belonged to Sima Yixuan? Also, she knew that it was Sima Yixuan who sent her after she was unconscious.
Someone rescued her and sent her to a royal temple near the hunting ground, where the people in the temple lit a fire to keep her warm and took care of her until she woke up again?
At that time, he still laughed at the emperor's uncle looking for trouble for saving such a little girl. He only remembered that the emperor's uncle said casually, "It's strange. I felt from the bottom of my heart that if I didn't save her, I would regret it for the rest of my life. It was just a small effort.
If you can do it, do it, why not."
Sima Yixuan saved the person he planned to spend the rest of his life with, but he respectfully gave up Cong Yier! Sima Rong really had no other choice but to smile bitterly at this time.
