Chapter 179: Admit Defeat
Chapter 179: Admit Defeat
Yan Qingning felt the air suddenly turn cold, and she came back to her senses.
I could clearly see that Chu Beiqing's eyes were cold without any emotion, as cold as a thousand-year-old cold pond.
It seemed that no matter how scorching the sun was, it couldn't melt the bone-chilling coldness in his body.
He seemed to be terribly lonely in an instant...
Yan Qingning suddenly felt uncomfortable in her heart, stuffy and blocked, and she couldn't say it...
She attributed this psychological discomfort to the emotions brought about by human nature. After all, it is said that one night of love is a hundred days of grace. It is also human nature that she cannot harden her heart.
But Yan Qingning stood there without moving, which made Chu Yuanli think that she was hesitating.
"Ning'er, come here. Just consider this as your last chance and follow me. I promise that I will never let you suffer any grievance in the future..." Chu Yuanli said as if he was taking an oath, and a light of hope burst out from his eyes that were swollen into slits.
Yan Qingning was thinking about how to resolve the situation in front of her. Anyway, she didn't want to choose anyone.
But when she heard Chu Yuanli's words, she immediately got angry, "Chu Yuanli, are you sick?"
Yan Qingning was too lazy to think about it anymore. She strode towards Chu Beiqing and grabbed Chu Beiqing's clenched fist.
When he turned to face Chu Yuanli, he frowned and looked cold, almost speaking harshly, "Who wants to go with you? Why should I go with you?"
Besides, she doesn't need him if she wants to leave Prince Qing's Mansion!
Where had he gone earlier?
What he said now is adding fuel to the fire and making things worse!
made, Chu Yuanli harmed me!
Was he afraid that Chu Beiqing would misunderstand her?
The warmth in Yan Qingning's palm was immediately passed to Chu Beiqing, and he felt the warmth spread throughout his body.
It warmed his cold and silent heart. That nearly dead heart seemed to come alive in an instant and began to beat strongly in his heart...
Chu Beiqing's eyes glowed with warmth, "Aning..."
Yan Qingning squeezed his open hand vigorously, then turned around and gave him a big, bright smile.
Chu Beiqing stared at the girl in front of him in a daze.
Even many years later, he still remembered how she smiled brightly at him on the top floor of Lanchunxuan that day.
The sun was particularly bright that day.
Her skin was exceptionally white, glowing white, making him dazzled.
Her eyes seemed to be filled with the day's scorching sun, dark and bright, burning his heart.
Chu Beiqing's idea of destroying the world just now disappeared without a trace at this moment.
At this moment, Chu Beiqing wanted to hold her tightly in his arms.
Her brilliant smile was burned into his mind.
Her small action was enough to make him feel upset.
At this moment, he suddenly saw his heart clearly.
He gave in!
She had lost by cooking him slowly and capturing him before he could even come to his senses.
He confessed that he liked her.
Therefore, he was so reluctant to let her leave because he fell in love with her...
However, the scene before him deeply hurt Chu Yuanli's eyes.
He stared at the two people's clasped hands, and his slightly swollen eyes gradually turned red.
He seemed to have suffered an extremely critical blow. Unable to bear it, he took a few steps back, apparently unable to stand steadily.
He lost!
He lost to Chu Beiqing again!
why?
"Ning'er, stop making trouble..." Chu Yuanli's voice was very soft, as if she was being cautious, and as if she was begging humbly, hoping that she would not tell the answer: "Ning'er, please don't punish me like this..."
The strong light of the scorching sun made his eyes well up with tears.
"Aning, you asked me before why I came here. Maybe you don't remember this place anymore..."
The moment King Rui turned around, he staggered to the stone railing and pointed at the peach blossom tree with flying petals not far away.
"Ning'er, do you still remember that tree?"
Yan Qingning frowned slightly and tried to recall the memories left in the original owner's mind.
Before she could recall, King Rui had already given her the answer, "When you were six years old, we buried a jar of Lihuabai here together. You said that when you marry me, we would dig it out and drink it together... That jar of wine must be the clearest and sweetest in the world..."
At the end of his speech, Chu Yuanli's voice was full of bitterness and sadness.
The pain and injuries on his face were all exposed in broad daylight!
His eyes were dull, and he suddenly remembered the childish little girl who clumsily dug a hole to bury the wine many years ago. Although she was tired, sweating and panting, she did not lose heart.
She didn't even notice that her little face was covered in mud.
Only those unique eyes in the world, darker than obsidian and brighter than stars, were filled with her and his expectations.
But in his eyes it is the purest picture in the world.
Then, his body slowly fell down.
Concubine Shu, Concubine De, Princess Jiang Ying and Princess Zhenle, the granddaughter of the Grand Princess, etc.
These people took the lead and when they saw the person with blood all over his face who was unrecognizable, they all turned pale and covered their lips with their hands and exclaimed.
The interesting thing is that the first person to recognize Prince Rui was Princess Zhenle.
"Cousin Prince Rui?!" Princess Zhenle called out tentatively, and then rushed over without caring about etiquette or reserve: "Cousin Prince Rui, cousin Prince Rui?"
Prince Rui was playing the victim at this moment, so how could he respond to her?
Princess Zhenle saw that Chu Yuanli was in a very miserable state, and the words "bruised face and nose" were true.
If she didn't adore him so much, she would never have recognized that the person in front of her was Chu Yuanli.
The face that had once been so fascinating was no longer handsome at all. It was estimated that even if Prince Rui's mother, Concubine Xian, came, it would take a while for her to recognize her.
Princess Zhenle felt distressed for a moment, then suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Yan Qingning, the culprit, with a clear purpose, her eyes blazing with fire, "Yan Qingning, it's you, it's you who killed the cousin of King Rui, isn't it?
You are such a vicious woman. You are so cruel. Your cousin, the King of Rui, cares so much about you, but you just watch him being bullied like this? You are an ungrateful person..."
Although she didn't know what happened, she felt that she had definitely not wronged Yan Qingning.
Yan Qingning was clearly here, but she allowed her cousin Prince Rui to be beaten so badly. She deserves to die!
Yan Qingning's hand was still held by Chu Beiqing. She tried to pull it out several times but failed.
She didn't force it. After hearing Princess Zhenle's sudden attack on her, she was already furious and had no place to vent her anger, but Princess Zhenle still wanted to provoke her.
How could Yan Qingning indulge him? She looked at Lu Ying with the eyes of a mentally retarded person, "Are you sick? Or is there water in your head? Clear the water in your head first and then talk to me!"
Then, Yan Qingning felt angry, and then he started to speak crazily, "Are you a wild dog? Barking at random?
I harmed Chu Yuanli, did you see that? Then how could you just watch him become like this before barking?
Or were you so confused at the time that you didn't care about him or protect him?
Besides, who are you to him? On what basis are you talking nonsense in front of me?"
