Chapter 196 Your Choice
Xia Chu seemed to remember it.On that night when the stars were thick and the moon was like a hook, the fragments of memory were blurred, but he still vaguely remembered his gaze.

He said, "Are you tempted?"

Did you say something at that time?did somethingAre you... tempted?

And now it seems unnecessary to go back to the memory of that time, under the clear sky, in the gentle mountain wind, every word of his is so clearly knocked on my heart.

This is the first time she has encountered a face-to-face confession, the first time someone has said to her clearly and seriously: I like you.And she was at a loss.

Her feelings for Jiang Xiyuan were hazy and vague, ever since she guessed that Jiang Xiyuan was interested in her, she hadn't defined it clearly.That seems to be different from the clear liking for Mr. Huang, but also different from the clear calmness towards Liu Qichangqing.

Interested?She quietly climbed her lapel with her hand, her heart beat irregularly under her fingertips, she didn't know if that was her heartbeat?

After Jiang Xiyuan said what he wanted to say, he relaxed a little, picked up a teacup to moisten his dry throat due to nervousness, and couldn't help laughing to himself that there would be a day like this when he would be nervous because of complaining.

Xia Chu raised his eyes to look at him quietly, met his gaze and avoided it in a panic, staring at a clump of wild flowers blooming just beside him, "My lord...you, didn't you say that you were not..."

"Isn't it broken sleeves?" Seeing Xia Chu nodding, Jiang Xiyuan laughed, with his usual bright look, "Yeah, that's why I was in great pain for a while, otherwise why would I go to Zhiyilou?" He patted He touched the table, shook his head and sighed, "It's okay to be stupid. Being hugged by a man, the roots of my hair will explode."

Xia Chu sneaked a glance at him, seeing his disgusted expression on the unbearable past, couldn't help laughing, quickly covered his mouth, and blushed a little embarrassedly.

Jiang Xiyuan said it easily now, but in a different place, Xia Chu could still think of the pain in his heart at that time.After a moment of silence, he no longer felt that there was anything ridiculous, and murmured sorry to him.

"I want to say I'm sorry." Jiang Xiyuan smiled softly, "Tell me, is it good for you to hide it, or not? If it's good, how could I be attracted to it, and why does the emperor never forget you? If it's not good , how could I think that I had broken my sleeves, and how could the emperor want to part with you?"

Xia Chu lowered his head, thinking of Su Zhen's farewell to him, he still felt a dull pain in his heart.It was my own fault, causing these entanglements by mistake, and now it seems that it is really hurting others and hurting myself.But what can she do back in time?She still can't let go of the temptation of her dream, and she will probably still dress up as a man to do this headhunter.

It was too late to say anything, and I owed so much to others in a daze.She didn't know whether she was a failure or a success as a woman, let alone whether she was a failure or a success as a man.

It's really a mess, I can't untie it, and it's thrown to the present.

"You are so hateful." Jiang Xiyuan said: "Fortunately, I saw that painting, otherwise I wouldn't know what I would be like now. Maybe I would follow the family's arrangement to marry a wife in despair, and then I would see you every day. Pretending to be There is nothing wrong with you, very close, but it is impossible to get closer, there is no hope. Thinking about it makes me feel suffocated."

"So..." He sighed slowly, "I can also understand his pain."

"emperor?"

"Your Majesty." He nodded, "I saw that pendant, and I broke out in a cold sweat after trying to figure out the joints. I think what should I do? What should I do to prevent the Emperor from seeing you again, and to prevent him from seeing you again?" Knowing that you are a woman, how can I safely keep you by my side."

"That's why you just told me this today, my lord?"

But Jiang Xiyuan shook his head, "If that's the case, I will keep everything from you, and then I will find a way to transfer you away from Xijing, so that you will never see each other again in this life. I can try my best to touch your heart and get you You man. I really thought so."

Xia Chu pressed his heart to hold his emotions, "Then why did your lord change his mind again?"

"I changed my mind many times." Jiang Xiyuan bent his lips and smiled, staring at her for a moment and said: "But after all, it was all my idea. I thought about it until Tianguang realized that my own thoughts are not that important. Because I No matter how you think about it, it is actually just a means, and it will be a selfish result.”

"I don't quite understand."

Jiang Xiyuan fell silent, his throat moved slightly, and he seemed to muster up his strength after a long time, and asked, "Xia Chu, do you want to enter the palace?"

Xia Chu was startled, frowned before he knew it, and with an undetectable coldness in his voice, he said with a low smile, "So, after you said these words, my lord, you ended up wanting to send me into the palace. ? Afraid that the emperor will be annoyed in the future and can't bear the consequences and ruin his own future?"

She turned her head, she couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, she felt as if she had been tricked by him, a little annoyed and a little bitter.

Jiang Xiyuan laughed in frustration, "Then wouldn't it be cheaper for me to bring you into the palace now, not only will it not annoy the emperor, but it will be of merit."

Xia Chu raised his eyes and looked at him, "What exactly does your lord mean by that?"

"I just want to give you a choice, when you can choose." He looked at Xia Chu, and said in a low voice: "I will tell you everything, including the emperor, including myself. In fact, I am very embarrassed , I'm very reluctant, but I'm even more afraid that you will regret it. I don't think I should have made this choice for you, and I'm afraid that one day you will know about it and say 'if only'."

"I know you like him. If you are willing..., I can take you to see him, even if I don't want to. But if you don't want to enter the palace, I will protect your freedom even if I do everything. At the beginning of Xia, feelings It's not an either-or choice, I just hope you can have the happiness of following your heart."

After Jiang Xiyuan finished speaking, he felt that some strength was taken from his body, and he leaned on the back of the chair, "I'm here to make a promise to you. I like you, no matter the past or the future, no matter what the result is, I don't regret it. What I want is not Your response is just an opportunity to enter your heart, but whether you give it or not is up to you. There is only so much I can think of and do.”

Xia Chu's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his head to look at Jiang Xiyuan, and his heart, which had been beating steadily just now, bumped again.She didn't expect Jiang Xiyuan to say such a thing. After spreading out her thoughts and confessing her thoughts, she handed everything over to her, gave her a promise, and gave her the freedom to choose, but gave herself Cut off the retreat. "My lord..." Xia Chu wiped his eyes quietly, and suddenly smiled, "My lord, you are not only ghostly, but also really confident."

"Huh?" Jiang Xiyuan raised his eyebrows and looked at her inexplicably, "Why doesn't it sound like a good word."

"You know that I will not enter the palace, but you still say such words to move me."

Jiang Xiyuan opened his mouth dumbly, sat up straight forward, and said dumbfoundedly: "How would I know."

"I've said it before." Xia Chu raised his head and glanced at him, "The palace is too dangerous to live in."

Jiang Xiyuan stared at her for a while, lowered his eyes and said slowly: "You said it, but it's often hard to help. I also knew that I shouldn't fall in love with a 'man', but I couldn't help it; I also know that if you are ruthless I will give up, but I can't help it. If you don't love me, I will try my best to make you fall in love with me, even if there is a glimmer of hope. I'm afraid, you think so too. "

Xia Chu blushed again at his frank love words.She turned her head and looked at Xijing City in the distance, and at the blurred imperial city in the north of the city, "If you can't help it, then the pendant is not a souvenir of parting, but a token of love." Bar."

"Have you figured it out?" Jiang Xiyuan's heart tightened suddenly, and he couldn't help asking.

Xia Chu shook his head, "I haven't thought about it. Actually... there is nothing to think about."

Jiang Xiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, nodded, "Then you wait for me."

"Waiting for you?" Xia Chu looked at him in a daze, "What are you going to do, my lord?"

Jiang Xiyuan smiled brightly, "Wait until I pursue you. After you fall in love with me, wait until I marry you."

Xia Chu's face was instantly reddened by these words, and he pressed the back of his hand to his face to cool himself down, and stomped his feet, "Whatever..., my lord, you are so confident! You, you... just speak normally. Will it!"

"Okay, okay, let's talk about this, I don't want to say anything." Jiang Xiyuan laughed, the haze in his heart disappeared, he pulled the plate and began to peel the peanuts seriously.

Xia Chu had no temper at all, covered his face and frowned and secretly looked at him, thinking to himself, after so long, he finally saw the true face of this famous romantic man in Xijing.If he followed this path, he would die of cerebral hemorrhage.

It took a while for Chu Xia to calm down, and his complexion returned to normal.Jiang Xiyuan picked up a peeled peanut, pulled Xia Chu's hand and put it in her palm, "If you want to be a headhunter, then continue to do it, and if you want to investigate the case, then continue to investigate. When you get tired and bored, tell me .”

Xia Chu pulled the peanut in his hand, thinking that Jiang Xiyuan would leave the government office soon, he became irritable, "I don't know what the government office will look like in the future, maybe before I get bored, others will bother me."

"That's good." Jiang Xiyuan smiled slyly, "I knew I shouldn't have told Yao Zhiyuan to take care of you more, but I should have let him be more vicious and throw you out."

"Hey?"

"Tsk. I like your downcast look." Jiang Xiyuan rubbed his chin, smacked and said, "You look like a girl, weak and helpless, with teary eyes, leaning against my arms."

Chu Xia threw the peanut at him, feeling ashamed and annoyed, "My lord, be more serious!"

"Seriously?" Jiang Xiyuan nodded seriously, and smiled at her: "Then I never want to see you cry again. If you cry, I am more helpless than you."

Xia Chu blushed again, she stood up frantically, turned around and left.Jiang Xiyuan took out a piece of broken silver and threw it on the table and chased after him, and said with a smile, "Chu'er..."

Xia Chu was trembling all over, stood still and stared at him with a blushing face, gritted his teeth and said, "My lord, you..."

"Ok?"

"To shut up!"
