away from the heart

Chapter 174 Mr. Guan Shan 2
After an unknown amount of time, a woman's weeping could be heard faintly in my ear.Xue Yao came back to his senses and saw Tao Yao came in at some point, sorted out the scattered letters on the ground, and was kneeling in front of the desk, tears streaming down his face.Xue Yao barely recovered his voice, hoarse and bitter: "You knew this early on? It's written in this letter, but it's true?"

Tao Yao nodded: "Yes, I already knew what Commander Xue was thinking. At first, I thought he was looking at me, but later I realized that the only thing he saw was the princess. The princess never noticed it. Commander Xue, he said he didn't want the princess to know his intentions, so I didn't tell anyone. He has his secret, and my secret...is him."

"Then do you know... what happened in the Yinghua Palace that day?"

Tao Yao closed her eyes in pain: "I don't know... I only know that Commander Xue once told me that someone in the palace was against the princess, and he was going to the Yinghua Palace to investigate. After two days, I heard People said that the Yinghua Palace was flooded. When I rushed over... I only saw a body that had been burned beyond recognition, and everyone said that he was buried in the sea of ​​fire to save the royal tablet."

Everything is true and there is no turning back.The elder brother's death was not for Concubine Yun, he put it on top of his heart, and the person he was willing to sacrifice his life for was actually the same person he loved.Because the elder brother saved Chuyue, he became the assassin's thorn in the flesh; he knew that the Yinghua Palace was a grand feast, but he still chose to risk himself, and eventually died.Brother, he... died for Chuyue.

Too many emotions churned in his belly, driving him to go crazy.Xue Yao snatched the letter from Tao Yao's hand and rushed out the door.

The sun was setting, and the appointed hour had already passed.Chuyue had already put on Fengguan Xiapei, but Xue Yao hadn't been seen for a long time, and was anxiously waiting, Tao Yao suddenly barged in: "Princess...you come with me."

Chuyue casually put on an outer garment, and followed Tao Yao all the way to a restaurant.The phoenix crown on her head and the wedding dress exposed under her outer skirt attracted the attention of passers-by, but Chuyue had no time to pay attention.She broke into the door and saw that Xue Yao was alone in the private room, already drunk, lying on the table unconscious.

Chuyue was heartbroken and angry, and with great effort, she helped Xue Yao to the side and lay down.Xue Yao's face was flushed, his brows were tightly knit, and his forehead was full of sweat.She twisted a veil, wiped his sweat for him, and muttered: "You man! You said you were going to get married again, but you got drunk like this behind my back. Don't you know how worried I am? I thought you were going back on your word again. This time I will definitely not forgive you easily!"

Feeling the coolness on his forehead, Xue Yao woke up and turned around.He drank too much wine, the wine was so bitter, but he kept pouring it down, just wanting to quickly numb himself and forget the facts that hurt his heart just by thinking about it.For a brief moment he literally forgot all of it.He opened his eyes, and what was in front of him was the person he had been thinking about day and night.He reached out, grabbed her wrist, and softly called her name: "Chuyue..."

He was so drunk that he just grabbed his hand and grinned like a child.Chuyue's whole heart softened: "Is it better, is it still uncomfortable?"

Chuyue asks Tao Yao to help Xue Yao up.Ask the shopkeeper, "Do you have a guest room here?"
