Chapter 419
No, as long as she wants, being a queen is just a trivial matter! He looked at Gala's smile, but he didn't know that the sadness was hidden behind it. It took him a long time... He hugged Gala and hugged it heavily, and the strength was as if he wanted to integrate Gala into his body.
Yang Jian hugged Gala tightly, and Gala almost couldn't breathe. No matter how hard his hands struggled, it seemed to have no effect. He had no choice but to let him hold her until he let her go...
He looked at her, delighted and excited, with an enviable glow in his eyebrows. Now he is just enjoying the happiness that an ordinary person deserves as an ordinary person.
But he forgot that there was no ordinary existence in this happiness.
He is an emperor, and what he should have undertaken, responsible, and responsible far exceeds everyone, so what he can do is not just for one person.
And she had long recognized her life, a life without a future, and she was infected with a poison that was even more poisonous than poppy, and she was deeply trapped in the mud and could not extricate herself until she was destroyed.
How could she let him continue to hold Tang Mennian if she doesn't love him? Even though she is ruthless and decisive, she can only cut off the unbearable bond in a short pain.
"I am your concubine... purely, purely just to protect myself." She said softly, Yang Jian could hardly hear clearly, but why was her pronunciation so clear? Such a temptation? He could not miss any word?
Yang Jian's body was obviously stunned. He stood there inexplicably. The smile stopped beside his mouth and melted for a long time...
Gala took a deep breath, deliberately avoided Yang Jian's eyes, and his body turned away a little stiffly. In an instant... the whole room was as quiet as a cellar. When she closed her eyes, she made up her mind and said, "You also know... the palace is full of dangers. If there is no identity here, any person may take my life. I can't... hide behind you forever."
"But I can stand in front of you, I can protect you." Yang Jian said excitedly.
Gala smiled sarcastically, but not laughed at Yang Jian, but laughed at himself, "You are the emperor. There are more than one woman, and there are more than a million women who can hide behind you?"
"But I just want to protect you! I did spoil them before I met you, and I was passionate and happy, but that was just a play played in the palace. Now for you, I am willing to dismiss everyone in the harem, leaving you alone!" Yang Jian tightly held Gala's shoulders, his eyes sincere and urgent. Gala frowned and retreated far away. "You can't change anything if you do this. You know, I don't love you at all."
I don't love you at all...
Don't love you...
Love?! Maybe it has never existed, maybe it has never disappeared, but in his eyes, it seems that it can never be perfected.
He retreated backwards decadently and powerlessly, his steps were bumpy. He finally couldn't get her heart...
"What's the matter if you don't love me? I've known it in my heart. I really envy Li Bing. What he did to make you so desperate." He lowered his eyes and smiled awkwardly...
"Who knows? Maybe he did not do much for me as you can give up, but loving someone is unexplainable. No matter what he has done, even if he is unforgivable, falling in love with it will be a lifelong thing. Even if he wants to change, his mind will not be as good as his wish." She also laughed, but she smiled sadly...
Yang Jian looked at Gala's mouths opening and closing. She was right. Falling in love is a lifelong thing, and so is he. No matter how much he forgets, he can't forget. Why should he force her to do things he can't do?
"Okay! I promise you that as long as you are happy, I promise everything. I will find someone to arrange it now. Even if I am a concubine, I will hold a grand ceremony for you in a grand manner." Yang Jian smiled, but his heart hurt...
What does this matter? He doesn't care. As long as his Gala feels good, he can tolerate it no matter what.
Yang Jian's appearance made Gala feel heartbroken. Seeing that he turned around and was about to leave, she said, "It's a little late, I don't want to be glorious, just a royal decree is fine."
"As far as you want, I... I will send you back to Yaoguang Palace tonight." He smiled, gentle and charming, as if he had the first time to see the beauty of Garo at that time, but also had an unreachable strangeness.
Gala looked up at him. It would be fine. After saying these words today, he could no longer bear the pain and live in the same room with him.
In the evening, Gala moved back to Yaoguang Palace as planned, and he had to have a good sleep tonight...
Night - calm heart! The entire palace was shrouded in a dark golden color, quiet and sad...
No one knows what conspiracy is going on in which corner...
Mrs. Yuchi accidentally told Li Bing that Jialuo was punished by the stick. He could not resist his heart. While Mrs. Yuchi was sleeping, she put on a mask and put on a night-wearing dress and left Yingyue Palace...
Li Bing heard from Mrs. Yuchi that Jialuo lived in Yaoguang Hall. He almost ran around half of the palace with light skills. On the way, he met many night watchmen, but he was all avoided by himself until he found Yaoguang Hall...
He sneaked into Gala's inner room, and did not dare to provoke anyone.
From afar, Li Bing could hear his nervous heartbeat and Garona's steady breathing. He walked step by step to Garo's bed and took off the black cloth that covered half of his face, even though he was wearing a mask...
He looked at the person who was sleeping in bed, and he finally saw this face again. How long did it take for him to miss and expectation, but he could only see this, and he would leave soon... Maybe he could only appear here once, and before he could protect her, he could not selfishly disrupt her life.
He looked at her quietly, what was the reflective point at the corner of his eyes? Did she cry? Is the wound still hurt? Or did he have a nightmare? Li Bing's hand trembled and stroked her face. "Galao, are you doing well in this palace? You said you hate the killer. I left the Tang Sect, but I can't come to you yet. I can't bring danger to you..." Li Bing said so hard that he couldn't even hear clearly, but he couldn't control himself and couldn't help saying it.
Gala seemed to feel something while sleeping, moved uncomfortablely and turned over...
Why do you feel that Li Bing is by his side?
Gala frowned... so sleepy... Why can't he open his eyes? Did he encounter the legendary ghost pressing on the bed? No, she could feel that Li Bing was by her side, as if she could see him as soon as she opened her eyes!
Galo struggled, as if he was angry with him, as if he was fighting with him. Finally, he finally opened his eyes... but there was a hazy darkness in front of him.
Looking at the black fog in front of him, Gala slowly sat up, his forehead was covered with sweat stains, he took a deep breath, his throat was a little dry, he lifted the brocade quilt, got off the bed, sat on the chair, poured a glass of water and drank it all...
When she dreamed of Li Bing again, Gala smiled bitterly. The surroundings were so quiet that she fell asleep on the table with her hands...
Li Bing quietly walked out from behind the curtain. Seeing Gala fall asleep like this, she was very uneasy. She quietly lit Gala's sleeping hole and put her back on the bed, carefully covering her with a quilt.
It was almost dawn, and he could no longer stay here. Finally, he looked at Gala nostalgically.
When Li Bing was about to jump out of the window, he saw a small piece of emerald green thing beside Gala's pillow. He reached out to take it, holding the thing in the center of his hand, and the warmth that was indescribable. This hairpin... It turned out that Gala had always carried it. Does she have his in her heart? The smile on her lips suddenly buried the hairpin in her arms and disappeared into the darkness of the night...
That night, Gala only knew that he slept very heavily in the middle of the night, because in the morning, Hua Shang Ni Shang shouted outside the door with a wash water for a long time, but no one responded. Because he was afraid that something would happen, he broke into the door and saw only the woman who was still sleeping in the bed... The two of them were so nervous.
After Gala got up in the morning to wash and dress up, he went to the pillow to look for the hairpin, but he couldn't find it anyway. She just almost moved the bed. Her panic made Hua Shang Ni Shang stunned.
"Empress, it's just a hairpin. If you like to tell the emperor, how many have you not?" Hua Shang couldn't bear it when he saw Gala's nervous look, so he had to interrupt.
"..." Gala said nothing, and kept searching for it with all his heart.
They didn't understand that it was the only gift Li Bing gave him, but it was too late and could not be found... Gala sat on the edge of the bed in despair, as if he had lost his soul.
"Empress, are you okay? Is that hairpin that important?" Hua Shang Ni Shang and Ni Shang looked at Gala nervously, and were almost crying.
Finally, Nishang had no patience at all and said, "I go to find the emperor, and the emperor will definitely find the same one for the empress."
"No... I can't tell the emperor about this." Garo called out Ni Shang, who had just stepped out of the door. "If you lose it, you will lose it. It's no big deal. The emperor is very nervous about the affairs of the court all day long. Don't disturb him such a small matter." Garo said guiltily, and had to sit alone on the bed with heartache.
Really, if you lose it, you will lose it. If you don’t come, can you avoid what you should hide?
She smiled bitterly... just thought it was relaxed, and she could only make herself suffer from constant pain. Let him go. God let it happen, what else can change? Her nose was sour... she raised her head and endured the tears back.
Once upon a time, Gala had long forgotten that she was just a minor child. Can the time and environment really change a person so quickly? Unconsciously, she had been in ancient times for half a year, and she... was no longer the young girl she had been half a year ago.
Yang Jian did not misunderstand that he agreed to Gala's conditions, and the next day he asked someone to invite Chen Shubao, the prince of Chen, to negotiate.
Chen Shubao came to Sui this time not to join the Sui alliance, but also to spy on the national intelligence of the Sui era... Knowing that Nanliang was hostile to Sui was good and bad for Liuli. It was good that he destroyed Sui by using Nanliang's hands. Bad was afraid that Nanliang would also make Liuli's ideas, so he did not dare to use his country to make bets, so his alliance with Sui continued to be stalemate and swayed left and right.
"The emperor means... cancel the marriage?" Chen Shubao slowly put down a sip of tea and looked at Yang Jian with a shallow smile.
Yang Jian had already understood what Chen Shubao thought, but he smiled but denied it. "Of course not, but Princess Wan'an Princess Wan'an has been ill recently, but she dared not let the prince marry him. If something happens, it will be a big deal for Sui. So I think... This Sui woman is selected by the prince except for non-married women."
"Is he sick? Didn't he jump a few days ago? Is it because Princess Wan'an looked down on Liuli and was unwilling to surrender to the nobles?"
"The prince has thought too much. It is easy to get sick in autumn, and it is not as good as people wish. In addition, as long as I can do other conditions, the prince will give it anyway." Yang Jian had already done all the consequences that could be borne. If Liuli was really ungrateful, he would have broken down. After all, the current opposition between Sui and Nanliang is not a must-have. However, the peace in recent years has caused the generals to lose a lot of military practice, which is somewhat void.
"Since that's the case... the emperor said that I would choose any unmarried women in Sui?" Chen Shubao looked down at Yang Jian, with a cold look in his eyes, as if there were thousands of conditions hidden, but he could not tell anything.
This momentum made Yang Jian feel a little uncomfortable, but as soon as he said it, it was like the water splashed out, but he couldn't take it back. This was what Yang Jian promised Gala to do and naturally would not regret it.
He had to nodded with certainty.
That nod made Chen Shubao laugh loudly like a released demon. The laughter seemed to despise everything. It was obvious that Yang Jian's eyes were unhappy. He frowned tightly and said dissatisfied: "I don't know what the prince is laughing about. Are you disdainful of Sui?"
"No, no, how dare Chen Shubao underestimate the Sui Dynasty? Chen Shubao is just happy for the people he wants to get."
"Oh? Could it be that there is someone in the prince's eyes?" Yang Jian looked at Chen Shubao's eyes carefully. Did he want Mrs. Hongzheng? If he really had an ambiguous relationship with Mrs. Hongzheng, then he would not know that Mrs. Hongzheng was killed all over the family? Moreover, Mrs. Hongzheng was a concubine, and he must be a person with a engagement. What are his plans?
Chen Shubao seemed to see Yang Jian’s thoughts. He stood up, his slow steps were covered by his robe as if he was not present. When he moved to Yang Jian, he bent his waist invadingly, and raised his tempting half of his lips without hesitation and attached his mouth to Yang Jian’s ears with great provocation and whispered softly: “Do you still remember the woman who danced in the imperial garden that day? She probably has no engagement now.”
With a "boom", Yang Jian slapped the table with a palm as Chen Shubao ended his sentence.
He closed his thick lips and stared at the man in front of him with insignificance.
He was asking for Gala from himself? It was simply delusional. In that day's intimacy, Chen Shubao could not see his feelings for Gala? He was deliberately looking for trouble, or was he really trying to get his Gala? Even if he couldn't make this agreement, he could not hand over Gala to him.
Yang Jian just stared at Chen Shubao's eyes, but he didn't say anything, but the power in front of him had already shocked all the palace servants. The eunuch and palace maid knelt on the ground and refused, and even his breathing was light.
Chen Shubao chuckled indifferently, "What does the emperor mean? This is what the emperor said. Could it be that woman?"
"Gala is my woman." Yang Jian just said coldly, and the bitterness in his eyes refused to give in at all.
"Oh? Is that right? But that woman named Gala seems to have no title in the palace. Did she forget too many concubines of the emperor or did she forget it?"
"She will be my concubine."
"But at least not now. Doesn't the emperor's words count?" Chen Shubao pressed step by step, as if he wanted to challenge Yang Jian's limit.
Dugu Jialuo, he had already found someone to check this woman, he just wanted her.
It was not just the dance in the Royal Garden that day, nor her beauty that was fascinating to the whole country, but... if he wanted it, Yang Jian’s most precious thing!
"Although she has no identity now, she will be my concubine in the end. She can only be my concubine in this life. Could my woman be my prince also want it?" Yang Jian's eyes were already burning. He was enduring that this prince of Liuli is not a simple person. He cannot destroy the power he just established. It is the only thing he can defeat him now.
The king of the two countries, the war and intrigue between the two countries, he did not want her Gala to be the tool of the alliance, nor would he do so.
After a while, seeing that Yang Jian was still silent in his cold eyes, Chen Shubao also put away his smile and faced him. "Is Sui just not taking Liuli seriously? He is just a woman who has not been conferred a concubine. The emperor wanted to cut off the peace with Liuli for so many years. The emperor was determined not to alliance with Liuli. Since this is the case, why bother talking more? No matter how many conditions are discussed, it is unintentional."
"I tell you that Gala is not a concubine, and that one-sided thing is not worthy of Gala at all." Yang Jian's last sentence was almost gritted his teeth, fierce and hoarse. He did not allow anyone to look down on Gala. He was completely unable to control his thoughts, and that kind of love was fatal!
Chen Shubao said that and wanted to leave, and Yang Jian had no intention of stopping him. It would break down. The country is important, but he would not be able to do it if he wanted to give up on Gala himself! He admitted that he had no responsibility to be the emperor, and his heart had been captured by Gala for a long time and could only do it for her. Maybe he would be ashamed of the entire Sui Dynasty, but now he can only do this.
But just as Chen Shubao was about to leave the door, a heavy voice resounded throughout the hall, "Prince, stay first." Yang Jian turned to the source of the sound and saw the empress dowager standing straight outside the hall.
She had a serious expression, but completely avoided Yang Jian's eyes. "The emperor is a little confused today. The prince's conditions are no problem. In order to show sincerity, the Ai family will prepare for the prince himself." This is the best for the empress dowager. She did not have the method to get Gala out of the palace. Everything in front of her proved that the woman had already made his rational prince lose his mind, how could she keep it?
But Chen Shubao deliberately put his eyes on Yang Jian and dragged out a word: "This..."
