Chapter 201 The calm before the storm
Chapter 201 The calm before the storm
Hua Yuchen gently lifted Luo Ying's face and carefully wiped away the tears on her face. His voice was full of warmth and affection: "You are the one I love the most. I must give you all the best things in the world!"
Luo Ying raised her tear-soaked face and looked up at him. Tears had completely blurred her vision. With a trembling voice, she asked cautiously, "If... I hurt you... can we go back?"
Hua Yuchen's heart was deeply touched by Luo Ying's words, as if a huge rock had hit his heart. He could hardly bear such a thought, and instantly felt a heartache. He hugged Luo Ying tightly in his arms, choking and saying: "No... You love me so much... How could you bear to hurt me!"
Luo Ying buried herself deeply in his arms, tears falling like beads from a broken string, unable to stop. Hua Yuchen hugged her quietly, without saying a word, letting her emotions vent in his arms.
The atmosphere around me became extremely heavy, as if there was an indescribable sense of oppression in the air. This oppression was like the silence before a storm, suffocating.
The next morning, Hua Yuchen gazed at Luo Ying in his arms. She was immersed in a sweet dream. He couldn't help but lean over and gave her a soft kiss on the forehead. Then, reluctantly, he gently placed her on the soft bed. Then, he put on his armor and quickly stepped out of the tent.
General You was surprised to see him getting up so early outside the camp, and asked in a low voice: "Your Highness, why are you getting up so early again today!"
Hua Yuchen tilted his head slightly, placed his finger on his lips, and signaled General You to lower his voice. He lowered his voice and said, "Keep your voice down. The princess is still sleeping. Let her sleep a little longer. Come with me to the military training ground. Go early so that you can come back earlier to accompany her."
After saying that, the two of them hurriedly left the tent, and their figures quickly blended into the morning mist.
After a long time, when the first ray of morning sunlight shone on Luo Ying's eyelids, Luo Ying opened her eyes, touched her side, and found that it was empty. She couldn't help but feel a little lost in her heart. She sighed softly, and her voice revealed endless melancholy: "The time we spend together is always fleeting and short."
Luo Ying dressed neatly and sat at the table in the tent, staring blankly ahead, her thoughts drifting back to the conversation the night before. She had asked Hua Yuchen anxiously, "If... I... made a mistake! Will you forgive me?"
He replied: "As long as you still love me as before!"
He remembered that she had tentatively asked him last night: "If...I hurt you...can we still go back?"
He replied: "No...you love me so much...how could you bear to hurt me!"
Thinking of this, Luo Ying's heart was shattered as if pierced by thousands of swords. Tears instantly filled her eyes. She said to herself, "You are so smart, how could you not know what I meant? You are still so calm, what are you thinking about?"
Shao Hanyue called softly outside the door, her voice full of concern and expectation: "Sister, are you awake?"
Luo Ying responded gently: "Come in!"
Shao Hanyue walked in quietly. Her eyes instantly fell on Luo Ying's face, and she saw her tearful eyes, and her heart couldn't help but throb. She asked carefully, "Sister, where did you go yesterday?"
Luo Ying came back to his senses, a smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "Third Prince, take me to the military training ground during the day to watch the military drills, and take me to the top of the mountain to watch the stars at night."
Shao Hanyue laughed jokingly upon hearing this: "Third Prince, I can't bear to leave you for even a moment. I want to tie you up by my side, and tie you up tightly!"
Luo Ying rolled his eyes at her, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said, "Don't talk nonsense. If two people stick together so closely every day, what else can they do? We have an important mission on this trip."
Shao Hanyue covered her mouth and laughed secretly. After a while, she cautiously asked, "You two spent the whole day together yesterday. You didn't let anything slip, did you?"
Hearing this, Luo Ying couldn't help but sigh deeply and shook his head helplessly: "He is so smart, he must have guessed 70% or 80% of it!"
Shao Hanyue looked at Luo Ying in horror and asked in a trembling voice, "What? He...he guessed it? Then how could he...he be so calm? And not explode?"
Luo Ying suppressed his inner anxiety and whispered, "This is exactly what I'm worried about. If he gets angry, he can just quarrel. Maybe the conflict can be explained quickly, and we can make peace when it's time to make peace, and end it when it's time to end it...it can only end!
But the less he explodes, the more I can't figure out what he's thinking. The more terrifying it becomes! The quieter it is before a storm, the higher the level of the storm, and the more terrifying its power will be! "
Shao Hanyue's eyes widened, staring at Luo Ying in horror, her voice trembling: "What do you mean by 'it's over when it's time to end'? Sister, besides falling in love with Guard Feng, what else have you done?"
Luo Ying's mind flashed with the scenes of him and Feng Yequn at the bottom of the cliff, having passionate love affairs and breaking taboos in the illusion, and he felt a pang of pain in his heart.
She lowered her head, tears glistening in her eyes, and said in a low and sad voice: "I guess we can't go back to the past!"
Shao Hanyue was even more shocked when she heard this. She asked tremblingly: "You and Feng's guards, wouldn't you..." She didn't finish her words, but her expression and tone were enough for Luo Ying to understand what she meant. Luo Ying didn't answer, and the silence seemed to be a silent acquiescence.
At this moment, Xiang Yuandai's unique and loud voice suddenly rang out from outside the door: "Let me in, I have an appointment with your Marshal Luo to discuss matters together!"
When Shao Hanyue heard this, her heart skipped a beat. She looked at Luo Ying with a nervous and puzzled look, and said with a hint of uneasiness in her voice, "Can His Royal Highness Prince Yu be involved in this matter? Is it appropriate?"
Luo Ying took a deep breath, trying to suppress the waves in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "He is an experienced person, maybe he can give some guidance!"
After saying that, she raised her voice and ordered to the outside of the door: "Qingxiu, let him in!" There was an unquestionable firmness in her voice.
Xiang Yuandai strode into the room and quickly noticed the heavy gloom on Luo Ying and Shao Hanyue's faces. He approached Luo Ying cautiously and asked tentatively, "You were missing for the whole day yesterday. I thought you let the cat out of the bag and he found out. With his hot temper, he killed you right away!"
When Shao Hanyue heard this, she flew into a rage and yelled at Xiang Yuandai: "Pooh! Pooh! Pooh! Can't you say something nice?"
Xiang Yuandai was embarrassed by Shao Hanyue's yelling. He touched his nose and smiled awkwardly at Luo Ying: "I'm just worried about you! With your simple personality, how can you hide anything?"
Luo Ying smiled helplessly and asked Xiang Yuandai cautiously: "Brother Yuandai... well... you are more experienced... men understand men better... you analyze it... if the person you love the most makes a mistake, will you forgive her?"
Xiang Yuandai raised his voice and said seriously, "It depends on what mistake she made. As a man, you should not make mistakes except for matters of principle. You can tolerate all other mistakes."
When Luo Ying heard this, his face instantly turned gloomy, like a sky covered with dark clouds.
She lowered her voice carefully and asked with a trembling voice: "Then...if the person you love the most...hurts you...can you still go back?"
Xiang Yuandai's heart trembled when he heard this question, and he blurted out without thinking: "Just like when I was with He Sumei, she hurt me so deeply and directly destroyed me! Do you think you can go back?"
Luo Ying's heart instantly sank to the bottom of the lake, and she was so depressed that she could hardly breathe. Tears flowed out of her eyes like beads that had broken off the string. She was afraid that Hua Yuchen would repeat Xiang Yuandai's mistakes and walk down a path of no return.
When Xiang Yuandai saw Luo Ying's tears rolling down, his face suddenly changed, as if a dark cloud was pressing down on his head, gloomy and heavy.
He quickly reached out and tightly grasped Luo Ying's slender wrist, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and his voice became stern and low: "The person you are talking about is not you, right? What did you do wrong? Why did you hurt him? Why can't you go back?"
His words were like a chill wind that made Luo Ying's body tremble involuntarily. Xiang Yuandai stared at her closely, as if he wanted to see through her eyes and see the secrets in her heart.
At this time, Hua Yuchen and General You were far away from the camp. They saw Xiao Qingxiu guarding outside the tent. He whispered to General You, "Go send her away and tell her I have something to talk to her about!"
General You glanced at Xiao Qingxiu, clasped his hands together and said, "I understand!"
After saying that, he went over and sent Xiao Qingxiu away.
Hua Yuchen took a deep breath and slowly walked towards the camp. Hearing their quarrel, he stood outside the camp calmly.
Luo Ying remained silent in response to Xiang Yuandai's questioning, which completely infuriated Xiang Yuandai: "Tell me...who is that person?" His voice was full of anger and dissatisfaction, as if he wanted to overturn the roof of the general's camp.
Seeing this, Shao Hanyue couldn't help but want to step forward to help pull Xiang Yuandai away and ease the tense atmosphere. But Xiang Yuandai shook her hand away and shouted: "I want her to tell me in person! Who is that person?
Luo Ying still kept his head down and kept silent. Xiang Yuandai tightened his grip and asked in disappointment, "Is it Feng Yequn? Is it him?"
However, Luo Ying's silence was like an invisible barrier, isolating Xiang Yuandai's questioning. Xiang Yuandai finally couldn't stand the torture of silence, and he roared at Luo Ying like crazy: "Why him? He is just a small guard leader in the heavenly palace, and I am the prince. Why do you fall in love with him but not me! You and Hua Yuchen are in a two-way love, I can resist not disturbing you! But why can he get your love? Why did you choose him and not me?"
Xiang Yuandai's voice gradually became hoarse and desperate. He was almost on the verge of collapse: "Besides falling in love with him, what else did you do with him? Why can't you and Hua Yuchen go back? Tell me!"
