Chapter 666: Except for Li Moqing, I am not worthy of anyone's remembrance
Even though Baili Moqing was dissatisfied, Shu He still insisted on letting them go.
In the end, it was Shu He who glared at Baili Moqing, and he left reluctantly.
At this time, all the servants in the mansion have already performed their duties. The secret guards have hidden in the dark, several maids are cleaning, and two cooks are busy in the kitchen.
In the main courtyard, under a crabapple tree, there is a round stone table.
Beiji stood there, his head slightly lowered, his eyes fixed on the ground, his heart beating uncontrollably.
He clenched his hands, his palms were sweating, but he still didn't dare to show any abnormality.
"Beiji, sit down."
After saying that, she took the lead and sat down at the stone table. She picked up the tea set that had been prepared on the table and poured him a cup of cold tea.
Seeing that she was waiting for him, Bei Ji hesitated for a moment, but still walked over.
Some things have to be faced.
Instead of sitting, he stood opposite her, keeping a certain distance from her.
After all, due to their different status, he no longer had the qualifications to sit with her.
"Princess..." As soon as these two words came out, he paused, his Adam's apple moving slightly. After a while, he continued: "Princess, do you have anything to say?"
Shu He raised his head and looked at the face he hadn't seen for a long time, and felt a little blocked in his heart.
His temperament has become much colder.
"Sit down and talk. I'm tired of you looking like this."
Beiji was stunned. Seeing her holding her head high and staring at him, his heart moved slightly and he quickly looked away.
"Master and servant are not at the same table..."
"You are not a servant of the General's Mansion, nor are you a servant of me, Shu He!"
"Beiji, you are General Zhongwu, a fourth-rank general of Tianqi! Aside from your rank being lower than some others, your personality is independent and equal, not inferior to anyone else."
“So don’t belittle yourselves, and don’t call yourselves slaves!”
Her voice was gentle and soft, and she didn't use much force, but in his heart, it was like a huge rock, smashing into the lake of his heart that had been calm for a long time.
When she speaks, she can easily shock people's hearts and move them uncontrollably.
His eyes moved and he looked at the face again, which he had not looked at carefully for a long time.
She is much more beautiful and stunning than she was six months ago. Her hair, which was once a little dry and yellow, is now shiny black with a soft luster.
The rough skin that I saw when I first met her is no longer there. Now it is smooth and white, like a peeled egg.
Her long hair tied up made her look more gentle and peaceful, and her temperament became more ethereal than before.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the pair of eyes that are still clear and sincere.
After meeting her frank gaze, he didn't know why he always felt a little guilty.
"Sit down, there are so many eyes watching here, no need to worry too much."
Now that things had come to this, Bei Ji stopped refusing and sat down opposite her.
"How have you been these past six months?" Shu He spoke again and placed the poured tea in front of him.
"I am OK."
He still kept his head down, because he was afraid that if he met her eyes, the emotions in his heart would be revealed uncontrollably again and be discovered.
Guilt appeared in Shu He's eyes, and he couldn't help but clench his fingers.
A cool breeze blew through the yard, and the leaves above made a rustling sound, breaking the weird atmosphere in the yard.
She took out a green brocade handkerchief from her pocket, which seemed to contain something, and placed it in front of him.
"I can't accept this."
That should be the veil he brought back from the northwest. Yier had one, and later Yier gave her one.
Yier said that she saw this on the street, thought it was beautiful, and bought it as a gift for her mother.
But Shu He knew that this was brought back by Beiji from the western border.
Because the pattern on the veil is a mysterious totem unique to the northwest, and the embroidery technique on the veil is very different from that in the mainland, you can tell at a glance that it is not produced in the Central Plains.
It should be him who asked Yier to say this when he sent her there, right?
Beiji was stunned, his hands clenched tightly, and his expression became stiff.
My chest feels stuffy and there is a slight pain.
She still found it.
"At the beginning, I hid my identity, intending to stay by Baili Moqing's side without recognizing him. At that time, I only wanted to heal him and then leave with Yi'er."
"I didn't expect that things would develop like this."
"I didn't expect that something unusual would happen between us."
"Beiji, I won't deny that I once fell in love with you because of Baili Moqing's bastard behavior."
After hearing this, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at her in disbelief.
what did she say?
Is she attracted to him?
Seeing his look of disbelief, she smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to be so surprised."
Shu He also poured himself a cup of tea, but he twisted the cup with his fingers and shook it back and forth, feeling a little awkward.
"You are a very good person and a very charming person, and I am just an ordinary person."
"As a vulgar person, it is inevitable that you will like beautiful things and people."
"But, between you and me, the greatest possibility is limited to this."
"You have your principles, and I have my bottom line. So even when I thought that there was no future between me and Baili Moqing, I didn't dare to provoke you easily; because I was afraid of hurting you and making you feel wronged."
"Unfortunately, I don't think I've done well enough..."
Beiji lowered his head and placed his hands between his knees, his emotions surging inside.
"I'm sorry, I can't hold on to that same feeling like you did, because I can't control my heart either."
"Bai Li Mo Qing and I are entangled in a fate that cannot be escaped. No matter how many times I've been disappointed in him, how many times I've numb myself, and how much I don't want to be entangled with him, every time I see him, the throbbing in my heart cannot stop."
"My feelings for you can be said to be a momentary impulse, but for him, it is an unbreakable bond..."
Beiji clenched his hands into fists, and under his drooping eyes, he could not hide his sadness and loss.
"I was the one who had thoughts that I shouldn't have had. It was me who caused trouble for the princess..."
His voice was somewhat dull and hoarse, making Shu He feel uncomfortable and suffocated.
It's her, sorry for him...
"I'm sorry for letting you end up like this!"
"I know I'm not qualified to say these words, but I still hope you can let go of the past and move on."
"Because apart from Baili Moqing, I am not worthy of any man's lingering thoughts."
He raised his eyes slightly and understood the meaning of her words.
"I also hope that when you are far away at the frontier, defending your country, you will try your best to put your own safety first."
"Your life has an infinite future. You will meet a woman who will make your heart beat again. She will love you wholeheartedly and will never see any other man except you..."
