Chapter 363 If Life Could Just Be Like First Meeting
Spider webs hang in the dark windows, and dust falls on the empty beams.
There was complete silence in the Tianzijia cell, with only the sounds of two breathings, one light and one heavy.
Sleeping once, he told me everything he knew? Is there such a good thing? ? ?
Glancing at the fragments of the clay bowl scattered on the ground, Wei Changtian's pupils shrank slightly and his body paused for a moment.
But in the next moment, he slowly increased the strength in his hands, and casually kneaded the softness under the prison uniform a few times in the panic that flashed across Yu Pingjun's face, and then suddenly reached out and pushed the latter onto the stone bed with a "thump".
The straw mat on the bed made a slight creaking sound, and the distance between the two people was getting closer and closer.
"Queen, this is what you said. I hope you won't break your promise later."
Wei Changtian moved closer to that beautiful face little by little, with a playful smile on his face.
Yu Pingjun also regained his composure at this time. He did not dodge, but stared at Wei Changtian and sneered: "Master Wei, this is right."
"People like you shouldn't pretend to be gentlemen."
"Yes, the Queen is right. I am not a good person and I really shouldn't pretend to be a saint."
Wei Changtian moved closer again, but his eyes slowly moved away from Yu Pingjun's face and looked at the hand that was blocking his chest and trembling slightly.
"But Queen, do you not have to pretend to be so dissolute anymore?"
“.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the hand that was pressing against Wei Changtian's chest suddenly froze.
The expression on Yu Pingjun's face also froze.
Although she was trying her best to act lewd and wanton, this little subconscious action still betrayed her.
"The Queen."
Smiling and standing up, Wei Changtian casually patted the water droplets on his boots and said, "Just listen to the rumors. I don't even know what kind of person I am, so how can you be sure?"
"As for you, I think I understand what kind of person you are."
“.”
The candlelight was dim in the cold room, and the red light cast a layer of flowing luster on the slightly messy hair.
Yu Pingjun first sat up slowly, then stretched out his hand to smooth out the wrinkles on his prison uniform that had just been pressed by Wei Changtian. Finally, he looked at Wei Changtian and asked in a somewhat cold tone, "Then, Master Wei, tell me, what kind of person am I?"
"A woman."
Without hesitation, Wei Changtian started with a nonsense sentence and then completed it: "A woman who will do anything to achieve her goal, sensitive and suspicious, self-righteous but also very inferior."
Unscrupulous, sensitive, suspicious, self-righteous, and low self-esteem.
There are four adjectives in total, all of which are derogatory.
This sentence did not cause any ripples in Yu Pingjun's heart, not even any anger.
But when Wei Changtian paused, stared into her eyes and said another word, her calm mood began to slowly become disturbed.
"But Queen, I also know that you are a miserable person and have your own difficulties."
"So I believe you have a compelling reason to do all this."
"Of course, these things have nothing to do with me, and I don't know where your suffering comes from."
"But if you ask me, I'd guess."
Having said that, Wei Changtian's expression suddenly changed from calm to "helpless".
He looked at Yu Pingjun with this gaze, and then slowly recited two lines of poetry.
These were two lines of poetry that Yu Pingjun had never heard before, but when they drifted into her ears mixed with the moisture in the cell, it was like a gust of wind blowing past, and instantly uncontrollable tears welled up in her eyes.
"If life could always be like our first encounter, why would the autumn wind bring sorrow to the painted fan?"
"It is easy to change the hearts of old friends, but it is said that the hearts of old friends are easy to change."
As the most popular poem by Nalan Xingde, the "No. 1 romantic in the Qing Dynasty" who possessed power, wealth, talent and good looks in his previous life, the first two lines of "The Ballad of Mulan" often appear in the copywriting of major emotional marketing accounts.
However, Wei Changtian chose to recite these two sentences in front of Yu Pingjun not simply for the sake of sensationalism.
Rather, the meaning expressed in these two lines of poetry is indeed very consistent with Yu Pingjun's experience.
The reason why she chose Li Qi between Li Qi and Ning Yongnian was probably because she had real feelings for him.
According to Li Qi, the two of them did have an extremely sweet "honeymoon period".
But this beautiful moment came to an abrupt end when the deer demon appeared.
Yu Pingjun always thought that it was her own problem that caused Li Qi to become increasingly distant from her.
But no matter how she changed, she could not make the latter change his mind.
It was not until Li Qi appeared in front of her holding Li Wutong and begged her to recognize this daughter that Yu Pingjun understood everything.
Just as the poem says, it was Li Qi who changed his mind first.
But in the end, all the pain had to be borne by Yu Pingjun.
Not only did she have to acknowledge a "deer demon" as her daughter, but she also couldn't tell anyone about her grievance.
However, even so, Yu Pingjun still held a glimmer of hope at the beginning.
She hoped that after taking this wrong path, Li Qi would change his mind and come back to her.
For this reason, Yu Pingjun really treated Li Wutong as her own son, and kept this shocking secret for Li Qi that was enough to make the Dafeng royal family a laughing stock of the world.
However, things did not develop as she expected.
For twenty years, the two seemed to be in love with each other, but Li Qi never touched her once.
The reason behind this was obvious, and it made Yu Pingjun completely disheartened, and the love in his heart turned into hatred.
“.”
“Pah.”
A tear slid down her cheek, fell on the rough prison uniform, then spread out and slowly disappeared.
This is a tear mixed with Yu Pingjun's extremely complicated emotions.
It was also the only tear she shed.
"Master Wei."
After taking a deep breath, Yu Pingjun's expression returned to normal.
She looked at Wei Changtian, whose brows were slightly furrowed, and asked with a smile, "It seems that Li Qi has told you everything about us."
“.”
Hiss, is this woman's ability to adjust herself psychologically so strong?
Such two awesome lines of poetry only moved her for a few seconds?
Damn it! Wei Changtian, who thought he had "easily won", couldn't help but feel a headache, but after just a moment he also relaxed his brows.
"Empress, the Emperor did tell me these things half a month ago."
"At that time, I accidentally realized that Princess Wuping was a demon, and the emperor had no choice but to tell the truth."
"And he also said at the time that the person he felt most sorry for in his life was you, the Queen."
“.”
Of course, Wei Changtian's last sentence was made up, with the purpose of trying to shake Yu Pingjun's psychological defenses again.
However, this time the latter's expression did not change at all.
This is not rigorous.
There is actually change, but it is not the kind of hesitation or struggle, but a hint of subtle sarcasm.
"Master Wei, I have waited twenty years for this sentence and still haven't heard it. Do you think I will believe you?"
"But since you have already guessed it, I will tell you the truth."
"Yes, I do hate Li Qi and Li Wutong."
"I hate that they are clearly the ones who are wrong, but I have to bear all the pain!"
"Why should I keep a secret for the Li family?! And why should I adopt a demon beast as my son?!"
"Why can they feel at ease asking me to silently endure this, but not allow me to resist at all?!"
"Just because he's the emperor?!"
"Just because she's the bastard child of that deer demon?!"
"I won't!!!"
“.”
The voice gradually grew louder, and the person referring to himself changed from "I" to "this lady".
When Yu Pingjun's eyes turned red and he shouted out all the hatred in his heart at the top of his lungs, he looked just like he had been crazy before.
But Wei Changtian knew that she was not pretending this time.
This is what hatred looks like to the extreme.
The current situation seems a little out of control at first glance, but Wei Changtian is actually quite satisfied with it.
Since he is willing to vent, it means that Yu Pingjun's psychological defenses have become increasingly fragile, which also means that he is one step closer to success.
While listening to the "bloody and tearful accusations" shouted at the top of my lungs, I was quickly thinking about what I should say next.
But at a certain moment, Wei Changtian's originally calm expression suddenly froze.
"Fuck you."
He suddenly looked up, stared at Yu Pingjun in disbelief, and stood up at the same time.
"What did you just say?!"
"Hehe, I say that Master Wei, instead of listening to a crazy woman like me complaining here, you should go back to the Princess's Mansion."
Amidst his crazy laughter, Yu Pingjun licked his bright red lips, his eyes filled with endless teasing.
"If it had been a little later, that evil creature might have known what she really was."
