Chapter 64: The couple is as beautiful as a dream
The day I married Yun Si felt like a dream.
The Gu Temple was ablaze with red, attracting everyone's attention.
She now has a new identity: the Princess of Dayue. Her "brother," Prince Jiang Chengze of Dayue, is also present today.
In fact, most Miao men's wedding attire is blue, but today Yun Si wore red. One reason was because Jiang Li was wearing red, and the other was because of the saying "red clothes, white hair".
If he had not become the Gu King, Yun Si would have preferred to get married according to the wedding customs of Jiang Li's side.
She could clearly see that the wedding dress had no veil. Those people were very respectful, their eyes full of awe.
Yun Si gently held her hand and whispered, "Why are you distracted after getting married?"
She recalled the time in Cangshui Village when she had dragged Yun Si along to talk to them about getting married. Those people's eyes were filled with contempt and anger, and they wished they could kill her.
She was a little dazed...but only a few months later, the situation changed drastically.
Yun Si led her forward, and when they reached the stairs, he reminded her, "Watch your step!"
Thanks to Yun Si, she is now admired by everyone.
In Cangshui Village, she was cursed as a scourge. To fight back, she grew thorns all over her body. She wouldn't hesitate to stab anyone who bullied her.
Later, after leaving Cangshui Village, those strange looks disappeared. The spikes slowly softened and transformed into a pair of wings.
She wanted to fly further...
But Yun Si protected her, shielding her from the elements. The wings that had shielded her from the elements had dissipated. Things no longer needed were discarded, and the hostility in her had almost completely dissipated.
No one dared to bully her, hurt her, or threaten her...so there was no need for her to bite, fight, or get her head broken and bleeding.
Loving someone is like growing flowers. If you love her, let her grow without distraction.
Jiang Li has a new identity - the Queen of Gu.
Yun Si was afraid that Jiang Li would tire himself out, so he specifically asked her to skip the unnecessary rituals. However, given her status, some tedious procedures were unavoidable.
The first thing Jiang Li did when she returned home was to remove the crown on her head and then the heavy accessories on her body. After doing all this, she felt more than a little relaxed.
She sat in front of the mirror, her head supported by her hands, in a daze.
Yun Si walked over and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I'm a little tired." Her voice was full of fatigue.
Yun Si looked at the small head ornaments on her head that she had not yet taken off, and naturally extended his hand: "In that case, then I will serve you, sister?"
Yun Si's movements were gentle, and he would hold her hair carefully when removing the hair accessories to avoid pulling on her scalp. He arranged the hair accessories one by one, and then took out a comb to comb her hair.
She looked at Yun Si in the mirror, combing his hair seriously, and couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, I've done my hair." He looked up and caught a glimpse of her retracted mouth in the mirror. "What are you laughing at, sister?"
"I didn't laugh." Jiang Li lied with his eyes open.
"lie."
"Then take a guess."
Yun Si raised his eyes and met the person in the mirror's gaze: "I can't guess."
Jiang Li said lazily: "You didn't even guess."
"It's definitely not a good thing!"
"Yeah." Jiang Li shook his head. "I'm laughing at you for having the temperament to be a white lotus."
"What is White Lotus?"
Jiang Li explained, "It looks pure white, as clean as a lotus flower, untainted by worldly matters."
"That's wrong." Yun Si slowly approached her, and a face close to Jiang Li appeared in the mirror.
"I am an ordinary person, a common person who only thinks about love between husband and wife every day." Yun Si's face slowly shifted as his gaze followed her, and finally only the corners of his mouth were touching her: he took the opportunity to lean forward and kissed her on the lips.
Jiang Li was stunned for a moment, then quickly pushed him away: "You promised me! How could you kiss me!"
Yun Si answered confidently: "But we are getting married today?"
"That won't work!" Jiang Li looked at him and added, "Begging me won't work. In short, it won't work today."
"Why?"
"I have some stomachache today. I'm afraid...something might happen."
Seeing her worried expression, Yun Si suddenly softened his heart and compromised, "Then you can hold me while I sleep, right?"
Jiang Li rarely saw him so easy to talk to, and his eyes were suspicious.
"Sister, why don't you believe me? Since we're already married, I don't have to worry about not having time to do these things in the future! There's no need to rush."
He spoke with such conviction that Jiang Li believed him.
Finally, Yun Si carried her to the bed in a daze and held her in his arms: "Alright, just hold her like this."
Maybe it was because she hadn't been so close to Yun Si for a long time, or maybe it was because they were getting married today, but she was so excited that she couldn't sleep.
Her restlessness disturbed Yun Si, who complained, "Sister, are you not sleeping to torture me?"
The bustle outside had returned to calm, and the sound of Yun Si complaining in her ears brought an inexplicable sense of peace to her heart. After wandering for so long, it was inevitable that she would feel dazed when she suddenly found a place to stay.
Only now did she fully accept the fact that she had a home, a home with Yun Si. She used to dislike being clingy or attached, but now she felt at ease.
Jiang Li suddenly said, "Guess, is he a boy or a girl?"
Yun Si was stunned for a moment and all sleepiness disappeared.
His throat tightened and he replied, "Girl, like a sister."
But those clenched fingers betrayed his true feelings. He was not virtuous, generous, or simple. Even his marriage was based on a lie.
His heart was twitching, and no matter how tenderly the woman in his arms spoke, she could not soothe the pain.
She seems to be looking forward to the child even more... What should I do?
The first snow of the year fell in Miaojiang.
Fine snow flakes soaked the dry grass and covered the dark blue eaves. Yun Si sat by the window, his fingertips resting on a crimson poisonous insect, gazing at the gradually falling snow outside, his expression as indifferent as a snow-washed sky.
As the attendant knelt outside the door to announce Yun Yuan's death, his voice was as tense as a string about to break: "Sir... the witch master is dead. It was his personal attendant who did it."
Yun Si didn't look back.
He only softly responded, as if he had expected it, yet as if he didn't care. The cold wind from outside the window blew snowflakes in, landing on his dark-colored clothes, melting them in an instant, leaving only a small dark stain.
His face showed no emotion, his gaze fixed on the insect between his fingers. The insect trembled slightly, its tentacles reaching towards the snow-covered window, as if startled by the cold air, or perhaps smelling some kind of blood.
After a long time, he lowered his eyes and smiled lightly.
"knew."
The voice fell into the empty hall and was quickly swallowed up by the wind and snow.
Yun Si looked back inside. Jiang Li was leaning back in a rocking chair, reading a book, while Ah Feng was curled up at her feet. He had been incredibly busy over the past month and hadn't been able to settle down and take a good look at her in a while.
Because it was unlucky for someone to die in the same month as their wedding, he allowed Yun Yuan to live until today. To him, Yun Yuan was just someone he hated. Yun Si was bullied by him when he was young, and when he grew up, he was assassinated multiple times by him. Yun Yuan even tried to dig up his mother's grave.
If Yun Yuan didn't kill Yun Si, then he would have to wait for death.
He wanted Yun Yuan to witness him ascend the throne he had long dreamed of, and publicly strip away the rights he was so proud of! Little by little, he would drive him to death.
Yun Si not only wants to destroy people's hearts, but also wants to kill people to destroy their hearts!
That servant was the person Yun Yuan trusted most during his lifetime, but people's hearts can be bought.
How does Yun Yuan feel when he is killed by the person he trusts the most?
He couldn't understand it because he seemed to be living in a dream.
Jiang Li noticed Yun Si's gaze, put down the book, and also propped up his head to look at him.
Yes, just like now.
Jiang Li looked into his eyes and saw love, the true love he had always dreamed of. Yun Si smiled at her: "It's snowing."
Jiang Li's face lit up with joy. He stood up from the rocking chair and walked towards the window, finally stopping at Yun Si.
She stared blankly outside, reaching out to catch the snowflakes falling from the sky: "I have never seen snow in Cangshui Village..."
Yun Si looked at him and smiled: "In fact, it hasn't snowed in Miaojiang for ten years."
Jiang Li turned around and looked at him: "I don't believe you."
Her eyes were bright and she couldn't hide her happiness.
It has been exactly ten years since the death of the former Gu King.
His father never loved him, he only loved his mother. In the eyes of the former Gu King, he was just an heir.
So, he didn't have much emotion about the death of the former Gu King. Everyone said he was cold-blooded. When his mother died, he cried, but he cried to deceive Yun Yuan.
That was the most embarrassing and cowardly moment in his life.
"Sister, do you want to find your family?" Yun Si remembered Jiang Li said that her father was from Miaojiang.
Jiang Li was stunned: "Why are you looking for him?"
"Most people in the world have an inexplicable obsession with finding their relatives." Yun Si's tone was very light. He didn't seem to be talking about her, but rather talking about the common delusion in the world.
"Even if I find him, what can I do? It's just a blood relationship, and at most I can get some sudden concern. And that so-called love, in the final analysis, is nothing more than a desire to repay the guilt of more than ten years of debt." Jiang Li smiled and looked at him: "I have little family ties, and having Ah Si as a family is enough for me!"
She saw it clearly, but he was more afraid. He would eventually wake up from the dream he had woven with lies...
He actually hoped that Jiang Li could be a little more confused.
He smiled back, "I will always be with my sister."
Yun Si had changed a bit these days, becoming more stable and mature. Although there was an inexplicable strangeness to it, Jiang Li could accept it.
The wind outside was a bit chilly, and Yun Si advised, "Sister, you're wearing thin clothes. It's easy to catch a cold if you're always in the wind."
At first Jiang Li didn’t take it seriously, but unexpectedly... that night, Yun Si caught a cold.
He was like a furnace, and Jiang Li was shocked.
The doctor could only take care of the external symptoms but not the internal ones, so they had to invite a witch doctor to come.
The witch doctor took the pulse and said, "Lord Gu King, you are a little tired, which is why you caught a cold after a little wind. And—"
He paused, glancing at Jiang Li. "After all, witchcraft can backfire. Over-reliance on it is not advisable."
Jiang Li didn't understand and asked, "What do you mean?"
Yun Si looked over and the witch doctor quickly shook his head: "It's nothing, just take some medicine."
After sending the witch doctor away, Yun Si finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This witch doctor talks too much. I can't look for him next time.
A pair of warm hands suddenly covered his forehead: "It's still very hot..."
The murmurs gave him a long-lost warmth.
He didn't say anything, just stared at her blankly. His vision was a little blurry, and there was an inexplicable noise in his ears.
Jiang Li was about to withdraw his hand, but Yun Si pulled him back: "Don't."
"I'll get you some water."
"I don't want to drink." Yun Si held on tightly and refused to let go.
Jiang Li sighed helplessly and had to sit down next to him again.
Jiang Li sat there bored and jokingly said, "You told me to be careful during the day, but I didn't expect you to be the one who's not feeling well!"
"Yes, that's why I need my sister's care." Yun Si coughed, "I feel very uncomfortable now, very uncomfortable..."
His voice gradually became weaker and weaker, so soft that Jiang Li could hardly hear it.
"What?" Jiang Li lowered his head and moved closer, wanting to hear clearly.
But there was moisture on my face - a kiss.
Just as she was about to explode, a man's voice came from the darkness, even with a hint of tears in his voice: "Sister, please don't leave me for the rest of your life, okay..."
