Chapter 250 Willing
Chapter 250 Willing
The setting sun poured down like molten gold, shining through the mottled wooden window frames and into the old wooden house.
The light danced in the dust in the air, giving the dark space a gentle orange hue.
Inside the house, a man and a woman stood face to face. The man was handsome and the woman was graceful.
A beam of light happened to fall on the two of them. The two figures slanting on the ground seemed to be flashing with the echoes of time, interweaving with the gradually silent bird calls outside the window to form a quiet and profound picture.
"I'm just a little fisherman's girl. How could I be someone familiar to a noble like you? You must be joking." Su Su felt uncomfortable as long as she looked at the emotions in Shen Peiqing's black eyes for a second longer, so she simply ignored his eyes.
Shen Peiqing was silent for a moment, his eyes fixed on her. He calmly changed the subject, "Miss, why don't you take me around tomorrow? Of course, I'll give you some money."
Hearing that he didn't talk about that topic again, Su Su must have recognized the wrong person. She knew this was normal, but for some reason she felt a sense of loss in her heart.
"Of course. But no need for money." Su Su refused the money. After all, taking people to see the scenery was not a big deal.
Shen Peiqing suddenly gave her a gentle smile: "Thank you very much."
When Su Su saw Shen Peiqing's smile, she was stunned for a moment.
Because that smile, like the flowing light of spring, like the gentle breeze, gradually stirred up ripples in the lake of her heart.
There seemed to be a sea of stars hidden in his eyes, shining with a gentle and deep light.
The light seemed to freeze at this moment, outlining his outline even softer, and even the air was filled with a faint floral scent and woody warmth.
Susu's cheeks unconsciously turned red. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look directly into those black eyes that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. However, an indescribable emotion quietly rose in her heart, like a bud breaking through the soil and growing quietly.
Shen Peiqing noticed Su Su's expression and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
-
In the next few days, Su Su diligently took Shen Peiqing to travel around Tianshui Village and visit many scenic spots.
While walking along a forest path, Shen Peiqing suddenly stopped and looked at a shimmering lake not far away. He said softly, "Once, there was a person who told me that she wanted to live somewhere with beautiful scenery for a while."
Su Su looked at Shen Peiqing and saw a layer of sadness on his handsome face. She wondered if he was missing his lover.
Thinking of the word "lover", Su Su couldn't help but lower her eyes, but soon raised her head again and said in a calm voice: "Tianshui Village is actually very suitable. Young Master can actually bring your lover here."
Shen Peiqing suddenly turned his head and looked at her. Somehow, at that moment, she seemed to feel the tenderness in his eyes, as if she was his lover, and her heart was beating wildly.
"I'll tell her about it soon."
Su Su suppressed the beating of her heart, took a half step back, smiled lightly and nodded: "Yeah."
In fact, it is to cover up one's unknown emotions.
"Miss Susu, it's a blessing for you to grow up in such a peaceful and beautiful place like Tianshui Village." Shen Peiqing suddenly sighed softly and looked at her gently.
Su Su was stunned for a moment, then shook her head and smiled, "I didn't grow up in Tianshui Village. I only came here a year ago."
When Shen Peiqing heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, his heart was slightly moved, and he was even more certain that the person in front of him was the one he was looking for.
He clenched his fists and wanted to ask, but was afraid of scaring her. After all, in her current state, she must have forgotten a lot of things.
"Miss Susu. I actually have something I need to tell you."
Su Su was slightly stunned and looked at him: "Please speak. Mr. Shen."
Shen Peiqing looked at Su Su, thought for a moment, and then said, "I."
Suddenly, feeling a sharp gaze approaching, Shen Peiqing was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He immediately reached out and hugged Su Su and dodged to the side.
"What's going on?" Susu's eyes suddenly froze, and she looked in horror at the source of the sharp arrow that broke through the air.
Unexpectedly, where she looked, there were three men in black standing there, holding sharp swords that flashed with cold light in their hands. They were like ghosts in the daytime, silent but full of danger.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking us?" Shen Peiqing stared coldly at the men in black, his hand already drawing his sword.
The three men in black looked at them, and the leader sneered, "We attacked you because you are the Emperor of Beizhou!"
When Su Su heard this, she looked at Shen Peiqing in shock. He was actually the emperor of Beizhou?
"Give me your life!" The leading man in black pointed a long sword at Shen Peiqing and began to attack him frantically.
Shen Peiqing held Susu in his arms, holding a sword while blocking the attacks of the men in black, while protecting Susu to prevent her from being hurt by the men in black.
Shen Peiqing was agile and carried Susu through the woods, dodging the sharp swords of the men in black.
He tiptoed lightly and leaped over the dead branches that blocked the road, avoiding attacks with every turn.
Su Su snuggled tightly in his arms, and could clearly feel his strong heartbeat and rapid breathing.
The sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, dappling onto them and adding a touch of unreality to the tense scene.
The man in black pursued them relentlessly, his sword flashing like lightning, but Shen Peiqing was always able to escape danger time and time again with his extraordinary martial arts and keen judgment, and he took Su Su to move flexibly among the woods.
Just as Shen Peiqing was locked in a fierce fight with the man in black, a burst of rapid and powerful horse hoofbeats sounded from afar, getting closer and closer, causing the fallen leaves in the forest to fly.
A black horse broke through the shadows of the trees like lightning. The man on the horse was wearing silver armor and holding a spear. It was General Xu, a famous general from Beizhou.
His eyes were like torches, and he shouted angrily, "How dare you, you idiot, attack His Majesty!"
After saying that, General Xu swung his spear, and the tip of the spear cut through the air, bringing with it a biting cold wind, and went straight for the leader of the men in black.
As the silver light flashed, the men in black were thrown into chaos and were unable to withstand the sudden attack, which gave Shen Peiqing and Su Su a precious chance to catch their breath.
General Xu's silver spear was like a dragon emerging from the sea. Each strike carried the force of thunder and lightning, instantly breaking the black-clad men's defense line.
Shen Peiqing took the opportunity to create a gap, and with a flash of sword light, the sharp sword edge cut the throat of a man in black.
Blood splattered, and the man in black fell down in disbelief with his eyes wide open.
On the other side, General Xu's gun shadows were so dense that they forced another man in black to retreat again and again. Finally, he shot the man in black through the heart, and the man in black fell down.
The last man in black saw that the situation was not good and turned around to escape, but Shen Peiqing was quick-witted and killed him with a sword.
The three men fell to the ground, and the forest returned to tranquility for a moment. Only the sunlight shone through the leaves, dappled onto the blood-stained ground and the firm and cold faces of Shen Peiqing and General Xu.
"Your Majesty, are you okay?" General Xu looked at Shen Peiqing nervously.
Shen Peiqing shook his head. He looked at Su Su and asked softly, "Su Su, are you okay?"
Su Su was still reeling from the experience of being assassinated by the man in black and learning that Shen Peiqing was the emperor of Beizhou.
Seeing Shen Peiqing asking her, she shook her head and said, "It's okay. But."
Before she finished speaking, Su Su felt a little dizzy. Shen Peiqing's heart tightened, and he quickly reached out and hugged Su Su, then called out in panic: "Xiao Su!"
-
This is where?
A voice emerged from her mind.
"Host. Take back your memory."
Su Su heard this strange voice, and she felt strange when it called her host.
"Who are you? What host?"
"Come here. Grab that ball of light. Everything will be alright."
"What?" Su Su was slightly stunned. At this moment, a golden floating ball appeared not far away.
She subconsciously closed her eyes, and after she got used to the brightness of the float, she looked at the seemingly familiar pictures on the float, which flashed by frame by frame like a passing show.
Su Su walked over involuntarily and stretched out her hand towards the float.
The float seemed to have a spirit. When she approached, it showed extreme kindness to her and slowly moved closer to her palm.
The moment the float touched her palm, intense light scattered from the center of the float and shot straight into her brow.
But in a moment, Susu felt as if her body did not belong to her.
As she was shocked, a series of strange yet familiar memories quickly entered her mind.
Soon, when he opened his eyes again, those clear and gentle eyes became sharper and smarter.
Rong Su looked down at the palm of her hand and gently closed it: "It seems that I am not dead yet. Reader. Thank you."
"Host. This time, it's truly a farewell forever."
Rong Su looked in the direction where the sound came from. She nodded, smiled and waved in that direction. In the dim light, she saw a shadow like an elk flash by.
-
"Xiao Su, don't scare me." Shen Peiqing stared at Rong Su who was unconscious in his arms, feeling nervous and scared.
General Xu knew some medical skills. He took Rong Su's pulse, frowned, and soon relaxed his brow.
Shen Peiqing looked at her with a panicked expression and asked hurriedly, "What happened to Xiao Su?"
General Xu looked at Rong Su with a strange and puzzled look, then said to Shen Peiqing, "Your Majesty, Miss Su Su seems to have been poisoned."
"What!" Shen Peiqing was horrified, and then he saw a small scratch on the back of Rong Su's hand, which should have been caused when she was dodging the killer's attack just now.
Thinking of this, Shen Peiqing became angry and cursed in a low voice: "Damn it!" Then he looked at General Xu and asked: "Is there any solution?"
General Xu frowned slightly, and his action undoubtedly made Shen Peiqing feel bad.
"Is there any way?" Shen Peiqing asked anxiously.
General Xu saw that his Majesty was very worried about Miss Susu, so he didn't keep him in suspense and directly expressed his doubts.
"When I took Miss Susu's pulse just now, she did show signs of being poisoned, but the next second, the poison disappeared instantly. So I'm very confused by this situation. I wonder if I made a mistake in my judgment."
When Shen Peiqing heard this, his brows furrowed. He looked at Rong Su in his arms and asked in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"
"Miss Susu is not poisoned now. She was just frightened and fell into a coma." General Xu explained.
Shen Peiqing looked at Rong Su, raised his hand and gently smoothed the wind-blown hair on her forehead, then said in a deep voice: "Xiao Su, don't get into trouble. I finally found you. Promise me, okay?"
A breeze blew by, and the next second, a clear and gentle voice came from his arms.
"Okay. I promise you, Qing."
Shen Peiqing's eyes suddenly widened, his gaze fixed on Rong Su's face who had slowly woken up.
When she called his name softly, at that moment, an inexplicable feeling surged in his heart, making his eyes unconsciously filled with sadness.
"Xiao Su!"
He hugged Rong Su tightly, and the strength transmitted from his arms was as if he wanted to gently engrave her into every inch of his flesh and blood, making her inseparable.
Rong Su also raised her hands and hugged Shen Peiqing back, and could feel his excitement and trembling.
"Ah Qing, I'm back."
--
A month later.
Rumor has it that the Queen of Beizhou has come back to life and returned to the side of the Emperor of Beizhou.
The Emperor of Beizhou once again married the Queen of Beizhou with the whole of Beizhou. The scene was so grand.
At night, the Beizhou Imperial City is decorated with lights and is full of joy.
Shen Peiqing was wearing a dragon robe and riding on a tall horse. Behind him was a betrothal team that stretched for miles. Gold, silver, jewelry, rare treasures were shining brightly. There was also a map of half of the North Continent as a betrothal letter, demonstrating his determination to use the whole world as a betrothal gift.
Rong Su sat in a gorgeously decorated carriage, her red veil lightly covering her, revealing only her delicate outline. She was wearing a wedding dress embroidered with golden phoenixes, looking like a fairy in a painting.
As the team slowly moved forward, people inside and outside the imperial city lined the streets to greet them, cheers rose one after another, and brilliant fireworks bloomed in the sky, decorating the night with a dreamlike look.
Shen Peiqing's gaze gently passed through the crowd and met Rong Su's gaze in the air. Both of them were filled with indescribable happiness and excitement.
He gently held Rong Su's soft hand, and slowly walked towards the solemn platform with pauses in his steps, with unspeakable firmness and gentleness in his steps.
"Xiao Su, I only want to spend my life with you. Are you willing to be my only wife in this life?"
Shen Peiqing's eyes were pious and gentle, like a delicate spring breeze, gently brushing across Rong Su's face.
There was tenderness in that gaze, as if the whole world was silent, with only Rong Su's figure swaying gently in it, clearly visible.
Rong Su raised her red lips, smiled like a beautiful flower, and nodded: "Yes. I do."
The Emperor and Empress of Beizhou finally got married, and they became a couple amid the cheers of the people of Beizhou.
In a warm yet simple wooden house, a gentle and beautiful woman, holding a six-year-old baby girl, said softly, "Okay, this story ends here."
The little girl opened her round eyes wide, as bright and beautiful as black pearls, and asked in a baby voice, "Mother, is there anything else? What about the characters in the story? Why don't they have an ending?"
The woman smiled faintly at the little girl, raised her hand and gently rubbed the little girl's head: "Xiao Xi, which character's subsequent story do you want to hear?"
Xiao Xi tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then smiled. "I want to know what happened to that lively Gu Yu'er! What happened to her in the end?"
The woman was slightly stunned, as if her thoughts were wandering far away, as if she was reminiscing.
"Gu Yu'er."
At this moment, a deep and magnetic voice came from outside the door: "Xiao Xi, Xiao Su, it's time to eat."
When Xiaoxi heard this, he jumped out of the woman's arms and responded to the call from outside the door: "Okay, Daddy!"
Rong Su stood up from the chair with a faint smile and looked at the father and daughter holding hands outside the door. Her face was full of smiles and her eyes were filled with tenderness.
