Chapter 112 Section 5: From beauty to magic

Let's say that Mi Xin was panicked and at a loss when he heard the words.Before meeting Cheng Yu, she felt pretty good about herself.The husband has a smooth career and a bright future; the children are also healthy and lively, fat and fleshy.Life is rich and flashy, which attracts envy.There are not many women at her age who live better than her, and there are only a few women who live better than her and are more beautiful than her.However, when she met Cheng Yu, everything about her seemed so ridiculous and insignificant in front of this young man.Yes, she couldn't resist at all, she could only submit and let him dominate.Mi Xin then asked in a panic: "Your Majesty keeps a concubine, what is your intention?"

Cheng Yu said: "I have a deep meaning of my own, which is beyond Madam's knowledge." Mi Xin laughed back with hatred, where did the gangster logic come from, obviously you want to put me under house arrest, but I don't even deserve to know the reason for being under house arrest.Seeing that the matter has come to this point, Mi Xin simply clarified the words and said loudly: "I am a married woman. If the lord wants to rape the concubine, the concubine will kill herself by biting her tongue and laying her dead body in front of the king. I would rather die than dare to marry you." Although a concubine is lowly, she should not be humiliated."

Cheng Yu looked at Mi Xin in surprise, and said, "Why do you think so, madam? Who do you think Cheng Xu is? Who do you think madam is?" The indifference and innocence on Cheng Yu's face made Mi Xin feel embarrassed.Could it be that she pretended to be affectionate and wrongly blamed Cheng Xu?Mi Xin said: "The lord is a great husband in the world. The concubine is old and weak, and has a rough appearance. Naturally, she is not in the eyes of the lord. The concubine is of no benefit to the lord. I hope that the lord will take pity on me and let me go home." "Family?" Cheng Yu laughed loudly and said, "What is a family? A husband and a child, what a good wife and mother." There was clearly an indescribable irony in his smile.

Mi Xin said puzzledly: "I'm not a man, I don't want to be famous, but if I care for my husband and teach my son, my wish is fulfilled." Cheng Yu didn't speak anymore.He lit a piece of incense on the jade table in front of him, and the cigarette wafted up. Cheng Xu bowed his head and sucked the cigarette into his belly.His pale complexion gradually turned red.Mi Xin smelled it from a distance, and already felt that the fragrance was unspeakable, and seemed to have a sense of ecstasy, but when she thought of her own situation, she felt sad and wept softly. Cheng Xun laughed and said, "How stupid a woman is. Life is like a post, so what's the point of worrying?" This smile is indescribably tired and bored.The sensitivity and delicacy of a woman made Mi Xin feel that Cheng Yu in front of him must have strange and far-reaching thoughts.She couldn't guess, and she didn't dare to ask.

Mi Xin pleaded: "I have four sons, all of whom are still young, and cannot be separated for a day. Although a gentleman is expensive, after all, he still has a young age. Mother and child are connected, and the monarch must be able to understand." Cheng Yu suddenly became agitated, and said: "My lady considers herself humble, and Cheng Yu also regards her as humble. From my point of view, you are just a stupid female monkey who is complacent and proud of the wealth in the cage. If you have If you have a tail, you must have gone up to the sky long ago. Forget your husband! What kind of relationship does a husband have to his wife? Gather like water, scatter like falling flowers. You don’t know each other in life, and you die ignorant. Forget your four sons! What kind of relationship is it with the mother? It’s like keeping things in a vase, and when they come out, they will leave! Women are so stupid, and the world is so stupid.”

Mi Xin became more and more confused.She simply didn't know how she had offended Cheng Xu.How could he say such heartless and ruthless words?He must be crazy, that's the only reasonable explanation. Cheng Yu walked towards Mi Xin, but Mi Xin could no longer escape.This boy has a magical power that she can't resist.It's not charm, it's magic.The distance between the two is so close that Mi Xin can already feel Cheng Yu's warm breathing on his face.Mi Xin subconsciously turned her face away, not daring to look at Cheng Xu.Cheng Yu held up her face, looked at her in pain, and said: "Such a face, I often dreamed of it when I was young. Such a face, whether angry or resentful, finally appeared before my eyes. Please tell me Why should I, such a beauty, destroy myself?"

It was the first time in Mi Xin's life that he was treated so lightly by a man, and he was ashamed and ashamed.What surprised her was that deep down in her heart she didn't dislike such closeness, but liked it a little. If she was afraid, it was whether her beauty could withstand such close observation.She was so upset that she couldn't understand what Cheng Xu was talking about. Cheng Yu said again: "Madam, do you know the difference between life and death?" Mi Xin shook her head blankly.Cheng Yu went on to say: "I heard Zhu Yang and Zhu say: In life, all things are different; in death, all things are the same. In life, there are virtuous and foolish, high and low, which are different; in death, there is rot and extinction. It is the same. The virtuous and the foolish, the noble and the humble, are beyond what can be done, and rot and rot cannot be eliminated. Therefore, life is not what is born, and death is not what to die. Lowness is not a lowliness. However, all things live and die together, the virtuous and the stupid, the noble and the humble. Ten years will die, a hundred years will die, benevolent saints will die, fierce and fools will die. Life is Yao and Shun, death is rotting bones; Life is Jie and Zhou, and death is rotten bones. Rotten bones are one, who knows the difference?" After finishing speaking, Cheng Xun closed his eyes and sighed, and said again: "So, what joy is there in life? What fear is there in death?"

Mi Xin felt a pain in his heart, why would a young man like a flower be so sad and pessimistic?He should have plunged headlong into the torrent of life, enjoying the endless glory and wealth, but why did he surface and think about these absurd questions?Although Mi Xin was more than a round older than Cheng Yu, he was unable to answer such metaphysical questions. Cheng Yu suddenly smiled and said: "Madam, there is no need to answer. Madam is the answer. How happy is life? There is beauty. Why fear death? Without beauty as a companion. A peerless face has its own mysterious eternity, and it cannot be made of flesh and blood. Fan Er preached. Fan Yuqi, how can anyone own it according to his wife! It is sad for his wife. The ultimate beauty is not human, and it must be a bad omen. If Fan Yuqi dies for his wife, it is also a It's not a pity." Mi Xin seemed to have realized something when he heard it, and Cheng Yu continued: "Although my wife and I are different from each other, we are actually of the same kind. So being different from others has nothing to do with wealth or status. Beauty is the only thing. But how can beauty last forever? Having it but not using it is more evil than not having it at all.”

Although Mi Xin knew that what Cheng Xu said was all nonsense, and was even just a trick to cheat her of her chastity, she couldn't help feeling sad all of a sudden.As the saying goes, there is a seven-year itch, and she and Fan Yuqi's marriage has lasted for more than ten years. If I don't want to think about it, I really feel itchy when I think about it.Day after day, the years washed away the dam she built with her beauty. At present, the dam is still strong, but God knows how long it will last, and when will it collapse?So the aging is changing rapidly.Except for the bronze mirror, who else has sighed for her dying face?Is it Fan Yuqi, or her four children?Or, is it the handsome and crazy young man in front of him?

What Cheng Yu said next was more for Mi Xin than to say that he was talking to himself, "Since we live in troubled times, although it is beautiful, it will not last long. Everything is its enemy, and it must be dirty Then hurry up. Like a dream bubble, like dew and like lightning. I have no faults, but I have to carry forward with a load, and I can't rest." Cheng Yu said the excitement, and suddenly grabbed Mi Xin's hand.Mi Xin didn't take her hand away. On that May evening, she mistakenly thought it was her own hand.Cheng Yu murmured: "So real. So scary. Ma'am, save me!"

Mi Xin panicked and replied: "The concubine has no virtue or ability, how can I save the lord?" Cheng Yu suddenly cried.He was begging, and he seemed to be praying.I'm so scared, I'm only eighteen.I shouldn't have to suffer this.You, like me, have nothing.You only have your beauty.You will be remembered by future generations, not because you are Fan Yuqi's wife, nor because you can bear four children, but because of your unparalleled beauty.Your body should be consecrated, not a sin.Save me with your beauty. Mi Xin's heart suddenly felt empty.Cheng Yu's tears caught her off guard and forgot to resist.Mi Xin only felt that Cheng Xu threw her to the ground suddenly.The wonderful aura of the young man exuding from him made her fascinated, and a warm current surged quickly in her body.A moment ago, Cheng Yu was just a helpless child, but now, he is a ferocious beast.Are the sons of the heavenly family all such virtues, struggling with emptiness? Mi Xin reminded herself in her heart that she must defend her chastity.It's not that she's not tempted, it's just that she can't.She is already a wife and mother, and she shouldn't think of anything else.She must not take this step, and if she takes this step, she will fall into the cliff of eternal doom.Even though he thought so in his heart, Mi Xin couldn't resist.With all her strength, she chose to escape ruthlessly at this moment. Just when Mi Xin was about to accept Cheng Yu, Cheng Xu stopped suddenly.Cheng Yu passed out.Mi Xin was terrified, sniffed and breathed.She wanted to call for someone, but in the end she didn't make a sound.She looked at the drowsy Cheng Xu, and there was a smile on her face.Just like this, they stayed together quietly with Cheng Yu, only the two of them, as if they were sharing an ambiguous or even evil secret. Is she born again, or is she dead at all?Mi Xin didn't care about these.Before meeting Cheng Yu, the track of her life has been laid and set. She is like a train, which doesn't even need a driver. It only needs to drive automatically, and it can reach the end of death exactly.Her heart was already like a withered ancient well, but she had no choice but to fall into the well first, then fall into the stone, and finally wake her up with difficulty.When she was still beautiful and enjoyed the privileges given by beauty, she had to live for herself, even if she only lived once.She held Cheng Li in her arms and hummed an old ballad softly: "Little baby, barefoot, came to the hillside to pick wild flowers. The wild flowers are white and fragrant. Take them home and give them to her." With the singing , Mi Xin went back to the distant and dusty past.At that time, she was an innocent and happy little girl, singing this ballad and playing house with the pillow in her arms. It took Cheng Yu a long time to wake up, and he found himself being held in Mi Xin's arms like a baby, and he couldn't help being very embarrassed.Cheng Yu hurriedly broke free, and regained his usual proud and indifferent appearance.Cheng Yu called the servant girl in and sent Mi Xin back to rest.Before Mi Xin left, she turned her head to look at Cheng Xu, but Cheng Xu was already submerged in her hazy tears, and she couldn't see clearly. Mi Xin leaves.Cheng Yu sat alone and thought, and suddenly a person appeared in front of him without a sound.Looking up, Fuqiu Bo is also.Cheng Yu said coldly: "When did you come?" Uncle Fuqiu didn't answer, but began to ask Cheng Yu: "Your Majesty is responsible for the family and the country, why do you care so much about women?" Cheng Yu shook his head and said, "Mr. is not me, of course I don't know." Uncle Fuqiu saw the residual incense on the case, and shouted anxiously: "Although the fragrance of Xiaoyao can make people feel at ease for a while, it has a huge poison in it. If it is used for a long time, it will kill your life. You don't know it. You used to be in front of the king's spirit. Make a vow to rectify the rules and order, and reorganize the universe. The responsibilities are heavy and the road is long, and I hope that the king will take care of his body." Cheng Yu said: "I'll take care of it myself, don't worry about it, sir." After saying that, he left in a huff.
