Chapter 78
Chapter 78 Self-talk
It was late at night, and Zou Heng was the same as last night, guarding by King Ren, with a lighted oil lamp beside him, sitting there quietly watching.
He watched Niwang personally use a towel to help the princess clean her blue cheeks, watched him pick up the comb and help the princess comb her hair, watched him pick up the rouge gouache, and some of his daughter’s home makeup and dressings. Started to help the princess make-up, the movements seem to be quite skilled.
During this process, King Ren seemed to have temporarily suppressed his grief and recovered a bit of calm. While helping the princess put on makeup, he seemed to be talking to Zou Heng, and he seemed to be talking to himself.
“When I was in Qi, I also suffered a lot. The nobles of Qi would not beat me, but they would humiliate me in different ways.”
“Someone has given me women’s clothing, saying that my boy from Yu country is bloodless like a woman, and they have also given me these rouge gouaches from my daughter’s home, forcing me to dress up as women’s clothing in order to make fun of me.”
“At that time, I was very scared, but I wanted to live even more. I didn’t want to go back to Yu Kingdom all the time, and I didn’t want to escape there all the time, but I couldn’t do it at all. Then what can I do? Withstand their insults and keep getting up again!”
“I was familiar with the rouge and gouache used by these daughters at that time, and then I had a princess. These things that I was familiar with because of humiliation became my rare boudoir delights.”
“She likes to let me paint her eyebrows, saying that I paint her eyebrows well. Actually, I don’t think it makes any difference, but since she likes it, I am willing to let her. After all, at that time, I was only able to give her a little bit Tenderness!”
As Nioh was talking, holding a brush for drawing eyebrows, he focused on the princess’s eyebrows, his movements seemed to be cautious, as if he was afraid that he might ruin a famous painting by accident.
“Actually, when she first married me, I also had a lot of defense against her. After all, she was from a dancer and was also from Qi country. Maybe she was by my side, but she had another plan, but slowly, I don’t think so.”
“Although her status is indeed lower, she is different from the nobles of Qi country who want to humiliate me. At least she is sincere to me. She can understand the sufferings I endure, understand my difficulties, and be quiet in the middle of the night. When you come, comfort me gently in my ear.”
“I have been able to survive in Qi State for so many years, and it may also be related to her. I can still remember the way she danced. It was really beautiful. Among all the dancers, she is the best dancer. The one is also the most beautiful one.”
At the end of Niwang’s words, he paused for a while, stretched out his hand and gently applied lip makeup on the princess’s lips, it was a bright red color, like blood, coquettish and beautiful.
“In Qi country for so many years, I thought I might not be able to return to Yu country in my whole life. I even thought that I would spend this life with her peacefully, and I would be buried in Qi country after death, even if I was in other people. In her eyes, I can protect her well, and there is a person who is important to me behind me, so I can at least have some use.”
“As a result, the people of Yu Kingdom came. I thought I was going to be here with all my hardships. I thought I was taking my wife and children back to the royal capital that I was thinking about and began to live a good life. As a result, after all, I’m still too naive!”
“Where is there any good day to bring her back, there is only a dangerous chase along the way, even if I get to the royal capital, I have not escaped after all, I brought her back, but did not protect her, I really was a waste of money. !”
Nioh opened a box of powder box, took the cosmetics from his daughter’s house, and began to apply it on the princess’s face, covering her already blue complexion and making her complexion look a little more normal.
“I know that among the father’s heirs, I am actually the least favored one. Otherwise, when I went to Qi to be a proton, the selected person would not be me. But I think that I will be the father’s heir. At least there will be some father-son friendship. When I knelt in front of him and begged him, he was able to uphold justice for me, but I was disappointed after all!”
“He is the lord of the country, there are many things to consider, maybe seeking justice for me will really make him a little embarrassed, huh!”
“General Li was right on the way back. After returning to the capital, it doesn’t mean that I can sit back and relax. On the contrary, I will face more dangers. Whether it is in Qi or Yu, it is actually the same. As long as you are weak, someone will naturally bully you or even kill you!”
“I thought I already understood this truth, so I wanted to slowly make myself stronger, I wanted to draw in the strength I could draw, and build my own team step by step, but after all I still don’t understand, I think Be strong, some people don’t want me to be strong, they just want me to step on my feet, just want me to lose my beloved, and let me lose everything!”
King Ni changed a posture, helped the princess up, then combed her hair again, picked up the gold and silver jewelry that was next to her, and put them on her body one by one.
“She has always been beautiful. In my heart, there is no woman more beautiful than her. She is a treasure. It’s a pity that I didn’t protect her. She was beautiful when she was alive. Now she is gone and still wants to be beautiful. She Go beautifully!”
“Most of these gold and silver jewelry were purchased for her when I was in Qi State. This golden hairpin is the first thing I gave to her, and it is also her most cherished item. This bracelet is After I got Yu’er, she kept wearing the things I gave her. I originally wanted to find time to make some new jewelry for her after I returned to the capital. Unfortunately, it’s too late now. It’s my princess, but she doesn’t even have a piece of Yu Kingdom jewelry on her body, ha ha!”
At this point in Nioh’s words, his movements have stopped, because everything that needs to be sorted is almost the same, and the last thing to do is to change his clothes.
He turned his head, glanced at Zou Heng who was sitting there, and said again: “I’m going to change the princess’ clothes, so please avoid me!”
Hearing these words, Zou Hengji stood up, nodded and walked out, and by the way, he closed the door of the room after going out.
After I walked out of the room, I felt a little flustered when I recalled the words of Nioh. He is not a sentimental person, but he is not a hard-hearted person. Through Nioh’s words just now, Zou Heng can feel the kind of Nioh. Repressed sadness.
The bits and pieces he confided, coupled with his meticulous movements, can fully express his pain at the moment, but he still needs to suppress himself.
Zou Heng listened to his words, watched his movements, and even felt that what was happening now was a bit cruel to Nioh, but how could everything in this world be gentle to everyone.
When Nioh was speaking today, his original name for himself changed back. Unlike a few days ago, he had already begun to call himself “my king”.
This small change in the name of himself can actually show a lot of things. What Zou Heng noticed the most is that King Ren has already begun to have the kingdom of Yu that he wants to return to. Alienated, so he changed back to what he originally called himself.
Zou Heng doesn’t know what will happen next, but he is certain that after this incident, Nioh will undergo a complete change, it may be a transformation, or it may be a thorough change. Total depression.
However, according to Zou Heng’s current observation of King Ni, he feels that it is unlikely that King Ni will be depressed. He has not yet sought justice for the princess, nor will he allow himself to sink.
And what kind of changes a completely transformed King Niu will bring to this seemingly deep king, I am afraid that no one can say this, only time will prove everything.
After waiting outside for a while, Zou Heng seemed to hear a call from the room, so he opened the door and walked in.
After entering the door, Zou Heng found that King Ren had changed the clothes of the corpse of the princess, and stood quietly by the bed looking at the princess who was quietly there.
After some dressing up, the princess, who was originally blue, has now recovered a bit of her former appearance, with a little pink on her face, so that her complexion does not look much different from ordinary people, and she outlines it carefully. After that, the brows and red lips made her look more delicate.
There are not too many gold and silver jewelry on her body, but at least it is exquisite, and she put on a Chinese dress to match her, and she lay there, as if she was just asleep, quiet and beautiful.
“Master Zou, do you have any way to ensure that the princess’s body is not decayed? She is quite afraid of pain, so I don’t want to cremate her. She is so beautiful, and I can’t bear to let her face slowly decay, I think Let her stay the way she is now, as if she is asleep, occasionally I can take a look, that’s fine.” King Ren said with his back to Zou Heng.
“Well, there are actually many ways to keep the body from decay. I have a low cultivation level, and the methods I have mastered are not suitable for the princess. Your Royal Highness can ask Lao Liu for help. I think he should have a way. If it doesn’t work, those two protectors. Your Royal Highness Warlocks, they should know the magic techniques in this respect!” Zou Heng replied, he knew some ways to preserve the corpse, but that needed to damage the corpse, and he would not want to come to King Ren.
“It’s a pity, I trust you more, Master, if you can do this, I will be more at ease!” Niwang still didn’t look back, but after hearing Zou Heng finished, he seemed a little regretful and spoke again. Tao.
