Chapter 2609 Companion (24)
It's just that I didn't dare to say it due to some concerns.
So he told her not to be afraid of him and to be more relaxed.
He doesn't know how to eat people, let alone eat her.
"..." She lay on her side, slowly opened her eyes, and looked over quietly.
"Can I...ask?"
He hummed softly, indicating that it was okay.
There was no airs, and he didn't seem to mean to look down on her.
Communicate as equals, one-on-one.
Yun Si, who was hugging the quilt, stared at him without blinking and thought for a moment.
"Do you have a fiancée?"
Caught off guard, I asked a question that had nothing to do with it.
I originally thought she would ask some questions after arriving in Kyoto, but it turned out...
Huo Yuangong, who was lying on the floor, was silent for a moment.
Then, calmly replied: "No."
Yun Si raised the corners of her lips silently and was very satisfied with the expected answer.
"Then, you are the only one in the Huo family, and there are no other relatives?"
Huo Yuangong, who cherished words like gold, snorted.
"And you."
He said lightly again.
Meaning, she is also a member of the Huo family.
He recognized her.
She raised an eyebrow and her smile deepened.
"So, when I get to Kyoto, where should I live? Huo Mansion?"
No one else, just him and her?
The questions started coming one after another.
Huo Yuangong's tone was as usual and he replied: "There is no Huo Mansion, only the General's Mansion."
"If you are willing, you can live with me in the General's Mansion. If you don't want to..."
"I will find another house and I won't wrong you."
He really wanted to place her properly.
Probably because of his strong sense of responsibility, or because he wanted to take good care of her for his brother.
All in all, he was pretty good to her.
Tolerant and thoughtful.
Yun Si stared at him quietly for a while, pursed her lips.
"Is it inappropriate for me to live in the General's Mansion?"
"What if someone sees it and spreads it out..."
Huo Yuangong's voice was calm and calm: "So, do you want to consider changing your identity?"
"...Huh?" She raised her eyes suddenly.
I couldn't see his face clearly in the darkness, but I could only hear him pause and continue: "The place under the emperor's feet is different from the back hill."
It was rare for him to speak so many words. He did not rush or hurry, word by word, trying to make her understand.
"In Kyoto, being a widow is considered a symbol of bad luck."
"At a small scale, it's Ke Fu, but at a big scale, it can also be Ke Guo."
"Your Majesty is now enveloped in the gods and Buddhas, and he believes in the way of overcoming each other. If this reaches your Majesty's ears, and is further fueled by jealousy, I'm afraid then..."
"I can't protect you either."
"..." She was a little stunned.
Hold the quilt and slowly sit up.
"Is it possible that I will be beheaded just because I am a widow?"
…Which country’s law is this? ? ?
How come she'd never heard of it? ? ?
Is the emperor crazy? ? ?
Huo Yuangong said nothing and remained silent for a long time.
It seemed like it was acquiescence, and it seemed like it was giving her time to think about the trade-off.
Yun Si sat on the bed, a little confused.
"Then...then what do you mean by changing identities?"
"Could it be possible to change my identity to someone other than a widow?"
Huo Yuangong moved and seemed to be looking at her.
The eyes hidden deep in the darkness are quiet and soundless.
Like a poisonous snake that is very good at ambushes, it hisses and spits out snake bites.
The voice, which was already speaking at a slow pace, slowed down infinitely in the darkness.
Word for word.
"As long as you call yourself Miss Yun and not Mrs. Huo... it will be fine."
"I can arrange the rest."
