It was the fifth day of the emperor's death, and the concubines were also very tired, on this day, Zhaoyun had just returned to Ninghuan Palace, and was about to rest, but he heard a rumor that the concubine was coming.

Zhaoyun hurriedly greeted him, but saw that Concubine Shu's eyes were full of tears and her expression was sad, Zhaoyun invited Concubine Shu to the house, and persuaded her with kind words: "Sister, don't be too sad, the emperor is gone, people can't be resurrected after death, it's better to mourn and change!" ”

Concubine Shu and Zhaoyun sat opposite each other, signaling with their eyes, Zhaoyun knew that Concubine Shu had something to say to him, so he sent the palace people who were waiting down, and Bai Zhi closed the door.

Concubine Shu lamented at this time: "Our sisters said this in private, the emperor and us don't have much affection, and we are just making a show of sadness." In fact, I'm so sad, just for one thing, that is, Liu Zhaoyi, she, she is also a person with a hard life, why did the dormitory catch fire, just, it's gone, I heard that most of Liu Zhaoyi's dormitory was burned down, and the palace people worked hard to find it, but they couldn't find Liu Zhaoyi's body, only vaguely saw the charred jewelry, it can't be burned to ashes, it's a pity that even the ashes are incomplete. ”

Zhaoyun didn't feel too sad, but asked lightly, "What did the queen say?" ”

Concubine Shu wiped her tears with a handkerchief and sighed: "The emperor's funeral is naturally the top priority, where does the queen take care of Liu Zhaoyi, who has a low status, just let the Ministry of Rites act simply according to the previous concubine funeral system." There is also Concubine Ping's funeral ahead, so I can't say that it is hasty. The deep palace was already lonely and suffering, and Liu Zhaoyi was gone, and there was no one to say his own words. I'm afraid it will be even more difficult in the future. ”

Zhaoyun continued to persuade: "Sister don't be sad, Liu Zhaoyi her, it's good for her to go, and save herself from suffering in the palace." ”

Concubine Shu sighed with emotion: "What my sister said is also true, without the emperor, we are just living like walking corpses in this palace, it is really boring, it is not worth looking for death, and it is difficult to live." ”

Zhaoyun also sighed and said lightly: "Who can say what will happen in the future?" The days are still long. There may be a turning point. ”

Concubine Shu thought that Zhaoyun's words were just to comfort herself, and thought that she had a daughter under her knees, but Zhaoyun had nothing, and it was even more difficult for her to survive the years in the palace than herself. He could only sigh in a low voice: "I hope." The days are still long. It's always going to get by. ”

Inn.

Xu Lin took Liu Wan'er out of the capital and went all the way south, but now he has arrived in Jinling. Tired for several days, he had to rent a room in the inn for a temporary rest.

"Xu Lin, you say, will they find out about us and send someone to investigate?" Although Liu Wan'er escaped from the palace, she was still worried.

Xu Lin held Liu Wan'er's hand and comforted gently: "Wan'er, don't worry, it's okay, now that the emperor has died, I think they can't take care of investigating us, besides, the idea you came up with is wonderful, and they won't find out, only when you have died in the fire." Moreover, I have already left a note for the steward of the Imperial Hospital, saying that I am resigning from the position of Imperial Doctor, and they will naturally not take such a lowly person as you and me to heart. ”

At this point, Xu Lin felt that something was wrong, and added: "Of course, in my heart, you are like a pearl, and it is my Xu Lin's lifelong luck to get you." ”

Liu Wan'er leaned on Xu Lin's shoulder and said in a low voice: "I have lived in vain for more than 20 years, when I met you, my life can be regarded as having a glimmer of brilliance, from now on, we will live a good life, and when the situation stabilizes, we will find a place, and then settle down, do some small business, and live the happiest life." ”

Xu Lin thought for a while, and then asked, "Wan'er, then where do you want to go?" ”

Liu Wan'er looked up at Xu Lin, saw Xu Lin looking at herself gently, and said softly: "I want to go to Dali, Yunnan, I heard that the scenery there is picturesque, the four seasons are like spring, the people there are simple and kind, and the snacks there are delicious. ”

Xu Lin stroked Liu Wan'er's hair, her tone was full of pampering, and she smiled and said, "Okay, we will go wherever Wan'er wants, we will rest here for a day or two, and then we will leave for Dali." ”

The two of them are you and me, tender and sweet, but unexpectedly someone slammed the door, Xu Lin listened to this strength, it was not like the actions of the shopkeeper, he was vigilant, and shouted in a deep voice: "Who is outside the door?" ”

Hearing this, the people outside the door actually broke into the door directly, only to see two men walking in, one in green clothes, the other in coarse brown clothes, Xu Lin was shocked when he saw the two coming. But I heard the man in Tsing Yi say: "Hulu Xu Lin, you are so bold, your father trusts you so much, but I didn't expect you to be obsessed with enemy women halfway through, and forget your big responsibility, you still don't admit your mistake?" ”

Liu Wan'er was also very shocked, turned her head to look at Xu Lin, and asked in surprise: "Hulu Xu Lin, you, who are you?" ”

The man in Tsing Yi sneered: "You woman still don't know, then I'll tell you, and let you understand that he is the third prince of Rouran, Hulu Xu Lin." He lurked in your country to kill your king, and now that mission is complete, there is an even more important task waiting for him to complete, but he has forgotten who he is for you. I have long heard that women in the Central Plains are used to being foxy, and sure enough, I will kill you today and break his mind. ”

Saying that, the man in Tsing Yi took out the long sword in his hand and was about to kill Liu Wan'er, but unexpectedly, Xu Lin stood straight in front of Liu Wan'er, and said in a firm tone: "If you want to kill, kill me first, with me, you don't want to hurt her at all." ”

The man in Tsing Yi shook his head, sighed, and said: "Obsessed, you are really obsessed, you are the third prince of Rouran, my third brother, but, look at it, what are you doing, entangled with the woman of the enemy king, you are really disappointed by the second brother, you, you go back with me immediately, and admit your mistakes in front of your father." ”

Xu Lin said firmly: "Second brother, I won't go back, I, I want to live with Wan'er for the rest of my life, I don't care about anything else, what throne, what revenge, now, I just need to be with my beloved." ”

When the man in Tsing Yi heard this, he became more and more angry, but he saw Xu Lin step forward and say something to the man in Tsing Yi, but the man in Tsing Yi was unusual, turned around and gave a sword to the entourage next to him, and the entourage fell to the ground and died before he knew what was going on. The man in Tsing Yi stabbed another sword into his shoulder. Immediately, blood flowed from his shoulder.

Liu Wan'er didn't know what was going on, Xu Lin took Liu Wan'er's hand and hurriedly said, "Wan'er, let's go quickly, if we stay any longer, we will die." ”

With that, Xu Lin pulled Liu Wan'er and ran downstairs quickly, and hurriedly went out of the door. (To be continued.) )
