The meal was quite enjoyable.

After being full of wine and food, King Zhong accompanied the Queen Mother for a long time before leaving.

Of course, before saying goodbye, King Zhong arrived at Ru Xuan's door.

The inside of the door was a little dark, and it seemed like there was only one candle lit.

At this time, Ru Xuan, I don't know if she is reading at night like before?

King Chung hesitated for a moment, then stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

"Ru Xuan, are you there?" King Chung asked in a low voice.

There was no response in the room, only silence, and the silence around could be heard clearly by dropping a needle.

King Zhong knocked on the door again and asked, "Ru Xuan, are you there?" ”

Still no answer.

Yes, not there, or, asleep?

King Chung didn't know, and he didn't dare to rush in, so he had to wait at the door.

After a long time, the dark soul came over from the side, and after saluting King Zhong, he said respectfully: "Lord Wang, I just went to inquire below, and it was said that Miss Ru Xuan left Lening Palace after dinner, and she has not returned so far. ”

"Oh, the king knows." King Chung was a little disappointed.

The matter of accompanying the Queen Mother to dinner tonight should be a well-known thing in Lening Palace, did Ru Xuan go out at this time to avoid him?

A sense of loneliness drifted across King Zhong's face.

After a while, King Zhong slowly opened his mouth and said, "Let's go, go back to the palace." ”

"Yes." The dark soul agreed, followed behind King Chung, and slowly walked out.

As soon as he walked out of the main gate of Lening Palace, King Zhong and Ru Xuan bumped into each other.

"Ru Xuan!" Seeing Ru Xuan, King Zhong immediately said happily. walked two steps briskly and arrived in front of Ru Xuan.

Ru Xuan was stunned for a moment, and immediately made a big salute. Said: "Slave maid, participate in the prince." ”

It's still so rusty, and I'm afraid of this damn identity!

King Zhong's face was stunned, and he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to help Ru Xuan up: "No need to be polite, get up quickly." ”

Ru Xuan stepped back a little quietly, just broke free from King Zhong's outstretched hands, and stood up after respectfully saying "Thank you, Lord Xie". Hung his head.

King Chung's outstretched hands froze there, and it took a moment before he remembered to retract them.

"Where have you been? Why are you only coming back now? King Chung asked with concern.

"Slaves and maids are just going out for a walk." Ru Xuan replied, but still lowered her head and refused to look at King Zhong.

Actually, Ru Xuan had just come back from Gu Siling.

Tonight. She learned that King Zhong was going to accompany the Queen Mother to dinner. First, he wanted to avoid King Zhong, and second, he saw that the small kitchen had a lot of food today, so he took some for Gu Siling and Cuiliu to eat.

Gu Siling and Cuiliu are yellow and thin, and it is conceivable that they usually don't eat enough, and Ru Xuan can't bear it, so she often helps them.

Tonight, too.

I just didn't expect it to come back. But he met with King Zhong.

I knew that I should have stayed with Gu Siling for a while longer. Then accompany Cuiliu to do some needlework.

"Oh, yes." King Zhong said lightly.

"If the prince has nothing to do, there are still some trivial matters in the slave palace, just ......" Ru Xuan obviously wanted to leave.

"Ru Xuan, this king, will go to the front line in three days." King Zhong suddenly interrupted Ru Xuan's words and said indifferently: "This time, I don't know when I will be able to come back." ”

When King Zhong said this, he had a bit of a taste of anger.

He went this time with some danger, and he wanted to know if Ru Xuan still cared about his safety.

Ru Xuan obviously didn't expect this, and raised her head in surprise.

Seeing King Zhong's now thinner and thinner face, the smile on his face that was once as warm as jade was gone, replaced by a sense of vicissitudes.

For a while, Ru Xuan's psychology was quite complicated.

She has no affection for King Zhong, but because she knows Gu Siling's existence, Ru Xuan has an extra hurdle in her heart, and she can't get over it no matter what.

Now that she learned that King Zhong was going to the battlefield, the nightmare scene that had appeared twice suddenly appeared in Ru Xuan's mind, which made her very worried.

"All the way, take care." After a while, Ru Xuan spit out such a sentence from her mouth.

I finally saw a hint of concern on Ru Xuan's face.

King Zhong was overjoyed and said, "If this king can return safely this time, are you willing to marry this king?" ”

Ru Xuan was stunned for a moment.

King Chung's words were too straightforward and familiar.

Yes, when King Zhong was still in the world, he once said that when he returned that time, he was willing to marry the emperor, but he didn't expect his return to bring such an accident.

And this time, when King Zhong spit out such a sentence again, Ru Xuan's mood became even more complicated.

To say yes or not to say yes is a question, and a big one.

"When the prince returns, how about discussing this matter again?" In the end, Ru Xuan gave a fairly pertinent answer.

Rushing to the battlefield, life and death will become unknown, Ru Xuan didn't want to be loyal to the king and left with regrets, so she was distracted.

"It's fine." King Zhong smiled bitterly, but he still had a little peace of mind in his heart.

At the very least, it's much better than a direct rejection.

King Zhong looked at Ru Xuan's eyes, adding a little more gentleness.

At this time, it was April, the weather was not hot, and the night was slightly cool, and King Zhong clearly saw Ru Xuan, who was thinly dressed, shivering a little in the cold wind.

"It's cold outside, you go back early, and this king will come to see you tomorrow." King Chung said with concern.

"Thank you for your care, it's just that the slave and maid have had a lot of trivial matters recently, so I'm afraid I won't be able to see the prince." Ru Xuan politely refused.

"Okay, take care." King Chung smiled bitterly again.

"The slave and maid are gone." Ru Xuan said softly, and without waiting for King Zhong's permission, she got up and went to Lening Palace.

King Zhong watched Ru Xuan until she disappeared from sight.

Ru Xuan, wait for the king to come back.

King Chung clenched his fists tightly, gritted his teeth slightly, and strode forward.

The Dark Soul hurriedly chased after him.

King Chung returned to King Chung's mansion and was almost completely sleepless.

There are a lot of things that need to be prepared to go to the battlefield.

The affairs of the court, the strategic deployment, the front-line battle report, King Zhong sorted out everything in one night, and went to meet the emperor early the next morning.

"Do you have to leave today? Wouldn't it be a bit rushed? The emperor asked, his tone full of concern.

It was supposed to be three days later, that is, the day after tomorrow, but I didn't expect King Zhong to come to sue him today and set off today.

"The younger brother is worried about the war, Yelu Junhao has also returned to the Liao country, the Liao army will soon make a move, if it is late, the younger brother is afraid that the war will be missed." King Zhong replied earnestly.

Since this war is inevitable, it should have started earlier, and it could have ended earlier.

"Well, let it be." The emperor replied indifferently.

"Brother Chen, thank the emperor for his favor." King Zhong knelt down to the emperor and made a big salute, saying: "After the courtiers leave Beijing, the royal brother should take care of his body and take care of his mother." ”

"Yes, I see." The emperor closed his eyes and did not look at King Zhong.

He didn't dare to look at it, for fear that after seeing it, he would be reluctant to leave the loyal king.

"Brother, retire." Seeing this, King Chung got up and withdrew. (To be continued......)
