369. overheard
Hearing the emperor's order, the guards had no choice but to stop their attacks and retreat to the side.
Li Rui stood in the middle of the clearing, covered in blood, but still looked proud and upright.
He looked at Su Junchu and said slowly, word by word: "I couldn't kill you today, it's because my skills are not as good as others." But if you let me go, I'll come back to you again! The account between me and you will never end here! ”
Zong Hua walked to Su Junchu's side and said eagerly: "Your Majesty, this person can't let go!" Let it go! ”
"Let him go!" Su Junchu spit out these three words coldly, looked at Li Rui again and said, "This time, I let you go because of Niannian." The next time, if you want to go, it won't be so easy. ”
Li Rui walked to Niannian's side at this time: "Niannian, follow me!" Do you still want to stay here with this usurping emperor? I'll take you to your brother. ”
"My brother?" Nian Nian was stunned.
"Yes, you have a twin brother, and he is my sworn brother. Xiao Rou is with him now, he has been looking for you all the time, come with me. Li Rui said, holding Niannian's hand and leaving.
At this time, Su Junchu was furious, Nian Nian was his treasure, how could he tolerate someone in front of him and wanted to take Nian Nian away.
Regardless of the injury to his right arm, Su Junchu jumped forward, stopped them, and pulled Nian Nian from Li Rui's hand: "Li Rui! Don't go too far! Letting you go is already the greatest grace, you still have to take Niannian away, don't even think about it! ”
Nian Nian hurriedly said: "Li Rui, you hurry up and go, go buy some anti-wound medicine to cover the wound." I'm ...... now I am married to the third brother, I can't go with you like this. You say I have a twin brother? Could it be Liu Yangfeng? I will see him again next time I have a chance. ”
Li Rui nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, Niannian, then you take care of yourself, there will be a period later!" With that, he jumped out of the palace wall.
Zong Hua rushed over, looked at Su Junchu's bleeding right arm and said, "Your Majesty, you are injured, the ministers are late to escort you, and you deserve death!" I beg the emperor to forgive me. ”
Su Junchu didn't pay attention to him, but stared at Nian Nian tightly and said, "You didn't hesitate to die in order to save him?" ”
"If he were to kill you, I'd do the same." Nian Nian said excitedly, she hadn't recovered from the tense atmosphere just now.
"It's different! I am your husband, the one who is destined to guard and accompany you for the rest of your life! But who is he? What is his relationship with you? In order to get him out, you can't even want your life? He threatened me with death! Did You Know? I could have killed him with that sword, but when you shouted next to me, I was distracted, so that he would stab him in the right arm. If I hadn't dodged quickly, his sword might have stabbed me in the heart today, and I might have fallen here now! Su Junchu raised his right arm, which was still bleeding, and there was fire in his eyes.
Seeing that Su Junchu's injury was not light, Nian Nian didn't care to say much, held Su Junchu's injured arm, and said to Zong Hua: "Quickly pass on the imperial doctor and heal the emperor's injuries." ”
Zong Hua said: "I have already called someone to go." ”
Nian Nian looked at Su Junchu and said softly, "What are you angry about?" Li Rui is also my friend, how can I watch him die? As I said earlier, I don't want anything to happen to any of you! ”
"Friends? He still wanted to take you away just now, Niannian, if I hadn't stopped you, would you really want to go with him? Su Junchu's voice was even more flaming.
"I didn't really want to go with him, believe it or not!" Nian Nian said angrily, let go of Su Junchu's arm, and stepped aside.
Both of them were on fire in their hearts, and neither of them paid any more attention to the other.
At this time, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the thin rain just now had turned into a bean-sized raindrop.
Su Junchu saw Nian Nian standing stubbornly in the rain, her hair was stained on her face, and her clothes were already wet from the rain.
In his heart, he was both pity and anger, and walked over and pulled Nian Nian into the Aiyu Palace with his uninjured hand, and said in a commanding tone: "Come in first!" Don't just worry about gambling and getting into trouble. ”
Nian Nian pouted and said, "Don't worry about it! ”
A imperial physician walked in under the leadership of the guards, helped Su Junchu clean the wound and bandage it, and retreated.
In Nianchu Palace, only Niannian and Su Junchu were left, and their hearts were not calm.
Su Junchu silently watched Nian Nian, while Nian Nian sat under the lamp and thought about his thoughts, neither of them spoke, and they seemed very quiet for a while.
After a while, Su Junchu pulled Nian Nian and walked to the edge of the bed and sat down: "How long are you going to be in a daze?" Don't sleep anymore? ”
Nian Nian thought for a while and said, "Third brother, I want to tell you something solemnly today. ”
"What's the matter?" Su Junchu looked at Nian Nian quietly, expecting that she might have to talk about Li Rui.
Sure enough, Nian Nian opened his mouth and said: "Promise me, no matter what, don't kill Li Rui, and don't kill Li Mo." ”
"Isn't it okay for them to kill me?" Su Junchu asked with a thin anger.
"I will also persuade them, I hope you don't kill and kill!" Nian Nian bit her lip and said.
"You want to persuade them? Where else are you going to meet them? Su Junchu clenched Nian Nian's cold little hand and glared at her.
I was speechless for a while, and I didn't know what to say. However, she was really worried that Su Junchu and Li Mo and Li Rui would fight to the death again one day.
"Niannian, didn't you hear what Li Rui said when he left? He said he'd come back to me, and if he didn't kill me this time, he wouldn't just leave it at that. If I can only live one between them and them, who do you choose? Su Junchu lowered his head and stared into Nian Nian's eyes and asked in a low voice.
"Third brother, why does this have to be like this? You and Li Rui Li Mo, no matter who dies, I will suffer for the rest of my life. I don't want to see you kill each other...... Third brother, I beg you, don't kill them, and don't be their enemies anymore. Nian Nian hugged him and cried.
"Nian Nian, okay, okay, I promise you, as long as they don't mess with me......" Nian Nian cried, Su Junchu's heart suddenly softened.
His voice softened, and he hugged Nian Nian while whispering to comfort her.
Nian Nian still shed tears, her heart was full of sorrow, and she couldn't tell where this sadness came from. However, she just couldn't take it easy.
"Don't cry, my good thoughts. I know it's scared of you today, it's my fault, can I apologize? As long as you stop crying. Su Junchu gently kissed Niannian's tears, helped her take off her shoes, and hugged her to lie on the bed.
Seeing that Nian Nian still didn't speak, Su Junchu smiled again and said, "Look, I was injured today, obviously you should take care of me, but now you still have to ask me to help you take off your shoes." ”
Nian Nian replied in a low voice: "I didn't ask you to help take off your shoes, you were willing." ”
"yes, yes, I want to. Niannian, it is my greatest happiness to be able to take care of you like this forever. Su Junchu hugged her even tighter, and whispered in her ear: "So...... Do you want me to take off your clothes? ”
As he spoke, his lips were imprinted on Niannian's lips. His hand also gently slid into Nian Nian's thin clothes, and while kissing her, he wantonly caressed her soft and plump Xiuru.
"What are you doing...... Can't you settle down when you're all injured? Nian Nian pushed his hand away, not understanding why men were still in such a mood at such a time.
"You're by my side, I can't be separated...... Besides, I only had an arm injury...... Niannian, if you want to...... I'm willing to sacrifice myself to give you happiness. Su Junchu laughed playfully and covered her to suppress her.
"I don't want to, I don't want to ......" Nian Nian blushed and screamed.
However, this call sounds so coquettish, almost like a cat is coquettish.
The outer garment slipped off gently, and the underwear had fallen off...... Nian Nian let out a mesmerizing moan, and the two people's bodies pressed tightly together......
In the middle of the night, Nian Nian woke up from his sleep. The lingering warmth of passion was still there, but she felt that there was no figure beside her who hugged her to sleep.
She subconsciously stretched out her hand, wanting to find Su Junchu's body, however, she touched the bed all over and couldn't find it.
Nian Nian's heart was stunned for a moment, and slowly opened his eyes. On the bed, there is indeed no Su Junchu.
Ever, when she woke up, Su Junchu always held her gently in his arms. Today, what about others? It's only Shen Shi now, it's still early for the early dynasty, where did he go?
After a moment of frustration in the darkness, Nian Nian got up from the bed and sat up.
Her gaze searched the empty dormitory for a long time, and her heart was strange and dazed. Then she leaned over and picked up the clothes that were scattered all over the place, remembering the passionate entanglement with Su Junchu just now, her face was hot and hot.
Slowly and methodically, he put on his clothes one by one, and tied his loose hair with a large red silk ribbon. Nian Nian got out of bed and walked to the door and opened the door of the dormitory.
"Queen Mother, why are you up?" Zong Hua was actually stationed outside the gate of Nian Chu Palace, and when he saw Nian Nian coming out, he saluted and asked in surprise.
"What about the emperor?" Nian Nian looked at the hazy dark night, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart.
"Your Majesty...... In the Temple of Nourishing Hearts. Zong Hua hesitated for a moment and replied softly.
Nian Nian glanced at Zong Hua, whose expression was unnatural, a few times strangely, and felt more and more puzzled and uneasy.
She couldn't help but walk in the direction of the Heart Cultivation Palace, and Zong Hua immediately stopped Nian Nian's steps, blocking and saying, "Queen Mother, the emperor is discussing important matters with several adults, and he has instructed no one to go in and disturb him. ”
Nian Nian glanced at Zong Hua coldly, and reminded him with his eyes not to meddle in his affairs and pay attention to his identity.
Coming into contact with Nian Nian's warning eyes, Zong Hua was silent for the moment, and froze in embarrassment as she headed towards the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Nian Nian walked lightly on the cold and dark corridor in the palace, and saw from a distance that there were no big lights in the Heart Cultivation Palace, only a few faint candles swaying and flickering gently in the dark night, and there were only a few thin candles burning there.
She continued to walk strangely, and when she reached the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, she vaguely heard the voices of several people talking inside.
Nian Nian listened carefully, there were Su Junchu's, Xia Qing's, and a few voices that Nian Nian was not very familiar with, which might be the newly promoted minister of the Ning Dynasty.
Nian Nian couldn't help frowning, and in the middle of the night, he didn't even have a big candlelight. Su Junchu and the others, what are they talking about mysteriously here?
"Did you find him?" Su Junchu's voice was very cold.
Nian Nian secretly became even more frightened, who did he find? Li Mo? Li Rui? Or someone else?
"Back to the emperor, the minister took people to check all the inns in the capital, but they didn't find where Li Rui was for the time being. However, now that he is injured, the minister has ordered people to watch and wait around the various pharmacies in the capital, and if there are any suspicious people who come to get medicine to heal their wounds, they will be arrested immediately. Xia Qing replied.
"I'm afraid that he is not so easy to be caught by you, if he can't be caught, what are you going to do?" Su Junchu's deep voice.
"As long as the emperor agrees, if Li Rui's traces are found, even if he can't be caught alive, the minister will order someone to shoot him to death on the spot, so as to eliminate the emperor's henchmen." Xia Qing said.
Without hearing Su Junchu's answer, the hall suddenly fell silent for a moment.
And Nian Nian's whole body was cold, and her ten fingers were tightly clasped together, she wanted to hear what Su Junchu said.
However, Su Junchu never spoke. He had just promised Nian Nian not to kill Li Mo and Li Rui, and now he ...... The heart of the thought couldn't help but sink deeper and lower.
At this time, another unfamiliar voice sounded: "Your Majesty, according to the subordinates arranged by the minister in the south, Li Mo has also left Peach Blossom Mountain in the past two days. Seem...... He and Miss Su also separated, and the two were not together again. ”
"Oh? If Li Mo came back, his danger would be much greater than Li Rui's. Su Junchu sounded like a faint tone.
"Yes, therefore, Emperor Jian should immediately order a wanted encirclement and suppression of Li Mo. If Li Mo does not die, there will be endless troubles, and the Ning Dynasty will not be stable. Xia Qing was talking.
A nameless anger rose in Nian Nian's heart, and he didn't want to go out, standing in front of the door of the Heart Cultivation Palace, looking directly at the few people in the hall who were talking secretly, and said softly: "General Xia is so ruthless, Li Mo and Li Rui, at least they are still your former masters." Come to think of it, they didn't treat you badly before. Now that you're in power, you want to do this to them! ”
The few people sitting in the room were slightly stunned, and looked at Nian Nian with cold faces.
Because Nian Nian had hardly met with the ministers in public, a new courtier, who was a little older, did not know her, so he shouted and asked, "Who is so bold?" Dare to eavesdrop on the emperor's deliberations, this is a serious crime! ”
Xia Qing called out in a daze: "Queen Mother, you are here." ”
Su Junchu didn't expect Nian Nian to find this place at this time, and walked over and grabbed her hand: "Nian Nian, why don't you sleep well in the dormitory?" We're talking about something, and it's not the right place for you to come. ”
