Chapter 12: I'm Sorry

In the Daxing Palace, there are only two people in the huge palace, the emperor and Yang Lin, since Yang Lin returned to Chang'an, the emperor's bedroom has come to the palace many times, they seem to be a pair of close brothers as before.

"It seems that it is really bad to stay in this palace for a long time." Yang Lin smiled a little sarcastically. is also in the waning mountains, and he gives people the feeling that he is a hundred times more spiritual than his imperial brother, "The battlefield that is accustomed to seeing bloody wind and rain is not as terrible as this palace after all." ”

The emperor still closed his eyes tightly, no one could guess what he was thinking, he thought that he was a merry man by nature, since he saw Liu Yu, but he put away his flower intestines and concentrated on being a saint, and his brother heard the news of Liu Yu's death, if he didn't rebel, he would be in pain, but he didn't want him to talk and laugh the next day, and come to ask for peace, which is no different from ordinary people. He was able to win the world but couldn't guess Yang Lin's thoughts, he was thinking, and someone outside the door hurriedly announced: "General Mu asks to see." ”

Before the words fell, there was a sound of fighting outside the door, and after a while, the vermilion door was kicked open, Mu Qingyang's eyes were full of scarlet, and he actually carried a sword by his side.

"Bold!" Even if he is old, he is also an old man, with ambitions of thousands of miles, and he will never allow anyone to spread wild in his world, "Mu Qingyang, you want to rebel?" ”

Mu Qingyang drew his sword and ignored the emperor's orders, but in the blink of an eye, he was surrounded by the forbidden army, and the soldiers looked at the generals they loved and supported, and hesitated and did not dare to step forward.

"I'm afraid that the general came to the old man to ask for the sword, although it is good to ask the sword, if there is a hurt idea, I am afraid that it will hurt the heart of the fourth princess."

Speaking of Ruyue, Mu Qingyang's expression hesitated for a moment, and he finally ignored it, it was her imperial uncle.

At the moment of hesitation, Yang Lin slashed with a thunderous force, he subconsciously raised his sword to resist, but he didn't want to hurt Yang Lin by mistake, he was startled, hurriedly let go, and the sword fell to the ground.

A smile actually flashed on Yang Lin's face: "In this world, no one can drink tea quietly, if you pity the red face and tears, the hero will die." Qing Yang, no one in this world can resist your sword, but you can't resist the laughter of a person. ”

"Princess, princess, wake up quickly-" Ruyue's back was filled with pain one after another, and her eyes gradually became clear, reflecting Donghua's anxious face, "I saw General Mu walking towards the palace where the princes lived with a murderous face—he still had a sword, how could he be allowed to bring a sword there-" Ruyue's head was dizzy, and she ordered Donghua to get a cup of strong tea and force herself to drink it, so that she could barely stand up and hurriedly rush to the main palace of Daxing.

When she rushed there, the palace was already in a mess, the emperor who was sitting in danger, Yang Lin who had a sword wound on his face, and Qing Yang, who was held down by a group of soldiers.

Yang Lin didn't have a superfluous expression on his face, but sighed with a smile: "If it's really a hero who came out of a teenager, galloping on the battlefield for most of his life, and was actually injured by a junior after the worst, the legend that the one who wins the poplar wins the world seems to be not groundless——"

Ruyue hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down: "Uncle Huang is a pillar of a country, and his bearing is extraordinary, so naturally he will not meet with the juniors, and please forgive Uncle Huang——"

"Avenging my father is also a matter of course." Yang Lin gently lifted Ruyue up, "I think General Mu's approach is understandable-"

"But what is the imperial uncle doing-" Ruyue was a little puzzled, and a eunuch hurriedly came in to report as she spoke, presenting a letter: "Your Majesty, this was found by searching Lord Lu's room-" He paused and continued, "The letter is for the fourth princess-"

For her? Ruyue was surprised, it seemed that it was a desperate letter, why was it not for Qingyang, but it was for her? The emperor's expression was even more solemn, and Ruyue naturally didn't dare to step forward to pick it up, only to see her father speak: "Submit it." ”

The eunuch respectfully presented it. Every time her father looked at it, his face became more heavy, and no one in the palace dared to speak, and the atmosphere seemed to freeze.

The emperor's hand has been trembling, it is indeed a sealed letter, Lu Youyi said it clearly in the letter, the rumors are all because of him, he just met Liu Yu and Yang Lin together, and the two behaved decently, and there was nothing improper, but he didn't want his words to be heard by people with intentions, so it became evidence. He kept praying for Ruyue's forgiveness, but he finally couldn't bear the guilt in his heart and hanged himself.

He looked at Mu Qingyang, his eyes were on fire, full of anger to avenge his father, his mind appeared his Xiaoyue's smiling expression, she called him happily: "Father!" He suddenly felt like he was going to breathe. Liu Yu. If it's really my fault, please spare my little moon.

The only preservation is dismantling. If he has been thinking of avenging his father all his life, how can he love her well, if she knows that it was his father-in-law who killed her mother, how can she smile like a flower, thinking about this. He stood up suddenly, with a look of anger: "Put Mu Qingyang in the heavenly prison for me, and no one is allowed to visit without my permission." ”

Ruyue had never seen his father make such a big fire in his memory, his face was pale, and the hand holding the letter was trembling, and Ruyue could vaguely see tears in the corners of his eyes.

She couldn't care so much, and stood in front of Qing Yang: "Father, father, please think twice-Ruyue-Ruyue can't live without Qingyang-"

He didn't feel the slightest emotion, and his face was cold: "What are you doing in a daze?" Take the princess away and take Mu Qingyang away. ”

Ruyue was forcibly pulled away by the eunuch, no matter how she asked, the emperor kept his back to her, and did not look back, Mu Qingyang was taken away by the forbidden army step by step, he suddenly had a premonition that he was going to lose Ruyue, and when he walked to the door of the main hall, he suddenly turned around, and even he couldn't figure out the reason, and said in an almost inaudible voice: "I'm sorry." ”

The glimmer of the morning sun shone on his face, it seemed so unreal, his hair was a little cold and draped over his shoulders, his face was a sadness that Ruyue had never seen before, he was like the snow that spring was coming, and he had no choice but to leave, his eyes carried so much attachment, reluctance and helplessness that Ruyue didn't understand.

Ruyue looked at his back, and only when she left did she move her gaze to her father who had been facing away from her in the main hall, Yang Lin walked over: "Your father needs to be quiet, kneel down." ”

She vaguely heard her father's sobbing, as heartbreaking as Qing Yang cried like losing his father-in-law, as helpless as if she had lost the most precious thing.

At that moment, all her words of begging her father for mercy stopped on his lips, and he sat on the highest position in the whole world, calling for wind and rain, but it seemed that he suddenly realized that he had never gotten what he wanted, how sad.

Walking out of the palace with Yang Lin, Yang Lin suddenly spoke: "Lu Youyi committed suicide-"

"What is the imperial uncle for-"

"But if he hadn't seen me, his guilt shouldn't have worsened—" Yang Lin still looked light-hearted, and turned his head to ask Ruyue, "Has he been good to you all these years?" ”

"It's good—" Ruyue was a little confused.

"Ruyue—" he spoke again, "I don't know what Lu Dao is for, I suddenly regret going to see him that day—"If I let it go, I'm afraid there will be no follow-up, and you won't be separated from each other."

"Uncle Huang-" Ruyue didn't know what to say, "The royal people are like this, they do some involuntary things every day in order to survive, and when they really survive, they find that those who are really true to themselves are no longer there, and they can only live alone in the end-so, don't think about avenging Ruxing, or to explore the cause of Lu Youyi's death-the less you know the secrets in this palace, the happier you will be-"

After he finished speaking, he no longer gave Ruyue any chance to answer, turned around and left, Ruyue looked up at the rising sun, and the palace returned to its usual busyness, without the slightest change because of the death of the two people. She sighed and turned back to the palace.

The autumn wind was howling, and the leaves were hovering in the air one by one, flying, and finally falling. It's like things that should have come a long time ago, and no one is destined to stop them.

After all, her eldest brother was abolished by her father, she didn't know how many people in the Ludao Palace were sad, how many people were happy, and when she received the holy decree, Ruyue was no longer as ignorant as before, and knelt on the ground with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes to receive the decree. After the father-in-law left, she went to the palace on purpose, and the East Palace in the former courtyard was also changed to a Shuren village by her father, and her royal brother was imprisoned in this Shuren village and even his daily food was restricted. When she entered, the imperial brother was cooking a bowl of thick porridge under the old osmanthus tree, and Yun'er stood beside him, looking at him with a satisfied expression. Osmanthus flowers are in full bloom, and the courtyard is full of fragrance, and occasionally osmanthus flowers fall on Yun'er's bun, and the royal brother will get up to help her remove it carefully, in exchange for her smile.

Ruyue stood beside the vermilion carved wooden pillar and watched for a long time, but in the end she didn't bother. Maybe you are suitable to be born in an ordinary family, marry an ordinary woman, wish to win the heart of one person, and the white head will not be separated, this is your greatest wish, which has nothing to do with fame and fortune and politics.

On the day of Ruxing's funeral, paper money flew all over the palace, and a group of people chased after the hearse and pretended to cry very sadly. She stood on the high wall of Xuanwu Gate, and watched the hearse get farther and farther away, and her father stipulated that all royal children were not allowed to wear red or hold wedding banquets for two months. This is the greatest respect he gives to his little daughter.

Qingyang has never been released, the emperor even ordered that Ruyue was not allowed to see him, she knelt in the Zhonghua Hall every time, a kneel is a day, and she has not moved her father, and it is always Yang Lin who comes out to help her with a helpless face, she vaguely feels that everything is and
