Chapter 8: Losing Luo'er
In the Ivy Spring Courtyard, it was quiet, and the whispers of insects sounded peacefully and quietly, separating the whistling and killing shouts in another world.
The short man in black staggered a few steps towards Li Luo, Li Luo was startled, and involuntarily took a step back, the short man in black was stunned, and finally couldn't hold on and slowly sat down on the ground, couldn't help wheezing, and blood seeped out with his breathing without hesitation.
The short man in black looked at Li Luo clearly, and said with a slow smile: "Childe, you are crying." ”
Li Luo muttered: "Luo'er, Luo'er, it's really you ......"
Luo Er pulled down the veil, and a face like a flower and jade was exposed in the cold night, pale without a trace of blood. Luo'er asked in a low voice, "Childe, do you hate me?" ”
"I ......" Li Luo seemed to have something blocked in his throat, and he couldn't speak for a long time.
Luo Er continued: "Childe, I hate this palace so much, but I can't give up on you. After saying that, he coughed, and blood foamed out of his mouth with the words.
Li Luo didn't know what to say, just looked at Luo'er blankly, and couldn't hold back the tears anymore.
Luo Er smiled softly and said: "Childe, it's okay, don't cry, I'm a damned person, and I should be relieved to survive these days, but I'm not by Childe's side anymore, what should I do when Childe is bored?" ”
Li Luo was at a loss and wanted to walk to Luo'er's side, but somehow, this body seemed to be a thousand pounds heavy, and he couldn't move half a step.
"When you are studying, you always have to sigh, Luo'er really wants to know why Childe sighs, I used to ask Childe, Childe is stingy, but he never told me, I'm dying, you just tell me." Luo's body became colder, but his eyes were clear and shy of the stars and moon behind the clouds.
Li Luo shook his head, bit his lip tightly, and did not speak.
Luo Er thought of something again, two blushes flew on her face, and she said intermittently: "I wanted to take my son to the place where I was born a long time ago, where there are flowers and grass, I can teach you to dig wild vegetables, go down to the river to fish, and there are many things to do without worries, or you can do nothing, quietly watch the dark, it's dark, it's more beautiful, really." ”
Li Luo finally broke through the depression in his throat and shouted: "I'm not going!" ”
Luo'er shuddered, her expression darkened, and she groaned: "Yes, that's right, the son cares about his family and country, how can he have time to do these idle things." ”
As he spoke, Luo'er's voice became lower and lower, "Childe, I have never begged you for anything, one last time, help me save grandpa, okay, I let him hide in the thatched hut in the backyard where I took Childe before, he is a good person, sometimes just like Childe, always lonely, Luo'er still wants to be able to take care of grandpa and grow old with him, but I don't count when I talk again." ”
Luo'er's voice was like nothing, and she could only hear muttering to herself, "I don't know if there are any stars in the sky that I watched with my son, Luo'er is reluctant, childe, you have to ...... well" The voice stopped abruptly before it was broken, and there was no more sound.
After a few breaths, Li Luo ran to Luo'er's side like crazy, threw himself into Luo'er's arms and screamed: "Luo'er, don't die, don't you die, okay, I promise you, I promise you everything, don't die, I promise you everything." It's just that Luo'er didn't hear back anymore, and her delicate body gradually became cold.
There was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard, and the group went straight to Changchun Courtyard, led by Prince Chun Li Chengye. As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw Li Luo holding a woman sitting on the stone path in the forest, and there was the body of an assassin next to him.
Su Xue was also behind the people, poked her head out and saw Li Luo, let out a low voice, hurriedly ran out, and grabbed Li Luo.
Li Luo slowly turned his head, saw that it was Su Xue, and said with a miserable smile: "Su Xue, Luo Er is dead." ”
"Little prince, little prince, don't be afraid, I'm still here." Su Xue hurriedly patted Li Luo's back, afraid that Li Luo would faint.
"I'm not afraid, I'm just very uncomfortable." Li Luo said in a low voice, put Luo'er on the ground with his light hand, the hand holding the hilt of the sword kept trembling, gritted his teeth, and pulled out the sword ruthlessly, causing Luo'er's body to tremble.
Li Luo took a deep breath, barely held back the tears welling up in his eyes, turned to Prince Chun and said, "Father, ......." ”
Prince Chun didn't speak, stepped forward and patted Li Luo lightly on the shoulder, and said in a deep voice: "Lou'er, don't say more." After speaking, he instructed the snow trail on the side, "You accompany the little prince back." ”
Su Xue responded, glanced at Luo'er who had returned to the underworld, and then looked at the long sword in Li Luo's hand, and gently pulled Li Luo up.
At this time, a tiger guard hurriedly walked over and whispered in Prince Chun's ear: "Lord Wang, the rest are all dead." ”
Prince Chun's eyes flashed, and he said to Li Luo: "Lou'er, go and say hello to your mother, go back and rest early, don't trespass tonight." ”
"Yes." Li Luo lost his mind and responded.
Li Luo and Su Xue walked to the gate of the courtyard, Li Luo turned around, and silently watched as the people of the palace carried Luo'er's body out.
The wind turned cold, blowing up countless residual leaves, reflecting the red everywhere, this night, life and death between the hands, as if the sky has not completely dispersed clouds, suddenly open and harmonize, people can not figure out the fixed number of it, but it is extremely fragile, and it can be broken with a wave of the hand.
Li Luo remembered the smile that remained on Luo'er's face, his heart was like a knife, and he clenched his fists tightly and didn't let go for a long time.
After a while, Li Luo was awakened by the sound of the palace guards searching around, and looked back to see Su Xue still standing beside him, his pretty face was blue, his delicate body was trembling, and he said gloomily: "Su Xue, let's go." ”
Su Xue nodded, and the two of them, together with several palace guards, were about to go to Juyong Pavilion, when they saw the maid Cui Moth in Luo's room hurrying over halfway, and shouted: "Little prince, why are you here, Madame is worried about it, and ordered the slave maid to find the little prince over." ”
Li Luo replied lonely: "Well, I'm fine." ”
"Madame was going to come out to look for her in person just now, but she was finally stopped by the slaves and maids, little prince, it was freezing dark this night, what should I do if I ran into an assassin."
Li Luo was depressed in his heart, waved his hand impatiently, Cui'e kept silent, and several people walked towards Juyong Pavilion in a muffled voice.
Li Luo arrived at Juyong Pavilion, Luo Shi couldn't say that he was worried again, looking at his mother's anxious appearance, and then thinking of Luo Er's death, Li Luo couldn't help but throw himself into Luo Shi's arms and cried loudly.
Luo's thought that Li Luo was frightened, so he was so busy comforting Li Luo, and sent the doctor to see if Li Luo was injured, and tossed for a long time, Li Luo couldn't hold on, and fell asleep in his mother's arms.
Li Luo gently dragged the brocade quilt to cover Luo's, and walked out lightly, stopping the maid who was guarding the outhouse, and came to the Changchun Courtyard alone.
The palace has been much calmer, like a dream, Li Luo pinched his palm, but knew that Luo'er would never return to him.
The past kept flashing in front of his eyes, Li Luo stood at the place where Luo'er fell, looking at it in a daze, as if there was still Luo'er's shadow here, and tears flowed silently.
