CHAPTER XXXI

After Xu Huanqing found out, he secretly climbed over the wall and sneaked into Lu Qingmei's yard at night, wanting to take Lu Qingmei away and fly away. He knew that if he didn't take Lu Qingmei away, he would directly ruin Lu Qingmei's well-being and happiness in her life.

Xu Huanqing, who looks at the rules and regulations on weekdays, is finally willing to break the ring for Lu Qingmei and elope with Lu Qingmei, since then one of them is no longer a young lady from a big family, and the other is no longer a drama of singing on stage, just a pair of idle clouds and wild cranes in this world, living a life of drinking dew and eating vegetables at night.

Xu Huanqing thought that Lu Qingmei would agree to this request and fly away with him, but she didn't want Lu Qingmei to refuse bluntly, saying that she was willing to marry the man she had never met, and Xu Huanqing would forget about this relationship, just as if she had never met her Lu Qingmei.

Xu Huanqing only felt that he was careless, he looked up to Lu Qingmei's friendship with him too much, and he also took Lu Qingmei too seriously in his heart, so he was out of proportion, and even ran to ask Lu Qingmei, a young lady, to elope with a humble actor like herself.

He sighed in his heart, Lu Qingmei, a dignified young lady from a foreign family, is used to living a life of fine clothes and fine food, how could she elope with a play, live a life without a fixed place, and eat dregs and wild vegetables.

Xu Huanqing only said that Lu Qingmei played with her feelings.

Since then, Xu Huanqing has just been singing seriously, even if there is a girl who expresses her favor for him, he will ignore it, but when he has saved enough money, he left the original opera troupe, and took some homeless children whose parents died to learn and sing opera, and then established the Xu family class, and wandered between countries.

The day Lu Qingmei got married was very beautiful, with red makeup for ten miles, and the sound of suona shook the sky.

The procession marched out of the city gate and towards an unknown city in the distance, as if a crimson dragon was winding through the mountains.

Xu Huanqing didn't know that Lu Qingmei seemed to be ruthless, but in fact, Lu Qingmei just suppressed her emotions in the deepest part of her heart.

The pressure is so deep and heavy, even Xu Huanqing, who knows her best, can't see half of it.

Lu Qingmei knew that if she answered Xu Huanqing to elope, Lu Yuanwai would definitely let people hunt them down, how could she not know how extensive her father's connections were, and how could she not know that when the time came, there would be notices in cities large and small to arrest her and Xu Huanqing, they would not be able to escape, and when the time came, I was afraid that Xu Huanqing would die, and she would not be able to escape the fate of marrying that stranger. Instead of being the outlaw mandarin duck on Huangquan Road, it is better to be ruthless and break off this relationship with Xu Huanqing.

Lu Qingmei's deep affection for Xu Huanqing is no less than that of Xu Huanqing for Lu Qingmei, but Lu Qingmei doesn't want Xu Huanqing to be affected by herself, it's just that Lu Qingmei is more willing to be a villain for Xu Huanqing and do this ruthlessly.

Xu Huanqing didn't know that on the night of Lu Qingmei's cave room, Lu Qingmei committed suicide by seppuku with a dagger that had been prepared a long time ago. The red blood soaked through her bright red wedding dress, and there was a dark red superimposed on the bright red, and the corners of her mouth also left pale red blood.

She used her death to repay Xu Huanqing's affection and cut off the wealth and glory of this life.

The people in the city only said that Lu Qingmei was infatuated in this life, and she lost herself in such a beautiful year and dissipated her past.

Shaoguang is still the same, but Lu Qingmei has already gone, like a puff of smoke, and after a while, there is no trace of her, and no one remembers her.

She could have been the housewife of the house and enjoyed happiness and happiness, but she didn't want to belittle her own beauty like this, such an inscrutable fragrance and a red life.

Xu Huanqing is also infatuated, although he was rejected by Lu Qingmei, he still thinks about Lu Qingmei. Every time his Xu family class went to a place to perform, he asked if there was a young lady who married from the foreign family of Lu Yuanwai in Binzhou, but after searching for more than 30 years, there was no news, he only felt that Lu Qingmei was ruthless, and he refused to tell him where he married before he got married, so that his hard search was fruitless. But he didn't know that Lu Qingmei made plans after knowing the marriage contract, so he deliberately didn't tell Xu Huanqing where he would marry.

Even if Xu Huanqing is over half a hundred years old, every time she thinks of her confidante Lu Qingmei when she was young, she will still cry and grieve, and she only feels that a knife is stabbing her fiercely, leaving no spare strength to make herself breathless.

Even if Xu Huanqing is old enough to have goosebumps, the Lu Qingmei in his heart is still the girl who was wearing peach-colored clothes, combing her hair with clouds, and pinning a small red flower to look at her from a distance.

Thinking of the past, Xu Huanqing looked around him, the ground was covered with dirty dry straw, under the dry straw was wet mud, there were only a few lights in the huge cell that were not bright, the faint light had not yet covered the entire cell, the corners were still dark, the whole cell looked extremely dim, filled with a foul smell, flies were circling around in the cell, and from time to time rats jumped out of the small hole under the wall. He sneered, fortunately Lu Qingmei married someone else, otherwise he would have to feel sorry for him at this time.

I don't know when, two lines of tears have flowed from the corners of his eyes, which is the nostalgia of the middle-aged people for the happy times of youth.

The dreary palace is a shackle for Liu Yi, and it is full of sad memories of himself and Xu Yanjun. Since becoming an emperor, how much he has been forced and how much helpless. How many pairs of eyes are looking at him in this world, as long as he takes a wrong step, he and Xu Yanjun will fall into the abyss from which they will never recover. He originally thought that as long as he worked diligently, he and Xu Yanjun would live in peace, but he didn't want to reach such a point now.

In the face of such a palace, Liu Yi was a little depressed and breathless, so Liu Yi pretended to leave the palace.

In the Chunman Building, Liu Yi sat on the second floor by the window of the street in the market, drinking tea and eating snacks.

Chunmanlou is the most famous tavern in Yanjing City, not only has the famous cinnamon wine pepper syrup of the whole Yanguo, but also has the fragrant flowers, fruits and fish puree, of course, those small snacks in Chunmanlou are also good, often people come to Chunmanlou to order small snacks, instead of going to the special dim sum shop.

Liu Yi never drinks alcohol when he comes to Chunmanlou, but just eats small snacks, because when he and Xu Yanjun first got married, Xu Yanjun often dragged him here to eat small snacks, what hibiscus cake, peach blossom crisp and pea yellow are Xu Yanjun's favorites. And now, he is the only one, sitting on the second floor of the Chunman Building, eating snacks, reminiscing about the past.

There were a few drinkers at the next table, some of them were drunk, and they spoke so loudly that even Liu Yi, who was separated from them by two tables, could hear it clearly.

I heard a drinker stand up, slap his hands heavily on the table, and say as if he was not very sober: "Have you heard?" That Wudan ...... of Miaoyin Pavilion"

The other drinker at the same table was not as drunk as him, he was very sober, and said, "Are you talking about that Xu Xuan?" I heard that the martial arts are very high, and the red tassel gun makes it good. ”

The drinker just now immediately nodded, and his hands were still scribbling: "Yes, yes, yes, it's her!" This woman toasted and didn't eat and drink, Zheng Bancheng wanted to marry her as a concubine, she was unwilling, and now even Xu Huanqing, the head of the Xu family's class, is locked up in Yanjing Prison, not to mention how miserable it is...... "After speaking, he couldn't stop laughing, and he didn't know what to laugh again.

I only heard another drinker say: "I heard that the final trial will be held tomorrow, if Xu Jiaban doesn't give money, Xu Huanqing is very likely to be beheaded, Xu Yuan......"

The drinker paused, as if thinking about something again, before continuing: "As for that Xu Yuan, he should be directly married by Zheng Bancheng." It would have been good to agree directly a few days ago, but if you are really forced to marry tomorrow, life will not be easy. ”

The words of this drinker actually reminded Liu Yi of the woman who disguised herself as a man and fought the thief that day, indeed the woman's martial arts are also good, after all, she can subdue a thief with a dagger with her bare hands, and Liu Yi has not heard of any woman's martial arts in Yanjing. So, Liu Yi had a hunch in his heart that Xu Yuanyu was the woman.

That night, the lights in the dark cell were a little dim, and Xu Yuan ate some glutinous rice and lay down on the dirty dry straw to get ready for sleep. Her clothes were covered with mud and dirt, her hair was also very messy, and her originally white and tender face was now dirty, except for those eyes, she couldn't recognize it as Xu Yuan.

The servant led in a man, dressed in fine clothes, who did not match the filthy and messy cell, and the original stench of the cell around him touched the smell of the spices he used to iron his clothes, not incense, nor stinking, but a very special smell, but a very bad smell.

He stood here with a special eye-piercing, like a piece of gold falling into the mud.

That person was none other than Zheng Dewang.

When Xu Yuanyuan heard the movement, he opened his eyes slightly and glanced at it, and saw that the person was Zheng Dewang, and he didn't want to pay too much attention to it, so he lay there and pretended to sleep. Xu Huanqing, who was next to him, also saw Zheng Dewang coming, and was silent, just staring at him fiercely, like a hungry wolf hiding in the deep forest.

Then Zheng Dewang saw Xu Yuanxuan so down, and he was proud.

He knew that Xu Yuanyu must be pretending to be asleep, so he said mercilessly: "Little beauty, I know you are pretending to be asleep, I just came to inform you." If you are willing to be my concubine, I will not blame you in the past, and I will treat you well. If you don't, then don't blame me for not leaving you a way out. I've already done it there. From, you are my man. No, you're still my person, it's just that you won't take some innocent lives in vain. ”

The little beauty screamed really made Xu Xuan nauseous, as if something was about to gush out of her stomach, she frowned slightly, as if she was seen by Zheng Dewang, only to hear Zheng Dewang laugh and leave.

After Zheng Dewang left, Xu Huanqing crawled to the edge of the cell and called a few times. Xu Yuanwan knew that Xu Huanqing called her, so she didn't pretend to be asleep and crawled to the edge of the cell.

Xu Huanqing took Xu Yuan's hand and said, "Even if I die, I won't let you marry that bastard Zheng Dewang as a concubine." ”

When the word "Zheng Dewang" was mentioned, Xu Huanqing's voice was ruthless, as if a hungry wolf was biting a huge sheep bone and wanted to bite the sheep bone to pieces.
