The eldest princess had ever been disobeyed like this, and only sneered, "Who knows what kind of mind you have, no matter how much this matter is your turn to point fingers there." ”

Ruan Lu is the eldest princess's own son in the end, and even his temperament is very similar.

saw him looking at Fu Yunhuang with a pair of sarcastic eyes, "I only ask you, are you really willing to be your brother-in-law?" ”

Fu Yunhuang didn't think that Ruan Lu would blatantly ask himself, and he was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer, after all, he couldn't avoid this matter.

She saw that everyone's eyes fell on her, so she had to grit her teeth and say, "Scholar Shi is a dragon and a phoenix, and he is also a match for Huan'er, and he will definitely raise his eyebrows and grow old together in the future." ”

Ruan Lu sneered, and then looked at Lian Zhi'er, who was eating mutton, "What about you?" ”

Lian Zhi'er only felt a mouthful of mutton choking in his throat, so uncomfortable, seeing that he suddenly attacked himself, he hurriedly said, "What the princess said is right." ”

"You're all here to talk nonsense." Ruan Lu looked at his mother with a strange anger on his face, "If you marry Huan'er to Shi Ran, don't you send her to the nunnery with her head." ”

The eldest princess was furious, "Huan'er is also your sister, you can say such a thing, get out of me immediately." ”

Lian Zhi'er looked at a good meal. The mother and son suddenly turned their faces, just to eat and have fun, just thinking about not implicating themselves.

And at this moment, he saw Ruan Lu's face gloomy and said, "Don't leave yet?!" ”

The crowd was puzzled, not knowing who he was talking to.

And at this moment, I saw him arrogantly pulling Lian Zhi'er's sleeves, only going out of the back, and leaving everyone in front of him.

Lian Zhi'er staggered along. He was still chewing the mutton in his mouth, and after a while, he was filled with cold wind in his stomach.

"Walk faster, can't you still have two feet in the house?" Ruan Lu's face was already full of impatience.

"You are angry with the eldest princess, why bother to pull me, now I have offended the eldest princess in vain." Lian Zhi'er was also full of grievances.

"Do you think your mother likes you? Do you think she doesn't know about the grievances you've suffered over the years? I'm afraid that after a while, as soon as the son of this world leaves, they will all be angry on your head. Ruan Lu snorted coldly.

Lian Zhi'er also understood in his heart, but the arm he was pulling seemed to be about to break, so he quickly asked, "Where are we going?" ”

Ruan Lu suddenly stopped, and a pair of dark eyes fell on Lian Zhi'er's face, "I really want to take you and Ah Kong out of here." ”

******

Shifu is not as extravagant as the eldest princess's mansion, but now in the middle of summer, it is also full of green bamboos, pines and cypresses, and it is more solemn and majestic.

Shi Taifu sat on a chair in the main room, and there were many antiques, calligraphy and paintings on the table beside him, all of which were priceless things.

He looked embarrassed at this time, and when he saw Ruan Lu walking in from outside, he took a deep breath. I just feel that there is no face.

"Shi Ran, these are the things they used to honor me, and now they have been taken by the people of the Eldest Princess's Mansion to take the evidence."

Shi Taifu's face was pale, he was also a person who had achieved fame, and he was the emperor twice, but his partial love of calligraphy and painting was like his life, and now he has caused such a big disaster.

Shi Ran spoke indifferently for a long time, "Tomorrow, my son will accompany you into the palace, what is the responsibility, my son is willing to be punished." ”

Mrs. Shi said hurriedly, "Now that you have a bright future, I'm afraid that your future achievements will not even be comparable to the old man, how to cut off your future, wouldn't you live up to the teachings of these old men." ”

"The son bears the charge for his father, but also for the sake of filial piety, no matter whether the son lives or dies in the future, please take care of his father."

When Mrs. Shi heard this, her eyes couldn't help but be a little hazy, but she still said, "The eldest princess sent a letter from Shicai, only saying that if you can marry her youngest daughter Ruan Ruhuan, she is willing to come forward to intercede and protect the reputation of our Ruan family, and even these things will never reach the ears of the Queen Mother." ”

There was no wave in Shi Ran's eyes, "I will never marry her." ”

Shi Taifu knew that he would be so decisive, so he had to frown and sigh, "After you came back from governing the Yellow River, you have changed, look at you all day long, could it be that you have met a woman you like?" ”

Shi Ran did not deny it, "She has become her own son, and I have already broken my thoughts." ”

Mrs. Shi's hair was already half white, and he said with some worry, "Now that the border is in a hurry, the Queen Mother is worried all day long, and now that the old man's affairs are out of trouble, I am afraid that I will never spare it easily, and I am afraid that even your life will ......."

Shi Taifu's reputation must not be lost, even if he sacrifices his only son, he must protect his own reputation.

*******

The Eldest Princess's Mansion, which was quiet in the dead of night, was like a behemoth, swallowing everything into it.

Lian Zhi'er didn't think that Ruan Lu was resting in her room, which made Lian Zhi'er seem a little at a loss.

He saw that Lian Zhi'er's maid was only Guan Yue, and she was still a girl with a flamboyant personality, so he ordered his personal maid Yun Dou'er to come over to serve Lian Zhi'er.

Lian Zhi'er only heard that Ruan Lu had an extremely careful and obedient girl, and I only saw it today, but I saw that Yun Dou'er was born with an ordinary appearance, but she was extremely skilled in doing things, but she was a down-to-earth and hard-working girl, and it was rare to stay by Ruan Lu's side for such a long time.

Besides, he's a very angry person.

Lian Zhi'er hugged Ah Kong, and under the shadow of the lamp, she saw that the corners of her lips were full of satisfied smiles, her eyebrows and eyes were crooked, and her eyes seemed to hide stars.

Lian Zhi'er is coaxing. But she felt that the mattress beside her sank, and it was Ruan Lu sitting beside her.

He stretched out his hand and touched Akong's eyes, but it was a rare fatherly appearance, "This child's eyes are very similar to you." ”

Lian Zhi'er shook her head, "No, it's not like anywhere, obviously I was born, but he doesn't look like me anywhere." ”

The room was full of warmth, Lian Zhi'er seemed to be obsessed, and said slowly, "When he is older, I will take him to Beiliang, to see the snow mountains, to see the ......"

She said that her face had changed, and she knew that she had said something she shouldn't have said.

However, Ruan Lu slowly tugged at the corners of his lips, and the candle flame cast a large shadow on his handsome face.

"Why don't you take this son with you, this son wants to see how good your Beiliang is, why do you talk like this all day long."

He sat behind her, his breath falling on her ears, hot and hot, and soon the roots of her ears were red through.

Lian Zhi'er finally gritted her teeth and said slowly, "Will His Royal Highness the Prince go to the border pass?" ”

He was silent for a moment, and then looked at Akong in Lian Zhi'er's arms, "No matter how ruthless this son is, he will not kill his son's relatives." ”

Lian Zhi'er asked with unconcealable joy in her eyes, or with a little nervousness. "Then how do the eldest princess and the queen mother explain it? They're all looking forward to your going. ”

Ruan Lu smiled and hugged her and Ah Kong in his arms, "I'm afraid that I will suffer some tomorrow, but you have to take good care of me." ”

Lian Zhi'er was about to ask, but saw Yun Dou'er walk in, and said respectfully, "The meal has been prepared, and I invite the prince and his wife to eat." ”

When the two of them arrived outside, they saw that a mahogany table had been moved from nowhere, on which dozens of meals were placed, but they were all big fish and meat, and Lian Zhi'er's eyes couldn't help but look at one of the milk cakes.

She slowly picked up the top one, only to take advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, picked up one and broke it, only to see that there was a very small paper ball inside.

Lian Zhi'er hurriedly hid it, and at this moment, Ruan Lu's slow voice came, "There are two fresh pastries, could it be that there is a new cook in the mansion?" ”

Yun Dou'er hurriedly said, "The original errand steward was killed today, and I only found a new one, but I will make some weird pastries." ”

Ruan Lu never worries about these sesame-sized things, but he never mentions them anymore.

When he had finished eating, it was time to bathe and change his clothes.

Lian Zhi'er found a dark shirt from the cabinet, draped it on his body, and then walked to the kitchen of the mansion.

Who knew that halfway through, he heard a low whistle, but it was the code of the Beiliang joint.

She burrowed into the eerie bamboo forest. Sure enough, I saw Ah Zeng standing inside.

"I said how can today's pastries be so familiar, but you made them." There was a trace of pain in Lian Zhi'er's eyes, "It's just that I haven't eaten it for so many years, and I have forgotten the taste, and now I eat it, I obviously liked it the most, but today I only feel sweet and greasy." ”

Ah Zeng's face was also full of worry, and he only said slowly, "My subordinates have to use this method to sneak into the Eldest Princess's Mansion, King Yan Cheng already knows about your hiding here, and he will come to pick you up soon." ”

"When will I be able to go back?" There was urgency in her voice. "I'm going to have to get out of here with my kids."

"King Yan Cheng said that you can't go back now, you have to stay by Ruan Lu's side, and someone has already told me today that Ruan Lu treats you with deep affection. And when you were in exile, you did a lot of things. Ah Zeng's face was full of complexity, and he seemed to be a little unbearable.

Lian Zhi'er didn't know who the person he said knew all this was, but it must be someone from Ruan Lu's side. But she knew that even if she asked Ah Zeng, he wouldn't tell her.

Lian Zhi'er is like the last straw in his hand. Even his voice was filled with unconcealable despair, "Why, why don't you take me home?" Ruan Lu will not go to the border pass, he has no value. ”

"No, the prince said he would definitely go." Ah Zeng's face was full of complexity, "Besides, what the prince hopes most is that he can fight, and at that time, the prince will naturally think of a plan to defeat him, but you need to cooperate with the prince." ”

Lian Zhi'er only felt a stuffy cabinet on his head, "You let me calculate Ruan Lu?" Have you ever wondered how my son and I are going to live? How can the eldest princess let us go?! ”

Ah Zeng understood that who dared to take in the eldest princess of Beiliang now, he was only afraid that the Queen Mother would blame her, and he was afraid that she would be killed by the nine clans, but Ruan Lu was still desperately hiding Lian Zhi'er's identity, and he didn't care about his net worth and his life.

Ah Zeng said helplessly after all, "Your Royal Highness the County Lord, you have to understand that now that the prince and the Central Plains have completely torn their faces, either you die or I live, do you want to watch our people in Beiliang be killed again?" Where was our home back then? ”

Lian Zhi'er's face suddenly turned white, and even her fingertips trembled.

"Your Royal Highness the county lord, you can stay here, and when the Beiliang people enter the capital, then all your hatred can be avenged." Ah Zeng's voice was filled with endless hatred, "Whether it's the prince's or your brother's." ”

Lian Zhi'er was silent for a long time, but nodded slowly, "Okay, I'll make a note of it." I'll help you another day. ”

Ah Zeng thought of something again, lowered his voice and said, "Tomorrow there will be a bloody storm in the capital, and we haven't entered the capital yet, but they have bitten it first, which is really happy." ”

"What's wrong?" Lian Zhi'er always had a bad premonition.

"Today, the eldest princess took out the evidence of Mrs. Shi's corruption to threaten Shi Ran to marry her daughter, but she was rejected by Shi Ran, and now the eldest princess is angry and ashamed, and she is afraid that she will go to the queen mother tomorrow to complain."

"What?" Even Zhi'er didn't expect the eldest princess to come up with any tricks.

"I'm afraid that tomorrow I will take the blame for my father. I'm afraid I won't be able to escape death. Ah Zeng's eyes full of hatred showed a murderous light, "The prince has already found out clearly, he was the one who calculated the prince four years ago, and now he has to pay the price." ”

After Ah Zeng finished speaking, he explained a few more words, only saying that he would be in the kitchen in the future, and if there was anything, just go to him.

Lian Zhi'er didn't listen to those words at all, but just returned to his room in a daze, only to see that Ruan Lu had already bathed and changed clothes.

His long black hair was loosely inserted with a wooden hairpin, and he looked a little more lazy than before.

"Where have you been?" He looked at her. There was a little doubt in his eyes.

Lian Zhi'er tugged at the corners of her lips, "It's just a little stuffy, and I went outside to get some air." ”

Ruan Lu came over and hugged her in his arms, but when he saw that she was surprisingly cold, he couldn't help but show a little distress, "Why is your body so weak, it seems that you will have to raise some more in the future." ”

Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but feel ridiculous, how could a shrewd person like him be calculated by himself?

*****

Sure enough, on the second day, the court exploded suddenly, and all the people in the Jinluan Hall were surprised and frightened on their faces, only Ruan Lu looked at this good show with a smile, and finally got everything he wanted.

Unexpectedly, Ruan Lu handed over the accounts of his past bribes in today's court, and there were hundreds of antique calligraphy and paintings.

He only said that he had used it to honor his father, but his father knew nothing.

Who is not stunned that such an amazing person has fallen into such a crime.

And the Queen Mother was even more angry and almost fainted on the spot, only looking at the calligraphy and paintings sent up, she only said angrily, "Now at this time, you have done such a foolish thing, it is really in vain to waste the efforts of the mourning family for all these years, and it is in vain." ”

Although the Queen Mother was bent on preserving Shi Ran, those courtiers seemed to be behind the scenes, so they only knelt down and must be executed.

Seeing that his son ended up in today's field, Mrs. Shi naturally couldn't plead, so he only said that he would resign and go home to save his last reputation.

The Queen Mother couldn't bear to kill Shi Ran after all, after all, he was the top beam, if it wasn't for him, I was afraid that now the Central Plains is already the world of the Beiliang people.

In the end, the Queen Mother had to cut her officials, and the father and son of the Ruan family became commoners.

Shi Ran received the decree and did not say a word, just respectfully thanks. only held the bright and flickering holy decree, and calmly walked out of the palace gate as before.

And after Shi Ran left, the Queen Mother only called Ruan Lu out, "Now that the country is in danger, please lead the troops to the battle, and if the lives of people are today, they will be in your hands." ”

The Queen Mother saw that Ruan Lu had not asked for an order to go on the expedition for these days, and she was already impatient, so she had to make an order in the court.

But Ruan Lu was full of calmness, "The Queen Mother forgives her sins, Weichen is young, how dare she take the Jiangshan Sheji to take risks, please choose them again, Weichen will never go to the border." ”

Yan Hou hurriedly persuaded his son on the side, who didn't know his refusal, but he was afraid that in the future, those courtiers would not take the eldest princess's mansion in their eyes, if Ruan Lu went on the expedition, even if the army was defeated. The end will be better than this.

But Ruan Lu is clearly already cross-minded, and he will not go to the border pass.

In the end, the enraged Queen Mother ordered Ruan Lu to be beaten with fifty sticks before ordering someone to send him back to the princess's mansion.

Fu Yunhuang, who heard the news, had already rushed over, but unexpectedly, Ruan Lu directly asked the palace guards to send her to Lian Zhi'er's house.

Lian Zhi'er was coaxing Ah Kong, but saw Ruan Lu being carried in a hurry, and the back of his official robe was already blurred with flesh and blood, just looking at it was shocking.

Seeing that she was so frightened, Ruan Lu said to her with an indifferent face, "Don't be afraid, send Ah Kong to another room quickly, don't scare our children." ”

Lian Zhi'er hurriedly asked the nurse to take the child away, and soon some doctors came, and soon a basin of blood was brought out.

The eldest princess was still angry because of yesterday's events, and today he didn't go out to fight and disappointed the eldest princess so much that she simply didn't care about his life or death.

It took an hour for the doctors to bandage his wounds.

Lian Zhi'er went in to see him, but saw him lying on the bed, his face was bloodless, and he seemed to be trying his best to suppress the pain on his body, and did not hum a word of pain.

Lian Zhi'er only thought that he was a stubborn person before, but he didn't expect to be such a tolerant person, so he felt more and more that he was very terrible, and he was even more bloodthirsty and cruel than the wolves in the Beiliang Wilderness.

"It hurts." Lian Zhi'er's eyes were a little frightened, and he almost said such words in a hoarse voice.

She tried her best to pretend to be worried.

Sure enough, Ruan Lu, who heard this, was in a good mood, and only turned his head to look at her, "This son of the world felt that he had a bloody disaster yesterday, and now it seems that it has really worked, and he knew that he would go to fortune telling." ”
