Chapter 57: Broken Affection

Ruan Lu smiled, but there was no anger on his face, he just looked at her quietly, and said in an extremely gentle voice, "If the son of this world dies here today, we will be a hundred." If the son of this world is alive, you will have to pay a thousandfold price. ”

Lian Zhi'er looked at the black and smelly mud that was almost over his chest, obviously he had no chance to live, but she still felt creepy, and the hairs on her body stood up.

He looked at her, just at her, without sorrow or joy.

Lian Zhi'er just wanted to go down and press him in quickly.

At this moment, there was a sound of small footsteps not far away, but it was the sound of boots stepping on the ice, and seeing the startled gray sparrows around them, it was expected that someone was coming.

Ruan Lu fell deeper and deeper, and he seemed to know that someone was coming, but he raised his eyebrows slightly, and a gloomy chill oozed from his face.

She was afraid that he would make a noise and summon the people over.

Lian Zhi'er was in a hurry, so he only grabbed a piece of bluestone that was frozen from the reeds around him, pulled it hard, and desperately pulled it up.

His voice was as cold as ice, "Sure enough, he is an extremely ruthless person, but this son has been deceived by your coy appearance." You Beiliang people are really immature wolves, and they are not worthy of pity. ”

As soon as she heard him insulting Bei Liang, she didn't know where the brute force came from. A stone that was frozen was dragged out, and then smashed it into Ruan Lu.

Lian Zhi'er has been driving sheep on the grassland since he was a child, using stones he picked up, and he threw them accurately every time.

But he saw that the sharp stone really smashed into Ruan Lu's left forehead, and suddenly his face was like a soy sauce shop, and endless blood gushed out from his head, flowing through his handsome eyebrows and angular cheeks, until the swamp under him was dyed a large area red.

She used a lot of strength, full of murderous intent. With this smash, he really closed his eyes tightly, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, but he just kept sinking down.

Lian Zhi'er fell into the cold reeds, and the fox skin cloak on his body was pressed under her, and there was still a faint residue of the incense on his body.

She subconsciously took off the cloak from her body and shook it off desperately, like a fierce and hungry beast, devouring her flesh and bones a moment too late.

And at this moment, I saw two tall figures coming out of the deep reeds, both of whom were burly and moved very fast, presumably both of them were practitioners.

Just when Lian Zhi'er was still guessing their identities, she saw that the two of them found dead wood out of nowhere, put it under their feet, and dragged Ruan Lu out with the rope on their bodies.

Lian Zhi'er is sure. This is Lianshuo's people.

A chill spread from her back to her limbs, and she realized how a person like Ruan Lu could only bring a small servant of Fushuang to this place where tigers and wolves were stationed, and there were not many guards in the dark.

In fact, Lian Zhi'er guessed well, these two guards were selected by Ruan Lu, and they were extremely high in sword skills.

Today they only quietly followed behind the two people, but they saw that the two people looked intimate, and Ruan Lu was carrying this woman on his back, so it was not easy to disturb, only a little farther away, and saw that the two of them got into the reeds and did not come out for a long time, so they were afraid that something would happen, so they hurriedly came to look for it.

Lian Zhi'er watched helplessly as the two people brought Ruan Lu up, and she was shocked in her heart, she didn't know whether Ruan Lu was alive or dead.

She was anxious to crawl over to test Ruan Lu's snort, but unexpectedly, a hand had already rushed in front of her.

"Your Excellency is fine, take it back for treatment." Among them, his face was full of anxiety, but he also breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

Lian Zhi'er only felt that she had fallen into the endless abyss, and she knew that she would not survive.

The two men noticed her at this time, because they didn't know her identity, but when they saw her frightened little face, one of them comforted, "Girl, be careful, go back, and wait until His Royal Highness the Prince wakes up." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Lian Zhi'er didn't know how she went back, but when she came back to her senses, Fushuang was constantly shaking her thin body, and her face was tightly leaning over, calling her like a soul.

"Lian'er, Lian'er, what's wrong with you? What about His Royal Highness, the son of my family? Why did you come back alone? ”

Lian Zhi'er seemed to have been pricked by a needle, and suddenly woke up, and there was despair in his dark eyes, "He was injured, I don't know if he was alive or dead - no, he was still alive and rescued!" ”

When Fushuang heard this, he was shocked in his heart, and hurriedly left everything and walked to Ruan Lu's courtyard.

In a panic, he kicked over the wooden barrel containing the clothes, and the freshly washed clothes rolled all over the ground.

It wasn't until it was dark, and even the birds in the forest were gone, and only the biting cold wind cried through the branches, that she picked up the clothes that had frozen into ice on the ground, and carried the barrel back to hand it over.

She didn't finish her errand today, even if she went back, she would be disposed of, but she thought that it would be better to die in the hands of Grandma Sun than to be tortured to death by Ruan Lu.

He was such a cruel and ruthless man.

And when she went back, she found that Grandma Sun was not there at all, and everyone else was talking about Ruan Lu's almost death.

When she finished her dinner without knowing what to eat, she only made a bed in the house, but she saw Zhenying pulling a few women, still whispering.

"I've heard that the adults have gone to see it. But they were all stopped by the man named Fushuang, but I heard the doctor who came to check the pulse say that he just kowtowed to his head, and there was nothing serious. ”

"Amitabha, thank God, a person like His Royal Highness the Prince of the World will surely live a long life."

"I heard I haven't woken up yet."

Lian Zhi'er didn't want to listen anymore, so she just turned around and came to Ruan Lu's courtyard.

She really saw that the courtyard was brightly lit, but those officials were not here, presumably Sun Sheng and those people did not expect that Ruan Lu would not die, but they were all already panicked.

She involuntarily walked over, but bumped into Fushuang head-on.

Seeing that her face was pale, Fushuang hurriedly patted her forehead, looking remorseful, and said, "The girl is frightened, she forgot to send you a letter when she was busy, His Royal Highness the Prince is fine, don't worry." ”

"Can I go in and see him?" Lian Zhi'er's face looked very haggard and pale.

Fushuang knew that she had a great relationship with Ruan Lu, and when she looked like this, she only thought that it was Lang Qing's concubine, where was there any reason not to agree, so she hurriedly said, "Girl, please." ”

When Lian Zhi'er entered the house, she only smelled a pungent smell of medicine, filling her snort.

She held her breath and walked over slowly, only to see Ruan Lu lying behind the gauze tent. The wound on his head had been bandaged, but there was still a faint amount of blood.

But I saw that his eyes were closed, as if he had dreamed of something troublesome, with a bit of anger.

Finally, she held her breath and threw herself at him as if she were fierce, and grabbed him by the neck.

As long as she wants him to die, no matter how much she has to pay, she is willing.

Lian Zhi'er's eyes were bloodshot, and her teeth were clucking.

However, at this moment, he saw Ruan Lu suddenly open his dark eyes, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, he pulled Lian Zhi'er's hand off his neck, and then pinched it tightly, "Do you want this son to die like this?" ”

But when she heard a "click", her middle finger was broken violently, and beads of sweat fell from her forehead in an instant, "Yes." ”

Ruan Lu still let go of her hand, and then unscrupulously admired her unbearable pain, but there was a little smile in his eyes, "As Ben Shizi said, as long as you don't kill Ben Shizi, you will be the one who dies." ”

"Kill me." Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth and looked at him, like an angry lion cub.

Ruan Lu twisted her chin and kissed her cold cheek gently, "No hurry. ”

At this moment, he heard footsteps outside, and it was Fushuang who heard the movement and ran in. He was so excited that he didn't even knock on the door, and ran over in a hurry. Then he knelt beside Ruan Lu's bed with a plop, crying to death.

"Your Royal Highness, why are you so careless? If you are so dangerous today, if there is anything bad, how can you let the minions go to see the eldest princess?! ”

Ruan Lu rubbed the corners of his eyebrows, a little upset, and his eyes were still cold, "Don't cry, Miss Lian'er's finger is broken, you take her to the doctor for treatment." ”

Fushuang hurriedly came over to take a look, and sure enough, he saw that Lian Zhi'er's face was covered with fine sweat and a finger was hanging down, so he hurriedly took her to see the doctor.

Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth, but refused to leave, just looked at Ruan Lu directly, "Today is the tenth day, please let the adults talk and let Qingqi go." ”

"Sure enough, she is a woman with affection and righteousness." It's obviously a compliment. It came out of his mouth with a hint of sarcasm.

"Please let her go." She fell to her knees, her shoulders clenched, and she looked as endearing as a frightened bird.

"This son likes you so much, what do you want, this son won't give it." He smiled and instructed Fushuang instead, "Let Qingqi go, and pick some things for her by the way." ”

After Fushuang and Lian Zhi'er, who were pale, came out of the house, he said with joy on his face, "It's the first time I've seen my family value a woman like this, presumably Miss Lian'er is a blessed person, and a slave can look at it, how can you be a person who has been trapped for a long time?" ”

Obviously came out, the greasy medicine box fragrance seemed to last for a long time, she only felt that the pitch black in front of her eyes, she was almost suffocated.

"The girl still wants to marry His Royal Highness." Fushuang's face was full of sincerity, "A hundred servants are willing to make you the princess." ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

In the barren mountains and mountains, there are only scattered almost crop yards on Qianmo, but the sound of chickens and dogs barking is far away.

Ruan Lu was woken up by the sound of roosters, because of the heavy scars on his head, he tossed him for half a night, and when he was woken up again, his face became more and more angry, and he just wanted to order someone to beat all the stupid chickens around him to death.

Seeing that he was awake, Fushuang hurriedly brought his medicine over and personally served him to drink.

Seeing Ruan Lu's face so solemn, he immediately showed a look of surprise. "Your Royal Highness don't worry, I have already looked for a doctor yesterday, and Miss Lian'er's bones have been connected, and she can be healed after a while."

"Hmm." There was a trace of boredom in Ruan Lu's eyes, and he didn't want to mention the woman at all. I was already upset, but now I feel even more uncomfortable with a breath pressed on my chest.

"His Royal Highness has been worried all night, right?" Fushuang said happily, "That Lian'er girl was scared like something yesterday, and she has been thinking about you in her heart!" ”

Ruan Lu sneered in his heart. The woman was afraid that she was even more worried about his death.

Seeing that his face was getting more and more gloomy, Fushuang didn't dare to say any more, only hesitated, "Lord Sun came a few times last night, and the servants turned them away, and I came to visit you this morning." ”

Ruan Lu's eyes fell faintly outside the window, and sure enough, he saw a figure standing on the bluestone steps, but it was Sun Sheng.

But I saw him hurrying around under the tree, like a headless fly.

But Ruan Lu unhurriedly packed everything up. Only then did Fu Shuang bring people in and talk back.

That Sun Sheng almost staggered in, and then fell to the ground with a "plop", "Your Royal Highness, it's all the fault of Weichen that let you suffer this catastrophe." ”

Ruan Lu stretched out his hand and pulled out the matching sword hanging on the wall, and slowly walked in front of Sun Sheng, the cold sword blade was quickly aimed at his throat, and the voice was so cold that it made people feel cold behind his back, "Oh? Master Sun didn't know what mistakes he had made, and even his son was confused. ”

Drops of sweat fell down Sun Sheng's face, but he didn't dare to move, after all, he really knew Ruan Lu's uncertain temperament too well.

"It's all because the subordinates have ignored the fact that there is a swamp, and they just want to freeze on such a cold day."

"Then please be careful in the future, if this son dies here, will the eldest princess spare your dog's life?" Ruan Lu slowly withdrew his sword and inserted it back into his scabbard.

Sun Sheng collapsed to the ground, and he also knew in his heart that Ruan Lu's life would not be able to move for a while, and as long as Ruan Lu was still trapped here, he would definitely be able to find the ledger.

As long as he has no evidence, with Ruan Lu's red mouth and white teeth, can he still be punished for no reason, besides, everyone in the world knows that the Yellow River flood has been going on for hundreds of years, how can it be easily solved, even the floods of previous years He also has a way to excuse it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but show a treacherous look, but said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, don't worry, if you have anything wrong, Weichen is willing to apologize with death." ”

"That'll be fine." Ruan Lu lazily sat back on the beauty.

"It's just that you're injured now, and my subordinates want to choose four maids for you to come over and take care of you."

"I'm tired." Ruan Lu smiled indifferently, "Lord Sun is Uncle Shi's proud protΓ©gΓ©, and Shi Ran and I are old friends, and after this son returns to Beijing." I'll say a few nice words for you. ”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

Before dawn, the dilapidated door of the house was slammed open, and the icy cold wind blew in with the snow hail, and the heat on Lian Zhi'er's body dissipated in an instant.

"Lian'er, I'm back." A voice as crisp as a oriole bird came, but with endless joy.

The whole room was woken up by her, but she saw Qingqi slamming into Lian Zhi'er's bed.

I haven't seen her for ten days, her slender chin is a little rounder, and her face is good, presumably Fushuang has taken good care of her these days and has not suffered anything.

Zhenying was woken up by her, and said a lot of complaining words coldly, but Lian Zhi'er's face was full of joy.

After Grandma Sun ordered it, they were sent to the kitchen to do chores.

When the two of them were holding a basket of sweet potatoes to wash by the river, Zhenying pulled Lian Zhi'er and whispered, "Hey, you know what? They are all sending silver to Grandma Sun and are going to be maids for Ruan Lu. Do you have any silver on you? ”

Lian Zhi'er was wiping the black mud on the sweet potato with her fingertips, and when she heard this, she felt that her eyes were dark, "You girl, you have suffered so much, don't you have a long memory?" ”

"I have figured it out these days, I am devoted to His Royal Highness the Prince, I can only serve by his side, look at his voice and appearance every day, and I am willing to pay any price." Zhenying's dark eyes flashed with a strange brilliance, but this gaze was so familiar, because she also looked like this when she thought of dyeing.

She wanted to persuade her, but she was still mired in love, and what could she say.

"The only ones who have silver are Zhenying and the ones around her, what do you compare with them?" Lian Zhi'er sighed helplessly, and was about to stand up with the basket, but a malicious voice came from behind him.

"Yo he, the two girls are short of silver to spend, why don't you come to Lord Ben to borrow it?"

Before the two of them turned around, they only heard the sound and felt that their scalps were numb, and it was Zhao Mane, who didn't know whether he was alive or dead, who came over again.

"Don't bother with adults." Lian Zhi'er looked thoughtfully at the wound on Jean's hand, "Grandma Sun is still waiting for us to go back and say goodbye." ”

Zhao Mane was bored with himself, and there was a trace of anger on his stupid face, but he stared at the two of them with squints, "If you think about it, go to my yard at night to find me to borrow it, with the appearance of the two girls, it is not difficult to borrow as much as possible, isn't it?" ”

Lian Zhi'er was used to his ill-intentioned words, so he only carried a bamboo basket and pulled Qingqi away.

After walking a few steps, Lian Zhi'er saw that Qingqi behind her was dull and didn't speak, so she turned her head to look at her, but saw her biting the corner of her lip with a thoughtful look.

After falling asleep at night, Qingqi got his head out of the quilt, only to hear the wind whistling outside, like a ghost crying wolf, so he put on his clothes, held his breath, and walked outside on tiptoe.

She had just walked outside, but she heard footsteps behind her, she turned her head nervously, but saw a thin figure walking behind her, the cold moonlight shining on her body, with a bit of hazy meaning.

"Lian'er, you're scared me to death." She patted her chest, but her head was covered in cold sweat.

"Are you going to find Zhao Mane?" Lian Zhi'er's voice trembled a little, "Do you know what you're doing?" ”

"It's the only chance, whatever I said, no matter what it costs me." Qingqi's eyes were red, and his thin white teeth bit his lip tightly.

Lian Zhi'er sighed helplessly, "I already knew that you would do stupid things, and today I quietly hid some sweet potatoes, which are enough for bribery." ”

Qingqi's face was full of disbelief, and she only thought that she was coaxing herself, "How can someone like Grandma Sun want us some sweet potatoes?" ”

"Who said you were going to bribe her, have you forgotten who you chose the maid for?!"
