Chapter 92: Qin Se and Ming
Lian Zhi'er slowly spoke for a long time, "But is it because of the matter of going to the border gate?" That's why you were beaten? Then why didn't you agree to it? ”
Ruan Lu only raised his eyebrows and sneered, "Those people will only shrink into the shell of the king, and they are only bent on asking others to give them their lives, they will all be happy, why should they want to fight hard in this world." ”
Lian Zhi'er saw that he kept frowning when he spoke, so he walked over and lifted his middle shirt, and sure enough, although his back was bandaged, he could still see the bruises, which looked a little crazy.
Seeing that she seemed to be frightened, Ruan Lu only said, "It's okay, just raise it." ”
Lian Zhi'er picked up a fan and fanned Ruan Lu to the wind, because her room was already very small and not very ventilated, so it only became more and more stuffy.
And at this moment, I saw Ruan Lu wrap his arms around Lian Zhi'er's waist, drag her to the bed, and press her to his side, "Accompany me to take a good rest, this son is really tired." ”
As he lay on his side on the bed, Lian Zhi'er's face was pressed against his, his hot breath fell on her cheek, and he gradually fell asleep.
Lian Zhi'er looked at his handsome eyebrows, but there was a cold look in his eyes, as if he was very tired of such intimacy, and wanted to take his heavy hand away from her waist. But his arms were as heavy as black iron.
And at this moment, Yun Dou'er's voice came from outside, "Your Royal Highness, the princess has come to see you." ”
Ruan Lu slowly opened his eyes at this time, and his dark eyes were full of displeasure, "Let her go." ”
Lian Zhi'er barely struggled to sit up, and only said, "Please come in yet." ”
She was about to get up, but Ruan Lu tugged at her shirt very unhappily. When the two were entangled, Fu Yunhuang had already entered the house.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw such an intimate two, and she couldn't help but show an embarrassed look on her face.
Lian Zhi'er had already gotten up and saluted Fu Yunhuang respectfully, "I've seen the princess." ”
Fu Yunhuang carried a food box in his hand, slowly put it on the only table in the room, and then said, "This is the concubine who personally boiled some sour plum soup, you can eat some raw." ”
Ruan Lu's face was still calm, and there was still sleepiness in his eyes, "If you finish speaking, you will step back......"
Fu Yunhuang gritted his teeth, "The concubine still has some private things to say to His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Lian Zhi'er had never drunk sour plum soup, but when she heard about the things that quenched her thirst and drove away heat in the Central Plains, she only looked at it with a pair of eyes, and she couldn't wait to open the basket to take a look.
"Ah Kong won't see me this time, I'm afraid that I'm going to make trouble again, so the concubine will go and take a look." She came out of the house.
However, she did not go. Just stood on tiptoe and rubbed under the window to listen to the movement inside.
She often listened to the root of the wall when she was in Beiliang, and she was already very familiar with it.
But I heard Fu Yunhuang's voice from inside, "Does His Royal Highness the Prince plan to let go of Shi Dye so easily?" ”
Ruan Lu said, "It's because you don't have the ability, even the evidence has been handed over to you, you can still get things to such a field, Lord Ling Zun can really do it!" ”
"I didn't think that my mother would intervene, and the Queen Mother was bent on keeping his life, he was going to leave Beijing tomorrow, he was only stripped of his official position, I was afraid that he would return to his ancestral hometown, and he would be able to live a life of idle clouds and wild cranes."
Even if Lian Zhi'er couldn't see Fu Yunhuang's expression at this time, she could still clearly feel that her face must have been distorted with anger at this time.
Lian Zhi'er under the window felt bursts of cold sweat come out of his forehead.
"It's so hard to go back to such a long way." Ruan Lu sneered, "If the people of Suzhou kill Ruan Lu halfway because they are jealous of him, others will not be surprised." ”
Fu Yunhuang suddenly laughed, "Now the only one who can mobilize the forbidden army in Beijing is His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, if he can get rid of Shi Dye, the concubine will definitely be forever admired." ”
"Remember, this son of the world didn't kill him today for you." Ruan Lu's voice faintly reached Lian Zhi'er's ears, "It's because this son of the world can't tolerate him living in the world." ”
"His Royal Highness the Prince is really deeply rooted, and the concubine is really admired."
"This son also admires you, I wanted to die and live for him, but today I want to die with him, and sure enough, the more beautiful the beauty, the more femme fatale." Ruan Lu sighed, "Even this son admires you." ”
"The one on the tip of your heart is also a beauty, I'm afraid that she will be vicious in the future, and she will never be softer than me. Persuade His Royal Highness not to be dazzled by her rhetoric, otherwise he will die in her hands in the coming day. ”
Ruan Lu in the room had been silent, as if thinking about her words.
Soon Fu Yunhuang left, and Lian Zhi'er only quietly hid under the eaves of the porch, and only entered the house after a long time.
She just entered the house, and sure enough, she saw Ruan Lu looking at her thoughtfully, and her dark eyes almost made her breathless.
"The princess is gone?" Lian Zhi'er asked knowingly, "Why did you stay for so long?" ”
"Oh? Do you want her to stay? Ruan Lu sneered, "You women are really interesting, you were calculating with each other a few days ago, what is this now?" ”
Lian Zhi'er didn't speak again, only walked over and opened the food box, but saw that there was a large bowl of sour plum soup inside.
"Bring it here, and taste it." He snorted coldly, "People know how to please their husbands better than you, who is like you, they can only pretend to be." ”
Lian Zhi'er felt more and more that he was uncertain, and couldn't help but suspect that it was Fu Yunhuang's words that he listened to.
Lian Zhi'er still gritted her teeth, brought the sour plum soup, only sat down on the bed, and slowly came to Ruan Lu.
Ruan Lu brought it over. only snorted coldly, "It's really fragrant, it seems that this son has to drink it all in one gulp." ”
She licked her dry lips helplessly, she originally wanted to taste it, but she didn't expect him to want to swallow it alone.
He took a sip of her hand, and then snorted coldly, "Look at your pitiful appearance, the rest will be rewarded to you." ”
Lian Zhi'er happily brought it to his lips and drank it all in one gulp, only to feel that most of the heat in his body had dissipated, and he was happy, and he couldn't help but sigh that there was such a good thing in the Central Plains.
At this moment, Ruan Lu frowned and said, "If you drink too much, you will have a stomachache later." ”
Lian Zhi'er naturally doesn't believe it, her body and bones are always excellent, and she won't get sick several times a year.
And at this moment, I saw Yun Dou'er walking in from outside, holding a few porcelain bottles in her hand, and only said respectfully, "Your Royal Highness, the eldest princess ordered Mama Shicai to send some ointment, and she only said that she went to the palace today to ask the Queen Mother for it, which is excellent." ”
Ruan Lu's eyes finally had a touch of pain, and he said slowly after a long time, "How is my mother?" ”
Yun Dou'er said in a low voice. "When the slave heard that the eldest princess came back from the palace today, she kept in the house, only to hear that the princess was distressed and shed tears."
Ruan Lu slowly closed his eyes, and after a long time, he instructed Yun Dou'er, "You go and talk back to your mother, just say that I don't have any big problems, so she doesn't have to worry about it." ”
Yun Dou'er put down the things in her hand, and then she was about to leave.
But Ruan Lu stopped him again, but saw him say slowly, "You tell your mother that I was not filial to my quarrel with her yesterday, and when my illness is cured, I will apologize." ”
Only then did Lian Zhi'er know that the eldest princess and Ruan Lu's mother and son had a deep relationship, although there was a gap, but after all, they were mother and son, and the broken bones were still connected to the tendons.
At night, the lights under the porch of the princess's mansion gradually went out.
Ah Kong was placed in the nurse's room, and Ruan Lu slept with Lian Zhi'er.
The moonlight outside was very light, and occasionally birds came out of nowhere, flying wildly.
Lian Zhi'er only felt unwell, and only turned over indiscriminately, and even Ruan Lu, who was asleep next to her, was woken up by her.
He was like a violent charcoal, because he was disturbed from sleeping, and he was even more cold to her, "What are you churning about?" Can't you sleep peacefully? ”
Lian Zhi'er's voice was a little weak, "My stomach hurts, isn't it poisoned?" It must be that bowl of sour plum soup. ”
After eating the sour plum soup, her stomach felt a little uncomfortable, and this time it was so much trouble, so she suspected that Fu Yunhuang was going to poison her.
Ruan Lu snorted coldly, "What are you?" Why is there nothing wrong with this world, only the half you drank was poisoned? ”
Lian Zhi'er's voice became weaker and weaker, "Save me, Your Highness the Prince." ”
Seeing that her voice was getting weaker and weaker, Ruan Lu had to grit his teeth and get up, because of the wound behind him, and soon his back was covered with blood.
Ruan Lu took a palace lamp and only took a picture on the bed, but saw Lian Zhi'er's face was pale, her anger was like a gossamer, and her thin body was constantly writhing, which seemed to be very painful.
"Have you drunk it before? Or have you eaten black plum and hawthorn? He took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
Lian Zhi'er thought about it before she said hurriedly. "I remember eating black plum when I was a child, and then my stomach hurt for a few days, and my father said that I had a special constitution and couldn't eat these things."
Ruan Lu was angry and laughed, and reproached, "Then you still drink." ”
Lian Zhi'er covered her stomach, rolled around on the bed, and only gritted her teeth and said, "I don't know." ”
How did she know there would be these in the sour plum soup?
Ruan Lu had no choice but to help her up, move the spittoon over, let her lie on his lap, and then reach out to clasp her throat.
Lian Zhi'er only felt nauseous, and suddenly vomited upside down, and along with dinner, her stomach was clean.
But the pain in her body did not subside, and she only said urgently, "Go and call the imperial doctor, I'm afraid I'm going to die." ”
Seeing her like this, Ruan Lu reached out and rubbed her lower abdomen, and sure enough, the pain in her body had also subsided by half, and there were tears in her clear eyes.
Lian Zhi'er, who was very sleepy, slowly fell asleep, and only after sleeping for half an hour did she feel that her stomach was not too painful.
But she clearly saw a large piece of Ruan Lu's middle coat, which was already bloody.
Seeing that she was awake, Ruan Lu mocked with a smile, "Okay? ”
Lian Zhi'er nodded, but didn't say anything.
She quickly changed into a middle coat for Ruan Lu. The two of them barely fell asleep, but at this time, the outside was already a little bright, and they closed their eyes after only two sticks of incense, and Yun Dou'er's voice came from outside, "His Royal Highness, it's time to go to the court." ”
Lian Zhi'er raised her head from her pillow, her eyes full of sleepiness, "Why does His Royal Highness the Prince of the World still want to go to the early dynasty?" Isn't it time to recuperate in the mansion? ”
Ruan Lu finally spoke slowly, "General Qiu will go out on the expedition today. This son is in charge of the forbidden army, so he naturally has to send troops for him. ”
Lian Zhi'er knew that these people were going to the border, and he didn't know who would win or lose in the future.
But she knew that this General Qiu was also a tiger general at the beginning, and he was also an iron-clad person in the hearts of the Beiliang people, but now that he is over fifty years old, such a person still has to go to the expedition, and there is really no one in the Central Plains.
Lian Zhi'er knew that her uncle was resourceful. Although he is not as brave and mighty as his father and brother, he is still a decisive person, and he is afraid that he will really be able to fight in the capital in the future.
Ruan Lu saw that she had been dull and did not speak, so he regretted telling her about it.
He vaguely looked at the gloomy outside, as if it was going to rain, and whispered, "You don't have to get up, just sleep well, let the kitchen boil some porridge later, and never eat some greasy, cold and hard things." ”
Lian Zhi'er still had the slightest appetite, so he only nodded indiscriminately in agreement.
Ruan Lu went to the outer room, and through the screen, Lian Zhi'er faintly heard the heavy sound of Ruan Lu's armor, and suddenly fell into deep thought.
Sure enough, Ruan Lu was right, Lian Zhi'er had only slept for an hour, and then he heard a strong wind outside, and rolling thunder kept coming.
Immediately, it was pouring rain, and she only felt wet, and she didn't have the heart to sleep again, so she had to get up and drink half a bowl of bird's nest porridge.
She hugged Akong too, and Akong couldn't stop crying for some reason.
Just when she was holding the child and coaxing softly, she saw Guan Yue running into the house in a hurry, and she didn't even have time to collect the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, allowing the rain to splash into the house.
Without waiting for Lian Zhi'er to ask her, she hurriedly said, "Madam, Scholar Shi is waiting outside the mansion, and he only said that he wants to see you." ”
Lian Zhi'er's heart hurt like a pinprick, and it took a long time before he slowly spoke, "What did he see me doing, now that I am the concubine of the prince, how can I easily meet a foreign man?" ”
"So what?" Guan Yue's face was full of worry, "The guard at the gate of Shicai replied, saying that Master Shi didn't even bring an umbrella, only in the rain, which was very pitiful." ”
However, Guan Yue's words had just finished speaking. But seeing Yun Dou'er hurriedly scolded, "Don't say such things in front of Madame, if Madame goes out at this time, won't it break the rules, what does this make others think?" ”
Yun Dou'er is an extremely smart woman, and such a knock on the side is also to advise Lian Zhi'er not to go out, otherwise it will be true.
Lian Zhi'er looked at the pouring rain outside, and slowly closed her eyes.
Finally, she put down Ah Kong in her arms, and then hurriedly snatched the oil-paper umbrella in Guan Yue's hand, and hurriedly went outside the mansion.
But in the pouring rain, a man dressed in white stood in the rain, allowing the rain to fall on him.
"Lord Shi." She took a deep breath and slowly walked over to him.
Behind her is the plaque of the Eldest Princess's Mansion, with gilded characters on it, even in the rain, it can still be seen clearly.
See her coming. There was a touch of complexity in his eyes, "You really came." ”
Lian Zhi'er walked up to him, as if she didn't want the rain to fall on him again, and only stood on tiptoe and gave him an umbrella.
"I heard that Lord Shi Ran has been stripped of his official position, and he is leaving Beijing today, right?" There was a bit of hoarseness in her voice, but there was still a dull pain in her abdomen.
"I have no one in the capital to resign, I just want to see you one last time." His pale eyes fell on her, "I'm afraid we won't see each other again at this time." ”
Lian Zhi'er suddenly remembered Ruan Lu's words last night, and knew in his heart that there would never be a day to see each other again in this life.
Soon, he would die, but he didn't expect that the world-famous scholar Shi Daxue would die in such a humiliating death.
In the heavy rain, he slowly sent a jade pendant to her, like a brilliant jade, she hadn't seen her for a long time.
"You stay, if you don't like it, you will lose it for a while." He still sent the jade pendant to her trembling hands.
Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth and still took the jade pendant in her hand, but the hot jade pendant couldn't warm her already cold heart.
"I'm sorry." After a thunderstorm, he slowly said these three words, "I'm sorry for the death of your father and brother who I harmed, and you stayed in the capital." ”
He finally uttered these three words, with infinite sadness.
"You know what? I used to hate you so much, but now that I'm calm, I understand you. She said slowly, "If someone goes to attack Beiliang and kills the people of Beiliang, I will also kill him." ”
Shi Ran was a little stunned, as if he didn't believe that she would forgive him so easily as the culprit.
"I forgive you, but I just don't hate you anymore." She stretched out her hand to hand the oil-paper umbrella in her hand, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Lord Shi is originally a cold-hearted person, and he is even more of a person who is spotless outside the world, how can he be drenched in the rain." ”
He moved his lips, but didn't say anything.
"My lord, I wish I was like you, I don't know love all my life." She was obviously smiling, but tears kept rolling down, "Farewell, Master Shi." ”
After saying that, she picked up her skirt and walked only to the mansion.
She walked through countless corridors and turned countless pavilions, but she couldn't help but stop.
"No, he can't die." After she finished speaking, she ran out like crazy, and stumbled somewhere, until she ran outside the mansion, but saw that there was no lonely figure in the heavy rain.
She watched in despair, and at that moment, a man in armor stood in front of her.
The torrential rain fell on Ruan Lu's body, but there was complexity in his eyes, "What are you doing here, don't you want to go back to the house with me?!" ”
Lian Zhi'er watched in the heavy rain, there was a gray sedan chair, walking farther and farther, only running towards the city gate.
