Chapter 88: Take her home
Ruan Lu tugged at the corners of his lips and whispered slowly in her ear, and the heat rushed to the root of her ear, "Lord Shi wants to marry you, this son doesn't dare to block your good marriage, don't forget that this son of the world made a matchmaker for you in the future." ”
Lian Zhi'er was stunned by his words, and just looked at Shi Ran with a blank face.
How could he marry her? Is Ruan Lu crazy?
Ruan Lu clearly saw the stunned and even a touch of excitement on her face, and couldn't help but be angry, "What? Not convinced? Could it be that Lord Shi himself can't say it? ”
Lian Zhi'er's gaze fell on Shi Ran again.
But he didn't deny it, "Just leave with me." ”
Lian Zhi'er slowly walked towards Shi Ran, Ruan Lu subconsciously wanted to reach out and grab her, but he still slowly withdrew his hand.
He knew that if she did go with him today, he would definitely make them pay.
Lian Zhi'er walked straight to Shi Ran, raised her misty eyes and looked at him, "Lord Shi wants to marry me?" ”
"Yes." His voice was like a jade.
"I admired Lord Shi with all my heart, and now I only have His Royal Highness the Prince in my heart." Her eyes were extremely clear, "Please don't entangle, so as not to tarnish my innocence, now I just want to follow His Royal Highness." ”
Shi Ran's eyes saw this endless pain, "Why? ”
Lian Zhi'er's eyes were as bright as stars, "Lord Shi is a person outside the sky, he doesn't know the word love, if you love someone, you just want to dig out your heart and give it to him, but if you don't love it, he will be nothing." ”
There was an irrepressible look of pain in Shi Ran's eyes, "Why? ”
Lian Zhi'er couldn't help laughing, but there was contempt in her eyes, "It turns out that Lord Shi also knows about this day of love." It's really the reincarnation of heaven, and you have to taste the suffering I suffered at the beginning. ”
Shi Ran's face turned pale suddenly, and he reached out and grabbed her slender arm, his fingers almost embedded in her skin, "Follow me." ”
And at this moment, he saw Ruan Lu walking over in a few steps, and slammed a heavy punch on Shi Ran's chest, but saw Shi Ran take a step back suddenly, but he never let go of Lian Zhi'er's hand from beginning to end.
Lian Zhi'er's body was dragged by this and fell behind him suddenly. However, Ruan Lu hugged her in his arms, and he could only let go of his hand for fear of hurting Lian Zhi'er.
Lian Zhi'er said lightly, "Shi Ran, let's write off all the grievances from now on, you don't owe me anything, if you feel guilty, you think that we Beiliang people are to blame, haven't you always been so cold and ruthless?" ”
Shi Ran's eyes were a little dim, but he still watched Lian Zhi'er and Shi Ran leave.
In the flaming weather, even the cicadas on the trees are a little weak.
Ruan Lu didn't take her back to the house in a sedan chair, but just pulled her hand and walked aimlessly on the street.
Lian Zhi'er's expression was the same as before, and he kept looking around, as if he didn't pay attention to everything at all.
Ruan Lu kept looking at her expression, but seeing that she was a little weird with joy, he still poked his words, "Why don't you want to follow him?" Is it really in love with this son? Don't think that this son is a three-year-old child, he is so easy to coax. ”
Lian Zhi'er's long eyelashes trembled, but she actually laughed when she saw her, "His Royal Highness the Prince is young and talented, and he is an important minister in the court." Imperial princes and nobles, all the women in the world want to marry a high-ranking family like you, who is crazy to marry a nerd who can only read. ”
Ruan Lu was stunned, as if he didn't expect her to say such a thing, but he immediately pulled his lips, looking unfinished, "Although this is a compliment, it is not bad, say more to hear it from this world." ”
And at this moment, I saw a smiling voice coming, "Yo, it turns out that His Royal Highness the Prince likes to hear such words, why did His Royal Highness the Prince feel hypocritical when I said it in the past. ”
Lian Zhi'er was facing away from the person, and although she didn't turn around, she felt that the voice was very familiar, as if she had heard it somewhere.
"Liang words, you don't talk cool here, you still have to shirk the wedding banquet of this son, and this son hasn't asked you about your sin yet!" Although it was a reprimand, there was more of a smile in his eyes.
Only then did Lian Zhi'er remember that when he saw this Liang Yan, he was Ruan Lu's friend.
Soon the voice came again, but it was getting closer and closer, "Jiangnan is beautiful, my foot was tripped up, and now Baba is back, waiting for His Royal Highness the Prince to punish the crime." ”
"You have a good mouth, don't think that this son of the world will not dare to deal with you." Ruan Lu snorted coldly.
"I'm going to say hello to the princess, I didn't expect that this summer day, you would take your wife to walk around the street, but it's really a newlywed Yan'er, and you raise your eyebrows." As he spoke, he had already stepped forward.
Lian Zhi'er frowned slightly, but still turned to look at Liang Yan.
Liang Yan's smiling face suddenly froze, and finally landed on Lian Zhi'er's face, "Huh? Isn't this Miss Fu?! But how can I look so familiar, it looks like I've seen it somewhere. ”
Lian Zhi'er just looked at him, and Ruan Lu's face was already full of displeasure.
"Isn't this the county lord of Beiliang?" He shouted violently, but fortunately no one came out on this hot day, and no one could hear him.
Ruan Lu was already displeased, "Do you have to make a fuss that everyone in the world knows?" Shut up! ”
Liang Yan hurriedly covered his mouth and didn't even dare to speak.
Ruan Lu hugged Lian Zhi'er's waist, but his smile was endlessly doting, "She is now a woman in this world, we already have children, and when you become an uncle in the future, you have to give some gifts." ”
"Congratulations." Liang Yan couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he hadn't seen him for half a year, and His Royal Highness the Prince had received so many good things.
Liang Yan couldn't help but joke again, but suddenly straightened his face and said, "This time I have something to discuss with His Royal Highness the Prince, and I was about to visit the princess's mansion, but I didn't expect to meet here." ”
At this time, the sky was getting hotter and hotter, and even Zhi'er's forehead was full of fine white beads of sweat.
Na Liang hurriedly pointed to a shop not far from the roadside, and only smiled and said, "This jewelry shop is opened by my family, and I ask my wife to pick it up, just to make amends for my wife." ”
Ruan Lu smiled and said slowly in Lian Zhi'er's ear. "His rare generosity, you just care about me to move, if you can't move, this son will send a few carriages later."
Liang Yan said with a bitter look on his face, "His Royal Highness the Prince ......"
Lian Zhi'er was amused, only turned around and went to the jewelry shop, but when she turned around, she saw Ruan Lu and Liang Yan with solemn faces as if they were discussing something.
Lian Zhi'er didn't need to guess to know that it must be related to Beiliang, so he hid himself like this and sent himself away.
She turned around and entered the jewelry store, and was thinking about picking out a few pieces of jewelry at random, but suddenly saw the guy in the shop, but saw that he was born heroic and extraordinary, but he was only about twenty years old.
The tears in Lian Zhi'er's eyes fell in an instant, and the man was also looking at Lian Zhi'er, looking at each other, and both of them were speechless.
Finally, the man fell to his knees all at once, "I've seen the county lord." ”
Lian Zhi'er walked over and slowly helped him up, tears flowed down his eyes, "Ah Zeng, how could it be you?" ”
Ah Zeng's father was also a tribal leader in Beiliang, and he was chosen to be a guard of the royal court since he was a child, but he was friends with Lian Zhi'er, and the two often bent bows and rode on the grassland.
"I knew that the county lord would definitely live in the world, you are a blessed person, how can you die here!" Ah Zeng's voice was a little excited.
Lian Zhi'er didn't dare to cry, for fear that Ruan Lu would see it and find out something.
"Aunt Lan and my brother are alright?"
"The little prince has been thinking about his sister, he was still young when you left. I still remember you all these years. Ah Zeng's face was suddenly full of worry, "The princess's body is getting worse day by day." ”
Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but redden, "Then what are you doing in Beijing?" ”
Ah Zeng hesitated for a moment, but still said slowly, "It is on the orders of King Yan Cheng, no matter what means are used, Ruan Lu must not be allowed to go to the border." ”
Lian Zhi'er frowned slowly, but still sighed, "I'm afraid this won't happen, almost everyone is trying their best to let him go to the border, after all, there are not many people who can go to the battlefield in the DPRK, and those fierce generals at the beginning are now just old bones who can't even chew food." ”
"I will tell King Yan Cheng about the county lord and send you back to Beiliang as soon as possible, I don't know where you are now?"
"I'm ......" Lian Zhi'er stopped talking abruptly, because she heard footsteps outside the door, and immediately reached for the jewelry on the wooden shelf.
Seeing this, Ah Zeng also waited aside, but fortunately it was just the same as the guy in the store.
And at this moment, he saw that Ruan Lu had already come in, he seemed to be in a good mood, and only paced to Lian Zhi'er's side, looking at Lian Zhi'er and looking down at a golden hairpin.
Ruan Lu glanced at her fingers, then glanced around, and then snorted coldly, "Don't pick, none of the things in the room are good, they don't match your identity, and when you return to the eldest princess's mansion, this son will send you some good ones." ”
Lian Zhi'er's eyes involuntarily looked at Ah Zeng, but saw that his hand had reached out to his waist. Lian Zhi'er knew that there was an extremely sharp dagger hidden there, and he was actually going to assassinate Ruan Lu.
Lian Zhi'er hurriedly stepped to the side and blocked between them.
She knew that if Ruan Lu was killed at this time, she was afraid that the eldest princess would not let her go, even if she ran away, what would happen to her child?
Ruan Lu raised his eyes and saw that she was sweating profusely, stretched out his hand and took out a handkerchief, wiped it for her, and said in a gentle voice, "Why is it so hot, isn't it heat stroke, this son has already died in a sedan chair." ”
Seeing that the two were intimate so far, Ah Zeng's face was full of astonishment and incomprehension, but his fingers were slowly withdrawn from his waist, and the killing intent on his face was hidden.
Lian Zhi'er looked at a golden bell, wearing it with a small gold chain, "This thing is exquisite, I think our Ah Kong will like it." ”
Ruan Lu only picked it up. looked at it casually, and didn't seem to like it very much, but he still gave it to Lian Zhi'er, "That's it, if you like it, bring it back to him." ”
Ah Zeng wiped away the shock in his eyes, and hurriedly smiled, "This thing is really the most exquisite, this golden bell ......"
"Shut up, who listens to you chanting here......" Ruan Lu's eyes were a little irritable, "Do you know this Shizi?" ”
"Of course you know, but you're a world-famous person." Ah Zeng said with a grin.
"Go back and tell Liang that as long as he has such a thing, this Shizi will cheapen him for nothing." After speaking, he took Lian Zhi'er's hand and walked outside the store.
Sure enough, when I got outside, the sedan chair was ready.
When the two of them got into the sedan chair, they saw that there were ice cubes in it, and there were a few pieces of watermelon in it.
Ruan Lu sat beside her, and when he saw that she was eating with relish, he also frowned and leaned over, and took a bite, it was really very sweet, and the heat on his body was also reduced by half.
Lian Zhi'er saw him bite his watermelon, so he stopped his mouth and asked slowly, "What is the matter with Lord Shicai Liang looking for you?" ”
"It's a matter of going to the border gate, and he persuaded me not to go." There was a complicated look in Ruan Lu's eyes, and he just stared at Lian Zhi'er. "What about you, would you like to go to this world?"
Lian Zhi'er put down the watermelon in his hand and said slowly, "I don't want to." ”
"Oh? Why? Ruan Lu raised his eyebrows, and there seemed to be some interest in his eyes.
"You are all my relatives, how can I watch you kill each other." Tears rolled down Lian Zhi'er's eyes, "Besides, there is Akong, these are also his relatives." ”
Ruan Lu hadn't seen her cry for a long time, even if he had embarrassed her and tortured her like that. She was like a vicious little beast, going toe-to-toe with him.
He slowly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, but there was an unconcealable tenderness in his voice, "But everyone in the world is forcing me to go." ”
"Your Royal Highness, I am willing to be by your side for the rest of my life, as long as you don't kill my relatives, please." Her eyes were full of pleading, and the tears on her face were getting more and more.
"Okay, I'm not going." He relented after all.
He took Lianzhi'er in his arms and gently patted her trembling shoulder. "Don't be afraid."
Lian Zhi'er in her arms showed a sneer, and there was only hatred in her eyes.
******
Sure enough, the ministers of the court recommended Ruan Lu to go to the northern border pass, at this time the border pass has been full of tigers and wolves, these years Yan Cheng Wang has worked hard to recuperate, Beiliang's iron cavalry is more powerful than four years ago.
Whoever dares to go to the border to find death, who dares to bear the reputation of being defeated and ruined, everyone has become a turtle with a shrunken head.
At that time, the majestic General Liu came to the palace on crutches to ask for battle, and even the Queen Mother couldn't hold back her tears, so she ordered someone to send him back to the mansion.
But Ruan Lu never said a word from beginning to end.
It seems that the Queen Mother had already planned to add an official to the Marquis of Suijing, which was extremely wooed, and even Fu Yunhuang was called out of the palace and directly named the first-class lady.
Such a grace, it goes without saying, everyone just waited for Ruan Lu to ask for his life to leave Beijing.
Fu Yunhuang was called into the palace in the morning, and at noon, there was a news of the sealing, and the people in the mansion were happy, but the eldest princess was just indifferent, and only said, "Got it." ”
After noon, Fu Yunhuang went back to the mansion, according to the rules, she was going to ask the eldest princess for peace.
And Lian Zhi'er had to wait for her to go back and say hello to Fu Yunhuang.
Sizhu changed Lian Zhi'er's clothes, and only said with a smile, "I heard that the Queen Mother rewarded the princess with a lot of treasures, but I'm afraid that the princess will have to reward you with a few." You have to pack some silver and reward it to the people around the princess. ”
Lian Zhi'er nodded, she didn't know anything, she just felt that there were too many rules in the Central Plains, and the monthly money every month was not enough to reward those minions with low eyes.
Seeing that there was no one around, Sizhu said in a low voice, "This is the medicine that the slave maid found for you, as long as you give the little princess some of it, it will be uncomfortable in the past two days, and the doctor will naturally diagnose that he is poisoned, and the little princess will not have any major problems, but it will make the eldest princess suspicious." The child is given to you to raise. ”
Lian Zhi'er was a little worried, and said with a worried face, "Isn't that going to be on my head, so what's good?" ”
Sizhu hurriedly said, "Madam, where is this, who can suspect the child's mother of murdering her own child." ”
Lian Zhi'er slowly hid the porcelain vase in his hand, gritted his teeth, and seemed to make up his mind with difficulty, "Okay, even if it's for Akong, I will never put up with it." ”
Sizhu suddenly laughed, but there was endless pride in his eyes, "That's it, the only thing you can rely on in the future is your child, how can you give it to others in vain, these days the prince and the princess have not been in the same room, presumably the prince can't look down on the princess at all, and when she falls out of favor in the future, the master of this mansion is not you!" ”
Lian Zhi'er only sneered in her heart, this silk bamboo really thought she was a fool. It's that Fu Yunhuang can't help Ruan Lu's heart anymore, but with the eldest princess in charge, besides, the eldest princess likes Fu Yunhuang so much, how can she let it go.
Lian Zhi'er only hid the porcelain vase, "Okay, I'll do it later." ”
As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Guan Yue walk in, and said with a displeased face, "The princess has already asked the eldest princess to say goodbye, you should go over, I heard that this time the lady of the edict was crowned, and even the lowest-ranking minions in the mansion were rewarded, and we have nothing for the partial ones." ”
Sizhu scolded coldly, "What are you complaining about, you have the ability to climb the high branches by yourself, don't talk nonsense in front of Mrs. ”
Lian Zhi'er just couldn't hear it, packed everything up, and went to Fu Yunhuang's house.
Sure enough, when I saw that the people in her room were full of joy, they were all happy when Ruan Lu was cold these days, and they only felt that they had followed a good master.
Hearing that Lian Zhi'er was coming, Fu Yunhuang only hurriedly called her in.
Lian Zhi'er just said some compliments, and she felt disgusted when she heard it, but Fu Yunhuang's face was still full of joy, and he really gave Lian Zhi'er a few pieces of jewelry.
Lian Zhi'er looked at several large boxes of treasures, and he only got these few pieces, and couldn't help but sigh secretly that Fu Yunhuang was really stingy.
After speaking for a while, she saw that she had sent everyone out of the house, and said to Lian Zhi'er, "Ah Kong is asleep in the house on the north side, go and take a look." ”
