Chapter 97: He Agrees to Marriage
After he finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves away, but seeing that Shicai himself broke the wine jug and hurt her, he still inadvertently kicked those slags away.
Seeing him leave, she rubbed her sore knees for a long time and slowly stood up, but when she turned around, she saw that the broken porcelain that was originally by her side had been kicked far away.
She stood where she was for a long time, but saw Yun Dou'er walking over with Ah Kong in her arms.
Ah Kong was crying in her arms, her little jade face full of tears.
Lian Zhi'er hurriedly walked over, "What's wrong with him?" ”
Yun Dou'er hurriedly said, "I don't know why His Royal Highness the Prince of the World was so angry, and he left directly, and the little boy saw it and was frightened." ”
Lian Zhi'er took Ah Kong in his arms, and the child stopped crying, and only put his little face to Lian Zhi'er's chest.
She slapped Ah Kong on the back a few times, and Ah Kong stopped crying.
Yun Dou'er smiled, "Sure enough, his favorite is Madame." ”
Lian Zhi'er reached out and pinched the child's cheek, showing a bit of love on her face, "My family Akong is the most well-behaved." ”
"I don't know what the little boy's full name is." Yundou asked, "The slave has never heard a call. ”
"His name is Liankong." Lian Zhi'er's heart was shocked.
Yun Dou'er didn't think about the child's surname, but said with a smile, "It's really an excellent name, it must have been given by His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but think of the person who was plain and elegant, and his eyes looked a little complicated.
She handed the child to Yun Dou'er. Ignoring Akong's crying, "I'll go to the street and buy some more peach blossom stuffing." ”
After saying that, she hurried away, leaving only Akong, who was full of grievances, looking at the back of her mother's disappearance.
*****
In the prison outside the city, even in the middle of summer, it was still cold to the bone.
Ruan Lu stepped in, and in an instant, the room seemed to be a little colder.
The shackles on Shi Ran's body had been removed, and his white clothes were covered with shocking blood. The handsome face is even whiter, as if it were transparent.
It seems that these jailers are clearly lynching.
"Master Shi, why should you suffer such a crime, just sign and draw, and everything will be over." Ruan Lu looked at him with a sneer.
Shi Ran looked at him with the same cold gaze, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World is this a trick today?" Why admit what you haven't done? ”
Ruan Lu sneered, "If this son wants to die alone, even if he is dying and struggling, it is useless." ”
Shi Ran looked at him, "There are some things that you are destined not to keep, even if I die. ”
Ruan Lu's heart tightened, "Then everything is just waiting for you to die." ”
After speaking, Ruan Lu shook his hand, and the guards around him suddenly understood, so he only walked over, held down Shi Ran's hand, and drew a charge on the paper.
A blood-red fingerprint remained on the rice paper. As long as he sent it to the Queen Mother, he would have no way to live.
Ruan Lu took the paper that the guard respectfully sent, put it in his arms expressionlessly, and then pulled the corners of his lips carelessly, "She is mine, and no one can take it away." ”
On the crowded street, Lian Zhi'er was standing in a shop, and the guy looked her up and down, and then asked, "What does the girl want to buy?" Looking at the girl's style, she is only worthy of the best jewelry we have here. ”
Lian Zhi'er looked at him, "I want to see Ah Zeng." ”
The man had already understood, and then asked Lian Zhi'er to wait outside, and soon saw Ah Zeng running over in a hurry.
As soon as he saw Lian Zhi'er, he said with a smile, "Your Royal Highness the County Lord, you are really powerful, just a few days of work have made the eldest princess's mother and son turn against each other, our plan is just around the corner, and soon you will be able to return to Beiliang." ”
She looked at his face flushed with excitement, and she said slowly, "I'm going to save Shi from prison." ”
In an instant, Ah Zeng's face changed, "No, I calculated that we Beiliang people have his share, and we are still waiting to clean him up in the future, but I didn't expect him to end up like this today, and he still deserves it." ”
Lian Zhi'er had this indescribable pain in his eyes, "I am the county lord of Beiliang, and my younger brother is the king of Beiliang." ”
When she said this, there was a majesty in her voice, and it had the air of her father and brother.
"Yes." Na Azeng said slowly, "It's just that it's not easy to save people from prison, besides, there are only a handful of Beiliang people hidden in Beijing, and we can't rob prisoners." ”
"Is there really no way?" Lian Zhi'er's voice trembled.
"You are by Ruan Lu's side, why do you still ask your subordinates?" Ah Zeng narrowed his eyes, a little more cunning, "The people who guard the prison are his subordinates, so naturally they only recognize his seal." ”
Ruan Lu didn't go back until it was dark, and the courtyard was lonely and cold.
As he walked down the verandah, he saw the slender figure sitting in the pavilion.
Under the bright moonlight, she sat on the steps, I don't know how many wine jars were thrown on the ground, and the whole person leaned against the railing, looking drunk.
Ruan Lu walked over slowly, and sure enough, he smelled the pungent smell of wine on her body.
The shadow of his body cast on her, as if she felt it, and she slowly raised her misty eyes, "You're here?" Is His Royal Highness still angry? ”
He was full of anger. But when I looked at her pitiful appearance, everything vanished.
Ruan Lu stretched out his hand to pick her up, but unexpectedly, she clung to the railing and refused to let go, and muttered, "Is it okay to drink with me, is it okay to ......"
Ruan Lu couldn't help laughing, and only sat beside her as if he was fated.
And drunken and hazy, she handed a jar of wine to him, "Let's get drunk and rest." ”
After saying that, she took another jar and drank it, and it was very pleasant.
Ruan Lu knew that the people of Beiliang had always drunk the strongest wine, and even Zhi'er had become accustomed to it.
He also drank, and after a while, he was already faintly drunk, and fell asleep against the railing.
And at this moment, Lian Zhi'er looked at him carefully, where was there still a little drunkness in her eyes, and it was clear that everything was pretended by her.
"His Royal Highness." She called softly.
Because of nervousness, there was a little tremor in her voice.
However, Ruan Lu was still asleep, and there was no sound at all.
Lian Zhi'er slowly reached out and poked into the placket of his chest, and sure enough, it didn't take long for him to take out a very small seal.
They shared the bed all day, and she had seen the seal a few times.
Lian Zhi'er took out a few documents that had been prepared, and pressed his seal only by the moonlight.
This seal is small. But it can make all the forbidden troops in the capital obey.
When she had put it away, she turned and left.
As long as the people in the mansion gave her an order, no one dared to stop her from going out, and Ah Zeng was already waiting for her not far from the mansion.
However, before she left, Ruan Lu, who was originally drunk, slowly opened her eyes.
He slowly picked up the jar of wine that Lian Zhi'er had drunk just now, but he couldn't smell the slightest aroma of wine, and all she drank was water.
"Lian Zhi'er......" he slowly read her name, with a chill in the heart, "you still let me down." ”
The cells in the capital became more and more eerie in the middle of the night, and Lian Zhi'er only gave all the folds to Ah Zeng.
"Isn't there really anything going wrong?" Her voice was full of apprehension.
"Don't worry, the county lord just needs to wait here, and his subordinates will come back soon." Ah Zeng comforted her, "I will take him out of the cell." ”
Lian Zhi'er took out a piece of jade from his arms, and then said, "If Shi Ran doesn't come out with you, you just give him this jade pendant, and just say that I will wait for him to come out outside." ”
Ah Zeng didn't hesitate anymore, just took it, and hurriedly went to the cell with the claw lamp.
Lian Zhi'er sat in the carriage and waited for a long time, but when she saw that there seemed to be movement outside, she held her breath and hurriedly opened the curtain. All of a sudden, I saw the dyeing.
Lian Zhi'er looked at him, "Why are you injured like this?" They're too ruthless. ”
"Nothing." The voice of the dye was faint.
Soon he was seated in the carriage, and with the sound of the carriage crashing on the bluestone bricks, they headed straight out of the city.
Lian Zhi'er handed over a package beside him, "This is a clean dress, it's the crescent moon white you like, change it." ”
With that, she turned around and walked away.
Now there was only a rickety lantern in the car, and there was nothing to see in the dark.
Sure enough, there was a voice behind him, and then Shi Ran's voice came, "Are you going with me?" ”
Lian Zhi'er knew that he couldn't see it, but he still shook his head desperately, "This package contains the silver that the adults will live in in the future, you just have to do what you like in the future, the ends of the earth, don't be caught again." ”
Shi Ran had already changed his clothes, "Come with me." Or I'll take you to Beiliang with me. ”
Lian Zhi'er only felt a suffocation in her chest, and said slowly, "I can't go anywhere, I still have Akong, he is Ruan Lu's son." ”
Shi Ran's eyes gradually dimmed, and at this moment, he saw that the carriage had stopped, and Lian Zhi'er only opened the curtain to look outside, but saw that it was actually at the city gate to the north.
"If you let me go, how can he let you go?"
Lian Zhi'er's eyes were the same, "He won't hurt me." ”
At this moment, he saw a guard with a knife coming down from the city tower, "Who are you, the city gate has been closed, let's go out of the city tomorrow." ”
Ah Zeng lowered his voice and said, "We are going out of the city on an errand, and at this time, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World wrote a document. ”
After saying that, he had already handed it over to the person who was the leader, and the man leaned under the lantern to look at it, and snorted coldly, "This is the seal of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World, but he said it today, if anyone dares to go out of the city with the paper, take it together." ”
Shi Ran was the first to understand, and saw Lian Zhi'er's face full of astonishment. Hurriedly grabbed her hand, "Hurry up." ”
After he finished speaking, he ripped Lian Zhi'er out of the carriage, and Lian Zhi'er barely stood firm, but saw that the city wall was suddenly illuminated as if it were daylight, and the first handsome person looked at her with a smile, and there was no longer the slightest drunkenness in his dark eyes.
Lian Zhi'er hurriedly said, "Hurry up." ”
Ah Zeng saw that there were already countless people around him, and in a hurry, he only knew that he must not be exposed. He pulled the horses out of the carriage at once, and after getting on the horses skillfully, he galloped towards the city.
The Beiliang people were the most skilled at riding horses, even if dozens of people went to surround them, they still let Ah Zeng run away.
Ruan Lu slowly walked towards Lian Zhi'er, as if he didn't care if Ah Zeng had caught it or not.
His gaze was gloomy, and there was an endless chill in his voice, "Come back with me." ”
"Just let the dyeing go. Please. Lian Zhi'er's voice trembled, "I just wanted to let him out of the city, I didn't want to leave you and Akong." ”
Ruan Lu didn't say anything, just reached out and pulled Lian Zhi'er's arm.
Shi Ran also dragged Lian Zhi'er's other arm, and both of them used a lot of strength to almost tear Lian Zhi'er off it.
Finally, all Ruan Lu's good temper was exhausted, but seeing him smile coldly, he said to Shi Ran, "If you don't want her to bury you with you, you just pull her." ”
Hearing this, he really let go.
Lian Zhi'er was dragged forward by Ruan Lu for a few steps, but heard Ruan Lu's cold voice coming from his side, "Shi Ran escaped from prison and will be killed immediately." ”
These forbidden soldiers are all his subordinates, and his words are more effective than the holy decree, and sure enough, some people have already rushed to the dye, as if they want to correct him on the spot.
"Stop." A majestic voice came, but I saw a group of soldiers galloping from the streets of Beijing, and a familiar figure slowly came down from the carriage headed by the leader.
It was the eldest princess who came.
In this capital, there are spies of the eldest princess everywhere, and she can know anything about it, and when she heard that Ruan Lu came to the city gate late at night with troops, she expected that something would happen, so she suspected that it had something to do with Shi Dye.
She didn't want Shi Ran to be killed, and she was even dissatisfied with Ruan Lu's framing and framing, and now the people in the court, she admires Shi Ran very much, even if Shi Ran refused to marry at the beginning, she still hopes that he can marry her daughter.
When everyone saw the eldest princess, they all knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Ruan Lu's face was even more ugly, and he seemed very dissatisfied with why his mother would step in sideways.
"Mother, there are fugitives here. The son has been arrested, and he asked his mother to go back. Ruan Lu was afraid that something would happen, "Shi Ran has already pleaded guilty, and the indictment signed and drawn tomorrow will be presented to the Queen Mother." ”
The eldest princess never thought that Ruan Lu would do it so quickly, but now she can't say anything, and there is no way out for a while.
Seeing this, Lian Zhi'er knelt on the ground, "Please ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to save Shi Ran, he was wronged, and he has already promised to have Miss Ruan as his wife." ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.
"Really?" The eldest princess looked at Shi Dye, who was silent, with a bit of inquiry.
And he slowly looked at Lian Zhi'er, but saw that her eyes were full of pleading.
Whether it is life or death, it all depends on his words.
He was not a person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, but at this time, he only wanted to be by her side forever.
"Yes, I am married to Miss Ruan. Please also ask Her Royal Highness the eldest princess to agree. His voice was no longer as light as it had been.
"It seems that everything was a misunderstanding." The eldest princess smiled, and the wrinkles hidden between her eyebrows came out, "Ruan Lu, we will all be a family in the future, how can you watch him be wronged, tomorrow I will personally enter the palace to intercede with the Queen Mother to repay his name." ”
Lian Zhi'er clearly felt Ruan Lu's fingertips cold, but he gritted his teeth, "Yes, it's all a misunderstanding." ”
The eldest princess looked at Shi Ran, and became more and more fond of it, and knew in her heart that she had chosen a noble son-in-law for her daughter, but looking at the relationship between Shi Ran and Lian Zhi'er, it was extraordinary, but where did she dare to ask in front of everyone.
"Since all the property in Shifu has been confiscated, you will enter the eldest princess's mansion in the future, and when you have a mansion in the future, it will not be too late to move there." The eldest princess was afraid that Shi Dye would regret it, "Tomorrow, I will let the matchmaker choose a good day, and you will get married as soon as possible." ”
Lian Zhi'er looked at Shi Ran, and he also looked at her, and finally he slowly knelt on the ground, obviously such a worldly character, but he suffered a strange kind of humiliation.
"Yes."
The eldest princess nodded with satisfaction, and then her eyes fell on Lian Zhi'er and Ruan Lu, "It's both angry and sometimes, since your sister is going to get married, you will also move back to the mansion together." ”
Ruan Lu's teeth clenched, but he still agreed, "Yes." ”
Lian Zhi'er felt that everything was very ridiculous, as if everything was out of control.
******
Sure enough, on the second day, the eldest princess entered the palace and revealed the queen mother, only saying that Shi Ran was framed.
The queen mother also knew that Shi Ran was a talent who could help the emperor's industry, and her body was not as good as day by day, so she had to leave a few useful talents by the side of the little emperor.
Moreover, she also understood that dyeing was just to avenge his father, and she was just to fulfill his filial piety.
She also hurriedly washed away Shi Ran's grievances, and then in order to compensate Shi Ran, she personally gave him the eldest princess's concubine.
For a while, there were different opinions in the court, and the market was even more popular. Shi Ran and Fu Yunhuang were originally immortal couples, a pair made in heaven, but now they have been forcibly dismantled, and they all went to fill the pit of the eldest princess.
What's even more ridiculous is that a character like Shi Ran wants to be a door-to-door son-in-law. As soon as the resentful couple met, they were ......
The story of this is not enough to make up hundreds of words.
However, the eldest princess was more anxious than anyone else, and only bought off the Qin Tianjian in the palace, only saying that three days later would be an excellent day.
Lian Zhi'er also returned to the mansion, and then watched the three days of work, and the mansion was dressed in red and hung with colors, which was even more lively than when Ruan Lu got married.
On this day, Lian Zhi'er was watching the maids hanging colored paper on the tree, but saw Fu Yunhuang coming over, and then sent everyone away, staring at Lian Zhi'er with cold eyes like sharp blades.
"It's all a good thing you did, and now we're really a family." She is such a beautiful person, but at this time, because of her anger, her face looks a little distorted.
Lian Zhi'er took a deep breath, "What am I satisfied with?" Isn't there anything wrong with the princess in this matter? Don't think I don't know who is hell-bent on killing Shi Ran. ”
