The sleeping Lianzhi'er looked more docile than ever, like a well-behaved cat.

Ruan Lu's fingers slowly swiped her lips, but she saw that her thin lips were tightly pursed, and they were a little white.

And at this moment, in her sleep, she opened her mouth violently and bit his finger at once.

Accompanied by a piercing pain, Ruan Lu couldn't help but sigh that this woman was only afraid of taking the opportunity to take revenge on herself, but if there was a wound on her hand, she was afraid that her mother would ask for the guilt again, and she would be the one who suffered.

He had to crack her teeth and pull his fingers out.

Sure enough, I saw a few sharp tooth marks on my bony fingers.

He slowly covered the quilt for her, then leaned over and kissed her cold cheek, and was about to turn away.

And at this moment, he felt as if his sleeve was tripped by something, and when he looked down, it was Lian Zhi'er who pulled his sleeve.

He couldn't help laughing, but after all, he couldn't bear to pull his shirt out and just sit beside her.

But I saw that drops of tears kept sliding down the corners of her eyes, even in her sleep, she was crying so sadly.

He reached out to wipe the tears from her cheeks, but listened to her slowly recite a name, "Stain, stain." ”

Enraged, he jerked his hand back.

Because of the strength used, even Zhi'er woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw someone beside him. He let out a scream and sat up with a frightened face.

When he saw that it was Ruan Lu by the moonlight outside the window, he breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

"Your Royal Highness, why are you here?" There was unconcealed trepidation and uneasiness in her voice.

Ruan Lu's voice was surprisingly cold, "You are now the concubine of this world, if this son doesn't come, will you still wait for others to come." ”

Lian Zhi'er only pretended not to understand his sarcasm.

And at this moment, I saw the sound of silk and bamboo coming from the window. "I heard Madame's voice in the house, but what do you have to command?"

Lian Zhi'er glanced at Ruan Lu, but saw that his finger had already landed on his jade belt.

"No, it's okay, but I saw a mouse in the house just now, and this time it's already gone, just catch it tomorrow."

"Yes, the slave will send someone to clean the house again tomorrow." Sizhu said respectfully, "Madame, rest early, it's getting late." ”

Lian Zhi'er was about to speak, but saw that Shi Ran had only dirty clothes left on her body, and then leaned over, kissed her lips, and blocked her words on her lips.

"Woo-" her eyes were full of fear.

"Madame......" Sizhu outside also seemed to sense that something was wrong.

It took almost all her strength to push away, ending the long lingering, "It's okay, you stand down, I'm resting." ”

Soon the dark shadow outside the window was gone. Lian Zhi'er's slender waist was grabbed again, and he fell into endless lingering.

I don't know how long it took, until the only bean-sized light in the room went out, Ruan Lu had already gotten up and dressed.

Lian Zhi'er was covered with cold sweat, but he was much cooler when he walked.

Soon he was dressed, and a pair of obscure eyes fell on her, "Ah Kong is the safest by her side, only this will protect him, understand?" ”

Lian Zhi'er's red eyes were a little foggy, "What about the future?" She has a child, but will she be kind to Akong? ”

Ruan Lu was stunned for a moment, and said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "No, she will never have an heir in her life." ”

After Ruan Lu left, Lian Zhi'er only felt bored, and there was no sleepiness at all, so she only put on a piece of clothing and went for a walk in the yard.

However, where was there anything to shop in the overgrown yard, and soon the cold sweat on her body dissipated, and when she was about to go back, she saw that there seemed to be some strange sounds in the yard next door.

She lifted her skirt and walked to the half-fallen wall, and when she poked her neck to look, she saw a faint dim light in the room in the courtyard next door.

She has always been bold, when she was in Beiliang, she rode out every day, and when she was sleepy, she slept on a tree, and when she woke up the next day, she saw a circle of wolves on the ground.

Thinking so, Lian Zhi'er stepped over the tattered wall, then walked to the next room, and pushed open the somewhat tattered door.

She felt a "chuckle" in her heart, but saw a person sitting on a broken chair in the room, only to see that her left foot and right arm were empty.

The woman heard the movement and slowly turned her head, but made a hoarse voice, "Who?" ”

It was an extremely eerie face, the left eye was empty, there were no eyeballs, and that face was full of hideous marks, scars, and not a single part of the whole face was good.

Lian Zhi'er looked at her and didn't seem to be afraid, "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

The man laughed, but his voice was very sad, "It's a human, but it's a ghost." ”

Lian Zhi'er walked forward slowly, and her voice was quite respectful, "I live next door, I don't know if there are people here, I just came to take a look, it's really disturbing." ”

It seemed that seeing that Lian Zhi'er was not afraid of her, the man looked at Lian Zhi'er with his only eye, and then said slowly. "You're not afraid of me?"

"I'm afraid of ghosts, but you're not." Lian Zhi'er's clear eyes were a little bright in the dark.

"What a powerful girl, are you the new favorite of Master Hou?" The woman laughed, but it was even more eerie, "It seems that the poisonous woman got here too." ”

Lian Zhi'er shook her head, "No, I'm Ruan Lu's concubine. ”

The man was stunned for a moment, and then said slowly, "Yes, the son of the poisonous woman has also married and had children." Unexpectedly, it was like his father, spending every day drinking and hooking up with one woman after another. ”

Ruan Lu is not such a person, Lian Zhi'er knows it, and he doesn't argue.

"Who are you?" Lian Zhi'er looked at her.

"My name is Qiongluo."

Lian Zhi'er was suddenly stunned, and the expression on her face was even more shocked than when Shi just met her, "How did you become like this?" ”

Even Lian Zhi'er, who is in Beiliang, knows that twenty years ago, there was a stunning Qinglou woman named Qiongluo.

In order to win her favor, the men of the world do not know how many treasures of the world have been sent, and the treasures that have become mountains and seas are not the slightest laugh of beauties.

I heard that Qiongluo's singing voice is very beautiful, and he is very good at pipa, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, all proficient in everything.

And just when she was famous all over the world, she disappeared overnight, and everyone only said that she followed her lover away from home, in a no-man's land. Fairy couple, Qin Se and Ming.

When Lian Zhi'er heard this story, she was quite envious, who would have thought that it would end like today.

"How did you end up like this?" Even Zhi'er knew that it was not good to ask such a question, but she couldn't help but blurt it out.

Qiong Luo said slowly, "At the beginning, Yanhou coaxed me with clever words, only saying that he would let me follow him, and then take me away to fly away, but he still can't bear his power, and he can't bear the eldest princess who can bring him infinite scenery." ”

Lian Zhi'er only felt very uncomfortable in her heart, obviously this matter had nothing to do with her.

"Later, he ransomed my body and placed me in a courtyard in Shangjing, and I gave birth to a son for him." Her voice was faint, but it was a little terrible, "Then the poisonous woman found out about this, and ordered me and my son to be tied up in the mansion, and my son was thrown into the charcoal basin in front of me, and I could only watch him be burned to death. ”

Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but feel frightened, and subconsciously thought of her son.

"Didn't Yan Hou say anything?" Lian Zhi'er's eyes were full of surprise.

"He just watched from the sidelines, and didn't say a word." The man suddenly shed a bloody tear, and on her face full of scars, it looked even more hideous and terrifying, "The men of the Ruan family are all so cold. ”

"Your face was also made by the eldest princess?"

"It's her." The man suddenly laughed, "I have been locked up here for the past twenty years, and you are the only one who has spoken to me except for the mute woman who comes every day. ”

Lian Zhi'er originally thought that she was miserable enough, but now she saw such a woman. I suddenly felt creepy, this eldest princess can really do anything, it's just lawless.

His father also had a few concubines, and his mother treated them kindly, and even often gave them jewelry.

Qiong Luo stared at Lian Zhi'er with his only eyeball, and suddenly said slowly, "You don't like Ruan Lu?" ”

Lian Zhi'er only felt a little unbelievable, "How do you know?" ”

"I'm from Qinglou, what kind of people I haven't seen, and what kind of people I haven't guessed." She said slowly, "When you mentioned Ruan Lu, there was only disgust on your face. ”

"I don't like him, he forced me to come, and then took away my son and gave it to his concubine to raise." Lian Zhi'er looked at her and subconsciously asked, "Will you help me?" ”

"Okay, I'll help you." The man walked over slowly. Because she was missing a foot, she was only on a battered stick, and every step was trembling.

She walked in front of Lian Zhi'er with the only lamp that was clearly extinguished, and then shone on Lian Zhi'er's pale cheeks, "It's a beauty, but the arrogance on her face is too heavy, and men won't like it when they see it." ”

Lian Zhi'er was a little puzzled, "What if they don't like it?" ”

"There is no hope in my life, I can help you get Ruan Lu's heart, and even make him die for you." Her voice slowly sounded in Lian Zhi'er's ears, "You have nothing, this is the only thing you can rely on in the future." ”

Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth, "Why do you want to help me like this?" ”

"I naturally have what I want in the future." Qiongluo looked at her, "God really looks at me pitiful, and finally let me wait for you." ”

"How do I get my son back?" Lian Zhi'er looked at her, as long as she could help herself do this, she let herself be calculated.

******

Shi Ran has always had nightmares in the past few days, and he kept sending people to find Lian Zhi'er's whereabouts, but everyone searched for it, but there was no news.

He had already gotten up at dawn, and his face was as white as paper.

When he got out of the house, he saw that the little guy outside was hurrying away, and he almost bumped into Shi Ran.

When the little guy saw that it was him, he couldn't help but kneel on the ground in fright.

"Why this rush?" There are rules in Shifu, and even the minions below are not allowed to make noise, let alone run around.

"I paid the monthly money today, and Luo Qi ordered me to redeem what he pawned yesterday. I didn't think that I had eaten too much wine yesterday, but I forgot it for a while, and now I only come to the business as soon as possible. ”

As he spoke, the man pulled a few things out of his cuffs.

Luoqi has been spending money lavishly, demolishing the east wall to make up the west wall, and pawning some things when there is no money is also a common thing, and the dyeing is known.

He wasn't a nosy person in the first place, and besides, he was about to go early, so he turned around to leave.

And at this very moment. But his eyes suddenly saw a piece of gold, but he saw that it was a golden lock, and the familiar ornament pierced his heart like a needle.

He frowned tightly, "Call Luoqi to come to me." ”

The little guy couldn't help but tremble with fright, "My lord, it's time to go to court now, if it's delayed-"

Shi Ran's voice was extremely cold, even with a bit of urgency, "Go quickly." ”

Soon, the chess fell and ran over. He also knew that it was the golden lock that was known, so he only came to Shi Ran's front and knelt on the ground with a plop, unable to even say half a word of begging for mercy.

"Where did this thing come from?" There was a bit of coldness in Shi Ran's voice, which made it difficult for Luo Qi to even tell the lies he had thought of.

"The woman gave it to me." He hurriedly explained, not daring to hide the slightest, "On that day, His Royal Highness the Prince of the World got married, and the county lord of Beiliang came to the mansion with his dead child, and the slave thought that this matter must not be let the master know, so he didn't reply. ”

"The kid died?" There was a tremor in his voice.

"I heard from the doorkeeper that he was dead, and he couldn't even breathe, but the woman still wouldn't let go." Luo Qi was sweating profusely, and he was also frightened by Shi Ran's expression at this time for a while.

Shi Ran kicked at the chest of Luo Qi, and directly with a heart-warming kick, Luo Qi fell back a few steps, and looked at Shi Ran in disbelief.

This was the first time he had seen Shi Dye's hair so angry, it was just for the county lord of Beiliang, he was a model of a scholar in the world, how could he personally beat his own minions.

Luoqi couldn't help but shed tears, and only reached out to fan his face, crying, "It's all the slave's fault, the slave fights by himself, so as not to dirty the adult's feet." ”

Shi Ran's face was as pale as paper, "You don't have to serve by my side in the future, let the housekeeper arrange another place for you." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned around and left, he is a smart person, he knows who he will go to in this capital, who is unrelated and desperate, but he also knows what kind of person the eldest princess is, how can she tolerate Lian Zhi'er.

Unexpectedly, the court was not at ease today, and the news that almost made everyone creepy came from the border pass, and everyone was panicked.

After King Yan Cheng returned to Beiliang with his brother's bones, he did not have the slightest intention of reconciling with the Central Plains, but stationed 100,000 soldiers at the border pass. actually made a posture of attacking the Central Plains.

The ministers in the court were all panicked, so they had to scold indiscriminately in the court.

Just talk about wolf ambitions, feed uncooked beasts, and should have been killed in the first place.

The Queen Mother has been even more ill these days, only barely supporting her weak body, seeing that the courtiers are arguing, she has no strength to scold them for a while, and the young emperor is full of panic, as if the sky has fallen.

Even some timid and fearful people even proposed to make peace with Beiliang, and let the princess bring a large number of treasures, so that the people of Beiliang could calm their anger.

As far as Hou is concerned, he is constantly fighting, only saying that King Yan Cheng is clearly a wolf's ambition, and if he sends the princess over is just a sheep into the tiger's mouth, it will only make Beiliang's iron cavalry more unscrupulous.

And Shi Ran didn't say a word from beginning to end, he only felt a little helpless, he didn't expect such a thing to happen, and now the lord of Beiliang has become a hot potato. The people of the Central Plains will never hand her over, and they will use her identity to dominate the people of Beiliang.

But who knows if the people of Beiliang will give up this revenge for the sake of a county lord.

Finally, the Queen Mother behind the veil coughed lightly, and everyone quieted down, just waiting for the woman's orders.

"Yes, the people of Beiliang will definitely not give up, I don't know which minister is willing to go to the border to fight?" The Queen Mother looked at everyone slowly.

But these people are pampered and accustomed to it, when they saw the Beiliang people, they were scared away half of their lives, who dared to go to the border pass to fight with the Beiliang people, and in the capital, they can still calculate the Beiliang people, but at the border pass, that is really the world of the Beiliang people.

Yan Hou couldn't help but set his eyes on his son, if he stood up at this time, if he repelled the Beiliang people in the future, then they would be the most powerful people in the world.

Ruan Lu seemed to be in deep thought, he almost stood up, but he still held back, he knew that if he went to fight to the death with the Beiliang people, but it was her relatives who were killed, then she only had the reason to hate her more.

The Queen Mother's gaze swept over everyone's body, but finally fell on Ruan Lu's body, but she still said slowly, "That's it, this matter will be discussed tomorrow, and please remember that if the Beiliang people enter Shangjing, you will only be worse than four years ago." ”

For a while, the ministers were even more panicked, and they only waited for the emperor and the queen mother to leave, and then they often went out to talk about it.

Ruan Lu just stepped out of the Jinluan Palace, but saw a figure blocking in front of him, he raised his eyes to look, but saw that his face was full of complicated dyeing.

"What is this for? Could it be that Lord Shi still can't go on the expedition? You tell this prince that it's useless, just tell the Queen Mother that it is. ”

His voice was full of sour sarcasm, but Shi Ran didn't care.

"She's in your mansion, isn't she? You hid her. Shi Ran looked at her directly, "Give her to me and leave her in the Eldest Princess's Mansion, she has only one way to die." ”

Ruan Lu suddenly laughed.
