After he left, Lian Zhi'er looked at his hand in a daze, which was still red, and then said aggrievedly, "I don't know why I beat him, I just think that this kid is too arrogant, I'm a little afraid." ”

There seemed to be a mist between Shi Ran's eyebrows, so that he couldn't see clearly, "I'll protect you, don't be afraid." ”

Lian Zhi'er nodded slowly, and then said slowly, "I'll go see Lian Huan." ”

Shi Ran also knew that the temperament of the two sisters and brothers was the same, and only sighed, "You must persuade each other with good words, I feel that I can't do it anymore, now that you are his dearest, you must not be suspicious anymore." ”

Lian Zhi'er's face was straight, and she couldn't help but nodded.

When she rushed over, she saw Lian Juan standing at the foot of the Hanging Snow Mountain, letting the cold wind blow on him.

Lian Zhi'er stepped on the snow and walked over slowly, only bowing her head and saying, "Ah Huan, it's all my sister's fault, will you forgive my sister?" ”

Lian Juan suddenly turned his head, but his face was full of guilt.

"It's me who is sorry for my sister, it was I who killed the Lian Weed, but my uncle doesn't care about me. In the future, I will definitely treat him well, and I don't think I will be suspicious of half a point. ”

Lian Zhi'er didn't seem to expect him to say such a thing, and couldn't help but be a little stunned.

However, Lian Huan's eyes are all clear, and the clean is really pure.

Lian Zhi'er still felt that something was wrong.

*******

The cold winter in Beijing seems to be endless, only half a month of heavy snow, the snow on the bluestone on the street has not dried, and a new layer has been paved, piled up, it is thicker than bricks.

Ruan Lu's departure is more than half a month. But the ministers all started talking about it, and they had all kinds of nonsense.

There are even those who say that Shi is infected with an incurable disease, or is addicted to beauty, regardless of the affairs in the court, what is even more ridiculous is that he was killed by King Yan Cheng.

There were also ministers who came to the mansion because of urgent matters, but they were all blocked back by Fu Yunhuang, and she only discussed with her father to deal with it.

However, Gonggong Liu in the palace took advantage of the situation to control the court, and became more and more flattering in front of the emperor, and then named the four attendants in the palace as four permanent attendants, and he was in the limelight for a while.

Although I prepare all kinds of delicacies every day, I really don't know the taste of food, my heart is depressed, and my stomach seems to be stuffed with stones and bricks.

It's just that occasionally I'm bored, so I go to accompany the crazy and stupid eldest princess, and within this year she is in shape, and her temples are white. A woman who still has charm has become like an old woman.

Xi Xi is a gentle and kind woman, the people in the mansion saw that the eldest princess was crazy, they just wanted to hide away, only Xi Xi occasionally went to check her pulse, and then accompanied her to talk.

And the eldest princess is sometimes confused, and sometimes she suddenly understands clearly, but when she is confused, she goes crazy everywhere to find Yanhou, and when she is sober, she only tears vigorously.

On this day, she personally brewed soothing tea, and then coaxed the eldest princess to drink it.

When the maids saw her with her, they thought she was gentle and a good talker, so they took the opportunity to be lazy.

Seeing that it was a little cold in the house, he didn't call the maid in, but only took the silver hook to stir the charcoal fire in the charcoal basin.

And at this moment, I saw the voice of the eldest princess coming from behind me, "Where did Ruan Lu go?" Where did my son go? ”

Unfortunately, the silver hook in her hand fell to the ground in fright, and she hurriedly turned around, but saw that the eldest princess had already pounced in front of her, and her mouth kept shouting to see Ruan Lu.

She was wearing cotton clothes, and she felt that the eldest princess's nails were almost sinking into her flesh.

She didn't hide it either, "Husband has gone to Beiliang and will be back soon." ”

Who knew that the eldest princess heard the word "Bei Liang", and her face turned pale when she suddenly changed, "He must have abducted that woman, for the sake of that woman, he can ignore anything, not even his life." ”

"No, the prince will come back, don't worry about it." ”

The eldest princess became more and more crazy, shaking her weak body vigorously, "Do you think he is in love with you by treating you well?" You don't know how much he loves that woman, he can deceive others, but he can't deceive me, a mother. ”

It's a pity that she is pregnant, how can she withstand such a toss, so she hurriedly said, "Mother, I still have the prince's child in my womb." ”

Hearing this, the eldest princess seemed to be frightened, and quickly let go of her hand.

But seeing the eldest princess, she suddenly said excitedly, "Hurry up, he won't let your child be born, go quickly." ”

I was a little frightened, "Mother, this is my husband's child." ”

The eldest princess suddenly laughed sadly, like a mad ghost, and she didn't know whether she was awake or confused, "He will never tolerate the woman next to him giving birth to his child, you fool, just take your child and run for your life." ”

I regretted that I came out of the house in despair, but I saw that it was sunny today, and the dazzling sunlight shone on the glazed tiles of the palace, and the folds were shining.

She was helped back by the maid, but saw Fu Yunhuang coming over.

She is also anxious every day these days. People are also much haggard.

"I've seen the princess." I sorry to respectfully greet you.

Fu Yunhuang said with a smile, "I was about to invite you, but I didn't expect to meet you here, and now the prince is back." ”

It is a pity that the spring light on his face is suddenly full, and the boredom in Shicai's heart is swept away, "Where is the prince?" ”

"Look at how anxious you are." Fu Yunhuang smiled and said in a low voice, "We don't know how many details in the house, Qi can make him come back blatantly, he is waiting in the temple outside the city, waiting for us to come back quietly in the past." ”

Xixi's face was full of joy, and he subconsciously touched his flat lower abdomen.

The carriage of the Regent's Mansion was naturally hugged from front to back, and countless guards opened the way, and pedestrians had to avoid it.

Fu Yunhuang asked people to spread a blanket in the cherished carriage, which was very comfortable to stay, and everything in the carriage was also available.

I can't help but sigh that Fu Yunhuang is really a person who is as careful as dust, there is no place that he can't think of, and he is worthy of being Ruan Lu's good helper.

The carriage creaked over the heavy snow.

Pregnant people are prone to drowsiness, so she only leaned on the soft pillow and fell asleep slowly.

At this moment, he felt the carriage under him shake violently, and the small table in the carriage was crooked, and the teapots and cups on it fell on the sheepskin blanket.

But I heard someone outside exclaim, "Hurry up and pull the horse, this beast is crazy." ”

She quickly lifted the curtain. But he saw that there was already a mess outside, and the tall red horse just ran out of the crowd with all his strength.

Her legs were weak with fright, but there was nothing around her to hold on, only to roll around in the carriage.

Soon the horse ran away, but the carriage overturned on a stone, and the broken veil of the thin body floated away.

The snow on the ground was very thick, but her body still fell as if it was broken, and she subconsciously lowered her head, but saw the flawless snow, which was gradually stained by the blood that flowed out of her body.

She called weakly, "Child, my child." ”

Immediately, her eyes gradually became dull, as if she was about to faint.

She watched Ruan Lu, dressed in a blue satin crow robe, appear on the snow from afar, just looking at all this indifferently, while Fu Yunhuang was standing beside her, and seemed to be saying something expressionlessly.

She was still in great pain and fainted.

When she woke up, the sky outside was already dark and oppressive, and there was a faint sound of wind, whimpering like a ghost crying wolf, but there was not a little snow.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Ruan Lu sitting on the edge of her bed, her dark eyes seemed to contain something annoying, and her eyebrows were tightly wrinkled.

She sat up and tugged at Ruan Lu's sleeve, her voice trembling a little because of nervousness. "Lord Wang, is our child still there, right?"

Ruan Lu's eyes were a little sad, "We are still young, and there will definitely be children." All the minions who went out with you today have been removed, because they did not take good care of you. ”118

The tears of pity rolled down, crying miserably, and then fainted again in a drowsy state.

Ruan Lu saw that he was asleep, so he slowly went out, it was very cold outside, and the cold wind was blowing on his face like a sharp knife.

Fu Yunhuang walked alone with a complicated face, only looked at Ruan Lu, and said slowly, "Father said that the four permanent servants are becoming more and more unruly in the palace, and I don't know what to say to the little emperor, I am afraid that there will be disaster if I keep it in the future." ”

Ruan Lu smiled coldly, "It's just a few eunuchs, and it's not a big deal for us to bewitch a weak and incompetent emperor." It's just that now this king is bent on dealing with Bei Liang, and time can control those useless people. ”

Fu Yunhuang was relieved when he saw him so confident, and only asked, "It seems that the prince has gained a lot from this trip to Beiliang, and the weapons and grain and grass you sent to King Shuolang have been quietly prepared, just waiting for your orders, and they can be sent to Beiliang quietly immediately." ”

Ruan Lu nodded slowly, and then looked at the crane flapping its wings indiscriminately under the corridor, and only sneered, "This king has to help him, otherwise with his ability, he will definitely not be able to hide it." ”

Fu Yunhuang frowned, every time he mentioned Shi Ran, he could always break her calm, "How can he be willing to come back?" ”

Ruan Lu's eyes showed a cold look, "Isn't his father still in Luoyang?" Doesn't this allow him to obediently get into the trap? ”

Her fingers slowly brushed the stove in her hand, obviously hot, but her fingertips were still trembling.

******

This is the coldest winter in Beiliang, the snow is incomprehensible, and I don't know how many cattle and sheep have frozen to death.

Lian Zhi'er went hunting and came back, even with a bow and arrow, so he picked up some hares that had frozen to death.

When she returned to the tent listlessly, she saw the sparse lights in the tent from afar, so she couldn't help but feel warm in her heart and walked in slowly.

saw Shi Ran sitting on the soft couch in the room, and the mask on his face reflected the firelight, which was a little gloomy.

She walked slowly. He cleared his throat, "I heard that you haven't eaten today, can't you eat if you don't see me for a while?" ”

Shi Ran slowly raised his pale eyes, only to see that Lian Zhi'er's wet deerskin boots were covered in mud.

"I received a letter today about the loss of chess, and my father went six days ago."

Lian Zhi'er was cold, and she felt the cold that soaked into the bone marrow, and she sat down on the ground, only then did she see the pain hidden in his pale pupils.

She couldn't care less about feeling sorry for him. Just hurriedly said, "Do you want to go back to the Central Plains?" ”

"Yes." His voice was also filled with endless reluctance.

Under the dim light, her face turned pale, "No, you can't go back, I'm afraid it's the man's conspiracy, he is now the regent, and he won't let us go easily." ”

His eyes were like a deep pool of water, "He is my father." ”

Lian Zhi'er suddenly remembered. When he entered Beijing that day, he also heard that even his mother had died, and he did not have a trace of grief, but now when he sees him in such grief, he knows that he is also different.

She was afraid that he would never return, because she had so much in her hands now, and she would always be afraid that it would all be lost.

Lian Zhi'er endured the sadness in her heart, "I will let Ah Zeng choose the most powerful guards in the royal court and escort you back." ”

Shi Ran never thought that she would agree so happily, but slowly hugged her in his arms.

Now that Beiliang's iron cavalry can go unscrupulously in the Central Plains, Ruan Lu does not dare to be an enemy of King Yan Cheng now, and all the dyes are determined that Ruan Lu does not dare to act blatantly.

Lian Zhi'er buried her face deep in his arms, "I'll wait for you to come back, definitely." ”

Shi Ran's chin rested against the top of her head, "You must be optimistic about Lian Huan these days, and you can't make any mistakes, and you must not take it lightly when you guard against King Shuolang." ”

Lian Zhi'er nodded his head, letting his tears soak his clothes.

Lian Zhi'er only sent him to the Cover Letter Pass, and then went to the nearest pass in Luoyang, but he could reach it in five or six days.

In front of her was the tall city wall of the Central Plains, but behind her was the boundless snow of the North Cool.

Seeing that it was time to separate, Lian Zhi'er took a deep breath, "Take care." ”

Shi Ran seemed to be looking for something from afar, and Lian Zhi'er knew in his heart that he was waiting for Lian Huan to come and see him off, but the kid didn't come, which made Ruan Lu very worried, and he only felt that something was going to happen.

He gathered the cloak on her body for her, "Go back, it's cold, so as not to freeze." ”

Lian Zhi'er's eyes had a fine luster, and she only held back her tears, "Your father is gone, but I will accompany you and never leave you." If you die first, I will not live alone. ”

Shi Ran couldn't help but sigh when he saw him come so childishly.

And at this moment, Ah Zeng's face was also full of impatience, and he only smiled, "The county lord doesn't have to worry, his subordinates will bring back your husband completely, if there is a hair missing, you can only punish the crime." ”

After saying that, he kicked on the horse's belly, and suddenly the horse rushed into the city wall as fast as he could.

Shi Ran had to follow, and for a while, the iron horse disappeared into the tall city walls.

Lian Zhi'er always felt panicked, as if something was going to happen.

It wasn't until there was sunset in the sky that Lian Zhi'er turned back.

The road back to the royal court was very long, but it was getting late, and she drove her horse back, but unexpectedly a group of merchants got on the road.

Where is there any cargo on this big night, aren't you afraid of wolves eating it, besides, now the north is cold and there is snow everywhere. It's hard to walk during the day, let alone at night.

She only followed not far away, and even let the horse go, only letting it go back to the royal court on its own.

The more she followed, the more strange she became, that these people were only taking the middle of nowhere, and that the weight on the carriage seemed to be heavy, and that the carriage had sunk into it several times.

When those people went to light the fire and cook, Lian Zhi'er only hurriedly and quietly went up to take a look, and then lifted the oilcloth, and his face was suddenly full of shock, it was all weapons and food.

Most of these weapons were bows and arrows from the Central Plains, and they were newly created.

Lian Zhi'er listened to the tone of their voices, and there was no doubt that Shuolangbu was there.

She hurriedly went back, tomorrow is Lian Yan's wedding, and she has to tell King Yan Cheng quickly.

She ran for two hours before she arrived at Yan Chengbu, and without waiting for everyone to reply, she went straight to King Yan Cheng's tent.

Because tomorrow is the wedding, but seeing the joy and excitement everywhere, King Yan Cheng was drinking with his subordinates, and when he saw Lian Zhi'er hurriedly breaking in, his face suddenly changed greatly.

Mrs. Mei was pouring wine for King Yan Cheng, because her son was killed by Lian Huan a few days ago, and she only cried about dying and coming back to life, and King Yan Cheng said that she would be crowned princess, and she was better.

Tomorrow, her daughter will marry to Shuolangbu, and she will be in the limelight in the future.

Now that I saw Lian Zhi'er, only the new hatred and the old hatred were sandwiched together, and I only snorted coldly, "County Lord, this is our Yan Chengbu, not your royal court, so I don't care about the face of the web page, you broke in like this, I don't know that I think you are a thief." ”

When her eyebrows were so hot, Lian Zhi'er didn't want to talk to her, but she just looked at the room full of people and said hurriedly, "I can't get married tomorrow." ”

Now the people in Yan Chengbu were all carried away by joy, where could they hear this, and they were all furious, "What does the county lord mean by this?" ”

Lian Zhi'er took a deep breath, "I saw that the people of the Shuolang Department had transported several carts of grain, grass and weapons, but I was afraid that with different intentions, I felt that I couldn't easily marry you." ”

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

"I'm afraid that the county lord is wrong, or you don't want this family business to be successful, so you tell such a lie."

Lian Zhi'er didn't look at others, just looked at King Yan Cheng, and said slowly, "Uncle trusts me?" ”

In the eyes of everyone, they will naturally suspect Lian Zhi'er, after all, this marriage is related to the royal court, so naturally Lian Zhi'er wants to stop it.

King Yan Cheng was dull and a little scary, and after a long time, he said slowly, "Lian Zhi'er, uncle believes in you, do you believe in the person who left Beiliang today, he taught you all this?"
