Lian Zhi'er was a little afraid, "Since you have seen it, then please ask His Royal Highness the Prince to go out, we are all people with a marriage contract, please respect yourself." ”

"Sure enough, it's the person who has been in front of Shi Ran for a long time, and even the tone of his speech is getting more and more similar, which is really disgusting."

Lian Zhi'er was a little stunned when she heard his words, so she hurriedly said, "Besides, Miss Fu is still outside, if she misunderstands the adult, wouldn't it be all the sins of the slaves." ”

Ruan Lu raised his eyebrows suddenly, "Are you eating it?" How does the house smell of vinegar? ”

Lian Zhi'er's cheeks were crimson, and she was more and more delicate by the phoenix crown on her body. His sarcasm is so good that it can't be described as scathing enough.

"I didn't." She gritted her teeth, and it took a long time to grit her teeth before she said this.

"I don't dare." He pulled the corners of his lips mockingly, his eyes fell on her again, and said slowly, "This wedding dress belongs to my mother, I just want to see how it is worn on you, it seems that it is really disappointing, you are not worthy of this dress at all." ”

Lian Zhi'er seemed to be on fire, and she just wanted to take off her shirt quickly.

Ruan Lu grabbed her hand at once, and there was endless anger in his voice, "Don't move." ”

Lian Zhi'er only felt that his palms were as hot as a soldering iron.

And his more burning gaze fell on her, as if thinking about something.

"Take it off, this world really can't watch you marry someone else in this shirt." It was a long time before he said this sentence with difficulty.

Hearing this, he raised his eyes in astonishment, but saw Ruan Lu's complicated eyes.

And when he had finished speaking, he turned around and waited for her to take off her wedding dress.

Lian Zhi'er gritted her teeth. Soon he changed his clothes, and then folded the extravagant wedding dress neatly.

Because he was too afraid that Ruan Lu would find the child in her womb, everything was almost shocking, but seeing that he was still facing away from her, his long body looked a little stiff.

Then she said nothing, but turned and went out of the house, as if a hungry wolf were chasing after her.

She was Ruan Lu who came in one after the other, and Shi Ran and Fu Yunhuang were already waiting outside, and when the four of them met like this, everyone's eyes were complicated.

Pale eyes swept across her cheeks. It seems to be a casual question, "Can the wedding dress be changed?" ”

Lian Zhi'er said with a little weakness, "I don't like it, it's not too late to choose another day." ”

At this moment, I heard a noisy sound outside, but I heard people shouting, "The horsemen are setting off fireworks outside the house, come and see." ”

Lian Zhi'er just wanted to leave here immediately, and only said to Shi Ran, "Let's go and take a look, this is the first time I've seen so many fireworks set off in the past four years." ”

After she finished speaking, Shi Ran and Ruan Lu couldn't help but have a somewhat complicated face, as if they had thought of something.

Shi Ran came up and took the cold hand, "Let's go." ”

Both people's hands were so cold, cold to each other's bones and blood.

They walked out of the shop and onto a stone bridge, and the warm wind blew on their bodies, and soon the fireworks scattered in the sky, and the pedestrians on the road looked up, and for a moment they didn't know who stepped on whose skirt. Who hit whose basket.

Lian Zhi'er suddenly turned his face to look, but saw Ruan Lu and Fu Yunhuang standing a few feet away from them.

However, when she withdrew her gaze, she saw the handsome and lifeless face of Shi Ran beside her, the light of the fireworks flickered on his face, and there was a faint smile on the corner of his lips.

Lian Zhi'er couldn't help but be obsessed, and at some point, Shi Ran's gaze also fell on her face.

When the four eyes met, Lian Zhi'er only felt that his face hurt like a fire, because it was too noisy around him, Lian Zhi'er raised his voice and said loudly, "My lord, this firework is so beautiful." ”

Her voice was full of joy, obviously it was just fireworks, but it seemed to have won the world's treasures.

He turned his head, but saw that her dark eyes were scattered with stars, and his heart twitched, as if he wanted to grasp something, but he wondered what he wanted.

Shi Dye's voice soon came, "It's just something that scatters with a bang." ”

The fire in his heart seemed to have been poured with a basin of cold water, and there was not even a little spark left, and even the branches were really not happy at all.

And at that moment, Shi Ran's lips suddenly leaned over and kissed her lips.

It was so bustling around her, and she could hear her heartbeat almost clearly, as if something was about to pop out of her throat.

He actually took the initiative to kiss her.

Lian Zhi'er saw Ruan Lu and Fu Yunhuang from afar through Shi Ran's black hair, and the two of them also looked at them, as if they never thought that a person like Shi Ran would do such a thing as Meng Lang in public.

Lian Zhi'er felt a fire spread all over her body.

Through his pale eyes, she could clearly see her own strange red cheeks.

I don't know how long it took for him to slowly let her go.

"Is it to make Ruan Lu believe them?" Lian Zhi'er looked at him a little nervously, and her hands were cramped and she didn't know where to put them.

He also frowned, as if he was also frightened by his appropriate actions, "I seem to know about love, but I just feel very uncomfortable in my heart." ”

Lian Zhi'er's eyes were full of ecstasy, and the fireworks in the sky seemed to bloom only in her dark pupils.

Ruan Lu watched from afar, his fingers clenched tightly, only "gurgling", but there was no expression on his face. However, Fu Yunhuang beside him was bloodless, and there was hatred and jealousy in his eyes that could not be hidden.

"Looks like we don't have to go over and say goodbye." Ruan Lu's eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, "Go back to Beijing." ”

"No, but I'm going to say goodbye." Fu Yunhuang smiled, "His Royal Highness the Prince of the World will wait for a while. ”

After speaking, he calmly and elegantly lifted his skirt, and then slowly walked in front of Lian Zhi'er and Shi Ran.

Lian Zhi'er's cheeks were red, and when she saw Fu Yunhuang coming over, she heard her slowly come over, and came straight to Lian Zhi'er's side, and slowly said the words in her heart with only a voice that two people could hear.

"I didn't expect you to be from Beiliang." Her appearance was like a poisonous snake spitting letters, "You want to marry your enemy in Beiliang, you are really open-minded." ”

Shi Ran stood beside them, and when he saw the two of them talking intimately, he was not easy to disturb after all.

"What?" There was a hint of puzzlement in Lian Zhi'er's eyes.

"When the king of Beiliang and his sister-in-law were killed in Beijing, it was all the idea of Lord Shi beside you, and it was he who wrote to the queen mother, saying that the people of Beiliang would only kill savagely, and they must not let the tiger return to the mountain." She smiled, "He is really a wizard of governing the country, I didn't expect that such a brave and unparalleled person as King Beiliang would die in his scheme." ”

Even Zhi'er couldn't hear anything for a moment. It seemed that countless people were screaming and screaming in her ears, but they still died on the way back to Beiliang.

Lian Zhi'er's desperate appearance greatly exceeded Fu Yunhuang's expectations, and she couldn't help but say with a sneering face, "I wish you all to grow old together, and then all of you people who died in Beiliang will look for you to chase your soul and ask for your life." ”

In an instant, she felt that the world was spinning, as if she had fallen into an endless nightmare.

Shi Ran looked at Lian Zhi'er as if she had a nightmare, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Lian'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"This is the first big gift from the princess of this world, and there will naturally be more in the future." Fu Yunhuang smiled, then turned around and walked to the sedan chair parked not far away.

Waiting for the sedan chair, the person who carried the sedan chair had already gotten up the sedan chair and left, and soon another person took the wooden box of Shicai and sent it to the person in the sedan chair respectfully.

The lights were dim, but the sedan chair disappeared into the street, and there was no longer any nostalgia.

Shi Ran looked at Lian Zhi'er, and soon realized that something was wrong with her, as if she had a premonition, "What's wrong with you?" ”

"My lord, did you calculate my brother and father?" Lian Zhi'er raised her eyes to look at him, and her eyes were frightened, "If I have wronged you, you can just tell me, as long as you say it, I will believe it." ”

"Lianzhi'er." There was a hint of trepidation between his brows, but he couldn't say anything else.

"I don't believe anyone, I only believe in you."

He moved his lips with difficulty, and finally spoke slowly, "Yes." ”

The lights are dim. Gradually, the people in the bustling streets dispersed. He was right, but everything was just a loud noise, nothing more than something that confuses people's eyes.

"Why? Why you? Tears rolled down her face.

"Your father and brother have killed too many people in the capital, and they have to be removed." He knew that if he was asked to choose a new one, he would definitely do it without thinking, otherwise the rivers and mountains of the Central Plains today would become the world of the Beiliang people.

"It was you who begged my father to take our Beiliang's iron cavalry into Shangjing, it was your vassal king who rebelled, and my father entered Beijing to protect the holy driver." Lian Zhi'er's voice was filled with hatred and trembling, "Could it be that those vassal kings killed fewer people than my father?" ”

There was a hint of complexity in Shi Ran's eyes, "After all, it's not my people." ”

"Yes, we are all barbarians, only Shi Daxue is a clean person, so he can use the bones of our Beiliang people to protect your country." Lian Zhi'er took a few steps back until she was far away from him.

Shi Ran couldn't help frowning, but couldn't say anything.

"It turns out that you are the same person as Ruan Lu." Lian Zhi'er stared at him deadly, "When I think of how much I liked you before, I just feel disgusting." ”

He looked at her, "I'm sorry, I just wanted to do everything I could to make it up to you." ”

"No wonder you treat me so well, it turns out that Scholar Shi also has times of guilt." She smiled, laughing like crazy, "No wonder you have to send me to Beiliang, as soon as you see me, you will think of the dirty things you did at the beginning?" ”

"Go back, it's getting late." His voice sounded a little hoarse.

"I'll never like you again, I only hate you." Lian Zhi'er turned to look at him, her eyes like needles.

With that, she turned and walked away, and he slowly followed her. Just look at her lonely and desolate back, in the lonely night, like a lonely ghost.

————

After Lian Zhi'er went back, he never went to his house, not even to bring tea and water.

She just waited for him to send her out, but a few days later, she saw Xiaowen come to the courtyard, and only said that she would come in to serve in the future.

When Xiaowen came to look for Lian Zhi'er, she saw her sitting by the window, she stood a little cramped for a while, and when she saw Lian Zhi'er's lost soul, she refused to pay attention to her, so she had to open her mouth a little cramped.

"Sister Lian'er, Master Shi said that you are pregnant, and I want to take care of you."

Lian Zhi'er's gaze swept over her face, and then she reached out and touched her relatively flat lower abdomen, "Oh? Do you know about this? ”

Xiaowen knelt on the ground with a "plop" and said with a nervous face, "Don't worry, this matter is to kill me." I'm not going to say half a sentence. The last time I calculated your affairs, they forced me, and I really have no choice but to save my life. ”

Lian Zhi'er looked at her hand, but saw that it was covered with scars, although they were left in the old days, but they were really shocking.

"He asked you to stay, what does it have to do with me?" Lian Zhi'er only said this slowly, and then looked out the window again, but saw that the sycamore leaves outside the window were gradually yellowing, and he was afraid that autumn was coming.

Xiaowen saw that her heart had changed greatly, and she didn't dare to talk to her more, so she had to go about her own affairs, and then completely cleaned up Lianzhi'er's house.

When the lamp was in charge, Shi Dye returned.

He didn't go back to his room, but he went straight to Lian Zhi'er's room, and she ignored him as usual, and he was not annoyed, but just sat there quietly.

"Don't worry about it in the future, he won't come to you again, he will marry Fu Yunhuang next spring." His voice was very weak, "At that time, the people of Beiliang will also enter Beijing, and I will let them pick you up." ”

Lian Zhi'er's gaze slowly fell on him, but he didn't say a word.

Suddenly, she felt a cold wind choking in her throat, and couldn't help coughing twice, but he slowly got up and brought her a cup of tea.

Lian Zhi'er didn't drink it, but just clutched her chest uncomfortably.

Shi Ran's eyes were a little dim, and then he slowly took out a packet of medicine from his cuff, "This is the medicine for the fetus." I'll let Xiaowen fry it for you every day. ”

Lian Zhi'er did not speak.

When he stood up and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something, and said slowly, "I have already found a family for you, that child is a big family in the city, and his family has no heirs, and he just wants to raise a child." ”

Lian Zhi'er's eyes blinked, "How are they?" ”

"He is a well-known good man who will not treat your children badly." He asked tentatively, "If you want to stay." I will let the people of Beiliang ......"

"Not necessarily." Lian Zhi'er's voice was extremely cold, "I will never bring this evil seed back to Beiliang, never." ”

Shi Ran frowned, "He is your child after all, I'm afraid you will regret it in the future." ”

***

Lian Zhi'er is no matter how thin she is, but the child in her belly is gradually highlighted, in order not to let others find out, Lian Zhi'er does not come out, only occasionally wait for the sky to darken, go outside to see the fallen leaves all over the ground.

Shi Ran occasionally came to see her. There was only silence between the two men, not even a word.

Lian Zhi'er felt that she was useless, and she couldn't hate him as much as she hated Ruan Lu.

Xiao Wen, who had bought something from outside that day, came back happily, holding a few pieces of excellent fabric in her hand, and then said with a smile, "Sister Lian'er, counting the days, you should make a few clothes for the child, look at this flowery word, okay?" ”

Lian Zhi'er's gaze fell on the cloth, and her long eyelashes blocked the look in her eyes.

"You don't have to." Lian Zhi'er didn't want to see her child at all.

"How can this work, when this child is born, he must wear the clothes made by his mother, so that he can grow up peacefully, otherwise those ghosts will see it, and they will only think that it is a child who no one cares about, so they have to harm him everywhere."

These words are just her words, just thinking that Lian Zhi'er has been dull and a little crazy these days, and it is good to be able to find something to be busy with.

Lian Zhi'er didn't know about the Central Plains, but she really believed it.

Xiaowen saw that she had been refusing to move, so she put everything in the cupboard stupidly, but when she came in to deliver food at night, she saw Lian Zhi'er sitting under the lamp, cutting cloth.

She was really not good at this, and most of the silk had been cut by her, but there was not a single decent one.

Xiaowen used to be a big girl, although she was not good at cooking, and she could even blow a quail into stone, but the work of female red was excellent.

She only smiled and cut out a small dress for Lian Zhi'er, and then said with a smile, "The child's skin is very tender, and the stitches have to be thinner." ”

Lian Zhi'er also asked her a few times for advice, but she did a decent job.

When Shi Ran came back in the evening, when she passed by Lian Zhi'er's window, she saw that she was not asleep, and was sitting busy with something.

He walked in almost unobediently, but saw Lian Zhi'er sewing a small shirt under the lamp.

"Tomorrow be busy, lest you hurt your eyes." For some reason, he involuntarily uttered words of comfort.

"It's okay, I'm just a blind man with my eyes open anyway. It's useless to keep these two eyeballs. She smiled self-deprecatingly.

Shi Ran slowly sat on a bamboo chair and only looked at her quietly.

After a long time, Lian Zhi'er put down the needle and thread in his hand, and only slowly rubbed his somewhat sore arm.

"By the way, there is one thing that the slave has forgotten to return to the adult." After speaking, she stood up with difficulty, then leaned on the tables and chairs in the room, walked to the cupboard, and slowly took out the jade pendant like a bright glow from it and sent it to him.

"If it's for you, you can dispose of it directly, and if you don't like it, just throw it away." There was a hint of displeasure in his voice, and he slowly stood up.

"Do you have to let the slave and maid throw it away?" Lian Zhi'er sighed helplessly.

Shi Ran was silent for a moment, and said slowly, "On that day of the Qixi Festival, I said that I seemed to understand what love is, if I said that I am willing to marry you, can you promise to stay by my side?" ”

Lian Zhi'er only felt the "buzzing" in her ears, which she had dreamed of hearing before, but now she heard it without any joy. It was so late.

"Then tell me, what exactly is love?" She looked at him.

The lights in the room were clearly off, and even their faces were a little obscure.

"I don't know, I just want to make you happy." He only had this one sentence, he didn't know love, and he didn't even shed a tear when his mother died.

"You just feel indebted, pity." Lian Zhi'er suddenly raised her head, "You won't like anyone at all, because only in this way can you live selfishly in this world." ”

"I ......," he tried to say, but she interrupted him.

"I'm going home, and I'll never stay anywhere except Bei Liang." That's all she has to say. "I wish I had never liked you half a cent in my life."

The luster in Shi Ran's eyes gradually dimmed, but he still slowly put away the jade pendant handed over by Lian Zhi'er, the almost scorching temperature, but it couldn't warm his cold palm.

****

Lian Zhi'er really sewed the stitches of the little coat fine and densely, which was the most serious thing she had done in her life.

When she finished it, even Xiaowen couldn't help but be amazed.

The last fallen leaves on the tree that day fell, and there was a faint snow hail in the air, and the jackdaws kept calling on the trees, making a terrible sound.

Lian Zhi'er only felt that this sound was very ominous, in Beiliang, the crow represented ferocity, which was extremely bad.

"Sister Lian'er, your child will definitely look like you when he is born, and he must be an extremely beautiful person." Xiaowen is looking forward to the birth of Lianzhi'er more than anyone else these days, and she likes children very much when she was at home in the past.

Lian Zhi'er listened to her words, and couldn't help but feel a little sad.

She slowly stood up, and suddenly felt a terrible pain in her stomach, and she couldn't stand up anymore.

Xiaowen saw it on the side, and was only a little frightened, so she hurriedly said, "Is the child about to be born?" Didn't the doctor say next month? Why so early? ”

Lian Zhi'er's voice was as weak as the cry of a mosquito, "Quick, go find Master Shi." ”

Xiaowen was at a loss for what to do, and after hearing this, she hurriedly ran to Shi Ran's house, and there were those who didn't dare to alarm others or shout, so they only staggered and ran, and they didn't know how many times they fell along the way.

Lian Zhi'er couldn't support it anymore, so he sat slowly on the cold ground, almost soaked with beads of sweat.

Even her skirt was faintly stained with blood.

And at this moment, she felt that she had fallen into a warm and familiar embrace, and it was still the familiar magnolia fragrance, which made her feel a little more steady.

Lian Zhi'er screamed in pain, it turned out to be so painful, she almost wanted to die from the pain.

"I hate you, Ruan Lu." She almost gritted her teeth and said the man's name, after all, it was the man who killed all this.

Shi Ran hugged her tightly in his arms, and only hurried me to go outside, after hearing her say this, her eyes were a little complicated, and she only comforted softly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to accompany you." ”
