Meng Xiaoran didn't sleep all night, and after thinking about it all night, she finally made up her mind, it was time to explain all this.

After she got up, everything was as usual, only let Gu Yu go to the front and invite Dongfang Shuo over, "If he is not there, you will tell the person who is waiting, let Gongzi come back today and I will come here later, and say that I have something to say to him." ”

Gu Yu nodded and went to do it, but unexpectedly, Dongfang Shuo was really not there, he went out early in the morning, Gu Yu told Meng Xiaoran about the situation, she didn't say anything, only nodded.

During the day, Meng Xiaoran looked around and found that she didn't have to pack up anything if she wanted to leave, she had come alone, and the clothes on her body were all prepared by Dongfang Shuo after she came.

It's okay like this, I didn't bring anything in the first place, and I can easily go when I go, and there is nothing to be nostalgic about.

On this day, Meng Xiaoran didn't do anything, just sat in front of the window in a daze, Gu Yu and Chunyue were a little worried when they saw it, but they didn't dare to say anything, so they could only let her do it.

On the Shen Mansion's side, Chen Jingfeng had already left to return to his medicine house, and Shen Qian was sitting alone at the desk, with a book in front of him, but the pages had not moved at all from the beginning to the present, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Qingfeng hurriedly ran in, Shen Qian immediately raised his head and looked at him, but saw Qingfeng shook his head, "Childe, there is still no movement, but Lu Ziqing seems to be very busy these days, and he goes out early and returns late every day, maybe Miss Meng doesn't have time." ”

Since that day, Qingfeng told Meng Xiaoran those words according to Shen Qian's instructions, there has been no news since Meng Xiaoran went back, and they have been sending people to guard nearby, but helplessly, the house is surrounded like an iron bucket, and even a fly can't fly in, let alone inquire about the news.

It's just that Meng Xiaoran didn't break with Lu Ziqing as Shen Qian expected after he went back, a few days have passed, and there is no movement there, so Shen Qian naturally began to get anxious.

Qing Feng was also a little worried when he saw that his face was not good, "Childe, do you think Miss Meng will have an accident?" ”

Shen Qian frowned, "Something's wrong?" What's going on? ”

"I told her everything that Gongzi told her that day, I think she seems to have been hit hard, if she goes back and tears her face with Lu Ziqing, will Lu Ziqing be angry and do anything bad to her?" Qingfeng's heart was bottomless, and his voice became smaller and smaller.

Shen Qian shook his head, "That's not going to happen, no matter what Lu Ziqing says, the night won't do anything to her, but it's been so long and there is no news, I'm worried that Lu Ziqing forced her to stay." ”

"So what are we going to do? If it really doesn't work, let's just break in, bring Miss Meng out, I don't believe that he Lu Ziqing can be so domineering? ”

Shen Qian kept frowning, "If you really can't do it, you can only make this decision, let's go and see the situation tonight, and act when the time comes." ”

Meng Xiaoran waited until it was dark, Dongfang Shuo finally came, and as soon as he came back, he heard a report that Miss Meng wanted to see him, so he hurried over.

The light was lit in the room, Meng Xiaoran was sitting in the dim corner, and when Dongfang Shuo came in, there was a sudden sound in his heart, and he looked at her expression, and a sense of foreboding spread in his heart.

"Ran'er, are you looking for me?"

Meng Xiaoran looked at him from the moment she came in, as if she wanted to see through his heart, but she finally found that she couldn't see through him.

"Ziqing, can I still call you that?"

Dongfang Shuo was stunned when he heard this, Meng Xiaoran's face loomed in the darkness, so that he couldn't see the expression on her face at this time, he walked over with some concern, looked at her and asked, "Ran'er, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Xiaoran stood up and smiled at him, "It's nothing, I just think the name Ziqing is more affectionate, can I call you that?" She asked again.

Dongfang Shuo had no choice but to nod, "Of course you can, you can call it whatever you want." ”

Meng Xiaoran nodded, walked around him to the middle of the room, and stood next to the oil lamp, she picked up the scissors on the table and carefully cut the excessively long wick, and the fire was a little bigger.

She suddenly turned to look at Dongfang Shuo, with an uncertain look on her face, "Ziqing, do you remember what you told me when you were in the bamboo forest?" ”

Dongfang Shuo's face changed slightly when he heard this, for some reason he always felt that Meng Xiaoran had a special meaning when he spoke like this, as if he wanted to say goodbye to him.

Meng Xiaoran didn't wait for him to answer, and continued: "You said that no matter what happens in the future, you will not fail me. She couldn't help but laugh softly, and there was a hint of desolation in her smile.

She looked at Dongfang Shuo and smiled bitterly, "Actually, I know very well in my heart that your identity is destined that you can't be the only one, you are the future emperor, and behind you should be a woman whose identity and family background can help you, not a commoner like me who has nothing." ”

"Ran'er......" Dongfang Shuo wanted to say something, but was stopped by Meng Xiaoran, "Ziqing, don't you speak, is it okay to listen to me?" Dongfang Shuo didn't speak anymore when he heard this, but just looked at her anxiously with a worried face.

Meng Xiaoran smiled again, "Actually, I don't blame you for this, even if you will marry Ye Fanghua in the future, I don't blame you, because I know that this is also your last resort, you can't marry a civilian woman, and your courtiers won't agree, so I don't blame you for this, it's just a little sad that you lied to me." ”

"But the saddest thing for me is that you used me again, you know? The love I want is pure and simple, I don't want to mix so much, but there are too many impurities between you and me, for your country, for your great cause, you can use me again and again, use a woman who loves you, haven't you thought about whether I will be sad after I know? ”

Facing Meng Xiaoran's questioning, Dongfang Shuo's face changed greatly, and he immediately stepped forward and grabbed her shoulders and asked, "Ran'er, where did you hear this, don't listen to others chewing the root of your tongue, I haven't taken advantage of you." ”

Meng Xiaoran smiled sadly, broke free from his shackles, took a few steps back, and looked at him in disbelief, "Even now, do you still want to lie to me?" ”

"You dare to say that you are not taking advantage of me? Do you dare to say that you didn't use me to deceive Shen Qian, and lied to him that I was captured by the Seven Princes' people and thrown into the mountains? You know Shen Qian's feelings for me, that's why you did this, you want to drive a wedge between the Seven Princes and Shen Qian, it's nothing more than to cut off the Seven Princes' help and make him isolated, which will be more helpful to your big things, right? ”

Dongfang Shuo wanted to defend himself, but with a pair of Shang Meng Xiaoran's perceptive and heartbroken eyes, he couldn't say anything.

"Ziqing, I said that if you use it to deceive me again, I will never forgive you." The tears in Meng Xiaoran's eyes couldn't help falling anymore, she was really sad, she had persevered in this relationship until now and paid her sincerity, but in the end she still couldn't go to the end.

Dongfang Shuo was distressed when she saw her like this, and immediately stepped forward to hug her like before, but was avoided by Meng Xiaoran, she wiped her tears, looked at him and said: "Ziqing, this is the last time I call you like this, thank you for your care and care for me for so long, and I hope you can fulfill your wish as soon as possible." ”

After speaking, Meng Xiaoran planned to leave, but as soon as she walked out of the house, she felt a gust of wind behind her, and her body was hugged tightly from behind, and Dongfang Shuo's voice sounded in her ears, "Ran'er, I'm sorry, I'm sorry...... Will you forgive me? Don't leave me, don't leave me......"

Meng Xiaoran struggled hard a few times but couldn't break free, "You don't want to be like this, it's impossible between us, I've made it very clear, don't be persistent anymore." ”

"No, I won't let you leave, you can't leave me!" Dongfang Shuo's hand tightened tighter, Meng Xiaoran's body was tightly strangled, and his bones began to hurt.

All the people in the courtyard hid in their own houses, and the masters were arguing outside, but they did not dare to come out.

Meng Xiaoran had no choice but to use internal force, Dongfang Shuo's unprepared arm was shaken open, Meng Xiaoran's body was freed and immediately ran to the middle of the courtyard, looking at Dongfang Shuo vigilantly, she knew that his martial arts were far higher than herself, if she really used force, she would definitely not be his opponent.

"Why, why is this happening?" Dongfang Shuo was a little unacceptable, and looked at her with a hurt face.

Seeing him like this, Meng Xiaoran suddenly felt a little ridiculous, she looked at him with a cold face and said, "Dongfang Shuo, until now you are still asking me why, can't you tell you the reason for these things you have done?" ”

"Ran'er, even if I used you to deceive you, but I really love you, and my heart for you is true, you can't forgive me once? I will compensate you later, I will give you everything you want. ”

Meng Xiaoran suddenly smiled miserably, "Dongfang Shuo, you will never be able to give what I want, and I can't give you what you want." ”

Dongfang Shuo's eyes were red, he looked at Meng Xiaoran with a resolute face, and his heart was sad, "What do you want?" As long as you say it, I can do it. ”

Meng Xiaoran looked at him, and after a long time, he smiled self-deprecatingly, "That's it, you still don't understand what I want, don't mention it, let's get together and disperse." ”

"What if I don't let you go?" Dongfang Shuo's voice suddenly sounded from behind him, and Meng Xiaoran turned his head in disbelief.

At this moment, Dongfang Shuo was standing on the steps in a dark robe, and his temperament was very different, compared with the gentle and jade-like son in the past, it was like a changed person, Meng Xiaoran looked at his face, but he could no longer see the familiar appearance.

Meng Xiaoran ignored him and walked straight to the courtyard gate, but Dongfang Shuo suddenly commanded loudly: "Come on, take care of the inner courtyard, without my orders, no one is allowed to step out of the courtyard door for half a step!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Meng Xiaoran heard a sound of footsteps, and soon there were several guards standing at the gate of the courtyard nearby, she turned to look at Dongfang Shuo angrily, "Do you have to be like this?" ”

Dongfang Shuo walked down the stairs at this time, slowly approached her, and finally stopped less than a meter away from her, he sighed and said: "Ran'er, I just don't want to lose you, you just need to take back what you just said and continue to stay by my side, and I will let them go down immediately." ”
