Out of Huaixian Water Pavilion, Zhou Ruoshui went directly to Chunhui Garden with two female guards, but when she arrived, only Wanyan Meizhu was there, although she felt a little bad in her heart, she still followed Lu Jue's instructions to make the serious situation of the matter clear one by one.

After listening to Zhou Ruoshui's words, Yan Meizhu began to ponder, now this situation is very clear, you can't have both fish and bear's paws, and she secretly thinks about it in her heart. After a moment of silence, she opened her mouth and asked faintly: "There is no room for redemption in this matter, is it!" The fate of his brother and sister had been thought about countless times when she made the choice, either they would meet in Huangquan; Either succeed, then it is the time when my brother dies. But at this time, she still couldn't bear it.

Zhou Ruoshui held her slightly trembling arm, and said with reason: "Shui'er understands the reluctance in Niangniang's heart, but we are already wives, and we can't help them become famous, but we can't do anything to trap them in disloyalty." They are the mainstay of the court of the heroes of the Great Qi, how many pairs of eyes are looking at them, the slightest carelessness is a catastrophe, Niangniang doesn't want to work hard for more than 20 years, once he returns, it will be the time to send him to the guillotine! ”

This made Yan Meizhu's heart shudder, for the interests of his family and country, he has been responsible for more than 20 years, and his brother in Daqi is meticulous and hostile, and has done many wrong things, there will be this end is also regarded as this retribution, how can he not understand that he has lived to be in his forties. She smiled bitterly: "How can I not understand the simple truth that my mother has lived for dozens of years, but he is my own brother, and if I want to watch him die and be indifferent, how can I really turn a blind eye!" ”

Blood is thicker than water, Zhou Ruoshui doesn't know how to continue, watching his relatives die, not only can he not help, but he has to give up the opportunity to let him live, it is really cruel, the country is ruined, at this time Zhou Ruoshui has the intention of regretting coming here.

Just when the atmosphere was deadlocked, the door was pushed open, Zhu Feifei rushed in, his hands propped up on the table, and he didn't have time to take a breath and said hurriedly: "Oh no, after my father heard my brother say that my father was imprisoned, he went to Huaixian Water Pavilion angrily, it seems that he is looking for Xiao Jue theory, mother, please persuade me to go." ”

"What, the prince went to Huaixian Water Pavilion." Zhou Ruoshui was shocked, got up and ran out first.

Su Yuzhu and Bai Tingfeng glanced at each other, hurriedly saluted and resigned, and then chased out.

Looking at the three people who left in a hurry, Wanyan Meizhu knew the seriousness of the situation, although she didn't know what was going on, she still took Zhu Feifei and rushed to Huaixian Water Pavilion together.

After Yan Lie was imprisoned on the front foot, Zhu Zhen arrived later, and Lu Jue knew in his heart that he was not here for commendation, but for accountability. He lowered his head and smiled bitterly and did not get up to salute him, but directly pointed out his intention: "Is it possible that the prince is here to finish Yan Lie's capture." ”

Since he is so straightforward, there is no need for him to knock on the side and ask: "Why didn't the prince know about such a major matter, is it because I have been in the Jin Kingdom for more than 20 years, the prince is suspicious of me." ”

Faced with doubts and not seeing Lu Jue's impatience, he just got up and gave a deep salute and said: "The prince is a relative of the emperor, how dare he doubt it as a subordinate, but the minister just wants to ask more, whether he can really be ruthless to him." Seeing that he was silent, he continued: "Since this is the case, it is better to let the subordinates share the worries of the prince, and for the country and the people, the ministers are not afraid of being notorious." If the prince thinks that his subordinates have done too much, the ministers will be willing to accept the guilt after the incident. ”

Just a few sentences made Zhu Zhen speechless, how to comment on right and wrong. But after all, he couldn't live with her, so he had to be cheeky. Since he came to ask for someone, his tone of voice softened a lot: "His Royal Highness the Prince, why did he say this, you are the rightful successor of Daqi, and you have the power of life and death in your hands, although I am your uncle, I am only a subordinate of Qu Ju, and I just came here at this time to ask for something with a thick old face." So saying, he bowed to him.

This move really made Lu Jue sad, he embarked on the road of fighting for power and profit in order to protect himself, and later lost half of his life for the sake of the people, not to mention the indelible scars of this life, even the people's livelihood that is waiting for recovery can't withstand the wind next to the pillow. He lowered his head and looked at his tightly wrapped hands, full of worthlessness, and said with a bitter smile: "It turns out that the prince is here to intercede for Wan Yan Lie!" ”

Speaking bluntly what he thought in his heart, Zhu Zhen was relieved and in a dilemma, and after staring at him for a moment, he asked, "Is it okay?" ”

Lu Jue sighed heavily, looked up at him and sternly refused: "Impossible!" ”

Zhu Zhen was disheartened when he heard this, and he didn't care about anything and went around to Lu Jue, and his voice seemed to plead: "He has contributed a lot to your status today, those who have passed away are still gone, even if you kill him, it will not help, why don't you follow the example of Jin Guo and imprison him for a hundred years?" ”

Lu Jue said: "The minister knows that the prince will have difficulty giving up as a righteous brother and sister-in-law. Weichen was afraid that the prince would be in trouble, so he would hide from the prince and make a plan. I will never forget the kindness of him and me in this life, but for the sake of the people's peace and stability, the prince should understand that this person will die. ”

I don't know which of Lu Jue's words caused Zhu Zhen's anger, and he reprimanded: "I am willing to be imprisoned for more than 20 years for the sake of Daqi, and it is difficult to get such a small request today, doesn't the prince feel chilling to treat the heroes like this!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Jue faintly saw the atmosphere and said: "The prince's contribution is indispensable, and the country and the people will remember it, but for the sake of a woman to the safety of the country and disregard, it is difficult to resist the mistake of that thought!" ”

"Zhu Rui pay attention to your words and deeds, that person is your aunt, the wife of the general of Great Qi! Even if you are the prince of Great Qi, I am afraid that it is not your turn to call the shots in this matter, and I will tell you that this person is the king of Baoding! Clenched his fists and stepped forward to glare at Lu Jue angrily, as if Lu Jue had made a few mistakes, and it would kill him in a moment.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jue didn't defend himself, because any more justification was in vain, he took off his needle, sat there with his heart sad, hung his head and stopped talking.

At this moment, Zhou Ruoshui pushed the door in, the face of the pink carved jade pecking was full of charm, and a pair of apricot eyes looked at Zhu Zhen angrily and said indignantly: "The prince is too good at laughing, your words are burning and the straight husband is at fault, but you yourself ask yourself if the prince was willing to be imprisoned for the sake of Daqi." Before talking about the mistakes of others, should you think about whether you can really be proud of your achievements? ”

Hearing these words of maintenance from his lover, Lu Jue, who had just lost his soul, where could he still find half a point of sentimentality, a gentle smile had already hung in the corners of his eyes, and his eyes were full of people in red clothes.

Without waiting for Zhu Zhen to refute, Zhou Ruoshui continued: "If a woman who is the prince will only be filled with the prince and be unfaithful and unjust, then is such a woman still worthy of the prince to work hard for her for more than 20 years." ”

Obviously, Zhu Zhen was speechless, glanced at the two of them separately, and tried his best to defend Wanyan Meizhu: "This is my own intention, and it has nothing to do with her." ”

Zhou Ruoshui said: "This woman is willing to turn her back on the country and her relatives for the sake of the prince. At that time, she should have made a decision, the prince thought that he was smart at this time and thought that it was for her good, but he was afraid that he had done something bad with good intentions, and this move would only make the court talk about it. What kind of face did the prince let her return to the court as a princess, so who did she want, Shui Er asked about the more than 20 years of imprisonment, did the prince not only lose his blood, but also lose his wisdom and wisdom back then. ”

Zhu Zhen didn't refute, because he didn't know how to refute, he sat heavily in his seat and began to reflect.

Glancing at him, Zhou Ruoshui walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, walked up to Zhu Zhen and said: "Liulang didn't want the prince to be embarrassed, so he made his own opinion, and he didn't expect to be grateful for what he did, but who knew that he was criticized." For the sake of Rokuro's innocence, I hope the prince will raise his noble hand and let him go! Then whether this person kills or releases Rokuro is not involved. Afterwards, I only asked the prince for the matter, and I asked the prince to ask the saint to return the cloth of Liulang I. "Hold the teacup up and kneel on the ground.

Zhu Zhen looked at Zhou Ruoshui blankly for a moment, then turned his head to look at Lu Jue, who had already stood up, and asked, "This is what you mean." ”

It's just these few words that made Lu Jue's heart feel sweet, he looked at Zhou Ruoshui with satisfaction, walked to her side and knelt in front of Zhu Zhen, and said sincerely: "Please raise your noble hand and let me and my wife have a way to live, and I will remember the kindness of the prince and I will be grateful forever." ”

Zhu Zhen said: "You are the prince of Great Qi." ”

"Daqi is still prosperous without me, but my family can't be a family without me. I have seen enough of the affairs of the court and the hot and cold state of the world in the past few years as an official. Now there is nothing else to ask for, I just want to stay with this crippled body and spend the rest of my days with my wife, hoping that the prince will be fulfilled. After speaking, he knocked on the ground with Zhou Ruoshui.

This undoubtedly stuffed Zhu Zhen in a dilemma, he got up angrily and said: "How can the Holy Decree be a child's play, even if I didn't say it." He left without looking back.

After seeing him leave, Zhou Ruoshui patted his chest in fear, exhaled heavily, sat down on the ground, turned his head and saw Lu Jue looking at himself with a smile, just now seeing Lu Jue feeling that it was not worth it, he said something against Zhu Zhen without thinking, and at this time he began to worry about Lu Jue in the future, lowered his head and blamed himself: "Just now, I was in a hurry and said something that shouldn't be said, will the prince be ...... because of this?"

Lu Jue didn't speak, laughed a few times, sat cross-legged on the ground, and hugged Zhou Ruoshui into his arms

This move made Zhou Ruoshui confused, thinking that people were confused, and hurriedly admitted his mistake: "Liulang, don't be angry, Shui'er knows that he is wrong, and Shui'er will go to ask the prince for guilt." But before she could get up, Lu Jue pulled her back and sat down on his lap.

Lu Jue wrapped one arm around her waist, and gently nodded her lips with one hand and whispered: "I am very happy, the lady can be so maintained, where can she be angry for her husband." ”

But Zhou Ruoshui was still relieved, and still blamed himself: "Wrong is wrong, don't excuse me anymore." ”

Lu Jue smiled and did not continue her topic, but said with a resolute face: "The attitude of the prince just now is very clear, no matter which side he stands with, there is something I have to do." ”

Zhou Ruoshui leaned into his arms and said, "No matter how your husband chooses, please don't refuse water thousands of miles away." ”

"What are you thinking about?" Bowed his head and kissed her forehead to make her settle, looked directly into her eyes and said, "Whether I am returning to the dynasty or serving the people, there is one thing I must do!" Shui'er, I don't care what others think, whether it's ungrateful, or unjust, I only care about your opinion, do you think I'm a ruthless person! ”

What is his intention that others don't understand, how can Zhou Ruoshui not know, he is insisting on being this wicked person, as a wife, he can't help him but silently support, gently patted his back and said: "If you want to be a clean official, Shui'er will accompany you with coarse tea and light food; If you want to be a wicked person, Shui'er will accompany you to betray everyone. ”

What is not satisfied, whether it is a wicked person or a good person, as long as there is such a moment, what does it matter. Lu Jue smiled sweetly and leaned his head to snuggle up to hers, closing his eyes to enjoy the beautiful moment that only belonged to him, and he seemed to be afraid of nothing to worry about with her.
