Chapter 10: Gathering and parting

The room gradually darkened, no one went to light the lamp, and the blood on Lady Liu's body looked even more shocking in the dim evening of the evening.

The two guards left behind looked at Ren Hongfei who was squatting on the ground, although he was only a five-year-old child, but the hideous look on his face made them shudder.

One of the guards hesitated: "Little prince, you..." ”

Ren Hongfei interrupted: "Okay, I know, I don't blame you, you are also acting on orders." ”

The guard hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, thank you little prince, little prince mourns, please move to Li Xuanzhi, let's clean up here." ”

Ren Hongfei stood up calmly, walked to the basin at the door and washed his hands gently, he washed very slowly but very carefully, and a basin of water immediately turned pale red. Ren Hongfei picked up and walked out of the door and fell into the flower bed, and when he walked back, he had made a heavy oath: Sister Liu, your blood will not be shed in vain, I must let Zhu Changluo return it tenfold.

In his eyes, the real murderers of Lady Liu were not Pang Bao and Liu Cheng, not Lady Liu herself, who was not inferior, nor the two guards who acted on orders, but Zhu Changluo, who ruthlessly killed his wife with a rod in order to protect himself. Now that his closest people have innocently shed their first drop of blood, he is determined to make this filthy Forbidden City flow rivers of blood and corpses all over the field.

After washing three basins of water, Ren Hongfei picked up a towel and soaked it in the door, twisted it, walked up to Lady Liu, wiped her face with a wet towel, and commanded without raising his head: "When you restrain for a while, be lighter, if you dare to disrespect her, I won't spare you two." ”

The two guards hurriedly responded and didn't dare to respond, Ren Hongfei stood up and wiped his face and pinched Lan'er, who was lying on the ground and hadn't woken up yet, Lan'er slowly turned around and sat up.

Lan'er looked at Lady Liu, who was covered in blood, and pinched her thigh with her hand, it hurt! It turned out that all this was not a nightmare, Lan'er's lips were blue, her whole body trembled slightly, and she suddenly reached out and hugged Ren Hongfei next to her fiercely in her arms, and tears fell silently.

Ren Hongfei stretched out his hand and patted Lan'er's back gently, and said lightly: "Okay, Sister Lan'er, go wash your face, we should go to Li Xuanzhi." ”

Lan'er didn't seem to hear it, and it was like a walking corpse that had been drained of its soul, and she sat on the ground with a dull gaze. Ren Hongfei gently pushed Lan'er away, a slap on her cheek, Lan'er was suddenly awakened by the beating, and looked at Ren Hongfei blankly, Ren Hongfei leaned forward, stared at Lan'er's eyes and said word by word: "Get up, go wash your face, and then clean up your and my things, and then go to Li Xuanshi, if you can hurry up, we can still rush to dinner, understand." ”

Lan'er nodded indifferently, and stood up with difficulty, her weak legs made her almost fall to the ground again, because Lady Liu was not favored by Zhu Changluo, and the rewards were very few, and the kung fu of just one meal had been cleaned up. There are only a few dozen taels of broken silver and a dozen pieces of jewelry that are not very valuable in the two small bags, and the rest are Ren Hongfei and Lan'er's change of clothes.

Staggered to the side of Lady Liu's body, Lan'er knelt down and kowtowed three times, her forehead was red and swollen, Lan'er held Lady Liu's hand, it was cold but still soft, and Lan'er's tears flowed down silently: "Miss, don't worry, Lan'er must live well, you must take care of the little prince, Miss, you can go back with peace of mind, Lan'er will not let the little prince suffer a little harm in the future." Miss, you are in the spirit of heaven, you must bless the little prince to be safe and grow up. ”

Lan'er got up sadly, took Ren Hongfei's hand and walked to the door, Ren Hongfei paused, turned his head and glanced deeply at Lady Liu, and finally left this hut full of five-year memories. Here, there used to be sweetness, warmth, and family affection, but now only sadness, anger, parting, and hatred remain.

Although the night has just arrived, it is already like a thick inkstone, so deep that it cannot be dissolved, the dim light of the palace lamp by the corridor does not bring them a glimmer of hope, but as if to beat them into the bottomless abyss, the night of May is still slightly cool, and there are a few low insect chirpings in the flower bed next to it, perhaps in this palace full of sin, only they are forever happy.

Lan'er's steps were slightly staggering, and Ren Hongfei said softly behind her: "Sister Lan'er be careful with your step, don't be too sad when you get to Li Xuanzhi in a while, and don't talk casually." We have already sent people under the fence, so we have to put patience in everything first, and the disaster comes from the mouth, Sister Lan'er, you must be engraved in your heart. ”

Lan'er couldn't help but tremble slightly when she thought of Lady Liu's tragic situation, she was sad, her tears almost flowed down again, and she said with a little choked voice: "It's just that Li Xuanzhi is extremely mean and moody, but he looks lovely and is very likable, His Royal Highness the Prince's favorite is her, she is pampered and arrogant, and she must be ...... to the little prince." ”

Ren Hongfei interrupted: "Sister Lan'er, don't worry, in order to avenge my mother, even if I eat bran and suffer humiliation, I will live until the day I ascend the throne." Never impulsive. ”

Lan'er paused slightly, and continued to walk forward, although she didn't know why Ren Hongfei repeatedly confirmed that she would be the emperor, but Ren Hongfei's firm tone also gave her a lot of confidence.

Zhu Changluo had two servants surnamed Li in Ciqing Palace, and in order to distinguish them, they were called East Li and West Li at that time. Dong Li Xuanzhi is very kind but does not like to smile, so he is not very favored in front of Zhu Changluo, and has not been able to give birth to a boy and a girl for several years.

Although Xi Li Xuan's appearance can only be regarded as delicate, his words are pleasing and very good at coaxing people, which won Zhu Changluo's favor, and gave birth to Zhu Changluo's fourth son Zhu Youmo, who is one year older than Ren Hongfei. The following year, she gave birth to her daughter Zhu Huiyuan, who was the same age as Ren Hongfei. Since then, Zhu Changluo has been more obedient to her, Li Xuanzhi himself is narrow-minded, eager to repay, and pampered and arrogant, domineering, and can be described as the first position in the harem in the entire Ciqing Palace, and even the crown princess is not in his eyes. As soon as the other attendants, ladies, and talented attendants in Ciqing Palace mentioned her, they immediately talked about the tiger's color change and were silent.

Li Xuanzhi's residence is not far away, just separated by two courtyards, and there are still dozens of steps to reach the destination, Ren Hongfei and Lan'er couldn't help but stop again, and looked back at the former "home", maybe it can be called a cage place, both of them know that they can never go back, even if they go back, they will already be wrong.

Ren Hongfei turned his head and took the lead in walking forward, he couldn't bear to look at the land of life and death, but he was also gently telling himself: There is no need to be too sad, the parting in this life may just be for the reunion in the next life!
