Close to the Northland, the weather is getting colder.

Beigong Ru turned around and saw that Xiu Yuyue was still wearing a thin summer coat, cowering in the cold wind, so he went back to his horse and walked over, took off his cloak and wrapped it around her, handed over the wine bag, and said softly: "Take a sip and warm up." ”

Xiu Yuyue obediently took a sip of the spirits, her face was pink and peachy, and her long black and silky hair lined with a pair of jade-like green eyes, which made the viewer fascinated.

Sun Boyan wondered: What has happened in the past few days? These two people seem to have a kind of heart that is difficult for outsiders to intervene in.

Beigong looked at her for a while, and asked with concern, "Is it a little warmer?" Xiu Yuyue nodded with the shyness of a girl.

"There are two days left to go to the capital of Liuguo." Beigong Rudao.

Xiu Yuyue was stunned for a moment, she knew that this day would come sooner or later, but she didn't expect it to be so fast, she hoped that this road would never end. But the horse kept walking with her, and she looked back at the way she had come, and the green grass that had spread to the end of her vision seemed to keep her away from the pain of her homeland and henceforth under the hedge, and go further and live. If there was anything else that supported her not to go with her parents, it was her young brother, and Beigong Ru's warmth and commitment in that dark night.

In the evening of that day, the army finally arrived at the post station not far from the Great Gathering City, and could enter the city early the next morning.

In the evening, Beigong Ru came to Xiuyuyue's room and said to the two soldiers guarding it, "Go ahead." "They said 'yes' and turned away.

Beigong Ru pushed open the door and walked in, the silhouette of Xiu Yuyue in the candlelight was so slender and delicate, and the fragile seemed to disappear with a light touch. Beigong Ru approached her, sent a folded dress to her, and whispered, "I will enter the palace tomorrow to meet my father, and you are still wearing a military uniform." Let's change into this dress tomorrow morning. Xiu Yuyue stretched out her hand to take it, her hand was white and thin.

When she saw that the skirt was goose yellow, she couldn't help but feel a warm heart: he was really thoughtful. Knowing that I have filial piety, I don't want to wear bright colors, but I can't be plain white when I enter the palace, so I thought of this compromise solution.

Xiu Yuyue raised her head, looked at him with a pair of eyes full of pity, and said, "The night here is as quiet as in the woods. ”

Beigong Ru nodded deeply and said, "Don't worry, I will ask my father to give you to me tomorrow." ”

Xiu Yuyue slowly walked to the window, pushed the window open, and let the moonlight sprinkle all over the room. Outside the window, a clear moon reflected a few sycamores, and a lone swallow turned its head in shock, as if it was hovering with hatred, picking up all the cold branches and refusing to perch.

The day it was destined to come as scheduled. Beigong Ru with a triumphant army enjoyed the welcome of the people in the city with peace of mind, and the carnival of the victors and the sorrow of the dead were so opposite and distinct. Xiu Yuyue sat in the car with her younger brother in her arms, holding back her crumbling tears. She tried her best to convince herself: From now on, I will raise Yang'er well, forget hatred, don't let him live in the hellfire of revenge, and spend the rest of his life safely.

Dazai Han Shitong saw Beigong Ru approaching on horseback, hurriedly ran forward, bowed down and bowed deeply: "Congratulations to Gongzi on his victory, the lord has set up a banquet in Qionghua Hall to wash the dust for Gongzi and the soldiers." ”

Beigong Ru said with a smile: "There is Lao Dazai." ”

Han Shitong accompanied the army all the way to the outside of the Qionghua Palace, and Beigong Ru waited to dismount and unload his sword, and walked in to meet the prince. Liu Jun won a great victory, and Xiangong was naturally happy, and when he saw Beigong Ru, he suddenly felt that he hadn't seen him for a few months, and this young man was even more heroic. He thought to himself: This kid is eighteen years old this year, right? In two years, it will be the age when Feng Caiyi will leave the capital.

Beigong Ru respectfully paid homage to his father, and reported all the meritorious soldiers one by one, and let the sisters and brothers of Xiu Yuyue enter the palace. Xiu Yuyue led her younger brother and slowly walked in under the stunned gaze of everyone. Her beauty is dazzling, unquestionable, with an innate cold arrogance, impacting everyone present. Xiu Yuyue came to Xiangong and didn't pay homage, just stood there quietly, but no one seemed to blame her for her rudeness, as if she was okay with what she did.

"Father, this is Princess Lirong Xiuyuyue and Prince Xiuyuyang." Beigong Ru's words woke up everyone as if they had been spelled.

Xiangong was still immersed in her amazement, and said stupidly: "Okay, good, give a seat." ”

The regular servant Youqu had already understood, and put two round stools beside Xiangong. Xiu Yuyue glanced at Beigong Ru, he nodded lightly, and motioned for her to come over. These fell into the eyes of Xiangong, and he pursed his lips with a little dissatisfaction. At the beginning of the banquet, Xian Gong kept asking You Qu to reward Xiu Yuyue with the dishes in front of her, but she just sat quietly, her eyes stayed on Beigong Ru, as if everything that happened around her had nothing to do with her.

After three rounds of drinking, Beigong Ru got up to change his clothes, only to hear someone call him behind him, and when he looked back, he saw that it was the big Sima Zhao Yuanmin. He approached, bowed slightly, and said, "Childe has been worried just now, but what is difficult to hide?" ”

Beigong Ru sighed and said: "Yes, according to the usual father, the king should have already rewarded the three armies, but he didn't speak for a long time, I don't know what the meaning is?" ”

Zhao Yuanmin smiled and said, "Childe knows it, but he is also trapped by love." ”

Beigong Ru whispered: "I promised her that she would do what she wanted." ”

Zhao Yuanmin said with a straight face: "Childe, I always thought that you could focus on the overall situation, but the talent of the lord of the world, I don't want you to be so childlike." Childe should know that if you choose her, not only will you be jealous of your father, but she may also be killed. I followed you out just to remind Childe not to lose a big one because of a small one. One wrong step, one wrong step, your efforts over the years will be in vain, how will your mother deal with herself? ”

Beigong Ru was silent, he knew that every word Zhao Yuanmin said was to the point. He bowed deeply and said, "Thank you, General, for reminding me." ”

Zhao Yuanmin nodded and said: "This is only the first of many painful choices you will make in the future, Childe, if you choose this path, you will definitely have to pay more sacrifices than ordinary people." ”

After several rounds of wine, finally, Xian Gong narrowed his eyes, looked at Beigong Ru with a smile and said, "Ru'er, you won a big victory this time, and you didn't disappoint the widow." Whatever grace you want, every widow will give you. ”

At this moment, Xiu Yuyue's eyes were shining brightly, making Beigong Ru dare not look at her. Beigong Ru choked up, and subconsciously reached out and touched her left shoulder, just this slight move, the last bit of brilliance and anger in Xiu Yuyue's eyes seemed to be taken away, she looked at Beigong Ru blankly, and saw that his lips were closed one by one, but she couldn't hear what he said.

Xiangong smiled loudly and woke her up from her nightmare: "Okay, Ru'er, the widow is as you wish, and you will be named the Zhongjun Zuo." ”

"Zhongjun Zuo, Zhongjun Zuo......" Xiu Yuyue closed her eyes and sneered in her heart: "Okay, he finally got his wish and got one-third of the military power in the world." He traded me for a chance to dominate the world. ”

At this time, Beigong Ru came up to toast to Xiangong, poured a cup for Xiu Yuyue, and entrusted it to her with both hands. When she took it, she felt that something seemed to be at the bottom of the cup, and she couldn't help but rejoice: it seemed that he had other plans. Thinking of this, she craned her neck and drank all the wine.

Xiangong was drunk that night, and You Qu arranged Xiuyuyue in Chaoyingxuan according to Xiangong's intentions. Xiu Yuyue didn't know that this Chao Yingxuan was one of the best bedrooms in the palace, second only to Queen Kuiji's Zixia Palace, which showed that Xiangong admired her. She didn't care about the exquisite luxury of this Chao Yingxuan, and waited until everyone retreated, then she took out the note hidden at the bottom of the wine glass just now, and couldn't wait to open it.

This is his word: Heavenly Sect's wish is against the body. "Heavenly Sect's wish is against the body, Heavenly Sect's wish is against the body...... she muttered, her shoulders trembled excitedly, and suddenly there was a thunderclap in the sky, covering up her poignant laughter: "Good, good, Beigong Ru, you are so ruthless." ”

Beigong Ru dragged his heavy steps back to Caige Yuan to visit his mother, Concubine Pinggui's faint expression as usual could not see much joy, Beigong Ru didn't seem to notice, and walked back to the room like a walking corpse. At this time, it was raining in the sky, and he took off his clothes and walked to the cloister naked. He stood in the courtyard with his arms high above his head, his eyes closed, and let the cold rain wash over him and beat him fiercely.

It was dark and I couldn't see my five fingers, it was as dark as the night in the woods, but there was no more fireflies in circulation, and the fluorescence was like the shattered hope of Xiuyuyue, and it was finally swallowed up by this vast blackness. The guilt was too heavy, and he finally gave up, bent his knees, and fell heavily to the ground. He hadn't cried for a long time, the rain mixed with tears slid down his face, quietly accommodated by the earth, as if every sore spot he had been growing up in had to be silent.

If you say that you don't have a chance, why do you want to meet her? If it is said that there is fate, why does the heart eventually turn into nothingness.
