Since Tongzhou, this is still Zhu Youzhen and Chen Yuanyuan alone again. Under the ancient tower of the lamp, the scene of the two chanting poems and expressing love is still vivid, as if it was yesterday; But whoever it is, it's different from that time.

Zhu Youzhen goes without saying, after the turbulent waves of the past few months, he has gradually grown from a previous life who knows nothing about this era to a young commander who scolds Fang Xuan.

Although Chen Yuanyuan is more charming and moving, he can hardly hide the loneliness and fatigue in his expression, thinking that his career is really like a sword of wind and frost, making a bud that should have been budding bloom prematurely. As the saying goes, people are not good for a thousand days, flowers are not red for a hundred days, and blooming too early means withering prematurely; But in the dust, how could Chen Yuanyuan have the opportunity to choose?

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and felt guilty for the indiscriminate temper just now, and it took a long time before he snorted: "Miss Chen, I'm really sorry just now, but I'm not targeting you..."

Chen Yuanyuan hurriedly stopped Zhu Youzhen and said: "Don't say that, the slave family really shouldn't make the prince angry at that time." However, the slave family is like a leaf of duckweed in the surging river, and they can only involuntarily go with the flow. Please thank the princess on behalf of the slave family for her hospitality these days, the kindness of the prince and the mother, even if it is thousands of miles away, the slave family will not dare to forget. ”

Zhu Youzhen heard her miserable, and his heart was also sour, and he was even more determined to save her. So he said in a deep voice: "Miss Chen, you don't have to go back to Jinling, just stay in the palace!" ”

"How's that going to work!" Chen Yuanyuan was taken aback, stared at Zhu Youzhen's eyes for a long time before he said faintly, "The slave family is in Lejia, and there is a roster in the Teaching Division, if you don't go back to Jinling, my mother will definitely let the government come to arrest the slave family..."

"You don't have to worry about that." Zhu Youzhen resolutely said, "Since I can redeem myself for Yu Lian, of course I can also redeem myself for Miss Chen." ”

Chen Yuanyuan's eyes suddenly lit up, but they quickly dimmed, and he muttered: "The kindness of the prince, the slave family understands it." But the ransom fee of the slave family is as high as 200,000 taels of silver, and there are so many women in the world who are more beautiful than the slave family, why should the prince spend so much money for the slave family. ”

"Miss Chen, you're wrong." Zhu Youzhen was in a stirring mood, and said word by word, "I'm not greedy for the girl's beauty, I just think that the girl is naturally beautiful, and she really shouldn't be reduced to the dust." And the girl will stop calling herself a 'slave' in the future, there are no natural masters and slaves in this world, your own destiny should be in your own hands, and no one should force you to do anything! ”

Chen Yuanyuan looked at Zhu Youzhen in surprise, this kind of rhetoric was really unheard of for her. But under the careful tasting, there are every word!

As one of the "Qin Huai Bayan", she has fine clothes and food every day, and countless merry sons revolve around her like annoying bees, looking extremely beautiful. But only she knows how sour it is to smile and bend to meet her, and how shameful it is to sell her body and personality for the sake of dirty silver! When I think about it, there is not a day when I was not forced, and how can I have a life of my own!

At this point, Chen Yuanyuan finally couldn't suppress it anymore, and threw himself on Zhu Youzhen's shoulder, desperately gagged his mouth, and cried silently!

Zhu Youzhen also knew that Chen Yuanyuan had suffered many grievances over the years, but he didn't even dare to shed tears, he was so pitiful that he couldn't help but cry with her.

At this moment, although the bodies of the two are close to each other, Zhu Youzhen has no evil thoughts. For this weak woman in his arms, he just wants to protect her well, and he doesn't want her to suffer any more harm!

After a while, Chen Yuanyuan gradually calmed down, but he broke free from Zhu Youzhen's embrace, turned around and said softly: "What the prince said, Yuanyuan will not forget it in this life and this life!" But Yuanyuan is already a broken flower and a willow, and it is not worth the prince to spend so much silver, and it is not worth the prince's more trouble for me. There are many poor people in the world, and there are many people who are more pitiful than me, so the prince still has pity on them! After Yuanyuan returns to Jinling, he will burn incense and pray every day, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless the prince with many blessings and longevity..."

"Say no more!" Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan refused to obey, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but feel anxious, and forcibly pulled her shoulders and said, "No matter what, I won't let you suffer anymore!" It doesn't matter if you don't want to be in the palace, as long as you are happy, you can go wherever you want after the redemption, go to that fart... It's okay to venture out of Xinjiang, in short, don't grieve yourself anymore! ”

"Lord Wang!" Chen Yuanyuan couldn't help himself when he heard this, he couldn't stop crying, and only sobbed for a while: "Yuanyuan did appreciate those talented people who exported chapters before, but now I know that I was wrong!" Articles are not equal to learning, and poetry cannot save the country and the people!

"To tell you the truth, Yuanyuan has always suspected that you are the 'Cao Gongzi' you are talking about, but he doesn't want to explain. After saying goodbye to Tongzhou, Yuanyuan inquired in many ways and learned that 'You Gongzi' appeared in Xi'an. This time I came to Xi'an, I also wanted to find you to confirm it again, and to ask for the second half of the "Funeral Flower Yin" that you recited that day.

"But until I met you, I didn't know that you were the King of Qin. Yuanyuan has heard and witnessed it in Jingyang these days, and he has become more and more clear about it. Regardless of whether the prince is 'Cao Gongzi' or not, you have great talent and strategy, and you care about the people of Li, that thing is just a small skill of carving insects. Compared with you, Mao Gongzi is simply not worth mentioning, and he is half-hearted to Sister Xiaowan, Yuanyuan has long ignored him, how can he look for him? The land of wind and moon is really a sea of suffering, how can Yuanyuan not want to withdraw? It's just that... It's just..."

"It's just something, you should say it quickly!" Zhu Youzhen said with a white face.

"It's just that Yuanyuan is ashamed of himself, and he doesn't dare to stay in the palace!" Chen Yuanyuan finally mustered up the courage to speak out.

Zhu Youzhen suddenly realized that Chen Yuanyuan felt that her identity was too lowly, and she was the king of Qin, and the difference between the identities of the two was too great!

He hurriedly comforted him: "Yuanyuan, you are wrong again, I can't blame you for being trapped in the workshop, and I have never discriminated against a woman like you who has experienced ups and downs." Isn't Yulian just like you? Now she is still my concubine, and she is the director of the hospital, and everyone respects her. You can rest assured that you will live in the palace, and I will help you out of the happy place first. It's never too late to think about what you want to do in the future! ”

Chen Yuanyuan pondered for a long time, and was finally moved by Zhu Youzhen's sincerity, and rarely showed a bright smile, and responded softly: "The prince is so wrong to love, if Yuanyuan doesn't agree again, he will be so sorry for the prince, so he has to follow the prince's arrangement!" ”

Seeing that Chen Yuanyuan finally stopped insisting on leaving, Zhu Youzhen also breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but take her hand and smiled: "That's fine!" Everyone is worried about you, so let's go and tell them the good news. ”

Before the words fell, I only heard the window lattice being gently knocked a few times, and the cheerful voices of Rui'er and Bao Yulian came at the same time: "Lord Wang, Yuanyuan, it's time to eat, everyone is waiting for you!" ”
