Chapter 95: Otherwise? Shall I marry you?

On the winter solstice, the gentleman is quiet, and all officials are dead.

Lu Li, who was rarely idle, lay on the bed in Fanghua Palace, looking at the orange sun shadow on the window lattice, and squinted his eyes comfortably.

Su Qingyuan pinched his shoulders and gritted his teeth: "You don't plan to lie here all day again, do you?" ”

"What, you still have the strength to get out of bed?" Lu Li immediately turned to look at her, his eyes lit up.

Su Qingyuan instinctively shrunk her neck and shook her head again and again.

Lu Li sighed a little disappointed, and then showed a mouth full of white teeth: "Since you don't have the strength, just lie down honestly!" Come, come into my arms, and let me see if my son is awake? ”

Su Qingyuan slapped the back of his hand, and his face was flushed with anger: "It turns out that you still remember a child?" I'll just treat you if you don't care if he lives or dies! ”

"How so?" Lu Li squinted his eyes and smiled happily, "Our children are so well-behaved, they never do bad things at critical times, it's too late for me to hurt him!" ”

Su Qingyuan just wanted to strangle him.

Lu Li looked at her fierce appearance, and his heart was already itchy. Before Su Qingyuan woke up, he immediately pounced and overwhelmed her: "What are you staring at me for?" You touch your conscience and think, was I pestering you last night, or were you pestering me? Who is the person who refuses to sleep all the time? ”

"You!" Su Qingyuan's eyes widened, and she was menacing.

Lu Li let out a long sigh and made a pitiful look: "If you provoke a Hedong lion, your life is really bleak...... I can't feed it at night, and I have to be caught, bitten, stared at and yelled at during the day...... It's so hard to be a man! ”

Su Qingkite's face became darker and darker.

She didn't understand how she got into trouble with this shameless man in the first place?

He couldn't have been tricked, right?

She still can't remember the past, it's so easy to suffer, and she will inevitably be led by the nose by this bastard!

Su Qingyuan lifted the quilt with a "whew" and jumped out of bed.

Lu Li subconsciously reached out and grabbed a handful, but was quickly dodged by Su Qingyuan.

"It wasn't like I stumbled and fell." Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Su Qingyuan had already taken three steps and ran to the window.

Lu Li had no choice but to get up and chase after him: "Your spirit seems to be good, it seems that I was too kind to you last night!" ”

Su Qingyuan shuddered, hurriedly shook off his "Lushan Claw", turned around and stuffed himself into the wide Taishi chair, and turned his back.

Lu Li let out a chuckle, bent down and grabbed the armrest, lifted Su Qingyuan up along with the Taishi chair, and turned around.

So, poor Su Qingkite lost her shelter again, so she had to slip off the chair and run away.

Lu Li hurriedly put down his chair and chased after him in two steps: "You still dare to run?" Who was yelling about a stomachache yesterday? ”

Su Qingyuan was grabbed by his wrist, and he was anxious and angry. Hearing him question about yesterday's incident, she couldn't help but add three points of grievance and seven points of guilt: "If you weren't chasing me behind, why would I run ......?"

Lu Li tightened her in his arms and let out a long sigh: "Still so reckless, how can people rest assured?" ”

Su Qingyuan bit the corner of her lip, raised her head and glared at him: "So, you still dislike me?" ”

Lu Li was helpless: "How dare I dislike you?" Now I'm afraid you'll dislike me! ”

Su Qingyuan stood sullenly for a while, then lowered his head: "You haven't been to the imperial study for a few days, and the courtiers outside don't know what to say about you!" You've made me sit back for a while...... I'm always a little scared when I'm tired of being together like this all day long. ”

"What are you afraid of?" Lu was puzzled.

Su Qingyi said angrily: "If the water is full, it will overflow, and when the moon is full, it will be lost, and everything has been like this since ancient times." You are inseparable from me now, and I will worry in my heart that we will never see each other again in the future...... It's better to be more estranged, and maybe you can have a long time. ”

"Where did you learn this here?" Lu Li was so angry that his eyebrows were raised.

Su Qingyuan bowed her head and said nothing.

That's what she thinks in her heart, can't she say?

Lu Li looked down at her for a long time, and smiled helplessly: "Today's holiday, there is nothing to deal with in the imperial study. Since you dislike me like this, I will go to the imperial study after the dispersal of the dynasty tomorrow, and I will not come to you. ”

"Good!" Su Qingyuan immediately responded.

Lu Li's face was a little ugly, but after seeing that Su Qingyuan himself was also disappointed, he couldn't get angry.

"It's rare that the weather is fine, how about we go out of the palace today?" Lu Li crouched in Su Qingyu's ear and asked in a low voice.

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a moment, and turned her head: "Out of the palace?" Whose house to go to? Today, every family is busy worshipping their ancestors, who cares about you? ”

Lu Li let go of his hand and let her turn around, and said with great interest: "No one is going to anyone's house!" Let's go out of the palace and go to the temple fair! ”

"Okay?" Su Qingkite's eyes lit up immediately.

Lu Li smiled mysteriously: "Unless you don't want to go, there's nothing you can't do." ”

"However, how can the palace gate be so easy to get out ......" Su Qingyuan frowned, looking embarrassed.

Lu Li smiled mysteriously and ordered Xiao Luzi to go out and pass the steps.

Su Qingyuan changed her clothes and followed him out, but she still didn't have much hope for leaving the palace.

After the ceremony, Lu Li casually instructed the little eunuch: "Go to the Qingyin Pond Pavilion." ”

Su Qingyuan frowned.

Qingyin Pond Pavilion should be a palace, right? What Lu Li said about "going out of the palace to catch the temple fair", could it be to create a scenery similar to the folk customs in the palace, and send a group of palace maids and eunuchs to pretend to be ordinary people to entertain themselves?

If so, she doesn't like it!

"Here it is." Lu in front left the mouth.

The two stepped sides stopped together, and Lu Li walked over quickly to help Su Qingyuan down, and smiled: "This place, do you like it?" ”

Su Qingyuan squinted her eyes and took a look, only to see that the attic stage was built near the water, and the railing corridor was painted red, green and green, which looked lively, but where did it look like a temple fair?

Lu Li saw her dissatisfaction, lowered his head and smiled in her ear: "Don't worry, let's go in and see." ”

Su Qingyuan hesitated for a moment, and sure enough, he followed him in.

The destination is a familiar loft. Su Qingyuan naturally didn't remember that on her birthday, she was entangled with Lu Li in this pavilion for a while, and then she went to Yeting Palace.

Lu Li saw that she was at a loss, and he felt a little lost.

But he didn't say much, just ordered Xiao Luzi and the guards to guard the outside, and then grabbed a corner of the table and lifted it hard.

The table didn't move, but the ground beneath his feet made a "click" sound.

Su Qingyuan was shocked.

I saw a large hole slowly appear in the ground, and a long staircase led straight to the deep underground.

Su Qingyuan was so frightened that she retreated again and again.

Lu Li smiled and took her hand: "The guards are already waiting for us below." The light moon and clouds stayed to take care of here, and Luoxia lit the glass lamp, follow us down. ”

Luo Xia agreed, and sure enough, she found two glass lamps in the drawer and lit them, one was handed to Su Qingyu, and the other was held by herself, and she took the lead.

Lu Li carefully helped Su Qingyuan and went down the steps step by step.

The hole behind him slowly closed, and the surroundings immediately fell into darkness, except for two dim glass lamps, which staggered forward.

This glass lamp is the most suitable for rain and snow. Especially in foggy weather, when ordinary lanterns can only shine a small aperture, this small and inconspicuous thing can come in handy.

But strange to say, since walking down the steps, the light of the glass lamp has gradually dimmed, and the yellowish light can only illuminate the distance of one or two steps under the feet, and the milky white mist can be faintly seen in the aperture spinning incessantly.

Such a spectacle is really not interesting.

The darkness around them seemed to have weight, pressing down heavily from all directions, and it was so suffocating that people could not breathe.

"Mother, watch your step." Luo Xia reminded softly.

Immediately there was an echo of "buzzing" in the distance, as if some kind of monster was whistling in.

Su Qingyuan exclaimed in surprise and shrank into Lu Li's arms.

A new echo rang out again.

"Lu Li, let's go out!" Su Qingyuan's voice was already a little trembling.

Lu Li noticed that she was trembling, so he hurriedly stood still, took out a small night pearl from his purse, and put it in her hand: "Don't be afraid, look, it won't be dark this way!" ”

The faint light of the night pearl, in this pure black underground world, really shines farther than the glass lamp.

Su Qingyuan could barely see the damp walls, and her heart finally settled down a little.

However, it was still uncomfortable.

"Why are we here? Are you going to lock me up where I came from? Su Qingyuan tugged at Lu Li's sleeve tightly and refused to go any further.

"Of course not, how could you think like that......" Lu Li's heart was a little flustered.

Su Qingyuan turned around, lifted his cloak and got in, trembling all over: "Lu Li, if you are tired of it, just give me a glass of poisoned wine...... I don't like being locked up here, not at all......"

"Kite, no!" Lu Li finally realized that the problem was far more serious than he originally thought.

Su Qingyuan grabbed Lu Li's shirt and said in a trembling voice: "Shall we go out?" I'm scared...... There's a secret room in there, and there's a lot of terrible stuff hidden in it, and that woman will torture me in all sorts of horrible ways...... I was afraid of the dark, so she wouldn't let me light the lamp, and left me alone in a secret room full of scorpions and rats; And the people—the damned eunuchs, their eyes red like blood, they're not people, they're wild ghosts that have come out of the ground......"

Lu Li's heart clenched tightly.

He hurriedly picked up Su Qingyuan, and comforted him in a low voice as he ran: "It's all over!" Kite, it's all over......"

This passage is not very long, and after a while, guards with torches will come up from the front.

Su Qingyuan noticed that the surroundings were much brighter, and finally poked his head out tentatively, staring at the torch in the guard's hand with wide eyes.

Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly said, "Don't be afraid, let's just go out of the palace from here!" There are no secret rooms, no bad guys, no scorpions and rats......"

Su Qingyuan still grabbed his shirt tightly, looking nervous, and did not answer his words.

So for the rest of the road, Lu Li walked extremely quickly, almost trotting all the way forward.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a bright light ahead, and it was the guards who had opened an exit.

Su Qingyuan felt as if she had survived hundreds of years, and her sore eyes had already turned red.

After finally drilling out of the hole, Lu Li let out a long sigh of relief, and Su Qingyuan was already lying in his arms, crying bitterly.

"Ah kite, don't be afraid, don't be afraid...... Lu Li had no choice but to pat her on the back and persuade softly like a child.

Su Qingkite's heart was still beating hard, and every joint in her body was soft, as if someone had pulled out her muscles and bones. She was both scared and aggrieved in her heart, and she wanted to catch Lu Li and beat him hard, but she didn't even have the strength to let go of her hand.

- Her hands were still tugging at the hem of Lu Li's clothes, and she wanted to let go, but her fingers didn't obey her at all.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's all over......" Lu Li took the trouble to help her pat her back and breathe, feeling remorseful.

Su Qingyuan's crying was silent, but it was more worrying than any howl.

Lu Li hugged her tightly and sighed incessantly.

Xu was because the past few days had been too pleasant, and he actually ignored the fears that had accumulated in Su Qingyuan's heart.

He thought the matter had been revealed.

Su Qingkite forgot many things. Lu Li thought that those terrible encounters would no longer need to be remembered, but he didn't know that fear had already penetrated deep into the bone marrow, like maggots on tarsal bones, and it was difficult to get rid of them.

It wasn't until Su Qingyuan was tired of crying that Luo Xia dared to come over, broke her fingers one by one, held her stiff and blue fingertips in her hands and rubbed them gently.

Lu Li wiped the corners of Su Qingyuan's eyes, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Have you cried enough?" If that's not enough, you can cry a little longer. ”

Su Qingyuan shook her head, her face was still stiff, and she didn't have any expression.

Luo Xia said in a low voice: "Niangniang is willing to cry, but it is not necessarily a bad thing. If the previous grievances are held in the heart, I am afraid that the future will be endless. ”

Lu Li pulled Su Qingyuan up, helped her sit down on a chair, and squatted down beside her: "In the past few days, I have asked someone to search the tunnel inside and outside several times, and the secret room has also been found." There were weapons, food, and some strange Gu magic tools, but there were no rats or scorpions, and there were no red-eyed wild ghosts—are you mistaken? ”

Su Qingyuan looked at Lu Li in a daze, and didn't seem to understand his words.

Lu Li let out a long sigh: "Ah Kite, are you tired?" Why don't we go back to the palace? ”

"Really...... Are there no ghosts? Su Qingyuan looked around uneasily, only to see the sun and shadows outside the window, where are there any ghosts?

Lu Li grabbed her hand and carefully helped her stand up: "Ah Kite, take a closer look, this is the world of our South Vietnam, and it will be bright and clear when you go out!" Even if there are one or two rats and a few unsightly demons in some shady gutter, they won't be able to struggle for long! You have to believe that as long as we are single-minded, sooner or later we will pull them out one by one and scatter their bones and ashes! ”

Su Qingyuan was stunned for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.

Lu Li asked the guards to push open the door and led Su Qingyuan out slowly.

When the sun shone on her body, Su Qingyuan shuddered, and her tightly clenched heart finally relaxed.

She looked up at the bright sun and asked suspiciously, "What is this place?" ”

Lu Li carefully supported her and said softly, "We are already outside the palace walls." It was originally an ordinary house, but there is a tunnel leading directly into the palace - after discovering this secret, I had someone buy it, and now you can use this as another home for us. ”

"Tunnels, leading to the palace?" Su Qingyuan frowned.

Her confused mind seemed to have something in mind, but she couldn't figure it out for a while.

Lu Li hugged her and smiled: "Although there is a tunnel, this cave can only be entered and exited, so it is impossible for people outside the palace to enter from here, you don't have to worry." ”

Su Qingyuan thought for a moment and nodded hesitantly.

The group changed their costumes in the south room, pretended to be ordinary rich and noble, and went out of the gate.

Su Qingyuan was still a little distracted, and Lu Li tried to ask something from her, but there was no obvious gain.

In fact, Su Qingyuan herself doesn't remember what she said in the tunnel.

She doesn't even remember anything authentic. For her, such a dark place is the legendary underworld.

Lu Li suspected that those terrible things were just Su Qingyuan's imagination in a state of panic, but he didn't dare to ask her for verification, for fear that she would think of something terrible again.

Those dark days must have been her unbearable torment, how could he bear to lead her to reminisce again?

When passing by a paper horse shop, Su Qingyuan suddenly stood still and said in a low voice: "Lu Li, let's not go to the underworld, okay?" If we die in the future, we will be a pair of wandering spirits in the world, eating and drinking, and going out day and night......"

"Isn't that to frighten many timid little girls like you?" Lu Li lowered his head and asked with a smile.

Su Qingyuan laughed out loud: "But I'm not a 'little girl' anymore, I'm going to be a mother." ”

Lu Li nodded the tip of her nose and said with a smile: "I'm going to be a mother, I'm still so timid, I'm afraid of the dark, I'm afraid of ghosts, and I'm not afraid of children laughing at you!" ”

Su Qingyuan raised her head and glared at him: "I don't believe that you are not afraid!" In the future, when you go to the underworld after death, don't cry! ”

"I don't cry, I want to protect you." Lu Li said with a smile.

Su Qingyuan subconsciously leaned into his arms, and his heart gradually settled down.

He's there.

She seemed to have had a terrible dream, but the demons, the darkness that pressed down on her from all sides, could not catch up with her, for someone carried her all the way out until the light reappeared in front of her......

Since then, the boundless darkness doesn't seem so terrifying.

Su Qingyuan stood on tiptoe, hooked Lu Li's neck with both hands, and tilted her head very hard to peck him on the chin.

Lu Li narrowed his eyes and smiled.

A sneer suddenly sounded behind him.

Lu Li immediately hugged Su Qingyu, his body tensed, and he made a posture of vigilance.

Su Qingyuan didn't take the sneer to heart at all. She still hooked Lu Li's neck, smiling, calm.

A woman's voice came over coolly: "Sixth brother, didn't you say that the women of South Vietnam are all gentle, courteous, and elegant?" Why don't I look like it? People can hug and kiss on the street, and they are not inferior to the hottest girls over there! You said earlier that you would be scolded as rude and indecent in South Vietnam......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" A rude male voice interrupted the woman.

Su Qingyuan frowned and slowly lowered her arm.

Lu Li hooked her waist again and chuckled: "Be happy, don't be affected by the barking of dogs." ”

Su Qingyuan chuckled lightly and leaned on his shoulder.

The delicate woman in red behind her frowned: "Sixth brother, what is 'dog barking'?" ”

"It's a dog barking." The man explained earnestly.

The woman immediately became angry, rushed to the front in three steps and two steps, and blocked the way of Su Qingyuan and the others: "Hey, it's so decent, why are you scolding?" ”

Lu Li frowned and was reluctant to speak.

Su Qingyuan looked at the woman carefully, and suddenly pursed her lips and smiled: "Because we are rude and obscene, we don't know shame!" If you keep barking, we will not only curse, but also beat! ”

"Hitting? With you, a hundred of them are not my opponent combined! The woman scoffed, flicking her cuffs in a threatening gesture.

Su Qingyuan shrank behind Lu Li and grimaced: "I won't fight you in person, I'm not stupid!" ”

"Hey, are you South Vietnamese women so cowardly?" The woman was so angry that her eyebrows rose.

Su Qingyuan spread his hands and said calmly: "No, I'm the only one who is more cowardly!" ”

"You ......" The woman glared at Su Qingyuan angrily, and couldn't think of how to refute it for a while.

Su Qingyuan blinked and smiled proudly.

The woman finally came back to her senses, glared at Lu Li and asked, "How could you marry a woman who is both tricky and shameless and cowardly!" ”

"Or else? Shall I marry you? Lu Li asked calmly.

The woman's little face, which was already flushed with anger, became more and more purple: "I'm at least much better than her, right?" ”

Lu Li frowned, still reluctant to reply to her words.

Instead, Su Qingyuan poked her head out and showed a bright smile: "You are indeed much stronger than me - so did the man you like marry you?" ”

The woman subconsciously glanced at the "sixth brother", and her eyes immediately dimmed.

Su Qingyuan's heart suddenly felt a little apologetic.

Lu Li took her to his side again, turned around and arched his hand to the "sixth brother": "The guest from Xiliang is fortunate to be." ”

The "sixth brother" arched his hand and smiled: "Fortunately." ”

The woman in red ran back angrily and hugged the man's arm: "Sixth brother, they bullied me, what are you polite to them?" According to me, they should be allowed to taste the methods of our Xiliang people! ”

"Yun Yan has always been open-mouthed, Angju is here to apologize, please don't mind." The man bowed slightly, and said humbly.

It turns out that this "sixth brother" is the sixth prince of Xiliang, Bailiangju.

Lu Li glanced at Su Qingyuan, raised his head and smiled: "Their girls' families are like this, noisy and noisy, not necessarily really awkward." If you want to say that you are open-mouthed, this one in my family is really bitter and tricky, and you have to ask your guests to be more forgiving. ”

"Hey, who the hell are you talking to!" Su Qingyuan and the woman in red stomped their feet and shouted.

Two women who looked extremely difficult to mess with, one glared at Lu Li menacingly, and the other looked at Bai Lion Ju aggrievedly, and the atmosphere became weird and embarrassing for a while.
