It's a secluded and quiet fenced courtyard.

On the dilapidated wooden bed, Wanyun opened her eyes leisurely, looking at the unfamiliar illusion, Wanyun was stunned for a while, not knowing why she was here.

After a while, Wan Yun, who was originally indifferent, was suddenly stunned, and a flash of panic flashed in her eyes: "By the way, sister-in-law, sister-in-law is still in Zhao Rongdu's hands, no, I have to quickly ask my husband to save people, it's just ...... Where is here? Somebody? Is anybody at home?"

Hearing Wanyun's voice, Lao Ou at the outer door walked in with a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl: "Girl, are you awake?"

As soon as she saw someone coming, Wanyun got up from the bed and asked nervously, "Old man, where is this?" Do you know Chaoyang...... No, do you know about King Qian's Mansion, can you send me back?"

Wanyun originally wanted to talk about Chaoyang Palace, but thinking about it, King Qian's Mansion seemed to be closer, because one was outside the palace and the other was inside the palace.

Hearing this, Lao Ou and his granddaughter glanced at each other, and the latter said: "This sister, this is a small mountain village outside the city, although we know about King Qian's Mansion, but we are a little far away from King Qian's Mansion!"

"How did I get here?" Wanyun asked.

After Su Le came, Zhao Rongdu asked people to catch her up on another painting boat, and then she was knocked unconscious, and when she woke up again, she was already here, so Wanyun didn't know anything about what happened after she fell into a coma.

"Girl, our grandfather and grandson found you outside the village, and you were unconscious at that time, and there was no one beside us, so we had to bring you back. ”

Wanyun nodded, and said secretly in her heart: "It seems that Zhao Rong is afraid that I will wake up and report the news, so he threw me far away, so he can't stop him from killing his sister-in-law." ”

Thinking about it like this, Wanyun was even more anxious, this place was so far away, and she didn't know how long she had been in a coma, after so long, was Su Le still alive?

You must know that Su Le was already tied up by Zhao Rongdu at that time, and he didn't have any ability to fight back, such a lamb that could be slaughtered at any time.

"No, I'll have to go back and see, old man, do you have a horse in your village? ”

"This ......"

"Don't worry, I'll give you money, lots and lots of money. Wanyun said anxiously.

Hearing this, Lao Ou said with some embarrassment: "Girl, it's not that we don't want to, it's just that our horse is already some years old, it's an old horse, and it doesn't run very fast, and the horse is old, and this trip down is tossing its life!"

Lao Ou obviously has a lot of affection for this old horse, and he doesn't want this carriage to suffer like this, so he is very hesitant.

"Old man, I beg you, my sister-in-law is still in the hands of the gangsters, I have to go back to report the news, I have to have someone save her, so please!" Wanyun knelt down for Lao Ou, her eyes were full of tears.

At this time, Lao Ou's granddaughter couldn't stand it anymore, so she said sympathetically: "Grandpa, the horse will be given to her, we are accumulating virtue and doing good, if our carriage knows, it will definitely feel that this is a meaningful thing, so it is worth it." ”

The horse is their old partner, carrying goods, transporting goods, and doing the usual hard work to help their family, but there is always a time when the horse is old, and the horse has been in their family for decades, of course their family has feelings, and they don't want the horse to be tired of it when he is old, but if it is used to change people's lives, even if the carriage dies in the end, it is worth it.

Hearing his granddaughter's words, Lao Ou said with some reluctance: "Hey, okay! Saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, if the girl is really urgent, take it!"

"Thank you, thank you, old man, and this sister, thank you, when this matter is over, I will definitely visit and express my gratitude." ”

At this time, the grandfather and grandson didn't think much about it, they were simple and honest people, just to help Wanyun, but they didn't know that it was because of their kind act that their lives were changed.

Of course, that's all for later.

Speaking of the two ends, the other side, after Wanyun left, Zhao Rongdu was ready to kill Su Le and remove Su Le's stop, but just as he ordered someone to do it, Su Le said lightly: "I advise you not to do it." ”

"Why are you scared? or do you regret it?" Zhao Rongdu hooked his lips indifferently, and his eyes were sarcastic.

"No, I think it's more valuable to be alive. ”

"Oh~ This is interesting, then you say, how is it valuable?" Zhao Rongdu's tone was neat, and he was not in a hurry, Su Le had already fallen into his hands, so Zhao Rong was not afraid that Su Le would escape.

"I ask you, why did you kill me?"

"Of course, in order to remove your obstacle, with you helping Zhao Chaoyang, you are an obstacle on my path. ”

"But are you sure that if I die, it really won't be an obstacle?" Su Le raised his eyebrows lazily, with a faint smile on his face, looking a little leisurely, as if he was chatting about today's weather, not at all like a person who was tied up to be killed.

"Sure!" Zhao Rong replied without thinking about it.

Hearing this, Su Le smiled, and smiled with disdain: "I didn't expect His Highness Rongdu to be such a stupid person." ”

"What did you say?" Zhao Rongdu's eyes narrowed, and a flash of anger flashed in his eyes.

"I said you're stupid. ”

"You ......"

"What are you?Am I wrong?Do you think that if I die, you can really get what you want?" Su Le snorted coldly: "Maybe my death can make His Highness Chaoyang lose a strong backing, but don't forget, my identity is not only the backing of His Highness Chaoyang, I am also the 'Changle' of the two countries and the Purple Valley, you don't know what this 'Changle' represents, right?" If I die, it will not only affect the northern country, but also the southern country, the Purple Valley, if they know that you did this, do you think that even if you get the crown prince and the right to inherit the throne, can you really sit in that chair?"

Although Su Le's words made Zhao Rong uncomfortable to listen to, there was some truth in it, he wanted to kill Su Le just for the crown prince and the throne, but as Su Le said, even if he got it, Su Le's death would always cause waves.

Suddenly, Zhao Rong felt that he was a fool: "His Royal Highness has done a stupid thing, that is, he shouldn't let the Chaoyang Imperial Concubine go." ”

Letting Wan Yun go is equivalent to giving a channel to leak the news, as long as Wan Yun tells the story, Su Le's death, the north and the south and the Purple Valley will be held accountable to him.

Originally, Zhao Rong thought that Wanyun was just an inconsequential little woman who could be killed or not, but now it seems that he really did something wrong.

However, just when Zhao Rongdu thought so, Su Le said: "You are wrong, the result is the same whether you let go of the Chaoyang Imperial Concubine or not, because I am not stupid, if I knew that I might die, do you think I would not leave any clues? Will I really let the people who may have killed me go unpunished? So you don't have to blame yourself for letting the Chaoyang Imperial Princess, because whether she dies or not is a result, if I am not mistaken, they will definitely have found out that I am missing." ”

......

King Qian's Mansion, in the room where Su Le temporarily lived.

A slender red rope is wrapped around the fire candle, and a bell is tied to the other end of the red rope, at this time, the candle flame has burned to the red rope area, with the burning of the candle, the red rope is broken, and the bell tied to the other end falls to the ground, making a crisp sound.

"Huh?"

Outside the house, hearing the voice, Wu Shuang glanced at the door with some confusion and walked over: "Girl, are you awake?"

There was no sound in the room, and Wu Shuang called again, but there was still no sound.

Wu Shuang's brows furrowed, and he suddenly had a bad feeling: "There won't be another assassin, right?"

Thinking of this, Wu Shuang didn't care if Su Le was a person who hated others disturbing her sleeping, so she broke in immediately, but at this time, where was Su Le's figure.

"It's broken, something happened!" Wu Shuang was shocked, and the things in the room were also a little strange, there was a candle in broad daylight, and there was a red rope on the ground, and a bell was tied to one end of the red rope.

"Could it be that the girl wants to tell us something?" Wu Shuang was a little puzzled and checked again, and after that, Wu Shuang found an envelope next to the pillow.

Wu Shuang opened a glance, and at this look, Wu Shuang was suddenly shocked, and then hurriedly informed Zhao Xicheng.

At this time, after reading the letter, Zhao Xicheng immediately gathered his soldiers and horses and rushed to the West Lake, because the letter was left by Su Le, and the names of the West Lake and Zhao Rongdu were written in it.

Although the content of the letter was not written in detail, Su Le disappeared at this time, and such information was left, which shows that Su Le is now in West Lake, and in the hands of Zhao Rongdu.

......

"What do you mean by this? Did you give them a message?" Zhao Rongdu was furious: "Su Le, you don't talk about credit, and Your Highness let Zuo Wanyun go at a loss." ”

Su Le sneered: "Your Highness Rongdu, they all say that you are stupid, why are you really as stupid as a pig? You are a kidnapper, you kidnapped me, do I still have to talk to you about morality? Don't you think you are ridiculous?"

Zhao Rongdu's words are like a murderer and a victim, the murderer wants to kill, and the victim wants to escape, but the murderer asks the victim why he wants to escape.

Isn't this nonsense?

So it's really ridiculous.

"You ......"

"Okay, you don't want you anymore, and then you and I feel upset for you, so let's just ask you, do you let people go? If you let people go, I will act as if nothing happened, but if you don't repent, then I'm sorry, not only will you not be able to sit in that position, but you will never be able to live. Su Le said lightly.

It's really not a wise move to do it to her, although it seems to be beneficial to Zhao Rong, but in fact, there are more pros and cons than pros.

It's just that Zhao Rongdu is too greedy for power, so he made such a wrong decision.

"Have you thought it through?" Su Le said again, "If you need time, it might be a little embarrassing, because you don't have much time left." ”

Calculating the time, Zhao Xicheng and they should be almost there.

Zhao Rongdu frowned calmly and didn't speak again, because at this time, he didn't know whether he should continue or stop there, and swayed between the two.

"Is that position really that important? Even if you can do anything about it, brotherhood can be dispensed with?" Su Le's tone was faint, and there was also a lot of regret in it.

Obviously there are relatives, but it is better to be close, fratricide is the saddest thing in the world.

If he could, Su Le really didn't want to see this scene, let alone Zhao Rongdu and her, it shouldn't be said that he had a sister-brother relationship with Su Yunle, they were also close relatives.

But this is to get along with such a scene, Su Le really doesn't like it, and he is also very disgusted.

"You are not Your Highness, how do you know that it doesn't matter? And what kind of brotherly love, the emperor's family, there has never been any brotherly love, born in this family, we are destined to be your life and death from birth. ”

"Maybe, so I think you're pathetic. Saying that, Su Le pursed his lips and said with some self-deprecation: "Maybe I'm also quite pitiful, I am also an item of the Emperor's Family, I used to be the object of contention between the two countries, and now it is used to balance the existence of the two countries, which is also the most helpless place in life." ”

"People are sometimes so involuntarily, even if they don't want to do this, but they will eventually come to this point, this is life, but also helpless, but there are still many beautiful things in life, just like I met the man I love, and like my existence has kept the people of the two countries and the Purple Valley away from the war, so I think you may be able to look at life from a different angle, in that case you may get more." ”

"There are a set of principles, but if you have the opportunity to become an emperor, will you give up too?" Zhao Rongdu snorted coldly, not moved by Su Le's words, he just felt that Su Le was a woman, and she didn't have a chance to get such a status, otherwise Su Le might be even crazier than him.

Therefore, Zhao Rongdu does not believe in anyone who is not greedy for power, and some just don't have the opportunity to contact people in that position.

Hearing this, Su Le looked at him so quietly, didn't speak, and didn't know what he was thinking, for this reason, Zhao Rong glared at her: "What are you looking at? Could it be that His Highness is wrong? You just don't have a chance, otherwise you will be a person without brother and sister affection, maybe more cold-blooded than His Highness." ”

Su Le shook his head: "I think you're pathetic, really!"

Zhao Rong hated Su Le's words, and he didn't feel that he was pathetic, but he didn't say anything, because people at different heights would not say the same words, and Su Le was not a height in his eyes.

"If you really have a chance to become a king, what do you want to do after that?" asked Su Le.

"Of course, it is to lead the people of the northern kingdom to prosper, this is what an emperor should do, isn't it?" Zhao Rong replied without thinking about it.

"Has your father ever left the palace since he ascended the throne?"

"What do you want to say?" Zhao Rong didn't understand why Su Le suddenly asked like this, so he was a little puzzled.

Su Le smiled slightly: "You don't care what I want to say, you just need to answer me." ”

Zhao Rong thought about it, but still said: "No, since I was sensible, His Royal Highness remembers, there shouldn't be." ”

Su Le smiled: "Then you still want to become him? Don't you think that your father is a canary raised in the deep palace, he can't go anywhere except the palace, and then he has to go to the morning court early in the morning, and bury himself in the folds all day, day after day, year after year, this kind of life is interesting?"

“......”

Zhao Rongdu was speechless for a while, because he had never thought about this problem, he just knew that he was born to fight, and if he didn't fight or not, then he would be eliminated and wiped out.

But listening to Su Le's words, is it really good to be an emperor?

It was the first time Zhao Rongdu had such doubts, and it was also the first time he asked himself if he could accept that kind of life.

"Why? can't you answer, right?" Su Le smiled slightly, not surprised, because people are like this, when there is no comparison, they never know what is good and what is bad, but once there is a comparison, it is easy to have doubts.

And Emperor Zhao is a person who Zhao Rong can compare.

"Okay, don't make trouble, let me go first, they're already here. Su Le's words, Zhao Rong was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something.

Sure enough, when he looked out of the lake, he saw many boats coming in their direction, and the person standing at the bow of the boat was Zhao Xicheng.

Zhao Rongdu glanced at Su Le, then waved it, and motioned for the guards to untie Su Le's rope.

It didn't take long for Zhao Xicheng to run over with people, and then get on Zhao Rongdu's ship.

Seeing that Su Le was safe and sound, the anxiety on Zhao Xicheng's face finally let go, but then there was anger in the sky: "Zhao Rongdu, don't you know the importance of Sister Le to the Two Dynasties and the Purple Valley, what do you want to do?"

"I ......"

"I came on my own, and it has nothing to do with him. Su Le interrupted Zhao Rongdu's words.

Hearing this, not only Zhao Xicheng was stunned, but even Zhao Rong was stunned: "You ......" Does Su Le really want to act as if nothing happened?

At this time, Zhao Rongdu was really puzzled, Su Le said before, she said that as long as she let her go, she would treat it as if nothing had happened, at that time Zhao Rongdu thought that Su Le was an expedient measure, and just wanted to let herself go, but now it seems that she really has the intention to let herself go.

But why is that?

Had she forgotten how she had tricked her, and that he was the one who was going to kill her!

"Sister Le, he ...... Did he threaten you? That's why you didn't dare to say it?" Zhao Xicheng pointed at Zhao Rongdu, a little confused for a moment, not knowing what Su Le was thinking.

Su Le smiled slightly and said, "No, I was just invited to come over, and His Royal Highness Rongdu didn't do anything to me, we just chatted casually." ”

Is that really all there is to it?

If this is the case, then what about the candles and bells in the room, and the letters?

Zhao Xicheng was skeptical, but Su Le said so, and Zhao Xicheng didn't want to say anything, so he just said lightly: "Since that's the case, then it's time that Xicheng said the wrong thing, Your Highness Rongdu, I'm sorry!"

Zhao Rongdu glanced at Zhao Xicheng, and finally looked at Su Le: "What you said today, His Royal Highness will think about it." ”

After that, Zhao Rongdu didn't care what everyone's expressions were, and directly ordered people to dock, and then left the West Lake.

It wasn't until Zhao Rongdu took people away that Zhao Xicheng said, "Sister Le, let's talk about it, what's going on? What did you and Zhao Rongdu just talk about?"

Su Le smiled and raised his eyebrows lazily: "Secret!"

It's not that Su Le doesn't want to say it, it's just that she doesn't want to make extraneous troubles, after all, the matter has come to an end, why should she make unnecessary waves, besides, after today, Su Le believes that Zhao Rong will think it through.

However, if it is not clear what to think about, then there is no other way to do it.

On the other hand, Wan Yun rode the old horse of the old Ou family and returned to the northern capital bumpy, but when she came to King Qian's mansion, she was trying to ask Zhao Xicheng for help, but as soon as she entered the door, she was stunned before she could say anything.

"Sister-in-law...... Sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Looking at Su Le, who was sitting in the hall, Wanyun couldn't come back to her senses for a while: "You're not ......"

"I'm fine, nothing happened, but His Royal Highness Rongdu invited me to West Lake for a while, and then I came back. ”

What??

Wanyun crooked her brain, and there was a feeling that she didn't understand.

What is this and what?

Zhao Rongdu obviously used himself to lure Su Le to West Lake, but when he turned around, Su Le came back by himself, and said that he just went to play for a while?

Could it be that you are dreaming yourself?

Didn't anything happen before?

Wan Yun felt that her brain was a little insufficient, and she didn't know what was going on for a while, but Wan Yun was not stupid, she heard what Su Le meant, and it seemed that she didn't want to say it.

Wan Yun thought that Su Le didn't want Zhao Xicheng to worry about them, so she didn't say anything, and Wan Yun didn't say anything until Zhao Xicheng had something to leave, and Wan Yun walked up to Su Le nervously: "Sister-in-law, are you really okay?"

"Nope. Su Le stood up and spun around: "Look, it's good!"

"Then what's going on, why did His Highness Rongdu let you go?" Wan Yun said.

Su Le roughly talked to Wan Yun, and after listening, Wan Yun was silent for a moment before saying, "In this way, I will also be the canary in the future." ”

Hearing this, Su Le pursed her lips, not knowing how to comfort her, and finally could only say like this: "If people want something, they have to pay something, you have gained the supreme position, but you have lost your freedom, and Zhao Rong wants to get freedom, but he can't get that position, this is also relative, nothing is absolutely good or bad, it just depends on how you look at these things." ”

"I understand! Sister-in-law doesn't have to worry, even so, as long as I am with my husband, where it is, whether it is free or not, I don't care. ”

"It's good if you can think like that, but don't be too anxious, when the time comes, if you really want to get out of the palace, I'll find a way for you. Su Le said.

"Then I'll thank my sister-in-law first!" Wan Yun hooked her red lips and smiled slightly.

At this time, back in the hall, Zhao Rongdu has been silent, he didn't speak, he didn't do anything, he just sat in the chair, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Your Highness, you won't really give up, will you?" Qi Tian asked softly as he stood beside Zhao Rongdu.

"If you were His Highness, what would you do?" Zhao Rong didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.

"This ......"

Qi Tian opened his mouth, seeming to hesitate.

Zhao Rongdu glanced at him and said lightly: "Say it, even if you say it wrong, Your Highness will not ask you for your guilt." ”

Hearing this, Qi Tian arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, since you asked, the subordinates will tell the truth, in fact, the subordinates prefer to be more free, maybe because the subordinates do not have the ability to compete for that position, so they don't have that kind of covetous thoughts and desires, after all, you can't think of this kind of identity like your subordinates, and it's in vain to think about it, so you want to get something you can get, and then ...... Rather than losing their freedom, their subordinates want to fly in the vast sky. ”
