Chapter 136: Red Dust Three Thousand Hearts Die
Li Zhenchen's eyes were indifferent, and his face gradually calmed down: "This place is no longer worth my nostalgia, it is better to go back, and there will be peace during the day, which will also satisfy their hearts!"
Su Liruo heard the forbearance and helplessness in his tone, her heart moved, and she whispered with some guilt: "Li Zhenchen, there is one thing I have to tell you, in fact, the investigation was back then..."
"It's okay, it's over, just let it pass! I don't blame, and you don't have to dwell on it. Li Zhenchen interrupted her, and his tone was very calm.
Su Liruo was stunned and looked at him suspiciously: "You know..."
Li Zhenchen smiled suddenly, and said helplessly: "Few people knew about the things back then, and the ministers of the government and the opposition didn't know anything, and suddenly started to investigate and set off a storm.
Su Liruo was stunned, he actually guessed that it was her idea to let people investigate the Huns in the first war? After a while, she asked in a slightly trembling voice, "Do you hate me?"
"There is providence in the dark, and you are just a calamity for me." Li Zhenchen shook his head lightly and said, "And what I really have to endure is... The catastrophe they left behind, a princess of an enemy country, gave birth to the prince of the Great Day. Even if I die alone, it will be difficult to quench the hatred between the two countries, and my identity is destined to be intolerated by those people. ”
Su Liruo was full of emotion in his heart, he was right, even if there was no matter of the Huns back then, because he was born to the princess of the enemy country, the royal family would not allow him.
"Liruo, in your heart from beginning to end, Li Moxiao is more suitable for the throne than me, right?" Li Zhenchen asked suddenly, and when she finally answered, he changed the topic and said, "Time is pressing, go and stay... You get an idea as soon as possible..."
Su Liruo sighed lightly: "This is indeed not a place for me to stay for a long time, but I can't leave now!" As she spoke, she raised her eyes and stared at him, "Li Zhenchen... Thank you! ”
Li Zhenchen looked at her, with a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth, and said, "Okay, since that's the case, then you... Be careful yourself! ”
Su Liruo's moist eyes lowered, and he didn't have the courage to look at him anymore, even if he knew that she was the one who provoked the investigation of the Xiongnu incident back then, he still wanted to protect her. Even if she brushed off his kindness, she didn't ask much or force it, and followed her wishes.
Downstairs in the hall, Li Mo Xiao waited with a calm face, he really couldn't rest assured that Su Liruo was alone with Li Zhenchen. Hearing Li Zhenchen's life experience, he was shocked and mixed at the same time, although there was no brotherly affection between them, and some were just the previous secret battles, and the current open disputes. But he still deeply sighed for Li Zhenchen's life experience, and even sympathized with the wrongs he suffered. It's just that Li Zhenchen suddenly took Su Liruo to the second floor, who knows if it's the end of the road and fighting to the death? Kidnapping or injuring Su Liruo? His actions made the emotions that had just aroused some good feelings in Li Moxiao's heart disappear in an instant, but he hated him even more than before, resenting him.
Li Mo thought about it, his heart became more and more irritable, he glanced at Master Chen, I don't know why he believed in Li Zhenchen so much, and gave him an unreasonable request to let him take Su Liruo? For this imperial uncle who has attained the Tao, Li Moxiao knows very little, and has heard that he has a smooth career, and when he was in his prime, he suddenly resigned from the court, unloaded his glory, and entered the temple to become a monk. Is it because of the struggle for power between princes, and you are tired of it? Or is it for the sake of confidantes, and the heart is broken? Or is it the sudden death of the eldest prince Ming Ruigong, which prompted him to feel sad and uncertain? In short, no one knows why he saw through the red dust and escaped into the empty door? It is still a mystery to this day, but his enlightenment and cultivation of devotion to the Buddha and compassion are admired and respected by the entire royal family and even the common people... Master of Dust!
As for the Qing cultivation that disturbed Master Chen because of Li Zhenchen this time, it was Empress Xian and Qing Zegong who discussed and agreed that only Master Chen could purify Li Zhenchen's fierce anger.
Qing Zegong never participated in or ignored the political affairs of the government and the opposition, and when he was young, he did whatever he wanted and was romantic. After the prime of life, he suddenly changed his sex, purified his desire to cultivate his mind, lived in a simple place, and rarely showed up. If it weren't for the crime of leading the ministers to clear Li Zhenchen this time, I am afraid that few people would still remember the Qingze Gong who was once suave and famous in the land of fireworks.
In contrast, the rough and reckless Pingxu Gong is full of family fun, and his six sons and four daughters have all made some achievements.
At the beginning, Emperor Zhen removed Li Zhenchen from the general and handed him over to Pingxu Gong to raise, firstly, to prevent the Qiu royal family from secretly attacking Li Zhenchen. The second is that Pingxu Gong Ding is vigorous, lacking the happiness of his father and mother caring for Li Zhenchen and Rongheng's family affection, and growing steadily. Emperor Zhen's well-intentioned love for him is self-evident, not to mention the preparation of rich property for him.
It's just that after thousands of calculations, I never imagined that Li Zhenchen was born extraordinary, wise and brave. He is ambitious for the throne and is bound to win. If he hadn't been burdened by his life experience, at this time, he would have already won the battle and held the throne.
A burst of footsteps came, Li Moxiao looked up, Li Zhenchen and Su Liruo came down the stairs one after the other.
Li Zhenchen's face was calm, his eyes were calm, and he looked like the two of them when he heard about his life experience just now, it seemed that he had figured it out and was willing to let go.
Empress Xian secretly breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Qing Zegong and them, and bowed slightly.
Li Zhenchen stood still, waved his hand casually, and a puff of green smoke quickly swung out from his cuffs, rushing into the air to bloom a few wisps of fireworks, spinning out the ultimate brilliance, but disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Everyone was amazed, and wondered why he acted like this. The heart that had just been put down hung again, staring at him nervously.
Only Su Liruo knew that he was informing his generals and even those dead soldiers to leave the hall.
Li Zhenchen ignored everyone's vigilant gaze, went straight to Master Chen, performed a Buddhist salute, and said reverently: "Master, the disciple is willing to put aside the troubles of the world, ask for a pure land, and hope that the master will be fulfilled!"
Li Moxiao was shocked, how could he not have imagined that he was arrogant and arrogant, and he was actually willing to unload his glory and ambition of power and escape into the empty door? He looked at Su Liruo with surprised and puzzled eyes.
Su Li didn't say anything, his face was a little pale.
Master Lichen clasped his hands together and said happily: "It's rare for the donor to be wise, so good!" The old man must do his best to help the donor purify his demonic obsession as soon as possible, and realize the emptiness! Donor, please! ”
"Yes, disciple respectfully!" Li Zhenchen raised his head and slowly looked at everyone, touching Ping Xugong's vague reluctant eyes, and his helpless expression of wanting to speak and stopping, he paused and looked away.
When he looked at Empress Xian, his face was dark, his eyes were deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Maybe he was thinking that if his mother was not a princess of the enemy country, then he would not lose so badly! Perhaps he was grateful to her for revealing the mystery of his origins, so that he could completely let go of the grievances between his brothers.
But Su Liruo knew that he would never resent her, after all, his mother was so loving and unhesitating, he would rather give up the concern of the next life and sacrifice himself to appease the hatred between the two countries. He is the princess of Qiu Kingdom, who is lonely and courageous, and the son of the wife of the emperor of the Sun Kingdom, how can he be a mediocre person? Narrow-minded? He is arrogant, resolute and resolute, brave and intelligent, all of which uphold his mother's demeanor.
Li Zhenchen and Li Moxiao looked at each other, he raised his eyebrows, and pulled out a faint wry smile, as if to say, you won!
In the end, Li Zhenchen's gaze was fixed on Su Liruo's face, staring deeply, maybe he wanted to imprint her face in his heart. When she turned around and escaped into the empty door, her face was like a seal for eternity, but she could only recite the salute with the withered shadow of the green lamp, and she never had a chance to love and hate.
Li Zhenchen cast the last trace of affection, that is, he resolutely turned around and strode away with Master Chen.
Li Moxiao's heart was shocked, and he wanted to step forward, but Empress Xian quickly grabbed him and said in a low voice: "Let him go!"
Li Moxiao looked at the queen mother blankly, his eyes full of questions.
"When he leaves, the day will be peaceful." Empress Xian's face was calm, and she said almost indifferently: "Qiu Guocai will not take advantage of his ambitions, this is Sister Lian Shu's last wish, and it is also your father's wish!" It's rare that you want to disobey and ignore the century-old foundation? ”
When Su Liruo heard this, she raised her eyes and looked at Li Mo Xiao who stopped in a daze, Empress Xian's calm and indifferent face, and her sharp Danfeng eyes, she was so stiff that she trembled slightly, and her heart was choked with something that she couldn't say.
She looked back at Li Zhenchen's tall and upright body at the door of the hall, and her heart suddenly overflowed with sourness: as smart as him, he had already seen through the situation in front of him, and the stakes in it. If he throws everything aside and fights to the death, his odds of victory are slightly better. But he finally gave up, just like his mother's righteousness and love, maybe their mother and son saw it thoroughly, and their existence was destined to be a tragedy. Not only was he not tolerated by the Kingdom of Day, but he was also watched by the State of Qiu, he was luckier than his mother, Master Lichen cared about the royal bloodline, and tried his best to take him out of the vortex of right and wrong and save his life. If Lian Shu was nostalgic for the world and unwilling to sacrifice her life to settle revenge, what would happen to her? Does Emperor Zhen accommodate her identity? Does Empress Xian really want her son to be the crown prince and tolerate serving her as a husband?
Su Liruo's eyes gradually blurred his back, and finally disappeared. She staggered, wanting to give him an apologetic word: in fact, with his wisdom and courage, he deserves to sit on the throne of Daylight! It's a pity that she knew that it was too late, even if his life experience was shameful to the Da Sun royal family, and if she didn't propose to investigate the battle of the Huns that year, at this time, she wouldn't be so guilty and uncomfortable!
Someone supported the crumbling Su Liruo at the right time, causing her steps to stagnate, she stabilized her body in panic, looked up blankly, and crashed into Li Moxiao's bottomless pupils.
Li Moxiao saw that her eyes were filled with ripples and tears, filled with desire to burst out of her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a tingling in her heart: she actually shed tears for him? Just now... Don't... Does she want to run with him?
After thinking about it, Li Moxiao's face was cold, his brows were furrowed, his eyes were deep, and he clenched her wrist hard.
The pain on her wrist made Su Liruo gradually calm down, she looked at Li Moxiao's angry eyes, and suddenly woke up: it was her idea to play out Li Zhenchen's Achilles heel and help Li Moxiao ascend to the throne. What did she want to do just now? What could she do? seems to be providential, Li Zhenchen's life experience is like a double-edged sword, which contributed to the rapid completion of the matter and the dust settled.
Su Liruo lowered her eyes gloomily, let Li Moxiao clutch her wrist, gritted her teeth, and forcibly hid the tears rolling in her eyes.
It was already noon when Su Liruo returned to the other garden, Jiu'er and Xiaoyue were surprised and happy, and greeted Su Liruo into the room with tears in their eyes.
Su Liruo was silent, and as soon as he touched the edge of the bed, he collapsed on the couch, covering his head with his clothes, I don't know if he was tired? Frightened? Or do you feel uncomfortable?
Jiu'er and Xiaoyue didn't dare to ask questions and quietly exited the room.
In the courtyard, Su Xiru, who came back with her, stood with her hands in her hands, watched the two maids lean over and withdraw, and sighed secretly: With such a sensitive and delicate temperament, I am afraid that she will be sad again!
"If my sister is frightened!" Zhao Zijin stood behind him, distressed and slightly angry: "Since we all know that Li Zhenchen will be unfavorable to Sister Ruo, why do you want to let her behave recklessly?" Don't... You have already planned to use Sister Ruo as bait to lure Li Zhenchen into the bait? And then..."
Su Xiru didn't look back, but his voice was extremely cold: "Ruo'er found Li Zhenchen's fatal weakness, he would never let her go, and we just followed the clues to the guild hall and found out where Li Zhenchen was hiding."
"It turns out... Originally... Are you really using Sister Ruo to lure out Li Zhenchen? Zhao Zijin covered his depressed heart, feeling extremely painful, for the innocent Su Liruo, and for the arrogant Li Zhenchen. Although she didn't know what happened inside? But Li Zhenchen calmly and indifferently followed Master Chen, which Zhao Zijin did not expect, and she looked at his back in the distance in surprise. I don't know why the thought that popped up in my mind was: If my sister persuaded Li Zhenchen to put down the butcher's knife, Li Zhenchen escaped into the empty door for Sister Ruo!
Su Xi didn't answer, silently facing the midsummer breeze, his eyes were gloomy, and he fell into a state of confusion.
Zhao Zijin turned around angrily and left, and went straight to the palace, she played and questioned Li Moxiao in person, oh, no! It's His Majesty Emperor Hua, since he likes Sister Ruo, why did he ruthlessly disregard her safety and bait Li Zhenchen?
Zhao Zijin ran wildly all the way, running and running, but near the palace wall, panting and falling, prostrate on the ground, grabbing his collar and crying loudly. She suddenly found that she had lost her way, and he was no longer the personable and majestic Crown Prince whom she knew and loved, and vowed to accompany Bai Shou! He is already the Emperor of the Great Day, above the Nine Exalted Ones.
Zhao Zijin was tired of crying, his voice was hoarse, his eyes were red and swollen, he got up on his own, and staggered back like a lost soul. At this moment, she finally understood in her heartache: he who is high above her is getting farther and farther away from her, out of reach! So... In what capacity is she qualified to accuse him? How dare she question him? Her wishful thinking was doomed to fail miserably from the start.
Not long after Zhao Zijin left, the chief guard guarding the palace wall hurriedly entered the Lanyue Hall and told Emperor Hua about Zhao Zijin's strange behavior.
Li Mo Xiao heard that Zhao Zijin fell and cried bitterly, his face was shocked, and he stood up suddenly, wanting to go out.
The chief of the guard hurriedly said that Zhao Zijin had left, Li Mo paused suddenly, his face was gloomy, and after a while, he waved his hand to retreat.
Splendid Garden, Su Liruo, who was groggy and half-asleep, suddenly startled, touched his tentacles, his forehead was hot, and his pillow was wet, I don't know if it was tears or sweat? She got out of bed in a daze, only to find that she was exhausted and couldn't lift her spirits. She groped her way to the window, pushed the window and looked up, it turned out that it was already three watches in the middle of the night. She leaned against the window frame and looked at the night sky, the stars were dense and shining.
Su Liruo fell ill, was bedridden for a few days, became thinner and weaker, and was emaciated!
On this day, she got out of bed, pretended to be plain clothes and went out of the door, and as soon as she arrived at the courtyard, Li Moxiao came!
Looking at each other, Li Mo Xiao was stunned, she hadn't seen her for more than ten days, she was so thin and couldn't help but be so weak? Originally, he was worried and worried, and when he heard that she was sick, he didn't care about the etiquette and went straight to the other garden, but he was shocked by the servants and maids in the other garden, and he was in a hurry, kneeling on the ground, trembling and asking for peace.
Li Moxiao looked at her with deep eyes, and a wave of anger burst out of her heart: before, her eyes were full of tears for him, but now, she is actually emaciated and sick for him?
Su Liruo was stunned for a moment, slowly came back to his senses, leaned over slightly, and asked Li Moxiao for peace.
When her attitude of neither humility nor arrogance came into Li Moxiao's eyes, he was completely enraged, pulled her arm, squinted, burst into a strong flame, and almost roared: "You actually shed tears and regrets for him, and became ill?" Is he really that good? Torture yourself like this... So far? In the last sentence, he roared with pity.
Su Liruo was shocked, looking quietly, and from his angry pupils, the frivolous and stubborn, but gentle and lustrous figure was gradually enveloped by the gloomy and ruthless imperial momentum. She smiled suddenly, and replied softly and coldly: "Your Majesty has a lot of opportunities, but you deign to come to the other garden, and you are terrified. If there is anything inconsiderate, please forgive your majesty for forgiveness! ”
Her indifferent and detached tone made Li Moxiao's heart stagnate, and the sting pain that pierced into the bones fiercely. In fact, his original intention was not like this, he was full of anxiety about her condition, regardless of being criticized by the courtiers, and ran to visit her with a bad reputation. But why is she so cold and strange when they meet?
Li Moxiao was immersed in gloomy and sad thoughts, and without thinking about it, a palm wind slammed into him, forcing him to let go of the arm that was clutching Su Liruo and staggered back.
