Chapter 126: I can't sleep in my dreams
Su Liruo leaned on the corner of the carriage, immersed in chaotic thoughts, and unconsciously clenched the scroll in his hand.
Zhao Yue sat opposite, and his mood was also uneasy: I don't know what the scene of the palace was at this time? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince should have arrived! King Luo has deployed heavy troops to guard the inside and outside of the palace walls, and the temper of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will inevitably conflict.
Thinking of it, he sighed, looked up at Su Liruo and said in a low voice: "The old man is ashamed and frightened Miss Su, but the old man never thought that His Majesty would entrust Miss Su with a heavy responsibility." So... It makes Miss Su embarrassed! The old man couldn't understand it again and again, His Majesty only saw Miss Su once, but he was convinced of Miss Su, could it be... What is the relationship between Your Majesty and Miss Su? ”
Su Liruo slowly looked at the words when she heard this, frowned and thought: "Sir's doubts are exactly what Liruo thinks in his heart, why did His Majesty give up the important ministers of the government and the opposition, but entrust Liruo with the heavy responsibility?" I, a woman in a foreign country, am so worthy of a great responsibility? I'm afraid that I will be entrusted by His Majesty. ”
Zhao Yue's heart moved, and he seemed to have an understanding, and said: "Can the picture scroll in Miss Su's hand be seen by the old man, and you will know the mystery!"
Su Liruo lowered her eyes, looked at the scroll in her hand, and couldn't help but think of Emperor Zhen's inseparable voice, but insisted on letting her take it away. Don't... She raised her eyes sharply and looked at Zhao Yue and said, "What does Mr. mean..."
Zhao Yue nodded and affirmed: "This painting is very important, maybe all the answers are here!"
Su Liruo hesitated and held the scroll, silent, his eyebrows locked, could it be that this painting really hides a mystery? can reveal why Emperor Zhen entrusted her with a heavy responsibility, which is related to the rise and fall of the emperor of the great day! After a while, she finally handed over the scroll and watched Zhao Yue carefully open the scroll.
Zhao Yue was stunned, and a beautiful woman jumped on the painting, the shocking appearance, and the elegant and slender figure were lifelike. He stared at Su Liruo with a stunned face, and his hand trembling slightly, a little stunned in disbelief.
"Sir!" Su Liruo was stunned when he saw him staring at him in surprise, and called softly, "What's wrong?"
"I didn't expect there to be such similar people in the world!" Zhao Yue came back to his senses, retracted his gaze, looked down at the scroll, and muttered: "It turns out that Your Majesty regards Miss Su as the person in the painting..."
Su Liruo glanced at him in confusion, reached out and took the scroll to look at it, and blurted out blankly: "Mother!"
"What? This... The person in the painting is your mother? Zhao Yue's eyes were profound, and he suddenly realized: "No wonder, although Miss Su suffered bad luck and was dying, she was still delicate and transparent, and her bearing was extraordinary. Sure enough, Miss Su is not a thing in the pool...", after a pause, he smiled bitterly: "It's the old man who is stupid, at this time... I actually realized it later! ”
Zhao Yue knew in his heart that the person in the painting was the woman who Emperor Zhen cared about all his life, and Emperor Zhen, who was the crown prince, raised troops to attack Yuguo, only because Emperor Heng snatched love with a knife and made him lose his admiration. This matter is a scar in Emperor Zhen's heart, a taboo of the royal family, and no one has dared to touch it for many years. Zhao Yue finally knew Su Liruo's true identity, but he never expected that Su Liruo would be the princess of Yuguo?
Then Your Majesty should have known Su Liruo's identity when he introduced him last time, no wonder he still insists on seeing Su Liruo when he is dying, it turns out that there are such twists and turns!
It's just that Zhao Yue can't figure it out, when Emperor Heng didn't believe his words, he repented and kissed, His Majesty should resent Su Liruo in his heart, but why did he believe in her? Even the government and the opposition are entrusted with political affairs, and it is really incomprehensible to do the opposite, what is the deep meaning of Your Majesty?
Zhao Yue frowned and pondered.
Su Liruo looked at the portrait on the scroll and sighed softly: "Sir, do you know about the relationship back then?"
"Know a little bit!" Zhao Yue said.
"The past is like this, it is unbearable to look back, the love and hatred of the past have disappeared with the passing of people." Su Liruo gently put away the scroll and carefully tied the curly ribbon. Raising his eyes, he said helplessly: "It's just... Before His Majesty left, he finally avenged my father's love and revenge! ”
Zhao Yue's heart was shocked, and he seemed to think of something!
Sure enough, Su Liruo said slowly: "Your Majesty naturally knows that Liruo's ability is limited and the trust is not human, but he still makes a desperate bet and gambles on the last game." You can use Liruo's hand to get rid of King Luo and consolidate the throne of His Royal Highness the Prince. You can also repay the hatred of the love of the year, the hatred of the soldiers and the loss of the generals, Your Majesty is so calculating, so meticulous, it can be said that there is no leakage, and it is really clever! ”
Zhao Yue was stunned, his eyes glanced worriedly at the back of the masked black-clothed man who was driving the carriage in front of him through the gap in the curtain of the carriage, and his heart was faintly uneasy. If Su Li analyzed it thoroughly, Emperor Zhen really calculated her, and he also calculated that she couldn't bear to leave Li Moxiao alone in danger, and he would definitely do his best to help. It's just that Zhao Yue felt really unbearable when he was trapped in the dire state of government and intrigue for power. What's more, Naraku repeatedly warned him that he couldn't drag Su Liruo into the water no matter what! But now it seems that she has nowhere to avoid this wave of dangerous doom!
"Li Ruo has some doubts in her heart, I wonder if Mr. can answer them?" Su Liruo remembered Emperor Zhen's sudden exhaustion of suspicions, and frowned and asked.
Zhao Yue seemed to know what she was asking, nodded and said, "Miss Su, please say, the old man will definitely know everything."
"I have never heard of any discomfort in His Majesty's body, how can it be so serious all of a sudden?" Su Liruo said the mystery in her heart.
Zhao Yue smiled bitterly and sighed: "Miss Su doesn't know, when Your Majesty was young, she was brave and good at fighting, charging into battle, experiencing hundreds of battles, although she was competent among the princes, in fact, her body had already been damaged, but she just survived by relying on her youth. In the past few years, there have been many internal and external troubles and crises in the great day, and the pain that fell earlier has become more and more serious, and His Majesty's health has deteriorated day by day. In order to calm the government and the opposition in the daylight, His Majesty had to take Yundan Pill to maintain his physical condition, but he did not know that Yundan Pill was strong but fatal. If you take it for a long time, it will inevitably attack the heart with toxins, and the internal organs will be damaged and exhausted. His Majesty is stubborn and risk-taking, hoping to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince worthy of the great responsibility of ruling the government and the opposition in his lifetime. It's a pity that the crown prince doesn't understand His Majesty's good intentions, acts recklessly, is arrogant and uninhibited, criticizes the government and the opposition, and falls into the trap. King Luo is ambitious, co-opting factions, camping the party for personal gain, His Majesty is secretly exhausted, anxious and attacking. In the past few days, he has been bedridden, the Yundan Pill has not worked, and his dilapidated body has finally collapsed..."
Su Liruo's heart tugged, remembering that his father was tired of the mortal dust because of the death of his mother, and he had to barely survive for the sake of the two sisters. And in order to strengthen Li Moxiao's strength, Emperor Zhen would rather test the poison himself, just to support his son with a strong backing. She trembled slightly and asked, "Does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince know?"
"Only the old man and Jiang Gonggong know about this matter, and there is no third person yet." Zhao Yue's face was solemn, and he was secretly worried in his heart: I don't know how the prince should deal with the dangerous situation when he arrives in the palace, the aggressive persecution of King Luo, and the persecution of His Majesty?
"Your Majesty is afraid that you won't be able to survive tonight!" Su Liruo knows the pain of the heart, the pain of tearing. "After tonight, the most painful person is none other than His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"Sooner or later, it's time to take it all the time." Zhao Yue muttered in a low voice: "When will you stay if you are not ruthless at this time?"
Su Liruo pondered and lowered her eyes, her heartstrings were tense, and she didn't know what the palace would be like tomorrow? I'm afraid that her life in the Splendid Garden will also be unpeaceful.
In a trance, the carriage slowly stopped, Su Liruo got up and walked out of the car with both hands holding the scroll, and Zhao Yue's heavy voice came from behind him: "Miss Su has worked hard!"
Su Liruo's footsteps paused slightly, and the curtain had been lifted by the masked man in black, reaching out to support her. Su Liruo hesitated, then pulled out a hand that was holding the scroll tightly and put it on his palm, and got out of the car lightly.
The masked man bowed his head at her, let go of his hand, turned to the front of the carriage, jumped into the carriage, and whipped away.
Su Liruo looked at the carriage in a daze, and there were doubts in her mind: Who is this person? The gentleman said that he was from his house, but why was this man's eyes sharp and dissatisfied with him? And why didn't he dare to show his true face? And why did she feel a hint of familiarity inexplicably? But you can't remember who it is?
It wasn't until Xiaoyue and Jiu'er came out to greet Su Liruo that she came back to her senses, and when she arrived in the room, it was already time to wait for the change of clothes. She stepped back from Xiaoyue and the others, and rested in bed tiredly, but she frowned and couldn't sleep.
The night, so heavy in darkness and unsettling in silence, is the weirdness that preceded the storm.
Su Liruo finally fell asleep in a daze, but between half dreaming and half waking up, she felt that the elegant moon white was entangled in front of her eyes, like a dream, ethereal and empty, and it stood by her bed so really. She tried desperately to see his face, and he always left her with a dashing back, far and near. She wanted to call the name she hadn't seen for a long time, only to find that she was speechless and couldn't make a sound.
Su Li woke up suddenly, propped herself up in a panic, rolled up the veil, and glanced blankly, she didn't know what she was looking for? But there was not the slightest trace of the empty room, and in her heart of disappointment, she collapsed on the bed, staring at the top of the curtain with empty eyes. For a long time, she felt the corners of her eyes sour, and two lines of coldness spread out, sliding down her cheeks to her ears. She slowly closed her eyes, and her moist eyelashes couldn't help but tremble slightly, revealing that she was vulnerable at this moment.
How many times, he was always caught off guard and broke into her dreams, even if she stubbornly built a fortress of indifference, he still easily destroyed her strength, slammed her fortress, and occupied her heart.
But tonight, such a real and ethereal feeling made her feel lost, because of the inexplicable familiarity with the masked man? Make her fall asleep in love with the warmth he once gave? Or is it because there is nowhere to escape from the deep thoughts, wanting to break out of the cocoon and pour out and drown her body and mind?
Her weak voice whispered from the bottom of her heart: Feng Xuanyu, let me go! If we have never met in the vast red dust, and we have never known each other in the world, then we will live in peace with each other and have no worries about each other. Since the end of the world is on the side, then, please give me peace for the rest of my life! Don't play anymore, and be entangled in pain outside dreams. Let me completely forget the warmth of the palm of the Duyan Lake, the concentric knot of the Hanfeng Tower, the secret admiration of the secluded bamboo forest, the search for thousands of mountains and rivers, and the upheaval and displacement after suffering...
But the weak murmur was soon drowned out by the tide of longing, and a pang of pain swelled in her heart, tearing at her guts. Thinking of the moment when Jiang Xueke fought for her life, he hugged her back and left resolutely, she bent down, tiredly burrowed into the futon, and covered her tearful face.
She gritted her teeth, thinking that she could get through, but she was wrong, whenever she was weak, when faced with difficulties, she couldn't help but entangle the elegant back of the moon. But she couldn't see his handsome face clearly, could it be that her heart had blurred his face?
Let her turn a thousand times, melancholy and panic, the night will eventually fade, the lights will eventually go out, the edge will dawn, and the sky will finally be bright.
Su Liruo got up in a daze, her slightly swollen eyes and haggard face startled Xiaoyue and Jiu'er, but she didn't dare to ask in detail, so she had to say: "In early summer, the days are hot and the nights are slightly cool, so don't take the girl lightly, so as not to get sick and suffer!"
Su Liruo reluctantly smiled faintly, did not speak, and after dressing up, he walked to the pavilion in the back garden to sit quietly.
Su Liruo sat for a whole day, and in the evening, the sun was setting, and the sunset was red for half the sky, she raised her eyes to look up at the sky, and said softly: "Tomorrow is another sunny day, the weather in the north is really not suitable for me, the winter is cold, ice and snow." It's still just early summer, and it's so hot, and in the middle of summer, how hot it will be? After that, he muttered again: "The four seasons in the south are moderate, the winter and spring are slightly cold, the summer and autumn are slightly hot, the rainy season is like a bath, and the warm wind reflects the scenery, but it's a pity... It's a foreign country after all! ”
Xiao Yue and Jiu'er, who were waiting on the left and right, looked at each other and asked curiously, "Where is the southern border that the girl is talking about?" Isn't it a fairyland on earth? ”
Su Liruo suddenly smiled and said, "It should be a fairyland on earth, but it is far away in the world." As she spoke, she got up and walked to the edge of the pavilion, staring at the flowers in the garden, gradually blurring her vision: what kind of place is that? She once looked for a place to the end of the world for a palm to warm the moon, but she missed it in a hurry and was far away.
What kind of place is Wolgeup Villa in the capital? She has been there but she has never stayed. Later, she thought that the place where he was was a fairyland on earth, until he promised ten miles of red makeup, a prosperous city, holding the hand of his son, and growing old with his son. Since then, she has had a dream, a dream full of hope and yearning for a beautiful one, but unfortunately, the dream is very short, and she wakes up as soon as she turns around.
"The girl has been?" The two of them asked with a wink, perhaps attracted by Su Liruo's whispered words, and felt that it should be the place where she was nostalgic and expected.
"Passing by... Never stopped... Before Su Li could finish speaking, a rush of footsteps came, and she looked back, and a servant insisted on the letterhead, saying that Mr. Zhao sent it. Xiao Yue took the letterhead and presented it to Su Liruo, she opened it and looked at it, her face was extremely heavy. The letter was written by Zhao Yue, and he naturally knew that Su Li was in a hurry, so he would roughly explain the situation in the palace. Zhao Yue said that shortly after her departure, Emperor Zhen died, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was grief-stricken, the courtiers were in chaos, and King Luo took control of the palace.
Su Liruo sighed lightly and left the pavilion to go back to the room.
The next day, she sat in the pavilion until the evening, when the letterhead was still delivered, and this time she read the letter, her face became more solemn, and her brow was furrowed. The letter said that the ministers of the DPRK and China were at loggerheads, and most of them were supporters of King Luo, and the voices of those who supported King Luo's administration were quite high. His Royal Highness the Prince's biological mother, Empress Xian, is the daughter of General An Rong, and some old ministers who have a relationship with General An Rong insist that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ascend the throne. Although the prince is young and frivolous, he only needs some training to achieve the demeanor of a strong man, and His Majesty has a lineage, how can he be reluctant to seek the near and far? The supporters on both sides expressed their own opinions and were comparable, but the trend was that Luo Wang was a step ahead.
Su Liruo turned around and went back to the room again, and came to the pavilion to wait on the third day.
When the letterhead was delivered, Su Liruo got up, took the letter directly from the servant's hand, and opened the letterhead with a slight trembling hand: Now there is chaos in the palace, the situation is critical, and a civil war turmoil may be inevitable. King Luo is bound to win, aggressive, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can only parry, and has no power to fight back...
Su Liruo tightened the letterhead, crumpled it into a ball and held it in the palm of his hand, and after a while, he instructed Xiao Yue to present pen and ink, and immediately waved a pen on the stone table in the pavilion and asked the servant to send it to King Luo's mansion.
Looking at the back of the messenger, Su Liruo let out a long breath, what should come is always unavoidable, and suddenly, a concise and concise fluttering voice appeared in his mind: Waiting for the garden, please tell me!
