is also from the Central Plains, and the kindness of "meeting old acquaintances in other places" released by Li Yan did not make him suspicious at all; And the news brought back by the spies sent to Jinling to investigate the news also made Song Huan Chu quite satisfied with him, and it made the pride in his bones greatly satisfied.

Even Tang Xiao himself never expected that such a complicated message could be dug up from the three words "Chu Haoze" provided by Song Huan Chu: Chu Xun, the word Haoze, is the eldest son of the Chu family in Jinling.

The appearance of this Chu Xun son is indeed somewhat similar to Song Huan Chu. And what is even more coincidental is that Chu Su, the son-in-law of the Chu family, is the husband chosen by Wang Xi for Wang Tianyi, the sixth lady of the Wang family. It's just that not long after this family affair was settled, the Wang family dissolved the marriage contract with the Chu family on the grounds that Chu was misbehaving.

Because he didn't want this matter to have an impact on Wang Tianyi, this matter was handled very secretly, and only the Wang family and the Chu family knew about it. Hearing this, Tang Xiao took a lot of effort. In connection with what Song Huan Chu described, Lin Ruo's hatred for "Chu Haoze", and Lin Ruo's serious illness three years ago, and never went to Jinling to go to the Wang family in person since then, Tang Xiao naturally matched this Chu Hao with Chu Haoze.

So much so that they tracked the whereabouts of Lin Ruo and Murong Chong on this trip to Danzhou, and claimed to be from the Chu family in Jinling, and the "Chu Haoze" of Song Huan Chu Qiaozhuang was even more Qiaozhuang became the son of the Chu family who had a marriage contract with the sixth lady of the Wang family in Jinling.

Danzhou and Jinling are far apart, even if Li Yan has the ability, he may not be able to find out all the discord between the Wang family and the Chu family in such a short period of time.

Li Yan simply said that Song Huan, Chu Qiao, Zhuang Cheng, Chu Haoze, and claimed that he had a marriage contract with Miss Liu of the Wang family, but he didn't say too much detail. Lin Ruo remembered that Wang Xi had mentioned to her that he helped "Wang Qianyi" set up a marriage, surnamed Chu, and then found a reason to cancel this family affair.

Lin Ruo didn't pay much attention to it at the time, but he didn't expect such a coincidence in the world!

Unintentionally planted willows and willows.

This Chu Haoze, who came out of nowhere, inexplicably connected all the fragmented clues.

Regarding the identity of "Gu Mengyao", Li Yan knows most of it, which is enough. Lin Ruo didn't want to reveal it to others again, lest he be seen as ominous and add unnecessary trouble. As for the matter about Chu Haoze, he was ready to rot in his stomach, and he didn't want to mention it to anyone.

But Song Huan Chu's toss made her have to pay attention to it, and she wanted to think of a foolproof solution and solve it properly. Although she had confessed to Murong Chong, there was a person in her heart. But deep down, she didn't want Murong Chong to know about the relationship between Song Huan Chu and Chu Haoze.

Fortunately, on the way back, Murong Chong was worried about something, seeing that Lin Ruo was silent and serious, just thinking about how to deal with the next thing, she didn't notice anything unusual.

Until he returned to Ji Mansion, Murong Chong was still haunted by Li Yan's surprise attack and the red mark left on his hand: he obviously looked like a weak scholar who was powerless, but he didn't want to have extraordinary skills, and there was a tacit understanding and spirit between him and Lin Ruo that were different from ordinary people, which made Murong Chong's heart irritable for no reason.

It was late at night, the cold wind was howling outside the room, and the blazing brazier was smoking the air in the room warm. But it was this warm heat wave that made Murong Chong's heart even more irritable, making him toss and turn on the couch and couldn't sleep.

Murong Chong simply sat up from the bed, put on his coat haphazardly, took off the big coat, walked out of the warm room, and wandered aimlessly in the long corridor where the night breeze was howling, trying to suppress the irritability in his heart.

Inadvertently, I found that I involuntarily walked to Lin Ruo's room.

In Lin Ruo's room, the lights were not extinguished.

The light of the candle flame danced and projected a slender figure on the window lattice.

Murong Chong's heart moved, his body made a decision before his mind, and stepped forward to buckle the door: "Yi'er." ”

The occupants of the room seemed to be frightened, and there was a dull sound, followed by a cry of pain.

"Boom! Whoa......"

"Ah——! Hiss ......"

Murong Chong's heart jumped, and he hurriedly pushed open the door and broke into the room, only to see Lin Ruozheng covering his elbows, wrinkling his little face in pain, obviously bumping into it.

Worried in his heart, Murong Chong stepped forward quickly, wanting to see Lin Ruo's situation. As he walked quickly, the wind brought up by the big man blew a thin portrait on the corner of the table to the ground.

Murong Chong didn't notice it for a while, and gently helped Lin Ruo rub her elbows, but seeing that her face stretched slightly, he helped her pick up the notes and scrolls that had been knocked to the ground one by one, and his eyes finally stayed on the thin portrait.

The thin paper was held in his hand, and the portrait on it was no stranger to Murong Chong, it was the appearance of Song Huan Chu, Prince of Zhan, but the two words at the place of payment made him feel hard with his fingertips - Hao Ze.

Haoze, Haoze......

When Lin Ruo was unconscious, he unconsciously exhaled his name.

The portrait is a little yellowed, and it looks like it is a little old, but the brushstrokes and slightly heroic handwriting of the portrait are clearly from Lin Ruo's hand!

Murong Chong couldn't help but clench his fingers, and the paper that had been as thin as a cicada's wings after a long time of wind and frost had a slight crack.

Lin Ruo recovered from the pain and caught a glimpse of the paper that Murong Chong was holding in his hand, and he was stunned in place, a trace of panic flashed in his eyes.

Yes, panic.

This was the first time Murong Chong had seen Lin Ruo show such an expression.

Lin Ruo, who has always been strategizing and controlling everything, actually showed such an expression on his face.

Thinking of Lin Ruo's pressing on Song Huanchu step by step, and thinking of her deliberate difficulty for Song Huanchu, Murong Chong's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

If Lin Ruo's actions against the Gu family and Gu Manni are excusable, then her targeting of Song Huan Chu can be said to be groundless, even if Song Huan Chu proposed to Emperor Mingzong that he would marry Gu Manni as the princess of Zhan, represent Western Shu, and marry Qin and Jin with Donglu.

Lin Ruo and Song Huan Chu are of the same age, and with this portrait as a basis, it is difficult for Murong Chong not to make this conjecture.

Be honest with each other? Won't cheat?

Thinking of the promise Lin Ruo had sworn to, his face turned black into the bottom of the pot, and an irrepressible ignorant karmic fire surged from his heart.

"Don't go ......"

Seeing that Murong Chong was about to brush his sleeves away, Lin Ruo ignored the pain in his elbow and subconsciously grabbed Murong Chong's big.

The face that was pale from pain fell into his eyes, and those misty eyes made Murong Chong involuntarily stop. A helpless sigh, the anger in his heart was replaced by a trace of pain.

The pinched and wrinkled portrait was put aside, and Murong Chong carefully supported Lin Ruo's injured elbow, helped her to sit down on the soft collapse, half-squatted beside her, and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, I'm not leaving." ”

Lin Ruo was in a trance for a while, and the memories of her previous life slowly coincided with the scene at this moment: that day, she had a quarrel with Chu Haoze, and the word "break up" was almost drawn out of her mouth, and her tears couldn't stop flowing from her eyes, and she was the same, pulling the corner of Chu Haoze's clothes, and sobbing and saying to him "Don't go".

Then, Chu Haoze stayed, hugged her into his arms, patted her back gently, and comforted her softly: "Don't cry, I won't leave." ”
