The Great Feast (11)

Gong Changjue held the handkerchief tightly, and Chu Ranxuan just looked at her.

The two were in a stalemate, the night breeze was bitingly cold, and Gong Changjue couldn't help but shiver slightly.

She tightened her clothes,

"Shizi, in this world, there are many people who like you."

She only felt bitter at the corners of her lips.

"You went into battle at the age of fourteen to kill the Huns, sixteen-year-old boy champion, seventeen-year-old apprentice Ren Xuanji, famous all over the world, eighteen-year-old single-handedly wiped out the entry of Xiqing fine work, Manhuajing has no more elegant and peerless people than you, peers admire you, women are happy with you, you walk through the long street, there will be countless women to throw embroidered handkerchiefs at you."

As soon as the three words of the embroidered handkerchief came out, Gong Changjue suddenly felt stuffy in his chest,

"But Shizi, I am the one who will stay away when I see you on the street, let alone throw an embroidered handkerchief at you like the woman next to me, and throw a whole heart for you."

Her hands were covered by her sleeves, and the piece of Qinglian handkerchief was held in her hands, and she was completely wrinkled.

And her fingertips were completely cold.

And in response to her, it was a cloak that suddenly covered her.

Palace Chief Jue tilted his head slightly, and saw Chu Ranyu's sparkling eyes, which were as gentle as water.

It was completely different from her restlessness, but it made her more weak and flustered.

Gong Changjue held the placket of his clothes and wanted to take off Chu Ranyu's coat.

But I heard a low male voice in my ear,

"Not really."

There was a slight anger in his tone, not half a joke.

"Dress me up."

A wall burned through the attic, and the palace chief and Chu Ranxin were sitting in the place where the wall was originally located, with the lake rippling below, and facing the rockery, the palace people on the other side of the corridor couldn't see the side of the palace chief and Chu Ranxin at all.

Gong Changjue's hand paused on his clothes for a long time, and he didn't take off Chu Ranyu's coat after all.

Gong Changjue quietly moved some distance from Chu Ranxing, and secretly looked up to the side, but saw Chu Ranxuan leaning against the remnant wall, looking at her quietly, with a little helplessness and a smile in his eyes.

Gong Changjue turned his head, but he didn't see it.

Chu Ranxin tilted his head slightly, looking at her, the light in his eyes was enough to make the stars fall in the sky.

Gong Changjue didn't even know if he was nervous or because of the cold wind, and he had been trembling slightly.

The moonlight is hazy, the surroundings are extremely quiet, and the breeze is also very confusing.

Chu Ranxuan said lightly,

"I went into battle at the age of fourteen to kill the enemy, at the age of sixteen I took the imperial examination, at the age of seventeen I inherited the Xuanji, and at the age of eighteen I killed the meticulous work alone, but how can you know so clearly that you keep saying that you will only avoid me when you see me?"

The lake leads to the outer river, flowing slowly to the east, the river wind blowing his robe, and in the dark night, his silhouette carries a tenderness and lingering that is enough to make the hearts of countless people pound.

But her heart beat so hard that she couldn't speak,

"The Son... Famous in Chang'an, how could I not know. ”

His hand propped up on the floor, leaning in her direction, only a few inches away from her, and his hand almost touched the corner of the Qinglian white handkerchief she had hidden under her sleeve.

Chu Ranxuan said softly,

"Gong Changjue, why do you always lie."

Gong Changjue's heart was beating extremely fast, but he didn't dare to look up at him.

After a while, Chu Ranyu suddenly chuckled twice and removed his hand.

He leaned back against the ruined wall,

"You lied to me, but I don't want to lie to you."

He seemed to say to himself,

"When I was fourteen years old, my whole family was destroyed."

He spoke blandly about the shocking past.

"At that time, I was unaccompanied, and I was helped escape by a person."

Gong Changjue couldn't help but turn his head slightly.

His face was indifferent,

"When I was sixteen years old, I took the imperial examination, originally for revenge, I wanted to enter the court, and I turned the court upside down like today's Guan Wuwu, not what everyone said, it was Emperor Yuan's secret edict that ordered me to take the imperial examination, in order to inspire the world's scholars."

He chuckled twice suddenly, but it was very worrying,

"I was the champion in the exam, but how could Emperor Yuan let the power of the Dingwang clan grow again, he did have a secret edict, but he said in the secret edict, saying a lot of high-sounding reasons, the purpose is not to allow me to be named an official, and he is quite concerned and pity me between words, I just think that I don't know who killed my clan."

Gong Changjue's eyes fell on him.

Chu Ranxuan said lightly,

"I only hate that I can't lose all my face like Guan Wuforget, he can kneel down in front of the enemy who killed his father and sell miserably, he can use his sleeves to shine the shoes of the enemy who killed his father, he can let go of all his dignity, pretend to be stupid, and be a dog that kills his father's enemy, but I can't do it, I can't do it to wagging his tail and begging for mercy like a dog to my enemy, so Guan Wuwang successfully blended into the court, but I didn't."

Gong Changjue listened to Chu Ranxuan's bland words, but there were waves in his heart, and there was an indescribable faint sting.

Chu Ran said,

"Seventeen years old, at that time, suddenly felt that there was no point in living, the corpses of the clansmen were all over the ground, and the picture of blood all over the ground echoed in my mind over and over again for three years, and I was so incompetent, I couldn't even enter the court, I couldn't avenge them, I couldn't sleep every night, and even cried in the middle of the night, when I thought about it, my head hurt like it exploded, and my limbs hurt, I knew that something was wrong with my body, and even knew who poisoned me, but I didn't want to pursue it anymore, I was bent on death."

Gong Changjue looked at Chu Ranxuan, the unbearability and distress in her eyes could hardly be concealed,

Chu Ranxuan said lightly,

"At that time, Ren Xuanji suddenly appeared, saying that he wanted to take me as a disciple and detoxify me, and the antidote he said was to meditate on the ice stone jade in the ice room, and sit for seven days and seven nights."

"Every minute and every second of the poison is like a thousand arrows piercing the heart, and it hurts."

The breeze swept through Gong Changjue's face, blowing her sideburns and broken hair.

Listening to his straightforward speech without emotion, her face was already completely pale.

Chu Ran said,

"At that time, Master told me to think about the person I cared about the most in this world, and I got through it all."

Chu Ranxuan's eyes fell on the scattered broken hair of the palace chief, and he reached out to hold her behind her ear, she was slightly stunned and hurriedly retreated.

Chu Ranxin smiled, she didn't care, but her eyes were extremely gentle, it was a gentleness she had never seen before, meandering and flowing in people's hearts, but it was distressing in an instant.

He looked at her,

"At that time I was overturned, and I was alone, and I thought that there was only one person left in this world that I cared about."

Gong Changjue said slowly,

"The person who can be thought of by you must be very happy."

Chu Ranyu lowered her eyes slightly and laughed,

"For seven days and seven nights, I wanted to die countless times."

He looked up at her, staring into her eyes,

"But when I think of her, I always feel that I can hold on a little longer, and I can hold on a little longer. Because of her, I survived seven days and seven nights, and survived the most difficult days. escaped from the ghost gate, and among all those who sank, she was the only one, she was the battle flag before I put on my armor and went into battle. ”

The palace chief was slightly shocked in his eyes, and asked tentatively,

"That man... How are you doing now? ”

Chu Ranxin looked at her and said,

"She's having a very bad time, she seems to carry a lot of secrets, she's changed a lot, she's become more and more cautious, she's becoming more and more lonely, but she doesn't want to say a word."

Gong Changjue suddenly had a panic that his heart was seen through, but he reacted after a while, Chu Ranxuan was not talking about her, it was another person.

The palace chief said,

"Life is always impermanent."

Everyone's fate is like a river, a round river, flowing desperately, but forever can only be surrounded and bound in that circle, like the wheel of life, tightly leashing a person, and the shackles have weighed tens of millions of catties. No matter how you escape, you can't escape.

Chu Ranxuan smiled,

"Gong Changjue, don't you have anything to ask me?"

A breeze blew, blowing the coat off her shoulders slightly.

She subconsciously held on, saw the whiteness, and suddenly realized that this was not her clothes.

She did have a question that she had always wanted to ask.

The palace chief said tentatively,

"Why does the prince always wear white?"

Chu Ranyu looked at the lake lightly,

"Wear linen and wear filial piety."

"Three years for my mother, three years for my father, for my people, and another three years."

The palace chief said,

"Will the prince have to wear white clothes for another three years?"

Chu Ranxuan said lightly,

"Two years to go."

"My mother died of a serious illness when I was thirteen years old, and she didn't even live to the point of extinction."

Chu Ranyu's face was calm, from beginning to end, what he said, enough to cut the pain of his heart and bones, was said by him plainly.

The palace chief was stunned.

Chu Ranyu was still calm, she didn't know how much she had to go through to be calm when she talked about these things, and her face didn't change.

Chu Ranxin looked at the lake and said,

"Do you know what the word Ran Yu means?"

Gong Changjue clenched the veil, and the patterns on the veil skimmed her fingertips a little bit.

"Flying grass."

Chu Ran smiled,

"The name was chosen by my mother, probably because I saw through that she couldn't stay with me for too long, and without my mother, I was like a fluffy grass that was blown up, and my heels were like duckweed, without roots and no traction. Unexpectedly, this flying fluffy grass not only lost its mother, but also had no relatives. ”

Gong Changjue only felt worried.

Chu Ran said,

"It was already a miracle that my mother was seriously ill and gave birth to me, and it was asserted that she would not live to be fourteen years old, and that she had been haunted by the sickbed since I was five years old, and that she had been sleeping all day long, almost a living dead. When I was thirteen years old, she still didn't hold on, and she never woke up again. ”

"The word Ran, I'm just afraid that I can't escape the evil fruit."

Gong Changjue looked at his calm face, but his heart couldn't calm down.

She never knew that after those glamorous and glamorous, it turned out that he was living such a painful life, from his years to his name, all of them were as painful as tearing out his heart and bones, and without exception.

Gong Changjue sat in the pavilion, her lower body hanging in the air, and below was the lake, and the wind blew the hem of her skirt, blooming like a flower. rippling like a lake.

There are some things, fate is destined after all, her name is long, since she was born, she has been facing separation, in her previous life, she also jumped off the cliff, and she has a long recipe with the world.

In this life, she keeps saying goodbye to everything in her previous life, and even herself is no longer what she was in her previous life.
