Although Li Wan was greedy for sleep, she had something in her heart this night, and she didn't dare to fall asleep after tossing and turning. Listening to Shen Zhuzhu's snort beside her, she was already asleep, and there were guards everywhere in the palace, even if she wanted to leave, it was impossible, Fang slowly put down her desire to sleep peacefully, and suddenly saw a figure outside the curtain flickering, she had a bit of martial arts foundation, her eyes were sharp, and seeing that this figure was not like a palace maid, she immediately opened the curtain and shouted: "Who!" ”

"It's me, Moyan Sip."

The person who came stepped forward, only a stone's throw away from her.

Li Wan was shocked, and when she looked up, the moonlight outside the window was faint, and she could still roughly see the face of the person who came: heroic and imposing, it was the Hui Khan who had saved her life. This is even more shocking - shouldn't this Mo Yansi be in the Hui Dynasty to quell the rebellion, why did he arrive in Luoyang in the blink of an eye?

At the same moment, Mo Yansi also saw Li Wan's appearance clearly, and couldn't help but be stunned: "You are not Shen Zhu?" The arm stretched out, pinched Li Wan's wrist fiercely, and the light in the night was as sharp as an eagle, and he shouted in a deep voice: "Where is Princess Guangping?" ”

Li Wan's wrist hurt sharply, and she screamed in a low voice.

"Let her go!" Shen Pearl whispered behind him. At the same time, as soon as Li Wan's wrist was loosened, Mo Yan had let go, she took a big breath and looked back, I don't know when Shen Pearl had sat up from the bed.

"Visiting the Inner Palace late at night, what happened to the Khan?" Shen Pearl raised her eyes lightly, and her tone was calm.

Mo Yan didn't answer immediately, he squinted slightly, as if he wanted to take a closer look at Shen Zhuzhu's appearance by the moonlight, and after a long time, he finally spoke, although his voice was low, but it was calm and powerful: "I arrived in Luoyang for more than two months, looking for the former Princess Guangping and today's Princess Chu, just to ask her for a promise." ”

Shen Pearl was stunned, couldn't think of it for a while, and said in amazement: "What promise?" ”

Mo Yan waved his hand like electricity and pointed at Li Wan: "Do you remember what you said back then, when you begged me to save this Princess Hening from An Qingxu's hands?" ”

In an instant, the past flashed like lightning.

That year, outside Chang'an City, in the carriage, she once said to him: "...... As long as you rescue Lord Dening, you can ask me anything. ”

He successfully rescued Li Wan, and by the campfire, he was reluctant to mention this promise, and she stubbornly said, "I will remember." ”

In fact, she had all but forgotten that promise.

Today, however, he brings it up again, and she must keep her promises.

She smiled and asked, "How does the Khan want the pearl to fulfill his promise?" ”

Mo Yan smiled heartily: "Okay! I know that Shen Pearl keeps her promise and will never break her word. Listen up - I want you to leave the palace with me tonight, and leave the King of Chu! ”

Li Wan was shocked, jumped out of bed, and sobbed directly at Mo Yan: "You are delusional! He turned around and grabbed Shen Zhuzhu's hand: "Sister-in-law, don't be threatened by him, he saved me at the beginning, but it's a big deal that I will give him my life, and I can't go with him!" ”

Mo Yansi didn't seem to see Li Wan, stared at Shen Zhuzhu, and continued: "My words are not finished yet: I just want you to leave the palace and the King of Chu with me tonight, and I didn't say that you must follow me in the future. As long as you leave the palace and the king of Chu, the sky will be wide from now on, you can go wherever you want, and Mo Yan will never stop and interfere with half a step! Taking a step forward, his eyes were as deep as the sea, and he said to Shen Zhu: "You promised me." I only hope that you can give it up, and I only hope that my actions today are not difficult for strong people. ”

Shen Pearl was touched, looked at the person in front of him, and at this time, he fully realized his deep affection. Although he has no choice but to live up to it in this life, this time his mind may also be in line with her wishes.

She lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment, and finally looked up and smiled: "Okay." Wait a moment, I'll put on my robe and go with you. ”

Mo Yan nodded happily, only to feel that there was a moment to communicate with her, and there were no regrets, so he stood with his back and waited.

Li Wan was panicked, seeing that Shen Pearl got out of bed and picked up the lamp and dressed without hurry, she was about to leave. She was so anxious that she didn't dare to call the palace maid guards loudly, so she only resisted Shen Pearl and persuaded: "Sister-in-law, don't be vague for a while, are you blaming the imperial brother for not coming to see you and greeting you for so long?" Do you know how sad and sad the royal brother is when you can't afford to be sick and vomit so much blood? Do you know that the imperial brother has not left Luoyang for three months, and he is afraid that you will be more sad and angry after seeing him, so he deliberately avoids you, and only quietly looks at you a few times every day after you are asleep. With such good intentions, no matter how many mistakes he makes, can't you forgive him? ”

When she said this, Shen Pearl was sitting in front of the dressing table and inserted the last hairpin into her hair, this hairpin seemed to be very sharp, her fingers hurt slightly, and she thought it was a slight prick on her fingertips. She closed her eyes fiercely, opened them again, turned her head and smiled at Li Wan, "I know what you said." In Li Wan's astonishment, she took out a letterhead from under the pillow and handed it to Li Wan: "I have already written the letter I left for you, please give it to him." ”

He walked up to Mo Yan and said, "Let's go, with your ability, shouldn't you alarm the guards?" ”

Mo Yan smirked: "That's nature. ”

Li Wan twisted Shen Pearl's sleeve and almost cried: "Sister-in-law, you can't go, I won't allow you to go!" ”

Mo Yan sipped and said, "If the princess wants to do this again, don't blame Ben Khan for being polite." ”

Shen Pearl sighed, grabbed Li Wan's hand pulling her sleeve, and said, "Girl, I'm really leaving, remember what I said to you today." ”

Li Wan sobbed silently, and the hand pulling Shen Pearl's sleeve finally gradually loosened, Shen Pearl suddenly hugged Li Wan's body, and said to Mo Yan: "Go." ”

"Boom! - "The door of the inner chamber was kicked open with a loud bang.

At this time, the bleak wind was howling, and the candle flame in the room was getting lower and lower, and it was dark inside and out, and only a black shadow could be seen standing at the door. Suddenly, the flames flickered, and through the jumping yellow light, Li Jiao's face was reflected, and the iron was hideous, and his eyes seemed to be lit with a fierce fire, hissing to devour everything, and the anger and majesty had reached the extreme.

Li Wan knew that something was wrong, she had never seen her imperial brother like this, and at the same time she was stunned, she called out: "Imperial brother-" Seeing that the door of the room behind Li Jiao was open, she hurriedly stepped forward to cover the door of the room, and looked back and said: "The imperial brother has something to say......

Before the words fell, he saw Li Jiao take two steps forward, and he couldn't see how to make a move, when he heard a crisp sound of "pop", Shen Pearl stumbled, and he was slapped to the ground.

"Li Jiao, you bastard! How dare you hit her! Mo Yan sobbed angrily, picked up Shen Zhu, and saw that a wisp of blood had flowed from the corner of her mouth, and this palm was really slapped.

"It doesn't matter," Shen Pearl supported Mo Yan and slurped his arm, slowly standing up, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth.

Li Li laughed angrily: "Since she is my wife, why should I beat her, she does not abide by the woman's way and elopes with someone, even if I want her to die, it is not an exaggeration!" As he spoke, he raised his hand and untied the sword at his waist, threw it in front of Shen Pearl with a "bang", and sneered: "If you want to go with him, I'd rather you die in front of me now!" Decide it yourself. ”

"It's not like that! Brother Huang, you misunderstood! -" Li Wan shouted, bending over to grab the sword.

The silver light flickered, and Shen Pearl had already lifted the sword.

Shen Pearl's heart fluttered slightly.

She lifted the tip of her sword in one hand and held it squarely in front of her, as if carefully examining the sharpness of the blade.

Everything is providential.

At such a moment, he just came.

A feast in life, she and him, with this splendid rivers and mountains, and this Lang Lang Sheji, once coincided with his meeting.

And God finally had to arrange it like this, asking her to leave the stage in this form.

She has never believed in the destiny of heaven, and this time, she is willing to entrust.

She raised her eyes.

Time seems to stand still all of a sudden.

Li Wan's anxiety was beyond words, and she was still holding the letter left with Li Jiao in her hand.

Li Li was furious, she had never seen him so angry, the anger of the Son of Heaven was nothing more than that. And under this mask of anger, has there been a trace of pain and remorse?

Only Mo Yan sip is the calmest, and with a wave of his hand, he can kill a person in the palm of his hand; It's just as easy to stop her from dying.

Shen Pearl smiled, as soon as she let go of her hands, there was a crisp "clang" sound, and the sword had been thrown to the ground by her.

Unexpectedly, the three people present were stunned at the same time.

Shen Pearl stretched out his hand casually, pulled out the letterhead from Li Wan's hand, put his hands together, and tore the letterhead to shreds with three strokes and five divisions.

Li Wan came back to her senses: "Sister-in-law, believe!" ——”

At the right time, a gust of wind blew away the debris and scattered it all over the room.

Shen Pearl has already spoken: "Your Highness, I am the lady of Zhenguo, and I live with you, and I can't be assigned life and death by you." ”

She can't die.

It has been difficult for eternity to die only, but after the catastrophe, she has no thoughts of life and death, and at this time she can only choose to live.

She would rather let him hate than make him regret.

Li Li took a deep breath, and a kind of pain slowly rose from his heart, liver and intestines. Little by little, it deepened, and became more and more uncontrollable, rising into the brain, and turning into a boiling rage. He gritted his teeth, but could only squeeze out four words from between his teeth: "Very good, very good." ”

"Hahaha," Mo Yan sipped up to the sky and smiled, full of approval: "Okay, this is Shen Pearl!" After finishing speaking, he held Shen Zhuzhu's arm with his left hand and said loudly: "Let's go!" ”

"Wait!" Li Jiao's face was gloomy, and he untied the belt of his robe with his left hand and threw it to the side: "If the Khan wants to take away my people, he always needs to give an explanation to this king, why don't you and I fight for a hundred rounds until we die?" ”

Mo Yan stopped and nodded: "What His Highness said is reasonable, we should solve the problem in the way of men!" ”

Li Jiao lifted it on tiptoe, and the sword that had been thrown back into his hand: "So this king is not welcome." The words fell, and he flicked his long sword on the ground, and he slurped Mo Yan's left chest like lightning in the night sky.

Shen Pearl lost her voice and screamed "ah", she couldn't speak anymore, her heart was like numbness, with her martial arts of silently delaying her sipping, how could Li Jiao be an opponent?

Mo Yan pushed her away with a slurp, and pulled out the scimitar at his waist when he stepped back. His eyes were like torches, a knife pushed forward, and Li Jiao's long sword intersected, the light of the sword intersection stretched rapidly, the two figures staggered and flew by, more than ten moves had passed in the blink of an eye, and the sound of sword clashing was sometimes like a flowing bead splashing spring, sometimes like a raging wind.

Shen Pearl shouted in a short voice: "Mo Yan slurps!" ”

At this time, Mo Yan was lightly turning Li Jiao into a sword, and when he heard the sword momentum, he suffocated slightly, and smiled without looking back: "Don't worry!" ”

Shen Pearl heard the deep meaning in his words, and knew that he would not hurt Li Jiao, so he was a little relieved.

When Li Jiao heard the two of her asking and answering like this, his heart was even more furious, and his sword moves were even more fierce and murderous.

The fight in the inner room has already alarmed the palace people and guards outside. Maybe it was already explained, no one dared to rush into the room without authorization, the footsteps outside were chaotic, and there was a lot of noise, and finally heard Yan Ming shouting outside: "Your Highness, what's wrong?" ”

Li Jiao's face was cold, the moves in his hand were not chaotic, and he said in a dignified voice: "No one is allowed to come in without my orders!" Slightly distracted from speaking, Mo Yan stabbed with a scimitar, and a scar was cut on his arm.

Li Wan was so anxious that she exclaimed: "Don't fight, don't fight!" ”

Mo Yan sobbed and laughed: "There really is no need to fight anymore!" With the swing of the knife, Li Jiao retreated; He snorted, and secretly strengthened his arm, intending to break Li Jiao's long sword with a single sword, forcing him to surrender.

"The emperor has arrived! ——”

The door of the room was wide open, and the palace lights flickered like the day.

Su Zong and Zhang Shufei were dressed in simple clothes and stood side by side at the door of the room.

Li Jiao and Mo Yansi lowered their blades almost at the same time.

Su Zong was obviously a little exhausted, and raised his hand to point at Li Jiao: "You, you, what are you doing!" ”

Li Jiao returned the sword into the sheath, bowed down with a smile, and replied loudly: "The son is learning martial arts with Gele Khan, alarming his father, and the crime is unforgivable." ”

Concubine Zhang Shufei chuckled: "Yu'er is really funny, in the middle of the night, the third watch actually competed with the Khan in the inner room of the pearl to learn martial arts?" Turning his eyes to look at Shen Zhuzhu, he smiled with Su Zong: "The concubine said the outside rumors with Your Majesty the day before yesterday, and the concubine and Your Majesty both laughed at it, thinking that it was a false rumor. Gele Khan, you came to the residence of the princess of Chu in the middle of the night, no wonder the king of Chu wants to 'learn' martial arts with you! ”

Su Zong's expression sank: "Pearl, I have always had high hopes for you, I didn't expect you to do such a humiliating thing to the royal family!" There are thousands of people inside and outside the ban in this Luoyang Palace, where do you want my Li family's face to exist, and how do you want to stand in the world? ”

Li Jiao's face became more and more depressed, only to feel that his scalp was fried, and he unconsciously looked towards Shen Zhuzhu, and saw that her face was as cold as ice and snow, standing motionless in front of the emperor, thousands of thoughts were circling back and forth, and she couldn't hold it for a while.

"My father blamed my sister-in-law for it!" Li Wan suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

Su Zong frowned: "What's the matter with you, go back to your dormitory and sleep quickly." ”

"No, this matter has a lot to do with Erchen!" Li Wan kowtowed again, and said categorically.

Su Zong was greatly surprised, and Concubine Shu smiled and said: "What do you care about this matter with your unmarried daughter, listen to your father's words, and quickly avoid it." ”

Li Wan said: "Erchen is a capital crime. Gele Khan's night break into the forbidden palace is indeed a secret communication with others...... And the person who had a private meeting with him was not his sister-in-law, but me! ”

Shen Pearl fell into an ice cave, bent over and grabbed Li Wan's hand: "Wu'er, don't you-"

Li Wan shook off Shen Zhuzhu's hand vigorously, and the rest of her words were hurried and fast: "Sister-in-law has no need to cover up for me, since the Khan rescued me from An Qingxu's hands, I have secretly fallen in love with the Khan, and I am determined to make a personal promise." Today is my overnight stay in my sister-in-law's room, and Khan came here after looking for me, and my sister-in-law is innocent and flawless. This matter is up to the father. Looking back, he sipped to Mo Yan: "Even today I dare to admit it, you don't need to avoid taboos." ”

Mo Yan looked up to the sky, Huo Ran stroked his robe, and half-knelt in front of Su Zong: "Your Majesty, Mo Yan Si Su looks up to the majesty of the Heavenly Dynasty, and today I ask to marry Princess Hening to return to Ke Hedun for me, and I hope Your Majesty will be fulfilled!" ”

Su Zong was slightly stunned, but only hesitated for a moment, his face was already happy, and he said with a smile: "I see, but I have wronged Princess Chu." Good things, good things......" turned his head to Zhang Shufei and said: "What do you think about the concubine?" Concubine Zhang Shu hurriedly replied with a smile: "Yiguo IKEA, congratulations to Your Majesty on the concubine." ”

Su Zong stretched his sleeves, and the chamberlain held a pen on his side for record: "Proposed decree, Princess Hening will be crowned Princess Ningguo and married back to the Khan." ”

Li Wan fell to the ground and thanked her. Shen Pearl helped her up, and Li Wanqiang smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I didn't think that the oath I made when I lied to you back then actually came true today." It can be seen that it is not a good thing to deceive people, and if you owe a debt to God, you will have to pay it back in the end. ”

Su Zong was very happy, and said in a loud voice: "Tonight is enough trouble, and I am tired, so I will disperse." Girl, I blame Pearl today, you need to comfort her for me. Li Jiao's face was expressionless, and he should be.

"The minister has a matter of imploring His Majesty's permission!" Shen Pearl suddenly stepped forward and knelt down.

Su Zong stopped and said with a smile: "I owe you a favor, let's say it, if it doesn't matter, I'll approve it together." ”

Shen Pearl slowly kowtowed, and the smile on Su Zong's face decreased slightly, and only then did he notice that Shen Pearl called himself a "minister" instead of a "son", and the difference between one word was very different.

"Please separate from His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and ask Your Majesty for permission!"

At this moment, the heavens and the earth seemed to fall silent.

Fourteen words, one word and one sound, clear and persistent.

Everyone inside and outside the room can only hear their own heartbeat.

And Li Jiao, too, couldn't even hear his own heartbeat.

Su Zong restrained his smile, and he slowly turned his head to look into the distance outside the hall. Dominate the heights, the emperor at this time, what is he thinking? Do you remember that period of youthful feelings, or is it a married wife who is far away in the rivers and lakes outside the palace walls?

"Yu'er," there was weakness and pathos in his voice, "I didn't expect you and my father and son to have the same fate." He waved his sleeves and said, "Accurate!" ”

Without waiting for Shen Pearl to kowtow again to thank him, Su Zongtou did not reply to the order: "Wu'er, Khan, go with me!" Li Wan lowered her head and followed behind Concubine Shu, Mo Yan hesitated slightly, but saw Shen Zhuzhu, who was kneeling on the ground, raised her head and smiled at him, her heart was relieved, and she walked quickly behind Su Zong.

In an instant, only Li Jiao and Shen Pearl were left in the room. The two attendants entered the room, and when they saw that Shen Pearl was still kneeling, they were busy helping her left and right, but they didn't think to change their words, and asked in a low voice: "Is the princess okay?" ”

"Phew!" Li Jiao slammed the palm of his hand into a few cases, and shouted angrily: "What else are you calling the princess, she is no longer the princess of Chu!" ”

The palace maid was so frightened that she trembled all over, and she should have been.

Li Jiao sneered, his eyes were like sharp blades, and he pointed at Shen Pearl and said, "Since you are no longer a member of the royal family, how can you be qualified to stay in the palace anymore?" He shouted outward, "Someone! Yan Ming immediately responded with several guards.

Li Jiao said: "Expelle this woman from the palace!" ”

Yan Ming was shocked, and he agreed, but the person stood still in place, his eyes looked left and right, looking at Li Li's expression and Shen Zhu's expression.

Shen Pearl smiled and said to Yan Ming: "What His Royal Highness said is reasonable, I should have left the palace on my own, and I didn't dare to have His Royal Highness Lao and the general." His gaze slowly moved to Li Li.

Her eyes are like autumn water, no joy, no anger, no sorrow.

Bend over and bless: "Your Highness, take care." ”

Spring thunder rolls outside.

Shen Pearl walked outside, step by step, very slowly.

She didn't dare to go too fast and too fast, she was afraid that she would accidentally lose her pace and fall to the ground.

She didn't dare to look back.

Her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't let him see them.

He is so smart, just a tear is enough to arouse his suspicions, enough for him to recognize her.

Yet, how she wanted to look back at him again, if only for a ......

It's over.

If she wasn't the woman who could make him after all, why didn't she give way?

If she had always been his shackles, why would she cut the rope with her own hands?

In this life, I have never regretted it.

In this life, you have given me so much.

And all I can give you is to break off your love from now on.
