There are secret passages in almost every palace, and there are also in the homes of those ministers, in case they need to escape. However, they are all built very secretively, and they will be cautious to kill all the workers who have built the secret passages, except for the important people inside, otherwise others will not be found if they have the heart to find out.

"Why are you helping me?"

"It's fate."

I paused: "Le Changfeng said that it was because your king killed his mother, but I don't believe it much. ”

Lu Qiurong smiled: "He is willing to tell you this, which shows that he also trusts you very much." You're not mistaken, it's none of my business to fuck me dead. His mother is the daughter of the prime minister of Zhiguo, and she is extremely smart and clever. came to Miao Jiang to name Heqin, but in fact, he was a spy who explored Miao Jiang's secrets. The king found her, and according to the law of Miao Jiang, she was going to be beheaded in front of the Miao Jiang people. The king didn't want her to die too ugly, so he thought about a secret execution. Unexpectedly, his mother threatened the king with the young Le Changfeng, and the king strangled him to death in a fit of anger. ”

I didn't expect to be seen by Le Changfeng, I just like that. suddenly felt that Le Changfeng was also quite pitiful and planned revenge for many years, forcing his father to step down, and torturing himself for so many years, but in the end it was a misunderstanding.

I came out of Lu Qiurong, looking at the unique blue sky and white clouds of Miaojiang, and my mood was much more relaxed.

At night, I asked Zhike to prepare a table of good wine and food, and sat on a chair waiting for Le Changfeng. I know he's coming tonight, because it's my birthday, and if he has a little conscience, he'll always remember it.

It was cold at night, so Zhilan helped me cover a blanket and persuaded me to rest early. In the afternoon, I told Zhilan about the secret passage in Lu Qiurong, she didn't believe it at first, and I didn't explain much, but she saw me like this and decided to leave from the secret passage tomorrow.

"Girl, have you thought about it, if you say goodbye to this trip, you will never come back." She said.

"There's nothing to think about." I smiled and said, "I'm going to have to take care of you tomorrow, I'm afraid the child in my belly won't be able to hold on." ”

She looked at my bulging lower abdomen and smiled with a smile in her eyes: "It's natural." I looked a lot bigger, and I thought I was a fat boy. ”

I chuckled and didn't speak. After a while, I looked at the moonlight outside, and it should be the end of the hour: "If Le Changfeng comes, let's leave tonight." ”

She was stunned for a moment, then stared at the wine and food on the table, and suddenly said, "You want to stun Le Changfeng." But why not wait until tomorrow? ”

I shook my head: "You don't know Le Changfeng, he is suspicious, he will definitely know about the matter of I going to Lu Yu Qiurong today." When the time comes, I'm afraid it's too late. ”

Zhilan was silent for a moment, and also agreed with my decision.

It didn't take long for Le Changfeng to come, and he came by stepping on the moonlight in the sky, and his body seemed to be bright.

I waved my hand, and Zhilan patted my arm down.

"It's your birthday, it's a gift for you, do you like it?" He pulled out a night pearl the size of a goose egg from his bosom.

The colorful light instantly illuminated the whole room, and the candlelight was also overshadowed by it.

I didn't look at it, just poured him a glass of wine: "Come, sit." ”

Le Changfeng sat down as he said, he looked at me, and then stared at me and handed him the wine in the cup: "What's wrong today?" ”

I smiled and poured myself a cup of tea: "Since Miaojiang, we have never spoken properly, tonight is my birthday, so I want to have a good heart-to-heart with you." ”

Le Changfeng's eyes were rippling, and he looked at me with a smile: "Ruyue, you accept me." ”

"Let's not talk about that." I raised my glass to him: "Tea instead of wine." Commemorating our acquaintance in the capital. ”

I drank it all in one gulp and shook the wine bottle at Le Changfeng.

Le Changfeng hesitated for a moment, but still drank the glass of wine: "Ruyue ......"

"Le Changfeng, don't speak." I interrupted him and poured myself another cup of tea: "Second cup, thank you to the black wolf for saving me from the cliff." ”

I drank it all, followed by another one: "Third glass, farewell to all the love I once had for you." ”

"Le Changfeng, tell you the truth, when Gu Xiu was in the capital, were the bandits I met on the road also arranged by you?"

How I wanted to hear Le Changfeng's veto without hesitation, but he was silent for a moment and acquiesced to my question: "Yes." ”

I closed my eyes, and two lines of tears fell from my face: "I see. Emperor Zhiguo wants to accept me as a concubine, is it also a conspiracy between you and Gu Xiu. ”

"Yes."

"To force me to make a marriage contract with you."

"Yes."

"You did it on purpose to save my father."

"Yes."

I smiled and wiped away my tears: "Le Changfeng, you have lied to me for so long, why don't you lie to me now." ”

"Ruyue, I don't want to." Le Changfeng wanted to touch my face, but this time I didn't avoid it, and let his cold fingers run across my face: "There are too many helplessness, and I can't help myself in many things I do." ”

I also looked at him: "Le Changfeng, I know about your sister." ”

I looked into his surprised eyes and smiled, "Actually, we don't owe each other." Le Changfeng, the price you and I paid for this cause and effect is too great. ”

Le Changfeng didn't speak for a long time, he looked at me silently, I still smiled, and stroked my lower abdomen from time to time: "He's been six months old, and he will give birth in more than three months." ”

At this point between the two of us, nothing else needs to be said. My father's and his sister's are all clear. If I could, I would have liked to be the one who died. After all, these things started with me, and the root of iniquity is me.

The food was already cold, and the candles were burning from beginning to end. I heard Delle Changfeng laugh miserably: "Ruyue, do you still love me?" ”

"Love." It's just that I know very well that it is impossible for me and Le Changfeng to be together.

Le Changfeng had a smile on his face, I knew that he felt that I still loved him, so he was sure that I would not leave Miao Jiang, even if my mother and eldest brother were gone, he was very relieved.

"Like the moon, we can ......"

He was speechless and collapsed on the table with one hand on his forehead.

I looked at him quietly, and after a moment, I drank the last cup of tea: "This cup, thank you and I don't owe each other." ”

I covered Le Changfeng with a layer of futon, and Zhilan had already taken the money and was waiting for me at the door. I changed into civilian clothes to meet her, and met Zhike in the hall to Lu Qiurong.

She was there dressed in black, her posture was sassy, her face was expressionless, and she blended in with the cool moonlight.

I felt a sigh in my heart, I didn't expect to hide it from Le Changfeng, but Zhike knew about it.

Zhilan stopped me behind me, holding a short blade in his hand: "How do you know where we're going?" ”

Zhike didn't answer, just looked at me quietly.
