Chapter 508: Monopoly (2)
Since that night, Chu Jingchuan has come to Cining Palace every night to accompany Meng Xilan.
He was no longer angry, and she was no longer writhing and indifferent. After tossing for so long, the wounds and the pains were painful, and the two of them calmed down.
The bruises on Meng Xilan's body will take some time to heal, especially the most serious injury to her wrist. The color of the bruises gradually faded, but it was still ugly.
Meng Xilan's skin was as white as snow, and there shouldn't have been the slightest flaw. But now her back is full of pinching marks and bruises, red and purple, shocking.
Every time Chu Jingchuan saw her injury, he secretly hated himself in his heart.
What kind of man is he? actually tortured a woman like this, and she was still the woman he cared about the most in his heart!
Could it be that there is another person hiding in his body? A tyrannical and cruel person who kills without blinking.
Chu Jingchuan personally came over to give her medicine, and his rough fingertips slid over her body little by little, extra careful.
The bruise did not go away, and after gently caressing, there was a small pain.
Meng Xilan's shoulders trembled slightly, not intentionally.
Seeing this, Chu Jingchuan paused in his hand and asked lightly: "Did I hurt you?" ”
As soon as the words came out, he felt that he was redundant. Of course he hurt her, and all the injuries on her body were due to him.
Meng Xilan was stunned and didn't know what she was thinking, and only then did she shake her head when she heard him ask.
What is this pain, it doesn't get in the way, it doesn't matter.
Chu Jingchuan saw that she didn't answer, so he said: "I won't do that to you in the future." ”
This time he was serious.
Meng Xilan sighed softly when she heard this, muttering to herself: "This is nothing...... I don't blame you either...... After so many years, compared to the pain in your heart, what is my pain? ”
Chu Jingchuan was stunned when he heard this, and his whole body froze.
Does she know his pain? Does she care? Distressed?
At this time, Meng Xilan was dressed in plain clothes, washed all the lead, without the pearls and emeralds of being a queen, and without gorgeous and delicate charming makeup, her smile and her thoughts, there was no place to hide.
Meng Xilan turned around, looked into Chu Jingchuan's eyes and said, "If you do this, you can feel relieved, I don't care." ”
Chu Jingchuan lowered his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this: "I will never feel better if I hurt you." ”
He reached out and pulled a strand of her loose hair behind her ear, grinning his lips, the corners of his mouth curled a little, revealing a faint sadness.
She sat in front of him like this, meek and quiet, as she had done when she was a child...... If you turn back the clock and go back to a beautiful spring day more than ten years ago. She is still her, she is still the daughter of the third room of the Meng family, innocent, ignorant of the world, comfortable every day, can laugh and cry freely...... And he is still a young man of the Chu family, practicing bow and arrow riding and archery every day, without the wolf ambition of usurping power and killing the king, nor does he have endless resentment and desire.
They are so simple, they like each other and care about each other wholeheartedly.
She groomed herself in the mirror every day, every smile was because of herself, and every day she was waiting to be his bride and his wife. They will get married, they will have many, many children, and they will grow old...... That's what they should live, that's what their life should be.
Chu Jingchuan stretched out his hands to hold Meng Xilan's face, slowly approached, pressed his forehead against hers, and sighed deeply: "Although it's a little late, let's start again." The prince will always be in the position he should be in, as long as he is obedient, I will not touch him! All your life is for the prince, and I won't ruin him. ”
Meng Xilan didn't speak, her eyes looked at Chu Jingchuan for a moment, and a sneer quietly overflowed from the bottom of her heart.
Hit the mark...... The person in front of him has been tricked.
This repeated bitter ploy finally worked.
She made him hurt himself over and over again, and he finally relented.
Chu Jingchuan, it's too late. Neither you nor I have ever had a chance to start over.
Meng Xilan slowly lowered her eyes, stretched out her hands, wrapped her arms around his neck, put her warm lips to his ear, and said softly: "Brother Jingchuan, we will never be separated in the future." ”
Chu Jingchuan was moved when he heard this, and hugged her tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go.
Meng Xilan had a little tear in her eyes, and she stepped over his shoulder and looked at the bright sunshine outside the window.
Chu Jingchuan, I'm sorry...... Going around and around, two lives as a human being, I still have to let you down after all.
…
For ten consecutive days, Chu Jingchuan lived in the palace every night and rarely went home.
He made his own decisions and made things like today, and the Chu family's hearts were all uneasy. And now he has occupied the palace and the queen, so that their Chu family has really become a chaotic minister and thief.
Rong's mood is even more complicated, she looks forward to seeing her husband every day, because she has a lot of important things to say to him.
Waiting left and right, I finally looked forward to Chu Jingchuan coming back.
Even though Rong was aggrieved, but when she saw him for the first time, she still smiled slightly and stepped forward to salute.
"Xianggong, I've been waiting for you to come back. I have something important to say to you......"
Chu Jingchuan expected that she would have something to ask and something to say.
"You say."
"The general has been living in the palace for the past few days, is he with the queen mother?" Rong slightly concealed his emotions and asked lightly.
Chu Jingchuan said truthfully: "Yes." ”
Rong Shi's whole body trembled when he heard this, and he took a deep breath and said, "Xianggong, how do you want me to deal with myself when you do this?" ”
Chu Jingchuan frowned: "You know everything in the past." Don't be me! ”
He never hid from her, and he never lied to her.
Their marriage is for the good of the two families, and she has followed him for so many years, which is not a grievance.
Rong bit his lower lip hard, only to suppress his tone very lightly.
"She is the queen, the emperor's woman...... What are you guys doing this? ”
She almost said the word "reluctantly", brought it to her mouth, and swallowed it back.
Chu Jingchuan's eyes were angry, and he didn't say anything.
"It's not your business!"
Rong was embarrassed and indignant, and only said, "Why can't I take care of it? I'm your wife! What am I if you do this? Chu Jingchuan, when I first married into the Chu family, I never had any extravagant expectations for you, but now you have turned me into a joke! ”
Chu Jingchuan knew what she was worried about, and said in a deep voice: "You don't have to worry, you will always be my Chu Jingchuan's wife, and I will not be disappointed by you." ”
Rong's eyes flashed when he heard this, as if he didn't believe it.
He finally got his sweetheart, can he still pretend to be someone else in his heart?
"You have to be more attentive to the affairs of your family. The affairs of the palace have nothing to do with you. After Chu Jingchuan said this, he walked up to her and reached out and pressed her shoulder.
"Things will soon come to an end. I've entrusted you with all the things in my family. ”
His tone was heavy, as if he was explaining what was going on.
Rong's face changed suddenly.
"Xianggong, don't scare me......"
Chu Jingchuan pressed her shoulder and said in a deep voice: "What I want to get back for the Chu family, there is only one chance." If you can catch it, you win, and if you can't catch it, you will die! ”
Rong closed his eyes and subconsciously grabbed his hand, wanting him to give him a little warmth, a little bit.
Why, Chu Jingchuan didn't give her a chance to get close to herself, and turned around to leave.
"I'm going to talk to AXA."
Rong chased after her two steps, and when she reached the door, she stopped again.
His back was in a hurry, without any nostalgia.
Rong bit his lower lip, leaning weakly against the door, wanting to cry without tears.
……
Zhou Youchen has led his troops to Huaizhou, and Yin Xiao Wenxu, the governor of Huaizhou, is Chu Jingchuan's old acquaintance, but now, he does not dare to support Chu Jingchuan in front of the emperor and oppose the imperial court.
Huaizhou is less than 100 miles away from the capital, strictly speaking, only separated by a vast jade mountain.
After passing the Jade Mountain, you will see the capital, and it will also reach the point where you have to fight.
Zhou Youchen stayed in Huaizhou in order to first figure out the situation inside and outside the capital.
He didn't want to attack rashly, and besides, he wanted the queen and the crown prince to be safe.
Xiao Wenxu knew the strangeness of the capital, so he didn't dare to act rashly.
He knew that when the emperor went out of Beijing and returned to Beijing, he had to pass through Huaizhou. That is, the last trump card in the emperor's hand, 30,000 Praetorian Guards, will also stay in Huaizhou.
Zhou Youchen knew Xiao Wenxu's details clearly, and he asked him how the capital was now?
Xiao Wenxu didn't dare to tell the truth, only said that he didn't know.
Zhou Youchen smiled coldly when he heard this, and pulled out the long sword on the guard's waist, and the blade of the sword pointed directly at Xiao Wenxu's throat.
"You and Chu Jingchuan are classmates and friends, and your friendship is not shallow."
Xiao Wenxu knelt down and begged for mercy, shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen and Chu Jingchuan do know each other, but they haven't been in touch for many years. ”
"Huaizhou is less than 100 miles away from the capital, and you haven't heard any rumors?"
Zhou Youchen's face was gloomy, and his brown eyes flashed with a fierce light.
Seeing this, Xiao Wenxu hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, after the accident in the capital, I can't hear the wind outside." ”
"After Chu Jingchuan took control of the capital, he put all the four city gates under martial law, and only allowed people to enter but not to leave."
"The emperor deliberately wanted to block the news and not let people outside know, so Weichen also ......"
Zhou Youchen saw that he was still dodging, so he ordered the guards: "Bring his wife and daughter." ”
Xiao Wenxu immediately panicked when he heard this. "Your Majesty, Weichen's wife and daughter don't know, they are innocent...... Please don't ......"
Zhou Youchen saw that he was in a hurry, and said coldly: "My wife and children are also innocent, has Chu Jingchuan ever let them go?" ”
If Meng Xilan and Changsheng have something to do, he will go crazy sooner or later, even if he takes the whole world to bury them with them, he doesn't care.
Xiao Wenxu's forehead was in a cold sweat, and he knelt down and took a few steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, Weichen only knows that Chu Jingchuan wants to blackmail the prince to go to court...... It seems that he intends to be the regent! ”
This news was not told to him by Chu Jingchuan, but he bought it back with a lot of money. Now, everyone in the world wants to know what is going on in the capital?
