In the afternoon of the next day, Monaro walked into the study and handed a letter to Yu Wentai: "Prime Minister, Liu Wu brought this just now, saying that Ah Ran stayed at home. She went far away, and she didn't say where she was going, or when she would return. Liu Wu didn't dare to keep her, so they could only let her go. ”

Yu Wentai hummed softly and did not stop the pen in his hand.

"Don't you want to take a look?" Monalo whispered.

"Probably resign from the post of Changshi." Yu Wentai's tone was light.

"That'...... Will she ever come back? ”

Yu Wentai stopped the pen in his hand, was stunned for a while, did not speak, and continued to write on the fold in front of him.

Monaro knew that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't dare to say anything, so he went out silently.

Only then did Yuwentai open the recital. It was scribbled in a mess, and some official words such as "virtue is thin and shallow is unbearable", but it was smeared out indiscriminately. Until the end, seven words were scribbled: May the prime minister achieve what he wants.

She still understood his mind after all.

But she will never come back. From then on, their joys and sorrows had nothing to do with each other.

He silently closed the fold and pressed it to the bottom of the bookcase. Now that you have made your choice, you have to go on. What's the use of dwelling on pain or remorse? ——

No, no, no, he Yuwentai, if he makes a decision, he will never regret it!

He forced himself to be ruthless.

He is a hero who has risen in troubled times, how many difficulties he has overcome, and how many choices he has made between life and death. The poisoning of the emperor has been done, how can he lose his will in a little girl!

We still have to go on!

The road still has to go down, and Ran Ying is already on the way to Jingzhou at this time. She remembered what Qing Yan told her that the place she was looking for was in Jingzhou.

When he arrived in Luozhou, he met Li Yu going to Jingzhou to take up his post. Li Hao saw that she was alone, so she changed back to women's clothes, afraid that it would be unsafe for her to walk alone. Since they were on the same road, they invited her very warmly to accompany her, and also made a carriage for her. Ran Ying simply abandoned the horse and sat in the carriage and followed Li Yu's convoy to Jingzhou.

In addition to Li Yu and a group of soldiers, there were five or six maids and grandmothers who had served him since he was a child, as well as a young and beautiful girl. Looking at the dress, she should be a girl from a family, with a pretty appearance, cold eyebrows and eyes, and when she saw Ran Ying joining the team halfway, and she was very familiar with Li Yu, she ignored her. Ran Ying didn't mess with her, she snuggled in the carriage to read and sleep when she was on the road during the day, and slept alone in a tent at night, she didn't need to be served and cared for, but it was clean.

That night they were camped in the wilderness, and the people were either busy making fires and cooking, or busy settling the carts and horses. Ran Ying sat alone by the fire on the side in a daze. Li Yu came over with two steamed buns and handed them to Ran Ying.

Ran Ying looked up at him and teased with a smile: "General Wuwei is a bit snobbish, he toasts and flatters Lord Changshi, and only gives two steamed buns to a little woman." ”

Li Hao scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled, and said, "They are cooking over there, I think you probably don't want to go over, so I sent it to you." You...... Are you alright? ”

Ran Ying looked at him, a smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, and said, "Li Yu, don't you think I'm depressed, right?" ”

Li Hao pouted: "That's hard to say." Your appearance by the river that night was really worrying. ”

Ran Ying looked at the red and glamorous fire in front of her and said, "I still have something to do, I don't have the right to be depressed." ”

Li Yu was silent for a while, sat down beside Ran Ying, and said, "This thing is indeed very sudden. I heard that Yuwentai rejected the Supreme once before, and then Princess Gaoping made a lot of trouble in the palace, saying that Yuwentai would not marry. Later, Yuan Shun went to persuade the prime minister again, but he didn't know what to say. According to rumors in the palace, when the first emperor moved west two years ago, Princess Gaoping saw the prime minister and fell in love with him. After all, she is a princess, and she can't marry whoever she wants. It's just that how the prime minister thinks about this matter, others don't know. ”

Ran Ying said in a low voice: "Yuwentai is young, he is relying on the people left by He Bayue to gain momentum, Yuwen's foundation in Chang'an is shallow, his father and brother are dead, and his nephew Yuwen Dao Yuwen Hu is still too young, it is not easy for him to support this situation alone." refusing the royal marriage inevitably makes people think that he has different intentions and bad intentions. If the internal affairs are unstable, Rouran and Gao Huan will take advantage of the situation at any time. He had no other solution. She hugged her knees and stared at the red and bright fire in front of her, and smiled: "Speaking of which, it's not that he abandoned me, it's just that I don't want to be a concubine." ”

She remembered what Yu Wentai said after being silent for a long time that day, and she had no choice but to do it.

She was just a little unwilling. In Yuwentai's heart, she is the one who can be sacrificed, or rather, she is the one who does more harm than good. Is she to blame him? But she already knew that he would have to sacrifice a lot of personal feelings in that position.

Li Yu was silent for a long time and said, "Ah Ying, you really understand him. Without you, he would probably be very sad. ”

At this time, the young lady came over with a roast rabbit and said to Li Hao with a smile: "Li Lang, this is for you." As he spoke, he rolled his eyes at Ran Ying on the side.

Li Hao didn't notice it, so he took it and tore off a rabbit leg and handed it to Ran Ying: "You can eat it too." ”

The rabbit leg was roasted and fragrant, Ran Ying was already hungry, and was about to reach out to take the rabbit leg, but saw that the girl's face suddenly became gloomy. She understood, and immediately withdrew her hand and said, "I don't want to eat." ”

Li Yu didn't know what he meant, and said, "This rabbit leg is so fragrant, why don't you eat it." He shoved it into his mouth.

The girl's face was better.

After inquiring with Li Yu, I found out that the girl was Dugu's wife's sister-in-law, named Ru Luoyan. Because Dugu's wishful wife is about to give birth, he wants to take his sister to his side. So Li Hao was entrusted by Dugu to take his wife and sister from Chang'an to Jingzhou to reunite with his sister.

Along the way, taking care of the Ru Luo Yan, who was in love with Li Yu and liked to be jealous, Ran Ying tried her best to avoid talking to Li Hao alone. It's just that Li Yu's guy is careless, and he didn't notice Ru Luo Yan's mind at all, which caused Ran Ying to eat all the white eyes all the way.

All the way to Zhezhou, more than 100 miles past is the boundary of Jingzhou. The group also felt tired, thinking about a good rest this night and arriving in Jingzhou tomorrow.

In the evening everyone rested early. Ran Ying slept in her tent and thought about Yuwentai for a while with her eyes open. I don't know what he's doing at this point.

She imagined his wedding. The most powerful ruler and the most favored princess, it must be an unprecedented spectacle. She closed her eyes and imagined the endless incense cars and BMWs on the ten-mile long street of Chang'an City, and imagined the beautiful palace maids and majestic soldiers lining up on both sides of the road. The appearance of him wearing a snow-white wedding dress must be Zhilan Yushu, Xiao Xiao Qinghua. However, the bride he is holding in his hand will not be her after all.

Ran Ying covered her face with a quilt.

Suddenly, a girl outside whispered, "Girl, is the girl asleep?" ”
