Chapter 191: Strange Journey
Seeing that Yue Yu was leaving, Yu Ruyan suddenly stopped him and asked him to take him away. [No pop-ups. 】
Her sudden move, except for King Liang's face, the other three were completely stunned!
The knife didn't know what to say, and Yue Yu couldn't believe what he heard----
Since he confessed everything to her in the cell of Dali Temple that day, although Yu Ruyan did not show any resentment towards him on the surface, he obviously felt the alienation between her and himself
Later, after learning that he was the mastermind behind the ruthless assassination of the knife three years ago, he was completely embarrassed in front of her, even if he met him in Dali Temple later, neither of them said a word, even if he was leaving today, he also heard King Liang tell her yesterday.
Therefore, Yue Yu knew that she resented herself in her heart, and she never imagined that she would forgive herself and be willing to go with her one day.
And the most shocked was naturally Mu Lingzhi, he seemed to be thundering from the sky, after hearing Yu Ruyan's words, his mind was blank with a 'boom', and he actually stayed on the spot, thinking that he had heard it wrong for a while
The next moment, when he came back to his senses, he was about to step forward and grab Yu Ruyan, who was walking towards the door, and asked her if she had heard it wrong, but as soon as she took a step, she was stopped by King Liang!
King Liang said coldly: "Stop, don't stop her!" ”
However, Mu Lingzhi would be so easy to let go of the jade Ruyan, he just stagnated slightly, and the next moment. But he rushed in front of Yu Ruyan in greater stride, blocking her way out.
"What did you just say?"
His long eyelashes flapped uneasily like wings, his deep eyes were full of panic, and he looked at Yu Ruyan with a cold expression in front of him for a moment, and the bad premonitions in his heart came one after another----
It turned out that his premonition was not wrong, she really had something to hide from herself, and this matter was actually to leave her and go with Yue Yu!
This news is undoubtedly the most fatal blow to him!
Thinking of such a result in the end, Mu Ling's heart ached, and he didn't care about listening to her answer, nor in front of his father and Yue Yu, he hugged her into his arms, and said in a domineering and firm voice: "You tell me, you just said the wrong thing, I heard it wrong!" ”
The body was pressed tightly into his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
The more Yu Ruyan's heart hurt and numb, the more indifferent her face became. She struggled out of Mu Lingzhi's arms, and said in an indifferent tone: "No, Your Highness didn't hear it wrong, and I didn't say it wrong, I made up my mind to go with Brother Yue." ”
"What did you say?"
Even though her voice was clear to her ears, Mu Lingzhi still didn't want to believe it, staring at her tightly, trying to see the joking description on her face.
However, Yu Ruyan's face was cold and firm, without a trace of joke, and her big empty eyes were full of frost at the moment.
"I said, after going through so many things, I found that the only person who really loves me and can really protect me is Brother Yue, so I want to go with Brother Yue and live an ordinary and simple life!"
If Yu Ruyan's previous words were a thunderbolt that exploded on Mu Lingzhi's head, then this sentence was a sharp steel knife inserted into his heart, stabbing his heart into a thousand holes, and it was painful!
He couldn't believe that such words would come out of Yu Ruyan's mouth, and he didn't believe that she actually denied the hard-won affection between them, life and death
His hands clasped her emaciated shoulders tightly. Looking at her with straight eyes, Mu Lingzhi's tone unconsciously brought begging, and his voice trembled: "Don't say stupid things, and don't be angry with me, I know that since I returned to Daliang, I have been too busy, and I have been waiting for me at home alone every day, and sometimes I will not even have the time to accompany you for a good meal, in the future, I will definitely take time to accompany you well, from now on, I will take you to eat hot pot in the evening, and I will go for a walk on the long street, I will definitely do it."
Yu Ruyan seemed to be held by him, her body trembled uncontrollably, even though her eyes couldn't see him, she still couldn't help but lower her head and didn't dare to face him.
She gritted her teeth to interrupt Mu Lingzhi's flustered words, and said coldly: "No need, I am completely disappointed in His Highness." Since the day I married you, it was the beginning of my miserable fate."
"I was ruined by the cold arrows you shot, and I became a military prostitute; Because of you, my princess of a country had to humiliate you as a slave and a maid, and she was bullied and oppressed by the women in your backyard, endured all the hardships, suffered a lot, and then, because of being with you, I suffered blows and disasters that I couldn't bear----"
"In the cell, the crane was red, beaten and scolded, and even went to the beheading, almost lost my life, and finally you pierced my eyes, so how can I not hate you!"
"Once when you imprisoned me as a slave and a maid, I swore secretly that one day, I would make you fall in love with me, and then abandon you fiercely, and then trample under your feet, in order to avenge your humiliation against me back then. Now, I have given up a pair of eyes, but I have also fulfilled the vow I made back then."
Yu Ruyan's cold and piercing words not only Mu Lingzhi was completely stunned, but even Xiaodao and Yue Yu couldn't believe it.
At this time, Yu Ruyan was glad that she couldn't see with a pair of eyes. Otherwise, if she was asked to look at Mu Lingzhi's injured and grieving appearance, she would definitely not be able to continue, and cruelly said the most unwilled words to hurt him
"Now, my Highness and I are also clear. I don't want to stay here, stay in Daliang again, and I don't want to stay by your side anymore, because I will never forget the harm you did to me, and I will never be truly happy! ”
After that, she held back the tears that were about to burst, ruthlessly pushed away Mu Lingzhi, who had been petrified in front of her, and walked towards Yue Yu resolutely
Mu Lingzhi fell into endless despair and panic, unable to come back to his senses. Yu Ruyan eagerly walked towards Yue Yu, Yue Yu was afraid that she would fall, so she couldn't help but take two steps forward to support her, she turned her back, and in a place where the other three couldn't see, she snuggled up to Yue Yu, pleading with him in an extremely low voice----
"Take me away, take me away. Please! ”
From the moment Yu Ruyan opened her mouth to go with him just now, Yue Yu was shocked for a while, and she didn't understand why she suddenly did this, and the words she said were heartless and sad, and she didn't leave any room for ----.
Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao couldn't believe it, but King Liang was silent, Yue Yu suddenly had a bright light in his heart, he knew that maybe Yu Ruyan, like himself, had become the person who King Liang was afraid of, so he had to leave.
This thought crossed his heart, plus he had known Yu Ruyan for so long, knew that she was not such a person, and knew the weight of Mu Lingzhi in her heart, when Daqi and Wei started a war, the news of Mu Lingzhi's death came, Yu Ruyan was sad and desperate, and he was bent on seeking death, and he had no will to live, and almost died on the way to the battlefield
Therefore, there must be a reason for her sudden change today!
But in this case, in front of King Liang, he didn't want to ask her in detail, because he felt that her change must be related to King Liang, and in this world, there is no second person who can hold her hostage except King Liang.
Think about it. Seeing her flustered and anxious face, he had to agree first, and said softly: "Okay, I'll take you away!" ”
After that, he didn't stop any longer, took Yu Ruyan's hand and walked outside together.
Mu Lingzhi had been in extreme shock, his eyes were bloodshot, his mind was blank, and he stayed on the spot stupidly, not even realizing that they were leaving.
When the knife on the side saw it, he couldn't help but chase after him, stopped in front of the two, grabbed Yu Ruyan's hand, and said anxiously: "Sister, what's wrong with you?" How can you say such a thing? Could it be that your previous relationship with the royal brother was really a play? I don't believe it. The royal brother won't believe it. You and the royal brother have gone through so many hardships, and they can finally come together, how can you just say go? ”
"Sister, do you have a hard time in your heart, you say it, I'll help you solve it, sister, you can't go"
Yu Ruyan was already broken, she gritted her teeth and used all her strength to walk out, every step she took seemed to be stepping on the tip of a knife, making her feel painful
Xiaodao's words were like a heavy resistance, making her steps more difficult, but she knew that King Liang would do what he said, today. She had to leave!
King Liang only gave her one way to go, that is, to find a reason to leave Da Liang, so that Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao would be completely dead to her, and even make them hate her to the bone
If she doesn't leave, then King Liang can only choose one person to live between Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao, and between the two brothers, she chooses which one, and the other cannot live in this world anymore
Because, King Liang doesn't want his two sons to become the next himself and the emperor!
Last night, in the same hall, King Liang not only told Yu Ruyan about the unclear feelings between himself and the former emperor and Empress Zhu ten years ago, and finally caused a catastrophe, but also told her about the duel between Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao on the city wall. This matter, Xiaodao and Mu Lingzhidu spontaneously concealed it from her. just didn't want to burden her heart, so when she learned all this from King Liang's mouth, Yu Ruyan couldn't believe it.
She couldn't believe that for her sake, Mu Lingzhi could put the sword on the neck of his most beloved brother, and she didn't expect that the knife would lay down heavy troops to deal with her own brother, thinking of that terrible scene at that time, Yu Ruyan's whole body was chilled.
However, what King Liang said to her later was what completely made her tremble and despair!
King Liang said: "On that day, I sentenced you to beheading. But in the end, for the sake of you, Ling Zhi openly resisted the decree and forcibly entered the city, sacrificing the secret guards he had worked hard to cultivate for many years, and later almost slaughtered thousands of Yulin troops in order to rob the law field. And the crown prince ----"
Speaking of this, King Liang's heart ached, his eyes were cold, and his tone was extremely sad: "And the crown prince is actually for you, quietly planning to let me abdicate the Zen throne to him, so that he can ascend the throne in advance, so as to pardon your capital crime!" ”
Hearing this, she couldn't support it anymore, her body shook, and she almost fell to the ground.
It turned out that after Xiaodao and Mu Lingzhi fought side by side to slaughter the Yulin Army that day, he went to the other garden to see Yu Ruyan, who was blinded by the stabbing eye, and learned that Mu Lingzhi wanted to replace Yu Ruyan's life.
He wanted to save Yu Ruyan, he also wanted to save his imperial brother, and he wanted to change everything that was chaotic at that time, and in desperation, he actually came up with a bold idea, that is, to ascend the throne as the emperor in advance!
Only when he becomes the emperor can he pardon all the crimes of Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi, and only in this way can he protect the people he wants to protect.
Therefore, after hurriedly returning to the palace from the other garden, he actually conspired with his subordinates to force King Liang to ascend the throne
Layers of fine sweat spilled on Yu Ruyan's back, and she knew that even if the knife was the prince. But what he did was a great rebellion, even if he was the son of King Liang, King Liang could still kill him.
Looking at Yu Ruyan's frightened and frightened appearance, King Liang said coldly: "Although he stopped the precipice in the end and did not take action, it can also be seen from this that he cares more about you than everything in his heart." And I, if I want to hold him accountable and take his life, do you think I should or not? Or, you and Ling Zhi are also his accomplices, should I take you together and punish you? ”
Although he couldn't see the description on King Liang's face, Yu Ruyan still felt the coldness of his eyes on him, and couldn't help but weaken his knees, knelt in front of King Liang, his whole body trembled, and he gritted his teeth and said, "What does Your Majesty want me to do?" ”
Yu Ruyan knew in her heart that Xiao Dao had committed such a big crime, but King Liang only called her alone, which meant that King Liang had already decided that everything about Xiao Dao and Mu Lingzhi's disobedience to him was because of her, so from beginning to end, King Liang had no room in his heart for only her!
"I want you to leave Daliang and my two sons!"
King Liang's tone was firm without a trace of room for manoeuvre, he looked at her fixedly, and said slowly: "These two sons of mine are crazy for you, and they are no longer the two sons I taught to make me proud and proud. ”
"If you don't leave. I can conclude that in the near future, Daliang will be the same as ten years ago, because of a woman, brothers will turn against each other and usher in a bloody storm."
Yu Ruyan knelt on the ground trembling all over, her heart was in pain and panic, and she didn't even have the courage to raise her head to face King Liang.
King Liang did not urge her to give an answer, but said slowly with sadness: "I have taken ten years to feel guilty for the wrong things I did ten years ago. In the past ten years, I have not lived a happy life, living day and night in guilt, and the taste and pain are very relatable. So, I don't want the same tragedy to happen to my son again"
"I am destined to leave an infamy in history. But I don't want the prince or Ling Zhi to be like me, to become sinners through the ages. So, this is the last wish of a father. ”
King Liang's words were like a sentence, engraved into Yu Ruyan's heart
Although Empress Xie had said this to her before, at that time, she didn't think that the situation would be as serious as the queen said, because the knife at that time had not made a crazy move against her
And now, even if she doesn't want to believe it, she has to believe the possibility that King Liang said
After a long time, she raised her head in despair and mourned: "Why didn't Your Majesty kill me directly?" Wouldn't that make it even more possible for the two brothers to die? “
"Because you are the benefactor of the queen, and even the benefactor of the prince, and this time you have also been wronged and suffered a lot, all of this is owed to you by my big beam, so I can no longer ask for your life to resolve this matter, the only way is to let you leave, and let them completely cut off their friendship with you, and even make them hate you"
What kind of tragic appearance was the mutiny ten years ago, Yu Ruyan had not seen it with her own eyes, but she saw with her own eyes the tragic life left by the disaster of the war ten years ago to the four childhood sweethearts.
Because of what happened ten years ago, the pain and suffering that Yue Yu encountered is obvious to all. And the dead Mu Ziyue is not a victim of such a disaster?!
If it weren't for the events of the past, she might have complied with the mandate of heaven and become the crown princess of Yue Yu, and then naturally promoted to the queen of the Middle Palace, and her life would not have intersected with Mu Lingzhi and her, and she would not have become a ruthless person who fell into madness because of love and hatred!
Mu Lingzhi has also always been obsessed with the sword that stabbed Yue Yu back then, feeling guilty, he didn't dare to celebrate the Hanrui Festival for ten years, and even got tired of the throne, and wanted to escape everything here, and later stepped into the revenge trap carefully designed by Yue Yu, one wrong step
And if it weren't for the hatred in Yue Yu's heart for what happened ten years ago, Xiaodao would not have been assassinated by him three years ago, so he would have been exiled to the people, suffered a lot, and even his temperament became angry. will not meet her, let alone have feelings for her, which disturbs her relationship with Mu Lingzhi, so that now because she is going to do something wrong
And herself, who was originally a princess of another country thousands of miles away, was finally implicated in this accident and became an innocent pawn
Therefore, having witnessed everyone's misfortune with his own eyes, to this day, even Yu Ruyan has no way to guarantee whether she will become Queen Zhu ten years ago, and whether Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao will fight against each other again because of her
Even if it's only a 1 in 10,000 possibility, Yu Ruyan can't afford to gamble, she doesn't want to bet, and she doesn't dare to bet.
Therefore, she promised King Liang, promised to leave Mu Lingzhi, leave Xiaodao, leave Daliang, and never come back
And she thought that the best way for Mu Lingzhi to die for her, let her go completely, and even finally turn his love for her into hatred for her was to empathize with her and go with Yue Yu
Therefore, Yu Ruyan, who had already made up her mind to leave, looked at the knife that was stopped in front of her at this moment, hardened her heart, gritted her teeth and said: "In this life, not only do I not want to see Mu Lingzhi again, but I also don't want to see you, I regret saving you three years ago." ”
Hearing this, Xiaodao was also stunned and looked at her in disbelief.
"I was kind enough to save you and treat you like a brother, but what did you do to me?"
When she said these cruel words, Yu Ruyan's brain was dizzy for a while, and she almost fell to the ground, and Yue Yu on the side hurriedly reached out to support her.
Her voice trembled so much that she couldn't do it, but she gritted her teeth to restrain the grief in her heart, and continued to say fiercely: "From this moment on, between you and me, we will cut off the relationship between sisters and brothers, and we will never see each other again." ”
With that, he shook off the knife's stiff hand.
With a huge pain in his heart, the knife hung his arms weakly, and looked at Yu Ruyan, who was described as hideous and completely unfamiliar in front of him, and was so panicked that he was incoherent: "Sister, I know that I was wrong sister, I will not compete with the imperial brother for you in the future, as long as you are good, let me do whatever I swear to the heavens, I must listen to my sister in this life Sister, you forgive me, I was wrong"
"Everything has happened, at this point, my heart is dead, my only wish now is to leave here, if you are really good for me, let me go."
Yu Ruyan resolutely interrupted him and walked forward. Xiaodao anxiously looked back at Mu Lingzhi with a stunned face, and heartache flashed in his eyes. Undying, he took her hand again, and said anxiously: "Sister, you can be angry with me, but you can't blame the imperial brother, he is for your good from beginning to end, you can't abandon him, he was impulsive with that arrow back then, and your eyes are also a last resort, the imperial brother is bitter."
Yu Ruyan didn't want to hear Mu Lingzhi's name again, she was afraid that when she heard the three words 'Mu Lingzhi', her hard heart would not be able to stand the collapse, so she had to grit her teeth and turn around and kneel down in the direction of King Liang, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, you have issued a credential before. The marriage between the two countries has been revealed, so I will no longer count the marriage with the Third Highness. Ruyan wants to ask His Majesty, now that Ruyan has no marriage with Da Liang, and naturally he is not a person of Da Liang, can he come and go freely, and can he marry again? ”
King Liang's old and decrepit description was annihilated in the hall of not very bright light, looking at the situation in front of him, although he felt guilty, he still hardened his heart and said firmly: "The marriage between the two countries is a big deal, and I have made a promise, since I have taken the truth, I naturally can't go back on my word." ”
"From this day on, you can marry on your own, and you will no longer have anything to do with the people and things of Daliang. You ---- go! ”
King Liang's words woke up Mu Lingzhi, who had been trapped in a terrible nightmare, and he completely woke up and knew that everything terrible in front of him was not a dream, but real!
And Yu Ruyan got the permission of King Liang, and didn't stay any longer, and whispered to Yue Yu, who was holding her by her side: "Brother Yue, let's go!" ”
Yue Yu looked at her panicked and painful face that she was trying to hide, sighed and asked steadily, "Have you really decided?" ”
"Let's go! I've made up my mind and I'm not going back. Yu Ruyan's voice trembled, and she took Yue Yu's hand and walked forward, but was chased by Mu Lingzhi, who had reflected.
He grabbed her hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "Do you know what you're doing?" Even if my father and emperor have made peace between the two countries, I Mu Lingzhi can still marry you I know that you have lived a very hard life in Daliang and have suffered a lot of grievances, I said, as soon as the affairs of the DPRK and China are over, I will take you out of here and live where you want to go, why do you suddenly do this"
"Is there a day when the affairs of the court can be concluded? Your Highness has always said that you will marry me, but in the end, not only did I not look forward to the wedding you owed me, but I also broke off the name of you and me. What's more, from beginning to end, I am just taking revenge on you, revenge for your sword revenge back then, revenge for my military prostitute humiliation, and even more revenge for your dazzling hatred for me! ”
Yu Ruyan closed her eyes, gritted her teeth with hatred and said these heart-piercing sad words. The expression was also indifferent, and Mu Lingzhi's heart was like a thousand arrows piercing his heart!
"I don't believe it, I'm not a fool. Whether your feelings for me are true or false, I Mu Lingzhi can judge it, and it is not something that you can completely deny in one or two sentences! ”
Mu Lingzhi's eyes were already red with pain, he couldn't bear it anymore, and roared at Yu Ruyan in collapse.
He didn't understand why Yu Ruyan, who was fine a moment ago, had changed in a blink of an eye. He didn't understand why the beloved woman who could give her life for him, who usually didn't complain, even if she suffered all the injustices and tribulations in the world, would smile and be kind and innocent, why would she become like this, turning the most vicious words in the world into a white blade, stabbing him one after another, mercilessly
Mu Lingzhi's roar and roar were like a wounded trapped beast, making the last struggle before dying, however, even so, Yu Ruyan had to add the deadliest knife to his body!
"Since the day I met His Highness, His Highness has prided himself to be the most intelligent person in the world, and he is even surrounded by iron walls, so that people can't find your weakness and defeat you!"
"Your Highness remembers that at that fighting match in the barracks, Your Highness gave me as an item to the winner of the night, and at that time, I asked Your Highness if you ever regretted it. His Royal Highness replied to me with confidence at that time, you never regret it, the word regret will not appear in you, not today, and not in the future. ”
"From that moment on, I secretly decided that I would do something that you would regret for the rest of your life, and I would make myself a soft threat to you, a soft threat that could kill you!"
"You" Mu Lingzhi shook his head in disbelief, as if he didn't know the person in front of him, and his face showed a strange and frightened look!
"And I, I chose to go with Brother Yue today, that's because, from the very beginning, I agreed to kiss for him, so I followed you with humiliation. You may not know, we met eight years ago, and from beginning to night, he was the only person I liked, and His Highness was just a chess piece I played! ”
With that, she raised the hand that was tightly clasped with Yue Yu in front of Mu Lingzhi's eyes, and sneered: "Hasn't Your Highness always been curious, where did I learn my chess skills?" Let me tell you today, my chess skills are handed over to me by Brother Yue! ”
After gritting her teeth and saying the last sentence, Yu Ruyan's brain was already buzzing loudly, she desperately tried her best to hold back the fishy sweetness that surged in her throat, her body was weak, and she could no longer support it and fell into Yue Yu's arms
And her heart-devouring words made even the knife change her face, and it completely angered Mu Lingzhi's dead heart----
A mouthful of blood spurted out of Mu Lingzhi's mouth, and the blood dripping on the white mourning clothes was shocking!
The next moment, his soft waist popped out, his deep eyes were already bloody, and he didn't have time to wipe off the blood stains on the corners of his mouth, and the long sword in his hand was already aimed at the woman in front of him who made him hate to the bone.
Mu Lingzhi gritted his teeth and said fiercely: "This palace is going to kill you!" ”
