Chapter 70: Palm

became your husband.

Her sister said.

On that day, there were still three days before their wedding, and at the banquet after the autumn hunt, Zhu Luan saw Duan Haochu for a long time.

Because fiancés can't see each other until they get married, she hasn't seen her fiancé for a long time.

"Your Highness." At the banquet, while waiting to toast the queen of heaven, the young man with a jade face turned his head to her and called her gently.

"Huh?" Zhu Luan responded.

"When the banquet is over, can Your Highness wait for me in the annex?" Duan Haochu looked into her eyes and asked.

"You forgot? By the rules, we can't see each other. A helpless smile appeared on Zhu Luan's face and replied.

"But I want to see you." Duan Haochu said bluntly.

"It's been a long time since I've seen you." Duan Haochu hesitated for a moment and continued, "After the toast, I have to go back to the outer table, I can't see you here." ”

"Ah, that's right." Zhu Luan was choked by her fiancé's straightforward words, and secretly glanced at the queen Niangniang who was sitting on the top, and found that Niangniang was looking at this side with a smile, and couldn't help but be a little short of breath, looked at her fiancé who was a little nervous in front of her, and nodded.

"Hmm. I promise you. She replied.

It was the last thing she said to him.

After the banquet, Zhu Luan took the palace maid and the guards back to the other garden. During the autumn hunt, although this annex was assigned to her to live, she had always lived in the big tent with the queen of heaven, and only occasionally lived here.

After being persuaded to drink some wine at the banquet, Zhu Luan felt a little bitter and sent the maid to buy pine nut candy.

She waited alone in the garden.

But in the end, Zhu Luan didn't wait for Duan Haochu, what he was waiting for was the boundless fire and his own death.

That night, did Duan Haochu come in the end?

If he came, what did he see?

Zhu Luan thought quietly, only to feel the blood in his chest surging, and couldn't help but gasp slightly.

This is a precursor to the concussion.

Zhu Luan tried to calm his breathing and no longer thought about things related to Duan Haochu.

The more I try to forget, the more I remember it.

"Sister Huang, are you okay?" Looking at the slightly undulating chest of the girl beside her, Princess Jinyang, who was on the side, asked worriedly.

"I should have told you about it sooner," she said apologetically, "but I'm not sure you'll be happy about it, so I haven't been able to speak." ”

"I'm fine." Zhu Luan shook his head lightly, looking at his sister with a complicated expression in front of him, and didn't know what to say for a while.

There was a real sense of anxiety in those beautiful eyes that seemed to be a godsend.

"He must be crazy." After being silent for a long time, Zhu Luan squeezed out this sentence from between his teeth.

"I can't say that." Princess Jinyang looked at the girl in front of her. Zhu Luan lowered her head, long green silk flowed down from her ears, Princess Jinyang couldn't see her expression clearly, but she knew that her imperial sister was in a bad mood now.

If it is an ordinary woman, she must be moved and cry with joy when she hears that her fiancé insisted on marrying her after her accidental death and has not continued for ten years.

But Princess Jinyang instinctively felt that her royal sister would not think so.

But at the same time, she didn't understand why the imperial sister would resist such a thing so much.

As the saying goes, Lu Yao knows that horsepower will see people's hearts for a long time, and time is the best evidence, even if countless people suspected that Duan Haochu had other intentions, but now, they have all shut their mouths.

Because ten years have passed, Duan Haochu is still Princess Yingluan's concubine.

Ten years of nominal colts.

"Sister Huang, Duan Haochu is indeed very obsessed with you." After a moment of silence, Princess Jinyang said.

"Really?" Zhu Luan raised her eyes to look out the window, and replied in a light voice, as if she was laughing at herself and sighing, her breathing had regained her calmness, the fingers of her hands hanging down by her side moved slightly, and the sound dissipated into the air with the curling sandalwood.

……

……

Duanfu.

Duan Lizheng's study was very tidy, and seeing Duan Zhiyun happily walking towards his room with a gift, the two brothers glanced at each other, a smile appeared on the corner of their mouths, and they sat down across the low table.

The maid brought tea and refreshments and went down, leaving only the two brothers to sit opposite each other in the study.

"Brother, why did you come back all of a sudden? Is there no problem on the business side? After the two of them sat down, Duan Lizheng asked.

"Your Majesty and I took leave." Duan Haochu slowly picked up the teacup and drank it in one go.

"It seems that my brother is in a hurry," Duan Lizheng stared at his brother, "Why the hell?" ”

Duan Haochu looked at his younger brother with a solemn face and smiled.

"For your marriage." Duan Haochu said seriously, pointing to his younger brother who was sitting opposite him.

"My marriage?" Duan Lizheng asked in astonishment, "When am I going to get married?" ”

"Was it so sudden? You're that old too. Duan Haochu stretched out his hand, looked at his younger brother in front of him, and brought the tea in front of him to his hand.

"In Shendu before, didn't there often be matchmakers who wanted to kiss you?" A playful smile appeared on Duan Haochu's face and quipped.

"Half of the matchmakers who come to the door to say goodbye want to persuade the eldest brother to continue your string." The surprise on Duan Haochu's face only lasted for a short moment, and when he heard Duan Haochu's joke, he immediately retorted.

Duan Haochu fell silent.

Duan Lizheng realized that he had just been a little unscrupulous.

"I'm sorry, big brother." He apologized.

"It's okay," Duan Haochu sighed inaudibly, looked at Duan Lizheng and smiled, "What you said is the truth. ”

"Big brother, was your mother calling you back?" Duan Lizheng changed the subject.

Duan Haochu nodded and replied, "Yes, it is said that your marriage has encountered a little trouble and needs me to come back to deal with it immediately." ”

Duan Lizheng's brows furrowed, staring at Duan Haochu, obviously the eldest brother didn't want or couldn't explain the specific reason to him, and his mother had never told him about his marriage in person, remembering Mr. Nanshan's flickering words before, Duan Lizheng's eyes narrowed slightly.

"Big brother, I don't want to get married now." Duan Lizheng looked at Duan Haochu and said bluntly.

"Oh?" Duan Lizheng asked, "Then when do you want to get married?" His expression was calm, as if he had expected Duan Lizheng to say this.

"At least until I get the Jinshi and get the fame," Duan Lizheng said with a straight face, "just like the eldest brother did back then." ”

Duan Haochu was silent again.

"Like me?" After a moment of silence, Duan Haochu said in a low voice, and then looked at Duan Lizheng with some relief.

"If you really grow up, you will threaten your big brother."

Duan Lizheng stared at his brother with a complicated expression.

The eldest brother is like a father, Duan Lizheng's father has passed away, and in addition to his mother Qin, there is only the current head of the Duan family, who is almost twice as old as his eldest brother Duan Haochu.

But it's a pity that his brother didn't teach him a position on marriage.

"I don't want to force you," Duan Haochu looked at Duan Lizheng, "But now the continuation of the Duan family's bloodline depends on you." It's normal for Madame to be anxious. Duan Haochu said lightly.

"It's been ten years." Duan Lizheng's expression also became cold, "So eldest brother, are you ready to never marry another wife for the rest of your life?" ”

"Since I decided to marry her back then, I was ready for this." Duan Haochu said with a smile.

"Big brother, you ...... Have you ever regretted it? Duan Lizheng stared into his brother's eyes and asked.

"How can you regret it," Duan Haochu stared at his palm, a satisfied smile bloomed on his face, and his mellow voice echoed quietly in the study.

"After all, she was born as my person, and death as my ghost."
