The wind on a spring night is really cool.

Especially in such a remote place.

"Why did you save me?" Chu Peiyuan woke up in a daze, and there was a blurry black shadow in front of him. Before his consciousness was completely lost, he remembered that someone had broken into the prison and killed many Yu Lin Guards to rescue him. Then he fainted, and if it weren't for the cold wind, he probably wouldn't have woken up.

"Haven't you been looking for me!" The moment she spoke, she clearly saw Chu Peiyuan's eyes light up.

"It's you, it's a pity, you're finally back." Chu Peiyuan couldn't help but get excited, he struggled to hug her, only to find that he was tightly tied. "Come on, you're ......"

The woman walked up to him and sat down on the ground, shoulder to shoulder with him. "Why are you so desperate to find me?"

"Why?" Chu Peiyuan didn't think about this problem, he frowned and said: "I'm worried that something is wrong with you, the queen's people have gone to the outer house, I'm afraid she will be unfavorable to you." Besides, I finally reunited with you, and I don't want to lose you. In the days to come, I hope to be with you and never be separated. Come to pity, no, Qu Yu, I don't want to and can't lose you again, so whether it's the queen, the Chu family, or anyone, we can't be a stumbling block that hinders us from being together. ”

The woman listened to him, lowered her head, and her shoulders trembled slightly.

"Don't be upset." Chu Peiyuan wanted to reach out and hug her into his arms, but unfortunately he was tied very tightly, and he couldn't break free at all. "Can you untie me first?"

She looked up, but there was only a smile in her eyes. It was a sarcastic laugh, a shameful laugh, as if the person she saw was a fool.

When he met her eyes, Chu Peiyuan was a little surprised. "You...... How do you ......"

"Why am I not crying, am I?" She hooked her lips slightly, and there was only a coldness in her eyes: "Why am I crying?" Why should I stay with you? Chu Peiyuan, you said you wanted to marry me, but you couldn't do it. Why should I stay with you now? With you, what can you give me? The wandering life of the four seas as a family, or the instability of avoiding the Chu family's royal outlaws? ”

Qu Yu ...... What are you talking about? Chu Peiyuan could hear every word in her mouth clearly, but it was coherent, and he really didn't know what it meant.

"Chu Peiyuan, I want to tell you that I won't be with you." She looked at him with a firm look in her eyes, and said word by word in a particularly sonorous voice: "I have never liked you." No, in other words, I used to want to marry you, but only once. ”

"Qu Yu ......" Chu Peiyuan looked at her with a panicked expression: "What are you talking about?" You let go of me, I ......"

"Listen." Her tone was slightly heavy, and her face was tense: "You are good to me, although I am not rare, but I don't want you to waste your efforts." So, before you die, I will tell you everything so that you can die and understand. ”

Chu Peiyuan looked at her in disbelief, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

"I am mercy, mercy from heaven. I am the secret whistle of the current Queen Mother, and I am a meticulous work. Approaching you, it was the Queen Mother who gave me the first task. Because the phoenix throne of the first emperor was hidden in the Chu family at that time, the queen mother ordered me to find out the identity of this person. So, I took the pseudonym Qu Yu and used you to complete this task. The queen's mother, Mrs. Cen, was the one who exposed her identity, and the queen mother was able to get rid of this thorn in her side. And from beginning to end, your presence is just a move to help me achieve this goal. I have to thank you, it is you who have allowed me to stand out from the many fine works and become the most trusted person of the Queen Mother, so that I can be reused. ”

"What are you talking about......" Chu Peiyuan's mind was buzzing, that familiar face, the face that had haunted him for many years, looked so strange at this moment.

"I cheated to death, and it is also necessary to confess after completing the task." Cang Lian smiled and said: "Because next, the Queen Mother gave me another task, that is, to get close to the current emperor, her biological son, I used the pseudonym Zi Xuan, and once again relied on my beauty and means to complete the task assigned by the Queen Mother." It's just that this time, I couldn't get out of it, I fell in love with the emperor......"

"Qu Yu, then what do you think of me?" Chu Peiyuan trembled violently, the most beloved woman, used a knife to cut a hole in his appreciation, the bright red blood kept gushing out, and he already felt the fear of dying. But more fear came from her.

"Didn't I say it, when I first approached you, I thought about being the wife of the young general of the Chu family. But the people of your Chu family dislike my background one by one and think that I am not worthy of being with you. Mind if I'm in the dust, but that's just a way for me to disguise my identity. From you, I have seen the warmth and coldness of human affection, and I have tasted bitterness and despair. If I marry you, I will suffer such white eyes, and you can't even control your own family, let alone my future. What power do you have to protect me from being sent by the Queen Mother? Maybe in the eyes of others, you are a young and promising young man with a solid family background, but in my eyes, you are just a useless wreck. ”

Speaking of this, Cang Lian couldn't help but be a little excited: "This time, it's okay if I come back to you, you just bought me a foreign house." I don't even dare to call me Qu Yu, and I deceive myself and call me a pity! Seriously, Chu Peiyuan, I feel sick when I hear your voice. If it weren't for me being tracked down by the Queen Mother, I wouldn't be willing to be your concubine and be raised by you in that kind of place to please you. That's why I've been refusing to let you touch it, I don't like you at all, you don't want to be delusional anymore. ”

Chu Peiyuan suddenly remembered Cen Muning's words, and laughed dumbly. "So I'm a fool in your eyes."

"Yes." Cang Lian nodded without hesitation. "You're a fool. If you weren't willing to accept me, you wouldn't have let me find out that the queen's mother was Feng Wei, and you wouldn't have given me a chance to make meritorious contributions. I originally wanted you to be kept in the dark until you died, but when I think of the humiliation you have brought me, I have to let you know the truth. ”

"I'm bringing you humiliation?" Chu Peiyuan gritted his teeth and asked this sentence with difficulty.

"No matter how poor I am, I am also the one who wants to be the imperial concubine. followed you, not only did you not see the light, but you were almost sent away with silver by the queen's maidservant. Do you really think you're the only one in the world who is good to me? As everyone knows, your kindness is accompanied by only humiliation and contempt, every time I see you looking at me affectionately, I am disgusted and want to vomit! Chu Peiyuan, do you know how much I hate you! ”

Chu Peiyuan's tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, he bit his lip, and said with difficulty: "Why do you want to tell me?" Since you already want my life, why don't you let me die with the good things of the past? ”

"Because I hate you." Cang Lian's face was cold: "Except for the Queen Mother, only you know that I am Qu Yu in this world." And no one but you sees that I have no way back, and that I must take advantage of the lowliness of your existence. So you have to die. ”

"Let's do it." Chu Peiyuan was already desperate, he didn't want to listen to such ruthless words anymore, at this moment, he only felt guilty in his heart. Ashamed of the Chu family, ashamed of Cen Muning, and ashamed of his own life.

"Don't worry." Seeing him like this, Cang Lian only felt funny: "Young General Chu, who is in the wind in Yushu, actually has the heart to die. Do you know how funny you look? ”

"Qu Yu, are you so hard-hearted? I'm kind to you, you really don't have half a sense of it? Chu Peiyuan asked a little unwillingly. Is it true that all I have brought you is humiliation? Nothing else? ”

"Of course not." Cang Lian looked at him with a smile and gently stroked his face: "I didn't expect you to help me again after all." Your death can provoke the conflict between the Chu family and the royal family, make the queen lose support, and create an excellent opportunity for me to return to the emperor's side. In this way, you who are dead are more useful than you who are alive. Chu Peiyuan, your biggest misfortune is that you are blind, and you will not be able to distinguish between what is true and what is false. So, don't blame me for being ruthless, blame yourself for being stupid. ”

With a twist of his wrist, the dagger in his sleeve smoothly slid down his palm, and Cang Lian smiled mercilessly into his heart. "At dawn, your corpse will be carried into the Qingxuan Palace. I won't let you die in vain, don't worry. ”

I don't know if it's painful or cold, Chu Peiyuan trembled and slowly closed his eyes.

Disgusted, he pulled out his dagger and rubbed the blood on his clothes. "Die early and end it early, otherwise I will become the emperor's favorite woman in the future, but you come to the emperor to talk nonsense and slander my innocence, what should I do? The world is all his, how can he allow other men to have contaminated his women. If you and the queen fail to make a good relationship, then you can only take your life. ”

After saying that, she kicked Chu Peiyuan hard and left here happily.

"Ahh Cen Muning sat up straight suddenly, her hand brushed the table, and the teacup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

Bingling and Qingli were both shocked and hurriedly came in to take a look.

"Mother, are you alright?" Qing Li was worried: "It's not too early, why don't you go to bed and sleep, you always stay up like this and hurt your body." ”

"I just slept in a daze, but I seemed to dream that something had happened to Chu Peiyuan......" Cen Muning's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and the clothes on the back of her back were also wet against her skin, which really made her feel uncomfortable. That's it, ask someone to clean up this place, and bring another cup of tea. ”

"Yes." Bingling summoned a servant to come and clean up, and glanced at the sky again: "It's all this time, and there is still no news, where will people go?" ”

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard hurried footsteps outside.

The footsteps were getting closer and heavier, Cen Muning's heart was beating suddenly, and the whole person was not good: "Has the nightmare come true?" The good luck of the Chu family, I'm afraid it's exhausted. ”
