Chapter 196 The Past Has Turned to Dust
Chu Ruojun didn't know how she went back.
It seems that she is alone, lonely and cold, as if she is covered in cold snow, and she is alone.
When the guards of the General's Mansion saw her, they were shocked and greeted her in disbelief.
Her clothes were disheveled, her eyes were glazed, and the corners of her mouth were bloodshot, she was still beautiful, but she had lost her soul in the hollow, only her skin.
"Miss is back, Miss is back!" Bai Zhi helped the old lady trot all the way, and saw the tall and slender figure outside the door at a glance.
"Ruojun..... Ruojun, you're finally back....." The old lady held her hand tightly, her eyes reddened.
Everyone couldn't help but sigh.
Chu Ruojun clenched her hand, and her voice was a little hoarse: "Grandma, I'm sorry for worrying you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay." The old lady had burst into tears unconsciously, "Ruojun, are you okay?" ”
"I'm fine." Chu Ruojun tried hard to squeeze out a smile, and in the hazy eyes of tears, she smiled: "I avenged my brother." ”
Everyone in the General's Mansion was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then burst into unprecedented cheers.
"The eldest young master is also blinded under Jiuquan." The old man in the Chu family said, with two lines of turbid tears in his eyes.
"Miss, you're doing so well, you're amazing." Bai Zhi couldn't stand Peng Pai's new trend, but as he spoke, he was already choked up.
Chu Ruojun tugged at the corners of her mouth, "Finally waited for this day." ”
"Silly girl....." the old lady scolded, "you are really scared to death grandma, your father won't let you take revenge, you don't listen, you him all day long, and you are imprisoned in prison, whoever thinks you will be." ”
The old lady's face was already full of smiles.
It took a while for their emotions to calm down.
Chu Ruojun was eating at the table, talking about what happened tonight, as if she was just telling someone else's story.
Overnight, a huge wave was set off in the palace, and everything was overthrown, destroyed, and started anew.
The old lady sighed faintly, no wonder this girl took revenge, and she looked like she had lost her soul, it turned out that the emperor killed herself.
Since ancient times, there has been a lot of affection and hatred, feelings...... It really couldn't hurt more.
"I'm full." Chu Ruojun put down her chopsticks, her face expressionless.
"Ah, just eat a little bit, Miss, you can eat a little more." Bai Zhi couldn't help but comfort.
The old lady coughed, Bai Zhi suddenly flattened her mouth, and her tone became soft, "Miss, the bath water has been boiled." ”
Chu Ruojun nodded quietly.
Then he walked towards his room.
The old lady sighed and shook her head, seeing that Bai Zhi looked like she was going to catch up, and hurriedly said, "Let her be alone." ”
Bai Zhi had no choice but to pause, looking at her with worried and expressioned eyes.
The young lady is too thin.
Chu Ruojun stretched out her hand to test the water, there was still a layer of petals floating on the water, she smiled, where did she get the flowers from in this weather.
She sank herself into the hot water and counted all the scars on her body, her skin was fine, some of the scars had begun to fade, leaving shallow marks, and in a little while, they would be smoothed.
Including the scar in her heart.
She looked at the round and full palace sand on her arm, and her heart was cold, this scar was taken from blood for medicine, in order to save Empress Dowager Liu, this scar was the only woman in Chen Guo who knew martial arts, fighting against the envoy of Jin State, this small scar, I can't remember, it should be left on the battlefield......
Chu Ruojun counted and counted, and when she looked back, she was already standing in an unprecedented place.
......
Overnight, the entire government and the opposition were shocked and shocked the whole country.
The death of the emperor, the Empress Dowager Liu, the queen, and Zuo Yuankun is just the beginning, and the killing and cleaning up the remnants of the party are far from over.
Prime Minister Zuo conspired with the Shao family to force the palace to seize the throne, the traitor Zuo Yuankun has already corrected the law on the spot, the Zuo family is heinous, punishing the nine clans, and the Shao family is full of beheading.
All those who participated in the conspiracy of officials in the court were all over the house.
Those who spread rumors and make trouble with the people, those who discuss in vain, will be killed.
The emperor unfortunately died and was buried next to the mausoleum of the first emperor.
Emperor Taishang ascended the throne and made his prince the crown prince.
And the Lin family, the Chu family, have meritorious service in pacifying the traitors, and they are rewarded with rewards.
Princess Zhaoyang pleaded guilty, although she was the princess, she had married into the Zuo family, and asked the emperor to remove the princess status and demote her to a concubine.
In just a few days, the government and the opposition have undergone tremendous changes.
And Chu Ruojun's whole person seemed to be hollowed out, rarely talking, rarely eating, indifferent to everything, and the whole person seemed particularly cold.
Every time I think of that person's voice and smile, I can't sleep all night.
His name was like a thorn in his heart, oozing blood.
She pulled out the pouch, which contained his green silk.
The bleak night breeze, the faint moonlight was hazy, and it was quiet outside, but Chu Ruojun felt that it was snowing.
She pushed open the window, and a snowflake drifted in.
Now, she can no longer express the emotion of "so beautiful".
In the faint moonlight, a light smile tugged at her lips, then she went back to put on her clothes, and quietly walked under the largest pear tree in the backyard, digging desperately with a wooden stick until the corner of the box was exposed, and then dropped the branches and planed them by hand.
Brushing away the soil on the box, the glass flower inside is still so beautiful and intoxicating.
She glanced lightly, put the bag in as well, re-closing, and buried them deep in the cold black earth once more.
Bury a past.
A glimmer of white light faintly appeared in the sky, Chu Ruojun clapped her hands, walked to the stable and led a horse out.
This time there was no carriage, and there was no fluttering son, only her, wearing a thin cotton coat, and suddenly felt a cool breeze hitting her heart, and she was penetrating to the bones.
The plum blossoms of the Red Plum Valley are still scorching, and they are as red as blood.
Chu Ruojun sat in the snow, thinking about the elegance of his late-night, the elegance of his stepping on the snow to find plums, and the raising of his eyebrows and lips, as if he had brought boundless spring color, and fascinated her lifelong dream.
She could see that until the sky was bright, she still did not return to her senses, her eyes were not bright, as if she was looking at plum blossoms, but she seemed to be looking at other things through red plums.
The plum blossoms seem to have two happy figures swimming in the sea of flowers, flying around on the branches, smiling innocently, not stained with dust.
Chu Ruojun couldn't cry or laugh, got up suddenly, clenched the sword in his hand and rushed to the depths of the plum blossom forest.
She seemed to be crazy, holding the hilt of the sword and sweeping the sword, venting with all her might, where the sword blade went, the plum blossom trees fell neatly, and it didn't take long for her to damage a lot of the surroundings.
She stood in the redness of fire and blood, and saw a figure, staring at her from afar.
There was a heartbreak in the look in his eyes as he looked at him.
When the breeze blows, the flying hair is a little more free.
They were like this, one standing in the snow and the other in the red plum, looking at each other for a long time.
Since the shocking change in the palace, Chu Ruojun no longer asks anything about the outside world, and locks herself in a small square.
I didn't expect her to meet him when she came out.
After a moment of silence, the figure suddenly rushed towards her, she was startled, and subconsciously raised her sword to meet it, the man dodged her move sideways, and the figure flickered, and took half a step back, separated from her by a person.
The man pulled out a soft sword from his waist, and under the red plum ice and snow, the blade of the sword seemed to have firelight flowing, and the man's eyes were even hotter than fire.
Chu Ruojun only felt a shock in his heart, how could he still be alive?
Lian Ying didn't expect Chu Ruojun to come here, he fled from the palace, he wanted to stay where he was, kill those who forced the palace to avenge the emperor, who expected that God would hang the curtain so much and send this and that person to him alive.
Silence, can only be silence, his master is gone, he stays, there must be something to do, as the royal guard, this life has long been royal, how can there be a reason to live.
Lian Ying saw that Chu Ruojun was silent for a long time, and couldn't help but sneer coldly: "Do you remember here?" ”
Chu Ruojun was still silent.
Lian Ying's eyes gradually became cold, and the strength of the soft sword in his hand grew, "Miss Chu, I didn't expect that we would meet in this form." ”
"I didn't expect you to be alive." Chu Ruojun said suddenly.
Lian Ying's hands tightened, and he suddenly sneered and asked, "Do you think that only you can live?" ”
"Since you escaped, I won't report you, let's treat it as if we met." Chu Ruojun said expressionlessly.
Lian Ying stared at her quietly for a moment, and snorted coldly, "Why is the emperor dead, and you can still live so without burden?" ”
Before Chu Ruojun could speak, Lian Ying was already trembling, "Do you know that he was seriously ill at that time, and he kept reciting your name, even if he died, he asked you to turn around, don't look at it." ”
The tip of the sword pointed at her chest, "You, like those women who are greedy for vanity, you don't love Your Majesty at all!" ”
Chu Ruojun looked at him in astonishment, speechless.
"Empress Shao has done a lot of evil in her life, but she only loves Her Majesty alone in her life." Lian Ying was short of breath, her body trembled, and she continued to complain: "But what about you, not only did you have an affair with Lin Changtian, but also sacrificed your enemy, how did you get Your Majesty's love!" What face do you have to survive in the world! ”
Word by word, full of resentment.
Chu Ruojun's heart ached, "The reason why Shen Yi has come to this day is not because the Shao family sent people to intercept and kill the returning prisoners of war, isn't it because she went to rob the newborn little prince, she is the amulet, she has done so many wrong things, it is not a self-inflicted forgiveness, she has today, it is completely self-inflicted." ”
Lian Ying pursed her lips and cast a heavy gaze at her.
"You don't have to quibble." Lian Ying glared at her angrily, "If you love Your Majesty, you should go with him." ”
"Dreaming!" Chu Ruojun raised her head, "In my life, I have never lived for anyone. ”
Lian Ying gasped and looked at her with great disappointment, her eyes were like broken glass, and she was even a little tearful: "I'm really not worth it for Your Majesty." ”
"Doesn't Your Majesty like you, I'll send you to accompany Your Majesty." In an instant, the sword in his hand was like a silver serpent with a gloomy chill towards her chest.
Chu Ruojun's gaze flickered, as if a flame was ignited, and he sideways avoided the soft sword that stabbed at him.
The fierce wind blew violently, rolling up the sky with fiery red.
The sword aura struck people, and the Red Plum Valley was full of murderous intent.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them have passed more than a dozen moves, and they are still inseparable, a black and a blue figure is entangled, if there are outsiders at this time, they must only see two colors.
Lian Ying escaped from the palace, his body was injured, and he could see his unnaturalness in a few moves, and it didn't take long for a little blood to drip out of the black robe, but it was not clear for a while in the broken plum petals all over the ground.
Lian Ying's brows were furrowed, and her body gradually slowed down, if she kept entangled with her, she would definitely lose the upper hand.
Only a single blow can be fatal.
Lian Ying gritted her teeth, and suddenly flipped in the air, and a sword slashed towards Chu Ruojun's head.
Only by attacking with maximum strength can you inflict maximum damage on the enemy.
The power of this sword caused the petals on the tree to fall one after another, like a downpour of blood.
Chu Ruojun sneered, the soft petals that fell in front of her had become the best weapon, only to hear the sound of the volley cutting through the skin, the flying petals scraped out blood holes on his face, making him a little twisted in pain, but it still did not reduce the power of the sword.
Just listen to the sound of "ding", the metal collides, and sparks fly.
Chu Ruojun held the sword across his head with both hands, blocking his head-on slash with the death light.
The two were deadlocked, Lian Ying continued to increase the strength of his subordinates, and his tense cheeks looked extremely distorted.
Lian Ying felt that she was just a woman, even if she practiced martial arts since she was a child, she would not be able to hold it sooner or later.
Chu Ruojun's reason at this time had been detached from her brain, she only knew that she couldn't resist, but she couldn't withdraw from his sword at this time.
