Lin Changtian walked to the official ship step by step, squatted at the position where Chu Ruojun fell into the water, and stretched out his hand tremblingly.

There was still white powder left on the ground, and beyond that, there was nothing.

The most painful thing about falling into the water is that there is no body to be seen, and there is no evidence that she is alive.

He scratched his hair in pain, and suddenly regretted why he didn't go to her.

Lin Changtian closed his eyes in a gloomy manner.

At some point, there was a faint sound of footsteps behind me.

Lin Changtian seemed to feel something, stood up and turned his head, and saw a pale and upright figure.

It's Shen Yi.

There was no expression on his face, no grief, no horror, just pale, almost transparent.

Lin Changtian opened his mouth and tried to say something, but found that he couldn't make a single sound at all.

Chu Ruojun died.

Impossible, even he didn't believe it.

She had experienced so much pain, she could even escape from the dark room, and the heavy snow that had not been encountered for decades could not help her, how could she die?

It must be...... A huge joke from heaven on him.

Shen Yi walked over step by step and stood still at the place where he fell into the water.

Someone brought a silver hairpin over, "Your Highness, Miss Chu's maid said that this is something given to her by His Royal Highness, and she used this to save the maid's life, the person is no longer there, Your Highness take it back and keep a thought." ”

Shen Yi picked up the silver hairpin that had no traces of blood, and there was still no expression on his face.

It's too quiet, he thought.

Shen Yi felt that he must be dreaming.

Closing his eyes, Chu Ruojun's smile at him was still so clear.

"Look, I didn't fall this time."

"You don't think you're disgusted with my wine."

"This is my first time cooking, and the red bean cakes I make are delicious, and they all say they are delicious, even if you don't like it, don't say it."

She, a girl with a stubborn personality, must not like this kind of life, so let's sneak away somewhere to play.

It must be so.

But it doesn't matter, I will definitely find you out, no matter where you run, heaven and earth, heaven and earth, heaven and sea, I will meet you again, say it, let's go play together, it's good.

Shen Yi gently hooked the corners of his lips, and laughter overflowed from his throat.

Within a few days, many people in Changping City knew that General Chu had lost his daughter.

In the court, even the emperor didn't have the courage to meet his gaze, perhaps because there were too many emotions condensed in those eyes, extremely dark and deep, and the whole body seemed to be surrounded by an oppressive mist, which made people lose the courage to approach him.

His gaze glanced at a face as pale as a serious illness, a tall and cold back.

It's just a girl, but she can worry so many people.

The emperor sighed in his heart, and said in front of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty: "General Chu, I know that you have lost your beloved daughter, and it is difficult to bear it for a while, so it is better to take a month's leave and go back to rest." ”

"Your Majesty." General Chu opened his mouth lightly, unwilling to say a word more.

After the next court, Lin Shuai and Lin Changtian specially went to the mansion to visit General Chu.

Lin Changtian had just stepped into the front yard, and in a trance, he seemed to see a soft and slender figure rushing towards him, with a good-looking smile on his face.

She was always like this, her martial arts had improved slightly, her eyes were full of surprise, bright enough to dispel all the gloom.

This girl...... It's so simple and straightforward, and it's clear to see the end.

Lin Changtian subconsciously stretched out his hands and wanted to touch her, but there was nothing.

Only the icy wind passed through the sleeves.

"Here you are, I remember what you threatened me yesterday."

"Are you having a convulsion?"

"Master is above, apprentice will give you tea."

Her voice, cheerful or angry, seemed to ring in his ears, but under his eyes, there was only an empty antechamber.

General Chu saw that they were coming, so he just led them into the front hall without saying a word, and the heaviness made people panic from the bottom of their hearts.

"General Chu, mourning, take care of your health." Lin Shuai comforted him, "In the future, what does General Chu plan to do?" ”

"I'm just a firefly, fighting against the Queen Mother and Shao Guogong, isn't it a mantis arm as a car." General Chu said in a low voice, "After Shao Zhuo went four years ago, I have already realized that what glory and wealth are just passing clouds, so I tried my best to restrain Ruojun's edge, and wanted her to live a safe and stable life, but I didn't expect it to be ......."

Before he could finish speaking, his tears fell unexpectedly.

Lin Changtian's eyebrows jumped, it was the first time he knew that the iron-clad general would also cry.

For the sake of his daughter, who died in vain.

"Now, I don't even have my last child." General Chu's pale lips trembled, and old tears flowed, "If I am alone, even if I am a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, I will avenge my child, but no, I still have a seventy-year-old mother, if I have an accident, how should she ......"

Lin Shuai sighed faintly, as if he wanted to say something, and in the end all the persuasion turned into a sigh.

And General Chu's old mother, knowing the news after Ruojun fell into the water, immediately fainted.

When she woke up, she asked if Chu Ruojun had found it, and everyone was silent.

The evasive attitude of the people let her know that the worst had happened.

She has watched her daughter-in-law, her grandson, and her granddaughter gone.

If the most painful thing in the world is for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person, no one can understand how sad and heartfelt it is to send three people away.

She has lived for more than seventy years, she has already lived enough, and if she can, she is willing to die instead of Ruojun.

......

Lin Changtian has been checking for a long time, and he has been checking non-stop, only in this way can he feel at ease and be worthy of his heart.

He's busy, he's busy, he's so busy that he doesn't even have time to grieve.

Shao Guogong pushed the matter cleanly and planted it all on the head of the dead Gao Shangshu, and it was his revenge that led to this disaster.

In addition to being angry, Lin Changtian could only feel angry.

He doesn't know how many times he has scolded Shao Guogong these days.

"Lin Changtian." Lin Shuai looked at the cold back of the man not far away, and his voice was hoarse, "I have understood everything I can understand, and I have asked everything I can ask, where are you going now?" ”

In the past two days, he accompanied Lin Changtian to interrogate many people, and all the witnesses, even the emperor, went to ask to see him, just for the matter of clerical transfer.

Even if Lin Changtian didn't want to admit it anymore, he had to accept the fact that Chu Ruojun was dead.

She died in that river, and there were many people who fell into the water, and there was no trace of their bodies, and perhaps, they were already full of fish bellies.

Everyone has come to terms with this fact.

Only Lin Changtian never believed it, although there was no reason, he was sure that Chu Ruojun was still alive......

For this reason, he has not rested for two days and two nights, just to look for any possible clues.

Lin Changtian stopped and looked back at him, his eyes were dark and deep, and any emotion that fell into it would be only a barren place.

Lin Shuai's heart palpitated involuntarily.

"I know you're in pain, but if Ruojun has a spirit in the sky, she won't want to see you like this." Lin Shuai opened his mouth hoarsely.

In the past few days, he has clearly seen this young man's deep affection for Chu Ruojun, and he has interpreted the word "infatuation".

If it is said that people are not infatuated with young people, but at this point, I am afraid that he will enter the demon barrier.

"Dad, I'll just go out for a walk." Lin Changtian said lightly, "However, there is no spirit in the sky, Ruojun is still alive, I am convinced." ”

After speaking, he turned around indifferently and strode towards the gate of the Lin Mansion.

Lin Shuai was still standing in place, sighing.

......

"Guest officer, the shop has closed, you should go back." When Xiao Er saw Lin Changtian, his voice choked as soon as he opened his mouth.

Lin Changtian raised his head drunkenly, "Go back, where should I go?" ”

"This ......," Xiao Er scratched his head, "Of course it's going home, it's so late, your family must be waiting for you." ”

"There's nowhere else to go." Lin Changtian held a smooth silk handkerchief in his hand and muttered to himself.

He drank too much, and all the things he didn't say in front of strangers in the past were revealed.

His voice was very sad: "I'm just a little uncomfortable, I don't believe it, she is still so young, she is the only girl in the world who is good-looking and knows martial arts, she is smart, babbling, and nosy, she doesn't care who is a dramatist, no matter who is a maid, she will protect a person, she is so good, so kind, how can she ......."

As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes.

Lin Changtian closed his eyes and muttered her name in a low voice: "Ruojun......"

Xiao Er's hands were trembling, and he gritted his teeth tightly, unable to bear to continue to emphasize the fact that everyone had already identified.

"Young Marshal Lin, I'll send you back." Xiao Erqiang held back his emotions and spoke hoarsely.

"No, I can go on my own." Lin Changtian propped up his body, got up from the table, and couldn't stand steadily, but he stubbornly took out the silver from his arms and put it in Xiao Er's palm, and when he looked up and skimmed him, he frowned suspiciously, "I seem to have seen you somewhere." ”

Xiao Er hurriedly lowered his head, half of his face was in the shadows, "You must have remembered wrong, remembered wrong." ”

"Heh......" Lin Changtian walked out slowly, "That's it." ”

After Lin Changtian left, Xiao Er packed up his things and returned to the backyard to rest.

He sat under a tree in the courtyard, holding a shriveled steamed bun in his hand, and his heart was very empty.

The next moment, the steamed bun in his hand was suddenly snatched away, and several people appeared in front of him, with a mocking face, "Oh, isn't this the Nine Desolations, the toad wants to eat swan meat, and he doesn't pee to see what he looks like, just you, a beggar, are not worthy of being a nursing home for others." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, Miss Chu is kind to me, I'm just grateful." Jiuhuang hurriedly grabbed the steamed bun: "Give it back to me, you give it back to me." ”

"Drink, I won't give it." The man threw the steamed bun to another person, and the other person threw it around in his hand, and when he saw that the Nine Desolations were about to grab it, he quickly threw it to the other person.

The last few people were tired of playing, and threw the steamed bun at his feet, "You just hold your steamed bun and do your spring and autumn dreams, Miss Chu is dead, already dead." ”

Jiuhuang didn't speak, picked up the steamed bun and put it in his arms, and couldn't help moistening his eyes.
