Chapter Ninety-Four: Affection

Chu Luo suddenly stared at Chang'an, his eyes had a trace of sadness, and even more scorching red anger.

He suddenly approached her, with a chill on his face, but more than that, it was infinitely sentimental, "Chang'an, I always thought that no matter what happened, you were sincere to me, could it be that I was wrong now?" ”

Chang An smiled coldly, but his eyes looked at him like broken ice, "The concubine and the king of Jiangling have no selfish relationship, if the emperor insists on not believing it, then the concubine has nothing to say." ”

"No selfish feelings?" The corners of Chu Luo's lips had a cold arc, and his voice suddenly became fierce, "At first, when they told me, I didn't believe it. Even if I met the ninth brother in your dormitory that day, I chose to believe you. But now, you actually have his tokens, this pile, one by one, how do you explain it?! ”

Chu Luo's words were like sharp blades, scraping into Chang'an's eardrums. She almost wanted to be clear, but when the words came to her mouth, they stopped abruptly.

There is nothing to say, there is no more to say for a long time.

The estrangement between her and Chu Luo is no longer a day or two, and she can almost give up everything for him. But now, he can't trust her.

"The concubine again, there is no selfish relationship between the concubine and the king of Gangneung."

After speaking, a long silence swept over the world.

He clenched his fists fiercely, for a long time, and then loosened slightly.

It seemed like a long, long time, and it seemed to be just a smooth ride, and she could hear the sound of him slowly leaving, mixed with the rustling of the leaves outside the window.

Chang'an saw Hanyan and Wanxiang kneeling beside Chu Luo, crying and begging him, but they were pushed away by Cheng Dehai.

The door of the temple closed behind her, and with it all the affection between the two men.

It turned out that everything she had done was in vain.

It's been ten years.

Everything she expected, all the eternity, all the affection, in the end, was just her obsession.

The wind and dust are exhausted, and I am tired of combing my hair day and night. Things are people, and they don't have to do anything, and tears flow first.

Chang'an sat on the ground with his knees limp, only to let the tears flow freely.

The fragrance in the Mingde Palace is wafting, and the emperor has been in a bad mood in recent days, and he always loses his temper for no reason. At night, he did not turn over any of the concubine's signs, and only allowed the queen and Zhong Zhaoyuan to serve in front of the palace. Even the great eunuch, who has always been close to Cheng Dehai, can't help but avoid him for self-preservation.

Cheng Dehai stood in the hall, squinted his eyes, stared into the distance, looked at a pair of figures not far away, and his heart jumped suddenly.

The emperor sat on the top and held the imperial pen, but he did not drop a word for a long time. Cheng Dehai involuntarily pinched a handful of cold sweat, looked at the queen as if asking for help, and said softly, "Your Majesty, Niangniang, the king and princess of Jiangling are here." ”

When Chu Luo heard this, the pen and ink in his hand suddenly stagnated, and the big drops of ink fell on the paper, his face became colder and colder, and in the end, it was terrifying. Seeing this, the queen hurriedly snatched the pen and ink from his hand, and Wen Yan instructed outward, "Please let them in." ”

Chu Ying and Su Wanying entered together, but they looked extremely distant from each other. The queen saw it in her eyes, but she was already shocked in her heart. She glanced at the emperor, and saw that his face was still gloomy and silent, so she spoke first, "The prince and the princess have also had a hard time on the road. Cheng Dehai, go and serve a good pot of tea to the prince and princess. ”

After saying that, she turned to look at Su Wanying, and said, "This is the first time the princess has entered the palace, wait for the palace to go around with you." ”

When Su Wanying heard this, she couldn't help but raise her head in fear and said, "Why bother the queen mother to be so powerful, Wanying will go and see for herself." ”

The queen smiled slightly, "It just so happens that the palace is a little tired of sitting, and it is just right to go out to visit the garden together, and the princess should accompany the palace, okay?" ”

Wan Ying's face turned red and lowered her head, "If the queen is interested, it would be great." ”

The queen smiled, and when she got up, she suddenly heard the emperor's gentle words, "The queen has a heart." ”

The queen's heart warmed, and she unconsciously pursed her lips and smiled, "It is the responsibility of the concubines to share the worries of the emperor." ”

The emperor's frowning brows stretched slightly, he shook her hand, and said in a heavy and slow voice, "Shushen, thank you for your hard work." ”

This sentence of hard work almost forced the queen's tears out. She is already thirty years old, a mother of two children, and when she heard the emperor's words again, she still couldn't help but be moved.

As long as it's for him, there's not much to do.

She got up gently, went out with Su Wanying, and when she left, she deliberately retreated from the palace people.

At that time, in the main hall, only the two brothers Chu Luo and Chu Ying remained.

For many years, the two had not been in the same room like this.

In the year of his father's death, Chu Ying was only nine years old. Sixteen-year-old Chu Luo held his hand like this, and followed the team of the emperor's relatives behind the coffin, the funeral procession saw the beginning and the end, and the two brothers were silent, but unconsciously, they had a sense of coexistence that depended on each other.

He was Chu Luo's youngest brother and his proudest brother.

But the Han sky is vast, the prosperous past, even if there is a lifetime of fame, at this moment, it can't withstand the company of red faces.

"Brother ...... Emperor"

Chu Ying let out a deep voice, and before the words fell, a white jade rolled down to his feet, Chu Luo's voice was indeed indifferent and cold, "Pick it up." ”

The moment Chu Ying bent down, he saw the appearance of the white jade pendant clearly, and his heart suddenly jumped violently.

"What did you have in mind when you gave this to the concubine?"

Chu Luo's tone was as cold as ice, and a cold light appeared between his eyebrows and eyes, which did not match his warm face at all.

"The younger brother lost this jade pendant a few days ago, maybe it's ......"

"She's already admitted."

"What?" Chu Ying's voice was slightly dumbfounded.

"She told me everything about you."

Chu Ying stared slightly, and a cold smile suddenly appeared on his lips, "Between the courtier brother and the concubine, nothing happened, how can the imperial brother start?" ”

When Chu Luo heard this, his eyebrows furrowed heavily, "You said no, and the concubine also said no, but someone saw it with their own eyes, and the human and material evidence is there, how can you let me believe it?" ”

Chu Ying's eyes instantly lost their mild temperature, and he suddenly smiled and said, "The people around the imperial brother have other thoughts and deliberately frame him, if the imperial brother easily listens to him, he will naturally fall into the trap of others." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chu Luo's heart was stunned.

He was slightly surprised, but he still refused to be easily convinced, "If you say that you have nothing to do with the concubine, how can you explain this jade pendant?" ”

"The younger brother just said that when he was in the palace the month before last, he accidentally lost the jade pendant, and it is unknown if the concubine picked it up. Now, the younger brother has to thank the royal brother for returning the things to the original owner. Chu Ying groaned slightly, his heart moved, and he suddenly smiled, "Besides, the younger brother is a person who already has a family, and the imperial brother misunderstands the younger brother and the concubine so much, and he really wronged Wan Ying." ”

After saying that, he bowed his head slightly, and was about to retreat from Chu Luo's body as if nothing had happened, but he heard a cold voice suddenly sound behind him.

"Chu Ying, anyone can do it, it's Shen Changan alone, you can't think about her for half a minute."

Chu Ying's face was cold, and he didn't say a word, and strode away.

As soon as he went out, he saw Su Wanying standing under the porch, looking at him with bright eyebrows.

The corner of Chu Ying's eyes swept to the long figure cast behind him, and he already knew it in his heart. He walked quickly to Wan Ying's side, used his body to block the direct sunlight for her, and said softly, "Why are you standing here?" ”

"The prince has been gone for so long, and the concubine is worried about the prince's ......" Wan Ying lowered her head slightly, her eyes confused and didn't know where to look.

Chu Ying chuckled, and pityfully pulled the broken hair that fell down for her, with affection in her eyes, "Don't stand here, let's go, let's go back to the palace." ”

Wan Ying nodded vigorously, she took Chu Ying's hand, leaned on his side, and walked away.

Chu Luo stood at the moment, looking at the backs of the two of them leaving next to each other, and there was a layer of sadness in his heart.

Chuluo, Chang'an.

It seems that at this time, he held her hand, her face was full of spring smiles, he looked at her, and smiled warmly.

The memories that had been little by little suddenly surged into Chu Luo's heart at this moment. Pile by pile, piece by piece, it is extremely clear.

He couldn't remember, but he never remembered.

In an instant, unspeakable guilt welled up in his heart.

When Chu Luo came to the Chonghua Palace, the door was empty, and there was no palace person.

He went further inside and saw the cold smoke.

Han Yan was slightly stunned, and immediately leaned down, "The emperor is blessed." ”

He nodded slightly, and his tone was gentle, "Is Chang'an inside?" ”

Han Yan's heart was shocked, and he suddenly remembered that when he first entered the palace that year, the emperor came to Chonghua Hall every day, and the first thing he said when he saw him was like this.

But it's been so many years.

The flowers are similar every year, but the people are different every year.

Thinking like this, Han Yan bowed his head quietly, and said in a deep voice, "The master is inside." ”

In the hall, Chang'an was playing chess alone.

Since Chu Luo left Chonghua Hall that day, no one has been here for a long time.

At this time, she suddenly heard movement, and she suddenly looked back, but what she saw was not a person of hope.

She would rather not be him, rather not.

"Chang'an." He lowered his voice and called to her softly.

She just turned around and landed a sunspot alone, "You can go." ”

"Are you still weird? Today, I saw the ninth brother, and he made it clear to me......" Chu Luo leaned down and kissed her lightly on the cheek, Chang'an turned to avoid it, and there was no trace of warmth in his eyes, "I said, you can go." ”

"Chang'an ......"

"I don't want to see you."

She didn't look up, not for a moment. Her gaze fell fixedly on the chessboard, but it seemed that she wanted to see through the chessboard, and her cold tone made his heart tremble.

"Chang'an!"

Chu Luo's voice was not normal, it was mixed with a little anger in it. Chang'an heard it clearly.

Suddenly, she felt that her whole life revolved around him. From the day she entered the palace, she had not slept soundly for a day. Even if he slept next to him, there was no moment of peace of mind. She is always suffering from gains and losses, and is afraid that he will go to someone else in the next second. He had so many options, and she was the only one.

It's too tiring to live these days.

"You go, don't come again." Finally, without any words, Chang'an stood up and left slowly. She hadn't looked at him the whole time.

She thought she would shed tears, but she didn't. It turned out that my heart was so painful that I couldn't shed a single tear.

She stood quietly in the present, looking at everything that had been, watching Chang'an and Chu Luo when they were young drift apart, and finally disappeared at a certain end.

How could I have thought that such a crazy love would also have a peaceful day.

On that day, she didn't know how Chu Luo left Chonghua Palace, she only knew that the moment he left, he took all the glory of Chonghua Palace.
