Remember [34 Chinese Network .] in one second, wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
"No...... Why didn't I see it at all? She suddenly felt a little more guilty in her heart.
She still remembered that after returning from Yuelao Temple, when Ming Yang saw her again, his expression was a little wrong, he always dodged when his eyes touched, and ran away when he saw her. She also thought it was because of the fight between him and Du Ercheng.
"Otherwise, what do you think I'm fighting with him for no reason?!" Du Ercheng snorted.
"I, I thought at the time, I thought he wrote ......" Du Ruo's voice gradually became like a mosquito, and he looked up at Du Ercheng's expression again, "Hehe...... Thought it was your name...... I'm angry with you like that, so I didn't interfere with it, I'm very open-minded and accept anything. ”
At that time, they were reading and having fun together.
Du Ercheng: "......"
He blew his nose and stared at the spot three times, pointed at her and said angrily: "You are really my second sister!" I'm going to tell my brother-in-law about this! ”
"Hey! Other! Later, didn't you reconcile with Ming Yang not long after? Du Ruo hurriedly grabbed him.
"He told me he was writing for fun, and I believed it! But I feel more and more that the way he looks at you is not right, the day you and your brother-in-law reconciled, I saw that he helped call a carriage, gave you silver, and sent you into the city! But after beating him and going into the city, I didn't see him as often. ”
Du Ruoxin said that she and Ming Yang had met a lot of times. But she didn't see at all that he liked her.
She is not a careless person either. If he really likes himself, how can he hide this feeling so deeply? She couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
Du Ercheng went into the cabin and called Song Ju'an.
But soon he came out again and said to Du Ruo: "My brother-in-law is talking to the steward who is in charge of transporting the silk this time, and I heard them discussing which wharf to unload from in Kyoto. Let's eat first! ”
It was getting dark, and the big boat continued to move on the river, but Du Ruo found that there seemed to be a few fewer boats following behind.
After falling asleep, she lay next to Song Ju'an, tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, her heart was full of things.
The full moon was bright and shining through the window, and the glow was like a layer of cold frost. The room she and Song Ju'an lived in on the ship was larger, and when she lay on his side, she could see his angular and somewhat cold face.
Just like that, he opened his eyes and watched him lie down for a while, Du Ruo suddenly turned over and sat up, climbed on top of him, pulled his obscene clothes, and called his name a few times.
"Do you want it?" He woke up from his sleep in a low, lazy voice.
It's very demagogic.
His palm slid and stroked her waist, and he wanted to sit up, but Du Ruo pressed it down.
Du Ruo immediately rejected him: "I don't want to, you can tell me clearly now, where was your home before you came to the Song family?" What for? Did you marry a wife and have children? What are you going to do in Kyoto? Otherwise, when you get to Kyoto, you sell me, and I'll help you count the money! ”
It's not like she hasn't seen his insidiousness.
"Shall we talk about it tomorrow? You don't want me to think. He lay there, his hands wandering over her.
Du Ruo thumped him on the chest, and grabbed his hand again, "You tell me the truth, you...... It can't be a prince, right? ”
He laughed, "No. ”
I really underestimated her, she really dared to think about it.
"That'...... Is it a prince? ”
"It's not."
"General?"
"It's not."
"Which family in Kyoto is the prince of a wealthy family?"
"Not really."
"And who are?"
"I'm a dead man." He said.
Du Ruo quickly went through it in his mind, picked and chosen, and came up with the answer: "The eldest prince? Or is it the second prince? Failed in the struggle for power and position, and faked his death to escape the pursuit? ”
It's all like this in the drama script, and she can see too many stories like this!
He laughed again and sighed, "I am Xiao Yu, who once served as the prime minister of our Chu State, a person who has committed a heinous crime of playing with power in the eyes of the world, of course, you also say the same about me, madam." ”
Du Ruo's body went limp, and he almost fell on top of him.
"You lied to me, didn't you?" She struggled.
"I didn't lie to you."
Du Ruo silently climbed down from him and stayed away from him.
Song Ju'an sat up, saw her reaction like this, sighed and said, "I knew it would scare you, if I had told you earlier, you would have stayed away from me, let alone go to Kyoto with me." ”
There were only the two of them in this room, and Du Ruo only felt a moment of panic and shock in his mind, and then fell into a state of confusion.
She muttered to herself, "No wonder...... No wonder the people who killed you are coming and going, the people who appear around you are also mysterious, and some of the things you do are unbelievable. ”
Song Ju'an leaned on the wooden board at the head of the bed and said 'um', which was in response to the two words she said.
"Then do you believe I'm a good person?" He asked.
"How do you tell me to believe?!" She reacted a little loudly, and then fell silent again.
"Actually...... What the storyteller says is true and false. He said slowly, "My parents died when I was young, and then I went to Kyoto to join my uncle, who should be a distant uncle. He was a local magistrate in Kyoto, named Yin Huai, and he treated me very well, like my own father. As rumored to say, I fell in love with my uncle's daughter, her name is Yin Huarong, who is now the concubine Rou Niangniang who favors the sixth palace. ”
"Is she really what you sent to the palace in order to seek a career? Did you really go to great lengths to get power? Du Ruo asked him eagerly.
She felt like she was in a dream at this time, in a trance, such an unbelievable thing would happen to her!
And the man she likes is the former prime minister Xiao Yu, who was scolded by the world for playing with power!
"It's okay for others to say that, these words will break my heart when they come out of your mouth." He whispered.
Du Ruo was silent.
After a pause, he continued: "Back then, we also really loved each other, and my uncle also intended to let us get married. Merely...... Later, when my uncle decided a case of fighting for land, he offended the nobles of Kyoto, and they found an excuse to put my uncle in prison, confiscate the family property, and drive all the family members out of the house......"
The person Yin Huai offended was Yang Wei, the maiden cousin of the emperor's favorite concubine Hui Fei at that time.
Yin Huai has always enforced the law impartially, and under great pressure, he sentenced the people to win. Unexpectedly, before half a month arrived, trouble followed.
"My uncle was afraid of dying of illness, and Huarong and I had nowhere to go, so while avenging my uncle, we temporarily lived in the inn. At that time, I was still too young and immature, and I didn't know anything about officialdom. He sneered, he was in vain about regaining justice.
There was no way to redress grievances everywhere, and he was just in time to take the exam, so he had to give up first.
That year, he took the first place in the general examination, and became the first in the first class in the palace examination.
"I thought I could finally get justice...... Song Ju'an's tone was calm, occasionally laughing, but also extremely cold, as if he had returned to the difficult days of the past.
"Wei Guogong heard about this from nowhere, and in order to win me over, he promised me to seek justice for my uncle's family, and recognized Huarong as his goddaughter. I took good care of us, and I went under his door. ”
"So...... You're starting to do bad things with him? Du Ruo asked.
He shook his head, "It didn't take long for Yang Wei to injure the three princes because of his horse, and the emperor was furious, and then found out that they accepted bribes, robbed people's land and other evil things, and the matter was handed over to the three princes. ”
Powerful people play conspiracy tricks to downplay it.
More than 100 lives of the Yang family were all lost in the middle of his sentence, and Concubine Hui fell out of favor. In exchange, the Duke of Wei sent Yin Huarong to the palace of the third prince, and the third prince sent her to the palace.
"Wei Guogong told me that Huarong was voluntary......"
Unable to believe it, he ran to ask her personally, and she said that she had indeed volunteered.
"Do you still love her?" Du Ruo asked him softly.
After a moment of silence, he said, "She has changed, she has become completely unrecognizable to me, and I love her from a long time ago...... I later suspected that Wei Guogong had wooed me at the beginning, and he was coming towards Huarong. ”
The purpose is to send her to the palace and accompany the emperor.
Du Ruo was silent.
No wonder Qin Rui said something strange to her when she mentioned Concubine Rou. It turned out that Song Ju'an had a great deal to do with her.
"Don't sit, lie down, it's too cold on the water at night." His voice softened, and he held out his hand to her.
"I ...... I ......" she hesitated, and although she seemed to have calmed down, there was still some apprehension in her heart.
Finally, she put her hand on his, moved over, and lay down beside him.
"You're not afraid, aren't you? What if I'm lying to you? Song Ju'an laughed at her.
"Not without fear of ...... In the past, although we had different dreams in the same bed in the countryside, if you wanted to kill me, there were so many opportunities to do it that you couldn't count them. ”
He kissed her twice on the forehead, and said helplessly: "I was going to tell you after I justified my name, but you want to ask me." ”
"You've been dead for almost three years, how can you get your name right? Returning to Kyoto again and appearing in front of people? Isn't this a grand death? Du Ruo was very worried.
She calmed down, remembered many things in her mind, and raised her upper body and asked him seriously, "What's the matter with the rumors that you are a good woman?!" Also one night royal five girls! ”
"Didn't you even ask me why I was imprisoned and exiled?" Song Ju'an asked rhetorically.
"This is also a question, you answer my last question first!"
He laughed, "Of course it's not true, otherwise why am you the only one by my side?" ”
She lay down and put her arms on her face, pondering the truth of his words.
There seems to be nothing to doubt...... He used to dislike Du Rulan so disgusted that he didn't even touch her. Later, when he entered the city, some women approached him on an intentional basis, and he didn't seem to take the tricks, such as Guan Shuangshuang.
"How did you get to such a deplorable situation!" She let out a sigh of emotion.
