Chapter 24: Resentment

Who is Brother Lu? Hearing Zhu Heyu ask her like this, Zhu Ran just wanted to smile bitterly, ironically, she really didn't know who Lu Zihan was. She only knew that she loved him, he was her brother Lu, they met in his father's study, and his father Zhu Changjun had an excellent attitude towards him, and intended to match him with his eldest sister Zhu Yu.

With Zhu Ran's intelligent mind, she wanted to know how easy it was for Lu Zihan's identity, but she just deliberately turned a deaf ear, because she didn't want to face the reality, Lu Zihan's identity From a secular point of view, Zhu Ran must not be worthy of him, and knowing it would add to sorrow. Many times, when Lu Zihan opened his mouth to reveal his identity, Zhu Ran gagged him, looked at him and said firmly: "I don't want to enter your mansion as a concubine, even if I am a wife, I don't want to serve a husband with others, you are just me." ”

"Okay, I'm just you! One day, I will take you to swim in the rivers and lakes, and I will no longer ask about the world. ”

It wasn't until he was separated for three years that when Zhu Ran wanted to know his whereabouts, he didn't know where to start. How many times did I dream back at midnight and secretly regret why I didn't ask him about his identity and family background at that time.

Seeing that Zhu Ran didn't speak, Zhu Heyu didn't ask any more. Moved over and sat down beside her, grabbed her arm to check the injury on her hand.

"Does it hurt?" He asked.

Zhu Ran glanced at him and said lightly: "What if it hurts, what if it doesn't hurt." As he spoke, he was about to break free of him.

Zhu Heyu was afraid of touching her wounds, so she let go of her arm and said softly: "Ran Ran is so wise, it really impresses this king." ”

Zhu Ran said sarcastically: "The women around the prince, aren't they all like this, there is a jade flute in the front, and Xi Ziyu in the back, what is my Zhu Ran." ”

Zhu Heyu listened to Zhu Ran's words, and said half-smilingly: "Are you complaining about this king?" ”

Zhu Ran was silent for a long time, and finally said softly: "How dare the concubine." ”

"Then the king of Japan really went to find firewood, and he didn't mean to use you to get out."

The corners of Zhu Ran's mouth hooked, and said, "The concubine doesn't believe it." ”

Zhu Heyu suddenly looked at Zhu Ran seriously and didn't say a word.

Seeing that anger appeared in his eyes, Zhu Ran still said: "The chess piece of the concubine here is still useful, should you feel lucky?" ”

"Is this really angering the king?" Zhu Heyu looked at Zhu Ran, and suddenly turned angry and laughed.

Zhu Ran also chuckled and said, "What are the consequences of angering the prince?" ”

The two were at a stalemate, and the maid outside the door suddenly walked in tremblingly. "Lord Wang... Gruel... The porridge has been boiled. ”

Zhu Heyu took the porridge bowl, motioned for the maid to retreat, and said to Zhu Ran: "The food in the army is poor, so let's eat some porridge for the time being." ”

The porcelain spoon touched the porcelain bowl and made a sound that was not pleasant at all, Zhu Heyu took out a spoonful first, blew it, and put it on Zhuran's mouth when he saw that it was not hot.

Zhu Ran has indeed not eaten for a long time, there is not much food and grass left in the army, in order to stabilize the morale of the army, and in order to convince the public in words and deeds, Zhu Ran, like the soldiers in the city, has not eaten for two days, if it were not for the stubbornness in her heart, she did not want to be so weak in front of Zhu Heyu, she might have fainted.

But she still ate it after all, Zhu Heyu fed her spoonful by spoonful, Zhuran she hadn't eaten for a long time, and she felt sick to her stomach after eating half a bowl, but she didn't want to talk to him more, so he fed her and ate until the bowl bottomed out.

Zhu Heyu took a handkerchief and gently wiped Zhuran's mouth. He saw that her face was pale, and there was continuous sweat on her forehead, and his eyes were full of tenderness: "The army is not a place to recuperate, after tonight, I will send someone to send you back tomorrow morning."

Zhu Ran didn't see the tenderness in his eyes, and spit out a few words: "I don't want to go back." ”

The tenderness disappeared in an instant, Zhu Heyu looked at Zhu Ran coldly, and after a while, he said with a good temper: "I won't leave tomorrow morning, but how many days do I have to wait to go back with this king?" ”

After a while, Zhu Ran watched the anger in his eyes go from burning to being forced by him, and finally retreated and stopped talking. trembling slightly, he would never let himself go, even if she was the clothes he didn't want.

After a while, someone outside the door announced: "Your Highness, General Yudi asks to see you." And he walked away without saying anything.

———

Early in the morning, the doctor in the army came to check on Zhu Ran's injury, considering that he would have to travel long distances for a while, and he could not change the dressing on the way, the doctor deliberately used more medicine on the wound, and the whole process was respectful, Zhu Ran secretly thought that the doctor who returned to the Xiangrui Pavilion in the house may not be so dedicated.

"Madam, the carriage and horses are ready, it's time to go." The maid came in to report.

The weather outside is very sunny, and in March, even if the mood is not good, it is a little better when it is blown by the breeze.

After a night's rest, the person also had some spirits. Zhu Ran was helped by the maid and slowly walked down the city tower, and from a distance, she saw the waiting carriage and the general who rescued her in Jinzhou that day, chasing the wind. Beside Chasing Wind stood a short and stocky middle-aged man and six people dressed as family members. The stocky middle-aged man was talking to Chasing Wind. Suddenly a woman in the carriage lifted the curtain, and she didn't know what she said to the stocky man, she was too far away to see her face or hear what she was saying.

"Am I in this carriage?" Zhu Ran asked the maid beside him.

"Yes." The maid followed Zhu Ran's line of sight, knowing Zhu Ran's doubts, and explained with a smile: "I heard from the prince, Madame and Mrs. Han Xiang went back to Kyoto together. ”

Mrs. Han Xiang! Zhu Ran was taken aback, Han Xiangzi, is it a good lady Han Xiangzi!
