Chapter 57: The Wild
There are left and right guards in the palace. Zuo Yawei was headed by Lu Zilei to guard the back door of the palace and the heavy Xuanmen. The right guard is headed by Xi Ziyu to guard the palace gate and the noon gate. If you want to get out of the palace, you must either go out from the Chongxuan Gate or go out from the Noon Gate.
Lin Yunchen finally brought Zhuran to the noon gate. took out the waist card, and the guards respectfully just wanted to let go, when a sharp female voice behind him suddenly shouted: "Stop!" ”
Xi Ziyu recognized Zhu Ran in a eunuch uniform at a glance. Straight to the point, he said directly: "Where are the concubines of King Lin'an and Prince Ruixin singing?" ”
Lin Yunchen didn't defend himself, and said to Xi Ziyu very seriously: "Ziyu, this time it's my Lin Yunchen's personal matter, and it has nothing to do with the third brother." Let me out of the palace, I owe you a personal favor! ”
Xi Ziyu looked at Lin Yunchen, then at Zhu Ran, and said in a cold tone: "You have thought about it, it is difficult for you to return my favor!" ”
Zhu Ran's grief was greater than his heart dying, and he only heard Lin Yunchen say: "I'll pay you back with my whole life, okay." ”
Xi Ziyu evaded and said to the guards: "Release people!" The two walked a few steps, and Xi Ziyu shouted at Lin Yunchen: "I'm not rare, you can't give what I want!" After Lin Yunchen heard this, his face stiffened, and then he smiled astringently.
Out of the palace.
Zhu Ran sat in the front, Lin Yunchen sat in the back, and the two came to a wilderness. Zhu Ran rode his horse in front of him, desperate to vent all the discomfort in his heart.
Lin Yunchen didn't ask or say a word, but just fixed the horse behind to ensure Zhuran's safety.
The horse gradually stopped, and Zhu Ran leaned on Lin Yunchen's shoulder, sobbing and making her body tremble.
I don't know how long it took, but the sobbing gradually subsided. Zhu Ran said to Lin Yunchen behind him: "Take me to Tianshui Lake, I don't know the way." ”
When he came to the lake, Zhuran slid off his horse, not feeling the pain of falling to the ground, but ran frantically towards the lake.
Lin Yunchen hurriedly dismounted to chase after Zhu Ran, shouting: "Zhu Ran! Calm down! ”
Zhu Ran sat on the ground, looked back at Lin Yunchen and smiled, "Don't worry, if you want to jump, I jumped three years ago." ”
Climbed to the lake, held a few handfuls of water on his face, and asked Lin Yunchen loudly, "Do you want to drink?" ”
"If you want to drink, we'll go to the tavern."
"No, there's it here." Zhu Ran got up as he spoke, staggering towards the woods.
When I came to a place, I stopped, looked up, and saw a shovel hanging from a tree branch. After three years of wind and rain, the shovel has rotted. Just like her relationship with Lu Zihan, it has rotted and deteriorated by now.
Three years ago, during the Qixi Festival, Lu Zihan brought Zhuran here and buried an altar of daughter red in the ground.
"Every year on the Qixi Festival, I will bring Ran'er here. Bury one altar of daughter red a year, and save up to fifty altars. When the time comes, we will bring our children and grandchildren here to get wine. Fifty years of baptism, fifty years of emotional brewing. At that time, my relationship with Ran'er will be stronger, more mellow, and more fragrant than a hundred years of aging......"
Lin Yunchen changed his usual attitude, didn't say much, just took out the wine. Zhu Ran snatched it up, raised his head and poured it into his mouth. The jar was too heavy, and the mouth was too big, and half of it fell in its mouth, and half in its neck.
"Don't drink alone if you have wine, share half of it." Seeing that Zhu Ran was choked and coughed violently, Lin Yunchen grabbed the jar and continued to drink with his neck tilted.
"Why don't you ask why there's wine here, why am I so miserable today?"
"Seven emotions and six desires, everyone has them. If you want to say, you don't need me to ask, if you don't want to say, it's perfunctory to ask. ”
"This jar of wine was buried by the current master of the horse, the husband of Princess Kangshuo, Lu Zihan."
Lin Yunchen's face remained unchanged, he just picked up the wine jar, took a sip of wine and said, "It is indeed good wine." ”
"Three years ago, during the Qixi Festival, I joined hands with him to bury this altar of daughter red ...... Just over a month ago, he said he was going to give up everything and go to the end of the world with me......"
Zhu Ran didn't know if she was drunk, but in short, she talked a lot, and she confided everything in her heart.
After hearing all this, Lin Yunchen's face did not change, and he only said: "Everyone has everyone's story." ”
Zhu Ran smiled and asked: "As Zhu Heyu's good brother and Zhu Hexi's good friend, don't you want to accuse me or insult me when you hear this?" ”
Lin Yunchen turned his head to Zhu Ran and said seriously: "You Zhu Ran are also my friend of Lin Yunchen. ”
Zhu Ran burst into tears and smiled, and said to Lin Yunchen: "How can I, Zhu Ran, make friends like you and Zhu Hexi!" ”
"I owe you a condition, don't you want to use that condition for me to help you hide everything today, so that you can return to the palace as if nothing happened?"
"What conditions? It was just a joke that day! What's more, there is no impermeable wall in the world, you and I come out of the palace, even if it is well hidden, it is impossible not to let people know. ”
Lin Yunchen looked at Zhu Ran and said, "What if I say I can?" ”
Zhu Ran shook his head, "Even if I could, I don't want to, the original rogue condition was just a joke." Even if it's not a joke, I don't want you to hurt the affection between me and Zhu Heyu because of me, and I don't want you to be in a dilemma in front of your friends because of me. Everything started because of me, and I am willing to accept all the consequences. ”
"Actually, there are no consequences......" Lin Yunchen couldn't help but persuade.
Zhu Ran smiled and said, "You don't know about the matter between Zhu Heyu and me, if he knows......" In fact, the matter of leaving the palace without permission can be investigated big or small, and if it is small, it can be done with only one sentence from Zhu Heyu, and when it is big, it will talk about the court and implicate the people around him.
The sun sets, and the stars in the sky shine brightly. Zhu Ran and Lin Yunchen lay on the grass with their heads against their heads.
The night in the wild is quiet and peaceful, and the occasional insect call can be heard.
"Do you have anyone you like?" The two hadn't spoken for a long time, and Zhu Ran's voice suddenly sounded.
"Yes, but it can't."
Zhu Ran wanted to ask why, but remembered what Lin Yunchen said to him earlier. If you want to say, you don't need me to ask, if you don't want to say, it's perfunctory to ask.
"She likes the third brother, likes it very much, and is willing to die for him.
"Then does Zhu Heyu know that you like her?"
Lin Yunchen sat up from the grass, "I don't know, maybe I know, maybe I don't know." You know, I can't ask. ”
"Yes...... "Xi Ziyu, I can't ask."
After a long time, Zhu Ran felt that the stars in the sky were getting brighter and brighter.
"Look at the stars in the sky, how bright they are, how beautiful the scenery is at night, how fresh the air is in the wilderness. I don't want to sleep...... After waking up and facing Zhu Heyu, maybe it was a bolt from the blue. ”
"Sleep when you're sleepy, sleep well, dream well, it's good to be in the wild......"
There is still half a sentence that Lin Yunchen didn't say, the third brother won't do anything to you, he won't lose his temper, and there won't be a thunderbolt on a sunny day, because this was arranged by the third brother.
