Chapter 224: Mirror Blossoms
"What the county lord said is too bizarre, your majesty, don't be in a hurry, after a long time, the county lord will naturally experience your infatuation, you rest, these days, I haven't slept peacefully." Xue Shufei said softly.
Liu Hongjing thought about it, and after a warm encounter with Xue Shufei, he fell asleep steadily.
He was speechless all night, and at dawn the next day, he went to the court as usual, and above the court, the prince said goodbye, and left the palace to embark on the road to find an antidote.
After Liu Hongjing went down to the court, he drove to the prison, and the jailers and prisoners in the prison saw that the emperor was coming, and they knelt down to take the car.
Under the leadership of the warden, Liu Hongjing came to the outside of Liuhuo's prison, Liuhuo was sleepy, and when he heard the emperor coming, he was already frightened and depressed, and it seemed that the limit was so great that the emperor personally came to take his life. "Father." He knelt and said in a trembling voice.
Liu Hongjing glared at him and didn't speak for a long time.
"Father's life! The sons are confused, and the sons deserve death! "Kowtowing is like pounding garlic.
"Since you know that your sin deserves death, you still dare to intercede with me?" Liu Hongjing said coldly.
"Father, your son is your blood and blood, and you can't bear to kill your eldest son?" Ryukin cried.
"If I kill you, how can my heart not be painful? But you have committed a heinous crime, if I spare your life, I am afraid that the people of the world will not tolerate it! I wanted to behead you in the vegetable market, but I couldn't bear it after all, and now I will give you Heding Hong, leave you a whole corpse, bury you in the temple, and retain the title, do you have any objections? Lu Hongjing looked at him majestically.
Ryuhuo looked up and looked at his father in despair, trembling all over.
"Father! Have you forgotten that twenty years ago, when you were a new father, the baby was so beautiful, clever and lovely? Ryuhuo said, tears streaming down his face.
Liu Hongjing frowned, and his memory seemed to open a floodgate, returning to twenty years ago.
"Father, listen, that child is crying, why does he come to hug him every day and tease his father to disappear? Why does the queen mother's tears keep flowing? "It wasn't until one day that he finally knew that his father, who loved him the most, had another baby in his arms. ”
"The arrival of that baby is his disaster, everything that should have belonged to him has been taken away by that person, and the queen mother, also spent day after day in desolation, she is dressed beautifully, but she can only sigh in the mirror, the golden palace, cold and silent like a pool of stagnant water, can not wait for your little favor."
"Only the new people laugh, who hears the old people cry? Poor queen mother, her son is useless, he can't fight for you, let you enjoy the glory with your son with your eyebrows, but you end up in a foreign land in your old age, and your son will no longer be able to take care of you in the future, and your son will not be blind to death! Ryuhuo said, unable to cry.
Liu Hongjing took a few steps back, pointed at Liuhuo and said angrily: "When you say this, are you complaining?" I admit that I owe it emotionally to your mother, so I have been conniving at what she has done for so many years, but I didn't expect to indulge her ambition to such an uncontrollable point! However, I have never regretted the canonization of the crown prince, and I am kind-hearted, how can I be as insidious and vicious as you, and do everything you can? In order to get the throne, you actually connived at Tong Fu'an's cultivation of evil arts, and used bitter tricks to gain the trust of the princess, using her to persuade her father to send troops to help you rebel, and even stillborn your own child. ”
"The reason why Erchen is so unscrupulous is not forced by reality! If Erchen was favored by his father since he was a child and inherited the position of the crown prince logically, would Erchen be so insidious and vicious? "Ryuhuo fights.
"It's in your nature, don't impose your faults on me! Good! I feel guilty about your mother and son, I will spare you from death today, demote you to a commoner, and never enter the palace, and the grievances between me and your mother and son will be written off from now on! "Liuhong Jingdao.
Liuhuo was speechless for a while, and two lines of tears fell sadly.
"Let's go!" Liu Hongjing turned around and said coldly.
"Thank you, Emperor Longen." Liuhuo kowtowed, no longer called "father".
Liu Hongjing didn't say anything, strode out, until he walked outside the prison, the strong sun made him unable to open his eyes for an instant, and the moment he frowned, he saw that his eyes were already red.
Ryuhuo remained on his knees until silence regained from the prison. When he stumbled out of the prison, at the door of the prison, there was the woman he had been thinking about for a long time-Luo Lianyi.
Now, what else can he think of her? He glanced at her, and then walked past her.
"You wait." Luo Lianyi stopped him.
Ryuhuo stopped, looked back at her, smiled teasingly, and said, "What? Reluctant to let me go? ”
Luo Lianyi glanced at him and said, "Self-inflicted." She handed him the burden in her hand.
Liuhuo was a little surprised and asked, "Are you so sure that the emperor won't kill me?" ”
"Of course, the emperor has a benevolent heart, and I see this more clearly than you, a son." Luo Lianyi said.
Liuhuo sighed and looked up at the sky, his eyes filled with guilt.
"I'm not a good son," he said quietly, "and I'm not a good husband." ”
"As long as you have life, everything still has a chance, you can be a good husband first, you can take good care of your mother, and soon after, you can be a good father, and after a few years, when you come back, these grievances may be as light as dust." Luo Lianyi said to him.
Ryuko was silent for a moment, then nodded.
"Let's go, we'll see you later." Luo Lianyi waved at him.
Liuhuo waved his hand, turned around and left, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and called Luo Lianyi, who had already turned around and wanted to leave, and asked, "You don't hate me?" ”
"You can hate it, you can not hate it, if you do what I say, why should I hate you?" Luo Lianyi smiled slightly.
Liuhuo looked at her with a smile, beautiful and clean as a fairy, and couldn't help but be stunned.
"I love you." He blurted out.
"Let's go." Luo Lianyi put away his smile and turned to leave.
"You're the only woman I've ever loved! Please believe that my love for you is not utilitarian or false! Ryuhuo said loudly.
Luo Lianyi stopped, stopped for a second and said, "Well, I believe it." She finished and walked quickly.
Liuhuo kept watching her turn the corridor before turning melancholy, and the air seemed to still have her faint fragrance, ethereal and tranquil, like her.
"After all, I have no chance." He smiled bitterly and walked briskly out of the distance. When he arrived at the market, he took out his money from his baggage, bought a fast horse, mounted it, and galloped all the way south.
