Chapter 196: Before the Storm
Liu Zezhong has been busy recently, often leaving early and returning late, but before leaving the house and returning home, he will come to see Mao Leyan. Mao Leyan didn't inquire about his whereabouts, and it could be seen from the solemn looks on his face that some things were already happening in secret.
She was a little strange that now Yunwu Tower seemed to have given up on the pursuit of him. Therefore, Liu Zezhong came to the West Chamber to look for her this night, and she pretended to ask casually, "Is the killer of Yunwulou still looking for you now?" ”
Liu Zezhong didn't seem to expect her to suddenly ask like this, he was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "Even if they look for me, I don't take them seriously." After a pause, he said with some warmth: "You don't have to worry about me. ”
Mao Leyan looked at him, he thought she was worried about him? A trace of guilt slipped in his heart, although he said that the person from Yunwulou was found by him to assassinate her, but when the two were hostile, this kind of behavior was understandable, but when the opposite side was still obvious, he finally took the chase order on himself, but she was never half moved by this, which is a little too much.
She said a little uncomfortably: "It's good not to chase and kill." ”
Liu Zezhong stared at her, and suddenly reached out to hug her into his arms, Mao Leyan was startled, and hurriedly wanted to struggle, Liu Zezhong whispered in her ear: "Don't move, I know you don't like me, just let me hug you, just a while!" ”
Mao Leyan didn't know why, there was a trace of compassion in her heart, shouldn't she be very disgusted with this vicious man?
After a moment, he let go of her, with a blushing smile on his handsome face, he looked at her stupidly, "Mao Leyan, it's a very happy thing to have you, and I will spend my whole life fighting for you." ”
Mao Leyan looked at him like this, like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man who had just fallen in love, she remembered that in high school, there was a boy who confessed to her, and he also promised a lifetime, although she was a little moved at the time, but she rejected him, on the grounds of academics, the senior cried and shouted that he would wait for her for the rest of his life. As a result, a month was not enough, and she heard him confess to other female classmates. She didn't doubt his sincerity, maybe he did think so when he said that he would wait for her for the rest of his life. But she is young and changeable, and her ideas are changing day by day, so she only feels a little surprised, but not sad and disappointed.
Now this is the case, Liu Zezhong is twenty years old this year, just entering college, and he is still a young boy in her heart. Well, a vicious and cruel young boy. What he says at the moment may be sincere, but it is also the easiest to change.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Liu Zezhong asked again: "If one day, I fight against Liu Yan, either he dies or I die, which side are you on?" ”
This sentence could not be answered, because her answer was destined to annoy him.
Liu Zezhong smiled bitterly, "You don't have to answer, I'm just asking." Mao Leyan stared at him, not knowing what to say, this time seeing him, he seemed to have changed a lot, and he was no longer the cruel boy she knew before. However, she knew that he was still an extremely dangerous figure and could not be too close.
After a pause, he added: "I know that you have someone you like in your heart, I always thought I had someone I liked in my heart, to be honest, since you broke my finger, I hate you very much in my heart, I approached you for the weapon in your hand, I need your weapon to help me get the world." However, I now know that even if I get the world, I won't get what I want. ”
Mao Leyan's heart was beating suddenly, it was a very vain thing to be so affectionately confessed by a little boy, and it was fake not to be moved. She said insincerely: "What you want at the moment may not be what you really want." It's just because you can't get it, you care so much. But when you actually get it......."
"I will cherish it for the rest of my life!" He interrupted her and said very seriously.
Mao Leyan looked at him stunned, a little at a loss, maybe he didn't know what to say. She could see his cherishment and seriousness in his eyes, as well as the burning deep love. Once, when she was in the cave, Liu Yan also looked at her with such eyes, she always thought that she liked the love of the long stream, but it turned out that the vigorous and hot love could touch the heart the most.
"You go back to Liu Yan's side." Liu Zezhong said suddenly.
Mao Leyan was stunned, she stayed in the palace to monitor Chen Ru'er, especially at this moment, she couldn't leave.
She shrugged her shoulders and said with a pretended lightheartedness, "You're trying to drive me away?" ”
Liu Zezhong said stupidly: "You know that I won't drive you away, never." However, I can't guarantee that I will succeed, I can't put you in the slightest danger, and if I fail, even if I die, you will be able to save yourself by his side. But if I succeed, I will welcome you as my queen. ”
His words made Mao Leyan's heart almost scream. King Jing is really going to rebel! She shook her head a little painfully, "Power, is it really that important?" ”
Liu Zezhong smiled a little confused, "I don't know, but since I was a child, my aunt told me that if I don't stand tall, I will always have to live by looking at people's faces." Becoming an emperor has been a goal I have set since I was twelve years old, and by this time, everything is ready, and there is no way back. ”
Auntie, it's her again. Mao Leyan read Chen Ruer's name hatefully.
If the war starts, she really wants to return to Liu Yan. It's just that, no matter what, she hopes that this battle can be avoided, and when the war starts, the people are displaced and their lives are lost, and she does not want to see such a situation.
Mao Leyan knew that persuasion was useless, he was not King Jing, King Jing was not a person with a strong desire for power, he was just unwilling. But Liu Zezhong is not, in his heart, being the emperor is the most important thing in his life, and he would rather die than be subservient to Liu Yan.
Before Liu Zezhong left, he hugged her tightly, his cold lips pressed against hers, pressing down heavily, and before Mao Leyan pushed him away, he had let go of her, turned around and strode away.
Mao Leyan wiped the place where he had kissed with his hand, and he was a little stunned and a little stupid, and he didn't know what the situation was now.
At noon, Mao Le ordered Xiao Shu and others to pack their things and prepare to go back. Just when I was packing up and getting ready to leave, an uninvited guest came.
The person who came was also an old friend, as soon as she entered the door, she pointed at Mao Leyan and scolded angrily: "Concubine Le, Concubine Le, this palace really underestimated your fox skills, here I confused King Qing and King Jing, and I hooked up with the emperor over there, this is good, even Grandpa Wang hooked up, how many men do you want to use to prove your charm?" I like men so much, just do it! ”
It was Concubine Mei who spoke, and she came to stand up for Chen Ruer. Her bright face was full of anger, her eyebrows were thick and dark, and she raised them up, glaring at Mao Leyan with some ferocity.
Mao Leyan was a little funny, "Well, what's the matter with you?" ”
Concubine Mei said angrily: "Put away your foxy smile, say beautiful, you don't even deserve to lift shoes for your wife, I really don't know if the little prince is blind or confused by ghosts, he would like a fox like you, and detain his wife." Hmph, now that I need Mrs., I will invite Mrs. out, and I really use Mrs. as a tool. ”
Mao Leyan was secretly surprised in his heart, although he knew that he would go to find Chen Ru'er, but he didn't expect it to be so soon, it seems that they are all ready. She was a little anxious in her heart, and asked Mo Yan to investigate, but she hadn't come back yet, and she didn't know if the prince of the town had returned to the court. Fortunately, she had already asked King Jing to secretly transfer his soldiers and horses back to the capital.
"Concubine Mei, do you like Chen Ru'er?" Mao Leyan suddenly asked sharply.
Concubine Mei was still thinking about how to insult Mao Leyan, and when she heard her words, her face suddenly changed, she took a step back, and snorted, "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”
"Whether it's nonsense or not, you know it in your heart." Mao Leyan sneered, raised her chin, and teased: "What do you like about her?" Like her pretty? You are also a superficial person who only looks at appearances. ”
"Don't talk nonsense, don't damage Madame's reputation." Concubine Mei was a little crazy, but she couldn't help Mao Leyan, so she only stomped her feet and argued with a red face.
"Reputation? What other reputation does Chen Ruer have? She is the wife of King Jing, but she is involved with her aunt and nephew, and now she is involved with a female zombie, what reputation does she have at all? What's more, she actually assisted King Jing in rebellion, this heinous woman deserves to go to hell. Mao Leyan said coldly.
Concubine Mei roared angrily, "This palace killed you!" ”
Mao Leyan continued: "Now that King Jing has raised troops in the southwest, you are here to respond, that is, the rebellious ministers and thieves, Concubine Mei, and you, you have betrayed your ancestors, your family, from the three generations of ancestors to your father, are all loyal and righteous people, you are just a zombie, and even assisted King Jing to rebel, do you want to label your Zhen family as a rebellious minister and thief?" ”
Concubine Mei roared angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, King Jing's army, this palace never participates, and does not pay attention to it, this side responds to the matter, this palace never asks, this palace came today, to be angry for Mrs., don't care about everything else, don't mess with this palace." ”
Mao Leyan's heart chuckled, he really started an army. Then, Mo Yan's side knows the result without investigating, if the war is over and the king of the town returns to the dynasty, it is impossible for King Jing to dare to send troops at this time, unless, everything is a trap.
Mao Leyan said calmly: "Okay, now that you've been angry enough, please leave!" ”
Concubine Mei glanced at her coldly, and said angrily: "Don't think that this palace can't help you, one day, you will die at the hands of this palace, and you will die miserably!" ”
"Okay, I'll wait!" Mao Leyan spread his hands.
Concubine Mei snorted and turned to leave. It's just that as soon as she came out of the door, she saw Chen Ruer and several zombies coming.
