a)

On the eighth day of the fifth month, at the turn of spring and summer, when the plums are yellow, Yanguo is in the most comfortable season of the year. Princess Lechang, who came from afar in the Qin State, with dozens of attendants and a rich dowry, was welcomed into the capital by the officials of the Ministry of Rites with impeccable etiquette, and after a short rest, she chose a day to go to the palace to meet her. At the same time, the preparations for the wedding of the Emperor of Yan also entered the final stage.

After going down, Yan Rin stopped Shi Jingyuan and walked to the imperial garden casually.

"Jingyuan, Princess Lechang has arrived at the hotel, right?" Yan Rin asked as he looked at the peach tree with withered flowers and green leaves in the distance.

"Yes. The princess was welcomed to the hotel by Weichen and the Ministry of Rites yesterday, and will officially enter the palace the day after tomorrow. Shi Jingyuan stopped with him and replied respectfully.

Yan Rin was silent for a while.

Shi Jingyuan looked up at his expression, only to see that his eyes were deep and he couldn't see any joy or anger, so he didn't speak.

After a while, Yan Rin turned around and said with a slight smile: "Jingyuan, the princess has been in the dust all the way, it must have been very hard, let's go see her." ”

Shi Jingyuan was stunned and said, "...... The minister will arrange it. ”

His majesty has always been melancholy, and although this melancholy is often disguised by smiles and lightness, how could he not see it if others could not see it. But he could neither comfort nor solve it, because he knew that Yan Rin's happiness had disappeared with the person who had disappeared in the study that day. So he could only do his best to meet his request, trying to make the man bound by imperial power and duty happier, even for a moment, even if it was in vain.

Located on the east side of the palace, the Yanguo Hotel is a place where Yanjing is used to entertain envoys from all over the world to stay temporarily, in order to welcome the princess of Qin, who is about to become the queen of Yanguo, the hotel has already been renovated inside and outside.

When Yan Rin's chariot stopped outside the hotel, there were many palace people waiting at the door, and to his surprise, Princess Lechang was actually in the middle of the crowd. As soon as I got out of the car, I saw the small red shadow bowing down:

"Qin, eldest princess Lechang, meet His Majesty the Emperor of Yan Kingdom."

Although it is a little childish, the gentle and polite voice, and the attitude that is neither humble nor arrogant, make people feel good when they hear it.

Yan Rin stepped forward to help her, and said gently, "Princess, please be flat." It's really hard for the princess to come from afar, why not rest in the inner hall? ”

Lechang raised his head and glanced at him a little shyly, and said, "Lechang doesn't dare to say that he is hard, how dare he work hard for His Majesty." ”

The round face is as pink and pink as the peach blossoms in early spring.

When everyone sat down in the hall, they were speechless for a while, and the atmosphere was a little stiff, Yan Rin spoke: "I don't know...... Is it the princess's habit to live here? ”

Lechang straightened his body, bowed slightly, and replied, "Thank you Your Majesty for your concern." The hotel is very well prepared, and everything is carefully selected, which really makes Lechang feel at home. ”

"Are you still used to eating? Yan Guoxi is light, maybe not with the princess taste. ”

"Where, Your Majesty is considerate and thoughtful, and has specially prepared a chef who can cook Qin food, Lechang admires it very much."

Looking at the young Lechang's one-by-one answer, Yan Rin felt a little impulsive to laugh for some reason. He looked at the serious attendants and Shi Jingyuan around him, the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said, "Jingyuan, you let them all go down first." ”

"Yes." Shi Jingyuan waved away the idlers and others, and he also retreated.

The elder palace maid who was with Le Chang hesitated a little, as if she wanted to say that Yu Li was incompatible, Le Chang shook her head at her, she glanced at Yan Rin worriedly, and could only retreat with her.

There were only two people left in the hall, Yan Rin looked at Le Chang with a smile, and saw that she was sitting in a precarious position, polite, with an indifferent look on her face, only the fingertips pinching the towel were slightly white, revealing her nervous heart. remembered the sadness when I heard about this marriage, and the joking thoughts at first were replaced by helplessness and emotion.

Thinking about it, you really can't blame Lechang for being like a big enemy, after all, he came to visit in person without waiting for the official audience, which is not in line with the etiquette. In addition, this time, the Qin State sent a wedding honor guard without waiting for the official reply of the Yan State, which inevitably fell behind, in case Yan Rin did not agree to return them, the Qin State had no way at all. Regardless of the fact that this is a big faceless matter for the Qin State, if Lechang is divorced this time, who will dare to marry her in the future.

Lechang, who married far away under this pressure, although she is the eldest princess, is only thirteen years old......

He sighed lightly and said, "The princess really doesn't need to be so restrained, I am just worried that the princess is weak and unbearable to travel long distances, and I am afraid that the subordinates will not be well entertained, so I just came to take a look, it seems that it is a bit abrupt." ”

Seeing that he didn't look like a fake, Le Chang breathed a sigh of relief, a little moved, and quickly got up and gave a slight blessing: "Your Majesty is too worried, Your Majesty has been very thoughtful, and Le Chang is flattered." ”

Yan Rin smiled: "What do you say to be flattered, you and I will be Qin Jin in the future, regardless of each other, you don't have to see each other like this." If you have any needs, just put them forward to the inner government, and you must not be wronged. ”

The implication is that he agreed to marry the Qin State.

Le Chang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and a smile involuntarily appeared on his face, and he bowed deeply: "So, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

Yan Rin pulled her up and said with a smile: "Look at you, here you are again." I said that we should not distinguish each other, why did we start to see each other again? ”

Lechang couldn't help blushing when he saw his hearty smile, "Your Majesty's lesson is that Lechang must remember." ”

Yan Rin smiled and didn't say much: "So I can rest assured." The princess just arrived yesterday, and she must be very tired, so I can't stay for a long time, so I'll go back to the palace. ”

When Lechang saw that he was leaving, he wanted to stay, but he opened his mouth and didn't know what to say, so he only said: "Your Majesty...... When the emperor comes out, can you have a meal? ”

Yan Rin was stunned for a moment, as if she felt that this sentence was familiar, but she couldn't remember it for a while, and waved her hand and said, "The princess's kindness is appreciated." It's just that I came out in a hurry today, and there are still some things in the palace. Some other day...... Another day, I should set up a feast. He lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Princess, please rest well, don't send it far." ”

Lechang was also inconvenient to keep, so he only bowed down and bowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty, send your Majesty." ”

On the way back to the palace, Shi Jingyuan carefully observed Yan Rin's expression, and he didn't see how happy he was because of the meeting just now, since he came out of the hotel, he was still that depressed, and wanted to ask, but he didn't know how to say it, so he had to choose something that didn't have anything new: "What does Your Majesty think of Princess Lechang?" ”

Yan Rin came back to his senses and said, "Gentle and elegant, knowledgeable and courteous, as a queen, it is rare." It's been a really hard journey for her. ”

Is it as the queen of the Yan Kingdom, not your wife...... Shi Jingyuan chewed on the meaning of Yan Rin's words and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Yan Rin: "Jingyuan, go back and inform the Inner Government to step up preparations, I hope to get this matter done as soon as possible." ”

"Yes."

Shi Jingyuan looked at Yan Rin's straight back, and suddenly understood that Yan Rin had never thought of establishing any special relationship with Princess Lechang, even if he knew that this would be the person he would be with for the rest of his life, he would only regard her as an indispensable part of the imperial power of Yan State, and a responsibility that the king of a country must fulfill. Perhaps, he will care for her with tenderness and consideration throughout his life, but that is all, even to visit her in advance is only out of courtesy or obligation......

After Yan Rin finished speaking, he closed his eyes and forced himself to ignore the slight bitterness in his heart.

Big wedding? This is one of the things that must be done to be a good emperor.

The thin breeze lifted his cheek, remembering that it was also such an afternoon, the man sat in the garden of the Xiangfu with him, and read to him a rare book other than political commentary, and his low and gentle voice was like a warm breeze that made people fall asleep: "Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son." Your Majesty understands the meaning of this sentence? ”

He replied in a milky voice: "I know, I just hold hands and want to be with each other until I am old." ”

He also took the man's hand childishly and asked, "Then I can also hold Rongxiang's hand now, can I also accompany him until I am old?" ”

What did the man say to him? In vague memory, it seems that he just smiled and touched his head without speaking.

So you already made up your mind at that time, didn't you? That's why they didn't answer me.

Yes...... By the way, he stayed in the Prime Minister's Mansion until the evening that day, and Rong Xiang also asked him: "When the emperor comes out, can you have dinner?" ”……

So that's the case, this sentence has been asked from that person's mouth countless times, and he will always be followed by his invitation with a smile: "Does that Weichen have this honor, please invite the emperor to dine at the minister's mansion." ”

And he has always been happy to agree, just to be able to spend one more moment with his appearance.

In fact, maybe Rong Xiang knew that he deliberately stayed so late, but he never reprimanded, did he also want to spend more time with him?

Thinking of the man's doting and helpless expression, Yan Rin couldn't help but want to smile, but the heavy piece of his heart blocked him from laughing, crying, or swallowing.

It turned out that I really didn't forget it for a moment. If you want to hide, you can remember that you can always inadvertently escape the defense line in your heart, and show the past bit by bit.

Where are you?

(b)

On May 15, Yan Rin officially received the princess of Qin and her party, and solemnly stamped the golden seal of Yan on the marriage book submitted by the envoy, so far the marriage contract between Yan and Qin was officially decided.

After the palace banquet, everyone talked and laughed, all of which were words of congratulations and praise, Yan Rin listened with a smile, and occasionally responded with two sentences.

It's been almost an hour in the blink of an eye, and everyone has no intention of ending, but after all, it's rare, Yan Rin couldn't bear to sweep away the interest of the ministers, so he moved his stiff neck without a trace, and turned his head to see that Lechang was also a little tired, so he announced: "Today is a big day, the ministers don't have to be formal, drink and feast to their heart's content, and I and the princess will retire first." ”

After saying that, he glanced at Lechang, and the two retreated together.

Coming out of the main hall, Yan Rin didn't care about Le Chang beside him, stretched out by himself, and said with a smile, "It's finally out, I'm really tired." When they had a rare opportunity, they couldn't help but indulge a little. The princess is tired too, right? ”

Le Chang looked at him as if there was no one beside him, remembering that he was like this in the Qin Palace before, he couldn't help but be a little envious, and thinking that he actually noticed his predicament in the main hall just now, his heart warmed, and he gave him a grateful smile: "It's okay, thank you Your Majesty for your concern!" ”

Yan Rin looked at her bending over Yifu who was still observing etiquette, and suddenly didn't know where to get the joke from her, and said jokingly: "You see the outside again, there are only you and me here, and there are no outsiders, what are you doing with those false etiquette?" ”

Le Chang's face turned red, and he couldn't help but pouted and whispered, "This ...... This hasn't passed the door yet, how can you become an insider? After speaking, he covered his mouth in surprise and looked at Yan Rin with a nervous expression.

Yan Rin was stunned for a moment, looking at her shocked appearance, she couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that this is your true face!" ”

Lechang's face was so hot that he could boil water, and he didn't say anything for a long time, and Yan Rin smiled even more when he saw this.

Lechang used to be favored in the Qin Palace, and the King of Qin couldn't wait to hold this baby daughter to the sky, except for teaching her poetry and etiquette, the rest was to give what he wanted. It is also thanks to Lechang's pure nature, even if King Qin is so loving, he has never been pampered. Such a lovely child, of course, the Qin Palace is even more coaxed, and no one is willing to take those rules and regulations to control and suppress them, so Lechang has been unrestrained since he was a child, and he has a child's heart, this time when he came to Yan Kingdom, let her meet Yan Rin so decently and get engaged, it is really like walking on thin ice. You must know that studying is one thing, but she has never practiced well after studying, and Rao is still nervous because she is very smart, and she is afraid of making mistakes.

She married far away this time, although King Qin was reluctant, but for the sake of the overall situation, he had to make this decision, and before leaving, he solemnly informed the importance of this marriage, and told him to succeed no matter what, and after all, this is the palace of another country, no more than his own family, even if he may be the queen, he can no longer act recklessly, no big or small, which angered her husband, and no one can protect her anymore.

Le Chang hugged his mother and cried when he heard this, although he didn't want to go, but in the end, the princess who had received royal education since she was a child, understood her obligations as a royal person, and after crying, she only wiped her tears and told the maid to clean up her things. When her mother saw her like this, she couldn't bear it, and comforted her:

"The emperor of Yan has just been in power, and he is only fifteen, only two years older than you. You're about the same age, so maybe we'll get along. ”

Le Changcai didn't care if it was Mingjun or not, she only knew that it was because of himself that she had to leave her parents and leave her homeland, no matter how good he was to the people of Yan Kingdom, it didn't mean much to her. So on the way, she had already slandered Yan Rin thousands of times. How did she know that Yan Rin came to visit her in person the day after she arrived, shh

Le Chang stomped his feet, and shouted in hatred: "Your Majesty! His face was wrinkled with anger.

"Okay, don't laugh, I won't laugh." Yan Rin tried to stop laughing, thinking it was funny, "I thought the princess was gentle and graceful, quiet and virtuous, but she was so innocent and lively." ”

Lechang gritted his teeth and put on a dignified and steady appearance, "Thank you Your Majesty for your praise, fortunately, Your Majesty loves you and fulfills the marriage contract." ”

It means that even if you want to repent of your marriage now, it's too late!

Yan Rin seemed to be smiling, looked at her for a while, and then suppressed her expression and said calmly: "The princess is cheerful by nature, and I am deeply grateful. The high position in the deep palace is already a heavy burden, and if the princess can smile freely, I will be relieved. After speaking, he turned to lean on the railing, and said no more.

Hearing him answer like this, Lechang knew that he had no intention of repenting at all, and couldn't help blushing that he had just spent a little bit of a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain. What's more, Yan Rin's attitude was serious and sincere, and she seemed to have a personal feeling between her words, which touched her deeply, looking at his back, against the backdrop of the eaves of the palace, she actually revealed a taste of loneliness and sadness, and couldn't help but want to step forward to help him and ask, "Are you tired?" Lonely? And also...... Who broke your heart? ”

"Your Majesty......"

Just as she wanted to speak, Yan Rin changed her words, "Now that the marriage contract is complete, it will be inconvenient for the princess to live in a hotel again." I have ordered someone to clean up the Yonghe Palace, and the princess will live there temporarily. ”

Le Chang wanted to speak and stopped, and replied in a low voice: "Your Majesty." ”

"Then I'll send the princess back now."

Nodding, Le Chang obediently followed Yan Rin forward.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, a peach tree is flourishing and thriving. Lechang remembered that his previous dormitory was full of peach trees, spring and autumn fruits, all spent under the pampering of her family, that can be said to be the happiest time in her life, and from now on she will be alone in this Yan Kingdom Palace, wearing a crown that symbolizes power and glory, and savoring the longing and loneliness far from her homeland.

Yan Rin saw her looking at the peach tree and asked, "The princess likes the peach tree?" ”

Lechang came back to his senses and said: "Yes, Lechang has loved peach trees since he was a child, and his former dormitory was also full of peach trees. My father was helpless, and he and his mother jokingly called me Zhenzhen, which is a nickname. ”

Yan Rin was speechless, he had also tasted this kind of taste of leaving his closest relatives, so he didn't know how to comfort him.

After a while, Lechang half-jokingly recited: "Zhenzhen...... The peach is dying, and its leaves are very; The son is home, and it is suitable for his family. ”

Yan Rin was stunned for a moment, and replied: "Princess Hui Lanxin, I ...... I am determined to live up to the alliance of Qin and Jin. ”

Le Chang was slightly disappointed, but Yan Rin's attitude was straightforward, and he was not too entangled, so he only smiled: "Your Majesty Xie!" ”

Anyway, it's a long time coming.

(c)

Saying goodbye to Lechang, Yan Rin didn't want to go back to his cold bedroom, thinking that maybe he could deal with some government affairs, so he went to the imperial study.

He was very diligent during this time, and spent much more time in the study than in the dormitory. Shi Jingyuan was worried that he was too tired and advised him to pay attention to his body, but only he knew that it was not that he was too diligent, he just didn't want to leave the imperial study, because this was the last place where his appearance stayed.

Walking into the courtyard gate of the imperial study, I saw a cyan back standing under the apricot tree from a distance, with a noble and graceful bearing, just standing there at will, as if there was no room for other things in this world.

Yan Rin was stunned, and her heart jumped wildly, could it be ......

He hurried forward, and was about to shout out a salutation in his mouth.

The man turned around when he heard the footsteps, a gentle smile appeared on his handsome face, and he bowed generously: "Fang Yifei pays a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of Yan Kingdom." ”

He did not bow according to ordinary etiquette, but people could not have any sense of rudeness, as if it was a matter of course to give a salute like this.

Yan Rin was drenched with a bucket of ice water on her head, and she was stunned there, speechless for a long time, looking at the extraordinary appearance of that person, where was the person she was thinking about. Until the man looked up and shouted, "Your Majesty? Only then did he say: "No courtesy." ”

Disappointment, or even a blow...... Hehe, Yan Rin sighed self-deprecatingly, how could it be him? Isn't he gone, and he has made it clear: never to see each other......

What's more, he still ......

I remembered that he pinched his right hand and folded it...... It hurts, my heart and my right hand hurt, as if the pain of breaking bones is on me.

Yan Rin touched his right hand and smiled bitterly, yes, how could he be mistaken? How could it be mistaken?

Fang Yifei straightened up generously, looked Yan Rin up and down unabashedly, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty seems to have a good complexion. ”

Yan Rin was stunned for a moment, and hesitated: "You ......"

Fang Yifei seemed to know what he wanted to ask, so he took out a piece of jade from his body and handed it to him, saying, "It is not entrusted by the old man to come to visit Your Majesty." ”

As soon as she saw the jade, Yan Rin trembled, and immediately wanted to scream, and even jumped up.

stepped forward excitedly, resisting the urge to pinch Fang Yifei, and roared, "Do you know where he is?!" ”

Fang Yifei shook his head innocently: "The grass people don't know. ”

The brilliance in Yan Rin's eyes instantly extinguished, and he asked for a while before asking, "Then this ......"

"Your Majesty wants to ask me how I got it?"

Nodding, his pretended calm expression couldn't hide the eagerness in his eyes.

Fang Yifei stared into his eyes and said word by word: "If I say that I snatched it from the Heavenly Prison Jailer, what will happen to Your Majesty?" ”

No way! You are talking nonsense! Yan Rin instinctively wanted to roar like this, but when the words came to her mouth, she suddenly choked, why is it impossible? Maybe that's the case......

The jade was a gift from him to Rong Xiang when he was nine years old. He was thirty years old, so he carved the Analects on the jade crookedly. "Thirty and Standing" in "For Politics" was given to him. Rong Xiang couldn't put it down, touched the handwriting on it and said: "Weichen will keep it with you." ”

Yes, he said that he would keep it with him, although he had not seen him in the years he had been feuding, but he never broke his word. So I still have ...... with me when I go to prison

Take it with you, but let me do it to him......

Tears are about to burst out of my eyes, but I can't cry, I definitely can't cry, I am the emperor of Yan Kingdom, how can I cry in front of people?

Fang Yifei looked at his sobbing expression, and pretended to be puzzled: "What's wrong with Your Majesty?" ”

Yan Rin turned his head sideways to force back the tears, and said, "Let's go to the study and talk." ”

Sitting down in the study, Yan Rin calmed down, and as a ruler, his acuity immediately realized that Fang Yifei's statement was full of errors and omissions, and he couldn't help but become vigilant: "Sir, don't be joking, how did you get this jade?" ”

Fang Yifei said: "The grass people don't dare to deceive Your Majesty, they did get it from the jailer." Seeing that Yan Rin was still questioning, he continued: "I had the same friendship with Rong Qian in the past. Before the big change, he had written to me and said that if anything happened, let us ignore it. Seeking kindness and benevolence, what he did was nothing more than his own heart, but he couldn't rest assured and hoped that we would come to visit often. He looked at Yan Rin decisively.

Yan Rin was stunned and speechless.

Fang Yifei saw that he didn't speak, so he said to himself: "Since Your Majesty is all right, presumably Xiaorong should be able to rest assured." ”

"Xiaorong?" Yan Rin wondered what he called him so intimately.

"Your Majesty smiled, Xiao Rong is Rong Qian, we all called him that in the past. By the way, where is he now? Isn't it in the palace? ”

Yan Rin's heart was sour, and she turned her head to look away: "He's gone." ”

"Gone? Why? I heard that he was recuperating in the palace after the Dharma field......"

Yan Rin showed a smile that was more ugly than crying, and said, "He...... Maybe they hate me......"

"Impossible." Fang Yifei got up and said: "Since he knows what the fate may be, he doesn't want us to interfere, it can be seen that he values you more than anything else, how can he hate you like this?" ”

He was in such a hurry that he forgot to use honorifics. Yan Rin didn't realize it, but felt the pain: "He doesn't hate me, why does he have to leave?" I don't want to keep ...... like that."

Fang Yifei suddenly thought of something, and asked hurriedly, "Before he left, what did he do?" ”

Yan Rin smiled bitterly: "What did you do...... Isn't it just that he saved me in the court and suppressed a mutiny with his power for more than ten years. ”

Fang Yifei's expression became solemn: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, how did he save you?" ”

Yan Rin was surprised by his look as if he was facing a great enemy, "He broke free from the ropes that bound him and saved me from the army." ”

Fang Yifei was even more shocked: "He is as invincible as a ghost and god in an instant, saving people from fire and water, and no one can get close?" ”

"yes, how do you know?"

Fang Yifei didn't answer, only showed a very worried expression, thought for a while, and said decisively: "Your Majesty is fine, Xiaorong is not in the palace, and it is not just to leave." ”

Seeing him like this, Yan Rin was even more worried: "Wait! You tell me, don't you...... What's wrong with appearance? ”

Fang Yifei was stunned and sighed: "Your Majesty, you should only be Xiaorong's martial arts, even if you are saved in the army, you should be on the ground, right?" ”

Yan Rin nodded stunnedly.

Fang Yifei said again: "Your Majesty, what did he receive in prison that day...... I've heard it all from the jailer, do you think he could easily break free from the cow's tendon that had been deliberately soaked in water? ”

Yan Rin's face turned pale, and her heart ached when she remembered the torture she had personally ordered before.

"That'...... He ......"

Seeing him like this, Fang Yifei showed an unbearable look on his face, and only said vaguely: "There are some prohibitions in our martial arts that cannot be violated, if we use a force that we can't bear...... Alas, I'll go to him, hoping it's still too late. After speaking, without waiting for Yan Rin to respond, he swept out, his body was extremely fast, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Yan Rin looked at the direction he left, like petrified, and didn't move for a long time.

"Light dust, light dust. Light dust, light dust. ”

Fang Yifei, who was leisurely walking on the bustling streets of the capital, that is, Fang Qingchen was also, frowning impatiently: "What are you doing?" Lustful girl? ”

"Hehe," a certain woman laughed unscrupulously: "You are so nosy, be careful that Xiaorong knows that you are not finished with you." ”

"Call me nosy, aren't you yourself? Who was muttering before I left, don't you just want to see Yan Rin uncomfortable? Now it's fake kindness again. ”

"I just think that awkward child is living so smoothly, I'm a little sorry for Xiaorong~ Hehe, there's no fake kindness at all!"

Fang Qingchen sneered: "You are a woman who has no classmates to love, I don't believe that you feel sorry for Xiaorong, eighty percent of you feel unhappy." ”

Zhang Minxin chuckled and acquiesced: "But I didn't ask you to come to Yan Rin specifically to make trouble, it's obvious that you yourself feel uncomfortable." Although you have always said that Xiao Rong chose it by himself, and others have no right to put their beaks, you still feel unfair, otherwise you would not have made a special trip. Right? ”

Although it was a question, the tone was affirmative, and she recognized Qingchen's intentions for this trip.

Fang Qingchen ignored her, went straight to a teahouse, picked up a seat by the window and sat down, asked for a cup of tea, and then said, "Yes, I can't get used to it, meddle in things." However, every time we join the WTO, which time is it not sad to return? Even if Xiao Rong's stupid guy always says that he is wrong and that he chose it this way, does he really think he is a saint? Who really isn't sad at all when they're treated like this? It's just that sadness can be covered with a smile, and it can be hidden with other things, but you can't deceive yourself. ”

After speaking, he seemed to think of something, took a sip of tea, and put it down silently.

Zhang Minxin was silent for a while: "That's why you chose a more tragic way to end your life every time because you know the weight you have in the hearts of your simulated subjects, so that's your revenge, right?" ”

"It's not revenge, it's just that I don't want to continue."

"You...... But you have gone too far with Chu Ruohong! Don't you see how much he regrets and suffers? Zhang Minxin is still haunted by that cute little rabbit-like child.

Fang Qingchen looked out the window, and said after a while: "What's the use of regretting now?" Some things are lost, they are lost, they cannot be made up or irretrieved, and even if they are painful and regretful, they cannot be repeated. ”

"I can't tell you! What are you going to do here? Zhang Minxin asked angrily.

"What to do? I'm just telling him the 'truth' he needs to know, and it's not up to me what happens to him. Fang Qingchen shrugged, looking unconcerned.

"What if he's crazy too, how do you explain it to Xiaorong?"

"How so? Xiao Rong raised him so successfully, no matter what the situation, he will not forget his responsibilities and obligations, so he will still be a good emperor. ”

"So confident...... Did you calculate it? Zhang Minxin rubbed the goosebumps on her arm: "I seem to have just found out today that you are so terrible." ”

"Terrible?" Qingchen chuckled, his eyes crossed the street, as if he had seen a past life far away. Is it scary? What is this pain compared to betrayal? However, those who have not experienced it will not understand......

Zhang Minxin muttered in her stomach: "Be careful!" ”

(iv)

Fang Qingchen went out for a long time before Yan Rin suddenly remembered to call Feng Changqing.

Feng Changqing was shocked, someone broke into the imperial study, the guards didn't notice it, he knelt down sweatingly: "The minister is derelict in his duties, and the crime deserves death." ”

Yan Rin's expression was a little tired: "Forget it, I just need you to find him and bring a message." ”

Feng Changqing solemnly took the order.

Flipping through the folds, Yan Rin only stared at the pile of callers above in a daze, his heart went up and down, and his mind couldn't be quiet at all. One moment it was Rong Xiang's gentle admonition before leaving, another moment he said coldly, "Your Majesty, you made my leg bleed again", one moment he held his warm embrace when he was a child, another moment he was bloodily tied to the court, and finally he might ...... No, no, no, it must not be! He didn't dare to think about this possibility, he must have left only because he hated me and hated me...... Although the thought of him hating himself, Yan Rin's heart hurt as if it had been burned by fire.

Distraught, he threw away the fold: "Come on, move to Yonghe Palace." ”

Yan Rin came to Yonghe Palace again in one day, which Le Chang never expected, although she was very happy, but she also discovered Yan Rin's uneasiness. After waving everyone away, she carefully considered it and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty has something on your mind?" ”

Yan Rin smiled bitterly, "The princess is really ice and snow smart. ”

"Lechang is not talented, maybe he can't share his worries, but if His Majesty wants to say, Lechang is willing to be a listener."

Yan Rin let go of her frowning brows and sighed, "The princess is so understanding, how can King Qin be reluctant?" ”

Le Chang's face stiffened when he heard this, and he said in a low voice: "Why don't you want to ...... Cheng Huan's knees?"

Yan Rin knew that something was wrong when she saw her face change, and hurriedly remedied: "I'm abrupt, princess, don't mind." ”

Le Chang could see it, and only shook his head and said, "Your Majesty doesn't have to mind. ”

For a while, the dull atmosphere spread, and the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts.

It wasn't until the hot tea became lukewarm that Yan Rin stared at the tea stalk in the teacup and said, "Princess, what would you do if you hurt the person you are closest to and love you the most?" ”

Le Chang saw that his eyes were obsessively staring at the teacup, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he intuitively said, "Of course it's an apology." ”

"What if it doesn't work?"

"Then ...... I pestered him, apologized and tried my best to make amends until he forgave me. ”

"What if it still doesn't work?"

"How is that possible? If he doesn't forgive me again, then let him beat and scold him, if it doesn't work, I'll cry to him! Since you are the person who loves me the most, how can you be willing to see me sad and sad? Lechang said it as a matter of course, as if he had done it many times before.

Yan Rin put down the cup, bitter in her heart, what you said, why haven't I done it? But he said, "I'm a man, and I can't cry easily...... He said, Be kind to yourself...... He said, to be a happy person...... Then, ignoring my cries and weepings, he left me resolutely, saying that he would never see each other......

"If so...... No matter what, it can't be undone? ”

Le Chang was stunned, this was something she had never met before, she lowered her head and thought for a while, and said slowly: "Then, maybe I'm too much......"

Like a sharp arrow into his heart, Yan Rin's face turned pale, but deep down he didn't know that he fell to the ground like a stone, it turned out that I was too much, so he wouldn't forgive me, so he left so decisively.

He put down his teacup: "Thank you, princess." After saying that, he walked out without looking back.

Lechang looked at his back inexplicably, wanting to ask something but didn't open his mouth after all.

On June 28, the preparations for the wedding were basically ready, the imperial city was decorated with lanterns, and many people in other places spontaneously set up lanterns and lit incense without waiting for the notice of the government, and everyone was excited to look forward to the biggest happy event of the year in Yan Kingdom. In addition to jubilant in the palace, there is more caution, this is a major ceremony for the emperor to marry the queen, but there must be no mistakes.

In the past month, in the eyes of others, the relationship between the emperor of Yan and the future queen can be said to have grown by leaps and bounds, the emperor must go to Yonghe Palace every day, and he is also warm to the princess, considerate, which has firmly established Lechang's unshakable position in Yan Palace.

When Lechang found Yan Rin that day, he was in the imperial study. During this time, the two of them got along with each other as much as outsiders saw, Lechang was no longer as decent to him as he was at the beginning, and somewhat returned to his previous nature in the Qin Palace, while Yan Rin felt that it was as interesting as suddenly having a younger sister, and she doted on Lechang very much, no matter what she wanted to do, she basically didn't interfere.

Pushing open the door of the imperial study, Le Chang poked his head out and called sweetly: "Brother Rin." ”

Yan Rin didn't like other people to come to the imperial study, but when she heard the sound and raised her eyes to see that it was her, she frowned slightly: "Why did you come here?" Send someone to pass it on, I'll go and find you. ”

"Hehe, I just left the palace." Lechang happily pushed the door in, as if he had encountered something good.

"Really? Mama Li follows you, right? And what about the guards? ”

Although she knew that she must be safe and sound here now, she still couldn't help but want to ask, Yan Rin couldn't help but laugh at herself, this chicken woman really looked like she had learned a lot of appearance.

"Well, they all followed. I went to the temple, and on the way I heard a lot of people talking about you. ”

"Oh? Say what? ”

"Of course you mean you're a good emperor!" After speaking, he also circled around Yan Rin, and sighed that it really lived up to its name.

When Yan Rin heard this, her chest felt like she had been hit, and she was sullen.

Everyone in the world says that I am a good emperor, but I can't hear the praise I want to hear the most......

You said you wanted to be a good emperor, and I did it, but as for being a happy person, maybe I couldn't do it in my life...... But you probably don't care anymore, do you?

Exhaled lightly, and took Lechang, who was still circling around him, to the window and sat down: "Okay, don't revolve around me anymore." Tired, right? The imperial dining room has prepared a chilled sour plum soup, do you want to drink it? ”

"Drink, drink! Thank you, Brother Rin! I liked it the most! Lechang clapped his hands with joy, and couldn't wait to pick up the window in anticipation.

Yan Rin rubbed the corners of his forehead and said, "You rest first, I still have some things to deal with, and I will accompany you back to Yonghe Palace in a while." ”

Le Chang turned around and grimaced at him: "No need, Brother Rin is so busy, I'll just go back by myself in a while." ”

Yan Rin smiled and didn't say much, and sat back at the desk to continue to watch the recital.

It stands to reason that the newlyweds should not meet before marriage, but Yan Rin has never tabooed these, and Lechang is half a child, so the ceremonial officials didn't dare to say anything, so they went.

(5)

It was an auspicious day in a few days, because Lechang was married far away, many of the etiquette before were simple, but the gift of welcoming relatives could not be simple, so she temporarily moved back to the hotel, waiting for the marrying official to greet her.

In the past few days, the two of them have been busy, trying on dresses for a while, listening to the ceremonial officials nagging about the steps of the wedding, and then this and that for a while. Yan Rin is okay, after all, there are state affairs to deal with, coupled with the majesty of the Son of Heaven, no one dares to pester him all the time, most of them just send things to him to see and try, and it's just neat. Lechang is different, the old palace ladies all said, how big a deal it is to canonize the queen, how important is the future queen's Fengyi, how can there be a little mistake? So it was a medicinal diet, a bath, a fitting and a makeup trial, and she also got a blessing from the temple, and was tossed by a group of people every day when she got up in the morning, so that she asked someone to bring a letter to Yan Rin, "Brother Rin, please come and marry me quickly, I am about to be tossed to death by them." ”

Yan Rin couldn't cry or laugh after seeing it, and wrote back a letter to her to appease.

In fact, Yan Rin has been a little restless in the past few days, and the message he brought to Changqing is said to have been received by that person, but there has been no news for more than a month since then. Obviously, he was looking forward to Fang Yifei being able to bring back some news, but he was afraid that it would bring bad news, so even if he knew that Fang Yifei had returned to the capital, he didn't dare to send someone to look for it, just waiting for him to come to him. But Fang Yifei just seemed to have forgotten about it, and after entering Beijing, he found an inn to live in, closed the door, Ren Yanrin waited left and right, and there was no movement.

Tomorrow is the day of the wedding, and the people in the capital have rested early in order to get up early to have a lively time, and the forbidden army in the imperial city has also strengthened patrols and vigilance.

Just after the hour, a young man in blue knocked on the door of the welcome building. The shopkeeper looked at the young man's clothes that were not rich or expensive, and eighty percent of them were coming for tomorrow's wedding, and then looked at the figure next to him who looked like a bodyguard with a cold expression, and said with a helpless and humble smile: "This guest officer, I'm sorry, the shop is already full, if the guest officer lives in the hotel, bother looking for another home." ”

The young man said, "We don't live in the store, we're looking for people." ”

Xiao Er hurriedly dodged away and let them into the room: "Dare to ask the guest officer who to find?" Need a small lead way? ”

"No need, you can get busy." The young man motioned to the people around him to give Xiao Er a reward, and went upstairs by himself.

The guard sent Xiao Er away, and hurriedly caught up with the young man before he went upstairs, and called softly, "Your Majesty ......"

Yan Rin paused: "Feng Changqing, you just wait below, don't follow." ”

"But......" Feng Changqing wanted to say more, but was stopped by Yan Rin with a look.

"Yes."

Pushing open the hidden door, Yan Rin was a little surprised, Fang Yifei seemed to know that he would come, and had already poured two cups of tea and waited for him.

"Sir knows I'm coming?"

Fang Yifei was noncommittal, motioned for him to sit down, and slowly took a sip of tea.

Yan Rin also calmly picked up the teacup and took a sip, seeing that Fang Yifei hadn't taken the initiative to speak, he asked, "What is the ...... Mr. entering Beijing this time?"

Fang Yifei still didn't speak, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about how to speak.

The sand of the timepiece slowly fell, and the small room smelled of emptiness.

Just as Yan Rin was about to ask again, Fang Yifei suddenly made up his mind and said, "Your Majesty, it's not that I entered Beijing this time to watch the ceremony. ”

Yan Rin didn't seem to understand what he meant, "Watch the ceremony......"

"Yes," Fang Yifei nodded, "Isn't tomorrow Your Majesty's wedding?" Your Majesty really shouldn't have come out of the palace at this time. ”

"I'm just ......" Yan Rin wanted to explain, but couldn't think of any reasonable excuse.

Fang Yifei shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the big wedding is a major event of the country, I think Xiaorong should have taught you all these truths, you better go back quickly." ”

"No!" Yan Rin stood up, paused, and said hurriedly: "Mr. knows why I came, why didn't he tell me for a long time?" ”

Fang Yifei raised his eyes to look at him, and his sad eyes instantly stinged Yan Rin, his hands and feet were cold for a while, and he trembled even when he spoke: "Could it be ......?"

Fang Yifei didn't seem to have any intention of talking to him anymore, and turned around and said, "It's not that this time I entered Beijing except to watch the ceremony, there is nothing else to do." As for what His Majesty wants to know, it is not that he does not know anything. ”

"You!" Yan Rin was extremely angry and shouted: "You obviously know his whereabouts!" Isn't it? Why didn't you tell me? ”

Fang Yifei sighed: "Your Majesty, tomorrow is the big wedding, why bother to get to the bottom of it now?" What if you know, what if you don't know? Everything is a certainty, and some things are better not to know than to know. ”

"I ......" Yan Rin was infected by his heavy tone, his heart was empty, he closed his eyes and gritted his teeth: "No, I want to know!" "Even if it's possible that it's already the worst......

"You ......" Fang Yifei saw his firm expression and sighed again: "Okay, I'll tell you." A few months ago, a woodcutter on the outskirts of Beijing saw a one-armed man covered in blood lying in the mud, and he didn't know whether he was dead or alive. When he passed by again the next day, the man was gone, perhaps dragged away by a wild dog. After that, as if he didn't dare to look at him anymore, he turned his head to look out the window.

Yan Rin's mind was blank when he heard this, as if he couldn't accept what he had just heard, only that his heart was cracked, and blood was dripping out, and it hurt terribly, but he couldn't scream.

Appearance, his appearance is gone, gone...... This time, there was not even a corpse...... ...... by wild dogs ...... by wild dogs

No, no, he didn't believe it, and he disappeared the next day, maybe he was rescued by someone?

He trembled and asked in a voice not much louder than a mosquito, "What about ...... Will...... Someone rescued him......"

"Hmph," Fang Yifei sneered, "Rescue?" I wish he had died by then, and that he would have been spared much of the suffering that followed. ”

"You...... What do you mean? ”

"Your Majesty, do you know? Xiao Rong even did not hesitate to break the taboo in order to save you, and anyone who used the taboo could be almost invincible in the world for a while, but in the end they could not escape the end of the ashes. Ordinary people's bodies can't withstand too strong force, and they will eventually explode and die, even if they can get away with it at that time, they will break their muscles and veins, and their bones will be shattered, like a waste person, and the pain will be a hundred times more painful than Ling Chi, and it will not end until death. ”

"How can this be......" Yan Rin's face was colorless, her lips were blue, and her eyes were staring blankly at the floor.

"No...... No...... I've done so much...... He must hate me, how could this be...... Come and save me......"

Fang Yifei glanced at him, as if he couldn't bear it, but he continued: "He was reluctant to let you watch him disappear, so he left ruthlessly. The woodcutter found him some distance from the palace, and he must have ridden alone until he could no longer support him. How can you think he will hate you? ”

"I ...... I ......"

"Your Majesty, he has a deep affection for you, so, do you still want him to live like this?"

The words are like blood, and every sentence is heart-wrenching. Yan Rin was like being struck by lightning, her face was gray, and she couldn't speak for a long time.

Fang Yifei finished speaking in one breath, and there was a dead silence in the room.

He waited for a while, sighed lightly, closed his eyes, cheered up and walked to the door, and said:

"Your Majesty, it's not early, there are big things tomorrow, please go back."

Yan Rin looked up at him blankly, and then looked at the door.

Yes, there will be a big wedding tomorrow, and Lechang, everything he can't throw and shouldn't put it, people all over the world are still looking forward to it, and Qin Guo is also watching, he is the monarch of Yan State, so he can't cry or fall. Raise your legs like a marionette, take one step, two steps......

Outside the door, there is the land of Yan Kingdom, the people of Yan Kingdom, the future of Yan Kingdom, the sky of early summer is slightly purple, and a new day is about to begin.
