There was a cold drizzle that hit the lonely moss beneath the palace walls, spreading the smell of dampness. It seems that in order to match Rong Zhao's mood, she doesn't cry, and the sky will cry for her. She carried Marquis Rong on her back with difficulty, holding on to her gums, supporting her with all her might.

Because of the rain, his body was slippery and wet, and Rong Hou Ye fell down from time to time, Rong Zhao stopped and stopped, and bent down from time to time to put Rong Hou Ye up. Xiao Junjue and Gu Jinnian were on both sides, helping her.

The official road she used to walk on every time she left the palace was not as clean as usual, and it was full of people on both sides, her eyes glued to them, whispering from time to time, not knowing what she was saying.

She has walked through this official road thousands of times, but none of them are as heavy as today, and her whole heart is low to the dust.

"Rebel thief!" A man suddenly rushed out of the front, stopped in front of him, held two eggs in his hand, threw them at him, and shouted, "Kill the rebel thief! Kill the rebel thief! Avenge the emperor!"

An egg missed, and an egg "snapped" and threw it on Rong Zhao's head, shattering it. The egg whites and yolks are intertwined, slowly running down from the forehead and dripping all over the face.

Rong Zhao closed his eyes, let go of a hand to wipe the egg on his face, and just after he walked away, another rotten vegetable leaf hit Rong Zhao's face, and someone shouted: "The daughter of the rebel thief is not a good thing, hit her!

Turnips, potatoes, and even stones, I don't know who threw the bricks, smashed them on Rong Zhao's forehead, and broke the blood.

Xiao Junjue was furious, pulled out his sword, and shouted: "Whoever dares to do it again, I will cut off his hand." ”

Those who were still indignant just now were now silent, and those who were about to lose their things also withdrew their hands.

Xiao Yuheng's slander is not useless, and there are still many people who will believe his words.

Rong Zhao stopped and looked around at everyone, those people, either angry or unwilling, sympathetic and pitiful, with different expressions.

Her hair was in a messy bun, and the hair on her sideburns was stained with the residue of eggs, and the rain poured on it, intersecting with the eggs, and sticking to her injured forehead, there was a sticky and painful feeling.

It's just that at this time, these pains are insignificant to her, she raised her head, swept to everyone, and said in a loud voice: "You listen to me, my father is not a chaotic minister and thief, he has been a loyal minister for the country and the people all his life, loyal to the monarch and the country, he is a loyal minister!

The sound seems to echo in the valley, especially in the empty and silent official road, as if an ancient bell is stirring in people's hearts.

As if the tears had dried up, Rong Zhao's eyes didn't even have a layer of mist, she lifted Rong Hou Ye on her body again, bent her waist lower and lower, and continued to walk forward.

Every step she took, she said, "My father is not a thief, he is a loyal minister, my father is not a thief, he is a loyal minister, my father is not a thief, he is a loyal minister......"

The streets were eerily silent, even the rain was silent, except for the sound of heavy steps on the water, and the murmuring of whispers.

"Zhaozhao, take your father back to the Protector's Mansion first. "On the forked road, the Protector proposed that they were still in danger as they were, and the Protector Mansion could still dodge.

Rong Zhao shook his head numbly, "No, I'm going to take my father home." She took a step towards the road back to the Ronghou Mansion.

The Ronghou Mansion has been sealed, and two white notes with "sealed" written on them are cross-pasted on the gate of the Ronghou Mansion, and a few beggars sit under the porch at the door to avoid the rain.

The once prominent Rong family is now so miserable that even the two stone lions at the door have lost their former grandeur.

Looking at the two seals, Rong Zhao was furious, slowly put down Marquis Rong, stepped forward, and tore off the seals and tore them to pieces.

"Get out, get out, the place in my Ronghou Mansion is where you beggars can sit? Get out, get out!" she threw shredded paper at the beggars and kicked them again.

The beggars fled, and one of them ran a few steps and turned around and mocked, "What Ronghou Mansion, this is the home of the traitor." ”

Rong Zhao seemed to be stimulated, his eyes suddenly widened, and he pointed at the beggar, "You say it again, you say it again." ”

Seeing this, the beggar hurriedly ran, but Rong Zhao wanted to chase after him, "Are you looking for death?" I will kill you!" Xiao Junjue hugged her, she put her on his arm, and shouted at the beggar: "My father is not a traitor, he is not!"

The cry was like a rusty knife, sharp and piercing, threatening to pierce one's eardrums.

Rong Zhao turned around and grabbed Xiao Junjue's collar, his eyes were shining, and he said madly: "My father, he's not a traitor, he's not, he's not!"

"No, my father-in-law is not, he is a loyal minister, a loyal minister. Xiao Junjue hugged her and stroked her back, he stared at her deeply, affirming her from the bottom of his heart, Rong Zhao looked at his eyes, and his excitement slowly eased.

Marquis Rong was placed in the center of the hall, and a mourning hall was set up here, and Rong Zhao would not let him not even have a decent mourning hall after his death. She knelt beside him and carefully washed his face with a towel.

"My father used to be very white, why did I wipe it for so long, and it was still so dark?" After washing the water several times, the black color on Marquis Rong's face did not lessen much.

Xiao Junjue changed another basin of water for her, and he sighed silently, "Zhaozhao, don't wash it again." ”

Rong Zhao paused his hand and smiled lightly, "It's okay, the man's black spots look healthy." She picked up the hand of Marquis Rong again, wiped it carefully, and wiped the blood stains in the fingerprint of the hand, "My father's hands write a good hand, a good hand, you see how beautiful these hands are, slender as bamboo, with distinct bones, it used to be these hands that led me to walk, held me to learn to write, wiped my tears for me when I cried, and poked my head when I messed around." ”

She unfolded Marquis Rong's stiff hand and touched it on her cheek, "I never took a serious look at his hand, I never had the patience to stay by his side, and I never looked at him properly." I thought that he would always be there for me, and he would appear in front of me whenever I needed him and I wanted him. ”

The tears that were held in my heart finally flowed, and the tears flowed down my face to the hand, like water holding a palm.

"Why did you leave me, Dad, I haven't honored you properly, why don't you give me a chance, come back, wake up, open your eyes and look at me, look at your favorite daughter. ”

Rong Zhao shook the shoulders of Marquis Rong, but he could no longer be as naughty as she was when she was a child, and when he shook the sleeping Marquis Rong, he would wake up.

"Daddy, I beg you to open your eyes and look at me, don't leave me, don't leave me, I beg you, I beg you. I will definitely listen to you in the future, I will definitely restrain my temperament, and I will never let you worry about it again. Have you forgotten what you promised Lantern Festival and Lotus Rong? You said that you would go to see them in winter, and now it's going to be winter, get up, get up and go back to Yizhou with me to see them. Rong Zhao lay on the chest of Marquis Rong, crying and grabbing the ground, "You can't break your word, you can't break your word, they are still waiting for you, still waiting for you." ”

Rong Zhao shouted one after another heart-rending screams, and his voice was already hoarse.

Gu Jinlin stepped forward to comfort his cousin, Xiao Junjue shook his head at him, just let her cry, she has been holding it in her heart for too long and needs to vent it. Otherwise, you'll be crazy.

That day, Rong Zhao's tears never stopped, and his swollen eyes couldn't be opened, still crying. She knelt beside Marquis Rong and talked to him about the past, sometimes crying, sometimes laughing, as if she was crazy.

"Dad, do you know that I had a dream, in which I did something wrong, and you were very disappointed, and you broke off the father-daughter relationship with me, and you don't want me anymore. Later, you left the city of long songs and lived in seclusion. I really hope that everything will come according to the dream, I really can't wait for all the suffering to come to me alone, I only hope that you can live well and live a long life. If I know that it will be the end of today, then I will not change everything, I will follow everything in my dream, step by step. It's me, my change, that caused your current end, it's all my fault, it's my fault. ”

Xiao Junjue came in with porridge, Rong Zhao hadn't eaten for a day, and he hadn't touched a drop of water. Xiao Junjue, a few people from the Protector of the Country, had already asked them to go back first, Xiao Yuheng and Liu Fuxin were worried that there was no reason to ask the Protector Mansion for their crimes, and if they stayed for too long, they would be talked about again.

Putting the porridge aside, Xiao Junjue gently wiped Rong Zhao's tears, he could only be careful, Rong Zhao's eyes were swollen like two blisters, and his appearance changed vaguely.

Rong Zhao seemed to be numb, she couldn't see others in her eyes, and only said what she wanted to say, "I shouldn't marry Xiao Junjue, I should marry Xiao Jinyu like in my previous life." If nothing changes, you don't die. ”

Xiao Junjue's hands were stunned, his wrists trembled slightly, he clutched the towel and slowly put it down, and left the hall with his head down.

He didn't go far, but sat down on the steps of the doorway, looking up at the dark sky, not knowing what was going on in his mind.

When Xiao Junjue went in again, Rong Zhao had already fallen asleep on the body of Marquis Rong, she was so tired, she hadn't closed her eyes for a few days, and she was too tired after crying for a day.

He knew that the first thing she woke up to see Marquis Rong was to see her, and he didn't take her to the other courtyard to rest. Seeing that there was a soft couch in the bedroom, he moved over and hugged Rong Zhao to sleep.

He didn't sleep with her, he had been on the march for many years, and it was common for him not to sleep for days and nights, and he had become accustomed to it.

Xiao Junjue walked to the side of Marquis Rong, his body gradually fell to the ground, and his knees fell to the ground, "Father-in-law is above, I, Xiao Junjue, swear to the sky, today's great revenge, he will be avenged one day, and the person who harms you, I will definitely crush his bones and scatter ashes." ”

With a "boom", lightning struck a huge thunderbolt in the sky like a flower, and the white light flashed, illuminating the mourning hall and shining on Xiao Junjue's gloomy face.
