Chapter 56

I stood there as if I had been struck by lightning, and my body stood there steadily, for so long, no matter how Ling Haoxuan showed favor to me, I never pleaded for Haoxi, for fear that he would threaten me with Haoxi, but I never thought that he would catch my weakness in the end. Hao Qian hugged me tightly, in case I fell, his voice was bitter: "Brother Huang, why do you bother us!" ”

"Sorry for you?" He didn't seem to understand what we were saying, and after a moment, he looked at us: "Am I making things difficult for you, or are you making things difficult for me?" After so many years, can't you see my heart for you? ”

I looked at him blankly and thought this sentence was extremely funny: "Do I have to marry you if I can see it?" If I like me, I have to marry him, then I have been married hundreds of times, thousands of times! ”

His figure flickered, barely steady.

"Ling Haoxuan, what the hell did I do wrong, you have to treat me like this! I asked myself if I had never done anything sorry for you, but you pushed me again and again, are you trying to force me to death?! I pointed at him, tears streaming down my face.

"Did I force you? Or are you forcing me? He looked straight at me, his eyes lit up. His gaze slowly shifted along my face to a pair of arms on my shoulders, and he suddenly laughed, but the smile was full of sadness: "Su Ruo, I originally wanted to go to your house to issue an edict in person after watching the second brother, and I happened to see you here, so I will give it to you directly!" He took out a golden scroll from his bosom and threw it in front of me, "On the first day of the first lunar month, I want to make Su Ruo the queen, if you don't want to see Ling Haoxi's body, if you don't want Ling Haoqian to resist the decree and refuse to marry and be imprisoned, then obediently enter the palace!" On the first day of the first month, I am waiting for you in the Zhengyuan Palace! ”

As his last word fell, a fishy sweetness suddenly welled up in my throat, and then I saw a bloody light spray out in front of me, and then I heard Hao Qian's scream. My body slowly softened, and in the last moments of my consciousness, I saw a teardrop run across his face.

The moonlit night was cloudy, like frosted glass covered with mist, revealing a drowsy chill......

Ling Haoqian stood in the courtyard of King Jing's Mansion, the fire candles in the lantern under the eaves shone brightly on his face, his face was clearly shimmering, and the rare light gray light and shadow swayed on his cheeks, like an impenetrable fog.

"Your Highness?" Zhuo Zhan tentatively whispered: "Deeper exposure, the arrow wound last time hurt the vital point, you must not take care of yourself again." ”

Ling Haoqian stood there, his eyes were silent, his gaze was like a cloud cruising in the sky, making people unpredictable. When he was only two years old, his mother had passed away, so he was not impressed by her, his father was buried in government all day long, even if he returned to the harem, so many children, how could he take care of himself, but the royal brother, since he was a child, he took care of himself, took care of himself, and took himself with him wherever he went. It is said that the prince and princess have golden branches and jade leaves, who can know how trembling the children without a strong mother and unfavored children are. The royal brother is the eldest son, but the mother concubine is just an ordinary concubine, which means that the two brothers will definitely be troubled by the concubines who have princes in the harem. Since he was a child, no matter how kind the queen and those concubines were, the imperial brother never dared to let himself eat a little of what they rewarded, nor did he dare to leave his sight for a moment. He took his immature hand forward, held his hand and taught him to write, held him to learn to ride a horse, comforted him when he woke up in the middle of the night, took care of him when he was sick, and tried his best to live under the hands of the concubine......

From childhood to adulthood, he admired his brother, admired his brother, believed in his brother, and obeyed his brother's arrangement, even if his father repeatedly hinted at himself, he turned a deaf ear, and even on the eve of this return to Beijing, it was not that no one hinted in his ear, reminding himself that this would be a great opportunity, and the army of 200,000 was the best bargaining chip for himself to ascend to the throne, but he still gave up, he wishfully believed that the imperial brother was the only choice, the imperial brother who always thought about himself.

However, I don't know when he started, he changed, he no longer cared about his feelings, became selfish, and even robbed his own woman. Every time he thought of this, he couldn't stop his heartache, he couldn't forget his cold appearance, he couldn't forget Su Ruo's pale fall in his arms, and he couldn't forget the desperate and helpless pain......

He didn't understand, why is this happening? They are close brothers, he already has so many concubines, why should he take away his love? Why did he stab him when he thought he could celebrate his success? It's better to kill him, at least, to die a happy death.

The cold wind howled, like biting ice streaked across him.

"Your Highness, the emperor has arrived!"

Ling Haoqian didn't look back, he just swallowed the fire swimming in his chest fiercely, Ling Haoxuan stood silently behind him, he knew that he might be treated like this, but when he really faced it, he was still a little uncomfortable. He grew up watching his younger brother grow up with him, and naturally understood that although he seemed gentle, he was strong-willed. And his own behavior was a great blow to him. But he still came, he didn't want to just wait, he didn't want the brotherhood between them to slowly change into the righteousness of the monarch and the minister, and he didn't want the day when they would go against each other and break off the righteousness.

He was silent for a long time, but still shouted: "Second brother! ”

Ling Haoqian didn't answer, and didn't even look back.

Ling Haoxuan let out a long sigh and walked behind him silently: "I know you hate me, you must think that I did it on purpose." I want to welcome Su Ruo into the palace because I want to tell you that I am the emperor, and I can no longer care about the brotherhood between us, and I can do whatever I want in front of you. He smiled bitterly, "I have just ascended the throne, my foothold is not stable, there is an invasion of foreign enemies outside, and there is political instability inside, it is when I need your help the most, why should I be eager to make this evil appearance in front of you?" Teach you to hate me, and teach others to think that I am a ruthless and unintentional emperor, teaching brothers to be centrifuged, and monarchs and ministers to deviate from morality? ”

Ling Haoqian finally turned his head, the moonlight shone on his face, there was a faint layer of light and mist, and his face was a little pale and haggard. He looked at him silently for a long time before finally speaking: "Otherwise? Why can't Su Ruo alone? ”

He sighed long, he had made a lot of preparations and thought of a lot of rhetoric before he came, he wanted to tell him that only by welcoming her into the harem could the Su family really be used by him, and he also wanted to tell him that Su Ruo was a woman who could really afford to be in the back, and when she was planning the academy, she was already destined to have no ordinary life. But at this moment, he was speechless, was it really because of these? Is it really just because of these? Oh, yes! Or else? Why is it Su Ruo?!

As the night wore on, the curtains fell, making the whole courtyard more and more lonely and cold......

I silently leaned on the purple rhombus cushion, quietly looking at the delicate magnolia flower on the quilt, tears rolling down my pale and emaciated cheeks, falling on my wrist along the arc of my chin, and sitting like this all night.

"Ruo'er, my brother knows that you are bitter in your heart, but the holy decree has been issued, everything is irreparable, now that the new monarch has just ascended the throne, the kings are eyeing each other, it is the time when the emperor needs support the most, if you resist the decree and refuse to marry at this time, others will inevitably doubt the relationship between our Su family and Haoxi, and even more alienated the relationship between the emperor and King Jing. In the silence, a deep voice slowly sounded, "Besides, Hao Xi is still in the prison, if it is ......"

I listened silently, without joy or sorrow, as if these words had never passed my ears.

It's not that I can't think of this, I don't want to think about it at all, and I don't dare to think about it, this is not my country, I have no obligation to sacrifice my emotions to fulfill him, I even thought about leaving, the world is so big that there is no place for me, but, after experiencing the loneliness of the previous life, I was still shackled by family affection, so that I didn't dare to fly high. Tears welled up, but my eyes were dry, my heart ached so suddenly, my throat was salty, and it seemed that liquid was spilling out of the corners of my mouth, until the purple satin turned red, until my brother's exclamation penetrated my eardrums, and it was not until the cold wind mixed with the snow blew open the window lattice, and I fell limply. The snow is vast, the sky and the earth are dim and upside down, I seem to see Hao Qian again, see him looking at me gently, and call "Ruo'er" softly.

Like a withered lily, I will eventually decay day by day. The weather is getting colder and colder, the cold wind is raging across the earth, and the imperial doctor of the Tai Hospital goes back and forth more than a dozen times a day, and all kinds of precious medicinal materials are sent to the Zhenguo Mansion like water, but there is no improvement. I wonder if I can go back if I just die, and although there are not so many silk and satin jewelry, I can breathe fresh and free air, but even if there is everything, there is no ......

I also thought, in the era of living in the past, what a cheap thing love was, who can guarantee that they will marry the person they love, who can guarantee that they will always love the person they love, isn't it always written in the book that marrying anyone is the same? It's just a lifetime! Those chicken soup for the soul has long interpreted love as fragile and feathers, why am I still so painful? Is it really because of the slow carriage and horses in this era, there is only enough love for one person in a lifetime?

The wind outside the window was miserable, making a whimpering sound, and a warm liquid slowly flowed down my face, and the strength of my whole body was drained a little bit, and I leaned softly. Vaguely, it seems that the spring flowers are still blooming that year, his clothes are fluttering, standing in the March spring garden, looking back at the twilight, his eyes are like stars, the corners of his mouth are smiling, he looked at me recklessly, and said with a chuckle: "Be careful in the future!" ”

Perhaps, that encounter was wrong in the first place.

Shaohua spring, bright morning light, after all, was covered with heavy E'an soil ash by the smoke and dust of this earthly world. The sky is clear and clear, but it is no longer the clouds and clouds of the day, leaving only ruins and broken walls, flashing dark yellow shadows in the dark night, ridiculously stubborn thoughts on those simple years that have passed.
