After that day, I never saw Zhuangzi again. He ordered four soldiers to guard me day and night, ostensibly guarding, but in fact it was surveillance, he was afraid that I would leave, afraid that I would return to Liuyun. We're still where we are today, and we're still where we are.

I also heard from the mouths of the soldiers that the two armies faced off that day, although Zhuangzi used me to divide Liuyun's heart and caused him to be injured by an arrow, but it failed to disturb the heart of the Min army, the two armies were still equal in strength, and finally suffered countless casualties, and the two sides had to temporarily withdraw their troops after several days of continuous fighting.

I still couldn't continue to spend time with Zhuangzi, so before dawn, I rushed into Zhuangzi's military tent.

Last night, he discussed with the soldiers for a long time, and now he is obviously very tired, sitting in front of the desk with one hand rubbing his forehead, one of the soldiers who monitored me followed me in, kneeling down, "Your Majesty, the minister failed to stop Concubine Liu, and asked the emperor to surrender." ”

Zhuangzi glanced up at us slightly, lowered his head again, and waved his hand, "You go down first!" ”

In the tent, there were only two of us left.

"Zhuangzi!" I called softly, and then spoke: "I remember that year, you were seriously injured and fell in the snow, and Siyu and I saved you. You always wanted to repay me, so you trapped me in the Yoga Palace..."Before I could finish my sentence, Zhuangzi interrupted me, but his tone was much softer than that day, "You probably don't know that the first time I saw you when I woke up, I was already emotional for you. You always thought I was doing those things out of gratitude to you for saving me, but in reality, I just wanted to keep you with me. I want you to be my queen and the only wife I recognize. ”

My body stiffened, and I couldn't take another step closer to him. He slowly raised his head and struggled for a long time before he said: "The jade dragon carved jade is the precious jade that has been passed down from generation to generation by the royal family of our country, and seeing the jade is like seeing the emperor." I know that you are from Minguo, and I also know that one day I will fight for the world. At that time, as long as you have this jade on your body, even if you are the general of the Qi Kingdom, you will never be harmed, I just want to protect you from a little harm. After I killed the regent and pushed Zhuang Xiao off the throne, do you know what my only wish is? He looked at me expectantly, paused, and continued: "After unifying the world, I want you to be my rightful queen." I don't care about your past, I just care if you're by my side. ”

I closed my eyes deeply, shook my head slightly, and then opened my eyes again, looking at him with a bitter smile, "Zhuangzi, don't love me, no one who loves me will end well." If Haoxuan hadn't loved me back then, he wouldn't have died. In my heart, there is only room for the dirty clouds. I'm grateful to you, but I can't accept your kindness to me, let me go! ”

His body shook, and he got up suddenly, his hands clenched into fists, "Is that how you want to go back to him?" ”

I nodded calmly, and he stepped forward a few steps forward to grab my hand, "In your heart, you have no feelings for me?" ”

"Zhuangzi!" I called him calmly, "Actually, in your heart, you know very well whether I have feelings for you or not." It's just that kind of feeling, which is between friends and relatives. You are the emperor, why do you want to avoid these questions? You keep me here, just keep my body, my heart, you can't keep it. ”

He took a few steps back in a daze and laughed coldly, "Friends, relatives? Oh, yes! I'm the emperor, but I can't even keep a woman's heart.... Haha..."

I knew that staying was no longer a good thing for Zhuangzi, and for me, the same was true for convective clouds. Whether he lets me go or not, I have to go, because I'm afraid that I will become the next Song Liu, the Song Liu who will be used by others.

"Zhen Luo, you give me a good listen, one day with me, I will never let you leave me a step, even if you are trapped by my side for a lifetime, I will not allow you to leave my sight." He suddenly stopped laughing, and opened his mouth with a heavy mouth.

Stiff, I couldn't understand his intentions, and asked him instead: "You left me by your side because of my relationship with Liuyun." You want to use my heart more than you want to keep my heart! I'm not going to let you get your way. After speaking, I turned and walked straight out, but he grabbed my arm from behind, and the anger in his eyes was like I had never seen before, "Don't think that just because you have been used by him, I will take advantage of you." Don't look at me with the way you look at people, if I am really as you think, I can take you to negotiate terms with Rong Chenxuan, why should I fight this battle, why bother to keep you by my side? ”

I looked at him lukewarmly with a gloomy face, "I'm just asking you one thing now, will you let me go?" ”

"Don't let it go!" He rejected me with just two words.

The tent fell silent at once, and at last only the faint sound of our breathing could be heard. Now that I want to go, it's impossible, what should I do, what should I do?

I slowly withdrew from the military tent, the sky outside the tent was blue, and the moment I looked up, I seemed to see Liuyun's smiling face, and I whispered softly, "Liuyun, how are you now, are you better?" ”

"Concubine Liu!" A solemn and powerful voice came from the right, and following the voice, General Zhong Yuliang stood less than a foot away from me and looked at me, his armor reflecting a dazzling light.

"The minister has something to say to Concubine Liu, and asks Niangniang to move for a while." He bowed slightly, although I had nothing to do with him, and I didn't know what he had to say to me, but I couldn't turn people away from thousands of miles away, and nodded very peacefully.

Following Zhong Yuliang, we came to the edge of the cliff of Nanshan, and below was the surging river, and I tried to keep a distance of one zhang from him, as if I was always worried that something would happen.

He stood on the edge of the cliff, his arms folded behind his back to me, stared at me for a long time, and then said, "There are your relatives over there!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, and then I honestly agreed.

He smiled, "The old man doesn't know who you really are, and I don't know what your purpose is. But since you appeared, the emperor is like a different person, and the queen is still imprisoned because of you. Concubine Liu, since you are from Minguo, you should naturally live in Minguo, here, not a place where you should stay. ”

I glanced at the North Mountain opposite, over there, there were indeed my relatives, even though they died and perished, but they never let me forget. Liuyun, I don't know if he counts as my relative.

"When you didn't appear, the relationship between the emperor and the queen would not have deteriorated like this. The old man doesn't know what medicine you gave the emperor, so that the emperor is willing to excuse you. If it weren't for you that night, our pre-planned sneak attack wouldn't have been abandoned. What a shrewd person the emperor is, how could he avoid it at such a critical juncture because he is not feeling well? These, probably because of Concubine Liu, you are troubled by it. He said lightly, in fact, I also knew that it was indeed very inappropriate for me to do that at that time, but the situation was urgent at that time, and I couldn't think about it, Zhong Yuliang was Zhuangzi's right-hand man, even if Zhuangzi suppressed this matter for me, how could he deceive Zhong Yuliang's eyes. So, I'm not surprised that what he's saying now is what I expected.

Seeing that I didn't explain anything, he continued to tell the story, "Actually, the sneak attack that night was just a ploy, do you think we will really attack the Min army?" A disdainful sneer, the gloomy aura rendered in the air, "The emperor just wants to confirm whether you are Emperor Min's concubine, although he has always doubted, but he can't be sure." But what happened that night, he affirmed that you were Emperor Min's concubine. ”

Stunned for a moment, I stared at him blankly, could it be that Siyu did not betray me, but, but... But where did Zhuangzi see it, so that he began to suspect that I was the concubine of Minguo? I really can't figure this out. Besides, after letting this Zhong Yuliang know my identity, it is inevitable that he will not use me to blackmail Liuyun. Things seem to be getting more and more complicated.

"General Zhong, so far, I don't hide it, although I am the concubine of Minguo, I have nothing to do with Emperor Min." After this sentence came out, it made me feel redundant, indeed, who would believe it? Not to mention the great general of the country.

"If you want the old man to believe that you have nothing to do with Emperor Min, the old man really can't do it. But if you want the old man to believe that you are a spy of the Min Kingdom, the old man may still believe it. His words behind me made me feel a little scared, and when he said this, he clearly thought that I was a spy sent by Minguo.

It's ironic when I became a spy again.

"General Zhong!" I tried to explain something more, but he interrupted me sharply: "The old man will never allow the emperor to have people from the Min country around him, even if you are not a spy, the old man will not allow it." The old man would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let go of one. His grim gaze was directed at me, and he approached me step by step.

Is he going to kill me? The only thing I could think about except fear was this sentence. Stomping back, there was no one around, and I really regretted coming here with him. If you want to run now, it's a luxury.

Although he did misunderstand me, it is not possible to explain it clearly in one or two sentences now, and he will not listen to my explanation.

"General Zhong, if it's okay, I'll go back to serve the emperor first." As soon as I changed my words, I turned around and ran. Still, I don't think I'll be able to run away.

A figure jumped over my head and landed in front of me blocking my way, and when I reacted back, his hand was already clasped around my neck and moved me to the edge of the cliff step by step, "Concubine Liu, for the emperor, for the sake of the country, the old man can only do this." ”

"General Zhong, you can't kill me, once the emperor knows, he will blame you..." I begged him, I don't want to die either, because there are still many things I haven't let go.

The curvature of his mouth curled, and the eyes that glared at me became more and more profound, "Don't worry, if you die, even if the emperor investigates this matter, no one will know." As soon as the words fell, he let go of the hand that was holding my neck, and pushed me slightly, and my body was suddenly hollowed out, and I fell heavily down the cliff.

Am I going to die? Although I have experienced countless brushes with death. But this time, I didn't have such good luck, I fell into the surging river, and I couldn't even find a corpse, perhaps, this is what I am destined to not escape.

The eyes were closed very calmly slightly, very strange, but what appeared in front of me was Haoxuan's appearance, why, when I was about to die, what I saw was Haoxuan.
