Chapter 4: Ten Years of Protection

In the next few days, Rong Zhen could clearly feel that her body was getting weaker and weaker, and she saw Mu Jinglan more and more.

Speaking of which, Mu Jinglan can also be regarded as her life-saving benefactor.

When Chu Nanchen chased and killed in every possible way before, if he hadn't rescued her, I was afraid that she wouldn't have survived today.

Now she has sent him what he wants, and she can be regarded as returning this love.

Shun and 21 years, August 12, night.

Rong Zhen lay quietly on the bed, barely seeing a trace of blood on her pale little face.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

The room was extraordinarily quiet, almost dull, and only Rong Zhen's intermittent coughing could be heard.

"Vera ......"

Mu Jinglan's voice suppressed a thick pain, seeing Rong Zhen so uncomfortable, his heart was like a knife.

Mu Jinglan secretly guarded Rong Zhen for ten years.

I still remember that when he was ten years old, his mother told him that when her life was hanging by a thread, it was Su Rongyue who saved her life, and the jade pendant was the evidence.

And now, that jade pendant is on Rong Hao's body, so she asked Mu Jinglan to protect Rong Zhen for her.

Since then, Mu Jinglan has put the little girl carved in her heart.

This outfit is a full decade.

Seeing that Mu Jinglan's eyes were slightly red, Rong Zhen spoke softly, "Your Majesty doesn't have to be sad, everyone has their own fate."

Dying tonight is Rong Zhen's life. ”

Seeing Rong Zhen like this, the corners of Mu Jinglan's eyes became more moist.

He knew he couldn't keep her.

For the first time in ten years, he put aside his worries and stepped forward boldly, grabbing Rong Zhen's fair-skinned soft twing, Mu Jinglan choked up, "Zhen Zhen, in the next life, don't like Chu Tianyu anymore, hold hands with me until you are old, okay?" ”

Rong Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile.

She is no longer the simple little girl she used to be, how could she not see the strong feelings in Mu Jinglan's eyes.

It's just that she is destined to be unable to respond.

Now he agrees, but it is just for his regret.

Looking at Mu Jinglan's handsome and dusty face, the smile on Rong Zhen's face became more and more ethereal, "Your Majesty will be a good emperor." ”

Her Rong family has exhausted her efforts for the country and the people for a hundred years, so Rong Zhen is alive, one is to avenge the Rong family, and the other is to settle this great Chu country.

Now that the Chu royal family has been destroyed and the country has fallen into the hands of Mu Jinglan, she can finally leave with peace of mind.

The vision became more and more blurred, and Mu Jinglan's face gradually became no longer clear.

"When I die, bury me under the peach tree in King Rong's mansion, okay?"

"Okay."

Mu Jinglan responded with red eyes, what she wanted, he was never reluctant to refuse.

As soon as the words fell, Mu Jinglan saw Rong Zhen's eyes closed, and a shallow smile hung on the corner of her mouth, just like the first time she saw ten years ago, pure and beautiful.

Feeling that the person in his arms had completely lost his life, the tears in Mu Jinglan's eyes could no longer be suppressed.

"Zhenzhen, you wait for me ......"

......

As Rong Zhen wished, Mu Jinglan buried her under the peach tree in Rong Wang's mansion.

Looking at the Rong Wangfu, which was already in a depression, Mu Jinglan's eyes flashed slightly.

He still clearly remembers that the first time he met Rong Zhen was in this Rong Wang's mansion, when Rong Zhen was only nine years old.

At that time, the scenery of Rongwangfu was infinite, which was completely different from today's decay.

"Your Majesty."

Fanshuang called softly, but Mu Jinglan didn't hear it.

"Zhen Zhen, since the Chu royal family can't afford the Rong family, then I will completely overthrow the great Chu country, you are in the sky, but you have to watch it carefully."

After the words fell, he glanced at Fanshuang, and Mu Jinglan turned around and left.

When only he was left in the courtyard, Fanshuang spoke, "County Lord, tomorrow is the day when His Majesty announces the world, and you should be at ease under the Nine Springs." ”

Fanshuang is Rong Zhen's personal girl, and she has been with Rong Zhen for more than ten years.

So that night, when Rong Zhen asked her to go out of the palace overnight to hand over the talisman to Mu Jinglan, Fanshuang had already guessed Rong Zhen's thoughts.

personally avenged the revenge of the Rong family, and even contained the forbidden army in the palace with his own strength.

If not, how could Mu Jinglan be so easy to enter the palace.

Mu Jinglan has 100,000 private soldiers in his hands, plus 20,000 elite soldiers in Rong Wangfu, although it is a large force, but since Chu Tianyu can get to this point, his mind is naturally not to be underestimated.

Speaking of Chu Tianyu, a cold flash flashed in Fanshuang's eyes.

She once saw Chu Tianyu regard Rong Zhen as a treasure and hold it in the palm of her hand, and at that time, she also felt that Chu Tianyu was a good match for Rong Zhen.

But later, she also heard Wang Luo say with her own ears that Chu Tianyu had brutalized the Rong family, and she couldn't bear the sudden thunderbolt on a sunny day, let alone Rong Zhen who was in the center of the storm.

Therefore, when she knew that Rong Zhen had the intention of dying with Chu Tianyu, she didn't stop it.

She wanted Rong Zhen to live, but she knew that Rong Zhen wanted Chu Tianyu to repay the sins he had committed with his life more than to live.

The deep night was accompanied by a few intermittent cicadas, which added a bit of sadness to the already bleak night.

Frost's voice was faint, and it was particularly abrupt in this silence, "County Lord, in the days to come, Frost will always guard you." ”

As the words fell, the surroundings fell silent again, and only a stunned figure could be vaguely seen not far from the peach tree.

*

On August 16, the 21st year of Shunhe, Mu Jinglan officially ascended the throne as the emperor and changed the name of the country to Zhao, in the Zhaoyuan era.

Mu Jinglan is eloquent and strategic, has the ability to govern the country, after succeeding to the throne, he eliminated internal troubles and retreated from foreign enemies, but in three years, he governed Jokhang into a prosperous era, and everyone in the world praised it.

However, in the harem, it is always empty.

The courtiers admonished many times, but they all ended in Mu Jinglan's complete indifference.

In the fifth year of Zhaoyuan, Mu Jinglan selected a boy from the clan, made him the crown prince, and taught him the way to govern the country.

The prince was intelligent, he could discuss politics at the age of twelve, and he had a social heart, and the courtiers praised him.

In the fifteenth year of Zhaoyuan, Mu Jinglan was located in the prince, and then disappeared, and no one knew his whereabouts.

*

Rongwang's Mansion.

Mu Jinglan stood in the courtyard, a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Zhenzhen, I've come to see you......"

Now that Dazhao has settled down, he can finally drop everything and come here to accompany Rong Zhen.

"Zhenzhen, now that the country is stable and the people are happy, you can rest assured."

Previously, he spent fifteen years in order to stabilize the Zhao.

For the rest of the time, he just wanted to stay quietly by Rong Zhen's side.

In the days to come, whether it is wind, frost, rain and snow, or flowers, he will guard her here until the end of his life.

*

Her brain was so dizzy that Rong Zhen herself didn't know whether she was alive or dead now, whether it was a dream or reality at the moment.

The eyelids seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, and after a long time, Rong Zhen finally opened her eyes.

In front of the eye, it is a lotus-colored bed curtain, and the delicate patterns outlined with silver threads on it are so familiar.
