At night, the drizzle crackled against the roof tiles.

Cheng Yu lay on the bed, his eyes blank.

His back was flushed, and the whip marks were still clearly visible. Huan'er looked at his wounds, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

She choked up and said while rubbing medicine for Cheng Yu: "Follow the king on an errand, you have to be very careful." You are injured like this, how can you make people better? ”

"How did I not care?" Cheng Yu said with a lot of grief and indignation: "The king is just angry with the Linglong girl. Hum! In the end, we are the ones who suffer. ”

Huan'er covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and wept a few times before she said again: "That's true, but you must not have the slightest resentment towards the king." He hit you because he hurt you. ”

Cheng Yu was taken aback, then glanced sideways at her, and said, "What do you call it, the king is angry with others for no reason, and he also hurts him?" If you hate someone, do you want to be entertained with good wine and food? ”

"Humph! Look at what you're saying, just talking to me. Huan'er said with some dissatisfaction: "The king is kind-hearted, how can he beat and scold his subordinates at will?" He must have beaten you for a deep reason. You must remember that you must not be angry with the king, otherwise it will only chill people's hearts. ”

Cheng Yu was a little angry, turned around slightly, looked at Huan'er's still lovely face, and said, "Didn't you fall in love with the king and want to make him small?" ”

Huan'er raised her eyebrows, and said with a lot of grievance: "What? Do you think I'm going to climb the branches? ”

"Otherwise, why do you speak for the king like this?" Seeing Huan'er's appearance, he also felt that his words were too heavy, but he was unforgiving.

"You...... You...... You really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain! Huan'er scolded, and then hid her face and cried.

Cheng Yu didn't follow her words, nor did he come to comfort her, but just said coldly: "Huan'er, I haven't seen you change a lot in a few years." In the past, you nailed rivets and rivets, and your heart was very bright about right and wrong. But now? When you enter the palace, you forget your roots when you get rich. ”

Huan'er ignored him, just cried vigorously. Cheng Yu felt upset, so he said, "Okay, you go out." I'll be alone for a while. ”

At this time, the door was pushed open, and it was Coral who entered.

Coral looked down at the medicine bottle and cotton cloth he was holding, and was embarrassed to see the two of them.

"Sister Sango?" Huan'er hurriedly wiped the tears from her face and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

"I ......" Coral looked at Huan'er, and then at Cheng Yu, who looked embarrassed, and the relationship between the two of them had guessed a little, so he said, "The king called me here." The king said that he did something wrong today and asked me to come and see Brother Chengyu's injury. I was going to come immediately, but I thought that the palace was short of medicine, so I went out to buy medicine before coming, so I delayed. ”

"Look!" Huan'er was reasoned again, and said to Cheng Yu: "The king is benevolent, and he is still worried about your injury." ”

Cheng Yu was nervous, for fear that Coral would say about Zhao Ru's marriage, so he had to pretend to be angry and say to Huan'er: "You always have something to say." Let's go! Don't get in my way here! ”

Huan'er was stunned for a moment and cried: "Okay! From now on, none of us will pay attention to anyone! After saying that, he ran out crying. Coral also called out "Ring!" "I wanted to stop her, but where could I stop her?

Coral looked out of the door uneasily, and saw Huan'er running farther and farther, gradually disappearing into the night. She was a little worried, but Cheng Yu stopped her: "Sango, you don't care about her, it's okay to tell her to go out and cry." ”

Coral came over and said, "Huan'er has a fierce temperament, I'm afraid something will happen to her." ”

"Humph! What could happen to her? Cheng Yu was also a little worried, but he couldn't show the slightest concern for Huan'er in front of Sango: "She's like a different person, I don't know her at all,"

Coral walked over and gently sprinkled the ointment on Sungwoo's wound. Cheng Yu's back muscles tightened, and he moaned softly. Coral asked softly, "Does it hurt?" ”

"Sort of." Cheng Yu said.

Coral gently spreads the ointment with his fingers, and the technique is extremely gentle, and I don't know how many times more comfortable than Huan'er.

"Huan'er is your cousin, isn't it?" Coral asked tentatively.

Cheng Yu knew what she wanted to ask, so he said, "Yes, our two families are relatives." However, she is her, I am me, and we don't have much to do with each other. ”

"Why do you say that?" Although these words were a bit reproachful, Sango's tone was very gentle, and there was no dissatisfaction at all: "I heard that you can come back from Lingnan this time, it is all the result of Huan'er's troubles." You just said so many things that hurt her heart, no one can stand it. ”

"I told her that I have a marriage contract with you, which was made by the king. Tell her not to come to me in the future, and make people gossip. Cheng Yu sighed again and said, "It was my heavier tone that made her cry." ”

When he said this, he thought to himself, "Huan'er, I know that you are good to me. But now I can't guess your mind, and I don't know what kind of person you are. For the sake of my future, I can only wronged you. If you really have me in your heart, don't blame me. ”

Coral said lightly: "Huan'er is also very affectionate to you. Although you and I have the marriage contract of the king, but if you really think of her, you will be glad to stay with her. Then I will go and tell the king that the king is a person who can think about others and will be considerate. ”

"No, Coral." Cheng Yu hurriedly said: "When you come to see me today, my heart is happier than ever." Huan'er grew up with me and is my good sister, and I hope she can find someone worthy of trust, but that person will not be me. ”

"But won't you repay her kindness to you?" Coral was also a little excited.

"Repay, I should repay. However, I can't afford to wronged you, and I can't bear to wronged you. There is always another way for me to repay Huan'er, but this is the only way to repay you. Cheng Yu gritted his teeth, but thought in his heart: "I was assigned to Lingnan, and I have suffered a lot, and now I have to sell myself as a slave even if I come back." All of this is due to the Huan'er family. Why should I repay her? How to repay her? ”

Coral was a little shy, and said with a smile: "I can't see that this person is like a piece of wood, but he can only pick up good words." ”

"What I said is true." Cheng Yu said: "From now on, I will only cherish you alone, and I will never forget the kindness of the king and you." ”

Hearing his words, Coral was so moved that she almost burst into tears. She held back her tears and said, "Okay, okay, I'll put the ointment here, and I'll wipe it for you tomorrow." ”

"You're leaving?" Cheng Yu asked.

"Why don't you go, listen to you say something sour?" Coral snorted and pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the tears from her eyes.

Cheng Yu was about to speak, but the door was pushed open again. This time it was Zhao who came in.

The two of them seemed to be a little embarrassed when they saw Zhao. Coral hurriedly got up and saluted, Cheng Yu also struggled to get up, Zhao seemed to hurriedly come over to help him, and said, "Don't be polite, you are so good that you will be raised." ”

"Thank you...... King Xie. Cheng Yu was nervous and could only lie down slowly.

Zhao Ru looked at Coral next to him, who was bowing his head and his face was full of shyness, and said to Cheng Yu with a smile: "Coral is the old man in the house, I should choose a husband for her." At first, I was worried that Sango wouldn't want to follow you, but seeing you two like this made me feel much more relieved. ”

Cheng Yu was also a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you for your love." ”

"Okay, you go out first, I have something to say to Cheng Yu." Zhao seemed to instruct Coral.

"Yes." Coral answered and ran away.

Zhao seemed to close the door, sat down next to Cheng Yu, and asked, "How?" Does the wound still hurt? ”

"Thank you for your concern, the coral has given medicine to the little one, and it doesn't hurt much anymore." Cheng Yu replied uneasily.

"Well, that's very good." Zhao Ru said: "Today I am angry with others and cause you to suffer, I will make you a compensation, I hope you will not be jealous of me." ”

Cheng Yucheng was terrified, and hurriedly said, "What did the king say?" The life of the small one was saved by the king, and the king wanted to beat and punish, and the small one had no resentment. What's the point of pain? ”

"I remember your credit." Zhao Ru said: "You took the risk of getting poison on the wine cup of the official family, and you did a good job. Even if Zhao Ji dike the wine and food, he couldn't dike the wine cup. One day, I will ascend the throne as the emperor, and I will make you a big official, so that you will glorify your ancestors. Coral, I also want to give her the honor of a first-class order. ”

Listening to Zhao Ru's words, Cheng Yu's heart was very moved, even if there was resentment towards him at this moment, it had disappeared, even if he died for him, he was willing.

"The king, the villain is willing to die for the king." Sung-woo struggled to get up.

Zhao Ru raised his hand to signal him to lie down, and said, "You don't have to die, none of us have to die." The damned person is Zhao Ji. Only when he is dead can we live a good life. ”

"Yes." Cheng Yu responded.

Zhao seemed to turn his eyes and said, "Tomorrow, the delicate girl is going home, I really can't rest assured." I want you to follow her. ”

Cheng Yu said: "King, this exquisite girl is Mo Yunxiao, the eldest daughter of the Mo family in Minglou. Does the king know about this? ”

Zhao seemed to nod and said with a smile: "I know." ”

"The king should also know that this person has the nickname of 'Female Yama', and she is a tyrant in Tokyo City, and she has always been the only one who bullies people, and no one has ever dared to bully her." Cheng Yu said: "Why is the king not at ease? ”

Zhao Ru smiled and said, "That's why I want you to follow her secretly, don't startle the snake." ”

Cheng Yu frowned and said, "The king is clever, but the villain doesn't understand it." ”

"This person is scheming, and he must be guarded against." Zhao seemed to smile and looked around with a solemn face. This sentence deeply shocked Cheng Yu. It turned out that all Zhao seemed to have love for Mo Yunxiao was fake, and he was still wary of her.

"I want to see what she does when she comes home and who she meets." Zhao seemed to say to Cheng Yu: "I want to leave this matter to the people around me, but your injury is really worrying." ”

"Don't worry!" Cheng Yu agreed: "Even if it is broken, the small one must repay the king's kindness." ”

Zhao seemed to nod with satisfaction and said, "That's fine." You sleep well tonight, and tomorrow will work hard for you. However, be careful not to be discovered by her. ”

"Yes, the villain understands." Cheng Yu said.

"But what if she finds out?" Zhao asked tentatively.

Cheng Yu thought for a while and said, "The little one will say that it is his own intention, and he will never involve the king." ”

Zhao Yi laughed and said, "You are smart." When you come back, I'll give you and Coral a great gift first. With a family, you can also do things for me with peace of mind. ”

"Thank you, Great King." Cheng Yu couldn't hide his joy. At this time, Huan'er's affection for him was all forgotten, and he couldn't think about it.

At the moment when Zhao seemed to be talking happily with Cheng Yu, Huan'er was looking at a pool of lake water alone and was stunned.

She took two steps forward, closed her eyes, and the tears still flowed uncontrollably.

It's not summer yet, but the cicadas are already chirping. Frogs also crowed in the lake. What a wonderful night it was, but it would be too bad for someone to end their lives on such a wonderful night.

Huan'er opened her red and swollen eyes and looked up at the dark world again. She has been abandoned here, and Western Bliss is the true Pure Land. The third grandmother Li Xian'e often recited this sentence, which was deeply reflected in her mind at this moment.

"Chengyu, only if you finish this life without disaster and disaster, can we meet again." After she finished speaking, she jumped forward, and there was a muffled "poof" sound, and the water splashed in all directions, and then the lake rolled like boiling water.

Huan'er's throw into the lake attracted the attention of a pair of eyes. The eyes slowly approached, and they saw the man struggling in the water. The owner of these eyes is Mo Yunxiao.

She had come to the lake for a walk in a pleasant mood, but she saw this shocking scene. So she jumped into the lake without thinking, and with great effort she fished out the people in the lake.

When they came ashore, they were exhausted. Mo Yunxiao gasped for breath, and couldn't help but be taken aback when she saw Huan'er, who kept vomiting and coughing, and shouted, "Huan'er? How are you! ”

Huan'er was still crying and said, "Big girl, I have no fun in life, it will only hinder the eyes of others, and I can only die clean." ”

Mo Yunxiao raised her eyebrows and asked, "Whose eyes are you hindering?" Who told you that? Isn't it Chengyu? ”

Huan'er shook her head and said, "I don't need others to tell me, I know it myself." Cheng Yu doesn't want me anymore, and the only hope I have to live is Cheng Yu. He has abandoned me, so what fun do I have? ”

"He doesn't want you, I want you!" Mo Yunxiao grabbed her hand and said, "Although I don't know what happened between you, since he hurt you, you don't have to be attached to him anymore." Come home with me tomorrow, okay? ”

Huan'er gently broke free of Mo Yunxiao's hand and said, "Thank you for the kindness of the eldest girl, but I can't leave the palace." ”

"Why? Just for Cheng Yu? Mo Yunxiao asked a little strangely.

"No, not for him, for the king." Huan'er choked up and said: "I can't repay the king's kindness, even if I die, I can only die in this palace." I can't go anywhere else. ”

Huan'er's words greatly surprised Mo Yunxiao. She was on the spot for a long time, unable to say a word.
