It was already evening in the next dynasty, and the ministers hurried back to their homes, but Prime Minister Ye Cheng did not leave for a long time, but waited for Wei to leave at the gate of the Xuanzheng Palace, and hurriedly stepped forward to talk.

"Slow down."

Prime Minister Ye Cheng is already in the age of ear shun, and his hair has long been mottled, but at this time, he looks even more vicissitudes under the sunset, the wrinkles on his face can no longer be hidden, his lips are chapped, his eyes are bloodshot, and he speaks with a trill, "Please also ask the prince to save my child's life." ”

Ye Cheng was a son he only had when he was middle-aged, and he was talented, filial and respectful, he was his favorite, and he really couldn't bear to watch his precious son suffer at this age.

Wei Li and Ye Cheng also had some affection, and Prime Minister Ye Cheng personally begged him, and ordinary people would help him more or less, but Wei Li cruelly refused, "Instead of begging me to find a way, Prime Minister Ye Cheng should go to the Qin Mansion first." ”

After Wei Li finished speaking, he followed the inner servant to the inner prison to visit Chu Luan.

Prime Minister Ye looked at the sunset that was about to set, and a sense of powerlessness arose. has been an official for most of his life, and little by little he has climbed from a showman to today's high position, but now he is ...... It's really impermanent.

When Wei left to see Chu Luan, he didn't forget to go to the imperial dining room to bring some delicious meals, and he thought to himself: I don't know what Miss Chu likes to eat, I don't know what expression she will show when she eats her favorite meal, and what will she do when she sees something she doesn't like to eat? I really want to know more about her.

But before Wei Li could deliver the food, Chu Luan was already poisoned.

This time she searched her whole body, but she couldn't find an antidote. I can only endure it on my own.

The pain gradually spread from his heart to his whole body, Chu Luan slowly curled up, leaning against the corner of the wall, his forehead was covered with beads of sweat, and his teeth were about to bite his lips, so he didn't let out a sound.

"King Yongning is really good to the county lord, and he even came to visit in person." The jailer's voice came.

"Open the door." Wei Li gave an order, and the iron door in the distance made a dull sound.

"Then the prince, you talk slowly."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and in a hurry, Chu Luan pulled the thin quilt on the bed and wrapped himself. Turning away, there was no one to see.

Although Chu Luan was detained, her conditions were no worse than usual, her room was out alone, and it was specially cleaned by the palace people, and the things in it were all used well, compared with ordinary prisoners, it was a world of difference.

Wei Li opened the door, put the food on the table, and urged Chu Luan to eat.

"The cell is heavy, and the prince still doesn't want to stay for a long time...... Okay, you put things in there. Chu Luan's tone was a little eager, and at first glance it sounded like he was angry.

But Wei Li specially instructed that no one should tell Mrs. Chu Luan Qin about it privately, so why would she still be angry.

didn't hear the footsteps of Wei leaving, Chu Luan was anxious and afraid.

"Miss Chu, are you uncomfortable?" Wei Li picked up the candle on the table and stepped forward, Chu Luan felt that her quilt was leaving her, and her hands were pulling the thin quilt with the other party, and it was also through Wei Li's candlelight that she saw that her hands were already crawling with black lines, for fear of being discovered by him, Chu Luan hurriedly let go.

Tearing off the thin quilt, he saw Chu Luan leaning against the corner of the wall and shrinking into a ball, Wei Li thought she was afraid of the dark, and deliberately brought the candle closer, "Miss Chu, it's cold on the ground, don't catch a cold." ”

As he spoke, he was going to drag Chu Luan up again.

Chu Luan was anxious to become an ant on a hot pot, I don't know if it was because she was angry or because she didn't take the antidote, her heart ached, as if ten thousand ants were devouring her heart, after all, she didn't hold it back, and a painful moan escaped from between her teeth.

Wei Li finally found that something was wrong with Chu Luan, he forcibly broke the other party's body, and after seeing her appearance clearly, Wei Li was stunned for a while.

The face of the person in front of her was covered with terrifying black lines, her face was hideous, her hair was soaked with sweat, and a few strands of green silk were close to her neck, entangled with the black lines, like a ghost, and she had lost her usual bright and moving appearance.

Chu Luan also saw the horror in the other party's eyes, she used all her strength to push him away, and she also fell to the ground without strength, one hand was still covering her chest, the green tendons in the corners of her forehead burst out, and her whole body began to convuls, she sneered, it was self-deprecation, and it was also to drive away all those who wanted to get close to her, "Do you still like me now?" ”

She looked at the person in front of her with a smile on her face, but Wei Li saw pain and loneliness in her eyes.

"You see, actually...... I don't have anything to like about me, I'm disgusting, and ...... The femme fatale is hearty, so my loved ones abandoned me, the people I trusted the most betrayed me, and I was the Lone Star. Chu Luan stumbled and endured the severe pain and said, "You should also stay away from me." ”

She closed her eyes, and although she said the most ruthless words, she knew that when she saw Wei Li afraid of herself, her heart was indeed cold, like falling into an ice cave.

I didn't hear the movement on the other side for a long time, just when Chu Luan thought he had left, he was suddenly taken into his arms, even though it was summer, Chu Luan had been living a cold winter-like life, and at this moment, her heart was warmed.

The other party's magnetic and gentle voice came from overhead, "I won't stay away from you, you forgot, I'm going to put river lanterns with you." Wei Li gently rubbed the top of Chu Luan's hair with his chin, "Every year in the future, I want to put river lanterns with you." He spoke the most ordinary love words in the gentlest tone.

Chu Luan suddenly felt very aggrieved, aggrieved for no reason.

Wei Li continued to coax her like a child, "I know you have a bad temper, but don't worry, I have a good temper, you can tell me any grievances, and you can sprinkle any grievances on me." ”

"Don't think you're not good-looking, in my eyes, you're much better looking than me, you're the most beautiful person I've ever seen." As he spoke, Wei Li talked about the first time he met Chu Luan, "I noticed it the first time I saw you, and I was still thinking at the time, is this the daughter of Zhenbei Hou?" What a beautiful girl, how could he be willing to leave you in the ...... of Jiangnan?"

As he spoke, Chu Luan blurred his vision in his arms.

"If you have anything upset about now, you can tell me."

The pain in her body and the pain in her heart tortured Chu Luan together, forcing her to lose her helmet and abandon her armor, she wrapped her arms around Wei Li's neck, and cried aggrievedly, "I'm so painful, so cold, why doesn't anyone love me-"

The sparrow snuggled up in the arms of the male lion and confided in his heart.

That night, Chu Luan's hidden appearances were discovered by Wei Li one by one, painful, aggrieved, complaining, ugly, everything was in full view.

In the early morning, the black lines on Chu Luan's face had disappeared at some point, and she had regained her beauty, but the sequelae of the poisonous hair had not been completely eliminated, and she was still not conscious.

"What time is it?" She asked.

"It's still early, do you want to sleep a little longer?" Wei Li maintained the posture of holding Chu Luan all night, and now he could no longer feel the existence of his hands.

Chu Luan looked at the King of Yongning, who was usually infinitely beautiful, and one day he would be so embarrassed to shrink at the foot of the bed, his heart warmed, he took the initiative to squeeze into the other party's arms, leaned on his shoulders, and let his hands be released.

"On the day of Qixi Festival, let's put the river lantern together." Chu Luan closed his eyes and whispered, a little like a shy girl facing her favorite lover.

Wei Li's heart seemed to be scratched by something, tickling, "Okay, I'll wait for you by the moat." ”

What they didn't know was that at this moment, a white figure was standing not far away, watching the two people who were hugging each other tightly. The object in his hand almost turned into powder.

When Murong Jin returned to the palace, he had a big fire, Nanshan and Anther were his cronies, and they also suffered an unwarranted disaster, and they were scolded in vain.

After getting angry, he still couldn't calm the anger in his heart, locked himself in the room, smashed everything in the room, and cursed on his mouth, "Shameless! Vile! ”

"I said I didn't like her, but what happened? Take advantage of the danger of others, especially shameless! Thinking of the intimate appearance of Wei Li and Chu Luan, Murong Jin didn't get angry, smashed his fist on the pillar, then took out the porcelain bottle in his sleeve, and said viciously, "No one can snatch my things!" ”

……

In the inner prison, Chu Luan finally survived the poisonous hair, and Wei Li looked at her haggard appearance, and had the illusion that he had lost a lot of weight overnight.

Last night, Chu Luan was in his arms, although he opened his heart, but he didn't show too much vulnerability in front of him, gritted his teeth and endured the pain, and he couldn't do anything except guard her.

He felt sorry for Chu Luan, so he asked, "How long have you been like this?" ”

"Eleven years." She seems to be light and light, but there is sadness and confusion in her eyes that cannot be hidden, she lied, she has endured this heartache for many years.

She has lived two lifetimes, and she has forgotten most of the things in her previous life, so she can't even remember how long it hurt.

Wei Li was even more distressed, "Have you always been so hurt?" ”

Seeing Wei Li hanging his head, Chu Luan chuckled, turned over, and rested on his lap, his posture relaxed, as if the past was as insignificant as a floating cloud to her, "It won't hurt if you take medicine." "It's a little painful not to take medicine." ”

Through those smiling eyes, Wei Li knew that she was lying again. If those antidotes could really save her, how could he see her so embarrassed today, and still take the opportunity to be so close to her.

But Wei Li didn't demolish her, he had already figured out most of Chu Luan's temperament, a person as proud as her, easily exposing her weaknesses in front of others had already made her very unhappy, if people knew that she was just pretending to be strong, it would be humiliating her.

"Before, you ...... When you were poisoned, you couldn't stand it, and you couldn't think about it......" In the end, his voice became smaller and smaller.

"Yes." Chu Luan replied decisively, "I am also a flesh and blood person, why can I bear the pain that others can't stand it?" I've thought about leaving it at that end more than once. ”

This answer was both Wei Li's expectation and his surprise, he knew that Chu Luan would definitely not be able to stand it, but he didn't expect the other party to be so honest.

"But you persevered." This made Wei Li very admirable.

"There's no way." Chu Luan smiled bitterly, but there was a bit of sweetness in this bitterness, "I always say that I have been alone all my life, but in fact, I also have many ties in this world. Not to mention my family, friends, and mentors, I still have a mission that must be completed. ”

She stood up, picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of cold tea, Wei Li wanted to persuade her not to drink cold, it was not good for her health, but who knew that Chu Luan poured all the tea on her left hand, and then put her hand close to the lamp, and the light of the water reflected the light of the lamp, as if she had caught the light.

Many years later, Wei Li will never forget that scene: the woman held a hand of light, as if grasping the hope of life.

Chu Luan at this moment is so vivid, arrogant but not conceited, high-spirited, smiling at the world.

"Now, I just want to live." Her eyes were full of tenderness, and she said about the future, "I want to find out the truth of the year, return my innocence, help His Highness complete the great cause, and then return to Jiangnan with Luoyin." ”

"And then?" Wei Li asked.

Chu Luan chuckled, "Then? Not yet. ”

With such a ridiculous answer, others would only think that she was a foolish person without a plan, but Wei Li saw freedom in her eyes. He was suddenly a little reluctant, he liked Chu Luan, but he didn't want to extinguish the light in her hand.

……

Two days later, not only the ministers of the court, but also the people of the capital began to jointly write a letter to the people, petitioning/wishing to change the law, give an explanation to the Qin family, and give justice to all women in the world.

The emperor and his ministers were anxious about the matter, but now there was nothing they could do but change the law.

Within seven days, the emperor's list was plastered all over the street, announcing to the people of the world that since then, men have withdrawn from marriage and women are guilty of the same crime, and Ye Cheng committed crimes before the law was changed, so he escaped punishment, but the official was demoted to three levels and fined for one year, which can be regarded as calming down the turmoil.

The emperor sent a group of ministers to persuade Qin Hai to return to the imperial court, but there was little progress.

In the end, Murong Jin stepped forward and talked to Qin Hai in person, and went for a total of three days, leaving at the end of the day and returning at the end of the day.

Finally, the hard work paid off, and three days later, Qin Hai really went back to take office.

Qin Hai had already made up his mind and didn't intend to waste time with Murong Jin, so he clearly refused at the beginning, "Your Royal Highness, please go back." ”

Murong Jin didn't talk much nonsense, and directly said his purpose straight to the point, "Lord Qin, you already know the relationship between Wenjun and this king. You grew up watching Wen Jun, you should also know that she is not an ordinary woman, and now she is standing in the camp of this king, what is it for? ”

How could Qin Hai not know? Chu Luan was personally cultivated by Xuan Jun, if she were a man, she would already be an excellent politician now!

But in the battle for the throne, Qin Hai still didn't want to wade into this troubled water.

"Lord Qin, if you can vote under this king, this king will never treat you badly, and in the future, Ling Ai will be the next Wen Jun, and no one will dare to bully her or deceive her." Murong Jin started from Qin Yuan and tried to convince Qin Hai.

But the latter didn't care. The next Chu Luan? What's so good about being Chu Luan? On the contrary, they live more bitterly.

After the two broke up unhappily, Qin Yuan somehow heard about it, so he met Murong Jin privately on the second day, and reached some kind of agreement with the other party, Qin Hai was furious, but the wood was already in the boat, coupled with Qin Kite's inducement, he took refuge in Murong Jin.

And these days, Wei Changlin also entered the Qilin Army under Murong Jin's arrangement.

During the many major events that happened outside, Chu Luan could only stay in the inner prison and copy Buddhist scriptures every day to show repentance.

Except for Wei Li, no one came to visit.

On the day of Qixi Festival, Wei Li arrived as promised, with the river lantern in his hand.

Neither of them expected that they would end up in prison for Qixi Festival.

Seeing Wei Li wearing a luxurious golden silk cloud brocade, holding a lotus lantern in his hand that was only worth a few taels of silver, staying in this cell with her, Chu Luan couldn't help but persuade him, "Why should the prince be so wronged by himself? Trapped myself in too. ”

They all thought that the emperor was just a symbolic punishment, and he would release her in two days, but they never thought that they would miss even Qixi Festival.

Wei Li didn't feel aggrieved, just handed the lotus lantern to Chu Luan and said, "According to folk customs, you should write down your wishes on paper, and then put it in the lamp, and then put the river lantern." ”

Chu Luan nodded, holding the papier-mâché lotus lamp and playing with it gently, "But I can't get out now, how to put the lamp." ”

"I have my own way." Wei Li promised her.

Chu Luan didn't bother to care about it, so he took out a blank piece of paper at random, waved a few strokes, and then quickly folded it up and put it in the lamp. He made a "please" gesture to Wei Li.

The latter took the lotus lantern and placed it in an iron basin filled with water in the house, allowing it to swim between the square inches.

Chu Luan felt that this King of Yongning looked very smart, but he didn't expect that there were times when he was stupid, the lotus lantern was trapped here, how could he let the bird god in the sky see it, and how could he seek a happy fate?

Wei Li was not in a hurry, his index finger was against his lips, and as soon as the whistle sounded, Chu Luan heard the movement outside the wall, although it was not real, but he could also hear the appearance of as few as five or six people.

Chu Luan is now looking forward to what kind of movement a stuffy gourd like Wei Li can make.

I saw that there was a figure sneaking outside the iron window at the highest point on the wall, and there was some noise, and when Chu Luan wanted to find out, the iron window suddenly fell off and was taken away.

Without the obstruction of the iron window, the moonlight successfully broke into the house and lay in the iron basin, so that the lotus lamp was also contaminated with the cold air of the moonlight and washed away.

Before Chu Luan could be surprised, another person was holding a cloth bag, blocking the moonlight. He loosened the mouth of the bag, and the fluorescent flutter was fascinating.

The room full of fireflies is like stars descending from the mortal world.

The movement outside the door disappeared, and the figure outside the window was nowhere to be seen, but in an instant, they returned the moonlight to Chu Luan.

She was surprised and delighted, and was speechless for a while, so she could only ask awkwardly: "This is your way?" ”

Unable to hear Chu Luan's tone, Wei Li thought that she was not satisfied with this surprise, so she had to say aggrieved and stubbornly, "I know it's still too sloppy, but I can't think of any other way, I will definitely ...... next year"

He didn't continue, because Chu Luan was looking at him, and from her eyes, he could see that she liked it very much.

He plucked the moon and stars and gave them all to one person.

"Wei Li." Chu Luan called his name again, but it was not urgent, but ecstatic.

They looked at each other, only each other.

Wei Li was still waiting for Chu Luan's next words, but he didn't want her to retreat slowly......

"Morning Glory, Bright River Han Girl." Chu Luan sang clearly, danced with long sleeves in his hands, and danced in the moonlight.

"Slender hands, zaza lanes. All day long, sobbing is like rain. "Hold your fingers as a butterfly, like a frightening wave.

"The river is clear and shallow, a little different." The song is beautiful and captivating.

"Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent."

Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent.
