Chapter Eighty-Two, Quarrels
Chu Luan lay on the dirty, cold ground, full of thoughts.
The truth of the year is about to come out, isn't this exactly what she has always hoped for? Not only for revenge, but also to show the world his innocence. However, now that things have developed, she would rather never know the truth.
She didn't have the courage to confront Chu Xu, and she couldn't blame Xuan Jun for anything, she suddenly wanted to know how she handled it in her previous life.
I don't know how long it took, Chu Luan finally moved slowly, her legs hadn't walked for too long, and she couldn't stand up at this time.
She had to slowly move to the wall, and her hands clawed at the cracks in the wall, and then she stood up in front of her.
She just leaned against the wall, walking little by little, unwilling to stop.
On the other side, Wei Wei led people to find a place where Mr. Chang was temporarily sheltered.
Only approached at the beginning, and was entangled by those traps, but fortunately, Wei Wei reminded him, and everyone quickly asked, and when they hit the door, they found that the building had already been empty, and only a few remnants of the defeated soldiers were still guarding the cave.
Everyone thought that Mr. Chang had taken Chu Luan hostage and fled, but Wei Li insisted on going in to have a look, and his intuition told him that Miss Chu was nearby. And he was always up and down in his heart, as if if he missed it, Miss Chu would leave him.
So, He Ying and Wei Li took some people to guard outside the cave, while Murong Jin and Yunu went in to find someone.
……
Chu Luan kept walking along the cold and damp mountain wall, and finally walked out of this twisting and turning place, but there was a person standing in front of her blocking her way.
The man seemed to have been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Chu Luan coming, he handed over a sharp sword.
Chu Luan didn't know what she meant, but there was some faint speculation in her heart, she took the sword with a little hesitation, and the man suddenly spoke, saying a non-standard official language: "I am willing to swear to follow the prince to the death!"
After speaking, he collided with the sharp blade in Chu Luan's hand, and the sword was fatal.
Chu Luan drew his sword, and the man had no support and fell to the ground.
Looking at the person who swore allegiance to the death, Chu Luan laughed silently.
This is the faithful servant! She is just a chess piece in Murong Jin's hands, they are no different, but each has its own master. If something happens in the future, I don't know that she will not end up like this one, and she will end up "serving the Lord".
Chu Luan couldn't stand anymore, she slowly slid down the mountain wall and sat on the ground. The free hand stroked the blood on the sword, feeling the sticky blood clinging to his fingertips, pressing it against the left side of his face and wiping it down his cheek. Stain yourself with blood.
When Murong Jin found her, he saw such a scene, Chu Luan leaned against the mountain wall and fainted, holding a sharp sword tightly in his hand, and not far away lay a corpse that was still warm.
……
When Chu Luan woke up, it was already two days later. In the past two days, many people have come to her house with things to condole, but most of these people are holding the intention of watching a play. But it is inevitable that there are people who really care about her.
Mrs. Lin would bring things to see her every day, but before Chu Luan was unconscious, she just said a few words to Yu Nu and left, and now that Chu Luan has just woken up, she can't be disturbed, and she doesn't stay longer.
When Yu Nu delivered medicine to Chu Luan, he also teased her, "This Mrs. Lin really likes you, even if you are not her daughter-in-law, you are so diligent." ”
Chu Luan smiled, noncommittal.
Yunu didn't talk to her, thinking that she was in poor spirits, and didn't pay much attention to it, just urged her to take medicine quickly.
Chu Luan still didn't move, and the jade slave thought she was too hot, so she personally blew the medicine cold for her, and was afraid that she would be bored halfway, so she looked for a few words, "This time it's really thanks to His Royal Highness King Jin, if it weren't for him, we really couldn't find you." ”
Murong Jin?
Although Chu Luan didn't say it on his face, he still understood in his heart that Wei Changlin was recommended to Murong Jin by her, it was impossible for him not to know Wei Changlin's details, and it took so long to bring it up, I was afraid that he really did something bad, so Murong Jin wanted to teach her a lesson.
In fact, Murong Jin did think so, as early as the third day, when Wei Li suggested that someone might be unfavorable to Chu Luan, he thought of Mr. Chang, but the fact that he bumped into Wei Li and Chu Luan before really made him angry, so he wanted to punish him a little.
This is the companion of the king like the companion of the tiger. Chu Luan thought coldly, Murong Jin was destined to be the emperor, how could he be as generous and innocent as he was back then. But she didn't blame him, after all, she no longer expected anything from others.
"Okay, don't think too much about it, let's drink the medicine first." Seeing that Chu Luan didn't answer for a long time, Yunu thought that she was still thinking about being kidnapped, and was afraid that she would get into the horns, so she hurriedly diverted the topic.
As everyone knows, her approach is even more on the knife edge.
As soon as she saw the decoction and the eager expression of the jade slave, Chu Luan unconsciously thought of the Gu poison in her body. After so many years, the decoction has never been cut off, and the funny thing is that she doesn't even know what she is drinking. I realized that if I thought about it too much, I might lose my temper and let people see the flaws. Chu Luan subconsciously turned his face away, and said in a muffled voice, "You let it go first, I'll drink it later." ”
Yu Nu ran out patiently, and his tone was inevitably a little anxious, "Look at you, how weak you have become, and you still refuse to drink medicine, do you really want to die?" ”
I don't know which sentence stimulated me, Chu Luan couldn't bear it anymore, and really argued with her, "I should have died a long time ago, didn't I?" Her voice was still a little hoarse, and she didn't say a word like a saw, but even so, she was still aggressive, and refused to let herself lose her momentum.
But why bother sisters about winning or losing.
Yunu didn't expect Chu Luan to talk to him like this, half surprised, half angry, and carefully put the decoction that had been boiling for a long time on the table in the room, and then walked back to the bedside and Chu Luan to theorize, "What's wrong with you?" Since Xiuniang went to the Guogong Mansion that day, you are like a different person, no longer close to us, and today you actually said such angry words. The jade slave was speechless for a long time, "What's wrong with you?" After speaking, I felt wronged again, and I wanted to cry.
But this time, Chu Luan seemed to be iron-hearted, and she was happy when she had to say those hurtful words, "Since you have to ask me, then I won't hide it anymore." Chu Luan sat up straight, straightened her expression, and the next words exhausted her courage, her lips trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of resentment, "Do you remember Wei ......?"
She suddenly couldn't go on, she couldn't bear it, she couldn't bear to take those old things to question the jade slave. But she couldn't let it go, and in the end she could only stalemate and struggle herself.
However, sometimes it doesn't take any words to hurt someone.
As the senior sister who knows Chu Luan best, Yu Nuyan doesn't know what she wants to say, and she has long suspected that Chu Luan already knows something, and she will know sooner or later. I just didn't expect that when this day really came, it would be such an embarrassing situation for each other.
Unlike Chu Luan's forbearance, Yunu likes to strike first, "Why don't you say it?" Don't you just want to know how Wei Wei died? ”
Chu Luan: ......
Yunu laughed at herself, and sure enough.
"That's right, I was going to finish him off with my own hands."
Hearing the other party admit it in person is more shocking than hearing it from the mouths of others.
"Even without the teacher's instructions, I would have killed him." Yunu's tone was so relaxed, as if Wei Wei's death was as indifferent to her as seeing the sun rise and the moon set.
Even though he already knew the answer, Chu Luan still wanted to ask why. ”
"The flattering lord is a taboo for the guards, not to mention, you are not an ordinary boudoir woman. You are destined to ascend to the throne, and if you don't kill him, you will ......"
"Enough!" Chu Luan couldn't listen to it anymore, she was saddened by the way the jade slave treated human life like a mustard, and even more marveled that she had never really understood the other party. "It's my heart that moved first, it's me who did the wrong thing, it's me who forced him to like me, and it's me who you should kill! Why don't you kill me?!" She roared hoarsely, finally leaving behind the etiquette and manners that had long been ingrained.
In the face of Chu Luan's questioning, Yunu no longer concealed it, and vented all the pain that had been hidden in his heart for many years, "Don't make trouble!" You obviously know that the teacher spoils you the most, and it is impossible for him to kill you, why do you deliberately show off in front of me! ”
Flaunt?
Chu Luan had long known Yu Nu's affection for Xuan Jun, but he didn't expect that it had become an obsession in the other party's heart for so many years.
"Original...... You've been showing it off. It's ridiculous! You use me as a pawn for revenge, and you use me as a knife for you to climb up! But he keeps saying that it is good for me, and he is extremely hypocritical! ”
"I've always regarded you as a lifelong confidant, and I've treated you better than anyone else, but what about you, what did you do to me? You deceive me, you hide from me, you hate me, you betray me. For so many years, it was me who was blind and misjudged you. Chu Luan's eyes were already red, and she couldn't care about the person in front of her as her closest senior sister, and only thought about how to make the other party suffer.
Yu Nu was not far behind, "Chu Luan, you don't care much about the truth of the year at all, you just want to push Wei Wei's death on us, you just want to alleviate your guilt." Even if we forced Wei Wei to death, the culprit of all this is still you Chu Luan! You're the murderer! ”
"You are noble, you are affectionate, you are arguing with me here for a dead man, and you have pushed everything on my head, but only I know how cold you are in your heart!"
They brutally hurt each other, and in exchange for double the pain.
Anyone who knew Chu Luan couldn't escape the sentence "cold by nature", she didn't expect that Yu Nu would also see herself like this. It's a big joke, she suddenly wanted to laugh, but every time she touched the corner of her mouth, it seemed to involve a scar on her heart, and she couldn't help laughing at herself, "This is what you really mean, have you always thought so?" ”
Yunu didn't dare to look at her squarely, so he hurriedly turned his face away, but he didn't want to be defeated, so he had to harden his heart and say the words that he regretted all his life, "That's right!"
In the end, they finally came to this point.
Chu Luan almost brutally drove the jade slave out, and as for the jade slave, she had no nostalgia, and she left the county lord's mansion without looking back.
When the two met again, it was the queen's birthday banquet.
All of them sat in groups, either with relatives or friends. There is only Chu Luan, a lonely person.
She was dressed decently, dressed in a blue palace robe, wearing a crown of beads, after two months of recuperation, her body seemed to be very good, and her face was ruddy, but the cold and glamorous atmosphere still made people dare not approach.
On weekdays, she usually sat next to Xuan Jun and Yu Nu, but today she looked at the people on the table in the imperial garden, and suddenly couldn't find her seat. It seems that it is not appropriate to sit anywhere, as if everything is wrong.
Yu Nu had already noticed Chu Luan, but because of her face and the fact that the two of them had made such a big quarrel before, she really didn't know how to face her.
The queen and the emperor were also seated, and Shen Yue saw Chu Luan alone, urging her to take a seat quickly with a smile on her face.
It is no secret that Chu Luan and the National Teacher's Mansion have a quarrel, and there are many people waiting to see the joke at this moment, and they are very curious about where Chu Luan will sit.
Now there are two seats left on the table, one is on Xuanjun's side, and the other is next to Quercus terrestris.
Chu Luan finally chose the latter.
She can't forgive Xuanjun and Yunu for what they did now, and she can't let go of her arrogant posture.
Ah Liquis was naturally happy to see Chu Luan sitting with her, but after seeing Chu Luan's face, she didn't dare to talk to her.
Qin Yuan saw that something was wrong between Chu Luan and them, but he didn't have the time to pay attention to it. Her situation is not much better. Ye Cheng sat opposite her, and the two of them looked up and didn't look down, which was really embarrassing.
In addition to them, there is another person who is not happy on the field, and that is Wei Li. He didn't understand why the queen had already made it clear last time, why the queen still arranged for him to sit with the lord of Nanzhu.
For such a birthday banquet, few people are truly happy.
In the end, the emperor spoke out to break the deadlock, "Today is the queen's birthday, you don't have to be restrained, you can do it at will." ”
Said casually, but a few people present were not trembling.
If there is, it should be Murong Xiu. He happily asked his subordinates to offer congratulatory gifts, "Today's birthday of the queen mother, the child specially beat a white fox to make a cloak for the queen mother, wishing the queen mother every year to have today, and the year to have today." ”
The courtiers and the young lady of the official family who were present closed their eyes and boasted for a while, "King Xiu has a heart", "King Xiu is really young and promising" and so on.
Most of the gifts offered by those people next were what they were used to on weekdays, and there was nothing special.
Chu Luan was bored when she heard Murong Xiu suddenly call her name, "It's good to say that these courtesies are good, but they don't mean anything." Princess Zhaoyue is a wonderful person, I wonder what gifts you have prepared for the queen? ”
