Chapter 88
In the evening, Wei Li finally took Chu Luan to run through dozens of streets in the capital, even the most wild sweat and blood BMW couldn't hold on at this time, parked next to the willow tree by the moat, flicked his hind legs from time to time, let out two hisses, and announced his dissatisfaction. As for its owner, a heart was placed on Chu Luan, and after a while, he asked her if she was tired or cold? After a while, I asked if I was hungry or sleepy?
Chu Luan has also been crazy enough with him, the wood is already in the boat, and she no longer has to worry about what to do if she is discovered by others. Anyway, if you go back, Xuan Jun will definitely be furious. She thought of Wei Wei again, not that she was still in love, but that she and Wei Wei were far less crazy than today, but in the end, they ended up like that. She was worried that Hyun Jun might be bad for Wei Li. However, Wei Li is not Wei Wei, and she will not let Wei Wei's tragedy repeat.
Most of the haze in Wei Li's heart at this moment also dissipated, took Chu Luan's right hand, and said softly, "I know that you have your own troubles, Alchi will return to Yeli in a few days, and I am afraid that the border will be turbulent again, this time I plan to ask Your Majesty to personally go to quell the chaos, and when everything is settled, we will marry again, okay?" ”
"Okay." A faint word carries the joy of two people.
Wei Li remembered something again, "You will ...... in the future." Can you stop calling me Lord? Looks rusty. Since the two of them had a heart-to-heart connection last night, Wei Li immediately changed his name, and he was affectionate one by one, but Chu Luan did not change his words for a long time.
But what is Wei Li? This made Chu Luan difficult, if he learned to call a Jiangnan woman a lover and generally called him Brother Wei for life, he would not be able to break his mouth, and he would not be able to highlight her special by calling him Xiyun like Gu Yan and others. When she was embarrassed, she suddenly remembered that in Yanrongfang, when she was still Mu Xi, the other party had said that their relationship was the relationship between Wei Li and Chu Luan. She suddenly had an idea, and happily called "Wei Li".
Others call him either the King of Yongning or Xiyun, and no one has ever called him by his name in front of him.
"Wei Li." Chu Luan called again.
He also called her "Ah Luan".
"Wei Li!"
"Ah Luan."
……
Today, the two of them rode horses together on the street, and it had already been spread.
Xuan Jun learned about this and did not have a seizure at first. It was only in the evening that Chu Luan was still not seen returning home, and he did not come to ask for guilt, so he was furious. When he couldn't go to the county lord's mansion to arrest people in person, he first implicated his anger on Zhixia, and ordered people to beat twenty boards and punish him to kneel in the courtyard to set an example. Even if the jade slave couldn't bear it, he couldn't interject at this time. Afraid that the movement would be too loud and frightened Luo Yin, he told Daisy to take care of her in the room.
When Wei Li sent Chu Luan back to the house, he saw that the front yard of her house was bright, and Chu Luan immediately guessed what kind of scene was in the wall of this courtyard. So he stopped here and urged Wei Li to go back quickly, "Give me your cloak today, and warm my hands vigorously, or go back early, so as not to get cold." ”
Wei Li didn't think much about it, leaned closer, and whispered in a low voice, "You and I haven't married yet, so we're so considerate, I can't wait to marry you." ”
Chu Luan blushed in the middle of the night, thanks to the dark sky, which did not let the people in front of him see clearly. As everyone knows, when the two approached, her heartbeat had already betrayed her completely.
After returning home, Xuan Jun was sitting in the courtyard wearing a big hat, and the jade slave was waiting around. Zhixia knelt aside, and under the reflection of the torch in the hand of the subordinate, she could vaguely see the dark red blood stains on her back. What happened, it goes without saying.
"I'm back." Xuan Jun snorted coldly, and his tone revealed his extreme dissatisfaction at the moment.
After the last time the two had a quarrel, Xuan Jun sent someone from the mansion to spy on her, Chu Luan was already resentful, and her nose was not a nose at this time, her face was not a face, "This mansion is full of teachers' eyeliner, and nothing can be hidden from your eyes, so why do you want to visit late at night?" ”
Chu Luan's words were thorny, and Xuan Jun was not far behind, and his mouth was yin and yang, "I saw that you made such a big move today, I'm afraid you didn't want to hide it from me, right?" "The county lord of Zhaoyue and the king of Yongning behaved intimately and rode together, which was well known to everyone at this time. As soon as he thought of this, the anger in his heart deepened, and he sneered, "What? You learned the truth about Wei Wei's death back then, so you want to take revenge on me in this way? ”
If it was really just a simple revenge, Xuan Jun might just say a word of naivety, and then find a way to put an end to the interaction between the two to solve the matter. It's a pity that Chu Luan's affection for Wei Li is real, and his promise is also true.
She didn't intend to lie to him, "Only you will try to take advantage of others." In other words, she was really moved.
Xuan Jun was speechless for a long time, but his violently undulating chest and poisonous eyes conveyed his anger. The people in the courtyard did not dare to move. Only Yunu gently patted Xuan Jun on the back and persuaded him not to be angry. Xuan Jun has always been arbitrary and independent, if he can still listen to a word or two of advice, then he must be a jade slave. He held back the anger in his heart, sighed, and regretted that "do you know what you're doing!" ”
"Follow your heart."
Xuan Jun couldn't help but laugh, "Heart? It's just nonsense! He slapped the armrest of the wooden chair, emotional, as if the slap was about to fall on Chu Luan in the next second, "Do you know that if you do this, all our previous efforts may be wasted!" You are the one who wants to be the queen, and Murong Jin is your good match. You are traveling with Wei Li's horse today, what do you think about King Jin? How many people are staring at him? How many people are staring at us? Once our alliance collapses, Murong Xiu and the others will take advantage of the opportunity to enter. All plans will come to naught! ”
I don't know what Xuan Jun said about Chu Luan, but she doesn't want to force herself anymore, in her two lives, she has never lived for herself. "I will personally explain this matter to His Highness."
"No need." Xuan Jun refused, "I will explain to Murong Jin tomorrow, and I will ...... then."
Without waiting for him to finish, Chu Luan retorted, "I want to make it clear to him, not to explain to him!" ”
"Shut up!" Xuan Jun stood up suddenly, looking at Chu Luan's appearance of not entering the oil and salt, he was really fascinated by that Wei Li, and beat his chest for a while before he lowered his voice, "From tomorrow onwards...... From now on! You can't go anywhere without my command. I can't even go to see that Wei Li! ”
Chu Luan couldn't believe it, "You still want to trap me?" ”
Xuan Jun didn't talk nonsense with her, and threatened, "I advise you to stay in the mansion for a while for me to reflect, don't forget, your Gu poison still has to be suppressed by me." Then, he instructed Yunu and Ruyi to seal Chu Luan's acupoint to prevent her from using force. From then on, the two of them will take turns to take care of them. As for Zhixia, not only did she connive at Chu Luan, but she also didn't report it, fined her a month's monthly money, and she would not be allowed to interfere in any important matters in the future.
……
On the second day, when he went to the court, the emperor talked with his ministers about the autumn hunt and the relief of the victims, and originally planned to retire from the court without incident. I don't know if it was the one who hid in the crowd and brought up Wei Li's "great achievements" yesterday to amuse. Suddenly, the ministers all looked clear, and they all said that King Yongning was really in the prime of life, and he was dashing. Some people also praised Chu Xu, saying that he gave birth to a beautiful daughter, and some people have even begun to congratulate the two families on tying the knot.
It's a pity that Wei Li, who can not change his face even in the face of thousands of troops and horses on the battlefield, was actually troubled by a group of old guys, and he didn't know what to do.
Chu Xu looked at Chang Yibo, who was on his side, and he didn't know how to speak. After all, before Chu Luan came to the capital, everyone was speculating about the relationship between Wei Li and Ruan Qianyan, but after yesterday, all these rumors disappeared.
Of course, in addition to Chang Yibo, there were also Mo Han and King Chen with ugly faces in the court, and even Murong Xiu had a gloomy face.
Zhao Shangshu and Chu Xu have been friends for many years, and Chu Luan is also half of his niece, so he asked about Wei Li and Chu Luan's marriage, "When does King Yongning plan to marry the county lord back to the palace?" ”
Chu Liang has been by Chu Xu's side for many years, and he already knows the other party's temperament, and he can guess that he probably doesn't want Chu Luan to have anything to do with Wei Li, so he takes the initiative to block the front. "Zhao Shangshu, my little sister is still young, I'm afraid this matter is early."
Who knew that the other party was disrespectful to the old, waved his hand, and said bluntly: "Eh, Ah Liang, you kid is talking nonsense, my daughter is afraid that she will be two years younger than Ah Luan when she marries you." Now they're all about to become mothers. ”
Chu Liang blushed hurriedly and didn't dare to say anything more.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am afraid it is too early to talk about this at this time. If the town waits for an answer or not, it will be said otherwise. Prime Minister Gu quipped.
At this time, everyone reacted again, and they all advised Wei Li to please the future father-in-law more. Although Wei Li is the god of war, Chu Xu was also known as the victorious general when he was young, but I am afraid that it is really not easy for him to marry Chu Luan.
Above the court, there was a joy. No one held Wei Li accountable for riding on the street, and no one remembered the contradiction between Chu Xu's father and daughter.
But such a joyful atmosphere was still broken.
Murong Yu squinted his eyes slightly, and smiled sadly, "It turns out that the person Xiyun is pleased with is actually the county lord of Zhaoyue, I have been betting with Ah Jin before." I guess it's the lord of Nanzhu, and Ah Jin says it's Ruan's second girl. I never thought we were all wrong! ”
Everyone was immediately tongued out by the wild cat, they had also heard a little about Chu Luan and Murong Jin before, and the queen had arranged for Wei Li to meet with the lord of Nanzhu County and more than once openly and secretly encouraged him to marry Chen Chen. Now...... Alas, your circle is really messy.
Wei Li looked at Murong Jin, only to see that the other party was also staring at him uncertainly. I feel a little sorry in my heart, but emotional matters have been so inexplicable since ancient times.
King Chen's cruel gaze swept over Wei Li and Chu Xu, and snorted coldly.
"That's enough." Murong Chuyao broke the deadlock with a loud voice, "Just tease each other, this court is a place for you to laugh." If it spreads, won't it make people laugh at me, the talents of the pillars of the eternal kingdom are all like such many tongues, like women! ”
Everyone: "The minister is guilty." ”
After the next court, everyone retreated, but Wei Li was called to the imperial study.
In the imperial study, the emperor was reviewing the folds, and Zhaoqing was grinding on the side. Wei Li was waiting below.
"Didn't you say that you didn't mean that to Chu Luan before?" Murong Chuyao glanced at Wei Li while blowing the undried ink on the book, and quipped.
Wei Li then remembered that once the emperor asked him what he thought of Chu Luan. At that time, he didn't understand that he couldn't promise lightly just because the other party was good-looking. Who knows that going around and around, he is still destined to be planted in the hands of the other party. "Your Majesty......"
Murong Chuyao had also been frivolous and romantic at his age, and he advised him in a tone from a person who had come over, "You young people all like wind and snow, but there is one thing I have to remind you. Since you like people, you have to keep her in jail. His eyes gradually deepened, "If one day she is not under your control, I hope you will not be soft." ”
Wei Li's fists gradually tightened, and he asked nervously, "I don't know what Your Majesty means?" ”
Murong Chuyao glanced at Zhaoqing beside him, who went out to guard outside the imperial study. Only then did he put down the fold in his hand, "What do you think is the relationship between her and Ah Jin?" ”
"Best friends." Wei Li said without thinking.
"Best friends?" Murong Chuyao snorted coldly, got up and walked to the bookshelf, took out a secret letter from a thick book and handed it to Wei Li.
This letter records all the expenses and accounts of King Jin's Mansion in the past year. Since the accident in Loulan, most of the wealth of King Jin's mansion has been filled with the treasury. However, the least amount of expenses on this is tens of thousands of taels, and each time the account is entered, it is more than a dozen taels in taels. Even Murong Xiu, who was the strongest, failed to have such a rich family background.
Murong Chuyao observed the change in Wei Li's expression and sighed, "Xiyun, do you still think that they are really just close friends?" ”
"Weichen is stupid, please make it clear to Your Majesty."
Since Wei Li was pretending to be confused, Murong Chuyao didn't mind helping him pierce this layer of window paper. "Before I ordered Qi Ming to investigate Zhang Sheng's case, I told him to pay attention to the key of the Thirteen Divisions of Jiangnan. But that key seems to have evaporated from the world, and when you turn your head, King Jin's Mansion has such a rich family fortune! Where's the money, you say? ”
Wei Li didn't answer.
"When Zhang Sheng and his wife had an accident, Chu Luan was running around, trying his best to protect their offspring. If it were me, I would be relieved to hand over the key to her. ”
"Ah Luan...... Miss Chu doesn't have a key, and even if she does, she won't give it to anyone, and ask Your Majesty to know it. This is what Chu Luan said to him personally, and Wei Li believed her.
But Murong Chuyao wouldn't believe it, "If it weren't for the Thirteen Divisions of Jiangnan, I wouldn't have imagined that she, an orphan girl who had severed ties with her loved ones, would be able to take out so much money intermittently!" ”
"Your Majesty!" Wei Li also wanted to defend Chu Luan for a few words, but was interrupted by Murong Chuyao. He sat back on the dragon chair and pressed his temples, showing fatigue, "Do you know why I wanted to arrange for you and Chu Luan to be together from the beginning? ”
"I don't know."
Murong Chuyao chuckled, his eyes seemed to float over the teacup on the table, if he looked closer, he could find that there was a shallow scratch on the inner wall of the teacup. His gaze suddenly softened, "Back then, when I was just an unfavored prince, I was also like you, and I was only devoted to one person. I was always frivolous when I was young, and I agreed with that man to put down all the swords in the future, but for some reason, my father suddenly supported me to become the crown prince, and by the way, I also set up a crown princess. During that time, I felt a mixture of sorrow and joy. Xiyun, you don't stand in a high position, you don't know the lonely cold in the high place, and you don't know what power can turn a person into. ”
These words can be said to be a royal taboo, Wei Li was wary, "Your Majesty ......"
Murong Chuyao wanted to continue, "It's okay, some things always have to be said by someone. Soon after that, he was married, and I took care of them myself. ”
Wei was stunned, his face was still silent, and he listened quietly, like a pillar in the hall, and was a silent spectator.
"Once a person loses, he will have regrets."
Wei Li probably understood, "So Your Majesty wants to make up for that regret through Chu Luan?" His eyes gradually became dangerous, even if he pitied Murong Chuyao's experience, he sneered at his practice of forcibly ordering the mandarin duck spectrum. If he wasn't the king of Yongning, or if there was a more suitable candidate than him, wouldn't Chu Luan have to be forcibly married to someone else, and cause the next regret? So back and forth, I'm afraid there is no end for thousands of years.
"Xiyun, although Zhenbei Hou is in Beijing all the year round, his strength is still not to be underestimated. He broke off the relationship with Chu Luan on the surface, but the beloved son of his parents, he just wanted to protect Chu Luan in this way and prevent her from becoming a victim of the struggle for the throne. The more Murong Chuyao spoke, the more excited he became, "So I plan to match you and Chu Luan." ”
Yes. He is not a prince and cannot compete for the throne, so Chu Luan's marriage to him will not threaten Murong Chuyao's imperial power; Therefore, when everyone talked about Murong Jin and Chu Luan, Murong Chuyao always used various reasons to divert the topic. He suddenly felt that the person in front of him was very pitiful, and he gave up his sweetheart for power. If Murong Chuyao's sweetheart was Ruan Qing, he would feel that Murong Chuyao's behavior was shameful; If it was Chu Xu, he would feel that Murong Chuyao was pathetic, and he kept talking about love, but he doubted the other party all the time. No matter which one it is, it is Chu Luan who bears all the bitter fruits in the end. Her father and mother don't love each other, and she has to fall victim to the trade-off of interests. Wei Li was suddenly glad that she liked Chu Luan, otherwise she would have been in a lot of pain.
"Your Majesty, Weichen is courageous, there is one thing that Your Majesty asks."
