Chapter 16 Chapter 62 From now on, the lonely cloud cannot be expected

Although Li Ruo is sleepy, but this night she has something on her mind, tossing and turning, she never dared to fall asleep.Hearing that Shen Zhenzhu's breathing became even and steady beside her, she was already fast asleep, and there were guards everywhere in the palace, it was impossible for her to leave even if she wanted to, Fang slowly put down her heart and wanted to sleep peacefully, when she suddenly saw a figure swaying outside the curtain, she He had a bit of martial arts background, his eyes were sharp, and when he saw that the figure was not like a court lady, he immediately pulled back the curtain and shouted: "Who!"

"It's me, take a silent sip." The visitor took a step forward, only a stone's throw away from her. Li Ruo was startled, looking up, the moonlight outside the window was faint, and he could still roughly see the face of the person who came: tall and handsome, full of vigor, it was Mo Yanchu, the Huihe Khan who had saved his life.This time it was even more astonishing——shouldn't Mo Yanchuo be fighting the rebellion in Huihe Wangting, why did he arrive in Luoyang in the blink of an eye? At the same moment, Mo Yanchu also saw Li Yu's face clearly, and couldn't help but startled: "Aren't you Shen Zhenzhu?" He stretched out his arm and squeezed Li Yu's wrist fiercely, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle in the night, He shouted in a deep voice, "Where is Princess Guangping?"

Li Ruo's wrist was in severe pain, and she cried out in a low voice, "Yeah". "Let go of her!" Shen Zhenzhu yelled in a low voice behind her.At the same time, Li Ruo loosened her wrist, Mo Yanchuu let go, she took a deep breath and looked back, Shen Zhenzhu sat up on the bed at some time. "What did Khan do when he visited the inner palace late at night?" Shen Zhenzhu raised her eyes lightly, her tone was calm. Mo Yanchuu didn't answer immediately, he squinted his eyes slightly, as if he wanted to take a closer look at Shen Zhenzhu's appearance through the moonlight, after a long time, he finally spoke, his voice was low but steady and powerful: "I flew to Luoyang for more than two months, looking for The former Princess Guangping and the present Princess Chu only wanted to obtain a promise from her."

Shen Zhenzhu was startled, unable to remember for a while, she said in amazement: "What promise?" Mo Yan waved his hands like lightning, and pointed at Li Ruo: "Do you remember what you said back then when you begged me to save Princess He Ning from An Qingxu's hands?" In an instant, the past flashes like lightning. That year outside Chang'an City, in the carriage, she once said to him: "...as long as you rescue Princess Dening, you can ask me anything." He successfully rescued Li Ruo. By the bonfire, he was unwilling to mention this promise again, but she said stubbornly: "I will remember."

In fact, she had all but forgotten about the promise. However, today he brought up the old matter again, and she must also fulfill her promise. She smiled and asked, "Then how does the Khan want Pearl to fulfill his promise?" Mo Yan Chuan smiled and said: "Okay! I know that Shen Zhenzhu will keep his promise and will never break his promise. Listen carefully——I want you to leave the palace with me tonight, and leave the King of Chu!" Li Ruo was shocked, jumped off the bed, and yelled directly at Moyan: "You are delusional!" Then she turned and took Shen Zhenzhu's hand: "Sister-in-law, don't be threatened by him. He saved me at the beginning. It's not my fault." Pay him your life, you can't go with him!"

Mo Yanchuu didn't seem to see Li Luo, stared at Shen Zhenzhu, and continued: "I haven't finished my words yet: I only want you to leave the palace and King Chu with me tonight, and I didn't say that you must follow from now on." Me, as long as you leave the palace and the King of Chu, the sky and the sea will be vast, and you can go wherever you want, silently sipping, and will never stop meddling for half a step!" Taking a step forward, his eyes are as deep as the sea, and he said to Shen Zhenzhu: "You Promised me. I only hope that you can let go, and I only hope that what I do today is not something that can be difficult for others."

Shen Zhenzhu's heart was touched, and she looked at the person in front of her, fully understanding his deep affection at this moment.Although he had no choice but to let him down in this life, but this time his intentions may also be in line with hers. She lowered her eyebrows and thought for a moment, then finally raised her head and smiled: "Okay. You wait a moment, and I will go with you after I put on my robe." Mo Yan Chuan nodded happily, only feeling that he had no regrets in being able to communicate with her at this moment, so he stood with his back and waited. Li Ruo was in a panic, seeing Shen Zhenzhu getting out of bed and putting on her clothes without haste, she was about to leave.She was so anxious that she didn't dare to call out to the maids and guards. She resisted Shen Zhenzhu and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be confused for a while. Do you blame the emperor for not coming to see you for so long? Do you know that you are sick?" I'm sorry, after vomiting so much blood, how sad is the emperor? You know, the emperor has not left Luoyang for the past three months. He is afraid that you will be sad and angry after seeing him, which will hinder your recovery. I hide from you, and only look at you quietly every day after you are asleep. With such a good intention, no matter how many mistakes he has made, can't you forgive him?"

When she said this, Shen Zhenzhu was sitting in front of the dressing table and inserting the last hairpin into her hair. This hairpin seemed to be very sharp, her fingers hurt slightly, and she probably stabbed her fingertips slightly.She closed her eyes fiercely, opened them again, turned her head and smiled at Li Yu, and said, "I know what you said." While Li Yu was stunned, she took out a letter from under the pillow and handed it to Li Yu. Luo: "I've already written the letter I left with Chu, please give it to him." Stepping up to Mo Yanchu, he said: "Let's go, with your ability, you shouldn't disturb the guards?"

Mo Yan smirked: "That's natural." Li Yu twisted Shen Zhenzhu's sleeve, almost crying: "Sister-in-law, you can't go, I won't let you go!" Mo Yan sipped and said: "If the princess wants to do this again, don't blame Ben Khan for being rude." Shen Zhenzhu sighed, grabbed Li Ruo's hand that was pulling her sleeve, and said: "Guo Er, I really have to go, remember what I said to you today." Li Ruo sobbed silently, the hand pulling Shen Zhenzhu's sleeve finally loosened gradually, Shen Zhenzhu hugged Li Ruo's body compassionately, and said to Mo Yan, "Let's go."

"Bang!—" There was a loud bang at the door of the inner room, and someone kicked it open from the outside. At this time, the bleak wind howled, the candles in the room were suppressed lower and lower, and it was pitch black inside and out, only a black shadow could be seen standing at the door.Suddenly the flames flashed, and with the jumping yellow light, Li Chu's face was reflected, with ferocity in his iron blue eyes, as if a fire had been ignited in his eyes, burning to swallow everything, his anger and majesty had reached the limit Extreme. Li Ruo knew something was wrong, she had never seen her imperial brother like this, she called out while being stunned: "Emperor brother—" Seeing the door of the room behind Li Chu open, she hurriedly stepped forward to cover the room. door, turned around and said: "Brother Huang has something to say..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw Li Chutong take two steps forward, he couldn't see how to make a move, heard a crisp "pa", Shen Zhenzhu staggered, and was slapped to the ground by him. "Li Chu, you bastard! How dare you hit her!" Mo Yan yelled angrily, picked up Shen Zhenzhu, saw a stream of blood dripping from the corner of her mouth, this slap was really serious. "It doesn't matter," Shen Zhenzhu supported Mo Yan with a sip, stood up slowly, and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. Li Chu laughed back angrily: "Since she is my wife, I don't mind beating her. She is not a woman and elopes with others. Even if I want her to die, it is not too much!" The sound of "bang" was thrown in front of Shen Zhenzhu, and he sneered: "If you want to go with him, I would rather you die in front of me now! You can end it yourself." "That's not the case! Brother Huang, you misunderstood!" Li Ruo yelled, bending over to grab the sword. The silver light passed by, the cold light shook, and Shen Zhenzhu had already lifted the sword. Shen Zhenzhu's heart trembled slightly. She held up the tip of the sword with one hand, and held the blade upright in front of her, as if she was carefully examining the sharpness of the blade. Everything is God's will. At such a moment, he just arrived. Life is a feast, and she and him, with this beautiful river and mountain, and this Langlang community, once met at the right time. And God finally made such an arrangement, asking her to leave the stage in such a form. She has never believed in the destiny, but this time, she is willing to submit. She looked up. Time seemed to stand still suddenly. Li Ruo's anxiety was beyond words, and she was still holding the letter she left with Li Chu in her hand. Li Chu was furious, she had never seen him so angry, the anger of the emperor was nothing more than that.And under this mask of anger, is there a trace of pain and regret? Only Mo Yan Chuo is the calmest, with a wave of his hand, he can kill someone instantly; if he wants to stop her, he will die, it is equally easy. Shen Zhenzhu laughed, she let go of her hands, and there was another "bang", the sword had been thrown to the ground by her. Unexpectedly, the three present were taken aback at the same time. Shen Zhenzhu stretched out her hand casually, and pulled out the letter paper from Li Luo's hand, with both hands together, she tore the letter paper to pieces. Li Ruo came back to her senses: "Sister-in-law, believe me!——" A gust of wind passed by at the right time, and the debris was being blown away, scattered all over the room. Shen Zhenzhu has already spoken: "Your Highness, I am Mrs. Zhen Guo, I live with you at the first rank, and I cannot be assigned life and death by you." She can't die. For thousands of years, the only choice is death, but after all the trials and tribulations, she has no thought of life and death, so she can only choose to live at this time. She would rather make him hate than make him regret. Li Chu took a deep breath, a kind of pain rose slowly from the heart and liver.It deepened little by little, becoming more and more uncontrollable, rising to the brain, turning into anger that seemed to be boiling.He gritted his teeth, but could only squeeze out four words: "Very good, very good." "Hahaha," Mo Yan looked up to the sky and smiled, his face full of approval: "Okay, this is Shen Zhenzhu!" After finishing his sentence, he held Shen Zhenzhu's arm with his left hand and said loudly: "Let's go!" "Wait a minute!" Li Chu's expression was gloomy, and he untied the belt of his robe with his left hand and threw it aside: "If the Khan wants to take my people away, he must give me an explanation. Why don't you and I fight for a hundred or so rounds? Do you die?" Mo Yan paused, nodded and said: "Your Highness is right, we should solve the problem in the way of men!" Li Chu lifted the tiptoe, and the thrown sword returned to his hand: "The king will not welcome you." After speaking, he flicked the long sword suddenly, like lightning in the night sky, he raised Mo Yan's left chest. Shen Zhenzhu yelled "ah", she couldn't speak anymore, her heart was in a mess, and she was silently delaying her martial arts, how could Li Chu be an opponent? Mo Yan pushed her away with a sip of his palm, and pulled out the scimitar at his waist while stepping back.His eyes were like torches, and he pushed forward with a saber, just as he was intersecting with Li Chu's long sword. The light of the intersection of the sword and the sword stretched out rapidly, and the two figures flew across each other. More than ten moves had been made in the blink of an eye. Pearl splashing spring, sometimes like a strong wind. Shen Zhenzhu shouted in a short voice: "Sip silently!" At this moment, Mo Yan Chuan was casually dispelling Li Chu's attack with a sword. Hearing that the sword was slightly suffocated, he smiled without looking back: "Don't worry!" Shen Zhenzhu heard the deep meaning in his words and knew that he would not hurt Li Chu, so she felt relieved. Hearing the question and answer between the two of them, Li Chu became even more furious, and his sword moves became more fierce and murderous. The fighting in the inner room has alarmed the palace people and guards outside.Perhaps it had been explained earlier, no one dared to rush into the room without authorization, the footsteps outside were chaotic, and there was a lot of noise, finally I heard Yan Ming shouting outside: "Your Highness, what happened?" Li Chu's face turned cold, his moves were steady, and he said in a stern voice: "No one is allowed to come in without my order!" A little distracted from speaking, he silently sipped his scimitar and stabbed at him, barely slashing a line on his arm. scars. Li Ruo screamed anxiously: "Stop beating, stop beating!" Mo Yan sipped and laughed loudly: "It is true that there is no need to fight any more!" Swinging the saber, Li Chu retreated steadily; . "The emperor is here!—" The door of the room was wide open, and the palace lanterns flickered like daylight. Suzong and Concubine Zhang Shu stood side by side at the door of the room in plain clothes. Li Chu and Mo Yanchu lowered their weapons almost at the same time. Su Zong was obviously exhausted, and pointed at Li Chu: "You, you, what are you doing!" Li Chu put the sword back into its sheath, bowed with a smile on his face, and replied loudly: "My son is competing with Ge Le Khan in martial arts, and alarming the emperor, the crime is unforgivable." Concubine Zhang Shu giggled: "Chu'er is really funny. You actually competed with Khan in Pearl's inner room in the middle of the night?" Turning to look at Shen Zhenzhu, she said with a smile to Su Zong: "The concubine said the rumors with His Majesty the day before yesterday. , my concubine and His Majesty both laughed it off, thinking it was a rumor, but today, I saw that there may be no reason for it. Gele Khan, you came to Chu Princess' room in the middle of the night, no wonder the Chu King wanted to 'compete' with you in martial arts!" Suzong's expression sank: "Pearl, I have always placed high hopes on you. I never thought that you would do such a thing that insulted the royal face! There are thousands of people inside and outside the Luoyang Palace. You want my Li family to save face, you How are you going to stand in the world?" Li Chu's face became more and more gloomy, he felt his scalp tingle, he looked at Shen Zhenzhu unconsciously, saw her face was as cold as ice and snow, standing motionless in front of the emperor, with thousands of thoughts circling back and forth, he couldn't control it for a while. "Father wrongly blamed sister-in-law!" Li Yu suddenly knelt and kowtowed. Suzong frowned: "What's the matter with you, go back to your bedroom and sleep quickly." "No, this matter has a lot to do with my minister!" Li Ruo kowtowed again, and said firmly with her head held high. Su Zong was very surprised, Concubine Shu smiled and said: "Your unmarried daughter, why do you care about this matter, listen to your father's words, and quickly avoid it." Li Ruo said: "My son is guilty of capital punishment. Gele Khan broke into the Forbidden Palace at night, and it is true that he secretly communicated with others... and the person who had a private meeting with him was not my sister-in-law, but me!" Shen Zhenzhu felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave, bent her body and grabbed Li Ruo's hand: "Huo Er, don't—" Li Ruo shook off Shen Zhenzhu's hand vigorously, and said the rest in a hurry and quickly: "Sister-in-law has no need to cover up for me. Since Khan rescued me from An Qingxu back then, I have secretly fallen in love with Khan, and I am determined to dedicate myself to Khan." I agree. Today, I stayed overnight in my sister-in-law's room. Khan came here after looking for me. My sister-in-law is innocent. This matter is up to my father." Looking back, he said to Mo Yan: "Since today is here, Even I dare to admit it, you don’t need to avoid it.” Mo Yan Chuu raised his eyes to the sky and closed his eyes, then he straightened his robe and half knelt in front of Suzong: "Your Majesty, Mo Yan Chuu Su looks up to the majesty of the heavenly court, and today I propose to marry Princess He Ning to return to Kehe Dun for me, and I hope Your Majesty will make it happen!" Su Zong was slightly startled, but he hesitated for a moment, and his face showed joy. He said with a smile: "So that's the case, but I have wronged Princess Chu. Good thing, good thing..." Turning his head to Concubine Zhang Shu: "What do you think about my concubine?" Concubine Zhang Shu Quickly smiled and replied: "Yiguo IKEA, my concubine congratulates Your Majesty." Suzong stretched out his sleeves, and his servant took a note by his side: "Prepare the decree, Princess Hening will be named Princess Ningguo, and marry Huihe Khan." Li Ruo bowed down to thank you.Shen Zhenzhu helped her up, Li Yu forced her to laugh and said: "Sister-in-law, I never thought that the oath I made to lie to you back then would come true today. It can be seen that deceiving people is really not a good thing, I owe God a debt, and I have to pay it back after all. .” Su Zong was very happy, and said loudly: "It's enough tonight, I'm tired, let's go away. Chu'er, I wrongly blamed Pearl today, you need to comfort her for me." Li Chu has no expression on his face, so it should be. "I have something to ask Your Majesty for permission!" Shen Zhenzhu suddenly stepped forward and knelt down. Su Zong stopped and said with a smile: "I owe you a favor, after all, if it doesn't matter, I will agree." Shen Zhenzhu kowtowed slowly, and the smile on Su Zong's face faded a little, only then did he notice that Shen Zhenzhu called himself "Chen" instead of "Sir Chen" just now, there is a huge difference in one word. "Your Majesty, please leave with His Royal Highness the King of Chu, and ask for His Majesty's permission!" At this moment, the world seemed to be silent. There are fourteen characters, one word and one sound, and they are clear, serious and resolute. Everyone inside and outside can hear only their own heartbeat. As for Li Chu, he couldn't even hear his own heartbeat. Su Zong restrained his smile, and he slowly turned his head, looking at the distance outside the hall.Dominating the heights, the emperor at this moment, what is he thinking?Do you recall that period of youthful feelings, or the married wife who was far away in the rivers and lakes outside the palace wall? "Chu'er," there was weakness and sorrow in his voice, "I didn't expect you and my father and son to have the same fate." Waving his sleeves, he said, "Sure!" Without waiting for Shen Zhenzhu to kowtow to thank him, Emperor Suzong ordered without turning his head: "Khan, come with me!" Shen Zhenzhu raised her head and smiled at him, relieved in her heart, and quickly walked behind Suzong. For a moment, only Li Chu and Shen Zhenzhu were left in the room.The two maids in the palace entered the room, saw Shen Zhenzhu was still on her knees, and hurriedly supported her from left to right, without thinking of changing her words, they asked in a low voice: "Is the princess all right?" "Bah!" Li Chu slammed his palm against the table and shouted angrily, "What kind of concubine are you still calling, she is no longer Concubine Chu!" The palace maid was so frightened that she trembled all over, and she answered again and again. Li Chu sneered, his eyes were like sharp knives, he pointed at Shen Zhenzhu and said: "Since you are no longer a member of the imperial family, how can you be qualified to stay in the palace?" He called out loudly: "Come here!" Yan Ming immediately brought several The guard obeys. Li Chu said: "Drive this woman out of the palace!" Yan Ming was shocked, and he promised, but he stood still, looking left and right, not only watching Li Chu's expression, but also Shen Zhenzhu's expression. Shen Zhenzhu smiled, and said to Yan Ming: "What Your Highness said is reasonable, I should have left the palace on my own, and I dare not trouble Your Highness and the general." His eyes slowly shifted to Li Chu. Her eyes were like autumn water, neither happy nor angry, nor sad nor worried. Curved body blessing: "Your Highness, take care." Spring thunder rolls outside. Shen Zhenzhu walked towards the outside step by step, very slowly. She didn't dare to walk too fast, for she was afraid that she might accidentally lose her pace and fall to the ground. She dared not look back. Her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't let him see them. He is so clever, just a single tear is enough to arouse his suspicion, enough for him to see through her. However, how much she wanted to look back at him, even if it was just one... everything is over. If she is not the woman who can fulfill him after all, why should she give way? If she is always his shackles, why doesn't she cut the rope with her own hands? In this life, I have never regretted it. In this life, you have given me so much. And all I can give you is to cut off my love from now on. (End of the third volume)
