Chapter 37 Chapter Thirty-Seven

An Qingxu called several times, An Lushan seemed to have just woken up, and said, "You're here? It's so late, what's the matter!" There was no joy and kindness in the words, and he seemed very impatient and rude. "My child wants to ask Father about something." An Qingxu's voice was not even half respectful, his tone was cold and hard. Hearing the rustling of the quilt, An Lushan sat up on the bed, allowing Shen Zhenzhu to see his face clearly.Although An Lushan used to come to Chang'an to pay homage to Xuanzong's noble concubine, since Yang Guozhong told Xuanzong that Anlushan would definitely rebel in the thirteenth year of Tianbao, Xuanzong tried many times and never dared to enter Chang'an again.Therefore, Shen Zhenzhu has never seen Anlu Mountain.

At this time, through the thin gauze curtain, An Lushan's face was green and black, his appearance was very vulgar and fierce, his stature was short and thick, and the most astonishing thing was his huge belly, which was as round as a turntable, dragging to the bed. He half-closed his eyes and said to An Qingxu: "What's the matter, tell me quickly!" Since the fall of Anlu Mountain, his eyesight has suddenly declined, and everything he sees has gradually become blurred. , Put to death the people who were close to the servants and the ministers, everyone was in danger, and they became more and more eccentric.

An Qingxu said: "I heard that Emperor Father has drawn up an imperial edict to appoint Qing'en as the crown prince?" Without any hesitation, An Lushan replied harshly, "So what!" An Qingxu took a step closer to the bed, the long sword at his waist was threatening: "Mother died because of you, Qingzong died because of you, you actually want to hand over this great country to that bitch's son?" Shen Zhenzhu listened Shocked, An Qingxu no longer referred to An Lushan as "Father Emperor", and his arrogance was obvious.There are eleven sons in Anlushan, but the eldest son Qingzong and Qingxu were born to his original wife Lu. The "Qingen" An Qingxu said is the third son, who is the current "Queen" of Anlushan Duan. He was granted the title of King Ping. He was still very young, and he was very much loved by Anlu Mountain.

Hearing the words, An Lushan was furious, his heart arose, and his mania broke out again. He yelled "Zhuzi is bold", picked up a horsewhip beside the bed, and beat An Qingxu hard with his hands.An Qingxu didn't dodge, just heard a "click", from the brow to his cheek, and to his right shoulder, there was a long whip mark, An Qingxu kept humming and didn't move. An Lushan thought that An Qingxu didn't dare to hide, the fire in his heart was a little vented, and it was so late that he was drowsy, so he threw the whip and panted, "I'm going to sleep, get out of here! "

Unexpectedly, An Qingxu would not listen to his orders, but instead took a step forward and said firmly, "I will never let you do this!" An Lushan also knew that the situation was wrong at this time, and said sharply: "What do you want? Do you still want to kill me and become emperor yourself?" "What's wrong? Li Shimin can still kill his brothers and sisters. Can't I, An Qingxu, follow suit? Since you are ruthless and ungrateful, don't blame me for being unfilial and disobedient!" An Qingxu's words were extremely cold, and Shen Zhenzhu's back was covered with cold sweat, as if the voice was made by a very human being, but by an evil spirit that jumped out of the ground.

An Lushan's momentum was still there, and he shouted: "You dare!" Before he got out of bed, he dragged his clumsy body and called out: "Come here, come here, take this rebellious son down and chop it up!" An Qingxu laughed loudly: "Just shout and see if anyone pays attention to you." Having finished speaking, Shen Zhenzhu heard the crisp sound of drawing the sword out of its sheath, before she had time to see it clearly, she heard An Lushan's short scream of "Ah", she took a closer look, she couldn't help feeling dizzy, and wanted to vomit again , and wanted to scream loudly, but the acupoints were sealed, but he couldn't scream no matter what. ——An Lushan had a sword in his abdomen without a blade, his face was twitching with severe pain, blood flowed out, soaking the bed curtain in an instant, An Qingxu bowed his body and pulled out the sword, An Lushan's white intestines, liver and viscera poured out out.

An Qingxu turned his head and seemed to be looking at the closet where Shen Zhenzhu was. Because of his bent body, the expression on his face was falling into Shen Zhenzhu's eyes. Ferocious, ferocious, violent!Shen Zhenzhu never knew that An Qingxu was so terrifying. The scene of the first meeting with him in the past years suddenly replayed in his mind - the little boy, his lips were tightly pressed, as if he was full of hatred, and he had an irresolvable hatred with heaven and earth. Now, this hatred is finally advancing, enough to destroy the world. He killed his own father.No matter how heinous his father was, how much he should be punished, he should not be the one to end everything.

How dare he, he did it! Shen Zhenzhu obviously couldn't move and lost consciousness all over her body, but at this moment, she felt that the blood in her whole body had been frozen and her body was trembling non-stop.She obviously couldn't move, how could she tremble and tremble?Is it the body trembling, or the uncontrollable rhythm of the heart? She can't think anymore, she doesn't even know how to watch and avoid what she sees.She just stared forward blankly, An Lushan was still convulsing and struggling on the bed, making sounds of huh, huh, but he was powerless and unable to breathe for a while.This mighty guard of the three guards was finally about to die at the hands of his own son.Blood and internal organs continued to flow out of his abdomen, which was dirty and bloody, and the stench had permeated the closet.

With a bang, An Qingxu approached and slammed open the wardrobe door. He knelt down, looked at Shen Zhenzhu in front of him, stretched out his index finger, clicked in two places, unlocked all her sealed acupuncture points, and said coldly: "You have seen that I dare to kill my own father. There is nothing I, An Qingxu, dare not do. I let you watch the whole process, just to make you understand this. Now, have you thought it through?" After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Zhenzhu, as if waiting for her response.However, he soon realized that something was wrong, Shen Zhenzhu had been released from the Ya point, at this moment he neither screamed in fear nor uttered a single note.He tossed the long sword casually, put his arms around Shen Zhenzhu's shoulders, shook it, and called out in a serious voice: "How about it, answer me!"

Shen Zhenzhu seemed to be stupid, she didn't have An Qingxu in her eyes, her eyes were still staring blankly at An Lushan who was dying and struggling on the bed.An Qingxu saw that her eyes were like this, and touched her hands again, which were icy cold, gasped, really panicked, and then shook her body vigorously: "Pearl, answer me quickly, don't scare me!" Shen Zhenzhu's body swayed back and forth a few times with his shaking, but there was still no response. An Qingxu took his pulse, deeply regretful.He intentionally let Shen Zhenzhu see the scene of him killing his father, in fact, he used this to threaten and frighten her, so that she would know that she would admit defeat and obey him sincerely.Unexpectedly, Shen Zhenzhu has been going through all kinds of accidents since she gave birth, and she has been imprisoned by him for too long, no one talks to her to calm her emotions, and her psychological endurance is at its limit. Fear, horror, heavy pressure, and finally collapse.

"Prince Jin!" At this moment, An Qingxu's personal guard hurriedly stepped into the inner hall. As soon as he entered the hall, he saw blood everywhere, and couldn't help taking two steps back slightly. Has been captured." For An Qingxu, the overall situation has been decided at this time. The guard looked at An Lushan who was still dying on the bed, and said, "Prince Jin, how...how to deal with this?" An Qingxu stood up, thought for a while, and said: "Call another capable confidant, and dig a hole under this bed, and bury his body here first." The meaning was very clear, the guard drew out his saber, pierced his throat, An Lushan thrashed a few times, and died immediately.A generation of heroes died here. Not long after, the guard called in another guard to bring a hoe and shovel.Not afraid of the smell, the two worked together to remove the big bed, revealing the floor tiles with curly grass and lotus patterns under the bed. This palace is the famous Xianju Palace of Shangyang Palace. It was built during Gaozong's time, and it was built here by Empress Tianwu more than 50 years ago.The construction of the temple was poor in manpower and material resources, and it was as luxurious and magnificent as possible, and it was also the most solid and delicate building.The two guards stepped forward with hoes, trying to dig up several tiles and then dig a big hole, which took a lot of trouble.However, this time is the perfect opportunity to show loyalty to An Qingxu, others can't ask for it even in their dreams, and this day's great benefits have fallen on their own heads, how can they not work harder?The two went to pry one of the bricks, one on the left and the other on the right. Fang put the hoe and shovel on the floor tiles, heard the loud bang, the pain on his face was unbearable, a strong force hit his face, both of them fell to the ground, saw the room full of stone chips flying to the ground, the smoke was thick, Surprised to see a huge hole in the floor tiles, several figures swept up like a ghost, directly attacking An Qingxu. Shen Zhenzhu seemed to be in a huge and blurred dream. When swords meet, the blood shines, the room is smelly, and suddenly there is a soft wind, someone takes her by the hand, and she suddenly follows her; then picks her up again, runs, kills, bleeds, shouts, Sometimes she wakes up, sometimes dreams, sometimes sleeps... She seemed to see her own soul swaying into the Chongyue Qionglou, everything was silent, and the joy of the fairy tale was about to leave.A soft female voice asked her, "Where are you from, and where are you going?" She murmured blankly, "Where are you from, and where are you going? I... I don't know either." The woman smiled faintly. "Then who are you?" She was even more at a loss, lost in thought: "Who am I?" The woman sighed vaguely: "It turns out that you are just another traveler, an idiot in the world of mortals." The voice went further and further away... Shen Zhenzhu felt the warmth and familiarity of her arms, someone lightly hugged her waist and whispered in her ears, she was confused, she only longed for the tender embrace and gentle breath, and she opened her eyes after a long time. Although the person in front of him was tall and lonely, his demeanor was superb, and when he saw her wake up, his expression was filled with ecstasy. Shen Zhenzhu looked at him, smiled lightly, her eyes were pure and innocent, and asked, "Who are you?" "Pearl!—" He was horrified by a knife, fell from the tip of joy, grabbed her hands, and his pupils suddenly dilated. Her eyes are as transparent and clear as clear water, and like clear water, there is nothing and no one. Shen Zhenzhu smiled lightly in amazement, raised her hand, and wiped the corners of his eyes with her slender fingers. The fragrance in the sleeves made him intoxicated, and she looked at his face carefully, "Hey, are you crying? Why are there tears in your eyes?" He couldn't bear it anymore, and hugged her tightly in his arms, his voice choked slightly: "Pearl, I'm Chu, you don't recognize me?" "Chu?" She raised her head weakly and ignorantly: "This name is very familiar. Let me think about it..." Leaning slowly in his arms, "But, I am very sleepy and want to sleep..." He was speechless, took her into his arms, and patted her on the back carefully and rhythmically, "Then go to sleep, remember to remember me when you wake up..." She closed her eyes and murmured to him: "Don't go, just like this, let me sleep next to you, it's very comfortable...don't go, don't go..." Tears finally welled up in his eyes, and he said in a low voice: "Okay, I won't leave, that's it, never leave..." She lowered her head, she closed her eyes, and fell asleep with a deep smile. He just hugged her like this, motionless, and the carriage drove slowly.The lines under her eyelashes are as delicate as jade carvings, soft and clear like water waves. If life is so quiet and comfortable, like a river flowing, it would be a beautiful thing. Feng Shengyi lightly tapped on the curtain of the carriage, and called: "Your Highness." He was afraid of waking the person in his arms, so he hummed in a low voice, and Feng Shengyi said: "Your Highness hasn't had any water for a day and a night, Ge Le Khan asked if you want to eat?" He didn't answer in silence, Feng Shengyi waited for a while, but when he didn't hear an answer, he rode away slowly. As it was getting dark, he hugged her tightly in the dark carriage, reluctant to leave. He learned the news from Cui Guangyuan and others who had returned to Lingwu, and rushed to Chang'an for ten days and ten nights. He searched for news in Chang'an but failed. Knowing that An Lushan and his son had gone to Luoyang, he went to Luoyang to inquire about Shen Zhenzhu's whereabouts. For several days in a row, no information was received.In the past, he learned from Xuanzong that there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the Shangyang Palace, so he decided to enter the palace through the secret passage with Mo Yanchuo and Feng Shengyi on an adventure late at night. Unexpectedly, by coincidence, it happened that An Qingxu was killing his father, and the exit of the secret path in Shangyang Palace was under the bed of Xianju Hall. The three of them heard An Qingxu, Shen Zhenzhu, and the guards speak clearly at the entrance of the secret passage. When the two guards were prying the bricks, Mo Yan Chuozao couldn't bear it, and took the lead in attacking the bricks and stones on the top of his head with his palm. rushed out.An Qingxu was caught off guard, and was attacked by Mo Yanchuo and Feng Shengyi from both sides. His left chest was hit by a palm, and he was severely wounded and stunned. Seeing Shen Zhenzhu being rescued by Li Chu, even though he urged his guards to chase him, he was unable to make it. At this time, Li Chu was intertwined with regret, guilt, fear and fear, recalling how Murong Lin lost his memory that day, and was deeply afraid that Shen Zhenzhu would follow in her footsteps.It has been a year since I bid farewell to her that day, and all the sufferings she has suffered in the past year are all because of him—if he had planned everything well, why would she have been stabbed with a sword; if he didn't believe the news of her death, come soon Xun, why did she suffer so much humiliation; if he received a report from Cui Guangyuan and immediately set off for Xijing, how could she be so frightened?Everything is wrong, every step is shocking. She moved her head in his arms, apparently looking for a more comfortable position to lean on.With a little force, he supported her head on his arm, saw her sleepy face, and gently straightened her temple hair, the pain pierced his heart, in the dark night, his face gradually haggard. After an unknown amount of time, Shen Zhenzhu's hand on his waist moved slightly, "Chu." She called faintly.Li Chu was overjoyed, she lowered her eyebrows and moved closer, her hand grasped the robe belt around his waist even more, she called his name as if in a dream, her eyebrows fluttered, she was still sleeping soundly on her side.This low call was so empty and far away that it lingered around Li Chu for a long time.He was more tender, he put his head close to her cheek, and the green stubble on his face softly caressed her face, addicted to it, unable to extricate himself. "Cu." He heard her calling him again, suspected that he had misheard, stood up and saw that she had opened her eyes, which were still shining brightly in the darkness, shining like jewels, which was very different from the confused and clear just now.As if he couldn't believe it, he stared at her and remained silent for a long time. She seemed to smile, raised her hand to touch his face, and sighed quietly: "Chu, is it really you?" He couldn't speak in tune: "It's...it's me, Pearl, you finally woke up...do you remember me?" But she shook her head, as if she was slightly laughing at herself: "I must be dreaming, I saw you in the dream...I always do this...Chu, don't go, stay a little longer, this dream...can be more For a while, everything will be fine..." He felt so sad that it was hard to tell others, took her hand, stroked it to his chest, and said deeply: "This is not a dream, look, my heart is beating, it is Li Chu who is back!" She followed him suspiciously and put her hand to his chest, only to touch his chest for warmth, but abruptly moved back, got rid of his embrace, and leaned against the wall of the car, like a frightened deer, far away from him, hastily Asked: "It's not a dream, it's really you?!" He went to grab her hand and nodded affirmatively: "Yes, it's me!" She opened her eyes wide and stared at him for a long while.He also breathed slowly, only looking at her deeply, but he didn't dare to disturb her a little bit. She suddenly burst into tears and threw herself at him, "Why did you come now, why did you come now!" Tears welled up in his eyes, and he hugged her tightly.
