Pluto's Golden Apple

After Li Yan returned to the palace, he tried to visit Huanrou with Yuan'er in his arms, but was stopped by Cui'er.

"See Your Majesty." Tweety saluted.

"Well, Pingshen, how is your empress?"

"Your Majesty is sad because you want to part with His Royal Highness Ninth Princess. Your Majesty has already gone to bed at the moment, and I hope that Your Majesty will come to visit you later."

Li Yan frowned, his tone was different from the usual Tweety'er, and he couldn't help feeling displeased: "I'm going in now." After speaking, just as she was about to go in, Tweety'er knelt down with a plop.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is weak after giving birth to the little princess, and cannot sleep peacefully every night. I hope Your Majesty will be considerate and considerate to your Majesty."

Li Yan stopped the steps he was about to take.Looking back at Cui'er carefully, she thought that what she said seemed to have some truth, so she waved her sleeves and said: "Then let Ai Concubine rest well, and I will come back later."

Tweety sighed, today, I'm afraid I'm going to die here.As long as the emperor can come later, he will find that the empress is gone later.At that time, if you look for it again, the empress should have already left the city.

Cui'er thought that she would die here today, but her heart was surprisingly peaceful.She was already tired of such a worrying life.It's just that the little princess is pitiful, she was born quite cute, a bit like a queen.It's a pity that I was born without a mother.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Li Yan still couldn't bear his concern, and walked to Concubine Xian's bedroom.

Yuan'er in her arms seemed to have slept well, and she smiled very happily at Li Yan, which made Li Yan feel good.

"Tweety, is your mother awake?"

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has not made a sound, maybe she is awake." Till now, Tweety was a little uneasy, she was thinking about the most vicious and cruel punishment the emperor would use to punish her, thinking of this, she took a deep breath.

Li Yan went straight in, but there was no other woman on the bed?Some are just a set of palace clothes that Concubine Xian usually wears.

"What's going on? Where's your lady?" Li Yan obviously didn't realize the seriousness of this matter.

Tweety still pretended to be puzzled: "Your Majesty hasn't left the palace since she came back from outside the palace."

Li Yan frowned: "Ye An, what's going on? Can a living person disappear under my nose? Let me find her."

Ye An ordered someone to look for the empress immediately.

It was already dark in the evening when Ye An came to report that he was covered in sweat in such a cold day: "Forgive me, Your Majesty, but there is no trace of your mother."

Li Yan didn't get angry, but after thinking about Concubine Xian's demeanor today, he could roughly guess that she must have left the palace at this moment.Li Yan's face became more and more ugly, and he clenched his fists tightly, and asked in a low voice: "Tui'er, don't pretend. I have already seen that Concubine Xian's thoughts are not in the palace. Today I will If you come to see her, you stop her, she must have not left Huangxie City at that time." Li Yan let out a cold laugh as he spoke, which made everyone present shudder.

"Your Majesty," Cui'er hurriedly knelt down, but she didn't have the usual panic on her face: "I don't know, I really don't know, after the empress came back, she told the servants not to let people in, saying that she was too tired to sleep. The rest, the slaves don’t know anything about it.”

Li Yan sneered: "The gate of my palace is heavily guarded. Let alone a weak woman, even a general who has experienced many battles, she can't escape quietly. The guards at the gate of the palace today didn't even look at her. Seeing the figure of the empress leaving the palace, do you still dare to say that it wasn't your fault?"

Tweety still wanted to speak, but Li Yan waved her hand to stop her.

"Keep looking for me. If you don't find it, Tweety, don't want to live today."

For a while, everyone in the palace was panicked.The concubines in the harem carefully inspected their own palace, for fear that they would be hidden by the noble concubine Xian.Even the residences of the maids were searched by a group of guards.

An hour later, the captains of the guards came to report one after another: "Your Majesty, it is true that the empress has not been found."

Li Yan slapped the chair under him abruptly, stood up and shouted angrily: "What a noble concubine! I treat you well, yet you betray me like this." Li Yan felt extremely embarrassed at that moment, he had been in office for so many years Emperor, I have never encountered such a thing.

"Come here, take Cui'er down and execute him immediately." Li Yan said viciously.

Ling Chi executed... Tweety sighed, this is indeed cruel enough.

"I want to let her see what the end is for betraying me? Isn't it good to pretend to be kind and kind to servants? Then let her best servant die without a whole body!" Li Yan was already angry When it reached the extreme, the people kneeling underneath were trembling with fright.

Just as the guards were about to drag Tweet down, Li Yuan suddenly burst into tears.Just now Li Yuan was fed by the nanny, and she laughed happily, but at this moment, she burst into tears.Seeing his daughter crying, Li Yan felt very uncomfortable, so he quickly waved to the guards to drag Tweet away.

Cui'er didn't cry or yell, and didn't yell or get annoyed, she just followed the guards away quietly.This made Li Yan even more angry. Sure enough, the master and servant had already discussed it.I'm afraid, today she said she was unwell and wanted to go back to the palace, but she didn't go back at all.Instead, he sneaked away on the way into the palace.But after asking the guards guarding the palace gate, they said that they had indeed seen Cui'er and the empress go in together. It seems that she had planned for a long time this time, and she even had an accomplice.

Li Yan was so angry that he violently overturned everything on the table.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind outside, and there was rumbling thunder in the sky. The rolling thunder made many people in the palace tremble.

"What's going on here? It's still a fine day today, why is there such a loud thunder?" Li Yan was still puzzled, and Li Yuan echoed the thunder, crying even louder, crying to the point of embarrassment They all turned red.

Li Yan frowned, Ye An knelt down.

"Your Majesty, I wonder if Your Majesty can listen to this old servant?"

"Let's talk." Li Yan was bored in his heart, but he didn't really care to listen to what he had to say.

"Today's weather is so changeable, I'm afraid it's not a good omen. The little princess is crying like this again, I'm afraid it's not a good omen. As the saying goes, God has the virtue of good life. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, so you must be blessed by God."

Li Yan frowned and said, "Ye An, when did you hesitate?"

"Your Majesty, this old slave just wants to have the courage to plead for Tweety'er. She is just a servant. Maybe she really doesn't know about the plan of the empress this time, and the guards said that they did see her entering the palace with the empress. There is nothing wrong with her." Suspicious people have waited out. The little princess is young, and the imperial concubine can look for it slowly. I believe that she will not be cruel to leave the little princess alone for too long. Maybe there will be a day when the empress will understand. Tweety always treats the imperial concubine. Loyal and loyal, according to this old slave, it is better to let Tweety take the little princess and pay off the crime." It turns out that Ye An and Tweety are from the same village, so seeing Tweety's desolation, he couldn't help but want to plead for her. plead.

Li Yan snorted coldly, apparently still not recovering from his anger.Suddenly, Li Yuan stopped crying and started laughing again.Li Yan looked at Li Yuan's face, and suddenly murmured: "Could it be that Yuan'er doesn't want the emperor to kill people? Forget it, let it go, let Tweety go, let her bring the little princess, and make amends." Well, Li Yan also didn't want the child to kill before he was [-] days old.

After hearing this, Ye An hurriedly sent someone to bring Tweety back.Tweety was already prepared to beg for death, but she didn't expect to be pardoned before the execution. She couldn't help but think that it was the empress who blessed and protected her secretly, and felt even more grateful.

"Okay, the gods will accept their power, that girl is fine." Heiji said to the gods behind him.

Looking at the backs of the gods going away, Heiji sighed in his heart, when did Pluto become so benevolent?It really doesn't match the previous majesty at all.

"Jue Leng, where are we going?" Li Qianyue was very curious, where they were planning to settle down, and hoped it would not be too far away from Cangzhou, otherwise it would be inconvenient for her to go to the princess.

"I don't know, is there any place Huanrou wants to go? In fact, you can go anywhere, as long as you can be together."

Three fine horses galloped along the path.Before they left, Li Yao gave them three horses and some money, and secretly gave Qianyue a token, saying that with the token, no one would dare to stop her.Thinking of this, Li Qianyue felt that the princess was quite cute, she really could afford it, and she was thoughtful.I couldn't help feeling more fond of her.

Huanrou smiled lightly, it felt so good to breathe fresh air, and in retrospect, it had been two years since she had breathed such fresh air.

"Just find a place far away from the palace." Huanrou said with a smile.

"Far from the imperial palace? How about going to the farthest place, Waimo?" Jue Leng was very interested. She came from Waimo, and there might be a magistrate who can take care of her in Waimo. Besides, Waimo has always been self-governing. If you can and Huanrou become people from the Outer Desert, then you will be happy in this life.

"Okay, listen to Jue Leng." Huanrou felt, as if everything could indeed go back to the past, and she and Jue Leng could slowly forget everything and start over.

"Tsk tsk tsk, can you pay attention? It's really disgusting to me." Li Qianyue complained, while feeling sour in her heart.Jue Leng and Huanrou are so happy, what about their own happiness in the future?Thinking of this, I can't help but sigh.

Both Jue Leng and Huanrou looked at her and laughed.

"You still insist on going to Waiermo, I really regret it, I shouldn't have agreed to accompany you. Waiermo is too far from Cangzhou!" Li Qianyue complained.

"Then when we arrive, I will buy you a luxurious carriage and take you there, okay?" Huanrou really likes this little girl, she is straightforward and straightforward, which is obviously different from her sisters.

"Humph. Forget it. It's better for me to ride a horse. Hurry up and don't waste my time." After finishing speaking, Li Qianyue yelled at the horse and ran in front of them.

"Huanrou don't mind Qianyue, she is really nice." Jue said with a sneer, she was afraid that Huanrou didn't have deep contact with her, and thought she was malicious.

Huanrou nodded with a smile: "I can tell."

Just as they were talking and laughing as they passed a hill, they heard some voices in the distance.

"Listen, is there any noise?" Li Qianyue is worthy of being a martial arts practitioner, even though she was talking and laughing, she still maintained her due vigilance.

"It seems to be." Huanrou's heart was relatively quiet, and she heard a voice immediately.

Jue Leng couldn't hide the joy in her heart. Although she didn't hear anything, since they all said they heard it, it must be something.Absolutely rein in the horse.

"Let's go over there and have a look." Absolutely suggested.

Huanrou frowned: "Why don't you go, in case you encounter a trap or something, you will embarrass Miss Li again."

Huanrou originally intended for Li Qianyue's good, fearing that there might be an ambush that would hurt Li Qianyue.But these words just aroused Li Qianyue's curiosity, you know, she has always been competitive.

"Go and have a look, you have to trust me, what if someone needs help?" Li Qianyue was afraid that her curiosity would not be satisfied, so she immediately pulled out a high-sounding reason.

Jue Leng saw through her thoughts, smiled and shook his head: "I really have nothing to do with you, so let's go and have a look."

The three of them got closer and closer to the sound source, but the sound source stopped.

It was a grove of trees that lay beside this hill road.

The three of them looked around and saw that many people had died in this small forest.Donated blood spilled all over the place.

Jue Leng frowned, couldn't it be another creature like a dry leech attacking people?Li Qianyue saw through her mind and said with a smile: "This is what people do. You can see that the blood of these people is coming out of their chests, so the blood in their chests is stained red. The knives and swords are scattered all over the place. I guess, this It should be traces of fighting with bandits. Usually no one passes by this mountain, and such a large group of people passed by together and were all killed. I think the bandits did it."

Huanrou's heart sank. As soon as she arrived in the mortal world, she entered the palace. She thought that the palace was the most dangerous place in the world, but she never expected that so many people's lives could be lost in the world.It can be seen that if I was living outside and didn't make money, what would have happened to me?The more Huanrou thought about it, the more uncomfortable she became, and her face became even uglier.

Jue Leng held her hand tightly, she thought Huan Rou was afraid, and comforted her: "Don't worry, no matter how powerful these gangsters are, they are not Qian Yue's opponents."

Li Qianyue suddenly flew to the side and kicked a box away, Jue Leng and Huanrou couldn't help being surprised.

Is there still a bandit hiding in the box?Both Jue Leng and Huan Rou were shocked.

But to everyone's surprise, the one in the box was not a gangster, but a childish little boy. The little boy was obviously shocked by the scene in front of him, and after a few seconds of surprise, he burst into tears.

Li Qianyue's heart softened, and she hurriedly hugged him: "Okay, it's my sister who is wrong. My sister shouldn't treat you like that. My sister is not a bad person. Don't cry, okay?"

It was only then that Jue Leng realized that Li Qianyue, who was always blah, had such a gentle and beautiful side, and couldn't help showing a smile on her face.

Huanrou walked over and softly comforted the child, maybe Huanrou was more kind-looking, and the little boy buried his head in her arms.

"Hey, are you jealous?" Li Qianyue didn't forget to tease Jue Leng, and Jue Leng gave her another hard look.

"Little brother, what's the matter with you? Why are you hiding in this box alone, where are your parents?" Huanrou's voice was very soft, and the little boy stopped sobbing bit by bit.

"That's my parents." The little boy pointed at a man and a woman lying in a pool of blood, causing the three of them to sigh in their hearts.

"Sister, I'm from Qingzhou. I went to Huang Xie with my parents to see my eldest sister. My eldest sister has been married to Huang Xie for 5 years and is pregnant this year, so our family wants to go and see. My parents said that this road is the closest, but I didn't expect We met bandits. They robbed us of our money, but later they heard that the elder brother-in-law was Pei Yuanwai, so they killed his parents and some of the servants probably because he was afraid that the elder brother-in-law would be held accountable.” The little boy couldn’t help crying again .

Huanrou felt uncomfortable hearing this, so she hugged the child even tighter.The cry of the child entered her heart.Judging by the number of people killed, the child should have been born in a relatively wealthy family.The elder sister is the wife of another member of Huang Xie, so she is not an ordinary family.But from today onwards, this child has no parents to love him.

The cold was also uncomfortable, so I said to Li Qianyue: "Qianyue, let's take him and leave him alone in this barren mountain. When it gets dark, there may be wild wolves. When you leave us and go back, Take the child to Huang Xie on the way, let him find his sister."

Li Qianyue also nodded.

In this way, with their help, the little boy buried the dead bodies of his parents and followed them on the road.

When staying at night, Jue Leng saw that Huanrou's face was always very bad, and he stepped forward to hold her in his arms: "Huanrou, are you still sad about what happened today?"

"Well, he's still so young."

"Huanrou said that everything in the world has its own destiny, and maybe it will grow better after experiencing these hardships." For example, if she hadn't experienced so much, how could she be as mature as she is now?

Huanrou also stretched out her arms to hug Jue Leng, and said slowly: "I thought that if I escaped, I could forget some things, and I would be able to be happy with you and not care about anything. But I just met you now. It’s not like that. I’m still suffering, and I can’t get over this discomfort.”

"Why are you uncomfortable?" Jue Leng stroked her long hair affectionately, she didn't want to say goodbye to her for a moment.

"Mother's revenge has never been avenged." Huanrou knew that this was not a good topic for her and Jue Leng who were about to start a new life.What ability does she have now to seek revenge?

Sure enough, Jue Leng stopped talking.After all, they are no longer noble gods.

"Go to sleep, Jue Leng, I haven't hugged you to sleep for a long time." Huanrou still wanted to escape, so she took off her coat and got under the quilt, and Jue Leng sat there in a daze.

Huanrou got up and smiled slightly: "Isn't Jue Leng coming to sleep?"

Only then did Jue Leng walk over in a daze, took off his coat, and fell asleep with Huan Rou in his arms.

The two of them fell asleep together, and the thoughts that they dared not confide in on weekdays became even more raging and crazy.Jue Leng really wants to have Huan Rou again, but Huan Rou still needs to take good care of her body after giving birth soon after all.

Huanrou only felt that she was very happy to be able to sleep in Jue Leng's arms. The temperature and breath of Jue Leng could make her feel safe.Gradually, Huanrou fell asleep.

But Jue Leng couldn't fall asleep no matter what, Huanrou's words kept echoing in her ears.

Yes, she once promised that she would avenge her, and if she wanted to take back the heaven, she would definitely take back the heaven for her.If she was allowed to live in the outer desert with him, I'm afraid that she would indeed be happy, but for Huanrou, her happiness would always be compromised.

The underworld owes Huanrou a debt, so let me repay it for her.

That night, Jue Leng made a very important decision.
