Bongjun's Life and Death Tribulation

Then he half stood up, and the quilt slid down to his waist, revealing the traces of lust, "I've been pretending that I don't know anything these days, but I can't lie to myself."

"You knew already?"

"I'm not a fool, you planned every step so well, how could I not feel it?"

He Lan Ruoming then sat up, pulled up the quilt to wrap around Chu Xiran, then turned around and got out of bed.

"Tomorrow I will arrange a carriage to take you."

"thanks."

"Can't you stay for a few more days? Qi'er will be sad." He Lan Ruoming turned his back to Chu Xiran and put on his robe, seemingly casually, but his stiff movements clearly made people feel his nervousness.

"I won't stay anymore, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it." Chu Xiran walked down to the ground barefoot, and hugged He Lan Ruoming from behind, "I'm not angry with you, I'm just tired, again and again, even if I can see my sincerity It will still be tiring."

"Are you never coming back again?"

Chu Xiran nodded, "Maybe I should find an ordinary woman to form a family, and have a few more children, which can be regarded as continuing the blood of the Chu family, and I am worthy of my father under Jiuquan."

"That's fine too." He Lan Ruoming blushed, but tried not to let it fall, "I still have some papers that have not been approved, you go to bed first."

He Lan Ruoming almost rushed out the door, staggering, really embarrassed, Chu Xiran just sat on the edge of the bed with Erlang's legs crossed around the quilt and watched, until Xiao Shunzi ran in without knowing why.

"Master, what's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"It's okay, he did it on his own!" Chu Xiran smiled and fell back on the bed.

Before noon on the second day, He Lan Ruoming and Chu Xiran arrived at the execution ground in the east of the capital. They both changed into casual clothes and sat in a private room on the second floor of a private room next to the execution ground, looking out through the half-opened window.

The execution ground is located in a busy city, and it has long been surrounded by three floors and three floors of people watching the excitement. Seeing the sun move a little bit overhead, it is almost noon.

At this moment, the crowd suddenly gave way, and Hei Lin in black came in pushing a small bamboo cart, and the person sitting in the cart was Hei Yao who had already woken up.

"Who are you?" The officers and soldiers of the guard intercepted with spears.

"The emperor granted us permission to see the condemned prisoner for the last time." Hei Lin took out the token.

The golden token with the dragon pattern was dazzling, the executioner knelt down to receive the token, and the officers and soldiers retracted their spears at the same time.

Hei Lin pushed Hei Yao to the front of He Lan Ruoying who was tied behind his back and kneeling on the ground, and then took a few steps back.

Facing He Lan Ruoying who was in a state of embarrassment, Hei Yao only asked, "Before you die, can you tell me, have you ever been sincere to me in these years?"

"Then have you ever been sincere to Xiang A Duo?" He Lan Ruoying asked back.

"no."

"Me too."

"Okay, I understand." Hei Yao nodded coldly, no emotion or sadness could be seen on his bloodless face, then he turned to Hei Lin behind him and said, "Let's go."

"Let's go now?"

"The people in this game have nothing to do with me, why don't you leave? You know that I have never been a person who likes to join in the fun."

"Okay, let's go back then!"

Hei Yao pushed the cart and turned around, heading towards the way he came.

Just after he walked five steps away, the executioner shouted loudly: "It's noon, execution!"

"You really don't want to see him off?" Zhao Yuening who was waiting on the side met them.

"To whom?"

"Helan Ruoying."

Hei Yao closed his eyes, raised his head to face the sky and opened it again, there was no trace of sadness in his indifferent eyes.

"who is he?"

The blood flowed into the execution ground, and there was a strong fishy smell, which made people want to vomit.

He Lan Ruoming closed the window, poured a cup of tea to Chu Xiran's mouth, and said softly, "Moisturize your throat."

"Thank you." After taking the tea and drinking it down, Chu Xiran twirled the porcelain cup in his hand a few times, and suddenly asked, "How could someone like Hei Yao follow He Lan Ruoying?"

"I remember that Helan Ruoying and General Qi always played together when they were young, until Helan Jiade was demoted as a commoner and sent to Xiangxi."

"It seems that General Qi has no personal affair."

"You are wrong, he has already helped He Lan Ruoying. But instead of helping him escape, he helped him put on a show." He Lan Ruoming said this, with a wry smile on his face, "On this point, he is Kind of like me."

"You mean..."

"If I were caught and beheaded today, would you want to avenge me?"

"meeting."

"Hei Yao is also such a person. So He Lan Ruoying knows that even if he will be sad, even if he hates himself for the rest of his life, it's better than worrying about his death and letting him live in pain thinking about hatred day and night! If it were me, I would do the same.”

"You really are brothers by blood. Even counting people you care about is a virtue. When I'm with you, I always think about when you are true and when you are false, which makes me suspicious .”

"So you made up your mind to go?"

"Yes, it's time to go." Chu Xiran put down the porcelain bowl and said with a smile, "You won't go back on your word, will you?"

"No." He Lan Ruoming shook his head helplessly, and smiled a little awkwardly, "The carriage is already waiting outside, and I have prepared a box of silver for you, as an early wedding gift for you. I know when you will get married, but I reckon that you won't inform me, so it's better to give the gift first, so don't look stingy like an emperor like me."

"Thank you in advance." Chu Xiran said, took the white jade dragon and phoenix chicken heart pendant from his waist and stuffed it into He Lan Ruoming's hand, "I will return this to you, I don't think I need it and I won't do it again Use it, why not give it to your new queen in the future, remember to marry someone who is more virtuous and gentle, and give you more princes and princesses."

The smooth jade pendant was in the palm of his hand, but it was like a soldering iron. It was heavy and hot. It made his heart ache and his eyes were red. Yard, do you still need to worry about it?"

"Okay, then I'm leaving."

"Okay, let's go then."

The wooden door was opened with a creak, and with the sound of footsteps leaving, He Lan Ruoming slowly turned around. In the empty room, the man's leisurely smile seemed to be still in front of him, but everything was over.

end

He Lan Ruoming locked himself in the imperial study for a whole day, until Xiao Linzi came in to urge him for the sixth time, then he put down the writing brush dipped in cinnabar and walked out of the imperial study.

The heavy dew at night made him shiver from the cold, Xiao Linzi hurried forward to wrap him in a fox fur coat, and asked cautiously, "Which palace will the emperor go tonight?"

"Go back to Qianqing Palace."

"Yes." Xiao Linzi winked at the eunuch behind him who was waiting to pass the green card.

A group of people followed He Lan Ruoming along the east gate to the gate of Qianqing Palace, saw him lift his foot, thought for a while, then turned and walked towards the left gate of Guangsheng, "I want to be quiet, so don't follow."

The group had no choice but to stop where they were, watching the current emperor walking along the long red wall alone.

"Is this direction going to Yonghe Palace?" The eunuch next to Xiao Linzi muttered.

"Shut up! How many heads do you think you have?" Kobayashi scolded.

"Yes, I know I was wrong." The little eunuch shrank his head and shut his mouth quickly.

He Lan Ruoming pushed open the gate of Yonghe Palace, stepped through the threshold, and walked into the garden.

The unoccupied Yonghe Palace was very quiet at night, but what shocked He Lan Ruoming was that there were actually candles burning in the originally dark room.

Which bold slave dared to trespass into the Yonghe Palace while no one was there?

He Lan Ruoying only felt a fire burning in his heart, he raised his foot and kicked the door open with a bang, his eyes fell directly on the people in the room, and then he was so stupid at the door.

Red candles were lit in the room, and beside the red candles, someone was sitting cross-legged on the couch, carefully cleaning his long sword.

"Will you push the door well? Do you have to kick it?" Chu Xiran glanced at He Lan Ruoming who was sluggish with a smile, and said, "You're planning on me, and I'll lie to you once and say It’s still my fault to get up.”

"You... haven't you left?" He Lan Ruoming looked at Chu Xiran in front of him, suddenly thinking that this was his dream.

"Did you forget that we are now one Gu and two lives? Why don't I take good care of you, and if you die, don't I also want to see King Yama?"

"But that jade pendant is in my hand, how did you get back?"

"Just in case, I hid the real one very early on. The one I wear around my waist every day is a fake."

"So you're not leaving? Are you really not leaving?" He Lan Ruoming's eyes sparkled.

Chu Xiran put away the long sword and hung it aside, then stepped forward and pulled He Lan Ruoming's wrist, touching the six raised scars on his skin back and forth with his fingers.

"For the sake of these six scars, and because of what you've been nagging all night, I'll stay here for the time being. One day you'll make me unhappy, and I'll still leave."

He Lan Ruoming looked at Chu Xiran in front of him. This man in his 30s, dressed in white, had bright eyes when he smiled, and was gentle yet tenacious. He still remembered that this man asked him at that time, "He Lan Ruoming, can I What kind of thing is Chu Xiran in your heart?" Now he finally has the clearest answer.

Chu Xiran, you are the person I am willing to protect with my life for the rest of my life.

Amazon Meiji 17th winter.

Xiang A Duo gave birth to a stillborn baby and died in the harem madly.

All civil and military officials implicated in the case of treason were executed. Among them, Huo's family was copied and beheaded, and nine clans were implicated, a total of 320 people.

Because the harem was involved in the treason case, today's son ordered to purge the harem concubines and suspend the three-yearly draft.

Amazon Meiji 27 spring.

Helan Ruoming decreed to abdicate, and the prince Helan Ruoxi ascended the throne, changing the name of the country to Tongsheng.

In the autumn of the same year, Zhao Yuening and Hei Lin ran into He Lan Ruoming and Chu Xiran in a small town in the south of the Yangtze River. Zhao Yuening ran away when he saw this. Chu Xiran said that he was a guilty conscience. He Lan Ruoming patted Hei Lin on the shoulder and said: Those six cuts are good, I have to buy you a drink.

Extra Story ([-])

Since He Lan Ruoxi came to the throne, He Lan Ruoming and Chu Xiran moved to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

On this day, just after dawn, He Lanruoxi, who had left court, went straight to the Hall of Mental Cultivation, and hugged Chu Xiran who was sitting at the table having breakfast.

"Father, Qi'er doesn't want to be drafted!"

Chu Xiran glanced at He Lan Ruoming who was sitting aside, and saw that he was frowning with displeasure on his face.

"Helan Ruoxi, come down for me!"

"Father!" He Lanruoxi reluctantly let go of her hands, and stood aside with her arms down.

"It's becoming more and more unruly! When you enter the door, you don't know how to say hello first, so you yell! What? You don't take us seriously after you ascended the throne?" He Lan Ruoming said sharply.

"Qi'er dare not." He Lanruoxi lowered her head even lower.

Chu Xiran patted the back of He Lan Ruoming's hand, and then asked He Lan Ruoxi softly, "Why don't you want to draft?"

"I don't like those official ladies."

He Lan Ruoming sighed, and taught a lesson: "It's not something you can decide whether you like it or not. How many times have I told you that this is..."

"For the sake of the country, for the prosperity of the royal family. I know all of this, but if you don't like it, you don't like it." He Lanruoxi knelt down and replied stubbornly, "Qi'er just wants to find someone who loves each other wholeheartedly, like Father and queen are the same."

He Lan Ruoming was rendered speechless, so he could only turn his head to look at Chu Xiran with a frustrated look on his face.

Chu Xiran stared back at him, then looked down at the young emperor who was kneeling in front of him, and asked, "If your father was only me, then where did you come from?"

As soon as this question came out, not only He Lan Ruoxi was stunned, but even He Lan Ruoming on one side also became stiff.

"Your father was drafted five times back then, and there were countless beauties in the harem, and the empress father was only drafted into the palace for the second time, and so was your biological mother. If you remember what happened when you were young, you should remember those in the harem to some extent." Girl. Although I am the only one by your father's side now, we have paid a lot of money to get together. What about you? What have you paid for?"

"I just remember, so I don't even want to be drafted." He Lanruoxi's voice was a little softer, but she was still not convinced, "How could Qi'er not remember how hard the empress father was."

Chu Xiran and He Lan Ruoming looked at each other, the former raised the corners of his lips slightly, while the latter scratched his head with a look of caution.

"Your father has his own difficulties. As an emperor, he has his own limitations, because this is his responsibility, just like what he taught you since childhood. You are so smart and reasonable, you should have kept it in mind long ago. Yes, Your father never drafted again, but that was because the rebellion involved the harem, so he had reason to suspend the draft. But your new emperor's enthronement, drafting, marriage, and reproduction are your responsibilities as an emperor. "Chu Xiran seemed gentle, but his words were extremely severe.

"Father is someone who has been there. Father understands your desire to be with someone, but before that person appears, you must fulfill your responsibilities as the king of a country. If one day you have someone you love, father The emperor and empress father will definitely support you, and whether you want to stop the draft or purge the harem, as long as you have the ability to persuade civil and military officials, emperor father will never object."

"Or does Qi'er already have someone she likes?" Chu Xiran looked at He Lan Ruoxi with a smile.

"Not yet." He Lan Ruoxi shook her head lightly.

"Get up, don't keep kneeling." Chu Xiran pulled him to sit beside her, "Have you had breakfast yet?"

"not yet."

"Then sit down and eat something, and talk with us."

"Okay." He Lanruoxi sat down obediently, and didn't mention the matter of not being drafted.

He Lan Ruoming looked at He Lan Ruoxi who was snuggling beside Chu Xiran, his eyes almost popped out of his sockets, this child now looks the same as when he was young, now that he is so close to Chu Xiran, he No matter how you look at it, you feel awkward, as if your wife has been robbed by another self.

But as soon as he was old and couldn't care about his son, he could only lower his head and eat a few mouthfuls of porridge, and then he was secretly depressed in his heart.

After He Lan Ruoxi left, Chu Xiran poked He Lan Ruoming's cheek so funny, leaned over and asked in his ear, "What's wrong with you? You look unhappy."

"Qi'er is spoiled by you." He Lan Ruoming muttered.

"Me? You dote on him even more?"

"I didn't pet him!"

"Yes, yes, you didn't pet him, otherwise why would you force him to draft."

"Do you think I did something wrong?" He Lan Ruoming carefully looked at the person in front of him.

"What kind of people are you planning to stuff into his harem?" Chu Xiran gave him a disapproving sideways glance.

"this and that......"

"It's all girls, isn't it?"

"Okay, okay! I can't do it! There is a man with a handle, who is the second son of General Fang."

"General Fang? There is only one General Fang in the entire dynasty, and that is Fang Shijun who guards the northern border." Chu Xiran's brows were knit together, and there was a little anger in his eyes, "He Lan Ruoming, this time you even killed your own son. Calculate?"

"I'm going to die unjustly! This was proposed by General Fang in private when he returned to the court last year, and he himself wanted to send his son to the palace."

"Send your son to the palace to be a male concubine? You threatened, right?"

"Xiran, is it that bad for me in your heart?"

"What do you think?" Chu Xiran raised Erlang's legs and changed his sitting position, stroking the jade pendant on his waist while sneering, "Do you want me to count each piece with you?"

He Lan Ruoming could only sigh, and continued to explain: "General Fang's second son is called Fang Linsu. He was weak and sick since he was a child, but General Fang's wife died early, so he had to take his second son to the frontier. The environment in the frontier is harsh. It's not good for Fang Linsu's body at all, not to mention that Fang Linsu's physique is not suitable for playing with knives and guns. He can't go to the battlefield like his father and brother. It's like a girl's house. So last time I drank with General Fang, and when he drank too much, he said at the throat that he would let Fang Linsu enter the palace to be Qi'er's male concubine, so that he would not have to worry about being a father."

"Is Fang Shijun crazy?" Chu Xiran was shocked.

"Tian Cheng already has you as a male queen, and he is not afraid of having another one. Who cares about male and female concubines? Tell me, this Fang Shijun is very smart!"

"Then why do you agree?"

"What do you think?" He Lan Ruoming chuckled, "If Qi'er really likes Shang Sulin, we won't suffer."

"Have you sent shadow guards to investigate him?"

"Xiran, that's Beijiang, don't be careless! It's good if Fang Sulin enters the palace, at least I don't have to worry about the military camp in Beijiang having dissent."

"You..." Chu Xiran couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Suspicion just can't get rid of."

"This is the last thing I can do for Tiancheng, and I will leave it to Qi'er in the future. I don't want to care if the sky falls!"

He Lan Ruoming suddenly stood up and walked in front of Chu Xiran, half-kneeling in front of him, and wrapped his arms tightly around his waist.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Xiran, after the draft is over, let's go to Jiangnan."

"Why do you suddenly want to go to Jiangnan?"

"This red wall has trapped you and me for too long. It's time to go for a walk." He Lan Ruoming raised his head, and the corners of his eyes were bent. His face was no longer youthful, only the fatigue of vicissitudes was left, but the twinkling But there was youthful expectation in his eyes, "I am no longer the king of a country. From now on, I am just He Lan Ruoming of Chu Xiran. I will not sacrifice our happiness for anything. We will fight against ordinary people." Husband and wife, until the day they die together."

"Who taught you this?"

"Zhao Yueru."

"You are being honest."

"I told you I wouldn't lie to you again."

"Forgive you for now."

"Well, do you want to go to Jiangnan?"

"Of course."

"Hee Ran..."

"kindness?"

"It's a good thing you stayed."

"Fool!" Chu Xiran smiled, and hugged the person lying on top of her, "Anyway, he's also an emperor, what does he look like kneeling like this!"

"One more time, one more time!"

Outside the door, He Lanruoxi, who had gone and returned, quietly looked at the two people embracing each other in the room, and then quietly retreated out.

"Your Majesty, why did you come out?" Xiao Linzi, who was guarding the door, asked him.

"Eunuch Lin, back then Emperor Father..."

"What's wrong?"

"Forget it, it's nothing. I'm leaving first, don't tell them I'm back again."

"Huh?" Xiao Linzi was puzzled for a moment, then quickly nodded, "I obey the order."

Extra Story ([-])

After autumn, the weather will always be cooler in the morning and evening. When the wind blows, the chill will make people have to wear more clothes.

Chu Xiran's body has been damaged since the injury, and she often coughs when it's cold. Fortunately, the imperial doctor in the palace has been taking care of her carefully, so she won't be seriously ill.

But how could He Lan Ruoming be relieved easily?He was always afraid that he would be exposed to the wind or catch the cold, so he kept nagging endlessly, to the point where Chu Xiran was terrified of nagging.

So it was only this season, and he consciously wrapped himself in a fur cloak, covering himself tightly.

"Let's say you're impatient. We should have lived in the last town, so we won't be sleeping outside now." Chu Xiran said while sitting by the fire with his knees folded.

"Isn't it good here? You see, we have mountains and rivers behind us, and there is a big rock to cover us. Wouldn't it be nice to sleep with the sky as our quilt and the ground as our mat?"

"I'm afraid you're not used to sleeping in the wild."

"As long as it doesn't freeze you, I really like this. It seems that there are only two of us left in the world, so we are at ease."

"Stupid."

Chu Xiran turned his face sideways, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and a long sword wrapped in blue brocade was lying beside him. He stretched out his fingers to touch the blade, while looking at He Lan Ruoming.

He Lan Ruoming was sitting a few steps away from him, and was setting up another small fire frame, using earthen pots to burn the tonics he brought from the palace. Fan, the result was too much smoke, so that I choked and coughed again and again.

"It doesn't matter if you don't eat for a day, go to the inn tomorrow and let the waiter help you cook."

"How can I do that? Besides, I don't feel at ease when someone else does it. I didn't fry your medicine myself?" He Lan Ruoming shouted stubbornly.

"We are outside now, so we don't need to pay so much attention." Chu Xiran looked at He Lan Ruoming's seriousness, feeling distressed and funny at the same time.

"You have to pay attention to your medicine! And you can't miss it even once! You just wait to drink the medicine obediently!"

After a while, the medicine was finally cooked. He Lan Ruoming held the bowl, blew on it a few times, took another sip of the medicine to measure the temperature, and then sent it to Chu Xiran.

"Okay, let's drink."

Chu Xiran took the bowl and held it in his palm, smelled it, and wrinkled his nose in disgust, "I'm so sick of smelling it."

"No matter how tired you are, you have to drink it!" He Lan Ruoming moved to sit beside him, "After drinking the medicine, go back to the carriage early and rest, I will watch the night outside."

"I'll stay here with you."

"It's windy outside, your body..."

Chu Xiran gave He Lan Ruoming a blank look, then pinched his nose and gulped down the soup in the bowl, wiped his mouth and threw the bowl back, dissatisfied: "Don't treat me like a big girl, can you make it? Such an old man, how can he be so weak and not startled!"

"Hey? How about forty? Why do I feel that you are still as tender as before!"

"Your mouth is getting poorer and poorer! No wonder you are always said to be old and disrespectful."

"Who said that?"

"Who else? Today's day!"

"That kid... he became so big in the blink of an eye..." He Lan Ruoming suddenly sighed with emotion.

"I don't know how he gets along with that Fang Sulin."

"Worried?"

"Fang Sulin is too boring, his personality is not suitable for living in the harem."

At the draft, both He Lan Ruoming and Chu Xiran saw Fang Sulin. This child is fair and clean, and his facial features are also quite delicate. He must have inherited his mother's appearance. Unfortunately, his body is too thin, and he always lowers his head and asks questions. In a word, I don't like to make a sound, and I can't compare with other selected small hosts.

"Don't worry about the children's affairs. Whether they are destined or not is their own business. Qi'er has his own discretion in his heart, and he will never neglect Fang Sulin."

"Just because he is Fang Shijun's second son?"

"Where are you talking?" He Lan Ruoming pulled Chu Xiran over and hugged him, "Fang Sulin is different from you, and Qi'er is also different from me. What you are worried about will not happen to them." On him. Qi'er is a child who knows how to cherish, you and I watched him grow up, shouldn't we have some confidence in him?"

"Then do you think he will like Shang Surin?"

"It's hard to say, but I always feel that this kid... doesn't seem to like girls very much... Otherwise, he wouldn't be so fiercely opposed to the draft."

"Like a father, like a son" Chu Xiran gave him a sideways look.

"Actually, if he really wants to have a son, I'm quite supportive. It's the issue of heirs..." He Lan Ruoming rubbed his head helplessly, "He has to compromise, and I can't help him with this."

"If Qi'er also becomes a male queen, the ministers will probably hate me to death."

"Who made you the number one male empress of Tiancheng! Back then, I knelt down in front of the memorial tablets of my ancestors all night!"

"You can break the contract, and I can't do anything to you."

He Lan Ruoming's eyes sank, he tightened the strength of his arms, and said word by word against Chu Xiran's ear, "Do you know why I didn't want to become queen back then?"

"Don't say you wanted to set me up long ago! At that time, I was a sinner imprisoned in the Yonghe Palace, and I couldn't be worthy of your love!"

After Chu Xiran finished speaking, the people around him suddenly fell silent, only the sound of breathing past their ears, and a long wry smile that didn't seem to exist.

"Why don't you talk anymore?" Chu Xiran only felt pain in his heart, thinking about those things would make him uncomfortable, for himself and for the person around him.

In fact, no matter how many years have passed, no matter how much we love each other now, the traces engraved in our hearts are still there.He knew that for He Lan Ruoming, perhaps the sequelae brought about by that past were deeper and heavier.

"I won't be a queen." After a while of silence, He Lan Ruoming finally said, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be a queen, because that's the position of a wife, a position that can only be given to a lifetime partner , there will be no second person except you. At that time, this was the only idea I could stick to according to my willfulness. "

"But then I nearly died."

"So, I never thought of becoming a queen. I even thought about secretly moving your body into the imperial mausoleum after you die, and going to accompany you after I abdicate."

"You..." Chu Xiran shook his head helplessly, "Forget it, let's not talk about it, it's been so long, it shouldn't be mentioned."

"Hee Ran..."

"That's enough, don't talk about it." Chu Xiran sat up straight, picked up the firewood on one side and stirred the fire a few times, only to hear the sound of crackling, crackling, sparks exploding in the dark night, and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves Rusting, there is a kind of indescribable loneliness.

"It took us most of our lives to know how to cherish each other. I only hope that Qi'er will be better than us, at least not so bitter, and not have so much regret. As for the two of us, we are already old, what do we want to do so much in the past? Besides, it won't last for a few years. I know my body. Although I have been taking care of it carefully all these years, it has damaged the foundation and it will not last long. But we have one Gu and two lives, and no one can do without it. Who, you have to die after I die, think about it carefully, and no one owes anyone else."

"Don't worry, Qi'er is a person who cherishes blessings." He Lan Ruoming stretched out his hand to hold Chu Xiran, "You should go to the car and sleep for a while, if you know that you are not in good health, don't hold on, I'm watching outside, I'm not tired."

"Hey~ I should bring Xiao Linzi and Xiao Shunzi with me."

"Isn't it good just the two of us? I'm willing to serve you personally." He Lan Ruoming opened his mouth and hung on Chu Xiran with a smile, "Xiran, how about I carry you into the car?"

"I can walk by myself." Chu Xiran glanced at him vigilantly, stood up and walked towards the carriage, quickly pulled up the door curtain and bent down to get inside. Suddenly, he poked his head out again and called, "Ruoming, come here."

As soon as He Lan Ruoming heard the call, he hurriedly followed, "Are you hungry? Need some water? Or is it cold?"

"Put this on." Chu Xiran took off the cloak, put it directly on He Lan Ruoming, and tied the belt for him, "Call me if you get tired in the middle of the night."

"I'm not tired." He Lan Ruoming leaned forward slightly, kissed Chu Xiran's cheek, "Go to sleep."

Chu Xiran was awakened by the chirping of birds in the woods. He rubbed his eyes, looked at the faint light outside the curtain, and stretched out his hand to lift a corner of the curtain.

The cold morning wind rushed into the carriage suddenly, and he not only shivered a bit.

Outside the carriage, He Lan Ruoming was sitting by the fire and cooking something, he was earnestly adding firewood to stir the fire, his tired eyes reflected the warm light of the fire.

Hearing the sound of Chu Xiran getting out of the car, he turned his head and vacated the place where he had been sitting.

"It's easy to get cold when you wake up, so drink some hot tea to warm you up first." He Lan Ruoming scooped up a bowl of hot tea and stuffed it into Chu Xiran's palm, then took off his cloak and wrapped it around him, "Eat some dry food We'll be on our way, if we leave early, we can reach the next town earlier."

"Aren't you going to sleep for a while? It's too tiring to travel like this." Chu Xiran touched the corners of He Lan Ruoming's eyes with his warm fingertips, "Look at you, your eyes are red."

"I am fine."

"Actually, we are not in a hurry, why are we in such a hurry?"

"I've done the math. At this speed, we'll be able to reach Suzhou before sunset the day after tomorrow."

"Suzhou?" Chu Xiran was startled.

"Don't you want to go back and see your mother and sister?"

The last time Chu Xiran quietly returned to Suzhou was the year of his mother's fiftieth birthday. It has been six or seven years since he sent letters back every few months, but after all, both his mother and sister were Helan Ruoming. They were quietly sent to Suzhou, for fear of causing trouble, he never went back to Suzhou to see them again, and it was a lie to say that he didn't miss them.

"Let's hurry up, and you'll see them the day after tomorrow!"

"You really want to go with me to see my mother?" Chu Xiran was stunned.

"I know that the old lady may not be willing to see me, but there are some things that can be passed without pretending to be deaf and dumb. Just like last night, when it comes to the past, we habitually avoided talking about it, but I know, in your heart Never forgave me, and I never forgave myself."

Chu Xiran paused holding the bowl, lowered his eyes to look at the burning fire in front of him, opened his mouth to speak, but didn't know what to say, because He Lan Ruoming was right, he never forgave Over him, just trying to make myself forget.He has loved and hated, and now he just wants to live a good life with everyone he cherishes.

"Before I left, I had asked Qi'er to reverse the case for Old General Chu." He Lan Ruoming quietly looked at the person in front of him.

"Reversal? If the verdict is successfully reversed, it will be the same as telling the world that you were wrongly convicted and killed. Wouldn't it be a slap in the face of yourself?" Chu Xiran exclaimed.

"So what? I've already abdicated." He Lan Ruoming scratched his head a little unnaturally, "If I didn't do this, how would I have the courage to meet the old lady? After the case is overturned, the tomb of the old general can be moved back to the old lady." In the capital, the old lady no longer has to hide in Tibet and live so poorly."

"I said you, I kissed the wrong ass." Chu Xiran laughed, "My mother likes living on the mountain, she said it is much quieter than the capital city, and as for my father's tomb, my mother will never move it again." of."

"Oh? Then what should I do?"

"Why don't you go and kneel in front of my father's grave until my mother asks you to get up."

"it is good."

"Maybe my mother won't let you get up after kneeling until you pass out."

"it is good."

"You are also the Son of Heaven after all..."

"I kneel."

"I say you......"

"I should kneel."

The wind blew the leaves and made rustling noises. Chu Xiran brushed the hair that was blown to his cheeks with his hands, lowered his head to drink the hot tea in the bowl, cleared his throat, and then said slowly: "I knew today , why did you do it in the first place?"

Extra Story ([-])

It is said that He Lan Ruoming and Chu Xiran arrived in Gusu, went to Lingyan Mountain, met Chu's mother, and worshiped Chu's father.

When they went down the mountain and returned to the town, the two found an inn to stay.

At night, the lights were turned off, and the two of them lay together. The sudden darkness brought back the scenes of the day before their eyes. I don't know who sighed first, and the two hands under the quilt clasped together tacitly.

"Your mother will never forgive me in this life." He Lan Ruoming turned around and buried her face in Chu Xiran's neck.

"That's inevitable." Chu Xiran stared blankly at the dark ceiling, feeling a sense of desolation welling up in her heart, "My entry into the palace, my father's death, and the exile of the whole family, my mother endured the great changes of the Chu family all by herself. , how could she let go of her despair and pain so easily, it's not bad if she didn't hit you out with a stick."

"Fortunately, she at least agreed to let me pay homage to the old general."

"It's not a sacrifice, it's a kowtow to atone! You owe him your life." Chu Xiran's voice was a little shrill.

"Well, the incense of the Chu family has also been cut off. If you think about it like this, it's too light to kowtow a hundred heads."

"Then why don't I find a woman to have a baby, what do you think?"

"It's fine if you say yes."

"Really?" Chu Xiran raised his tone.

"If you just want a child..." He Lan Ruoming murmured, but suddenly said firmly: "But after giving birth to a child, that woman must be sent away."

"I can't do this kind of thing." Chu Xiran pursed her lips and smiled, then turned around and hugged He Lan Ruoming back, "Does your forehead still hurt?"

"Fortunately."

"After applying the medicine, I don't know how many days it will recover."

"It doesn't matter if there are scars."

"That's ugly."

"As long as you don't dislike me."

"You still say such things when you're so old." Chu Xiran shook her head and curled her mouth, and slapped the thief's hand that got into her coat at some point, "I'm tired, go to sleep."

"Okay." He Lan Ruoming withdrew his hand obediently.

"My mother likes to eat Jiangnan pastries. They should be glutinous and sweet. The pastries should not be too big. They can be eaten in one or two bites, and they can't buy too many. She doesn't like to waste."

He Lan Ruoming rolled his eyes, kissed Chu Xiran's face, and said cheerfully: "
