After marriage and marriage, I became the favorite of the group

That's what being an emperor is like. The emperor stepped on the bones of others. Under the emperor's throne are piles of bones, piled up like a mountain.

This was true for Emperor Liang, and even more so for Helian Zhu.

But He Lianzhu never thought about putting these things in front of Ruan Jiu, let alone putting Ruan Jiu on top of this pile of bones.

If the king's throne is destined to be built on bones, then he hopes to hold his queen safe and sound in his arms.

He will hold his hands so that he will not touch the cold bones; he will bind his feet so that he will not step on rotting flesh; and he will cover his eyes so that he will not see the throne. Too tragic hell on earth.

Now his queen jumped down in front of him, onto the pile of bones.

He will step on bones, and his fingertips will touch rotten, sticky flesh.

He will see the worst reality under the throne.

He Lianzhu's heart seemed to be hit hard with a hammer, his whole body was frozen, and the echo of the hammer could still be vaguely heard in his ears.

He Lianzhu rushed towards the tiankeng quickly, before everyone could react.

The tiankeng was big and deep, and the sun had already set at this time, and nothing could be seen clearly under the abyss. He Lianzhu followed Ruan Jiu into it without hesitation amidst the shouts of all the courtiers.

In a year's time, the corpses in the pit have already turned into bones, and it hurts to fall on it.

He Lianzhu was agile, supported the pit wall and slid to the bottom, then quickly stood up and looked around.

He could still see the surrounding environment clearly, and after seeing Ruan Jiu's location, he walked towards him quickly.

White bones lay beside his feet, and countless fingers with only bones left grabbed his clothes, trousers, and shoes.

The people killed by him, at this moment, are very united in tying his hands and feet, preventing him from going to the only person he cares about in the world.

He Lianzhu didn't believe in ghosts and gods, let alone be afraid of ghosts and gods, he kicked away those annoying things regardless, and walked towards Ruan Jiu step by step.

Ruan Jiu fell down and fell to the bottom of the pit, his whole body ached, he barely sat up while holding on to something on the ground, and didn't know where he was.

The mind is still chaotic.

He doesn't know what to do carefully, and he doesn't know how to do these things well.Over the years, I have not regarded myself as a meticulous worker.

He just spent a few days at the end of each year, worrying for a while, substituting himself into the detailed work, and writing letters to Emperor Liang.

Normally, he is the young son of the Ruan family, the great witch of Jiwu, and the queen of Helianzhu.

It is now July, and it has been seven months since the last time he remembered his identity as a secret worker.

He has already temporarily forgotten these things.

But these white bones suddenly appeared in front of him, and told him off guard.

they are the same.

It turned out to be the same.

Ruan Jiu has always been unwilling to think about the discovery of Xi Zuo's identity, he thought he could hide it well until the crown prince or Xiao Mingyuan ascended the throne.

Xiao Mingyuan would definitely not embarrass him, and the crown prince probably would not because of his elder brother's sake.

But the King of England...

The King of England sent someone to bring him here.

I just wanted to tell him that He Lianzhu knew it, He Lianzhu knew it, and he knew all the details...

Ruan Jiu's sluggish mind finally came to a blunt reaction. He raised his head, saw Helian Zhu walking towards him, and subconsciously backed away.

The speed at which he retreated could not keep up with the speed at which He Lianzhu strode towards him. Before he could react, he was hugged by He Lianzhu.

Ruan Jiu was a small one, trembling all over.He Lianzhu wanted to hold him down and pat him on the back to make him not be so afraid.

Before he could speak, warm liquid dripped on the back of his hand.

He Lianzhu was taken aback for a moment, he couldn't care about anything, he just apologized: "I'm sorry, I was wrong, I shouldn't have lied to you."

He reached out to wipe away the tears on Ruan Jiu's face, but he didn't want to wipe more and more.

If he knew this earlier, when he sent people to kill these people, he should have told them to bury the bodies properly.

Well now, found out.

"Don't be sad, I know you and them all know each other and have a good relationship." He Lianzhu was really terrified, and didn't know how to explain it to him, but Ruan Jiu didn't make a sound at all, but the tears flowed more and more The more you cry, the more fierce you cry.

He was really flustered: "I'll let people bury them properly, okay? Or I... I didn't want to do anything to them at first, but they are meticulous..."

As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned.

Ruan Jiu was still crying, he opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.

And Helian Zhu seemed to have thought of this too.

Ruan Jiu is also a meticulous work.

He Lianzhu hurriedly said: "I didn't mean that, I didn't..."

Ruan Jiu opened his mouth, his voice was hoarse and crying: "I'm sorry..."

"No, I didn't..." I didn't mean to kill you.

"Me too..." Ruan Jiu didn't know how to say it, even though He Lianzhu might have known it, he still couldn't say it.

He Lianzhu liked him so much and regarded him as the most trusted person in the world.

But he is meticulous.

Ask him to pull Helian Zhu out of the abyss of being alone, and then push him back with his own hands.

Ruan Jiu couldn't speak, couldn't say a word.

He Lianzhu also didn't know what to say, so he could only hug him tightly.

Ruan Jiu cried for a long time until the moon rose.

He has no strength.After running around for two or three days, I haven't eaten much, and now I cried a lot, and finally I can only lose my strength and lean against He Lianzhu's arms.

He Lianzhu touched Ruan Jiu's temples and hugged him.

He yelled "Come here", and the people outside dared to light the torches and look inside.

"King? Queen?"

"It's okay." He Lianzhu responded lightly, raised his hand, and asked the person above to throw a rope down.

On the grassland, people often fall into the tiankeng without paying attention. This is a common way to save people.

Others asked He Lianzhu to tie the rope around Ruan Jiu's waist so that they could pull the queen up first.

But He Lianzhu just put Ruan Jiu down, seeing Ruan Jiu's pitiful face with red eyes and trembling body, he couldn't bear it.

Can't bear to let go for a moment.

Without hesitation, He Lianzhu took off his outer clothes and was surrounded by Ruan Jiu.

Ruan Jiu wore his clothes, a large part of the clothes dragged to the floor, and they were simply wrapped around him tightly, covering his whole body.

Ruan Jiu didn't need to lower his head, he could smell the smell of Helian Zhu, the smell of withered grass on the grassland, and the vigorous wildness of the wolf.

Afterwards, He Lianzhu still held him in his arms, and wrapped the rope around the two people's waists tightly several times.

He put Ruan Jiu's hand around his neck and asked him to hug him tightly. Then he held the rope and climbed up vigorously.

He Lianzhu had already climbed up a certain distance, and Ruan Jiu came back to his senses in a trance, and subconsciously wanted to let go of his hand, and then realized that he couldn't move around.

He Lianzhu noticed that the hand on his neck was loosening and tightening, so he said: "Don't move around, hold it tight."

"... Oh." Ruan Jiu replied blankly, then grabbed his neck, almost completely nestled in his arms, with his head pressed against his chest.

He thought dully, it turned out that Helian Zhu didn't want to kill him, but wanted to save him.

Helian Zhu is really good.

He thought so, and said it like this: "You are so kind."

He Lianzhu paused, and his breathing stopped for a moment.

Ruan Jiu asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Helian Zhu paused, with a "cold" tone, and simply replied: "I can't move anymore."

Ruan Jiu glanced down: "Then what should we do? Are we going back again?" He suddenly thought of something bad, his eyes turned red again, and whispered: "Then you want to throw me down? "

He Lianzhu didn't dare to tease him anymore, he lowered his head, pecked at the corner of his eye, then climbed up with both hands, and reached the ground.

"..."

Ruan Jiu nestled in He Lianzhu's arms, and He Lianzhu was lowering his head to untie the rope tied around their waists.

Ruan Jiu tried to question him: "It's only one step away."

He Lianzhu didn't explain: "Just now I couldn't move."

The attendants wisely stayed away, and only after receiving He Lianzhu's order did they dare to step forward, put clothes on Ruan Jiu, and check his injuries.

It was getting late, and a group of people settled down in the post house in Beiting.

Ruan Jiu suffered some skin injuries. When he fell into the tiankeng, he fell on his back to the ground. His back and legs were covered with bruises from bumps. Vomited several times.

Ruan Jiu felt extremely uncomfortable, and lay on the couch with his pillow in his arms, asking He Lianzhu to apply medicine to him.

He Lianzhu put some medicinal wine in his palm, rubbed it to warm it up, and then pressed it on the bruise on Ruan Jiu's back.

Ruan Jiu was born white, and his body is easy to leave marks, but it turns red when he is pinched, and the bruises on his back look particularly severe.

He Lianzhu didn't expect that the tricks set up by those secret agents during the autumn hunting failed to hurt Ruan Jiu, but they died. When Ruan Jiu was in front of him, Ruan Jiu was still injured.

The two of them did not speak in a tacit understanding.

I don't know how long it took, when He Lianzhu was about to speak, he yelled "soft chirp", and he found that Ruan Jiu had fallen asleep.

There was no other way, he could only hug the thin blanket and cover Ruan Jiu.

Ruan Jiu tilted his head and fell asleep leaning against the pillow. He cried so much earlier that he couldn't breathe, and his face was still red.His eyelashes trembled slightly, and there were still wet tears hanging from his eyes.

He Lianzhu lay down beside him, stretched out his fingertips, and poked his cheek.

He whispered: "I am a fool."

He fell in love with the spy sent by other countries, and he protected him for five years, lived and died for him.

There is no king in the world more stupid than He Lianzhu.

Beiting is very close to Xiyuan.

The old general Pale took the soldier talisman, led the soldiers and horses, and went to Xiyuan to stop the people, and happened to meet the leader of Kaka, Wen Bo.He also waited in Xiyuan with soldiers dressed in Liang people's clothes.

After asking each other, they realized that they were all here to wait for the queen.

Immediately afterwards, news came from Beiting.

The queen has been caught up by the king, and she was injured a little bit, so she probably won't be able to come to Xiyuan.

But He Lianzhu didn't let them transfer their troops back, but let them stay where they are.

Both of them knew what this meant, and He Lianzhu wanted them to pay attention to Liang Guo's movements.

So people from both sides stationed in Xiyuan City.

When the envoy was sent back to report, Pa Le and Wen Bo boarded the tower of Xiyuan City, and saw smoke and dust rising from Liangzhou City in the distance.

It was as if something had happened.

Pale immediately ordered the city gate to be closed, and watched Liang Guocheng from the tower.

Not long after, the gate of Liangzhou city was broken open from the inside, and a group of people, about a hundred people escorted several people, escaped from the city.

The Xiyuan garrison on the same tower received the envoys of Liang Guo five years ago. He looked at the few people in the team, thought about it for a while, and suddenly remembered, and said in surprise: "That was sent five years ago. The queen's friend, the queen's friend, seems to be the eighth prince of Liang, and..."

When he said this, Xiao Mingyuan was sitting on the horse's back, holding the bow in one hand and the rein in the other, leaning over, galloping the horse forward.

There were continuous cold arrows behind him, swishing past Xiao Mingyuan, and the guards beside him fell down one after another.

He seized the right moment, let go of the reins, sat firmly on the horseback, turned around and drew his arrow and bow, and shot directly at the soldiers who were shooting arrows on the tower of Liangzhou City.

The cold arrow around him disappeared.

Yan Ning and Wei Xu heaved a sigh of relief at the same time.

Xiao Mingyuan patted Yan Ning's horse with his long bow: "You go first, they will catch up immediately, please open the gate of Xiyuan City..." He paused: "Ruan Jiu's face should be easy to use .”

Yan Ning responded, and just as he was about to ride his horse forward, he heard a bang.

He raised his head: "My lord, the city gate is open."

Xiao Mingyuan raised his hand and waved his whip: "Let's go."

And Old General Pale stood on the tower: "Since you are the queen's friend, please come in first."

With less than a hundred people, it is impossible to make a mess.

After Xiao Mingyuan's people had entered Xiyuan City, the gate of Xiyuan City was closed.

Liang Guo sent people to negotiate and shouted: "The person we are hunting down is the traitor Xiao Mingyuan. This is Liang's internal affairs. Please don't interfere!"

Old General Pale was full of anger: "This is a friend of our queen, who came to visit our queen! If there is anything, let your emperor write a note and tell the queen!"

"This is the Kingdom of Liang..."

"roll!"

Liangzhou City and Xiyuan City have been facing each other for many years, and the soldiers on the border have feelings for each other.The person who shouted on the side of Liang State was sent by the King of England. He wanted to speak again, but before he could speak, he was dragged down by the soldiers guarding the border in Liangzhou.

"Sorry to bother you!"

Only then did Old General Pale ease his expression: "It doesn't matter, there is something to be resolved by the superiors."

People and horses on both sides went down from the tower, and at the gate of Xiyuan City, Xiao Mingyuan rolled over from his horse, managed to stand still, and saluted Pale: "Thank you, I..."

Pale glanced at him up and down, seeing that he was in a panic, he didn't want to listen to him, so he said, "I'll send someone to send a message to the queen."

"Ruan Jiu is in Shangjing now?"

"In Beiting, the queen received the news that she was going to rescue you, but something happened on the way, so she was delayed in Beiting."

Xiao Mingyuan wiped his face, his face was covered with coagulated blood and dust, his whole body looked dirty.

He thought about the distance between Beiting and Xiyuan, and finally said: "I'll go find him."

Xiao Mingyuan and his party only rested in Xiyuan for a while, and set off for Beiting that afternoon.

Beiting only received the news one step earlier.

At that time, Ruan Jiu was still leaning on the bed with his pillow in his arms, and vomited out all the rice porridge he ate at noon.

He Lianzhu didn't avoid him, so he asked the envoy to report outside the door.

When Ruan Jiu heard about this, he cheered up immediately.

He Lianzhu patted his back for him, and analyzed: "The King of England didn't lie to you completely, he did rebel, Xiao Mingyuan did escape, and he also set up an ambush in Liangzhou."

In other words, the King of England made two-handed preparations.On the side of Liang Guo, Xiao Mingyuan was driven to death; on the side of Jiwu, Ruan Jiu was made to recognize the end of Xizuo, and he was divorced from He Lianzhu, so that Jiwu gave up the idea of ​​intervening in this matter.

In this way, internal and external troubles are completely cut off, and he can be guaranteed safe from enthronement.

However, King Ying may not have expected that Ruan Jiu could arrange a team to take care of Xiao Mingyuan in just a few days.And Xiao Mingyuan actually escaped from Liangzhou City.

Ruan Jiu held He Lianzhu's hand, and took a sip of water to rinse his mouth.

He rubbed his head and asked, "Aren't they hurt?"

The messenger outside replied: "If you go back to the queen, the guests are all safe and sound, but suffered some minor injuries."

Ruan Jiu asked again: "When are they coming?"

"Several guests have already set off and will arrive in about evening."

Ruan Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, but he couldn't help worrying about his family members. They were all in Yong'an. Although his father said that he had already arranged everything and the whole family would go to sea when he went back last time, it was completely unreasonable for the matter to be so urgent. It may be too late.

I have to wait for Xiao Mingyuan and the others to come over before asking them.

If the situation in Yong'an is really bad, even for the sake of his family, he has to go back.

At this moment, he caught a glimpse of He Lianzhu from the corner of his eye, and thought of something else.

This time Xiao Mingyuan and the others came here because of such a major event, he only had two options.

One is to come to Jiwu to borrow soldiers and return to Yong'an; the other is to stay in Jiwu for life.

If Xiao Mingyuan and the others are willing to stay in Jiwu, then he can definitely protect them.But Xiao Mingyuan's temper, he is definitely not willing, he would rather go back alone and assassinate King Ying.

If he wants to borrow soldiers, he doesn't want to be the same this time. He can use Kaka's soldiers to save face.

This time the soldiers are going to Liang Guo.

Ruan Jiu didn't know what He Lianzhu was thinking.

He looked at He Lianzhu's cold and hard jaw line, and suddenly felt a little guilty. He is careful now. Even if he was Queen Jiwu in the past, he was also the concubine princess of Liang Guo, and there was absolutely no reason to call Jiwu to send troops casually.

Fighting means killing people and spending money and energy.

Jiwu finally got better, He Lianzhu was definitely not willing to take the risk of Jiwu.

Ruan Jiu was sick and listless, hugging the pillow, staring at Helian Zhu in a daze.

He Lianzhu had already noticed that he was looking at him, and when he turned his head to look back, Ruan Jiu lowered his head again.

He couldn't speak.

But He Lianzhu thought the same way, if Ruan Jiu spoke, he would mobilize troops.

But Ruan Jiu just avoided his gaze and didn't speak.

He Lianzhu patted him on the back: "Do you still want to vomit?"

Ruan Jiu shook his head.

It was already night when Xiao Mingyuan and his party arrived at Beiting.

As the dusk fell, Ruan Jiu felt better in the afternoon, and he didn't spit out his food anymore.

He stood at the gate of the city, waiting for his friends to come.

He Lianzhu stood with him, and the clothes on Ruan Jiu belonged to He Lianzhu.

I don't know how long it took, and the night wind became colder, and there was a horse neighing in the distance.

Ruan Jiu raised his head, even his eyes lit up.

Afterwards, the time became slower, and Ruan Jiu waited for a long time before finally seeing the figure not far away shrouded in the night.

Three or five steps away, a group of people got off their horses. Ruan Jiu looked at his friends, all of them were in a state of distress, their clothes were tattered, their faces and bodies were covered with wounds, and they were dusty again. , can't tell who's who.

There was even a man with a broken hand, held in place by a crude branch, and walked with a limp, apparently from a broken leg.

Ruan Jiu looked at them, lowered his eyes, trying to suppress the water in his eyes.In the end, she couldn't hold it back, and ran forward quickly, and hugged Yan Ning, crying with a "wow".

It was clear that the three of them looked the worst, but it was Ruan Jiu who cried the worst, out of breath, and tears almost washed the dust off their faces.

Several people hurriedly comforted him.

"Hey, it's okay, aren't you still alive?"

"Don't cry, how old are you?"

In the end, these people couldn't coax them, Ruan Jiu hugged Yan Ning tightly, crying all the time, unable to speak clearly.

Xiao Mingyuan gave a "tsk" impatiently, and turned to see Helian Zhu.

He Lianzhu stood in the shadow of the city wall, looking sullen and unfriendly.

Almost at the same moment, the three friends exchanged a look.

——Did Ruan Jiu be bullied by He Lianzhu?
