After I broke up with the emperor

"The world is unpredictable, just take care of yourself." Zhou Baoyong said, suddenly raised his head and glanced at the window, "Yaochuan, go and close the window, the wind in Huzhou is too wild."

Seeing that Zhou Baoyong was wearing thin clothes, Lu Jitang quickly got up and closed the window.

"I heard that the wind blows like this in Huzhou all year round. Sir, you should wear an extra layer. It will be colder at night."

Lu Jitang hasn't adapted to the weather in Huzhou until now, people are bothered by the heat in the daytime, and shivering in the cold at night.

"It's okay, just drink some wine to warm up." Zhou Baoyong picked up the wine cup, and Lu Jitang quickly picked up his own wine glass, touched Zhou Baoyong, and took a shallow sip.

His lung disease is still not cured, so he dare not drink too deeply.

Zhou Baoyong didn't mind either, and drank his cup in one gulp.

He stared at Lu Jitang for a while with cloudy eyes, and then spoke suddenly.

"Yaochuan, do you remember that when you were young, I often took you to the Ouyuan Garden."

Lu Jitang nodded: "I remember, I was naughty at the time and always wanted to climb the crabapple tree, so my husband caught me and gave me a lesson, saying that I tore the new clothes."

Having said this, Zhou Baoyong's eyes were stained with a smile.

"There is a reason why you are not allowed to climb. Under that tree, my beloved wife is indeed buried, and it cannot be regarded as a beloved wife. She had not yet entered the family at that time."

It turned out that those rumors were true, Lu Jitang thought of the things he did when he was a child, and felt that they disturbed the peace of his teacher and mother.

"Her childhood sweetheart and I finally waited until she reached the age of marriage, and I immediately came to propose marriage. At that time, I was nothing but had big dreams, and made too many promises to her, but she believed them all. "

"I said that when I am the number one scholar in high school, I will let her be the wife of the number one scholar, and when I have money, I will take her to live in the big courtyard."

"She believes in me. She does some mending during the day, and catches some fish to make fish soup for me at night."

It was the first time Zhou Baoyong talked about his fiancée, Lu Jitang listened and imagined that she must be a gentle and pleasant girl.

She is understanding, clever and cute, which is why my husband missed him for so long.

"But the good times didn't last long. There was a disaster in the village that year, and there was not enough food to eat. The horse thieves on the mountain began to come to the village to grab food. She was good-looking, so the horse thieves snatched her away."

"I was helpless, so I had to ask Lu Suitong, the county magistrate at the time, for help, but he refused to save me. He even colluded with horse thieves and beat my mother to death with sticks. It took me 15 years to climb to a high position. The first The thing is to turn over the old case and behead all of Lu Suitong's family, leaving only a baby in his swaddle."

When Lu Jitang heard this, his whole body was already icy cold, as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into a snow pit.

Seeing his appearance, Zhou Baoyong smiled: "Yaochuan, you are so smart, sometimes I always feel that you should be my child, not the Lu family's child."

Lu Jitang wanted to explain, to defend himself, but he opened his mouth and vomited a mouthful of blood.

Only at this moment did he feel colic in his stomach. He glanced at the wine in his glass and raised his head to look at Zhou Baoyong in disbelief.

"gentlemen?"

As Lu Jitang opened his mouth, another big mouthful of blood gushed out, dyeing his gray clothes dark brown.

Li Yunye's death situation reappeared in front of him, is he the same now as Li Yunye was then?

Gradually, Lu Jitang couldn't support his body and rolled down on the floor. In a daze of consciousness, he saw Zhou Baoyong walking towards him.

"In these years, every year, I have been thinking about how to let you die. I have been thinking about it until now, and finally there is a result."

"...not...not me, me..."

I am not a child of the Lu family, how could I be a child of the Lu family, why would the husband want to kill me, the husband is so kind to me, how could he want to kill me...

Seeing the motionless Lu Jitang, Zhou Baoyong took out a brand new outer robe from his bag and covered him.

"Yaochuan, these are new clothes for this year."

After Zhou Baoyong was far away, a person hurried out of the cubicle. While calling for someone to hurry up to find a doctor, he pushed open the door of Lu Jitang's room.

As soon as he entered the door, he was startled by Lu Jitang's vomited blood, and then hurried forward to check his condition.

"Lu Yaochuan! Lu Yaochuan! Lu Yaochuan, wake up!"

Seeing that the man was no longer breathing, he turned his head down and shouted again: "Where is the doctor! Why isn't the doctor here yet!"

Lu Jitang never thought that it would be Zhou Baoyong who would kill him in the end.

He had a very long dream. In the dream, he was wearing new clothes for the New Year to go to the garden. Zhou Baoyong pointed to the crabapple tree and said that he would respect her and love her, so he knelt down and kowtowed to the crabapple tree.

Later Li Yunjian came to the Emperor's Mansion, and he took Li Yunjian to kowtow together. Li Yunjian asked him why he kowtowed to a tree, and he said he didn't know.

After growing up, Li Yunjian always made mistakes. He wanted to take the punishment for Li Yunjian, but Zhou Baoyong would always tap his palm with a straight face, pretending that he had already beaten him.

When he was older, Zhou Baoyong took various measures for him to successfully participate in the imperial examination, so that he could pass the identity verification of the Ministry of Rites smoothly.

Lu Jitang clearly knew that this was a dream, but why did his heart still hurt like it was cut into pieces?

The clapper used to beat the watch came from far to near, and the sound was disturbing. Lu Jitang opened his eyes vigorously, and what he saw was the white tent roof.

Every time he panted for breath, the heaving of his chest always felt like a needle prick in his heart. Lu Jitang held his breath for a while before he recovered.

Candles were lit in the room, and there was a man lying on his stomach by the table, soundly asleep.

It should be this person who saved himself.

Lu Jitang propped his elbows on the bed and sat up slowly. He accidentally lifted the medicine bowl by the bed and fell to the floor with a loud noise.

"Feel sorry--"

Before Lu Jitang finished speaking, the person lying on the table jumped up.

"Lu Yaochuan! You're awake!"

As he spoke, he jumped to Lu Jitang's side, and before he could speak, he hugged his legs and grinned.

"The feet are numb and the feet are numb..."

Staring at his face, Lu Jitang suddenly felt as if he had passed away.

"His Royal Highness?"

When the numbness in his feet finally disappeared, Wang Yu grinned.

"Don't call me Yu Wang, call me Yu Wang here, isn't that courting death?"

"Why are you in Huzhou? The letter I gave you is—"

King Yu took the words again: "The letter you gave me told me to go south, to the Jiangnan area, but I heard that you were dispatched to Huzhou, so I came to Huzhou, and took my mother to save it for me. I want to start a small business with the money, thinking about when I will redeem you."

Speaking of this, King Yu smiled embarrassedly.

"But you also know that in a small place like Huzhou, it's hard to survive, and you can't make much money, and you haven't saved enough money until now..."

Lu Jitang suddenly cried.

King Yu was frightened, he straightened up suddenly, he seemed to think how could a person like Lu Yaochuan cry.

Lu Jitang wept silently, and Yu Wang did not comfort him.

The author says:

Zhou Baoyong actually had a hard time making a choice, otherwise he wouldn't have kept Lu Jitang for so long, raised the child by himself, and taught him so carefully for so many years, so Zhou Baoyong's feelings for Lu Jitang were mixed love-hate
