Scorching

【25】

The world is peaceful.

Time has passed, and it is five years in a flash.

"Mom!" A five-year-old child happily ran to the white figure who was drinking tea not far away.White clothes and black hair are none other than Xia Runei.I saw that the child fell to the ground before he could reach it.Xia Runie smiled helplessly, got up and walked towards the child.

The child didn't cry, but got up directly from the ground, continued to run towards Xia Rune, and then hugged Xia Rune's leg.

"Huo'er." Xia Runie squatted down, took out a silk handkerchief, wiped off the dirt on Leng Huoyuan's face and hands, and said softly while wiping: "Didn't I tell you to be careful? And Ah, I am not your mother, I am a man just like you."

Leng Huoyuan blinked his big eyes, and called out happily: "Mom!"

Xia Runie was helpless, picked up Leng Huoyuan and walked towards the pavilion, saying as he walked, "It's almost Huo'er's birthday again, what gift does Huo'er want this year?"

"Let Huo'er think about it." Leng Huoyuan rested his little head in both hands, pretending to be in deep thought, which made Xia Runie laugh.

"My lord." Xuehen suddenly appeared behind Xia Runei, and said in a low voice, "Recently, Yasukuni has stationed a large number of troops on the northern defense line, and has almost exhausted all of Yasukuni's troops. The general and the prime minister believe that Yasukuni intends to break the agreement."

"Hmm. No need to guess, the emperor of Yasukuni is ambitious, and signing the agreement is just a way to slow down the army." Xia Ru'nei smiled lightly, "Notify the general to send troops to annex Yasukuni immediately, and control the loss and damage of the war to a minimum."

"Yes." Xuehen replied softly, and then left quickly.

"Huo'er, have you made up your mind?" Xia Runie patted Leng Huoyuan's back.

"Okay, okay." Leng Huoyuan hugged Xia Runie's neck, and said happily, "On the night of Huo'er's birthday this year, I want to sleep with my mother!"

"You little brat!" Xia Runie patted Leng Huoyuan's head lightly, and scolded with a smile, "Aside from this, I will give you a big gift this year."

……

Although the overall quality of the Jingguo soldiers is good, they are still far behind the Ye army, and the number is completely inferior to the Ye army.Emperor Yasukuni was impatient and aggressive, and fell into traps many times, but he still did not change his mind.

This war launched by Yasukuni has completely turned into a unilateral massacre, and the Ye army has won an absolute overwhelming victory.

The war did not last long, and the five days were drawing to a close.Emperor Jingguo was killed, and the land merged into the border of Ye State, and the people still lived their previous lives, and Ye State never disturbed them.The Jing army was reorganized and merged into various parts of the Ye army.

The Kingdom of Ye unified the world, and the world was peaceful.This can be regarded as fulfilling one of Leng Zhuo's long-cherished wishes.

In front of the Qinghua Palace, Xia Runei was still dressed in white, squatting in front of the five-year-old Leng Huoyuan who was wearing a dragon robe, and tidying up his clothes: "Huo'er, do you want to be an emperor? The emperor of the world?"

"Why do you want to be an emperor?" Leng Huoyuan looked at Xia Runie in puzzlement.

"Then you can protect the one you love." Xia Runie squeezed Leng Huoyuan's little face, "But it will be very tiring."

"Then can I protect my father, mother, uncle, aunt, and mother?"

"Ah."

Leng Huoyuan pondered for a while, then nodded heavily: "I'm not afraid of being tired."

Xia Runie smiled when she heard Leng Huoyuan's answer, feeling relieved and moved.But he is still young, and he will not understand how tiring it is to be an emperor, but this is the path he must take.Xia Runie got up, took Leng Huoyuan's hand, and walked towards the main hall.

This year, Leng Huoyuan was five years old, and with the assistance of Xia Runie, ascended the throne; Xia Runie was 32 years old, and continued to be regent, assisting Leng Huoyuan.

During Leng Huoyuan's reign, the world became more prosperous, and the history was called "Qianhua Shengshi", and the world called him "Qiandi".But the world didn't know that there was an extremely powerful person behind him.

Time flies, another ten years.

Three years ago, both Si Jun and Ling Feng passed away, and Xia Ru's last relative also left him.Xia Runie went to Shengyue Mountain, but she didn't even see her father for the last time.In fact, this is just a return to the appearance of more than ten years ago.But fortunately, Xia Runie still has the concern of Leng Huoyuan.

"Mother." Leng Huoyuan hopped over without any emperor appearance, seeing Xia Runie watering the flowers, he hugged him from behind.

The 15-year-old Leng Huoyuan is already about the same height as Xia Runie, and is still showing a tendency to continue to grow taller.

Leng Huoyuan rested his chin on Xia Runie's shoulder, enjoying it very much.

"Don't call me 'mother' anymore, okay?" Regarding Leng Huoyuan's address to him, Xia Runie really had a headache. Ever since this little guy could talk, he has been calling him "mother" and reminded him many times. Nor listen. Fifteen years have passed, Xia Ruxie today is not much different from 15 years ago, there is no trace left by the years on his face, as for the changes, there are more smiles, making people want to get closer.Still so beautiful, even women feel ashamed.

"Don't!" Leng Huoyuan let go of Xia Runie, took the water bottle in his hand, began to water the flowers, and then suddenly turned around and said, "Tomorrow is the anniversary of my uncle's death. Do you want...to go together?" Leng Huoyuan's uncle It's Leng Zhuo. As long as he can remember, every year on the anniversary of his uncle's death, he would go to pay homage with his father, queen, mother and concubine. Whenever he wanted to find Xia Ruai, he would be stopped by Qian Hui and Leng Ran. He didn't know why. Qian Hui and Leng Ran also kept silent.

"Me? I won't go, and it's useless for people who have nothing to do with me to go." Xia Runie still smiled and couldn't see anything unusual.But Leng Huoyuan felt that that smile was so sad and sad.

"You still have me, I will accompany you." Leng Huoyuan wrapped Xia Runie in his arms, with a serious expression that gave people the illusion.

The illusion that Leng Zhuo has returned.

Xia Runie quickly returned to normal, left Leng Huoyuan's embrace, lightly patted Leng Huoyuan's shoulder, and said softly: "Huo'er, you must be an emperor loved by the people, you must .” After speaking, he turned and left.

Leng Huoyuan didn't understand why Xia Runie suddenly said such a sentence, wouldn't his future always have his witness?Leng Huoyuan shook his head suspiciously, then continued to water the flowers.

Xia Runei left the Imperial Garden, intending to get rid of Yan Palace.On the way, Xia Runie was thinking about something, but felt bumped by someone.Xia Runie looked back and was stunned.The man was dressed in happy attire, smiled at him, passed Xia Runie and left.Xia Runie grabbed the man in a strange way, and refused to let go with trembling hands.The man turned around, held Xia Runie's face in his hands, kissed his lips lightly, and left quickly.

Xia Runie chased after him in a daze, watching the red figure enter Wuyan Palace.

Xia Runie followed and walked in, the red figure stood by the table, looked at the pair of dolls on the table, smiled softly, and slowly disappeared.Xia Runie watched the man disappear, and finally couldn't help but slumped on the ground, crying bitterly.

You finally came to pick me up...

Ah Zhuo...

It is impossible for anyone to forget you...

I can't forget...

It turned out that Xia Ruyi did not forget, but forcibly erased Leng Zhuo from his memory for 15 years, in order to fulfill Leng Zhuo's long-cherished wish.He unified the world for Leng Zhuo, assisted Leng Huoyuan, and took care of his relatives...but he himself had been in pain for 15 years, suffering in longing for the whole 15 years, and now, finally, longing became sick.

Xia Runei got up from the ground, tidied up her appearance, left the palace, and went to the general's mansion.

Qi Shuhan went to Dark Night Vale and won't be back in the next few days.Xia Runie went straight to Nangong Mo's residence, sat on the steps in front of Nangong Mo's door, and said to himself: "Father, tomorrow is his death day again, time flies so fast, 15 years have passed. Huo'er and the others I have grown up and the country is stable, so I feel relieved. I haven’t seen him once for 15 years. He must be very lonely, so he came to pick me up. Actually, it’s not that I don’t want to see him, but I’m afraid I don’t want to come back after seeing him. Dad, I hid from him for 15 years, and he also waited for me for 15 years.” Xia Runie leaned his head on the stone pillar and said softly, “Dad, my son is leaving, today I’m here to meet you Farewell, don't blame the child."

After finishing speaking, Xia Runie put the saber that Nangong Mo gave him before his death on the door of the room, straightened up, but refused to leave for a long time.This is his second home after leaving home. Nangong Mo teaches him strictly, but at other times he is the image of a loving father. Everything will be fully prepared for him, and he will do everything he can to make him happy.Even though Qi Shuhan lives here now, in Xia Runie's heart, this is just Nangong Mo and his home, it has always been.

It was dusk when Xia Runei left the General's Mansion. He wanted to go to the Weiwen Pavilion to take another look, but he stopped. He owed too many people in the Weiwen Pavilion, and he didn't know how to repay it.Zhuo Yifan and Liu Jingxiu fought hard with him years ago, died together, and survived together.They were all his loved ones, and he was their greatest asset.

Xia Runie's eyes were dimmed, and a girl came in. The girl who is self-willed but straightforward and strong is Yun Wei.She is dancing under the almond tree, her face is full of smiles, and in her eyes is the dusk shadow of the boy in white.

Xia Runie closed her eyes, everything disappeared, and said in a voice that only she could hear: "Goodbye, my loved ones."

late at night.

Xia Runie sat in the dark Wuyan Palace, with his puppet made by Yun Wei and Lengzhuo's puppet in his hands.Xia Runie sat on the bed, stroking the two puppets with both hands, her eyes sparkled in the dark night, like the bright stars in the night sky.

The autumn night is still a bit chilly, after sitting for so long, Xia Runie also felt a bit chilly.At this moment, I felt suddenly falling into a warm embrace, and the familiar breath and temperature came from behind.Xia Runie let her body soften and leaned against her, without turning her head.

Just like that, Xia Runie sat on the bed until dawn.Then he gently placed the doll beside the pillow, got up, and found out the wedding dress he wore when Leng Zhuo passed away 15 years ago.The blood stains on the Xifu have been cleaned, and it has not faded or deformed after being placed for many years.Xia Runie put on the wedding dress carefully, sat in front of the vanity mirror, opened the copper box next to the mirror, there were two colors inside: one was stone blue, and the other was cinnabar.Xia Runei carefully painted the stone blue color on the corners of the eyes and the tips of the eyebrows, and used cinnabar to outline the eyelids above the eyelashes. The long eyelashes are curled upwards, and the cinnabar picks up from the corners of the eyes, forming a beautiful arc.Xia Runie was about to draw her eyebrows again, holding her own with a slightly illusory hand, and drawing in front of the mirror.Xia Ruxie smiled coquettishly, put these things away again, combed the scattered black hair again, and tied it into a bun.

After getting everything ready, Xia Runie stood up, his familiar appearance was just like the charming him on August 19th [-] years ago, people couldn't look away.

At this time, the sky is slightly bright.

Xia Runie didn't let anyone know where he was going today, except for Xuehen, who was always hiding by his side, never leaving him.

"Snow marks." Xia Runei said, "Take care of yourself."

"I will protect the king for the young master." Although Xuehen didn't show up, his deep voice came out.

Xia Runie didn't speak any more, and walked quietly to the Lengzhuo's tomb. The soldiers guarding the tomb opened the tomb under Xia Runie's order.

The tomb of the emperor is different from other royal families, not only in scale, the royal family is buried in a coffin, but under the tomb of the emperors of all dynasties is a secret room, and the corpse of the emperor is placed on the jade bed in it. , and nothing else.

Others can't see, "Leng Zhuo" stands in front of Xia Runei.

Xia Ru Nie followed Leng Zhuo down the steps, Xuehen didn't enter, but knelt outside, this kneeling was kneeling to Leng Zhuo, and also kneeling to Xia Ru Nie.

The secret room is not dark, because the wall is inlaid with night pearls, and the soft light shines down, so that there is no gloomy feeling in the secret room.

Xia Runie wanted to walk to the jade bed, but "Lengzhuo" stopped him, trying to push him out.Xia Runie smiled and held "Lengzhuo"'s hand, smiled softly, and walked over.

Xia Ru Nie walked slowly to the side of the jade bed, looked at the bones in a happy dress, and a bewitching smile bloomed on her lips: "Ah Zhuo, I'm here." Xia Ru Nie lay beside the burning bones, Putting one hand on Bai Gu's, he said happily, "Ah Zhuo, you are really bad, I insist on forgetting you. After drinking your blood, how can I forget you? We are now blood Thicker than water. Everyone is living a good life. Huo'er is better than you now. He must be a much-loved emperor... Over the years, I have lived a very good life. I know that you are very good. Lonely, so..."

"Ah Zhuo, come home with me."

"With you, with me, it belongs to our home."

Xia Runie quietly closed her eyes.

When Leng Huoyuan and others came in, they found that the white bones seemed to be alive, showing a cold look, and the two hugged each other with their fingers clasped tightly.

Leng Huoyuan finally understood the meaning of Xia Ru's evil words. It turned out that his mother could no longer be by his side, and his future was without his witness.

Leng Huoyuan knelt on the ground, looked at the two people on the jade bed, and realized for the first time what parting between life and death was.

Slowly, a gust of wind blows, and a wisp of gray ash rises with the wind, stroking the tears on Leng Huoyuan's face, just like every time Xia Runie caresses his cheek.

Tuliu, in two red clothes, lay quietly on the jade bed.

This never-fading, ever-hot peerless love has been widely circulated in the world, and is known as——

"Burning evil".
