Chapter No.17

Feeling dizzy, but her breathing gradually became smoother, Lian Er slowly opened her eyes, surrounded by cool air.He took a few breaths greedily, knowing that he was still alive.

"You're awake, come drink some water!" A person helped him up from the bed and handed him a teacup.

"Liren?" Lian'er exclaimed.

"You, you are Liu'er, Liu'er, it's you!" The teacup rolled to the ground, and Li Ren looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.

"I..." The person in front of him showed hesitation, and Li Ren hugged him, "I know, you are Liu Er, you are Liu Er, don't hide it from me, don't..." Li Ren was already crying Unable to speak, he always thought that what the emperor brought back was just a stand-in who looked like Liu'er. Seeing him hanging there today, he had already passed out. He couldn't bear it, so he brought him back to his place of residence.

Looking at the face that resembled Liu'er, he couldn't help being suspicious, but he didn't dare to give himself too much hope, because he was afraid that after the hope passed, what he would get would be the pain of endless disappointment.

But as soon as he opened his mouth, he said that he would never be someone else again, and he would never admit it wrong. This was his Liu Er, who had lived with him for ten years, and treated him like a relative. Willow.

"Liu'er, Liu'er, Liu'er..." Li Ren hugged Liu'er, no matter what, he refused to let go, fearing that Liu'er would turn into a gust of wind and be blown away.

"Liren, don't cry. I'm Liu'er, it's Liu'er." Liu'er finally admitted her identity. In fact, pretending to be Lian'er was just to abandon everything in the past and want to start again. How could he bear to hide it in front of others.

He pretended to be confused and wandered around the palace in order to find Li Ren, but because he had no direction, he still couldn't find the remote house where Li Ren lived.

"Liu'er, you're still alive, that's great, that's great, Liu'er, can you forgive Li Ren, forgive..." Li Ren's body trembled, and he fell to his knees suddenly.

"Li Ren, what are you doing?" Liu Er quickly pulled him up and hugged him in her arms.

"Liu'er, I've told the truth, so you won't talk to me anymore." Reluctantly leaning into Liu'er's arms, biting her lips, she made up her mind and told the truth, "Since In the beginning, I was King Yi, um, a pawn arranged by the emperor beside you. He knew your identity a long time ago, and he had nothing to do in the first ten years, except that he was asked occasionally for questioning."

Li Ren didn't dare to raise his head, afraid of seeing Liu'er's injured eyes after being deceived, so he became cruel and continued, "After you met the emperor, I was still by your side, obviously to take care of you, but secretly to Watching you, and later in the palace, the emperor sent me back to you, which is also the reason."

"Finally, in the end, Prime Minister Wu said that he wants you to ascend the throne in three days. I, I..." Li Ren couldn't go on talking anymore. Thinking of the suffering Liu Er had suffered, he wished he could cut himself into pieces. To be alive is to punish myself, to make myself suffer heart-pounding pain every day.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the Xiao family saved my life, I swear to be loyal to the Xiao family, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Li Ren cried and said over and over again.

Liu'er listened, closed her eyes sadly, and finally understood what Xiao Yun said at the beginning, "Don't be too kind to others, anyone may disappoint your kindness to him."

But the appearance of Li Ren weeping in his arms still made him feel very distressed. In fact, what's wrong with Li Ren, it's just being loyal to his oath.

"Li Ren, you are not sorry for me, but for those soldiers who died because of this, they are the most innocent people." Liu Er stroked Li Ren's soft hair gently, "I am sorry for them too, I am sorry I'm sorry for them."

"No, it's all Li Ren's fault, Liu Er, you can't help yourself, don't blame yourself anymore." Li Ren shook his head desperately and said eagerly.

"Then you don't have to blame yourself, you can't help yourself." Liu'er held Li Ren's tear-stained face with both hands, and smiled slightly, "No one will blame you, and you can't help it." Blame yourself, you hear?"

"Liu'er, you don't blame me, have you forgiven me?" Li Ren looked at Liu'er in surprise, his eyes full of anticipation.

Liu'er reached out and nodded his head, "When did I ever blame you? Seeing you cry like this makes me feel bad!"

Seeing that Liu'er was really not angry, Li Ren's tears welled up again, "Liu'er, how can you treat me so well, you should scold me, hit me, say I have no conscience, say I am ungrateful... ..."

Li Ren's words became blurred because Liu'er pinched his face, "Do you still say that, making me angry?" Letting go, Liu'er hugged Li Ren back into her arms again, "Li Ren Man, no matter why you came to me, but I know that the relationship of these ten years is not fake, it was not arranged by King Yi or the Xiao family, you are my Liren, and I am your Liu'er , this love will never change."

"Liu'er!" Li Ren called out choked with sobs, he couldn't speak anymore, just sobbed.

"Oh, I'm crying again. Could it be that Li Ren is made of water? Go wash your face and pour me a cup of tea." Liu'er pushed Li Ren into her arms, Li Ren sobbed twice, and obediently went to fetch water wash your face.

After washing his face, with red and swollen eyes on his clean face, he poured tea for Liu'er, held it in his hand, and fed it to Liu'er.Thanks to Li Ren who rescued Liu'er in a moment of soft-heartedness, otherwise he would have been roasted to death under the sun.

Li Ren also felt lingering fear, if he hadn't happened to pass by today, had just happened to look into the yard, and had just softened his heart to save him, he might really lose Liu'er this time.

"Liu'er, why did you hide your identity and go back to the palace?" Li Ren took out the wound medicine, applied it on Liu'er's swollen face, carefully blowing it on Liu'er's face so that Liu'er would suffer less pain.

"Liu'er is already dead, why don't you start another life, but it still doesn't seem to be what you want!" Liu'er smiled wryly. Last time, she almost died at the hands of the Queen Mother, but this time, she almost died at Xiao Yun's hands. inside.

"Why did you offend the emperor? I heard that he loves that Lian'er in every possible way." Even though he knew that Lian'er was Liu'er, Li Ren still couldn't help feeling wronged for him.

"I dirty that picture, it seems ridiculous, I dirty my own words, and it turned into this." Liu'er laughed blankly.

Li Ren pouted, "What are you laughing at, if you tell the emperor that you are Liu'er, he will definitely not treat you like this."

"I don't want to say it, Li Ren, and you don't want to say it. Liu Er, who was used and hurt by him, is dead. If he loves me, let him fall in love with me now. If he can't, I will give up completely." Liu Er Said a little sadly, at first they were used as pawns, and later they hurt each other, although they didn't mean it, but both of them were scarred.

This time, he decided to use the identity of Lian'er to enter the palace, just to make Xiao Yun fall in love with this self who has no background and no value at all. This is the purest and most beautiful love.

Maybe the time is still short, Xiao Yun still can't get out of the reality of losing Liu'er, survived today's test, and get along for a while later, I don't know if he can be tempted.

The door of the room was kicked open suddenly, Xiao Yun walked in with a face full of anger, "Li Ren, you are so bold, you dare to let go of the person I tied up!"

"Your Majesty, he is Liu'er!" In a hurry, Li Ren forgot Liu'er's instruction just now, and blurted out.

Xiao Yun snorted coldly, "You are also confused by his face, then I will tell you today, he is not Liu'er, Liu'er is dead, no one can replace him, no one!"

Li Ren still wanted to say something, but Liu Er tugged at his clothes behind him. Thinking of Liu Er wanting to abandon the pain of the past and start a new life, Li Ren couldn't bear to expose it, so he could only blush, Swallow the words that are about to be said.

"You come with me!" Xiao Yun glanced at Liu'er sharply, turned and left, Liu'er gave Li Ren a comforting look, got up and followed.

Back in the room where he had been staying all along, Xiao Yun sat on a chair, looked at the person standing in front of him, who was not uttering a word but showed no fear, and shouted angrily, "Kneel down!"

Liu'er knelt down obediently, and her knees hit the ground hard, making a pounding sound that made Xiao Yun feel distressed, and then she was annoyed at her own distress, and kept reminding herself that the one in front of her was not Liu'er, but just a substitute.

Xiao Yun stretched out his hand to pinch Liu'er's chin, forcing him to look up at him, carefully sizing up Liu'er's face like looking at a work of art.

"It's so similar, no wonder even Li Ren is confused by you. I finally understand why the queen mother has the urge to destroy a face." Xiao Yun's sneer made Liu'er feel cold, and wanted to destroy it again. Is this my face, Prime Minister Wu is like this, the former queen is like this, and now even Xiao Yun treats his face like this.

Since it's so unpopular, it doesn't matter if it is destroyed, it's just a waste of those herbs. This face can be restored to its original state, but it took a lot of precious medicines.

"The emperor doesn't like this face, so just destroy it. Lian'er doesn't care about this face." Liu'er was still smiling, but suddenly raised her hand, and her thin nails slid across her face, leaving three Road deep bloodstains.The blood left along the side of the cheeks and stained Xiao Yun's hands.

Xiao Yun looked at Liu'er in disbelief, "No, how could you destroy this face, you can't!" He roared angrily, reaching out to wipe the blood on Liu'er's face, but it wiped more and more, "No! No way." He couldn't help seeing the face exactly like Liu'er being destroyed like this, and he would never see it again.

"Your Majesty, I'm Lian'er, you think I'm Liu'er again." Liu'er reminded Xiao Yun in a low voice, for the pure love in his ideal, it doesn't hurt that this face is ruined, but she just doesn't want to be Xiao Yun misses Liu's childhood shadow.

Xiao Yun stopped his hands suddenly, yes, no matter how similar they are, they are not the same person after all, looking at this face every day, Liu'er will also be unhappy, Liu'er is Liu'er, there can be no substitute.

"Go and apply some medicine, I will send you to Beiliang tomorrow!" Xiao Yun stood up, not wanting to stay here anymore.

Liu'er couldn't help being stunned when she heard the word Beiliang, "Your Majesty, are you going to send me away?"

Without answering, Xiao Yun had already walked out of the room.Liu'er sat on the ground blankly, he didn't want this result, how could Xiao Yun be so cruel, Beiliang, that is the northernmost place of Xun Kingdom, only those who committed serious crimes would be dispatched there.

"Why, you ruined this face, but still can't stay with you? What do you love? Liu'er's soul, or Liu'er's face." Liu'er murmured in her heart, "If the soul, He is still alive in Lian'er's body, why can't you see it, if it's a face, why did you say you want to destroy it."

Liu Er dragged out a guzheng from a corner of the room, it was bored that day, Xiao Yun used it to relieve himself.I only played a few times that day, and ran outside for a stroll, and this guzheng was lying alone in that corner.

After wiping it lightly, Liu'er sat on her knees, looking at every string and thread with a sad expression.Fingers that were still stained with blood, plucked the strings, countless sorrows, beating with the notes, even the air seemed to be infected by the pain, and solidified.

The slender fingers plucked the strings quickly, over and over again, until the blood dripped, Liu'er refused to stop, his soul seemed to drift away with the sound of the piano.

One night, after shedding so much blood, Liu'er did not shed a single tear.This blood was the tears that flowed from his heart, so bright and so painful.

All his love, all his dreams were destroyed along with Xiao Yun's exile of him.If he could stay by Xiao Yun's side, he could bear no matter how much pain he suffered, but Xiao Yun drove him away, so far away that he might never see him again in this lifetime.Now that it's a farewell, let's repay him all the blood and tears of my body. There will be no more arrears, and there will never be Liu'er who is foolishly in love with Xiao Yun, and there will be no Lian'er who yearns for beautiful love. It's all gone.

The thick ink, the slow moonlight, can't resist the strong sadness, despair and poignancy...
