After three years of reconciliation, the emperor regretted

Xiao Yiheng only learned of the news later, that his mother actually did as Chu Jingrong wished, and lied about being ill and tricked Yun Yan back from the border.

Now outside the Xuanwu Gate, hundreds of civil and military officials stand in several rows, bowing their heads and bowing to welcome Prince Xiang's victory back.

The figures of soldiers could be vaguely seen in the distance, the most conspicuous of which was Xiao Yunyan who was riding on dark clouds and riding snow.

He is dressed in a firm and persistent manner, and there is still a murderous spirit between his brows. Unlike when he set off three years ago, Xiao Yunyan is now twenty-two, and has already been crowned.

The long hair is tied in a silver crown, restrained and steady, but there are a few strands of white hair on the forehead, which makes people feel unbearable.

Xiao Yiheng stood on the city wall and looked around, but he didn't see Chu Jingrong's figure.

Isn't it Chu Jingrong's idea to cheat people back?Now that Yun Yan is really back, can he resist coming to see each other?

Xiao Yiheng didn't believe it, so he narrowed his eyes slightly, and searched carefully, even the sides and corners of the streets where the common people lived, and finally found Chu Jingrong's figure behind the stone staircase on the city wall.

Chu Jingrong didn't know what was wrong with him, he was thinking day and night, looking forward to Erlang's return, and when he really looked forward to this day, a feeling of timidity arose in his heart.

I am afraid that things are right and people are wrong, that the friendship will not be there, and that the person will turn around and leave after seeing me with a disgusted expression.

Xiao Yunyan's figure gradually became clearer, and the white hair on his head came into view, which made Chu Jingrong's heart ache.

I didn't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me. If it wasn't for his palm, Murong Xun wouldn't be so easy to plant the poison of drunk time on Xiao Yunyan...

Finally, the [-] troops marched in front of Xuanwu Gate, and all the ministers immediately knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty welcomes the triumphant return of the Lord, congratulations on the prosperity of the country and the safety of the people, and the eternal prosperity."

Seeing Xiao Yiheng hurrying down from the city wall, Xiao Yunyan got off his horse and half knelt on the ground.

"My brother is lucky not to disgrace his life, may the holy land last forever and last forever."

"Get up quickly, you've been busy all this way, I've prepared a banquet to welcome you." Xiao Yiheng hurriedly helped him up, waved his hands happily, and drove back to the palace with Xiao Yunyan.

"No, I still have to go see the queen mother first, how is the queen mother?" Xiao Yunyan showed a worried look on his face. He came back this time precisely because he received a letter from Feige that Chu Xiner was ill.

"It's nothing serious, you'll know after going to see it." Xiao Yiheng paused, but he didn't say that all of this was a trap designed by Chu Jingrong to trick him back.

"That's good." Xiao Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Xiao Yiheng across the Xuanwu Gate.

Before leaving, he seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly glanced back, Chu Jingrong, who had just stretched out half of his body, suddenly retracted his body, covered his chest with one hand, and calmed his chaotic heartbeat.

It was only after the great army poured into the imperial city that Chu Jingrong slowly walked up the tower, holding on to the stone pillar with one hand, and staring at Xiao Yunyan's back.

Erlang has just been crowned for two years, he is full of heroism, majestic, riding a tall horse, attracting countless women who have not left the cabinet to stop and look sideways, and the scenery is infinite.

On the other hand, looking back at myself, I am approaching the age, I am no longer elegant, my life is deserted, and I have a big temper, I am afraid that I will become less and less popular.

When you're in love, you always feel like you're not good enough.

Just like Xiao Yunyan in the past, he always felt inferior in front of Chu Jingrong, fearing that he was an ordinary person and would not be worthy of the sun, the moon and the stars.

When Chu Jingrong was thinking wildly, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a simple sedan chair in the army, and Liu Mei frowned instantly.

How could there be a sedan chair among a hundred thousand cavalry?Chu Jingrong stared fixedly, and suddenly saw a jade hand protruding from the window of the sedan chair, a woman with a pretty face and a bit of heroism between her eyebrows poked her head out, looked around and then shrank went back.

Chu Jingrong felt his world spinning for a while, his eyes went dark, and he almost couldn't stand still.

Xiao Yunyan... actually brought that woman back from the frontier?

..........................................

After returning to the palace, she went straight to the Palace of Compassion and Peace. She hadn't seen her for more than three years. The moment Chu Xiner saw Xiao Yunyan, her eyes were wet.

"I will see my mother." Xiao Yunyan, who was half kneeling on the ground, was embraced by Chu Xiner. She stroked the white hair on Xiao Yunyan's forehead with trembling hands. The chin dripped down.

There are only a few words on the letter paper, half of the hair is white, and the life is lost by seven years. Now that I see it with my own eyes, I know how heart-piercing and heartbreaking it is.

"Empress mother, son and minister are not filial." Xiao Yunyan's voice was hoarse, full of guilt.

Since he was a child, he was the most worry-free child, but now that he has grown up, he makes his father, queen and queen worry about him, making it difficult to sleep and eat.

After hearing this, Chu Xiner shook her head desperately, it was not Yan'er's fault, his Yan'er was not at fault.

Deep love does not last long, and wisdom will hurt. Chu Jingrong, even if you regret it, Yan'er's seven-year lifespan will never come back.

Chu Xin'er pulled Xiao Yunyan and said a lot of personal words, but she didn't mention a word to Chu Jingrong. From the bottom of her heart, she felt that Xiao Yunyan was fine now.

No longer clinging to Chu Jingrong, she will not become sick from love, her brows are less sad and more open-minded, her Yaner is finally relaxed, and she is finally living like a man under ten thousand in the Great Zhou Kingdom The above is the Prince Xiang.

It wasn't until Xiao Yiheng sent someone to invite Xiao Yunyan to the celebration banquet that Chu Xiner reluctantly let Xiao Yunyan go.

This celebration banquet was arranged by Chu Jingrong, because he was sure that Xiao Yunyan would definitely come back after receiving the letter, so he prepared a banquet in advance to clean up Erlang.

He arranged his position directly opposite to Xiao Yunyan, and the two desks were tens of feet apart, neither close nor distant, facing each other from a distance.

Chu Jingrong sat in front of the desk, his face seemed calm, but his hands hidden in his sleeves were nervously squeezed together.

"Prince Xiang is here." The father-in-law on duty outside the door raised his voice, and Xiao Yunyan's tall and straight figure appeared at the door of the hall. He was tall and tall, and he stepped across the threshold with his legs raised.

The ministers got up to meet each other, and Chu Jingrong also stood up, but he didn't dare to move forward, he just set his eyes on Xiao Yunyan, watching him laughing at Yan Yan with Hong Ruyan, and bowing his hands to the military officials in return, from the beginning to the end, he didn't look back at himself glance.

Chu Jingrong sat back at the desk, lowered his eyes to cover the loss and disappointment in his eyes.

Until Xiao Yunyan sat across from him, Chu Jingrong raised his head with anticipation, only to find that Xiao Yunyan was looking sideways at Xiao Yiheng in the hall, and still didn't give him half of his attention.

"Since the prince has come, let's start the banquet." Xiao Yiheng waved his hand, and the sound of silk and bamboo sounded in the hall, and a dancer dressed in a long-sleeved dance dress walked to the center of the hall to sing and dance.

For a while, everyone pushed glasses to change glasses, chatted happily, and it was very lively.

Xiao's family is not good at drinking, and they tend to do outrageous things when they are drunk. Naturally, they can't embarrass themselves in front of civil and military officials, which will damage the royal family's face.Therefore, the jugs in front of Xiao Yiheng and Xiao Yunyan were filled with the lightest fruit wine.

Plates of pastries and fruits were brought up one by one, and Chu Jingrong's sharp eyes noticed that Xiao Yunyan would taste a bite of each one. After eating auspicious fruit, plum blossom cake, and lotus leaf soup, only the sweet-scented osmanthus cake and mung bean cake he specially prepared did not touch a single bite. .

The man seemed to want to get rid of everything related to himself and completely expel himself from his life.

Chu Jingrong picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus crisps and took a bite. It was not sweet at all, it was extremely bitter, his eyes were red, he didn't know what to do?

Kong has all-powerful abilities, but he doesn't know how to restore a broken heart.

But at this time, Xiao Yiheng didn't open which pot and lifted which pot: "Yun Yan, the woman you rescued from outside the Great Wall entered the palace with you? I don't know what is the name of this woman, what is her family background?"

Xiao Yunyan replied in a polite manner: "The surname is Liu, the name is Mingmei, and the word means Huan. She is not a woman from an aristocratic family, but a daughter from a Jianghu family. She has a bold personality and does not care about trivial matters. On the contrary, she can have a good conversation with my ministers."

Chu Jingrong pricked up his ears. Hearing this, he unknowingly exerted force on his finger bones, and with a 'bang', he crushed the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in his hand.

Even inquiring about the small characters of other women is clear, it is no longer as simple as meeting by chance and nodding acquaintances.

Xiao Yunyan, it's been three years at the border, and we haven't seen each other for three years. Have you fallen in love with someone else?

Chu Jingrong wanted to ask Xiao Yunyan face to face, is this really the case?But there was no chance to ask right now, Chu Jingrong could only swallow the bitterness back into his stomach, making it difficult for him to breathe.

"Bright? It's a good name. It doesn't matter if you are a daughter of the Jianghu. Our Xiao family is not stubborn. If you really like it, it would be a good thing to be a side concubine in the house."

Chu Jingrong bit her lower lip to death with her white teeth, and her nails dug into her palm. Because of too much force, the nails dug into the flesh, and blood trickled out along the tiger's mouth.

He wished he could tear Xiao Yiheng's mouth, but what made his heart hurt the most was that Xiao Yunyan didn't refuse, just smiled and said nothing.

The tip of the tooth pierced his lower lip, and he tasted the bloody taste in his mouth. Chu Jingrong could no longer suppress the sadness and sorrow in his eyes.

Erlang, I'm sitting opposite you, I'm not deaf, I can hear every word, how can you bear to treat me like this?

At this time, the father-in-law who was waiting outside the palace suddenly ran in, he walked around the pillar and knelt beside Xiao Yunyan, and whispered something in his ear, Xiao Yunyan nodded in agreement after listening.

As a result, Chu Jingrong's originally prepared program was disrupted.

The sound of silk and bamboo suddenly became lingering. The woman Xiao Yunyan brought back from outside the Great Wall was dressed in exotic silk and satin, boldly showing her wrists and ankles, her posture was elegant, and she walked in from the entrance of the palace.

Walking to the center of the main hall, Fu lowered his body and bowed profusely. Even though he was a daughter of the Jianghu, his etiquette and conversation made no mistakes.

"The girl of the people is bright and beautiful. I would like to present a dance. I wish the sage will live forever, and the people will live in peace. I wish the prince invincible and invincible."

He behaves well and can speak. In the hall, the flute is played softly, and the long sleeves are dancing.

Liu Mingmei sometimes raised her wrists and lowered her eyebrows, and sometimes relaxed her hands. She was dressed in red, like a blooming red lotus, her figure was graceful and vigorous.

Walking in the rivers and lakes, she naturally has the kung fu to be close to her. With the sudden turn of the flute, her delicate body spun along with it, waving her jade hands, dozens of red silk ribbons fluttered out, as if there were red waves in the hall, and Liu Mingmei volleyed in the air. Flying above the silk belt, the slender feet are light, and the clothes are fluttering, just like a fairy Lingbo.

After the dance was over, the hall burst into applause, and the sound of surprise and praise was endless. Even Xiao Yunyan showed appreciation and couldn't help applauding.

"Miaozai, Miaozai, she is really an amazing woman." Xiao Yiheng was full of praise.

Liu Mingmei smiled slightly, raised her sleeves, wiped off the fragrant sweat on her forehead, walked to Xiao Yunyan's side in two or three steps, knelt down and sat down, picked up the wine pot beside her with bare hands, nodded slightly, and served the tea.

Putting away the wildness of the daughter of the rivers and lakes, at first glance, she is soft and gentle, and she is not inferior to the ladies who have read poetry and books.

Satisfaction flashed across Xiao Yiheng's eyes, he picked up the wine glass, and drank it down boldly.

If Yunyan can really marry this woman, be treated with tenderness, and be cared for carefully, maybe he can heal that heart full of holes.

Chu Jingrong stared blankly, his heart seemed to be lingering, and the pain of suffocation spread to all four limbs.

He is not blind, he can see, so he did not miss the admiration in Liu Mingmei's eyes.

She is... Erlang's, she is using her tenderness to impress Erlang, waiting for the day when Erlang responds to her...

It turned out that the deep affection he once abandoned was the kindness that no one else could ask for.

"Although you are accompanied by a beautiful woman, you can't be greedy, Yun Yan, there is a family dinner tonight, do you want to bring Mingmei along..."

Xiao Yiheng hadn't finished speaking when he saw Chu Jing suddenly crush the wine glass in his hand, the wine splashed everywhere, and the shattered porcelain pieces stuck into his palm, blood was dripping for a while, but he didn't care.

There was heartbreaking sadness in his eyes, Chu Jingrong stood up abruptly, and in the blink of an eye, his figure approached Xiao Yunyan.

He stretched out his hand, grabbed Liu Mingmei's neck with his blood-stained palm, and lifted her up from the ground little by little.

Liu Mingmei also has martial arts, but Chu Jingrong's figure was strangled by her throat before she could see clearly.

Guigu disciples should not kill innocent people indiscriminately when walking in the world. This is the teaching of the teacher, and Chu Jingrong has always kept it in mind.

But at this moment, he couldn't control himself, the voice in his heart clamored crazily, to kill this foxy girl, so that Erlang would no longer look at others, would have no chance to throw himself into others' arms, and abandon himself.

But Chu Jingrong also knew, what's the use of killing Liu Mingmei?Kill one, there will be another one, Erlang's affection, only the one he used to dismiss, other than that, everyone wants to own, everyone wants to occupy.

Chu Jingrong was about to let go, but at this moment, Xiao Yunyan stood up suddenly, stretched out his arms, and caught Chu Jingrong's slightly slender wrist with his jaws.

Turning his head to look, the man cast his eyes on himself for the first time, and when he opened his mouth, he asked sternly: "Teacher, what are you doing! Let go!"

Liu Mingmei couldn't break free from Chu Jingrong's shackles, she struggled more and more weakly, bloodshot eyes appeared in her eyes, if she continued like this, she might not be able to survive.

A look of blankness flashed across Chu Jingrong's eyes. The former Xiao Yunyan would never order him with such a cold attitude.

There was a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and Chu Jingrong subtly pressed his fingertips against the acupuncture points on Liu Mingmei's neck. He didn't exert any more force with his palms, but when he looked around, the expression on Liu Mingmei's face became more and more painful and distorted.

"Let go!" An eagerness flashed across Xiao Yunyan's eyes, and Xiao Yunyan's grip on Chu Jingrong's wrist gradually tightened, trying to force Chu Jingrong to stop.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, Chu Jingrong couldn't hear anything, his amber eyes looked deeply into Xiao Yunyan's eyes, he could see disappointment, eagerness, and blame in that person's deep eyebrows, but he couldn't see it. The affection and pity that made him miss day and night.

Chu Jingrong suddenly felt so cold that his limbs trembled, his teeth trembled slightly, and his heart was covered with ice, which made him ache from the cold.

There was a sound of intertwined bones, and Chu Jingrong let go of his strength in pain.

Xiao Yunyan's pupils shrank, and he quickly withdrew his hand.

Liu Mingmei fell to the ground, coughing and panting painfully while covering her neck with one hand.

Chu Jingrong looked down at his blue and white swollen wrist, without saying anything, he calmly put his hands back into his sleeves, turned around and walked out of the palace door.

The thin and thin figure walked straight out of the brightly lit hall, despite the boundless darkness outside the hall and the biting cold to engulf him.
