Difficulty in deciphering

Zhao Minghe raised his head and let Lu Ruolan turn on her lips. She didn't know why Lin Huiye's shadow flashed in her mind at this moment. She suddenly remembered the scene of Lin Huiye bowing his head and kissing her in the Lingxi Temple. , Eye sockets were wet.

"Minghe... are you crying?" Lu Ruolan stopped when she felt that the fingertips holding Zhao Minghe touched the cold liquid.She looked carefully into Zhao Minghe's eyes, and for the first time saw an emotion similar to sadness, so she comforted her. "Minghe, don't be sad, I am willing to do this for you."

Lu Ruolan's words really had an effect, she saw the sadness in Zhao Minghe's eyes flashed past, and she could not find the trace again.

"Yes, Ruolan, you will be a more useful support than Xiaoqi." Zhao Minghe stood up from the bed, smiled slightly, and she lifted Lu Ruolan's chin and said. "As long as you are willing to help me get rid of Yuan Wei, I will definitely not treat you badly."

In the early morning of the second day, Zhao Minghe sent someone to send Lu Ruolan back to Fenglai City, which was regarded as a favor for Lu Yuanwai.Although Lu Yuanwai didn't want to have anything to do with Zhao Minghe anymore, but when he saw that Lu Ruolan was brought back safely, his hanging heart finally settled down.It's just that Lu Ruolan seemed to have changed his personality after returning home. He no longer asked about Zhao Minghe, but started to care about Yuan Wei.

"Lan'er, why did you become interested in your Uncle Yuanwei?" After chatting, Lu Yuanwai asked with a smile.

"Father is really strange. You don't like your daughter caring about Minghe. Now that you care about Uncle Yuanwei, don't you like it?" Lu Ruolan frowned and said angrily.

"That's not true." Member Lu said. "As long as you stop thinking about that Zhao Minghe, dad will support you in whatever you want to do."

"Then... Next month, why don't you ask Uncle Yuanwei to come over for dinner? Oh, yes, and Yuanyou."

"Very well. It's all up to you."

Now that she knew that Zhao Minghe would break up with Yuan Wei sooner or later, Lu Ruolan didn't dare to show any affection for Zhao Minghe. She was deeply afraid that after Yuan Wei discovered this, she would never be able to help Zhao Minghe again.

Lu Ruolan thought that one day, when Zhao Minghe overthrew Yuan Wei and became the number one general in the Pan Dynasty, he would be happy.Before that... I could bear anything.She always said to herself, doesn't this world have to pay for everything it wants to get?The more you want, the more effort you have to put in.And Zhao Minghe was standing on the pinnacle where she gave her all.

In the next year, Lu Ruolan didn't have much contact with Zhao Minghe. Zhao Minghe would occasionally send her some messages in Feige, but they were all very brief.Lu Ruolan looked at her handwriting and was reluctant to burn it, but she was afraid of revealing something, so she finally put the note on the candle to watch it burn.

"Sometimes... I'm really scared... I'm afraid... I don't have anything at hand... I'm afraid that meeting you... It's just a dream." Lu Ruolan burned another letter, feeling that the room was empty and her body was thin. cold. "Minghe...I can hardly remember your voice...but I still remember your quiet and well-behaved appearance...until today...seeing you make decisive decisions on the battlefield...but I don't feel strange after all..."

"Miss is still waiting for Zhao Minghe." The little maid who was adding clothes to Lu Ruolan came in, and happened to hear Lu Ruolan's sigh, and felt sad. "Everyone in the court has said... This Zhao Minghe is the emperor's number one favored minister, and his relationship with the emperor is extraordinary... and because of that favor, he doesn't pay attention to the court officials at all... these years She killed a lot of people...it's bad from the inside out...Miss, you..."

"Don't talk nonsense!" It's not that Lu Ruolan didn't hear these rumors, but she still didn't believe them.In her eyes, Zhao Minghe is a little cold, but gentle, but he is definitely not such a person. "It's the emperor who likes Ming He... What can Ming He do... How much do you know about Ming He... You say she is so bad..."

"Miss... the maid is just worried about you." The little maid said. "Zhao Minghe is good at making use of the people around him... He is cruel and merciless... I'm afraid she will attack you...No one can stop her..."

"How can she attack me?" Lu Ruolan opened her beautiful eyes and glared at the maid.

"Miss, please calm down... I will tell you, if you don't like it... I will never say anything again." Seeing Lu Ruolan so angry for the first time, the little maid didn't dare to say anything, so she just bowed her head and said.

"No one can talk about today's events. If you talk about it...you will never want to live again." Lu Ruolan closed her eyes and calmed down. "Go down."

"Yes..." After Lu Ruolan said this, the little maid was so frightened that she trembled, she quickly sealed her mouth and retreated in a daze.It's just that she thought, Zhao Minghe is so known to the whole world, who else can she talk to?

At night, Lu Ruolan tossed and turned, unable to sleep well, always feeling that something was about to happen.As a result, as soon as he opened his eyes the next day, he heard about Yuanyou's rebellion.Although she didn't have a deep friendship with Yuanyou, she knew what he was like.That person is straightforward, and his dream since he was a child is to serve the country.Such a person... how could he betray?What is even more shocking is... the person who advised the emperor to arrest the traitor... was actually Zhao Minghe.

"Sure enough...is it you?" Lu Ruolan stood in the courtyard in a daze, feeling her whole body trembling. "You really instigated Yuanyou to rebel...then...you go to capture him..."

He likes you so much...

so kind to you...

You really have the heart to attack him...

what about me?

For the first time, Lu Ruolan felt scared. She felt that Zhao Minghe seemed gentle, but in fact he was as cold as ice.It's not that people who treat her well can walk into her heart. She seems to have abandoned her true self, and together with her mind, she is doing something that violates Changlun.But...what on earth made her become like this?

Thinking of this, Lu Ruolan recalled the first time he saw Zhao Minghe.At that time, she was sitting alone in the corner, wrapped in ragged clothes, without saying a word, her eyes, which were originally bright as the sun, were dull, as if dust had accumulated.At that time...if I had been a little more mature...asked her about her past, wouldn't I...be able to understand her better?It's just that now... the current Zhao Minghe, no one can get close to him, right?She has grown up...Has she turned those accumulations into hatred?

It's just... At that time, she discovered that her self... After all, she was different from Yuanyou.

Lu Ruolan thought.

She should be fundamentally different from Yuanyou.

Zhao Minghe hates Yuanwei, so he doesn't like Yuanyou, but himself...I...much better than Yuanyou...

At least she felt that Zhao Minghe would show pity for the woman.

Half a year later, Zhao Minghe captured Yuanyou and returned to the court. Yuanyou became ill in the prison, and finally committed suicide in the prison, leaving nothing behind.Yuan Wei's General's Mansion was filled with Bai He's wailing in an instant.Lu Ruolan followed Lu Yuanwai to visit his mansion, and saw that the man galloping on the battlefield looked haggard at the moment, and he seemed to have aged a lot overnight.

"Uncle Yuanwei." Lu Ruolan greeted in a low voice.

"Yeah." Seeing Lu Ruolan, Yuan Wei smiled wryly. "It's rare for Lan'er to come to see me specially, but uncle may not be able to take care of you today."

"It doesn't matter, Lan'er just wants to see Uncle. If you're okay, Lan'er can rest assured." Lu Ruolan lowered her eyes and said meekly, but the moment she raised her eyes, she saw the deep hatred in Yuan Wei's eyes.For a moment, Lu Ruolan was startled by him, and when she followed Yuan Wei's gaze, she...saw Zhao Minghe.

That man was wearing a crisp black dress and a simple bun, standing at the gate of Yuanwei's General's Mansion.She seemed to be looking at the scene, with unconcealable joy in the corners of her brows and eyes.

Yes, pleasure.

Lu Ruolan hadn't seen Zhao Minghe like this for a long time, she thought, today's gloomy sky just happened to bring out her beautiful temperament.

"Did you see Lan'er?" Yuan Wei said suddenly when Lu Ruolan was looking at Zhao Minghe in a trance. "It was that beast that killed You'er. We will have a long future with her."

To Lu Ruolan's ears, the words "Tomorrow Fang Chang" sounded like thunder.She trembled faintly, and suddenly felt excited.Why did she, Lu Ruolan, endure so long and not contact Zhao Minghe?Isn't it just for today, isn't it just to protect Zhao Minghe at this time and then...then bring down Yuanwei and live a happy life?

she told herself...

at the moment……

The day you dream about is coming.

"Yes, that bastard, a thousand cuts to pieces is not enough to relieve hatred. She cheated my feelings back then, and now she killed Yuanyou..." Lu Ruolan gritted her teeth and said word by word. "Uncle...you must not spare her."

After saying this, Lu Ruolan looked away and left.

That night, she saw Zhao Minghe.

"Ruolan, how are you doing these days?" Zhao Minghe, still wearing the black attire he wore during the day, quietly appeared outside Lu Ruolan's open window.

Lu Ruolan was taken aback, and hurriedly led her into the house, and closed the window.

"Why are you here? This is Yuan Wei's General's Mansion! He saw it..."

"He's too busy crying in his room right now, so he doesn't have time to come here." Zhao Minghe smiled lightly.

Lu Ruolan saw that Zhao Minghe's eyebrows seemed to be more beautiful and heroic, and his every frown and smile revealed a shadow that made people's heart flutter.just... just...

"But you want to ask me something?" Zhao Minghe saw the worry in Lu Ruolan's heart and asked.

"Minghe...I just want to ask...Yuanyou likes you so much...treats you so well...how could you have the heart to hurt him...and at his funeral..." Laughing...?

Although she has persuaded herself countless times, Lu Ruolan still wants to know what Zhao Minghe is thinking.

"You're afraid." Zhao Minghe didn't evade, looking into Lu Ruolan's eyes and said. "You are afraid, if I treat Yuanyou like this, will I treat you like this?"

"I..." Lu Ruolan blushed when she was told the central matter.

"Since Ruo Lan wants to know, then I'll tell you, because you... because you... are special to me." Zhao Minghe said. "I used to live in a small remote town...Although it is remote...but it is like a paradise. Everyone has their own life...their own relatives...their own friends...and of course there are loved ones."

It was the first time I heard Zhao Minghe talk about the past, Lu Ruolan listened carefully.

"Of course I also have...a father...a mother...a brother...a sister...and friends who are close friends. In fact, I have a dream, that is, when I grow up one day, I will protect everyone with my own strength... Let them live a better life...I love them so much...better than myself..." Zhao Minghe said indifferently, but Lu Ruolan's eyes were moist, because she knew that Zhao Minghe had not achieved what he wanted in the end. The dream will stand in front of me today, at this moment. "But one day...a very sudden day...someone broke into our small town with a large number of people and killed everyone in the city."

Lu Ruolan only felt that Zhao Minghe's voice stopped abruptly, and the whole room was eerily silent.

"He led a large army... wantonly massacred the helpless people in the city... he didn't care if they had family members... had a lover..."

"He killed all your family members, your friends..." At this moment, Lu Ruolan was already in tears.

"And set fire to it." Zhao Minghe said. "The fire was really big...it burned for seven days and seven nights...it didn't go out...I stood in the firepower...and watched everything turn to ashes."

"Stop talking, don't talk about Minghe!!!" Lu Ruolan cried and hugged Zhao Minghe into her arms. "I know...it's a nightmare...a nightmare that I can't get rid of...I don't want you to think about it..."

"Ruolan, I just want to get rid of Yuanwei in my life." Zhao Minghe, who was hugged by Lu Ruolan, had cold eyes. Although she told the truth, she also hid a lot.It's just that these are enough for Lu Ruolan.

"I know...I know..."

"I won't love Yuanyou."

"I know……"

"But you are different from them." Zhao Minghe said. "I...maybe...will love you."

"Did you laugh at Yuanyou's funeral?" Xiao Qi asked, following behind Zhao Minghe.

"What a happy thing, how can I not laugh?" Zhao Minghe walked forward without looking back.

"Minghe, you are just trying to annoy that Yuan Wei." Xiao Qi said. "Yuanyou's death, you actually..."

"Don't excuse Xiaoqi for me." Hearing the petty words, Zhao Minghe said, his voice was suddenly tired, but extremely firm. "I haven't regretted anything I've done,"

Xiao Qi laughed when he heard this, feeling extremely bored in his heart.She opened her mouth and said nothing.

The two of them walked in front of each other in the dark night corridor of the Zhao Mansion. Xiao Qi saw that Zhao Minghe was about to enter the dormitory before opening his mouth.

"In this life, you will never love anyone. But you still lied to her."

"Who said, I love you." Zhao Minghe looked sideways at Xiaoqi and smiled.

"Forget it." Xiao Qi stretched his waist and said.

"I hope that in my next life, I can die a happy life to make up for the mistakes I made in this life." Zhao Minghe's tone was light, but serious.

"Then how many lives will you have to die?" Xiao Qi rolled her eyes and said. "Minghe... You have sacrificed everything in this life. You have harmed them, but you have received the punishment you deserve. I only hope that in the next life, the grievances and grievances will be cleared. You will still be Zhao Minghe, and I will still be Xiaoqi. We can get to know each other. At that time, it is enough for you to be your true self and let me see your smile."

"I'm afraid, I don't deserve an afterlife." After listening to Xiao Qi's words, Zhao Minghe lowered his eyes and said. "I……"

"What did you say to Lu Ruolan just now?" Xiao Qi was afraid that Zhao Minghe would say something cursing himself again, so he hurriedly changed the subject.

"I asked her to accompany Yuan Wei during this period." Zhao Minghe said. "These days must be when Yuanwei is most vulnerable. I want her to stay by his side and ask for his warmth, and wait for him to marry her. As long as we become members of Yuanwei's mansion, we will have enough ability to bring him down."

"His son just died, how can he marry Lu Ruolan?" Xiao Qi asked.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Minghe laughed after hearing this.

"When necessary, Ruo Lan will use any means."

Do whatever it takes.

Lu Ruolan will naturally do it.

Lv Ruolan, who cared for Zhao Minghe wholeheartedly and had sweet dreams, raised her morality to a level that no one could understand. When her father knew that she had climbed onto Yuanwei's couch, he spat blood on the ground in anger.Lu Ruolan hurriedly helped Lu Yuanwai to his feet.

"Father, you said that if Lan'er wants to do something next time, you will definitely support her and never stop her."

"Do you know... that Yuan Wei is as old as your father and me! You fucked his...his...! You... how can you be worthy..." Member Lu was so angry that he couldn't speak, he only hated his daughter for not To live up to expectations and lose the face of the ancestors.

"Father... The general is very good to me... Now he is suffering from heartache... If I can heal his pain... it will be considered a good deed... Isn't it?" Lu Ruolan said softly, as if Caring to the extreme.

"You...you!!!" Looking at Lu Ruolan, Lu Yuanwai seemed to really like that Yuan Wei.He thought... a woman's name is great... since Lan'er has... already... then she can only...!

On the day of Lu Ruolan's marriage, there were a lot of rumors and gossips in Fenglai City, because it was still during Yuanyou's funeral, so the only person who came to pick up Lu Ruolan was a small dark red sedan chair.There is no joy, no hordes of servants, only four bearers and Lu Ruolan's dowry maid.

Zhao Minghe watched from a distance, and she watched the sedan chair slowly drive away from Lu's mansion and her side in the rain.She doesn't know whether the people in the sedan chair are crying or laughing or happy or happy, she only knows that the person who ruined Lu Ruolan's happiness in this life is herself.

"Rulan, if there is an afterlife, I will make you cattle and horses for your servants to eat, okay, forever... don't ask for forgiveness."

She smiled, but her eyes were red.

this life...

You and I stand in the rolling world of mortals.

As if in the depths of a cloud, I don't know where I am.

When will this grievance be resolved.

When the weather is clear, how about going for an outing with you?

——The end of the cloud——
