Lian Nanchun ignored everyone's surprise and sigh, and walked out of Zhaoyin Mountain Residence without any purpose, his mind was in chaos.
The cold winter has not completely left, and it is suddenly warm and cold. The surrounding fireworks and willows, green grass paths, everything is like a dream, and you are free and peaceful.
Stepping on the green color of early spring, it still cannot cover the cold and cold feeling in the air.
Lian Nanchun walked forward aimlessly, like a small boat floating alone on the lake. No matter where he went, he could not get rid of the loneliness and loneliness in his heart.
At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was filled with red clouds. And those years that have passed away gradually become blurry and distant in the light and shadow flowing like passing water.
In front of her were green willow trees and a gurgling stream. She walked slowly over, leaning against the weeping willow tree, raising her face and looking blankly at the crimson sky, lost in thought.
There were footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Ling Yun walking over with a solemn expression. Lian Nanchun turned his face and said nothing.
Ling Yun leaned against the tree, back to back with her, without saying a word. The two of them remained silent.
I don't know how long it took, but Lian Nanchun finally couldn't bear the cold war atmosphere and said, "Just say what you have to say."
"I have decided to go to the Ouchi Palace tomorrow to find Li Ruiyun and rescue her." Without any hesitation, Ling Yun went straight to the point.
"You're crazy!" Lian Nanchun couldn't help but breathe. She turned around and stared at him. She suddenly raised her voice, and her voice was sharp and slightly changed, "Ling Yun, you clearly know that you are going to die..."
"So what? Do I have any other choice besides this?"
His calm expression and tone sounded as if he was asking for her opinion, but the firmness and persistence revealed in his calm tone did not allow her to have any doubts.
Lian Nanchun turned around and looked at his calm and indifferent face, as if his heart had been drained, and he didn't speak for a long time. She froze for a long time and then said silently: "Tell me, what made you make up your mind?"
Ling Yun avoided her questioning and accusing gaze and said nothing.
Lian Nanchun sneered and said, "Did that child break through your last line of defense?"
"How did you know?" Ling Yun blurted out, his heart throbbing unconsciously. As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he realized that he was not asking for it.
"Haha, how do you need to know this?" Lian Nanchun bit his lips tightly, his throat trembling like a sob, "I knew that child was your weakness."
"..." Ling Yun sighed lightly and said nothing.
Lian Nanchun looked at him in rapt attention, feeling as if his chest was pressed against a huge boulder. He couldn't break free and his whole body ached. Unconsciously, his face was covered with bitter tears.
"Chun'er..." Ling Yun's voice trembled, "Are you still unable to let go of the past?"
"Who can let go of those things easily? How miserable and painful the situation was at that time - Zhichao, have you forgotten it?" Lian Nanchun's pretty face sank. It was so tragic and bloody at that time The scene came to mind again vividly.
Huanyu "colluded" with people from the Shangshufu of the Ministry of Punishment, and arranged to put Ling Yun under house arrest...Using Ling Yun as bait, she was arrested and imprisoned...She was brutally tortured in the prison, and abused in every possible way...Beheaded Forced on the cliff, Ling Yun was hit by several arrows, forcing her to fall off the cliff...
—— Tears break the sword, how long love is; how painful it is, there are no words to think about...
Lian Nanchun felt that his heart was very blocked and his eye circles were red, "Actually, I have never forgiven her until now - if it weren't for her, Auntie Xuanzhong and Master Pingming would not have died; Li Gang, Jiang Chun, And Miss Lu... so many people will not suffer; you and I will not suffer such pain and spend so many years apart..."
Ling Yun chuckled softly, "Don't persuade others to be kind without going through their suffering. I know that the things she has done to you that are sorry for you and the harm she has done to you are so profound that no one can understand that kind of pain; So Chun'er, I really have no reason to advise you to disregard past grudges and magnanimously let go of everything in the past.
"But I'm different. Back then, she loved me wholeheartedly. Although she once hurt me all over, the cause and result of the matter was that I failed her after all! And speaking of it, this kind of love debt is with me. I have been entangled in my heart for many years and have been unable to let go; now it’s finally time to repay.”
"..." Lian Nanchun looked at him silently, speechless.
Ling Yun stared over, the unspeakable entanglement flashing in his tearful eyes, and said tremblingly: "Now she is in Li Ruiyun's clutches, and her life is worse than death, and she is suffering unspeakably; and you and I should both know Li Ruiyun's despicableness and cruelty. , if I don't save her at this time, what kind of abuse and humiliation she will suffer - Chun'er, I really can't imagine!
"Although we have separated, she and I have had a past after all. After all, she was once my woman, Ling Yun. If I watch her suffer inhuman torture and remain indifferent, then am I still a man?"
Lian Nanchun stared at him with red eyes, "In other words, for her, can you die without hesitation?"
Ling Yun didn't even think about it, and said resolutely: "Yes. Just like the situation now, she is in danger, and I can only save her with my own life, then I will give up my life for her without hesitation!"
He paused and then said: "Of course, if the person in danger is you, so will I!"
"You..." Lian Nanchun was a little moved and didn't know what to say for a moment.
Ling Yun's thick and black eyelashes were clearly defined, and her gentle trembling seemed to bring up the wind, "But Chun'er, although you and her are both people I am willing to give up my life to save, in my heart, you and her But they are completely different. I saved her because I owed her too much and needed compensation; and you, because I really love you..."
"With your words, even if I die right away - it's still worth it..." Lian Nanchun stared at him for a long time, his eyes seemed to have passed through the vicissitudes of time, across thousands of mountains and rivers, and drifted across thousands of feet. Hongchen, having seen through everything in the world, finally became persistent and clear-minded, "Okay, I promise to help you again."
Ling Yun stared at her for a moment, with surprise and emotion in his dark eyes, "You...are you telling the truth?"
Lian Nanchun rolled his eyes, snorted coldly, and said nothing.
The tiny waves of light in Ling Yun's pupils were swirling slightly, "I know you did this all for me, in order not to embarrass me too much; Chun'er, thank you -"
"Why are you still talking nonsense to me?" Lian Nanchun's ups and downs gradually calmed down, "To be fair, I really don't want you to go! But I also know that no matter what I say now, it can't change your decision. Determination."
"Chun'er." Ling Yun clenched his hands hard, trying to suppress the ups and downs in his heart.
Lian Nanchun glanced at him with a bit of reproach, and his bitter voice contained unspeakable helplessness, "Zhichao, you and I have been through ups and downs for so many years, and finally we have reached today. It is really not easy! What if? So if you have any shortcomings - let alone die in vain, it's not worth it! I'm not willing to accept it, and I can't accept it..."
"I'm not willing to let us separate..." An indescribable pain rushed from the bottom of Ling Yun's heart to his throat, "Chun'er, I believe that as long as you support me and help me, I will come back safely. Yes! I swear, I will never let you down again in this life."
The tip of Lian Nanchun's nose was sour, and his eyes were sparkling, "I will, I will definitely do it."...
The sky suddenly became dark, and the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be collapsing, so dark and suffocating that people could not breathe. The rumble of thunder was deafening, and a sharp bolt of lightning pierced the sky. The rain is coming.
Ouchi Imperial Palace. In the imperial study room.
Li Ruiyun was lazily reclining on the chair, concentrating on playing with the crystal clear, ethereal jade-colored finger ring in his hand, with a leisurely expression.
Taoist priest Bai Yu stood aside, with a gloomy face, and a pair of dark eyes that were thoughtful, revealing an unfathomable color that made people unable to figure it out.
At this time, a guard rushed in from outside, his breath seemed a little hurried, "I am reporting to Mr. Li, outside...Ling Yun is here!"
A sudden sentence was like a heavy stone suddenly thrown onto the calm water, quickly stirring up turbulent waves.
"Are you serious?" Li Ruiyun suddenly stood up from his chair and subconsciously said this...
