The sky was overcast and the rain was pouring down, making his clothes and eyelashes wet.
At that moment, Li Luansong felt that the sky above his head became darker.
"Yuanyu? What...when did you get up?"
He heard that his voice was hoarse and his hands and feet instantly became cold.
"Good morning, Your Highness." Shen Que smiled at him nonchalantly, "Are you getting up so early to practice?"
Li Luansong was stunned for a moment. Didn't she see it?
"Well, get up and practice."
He waved his arms as he spoke, forced a smile, but felt something was wrong in his heart, and asked, "How long have you been standing there?"
"I just came here and saw His Highness."
Shen Que stretched and yawned again, using his movements to hide the dark blue under his eyes.
"What...did you see?"
Still worried, he asked.
"No, what did His Highness think I saw?" Shen Que asked, staring at him, wanting to see how he planned to explain.
"Oh, no, it's nothing." Li Luansong lowered his head and breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know whether he wanted her to see it more or not.
"Your Highness..." Shen Que really wanted to ask him, but she held it back. She still wanted him to tell her about this kind of thing, so he changed his mind and said, "Keep practicing. It happens that I am also learning."
Li Luansong nodded, walked to the corridor and really started practicing.
But her thoughts did not stop, and her mind kept wondering whether she had seen Naren just now.
Last night, he asked someone to deliver a message to Muso Naren, but to his surprise, she came directly.
That's okay, he deliberately made it mysterious, I believe Shen Que should be able to see it.
Musuo Naren had already guessed the secret between them. Before the last separation, Musuo Naren asked to talk to him alone and told him that it was a poison.
She said: "My brother actually guessed it, I just came to confirm it. In fact, you two have already exposed the secret."
"I discovered it when we were in Confused Valley. I went to help you. Normally you wouldn't let me touch you, but she didn't refuse. Moreover,
When I pestered her, other women would have been jealous, but you, Your Highness, Prince Jin, were not. This is not in line with a woman's mentality. "
She knew some poisons, so Li Luansong was not surprised that she could tell.
"My brother also said that you two behave very strangely. Now it seems that you are not familiar with each other's habits. Although you are a woman, your movements and expressions are like a man, and she is just the opposite. You two The pretense is too different."
This is what Naren said to him that day. She also said, "You two joined forces to make me angry, but I won't. Li Luansong, you will come to me again."
Although she didn't have a cure for the poison, she could find a way to resolve it.
Last night, Naren forced him to make an immediate decision. She said:
"I like you, you know this. Now the initiative is in my hands. You two can't be together in this life, so you must be with me."
Li Luansong didn't want to get entangled with her on this issue, so he said: "What use do you want from me? I'm either a woman or a dead person."
Naren said no, "I will kill your current body, that is, kill Shen Que's body, let your soul leave, and then let my brother lead troops to break in, so that you can return to yourself, and her body has already If you die, you will just be a lonely ghost."
Li Luansong was naturally unwilling, so Naren drew her sword and forced him, "You have the final say. I can kill you now."
Li Luansong said yes, "Kill me and see if she will agree to go with you. You can just let your brother lead the troops to break in. Then we will see if there is no one to respond. Will you all be annihilated?" .”
Naren stopped talking. He was right. If his brother really broke in, if the Iron Armored Army and the Shuofang Army jointly fought against the enemy, they would definitely be defeated miserably, and the entire Soto Kingdom might even be ruined.
Li Luansong took the opportunity to pretend to promise her and reached a deal with Mu Suo Naren. Mu Suo Naren could not touch Shen Que, and Li Luansong would personally deliver the body to her the day after.
"At that time, a coffin with a corpse will come out of the palace from the west gate. You just need to send someone to take care of it. For the rest, just wait for my news and don't act rashly."
Musuo Naren immediately threw away the short knife: "I promise you, but I also have a condition."
"After this is done, you must marry me, and I will be your princess. Only in this way can we maintain the diplomatic relations between the two countries."
Li Luansong looked at her and thought that after the matter was completed, there would probably be no more His Highness King Jin in the world, so it would be okay to agree to her, and the two reached a cooperation.
As for how to make Shen Que sad and despair of him, he didn't have to worry at all. With Muso Naren's vengeful character, she would decide to make Shen Que sad, just...
It’s so painful.
The rain was still pouring down outside the corridor, as if there was no end.
Li Luansong was practicing absent-mindedly. He was thinking and paying attention to Shen Que's movements.
She was always lying on the window sill looking at him, lifeless and expressionless, looking so focused, no different from yesterday.
He stopped after finishing a set and looked up at her.
Shen Que asked: "Are you tired? Did you sleep well last night?"
He couldn't tell, "I always dream."
"Why didn't Your Highness open the window and wait for me last night?"
Li Luansong looked at her and said, "I'm too tired, so I'll go to bed first."
He felt that she would still ask more questions, because the candles in his room were obviously on, and she should be able to see the two people like that.
But Shen Que nodded, didn't ask anything, and said with a smile: "Then, Your Highness, go back and take a nap. It's rare to have a leisurely day, so you should rest more."
He was a little happy and a little disappointed. He didn't know what it was like. He nodded and wanted to go back, but he couldn't help but ask: "Yu Yu, don't you have anything to ask me?"
"What do you think I should ask, Your Highness?"
She was still smiling and her eyes were pure and transparent.
Yes, what exactly did he want her to ask, why did Muso Naren come, and would she stay with him all night? How should he answer, and tell her those cruel words directly.
Li Luansong thought for a moment and felt that he couldn't speak out. Just as he was about to go back, he heard Shen Que say:
"Your Highness, don't think too much. No matter what decision you make, I believe in you."
It was truly an embarrassing trust, weighing heavily on his shoulders. Li Luansong nodded silently and disappeared into the corridor.
He really couldn't say those words, so he wrote them to her. As for the rest, he left it to Muso Naren. She was not a kind person anyway.
If you endure it for one more day, you will see the end.
Watching his figure disappear from the corridor, Shen Que slowly sat back on the bed, holding a soft pillow to lean behind him, but there was endless melancholy in his heart.
It was clear that he didn't go to bed so early last night. Someone came to the room. Why did Muso Naren come here in the middle of the night? What did they say? Why didn't he tell the truth? What was he planning to keep from her?
Looking at Mu Suo Naren's cheerful look, could it be that he told her their secret? Why tell her?
The window was open, and the wind mixed with drizzle blew in the window.
A paper kite flew in, a letter from Li Luansong.
Shen Que picked it up and opened it. He drew a small painting for her, including a full moon, a rabbit, a cowherd and a weaver girl. The two separated the world from the sky. The red rope in the middle had been broken and was falling. There is also a line of small words next to it: Love cannot continue because the fate has been broken.
What does this mean? She counted the days and it seemed that it was almost the full moon day, but it was not Chinese Valentine's Day. Why did she write such a farewell when painting such a farewell painting?
What on earth is he planning?
The second piece of paper was opened, it was a letter he wrote to her.
In the letter, he told her: In fact, he was in the room yesterday. He did not fall asleep but met someone, Mu Suo Naren. She was in his room and stayed until this morning.
He has already told Musuo Naren what happened between them. Princess Naren said that her brother can help him. Now Shuofang's army doesn't know when they will come to support him. If it takes too long, he can't afford to wait. , it is better to join forces with the Soto Kingdom to regain power. It is business to not let the old Li family fall into the hands of Zheng Huan. This is his responsibility. He is the eldest son of the emperor, and he has no other choice.
But Muso Naren has a condition, that is, she wants to become his princess.
So, he had no choice now. He couldn't give up the throne, Daye, the people, the hard work of his ancestors and the country for his own feelings and for her.
He said, Shen Que, the person I like is you, but now I can't choose you because you don't have an army or weapons. You can't come over to rescue him or protect his people or his family.
A man is a real man, he chose his family and country and gave up on her, hoping she would understand.
Shen Que burst into tears. What does this mean? She has accompanied him to this point, and now he wants to give up on her?
Does he really think so? Li Luansong, what exactly do you want to do?
Shen Que lay on the bed and cried for a long time. When he looked up again, the sky was getting darker. The gray seemed to be endless, pressing down so thickly that it made people breathless.
There was also a small earring dropped at the end of the letter. It was made up of small and plump turquoise and lapis lazuli connected into a small ring. It was very unique, but at first glance it looked like something exotic.
Is this declaring war on her? Are you afraid that she won't believe it even after writing the letter? Are you adding another piece of evidence?
Shen Que cried for a while, thought for a while, and decided to write him a reply.
She said, I don’t believe what you said. You are not this kind of person. I know that maybe you have some difficulties and we can face them together. You don’t have to be so angry with me...
When Xinfei passed by, it was already very late, and tomorrow was the last day. It was as if he was waiting for death to come, and everything became lifeless, dull and depressing.
When Li Luansong saw the letter, she shed tears of joy and wished she could beat herself to death. The wet and dry marks all over the paper were nothing but her tears.
Li Luansong, Li Luansong, why are you such a bastard?
"You've come this far, and you can't turn back."
The letter was taken away, Li Luansong woke up and saw Mu Suo Naren.
"Why are you here again?"
"I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it, so I'll help you." After saying this, Musuo Naren turned around and went to the opposite side.
