The sky was gloomy outside the window, and candles were lit in the house. The moving light shone on people's cheeks, and their eyes were filled with tears.
Shen Que was reading at his desk, holding the book in his hand but not turning a page for a long time. The tears falling down on the desk in front of him turned into a darker color bit by bit, and finally connected into one piece. His heart was full of grievances and uneasiness.
She knew that what he said was not true, and that he had his own plans, but why didn't he come and ask her? It was in vain that she believed in him so much and waited so eagerly for others to come and discuss it with you, but they had already made up their minds. .
Shen Que feels like an object, not respected and not worthy of a say. Even if it is his own life and future, he has always obeyed the arrangements of others.
Previously, he had been earnestly persuading her to stand up, to fight for her future, not to listen to everyone's words, and not to be arranged to be bullied. But now, he came to her again without saying a word. Everything was arranged.
I raised my head and glanced out the window. I don't know when it started raining again. I don't know if Dad and the others are okay outside or if they are being bullied.
There were footsteps on the stairs. Shen Que hurriedly wiped away his tears, and then wiped the tears off the table. A purple dress floated in front of her eyes, and Mu Suo Naren appeared in front of her holding a candle lamp.
Her eyebrows are deep and strong, and her facial features are large and charming. They are even more dazzling when viewed under the candlelight.
"How did you get in? No one noticed you?" Shen Que asked her.
Musuo Naren put the candle lamp on the desk and said with a smile: "These few soldiers can still block my way. Ever since I was a child, there is nothing I can't do that I want to do."
There was something in her words, her eyes were unkind, and her words were aggressive.
Shen did not care and stood up to help her pour tea. When he turned around, he could feel the eyes staring up and down her body.
"There's no good tea here. Princess, let's just drink it." She put the tea cup on the desk in front of her and sat down opposite her. "I don't know what I'm doing with the princess coming here."
"I know everything about you. Li Luansong told me personally."
Musuo Naren picked up the tea cup and took a sip, with a proud smile on her face.
Shen Zhe remained silent, lowered his eyes and drank tea.
"There is no secret between us. I have liked him since I was a child. I only like him. He is mine."
The little girl spoke quickly, cut open her love and held it in front of her. She said: "You shouldn't rob me, and you can't rob him. If you are wise, let go quickly and let him come back to me."
Shen Que stared at her: "Have you asked him what he meant?"
"That's what he meant." She said, proudly raising her feet and stepping on the footrest underneath her, "Didn't he tell you in his letter that it is impossible for you and him to get together? We are a perfect match. "
"A good match?" Shen Que clicked the word, "A good match and liking are two different things, right?"
Musuo Naren was stunned, obviously understanding what she meant, her face turned red for a moment but she refused to admit defeat and said: "Don't you dare to talk nonsense in front of me, I know you are good at this, but if you like it, What can we do? A good match will last forever, right?"
She obviously grasped Shen Que's key points and said, "I'll call you sister, and I'll speak frankly about some things."
"I know you don't believe what he said in his letter. You think you two have feelings and he was forced to do this, right?"
"Sister, you are wrong. Why don't you believe it? Is it because you don't believe it or because you don't want to believe it and you don't want to face it. In this situation, you can put life and death aside and even die for love, but he is different from you. He can't ignore life and death. Because he is the hope of his parents, the hope of Daye, and the hope of tens of thousands of people."
"There are so many people waiting for him outside the imperial city. He has the throne and the people. He cannot afford to die, let alone die in love. If he dies, so many people will die because of him. You will never understand his current difficulties, but I can understand because we are the same person and have the same status."
Shen did not comment, what she said was right.
If it came to a critical moment, she could risk her life or death, but Li Luansong couldn't.
Seeing Shen Zhen's fingers clasping the table without any objection, Mu Suo Naren became even more proud:
"Your identities are not equal at all. Do you think you can really be together? He is the prince and the future monarch of Daye, and you are just a commoner. What can you bring to him?"
"Aren't you people from the Central Plains the most particular about being well-matched? An ordinary wealthy family wants to marry a woman who can bring benefits to the son and the family, but will a man of his status marry you? Even if he does, do you really have the heart to let him? Wasting this opportunity on you?"
"Look at his father. For various interests, relationships, and involvements, there are so many concubines in the harem. Can you accept these? Can they accept you? But this is his life, and so is my father. That’s it.”
"Sister, you really have to think carefully, can you really bear the heavy burden in the future? The current situation is not unbreakable, but he wants to protect you. What about you, what can you give him? If you still have it in the future, If there are bigger waves, you will only become a burden to him.”
"I know that you, like his mother, have backbone and are unwilling to be a woman clinging to a man. However, your identity has already clung to him. In the current situation, you have become a burden to him and a dodder to cling to him. it took."
"I didn't." Shen Que said angrily, "He never asked for my consent for all this, so how did he know that I couldn't help him? I don't want to, and I won't be someone who clings to anyone. I have my own decision. I also have things to do."
"Very good." Musuo Naren stroked her hands, "I knew you were a man of character."
"But sister, you don't understand men very well. Men are very realistic. They consider not only love, but also family, nation, and country. You see, they will always choose the situation that is best for them, and you , it’s nothing but an eyesore and a distraction in this situation.”
"Even though you don't want to be a burden or a dodder, he has to take care of you, distract you, and compromise for you. It's very embarrassing."
It has to be said that Muso Naren is very sophisticated in killing people and killing people. Every word is not insulting but is like a sharp knife gouging the heart, because those are all facts.
"Let me tell you this." She stood up and straightened her dress, "I can't get rid of the poison on you two, but I know a way to keep one of them alive. To me, this person must be He, Shen Que, I know that you are also a capable person, rich and powerful, right? Have you ever thought about it, if you die, he...
Oh no, it's us. We can take possession of all your family's property. All of this is his and ours. Power and money are always inseparable. We have to do this. If it were you, you would choose this way. . "
Use threats and inducements, and finally use a knife to cut your heart open and chop it into pieces.
Shen Que clutched his chest and lay on the desk. He felt cold all over his body. His chest seemed to be blocked by a big stone. His eyes went black for a while, and his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
"Li Luansong." She shouted at the opposite window with almost all her strength, "You helped me seek justice in the Zhang family, you taught me boxing and kicking, you were so good to me, you took care of me when I was sick, and you risked your life in the hunting grounds. Save me, are these all fake? All of these can be easily discarded without asking me whether I agree or not?"
"Li Luansong, you disappoint me so much..."
There was no answer at the window opposite, he didn't appear.
Shen Que raised his voice again and asked again and again, but he still didn't answer.
Only two figures could be seen reflected in the candlelight. Then the candlelight was extinguished and everything returned to darkness.
Is this the end? It started when he unilaterally said it started, and now it’s over when he announces the end? Then who does she mean, and Shen Que means nothing to him.
The rain rushed towards her face, wetting her front and cheeks, and she could no longer tell whether it was tears or rain.
Three days were long and painful, and the feeling of waiting was really unbearable.
I heard that Zheng Huan had not been idle for the past three days. He went to the imperial palace every day to serve Emperor Xiaochun and give him medicine. This was clearly forced.
The armored troops in the city searched the streets for various reasons and smashed several of Shen Que's shops. They made things difficult for the people and almost bullied Shen Silan, who was brave enough to do what was right. If Lao Qi hadn't arrived in time, the young lady would have suffered a big loss. .
After only three days, his fox tail could no longer hold back.
The people stayed behind closed doors for fear of encountering the Iron Armored Army and causing disaster. The atmosphere in Jin'an fell into unprecedented panic and tension.
He was forcing Shen Que and Li Luansong to give him the answers he wanted.
The heavy rain continued all night again, watering the earth unscrupulously.
At dawn, Shen Que changed his clothes and went to visit Emperor Xiaochun and the Queen first. He didn't know when he would see them again after today. He had to say a few words before they were separated.
The decoction that Zheng Huan gave Emperor Xiaochun could not be avoided for the time being. Shen Que gave the queen a few prescriptions that could be used to cure the disease and asked her to cook it quietly and take it, which could also play a role in slowing down the disease.
Naturally, the emperor and the empress did not understand what she was thinking, so they just told her not to worry about them, and to do whatever they had to do, and not to let Mrs. Shen down. Shen Que nodded in agreement and said goodbye.
The antidote to the poison that Muso Naren mentioned was something she had seen from a traveling doctor when she was traveling with her father. She thought it was interesting and remembered it in her mind. Muso Naren said there was no antidote. Well, maybe it's because she doesn't understand pharmacology.
Shen Que raised his head and looked at the rainwater flowing down the eaves. There was thunder in the darkness above his head. It was another thunderous day. What should come will always come.
After straightening his clothes, Shen Que walked towards Qinzheng Hall.
