Alu hesitated and said: "I think...you seem to be different from before?"
Xiao Yuehuai was slightly startled, then laughed and said, "Really?"
She saw the timidity in Alu's eyes, silently lowered her eyes, suppressed the bitterness in her heart, and calmed down.
"but..."
A Lu changed the subject and said, "Although I am a little scared to see you like this, I am more... happy."
Xiao Yuehuai raised her eyes and looked at her, a little confused: "Happy?"
A Lu said solemnly: "Princess is willing to think about these things, just to protect herself."
"The situation in the Jinling Dynasty is complex, the officialdom is changing rapidly, and the Su family is in the center of the whirlpool. Princess, you have become the wife of the Su family. If you continue to ignore political affairs as before, you will inevitably be hurt. I was extremely worried that if you follow the princess's previous temperament , how can we lay a foundation in the Su family, and how can we face the disasters that are coming to the Su family?"
"Now... this slave is completely at ease."
The familiar words were imprinted in her heart word for word, making Xiao Yue pregnant with mixed feelings.
In her previous life, after she married into Lu Zhai, A Lu had said similar words. He was always worried about her and advised her to secretly contact a reliable family to build a barrier for herself.
It's a pity that at that time, she was already in a trap, tightly controlled by the Lu family and his son. She no longer had any contact with her close friends in the past, and her life was in a haze, without the ability to resist.
Unknowingly, she clenched her fists, took a deep breath and said, "Alu, I don't want to hide it from you - I'm already tempted to seize power."
Alu was stunned for a moment. She was a little surprised but felt that it was reasonable. After calming down for a moment, she accepted it naturally. She bent down and bowed, and said respectfully: "If the princess wants to seek government, I am willing to be a brick on this difficult and dangerous road." stone."
She expressed her feelings directly.
Xiao Yuehuai's eyes were moist and she asked in a low voice: "Why don't you ask me?"
Alu: "The princess was born in the palace and was favored and loved by her Majesty and the Queen. However, when she encountered the situation where the Qin family was falsely accused and Miss Qin was imprisoned, she was anxious for several nights and escaped privately by robbing the prison. The suspect gave the Qin family a chance of survival. After marrying into the Su family, everything was unsatisfactory. He was obviously rich, but he had to condescend and be humble. "
"It can be seen that if there is no power in the hands, even a princess who is loved by thousands of people will have to live in the back house and watch the flowers fall in vain."
"I have followed you since I was a child. I am used to seeing you being carefree and unrestrained. I cannot bear to see you suffer any injustice. Now that the princess wants to fight for herself, I agree with you with both hands and feet. How can I ask more questions?"
Xiao Yuehuai's eyes were red, she got up from the couch, stumbled to Alu's side in two steps, took her into her arms, and sobbed: "Good Alu... God has been so kind to me, so he allowed you to come to me. "
The sight of Alu's body in her previous life being roughly carried out of the tent by the soldiers appeared in front of her eyes. Tears fell down like broken beads, and soon soaked the cloth on Alu's shoulders.
"Princess...Princess?"
Alu was hugged tightly by her and stood there blankly, listening to the sobs and feeling helpless.
After a long time, Alu reached out and hugged her as well, patting her back gently with his palm, comforting her silently.
The cold wind blows in the autumn night, and the dead leaves fall to the ground, but the room is very warm...
Time flies.
Early dew frost hit the tips of the red maple leaves, breaking through the fog and falling into the mud. A faint ray of sunlight greeted the forest that was slightly clear. There was a sound of rapid breathing from the path to the east, and three figures hurried to the steep path on the edge of the cliff. They were dressed in coarse linen clothes, and all had their faces covered with silk scarves.
"Miss Lu, come this way!"
The man following at the end urged him urgently. The young lady who was leading the way turned around and gave the middle-aged man behind her a hand, and lowered her voice and said, "Dad! Watch your step!"
The three of them touched the cliff, stepped on the foot-wide path, and carefully moved down the mountain.
Not a moment later, there was the sound of officers and soldiers chasing after them.
Xun Chong held his breath and silenced the Lu family and his daughter.
"There is no one here! Report to Lu Sanlang, do you want to chase him down the mountain?"
"Here!"
After the soldiers and guards walked away, Xun Chong dared to breathe. He turned around and whispered to the Lu family and his daughter: "It seems that Lu Pingsheng won't give up until he sees your bodies. You two, we need to hurry up before we can escape with you." King Xuan will meet."
Miss Lu nodded and said, "Okay! General, please lead the way!"
Without saying a word, Xun Chong held one hand on the cliff, stood on tiptoe on the protruding stones on the steep road, swung around in the air, flew to Lu's right side, and stood at the front in the blink of an eye.
He quickly rushed down the mountain to clear the way for the father and daughter.
This steep path leads directly to the mountain pass and is the shortest way. When the three of them reached the end, the path in the forest was peaceful. They thought they were about to succeed, but the sound of footsteps could be heard on the quiet stone steps.
Lu Pingsheng led the officers and soldiers to chase after him!
Xun Chong was shocked. He didn't expect Lu Sanlang to be so fast, so he quickly took the Lu family and his daughter and ran into the jungle to escape.
I just heard the cold words coming out of the man's mouth: "Your Majesty said, if the thief resists, he will be killed without mercy!"
Through the gap between the shrubs, Xun Chong saw Lu Sanlang raising his sleeves. Before he could react, bows and arrows were fired from the opposite side. Cold arrows flew like rain, shooting at the defenseless Lu family and his daughter. Xun Chong didn't care about hiding himself and stood in front of them. He drew out the sharp knife from his waist and chopped off the feather arrows, shouting: "Quickly! I'll cut off the queen!"
Seeing that the situation could not be delayed, Mrs. Lu took her father and fled decisively.
Unexpectedly, Lu Pingsheng had already set up an ambush at the foot of the mountain, and when they were about to see King Xuan's carriage, he gave them a fatal blow. The besieging soldiers, their long swords as fast as lightning, aimed at Miss Lu's back and stabbed her accurately.
Upon seeing this, Father Lu rushed forward without hesitation and hugged his daughter from behind. The sword passed through the chest and hit the vital point. Father Lu vomited a mouthful of blood, twitched and fell to the ground.
The blood stained the girl's neck red, splashed all over her face, and even the silk scarf covering her face was stained with blood.
She turned her head in horror and shouted: "Dad!!"
Xun Chong was trapped in the bushes and could not go to rescue him. He watched this scene happen. In an instant, he went crazy and slashed with his knife. He broke through the obstacles and ran towards the helpless little lady, saving him at the critical moment. Got her.
The girl had lost her soul, tears and blood stains fell down. Father Lu, who was holding the body still warm, refused to let go.
Xun Chong fought his way out with one man's power, and said sadly: "Little lady! Come with me quickly! Don't let my uncle's sacrifice be in vain!"
The girl grabbed the lapel of her father's clothes and pulled off the jade pendant from his waist. With tears in her eyes, she looked at the young man with clean clothes on the hillside in the distance, standing with his hands behind his back, her eyes full of resentment and hatred.
The two people's eyes met for an instant, and after the collision, they returned to their original position.
The girl left decisively, jumped down the last short slope in the mountain, and disappeared. When Xun Chong saw this, he followed the young lady and fell to the bottom of the slope. The officers and soldiers hurriedly took a detour to pursue him, and when they reached the bottom of the slope, they saw only a pool of blood.
Lu Pingsheng came over and saw that two of them had escaped. He couldn't help tightening his palms and his eyes became more sinister.
