Chapter Thirty-Six Unforgettable Old Love
Lanzhu wanted to go in, but at this moment, a familiar voice came from the secret: "Lan'er!"
Lanzhu trembled all over. In her memory, this affectionate call could only be heard from him besides her parents.
Turning around, I saw a handsome and elegant man, wearing a gray robe with flying skirts, coming in the moonlight.
The left half of his face, from the cheekbone to the forehead, was covered by a silver mask, completely covering his left eye. Even so, it could not conceal the charming charm exuded by his facial features.
"General!" Lan Zhu shouted with lowered eyes.
Shangguan Rui had a smile on his face. If ordinary people saw him, they would be confused by his celestial appearance, but Lan Zhu knew how terrifying the devil in his heart was.
"Lan'er, it's really you!" Shangguan Rui said with a faint smile.
Lan Zhu raised her eyes and saw a hint of surprise flashing in Shangguan Rui's eyes. When would he show any emotion for her?
"Are your eyes... okay?" Lan Zhu asked with concern. Last time in the palace, his eyes were shot blind by Bei Qing's hidden weapon. It's been so long and he doesn't know if he has recovered.
"It's healed a long time ago, it's just that I'm blind." Shangguan Rui replied casually, looked at the shop again, then stretched out his hand, took Lan Zhu's arm, and said: "It's not convenient to talk here, let's change places." After that,
, he pulled her and jumped up together, and soon moved to a quiet place.
The two of them stood beside the small bridge and flowing water under the moonlight. The tranquility around them made the gravel path seem peaceful and long-lasting. The light of the lake on the roadside just reflected on Lanzhu's smooth face. Shangguan Rui looked at Lanzhu in a daze.
Zhu's charming face pulled her arm, but she forgot to take it back.
Lan Zhu moved her arm and kindly reminded: "General!"
Shangguan Rui reacted, retracted his hand in embarrassment, and said with concern: "You seem to have lost weight."
Lan Zhu's heart trembled, would he still care about her body? In the past, she might have been happy for a long time because of this sentence, but now, she knew what it meant.
"The general didn't appear there by chance just now, did he?" Lan Zhu asked with a mocking smile.
Shangguan Rui didn't hide anything either. "Concubine Wan came down the mountain three nights in a row. Yu'er is so smart, she will definitely send you to inquire."
"So you deliberately waited for me here?" Lan Zhu chuckled.
"Yes!" Shangguan Rui said it with a shortened word, firmly and forcefully, not shying away from his motives.
Lanzhu turned away, unwilling to face him. "I told you a long time ago that I won't do anything for you anymore."
"Lan'er, you misunderstood what I meant." Shangguan Rui explained, looking like he had been misunderstood. Then Lan Zhu looked at him again. Her angelic face revealed a sincerity that was irresistible after just one glance.
sight.
Can she trust him? The Shangguan Rui she knew would only cast his aloft gaze on her humble body when he needed her.
"Then what do you mean..." She couldn't help but ask, wanting to hear what he had to say.
"Concubine Wan may want to use the name of temple repairs to secretly place people among the farmers and workers during the repairs and infiltrate the temple."
Lan Zhu felt anxious and asked urgently: "What is Concubine Wan planning to do?"
"As far as I know, she secretly asked someone to buy a large amount of kerosene and planned to use the arranged manpower to bring it into the temple." Shangguan Rui told Lanzhu everything he knew.
Lan Zhu was even more shocked, and she roughly understood what Shangguan Rui meant. "You mean, Concubine Wan is going to burn down the temple?"
Shangguan Rui's face was condensed and he said sternly: "I'm afraid, he wants to deal with Yu'er."
"Concubine Wan is too courageous." Lan Zhu couldn't help but sigh. Concubine Wan was so bold that she wanted to set fire to the princess? After thinking about it, this matter has no evidence for the time being. It is only based on his words, and
, he wanted to kill the princess back then, how could he be so kind and remind her that the princess was in danger?
She looked at Shangguan Rui with suspicious eyes. Shangguan Rui seemed to understand her suspicion and said helplessly: "Lan'er, you have been with Yu'er for a long time. Have you forgotten me as a general in your heart?"
Lan Zhu lowered her head and said, "Lan'er doesn't dare!"
Shangguan Rui looked at her and sighed: "In the beginning, Yu'er was bullied in the Daxing harem. I arranged for you to be by Yu'er's side to take care of her. In the past, you followed me in everything, but now, even what I said
Every word you say is full of doubts. If you don’t believe me, you can ask around to see if the temple will be renovated in the near future, and then think about whether what I said is alarmist."
Seeing Shangguan Rui's sad look, Lanzhu's hard-guarded heart gradually collapsed. She remembered her past girlhood. At that time, Shangguan Rui was the dream in the hearts of all girls in the Yuan Dynasty. If it weren't for his ambition that was gradually exposed, she would be destroyed.
The beautiful image in her mind, maybe she will still follow him like before, calling him "General, General..."
"I will find out more about this matter." Lan Zhu became cold again, because she remembered his ruthlessness and cruelty when he pointed the sword directly at Su Qiyu. He was no longer the Shangguan Rui she knew.
Then, she wanted to go up the mountain early because Su Qiyu was still waiting for news from her.
"Lan'er, wait." Shangguan Rui suddenly stopped her.
He anxiously grabbed her arm. Lan Zhu's heart trembled. She looked back at his hand. The temperature of her palm came through her clothes. It was so warm. It was hard to imagine that his violent side would be reflected in such a statue.
On the image of the God that people look up to.
"Is there anything else?" She couldn't bear to be too cruel to him, because she still thought about those beautiful longings in the past.
Shangguan Rui hesitated for a moment, as if thinking, and after some careful consideration, he finally said: "Actually, your mother is still alive!"
"What?" Lanzhu yelled, which was enough to prove how incredible she was when she heard the news.
Mother, are you still alive?
Her eyes were filled with tears, remembering the moment when her mother stabbed herself in the abdomen with a sword when the Yuan Dynasty fell, in order to follow her father. The grief she faced was far greater than the destruction of the country's overthrow.
There was a sea of fire all around. She watched with her own eyes after her mother committed suicide. The tall beams fell down and submerged her mother's body into the sea of fire. No one outside could get in. She could only hear the tearing screams. She called heartbrokenly, whether she could be summoned or not.
A response from my mother.
Her father was originally a general under Shangguan Rui. She was the daughter of a general. Overnight, her country was destroyed and her family feuded, and all her innocence and purity were annihilated. So when Shangguan Rui asked her to enter the palace with Su Qiyu, she didn't give a damn.
She hesitated, only hoping that one day she could complete Shangguan Rui's mission and avenge her parents, but time could change everything. Su Qiyu's influence on her had already made her let go of her inner resentment and purify her state of mind. She just wanted to
Follow Su Qiyu peacefully, staying away from all the grudges and grudges.
