For a moment, Lu Shiqing felt that she seemed to have caught something in her eyes. But she walked anxiously, and he didn't see clearly. He stood there in a daze for a while and turned his head to take care of Zheng Zhuo.
Zheng Zhuo was depressed for only two days. No matter what he was inside, at least later, no one noticed something was wrong with his officials or political enemies later.
Only Lu Shiqing knew that he acted much more ruthlessly than before. He might have been merciless at that time, but he once said that he would not blink when he met someone he should have killed.
Lu Shiqing knew that he wanted to deal with the Jiang family, or even the saint, but often, he was too hasty and was like a death-demanding talisman, which could urge others to live and himself.
As a result, he gradually had differences with him on government affairs and decision-making.
Fortunately, Yuan Cixian was also there. Although the Yuan family was planning to pretend to be a quarrel with Zheng Zhuo, she did not really stay away from the court. After hearing about several political affairs, she had the same idea as Lu Shiqing. After several times, she took the initiative to contact him and said she wanted to go to the prince's mansion to meet Zheng Zhuo again.
Zheng Zhuo was not blinded by hatred. After he and Yuan Cixian were advised by others, he once again exposed a stump and gradually became conservative when making decisions.
However, after taking the overall situation into consideration, the Jiang family became more reckless. After a month, they panicked and said that Jiang Bican was pregnant.
At this point, there was no way to delay the troops. Zheng Zhuo endured the idea of ​​killing Jiang Bican and married her through the door. Then he set up a courtyard in the mansion and stuffed people in it. He never touched her a hair from beginning to end, and he didn't even care about who the child in her belly was.
The prince's mansion had a mistress. Even if the prince's concubine was neglected, Yuan Cixian could not go there again. So if there was any further discussion, Lu Shiqing arranged for her and Zheng Zhuo to come to Xu's house.
For a while, the three of them seemed to be back to the past, and they met around a stone table to read secret newspapers, read official documents, and draw maps.
But it just seems.
The atmosphere in Xu's house became more and more strange day by day.
If it were not necessary, Zheng Zhuo would hardly take the initiative to talk to Yuan Cixian. It was getting colder. Seeing that she was wearing less clothes, he even asked Lu Shiqing to ask her to wear clothes.
Lu Shiqing asked him why bother.
He said he was shameless. Regardless of whether he planned or not, he would marry him.
Lu Shiqing listened to him and took care of everything about taking care of Yuan Cixian. When it happened to be lunch, he prepared food for her. Occasionally, it was darker and sent her home.
Her preference was because he had collected news for Zheng Zhuo before and remembered it all. However, his concern was based on Zheng Zhuo's instructions, which was organized like arranging government affairs, but it seemed that he did not care about it. Instead, he responded to four words: neither salty nor light.
Yuan Cixian didn't express much emotion about this. She accepted it when he was kind to her. After accepting it, she didn't feel happy or unhappy.
In Lu Shiqing's opinion at that time, her attitude towards him was probably like four words: no pain or itch.
After a stable life, one day after winter, he received a secret report from the Uighurs reminding the Turks of abnormal movements. After analyzing the situation, he suspected that King Ping and the Turks had colluded with each other and were preparing to join forces to attack the court soon.
In the severe situation, he immediately contacted several court officials for urgent consultation.
A few days later, Yuan Cixian and Yuan Yu appeared on behalf of Yuan Yizhi, in the name of drinking, to test the attitudes of several neutral military generals in the capital to see where they would go if the war broke out.
Zheng Zhuo was not suitable for showing up. That night, Lu Shiqing faked his identity and went with them.
It was a little late after the banquet. When Lu Shiqing and his brother and sister left the restaurant, they met a few followers. After adapting to the situation, they used a trick. The two maids beside Yuan Cixian got into a carriage and left first, diverted the spy's sight, and then asked several generals to leave separately.
But after the cover of the most critical generals, they criticized the spies again.
Yuan Cixian means that her brother is more sensitive, so she first covers him, so she arranged a dancer and asked Yuan Yu to come out of the restaurant as if she was looking for fun.
It was not until late at night that she and Lu Shiqing got on the last carriage and returned home.
Lu Shiqing used to say that she was sent home, but she followed another carriage behind her carriage. That night, it was the first time that she was forced to ride with her due to the situation.
In my impression, no one spoke at first. After a while, he heard his opponent Yuan Cixian suddenly ask: "If the war does break out, your Highness must remain in the capital. Will Mr. Lu go to the Uighurs to stabilize the situation?"
She and him are easy to think of together in their strategy. Her statement happened to be his recent consideration, so he nodded and replied: "It should be."
She lowered her eyes slightly and said nothing. After a while, she raised her head and smiled, "If this battle can be won, there will be peace in all directions and there will be no disputes in the world. What do you want to do?"
He looked at her, thought for a while and told the truth: "Let me retreat."
She looked at him and smiled.
The laughter made him unable to help but ask, "Where is the county lord?"
She supported her cheeks, tilted her head to look at him, and said three words exactly the same: "Let's retire."
At that moment, his ears suddenly felt as itchy as if they were brushed by Hongyu, and even his heart was filled with trembling.
He almost wanted to ask her whom to retire with? But when he opened his mouth, he stopped suddenly and restrained himself.
Maybe she saw something was wrong with him, so she asked him what was wrong.
He didn't find a suitable excuse for a moment and used the three most unreliable words in the world: "Nothing."
However, Yuan Cixian did not ask questions anymore, just laughed.
Next, there was no sound in the car. He looked straight ahead until he saw her sleeping with a crooked and slanted shoulders. When he encountered a pothole on the road, the car was unsteady and suddenly bumped, hitting her towards the wall of the car.
He reacted very quickly, almost subconsciously, and got up to block it, asking her to fall on him.
His breathing stopped for a moment.
But Yuan Cixian seemed to be unconscious at all, closed her eyes and continued to sleep in his arms.
The candlelight in the car was faint, and he lowered his head stiffly, looked at her waist, her slender and elegant neck, her soft side face, and her thick eyelashes.
His body became stiffer and stiffer, but a raging fire broke out inside, burning all over his body.
He couldn't help but stretch out his hand and helped her carefully cut a few strands of hair behind her ears.
His fingertips touched her slightly cool face, and he couldn't move away as he followed the magic, and gently stroked her ears with his fingertips.
Then he forced himself to withdraw his hand, turned his head and closed his eyes and stopped looking at her.
The answer, which he had been unwilling to face up to, had always had some concerns and avoided, finally hit his heart hard at this moment.
He fell in love with Yuan Cixian.
And it is very likely not after she and Zheng Zhuo terminated their engagement.
But he had this ridiculous idea when she was still a fiancée.
All his inexplicable irritability, all his retreating forbearance, and all his obscene behavior were because he felt guilty that even if he was approaching, taking the initiative, or crossing the line, he felt that he was betrayal of Zheng Zhuo.
The carriage stopped and the side door of Yuan Mansion arrived.
He gently straightened her, then pinched his fists and gritted his teeth to leave. He was about to get up, but his waist was surrounded by a pair of jade arms from behind and forward.
He turned around in shock and saw Yuan Cixian closing her eyes, her cheek against his back, and she didn't say anything.
He didn't know when she woke up, or whether she was completely awake, so he restrained himself from asking: "County Lord?"
This sentence "county lord" made her slowly open her eyes.
He seemed a little confused when she opened her eyes. He looked up and saw him, suddenly retracted his hand, and then said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I haven't woken up and recognized the wrong person."
If you admit your mistake, then there should be someone right.
It was Zheng Zhuo. He thought at the time.
That's right, in the past, Zheng Zhuo and her should have shared a ride with each other on such nights.
He controlled his expression and tried his best to say calmly: "It's okay."
Lu Shiqing never thought at that time that this sentence of sorry had nothing to do with it, and it turned out to be the last conversation between him and her in his life.
The turmoil of the court changed, and the war broke out. King Ping led his troops north, the Turks attacked the Uighurs, and Nanzhao made a splash.
He went to the Uighurs, and before leaving, he did not even tell Zheng Zhuo the explanation of "protecting her".
He felt ineligible, unnecessary, and unnecessary. Without his words, Zheng Zhuo would do this, but he did not expect that he thought he was righteous and left, but he would have made mistakes that could never be compensated.
The situation in the capital was changing, and the old emperor killed the donkey. The court officials accused the Yuan family of rebellion. Zheng Zhuo was forced to choose to remove the firewood from the cauldron, and acted as a scene of rebelling against the Yuan family. Then he "killed" Yuan Yizhi and Yuan Yu in front of everyone, and secretly sent them out of the capital to recuperate.
However, the old emperor was suspicious and stared at Zheng Zhuo's actions too closely. He failed to successfully send them away. Yuan Yizhi and Yuan Yu were shot and killed by pursuers on the spot. Afterwards, Yuan Cixian and her sister-in-law were imprisoned together with A Niang.
Zheng Zhuo finally managed to rescue them at his life, but he did not expect that Jiang Birou was a cancer that had been hidden in the Yuan family for many years.
This woman had a deep grudge with Yuan Cixian, and the Yuan family members were all destroyed. It was not uncommon for her to embark on the road of despair. She would choose to surrender to the emperor to seek a way out.
When Lu Shiqing got the news, he drove back thousands of miles away, and there was no time for nothing.
He saved the Uighurs and the world like a hero, but he did not save her.
It's as sarcastic as a joke.
In the wind and rain, Lu Shiqing rested on the bridge railing for a while, finally stood up with his elbow, grabbed the note in his palm and walked slowly into Chang'an City.
*
Two years later, Lu Shiqing, who was then the Minister of the Secretariat, launched a palace change, forcing Emperor Huining to abdicate as the Supreme Emperor and support the Thirteenth Prince Zheng Hong ascend the throne.
Seven days after the throne ceremony was completed, that night, Lu Shiqing sat in the secret passage of Xu's house, and wiped a tombstone with a silk handkerchief.
Cao An was with him.
His hand holding the hand was too thin. At first glance, it looked so haggard that it almost seemed to be as if it was seventy-seven or eighty years old. It seemed that if he pinched it a little hard, his finger would be broken.
Cao An knew that he was suffering. In the past two years, the Lord of Lancang County left first, and soon after, the sixth prince died at the hands of the old emperor. He had nothing left, and it was supported by a determination to avenge and his belief in serving the country and the people to this day.
Cao secretly said to go and take a break, don't wipe it, but he didn't hear him.
Lu Shiqing stubbornly wiped it, not knowing where there was dust.
When it was about to dawn, he stood up, picked up a letter that had been placed in front of the monument, and said, "Go to submit it to Your Majesty and ask him to rehabilitate the Yuan family."
His voice sounded like a vague and powerlessness. Cao An panicked and asked him: "Where are you, Mr. Lang? Your Majesty has just promoted you to the Secretariat. Wouldn't you go to court today?"
Lu Shiqing didn't answer, and walked staggering towards the secret passage. Before he walked up the stairs, he fell to the ground with a "bang" sound, vomiting a mouthful of scarlet blood.
"Mr.!" Cao An rushed up to help him.
Lu Shiqing took advantage of his strength to sit up, wiped the blood from the corner of his lower lip, and smiled faintly, and then answered him: "Cao An, I won't go to court anymore, I want to take a break."
How could Cao An still not understand this situation? He burst into tears in an instant, but he couldn't say a word.
The husband is too hard, too hard. He should be liberated.
Cao An saw that he stretched out his hand with difficulty and took out a note from his sleeve.
He choked and asked, "Langjun, what is this? Do you want the villain to hand it over to you?"
Lu Shiqing shook his head and said with a smile: "This is mine, don't give it to others."
Cao An said yes, not to give it to others, and then looked down at the notes in his hand.
The paper has turned yellow, with only two beautiful lines of handwriting on it: When I find you in the next life, you must set your mind early.
Lu Shiqing followed his gaze and looked down at the lines of words. Then he slowly closed his eyes, bent his lips and said, "Okay."
