The two of them rushed straight to the imperial study, but little did they know that Liu Fuju and Liu Chan were already waiting at the door of the imperial study. The father and son sometimes beat their chests, sometimes stamped their feet, sometimes clapped their hands, and sometimes sighed, each looking more anxious than the other.
"The Emperor has arrived"
Hearing this voice, the father and son suddenly felt like they were saviors. They turned around in panic and rushed towards Shao Yan.
Shao Yan waved his hand and asked impatiently: "Brother, I'm pregnant, what's going on? Wasn't it fine just now?"
Liu Fuju shook his head sadly, then took out an envelope from his sleeve, handed it to Shao Yan and said: "Half an hour ago, the baby and I wanted to come over to see Mengmeng, but who knew that as soon as we arrived at the palace gate, we saw him
A maid sent us a letter."
When Shao Yan heard this, he quickly took the envelope and opened it, only to see that it was covered with a woman's beautiful handwriting. There were more than a dozen densely packed lines, and the content was as follows:
"My father, I have seen you in person, and the unfilial daughter Liu Meng kowtows. My daughter is very grateful to you for bringing me here. Now that I know that my second uncle is fine, my daughter is relieved. You can see or not see, you can only miss me, Goddess
Although she had a dream, King Xiang had no intention of it. Now that her daughter has found the answer, she has put an end to her worries. My second uncle is a good emperor and your good brother. I hope that my father will stay here for a long time and help.
He will rebuild the broken mountains and rivers as soon as possible
...My daughter takes the first step, please forgive her for her unfilial piety. The world is big, and I believe you can always find a place more suitable for your daughter. However, even if your daughter is in a different place, she will pray and bless you every day...
,At this point, the unfilial daughter Liu Meng bows down again..."
Shao Yan patiently read the letter. In addition to using a large number of farewell words, the letter was more about the girl expressing her love for him, such as "the goddess has a heart, but the king has no dream".
, there are no less than ten sentences in the whole letter. I don’t know if this girl is too infatuated or completely ignorant. There is a bloody fingerprint left at the end of the letter. This makes Shao Yan angry and funny. He has always been
I have never seen such a girl. Even if she is heartbroken, there is no need to seek life and death.
"Uncle, did you and my sister have a fight? My sister was fine yesterday, so why did she suddenly leave without saying goodbye?" Liu Chan asked with a reproachful tone.
Shao Yan smiled helplessly and thought to himself, you should ask your father this question.
Liu Fuju's expression was very uneasy. He stamped his foot impatiently and blamed himself: "It's all my fault that I'm too selfish. I only think about myself and don't care about Mengmeng's feelings at all. I'm an incompetent father."
When Liu Chan heard what he said, he was suddenly filled with doubts and asked quickly: "Dad, what is going on? Did you and your sister say something?"
Liu Fuju sighed in shame, and then told the whole story. Liu Chan was very unhappy and said: "Dad, you clearly know that your sister likes my second uncle, why do you still do this? Do you know?
?What you did is not ordinary selfishness, but very selfishness."
Faced with his son's questioning, Liu Fuju was speechless.
"My son, you can't talk to your father like that. Half of the reason why he did this is because of you," Shao Yan scolded sternly.
"Second uncle, please stop talking." Liu Chan interrupted Shao Yan's words sternly and said with tears in his eyes: "Actually, the baby already knew that he was not going to die soon, but the baby didn't want to worry about his father and sister because of his own affairs.
, On the contrary, I hope that I can see my father and sister smiling every day for the rest of my life, instead of breaking up a beautiful marriage for the sake of a dying person like now."
After that, he turned back to look at Shao Yan and said affectionately: "Second uncle, in my heart, you are both my uncle and my brother-in-law. My sister has the deepest affection for you. You must never let her down."
She has so much affection for you."
Shao Yan nodded and said: "I know this. The most important thing right now is to find your sister as soon as possible. I just received news that Liang and Chu are gathering armies to move closer here, and Mengmeng must pass through this place if she wants to get out."
There are several big mountains, if you encounter these bandits, the consequences will be disastrous."
Liu Fuju was so worried that he thought, "What should we do? Mengmeng is a weak woman alone, what if we really encounter these thieves?" He did not dare to think about it, and hurriedly asked Shao Yan to lead the team.
Chase
Shao Yan considered that his father and son were relatively unfamiliar with this area, and going out rashly would only be a disservice. He politely refused them at the moment. However, Bai Ruxue, Li Changsheng, and Zhang Baihu had already entered a state of combat readiness. If they were sent out at this time,
It will definitely affect the overall combat plan. After much deliberation, he decided to personally take the four masters to find it.
…
In winter, the sky in Badaling is always gloomy, and the sun does not dare to stay in the sky for too long. After a while, he shrinks his head into the clouds, like an old man who is afraid of the cold.
The fields, hills, and villages in the suburbs are all covered with a thick layer of snow, which looks like a huge blanket. The wickers covered with frost and snow are like strands of silver, which looks particularly spectacular.
In the twelfth lunar month of winter, when the snow is frozen, the entire mountains and rivers become a big freezer, constantly trembling there. The once lively river water has now turned into thin ice, and even the air exhaled from people's mouths will solidify in an instant.
Shao Yan and his party of five, each riding a war horse, wearing a cloak and wearing weapons, ran straight from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain. Because the hillside was too slippery, the horses all slipped down halfway up the mountain. In desperation, they had to
I dismounted and walked forward, but the snow was too thick along the way, and in some areas there were mostly dead branches and leaves. If I stepped in front of it accidentally, I would fall.
Fortunately, there are four masters protecting him along the way, so there is no need to worry about safety. However, they have searched several nearby mountains and there are no traces of Liu Meng. If they go further, they are very likely to encounter a bandit army.
, in order to find Liu Meng as soon as possible, Shao Yan asked everyone to divide the search into three groups. Each of the four masters worked in pairs, and he went to the cliffs alone to search.
More than an hour passed, when Shao Yan led the horse and walked with difficulty to a remote canyon, he saw mountains and mountains ahead, lush trees, and several mountain walls as if the toppling summer had merged into one.
The place looks very much like Feilai Peak in front of Lingyin Temple
He walked slowly to the edge of the cliff and looked down at the bottom of the bottomless valley. His legs and feet trembled, and he quickly stepped back. Unexpectedly, he accidentally stepped on something slightly harder. When he lowered his head, he saw that it was a
He was about to pick up the woman's embroidered shoes and look at them when he suddenly heard a woman's voice coming from the direction of the valley bottom.
"Help, is there anyone? Help me."
Hey, this voice sounds so familiar... Shao Yan suddenly thought, yes, it was Liu Meng's voice. He couldn't help but feel ecstatic. Without saying a word, he bravely walked to the edge of the cliff and leaned down to look down.
, but saw a pine tree as tall as one person growing on the cliff, with a pretty figure hanging on it. Looking carefully, it was none other than that girl Liu Meng.
Shao Yan was so anxious that he hurriedly lay down on the snow, clasped his hands and shouted down: "Mengmeng, don't be afraid, I'll come to you right away, don't move."
Saying this in this situation, although it won't have much effect, it can give people a little comfort and prevent them from despairing and giving up the idea of survival.
Liu Meng hugged the root of the tree tightly with one hand and smoothed the messy bangs on her head with the other hand. When she saw Shao Yan on the top of the mountain, she was shocked and happy, and shouted repeatedly: "Uncle, come and save me."
I"
Shao Yan took off his cloak, cut the coarse cloth into strips with a knife, then twisted all the strips into a long rope, tied one end to his waist, and tied the other end to a nearby stronger rope.
On the tree roots, he slowly climbed down along the cliff.
At this moment, his heart was beating very hard because he was very aware of his situation. Once the rope was broken or the tree roots were uprooted, what awaited him would be to fall off the cliff and die.
Just like the first time he jumped off a cliff with Zheng Yuegui, it is difficult to see a miracle happen without the determination to die. Now that things have happened, he can only give it a try.
As stones and snowflakes continued to fall from his side, his mood became more and more nervous, and his hands shook more and more violently. He seemed to have completely forgotten who he was and what he was doing. Facing Liu Meng, he couldn't help but
When I kept telling myself to be careful, he didn't even hear me.
Huangtian paid off. After a lot of hard work, he finally stepped on the pine tree on the edge of the cliff. The moment he slowly squatted down, Liu Meng suddenly hugged his waist from behind.
Shao Yan was really startled and said with a wry smile: "You girl, do you want to scare me to death?"
Liu Meng cried and said: "Second uncle, I finally waited for you to come. I knew you wouldn't leave me alone."
Shao Yan didn't have time to say anything to her, but he heard a "chi" sound from the other end of the rope. He looked up and saw that the joint of the rope had been cut by a sharp stone.
"It's over, neither of us can get up this time." Shao Yan sighed desperately, but Liu Meng didn't seem to care, and his hands hugged him tighter than before. Shao Yan was a little out of breath.
, helplessly said: "You girl, why are you running around with nothing to do? Do you know how worried we are when you leave like this?"
Liu Meng's face turned red and hesitantly said: "I'm sorry, little uncle, Mengmeng knows that I was wrong. Mengmeng shouldn't act like a child, and now I'm hurting you."
Shao Yan thought to himself that he couldn't go up now anyway, so he might as well save his energy and wait for the four masters to come to rescue him, so he simply cut the rope, tied the other end of the rope to the root of the tree again, and tied Liu Meng to himself at the same time.
, in this way, the two of them become one.
It was the first time in Liu Meng's life that she was so close to a man. She couldn't help but blush. Shao Yan didn't have the intention to care about it. He then reached out to pat the snowflakes on her head and gently smoothed the messy hair on her head.
Hair, Liu Meng’s pretty face becomes more and more rosy
The two of them didn't speak to each other. For a long time, Liu Meng looked at him shyly and said: "Second uncle, so you have read my letter?"
Shao Yan nodded without thinking, and Liu Meng's face turned even redder, and she hurriedly said: "Second Uncle, what I wrote there are all angry words, please don't take it to heart."
This girl wants to write, but has no courage to say it. This is not like her character. Could it be that no matter how fierce a woman is, she will be so shy in front of her sweetheart? Today, it is really unfortunate that this man is so handsome, and he will encounter it wherever he goes.
The infatuated girl Shao Yan thought shamelessly, and then laughed and said: "Of course I know those are your angry words. What good can I do to make some people use the words 'Goddess has a heart, King Xiang has no dream' to be so noble?"
To describe it in a sentence, but then I thought about it carefully, besides me, who else could be this 'King Xiang'?"
Liu Meng's pretty face turned red, then dimmed quickly, and she said with an angry tone: "Since you understand everything, why do you care about me? Just let me die."
Damn, this girl has changed so quickly. She was as gentle as jade just now, and she transformed into a tigress so quickly. Damn it, I can’t even read a book faster than you. Shao Yan suppressed his laughter and said: "After all, you
Still angry with me”
Liu Meng buried her head and snorted coldly: "How dare I? You are a high-ranking emperor, and there are a lot of women around you. What do I, a commoner, mean? How can I dare to surprise your majesty?"
Shao Yan smiled slightly and said: "Oh, I understand, it turns out you are not angry, but jealous."
"No, why should I be jealous?" Liu Meng slowly raised his head and glared at Shao Yan again.
Shao Yan looked at her dubiously, and then said with a mischievous smile: "Oh, really? In this case, I am just being sentimental. I thought someone left a farewell letter, and I was afraid that he would actually go there.
She wanted to live a happy life of hiding her name and retreating into the mountains and forests, but she didn’t expect her to be more open-minded than anyone else. She simply hung upside down on the cliff and watched the scenery. This kind of fun is probably difficult for even those heroes to achieve."
Liu Meng heard that he was sarcastic about herself, and couldn't help but said with a stern face: "Well, from beginning to end, I, Liu Meng, am the only one who is being sentimental, so that's okay? I like to sit alone in the pine tree and watch the scenery, so what?
?”
"So what?" Shao Yan snorted and said with a faint smile: "That's easy to say. With a personality like yours, who else in this life would dare to marry you? You are fierce, stubborn and willful, even worse than Sister Feng."
Liu Meng said angrily: "You are the emperor. In your eyes, I am just a commoner's daughter. In that case, you don't have to worry about whether a commoner's daughter lives or dies. Even if I can't get married in this life, I won't become a monk at all."
Be a nun"
Shao Yan laughed loudly and said: "Okay, I will issue an imperial edict when I arrive. If any nunnery dares to accept you, I will immediately have the nunnery sealed and drive away all novice monks."
When Liu Meng heard this, she was immediately anxious and angry, "You, you are acting rogue. The emperor wants to embarrass a monk. What kind of emperor are you?" When it came to being angry, she didn't care about etiquette and dignity.
"Don't forget, I am the best emperor, so I naturally act differently," Shao Yan said with a bad smile.
Seeing that girl blushing with anger, Shao Yan couldn't help but think of the time when he first met her. At that time, Liu Meng deliberately got some fake banknotes to punish himself in order to retaliate for his "rudeness", but he didn't expect this to cause an uproar.
, and I almost lost my head. Looking back now, at that time, this girl was no less aggressive than she is now.
Liu Meng caught a glimpse of him looking at her with strange eyes, and couldn't help but said strangely: "Your Majesty, are you here to see the jokes of common girls today? If so, please come back, I want to be alone for a while."
Shao Yan said dumbfounded: "Then do you think we can still be separated now?"
Only then did Liu Meng realize that she was firmly tied to him. Shao Yan put away his playful smile and said seriously: "I don't want to quarrel with you when I come here this time. If you don't like to be with me, wait until I tell you."
After saying these words, I will find a way to leave here without disturbing your peace."
As he spoke, he told Liu Meng exactly what Liu Fuju said to him that night. Liu Meng couldn't believe it at first, but judging from her father's recent series of abnormal behaviors, she had no choice but to believe it. It turned out that
Before that, Liu Fuju had indirectly persuaded her to give up on Shao Yan, but she avoided the topic. She thought that as long as she stood firm, she would change her father's mind, but she didn't expect that her father would let Shao Yan out.
Face to face help
After learning the truth, she couldn't help but look ashamed. She gently leaned her pretty forehead on Shao Yan's shoulder and said softly: "Uncle, Mengmeng wrongly blamed you, I'm sorry."
Shao Yan hugged her into his arms and said with a hearty smile: "I don't blame you. I hope you can forgive your father. Although what he did is not advisable, he did it for your own good."
Liu Meng shook her head and said softly: "Dad loves Mengmeng and loves giving birth to babies. We, as children, naturally don't care about our father's faults. Since it is daddy's will, Mengmeng should follow it." After saying this, she slowly
He slowly moved Shao Yan's shoulder away and said affectionately: "Second uncle, don't worry, Mengmeng will definitely listen to daddy, but Mengmeng has a question to ask you."
