In the room, Chu Qing gently put her on the bed. He was about to take his hand out from behind her, but she turned around and pressed his hand tighter, her face just on his chest. Position, he lowered his head slightly, he could clearly look at her nose, her eyes, her cherry-like lips, the scene in his mind that she had kissed him actively just now appeared in the cave that night, they used to See you frankly.

Her eyelashes are very long, casting a long shadow on her white face under the flickering candlelight. She slept very well, unexpectedly tightly.

He unknowingly approached her lips. He was not Li Zhao, nor was he an ascetic. Facing such a woman, it was difficult for him not to be moved.

but…

Finally, his lips were lightly printed on her forehead, and then his hand was carefully drawn out.

However, she was Li Zhao's most beloved woman. Before Li Zhao passed out, the last word left to him was to take care of his cousin. He just took care of her in place of Li Zhao, he could not live up to Li Zhao's trust in him, let alone hurt her.

After he covered her with a quilt, he took another quilt out of it and threw it on the ground, then lay down in his clothes, his back facing her, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and gradually entered his dream.

In Lu Youran's room, she didn't go to sleep so quickly.

She stayed on the bed, and when everyone was almost asleep, she got up. There are two reasons why she chose to stay here tonight. One is to visit her "good sister", and the other is to meet Chu Li and tell him personally.

But after her inquiries, Lu Manman and her cousin were sleeping in the same room tonight. Li Zhao is a general on the battlefield. Even if he falls asleep, his sleep is very shallow. Basically, a little noise can wake him up. .

And she worked so hard to hide her true temperament so well, if he was caught upright, then she would have lost all of her work. So she let Lu Manman go for the time being and went to Chu Li's room to find out.

According to the memory of her previous life, Lu Youran walked to Chu Li's room.

In her previous life, in order to make Chu Huai ascend to the throne, she set up a strategy with Chu Huai to turn Chu Li into a traitor who collaborated with the enemy and treason. Although the current sage kept Chu Li's fate, it could not be lower than the public opinion of the Manchu civil and military. In desperation, she only ordered Chu Li to be exiled. She had personally ransacked Chu Li's home, so she still had some knowledge of Chu Li's mansion.

After Chu Li was exiled, she sent a killer to stop Chu Li halfway in order to avoid future troubles. Later, the killer she sent did not return, and Chu Li disappeared from the world, and there was no news of him.

Before she knew it, Lu Youran had already walked outside Chu Li's room. As soon as she approached Chu Li's room, she heard the conversation between Chu Li and Black Hawk. Chu Li said, "Black Hawk, you will be there tonight. Outside the door of Lu Manman and Li Zhao's room, if a strange noise comes from their room at night, you rush in and bring Lu Manman out to me."

He looked at Chu Li coldly with one eye through the hair covering half of his face. He said, "Master, do you like this Lu Manman?"

"How could I like her?"

"If not, why does the master want me to stay outside their room?"

"The Lu family has been officials from generation to generation, and the connections have been deeply entrenched in my dynasty. Prime Minister Lu has also won the heart of his father. If we can get the support of Prime Minister Lu, we will have to walk less."

"The master wants to get closer to Prime Minister Lu. Why don't you agree to Lu Youran's request to marry Lu Youran?"

He looked out the window, where there was a person's shadow, and Chu Li said, "Lu Youran is indeed good, but that day, Father Fu Yuan came over with her portrait and was seen by the second brother. The second brother saw her. It’s like a demon, I actually went to beg the father to dissolve the marriage contract between him and Lu Manman. We have been dormant for many years, and now it is a very critical moment. Of course, we can’t act rashly."

Lu Youran thought, it turned out that Chu Li wasn't totally unacceptable. It was just that Chu Huai asked the sage first for a decree, which showed that she still had hope.

Hei Ying said again: "Now Lu Youran has a marriage contract with King Chu Huai. If Prime Minister Lu supports King Chu Huai, wouldn't it be a good thing to ruin the master? I will kill Lu Youran tonight to relieve her threat to the master. ."

"No." Chu Li walked to the round table. After he sat down, he took a sip of sober tea, and then said: "What is wrong with Lu Youran, she is just a poor woman who has been teased by fate. We don't have to be embarrassed. she."

Black Eagle continued to blacken his face, and he said: "As long as the master does not forget the agreement between us, I will remain the master's guard. If the master does not remember the agreement between us, whether it is Lu Youran or Lu Manman, Black Hawk will not Will be stingy with the knife in his hand."

Black Hawk's words made Lu Youran's heart tremble. In her previous life, she didn't know much about Black Hawk, but it was not easy for him to train a Hawk into a falcon that can track its prey. Black Hawk, what kind of identity does he have, how dare he threaten Chu Li?

Black Hawk's eyes were cold, he looked sideways at the black shadow on the wall, already showing his knife, and he said, "Who is it?"

Lu Youran bit her lips tightly. Whether it was Black Hawk or Chu Li, she could not escape. At this time, she could only stand up, and there might be a chance. After all, what Chu Li just meant was not that she should die now.

Lu Youran said, "It's me."

Black Hawk heard Lu Youran's voice, and he said, "It's actually you."

No prey had ever escaped from his sword. Lu Youran was the first one, so every time he saw Lu Youran, he didn't have a good face. He always felt that Lu Youran had ruined his fame.

He walked past her, and a cold air radiated from him, and Lu Youran shuddered from the cold, but fortunately Chu Li was here, he didn't dare to mess around.

After Black Hawk left, Chu Li looked at Lu Youran and asked, "Miss Lu Er, what do you do outside my room if you don't sleep in the middle of the night?"

"Four princes, You Ran has something to say to you."

Chu Li walked to the door, and then said, "No matter what Miss Lu Er wants to say to me, it is too late now. There is a difference between men and women. Moreover, Miss Lu Er is my second brother's unpassed wife. , Because of emotion and reason, shouldn't show up in my room at this time. Please also ask Miss Lu Er to go back!"

She suddenly knelt in front of Chu Li, her voice choked with a bit of sobs: "Four princes, in fact, You Ran is not like marrying Chu Huai, but it is difficult for her to die, and my father is still a man who will not violate the sacred decree. I’m just a weak woman and I can’t resist. In fact, You Ran has long been enamored with the Four Princes. You Ran knows what the Four Princes want, and You Ran also knows what she wants. If the Four Princes can combine with You Ran, I believe that we will realize our ideals soon."

Chu Li played with the tea cup in his hand, his eyes were not on Lu Youran. He said, "Miss Lu Er, this prince really doesn't understand what you are talking about. You are my second brother's uncommitted wife. My future sister-in-law, this prince will never spread any rumors with his future sister-in-law. Also, Miss Lu Er always seems to think that you know me well and are proud? Miss Lu Er, I have to remind you , Your thoughts are dangerous like this. What the prince dislikes most is being too understood."

After he finished speaking, the teacup in his hand was crushed to pieces, and a dangerous breath came out from his dark eyes. His tone became a lot tougher, "Miss Lu Er, please come back!"

Lu Youran bit her lips tightly, and she asked, "The reason why the four princes can't accept me, but because of Lu Manman?"

"Regardless of the existence of Lu Manman, this prince will not accept a woman with a peach-faced face and a snake-like heart. A woman like you is too dangerous. If the prince really has something with you, I am afraid that I will never sleep again. Uneasy."

He called himself me just now, and now he calls himself the prince, he has widened the distance between him and her. He knew that Lu Youran was outside the door, so he told Black Hawk not to kill her, and at this time he explicitly rejected her. This is the same as fishing. You should let it go, and wait until the fish gets tired. Then he couldn't run anymore.

Lu Youran thought, he said that she had a peach-faced face and a snake-like heart. If he knew everything she had experienced, she believed that he would understand her like this. She was no longer willing to be the person who was trampled under her feet, and she no longer wanted to be the Lu Youran who lived for and died for others, even her own children could not protect her.

She stood up from the ground, her tone hardened a bit, and she said: "Why is the fourth prince like this? If the fourth prince really wants to make a clear relationship with You Ran, then I will tell the fourth prince Li Zhao after Chinese medicine, why is the fourth prince? Stop him? How can I arrange for someone to put the square pagoda on the fifth princes? Fourth princes, you have your ambitions, and your ambitions will not be fettered by the so-called family love , I am the same, I have experienced some things, I will never believe in love again. Even if I marry Chu Huai, I also hope that I can keep in touch with the four princes and deal with our common enemy."

Chu Li smiled but didn't smile. He finally gave Lu Youran a look. He said, "Then Miss Lu Er tells me, who is our common enemy?"

"Li Zhao."

The smile at the corner of his mouth deepened, and he said: "This prince realizes that Miss Lu Er's hostility towards Lu Manman seems to be better than the hostility towards Li Zhao."

"Yes, Lu Manman is my worst enemy, but Li Zhao is Lu Manman's current patron. I will destroy her patron, make her isolated and helpless, let her... ."

When she spoke, she didn't take away the fierceness in her eyes. She hated Lu Manman so much, but Chu Li became interested in Lu Youran. He asked, "How much hatred is there between you and Lu Manman? , You hate her so much?"

"Don't share the hatred of heaven."

After Lu Youran said this, he saluted Chu Li: "Four princes, if you agree to my request, tomorrow morning, you will tie a red ribbon on the tree outside your house. Then I understand the meaning of the four princes."

After that, Lu Youran turned and left, leaving only Chu Li alone. He looked at the direction Lu Youran was leaving, and looked thoughtful. This Lu Youran, her intentions are by no means simple between women. Fighting, if Lu Manman were in her hands, there would be absolutely no good days.

If it was before, he would have sneered at her. But this was a very moment. He originally thought that his father would replace Chu Ran from the position of prince, but he did not expect that the last time he went to the East Palace, he actually saw Chu Ran reviewing the memorials. The father deceived everyone. Even if Chu Ran's legs are useless and he has no fertility, his father still wants him to be the next king.

He just didn't understand, how is Chu Ran better than the other brothers? The best thing about him is that his mother is a queen, the only woman his father really likes.

For the other princes, whether it was them or their mother, they were just substitutes.

Chu Li closed the door, his eyes darkened.

He also deceived everyone. Everyone thought he was afraid of the dark, but he didn't know that what he was most afraid of was standing on top of a tall building and looking down.

Once he stood on top of a tall building, the scene of his mother's tragic death appeared before his eyes, and he felt dizzy, cold and unable to stand.

That year, he was only ten years old. Although his mother gave birth to him, she was still a lowly court lady in the palace. The difference was that she also had the jealousy of other court ladies.

Although he is a prince, he has never been able to eat enough or dress warmly. He is also bullied by court ladies and eunuchs from time to time. They often shut him up in a dark room for a small matter.

He pretends to be very scared every time. In fact, he is not afraid at all. He knows that if he pretends to be more afraid of the darkness, they will only shut him in a dark room every time he makes a mistake.

That year, it was winter, and there was heavy snowfall. The heavy snow attached a silver coat to the capital. He was cold and hungry, but he knew that his mother was also cold and hungry.

Since his birth, the father has never seen him again. He never asked his mother why the emperor did not come to see him because he was afraid that his mother would be sad.

Perhaps in the eyes of the father, his mother was just a court lady who was lucky on a whim, but in their hearts, the father was everything to them, the king who could change their status quo and had the power of life and death. Because of this, he has never been a joke about men and women.

My mother kneeled for many years to wash clothes, and her legs had rheumatism. The more the winter came, the more painful it became.

Their warm cotton clothes this winter have not arrived yet, but my mother has to do laundry every day. The washing water freezes and the mother's head is covered with wind and snow, but she still kneels there to do the laundry.

At that time, he thought, if he could have a little cotton and make a cushion for his mother and let her kneel on the cushion, maybe her leg would not hurt so much.

So he secretly went to the warehouse and stole some cotton and cotton cloth, but before the cotton and cotton cloth was in the room, he was seen by the court lady in the warehouse. The court lady told the lady in charge of the matter, and the lady in charge shut him in. Inside the dark room.

He was in the dark room when he heard his mother kneeling and begging the court lady in charge, and finally did not know why, there was no sound outside. At that time, the maids let him out in a panic. They told him that his mother was crazy and was running towards the clock tower at this time.

The bell tower is the highest place in the palace. It is usually the place where musicians ring the bell and play music when there are very important things. Where is his mother going to do?

Under the leadership of the maids, he also came to the clock tower. At that time, his mother was hitting the big clock with her head. When the big clock rang, the whole palace could hear it. On that day, he saw When he arrived at his legendary father, he was coming here when he heard the bell ringing after he left the morning court.

He watched his mother bang her head frantically, and the bell roared, just like his mother's mood at this time. But he could see her eyes clearly, and the despair and sadness in her eyes told him that she was not crazy, she just didn't want to live anymore.

At that time, he ran to his mother frantically. He knelt on the ground and begged her, "Mother, don't hit it anymore, you will die if you hit it again."

At that time, his mother's face was full of blood. She saw him and also his father, who was coming here.

She stopped, she also knelt on the ground holding his face, she cried: "My son! Mother is not crazy, mother does not want to die, mother wants to grow up with you, watching you marry a wife and have children. But mother can’t wait any longer. Your father doesn’t even know our existence. If we continue like this, you and I will die in this deep palace. If you use my life, you can get your glory and wealth, and you can get you. The status of the prince, then the mother is worth death."

He shook his head frantically, "No, no, Li'er doesn't want to be prosperous and wealthy, he doesn't want the status of a prince, Li'er only needs his mother to be by his side."

But she looked at the direction his father rushed in, her face was extremely decisive, "My son! Remember, if you don't want to be the dirt on the ground, then you will become the master. Mother. Mother. It's useless, the only thing I can give you is a chance."

After that, she let him go, ran towards the clock tower, jumped, and fell straight in front of him, he also crawled over, he saw the reluctance in her eyes, the pain in her eyes , And the way she was splashed with blood after falling to the ground.

His eyes were scarlet, and he heard his father's emperor ask loudly: "What is going on?"

The words his mother said just now echoed in his ears, "The only thing I can give you is a chance."

His mother used her own life to give him a chance, so he must seize this opportunity, and he yelled at the bottom of the bell tower, "Mother."

His screams attracted the attention of the saint. In this palace, besides the prince, how could there be other children?

After he ran down, he knelt in front of the sage, kowtow to him, "Father, please save my mother."

It was also that time that the present-day saint knew that he still had a son.

Chu Li knew very well that there was only one person who could cover the sky in the harem and let them live as invisible for ten years, and this person was the empress.

Later, he dressed in filial attire and held his mother's tablet to see off his mother.

At that time, he was the fourth prince of Xichu, and his mother was posthumously named Wanbi.

But what's the use of these, his mother will never come back, he became an orphan, a "noble" orphan, but he remembered the words of his mother before his death, and did not want to be trampled underfoot The mud becomes the master of that person.

Chu Li blew out the light, then lay on the bed, widening his eyes and looking at the darkness in front of him. In these years, he has never forgotten his mother's request, let alone his enemy.
