Mountains and rivers fall into red

Chapter 59
However, in order to save Tianji, this can only be the last resort, and I can't take care of these.

Dim light and a little bit of colorful clouds linger, and different lights and shadows sandwich her between them, and her figure becomes thinner and thinner.She raised her head slightly, and her consciousness appeared blurred, as if separated by several layers of gauze curtains, she could not see clearly the scene in front of her, but she vaguely saw a tall and healthy body striding towards her.

When she looked intently, Xiao Kui was already standing in front of her.A ray of light shone on his face, with clear eyebrows and bright eyes, just like when she first saw him and in her dream.

Yes, he is the crown prince.Domineering exposed, a king's face.

After all, people's hearts will change, and now her appearance is not sweet and charming, but rather sad and pitiful, clearly like a bitter woman.

What would he think of her?Maybe he would laugh at her.

The two faced each other, and in the silence, she heard him sigh slightly: "How did you become like this?"

There seemed to be a hint of sweetness mixed with bitterness, and a faint smile appeared on her pale face: "Is your injury okay?"

"All right."

He slowly reached out and put his arms around her shoulders.She wanted to avoid it, but a warm feeling climbed up her back and spread to her whole body, making people feel like a spring breeze.Xiuxiu's heart warmed, and through the moist eyes, she just wanted to make a nonchalant smile at this moment, but she couldn't laugh after all.

"I have come to ask Your Highness for help."

His expression became serious: "Let's go inside and talk." After speaking, he pulled her wrist.It happened to touch her sore spot, and she couldn't help but let out a low cry.He stared at her, and without waiting for her to stop, he gently raised her hand, and the blue-colored sleeve slid down.

During the quarrel that night, Tianji pushed her down angrily, hitting the bed frame with his arm.It has been more than one month, and although the large bruises have faded, they are still shocking.Xiao Kui frowned, with unbearable pain evident on his face: "Are you okay? Did he treat you badly?"

She finally lowered her eyes and said tremblingly, "I'm fine, but he's not... Please help him."

He was angry, bit his lips, and said clearly: "I know, you wouldn't come to see me without something serious. You're obviously not good, so why do you still say yes?"

She shook her head, knowing the purpose of her coming here, and continued: "Tianji was involved in the Mu family's case and was arrested for many days. Now he may be locked up in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

Xiao Kui withdrew his hand slowly, but laughed in disbelief: "Shen Buyu, this old devil has even arrested his own family." After pondering for a moment, he called out loudly to the palace servant standing in the distance, " Quickly grab the pen and paper, and bring the Prince's seal!"

He gently held her hand and walked slowly into the hall.She couldn't hold her hand tightly, as if it would break if she squeezed it.Xiuxiu feels that there is a feeling of attachment from the fingertips to the whole body.

Xia Ying passed through the leaky window and reflected on Xiao Kui's face, giving people a sense of peace and tranquility.He was writing intently, and Xiuxiu couldn't help but stare at it, almost suspecting that he was in a dream, but it didn't seem real.

After Xiao Kui finished writing, he called the guards: "Send it to the Ministry of Punishment quickly, and then send troops to pick him up on the road and send him home." He turned around and comforted Xiuxiu, "Don't worry, the matter will be done soon."

There seemed to be water ripples in Xiuxiu's eyes, she tried her best to control it, and saluted deeply.

With a sigh, he held her back, with affectionate eyes shining in his eyes, and gently hugged her, like holding a delicate flower that would be blown down by the wind at any time.

"I'll send it to you."

They walked side by side on the bluestone road leading to the palace gate. At this moment, the entire lake surface was as smooth as a mirror. The sky was getting late, and thick fog shrouded the bamboo forest on the embankment.

"I heard that in the few months since I left, there has been no snow in Jiangling," he said.

"Wouldn't it be better if it didn't snow?" She replied, feeling that it's nice to chat leisurely for a while.

Deep in her memory, the past winter and this spring were so cold.

He smiled confidently, and the brow was like a sword drawn out of its sheath: "I hope that there will be heavy snow, covering the mountains and rivers of the whole beam. It's like a piece of white paper, and I will repaint it with the pen and ink in my hand. Brilliant picture."

This look and tone are completely different from the Xiao Kui I've seen before.Xiuxiu suddenly understood, and couldn't help turning her head, seeing Xiao Kui looking at her with a gentle smile, the corner of her mouth twitched helplessly.

On that starry and cloudless night, a pair of silhouettes overlapped immediately, their fingers intertwined, so harmonious and comfortable.

The room curtain in front of me is still the same, the flowers and the moon are as usual, but how many days has the Sri Lankan people been separated?Remembering that Tianji is still suffering, she has already lost the mood to find Fang.

In the desolate cold wind, she said goodbye to him.His voice seemed to be trembling and fluttering: "Xiuxiu, we all made mistakes, don't make mistakes anymore, you know?"

"Even if it is wrong, I will continue to be wrong. Your Highness is not the previous Highness, you will be a master of the world, and you will become stronger. Xiuxiu's world is very small, just a courtyard, a husband who loves me. Of course I can be satisfied Yes, it can't and has to be like this. Take care, Your Highness."

She left with tears in her eyes and couldn't bear to look back.

In the distance, Zheng Yizhen's unpredictable face appeared and disappeared under the reflection of the lake light.

She stared blankly at the pair of men and women walking hand in hand on the bluestone road, something cold poured down on her head and face.Xiao Kui's handsome silhouette was half-illuminated, only he wanted to hold Shen Xiuxiu's hand, but Shen Xiuxiu didn't know how to dodge, but only quickened his pace.Xiao Kui raised his lips and smiled at her.

Zheng Yi really thought, that kind of smile was something she could only hope for.

She got up slowly, feeling dizzy more and more intensely, and she was about to fall before she could stand still.Just at this time, Jiang Chen entered the waterside pavilion and reached out to hold her.Yizhen pushed away Jiang Chen's support as if venting, with a fierce look in his eyes and trembling lips.

A few words came out of her mouth, and no one could hear them except her and Jiang Chen.

"Heart trouble!"

Skyrim was finally carried home.

Because of the torture, his body was covered with cuts and bruises, and he traveled a long distance from Yizhou to Jiangling. His weak body couldn't stand the bumps, and he was unconscious when he got home.

Xiuxiu accompanied the medicine stove and tea stove by Tianji's side, and she was indiscriminately dressed for several days.After a few days, Skyrim finally sobered up.

He looked up at Xiuxiu's red eyes, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face: "I understand now that on the day I decided to marry you, Mrs. Ji had already given up on me. This shipment is not for reuse. I was really using me to take risks. I was just a pawn thrown by them. Now, no one cares about my life."

"It was I who harmed you..." Xiuxiu said with tears.

"It seems that I can't stay in Jiangling anymore. Who told me to seek refuge with the wrong person. I can't be an official, and you are like this. Now no one wants me anymore." Tianji looked depressed.

Xiuxiu quickly comforted him and said, "Brother Tianji, don't say that, Xiuxiu will never leave you. Wherever you go, Xiuxiu will naturally follow you."

There seemed to be a flash of light in Tianji's eyes: "Will you really follow me?"

Looking into Tianji's expectant eyes, Xiuxiu nodded solemnly.Still uncertain, Tianji asked, "I want to go back to my hometown, are you willing to leave this place?"

"Of course we go together." Xiuxiu put on a relaxed look, "We are husband and wife, aren't we?"

Tianji sighed, stretched out his hand and took Xiuxiu's hand with difficulty: "No matter what, I still believe in you. These days are not easy for me, and I always feel that you have gone. I shouldn't blame you for making you feel wronged."

Xiuxiu said: "Don't think about it so much, we'll go back when you recover from your injury."

The two reunited and chatted some gossip again, Tianji finally fell asleep.Xiuxiu walked out of the room wearily, in the twilight sky, there seemed to be a thin gauze lingering with melancholy clouds.She slowly sat down on the cold steps, hugging her knees and thinking.

We were all doing it wrong, he said.Did she do something wrong too?
At least she did the right thing by leaving this time.

Maybe when I went to that familiar place and met the folks in Mengyu County, my life would be more ordinary and everything would be fine.

One day a guest came to Han Garden, and it was the long-lost eldest prince Xiao Shao.

"Hey, Xiuxiu." Xiao Shao greeted in simple civilian clothes, "How is Brother Tianji's injury?"

"Prince, are you alright?" Xiuxiu asked in surprise and joy.

She is kind to Xiao Shao.He is like a big brother, but also like a lively friend.Mu's power was cut off, the queen killed herself to thank the country, Xiao Shao was naturally guilty, why did she appear now?

"Don't call me the eldest prince." Xiao Shao calmed down, shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and said something jokingly, "cutting the noble, dismissing, beheading, exiling... the weather in this royal city is worse than the New Year's Eve Lively. I was guilty, thinking that this head would not be saved. Fortunately, my third brother came back to speak for me, saying that since I have not been sentenced, I am not a criminal. So I was proposed by the court to be punished by confiscating the title and land, and sending Yunyi as a commoner Rest in the border area."

After hearing this, Xiuxiu was both relieved and indescribably sad, and said: "The imperial struggle for power will harm the innocent, so the eldest prince can take it easy."

"Being born in the royal family is not as comfortable as ordinary people." Xiao Shao said with emotion, "As the son of the emperor, he should be loyal and filial to the emperor and the court. I will leave in a few days."

"Can't you also be loyal and filial here?" Xiuxiu asked frankly, reluctantly.

Xiao Shao laughed, and shook her head helplessly: "Sister Xiuxiu is still the same, pure and kind, it is worthwhile for me to meet Xiao Shao. I am confused on the surface, but my heart is like a mirror. I told you before that living in the royal family, It is luck and misfortune. My grandfather is the Duke of Dingguo, and my mother is the queen. I can't fight for many things, otherwise, I will be the one who is bleeding. You see, retribution has come."

After some visits, Xiao Shao couldn't help comforting Tianji, and said goodbye to the couple without talking about his situation.

"Brother Tianji has been involved innocently in this dispute, so it's hard for you."

Xiuxiu sent Xiao Shao to the door, Xiao Shao turned to look at Xiuxiu, he seemed to be hesitating, and then made up his mind: "There is something that I didn't want to tell you at first, for fear of affecting the relationship between your husband and wife. But now, look at your relationship with Tianji. My brother is too guilty, I don’t want to take it away forever, maybe speaking out, the burden on your heart can be lightened.”

"What's the matter?" Xiuxiu was a little uneasy.

"The third younger brother hid Yang Jian privately, and was demoted to be a commoner...in fact, it was Brother Tianji who reported it to Master Ji."

Hearing this, Hugh can't speak for a long time.

Xiao Shao comforted: "This matter is over, and he is also trapped by love. Don't blame him if you are injured like this."

After all, his voice was dignified, without any emotion: "So farewell. Third brother, he will be a wise king."

Xiuxiu watched Xiao Shao's chariots and horses drift away, feeling very blocked in her heart.She cried alone in the yard for a long time, as if she had let go of the old burden, but also seemed to be carrying a new burden, with indescribable helplessness.

The rivers and mountains in front of me contain a kind of solemnity, and the fallen leaves are like a dream like smoke, which can't be seen to the end of the world.

Destiny, that's how it ended.

The world is so big that you can hide your body, but where is your heart stored?
two

According to Liu Rulan's instructions, the servant girl Yanxi handed over the best healing medicinal materials to Xiuxiu.

Seeing that Yanxi recovered from her injury, Xiuxiu felt happy for her.When the master and servant met, thinking of the separation and reunion of the past two years, it was unavoidable to be sad again.

"How are you and Brother Xinyang doing now?" Xiuxiu remembered Yanxi's lifelong events.

"Yan Xi is lucky to meet a kind-hearted second lady. But if the second lady doesn't say anything, she will definitely not accept the matter between me and the young master in her heart. The young master is rarely at home recently, and he is getting more and more indifferent to the officialdom. Master and madam There's nothing you can do about him." Yan Xi's complexion was dark, and he sighed, "Life and death are up to fate, wealth is in the sky, I just hope that Yan Xi's infatuation will not be wasted."

Xiuxiu hugged Yanxi and comforted her: "It will be fine, you will be better than me."

"Is Miss really bad?" Yan Xi glanced at the room and said in a low voice, "Chu Tianji is really unlucky, and also made Miss suffer. If you say something that Miss doesn't like to hear, you really shouldn't marry him."

Xiuxiu shook his head calmly, signaling Yan Xi not to mention it: "Don't talk about it. Times change and the situation changes drastically. Who would have expected this to happen?"

Speaking of the current situation, Yanxi became happy, and told Xiuxiu what he had seen and heard: "The Quanliang Dynasty is about to enter the era of Xiao Kui, and Concubine Rong will be the Empress Dowager sooner or later. I heard the master tell the second lady secretly, The emperor wants to drive the empress from the throne, and punish her for the crime of wanton cursing and treason. The empress quarreled and insulted all night, and committed suicide by taking poison the next day."

Xiuxiu shuddered, gasped, closed his eyes and said, "What do these things have to do with us? I don't want to hear it, and I don't want to hear it."

The poor eldest prince, whose birth mother died suddenly overnight, and himself was relegated to common people, how did he force himself to smile and go to the barren land?
After Yanxi left, it suddenly snowed in the sky.Er Yuexue, who was caught off guard, made Xiuxiu a little flustered, and hurriedly ordered the servants to pack up the dry clothes in the inner yard, and hurriedly moved the potted flowers outside to the eaves.

"Is it snowing?" Tianji's low voice came from the back room.

Xiuxiu replied loudly: "It's okay, the snow comes and goes quickly."

Tianji sighed and muttered: "If it snows heavily, it will be difficult to go back to my hometown."

After cleaning it up with great difficulty, Xiuxiu walked to the front yard and looked up at the sky again.The snowflakes fluttered and fell silently.The Han Garden was empty, making it even more chilly and lonely.The red lanterns hanging on the gate of the courtyard have long since faded, and the remaining empty willow branches are dancing against the wind. I can't imagine the joyful appearance yesterday.

Someone walked towards her with gentle steps, and while she was still in a daze, he had already stood in front of her, and said softly: "You will catch a cold if you stand like this."

She looked up sleepily, and when she saw him, she froze for a moment, her eyes filled with tears.

"Fourth Highness."

Xiao Hao stared at her, with a gentle smile, gently helped her up: "I'm back again."

It's been a long time since I saw her, why is she so haggard?She has always been beautiful and beautiful in his eyes.Is she having a bad time?Does that Chu Tianji know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade?

He didn't point out, just looked around casually and said: "I heard that you are married to Chu Tianji, I'll come and see you. It seems a bit deserted here."

He is still the same as before, elegant and handsome.He always appeared when she was at a loss, and Xiuxiu suddenly felt that he had no face to face others, and he couldn't help but panic: "Why are you here?"

"Father..." His expression was a little dark, "It seems that it is impossible, I will accompany him. Uncle wants me to stay in Jiangling, I don't know what will happen in the future."

"Are you involuntary too?"

"Yes, you're right, I've never been in control of my own affairs."

"Is it going to be a while this time?"

Xiao Hao pondered, and said: "Maybe. But, we can meet again."

Xiuxiu was a little sad: "Every time I see you, you come and go in a hurry, but now I have to leave before you."

"Where are you going?" Xiao Hao asked in surprise.

"Brother Tianji has an errand in his hometown, I will go with him." Xiuxiu replied flatly.

"Do you want me to send someone to escort you?"

"No need, brother Tianji has two attendants who want to accompany him, a few of us are enough."

Xiao Hao was silent for a moment, then pondered: "Actually, there is no need to leave, spring has already arrived."

Xiuxiu replied sadly: "It's a pity that this kind of spring is not what I need. I am a weak woman, and I can't bear the wind and rain again, and I can't hear the sound of petals breaking. I have to go, I still have to go."

The way she lowered her brows and pondered makes people feel sad, as if a needle fell into her heart, Xiao Hao's heart was in pain, and finally said: "You promised me that when we meet again, you will still be the same person who has no worries and is happy." Happy rest. But, you are like this now..."

But Xiao Kui knew that it was because of him that she married so early?

But Xiuxiu shook his head indifferently: "I'm not worried and happy now, it's just that something happened at home, but it will pass soon."

She smiled, looked up at the sky, and said softly: "It's snowing heavily, Fourth Highness, please go back."

"I have to go, when will I go back and say hello." Xiao Hao replied in a low voice.

Seeing the sparse snowflakes pounced on their faces and landed on her hair, he only patted her lightly.Xiuxiu retreated to the eaves and waved his hand to signal him to leave quickly.

Xiao Hao smiled, then turned around and left.

Near noon, the snow fell more and more heavily, densely covering the majestic imperial city tower, reflecting the scarlet brick wall, a dazzling white.

The dormitory where Liang Emperor Xiao Xi lived was as warm as spring, and the strings of glazed lanterns looked like swimming dragons.The maids and servants came in and out frequently, and the imperial doctor who was carrying the medicine box was busy for a while, and finally bowed out.

The two brothers Xiao Kui and Xiao Hao came out of the dormitory, wrapped tightly in cloaks and walked side by side, the cold wind hit their faces and hurt their bones, but the two of them didn't feel the slightest, and walked all the way to the main building of the heavy gate.

The clouds in the sky surged, and the sifted snow flowed with the wind, slowly unfolding in front of the two of them.

Xiao Kui stood facing the wind, but was silent for a long time.

Standing by his side, Xiao Hao could clearly feel Xiao Kui's changes.Xiao Kui's face became less wild and more serene, perhaps because he wants to be the emperor?

So he said casually: "I went to see Xiuxiu today, Chu Tianji's injury is getting better."

"Really?" Xiao Kui also responded indifferently, "My father said that everything should be weighed before the overall situation. I have punished a group of old ministers who have committed crimes, and sent everyone back to their mansions to recuperate. Chu Tianji is only a fifth class. Little official, there is no need to punish him."

"Third brother convinces others with virtue, who doesn't praise it? Who doesn't appreciate his virtue?" Xiao Hao admired him endlessly, and continued, "It's just that Chu Tianji has done nothing, and it's like chewing wax. Seeing the current situation, he wants to leave Jiangling."

"Where are you going?" Xiao Kui really asked.

"Going back to my hometown, I heard what Xiuxiu said."

Xiao Hao replied indifferently, secretly observing Xiao Kui's expression.Seeing that his face had clearly changed, and his eyes were erratic and dark, he patted him on the shoulder: "I am different from the third brother. If I identify a person, I will always like it. Now that Xiuxiu is a married woman, Although I feel bad, I still wish her well. Since she wants to live a peaceful and peaceful life, there is no need to disturb her."

Xiao Kui raised his eyes to look at the sky, and the frost and snow suddenly rose and fell in his eyes, and was covered by unknown objects only for a moment.He was in a daze for a while, and then asked quietly: "Brother should be here, right?"

"Yes, it's time to arrive." Xiao Hao's eyes flickered, but his expression remained unchanged.

"I'm starting to miss him now." Xiao Kui looked into the distance, his face stained with endless sadness, "During the years when my fourth brother was away, the person closest to me is my elder brother. Eldest brother is handsome and handsome, with kindness and beauty." , is famous for his sincerity. The situation in the court is changing, and a kind-hearted person will not beat around the bush when doing things, and he can't gain a foothold."

"It's something you and I can't do anything about, think about it." Xiao Hao replied in a low voice.

Xiao Kui's hand trembled suddenly, he grasped Xiao Hao's hand hard, his breath became thicker, and he looked calm, "Now it's just me and you. Fourth brother, our blood is thicker than water, and we are in love with each other, right? It will be involved in the court's interests, will it not?"

"Third brother, what are you talking about?" Xiao Hao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly said angrily.

Xiao Kui let go of his hand for a moment, looked at Xiao Hao blankly, and for a long while with a naive smile on his lips, he said: "I was just thinking about it when I was afraid, fourth brother, don't be angry, I will buy you a drink at night."
