Chapter 312
Ruan Zhuqi had already heard a general idea from these words, and said in surprise: "Your Majesty has abandoned the soldiers of the Northern Qi Dynasty, how can we have any chance of winning this battle?"

Xuan Shidu remained silent, looking forward indifferently. "Your Majesty?" Ruan Zhuqi tugged at Xuan Shidu's cuffs and said, "Your Majesty is unwilling to stay on the battlefield because of my concubine? If so, the concubine can leave on her own. Your Majesty will go back to General Hulu immediately! "

"It's too late." Xuan Shidu smiled lightly, put his arms around Ruan Zhuqi, and said, "The Northern Qi Dynasty is already crumbling in Gao Zhan's hands, but people like Hu Luguang hope that I can stabilize it. How can there be such an ability that can make the Northern Qi, which has been hard-won, take on a new look?"

"Your Majesty can't, but you don't want to!" Ruan Zhuqi had heard Qian Ao say that Xuan Shi did not like the smoky Northern Qi court, "When the prince was alive, he said that with His Majesty's talent, he wanted to stabilize the country and make contributions. It's not difficult. It's just that His Majesty likes to be unruly and uninhibited, and he doesn't want to do these things."

"Do you remember every word he said clearly?" Xuan Shidu suddenly looked at Ruan Zhuqi, and there seemed to be something flickering in his eyes.Ruan Zhuqi was stopped by this sudden question and couldn't answer for a while.

Xuan Shidu gave a pale smile, and said: "Everyone says that I don't want to do these things for Beiqi. No one believes that I really can't do it. Xu, don't you even believe that I can't do it? But I really can't do it." Here we go!"

"Xuan Shidu, you can do it. We can't leave. If we leave, we really won't have another chance!" Ruan Zhuqi looked at Xuan Shidu firmly.

Xuan Shidu smiled lightly, and said: "You are reluctant to see Ruan Wenyong suffer a little bit, but do you know that if this war is lost, Ruan Wenyong's self-esteem will be greatly hit. Look behind, we have already lost!"

Ruan Zhuqi heard the words and wanted to look behind him, but the soldiers of the Qi army dropped their weapons one by one and fled in a hurry. In an instant, more than half of the 7 troops were lost. "Don't think about it, let's go back to the palace!" Xuan Shidu reached out and covered Ruan Zhuqi's eyes.

The chariot returned to the south gate of Ye City non-stop from outside Jinyang City.Han Changluan got the news early and waited at the city gate. "Your Majesty's return like this has had a great impact on our army's morale. I learned that General Rong Xihua's side Luoyang has also fallen. Now General Rong Xihua and General Hou Liangzhe will rush back to Yecheng as soon as possible to defend the imperial capital."

"I see." Xuan Shidu replied lightly, and led Ruan Zhuqi towards the palace gate.

"Your Majesty!" Han Changluan rushed to Xuan Shidu, knelt down suddenly, and said, "At this moment, the morale of the army is not stable, and His Majesty needs to comfort you. I have written a statement for Your Majesty, and I hope Your Majesty will memorize it. When the soldiers of the three armies arrive , and preached to the soldiers at the city gate!"

"I'm tired!" Xuan Shidu frowned slightly, unwilling to talk to Han Changluan, and pulled Ruan Zhuqi to speed up his pace.

"Xuan Shidu!" Ruan Zhuqi held Xuan Shidu and persuaded him, "Chang Luan is right. At this moment, the Zhou army's military spirit is at its peak. If we lose our momentum, it will be difficult to defend against the enemy. Xuan Shidu, this Once, I really can't lose again!"

Lose again?If you lose again, the city of Ye will be destroyed, and Northern Qi will perish!

Xuan Shidu looked at Ruan Zhuqi steadfastly, and suddenly asked, "I ask you, have you ever had a place for me in your heart?"

"Xuan Shidu..." Ruan Zhuqi was speechless, she couldn't figure out her own heart at this moment, "What time is it, why do you still have the heart to ask me these things! Bei Qi is dead, what do you do? What should we do? Fourth Uncle won't let you go!"

Although Ruan Zhuqi is well aware of Ruan Wenyong's love for her, but because she also knows Ruan Wenyong, she knows that Ruan Wenyong will not give the opponent any chance to stand up.If Ruan Wenyong really broke through Yecheng, Xuan Shidu and Gao Heng would not be left alive, even if Gao Heng was Ruan Zhuqi's son!Because they are alive, they are a threat to Ruan Wenyong.

"Why would he let you go?" Xuan Shidu recalled what Liu Wenyu had said to Ruan Zhuqi.

"What?" Xuan Shidu's voice was too low just now, Ruan Zhuqi didn't hear it at all.

Xuan Shidu laughed a few times, and said: "It's nothing, I just asked you, but you still hate me and blame me for Brother Qianao's matter?"

hate it?complain?Ruan Zhuqi couldn't express her specific feelings, thought for a long time, and said, "It's wrong for you to treat him like that."

"So you have been together with Han Changluan all these years to ruin the court of the Northern Qi Dynasty, just to wait for the day when Ruan Wenyong raises his troops to destroy me? Aren't you going to avenge Brother Qianao?" Xuan Shidu smiled helplessly However, she still looked at Ruan Zhuqi tenderly.

he knows!He knows it all!Ruan Zhuqi's eyes widened, she couldn't believe that he knew her intentions all these years. "You know? You know, why don't you stop me?"

"If you like to ruin the country, then do it; if you like to see Ruan Wenyong destroy me, then let Ruan Wenyong do it! Everything I have, I just need to change your smile. Xu, tell me, all these years By my side, can you really be happy for a moment?" Xuan Shidu held Ruan Zhuqi's hand, looking forward to Ruan Zhuqi's answer, even a small nod would be enough.

"Why?" Ruan Zhuqi felt that all this was too unbelievable. Why did this man indulge her like this?
"because……"

"Report..." The spy's announcement interrupted Xuan Shidu's answer, "Report to Your Majesty! General Hulu died in battle!"

Hu Luguang had thought countless times that one day he would die in battle, but he never thought that this day would come when the Northern Qi soldiers needed him the most.Hou Liangzhe watched Hu Luguang's head being chopped off by Huang Xian from a distance, and he clearly saw that Hu Luguang's eyes were full of unwillingness and worry.

On the city tower, the setting sun dragged the figures of the two women long.Ruan Zhuqi stood silently behind Hu Lulan, not saying a word for an hour.An hour ago, when Hu Lulan received the news of Hu Luguang's death in battle, she didn't cry or make a fuss, but ran to the tower and stood motionless.

"Is my sister tired? I just came back, and I haven't had a short rest yet, so I have to stand here with my sister for an hour." Hu Lulan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke.

"I'm not tired, it's just Xiaolan..." Ruan Zhuqi had never encountered such a situation, she didn't know what to say to comfort Hu Lulan.Although Ruan Zhuqi no longer has feelings for Hu Luguang, she still recognizes Hu Lulan as her sister, and she has recognized this sister all her life.

Hu Lulan didn't turn around, but always turned her back to Ruan Zhuqi, and said: "At that time, my sister was pregnant with a child, and Fu Que was killed by He Shikai. My father was afraid that my sister would conflict with the Queen Mother's people if she knew the truth, so I would rather not Conceal the cause of Fu Que's death, and don't want my sister to take any risks. Later, He Shikai died at the hands of her sister, and Tai Ji used this incident to stir up the empress dowager's dissatisfaction with her sister. Father thought for a long time before he came up with a plan If you want to say that the fetus in my sister's womb belongs to the prince, the purpose is to send my sister out of the palace. After leaving the palace, my sister will no longer bewitch your majesty, and the empress dowager can't hurt my sister even if she wants to. I took my sister from Yuanfu Palace to Han Guangdian, I told my sister that there is a secret room in Hanguang Palace where I can hide. In fact, there is no secret room, but Dad dug a secret passage to the outside of the palace overnight. Dad just wanted to send my sister out of the palace, otherwise my sister would think that Xiaolan's Skill, can you really deal with so many warriors?"

Ruan Zhuqi was stunned, and couldn't accept Hu Lulan's words for a while.

Hu Lulan continued: "At that time, my sister insisted on being a traitor concubine, and my father was angry and heartbroken. I wished I could slap my sister to wake me up. But in the end, my father was still reluctant to beat my sister. After all, my father is sincere to my sister." love."

"Xiao Lan..." Ruan Zhuqi had a sore nose, not expecting the truth to be like this, "I was wrong, I was really wrong."

"Where does my sister really understand her fault?" Hu Lulan turned around slowly, her eyes were pity Ruan Zhuqi, "I have been married to His Majesty, and His Majesty has never touched me. Not only me, Feng Xiaolian , Mu Xuelin, and all the wives and concubines of His Majesty in name in this palace are all still intact."

Ruan Zhuqi trembled violently, and hurriedly said: "Impossible! Xuan Shidu often goes to Feng Xiaolian's palace to spend the night!"

"Go often?" Hu Lulan looked at Ruan Zhuqi sneeringly, "Sister said often, did you go there for two or three days a year? Do you know why Your Majesty is going to Feng Xiaolian's place?"

For some reason, Ruan Zhuqi dared not look into Hu Lulan's eyes.

"Because Feng Xiaolian is the most infatuated with His Majesty, she will do whatever His Majesty says to Feng Xiaolian. Your Majesty stays at the Golden Spring Palace just to tell Feng Xiaolian about the sorrow that your sister has brought to His Majesty. What does my sister think it is?" Hu Lulan approached Ruan Zhuqi step by step, "My sister is extremely intelligent, do you really not understand His Majesty's mind?"

"I..." Ruan Zhuqi closed her eyes tightly, tears streaming down her face, "I know!"

"No! Elder sister doesn't know!" Hu Lulan has never been so excited like today, "Elder sister not only doesn't know His Majesty's intentions, elder sister can't even understand her own intentions! Elder sister deliberately alienates Heng'er for the same reason Are you hiding the fact that you are in love with His Majesty?!"

"No!" Ruan Zhuqi was forced to roar.

"Yes!" Hu Lulan ignored Ruan Zhuqi's emotions, and continued, "Sister, ask yourself, how much does the prince have in my sister's heart? If my sister really cares about the prince, how come after Fu Que's death, why did you never return to the prince?" Did you send someone to clean the prince's tomb?"

Ruan Zhuqi kept her eyes open and said nothing, she didn't want to admit that she never took care of Qian Ao's tomb.

After talking about it, Hu Lulan gradually calmed down, and after a while, she said to Ruan Zhuqi: "Daddy is dead, sister let sister go!"

"where are you going?"

"Go to a place far away from the troubles of the world of mortals, sister, please help me!" Hu Lulan sighed, there is indeed nothing to miss here.

After a long time, Ruan Zhuqi said with difficulty: "Okay, I promise you. I don't care where you go, but I want my people to take you there. Now the war is chaotic, although you can do some kung fu, you are still a woman after all."

Hu Lulan nodded lightly, and walked slowly down the tower.

"Xiao Lan!" Ruan Zhuqi yelled suddenly, Hu Lulan turned her head and heard her say, "No matter where you are, you will always be my sister! Hu Luguang will always be our father!"
