Chen Palace

Chapter 133 Midnight (asking for a monthly pass)

When the emperor came to the south gate, the slender waning moon had already climbed over the treetops. In the mottled shadows of the branches and leaves, he could only see the silvery white moon shadow, which was only a curved line, looming in the forest.

At this time, above the forest sea, there are stars weaving, the sky and the Milky Way are vast, like a river tide floating, sweeping through the void, above all living things, as if pitying the world, and as if, for thousands of years, looking at each other coldly, honor and disgrace are ups and downs , joys and sorrows.

The emperor looked towards the city wall, but saw a slender figure standing alone on top of the majestic and solemn.

At this time, under the dim light of the stars, the beautiful woman is dressed in white clothes, and the breeze is blowing, and I don't know how many clouds and clear dews are contaminated.

He stopped following left and right, and walked up alone.

The morning dew stands against the wind, letting her clothes flutter gently, and her skirt is loose and drooping. From a low point, she looks like a secluded snow lotus, which seems to be in full bloom. Boundless loneliness.

The emperor held his breath, as if he didn't want to wake up anything, and approached slowly.

"What are you doing here?"

His voice is elegant and mellow, just like the boy who flew to catch her in the last years of Jing Le...

How long ago was that, and why, it seems that only a moment passed? !

Chen Lu turned around and took a look, but that familiar yet unfamiliar face pierced fiercely into her heart and turned into a sharp knife, crushing everything, leaving only a thousand holes.

She closed her eyes slightly and said, "I'm just a little tired..."

The emperor stepped forward, stood shoulder to shoulder with her, and said softly: "It is my incompetence that caused you to run around this time."

His eyes sparkled in the dark night, full of worry, love, and self-blame. At this moment, the stars all over the sky were eclipsed by this brilliance.

"Why do you blame yourself so much?"

Chen Lu looked at him and smiled wryly: "Actually, I just did something very important."

"...?"

"King Jing sent people to rescue King Ping, and their hiding place was found out just now through reconnaissance—but I let him go."

The emperor's eyes flickered, he thought silently for a while, and said, "He's still useful, isn't he?"

"You don't doubt me at all?"

Yuan Qi smiled back, he looked at the starry sky, and said openly: "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't entrust the lifeline of the capital to you."

"I've lived up to your expectations—King Ping's escape is like a dragon entering an abyss, and he can no longer recover—the first thing he does when he returns to the fief is to prevent King Xiang Lin Kuang from expanding his ambitions. You can wait and see how it changes.”

After Yuan Qi heard it, his eyes flashed, and he seemed to be amazed. When he opened his mouth, it was a completely different topic——

"You stand here, but you look so melancholy and uncomfortable..."

Listening to the concern in his words, Chen Lu smiled slightly, with a different kind of charm and mischievousness, and a touch of melancholy——

"Actually, I just want to stay on the city wall for a while..."

Her eyes were far away and blurred, and she caressed this section of blue bricks and boulders with her hands, and couldn't bear to let go for a long time.

No matter how time goes by, she will never forget that this is the place where she fought with Hulu in her previous life, fell down, and was caught by Yuan Xu...

Time flies by, people have changed, now after the fierce battle, how can it not be surprising to see this section of the city wall again?

"Did you remember something..."

The emperor was keen by nature, and asked softly under his gaze.

Chen Lu responded lightly, and the two fell into a long silence.

At this time, between the Milky Way and the Han Dynasty, there is a faint beauty of Yu Qiong, and under the glint of the stars, the two people on the high wall of the city are left behind and independent, as if there is no third person to melt into.

"Why don't you ask me what happened in the past?"

After a while, Chen Lu broke the silence.

"Everyone has a valley in his heart, what's the point of forcibly opening it up...I'm just regretting it,"

The emperor stared at her deeply, and said from the bottom of his heart: "I'm sorry, why the first person to meet you was not me."

After Chenlu listened, she remained silent.

She lowered her head, as if she didn't hear this sentence, her trembling eyelashes covered all her emotions.

This sentence is enough!
The wind was getting stronger, and at first it was extraordinarily refreshing, but gradually, like dew soaking deeply, it seemed to be cool to the bone.

"It's the first autumn wind..."

Chen Lu looked up at the sky, feeling the coolness of the sky, she murmured slightly.

The emperor took off his cloak, put it on carefully for her, and brushed a strand of messy hair from her temples as far as he could with his fingers.

He didn't say a word, just took out the emerald jade flute from his sleeve and brought it to his lips.

The sobbing sound of the flute was actually the song Chen Lu played for the first time. On this towering city wall, the sound was clear and mysterious, floating in the night.

Although the tune is the same, when the emperor blew it, it was more earthly and warm.

This warmth spread far and wide, and gradually penetrated into the heart, making people's thoughts relaxed.

The starlight blurred each other's faces, and the long hair was blown away by the wind. At this moment, it seemed that everything in the world had fallen into a sweet sleep.

Amidst the sound of the faint flute, the long day came to an end quietly when the night passed by.

****
On the second day, the emperor ascended the throne, with a peaceful face and no anger. He consoled several important officials and gave palace satin and silk to the frightened relatives. Sun Ming dealt with it.

Seeing this posture, the six ministers and nine ministers knew that there was something wrong, and they didn't dare to ask, but the clan's mansion could not escape this encounter, so the supervisor could only tremblingly beg to see him, and asked the emperor for a regulation.

"Why do you need to ask me?!"

After hearing the report, the emperor was surprised and displeased: "King An intends to seek rebellion, and he raised troops in the capital to cause chaos. If such a madman is not imprisoned in the prison, why should he set up a quiet room and enshrine him as a bodhisattva?" ?"

Seeing the emperor's complexion, the chief official had no choice but to retreat. Those who were wise and careful in the court thought that the emperor didn't mention this rebellion in order to make a difference. Now seeing this posture, he suddenly fell into a fog and was at a loss as to what to do.

In the capital city, although it was affected by the chaos, the main damages were the south gate of the outer city and the area around the Shenwu gate in the front court. Although the common people talked a lot, they gradually calmed down after a few days.

A few days later, a piece of urgent news from Liubaili, like a bolt from the blue, shocked the government and the public——

"Is this what Prince Ping is for?"

The emperor stroked the memorial and asked sideways.
