Red apricots make spring

Chapter 168 Parting Night
As soon as such thoughts flashed in Gentle's heart, they spread uncontrollably.She wants to be with him, see his smile, listen to his voice, even if she just smells the refreshing breath on his body, she can feel very at ease. If she lives like this for a lifetime, it should be a very peaceful and indifferent happiness. ?But--

Thinking of Lu Ce's identity, Shen Mengyi's love for him, and the emperor's intention to marry the princess, she felt as if someone had poured cold water on her head and made her completely wet!

impossible!As early as when she was in the Zhao Mansion, she knew from the gossip and gossip of the servants and maids that there is a law in these years called "Do not take a concubine as a wife", which means that if a man divorces or dies his wife, even if he remarries Even if you marry one, you can't help the original concubine to become your regular wife, otherwise you will violate the law and you will be sentenced to one and a half years in prison.Therefore, no matter how much Mr. Zhao doted on Li Shi, he did not dare to spoil his concubine and kill his wife, and no matter how arrogant Li Shi was, he had to keep his voice low in front of Su Shi.

As for herself, the identity of this concubine was determined by the emperor himself, so how could there be any room for change?Besides, with Lu Ce's status, it is impossible not to marry a regular wife. Even if he doesn't plan to marry, there are still many people who want to marry, and the elders in his family have to get involved. Maybe one day the emperor's father will marry him on a whim. Can he resist?
One husband, one wife and one concubine, the emotional life of three people is too complicated, she can't handle it, and it is impossible for Lu Ce to like her to the point of pampering her, even if she is shameless and thinks that she can be favored by her Chong, she couldn't overcome the psychological awkwardness, not to mention, where should the regular wife who married him be placed?There is nothing wrong with liking someone, but it would be too pitiful to let that innocent wife stay alone in the vacant room every night and only be a wife in name!

give up!Or give up completely!The trauma of a broken relationship can be healed slowly, but if they torture each other and entangle them to death, it will be a lifetime of pain!

In the darkness, Rourou closed her eyes again and sighed softly.

For the next few days, Rourou was "sick" in bed, Xiaohuan, Mama Wen, and Aunt Liu took turns to take care of her, and occasionally a doctor who was doing nothing would be brought into the mansion to see her doctor, and when he left, he would drive a bunch of people. Potions that smell bad.As for the maids in the mansion, they were all sent away to do other things. If no one summoned them, no one would take half a step near Wen Rou's house. Who made her have this kind of highly contagious smallpox Woolen cloth?Others were afraid to avoid it. Even the clothes she changed were taken by Wen Mama and burned by herself. The maids only knew that Wen Rou had smallpox and was seriously ill.

Lu Ce did not spend the night in her room, but would take time to visit her a few times a day, and then quietly left.On Ye Yu's side, Ruan Wen asked Xiaohuan to ask, but when he heard that Wen Ruan had smallpox, before Xiaohuan finished speaking, he desperately wanted to rush into the mansion to visit, but in the end Xiaohuan desperately held back Only after talking to him about pretending to be sick did he control his emotions a little bit, but he insisted on not staying in the capital anymore and wanted to go with Wen Rou.

go!Where are we going?This question seems simple, but it is actually related to their future life.Rourou hesitated and thought hard for several days, and finally decided to go to Yunzhou. She just wanted to live in peace, and she didn't want to be harassed by hooligans and blackmailed by corrupt officials. It's none of her business, as long as she knows that Mo Wanjiang is a good official, that's enough.

Ten days later, Xiaohuan secretly handed over the three shops in the capital to Lu Ce to take care of, while Ye Yu prepared a lot of food and clothing needed for the road, and even went to the blacksmith's shop to make two daggers to prepare for when the time came. For self-defense, just wait for Xiaohuan to bring him news, and he can leave here with gentleness.

When Ruan Wen was sick for No.15 days, Lu Ce reprimanded the servant Xi Zhu in front of everyone in the house, because Xi Zhu reminded him that his wife was seriously ill, so he should prepare a happy event up.But even though he scolded, Lu Ce did as he said later, and asked someone to prepare a coffin and funeral clothes for the celebration in advance.The news reached Wenrou's ears, even though she knew it was a drama played by Lu Ce and Xizhu, she still felt a little embarrassed.

In the middle of the night, Xi Zhu and Yun Dan secretly carried a large box to Wen Rou's room, but they almost got stuck at the door and couldn't get in, which was a false alarm.After the box was carried into the house, he opened it tenderly and curiously, and was a little bit dumbfounded. It turned out that it contained a medium-sized dead pig that had been washed and stripped clean!
After a while, Lu Ce came in with a lapis lazuli satin cloak, which he said was for Ruan Ruanlu to keep out the cold. After handing it over to her, he stared at her for a long time and said, "Take a rest, it won't be bright until you get up early." just go."

"So soon?" Xiaohuan spent the night with Wenrou this night. She was a little drowsy at first, but when she heard Lu Ce's words, she suddenly became fully awake. Tell him."

"Ye Yu?" Lu Ce frowned slightly. Of course he had heard of this person, but he didn't know that Ye Yu would follow.

"Yeah." Rou Rou nodded and said, "He has no relatives or reasons here, and he said he would go with me. With him, the road will be safer."

Lu Ce also knew that Ye Yu had been learning martial arts all this time. He only pondered for a while, and then said, "You go first, let the coachman drive slowly after leaving the city, and I will let Yun Dan go to Wu The museum will notify him and let him go later."

That's good, otherwise, going in and out of the Lu Mansion in the middle of the night, and knocking on the door of the martial arts hall to call for people, the commotion would be too loud.Rourou thought for a while before agreeing, and opened the box, and found out the two soft packages that had been prepared a long time ago.

"Then I'll go back to my room and tidy up."

Xiaohuan was in a hurry to leave, but she was held back by Wenrou, she shook her head and said, "I can't take you along."

"Didn't it be agreed that everyone would leave?" Xiao Huan wondered.

"Yes, it's just that I'll go first. You and my family will stay here for a while, and then come again." Rourou originally wanted to take her family with her, and it would be convenient to take care of her on the way, but in this way, it would be difficult for outsiders to see her. It's strange, how can there be any reason why someone disappears collectively just after death, and the whole family doesn't even take care of the funeral?

Hearing Rourou's words, Xiaohuan understood after a little thought, but she was still a little worried, and said with a worried look: "There are only you and Ye Yu on the road, will there be any danger?"

"No way." Rourou was full of thoughts at the moment, and comforted her with a forced smile: "Didn't Ye Yu learn martial arts? Even if there is any danger, you can always escape by protecting me." Besides, here is another It's not the world of martial arts, where you can meet green forest robbers or martial arts masters when you go out, at best, you just meet two or three small thieves on the road, she thinks that her luck has not yet been robbed every time she goes out.

"Then I'll go and prepare some dry food for you on the road." For some reason, Xiaohuan couldn't relax at the thought of saying goodbye to Rourou. mood.

This time, it was Lu Ce who stopped her and said, "No need, everything you need on the road is ready in the car. You should rest for a while, get up early tomorrow, and you have a lot of things to do."

He said, raised his eyes and looked at Wen Rou again, and finally said nothing, only took Xi Zhu and Yun Dan out.

After they left, Rourou and Xiaohuan lay back on the bed and went to sleep, but for a while, neither of them could fall asleep. The two chatted leisurely, talking about what happened in the Zhao Mansion back then, and the days when they moved to Kyoto , are a little disappointed.Talking and talking, after all, Xiaohuan didn't often stay up late, although she was preoccupied, she still fell asleep.

Wen Rou softly called her twice, but she didn't hear her answer. Knowing that she was fast asleep, she put on her clothes and got out of bed, lit the lamp, took a piece of paper and sat down at the table to write something to Lu Ce, but thought about it for a long time , still didn’t start writing, fearing that the letter would fall into someone else’s hands, which would cause another layer of trouble, so he put away the paper, took a handkerchief, and wrapped the jade hairpin that Lu Ce gave her and the jade bracelet that Lu Chenzhou gave her. Inside, tucked under the pillow.

After doing all this, she couldn't fall asleep anymore, she just slowly changed into men's clothes, tied up her hair, sat by the bed, and watched the time pass by.When the cock crowed for the first time, someone knocked lightly on the door twice. Rourou knew it was time to leave, so she suppressed her full stomach, took a deep breath, and went outside to open the door.
