In Chu Sheng's military camp, all the guards were on alert, and Chu Sheng and Xiaolu had already arrived outside the military camp. At this moment, Liu Xin had already learned about this and rushed over in a fog.
He had never liked Yin Zixu. In his eyes, half of the disasters in the world were caused by that beauty.
Liu Xin led everyone towards Chu Sheng's military camp with a fierce look on his face. His purpose was very clear, which was to return the jade to Zhao intact. On the way, he was bumped into by Xiaolu, who quickly organized him.
The little deer strode towards Liu Xin, but it took a lot of effort to pull Liu Xin down.
Liu Xin's martial arts is not high, but his temper is also very stubborn, and he is old. If the deer makes too much noise, Liu Xin will be injured.
"Let go!" Liu Xin angrily yelled at the little deer who kept letting go and pulling at his cuffs, "What are you doing?"
"Sir!" Facing the furious Liu Xin, Xiaolu hurriedly held him back, refusing to let go. "Don't be impulsive. We must consider this matter in the long run."
"Let go!" Liu Xin was still running forward, as if he would not give up if he failed to achieve his goal this time. "General Lu, let go quickly. There is no proper way to pull and pull in the military camp."
"Sir!" Xiaolu persuaded Liu Xin, while winking at Mr. Chu, "Your Majesty, please say something! Look at how anxious Mr. is because of your affairs, and you are still Stand there seriously, we are not acting here."
Chu Sheng suddenly came back to his senses, shook his head, and quickly said to Liu Xin: "Sir, this time everything happened because of me. We really need to sit down and have a good discussion."
After saying that, Chu Sheng came over, and Liu Xin became less excited, but he still refused to talk around it.
He said: "This happened all because of her. It is really unexpected that such a thing could happen in the court. If word spreads, it will become a joke to the whole world. A man, three wives and four Concubine is a common thing in the world, but this woman can hide her identity to serve another man without any divorce letter, and that man is actually the real dragon emperor. Hey, I am really afraid that if this spreads out, it will make people unhappy. People in the world laugh their teeth out."
The sigh in Liu Xin's mouth made Xiaolu feel a little uncomfortable. Somehow, she suddenly didn't understand, and even sympathized with the woman who couldn't make a choice from the bottom of her heart.
A woman in this world is not anyone’s accessory. Why should she be an alternative in a political regime? What’s wrong with her breaking away from her prison and choosing to embrace the one she loves
"Things have happened." Xiaolu's tone changed obviously, "Sir, it's useless for you to blame anyone now. Why do you have to blame that woman? Besides, why do you have to rely on other people's words to judge Ling Fei? Where is the former Empress Zixu? There is no basis for it, maybe it is just a lie that the opponent easily picked up."
Even she herself didn't believe what Xiaoluzi said, but she worked hard to protect the poor woman in the palace. At this moment, she no longer had the position of a general.
The position she stands on is that of a woman.
Just a woman who dares to love, hate, and chase.
Why does a woman who has the courage to love, who is the most beautiful woman in the world, suddenly become the target of public criticism? From her own point of view, she is right, but in the eyes of thousands of men, She was wrong.
Or, in the beginning, she was just a victim of this political war.
"Shut up!" Xiaolu's words successfully attracted Liu Xin's attention. He gave Xiaoluzi a hard look. From his eyes, there was nothing but contempt, "General Lu, when did you actually Becoming so emotional! Do you know what this woman brought us? It is very likely that it is war and divisions within the court. It is very likely that thousands of our soldiers are outside and their wives and children are at home. You understand this Does it mean anything?"
Xiaolu nodded, her brows furrowed in a blink of an eye, and she looked forward helplessly. She said, "Sir, what you mean is that when they miss home, it is very likely that they will no longer have a home. But..."
She still wanted to struggle for something. At this moment, she was not the only one who was conflicted. Chu Sheng was also conflicted and at a loss.
One is a woman he feels ashamed of, and the other is a country he cannot let down. In this confusion of right and wrong, who is wrong
"Go on!" Liu Xin ordered Xiaolu.
After sorting out her thoughts, Xiaolu's mood had become calmer. From time to time, she raised her head and looked into the curtain, feeling in her heart what kind of sad woman lived inside.
It seemed that the woman was facing Shen Jianfeng himself.
"Let's help her." Xiao Lu said lightly.
Somehow, she said something that the general should not have said. Such emotional words would make people look down upon her in the eyes of anyone.
"She needs our help." Seeing Chu Sheng and Liu Xin's expressions of disbelief, she continued: "Your Majesty, you owe her this, so it's time to pay her back. Now that you know she's back, you owe her It's time to pay her back. And Mr. Liu Xin, you were the one who pushed her out in the first place. It's time for us to pay her back."
"Nonsense!" Liu Xin refused to admit his mistake, and his expression became more severe.
Xiaolu saw all this, but she still held Liu Xin tightly with one hand to prevent him from leaving on impulse. In addition, her face was full of calm. She said to the two of them: "Not only you, Even I owe her. The so-called destiny means that one day the Blue Blood Sword will fall into my hands? From this point of view, I am the one who owes her the most. Well, no matter what you decide, I decided to help her. Let her make the best choice about herself."
"Xiaolu." Chu Sheng was stunned for a moment. This man who had experienced countless women always had words he couldn't say in front of Xiaolu. Once upon a time, he had thought about this problem countless times. He didn't even understand that he was facing What kind of emotion does she have? He has never felt like the kind of women in the deep palace. Although he is always considerate to them, he still wants something after all. It can also be said that you are good and I am good. Everyone is happy. good.
But facing Xiaoluzi, he never knew what she really wanted, so he couldn't give her what she wanted. Among many problems and decisions, this seemingly petite woman, among many burly men, In front of him, he looked so crisp and independent.
A few years ago, he had been obsessed with Yin Zixu's beauty and gentleness, but what she could give him was what every woman in the palace could give him.
A few years later, without Yin Zixu, there were still a lot of women around him, but he no longer coveted those seemingly beautiful things. He began to learn to appreciate a woman, watch her smile, Seeing that she was always silent and depressed, he always wanted to enter her world, but it seemed that he was always shut out. Later, he understood that he had fallen in love with that woman. On top of that, a bit of admiration was added.
So now, he has no way to turn around and love that woman named Yin Zixu. He can give her a status, give her countless glory and aura, but he can no longer distinguish his love, so he can no longer love her. I can't give her what I want most.
But he couldn't say.
He has expressed his concerns to Xiaoluzi too many times, but in her eyes, he just wants to play house with her and show off his affection.
After a long silence, Chu Sheng smiled at Xiaolu and Liu Xin, and said, "Just do what General Lu said."
When Liu Xin heard this, he couldn't figure out what the current Yin Zixu had done, which fascinated His Majesty.
"Sir." Chu Sheng nodded to Liu Xin, and after looking at Xiaolu, he made a difficult decision, "All of this happened because of me. The only person who can untie the bell is me. I believe she won’t listen to anything you say. She has suffered enough trauma over the years. If we make things worse again, it is very likely that Zixu will not be able to think about it. He is a kind and weak woman. Marching and fighting, it is us. Why should you blame a woman for everything that happened to a man?"
"Yeah." It wasn't until today that Xiaolu saw a different Chu Sheng. This tall and burly man exuded that charming light for the first time. This was before on the battlefield and in the imperial court. Unprecedented, she smiled and said, "Then, please respect Zixu's thoughts."
Just now, Liu Xinxin was very energetic. Suddenly he stopped struggling and his face was not so green. He suddenly became calm. He glanced at Xiaolu and shook his head, but he couldn't say anything. Did not say.
Chu Sheng walked towards the tent step by step with heavy steps. He was always thinking about what he was going to say and what he couldn't say, but when he thought about it, his heart began to get entangled. Inside the curtain, although Concubine Ling kept grinding, she had already heard the conversation outside. Her tears couldn't stop flowing, and along her white hands, drops fell on the clear red desk table.
The way she cried was just like Lin Daiyu who looked at things and spoke in silence.
At this moment, she wished her time had no end.
Xiaolu gently put down Liu Xin's sleeves, took a step back, lowered his head slightly, and said respectfully to Liu Xin: "Sir, I was rude just now. If I offended you in any way, please forgive me." You punish.”
"The emperor breaks the law and the common people are equally guilty." Liu Xin waved his sleeves and said decisively: "As you are the general of an army, then I will be punished with twenty lashes. Let me ask you, do you agree?"
"Yes!" Xiaolu replied quickly.
"Come here!" Liu Xin said firmly, "I'll be punished!"
