Futile Calculations

Chapter 70

Views:

When Murong Lei was famous in the capital, the second prince, Murong Yan, was just a slender boy in white clothes. His mother and concubine from the Southern Dynasty had just passed away, and the ministers of the court suggested to the emperor to send this prince who was of Southern Dynasty blood out of the palace. At that time, Chen Yubai was still a young disciple of the National Teacher's Mansion, dressed in black, aloof and withdrawn, far from being known as an exile. At that time, Ji Nan, the great general who is now bravely crowning the three armies, was still young, and he couldn't even hold Fang Tianji.

It was the era when Murong Lei was alone, Wen Ke could write a thousand words, use martial arts to quell the chaos in the frontier, and he had nothing to do to play with the group of rich and noble youths in Shangjing City. The group of usually suave teenagers paled in comparison. Once he rode his horse into the city out of excitement, and swaggered past the city in the blood-red sunset. The strong evening wind blew up his purple hair, and his handsome purple eyes were filled with the light of the sunset in the sky. How many girls fainted to the ground after he raised their eyebrows at the side of the road. That's really the angry horse in fresh clothes and the young hero.

On the second day, all the teenagers in the city dyed their hair with Zilanhua, followed his example and rode through the city on horseback.

How can you learn it? That is the eldest son of the current Holy Majesty, the grandnephew of the Empress Dowager Duanmi, with the best blood of the Murong Clan and the Qianmi Clan, with such extraordinary talent, he can be called a young hero.

But the best time for a young man, of course, is not just the one in Da Macheng - since he is a young hero, he naturally needs a peerless pearl to match him.

And Gu Mingzhu at that time was definitely worthy of a match.

I have seen so many secret envoys in the capital, all of whom are beauties with purple hair and purple eyes. Qin Sang, who was so overwhelmed by the country and the city later, was nothing but a peerless beauty, but Gu Mingzhu was a dazzling pearl—the princes and nobles might dare to covet Qin Sang, but no one would dare to show courteousness to Gu Mingzhu.

How many secret envoys were manipulated by the Empress Dowager Duanmi, only Gu Mingzhu was an exception.

What a good time it was, the hottest young man, the most eye-catching pearl in the world, flowers and wine, happy love and hatred.

When the relationship was good, Gu Mingzhu once asked Murong Lei: "If one day the Murong clan and the Qianmi clan turned against each other, what would you do?"

At that time, the spring atmosphere was strong outside the city, looking around at the green mountains and green waters, with her by her side, Murong Lei was very happy, and he didn't think too much: "Mingzhu, my name is Murong."

Yes, his surname is Murong, and he is the eldest son of Murong Tianxia. Although his mother and concubine passed away early, Murong Tianxia is very fond of this talented eldest son. Murong Lei's martial arts was taught by Murong Tianxia himself, and the relationship between father and son is very good.

After hearing this, Gu Mingzhu smiled slightly while riding on the horse, but said nothing.

He is so high-spirited, he deserves the brightest and most beautiful things in this world, she really doesn't want to tell him the filth of those ghosts and ghosts in the dark night.

How about... have wine tonight and get drunk tonight.

Thinking about it later, I was too young at the time.

She thought that love and hatred were just a matter between him and her, but she didn't expect that there would be one more person.

That night when Gu Mingzhu came out of the Qianmi Palace, her hands and feet were cold, and the door of the palace behind her was slowly closed, and the ecstatic laughter of the Empress Dowager Duanmi was still in my ears: "Great! This is the eldest grandson of the emperor! With the eldest grandson in hand, the grand plan of rejuvenating the country is sure to win! The Ai family has always worried that Lei'er is too strong, and has a lot of admiration for the emperor... Now that I have this child, it is so wonderful!"

Gu Mingzhu didn't speak, just stood by her hand and smiled slightly.

She knew in her heart: this child must not be allowed to fall into the hands of the Empress Dowager Duanmi.

The Qianmi family has been in business for a hundred years, and Duanmi is a legitimate empress dowager. The emperor will not touch her easily, but will only target them small soldiers. She is afraid that she will not be able to keep this child.

Of course, if Murong Lei knew, he would be ecstatic to marry her immediately, would not hesitate to turn against Murong and Qianmi for her, and would even take her away without hesitation.

But she can't let him know - she knows Murong Lei too well, he adores his father so much! He was trained in the court at a young age, practiced martial arts and fought in the battlefield. He tried his best to imitate his wise and powerful father, and a word of praise from Murong Tianxia could make him happy for a month.

Murong Lei, how proud he is that he has the blood of the Murong clan.

And she also knows... He has a deep affection for her.

That high-spirited young man never gave up on either side between his father and his deep affection. He redoubled his efforts to make meritorious deeds, hoping that Murong Tianxia would agree to their marriage. He once held her in the gentle spring night With a joyful face, he said: "When I come back from the war in the northern kingdom, and the emperor rewards me for my merits, I will marry you."

She couldn't let such a high-spirited young man make a cruel choice. She knew too well that he would choose her and the child without hesitation, and she knew too well that it would cause him pain and death for the rest of his life.

Why bother

She, Gu Mingzhu, is not a secular woman.

She wants the person she loves to live well, so she does not hesitate to give up love.

She left without hesitation. There has been no news for seven years.

She went to the North Country, a place Murong Lei never expected her to go to. She gave birth to Xiao Shitou there, and Xiao Shitou lived very well in the Northern Kingdom. The whole Northern Kingdom knew that there was a very favored young son in the Prince Regent's mansion. I only love the little son whose biological mother is unknown. How many people even begged in front of Little Shitou, spoiling the little guy so much that he ran back to Daye alone to find his father!

Gu Mingzhu told the little guy: His father was the most prominent man in the capital. So after some inquiries, the little guy ran to the second prince's mansion to find his father... Unfortunately, at that time, His Highness the second prince was conniving behind closed doors after being punished by the emperor, so he couldn't go in. At that time, the Empress Dowager Duanmi was eyeing the Zhennan Prince's Mansion covetously, so the Second Prince's Mansion naturally sent out eyes and ears. The little stone with purple hair and purple eyes looked like a child of the Qianmi clan, and was undoubtedly taken into the palace by the Empress Dowager Duanmi. .

The little guy has exactly the same eyebrows and eyes as Murong Lei, and the Empress Dowager Duanmi knew what was going on at a glance. She imprisoned the little guy in the palace secretly and took care of it herself. At that time, the map to go back to Qianmi Holy Land was almost assembled. She fantasized about making this little guy the little emperor and revitalizing the Qianmi clan.

Gu Mingzhu came from the northern country day and night, and brought the token of love that Murong Lei gave her at the beginning—Suzaku Token. She found Lord Qilin, one of the five Lords of the Dark Night who guarded the night, and exchanged her son with the Order of Suzaku.

But at that time, Murong Lei had four ribs broken by Chen Yubai, and her life was hanging by a thread, she had no choice but to see him.

Once the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win but there are countless in the world.

She was never able to go again.

What's more, Shangjing at this time is no longer what it was when she left—His Highness the Second Prince's spring breeze has swept thousands of young girls into the boudoir, and the cold-faced boy she teased as a child back then is already a well-known National Normal University in Shangjing. People, the first god of the night will be a sixteen-year-old girl disguised as a man. The stunning girl she silently gave her when she was leaving was already a thousand secret envoys who have overwhelmed the country and the city.

And Murong Lei, who passed through Dama City back then and had purple hair all over the city, has become a useless person after seven years of absurdity...

At night when it was all the rage, she lay on his bedside, as if she was going to shed all the tears in her life. She regretted it, regretted it, and hated herself.

She asked him: "Why haven't you forced the poison out of your body for seven years? Murong Lei, are you taking revenge on me with your own life?"

He lay on the couch, unwilling to even look at her, and his voice was very calm: "This has nothing to do with you."

"Listen well—" Gu Mingzhu raised her head suddenly, her purple eyes were full of anger, "From today onwards, you are not allowed to drink any more alcohol, and you must drink even a bowl of medicine prescribed by the imperial doctor—shut up! Don't talk! You foxes All my drinking friends have been driven away by me, and they are not allowed to come to the door again in the future!"

"After?" he asked, "After what?"

He knew that there were sweets to eat but deliberately pretended to be calm, which was exactly the same as Xiao Shitou.

Gu Mingzhu couldn't help sighing, she had already decided the rest of her life in just a moment, she leaned over and kissed him gently on the forehead.

"I'm not leaving... you're fine, I'm not leaving..."

Her promise is a hundred times more effective than the imperial doctor's medicine.

Murong Lei got better day by day, even though he still refused to look her in the eye, he gradually became more energetic, and even took the post of warlord in the capital, and even went to watch the excitement on the day when the Master of the State Council snatched the bride.

But the excitement was not regarded as a son.

That day, Murong Lei's anger was like a raging wave, and he was suddenly the brave god of war who had beheaded eighteen generals in the northern battlefield. That day the Great Prince's mansion was shaken, Gu Mingzhu simply avoided showing up and pushed her son out.

The little guy was already sleepy at that time, and he was sobered up by his father's roar that spread throughout the house. He rubbed his eyes and asked him whether to cry or not: "Dad doesn't like me, so is he angry?"

The monstrous waves of anger from His Royal Highness suddenly turned into tender fingers.

Murong Lei knelt down on one knee and reached out to hug him, not knowing how to express the complexity in his heart.

"No... how could Daddy not like you!" Murong Lei hugged him, and even spoke loudly to scare him, "Daddy is angry with your mother, and now he brought you to Daddy's side!"

"Don't be like this, men shouldn't argue with women." The little guy told him solemnly: "This is what Fang Feichi said when my mother beat me—does Daddy know Fang Feichi? He is the regent of the North Border Kingdom, He's great!"

Murong Lei gritted his teeth: "Dad, of course, knows, knows!"

The defeated general under his command back then dared to occupy his wife and children for seven full years! For this vengeance, he also has to cheer himself up, go into battle, and crush the northern kingdom!

Seeing his furious hair about to stand on end, Xiao Shitou patted him on the shoulder very manly to comfort him: "Okay, okay, I didn't bother with her when I was beaten by mother, and daddy wasn't beaten by mother! "

Murong Lei felt that this son was amazing, so open-minded and so smart, he must be like him!

He had long forgotten that he was still angry, picked up the little guy, and held it up proudly.

"Okay, with you, Daddy doesn't care about her!"

With you who are more important than daddy himself, daddy is willing to forgive everything, including the seven years of misses and partings.

And the woman who gave birth to such an important you can naturally not care about her right now - anyway, there is still such a long time in my life, anyway... I will keep her by my side for the rest of my life.
