Taking advantage of the night, Yun Zhi sneaked into the Leng Palace with his light skills, avoiding all the guards and palace people who were on shift. He walked around the hall first, but he didn't see Lu Nong. When he was wondering where Lu Nong went at night, she came slowly from not far away: "It's so late, why are you here?"
"Where have you been?" he asked, frowning.
"I couldn't sleep, so I walked around, but there is nothing to see in the cold palace, so I walked around and came back." Lu Nong said with a smile. "What about you, why are you here so late? Are you not angry with me?"
Yun Zhi squinted at her: "You also know that I'm angry with you."
Lu Nong covered his lips with his sleeve and smiled lightly: "You forgot, I watched you grow up."
Yun Zhi doesn't like to hear these words, why does she always like to use age to distance each other? And she still looked as young and beautiful as he was when he was seven years old, the two of them couldn't be more suitable together.
In fact, Yunzhi is unwilling to admit that the eighteen-year-old himself and Lu Nong sometimes look like her brother... But this is also good, if he looks more mature and stable, can Lu Nong belong to himself
He smiled and asked Lu Nong: "What do you think I want to tell you?"
"I don't know." Lu Nong sat on the stone bench under the peach tree and invited him to sit down and enjoy the moon. "But it should be a very important thing, otherwise you wouldn't be so nervous."
Yun Zhijun blushed. He was used to being shameless in front of Lu Nong when he was a child, but he was not used to being made serious suddenly, so he coughed twice and was about to confess his love, but he heard Lu Nong say in a low voice: "People It is said that the setting sun is the end of the world, and if you look far into the end of the world, you will not see your home.”
"Are you homesick?" Yunzhi asked worriedly.
"Um."
"If you miss home, why don't you go back?" He volunteered. "I can take you out of the palace and never come back again! If you want to see all the mountains and rivers, we will go there together. If you want to go home, I will accompany you back, okay? And although the setting sun is beautiful, the rising sun is even more beautiful. When people are moving, they have more vitality!"
"Heh, like a child." Lu Nong was amused by the seriousness in his words, and then sighed softly. "I'm never going back."
Her tone was inexplicably sad and nostalgic, but Yun Zhi didn't believe it: "Why didn't you go back? Could it be that your family won't see you?"
"...I have no family anymore. My family... are all dead." Lu Nong looked up at the moon. "It's been a long time... It's been a long time." It's been so long that she almost forgot.
She is used to not letting herself think and recall, that way, the pain will be less. But this path was chosen by herself, and she will never regret it.
"You will not be alone in the future." Yun Zhi suddenly held her hand with a serious expression, "I will not leave you alone."
"Zhi'er is the best." Lu Nong smiled.
Yunzhi said: "You don't look good when you smile like this. Don't laugh if you don't want to. Do you need to pretend in front of me?" He asked seriously, "Nong Nong, I like you. You will be my wife, okay? ?”
Lu Nong took a deep breath, she wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, which caused the expression on her face to look a little weird, but in Yun Zhi's opinion, no one was more beautiful than her. "... Our identities cannot be together."
"I know, it doesn't matter." Yun Zhi said firmly. "I don't need to be the prince, we leave together and never come back."
"But I think you will be a good emperor." Lu Nong's gentle eyes almost looked into his soul. "You have been fighting for two years, and you must have witnessed a lot of deaths during the period. You must know what life is like for the poor people. The current emperor is all about seeking immortality and asking questions, not thinking about political affairs. There are countless moths in the court, and the people are struggling to survive. Really, the wine and meat of the rich family stinks, and the road is frozen to death. Didn’t you have ideals and aspirations when you saw these things?"
Yunzhi was speechless. some. When he was in the frontier, he was used to seeing death and the miserable lives of ordinary people, but at the same time, the concubines and emperors in the palace had the supreme enjoyment! The people in the famine were so hungry that they ate leaves and gnawed bark, and they couldn't even find wild vegetables in the fields, and the concubines in the palace used good bird's nest to rinse their mouths, but they thought the bird's nest was not fragrant enough.
Father is not a good emperor. His political achievements have been deteriorating over the years of his reign. If this continues, some peasants may rise up.
"You will be a good emperor." Lu Nong believed in Yun Zhi very much. "No one is better than you. The emperor only has two sons. If you don't want to be the emperor, you will let the eldest prince do it. Are you willing? Even if you are willing, you don't care about the throne, but the eldest prince becomes the emperor, and the common people still want to be the emperor." Are you having a good time?"
Yun Zhi remained silent. Eldest brother looks gentle and elegant, but in fact he is the most cruel and ruthless. In his eyes, human life is not life. He knew how to point at disliked court ladies when he was three years old. When his father appointed him as an imperial envoy, even more so. He only regards human life as worthless, without the slightest love for the people.
The father is in a coma, and if the elder brother becomes the emperor, he will be a tyrant. None of them is a wise king, and they are not suitable to control this country that is already riddled with holes.
"...Even if I become the emperor in the future, I only want you alone."
"In what name?" Lu Nong asked softly. "I can't be your wife, and I can't justly stand by your side. Zhi'er, when you grow up, you don't need me anymore."
"Is that why you are getting colder and colder towards me? Do you want to reject me and let me leave you?" Yun Zhi asked, "Nong Nong, I just don't say it, I'm not a fool, don't always put me away from you again and again." Is it that hard for you to push away, hold me tight once in a while, and accept me? You love me, I know!"
Lu Nong looked terrified.
"Your eyes can't deceive anyone. Every time you see me, you look brighter than anyone else." Regardless of Lu Nong's whole body being stiff, he held Lu Nong's face in his hands, and gently rubbed her lips and pink with his fingertips. Cheek, "Nong Nong, we love each other, shouldn't we be together? I want to watch the sunrise with you, hold your hand openly, and give you the best of everything in this world. So don't reject me , and don't push me away, accept me, hug me."
How many people in the world who love each other can stay together forever
Lu Nong stared at him for a long time before finally realizing that the little boy who was quietly hiding in the cold palace and crying because he missed his mother had grown into a man who stood upright.
It was both the same and different from the person in her impression.
She gently covered his big hand and kissed his palm.
That night, Yunzhi did not leave.
The next morning, on the bed in the cold palace, the two hugged and kissed each other, like a tree and a vine, intertwined in life and death, unwilling to be separated. Yun Zhi whispered love words, and Lu Nong listened quietly. When he said that the two of them will live forever, she laughed: "Life is too long, I just want to live forever."
She dare not be greedy, nor is she qualified to be greedy.
"I want to be together forever, I dare to swear, I will only love you forever." Yun Zhi kissed her lips, not wanting to be separated from her for a moment.
Lu Nong closed his eyes, with a light and happy smile on the corner of his mouth. What she dreamed of pursuing has already been obtained, man, it is so greedy. When she couldn't find him, she only wanted to find him, and she would be satisfied to see him well. Now that she found him, she begged God to let her live a little longer, let her see him more, it would be nice if she could live one more day.
I can't bear it, I really can't bear it.
If you don't want to separate, can you just don't separate? Lu Nong hugged Yun Zhi with his backhand, and said, "You should get up, go back to your bedroom before it's dark, pack up and change your clothes, don't you have something to tell the emperor?"
"...how do you know?" After asking this sentence, Yun Zhi chuckled. "We really have a good understanding."
Lu Nong smiled: "Get up quickly."
When he left, he really hated her, and wished he could make her smaller and put it in his chest. In this way, even if he was talking to his father, he could touch her and kiss her, and he didn't want to be separated for a second. Love comes so naturally, so naturally, that it is too late to refuse and doubt.
He fell in love and couldn't extricate himself.
This year there was a locust plague in the northwest area. The emperor sent many imperial envoys there, but they all returned in vain. Yun Zhi was going to take over the job himself. He had heard of the locust plague when he was fighting in the frontier. Although he had never seen it before, he did. Knowing a lot of cure methods, so I want to try. Because the plague of locusts was too strong, a plague was triggered for some reason. The two disasters were fatal, but they happened to be gathered together. The emperor was already grey-haired because of this, and there was really nothing he could do.
According to what the eldest prince Yun Zan said, it would be to lock up the patient in the city and burn the city! Once the source of the plague is cut off, it will be fine. As for the locust plague... you can slowly find a way.
If there is really no way out, the emperor will definitely follow Yun Zan's proposal. After all, it is more cost-effective to kill a city's people than to kill more people, isn't it
But how can the emperor ignore the life and death of the people like this? Yunzhi didn't want to see such a thing happen, so he volunteered to go to the northwest. The emperor had always loved his youngest son, and he was reluctant to let him go, so he wanted to reject him. It's just that the words of refusal haven't come out yet, the eldest prince unexpectedly followed up, saying that he is willing to serve as the imperial envoy with the second prince, and discuss matters related to the Northwest together.
The emperor is worried now, he only has two sons, how can they let them go to such a dangerous place? If they have something good or bad, who will his throne pass to in the future
So he sternly refused, but unfortunately the two princes insisted, and finally the emperor surrendered.
