Three days later, Grand Master Rong committed suicide in fear of crime.
Xiao Lv stepped in the dark and damp prison cell, looked at the teacher's body, and remembered that the teacher was upright, but he would be cast aside by everyone even if he died. Master Rong is really this kind of person.
At this moment, Xiao Lu was extremely angry in his heart.
He wished he could draw out his sword and kill this man!
Corruption and perverting the law, being disrespectful, deceiving superiors and inferiors, disregarding human life... These are all things you do. Not only do you do these things, but you also want to replace Gu as the emperor!
However, Xiao Lu took a deep breath, and he finally endured it, because he was not ready, and now he was just going to die, and when he died, he would have nothing... He couldn't avenge his teacher, he couldn't avenge his mother, Can't return Haiyan Heqing to this world.
He can only endure.
This person did it on purpose. He did this to make an example of others, to let himself see what would happen to those who helped him.
Let yourself know that only by being a puppet peacefully can you have a chance of survival.
Xiao Lu did as he wished, making him think that he was afraid and gave in.
Let him think that he was just impulsive and unwilling for a while, but now he dare not.
After that day, Xiao Lu never went to Rong Mansion again.
His momentary carelessness killed the teacher, and he can no longer implicate the Rong family.
He thought that his patience and concession would make the enemy stop temporarily, but who knows... he still underestimated the cruelty and ruthlessness of the opponent.
That night was a snowy night.
When he got the news and rushed over, it was already too late.
Xiao Lu looked at the corpses all over the ground, and he couldn't bear the pain. He hated his own powerlessness, hated himself as an emperor, but he couldn't even protect the people he wanted to protect. He frantically went to every corner, wanting to see No one is still alive, even if there is one person alive... But no, not a single person...
Finally he came to that quiet courtyard, the pure land in his heart that he carefully guarded. At this moment, blood stained the cobblestone pavement red. On the ground... Xiao Lu's breath froze, and he didn't dare to take another step forward.
It seems that one step away is a boundless purgatory.
After a long time, Xiao Lu finally walked over step by step, tremblingly embraced the young man into his arms, and then his heart almost missed a beat. The one wearing the young man's clothes was his personal servant.
His boy is still alive.
At this moment, the cold blood all over his body seemed to have a temperature again... Xiao Lu had never been so eager to find someone, so he jumped into the heavy snow.
Snowflakes were falling, and the cold wind was blowing like a knife on his face, but Xiao Lu didn't notice it. He ignored the guard's dissuasion, and finally found a familiar thin figure in a dark alley.
Xiao Lu's eyes suddenly became hot, and he hugged the boy without hesitation. The boy's body was cold, and his eyelashes were covered with snow. When he looked at him, a small cluster of sparks suddenly ignited in those dark eyes, and he trembled. With both hands, tightly clutching his sleeves, he made a weak voice: Please, take me back, okay
He is begging him.
Beg him to take him home.
Xiao Lu had never refused any request from the boy before.
But this time, he couldn't say that good word, no matter what.
He has no way to tell the boy that you can't go back because you have nothing left.
He had no choice but to tell him the cruel truth.
... ... ...
Xiao Lu took the boy back and placed him in a secret house.
The young man was in a coma for several days, and finally woke up. Xiao Lu was suddenly afraid to face the young man, but running away could not solve the problem, so he went anyway.
But to his surprise, the young man looked extremely calm, he looked at him fixedly, and only said one word.
He said: Your Majesty, you will avenge us, won't you
Xiao Lu was shocked, he had never told the young man about his identity, but at this moment he looked at the young man's clear eyes, and suddenly realized that the young man was much smarter than he imagined, maybe he didn't know everything, but something I don't even say it, but the more this is the case, the more distressed and pitiful it is...
Xiao Lu closed his eyes in pain. After a long time, he answered with one word: Yes.
Even if you don't open your mouth, I won't let it go. The Chen family must pay for this bloody debt!
Xiao Lu told the boy the cause and effect.
Nothing is hidden.
Grand Master Rong was upright and upright, the Rong family was targeted by General Zhen Guo because he chose to help him, maybe because of his own negligence... Anyway, their plan was discovered, and the Rong family suffered a catastrophe.
This matter was not what he wanted, but it happened because of him.
Xiao Lu blamed himself for the pain. After he said this, he didn't even dare to look into the young man's eyes, he didn't dare to face the young man's resentful eyes. He thought the young man would blame him for hating him...
but no.
The boy just looked at him quietly and said: Your Majesty, I don't hate you.
Xiao Lu stared blankly at the young man.
The boy's eyes are so clear, bright and firm.
He is the cleanest and purest Baixue. Suddenly his family was ruined and he was faced with a violent storm. However, he did not cowardly escape or feel sorry for himself, but faced the reality firmly.
He grew up a lot overnight.
Xiao Lu has never realized so clearly that even if the young man is weak in body, he is still a strong and strong family member in his bones, not a delicate flower that will be destroyed by the wind and rain.
In this way, it attracts him.
... ... ...
Now Xiao Lv can't protect himself, he is walking on thin ice, he can't go out of the palace from time to time, he is worried that he won't be able to protect Rongxuan's safety, after a period of time he comes to see the young man, and wants to send him out of the capital to stay away from right and wrong.
But the boy rejected him.
Dedicated and determined to stay.
Xiao Lu knew that the young man didn't want to leave, and understood his unwillingness to escape, but it was dangerous to stay in the capital, and the young man's insistence made him very embarrassed... After much deliberation, Xiao Lu made a suggestion.
Everyone in the world knew that Rong Xuan was dead. If Rong Xuan entered the palace disguised as a male pet, who would have thought that his male pet would be the last blood of the Rong family.
The most dangerous place is the safest place.
This is the only way Xiao Lu can think of, and if this is the case, he can see the boy from time to time... Xiao Lu feels ashamed of the flash of selfish desire in his heart.
But this method really humiliated Rongxuan's identity, he suppressed the desire to see the invisible light in his heart, and still planned to send Rongxuan out of the capital...
Unexpectedly, Rong Xuan's promise was very clean and neat.
Even though Xiao Lu persuaded him to reconsider and not to rush to make a decision, Rong Xuan's heart did not waver in the slightest. Now, if the Rong family's grievances cannot be cleared up, how important is a mere identity.
He just wanted to witness the enemy's execution with his own eyes.
It doesn't matter where.
In the end, Xiao Lu agreed to his request.
brought him into the palace.
The situation in the palace is complicated, the empress dowager and empress covered the sky with their palms, even though they brought Rong Xuan into the palace, Xiao Lu didn't dare to take care of him too much, lest he would bring him a fatal disaster.
But as long as there is a chance, he will always go to have a look, bring some things to relieve the boy's boredom, chat with him, play chess and drink tea.
Since Xiao Lu was born, this road was doomed to be full of thorns, bloody winds and intrigues, but only with this young man, he could get a moment of peace of mind.
Only the place where the teenager is is different.
He is the only pure land in his heart.
It made him yearn for it.
Xiao Lu can no longer deceive himself and others, he likes this young man, he has been in love with him since a long time ago.
I like every minute and every second with him, I like every smile he shows to me, I like the way he looks at me with clear eyes... I like everything about him.
In the dead of night, when I am occasionally discouraged, want to give up, and almost can't hold on...
It is the young man's company and waiting, letting him know that he cannot give up.
He can't break his promise.
He promised to avenge him.
Even though they couldn't see each other every day, Xiao Lu felt at ease as long as he thought that they were in the same besieged city.
This intention is hidden in the bottom of my heart, but I can't say it out.
Because now is not the right time.
The young man has suffered drastic changes, his family has been destroyed, and he lives in a corner... If I express my feelings at this moment, I will inevitably be suspected of taking advantage of others, and it will also be disrespectful to the one I love.
So Xiao Lu restrained himself, just as usual, getting along with the boy like a friend.
All he knew was that he couldn't lose.
Because of the loss, everything he insisted on and wanted to protect would cease to exist, including his beloved boy.
One day the Empress suddenly invited Xiao Lu to a banquet, and personally cooked a table for him. Xiao Lu was very pleasantly surprised.
Although she is the daughter of an enemy, this woman likes him, and in order to win, he will do whatever it takes.
Only by appeasing the empress can the general and the empress dowager feel at ease with him, but to Xiao Lu's surprise, the empress accidentally mentioned his male favorite, which made Xiao Lu vigilant. Although he pretended well this time, Maybe it still aroused the woman's suspicion.
Xiao Lv decided to stay away from Rongxuan for the time being, and only arranged for his confidant eunuch to watch Gu Rongxuan.
At this time, his planning has also reached a critical moment. The unscrupulous General Zhen Guo has caused more and more people to take refuge in him. Dark clouds are surging under the court. Xiao Lu does not have much time to pay attention to Rong Xuan. There are too many things to do, and when he eradicates the enemy and succeeds in taking power, he will be able to be with his beloved boy openly and aboveboard...
Finally, the day is coming.
The night before the attack, Xiao Lu went to see Rong Xuan.
The young man looked weaker, Xiao Lu felt sorry for himself, and felt that he had neglected to take care of the young man, but the young man comforted him, his eyes were bright and gentle, saying that he was always so unimportant...
Teenagers have always been like this.
Even though he lived in a corner of the deep palace, lonely and cold, and lived a poor life, he never had any dissatisfaction, did not make any demands on himself, was quiet, and even patiently relieved his worries when he was worried.
A person's strength lies not only in his appearance, but also in his heart. The young man has been supporting him and helping him in his own way, so that he has bright hope in his heart.
But he made him suffer.
When he was about to leave, Xiao Lu gently picked up the boy. The boy's body was thinner than before, as light as a feather. Can't even ask.
In the end, he just looked at the young man slowly but firmly, and said word by word: When everything is over, we will be together in a fair manner, okay
When the young man heard these words, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at him burningly: Is it really over
Xiao Lv said: Yes.
The young man was extremely happy, his eyes lit up with a long-lost dazzling light, and after a while, he seemed to realize the meaning of the second half of Xiao Lv's sentence, and his face immediately turned red with embarrassment.
But he didn't escape, but looked at him seriously and nodded.
At this moment, Xiao Lu's heart was burning hot.
There is nothing more satisfying than being in love with each other.
Xiao Lu hugged the young man emotionally again, with gentle eyes, solemnly took off the jade pendant he had worn for more than ten years, and carefully delivered it to the young man, promising word by word: I will never let you down.
wait for me...
After tomorrow, I will give you a bright future and a vast world.
I want to show you all over thousands of miles of rivers and mountains.
This is my promise to you.
Thank you for being with me.
Thank you for being in front of me.
My journey is full of ups and downs, and it is not easy to walk. Only your appearance is a gift from God to me.
Xiao Lu got up and left here.
He is full of ambition and full of hope, and tomorrow night is the time to fight to the death. If it is done, he will be the real emperor, and he can stay with the one he loves.
For this day, I waited too long.
On the second day, Xiao Lu called General Zhen Guo into the palace to discuss important matters. The palace is full of members of the Chen family. General Zhen Guo has been in and out of the palace freely for nearly ten years. Except for the minion's cat, it will only succumb to his lust.
People will always relax their vigilance against possible dangers day after day, and fall in the place he thinks is the least likely to fall.
But Xiao Lu endured for more than ten years, just for this day.
The empress dowager enjoyed the dance in her own palace, and the servants knelt on the ground to beat her legs and peel grapes for her. There was fine wine on the table next to her. She was very happy to see General Zhen Guo entered the palace, and she called her brother to sit down. The two talked and laughed, and the brother and sister were at ease in the palace.
It seems that they are the masters of the palace, and the emperor Xiao Lu is just a decoration.
No one took Xiao Lu seriously.
Until countless sharp arrows shot over, before they could react, the two of them were shot into a sieve, everything ended so unexpectedly.
When Xiao Lu walked in, General Zhen Guo was still breathing. He opened his eyes wide and looked at him in disbelief. There was resentment, unwillingness, and incomprehensible absurdity inside. He couldn't figure it out. How come, he just died like this.
Xiao Lu walked up to General Zhen Guo step by step, looked coldly at this man who brought him countless humiliation and pain, and slowly swallowed his last breath.
From now on, no one can stop him.
He calmly and calmly ordered his subordinates to clean up the scene, and taking advantage of the fact that the news had not spread, he arranged for his confidants to strangle General Zhen Guo's subordinates, so as to face the enemy, he would kill the grass and eradicate the roots so that no future troubles would be left.
This is what you taught me.
After Xiao Lu finished all this, he finally remembered the boy and couldn't wait to tell him the good news.
Tell him that from now on, he doesn't have to hide anymore, from now on, he doesn't have to worry about being afraid...
Just at this time, the Queen's Fengwu Palace caught fire.
The sky was full of fire.
This doesn't move Xiao Lu in the slightest. If this woman gets the news, if she is smart, she should kill herself, and she can still give her a face. Now he just wants to see Rongxuan, and other things are irrelevant...
But just as Xiao Lu stepped out of the gate of Shoukang Palace, he saw his confidant next to Rong Xuan, kneeling in front of him covered in blood, kowtowed and pleaded guilty, saying that his subordinates' guards were weak, and Young Master Rong was taken away by the Queen's people up.
Xiao Lu's eyes almost went dark, his eyes were tearing apart, and he rushed towards Fengwu Palace without hesitation.
There was a sea of flames in front of my eyes, and the scorching breath spread over my face, mercilessly engulfing everything...
Xiao Lu rushed in without thinking, his boy was still inside, he had to go in and save him, he had to save him...
But his subordinates stopped him firmly, and stopped him outside regardless of life and death.
The fire burned for a day and a night.
Xiao Lu staggered into the ruined walls, and came to the main hall that had been turned into scorched earth. He saw the burnt corpse. He didn't want to believe this fact. He would rather see everything in front of him as false.
Everything was just his dream, a nightmare.
Until he saw the jade pendant with a broken corner in the hands of the corpse, even at the last moment of death, it was firmly guarded by his master in the palm of his hand, as if at the last moment, the only one who was cherished and wanted to stay s things…
Xiao Lu raised his head, as if tears were streaming down his face.
He thought he wouldn't cry.
But it still will.
We are about to make it.
Everything is coming to an end.
Why don't you wait for me anymore...
Just wait for one more day, and it will be fine.
one day.
Enough.
At that time, I can personally take you out of there, and I will tell you personally that your revenge has been avenged, and you don't have to be patient anymore. I will give you the most honorable position in the world, and I will search for famous doctors all over the world. To treat your illness, I will show you all over the mountains and rivers. I still have a lot of things I want to do with you. I hope that I will have you in my future life...
My promise to you has not been fulfilled yet...
How could you just leave like this.
Xiao Lu was in a daze, he didn't know how he left in the end, he didn't even know where he should go, at this moment, it seemed that all his forbearance and hard work were meaningless.
His men captured all the people in the queen's palace.
The maidservants and eunuchs who used to pretend to be powerful, knelt down in front of him one by one, crying bitterly. Without their master, the sky fell. They just wanted to live, saying that what they did to Rong Xuan was ordered by the queen, and they dared not No!
Only then did Xiao Lu know what Rong Xuan had gone through.
It turned out that shortly after Rong Xuan entered the palace, the Queen summoned Rong Xuan and punished Rong Xuan to kneel for three full hours, but Xiao Lu remembered that he went to see Rong Xuan the next day, and Rong Xuan rested in bed, but only said I feel a little uncomfortable from the cold, and I haven't told him half a word about the queen...
It turned out that the queen had already noticed that she had feelings for Rong Xuan.
No matter how cautious she was, the queen still noticed it. Perhaps this was a woman's intuition.
It turned out that before he knew it, the queen had been secretly training Rong Xuan, that's why Rong Xuan often fell ill, not because he was weak, but because he was constantly injured, but even so, he never talked about it with himself These, because he didn't want to worry himself about it.
Xiao Lu went crazy and beheaded all the people in the Queen's Palace!
Killed all.
Xiao Lu walked out of Fengwu Palace.
The last sword was on the neck of his confidant eunuch.
This is the person he arranged to take care of Rongxuan and deliver the medicine for Rongxuan. There are so many things that happened, he couldn't be unaware.
Xiao Lu's voice was hoarse, his eyes were red, and he asked: Why didn't you tell me.
The eunuch knelt there respectfully, with the sword pressed against his neck, but his expression was very calm, as if he had anticipated everything today, and explained in a soft voice: Young Master Rong didn't let the slaves say it, he said that His Majesty is taking care of everything every day, and he has a lot of burdens on him. The burden is too heavy to be divided, so don't embarrass Your Majesty with these trivial matters.
Xiao Lu was furious, moved the point of his sword an inch forward, and said in a hoarse voice: "So you don't say anything!"
The eunuch didn't move, and said mechanically: "Your Majesty's entrustment has been fulfilled by this servant, and you have failed to protect the young master. You deserve to die. Your Majesty, please come down."
Xiao Lu's hand holding the sword was trembling.
Suddenly, he let go of his hand, and the sword in his hand fell powerlessly to the ground.
You really deserve death, you shouldn't let Rong Xuan be taken away, you shouldn't...
But what Xiao Lu hated the most was himself.
At this moment, all the cruel reality is in front of him, he has no way to continue to deceive himself, did he really not notice it at all...
Looking at the boy's weakness day by day, watching the boy softly say nothing, why didn't he dare to ask one more question...
Why not dare to reveal the cruel facts.
Rong Xuan made such a choice, and his subordinates also made such a choice...
Because everyone knows, so what if they know the truth? He couldn't and couldn't do anything.
The road he walks does not allow for the slightest mistake.
As for myself, I acquiesced in the path they chose for me, and cowardly chose to escape, deceiving myself that nothing had happened.
As long as he succeeds, everything will be fine...
Until the words of the Queen's Palace, word by word, pierced his heart like a sharp knife, and finally showed everything he had escaped bloody before his eyes, allowing him to look directly at the cruel truth. , much more than he imagined... Even if those people are killed, nothing can be redeemed.
The young man suffered so much grievance, but he swallowed all the pain alone, never complained, and only kept the last side to himself, because he knew that he could not do whatever he wanted, and after saying this, there was nothing he could do except to make himself suffer and blame himself any sense...
He didn't want him to suffer, so he would rather bear it alone.
He accompanied himself through the long night.
Burning his own life, just to give his heart a shelter, so that he can continue to move forward without looking back.
But I let him die in the fire of Fengwu Palace, and I didn't even have a chance to make up for it.
Xiao Lu couldn't forgive herself.
He is the source of youth tragedy in his life.
If it wasn't for him, the Rong family wouldn't have been wiped out, Rong Xuan wouldn't have bent himself into the palace, and wouldn't have ended up like this...
But the young man never blamed him. Before he died, he guarded the jade pendant he gave him. Was he still waiting for him to save him at the last moment...
As soon as Xiao Lu closed his eyes, he could see the young man calling for help, but the boundless sea of flames blocked them like an insurmountable moat. He watched the young man die and was engulfed by the flames. Can't get any closer...
There were countless midnight dreams, and Xiao Lu questioned himself time and time again, if he hadn't pushed open the door of Taolin Courtyard on that day...
If on that day, I disregarded the boy's request and forcibly sent him out of the capital...
Will everything be different
It's a pity that there is no chance to choose to start over in life.
I want to hope to leave a moment of tenderness, but in the end everything is ruined, and nothing can be left behind.
For one's own selfish desires, greedy for a while.
He paid a heavy price.
Fifty years have passed.
Xiao Lu has become a veritable king of the prosperous age, no one can make him bear the burden of humiliation and compromise, he already has everything, but in the dead of night, the despair of powerlessness will always overwhelm him.
After all, he can't protect the one he loves.
is a loser.
Now he is old, his hair is gray, and his body is weak, but the appearance of the boy in his memory will always stay at the cleanest and purest moment. He really wants to say to the boy himself, look, I told you before I have done all the things I have done. I said that I would be a wise king with the world in mind, and restore the peace of the world. fame...
Did you see everything I did
But there is only one thing that I can't do, and that is to be with you openly, let you stay by my side, and see all the rivers and mountains for thousands of miles.
I failed to protect you.
Keeping you waiting for me for too long.
Xiao Lu closed his eyes, he thought his long life was finally coming to an end, but who knew that when he opened his eyes again, he woke up in the Heavenly Palace.
It turned out that he was not only Xiao Lu, the monarch of Nanyue Kingdom, but also Emperor Hualan of the heavenly realm.
What he thought was a long life was nothing more than an accidental reincarnation when he was in retreat and enlightenment. A mere seventy years, compared to his lifespan of hundreds of thousands of years, was nothing more than a drop in the ocean. A mortal's life is so short , love, hatred, hatred, and ignorance are all fleeting, there should be nothing to miss...
As the emperor of the heavens, respected as a god, let alone be greedy for love in the world.
Hua Lan knew he should let go.
He is no longer Xiao Lu, and Rong Xuan has already been reincarnated, even if he persists in this, it is meaningless, but... there is a trace of regret in his heart.
It turns out that this is what it feels like to love but not to get it.
This is probably the price he paid for his enlightenment after all the calamities.
As a dragon, Hua Lan stood at the top of the three worlds from the very beginning of his birth. The road to becoming a god was smooth sailing. He didn't know what suffering in the world was, and he didn't understand human emotions and desires.
Maybe it was because the journey was too smooth, and if it was full, there would be gaps in the road, and he could not go any further. Until he went to the world for this trip, he understood a lot of things that he didn't understand before, and a lot of emotions that he didn't understand before... The way of heaven let him know that all living beings in the three realms have their flaws, how can you cherish them if you don't understand the flaws, even if you become a god, you will still have what you can't ask for.
This is what he couldn't ask for.
Some feelings can not be forgotten if you want to, and you can’t let go if you want to. When you get something, you must lose something.
Going forward, there will always be some misses, and these misses... will become traces that will never fade on your life.
Hua Lan went back to the mortal world and retrieved the buried jade pendant. After all, he still became delusional.
Occasionally, Hua Lan would recall the past in the mortal world. He didn't know who the young man was and how he was doing. He couldn't help but want to find out several times, but the young man had reincarnated and had a new life. After finding a new lover, how could he forcibly make a move, just to satisfy his own selfish desire and destroy his reincarnation.
The same mistake, he cannot make it again.
You have already forgotten me.
But it doesn't matter, I still remember this memory.
Not only will this feeling not disappear with the passage of time, but it will ferment with the passage of time, becoming more intense like aged wine.
Although the entrance is bitter, it is refreshing and has a long aftertaste.
Deep down.
Hua Lan made a forbidden place in the Heavenly Palace, which was built according to the appearance of the Rong family in the human world. The scenery is quiet and quiet. He took thousands of years of chalcedony and made a puppet. Like a thousand years ago, every time I walked into that courtyard, I would smile at him and say——
Your Majesty, you are here.
That's enough.
This is a secret that no one knows.
Hua Lan would often chat with the young man, talking to him about the outside world, the young man always listened patiently, without saying a word, Hua Lan knew that he was just a puppet, could not understand his own words, and could not give himself any response... But he Don't care, a thousand years have passed, the sky and the earth, where the boy is, will always be a forbidden place in his heart that others cannot touch.
So, that day he had a feast for the immortals, and when he realized that someone had broken into the forbidden area, he was so angry.
It was also the first time since he returned to the throne that he had the intention to kill.
Hua Lan looked at the short-sighted little thief, who had no idea what kind of mistake he had made.
But at the moment when he was about to strike, the young man prostrated himself on the ground, looked up at him, his eyes were red, and he shouted stubbornly and forbearingly, Your Majesty...
His breath stagnated, and he fell into those clear eyes, suddenly unable to move.
At that moment, it was as if the beloved boy was reborn before his eyes.
