It was late at night, everything was quiet, and time seemed to pass very quickly, as if I had slept for several years.
The embroidered bed and the silks and satins are in disarray.
Li Shu's pajamas were half-open, revealing her beauty, her shoulders half exposed, her skin as white as milk, and she nestled comfortably in Zhu Ping'an's arms like a sleeping beauty. Her black hair was loosely tied up, as smooth as flowing water, her eyes were sleepy, and her long and curled eyelashes trembled slightly like a butterfly taking a nap. Her slender hands trembled twice and she clutched the quilt tightly, as if she had encountered something bad in her dream.
Her eyelashes trembled even more violently.
The hands also held tighter.
Shortness of breath
Then she opened her eyes, half-drowsy and dreamy. Even though she was not half-drowsy, her eyes, full of spirit, were brighter than the morning star hanging in the dim sky outside the window.
call
It turned out to be a dream.
It scared me.
However, I can’t remember what I just dreamed about at all. I only remember that it was a nightmare.
Fortunately it was just a dream.
Li Shu rubbed her eyes with her delicate hands, glanced out the window, and saw the morning star and the morning glow on the eastern horizon.
It's already daybreak.
I told you last night before going to bed that I have to get up early today, but why didn't Hua'er and Qin'er wake me up? Did they oversleep? We are going to go boating today, so I have to pack my things in advance... ...
never mind
I'll get up first and deal with them later.
Li Shu supported herself on the bed with her slender hands, gently rose from Zhu Ping'an's shoulders, and sat up leaning against the soft brocade couch. She looked down at Zhu Ping'an who was sleeping soundly, and could not help but smile. Her childish nature was aroused, and she took up a lock of black hair with her slender hands and was about to tickle Zhu Ping'an's nose and lips.
However, when the black hair was about to touch Zhu Ping'an, Li Shu changed her mind and stopped.
never mind
This bad guy did so many bad things last night and slept so late, so let him sleep a little longer.
Li Shu stretched out her slender hand and gently stroked Zhu Ping'an's long eyebrows. She leaned down and gave Zhu Ping'an a kiss on the forehead. Then she gently got up from the bed, put on her clothes, washed and packed up.
Prepare breakfast
Arrange the maid to pack the things needed for going out for a boat trip on the lake.
Everything is in order.
After breakfast, Li Shu asked someone to call Rui Ge'er and Niuniu to go boating on the lake, which was what she had promised them yesterday. However, as soon as the group walked out of the gate of Linhuai Marquis's Mansion, they were met by several eunuchs from Xiyuan and a team of Jinyiwei.
The leading eunuch was holding an imperial edict in his hand, and he was here to announce it to Zhu Ping'an.
This imperial edict interrupted the travel plans.
And there’s much more to it than that.
This imperial edict not only interrupted the travel plan, but also interrupted Li Shu's life. The general meaning of the imperial edict was: It has been found that Zhu Ping'an falsely accused Gao Botai, the commander of the Xicheng Military Division, and should have been severely punished. Considering Zhu Ping'an's past merits, he was demoted to the position of the financial officer of Susong Prefecture and supervised the anti-Japanese grain and grass affairs. He was to take up the post immediately and make meritorious contributions while serving his sentence.
The wording of this imperial edict was very harsh, like a thunderbolt in a clear sky, which made Li Shu stunned on the spot.
Li Shu also knew about Zhu Ping'an's impeachment of Gao Botai. However, Li Shu was not too worried, not only because Zhu Ping'an was very sure, but also because Li Shu herself had analyzed it and felt that there would be no problem. Regardless of whether Gao Botai's occupation of military farms was true or not, Gao Botai abused his power for personal gain, slandered and kidnapped Zhu Ping'an, who was his superior, and Gao Botai deserved the punishment.
However, Li Shu never expected that Emperor Jiajing seemed to be blind and took the wrong medicine. He ignored the facts and justice and issued such a foolish and unreasonable imperial decree...
After the eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, Zhu Ping'an was forced to rush south to take up his post under the watchful eyes of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
I didn't even have time to pack my luggage.
After Zhu Ping'an left, Li Shu quickly packed up her gifts and money with Hua'er, Qin'er and the others, preparing to chase after Zhu Ping'an. However, she was so frightened and packed so quickly that she broke out in a sweat. She caught a cold when the wind blew, and she fainted as soon as she got on the carriage and walked out of the gate of Linhuai Marquis' Mansion.
This disease
Just lie in bed.
Li Shu had to recuperate in the Marquis' Mansion.
During the days of recuperation in the Marquis's Mansion, Li Shu spent the whole day in worry. The whole world turned black and white. Black leaves, black flowers, white sky, the whole world was without any color.
Li Shu was worried all the time. Whether she opened her eyes or closed them, she was thinking about Zhu Pingan.
Where is Brother Zhu now
Do you have enough money on you to spend
It’s so hot, do you want to sunbathe
I heard it's raining in the south. Brother Zhu didn't bring a raincoat or an oil-paper umbrella, so he'd better not get wet...
Of course, Li Shu was most worried about Zhu Ping'an's safety. The imperial decree asked Zhu to supervise the grain and grass, and he might face Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates were so cruel and rampant. It was possible that they would rob the grain and grass.
Although Brother Zhu is a little fatter than others, has a better appetite, and is a little smarter, he is just a weak scholar. He has no self-defense skills. How can he resist the cruel and inhumane Japanese pirates
It’s scary to think about it.
finally
After being bedridden for several months, Li Shu recovered.
After recovering, Li Shu took Huaer, Qiner and others and headed south by carriage without wasting a single day.
All the way south.
Li Shu heard about the Japanese pirates' extremely cruel and brutal atrocities, including murder, arson and all kinds of evil, and she became even more worried about Zhu Ping'an.
After arriving in Susong, Li Shu heard the news about Zhu Ping'an.
More than ten miles ahead, Zhu Ping'an was supervising a team of food and supplies to support the battlefield ahead.
then
Li Shu couldn't wait a moment longer.
However, despite the persuasion and opposition from the accompanying security guards, he went directly to find Zhu Ping'an.
Ten Mile
Jiuli
Bali
... ...
One mile.
Li Shu heard a burst of shouting and then saw a burst of smoke rising into the sky. Li Shu's heart instantly rose.
Next
The smoke from the fire grew thicker and the shouting and screaming grew louder.
Going forward
Li Shu saw a flash of fire and the messy and miserable remains of the Ming army on the roadside, covered in blood.
Then
Li Shuxin felt as if she was being grasped by a pair of black hands and she couldn't even breathe.
Going forward
Zhu Ping'an saw a familiar figure he had been thinking about day and night standing in front of him.
Although wearing armor
But Li Shu still recognized it at a glance, but why was there such a long spear's butt exposed on the back of the armor
"Brother Zhu..."
Li Shu cried out heart-wrenchingly, and jumped off the carriage without paying any attention to the speed of the carriage.
Run forward.
The sleeves of her clothes fluttered and her sash fluttered.
Just like a fairy flying on the water.
The man in front heard Li Shu's cry and turned around. It was Zhu Ping'an, who was thin and had blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
A long gun
A gun pierced through his chest, revealing a half-meter long gun. Blood gushed out along the tip of the gun, flowing all over the ground like water.
"Why are you here..." Zhu Ping'an's voice was hoarse, and this sentence seemed to burn his life.
"Brother Zhu, I'm here..."
Li Shu's tears were pouring down her face, but her pretty face was full of smiles. She opened her arms and ran towards Zhu Ping'an.
Skirt fluttering
Like a dream
When she was one meter away from Zhu Ping'an, Li Shu giggled and used all her strength to jump suddenly. Her feet left the ground and she flew into Zhu Ping'an's arms like a koala. She hugged Zhu Ping'an tightly with both hands and hung on him.
"Brother Zhu, I'm here."
Li Shu looked at Zhu Ping'an with her watery eyes, and stretched out her trembling hands to stroke Zhu Ping'an's dry coughing lips. Her pretty face was filled with happiness and satisfaction, and the blood from the corners of her mouth mixed with tears flowed down.
Half of the spear pierced through Li Shu's back...
"Miss, Miss..."
The heart-wrenching voices of Hua'er and Qin'er came from behind.
"Miss."
"Miss, wake up, get up..."
Well
etc.
Are you up
These two girls must have been so sad that their brains have gone stupid. Just cry if you want to. What the hell is this? Miss, wake up!
Li Shu...
"Miss, wake up, get up. Aren't we going to go boating on the lake today? You said last night that I would call you early this morning."
The voice behind me became clearer.
then
Li Shu felt like someone was shaking her arm.
What to do
Can't you see that Brother Zhu and I are already like this? Are you still going to disturb us during our last moments?!
Li Shu opened her eyes impatiently.
Then he saw the chubby little maids Hua'er and Qin'er standing in front of the bed, looking at him cautiously. Hua'er's hands were even gently shaking her arms.
bed?!
ah?!
Li Shu woke up suddenly.
Was I just dreaming? !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Li Shu sat up suddenly and reached out to pinch the arm of the little maid named Baozi.
"Miss, it hurts..."
The chubby little maid looked at Li Shu pitifully.
pain
That would really be a dream.
Looking at Zhu Ping'an who was still snoring beside her, Li Shu's eyes narrowed with joy, like crescent moons.
