Concubine like a house

Chapter 197 The Heaven Is Never Old (3)
"You can hide it from me with your little thoughtfulness?" The Emperor Tianshou laughed silently, his phoenix eyes became softer, "You claim that you have insomnia, and you asked Zihan for soothing tea, but in fact you prepared it for me."

Hearing this, the tip of Danxin's nose was sore, and the grievances that had been held back for a day finally couldn't be restrained, and he began to sob.

"I have already said that you are you, and Luansu is Luansu. You shouldn't deny yourself, and let me chill." The Tianshou Emperor's deep voice sounded again, accompanied by the faint sobbing sound, in this quiet palace Into each other's hearts.

"Luan Su loves to be stubborn. You are different. I like your temperament better." Emperor Tianshou wanted to persuade him, but his heart was full of turmoil. He pondered for a moment, and could only say again, "Go to sleep first, I think How do you want to arrange Shen Yu."

He used the word "arrangement" instead of "disposition"!Danxin quickly wiped away the tears and got up, then turned to look at Emperor Tianshou: "You promised to save them from death?"

"Just thinking about it." The Emperor Tianshou didn't say anything dead, and raised his hand to wipe away her tears.The warm fingertips with thin calluses gently caressed Dan Xin's cheek, as if treating a precious treasure.

The fingers were faintly wet, which also made the emperor's mood damp.He glanced sideways at the sky outside the palace gate, and said again: "It's almost dawn, there's no delay, I'm leaving first."

This sentence was extremely cryptic, but it gave Danxin infinite hope.She nodded repeatedly, fearing that the emperor would repent, and hurriedly said: "The concubine should go to sleep now, go to sleep immediately!"

Seeing that she was so childish, Emperor Tianshou smiled helplessly and walked out of Lingxi Palace quickly.He walked a long way alone along the quiet path outside the Lingxi Palace, until he came to the Taiye Pool, then took out the parchment scroll from his arms, and threw it into the pool with a wave of his arm.

He has been obsessed with some past events for too long.But in the end, he realized that what he was actually obsessed with was just that memory.

It is better to take pity on the people in front of you than to be full of mountains and rivers and empty thoughts.

"Immediately send King Cheng to the holy study to discuss matters!" Emperor Tianshou gave this order and hurried away...

Two hours later.

The night gradually fades, the sky gradually brightens, and the faint morning light shines into the cell through the iron window, awakening Chuxiu in his sleep.

The moment she regained consciousness, she remembered where she was, and regained her composure, knowing that it was time to go to the execution ground.

Chuxiu struggled to get up from the hard couch, and straightened her dress.

"Are you awake?" There was a smile in Shen Yujun's eyes, which were still bloodshot, but those eyes were infatuated.

Chuxiu suddenly slammed into his eyes, felt embarrassed, and hurriedly brushed her loose long hair to cover her cheeks, and replied in a low voice: "Hmm. Shouldn't it be time to go to the execution ground?"

She said it very lightly, but Shen Yu frowned: "It stands to reason that there should have been a jailer, but there is no sign of anyone so far. I wonder if there is a mistake." He turned to look at the tightly closed black iron prison Shuzhan Meifeng jokingly smiled, "Maybe it's because we didn't make breakfast, so you can't make us starve to death?"

Knowing that Shen Yu was joking, Chu Xiu didn't care.She squinted her eyes and looked out of the window. Seeing the sky full of morning glow, she was also full of doubts: "Could it be that Emperor Tianshou changed his mind?"

"I hope so." Shen Yu sighed with a smile, "I don't know if I have this good luck."

As soon as the words fell, the prison door suddenly opened from the outside.Chuxiu immediately got up from the couch, and Shen Yu also turned over and lay down on the couch, waiting for the jailer outside to come in.The two looked at each other at the same time, and they both saw the calmness of going to death calmly in each other's eyes.Finally, it was time to go to the execution ground.

Unexpectedly, the person who came was Cheng Wang Nie Peixiao.

"Your Highness?!" Chuxiu and Shen Yu said in unison, both extremely surprised.

In particular, today's Nie Peixiao is different from the past, wearing a pro-dynasty uniform.His handsome appearance was extremely haggard, but his expression was extremely solemn, as if he was attending some important occasion.

"Your Highness, is this the morning court?" Shen Yu asked first.

Nie Peixiao didn't answer directly, but only glanced at the faces of the two of them.When he saw Chuxiu's long hair hanging down and his dress pleated, his heart twitched.Looking at the hard couch behind the two of them, there was also a faint sign of mess, and it was obvious that they hadn't had time to tidy it up.

There is also Chuxiu and Shen Yu in front of them, who have a tacit understanding.Moreover, the expression is extremely intimate.

In this situation, Nie Peixiao couldn't say any polite words, she could only silently swallow the endless bitterness, and said in a deep voice: "Shen Yu accepts the order."

Shen Yu was slightly taken aback, only then did he see that Nie Peixiao was holding a bright yellow silk in his hand.He was a little puzzled, but several years of official career experience had made him a habit, and he immediately knelt down on one knee to listen to the order.

"By God, the emperor ordered that Shen Yu, the Marquis of Weiyuan, saw through Ming's treacherous schemes and made great contributions in protecting him; reorganizing the northern garrison won my heart. It has been found out that the crime of murdering the emperor's descendants was a misjudgment. Now I obey the public opinion and reward you. For his meritorious service, he is bestowed the title of 'King of Weiyuan' and stationed at the northern border to protect the foundation of the country."

After reading this, Nie Peixiao deliberately raised her handsome eyes to see the astonishment of Shen Yu and Chuxiu, and then continued to announce the decree calmly: "Leave for the post within one month, and you are not allowed to return to Beijing without an order." . This is it.”

After the last two words fell, Shen Yu had to react for a long time before he came back to his senses, and immediately raised his hands to accept the order to thank him: "My humble minister, thank you Lord Long En, long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Nie Peixiao put together the bright yellow silk again, and solemnly handed it over to Shen Yu: "Congratulations, Zifeng. Now you are also crowned king."

Until this will was held in Shen Yu's hands, he still felt incredible.Why is there such a mutation?Yesterday the Emperor Tianshou wanted to kill him by decree, but today... he actually changed his mind to become king? !

"What about Hanchu?" Shen Yu suddenly remembered that Chuxiu was also given to death, so he asked again.

Nie Peixiao didn't see Xiu, she just pursed her lips and smiled back: "It's just an angry remark from Brother Huang, why take it seriously?"

Seeing Nie Peixiao's special and profound eyes, Shen Yu immediately understood, and his heart was even more moved: "Thank you for your care, Your Highness. I, Shen Yu, am grateful for Your Highness's great kindness."

He made a gesture to kneel down to Nie Peixiao, but he was naturally stopped by the other party's hand: "Don't break me, this is not what I did alone."

"Having said that, you must have put a lot of thought into it." Shen Yu wanted to express a thousand words, but choked up in his throat, only one sentence, "Your Highness has an order in the future, and I will definitely die."

After all, he is his own savior, and he also has the grace of supporting him.This friendship is difficult to repay even if you go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire.

Unexpectedly, Nie Peixiao smiled very frankly: "I can't bear your gratitude...I'm not all for you." After speaking, he didn't give Shen Yu a chance to speak, turned and walked out of the prison door.From the beginning to the end, he never looked at Chuxiu again.

"Your Highness!" Chuxiu didn't call out until Nie Peixiao walked out of the cell, "Thank you very much."

Nie Peixiao paused for a moment, didn't reply or turn around, but left at a faster pace.He knew that the two behind him must have something to say, and he also felt that he was a superfluous person. He was afraid that if he didn't leave, he would regret everything he had done today.So, he had no choice but to escape from this suffocating prison in Gyeonggi as soon as possible...

It wasn't until the other party had walked away that Shen Yu sighed towards the black iron prison door: "Actually, King Cheng is a gentleman in his bones, but he insists on treating himself as a villain."

Shen Yu saw this point as early as ten years ago when Han Chu was listed.Otherwise, with the influence of the nine princes at that time, how could He Lianqi have the chance to be delisted?

If ten years ago, Nie Peixiao really picked Han Chu's top card, what would it be like now?Perhaps, there would be no Mrs. Chuxiu, let alone King Weiyuan.

It's just that the king's decree came so suddenly that Shen Yu still felt it was illusory.But Chuxiu didn't know whether it was joy or sorrow, and he fell on his shoulder and cried bitterly.

The jailer originally planned to welcome the two of them out, but when he saw this situation, he had to avoid it temporarily, and retreated knowingly.

Shen Yu held the imperial decree in one hand, and embraced Chuxiu's jade back with the other, comforting him gently: "This is a good thing, why are you crying?"

Chu Xiuwu sobbed unceasingly, sobbed for a long time before saying: "Although Emperor Tianshou spared your death, the northern land is bitterly cold...you..."

She didn't continue talking, because she felt that this decree was up and down, and in the future there would be a disaster for the vassal king.With the narrow mind of the emperor granted by heaven, Shen Yu should never be let go so easily, let alone be treated favorably by the king.

But at least, his life is saved for now.Thinking of this, Chuxiu didn't want to disturb Shen Yu's interest, so he swallowed his worries and changed his words: "The northern land is bitterly cold, you must suffer..."

It turned out that she was worried about it.Shen Yu felt relieved, and said with a smile: "You have never been to Beidi Border Pass, so you don't know the benefits there. In winter, it is covered with snow, and it is very magnificent. People will feel at ease in their hearts, and it is a good place to go."

He glanced at the imperial decree in his hand, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind—a thought that should have been realized long ago: "Han Chu, marry me as Princess Weiyuan."

Sure enough, Chuxiu was startled when he heard the words, and gradually stopped crying.She slowly raised her head to look at Shen Yu, her beautiful eyes were full of tears, and she began to think carefully:

Now that Yun Cheng has been able to take charge of his own affairs, and the Yun family's incense has been passed on, it is time for her to retire.

Shen Yuruo was plotted against in Beidi, so he stayed by his side so that he could advise him.

At least, having her as Princess Weiyuan can guarantee that Shen Yu will not offend Longyan...

Chuxiu has been silent for a long time, Shen Yu waited for a long time, and his heart became anxious: "You should give me a happy word... Marry me, let's go to Beidi together?"

Seeing Shen Yu's anxious appearance, Chuxiu felt calm - since everything is inevitable, then the only thing to do is let nature take its course.

So, she raised her sleeves to wipe away the tears, and said with a hypocritical smile, "I'm afraid of the cold."

"I'm a doctor, so you don't have to worry about feeling cold." Shen Yu immediately retorted.

"I don't like snow."

"You haven't seen it yet, how do you know you don't like it?"

"Mother may not agree."

"I'll go and convince her old man."

"I... don't want to be Lao Shizi's princess."

"Who cares about being King Weiyuan? I don't accept this will either."

Shen Yu clearly knew Dexiu's careful thoughts, but he was afraid that she would really not agree.After all, this happiness comes too fast and too unreal, the closer it is, the more disturbing it is.

He looked at Chuxiu nervously, and made up his mind that no matter how difficult she was for him, he must let her nod and marry him.

"I have one last word." Chuxiu pretended to be reserved.

"Well, I'll listen." Shen Yu concentrated his attention, fearing that he might miss a single word.

Chuxiu raised her eyes to look at him, her face lost any expression, and she said solemnly: "Then I promise you." After speaking, she smiled through tears, and threatened lightly, "If you are not used to eating and living, I will do it myself." run back."

"How dare you!" Shen Yu's eyes tightened suddenly, he wrapped Chuxiu tightly in his arms, and said through gritted teeth, "Even if you run to the ends of the earth, I can chase you back!"

Chuxiu smiled lightly, and was about to speak back, but was suddenly kissed by Shen Yu.The kiss was very strong, and the two were attached to each other with lips and teeth, lingering endlessly.

Shen Yu was not willing to let her go until Chuxiu was kissed so badly and repeatedly begged for forgiveness, and said in a low voice, "This is a small punishment, and there will be 'heavy punishment' in the future." He said the last two words very ambiguously , Immediately, the face of Xiuxiu was red.

Fortunately, the jailer outside couldn't wait any longer, so he interrupted the two of them by clearing his throat, pretending to cough.

Chuxiu quickly regained consciousness and pushed Shen Yu away, and the two walked out of the cell one after the other.Stepping into this dark prison corridor again, Chuxiu no longer feels gloomy and cold, just because there is someone by her side who gives her endless warmth.

It takes a long time when it comes, and it goes fast when it goes.Outside the prison in Gyeonggi, Zhu Ying and Yue Wan had already been waiting here, one with a happy face and the other excited.

The former went up to meet him immediately, saying: "The carriages are all ready, just wait for Lord Hou and Madam to come out."

"What's 'Hou Ye', it's 'Wang Ye'!" Yue Wan immediately corrected Zhu Ying, and then stepped forward to grab Chu Xiu's catkin, sobbing and crying: "I was scared to death, it was really a thrill."

"Fortunately, there was no danger." Chuxiu had regained her composure, and comforted Yue Wan with a light smile.

"This place is ominous, let's talk about it after getting in the car." Zhu Ying led several people to the front of the carriage, and lifted the curtain to let Chuxiu and Yue Wan get into the carriage first.

Shen Yu was waiting to enter the room, when suddenly Zhu Ying whispered in his ear: "Mrs. Tai asked you to prepare generous gifts and come to propose marriage. The dowry she bought for Mrs. is only a lot more, so you will not lose money."

Hearing this, Shen Yu cheered up, and immediately smiled back: "Please don't worry, old man, I will marry even if I lose everything."

The two men smiled knowingly, and Shen Yu got into the carriage neatly.He took advantage of the situation and sat beside Chuxiu's body, holding one of her catkins tightly.Very firm.

The horse neighed for a long time, and the carriage rumbled along.Shen Yu knew that the future would be a new starting point and a new journey for his life.He is full of confidence in this future.

Washing away all the glories of the world and fading their fame, the two people who have gone through ups and downs finally joined hands together.

This is another way of love, and it is a lifetime of companionship.Even if the road ahead is vast and unknown, you can be fearless.

The sky is not old, this situation is inevitable.
