The world's ambitions are unparalleled

Chapter 111 The Embroidered Curtain Has Fallen Out of the Parting Dream (3)
"Girl, everything in this world is fair. If you get some, you are doomed to lose others. It is also human nature for someone to be willing to sacrifice some in exchange for what he thinks is worth it."

Haitang told her so.

Jinse believed that Su Mo's sacrifice was indeed the continuation of her reputation, but she did not believe that he just passed away and left her alone in the world.

Even if she went to see Su Mo's mausoleum in person, saw the stele erected for him in front of the mausoleum and the closed underground palace, she still didn't believe it.

He had always known that she was most afraid of loneliness, and he would not be willing to leave her alone in the world to experience this long and lonely rest of her life.

Haitang is good at medicine and is also a good cook. Under her care, Jinse's health recovered very quickly. In just over a month, she was no different from ordinary people.

Su Li often came to visit her, but he couldn't see her often.Since she recovered, she went out early and returned late every day, and he rarely saw her.He knew what she was busy with, or, he knew who she was looking for.

It was raining lightly that day, and when Jinse returned from outside in the evening, her body was already soaked, but when she walked into the yard, she suddenly found a person standing under the eaves.

Su Li watched her come back from the outside with heavy eyes. The spring was cold and she came back so wet that her lips were black and blue from the cold, but she still didn't notice it. When she saw him, she was a little surprised: "Why are you here?"

Foreign enemies invaded and the court was chaotic. He should have been too busy and should not have appeared here.

Su Li paused, but did not tell her that he had been here for several days, but today, he chose to leave the palace in the evening, so he finally got to see her.

"Go and change your clothes first." He said in a deep voice.

After hearing this, Jinse went in and changed into clean clothes before coming out again. He was still standing under the eaves, quietly looking at the dense rain curtain.

She stood in the hall and looked at his back, lost her mind in a daze.

He and Su Mo's figure are really similar.But if it was Su Mo, how could he use his back to face her?
Seemingly aware of her behind him, Su Li suddenly said, "Jinse, come here."

She regained her senses, walked forward slowly, and stood by his side.

"I came today to take you into the palace." He said suddenly.

Hearing this, Jinse suddenly turned around and walked into the house. Su Li stretched out his hand and grabbed her wrist: "He entrusted me with this world and you. Now that he is dead, how can I let him go?" Are you so dazed?"

"Is he really dead?" she asked softly, looking into his eyes.

Su Li's eyes were dark, and he said coldly, "Yes."

She immediately replied: "I don't believe it. Do you dare to open his tomb and let me go in and have a look? I will only believe it when I see his body with my own eyes."

He looked down at her, his face sinking like water, without saying a word.

Jinse suddenly laughed: "In the first half of my life, I was cautious, compromised, and never dared to act recklessly. But now, since I have the chance to be reborn, I must really live for myself. The palace has never been Where I want to be."

But Su Li still held her tightly: "As long as you want, the palace wall is nothing to you. You can come in and out as you like, and I will never restrict you. I just... hope you are by my side, I When I want to talk to you, I can come and see you."

"What about him?" She looked at him in a daze, "who can he talk to now?"

His eyes tightened suddenly: "He is dead!"

"He didn't." She shook her head lightly, and slowly stroked her heart with the other hand, "I can feel that he's still there."

After that day, everything was the same as before, the only difference was that Jinse found herself restricted out of the city.When she walked to the gate of the city, all pedestrians could come and go freely, only she would be blocked and could not take a step.

Su Li did not force her not to enter the palace, but she was not allowed to take a step out of the capital.

The huge capital suddenly turned into a cage. She had enough freedom, but she was still locked up.

When Su Li came out of the palace to see her again, it was much easier to see her. Every time he came to this small courtyard, he could always see her sitting in the courtyard.

"Come back to the palace with me, okay?" Every time he came, he always asked.

And every time, Jinse's answer is the same.

"You said before that as long as I am willing, the palace wall can be nothing to me. Now, just because I refuse to enter the palace, a bigger cage is used to imprison me. If I really enter the palace, you It’s okay to not count what you said, right?”

"When have I ever told you a lie?"

Jinse stood up suddenly: "Then you don't remember what I said in Qionggu before?"

He also turned his eyes to look at her: "The situation that day can't be compared with today! I only wanted you to live a peaceful and happy life that day, so I let you go. You knew that what you said that day was insincere, so why bother to press me now?" ?”

Jinse froze slightly, but at the end, she smiled wryly: "But what I said that day was from the heart, and there was no falsehood."

Su Li squeezed her hand suddenly, his eyes were determined: "This time, I will never let go."

She looked at him and remained silent for a long time, then suddenly took a deep breath and said, "The world or me, which one do you choose?"

His eyes turned cold: "Now, I don't need to choose between the two, I want both."

"No, you have to choose." She looked at him quietly, "Do you still remember the reason why the Yi clan was exterminated? Don't you want to know the secret of 'Tianxiazhi'?"

Su Li suddenly snorted coldly: "Do you think I really believe that there is such a thing in the world?"

"Yes, of course!" Jinse raised her head slightly, "Have you forgotten that I lived in that mountain for several years. The biggest secret of the Yi people has finally been known to me. Your greatest ambition in life, no Do you want to unify the five kingdoms of the Central Plains? With this thing, you can realize your lifelong wish. So, do you still insist on choosing me?"

He looked at her quietly for a long time, and a self-deprecating smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth: "You don't want to know which one I will choose, but you don't believe that I will choose you at all. You are sure that you will exchange this thing, I will definitely let you go. Then let me tell you, no. Even if there is no 'Tianxia Zhi', I will devote my whole life to realize the unification of the five kingdoms!"

"What about Zhongli's army that is dominating the south bank of the Qingjiang River?" Jinse said aggressively like never before, "You led them there personally, but now they have become your biggest predicament. How do you get out of it? If they come again After crossing the Qingjiang River, Qingyue's power will be in jeopardy, and if you can't even keep Qingyue, how can you talk about the unification of the Five Kingdoms?"

Jinse never expected that her words would become a prophecy.The next day, the news that Zhongli's army had crossed the Qingjiang River spread back to the capital, and quickly spread among the common people. Suddenly, the city was full of panic and everyone was in danger.

Qingjiang can be said to be the last natural barrier for Qingyue to resist the invasion of foreign enemies. Now that Zhongli's army has crossed Qingjiang, the situation of Qingyue has really taken a turn for the worse.

Under such circumstances, Su Li did not go out to see Jinse for a few days, but Jinse received a letter from Zhongli at this time.

Haitang didn't know what letter Jinse had received, she just knew that after reading the letter, she was stunned, sitting in the courtyard for a long time holding the letter paper, her eyes full of worry.

It was the first time Haitang saw her look like this since she woke up.

"What's the matter?" After letting herself be quiet for a while, Haitang finally walked over and asked.

"It's a letter from Lingluo." Jinse now fully trusts Haitang and doesn't shy away from it, so she directly handed the letter to her.

Haitang opened it and looked, but it was a somewhat weird letter, without beginning or end, just asking Jinse to go to her, saying that she had something important to ask.

"Lingluo wouldn't write such a letter to me for no reason, something must have happened." Jinse was so anxious that she fidgeted, and after a while, she made up her mind, "I'm going to find Lingluo."

She grew up with Lingluo since she was a child. Although she has been deceived for more than ten years, she actually knows Lingluo's temperament very well. This sudden letter is definitely not a good omen.

After Jinse finished speaking, she suddenly looked up at Haitang, and said in a low voice, "Haitang, is there a way for you to take me out of here?"

Hearing this, Haitang felt helplessness flash across her face, she frowned, and said, "Nowadays, we are surrounded by the emperor's people, and I can't take you away with my own strength, unless someone can come from the side assist."

Jinse's mind was in a mess, but upon hearing the words, she forced herself to calm down, pondered for a moment, and suddenly a person appeared in her mind: "Lu Li!"

The next day, at noon, Jinse left the house, took a carriage, and went straight to Lu Li's mansion.

Lu Li, an idle Marquis, was not at the mansion, so the housekeeper welcomed Jinse in, and after a short wait, Lu Li came back.

He should have rushed back after hearing that she was coming, and he yelled as soon as he entered the flower hall: "Lady, you finally want to come and see me!"

To this day, he still hasn't changed the name he called her at the beginning, and Jinse has no time to worry about it, just bows his head and smiles helplessly.

Lu Li sat down beside her, looked at the expression on her face with his head, and suddenly sighed: "The lady is no longer as thin as before, she really looks good!"

Jinse was slightly taken aback, but what she remembered in her mind was that when she was in Qionggu, she once told Su Mo that even if she was gone, she hoped that he could eat well.But now, he is not by her side, so she will eat well as agreed, and wait for him to come back.

Seeing her appearance, Lu Li knew that she was sad about Su Mo's matter, so he sighed softly, "It's my fault that I made my lady sad."

Jinse heard the words, and said by the way: "Then how do you make up for it?"

"How do you want me to make it up?" Lu Li suddenly laughed and looked at her with raised eyebrows.

"I want to leave the capital." Jinse said seriously.

Lu Li was stunned for a moment, and immediately showed a heartbroken look: "You came to me for this matter? It really hurts so much..."

"Lu Li!" Jin Se frowned slightly, "I'm telling you seriously."

Hearing this, Lu Li laughed again: "My lady, I am just a Marquis of Jing'an who lives under the fence. Although I am rich, I still depend on the emperor's face. Sigh, I know he is nervous about you, so I won't let you go." Go, if I help you, wouldn't it be blatantly against the emperor? If the emperor blames me, I can't bear it!"

What Jinse was waiting for was his words, and immediately replied: "I will give you a great credit, which is enough to make your merits and demerits equal."

Lu Li slightly raised his eyebrows, full of interest: "Oh? If you know the current situation, the only credit that can impress the emperor is that you can defeat Zhongli and return Qingyue to complete the river and mountain. I don't know what tricks the lady can make me. offset?"

Jinse looked at him, and suddenly said: "Lu Sanfen, the reason why you are called Lu Sanfen is because you have three cents of the world's wealth, but the people all over the world think you have nine cents. Between three and nine, still There are six cents, do you know where the six cents are?"

Hearing this, Lu Li finally put away his cynical expression and looked at Jinse seriously.

"If you get this six cents, whether you use it for yourself, or use it to lure the enemy to go deep, you can reverse the current disadvantage that Qingyue is facing, don't you think?"

Lu Li suddenly said, "Do you know where the six cents are?"

Jinse nodded: "Is it enough to offset your merits and demerits?"

Lu Li was surprised, but also excited by it, his eyes lit up: "Could it be that in the legend of the Yi clan, the 'Tianxia Zhi' that can get the world is not about the art of war and the good strategy of governing the country, but wealth?"

The wealth in the world is ten percent, and if the Nayi clan accounts for six percent, then it can indeed be regarded as the world's wealth, because in the world, it is unrivaled wealth!

Jinse breathed a sigh of relief, as if finally relieved, looked at him and said, "Now, can you help me?"

After a moment's pause, Lu Li smiled: "My wife owes you love, but she returns it with the wealth of the world. She is so heroic. As a man, how can Lu refuse to help?"

Three months later.

When Jinse and Haitang crossed the battle line and finally arrived at the small village where Su Ran and Ling Luo lived in seclusion, it was already warm spring and peach blossoms were everywhere.

However, here, Jinse's heart was wounded to ashes overnight.

The house with gray tiles and white walls behind the clear water was empty and dusty.

But she just found a babbling boy at a neighbor's house. When she saw her, the boy's dark eyes were full of curiosity, but there was no trace of fear.

Those were a pair of Su Ran's eyes, but the look in them was like the green lotus in childhood.

Jinse didn't dare to look at it at all, and turned her back, her eyes were already wet with tears.

Haitang patted Jinse's shoulder lightly, and said in a low voice, "All of this is probably predestined, so don't be too sad."

Jin Se shook her head: "It's my fault, I harmed Lingluo... I knew that Su Ran was thinking about her sister, but I deceived myself—"

"Do you think she doesn't know?" Haitang sighed suddenly, and said, "As a woman, how could she not be aware of whether the man who is with her every day loves her or not? Who is it that Su Ran fell in love with?" Her face is still her, but she knows it very well. Maybe, it’s just like you, deceiving yourself... In fact, both of them are deceiving themselves. One day, one will collapse first, and the other will collapse first. Alone, naturally there is no other way out."

Jinse weeps, silently looking into the distance.

"Since she wrote you a letter in advance, it can be seen that she has long been planning to die with Su Ran. In fact, according to her temperament, it should be her limit to lie to herself for so long. It is actually her who will take this road Choose, you don’t have to blame yourself.”

After Jinse heard this, her eyes became even more terrified.

Lingluo... is dead.

She killed Su Ran first, and then chose to commit suicide.

In the past, Lu He died once in her arms, and now, Ling Luo has finally left completely.

From then on, she never saw Lu He or Ling Luo again.

Haitang sighed softly, looked at the little boy in front of her, stepped forward and hugged him, then returned to Jinse, pointed Jinse to the child, and coaxed: "Come on, call me auntie."

Jinse paused for a while, and finally looked away slowly, looking at the boy again.

The boy looked at her, and after a long time, he blurted out the address: "Auntie..."

Jinse felt more and more sad, and finally stretched out her hand to hold him in her arms, caressing the child's face, and finally couldn't help crying.After a long time, she stopped crying and said in a low voice: "Xun'er, call me mother, I am your mother..."

The child, who had lost his parents for several months, looked at her for a long time before finally calling out again: "Mother."

Jinse looked at the child and finally smiled with tears in her eyes.

Haitang watched from the side, and finally heaved a sigh of relief: "Next, where are you going?"

Jinse came back to her senses, took a deep breath, looked at her, and smiled: "Find a quiet place and wait for him to come back. Tell me, where is the place where he can find me after he comes back?"

Haitang heard this, her eyes flickered for a moment, and Fang said: "Since you insist on waiting, why not go find my brother. He has a pharmacy in Anping Town, Jinli Country, but because he has been traveling all year round, no one takes care of it. You If you want, you can take this child and settle down there."

When Jinse heard her words, it seemed that she would no longer walk with her, so she couldn't help asking: "What about you?"

"Me?" Haitang chuckled, turned her head and looked into the distance, "I'm going to find a good man, and then marry myself off!"

Jinse was slightly taken aback, Haitang turned her head to look at her again, and said with a smile: "I won't be as stupid as Lingluo, who desperately loves someone. If the person I love doesn't think about me, Then I will choose the next best thing, find someone who has me in my heart, and let him live forever. What do you think?"

The person they love is probably the same, right?Jinse's heart trembled slightly, and after a long pause, Fang whispered: "I think...you will be happy."

Hearing this, Haitang laughed loudly: "Thank you."
