The eldest princess and Li [rebirth]

The room was as silent as no one, Lu Shi's footsteps stopped in front of the couch, and his eyes fell on the scarlet color on the lips of the person on the couch.

Suddenly her mind went blank, she seemed to be drowning in a vast ocean, holding a straw tightly in her hand, she didn't know what the source of the straw was, she walked over quickly, and the straw fell from her hand.

The person on the couch let her completely drown in the water.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..." She suddenly felt a pain in her heart, and hurried over to hug Chu Ran, the cold skin made all the fear dormant in the darkness burst out.

She panicked and called Chu Ran repeatedly: "Your Highness..."

Those cold and unwavering eyes were full of fear, she hugged her tightly in her hands suddenly, and stared down at her peaceful face in a daze, her eyes were closed, like a deep sleep, the kind of deep sleep that can never wake up .

The vicissitudes of life and dry paleness made Lu Shi completely calm down.

The staff then arrived. Seeing this scene, his knees softened and he knelt down. He miscalculated which step, even if Chu Li gained power, His Highness would not be in a completely defeated situation, and he would not end it by himself.

He couldn't see Lu Xiang's expression clearly, he only felt grief and anger in the air, "Lu Xiang, Your Highness is in good health."

"If it's not good, how could we go out yesterday." Lu Shi lowered his head and smiled, full of bitterness.

Planning for many days, I just want to meet her and be with her all the time, no matter where I am.

Now she can only look at her intently, unable to do anything.

After all, it was half a step late.

It would be great if she came yesterday.

In the spring of Xinping, there is greenness that cannot be seen in Yingdu City.Outside the green hills, inside the courtyard, the vegetation is verdant.

Chu Ran's death was peaceful and silent. He only sent a letter back to the capital city of Ying, and died of a serious illness.

The letter was spoken by Lu Shi and written by his staff, with a few words and no emotions, as if a commoner passed away without any disturbance.

Lu Shi couldn't figure out Chu Ran's mind, and asked his staff about her past life, but he liked to sit in the courtyard and play chess.She asked people to move Chu Ran's couch, sat on her favorite place, touched the chess piece she had touched countless times, and there was a trace of melancholy in her eyes.

She touched the chess pieces, closed her eyes, and tears rolled down her eyes, silently.

The chess pieces seemed to have the residual warmth of Chu Ran in her hands, which made her reluctant to let go.In the world, she only has the concern of His Highness.

Yuzi was warm, and scenes of the old days flashed before her eyes, she covered her face suddenly, tears slipped through her fingers, she couldn't chase the past, she missed it after all.

The staff found several handwritten letters from Chu Ran, put them in a box, and presented them to Prime Minister Lu, "Your Highness doesn't like to write too much when he is here. The chess is in your hands, and there are still a few books left. Let someone pack it for you."

Lu Shi straightened up, straight as a green pine, and the tears were gently wiped away, "Thank you for your hard work, if you want to go to Yingdu, come back with me."

"Although Xinping is poor, it is a safe place after all. It is enough for the ministers to guard His Highness here."

The princess is buried here, if she doesn't go back to Yingdu, someone has to guard her.

Lu Shi half-lyed on the recliner, his eyes darkened, "Has your Highness ever had contact with the Lian family in the northwest?" The northwest land is too unusual, and she dare not speculate on the relationship between His Highness and the Lian family.

At the current place, the staff did not dare to hide anything, and said truthfully: "His Highness once told Liancheng to recharge his energy and store up his energy, and protect others first."

"Protect others first, protect yourself?" Lu Shi didn't understand what he meant, if she insisted on leaving, Liancheng could protect herself, but who else would she need to protect?

The aides didn't know the specifics and intentions, so they just said: "Your Highness never said, but the Lian Family Army can assist Prime Minister Lu."

Lu Shi understood what Chu Ran meant, and he knew what she did was like moths flying into the flames, winning or not was no longer so important.

"Send a letter to Liancheng, His Highness's death is related to Chu Li."

The aide was shocked, "Is this too much?" His Highness was most concerned about his family during his lifetime, and Lu Xiang's move angered Liancheng. Don't you know that young people will do irrational things on the spur of the moment?

Lu Xiang said indifferently: "It's okay."

The staff did not dare to follow her order, which was contrary to His Highness's thoughts.

"You don't want to do it, I believe that what the Prime Minister's Mansion said is more credible than yours." Lu Xiang stood up, the bitterness in his eyes dissipated, and turned into a touch of determination.

After all, the staff did not obey the order, so he dared not do it.

Before Lu Xiang left, he wrote a letter dear, put his own token on it, and asked his confidant to send it. In this way, Liancheng must be credible.

Three months later, when they returned to the capital city of Ying, the northwest was in chaos.

His Majesty is seriously ill, and the power of the government falls into the hands of Chu Li. He pretends to be a filial son in front of His Majesty, serving soup and medicine, and his virtuous name is praised by people.

After Lu Shi returned to Beijing, he didn't compete with him, but dealt with it calmly, but many people tried to test him and asked about his marriage.

There was no one around Lu Xiang, and the status of a powerful minister was embarrassing. Many people tried to test Mrs. Lu, which made her moved and went to the Xiang's mansion from time to time to persuade her.

Chu's folk customs are open, and many people took the initiative to stop her at the banquet, asking her about her love, and the new prince Chu Li was even more concerned about this, and personally asked His Majesty to marry her.

The emperor of Chu ignored the government affairs, and it was Chu Li who gave the marriage. Unexpectedly, he was rejected in public.

At this time, Xiqiang invaded the northwest city, and the Lianjia army stood and retreated.

Chu Li was busy with His Majesty's funeral, and had no time to distract Xiqiang, so he handed over the battle to Lu Shi and the six tribes.

Lu Shi went to the northwest in person, and saw a refreshed Liancheng on the battlefield. The young man stood upright with a sword in his hand, and said, "Chu is in chaos, should the prime minister panic?"

"What's the matter?" Lu Xiang looked calmly, looked at the tens of thousands of soldiers in the camp, and sighed for a long time, "Your Highness probably doesn't want to see this scene."

"I don't think so. Your Highness loves Chudi, but he was abandoned. My family has guarded the Northwest for more than ten years. Erlang died on the battlefield because of it, but what I got was jealousy. I am not as loyal as my father and grandfather in Liancheng. It is better to let it go." nature."

The scenery at the foot of the mountain was beautiful, which didn't match the tense battle. The camped soldiers hid in the mountain, watching the Xiqiang army rush across the Chu land, and let them rush south to the direction of Yingdu.

The Western Qiang army was in a state of turmoil, and the Chu army was in a panic, throwing away their helmets and armors one after another.

After the Chu army conquered the Song Dynasty, there was some negligence in military matters. The late emperor died, and the country was in the midst of mourning. It was not expected that Xiqiang would rush to the capital of Ying so soon.

When the soldiers approached the city, Chu Lifang was immersed in the joy of enthroning, and he did not panic when he saw the enemy army, so he quickly dispatched troops to rescue.

After making several orders in a row, he was isolated and helpless, and the military commander seemed to have no intention of helping.

At this time, Lu Shi returned to Xinping, and the position of prime minister was vain. She abandoned everything and returned to the place where Chu Ran once lived with a game of chess.

When the staff saw her going back and forth, they were shocked, and hurriedly invited people into the palace, and placed her in the courtyard where Princess Xinping once lived.

Xinping is located in a remote area, separated from the north and south, and has not been affected by the war, and the people still live and work in peace and contentment.The staff only knew about the war, but not the specific situation. Xinping was too far away to know everything.

Curious in his heart, he couldn't bear to ask: "President Lu is not leaving?"

"Yue Mo will not leave, and I will live here temporarily. By the way, if you want to earn some money, go north to chase Liancheng."

"Prime Minister, can you say something more? I don't know about it, but I have a passion for it." The staff didn't dare to answer, they only knew that Liancheng lost the northwest and was scolded by others.

Lu Xiang looked at the greenery in the courtyard, and the corners of his lips twitched slightly, "Yingdu is in dire straits, I'm afraid I don't have time to take care of it. Your Highness is here, I'll just guard."

She can't guard the living, and seeing a grave is also a way to make up for her guilt.

Looking at his calm expression, the staff tried their best to suppress the panic in their hearts: "Does General Lian have his own calculations?"

"There is a lack of wisdom around Liancheng, so it's just right for you to go." Lu Shi said.

The staff were overwhelmed by flattery, and said in panic: "President Lu praises me, but my subordinates are dull."

"You go, I just told you that you are a subject of His Highness." Feeling tired, Lu Shi waved his hand to signal him to retreat, lying on the couch where His Highness used to sleep, and when he closed his eyes, the staff stepped back.

Xinping is peaceful every day, and Lu Shi also likes to sit in the courtyard and play chess with himself, ignoring world affairs, and passing slowly.

When the staff left, they handed over the power of Xinping to the prime minister, and he left freely without any worries.He doesn't care who the monarch of Chu is, he only knows whether the people are happy or not.

The same is true for Lu Shi.

Xinping is considered Anshun, she doesn't go to the grave, but lives in the courtyard as Chu Ran used to, playing chess by herself.

She often touched the chess pieces and stared at the sky, as if there was Chu Ran there, and she felt better after taking a look.

There are hardly any traces left by Chu Ran in Xinping Hall. She seems to be a passing guest, staying for a few days, coming here and leaving in a hurry.

Lu Shi saw her scribbled handwriting on Chu Ran's handwriting, which described the scenery of various places in Yingdu City.

There are many scenic spots in Yingdu City, and even Lu Shi has not been to them all. He only took Chu Ran to two places after getting married.

At that time, the two had different thoughts, and there were always other meanings in their words when they talked, which made people confused.Whenever she asked more questions, Chu Ran would avoid talking about it.

It was true to use it before, but after the death of the prince, she quickly made a decision, why not use it to the end, but returned to the fief to live alone.

She couldn't figure out what His Highness was thinking, and after thinking about it, there was only one explanation, His Highness didn't want to drag her down.

That's all!

The weather in Xinping is very cold, and it has already snowed in October in Fangjin.

When the branches were covered with snow, Chu Li was forced to die in the palace, and Lian Cheng led his troops back to Yingdu to rescue, and supported the fourth prince's ascension to the throne.

When the news reached Xinping, it was New Year's Eve.

Lu Shi was doing it alone around the stove, holding the dumpling wrapper in his hand, his dry eyes were as calm as water, he didn't speak, just holding the dumpling quietly.

On New Year's Eve, she made a plate of dumplings and asked someone to deliver them to Liancheng. I hope he understands what it means.

After February of the new year, the new emperor bestowed the land of Xinping on Prime Minister Lu Shi, thanking her for her assistance.No one else knew why he thanked him, but Lian Cheng, as a general who fought on the battlefield, knew it.

Thank her for holding down the general and not going to rescue Yingducheng.

Chu Li is the new emperor. In terms of connections and roots, he can't compare to the prime minister who has been rooted in the court for many years.

In March, Lu Shi went to Qingshan for an outing, took in the scenery of Xinping, walked the way Chu Ran used to go, and finally drank the wine she made.

There is poison in the wine.

After the last care disappeared, she had nothing to worry about.
