It's better to fall in love than seize the heir

Jade Butterfly stared at the clothes handed to her, and was taken aback.

She took a deep look at the shopkeeper, and suddenly smiled again.

"The tailoring of this dress is quite to my liking...then I will trouble the shopkeeper."

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter." The shopkeeper bent down and pointed towards the small cubicle in the back of the store, "Please also ask the girl to move here to try on clothes."

Jade Butterfly took the clothes and walked towards the cubicle. Seeing the strong man behind him hesitating whether to follow up, she stopped and smiled coldly.

"Why, do you want to continue to watch me try on clothes?"

"My subordinates dare not."

The strong man replied stiffly, standing about five steps away from the compartment, looking around vigilantly.

Jade Butterfly breathed a sigh of relief secretly, opened the door of the compartment a little, got in and locked it tightly immediately.

As soon as she turned around, she met a pair of eyes as clear as the light of a lake.

Shen Jinghe looked at Jade Butterfly's slightly frightened expression, bowed helplessly, and said softly:

"Miss Yu, I'm really sorry, people outside are following closely, so I can only meet you like this, how rude."

Jade Butterfly quickly regained her composure and hung the dress on the wooden frame beside the wall.

"It doesn't matter... There are so many eyes staring at Qinfang in the open and in the dark. General Liang was able to shoot the dart wrapped in the secret letter into my bedpost. I don't know how much risk I took. Now that I have accepted the letter, how can I not come to see it face to face? Say?"

The look in Shen Jinghe's eyes became serious: "Miss Yu, it is now the final critical moment. Liang Yan also made things clear in the secret letter. Since you are willing to come to the appointment, have you decided to tell us the secret? "

"I know..." Tears gradually welled up in Yu Die Die's eyes, but she still refused to let them fall. "Sanlang... the third prince did deploy soldiers in private. I heard the voice of him discussing with Grand Master Xu."

Shen Jinghe took a light breath and paused every word.

"So, can you tell me where he deployed his soldiers?"

But Jade Butterfly fell silent for a long time, her eye circles were red, and tears finally rolled down her face uncontrollably.

"He may not be a good person, but the way he looked at me was never fake."

Shen Jinghe was also silent.He naturally knew Yu Die Die's complicated but sincere affection for Shen Zhuomin, and he also knew how cruel it was to force her to speak now.

Once this step is taken, for Jade Butterfly, it will be a complete determination and betrayal.

However, he could only spit out words with difficulty.

"According to his nature, there will be unjust cases in the future."

Jade Butterfly's mood suddenly dawned, and thousands of intertwined memories flashed before his eyes like a fleeting image.The butterfly in the deep courtyard when I was a child, flew over the Lingling Qixian, flew over the fragrant flowers, and flew through the night to reflect the dream of tears, and once again settled on her fingertips.

Her pupils were blank for a moment, and gradually condensed into a deep calm.When he spoke again, his voice became hoarse for no reason.

"...After the matter is completed, life and death are in harmony, please allow me to accompany him."

When Shen Jinghe left the cubicle, a moment had passed since Jade Butterfly left.The shopkeeper didn't seem to notice the man who suddenly appeared in his shop, his eyes flashed, and he continued to greet the customers without touching his feet.

Shen Jinghe smiled, didn't say anything, and walked towards the back door familiarly.

Pushing open the low wooden door, a tall figure leaning against the wall with folded arms raised his head following the sound, and when he saw him, he lowered his arms and quickly stood up straight.

"Finished?"

"The talk is over." Shen Jinghe got the news as he wished, but his mood was not as relaxed as imagined.

Liang Yan has successfully regained his military power due to the bandit rebellion in the border towns of the capital some time ago, and now he should be commanding the military situation in the suburbs of Beijing, but he suddenly appeared in this inconspicuous alley in the capital.If it is seen by others, it is inevitable to be shocked.

However, neither Shen Jinghe nor Liang Yan himself expressed any doubts about this.

After all, the so-called banditry was just a play planned by them from beginning to end.

Seeing his slightly heavy look, Liang Yan knew why in his heart, but he didn't say it clearly.Just like what I have repeated countless times in the past, I gently hugged the person into my arms, and gently stroked the top of the hair with one hand.

"It will be fine, everything will be fine."

……

In the middle of the night, the cold moonlight passed over the crumbling spider threads under the eaves, and the hoarse and ear-piercing cry of the jackdaws made people shudder.

In the remote and lonely dilapidated palace of the Forbidden Palace, a woman with disheveled hair and ragged clothes was sitting slumped beside the palace gate, her skinny fingers were bent, scratching the palace door once and for all, and her long nails scratched and made teeth sour. the sound of.

"Hehehe..." There was a weird laugh, his voice was hoarse because he hadn't uttered for a long time, "What about Hao'er, why hasn't Hao'er from my palace come to see my concubine..."

Misty, like ghosts may cry.

The two guards at the door had goosebumps all over their bodies, and cursed as usual.

"Crazy woman, what are you arguing about! Do you think you are the high-ranking Concubine Duan? You gave birth to a son who rebelled and forced the palace. It's nostalgic for His Majesty to leave you alone in the cold palace. Why are you still here!"

"What about Hao'er?" Another guard sneered from his nostrils, "Eldest Prince, ah, it's the traitor Shen Zhuohao, he died under the arrows a long time ago! His Majesty ordered it himself, haha Ha ha……"

The woman in the palace was irritated, and the face covered with scars like a ghost burst into anger: "Nonsense, you are all talking nonsense! Hao'er won't...and neither will His Majesty!"

Concubine Duan twisted and struggled from the ground to get up, and slammed into the door of the palace again and again. The heavy door made a loud "bang bang", and the falling dust covered her head and face. As if he didn't realize it, he still slapped the palace door vigorously.

"Let me go out! You bloody sluts, let me go out!"

The guards mocked and snorted coldly, and turned their heads to confirm that the huge copper lock at the entrance of the hall was firmly fastened, "If you have the strength, then continue to hit. Maybe you will really go out after bumping into each other? Hahahaha..."

"Don't pay attention to her! Let's go, it's really unlucky to guard this crazy woman in the middle of the night. I'll buy you a drink." The guard on the left said.

The guard on the right looked at the palace door hit by Perseverance, a little hesitant: "Will this be..."

"What are you afraid of? How many years has she been locked up here, do you really think you can run out without looking at it overnight?" The guard on the left left with his companion's shoulders indifferently, "Let's go, let this crazy woman continue her life." Go crazy!"

Concubine Duan heard the conversation between the two and the sound of footsteps gradually going away, but suddenly stopped the crazy collision, lowered her head and kept shrugging her shoulders, and smiled strangely.

"Ha ha……"

The person who appeared in the cold palace before was right. The guards were slack tonight, so she finally had the chance to go out and find her Haoer...

She turned her neck, and her lifeless eyes slowly drifted to a small hidden door behind the palace.

The abandoned small door was supposed to be tightly locked, but at some point, a crack was faintly opened, revealing a ray of moonlight.

Concubine Duan crawled out on both hands and feet, and the stubble caught a few strands of thread in her tattered dress.When she finally stood on the barren open space outside the palace gate, the cold night air surrounded and wrapped her in an instant, but she ignored the coldness and obsessively sucked in the long-lost fresh breath.

She looked around in a dazed and dark way, there was no one around, except for the chirping of insects.

Where should I find her Hao'er?

The mocking insults from the guards surged into her heart again, Concubine Duan suddenly turned her head to a distant direction, her muddy eyes gradually turned into sternness and resentment.

Hao'er, her Hao'er...

The emperor put down the imperial pen, sealed the last memorial, and put it on one side of the table.When he stood up, he staggered two steps due to dizziness due to the long-term busyness, propped himself up on the table, and let out a few muffled coughs.

"Your Majesty." Dequan hurriedly stepped forward to give the emperor the best of luck, "Your Majesty is worried about state affairs, but you must also pay attention to the dragon's body. It's late at night, Your Majesty should go back to bed and rest as soon as possible."

"It's okay." The emperor finally stopped coughing, waved his hands, and his eyes sank, "There are too many people making small moves these days. According to my opinion, some people are too impatient to sit still."

But Dequan didn't dare to answer these words, he carefully put on his outer robe for the emperor, watched his nose, nose, nose and heart, stepped aside and waited.

The emperor paced back to the bedroom while thinking about political affairs. When he passed the palace gate, his keen intuition that he had been the emperor for many years suddenly felt something was wrong. It seemed that a gaze mixed with resentment and insidiousness was fixed on him.

"who!"

The emperor yelled, and quickly turned to face the palace gate, and the extremely oppressive Longwei spread.

The guard at the gate froze, and immediately drew his knife vigilantly to block the entrance of the hall, his sharp eyes constantly scanning the dark environment under the night.

nobody.Only the gloomy and roaring night wind blew past, disturbing the branches, leaves and tree shadows, and the overlapping strange shadows swayed like ghosts.

"Your Majesty—" the guards looked at each other, and hesitantly turned around to ask the emperor for instructions.

Just at this moment, a white figure suddenly flew out of the shadow like lightning, its hair scattered, and its skinny fingertips almost poked the emperor's eyes, screaming loudly:

"Return this Gong Hao'er!"

The emperor was stunned by the sudden change, and stood there dumbfounded, watching those red eyes getting closer and closer, and a rotten and dull stench came to his face——

"Escort! Still not escorting!"

It was Dequan who was the first to react, and rushed forward to stop the emperor.The guard, who was also terrified by the ghost-like woman and lost her ability to move, just woke up like a dream at this moment, and rushed over and grabbed the woman's shoulders and threw her to the ground hard, quickly subduing her.

"Ah—ah! Let go of me, you let go of me! He killed Hao'er, and I want him to pay for it! Ah—"

The woman who was kneeling on the ground with her hands cut behind her back still refused to let her go. She twitched and twitched crazily.The guards dripped cold sweat from their foreheads. They didn't know why this crazy woman could burst out with such strange strength. They tried their best to barely let her break free.

Hearing her crazy and dirty curses, her mean and stern laughter, and seeing the vaguely familiar face under the filth and scars, the emperor couldn't recover for a long time.

His eyelids kept twitching and throbbing. Even though he tried his best to calm down, his heart, which was clenched by the great shock, still couldn't calm down as he wished. It was beating like it was going to jump out of his chest.

"You are... Concubine Duan?"

The emperor turned slightly pale, staring closely at the once beautiful face.

The filthy woman who was too thin to be human finally stopped struggling, her face covered with dust and blood smears twitched, and slowly burst into a strange smile illuminated by the moonlight.

"Your Majesty...has he finally remembered the concubine? The concubine is back, and has come back to ask His Majesty to pay for her life."

The hoarse and mocking voice was like a knife cutting through glass, piercing and horrifying.

"Hao'er...is back too."
