mountain and river oath

The door was opened suddenly, and Zhao Chong walked in abruptly wearing a red auspicious uniform. He saw Zhao Jing sitting on the side, and said dissatisfiedly, "You go out, let's have a few words."

Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan, Shu Zilan nodded slightly,

"I'm relaxing in the yard." Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and said, then turned and walked out.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Chong coldly, without speaking, the room was silent for a moment.

"Let's talk." Zhao Chong looked at Shu Zilan and said.

Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Chong's bright red body and felt it was dazzling. He turned his head away from Zhao Chong, trying his best to suppress the impulse and sadness welling up in his heart.

Seeing Shu Zilan's lonely expression, Zhao Chong knew that he was very sad, so he said in a low voice, "Rong Qing, I made you sad."

"Let's end it," Shu Zilan said suddenly.

"What did you say?" Zhao Chong said incredulously, "Just because I got married, I am the prince, how can I not get married, you will inherit the Shu family in the future, and you will get married too."

"I won't," Shu Zilan said firmly.

In fact, they have always been ambiguous about this relationship, and they have never pointed it out to each other, but the tacit understanding between them makes them aware of the deep affection between the brows and eyes. Sometimes he feels that this relationship is like a game that will end at any time, but after so many years Zhao Chong looked at Shu Zilan lying on the bed with a dejected face, and for the first time clearly realized that Shu Zilan was serious about this relationship and invested a lot, which was a big gap with his cognition .

"I've never seen her, and I won't love her in the future. I just want her to give birth to a child for me and bring up the child. I won't let her disturb our life. We will still be the same as before." Zhao Chong seriously argued.

Shu Zilan seemed to be meeting Zhao Chong for the first time, and she didn't expect him to be so selfish, thus deciding the rest of a young woman's life.

"Can't go back?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Chongdao.

"Why can't we go back? I'm still me, you're still you, we haven't changed," Zhao Chong said unwillingly.

"You're married," Shu Zilan said.

"Didn't I say she won't affect us?" Zhao Chong said impatiently.

"In that case, why did you hide your marriage from me? What are you worried about?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Chongdao.

"I" Zhao Chong was dumbfounded.

After a long time he argued, "I'm afraid you will be sad"

"You're afraid that I'll be sad. I understand. You're more worried that I'll make trouble, aren't you? Deep down in your heart, you think I'm an invisible man, don't you?" Shu Zilan snapped.

"I didn't," Zhao Chong said.

"You have, Zhao Chong, ask yourself, have you ever thought about this? Do you have such worries? We grew up together, 20 years, can I not understand you?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Chong and said sadly , It is precisely because of understanding each other's movements and eyes that it hurts him so much.

Zhao Chong wanted to defend himself, Shu Zilan waved his hand

"Let's talk about it today." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Chongdao,

"Shu Ting is your man, right?" Shu Zilan said.

Zhao Chong looked at Shu Zilan in disbelief, with a trace of embarrassment on his face, he nodded for a long time while looking at Shu Zilan's expression that he had already understood.

"You don't trust me" Shu Zilan said.

"I'm just worried about you," Zhao Chong said hastily.

"But you will ask Shu Ting to tell you my whereabouts," Shu Zilan said.

Zhao Chong nodded slightly.

"After I came back from Rongyang, you completely stopped trusting me. You allowed Sun Yi'an to put eyeliner on me and monitor my relationship with Zhao Jing," Shu Zilan said.

"Zhao Jing has ulterior motives," Zhao Chong said dissatisfiedly.

"We are friends of gentlemen," Shu Zilan couldn't help but said loudly.

Zhao Chong stopped talking, Shu Zilan was disheartened for a moment when Zhao Chong was silent, and suddenly he didn't want to say anything, what's the use of him talking so much, he can make Zhao Chongfan wake up, trust him, believe that he can still Redeem what?Everything is a foregone conclusion.

"Did you know me these years?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Chongdao. "Forget it, let's go, just pretend that I never knew you." Shu Zilan said dejectedly, all these years of youth were wasted like this.

"Rong Qing" Zhao Chong looked at Shu Zilan with a disheartened expression and was worried.Zhao Chong was in a dilemma, the attendant outside the door walked in quietly, and whispered, "Master, the time is up, we should go"

"Go out, something that doesn't have eyes," Zhao Chong said angrily.

The attendant hurriedly withdrew, Zhao Chong looked at Shu Zilan, knowing in his heart that Shu Zilan was really sad this time, he didn't know how to make Shu Zilan change his mind, his previous all kinds of unscrupulous temptations to Shu Zilan were just based on On the basis of Shu Zilan's indulgence to him, now he doesn't know what will happen to Shu Zilan.

"I'm leaving." Zhao Chong looked at Shu Zilan and said helplessly.

Shu Zilan turned away from looking at Zhao Chong, Zhao Chong turned and walked out, leaving in a hurry.

Zhao Jing walked in, looked at Shu Zilan's heartbroken face,

"What have I been doing all these years?" Shu Zilan asked in confusion. He looked at Zhao Jing and asked sullenly, "Am I a failure?"

"No, everyone has a time when they are young and frivolous," Zhao Jing said.

"Tomorrow is your mother's death day, let me accompany you to Woyun Temple," Shu Zilan said.

"You still remember?" Zhao Jing said.

Shu Zilan smiled and said nothing.

"Okay" Zhao Jing said happily.

The next morning, the two drove a carriage to Woyun Temple.

Woyun Temple is located on a high mountain. Due to its high geographical location, the mountains are lush with green pines, cypresses, and clouds and mists all the year round. The temple is hidden in the clouds and mists, so it is named Woyun Temple.

The two stopped at the foot of the mountain, sent the coachman back, and walked along the winding and narrow path in the mountain. Shu Zilan climbed halfway, sat on the grass and panted slightly, Zhao Jing handed a water bag to Shu Zilan, and Shu Zilan took it. In the past, when he took a sip of water, thin sweat stains flowed from his face. Shu Zilan took out a close-fitting handkerchief to wipe off the sweat stains. He turned around and saw that Zhao Jing was refreshed and could not see the slightest tiredness. Zhao Jing, because he often neglects to exercise, his physique is so weak.

"Let's go." Shu Zilan stood up after taking a break.

"Okay" Zhao Jing said.

The two continued to walk along the mountain road. They didn't reach the mountain until noon. A simple and simple temple came into view. Surrounding the temple, thick pines and cypresses stood toweringly. The clear bells came from the temple and echoed in the mountain stream. , The birds were chirping in the trees.

Shu Zilan was in it and suddenly felt that the troubles in the world disappeared, and her restless heart slowly calmed down in this thick and simple temple. Come forward, see Zhao Jing, and say "Benefactor Zhao" familiarly

"Is the abbot here?" Zhao Jing asked.

"Master is chanting scriptures in the meditation room," said the little monk.

The two walked into the monastery, the courtyard was silent, and the fragrance of Buddha lingered at the tip of their noses

"Benefactor Zhao, you are here," said an old voice

Zhao Jing turned around and said, "Abbot, please stay safe."

The abbot said, "The benefactor is here to pay homage to the deceased mother."

"Yes" Zhao Jing said.

"Please benefactor, come with me," the abbot said.

The two followed the abbot and came to a room. The abbot turned and left. Shu Zilan followed Zhao Jing and pushed the door in. There was a tablet in the center, with various fruits and vegetables enshrined in front of the tablet.

Zhao Jing knelt down, he took out a scroll of scriptures from his cuff, and slowly burned it. He burned the paper money he had prepared with the fire. Shu Zilan stood aside, watching Zhao Jing's sad face, and couldn't help but feel sad.

When the two came out of the room, Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Jing in surprise, and asked, "At that time, you were only six years old. Can you remember your mother?"

Zhao Jing shook his head. It has been more than ten years now, and his mother's appearance is blurred, but he still remembers the feeling that his mother loves him, loves him and protects him. As he gets older, this feeling becomes more and more clear. I miss my mother.

"Do you remember that time?" Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and asked.

"I don't remember." Shu Zilan said apologetically, at that time he was too young, helping Zhao Jing was just casual, without any thought, it's just that time has passed, this person he never paid attention to when he was a child, now helping him like this.

"It's okay," Zhao Jing said with a smile.

"I will treat you well," Shu Zilan said while looking at Zhao Jing.

"What do you think of me?" Zhao Jing joked.

"You think too much." Shu Zilan said disapprovingly.

"What's wrong with me, I'm a talented person in the capital," Zhao Jing said dissatisfied.

Shu Zilan sneered, and Zhao Jing looked at Shu Zilan and laughed, "Just be happy," Zhao Jing said.

With a smile on the corner of Shu Zilan's mouth, the gloom in her heart slowly dissipated.

"Let's eat vegetarian food, the vegetarian food here is delicious," Zhao Jing said.

Shu Zilan followed Zhao Jing to eat vegetarian food. The little novice had already prepared in a room. The two of them walked in. The little novice left immediately and closed the door carefully.

Zhao Jing put a piece of crystal clear tofu in Shu Zilan's bowl, and said, "Try it"

Shu Zilan put it in her mouth, it was soft, tender and smooth, and her mouth was fragrant. Shu Zilan was in a bad mood and didn't want to eat, so she came to eat vegetarian food just to accompany Zhao Jing. Unexpectedly, the vegetarian food here is simple in appearance, but delicious .

Seeing that Shu Zilan's appetite had increased, Zhao Jing relaxed slightly.

After the vegetarian meal, the two of them took a walk in the temple. The towering pines and cypresses left a large area of ​​shade, which was cool and pleasant. Little birds jumped up and down the trees, chirping, and the elegant fragrance of Buddha came from the tip of their noses. Everything seems to be isolated from the world, and three thousand troubles are left behind.

The two stayed in the monastery for three days before leaving reluctantly. Shu Zilan didn't want to leave, he wanted to stay here,

Zhao Jing joked, "You might as well become a monk, the abbot says you have roots of wisdom"

Shu Zilan just smiled and said nothing.

The two went down the mountain, hired a carriage and hurried back to the capital, Zhao Jing left for a few days, there were many affairs in the mansion, so he hurried back to Prince Jing's mansion, Shu Zilan returned to Huanhua Courtyard.

He went in, but saw Zhao Chong sitting in the yard with an angry expression on his face.

"Where did you go?" Zhao Chong asked dissatisfied.

Shu Zilan walked in as if she hadn't seen Zhao Chong.

Seeing Shu Zilan's indifferent face, Zhao Chong managed to suppress the anger in his heart, and said calmly, "Where did you go, Rong Qing? I'm very worried about you. Do you know that I've been looking for you like crazy these days? I'm about to use The Forbidden Army in Beijing is looking for you"

"What do you want from me?" Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Chong and said mockingly.

"I'm worried about you," Zhao Chong said.

"You see, I'm fine," Shu Zilan said.

"Okay, don't be angry, how about we make up?" Zhao Chong said.

"How to reconcile? Pretend that nothing happened? Or are you not married?" Shu Zilan said, his good mood suddenly became heavy and gloomy.

"No, I'm just getting married, I don't love her and I don't like her," Zhao Chong said helplessly.

"Forget it, there's nothing to talk about between us, let's go" Shu Zilan said coldly, Zhao Chong's understanding was completely different from her own, so there was nothing to say, nothing to justify.

"What do you want?" Zhao Chong looked at Shu Zilan irritably.

"Zhao Chong, let's end it." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Chong and said calmly.

"I don't agree," Zhao Chong said loudly, "Rong Qing, let's make up, I know I was wrong, please forgive me, okay?" Zhao Chong begged.

Shu Zilan couldn't bear it, when did the arrogant Zhao Chong beg for help in such a low voice, but he couldn't turn back, they were not suitable, and if he continued, he would only hurt others and himself.

"You are King Yu, King Yu who is more than one person and under ten thousand people. There are all kinds of women in your yard, such as side concubines, bed maids, singers and dancers. You have no shortage of people who like you." Shu Zilan looked at Zhao Chong said slowly, "Go back."

Zhao Chong looked at Shu Zilan's resolute face, knowing that there would be no results if he continued to talk, so he left in dismay.
