Rouge wrong

"Sister, are we really going to be decent?" Huzi followed Yanzhi with a small package in his arms, and said sadly, "Shopkeeper Shen doesn't want us?"

The two are waiting for Shen Cuo to say goodbye to Liu Rongzhi, and then the three will go down the mountain together.

It's just that Yanzhi and Huzi will be sent to the Qianzheng Escort, while Shen Cuo plans to set off directly back to Yanzhou.

Yanjing is a sad place for her, and I'm afraid she doesn't plan to come back here in the future.

"Shopkeeper Shen didn't want us, but she thought...it would be better for us to reunite with my sister."

Huzi tilted his head and thought for a while, "Does sister think it would be better for us to reunite with eldest sister?"

"And what do you think?"

Huzi pursed his lips and thought for a while, then tilted his head and said, "I don't know... I am very happy now, but maybe living with my eldest sister will also be very happy."

Rouge showed a smile: "Well, you are right."

Huzi opened his eyes wide, looking at his sister's smile, but he didn't know why he felt sour.

"Sister, are you very reluctant to part with shopkeeper Shen?"

Rouge didn't hide it, and said with a bit of desolation: "Shopkeeper Shen is so kind to us, of course I will be reluctant to part with her."

"Will you be sad if you don't see Shopkeeper Shen?"

"It's natural to be sad at the beginning, but as long as..."

Rouge spoke slowly, as if she wanted to convince herself, but when she thought about the future, she couldn't help feeling sore in her mouth and nose.

Will it not be so sad after a while?

This seems to be in line with common sense, but I don't know why, Yan Zhi just knows that she will be sad for a long, long time.

But shopkeeper Shen doesn't need her anymore, and now the eldest princess has promised not to control shopkeeper Shen anymore, and also allows elder sister Baiquan and others to return to shopkeeper Shen, she is no longer useful to shopkeeper Shen.

"Sister..." Seeing Yanzhi's expression, Huzi held her hand worriedly, "Sister, I don't want you to be unhappy, let's go beg shopkeeper Shen and say we want to follow her. When I grow up , learn martial arts well, I will repay her kindness."

Rouge looked at her younger brother's earnest face, feeling relieved and moved.

Huzi has been very sensible since he was a child. After the two followed Shen Cuo, she had to work in the shop and take care of Shen Cuo, so she inevitably cared less about Huzi.

But Huzi not only never complained, but also always tried his best to help her.

"Huzi, thank you. It's just..."

It's not that Yanzhi never thought about what Huzi said, but for some reason, she felt scared when things came to an end.

So at that time, she was stunned for a long time and finally failed to say it on the spot, saying that she wanted to stay with Shen Cuo more than follow her sister.

"It's just that we can't cause shopkeeper Shen any more trouble."

The Xinggong ice cellar is set up in a very deep cave. This is a huge ice cellar built after artificial excavation of the natural cave in Yanshan Mountain.

The ice of Yanshan in winter will be hidden here, and it will become one of the sources of royal tribute ice in summer.

It can be said that apart from the ice cellar of the imperial palace, Yanjing has the most ice here.

As soon as Shen Cuo entered the cave, he felt the coolness on his face. In order to ensure the effectiveness of the ice cellar, the cave was very complicated, and the first time he entered, he had to be led by a special person.

A torch was inserted on the wall of the passage at short intervals. Shen Cuo followed the guide through the twisting and turning passage extending in all directions, and the further he went in, the colder he felt.

"Princess, Her Royal Highness is inside."

The guide stopped until an ice room, where two guards in thick winter coats stood guard.

Probably because it was too cold inside, Jing Cheng and the maid stayed outside the cave.

Shen Cuo had deep internal strength, he refused his coat when he came in, and at this moment he felt a bit of bone-chilling cold.

"Mother……"

Shen Cuo had called Liu Rongzhi's mother a bit of drama before, but this time, her tone was completely calm and natural.

Mother is just her name for Liu Rongzhi, it doesn't have any special meaning, let alone deep feelings.

It's just that my aunt wanted her to call Liu Rongzhi that way, so she kept calling it that way.

"come in……"

After a while, Liu Rongzhi's voice came from inside.

Shen Cuo took a breath, and stepped into the ice room with six walls and only one narrow door.

Because there are a large number of giant ice cubes piled up, the temperature in the ice room is much lower than that in the tunnel.

There were neither torches nor lights inside, only the faint fluorescence emitted by Ye Mingzhu illuminated the figure of Liu Rongzhi sitting in a wheelchair.

And in front of Liu Rongzhi was a crystal clear ice coffin carved from a whole block of ice.

Inside was a dead body that was still unrecognizable, but still neatly dressed.

Shen Cuo has excellent eyesight, even with only this light, he can see the scene clearly.

And Liu Rongzhi was already half-blind, so the intensity of the light didn't make much difference to her.

"Are you here to say goodbye to Yun Po?"

With Liu Rongzhi's back facing Shen Cuo, his weak voice sounded even more ethereal after echoing in the room.

Shen Cuo looked away from the ice coffin: "I'm here to say goodbye to you."

After hearing the news of Shen Yunpo's death, Liu Rongzhi seemed to have completely collapsed.

Shen Cuo knew that although she was still alive, she was no different from a walking dead.

Perhaps, mother really loves aunt.It's just that her love is both selfish and vicious, and also somewhat pitiful and pathetic.

At this time, Shen Cuo felt that if his mother had only been interested in her aunt at the beginning, these things would not have happened later.

Liu Rongzhi sighed softly: "You have grown up..."

"I've grown up a long time ago."

Liu Rongzhi was wearing a thick leather jacket, and his legs were also covered with thick blankets.

However, her face was pale, and the air she exhaled seemed to have no warmth.

"Yeah, you've grown up a long time ago. I didn't know that Yun Po taught you so well."

"You won't get any favors from complimenting me."

"This is not a compliment..." Liu Rongzhi seemed to want to explain, but fell silent after speaking half a sentence.

After a while, he laughed at himself and said, "Yeah, whether it's compliments or compliments, everything is meaningless. You go, go wherever you want from now on, and be with whoever you want to be with. Those shackles I gave you And bondage, no longer exist from today."

"I don't have many places I want to go, and I don't have anyone I want to be with. I will fulfill my aunt's last wish and protect those former Tianming sect members.

Until they completely take off this symbol on their bodies, and become the people of Great Yan who will no longer be guarded against by you. "

Liu Rongzhi, who had been sitting quietly, finally moved at this moment. She stretched out her hands and twisted the wheels on both sides stiffly, as if she wanted to turn the wheelchair around.

Shen Cuo looked at it for a while, and finally stepped forward to hold the handle.

"What do you want to do?"

"I'd like to see you."

Shen Cuo squatted in front of her, and Liu Rongzhi reached out to touch her face. Shen Cuo only felt that those slender fingertips were colder than the ice in the ice cellar.

While touching Shen Cuo's face, Liu Rongzhi said slowly: "I used to think that Yun Po deliberately taught you to be ignorant of world affairs, because he was afraid that you would be as thoughtful as I am.

When I saw you later, I felt that although you are simple, your temperament is still very similar to mine.

Willful, domineering, doesn't like to listen to things that he doesn't like, and can compromise when necessary... Also, he likes Yunpo the most. "

"I'm not like you."

"I know..." Liu Rongzhi touched Shen Cuo's cheek delicately, as if feeling another person through her, "You are different from me. I'm glad you grew up with Yun Po, because I I will never be able to teach you like her. If you follow me, you will become as selfish as me."

Shen Cuo frowned slightly: "You said how noble I am, I don't care about the world like my aunt, and I am compassionate."

Liu Rongzhi sighed softly: "How many people in the world can be like her? Give up the power at your fingertips and forgive the unforgivable crime.

Although she always said that her ambition is not in the world, I have never seen anyone who cares more about the suffering of the people of Li people than her. "

Shen Cuo thought of his aunt because of these words, and finally showed a flaw in his calm expression.

"I once asked Yun Po, the world is in chaos today, there are countless refugees and orphans, can you save everyone? Guess what she said?"

Shen Cuo held back his sobs and said affirmatively: "My aunt doesn't think so much, she just can't ignore the people who are in trouble in front of her."

Liu Rongzhi nodded: "Yes, she is such a person. She said that she has no intention of dominating the world, saving everyone is something the emperor should consider. She can only save the people in front of her eyes, and only the people in front of her. People who can save themselves."

"At that time, I looked down on her, and I also looked down on such thoughts. Why do you have such high martial arts, and you are the saint of Tianming sect, but you don't have any ambitions?

If it were me, I would dominate the world.If it wasn't for this woman's body, even the emperor's position would be in my pocket. "

"I was young and energetic back then, and your aunt looked stupid, so I boldly used these words to test her. Guess what she said?"

Shen Cuo felt that Liu Rongzhi's question was very boring, but he still answered: "Everyone has his own ambition, since you have such lofty ambitions, why do you still care about the identity of a woman?"

Liu Rongzhi shook his hands, and a low laugh came out of his throat, but Shen Cuo felt drops of cold tears falling on his cheeks.

"Wu Wang, you really look like Yun Po, that's how she asked me back." Liu Rongzhi cried silently, "She didn't laugh at my whims, and she didn't think that my ambition as a woman was too outrageous.

She raised her hand to bow to me, and said in a reverent and admiring voice, "It's a blessing in the world that the princess has such a mind." "

"It's a blessing in the world, but it's her misfortune." Liu Rongzhi finally let go of Shen Cuo's face, "I later realized that the ideas I laughed at were the most difficult to do. But Yun Po still persisted for so many years My heart never changes.”

"I know that I should not be greedy, that there are gains and losses, and there is always a price to be paid in order to achieve the goal.

I've always known it well, and I thought I could afford the price.But, only Yun Po..."

Liu Rongzhi closed his eyes, unable to continue for a while.Only when Shen Cuo got close did he realize that the roots of Liu Rongzhi's hair had turned white.

"Yun Po is so kind. The more I see this troubled world, the more I understand that there is only her pure land in this world."

Although Shen Cuo hates Liu Rongzhi.But at this moment, she understands him very well.

Her aunt is the best aunt in the world, the best leader in the world, and the best person in the world.

Perhaps, this is the only place where she can resonate with Liu Rongzhi.
