landslide

The dim yellow candlelight reflected the chill of the dungeon, and there was dried blood on the brick floor. Huai Jun sat on the iron bed with a calm expression, tapping his fingers on his legs again and again, staring at the rusty door .

He gave the two guards one night to bring Yong Ting and Min Luo back, but he didn't expect that they couldn't even do this little thing well.But he knew that they would definitely bring them here in order to save their lives, so he just gave them half a day more chance, and if the time came, don't blame him for being ruthless.

But the fate of the two guards was good. When Huai Jun got impatient, the door of the cell was opened, and the harsh sunlight reflected on Huai Jun's face.

He gave the two guards a wink to retreat, then turned his gaze to Yong Ting, and said leisurely: "I ran away all night, I wonder if the second brother slept well last night?"

"Wu Huaijun, stop talking nonsense! If you want to kill, kill it!" Yong Ting puffed out his weak chest, stubbornly protecting Min Luo behind him, and looked provocatively at the person who was still in a leisurely state in front of him.

"Brother Erhuang, don't be so nervous. If you are alive, it proves that I will not kill you." He smiled and said, "In fact, I promised Pu'er that I will let you go."

Hearing Chen Pu's name, Min Luo shook Yong Ting nervously, and Yong Ting at least comforted him in a low voice: "Don't worry, he will be fine."

"Of course he will be fine." Huai Jun continued.

Yong Ting said sarcastically, "Chen Pu definitely doesn't know what you've done. You're pretending now, because you're worried that he will find out about your evil deeds again?"

"Brother Huang's words are too serious. I never pretend to be affectionate towards Pu'er." Huai Jun frowned, and forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, "I didn't mean any harm to you, why don't you think about it?" , who drove me to this field?"

"That's right! I was the one who brought the poisoned wine to Empress Yun, and I was the one who killed her! Then why did you hurt Minluo!"

"The queen mother is my dearest person." Huai Jun lowered his eyes and said with a wry smile, "And Ming Luo is the person that Second Emperor Brother cherishes the most."

So——Yong Ting took a step back and held Min Luo's hand. Although Min Luo was behind him, it seemed that Min Luo's grief was right in front of his eyes—so he could indeed hate him.

Min Luo's face turned pale, his body became weak for a while, and the pain in his fingers kept hitting him again, even the warmth of Yong Ting's clasp on his wrist could not alleviate this pain and the growing fear in his heart .If Huai Jun tortured him by chopping off his fingers again, would he still be able to bear it?

He can't, but Yong Ting won't let him suffer like this again.

"You have the imperial father's decree, we can't stop you, but I killed the empress, if you really want to take revenge, you can torture me and kill me!"

"I'm not here to torture anyone today. I also promised that Pu'er would not hurt you. I only have a few words to say to Min Luo."

"What are you talking about?" Yong Ting stared at Huai Jun in disbelief, and then protected Min Luo even tighter.

"Minluo, you go outside with me first, I will only tell you some things."

Huai Jun's words made Min Luo take a step back in panic, he was afraid of Huai Jun, he couldn't be alone with Huai Jun, he was afraid that Huai Jun would take the opportunity to separate him from Yong Ting and attack him.But Min Luo looked at Yong Ting's strong back, and for some reason, her cowardly heart became more courageous.

——In the past, it was the second brother who protected me, so now is it my turn to protect him?

"Speak here if you have something to say!" Yong Ting roared.

"Min Luo, if you want things to turn around, follow me out." He passed Yong Ting and approached Min Luo step by step, "I will not lose my promise to Pu'er, so I will not hurt you." , he stretched out his hand to Min Luo, asking Min Luo to go out with him.

With a "snap", Yong Ting knocked down Huai Jun's hand: "Don't touch him!"

At the same time, Min Luo's weak voice sounded: "I understand, I'll go out with Brother Sanhuang and talk." His body trembled slightly, but no matter how scared he was, he still had a few words to say to Huai Jun.

"Min Luo." Yong Ting turned his head in surprise, and firmly held Min Luo's wrist, not letting him go out, "No!"

"Brother Huang, I'll go back as soon as I go." He smiled slightly at Yong Ting, he made up his mind, what can stop him?No matter how hard Ren Yongting clasped his hand, he couldn't stop his determination. He seemed to have exhausted his entire life to break away from Yong Ting's hand, and then, under Yong Ting's unbelievable gaze, followed Huai Jun's. Footsteps, and he went out of the dungeon.

At this time, the sun was hanging in the center, and the fierce sunlight was shining directly down. Min Luo's frail body felt weak again when it touched the heat, and his knees suddenly bent forward. Fortunately, Huai Jun was quick to support him.

Only then did he stabilize his steps, and immediately moved away from Huai Jun.

"Ming Luo." Huai Jun didn't mind Min Luo's deliberate alienation of him, he just said: "You know that Father Emperor can't tolerate this matter."

"I know." Min Luo nodded sadly, and remembered what Ri Zhilan accused them of that day——

shameless thing.

"I admit that I have selfish intentions for hurting you, but even if I didn't, neither of you will have a happy ending." Huai Jun paused, and when he said this, he thought of that thin figure blowing under the magnolia tree, inexplicably There was a sense of sadness in the ground, "If you are not brothers, maybe you can close your eyes and pretend not to see you, but you are biological brothers! Ming Luo, I promised that Pu'er would not hurt you again, but the imperial father's decree has already passed. Next, you must separate, but..."

Before he finished speaking, Min Luo took the words with a wry smile, "However, Brother Second Emperor is stubborn, and he will never give up on things he has decided on. Even if Brother Three Emperor separates us abruptly, he still will not give up. He can't give up even if I go to the ends of the earth, but father, he can't allow his beloved son to become like this."

"It's good that you understand." Huai Jun was calm on the surface, but was surprised that Min Luo saw things so clearly.

"There is only one way to completely separate me from Brother Huang, so..." Min Luo knelt on the ground bluntly, looking at Huai Jun sincerely: "I will end everything with Brother Huang, but before that Min Luo only has a request."

The movement of his kneeling made Huai Jun think again of that day in Yongning Temple, when Chen Pu knelt down regardless of dignity to see Concubine Jun's corpse.However, Ming Luo's kneeling made him feel softer than Yong Ting's pleading kneeling when he saw him suffering that day. Maybe it was Min Luo's tired eyes, maybe he knew that Min Luo shouldn't be involved in it, maybe it was because the person he hated never Not Mino.

"You say it."

"I hope that Ming Luo's death can make the third brother feel relieved, let the second brother go, and let him go away safely."

Suddenly, a butterfly caught Huai Jun's eyes, landed on Min Luo's thin shoulders, and flapped its wings vigorously.Huai Jun couldn't help remembering that Chen Pu said that Butterfly was the soul of Concubine Jun who flew back to find him.He knew it wasn't, but he was still shocked.

It's just that Min Luo, who is not involved in the present, has no sin and suffers a lot, is willing to ask him for a request for the one he loves, which moves him.

He nodded and agreed: "As long as he doesn't make things difficult for me in the future, I won't do anything to him again."

"Thank you, Brother San Huang." Min Luo replied in a low voice, but when she tried to stand up, she realized that she was powerless and couldn't lift her feet.

Seeing this, Huai Jun immediately stepped forward to support Min Luo.For a moment, a strange feeling flashed across Huai Jun's heart, as if it was the first time he had the feeling of being an elder brother.But the feeling was fleeting, and he quickly suppressed it.

He let go of Min Luo's hand, turned around and walked towards the dungeon, and then opened the cell door for Min Luo, "I'll give you a few days, and I'll order someone to bring some medicine and meals in these few days."

Min Luo glanced at him again, then bent over and walked into the dungeon.

Yong Ting hurried forward, but Min Luo turned a blind eye to it, and walked forward on his own, before bending over to pick up something on the ground.

When he picked it up, Yong Ting realized that he was picking up the silver knife, but when he realized it, the knife was already on Min Luo's neck, and Min Luo's eyes were hollow and lifeless.

Yong Ting hurriedly slapped down Min Luo's knife, but Min Luo went mad again to get the knife back, so he had no choice but to slap him on the back of the neck.

The next moment, Min Luo fell into endless darkness and fainted to the ground.

Yong Ting hugged his limp body in his arms, and shouted: "Wu Huaijun! What did you say to Ming Luo!"

Huai Jun, who was gone away, could no longer hear his roar, he ordered the guards to prepare food and medicine for them, and then rushed back to Zhaohe Hall, fearing that Chen Pu would have to wait for a long time.

At this time Chen Pu had already had his lunch and was waiting for Huai Jun to come back in the front hall.He watched the sun move westward step by step, but Huai Jun hadn't come back for a long time, which made him more and more uneasy.

He unconsciously took out the mahogany box that Mo Huichuan sent early in the morning, caressed the exquisite tiger pattern on it, finally opened it, looked at the key inside and was fascinated——Huaijun, where are you?I believe in you, don't let me down, don't,

Thinking of this, he hastily closed the wooden box again, since he chose to believe him, he shouldn't question him.

"looking at what?"

Huai Jun's voice suddenly sounded behind him, so frightened that Chen Pu hurriedly turned around and put the wooden box behind him.But this movement was still not as fast as Huai Jun's eyes.

Only Shangyang Hall can carve tiger patterns, so this wooden box must have been sent from Shangyang Hall.What are you sending them for?

"No, I didn't look at anything." Chen Pu replied quickly, fearing that a second later would arouse Huai Jun's suspicion.

Huai Jun nodded, without forcing Chen Pu, and asked softly, "Have you had lunch yet?"

"Just ate, how about you?"

"Have you eaten?" Huai Jun exaggeratedly shouted, lowered his mouth, and said pitifully, "I thought Pu'er would wait for me to come back before eating."

After hearing this, Chen Pu couldn't help laughing out loud, and the atmosphere relaxed.He put the wooden box in his wide sleeves, stood up and said: "The little man will go to have dinner with the prince."

The palace maids neatly placed the chopsticks and spoons on the table, and brought two side dishes, a cup of ginseng chicken soup and a bowl of crystal white rice.Chen Pu's favorite food is ginseng chicken soup, and he could not help being fascinated when he smelled the wafting aroma.

"Pu'er, is that palace maid nice?" Huai Jun teased Chen Pu.

Chen Pu's cheeks turned red immediately, "I didn't look at it."

"Then what are you looking at?" He beckoned, let Chen Pu sit next to him, and said with a smile, "Today is Pu'er's favorite ginseng chicken soup."

Chen Pu stared closely at the chicken soup in front of him, swallowed, and nodded.Seeing this, Huai Jun immediately brought the chicken soup in front of him, "But I want to drink it too, what should I do?"

Chen Pu turned his head away, snorted, and said unconvinced: "Then you drink it!"

Huai Jun laughed, picked out the ginseng inside, and then pushed it in front of Chen Pu, "Silly Pu'er, come and drink."

Looking at the ginseng on the table, Chen Pu was so moved that he couldn't speak.He likes to drink ginseng chicken soup but not ginseng, Huai Jun picks it out for him every time.Huai Jun doted on him and loved him so much, how could he not keep his word?So when he said he would let people go, he would definitely let them go!

It's over, he shouldn't think about it anymore!

He smiled and pushed the chicken soup back to Huai Jun: "This is for the prince to replenish his body, you should eat it."

"What's tonic or not? Your favorite is this ginseng chicken soup. It tastes better when I eat it than watching you eat it." After finishing speaking, he pushed it back to Chen Pu, and then pressed the cup to prevent him from pushing it any more. Come over: "If you don't eat, I won't eat either."

He always kept what he said, so Chen Pu "reluctantly" picked up the spoon and ate it.With just one sip, his smile became even brighter.Seeing that he was eating with gusto, Huai Jun also picked up his chopsticks and ate happily. No dish was better than Chen Pu's smile on the rice.

Chen Pu took a few mouthfuls, and suddenly remembered what A Fu had just said, "By the way, the Fifth Prince sent someone to send a message that he will be back in two days."

"Well, Zhilan is married, so he should be back." Huai Jun nodded, and changed the subject again: "I want to write later, Pu'er, grind ink for me."

After lunch, the palace maids came in to put away the bowls and chopsticks.After all the maidservants retreated, Huai Jun led Chen Pu to the library.

Chen Pu rolled up his sleeves, poured bottomless water into the inkstone, picked up the ink stick and rubbed it carefully, the black ink began to ooze out.

There was a blank sheet of paper on the desk, Huai Jun held the brush but didn't do it for a long time.After a long time, he asked Chen Pu, "What word do you want me to write?"

"The third prince can write whatever characters he likes." Chen Pu replied, continuing to concentrate on polishing the ink.

"What word do you like?" After asking, Chen Pu just smiled and said nothing.Huai Jun thought about it, and finally put ink on it, and drew a few words on the paper.

——The mountain has no mausoleum, so you dare to break with the king.

The vigorous strokes bring out the firmness of the tender characters. The characters in the palace are especially outstanding, followed by Nuo Xu, and then Huai Jun. will write.Writing these few words today, he wanted to let Chen Pu know his sincerity.

He said, "This is for you, Pu'er."

"What?" Chen Pu moved his eyes from the inkstone, and his face turned red hot after seeing the words on the paper, "What are you doing writing these words for no reason?"

"When you were young, you said you liked this sentence, and kept clamoring for me to write it to you, but now that I have written it, you dislike it?" Huai Jun put down the brush, and pinched Chen Pu's flushed cheek with one hand.

"You said it happened when you were young, how old are you now? Are you still ashamed?" Chen Pu patted Huai Jun's hand away.

"Since Pu'er doesn't like it, then throw it away." Huai Jun gestured to pick up the paper, but Chen Pu snatched it away faster than him.

"Who said I don't like it." Chen Pu quickly put the paper away behind his back, fearing that it would be snatched away by Huai Jun.

The next moment, Huai Jun held him in his arms and said softly, "Pu'er, I love you."

"Okay, I got it." Chen Pu covered his ears, his cheeks were flushed.Afterwards, he laughed cheerfully, hooked Huai Jun's shoulders, and said with a smile, "Say it again."

"It's not expensive to say it again." Huai Jun touched Chen Pu's hot face, "Why don't you tell me."

"Don't say it, I won't say it, I'm so ashamed." After finishing speaking, Chen Pu pushed Huai Jun away and jumped into his embrace, making Huai Jun laugh "haha" happily. ?
