landslide

?—Where is this place?

Chen Pu woke up from his sleep, his head was still confused, so he could only look at the front blankly.

Suddenly the pain came in like a needle piercing through the chaos, he drank alcohol last night and was very drunk, he seemed to have seen Nuo Xu and Mo Huichuan, but how did he come back?

He recognized that this was Huai Jun's bedroom, but he still didn't know how he got back.

——Did Huai Jun send me back?

Suddenly, his eyes widened, and the sunlight hit him through the window lattice. From the window lattice, he saw magnolia trees drop blossoming magnolia flowers.He staggered out of bed, walked to the window and looked at the falling magnolia flowers outside, a few strands of rain powder fell into the window lattice and hit his face.

He raised his hand to wipe off the rain powder on his face. He didn't remember what happened last night, but he didn't have the heart to think about it anymore. He just stared blankly at the magnolia flower falling into the wet soil, staining his whole body. muddy.

It's raining, not too much, but the magnolia flowers are so fragile that they fall.

Chen Pu sat by the window and closed his eyes wearily.

This year's magnolia blossoms were late, he had mentioned it to Huaijun before the crowning ceremony, but Huaijun was too busy to take care of these trees because of the crowning ceremony, and when they saw the magnolias blooming, they decided to Forget about it.

Chen Pu knew in his heart that the flowering period was coming to an end, and with this rain, it was time for the magnolia to return to the dust.

A few things from the past few months suddenly mingled in my mind, and scenes of falling magnolia flowers appeared one after another.Chen Pu opened his eyes, and looked out of the window again. This year is an eventful year, and the late blooming magnolia may have been foreseen.

Suddenly, someone pushed the door and entered, and that person was standing behind Chen Pu holding a cup of hangover tea.

"Chen Pu, this is the hangover tea that King Yu ordered me to bring. He said that you will have a headache when you wake up, so you must drink it." A simple and honest voice sounded in the silence, bringing the dazed Chen Pu back to reality .

Chen Pu turned his head and saw that it was Ah Fu.

This Ah Fu is slightly fatter, dressed in the attire of an eunuch, and looks honest and honest. He is a few years older than Chen Pu and Huai Jun. He has stayed in the Hall of Zhaohe since he was a child. The official announced that he has returned to his hometown, so he will take over.

"My head doesn't hurt." Chen Pu looked at Ah Fu holding the bowl of dark things, and his two beautiful eyebrows frowned, moving closer to the center of his brows.

He said it didn't hurt, but his head was full of needle-pricking pain. Every time he woke up from alcohol, he would be entangled in this kind of pain. Huai Jun, who was familiar with him, naturally knew this, so he would bring him a piece every time. Bowl of hangover tea.But Huai Jun also knew that Chen Pu hated drinking hangover tea, he would rather not drink that bowl of pitch-black stuff for a whole day in pain, every time Huai Jun half-coaxed and half-coaxed him to finish it.

Seeing that the person he likes is worried about him, no matter how bad the bowl of tea is, he will still drink it willingly.Huai Jun was worried about his headache, but he couldn't bear Huai Jun's worry.

But now, no matter how painful his head is, who should he tell?

"But King Yu asked me to watch you drink it."

"You poured it, and then said I drank it." Chen Pu turned his face away, looking at the magnolia flowers flying in the drizzle, feeling depressed.

However, Ah Fu had no intention of retreating, and still stood behind Chen Pu, looking at his pale side face and lifeless eyes, and said again: "It will be better to drink tea to understand wine, and don't make it difficult for me."

On the one hand, he said this to explain to Huaijun, and on the other hand, he was worried about Chen Pu. He knew that Chen Pu was lying. Even if this tired look was not a headache, it must be caused by the discomfort of being drunk.

And Chen Pu had always had a good relationship with them, so he definitely wouldn't want Huai Jun to embarrass him.

As a result, upon hearing Ah Fu's words, Chen Pu hesitated for a while, but still took the hangover tea from him and drank it all in one go.

He knew that Huai Jun would not make things difficult for him, but he was afraid that Huai Jun would transfer his anger on innocent people.

He handed the bowl back to Ah Fu, then pressed his hands on his forehead and rubbed it gently.Although the hangover tea was unpalatable, it still had the effect it should have, and his headache was relieved a lot.

However, besides relieving headaches, what else can this hangover tea do?After drinking, the depression in his heart will not go away, and it is even more uncomfortable to wake up in the status quo.

Ah Fu looked at Chen Pu's frown, and thought of Huai Jun, who also had a bad face today, and hesitated. Even though his father-in-law taught him not to meddle in his own business since he was a child, if he didn't say these few words, he would be fine. Can't let go.

"You drank so much last night, did something happen?" he asked with concern.

Chen Pu pursed his lips tightly and did not answer. How should he say such a thing?

Seeing that Chen Pu didn't want to speak up, Ah Fu didn't feel embarrassed, so he said to himself, "King Yu doesn't seem very happy about seeing you drunk. Chen Pu, I know that King Yu and you are closer than brothers. He You are the one who loves you the most. But he is always the prince, the prince, and he is different from us. When you were young, you could rely on King Yu's love and indulgence, but you can't continue to indulge yourself."

Seeing Ah Fu's caring and earnest expression, Chen Pu's heart skipped a beat, and he grabbed it tightly.

So he has been too presumptuous?

He is indeed too presumptuous, Ah Fu is right, he is different from Huai Jun, why should he interfere with Huai Jun's choice?Huai Jun is the third prince, why is Chen Pu unhappy?Why blame him?Huai Jun didn't need to apologize to him or coax him at all.

But Huai Jun said he loves him...

Even so, can he ignore Huai Jun's identity and be so presumptuous?

"I see," he said softly.

Now anyone who comes over and says anything can easily push Chen Pu into the alley, and let him watch his relationship with Huai Jun fall into an irreparable situation.

Ah Fu understood something in his heart, but he didn't explain it. He just continued to say out of concern for Chen Pu: "I know that you and King Yu have had some quarrels these days, but he is still very good to you. You are drunk. Just let you sleep here, take care of you personally, and I have no sleep all night. It is a blessing to have a powerful person in the palace who treats you well, and you should also think about it. He is always the prince, no matter what endured."

"En." Chen Puxu responded.

"Maybe I'm busy, and you think these words are not pleasant, but my father-in-law taught me to endure everything in the palace..." Afu paused, and then said: "If you are unhappy, you can tell us, just Don't be too presumptuous in front of King Yu."

Chen Pu didn't blame Ah Fu, and forced a smile: "You are not troublesome, if I understand, thank you, Ah Fu."

After hearing this, Ah Fu felt relieved, "Then you rest for a while, I'll take out the bowl first."

After Ah Fu exited the dormitory, Chen Pu walked back to his dormitory exhaustedly with his weak legs.At that moment, he was lying on the bed, thinking about Ah Fu's words sadly.

Huai Jun treated him so well, why wasn't he satisfied?So what if Huai Jun wants to marry a wife?As long as Huaijun treats him well, he should be content, and Huaijun who should serve is even better!His persistence is not against Huai Jun, but against his own comfortable life.

If he continues to be presumptuous, Huai Jun will lose patience with him.Huai Jun is closer to him than brothers, but Huai Jun is a person who can kill even his younger brother. When Huai Jun marries a wife in the future, he will become a worthless person with no value. If he contradicts Huai Jun again , will it be treated the same way?

He should be measured, and if he doesn't want to die, he should be measured.

Chen Pu irritably covered his head with the quilt, covering his nose and mouth, blocking the flow of air, and then tightly squeezed the thoughts in his head together.

But he loves Huaijun, he and Huaijun shouldn't be trying to please in every possible way, just doing flattery.His temperament was taught by Huai Jun, and he couldn't back down. It was impossible for him to watch Huai Jun get married and give them blessings.

The air was getting thinner and thinner, and he couldn't even think. At an extremely uncomfortable moment, he pulled back the quilt, "huh, hoh..." breathing heavily, sucking back the lack of air.

He is always afraid of death.

Everyone should survive. In this painful reality, Chen Pu, who has been saying that he would rather die than see Huai Jun take over the imperial decree, still chooses to pull the quilt away from the verge of death, and he still chooses to live in this painful place. Continue to survive in reality!

A mocking voice seemed to ring in Chen Pu's ears: "Chen Pu, you are a coward, you are a coward who sneaks into life with despair."

Another warm voice sounded: "There is no real despair in this world, except death."

Death is despair, it is fear, no one knows what death is like, the sad person does not know that death makes him lose everything.

Tears rolled down the corners of his eyes, he felt the wetness on his face, and raised his hand to wipe away the tears in disgust.

——Chen Pu, you man, don't be so cowardly. Without him, you have to learn how to be strong; without him, you can live well.

Since you want to live, you should no longer be in despair.It is an indisputable fact that Huai Jun wants to marry a wife. He accepted the imperial decree while hesitating, so Chen Pu should accept it decisively.

There was no hope, so what was the use of being sad alone?So there is no hope, because he belonged to Huaijun in the past years, but Huaijun will leave in the next years, he should give himself a new hope.

He suddenly remembered what he said to Huai Jun that day in the library, "Third Prince, if possible, let's go to the outside world."

And Huai Jun responded affectionately: "Okay, as long as it is where Pu'er wants to go, I am willing to accompany you."

Thinking of this, my heart moved, and the jade pendant on my chest became warm.

He believed that Huai Jun was sincere when he said these words. Even though Huai Jun had lied to him, he still believed that Huai Jun loved him, because in the past days, they only had each other, and at that time they would put their whole hearts together. gave it to the other party.

But now they are all mixed with too much, too much.

In the final analysis, Huai Jun was not wrong, nor was Chen Pu, it was just that this court could not tolerate them.

Hearing the sound of drizzle outside, Chen Pu's messy heart unexpectedly calmed down, and he knew what to do.

After Chen Pu figured it out, Huai Jun also came back from the court meeting where the war was raging.

On the third day of Zhilan's marriage, the situation in the court also turned upside down.

Zhilan was the eldest princess whom the Holy Majesty loved the most, but the Holy Majesty married her to the Qiang Kingdom.Yong Ting and Nuo Xu have always been valued by the Holy Majesty, when Yong Ting took over the government, everyone thought that the Holy Majesty would hand over the power to him, but when the Holy Majesty returned to the court meeting, Yong Ting disappeared for a few days, hiding in Dongqin Palace every day, Depressed, even Prime Minister Li disappeared.

Just when the ministers thought that the Li family had become a declining trend, and put all their hopes on Nuoxu, they fawned and fawned, but yesterday an imperial decree turned the situation around again. No one thought that the Holy Majesty would delay The purpose of setting up the crown prince was to wait for Huai Jun's crown ceremony and enter the main hall.

At the same time, the daughter-in-law of the Dong family was established as the crown princess, and Dong's status was further improved overnight.

At the court meeting, General Peng made a statement about the recent Hungarian border violations, but let the ministers use it to light fireworks.Cheng Li was always targeting Prime Minister Mo, but General Dong was clearly on the side of Prime Minister Mo and wanted to suppress Li, but Nuo Xu and Huai Jun, who were supposed to draw their swords, just watched with cold eyes, making it hard to guess what they were thinking.

After repeated arguments, there was no result. At noon, the Holy Majesty felt sleepy and had to end the court meeting, which interrupted the dispute.

After Huai Jun left the main hall, he immediately rushed back to the Zhaohe Hall, and the eunuchs at the side followed his steps closely with umbrellas.

After returning to the Hall of Zhaohe, he saw Ah Fu cleaning up the remaining magnolia flowers all over the floor as a maidservant in the Ming Palace.He sent the eunuch down, and Ah Fu came over smartly: "The servant sees the prince."

"Did Pu'er drink the hangover tea?" Huai Jun tried his best not to sound so nervous, but his hands had already wrinkled his sleeves.

"Drinked."

These two words immediately relieved Huai Jun, he was worried that Chen Pu would have a headache after waking up, and every time he saw his pale face, he would worry for a while.He couldn't help but wondered if Chen Pu was willing to drink the hangover tea he ordered someone to bring, did it mean that half of his anger had subsided?

He asked again: "Then what about people?"

Looking around, there was no sign of Chen Pu.

"After drinking the hangover tea, he rested and didn't come out all morning." Ah Fu replied honestly.

"Have you delivered breakfast?" Huai Jun frowned and asked.

"The servant was afraid of disturbing Chen Zhonglang's rest, so he asked people to save the breakfast and reheat it when he woke up."

"Well, you back down." He ordered, and Ah Fu also retreated as ordered, but after walking a few steps, Huai Jun called him again: "Ah Fu, the flowering period of magnolia flowers is over?"

Ah Fu nodded and said, "Yes, my lord."

This answer made Huai Jun's heart sink, and the bad omen spread to his limbs, making him very depressed.

He gestured for A Fu to step back, and glanced at the magnolia tree, the magnolia flower was precariously on the branch, and the maid swept the flower away.

He had never been so sad when the magnolia flower was withering before, but at this moment he thought sadly that the magnolia flower was withering, and the concubine Jun who loved it was gone, so what about Chen Pu who often played the flute under the tree?

He shook his head, telling himself not to think about it.

Huai Jun walked to the bedroom, put his hand on the door, and stopped timidly when he was about to push it open.

He was afraid that Chen Pu didn't want to see him, and he was even more afraid of seeing Chen Pu's disheartened expression.But he couldn't hesitate here. Now that he went in, if Chen Pu was still resting, he would stay by his side until he woke up; if Chen Pu woke up, they would have a good talk.

He took a deep breath, and with the strength of this breath, pushed the door open.However, after the door was pushed open, there were no two situations that Huai Jun had expected, but instead, there was no one on the messy bed.

He took a deep breath, and immediately retreated like a madman, striding towards other places in the hall to find traces of Chen Pu.

——Pu'er, you can't go, you can't leave me...

Huai Jun pressed his beating heart tightly and walked to Chen Pu's bedroom.

He pushed open the door impatiently, the hesitation and timidity just now were no match for the fear now, he only wanted to see Chen Pu, he only wanted Chen Pu to stay by his side.

God has always been kind to him, this time when he opened the door and walked in, what he saw was the bulge on the bed and a sleeping face exposed on the quilt, and his uneasy heart calmed down.

He moved a stool, sat by the bed, and stared at Chen Pu affectionately.

"Pu'er..." He raised his hand, caressed Chen Pu's face, and said softly, "I didn't see you just now, I thought you were gone. You said I'm so stupid, this palace is heavily guarded, how could you get there? I I know that everything is my fault, I am sorry for you, but you don't go, don't leave me.

"I took over the imperial decree because I was afraid that you would repeat the same mistakes as Ming Luo. I couldn't just watch you get hurt. You understand the pain of the second emperor brother, why don't you understand me? I'm afraid of you leaving, how can I not be afraid of your death?"

He suddenly chuckled and said sarcastically: "But who can accept seeing the person he loves get married? I should go away with you. It's because I'm selfish and I can't give up everything here. Pu'er, I'm not without desires Please, I have something to ask, even if I can leave with you, am I willing to be an ordinary person for the rest of my life? I am not reconciled, but I want to keep you..." Huai Jun couldn't help his eyes moisten when he said this , Chen Pu's quiet face also became blurred, who knew that he was suffering in every possible way between choices.

"I love you, it's true," he said tearfully.

"Huai Jun, you can't be so greedy." Chen Pu's lips moved slowly, and his eyes opened accordingly.

He didn't fall asleep, but Huai Jun came in so suddenly that he didn't know how to face it.But listening to every word from Huai Jun's heart, Chen Pu's heart was tugged, and after several struggles, he decided to end the matter.

"You're awake." Huai Jun said bitterly, retracting his hand.

"I woke up a long time ago. I heard everything you said." Chen Pu sat up from the bed, looked at Huai Jun's haggard face day by day, and thought to himself, even if he got everything, would he be happy?

Maybe things are just between willingness and unwillingness. If you are unwilling, you will naturally be unhappy, and regret will follow you for a lifetime, but even if you do something willingly, you may not be happy or regret it.

But Huai Jun should do it, because he has never tried it, how can Chen Pu conclude that he will have a bad life in the future?

"Pu'er, I..." Looking at Chen Pu's tired expression, Huai Jun hesitated to speak, and finally only three words were left to say: "I'm sorry."

"I accept." He pulled out a dark smile. Now that he has made a decision, why make Huai Jun feel guilty?

Things become a thing of the past after a night of drinking and a night of sleep. Whether it can pass with time depends on whether Chen Pu is willing to look away.Although he can't see through it, he also understands the truth. Attachment is meaningless, and he should try to let go.

He opened his mouth and said something cruel to Yu Huaijun in an understatement: "I understand and accept everything you have done, but let me go."

"What?" Huai Jun roared in shock, and asked again in disbelief: "What did you say?"

"Let me go." He repeated the words firmly, even though Huai Jun's eyes were full of sadness, he still said firmly: "Let me go."

"Impossible!" He roared angrily, and the lingering sound of the roar became a mutter to himself: "I can't let you go, you can't leave me, you can't..." After saying it several times, Huai Jun Finally unable to stop the panic in his heart and turning into helplessness, he turned his head sideways, opened his eyes wide and looked up, holding back the tears in his eyes.

He couldn't imagine Chen Pu's departure, Concubine Jun had passed away, if Chen Pu left, he would be left alone again.

With the rustling of the rain outside the window, he thought of the field of magnolia flowers stained by mud. It turned out that the withered magnolia flowers were telling him that Chen Pu was leaving.

"Then do you have a reason for me to stay?" Chen Pu asked calmly. In fact, when he saw Huai Jun being so fragile, he couldn't bear it, but he stayed, it was just adding to the two. The pain of the three people is even more so.

"You said you would never leave me." He said sadly, but he didn't dare to look into Chen Pu's bright eyes.

"Huaijun, you can't use my promise to ask for anything from me. No man can tolerate that his lover will marry someone other than himself."

"When you leave, I will be left alone in the palace." Huai Jun said weakly.

"What you are most afraid of is not me leaving, but loneliness. But the princess will accompany you for the rest of your life. At that time, you can do whatever you want, and she will support you. It's not like I blame you everywhere, and it's not like I only think about others. I never thought about you." Chen Pu said mockingly, but when he thought that the Crown Princess would replace him and accompany Huai Jun, he felt a little uncomfortable.

"It's different, she's different from you!" He retorted loudly, and looked at Chen Pu again, only then did Chen Pu see that his eyes, which were holding back tears, were covered with red threads.

"What's the difference? You love me because we've been together for ten years, but with her by your side for the next 20 or 30 years, one day you'll love her more than I do."

"No," Huai Jun shook his head and denied, "I only love you, Pu'er, stay for me."

"I stay for you, so you can either follow me or let me go for me."

"You said you accepted what I did, but you didn't really accept it at all! You can't persuade me to let you go, don't refute my words, I know I'm not good, but in front of the imperial decree, you let me choose what to get ?" Huai Jun held Chen Pu's hand and said excitedly, the tears he held back finally flowed down.

He has long been manipulated by power and ambition.

□□The third son of the emperor has just reached the year of the crown ceremony. He has his own ideals. When he was studying at midnight, he thought about the blueprints of many countries. He wants the people in the world to live comfortably under his rule. Taiping, he wanted the neighboring states to be headed by Mao Zedong.

He wanted to make Concubine Concubine Junxue, he wanted to have a taste of the ninety-five position, and look down on the world with Chen Pu, what's wrong with all of these?

He hurt Yong Ting and Min Luo, but he never thought of hurting Chen Pu!He never thought of marrying the princess, but the imperial decree came down.But Chen Pu was hurt because of him, and he was heartbroken because of it.

Chen Pu raised his hand, wiped away the tears from Huai Jun's face, and softened his tough tone: "I really accept it, and I have no reason not to accept it, but I accept it, but I can't compromise. You can marry Wife, you can fight for power and profit, but I can't deceive myself, just stay by your side, because everything will not be fine."

"No, I won't let you go."

"You are very selfish." Chen Pu said sadly.

Huai Jun didn't care how many people he hurt if he wanted power, and Huai Jun didn't care how deeply Chen Pu's heart was pierced by his sharp knife called emotion if he wanted Chen Pu to stay.

"I know, but I want you to stay."

"Huaijun, what do you think I'm staying here for? Do you want to be jealous with a woman? I can't do this kind of thing, but you want me to see how loving you are?" Chen Pu said with angina So, he didn't even have the courage to imagine that scene.

"I..." As soon as Huai Jun spoke, Ah Fu outside the door interrupted him with a loud voice.

"My lord, the master who made the royal uniform came to measure for you." Just now, Ah Fu vaguely heard the quarrel between the two, so when the master came, he immediately came to inform Huai Jun to stop their quarrel .

But Ah Fu didn't know that this action made the atmosphere between the two cool down quickly, Chen Pu moved the corners of his lips slightly, and looked at Huai Jun with a wry smile.Huai Jun turned pale, afraid that Chen Pu would push him away and leave him.

The next moment, Chen Pu just said softly: "Don't keep master waiting, getting a wife is a big event, let master make a beautiful royal uniform."

"Pu'er..." Huai Jun looked at him worriedly.

"Go ahead, I want to take a break."

Huai Jun understood that Chen Pu didn't want to talk any more, so he had to wipe the tears off his face, stood up and left.

Before leaving, he took another deep look at Chen Pu, and said resolutely, "Pu'er, you can only stay by my side." After that, he left before Chen Pu could respond. In fact, he was afraid of Chen Pu. Pu contradicted him again and he had nothing to say.

After he left, Chen Pu was left smiling wryly, laughing at himself, and sad.

Huai Jun was afraid of being lonely, but what he didn't know was that seeing the relationship between the two of them become like this, Chen Pu felt even more lonely.
