landslide

?Pu'er, let's go.

Pu'er, let's go, let's go, let's go... A voice came from the emptiness, and it became clearer and clearer, but he couldn't move, so he had to let the voice slap him on the face like a slap, It was like countless fingers sharply scratching his whole body, and thousands of black shadows appeared with this voice, submerging him like a flood.

He wanted to break free from all the pain, but he couldn't move a finger with all his strength, and was tortured and imprisoned helplessly by the lonely voice.

The black shadows covered his lower body, pressing up one after another, and then buried his upper body, leaving his head outside, his eyes widened in horror, the clear eyes revealed fear, and he opened his mouth as hard as he could , sucking the thinner and thinner air.

The black shadow came to his neck, and he couldn't avoid it. He felt that this body was not his own, but he clearly felt that the black shadow was pressing him heavily.

Another black shadow yelled for him to leave, but held him down and wouldn't let him move.

"Ah!!!" When the black shadow was about to touch his face, he couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted out the fear in his heart with all his strength.

He woke up startled on the bed, looked around blankly, and heaved a sigh of relief after realizing that this was his bedroom, it turned out to be a dream.

He fixed his eyes on the outside half-covered by the window. At this moment, the dense cloud revealed a glimmer of light, and the light slowly faded the ink color of the cloud. A new day came, but his heart was weighed down by a solid stone. .

There was the sound of small footsteps outside, and people were busy back and forth.

Chen Pu affirmed that the servants and eunuchs of the palace stayed up all night, and today is the important day for the third prince to be proclaimed the crown prince and to marry the crown princess, so there must be no mistakes.They were running around all night, but Chen Pu could still get a "good" sleep, it should be thanks to Huai Jun for being tolerant to him all the time.

Thinking of Huai Jun's kindness to him all the time, he felt even more conflicted.

He had been waiting for Huaijun to agree to let him leave, and when Huaijun agreed, he felt that those words were like an awl slamming into his heart, and the pain was so painful that he could not yell or speak, Qianchou Wan Xu was forcibly blocked by the awl, like a choked fish bone, unable to spit it out, could not spit it out again, this fish bone seemed to grow in the flesh and blood!

As Nuo Xu said, now a person let go of the person he loves deeply, and a person he loves deeply tells him to leave, and it took them half of their lives to say and accept this sentence.But Chen Pu told himself again, don't regret it, wounds can be healed, staying here will only continue to be whipped, and there will be no day of healing.

Thinking of this, his eyes lit up with a glimmer of hope, a glimmer of hope other than love, for example, he can go to Yangzhou, maybe he will find his lost family.

There was still a chaotic pace outside, a person stopped unexpectedly, he raised his hand and knocked on the door, making Chen Pu's body stiff.

He hoped that it was Huai Jun, so that he could see him again before leaving the palace; he was also afraid that it was Huai Jun, worried that Huai Jun would change his mind, or that he would be reluctant to leave him.

"Come in." He looked expectantly or fearfully at the door being pushed open, and a blue shadow stepped in.

As a result, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then endless disappointment overwhelmed him.

The person who came was not Huai Jun, but Mo Huichuan.

"Pu'er, Wang Wang asked me to come and see you off." Mo Huichuan walked up to Chen Pu with an amiable smile on his face. She made an intimacy, "Have you packed your things yet?"

"I packed half of it yesterday." Chen Pu pulled off the quilt that was still covering him, got out of bed, put on the blue clothes hanging beside him, then went to the cabinet and opened the drawer, taking out the things inside while Tell Mo Huichuan: "Actually, I'll just go by myself. I'll trouble Brother Mo to make this trip."

"Don't bother. Although it's Wang Wang's intention to come here, it's also my intention. If I don't come today, I don't know when I can see you."

Hearing this, Chen Pu did not object to Mo Huichuan coming to see him off.

He took the Yuping flute and Fengping flute in his hand, then turned around and walked to the chair in front of him to sit down, "Brother Mo, sit down for a while, I can leave after wiping these two flutes." After finishing speaking, he He picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped the jade screen flute first, and Mo Huichuan sat beside him.

Mo Huichuan watched Chen Pu wipe the flute carefully, his posture of lowering his head quietly, just like Fan Shaoqian concentrated on copying the book for Nuo Xu.Faced with the feeling that the two of them had different appearances but were unexpectedly similar, Mo Huichuan was no longer surprised, but cared more about him.

He must ensure that Chen Pu walks smoothly.

"This jade screen flute was given to me by Huai Jun when I first learned how to play the flute." Before he left, Chen Pu also called Huai Jun's name with nostalgia, recalling the past.

Chen Pu wiped the Yuping flute and put it in his sleeve, then picked up the Fengping flute, his thoughts drifted to a distant place, and he said: "And this Fengping flute was given to me on my birthday this year, Unfortunately, Longfeng Pingxiao, I did accept this gift by mistake."

"A gift is based on your heart. What you received was not Feng Pingxiao, but King Yu's heart."

"However," Chen Pu wrapped Fengpingxiao in a silk handkerchief, and the moment he put it on the table, he felt that part of his heart had been gouged out, and his eyes were covered with a layer of reluctance: "I'm leaving him now, we Holding your heart and giving it to the other party, but you can't get it in exchange for a lifetime, do you think I will betray him or he will betray me?"

"This..." How can Mo Huichuan, an outsider like Mo Huichuan, be able to explain the matter of feelings clearly, he has nothing to say for a while, but Huai Jun is willing to let Chen Pu go, so he knows that Huai Jun really has intentions for Chen Pu of.

However, it is indeed too difficult for a 20-year-old boy to choose between love and power.

Before Mo Huichuan could answer, Chen Pu answered by himself: "Neither of us betrayed our feelings, but our identities and aspirations are destined to run in the opposite direction."

What Huai Jun wants is the whole world, what Chen Pu wants is only a place that can accommodate the two of them, and it is this that prevents them from being together forever.

"After all, it's youthful ambition, Pu'er, don't blame King Yu in the days to come."

"I don't blame him." Chen Pu tried his best to squeeze out a smile. He didn't say these words to make Mo Huichuan worry about him. He just wanted someone to listen to him, let him tell all the things, and then leave the palace to pass his life. New days, "I've thought too much these days, and my thoughts are a little confused. It's hard for Brother Mo to listen to my nonsense."

"If your random words are sincere, it doesn't hurt to listen to a few more words."

Chen Pu glanced at the sky outside the window, the sun moved westward for a few minutes, and the sky was already bright.He knew it was getting late, and he hoped to leave the palace before Huai Jun got married.

So he stood up, went to the cabinet and took out the two sets of clothes. While tidying up, he poured out the words that had been stuck in his heart for a long time to Mo Huichuan: "I am very envious of King Yi's affection for the fourth prince."

"Yi Wang's love is very firm, it's a pity that they have to separate Yin and Yang." Mo Huichuan also remembered that Yong Ting endured the pain that day, and gave him Min Luo's hand, and asked him to take Min Luo away, just to protect Min Luo However, Min Luo did not leave the palace after all, and the following incidents became more intense because they were one step late.

"But neither Huai Jun nor I can be as determined as he is. If we are a little more determined, maybe he can let go of everything here and stay with me."

"Pu'er, in the face of reality, we don't have to be firm to have everything." Mo Huichuan also stepped forward, watching Chen Pu put things on the cloth, "You said to do it again and the king of art can predict the result , will he let him go earlier in order to save the fourth prince's life?"

Chen Pu pulled the cloth up from side to side, and decided because of Mo Huichuan's question, until he said the answer: "Yes." Then he tied the cloth into a big knot, so that things could be placed inside safely.

"Then will the fourth prince be sad?" This answer is well known to everyone, so Mo Huichuan continued without waiting for Chen Pu's answer: "The fate of the fourth prince is the best omen for King Yu, and he will accept it." Part of the reason for passing the imperial decree is because of you. As for your leaving, I believe you have thought it through carefully. This is the choice we have to make in reality."

Chen Pu turned around and went to the cabinet again, took out a box, and took out a piece of paper inside, with a few strong words on it - the mountain has no tomb, so he dares to break with the king.Chen Pu looked at it in a daze, as if everything in the past was circulating in these eight characters, and only a sigh remained in the end.

what is realityStanding here is reality. Even though he drank a thousand glasses of wine and thought he could escape from reality, what he still lives in is reality.

Reality is an inescapable prison.They are trapped inside, and it is true that they cannot be broken through by emotion alone.

"I understand what you said." Chen Pu folded the paper, put it in the lapel of his clothes, and put the burden on his shoulders, "Brother Mo, we can go." After saying that, he picked up his pace and walked towards the door .

Mo Huichuan followed him for a few steps, and caught a glimpse of something on the table, which was the Fengping flute wrapped in silk handkerchief.He originally wanted to open his mouth to remind Chen Pu, but when the words came to his lips, he understood, so he had no choice but to follow him away without saying a word.

They chose a less-populated road to walk, but the sun here was so fierce that the two of them were sweating.Sweat dripped on Chen Pu's eyelashes, blurring his vision.He wiped away the sweat with the back of his hand, his eyes became clear, and his legs were fixed in front of the Nangong Gate.

"Brother Mo," he looked at Mo Huichuan, as if he had a lot to say, but he put his hand on his chest and pressed the jade pendant through his clothes, and the only thing he could say was: "I'm leaving." Because he All the words I wanted to say to Huai Jun.

Huai Jun, I have always remembered the benevolence and righteousness you taught me since I was a child. Don't lose your true nature in this court.

Huai Jun, maybe you will fall in love with the princess in the future, just don't forget that you and I once fell in love when we were young and carefree.

Huai Jun, if you want to ascend to the throne of God, the mountain must first collapse. It will be a matter of time before we part.

Huai Jun, if we say goodbye today, we will say goodbye forever.

Huai Jun, Huai Jun... It is enough to have Huai Jun's sincerity in this life. If you step out from here, don't look back. He will be able to live well outside.

Mo Huichuan took a bag of silver taels from his sleeve and handed it to Chen Pu. Seeing this, Chen Pu immediately withdrew his hands and refused to accept it, but Mo Huichuan didn't allow Chen Pu to refuse, so he forced the silver taels into his hand, "Put the silver taels Accept it, you always need some money along the way, as the eldest brother, I can only do this for you."

"I can't have it..." Chen Pu finished speaking halfway, seeing Mo Huichuan's rare frown, he reluctantly accepted the money.

Although he didn't want to be favored by others for nothing, how could he not know the truth that money is needed everywhere?It is always a good thing to have some silver on you.

"Pu'er," Mo Huichuan said inexplicably to Chen Pu, "you are still young, you will not know where the end is. Your feelings may be given to another person in the future, and you may see Hui Huaijun again. Anyway, you This trip out of the palace, just live it well. Don’t always live in the memory, you want to get out of the shackles when you leave here. Maybe you will regret it, but you have to believe that you will get more out of it than you regret.”

Chen Pu couldn't digest Mo Huichuan's words for a while, but he still nodded and said gratefully: "Thank you, Brother Mo." As soon as he finished speaking, he pushed open the palace door, took out a palace order from his sleeve, and handed it over to the palace. To the two guards outside, the two guards took a look and let Chen Pu leave.

Mo Huichuan looked at the back of Chen Pu leaving, feeling all sorts of feelings. That time he watched Fan Shaoqian leave like this, and that time, Fan Shaoqian said to him when he was parting - Huichuan, we are still young, we don’t know Where is the end.Me and you, and Nuoxu may meet again in the future, or maybe never, I know the only thing I will regret is this relationship, but you all have to believe me, I will get more out of it than regret .

He stared at the back of Chen Pu, as if seeing Fan Shaoqian in the distance.He wanted to ask him a question - how are you doing outside?He repeated Fan Shaoqian's words to Chen Pu, hoping that Chen Pu would have Fan Shaoqian's self-confidence and get more outside.

Here, Chen Pu, with conflicting and complicated moods, left the palace as he wished, and stepped into a strange world, separated from Huai Jun ever since.On the other side, Huai Jun stood in the dormitory, opened his arms, and asked the maids to put on the royal uniform for him.

The white catkins of the palace maids moved around his body, arranging his clothes, and there were eunuchs moving things back and forth into the bedroom beside him. Huai Jun didn't look into what those things were, only knowing that countless reds were piled up on his body. Together, the Hall of Showa was dyed a bright red.

These reds stimulated his eyes and squeezed his breathing space, so he had no choice but to turn his eyes to the blue sky outside, and his eyes floated with the white clouds.

——Is Pu’er still there?Or is he already gone?

After today, Huai Jun is the crown prince under one person, he should be happy, but this happiness can't reduce the loss and melancholy caused by Chen Pu's departure.

Perhaps, everything requires a price, he gains power but loses Chen Pu, which is more important, and not a concubine can exchange it for him.

Perhaps, this is just a scene, a scene they performed with all their heartache.Huai Jun's gaze suddenly became sharp, as for the future plot, he must be in control!

"Brother Huang, what are you thinking?" Min Xuan came over suddenly, breaking Huai Jun's thoughts.

He came to Zhaohe Hall early in the morning to see if there was any help. Seeing that he was busy and had nothing to do, he went to the Book Hall to borrow a book. When he came back, he saw Huai Jun lost in thought.

"It's okay." Huai Jun glanced at the maid. The woman was careful and could find small flaws to fix. Compared with him, the master, she seemed too enthusiastic.However, this is the duty of a court lady, and he is just too careless.

Seeing that the royal uniforms were almost finished, he lost the patience to look at their meticulous attitude, so he sent them away. Anyway, he couldn't see the flaws in their eyes.

These maids withdrew, and two more maids came in.They bowed slightly to Huai Jun and Min Xuan, and walked to the bed. One of the maids took out a piece of red square cloth and spread it on the same red bedding, and the other maid took out lotus seeds and put them on top.

Lotus seeds, lotus seeds, precious sons in successive years.

"The whole palace has been busy with the ceremony these few days. I didn't expect the ceremony to be completed in a few days." Min Xuan said casually, watching the two eunuchs bring the box in and put it aside, "It's just that the Renfu Palace hasn't been tidied up yet, and it will take a few days before we can move in."

Renfu Palace has always been the residence of the prince.

"It's only a few days, it's not a big problem." Huai Jun didn't care about this matter. In his opinion, the crown prince was already in his pocket, and whether he could live in Renfu Palace was too important.

If possible, he would rather live in the Showa Hall.

The two eunuchs put down the box and left. Min Xuan and Huai Jun were left in the dormitory at this time. Min Xuan suddenly felt that something was wrong and was a little surprised by this situation.

"Where is Chen Pu?" He asked, but he quickly gave himself an answer in his heart. Chen Pu definitely couldn't accept that Huai Jun wanted to marry a wife, so he got angry and hid in the room.

Thinking of this, Min Xuan frowned, and thought to himself—this person, he was born a man in vain, not only did he not have the slightest ambition, but he even had a temper tantrum with Brother Sanhuang at this point, couldn't he How important is it to the third brother to understand the position of the crown prince?It's just that he is stubbornly obsessed with the matter of the third brother marrying a wife?

——It doesn't matter if he doesn't have ambitions, and it doesn't matter if he likes Brother Sanhuang, but he can't hinder Brother Sanhuang's future!Could it be that Brother Sanhuang deserves not to marry a wife for his whole life?This is simply impossible!

"He," Huai Jun's eyes suddenly lost their luster and became dim, and his heart was also aching, "he probably left."

"Gone?" Min Xuan looked at Huai Jun in surprise, which made him even more surprised.

"He wanted to leave a long time ago, but I have been unwilling to let him go." Speaking of this, he couldn't help laughing at himself: "He asked me to fight for power, he asked me to marry a wife, why did he let me go so easily?" He said I was selfish, Mo Huichuan said I was too greedy, but I also have my attachments, why am I wrong? But Mo Huichuan was right, how could he stay in such a place of right and wrong, I still let He's gone." He poured out to Min Xuan the things that weighed heavily on him these past few days, and now in this court, Min Xuan is the most worthy of his trust.

When Minxuan heard Mo Huichuan's name, his body froze obviously, but he didn't want to guess the reason why Mo Huichuan intervened in this matter. Since that spring, there was one thing that he never wanted to think of again. He had an intuition that if he continued to think about this matter, it would be involved there.

"Since he's gone, why should Brother Huang think about him anymore?" Min Xuan casually replied, not wanting to dwell on this topic anymore, but seeing Huai Jun's frustrated appearance at seeing Chen Pu, he couldn't help saying: "I heard that Sister-in-law Huang is a well-known talented woman in the capital, she is definitely a perfect match for Brother Huang."

"I've seen her before, she's a good woman." He thought of the person in blue at that time, if Chen Pu didn't exist in his life, he might fall in love with her, but now it's impossible, "love" means A single word is so heavy that he can't give it to her, "However, losing the person you love the most on the wedding day cannot be brought back by how good she is. Minxuan, you still don't understand the thing about feelings, but you don't. According to that decree, it is impossible for me to marry her."

Huai Jun fixed his eyes on the man in the bronze mirror who was wearing a big red robe, but he was talking about his love for others, what an irony!If he loves Chen Pu so much, why would he wear this uniform?Why doesn't he love his princess when he puts on this royal uniform?

"Chen Pu has already left, does the emperor want to remember him every night, and even missed his daughter's life?" Min Xuan couldn't hide his excitement, and raised his voice.

He thought of Concubine Jia being left out in the cold by the sage, her beauty gradually faded away in the deep palace, she looked at the only man in her life who came to see her every day, but when she passed away, she still couldn't see him.She hoped that he could be valued by the Holy One, but he turned out to be a coward for the same reason!

His father thought he valued love, but he was the most ruthless one. He couldn't interfere with Huai Jun's private affairs, but he didn't want to see another woman suffer for it.

"I'll be nice to her." This was the only compensation method Huai Jun thought of, but Min Xuan shook his head, unable to agree, and when he was about to refute, Huai Jun said earlier than him: "When the time comes, I will bring Pu'er back."

Minxuan can't understand the deep love between the two men, but only knows that Chen Pu will drag Huai Jun down, just like Yong Ting's loss of power, this kind of relationship is wrong, he can't get stuck in it, Chen Pu can't come back!

He made up his mind - Chen Pu can't come back!

He turned around angrily, and said: "The auspicious time is coming, brother, please prepare to go." Then he left the dormitory, and ordered the maids outside to come over and put on Huai Jun's hair crown before rushing to the ceremony.

Huai Jun looked at Min Xuan's leaving figure and didn't blame him. He naturally understood that not everyone could understand this feeling. Prevent him from being with Chen Pu, and Chen Pu will be with him under the blessing of the world.

After the maid put on a hair crown for him, and adjusted the royal uniform, he stepped out of the bedroom and left the Hall of Zhaohe.

After today, he will be the prince, he will have a princess, he will treat this princess very well, making all women in the world envy her, after that he will pick Chen Pu back, and he will protect the person he loves the most.

——Pu'er, I can't accompany you out of the palace this time, but I promise you that I will accompany you out again after the matter is over.

The auspicious time is approaching, and the guests at the ceremony have already taken their seats.

The ceremony was held outside the main hall, and a stage was set up, covered with red silk, full of festive atmosphere.The three brothers Nuo Xu, Yong Ting and Min Xuan sat under the stage, their absent-minded appearance reflected by the bright sun, obviously each had their own concerns.

Min Xuan tapped his fingers on the table. This was a small movement when he was thinking about something. Nuo Xu glanced at the emperor who had been out of the palace for a long time, and couldn't guess what he was planning; Yong Ting leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes. My eyes reminded me of Min Luo——Min Luo, Ming Luo, and Wu Huaijun's crown prince came back with your life; Nuo Xu poured wine into the wine glass and drank one after another.

Suddenly, someone stopped him from continuing to drink.

"My lord, you shouldn't drink any more." The one who stopped him was Mo Huichuan, he rushed back from the Nangong Gate, and what he saw was that Nuo Xu, who would drink only on Shaoqian's birthday, was raising his glass depressedly at the moment, Make him a little uncomfortable.

"Today is a happy day. We should all be happy for Huai Jun to be crowned prince." He picked up the wine glass, toasted Yong Ting, and drank it down. "On such a happy day, why not drink one more glass?"

Yong Ting glared at Nuo Xu, not understanding what kind of drunken madness he was having.

"Yong Ting, you should smile, father doesn't want to see you with a straight face." Nuo Xu leaned close to Yong Ting and whispered.

Yong Ting turned his head away, unwilling to talk to this slightly drunk person.

"We all want to congratulate His Highness the Prince." Seeing that Yong Ting ignored him, he turned to Min Xuan and said, "Your Highness is a talented person, we must do our best to assist him in governing the country."

Min Xuan's fingers paused, but he didn't look at Nuo Xu directly, and resumed the frequency of tapping, falling into his own thoughts again.

Seeing that the two younger brothers ignored him, Nuo Xu felt bored, so he had to turn around and talk to Mo Huichuan.

"Pu'er is gone?" He asked casually, but recalled the figure of him hiding behind the tree and watching the person in green leave, and couldn't help chuckling.

But this sentence caught the attention of Yong Ting and Min Xuan, and they moved closer to Nuo Xu without any trace, so as to hear their words more clearly.

"Ah."

"It's good to go." Nuo Xu was really drunk or fake drunk, and the laughter escaped from his lips, and he said a meaningful sentence: "He thought he was going to get everything, but in fact, what did he get?" Huai Jun boasted that he wanted to have both bear's paw and fish in Haikou, but now that he lost the fish, he might not even be able to eat bear's paw.

Minxuan retreated to his position, he knew that they could not see that they had worked hard for many years, but Huai Jun got the crown prince, so he could only use such vulgar means to stimulate him, but Minxuan was quite satisfied with Nuoxu's meddling Yes, at least he eliminated a person who hindered his future for Huaijun.

"My lord," Mo Huichuan hesitated to speak, he knew that Nuo Xu meant something.

"And those who think they have lost everything, how can they let themselves lose more?" He looked at Yong Ting's resolute side face, just in line with Yong Ting's squinting eyes. What he said was telling Yong Ting, and also tell myself.

Yong Ting snorted coldly and poured himself a glass of wine.

He looked up to the sky and drank the wine, and poured a new glass, but he spilled this glass on the ground, letting Yan Yang evaporate the wine, like an alcoholic eager to drink it all up.

——Ming Luo, Brother Dahuang is right, for you, I can no longer be depressed, I have nothing left, I am not afraid of anything, I just want Wu Huaijun to try to lose all the taste.

——As for Chen Pu, don't worry, he's not in the palace, I promised you that you won't hurt him and you won't.

The ceremonial officer slowly stepped onto the stage, Huai Jun and His Majesty also arrived, the ceremony is about to begin, everything is about to begin, and the political situation in the court will be completely reversed.

"Huichuan," Nuo Xu asked Mo Huichuan to come closer, and whispered in his ear, "I want to know Miss Peng's next itinerary."

"Yes, my lord." He knew that Nuo Xu had been planning this matter for a long time, but he just couldn't pass his own test, but it seemed that the fact that Huai Jun married General Dong's daughter had stimulated him, so he had no position to refuse. .

The bright sun cast the heat of moxibustion, and Huai Jun stepped onto the stage facing the light. Under the majestic voice of the ceremony official, he turned to the distance, his eyes seemed to pass through the city wall, chasing a distant figure.
