Proton Consort Continued

Pushing aside the guard holding an umbrella, Xiang Xun stepped into the rain alone.

"I want to be alone, and you stay where you are."

Xiang Xun didn't dare to go back to the palace, because he was ashamed.He was afraid that Wan Ming would not be able to answer when he asked Xiang Jing and Xiang Yan.

"Is the emperor here to kill me, or come here for the antidote?" Huli Jinyang looked at Xiang Xun who was grabbing his collar, and said with a smile, "Only I can cure the poison of your princess, so what should I do?" ?”

Xiang Xun patiently let go of Huli Jinyang, gritted his teeth and asked, "Conditions?"

"It's very simple and fair, one life for another, hand over the crown prince, and save the princess." Huli Jinyang looked at Xiang Xun's resentful and surprised eyes with enjoyment, "Reluctant? Compared with the only heir to the throne Is it worthless to be a princess as a daughter? Then when the news of the next battle comes, the sad news of the princess' death from poison will also spread throughout the capital... Or let the prince surrender to Fu Rong and become a prisoner, like you once Like that, a hostage who is famous all over the world. Maybe Princess Furong will take a fancy to her and recruit her as her son-in-law.

Xiang Xun clenched his fists tightly, his heart was burning like it was about to burst.

"Without the crown prince, the three northern cities were captured by Fu Rong, and the three southern counties were owned by the Huli people. The next disastrous and humiliating history of Jing is about to unfold. The good news is that the seriously ill princess of Jing will gradually die. I'm recovering and getting better, I wonder if the emperor is satisfied with such a deal?" Contrary to Xiang Xun, Huli Jinyang's expression was calm, almost cold.

No matter how unable to choose, Xiang Xun still made a choice, and Xiang Jing and Xiang Yan's fate will be changed because of Xiang Xun's choice.

Accidentally stepping into a mud pit full of rainwater, his weak legs could no longer walk, Xiang Xun just knelt in the rainwater just like that, his lips trembling, tears tasted sad and helpless.

"Your Majesty..." Mu Qing, who had been quietly following Xiang Xun since he left the palace, quickly squatted beside Xiang Xun holding an umbrella, in order to block Xiang Xun from the pouring rain, he saw the tears on Xiang Xun's face more clearly It's clear, and Mu Qing's heart is choked with sobs, "Your Majesty, your body won't be able to take it anymore, let's go back to the palace..."

Xiang Xun shook his head and cried out, "Why should I? Why should I go back safe and sound, and why should I decide their fate again and again? Wan'er and I promise their lifetime happiness, but when they are together When I was born, Jing’er started the road of happiness that was destined not to be easy because of me. I knew it better than anyone else, why did I still do this, why?! The choice was just to put the danger on Yan’er’s body. Pushing it to Jinger, what kind of choice is this? I just did this, and then, as I did when I hugged the newborn Jinger, do I believe that Jinger can overcome all this? It is too irresponsible, too ridiculous ..."

"No, it's not like that, the emperor has done everything he can, hasn't he?" Mu Qing tried hard to help Xiang Xun up from the icy rain, "The world is unpredictable, and it's not always the emperor's fault. Man can conquer nature, It's too early to give up now, Your Majesty, please cheer up, you are the Son of Heaven, how can you fall down!"

The rain fell along the edge of the paper fan into a water curtain, and Xiang Xun's forehead touched Mu Qing's shoulders, choking hard, Xiang Xun had carried too much, no amount of comfort was useless, Mu Qing patted Xiang Xun With trembling shoulders and slightly parted lips, he hummed a Jiangnan tune, hoping to convey a little peace and tranquility in this desolate rainy night.

"General Hong, what is the order of the crown prince? It is almost dawn, and the enemy may have reinforcements. How can the crown prince be allowed to fight alone? Order to open the city gate, the last general must go to help the crown prince. How can you just stand here and watch? In case...how can I explain to the emperor and empress?"

Hong Shichang closed his bloodshot eyes, "Zhou Jun, this is a military order!"

"What's the military order to watch the prince die?! General Hong, what's wrong with you and the prince? This is wrong, the last general can't do it, the princess please..."

Hong Shichang knocked Zhou Jun out, his eyes were moist, "Zhou Jun, for the sake of the princess, we have to lose this battle, the prince, the prince..."

Hong Shichang leaned against the pillar behind him and kept beating his head, beating, tears streaming down the hem of the big man's clothes.

"Prince, what did the emperor say? Are you urging us to return to the court in triumph?"

"Uncle Hong..." Xiang Jing stuffed the letter into Hong Shichang's hand, and smiled, "I will tell my father and mother after returning to the dynasty, Yan'er, He'er, I will definitely fulfill my promise, protect the world, love My subjects, return safely."

Xiang Xun's handwriting: Jing'er, for the sake of Yan'er, lose the war with Fu Rong.But for your own sake, find a chance to escape, don't be a hostage, live, live as best you can.

"Big brother, big brother", Hong Xin appeared in front of Hong Shichang in a hurry, grabbed Hong Shichang whose face was full of tears, and kept asking, "Brother, what's wrong with you? I heard that there is a war under the city, what are you doing here, what are you doing?" Where is Jinger? Where is she, talk to me!"

Hong Shichang raised his eyes and looked at Hong Xin who didn't know whether it was an illusion or real, "little sister, you are here, is the emperor here? I want to ask the reason, and I have to ask clearly! The emperor's order is equivalent to sending the prince to death. What, why are you willing to..."

"Brother, you, what nonsense are you talking about?" Hong Xin desperately tried to wake Hong Shichang up, but his heart was already in a panic.

Ye Sui, who was standing at the door, trembled all over, backed up, turned around, and ran towards the city wall with all his might.The sound of the trenches and the screams in the ear became more and more clear, Ye Sui's heart sank slowly and uncontrollably, her eyes were filled with tears, and her heart was full of longing.

"Xiang Jing, Xiang Jing, Xiang Jing, you said... you said..." Wiping away tears over and over again, not wanting to blur his vision, Ye Sui leaned on the city wall, wanting to see the thousands of troops under the city Xiang Jing, "You said you would come back, you want to hear the answer... I am here, my answer is here, where are you? I want to see you, Xiang Jing..."

Snowflakes fell on the back of Ye Sui's hand, the wind blew Ye Sui's cloak, a red wedding dress loomed on Ye Sui's body, and Ye Sui's cry resounded in the whiteness where the snowflakes fell.

"To the diameter, to the diameter..."

"hiss!"

The horseshoe kicked over the ambush soldiers who were stabbing with their spears, Xiang Jing grabbed the reins with his left hand, turned back to look at the city gate that was getting further and further away in disbelief, the blurry figure came into view, and gave Xiang Jing a surprise, " How could I hear He'er calling me like that? I'm really not used to it. It seems that I have to listen to it every day. 'Rufeng', tell me, He'er will be by my side every day, calling me like that?"

"hiss!"

Xiang Jing smiled and raised the sword in his hand towards Ye Sui.

"Can you see me?" Ye Sui saw it, shouted again, and untied the lapel of the cloak, "Xiang Jing, Xiang Jing, come back!"

A touch of red is graceful, standing on the snow-covered city wall, the beauty of the country and the city is the answer that belongs only to Xiang Jing. Xiang Jing understood, smiled, and wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his fingers.

The knife cut across Xiang Jing's arm, Xiang Jing was forced to lower his raised hand, and stabbed the sword towards the approaching enemy.Even after turning the horse's head, Xiang Jing still has the figure of Ye Sui in his mind, clear and profound.

"He'er, wait for me, I won't let you put on your wedding dress alone, wait for me to come back!"

Ye Sui watched Xiang Jing galloping on horseback, farther and farther away from the city wall, and farther away from herself, while the ambush soldiers followed Xiang Jing ferociously like hungry wolves, Ye Sui's tears dried up, standing on tiptoe He raised his feet and used a little lightness kung fu, just wanting to follow the direction like this.

"Ye Sui, no, don't do stupid things!" Hong Xin hugged Ye Sui from behind, but only rescued a soulless Ye Sui.

"Why did this happen? Why? Why didn't you send troops? Can Jing Kingdom do without her? But I can't, I can't..."

The battle dust was covered with snow, not only the dead were cold, but also the living, who would suffer pain and cry.The entire army of Jing State wore white filial cloths, as if to match the white snow all over the sky, which was extremely ironic and unacceptably dazzling.

Wan Ming just thought that Xiang Yan had stabilized a lot under the care of herself and Master Mingning, and the comfort of a cup of tea could not be maintained. Suddenly, the death knell sounded from the palace in the sky above the capital, and the whole city was shocked.Holding back tears all the way, Wan Ming walked quickly and stumbled to find Xiang Xun who was sitting in the imperial study.

"Xun, have you heard? Rumors are flying all over the sky outside, how can you still sit here? Go to investigate, and the slave who rings the bell will be punished! Xun, get up, get up!"

With tears falling on the back of Wan Ming's hand, Wan Ming looked at Xiang Xun with wide eyes, and murmured, "Impossible, impossible, our army has a natural advantage, how could we lose to Fu Rong?! We won the first battle, The morale is full, Jinger, Jinger said that the triumphant return is only a matter of time, isn't it? Xun, Jinger said that..."

"Wan'er, I'm sorry..."

"I'm sorry?" Wan Ming felt incredible, and cried, "Xun, what did you say? There is no reason to lose, even if you lose, it is impossible not to come back... How do you let me accept, how do you accept? Why didn't you send troops, why didn't you support, why didn't you protect the path? I want my path, Xun..."

Wan Ming knelt down on the ground, hugging Xiang Xun and crying loudly.There was a brocade box on Xiang Xun's lap, which contained half of the antidote. Xiang Xun had no way to explain to Wan Ming that half of Xiang Yan's life was exchanged for such a sacrifice.How can this make up for Wan Ming's pain of losing Xiang Zhi, the two indispensable children, can they be forgiven helplessly for considering one thing and losing the other?Xiang Xun himself couldn't convince himself, no matter how it sounded, it was too cruel an excuse.
