Chapter 43

In the mid-autumn of October, the leaves on the branches are almost all gone, leaving only bare gray branches, the weather turns cold, and the bleakness of autumn is getting stronger day by day.

Although Li Nuo took the medicine prepared by Duan Huaiyue, his body was much stronger than before, but he was still weaker than ordinary people. He already felt a little cold at the moment, and he had to burn a stove every day in the house.

This day, she leaned against the stove to warm up, and heard the voice of Yuan Le from far outside the door, "Oh, relax, you don't have to be nervous, there is nothing to be nervous about, Nono is fine..."

Who is nervous?

Li Nuo didn't understand, so he stood up and walked towards the door.It happened that Yuan Le opened the door and came in. Seeing her, she waved her hand quickly, "Don't come here, don't come here, it's a bit cold outside now, you go sit in the inner room."

Li Nuo probed, but didn't see anyone outside the door: "What's the matter? Who is it?"

Yuan Le looked back and said, "Nono, Mr. Xiao Chong is here, he wants to see you."

Li Nuo was slightly taken aback.

"Oh, you may have forgotten, it's the one Huo Yunlang said a while ago..."

"No, I remember." Li Nuo stroked his hair, hesitated for a moment, "Okay, then let him in."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chong would come to see him specially, Li Nuo secretly took a deep breath: His actions like this obviously put the matter of six years ago deeply in his heart, and he still hasn't let it go until now.

I don't know what he will say or do in a while, maybe it will be another inner torture.

Soon, a man in gray came in slowly from the door. He lowered his head slightly and his expression was a little dark.Li Nuo raised his eyes and took a look. Before he could figure out how to address him, he saw Xiao Chong's knees softened and he knelt on the ground with a plop.

Yuan Le was stunned, and Li Nuo was even more startled: "Don't, don't——what are you doing, stand up quickly."

Xiao Chong didn't get up, he closed his eyes, and kowtowed three times earnestly with his hands on the ground.

Every sound of her forehead touching the ground made Li Nuo's heart tremble. How could she dare to accept this gift? She ran over and stood beside Xiao Chong, and stretched out her hand to help without thinking about anything else, "Okay, okay, what is this?"? Master Xiao got up and spoke."

How dare Xiao Chong let Li Nuo help him to stand up with his own hands, he said "Thank you girl" in a low voice, and stood up in a dignified manner.

Li Nuo looked at Yuan Le, and Yuan Le also looked blank, looking hopeless, she could only smile a little, to ease the atmosphere: "Master Xiao, don't scare me like this in the future, maybe you have the same problem as Master HuoWant to ask me for help? Just say it straight, I will try my best to help if I can, if you don’t believe me, you can ask Lele, I am very talkative. "

Obviously, these one or two words were not enough to ease Xiao Chong's emotions, his lips moved, and his brows were deeply regretful.

Li Nuo grew up so big, he only coaxed Fu Chenhuan.For another person, she really didn't know how to speak for a while.

Xiao Chong took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "This subordinate owes the lady a lot, this life should be left to the lady to dispose of, the lady should be killed or cut..."

"Hey—stop, stop," Yuan Le couldn't listen anymore, "Master Xiao, didn't you say that you were just here to pay your respects before you came? I want to know that you said these terrible things, so I won't bring you in.You see, Nono is such a kind person, how could he shout and kill?"

Based on her understanding of Li Nuo, she said directly, "Don't mention those things in the past, the prince didn't even deal with you, and Nono wouldn't - you scare her again by saying these things."

Li Nuo glanced at Yuan Le approvingly, and nodded quickly: "Master Xiao, no matter what happened in the past, it doesn't matter. I heard Master Huo mention that you are brother Chenhuan's right-hand man. Now that you come back, it's a big deal."It's nothing good. So, please don't worry about what happened in the past. "

She means it.

In fact, she really wanted to apologize to Xiao Chong, because he was an innocent person involved in her plan, but she couldn't open her mouth after all.

Xiao Chong tilted his head slightly, "Master Yuan, can you please avoid it for now?"

Yuan Le hesitated for a moment.

She didn't really want to leave, but she only looked at Xiao Chong's humble expression, and also considered Huo Yunlang and the prince's trust in him, so she nodded: "Okay, sir, please make a long story short, the prince is very jealous."

Only then did Xiao Chong show a slight smile, "Yes."

After Yuan Le left, Xiao Chongfu lowered his head again, and said in a low voice with an apologetic expression, "Girl, although you all said that you don't need to bring up the old things again, in my mind, it's different. I know that your past memories are completely different.I also understand that with your kindness, you will never take the lives of your subordinates. However, you must have suffered a lot when you lost your memory. There should be an outlet for these pains and fears, this subordinate..."

"Okay, Master Xiao, I know what you're going to say." Li Nuo interrupted him with a wave of his hand.

She was a little helpless, thought for a while, and said carefully, "I understand your intentions, but I really didn't suffer. At least I have been protected since I woke up by the side of the road when I fainted."

He said with a smile and said in a relaxed tone, "If I was really angry, I would beat you up right now, but I really don't."

Li Nuo looked at him and said seriously: "Lord Xiao, don't feel guilty anymore. No matter what happened before, I just think you don't owe me anything at this moment. In fact... I still have something to ask of you."

Xiao Chong was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly said: "What is it?"

Li Nuo said: "I am incompetent, I am weak and do not know martial arts, I do not have a strong mother family, and I am not smart. It is really not much help to Brother Chenhuan, but you are talented, loyal and reliable, and I will invite you in the future."Help me protect him."

Xiao Chong said in a low voice: "This is the job of the subordinates."

After a pause, he shook his head again: "Why does the girl say that about herself, how can she think that she is incompetent? You are ice-snow smart, without you, the lord... the lord would have passed away six years ago."

"What did you say?"

Li Nuo frowned, and asked anxiously, "What's this saying? What do you mean you didn't exist six years ago?"

Xiao Chong was stunned for a moment, and then realized - Li Nuo didn't remember about the small wooden box.

Can't remember, and no one told her.He hesitated whether he should say it or not, but seeing Li Nuo's anxious expression, he thought about it and said:

"Girl, you had an accident six years ago. All of us thought you were no longer alive. At that time, the prince was so heartbroken that his life was worse than death. He originally wanted to die for you immediately."

His words were well-spoken and straightforward, without exaggerating too much rhetoric, but Li Nuo heard them like thunderclaps.

Every word hit her heart with heavy force.

Heartbroken.

Life is better than death.

die for her.

The state of mind is different at this moment, a few words, it sounds like my heart is jumping with fear.

She hardly dared to imagine how hopeless and heartbroken Fu Chenhuan was at that time - just thinking about it is already unbearable, how did he survive it?

Xiao Chong was still saying: "Back then you left a small wooden box for your subordinates and asked me to hand it over to the lord, saying that there was your wish in it - the lord has relied on it to survive all these years..”

Li Nuo's pair of water-cut black pupils opened slightly, because of shock, her clear eyes shone with tiny sparkles, and the little hands hanging by her side unconsciously grabbed the corners of her clothes.

Survive on it...

Fu Chenhuan...why is he so stupid?

It's not that she doesn't understand what Xiao Chong said.

Even at that time, she was worried that Fu Chenhuan might commit suicide, so she locked the safety lock.

But she never expected that Fu Chenhuan would go to this extent: not because of the possibility of committing suicide, but because of that absurd little wooden box, he was able to hold his breath and survive.

It turned out that she had never understood him.

She only knew that she had done a redemption mission, and only knew that his love was worth the blackening value, but she didn't know that he had a heart.

Li Nuo felt his head was about to explode, and his eyes were slightly sore: "These things...he never told me, since we reunited, he hasn't mentioned it..."

Xiao Chong shook his head: "The lord's temper, no matter how troublesome he is, how could he bring it up?"

He licked his chapped lips, as if he had made up his mind, and said in a low voice: "Girl, it's not long since you met again, maybe you haven't understood Wang Ye's mind like before, he always only knows how to do things, but doesn't know how to talk.But these years, he has endured too much, if no one speaks for him, he will never speak up for himself. The subordinates can't help... to speak for the prince. "

Li Nuo: "Tell me carefully, don't miss anything."

"Yes." Xiao Chong thought for a while, and said first, "Girl, the lord has very few confidantes, Yun Lang is frank and honest, but his thoughts are not careful; although Mr. Duan has some old friends with him, he is too chic and has never been vulgar.If you get stuck in something, you won't care about it. Although the subordinate is stupid, but he has been with the prince for many years, and his mind is clear to the subordinate."

Xiao Chong took a deep look at Li Nuo and pursed his lips, "About back then, Miss, you mentioned something when you were in love with the prince, so the prince always thought that the wish you put in the wooden box was to help the Xia Dynasty. So all these years, He has spent all his time thinking about his day and night, not trying to climb up by any means as the world thinks, but wanting to create a peaceful and prosperous world and fulfill your wish. As a gift, I will see you as soon as possible."

Li Nuo murmured: "... see me?"

Her voice was too low, even Xiao Chong didn't hear it, and she still said in a deep voice: "Even the prince tolerated Ying Xiehan until now, not only because of your request, but also because of his ability to govern the world and his loyalty to the Li family.As far as His Majesty is concerned, he is indeed a teacher who can assist him to become a Mingjun. The new dynasty has only just risen, and a lot of waste is waiting to be rejuvenated. Your Majesty needs a guide, but the prince has no energy and is unwilling to train His Majesty himself. Therefore,He has always turned a blind eye to Xie Han."

Li Nuo was speechless, and everything he didn't understand made sense—she didn't know so many details, and he kept everything in his heart, and only gave her all his tender love.

She had difficulty breathing as if her heart was clenched tightly, and she asked with difficulty: "Then he...then has he ever hurt himself in these years..."

She was afraid of hearing Xiao Chong's definite answer, but his answer was more heartbreaking than she imagined.

Xiao Chong said: "It depends on how you define it. In fact, he has died since six years ago. His heart and soul no longer exist. It is only because of this thought that he has been lingering until now.After your dynasty has taken on a new look, it can be presented as a gift to see you."

"He never stopped thinking about it."

With a "boom", the last string in Li Nuo's brain broke completely.

She glanced at Xiao Chong in a daze: "He has always had a death wish, and it hasn't changed... He just wants to fulfill the so-called my wish..."

Xiao Chong nodded heavily: "Yes."

Immediately, he smiled gratifiedly, "But right now, there is no need to worry about this matter. You are safe and sound, and the prince will not do stupid things again."

Li Nuo's big black and white eyes blinked lightly, feeling extremely sad.

It is so...

It is so!

So far, she has nothing to understand.

No wonder he supported Li Xuanjing as emperor, because he never cared about power, it was only for her;

No wonder he, the regent, was so contradictory, because he didn't want to be famous forever or be famous in history books, but purely wanted to make this country better, even with his own reputation;

No wonder I looked at the historical records and always felt that he had done so ruthlessly. If he had taken it slowly, he might not have received so much infamy. Who would understand that he was just too anxious and wanted to find her sooner...

Li Nuo closed his eyes.

It's ridiculous, she and Chuanshuju are both too ridiculous and ridiculous.

Xiao Chong watched Li Nuo's silence for a long time, saw her face turned pale, and secretly regretted whether he had said too much, "Girl, I'm really sorry, my subordinates shouldn't have said these things, but I definitely didn't mean to let youI feel uncomfortable, but I just hope that you... feel sorry for the prince a lot."

Li Nuo took a deep breath and smiled at him: "I know, I'm glad you told me these things. I know what to do in the future."

She opened her lips slightly, and said in a low voice, as if she was speaking to Xiao Chong or to herself: "I will be good to him, I will be very good to him."

The moon is on the branches, and the night is getting darker.

These days, Li Nuo has gotten used to waiting for Fu Chenhuan to go to sleep after meeting him.When don't see him, always feel empty in heart.

If he really came back too late, she would fall asleep when she was too sleepy, but today was different.

No matter how late, she wanted to see him very much today.

Li Nuo poured himself a cup of strong tea, the hot air floated up and blurred his eyebrows and eyes, just as he was putting down the teapot, a voice popped out of his head suddenly:

"How could you lock me up for so long?!"

Li Nuo's expression didn't change, he gently put the teapot down, just wondering: "Why did you come out all of a sudden?"

The system is about to explode: "Because I used a special application, do you know? I'm just a small system, not as powerful as your team leader. I only have one special application for each task, so I use it up like this."!"

In contrast, Li Nuo was extremely calm, and even let out a thoughtful "hmm".

"You are still so understated?! Li! Nuo! Do you know why I was so anxious to come out to talk to you even after using up the special application? You lied that day! Me! Do you know that your current situation is very serious?danger-"

Li Nuo said, "I know everything."

She confessed so frankly, but the system's fierce roar was stopped at once, and she was so angry that she didn't know what to say.

After a while: "You said you knew everything? You... what do you know? Can you still say that you are not interested, I will report to—"

Li Nuo said: "Calm down, and don't report to Old Meng. You also said that I am the team leader and have more authority than you. I don't want your report to be handed over. You can't hand it over. Besides, Old MengAfter he found out, he could only contact me to persuade me, and he couldn't directly bring me up. Of course, I didn't mean to annoy you by saying this, and I know that you are anxious for my own good. "

She admitted generously, "You are my system, more like my friend, and the only connection between me and my original world. Xiao Shi, don't get excited, don't be angry, I have to tell you——I like Fu Chenhuan, I want to be with him."

The system did not speak for a long time.

Li Nuo was not in a hurry, and quietly waited for its reaction.

When the system spoke again, it was much calmer than before.

It said very calmly: "You are really crazy."

Li Nuo denied: "I don't think so."

The system asked back: "Don't you think? I was calmly waiting for you to speak, and finally you said this to me? You clearly know what you are here for, and you clearly know what fate Fu Chenhuan should have.Everyone understands - if you can't complete the task, what will happen to you!"

Li Nuo lowered his head and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Xiao Shi, do you know," Li Nuo's eyes drifted away, his tone suddenly changed, "What you said is correct, but I didn't come here originally."

"Originally, Fu Chenhuan would go to his destined end at his appointed time, and he would die. Originally, I didn't have to accept this task, and lived my life in bookstores and worlds with peace of mind."

The system doesn't understand: "What did you say?"

Li Nuo said to himself: "You don't know. Fu Chenhuan has already planned to take care of this dynasty, delegate power to Prince, and then commit suicide by himself."

This time, the same words, the system's tone was a bit stagnant: "——what did you say?"

Li Nuo didn't answer, she raised her hand and rubbed her stuffy chest.

——One day in her world is converted into one year here, so I waited one more day... One day later, this world will reach the seventh year, and the court will be more stable. At that time, Fu Chenhuan will hand over the imperial power. After his death, this bookThe plot of the book will slowly return to the right track and proceed step by step without human intervention.

She and Chuanshuju obviously only need to do nothing, and the ending they want will be perfectly achieved by themselves.

But she came anyway.

She had come to kill him.

Li Nuo rested his forehead with one hand and laughed softly.

The system was a little worried: "Hey you, what's wrong with you?"

Li Nuo slowly put down his hand, his gaze was firmer than ever before: "Fortunately, I'm here."

She said, "It's only one day away, but luckily... I'm still here."

The system understood it, and felt even more panicked: "If you think so now, then..."

"It's too bullying, it's really too bullying," Li Nuo bit his lower lip, his tear-filled eyes were as fierce and angry as a young animal, "How could you bully him like this?! I tell you, I don't! Do it!!!"

The system has never seen Li Nuo like this. Whether she is in danger or she feels guilty, she can keep calm at every moment and maintain the professional standards she should have. She has never been so excited.

It didn't want to irritate her, so it said cautiously in a gentle tone: "Sister, I can understand you, and I can try to understand your mood. But please think seriously and responsibly, can you love Fu Chenhuan?What is he? He is not from the same world as you! If there is a man who treats you so well in our world, I will be happy for you and will definitely bless you. But at this moment, if I don’t persuade youIf you turn your back on the shore, it will hurt you."

What it said was reasonable, Li Nuo also listened to it.

However, she stretched out her hand and wiped the fine tears in her eyes, and smiled: "I know all of this, Xiao Shi, I have never forgotten it."

"I said I want to be with Fu Chenhuan, not the kind of crazy and desperate time you imagined just staying with him for a year. Why did I choose such a tragic and short love? What I want is to be together, to grow old together,It is to stay together for a lifetime."

"For this point, I already have a general idea."

The system had no choice but to forcefully say, "Speak, I'll listen."

Facing this system, Li Nuo thought for a while, and decided to tell the whole story: "To be honest, I actually thought about whether I should pull you out to discuss it at first. I didn't want to tell you the truth. ButYou are my system, everything about me and the data of this world are tested by you, sooner or later I will not be able to hide it from you, and it would be more troublesome if I was discovered later, why don't I have a showdown with you now."

She is very serious, "I have thought about it, in order to keep this world, Fu Chenhuan must die, but it is not the literal 'death'. I plan to change a concept here, so that everyone in this world thinks he is dead——then he is dead? But in fact, he survived with another identity.”

"As long as this world doesn't collapse, Fu Chenhuan's 'death' is in everyone's perception. Then the main system can't detect it, and my mission will be completed. At that time, the plot will be locked, everything will be settled, and going through the bookstore will no longer be possible.If we intervene in this world, the two of us can live here in peace and stability for the rest of our lives."

The system froze for a full minute.

After a while, the system's hesitant voice sounded in his head, and even called her name: "Li Nuo, do you know how difficult your ridiculous idea is?"

"Know."

"You want Fu Chenhuan to fake his death and hide it from everyone, everyone—even himself. Of course, if you tell Fu Chenhuan that you need him to fake his death once, because of his love for you, as long as you don't want to say it, he probably won'tAsk the reason, this matter will become very simple. But you must never let him know, because he is the target of our strategy. If he knows your wishes, plans to fake death himself, or knows in advance that he will die,In fact, the meaning of 'fake death' is different. It can be detected by the bookstore that once the characters have ideas that are completely out of the plot and out of character, this is the most classic plot collapse, and the consequences are disastrous."

"yes."

"It was very difficult to really kill Fu Chenhuan in the first place. Now you not only have to kill him in front of the world, but also secretly keep him. This kind of difficulty is simply beyond what you and I can accomplish."

Li Nuo said, "If you don't give it a try, how will you know you won't be able to finish it?"

The system finally collapsed: "You, you, why don't you get in? This is absolutely whimsical... Your idea is simply impossible! It won't work!"

Li Nuo's expression was very calm.After thinking for a while, she inserted a topic: "You said before that you specialize in emotional missions. This is a high-risk mission. Three out of ten will fall into it. How do those people deal with this situation?"

As soon as I talked about this, the system gushed: "You've got the point, let me tell you, no one has a happy ending, no couple has a happy ending, because this is the most ridiculous thing! What else can I do?"Do? They can only beg me, beg to wear the bookstore, want to change the mission, change the goal, and desperately want to save their lover. But in the end? Either the mission fails, or they destroy themselves. Do you want me to watch you also set foot on this road?Is there no way back?"

Li Nuo didn't speak immediately.

She walked to the window, stretched out her hand and pushed the window open, the cool night wind was blowing on her face, blowing the fluffy hair on her forehead.Even after hearing what the system said, her heart was not very heavy.

"So you see, if you want something done well, better do it yourself . They didn't do something successful, probably because they pinned their hopes on others instead of doing it themselves. From the beginning, I didn'tPlease, I didn’t ask you to go through the bookstore, I won’t embarrass you, I’m different from them.”

The system said with difficulty: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Of course Li Nuo knew: "I will still do this task, and I will complete the ultimate goal. This is also the path I have to take. However, going through the bookstore wants Fu Chenhuan to die, but I want him to live.When there is a collision, I want to take the third way to accomplish each other's goals, isn't that okay?"

"...In theory, yes."

Li Nuo smiled, her eyes were round and innocent, and when she smiled like this, it seemed that all hope was concentrated in her eyes: "I'm neither crazy nor bad, since I've already been tempted, there's no turning backI just want to try my best to find a good ending for myself, and I can’t just conclude that this road is impossible and unfeasible without even giving it a try.”

When she said this, the system didn't know how to persuade her: she knew everything, she didn't need to teach her, and what she said made sense, and it had no fulcrum to refute.

Seeing the silence of the system, Li Nuo finally concluded:

"Now you have two choices: do it or don't do it, it doesn't matter. However, you choose yours, and I have determined my own way. The difference between the two is-if you do it with me,It can help me a lot, and my chances of success are higher; if you don’t want to, I won’t force you, and I will shut you down permanently from now on, anyway, your authority is lower than mine, and there is nothing you can do about me.”

The system was angry: "Aren't you threatening me?!"

"I didn't threaten you. You are not human. Threats are not threats," Li Nuo said innocently and ruthlessly, "I just want to tell you about my next plan and ask if you are willing to join. If you don't, I willI'm afraid you will affect me."

The system resented very much: "You are so inhuman, you said I was a friend at the beginning, now I am not a human??? Who are you, you are, I have a humanized design concept anyway!"

"So you decide quickly, do you need some time to think about it?"

The system paused for a moment, and then said viciously: "No need! I'll join!! I'm really speechless, what else can I do!"
