I said, "I will bear all the guilt in front of the royal father!"

Song Langsheng's expression suddenly became extremely ugly. Instead of being angry, he laughed, took a step back, and said, "Arrest the traitor and thief!"

The soldiers were about to step forward after receiving the order, and I said: "Who dares!"

Seeing that the soldiers were shaken, I said, "You have also heard about Ben Gong's wrists. Whoever dares to act in front of Ben Gong today, don't blame Ben Gong for not caring about his face!"

After all, Song Langsheng took office as a new official, and he was an official in Dali Temple before, but now his father and emperor have been appointed to him as soon as he wakes up. It is inevitable that his prestige has not been established. The most important thing is that these soldiers in the Chinese military camp are afraid of our country's prisoners. Status, under the power, they looked at each other, and no one dared to be the first person to offend me.

I said this just to let everyone see that it was my fault to let Nie Ran go, and it had nothing to do with the concubine. Let's see, today I will rectify this traitorous thief on the spot, what will the princess do to me!"

As soon as the words fell, his sword carried the momentum of the mountain and rain. I knew that Nie Ran at the moment was not his opponent at all. In a hurry, he grabbed the blade with his right hand and blocked his left arm in front of Nie Ran. , intending to block this attack. Song Langsheng didn't expect it, so he quickly retracted the sword, but the sharp blade had already cut through my palm, and blood dripped down my fingers and dripped to the ground. "You can't kill him."

Song Langsheng looked down at my hand, no longer advancing a single point, and did not dare to pull away, for fear that the blade would rub the wound deeper, his eyes fainted with grief and anger, and his voice was filled with disappointed questioning: " You are for him..."

The way he looked at me made me very sad. After so long, peace and joy finally came, and in an instant I would destroy it again. I didn't know how to explain it, but I opened and closed my lips a few times before I said, "Concubine, count it. I beg you, let him go, if he dies here, I am afraid that I will not feel at ease in this life."

A few rays of light rose from the eastern sky, but they failed to add a trace of blood to Song Langsheng's pale face. After a long stalemate, he suddenly let out a hoarse smile, "Okay, the princess treated him so kindly, I will make you all..."

I felt a chill in my heart, and he said coldly, "Let go!"

I let go of my trembling hand, and then I felt the pain in my palm and five fingers.

Nie Ran staggered and stepped forward to check my injury. I moved my hand away and said, "Don't worry. It's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Before Song Langsheng changes his mind, hurry up and leave." After saying this, I walked towards Before, he suddenly grabbed my arm from behind and said slowly, "You can't do this for Yanran's few words..."

He asked, "You...do you want to tell me anything else?"

Xu Fang's letter was still lying in his chest pocket, Zhao Yanran's words "Xu Fang never disappeared, he has always lived in Nie Ran's heart" still lingered in my ears, I thought I would have a lot to say. He said, but I didn't know what else to say when he was near.

That year, the promise made under the moonlight was warm and warm, followed by peace, wherever the wind went is my direction.

Now, my heart has long been filled by another person, Xu Fang is back, but the wind is gone.

I'm inexplicably thankful that he didn't restore Xu Fang's memory. Such a parting would not be too cruel to him and to me.

I closed my eyes and said, "Nie Ran, take care of yourself all the way. He will meet with the soldiers, so you don't need to stay with him any more."

Having said that, I broke away from him and chased after the shooting star in the direction of Song Langsheng's departure.

Xu Fang, this is the last thing I can do for you.

From now on, no goodbye.

—————————————— The second one! ! ! ——————————————————

On the way back to Beijing, Song Langsheng didn't say a word to me.

I tried to talk to him on my own initiative, but he didn't even give me a glance.

I know he is really angry. After I went back that night, I panted and said that my hands were about to be abolished and the blood was about to bleed. He turned a deaf ear and set off on his own, the Royal Horse's Life Brigade. In the end, I had to go to the military doctor myself to get the medicine. heartache.

Of course I can't say that what I did is right. After all, that is what I want to do. Saying goodbye to the past and letting go of entanglement is for a new beginning, but I was not able to get his understanding. I am actually very aggrieved. .

Another unhappy person along the way was Zhao Yanran.

We both sat in the same carriage, each sighing mournfully, who can understand the suffering of the other.

She said: "Princess, sometimes, I really can't see the road ahead, I can't see where I should go."

I said, "Yes."

She asked me, "Can I still meet someone who likes me and can put me into practice?"

I said, "I don't know."

Yan Ran squinted at me, "At such a time, shouldn't you comfort me and say 'Yes'?"

I smiled slightly, "Some things are not something we can have if we want to believe, but if we don't want to believe, we will get nothing."

She nodded thoughtfully and looked at me again, "Are you talking about me, or yourself?"

I was stunned for a while before I came back to my senses and asked her, "What did you ask me just now?"

she:"……"

Three days later, we returned to the capital, and as soon as we landed, we received a summons from our father to enter the temple.

The civil and military men of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the golden hall, and did not dare to come out. When we entered the palace, we only knew that Nie Guang, the Marquis of Xiayang, killed the Guiyang Dusi, and led his troops to capture Huguang at night, saying that the blood of the former Zhou emperor still exists. In the world, in the name of "Recovering the Great Zhou Dynasty", he rebelled.

What made the father even more angry was that the traitor who had already been captured allowed him to escape again, so Nie Guang was no longer afraid to kill such a surprise.

The father emperor is like a huge and old eagle, looking down at the overwhelming officials.

As soon as Song Langsheng entered the hall, he knelt down to accept the crime, saying that it was because he was not good at guarding on the way back that Nie Ran was rescued and left.

I was shocked. I didn't expect the concubine to rush ahead of me to take the blame. Looking at the face of the father, I was afraid that he would take anger on Song Langsheng, so I hurriedly knelt down beside him and said: "Father, in fact, everything has nothing to do with the concubine, yes. …”

A pain in the waist, Song Langsheng pinched me without leaving a trace, and whispered viciously in my ear: "Tell me a little longer, and ignore you again."

I was stunned, not knowing how to take the words, Song Langsheng had already kowtowed to the ground, telling the whole story of the crime without any flaws, and took all the guilt alone.

I stared at him in a daze, even though he had a thousand unwillingness in his heart, I said he would let him go, but he still let go; even though he was annoyed at me and refused to give me a good look, in the end he was still afraid that I would be hurt.

There was a burst of sourness in my nostrils, and I kowtowed heavily, but I could only say that there were a lot of people who betrayed the party, and there was nothing I could do to stop me.

At this time, Zhao Gengnian also knelt down and begged for qíng. When he knelt down, most of the civil and military officials of the whole court also knelt down. In the end, it was embarrassing for everyone else to stand. It would be an embarrassment to offend the chief minister of the cabinet and the princess of the country. The flow knelt down together.

It can be seen that the father and the emperor did not want to commit the crime to the concubine. After all, he was the person he used heavily. Besides, when several troops went to hunt down Nie Ran, only Song Langsheng was able to do it. He went down the steps and sighed that he would be punished with thirty military sticks according to the military law, which was considered a light punishment.

I thought it was over, but I didn't think my father had just said the first half of the sentence. I didn't have time to relax. The second half of the sentence mentioned Su Wei's capital, who sent troops to attack the traitors. Huo Chuanwei, the commander of the military department. General Zhengnan led an army of 300,000 troops, with the five army battalions, the three thousand battalions and the Shenji battalion as the main force, while Song Langsheng was named General Yunhui and went out with the army to atone for his crimes.

The father's words fell, and everyone took a deep breath. Even if Song Langsheng had made great achievements in the fight against the rebellion in the capital, he had never fought a real battle and had no experience in leading troops, so how could he directly seal a general? What about apprenticeship?

Seeing that the ministers were quite critical, the emperor asked in a deep voice, "Fangcai, who told me that Song Qing was a rare talent, and who told me that Song Qing was familiar with the enemy and should be kept for use? "

Everyone was speechless. It turned out that the father and the emperor went around in such a big circle to set a trap for all the ministers. They only said qíng for Song Langsheng a moment ago, and how could they overthrow the next moment? Your own shield?

The overall situation has been decided, no need to go into details.

Due to the critical situation of the battle, it could not be delayed. The emperor ordered the generals to order the troops, prepare the military supplies, and set off immediately after two days.

I was in a cold sweat.

After the 30th army stick, his skin must be ripped apart. Even the sharpest soldier must lie down for at least ten days. After two days, how will he go on an expedition on horseback?

While hesitating in his heart, Song Langsheng kowtowed respectfully and said, "The minister leads the order."

After retreating from the imperial court, Song Langsheng was taken away and punished. I was anxious and wanted to go with me, but I asked the emperor to stop him, saying that he had something to talk to me alone.

As soon as I entered the imperial study, I knelt down and said, "My son, I beg your father to stay with the emperor. If you really want your concubine to go out on an expedition, I will be tortured by this stick, as if you were going to kill half of his life on the battlefield."

The royal father stroked his beard and said, "Do you really think I don't know what happened to you in Qingzhou? If you hadn't insisted on letting Nie Ran go, why would your consort be involved here?"

My heart was terrified, and it seemed that nothing could escape my father's eyes. "Since my father knows the truth, he will punish the son. The son doesn't have to go into battle to kill the enemy. The thirty military sticks will be taken by the son."

The royal father shook his head and sighed: "Even if you block him, he will be to blame. Since the concubine is willing to take the blame for you, I can only fulfill him, otherwise how can I treat the officials..."

"Father..."

"No need to say more," the father said: "Xiangyi, this time, you are too confused. If I punish you, I am afraid that you will feel more at ease after you receive the punishment. It only falls on Song Langsheng. Only then will you know how much disaster you have committed..."

My throat tightened and I bit my lip involuntarily.

In fact, letting Nie Ran go is a gamble for me. Since Nie Guang’s rebellion is inevitable, no matter whether Nie Ran is there or not, it is impossible to stop the war. Nie Guang is cruel and cunning. If there is good intentions, Nie Guang obeys Nie Ran. For us, letting him go is not necessarily a bad thing.

But how can I explain these words to the royal father?

As soon as I returned to the Princess Mansion, I recruited the imperial physicians from the Imperial Hospital early and asked them to accompany me to wait for the concubine.

I don't know why it took a whole half a day to punish the 30 military sticks, but when the soldiers in the barracks brought Song Langsheng back, the back of his legs and above the knees were already covered in blood, and even the pieces of his clothes were smeared with blood. Was beaten into the skin.

When I saw the scars on his body, I felt distressed and regretful. I couldn't hold back the tears for a while and rushed forward to help him, "Consort..."

With his pale face, he said helplessly: "You invited so many imperial doctors to come to our house, I don't know, you thought I was dying from a terminal illness soon..." Seeing me still crying, he was rude Pressing my eyes with his sleeves, he turned his head to the imperial physicians, "Princess is making a fool of yourself, I am making everyone laugh..."

How dare those imperial physicians say anything, they hurriedly echoed and smiled, "Master Song is about to go on an expedition, this old man will definitely use the best medicine to make him heal quickly..."
