Concubine comes to disaster

Not long after, the streets and alleys began to spread the explosive news, saying that Ming Huan'er, the daughter of Ming Chancellor Ming Kui'an, offended the little princess of the Fourth Prince's Mansion, and was finally forced to hang a plaque on his back. , Kowtowed three times at a step, and kowtowed all the way to the fourth prince's mansion. Along the way, he passed out several times, but he dared not stop kneeling.

Many people gathered around to watch.

This time, Ming Huan'er lost all the face of Ming Xiang's mansion, Ming Xiang couldn't lift his head anymore.

Ming Kui'an's old face showed a resentful expression, "The third generation Zhongliang of the truth is treated like this by the cold-faced fourth king of Yanluo today, and the shame of the truth is lost. The truth must go to the empress to ask for it." Go to justice! No matter how bad it is, Truth will join forces with the Second Prince, Third Prince, and Sixth Prince to bring him down again!"

"Fourth Master, where are we...going to?" After leaving Mingxiang Mansion, Qi Luo was taken back to the palace by Luo Nian, Zhu Minglie let Liusu stay behind, and they didn't take a carriage, the two just walked like this Walking, walking, walking, walking...

After walking for a long time, Zhu Minglie didn't speak.

Liu Su followed beside him, feeling that the sycophantic man just now had disappeared, and at this moment, his back was a little... lonely.

What kind of grief is hidden in his heart?

"Follow me to an important place." Zhu Minglie turned around and said, "I haven't been there for a long time, and I'm thinking about it."

"En." Liusu saw that his expression seemed to be extraordinarily dignified, so he didn't ask any more questions, just followed him like this, and kept walking.

The roadside scenery began to become barren, and the shady green trees disappeared, replaced by sparse, almost withered, few trees.

Compared with the bustling Yaojing City, this place is far behind.

barren,

desolate,

bleak,

Finally, Zhu Minglie finally stopped at a dilapidated tea stand with no one before and no shop behind.

A dilapidated word "tea" was written on a worn and yellowed white step.

As soon as Zhu Minglie arrived, an elder with a hunched back and gray hair greeted him——

"My lord, you're here. It's been a long time since you came this time." The old man at the tea stall seemed to know Zhu Minglie, but he didn't know his true identity.

When he saw that the person accompanying Zhu Minglie was not the young master's bodyguard this time, but a woman, he immediately took a few more glances at Tassel.

Liusu smiled kindly at him, and he also nodded towards Liusu.

"Same as usual." As he said, Zhu Minglie took out a silver coin from his bosom and handed it to the old man.

The old uncle didn't say anything, just took the money and went into the hut.

Zhu Minglie took the lead to sit down at the tea stall, and after Liusu looked at it, he also sat down.

How did he come to this barren place?Has anything happened here that he will never forget?Liusu's mind is full of doubts, but she is not easy to ask, and she dare not easily inquire into the dark inner world.

"Young master, here you come. Please use it slowly." After a while, the old man came out with a teapot, two cups, and two flatbreads, put them on the low table, and then went in again, opening up the space. Leave it to the two of them.

The two sat for a long time without any customers coming, and Zhu Minglie seemed to be reminiscing about something.

"Does this tea stand exist for you?" Liusu finally asked his doubts, but he didn't dare to ask too much detail, for fear of touching things deep in his heart that he didn't want to mention.

"Yes, this is the last place where she and I parted." Zhu Minglie said, picked up the big cake in front of him, and looked at it.

"Her? Who is she?" Tassel asked.

"I haven't seen her for many, many years, so long that I'm afraid that she has forgotten what I look like."

"Fourth master... you mean that... that woman in Jinse Palace?" Liusu thought of the deep and sad back of Zhu Minglie in front of Jinse Palace, he gave people the same feeling now as it did then.

Zhu Minglie looked up at her, Liusu was taken aback, and quickly explained, "I, I, I was just guessing."

Zhu Minglie picked up the big cake and took a bite, and said, "I miss her too."

"I miss her, why don't you go see her?" Liusu also picked up a steamed bun, and took a bite -- "Well, it's so... delicious, I like to eat this kind of hard, chewy pancake the most." gone."

"It's not just that I can see you when I meet you." Zhu Minglie said indifferently, seemingly indifferent, but Liusu could hear his shallow... helplessness.

"Actually, fourth master, you don't have to worry because you will forget her if you haven't seen her for many years." Liusu said, putting down the big cake in her hand, "Some people, who have never seen her at once, have been remembered by me for so many years." It's gone." She lowered her head.

Zhu Minglie said that she is not allowed to mention what happened six years ago, so she can only say so euphemistically, but she still feels a little disappointed in her heart, "I know, you don't want to mention it again, and I won't mention it again in the future." I will never mention it again, and I will not remember the things you don’t want to remember. Who knew that it was so important... huh..."

Liusu said, picked up the tea bowl in his hand, and took a sip of tea.

Zhu Minglie stretched out his hand, stroked her forehead bangs aside, his thick fingertips stroked her forehead, eyelids, down her cheeks, and finally stayed on her lips.

"You're disappointed, aren't you?"
