Acacia, don't be negative

Chapter 439
Li Ruyi said: "The concubine begs the emperor to forgive Ruixiang, if the emperor does not agree, the concubine will not be able to kneel down. Ruixiang is already the only person left beside the concubine, please ask the emperor not to take her away?"

"Okay." Su Ruoqing's voice reached Li Ruyi's ears peacefully. Li Ruyi's eyes trembled, thinking that she was hallucinating.

Su Ruoqing agreed to her so easily, and was willing to forgive a person who wanted to kill him just a moment ago.

If it had been before, she would have been ecstatic and thought that she was blessed by the grace and grace of the king.Today, those are just fleeting flashy, false appearances.

Li Ruyi slowed down, and said: "Then, that concubine will take it on her behalf."

Su Ruoqing said: "No need, I heard that your health is not good recently, stop kneeling, get up and go back to rest."

After a long time, Li Ruyi closed her eyes lightly, quietly shed a tear on the back of her hand, and replied: "The concubine obeys the order."

It's just that Li Ruyi said so, but he didn't leave for a long time.The supper on the table had been removed by the palace servants. Su Ruoqing was just picking up the official document for review, and then put it down after a while. He raised his eyes and landed on Li Ruyi indifferently, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Li Ruyi came back to her senses, only to realize that she had been looking at him all the time, she quickly lowered her head, and wiped away the tears all over her face as if nothing had happened.

No big deal.It's just that after such a long time, seeing him again seems like yesterday, but it seems like many, many years have passed.There was no change in his appearance, but she wanted to take a second look.

Who knows, after meeting this time, when will the next meeting be?I have to remember his appearance deeply, and I can use it to think about him when I am alone.

He is the emperor, and he has many, many frustrations.He is the Ninth Five-Year Lord, and even though he ruined his family, she did her best and no matter how hard she tried, she didn't hate him as much as she imagined.

It was only later that Li Ruyi realized that her father, Li Xiang, had indeed done something wrong.And the reason why she can live to this day is also thanks to him.

Perhaps, her feelings for Su Ruoqing are like Su Ruoqing's being the emperor, with many, many helplessness.The feelings that have been given are like water that is poured out, and it is hard to get back when the water is overwhelmed, so she can't stop it either.After all, love him more than hate him.

Li Ruyi tried to calm down as much as possible, and said: "Dare to ask the emperor, can the concubine go to pick Ruixiang back to Ruyi Palace?"

Su Ruoqing lowered her head again, continued to be busy with the things in hand, and said lightly: "Yes, I will let Guiji take you there later."

Only then did Li Ruyi stand up slowly, and blessed Su Ruoqing, even though he couldn't see it at all, and said, "My concubine, thank you Lord Long En."

Li Ruyi took two steps, turned her head, opened her mouth, and finally asked what she wanted to ask the most in her heart: "Just now, did Ruixiang hurt the emperor?"

Su Ruoqing said: "She doesn't have that ability yet."

Li Ruyi breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "It's more serious, and I hope the emperor will take care of the dragon's body, and don't overwork. The concubine will retire."

After finishing speaking, Li Ruyi never looked back and left the imperial study room.Gui already took her to the Ministry of Criminal Justice to take Ruixiang away.

The fact that Ruixiang assassinated the emperor in desperation did not spread, and Ruixiang was temporarily taken to the criminal department. The people in the criminal department didn't know what wrong she had done, but seeing that she was the aunt of Ruyi Palace, they gave her a little bit of embarrassment and did not embarrass her she.

When Li Ruyi went there, Ruixiang immediately cried into tears when she saw her.Li Ruyi reprimanded her severely in front of Guiji, and then took her away.

After returning to Ruyi Palace, Ruixiang immediately knelt down to Li Ruyi to admit her mistake.Li Ruyi said sadly, "Why did you do such a stupid thing?"

Ruixiang never thought that Su Ruoqing would not pursue her fault at all, and let her go so easily.She did it with the determination to die, so she said: "Go back to your mother, the slaves are just angry, the emperor caused your mother to lose her home, and she lives alone in this wishful palace. But this wishful palace is deserted all day long What is the difference between you and Leng Gong. People in the palace call you Leng Gong empress in private... The emperor hasn't come to see empress for so long, and he doesn't even have the slightest bit of shame or remorse. This servant hates his ruthlessness!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Ruyi looked annoyed, and raised his sleeve to sweep Ruixiang's face, and slapped Ruixiang across the face.Ruixiang's voice stopped abruptly, and she reached out to cover the side of her face.

Li Ruyi said with some heartache: "I have never hit you, because I think you are a girl who knows how to measure. You used to be by my side and helped me a lot. Now, how can you be so reckless? If it weren't for the emperor's kindness, you would have to bear the blame even if you died a hundred times! Up to now, don't you admit your mistake? Whether it's Lenggong empress or Shenggong empress, you've already reached this point, so what's the point? Others If you want to say it, let them talk it over, what are you capable of?" After a pause, he knelt down in front of Ruixiang, his voice softened, without any trace of his usual domineering, and he said, "Do you know, if You also left me, and then I became truly alone."

"Niangniang..." Ruixiang couldn't help feeling sad when she heard the words, she raised her head and looked at Li Ruyi with blurred eyes, and couldn't help crying anymore, sobbing, "But, I don't want to see my mother suffering like this, so I frown during the day , I can’t sleep at night, although I don’t say it, but the empress is always thinking about the emperor but refuses to meet. If the slaves don’t do this, how can you be willing to go out of Ruyi Palace to meet the emperor? "

Li Ruyi's eyes were mournful, and there were faint tears.The reason why Ruixiang did that was because of her.

Ruixiang continued to cry miserably: "Now the emperor is only with the empress, so Ye Song can no longer compete with the empress for anything, but why is the empress unwilling to take another step forward? Obviously happiness is within reach Got it!"

"Happiness is at your fingertips?" Li Ruyi laughed miserably when she heard the words, "Although no one is fighting for it, I'm not the one who wins. I thought that the relationship is to be divided into winners and losers, but then I realized I was wrong. Forget it, those are not important anymore." She looked at Ruixiang, "Just don't do stupid things again in the future."

In the end, Li Ruyi and Ruixiang hugged each other and wept.

Li Ruyi knew very well that she would never be able to take the place of that person in Su Ruoqing's heart in her life.

It will take several days for the troops sent back from the north to arrive at Shangjing after the imperial decree is passed on to the general.It will take more than half a month to go south again.

Su Chen was very anxious, he couldn't wait that long, he wished he could grow a pair of wings and rush south overnight.

Su Ruoqing was also afraid that Ye Song would not be able to hold on, so he summoned the only [-] imperial forest troops in Shangjing overnight, led by Su Chen to go south first, followed by the northern troops.This action was opposed by the ministers of the DPRK and China, and they all knelt on the ground outside the imperial study.

The [-] Imperial Forest Army in Beijing has always shouldered the heavy responsibility of defending the imperial city.Once it is withdrawn at this time, it is equivalent to the entire palace being unguarded.Once there is any change, the attack on the palace is bound to be like a broken bamboo without the power to fight back.

At that time, Su Ruoqing was standing at the door of the Imperial Study Room with his hands behind his back, his black robe fluttering in the wind, his cold eyes swept across the officials, and said: "If the frontier is not guaranteed, how can we talk about defending the capital?"

A minister came and said, "Your Majesty, the virtuous king is the undefeated God of War in the Northern Xia Dynasty, and the ever-victorious general is brave and good at fighting. If he delays the enemy army for a few days, it will definitely not be a problem. But if the emperor transfers the Imperial Forest Army, the entire imperial city will be in turmoil." It's in dire straits!"

Su Ruoqing said: "I have made up my mind, there is no need to discuss this matter again."

The ministers shouted: "Please think twice, Your Majesty—"

Su Ruoqing's voice was clear and imposing, and he said: "All lovers who want to kneel and beg me to change their minds should go to the open-air outer hall and kneel. Even if they kneel until they die, I will not change their minds. Pass on my will, and the third prince will leave immediately. , leading the [-] Imperial Forest Army to the south!"

After finishing speaking, he turned and went into the imperial study room, and the palace guards closed the door strictly.

As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones.When Su Chen was sent back to Beijing that day, he ran around on the way, his injuries recurred, and the wounds were festering and pus-feeding, his muscles and bones were also severely damaged, he almost had only a few breaths left to hold his breath.

The imperial doctors of the imperial hospital never closed their eyes day and night, and it took two days and one night to work together to pull Su Chen back from the gate of hell.

It's just that Su Chen has a very irritable temper, and he always thinks about Ye Song, for fear that something will happen to her in the south, the battlefield is ruthless, if something really happens to Ye Song and he is not by his side, he will regret it for the rest of his life.

So, as soon as the injury eased a little, Su Chen thought about getting out of bed, and then went all the way to find Ye Song.

The imperial physicians of the imperial hospital often dragged Su Chen back from the outside, so his situation repeated.On several occasions, he stole the horse from the palace, and rode out of the city when no one was prepared, and Guiji went to bring him back in person. At that time, because he could not control his body well, he fell off the horse. , broke his leg.Gui Ji found him on the side of the road.

At that time, Guiji said: "If the prince really wants to help the second lady, he should take care of his body as soon as possible, instead of thinking about running away every day or two. If the prince looks like this, even if he goes there, dare to ask How can I help you, are you sure it's not helping the Xian King and the second lady by causing trouble?"

Su Chen stared at Gui Ji gloomyly, if he could walk and jump, he would definitely stand up and beat Gui Ji.Gui Ji's coffin face is really hateful, and he actually taught him a lesson.

However, after thinking about it, he was indeed right.

When Gui Ji carried Su Chen onto the horse, he said expressionlessly: "The only one who can help Second Miss here is the prince. The emperor also very much hopes that the prince's injury will recover as soon as possible, so go help him with what he can't do." So, the prince should stay in the imperial hospital and recover from his injuries before we talk about it."
