Brocade clothing

Chapter 329
When Chu Qing stepped into the study, she saw the man sitting in the corner at first sight. He was sitting with his head bowed and his legs bent, and his whole body was covered with a layer of sadness.

The study was very dark, only a faint light came in, Chu Qing closed the door, and walked towards Lu Huan step by step.

She squatted down in front of Lu Huan, didn't say a word, just stayed so quietly.

I don't know how long it took before Lu Huan raised his head slowly. The eyes under the mask were scarlet and painful. After a long time, he said in a hoarse voice: "You are here..."

Chu Qing hummed: "Mr. Lu, I'm sorry to remind you of that old incident again."

Lu Huan shook his head: "No, I knew this day would come, but I just didn't want to think about it, maybe... these years, I lived too comfortably, and made me forget the nightmare past..." He Lowering his eyes again, he hugged his head in pain.

Chu Qingdao: "Although I know it's inappropriate to say this, I still want to invite you to the capital. You say I'm selfish or for the sake of the country, but if the Empress Dowager Liu doesn't get rid of it, and Liu Guofu doesn't fall, the Cangshu Kingdom will be afraid." There is no peace."

Empress Dowager Liu asked someone to build such a mausoleum, I'm afraid... I have already guessed the location of the other party, even if I didn't guess it, I am afraid that I will definitely get it, and I will definitely be buried with him.

So if Empress Dowager Liu can get rid of him, why not save him?

However, she is still unwilling to force the other party. This matter still needs to be figured out by the other party.

Lu Huan didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he said in a hoarse voice: "Let me tell you what happened back then..."

Chu Qing hummed, and didn't speak again, quietly being a qualified listener.

Lu Huan said in a hoarse voice: "27 years ago, I went to the capital to take part in the imperial examination with my ambitions and ideals... I once imagined that I would stand in the court hall and be full of spirits, but I never thought... If I made a mistake, Everything changed the trajectory."

As soon as Hua Lun arrived in the capital, because he was quite famous in his hometown, after arriving in the capital, he made many friends and participated in many poetry clubs.

Back then, he had a particularly good relationship with Yao Zongping and several congenial sons. At that time, there were two sisters in the capital, but they all came from the Liu family. Concubine Lan, the latter has become the current Empress Dowager Liu.

Back then, he was too conceited, and he was very flamboyant. He was named the number one talented person in the capital city, and he was also the person most likely to be the number one scholar. A nightmare for the rest of his life.

The two daughters of the Liu family probably heard of his reputation and were very interested in the poetry meeting, so they came to listen to his debate... He didn't know it at the time, so after the end, when he turned around and was about to leave, they met The two daughters of the Liu family came down the steps one behind the other. At that time, a gust of wind blew past and rolled up the veil on Liu Mulan's head. He was dumbfounded at that moment.

Before meeting Liu Mulan, he thought that the beautiful words describing women in the book were all exaggerations, but after seeing it, he has been full of her heart and eyes so far...

It's just that the other party didn't care about him.

Only later did he know that the Liu family's concubine daughter was going to enter the palace in the future, and at that time, she had already connected with the current emperor.

He was frustrated, but he restrained himself and planned to bury this obsession in his heart, but at this moment...he suddenly received a letter, and the daughter of the Liu family invited him to meet.

Chu Qing was stunned when she heard this: "Concubine Lan asked you to meet?" But how is this possible?

Calculated according to the time, Concubine Lan had already started preparing to enter the palace at that time, how could she invite a foreigner to meet at this time?
Seeing the surprise in her eyes, Lu Huan smiled wryly: "I thought I was a gentleman at the time, but after all... I couldn't resist the longing in my heart. When I received the letter, I was ecstatic. After careful preparation ...and went to see the other party. It's just that I didn't expect..." Lu Huan smiled wryly.

"Just what?" Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat, suddenly thinking of Liu Deqian, she straightened her body suddenly, her face changed slightly, "The one who came was Empress Dowager Liu?"

Lu Huan hummed: "When I saw the person I was thinking of turning his head, it was a woman I didn't know. I was stunned for a long time, but the other party looked at me shyly, saying that she was Concubine Lan's concubine, He fell in love with me at first sight and asked if I would like to marry her? I was already angry at the time, annoyed that the other party made an appointment in the name of my sweetheart, but under disappointment, I upheld the style of a gentleman, and I was very dismissive of the other party's unreserved words Gu, therefore, sternly reprimanded and rejected the other party."

Lu Huan shook his head with a wry smile, "But I didn't expect...she would be so unwilling after being rejected."

Chu Qing squatted in front of him, looked at the pain in the other's eyes, couldn't help clenching her hands on her knees: "What did she do afterwards?"

Lu Huan said: "I didn't expect that she was so extreme. A few days after I rejected her, I went back after a poetry meeting, but was kidnapped and kidnapped... When I woke up, I found myself in a room Here, her hands and feet are bound, and sitting not far away is... her."

Chu Qing opened her mouth, and she could almost guess it later, she wanted to persuade her to say something, but she opened her mouth, but she couldn't say a single word.

Lu Huan took a deep breath: "What happened later... You probably guessed it. She expressed her heart to me again. I was annoyed that the other party was so insulting and disrespectful, so I rejected the other party again. But I didn't expect that the other party came this time... He didn't intend to do it at all. Give up easily, she fed me that kind of medicine... When I was unconscious, I became husband and wife with her... "

Lu Huan held his head, thinking of the panic when he woke up and the sinister look in the other party's shy eyes, he still feels chills in his heart.

Chu Qing took a deep breath, and after her complexion changed several times, she asked in a hoarse voice: "Then you and her..."

Lu Huan shook his head: "How could I agree? The other party forced me, which was a huge blow to me. She said she would marry me, that she was mine, and insisted on forcing me to go to the Liu family to propose marriage. But at that time... there was someone in my heart, and I was even more disdainful of the other party's actions. She was arrogant and sternly refused. Later, she imprisoned me like this for a few days. Telling this incident ruined my reputation. I was probably also stimulated at the time, and I bumped my head against the wall to prove my ambition by death. Even if I die, I will never marry her..."

Thinking of this and what happened next, Lu Huan still felt trembling all over at this moment.

Chu Qing looked at the other party's appearance, and was startled in his heart: "What did she... do later?"

Since the other party is fine now, it should be that Empress Dowager Liu did not kill her back then, and there was never any rumors about the beauty between the two, but the other party...why did he suddenly leave the capital incognito, and even did not participate in the imperial examination back then.

Lu Huan raised his arms to block his eyes: "...she, she sees that I would rather die than marry her, it's...it's..." Lu Huan was probably ashamed to speak, and he said in a hoarse voice for a long time: "She found someone to torture me."

There was a chill in Chu Qing's heart: "Use... punishment? What punishment?"

Lu Huan buried his head in his knees, and it took him a long time to hoarse his voice, and said very slowly: "Gong... Xing."

Chu Qing stood up abruptly, took a breath, and took a step back in disbelief: "Is she crazy?!"

Lu Huan shook his head bitterly and didn't speak for a long time.

Chu Qing's heart felt cold, although she knew that Empress Dowager Liu was cruel, but unexpectedly, because she couldn't get her, she did not hesitate to castrate her.

Castration means castration for men and claustrophobia for women...

Empress Dowager Liu... really is cruel!
It completely ruined him.

No wonder he suddenly left the capital back then. For a man, there was nothing more humiliating than this, and the blow was probably indescribable.

Lu Huan buried his head for a long time before continuing in a hoarse voice: "...Later, after I was able to walk, I ran away from the capital without saying anything. To keep me by my side, I did not hesitate to conceal my name and hid. Later... I heard that my lord knew about that incident from some unknown source. I won the top three and was sent to Yuanhe Town as a small county magistrate. I felt guilty, so I could only come to Yuanhe Town secretly. Here. You also know what happened afterwards... Empress Dowager Liu found Your Excellency and wanted to press for my whereabouts, even... She didn't hesitate to lose the county government to force him to submit. I happened to pass by at that time and saved Your Excellency... ...I'm afraid you all know what happened later."

Lu Huan's voice was hoarse and he couldn't continue.

Chu Qing stood there, feeling cold all over, and didn't speak for a long time.

Lu Huan lowered his eyes: "Mrs. Xiao... so and so, how can you go back to the capital if you let me? Even if you want to go back, but... what about my lord? It doesn't matter if I die, but I don't want... to implicate more people gone."

Chu Qing smiled wryly, and after a long time, she sighed softly: "Although I know it's cruel to say that, I still owe you an apology, but there are some things... I still want to tell you, do you know the recent mausoleum incident?"

Lu Huan was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, "...I know, it is said that in order to build a mausoleum, some people did not hesitate to kill wealthy businessmen and became slaves, and many people died."

This incident spread throughout Cangshu Kingdom and became a big case.

Chu Qing opened her mouth, feeling a little hoarse, and felt that she was really cruel, but she took a deep breath, and said it out: "The person behind the scenes...has been found out, it is, Queen Mother Liu. She... I will be buried with you."

After Chu Qing finished speaking, Lu Huan suddenly squatted on the ground and didn't say a word for a long time.

Chu Qing took a deep breath: "I'm afraid she... already knows where you are. Mr. Lu, please think about it. If the Empress Dowager Liu is not removed, there will never be peace."
