From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 100
Tears flooded her eyes, and Mei Linlang's heart ached to the extreme, but she was stubborn and would not bow her head: "Yes, although I, Mei Linlang, am willing to be lowly and depraved to follow you into the palace as a concubine, but I have my pride. Just like you worried, my surname is not Mei, and I also have the blood of the Mei family. The daughters of the Mei family are born with pride and will never beg others for anything. Similarly, I don’t need a little bit of yours Sympathy and charity, I disdain!"

Her body is hers, and her life is also hers. She decides whether to have children or not, and she also chooses how to live in this harem.

"You..." Seeing that she would rather die than submit, the emperor was so angry that he couldn't say a word. He walked around the table and came to her and said, "I said that the person who gave you the Bizi Tang sent it to the wrong person. Originally... "

Before finishing speaking, she was interrupted by the excited Mei Linlang, who said with contempt in her eyes: "Who are you coaxing, the former Mei Linlang who is ignorant of the world and simple like a piece of white paper? Coaxing the one who believes in you Aren't you a stupid woman who trusts people unconditionally? She's dead, and you killed her when she drank that bowl of avoidance soup."

She raised her hand and patted her heart twice, Mei Linlang's heart was twisted like a knife and tears filled her eyelashes: "I, I, I have been in this harem for more than ten years, I know why you did that, I know clearly What are you afraid of? Isn't it because you don't want me to have a child? Isn't it because you are afraid that your son will have the blood of the Mei family? Isn't it because you are afraid that the Mei family will hold military power and cooperate with me to take over your Cheng family? Say it clearly, you say it clearly."

Stepping forward and hugging Mei Linlang into his arms, the emperor regretted and said, "Stop it, stop it. Linlang, stop it!"

The paper on the window was pierced, and the most hypocritical layer of skin on his body was mercilessly ripped off. The emperor knew that he was wrong.It was he who judged the heart of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, and it was his suspicion that hurt her.

Instinctively stretched out his hand to push him away, but he would not let go, no matter how hard she struggled, he just hugged her tightly.Heartbroken, she beat him hard, and beat his back again and again, and she said again: "Why don't you tell me, as long as you say a word, I will not hesitate to say it, let alone a decoction for avoiding children or a poison that kills you." Drink it. The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. You are afraid of the Mei family and why do you want me to follow you into the palace? Do you know what I lost? Do you know that I have completely humiliated the Mei family? "

The emperor was anxious, and blurted out: "I know, how could I not know, but why didn't you listen to my explanation, why didn't you believe my words, why are you so stubborn?"

Angry in his heart and having nothing to do with her, he couldn't help but shake her shoulder vigorously.

Like Mei Xin, Mei Linlang had practiced martial arts since childhood, and a clever effort shook his hand away.Ignoring the affection in his eyes, she took a step back and said, "I'm stubborn, did you just know today?"

"Have you ever thought that if I was not stubborn, how could I ask myself to leave the clan for you? If my ancestors of the Mei family hadn't been stubborn, how could they have died on the battlefield one after another. My father, my elder brother, they are all flesh and blood But for the people of Liangzhou, for you, for the Cheng family's foundation for thousands of years, they...they..." Mei Linlang couldn't take it anymore when talking about her father who died tragically and her elder brother whom she hadn't seen for many years.Her throat was choked up, and the tears in her eyes kept falling like broken beads.

Cheng Qingrui is not a heartless person, especially for his childhood sweetheart Mei Linlang, and if he had no affection at all, he would never let her stay in Luomei Palace willfully for eight years.So, seeing her crying sadly, he couldn't help but stepped forward again and wanted to hold her in his arms.

Mei Linlang dodged, raised her hand to wipe the tears off her face, and she continued: "The ancestors of the Mei family followed the Taizu to conquer the world, and there was an agreement at the beginning of the founding of the country. I didn't understand before, knowing that you gave me Bizitang I understood at the moment. The Mei family is the founder of the country, the hero who protects the country, and a loyal minister. If the daughter of the Mei family enters the harem, it will threaten the world of the Cheng family. Become a concubine. The Mei family has the pride of the Mei family, and they have never coveted the Cheng family's country. Cheng Qingrui, I was wrong, you were wrong, and we were all wrong. What childhood sweethearts, what young love, what life and death together But these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are not worth the calculations of people's hearts for fame and fortune."

"I drank safflower, hurt my body and killed off any heirs, so your heart is at ease. I have followed you, come to this day, and ended up like this. I, Mei Linlang, admit it." She raised her hand to cover the girl who wanted to cry Mei Linlang took a deep breath and wiped away the tears on her face again, saying: "I admit it, but Mei Xin can't. She was brought up by my elder brother, she is my elder brother's lifeblood, you can't touch her I know that the crown prince is your son, so it is impossible for you not to protect him, but I ask you to let Mei Xin off for the sake of my Mei family's loyalty to the Cheng family for generations. She should scatter her youth and blood on the battlefield. If she dies, she should die on the battlefield like the ancestors of the Mei family. Even if she is shrouded in horse leather, that is her life. Not in the Eastern Palace, no matter if she is a wife or a concubine. Jin, my eldest brother will not agree, let alone let her be with the Qingdeng Ancient Buddha for a lifetime. So...so..."

"Are you begging me?" Seeing that she was crying and shaking her head desperately, the emperor felt more and more sad, and couldn't help wondering if she would be willing to die in battle if she could do it all over again.

Shaking her head again, Mei Linlang replied without thinking, "No, I'm making a deal with you. I'll exchange my life for your promise."

Before the words fell, blood flowed from the corner of her mouth, and at the same time, the dagger in her hand cut her wrist.

The black blood flowed out, and the emperor felt that he was going crazy, but this was not what shocked and frightened him the most.The moment the dagger fell, the moment Mei Linlang fell down, he completely panicked.Instinctively rushing up to catch her, she shouted in panic, "Come on, come on, pass on to the imperial physician, quickly pass on to the imperial physician."

"Lin Lang, don't scare me, you can't do this. It is a serious crime for a concubine to kill herself. It is to implicate her family and to punish the nine clans. You can't leave me, you can't leave me." Her hands trembled uncontrollably , the emperor was terrified at this moment.

He has always known that Mei Linlang has a strong temper, but he never thought that she would harm herself.

Self-mutilation is a sign of cowardice, and it is a stupid thing that incompetent people would do.And she is the radiant sun, she is a brave and fearless warrior, she has never been afraid in the face of thousands of troops, she will never choose such a way of death.
