Luan and Phoenix Tribulation: A Concubine Becomes a Phoenix

Chapter 221 There Must Be Someone Who Gives Up First

On the day of Princess Mingzhao's wedding, tens of thousands of people emptied the alleys and filled the city with excitement, participating in the grand event of the peaceful coexistence of the two countries.Naturally, the common people came out of the street one after another, partly because they had a glimpse of Princess Mingzhao's beauty.

The emperor made the preparations for this marriage very properly and solemnly. The guard of honor of the Great Jin Kingdom was responsible for sending the princesses to the northern border of the Jin Dynasty.

Seeing the guard of honor slowly walk out of the gate of the capital, the emperor and empress all heaved a sigh of relief, and the matter finally came to an end.

The next step is to deal with the adultery between Su Lianru and Lan Le.The emperor was so angry that he turned around and issued an imperial decree to choose a son-in-law for the Seventh Princess Su Lianru.However, Su Zhengqin's case of human trafficking has come to an end. With Prince Su Yinli intervening in it, it is impossible for him to catch the real murderer behind the human trafficking in Lanlefang. He can only give the nominal owner of Lanlefang to Apprehended and brought to justice and dealt with according to the law.

Although Lan Le did not participate in it, he also committed the crime of not reporting what he knew.

After the imperial decree came down, Su Lianru refused to obey, but the officials took over Lan Le, sent Lan Le to the execution room, and beat him half to death in front of Su Lianru.

Su Lianru stood up and resisted, trying to hit the wall to commit suicide, but was stopped.She said viciously: "If you dare to touch him again, I will die in front of you and let you all be buried with me!"

"The Emperor is here—"

At this time, the emperor appeared in this filthy place in a bright yellow dragon robe. He looked down at Su Lianru, who was kneeling softly on the ground, and at the dying Lan Le tied to the stake, and said majesticly: "This person is Criminal, death is not a pity, as a princess, you should keep yourselves clean, looking for life and death for a mere sinner, without any awareness of being a princess! Do you think I will accommodate you in everything?"

He said to the guard who was holding Su Lianru in order to prevent her from committing suicide: "Let go of her, let her die if she wants to die, I will treat it as if I never had this daughter!"

He said to Su Lianru again: "It's just that if you die, I will hang Lan Le's life, so that he can't live without dying. He suffers from this flesh and blood every day, and even if he goes to the underworld, he won't be able to see you! "

Su Lianru raised her head, her eyes were filled with tears, her face was as thin as a stick, her eyes looked hollow and lifeless, and she said in despair: "Why on earth are you doing this to me...why are you all doing this to me..."

"As a princess of a country, you have lost all the face of the royal family. How dare you ask me why I treat you like this? In your life, it is impossible for you to abandon your status as a princess. Do you want to be with this humble actress?" It's even more impossible to be together! If you don't want him to suffer, just obediently follow me out of this cell, go back to be your princess, marry the consort I chose for you, and quickly end this farce, otherwise don't blame me ruthless!"

Su Lianru shook her head blindly, tears streaming down her face: "I don't want... I'm already his, I can't marry someone else..."

The emperor was furious, impatient, turned around and wanted to leave, and ordered: "Since you are obsessed with your obsession, then continue to beat me until he has only his last breath left!"

Before the jailer could do anything, Su Lianru completely lost her temper and watched Lan Le suffer. She would rather suffer herself.She immediately rushed forward, knelt on the ground and grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes, begging bitterly: "Father! Father, please! For the sake of my being your daughter, I beg you to help us!" Let's go! We really love each other! You can demote me to a commoner, and let me fend for myself. No matter what happens in the future, I will not regret it. I only hope that the father can fulfill us and let me be with him. No matter what happens in the next life I will repay you well if you are like a cow!"

The emperor's eyes were red with anger, and he kicked Su Lianru away, without a trace of emotion, he said: "You unfilial daughter, I have never seen you give your heart and soul to your father, mother and concubine like this, but now it is because of a man. Willing to abandon the parents who worked so hard to raise you, you are heartless to such an extent, I have raised you for nothing! I also clearly tell you that it is absolutely impossible! Whether it is life or death, you should think carefully about it!"

After the emperor left, Lan Le said to her weakly: "Lianru, you should obey the emperor's words... Is there any place in the world for the emperor, if you don't follow, there will be no place for you, and I, alone, No matter where you go..."

Su Lianru leaned over, hugged Lan Le's feet and wept bitterly, and said: "But we have already agreed, haven't we... You want to take me back to your hometown, and live a life of incognito, where men farm and women weave, don't you?" Do you want to abandon me now?"

"That's just a beautiful wish," Lan Le twitched the corners of his mouth and forced a forced smile. His hair was hanging down from both sides of his temples. He lowered his eyebrows and looked at Su Lianru at his feet. Rarely serious: "Actually, I knew from the very beginning that we would not be able to escape this high-rise imperial city."

"Then why do you still do this..." Su Lianru looked up at him: "Since, since you know this will happen, why do you still risk your life to accompany me to do such a thing..."

"The freedom I'm longing for may not be the kind of freedom you think. Do you know that even though I'm tied up here now, I still feel free..." Lan Le said indifferently: "It's just that I don't like Your use has hurt you... You should regret it, just treat it as my betrayal to you in this life, and if there is an afterlife, I will definitely repay you twice."

"No, I won't leave, I won't leave you..." Su Lianru said resolutely: "I said before, no one between us takes advantage of the other, only who is willing or not! You are free, and I am also free Isn't it, my heart is free! I don't want the next life, I only want this life!"

"But you also know that's impossible..."

Su Lianru got up from the ground with a grunt, eyes wide open, tears gushing, said: "Who says it's impossible! It's possible...you wait for me, I'll go beg Father, I'll kowtow to him, he Will definitely agree..."

At the moment Su Lianru turned around, Lan Le said calmly and sadly: "Su Lianru, why are you so obsessed with no regrets... I beg you, I'm just an ordinary person with flesh and blood, suffering and despair, you Can't you let me go... If you really love me, so what if you abandon me?"

Su Lianru turned her head and said, "But I love you! How could I abandon you!"

After a long time, Lan Le said softly: "But I don't love you. From the beginning to now, I've just been using you."

"you're lying……"

"Leave me alone, go back and be your princess, guarding someone who doesn't love you, living alone all your life, it's not worth it... It's better to find someone who loves you."

"you're lying!"
