The mad concubine of ancient martial arts who traveled through time

Chapter 377 House arrest
In Jinghua Garden, since Ruan Wenyong handed over Xuan Shidu to Qian Ao, Xuan Shidu has been under house arrest for five years, but it is not so much house arrest as Xuan Shidu himself does not want to leave.Layers of pines and cypresses cover the gate of the garden tightly, and the heavy subway gate separates the inside and outside of the garden into two worlds.For five years, except for Ruan Zhuqi and Ziying who often came in and out, only Qian Ao occasionally went in to have a look.

Ruan Zhuqi walked to the door and shook off Qian Ao's hand. Qian Ao sighed and said, "It's been five years, and many things should be settled. You go in first, and leave the rest to me."

Ruan Zhuqi looked at Qian Ao hesitantly, the life of pretending to be Hongfeng to serve Xuan Shidu for five years was not easy, but the life of being rejected by Xuan Shidu was even more difficult.Ruan Zhuqi hesitated, Qian Ao persuaded: "You can't go on like this forever, believe me, and believe in Ashina Siming. This strategy works, even if it doesn't work, at least you are working hard for your own happiness."

Ruan Zhuqi nodded silently, tightened the scarf on her face, and jumped into the wall.

Different from the pines and cypresses outside the courtyard, there are sparse bamboo forests in the courtyard.The garden is very small, except for the bamboo forest, there is only one small house left, which is also made of bamboo.Next to the bamboo hut, there is an empty space with a stone table and two stone benches.Although the two stone benches were made at the same time, one of them was obviously worn out.At this moment, Xuan Shidu was sitting on this stone bench, holding a string of sandalwood beads, closing his eyes and meditating.There was a book on the table, opened and placed right in front of Xuan Shidu.

"Reciting scriptures again!" Ruan Zhuqi pursed her lips. In the past few years, except for eating and sleeping, Xuan Shidu just recited words to scriptures and completely ignored the outside world.

"My lord, the prince is here." Ruan Zhuqi walked behind Xuan Shidu, imitating Hongfeng's tone and said to Xuan Shidu.

Xuan Shidu's hand moving the beads paused for a moment, his eyes opened, but he didn't say anything, and continued to concentrate on reciting scriptures.Qian Ao pushed open the iron gate, stepped on the fallen leaves all over the ground and came in, the expression on his face became extremely indifferent, completely different from the expression he had just shown to Ruan Zhuqi.

"How long will you pretend to be a false monk?" Qian Ao said coldly, throwing the scriptures on the stone table to the ground.

"The general is busy with the military, so why come here again to cause trouble?" Xuan Shidu leaned over to pick up the scriptures, but Qian Ao stomped on the scriptures. Xuan Shidu looked up at Qian Ao, and said, " General, please move."

Qian Ao's face changed slightly, and there was a "wow", the sandalwood beads in Xuan Shidu's hand were snatched off by Qian Ao, and the beads scattered all over the floor.

"My lord!" Ruan Zhuqi didn't understand what Qian Ao meant by this move, but bullying Xuan Shidu like this was no longer within Ruan Zhuqi's tolerance.

Qian Ao picked up a bead, looked at it carefully, threw the bead into Ruan Zhuqi's hands with a sneer, and said to Xuan Shidu: "If you really devote your whole heart to Buddha, how do you explain the words on this bead? Pretending to be Ruan Zhuqi?"

Ruan Zhuqi was startled when she heard this, and fixed her eyes on the beads in her hand.Sure enough, the word "Xu" was impressively engraved on the beads.Ruan Zhuqi hurriedly checked the other beads, and without exception, they were all engraved with the word "Xu".Ruan Zhuqi looked back at Xuan Shidu, but Xuan Shidu remained silent, bent down and carefully picked up the beads one by one.

"You don't need to pick it up, let alone put it on. The people who watched the show are gone, why are you still acting!" Qian Ao grabbed Xuan Shidu by the collar, and said, "I hate You, I hate you for delaying my five years and ruining my marriage with Xu'er. So I imprisoned you for five years. But now, Gao Wei, I pity you."

There was no expression on Xuan Shidu's indifferent face, Qian Ao snorted, and continued: "Because after five years, although Xu'er's heart no longer belongs to me, at least I can still see her and guard her. And you, But I have already bid farewell to her Yin and Yang."

Xuan Shidu's expression finally changed, his face lost all color in an instant, he grabbed Qian Ao's hand with his backhand, and asked in a trembling voice: "What did you say?"

Qian Ao threw Xuan Shidu on the ground with disdain, and said coldly: "Five years ago, Xu'er and his pro-Turk fell ill in Turk and died."

"Nonsense! How could Ruan Wenyong let her die!" Xuan Shidu immediately retorted, "Marrying Turks? Haha, do you think I'm stupid? Why is Ruan Wenyong willing to let her go?"

"Why should I lie to you?" Qian Ao said lightly, "No one knows better than you why Ruan Wenyong let Xu'er leave. Birth, old age, sickness and death are determined by God, can Ruan Wenyong go against the sky? You don't believe it, Go to Turkic by yourself and ask if you don't know. You go, I don't want to see you again. Xu'er is in the spirit of the sky, and I don't want to see you in my mansion again."

Xuan Shidu got up from the ground, staggered and ran out. "Young master! Young master!" Ruan Zhuqi yelled twice, but instead of catching up immediately, she looked at Qian Ao.Qian Ao shrugged his shoulders with a light smile, and said: "Look, he still has you in his heart. Ashina Siming is right. At this time, only by letting him lose forever, can he understand and come back to you .”

Ruan Zhuqi couldn't help the corners of his eyes getting wet. For five years, he held himself day and night in the palm of his hand, but he refused to go out of this small garden to find himself. "Xu'er, he will figure it out, he will." Qian Ao reached out to caress the corner of Ruan Zhuqi's eyes, and patted Ruan Zhuqi's shoulder as a sign of encouragement, "Hold it, don't let him find out in advance."

Ruan Zhuqi nodded with tears in her eyes, tried her best to restrain her emotions, and forced back the tears.Just after adjusting, she turned around and saw Ziying staring at her and Qian Ao strangely. "Afeng, where's your son?" Ziying looked at it for a while, only to realize that Xuan Shidu had disappeared.

"Young master has gone to Turkic, you follow quickly. The prince and I will be there later." Ruan Zhuqi deliberately distanced herself from Ziying while talking.Not long after arriving in Turkic five years ago, news of his death came out with the help of Siming.The Turkic side is busy with their own funeral, and Ruan Zhuqi has already taken Hongfeng away.So the news that Ruan Zhuqi is still alive, only Siming, Qian Ao and Hong Feng know.Of course, everything was in Ruan Wenyong's plan, but Ruan Zhuqi didn't know about it.

When Ziying heard Ruan Zhuqi's words, she immediately turned pale with shock: "Turk! Could it be that the young master already knows that the princess is dead?" Ruan Zhuqi nodded lightly, and Ziying immediately flew out like an arrow, towards the direction where Xuan Shidu disappeared. chase after.

If it wasn't for this time, Qian Ao would have never discovered that Xuan Shidu actually had a mount with a distance comparable to that of Gale.Qian Ao took Ruan Zhuqi all the way to chase Xuan Shidu in the gust of wind, but he didn't see Xuan Shidu along the way.After chasing all the way to the Turkic royal court, they heard Siming's subordinates tell them that Xuan Shidu had arrived an hour earlier than them.

The two of them didn't stop for a moment, and hurried to the "Wenfei Mausoleum".Sure enough, when he walked into the mausoleum, he saw Xuan Shidu hugging the tombstone, crying and laughing like he was crazy. "Concubine Wen's Mausoleum" is an empty tomb specially built for Ruan Zhuqi to deceive people. Of course, the tomb is not completely empty, because Siming wants to make a dummy into it.

Xuan Shidu stretched out his hand and brushed the words "Tomb of Turkic Concubine Ruan Zhuqi" on the tombstone, then beat his chest and stamped his feet for a while, and said to himself: "How could it be? How could it be? Why did God take you away! It's all my fault, why can't I bear all the punishment! Xu! How could you just leave like this! How could you!"

Qian Ao gave Ruan Zhuqi a look, then walked forward, coldly pushed Xuan Shidu away, and said, "Do you feel heartache? But I think parting from life and death is not the most heartbreaking thing. Wishing for it is a human being." The greatest pain in the world. When Xu'er was alive, you made her suffer so much that she could not have wished for. Death is a kind of relief for her. Gao Wei, you are not qualified to remember her at Xu'er's grave. "

"The pain of not getting what you want..." Xuan Shidu smiled wryly, with tears falling from the corners of his eyes, "She has suffered the pain of not getting what she wants for half a year in this world, and I have suffered for five years. For five years, I pray to God every day, so that Xu Live happily. It's been five years, do you understand the pain I want to see but can't see? Why don't you protect her! Yan Qianao, don't you love her very much!"

"If Xu'er could accept a man who loves herself peacefully, how could I allow you to live to this day?" Qian Ao sneered, "It's easy to love her, but how difficult is it to make her love others? , It was you who failed Xu'er and ruined her life's happiness."

Xuan Shidu's face was ashen, his lips trembled for a long time, and then he said hoarsely: "Let me down? Why do I want to let her down? We have committed too many sins in this life, and we will suffer retribution in the end. I just want to use my remaining life to repay us. The debt I owe. What I want is not a lifetime, but lifetimes with her."

"You can't even grasp this life, and you still expect the next life? Gao Wei, if you miss it, you will miss it forever, don't you?" Qian Ao coldly repeated what Ruan Wenyong told him.

When Xuan Shidu heard the words, astonishment flashed across his face, but was quickly replaced by despair: "She is dead, is it useful to say this now? I will let her go now, and hope that there will be time to catch her in the next life."

Just as Xuan Shidu pulled the dagger out of its sheath, before Ruan Zhuqi could say "no", the noise not far away attracted everyone's attention.

"Hurry up! Hurry up! Talk about you, hey, be careful! I got damaged!" Hearing this voice, Ruan Zhuqi felt dizzy.With such a penetrating voice, there is no second choice except Siming.

Sure enough, Siming came over with two warriors and a strange thing on their shoulders.Ruan Zhuqi quickly lowered her head, but Siming recognized her at a glance. "Hey! Sister Wen, you are here! I miss you so much!" Siming ran towards Ruan Zhuqi excitedly while talking.

"Sister Wen, you don't know. During your absence, I was almost bored to death! But, boredom also has its benefits. Look, I made you a new dummy, which is better than putting it in it. The one from here is a hundred times more beautiful!" Siming said while pointing to the grave.
