Chapter 285 Death (Part [-])
Song Qinghuan raised her eyes to look at him, with a half-smile, "Maybe it's you who asked someone to check on Azheng, to find out the relationship."

Seeing Song Qinghuan talking about this in a joking tone, Shen Chuhan pursed his lips, and sat down beside her with tenderness in his eyes, "Ah Wan, don't you blame me?"

Song Qinghuan stared at him, eyes streaming, "I'm already used to it."

Shen Chuhan put his arms around her shoulders, and kissed her on the cheek, "Ah Wan is pampering me even more now."

Song Qinghuan spread her hands together, showing helplessness, "With your temperament, even if I object, will you stop? It's just that you did it more secretly."

She raised her eyebrows and said again, "I'm used to it, as long as you don't overdo it."

Shen Chuhan smiled, his brows and eyes were calm, and he didn't see the hostility in front of others, "Don't worry, Wan, I won't make it difficult for you."

"En." Song Qinghuan lazily responded, covering his face with his hands and yawning.

Originally, the little princess was being breastfed by a wet nurse, but she had too much milk, so she simply carried her to breastfeed her.The little princess is familiar with her breath, and has become more and more attached to her these days.

For some reason last night, the little princess made a fuss all night, no matter how much the nurse coaxed her, she couldn't stop, so she had to hug her and Shen Chuhan to sleep together. The little guy cried and made a fuss in the middle of the night, and fell asleep almost in the early hours of the morning.

"You didn't sleep well last night, so take a rest." Shen Chuhan said distressedly.

Song Qinghuan shook his head, "It's okay, I'll take a nap after lunch." Remembering what happened to Mu Bai just now, he took a sip of the tea cup and said, "I thought Yin Qingrong was interested in Mu Bai before, but I didn't expect that in the end But it’s over.”

"Yin Qingrong?" Shen Chuhan raised his eyebrows, slightly surprised, "Is there such a thing?"

Song Qinghuan's expression was laziness, "In the previous sword-seizing conference, after she was woken up by me, she was absolutely in love with you. Later in the tomb, didn't you ask Mu Bai to protect her? After leaving the Infinite Mausoleum, I felt that she was in love with you." Mu Bai's attitude is a bit unusual. But, after all, the disparity in status is too great, even if she has any ideas, she can only give up in the end."

Having said that, she looked at Shen Chuhan, "By the way, I don't think I've heard you mention the life experiences of Mu Bai and Xuan Ying?"

"If they talk about it in detail, they should be regarded as Liangguo people. Back then, Xiao Zhuo and I stumbled into Wuyou Valley by mistake. After we worshiped Master as our teacher, we confessed my true identity to him. Master was afraid that I would leave the valley in the future. I didn't have any capable helpers, so I found two seedlings suitable for martial arts training, namely Mu Bai and Xuan Ying." Shen Chuhan explained.

After a pause, he continued, "Their parents were also people from the Jianghu, who were hunted down and killed by their enemies. When Master found them, they were already homeless."

Song Qinghuan nodded thoughtfully.

Shen Chuhan's road of revenge is full of thorns, only a person like Mu Bai Xuanying can be unscrupulous and loyal to Shen Chuhan wholeheartedly. Ye Wen's move is indeed very considerate for Shen Chuhan.

"If Mu Bai really likes Rong Zheng, I will let him and Xuan Ying take the road of military merit after I take over the position."

When the two of them made military achievements, their identities would naturally be established.After all, the Rong family is just a family of merchants, and when the time comes, there will be no question of whether they are worthy or not.

Song Qing smiled happily and glanced at Shen Chuhan.

He is actually not as cold as he appears to treat his own people.

"What about Xiao Zhuo?" Now that this topic was brought up, Song Qinghuan couldn't help thinking of Xiao Zhuo.

"Xiao Zhuo...I should have mentioned his life experience to you a little bit."

"Yes." Song Qinghuan nodded.

She did hear Shen Chuhan mention Xiao Zhuo's life experience, but she didn't know the details.In my impression, I only remember that he had a miserable life experience. His family members were beaten into rebellious officials and thieves, and all of them were beheaded for public display. Except for him, few people were spared.

"Xiao Zhuo's surname is taken from my mother and concubine. Back then, his family members were all imprisoned for committing crimes, and they will be executed soon. His mother and my mother and concubine made good friends, and asked my mother and concubine to protect him. The concubine mother secretly ordered someone to bring him out of the prison, change his name and surname, and put him beside me as a companion."

When it came to Xiao Zhuo's life experience, Shen Chuhan's face obviously darkened.Although his tone was calm, he could still hear the bloody storm that year.

"Then... what's his real name?" Song Qinghuan suppressed her smile and asked in thought.

The whole family asked, "Rebellious ministers and thieves, could it be...the death of Xiao Zhuo's family is related to the power struggle when Emperor Zhao ascended the throne?"

"His real name is Murong."

Murong?

Song Qinghuan didn't know much about Zhaoguo's situation, but this surname had been mentioned in her previous life.

There used to be a famous general in Zhao Kingdom called Murong Xiu. Murong Xiu was a loyal minister. On that day Emperor Zhao fought against the former Emperor Zhao Wuji, so he unconditionally supported Jun Wuchen.

But Jun Wuji led the Southland army to attack menacingly. Although Murong Xiu was good at arranging troops, the strength of the two sides was very different. In the end, he lost to the Southland army and the capital city was destroyed.

Jun Wuchen committed suicide in the palace, and he was also captured by life.

Jun Wuyin is a person who can't tolerate sand in his eyes. Murong Xiu's desperate defense of Jun Wuchen undoubtedly angered him.So after he ascended the throne, the first person he had to deal with was Murong Xiu.

Murong's family, men, women and children were all sentenced to death for the crime of treason, and no one survived.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Zhuo turned out to be from the Murong family.

"Xiao Zhuo...is he the son of Murong Xiu?" Song Qinghuan frowned lightly.

Shen Chuhan nodded silently.

"So, for Emperor Zhao, he hates him no less than I do."

A gloomy look flashed across Song Qinghuan's eyes, and he sighed, "I can't see that he also bears such a heavy hatred."

The man who smiled shyly was also a person who was groping in the dark.

"Well. We all keep these accounts in mind. One day, we will settle with Emperor Zhao one by one." Shen Chuhan turned his head and looked at the scenery outside the window.

As spring goes and autumn comes, the scenery remains the same, but it is just the state of mind of people, but it is never the same.

*
After that, who would have thought that the peace would only last for a few days, and the situation would suddenly change in an instant.

At that time, Song Qinghuan finished practicing martial arts and took a bath, and was about to let someone hug the little Princess, when suddenly she heard the sound of messy footsteps outside the door.

The footsteps stopped at the door, as if there were rustling conversations.

Soon, Shen Chuhan's figure appeared at the door, dressed in court clothes, with beads of sweat on his forehead, as if he was walking in a hurry.

As soon as he entered, the door behind him was closed by Shen Xing from the outside.

For some reason, Song Qinghuan's heart stopped for no reason, and she looked at Shen Chuhan in a daze.

He acted so eagerly, it was obvious that he rushed home immediately.Song Qinghuan looked at his eyes as deep as mist, his eyes were bright and clear, and there was a turbulent undercurrent in his eyes.

Could it be—what happened?
As soon as this idea popped up in my mind, my heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and it seemed to jump out of my chest with a "plop plop".

"What's the matter?" She got up, walked in front of Shen Chuhan, raised her small face and stared at Shen Chuhan's serious face.

Shen Chuhan hugged her waist, and said in a deep voice, "Ah Wan, there is news from Yuguo."

Yuguo?

A bad premonition suddenly rose in Song Qinghuan's heart.

It has been more than half a month since I received news from Yuguo last time.Last time I got the news, Emperor Yu was still in a coma, but Yang Fu's army approached Jian'an, and the faction of the empress and prince in the city had a stalemate with the Ning family, the situation was quite dangerous.

She persuaded Shen Chuhan to save Junxi and Xiao Shizi, and sent someone to send a letter to Junxi, but did not receive a response for the time being.

Could it be that the news that Shen Chuhan wanted to say was related to Father Huang or Jun Xi?
"Is it bad news?" She raised her eyes cautiously, and there were brittle icicles in her eyes.

Perhaps because of being a mother, these days, she felt that her heart was not as cold as before.

Shen Chuhan pursed his lips, did not speak immediately, but took her hand, and sat down on the soft couch by the window.

At the end of August, it was the end of summer. Although it was not until noon, there was still unbearable heat in the air.There were noisy cicadas singing from the courtyard, other than that, the day was so quiet that there was not even a breath of wind.

There were fresh ice cubes in the porcelain jar in the room, but Song Qinghuan felt a sudden irritability in her heart.

"Ashu..." She couldn't help it, and spoke again.

"Awan." Shen Chuhan finally answered, the five fingers clasping her shoulders seemed to be tightened, and the deep black pupils stared into her eyes, "Awan, it's... bad news."

Song Qinghuan's heart was suddenly empty.

She raised her eyes suddenly and grabbed his other hand, "Who is it? Father or Junxi?"

"Ah Wan...Emperor Yu...has passed away."

His voice was as gentle as a gust of wind, but it was abrupt, each word was paused, and every word pierced her heart sharply.There was a "buzz" in Song Qinghuan's mind, and everything around him suddenly became blurred.

All of a sudden, she seemed to have fallen into a deep vortex, and she couldn't get out no matter what, only a few fragmented words lingered in her mind.

crashed...

crashed...

Like a horse watching flowers, scenes of the past emerged in front of his eyes.

The relationship between her and Emperor Yu is probably not very close.Before her rebirth, her attitude towards Emperor Yu had always been cold and indifferent.

The disappearance of the mother and concubine back then was not mentioned by others, but she felt that she had never been inseparable from Emperor Yu.And Emperor Yu had a love-hate attitude towards her.

It was only later that she was reborn, her mind was a little more mature than before, and she knew that if she wanted to survive in that deep and small harem, she couldn't get too rigid with Emperor Yu.

At first, it was just the intimacy between Xu and Wei Snake, but later she found out that Emperor Yu, whom she had always hated, didn't have her own difficulties?

It's a pity that, born in the emperor's family, there has never been pure emotion, not even family affection.

She knew that even though Emperor Yu felt sorry for her because of his mother and concubine, and even though he saved herself when he proposed marriage in Liang Country, all of these were based on the premise of not harming the interests of Yu Country.

If it were her former self, she might feel resentful or disdainful, but after polishing the edges and corners of her previous life, she gradually began to understand Emperor Yu's attitude.

At all times, he was king first and father second.

And to himself, in the last few years, he still fulfilled his father's responsibility as much as possible.

And now, he is dead.

When she learned the news of Emperor Yu's death in her previous life, her emotions were more of astonishment and anger, because Shen Chuhan had promised him that she would protect Emperor Yu.

At this moment, she felt empty in her heart.

From now on, there is already a distant and unattainable distance between Yu Country's homeland and her.

Not knowing when, his face was already icy cold.

Shen Chuhan frowned, his eyes were distressed and impetuous, and there was a layer of coldness on his icy face.

He stretched out his hand and carefully wiped away the teardrops from the corners of Song Qinghuan's eyes with his fingertips. His tone became more and more gentle, and his tone was as low as dust, "Ah Wan, I know you feel sad, you... If you are sad, just cry."

Song Qinghuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, she closed her eyes, and tears rolled down her cheeks, showing a degree of fragility that was rarely seen before.

Shen Chuhan only felt that his heart was hurting.

He could have kept this matter from Song Qinghuan, but he didn't want to make the same mistake as last time, so after weighing it, he chose to tell her.

Just looking at Song Qinghuan's sad and forbearing appearance now, she began to doubt her decision again.

Just when she was feeling distressed, Song Qinghuan suddenly opened her eyes, the pupils in her eyes were dark and lingering with tiny icicles.

"Father...how did he die?" She finally spoke, her tone was hoarse.

"The poison is deadly, and the medicine is useless." Shen Chuhan's voice was light, his eyes fell on Song Qinghuan's face without blinking, and he did not miss the slightest change in her mood.

Song Qinghuan's originally dark eyes suddenly dimmed, as if the light of a star was obscured by dark clouds.

"Ah Wan..."

For a moment, Shen Chuhan didn't know how to comfort her, and there was a thick ink color in his eyes, which was a bit darker than Song Qinghuan's.

Some clamoring mania rose from the bottom of my heart.

How much he wanted to lock Song Qinghuan in his own world and prevent her from any harm, but this was not what Ah Wan wanted after all.

At this moment, he suddenly realized the paleness of his words, so he hugged Song Qinghuan tightly, trying to give her some warmth.

"What's the situation in Yuguo now?" After a moment of silence, Song Qinghuan suddenly had a sharp look on his face, as if breaking through a cluster of solid ice in the swaying water mist, swaying a sharp edge.

Shen Chuhan looked at her cold brows and eyes, his eyes drooping slightly, feeling more and more pity in his heart.

If possible, he doesn't want her to be so strong.

After a moment of distraction, he said heavily, "After Emperor Yu passed away, Song Yan succeeded to the throne, and Yang Fu has also approached Lindu. By now, I am afraid that he has already begun to attack the city."

There was a bitter and mocking smile on the corner of Song Qinghuan's mouth.

That's right, the empress and Song Yan have coveted that seat for a long time, and if Song Yan doesn't ascend the throne, he won't feel at peace for a day.Now that his father is dead and Yu country is in turmoil, it is really justified for him to occupy that position.

even--

It's hard to say whether the father died suddenly at this time after being lingering on the sick bed for so long.If the father is still there, even if he is unconscious, he is only a prince, and he will not gain the upper hand in the fight with the Ning family.

And if he ascends the throne—

Neither Concubine Ning Gui nor Ning Tengyue were his opponents anymore.

The details, even if they are thoroughly studied, everything is a foregone conclusion, and nothing can be changed.

The trajectory of history has always been one that affects the whole body.

Song Qinghuan felt a little empty and cold in her heart, her eyes were vacant, and she raised her head to look at Shen Chuhan.

Shen Chuhan frowned, his thin lips were tightly pressed into a straight line, and he looked at her nervously.

Song Qinghuan opened her arms, hugged him, and buried her head in his arms.

Smelling the familiar cold fragrance, the tight string in her mind gradually relaxed, and many emotions that had been suppressed forcibly surged up.

"Ashu, I obviously...I obviously hated him once, why is my heart hurting so much now?"

She grabbed Shen Chuhan's skirt tightly, her eyes were sore, and her eyes were blurred with tears.

"Hey, just cry." Shen Chuhan patted her on the back, his voice murmured and gentle.He just repeated this sentence, and didn't say anything else, with a gloomy look lingering between his brows.

Song Qinghuan cried louder and louder, till the end, she was hysterical.

Most likely, in the three years of her rebirth, even though she was protected by Shen Chuhan in every possible way, all the things she experienced still made people feel mixed, taking this opportunity today, she simply cried out completely.

Shen Chuhan and her have always been in the same heart, so he doesn't know that although she is tougher than ordinary women by nature, she also has more burdens than ordinary women.

He intends to take the burden off her, but his Awan has never been a delicate flower in a greenhouse, all he can do is walk hand in hand with her.And the road he wants to walk has always been covered with thorns, and there are some swords that she can only block by herself.

And Ah Wan, who was reborn in the first life, was tougher and colder than the previous life, and after all, the edges and corners of the previous life were worn away.At this moment, she was crying so hard in his arms, but in a trance, he saw the her who loved and hated clearly when he first met in the previous life, the fresh and swaying her.

My mind was a little bit in a trance, my memory drifted away, and I went back to the previous life, that glimpse when I first met.

The vicissitudes of life are changing, and the world is changing.

He always thought that he fell in love with Ah Wan only later.But some things, perhaps from the very beginning, have buried the fruit of karma.

That year, he was ordered to go to Jian'an to discuss the marriage between Liang and Yu.
