slave like jade

Chapter 191
Seeing Yue Yu was about to leave, Yu Ruyan suddenly stopped him and asked him to take her away.

This sudden move of hers, apart from King Liang's clear face, the other three were completely stunned!
Xiaodao didn't know what to say, and Yue Yu couldn't believe what he heard——

Ever since she confessed everything to her in the cell of Dali Temple that day, although Yu Ruyan didn't show any complaints towards him on the surface, he clearly felt the strangeness between her and him...

Later, after learning that he was the mastermind behind the ruthless assassination of Xiaodao three years ago, he was completely ashamed in front of her. Even if he met him later in Dali Temple, neither of them said a word, even if he was leaving today, It was also what King Liang told her yesterday.

Therefore, Yue Yu knew that she hated him in her heart, and never imagined that there would be a day when she would forgive herself and be willing to go with her.

And the one who was most shocked was naturally Mu Lingzhi. He was like a thunderbolt. After hearing Yu Ruyan's words, his mind went blank. ...

The next moment, when he came back to his senses, he was about to step forward and hold Yu Ruyan who was walking towards the door, and asked her if he had heard wrong, but just as he took a step, he was stopped by King Liang!
Liang Wang said coldly: "Stop, don't stop her!"

However, Mu Lingzhi would let Yu Ruyan go so easily, he just froze slightly, and the next moment, he rushed in front of Yu Ruyan with even bigger strides, blocking her way out.

"You... what did you just say?"

His long eyelashes fluttered uncomfortably like wings, and there was panic in his deep eyes. He looked at Yu Ruyan with a cold expression in front of him for a moment, and bad premonitions hit him one after another——

It turned out that his premonition was not wrong, she really had something to hide from him, and this matter was to leave him and go with Yue Yu!
This news is undoubtedly the most fatal blow to him!
Thinking of the end result like this, Mu Lingzhi's heart ached like a knife, he couldn't care less about listening to her answer, and couldn't care less about hugging her tightly into his arms in front of his father and Yue Yu. The voice was domineering and firm: "Tell me, you just said the wrong thing, I got it wrong!"

His body was pressed tightly into his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

The more Yu Ruyan felt numb from the pain in her heart, the more indifferent her face became.She struggled to get out of Mu Lingzhi's arms, and said in a calm tone, "No, Your Highness heard right, and I said right, I am determined to go with Big Brother."

"You... what did you say?"

Even though her voice was clear, Mu Lingzhi still didn't want to believe it. He stared at her closely, trying to see the joking expression on her face.

However, Yu Ruyan's face was indifferent and firm, without a trace of joking description, and the big empty eyes were engraved with frost at this moment.

"I said, after going through so many things, I found that the only person who really loves me and can truly protect me is Brother Da, so I want to go with Brother Da and live an ordinary and simple life!"

If what Yu Ruyan said before was a thunderbolt that hit Mu Lingzhi's head, then this sentence was like a sharp steel knife piercing into his heart, piercing his heart with holes. , I'd rather die than live!
He couldn't believe that such words would come out of Yu Ruyan's mouth, and he couldn't believe that she actually denied the hard-won friendship between them, which depended on life and death...

Holding her thin shoulders tightly with both hands, looking straight at her, Mu Lingzhi's tone was unknowingly begging, and he said in a trembling voice: "Don't say stupid things, and don't be angry with me... I know that since I returned to Daliang, I have been too busy, and I have you waiting for me at home alone every day, and sometimes I don’t even have time to have a proper meal with you... I will change it, and in the future, I will definitely find time to have a good time Accompany you, from now on, I will take you to eat hot pot at night, and go for a walk on the long street, I will definitely do it..."

Yu Ruyan seemed to be hurt by his grip, her body trembling uncontrollably, even though she could no longer see him, she still involuntarily lowered her head and dared not face him.

She gritted her teeth to interrupt Mu Lingzhi's flustered words, and said coldly: "No need, I am completely disappointed in His Highness. Since the day I married you with my relative, it was the beginning of my tragic fate..."

"I was ruined by the cold arrow you shot, and became a military prostitute; because of you, I had to be humiliated as your slave and handmaid, and was bullied and squeezed by the women in your backyard, and suffered a lot. , suffered all kinds of sufferings...and then, because of being with you, I suffered even more blows and disasters that I couldn't bear—"

"Prison cell, crane top red, beaten and scolded, even on the beheading platform, almost died, and finally you stabbed my eyes blind, how can I not hate you!"

"When you imprisoned me as a slave, I, Yu Ruyan, swore to myself that one day, I will make you fall in love with me, then abandon you fiercely, and trample you under my feet again, in order to repay the past Your revenge for my humiliation. Now, I have given up a pair of eyes, but I have fulfilled the oath I made back then..."

Yu Ruyan's cold and piercing words not only completely stunned Mu Lingzhi, but even Xiao Dao and Yue Yu couldn't believe it.

At this moment, Yu Ruyan was glad that she couldn't see her eyes.Otherwise, if she was allowed to watch Mu Lingzhi hurt and grieved, she would definitely not be able to continue, and would say the most against her will to hurt him...

"Now, His Highness and I are at peace. I don't want to stay here anymore, stay in Daliang, let alone stay by your side, because I will never forget the harm you have done to me, and I will never be able to truly Get happiness!"

After all, she held back the tears that were about to burst, cruelly pushed Mu Lingzhi away from the petrified Mu Lingzhi in front of her, and walked towards Yue Yu resolutely...

Mu Lingzhi fell into endless despair and panic and couldn't recover.Yu Ruyan walked towards Yue Yu eagerly, Yue Yu was afraid that she would fall, so he couldn't help but stepped forward to support her, she turned her back, and in a place where the other three could not see, she snuggled up to Yue Yu's side and spoke in an extremely low voice. The voice implored him—

"Take me away, take me away. Please!"

Ever since Yu Ruyan asked to go with him just now, Yue Yu had been shocked for a moment, and didn't understand why she would do this all of a sudden, what she said was heartless and sad, and——leave no room for it.

Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao couldn't believe the panic on their faces, but Liang Wang remained calm. Suddenly, a light flashed in Yue Yu's heart. He knew that maybe Yu Ruyan, like himself, had become the fear of Liang Wang. So people who had to leave.

This thought flashed across his mind, plus he has known Yu Ruyan for so long, he knows she is not such a person, and he knows the weight of Mu Lingzhi in her heart. When the news of her death in battle, Yu Ruyan was heartbroken and desperate, she wanted to die, she had no will to live, and almost died on the way to the battlefield...

Therefore, there must be a reason for her sudden change today!

But in this case, in front of King Liang, he couldn't ask her carefully, because he felt that her change must be related to King Liang, and in this world, besides King Liang, no one can hold her back. There is no second person.

Thinking of this, seeing her flustered and anxious face, he had no choice but to agree first, and said softly: "Okay, I'll take you away!"

After finishing speaking, without stopping any longer, he took Yu Ruyan's hand and walked outside together.

Mu Lingzhi was in extreme shock all the time, his eyes were bloodshot, his mind went blank, he just stayed on the spot stupidly, and he didn't even notice that they were going to leave.

Seeing Xiaodao at the side, he couldn't help chasing after them, stopped in front of the two, grabbed Yu Ruyan's hand, and said anxiously: "Sister, what's wrong with you? How can you say such a thing? Could it be... Is the relationship with Brother Huang really a play? I don’t believe it, and Brother Huang will not believe it. You and Brother Huang have gone through so many hardships, and finally got together. How can you just leave? "

"Sister, do you...do you have a problem in your heart? Tell me, and I'll help you solve it...Sister, you can't leave..."

Yu Ruyan was heartbroken. She gritted her teeth and used all her strength to walk out. Every step she took felt like she was stepping on the tip of a knife, which made her extremely painful...

Xiaodao's words were like a heavy resistance, making it even more difficult for her to walk, but she knew that King Liang kept what he said, and today, she must leave!

King Liang only gave her one way to go, which was to find a reason to leave Daliang, make Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao completely give up on her, and even make them hate her to the bone...

If she doesn't leave, then Liang Wang can only choose one person to live between Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao. Among the two brothers, she chooses the one, and the other will not be able to live in this world...

Because, Liang Wang didn't want his two sons to become the next himself and the first emperor!

Last night, also in this great hall, King Liang not only told Yu Ruyan about the ambiguous relationship between himself, the first emperor, and Queen Zhu ten years ago, which eventually led to a catastrophe, but also Mu Ruyan. Lingzhi and Xiaodao told her about the duel on the city wall.Both Xiaodao and Mu Lingzhi concealed this matter from her spontaneously, just not wanting to burden her heart, so when she heard all this from King Liang, Yu Ruyan couldn't believe it.

She couldn't believe that for her, Mu Lingzhi could put the sword on the neck of his dearest brother, and she never thought that Xiaodao would deploy heavy troops to deal with her own brother. Thinking of the terrible scene at that time, Yu Ruyan felt His whole body was chilled.

However, what King Liang said to her later made her tremble and despair completely!

King Liang said: "That day, I sentenced you to beheading. But in the end, for you, Ling Zhi blatantly resisted the decree and forcibly entered the city, sacrificing the secret guards he had cultivated for many years. Thousands of Habayashi soldiers were exhausted. And the prince—”

Speaking of this, King Liang's heart ached, his eyes were cold, and he said in a very sad tone: "And the prince is actually planning for you to let me abdicate the Zen throne to him, so that he can ascend the throne in advance, so as to pardon your capital crime !"

Hearing this, she couldn't hold on any longer, her body flickered, and she almost fell to the ground.

It turned out that after Xiaodao fought side by side with Mu Lingzhi to slaughter the Yulin army that day, he went to the other garden to see Yu Ruyan who was blinded, and learned of Mu Lingzhi's plan to replace Yu Ruyan's life. At that moment, he His heart was twisted like a knife, when he thought that Yu Ruyan had become a poor blind man, and Mu Lingzhi was about to die, Xiaodao felt resentful towards King Liang in his heart.

He wanted to save Yu Ruyan, he also wanted to save his brother, and even more, he wanted to change everything that was chaotic at that time. When he was desperate, he came up with a bold idea, that is to ascend the throne and become emperor in advance!

Only when he becomes the emperor can he pardon all the crimes of Yu Ruyan and Mu Lingzhi, and only in this way can he protect the people he wants to protect.

So, after hurriedly returning to the palace from Bieyuan, he conspired with his subordinates to force King Liang to take the Zen throne...

Layers of fine sweat covered Yu Ruyan's back. She knew that even if Xiaodao was the crown prince, what he did was a heinous crime. Even if he was King Liang's own son, King Liang could still have him life.

Seeing Yu Ruyan's terrified expression, Liang Wang said coldly: "Although he reined in at the end and didn't take any action, it can be seen from this that he cares about you more than anything else in his heart. And I, if you want to To hold him accountable and kill him, do you think I should? Or, since you and Ling Zhi are also his accomplices, should I punish you both for the crime?"

Although she couldn't see the description on King Liang's face, Yu Ruyan could still feel the icy coldness in his eyes, and she couldn't help kneeling down in front of King Liang, trembling all over, and gritted her teeth: "Your Majesty... What do you want me to do?"

Yu Ruyan knew in her heart that Xiaodao committed such a serious crime, but Liang Wang just called her here alone, which meant that Liang Wang already believed that everything Xiaodao and Mu Lingzhi disobeyed him was because of her, so, from the beginning to the end At the end, she is the only person King Liang can't tolerate!
"I want you to leave Daliang and my two sons!"

Liang Wang's tone was firm without any room for turning around. He looked at her fixedly, and said slowly: "These two sons of mine are crazy because of you, and they are no longer the two orders I taught by myself. My proud son."

"If you don't leave, I can be sure that Daliang's future will be like ten years ago. Because of a woman, brothers turned against each other and ushered in a bloody storm..."

Yu Ruyan knelt on the ground trembling all over, her heart was in pain and panic, and she didn't even have the courage to raise her head to face King Liang.

Liang Wang did not urge her to give an answer, but said slowly with sadness: "I have spent ten years to regret the wrong things I did ten years ago. In these ten years ago, I did not have a single day Live happily and peacefully, and live with guilt day and night, the taste and pain in it are very human. Therefore, I don't want the same tragedy to happen to my son again..."

"I am destined to leave a bad name in history. But I don't want the crown prince or Ling Zhi to become sinners through the ages like me. Therefore, this is my last wish as a father."

The words of King Liang's words are like punishment, engraved into Yu Ruyan's heart...

Although Empress Xie had said this to her before, she didn't think the situation would be as serious as what the empress said at that time, because Xiaodao hadn't acted crazy towards her at that time...

But now, even if she doesn't want to believe it anymore, she still has to believe what King Liang said is possible...

After a long time, she raised her head in despair and mourned, "Why didn't Your Majesty just kill me? Wouldn't this make it easier for the two brothers to die?"

"Because you are the queen's benefactor, and even more so the prince's benefactor, and you have been wronged and suffered so much this time. All of this is owed to you by my big beam, so I can no longer ask for your life to resolve this matter." The only way is to let you leave, and let them completely sever their friendship with you, or even make them hate you..."

Yu Ruyan had never seen the tragic appearance of the mutiny ten years ago, but she had witnessed the tragic life of the four childhood sweethearts left by the disaster of the war ten years ago.

The pain and suffering Yue Yu suffered because of the incident ten years ago is obvious to all.And the dead Mu Ziyue was not a victim of such a disaster? !

If it were not for the events of the past, she might have obeyed the fate and became Yue Yu's concubine, and then she would be promoted to the queen of the palace naturally, and her life would not have intersected with Mu Lingzhi and her, and she would not have become a concubine because of love and hatred. A ruthless person who fell into madness!

Mu Lingzhi also has always been brooding about the sword that stabbed Yue Yu back then, and he felt guilty. He dared not celebrate the Hanrui Festival for ten years, and even became tired of the throne. He wanted to escape everything here, and later stepped into the Falling into the revenge trap carefully designed by Yue Yu, one wrong step and one wrong step...

And if it wasn't because of the hatred in Yue Yu's heart for what happened ten years ago, Xiaodao would not have been assassinated by him three years ago, and thus lived among the people, suffered a lot, and even became hostile.He will never meet her, let alone have feelings for her, disturbing her relationship with Mu Lingzhi, so that now because she is going to do something wrong...

And she herself, originally a princess from another country thousands of miles away, was finally implicated in this misfortune and became an innocent pawn...

So, having witnessed everyone's misfortune with my own eyes, even Yu Ruyan can't guarantee whether she will become Queen Zhu ten years ago, and whether Mu Lingzhi and Xiaodao will turn against each other again because of her. ...

Even if it was only a one in ten thousand possibility, Yu Ruyan couldn't afford to gamble, she didn't want to gamble, let alone dared to gamble.

So, she promised King Liang, promised to leave Mu Lingzhi, Xiaodao, Daliang, and never come back...

And she thought that the best way to make Mu Lingzhi give up on her, let go of her completely, and even turn his love for her into hating her in the end is to empathize with her and go with Yue Yu...

……

Therefore, Yu Ruyan, who had already made up her mind to leave, looked at the small knife in front of her at this moment, hardened her heart, and gritted her teeth: "In this life, I not only don't want to see Mu Lingzhi again, but I also don't want to see Mu Lingzhi. You, I regret saving you three years ago."

Hearing this, Xiaodao was also stunned, looking at her in disbelief.

"I saved you with good intentions and treated you like a younger brother, but what did you do to me?"

When she said these cruel words, Yu Ruyan became dizzy for a while, and staggered, she almost fell to the ground, and Yue Yu who was beside her quickly reached out to support her.

Her voice trembled badly, but she gritted her teeth to suppress the grief in her heart, and continued to say fiercely: "From this moment on, between you and me, we will cut off the relationship between sister and brother, and we will never see each other again."

After finishing speaking, he shook off the stiff hand of the knife heavily.

With a huge pain in his heart, the knife hangs his arms weakly, staring blankly at Yu Ruyan, who looks hideous in front of him and feels completely unfamiliar, and panics to the point of incoherence: "Sister, I know I was wrong... Sister, I will not talk to the emperor again in the future." Brother fights for you, as long as you are good, I can do anything...I swear to heaven, I must listen to my sister's words in this life...Sister, forgive me, I was wrong..."

"Things have happened. At this point, my heart is dead. My only wish now is to leave here. If you are really good for me, let me go."

Yu Ruyan resolutely interrupted his words and walked forward.Xiaodao looked back anxiously at Mu Lingzhi who was stunned, heartache flashed in his eyes, he held her hand again unwillingly, and said anxiously: "Sister, you can be angry with me, but you can't blame the emperor Brother, he is doing your best from the beginning to the end... You can't abandon him, he was impulsive when he shot that arrow back then, and your eyes were forced to do so, Brother Huang has difficulties..."

Yu Ruyan didn't want to hear Mu Lingzhi's name again, she was afraid that her hardened heart would collapse when she heard the word 'Mu Lingzhi', so she gritted her teeth and turned to kneel in the direction of King Liang. He said coldly: "Your Majesty, you have issued a letter of credence before, and you have established a marriage between the two countries. Therefore, the marriage between me and His Highness the Third Highness is no longer counted. Ruyan would like to ask Your Majesty, but now Ruyan and Daliang are not married. If you are close relatives, you can't be counted as Liang Liang, can you come and go freely, and can you marry again?"

Liang Wang's old and decrepit description disappeared in the dimly lit hall. Looking at the situation in front of him, although he felt guilty, he still hardened his heart and said firmly: "The marriage between the two countries is a major event. To obtain the truth, naturally you can’t go back on what you say.”

"From today onwards, you can get married on your own, and you will no longer have any relationship with Daliang's people and affairs. You - let's go!"

The words of King Liang woke up Mu Lingzhi who had been stuck in a terrible nightmare. He came to his senses completely, knowing that what was happening in front of him was not a dream, but real!

And Yu Ruyan got permission from King Liang, and without staying any longer, she softly said to Yue Yu who was holding her by her side: "Brother Bigger, let's go!"

Yue Yu looked at her face of panic and pain that she was trying to hide, sighed and asked, "Have you really made up your mind?"

"Let's go! I've made a decision, and I will never regret it." Yu Ruyan's voice trembled uncontrollably, as if fleeing, she took Yue Yu's hand and walked towards Xiang, but was chased by Mu Lingzhi who reflected come up.

He grabbed her hand, gritted his teeth, and said, "Do you know what you are doing? Even if the emperor made peace between the two countries, I, Mu Lingzhi, can still marry you... I know that you were in Daliang. Life is very hard, and I have suffered a lot of grievances. I said that once the affairs of the court and China are over, I will take you out of here and live where you want to go. Why are you suddenly like this..."

"Is there a day when the affairs of the court can be settled? Your Highness has always said to marry me, but in the end, not only did I not look forward to the wedding you owed me, but even the name of husband and wife between you and me was broken. What's more, from the beginning to the end, I was only taking revenge on you, revenge on your revenge with the sword, revenge on my military prostitute, and even revenge on your dazzling hatred for me!"

Yu Ruyan closed her eyes, gritted her teeth bitterly, and said these heartbreakingly sad words.His expression was also indifferent, and Mu Lingzhi felt like a thousand arrows piercing through his heart!

"I don't believe it. I'm not a fool. I, Mu Lingzhi, can judge whether your feelings for me are true or not. It's not something you can completely deny with just one or two sentences!"

Mu Lingzhi's eyes were already red with pain, and he couldn't take it anymore, he broke down and roared at Yu Ruyan.

He didn't understand why Yu Ruyan, who was fine a moment ago, changed in the blink of an eye.He even didn't understand why the kind and innocent woman with a kind heart and a smile on her face even if she endured all the injustices and tribulations in the world without a single complaint at ordinary times became what she is today. Turning the most vicious words in the world into white knives, stabbing him mercilessly one after another...

Mu Lingzhi's growl and roar sounded like a wounded beast, struggling for the last time before dying. However, even so, Yu Ruyan had no choice but to add the deadliest knife to him!

"Since the day I met His Highness, His Highness has boasted that he is the most powerful and intelligent person in the world, and he is surrounded by iron walls, so that no one can find your weakness and defeat you!"

"Your Highness, do you still remember that in the fighting competition in the barracks, His Highness rewarded me as an item to the winner of that night. At that time, I asked His Highness if he had regretted anything. His Highness answered me confidently, You never regret, the word regret will not appear on you, not today, nor in the future."

"From that moment on, I made up my mind that I will do something that you will regret for the rest of your life. I will make myself your soft threat, a soft threat that can kill you!"

"You..." Mu Lingzhi shook his head in disbelief, as if he didn't know the person in front of him, but there was a strange and frightened look on his face!
"And I chose to go with Big Brother today because, from the very beginning, I agreed to get married because of him, and I followed you with humiliation. You may not know that we met eight years ago. From beginning to night, he is the only person I like, and Your Highness is just a chess piece I am playing with!"

After that, she raised the hand tightly held with Yue Yu to Mu Lingzhi's eyes, and said with a sneer: "Your Highness has always been curious, where did I learn my chess skills? Let me tell you today, My chess skills were handed over to me by Big Brother!"

Gritting her teeth and saying the last sentence, Yu Ruyan's mind was already buzzing loudly, she tried her best to hold back the fishy sweetness welling up in her throat, her body softened, she could no longer hold herself and fell into Yue Yu's arms... …

And her heart-wrenching words made even Xiao Dao change his face, and completely angered Mu Lingzhi's dead heart——

A mouthful of blood spurted out from Mu Lingzhi's mouth, and the blood dripped on the white mourning clothes, which was shocking!

The next moment, there was a 'swish' from his soft waist, his deep eyes were already blood-colored, and before he had time to wipe off the blood stains from the corners of his mouth, the long sword in his hand was already facing the woman in front of him that he hated to the bone.

Mu Lingzhi gritted his teeth and said harshly, "I'm going to kill you!"
