heartbreak
The flowers on the plum blossoms exuded a faint fragrance, and the light red petals were like a woman's shy cheeks. Liu Ji picked up the plum blossoms and looked at them, then picked up the notes on the table.
Deep in the plum garden, the beauty is still there.
There were only eight simple words on the note. Liu Ji didn't have the patience to play this game of playing hard to get with Bo Ji. He threw away the plum blossoms in his hand and turned around to leave, but the words on the note made him stop.
The beauty is still the same, the beauty is still the same...
Liu Ji felt that this was very strange. He walked out of the Peony Garden in confusion and returned to Wanhua Street.
"Where are plum blossoms here?" Liu Ji stopped two women. When the woman heard Liu Ji's words, she laughed so hard that her flowers were trembling. One of them covered her mouth and replied: "Young Master was joking. Although Wanhua Street is called Wanhua, it does not have all kinds of flowers. Why can't so many girls here satisfy the young master?"
It seems to be mocked...
Liu Ji forced a smile: "Forget it, I'm abrupt, I'm going to say goodbye."
"Wait--" Another girl called Liu Ji. She looked him up and down and said, "Looking that you don't look like a bad person, let me tell you. If you want to pick plum blossoms, you can go to the plum garden in the back mountain to see it, but it's best to leave after picking flowers, don't go too far."
Liu Ji was curious: "Why is this?"
"There is a beautiful woman deep in the plum garden, so don't ask too much." The woman seemed very scared and whispered: "I told you that you are honest and you should leave after picking flowers and never stay too much."
Although Liu Ji was confused, he nodded gently on the surface: "Thank you for your advice, I understand."
Liu Ji left Wanhua Street, and the sound of orioles gradually became smaller and disappeared silently behind him. Liu Ji walked slowly along the sheep-intestinal path in the mountains. On both sides of the path, there were lush trees and birds chirping. Liu Ji took a deep breath and was in this forest. Liu Ji felt relaxed both body and mind.
The path was rugged and winding. Liu Ji walked through this dense forest and walked along the path to a hillside. His vision suddenly opened. A whole forest of plum blossoms appeared in front of him. The plum trees were full of light red flowers, as if he was wearing a tulle skirt on the hillside. The gauze skirt trembled lightly with the breeze, and the light red plum blossom rain fell.
Liu Ji didn't expect that there was such a fairyland in Chang'an. His soul seemed to have been hooked away. He speeded up and melted himself into this plum forest. The fragrance of plum blossoms filled the entire garden, which was intoxicating. Liu Ji walked and admired the plum blossoms, which was very comfortable.
There seemed to be someone walking in the distance. Liu Ji stopped behind a plum tree and looked in the direction of footsteps. The man was wearing a bright red wide-sleeved skirt, with long ink hair hanging softly at his waist, as charming as a fairy. She turned her back to Meilin, and was digging a jar of wine under the tree with a hoe. The back was so familiar that Liu Ji's breathing suddenly stopped.
"Qiqi..."
Liu Ji murmured, the scene in front of him made him feel as unrealistic as a dream. The woman in red placed the fine wine she dug out on the stone table and opened the lid. In an instant, the wine smelled everywhere.
In this strong fragrance of wine, Liu Ji felt as if he was drunk. He felt that everything in front of him was so illusory, like a dream, so beautiful, but fleeting. His whole body was trembling, and his feet suddenly stopped at this moment. He was afraid of breaking this dream, afraid that all this was fake, and after waking up from the dream, there was still endless loneliness.
The woman in red turned around and hugged the wine in her arms and smiled calmly. Liu Ji's heart started to beat violently at this moment. The frown and smile appeared countless times in his dreams. He thought about it every day and every night, and this face was all in the dreams. Liu Ji's eyes were wet. Four years have passed, and he has been waiting for four years. The boundless loneliness dissipated at this moment, and his heart was filled with a kind of almost crazy joy.
Qiqi, I finally found you...
Liu Ji took a light step, and his whole body trembled slightly, and he walked forward intoxicatedly. However, the next scene immediately made his heart fall from the world to the ground and smash it to pieces. In the thatched hut, Han Xin led a little boy out, and the boy ran quickly towards Qi Lan, plunged into her arms, and acted intimately. Han Xin shook his head helplessly, and stood beside him and looked at them with a doting look.
Liu Ji suddenly felt as if he was a daughter. His face was pale and almost no color, and his whole body was frozen like a thunderbolt. The scene in front of him was really a big blow to him, and his brain was blank at this moment.
The harmonious and beautiful scene in front of him kept playing in his eyes. Qi Lan and Han Xin smiled at each other, their eyes full of each other, as if they could no longer tolerate others. Liu Ji's fingers clenched together, and his heart started to hurt violently until it ended up almost numb. Five deep scratches left on the trunk of the plum tree, which melted into the trunk with blood.
In Han Xin's arms, Qi Lan walked into the room with the boy in his arms. The three of them disappeared in front of him. Liu Ji stood quietly in the plum forest, motionless until the moonlight first rose and night fell.
Behind her, Bo Ji walked out. Liu Ji's expression was so sad that her heart hurt. She called out "Your Majesty" in a low voice, then knelt down on one knee.
Liu Ji didn't say anything, his eyes looked straight at the small thatched hut in the distance. The blood on his fingers had frozen, and the blood in the cracks of the tree turned dark red, blending with the trunk.
Bo Ji was getting more and more panicked. She had thought that Liu Ji would be angry, sad, and sad, but she never thought that he would become like this. Bo Ji gently touched Liu Ji's clothes. This time, Liu Ji finally reacted. He suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood. The bright red blood stained the plum blossoms all over the ground, which was shocking.
"Your Majesty!" Bo Ji's face was faded and hurriedly supported Liu Ji. Liu Ji's body shook slightly and fell to the ground. Bo Ji was so scared that her face looked like a slight look. She never expected that Liu Ji would be hit so hard.
Liu Ji struggled for a few times before barely stood up from the ground. He gently pushed Bo Ji away and staggered away from Meiyuan. Bo Ji helped Liu Ji several times, but he pushed him away. She could only stand silently and watch Liu Ji stumble away.
In the next few days, the emperor was sick and Xiao He temporarily handled the court affairs. Liu Ji did not attend court and did not meet anyone. He locked himself in the bedroom, and no one was allowed to serve or disturb him. Lu Zhi came several times and was turned away. Even if Xiao He came to report on the court affairs, Liu Ji avoided him.
A few days later, just when everyone was talking and wondering why, an imperial edict came from Liu Ji's bedroom - ordering Han Xin to be the vanguard general, leading 100,000 troops to fight against the rebel Zang Tu, and set off immediately.
As soon as the imperial edict was issued, Han Xin felt something was strange, but Liu Ji had been ill and could not see Han Xin. He just ordered Xiao He to prepare food and grass and send Han Xin to the expedition.
When the incident happened suddenly, Han Xin had to take the order to go to war. Zang Tu was a little thief, so it was not worth worrying. Han Xin and Qi Lan agreed that they would wipe out the rebels as soon as possible and come back to pick up Qi Lan and his son and leave Chang'an.
Qi Lan's bad premonition became stronger and stronger. At this critical moment, Liu Ji suddenly sent Han Xin to send troops. This was very strange, but the king's order was difficult to violate, and Han Xin had to follow the orders to suppress the thieves. Qi Lan had no choice but to order Lu Yang to take the troops from Chuling Pavilion to respond to Han Xin and help him.
Watching Han Xin's army leave Chang'an City in a mighty manner, Qi Lan's eyelids kept pounding. She was really worried about Han Xin, and ordered the twelve divisions of Chuling Pavilion to protect them secretly, so she felt a little relieved.
When she returned to her small wooden house, Qi Lan was restless. Xiao Ruyi saw that Qi Lan seemed to be in a bad mood, so she rarely made trouble and sat in front of her.
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Ruyi poked Qi Lan's little face. Qi Lan forced a smile and touched her head: "It's okay, I'm just a little confused."
"Mom is not worried about Daddy?"
Qi Lan didn't say anything, Ruyi shook her hand indifferently: "Don't worry, mom, Dad is a famous general in the world. When anyone can defeat him today, there will be no problem."
Qi Lan was in a state of confusion. She always felt that Han Xin suddenly left at this moment, and things would not be so simple. At this moment, Ruyi suddenly stopped talking. He stared at Qi Lan behind: "Hey, what is that, so many people."
Qi Lan was shocked suddenly, and she stood up and turned around. A large number of troops suddenly rushed into the plum garden. They quickly surrounded the entire plum garden and were on standby. Qi Lan looked behind them, and her whole body suddenly disappeared from blood.
Liu Ji walked slowly in a yellow robe and purple gold crown. His face had traces of time, but his eyes were still bright. Liu Ji walked straight towards her, and his eyes, which should have been affectionate, brought a little cold at this moment. The domineering aura of king made Qi Lan feel extremely strange, but sad.
"Qiqi, long time no see." Liu Ji walked in front of him, touched Qi Lan's jaw with cold fingertips, and used a little force, forcing Qi Lan to raise her head. Qi Lan's eyes had nowhere to hide, so she had to meet his sight.
"I haven't seen you for many years, you are still so beautiful and charming." Liu Ji's fingertips slightly, pinching Qi Lan a little painful. She raised her hand, shook Liu Ji's fingers away, and took several steps back.
"Bold! You dare to be unreasonable to Your Majesty!" The head guard drew out the knife, and the guards behind him drew out the knife, and the bright blade pointed at her, giving out a cold air.
Qi Lan turned her face and bit her lips without saying anything. Maybe she knew that there would be such a day, but she didn't expect that this day would come so suddenly, which made her unprepared. Liu Ji looked at her side face, and a trace of unbearableness flashed across her eyes, but Qi Lan's next words made him feel like he was in an ice cellar.
"Minister Qi Lan, see Your Majesty."
The cold words penetrated into Liu Ji's heart like a dagger with venom. Liu Ji's heart hurt hard. He looked at Qi Lan's figure coldly, and his eyes sank.
"Do you have to talk to me like this?"
Qi Lan pursed her lips and didn't say anything, Liu Ji's face became colder: "Very good."
He turned around and said to the soldiers: "Mrs. I was separated from the people due to war. I will now return to Chang'an Palace and be named Mrs. Qi. I will announce it to the world."
"Yes!" The soldiers knelt down and bowed: "Welcome to Mrs. Qi back to the palace!"
Qi Lan's face was gone. She knew that as soon as she entered Chang'an Palace, everything would be over. She finally knew why Han Xin was going to lead his troops to the battle at this moment. Liu Ji had already known everything. This was a game he set up, a dead end that forced her into a desperate situation.
