general follow me

Qin Shu didn't say anything more, and walked towards Chenhua Palace with somewhat flustered steps.

Chen An wanted to stop him, but when he saw the person coming, he hesitated and opened the palace door, "Sir, keep your voice down, Master Liu said not to disturb the emperor."

"I see." Qin Shu stepped into the hall, and a plum fragrance came to his nostrils.

On the dragon bed, lay the young emperor quietly.

Qi Yu's face was pale, the sickness between his eyebrows and eyes had been solidified by death on his face, and his body was so thin that only bones remained.

In the censer next to the bed, the incense of plum blossoms was burning.

Every time Qin Shu took a step, his heart felt as if his heart was cut by a knife, dripping with blood, and he couldn't bear to look directly at it.

Qin Shu squatted down, and stroked Qi Yu's equally cold face with his cold fingers.

Xiaoyu, didn't you agree to give me a branch of plum blossom every year?

Xiaoyu, didn't you promise to stay with me all the time?

Why did you leave first?Why don't you wait for me?

I, I, I...

Qin Shu's heart felt like being hit by a heavy object, but the pain could not stop beating.Looking back on the past, he pushed Qi Yu away time and time again, and what he got in return was that Qi Yu relied on him even more and guarded him.

The taste of loss is really worse than death, like being pressed into the water, suffocating, but you have to endure it for life, you can't escape, you can't hide.

Xiaoyu, if I can do it again, I will definitely be with you and guard you.The family, the country, and the world are not as important as you.

If he was given another choice, he would definitely not choose to protect the mountains and rivers with blood, but to accompany him for a lifetime with love.

Holding Qi Yu's cold hand, Qin Shu buried his head on the edge of the bed, sobbing silently.

"Xiaoyu..."

The entire imperial palace was filled with a desolate atmosphere, no one dared to speak loudly, and they just stayed quietly with the sleeping emperor.Liu Ran and Shi Yu quietly walked towards Chenhua Palace.

"Now that things are going as you expected, what's next?" Shi Yu asked.

Liu Ran smiled, pretending to be mysterious, "Guess."

"Huh?" Shi Yu didn't react for a while, then smiled and sighed, "If I can guess what you are thinking, that would be great."

Knowing that Shi Yu remembered what happened to the Yunhai Underground Palace last time, Liu Ran was a little ashamed, "Ahem... Indeed, I have arranged everything in a safe manner. I don't know if King Xiu will show up for the funeral in a few days. But on that day, I still have to rely on the general, you must guard."

"There are things in this world that our Master Liu doesn't know?" Shi Yu slightly lowered his head and asked closer.

Liu Ran backed away unconsciously, blushing a little, then smiled and pretended to be puzzled, "The general has become more and more provocative recently, oops, I wonder if Liu Ran can hold on to this branch of red apricot in the future~!"

Shi Yu pursed her lips, and then said seriously, "...Recently, I'm in a good mood. Red apricot, I wonder if the other branch will like the scenery outside the garden?"

Why did you mention Xiu Wang again? !

Liu Ran raised his forehead, this general usually looks calm and calm, but he has been jealous for so long!

Liu Ran muttered in a low voice, "...Didn't you say that you are finally angry..."

Shi Yu snickered, looked at the Chenhua Palace not far away and asked, "Did Master Qin go in?"

"Well," Liu Ran nodded, "Let's see if Master Qin can get over the hurdle in his heart this time, although it may be a little painful."

"You plan to kill two birds with one stone, does the emperor know?"

"Hush," Liu Ran said in a low voice, "If he knows, he won't feel sorry for Mr. Qin who killed him. I'm doing it on my own, but it's not a solution for the two of them to keep doing this." When he approached and listened, he heard Qin Shu Sobbing softly, Liu Ran smiled proudly at Shi Yu, "However, it turns out that my method is quite effective!"

Shi Yu smiled, "You! You are the smartest."

"Thank you for the compliment!" Liu Ran was not polite, and then whispered to Chen An, "Open the door!"

Chen'an nodded, in fact, he hadn't spoken since last night, instead he was a little worried, wondering if the emperor could hold on, even if he took the medicine given by the adults.

The moment he stepped into the hall, Liu Ran whispered in Chen'an's ear, "By the way, Xiaoding was looking for you intentionally or unintentionally."

Chen'an blushed all of a sudden.

Liu Ran joked, "Have you had a fight?"

"No, it's not."

Chen An shyly denied it, he was just a little upset, Xiao Ding cared too much for Hong Lian, which made him feel a feeling that he had never felt before.

Liu Ran has never seen so many expressions on Chen'an's usual cold face.Sighing, Liu Ran said, "I'll go in first."

"Okay...Okay, okay." Chen'an hurriedly turned his back to the palace door.

Shi Yu was a little helpless, "Why do you like to take care of everything?"

"What's the matter?" Liu Ran said solemnly, "This is my own business."

In the sleeping hall, Qin Shu held Qi Yu's hand and collapsed on the ground beside the bed. The tears on his face were still wet, and his eyes were dull, staring blankly at Qi Yu who was sleeping peacefully on the bed.

"Master Qin." Liu Ran suddenly changed his tone of indifference at this time, "Since I have already decided to leave him, what's the point of doing this now?!" Said, she stepped forward and separated Qin Shu's hand.

Qin Shu ignored Liu Ran, just raised his hand, and continued to hold Qi Yu.

Seeing this, Liu Ran stepped forward and grabbed Qin Shu's wrist and said sternly, "Master Qin, you didn't cherish it when you were alive, what are you doing here after death? Are cats crying and mice pretending to be merciful?! Giving your feelings?! Or is it Want to create an involuntary image?

Didn't you resign?Resign casually, willing to watch him become queen?Don't you think he is sad!Originally thought that you would still have a little affection for him, but never thought of being so cowardly, how ridiculous!

Do you know how sad he was when he heard that you were indifferent after Li? !Do you know that when you are dying of illness, you will see your resignation letter!You know, he doesn't want you to come back to know about his condition, blocks the news, and even directly wants you to retire in Jiangzhou!You know how much pressure he is under, all the things are piled up, and he is in a hurry, he could have saved it so early..."

I wanted to wake up Qin Shu, and said something embellished, but when I really said it, Liu Ran became more and more annoyed, a little bit aggrieved by Qi Yu.

After calming down, Liu Ran said slowly, "Lord Qin, let's go early after watching the emperor. The mage has already entered the palace, and the funeral ceremony will be held in the next few days, so Lord Qin should go back to the house early to prepare!"

Qin Shu sneered, and shook off Liu Ran's hand, with a trace of hatred in his eyes, "I still want to ask you, I ask you, one is a general with outstanding martial arts, and the other is a genius doctor with wonderful hands and rejuvenation. Liu Qi is so blatant Why did you guys react when you were poisoned? After being poisoned, why couldn’t you save me? Is it just my fault for everything!” Ask Liu Ran, ask and push, the strength is getting stronger and stronger , causing Liu Ran to stagger a little.For the last sentence, fortunately, Shi Yu stood in front of Liu Ran in time, grabbed Qin Shu's hand lightly and forcefully, and warned coldly, "Master Qin, don't vent your anger casually."

Then he threw Qin Shu's hand hard, causing Qin Shu to lose his footing and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The more Liu Ran thought about it, the more angry he became. Has the young man learned to shirk responsibility? !

"You want to investigate the poisoning?! Well, I'll tell you!" Liu Ran's voice was full of anger, and she directly called out Qi Yu's name, "It's because of your resignation that Qi Yu wanted to stay but couldn't." Leaving you by my side, the toxin quickly invaded my heart, and I was powerless to recover! After taking my medicine, I was about to get better, but a resignation memorial made me fall short?"

Liu Ran said indifferently, "Chen'an!"

Chen'an came in immediately, and whispered, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"Bring Mr. Qin back to the mansion, and you won't have to enter the palace to do rituals these few days!" Liu Ran didn't look at Qin Shu's surprised eyes.

"What right do you have to not let me enter the palace?!" Qin Shu was also a little angry now, wanting to go up to argue with Liu Ran, "I will never leave today! I will guard him until the last moment. "

"I'll answer your question now, this is the qualification!" Liu Ran stuffed the jade tablet into Qin Shu's hand, "Similarly, I also ask you, what qualifications do you have to stay here?!"

"Whether you are qualified to stay here is not up to you." Qin Shu stroked the jade plaque with his fingers, like stroking a rare treasure.

But if you guard, they can't do anything!

Liu Ran had no choice but to tug on Shi Yu's clothes slightly, and winked, signaling Shi Yu to do it.

Shi Yu patted Liu Ran on the shoulder, and knocked Qin Shu unconscious with one step forward.

"What's next?" Shi Yu asked while supporting Qin Shu.

"Let's ensure his safety in the next few days. Dust is safe," Liu Ran ordered, "Send Master Qin back to the mansion and watch him closely until Qi Yu is buried."

"Yes."

Qi Yu was wearing a golden jade dress, with a gold ring on his slender and fair fingers, and a huge jade bead was put in his mouth.Liu Ran couldn't help shaking her head and sighed, this little emperor pursued simplicity and simplicity during his lifetime, and no one would associate him with the emperor in casual clothes.After putting it outside to die, he finally realized wearing gold and silver for a time, elegant and luxurious, really like an emperor.

"Master Liu." A benevolent monk bowed to Liu Ran.

This is Master Purdue in Sifang Temple. Because of Qi's compassionate heart, he is respected by many people. Liu Ran also goes to Sifang Temple to offer incense and worship Buddha from time to time.But today, when Liu Ran looked carefully, she felt that there was something strange about Pudu.

"Master Purdue," Liu Ran also returned a salute,

Suddenly, he saw some injuries on Pudu's hands that were different from ordinary people, and asked with concern, "Master, your hand...?"

"Oh, it's okay, it's just that I accidentally scratched it." Pudu retracted his hand into the cassock.

"Oh, master, you should be more careful at ordinary times," Liu Ran smiled.

"In the next three days, I will trouble Master to chant scriptures day and night."

"I don't dare, thank you for your concern." Pudu smiled, "The emperor is concerned about the country and the people. It is a blessing for me to pray for the emperor. I don't know if the emperor's posthumous title has been decided, and I will read the corresponding scriptures later. "

"The incident happened suddenly, and I haven't asked the ceremonial officer for it yet." Liu Ran said, "The emperor's kindness and love for the people during his lifetime should belong to 'wen'. Master, let's press 'wen' first."

Purdue hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright."

Purdue sat cross-legged with a pious expression on his face.But Liu Ran just felt that something was wrong, and couldn't tell what was wrong, so she couldn't help but look at Pudu a few more times, and then left.

In the barracks, the drills for the recruits had long since ceased. They took off their armor and put on thin mourning clothes.

Shi Yu practiced arrows in the backyard and hit the bull's-eye one by one.Liu Ran walked in cautiously, wanting to tease Shi Yu, but Shi Yu had already noticed, "You have to look at it openly, why are you sneaking around."

Liu Ran smiled and said, "The general is practicing archery, how dare I disturb you more."

"Is everything arranged properly?" Shi Yu opened his bow.

"Well," Liu Ran played with an arrow boredly, "It's all arranged. I also sent Ban Ming and Gui Ping to Qin Shu's place to watch. Now that I know my heart, I will go to the imperial mausoleum." There is no need to let him come, otherwise, judging from the current state of mind, I don't know what will happen. After all, there is an unconscious guy sleeping in the coffin, and if something happens, it will be too late. "

"Um,"

With a sound of 'whoosh', Yu's arrow hit the bull's-eye again, and Shi Yu looked at his result with satisfaction.

"Oh! The general is worthy of being a general, he hits the target every time~" Liu Ran praised while leaning on the small square platform.

"Do you want to try?" Shi Yu handed over the bow.

Liu Ran was very interested, nodded and took the bow, "Wow!" Standing in the place where Shi Yu had just been, she looked very decent.Liu Ran took a deep breath, and pulled back the bowstring with the other hand.

The bowstring did not move.

Um? !Liu Ran tried again, but still couldn't pull it a little bit.

Hey, he doesn't believe it, he still can't heal a bow? !

Liu Ran held her breath, concentrating all her strength on her hand, and pulled it back hard.

Well, it moved, it really moved for half a minute.

Shi Yu pursed his lips and smiled, which made Liu Ran a little embarrassed, "I'll forget it, it's not this material." Just as he was about to turn around, Shi Yu covered up and surrounded Liu Ran.

Shi Yu's hand was placed on Liu Ran's, and he placed an arrow casually, gently teaching Liu Ran to move.The knuckle fingers wrapped his hand forcefully with a familiar temperature, pulled it lightly, and then loosened it suddenly.

Feather Arrow seemed to be endowed with a powerful force, and with a 'swish' sound, it hit the bull's-eye again.

Liu Ran praised sincerely, "It's really a superb arrow technique, I admire it!"

Shi Yu smiled softly, "Archery is not only about strength, but also skill. Brute force is not suitable." After finishing speaking, he took another arrow to the string.

Liu Ran suddenly caught sight of some scars on Shiyu's hand, so she let go of Shiyu's hand and asked, "Why is your hand hurt?"

"It's okay," Shi Yu said, "It's commonplace to get injured twice in three days in the barracks. It's been dealt with, don't worry."

Liu Ran let go of her hand, "That's good." But suddenly remembered that Pudu had a similar wound on his hand, and asked with some doubts, "What kind of wound is this, do you remember?"

"Let me think about it, things are a bit complicated." Shi Yu also looked at the injury on his hand, "If I remember correctly, it should be that I accidentally crossed the arrow with my hand a few days ago."

Liu Ran looked at the feather arrow next to her in a blink of an eye, picked up one and looked at it carefully.

Shi Yu explained, "The cross-feathered arrows are unique to the military. This is an old batch, and there are new ones. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

Purdue's hand was indeed injured by Feather Arrow.How can a monk get military wounds on his hands?

Liu Ran suddenly remembered that although he had gone to Sifang Temple to pray for blessings before, he had never met Pudu.It was the first time Pudu saw him today, why did he know that his surname was Liu, and why did he know that he was still an official?

"Xiao Ran?" Shi Yu called out.

"Well," Liu Ran smiled, "General, the fish is hooked."
