The prince really doesn't want to fight

Cuilan found a lotus pond at the back of the inn, full of lotus flowers, very beautiful, so she insisted on asking Wei Ji to take her to pick the lotus.Therefore, Wei Ji asked Yin Zhen to prepare wine and snacks, and at night took Qin Xuanyue and Cuilan to a gazebo by the lotus pond to enjoy the moon and flowers.On a summer night, the moonlight pours like water, and the lotus in the pond is covered with the moon's brilliance, giving birth to a different kind of charm.The lotus pond was full of frogs, noisy but reassuring. Wei Ji thought how nice it would be to have Qin Xuanyue by his side and keep quiet like this.

Cuilan asked Yin Zhen to fly into the water to pick a few beautiful lotus flowers and a few mature edible lotus pods for her. She was overjoyed at first, and yelled for Wei Ji to take her to the lotus pond as well. Wei Ji threatened her by saying: There was a biting water snake in the lotus pond, so she didn't dare to make any noise.But Cuilan's temperament is just like a child's now, she will get tired of playing and sleepy after a while, Wei Ji sent Yin Zhen to take her back to the room to rest.Only him and Qin Xuanyue were left alone in the pavilion, like all lovers in love, the time alone always makes people feel ambiguous, Wei Ji hugged her into his arms, staring at her crystal clear rosy lips, small and beautiful Full and full, outlining soft and smooth lines.He swallowed, lowered his head and prepared to kiss deeply.Suddenly, he felt a chill on his neck, and Shang Lu's cold voice sounded in his ears.

"My lord, I'm sorry! I ruined your love affair, and I will avenge the whole family tonight! I will send you to meet the King of Hades!" Shang Lu put the coldly shining sword on Wei Ji's neck.

"Miss Shang, do you really think that the person who killed your whole family was King Li?" Qin Xuanyue got up from Wei Ji's arms unhurriedly, without any fear, and there was a chill in his eyes.

"What? This king killed your whole family?" Wei Ji was puzzled, he had never done such a cruel thing as killing his whole family.

"Isn't it?" Shang Lu said coldly.

"If I'm not mistaken, Miss Shang is Lin Ru, the daughter of former prime minister Lin Tongrong." Qin Xuanyue continued.

"So what if you guessed it? King Li must die today."

"Lin Tongrong's family was not killed by the prince. Use your brain to think about it. Why did the prince kill him? He is a minister who is absolutely loyal to the prince. What good does killing him do to the prince? If it was really killed by the prince, the emperor will not kill him." Thorough investigation to the end?"

"He was just afraid that he would be involved too much in the rebellion, so he killed my father to silence him. The prince and the emperor are brothers, so he will naturally show mercy to his subordinates."

"Hmph! You really think too well of my brother! Will he be merciful? He wishes I could die sooner. Besides, do you really believe that your father rebelled with me?" At this time, Wei Ji's neck It has been cut by the lowered sword edge, and blood is obviously oozing out.

"Needless to say! Today I'm here to take your dog's life! Take it to death!" Shang Lu was about to use all her strength when Qin Xuanyue grabbed the blade of the sword, and the sharp blade cut through her palm, causing blood to flow.Shang Lu was shocked by her act of catching the sword with her bare hands, and was stunned for a moment.Seeing that Qin Xuanyue's hand was injured, Wei Ji quickly grabbed her hand, tore off his clothes and bandaged her.

"Miss Shang, if the prince really wanted to be emperor, why did he give up the right of succession to the current emperor, and then rebelled again. This is clearly because the emperor wanted to get rid of the prince, so he killed Prime Minister Lin's family and blamed the prince. Don't you see?" Won't you come out?" Qin Xuanyue continued.

"Hmph! Who knows if the prince later regretted giving up the throne? Just ask how many people in the world don't want to hold the imperial power."

"What if this king is a woman?" Wei Ji said calmly.

"Impossible! If it's a woman, you... how could you... you can do that? I saw you clearly just now, looking shameless." Shang Lu didn't believe Wei Ji's words at all, so what if he was a woman He can hang out with Qin Xuanyue, and Wei Ji has molested her many times, how can a woman do such a thing to a woman.

"Believe it or not, this king is a woman. At the beginning, my mother prevented me from ascending the throne because I was a woman. In fact, my father only gave birth to a son, the emperor's brother, and I was just lied by my mother after I was born. Prince. Although I am a descendant, as a woman, I cannot inherit the throne, so the queen mother will let me give up the throne and ask my brother to take his place." Wei Ji said slowly.

"No...impossible!"

"Your father wanted to help me ascend the throne at the beginning, but I couldn't do what he wanted. In the end, your whole family was killed by the emperor's brother. Although the prime minister's family was not killed by me, they died because of me. If you must find me Take revenge, then kill me, and I won't complain." Wei Ji knew that although Lin Tongrong was not killed by him, he died because of him.

"No...no...possible. You can't be a woman, you lied to me, you just want me to let you go!" Shang Lu obviously couldn't accept Wei Ji's words.

"If you don't believe me, I can take it off for you to see." Wei Ji was about to undo his clothes.

"Why? Why is it like this?" Seeing that Wei Ji was about to unbutton his clothes, Shang Lu couldn't accept it for a while, too much information flooded into his head.During his lifetime, his father always lamented that King Li was muddy and could not support the wall, but he did not expect that the prince he helped so hard was a princess.As for myself, the enemy I had been trying to kill for many years turned out to be a misunderstanding, and the murderer was someone else.

"My lord!" Yin Zhen hurried back to the pavilion after taking Cuilan back to her room to rest.Seeing Shang Lu holding a sword in his hand and about to assassinate Wei Ji, he was shocked and immediately drew his sword to protect the lord.Shang Lu had already given up on killing Wei Ji, but when he saw Yin Zhen coming, he flew away.

"My lord, are you okay!"

"I'm fine, go and get some medicine." He held Qin Xuanyue's hand tightly, carefully checking the injury.

"It was too dangerous just now, how could you just grab the sword with your hands? The blade is so sharp, if you hurt your hand, who will play the piano for me in the future?" Wei Ji blamed, he was really scared to death just now .

"It's okay! The wound is not deep, why are you nervous?" Qin Xuanyue smiled.

"What if, I mean, what if you get hurt? Anyway, you are not allowed to have anything to do, and you can't take such risks in the future." Wei Ji said hastily.

"Okay, okay." Qin Xuanyue really had nothing to do with him.I thought to myself, I don’t know when I became like a child?Silly.Could it be that he played too much with Cuilan?We can't let him be so close to Cuilan in the future.

On the second day, the guards sent by the emperor arrived at Yueyin Country and stood guard outside the inn.After they came, the people in the whole city knew that Wei Ji was no ordinary person, and it brought great inconvenience to his travel.Originally, he wanted to take Qin Xuanyue and Cuilan for a stroll around the city on the last day, but now he could only stay in the room and be bored.

At this time, in the palace, Emperor Wei Cong was playing and laughing with the maids, a scene of sensuality.He embraced from left to right, and was served by the maid, ordering the pretty half-dressed maid to serve him wine and food.

"Your Majesty, the guards have joined the prince." An eunuch came in to report.

"Okay! Good!" Hearing the news, Wei Cong was even more happy, grabbed the maid beside him, ignored the maid's resistance, and gnawed on his neck.

After Shang Lu knew the truth, he knew that he had committed a serious crime.Going against his master's order, insisting on assassinating King Li, admitting his wrong enemy, and killing his brother by mistake, he hurried back to Chongming Mountain to confess his guilt to his master Zhang Xu, and let him punish him.

"Master! This disciple knows that his sins are unforgivable, so he is willing to bear any punishment." Shang Lu knelt in front of Zhang Xu.

"Get up! All of this is doomed, and you can't be entirely blamed." Zhang Xu walked over and helped Shang Lu, who was full of tears. "Master knows that you have endured a lot these years, and you have kept the hatred in your heart. It is also because the master has not told you the truth. I think you already know the truth now."

"Tu'er already knows that the one who killed Tu'er's family is the current emperor!" Shang Lu said bitterly.

"Your father doesn't want you to take risks to avenge him, he just wants you to live your life in peace."

"Master, how do you tell me to let go of this blood feud? For more than ten years, the scene of that night has repeatedly appeared in my mind. The blood from my mother's neck stained the ground, and the sharp sword stabbed my father's In my chest... all of these things are impossible to get out of my mind."

"Your father and I used to be brothers who worshiped the master. He entrusted you to me to raise you before he was alive, and asked me not to tell you that the current emperor is the real murderer who killed your whole family. His insidiousness is unfathomable, and his power is even more powerful. You are alone Revenge will never succeed, it's just death. But now, you know that maybe this is God's will, and even a teacher can't stop you. Brother's death also has its own destiny, and I won't blame you too much as a teacher. From now on, as a teacher, I will not force you to stay on this mountain." Zhang Xu knew that no matter what, it would be difficult to dissolve the hatred in Shang Lu's heart, so he could only let her make her own decisions, follow the will of heaven, and observe the fate.

"Disciple is not filial!" She kowtowed three times in front of Zhang Xu, and then walked away without turning her head.

"Ru'er, if one day you don't want to take revenge, or if you don't want to take revenge, come back to the mountain." Zhang Xu said kindly, in fact, he had already regarded Shang Lu as his daughter in his heart.

The moment Shang Lu heard her master call her "Ru'er", she burst into tears. This name reminded her of her father, who used to call her "Ru'er, Ru'er".But she still didn't look back, she didn't want her master to see her vulnerable side, and she didn't want to weaken her desire for revenge.No matter how difficult revenge is, no matter how powerful the emperor is, she will kill him.

"Dong Rong, I can't stop many things. I can't stop myself from falling in love with the same girl as you, I can't stop the girl we love from marrying someone else, I can't stop you from dying. I can't stop Ru'er from insisting on revenge today. Maybe we shouldn't leave our hometown in the first place and go to the so-called prosperous capital. What realizes the ambition in our hearts, what shows the brilliance of life, everything is just passing away. Be with the one you love. Now, Ru'er's fate can only depend on her own, I hope you know, and you must bless her to come back safely." Looking at Shang Lu's leaving figure, Zhang Xu thought to himself.

After Shang Lu left Chongming Mountain, he didn't go directly to the palace to seek revenge from the emperor.I don't know why, but headed south all the way, towards Wei Ji's direction.She still rode her horse and galloped, traveling day and night, without delay on the road.
