brother bone

"Who?" Butler Tong was sharp when he was talking, and when he heard the voice, he immediately stood up vigilantly, "Who is there?"

Looking at the past, but when he saw the people walking in the corridor, Butler Tong's eyes widened in disbelief.

Compatibility is not as vigilant as Butler Tong, because it seems that nothing can arouse his inner turmoil. Probably for him, even becoming an assassin now is just the difference between things and speed.

But Xiang Rong never expected that what he saw when he turned his head was Xiang Yu.

Butler Tong dropped his knees and knelt down, and not far away Ruan An also knelt behind Xiang Yu.The government lanterns on the long corridor flickered, and the flickering lights and shadows lengthened the shadows. At this time, it seemed that only Xiang Rong and Xiang Yu remained in the whole long corridor.

He walked up to Xiang Rong in a state of desperation: "Then what about me?"

He lowered his head slowly: "Compatibility...have you ever thought about me?"

Under the dim yellow light, Zhuang Rong saw a tear-filled, extremely sad face, Zhu Rong was suffocated, his throat was hoarse, and he couldn't say a single word.

Xiang Yu's trembling voice was heartbreaking: "I have been waiting for you in this tomb-like Changling City for five full years. Compatibility, do you know how I survived these five years day by day?"

Originally, they were the closest people in the world, why did they suddenly change, everything was fine at first, why did it all turn out like this!

"Why did you lie to me?" Xiang Yu's pupils trembled, and tears rolled down from his blood-red eyes, like blood dripping.He stretched out his hands to hold Rong Rong's face, and said helplessly and painfully, "There has never been any Xiang Yue Ning, no Bai Qingjin, no marriage day, you lied to me."

"Five full years!"

Rong Rong's fingertips trembled, and he looked at him in astonishment.

Xiang Yu hated, he grasped his shoulders with both hands, his strength was so great that he wanted to crush his bones: "Xiang Rong, do you know that the collapse of the Ning clan was an accident? It was just an accident!"

Accident, the so-called accident means that there is only one possibility in a million.No one thought that the Ning family would collapse, because this snow started with a heavy snow that had not happened in decades.

But... If it wasn't for this heavy snowfall, the Ning clan would never have collapsed, so it would mean that he would never know about it until he died.

Xiang Yu was in extreme pain: "How long do you want to hide it from me? If there hadn't been this snow, if the Ning clan hadn't collapsed, wouldn't you...would you never have spoken?"

Xiang Rong met Shang Xiang Yu's eyes, pondered for a moment, and only heard him answer after a while: "Yes."

If this accident happens, he will definitely keep it from Xiang Yu for the rest of his life, until he dies and then take this secret into the coffin, and never let Xiang Yu know the slightest bit.

"Why..." Xiang Yu immediately asked him, but was interrupted by Rong Rong unexpectedly, "What if it was you instead?"

Compatibility looked into his eyes seriously: "If it were you, what would you do, would you tell me?"

Rong Rong didn't directly answer his reason, but gently asked him back.

In fact, this question was in front of the two of them, and no one would nod, because the two of them had already made a choice in the tragic fire at that time.

One concealed the massacre, and the other betrayed the world and created a dream. They did two different things, and these two things came out of the same choice.

Xiang Yu was shocked all over.

"You would do the same, wouldn't you?"

The deepest love is the deepest pain, it is because he clearly knows this, and Rongrong clearly knows how much Xiang Yu wants to protect him, so Xiang Rong back then chose to hide it without hesitation.

He wove a huge lie to deceive Xiang Yu. In this lie, he betrayed Xiang Yu and left him, but even if he left Xiang Yu, he was still fine. The compatibility in this lie was protected by Xiang Yu, not by Xiang Yu. As it is now, too broken to pick up.

Xiang Yu's pain was so painful that it was so painful that every brick in his heart would not collapse.

In the wind and snow, there was only a bang, and the tall body of the Son of Heaven fell down like a mountain, completely collapsing, and knelt down in front of Xiang Rong helplessly and desperately, grabbing the corner of Xiang Yu's clothes like a child, and hiding under Xiang Rong's thin Weeping on his knees.

Xiang Rong didn't know how to comfort Xiang Yu, he stretched out his hands, palming the back of his neck with one hand, and stroking his head with the other.He gently caressed her up and down: "Xiang Yu, actually, I dreamed of them that night when the Ning family collapsed."

Thinking back, Xiangrong said to her slowly: "That night I saw Huai Yu, Huai Yan, uncle and aunt, and many, many people. They told me that they should go. I wanted to catch up, but Huai Yu stopped me, and he said they had forgiven me."

"I didn't see them this evening, and I know they're really gone and won't be coming back."

Xiang Rong's hand caressing Xiang Yu's head stopped, and he slowly raised his head, looking far, far away, he saw that the snow under the corridor seemed to have stopped.

"Xiang Yu, let me go back to Jiangnan."

The man kneeling in front of him froze suddenly.

"I have no choice but to stay in Changling City. Go a little farther away, maybe I won't think about things here often. The small city in the south of the Yangtze River is very good, and Yue Ning really wants to go back."

Xiang Yu didn't look up.

He didn't dare to raise his head, didn't dare to see what kind of expression Xiangrong used to say this sentence.

He didn't hear Xiang Yu's answer, Xiang Rong sighed, and wanted to continue persuading him, but the corner of his sleeve was pulled up, Xiang Rong looked down, he saw Xiang Yu's hand holding the sleeve was trembling Clenched tightly, and then he heard a choked voice: "Please..."

There is no other way, Xiang Yu is the one who is broken, he can't raise his voice, he hardly has the courage to breathe: "Tolerance... I beg you, can you hold on for one last time for me."

Don't leave me, don't leave me.

don't leave me here alone...

For Xiangrong, the world is so hard, walking is difficult, and every day is endless suffering. In fact, he clearly knows that for Zhuangrong, the best thing is to get rid of it earlier, but now he is selfishly thinking about it. He stays.

"Otherwise I will die..."

A long night.

After this night, the snow this winter finally stopped at dawn.

In the end, Xiang Yu agreed to Rong Rong and let him go back to Jiangnan.

Xiang Rong left on the day when the snow in Changling City had completely melted. On the day he left, Xiang Yu did not send him off, and he did not arrange anyone to guard Rong Rong. He only sent a few shadow guards to escort them, waiting for them to be sent safely. The Shadow Guards in Suzhou City will come back.

The carriage swayed, another parting.

Afterwards, Ruan An, who went to the city gate to see him off for him, came back and told him: "Your Majesty, the prince has already left the city."

At that time, Xiang Yu was standing in the small pavilion in the backyard of Prince Huai's mansion.The spring breeze blows through the branches, and the pear blossoms in Changling City are about to bloom.

He stared at the branches without speaking.

On the other hand, Ruan An, with lingering fears in his heart, said worriedly: "Your Majesty, let the shadow guard stay by Wang Ye's side and take care of him."

"No need." He said lightly, "He promised me, and he won't go back on his word."

"Even if you regret it, it doesn't matter. He and I will always go together."

He had already drawn up an imperial edict to pass on the throne and put it in the upright state. If he died, this imperial edict would also explain the great world behind him.

It was March when Rong Rong left, and it was not until June that the shadow guards who escorted them returned to Changling City. At the same time, they brought back a letter from Rong Rong to him.

In the letter, he told him that he was safe, and besides that, the letter also included a doctor's order written by the doctor when he was taking his pulse, and a few pear blossom petals that Xiang Rong put in by himself two months ago.

Inscribed—Jiangnan Sucheng South Third Street Bridge South Lane.

The life of an emperor is very short, but state affairs make every day very long.There are countless things discussed in the Jinluan Palace, countless memorials in the Imperial Study Room, one thing after another among the ministers...

Xiang Yu was a diligent emperor, but he became even more diligent after Rong Rong left. In the third year of Rong Rong's departure, the excavation of the Grand Canal was discussed in the Golden Luan Hall.

There is still a clinging faction on the Golden Luan Temple, because the project of the canal is too huge, connecting the whole north and south, and radiating the whole Dai Viet. The most difficult thing is not the manpower, material and financial resources that need to be invested, but that the project involves too many people. Human hands, but human hearts are often unpredictable.

Once the wind of corruption is nourished, it will cause endless troubles in future generations.

The canal is not going to be dug right now, and it doesn’t have to be done here at Xiangyu. The emperor’s plan is far-reaching, and what Xiangyu is doing now is to create an excellent environment and get rid of all the blocking stones. Pave the way for future generations.

Zhuo Zhun would send letters every year, four letters a year covering spring, summer, autumn and winter, and each letter would be accompanied by a doctor's order, Zhu Rong's situation was getting better, although it was extremely slow, but it was indeed getting better.

Xiang Yu would reply to the letter, and I don't know if it's because he has grown older in recent years, and he couldn't suppress his temper. He wrote a good letter and criticized the group of ministers in the Jinluan Hall.

It's either that Chu Xingzhi from the Ministry of Household Affairs is simply clueless, or that he is stubborn in political affairs.The day before yesterday, the sons of two adults in the court had a private fight, but both of them were three-legged cats, and they were still crippled and broke their arms. The most important thing is that these two adults had the courage to sue him. Come on, he is the co-author to handle these trivial housework for them!

The things in the courtroom were unstoppable as soon as they were said, and the writing became more and more rushed. In the letter, Xiang Yu even wrote that Ruan Anduan's tea was too weak. It was not until the letter was finished that Xiang Yu suddenly realized: he Write to compatible letters, why write them?

So I tore it up and rewrote it.

At the beginning of winter, on the 11th, the No.[-] year when it was moved to Chonghe Palace.

In the morning, the palace servants called her to get up, put her makeup on in the mirror, the face in the mirror was no longer the same as before, her best years were over, she was old, her voice became hoarse, and she did not have the oriole song in a minor tune voice.

When the palace man combed her hair, she looked at herself in the mirror and stretched out her hand to pick a strand of hair from her ear.

It has turned gray.

The court lady skillfully combed all her gray hair into her back, and then asked her about her clothes today.She didn't like these bright colors at first, but that woman liked light and plain colors the most. She was obstinate, and from then on, the people in the room locked up all her plain clothes.

Today, she picked the amaranth one.

Just after finishing her makeup, a palace official came in to report to her, and he said that His Majesty came to pay her respects.

The emperor is busy with official duties, but he will come to Chonghe Palace to pay her respects on the first and fifteenth day of every month.

She was startled, and asked the palace man who was dressing her: "What day is today?"

"Go back to your mother, it's eleven today."

The palace man couldn't help but smiled, and reminded her: "Your Majesty forgot, in a few days and fifteen days, His Majesty the Fourteenth Highness will be appointed as the emperor's younger brother by His Majesty, and His Majesty will definitely discuss matters with His Majesty the Fourteenth. You negotiated."

That's right, she almost forgot that Xiao Shisi had already been registered as the emperor's younger brother. In a daze, she realized that her youngest son had grown up and was about to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.

In fact, in the past, the first emperor asked her by chance once, when the deposed prince had just been imprisoned.The harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, and the affairs of the Eastern Palace are related to the country. How could she be able to speak, so she naturally dared not answer.

"I forgive you for your innocence."

She hesitated for a while, then lowered her eyes and said: "The concubine is his mother. A mother naturally hopes that her child will be happy and happy all her life."

After hearing this, the first emperor paused for a moment, but did not speak.Since then, he never mentioned it again.

Sitting in the world and in charge of the country, the first emperor never managed to be successful and happy all his life.

The emperor was still waiting outside, and the palace servants were urging her after finishing her makeup, but she stopped suddenly when she stepped out of the threshold.

The palace man followed her gaze and looked out, and suddenly said pleasantly: "Your Majesty, it's snowing."

Yes, it’s snowing, and the sky is full of white goose flakes falling down layer by layer. This is the first snow this year

"Let's go."

The amaranth skirt brushed against the palace gate, and she walked into the flying snow, just like the day she was welcomed into the palace.

In the 12th year of Zhenyuan, Xia.

On August 26, the imperial concubine of Chonghe Palace passed away.

Guangjian 12 years, autumn.

On October [-]th, the emperor announced his abdication edict in the Jinluan Hall.
