Chapter 333 The Betrayal of the Marquis
Lan Ruoqing cleaned up a little and came to his mansion with the prince Yuli. Before he entered the gate, the mansion had shocked her. Not only that, there were even two bodyguards outside the gate.
She asked in disbelief, "Brother Beaver, is this really your home?"
"Yes, let's go in first!"
The prince Yucivet led Lan Ruoqing into his mansion. Through a courtyard, there was a square front hall. Behind the front hall was another courtyard. This courtyard was slightly smaller than the previous one, but it was full of green bamboo. The bamboo leaves swung lightly in the wind, which made them recall the past together in the silk bamboo post. The time spent.
Lan Ruoqing cast his empty eyes on the courtyard and said quietly, "After so many years, I didn't have any feeling about time before, but now when I look back, a hundred years are just a flick."
"How can I have more of these feelings? You were not like this before. You often laugh that I don't live happily enough, but now your troubles seem to be better than me. Wang Hou Yuli felt that Lan Ruoqing was different from the optimistic and cheerful woman in his memory. He couldn't help but feel a little sad, but then said, "I'll order the demon servants to prepare wine and dishes later. Since it's a long separation reunion, we should celebrate and celebrate. You can also tell me about what has happened over the years, and I will also Tell you who you are. Today, no matter what you ask me, I will know everything.
Lan Ruoqing followed the prince Yuli through the second courtyard and came to another hall. Wanghou Yuli ordered people to open all the doors facing the courtyard, and the two of them could enjoy the scenery in the courtyard while tasting tea. At the round table, they sat face to face, with their eyes intertwined. There seemed to be thousands of words, but they didn't know where to start.
In the end, the prince Yuli opened his mouth first. He said to Lan Ruoqing, "My real name is Yuli. I am a descendant of the giant beaver clan and the prince of this demon world. You have been hiding your true identity before, because it is rare for someone to talk to me like you. I'm afraid that once I tell you the truth, the friendship between you and me will change, but after such a long time, I still haven't found a chance to tell you the truth.
"In fact, from Brother Beaver... Ah, no, it's Brother Yuli's conversation that you must be noble. I don't expose you. It's the same reason as what you hide from me, and it's also because I enjoy this friendship with you." After saying that, Lan Ruoqing smiled faintly and lowered his head to take a sip of tea. I don't know if it was because of his mood, this cup of tea seemed particularly bitter.
"Can you tell me what has happened to you over the years? Why do you keep avoiding me?" Wanghou Yuli has long been unable to hold back many questions in his heart.
"I'd better wait for me to drink some wine later and talk to you slowly." Lan Ruoqing answered.
"It's okay!" After hearing this, Wanghou Yuli shouted out of the door, "Come on, bring up the good wine I collect and add some side dishes."
In just a while, three demon servants came in, put the wine and vegetables on the round table one by one, and then saluted and retreated. There was no sound in the whole process, which showed that they were well-trained on weekdays.
Wanghou Yuli filled Lan Ruoqing and himself with a glass of wine, and then raised his glass and said, "This cup, I salute you!"
Lan Ruoqing made a gentle touch with his glass, and then drank all the wine in the glass. After a few rounds of pushing cups to help, the sunset receded, and the crescent moon climbed up the branch. She finally told her experience after separating from the prince Yuli. She and her partner were childhood sweethearts, but later the man went to Wangcheng alone and joined the army. Later, he finally returned to his hometown, and the two naturally became a couple. They thought that a good life had begun, but he didn't expect that the nightmares would follow.
Her husband was wrongly defected to Qingyun for some reason, and sold him the information of Wangcheng's army. A group of soldiers rushed into their love nest, did not stop their explanation at all, and took her husband away. Pregnant, she simply packed her bags and planned to chase them to the royal city, but as soon as she arrived here, she heard that her husband had died on the way. She gave birth to a son when she had nowhere to vent her grievances and grief. Unexpectedly, her son was weak and sick since he was born, so he had to temporarily let go of his hatred and live in seclusion with his child.
After listening to her narration, the prince Yuli was also driven by her emotions and quickly asked, "What happened later? How is the child's condition?
"It hasn't been good. Just after my restless death, I met a master with excellent ability. He took my son with me and treated him. Although I can only meet him once a year, as long as he can live, I have nothing to complain about."
"Oh? If there is a chance, I will go with you to thank the master you mentioned. Your child has lost his father since he was a child, and I happen to have no children. This may be an opportunity for me to accept your child as an adopted son.
"I also mean that, but it's not easy to open my mouth."
"When is the next time you meet your child?"
"Just three days later, you will see him. I named him Lanzhu."
As soon as Wanghou Yuli heard that there was a bamboo word in the child's name, he was secretly happy. He guessed that Lan Ruoqing chose this name for him mostly to commemorate the fate that they met and knew each other at the Silk Bamboo Station, and he wanted to love the child more and more from the bottom of his heart.
But three days later, it was not only her son Lan Zhu who came to the royal civet with Lan Ruoqing. It was Qingyun himself who pretended to be a benefactor and swaggered into his mansion with them. He couldn't figure out how this person covered his eyes and sneaked into the royal city. How bold he was. How dare Come and see yourself directly.
Qingyun took off the hat on the cloak and showed his masked face. He looked around the first courtyard in the royal beaver mansion and said, "It's really a good place."
The prince Yuli answered angrily, "I seem to have an unwelcome guest here."
"Whether it is popular or not, please don't make a conclusion so quickly."
A burst of laughter came from behind Qingyun's mask. He didn't care about the anger expressed by the prince Yuli at all.
Although Lan Zhu is eight years old, he looks thinner than a child of the same age. His eyes are full of excitement and looks like his mother Lan Ruoqing. The prince Yuli looks at him and likes him in his heart, so he directly said to Qingyun, "In the future, this child will stay in my palace. You saved his life. I will let you go this time. Don't appear in front of me in the future.
"Do you think he can live without me? If I hadn't fed him my magic blood with elixir every few days, he would have died long ago. Now that he has become dependent on my magic blood, if you have to keep him, it is equivalent to giving him death. Qingyun said without hurry and turned to Lan Ruoqing, "Then I'll say goodbye!" In the future, the life and death of Lanzhu have nothing to do with me!"
Lan Ruoqing's face changed greatly after hearing this and pleaded repeatedly, "Nit't. If it goes on like this, I'm afraid my son won't live for more than three months."
When the prince Yuli saw that Lan Ruoqing had cried into tears, he had to stare at Qingyun and ask, "What kind of conditions do you old fox want to raise?"
"The child Lan Zhu has always been by my side. How can I be willing to save him? You only need to promise me one thing, and I will continue to live for him. Qingyun is no longer beating around the bush.
"What's the matter?!"
"In your mansion, build a secret road to the outside of the city for me."
"Are you going to use the secret channel to start a war against the royal city?"
"Whether I start a war or not, I promise you that I will never touch you and Lan Ruoqing. I know the friendship between you and her. When Lan Zhu is completely cured, the three of you can live together."
"How can I betray my own king as a prince of the demon world?"
"It doesn't matter. I have a lot of time to wait for you to make a new choice. Lanzhu will stay with you first. In less than half a month, you will come and beg me." After saying that, Qingyun went away.
As soon as he left, Lan Ruoqing, who couldn't stop crying, pulled his son Lan Zhu to kneel down to the prince Yuli and said to her, "I've never been so angry, but for my son, I had to beg for help. I finally had a chance to let him live, but now... I know that such a request embarrass you. But can you save my child for the sake of your two hundred-year-old confidants?
"Let me think about it again. In addition, I will send someone to find other ways to save Lanzhu."
Wanghou Yuli arranged the blue bamboo to live in his mansion, because considering that the environment here is much better than that of Lan Ruoqing's hotel, on the other hand, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to find other ways to treat the blue bamboo, but it was still fruitless for a few days.
At this time, Lan Zhu fell ill. Wang Hou Yuli finally saw how serious his illness was. When he fell ill, he not only had unbearable pain all over his body, but his limbs twitched, spit out white membranes in his mouth, and even curled up in pain. Even if the best doctor in Wangcheng was invited, after seeing his symptoms, he all came to the same conclusion. It was said that Lan Zhu would never live for three months.
Seeing that such a lovely child had to bear such pain, and Lan Ruoqing, who was once chic, was also depressed because of the child's illness. Wang Hou Yuli finally made up his mind to take a step towards darkness.
He agreed to Qingyun's conditions. After asking Qingyun to take the blue bamboo away, he began to quietly build a secret road in his mansion. On the day of the completion of the secret road, it happened to be the New Year's Eve, Wangcheng was attacked by Qingyun, and the Qingyun army was able to successfully enter the secret road used by Wangcheng on a large scale.
Although there has been no direct contact between Wanghou Yuli and Qingyun since then, he knows what kind of sin he has committed. This sin tortures him every day and night, and only when he sees the gradually healthy blue bamboo can his pain be slightly reduced. Some.
But that was only for a short time, because the more cruel thing was in front of him first. Lan Ruoqing's mother and son all turned to Qingyun, and because he could not cut off the friendship between the mother and son, it was worth continuing to keep the secrets of the secret passage in the city for them. He has always hoped that someone can investigate him, find out the traitor and sentence him to death. Only in this way can he not betray his feelings for Lan Ruoqing's mother and son, nor his original loyalty to the king's heart.
