Chapter 170:
Reunited after a long absence, the beloved wife is pregnant. All the hard work on the road was swept away. Li Mu's joy is indescribable.
It was getting dark soon, and the two had eaten together. He held her hand, and was about to take a walk by the river to digest food, when he suddenly saw a red light in the distance, north of Jiankang City.
The city seems to be on fire!
After a while, the exact news was passed to the two of them.
The palace was on fire. The first palace to catch fire was where Gao Yongrong was.
"...General Gao has dispatched manpower to put out the fire urgently, and ordered the villain to come here to inform Da Sima and his wife. The fire is too big, and the queen mother... has died in the apse of the Taichu Palace..."
The messenger knelt there, bowed his head, and stopped.
Li Mu quickly glanced at Luoshen and asked for details.
The man said: "According to the clan who escaped the fire, the Queen Mother secretly summoned a few of him to enter the palace tonight. After she went, she realized that she was planning to harm the Great Sima. Liu Shizhong also went with him. Liu Shizhong was disrespectful and provoked. The queen mother was unhappy, and was mocked by Liu Shizhong again. The queen mother was furious, took out a pre-hidden dagger, and stabbed Liu Shizhong indiscriminately. They fled in fear, and then the apse caught fire..."
"The palace servants were previously ordered not to approach. When a fire was discovered, I heard the voice of the queen mother calling for help, but the fire was so big that I couldn't get in..."
The man was still talking, Luoshen stared at the red light that seemed to be beating in the distant night, and was stunned.
A hand quietly stretched out from the side and took her hand.
Luoshen regained his senses, turned his face to look at Li Mu, saw him looking at him, with a hint of worry in his eyes, suppressed the shock in his heart caused by the sudden news, and calmed down: "I'm fine, don't worry about me... "
Having said that, thinking of the sisters who had been with each other from childhood to adulthood, an indescribable feeling of sadness still poured out of my heart, and I fell silent.
Li Mu took her into his arms, patted her on the back comfortably, and said in a low voice, "I'll take you back to your room first, and I'll go to the city to see." The house put her on the bed, covered her with the quilt, ordered the maid to accompany her, and hurried away.
Luoshen couldn't sleep, and couldn't settle down. He woke up and waited. The next morning, Li Mu finally came back.
He arrived yesterday. He had been sleeping in the open air before, and he had been working hard without much rest. This happened again last night. I am afraid he was already exhausted. When he saw him back, he got up in a hurry, asked him if he was hungry, and asked someone to pass the meal.
Li Mu's eyes were bloodshot, he shook his head, helped her lie down, and told her to rest again.
Luoshen summoned his courage and asked about the fire in the palace.
Last night, the fire that started in the apse of Taichu Palace, with the help of wind, the fire was very fierce, it burned all night, and it was finally extinguished at the fifth watch.
The fire not only destroyed the entire Taichu Palace, but also spread to several nearby palaces.
This is second.
When cleaning up the ruins of the apse of the Taichu Palace, I found two charred corpses that were tightly twisted together. It is not difficult to judge from the clothes, one is Liu Hui, and the other is Gao Yongrong.
Looking at the posture, it was obvious that after the fire, Gao Yongrong wanted to escape, but was dragged by Liu Hui, who was unwilling to die alone, and the two of them died in the fire.
Li Mu pondered for a while, and finally concealed the details, only saying that the fire had been extinguished, and Gao Yongrong had unfortunately passed away.
Luo Shen was silent for a moment, then said, "My sis, there must be a lot of resentment before death, right?"
Li Mu comforted: "Don't be sad. Don't worry, I will bury her according to the etiquette."
Luoshen thanked Li Mu and smiled at him again.
"Lang Jun, you don't have to worry about me either. I'm really sad that my sister died like this, but don't worry, I know what to do."
She sighed.
"Elder sister went like this, but it reminded me of another person."
"Murong occupied Jiankang for the day, humiliated you with me, and then died like that, how similar to my elder sister."
"My elder sister, who was determined to hold on to power, almost killed Jiankang City and the people in the city. Murong was obsessed with revenge, and for her own pain and humiliation, she wanted people in Quanguanzhong, and even the whole world, to be buried with them. In their opinion , No matter what they do, even if they are angry and resentful, they still have reasons to convince themselves. They don't know that the pain and hatred that someone in this world has suffered is not under them. But that person will not be He took his own pain and hatred and inflicted it on others."
"If your heart is filled with hatred or desire, even if you have become the supreme emperor in the world, you will not be able to satisfy it. It is not someone else's fault for them to end up like this, but their own fault."
"I'm so lucky. My husband is someone who is completely different from them."
She raised her eyes and stared at Li Mu, word for word.
From the bottom of Li Mu's heart, there was a burst of warmth, and he embraced Luoshen in his arms, holding him for a long time, unwilling to let go.
…
Luoshen accompanied Li Mu, slept for a long time, woke up at dusk, the sun was slanting west, and half of the room was stained with gold.
The ear is so quiet, only the sound of even breathing from the person beside the pillow.
She opened her eyes slowly.
He was so tired that he was finally able to relax, and he was still soundly asleep at the moment, and he still hadn't woken up. But one hand held her hand tightly and still did not let go.
After holding it for too long, the place where the two palms touched was already oozing with a layer of hot flashes of sweat.
Luoshen did not wake him up, nor did he draw out his hand that was in his palm.
With a bit of laziness just woken up from sleep, she quietly leaned beside him, feeling the warmth of the air that carried his body temperature. In a trance, time seemed to be reversed, back to that year in Yicheng. that evening.
When she first arrived, she encountered a siege. It was also such a twilight that slanted the whole house. She went back to the house and saw that he, who had returned from exhaustion, was lying on a table in order not to soil her bed, and fell into a deep sleep. After several hesitations, when she approached to cover him, he held her hand, and she lay on his chest.
It has been many years, but the quiet evening when he held hands with him still feels like it was yesterday.
Luo couldn't help but leaned closer to the man beside him, and suddenly felt an arm on his waist, wrapped her around her, and led her gently.
Then, a large palm with a fiery temperature was carefully attached to her bulging belly and gently stroked.
He woke up.
Luo Shen stretched out an arm and wrapped his arms around his neck.
Li Mu kissed her gently and lingeringly, and it took a long time to let go. The two pressed their foreheads against each other, panting slightly. Luoshen heard him whisper in his ear: "Ami, thank you very much."
Luoshen opened his eyes, looked at him for a moment, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised: "What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for knowing me."
"These days, on the way back, I have been thinking, you once told me that you want to be the queen of this world."
"Ami, you are here to fulfill me, so that I can have no worries, isn't it?"
Luo Shen smiled, leaned over and kissed him lightly, saying, "Is it what I think or you think, what does it matter? You have given way too much for me. I already knew that in this world, there is no one better than you. More qualified to King's Landing."
"Lang Jun, I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Now it's finally here, and I'm very happy."
Li Mu stared at her and slowly tightened his arms around her.
It was getting dark, and Li Mu was afraid that she would be hungry, so he got up and dressed. After the two had dinner together, Li Mu held her hand and walked slowly to the river bank.
A bright and bright moon rises slowly from the heart of the river, the spring tide rises darkly by the river, and the shadows of flowers are hazy. Luoshen leaned on Li Mu's side, sitting in the riverside pavilion, listening to the sound of tidal waves in the distance, in his mind, the image that flashed when he fell into the pool that day appeared in his mind.
A long time ago, at this place under my feet, it was also this tide that mercilessly swallowed up a woman walking towards it.
How unfortunate she is, and how lucky she is.
"Ami, what are you thinking?"
Li Mu's palm gently wrapped around her waist, kissed her earlobe, and asked her vaguely.
Luoshen turned his head, stared at the man under the moonlight, and said with a smile: "I'm thinking, my lord, he will not only bring peace to the world, but in the future, he will definitely be a wise king who can rule the world."
Li Mu was startled, then smiled and said, "Ami, there is something I want you to know."
"The title of the country is set to 'Success'. I want to make Chang'an the capital. What do you think?"
This upcoming new unified dynasty takes "Cheng" as the country's title, and I think it is to remember the past when the two of them became home with righteousness.
Compared with Jiankang, Guanzhong Chang'an is indeed more suitable as the capital of a big country.
She nodded and said, "Changzhi Yong'an is for Chang'an. May Dacheng never suffer from hunger and discouragement from now on in a peaceful and prosperous world, just like the name of Chang'an, Changzhi Yongan."
Li Mu laughed, and the laughter was full of pleasure.
He took her hand, stood in the Jiangting, and faced Jiangbei Road: "Throughout the ages, there are only those who can survive forever and never give up. Only these stern rivers and mountains, spring rivers and autumn moons. With the love of God, let me get what I want in my life, In the future, if you do your best to seek peace in the world, you will have no regrets."
Luoshen smiled and said, "Yes, yes, your majesty, the founder of the country, is wise and wise, and you can say anything. It's better to be the first to meet your majesty, okay?" Saying that, Yingying wanted to bow down, but Li Mu grabbed it. pick up.
"Ami, I just said what I said, and I have to add one more."
He gradually stopped smiling, and his expression turned solemn, looking at the smiling face in his arms.
"I, Li Mu, have the same heart for you as Jiang Yue, and it will last forever. If there is another life, another life, life after life, Li Mu would like to be the young man you saved back then."
"Ami, are you willing to save him again before passing him next time?"
Luoshen looked at him, his eyes slowly swelled.
Looking back in time, who would have known that the indissoluble bond between the two lifetimes was formed when the inadvertent glance back when I was young?
At this moment, her husband is promising her his life after life - if this world, there will be life after life, and there will be endless reincarnation.
She took the hand he put on her waist, raised it, spread it out finger by finger, and brought it to her lips.
"No matter how many times, I will."
She said, bowing her head, and kissing him on his scarred palm.
