Chapter 603: A Moment of Happiness
Lu Xun and Ying Shu came to a clearing far away from the camp and sat in the grass, which was already far away from the camp, and could only hear the faint sound and fire light from the camp, they were absolutely safe here. As night fell, the sky was full of stars, and the two sat next to each other in the grass. "Brother Xun, how long has it been since we've seen the stars like this?" said Yingshu, "three years, five months, ten days and four hours. Lu Xun said that every moment he left her, he remembered that the last time they looked at the stars together was a month before Ying Shu's marriage, and there was no holy decree for marriage at that time, and she was still his childhood sweetheart's younger sister.
"Brother Xun, I mistook you. Ying Shu said that she knew that although Lu Xun was born in the general's family, he had no intention of inheriting the position of general, his ambition was to become a civil official, and the first Dengke, and strategize in the court, but because she married the crown princess, he abandoned his dream, gave up the imperial examination, took the initiative to ask Ying to guard the border pass, and became a military general from Rong. She knew that he didn't want to stay in the sad place to stay away from the capital and her, but he couldn't forget her, otherwise he would still be alone for the past three years, and she would have mistaken him. Although Ting Xi said that she and Lu Xun would be fulfilled, how could this be possible? As the queen of Dongrong Kingdom, she was in the spotlight wherever she went, even if Ting Xi intended to do so, how could she abandon Ting Xi and ignore it? These few private meetings with Lu Xun were already the happiest thing in her life, and she was already content.
"Sister Ying, I like you, I will take you out of this endless abyss and go to a place where no one knows us, we can live our own lives incognito. I can't watch you not be by my side, I can't bear not to see you, I've spent three years without you, every moment I'm struggling to live in torment, sister, come with me. Lu Xun held Ying Shu's hand tightly and said, he really couldn't bear not to see Ying Shu, he had endured it for so many years, he had enough.
"Brother Xun, no, we can, we are destined to be inseparable after all, forget me, I don't deserve you to pay for me like this. Ying Shu sobbed, how much she wanted to fly away with Lu Xun and make a private lifelong commitment, but no, if she left with Lu Xun like this, everyone would know that she was still in contact with Lu Xun, even if Ting Xi would not pursue it, but the pressure of public opinion, the pressure of the court will definitely force Ting Xi to take action, the Yin family and the Lu family are the ministers of the court, and they have been reused by the emperor for generations, so they have made a lot of enemies in the court, if this matter is known to the courtiers, those courtiers will definitely use this to play the topic and force the emperor to surrender, whether it is the Yin family or the Lu family, it is unbearable。 Besides, if she leaves, who will take care of Tingxi and who will help her hide her secrets. If she leaves, the courtiers will definitely force Ting Xi to set up a new queen, which is not a small trouble for Ting Xi, she has done a lot for them, and she can't do anything to hurt her.
"Could it be that you have fallen in love with the emperor?" Lu Xun said in an almost trembling voice, he had always been quite confident in his love, and he believed that no matter what happened, no matter how far apart they were, they still loved each other. But listening to Ying Shu's words, she didn't want to go with him, he suddenly began to doubt their love, she was also married to a wife, the emperor was young, so handsome and chic, and he was the most noble man in Dongrong Kingdom, they had shared the bed for three years, how could she not be tempted? It turned out that the purest love in his heart was so ridiculous in front of time and status.
"No, no, no, Brother Xun, you are the only person I love, I didn't fall in love with the emperor, I only love you. Ying Shu hurriedly explained that he didn't know that Ting Xi was a daughter, and he would definitely mistakenly think that he had empathized with Ting Xi, but she only loved Ting Xi as a sister, but she couldn't tell Lu Xun the truth, and she couldn't let him misunderstand her and Ting Xi. "Since you don't love him, why don't you go away with me?" Lu Xun asked, "Brother Xun, we can't be so selfish. Do you know what kind of powerful enemies the Yin family and the Lu family are facing above the court, if the two of us disappear here at the same time tonight, what kind of fatal blow should our two fathers and our two families face? I love you, but I don't want to ruin all the people who love us because of our selfish love. Jae-sook cried.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I lost my words for a while. Lu Xun hugged Ying Shu and said, just now he was too impulsive to say these ignorant words, it is true that they can't destroy the people who love them because of their selfishness. "But don't say anything about leaving me in the future, I really can't bear it, maybe we can't be together for a long time, but please don't deprive this precious meeting. Lu Xun said, "It's me who is not good, what I said is a bit excessive, I will be strong, no matter what happens in the future, I will stick to it for us." Ying Shu said. It was already late at night, the camp had already lit a bright bonfire, and there was really not much time left for them, so it was better to take advantage of this short beautiful day to enjoy a moment of happiness.
