628 Life and Death 7
In the past nearly a year, it's not like he hasn't eaten the things she made. There are pastries, snacks, and of course dishes and soups. However, this is the first time he has seen such a sumptuous table. Moreover, he always I feel that there is a hint of sadness in her eyes today, as if they are about to say goodbye.
However, this idea was simply incomprehensible to Murong Bai now. Therefore, he suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and looked at her with a smile on his face.
Shen Lian blessed him with blessings, "Your Majesty, please sit down and have a taste. It took me a long time to finish this table of dishes." At this time, the waiter beside him wanted to step forward. Try the dishes for him first.
Murong Bai waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need it. The dishes on this table were not only delicious food, but also her thoughts. If he asked someone to taste the dishes, wouldn't it mean that he didn't trust her? So, Murong Bai today , for the first time, he tried the dishes first without asking anyone. He sat down, and Shen Lian stood aside, consciously serving him dishes.
He tasted it and couldn't help but frown. This dish was indeed delicious, tender and delicious. Next, he tasted several dishes one after another, and all the dishes were delicious and delicious. Unexpectedly, her cooking skills The dishes were so good that he almost swallowed them with his tongue. So, while she served the dishes enthusiastically, Murong Bai ate quite a lot today.
Moreover, he drank some wine and became slightly drunk. In the end, Shen Lian supported him and slowly walked towards the bed. At that time, the other people in the inner hall had already retreated, leaving only Shen Lian. , seeing that he was a little drunk, Shen Lian stepped forward and supported Murong Bai. "Your Majesty, you are a little drunk, why don't you take a short rest."
Murong Bai thought that there was nothing important to do today, so it would be good to take a short rest. So, he nodded and acquiesced to her suggestion. He let her support him and slowly walked to the bed. When he lay down, Shen Lian bent down again, took off his boots and put them underneath. Then, she thoughtfully covered him with a quilt. She stood in front of the bed and looked at him for a long time.
Murong Bai had already fallen asleep. He fell asleep very quickly and did not know that the people around him had not left. Shen Lian was sure that after he fell asleep, he slowly sat down and sat on the edge of the bed.
"Your Majesty, Murong Bai, you must be good in the future, you know? Do you know what price someone paid for this in exchange for your rebirth? You must cherish it for the rest of your life, you know ? In this way, she will not let down her heart. I believe that with your ability, you can live a good life as long as you want."
The person who was already asleep did not hear these words. After Shen Lian said these words, she looked at him for a while, then got up and left. In the blink of an eye, that day has arrived.
In the early morning of this day, Shen Lian got up very early. After washing up, she came to Murong Bai. Seeing her coming so early, Murong Bai was a little surprised. Why did she come so early today? "Little girl, what are you doing here so early? Why don't you take a little more rest?" When she left last night, it was already too late. Today, she came so early again, how could she rest?
Shen Lian just pursed her lips and smiled, "This servant wants to come to serve Your Majesty earlier, doesn't His Majesty allow it?"
When Murong Bai heard this, he couldn't help but smile. This little girl was really interesting. Moreover, he couldn't help but be moved by her concern for him. In the past nearly a year, he went from doubting at the beginning to believing later. , now he actually has no doubt about her. Everything she does, every bit, is for him.
This was the first time that someone cared about him so much, even the chamberlain who had always been by his side. Murong Bai always had something in his heart that he wanted to say to her. However, he always hesitated and did not say it out loud. After all, , he couldn't say this for no reason, right? He was worried and scared her, and he kept looking for a suitable opportunity.
The two of them were like this, talking and laughing while Shen Lian was grinding the ink for him. Shen Lian thought to herself that this was probably the last time that she would grind the ink for him. After today, they might never be able to see each other again. .He will also leave this palace forever. She has no way of predicting how he will live in the future.
Your Majesty, you must take good care of yourself from now on, do you understand? Wanwan can no longer stay with you and take care of your food and daily life. From now on, everything will have to depend on you. Shen Lian occasionally looked at him, He would be stunned for a while. Murong Bai also noticed it, but he didn't say it out loud.
Finally the moment came. When the news from outside came, Murong Bai broke the pen in his hand. His extremely handsome face was gloomy at the moment. However, he did not panic and kept calmly arranging the guards in the palace. , let them resist the foreign soldiers. By delaying the time, they might wait until reinforcements arrive. He also knew in his heart that the foreign soldiers could quietly enter the city and approach the outside of the palace.
There must be someone who cooperated with him inside and outside. Someone betrayed him, and this person must be a general with military strength. Otherwise, how could foreign soldiers appear in the city without any sign? They could only be defended by the guards of the palace. It is only a matter of time before the foreign troops are defeated. As for the reinforcements, I am afraid that water from afar cannot save the fire that is close by.
He also did not expect that those few people, those who had been deeply favored by the emperor, would actually join forces to betray him and put him into such a predicament. However, he, Murong Bai, would never surrender without mercy. Even if he had to fight. He will never surrender until the end of his battle. And he also understands that even if he is willing to surrender, he will inevitably die.
Since they have done such a thing, it is impossible for them to leave any trouble in the future. They must understand this truth. And there are probably people behind them who are instigating them. They are just those who are rushing forward. He is just a soldier, and the real messenger may not appear in front of him now. He may not appear until all the dust settles.
But by that time, he himself had already returned to the loess. After Murong Bai finished instructing those people, he sat down quietly. He suddenly looked at the people standing next to him. Isn't this little girl not afraid? She is still there. Grinding there, except for the initial surprise, there was no look of panic on her face.
It seemed that what the guard came to report was just a small matter, a trivial matter that could be solved easily. Murong Bai couldn't help but asked, "Little girl, aren't you afraid? They will soon invade the imperial city. Here we are. Don't you know what will happen to the women in the palace at that time?"
After hearing this, Shen Lian shook her head, "As long as I am by Your Majesty's side, I am not afraid of anything. Even if I die, I will not leave Your Majesty's side." Will you not leave even if you die? Murong Bai's mind kept echoing. At this moment, Murong Bai felt more than a little bit shocked. His eyes also became slightly moist.
As soon as the news came out just now, everyone around them changed their minds. Some people were even ready to leave here. After all, if they escaped from the palace and they were not members of the royal family, they might survive. But if they continued to stay, Here, we can only wait to die. When the time comes, once those people rush in, most of them will not be able to escape and will have to die.
But she was different. She didn't panic or panic, and still stayed by his side. She didn't even take a step back. Even the chamberlain who had been with him for many years had a look of panic on his face at this moment. He looked at it frequently. He walked toward the door, hoping that good news would come to him. Only this little girl, who was fine at all, continued to stay by his side.
He pressed her hand that was grinding ink and met her eyes, "No need to grind it, maybe it won't be needed in the future." Today's disaster was unexpected. He was not prepared at all, and was surrounded by them. In the palace.
Murong Bai had already anticipated the outcome. He probably wouldn't survive today. So, although he hadn't given up yet, his heart was already gloomy. He just didn't want to surrender without a fight. He would rather die together than give them an advantage. So, As time went by, it was already close to noon. Shen Lian knew that shortly after noon, the palace would be breached.
She didn't have much time, so she couldn't wait any longer. Just now, she had actually persuaded Murong Bai to leave the green hills and not worry about running out of firewood. The Lord Chamberlain on the side was also persuading him to leave the palace as soon as possible. As long as he can escape, he can gather his troops to fight again and make a comeback. Otherwise, he will be trapped in the palace and will only die.
However, Murong Bai's stubbornness was beyond their imagination. After Shen Lian and the chamberlain looked at each other for a while, she came to the chamberlain's side and whispered a few words to him. The chamberlain heard this. , nodded sharply, and then strode out. Murong Bai didn't ask where he went. What did they say just now.
However, his mind was made up and it was impossible to change. So, he just said to her, "Little girl, run away for your life. You are inconspicuous and they don't know you. Maybe you can escape from the palace." When you go, take some gold, silver and jewelry with you. You can rely on this money to survive outside the palace in the future."
He could no longer protect her, and she could only rely on herself in the future. She was so clever and smart, and she would definitely be able to survive if she took away some valuable things. However, Shen Lian shook her head, "If Your Majesty doesn't leave, this servant will also Don't leave. If you want to die, let's die together." Her determination surprised Murong Bai again.
After a while, the chamberlain came in. He held a cup of tea in his hand and walked towards Murong Bai. "Your Majesty, please drink some tea first to moisten your throat." Except for him, who was still calmer, the other chamberlains were already there. Yes, they were trembling with fear. However, they did not dare to leave here rashly at this time. Otherwise, His Majesty would be furious, and I am afraid they would be killed by the guards before they could get far.
Therefore, they could only force themselves to continue standing where they were. Perhaps, the delaying troops would come and the danger in the palace would be resolved immediately. Therefore, it was better for them to stand first.
Murong Bai took everything in his eyes and took the cup of tea smoothly, but when his lips just touched the edge of the cup, he suddenly threw the cup of tea in his hand to the ground. The teacup broke and the tea splashed, forming a circle on the ground.
