Chapter 968 Hua Xu was shocked to realize that it was the fifth watch
It was the dead of night and everything was silent. Time seemed to pass very quickly, as if he had slept for several years in one sleep.
The embroidery bed is messy.
Li Shu's pajamas are half-covered and half-opened, her shoulders are half exposed, her skin is as white as milk, and her whole body is nestled comfortably in Zhu Pingan's arm like a sleeping beauty, with loose black hair on her head Holding her hand, she was as supple as running water, her eyes were sleepy, her long and curled eyelashes were trembling gently like a butterfly resting, her delicate hands trembled twice, and she grasped the quilt tightly, as if something bad had happened in a dream.
The eyelashes trembled even more.
His hands gripped him tighter.
Rapid breathing
Then he opened his eyes, dreamy and sleepy. Even though she was sleepy, her eyes full of spirit were still shining brighter than the morning star hanging in the dim sky outside the window.
Huh
It turned out to be a dream.
It scared me.
However, what kind of dream did I just have? I can’t remember it at all. I only remember that it was a nightmare.
Fortunately it was just a dream.
Li Shu rubbed her eyes with her slender hands, looked out the window, and saw the morning star and the morning light on the eastern horizon.
It’s already dawn.
I told you before going to bed last night that I had to get up early today. Why didn't the two girls Hua'er and Qin'er come to wake me up? Have I overslept? Those who are going to visit the lake today need to pack their things in advance
Forget it
I'll get up first and pack them later.
Li Shu held the bed with her slender hands, gently stood up from Zhu Pingan's shoulders, leaned against Jin Zhi's soft bed and sat up. She lowered her head and looked at Zhu Pingan, who was sleeping soundly, and couldn't help but smile. With a childlike innocence, she picked up a lock of black hair in her slender hand and wanted to scratch the itch on Zhu Ping'an's nose and lips.
But when Qingsi was about to come into contact with Zhu Pingan, Li Shu changed her mind and stopped her movement.
Forget it
The big bad guy did all the bad things last night and slept so late, so it would be better to let him sleep a little longer.
Li Shu stretched out her slender hand and gently touched Zhu Pingan's slender eyebrows. She leaned down and pressed a kiss on Zhu Pingan's forehead. Then she gently got up and got out of bed, put on her Luo Yi, Washed and packed up.
Prepare breakfast
Arrange the girl to pack the things needed for a trip to the lake.
Everything is in order.
After breakfast, Li Shu asked Brother Rui and Niuniu to go to the lake together, which was promised to them yesterday. However, when the group of people walked out of the gate of Linhuai Hou Mansion, they met several father-in-laws from Xiyuan and a group of royal guards.
The leading father-in-law held a volume of imperial edict in his hand, and he was here to announce the edict to Zhu Pingan.
This imperial edict interrupted the play plan.
It’s much more than that.
This imperial edict not only interrupted the travel plan, but also interrupted Li Shu's life. The main meaning of the imperial edict is: It has been found that Zhu Pingan falsely accused Gao Botai, the commander of the Xicheng Army and Horses Division, and should have been severely punished. In consideration of Zhu Pingan's past merits, he was demoted to the position of money and grain officer of the Susong Second Mansion to supervise the anti-Japanese grain and grass affairs. He took up his post immediately. Dedicate one's crime and make meritorious service.
The wording of this imperial edict was very stern, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky, leaving Li Shu stunned on the spot.
Li Shu also knew about Zhu Ping'an's impeachment of Gao Botai. However, Li Shu was not too worried, not only because Zhu Ping'an was very confident, but also because Li Shu himself had analyzed it and felt that there would be no problem. Regardless of whether Gao Botai's occupation of farmland was true or not, it was Gao Botai who used power for personal gain, abused his power, and forcibly slandered, Gao Botai deserved it for tying up Zhu Pingan, a Shangguan.
However, Li Shu never expected that Emperor Jiajing, as if he was blind and had taken the wrong medicine, ignored facts and justice, and issued such a foolish and unethical edict.

After the father-in-law read out the imperial edict, Zhu Ping'an was forced to urge Ma south to take office under the watchful eye of the Jin Yiwei.
I didn't even have time to pack my luggage.
After Zhu Pingan left, Li Shu packed up the gifts and money with Hua'er and Qin'er, preparing to chase after Zhu Pingan. However, in panic, she packed her things so tightly that she She was sweating all over and caught the cold when the wind blew. She got into the carriage and just walked out of the gate of Linhuai Marquis Mansion. Li Shu fainted.
This disease
is lingering on the bed.
Li Shu had to recuperate in the Hou Mansion.
While recuperating in the Hou Mansion, Li Shu spent the whole day worrying, and the whole world turned into black and white. Black leaves, black flowers, white sky, the whole world has no color at all
Li Shu is worried all the time. When she opens her eyes or closes her eyes, she misses Zhu Pingan in her heart.
Where is Brother Zhu now?
Do you have enough money with you?
It’s so hot, why don’t you get some sunshine?
I heard that it is raining in the south. Brother Zhu did not bring a raincoat or an oil-paper umbrella, so he would not get wet.
Of course, Li Shu was most worried about Zhu Ping'an's safety, and the imperial edict asked Brother Zhu to supervise the matter. If you have food and grass, you are very likely to face Japanese pirates. The Japanese pirates are so ferocious, and I heard they are rampant, so I'm sure they will steal food, grass and luggage.
Although Brother Zhu is fatter than others, has a better appetite, and is smarter, he is still just a weak scholar. He has no self-defense skills. How can he resist the cruel and inhuman Japanese pirates?
It’s scary to think about it.
Finally
After several months of lingering in bed, Li Shu recovered.
After recovering, Li Shu took Hua'er, Qin'er and others and took a carriage south without missing a day.
All the way south.
Li Shu heard about the vicious atrocities committed by the Japanese pirates, killing people and setting fires, and committed all kinds of crimes, and she became even more worried about Zhu Ping'an.
After arriving at the border of Susong, Li Shu heard the news about Zhu Pingan.
More than ten miles ahead, Zhu Pingan was supervising a group of grain and grass baggage to support the battlefield ahead.
So
Li Shu could not wait for a moment.
However, with the persuasion and objection from the nursing home, he went directly to Zhu Pingan.
Shili
Nine miles
Eight miles
One mile.
Li Shu heard a cry of killing, and then saw a burst of fire and smoke rising into the sky, and Li Shu's heart suddenly rose.
And then
The fire smoke became thicker and thicker, and the shouts of death became louder and louder.
Further forward
Li Shu saw a blaze of fire, and the messy and miserable remains of the Ming army's severed limbs on the roadside, dripping with blood.
Then
Li Shuxin seemed to be clenched tightly by a pair of black hands, and she could no longer breathe.
Going forward
Zhu Ping'an saw a familiar figure standing in front of him.
Although he was wearing a battle armor
Li Shu recognized him at a glance, but why did the back of the battle armor reveal the tail of such a long spear.
"Brother Zhu"
Li Shu cried heartbreakingly and jumped out of the carriage regardless of the speeding carriage.
Run forward.
The clothes are fluttering and the belt is fluttering.
Like a fairy Lingbo.
The man in front heard Li Shu's cry and turned around. It was Zhu Ping'an, thin and with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.
A spear
pierced through his chest, revealing half a meter of blood. Blood flowed down the tip of the spear, like running water, and flowed all over the floor.
"Why are you here?" Zhu Ping'an's voice was hoarse, as if his life were about to burn with just one sentence.
"Brother Zhu, I'm here"
Li Shu burst into tears, but her pretty face was as bright as a smile. She opened her hands to meet Zhu Ping'an and ran over.
The skirt was fluttering
Like a dream
When she was still one meter away from Zhu Ping'an, Li Shu giggled and used all her strength to jump suddenly and lift her feet off the ground. , like a koala, flew into Zhu Pingan's arms, hugged Zhu Pingan tightly with both hands, and hung on Zhu Pingan.
"Brother Zhu, I'm here."
Li Shu looked at Zhu Pingan with a pair of watery eyes, tremblingly stretched out her hands to touch Zhu Pingan's dry coughing lips, her pretty face was filled with happiness and satisfaction, the blood at the corner of his mouth was mixed with tears, gurgling down.
Half of the spear penetrated Li Shu's back
"Miss, Miss"
The heartbreaking voices of Hua'er and Qin'er came from behind.
"Miss."
"Miss"
"Miss, wake up, get up."
Uh
Wait
Get up?
I'm afraid these two stupid girls are so sad that their brains are stupid. Just cry if you cry. What the hell is Miss, wake up and get up?
Li Shu had a dark look on her face.
"Miss, wake up, get up. Aren't you going to go swimming in the lake today? You said last night that I would call you earlier this morning."
The voice behind me became clearer.
Then
Li Shu felt someone shaking her arm.
What are you doing
Didn’t you see that Brother Zhu and I are like this? Do you still want to bother me at the last minute? !
Li Shu opened her eyes impatiently.
Then he saw Hua'er and Qin'er, Baozi's little maids, standing in front of the bed and looking at him carefully. Hua'er's hands were still gently shaking her arms.
Bed? !
ah? !
Li Shu suddenly woke up.
Was it just a dream? ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !
Li Shu suddenly sat up and reached out to pinch the little maid Baozi's arm.
“Miss, it hurts.”
The little maid Baozi looked at Li Shu pitifully.
It hurts
Then it’s really a dream.
Looking at Zhu Ping'an who was still snoring next to her, Li Shu's happy eyes narrowed, like a crescent moon. (End of this chapter)
