Chapter 49
Chapter 49
The next two months were uneventful compared to the previous ones.It is reasonable to say that the trial of King Yu's case has almost been completed, but the case has not been closed for a long time. The emperor locked him in the sky prison and neither killed him nor let him go. On the contrary, many courtiers became more and more unable to see through this matter. What is the emperor thinking in his heart.
On the other side, King Zhuang changed his former activeness and suddenly became secluded and secluded. If he could not speak in the court, he would not speak. After the court, he would stay in the mansion for the rest of the time except to pay his respects to his father, queen, mother and concubine. A look of introspection.
Although Yu Wang was imprisoned, he did not die, and Zhuang Wang refused people thousands of miles away. How this team should stand has made many people puzzled. Although the cold was cured, the headache returned.
"I heard, Your Majesty is in such a body that the imperial physician said that it is not appropriate to work any longer. Look at this large pile of papers. Why don't you go and talk to Your Majesty? During this time, we will pick up very important reports to him, and we will do the rest by ourselves... ..."
"Lu Xiang, do you think I don't understand the pros and cons? But you also know His Majesty's temper, how can you agree to this!"
"Oh, I'm so worried, if there is a prince here at this time..."
"Hush! Don't talk about this!"
In Mingli Hall, several prime ministers and other officials of the province have been worried for several days.Your Majesty's headache this time is much more serious than before. The imperial doctor said that acupuncture and medicine alone have limited effect, and you need to relax and rest.
But the bad thing is that today's sage is not a person who can decentralize power with peace of mind. If he has such a headache, he has to personally review the memorial. How can he recover from his illness!
All the ministers wanted Zhongshuling to persuade the emperor, and it was not that Zhongshuling never persuaded him, but his majesty didn't agree to say this once, and he didn't dare to say anything more. Later, his majesty suspected that he would take the opportunity to gain power There will be big troubles.
There were sighs and sighs in the room, and suddenly, all the sighs stopped at the same time. Huo Lan, who was buried in reading the memorial, raised her head, and the scene where everyone looked at her at the guard's place two months ago appeared again.
Huo Lan: "..."
"Oh, I suddenly have a stomachache." Huo Lan bent over while clutching his stomach, trying to slip away.The group of old guys in the room usually do everything slowly, but now they are moving quickly. Two people blocked the door, and the rest pulled people. The quick response and clear division of labor made Huo Lan wonder if it was the same as before her? There is such a bad guy?Otherwise, why do these people look so skilled?
"It's not convenient for any of us here to talk about it. You are the most suitable one. According to seniority, His Majesty is still your grandfather. The important task of admonishing His Majesty belongs to you!"
"That's right, Your Majesty loves you so much, go and talk to Your Majesty, maybe he will listen to you."
"Don't underestimate this. This is a major issue that concerns the foundation of the country! The stability of the dynasty and the peace of the world depend entirely on you!"
……
The crowd surrounded Huo Lan and chattered, to put it bluntly, to be moved by emotion, to understand reason, to put it bluntly, to coax and deceive her, they put on one after another of high hats, and almost turned her away personally To the eyes of the emperor.
That's why literati are sometimes more difficult than warriors. In the past, when everyone disagreed with the guards, they could fight and compete. Now here, Huo Lan can't do anything to these old men, and his head is about to give up. They got dizzy from reading, and in the end they had no choice but to do what they wished, holding a stack of memorials and carrying their hopes to see the emperor.
"His Majesty."
Entering the Tairong Hall where Zhong Yu handles his daily business, Huo Lan asked An to put the memorial on the desk. Since the grand ceremony had not yet been held, she did not change her name for Zhong Yu.
Zhong Yu was sitting behind the desk at the moment, rubbing his head while reviewing official documents. The illness seemed to have slowed down his efficiency. Usually, he should have finished approving these official documents yesterday, but there are still many left.
"Your Majesty, I heard that they are very worried about your health, so let me persuade you to rest more, and stop doing some work that can be done for you by yourself."
The group of old men kicked the ball to Huo Lan, Huo Lan turned around and sold them without hesitation. The tall hats just listen to it, but they can't really be used as gunmen.
Eunuch Zhang went to help keep an eye on the decocted medicine earlier, and now he brought the medicine up, and after hearing Huo Lan's words, he also persuaded the emperor.
Zhong Yu probably really suffered from a severe headache. He kept frowning tightly, drank a bowl of medicine, and said to Huo Lan with a long sigh: "Forget it, come and read these scriptures to me, and you can write whatever I say."
It seems that this is all the concession His Majesty can make, Huo Lan didn't persuade him any more.One afternoon, Zhong Yu was lying on the couch with his eyes closed, while Huo Lan sat where Zhong Yu had sat before and wrote notes for him. The review is over.
After coming out of Tairong Hall, Huo Lan rubbed his sore neck, and couldn't help but lament that being an emperor is hard work, and considering the family affairs that are much more complicated than ordinary people's, making fathers not fathers, sons not sons, It is better to be inappropriate than to be suspicious of each other all day long.
Say it as if you really have a chance to be the same.Huo Lan smiled at herself, just in time to be seen by Yun Miaoqing who came to pick her up.
"Why are you silently smirking alone?" Yun Miaoqing asked after Huo Lan got into the carriage.
Huo Lan told Yun Miaoqing about the silly thought he had just flashed by.
"I think it's a bit funny to worry about others when it's obviously none of my business."
Huo Lan originally thought that Yun Miaoqing would laugh at her, but it turned out that Yun Miaoqing was laughing, but it was not the kind of joke, with crooked eyes, she was also laughing with her.
"Then do you want to be the emperor?" Yun Miaoqing asked, tilting her head slightly.
"Is this something I want or not?" Huo Lan was shocked, "You won't tell me that as long as I think about it, you can do it?"
She has seen a lot of Yun Miaoqing's methods, if it is said to be powerful, it is naturally powerful, but it is the throne, and it is not street shopping!Look at Zhuang Wang and Yu Wang, who have been plotting with a room of confidantes for more than ten years without success. They still want people who want money and have money. What do they have?Yun Zhimiao passed away three years ago, and his influence in the court has long since disappeared. It is not bad to keep a house of orphans and widows to keep his current wealth, but can he still seek the throne?
"I'll just ask, first tell me if you have this chance, would you like it?"
Yun Miaoqing's tone was brisk, and it seemed that she was really just asking casually.Since she asked casually in private, Huo Lan thought about it seriously and replied: "I don't know, I just want to protect you, and it's best to stay by your side for the rest of my life."
Yun Miaoqing swayed with the carriage and nodded, not knowing whether she was satisfied with her answer, but the smile on her face remained unchanged, as if she expected her to say that.
"I've always been curious. You always said to protect me and protect me, but you should know that based on my past and present situation, I clearly don't need anyone to protect me. What you said sounds like you are sure that something will happen to me in the future? "
Huo Lan's heart trembled, if it wasn't for Yun Miaoqing's brisk and casual tone before, he almost thought that Yun Miaoqing had noticed something was questioning her.
Until now, Huo Lan still wasn't sure if she could talk about the rebirth, and if she said it, it would ruin everything.
She hesitated for a while, but chose a safer statement: "I just feel that the world is impermanent. You also said that you might go to war in the future. I want to win a place. Once there is a war, don't let you be short of clothes." food, there is no cure for illness..."
In order to explain this, Huo Lan recalled the days when he and Yun Miaoqing were waiting to die in Maoxi Village in his previous life. The little happiness before disappeared suddenly, and his heart was replaced by a feeling of falling like a stone.
It has only been more than a year since Yun Miaoqing died of illness in her previous life. Although she has made completely different choices from her previous life, these are far from enough.Yun Miaoqing said that she is also an abandoned son to His Majesty, does that mean that His Majesty will not give her too much power?What can she do to prevent her and Yun Miaoqing from making the same mistakes?
Huo Lan's heart was heavy, knowing that what he said was full of loopholes and he couldn't afford to scrutinize it, but he didn't want to think of a more perfect way of saying it. Anyway, it was a lie, and Yun Miaoqing would see through it.
Fortunately, Yun Miaoqing didn't seem to intend to delve into this issue, so she laughed after hearing her words: "If that's the case, then it's fate."
"What's fate?" Huo Lan retorted hastily, "It's because I didn't protect you well... Uh, I mean if something like that really happened. So I will work very hard, no matter how hard it is, I am willing to go Do it, as long as there is a way... I want you to have a good life, so that you can live in peace and joy until you grow old."
At the end, Huo Lan held Yun Miaoqing's hands, this time without asking Yun Miaoqing's consent, she lowered her head and kissed the back of Yun Miaoqing's hand, with her almost pious love, she did not lift her lips for a long time.
Yun Miaoqing didn't expect Huo Lan's reaction to be so strong after she just chatted casually, she was stunned for a moment and said softly: "Life, old age, sickness and death are human nature, the first emperor was only 36 years old when he died of illness, you can even consider him an emperor, Sitting on the wealth of the world, there are countless famous doctors and elixir, and there are some things that are helpless."
Three and a half years ago, Yun Miaoqing's father died of illness, and he was only in his fifties, although it was not short lived, it was not long either.Yun Miaoqing has experienced a life-and-death farewell with her relatives, and she has learned the Tao from books since she was a child, so she is very open-minded in this regard.
She didn't know where Huo Lan came from so many pessimistic thoughts, but if Huo Lan had been holding such worries and being harsh on herself every day, how hard it would have been...
After hearing Yun Miaoqing's words, Huo Lan still didn't look up, but instead held Yun Miaoqing's hand even tighter, as if this person's life would slip through his fingers if he let go.
Seeing Huo Lan in such a state, Yun Miaoqing was so distressed that she leaned closer and hugged him: "It's my fault. I was happy to ask you what you are doing. Don't worry, I will arrange everything later, even if We have a way to retreat in future wars. You promised me so many things and haven't fulfilled them, how could I leave you alone. "
When people are sad, they can't listen to comforting words. Huo Lan was just a little sad. The more Yun Miaoqing coaxed her, the more she thought about it. Out of breath.
"What do you want me to do?" Yun Miaoqing coaxed Huo Lan with a handkerchief, wiping her face over and over again.Huo Lan hadn't cried for half a year, and it seemed as if he wanted to make up for the half year.
Tsk, I thought the little wolf cub had grown up to be awe-inspiring, but in the end it was still the same little crying bag.
Yun Miaoqing had no choice but to tell Huo Lan some jokes to divert Huo Lan's attention.She speaks vividly, imitating someone's tone and movements vividly, and at the same time with a little intentional exaggeration, which makes people laugh.
Huo Lan was still crying, and when he heard something funny, he almost burst out laughing out of his nose.
Now Huo Lan is even more sad. Just now, he was sad because he was worried about the future. After all, it is still far away. Now he is sad because he is really worried about the present - he has lost his image at all, what a shame! ! !And still in front of his sweetheart, he almost wanted to die.
"You're so annoying, woo woo woo, it's all your fault!" Huo Lan was so angry and annoyed that her whole face turned red.
"Okay, okay, blame me, blame me, ah, I don't dislike you, what's the matter!" Yun Miaoqing said so, but when Huo Lan reached out to grab her, she hid back and refused with a smile, " Hey, don't touch me with the hand you just wiped your nose!"
"You still said that you don't dislike me!" Huo Lan felt sad and cried even louder.
The two quarreled all the way, and after returning home, Yun Miaoqing repeatedly assured Huo Lan that she must have completely forgotten what happened tonight, as if it had never happened.
"Bah, bah, it doesn't seem to have happened, it never happened. Did we say something just now? Didn't you just tell me what you saw and heard in the palace today?"
Huo Lan snorted, reluctantly agreeing with Yun Miaoqing's statement, and then agreed to let her go.
She went back to her room to wash up briefly, and lay down on the bed, inevitably still thinking about what happened just now in her mind.Thanks to Yun Miaoqing's later jokes, thinking about it now, the sadness is gone, and Huo Lan finally has the mood to figure out something else from Yun Miaoqing's coaxing words.
Whether it was in her previous life or this life, Yun Miaoqing had never broken her promise.He said before that he would not let her come to the capital alone, and then he really came back with her. This time he said that he would not leave her alone, and he also said that he would wait for her to fulfill the promise he made. Does this mean Yun Miaoqing? Xiang has fully accepted her and is willing to spend the rest of his life with her?
Huo Lan recalled the words she had promised Yun Miaoqing about being with Yun Miaoqing in the attic at the foot of Bailu Mountain. When she said those words at that time, she could only experience those scenes in her dreams, but now, this Everything seems to be within reach!
Joy is like a flower, gradually opening from a small bud, quickly occupying Huo Lan's entire heart.Huo Lan dared to think about all the things that she didn't dare to think about before, and dared to think more. She almost couldn't wait to officially express her heart to Yun Miaoqing, and share with Yun Miaoqing what she had been looking forward to and planning over the years. all future.
However, the situation in the court is so tense now, even though she and Yun Miaoqing are not discussing political affairs all the time, there is always a string in her heart, let's wait until these days pass.
Huo Lan tossed and turned on the bed, and fell into a deep sleep near the fourth watch.
At the same time, on the other side, a dark figure appeared outside the capital.The night blurred the man's face, the man staggered, moved step by step to the base of the city wall, curled up and squatted on the ground, staring at the sky dully, waiting for the moment when the city gate opened at dawn.
The author has something to say: Tomorrow is the New Year’s Eve, and I have to prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner with my family. I guess I don’t have time to code words, and then I have to take two days off for the first and second grades, and the third grade, which is the 14th week , and began to resume normal updates.
Sorry for the delay for a few days because of the Chinese New Year, a wave of small red envelopes will be sent in the comments of this chapter, thank you to all the little cuties who supported this article, and wish everyone a happy Chinese New Year in advance!
