Shaojun riding the sea

Chapter 136
"This beautiful blessing is for you!"

Yue Wujiu glanced at Zhong Lisheng coldly, and while speaking, threw the handkerchief on his face, covering his smirking face which was not a big deal, Zhong Lisheng caught off guard and sneezed , the half-empty handkerchief fell directly, and was swept into the bustling crowd in an instant.

Shi Xuanling was still looking up at the third floor of the Tianque Tower, but Yue Wujiu had already embraced her, and the boy pressed her head back to his chest involuntarily.

"Don't look, it's irrelevant."

As he spoke, he pulled the reins, hugged Shi Xuanling tightly, and beat the horse away without looking back.

"No, Ayue, Ayue!"

Shi Xuanqin stood on the Tianque Tower and watched this scene, as if being struck by five thunders, he couldn't believe it, and his body was completely frozen in the wind.

There were still two lines of tears faintly visible on her face. The fragrant makeup, the specially selected clothes, and the half of the handkerchief that was thrown away have all become a joke at this moment, a proud peacock shaker. Fang nodded, her heart broken.

"Miss, please calm down, the prince has gone far..."

Seeing Shi Xuanqin's body trembling, and her eyes were frighteningly red, Heng'er couldn't help worrying and wanted to support her, but Shi Xuanqin slammed her away.

"No, no, I don't believe it, I don't believe A Yue would treat me like this..."

She looked crazy, suddenly pointed downwards, and urgently ordered Heng'er: "Hurry up, go down and pick up my handkerchief, it's very important to me, you must pick it up no matter what!"

Heng'er's complexion changed slightly, and he looked at the tide-like crowd below, and said hesitantly: "Small, miss, there are so many people crowded together below, and the handkerchief is caught in the crowd, I'm afraid I'll be stepped on, I don't know ..."

"Even if you are trampled on ten thousand times, and you are swept to the ends of the earth, you have to pick it up for me. I said it is very important to me. It is an old thing between me and Shizi. Go, you have to find it no matter what. A handkerchief, if you can’t find you, don’t come back!”

After Heng'er hurriedly went downstairs to find the handkerchief, Shi Xuanqin's straight back suddenly relaxed, and she sat down at the table as if completely discouraged, in the faint fragrance of Zen tea, He looked at the broken stringed guqin.

Her fair and slender fingers gently caressed the body of the piano. Everything she had carefully prepared today was like a broken string. Suddenly, the sound of the piano ceased, and all the good things came to an abrupt end.

She lowered her head again and looked at the piece of spring willows outlined on the clothes. Coincidentally, among the four handkerchiefs of spring, summer, autumn and winter, the half that symbolized the splendor of spring was left.

And when she was with Ayue in the past, her favorite thing was spring. Ayue would take her on outings, pick wild fruits on the mountain, catch small fish by the stream, and feel every ray of sunshine in the bright spring day. Every trace of the breeze, she held his hand when her affection was the strongest, and said to him sweetly:

"Ah Yue, let's see such beautiful spring scenery every year for a lifetime, okay?"

But at the end of the dream, everything collapsed, and the door symbolizing "a lifetime" was resolutely closed by herself on that rainy spring day. The fate between him.

Shi Xuanqin, who had always been arrogant, never bowed her head, and refused to admit that she was wrong, suddenly panicked at this moment. For the first time, endless sadness and despair surged in her heart. She seemed to be in the dark. Foresaw--

The spring is gone, the lover is gone, it seems that the beautiful spring day in the past will never...belong to her.

People will always be able to see their own heart clearly after losing, know what they want most, and feel regretful for what they once had but can no longer grasp.

How stupid she is, she missed the eclipse of the world in order to chase the cold fairy palace in the sky.

"No, I will never let go, never!"

Shi Xuanqin's eyes suddenly sharpened, and she slammed the broken guqin on the table to the ground. Her beautiful face was almost distorted, and every word that overflowed from between her teeth was full of fear. hate:
"Shi Xuanling, it's all your fault, why did you take my place and exile me to Yunzhou Island!"

The incense burner with the fragrance of Zen tea was also flicked by her, and she threw it heavily on the ground. Her eyes were blood red, and she completely lost her mind:

"Because of you, Ah Yue changed his mind. It's all your fault, everything is your fault. I will never let you take Ah Yue away like this. You should disappear in this world. I must let you disappear in this world." world!"

-

The wind swept across the sky, and the palace gate was full of awe. Emperor Yun led all the civil and military officials, and finally waited for Yue Wujiu and his party.

In the past, there were heroes who had made great military exploits when they returned to the imperial court, but they all had to go to the palace to pay respects to the emperor. I have never seen the emperor personally lead a hundred officials to greet him in front of the palace gate. Now this battle is unprecedented since Emperor Yun came to power. Second-rate.

And it was none other than the one who made him do this, it was his dear nephew whom he had loved and loved since he was a child, the more blameless he was.

The originally strong family relationship is now mixed with thousands of unspeakable guilt and debt. Even though the officials of the Ministry of Rites wrote to Emperor Yun saying that this move was not in line with etiquette, Emperor Yun still insisted on doing so.

This seems to be telling people all over the world that even though Yue's family conspired against him and his entire family was destroyed, there is no more Marquis Yue in the world, but the more blameless he is, the nephew who is connected with him by his blood is still the one who grew up with him. In any case, I will never let go of it, and I am willing to try my best to keep that trace of warmth.

"Hey, the old emperor has personally waited in front of the palace gate, how much face we have."

The purple clothes were flying, and Zhong Lisheng immediately beat his folding fan, and Yue Wujiu and Shi Xuanling, who were close to the front, laughed in a low voice. He glanced at the civil and military officials waiting in front of the palace gate, and leaned closer to Yue Wujiu's ear ridiculed a sentence:
"It's hard for your uncle to make such a big show. He is promoting you in front of everyone. I believe this time. He really regards you as his great nephew."

Yue Wujiu looked at the familiar figure sitting on the dragon chariot in front of the palace gate, his eyes turned hot for some reason, and he didn't bother to pay attention to Zhonglisheng's teasing.

He can't even see all the civil and military officials, and even everything around him, only the person who taught him since childhood, loves him, treats him as his own son, and treats him better than all the princes.

"minister--"

I can't remember how I got off my horse, how I walked quickly to the front of the dragon chariot, Yue Wugui just felt a tightness in his chest, and his heart was sore and swollen, until he blurted out the word "Chen" Only then did he wake up.

He almost forgot that he was no longer the son of Yue with a prominent status. He has not been rewarded yet, and he is still wearing a sinful body. He is still a jade slave on Yunzhou Island in name. He cannot call himself "a minister" before His Majesty. ".

But it is absolutely impossible for him to call himself a "sin slave" in front of His Majesty and civil and military officials, and admit to the crime of treason by treason. His thoughts changed, the young man pursed his lips, and finally simply avoided these titles. Lifting the hem of his clothes, he bowed his hands and said:
"The more blameless I pay my respects to Your Majesty!"

It's just that before his knees hit the ground, they were firmly supported by a big warm hand.

"Wugui, you're back, you're finally back..."

His heart trembled, and he raised his head to meet Emperor Yun's eyes glistening with tears. He was still as tall and majestic as when he left, but a strand of white hair grew on his temples, as if he had aged ten years in just a short time. Years old.

"Good boy, let me take a good look at you. You have suffered so much. I heard that the battle on Yunzhou Island was extremely tragic. Did those red slave barbarians hurt you?"

In front of all civil and military officials, Emperor Yun actually pulled Yue Wugui up like this, asked about his injury as if no one else was there, and patted his hand and said: "If there is any injury on the body, let those in the Imperial Hospital Take a good look at the head of the hospital, don't fall into any troubles..."

There was a row of princes standing behind Emperor Yun, one of them was handsome and heroic, his features were very similar to Emperor Yun's, he called out to Yue Wujiu, "Brother Wujiu!"

Yue Wujiu looked up, the one who called him was none other than the third prince Lian Ya, one of the two sons born by Empress Wei.

The Yue family has always been at odds with the Wei family. When Yue Wujiu went out with his father, in the snowy sky in Kuocang Valley, he even watched with his own eyes the Marquis Yue beheaded a son of the Wei family who had embezzled money.

The Wei family has a high status and authority, but their hearts are not right. Yue Wugui naturally has no friendship with the Wei family, but the third prince, Lian Ya, is different from all the Wei family.

In terms of blood relationship, he can be regarded as Yue Wujiu's cousin, a few years younger than Yue Wujiu, since he was a child he loved going to Yue Wujiu's mansion to play with Yue Wujiu, and even served as Yue Wujiu's "little follower" for a while ", "Brother Wujiu" is long all the time, "Brother Wujiu" is short, he worships Yue Wujiu extremely, and always regards him as his role model.

In the heart of the third prince Lian Ya, his real elder brother is an irritable and incompetent idiot. On the contrary, the cousin in the Marquis Yue's mansion is a brilliant young hero capable of writing and martial arts. Being demoted as a jade slave still did not change his image in the mind of the third prince Lian Ya. He was always the shining legend in his eyes, the most dazzling young man in Shengdu City.

As soon as "Brother Wujiu" was yelled, not only did Yue Wujiu's heart move, but even Emperor Yun looked sideways, as if slightly surprised.

Standing next to the third prince Lian Ya is the crown prince Lian Jin. He and the third prince are both descendants of Empress Wei, but the two brothers have completely different temperaments, and they both look down on each other. Now the prince sees that the third prince is facing each other An "outsider" is so close, but he has never called himself "brother" so enthusiastically, so he gritted his teeth with hatred.

This damned third child is like being born in the wrong place. He is always on the side with outsiders. It would be nice for him to be with Yue Wugui or the Twelfth Prince, but he just doesn't want to befriend his own brother. What a shame. Elbow turned outward, a white-eyed wolf who will never be familiar with!

When the prince was slandering in his heart, Emperor Yun had already waved to the third prince Lian Ya, motioning him to come over, and said to Yue Wujiu: "Your third brother has been thinking about you all the time, and you came back just to test his skills." Homework, you taught him swordsmanship in the past, do you remember?"

The third prince, Lian Ya, stepped forward immediately, and called out again with bright eyes: "Brother Wujiu, I have already mastered the moves you taught me, and you have to teach me some new moves when you come back this time." OK!"

A Ninth Five-Year Lord, a royal child, surrounded Yue Wujiu but gossiped like family, just like the uncles and brothers in ordinary people's family, Yue Wujiu was stunned for a while, not knowing how to react .

Instead, a handsome and thin figure in the dark watched this scene, looked at the smiling face of the third prince Lian Ya, and unconsciously thought of the incident that happened at the hunting ground in Yanqiu Mountain——

At that time, there was a conflict between the Twelfth Prince and the Crown Prince, and they galloped to stop it in time. The person who took the Twelfth Prince away was also the Third Prince, Kuang Lianya.

At that time, he was surprised that there could be such a "heterogeneous" in the selfish and ruthless Kuang clan?
Now it seems that this empress Wei's biological son is indeed a "different" royal child.

In front of the palace gate, Emperor Yun was still holding on to Yue Wugui, Zhong Lisheng put his arms around his shoulders, put the handle against his chin, stood there and shook his head boredly, finally leaned into Shi Xuanling's ear and said with a smile:
"Why do you think it seems superfluous for the few of us to enter the imperial city?"

Shi Xuanling lowered her voice, and leaned over and said, "I was originally brought into the imperial city by A Yue as a 'female family member', so I was superfluous."

Zhong Lisheng couldn't hold back a chuckle, and then whispered to Shi Xuanling: "This old guy is really interesting. He killed his nephew's family and is still pretending to be a loving uncle? Are you hypocritical? ?”

"Little shark, you can yell louder and ask the emperor to drag us down and kill us all, but Ah Yue did tell me that his uncle has always treated him very well, and the matter of the Yue family... said Maybe there are other secrets, the emperor has no choice but to do so?"

"Naive." Zhong Lisheng sneered, raised his eyelids, and lazily said: "What is there to do? The emperor was angry and laid down millions of dead bodies. Isn't it up to his emperor and old man to decide everything? If he really cares about it?" For the old love, I can think of a hundred ways to keep the Yue family, instead of greeting the last little orphan of the Yue family here, so as to make my guilty heart feel better."

Zhong Lisheng's words were straightforward and sharp, Shi Xuanling was taken aback, but felt that the words were so familiar, it seemed, it seemed... Zhizhi had told her before?
Yes, she remembered, when Pei Shixi came to Yunzhou Island to escort Xi Yuehan away, she and Zhizhi knelt in a crowd, whispering to Pei Shixi's back, Zhizhi was also like Zhonglisheng today said:
"Since the establishment of the Zhenfu Division, countless unjust, false and wrong cases have been handled. This was originally set up by the royal family to deter all officials in the court. Especially after Mr. Pei came to power, the Zhenfu Division has become a hundred times harsher than before. Call him 'Yan Luo with jade face', but in my opinion, Zhenfusi is just a knife in His Majesty's hand. It is not up to His Majesty to decide who to swing the knife at. It's been like this since ancient times..."

Is it true?Now in front of the palace gate, Emperor Yun's affectionate side towards A Yue is all... an illusion?
Shi Xuanling fell into deep thought for a moment, she stared at the figures of Emperor Yun and Yue Wujiu, when she was lost in thought, the corner of her clothes seemed to be pulled from behind.

The bell shook slightly, Shi Xuanling turned around and was stunned.

Zhong Lisheng also followed her to look back, only seeing a solemn official uniform, he immediately approached Shi Xuanling, and then whispered to her:
"Who is this old man? He looks like a bad-tempered historian. Could it be that he is reminding us not to speak ill of the emperor?"

Shi Xuanling stared at a pair of brown eyes, looked at the familiar official robe, swallowed, and finally uttered a few words with difficulty -

"This, this is...my dad."
