Chapter 603 On the Last Days of the Supreme Emperor
Since she missed her, Mu Jiaojiao didn't hold back, so she wrote another letter to Cui Pu, sending lovesickness away.

After Cui Pu received the letter, he read it back and forth no less than ten times, and then carefully flattened the crumpled paper, carefully folded it, and placed it close to his heart.

Mr. Da Lang stood aside, watching with sourness in his heart.

"Father, mother didn't say a few words about me and brother in your letter?"

"No." Cui Pu replied firmly.

Mr. Dalang pursed his lips. "You must be lying, just to monopolize Aniang's letter and not show it to us."

"So what? You already have wives and sons, so you can take care of your naughty son when you have time! You've become a father, and you've been pestering your mother all the time, so feel free!" Cui Pu Said angrily.

Speaking of his wife and son, Mr. Da Lang's eyes softened significantly. "My wife just sent me a letter, and there is also the first big character written by my Dalang in it. It looks very pleasing! However, it took a long time to receive a letter from them. I can't see enough, so I want to come to Father's place to see if there is any more news! Brother, don't you think so?"

As he spoke, he quietly pushed Mr. Erlang who was standing beside him.

Mr. Erlang, who was drowsy, nodded quickly: "That's right, that's it!"

Cui Pu gave Erlang Jun a meaningful look: "I really doubt how your son was born."

"Actually, I'm also curious." Mr. Erlang scratched his head and smiled innocently, "But he must be my seed. I heard from my mother that my wife took great pains every day to prevent him from sleeping indiscriminately. Much less. As far as this ability is concerned, definitely follow me!"

He is quite proud!
Cui Pu's mouth twitched. "It's a pity that your wife never takes the initiative to write to you."

Mr. Erlang immediately lost his face. "Father, how can you be so cruel if you expose others but not your faults?"

"Because I'm in a bad mood!" Cui Pu said loudly.

How long has he not hugged his wife and seen her smiling face since he was away in battle?Although he could receive letters from Mu Jiaojiao almost every few days, but how could a few sheets of thin letter paper and a few words be able to understand the lovesickness in his heart?He can only kill the enemy with his head down, and fill the vacancy in his heart with the sword, light and sword shadow on the battlefield.However, this is not a long-term solution.

After a long time, he still feels empty.The longing for Mu Jiaojiao in his heart grew wildly like weeds, flooding into disasters.

If he knew this earlier, he shouldn't have had so many children with her, and let the children get married so early!Otherwise, she wouldn't have to leave him alone outside because she had to take care of those little babies in Chang'an!
As he thought about it, his cold eyes swept over Dalangjun and Erlangjun brothers one by one.

They have long been numb to such disgusting gazes, Da Langjun can see as much as he likes.Even Mr. Erlang doesn't care about things outside his body when he sleeps, so as long as his father is happy, he doesn't care about everything!
Cui Pu looked at the two sons for a long time, but he couldn't find any sense of existence in the two sons. He was in an extremely bad mood, so he shouted angrily: "Why are you standing here all stupidly? Why don't you go out to clean up the army, count the number of people and food, another day Let's go and have a good time with the rebels!"

It's best to wipe out those people quickly, and then they can go back to Chang'an to reunite with their family!

However, after all, because of the weakness of the sage on the throne and his inexplicable guard against the soldiers, coupled with the fact that the eunuch group has repeatedly provoked dissension and fought for power with the generals, the situation on the battlefield is sometimes good. bad.The rebels also grasped this point, fanning the flames and scaremongering everywhere, and the outcome of the war against the enemy is uncertain.Once the war was fought, another two years passed.

In the first year of the reign, the Supreme Emperor and the saint were seriously ill one after another, and the saint could not go to court for several months.The prince hurried back to Chang'an from the battlefield with the king of Fengjie County, and waited by the saint's side.

At the beginning of April, Mu Jiaojiao was called into the palace again.

The Supreme Emperor is no longer available.

Entering the nectar shop, she saw the Supreme Emperor lying on the couch, his face was wrinkled and his bones were broken.If she could not see his chest rising and falling slightly, she would have almost thought it was a puppet placed there.

Prince Hejian was sitting on the head of the bed, whispering something to him.

The sick saint was there too.Just because he couldn't support his body, he sat on a low couch in front of the bed, with Queen Zhang accompanying him.There are also princes, kings of Yue, kings of Fengjie County and other princes and grandchildren kneeling all over the ground below.

The Supreme Emperor didn't look at them, but raised his eyes and stared in the direction of the door.When Mu Jiaojiao appeared, he quickly raised his hand and waved at her with difficulty: "Mrs. Cui, you are here, come quickly!"

Mu Jiaojiao walked over slowly, stretching out his hand to feel his pulse, unexpectedly the Supreme Emperor shook his head and said: "Today I sent someone to invite you here, not to see a doctor, but just to have a last word with you."

Mu Jiaojiao lowered his hands. "The concubine and the emperor seem to have nothing to say."

Since returning to Chang'an, the Supreme Emperor has also expressed his desire to call Mu Jiaojiao several times.But because Mu Jiaojiao didn't care about this matter, the sage and Queen Zhang also stopped him one after another, so the trip never took place.If it wasn't for the fact that the Empress Dowager seemed to be dying this time, I'm afraid these two wouldn't let her in.

And now that they are allowed in, these two people insist on standing aside in the name of being filial to the Supreme Emperor, are they afraid that they will say something that is not good for them?Mu Jiaojiao suddenly felt that it was really ridiculous.

Hearing what she said, the Supreme Emperor had a wry smile on his face: "I always knew that you looked down on me. I knew it the first time I saw you, but I don't know why, but I like you very much. Maybe it's because Yuhuan likes you Right! I still remember when we first got together, she would mention you from time to time, the person she admired the most was you. She also said countless times that you are her noble person. If it wasn’t for you, she and I would just I am afraid that it will be difficult to meet, let alone stay together for many years in the future. Even before she died, she was always regretting that she did not listen to your words, otherwise we would not have fallen to this ending..."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing his tears rolling down his gully-filled cheeks and soon soaking the mattress under his body, Mu Jiaojiao's expression remained calm as before.

Slowly waiting until the old man was almost crying, she asked in a low voice: "I wonder if the Supreme Emperor still remembers Concubine Wu Hui? Do you remember King Shou?"

The Supreme Emperor was stunned, and Mu Jiaojiao asked again: "To this day, the rebel army has not been defeated yet, have you ever cared about how the war is going now, how the soldiers are fighting for many years, what is the current situation?"

The embarrassment on the Taishanghuang's face became more and more serious, and there was still a bit of shame visible.The tears in the corners of his eyes stopped dripping, and his eyes also began to avoid Mu Jiaojiao's gaze.

"Xiao Madam Cui, you are enough!" Seeing this, the saint immediately shouted, "The Supreme Emperor is already so seriously ill, why do you still use these foreign affairs to provoke him?"

The person lying there looking about to die is after all his biological father.Maybe he used to have hatred in his heart, but seeing him like this now, the sage couldn't hate him anymore.And now hearing Mu Jiaojiao accusing the Supreme Emperor so unceremoniously, he was even more angry - this is his father, he can accuse him, what qualifications does she have as an outsider?If it wasn't for his father's insistence on seeing her, he would have kicked her out now!

"Sanlang, don't scold her." The Supreme Emperor immediately waved his hands when he heard the words.

The saint stood up quickly. "Daddy."

"Sanlang, it's Father who is sorry for you." The Emperor Taishang gave him a guilty smile, "Madam Xiao Cui is right, Father is indeed old and confused. You have done too many wrong things in those years, and left you with a scarred and troubled life." Kong’s new Tang dynasty, that’s why you’ve been tortured into such a haggard appearance. And until now, I’m still indulging in love between men and women, and I have no regrets for the mistakes I made. I really deserve to die, right now This situation is all caused by me, but you have to clean up this mess, I am sorry for your father!"

"Father, don't say that!"

After hearing this, the sage felt that all the hatred in his heart had dissipated.With a plop, he knelt down in front of the couch, holding the hand of the Supreme Emperor tightly with both hands, and could not help crying like rain.

The Supreme Emperor also looked at him, tears rolling down again.

It wasn't until this time that the father and son finally settled their suspicions.

Empress Zhang also came forward, wiping her tears and whispering comfort to them.The maids and eunuchs around also wiped away their tears.

King Hejian looked at the situation, then got up and gave up the seat at the head of the bed, and slowly came to stand beside Mu Jiaojiao who had also retreated to one side.

"It's ridiculous," he whispered.

Mu Jiaojiao glanced at the picture of father's kindness and son's filial piety over there, and nodded, "It's quite ridiculous."

A remorse before death, a useless forgiveness, is there any benefit to the world, to the country, to the people who are still suffering from the flames of war?They are crying in each other's arms now, but it is just to make themselves feel better.

To put it bluntly, that is to deceive oneself and others.

However, it is obvious that the Supreme Emperor and the saint father and son are still very satisfied with this toss.

After crying a lot, the father and son gave up their previous feud, and the saint fell asleep with a relieved smile.Although the chest is still heaving up and down, but it seems that the air intake is less and the air output is more, and the time is running out.

After hearing what the imperial physician said, the saint became more and more mournful, and spit out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, it was Mu Jiaojiao who was right next to him, and quickly took out golden needles from the medical box of the accompanying imperial physician, and sealed the tendons and veins on several big acupoints for the sage, so that he could not continue to vomit blood.

It's just that, after all, he couldn't stay in Ganlu Hall any longer, so he was quickly sent back to the bedroom under the help of Queen Zhang.

"Little Madam Cui, come with us!" Queen Zhang said.

Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

"Little Madam Cui, please stay!" Mu Jiaojiao was about to leave after the people were settled, but she shouted when she didn't want the saint.

Mu Jiaojiao turned around: "I don't know what the sage has ordered?"

The saint covered his chest and looked at her with a sad face. "Just now in the Ganlu Hall, I didn't mean to scold you. It's true that the Supreme Emperor's appearance at that time was already very miserable. I really can't bear to let him leave with regrets in his heart."

"So now, Saint, do you feel more comfortable?" Mu Jiaojiao asked.

The saint nodded. "Much more comfortable."

After receiving the apology from the Supreme Emperor before his death, the relationship between father and son was repaired, and his mood was relaxed, which must be comfortable in his heart.At least, when he went to pay homage to the Supreme Emperor's spirit in the future, he would no longer have to feel guilty; a hundred years later, he would be able to sit with his father dignifiedly when he went underground.

"Saint, you feel comfortable, and the concubine feels comfortable after saying those words. So you don't have to apologize to the concubine, and the concubine just did what she wanted to do." Mu Jiaojiao said in a flat voice.

The saint was taken aback.

Mu Jiaojiao bent down and saluted again: "Sage, your body is weak, and you were too sad just now, and now your heart is overwhelmed. These days, you must take good care of yourself and calm down, so that your body can slowly recover. From now on, you should think less and rest more. Rest, presumably the Supreme Emperor would not want you to torture yourself like this."

After she finished speaking, she stepped back Shi Shiran.

Queen Zhang quickly sent people out.

When we got outside, Empress Zhang took Mu Jiaojiao's hand: "Little Madam Cui, your behavior with the Supreme Emperor today is indeed too aggressive, but the saint is actually grateful to you in his heart. If you didn't pierce this layer of window paper , the estrangement between the saint and the Supreme Emperor's father and son will be brought underground. If so, the saint will probably become more depressed in the future. You don't know, these days, the saint will be so sad every time he hears about the situation of the Supreme Emperor When it comes to dinner, no matter how much I try to persuade him, I can’t persuade him, and King Yue knelt in front of him and begged him, so that he can eat a few mouthfuls of food.”

"King Yue's filial piety is commendable, this is a blessing for a saint." Mu Jiaojiao nodded.

"That's right, King Yue has been filial since he was a child. This is what the sage has always praised. The sage has said it countless times. If King Yue hadn't been serving him diligently, I'm afraid he wouldn't have survived until now." Queen Zhang hurriedly said.

The corners of Mu Jiaojiao's lips tugged lightly. "In this way, the saint is blessed."

Besides, she closed her lips tightly and said nothing more.

Seeing this, Queen Zhang was very anxious.Obviously she has already spoken to this point, why Mu Jiaojiao just refuses to speak?Is it because the prince is the father of the king of Fengjie?But these days, their mother and son treat their family well!

"Little Madam Cui..."

"Empress, father is calling for you." The prince suddenly appeared and interrupted her.

Empress Zhang bit her lip, and had no choice but to hastily turn back to the saint.

The prince strolled to Mu Jiaojiao's side: "Mrs. Cui has worked hard today."

"It doesn't matter, presumably the rewards given by the sage will not be less." Mu Jiaojiao said.

The prince couldn't help but smile slightly. "Lonely ordered the King of Fengjie County to send rewards to your mansion. I don't know what Mrs. Cui would like?"

"Everything is at the discretion of His Royal Highness the Prince."
