Chapter 270 1 Dongchang Household with Bad Stomach
Chapter 270
As soon as Mu Yao heard this, she knew that Shen Yan probably felt that it was useless to treat others like a cow and a mate, so she might as well get this beating, so that she could have an explanation in front of the emperor.
"Is there such a cheap thing in this world?" Mu Yao refused, "Now you are more than just a whip, you—you, unless you chop off the arm that shouldn't be touched. Only I can give up. Otherwise, you, Shen Yan, owe me a debt, how can I suffer such a great humiliation as a young girl. "
The big girl with yellow flowers?
Shen Yan thought, it seems that on the night she and Zhao Wuyou got married, something happened to the Prime Minister's wife, so Zhao Wuyou had to keep his filial piety for three years.But after thinking about it, this Zhao Wuyou is more and more not a thing, it is said that he has kept his filial piety for three years, how can he just leave the princess alone and ruin his brother?It's really aggrieved that my elder brother was seriously injured.
Of course, this is what he thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it openly, otherwise he would be overwhelmed and walk around.
"Hand?" Shen Yan looked at his hand blankly. He was very satisfied with his hand, so he chopped it off just for a moment of anger. Not good, or is the low-ranking person out of his mind? Chopping hands?"
He looked at Mu Yao's arm, "The princess's arms are all in good shape, why should the humble official chop off the arm. Even if you touch something that shouldn't be touched, is it possible that the princess has to dig out her eyeballs? You can also see It’s not worth seeing, is it?”
Mu Yao's eyes widened in shock, and she stared at Shen Yan in disbelief.Ten thousand grass and mud horses trampled past him... He knew?He even knows?He knew what she saw that day, what did she see?
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, the princess's face was really red as soon as she said it.
Probably also thought of it, this princess is a woman who has left the court but has never experienced anything between men and women, she is still a young girl, and now she hears these words, naturally she will blush.
Mu Yao's breathing was a little short, "You—why is this person so shameless? Are all the people in Dongchang as thick-skinned as you? It's really, really shameless."
"Compared to the princess, I just touched him lightly through my clothes. The princess came in that day, and I just finished bathing. I guess—"
"Stop talking!" Before Shen Yan could finish speaking, Mu Yao yelled hysterically.
Shen Yan looked down at her condescendingly, "What's wrong with the princess?"
"Shameless!" Mu Yao spat, turned around and ran into her room.
Shen Yan touched his face innocently, this red mark might be difficult to get rid of, and he had to find a chance to talk to his brother.In case he came suddenly interested and easily entered the Shangshu's mansion, but because of this red seal, he would reveal his secrets.
After all, last time, this Lian Ming had a lot of gossip in front of Mu Yao.That Lian Ming looks very delicate, how could he be such a snarky person?
Shen Yan helplessly picked up the broom on the ground and took a whip, wondering if the princess's hatred had eased?It stands to reason that he just hurt her, so why should he suffer so much?
This matter had to be discussed with Lu Guoan, no matter how I thought about it, I felt abandoned.
Taking a look at himself, Shen Yan looked at the princess's closed door, thinking in his heart, his figure is not too bad to be invisible, right?Why does the princess feel like seeing a ghost when she sees herself?
Taking a deep breath, Shen Yan quietly left.
He seized the time, and at dusk, Lu Guoan would come over every now and then to have a look at him and exchange news with him, so that he would not know anything in Shangshu's mansion and cause trouble at that time.
As soon as I went today, it turned out that Lu Guoan had already entered the back door.
"You treat this Shangshu Mansion as your own backyard, you can come and go freely!" Shen Yan couldn't help teasing.
Lu Guoan smiled, "Did you get angry from the princess, and turned around and threw it on me?" After saying that, he smiled helplessly, "Forget it, I won't joke with you anymore, look at your face. Dao Hen, it is conceivable that you are not having a good time."
"No matter how difficult these days are, they are much better than the previous ones." Shen Yan froze, "What orders does Lord Qiantose have?"
"Just let me come and see you." Lu Guoan said with a smile, "See if my brother has been bullied enough. If not, then stay for two more days. Anyway, life in the Shangshu Mansion is considered leisure."
"Brother is coming in again?" Shen Yan cast a sideways glance at Lu Guoan.
Lu Guoan smiled apologetically, "No, let me come over and take a look, lest you change and we will be caught off guard. Looking at it now, I probably have to put a red mark on the face of Lord Chitose."
Speaking of this, Lu Guoan paused, "Is this like a whip mark? The county took the initiative to whip?" He hesitated, "Although the princess is unruly, he is not so cruel and ruthless. The whip, It must have been serious, what did you do to the princess?"
"What do you want me to do to the princess?" Shen Yan was very innocent, "It's the princess who is self-willed and unreasonable, so what does it have to do with me?"
"Hey, well, Shen Qianhu's words are wrong. The so-called unmarried men and women—it's nothing. There are still some things that have a future. If you can grasp it, maybe when the time comes, Lord Qiantose will The problem will be solved in the face of difficulties." Lu Guoan was full of bad words.
Shen Yan's eyelids twitched, "What do you mean? What does it mean to have a future? What does it mean to be strong? What does my side have to do with Lord Chitose? Lu Guoan, don't try to fool me with your cleverness. This car was ordered to make amends, not to talk about love."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is your fault. Think about it, the princess was born like a flower and a jade, and now she is lonely and cold alone in the vacant room. You are different from me. If I am not injured, I guess I can stand up. It’s worth it for the sake of Lord Qiantui!” Lu Guoan patted Shen Yan’s chest, “You said that your elder brother has suffered so much and suffered so much, and now it’s rare to see someone who falls in love with you, don’t you Will it be fulfilled?"
Shen Yan said, "You're talking too far, I don't understand."
"Then let's say that!" Lu Guoan said with a heartbeat, "If the princess waited for Mr. Zhao for three years and kept his filial piety for three years, he would not know that Mr. Zhao had an affair with our Lord Qiantui. What do you think the princess is?" Don't you have to make a big fuss in the capital?"
"The emperor knows about this trouble, and the whole capital and the whole world know about it. Then Lord Qiansui and Mr. Zhao, even if it's over, it's not worth it! There are three years to turn around, why waste it? You If you have the ability to accept the princess, isn't this problem not a problem?"
"At that time, the princess will still feel that she is sorry for Mrs. Zhao by cheating on her, and she has to help us in turn, don't you think so?"
Shen Yan looked at Lu Guoan as if looking at a monster, "Why do you use all your scheming and scheming on me? Anyway, you have worked together for many years, and you are so eager to push me out? Lu Guoan, let me tell you, Don't think I don't know you little bastards."
Lu Guoan clasped his hands together, "You're being polite, there's no such thing as scheming, we're all on our own, so there's no need for these four words, Shen Qianhu is too polite!"
"You don't come here." Shen Yan looked around, it was strange, every time Lu Guoan came, he couldn't even see a ghost near the backyard.I guess it was arranged by Suxi, right?
Shen Yan paused, and then said, "You have the ability, why don't you mess with that Suxi girl. That girl is also a good match for you, one is a good man, and the other is a chivalrous woman. Both of them are full of bad water, If we don’t get together, we can do less harm to people.”
After finishing speaking, Shen Yan hummed twice in protest.
"Something happened on the other side of Huanglan recently. If it is not handled properly, this peace agreement may be torn apart." Lu Guoan sighed softly, "So Lord Qiantui is eager to maintain peace in Daye, even if it is a false impression That's fine too."
"Huanglan?" Shen Yan frowned, "When I came back that day, didn't everyone say that Huanglan's generals were all dead? Zhao Wuyou's move to kill and stop killing was quite effective."
"Master Zhao has indeed done a good job, and it was quite effective at the beginning. But one person survived, and I don't know who was robbed later. Now letting the tiger go back to the mountain will eventually lead to a catastrophe." Lu Guoan worried, "This matter must be Properly deal with it, but Daye can't send troops now, after all, the trust between the two sides is not enough, if you send troops rashly, it will easily arouse the resistance of Huang Lan's soldiers."
Shen Yan nodded, "Huanglan has to solve it by himself."
"So we stand still for the time being. If the flames of war in Huanglan spread to Daye, then we have to take care of it. Taking advantage of the high mountains and the emperor's distance, we must suppress all the flames of war at the border. Otherwise, the agreement breaks down, and the emperor will hold the Shang Shufu accountable." And Dongchang's crime of dereliction of duty." Lu Guoan sighed softly, "That's why Lord Qiantui is coming over tonight to have a good discussion with Mr. Zhao."
Shen Yan paused, "It looks like it's really tricky."
"What I told you just now was just a joke. My original intention was to let you stabilize the princess, grab more bargaining chips, and try to minimize the foreseeable dangers and injuries." Lu Guoan clenched his hands Leng Jian, looking at the dusk, felt a little cold in his heart, "Once the flames of war start a prairie fire, many things will be unpredictable."
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes, "If there is a real war, I will take the lead for my brother."
"Okay!" Lu Guoan signaled him to stop, "If you can withdraw completely, you will be fine even if the mountains are high and the rivers will be long. This is the original intention of Lord Qiantose. If you take the lead, I guess Lord Qiantose should raise the sword and follow."
Shen Yan sneered, "I'm not a three-year-old child."
"If you are a three-year-old child, that's all right. Sending you directly to the mountains and forests to be fostered by hunters or hermits will save you worry. But you are not a three-year-old child. You should know the worries of Lord Chitose, and when you I understand the burden on my shoulders." Lu Guoan was rare to be serious, "This muddy water, Lord Qiantui waded in and then went out, why do you have to take it again?"
"What Lord Chitose hopes is that one day all things can be resolved satisfactorily without falling on you. He has no hope in this life, but you are all his hopes. You are the prince of Tilan, if you come This day—oh, of course, it may not happen, but there will be such a day after all." Lu Guoan let out a long breath.
Shen Yan's expression was not very good-looking, "Don't say such dejected words, I will keep an eye on the princess. As for the matter of Lord Qiantose, you can handle it yourself! In fact, I have known for a long time, since he took power, I have never been asked to take over the affairs of Dongchang. Unless you are helpless, you are basically handling it.
"Two brothers, it's enough for one to be bloody, why bother to get involved." Lu Guoan patted Shen Yan's shoulder, "I'll go back to Lord Qiantose, you can figure it out yourself!"
Shen Yan nodded, "I see, you go!"
The two broke up and left separately.
Evening sunset, dark night.
Lian Ming came after dinner, Zhao Wuyou was leaning on the soft couch, still sitting under the pear tree to enjoy the shade.The birds chirping and the insects chirping, the wind blowing and the candles shaking, it really is the best beauty in this summer.
Pour a glass of pear blossom wine, the wind blows over the temples, with a little bit of pear blossom wine fragrance, even the hair tips are dyed with a little fragrance, it smells very good.
"Master Zhao!" Lian Ming saluted.
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "Sit down!"
Lian Ming nodded, only Suxi was by Zhao Wuyou's side, and the surroundings seemed extraordinarily quiet.Su Xi was wiping her sword beside her, not paying attention to these two people, treating them as transparent and self-contained.
"I heard from the Princess that Mr. Zhao has been looking for me all afternoon?" Lian Ming said.But she knew in her heart that if Zhao Wuyou really had something urgent, the capital was so big, she would definitely be able to find herself immediately.
With such an indifferent attitude, it probably wasn't a big deal.
"It's nothing, I just feel that Mr. Lian's preferences are different from others, so I'm just curious!" Zhao Wuyou said to him, "I don't know what dramas Mr. Lian likes to listen to?"
Lian Ming smiled, "It's just something that everyone knows, don't worry about it!"
"In the afternoon, I heard a good story, and it's also a playbook, but it's hard to distinguish the truth from the falsehood." Zhao Wuyou said with a smile, "Mr. Lian, do you have time to listen to me?"
"All ears." Lian Ming clasped his hands together.
"The playbook says that there is a kingdom of gods in the north, which has always enshrined a goddess. This goddess is the connection between heaven and earth, so she is respected and worshiped by everyone in the north. That is a choice given by heaven. But one day, This goddess is reminiscent of the mortal." Speaking of this, Zhao Wuyou picked up the pear blossom sake in his hand, and took a sip, "This wine is not bad, you are lucky today, you can try it."
Lian Ming was startled, there was no smile on his face.Hearing this, he poured himself a glass of wine and sat at the stone table, but he didn't dare to look at Zhao Wuyou.Probably thinking about how Zhao Wuyou knew these things.
Zhao Wuyou smiled and said, "How does this wine taste?"
"Very elegant." Lian Ming responded.
"That was left to me by Yunzheng, the last cellar of pear blossom wine. When the pear blossoms bloom next year, I'm afraid I'll have to do it myself, but it's a pity that I can't make such a good craft as hers." Zhao Wuyou thought Since mourning.
This made Lian Ming anxious, why did Zhao Wuyou speak completely out of tune, telling stories?Why did you suddenly mention Yunzheng?If it continues like this, I guess I don't know what to say later.
"My lord hasn't finished that story yet," Lian Ming reminded.
Zhao Wuyou was stunned for a moment, "Story? Oh——if you don't remind me, I'd forget about it. As for me, I tend to talk too much when I'm drunk, and it's inevitable that I will talk nonsense. Don't mind."
Lian Ming shook his head, "How dare you."
"Yunzheng's wine tastes sweet and has an elegant aftertaste, it's really good wine." Zhao Wuyou seemed to be half drunk, leaning on the soft couch with a smile on his face, but his expression was a little sad, "I'm still reluctant to drink it myself? That girl Yunzheng..."
She paused, turned her head to look at Lian Ming's distraught appearance, her heart was cold, and she smiled, "Master Lian laughed, I'm such a disappointing person, half-spoken. That's all, we Let's continue talking about the playbook! Where did it go? When it comes to..."
Lian Ming said, "Speaking of Goddess Sifan."
"Oh, yes!" Zhao Wuyou replied with a smile, "You see, my memory is so bad that I forgot about it when I mentioned it. Now that I pick it up, I have to think about it carefully, otherwise it will be really short-lived. I can’t take it.”
Lian Ming took a deep breath, "Goddess Sifan, it must be a big deal, right? She will be punished."
"Mr. Lian has listened to a lot of playbooks, and his brain is more flexible than mine." Zhao Wuyou smiled, "It is said that this goddess is thinking of the world, and she violated the clan rules, so she will be punished accordingly. The clansmen forced her to speak out. Make a poisonous oath not to use Gu to poison others, from now on you will no longer be a member of the clan."
"She was expelled from the country by the clansmen to find the emperor she was destined for. She went around and wandered in the world, but she still failed to find her sweetheart. It is pitiful to say that if she is not a good goddess, she has to do that. A fallen woman."
"At the end of the day, I will die alone, and I will not end well."
Lian Ming was startled, "Why does Mr. Zhao think that she will end up alone and not have a good death?"
"Could it be that there is another version?" Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "That's what I heard. It really was an untimely death, not a good one. A thin woman who gave up everything to pursue love, but what happened in the end? A passionate woman Heartbroken, after all, is the cruelest curse in the world."
"Maybe this woman has found the love of her life, and she will stay with him forever, and make a vow to never be separated." Lian Ming was resolute.
"Oh, Mr. Lian thinks this ending is not very good, so do you want to change it?" Zhao Wuyou smiled meaningfully, in the flickering candle shadow, he couldn't really see her true face.
Lian Ming sighed softly, "This ending is too sad, it's really not good. Life is too bitter, there are already too many tortures, why bother to listen to such a sad song? Since the play is written, why not change it to have a lover How nice it is to be married!"
"That's good! But don't you know that regrets are the only things that can last forever?" Zhao Wuyou looked at him, "After the Great Zhou Dynasty, only when Fanghua died young, will there be regrets for future generations."
Lian Ming sneered, "It's just that this didn't end well, it was indeed a bit vicious."
"Betraying God's will, betraying one's clan and country, isn't it vicious?" Zhao Wuyou retorted, "A man is a man if he never forgets his true nature, otherwise he is no different from a beast?"
"She hasn't forgotten her roots!" Lian Ming yelled and stood up in an uproar.
Xu Shi suddenly realized that he was a little emotional, and sat down cautiously, "Sorry, I just think the story of the goddess is too sad, maybe she has her own love, it's just a word, and it's hard to love Please, it’s really not human power that can change it.”
"People live forever, but they want to have no regrets." Zhao Wuyou said, "Is your mother's story nice?"
Lian Ming smiled wryly, "I knew it, you were deceiving me again."
"If you don't tell the truth yourself, it's not me who cheated you once. It's really boring." Zhao Wuyou looked displeased.
"It's just, how do you know so clearly? The matter of the goddess of the witch clan has long been lost in the yellow sand with the destruction of Tilan, and it is impossible for anyone to know about it." Lian Ming looked at Zhao Wuyou suspiciously, "You Do you know the Wu Clan?"
"Not only do I know the Wu clan, but I also know that your mother's name is Zhaoxue. Because it snowed in the desert the year she was born, and the snow fell heavily, it was considered by the clan to be an auspicious omen. So many people think, Your mother is a goddess." Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "It's a pity that the goddess who is about to succeed her fell in love and ran away with others."
Zhao Wuyou settled down, "What I didn't even expect was that your mother would run away with King Qi You and fall in love with Xiao Rong. In the past, Tilan was destroyed by Xiao Rong and others, your mother's heart Don't you have any resentment? Regardless of whether Xiao Rong sincerely went to war or not, at least he is the leader of the army, there is no doubt about it. If you are married, you don't even care about your own family and country?"
"No!" Lian Ming said, "My mother has not forgotten."
"Then tell me, how did Tilan get destroyed?" Zhao Wuyou asked.
"Before my father left, he swore to my mother that he would never harm the people of Tilan, let alone the elders and children of the Wu clan. Those are my mother's people, and they are my mother's roots. Back then, my mother betrayed How can I hurt them now?" Lian Ming straightened his body, "Father said, if you have to, you should use bitter tactics."
Zhao Wuyou paused, "A bitter trick? Is that the arrow in your father's chest?"
"Yes!" Lian Ming said, "King Qi You was injured at that time, and everyone inside and outside the capital must have known about it. The arrow was true, but there were some accidents later. Duke Mu died at the border. I think at that time, My father should not be here anymore. My mother said that she was staying in the Mingjing Building in the capital at that time, and she also had some feelings. On the day my father was shot by an arrow, my mother gave birth to me in the Mingjing Building."
"That gold inlaid jade lock was left by your father?" Zhao Wuyou asked.
"Yes!" Lian Ming nodded, "Unfortunately, I didn't wait for my father to come back."
Zhao Wuyou frowned, "The real King Qi You didn't come back, but the fake one came back, saw your mothers, and didn't kill you both?"
"Oh, just him?" Lian Ming sneered, "Didn't Master Zhao just say that? My mother is almost a goddess, but it's just one step away. But if she doesn't become a goddess, it doesn't mean that those abilities have disappeared. Falcon is the name, and the letters between each other are written with secret notes that can only be understood by each other. But later, Eagle Falcon returned as usual, but the secret notes disappeared.”
Zhao Wuyou paused, "Just based on this, your mother thinks there is something strange about this matter?"
"My father loves my mother very much. You can imagine how he thought about building a building of mirrors for her and giving up the throne he got. How could he forget the agreement with the woman he loves the most? The falcon is still going on, secret memory But it disappeared, and there was no news of King Qi You's death at the border. My mother is so smart, how could she not have thought of what this means." Lian Ming smiled bitterly, "Until the news of Duke Mu's death came, my mother was in despair. "
"The maidservants in the Mingjing Building are my father's carefully selected confidantes, and they only obey my mother. Therefore, my mother has been in Qiyou Palace for so long, and no one has ever seen her. Due to her status, she never refused to give up. Take half a step out of the Mingjing Building. The tunnels under the Mingjing Building can lead to all the rooms of King Qiyou's mansion. There is a tunnel that leads directly to the outside of the city."
Zhao Wuyou frowned, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Lian Ming asked, "I'm telling the truth. My mother left like this at the beginning without anyone noticing, so everyone in Qi You Palace said that my mother probably ran away with someone and disappeared."
"I just wonder if your mother will regret this?" Zhao Wuyou asked, "If your father forgets the password because of the tension of the war, and loses his wife and children when he returns home, how would he feel?"
"I asked my mother the same question." Lian Ming smiled wryly, "My mother said, when you experience that kind of unforgettable love, when you give birth to your own flesh and blood with the person you love, your thoughts and thoughts will be different. No one can replace that kind of tacit understanding and affection. My mother lost my father, so she must try her best to keep me. Because in this world, only my existence can prove that she and my father really loved each other. have stayed together."
Zhao Wuyou didn't say a word. After a long time, there will be a tacit understanding.It's like she and Mu Baili, sometimes it's not her who sees his words and expressions, but just has an inexplicable induction, and suddenly understands his emotions.
If you like someone, you want to be his joy, anger, sorrow and joy, right?
"Master Zhao, can you tell me why you still want my mother's name when you know about the Goddess?" Lian Ming said, "You know I didn't know my mother's name until my mother passed away."
"If I say that there are people from the Wu Clan living in this world, do you believe it?" Zhao Wuyou asked.
Lian Ming stiffened his body, turned to look at Su Xi who was beside him.
Su Xi put her cold sword back into its sheath, "Don't look at me, it's useless if you look at me, I'm a native of Daye, my ancestral home is Daye, do you understand?"
"It counts as a family." Zhao Wuyou said meaningfully, "Go back first!"
"A family?" Lian Ming looked at Zhao Wuyou in disbelief, and looked up and down Zhao Wuyou in front of him.Her face is undoubtedly from Daye people, but she always feels that her facial features are more distinct than Daye people's, and the other things are nothing.
But he didn't know that the woman from Daye was not as tall as the women outside the pass, and her height was completely beyond the standard of women from Daye at this time.Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to deceive so many people by disguising herself as a man.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Zhao Wuyou was a daughter.
"Some things, you will understand in the future." Zhao Wuyou took a sip of pear blossom wine, "Go back and think about it, maybe you will come back to me in a short time."
Lian Ming nodded, saluted and turned to leave.
After walking two steps away, he turned back to look at Zhao Wuyou with ulterior motives, "Master Zhao, have you heard the rumors outside?"
"What rumor?" Zhao Wuyou asked with a smile.
"Whoever wins the brocade box wins the world." He looked at her with complicated eyes, "I only told you about this."
"It's me." Zhao Wuyou nodded, "The news comes from the Shangshu Mansion."
"I understand." Lian Ming sighed, "But I still choose to trust you, I think I probably have no way out. If the Wu clan is still alive, please tell me that I will follow my mother no matter what. Last wish, to protect the Zhouquan of the Wu Clan to the death. Although Tilan is gone, I am still there, and my body is full of the blood of the Wu Clan."
After saying that, he walked away.
It wasn't until Lian Ming walked out of Tingfeng Building that Wen Gu fell from the top of the tree and sat down on the stone table with a solemn expression, without saying a word.
Zhao Wuyou put down the cup in his hand, "Have you heard it all? Do you think his words are true or false?"
"It's not all true, but it's not all false." Wen Gu poured a glass of wine and drank it all at once, "I'm just a little uncomfortable and emotional. Tilan has been destroyed for so many years, and the Wu clan has also disappeared from the world. I didn’t expect that there are still people alive in this world today.”
"It doesn't matter whether my mother is from Daye or not, she is your wife, she is the goddess of the Wu clan, so she is from the Wu clan." Zhao Wuyou looked at the starry sky, not looking at Wen Gu's face, "I am also from the Wu clan. "
Wen Gu's body trembled, and he fixed his eyebrows to look at the young man in plain clothes and white clothes.
She looked up at the stars, "The stars in the desert are more beautiful than those in the capital. If I could choose, I still like the scenery of the desert. Although it is bleak, it is magnificent, and there are not so many intrigues."
"When you were with my mother, did you also like to look at the stars and the moon? When I was in Huanglan, I especially liked to look at the night sky. It's really beautiful."
With tears in his eyes, Wen Gu said, "Yeah, my favorite thing to do is to accompany her to the sand jujube forest, and sit together to watch the stars and the moon. She will rest her head on my shoulder, and I will hold her hand tightly, thinking Don't let go of this life. Sometimes I foolishly think that if the sun doesn't rise, it will be great if I can sit until the end of time."
Zhao Wuyou looked back at him, the choking in his tone was obvious.She knew that he was sad, and she also knew that this kind of sadness was a vacancy that could not be filled in a lifetime.
It is a lifelong regret that it cannot be fulfilled.
Taking a sip of the wine in the glass, Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath, she wondered if she should do something too.Some things are really just a difficult first step, as long as you take this step, the rest will follow.
She glanced at Suxi and put down the wine glass in her hand, "Suxi, go and get me another pot of pear blossom wine. When the time comes, Lord Qiantose will come and I can taste the taste. That guy is used to being greedy, just like me." something."
"Yes!" Su Xi turned and left without doubting him.
Wen Gu forced back the tears in his eyes, and whispered softly, "Your body has just recovered, and the cold poison in your body has not been completely eliminated, so don't be willful, and don't be careless. You can still drink this wine in the future, so let's drink less now. Try it. That's all for the taste!"
Zhao Wuyou looked at him steadfastly, without saying a word.
"What's the matter?" Wen Gu paused, "I, I'm just——I'm just afraid that you'll ruin your health from drinking, so don't take it to heart, I won't say anything."
Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, bit the rim of his cup and said in a low voice, "I see, Dad."
Wen Gu was startled at first, then froze on the spot.
She just... What did she call him just now?
(End of this chapter)
As soon as Mu Yao heard this, she knew that Shen Yan probably felt that it was useless to treat others like a cow and a mate, so she might as well get this beating, so that she could have an explanation in front of the emperor.
"Is there such a cheap thing in this world?" Mu Yao refused, "Now you are more than just a whip, you—you, unless you chop off the arm that shouldn't be touched. Only I can give up. Otherwise, you, Shen Yan, owe me a debt, how can I suffer such a great humiliation as a young girl. "
The big girl with yellow flowers?
Shen Yan thought, it seems that on the night she and Zhao Wuyou got married, something happened to the Prime Minister's wife, so Zhao Wuyou had to keep his filial piety for three years.But after thinking about it, this Zhao Wuyou is more and more not a thing, it is said that he has kept his filial piety for three years, how can he just leave the princess alone and ruin his brother?It's really aggrieved that my elder brother was seriously injured.
Of course, this is what he thought in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it openly, otherwise he would be overwhelmed and walk around.
"Hand?" Shen Yan looked at his hand blankly. He was very satisfied with his hand, so he chopped it off just for a moment of anger. Not good, or is the low-ranking person out of his mind? Chopping hands?"
He looked at Mu Yao's arm, "The princess's arms are all in good shape, why should the humble official chop off the arm. Even if you touch something that shouldn't be touched, is it possible that the princess has to dig out her eyeballs? You can also see It’s not worth seeing, is it?”
Mu Yao's eyes widened in shock, and she stared at Shen Yan in disbelief.Ten thousand grass and mud horses trampled past him... He knew?He even knows?He knew what she saw that day, what did she see?
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, the princess's face was really red as soon as she said it.
Probably also thought of it, this princess is a woman who has left the court but has never experienced anything between men and women, she is still a young girl, and now she hears these words, naturally she will blush.
Mu Yao's breathing was a little short, "You—why is this person so shameless? Are all the people in Dongchang as thick-skinned as you? It's really, really shameless."
"Compared to the princess, I just touched him lightly through my clothes. The princess came in that day, and I just finished bathing. I guess—"
"Stop talking!" Before Shen Yan could finish speaking, Mu Yao yelled hysterically.
Shen Yan looked down at her condescendingly, "What's wrong with the princess?"
"Shameless!" Mu Yao spat, turned around and ran into her room.
Shen Yan touched his face innocently, this red mark might be difficult to get rid of, and he had to find a chance to talk to his brother.In case he came suddenly interested and easily entered the Shangshu's mansion, but because of this red seal, he would reveal his secrets.
After all, last time, this Lian Ming had a lot of gossip in front of Mu Yao.That Lian Ming looks very delicate, how could he be such a snarky person?
Shen Yan helplessly picked up the broom on the ground and took a whip, wondering if the princess's hatred had eased?It stands to reason that he just hurt her, so why should he suffer so much?
This matter had to be discussed with Lu Guoan, no matter how I thought about it, I felt abandoned.
Taking a look at himself, Shen Yan looked at the princess's closed door, thinking in his heart, his figure is not too bad to be invisible, right?Why does the princess feel like seeing a ghost when she sees herself?
Taking a deep breath, Shen Yan quietly left.
He seized the time, and at dusk, Lu Guoan would come over every now and then to have a look at him and exchange news with him, so that he would not know anything in Shangshu's mansion and cause trouble at that time.
As soon as I went today, it turned out that Lu Guoan had already entered the back door.
"You treat this Shangshu Mansion as your own backyard, you can come and go freely!" Shen Yan couldn't help teasing.
Lu Guoan smiled, "Did you get angry from the princess, and turned around and threw it on me?" After saying that, he smiled helplessly, "Forget it, I won't joke with you anymore, look at your face. Dao Hen, it is conceivable that you are not having a good time."
"No matter how difficult these days are, they are much better than the previous ones." Shen Yan froze, "What orders does Lord Qiantose have?"
"Just let me come and see you." Lu Guoan said with a smile, "See if my brother has been bullied enough. If not, then stay for two more days. Anyway, life in the Shangshu Mansion is considered leisure."
"Brother is coming in again?" Shen Yan cast a sideways glance at Lu Guoan.
Lu Guoan smiled apologetically, "No, let me come over and take a look, lest you change and we will be caught off guard. Looking at it now, I probably have to put a red mark on the face of Lord Chitose."
Speaking of this, Lu Guoan paused, "Is this like a whip mark? The county took the initiative to whip?" He hesitated, "Although the princess is unruly, he is not so cruel and ruthless. The whip, It must have been serious, what did you do to the princess?"
"What do you want me to do to the princess?" Shen Yan was very innocent, "It's the princess who is self-willed and unreasonable, so what does it have to do with me?"
"Hey, well, Shen Qianhu's words are wrong. The so-called unmarried men and women—it's nothing. There are still some things that have a future. If you can grasp it, maybe when the time comes, Lord Qiantose will The problem will be solved in the face of difficulties." Lu Guoan was full of bad words.
Shen Yan's eyelids twitched, "What do you mean? What does it mean to have a future? What does it mean to be strong? What does my side have to do with Lord Chitose? Lu Guoan, don't try to fool me with your cleverness. This car was ordered to make amends, not to talk about love."
"Tsk tsk tsk, this is your fault. Think about it, the princess was born like a flower and a jade, and now she is lonely and cold alone in the vacant room. You are different from me. If I am not injured, I guess I can stand up. It’s worth it for the sake of Lord Qiantui!” Lu Guoan patted Shen Yan’s chest, “You said that your elder brother has suffered so much and suffered so much, and now it’s rare to see someone who falls in love with you, don’t you Will it be fulfilled?"
Shen Yan said, "You're talking too far, I don't understand."
"Then let's say that!" Lu Guoan said with a heartbeat, "If the princess waited for Mr. Zhao for three years and kept his filial piety for three years, he would not know that Mr. Zhao had an affair with our Lord Qiantui. What do you think the princess is?" Don't you have to make a big fuss in the capital?"
"The emperor knows about this trouble, and the whole capital and the whole world know about it. Then Lord Qiansui and Mr. Zhao, even if it's over, it's not worth it! There are three years to turn around, why waste it? You If you have the ability to accept the princess, isn't this problem not a problem?"
"At that time, the princess will still feel that she is sorry for Mrs. Zhao by cheating on her, and she has to help us in turn, don't you think so?"
Shen Yan looked at Lu Guoan as if looking at a monster, "Why do you use all your scheming and scheming on me? Anyway, you have worked together for many years, and you are so eager to push me out? Lu Guoan, let me tell you, Don't think I don't know you little bastards."
Lu Guoan clasped his hands together, "You're being polite, there's no such thing as scheming, we're all on our own, so there's no need for these four words, Shen Qianhu is too polite!"
"You don't come here." Shen Yan looked around, it was strange, every time Lu Guoan came, he couldn't even see a ghost near the backyard.I guess it was arranged by Suxi, right?
Shen Yan paused, and then said, "You have the ability, why don't you mess with that Suxi girl. That girl is also a good match for you, one is a good man, and the other is a chivalrous woman. Both of them are full of bad water, If we don’t get together, we can do less harm to people.”
After finishing speaking, Shen Yan hummed twice in protest.
"Something happened on the other side of Huanglan recently. If it is not handled properly, this peace agreement may be torn apart." Lu Guoan sighed softly, "So Lord Qiantui is eager to maintain peace in Daye, even if it is a false impression That's fine too."
"Huanglan?" Shen Yan frowned, "When I came back that day, didn't everyone say that Huanglan's generals were all dead? Zhao Wuyou's move to kill and stop killing was quite effective."
"Master Zhao has indeed done a good job, and it was quite effective at the beginning. But one person survived, and I don't know who was robbed later. Now letting the tiger go back to the mountain will eventually lead to a catastrophe." Lu Guoan worried, "This matter must be Properly deal with it, but Daye can't send troops now, after all, the trust between the two sides is not enough, if you send troops rashly, it will easily arouse the resistance of Huang Lan's soldiers."
Shen Yan nodded, "Huanglan has to solve it by himself."
"So we stand still for the time being. If the flames of war in Huanglan spread to Daye, then we have to take care of it. Taking advantage of the high mountains and the emperor's distance, we must suppress all the flames of war at the border. Otherwise, the agreement breaks down, and the emperor will hold the Shang Shufu accountable." And Dongchang's crime of dereliction of duty." Lu Guoan sighed softly, "That's why Lord Qiantui is coming over tonight to have a good discussion with Mr. Zhao."
Shen Yan paused, "It looks like it's really tricky."
"What I told you just now was just a joke. My original intention was to let you stabilize the princess, grab more bargaining chips, and try to minimize the foreseeable dangers and injuries." Lu Guoan clenched his hands Leng Jian, looking at the dusk, felt a little cold in his heart, "Once the flames of war start a prairie fire, many things will be unpredictable."
Shen Yan narrowed his eyes, "If there is a real war, I will take the lead for my brother."
"Okay!" Lu Guoan signaled him to stop, "If you can withdraw completely, you will be fine even if the mountains are high and the rivers will be long. This is the original intention of Lord Qiantose. If you take the lead, I guess Lord Qiantose should raise the sword and follow."
Shen Yan sneered, "I'm not a three-year-old child."
"If you are a three-year-old child, that's all right. Sending you directly to the mountains and forests to be fostered by hunters or hermits will save you worry. But you are not a three-year-old child. You should know the worries of Lord Chitose, and when you I understand the burden on my shoulders." Lu Guoan was rare to be serious, "This muddy water, Lord Qiantui waded in and then went out, why do you have to take it again?"
"What Lord Chitose hopes is that one day all things can be resolved satisfactorily without falling on you. He has no hope in this life, but you are all his hopes. You are the prince of Tilan, if you come This day—oh, of course, it may not happen, but there will be such a day after all." Lu Guoan let out a long breath.
Shen Yan's expression was not very good-looking, "Don't say such dejected words, I will keep an eye on the princess. As for the matter of Lord Qiantose, you can handle it yourself! In fact, I have known for a long time, since he took power, I have never been asked to take over the affairs of Dongchang. Unless you are helpless, you are basically handling it.
"Two brothers, it's enough for one to be bloody, why bother to get involved." Lu Guoan patted Shen Yan's shoulder, "I'll go back to Lord Qiantose, you can figure it out yourself!"
Shen Yan nodded, "I see, you go!"
The two broke up and left separately.
Evening sunset, dark night.
Lian Ming came after dinner, Zhao Wuyou was leaning on the soft couch, still sitting under the pear tree to enjoy the shade.The birds chirping and the insects chirping, the wind blowing and the candles shaking, it really is the best beauty in this summer.
Pour a glass of pear blossom wine, the wind blows over the temples, with a little bit of pear blossom wine fragrance, even the hair tips are dyed with a little fragrance, it smells very good.
"Master Zhao!" Lian Ming saluted.
Zhao Wuyou nodded, "Sit down!"
Lian Ming nodded, only Suxi was by Zhao Wuyou's side, and the surroundings seemed extraordinarily quiet.Su Xi was wiping her sword beside her, not paying attention to these two people, treating them as transparent and self-contained.
"I heard from the Princess that Mr. Zhao has been looking for me all afternoon?" Lian Ming said.But she knew in her heart that if Zhao Wuyou really had something urgent, the capital was so big, she would definitely be able to find herself immediately.
With such an indifferent attitude, it probably wasn't a big deal.
"It's nothing, I just feel that Mr. Lian's preferences are different from others, so I'm just curious!" Zhao Wuyou said to him, "I don't know what dramas Mr. Lian likes to listen to?"
Lian Ming smiled, "It's just something that everyone knows, don't worry about it!"
"In the afternoon, I heard a good story, and it's also a playbook, but it's hard to distinguish the truth from the falsehood." Zhao Wuyou said with a smile, "Mr. Lian, do you have time to listen to me?"
"All ears." Lian Ming clasped his hands together.
"The playbook says that there is a kingdom of gods in the north, which has always enshrined a goddess. This goddess is the connection between heaven and earth, so she is respected and worshiped by everyone in the north. That is a choice given by heaven. But one day, This goddess is reminiscent of the mortal." Speaking of this, Zhao Wuyou picked up the pear blossom sake in his hand, and took a sip, "This wine is not bad, you are lucky today, you can try it."
Lian Ming was startled, there was no smile on his face.Hearing this, he poured himself a glass of wine and sat at the stone table, but he didn't dare to look at Zhao Wuyou.Probably thinking about how Zhao Wuyou knew these things.
Zhao Wuyou smiled and said, "How does this wine taste?"
"Very elegant." Lian Ming responded.
"That was left to me by Yunzheng, the last cellar of pear blossom wine. When the pear blossoms bloom next year, I'm afraid I'll have to do it myself, but it's a pity that I can't make such a good craft as hers." Zhao Wuyou thought Since mourning.
This made Lian Ming anxious, why did Zhao Wuyou speak completely out of tune, telling stories?Why did you suddenly mention Yunzheng?If it continues like this, I guess I don't know what to say later.
"My lord hasn't finished that story yet," Lian Ming reminded.
Zhao Wuyou was stunned for a moment, "Story? Oh——if you don't remind me, I'd forget about it. As for me, I tend to talk too much when I'm drunk, and it's inevitable that I will talk nonsense. Don't mind."
Lian Ming shook his head, "How dare you."
"Yunzheng's wine tastes sweet and has an elegant aftertaste, it's really good wine." Zhao Wuyou seemed to be half drunk, leaning on the soft couch with a smile on his face, but his expression was a little sad, "I'm still reluctant to drink it myself? That girl Yunzheng..."
She paused, turned her head to look at Lian Ming's distraught appearance, her heart was cold, and she smiled, "Master Lian laughed, I'm such a disappointing person, half-spoken. That's all, we Let's continue talking about the playbook! Where did it go? When it comes to..."
Lian Ming said, "Speaking of Goddess Sifan."
"Oh, yes!" Zhao Wuyou replied with a smile, "You see, my memory is so bad that I forgot about it when I mentioned it. Now that I pick it up, I have to think about it carefully, otherwise it will be really short-lived. I can’t take it.”
Lian Ming took a deep breath, "Goddess Sifan, it must be a big deal, right? She will be punished."
"Mr. Lian has listened to a lot of playbooks, and his brain is more flexible than mine." Zhao Wuyou smiled, "It is said that this goddess is thinking of the world, and she violated the clan rules, so she will be punished accordingly. The clansmen forced her to speak out. Make a poisonous oath not to use Gu to poison others, from now on you will no longer be a member of the clan."
"She was expelled from the country by the clansmen to find the emperor she was destined for. She went around and wandered in the world, but she still failed to find her sweetheart. It is pitiful to say that if she is not a good goddess, she has to do that. A fallen woman."
"At the end of the day, I will die alone, and I will not end well."
Lian Ming was startled, "Why does Mr. Zhao think that she will end up alone and not have a good death?"
"Could it be that there is another version?" Zhao Wuyou shook his head, "That's what I heard. It really was an untimely death, not a good one. A thin woman who gave up everything to pursue love, but what happened in the end? A passionate woman Heartbroken, after all, is the cruelest curse in the world."
"Maybe this woman has found the love of her life, and she will stay with him forever, and make a vow to never be separated." Lian Ming was resolute.
"Oh, Mr. Lian thinks this ending is not very good, so do you want to change it?" Zhao Wuyou smiled meaningfully, in the flickering candle shadow, he couldn't really see her true face.
Lian Ming sighed softly, "This ending is too sad, it's really not good. Life is too bitter, there are already too many tortures, why bother to listen to such a sad song? Since the play is written, why not change it to have a lover How nice it is to be married!"
"That's good! But don't you know that regrets are the only things that can last forever?" Zhao Wuyou looked at him, "After the Great Zhou Dynasty, only when Fanghua died young, will there be regrets for future generations."
Lian Ming sneered, "It's just that this didn't end well, it was indeed a bit vicious."
"Betraying God's will, betraying one's clan and country, isn't it vicious?" Zhao Wuyou retorted, "A man is a man if he never forgets his true nature, otherwise he is no different from a beast?"
"She hasn't forgotten her roots!" Lian Ming yelled and stood up in an uproar.
Xu Shi suddenly realized that he was a little emotional, and sat down cautiously, "Sorry, I just think the story of the goddess is too sad, maybe she has her own love, it's just a word, and it's hard to love Please, it’s really not human power that can change it.”
"People live forever, but they want to have no regrets." Zhao Wuyou said, "Is your mother's story nice?"
Lian Ming smiled wryly, "I knew it, you were deceiving me again."
"If you don't tell the truth yourself, it's not me who cheated you once. It's really boring." Zhao Wuyou looked displeased.
"It's just, how do you know so clearly? The matter of the goddess of the witch clan has long been lost in the yellow sand with the destruction of Tilan, and it is impossible for anyone to know about it." Lian Ming looked at Zhao Wuyou suspiciously, "You Do you know the Wu Clan?"
"Not only do I know the Wu clan, but I also know that your mother's name is Zhaoxue. Because it snowed in the desert the year she was born, and the snow fell heavily, it was considered by the clan to be an auspicious omen. So many people think, Your mother is a goddess." Zhao Wuyou smiled coldly, "It's a pity that the goddess who is about to succeed her fell in love and ran away with others."
Zhao Wuyou settled down, "What I didn't even expect was that your mother would run away with King Qi You and fall in love with Xiao Rong. In the past, Tilan was destroyed by Xiao Rong and others, your mother's heart Don't you have any resentment? Regardless of whether Xiao Rong sincerely went to war or not, at least he is the leader of the army, there is no doubt about it. If you are married, you don't even care about your own family and country?"
"No!" Lian Ming said, "My mother has not forgotten."
"Then tell me, how did Tilan get destroyed?" Zhao Wuyou asked.
"Before my father left, he swore to my mother that he would never harm the people of Tilan, let alone the elders and children of the Wu clan. Those are my mother's people, and they are my mother's roots. Back then, my mother betrayed How can I hurt them now?" Lian Ming straightened his body, "Father said, if you have to, you should use bitter tactics."
Zhao Wuyou paused, "A bitter trick? Is that the arrow in your father's chest?"
"Yes!" Lian Ming said, "King Qi You was injured at that time, and everyone inside and outside the capital must have known about it. The arrow was true, but there were some accidents later. Duke Mu died at the border. I think at that time, My father should not be here anymore. My mother said that she was staying in the Mingjing Building in the capital at that time, and she also had some feelings. On the day my father was shot by an arrow, my mother gave birth to me in the Mingjing Building."
"That gold inlaid jade lock was left by your father?" Zhao Wuyou asked.
"Yes!" Lian Ming nodded, "Unfortunately, I didn't wait for my father to come back."
Zhao Wuyou frowned, "The real King Qi You didn't come back, but the fake one came back, saw your mothers, and didn't kill you both?"
"Oh, just him?" Lian Ming sneered, "Didn't Master Zhao just say that? My mother is almost a goddess, but it's just one step away. But if she doesn't become a goddess, it doesn't mean that those abilities have disappeared. Falcon is the name, and the letters between each other are written with secret notes that can only be understood by each other. But later, Eagle Falcon returned as usual, but the secret notes disappeared.”
Zhao Wuyou paused, "Just based on this, your mother thinks there is something strange about this matter?"
"My father loves my mother very much. You can imagine how he thought about building a building of mirrors for her and giving up the throne he got. How could he forget the agreement with the woman he loves the most? The falcon is still going on, secret memory But it disappeared, and there was no news of King Qi You's death at the border. My mother is so smart, how could she not have thought of what this means." Lian Ming smiled bitterly, "Until the news of Duke Mu's death came, my mother was in despair. "
"The maidservants in the Mingjing Building are my father's carefully selected confidantes, and they only obey my mother. Therefore, my mother has been in Qiyou Palace for so long, and no one has ever seen her. Due to her status, she never refused to give up. Take half a step out of the Mingjing Building. The tunnels under the Mingjing Building can lead to all the rooms of King Qiyou's mansion. There is a tunnel that leads directly to the outside of the city."
Zhao Wuyou frowned, and suddenly laughed out loud.
"What are you laughing at?" Lian Ming asked, "I'm telling the truth. My mother left like this at the beginning without anyone noticing, so everyone in Qi You Palace said that my mother probably ran away with someone and disappeared."
"I just wonder if your mother will regret this?" Zhao Wuyou asked, "If your father forgets the password because of the tension of the war, and loses his wife and children when he returns home, how would he feel?"
"I asked my mother the same question." Lian Ming smiled wryly, "My mother said, when you experience that kind of unforgettable love, when you give birth to your own flesh and blood with the person you love, your thoughts and thoughts will be different. No one can replace that kind of tacit understanding and affection. My mother lost my father, so she must try her best to keep me. Because in this world, only my existence can prove that she and my father really loved each other. have stayed together."
Zhao Wuyou didn't say a word. After a long time, there will be a tacit understanding.It's like she and Mu Baili, sometimes it's not her who sees his words and expressions, but just has an inexplicable induction, and suddenly understands his emotions.
If you like someone, you want to be his joy, anger, sorrow and joy, right?
"Master Zhao, can you tell me why you still want my mother's name when you know about the Goddess?" Lian Ming said, "You know I didn't know my mother's name until my mother passed away."
"If I say that there are people from the Wu Clan living in this world, do you believe it?" Zhao Wuyou asked.
Lian Ming stiffened his body, turned to look at Su Xi who was beside him.
Su Xi put her cold sword back into its sheath, "Don't look at me, it's useless if you look at me, I'm a native of Daye, my ancestral home is Daye, do you understand?"
"It counts as a family." Zhao Wuyou said meaningfully, "Go back first!"
"A family?" Lian Ming looked at Zhao Wuyou in disbelief, and looked up and down Zhao Wuyou in front of him.Her face is undoubtedly from Daye people, but she always feels that her facial features are more distinct than Daye people's, and the other things are nothing.
But he didn't know that the woman from Daye was not as tall as the women outside the pass, and her height was completely beyond the standard of women from Daye at this time.Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to deceive so many people by disguising herself as a man.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that Zhao Wuyou was a daughter.
"Some things, you will understand in the future." Zhao Wuyou took a sip of pear blossom wine, "Go back and think about it, maybe you will come back to me in a short time."
Lian Ming nodded, saluted and turned to leave.
After walking two steps away, he turned back to look at Zhao Wuyou with ulterior motives, "Master Zhao, have you heard the rumors outside?"
"What rumor?" Zhao Wuyou asked with a smile.
"Whoever wins the brocade box wins the world." He looked at her with complicated eyes, "I only told you about this."
"It's me." Zhao Wuyou nodded, "The news comes from the Shangshu Mansion."
"I understand." Lian Ming sighed, "But I still choose to trust you, I think I probably have no way out. If the Wu clan is still alive, please tell me that I will follow my mother no matter what. Last wish, to protect the Zhouquan of the Wu Clan to the death. Although Tilan is gone, I am still there, and my body is full of the blood of the Wu Clan."
After saying that, he walked away.
It wasn't until Lian Ming walked out of Tingfeng Building that Wen Gu fell from the top of the tree and sat down on the stone table with a solemn expression, without saying a word.
Zhao Wuyou put down the cup in his hand, "Have you heard it all? Do you think his words are true or false?"
"It's not all true, but it's not all false." Wen Gu poured a glass of wine and drank it all at once, "I'm just a little uncomfortable and emotional. Tilan has been destroyed for so many years, and the Wu clan has also disappeared from the world. I didn’t expect that there are still people alive in this world today.”
"It doesn't matter whether my mother is from Daye or not, she is your wife, she is the goddess of the Wu clan, so she is from the Wu clan." Zhao Wuyou looked at the starry sky, not looking at Wen Gu's face, "I am also from the Wu clan. "
Wen Gu's body trembled, and he fixed his eyebrows to look at the young man in plain clothes and white clothes.
She looked up at the stars, "The stars in the desert are more beautiful than those in the capital. If I could choose, I still like the scenery of the desert. Although it is bleak, it is magnificent, and there are not so many intrigues."
"When you were with my mother, did you also like to look at the stars and the moon? When I was in Huanglan, I especially liked to look at the night sky. It's really beautiful."
With tears in his eyes, Wen Gu said, "Yeah, my favorite thing to do is to accompany her to the sand jujube forest, and sit together to watch the stars and the moon. She will rest her head on my shoulder, and I will hold her hand tightly, thinking Don't let go of this life. Sometimes I foolishly think that if the sun doesn't rise, it will be great if I can sit until the end of time."
Zhao Wuyou looked back at him, the choking in his tone was obvious.She knew that he was sad, and she also knew that this kind of sadness was a vacancy that could not be filled in a lifetime.
It is a lifelong regret that it cannot be fulfilled.
Taking a sip of the wine in the glass, Zhao Wuyou took a deep breath, she wondered if she should do something too.Some things are really just a difficult first step, as long as you take this step, the rest will follow.
She glanced at Suxi and put down the wine glass in her hand, "Suxi, go and get me another pot of pear blossom wine. When the time comes, Lord Qiantose will come and I can taste the taste. That guy is used to being greedy, just like me." something."
"Yes!" Su Xi turned and left without doubting him.
Wen Gu forced back the tears in his eyes, and whispered softly, "Your body has just recovered, and the cold poison in your body has not been completely eliminated, so don't be willful, and don't be careless. You can still drink this wine in the future, so let's drink less now. Try it. That's all for the taste!"
Zhao Wuyou looked at him steadfastly, without saying a word.
"What's the matter?" Wen Gu paused, "I, I'm just——I'm just afraid that you'll ruin your health from drinking, so don't take it to heart, I won't say anything."
Zhao Wuyou narrowed his eyes, bit the rim of his cup and said in a low voice, "I see, Dad."
Wen Gu was startled at first, then froze on the spot.
She just... What did she call him just now?
