With the smell of agarwood, Guo Shu rarely had no sleep all night, and when he woke up, the sky was already bright, and the effect of last night's sleeping incense was still good. Emperor Yue is old, if it is not necessary, it is a small dynasty in three days, a big dynasty in January, of course, the courtiers can also enter the palace at any time to report. Today, it happened to be a day without a dynasty, Xiao Hengyan got up early and came to the door because he was thinking about last night, but when he saw that the people inside were sleeping soundly, he was embarrassed to go in, so he had to sit in the side hall and think quietly alone.

Recently, the court has been smooth, in addition to the matter of establishing the prince, the court can be said to be smooth, Xiao Hengyan is also very interested in not going up to make up, losing two sons one after another, and being forced by the minister to establish the prince, Emperor Yue's mood can be imagined, dare to be courteous in this matter, according to Emperor Yue's character, it is undoubtedly unwise. So Xiao Hengyan's thoughts turned in his heart for a long time, and he couldn't let himself not think about what happened last night.

However, his thoughts drifted much further. floated to the day he woke up last summer, when he was pulled by Guo Shu to jump off the cliff. He remembered that he had not met Guo Shu there, Guo Shu was raised in the countryside at that time, and the Guo family did not have the idea of marrying his only concubine for generations into the royal family. But as a prince with military power, how much the glory he got should be in front of the future royal brother, maybe he didn't think so, but after years of marching and fighting, he has gathered a group of strategists who cannot be ignored, and the hearts of some strategists are far more than that.

At that time, in Surabaya City, the northern defense he mastered was torn open by the sneak attack of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and he suffered heavy losses, resulting in the loss of the land of Sanzhou, and he was escorted back to the capital to accept the blame, while his brothers were falling into the well one by one. In the end, he was raised in the capital, and his mother was demoted to a concubine, and died of illness in the palace only four months later.

In the Changchun Palace, he was finally allowed to see his mother, which was different from his impression, although he still looked white, his face was purple, and he obviously died of suffocation, but he couldn't find strangulation marks, and he couldn't find evidence. He knelt outside the Hall of Manna and begged his father to investigate the matter thoroughly, but he was always perfunctory. On the day of the funeral, it was drizzling in the sky, and thunder sounded in the sky, but the expected heavy rain was always a silky light rain, seeping into people's necks, bones, and even hearts through clothes, mixed with his wordless tears. From that time on, he knew that if he couldn't achieve the position of the Ninety-Five, he would never be able to correct his mother's name, and she would always be the guilty concubine. And he will always be the meat on their chopping block, to be slaughtered.

He knelt outside the mausoleum for seven days, but surprisingly, the decree he expected to guard the mausoleum did not come for a long time. The Guo family, his nominal brother-in-law, extended a helping hand to him, but Guo Shun demanded that he must marry the daughter of the Guo family as a concubine, and he must be the mother of Da Yue in the future, and her son will also be the future prince of Da Yue. At that time, Guo Shun was in charge of sixty percent of the defense of the capital, hundreds of thousands of troops in the north, and there was a Shangshu's wife and uncle, so he had no way to refuse.

But no matter how she looks like a fairy, for him, it is a testimony of his most helpless and humiliating years. In two years, she gave birth to the son of Xu Wangfu and his eldest son. But he never looked at them squarely, even after he successfully won the championship, he let his queen give birth to their second son during the state mourning. However, in the period of national mourning, as a son and daughter-in-law, when he should be filial piety, the birth of that child is a testimony of the queen's disrespect for the emperor and disobedience to the law, and it will also be a sufficient reason for him to be abolished in the future, he thought.

However, he never got to know his queen in depth, or rather, he simply did not want to face his humiliating years. His iron wrist allowed him to sit firmly on the throne, he recruited beauties on a large scale, expanded his three palaces and six courts, and he especially favored the daughter of a fourth-rank official, she was talented, empathetic, and full of whimsy. He spoiled her and gave her everything he could, even the treatment that only a queen of the main palace could have.

And his original queen is exactly the same as when she was a princess, she is still virtuous and dignified, her words and deeds do not conform to her due identity, she has never said a word beyond the norm, she will never be angry and sad, just like a doll, delicate and dignified, and is the most competent and qualified queen.

He seldom set foot in his palace, and he never even cared about his two sons-in-law, even one of whom was his crown prince, his prince, and he could not even remember what they looked like. But even so, he still can't be abolished, he can't be so quick and ungrateful, the Guo family's century-old prestige, rash action will only shake the morale of the army, and if he loses the northern border of the land of Sanzhou, there can be no more changes.

He still has to rely on the Guo family, and his queen has never been at fault, on the contrary, she is famous, and the people respect her, and he can't find a reason to abolish her. He then doted on the concubine more and more, gave her son far more treatment than others, and allowed the concubine and even the public to suppress the queen.

That hunting, he left the queen and the crown prince in the capital, and he took his favorite concubine and his favorite prince to hunt, and everything went so smoothly until he found that he was lost in the dense forest, and there were only a hundred guards left around him. He was not surprised by the presence of the Assassins, he was born in the military camp, he was brave and good at fighting, and his guards were extremely familiar with the terrain of the hunting grounds, even if there were many people at the moment, he still had the strength to deal with them, he originally thought.

But his strength drained so quickly, all his guards turned back in an instant, and the few who were killed without any reaction. He was lying in the palace of the hunting ground, unable to move, he was not young, he knew, but he didn't even know when he was poisoned. He watched his favorite prince stand in front of him, the smugness in his eyes was self-evident, and his favorite concubine, with his most familiar smile, fed him an unknown decoction, and he did not have the slightest strength to resist.

However, at this time, the person he least expected, his queen, with 50,000 soldiers and horses in the north of the Guo family, King Qianliqin, he and his concubine were trapped in the palace, and his rebel son had already rushed to the capital with the national seal.

He saw panic on the concubine's face, the number of forbidden troops in the palace was far from enough to resist the 50,000 army, he looked at the decoction in the concubine's hand, thought a lot, and finally could only let out a bitter smile, this was his own sin, he had to swallow this bitter fruit.

Just as the bowl of potion was about to be poured into his mouth, a long arrow shot over the bowl, and another arrow, fired at the same arrow, pierced the concubine's throat. The face that he once liked so much was so ugly now. The man's archery skills were so good, he thought before he fell unconscious.

When he woke up again, it was ten days later, and he was still in the palace, but his poison had been completely cured. He was glad to see the pale, but dressed in military uniform, his queen.

It was a wanton flying that he had never seen before, and unlike his concubines who dressed up to please him, they didn't have a trace of real killing, only a rich coquettishness. And his queen is like a general who is really fighting, so upright and tenacious, like a general sitting in a military tent, giving him a real reassurance.

His rebel son was arrested and detained in the prison before he arrived in the capital, and the rebels who rose up with the wind in various places were suppressed one by one by his prince himself. The rebels who were fighting with the wind were fighting, and after suffering a few defeats in a row, they did a fish and bird scatter.

He was surrounded and returned to the capital, he was still the emperor on the high, and he re-examined the three people he had forgotten for twenty years. The capital was washed in blood for three months, the concubine was punished by the nine clans, and among the four concubines, there was only one virtuous concubine who was usually close to the queen. And there were only four of his princes left, and one of them was a child who was only four years old.

But when she was victorious, her health got worse day by day. Only then did he know that he had been poisoned before, and that there was no cure for the poison to the bone marrow, and that it was his queen who exchanged her life for her own life.

For the remaining year or so, he sat down again and accompanied her to study the war books, chess games, and recipes. He spent almost all his time with the queen who had not had much time, her ease, her innocence, and even her calculations, she never concealed it, she had never been so frank with herself. Her eyes were just like the candle night in the cave room they had back then, the candle night in the cave room that he thought he had forgotten a long time ago.

He remembered that when she lifted her hijab, she showed a playful smile, as if relieved, her eyes were full of clarity and innocence, and there was no calculation, no flattery, no flattery, no flattery, no flattery. It's like twenty years later, when he stared at her eyes, those things had not changed, except for the royal nobility that had been cultivated in twenty years, she was no different from the princess Xu who married him at the beginning.

In that year, he got to know her again, even as a queen, she could play chess with him, discuss poetry and songs with him, and court the rivers and lakes. His prejudice, his pride, made him miss such an innocent and beautiful wife. He wished countless times that time could slow down a little longer, that he could have her a little longer.

But her waking hours are getting shorter and shorter, sometimes sleeping all day, and when she is awake, she is getting weaker and weaker. Gradually, she couldn't hold a sword, she couldn't hold a book, she couldn't even hold a teaglass. The doctors of the Tai Hospital changed batch after batch, killing one after another, but it was useless.

She eventually died in her arms.

And he, obviously became a powerful and high-ranking emperor, but he still failed to protect it, the woman he loved most in his life in the bottom of his heart and in hindsight.

In the time that followed, the Guo family handed over the military power and gave it to his second son, King Xu, the crown prince and the auxiliary state. And the mutiny back then was the knife handed by his queen herself, she had already taken his secret guard to guard the palace gate, and the two arrows that saved him also came from his queen. His rebel son was arrested before he could even go out of the hunting ground, and before he woke up, the prince in the capital had already purged all the princes who threatened the position of the East Palace---- he originally wanted to use it to contain the prince, so he didn't let them surrender.

Over the next five years, his health deteriorated, and the crown prince was untouchable.

She used a frank and unrestrained conspiracy, or rather, she just handed over a knife, and the concubine, who had long forgotten who she was, couldn't bear to move her hand and took the initiative to get into her trap. No wonder she never cared about her love for the concubine and the harem, and never cared about the concubine's provocation to her. She made the beginning, and then waited for the doomed result to be the final winner, and she was still the clean queen.

He had never loved any of his concubines, but he was unwilling, he was unwilling to accept that he was just a pawn in her twenty-year-long scheme.

In the last year, she also used her death and her guilt to let the Guo family retreat, waiting for the day when the crown prince ascended the throne and made a comeback, so that her two sons would be safe and sound, and let him be willing to pave the way for his eldest son. He knew everything, and he was willing, but he wanted to know if there was a place for her in her heart.

In the past five years, he tried his best to explore her past, but until his death, he could not find out the ins and outs of the piccolo engraved with the word "Jing" that she held in her arms before she died. In the sixteen years before she married her, she was clean and clean, except for the piccolo of unknown origin.

That feeling, unforgettable, mixed with his regret, guilt, and his love, accompanied him to sleep with her in the ground.

Maybe that kind of bitter obsession was too profound, and when he opened his eyes again and saw the young and prosperous Guo Shu, no one could understand the ecstasy and gratitude in his heart at that moment. Everything was a little different from what he had experienced, Surabaya City was not lost, and he broke his leg because of jumping off a cliff. But God gave him a second chance, and also allowed him to get in touch with the mystery that he would never know in his previous life, so that he could have his wife again, and even he could fulfill the filial piety that he had not fulfilled in his previous life.

It's so good, I am willing to use my sincerity to exchange your smile for a lifetime.

As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win countless in the world.
