Chapter 692: The Blade Is Cold
Dark clouds cover the moon, the weather changes suddenly, and after a few muffled thunders, the heavy rain pours down, hitting the leaves and making a small sound, which makes people fall asleep more and more. There was silence inside and outside the Weiyang Palace, and even the little eunuchs who kept vigil tilted their heads and fell asleep. Shu Chen turned over in a daze, wanting to lean into his father's arms as usual, but when he touched it, he found that there was no one around, he squinted his eyes and looked around, and found that his father was really not there, so he stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes and sat up.
"Father's ......"
He was alone in the huge bed, and there was no answer except for the occasional thunder. He was a little scared, and called the attendant Gonggong Wan again, only to think that Gonggong Wan was not suitable for leave today, and only a few little eunuchs were guarding outside the palace. The wind was blowing strongly, and the unclosed doors and windows were clattering with the thunder, and he emboldened, got out of bed, and walked out of the bedchamber along the candlelight. Since his sixth birthday, Li Zongzhi no longer took him with him, saying that he wanted to practice his independence, and still placed him in Weiyang Palace.
The little eunuchs who were keeping vigil were sleeping soundly next to the dragon pattern stone pillar, Shu Chen stretched out his hand to shake someone, but he did not wake up, he stood in place and thought for a moment, and walked towards the door.
"His Royal Highness the Prince?!" The Imperial Forest Army outside the door was still standing, and when he saw Shu Chen going out, he hurriedly bowed and said, "It's so late, where is Your Highness going?"
"Didn't my father come to see me yesterday?" he slept every day as soon as the hour came, Li Zongzhi often had time to come to see him after he slept, and sometimes he would accompany him to rest in the Weiyang Palace too late.
"The emperor did not come yesterday. ”
As he spoke, the thunder started again, Shu Chen looked up at the sky, and suddenly turned around and walked towards the corridor where the lights were fluttering.
"Your Highness?"
"I'm scared alone, and I'm going to find my father. After he finished speaking, he pulled his legs and left, and the column of royal forest soldiers was bitter when they saw this, and they didn't dare to stop him forcibly, so they had to walk a few steps quickly to the front and prostrate themselves, and said, "The minister is carrying His Highness on his back." ”
The little eunuch who kept vigil was woken up by the sound of talking, and when he went out, he saw that the prince had run out of the palace by himself, and he was immediately frightened, and saw that he insisted on going to the emperor, so he hurriedly turned around and took a cloak to wrap him, and then let a royal forest soldier carry him all the way to the Xuancheng Palace.
"Who?!"
The group walked in a hurry, and the guards of the Xuancheng Hall were all shocked when they saw this, and the long sword was already unsheathed when they spoke, and the little eunuch at this end hurriedly replied when they saw it: "It's His Royal Highness the Prince." ”
"I can't live patiently, and on this thunderous and rainy day, I dare to let His Highness go out. Zong Ran heard the sound and walked out of the palace gate, and saw that it was the guard of Weiyang Palace who came with the prince on his back, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, and hugged Shu Chen off his back.
"My little ancestor, if this black light is blind, how can you get it if you are frightened. Zong Ran stretched out his hand and tightened Shu Chen's cloak, turned around and carried him into the palace gate.
"When I woke up, I didn't see my father, the thunder was too loud, and I was scared alone. After Shu Chen finished speaking, he glanced at the back of the hall, and when Zong Ran heard this, he turned around and glared at the few little eunuchs who followed, and said in a low voice: "I dare to sleep at night, if anything happens to His Royal Highness the Prince, see that I don't peel your skin." ”
Shu Chen didn't stay after getting off the ground, he went to the apse with a step, Zong Ran reprimanded the little eunuchs, and he couldn't stop him, so he had to shut down and retreat aside.
Shu Chen walked into the apse dormitory, and found that his father was not sleeping on the bed, but sitting at the table with his forehead propped up, as if thinking about something, he tiptoed over and stretched out his little hand to caress Li Zongzhi's cheek.
"Father is not happy?" The immature children's voice was in his ears, Li Zongzhi came back to his senses, and when he saw that it was Shuchen, he hurriedly stretched out his hand to hug him and wrapped him into his arms.
"I'm getting more and more disobedient, when is the hour still running to my father's emperor, how do the little eunuchs who keep vigil look at it, I will definitely ask for their heads tomorrow. ”
"Don't kill them, I'm coming. Shu Chen was afraid that Li Zongzhi would really do what he said, so he shook his head desperately, and then found the scroll of paintings spread out in front of his father.
"My father didn't sleep so late, looking at the portrait of his flawless brother. Shu Chen's question made Li Zongzhi's eyes fluctuate, he pondered for a moment, and suddenly said to Shu Chen: "Shu Chen likes to like flawless brother. ”
"Of course I do. Shu Chen smiled with an innocent smile: "Flawless brother hugged Shu Chen and rode a horse, coaxed Shu Chen to sleep, and gave Shu Chen delicious food, his body is so fragrant, Shu Chen likes it so much." ”
"Then ......" Li Zongzhi paused for a moment, and then said: "If Brother Flawless dies, will you be sad." ”
"No, I don't want him to die. Shu Chen seemed to be shocked by those words, he stared at Li Zongzhi with wide eyes, and then shook his head vigorously and said, "Brother Flawless is a good person and will not die." ”
Li Zongzhi looked at his anxious appearance, couldn't help but stroke his brows, and said softly with a mocking smile: "Good people will die earlier than bad people." Because once a person is bound by emotions, he will no longer be like himself, and anyone can use the qiē he cares about to restrain him, imprison him, hit him, and even kill him. ”
"What did my father say...... Erchen didn't understand. "The child's world is innocent, although Shu Chen was bullied in the palace in the past, but Li Zongzhi's careful care in the past two years has made him gradually fade away the unbearable memory, and selectively believe in the beauty of the world, so he doesn't understand, and he doesn't want to believe that good people will die earlier than bad people.
"You are still young, you don't understand many things, and when you grow up, you will understand. ”
"Erchen don't grow up, Erchen wants to be with his father like this. Shu Chen yawned after speaking, and fell asleep in Li Zongzhi's arms.
Li Zongzhi still did not feel sleepy, he looked down at the flawless portrait, and then reached out and gently stroked the indifferent eyebrows and eyes of the person in the painting.
"Thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are painted, how can you fight a cinnabar between your eyebrows. I said that I can give you a country, but it is not the one you took from me, flawless, and I am the enemy, why are you the ......" A sigh sounded, Li Zongzhi leaned back and slowly closed his eyes.
When you were bullied by Prince Zheng and jumped into the lake, you had a heart attack and almost died, the person who saved you was me, when you stood by the river crying in the heavy rain alone, the person who comforted you was also me, but why, the person who got your heart was not me!
The army set out, and the elite soldiers went straight to the north.
Today's emperor of the early dynasty only issued a holy decree, ordering the right general Li Qiongchi to lead 10,000 troops to Danyang to exterminate Guiyunzhuang and its subordinates. After the holy decree was announced, the emperor retreated, some of the ministers understood, and some did not understand, after the early dispersal of the dynasty, most of them followed Su Pintuo to ask what was going on, but Su Pintuo was silent under Mo Han's gesture and chose to be silent.
Today's emperor is no longer the puppet at the mercy of others, as can be seen from the means and courage of the means and courage to eliminate the remaining evil forces after he fled from the Eastern Capital in Wufan. The king's heart is unpredictable, and if you can't figure out what a courtier means, then it's best to keep your mouth shut, so as not to get burned and be inconsiderate.
The courtiers dispersed, and Mo Han stood in front of the white jade steps and looked into the distance, and suddenly there was a trace of inexplicable sentimentality.
Two years ago, he was still leisurely and leisurely between the green mountains and green waters, but on that day, the unruly and notorious Meng Xiaohou came to Yunwu Villa, a sentence: "Troubled times, how to settle down, ten years ago, he saved my life, ten years later, I will return him a world peace, and allow him to be a prosperous fireworks!" deeply moved himself, so that he regained his loyalty to the country and returned to the court. Two years is not a long time, but I seem to have spent my whole life watching the two people who are accompanied by hardships and hardships, and the reunion and separation again and again, I am afraid that many people will not be able to experience it in their lifetime. And now, is their fate really coming to an end?
Mo Han took a deep breath and slowly raised his head, the drizzle was blowing, gradually moistening his hair, not past his brows, sliding from his cheeks, and disappearing into the neckline.
From the conversation between the emperor and Bai Ze yesterday, he already knew the situation of Flawless at the moment. Netherflower is so hard to find, even if it is found elsewhere, Flawless does not have so much time to wait.
The lights in the Xuancheng Palace were bright all night last night, and the emperor must have been sleepless all night, and for the emperor, no matter what decision he made, it would be extremely difficult. Because the flawless life and death are not only related to his personal fate, but also to the future fate of the Great Jin......
If he dies......
Mo Han's heart trembled violently, and he didn't dare to think about it anymore.
Bai Yan is now fighting on the front line of Jiuyuan, if the emperor really doesn't use the Nether Flower to renew his life for Flawless, then what should Bai Yan do?
The footsteps kept going back and forth in the rain, and Mo Han, a young general who had always been known for his composure, couldn't calm his heart, he didn't know where the emperor went after the dynasty, but he knew that if he didn't go to a place, he would definitely regret it in the future.
The phoenix's eyes were slightly raised, Mo Han looked in the direction of the Tai Hospital, and in an instant, he had already made up his mind to do something.
Even if the emperor blames him afterwards, he has to do it!
After the footsteps stopped, they sounded again, and the figure that rushed away without a trace of hesitation, walked so resolutely.
It was surprisingly quiet in the Tai Hospital, Mo Han gently pushed open the door, first glanced at the hall, and saw that the entire hall was empty, he couldn't help but be stunned, and secretly said something bad in his heart, and sure enough, before he could turn around, he heard a footstep suddenly appear, walking very slowly, but step by step made him feel cold.
"Minister...... I've seen the emperor. Without turning around, he had already guessed who the person behind him was, Mo Han sighed, and then straightened his back and raised his head.
"I've been thinking about whether you chose to return to the court in the first place, whether it was for me or for Meng Baiyan. And if one day, when you are caught between me and him, what choice will you make, to this day, I finally know. ”
