Xiao Shaotang and King Qin, although they are father and son, have been separated since childhood, and after being recovered, they spent most of their time on the road of rebellion and fighting.

Such a father-son relationship was originally precarious, but King Qin threw this throne to Xiao Shaotang without making a sound at the last sound, Xiao Shaotang felt sad, which was really expected.

But Bai Chenghuan didn't want Xiao Shaotang to be so sad all the time.

She really hopes that their father and son can untie this knot:

"You go and talk to your father, and by the way, invite your father and queen to come to the palace to celebrate the New Year with us. ”

"Can you come with me?"

Xiao Shaotang, who is brave and unmatched on the battlefield, is like a child who wants to go but doesn't dare to go at this time.

Bai Chenghuan smiled and shook his head:

"Naturally, I can't leave, you go by yourself. ”

Two days will be Chinese New Year's Eve, and according to the custom of the Daqi court, a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet will be held.

Bai Chenghuan, as the master of the harem, is to share the worries of the Internal Affairs Office, and many things have just started, and he is very busy at this time.

Moreover, the matter of their father and son still has to be faced by themselves after all, and Bai Chenghuan does not intend to get involved.

Xiao Shaotang was silent alone for a while before he said:

"Then I'd better go out of the palace, don't bother too much, leave something to Mama Zhong to do, you are so resting, I'll go back as soon as I go." ”

But before Xiao Shaotang could leave, the great eunuch Hu Dexi stepped forward to stop him.

"The emperor is now a golden body, different from the past, how can he go out of the palace at will, if the emperor wants to see the prince, he can order someone to summon him. ”

Xiao Shaotang stared at Hu Dexi for a while before looking away, and then ordered someone to call someone from the Internal Affairs Office.

"Pick someone for me again, Gonggong Hu is also old, let's raise it!"

After speaking, he took Fu Han, the current deputy commander of the guard, and went straight out of the palace.

Hu Dexi knelt on the ground until the people from the Internal Affairs Office took him out and told him to pack up and leave the palace, he didn't understand what he had done wrong.

Fortunately, although he was rejected by the new emperor at this time, the new emperor did not treat him harshly, and the mansion that was customarily given to the great eunuch was not less silver, so he finally settled down.

It wasn't until now that Liu Defu, who lived in Xihai Houfu with the abolished emperor Xihaihou, took advantage of the night to come to see him, and Hu Dexi suddenly cried.

"Senior brother...... I don't understand what I'm doing wrong...... Why is this one's mind more difficult to guess than the previous one, I am, I just stopped it...... The emperor can't leave the palace at will, this is also the rule of the ancestors......"

Liu Defu trembled and handed him a handkerchief, and sighed helplessly:

"You, you've only been with the emperor for a few days, and you're so imprudent? Companions are like tigers, don't you know this old reason? No matter how much the emperor is respected, Prince Qin is his biological father, you just shouldn't stop it!"

"But if I don't stop it, others will think that it's useless for me, a big eunuch, to follow the emperor......" Hu Dexi felt aggrieved.

"That being said, if you think about it, if the emperor wants to do something, and the people around him stop him at every turn, then what else is the emperor? Not to mention that this is not the master who can be controlled by the people around him since he was a child, he is on the throne with a sword in his hand, and you can also distinguish the weight!"

Liu Defu sat beside him and comforted:

"So far, don't cry, fortunately, the new emperor treats you leniently, although you can't keep this dignity, but you deserve it like this, and there is nothing less, speaking of which, we have so many senior brothers, you have earned it!"

"Where did I make ......?"

Hood's joy and sorrow came from it, and the more he cried, the more sad he became:

"The brothers who followed the master back then, senior brother, you are with the emperor, not to mention other people, the emperor treats you really well, Zhang Delu followed the king of Jin, and he can also have a good death, that is, I ...... I finally got mixed up until now, and when the new emperor came, I thought I could get ahead, but I fell to this point......"

"That's good, it's good, as long as you don't get into trouble in the future, you can take the silver and succeed a righteous son, and it's not wrong to retire in the capital in peace. We eunuchs have worked hard all our lives, don't we just want to be old and have something to rely on? Can you live for a long time, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"

Speaking of everyone's future, Liu Defu couldn't help but have a light in his eyes, but he quickly wiped it away.

"Okay, our senior brothers finally met each other, don't cry and cry, I'm going to leave the capital, and in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to see each other again until I die." ”

Hu Dexi heard Liu Defu say this, and then suddenly raised his head:

"Senior brother...... You, where are you going?"

"Naturally, I will follow the emperor until I die...... With Xihaihou, it is estimated that they will be able to pass this year and will leave Beijing. ”

"Didn't the emperor give the West Sea a long time to live in the capital?" Hu Dexi didn't quite understand.

Liu Defu couldn't help but sigh:

"Look, look at your little brain, it's really your benefit to be able to leave the palace early! Xihaihou, Xihaihou, do you think this Xihai is a title?"

Hu Dexi was stunned:

"But the emperor is not afraid of people saying that he is mean and unkind......"

"Naturally, the emperor will not open this mouth, but what if Xihai Hou invites himself to leave Beijing?"

Hu Dexi's mind slowly began to turn, but he still felt unlikely:

"Can the emperor rest assured?"

Since the new emperor ascended the throne, the abolished emperor was the object of strict confinement.

Even if he is not tortured to death, he will never be released to freedom.

"Don't worry, I don't know, but Xihaihou's excerpt has already been sent, if you don't agree, it will probably be rejected soon, but before you left the palace, did you hear any movement?"

Liu Defu squinted his eyes and asked.

Hu Dexi was skeptical, and thought about it carefully:

"That's not true, so brother, you're really leaving...... Where is the West Sea? Senior brother, you will ...... in the future."

"Naturally, the emperor said that where is the West Sea, the West Sea is on the other side, as for the future, if you can return to the roots, it is God's mercy, if not, it is also my life. Farewell tonight, Axi, take care of your life. ”

Suddenly, when he heard the two frost-white senior brothers calling him by his young name, Hu Dexi was touched and sad again, and cried fiercely.

It wasn't until Liu Defu left that Hu Dexi's head slowly cleared up, and he sat alone for a long time, listening to the bang in the hand of the husband outside knocking three times, and then he understood as if he had been empowered:

"Senior brother, you really deserve to be my senior brother!"

Among the junior brothers, he is the most shrewd, and sure enough, he has served the emperor steadily for so many years without losing his head, and at this time, he can still come to his words!

He wondered how the senior brother had always been cautious, so how could he talk about the rights and wrongs of the royal family!

It's just that I think that I won't be able to see each other again in the future, and I can't let my senior brother come to him again, Hu Dexi is still sad in the end, and he tosses and turns until dawn, and he can only admit that his brain is still far away from the palace to save his life!

Xihai Hou Mansion is the residence of a prince when Emperor Xiaozong, and then the prince did not wait for a family to disappear, and the mansion was empty.

Although this Hou Mansion also covers a vast area, and only the two masters of the Waste Emperor Xihaihou and the Waste Queen Wei Wan live, compared with the Imperial Palace, it makes Xihaihou feel cramped after all.

Zhai Feng is still the commander of the Imperial Forest Army, and he also got an additional title of Shenwu General, but he did not go to the palace to be on duty, but took people to garrison the Xihai Houfu every day.

Xiao Shaoyun would be furious every time he saw him following him.

"Do I have wings and can fly out of this heavy guard?

The people around him just watched him get angry, and no one reminded him that he should call himself "Benhou" instead of "I" at this time.

But such tolerance, in Xiao Shaoyun's view, is more like pity.

Whenever Zhai Feng faced Xiao Shaoyun's anger, he just bowed and saluted, and said calmly:

"It is your duty to protect your safety. ”

"You betrayed me when I needed your protection, and this is ...... Oh,!"

Zhai Feng never defended.

Compared with the previous victors of imperial power, the new emperor is really too merciful.

neither carried the deposed emperor in front of him, let him kneel three times and knock nine times to humiliate him, nor did he treat food and clothing harshly to let people abuse him.

Even now he has been sent to guard, not for fear of the abolition of the emperor fleeing, but for fear that someone will take the life of the abolished emperor.

He really came to protect Xiao Shaoyun's safety, although Xiao Shaoyun didn't appreciate it.

Xiao Shaoyun didn't understand this, but Wei Wan could see it.

When Liu Defu gave Xiao Shaoyun and Wei Wan the words he had brought from Hu Dexi, Wei Wan breathed a long sigh of relief, and there was a different look in her eyes:

"It seems that we can get out of this cage, away from the capital, and open the sky. ”

"Away from the cage, the sea and the sky?"

Xiao Shaoyun sneered:

"Even if I leave here, this world is already a cage for me!"

"If you can't think about it yourself, there's nothing anyone can do...... But it's always good for us to stay away from this place of right and wrong, right?"

Wei Wan still has a few traces of longing for the future.

"We?"

Xiao Shaotang looked at Wei Wan's eyes, as if he was looking at a madman.

"You are the fine work of the Qin Palace, don't always look like you are so affectionate, please, go back and get the glory and wealth you deserve, don't follow me anymore!"

The prince of Qin ascended the throne, and Wei Wan could be regarded as a meritorious minister, who should have been glorious and wealthy, and retired after success, but Wei Wan once again asked Mr. Yuan for a condition, that is, to follow Xiao Shaoyun and retain her status.

In Xiao Shaoyun's opinion, this is completely crazy.

Wei Wan saw that Xiao Shaoyun was emotionally unstable again, and she didn't argue with him much, poured him a cup of tea, and then quietly withdrew.

Zhan Shichun died, but Zhan Shichun had used the sleep aid incense for him for so long, and in the end, together with Concubine Shu, he not only made Xiao Shaoyun lose his heir, but also caused great damage to Xiao Shaoyun's body, and it was easy to lose control of his emotions.

Xiao Shaoyun was unrelenting behind her:

"Wei Wan, tell me, what do you like about me? I have nothing, what do you have that you can't let go? Follow me, you have no glory and wealth, no children, no family, nothing, only worry, never have peace!"

Wei Wan looked back at him, with mixed feelings, not knowing whether she had more pity in her heart, or the kind of love that was painful and tired, but she was always unwilling to let go.

This kind of love is like a thorn in the heart, from the beginning it was painful, but now it is unable to pull it out.

She knew that by following him, she would not get all the happiness she had imagined, but at this time, she couldn't do it if she wanted her to leave him who had lost everything.

Maybe Wei Wan could barely understand his words as her good, but the words that came out still involuntarily brought sharp thorns, and she didn't give up without putting people to death:

"Then you tell me, that person, what's so good, you can't let go of it? Why do you want me to let go of things you can't let go?"

That person, there is no need to speak, the two of them know who it is.

This is Xiao Shaoyun's eternal weakness, and it is also the only place where Wei Wan can sting Xiao Shaoyun.

Xiao Shaoyun sat on the chair weakly, looked up at Chengchen on the roof, and never looked at Wei Wan again.

Wei Wan turned around with a cold expression, her back was arrogant, and she walked out with a trace of dignity that she had earned so hard.

A few plum blossoms in the Xihai Hou Mansion have been uncared for for a long time, and they have bloomed lonely for one spring and autumn after another, but they have not withered, and they are still noisy and lively in the winter branches.

Although it has lost the world's demand for sparse and rugged plum trees, it has a unique beauty.

Wei Wan squatted under the beautiful flower tree and cried alone for a long time.

It looks like she's finally won once, but she knows she'll always be the one who loses.

Liu Defu couldn't bear it, and couldn't help but persuade Xiao Shaoyun:

"Your Majesty, why do you want to make your mother angry, she is sincere to you......"

"Don't call me the emperor again!"

seemed to be sobered up a little because of Wei Wan's vitriol, Xiao Shaoyun couldn't help but lose his temper when he heard the old name.

But looking at Liu Defu's trembling appearance, Xiao Shaoyun waved his hand weakly:

"Go down, Gonggong Liu, you really, you don't have to follow me anymore. ”

When he wanted to be sincere, these people around him betrayed him one by one, and now, none of his sincerity is rare, what do they do with him one by one?

Xiao Shaoyun didn't know how long he had been sitting alone, and his whole body was a little numb, but he finally got up and walked out.

The plum blossoms in the Xihai Marquis Mansion can burn people's eyes when they look at it from a long distance.

The woman under the tree has long stopped crying, and is leading people to pick plum blossoms on the branches.

"Madam, what do you want this plum blossom to do?"

The servants sent to serve them were all maids who did not know anything about the world, and they could not compare with those shrewd palace maids in the past, and they asked what they saw and were curious.

"Your master has not had a good appetite lately, so I'm going to make plum blossom cakes for him to eat. ”

Wei Wan's expression was calm, as if the person who had just cried was not her.

Xiao Shaoyun was stunned-

The woman who picked flowers under the tree looked like Cheng Huan in the past.

Exactly the same face, exactly the same plum blossoms.

But when Wei Wan turned his face, he suddenly woke up, no, that wasn't Cheng Huan, that was Wei Wan.

quarreled with him, spoke harshly, but still stuck to the person he wouldn't leave.

How could there be such a person as Wei Wan in the world...... Hopelessly stupid.

Xiao Shaoyun didn't walk over in the end, he hurriedly turned around and walked away, fleeing with a feeling of confusion and despair in his back.

Wei Wan faintly withdrew her gaze, and continued to command the maid calmly:

"Pick more, I will not only make plum blossom cakes, but also make wine, and take it to the ends of the earth when the time comes. ”
