Chapter 688: Clear Road

Wei Wan didn't know what the emperor was doing when she came over, so she simply walked slowly all the way.

When I arrived outside the door of the imperial study, I saw a tall, handsome strange man standing under the porch, as if he was looking at her at first, but when she approached, he lowered his head.

Not only did he never look at her again, but he didn't even salute her.

A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Wei Wan's eyes.

Although she was accompanied by a crazy emperor, living alone in the palace that felt empty and lonely at this time, she could not get anything else, but she never lacked such a thing as honor.

Now there are very few people who see her in the palace but don't salute.

may have been by the emperor's side for a long time, and her eyes were full of gloom, and Wei Wan's heart was full of malice towards this person who dared to despise her.

Wei Wan passed him in a dignified manner, and went directly to complain to Xiao Shaoyun.

"Your Majesty, who is that person outside the door? He didn't salute when he saw his concubine, whose son is this who has such a big face?"

Wei Wan said to the emperor with a smile.

Although it is an understatement, the malice is clear at a glance.

The emperor put down the imperial pen in his hand and looked at Wei Wan with a very strange look.

"You really don't recognize him?"

Wei Wan felt that the emperor's expression was very strange, so she searched carefully in her mind.

Since the conjuring, there have been some more shadows in her mind that do not belong to her, but neither those memories nor her own memories have a shadow of this person.

The emperor's rhetorical question also made Wei Wan's heart alarmed, and she replied tentatively:

"Concubine...... The concubine didn't remember it very clearly, she only felt that he seemed to be a little kind, but when she thought about it, it seemed to be ......"

The hesitant and distressed tone made the emperor's heart soften in an instant.

It's just that, knowing that Cheng Huan is a different person, and I don't remember much about the past, why embarrass her?

The Emperor took her hand and said gently:

"If you can't remember, it's just ......"

As he spoke, he turned his head to the door of the imperial study and said in a loud voice:

"Xu Shizi come in. ”

The emperor's tone was gentle, but Wei Wan was so shocked that she took a step back:

"Xu Chenglin?"

She understood instantly.

No wonder the emperor's tone was so strange - what would happen to her if the real Xu Chenghuan met her brother?

She may rush over happily, she may grab him and shed tears, but she will certainly not be like her, not only indifferent to him, but also want to complain to the emperor!

Wei Wan looked at Xu Chenglin, who walked in with a tall posture, and almost wanted to hide her face and run away - she just got carried away a little and did such a stupid thing!

But she still restrained herself and stood where she was and didn't walk away.

During these days, no one in the Qin Palace's mansion was in the capital, and Fu Han didn't come to trouble her, she was almost a little as muddy as the emperor, she remembered very clearly at this moment that she was not the real queen, not the real Xu Chenghuan!

She Wei Wan is just a pawn in the Qin Palace!

Xu Chenglin stood still in front of the emperor, bowed down, and the initial turmoil in his heart had calmed down.

The emperor patted Wei Wan's hand:

"The queen will go to Zhaoyang Hall first and wait for me, and I will go back after talking to Xu Shizi. ”

Wei Wan thought that the emperor would let herself stage a brother-sister relationship, and when she heard this, although she was surprised, she still calmly curtsied and walked out.

It wasn't until Wei Wan's figure disappeared that the emperor spoke:

"Xu Shizi is surprised?"

The Emperor did not wait for him to speak, but went on to himself:

"I told you that I would bring Cheng Huan back, but you didn't believe it, when An Zhulin appeared in the past, you didn't believe it, so now this queen, do you believe it?"

"Wechen, of course I believe it, when Wechen sees her, it's like seeing Cheng Huan in the past......"

Xu Chenglin knelt in front of the emperor, his eyes gradually wet, and his voice choked.

The Emperor carefully watched his every look, and finally made sure that he was not pretending.

In his two lives, it was the first time he saw Xu Chenglin with red eyes in front of him.

The emperor stood up, walked over, and helped Xu Chenglin up with his own hands.

"I know that you are Cheng Huan's brother, and your heart for Cheng Huan is the same as mine, since Cheng Huan is back now, then we want the monarch and the ministers to work together to ensure the glory and stability of Cheng Huan I, how about it?"

Xu Chenglin gratefully agreed.

"The emperor can treat Cheng Huan well, and the ministers will definitely be loyal to the emperor!"

After Xu Chenglin left, the smile on the emperor's face sank.

Liu Defu carefully served the emperor and put on a big coat to block the wind, and then followed the emperor out of the imperial study.

Walking around the corner under the corridor of the imperial study, there was a little eunuch chewing the root of his tongue in the corner.

"It is said that this Xu Shizi is the queen's own brother!"

"Then why didn't the emperor let their brothers and sisters catch up with the old days, so he sent the queen mother away......"

Liu Defu only vaguely heard these two sentences, and immediately changed his face, and trotted over with a pale face and scolded angrily:

"What are you here!

Before Liu Defu turned around and pleaded for them, the emperor said with a cold face:

"Drag it down, and the rod will be killed. ”

When the fluttering words "cane death" came out, Liu Defu's legs and stomach softened.

The guards who followed behind the emperor stepped forward silently, as if they were accustomed to it, and dragged the two little eunuchs who were already paralyzed on the ground and walked away.

Liu Defu knelt on the ground with a plop.

"The emperor's forgiveness is the fault of the old slave......"

The emperor lowered his eyes and glanced at Liu Defu, who was prostrate on the ground, gloomy with indifference:

"Father-in-law Liu, if it weren't for the fact that you have served me all your life, I would never forgive you for your dereliction of duty today. If there is a next time, then Hugh will blame me for being ruthless!"

Liu Defu pressed his forehead tightly to the ground, and he didn't dare to breathe.

The emperor is becoming more and more murderous, and the word "cane death" comes out of the mouth of an emperor at every turn, what a terrible thing!

The emperor retracted his last glance and strode past Liu Defu, even if this matter was in the past, but layers of anger still surged up from the bottom of his heart-

Why did he want Xu Chenglin and Cheng Huan to catch up?!

If it weren't for Xu Chenglin's brotherly duty to Cheng Huan in his previous life, and he was loyal to him, how could he allow him to this day!

And being able to allow him to meet Cheng Huan today is just to let him continue to work hard for his country in this life!

In this life, the hypocritical Xu family never wants to be close to Cheng Huan again!

Xu Chenglin, who walked out of the palace gate, the emotion and sadness on his face also faded everywhere, and the perfect mask disguised in front of the emperor was shattered in an instant.

She's not Cheng Huan.

Even with an almost identical face, even if he wore the same clothes and walked past him with the same steps, he could still see at a glance that this was just a similar shell, not the soul that made him feel relatable.

His sister's body has been buried in the underground of the imperial tomb forever, and this Wei Wan, no matter what the origin, cannot replace Cheng Huan.

Xu Chenglin looked in the northwest direction outside the capital.

His sister, who is returning with thousands of troops.

There has been no war for a few days, and Xiao Shaotang and Bai Chenghuan rarely have a little comfortable free time.

The two of them took off their armor and walked slowly through the fields of Jizhou.

There are many mountains in the north, and the vast mountains and wilderness have gradually appeared in the gloom of winter.

Bai Chenghuan, who was wearing a snow-white wind and hair cloak, was led by Xiao Shaotang all the way and walked leisurely from the foot of the mountain near the barracks.

"The days go by so fast, I remember when we left the capital, there was still green everywhere, and now when we come back, there are only these dead branches and leaves. ”

"Don't you like to spend the winter?" Xiao Shaotang rarely heard her lament the weather.

Bai Chenghuan was surprised by his question:

"Of course I don't like winter, only fools like winter! Winter is so cold, and I dress like a stupid bear, and I can't move easily, and I can't go anywhere!"

"Besides, in winter, the life of the rich is better, and there are too many poor people who freeze to death and starve to death, just like last winter, when a heavy snow covered it, how many Li people died!"

Hearing her say this, Xiao Shaotang's heart suddenly softened.

What a kind woman his Cheng Huan is, maybe she didn't understand the people's livelihood and hardships in the past, but she is willing to understand all living beings in the world, which is very rare.

Xiao Shaotang nodded and comforted her:

"You're right, winter is really nothing good, but winter is very short, and it will soon be winter to spring, if we can catch up, we may be able to celebrate the New Year in the capital, do you say?"

"Of course it's good, if that day comes, it means that the world is already peaceful, and I can get together with my father, mother, and brother!"

Xiao Shaotang didn't ask her whether her father and mother meant Weibei Hou and his wife, or the Bai family's father, but looked at her clear smile, and he silently swore in his heart that he must take the capital as soon as possible and give her a peaceful and prosperous world!

After walking for a while, Xiao Shaotang wanted to take Bai Chenghuan back.

This year's winter in the north seems to have come very early, and if you exhale softly, you can turn into a white mist, although it has not yet reached the weather where the water is dripping into ice, but the cold wind is howling, and it has begun to swish like a knife from people's cheeks, and it hurts.

Xiao Shaotang stretched out his hand and put back the hood that Bai Chenghuan had taken off.

"It's such a cold day, since you're going to go out for a walk, and you've walked around too, we should go back. ”

The fluffy wind fur tightly surrounded Bai Chenghuan's little face, looking cute and cute, Xiao Shaotang couldn't help but bow his head and kiss her on the cheek.

The slight stubble on his lips was tingling her cheeks, slightly itchy.

Bai Chenghuan chuckled twice, stretched out his hand and pushed him away and ran away alone:

"I'm not going back!

Her laughter echoed through the mountains, crisp and pleasant.

Xiao Shaotang was about to catch up when he turned his head to catch a glimpse of a few pigeons passing in the sky.

His face changed, and he ran a few steps to catch up with Bai Chenghuan.

"Huanhuan, the carrier pigeon in the army is back, should we go back and have a look?"

"Are you back?"

Bai Chenghuan immediately stopped and looked up at the cloudy sky.

The two white doves had landed precisely in the barracks.

By the time Bai Chenghuan and Xiao Shaotang galloped back to the barracks, Mr. Yuan had already got the letter above and was looking for them.

"The prince of Weibei is back, and ...... I have already crossed the clear path in front of the emperor......"

Mr. Yuan wanted to speak and stopped, as if he had not finished speaking.

Bai Chenghuan was very puzzled: "Didn't you say that the emperor wouldn't know about his return for the time being?"

She took the short letter from Mr. Yuan's hand and read it with her own eyes.

Xiao Shaotang saw that her face was not very good because of this, so he comforted:

"It doesn't matter, no matter if you can't cross the clear road, as long as the emperor doesn't embarrass him, it's the same. ”

Bai Chenghuan handed the letterhead in his hand to Xiao Shaotang.

Not only did he cross the Ming Road, he also met Wei Wan, and he seemed to be the same as the emperor, treating Wei Wan as Xu Chenghuan. ”

Xiao Shaotang realized the seriousness of the problem.

He also read the letterhead, and made sure that it was written by Fu Han himself, and his brows were also locked.

It was because of the death of Empress Xiaoyuan Xu Chenghuan that the Weibei Hou Mansion vowed to be the enemy of the emperor, but if Xu Chenghuan came back to life, would the Weibei Hou Mansion shake its mind?

After thinking about it in his heart, Xiao Shaotang felt that Bai Chenghuan should not be worried about this.

He pretended to be relaxed and said to Cheng Huan:

"You don't have to worry about that. Even if he really thinks of Wei Wan as Xu Chenghuan, so what? Don't forget, Wei Wan is still a fine work of our Qin Palace!"

"It's strange here, my father knows that Wei Wan is our person, how could he not remind my brother?"

At the end of the day, Bai Chenghuan didn't do anything, so he struggled with this matter all day, no matter how Xiao Shaotang persuaded him, it was useless.

Did my brother not believe that she was his sister when he saw that Wei Wan?

What if he didn't recognize her anymore?

It wasn't until the evening that two white doves flew in the direction of the capital, and Bai Chenghuan's mood suddenly improved.

I have to say that Xu Chenglin has been Cheng Huan's brother for more than ten years, and he still understands his sister.

He was afraid that Bai Chenghuan would be sad after hearing the news, so Tete explained it to her.

Bai Chenghuan was also very happy when he saw his reason.

"I'll just say that my brother is not so stupid! He is just a false and wronged snake with the emperor, and he is going to marry Sixian!"

Seeing Bai Chenghuan happy, Xiao Shaotang was also happy in his heart, but there was an indescribable sour jealousy quietly pouring out-

"Huanhuan, do you really care so much about this brother-in-law of yours?"

Although they are now brother and sister, they are also a man in the end, why is Huanhuan not afraid of him being jealous?

Bai Chenghuan and Xiao Shaotang have been together for so long, and they already know his thoughts well, and when they heard him ask this awkwardly, they laughed out loud.

"Of course I care about him, but I care more about you!"

Although he knew that this might just be Cheng Huan's sweet words to appease him, Xiao Shaotang's mood turned cloudy in an instant.

But things that make the two of them feel better are still to come.

In the evening, Sanxi ran in happily:

"Your Royal Highness, Concubine Shizi, Yuan Jing and Zhao Wenbai have fallen out!"
