Wen Heng didn't come back all day, Xiao Bai was extremely quiet today, sitting on the side, holding a pen and drawing talismans on a piece of white paper with a serious expression.
There was a person sitting in front of Mu He, dressed in official uniform, with high black hair, smiling and drinking tea, explaining everything about Beilu to her.
It turned out that Wen Heng and Wei Huai had a disagreement more than three years ago, and the incident of Qi Rong broke out after that. The original Wei Huai was like an unweaned child, whether it was military or political, the governance of the ministers of all parties was quite complaining, he felt a headache, and when something happened, he called Wen Heng, treating him as an almighty person, resisting all difficulties, and maintaining a smooth sailing, peaceful and leisurely overall situation in the world.
Wei Huai is a very rare emperor, an emperor without the slightest ambition, as he himself said, he is not suitable to be an emperor, and he does not have the courage and ability to dominate the world. His weakness was especially significant in the battle with Xiao Guo, and when the news of Wen Heng's death came, he was completely dispossessed, and he did not give the order to save the rout. locked himself in the dormitory, thinking that losing Wen Heng was equivalent to losing the world and premature decadence. The generals who worked for him on the front line were resentful, but it was difficult to say anything. There is no one to command above, and the bottom is naturally fighting separately, and it has become a pot of porridge.
If it weren't for Wen Heng's arrangement in advance, he would have cleverly built his "death" on the vitality of Xiaoguo at the same time. Xiao Guo couldn't recover for a long time, so he lost such a great opportunity and didn't attack the defeated Beilu. This incident made Wei Huaihan feel like a general, but it pushed Wen Heng to the supreme dominance.
Wei Huai didn't have the slightest intention of resisting Wen Heng in the past, and for the first time he put Wen Heng together in the matter of Linglong Buckle, and he was furious in the matter of Qi Rong. Wen Heng took all the good things, got Mu He, and gave birth to a son. It's not that he can't tolerate Wen Heng's power, he is jealous and unwilling, obviously it is his world, but everyone only looks forward to Wen Heng, obviously he is the person he likes, but he can only push it into Wen Heng's arms.
From begging Wen Heng to return to Beilu every day, to the minister's joint request for advice, he couldn't bear to pay homage to Wen Heng. From full of trust to full of vigilance, in the past three years, he has made a stumbling block for Wen Heng either openly or secretly, but Wen Heng seems to have no mind, watching lightly, never putting him in his eyes, no pain or itching, and no harm to the root.
In another year, Wen Heng transferred Su Yu back to Beijing, and Wen Heng withdrew more from the government, but he also grasped the lifeline of Beilu more tightly, leaving Su Yu to mediate with him.
Only then did he gradually understand that he couldn't even cross the high mountain of Su Yu, let alone Wen Heng behind him. The two of them โกโก face and sang white, making his imperial power look so ridiculous.
Wei Huai naturally resisted, fiercely and stubbornly, but it was like a grasshopper shaking a tree, and the result was in vain.
Gradually, to this day, he is like a trapped beast and loses his fighting spirit.
"Emperor Qi can tolerate people, he has a gentle heart, but he is not suitable to be an emperor. It doesn't matter if it's in a peaceful and prosperous world, but the southern continent and the neighboring countries are not at ease, Lord Wen is unwilling to give asylum again, once he withdraws, at most two years, the northern continent will collapse, not Lord Wen, it will be someone else. Ah He, I naturally understand what you mean, but this matter is not just about the personal affairs of children and daughters, and a wise man is needed in troubled times. Moreover, the situation has developed so far, even if Lord Wen does not do anything to Emperor Qi, Emperor Qi will not be able to tolerate Lord Wen for a long time, and the important ministers of the court are all on Lord Wen's side, he just has no capital to resist. Su Yu drank the tea slowly, seemed to be smiling, and said rebellious words calmly.
The emperor whose imperial power was elevated, Mu He thought about the day he first met, his ethereal eyes were so desperate that he took a deep breath.
Su Yu looked at her complexion and concluded with a smile, "It seems that you are on Emperor Qi's side more?" โ
Mu He said, "I naturally stand on my husband's side. โ
Su Yu pursed her lower lip with a smile and said lazily, "It seems that Wen Heng didn't hurt you in vain." โ

At dusk, Mu He personally cooked and made something, Xiaobai tasted it lightly, and when she swallowed it, her face turned white, she pulled her sleeve, and said weakly, "Mother, let's go out to eat." โ
Mu He thought that he still didn't want to toss the child, so he ordered the cook to make a new table. The little chubby dun was already very hungry, and even if he didn't need to be fed, he could sit on a small stool and concentrate on eating.
Mu He propped his head and looked out of the door, his appetite was scarce, he suddenly heard the sound of cars and horses, his body was shocked, and he put down the dishes and chopsticks and hurriedly greeted the door.
However, the carriage stopped in front of the door, and it was not Wen Heng who came down, but it also surprised her.
Yueniang was blessed in front of her, "I think of what the owner said to me, and I can't rest assured that I can't ......"
Mu He's face was hot, he looked at the coachman who was looking at this side in a daze, and interrupted her, "Well, let's go to the house first." โ
At night, after Mu He put Xiaobai to sleep, he gently exited the house and went to find Yueniang.
Yueniang, who was embroidering under the lamp, saw Mu He sitting in front of her without saying a word, and couldn't help but feel funny, and took off the needle and thread, "I thought you came to say something to me again, but you are silent here." Look, you haven't talked much all day today, did you see Wen Heng? โ
Mu He looked at the pair of winged birds she embroidered, and was stunned for a long time before telling her about meeting Wen Heng last night. Naturally, Wen Heng's rebellion was hidden, although this matter was known to the world, but she didn't want to reveal it to others from her mouth, and she had a subtle sense of maintenance.
After hearing this, Yueniang seemed puzzled, "Since you have made up your mind, why didn't you explain it to him last night?" โ
Mu He looked away, "I explained, but he didn't listen." โ
The needle and thread in Yueniang's hand stagnated, looked at her sideways, and fell silent.
"Wen Heng is telling the truth, and I can't use lies to appease him." Mu He sighed, "It wasn't my intention to be with him at first, even if it wasn't to the extent he said, I was really resisting this matter in my heart, Wen Heng was careful and sensitive, and he must have seen it a long time ago." How else can I explain that trying to cover it up will make him think that I have bad intentions. โ
However, time is something that can change everything, and the water has worn down the sharp stones, and her guards gradually become less guarded. When you are young, you can remember one thing for a long time and toss your own sadness. Human nature is like this, a person has artificially defended you ninety-nine, but as long as you do one wrong, you can be deeply remembered and thought betrayal.
The infection of the peaceful life of Qiwu Villa made her understand that it was the best, but everything was as usual, and it was she herself who was drilling the tip of the horns. gradually faded the sharp edge of having to distinguish who was right and who was wrong in everything, and gradually let go of the past.
But she changed too slowly, crossed the limit of what he had waited, and witnessed his outburst.
Murong Ling was right, she forced him to be what he is now. It's not that she doesn't know, but she doesn't want to know.

The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
A wine bottle fell from the desk and shattered to the ground. The little eunuch outside was dazed, and his sleepiness dissipated a lot and he bowed in, "Your Majesty? โ
"Get out." Another wine glass was thrown straight and slammed on the wood carving next to the eunuch, so frightened that his legs weakened, and he hurriedly knelt down, "Get out!" โ
The voice was cold and hard, dyed with a thick drunkenness.
"Your Majesty will have an early court tomorrow, but it is so late today, but you are still drinking?" A group of people walked in front of the courtyard, the leader of whom was surrounded by the lamps carried by the lamp, a luxurious purple robe and python pattern official uniform, with a finger-wide ink-colored belt tied around the waist, and twenty-four jade stones decorated on it. The bright eyes are shining, dyed with peach blossoms, the corners of the lips are three points of gentle smile, and the elegant figure is even more outstanding against the background of the eunuchs who are bowing down and bending their knees, and they are not stained with dust.
The eunuch kneeling in front of Wei Huai's door saw that Wen Heng was coming, and he didn't dare to stand in the way, so he moved his knees and retreated, his head so low that he was about to be buried in the ground.
Wen Heng entered the door, glanced at the mess in the room, Wei Huai stared at him with a pair of red eyes, smiled lightly, and glanced at the person trembling at his feet, "You go down." โ
The eunuch seemed to have received a royal order, but he didn't even ask Wei Huai's meaning, and was grateful to Dade for retreating.
When Wei Huai saw the appearance of his subordinates, he was so angry that he pushed the things piled up on the table, leaned back in the chair, and closed his eyes, "It's all at this time, why are you still pretending to be here, if you want to kill, you will kill." โ
Wen Heng stepped forward, lit the extinguished lamp on the table for him, and said in an almost gentle voice, "I'm talking about tomorrow." โ
"You're so deceitful! Do I have to listen to you even if I die, when I die?! โ
Wei Huai's voice was slightly hoarse, although it was not manic, but there was also a bit of hysteria in the suppressed bass. As everyone knows, Wen Heng smiled gently at him instead, "Naturally." โ
Wei Huai choked, stared at his face, and laughed heartlessly for a long time, "How dare you, how dare you...... It's so rampant. Wei Huai stood up suddenly, "You killed my father, killed my brother, and in the end you will kill me." I know I can't defeat you, and even this throne is given to me by you. I can only curse you, curse you for life, love and part, ask for nothing, even if you sit on top of 10,000 people, you can only enjoy 10,000 years of loneliness! โ
Wen Heng didn't move, under the light, his face was like white jade, his ink pupils were moist under his long eyelashes, and he was silent, but the smile on his lips did not change. "I have Ah He, that's enough."
With a flip in his hand, he dropped the dagger, and the bright blade flashed a cold light in the moonlight, Wei Huai Er raised his head, and heard Wen Heng then said gently, "If you can't wait for tomorrow, you can do it yourself." โ
โโฆโฆโ
The dazzling lights dissipated with Wen Heng's departure, and only Wei Huai was left in the room, with a bright dagger in front of him, looking at each other silently.
The night was like a black mist, gradually blown away by the rising sun, and I don't know when, there was a person standing at his door, with a lazy expression, and the corners of his lips carried two arcs that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, "Your Majesty, it's time to prepare for the morning court." โ
Wei Huai was shocked by this sentence, and when he saw the rising sun outside, the horror in his heart seemed to be clear in vain, and he shrank deeper into the chair, "Don't go." โ
Su Yu didn't say anything more, and glanced lightly at the maids waiting beside her, as if they had received a royal order, they rushed in and surrounded Wei Huai.
"I said it, I won't go!" Wei Huai pushed away the nearest maid, and subconsciously grabbed the dagger on the table, "Get out of here!" โ
When the maids saw the dagger, they all stepped back in shock, pushing one by one, and the dragon robe accessories that had been replaced fell to the ground.
I don't know if he was shocked by the chaotic scene in front of him, Wei Huai's expression changed slightly, and he ran towards Su Yu at the door with a dagger in his hand.
Su Yu is a civil official, and he doesn't know swordsmanship, he knows this, except for the useless eunuchs, he doesn't have a single guard with him, if he can escape...... Maybe......
In his heart, he just wanted to escape, but looking at Su Yu, who was getting closer and closer, he still couldn't help but feel nervous, and his body raised the dagger towards him before he realized it.
At the moment when he raised his sword to stab, the defenseless Su Yu in front of him was still calm and smiling, as if what he was doing now was nothing more than a battle of trapped beasts.
Then his hand was clasped, not very strong, but it brought a tingling pain, and with a flick of his wrist, the dagger slipped weakly from between his fingers and fell to the ground.
"Bad taste." Someone behind him frowned and whispered such a sentence, his voice was cold, but it made his whole person slightly stunned, and he looked back in disbelief.
Mu He's long hair was untied, as if it was just casual, and it was simply tied up with a silk thread. On his body, he was not wearing a man's robe, but a hibiscus purple wide sleeve curled robe, and the waist was tied with a jade white brocade belt.
Su Yu saw that Mu He's eyes were sparse, and he smiled a little innocently and flatteringly, "With you, how can I be afraid that he will hurt me." After a pause, his voice changed slightly, and he seemed to be smiling, "Aren't you on the side of Lord Wen?" โ
Wei Huai's eyes that were shocked a moment ago, but at this moment, they were dimly shattered, and he shook his hand angrily, but he couldn't break free.
Mu He glanced at Wei Huai, didn't say anything, grabbed his cuffs and walked out.
Su Yu didn't follow, but heavily armed guards crowded in, surrounding the imperial study layer after layer.
Mu He pulled Wei Huai to his side, slowly drew his sword out of the sheath with one hand, his eyes were indifferent, and his momentum was already terrifying.
"Stand down." Su Yu was still standing at the door of the imperial study, waving his sleeves, the words were light, and the general was dumbfounded.
Mu He was stunned and asked, "What do you mean by this?" โ
"This is Wen Xiang's instructions, if you come to rob someone, just protect you unscathed, don't worry about anything else."
Mu He was stunned for a moment, Wei Huai's eyes were more complicated, and he said two words coldly, "Hypocrisy." โ
This unprovoked word will fall, and a cold arrow will break through the air, pointing directly at Wei Huai. Mu He just paused for a moment, and then he saw the face of the person hiding on the roof, and the thoughts flashed in his eyes, and he swung his sword sharply and cut off the stray arrow.
Su Yu naturally also saw this scene in his eyes, his always breezy face was surging at this moment, and at the end, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze towards the killer, and his eyes looked in the direction of Mu He.
By the time the others found out, the man who shot the arrow was gone.
Mu He glanced at Su Yu meaningfully, grabbed Wei Huai, who was stunned by the cold arrow, and walked out quickly.
"Did Ah He see it, did you see it! He clearly said that you should go, but it turned out that people were secretly killers! โ
Mu He just didn't hear about it.
"The right thing, Ah He, you must not say it to Wen Xiang." The generals were at a loss to avoid it, but Su Yu quickly caught up, "I begged you for the lunch." โ
Mu He was not very moved, "Why bother to ask for words easily." Catching a glimpse of Su Yu's really panicked expression, he still softened his heart, "I'll consider it." โ
robbed people to rob this, Mu He thought that he had nothing to say.
Along the way, the guards with knives retreated some distance, and watched as she went to the stable to fetch her horse and whipped away.

At the beginning of the morning, the solemn city wall projected a bit thick, like a sleeping beast, lying down here.
In the courtyard, a pool of lotus flowers blooms quietly and warmly, and a single person sits in the pavilion, looking at the city gate hidden at the other end of the courtyard wall, and pours himself a drink.
The general in silver armor came in a hurry, knelt on one knee after entering the door, bowed his head and said, "Wen Xiang, there is news from the palace that Emperor Qi has been robbed." โ
His hand holding the pot stiffened slightly, and the smile on the corner of his lips unconsciously widened a little, "En." โ
"The city gate was not opened last night, if Emperor Qi wants to escape, he must pass through the city gate, not ......"
Wen Heng lightly cut off the general's words, "It's okay, open the door." โ
Wen Heng's words are more important than the holy decree, and no matter how outrageous the decision is, it can make people believe it for no reason. The general only thought that he was stupid, but he still thought he was smart in front of him for a while, and lowered his head even lower, "Yes." โ
Wen Heng drank the wine in the glass and went into the house to change into an official uniform. It seems that there is no need to go to court today.
When I went out, there were already hundreds of soldiers waiting outside, ready to go.
Outside the courtyard is a straight road, even though it is far away, you can see the wide open city gate at a glance, and the warm slanting sun is projected under the doorway, which is dazzling.
The talented general stepped forward with a somewhat convincing and pious expression, "Wen Xiang Shenxuan, the person who kidnapped Emperor Qi has already come here." โ
Wen Heng glanced at him and smiled gently, "Emperor Qi is no longer afraid, why should you be wary of him?" โ
The general was stunned, "The minister is stupid." โ
"The whole world is not the king's land, where can he escape? I'm just reassuring her. After a pause, he said lightly, "The general has been raised." โ
The general couldn't hear the difference between "him" and "her", but he could hear the meaning of the last sentence, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened, could it be that after Emperor Qi abdicated, Wen Heng was unwilling to take over Beilu? Before he could ask, the soldiers in front of him had already called softly.
"They've arrived."
On the bluestone street, only three or two shops opened their doors, checked the tense situation outside, and closed the door tightly. In the oblique morning light, the sound of horses' hooves approached.
Mu He squinted his eyes and turned against the light, seeing the army unfolding in front of her, the monk and the gloomy street under the shadows, Wen Heng who was dressed in snow clothes and was a fairy.
He looked at her, his eyes seemed to contain distant mountains and water, moist and calm. 166 Reading Network
