On the seventh day of the seventh month, the Begging Festival.

In the Wild Goose Dynasty, the Qiqiao Festival is one of the most lively festivals of the year, and the entire Changning City is decorated with lights, fire trees and silver flowers. Even in the Taiye River, which is separated from the market by a wall, there are river lamps floating in from outside the palace along the river.

Compared with the bustle outside the imperial city, the Wende Hall was quiet and quiet, and there was no sound at all. The quietly burning palace lamp stretched the figure sitting on the edge of the dragon couch for a long time, and it was reflected on the sandalwood and gold screen, showing a bit of weirdness and hideousness.

Ye Xiu slowly opened his eyes, and in the dim light, he only saw a pair of beautiful eyes that were as moist as autumn water. I don't know how long the man sat silently on the edge of the couch, and he didn't speak, there was a little more gentleness between his eyebrows and eyes that he hadn't seen for a long time, and his long eyelashes cast a butterfly-like shadow on his face.

Ye Xiu moved his lips, only to feel that his throat was very dry, and it took him a few coughs to find his voice, and he only felt that his voice was hoarse and a little hysterical, "You're here." ”

Feng Weishu bent his eyebrows slightly and said "um" softly.

"Today is the Begging Festival, why don't you go to Yanxi Hall to celebrate the festival with the concubines, but come to see me? You're not...... It's been a long time since you've been to see me? Ye Xiu narrowed his eyes and carefully traced the eyebrows and eyes of the person in front of him. The first time he saw her, he felt that this woman was very similar to his Shu'er......

Feng Weishu shook his head and did not answer. What's the point of being with those concubines? It's just a puzzle piece of that person. Over the years, when she saw someone, she felt a little more depressed in her heart, and even the concubines disappeared. The world thought that she favored the harem and was unstoppable, and it was precisely because of her existence that Ye Xiu snubbed the other concubines, but only she knew, no, what that person saw in his eyes was always another person.

Feng Weishu raised his hand and tucked Ye Xiu's somewhat messy sideburns behind his ears, and his fingertips inadvertently crossed Ye Xiu's face, a little affectionately cold, "Your Majesty still remember the seventh night of the seventh month of July in the fifteenth year of Yuankang?" ”

In the fifteenth year of Yuankang, at that time, Ye Xiu was not "His Majesty", but only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the East Palace. His Royal Highness the Prince's favorite woman, the then crown princess He Yanshu, died in childbirth on this day.

At that time, she was still young, and when she saw the tired frowning brows through a screen, and with a hint of sadness between her eyebrows, the crown prince gave birth to the baby who desperately gave birth to the crown princess, she was inevitably tempted. At that time, the matter of seizing the heir was tight, and there was no suitable nurse in the East Palace, and it happened that her sister-in-law gave birth to a child, so Ye Xiu sent Ye Lin to Fengfu to ask her sister-in-law to raise her together. At that time, the Fengfu and the East Palace were like a family, and there was no difference between the monarchs and ministers.

The elder brother said that he loved his crown princess very much, and after the death of the crown princess, Ye Xiu did not even accept a concubine again. Feng Weishu had never seen the dead crown princess, but at that time she was very envious of her, envious that this short-lived crown princess could be loved by such an affectionate man. Even with the children of the crown princess, they are a little concerned.

When the little baby mistakenly thought she was his mother and stretched out his hand with an innocent smile to him, Feng Weishu, who had not yet married, was even a little happy.

Therefore, when her father asked her what kind of man she wanted to marry in the future, Feng Weishu blushed and said that she wanted to marry a man like His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Later, she really married the crown prince. But at that time, he was no longer the crown prince, but the emperor.

When the red hijab was lifted, she saw the diligent and thrifty emperor's eyebrows stretched, and her expression was stunned for a moment. At that time she covered her mouth and smiled, it turned out that she could also do it, and fascinated him.

Feng Weishu thought that although she was not his first wife, she was his first queen. She must be a very good queen.

When her first child was accidentally lost because of the concubines in the harem, and the imperial doctor bluntly said that the queen would not have any more heirs, the anger in Ye Xiu's eyes was palpable. He imprisoned the concubine who made the mistake in the Jiuhua Palace, which had been abandoned since the founding of the country, and held her and called "Shu'er" over and over again. ”

Feng Weishu thought that Ye Xiu should like her, so much so that even if she could never give him a child again, he didn't care. She is also the queen, the queen who can teach Ye Lin like her own son.

It wasn't until Ye Lin was nine years old that Ye Xiu said to her with drunken eyes, "Shu'er, if you are still alive, you will definitely be able to see that our Lin'er is very good, he has grown up." The truth was gradually known to her.

It turned out that the "book" he was emotionally aroused never called her, it was not a "book", but a "Shu'er", and it turned out that he was five points similar to the princess who had died a long time ago. It turned out that Ye Xiu's harem was nothing more than He Yanshu's puzzle. He still loves the crown princess who has been dead for many years and must have turned to ashes now. Every night, it is not her who sleeps. In his heart, he never regarded her as his wife.

Feng Weishu realized at that moment that after so many years, he was just a substitute for He Yanshu. She will never be able to replace He Yanshu's position in his heart, because He Yanshu is dead, died in the best years, and will never grow old.

It was on that day that she inadvertently triggered the mechanism of the secret chamber of the Wende Temple, opening the door to a new world. The truth sent chills down her back and she almost lost all her mind. She hated Ye Xiu very much, hated He Yanshu very much, and hated the little boy named Ye Lin very much, and even vented all her anger on Ye Lin. If there was no Ye Lin, He Yanshu would not have died, she would not have fallen in love with Ye Xiu, and she would not have made her love a joke.

Looking at the injured expression on the face of the little boy who was somewhat similar to himself, Feng Weishu felt a trace of pleasure, He Yanshu, this is what you owe me, let your son atone for your sins instead of you!

When Ye Xiu finally found out that he couldn't put Ye Lin by her side, this little boy had already closed his heart, became cold and arrogant, and no longer wanted others to approach.

After Ye Lin went to the East Palace, she lost the object of venting her anger again, and gradually, a seed of hatred in her heart slowly began to sprout, she thought, this throne, the most important thing in his heart, or they helped the Feng family to get it, he lied to her, why didn't she take this throne back?

An inquiry echoed silently in the empty hall, Ye Xiu did not answer, and the turbulent waves in the black pupils gradually fell silent. After a while, Ye Xiu sighed as relieved and said, "Shu'er, in this life, I owe you after all."

Shu'er Shu'er, what she hates most is this call! Feng Weishu felt a tingling pain in his heart, turned around and picked up the gold-inlaid Hetian white jade bowl on the side, scooped up a spoonful of dark brown decoction, blew it and handed it to Ye Xiu, and said softly: "Your Majesty Xià should take medicine."

Ye Xiu turned his head, and the smile on the corner of his lips gradually widened, "Do you know that Lin'er is not in Beijing now?" So he chose such a time to end his painful life?

Feng Weishu's hand holding the jade spoon froze slightly, his eyes became sharp, and he just wanted to retract his hand, but he was caught by Ye Xiu, and couldn't help but ask coldly, "You always know?"

Know what? Knowing that there has always been a deadly poison in his medicine, slowly eroding his life, or do you know that she deliberately released the flaws of the Ministry of Rites by diverting the tiger from the mountain, and sent Ye Lin to Changning, so as to control the power and usurp the throne?

Ye Xiu pushed the hand he was holding to his side, raised his head and poured the bowl of poison/medicine, only to hear the crisp sound of the jade shattering on the ground, echoing in the empty hall.

The corners of Ye Xiu's mouth slowly overflowed with black-red blood, and the light of life in the abyss-like black pupils gradually extinguished, and he said, "Shu'er, this life is what I paid you back." ”

The love of his life died on this day twenty years ago, and twenty years later, he died on this day. Ye Xiu felt that he was actually very complete, but he was suffering from his Lin'er.

On the seventh day of the seventh month of the 19th year of Jinghe, Emperor Wen Xiu died in the warm pavilion of the Wende Palace, when the queen was on the side, Emperor Mo could leave only a few words. Prince Lin was not in Beijing, and the matter was handed over to the regent Feng Weizhou to deal with.

When the news reached the Prime Minister's Mansion, Su Yao was engrossed in playing against Su Ying, and when he heard the news, the white son in his hand slipped to the ground.

Su Xu rushed from the main courtyard to the flower hall where Su Yao and Su Ying were almost instantly, and asked Su Yao: "What did His Majesty say when he summoned you to the palace that day?"

Ye Lin quietly left Beijing for the matter of bribery and fraud in the investigation of the scientific examination, and he didn't know it, but now everyone knows it, and Ye Xiu, who has been sick for a long time, died suddenly at this time, which always makes people wonder if it is too coincidental.

After the seal, he was ambitious, and the East Palace and the Regent Mansion were facing each other, and the only possible person could be Su Yao, who was summoned to the palace by an urgent edict a few days ago.

Su Xu only knew that Su Yao had entered the Wende Hall and had a long conversation with the emperor, but he couldn't ask half a sentence. Su Yao's tight-lipped mouth can be regarded as the ultimate. But at this time, unlike in the past, Empress Feng's words could never be believed, and Su Yao became the last person to see the emperor. Now that the entire Changning is under the control of the Feng family, if there is still a glimmer of hope in the East Palace to be able to win back a game, the hope can only be pinned on Su Yao.

Su Yao ignored Su Xu, stood up calmly, and accidentally overturned a whole game of chess, and the white and black pieces were scattered all over the ground, Su Yao didn't care much, but his eyes were a little hollow, and one hand subconsciously clenched a delicate bag worn on his waist, not knowing who he was talking to.

"I'm going to the palace."
