57. Death of the father

85_85279 Time is a very wonderful thing, if you are in a bad mood, then you will spend your days like years, if you have something to look forward to in your heart, then time will also become a sweet thing, take a bite and take a bite less.

After knowing that Zhu Di didn't mean to embarrass me, my heart became more peaceful, as if I kept a secret with him, only we know, and I had to pretend to be two unrelated people on my face. Sometimes a casual look at each other will make each other feel at ease. Zhu Di was very good to Xu Yunhua during this time - he pretended to be bad to me, but he may not have pretended to be Xu Yunhua's number, after all, he was a young couple who had married his hair all the way to the present, and Zhu Di's feelings and dependence on Xu Yunhua were also deep-rooted.

On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Yanwangfu held a moon-viewing banquet in the back garden, and specially prepared fresh watermelons, large moon cakes, plump red pomegranates and other delicacies, and the family gathered together to talk and smile.

I also took Bao'er Zhu'er to find an open space on the side, and directly brought a sheet to spread on the ground and sit on the ground. We made our own mooncakes and pastries, and the princess also brought us watermelons and pomegranates during the day. In the distance, you can still hear their laughter frolicking in the distance, and the flute and flute sound played by the band are very complacent.

The tip of the nose is the rich fragrance of the woody flower, the hand is the fragrant cake, there is the melodious sound of silk and bamboo in the ear, and when I look up, there is a round moon in the sky above. As the saying goes, "the moon of fifteen is sixteen round", and the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival has a slight defect. I laughed with Zhu'er Bao'er and said that tomorrow we will come out for another day. It was the middle of the night, and the people over there had gradually packed up and gone back to the house, and Zhu'er began to yawn and urge me to go back.

I really couldn't bear the moonlight and the rare cool and good weather in early autumn, so I smiled and told them to go back first, and then I sat down. Originally, Bao'er was going to stay with me for a while, but Zhu'er couldn't get all the guys back by herself, so Bao'er went with her to help.

Thinking that the people in the garden were scattered, the place where the princess and princess were was really the best place to admire the moon, and now I can also go to the station to see the moonlight style, and then walk forward. Halfway through, a figure appeared in the woods next to me, startling me. I thought it was a girl or a little girl who had just come out of it, and I was afraid that I would embarrass people here, so I immediately turned around and walked back, and I didn't see who it really was.

Suddenly, there was a strong wind behind me, and I was about to catch the man, but when I turned around, I saw a familiar face, Yue Longcheng was standing behind me with a full body of wind and frost, with a slight smile on his face.

"Yue ......" I almost jumped up with joy, and suddenly remembered that this was still the palace, and there were many people, so I immediately swallowed the words back, grabbed his arm, twisted him and pulled him into the woods, "Yuelong City, you ......"

Halfway through speaking, he was a little choked, and he could only clench his fists and hammer him twice, "Are you okay?" ”

Yue Longcheng smiled, "Can't I come back to you?" ”

"Do you know how worried I am about you these days!" Seeing that his smile was also windy, I squeezed out this sentence.

Yue Long Cheng found a place to sit down, and pointed to the open space next to him for me to sit down too, "Look at your appearance, you should be living well here, right?" ”

I nodded slightly, "It's fine." "After pondering for a long time, I slowly told him everything that happened after Yuelongcheng left, and finally I was a little twisted, telling him that on the tenth day of October, Zhu Di was going to marry me.

After Yue Longcheng heard this, his face was very surprised, and after I told him that Zhu Di actually knew that I was Jinyiwei, he was even more surprised, "The emperor is now arresting the former Jinyiwei, regardless of whether he bends the law for personal gain, and after he is caught, he will be put in prison for abuse of power and beheaded after the autumn, which is the meaning of comforting the minister." King Yan dares to marry you after knowing your identity, this ......"

Of course, I was embarrassed to tell him about the various encounters between me and Zhu Di, and Yue Longcheng saw that I no longer answered, so he just smiled, "But I am still very happy for you that you have this good home." With a husband like King Yan, no one will be able to move you in the future. ”

Yue Longcheng was also under the pressure of the imperial court, but he went back specifically for me, but I told him that I was going to get married, and there was always a little bump in my heart, "Brother Longcheng, what about you, do you plan to find me a sister-in-law?" ”

Yue Longcheng smiled innocently, "The women outside the Seychelles are so arrogant, some of them are not used to each other, and Kannai is not my long-term love home." I'm just coming back this time for you, and I'll talk about these children later. ”

I felt a faint sense of loss in my heart, but I couldn't say why, as if the distance between me and Yuelong City had suddenly widened a lot. Between this distance, it's just a Zhu Di. In the past, I thought that there would always be nothing to say about Yue Long City, and that this relationship would continue until I was old, but now it turns out that this is not the case.

"I said I was going to buy you a dowry, and it seems that it is the right time to come back, otherwise I would not have missed your wedding?" Yue Long Cheng saw that I was sad, so he pretended to laugh lightly.

I nodded with tears in my eyes, "yes, that's what you promised me." ”

Yue Long Cheng gently took me to his shoulder, and I finally couldn't help but sobbed softly. This is a relative, this is a feeling that blood is thicker than water, and Yuelong City is my eternal dependence. After a long time, I raised my head and whispered, "Brother Long Cheng, since you are back, there is something I want to ask you for help." ”

"What's the matter?"

"I want to ...... I want to take my dad over and enjoy my old age. He was too unsafe in Jinling...... I know it's dangerous for you to do it, but I can't find anyone else. ”

Yue Long Cheng's face was pale, fleeting, with a smile on his face, "Yes." ”

I have known Yuelong City for more than ten years, he is a steady person, and every little action can't escape my eyes, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's not much, there are still two months left, I'll help you pick up Uncle Helian."

"Are you hiding something from me?" I sat directly across from Yuelong City, but I noticed more and more that his eyes were dodging.

"It's not early, the palace is not a place to stay for a long time, I'm leaving." Yue Long Cheng looked at him left and right.

I snapped back and grabbed his shoulders with both hands, "What's wrong with Dad?!" What's wrong with Daddy?! ”

Yue Longcheng raised his head, his eyes flashing with mist, "His old man is on the outskirts of Jinling...... Very good......"

"You lied to me......" My tears were already flowing! It's me who is too stupid, Jinling is the place where Jinyiwei has the most frequent activities, and it is also the place where Zhu Yuanzhang is the easiest to control, my father is an old man, even if he is old and strong, how can he live and work in Jinling so far! "Daddy's gone, isn't he?"

Yue Longcheng didn't answer, just hugged me, who was almost crazy, for fear that I would do something inappropriate.

"I'm going back, I'm going back to see Daddy. He didn't even have a pension to send him to his death. "My tears were left wantonly, crying at Yuelong City.

Yue Long Cheng hugged me tightly, "Don't make trouble, don't make trouble!" Now I don't need you to send it to the end, he is a good old man. ”

"What do you mean?" I looked at him confused.

Yuelong Cheng's face was sad, "Helian was already gone when I left...... I buried him on the outskirts of Jinling. At that time, we could not protect ourselves, and I did not dare to sue you, for fear that you would know that you would go to the grave to see him. At that time, the wind was tight, and if we appeared in Jinling, we would definitely be hunted down. This is also the reason why I insist on letting you stay in the palace, I can't protect Uncle Helian, which means that I can't protect you. ”

Looking at Yue Long Cheng's painful face, I also burst into tears, "Why...... Why didn't you sue me sooner. ”

"I'm coming back this time, firstly, to see if you are doing well, and secondly, to tell you about it. If you hadn't asked, I would have thought I'd wait until after your wedding. ”

"Why, why are you hiding it from me so far?" I was incoherent.

Yue Longcheng just hugged me tightly and made me bury my face in his chest and cry continuously.

I should have guessed, but I have only cared about myself these days, and I have never thought about how my father and his old man are doing, and now I have not even seen him for the last time, I have not even visited his grave once, and I have not even burned a piece of straw paper to him. When I think of this, I am even more sad.

"Sue me, how did Daddy die?"

He ...... He was chased and killed by a gang of people...... When I arrived, he still had a breath of air, and he only called your name in his mouth, and I told him that I would take good care of you, and he closed his eyes. Yue Long Cheng said intermittently.

I listened to these words and my heart was twisted, "Who? Who was so ruthless as to kill an old man? ”

"I don't know. At that time, I was also like a rat crossing the street, and I didn't dare to track it down at all, so after burying Uncle Helian under a false name, I fled all the way to Beiping, and I also encountered many killers on the way. ”

I sneered in my heart, my father has been a Jinyi guard for a lifetime, but he is an upright old man, and everything is done according to the instructions from above. Zhu Yuanzhang exhausted his organs, and when he deposed Jinyiwei, he was afraid that he would also issue a hunt and kill order. Otherwise, he himself just issued a dismissal order, who would dare to kill people in Jinling so blatantly?

Yue Longcheng saw my solemn expression and said, "The emperor's mind is something we can't guess. Our Jinyi guard has too many secrets about him. ”

"With so many people's blood on his hands, isn't he afraid when he sleeps on the dragon bed?"

Yue Long Cheng was silent.

We made an appointment to meet at the tea shop, and he left. As soon as I returned to the residence with my front foot, Zhu Di followed with my back foot. Helplessly, I just learned the news of my father's death, and I was in a bad mood, and I didn't have the heart to talk to him, so I said, "Tonight's Mid-Autumn Festival, the prince should accompany the princess." ”

Zhu Di said lightly, "I've been with her for most of the night, and I want to come and see you." ”

I was thinking about my father so much that I couldn't notice the expression on Zhu Di's face
