Chapter 182: Plum Blossoms in the Snow
At present, the situation in the grasslands is still unclear, and the conclusion has not yet been reached on whether the surrounding forces are stable, and there must not be any more commotion within Daqi. Yesterday's incident, whether it was Concubine Bo taking the assassin to find the emperor, or the emperor imprisoning his mother and concubine into the cold palace, if it was publicized, it would cause a commotion among the people.
And the matter of Maitreya just past, the news that the emperor was not born by the emperor himself, and the social turmoil caused by it has just subsided. If there is such a thing now, it will definitely affect the stability of the society.
"So what do we do?"
Dong Rong was a little helpless, Concubine Bo had done so many hurtful things, of course she hoped that she would be punished. But for the sake of the big picture, there can only be a choice.
The queen mother didn't know the pros and cons, and the two looked at each other and already knew it.
But now there is something more important than that.
The Queen Mother looked at the cup on the coffee table and asked very casually:
"How did Dongfang Qiu escape? Who let him go, is it Concubine Bo? ”
She thought about it when Concubine Bo left her palace in the middle of the night, and it was very likely that she was looking for it
"It must be so."
Dong Rong's voice was a little low, "But if you soak in this vinegar for a long time, your body will definitely be damaged." His martial arts, normally speaking, would not be able to recover. ”
Dong Rong thought about it, although this was the conclusion of many people, she was still faintly worried.
"Now the key is to find him first. If the martial arts are completely wasted, there is nothing to be afraid of. But since he was able to rush to the grassland in such a short time and help Batu, there must be too many things in it. ”
The Queen Mother took a sip of tea, and her tone didn't feel heavy.
The north wind outside the window was blowing, and it looked like it was going to snow.
"I don't know what the emperor thinks now."
Dong Rong also straightened up, thinking about this cold day, I don't know if Huaide has rushed over, how is his child? Is the cold wind on the grassland more exaggerated than in the Central Plains?
There are too many worries, which makes her heart very sad.
And the Empress Dowager's suggestion to go to see Concubine Bo at the beginning is now gone.
I'm afraid it's the Queen Mother, and she has any new ideas.
In line with the Queen Mother's worries, Murong Hao here was also thinking about Dongfang Qiu, but yesterday Concubine Bo said that Dongfang Qiu's escape had nothing to do with her.
He still doesn't believe it, if it weren't for her, who would still have so much power in the palace?
Can he leave with Dongfang Qiu under his eyes?
"Defoe!"
Murong Hao slapped the table violently and shouted for Defu to come in.
"Your Majesty, the minions are here."
Defu stood respectfully outside the door, as if he already knew what the emperor meant.
"Tell me the will! The whole country hunts down the Eastern Enemy! And the action must be concealed, and must not alarm the people! ”
Defu's face was embarrassed, and now Concubine Bo is in the cold palace, and the ministers in the court are in charge of their own affairs. There were those who respected the emperor before, there were those who respected Concubine Bo, and there were some other factions, but now they are all in chaos.
If this edict continues, everyone knows that Dongfang Qiu is let go, and there will definitely be a new mess!
But he didn't dare to thwart the emperor's intentions, so he just whispered, "Huh." ”
Looking at Defu's expression, the emperor was a little unhappy, "What, is there any difficulty?" ”
"Nope."
Defu knew that the emperor was in a bad mood today, and the affairs of the concubine and the affairs of the Dongfang feud were gathered together. His mind is very chaotic, and at the moment, it is for him to be quiet.
"Now that the plum blossoms in the palace have bloomed, why don't we go and have a look?"
Defu looked at the emperor with a painful heart, knowing that he was young, but he had to bear so much pressure. But the fate of many people is determined, and this was predetermined as early as when he was born.
Murong Hao didn't speak, just took a step and walked out.
The wind outside is a little colder, Defu prepared a cloak for the emperor, he is not tall, when he approves the emperor's clothes, he has to stand on tiptoe and be careful.
When he felt the sudden warmth on his back, Murong Hao's heart hurt inexplicably, he remembered the winter days in the past, and the person who gave him a cotton robe was his mother.
The world is unpredictable, he can't re-choose his origin in this life, if possible, he hopes that he is an ordinary child, happy every day, and most importantly, with his parents who love him.
They really don't need to be royal relatives.
After such a thought rose in his heart, Murong Hao's expression darkened, and it seemed that light snow began to fall in the sky. Defu began to worry about the emperor's body, would it make him feel unwell in the snow like this?
But when the two of them were dim, the cheerful voice in their ears seemed to be the most splendid scenery in this gloomy weather.
"It's really all open! It's so pretty! ”
The elf-like voice came from the little figure under the goose-yellow cotton robe, and she was jumping in the fine snow, like an innocent child who had never experienced pain.
"Dawn."
Reading her name silently in his heart, Murong Hao's pace did not feel accelerated. Her posture dancing in the wind was so graceful, as if all the troubles in his heart were washed away in an instant.
Is she the one sent by Heaven to save him?
"Is this flower pretty, or is this one pretty? Well, I still think the snowflakes in the sky look better. ”
Murong Chenxi, who did not have any sorrow at all, ran among the yellow flowers. It's as if she is the only one left in this heaven and earth. She is the happiest, and the scenery at the moment is also the most charming.
"Dawn!"
Until a warm voice suddenly came from behind her, disturbing her peace for a moment. However, this voice is also very magnetic.
"Your Majesty! Come on! ”
Murong Chenxi shouted loudly at the figure in the snow, he was wearing a gray robe, his steps were hurried, his face was soaked with anticipation, could it be that he was also a lover of flowers?
No matter what, it is a pleasure to have someone to enjoy the beautiful scenery together!
Chenxi beckoned to Murong Hao, pointed to the cluster of plums beside him, and said, "Do you know that these plums look yellow and tender, but they have gone through a lot of pain to be able to bloom so beautifully." They are brave flowers! ”
Dawn smiled, with a little respect, she looked at the flower, and the love in her heart was overflowing.
"The county lord is so right. They are brave flowers! ”
Defu deliberately put the emphasis on the word bravery, but his eyes drifted to the emperor, and the emperor's attention at the moment was all on the goose-yellow flowers in front of him and the goose-yellow figure.
How could she be so good? Under this white snow scene, it looks so fresh and refined.
I used to think she was beautiful, but I didn't expect that now she looks like a fairy, which makes people feel out of reach.
But I want to get closer.
"Your Majesty!"
Chenxi looked at Murong Hao looking at her dumbfounded, and was not sure if he was looking at the flowers behind him, so she reminded him.
"Yes!"
Murong Hao realized his rudeness, so he hurriedly replied, "Then let's go over there and take a look!" ”
Chenxi didn't mind that her space was disturbed, but politely pulled Murong Hao's sleeve and went to the depths of the plum blossoms.
I didn't see a pink figure outside, glaring at her viciously.
"What, you feel like the man you love has been snatched away?"
Linglong was watching Murong Chenxi pull her beloved Murong Hao and approach the depths of Lamei, thinking about how to keep up again, but heard someone behind her talking.
"Little Akiko. What do you mean? ”
As soon as she turned around and saw Xiao Qiuzi, who also had pain in her eyes, Linglong's worry turned into anger, but she didn't dare to say too much, so she could only pout.
But this mood seems to be even more charming.
"Linglong, you're so beautiful."
Xiao Qiuzi seems to have forgotten her business and is immersed in the beauty of Linglong's anger.
"Hey!"
What a hindrance! Linglong is unhappy, and she wants to catch up directly.
"If you really want to be with him, don't chase him now."
Xiao Qiuzi's voice was a little distressed.
"Then you have a solution!"
Linglong was impatient.
"I don't have it, but someone does. I'll take you to him. ”
As he spoke, he turned around and left.
Looking at the two people in front of him, they had disappeared into the depths of the plum blossoms, and the laughter of the two came through the trees. Linglong only felt that the resentment in her heart deepened, she turned around hatefully, and left with Xiao Qiuzi.
"The flowers here are the most densely blooming. You know why? Because their roots are thicker, they bloom in the cold season, so they must store enough nutrients to produce the most brilliant flowers. ”
Dawn is usually fine, but she likes to read some books with flowers and plants, and these things just come in handy.
She felt it, Murong Hao was not very happy today, although she couldn't guess what was going on, she always felt that it should be related to the black clothes. Maybe it's the escaped Dongfang Qiu, so he has no choice.
Chenxi didn't even notice that she didn't know when she started thinking about the emperor.
will pay attention to his state and analyze his reasons.
"Chenxi, why do you say that this plum blossom can bloom like this in such a cold season?"
Murong Hao looked at the flower fairy in front of him and felt that she seemed to be the proudest gift in that winter, giving him the most beautiful bloom.
"Because she's brave enough!"
Dawn smiled, leaned over, and asked about the indifferent fragrance of the plum.
"It's not very fragrant, but it's special enough."
Dawn positioned Lamei like this.
"Just like you."
Murong Hao whispered softly.
As the emperor, he has seen countless beauties, but he really rarely sees something as crystal clear as Chenxi and as pure as beauty.
Most importantly, her resolute personality makes him feel that he can gain strength.
She's like a plum blossom, oh, no, a plum blossom, it's not enough to reflect her beauty.
"What's up ahead?"
The two walked and walked, but in the depths of this Lamei, they saw a tall and dilapidated courtyard wall.
Above the courtyard wall, it was unexpectedly bare, and it didn't look like the splendor of this palace.
Why, is this the legendary cold palace?
