Chapter 144: Provincial Relatives (1)
"Why are the mother's eyes red? Isn't something big going on? Yuyin looked at Emperor E's reddened eyes and asked suspiciously.
"It's just that I'm about to go back to save my relatives, and my heart is naturally happy, so I cry with joy."
Yuyin took a step forward, "I heard that Niangniang was going back to save her relatives, so the slave came to see if there was anything she could help with. ”
"I have a heart." Emperor E knew that she was gone, Liuzhu was pregnant again, she had the opportunity to get close to the emperor, she was afraid that she would bring her with her, so she came to curry favor.
Liuzhu touched her stomach disdainfully, "The slave maid was just passing by, and I came to ask the queen for peace." ”
Emperor E smiled faintly, "I heard that the prince is unwell, and Concubine Lin has also taken care of the prince for a few days, and she also has the relationship between mother and son, I don't know if Concubine Lin also went to see the prince this time?" ”
Liuzhu choked, and his eyes skimmed away, "The slave is worried about the queen's mother, and I will go to see the prince later." ”
Emperor E smiled, "The prince knows that Concubine Lin is so worried, so he will naturally get better faster." ”
She knew that Liuzhu came here because she had told the emperor that she would never abolish the prince, and wanted her to become a sin lamb and pave the way for her unborn child, which was really a good calculation.
But she is not as good as she wants, and as soon as the prince comes out, she will never lose her thoughts, and she will never come out.
It didn't take long for Liuzhu to leave in a hurry with a cold face, and Yuyin followed.
A month passed in a blink of an eye, and this huge formation really made Emperor E think that the former Tang Dynasty was still in front of him, about two streets long, Emperor E frowned, and the national strength was tight, so complicated.
It's good to say that half of the cropping was removed, and only elite generals were selected to accompany him, no wonder Li Yu looked embarrassed at that time, this time he should have spent a lot of financial resources from the treasury.
"Don't go, stay and take care of Huaiyu, Huaiyu is still young, I can't stand the bumps, I can only stay, I can rest assured that my mother stays." Emperor E looked at the lady lightly, since the secret conversation in the study, this is the first time that the two of them have spoken.
The lady raised her head in surprise, she must have not expected that Emperor E would dare to hand over the child to her, but she was right, she said it clearly, if the child said anything else, Concubine Ning went out of the palace to worship the Buddha, only Liuzhu was still a high position in the palace, and the two of them could not get out of the relationship.
"Queen Mother, why don't you hand over the second prince to Concubine Ning, Concubine Ning also likes children very much, so give it to her......"
"Don't bother the concubine, the palace is trustworthy, isn't it, the lady?" Emperor E interrupted Hairong's proposal and looked at the lady intently.
The lady turned red, as if she had made up her mind, "Yes, the slave will definitely take care of His Royal Highness the Second Prince desperately, don't worry." ”
Emperor E covered the gorgeous beaded curtain on the carriage, and with a shout of "Departure-", he felt the carriage move slowly.
Emperor E sat on the phoenix in the middle, while his girlfriend and Qin sat in the carriage behind, the journey was not far, but he had to cross a river, but in this way, he couldn't cross the river, so he had to take a long detour.
The wind moves with the carriages and horses, and the flowers and trees form shadows.
"Brother, why do you want to provoke a war in the surrounding area? Nantang clearly agreed to reconcile. The man in a white coat with a feather crown and a frown between his eyebrows looked at his brother standing opposite him, tall and thin.
"The Great Song Dynasty is now on the prairie fire, ready to go, and the Southern Tang Dynasty of Later Shu is all in the bag, there is no reconciliation, either surrender or fight." The man's tone was firm, and he was unwavering in his usual battlefield experience.
"But this is forcing the lives of the two countries to suffer." The gentle man frowned, and there was a faint anger in it.
"When did the second brother become so kind to a woman, most of the country was also fought down by you, casualties are inevitable, born in troubled times, who can live freely? The second brother Mo didn't stay in the Southern Tang Palace for a long time, so he lost his fighting spirit. ”
Zhao Yi paused, "Brother said everything from the bottom of his heart, along the way, the originally fertile Southern Tang Dynasty has become a poor livelihood, hungry people are everywhere, the poor are poorer, the rich are richer, human lives are like mustard, and even drink the flesh and blood of children for a living, eldest brother, you have also been there, the abundance there is distressing, but now why?" ”
"Hmph, I had the heart to be good with him before, and I called him to Beijing many times to discuss peace talks, but he refused, but now he wants to make friends, which is really in vain for the romantic name of the sixth master." Zhao Yin had a black face, indignant disdain.
"That's the queen, she's really not well." Zhao Yi suppressed his voice and explained.
"Queen? What the second brother said, but Emperor Zhou E back then, she really came back again, no wonder Li Yu was so sad, he was not afraid of the world's criticism, and came to a trick Zhang Guan Li Dai secretly Chen Cang, which is also the reason why the second brother has not returned. ”
"Since the eldest brother knows everything, he should also know that if there was no picture back then, you and I would have died in Lin Renzhao's trap, and there is no today."
"Then the second brother should also know that when I asked you to take care of her, you made you fall in love with her, not to let her fall in love with you, let alone let you let her ......"
Zhao Yin shouted angrily, reached out and grabbed Zhao Yi's clothes tightly, and pushed back.
Zhao Yi's body fell backwards, and he fell heavily behind the door frame without any sense of resistance, making a loud noise.
Zhao Yin stood under a shadow, his eyes exuding a strong coldness, "Second brother, what else do you have to say?" ”
"Brother Huang really thinks that Emperor Zhou E is willing to be a caged bird, waiting for you to accept it as a child?" Zhao Yi got up slowly, reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and smiled mockingly.
Although the two of them used honorifics, no one would admit defeat in their tones.
Zhao Yin paused, and his eyes gradually stiffened.
"The royal brother has been fighting the world since he started, and the person who will never forget her is her, she is indeed different, but the royal brother married the imperial sister-in-law, do you think that with her heart, she is willing to work together?"
Zhao Yi looked at Zhao Yin coldly, watching his face gradually turn blue, "Isn't Li Chongguang also a harem beauty?" ”
Zhao Yi sneered, "So she gave me the picture." ”
Zhao Yin's face was full of shock, the complicated expressions in his eyes flashed one by one, and finally slowly regained his composure, "It's okay, when I win the world, she is naturally willing to follow me." ”
Zhao Yi raised his head and laughed, the tears in his eyes just didn't fall, "What are you laughing at?" Zhao Yin asked.
"If my guess is correct, when she comes back, Li Chongguang will take her to visit the imperial brother, and the imperial brother will know when he sees her."
After that, Zhao Yi forgot the etiquette and turned around and walked out of the door.
Fingers caressed the cold tombstone, the bright red tattoos on it pierced her eyes, something made her face hot, like a child who had done wrong, how many days had passed before she mustered up the courage to stand in front of her mistakes.
Trembling, he didn't even have the courage to shout "Daddy" to the cold tombstone. ”
The guards and palace people were all standing far away, Nuying had already fainted from crying on the road, and now she was resting in the carriage, and the Qin family on the side was slowly moving over in plain clothes, her eyes were swollen like walnuts, her eyes were bloodshot, her old face was wrinkled, and her face was pretending to be firm.
"Yin Feng, Emperor E has come to see you." Yin Feng is Daddy's word, and since Daddy married Aunt Xin, the Qin family has never called Daddy's name again.
Surrounded by a huge open space, row upon row of tombstones from all sides, it is the cemetery of the Zhou family, specially rewarded by the first emperor, Zhou Zong's tombstone is planted around his favorite 10,000-year-old pine.
Qin's hand trembled and touched the tombstone, as if looking at a person who had not seen him for many years but could not see, "Your favorite Emperor E has come to see you, have you seen it?" Here she comes. ”
The heat in Emperor E's eyes was only a second away from erupting, but he still bit his lip and held back tightly.
Listening to Qin's continued, "She has become the queen, don't worry, the emperor treats her well, and she has a son, and the child is ......very well-behaved."
"Mother......" Emperor E called softly, Qin's hand paused, his eyes looked at her in confusion, like a stranger, he didn't say any more, and slowly came back to his senses, "It's you, you're back, it's the big girl who is back, Yinfeng." ”
Qin's eyes gradually became conscious again, and he said in his mouth, "Don't blame your father, your father is also forced to come, he wants to wait for you to come back, but he can't find you, the first emperor won't let him look for you, he went to the first emperor to quarrel, quarrel, quarrel, the first emperor got angry, he said he didn't agree, so he sent someone to find you and kill you." ”
Emperor E raised his head suddenly, and looked at Qin's eyes in amazement, "Your father agreed, and I always felt sorry for you, but the people who sent it out didn't come back, and they all knew that they must have been stopped by the first emperor, until the emperor set up an imperial concubine." ”
Qin's family was full of painful memories, as if thinking about something sad, Emperor E called her with red eyes, over and over again, it was not right, Qin's originally white hair was torn even more messy, and he looked at the tombstone in a blink of an eye.
"He said that Emperor E is back, I still don't believe it, if Emperor E comes back, why don't you go home? He said that Emperor E did not forgive us, he said that Emperor E should have been the queen, but he became a concubine, his face was ruined, his life was about to change, and the country was not a country, it was all his sin, he stayed in the 'Bodhi Garden' for one night, and the next day he was ......."
Qin Shi seemed to think of something terrible, and tried to hold Emperor E's hand, "He left, he said that you are blaming him, if you don't forgive him, he will ......"
"Mother...... Don't talk about it. Emperor E gently patted Qin's back, endured the huge waves in his heart, and choked up.
"Why did you come back, what did you do when you came back, didn't you hurt us badly enough, why did you come back?" The Qin family was almost out of breath when he cried, and Emperor E's heart twitched even tighter, and he kowtowed fiercely in the face of Zhou Zong's tombstone.
"Daddy......" was bruised out of blood on his head, and tears slid down the ground, seeping into the dirt along the Manman grass.
It wasn't until Hairong couldn't stand it from a distance that he rushed over to stop it.
Emperor E insisted on refusing the royal palace arranged by local officials, and the place where she settled was the old mansion of the Zhou family, and she also played the piano and wrote the lyrics under the red eaves and green, danced and tasted tea, read history and listened to the rain.
The raindrops falling under the eaves are like beads with broken threads, falling in unison, with no end, "Don't be too sad, Mrs. and Second Miss have already rested, so let's go and rest." Hairong stepped forward and said.
Listening to the shouting of hawkers outside, Emperor E said, "Go and see what is being sold outside?" ”
Hai Rong answered and beckoned a disguised eunuch who followed him to check it out.
After a while, the little eunuch ran back, wet with half of his clothes wet by the light rain, "Hui Niangniang, she sells lychees." ”
Hai Rong looked at Emperor E's expression and beckoned to the little eunuch, "Go and call him in." ”
"Yes."
After a while, a man dressed in a cloak and carrying a hat stood in front of him, his head bowed and he couldn't see clearly, next to him two baskets of bright red lychees and a flat pole.
