Chapter 596: Thorns

The rain rustled, poured on the leaves and roofs of the garden, and then converged into streams, 'tick-tock' and sliding. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He was full of murderous intent, and that gaze made people dare not look directly.

Yao Shi's cheeks trembled, and he whispered:

"Mother's funeral."

Yan Chai pursed his lips, the rain fell on his hair and cheeks, the corners of his mouth were pursed, and his expression was a little cold.

He had just come out of the house and experienced that his beloved wife had given birth to his eldest son, when he heard Yao Shi say that his mother had gone.

In this great joy and sorrow, even if he was calm, he couldn't help clenching his fists at this time.

Tonight's rain was especially cold, and after soaking into the cloak, it quickly drove away the temperature of his body.

When he went to pick up Fu Minghua, Cui Guifei was fine, such a person, how could he say that he was gone?

Yao Shi didn't say anything, knowing that he needed some time to digest the news.

He was so smart that he guessed some clues at once, but at this moment, Yan Chai would rather be more stupid and didn't see the firmness in Yao Shi's eyes.

"You've been with me for more than ten years." Yan chased two steps and asked in a somewhat calm tone.

Yao Shi lowered his head, Yan chased ahead, he smiled and replied respectfully:

"Fourteen years."

Yan Chai is twenty-one this year, and Yao Shi was when he was young, Cui Guifei repaired a book through the people of the Cui family in Qinghe and invited him to Luoyang.

Of course, he doesn't like glory and wealth, he doesn't love women and power, and he has been alone for many years, free and easy.

At that time, Taizu couldn't invite him to join the court as an official several times, and the later Cui family naturally didn't invite him so easily.

The reason why he was willing to receive a letter from the Cui family back then, so he went to Luoyang to see Yan Chai, and stayed in Luoyang at first sight, and followed Yan Chai's side, not for gold and silver vulgar things, wealth and status, but because he wanted to assist the monarch and do something big.

Yao Shi has his own retribution and pride.

When Taizu fought the world back then, the fierce generals around him were like clouds, and he killed the world clan too quickly to attack and make quick profits.

Although Emperor Jia'an had a gully in his chest, when he ascended the throne, there were too many hidden dangers in the Tang Dynasty, and Yao Shi saw that Emperor Jia'an's reign was at most to straighten out the crisis in the Tang Dynasty and clean up the mess left by Taizu back then.

Only by the time of Yan Chasing, the basic hidden dangers of the Tang Dynasty have been eliminated, and Emperor Jia'an put it in his hands, which is a country waiting to be revived, and there is a lot to be done.

It is not so much that he stepped into this red world for a letter from the Cui family back then, but that he entered the whirlpool of power in Luoyang for the ideals in his heart.

He remembered the scene back then, and he remembered the Yan Chai he saw at first sight.

"How many fourteen years are there in life?"

Yan asked, Yao Shi also nodded, and responded:

"yes, how many fourteen years are there in life?"

When he entered Luoyang, Yan Chai was still young, but he was only taken by the great Confucian Meng Xiaochun for a few years, and at a young age, he had already revealed his edge.

Emperor Jia'an put a lot of effort into this son, and Yao Shi thought it was interesting when he saw him.

At that time, Yao Shi was less than forty, and now Yan Chai is in his prime, but he is already dying.

"You've been with me for so many years, you should know my character."

After Yan Chai said this, he turned his head sideways, his eyelids drooping, covering the look in his eyes.

His face was pale, and his eyelashes were stained with some moisture, I don't know if it was the rain that fell or the mist that steamed up in his eyes turned into droplets:

"I don't like it when people do it on their own."

When Yao Shi heard this, he laughed softly.

The next moment, Yan Chai blinked, and there was a fierce look in his phoenix eyes.

"Lord Wang, the minister is indeed guilty, and he did not report the whereabouts of the princess to you when he entered the city."

As a result, when Yan Chai met Cui Guifei, the news was learned from Cui Guifei, and then Cui Guifei made a choice.

In other words, Cui Guifei's death, even if he did not contribute to it, has something to do with the decisions he made subconsciously.

"You're bold!"

Yan Chai gritted his teeth and said in a dark voice:

"You're making your own decisions."

Cui Guifei and Fu Minghua, he doesn't want anything to happen, one is his mother and the other is his wife.

But Yao Shi is subconsciously making decisions for him!

If he had entered the palace to see Cui Guifei earlier, Cui Guifei's decision was to protect herself, and not mention Fu Minghua's name at all, Yan Chai didn't dare to imagine what she would be like when she saw Fu Minghua again.

He couldn't help but think that when he rushed to Zhuangzi at the foot of Longmen Mountain earlier, if he had been delayed for a while, could it be that the dagger held in Yinshu's hand had already stabbed into her body.

What will he do then? Losing his wife and children, estrangement from his mother, and no longer being close in this life, a lifetime of pain?

As soon as Yan Chai thought of such a result, his eyes were faintly red, and he gritted his teeth, as if he wanted to devour Yao Shisheng alive.

But his mother did not do that, but informed him of his wife's whereabouts, but chose to go the other way, and this kind of love, he could not repay for the rest of his life.

At this time, his wife was safe, his son had just been born, and even Yao Shi rushed to tell him that Cui Guifei died with the rites of the queen, that is to say, the people who came to the palace at this time to pass the decree were very likely to pass on the will that he had been crowned the prince.

But at this moment, Yan Chai pursed his lips tightly, and his whole body was cold.

He had fought so hard and looked forward to something for many years, which would one day be at his fingertips, but at this time, it was really difficult for him to raise the corners of his mouth, and he didn't have the slightest joy of victory.

"What do you want me to do?"

Yao Shi looked at him like a wolf, his fierce face was revealed, and he sighed:

"What do you want me to do?"

Yan Chai is in a dilemma, and it is difficult to choose, but he is not like this.

Emperor Jia'an's thoughts, at this moment, Yao Shi can see clearly, why doesn't Yan Chai understand?

"If I tell you that the princess is in trouble, what will you do at this moment?"

Yao Shi's voice was not loud, but Yan Chai was speechless when he asked.

What will he do? Focus on big things, or focus on children's personal feelings?

After the matter is completed, will he choose to rush to Huguo Temple to save his wife and children, or enter the palace to protect Cui Guifei?

Yan Chai's expression became even more gloomy, and Yao Shi looked at him calmly:

"Lord Wang, you should understand that Niangniang's intention is to do this, don't let Niangniang go, and you won't be at ease underground."

She was afraid that she had already expected such a day, so she had already made a decision in her heart.

"At this time, the emperor will definitely issue an order to posthumously crown her as the queen, you are the son-in-law, and you are the heir to the throne."

Emperor Jia'an arranged it step by step, and the emperor's mind was unfathomable.

But his love for his son, Yao Shi can feel it.

The emperor is old, and after the palace change, the number of years of life is unknown.

But Yan Chai eradicated the Rong family and made a great contribution, taking a step back and saying, if Cui Guifei is greedy for life and does not seek death, Yao Shi informed Yan Chai of Fu Minghua's whereabouts, and his wife and children were all safe at this time, and his mother was still there.
