Chapter 292: You're Not West!
The Xie family finally found their long-lost heir, but this great news only made Mu Wangfu happy for one day, and the next day it fell into chaos.
For no other reason, the eighty-four-year-old lady suddenly fell ill!
After all, the old lady is old, and this illness is menacing, and she can't afford to get sick even though she has always been tough.
Although her condition is serious, her brain is still clear, and every day when Xi comes to visit the patient, she takes Xi's hand and laughs non-stop, overjoyed.
After another five days, King Mu's illness finally improved, but the old lady's illness became more and more serious.
Xi instructed everyone not to leak his affairs to King Mu, so as not to affect his condition.
Now Xi's words are quite weighty, since the fall of Lao Taijun and King Mu, at least half of the servants have regarded Xi as a serious master, and they have thrown Xie Wenji aside anyway.
On this day, King Mu called Xi to his side and asked solemnly: "Last time in the garden, I asked your name and surname." You said your name was Gongsun Hui, and you were as white as jade. Why did it become the west of the westward expedition again a month later? ”
Xi smiled helplessly: "I didn't expect you to know, I wanted to wait until you are better to talk about these old things, which is not good for your condition." ”
King Mu shook his head firmly, and his jaws seemed to be thrown out.
Xi smiled bitterly:
"I don't even know my name! I only remember when I was a child, I was a companion in a mansion. The little proprietor of that family is called Dongdong, and everyone calls me Xixi, the West of the West. As for the name Gongsun Hui, he picked it up later, in order to participate in the imperial examination. I got this good people's fish talisman. It just happened to be pronounced the same, but it was fair-skinned. ”
King Mu coughed a few times, and then asked, "Companion reading?" How long have you been doing it? Remember the other people in the house? ”
Xi sighed: "I also want to figure out these old things. But now is not the time. The prince was sick, and the old lady was also sick. For the sake of Mu Wangfu and Mu Zhou, please take care of your illness first, and then worry about these things. ”
King Mu shook his head violently, and suddenly grabbed Xi's arms, shook his arms vigorously and scolded:
"You liar! My West is long dead and buried in the back garden! He...... After his untimely death. I brought him back with my own hands, how could it be wrong?! Who are you? Who has deceived me? I don't have my only son, why don't you let me go! ”
Xi Muran looked at King Mu. He asked coldly, "Since Xi is your son, why don't you take him back to the palace to live?" But let him die alone outside? ”
King Mu choked up and took a few breaths, coughed for a while, and sighed, "Don't have children." I don't know how deep my parents are. You don't have children yet. How to know the mood of being a parent. Of course, I want to be by Nishi's side every day, but ...... Alas! ”
Speaking of this, King Mu sighed, and when his emotions calmed down a little, he stared at Xi and asked:
"Young man, what do you want from me? I appreciate your talent and knowledge. I just don't understand, why are you here?! Is there anything else in the world that you want but can't get? Alas. Young people, there are no shortcuts! The emperor dismissed your officials. It's really unwise, but career isn't the only way out?! ”
Xi smiled: "Since I'm not your Xi, why waste your lips and tongues?" Wouldn't it be nice to just lock me up? Or are you afraid that if you catch me, it will affect the old lady's body? Hmph, the old lady's illness is a great joy. Joy and sadness. She was old, and she was too excited to bear it. If you lock me up, she may be cured of her sickness in terror, as is written in the ancient books. ”
King Mu shook his head and said, "What if you get better?" At this age, I would rather her old man leave with a heart full of joy. Anyway, I can't turn her into a great-grandson, you came just in time, just let her go with peace of mind. ”
Xi frowned and looked at King Mu for a while, and suddenly sneered: "Aren't you afraid that I will kill you and inherit your throne?" ”
King Mu laughed, causing a cough, he gasped for a while, and said a little tiredly:
"Wen Ji has no talent, I originally wanted to recruit you to assist him, why not replace him? Anyway, my Xi has passed away, and the Xie family has no grandchildren, who is different from King Mu? It's a pity that you don't have the right mind! If he takes charge of Muzhou one day, he is only afraid that the people will be a curse and not a blessing! So I already have a backhand, and it's useless for you to kill me. ”
Xi nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly asked, "Isn't your Xi a son-in-law, and his mother is very lowly?" ”
King Mu's eyes flashed suddenly, he quickly glanced at Xi, and said with a wry smile: "Despicable?!" Haha, she has a noble status, and she is the most amazing woman from ancient times to the present! ”
Xi frowned and asked unrelentingly, "Do you love her?" ”
King Mu was shocked when he heard this, and suddenly burst into tears, and shook his head fiercely: "There are some people in this world who can't afford to love!" ”
"Why can't you afford to love? You are a prince, what other woman you can't love? Even if it's a princess, as long as you want to marry, it's not a difficult thing! ”
King Mu wiped away his tears, thought for a while, and sighed: "Lu Qing is very good, you have to cherish this fate!" ”
West roared angrily:
"Qing'er is okay, you don't have to work hard, you tell me! I just ask you, is there any woman in this world that you can't afford? Who the hell is she, a lowly person? Why do you want to abandon her? Is she still alive? You have made a big mistake, why don't you regret it until now, but here you are arguing and making up nonsense! ”
King Mu looked at Shangxi's angry eyes for a long time before closing his eyes, tears rolled down to the pillow, and only after a long time did he let out a sigh and said:
"This is not an outsider! The day I met with Xi in Huangquan, and then told him carefully. ”
After saying that, King Mu suddenly opened his eyes, stared straight at Xi and said, "I have never regretted it in my life, and I have a clear conscience!" ”
Xi looked at King Mu blankly for a while, and said coldly: "If you still have a heart!" ”
Throwing down this sentence, Xi strode away without looking back.
King Mu looked at his departing back infatuately, and two lines of tears rolled down again.
When he was young, he wiped away his tears, sorted out his emotions, stroked his forehead with his hand, and said to himself: "It's too similar......"
King Mu suddenly lightly buckled the bed twice. The figure flickered, and a man dressed as a servant knelt in front of King Mu and asked, "What does the prince command?" ”
King Mu commanded in a low voice:
"Do two things. One is to check Gongsun Hui to see what marks he has on his body, the finer the better. The second is to keep an eye on Wen Ji and report to me in time if there is any movement. If he wants to do something out of the ordinary, he doesn't need to report it to me if the situation is urgent, just stop it! ”
"Order!"
As soon as these words came out, there was no one in front of the bed. (To be continued......)
