Half a day later, the news of Situ Bi's death in Ningzhou spread to Tianmen Guanmu Mansion.

When Situ Mu heard the news, he did not show much sadness in front of others. It's just that he locked himself in his room all day and kept the door closed. Although he had long known that Situ Bi's trip to Ningzhou was auspicious, when the news came today, Situ Mu was still greatly hit. For so many years, Situ Bi has not fulfilled his responsibilities as a father to him, and he is even afraid to guard against him as a son-in-law. But deep in his memory, in the years when they were still father and son, not monarchs, Situ Mu also felt the love from his father.

"Your Highness has been closed all the time, and I haven't drunk a sip of water all day, but how is it good?" Mu Xian said anxiously. Ever since Situ Mu locked himself in his room, he and several generals have been waiting in the courtyard.

Because Mrs. Mu was worried about Situ Mu's body, she boiled soft and glutinous japonica rice porridge with her own hands and sent two delicious appetizing side dishes. She went back and forth several times, and the food she brought changed and changed, until it was dark, and she could not get in.

Seeing this, Han Xi took the tray in her hand and said, "Aunt Fang, General Mu, let's go." Don't worry, I will let His Highness take care of his body. ”

Madame Mu knew that her young master was very important in the heart of King Ziqing, so she nodded and said nothing more. Han Xi held the tray and buckled the door of Situ Mu's room. After half a ring, Situ Mu's dull voice came from inside the house: "Who?" ”

"Your Highness, it's me, can I go in?" The voice of the cold tide is always clear, with a soul-penetrating transparency. Whenever. It's always relaxing.

"Cold Tide ......" Situ Mu was silent for a moment before he said, "Please come in." ”

Hanxi gave Mrs. Mu a look, and Mrs. Mu immediately understood, turned around and beckoned Mu Xianxing and the others to leave. Hanxi pushed the door in, placed the tray on the table, and fumbled to light the candle. Situ Mu sat on the couch in one position and did not speak to her. Hanxi was not in a hurry, but slowly held the candle and lit the lamps in the house one by one. The originally dark room slowly lit up. Brightly lit. Situ Mu has been in the dark for a long time. I couldn't get used to the sudden brightness for a while, and I couldn't help frowning.

Han Xi sat on the edge of the round table by himself, took out the porridge that was originally placed on the tray and set it up like a side dish, and then turned his head to look at Situ Mu. said: "Your Highness." This is something that Madame Mu did for you purpose. I smell delicious, so you can eat some. ”

"Hanxi," Situ Mu's voice was a little hoarse. "I'm not hungry, I can't eat. If you want to stay here, just sit down for a while, but I don't really want to talk. ”

Han Xi shrugged indifferently: "Okay, Your Highness doesn't need to talk to me. It's just that I'm very bored by myself, and Tang Buxi has always been busy these days, so I want to find someone to say a few more words. Since His Highness doesn't speak, it's good that I'm here to talk about it. If Your Highness wants to hear it, just listen to a few words; If I don't want to hear it, I'll just relieve myself of my fatigue. ”

Situ Mu didn't expect Hanxi to answer him like this. Since she came in, a word of comfort and condolences did not mention Situ Mu, but it made Situ Mu much easier. In this case, Situ Mu had no choice but to reply: "Okay, you just say, I'll listen." ”

Han Xi poured himself a cup of tea and said slowly: "Your Highness should know, I have never met my father. When I was still in my mother's womb, my father was killed by Situ Xi's traitor. He died a tragic death, in order to protect the people of the clan and retain the bloodline of my Nangong clan, he sacrificed his body and spirit. In the end, not even a trace of this world remained. Before, I didn't know what happened to him. Now that I know, I want to mourn him, but I don't even have a sustenance to mourn......"

Situ Mu was silent. He had heard Tang Buxi talk about Hanxi's life experience, and he also knew that Situ Xi had washed the Nangong clan with blood. However, Tang Bujing did not go into detail about the details. Now that I heard Hanxi mention it, I realized that the matter was so tragic. I heard that Han Xi had seen that period of the past through the secret method of the Nangong clan. Come to think of it, the fact that her father died in battle and the body did not exist was an untouchable scar for her.

I only heard Han Xi continue: "I just saw my father's appearance from my mother's memory. However, my father has never seen me, and we have never been on the same plane. My father's smile and doting were never for me. I am not as lucky as my sister, I can grow up by my father's side until I am two or three years old, and I have been loved, hugged and cared for by him. Until that time, I was put in a water prison by the crown princess. By chance, I found half a volume of national mountains and rivers there. And in the painting, it contains the spiritual power left by his father. When I opened the scroll, an apparition of my father emerged. He smiled at me, his smile was full of love and pride, as if to say to me, 'My daughter, you are doing a great job'. Although it was only a brief moment, it made me feel my father's love for me very clearly. I realized that my eyebrows and eyes were so similar to him! My name was chosen for me by him. I think before I was born, he used to have this name on his lips a lot. My life is a continuation of his bloodline. Even if he hasn't had time to see me yet, he is always there for me, protecting me and guiding me, and thinking about it makes me feel very happy. ”

After Hanxi finished speaking, he stopped talking. Situ Mu didn't say anything, and the room fell silent again. After a long while, I heard Situ Mu speak: "When I was young, my father also loved me. At that time, he was not the emperor, and I was not the crown prince, and we lived in the palace, not in the palace. ”

"Before me, there were three imperial sisters, I was my father's first son, and I was my son-in-law, so I was very popular with him at that time." Situ Mu recalled, a smile inadvertently dyed on his lips, "Although I was very young at the time, I also vaguely remember that every day when my father returned to the mansion after the court, the first thing he did was to hug me and play. Later, my father got acquainted with Situ Xi, and the two began to plan a great cause, so he spent a lot less time with me. However, when my father had just ascended the throne, no matter how busy the government affairs were, he always had to find time to visit me every day. He would remember my favorite snacks and dishes and prepare them to my tastes every time. ”

Hanxi listened quietly to Situ Mu's words, and was unconsciously infected by his memories. Situ Bi in Hanxi's impression has always been gloomy, sick, and power-hungry, if it weren't for Situ Mu to say, she really couldn't imagine that he was also a loving father.

"Although our father and son are fighting against each other, I still can't forget those happy times when I was young." Situ Mu said, unconsciously shedding a tear, "Actually, I don't really want to replace my father. I just want him to be himself again, no longer controlled by the power of nothingness. However, he did not wait for me to return...... I was his only son, and I wasn't with him when he was gone......"

"But Your Highness, now is not the time to remember and be sad." Han Xi calmly analyzed, "Your Majesty has died, and His Royal Highness's current identity is quite embarrassing, King Yongning is still a baby, and he has no maternal support, and his strength is weak. Overall, the little emperor and grandson are the best candidates to inherit the throne. The country cannot be left without an owner for a day, Situ Xi should soon support the emperor's grandson to ascend the throne, and the ministers will not have doubts. The top priority is that we must act immediately, fight with Situ Xi, and end the stalemate as soon as possible! ”

Situ Mu nodded: "What you said is right, I won't let Yan'er follow in the footsteps of my father!" As he spoke, his expression gradually became resolute, "Tomorrow, I will gather people and horses to plan an attack on Ningzhou." Within a month, a decision must be made! ”

Han Xi smiled and watched Situ Mu regain his strength: "If Your Highness wants to achieve great things, you have to eat something to have strength." ”

Situ Mu left Xiaoluo, came to Han Xi and sat down, picked up the white porcelain bowl and began to drink porridge. After drinking a bowl of porridge, he raised his head and smiled at Hanxi: "I haven't had time to tell you, Hanxi, it's good that you're back!" (To be continued.) )
