178. Chapter 55
Xiao Feng looked at her unintentionally sweet expression, and finally let go of the big stone in his heart, his son was naturally more fortunate than him, to have such a woman who was really willing to go to the soup for him.
In the twilight, he slowly closed his eyes. In that splendid peach blossom forest, under the red flower branches, whose graceful figure passed by slowly.
I'm sorry, Ruohua, he was still selfish once, he wouldn't tell Du Bocheng the truth back then, he wouldn't tell Du Bocheng that she only had Du Bocheng in her heart from beginning to end, and her love never changed.
Outside the window, there was a white snow fluttering at some point, Du Yunjin looked at the middle-aged man who was leaning on the side of the bed, with a satisfied smile on the corner of his mouth, and finally reached out and gently stroked his eyes that were trying to look into the distance.
Heavy bells rang out again and again in the silent palace, heralding the end of an era.
The winter of the previous year had not yet disappeared, and in the continuous heavy snowfall, Xiao Yu finally climbed to the high position he had been looking forward to for a long time surrounded by the ministers. The twenty-eighth year of the beginning of the Jing Dynasty was just at the beginning, and it was replaced by the first year of Changping of the new emperor, just like the snow that melted into flowing water under the sun, and it seemed that the newly married bride of someone's family had disappeared in a blink of an eye.
The battle in the court was not calm because of Xiao Yu's accession to the throne, but because of the undecided throne, it seemed turbulent.
"It's strange to say, when she was still the crown prince, she had already married General Du's daughter as the crown princess, why didn't she canonize her as the queen for a long time when she ascended the throne?"
In the teahouse, a man with a broken mouth came to a group of people and discussed it wantonly. The crown prince ascended the throne as the emperor, and the crown princess should be the queen, this is the theorem of the world, but I didn't expect that it was not at all here in the new emperor.
"You know what! Today's sweetheart is Liang Xiang's pearl, Liang Liangdi. It's a pity that he couldn't marry as a concubine due to the obstruction of the former King Qing, but later he snatched back his beloved woman from King Qing with a little power. Today, I am afraid that I want to keep the back position for this Liang Liangdi. ”
"That's right, I already have a wife today, even if I want to fly with Liang Liangdi, I have to hinder his wife, otherwise I won't teach the world to see the cold heart. But in this way, Jinshang's heart is not happy, so he simply leaves the back seat empty. ”
Another person chimed in, and the more he talked, the more he felt that he had completely guessed the emperor's thoughts, and thus became more and more proud. The others also chimed in at the right time, they were not interested in those bloody palace secrets, they were interested in these peachy rumors about the emperor.
They were talking with great interest, but someone at the table next to them was holding a teacup tightly, his face gloomy and glaring angrily.
"And that's not all!" The rat-headed man came out of the middle and said vividly: "Do you remember the King Yu who died suddenly more than five years ago? ”
For the Yu King who was obsessed with medical skills, most of the people in the imperial capital still remembered. That prince was not only handsome, but also more like a fairy, and he would often send the people of Yuwang's Mansion to go out with the prepared pills to distribute. There have been many people who have taken his pills and survived their illness.
"Lord Yu did not die violently, but was given death." As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped and hurriedly asked.
"Alas, it's a scandal to say. The crown princess had an affair with Prince Yu, and was caught and raped in bed by Jinshang. In order to save the royal face, Prince Yu was given death. ”
"Ahh There is such a thing! Someone was indignant: "Then why should Prince Yu be given death, but the woman who worked down is alive and well." A person like Prince Yu, where would he look down on a rough girl who grew up in the frontier, it must have been the woman who seduced and framed Prince Yu. It's a pity that Prince Yu ...... at a young age"
All of them had more or less received Xiao Shaokang's favor, and when they heard about such a scandal in the palace at this moment, they didn't want to retreat all the responsibility to Du Yunjin alone.
"No wonder she is a wife, and she refuses to make her his queen. If such a woman really becomes our queen mother, we will have no face to live! ”
"Why do you think you don't dare to touch that woman today, it's just because she relies on her general father. General Du has a heavy army in his hands, so he naturally does not dare to exonerate himself, knowing that he has been cuckolded, he can only endure it alive. ”
"I can't imagine that I'm so pitiful today, alas, ......"
sighed one after another, sighing for Xiao Shaokang's early death, and sighing for Xiao Yu's forbearance, but they all despised and hated Du Yunjin.
"How can they say that, girl!" The teacup in Qing Ruofeng's hand almost smashed into the person who had just spoken, but it was tightly held down by a slightly old hand. The man shook his head lightly at him, got up and left without saying anything, Qing Ruofeng looked at his back as he stepped out of the store, and no matter how much resentment he had in his heart, he just put down the tea cup in his hand.
"Ouch, who's that! So horizontal! ”
The people who were shocked by the loud noise stopped the heated discussion, and some people looked at Qing Ruofeng's departing back suspiciously, and muttered in a low voice: "No matter how you look at that person, he looks a bit like Mr. Qing who came to the imperial capital a few years ago!" ”
"Mr. Qing?"
"It's Qing Ruofeng, the first strategist next to General Du, he went to the imperial capital more than five years ago, because he was born and good-looking, which attracted many women in the imperial capital to chase after him! My mother-in-law's little sister has also been looking at it with a blank eye, so I remember this person. ”
"I heard that General Du rushed back to the imperial capital to participate in the enthronement ceremony today, and Mr. Qing appeared here at this time, so ......"
He didn't say anything behind, everyone else understood, and they all looked in the direction where Qing Ruofeng left, and sure enough, they saw a sturdy middle-aged man walking in front of Qing Ruofeng, facing the wind and rain, like a tall pine, always straight to the back.
No one saw that the general with outstanding military achievements also stumbled a little.
"General...... "Qing Ruofeng moved his mouth, but he didn't know how to continue his words." Ruofeng did not mean to hide it. "Dragged by Du Yunjin, he has concealed those things five years ago from Du Bo very well over the years. If he hadn't returned to Beijing this time, if he hadn't happened to drink a pot of tea in the teahouse to quench his thirst this time, he would still have hidden it well.
But...... His handsome face changed slightly, the things of the year were sealed by the ban issued by the first emperor, and even the people in the palace now know very little, why is it even circulating in the market now, and it is so unbearable.
"General, this matter ......"
Du Bocheng suddenly stopped, looked into the distance with desolate eyes, and waved his hand at Qing Ruofeng. "You don't have to say it, I know it all. I couldn't have imagined that he would take revenge on me like this. The latter sentence was so quiet that even Qing Ruofeng, who was standing beside him, couldn't hear it clearly.
Qing Ruofeng followed his gaze, and what he was looking at was the imperial city that was in the snow. The heavy snow had stopped the day before they arrived, the sun hung brightly in the middle of the sky, and the golden roofs of the Imperial City re-emerged from the snow, proudly showing their demeanor.
