Chapter 435: No Worries
Whether Emperor Ming is in the Gu or not, at least he lives for one day, and that is the Ninety-Five Emperor of the Great Zhou.
Therefore, since he spoke, even Empress Xue could not disobey, and this so-called family banquet ended in a hurry before it completely began.
And Xiao Jinxuan sprinkled a bowl of hot soup on her body, which means that the Luo skirt in autumn is thicker, otherwise if it is the soft cloud gauze dress in summer, she will have to be scalded out of the blisters.
But even if it was indeed not so badly injured, Xiao Jinxuan, who was still in pain, saw cold sweat on her forehead.
Because most of the soup was spilled on his legs, seeing that Xiao Jinxuan couldn't walk on her own for a while, Zhou Xianrui couldn't care about the other party's protests, and what men and women were on guard.
When he directly hugged Xiao Jinxuan in his arms, and hurried past Zhou Xianyu's side in a grand manner, he hurried to the imperial medical office anxiously.
And just when Zhou Xianyu was still uncontrollable, he couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction where Xiao Jinxuan left.
Emperor Ming, who suddenly approached him, not only stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder, but also said in a low voice:
"Let's go, Yu'er, my father has something to say to you clearly, as for your fifth brother and Jinxuan's affairs, you shouldn't be too concerned."
After all, he is his biological father, even because of the tragic death of his biological mother who fell into the city, Zhou Xianyu has always had a relatively cold and distant relationship with Emperor Ming.
But even if he never said it in his mouth, Zhou Xianyu still has love and respect for this hard-working father.
So he didn't say anything, Zhou Xianyu just nodded, and then went out of Fengxiang Palace with Emperor Ming, and after coming to a secluded pavilion in the imperial garden, the father and son sat down relatively in the court.
Staring at Zhou Xianyu's face that resembled Concubine Rou, Emperor Ming's eyes flashed with a trace of longing for his beloved, and then after he was silent for a while, he immediately spoke:
"Yu'er, since you have not returned from the dead. After returning to the Beijing military camp. My father has announced that you have entered the palace four times, why are you so stubborn as a child. Knowing the son Mo Ruo's father, I actually know that you will go to the banquet today because I can see Jinxuan, right? ”
Seeing that Zhou Xianyu did not refute, but silently acquiesced, and his expression was silent as never before, Emperor Ming immediately smiled and said:
"You kid has been naughty and messing around since Yingyue left. However, my father thinks that you are really grown up now, and you are obviously depressed at the family banquet today, but you know that you have not clashed with your fifth brother taking care of the overall situation. If your father is not there in the future, you must remember that brothers must help each other, and no fratricidal things will happen. ”
is because he cares about that brotherhood, otherwise Zhou Xianyu's decisive character that has already been cultivated on the battlefield, where would Zhou Xianrui be allowed to live until now.
But hearing Emperor Ming's words, Zhou Xianyu, who didn't know that the other party was about to reach the limit, actually noticed a trace of abnormality.
However, the people who fought on the battlefield were already open-minded, unlike those who seized power in the court, and were good at paying attention to any clues.
So even if Emperor Ming's tone was a little wrong, Zhou Xianyu still didn't ask more, but after looking up at Emperor Ming, he couldn't help but laugh and said:
"Old man, it turns out that you called me here because you were afraid that I would hurt the fifth brother's life and destroy the relationship between him and Jinxuan, right? I admit that I, Zhou Xianyu, can't let go of Jinxuan, but I won't be despicable enough to persecute their lives. I've promised you that you should be able to go. ”
The relationship with Emperor Ming, Zhou Xianyu was separated by a layer of heart knots that were not untied.
And now I can see that Emperor Ming, who is his biological father, actually warned him not to kill each other, which is actually a kind of distrust and deep doubt about him in Zhou Xianyu's view.
was already emotionally frustrated, which would even warn him so blindly from his biological father.
It's as if he Zhou Xianyu is some kind of murderous maniac, a madman who has no humanity to slash his relatives.
Therefore, even if Emperor Ming still wanted to say something, Zhou Xianyu lost the patience to listen, and he stood up immediately, and left with a physical and mental injury.
Seeing this scene, Deng Chang immediately wanted to hurry to chase the person back, but Emperor Ming grabbed him, shook his head and sighed lightly:
"Don't chase after Yu'er and leave, this kid has always been trustworthy in his words, since he has promised me that he will not harm Rui'er's life, then I can be relieved now. Before he died, he was able to talk to Xianyu and ask him a few words. And help Xianrui get a promise from Yu'er, and I can be regarded as worry-free. ”
Deng Chang has served Emperor Ming for decades, and they don't see each other as masters and slaves, but the relationship is no worse than that of an old friend.
Therefore, I heard Emperor Ming's words that he was happy to wait for death and was about to die. Deng Chang's tears immediately fell, and he knelt on the ground and said:
"Master, don't say such unlucky things, the slave still wants to serve you for decades. What's more, the current political situation is unstable, and the previous dynasty is inseparable from you. For the sake of the Great Zhou, you also have to take care of the dragon's body, this is the blessing of the people of Limin. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Deng Chang couldn't help wiping his tears, then glanced at Emperor Ming, and said with incomprehension:
"Your Majesty, forgive the old slave for saying more. Why didn't you just explain to the royal prince that the marriage between King Rui and the county lord of Zhaoyang was also forced by the situation and had to be done. In this way, the misunderstanding between the two brothers will be eliminated, and the two can work together to balance the Xue family. ”
Because of the effect of the refreshment needle, this will gradually weaken a little, and Emperor Ming will gradually weaken even the tone of his speech.
But he was still in a state of soberness, and after shaking his head with a wry smile, he said slowly:
"Deng Chang, do you think I want to see Yu'er suffer so much. But now that Xianrui and Jinxuan have been married for more than two months, the wood has become a boat, if I tell Yu'er, Jinxuan's wedding is just to stabilize Xianrui's status. With this child's temperament, he will inevitably drag Xiao Jinxuan back to his side regardless of it. ”
Slowly standing up from the stone chair, Emperor Ming was supported by Deng Chang and walked towards his dormitory, while continuing to cough lightly:
"Since Jinxuan is already married to Xianrui, she is Yu'er's nominal brother and sister-in-law. How could I bear to watch this child fall in love too deeply, and finally end up with an infamy of competing with my brother for a woman. That I am under the Nine Springs, and I have no face to see the moon again. Since Jinxuan, this child, can protect the emperor in order to be safe, and not tell the truth. Then how could I destroy her hard work and harm Yu'er with my own hands. ”
Xiao Jinxuan didn't tell the truth about the wedding, it was because of the shackles of abandoning love and love, forcing her to force Zhou Xianyu away from her.
As for Zhou Xianrui, it was completely because he was monitored too closely by the Prime Minister's government, so he didn't have a chance to explain it to Zhou Xianyu in private, and he couldn't even pass on a secret letter.
And now, another Emperor Ming, who knows the truth about the wedding, out of a father's instinctive protection of the child, does not want Zhou Xianyu to know the truth, and does something stupid that harms his reputation, so in the end, he chose to hide the matter.
As the saying goes, providence makes people, and mistakes may refer to the situation that Zhou Xianyu is facing now.
Obviously, the people he knows are the people he is closest to and familiar with, but for various reasons, he, the client, has been kept in the dark now.
Compared with Emperor Ming's side, he knew that his fate would not be long, but he was able to meet his beloved son, and because of this, he felt that he had no regrets.
Now that everyone is leaving, in the Fengxiang Palace, Empress Xue is sitting on the phoenix chair with an extremely gloomy expression.
And Zhou Xiantai and Bai Liu, who were sitting on the side and did not leave, also because the atmosphere in the hall was too oppressive, and no one spoke.
It wasn't until after a stick of incense that Zuo Wen pushed open the hall and walked in, and immediately Empress Xue couldn't help but sit up straight from the phoenix chair, and hurriedly asked with anxiety:
"What's going on, what did the emperor and Zhou Xianyu say, our people can find out."
Hearing this, Zuo Wen couldn't help but lower her head, and then said with a hint of helplessness:
"The queen mother, the slave and maid are incompetent, and they haven't heard what the emperor and the king are talking about. It's all because Zhou Xianyu's six senses are too keen, as long as our people get a little closer, they will be noticed by the other party. The slaves and maids were self-defeating, so they had to withdraw all their men. ”
Although it was difficult to hide her disappointment, Empress Xue still signaled that Zuo Wen did not have to blame herself too much.
After all, Zhou Xianyu's skills are there, and it is indeed not that anyone can get close to him, frowning and laughing, Xue Hou suddenly said with a fierce look in his eyes:
"You also saw Tai'er at today's family banquet, even though Zhou Xianyu had a hatred of taking his wife, but he still cared about a brotherhood for Zhou Xianrui. Now that your father doesn't know what to say to the other party in private, we can't wait any longer just in case something happens. If the queen mother wants you to leave the palace and mobilize the soldiers and horses into Beijing. And tonight, the queen mother will send your father and emperor on the road, and completely wash the Rui Wangfu in blood, and help you eradicate all the obstacles to ascending the throne and becoming the emperor. ”
Hearing these words suddenly without any preparation, Zhou Xiantai couldn't help but jump in his heart, and then said in disbelief:
"Mother, what do you mean by this? Our original plan was not to wait for our father to die, and then push the other party's death on the head of the crown prince who had been poisoned. Then the child led his troops into the palace under the pretext of escorting. And as the mother of a nation, you will say that your father will pass the throne to me before his death. In this way, we are the ministers of the guard, and the guilt of rebellion will be borne by the dead prince. ”
Seeing that Zhou Xiantai clearly retold the originally designated plan. But Xue Houwenyan snorted contemptuously, and looked at this son with disappointment.
"You know, Tai'er, even your voice trembled slightly when you spoke. The queen mother wants to personally send your father to death, do you feel scared in your heart? But what your father and Emperor Zhou Xianyu said today, we don't know at all. If your seventh brother is moved, or if he follows some secret decree, he will mobilize the people from the Beijing military camp into Beijing in a few days. Do you think that your ability to command the army is comparable to Zhou Xianyu, who is known as the king of war. If we don't do it first, the person who is about to be strangled will become our mother and son. ”
