Guiping, the Mansion of the Duke of Min.

Two hours ago, Gonggong Liu sent his subordinates to the mansion to deliver a few boxes of pastries, saying that it was the palace food that the new emperor gave to the family of the grandfather of the country.

Min Xingshi wore an official uniform and thanked him for his kindness, and took out a letter of silver to send away the little father-in-law who was on an errand, and then happily shared the pastries with his subordinates.

And so, tragedy struck.

When the Min father and son rode back wildly throughout the whole process, the Tangfeng Courtyard where the Min Xing family lived was already full of people.

Father and son stood under the cloister outside the big house, anxiously waiting for news.

Soon, Lang Zhong walked out of the curtain, all of them were full of sadness, and they couldn't stop sighing and shaking their heads.

"How's it going, ma'am?"

Min Rui stumbled after him, grabbed a Lang Zhong and asked.

Lang Zhong dodged in horror, and threw his hand to the man one after another, with an ugly expression:

"Grandpa Guo forgives sins, Grandpa Guo forgives sins—"

"Wait......"

Seeing that the other party's back fled to the outer courtyard in a hurry, Min Rui couldn't chase after him, and instead pounced on another Langzhong:

"Tell this king quickly, what is the situation of the lady of the command?!"

Na Langzhong's body trembled like chaff, and he couldn't help nodding and saying:

"Grandpa Guo is angry, is he incompetent......"

Lang Zhongzhong, who was the last to come out of the house, was older, with a dignified complexion, and walked to Min Rui's side with a hard scalp, frowning:

"Grandpa Guo, a total of 27 people were poisoned this time, during which Mrs. Zun's poisoning was shallow, but there is no suitable antidote at present, so that the poison invaded the five inner ......"

Min Rui's eyes were dark, and he suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and he was supported by Min Jun, and his question became weak:

“… What does this mean? ”

Lang Zhongrong looked sad, bowed his hand sadly, and said in a trembling voice:

"Madame can only go until tonight, she is old and incompetent, I hope the prince will forgive her sins."

When he finished speaking, he ran without a moment's pause.

Min Rui immediately froze in the courtyard, expressionless and letting all kinds of people quickly bypass his sides, until the courtyard became empty, leaving only him and his son Min Jun.

At this moment, the man's body and mind seemed to be stripped away, and the torture of the cone made him instantly regress into a decadent old man, dragging his weakened body in the last years of the wind and candle, and he no longer had the vigor and uprightness on the battlefield.

"Father... Father! ”

Min Jun hugged the man who had lost his soul and cried out:

"Father, go and see Mother!"

Min Rui's eyes hung down to the ground, nodded numbly, his dry white lips trembled, and he couldn't spit out half a sentence for a long time, so he was dragged into the big house by Min Jun.

In front of the bed, six or seven mothers-in-law and maids were around, sobbing and wiping away tears.

The woman in the official uniform of Zhan Qing lay straight and silent, her face was dark and unright, and there was a trace of stale dirty blood condensed at the corner of her chapped mouth.

"Get out! All out—"

Min Jun was so confused that he raised his hand and drove all his subordinates out of the house.

Min Rui slowly sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the motionless woman on the bed, seeing that her eyebrows were still hideous and painful in her drowsy state, and her eyes were in pain.

"Madame......"

Min Rui shouted softly, his hands trembling outstretched, but he stopped halfway.

He was afraid of waking up the sleeping woman, and he couldn't bear to see her endure the poisonous torment in her body again.

In front of his son, Min Rui couldn't completely let go of Wang Zun's frame, so he tried his best to endure the grief in his heart, and his five fingers trembled and grabbed the messy blood-stained bed curtain, and barely stood up.

Min Jun was sobbing with his head against the door frame at this time, and suddenly turned around, his eyes were like a biting cold wind cutting into a person's body, and he roared:

"Father, the court is unjust, let's turn it back—"

"Lord ......"

There was a faint movement on the other side of the bed.

The father and son hurriedly turned their eyes and strode over.

"Madame!"

"Mother."

Min Xingshi moved his body slightly, and immediately his internal organs seemed to be interspersed with countless sharp blades, and the colic pain did not stop, and a mouthful of black blood gushed out of his mouth and nose.

"Mother!"

Min Jun lost his voice and lay on the bed with a headache and cried.

Min Xing's eyes were already out of shape, and he turned his head with difficulty, and his cold and stiff five fingers slowly stretched out, trembling enough to reach his son:

"Jun'er, don't cry, go outside, my mother has something to tell your father."

Min Jun didn't dare to disobey, got up and wiped his eyes and rubbed to the door, and when he stepped out of the threshold, he looked back at the woman lying in bed, and suddenly shed a handful of tears.

When he left the house, Min Rui could no longer hold back his emotions, and threw himself in front of the couch and whimpered.

This time, he was ordered by the emperor to build Wangxiantai and personally led 80,000 sailors to conquer the south and won a great victory.

Unexpectedly, in exchange for a reward, it was a poison that took the lives of his entire family!

Min Rui was full of unwillingness, and hot tears overflowed his eyes wantonly, flowing sadly and angrily.

"Lord, can you help the concubine get up......

The woman focused her sloppy gaze with all her might, staring straight at her husband, her trembling hands touching his wet face, and then holding up a smile, as if to soothe his sorrow.

Min Rui raised his head and wiped his face, sat down as he was told, scooped up the woman's weak body, and let her lean her back against his chest.

"Madame......"

He wanted to say something to her, but before his voice came out of his throat, he was already choked.

The woman breathed a sigh of relief and smiled softly:

"Lord, don't be sad. At the age of sixteen, the concubine was carried into the Min Mansion by the prince's sedan chair, and was favored by the prince, and respected the concubine like a guest. You are a prince of the imperial court but have never accepted a concubine, you are good to the concubine, and the concubine is remembered......"

Min Rui closed his eyes and shook his head vigorously:

"It's the king who is not good, and the king has made his family suffer from displacement for more than half his life. Now is stability, and Madame ......"

The man held the woman's cold hand and cried so hard that he could not break down.

"Don't be so ......"

The woman's breathing was weak and rapid, her voice seemed to be condensed in her throat and poured out weakly, sounding like light smoke, which could dissipate at any time:

"Lord Wang, it is enough for the concubine to be fortunate to follow the prince's wish in this life, but there are only two regrets that I hold a grudge about. First, the concubine is blessed and cannot accompany the prince's white head; Second, that year, the concubine was confused, and she ruthlessly abandoned Zhu'er just to protect Jun'er! The concubine is sorry for her, if it weren't for that accident, she might not have entered the deep palace, let alone be widowed at a young age, even if she was promoted to a concubine, there would be no male and half female body. It's all the concubine's fault, and the concubine is most sorry for our daughter-"

The matter of ruthlessly leaving his own daughter on the way to Guiping is still a sharp thorn in the heart of a woman. Every time she thinks about it, her heart will be pierced with blood, and the bite of countless insects and ants will always make her feel painful.

At the end of the day, Min Xingshi couldn't help but face her husband again and repent, crying and spurting out a mouthful of old blood.

The man wiped her clean with a handkerchief, and his inner sorrow was even worse, hugging the woman's trembling and cold body, his expression was sad and vicissitudes:

"This king doesn't blame you, our daughter has already forgiven you, why do you have to embarrass yourself?"

The woman suddenly held the man's palm, and the strength was amazing.

She looked at the man with four eyes, and her stunned eyes stared at the man's face without moving, and her eyes were clear and extremely seductive.

Min Rui's back tightened, and his heart hung in his throat.

He secretly prayed that this would not be her return.

"Lord Wang... Husband... Promise me that you will never rebel, you will never rebel—"

The sentence "husband" made Min Rui's heart cut like a knife:

"It turns out that Jun'er's words... Madame heard it all. ”

The woman's emotions were unusually anxious, and she shook his big hand hurriedly, repeating mournfully:

"Don't rebel, promise the concubine, never promise, otherwise the concubine will die!"

"Madame......"

"Lord Wang, even if it's for our pearls! She is still in the palace, and her life is pinched in the palm of the hand by the new emperor, once you raise righteousness here, she will be killed by the new emperor. Lord, don't do it! ”

The woman coughed violently and vomited out mouthfuls of black blood.

Min Rui took a deep breath, his eyebrows and eyes heavy, as if he had made great determination after a fierce struggle.

Tears rolled down, and the man's voice was slow and weak:

"This king promises you, this king will come up with a proper plan......"

"The prince must not forget... Don't forget ......"

The woman had exhausted the last of her strength, and her voice was as soft as a gossamer, fainter and fainter until it faded away. She leaned heavily into her husband's bosom and closed her eyes peacefully.

"Ma'am? …… Madam! ”

……

When the sky was dark, white silk flags were hung inside and outside the Min Mansion, and the mansion was immersed in unreachable sadness.

In the mourning hall, Min Rui stood in front of the brazier in a daze, silently throwing stacks of paper money into the basin.

The evening breeze was silent, and the flying ash fluttered and fell, and a vast pile of wounds.

A dark shadow flashed beside him, and a person walked to the incense case, his steps light and almost silent.

Lighting the three pillars of incense, he bowed down in front of the ranks.

Min Rui only thought that Cheng Wanli had properly disposed of Eunuch Liu and his group, and now he rushed to visit the Guogong Mansion.

"Xindi is about to come to Weihai in person, what is the next plan for your East Factory?"

Min Rui didn't deliberately look up at the person in front of the incense case, his eyes only stared at the fire jumping in the copper basin, and his desolate and lukewarm eyes were red and aggressive by the hideous flames, but they were extremely cold and attacking.

"Externally, you are already a dead man, you should always pretend to be more like a dead man, so as to hide from the eyes of the new emperor, right?"

That person's voice was not Cheng Qianhu's!

Min Rui was shocked, and when he raised his eyes, the man also looked sideways at him.

Xuanshang is tall and tall, with a smile on his eyebrows and eyes.

He is not Leng Qingtang, the commander of Dongchang, who is he?
