Chapter 20: A Rainy Night
Not long after the incident, Beixue put on a posture and prepared to declare war, but it was still slow to move on the surface.
In Ying Nan's palace, the life of the eldest uncle is becoming more and more difficult.
Wuguo often enters nightmares in his own star-picking building, his little hands twisting and clasping the futon, and his whereabouts are dripping with cold sweat.
Emperor Ying Nan came to see Wuguo a few times, but they were all a cowardly appearance, facing the affairs of the court, the provocative documents sent by Bei Xue, and the response that Emperor Ying Nan directly chose to fight.
The ministers in the audience dissuaded one after another, hoping that His Majesty would consider the treasury, but I saw the person on the stage, playing with the rabbit jade pendant on his waist and saying: "My daughter is shocked, do you think that my father should not seek justice?" ”
After Wuguo heard her father's answer, she stayed in the imperial study for an afternoon with her sick body, and when she came back in the afternoon, she lay in the Star Picking Building, staying at home.
In the Ranlin Palace, the eldest uncle looked at the food sent by the little eunuch and smiled almost uncheckably.
Now, although he still lives in the Ranlin Palace on the surface, his food and clothing are more than a big difference.
Mo Yuan's little proton made a fuss several times to see the eldest uncle, but he was held back by the nurse, and even the good old man in Canghuang City stopped coming out.
The battle between the two armies has always been the most distressed by the proton, and even more, the proton sacrifice flag appeared.
The eldest uncle was not annoyed, he just sat like that, the tea was leisurely, as if nothing had happened.
Until Qi Tang waited for Xin'er to come to his room.
Qi Tang sat on the high seat, his fingers fell on the wooden table dottedly, although it was already autumn, the room was still very warm.
She thought about it for a long time, the corners of her lips rose, and her eyebrows and eyes were vaguely proud.
"I heard some words from my brother a few days ago, and I don't know if His Highness is interested."
Uncle Chang raised his eyebrows, knowing that this woman was not comparable to Fahrenheit, and her mental means were slightly superior, if it weren't for a figure like Qi Shang in the family, Qi Tang was afraid that he would be the leader of the Qi family in this century.
He didn't speak, waiting for Qi Tang's words.
And Qi Tang was holding a cat and touching it for a while, and it took a long time to raise his head, and his apricot eyes were charming: "This person, once he becomes a mother, he will be worried, thinking that there will be someone to take care of him a hundred years later." ”
said that he put down the white cat in his hand and let it run around: "But no matter what, when it is a hundred years old, you will want to see your children, right?" ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the eldest uncle pinched the handle of the chair, although there was not much change on his face, he couldn't help but worry in his heart, he knew that what Qi Tang was going to say was about his mother.
And Qi Tang smiled when he saw the eldest uncle's reaction.
After getting up a few steps, he turned his head against the light and said, "I heard that His Highness's mother concubine is about to die of poison, I don't know what His Highness's plans are?" ”
The eldest uncle was sitting there in a robe, with no expression on his lonely face, but the hands on both sides trembled faintly.
Qi Tang chuckled, turned to leave, and let himself digest the news.
The door of the temple was open, and he sat there. For a long time, as if thinking of something, he got up and stumbled to the imperial study.
The location of the imperial study is close to the Taiji Palace, because it is the emperor's special blessing, and the building is not gorgeous.
The eldest uncle knelt there, pleading with a paper in his hand, hoping for a chance to return home.
The clear voice passed through the palace door, and his voice trembled: "Your Majesty Emperor Yingnan, I will definitely allow the eldest uncle to return to the country, if he returns safely, I will promise that Yingnan will be safe for a hundred years, and Her Royal Highness Princess Yan will live forever." ”
As he spoke, he kowtowed once.
When there was no response inside, he said kowtow again, and so on.
When Cheng Yang brought the news to Wuguo, Wuguo was about to wake up, and when he heard that the eldest uncle knelt down and begged to return to China to see his mother for the last time, his brows couldn't help but twist.
Cheng Yang sat on the edge of the bed, took the refreshments handed over by the red beans, and then continued: "Now that the war between the two countries is about to start, return to the country, and he will think of it." ”
Wuguo also smiled, but his eyebrows and eyes showed sadness.
Cheng Yang sighed, raised his hand and rubbed Wuguo's head: "Little Wuguo, you have to know that he is always the Northern Snowman." ”
Should be south and north snow, if the two countries are fine, no matter how good the little proton is, it is possible for her.
But now, the war is about to start, and there are still a number of ministers in the court waiting to send people to sacrifice the flag, so how can they invite him back.
Thinking of his mother, his eyebrows and eyes narrowed, and he nodded.
Cheng Yang didn't say much when he saw that she wanted to understand, and his eyes motioned for Hongdou to take care of his little sister and turned to leave.
Wuguo looked out the window, today, the weather is not particularly good.
It was gloomy for half an afternoon, and finally there was a "boom" and it rained heavily.
The rain curtain was thick, pressing the house more and more stuffy, and if you carefully calculated, this should be the first rain since the beginning of autumn.
She wrapped her shirt tightly and stared at the embroidery on the sheets for a long time, and finally sighed roughly.
After a few greetings to the red bean, he draped the rain curtain and went to the imperial study.
In front of the imperial study, the eldest uncle knelt straight and straight.
The rain was so heavy that it became a heavy rain curtain in front of the umbrella, and it blurred the figure all of a sudden.
The people in front knelt and shouted from time to time the words "Please be allowed to return to China".
Yesterday, she saw her father and the emperor through illness, and saved his life under repeated pleading, but asked that the national war broke out before she could send people back.
Wuguo took a breath, only to feel a kind of suffocation in his lungs, thinking that he was in his thirties, but it was also the first time he experienced what heartache was.
She thought about the reason, thought about it for a long time, and realized that even if there was no war, it would not be polite for the proton to return to the country.
After the outbreak of the war, his father allowed him to return to the country, but he relied on the strength of the southern soldiers and horses to fight strongly, and he would not lose at all. But if you change the time, no matter how you say it, it will not be good for the south.
It stands to reason that in the interests of the two countries, it is impossible for her to intersect with him, but emotionally, she has already lost the battle.
The little eunuch beside Emperor Ying Nan secretly ran in front of her, saying that His Majesty asked her to go back.
His body shook in the rain, and he turned around and said he knew, and then turned to leave.
She tried her best to hide the haggard between her eyebrows, but it only added a little sadness.
Hongdou couldn't see that Wuguo was uncomfortable, so he ordered the kitchen to prepare a lot of pastries, so he went to find Chengyang with an umbrella.
Counting as growing up in the palace since childhood, red beans naturally know the role of becoming yang in the five fruits.
The warm yellow palace clothes rippled in the forest, and a smile immediately spread on his face when he saw people.
Cheng Yang was in a trance, and he was about to step forward to pull the red beans away, but he didn't think that the Miss Yang family behind him still came out.
A few days ago, because the Yang family offended the power, all the staff were disarmed and returned to the field, leaving only one young lady to stay in the imperial city.
Emperor Ying Nan sympathized with her and allowed her to marry the eldest prince, and the marriage date was established in just two or three words.
Hongdou smiled, and the corners of his mouth rose and said, "Your Highness is in a bad mood right now." ”
Cheng Yang nodded and walked out.
When passing by the imperial study, I saw the young man in the rain curtain kneeling there numbly and kowtowing, and the maids and eunuchs who came and went back and forth were all unheard, leaving only a figure, and the shadow was only a single line.
Emperor Ying Nan was in the hall, and after listening to what was going on outside, he just picked up the jade pendant on the table, did not speak, and raised his hand to the eunuch to signal him to close the door.
Without mercy, the man's only hope was shattered.
The eunuch received the order and withdrew and closed the wooden door.
He clenched his hands, his indifferent eyes filled with scarlet hatred.
