The autumn wind rises, and the geese fly south.

Shanglin Yuan is dyed in layers, in the south of Shanglin Garden, there is the Kunming Pond that leads to abundant water and builds, more than 40 miles of blue waves ripple around Kunming Pond, it is reflected in the mountains and forests, the scenery is very pleasant. There is a wave hall built in the pond of Kunming, the laurel tree is the pillar of the palace, whenever the breeze comes to the hall, it exudes a burst of fragrance, the dragon head boat is tied next to the wave hall all the year round, every year when the autumn is high and cool, Liu Che will go boating on the lake, enjoy the scenery on both sides of the strait while drinking and listening to music.

This year, it is still the same. The Son of Heaven arrived, Zhang Fenggai, Jianhua Banner, drumming and blowing sheng, and in the melodious music, Liu Che was content. After drinking a little wine, Liu Che walked on the strings of the boat and looked around, surrounded by vast clear water, the same color of heaven and earth, and the mountain breeze blowing from the lake, which was extremely comfortable. As the boat moved, a whale leaped into view in the distance, it was a diamond carved in stone, three feet long, rising and falling in the waves.

Liu Che was admiring the lake and mountains in front of him, and suddenly the sky darkened, and raindrops as big as beans fell on the lake, hitting his body and making people feel painful. "Your Majesty, go back to the cabin!" Xiao Huangmen, who was waiting on the side, saw that the sky was changing, and hurriedly helped Liu Che get off the string of the boat and walked to the cabin.

For a while, the wind and rain were raging, and the rain poured down on the lake, and the raindrops of white flowers continued to fall into the lake like pearls with broken threads. As soon as Liu Che wiped the rain off his body and sat down, he heard a roar from the lake, and followed the sound along the boat, only to see the stone whale undulating with the water waves as if its fins and tails were moving, and the sound of the wind mixed with the sound of rain swept over the lake, sounding as if the stone whale was constantly roaring in the storm.

"Your Majesty is the true dragon son of heaven, and it is this whale built in stone, and when you see Your Majesty, you are also alive like a god." Xiao Huangmen flattered happily on the side.

Liu Che didn't have the expected smile on his face when he heard this, the true dragon son is indeed true, but when it comes to channeling, it is far from reaching. Thinking of his majestic son of heaven, majestic all over the world, although he has been concentrating on seeking immortals for many years, he has not been able to see the true face of immortals, watching himself grow old, Liu Che feels more and more powerless.

"Go down!" Liu Che stopped and said to Xiao Huangmen, Xiao Huangmen didn't know which sentence he said wrongly and made the holy driver so unhappy, seeing this, he quickly smiled, lowered his body and retreated softly.

The sound of the rain gradually became smaller, and the lake became clearer, and Liu Che's eyes looked beyond the lake to the mountains and forests beyond. Luan Da has been an envoy to the East China Sea for more than half a year, why hasn't he returned? Haven't you still seen An Jisheng and sought the art of immortality? Still is... What he said is simply nonsense? Don't... Is this Luan Daguo really Li Shaoweng and the like?

There were more and more doubts and anxieties in his heart, blending into a black cloud, and the black pressure fell straight down, Liu Che only felt extremely depressed in his chest, and he couldn't breathe for a long time, and suddenly his eyes were dark, and he fainted suddenly.

----

When I woke up again, I was already in the Bo Temple. The candle flame flickered, Wei Zifu put his elbows to his forehead in front of the couch, slightly closed his eyes and stood aside, Liu Che looked at the faces of the people around him, the black hair was young and soft when he hung down his shoulders, and now he is getting older, and his sideburns have a trace of white hair, and his appearance is no longer the youthful luster of the past.

Liu Che sighed in his heart, slowly got up, Wei Zifu opened his eyes when he heard the sound, and couldn't help but rejoice when he saw Liu Che wake up: "Your Majesty, you are awake!" ”

"What's wrong with me?" Liu Che asked.

"Your Majesty suffered a cold while cruising in Kunming Pool and fainted." Wei Zifu helped Liu Che sit up slowly and replied softly.

"Oh..."Liu Che leaned on the soft pillow and nodded thoughtfully.

"The imperial doctor came to check His Majesty's pulse, and said that the Holy Communion was unharmed, and the fainting should be due to the wind blowing on the surface of the lake, so he asked the concubine to boil a cold soup and give it to His Majesty when he woke up." Wei Zifu said softly, "The concubine will come here." ”

"Okay." Liu Che bowed slightly, and when Wei Zifu's footsteps were far away, he fell into deep thought again.

After drinking the cold soup, Wei Zifu said: "Your Majesty's holy body is unwell, can you rest early?" ”

Liu Che shook his head and said, "I'm much better, come, talk to me!" ”

"No!" Wei Zifu responded softly, then knelt down on the cushion on the side, looked at the woman who had accompanied him for more than 20 years in the light and shadow, Liu Che asked: "Queen, have you ever complained about Jue'er's marriage?" ”

Wei Zifu was slightly stunned, then lowered his eyes and said softly: "The concubine doesn't dare." ”

"I know that you have a grudge against me in your heart." Liu Che didn't pay attention to Wei Zifu's answer, and said to himself: "Jue'er is my eldest princess, how can I not cherish it?" Jue'er and Xiang'er got married early in the morning, if there was no Huo Da Sima, this marriage would also be a good match, right? ”

"Your Majesty..."Wei Zifu was shocked when she heard this, and raised her eyes to look at Liu Che, her eyes were full of surprise, Jue'er and the matter of going to the illness she thought were very secret, but she didn't expect this matter to come out of Liu Che's mouth so lightly, how could she not be shocked?

Liu Che smiled slightly and said, "I already knew. ”

"Your Majesty forgives your sins!" Wei Zifu put his hand against his forehead, and was about to get up to confess, Liu Che flicked his hand and signaled: "The queen sits!" ”

"Jue'er is my eldest princess, how can I not see what is going on in my daughter's family?" Liu Che said slowly, "It's just that Jue'er and Xiang'er's marriage contract was set early in the morning, otherwise I would like to be an adult..."

Liu Che sighed and continued: "It's a pity that Xiang'er, the child, is blessed and can't stay with Jue'er, and Huo Dasima is jealous, so it's really helpless!" In the past, the daughter of Mu Gong made jade and got Xiao Shi, the lord of Taihua Mountain, as her son-in-law, and finally both flew to the immortals. ”

"Your Majesty..."Liu Che's words moved Wei Zifu, she had always thought that Liu Che was obsessed with the art of immortals, so he gave their daughter to marry a monk, but there were also many painstaking efforts that she had never experienced.

"Your Majesty's heart is sincere, and the concubine has thanked Your Majesty for Jue'er!" Wei Zifu fell to the ground and sobbed, "Jue'er, this child's life is miserable, Xiang'er has gone before her, and the concubine is worried... I'm worried that if this Luan Da is not Xiao Shi's fellow Daoist, what can this kid do? Wei Zifu had tears in his eyes, and only then did he spit out all the worries in his heart.

Wei Zifu's words exacerbated the hidden worries in Liu Che's heart, and he was silent for a long time before he said: "I will give Jue'er an explanation for this matter!" ”

After speaking, Liu Che's expression was also depressed, and there was an indescribable feeling in his heart, the candle flame was faint, Liu Che's voice was a little tired, and said: "I'm tired, the queen retreat!" ”

"No!" Wei Zifu didn't dare to say much when he saw this, so he hurriedly got up and waited for Liu Che to lie down, before he tiptoed back.

Outside the Bo Temple, the sky was heavy, and the stars were hidden in the clouds, flickering bright and dark. The lake in Kunming Pond is not alarmed, and the lake surface is calm.

----

Since Bodian returned to the palace, Wei Zifu has been restless, and every time he thinks of Liu Che's expression under the candle fire that night, Wei Zifu has a bad premonition in his heart. For a few days, she was restless in bed, and Yun Niang only thought that the queen was blowing the wind in the Bodian, and she took care of it more and more carefully after she came back.

"Sister Yun Niang..."The palace people in the palace said to Yun Niang, "Sister Cai Xi has entered the palace and asked to see the queen outside the palace." ”

"Really? Why is Sister Caixi here? Yun Niang said happily when she heard this, "I'll go over now." ”

It didn't take long for Yun Niang to see Cai Xi waiting outside the Jiaofang Palace, and Yun Niang shouted happily: "Sister Cai Xi!" Cai Xi looked up when he heard the sound and saw that it was Yun Niang, and he was also happy: "Yun Niang!" ”

The two of them haven't seen each other for a long time, and they are very happy, seeing that there is Gongsun Ao who came with Caixi, Yun Niang saw a salute and said, "Why did Lord Gongsun come over?" ”

Gongsun Ao hurriedly replied: "Miss Yunniang, Gongsun has no official position for a long time, and now he is dressed in white. ”

Yun Niang smiled: "Please come with me, two of you." After that, he led the way in front and led Gongsun Ao and Caixi to sit down in the side hall, and said: "The queen was affected by the wind in the Bodian a few days ago, and she was still resting in the inner hall. ”

"The queen's body is fine, right?" Cai Xi asked with concern when he heard this.

Yun Niang said with relief: "It's okay, it's much better now." As he was talking, a small palace maid walked into the hall and said to Yun Niang: "Sister Yun Niang, the queen is awake." ”

"Okay, I'll go over here." Yun Niang answered, and smiled at Cai Xi: "I'm going to tell the queen, if the queen knows that her sister is coming, she will be overjoyed." ”

Cai Xi smiled slightly. After a stick of incense, Yun Niang followed Wei Zifu to the side hall, and when she saw Cai Xi and Gongsun Ao, Wei Zifu walked over quickly, and shouted with a smile: "Cai Xi!" Brother Gongsun! ”

Hearing this, the two of them hurriedly knelt down to salute, and Wei Zifu hurriedly said: "Hurry up and excuse me!" How did you enter the palace together? ”

Cai Xi glanced at Gongsun Ao, his eyes were slightly red, and he replied slowly: "Queen, I am waiting for this trip to bid farewell to the queen!" ”

"Resignation?" Wei Zifu was stunned, and Gongsun Ao continued: "Yes, the queen, I have discussed with Caixi, we will leave Chang'an and return to my hometown Yiqu together." ”

Wei Zifu bowed his head lightly and said, "How can it be so sudden, but is there something wrong with my brother's hometown?" ”

Gongsun Ao shook his head and said, "Returning to Yiqu is an idea I had early on. Before Wei Qing's health was not good, Gongsun did not dare to leave Chang'an, but now that the general has left, I have no worries in Chang'an. As he spoke, he glanced at Cai Xi and said, "I want to return to my hometown with Cai Xi and spend the rest of my life in peace." ”

"Oh..."Wei Zifu nodded, how could she not understand Gongsun Ao's mood, the best friend of his life left, and his fame was like dust, what was the point of staying in Chang'an for him?

"That's fine." Wei Zifu pressed the amazement in his heart and instructed Yun Niang: "Go to the inner hall and get some plates." ”

"Absolutely never!" Gongsun Ao hurriedly stopped, "I and Caixi have already prepared for the entanglement of returning to my hometown, the queen is kind, Gongsun has it!" ”

"Thank you for the kindness of the queen, Huiyiqu's entanglement is enough for us." Cai Xi also said.

Wei Zifu motioned Yun Niang to get it, and explained: "You have been in Chang'an for many years, and you don't have much savings, not to mention it for the time being, even if you go back to Yiqu, you can't have a silver body, just a little heart, don't see the palace." ”

has known Wei Zifu for many years, how could Gongsun Ao not understand her temperament, and when he saw her say this, he no longer refused, and thanked Caixi: "So, thank you Queen!" ”

Wei Zifu looked at the two of them and said emotionally: "This is to Yiqu, thousands of miles away, and I don't know when we will see each other again, how precious you should be!" ”

"Queen..."Cai Xi burst into tears, and suppressed the sadness in his heart, and said slowly, "Queen, you have to take care of yourself!" ”

"Hmm... Hmm..."Wei Zifu couldn't help but nod, after this farewell, the old man was thousands of miles away, and the mountains were heavy, and what he hoped for was that they were all safe.
