Yingzong Du Zhen is a middle-aged man in his forties.

He has a pale face with three short beards, which are very neatly trimmed, which makes his slightly delicate face a little more domineering.

His eyes are always melancholy, his brows are often wrinkled, he has to be so, in his heart, he thinks that he has the ability to be as strong as Taizong, which is often shown in front of Du Rui in his infancy, when he is alone, his favorite recitation is Taizong's poems, hoping that he can also be like Taizong to drive the expedition and step on the world, so that the unification of the universe and the peace of the world.

However, reality made him powerless.

Yes, whether it is in the court or in the court, he always feels that there is an invisible net that binds him, making him powerful and difficult to reward, so he has to be depressed.

At this time, he strode into the Danfeng Palace, and frowned.

Not in the main hall of the court, he did not wear a dragon robe embroidered with a five-clawed golden dragon, but a black regular robe, with some dragon patterns embroidered with gold thread, faintly shining, and he did not wear a crown on his head, but a very ordinary black hat. The black sleeves of his robe made him look even more gloomy, and the wind he brought along the way seemed to be gloomy.

All the way forward, the guards, eunuchs, and palace maids on both sides bowed their heads one after another.

There was a eunuch in his thirties who followed behind Yingzong with Yun Sweep, like a shadow, and the distance from Yingzong was only five steps, even if Yingzong's pace was fast and slow, the distance was the same, as if it had been measured, not increasing or decreasing.

Seeing Yingzong come in, Wei Yue hurriedly pulled Du Rui.

The three of them were located in the middle of the main hall, standing in front of Empress Guo's couch, just blocking Yingzong's way.

Du Rui retreated to the side slightly embarrassed under the slight pull, and when he retreated, he glanced up at Yingzong, and little Du Rui's emotions suddenly hit his heart, that kind of emotion is very complicated, and the language is indescribable.

Just as Du Rui looked up, Yingzong's gaze quickly swept over.

As an emperor, and a martial arts cultivator who has reached the innate powerhouse, he is naturally very sensitive to the gaze of others, and under normal circumstances, only a few people dare to look at Yingzong, basically, no one dares to look at him unscrupulously. No matter how disdainful those guys are in their hearts, and even secretly slander him, on the surface, they can only be respectful.

Du Rui didn't expect Yingzong to be so sensitive, but he didn't turn his gaze in a panic, but looked straight at the other party, but his eyes were no longer like a blank piece of paper, but with emotion, a trace of curiosity, a trace of innocence......

Yingzong Du Zhen was obviously stunned for a moment.

Du Rui's appearance made him pause his previous thoughts, and he frowned slightly, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

A few years ago, after determining that Du Rui was a fool, Yingzong no longer wanted to look at him, even if it was a ceremony at the end of the year, he was not allowed to go to the palace and kept in the deep palace.

At that time, Du Rui occasionally had crazy times.

The so-called madness, that is, being entangled by the memories of the future in the brain, for example, running in the palace if no one is running, shouting the trumpet or something, that is the running exercise that he insisted on for a long time in later generations, although the personality has not awakened, the memory exists, driving him to do so.

Therefore, from time to time, he will also hear from some people about Du Rui.

In this world, there are also legends of past and present lives, and Buddhism still exists, in the so-called cause and effect theory, if your own children are crazy and stupid, that is, they have not accumulated virtue in their previous lives.

Therefore, Du Rui's existence made Yingzong Du Zhen very depressed and felt very embarrassed.

Last year, the meteor shower swept over Chang'an City, and a meteorite fell into the Daming Palace, through Qin Tianjian's statement, Yingzong also expelled Du Rui from the Daming Palace and exiled him to Xuanzhen Temple, so that he could pray for the fortune of the Tang Dynasty.

Before leaving, he did not summon Du Rui.

Therefore, this is the first time that Yingzong has met Du Rui after many years.

He was stunned because he hadn't seen Du Rui, yes, he had more than a dozen sons, and only a few left a deep impression on him, but the rest of the sons were not unrecognizable.

Now, Du Rui is dressed in the standard dress of a prince, but he has no impression.

This made him wonder if he was demented?

Yes, he didn't think of Du Rui at all, since Du Rui left the palace, under his hint, the news about this son no longer reached his ears, and in a year or so, he completely forgot about his son.

Although Mo Chou lowered his head, the corner of his eye kept looking at Du Rui.

Seeing Du Rui looking at the emperor, Mo Chou felt a thrill in his heart, at that moment, her whole face became as pale as a thousand years of snow, she stretched out her hand, grabbed Du Rui's hand, and gently pulled it to her side. Du Rui also came to Mo Rui's side, Mo Chou's body blocked in front of Du Rui, blocking Yingzong Du Zhen's sight, and when he did this, Mo Chou always lowered his head.

Yingzong strode over to the bed.

In front of the couch, the beacon city hurriedly took two steps forward, bent down, and stood solemnly on one side.

Yingzong stood still, looking at the beacon city, the expression on his face was a little solemn.

On the other side, Empress Guo still maintained her original posture, leaning on the back of the couch, with a lazy expression and a shallow smile, but at her signal, the palace maids who served her around her had retreated.

"Emperor, isn't this the time for the court? How do you have time to come to the concubine here? ”

Guo Yuqi said with a smile, picking up a cherry between her fingers with Danzhu on her long nails and putting it in her red lips, the whole gesture was very elegant, full of beauty, and full of temptation.

"Morning meeting?"

Yingzong Du Zhen squinted his eyes and snorted coldly.

He pointed to the Beacon City.

"You all step aside, I have something to discuss with the queen......"

Beacon Liancheng raised his head slightly, and the corner of his eye fell on Empress Guo's face.

Empress Guo was still smiling, smiling like a rich and fragrant peony.

Although Empress Guo didn't say anything obviously, Beacon City also knew what she meant, and he quickly retracted his gaze and replied in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

Then, he bowed and retreated, did not turn directly in front of the emperor, after retreating more than ten steps, he retreated to a pillar, he turned around and raised his head, and beckoned to the surrounding palace maids and chamberlains, so that these people were like evening tides, and retreated towards the outside of the hall in an orderly manner. At the same time, the middle-aged eunuch who followed Yingzong Du Zhen in his hand also retreated towards the outside of the hall under Yingzong's signal.

Wei Yue didn't dare to slack off, threw Mo Chou a look, and motioned for Mo Chou to pull Du Rui away.

At this time, Yingzong spoke.

"Stand down, that kid stays!"

If he didn't figure out this matter, Yingzong couldn't sleep at night.

Whether it is Wei Yue or Mo Chou, at this time they dare not say anything, and it is impossible to disobey the will, the two of them can only retreat, with a nervous heart, you know, this is an era of humiliation and death of the lord, one is prosperous, one is lost, they and Du Rui are grasshoppers tied to a rope, of course, they have an accident Du Rui is fine, Du Rui has an accident, they are finished.

I don't know if Du Rui will get into trouble?

Yes, they vaguely knew that Du Rui was awake for some time, however, they were even more scared, because the sober Du Rui seemed to be better at causing trouble, at that time, they watched Du Rui stab Xue Zhuo in the neck with a sword, and also saw how he dealt with the instinctive counterattack of an innate master before he died, and they couldn't do it so perfectly.

They knew that Du Rui had a secret.

For example, after being taken away by the assassin, he came back unscathed, secretly not having a deal with the other party.

It's just that Du Rui doesn't speak, and they can't ask anything.

Now, they can only pray to God, hoping that Du Rui will be safe and sound, and walk out of the Danfeng Hall in a while.

In the Danfeng Palace, it was quiet and silent.

Du Rui tilted his head and stared at the pillars on the side, the pillars were embroidered with flying phoenixes, there were raging flames burning, the whole carving was lifelike, extraordinarily vivid, it was the master's handwriting.

Du Rui's eyes were innocent and full of curiosity.

Yingzong Du Zhen sat on the bed, he stared at Du Rui with a frown.

"Who is this kid? Whose lineage? ”

Yingzong thought about it for a long time in his mind, and was sure that he had not met Du Rui.

In his opinion, Du Rui should be the son of a certain prince, I don't know why he was recruited into the palace by the queen, this kid is probably simple-minded, or for some reason he has not received etiquette education, after entering the palace, he is curious about everything, and he is as innocent as a child. Admittedly, this was rude, but Yingzong was not angry about it, he didn't think he was a tyrant.

Empress Guo smiled.

Flutter and chuckle.

Yingzong frowned, and he turned his head to look at Empress Guo.

Empress Guo looked at him without a trace of fear, her eyes were watery, and there was a faint charm.

A hint of gloom flashed in Yingzong's eyes, and he turned his head and looked at Du Rui, at this moment, Du Rui also looked up at him, his eyes were still innocent.

Yingzong almost couldn't help but smile at Du Rui, the smile was forcibly suppressed by him before the corners of his mouth bloomed, even in front of an innocent child, he had to maintain the majesty of the emperor.

"This is Handan-kun!"

"Handan-kun?"

Yingzong blinked and replied blankly.

"Yes! This is the thirteenth son of the emperor, the son of Mrs. Shu, the Handan Jun who prayed for blessings in the Xuanzhen Temple, the emperor...... You've forgotten all about your own son! ”

After that, Queen Guo covered her mouth and laughed.

Handan-kun!

Looking at Du Rui, Du Zhen's pale face was iron-blue, and it instantly darkened.

Some memories that he thought he had forgotten came back to his mind, he said in a deep voice.

"Why is he here?"

Unable to suppress the anger in his heart, his voice was filled with true qi, echoing in the hall like thunder.

As if frightened, Du Rui took half a step back, leaned back against the pillar, and looked at Yingzong timidly.

A wind blew into the main hall, as if stirred by the sound, and scurried up in fright, flew up the high beams along the pillars, passed between the beams, whined, and disappeared into the main hall.
