The most outstanding doctors in Puxin Prefecture all came with confidence and left in despair. Tong Yuqing accompanied Qing Ziting, except for eating and sleeping every day, almost all the rest of the time was spent in the courtyard in front of the main house. It rained heavily for a few days, and Tong Yuqing was afraid that Qing Ziting would be infected with the cold, so she wanted to persuade him to go back to the room and wait, but he politely refused. Tong Yuqing could only wrap him tightly in a thick quilt and sit in the corridor with him.

On this day, Mi Lan came over and whispered a few words in Tong Yuqing's ear, Tong Yuqing sighed, "Tell her that saving Huo Yu's young son's life is the greatest mercy I can earn." For the rest, there's nothing I can do about it. Ask her to focus on the big picture. ”

After Mi Lan left, Qing Ziting asked, "Is it the eldest uncle?" ”

Tong Yuqing bowed, Qing Ziting held her hand, and said softly: "It's hard for you." ”

Tong Yuqing smiled and shook her head, "It's embarrassing for the eldest aunt, for this ignorant half-brother, she put down her body and ran back and forth up and down." It's a pity that Huo Yun has been in the world for so many years, and he has only grown a few years older, so he will cooperate with his eldest brother to kill the king for the sake of the so-called splendid future! Even my wife can't help but sacrifice herself to save her son in the face of the crime of killing the king, how can I disturb my father's peace repeatedly for the sake of an ignorant relative? He's exhausted enough now. ”

Qing Ziting looked back at the door, and her voice couldn't stop shaking, "Er, do you say that the eldest brother can survive this catastrophe this time?" ”

Tong Yuqing didn't know how to answer, although they knew that Lu Jingwu had poked a hole in the sky last time, they were not close in the end. Tong Yuqing can say something to comfort Qing Ziting and comfort herself. But this time Lu Jingwu was only separated from them by a wall, and so many reincarnated Hua Tuo went in and out, out and in, but they couldn't make Lu Jingwu wake up. Tong Yuqing couldn't even comfort herself, let alone comfort Qing Ziting. She could only hold Qing Ziting's hand tightly, trying to keep a trace of warmth in his cold hand.

The door was opened from the inside again, and when Tong Yuqing saw who it was, her eyes couldn't help but widen. Lu Tiansheng turned gray overnight! The full head of gorgeous hair makes people feel like an old man who is too old, but he is obviously not even in the age of ear smoothness......

The wind was not strong, but it seemed to be able to blow him down. Gu Huaijue hurriedly stepped forward to support him, looked into the room, Lu Tiansheng guessed what he was thinking, and said, "You guys...... Let's all go in......"

Qing Ziting felt very bad, and he didn't care about comforting his father, so he rushed directly into the house. Everyone else also squeezed into the room, and only Gu Huaijue was alone, accompanying Lu Tiansheng.

Gu Huaijue said with relief: "Tiansheng, don't think nonsense, Wu'er is sick and confused, talking nonsense, don't ......take it seriously."

Lu Tiansheng squeezed out a smile that was more ugly than crying, "I'm fine." In my life, what wind and waves have I never seen? You go in too. ”

Gu Huaijue hesitated, but Lu Tiansheng pushed him with a smile, "Come in." ”

Gu Huaijue instructed: "Then you are alone, remember to go back to the room to rest." ”

Lu Tiansheng said impatiently: "Got it, go quickly." ”

Gu Huaijue was also afraid that he wouldn't see Lu Jingwu's last face, so he didn't care about Lu Tiansheng anymore and rushed into the room, only to see Lu Jingwu holding Zhong Wanlu's hand, not knowing what he was writing.

Those originally beautiful eyes were now swollen like walnuts, and no one knew what Lu Jingwu wrote on her palm, only that Zhong Wanlu was stunned for a moment, and then cried more and more.

After Lu Jingwu let go of Zhong Wanlu's hand, he stretched out his hand towards Gu Weiqing, but he didn't write on his hand, just pulled him to sit on the edge of the bed.

"Maybe after I die, I will leave a reputation in the history books for being disloyal and unfilial, trying to kill my father and kill the king. But fortunately, there is still one person in the world who knows the whole truth. For this alone, I can forgive all the pain that God has inflicted on me. Throughout my life, there have been many unfortunate things, but there are only three things that I am most fortunate in this life. First, I was accompanied by the cold tide and accompanied me through that dark time. Second, I got a pot of turbid wine, which made my qi and blood smooth all the time. ”

Gu Weiqing originally listened to him quietly with red eyes, but when he compared himself to a pot of turbid wine, he still didn't get angry and pushed him, "Yes." You dare to use me as a punching bag, and the whole world is the best bully for me! ”

Lu Jingwu laughed, and there was a hint of color on his pale cheeks, "Your real name is Gu Weixun, and your nickname is Turbidity Gongzi." You said it yourself, you can't blame me. ”

Gu Weiqing made a gesture to pull him, "Come on, come on, you get up, let's fight." Decide what my real name is? ”

Lu Jingwu dodged his hand and coughed twice, Gu Weiqing didn't dare to tease him anymore, raised his hand to help him breathe, Lu Jingwu no longer had the strength to control the upwelling blood, Gu Weiqing's hand was instantly dyed red.

Gu Weiqing panicked and shouted, "Jingwu! ”

Lu Jingwu felt that his life was passing bit by bit, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, so he turned his head to look at his last concern, "Brother ......"

Qing Ziting banged in his head, time seemed to go back to twenty years ago, when he first met people, a boy who was much taller than him excitedly picked him up, took him to fly in the air, kept teasing him, and asked him to call him brother. He still remembers that when he said the word "brother" in a milky voice, Lu Jingwu laughed and called "brother" while stuffing a large piece of sugar into his mouth, although it was kind and almost choked him. Later, although there was Lu Jingpeng, Lu Jingwu did not change the "younger brother" to the "second brother". Later, although he had the intention to call him "brother", Lu Jingwu was no longer willing to call him "brother".

Qing Ziting originally thought that it would be impossible for him to hear Lu Jingwu call him "brother" again in his life, but he didn't expect that after going around for more than 20 years, everything could return to its original appearance. This is the expectation of Qing Ziting's heart, but seeing his brother's dying appearance, he would rather he still look at him with that gloomy and resentful gaze, at least at that time, he was physically standing in front of him.

"I'm sorry, for so many years, I'm the one who has been my brother, and I'm sorry for you. You're the best brother in the world, but I'm the worst brother in the world. ”

Qing Ziting's tears couldn't stop falling, and she couldn't stop crying: "No...... No...... Brother, you're not sorry for me...... It's me...... Hurt you. If it weren't for me...... You won't ...... It became like this......"

Lu Jingwu shook his hand, "At this point, right and wrong are no longer important. I just want you to understand that as Lu Tiansheng's son, you can not fight or rob, but you can't be defenseless. Some people and things don't disappear when you take refuge on the remote dust island, you have to learn to protect yourself, you know? ”

Qing Ziting nodded, and Lu Jingwu took Gu Weiqing's hand again, "Remember where I scattered Hanxi's ashes, right?" When I die, I scatter my ashes there. ”

Gu Weiqing didn't mention clichés such as bruising bones and scattering ashes, but said, "I don't remember." If you dare to die, I will definitely let you be buried in the ancestral grave of the Lu family, so that you will not be able to get rid of the shackles of the Lu family for the rest of your life. ”

Lu Jingwu felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and the shadow in front of him was getting more and more blurred, but a touch of shadow was getting clearer and clearer, calling his name lightly, saying that he would take him to a world without strife......

Before everyone could come out of the grief of Zhong Shunhua's passing, they fell into another grief. Qing Ziting couldn't help the blow, and was soon crushed by grief, and the cold disease recurred. Tong Yuqing didn't dare to leave Qing Ziting for half a step, and took care of him carefully. In addition to Qing Ziting, Lu Tiansheng and Lu Xi couldn't bear the blow and fell ill one after another. The burden of presiding over the funeral naturally fell on Lu Jingpeng's shoulders.

Zhong Shunhua and Lu Jingwu died on the charge of killing the king, Lu Jingzhi has never been the master who can pick the beam, he thought that he was the only heir to Lu Tiansheng, and his heart was already happy, but he knew that on the surface, he still had to do enough to handle Zhong Shunhua and Lu Jingwu's funerals properly, and earn a reputation for himself as benevolent, filial piety, and respect.

Regarding Lu Jingpeng's "deeds", Tong Yuqing also occasionally heard about it, such as he saluted the wise men, often visited Gu Huaijue and other predecessors, such as his extensive benevolence, and often visited the lonely and widowed elderly with his wife. In this regard, Tong Yuqing smiled and forgot that the only thing she cares about now is to take care of Qing Ziting's body.

One day, Tong Yuqing was boiling medicine for Qing Ziting in the courtyard, and the housekeeper stepped forward and whispered in her ear: "Second young grandmother, eldest aunt and eldest lady are visiting." ”

Tong Yuqing's hand shaking the fan froze, how could Bai Qiaoxuan and Lu Xi come? Or do you want to come along?

Seeing that she didn't react, the housekeeper asked tentatively, "Do you want to ask them back?" ”

Tong Yuqing shook her head, "Please let them in." ”

If it weren't for something important, the two of them wouldn't have come together. Tong Yuqing didn't dare not see it.

After Lu Xi saw Tong Yuqing, his expression was a little unnatural, and despite his best efforts to hide it, Tong Yuqing could still detect something unusual. She smiled faintly and said, "The two of you are visiting, Yuqing has missed the welcome, please forgive me." I wonder what the two of you are talking about? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan replied: "We are here to visit the patient, I don't know if the second brother and second sister-in-law are still convenient now?" ”

Tong Yuqing smiled slightly: "Convenient, please come in." ”

After the two entered, Tong Yuqing closed the door casually and whispered to Shuque: "You and Mi Lan are guarding outside, and no one is allowed to approach the doors and windows without my orders." ”

With Qing Ziting and Lu Xi there, Tong Yuqing couldn't let Bai Qiaoxuan have something to say, so he could only watch him and Lu Xi chatting with Qing Ziting for a while.

Qing Ziting also knew that Bai Qiaoxuan couldn't come just to visit the patient, so he said: "The smell of medicine in the room is too strong, you can go outside to talk." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled: "I didn't ask Xi'er to accompany me just to be a pretense. What I'm going to say next is very relevant to you. ”

Qing Ziting looked dazed, and Tong Yuqing asked, "You won't be bothered by the rumors of the past few days, right?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan sneered, "You and I can see through it, how can Uncle Gu's battle-hardened veterans not see through it?" Besides, what kind of thing is he, Lu Jingpeng? In which eye have I ever had him? ”

Tong Yuqing couldn't think of anything else that was important and closely related to Qing Ziting and Lu Xi besides Lu Jingpeng, so she could only ask, "Then what are you here for?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan asked rhetorically: "Xi'er can't think through these things. Why are you asking me? You can't stay on Yaochen Island for a long time, and you really don't ask about the world, right? ”

Tong Yuqing really wanted him to say something quickly and fart quickly, but in front of Qing Ziting and Lu Xi, he still didn't say this, just sat down and stared at him quietly.

Seeing this, Bai Qiaoxuan could only say directly: "There is something strange about the eldest brother's rebellion, or rather, I found out that there is something wrong with King Duluo through this incident." Everyone will have a purpose in doing things, and we all initially thought that King Dulo supported the eldest brother to murder his father in order to support the eldest brother to ascend to the throne in order to obtain more benefits. But now it seems that his purpose is obviously not this, because he withdrew his troops at the most critical time. Although the defeat of the eldest brother was not only due to the withdrawal of King Duro's troops, it was also an important reason for his defeat. Have you ever wondered why King Duro withdrew his troops? ”

"Perhaps...... He suddenly found that his father had already taken precautions, and knew that this assassination would definitely fail, so ......" Tong Yuqing quickly refuted his statement, "No, with King Duluo's temperament, as long as he is determined to take his father's life, even if he knows that his father has been on guard, he will definitely make people try desperately, what if it succeeds?" To him, the lives of his men were insignificant compared to those of his father. He can temporarily withdraw his troops, unless he ...... His purpose was not to kill his father! ”

Bai Qiaoxuan saw that Qing Ziting and Lu Xi didn't understand Tong Yuqing's words, and continued: "Back to that sentence, everyone will have his purpose in doing things. King Duro's purpose was not to kill his father, but to do something else. Judging from the results of this matter, the purpose of his tossing for so long is to harm his apparent partner, that is, the eldest brother. The reason why I say that he is harming the eldest brother, not killing the eldest brother, is because even if the eldest brother rebels, his father may not kill him. So what does King Duro want to harm his eldest brother? ”

Lu Xi tried to reply: "The best result of the defeat of the eldest brother is to be idle at home." But in any case, he could no longer be his successor. For no one would put an overseer on a man who tried to kill his father. Is King Duluo's purpose to harm the eldest brother who is no longer qualified to win Pu Xinzhou? ”

Bai Qiaoxuan looked at Lu Xi with satisfaction, "Xi'er, you have really made great progress in the past two years. ”

Qing Ziting asked, "I still don't understand, why did King Du Luo do this?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled: "Your words can be regarded as the key. Why did King Duluo pull his eldest brother off the horse? Or what good is it for him to pull the big brother off the horse? ”

Tong Yuqing said: "I haven't heard that he has a personal vendetta with his eldest brother or wife. So he pulled the eldest brother off the horse, it could only be because the eldest brother was in that position and got in his way. The eldest brother lost his qualifications for succession, and Ziting has never been involved in political affairs, who benefits the most? ”

Qing Ziting's face turned pale, "You mean, the person King Du Luo really wants to support is...... Third brother? ”

Tong Yuqing didn't answer, it was a tacit acquiescence, but she pondered for a moment and then said, "This is only one of the possibilities, but not all of them. Back then, after I knew that Liu Zhenning and Qiu Lingwei often met, I thought that the person Tong Baiyi wanted to support was Qiu Lingjiong. But it turns out that Qiu Lingwei is just a pawn of Tong Baiyi, and his real purpose is revenge. In this way, King Duluo's real purpose may not be to support the third brother, he may be like Tong Baiyi, he wants to take revenge, or he may ......"

Bai Qiaoxuan continued: "Cut off the enemy's wings one by one and replace them." ”

Qing Ziting and Lu Xi's hearts tightened, and Bai Qiaoxuan said: "That's why I said that it is closely related to you. My instincts tell me that King Duro is playing a big game of chess. This game of chess does not begin with us, nor does it end with us, but each of us is in this game of chess, a pawn in the hands of King Duro. Of course, my intuition may also be wrong, King Duluo just wants to support the third brother to ascend to the throne. But even so, we can't sit still. Because Lu Jingpeng's ascension to the throne is also not good news for us. You two have been with your third brother or third brother longer than I do, and you should know better than me what his nature is. You won't object to me saying this, will you? ”

Qing Ziting and Lu Xi didn't respond, Tong Yuqing asked, "You came to look for us, you should have already thought of a way to deal with it, right?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan bowed his head and said, "No matter what King Duluo's ultimate purpose is, one thing is certain, that is, we have his person by our side, and this person is not only very familiar with us, but also very hidden. His father's so many rounds of cleaning did not allow him to show even the slightest flaw. ”

Lu Xi was shocked into a cold sweat and asked, "Why do you say that?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan asked rhetorically: "If this person is not familiar with us and the Lu family, how could King Du Luo think of taking advantage of the distrust between the eldest brother and his father and mother to instigate the eldest brother to rebel?" ”

Qing Ziting couldn't help but shudder, and Bai Qiaoxuan said again: "Now I am in the light, and the enemy is in the dark." No matter how we prepare, we are all passive. So what we need to do now is to lure the snake out of the hole and turn the passive into the active. I will ask my father to call the state immediately and make me the heir of the Overseers. I believe that once this earth-shattering news spreads, it will definitely stir up a thousand waves. So that we can brake with static and see which people and which are ghosts around us. ”

Lu Xi's eyebrows condensed slightly, "But in this way, you will completely become a living target exposed to King Duro." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled: "Do you think that now, I am not his live target?" Ever since I helped Yang Hao and Ye'er, I have been his inevitable prey. ”

Lu Xi was still very worried, Bai Qiaoxuan held her hand and said softly: "Don't be afraid." You should be glad for me, I have already guessed the purpose of King Duro, and guessing his purpose is equivalent to finding his weakness. Even if I'm not sure which of these weaknesses is the softest, it's much better than when I was looking for a needle in a haystack. ”

Tong Yuqing saw that he had made up his mind, and said, "I will appease the former Pudong nobles who I can appease for you at the same time as my father releases the news." Hear clearly, I can appease, not all, I don't have that certainty, like my father back then. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan laughed, "It's enough, if you can handle it all, then what else do you want me to do?" ”

Lu Xi's eyes darkened, Tong Yuqing could at least help, but she wouldn't do anything. Tong Yuqing saw her thoughts, and remembered Zhong Shunhua's words when she was dying, the person who would spend her life with Qiao Xuan was Lu Xi after all, and she could only face more things in the future than now, not less. If she can't cope with the current situation, then I'm afraid that she will suffer in the future. Thinking of this, Tong Yuqing said: "Xi'er, if you have nothing to do, you will invite more sisters, uncles or aunts who have known you since childhood to drink tea and chat in the next few days." You don't have to say anything in front of them, it's just business as usual. ”

Bai Qiaoxuan understood what Tong Yuqing meant, and said: "Xi'er doesn't have to worry about these things, she just needs to pay attention to her own safety." ”

Lu Xi hurriedly said: "I've been recuperating in the house these days, and you can't accompany me in the house, I'm not sick and I'll be sick, so you let me go out to play for a few days." ”

Tong Yuqing also helped on the side, "You see Xi'er also means this, she has never objected to your decision, should you also respect her decision?" ”

Bai Qiaoxuan had to agree, but still said: "Before we release the news, you can meet them wherever you want." But after that, you can only see them in the house, and you can't separate your dead soldiers, remember? ”

Lu Xi nodded obediently, and Qing Ziting smiled bitterly: "It seems that I can't help much." ”

Bai Qiaoxuan smiled: "Why can't you help?" You've done me the greatest favor. ”

Qing Ziting didn't understand what he meant, Tong Yuqing glared at Bai Qiaoxuan, and then explained to Qing Ziting: "From ancient times to the present, the real Outer Zen has only been realized between Yao Shunyu and the three of them, and the others are just usurpers covering their ears and stealing bells. Therefore, as soon as the father's power came out, few people would think that this was a Zen concession that respected the virtuous, and most people's first reaction must be that Qiao Xuan coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes. At this time, not only our enemies will be chaotic, but also those old ministers who are truly loyal to their father and loyal to the Lu clan will also be chaotic, even if they don't want to support the third brother, they won't want to support Qiao Xuan. ”

Qing Ziting asked, "Then will they still want to support me?" ”

Tong Yuqing bowed, "Although you don't ask about the world, but you are a descendant of the Lu clan with pure blood, why can't they support you?" This is what Qiao Xuan said you helped, you never thought about taking the position of Overseer, and you happened to be sick at this time. Qiao Xuan can take advantage of his illness to make them completely dispel the idea of supporting you, and they can only choose between him and the third brother. ”

Qing Ziting smiled: "I really didn't expect that the disease could be beneficial." ”

Tong Yuqing said to Bai Qiaoxuan: "I won't use Ziting's body to add chips to you, he will recover soon, so you have to move quickly." ”
