143 Congratulatory gifts
Wan Tinggong took the initiative to tell emotionally, He Zhizhou looked at her expressionlessly, only when she said that she hated to kill Mingyue, the beautiful phoenix eyes narrowed quickly.
"You're done?" Finally, he asked indifferently.
Princess Huanting's tears stopped abruptly, she looked at the man in front of her in a daze, suddenly smiled lowly, and said self-deprecatingly: "You are really very affectionate to me." It's ridiculous that I've been ......."
She thought that her crying tears and the curvature of her face just now were enough to impress any hard-hearted man, but in front of her, his heart was probably more ruthless and harder than iron-hearted.
Only except for the woman!
She is really lucky with that woman, and it is difficult for her to be lucky and not to be jealous or envious. Does she regret it now? Princess Huanting herself can't say, she has given almost everything for this man, the favor of her father, the pride of Princess Yanguo, her heart beating for him since she met him, and she has been inquiring about him for many years, just looking forward to one day reappearing in front of him in the most beautiful and eye-catching way...... But it ended up like this.
Who is to blame?
Can that woman really be blamed? If he didn't like that woman, it would be in vain to let that woman do as much as he could, but he just liked her, and he didn't need that woman to do anything, he liked her so strangely, and even didn't care about his own life for her. She should have admitted that she had already lost before she even played.
But she still likes him! Even at the moment when she made the final decision last night, she still failed to kill the woman, and what she said just now was not to lie to him, she really didn't want to see him sad because of that woman, so she let her go again.
Princess Wan Ting's swan-like neck fell down, she closed her eyes, the huge tears in the corners of her eyes slipped quietly, quietly dripping on the floor, she opened her mouth vigorously, and then said disheartenedly: "Don't hand me over to anyone, you kill me with your own hands." ”
This is her last wish in this life.
He Zhizhou raised his hand and knocked on a few tables beside him, and said lightly: "Although I really want to kill you with my own hands, but right now, Yan Guo and Daliang are negotiating peace. In the near future, the Yan Kingdom sent an envoy to Daliang, and I heard that it was your third emperor brother who led the envoy group to the capital, and he must be happy to see you at that time. ”
Princess Huanting has a feud with the three princes of Yan Kingdom, and the idea of handing her over to her own brother is more popular than killing her with her own hands.
The lord of the country trembled when she heard this, her eyes were full of despair and fear, but she laughed out loud, and suddenly cursed sharply: "He Zhizhou! He Zhizhou, I curse you for not dying well, and I curse you and that woman never to think about what you want to do! I curse you, with my life, my reincarnation of life and life curses you to die without a disease! ”
"Look for death!" He Zhizhou, who had been sitting steadily, raised his foot angrily and kicked towards Princess Huanting. His expression was cold and fierce, and his murderous eyes were stained with blood.
The kick hit Princess Wanting's chest, the force was not restrained at all, and Princess Wanting on the ground was kicked out by him, and slammed into the Bogu shelf behind her, causing the furnishings on the Bogu shelf to crackle all over the ground, and a long-necked blue and white vase fell, hitting Princess Wanting's head, and blood gushed out in an instant, staining her face with the skin of the bright moon.
Mingyue ran out of the inner room, just witnessed all this in front of her, looking at Princess Wanting who was lying motionless on the ground with a bloody face, Mingyue couldn't help but sigh lightly, and turned her head to look at He Zhizhou, "Why are you angry?" She said those things just to make you angry. ”
Princess Huanting angered He Zhizhou, but she was just begging for death.
Death in the hands of He Zhizhou!
He Zhizhou didn't intend to ignore her, but now he had to fulfill her.
He Zhizhou clenched his teeth and glanced at Hong Fei. Hong Fei hurriedly stepped forward and reached out to probe Princess Huanting's neck, "Your Majesty, she is dead." ”
He Zhizhou's face became even more ugly, "Death is death, drag it out." ”
He didn't look at Princess Wanting, who had a triumphant smile on the corner of his mouth, reached out and pulled Mingyue who ran out of the bathtub in a hurry, and took a clean towel to wipe her dripping hair very naturally, while not raising his eyes and ordered: "Tear off the skin on her face." ”
Even if she died, she couldn't die wearing Mingyue's face!
Princess Wan Ting was quickly dragged out, and Xiao Tan, Zi Wan and the others quietly cleaned up the house, lowered their eyes and quietly retreated.
Mingyue still didn't dare to relax, "Is the Imperial Doctor here?" ”
As he spoke, he wanted to pull his hair out of his hand, but he was still afraid of Princess Wanting's words, and he was afraid that the rag was really torn from the people who died of the plague.
"She's lying to you." He Zhizhou couldn't help but sigh, reached out and pressed her shoulder, not allowing her to struggle to dodge, "You don't want to think about how far the battlefield is from the capital, even if the corpse is not handled properly, someone is really infected with the plague, such an important matter, someone will report to me immediately." How can something I have never heard of be true? Besides, if the rag had really been worn by a plague man, and she took it in her own hand, she would not have been afraid to infect herself? Besides, she has just admitted that she is deceiving you. Peace of mind, don't think about it. If you really can't rest assured, just wait for the doctor to come and treat you. ”
In the end, it was still after the imperial doctor came, and after treating Mingyue, he checked the rag that was said to be infected with the plague, and announced that it was actually a soiled rag, and Mingyue was not infected with the plague, so Mingyue was completely relieved.
"Princess Huanting is the princess of Yan Kingdom, and she died in Daliang like this, does it really matter?" Mingyue couldn't help but ask He Zhizhou worriedly.
"This is the Regent's Palace, it is in the territory of Daliang, after killing someone, the corpse was destroyed, who knew that Princess Huanting died in Daliang and died in my hands?" He Zhizhou said, "Even if someone knows and comes to question me, do I have to admit it?" Anyway, I haven't seen any princess Wanting, and you haven't seen it either, there has never been any princess Wanting in the palace, understand? ”
Mingyue was stunned and looked at his natural and righteous appearance, and was speechless for a long time.
He Zhizhou looked at her stunned appearance, pinched her little chin funny, and said casually: "What are you afraid of, even if Emperor Yan knows that I killed his daughter, what can he do to me?" Now it is he who is in a hurry to make peace, and it is me who takes the initiative, believe it or not, he won't even mention her daughter's matter? ”
In the face of his country and life, what does it matter whether a daughter lives or dies? What's more, this daughter has brought him so much trouble.
Mingyue listened to what he said so lightly, although she also knew that Princess Huanting, who had been blackmailing her, was not wronged, but she still couldn't help but feel stuffed, but she also knew that this matter was not He Zhizhou's fault, nor was it her fault, it was Princess Huanting's crazy obsession with He Zhizhou that led to her final death. And this fate was begged by herself, and it can be regarded as a blind death.
……
In the blink of an eye, it was winter, and the envoy group of the Yan Kingdom arrived at Daliang after a long journey.
As the host of the envoy group, Marquis An launched a peaceful, friendly and fierce and wonderful negotiation and interaction with the three princes of Yan State, and Yan State was willing to maintain peaceful coexistence with Daliang, and was willing to sign a peace treaty for 100 years on the spot. It's a pity that An Xiaohou Ye was unmoved, even if the three princes of Yan Kingdom later proposed conditions such as land reparations, An Xiaohou Ye was unmoved, and there was only one condition for Daliang from beginning to end, that is, Yan Guo was asked to hand over Mingyue's mother, Hua Concubine.
The third prince of Yan Kingdom naturally knew how powerful Hua Concubine was, and he refused to agree to this condition, so the two sides were at a stalemate, and they were about to collapse.
At this time, Emperor Yan, who was thousands of miles away, sent a letter to the three princes of Yan State quickly, saying that Yan Guo was willing to unconditionally agree to all the conditions proposed by Da Liang!
The three princes of Yan Kingdom were taken aback, and intuitively felt that there was something wrong with their Lao Tzu, all the powerful weapons in this world combined were not as good as a person in the Yin Clan, as long as there was that woman in his hand, why didn't Yan Guo worry about a day when he turned over?
However, Emperor Yan seemed to have made up his mind and would not allow anyone to refute his decision, and even released the imprisoned Hua Concubine immediately.
The three princes of Yan Kingdom signed an agreement with An Xiaohou in a hurry, and rushed back to Yan Kingdom overnight after a little rectification.
When Mingyue heard about this whole thing, she couldn't help but ask He Zhizhou curiously, "What did you do to Emperor Yan?" ”
"Remember when I borrowed your elite squad from you?" He Zhizhou comfortably hugged Mingyue's waist and kissed Mingyue's pink cheeks with thin sweat, "They are already masters of assassination, I just let them sneak into Emperor Yan's bedroom with your secret weapon, shoot a concubine every day, and quietly put it next to Emperor Yan." Every day, he sees a concubine with a bloody hole in his chest lying next to him, do you think he will be afraid? He was even more afraid that the next time that terrible blood hole would appear on him, he was reluctant to die, so he was naturally willing to agree to any conditions. ”
Mingyue didn't expect him to use such a method, and he didn't know what to say for a while. After thinking about it, he still said convincingly: "Emperor Yan loses to you, there is nothing to be ashamed of, my royal brother is the most powerful." ”
He Zhizhou was slapped all over the body by her sycophant, kissed her again with a smile, and hit Mingyue ambiguously, "Where is your royal brother the most powerful?" ”
Mingyue's face turned red thoroughly, and she glared at him angrily, "It's getting more and more improper." ”
He hurriedly asked him, "Is my mother safe now?" When will I get to the girder? ”
Although the mother-daughter relationship between her and Hua Concubine is only mediocre, Hua Concubine is her mother in this life, and she still hopes that Hua Concubine can rush to Daliang when she and He Zhizhou get married, and it is good to let her see her marry with her own eyes.
He Zhizhou's eyes that were still smiling suddenly disappeared, he stroked Mingyue's long hair, and under her expectant gaze, he considered and said, "Your mother refuses to come to Daliang." ”
Mingyue frowned, "How did you say that?" Did she have somewhere else to go? ”
She couldn't help but think of that Mr. Lin again, I wonder if Concubine Hua's refusal to come to Daliang has something to do with him?
"Do you remember Mr. Lin who wanted to take you to Yan Kingdom to see your mother and concubine while he was in chaos?" He Zhizhou also mentioned that Mr. Lin came, "It was he who sent you a letter and made people intercept it." I took a look at it first, and he said that your mother insisted on staying in Yan Country in order to avenge the blood of your people. “
Mingyue looked at He Zhizhou with a blanket face, "She, with her own strength, how can she repay the blood feud?" ”
"Naturally, she won't be alone." He Zhizhou analyzed with her carefully: "Hua Concubine can successfully reach Yan Kingdom, which naturally has the help of Mr. Lin and the people behind him, that Mr. Lin and the people behind him, even if they are not from the Yin Clan, they also have a great relationship with the Yin Clan, so they will wholeheartedly arrange and plan for your mother to go to Yan Kingdom, but they themselves did not expect that Hua Concubine was targeted by Emperor Yan as soon as she arrived in Yan Kingdom, and took advantage of him to take away and hide Hua Concubine when he went to Daliang to take you away. ”
Thinking about it, Hua Concubine also suffered a lot in those days, and she hated Yan Guo to death, but she was forced by Emperor Yan to draw those bed crossbows and thunderbolt fire bombs, but now that she is finally free, she still wants to take revenge, and it is the most important thing to leave quickly to protect herself! While thinking about it, Mingyue despised that she had no sense of family honor, and she did not have the same mood as Hua Concubine who wanted to kill Emperor Yan and collapse the Yan Kingdom.
"What does Mr. Lin mean by sending me a letter?" Mingyue asked He Zhizhou with a tangled face, "Do you want me to help my mother avenge the clansmen?" ”
"Quite the opposite." He Zhizhou chuckled, "This Mr. Lin is also very interesting, first he did everything to let your mother know that they have the ability to help your mother concubine avenge the clan, but now he has written to ask for help, begging you to help persuade your mother to give up revenge and leave the land of right and wrong in Yan Kingdom as soon as possible." Because your mother refuses to listen to him, you have to stay in Yan Kingdom. ”
Mingyue continued to sluggish, "...... Isn't the current situation in Yan Guo not very good? ”
He Zhizhou was very satisfied with her being so sluggish but still able to maintain her keen intuition and judgment, "Emperor Yan was frightened by your elite team and fell ill, I heard that it has been lingering on the sickbed for a long time, Yan Guo is the same as Yun Guo, because Emperor Yan feels that he should be old and strong, and has always refused to establish a prince, his eldest son has been given to death by him, and the sons below naturally do not obey anyone, and the ministers are also in trouble, asking for the chief, asking for the virtuous, in short, they are all busy jumping non-stop." At the same time, they all know the ability of your mother, and they also know that the temporary peace between Daliang and Yan is for the relationship between your mother, and they naturally dare not have the idea of imprisoning your mother like their Lao Tzu, so they are naturally competing to please your mother, so that your mother can be used by them and become a great help for them to compete for the crown. I heard that your mother is maneuvering among them, and she is very comfortable. Now there are two princes fighting for her throne, and one of them stabs the other to death with a sword...... I guess your mother concubine is under the guise of making the Yan Kingdom completely civil strife, so she refuses to leave the Yan Kingdom. ”
Mingyue was shocked when she heard this, "In this way, isn't she very dangerous?" ”
"So Mr. Lin will write to you to ask for help." He Zhizhou concluded, "It must be that Mr. Lin also thinks that it is inappropriate to go on like this, and when the princes of Yan Kingdom wake up from the madness of fighting for the prince, I am afraid that the first person to suffer is your mother." ”
Mingyue couldn't help but gasp, frowning in distress, "It's impossible to persuade her to give up revenge." ”
She knows better than anyone how stubborn Hua Concubine is, when she was a child, she tried all kinds of methods in order to please Hua Concubine, but Hua Concubine made up her mind to ignore her, and even on a rainy day, she could calmly turn around and leave. Mingyue once suspected that she was not born to Hua Concubine, but she looked too much like Hua Concubine, so she had no way to doubt it.
Hua Concubine made up her mind not to accept favor, she could anger Emperor Xia and make him refuse to set foot in her palace for ten years, and if she made up her mind not to get close to her, she could watch her young and weak struggle to make a living under the hands of Empress Xiao and Changle. Now that she has made up her mind to avenge the extermination of the Yin clan and refuses to leave the Yan Kingdom, it is useless to persuade anyone.
"Forcibly take her away?" He Zhizhou asked casually, he was not the slightest interested in other people's affairs, if it weren't for Hua Concubine is Mingyue's biological mother, he wouldn't have written to her about Mr. Tilin at all.
Mingyue moved in his arms, "It's useless, before the goal is achieved, even if she is forcibly taken away from Yan Kingdom, as long as there is a chance, she will still run back." That Mr. Lin must also know her temperament, so he wrote to me to ask for help, otherwise he would have taken her out of Yan Country himself. ”
"Then there's no better way." He Zhizhou couldn't help but say, "It's better to let your mother concubine do it, leave your elite team by her side, ensure her safety, and take her back to Daliang once Yan Guoshi is over, what do you think?" ”
"That's all it can be." Mingyue nodded in agreement.
……
It was almost at the end of the year that Huang Hongfei returned to the capital from Gangzhou.
When he arrived at the palace, it was already evening, just in time for He Zhizhou to return from the palace, Mingyue beckoned people to put on the hot pot, and was about to enjoy the snow and eat the pot with He Zhizhou on such a snowy day, and Huang Hongfei, who was like a snowman, appeared in front of them like this.
Mingyue was very surprised, and hurriedly asked people to add dishes, so she warmed the wine herself, and pulled Huang Hongfei to sit down and talk.
Huang Hongfei kept hurrying day and night, and before he felt that the aroma of food had penetrated into his nose, he couldn't bear it anymore, and he didn't care whether it was the more and more serious Ninety-Five Zun sitting opposite, so he grabbed the chopsticks and ate it in a big gulp.
After he had eaten four or five minutes full, he put down his chopsticks and talked to Mingyue.
This time, his master and sister did not come to the capital with him, saying that he had been out for too long, and he missed Shan Jianfeng very much, and wanted to return to Shan Jianfeng for the New Year, "I just came back to tell you, Gangzhou has already arranged it, and I have also beaten them to ensure that they don't dare to use their brains again." I also want to rush back to Shan Jianfeng, I have been spending the New Year with my master and mother for so many years, and I am not used to leaving them. ”
said with a smile: "Xiao Zhou, my sister likes you very much, so I have to invite you to go back to Shan Jianfeng together." also said that you once promised her to go to Shan Jianfeng once - Shan Jianfeng has never been an outsider over the years, so it can be seen that my master really didn't treat you as an outsider, how about it, don't you appreciate your face? ”
He invited Mingyue in front of He Zhizhou with a frank expression, which made He Zhizhou depressed, and he couldn't even have a seizure - people are so frank, if he still shows a look of mindfulness, he will inevitably be scolded by Mingyue for being stingy.
He thought about it for a while, and said lightly to Mingyue, who was busy scalding vegetables with his eyes slightly lowered: "This is also your first year with me. ”
The implication is that in the first year they were together, how could she abandon him and run away with someone who had nothing to do with him?
Mingyue looked at him helplessly, even if he didn't say it, she wouldn't leave him to go to Shan Jianfeng, and he didn't know why he thought she would follow Huang Hongfei to Shan Jianfeng.
"Xiao Zhou entered the palace in the future, I'm afraid I won't even have a chance to leave the palace." Huang Hongfei stared at He Zhizhou very dissatisfied, "But just this time, you won't let Xiao Zhou go?" ”
He Zhizhou frowned, and his face sank suddenly. He didn't speak, just looked at Mingyue.
Although he promised that he would try to take Mingyue out to play more in the future, but everyone knows how much water this guarantee contains, as the king of a country, as long as he doesn't want to become a faint monarch who is despised by the world, he can't help but do whatever he wants, he has lost the freedom to do whatever he wants, how can he make that promise to Mingyue? From this aspect, He Zhizhou is actually very guilty, especially he knows that Mingyue is a freedom-loving person, and his dislike and unwelcome of Huang Hongfei can't be hidden.
"It's not that he won't let me go, I don't want to move myself." Mingyue smiled gently, "The snow is too big, I'm afraid of the cold, and when it comes to such weather, I just want to stay in the room and not go anywhere." ”
After a pause, he smiled apologetically at the dissatisfied Huang Hongfei: "I'm going to live up to your kindness with my teacher." But if I really have the chance, I will definitely visit Shan Jianfeng. ”
Huang Hongfei pursed his lips, "I knew you would say that." ”
As he spoke, he took out a small white jade porcelain vase from his arms, but it was for He Zhizhou, "I mentioned to my master about the backlash of your jade washing magic before, if he doesn't treat the old man in time, you are likely to lose your mind and go crazy because of it." Presumably these days you are also taking medication to control your emotions? Master said that your medicine must be a symptom but not a cure, and this is the medicine that cures you at the root. Eat if you can trust it, throw it away if you can't believe it......"
After a pause, he looked very reluctant, "If it weren't for Xiao Zhou's sake, I wouldn't have begged that old man." ”
Mingyue then remembered the strange situation of He Zhizhou, who had been repeatedly split and smoked for a while, and her face was full of worry, it was also that there were too many things that had happened these days, and He Zhizhou had never smoked it repeatedly, and she had forgotten about it.
Hurriedly took the small porcelain vase, and said to Huang Hongfei gratefully: "Thank you, and Master, we naturally trust you and Master." Has Master explained anything else, such as are there any dietary taboos? ”
"Nothing else." Huang Hongfei glanced at He Zhizhou defiantly, "Do you dare to eat?" ”
He Zhizhou calmly took the porcelain bottle in Mingyue's hand in front of him, opened it and poured out a pill with the aroma of cold plum, and threw it into his mouth without hesitation.
An Kang once went back to Qiankun Gate to ask for help from the master in charge, and the words he brought back were exactly the same as what Huang Hongfei said. An Kang did bring some pills back, and the master in charge said that he could only control his emotions temporarily, and the whole Qiankun Sect was trying to find a cure, but he didn't want this problem to be solved by Huang Hongfei.
Huang Hongfei's face suddenly looked a lot better, "This is my wedding gift to you." ”
He smiled and said to Mingyue, "You also know that I am poor, and I can't afford to give it to others, I hope you won't think my gift is too shabby." ”
"How so?" Mingyue sincerely thanked him: "This is the best gift we have ever received." ”
Huang Hongfei was in a good mood, laughed twice, picked up the chopsticks again and ate and drank, "Fragrant, fragrant, another glass of wine!" ”
On the day Huang Hongfei left, Mingyue was originally going to send him, but he refused, he was as uninhibited as when she first saw him, "Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end, no need to send it, this snow is falling so hard, frostbite is not a joke." You take care of yourself, and there will be a period later. ”
But in fact, probably they both know in their hearts how slim the chances of meeting again in the future are.
He didn't wait for Mingyue to speak, he just looked at her and grinned, like before. Then he strode away, faster and faster, and in the vast white, his figure faded away, and finally he could no longer be seen.
Mingyue watched it, and her tears finally couldn't hold back and slowly slid down. In this world, there will never be such a chic, happy and clean Huang Hongfei again. Her best friend, who may never see her again in this life.
Xu knew that Huang Hongfei's departure would make Mingyue unhappy, He Zhizhou did not stay in the palace to deal with government affairs for the first time this day, and turned back after the morning dynasty, accompanied Mingyue to enjoy the snow and cook wine, racking his brains to make her happy.
"I forgot to tell you something, yesterday I went to my aunt's house and talked to her for a while." He Zhizhou said slowly and logically with Mingyue.
Hearing him mention Mrs. An, Mingyue was busy with her spirits, and asked a little nervously and expectantly, "What did you all say?" ”
"My aunt was a little unhappy, saying that your health had already recovered, why didn't you refuse to go to Xiaoyaohou Mansion to see her old man, and said that she did something to make you unhappy, so she refused to come to the door."
Mingyue smiled bitterly, stared at He Zhizhou's eyes and said, "What you should know is not that I refuse to go, but that I am afraid that her old man will not welcome me to go." ”
She lowered her head, her expression a little gloomy, "Actually, I can understand her thoughts." ”
"I'm thinking too much." He Zhizhou said softly: "Aunt confessed to me, she did feel a little uncomfortable, but it was not because of you, and these days, she has also figured it out, it was not your fault that something happened, it was all because I didn't protect you, seriously, the saddest person is you." How can she bear to blame you? It's just that she is an elder and loves face, she didn't figure it out before, she felt a little awkward when she saw you, but now she has figured it out, but you refuse to come to the door, and she is afraid that you will blame her in your heart, and it will not be good to come to see you, so let me apologize to you on her behalf. On Chinese New Year's Eve, she will come to the royal mansion, you let people prepare, what does her old man like to eat? If there's anything you don't know, just ask Aster. ”
Ming Yue saw that He Zhizhou's expression did not seem to be fake, and there was no need for him to coax her, so he nodded happily, at this time he only thought about how to behave on Chinese New Year's Eve, but left the worries of Huang Hongfei leaving behind.
