16. Believe it or not

After Zhu Houzhao said this, he was silent, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, as if he was a little ruthless. After a long while, he said a little tiredly: "Forget it, it's useless to tell you this, the emperor should never have told you these words, anyway, you will never understand this." Let's talk about the first emperor, the first emperor favored Li Guang, and followed him to do some things to dip in alchemy, and naturally took a lot of gold pills, and he looked at his body well, but in fact, he couldn't do it inside. When he prayed for rain and fasted, occasionally sentimental typhoid fever, Zhang Yu hurriedly Liu Wentai, Gao Tinghe and others asked for a diagnosis and prescribed medicine, Liu Wentai had diagnosed Xianzong's condition before, oh, Xianzong was also a monk and a monk before his death, and the monk took a lot of pills, but he injured his body, and the body was hot, at that time Liu Wentai and Shi Qin and others wanted to treat it with the medicine of fire and cold, but in the end they were cold and not hot, Xianzong died of illness, Liu Wentai had a plan in his heart since then, the emperor had a seizure, on the surface it was typhoid fever, but in fact, he was also injured by the pill, if you had dealings with the emperor back then, It should be known that the first queen always has a dry mouth and often sweats profusely, Liu Wentai and others know that it is easy to treat typhoid fever, but it is extremely difficult to cure this fever, at that time they searched the ancient books, and saw the prescription of heat with heat, they discussed with the emperor, the emperor also agreed to give it a try, at first Liu Wentai and others did not dare to use too much medicine, only used a dose of eleven, but after the emperor took the medicine, the body was much better than before, so they were overjoyed, they used a fifty percent dose, but they did not expect the emperor to die of nosebleeds that night. ”

Ding Si listened to his words very fluently, and knew that he had also put in a lot of effort back then, and he had a little more affection for Zhu Houzhao, and then he heard Zhu Houzhao say: "The emperor and the queen mother were very close back then, so I didn't tell her about my physical condition and the drug test, but I didn't expect the queen mother to be haunted by it, and I still don't forget it after so many years." His eyes were like torches, and he stared at Ding Si tightly: "Ding Si, let me ask you, do you think Zhang Yu, Shi Qin, Liu Wentai and others really should be punished by the Nine Clans?" In this case, who still works in the hospital? Xianzong did not cure the previous emperor and did not cure Liu Wentai's crimes, if I really let people cut off their heads, do you think the first emperor will be blind in the spirit of heaven? ”

He asked a series of rhetorical questions so that Ding Si was speechless, just as Ding Si hesitated how to speak, Zhu Houzhao said lightly: "Zhang Yu, Shi Qin and others have died when they were in Rongbian, and now only Liu Wentai is left alive, but he has been incognito since he came back from the border, some people say that he has seen him near the City God Temple, and then there is no news, if you really want to check, go to check, after all, the Queen Mother asked you about this case, and you also have to give her an explanation, but, Ding Si, don't be preconceived, don't be emotional, guilty is guilty." Innocence is innocence, and sin not to be punished is not to be punished. He clapped his hands, and finally stood down from his seat, looking at Ding Si condescendingly, with an indescribable majesty.

Ding Si was not afraid, there was still an unfathomable calm in his eyes, but behind this calm, there were stormy waves that could not be concealed.

Zhu Houzhao didn't say more, slowly paced down the stone steps, walked straight out of the beast training ground, and finally didn't forget to turn around and say: "Remember my words, Ding Si, since you have been ordered by the Queen Mother, you can come to see me at any time, but you must make things clear, don't wrongly judge others." Your life is your life, and the life of others is also your life. ”

After saying this, he didn't look at Ding Si and strode out.

Ding Si looked at Zhu Houzhao's back in astonishment, he had prepared a lot of words before, but found that he couldn't say a word, although he and Zhu Youzhi were good friends, but he didn't know Zhu Houzhao at all. Ding Si felt as if he was in the jungle, he looked up at the empty beast training ground, and saw several little eunuchs hurriedly go to the cage to feed the tigers, lions and other things locked inside, lowered his eyes slightly, and also walked out of the beast training field.

When the sun was waning, Ding Si finally returned home, Ding Dewu went back early this day, and was muttering something with Guan Biyue, as soon as he saw Ding Si enter the house, he immediately stood up honestly and called his father, and then stood up in order.

Although Ding Si was full of worries, when he saw Ding Dewu, he still unconsciously turned his face and asked solemnly: "Why don't you see you at home often during this time, and what have you done outside?" ”

Ding Dewu hadn't replied yet, Guan Biyue had already grabbed it and said: "You are embarrassed to say Dewu, didn't you go out early and return late when you were catching fast food, you came out of the yamen, and you don't know about the yamen?" ”

was interrupted by Guan Biyue like this, Ding Si didn't want to blame Ding Dewu again, Ding Dewu saw that his father was not in high spirits, so he quickly retreated, and slipped out like a loach.

The spring breeze is warm, the spring flowers are beautiful, although it is twilight, he is still drunk with a sense of spring, but Ding Si does not seem to feel the atmosphere of spring, after Ding Dewu and Guan Biyue went out, he sat in front of the hall in a daze, his eyes were thoughtful, but he didn't know what he was thinking, it was getting dark, nothing could be seen in the room, he buried himself in the dark, motionless.

When Guan Biyue pushed the door in, Ding Sicai seemed to be alarmed, he was about to stand up, only to hear a "bang", Guan Biyue had already drawn the candle, and the darkness in the room was suddenly illuminated. Then she lit the candle again, and the room was a warm yellow. She smiled and put the candle on the long table in front of the hall, and sat on the chair next to Ding Si again. She didn't ask Ding Si why he was sitting alone in the dark, and just babbled: "Bo Cun is about to be four years old, I think he is really smart, maybe he likes to read like Devon." "Bo Cun is the son of Ding Dewen, and he has always been deeply favored by Guan Biyue, this child is really smart, and even Ding Si's serious people can't help but smile when they see him.

Guan Biyue's words were as soft as a spring breeze: "You said that Dewu didn't want to say kiss, and I don't know what kind of woman he liked, Devin had already married when he was so old, and I asked someone to help find a suitable woman two days ago......"

At this moment, Ding Si suddenly opened his mouth, and he spoke very quickly, as if he was afraid of being interrupted by Guan Biyue: "I want to do something." ”

The candlelight flickered, Guan Biyue's expression froze suddenly, and after a while, she asked helplessly, "Is it dangerous?" ”

Ding Si shook his head and nodded: "I don't know either, but I think I should do it." He said as if he promised: "Abi, when I finish this, I have no regrets, I will accompany you every day to enjoy the mountains and rivers." ”

Guan Biyue sighed softly, the wrinkles on her face seemed to have deepened a lot, she stood up, pushed open the window a little lonely, a crescent moon outside the window was already hanging in the air, she turned around, and said with resentment: "Okay, you be careful, don't forget what you promised me." ”

The spring breeze blows outside the window, and the petals on the branches fall one by one, like snowflakes fluttering.
