Section XII

Zhu Yuqing, who was leaning on the side of the bed and napping, woke up suddenly. When she opened her eyes, she didn't know what was going on, and in a daze, she said that it was already dawn, but it was still dark all around. She shook her head, which was still a little drowsy, and suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother had been assassinated, and her husband had not returned from going out, and she was a spirit, and she could still sleep there. When I reached out and touched it, I found that I was wearing a thin blanket on my back. She was sure in her heart and called, "Amin, is it you?" ”

It was so late, Xiaohui and Xiaoyun had already been called back by her to rest, and it was impossible for ordinary people to break into the third floor casually. The thin blanket on her body must have been put on by her husband. Just screamed but no one answered, she was still a little worried in her heart, but she heard the sound of "whirring" around her, as if someone was panting. She was startled, and quickly touched the fire fold next to her, lit it, and lit the candle.

It was dark in the room, and Wu Ming was sitting cross-legged on the bed. Lift your left foot to the base of your right thigh, with the center of your foot facing the sky, and your right foot resting on the base of your left thigh, which is also the center of your foot facing the sky. The left and right hands are naturally resting on the legs, and the palms are also facing the sky. His eyes were closed, and his entire head was slightly raised towards the void. Although Zhu Yuqing doesn't know martial arts, he has been married to Wu Ming for three years, and he naturally knows a little bit about martial arts. Knowing that this was Wu Ming's unique way of meditating, she hurriedly lifted the blanket and stood up lightly.

As soon as he put the blanket on a chair, he heard her husband's wheezing getting louder and louder. She glanced at Wu Ming who was hovering on the bed with a little worry. At this time, Wu Ming was at a critical juncture, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, which became denser and denser, gradually gathering into beads the size of beans, rolling down his resolute cheeks. And his facial muscles were shaking violently, and although it was early autumn, his whole body was boiling hot as if it was rolling in boiling water in winter. Zhu Yuqing looked nervously, and his ten fingers had already turned white. If she hadn't known that Wu Ming couldn't be disturbed now, she would have screamed a long time ago.

Suddenly, Wu Ming's whole body was shocked, he let out a long breath, the hand resting on his legs slowly retracted, and then opened his eyes a little dejectedly. Zhu Yuqing saw that her husband was very tired, and she was very distressed, so she walked over and said: "Ah Ming, don't be reckless in your practice, you always talk about Captain Xiao Yang, but you often make this mistake." ”

Hearing his wife's voice, Wu Ming's heart warmed, and he sighed and said: "The spirit of a person is a peak before the age of thirty, if you don't reach the ninth stage before the age of thirty, there will be no way to stabilize your qi and blood, and in the future, the spirit and spirit will slowly drain, and people will gradually age, let alone impact the realm of the grandmaster." Now that I'm spending eighty of my twenties, if I can't make a breakthrough in the past two years, the way of the Grandmaster will always be just an ethereal and illusory dream for me. ”

This is the wine Taoist priest personally told him, the wine Taoist generation of grandmasters, naturally it is impossible to use words to deceive him. The years have no trace, and seeing time pass quietly like quicksand, he is inevitably a little anxious.

Zhu Yuqing climbed onto the bed, took out a silk scarf to wipe the sweat on Wu Ming's forehead, and comforted: "What you think in your heart, how can I not know?" But didn't you yourself say that after the seventh stage, every small step is all about chance, let alone the ninth stage? If you force your impact like this, it will only backfire. She sighed, but her face darkened.

When Wu Ming saw her appearance, he thought that his wife was worried about his body, so he couldn't help but grab her hand: "Madame's words, dare not obey your orders, and obey your husband's orders in the future, so don't be afraid." ”

This joke passed, but Zhu Yuqing didn't laugh, he still looked sullen. Wu Ming was puzzled, patted her thin shoulders and said, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhu Yuqing raised his head, but his big eyes were full of tears: "Ah Ming, they all say that life is a hundred years, but my body, every day I accompany you, is happiness, I really don't dare to do more extravagance." ”

Looking at her sad face, Wu Ming couldn't help but hug her tightly, and blamed: "Didn't you say it, we are still young, and you will definitely find a solution to the hidden dangers of your body." As he spoke, he clasped his wife's hands with his backhand and said softly: "Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son." ”

Zhu Yuqing bit his lip and muttered, "Holding the hand of the son, growing old with the son?" Fool, I'm just an ordinary person. Shaohua is fleeting, red face is easy to age, and in a few years, I will start to grow old slowly. And you are a martial artist, once you reach the grandmaster, your lifespan is several times that of ordinary people......" In the candlelight jump, her lips were even more strangely moisturized and vivid.

Although she said it lightly, the two of them could be said to have their ears and temples grinding, Wu Ming naturally heard it clearly, and suddenly his whole body was shocked, and he almost froze. couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes for his wife, and said with relief: "What do you want to do so much, there is really a day when I live next to you, and I will be together as well?" ”

Zhu Yuqing was greatly frightened, "Ah Ming......" Wu Ming stretched out his index finger and put it on his wife's delicate lips, preventing her from continuing, "Okay, now we have three chapters of the law, and no one is allowed to mention this issue in the future." Besides, even if you're too old, you're still my old baby. ”

If this sentence is placed on the earth in the 21st century, it can only be regarded as a very ordinary ambiguous word, but it moved Zhu Yuqing so much. She lay in her husband's arms, unable to cry.

The two sat on the bed like this, silently feeling each other's body temperature and heartbeat. After a while, Zhu Yuqing suddenly remembered tonight's events, and hurriedly asked: "By the way, Niangniang was assassinated today, nothing major happened, right?" ”

Wu Ming shook his head and said, "It's okay, Niangniang didn't hurt a single hair." Seeing that his wife was also relieved, he thought about it, and finally said: "Xiaoqing, I suspect that the prime minister is behind this assassination case." ”

Zhu Yuqing was startled, and hurriedly struggled to get up from Wu Ming's arms, sat up straight and said, "Won't it?" If the father wants to replace the mother, he doesn't have to wait until now, and he doesn't have to make this decision at all. No, no, definitely ......not" She was so sure, and there was another reason why she didn't say it, that is, Xiao Tianzi was her nephew, and on this basis, her father would definitely do his best to assist her mother.

When I looked up, I saw my husband looking at her, and there was concern in his eyes. Her heart sank, and she almost wanted to tell Wu Ming the truth. But after thinking about it, the words came to his lips and swallowed back. Tang Wei's true identity, Ah Ming didn't hide it from himself, but he hid the identity of Xiao Tianzi, isn't he a little sorry for him?

Now Ah Ming and Brother Tang only know the identity of the little princess, but they don't know that Xiao Tianzi is the flesh and blood of the Zhu family. On the contrary, the father and the mother knew the little Tianzi well, but they thought that the little princess had already died. I'm afraid I'm the only one who knows this complete secret now. You must not sue Sù Amin, she secretly admonished herself. She knows a lot about Wu Ming's character, and once she lets him know, God knows if she will make any abnormal moves, and it will be easy to cause trouble.

Forget it, instead of making him uncomfortable with me, it's better for me to hold it in my heart alone.

Just as he was spinning his thoughts, Wu Ming continued: "I thought it was unlikely at first, but then I found out that this matter could really be done by the Prime Minister. ”

Zhu Yuqing naturally understood her husband's character, since he said so, he must have found conclusive evidence, and hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

Wu Ming told his wife what he saw and heard tonight, and Zhu Yuqing frowned slightly when he heard it. When Wu Ming finished speaking, she still looked thoughtful. He said softly: "Ah Ming, are you wondering, even if you want to find a reason for the war, you can't make such a stabbing case." A bit adventurous? ”

Hearing his wife say this, Wu Ming was stunned, and then said: "Exactly, does Xiaoqing understand the key inside?" This is exactly what he hasn't figured out until now, hearing Zhu Yuqing ask, he also became interested, and said secretly: "Xiaoqing is really smart, even I can guess what I think in my heart." ”

Zhu Yuqing continued to frown and said, "This is knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger." Alas......"

"Knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger?" Wu Ming muttered. Seeing her husband's dazed appearance, Zhu Yuqing analyzed: "In the past few years, the court has been pressing, and the father has retreated again and again, and the two of them are like fire and water. My father did this, just to warn her mother from the side, to let her restrain herself a little and not ......go too far."

Hearing his wife say this, Wu Ming suddenly realized. Yes, although the imperial court looks calm on the surface, it is turbulent secretly, and there are constant small movements between the emperor and the prime minister's party. The war together definitely requires the unity of the court. Zhu Huai was worried that Tao Yu would drag his feet when he used troops against the five central and western provinces, so it was reasonable to use this method to send Tao Yu's army as a warning.

At this time, Zhu Yuqing yawned, and his big eyes narrowed slightly. Wu Ming said a little distressedly: "Okay, I don't want to." Xiaoqing, go to sleep. ”

Tucked the quilt for his wife, and Wu Ming also lay down. But his heart is still spinning on his own. It's been three years, and in the past three years, Zhu Huai and Tao Yu have been fighting happily in the court. If he had fantasized about Zhu Huai'an being a virtuous minister before, now he can be sure that Zhu Huai is an ambitious hero. Otherwise, it would be impossible to restrain Tao Yu everywhere in the court, and even warn Tao Yu by such a strong means as assassinating the Queen Mother. But the two sides fought and fought, but most of the time Zhu Huai was forbearing, and he also handed over part of the rights to Tao Yu. In recent years, the power of the emperor and queen party has risen sharply, although it is still much inferior to the prime minister, but above the court, at least it can be spoken.

It's just that why does the prime minister have to tolerate his mother in many ways? This is at odds with his shrewd and resourceful temperament. He always felt that between the mother and the prime minister, there must be secrets that he didn't know. But let him break his head, he still can't get the point.

This time, the prime minister made such a big battle, I hope it can really make the mother restrained. I don't know what this queen mother will think.

As the rank gets higher and higher, and the power in his hands gets bigger and bigger, he feels more and more lonely, Tao Yu, Yang Xiong and his wife are becoming more and more estranged, Zuo Ying's backlash, Yang Yi and Ge Yi must be respectful when they see him. Although he stopped his wife from continuing tonight, his heart was as heavy as iron when he thought about it now. If, as Xiaoqing said, this life is also tasteless.

"Great wisdom, great courage, great compassion."

"Great compassion, great compassion, great compassion......" In the darkness, he couldn't help muttering, squeezed the hilt of the warm Chixiao sword, and let out a long sigh.
