Helan Chu glanced at the finely carved box, nodded and said, "Put it down." ”

The attendant put down the box, but retreated.

Helan Chu opened the box, took out a golden thing from the silk cloth lined inside, and put it in front of He Suji, "Mother, do you remember this thing?" ”

The moment she saw that kind of thing clearly, He Suji's eyes suddenly widened in astonishment, and then her eyes turned red, her throat choked, and she couldn't say a word.

I saw that it was a simple gold earring. The crescent-shaped earrings form a near-closed ring with the hook-shaped studs, and a delicate plum blossom is embedded in the junction between the stud and the earrings. Because they are well preserved, the whole earrings are shiny as new.

He Suji stretched out her slightly trembling hand and picked up the gold earrings, calmed down for a while before she spoke: "Isn't this the day of the day...... The gold earrings I wore when I was separated from the rebellion? …… Unexpectedly, this other one turned out to be in your hands......"

Helan Chu's eyes were slightly red, and he nodded and said, "This was found by the grass by the people who went out to look for their mother at that time. When the child gets it, he keeps it well, and whenever he misses his mother, he will play with it. Now, it's finally time to return it to its rightful owner. ”

He Suji held back her tears and smiled, took out something wrapped in sheepskin from her arms, and unfolded it on the table, only to see that there was also a gold earring inside, and she took it out and put it together with the one that was already on the table, it was exactly a pair! It's just that the one He Suji took out seems to have not been wiped for too long, and it has been weathered, and it is a little deformed and black. It looks old.

From the earrings that looked old, Helan Chu once again saw his mother's upheaval and hardships in the past 20 years. Holding back the sourness in his nose, he put a pair of earrings on his hand and put them in his palm. Feeling the cold temperature, it took a long time before letting go.

"Mother, let the child put it on for you."

He Suji nodded with tears in her eyes. Take off the turquoise earrings she was wearing, and let Helan Chu help her put on the pair of gold earrings one by one.

The moment he saw his mother put on the gold earrings, Helan Chu seemed to feel that there was a corner in his heart that was always empty, and suddenly it was complete.

"Your Highness, please stay, Your Highness, please stay......"

"I can't go, I can't go......"

Just after lunch that day, there was a commotion in the Qingquan Palace. Most of the palace people in Qingquan Palace were kneeling and begging around a person in the corridor, and tears were about to come out.

Ashina, who was surrounded by the palace people, had his hands behind his back indefinitely. Hold your head high, a look of displeasure. He was silent, but when he saw a little gap in the road ahead, he stepped forward, until more and more people knelt down in the palace around him, and he didn't even have a place to lift his feet.

"Your Highness. Concubine Yun is lying ill and doesn't want to see anyone, so she asks His Highness for forgiveness! ”

"Exactly, once Concubine Yun gets better, she will immediately go to see His Royal Highness and ask His Highness for mercy!"

"What's so remarkable?" Ashina's voice sank indefinitely, like a tiger's roar before coming down the mountain: "Isn't it just a rash on your face?" A manly man, even if he has thousands of scars on his face, what can he do?! If you minions dare to stop me again, don't blame me for being rude to you! ”

The palace people who were still begging didn't know. Ashina is really polite at this moment. If it weren't for Li Yunshen's hospitality, many of them would have been injured and couldn't get up on the ground by now.

Suddenly, a loud thunderbolt stopped the palace people's pleas.

When the palace people, who were frightened by the sound around them, opened their eyes and followed the sound, they saw that a thigh-thick cedar railing beside them had been kicked and broken, and the broken one flew out. The top beam that was implicated next to it seemed to be trembling slightly just now, and the beam above didn't know if it would be affected. Looking back at the place where Ashina was standing indefinitely just now, it was empty, and he couldn't even see his shadow.

Many palace people looked at the broken railing with dumbfounded eyes, their minds were almost blank, and all they could think of was that the repair fee that Qingquan Palace would have to pay for a period of time in the future must be quite high. The palace people who knew that they had to continue to catch up with Ashina indefinitely in case something bigger would happen, and they almost had to hold on to the wall to support their trembling legs.

After Ashina suppressed the annoying minions indefinitely, he strode to the door of Li Yunshen's bedroom, pushed the door with both palms, and the two false doors were pushed around half a circle, and slammed on the walls on both sides with a "pop".

"The guy who has stored good wine! The guy who has stored good wine! Ashina strode across the threshold indefinitely, took square steps, and a gust of wind crossed the inner hall, came to the inner room, and stared at Li Yunshen's bed with round eyes.

"Good guy! Obviously there is nothing going on, but he is hiding here and pretending to be sick! Are you stingy with your wine, afraid that I will drink your wine again?! Ashina scolded with an indefinite smile.

"His Royal Highness has misunderstood." The man lying on the bed lifted the brocade quilt on his body and sat up, smiling with a smile, "The wine of this palace can be tasted by the royal husband's face, and it is really a great honor for the palace to win the favor of the imperial husband, how can this palace be stingy?" Hongu has indeed been sick for a few days, and today his body has just improved. It is really a capital crime to neglect the royal husband in the past few days. ”

The man had fluffy hair and was dressed in a white silk shirt lined with an inner line, although he was a little tired, his smile was as warm as the rising sun, and the skin on his face was white and red, not to mention the rash, not even a single acne mark, it was Li Yunshen.

At this time, the palace people who caught up also followed, knelt beside the bed one after another, and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that both of them had smiles on their faces.

Ashina crossed his waist indefinitely, and said with a toothy smile: "It's obviously a drink together, you see that your little empress is fine, you are an old man, and you will actually drink sick." I think you're lacking in exercise, so drink more with me and you'll be cured. ”

Li Yunshen said with a smile: "Although this palace is a big husband, how dare he compare with Her Majesty the Glorious Empress?" However, as long as the royal husband has orders, the palace will accompany him at any time! ”

After Ashina strode away indefinitely, Li Yunshen took out something wrapped in silk cloth from his side, rubbed it in his hand, and asked the kneeling palace man: "When the palace was sick, who came?" ”

After several palace people looked at each other in surprise, they said: "Back to Your Highness, Your Majesty came in person yesterday and said that you would come to celebrate Your Highness's birthday." Knocking on the door and not seeing His Highness respond, His Majesty was worried that His Highness would have an accident, so he asked Lord Scarlet Feather to kick open the latch of the door, and His Majesty came in alone. When she came out, she also asked the villain not to disturb His Highness's rest. Now His Highness does not know about it, it seems that he fell asleep at that time. ”

Li Yunshen listened, his smile couldn't help but condense slightly, he squeezed the thing in his hand, and was silent. He never expected that Zuo Ying would know his exact birthday, and he didn't announce it early, but waited until the day to give him this surprise - and he really felt the slight joy after being stunned at this moment.

Another slightly older palace man continued: "Your Majesty also left many valuable gifts to reward His Highness, and said that when His Highness recovers, he will make up for His Highness's birthday banquet." Forgive the villain, the villain has been in the palace for many years, and he has never seen a Majesty who is so considerate and doting on his concubines, and now His Majesty loves His Royal Highness Concubine Yun so much, which is really gratifying. ”

Li Yun pondered for a moment before revealing a warm smile and said, "It seems that at that time, the palace was really asleep, and I failed Your Majesty's good intentions. When the palace is cleaned up, I will definitely go to Weiyang Palace to thank and apologize. ”

Walking on the stone road, scorched by the scorching midday sun, the two officials hurried through one gate after another, and entered the council office of the inner court of the palace.

One of the two officials had a sallow complexion, and the other had a reddish-brown complexion. The sallow man was dressed in a four-grade court dress, his figure was thin and straight, his face was thin and slender, and a few long beards hung down to his chest, which was quite a bit of a fairy style. The one with a reddish-brown complexion, dressed in the official uniform of a seventh-rank petty official, attracted the strange eyes of many guards, and if it wasn't for the token in his hand, he would definitely be turned away from the gate. He is short in stature, with very convex eyebrow bones and a round and thick nose, and his appearance is quite weird, but his steps are like flying, his eyes are like electricity, and his temperament is good.

After the waiter at the door asked for his identity and intention, he reported loudly: "Counseling the doctor Dong Lin and the crossbow general Tuoba Shou ask to see——"

Hearing that someone inside responded to the "pass", the two of them sorted out their clothes, restrained their appearance, and walked into the council office with respectful steps.

Without squinting, the two of them came to the desk in the center of the hall. They recognized that the person sitting behind the desk, with a majestic and handsome appearance, was Taishi Helan Chu, so they knelt down together and said: "The lower official advised the doctor Dong Lin and the crossbow general Tuoba Shou to see the Taishi. ”

"You two don't need to be polite, please get up and speak." Helan Chu got up and came to the front of the two, "Do you know what is the reason why you were called here today?" ”

The two of them thanked themselves and got up. Dong Lin, the doctor from the fourth grade, arched his hand and said: "Taishi, forgive the official for speculation, but for the disaster relief of the Yongding River?" ”

Helan Chu bowed his head slightly and said, "Exactly." I wonder what the two of you think? ”

The two glanced at each other, each showed an agitated look, and invariably arched his hand and said, "Xiaguan is far away." ”

Helan Chu didn't show joy for the two of them answering. He said in a deep voice, "I don't need you to answer so quickly. Disaster relief supervision is not a beautiful thing, and don't mistake it for a good opportunity for promotion. You may go through all the dangers, offend the powerful, and have great responsibility. Once it is not handled properly, or if it is not caught, it may be a capital offense, or even the nine clans. Have you ever thought about it? ”

Helan Chu saw that the two of them were silent for a while, and then said: "If you feel that you are not up to the task, this seat does not want to trust no one. You can think hard before you answer. ”
