Chapter 171: The Indifferent and Ruthless Palace Man
When the emperor told Wanjun the news, he was first very happy, and then felt that this matter was not so simple. Grandpa Wei agreed to deal with this matter so easily, presumably to lure the snake out of the hole.
The more Grandpa Wei wanted him to come out, the more unmoved he became. His wishful thinking was wrong. He wanted to see what Wei Zhongxian wanted to do, not what he wanted to see us do.
The emperor was a little unbelievable, and even more aggrieved. He spent so much effort to intercede with Grandpa Wei, but he said that he didn't care.
He stood up and stared into Wanjun's eyes and asked, "Du Wanjun, you asked me to go to Gonggong Wei at the beginning, but now you don't care about it?" ”
He was angry and always felt like he had been tricked.
"Your Majesty, do you really think that Grandpa Wei will agree to you so easily? Who is he? How could you entrust such a big matter to you? ”
He saw that the emperor's face was pulled up to his neck, and thought, isn't this person brainless? I can't see it. Who does he think he is? Did Gonggong Wei really regard him as the emperor?
"Father-in-law Wei personally said that I will supervise this matter, and they all listen to me, and he is only responsible for receiving my dispatch!"
He is still very stubborn, his whole face is huddled together, and the angry look is really incomprehensible.
But only he knows that he is happy and confident that he can accomplish this. He thought that he was about to be recognized by everyone and that he was about to end his puppet life. But Wanjun's attitude knocked him back to the prototype, and he was still the fake emperor who was useless.
"Your Majesty, think about what this matter means to Grandpa Wei? Whether he is a member of the Donglin Party or not, he will not let him go. And he also got you involved, what do you say he has in mind? ”
He patiently told the emperor, but he was afraid that he would not listen to it and figure it out, and finally died in vain for this matter.
"Du Wanjun, you just don't trust me, if you want me to say, you are afraid that this matter will involve you. Don't worry, I won't let you get involved! ”
His angry eyes could not be calmed, and after he finished speaking, he slammed Wanjun's shoulder and left.
Wanjun was at a loss for a moment, and he stood in place. My mind was full of what he had just said. Did he really never regard him as an emperor? Didn't you even be a friend?
No wonder he was so angry, he just wanted to show it once, he wanted to do something he had to do, he wanted to really fit in with them and be friends with them.
He stood still, as if the world had stopped. His mind was in a mess right now, and he didn't know if he was doing it right or wrong.
Just when he was sad and remorseful about this, Concubine Shu quietly walked behind him.
She stood behind for a long time, and Wanjun was not only not far behind, but was still in a daze.
She coughed in the back, but her cough didn't wake him up from his dementia at all. She was still wondering, what the hell was wrong with him?
"Du Wanjun, what's wrong with you?"
She shouted behind him.
"Huh? What happened? ”
He suddenly came to his senses, looked around for a moment, and saw that there was no one.
"It's weird, there was a sound just now!"
He muttered to himself as he turned and walked out the door.
It didn't matter if he turned around, but Concubine Shu didn't have time to dodge, and hit her all at once.
She quickly pushed him away and shouted, "Du Wanjun, what do you want?" Do you want to knock me to death? ”
"Huh? Lady Niangniang, when did you come? ”
He asked, surprised.
"I came a long time ago, and I didn't bother you when I found you pondering something!"
Reluctantly, she walked over to the stool and sat down.
"Wanjun, what's wrong with you? Seems to have something on mind? ”
She looked at the colorful phoenix picture on the table, and she didn't blink her eyes.
"No, it's nothing, I just remembered it, I remembered my parents, and I was in a fugue for a while!"
His hands were buttoned up and then clasped together, looking desolate and uneasy.
Concubine Shu naturally saw that what he was thinking just now was not this, but he didn't want to say it, and she didn't want to ask more.
She came here for only one purpose, that is, to ask him if the emperor had gone to find Gonggong Wei.
She asked Wanjun to sit down and speak.
He sat down, smiled awkwardly at her, and then picked up the teapot to pour water.
"Wanjun, did the emperor go to find Gonggong Wei?"
When he heard Concubine Shu's words, his brain felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his mind was full of the uneasy state just now.
But he didn't notice that the tea in the teacup was already full, and the water kept overflowing from the teacup.
"Wanjun, Wanjun!"
Seeing that the water was overflowing, Concubine Shu looked up at him again. It was discovered that he had fallen into dementia again.
"Wanjun, Wanjun!"
She hurriedly shouted.
"Huh?"
After he heard Concubine Shu's words, he first glanced at her. Seeing her eyes looking down, he followed.
"The water is full?"
She quickly stopped pouring water, and looked at the table full of water, and he was a little embarrassed.
He sat down uneasily, looked up at Concubine Shu, and asked, "What did you just say?" ”
"Let me ask you, did the emperor go to Gonggong Wei about Xia Dong?"
She said.
"He went!"
His hesitant eyes were difficult to contain, and when he looked at Concubine Shu, he still couldn't calm down.
"Then what does Grandpa Wei mean?"
She asked nervously, worriedly.
"Grandpa Wei agreed!"
He replied in disappointment.
"Great, great, as long as Grandpa Wei agrees, then this matter will be easy to do!"
She looked at him happily and said.
She was so happy, but she couldn't see Wanjun's happiness, but he still had loss and panic on his face.
"Wanjun, what's wrong with you? It feels like you're weird today, is something going on? ”
She also began to fall into a deep uneasiness with him, she worried about him, worried that something had happened to him.
"No, nothing!"
He said.
"Wanjun, then why are you unhappy when you hear that Gonggong Wei promised the emperor?"
She asked.
"Happy, how can you not be happy?"
He grinned, and immediately fell into infinite sorrow.
"Wanjun, although I don't know what happened, I'm really sad to see you like this!"
She looked at him and said.
"Do you think I'm cold and ruthless, and I've never thought about others?"
He asked as he suddenly raised his head and looked into her eyes.
"Huh? This, how can you suddenly ask that? ”
She asked, surprised.
"I just suddenly feel that I am too cold and ruthless, except for Spring and Autumn, it seems that I have never cared about anyone!"
His depression deepened, his eyes filled with tears, and his sadness made him confused and made him doubt himself.
"Aren't all the people in the palace like this? You think that's all you have? So do I. It's just that after a long time, you will become numb, I have felt this way before, but soon you will get used to it! ”
She could totally understand how he felt. Suffering from gains and losses, helplessness, anxiety, panic, in short, a person who has no relatives and friends around him, and his lover is nowhere to be found, he should be sad and uneasy.
But who stimulated him, she didn't know. But he had to learn to grow up and get over it.
"But I'm still very uneasy, and this kind of psychology has been there since I entered the palace. It has been with me all the time, and has accompanied me through countless dark days. I was scared of it, and as soon as it did, I couldn't sleep and started thinking cranky! ”
He picked up the teacup and drank the tea from it in one gulp, turning it restlessly.
"Wanjun, you know what? Anyone will have a period like yours, but everyone feels differently and spends a different period of time. But you believe that you are not wrong, others are not wrong, and it is this kind of psychology that is wrong! ”
She hoped to comfort him so that he would not be cranky, let alone immersed in this matter all the time.
"Concubine Shu, I don't know if I can get over this hurdle, maybe it's because I miss the Spring and Autumn Festival too much!"
He put down his teacup, got up and walked to the door, opened it, and it was already dark outside.
......
Xia Dong sat on the straw mat, looking up at the shallow moonlight shining in the small window, and his heart
It's a little more comfortable.
When he was Zuo Chunqiu, he didn't die several times, but he became Xia Dong, but he made him so embarrassed. He really didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
"I don't know what Wanjun is doing now? Do you miss me in the moonlight? ”
He was originally melancholy, but soon showed a faint smile.
"He must be thinking about me, otherwise how could there be such a beautiful moonlight?"
But even if he misses Wanjun and the invisible moon, he is still more sad than happy!
"Benefactor, have you slept?"
Liu Er asked next door.
"Nope!"
He stopped thinking about it, and he stopped looking at the moonlight.
"Benefactor, if it weren't for you, we would have died a long time ago, and now we can still talk to you, thanks to you!"
He said gratefully.
"Benefactor, it's just that we don't know what happened to our wives and children, if they are still alive, please tell them that we love them very much, and we will watch them from another place!"
He smiled slightly sadly and glanced at the moonlight in the window.
"This may be the last time we've seen such beautiful moonlight!"
With that, he closed his eyes, tears rolling down his cheeks.
"What are you talking nonsense? We will all get out alive, no one will die, none of us will die! ”
He ran to the railing, clasped his hands on the railing, and poked his head out to see them.
"Liu Er, Liu Er, don't do stupid things, I don't need you to save me, I can get out, and I will save you out!"
After he finished speaking, he didn't hear Liu Er's response, he was a little scared, and shouted: "Liu Er, you speak, speak quickly?" I don't allow you to do stupid things, you don't! ”
He didn't know what stupid things they were going to do, so he could only scream and cry.
His cry was heard by the jailer, who looked inside from the door and shouted, "What shouting?" Don't you sleep? ”
Liu Er wiped away his tears and forcibly refused to let the tears flow. He swept his gaze over each of his brothers and asked tragically, "Brothers, are you ready?" ”
