Chapter 271: Qiu Mu (4)
"I don't care, you make it clear to me as soon as possible, if you have the intention of going to find Liang Wei, I will open the city gate now..."
Rong Ying's words were not finished, because he knew that Xinyue knew that he would not do this.
Xinyue half-squatted down and leaned over on Rong Ying's lap, "I won't go looking for him, he is our enemy now." β
Rong Ying heard Xinyue say this, and her heart finally let go, "Yes, he is the enemy of our great saint." β
"But..."
Rong Ying froze holding Crescent Moon's hand, but still waited for Crescent Moon to finish saying this, but "However, I want to write a letter to him." β
"Liang Wei, this time it's not for you, he's been waiting for this opportunity for a long time. First, he came to avenge his grandfather, and he also wanted to take the opportunity to get some benefits from the Great Sage, at least in the several states around Yanzhou, he would definitely not be able to keep it..."Rong Ying analyzed Liang Wei's intention for Xinyue, he had always known since he ascended the throne that Liang Wei would have a fight with him sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to come so soon.
Xinyue didn't speak, just listened to Rong Ying's words, the two of them stayed so quietly, Rong Ying also bowed down tiredly, and said to Xinyue, "I really, think about these things too simply." β
"You've done a great job."
"If Jinling is lost, what face do I have to see my great holy ancestors and ancestors."
"Do you really think you owe them an account?"
Rong Ying shook her head, "I don't think so, I just can't swallow this breath." β
Xinyue smiled, and Rong Ying nodded Xinyue's nose, "You can laugh at this time." β
"Who told you to say these high-sounding things all the time, and you don't really think so."
"I'm justβ" Rong Ying grabbed Xinyue's hand, "You can also go to the Eastern Capital." β
"We've already talked about this topic, and I'm not going." Crescent's tone was firm.
"If the city is broken, I will definitely be the target of everyone, and you can be justified in supporting Lian'er in the Eastern Capital."
Rong Ying felt a pain in his face, this was not the first time Xinyue had beaten him, but this time, restraint used his strength, "It's not enough to get to this point." β
"I'm not afraid of such a day, I just don't want you to have anything to do."
"Don't worry, Liang Wei won't let me have anything to do." Crescent straightened up and met him.
"Yes, he won't" Rong Ying's eyes darkened and he lowered his head.
"So, since I'm fine, then you can let me stay with you." Xinyue held Rong Ying's face, "Rong Ying, I have never looked at you so closely, so seriously." But at this time, I really figured out the feeling that the Queen Mother told me. β
"What does it feel?" Rong Ying raised her head slightly, allowing Xinyue to see more clearly.
"It's the kind of thing that looks into the eyes of a loved one...", as she spoke, the new moon rubbed Rong Ying's eyelids, "It's so beautiful." β
Rong Ying lowered her eyebrows, a little shy, "You said, I am your beloved." β
"Well, you are"
"What? When? Rong Ying asked a little eagerly.
"Well... It should have been a long time ago," said Xinyue, looking at the scar on the back of Rong Ying's hand, "This should be left behind when you blocked Wang's dagger for me." β
Rong Ying lowered her head, also saw the wound on her hand, and then nodded, "It should be." β
"It should be this time. Until then, I had always thought that you were a person who only cared about yourself, but that day, you really didn't care about anything and grabbed the dagger. β
"It turns out that you were tempted by me so early" Rong Ying smiled, revealing his true feelings, he was like a child who got very little, but when he got a little, he was very satisfied, "However, I was tempted by you, and I moved earlier." β
"Then you should love me more" Saying that, Xinyue leaned over and kissed Rong Ying's lips, and then she immediately stood up, turned around and was about to leave, but was pulled by Rong Ying and hugged from the back, "You've given birth to children, how good are you still so shy." β
"Alright, let's go back and rest for a while, it's almost dawn." Xinyue took Rong Ying's hand, Rong Ying didn't speak, but followed Xinyue and walked out of the study.
The heavy rain was still falling, Xinyue was holding Rong Ying's arm, Rong Ying was holding Xinyue's hand tightly, and the other hand was holding a palace lamp, and the two walked forward slowly.
"This rain, if we can have a little longer, maybe we can hinder Liang Wei for a while, but I think that when the weather is clear, we will compete one day earlier, and the winner will be determined one day earlier." Rong Ying looked at the rain and said to the new moon.
Crescent Moon nodded, "It's time to come, it's always coming." β
Although Lian'er is not yet old enough to participate in political affairs, he still knows exactly what happened in his heart, but the master asked him to calm down and ignore what was going on outside the window.
Getting up early, Lian'er stood at the door of Xinyue's room, not knowing whether to go in or not.
Xi'er came out of the inside and saw Lian'er standing at the door, it had just rained in winter, and it was very cold in the morning, Xi'er immediately pulled Lian'er forward, "Your Highness, it's so cold outside, why don't you come in." β
"Aunt Xi, are both father and queen mother?"
"Your Majesty hasn't yet, Niangniang has already gotten up, you come in quickly, it's almost time for breakfast." As he spoke, Xi'er took Lian'er's hand and walked in.
Xinyue had just finished her makeup, and when she turned around, she saw Lian'er standing by the door, Xinyue's eyes were deep, and she beckoned to Lian'er, "What are you doing standing under the door?" Come here. β
Lian'er stepped forward and walked to the side of the new moon.
As soon as Xinyue touched his hand, it was cold, and immediately asked people to put the brazier beside him, "Come, roast the fire." β
"Mother, son..."Xinyue saw Lian'er unable to say what she thought.
Xinyue frowned, "If you have something to say, tell the queen mother." β
"Queen Mother, does the son need to worry about the affairs of the previous dynasty?" Lian'er really didn't let Xinyue worry, and bluntly expressed her worries.
Xinyue smiled: "Master Xiao should have told you everything." β
"Yes, my son just wants to know, son, what to do."
"Then you say, what are you going to do?"
"Son, son is the eldest child of his father, he has to take care of his younger brothers and sisters, and he also has to take on the things that a prince should bear."
"Not bad," Crescent nodded, "Then why bother with it if you know how to do it?" β
"Mother, I, I don't want this. I just want to be who I used to be, a carefree little kid. I'm afraid, I can't afford this. Lian'er's voice had begun to tremble, and her eyes were still glistening with tears.
"Lian'er, don't cry" said, Xinyue held Lian'er in her arms and said, "Lian'er, in front of you, with your father and mother, there are still hundreds of thousands of soldiers outside who are dying for our great saint." We're all in front of you dolls. But if so, the father and the queen mother are gone..."
"Queen Mother" said, and Lian'er began to cry.
Xinyue hugged Lian'er, "Good boy, the father and the queen mother will be fine, and you will always grow up one day, this tall man will always have more support than a short person." β
"Mother, I'm afraid" Lian'er said what was in her heart, fell into Xinyue's arms, and hugged her tightly.
"Don't worry, the queen mother is still here, and the queen mother will always be with you until you can take on your responsibilities." Xinyue couldn't bear to cry in Xin'er, so she softened her tone.
And Rong Ying stood behind for a while, hearing Xinyue say this, she reached out from Xinyue's arms and pulled Lian'er out a little roughly, "Don't cry." β
Rong Ying's voice was low, but with persistence and calmness, Lian'er stopped crying and looked at Rong Ying.
The father and son looked at each other, and Rong Ying said, "Remember, you are a man." It's not your mother who protects you, it's that you have to protect your mother no matter what. Also, as a prince and my eldest son, you also have a responsibility to protect those who stand behind you. For the sake of the king, for the sake of the son, you can't cry anymore. Hold back your tears and grit your teeth. As she spoke, Rong Ying held Lian'er's shoulders tightly,
Lian'er felt the pressure, but he looked at Rong Ying and nodded, "Yes, yes, my son remembers." β
Xinyue wanted to hold Rong Ying, but she found that although Lian'er felt a lot of pressure, he seemed to have more courage, he stood behind Rong Ying, looked at Lian'er, Lian'er stretched out her hand, took the hands of the two people, and said word by word, "Father, mother, son wants to be with you." β
"No, you're going to the Eastern Capital." Rong Ying refused.
"Yes, not for you this time. In three days, you will have to take your younger brothers and sisters, follow the concubine and the concubine, and go to the Eastern Capital. Xinyue also rejected Lian'er's request.
Lian'er knelt on the ground, "If the father and queen mother don't agree, the son will..."
"Lian'er, your sister, I still need you to protect you." Xinyue squatted down, eye level with him, and Lian'er couldn't say anything.
"That's it." Rong Ying made a final decision, Lian'er thought for a moment, and then nodded, "My son knows." β
"Let's go, breakfast is ready, and after eating, I have the strength to think about the future."
The three of them sat at the dining table, Shuyu was also held by the nurse, sitting in front, Rong Ying reached out and touched Shuyu's cheek, "This every day I see Shuyu, it's different." See you today, I think she's a little fatter again. β
"Yes, this little child, who is getting older and older day by day, should already be able to walk by the time we pick her up from Dongdu again." Xinyue sandwiched a meat bun and put it on Rong Ying's plate, Rong Ying didn't have much appetite, but looking at Xinyue and Lian'er, he knew that if he didn't eat it, the two of them would definitely not be able to eat it, so he picked up the bun and ate it in two bites.
Lian'er sandwiched a chopsticks and melon vegetables to Xinyue, "Queen Mother, your favorite." β
"Yes, I like to eat this melon dish in the morning, sweet and salty, and it is best served with porridge." Xinyue touched Lian'er's head, "You can taste it too." β
The three of them had a simple breakfast, Lian'er went to the study, Rong Ying also went to discuss politics, and in the Kun Palace, only Xinyue was alone.
She sat at the desk, looking at the blank letter in front of her, she said that she wanted to write a letter to Liang Wei, although Liang Wei objected, but in the end it was tacit, but she couldn't write a word.
After a while, she simply folded the letter in front of her, put it in the envelope, and called Xi'er.
"Niangniang, what did you say?" Xi'er didn't believe what she heard, so she asked Xinyue to say it again.
"I said, you can send this to Liang Wei." With that, Crescent Moon stood up from her desk with a sigh of relief.
"Niangniang, at this time, you wrote a letter to Emperor Liang, how can Your Majesty know it?"
"He knows that if he wants to read the contents of the letter, go ahead, you should have a way to send it out." As he spoke, the new moon, who had not slept all night, lay back on the bed and sighed deeply.
Rong Ying looked at the letter on his desk, which read the words "Liang Wei personally enlightened", which was Xinyue's handwriting, and this was also the letter that Xinyue wanted to send to Liang Wei. The letter had been sitting here for an hour, but he hadn't decided whether to open it or send it out.
"Your Majesty, what are you looking at?" The minister found that Rong Ying was in a god, and Rong Ying immediately returned to his senses, "It's okay, it's okay." β
"Yes, Your Majesty, what do you think of the method you just said?"
"No, the construction of fortifications in front of you will not be long in the future, not to mention the cost of labor and money..."
After a long day of deliberations, Rong Ying put her hands behind her head a little tiredly, but she still saw the envelope on the bookcase at a glance, reached out to pick it up, and then called the princess to "go, give it to the person written on the letter." β
"Yes" The princess walked out with the letter in his hand, and Rong Ying looked at the front in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
One day at a time, another day at the Golden State.
Liang Wei changed his usual pro-conquest, this time he just sat in the back camp of Yuguo, and the soldiers had just sent a letter in, at this time, the letter that Xinyue gave him was in his hand, Liang Wei looked at Xinyue's words, and frowned.
"Where did this come from?"
"Back to Your Majesty, I sent it directly from the Great Holy Palace."
"Written by the Emperor of the Great Sage?"
"I don't know." The soldier looked embarrassed, and did not know who had written the letter.
Liang Wei turned on the light and saw that there was stationery in the envelope, he tore open the envelope, took out the letterhead, and smiled, but there was not a word on it.
Then, Liang Wei understood what Xinyue meant, and then laughed, "Xu Xinyue, Xu Xinyue, you want me, how can I be good to you, only you can think of such a way." β
Liang Wei unfolded the letter paper, there seemed to be the fragrance of the Crescent Moon Palace on it, the fragrance was faint, like that smart woman, always hanging on the corner of the smile, Liang Wei lowered his head, looked at the map on the case, and said to the soldiers who were waiting for the order, "Pass the order, and then pull forward fifty miles, within ten days, I want to see Jinzhou to change chess." β
"Yes"
After the soldiers left, Liang Wei put away the envelope.
Crescent Moon gave him a blank piece of letterhead, with a very simple intention, that is, he could write on it what he wanted. She wanted to know her true purpose, and then she was ready to pay that price.
But Liang Wei sank his heart and muttered, "Xu Xinyue, you really take yourself too seriously, not everyone doesn't love this country, what I want has always been in the world, and everything I want in the world is in my hands, including you." β
