Chapter 151: Mr. Wei is here
One moment, Sima was still smiling, and the next moment, he suddenly became serious, he sighed softly, and said:
"Mr. Wei is still in Qifeng Town, and when he was found, he was recuperating from his injuries in a farmer's house."
Sima Cheng nodded, but there was a hint of eagerness in his eyes, however, this subtle change was also seen by Sima, but he didn't say anything.
"Although Mr. Wei was fortunate to escape the fire, but the smoke hurt his lungs, coupled with the haste of escaping, I heard that there is still an old disease in his legs, so it is not suitable to travel tirelessly, I secretly sent someone to protect him, and Mr. Wei will be taken to Luojing in due course." Sima continued.
Hearing this, the eagerness in Sima Cheng's eyes had disappeared, and he was thinking about how to tell Xue about this.
"However, Cheng'er, you need to pay more attention to these words when you tell Ji'er." Sima reminded.
"Mr. Wei is an important person of His Majesty, if he falls into the hands of others, I am afraid that he will become a tool to coerce His Majesty and incur death." Sima Cheng also thought of this.
"That's right, Sima Lie's minions may have spread to the palace, so you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and be careful of the right ear of the wall." Sima lowered his voice.
"My son got it." Sima Cheng replied.
At this time, Sima Cheng suddenly remembered Xue's sentimental appearance, she regarded Aunt Ning and Gonggong Jiang as relatives, and asked Wei Shuo's whereabouts from time to time in the palace, which showed their importance.
"However, according to his son's understanding of His Majesty, His Majesty may feel that Mr. Wei was injured because of him, and he will feel guilty, and he will want to see him even more."
Sima frowned, his eyes drooped slightly, his eyes sank, he was silent for a while, and said:
"That's right, Ji'er is an emotional person......"
Sima He didn't know Xue's thoughts, but now, not only Sima, but Sima Lie's subordinates were also conducting a frantic search for Wei Shuo, if it weren't for Wei Shuo's serious injuries now, Sima would definitely try his best to get him to the house as soon as possible.
"Has the prince checked Mr. Wei's background?" A glimmer of light flashed in Sima Cheng's eyes, and he thought of a solution.
"Haha, I was about to tell you...... This Mr. Wei......" Sima took a sip of tea, "He turned out to be from the palace." ”
Sima Cheng was slightly stunned, he wondered if Xue strongly requested, could he use the lack of manpower in the palace as an excuse to let Mr. Wei directly enter the palace and become an internal official, not only could they see each other from time to time, but they might also escape Sima Lie's arrest, who would have thought that he would hide people in the palace.
"What position did Mr. Wei hold in the palace, and why did he leave the palace?" Sima Cheng asked.
"Originally, he was just a handyman, because of some craftsmanship and literacy, and later he was transferred to the court office, in charge of the palace people, female workers' name books, it is said that he helped a pair of palace people who fell in love with each other to live and fly, and later was discovered, so he took advantage of the chaos to escape." Sima told the story.
"Did Mr. Nawei take in His Majesty back then because he knew His Majesty's identity?" Sima Cheng asked.
If Wei Shuo really worked in the palace back then, and he had a few encounters with Xue, so as to take in Xue, then things would not be so simple.
"I might have to ask Mr. Wei in person." Sima replied thoughtfully.
It is also reasonable for Sima Cheng to have such thoughts, and it can also be seen that Sima Cheng is not only thoughtful but also far-sighted, and has begun to have the demeanor of a celebrity.
What should have been happy, but Sima felt a little distressed, originally a carefree young man, but now he is suddenly in the center of power, seeing the darkness of people's hearts, looking at the changes in life, ignoring the beauty of people's hearts and life.
"I've also thought about this, but if he really has bad intentions, I'm afraid he would have already taken the line of Situ and offered His Majesty out, and he didn't have to suffer the pain of this meal."
Sima couldn't help but say good things for Wei Shuo, and also hoped to remind Sima Cheng of the true feelings between people.
"Moreover, the postman went to inquire in the area of the bookstore, and the surrounding shops said that the people have been in war for many years, and the civilians are not hungry, and the business of the bookstore is naturally not good, although Mr. Wei is poor, but he also treats His Majesty as his own, and sometimes you can hear laughter from the bookstore."
Although Sima said it with a smile, his eyes were full of distress and pity, thinking that when he saw Xue and saw her thin body, he guessed that she was not rich, but he didn't expect that she would be so poor.
Sima Cheng didn't speak for a long time, he didn't care about the past of Xue, today's young monarch was also worried about food and clothing in the past, and Sima Cheng was not a royal person, but he lived as the son of the royal family for many years.
The two are like lost children, now Xue has found his home, but Sima Cheng is still on the way.
"So Cheng'er, you have to take good care of Ji'er for me, if she has any temper, you can be more tolerant, if she has any wishes, you can help her more, although she is the emperor, but at the same time your imperial brother."
Sima Yu patted Sima Cheng's shoulder earnestly, his eyes were sincere, as if he had entrusted him with some important task.
Sima Cheng bowed and took Sima's order:
"My son got it."
Then, the two chatted for a long time about the big and small political affairs that happened in the palace, although they were chatting, but more often Sima was talking, Sima Cheng was listening to some extent, and only when Sima asked would he reply.
At the beginning, Sima Cheng let Sima Cheng enter the palace as Xue's personal guard, on the one hand, out of protection for Xue, Xue may be Tao Luoyang's only child in the world, and he will do his best to protect her.
On the other hand, it was also because Sima saw that his son, who had no intention of being attached to his reputation and status, and was unwilling to wade into the troubled waters of officialdom.
But as the son of the prince, Sima Cheng can't stay out of the matter completely, instead of letting him reluctantly make friends with those princes and nobles, it is better to send him directly to the center of power, and accompany the young monarch to grow up at the same time, it is also the process of Sima Cheng's own growth.
Moreover, Sima Cheng has seen the changes in Sima Cheng, and he believes that in the future, if one day he encounters an accident, Sima Cheng can protect Tao Luoyang's children for him, and he can also protect himself.
"Lord, my son remembered something, it was His Majesty's wish, and I asked the prince to allow my son to leave." Sima Cheng suddenly stood up, arched his hand, and said to Sima.
"Oh, I thought of it so quickly." With that, Sima put down the teacup.
……
Gradually, the sky has been inlaid with a layer of golden yellow, and the day is about to pass, and only snow is left in the East Palace.
Si Kui would go to ask the Queen Mother for a pulse every day before dinner, and the snow was not good for the Queen Mother's face, so he let him go.
Before dinner, Xue wanted to go to the study to see how to govern the country for a while, but before she could sit for long, she began to wander, and finally gave up altogether.
In this kind of idle day, Xue has no interest in political affairs, and lies down in front of the bookcase boredly, watching the sky gradually darken.
Xue remembered that when she was in the bookstore, she had to study ink, transcribe books, greet guests, supervise Wei Shuo, and help make paper at night, so she was very busy every day.
And now someone grinds it, and she doesn't need to transcribe the book, and it becomes someone else who greets her, but she is no longer free and happy.
Li Xuan, the son of Li Zhi, the servant of Shangshu, Fan Zheng, the nephew of Du Yu, the secretary of the ministry, Zheng Lang, the son of Zheng Li, the son of Zheng Li, the king of Zuomin Shangshu, Wang Su of the Gubian clan, and Cui Lin and Lu Yizhi, who have entered the court as officials, and there are also two sons of the Jiangdong Shi clan Lu Tong and Lu Jin, as well as the southern clans of the Jiangdong Hao clan Gu clan and the Lujiang clan Zhou clan.
They are Jin Yuze, the son of the Xiongnu military general in the Zudi army, and An Zhi, the son of An, the leader of the Lite caravan who regularly visits Dayu and surrounding countries.
When she became "Sima Ji", she tried to fill the time with various things, and at this moment, when she became a "princess" again, she realized that the time would be so long.
