Chapter 551: The Old Man Passed Away
After hearing that King Shou and King Yong's soldiers attacked the imperial city in two ways, Emperor Li was shocked, and at the suggestion of Li Qi, he led the ministers and concubines of the palace to avoid the Liangyi Palace.
The sound of killing outside the hall continued, accompanied by the sound of gold and iron clashing. It wasn't until he heard the voices of the Jingning County Lord and the Jiangnan Jiedu envoy from outside the hall that Emperor Li breathed a sigh of relief.
instructed Zhang Ke to send the chamberlain to open the palace door and welcome the two inside.
"Wechen is late to save the car, and I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins." The two knelt down in unison and bowed to Emperor Li and said loudly.
When the words fell, Emperor Li waved his hand with joy on his face, exempting the two of them from being polite, and his tone was gentle, "Why should the two Aiqing be polite." This time, you have saved the driver, and when things are settled, I will be rewarded. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"What about King Jin? Why don't I see him? Looking out of the door, Ye Linchen was still missing, and Emperor Li was inevitably displeased, "Why didn't he come to see me." ”
Glancing around, the county lord of Jingning took a step forward, "Back to Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the King of Jin is taking people to the Xuanwu Gate to meet the rebels." At this time, the rebels are already clearing up the city. ”
As soon as the words fell, Emperor Li was overjoyed. The two of them looked back at Emperor Li's gaze, only to see Ye Linchen, who was dressed in armor, striding in, kneeling down on one knee with a talisman in his hand, and saluting Emperor Li.
"The son was ordered to quell the rebellion, and the rebellion has been decided, and now the tiger talisman will be returned to his father." As he spoke, Ye Linchen held the tiger talisman in both hands and held it high above his head.
"Good boy, you've worked hard all the way, hurry up." Emperor Li, who was beaming with joy, stretched out his hand to help Ye Linchen up, and when he caught a glimpse of blood stains on his armor out of the corner of his eye, his tone was concerned, "How are you hurt?" Zhang Ke was stunned, what are you doing here, don't you hurry up and send the imperial doctor to treat Linchen's injuries. ”
Hearing this, Ye Linchen shook his head and said softly: "Thank you for your concern, my son's son is just a little flesh and blood injury, and it is not a big deal." When he saw that his father and mother were well, he was relieved. ”
"It's good, it's good, it's worthy of being my good son, and he has the demeanor of me. Before the situation is decided, the army in Beijing will be deployed by you. As for those rebels...... "Emperor Li smiled, and his face was gloomy, "must be taken down all of them, and if there is any stubborn resistance, there will be no forgiveness." ”
"The retainers obey."
The rebels were all taken down, and Emperor Li naturally breathed a sigh of relief and said softly to Ye Lin, "Okay, Linchen, you must not have had a good rest in this day and night." You go down and rest first, and let the doctor take care of your wounds for you. ”
"Father, there are still many aftermaths outside the palace that need to be taken care of by the sons. It's not too late to wait for Erchen and Marquis Li to hand over and then go to rest. The two Hui Guifei on the side of the void looked at each other and nodded to each other.
"Hmm. Where are the two traitors now? Emperor Li looked at Ye Linchen approvingly, "The two of them are extremely evil, and they can't let them have any mistakes." ”
"Father and Emperor, the sons have already imprisoned these two in solitary prison to wait for your fate."
"You're doing a good job, let's go get busy with yours first. I'll go see the two traitors again in a few days. After glancing at the outside of the hall, Emperor Li's tone was cold.
"The retainers retired."
"Your Majesty, the concubine will help you go back to rest." As soon as Ye Linchen left, Concubine Hui slowly walked to Emperor Li's side, "You haven't had a good rest in the past few days, you have to rest well when you go back." ”
Hearing this, Emperor Li patted Concubine Hui's arm, and there was a smile in his eyes that couldn't be hidden. I can't help but think of the appearance that when I heard that the rebels were attacking the city gate, Concubine Hui resolutely stood in front of her despite the threat, not afraid of life and death. Thinking of this, Emperor Li's eyes were a lot gentler, and it was his luck to have such a beloved concubine and beloved son.
Although Ye Linchen was taking care of the mess, he still remembered Xie Yaoguang in his heart, and sent people to Penglai Palace from time to time to inquire about the situation.
At this moment, in Penglai Palace, Xie Yaoguang woke up slowly, looked at Gu Qingzhi who was sitting next to the bed, and whispered.
Hearing this, Gu Qingzhi looked at Xie Yaoguang with a happy expression, and a trace of joy flashed in her eyes, "Thank God, you are awake." Auntie, I've heard about Zhuo Jing...... You. ”
"Qingzhi, I know what you want to say." Xie Yaoguang raised his eyes to look at Gu Qingzhi, his black and white eyes were full of autumn water, "But how can I not be sad?" In fact, I can know a little bit about what Zhuo Jing has been thinking all these years, but for me, he is a brother and a friend of life and death. When I found him, I didn't really report much, hoping that he would choose to continue to follow me, but I didn't expect him to choose to believe in me and be willing to accompany me on a dangerous and unknown road. ”
When the words fell, Xie Yaoguang closed his eyes and sighed, tears overflowed from the corners of his eyes uncontrollably, and the words fell down his face.
"My Fair ......"
After silently calling Xie Yaoguang, Gu Qingzhi's lips were speechless, and she didn't know how to comfort Xie Yaoguang for a while. But since Xie Yaoguang entered Beijing, everything Zhuo Jing has done is in her eyes, although the Zhuo family has been favored by the Gu family and sworn to be loyal to the Gu family for the rest of their lives, but what Zhuo Jing has done has long exceeded the scope of loyalty.
"I was only five years old when I first met him, and he climbed onto the roof and didn't know what to do. I saw someone on the roof sneaking up while my grandmother wasn't there, and he fell clumsily in front of me. When I asked him what his name was, he told me that his name was Zhuo Jing. After that, when Mama came, I ran away and didn't have time to ask him where he lived. As if thinking of something, Xie Yaoguang closed his eyes and chuckled, "I found out that he was Uncle Zhuo's son after many inquiries." You also know that my grandfather has always been strict with me, and I don't have any friends other than you, so it was easy to find a playmate, so I simply broke into the Gu family's secret hall and secretly played with him. ”
"So you've known him since childhood?" Gu Qingzhi asked.
Hearing this, Xie Yaoguang shook his head, "It should be counted." But that time, after I was greedy for a while, I touched the agency and alarmed a group of secret guards, and this matter was naturally known to my grandfather, who punished me to copy the family motto. Later, I sent him a letter before I was ordered to enter the palace...... It wasn't long before I saw him once, and he changed so much that I didn't even recognize him. When I saw him again, it was already two years after the Gu family rebellion. ”
At this point, Xie Yaoguang's eyes filled with tears again, she had never seen this hard-won playmate since that incident. But she seemed to feel someone watching her every time she went home, and one time she forced the mysterious person behind her to appear. Although it was only a quick glance, he could vaguely guess who it was. When asked Uncle Zhuo in private, he answered vaguely.
After looking at Xie Yaoguang for a while, Gu Qingzhi stretched out her hand and patted the back of Xie Yaoguang's hand gently, and her tone was gentle, "Auntie, the matter has come to this point, you are so sad." I'm afraid that Zhuo Jing won't feel at ease when he leaves......"
"Uncle Zhuo was ordered by my grandfather to protect me from life, if it wasn't for Uncle Zhuo's desperate death, I wouldn't have survived, but...... Zhuo Jing. Xie Yaoguang coughed a few times and choked up, "He died entirely because my plan went wrong." Originally, I wanted to lead King Shou away in person, but I didn't expect him to go for me, and I didn't expect that in order to complete the task, he would even report to Linchen regardless of his own life. I don't want him to fulfill his promise...... I just hope to live well, so I can go to Jiuquan and Uncle Zhuo to see them. ”
