Chapter 114: Farewell
He Qi hurried to the palace with Yingzi, but at the gate of the palace, he was stopped by the soldier.
"On the orders of General Zhengyuan, no one is allowed to enter the palace." The leader of the soldiers said with a serious face.
"I am He Qi, the current imperial historian, Xu Yunqing is the official of Zhengyipin, and I am also Zhengyipin, where can he control my head?" He Qi shouted, so angry that he blew his beard.
"The military order is like a mountain, you better go back early." When the officer heard this, this person was General Zhengyuan's father-in-law, and his tone was much more relaxed.
However, He Qi is still not allowed to enter.
"I want to see the emperor, why did Xu Yunqing stop me?" He Qi asked sharply, dissatisfied with what the officer in front of him said.
The officer didn't care what He Qi said, only repeating "the military order is like a mountain", and never let the two people in.
Several people were arguing at the gate of the palace to collect land, only to hear a bell ringing in the palace.
The bell was so far away, in the darkness, it seemed to come from far away. For the people at the palace gate, this bell seems too unfamiliar.
"You guys, do you hear a bell?" He Qi suddenly stopped arguing, looked at the person in front of him and asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a bell ringing, but this time, it was very loud, so loud that the ethereal and distant bell was wafting throughout the palace.
He Qi's eyes widened and he looked in the direction of the palace. The third bell rang immediately, and it seemed to be louder, and this time, it seemed to be heard in many places in the capital.
Many people who had already fallen asleep turned on the lights one after another.
Everyone was silent, and it was really intriguing what the meaning behind the bell was.
I only heard that there were people in the palace with a sharp voice, as if shouting something. The shouts are getting older and closer, and someone keeps delivering the news.
He Qi finally heard what the eunuchs said, "Emperor, you're dead." β
He straightened his appearance, knelt on the ground towards the place where the emperor was sleeping, kowtowed three times, and said, "Emperor, old minister, it's too late." β
The soldiers at the gate of the palace all put down their weapons and knelt on the ground on half their knees.
He Mian'er was in the house at the moment, anxiously waiting for news. Eiko followed her father into the palace, although she was a lot more relieved, but after all, she couldn't avoid worrying.
There seemed to be a smell of blood in the air, but she didn't know if it was her delusion.
"Mingzhu, what did you hear?" He Mian'er only felt as if there was a voice in her ears, but when she wanted to capture it carefully, the sound disappeared.
"No, miss, aren't you hallucinating?"
Mingzhu shook her head, looked at her young lady with a worried face, and forcibly helped her up and said, "You just wait, you have to go to the room and wait." If you are not at ease, I will stay here for you, and I will let you know when I have time. β
Caifeng next to him helped out, and finally sent He Mian'er to the room half-framed.
He Mian'er knew that they were for her own good, so she didn't care at the moment, she just sat at the table gently, thinking in her heart, could it be that she was in a trance and had auditory hallucinations.
He Mian'er was frowning, but she saw the door in front of her suddenly open. She was stunned for a moment, got up and was about to close the door, but saw a person walk in.
That person was Master Chen, whom she had never seen since she returned to Beijing. He Mian'er's current mood is not something that can be described as a surprise. Bayi Chinese Network
She forgot how to speak for a while, and only looked at Master Chen with happy eyes, and after a while, she said, "Master, how can you .......?"
When asked this, she was a little clear-headed, remembered the things in the palace, and hurriedly checked the four princes for a week, before finally breathing a sigh of relief and saying, "It's good that you are not injured." β
The four princes looked at the woman in front of them, and the worry in their eyes didn't seem to be fake.
Obviously, before he came, he hated her for not coming that day, but when he saw her at this moment, looking at this delicate face, his heart was much calmer.
"Master, how are things going in the palace?" He Mian'er was still thinking about her father in her heart, and couldn't help asking.
Chen Fuzi's heart was hot, and he said calmly: "It's all settled." "His solution is good, since the old emperor has died, and he, as the new successor, has stabilized the overall situation.
I believe that after dawn, the ministers of the court and the vast majority of the people in the country will hear the news of the emperor's death, and at that time, he will be the emperor of the entire Great Xiao Kingdom.
He Mian'er didn't think so far in her heart, she only said that what Master Chen said was resolved, and it was negotiated with the emperor, so her father was in no danger.
"Master, sit down, and I'll pour you a cup of tea." He Mian'er finally let go of the stones in her heart, and turned around to do her best to be a landlord.
But Master Chen shook his head, pressed He Mian'er's hand, and said, "Don't be busy, you can sit too." β
He Mian'er sat beside Master Chen as she said, looking at Master Chen looking at her with a gentle face, and a strange feeling surged in her heart.
Chen Fuzi didn't ask her about that night, she was stared at by him like this, but she felt that she should give him an explanation, and explained: "That night, I actually ......"
As soon as he said this, Master Chen let out a "shhh β
This sentence made He Mian'er's heart warm, and then she couldn't help but shed tears. Master Chen, really knows her best.
The two looked at each other quietly, and they both saw a bit of attachment and reluctance in their eyes.
"Mian'er, if you are asked to go to the grassland with me at this moment, are you willing?" Master Chen opened his mouth coldly and asked gently.
As soon as these words came out, He Mian'er was stunned, and she didn't answer immediately.
Dividing line
"General, everything is fate." He Mian'er sighed lightly and said, "Sooner or later, you are going to ask to marry another wife, I am a concubine, and it is disrespectful to give birth to my eldest son in front of my wife." This is something that no wife can tolerate. At that time, whether it is me or the child, it will become a thorn in the side of others. β
She lowered her eyes and no longer looked at Xu Yunqing, only superficially seemed to be telling herself about her life experience. "After that, there were endless battles, and I was a little tired of just fantasizing. If it is less troublesome, it will also make everyone happy. β
"Who said I would ask for another wife in the future?" Xu Yunqing suddenly said coldly.
He Mian'er raised her head suddenly, her eyes revealed a little joy, and in a blink of an eye, she felt that she was too immature, it seemed that not only her, but even Xu Yunqing was very naΓ―ve.
Seeing He Mian'er slowly lower her head, Xu Yunqing walked over, held her hand and said, "No, there will be no one else in the future." β
It would be impossible for He Mian'er not to be moved, but she quickly remembered the oath she had made many years ago. He used to say the same, but unfortunately, he forgot everything he had promised.
"General, you may not be able to do your own marriage. If you can call the shots, how did I marry into this concubine? He Mian'er ruthlessly debunked this fact. The marriage of courtiers is often decided by the emperor.
She calculated this correctly, so she did everything possible to ask Liu Tianshi in the palace to say a few kind words in front of the emperor. Today, the saint is very old, and he is obsessed with immortality and alchemy, and he highly respects warlocks.
