Chapter 180: The Emperor's Suffering
The wind was cold, bitter, and hungry.
The back mountain far away from the palace was full of Wen Zijin's soldiers.
"General, not in the south!"
"General, there is no one in the north!"
"General......
"General!"
Wen Zijin's face was solemn, his hand was slightly raised, and he was straight.
"Everyone has worked hard all night, let's rest for a while."
"Yes!"
Wen Zijin sat under the tree casually, took out a bag of grain that had become dry and hard from his arms, put it to his mouth, and bit it down one bite after another, his face unchanged.
It seems that I have long been used to it.
After five or six mouthfuls of this big cake, Wen Zijin was about to get up, but he heard someone shouting.
"General! There is movement in the West! ”
Wen Zijin's eyes sharpened.
The man only felt a flower in front of him, and in the next second, Wen Zijin had disappeared.
Facing west, Wen Zijin saw the person he was looking for.
I saw that Mo Huaijin was dressed in tatters, he was embarrassed, his face was even dirtier, his whole person looked sluggish, and his spirit was not very good.
"King Yu!"
Wen Zijin's face changed slightly, and he ran over in a panic and helped him up.
Who expected that his legs would be weak, if it weren't for Wen Zijin's quick reaction, Mo Huaijin would probably have to fall.
"Lord Wang, are you okay?"
Mo Huaijin coughed weakly twice, and waved his hand weakly, "It's okay...... Have you found the princess? ”
"At noon, news came from the palace that the princess was seriously injured......"
"Ahem, ahem!" Mo Huaijin coughed a little louder.
Wen Zijin immediately shut up, not wanting to stimulate him at this juncture.
"Lord, let's go back with the ministers."
"Okay."
Wen Zijin immediately asked people to help prepare the carriage.
Soon, they arrived at the palace.
When Mo Huai arrived, the emperor had been waiting for a long time.
Seeing that he was being pushed in, the emperor immediately got up.
"Brother Huang, you have suffered."
The smile on the corner of Mo Huaijin's lips was a little bitter, "It's the younger brother who is useless and has helped, but it is General Wen who has been searching for them all night." ”
"As long as you come back safe and sound, that's enough." After the emperor finished speaking, he personally poured a cup of tea for him.
"I originally wanted you to go back to the house directly, but the queen mother was worried about you, so she had to take a second look."
As soon as the emperor's voice fell, the sound of the announcement outside rang out.
"The Queen Mother has arrived!"
The Queen Mother hurriedly walked in, her face anxious, and she held Mo Huaijin's hand tightly.
"I'm scared to death, you're going to be scared to death!"
Mo Huaijin lowered his eyes, "I'm sorry to make the queen mother worried." ”
The Queen Mother had tears in her eyes, as if she was about to cry.
She turned her head and glared at the emperor, a little complaining.
"Emperor, you are really, such a dangerous hunting competition, why do you want to let Huai Jin participate?"
The emperor was about to speak, but Mo Huaijin said quickly: "Queen Mother, this matter has nothing to do with the imperial brother. ”
"Erchen stays in the house all day long, it's really boring."
The Queen Mother clapped her hand in fear, "Okay, okay, the mourning family knows what you are going to say, is it okay if the mourning family doesn't blame the emperor?" ”
Mo Huaijin smiled slightly.
"Well, I heard that the princess was injured, and the mourning family will not keep you, so go back to the house quickly."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
Mo Huaijin arched his hand and was pushed out by the eunuch.
It wasn't until his figure disappeared that the Queen Mother looked at the emperor.
The emperor lay his hands into fists, put them to his mouth and coughed lightly.
"Emperor, don't think that the mourning family doesn't know, you didn't send the Imperial Forest Army in last night."
"On the contrary, General Wen took the initiative to ask Ying, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid that no one would have searched for King Yu all night, right?"
The emperor panicked, and hurriedly explained: "Queen Mother, this matter is indeed wrong. ”
"But I am not only the elder brother of Huaijin, but also the emperor of Rinnan."
"I can't put so many lives at risk and let them die in the dark."
"You know, there is a strange beast in the mountains, and if ordinary people encounter it, there is only one way to die."
"If it weren't for General Wen and Shen'an joining forces, I'm afraid it would have been ...... long ago"
The Queen Mother interrupted him coldly: "You don't need to talk to the mourning family about such a big truth!" ”
"You just need to remember that the life of the heart is greater than everything else!"
The emperor opened his mouth silently, his eyes trembled slightly, and he was a little dumbfounded.
"This kind of thing, the mourning family doesn't want to see it a second time!"
After speaking, the Queen Mother left angrily.
The emperor stood in place for a long time before closing his eyes and slowly sitting on the chair.
The closest personal father-in-law hurriedly comforted him: "The emperor doesn't have to take the queen mother's words to heart, it must be the queen mother's heart that Gu Zi is anxious, so he will ......"
"Gu Zi is heartfelt." The emperor listened to this word, and was a little helpless, "Yes...... I'm not her own. ”
The father-in-law was full of distress, "The emperor is too worried, although you are from the queen mother, but how the queen mother has treated you over the years, the servants are all in their eyes and in their hearts." ”
"You think about it, before King Yu's legs were crippled, the Queen Mother's love for you and King Yu was the same."
"It's just that what happened after that made the Queen Mother feel more pity for King Yu."
"What's more, King Yu doesn't enter the palace several times a year."
"Therefore, the Queen Mother is even more ...... to him"
The emperor raised his hand and motioned for him not to say anything more.
"I know what you're talking about."
"That's why I didn't bother with my brother."
"It's just...... In my heart, I will still feel a little uncomfortable. ”
The father-in-law smiled, "This is because the emperor has the queen mother in his heart, so he is like this." ”
"That's it, don't mention this matter again, I'll go and see Shen An."
"Yes."
The moonlight poured in through the skylight, casting a light on the ground.
Shen Xixi was wearing a single coat and a cloak, standing straight at the door.
She didn't know how long it took, but she saw a long figure coming slowly, with a calm step and an elegant posture.
"Big guy ......," Shen Xixi called in a low voice.
As she got closer, she realized that he was holding something covered with a black cloth in his hand.
Mo Huaijin stood in front of her in one step, reached out and tightened her cloak, fastening it.
"It's so cold outside, why don't you stay in the house?"
"I wonder when you'll come back...... Shen Xixi looked at him for a moment, his dark eyes were like stars in the sky, and there were dots of light in the depths.
She raised her head obediently, the arc of her jawbone was very delicate, and there were fine pieces of hair on her forehead.
Mo Huaijin couldn't help touching the top of her head, "Don't worry, nothing went wrong." ”
Shen Xixi nodded, looking down at his hand.
"What are you taking? Is it for me? ”
"Of course."
The corners of Mo Huaijin's lips hooked a gentle arc, "Open it and take a look?" ”
Shen Xixi carefully opened it and found that there was a cute little rabbit in the bamboo cage, staring at her with beads in his eyes.
One person, one thing, four eyes facing each other.
"This ...... Big guy, why do you give me a rabbit? ”
"I'll make you a spicy rabbit head to eat."
Shen Xixi: "!! ”
