Chapter 169: King Erdo's Inner Struggle
Your Majesty! Are you going to the rose garden? Steward Shang looked at King Erdo, who was dressed in coarse cloth after waking up, and asked with concern, the king has not been taking care of the rose garden for a long time, why did he suddenly become interested today?
King Erdo nodded slightly, and then walked out with a huge straw hat, the atmosphere in the palace was so oppressive that people couldn't get up, and he needed to find a place to be quiet.
From the side of the palace door through, turn to the left, not far away is a lush bamboo forest, far away is like a green ocean, Erduo Wang walked quickly into the bamboo forest, suddenly feel a cool, the wind blows from the bamboo forest, the bamboo leaves make a "rustling" sound, both like who gently plucked the strings, and like someone shaking the sand hammer, extraordinarily quiet and quiet.
This bamboo forest was planted when Yuwei was engaged, Xi'er said that the beautiful sister likes the bamboo forest, and he ordered the removal of the yellow sandalwood, and now the bamboo has become a forest, but the people who watch the bamboo are far away in the northern frontier shrouded in ice and snow.
King Erdo looked at the slim bamboo forest and shook his head, the world is unpredictable, who would have thought that a mudslide planned by Queen Ferrand would send Yu Wei, the reincarnation of the Queen of the Earth, to their side, but it is a pity that they did not protect Yu Wei well, so that the thieves lurking in the Erdo tribe took advantage of the loophole.
He exhaled a long breath and walked through the bamboo forest with heavy steps, the leaves of several tall ginkgo trees had turned golden, and the dazzling light shone through the lush branches of the ginkgo trees, leaving a constant change of light and shadow.
After walking for about a cup of tea, the sound of gurgling water came from ahead, and he pushed aside the tall vines hanging in front of him and stepped in.
The long-lost rose garden instantly caught his eye, and the roses unscrupulously stretched out their spiky tentacles and intertwined with each other.
This was once a solace for his soul, and he never left Nier's mother when she was seriously ill, but Yuwei's arrival changed his life, and he began to look forward to the arrival of this girl, talking and laughing with her, and working with her in this flower garden, and when Yuwei told him about his feelings for the person he loved, he also tried to fulfill her marriage with General Xingli, until one day he knew her true identity.
He walked to the stone platform next to the spring and sat down, this is where he usually sits, he picked up the jade jade cup placed on the stone platform, every time Yuwei used this cup to drink, she would lean on his shoulder coquettishly, like a father and daughter who talked about everything.
"Is this the first time I've seen a rose garden, and how long has it been since yours pruned this rose garden?" Yu Wei's clear questioning voice lingered in his ears, he curled the corners of his lips and smiled, if Yu Wei was still there, would he still question him like this?
He stood up, picked up the big scissors and walked towards the rose bush, the rose branches fell in clusters, he leaned down and gathered the cut branches together, and without paying attention, his hand had been pierced by the spikes of the rose, and blood came out.
"Can you be careful, isn't it good to wear a pair of gloves?" Yu Wei's voice of concern and accusation lingered in his ears again.
He silently tore off a white petal from the rose, and wiped it carefully like Yu Wei, he seemed to see Yu Wei frowning, holding a rose petal to carefully help him wipe his injured finger, and his little face flushed white exuded a youthful atmosphere.
In a trance, the bloody petals slipped from his hand, he subconsciously bent over, an iron rose slipped from his pocket, he quickly picked it up, and gently rubbed the soil stuck to it with his hand.
"The rose is a testimony of our love, and I want to brand this rose on our daughter's body!" On the night of Lil's birth, Ferransmine held a reddish iron rose in her hand and pressed it against her daughter's delicate skin, and after her daughter's crying, there was already a small rose mark on her shoulder.
His heart ached, Fernsmin's favorite thing was roses, and when she had planted them with roses, and when Francsmin had been sent back to the North by his father, he returned to the rose courtyard where they had once sworn to each other, and where he found the iron rose that had been discarded by Francmin.
He could feel the despair of Francimin, the despair of losing his daughter and husband, and he was grieving as he lay where Francmin had laid, but this was their fate in this life, and they would become the sworn enemies of the dominant side in the future.
"Father!" The eldest prince dressed in white walked over, followed by a frightened girl with a frightened face.
"Meet the King!" The girl knelt down in front of King Erdo, trembling all over, and when she came out to fold flowers for His Royal Highness the county lord, she was caught by a man in black, and she was brought here in a daze.
"You're Purple Smoke?" King Erdo didn't look at it, but was still busy with himself.
"Back to the king, the maid is Zixun!" The piercing clicking sound stimulated Zi Xun's already beating heart, and she only felt that she could not breathe, and her little face was flushed.
"Where did the county lord go a few days ago, do you know?" King Erdo asked without raising his head.
"Back to the king, His Royal Highness the county lord went to the bottom of the western Pacific Ocean to play!" Zi Xun looked at Wang Shang's casual appearance, and trembled slightly.
"You went too?" King Erdo kicked the cut rose branch aside.
"Back to the king, His Royal Highness the county lord is in a hurry, so he didn't notify the maid to follow!" Purple Smoke trembled and looked at the few roses at King Erdo's feet, the roses that had just been extremely delicate were at the mercy of his hands and became broken.
"In a hurry?" King Erdo turned around and looked at Zi Xun with blazing eyes, General Xingli left in a hurry after Yu Wei's accident, and the county lord disappeared with him.
"Yes!" Zixun nodded vigorously, she had already served His Royal Highness the County Lord to bed that day, she left after watching His Royal Highness the County Lord fall asleep, but she didn't expect to lose the trace of the County Lord when it was dawn, she looked around, and when she met Fu Hanjiang, she knew that General Xingli had taken His Royal Highness the County Lord to the Western Pacific to play, saying that it was to surprise His Royal Highness the County Lord.
"Could it be that the county lord was taken away temporarily?" King Erdo's face was full of doubt.
"Back to the king, the slave doesn't know!"
"Are you sure the county lord is going to the Western Pacific?" King Erdo stared at Purple Smoke tightly.
"Back to the king, the slave and maid are sure!" His Royal Highness the County Lord brought back a lot of treasures from the Western Pacific, and the big pearl that radiated a shining light was the most precious, and His Royal Highness the County Lord proudly said that it was found by General Xingli on the bottom of the sea, and his face was full of happiness.
"Okay, you go back!" King Erdo's eyebrows tightened, as long as his daughter saw Xingli General, she had no sense of proportion, who knew how many of her words were true and how many were false.
When His Royal Highness heard this, he clapped his palms, and a hidden guard dressed in black immediately ran over.
"Don't talk to anyone about what just happened!" King Erdo stared at the woman in front of him, "Otherwise, you know what will happen." ”
"Yes!" Zi Xun struggled to stand up, she was already scared and weak, she bowed deeply to His Royal Highness the Great Prince, and then ran out of the rose garden with the man in black.
"Father, what do you think?" The eldest prince took a cup of spring water from the mountain spring and brought it to King Erdo.
King Erdo wiped the sweat from his forehead, took it and drank it all, "Things are definitely not as simple as they seem!" ”
"Did Eldory help him commit perjury?" Dashizi bit his lower lip before he said hard, he really didn't want to mention Erdoli's name, and he had an indescribable disgust for this scheming half-sister.
King Erdo closed his eyes and pondered for a while, then shook his head, "Although Li'er is obedient and vicious, she has a straightforward personality, and it is probably impossible for her to give perjury to General Xingli!" ”
"But Yu Wei's disappearance must be inseparable from General Xingli, who can kidnap Yu Wei in front of me, and send it to the north without knowing it, I can't think of a second person except him." Da Shizi can't forget the sadness of playing the piano in Xiaowei Pavilion after night and Xingli's carelessness when he stopped to listen, if Xiaowei's disappearance really has nothing to do with Xingli, then Xingli would have been anxious like an ant on a hot pot, and he couldn't sit still.
"You doubt, it's not a father, but since the day Yuwei disappeared, General Xingli has been staying in the Erduo tribe, and the only flight that crossed the border also has an accurate flight record, and this time Li'er is by his side."
King Erdo stopped his work, raised his head and looked at the blue sky, which was high and clear, and a few cotton-wool-like clouds hung lazily in the sky, and looked absentmindedly at the earth under his feet.
From the day Xingli was given military power, he began to monitor the General's Mansion, but in the past three years, the hidden guard did not find any abnormality in Xingli, he patrolled the border on time, dealt with military affairs, and took the lead in the confrontation with the Feilang clan, and repeatedly performed miraculous feats.
Cold-hearted, thoughtful, and uneventful, this is all he has to say about Xingli, which perfectly makes him frightened, because he doesn't know how to control this general who has military power in his hands and can put their royal family in danger at any time.
He sighed secretly, he had been in power for eighteen years, and even the famous Zhan Yan was under his control, but he had not found the defects of Xingli for three years, so he could only secretly expand the palace guards in charge of Nier to resist the wind and rain that might come.
"Father!" The eldest prince looked at his father's contemplative appearance and couldn't help but ask, "Can we only let him do whatever he wants?" ”
"So what?" King Erdo looked at his son, who was angry in his eyes, and comforted: "There is no one in the world who can control everything, only those who are fully prepared for the goal!" ”
"Father means ......"
"Yu Wei explained everything in the Ferrand Palace, Xingli must be related to the Ferrand Palace, and he must have an unknown purpose in my Erduo tribe!" There was a hint of helplessness in King Erdo's scorching eyes, "I didn't expect her to hate me like this, if it weren't for Yuwei, how could I find out that General Xingli is a member of the Ferrand tribe hidden in my clan!" ”
"How can General Xingli be a member of the Ferrand tribe?" Da Shizi's eyes widened in astonishment, General Xingli has lived in the Erduo tribe since he was a child, and he has nothing to do with the Ferrand tribe at all, why did he suddenly become a member of the Ferrang tribe?
"His eyes are too cold, such a look without waves and emotions is enough to show that he is just a puppet walking in this world, and it is precisely because of this that he can be so perfect, and there must be someone behind the scenes." King Erdo's eyes flashed with pain, and it seemed that Ferransmin had been ready to fight him from the moment he left the Erdo.
"So what are we going to do?"
"Since things have already been like this, we can only brake with static and respond to all changes with no change!" King Erdo's eyes flashed with a decisive light, he was not afraid of death, but his subjects could not be killed because of this, for the sake of the Erdo people, even if he did not want to, he would take the war letter given to him by Fernsmin.
"Son, obey!" The eldest prince looked solemn, and then said: "Erchen is going to leave for the Feilang clan tonight, and I ask my father to take care of his health!" ”
King Erdo nodded, then took out the iron rose from his inner pocket and handed it to Nier, "The rose has been branded with a love, and the branded rose has grown, you must remember this sentence, if you are accidentally captured, take this, and then say the two sentences just now, you can save your life!" ”
"Yes!" Dashizi's face was full of surprise, but he still respectfully took the iron rose in his hand.
