Chapter 421: Three Bows
There was silence.
Obviously, the two people in the hall were surprised by this, Lin Qing frowned, Yan Sui didn't answer for a long time, he stared at his father's pale face, and the look of anticipation in his eyes, and slowly frowned, and said for a while: "It's not good." ”
“…… Why ......"
"Your Majesty, I'm going to ask you why." Yan Sui interrupted him, "The crown prince has not been abolished, why did he change it?" If you want to change the establishment, why not abolish the crown prince? Your Majesty, you are not entrusting the country, you are putting me above the sword, the gun and the axe. ”
The emperor gasped, and a wry smile appeared on his thin face: "...... Because, I was harmed by the wolf-hearted rebel, because I have no time to abolish him, so I can only hand it over to you......"
"Your Majesty was plotted by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come here?" Lin Qing suddenly answered.
The emperor nodded effortlessly, shook his head again, and showed Yan Sui his discolored fingers, "...... Look at my nails...... Someone gave me a chronic poison...... It's a good time for you...... Wait a little more than half a day...... I won't have a chance to say that to you today...... As for whether it is the eldest or the second...... I don't have time to find out...... In fact, the crown prince may not be untrustworthy, but the queen is a member of the Yi family...... The boss and the Ji family are too deeply implicated...... The fifth is a failure...... Lao Jiu is still a childish ......"
His thin hand groped for the partition on the side of the dragon couch, the partition bounced open, and he shook Suosuo and pulled out a roll of bright yellow brocade from it and handed it to Yan Sui.
Yan Sui stared at the bright yellow wrapped in a ball, and did not immediately reach out.
Lin Qing watched quietly on the side, and accepted his usual casual expression, but he didn't have a shocked and tempting look.
He suddenly remembered that there was a legend many years ago that a prince presented a treasure map to the emperor, unfolded the treasure map, and a dagger was shot into the emperor's heart.
The emperor suddenly coughed violently, as if he had not been able to catch it, and as soon as he let go of his hand, the whole person fell backwards.
The holy decree in his hand rolled down and spread out, a thin roll was flat, there was no dagger, there was nothing, the ink was still fresh, and the name of Yan Sui on it was impressive.
Yan Sui glanced at it, his eyes moved, and he didn't snatch the holy decree that fell, but went to help the emperor.
He grabbed the emperor's arm, and the hand that the emperor subconsciously raised as he fell touched his heart.
The red and blue nails on his hands suddenly skyrocketed!
Like ten pointed daggers, plunged into Yan Sui's heart!
Dig your heart!
Yan Sui's eyes were cold, and he was about to step back, and with a bang behind him, he hit the couch.
Lin Qing shrugged his shoulders and was about to make a move, but at this moment, the pedal he was standing on suddenly opened, and a hole opened in front of him, and there was a faint sound in the hole.
Lin Qing's gaze swept subconsciously, and then as if he had been struck by lightning, he stiffened there, and then subconsciously took a step forward and bent down.
The emperor's ten fingers had already touched Yan Sui's clothes, and his clothes were completely torn silently.
The emperor actually has martial arts!
However, he could not plug it in anymore.
Because his nails were suddenly "bitten".
The part of Yan Sui's heart that was torn was faintly bright, and it turned out to be a small mechanism of stainless steel.
Emperor Huo Ran raised his head, he didn't expect Yan Sui to be on guard, let alone that this son could be so guarded!
At this moment, the father and son met in their eyes.
One was full of shock, vaguely a little jealous and a little uneasy.
An indescribable complexity, a little unexpected, a little unexpected, a little exciting, a little upside down, a little life, like a big dream, everything is in ashes.
In the end, it turned into a pool of stagnant water that had condensed into a glacier for thousands of years.
But for a moment.
The emperor pulled his hand suddenly, and the bitten nail was easily broken without damage, obviously not a real nail.
And the complicated pain in Yan Sui's eyes was just a flash, and the next moment his fingers popped out-
At this moment, Lin Qing's pedal mechanism in front of him was turned on.
Yan Sui also subconsciously glanced at it.
And then there was a stiffness too.
It was at this moment that out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly saw a smile in the eyes of the emperor opposite.
This moment of alarm in his heart, he immediately remembered the previous avoidance of the nail hit.
At this time, he brushed one hand towards the emperor, and the other hand reached out in the direction of the pedal.
The hand that swept towards the emperor slapped suddenly, and he was about to jump up.
But it was too late.
"Boom".
A dagger shot out from the dragon couch post behind him and shot at the back of his heart.
Yan Sui, who was touched by the person in the foot, only had time to the side of his body, and with a "snort", the dagger shot into the ribs, and it was not up to the handle.
Lin Qing Huoran raised his head, and was about to make a move in shock, but Yan Sui had already shouted: "Don't save!" It's not her! ”
Lin Qing glanced at it, smiled bitterly, and said, "I know." But I can't save it. ”
Under the foot, in the exposed gap, a woman lay on her side, with shaved shoulders and soft neck, with a graceful figure and a knife around her neck.
There was a hint of a smile in the emperor's eyes.
From Lin Qing's point of view, a small red mole could be seen on the side of her neck near her hair.
That's a mole that only Concubine De has.
But from Yan Sui's point of view, he should only be able to see the round back of the other party's head and the equally round and small earlobes, which are very similar to Wen Zhen.
At that moment, this woman who looked like Concubine De on the side and Wen Zhen on the back attracted the attention of two men, Lin Qing hadn't seen Concubine De for many years, and when she saw her again many years later, she was kidnapped under the emperor's bed, and her heart was shaken, and she was poisoned.
And Yan Sui had the opportunity to capture him or avoid the real killer after his blindfolding, but because he thought it was Wen Zhen, he lost his mind and was calculated.
See, this is the fatal flaw of men who are bound by the love of their children.
Even if they are the gods of war, they are invincible.
Yan Sui glanced at him lightly.
He knew what the emperor was thinking.
He didn't bother to tell him that at that moment, because he was wrong to dodge, his angle had changed, in fact, what he saw was the mole.
In an instant, it was actually difficult to notice details such as the shape of the head and the shape of the earlobe, and Wen Zhen did not have any obvious birthmarks.
But even if God helped the wicked, he still succeeded.
And, of course, the reason why he himself didn't run out of medicine.
His mind suddenly wandered a little, is it really because he has indulged in wanton and careless in his life?
On the couch, the emperor sat up cross-legged, his face was still dry, but his weakened state was gone, and he said apologetically and gently: "It's still for the two of you to see, it's not that I'm not sure about the side character." Otherwise, it's a psychological comfort. ”
Lin Qing smiled hoarsely and said, "Comfort what?" ”
The emperor said softly: "Let your family reunite before death." ”
Yan Sui, who had been hanging his eyes, trembled his fingers, slowly raised his head, and stared at the emperor.
The bright red behind him continued to expand until it dye through the placket of his clothes, and then converged into a trickle, dripping gold bricks.
But he looked as if the dagger didn't exist, and his eyes were empty all the time. Until this moment, that empty gaze suddenly turned into a needle and stabbed at the emperor.
The emperor met his gaze and smiled: "Third child, have you really never heard that rumor?" Did you know that if a rumor spreads all over the world, it is often a rumor? But if it is covered with clouds and fog, mysterious and secretive, and no one is allowed to speak, then nine times out of ten, it is true. ”
He paused, and a trace of annoyance finally flashed in his eyes: "Because, I can't let everyone in the world know that I have been cuckolded and raised children for decades, right?" ”
Yan Sui didn't speak, but looked at Lin Qing, Lin Qing's eyes widened, as if he had heard the most shocking joke in the world, and after a while, he looked up and laughed out loud.
The laughter is not wild, but a little low and depressed, calm about the wounds that have been endured for decades, the hatred of working for the rivals in love for these decades, and the ridicule of being willing to give up what they love in the past few decades.
is more of a vivid mockery of the self-inflicted cleverness of the person in front of him, and an endless distress for the life of his beloved in the deep palace who suddenly realized.
I thought that she would enjoy the glory and favor alone, her life was noble and worry-free, her beloved was cherished, and she was happy and happy, so that he would not see the end of the world, always guard the frontier, and fight for the royal family, it is also worth it.
But it turned out to be a mountain wolf, but it turned out to be a deep palace burial ground.
So far, it's just a big dream, and I'm laughing like crazy.
Lin Qing smiled and smiled, spit out a mouthful of blood, and gasped while spitting: "Bah, Lao Tzu has never slept on Qin's side!" ”
Yan Sui turned her head and closed her eyes.
The Emperor sneered, ignoring it.
Lin Qing didn't say any more. People like Emperor Yongyu seem to be mild-hearted, but in fact they are tough and strong, and they will always only believe in themselves. Otherwise, how could he stand out from the princes and win the throne with a sick and weak body?
He determined that Yan Sui was not a parent, so no matter how much he and Yan Sui defended at the moment, in the emperor's heart, it was just a lie, wanting to make him regret it and let them go.
The more he refutes, the more he will strengthen the emperor's murderous intentions.
Lin Qing held his hands, squinted his eyes, his face was full of reluctance and yearning, and muttered leisurely: "I really regret that I didn't promise to sleep for her......"
His voice was very low, so he didn't plan to let the emperor hear it, this was the last long-cherished wish in his heart, why should he tell it to the dog.
His loud laughter came out of the hall, and the prince, who was already in a hurry, suddenly stopped, grabbed the queen's hand, "Queen Mother! Listen to it! Lin Qing is laughing! Why is he laughing? Did his wish come true and Yan Sui succeeded to the throne? ”
The queen's face was pale, and she clenched his hand, she was also listening carefully to the laughter inside, and said coldly for a while: "Jin'er! Calm down! I don't think it's right to hear this laughter! ”
Suddenly, she stared at someone running wildly not far away.
……
In the palace, the emperor didn't hear Lin Qing's self-talk, but when he was weak-hearted, he smiled and said, "However, Ah Qing, don't feel wronged, don't feel that you have sacrificed your life for me in vain." I've never touched the side, so how can she get pregnant? She pretended to be pregnant with my child in order to save you, and I took a fancy to your talents, and it was also for you that I recognized this child. For so many years, I have favored Yan Sui even more than the princes, and I have been even more favored to Concubine De, and I did not hesitate to bear the attacks of the ministers for this, you should know it. I've never touched the side, she's been yours from beginning to end. You fought for me, I took care of my wife, you say, am I affectionate and righteous to you? ”
Lin Qing stared at him, his eyes seemed to be burning, but he smiled for a while, and arched his hands, and said, "Hearing this, it really makes sense, and the minister should thank Your Majesty." ”
The emperor smiled, but before his smile was fully unfolded, Lin Qing waved him again and said with a smile: "With a bow, Your Majesty Xie has happily worn a cuckold for more than 20 years for the throne." ”
The Emperor's smile froze.
Lin Qing waved again: "Second bow, thank Your Majesty for your generosity, let the 'drag oil bottle' go out of the palace at the age of three, return to the palace at the age of thirteen, between the age of thirteen and twenty-three, and his 'cheap old man', like a spear for His Majesty, blood and sweat, exhaustion, against the enemy, in the end get a dagger, a poisonous smoke, a bow to hide the bird, and a rabbit and a dead dog to cook." ”
The Emperor sat upright, his face as if it were gradually covered with frost.
There were figures in the hall that kept flashing, but Lin Qing and Yan Sui didn't see it.
Yan Sui has always been like he was wandering, as if his soul had left this temple that suffocated and annoyed him, and flew to the high sky, the sun, moon and stars, the cosmic streamer, the extreme of heaven and earth, everything is good, everything is done, as long as you don't stay here, don't sit on the side of this yellow-robed human skeleton, listen to these words.
Lin Qing shook again, this time bowed to the ground, "Three bows, thank Your Majesty for your deep affection." Obviously like the side, and he also had many heart-to-heart friendships with the ministers at the beginning, and swore in the moon that he was willing to treat the side side with one heart, and the white head would not be separated. At that time, His Majesty's words were sincere, and he even did not hesitate to sacrifice blood for the alliance, and this situation is vivid. The minister was convinced, and admired, for this starry night gallop the border, since then twenty years of military service has not returned, just to believe in His Majesty's oath, believe in the side of the luck...... His Majesty Xie has been deeply favored by the side for so many years, and he has been favored for so long, he has been spoiled until the name of her demon concubine has spread all over the world, and she has to be alienated in order to protect herself, and she has been misunderstood by me because of this, and she has become the target of the Six Palaces, and she has been betrayed by her relatives...... Your Majesty's love is like a mountain and a sea, and the mountains are not around the mountains, and the snow falls all year round, and the birds are difficult to cross; The sea is a dead sea, the black water overturns, and the feathers sink. Your Majesty's oath, with bone with blood, bone is anti-bone, and will always sincerely do evil thoughts; Blood is dog blood, and it can't be splashed all this day! ”
The emperor's face has turned pale, after all, he is a noble man, a young man who is weak, and he is also noble, how can he have been scolded so vividly and viciously in his life, but his natural cultivation or the city government was stunned to let him listen to it stiffly, and it was also this hellish city that made him listen to it, only to feel extremely uncomfortable in his heart, covering his heart, and he couldn't breathe for a while.
Yan Sui sat there, the bleeding on his back was still not slowing, as if he was going to drain all the blood of his life, he didn't care, the irritable footsteps of His Royal Highness the Prince outside the palace were knocking endlessly, faster and faster, his heartbeat was getting slower and slower, his fingertips were getting colder and colder, the carved window lattice above the palace door faintly revealed a line of dark sky, as if it was going to snow, he remembered many, many years ago, it was also a snowy weather, he wrapped a small fur fur and played alone in the imperial garden, at that time Lin Feibai had already come, very annoying, He didn't want to stay in Desheng Palace, so he went to the imperial garden to play ball, the imperial garden was open and windy, and it didn't take long to freeze his fingers hard, and he couldn't even pick up the ball, he picked it up several times, and was thinking about how to use it to pick up the ball, and suddenly picked up the ball with one hand steadily, and brushed off the snow on it, before handing it to his arms.
When he looked up, he saw the kind eyes of his father.
The father squatted down, looked behind him reproachfully, and said, "Why did you run out to play alone?" Still wearing so little. I don't even have a hand cage with me. ”
As he spoke, he took off his fox fur scarf, wrapped it around his neck, took his little hand that was red from the cold, rubbed it between his palms, and put it to his lips and sighed. It wasn't until the tips of his little fingers were warm that he picked him up and walked back. The footsteps are light and steady, stepping on the purple and red corridor of falling snow.
He remembered that the long hair around his neck was smooth and soft, and the warmth went straight to the bottom of his heart, and he remembered that the hot air between his lips was moist, as if it had lingered on his fingertips for many years.
There are actually a lot of such details, and it is these details that are superimposed frame by frame that support him through his lonely childhood, the young man who studied hard to learn art, the young man who has been boiling hard for a long time, and the young man who has been suffering from the wind and waves for a long time, and he is obviously unwilling to bow down to this world, and it is difficult to exist, but he has also carried down many things that should not be carried, supporting him to run through the rivers, lakes and seas, and between the court and the family with the sword and the sword, until today.
Until today, the ten fingers stretched out are no longer holding hands but digging hearts, until today, a dagger enters the body like snow.
He stretched out his hand, and his fingertips were the same as they had been back then, blue and white, cold and stiff.
It's just that no one is hot at the fingertips anymore.
It's okay, I can do it myself.
He put his fingertips between his lips and touched a hot patch, and when his fingers fell, their fingertips turned red.
He lowered his head and watched the blood drop by drop on his knee, and thought vaguely in his heart, it turned out that at this moment, the blood was still hot......
Is...... Amusing.
The figure in front flashed, it was an internal guard, that is, the protector hidden in the emperor's bedroom, the person flashed out from behind Yan Sui, and the long sword in his hand went straight to his back heart, but Yan Sui, who was obviously still in a trance, seemed to have eyes behind him, and with a flick of his hand, the man silently went out of the distance, crashed into a copper crane, and instantly red, red and white.
In fact, this room is not a place for the emperor to see people and rest, so the layout inside is not very familiar to Yan Sui, but he knows that someone must be hiding on the side of the dragon couch, because if the back of the dragon couch hid the dagger from the beginning, it would not be able to hide from him, so there was no weapon there at first, it was someone who hid in the wall behind the side of the dragon couch, after he sat down, and in order to avoid the emperor's killer's back hit the dragon couch, he took advantage of the vibration to send the dagger over in the way of linkage mechanism.
It's just that Yan Sui solved this person, and the blood in his mouth finally spurted to the ground, and he held the dragon couch with one hand and shook it. At this time, the emperor also took the opportunity to reach into his arms and took out a bag.
Before the bag was fully opened, a peculiar and strong aroma diffused out, and the emperor took a deep breath and said with satisfaction: "Okay, it is indeed worthy of the elixir that Endless Heaven has cultivated with all his efforts." ”
His eyes sparkled with joy. His own body is really not finished, and he is still panting, just to wait for this medicine, and now he has finally waited.
Lin Qing had already found a chair by himself and sat down, looking at this scene, he sneered, and said to Yan Sui: "Don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry for something with a wolf's heart and a dog's lungs." Remember, there's someone waiting for you. ”
Yan Sui's gaze, which had been floating, suddenly moved, and finally glanced at him, and suddenly smiled, and said, "You too." ”
Lin Qing sighed: "Your mother doesn't know what's going on." ”
Yan Sui said: "She can protect herself." ”
Since the emperor didn't dare to really hold her hostage to threaten the two of them, it showed that he was very jealous of Concubine De.
Concubine De has been standing tall in the palace for so many years, although the emperor deliberately made a show, but she can still survive so far when she becomes a target, and naturally the name of the demon concubine is not called in vain.
Lin Qing smiled comfortingly.
The emperor put away the medicine and looked at the two of them, the dagger was poisonous, and the poisonous smoke was even more extraordinary, Yan Sui didn't look at the one just now was very ruthless, but in fact, it was already the end of the crossbow. He smiled calmly and said, "I heard that this medicine is domineering, and it needs a long-term Dharma protector to help refine it. Looks like I'm going to have to take some time, too. ”
Lin Qing said with a smile: "No wonder you are in such a hurry to call the third child back, it turns out that I am afraid that he has finished refining the medicine, and you will have no fun." But let me remind you, the medicine should be taken symptomatically, this is specially formulated for Yan Sui, what kind of business are you robbing? ”
The emperor looked at him, did not speak, and smiled.
Lin Qing stared at him, silent for a long time, and turned his head to look at Yan Sui, who finally turned his head to look at the emperor.
After a while, Lin Qing muttered, "You...... You are also poisoned, you are the same poison as Yan Sui...... So you have been weak for many years, but why are your symptoms different from Yan Sui......"
The emperor smiled and said, "Because the personality is different." ”
Lin Qing took a long breath.
Because the personalities are different, the emperor is forbearing, and Yan Sui is indulgent, but the emperor behind him, today's emperor, where is not crazy?
Yan Sui used his way to solve a lot, more of his own silent responsibility, and did not hurt others too much. And the emperor chooses to hurt others and fulfill himself.
If it is not ruthless and forbearing, if it is not poisonous, how can it be forbearant and fierce?
"Over the years, my poisons have been resolved, so I don't need your first three pills, which can be regarded as leaving you a glimmer of life. It has been full of years of kindness and righteousness from you, my father and son. The emperor opened the bag and counted it, poured out a pill, stuffed it into Yan Sui's mouth without saying a word, and picked up a cup of tea on the side of the couch to help him swallow it, "It's better to choose a day than to hit the day, in order to prevent a long night dream, Dad will feed you!" ”
Lin Qing: "!! ”
He should obviously know that Yan Sui's medicine is domineering, and he can't eat it casually, and before the last medicine has been refined, he will eat the third one, does this mean that he will die immediately!
Lin Qing was so angry that he vomited another mouthful of blood, and this time he didn't even want to scold.
He wanted him to obey.
Even with thousands of wisdoms and supreme force, it can't resist the ruthlessness that has no lower limit.
He was more worried about Yan Sui's state, shouldn't he be so weak, was it because the medicine had not been refined before?
Yan Sui's face was as white as transparent, his eyes were slightly closed, and if he didn't look carefully, he seemed to be out of breath.
The emperor said softly: "Since I need time, and I also need to see the hearts of the big guys, then next, I can only wronged the two of them......
Before he finished speaking, a fierce knock on the door suddenly sounded outside, accompanied by a shout of disregard: "Father! Father! Father, how are you, Father! ”
There was also the prince's angry dissuasion: "Old five! Why did you suddenly enter Beijing! What are you going to do! Hold it! Hold it! You can't go in, you can't-"
