"Father—"

Emperor Yan calmed down, resisted the urge to make a move on the person in front of him, and said, "As soon as your mother went, you destroyed her beloved plum garden. Are you convicted? ”

"What's the crime?" The voice was neither deep nor shallow, cold as ice, "Since the queen mother is no longer there, what is the use of keeping this Merlin, it is just to add some sadness." What's wrong with me destroying this hurtful thing? ”

When Emperor Yan saw Murong Jin's attitude, he could no longer suppress his anger, and waved his big sleeves away, lifting Murong Jin to the ground. Murong Jin suffered from that sleeve wind, and for a moment felt the qi and blood in his chest surge, and couldn't help but spurt out a mouthful of blood. Emperor Yan was shocked in his heart, knowing that he had used too much force just now, but he only lightly spit out two words: "Evil obstacle!" ”

Murong Jin endured the pain and stood up covering his chest and said, "Is my father blaming me for ruining this piece of Merlin, or is blaming me for ruining one of your thoughts about your mother?" ”

Seeing Emperor Yan's eyebrows frowning, Murong Jin said again: "If it's the latter, my father shouldn't blame me, after all, my father is the real culprit who ruined all this, isn't it?" ”

It was as if the air had stopped flowing at this moment, and the surroundings were suddenly silent. Emperor Yan's body shook imperceptibly, did he already know it? Yes, he is so smart, how can he hide it! Emperor Yan looked at his eight-year-old son standing in front of him, his clear and bottomless cold eyes, and he didn't know what to say or explain for a while. Or maybe nothing matters.

Emperor Yan turned around, his voice was a little low, and said, "Ah Jin, there are some truths that you have to understand as soon as possible. There are some things that cannot be changed no matter how much you persist; There are some things that you have to do even if you don't want to; There are some things that you can't decide, even if you have supreme power. ”

The corners of Murong Jin's eyes were sour, and he couldn't help shedding two lines of tears, fainted away the bloodstains, and choked up: "But, why-"

Why! Why should Northern Qi be a victim of this troubled era! Why should he let his mother suffer such pain! Why should he endure the pain of losing his mother at such a young age! Is it just a last resort? Can't you even protect your own wife?

Emperor Yan turned around and half-squatted and pinched Murong Jin's shoulders, "So, you have to be strong enough, strong enough not to be restrained by anyone, strong enough to protect the people you want to protect." Although your father is the emperor of Dayan, there are still many things that you can't help yourself, so you have to become stronger than your father. Instead of ruining a Merlin here to make people see your jokes, you- understand? ”

Seeing that Murong Jin didn't speak, Emperor Yan asked sharply, "Do you understand?" ”

Murong Jin still closed his eyes tightly and didn't say a word, Emperor Yan was about to get angry, but suddenly saw that the situation was wrong, and immediately caught Murong Jin's leaning body. Emperor Yan hugged his small body and walked out quickly. When he walked to Dongxian's side, he kicked him to the ground, and said angrily: "Go find the imperial doctor, and then go to the criminal room to get twenty boards!" ”

"Yes."

The queen's funeral, the whole country mourned, and the whole city was in pain.

The music of great sorrow was played for seven days, and within seven days, the whole people mourned. Within 7749 days, civil and military officials took off their crowns and wore plain clothes. The emperor dropped out of the dynasty for seven days, and kept the spirit for the queen. On the seventh day, Hou Wan Qi was buried in Dongling, and the emperor sent it to him. The whole country has banned music feasts for three years.

The fourth son of the emperor, Jin, has filial piety and Jia, and has been guarding the tomb for his mother for three years.

Because of the national funeral, this banquet of the Great Annihilation of the Northern Qi Dynasty was also postponed to three years later. The whole country was full of laughter again.

It was also winter, three years ago at this time, when the wind and snow were pervasive, and the snow silk and veil wrapped around every palace; Now, the blue sky is thousands of miles, and the alizarin red gauze palace lamps are hung all over the corners of the palace eaves.

It seems that the attack on the royal city of Northern Qi is still yesterday's thing, and those civil and military warriors drink and laugh, and they can't talk about their joy.

"I heard that the general captured ten cities in Northern Qi in less than two months, which is very powerful."

"Yes, thanks to the general, my Dayan was able to expand the territory to the south!"

"I heard that the royal family of the Northern Qi Dynasty is also a pile of hard bones, refusing to surrender, and jumping off the palace wall one after another, the scene is extremely spectacular."

"No, self-slaughtering, jumping off the building, there is no one left."

"It's a pity that the eldest prince of Northern Qi wrote the good article at the beginning, which is really amazing!"

......

The last silver light on the horizon was swallowed up by the night, and the moonlight was like a practice, gently splashing down, and everything was faintly glowing with white light.

The night banquet, the military generals are divided into two sides, the hall is brightly lit, and the Yan Emperor is in a high position in a gorgeous costume, and he has a state of looking down on the world.

Northern Qi, when the national strength was strong, even Dayan had to be afraid of three points. Now that the mountains and rivers are broken, the royal family is dead, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, to this point, it is just for people to talk and laugh before and after tea. No matter how gorgeous a person is, if he moves through the wind and rain, he will become the dry bones of the loess Longtou.

In such troubled times, everyone tries their best to live, does whatever it takes to survive, and makes others unable to live in order to survive. People are so selfish and cruel. Life is more important than anything else, because if you die, you are nothing. But it is not easy to talk about troubled times. You never know if there's a next step on the road, you don't know who will polish the dagger into your chest,

Don't believe in the human heart, the human heart is the ugliest thing in this world, through the belly, where can you know whether it is black or red.

In the midst of the conversation and laughter at this banquet, someone had already sharpened his sleeve knife, waiting for whoever was careless to take someone's life.

After the celebration banquet, there was a heavy snowfall, like the catkins in the spring, flying and falling all over the city. Wrapped in silver, it looks like a snow country. But because the New Year Festival is approaching, the royal city is still very lively.

There are a little more palace attendants coming and going on the palace road than in the past, all of them are in a hurry but without waves, running between the palaces for the sake of their age. The gold-embroidered octagonal red gauze palace lamp gradually hung on the eaves and palace beams. On the sandalwood shelves of the weaving room, the new clothes that were routinely made for each palace were neatly placed, and the palace ladies were dragging lacquer plates one after another to send them to various places.

Murong Jin had just returned to the palace, and he was not very familiar with everything around him. However, the Floating Moon Palace is still the same as when it left, but the trees in the garden have grown a lot taller, and the place where a few orchids were originally planted has now been replaced by a few gold-inlaid jade bamboos.

"Someone."

As soon as the words fell, several young chamberlains wearing dark green palace robes walked in broken steps, bowed down and said in unison: "What does Your Highness command?" ”

"Look up." Murong Jin said loudly.

Hearing this, several people cautiously raised their heads slightly.

Murong Jin looked at the more faceless servants in front of him, and frowned slightly: "What about Dongxian?" ”

After several people looked at each other for a while, one of them stepped forward and said: "Back to Your Highness, since Your Highness left, Dongxian was sent to Weiyang Palace to serve." ”

Murong Jin casually picked up a dead leaf and said coldly: "Got it, go down." ”

"Yes."

The dead leaves on your fingertips have been inadvertently crushed. Weiyang Palace? The cold palace is not a place for people.

Unconsciously, he was pacing in the direction of Weiyang Palace. A sudden gust of cold wind filled the snow-white cloak, and Murong Jin couldn't help but tuck the fox tail on his neckline.

I heard that Weiyang Palace was also the residence of a queen a few years ago, but somehow, after several ups and downs, it has become the current situation.

I remember when he was five years old, he came to Weiyang Palace in order to chase a snow-white kitten. When his aunt found him, she picked him up as if she had met an evil ghost and ran away. After the queen mother found out, she never said so seriously: "Ah Jin, you must know that there are too many places of right and wrong in this palace, and one step into it will be doomed." There are so many people here who are watching you that your every move could be the last arrow to kill you. Don't run around like this again. Although he did not understand the meaning at that time, he understood the seriousness of the matter in the eyes of the queen mother, and he never went to such a place again.

Now that I'm here again, I don't have a different feeling.

The vermilion paint on the gate fell and was mottled red. Several large gilded characters on the Nanmu plaque have been dark black, and the words "Weiyang Palace" can be vaguely seen. Although Weiyang Palace was uninhabited, it still formally sent some palace attendants to guard and clean it. In fact, some slaves who offended their masters were sent to one place and imprisoned here for life. Staying in an abandoned and dilapidated house in the palace, the food is often not enough, and it is left over from other people's food. Some of these people are inevitably strong, and those who are strong can eat more, and those who are weak often only watch others go hungry in vain. No one cares how many dry bones there are in the abandoned well in the palace.

The people who are sent here usually die of starvation or disease after a short time, or they accidentally break their heads. Although the gate was not locked, no one dared to cross it. Unless you accumulate virtue in your previous life, you can have a noble person to lead you out of this Rakshasa hell, but who will set foot in this cheap land.

Murong Jin pondered for a moment, and finally pushed open the hidden door. The gate in disrepair made a dull "creaking" sound. As far as the eye can see, it is desolate and lonely, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, and moss crawls all over the stone slabs. It was probably because of the cold weather, so there was no one outside the house.

When I was about to go inside, I heard a shrill voice say, "Yo, I thought I was a newcomer, it turned out to be a nobleman." ”

Murong Jin looked at it when he heard the sound, and saw a middle-aged waiter with gray hair and a gray robe leaning in front of the door of the side hall, and the man said: "Are you the son of which family or the royal highness of which palace, don't blame the minions for being lazy, this is not the place where you should come." The servant advises you to leave early, don't let this cheap land stain your precious feet, and don't let the people in the palace find a hurry. ”

"I'm here for someone."

"I wonder who your nobles are looking for? It's best to be here this year, or the minions won't even be able to find their bones! It's easy to bring people in this Weiyang Palace, but it's difficult to bring people out," the chamberlain said and pointed to a waste well under the dead wood on the side, "The person who was just sent by the Zilan Palace in the previous month has only been a long time now, and this is gone." I think you're surrounded by young people, and this young man doesn't have a hard time, so don't get your hopes up. ”

Murong Jin took a few steps forward and raised his eyes slightly, but he didn't look at him, but said lightly: "Three years ago, Fuyue Palace." ”
