There is justice for 1 day
It's winter.
This is Luo Sheng's first winter in Kaiyang Palace.
Snow has been falling since the morning, and the snow foam is gradually covering everything white.
Wei Han put on a big hat and kissed Luo Sheng's cheek: "I'm out." β
"Hold your umbrella and be careful of slippery roads." Luo Sheng raised his hand to tidy up the tie for him, and said softly.
Wei Han smiled and nodded: "Got it." I'll come back when I'm done, let's eat sauerkraut and white meat pot in the evening. β
"Okay, it just so happens that the sauerkraut that Aunt Xiu made a few days ago is ready to eat."
Wei Han got the right words, Qingjun's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he pecked Luo Sheng's lips again before striding out.
Luo Sheng walked to the window and watched the man in the inky coat leave, and he unconsciously smiled on his lips.
Outside the window, the snow became even bigger, turning from snow foam to light goose feathers, flying with the cold wind.
As soon as Luo Sheng was about to leave the window, he saw the inky figure that had not been out of sight for a long time returned.
How did you get back?
Luo Sheng greeted him with doubts.
The curtain was lifted, and the cold air rushed in.
Wei Han hurriedly lowered the curtain.
"How did you come back?" Luo Sheng asked.
Wei Han looked at her and was silent for a moment: "Shi Yan is back." β
Hearing this, Luo Sheng's heart jumped, and he tried his best to keep his composure and said, "Call him in, I'll ask about the situation." β
Wei Han accompanied Luo Sheng to the west room, which was arranged as a study.
Shi Yan waited there, and immediately saluted when he saw the two.
"Is it going well?" Luo Sheng asked.
Shi Yan said with a smile: "According to the drawings you drawn, I found it smoothly, and the coffin was pulled back......
Luo Sheng was a little worried: "It's two coffins, right?" Don't get confused. β
"Don't worry, you can't mix it up, it's all done according to your orders."
Luo Sheng showed a smile at this time: "It's hard work." β
Shi Yan hurriedly shook his head: "It's not hard, it's not hard, it's a small honor to be able to do things for the princess." β
Wei Han glanced at him.
Shi Yan's heart sank, and he quickly smiled.
"Take me to see it."
Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but look at Wei Han.
"Do as the princess commands." Wei Han said lightly.
"Then come with me." Shi Yan put away his curiosity and led Luo Sheng to see the coffin that was brought back.
Two black-lacquered coffins were parked in a small courtyard.
The snow-covered eaves, the blue brick paved ground, and the black-lacquered coffin make this small courtyard cold and calm.
Luo Sheng walked over quickly, his eyes wandering between the two coffins.
"Which one is the one of the morning flowers?"
Shi Yan pointed to one of the coffins and said, "This is." β
Luo Sheng stretched out his hand and gently stroked the black lacquered coffin.
The coffin that came to the capital from Beihe in the wind and snow was cold.
Luo Sheng said in his heart: Chaohua, you finally went home.
After a long time, Luo Sheng instructed Hongdou: "Go and call Xiugu, her sister is back." β
Hongdou ran to the small kitchen and shouted: "Aunt Xiu, the master said that your sister is back." β
Sisters?
Xiuyue was stunned, and followed the red bean to the small courtyard with a blank face.
What caught my eye was the two black lacquer coffins.
"Master-" Xiuyue had a faint premonition of something and looked at Luo Sheng.
Luo Sheng chuckled at Xiuyue: "I heard you tell the story of you and Chaohua, I asked Sanhuo to go to Beihe to pick her up." β
Xiuyue's eyes trembled slightly, and she pointed to the coffin near Luo Sheng and asked, "Yes...... Is this one? β
Luo Sheng nodded lightly.
Xiuyue threw herself over and cried bitterly in the coffin.
Luo Sheng watched silently, trying his best to control his tears.
Xiuyue has an upright identity and can cry happily, but she can't.
A hand was placed on her shoulder and he took her over.
Luo Sheng raised his eyes to look at Wei Han.
"If you feel bad, cry. Laughing when you are happy and crying when you are sad, this is a natural reaction of people, and it does not have to be justified. β
Luo Sheng burst into tears.
Wei Han wrapped his arms around her shoulders, feeling calm and steady.
That night in Beihe, Luo'er cried silently at Asaka's corpse, and he hugged her.
It was the first time he had the audacity to hug the girl he liked.
How lucky he was to be able to hug her at any time now.
When she's sad, when she's happy, anytime.
It was a sunny day on the day of her burial.
Luo Sheng didn't let Wei Han accompany him, and only stood in front of the new grave with Xiuyue for a long time.
Those who accompanied were sent far away, including Red Bean and Chloe.
The wind whipped through the woods, blowing the hem of the plain cloak.
Xiuyue looked at Luo Sheng with red eyes: "Master, let's go back." β
Sister Chaohua finally got rid of the identity of the jade selection attendant, left the cold Beihe, and guarded her and the county lord in the nearest place.
In the future, as long as they want to think about Sister Chaohua, they can come to see her at any time.
Come and see her in the open.
It was wonderful, something she had never imagined before. After a hundred years, she will also be buried here, guarding the county lord with Sister Chaohua.
"Well, let's go back."
Luo Sheng gathered his cloak and walked forward.
Xiuyue followed closely behind.
Hongdou rolled her eyes, pulled Kou'er and muttered in a low voice: "The girl is also kind to Aunt Xiu, and she loves the house and Wu." β
Kou Er pursed her lips: "Aunt Xiu's cooking skills are good, and she is a good person, and the girl treats her a lot more normally." β
Hmph, anyway, the number one girl is not her, who should be different.
Hongdou was angry: "Chry, why are you turning your elbow out?" β
She and Kou'er have been friends since childhood, how can they not be reliable at a critical time.
Kou Er glanced at her: "What kind of elbow is turned out, Xiugu is her own person." Oops, Xiugu seems to be going to make red braised mutton tonight. β
"Really?" Hongdou swallowed his saliva and threw the annoyance of the competition for the first big girl out of the clouds.
As soon as Luo Sheng returned to the house, someone came to report: "Princess, I sent a letter from the garden." β
After Emperor Yong'an abdicated, he changed his title to King Jing, and took those concubines including Xiao Guifei to live in the garden.
Luo Sheng was still a little surprised when he heard the letter from leaving the park.
After reading the letter, it turned out to be Xiao Guifei's invitation.
After thinking for a moment, Luo Sheng decided to go and see this old man.
Leaving the flowers and trees in the garden, it is empty, and the crying sound of walking in the middle of it drifts into the ears with the wind.
There was a thick layer of snow under his feet, and no one swept it away in time.
"Master, watch your step." Chloe reminded.
Red Bean pouted: "You shouldn't have come to such an obscure place." β
While speaking, Xiao Guifei's residence arrived.
The maid waiting outside the door raised the curtain.
Luo Sheng walked in and saw a woman with a dull color.
Xiao Guifei, who was once radiant, was like a flower that had lost its moisture, becoming pale and fragile.
"Miss Luo is here." Concubine Xiao stared at Luo Sheng for a moment and opened her mouth.
Hongdou raised his eyebrows and scolded angrily: "Our master is now the princess, don't shout." β
In the face of the little maid's reprimand, Xiao Guifei didn't care, only looked at Luo Sheng and said, "Miss Luo, can we talk alone?" β
Luo Sheng groaned and instructed Hongdou and Chryle: "You go outside and wait." β
The two were a little worried: "Master-"
"Go ahead, I know what I know."
Hearing Luo Sheng say this, the two silently withdrew.
Only Luo Sheng and Xiao Guifei were left in the house.
"Niangniang called me, is there something wrong?"
Xiao Guifei laughed at herself: "At this time, what does Miss Luo still call me Niangniang?" β
Luo Sheng said lightly: "At this time, Niangniang still calls me Miss Luo." β
Xiao Guifei froze for a moment, and her smile cooled down: "I called Miss Luo to come, but I just have doubts and want to ask clearly." β
"Mother, please speak."
"Xiugu...... Is it your person who has been yours for a long time? β
Luo Sheng smiled: "Xiu Gu has always been my cook. β
Xiao Guifei sneered: "Miss Luo, don't be sloppy with me, I mean you already know her identity, right?" β
Luo Sheng nodded slightly.
"Then I can give birth to a daughter, and it is also in your plan?"
Luo Sheng was silent for a moment and said, "Sort of." β
"That's really ......," Xiao Guifei muttered.
After falling from the clouds and feeling the heat and coldness of the world, she calmed down, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong.
When did it become what it is now?
It started with the abolition of the crown prince.
After the abolition of the crown prince, everything slipped towards the uncontrollable abyss, and finally changed the dynasty and changed hands.
In addition to the little emperor, the one who benefited the most was undoubtedly the Luo family.
And the emperor strengthened his determination to abolish the crown prince, starting from when she was pregnant.
The more Xiao Guifei thought about it, the more she hated, and as her daughter's illness became more and more serious, her hatred reached its peak, and she had the idea that she had to see Luo Sheng.
"Don't you think it's mean?" Xiao Guifei asked with hatred.
Luo Sheng asked calmly: "Niangniang is afraid that Xiu Gu will use medicinal diet recipes to help other concubines give birth to children, and force her to take 'plum juice', don't you feel despicable?" β
Xiao Guifei's eyes burned: "I just don't understand, why did Aunt Xiu drink plum juice but she was unharmed?" β
Luo Sheng smiled: "Good people have good rewards." β
"A good person has a good reward!" Concubine Xiao, who had always been calm, suddenly became excited, "What about my daughter, what's wrong with her?" She was born as a princess, but now she has become a caged bird without any freedom, and even when she is sick, she has no way to seek medical treatment, so she can only fend for herself. You say, what's wrong with the child? β
In the face of Xiao Guifei's madness, Luo Sheng still looked calm: "Yes, the child is innocent." β
What is innocent, not to mention Xiao Guifei's children.
How many years ago, weren't the babies who escaped by the royal guards innocent?
"If the mother can be trusted, I will ask the doctor to come and show the child."
Xiao Guifei was stunned for a moment, staring at Luo Sheng suspiciously.
Luo Sheng's expression was frank: "The little county lord can come to the world, and I have some relationship with me, so I naturally hope that she will grow up safely." β
"Really?"
Luo Sheng smiled: "Do you think I need to lie to you?" β
Concubine Xiao looked at her in a daze and muttered, "As long as my daughter is fine, then ...... Forget it......"
Originally, she had the idea of burning the jade, even if she couldn't kill Luo Sheng, she would bite off a piece of meat from the other party and let her taste the pain.
But Miss Luo said that she would let her daughter grow up safely......
Xiao Guifei thought about this, and tears fell in her eyes.
"Why don't you relax. Although the garden is not as magnificent as the palace, it is also a lot less disturbing, and more importantly, you have a daughter who is connected to your blood. If you had to choose, would you be a high-ranking concubine in the deep palace, or a gentle and amiable mother in the garden? β
Xiao Guifei pursed her lips and smiled bitterly: "Miss Luo is so talkative." β
But she was convinced.
Compared with the high-ranking concubine Niangniang in the deep palace, of course, what she wants to do is Rou'er's mother.
The anger between Xiao Guifei's eyebrows and eyes quietly dissipated.
Luo Sheng left the park and soon sent a doctor to treat Xiao Guifei's daughter.
The little girl was born prematurely and weakly, not suffering from any serious illness, but the doctor came to consult every day, and the people around her took good care of her, and she got better soon.
It's just that when the imperial doctor came again, Emperor Yong'an, who had already abdicated as King Jing, was not good.
The imperial doctor tossed and hung Emperor Yong'an, and the news quickly spread into the palace.
Luo Chen got the letter, and his heart was indifferent.
He is clear about the truth of the return to the throne, and he naturally has only hatred and no affection for Emperor Yong'an, who is stained with the blood of his family.
The title given to that person King Jing was just to successfully complete the succession of imperial power and reduce bloodshed.
But in order to stop the world's discussions, it is still necessary to express something.
Luo Chen instructed his henchmen to visit him on his behalf, and arranged for several imperial doctors to go.
Also receiving the news was Wei Han.
Wei Han walked into the garden and came to the terminally ill Emperor Yong'an.
The once majestic emperor was lying motionless on the bed at the moment, like a fish that had been out of the water for a long time, faintly emitting a fishy smell.
It's embarrassing, it's ugly, it's embarrassing.
The people in the room saluted Wei Han one after another, with fear and caution.
Since moving in and leaving the park, the new emperor's indifference to this side can probably only be felt by those who are in it. Therefore, in the face of King Kaiyang, who was quite valued by the new emperor, of course, there was only awe.
As soon as King Jing dies, whether they can live or not may have to rely on King Kaiyang to speak.
Seeing Wei Han, Emperor Yong'an tried his best to keep his eyes open and stared at him.
Wei Han raised his eyebrows slightly.
It turned out that the "royal brother" was sober.
"You guys stay away for a while, me and ...... Brother Wang said a few words. β
A cold voice sounded, and the people in the room looked at each other, and quickly retreated.
The room was empty, and the strong smell of medicine filled every corner.
Wei Han looked at Emperor Yong'an condescendingly, and asked softly: "Actually, I have always wanted to ask, why did you send someone to kill my parents, and why I became the son of Concubine Shu." β
Hearing this, Emperor Yong'an was speechless, and his face trembled violently.
"I couldn't figure it out for years." Wei Han looked at him with a cold expression, "Until the rumor spread among the people that you listened to the words of the national teacher and wanted to kill all the women born on the seventh day of the seventh month of the seventh month of the Wuchen year to add blessings and longevity to Princess Changle, I suddenly had a guessββ"
He paused for a moment and said lightly: "No matter what your real purpose is in killing those women by listening to the words of the national teacher, in short, you are convinced of the words of the national teacher." Did you do this back then because of the national teacher? β
Emperor Yong'an's eyes widened suddenly.
He has always been sober, so Wei Han's words shocked and painful him.
It turns out that Wei Han remembers everything!
In the second year of his ascension to the throne, his eldest son died young, the situation was turbulent, and the national teacher promoted the star that could help him stabilize the country, which was Wei Han.
Naturally, he had to keep the star by his side and carefully teach, hone and cultivate, and give him a natural and loyal identity.
At that time, Wei Han was four years old, and the stupid son of the former emperor's concubine, Concubine Shu, happened to be four years old.
A younger brother who is more than thirty years younger than him is simply the most suitable identity.
It's just that he planned in a thousand ways, but he didn't expect Wei Han to remember the events of the year!
Seeing Emperor Yong'an's reaction, Wei Han smiled: "It seems that I didn't guess wrong, then I beheaded the national teacher with a knife that day, and I didn't wronged him." β
Emperor Yong'an's eyes widened, and there was an unpleasant snoring sound in his throat.
