The wind and rain swept away the filth of the world, and countless streams of water gathered together and rattled along the ditch in the corner.

"Hasn't she left yet?"

"Fainted."

After hearing this, Ji Hongduo suddenly stood up from the dragon chair, slammed his knee on the table leg, gasped in pain, turned around and kicked the table indiscriminately. This time, he calmed down, now is not the time to see Liu Wan, and ordered Cheng Hai: "Find a few people to carry her back!" ”

"Then ......," Cheng Hai asked in a low voice, "What about the proton of Qi Kingdom?" ”

"No, if you like to kneel, kneel."

Emperor Wei had apparently made up his mind and left the child to fend for himself.

Before, with Liu Wan's protection, Yan Nanting still felt a little warm on his body, but now Liu Wan was carried away by several strong and healthy guards, and the cold wind and rain hit his body, and he even shivered a little.

"No, I have to live, and I can return to the Qi country alive and see my father and mother."

The wind and rain made the sky black, and the messenger who sent a letter back to Qi had run out of the capital for sixty miles, and the heavy rain did not stop, but he needed to rest. If this continues, the letters in the bosom will inevitably be wet by the rain.

There is no turning back, Qing Huan, who ran out of Yunyu Palace, saw Liu Wan lying on the step as if she was dead, which one is this singing?

Holding the umbrella in his hand that could be blown away by the wind at any time, he stood with his back to the palace wall. There are rules in the palace, and whenever the guards pass by, the women in the palace must avoid it. Of course, in order to avoid colliding with their masters, the guards always keep their heads down and walk on their own, so no one knows what the people who pass by look like.

"Why are you again? Every time you go to Zichen Palace, you don't leave anything good. ”

Xiao Jianchen muttered in his heart, he remembered that the woman on the step seemed to be called Liu Wan, and he knew a little about her. When my sister was still a concubine by the emperor's side, this Liu Wan was waiting in front of the emperor. Now, my sister has long passed away, and this Liu Wan has also moved to the embroidery room to work.

This journey was too long, enough for Xiao Jianchen to miss his sister and the Chinese New Year's Eve when Mrs. Xuan was frightened.

"Promise me not to check any further, Raven is also sad that I am gone, but she is gone after all, let her rest in peace. It also allows the living to live with peace of mind. ”

He clearly remembered Emperor Wei's request that night, but how could he not investigate, no matter who the person in the shadows was, he would investigate.

"Master Xiao, what kind of errand did we get, take a trip to Yong'an Palace on a rainy day." A few people who were already tired couldn't help but complain to Xiao Jianchen.

These few words also pulled Xiao Jianchen back from deep thought, "Oh," he was in a trance, "The matter that the Son of Heaven personally explained is your blessing, and there are so many words, be careful to go back to the military law to serve!" ”

There are three kinds of guards in the palace, one is the outstanding person recommended by each army, the second is the winner who is handpicked by Emperor Wei in the annual martial arts, and the third is the son of the general who is taken care of by the family like Xiao Jianchen. It stands to reason that Xiao Jianchen and his ilk are the least favored among the guards, but this guy actually relied on his outstanding martial arts skills to become a guard captain who convinced his subordinates. Last year, he was promoted two levels in a row and became the deputy commander of Luanyi's personal guard.

Since that time, Luan Yi's personal guards have called him "Xiao Ye"! However, these are not what Xiao Jianchen wants most.

"Master Xiao, my subordinates feel that the proton of Qi is really pitiful, not to mention that the saint will not let him return to Qi country, even if he goes back, he can only wear linen and filial piety for the queen of Qi country."

This is not true, Qi Guo's letter was tossed for more than 20 days on the way to Wei State, and I don't know what happened to the queen at this time. It's just that after all, it's not a country's business, and Xiao Jianchen has no intention of caring about these idle things. Yu Guang glanced at Liu Wan, who was pale, and really couldn't figure out why he wanted to wade into troubled waters.

"So sympathetic to that proton, could it be that you have any way to help him?"

Xiao Jianchen saw that there was no one around, so he no longer kept his mouth shut, and joked with them.

"What can be done then? Wei Guo's reply has already been sent, and this matter is already a certainty, and I don't think there is any need for him to toss it anymore. People have to bow their heads under the eaves, this is one of them. ”

"Dare to ask what the second one is?"

Others were also interested and wanted to hear about it.

"Second, their knowledge is short-sighted, and they always think that the emperor has the final say in everything in the world. But unlike us, who are often around the emperor, they know how to do it as a last resort. ”

"Hahaha, it's a last resort, there is some truth. What if it were you? Xiao Jianchen asked with a smile again.

The guard who was walking up thought for a while and replied: "The subordinate is a rough man, but he also understands the truth of the deep love between mother and son, and he is really embarrassed. It is disloyal to provoke the Wei State and provoke a dispute between the two countries in order to see his mother; But the mother was dying, but she couldn't see each other, which was unfilial. Loyalty and filial piety are difficult to achieve, so you have to choose one, proton for the sake of the country, I am afraid that the only choice is loyalty. ”

It is difficult to achieve both loyalty and filial piety, so I choose loyalty. Such a simple truth, reckless warriors still know. is as careful as Liu Wan, how can she not know? Mama Hong was also in the heavy rain and gradually understood Liu Wan's thoughts.

Cheng Hai sent a letter from Qi Guo, not necessarily with a heart. If this is the temptation of Zichen Palace, then the proton who is too calm and forbearant is fearful. Then, Emperor Wei will not be soft again, and Yan Nanting will only be in a more dangerous situation in the Wei Palace. But, if he makes trouble, he makes trouble like a child. Ji Hongduo would not have any scruples about him, and continued to let him live in the Wei Palace.

The mother is already unlucky, and the only way to save this child is to keep it.

Xiao Jianchen couldn't help but glance back at Liu Wan, who was in a coma, and sighed in his heart: "What a smart woman! "If she doesn't encourage Yan Nanting to make trouble, then things will be even more out of control.

A child knelt outside the main hall of Zichen Palace, and when he was about to fall, he aroused the compassion of a father: "Bring him in, I told him." ”

The wet child was led into Zichen Palace by Cheng Hai, and the female historians changed his clothes for him. With no clothes that fitted him, Yan sat in front of the window in a wide coat, his thoughts becoming clearer and clearer in the heavy rain. What to do? Let's make trouble!

"I don't want you to help me comb my hair, I want to see the emperor, and he will be kind to let me go back to see my mother!"

snatched the wooden comb from the palace maid's hand and fell to the ground, just right to resist the arrangement of the adults.

"Let's get out, I'll talk to him."

Ji Hongduo's voice sounded, and the female Shi Gong'e retreated. Yan Nanting suddenly burst into tears, and the irrepressible grief flowed from his tears.

"Don't cry, you are the crown prince of Qi, you will become the emperor of Qi in the future, what other big thing can you achieve if you cry so easily?" Ji Hongduo looked at Yan Nanting with disdain, this child, who was a few months younger than Jin Xiu, was a hostage in a foreign country alone, which was really distressing.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a proton of Qi State, maybe Ji Hongduo would have hugged him. However, there is an unbridgeable gap between them, just like Su Yusheng and him, they are destined to be let down.

"I don't cry, Nan Ting doesn't cry, can you let me go back and see my mother?"

Liu Wan, who she cared about the most, fainted in the heavy rain because of this child, which already upset Ji Hongduo. But he had to restrain himself as much as possible and told Yan Nanting: "Listen, Wei Guo's reply has been sent, and you can't go back to China to see your mother, this is an irrefutable fact." I only tell you once, if I understand it, I will go back, and if I don't understand you, even if you kneel to death in the heavy rain, I will not care. ”

There has never been hypocrisy between them, and straightforwardness is Ji Hongduo's usual style of acting. Yan Nanting seemed to know, raised her eyes and looked directly at Ji Hongduo, and finally gave in: "If there is news of the queen mother in the future, can you tell me?" ”

Ji Hongduo nodded and told him affirmatively: "Yes!" ”

A gentleman's word, the horse is difficult to chase. With Ji Hongduo's approval, everything is enough. He wants Ji Hongduo to be less wary of himself, so that he can return to the Qi Kingdom alive.

The heavy burden was pressed, and the tears in Yan Nanting's eyes finally did not fall, and flowed back to the bottom of his heart.
