140 The Sudden Truth (2)
He Xuan walked into the room with the emperor, and the originally stuffy air was suddenly refreshed. The emperor only let Fu Hai follow him, and the rest of the people stayed downstairs.
I don't know if this room hasn't been used for a long time, although it has been cleaned, but it still doesn't feel a little popular. The room must be burning with incense similar to the scent of jasmine, and it is faintly wafting from nowhere.
He Xuan was still troubled by the doubts just now in her heart at this time, and just silently followed the emperor all the way forward until she came to the second floor, a chic room.
This time, He Xuan finally found the source of this fragrance. She unconsciously raised her head, and in the midst of the bursts of aroma, a hanging scroll was hanging in the most conspicuous position in the room.
It's okay not to look at this painting, but when He Xuan saw the characters on the painting clearly, she suddenly had a very unreal feeling, and she rubbed her eyes vigorously, so as not to interfere with her vision with light smoke...... But when she saw it more clearly, He Xuan realized that she hadn't misread anything......
Isn't the woman in this painting the lady who appeared with Xiu Fei in the middle of the night in the middle of the night that night in the Liudu Temple? Although the lady's makeup is very different from the person in this painting, and the description is a little old, but the eyebrows and eyes can still be seen.
Who is she? Why did she protect Liao Yong herself? Why did the emperor have her portrait? ……
The doubts just now have not been eliminated, and many questions rushed into He Xuan's mind at once...... In this way, He Xuan stood in front of the portrait and looked at it intently for a long, long time......
Han Mingyue didn't bother her, because he himself was looking at the portrait in front of him, and the two of them stood silently in front of the portrait. Seeing this, Fuhai quietly retreated.
After a long time, Han Mingyue withdrew his gaze, he turned his face to look at He Xuan, who was still in a daze at the portrait, smiled slightly, and asked, "Why do you look so fascinated?" Your demeanor today is too different from what you usually are. ”
Hearing Han Mingyue's words, He Xuan lowered his head, but did not answer.
"You...... Do you know the person in the painting? Feeling that He Xuan's complexion had changed, Han Mingyue asked.
"Oh, back to the emperor's words. Wechen ...... I don't know who the person in the painting is. This sentence did not deceive the king, but it was really a non-answer.
"How do you look like a god?"
"Your Majesty, the minister is not good at Danqing, although this painting does not look like it is from everyone's hands, but it is painted vividly, and the details are also extremely thoughtful...... That's why the minister was fascinated......"
Listening to He Xuan's words, Han Mingyue nodded and said with a smile, "You're right. This painting is indeed not the work of any celebrity, but the handiwork of mine......"
When He Xuan heard this, he hurriedly knelt down, secretly scolding his mouth for not choosing his words, and said in his mouth: "Weichen doesn't know, please forgive the emperor." ”
"You are telling the truth, and you are faithful, what is the sin to be forgiven? Get up......"
Seeing He Xuan slowly get up, the emperor put his hands behind his back and was silent for a while in front of the portrait before continuing, "It's a good thing that you look carefully. Firmly help me keep this man in my heart. It's been more than 20 years, and her appearance should have changed a little...... Many people told me that she was no longer alive, but I didn't believe it, I always believed that she was still alive......"
Speaking of this, the emperor turned around, looked at He Xuan, and said, "Help me find her...... If it doesn't work in one month, it will be a year, and if it doesn't work in a year, it will be ten years...... It wasn't until the day I died of old age that I wanted to believe that she was indeed gone......"
"Your Majesty, please forgive me for being presumptuous, I wonder if the emperor can tell his subordinates the name and surname of this person or the address of his hometown, so that he can ......"
Before He Xuan finished speaking, he saw the emperor shaking his head at him, so he stopped talking, only to hear the emperor say: "These are no longer of any use." If you can find it with these things, why do you need to wait until now? As he spoke, the emperor shook his head with a smile and said, "I don't like you saying that in order to find her, I even came up with a wanted list with a reward, but in that case, it will definitely break her heart...... What's more, when I look for her, I just want to know if she is alive, if she is doing well, if she is well, I ...... You don't have to bother......"
Looking at the emperor's demeanor, He Xuan asked in a moment's speechlessness, "Your Majesty...... Is this someone you love? ”
Asked by He Xuan, Han Mingyue was stunned for a moment, then smiled and whispered, "She...... Yes......"
"That'...... If you can watch the people you like happy, will you feel happy? ”
"Maybe...... Although, there may be some jealousy and sourness in my heart, but the so-called cherishing, isn't it fulfillment? If the other party loves him deeply and is willing to live with him, he will fulfill himself at the same time as he or she will fulfill himself...... But if it is...... But if there are many, they can't ...... Isn't watching each other happy another way to fulfill yourself......"
Listening to Han Mingyue's words, He Xuan was also stunned and didn't say anything, she thought to herself: "If it is...... If he had replaced the so-called love with hatred, perhaps he would be happier than he is now...... At least, he knew that what he had now was his way out......"
"Yes. Emperor. In this matter, Weichen must try his best to do it. Although I dare not boast that it will be complete, the minister will do his best! ”
Han Mingyue nodded and said, "You don't have to let outsiders know about this matter. Except for you, no one, including Liao Yong, you don't want to reveal a word, understand? ”
"Yes."
At this moment, He Xuan thought that maybe this person was really similar. However, no matter what, after meeting Mrs. Liao, I still have to go to the Liudu Temple. Looking at the situation that night, I am afraid that the relationship between that lady and Liao Yong must be extraordinary, and she is so similar to this person, even if it is not the same person, I am afraid that it will be related......
At this moment, I suddenly heard the sound of someone walking on the stairs. After a while, Tomami appeared in front of the two.
"Your Majesty, Zuo Junzhong and Zuo Xiangye have arrived. I'm waiting downstairs now! ”
"Why is he here? Say what's wrong? ”
Fu Hai shook his head and said, "I heard the little eunuch who came with him say that it seems that something happened in the north, so he hurriedly entered the palace and came to discuss with the emperor." ”
Han Mingyue nodded, a few days ago, he received several letters sent from the north in succession to Bamianli urgently, saying that there was an abnormal movement at the border, it seems that Zuo Junzhong came here today for this matter.
"Did you tell him, is Lord He here?"
Fuhai smiled and said, "Naturally, there is none. The palace people downstairs, the servants have also ordered, today the emperor came here, no one brought anyone and no one followed, but the emperor suddenly wanted to come out and come here to relax. ”
Han Mingyue nodded with a smile and said, "You are becoming more and more proficient in doing things." Go and send him up. ”
Fu Hai answered and went downstairs.
"It's too late for you to leave now, go back and hide."
He Xuan couldn't help but feel funny, it turned out that in front of the emperor, there were times when she needed to dodge. But at this time, it was too late to think about it, because the sound of two footsteps had already come up, and He Xuan dodged and hid behind the screen behind the emperor. He Xuan looked at it, this screen was made of double-sided embroidered brocade, which looked very dense and should not be seen.
At the same time that He Xuan turned behind the screen, Zuo Junzhong had already arrived upstairs, he stood at the staircase, straightened his clothes, and then took steady steps and came to the emperor.
"Minister, Zuo Junzhong, please give peace to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live."
"Excuse me. Get up. But what's the news from the north? ”
"Back to the emperor, the alien races on the northern border are indeed variable. There have been frequent incidents of burning and looting on the border recently, and the newspaper just reported that three days ago, two more villages were attacked, and one of them had been almost razed to the ......ground."
As he spoke, Zuo Junzhong handed over the fold in his hand to the emperor, and he stood aside with his head down.
Just when the emperor was intently watching the folds, Zuo Junzhong noticed a pair of boots behind the screen......
He Xuan is really the so-called "head and tail" today, just thinking about hiding her figure, although this double-sided embroidered brocade is indeed dense, but she didn't notice that under this screen, there is a place about two inches high, which is empty, and her own pair of black boots are all over the eyes of others.
Knowing that there was someone behind the screen, Zuo Junzhong naturally understood that the emperor wanted to hide something from him. After being an official in the court for so many years, Zuo Junzhong greatly understands what it means to have more than one thing and one thing less. He really wishes that the emperor wouldn't tell him anything, and then slowly withdraw the rights in his hands, and then allow himself to return to his hometown, guard some fields by himself, and take care of his old age...... Therefore, Zuo Junzhong didn't make any noise, just pretended not to see it.
Han Mingyue looked at the folds and said, "This matter, when Ming'er was in the early dynasty, you brought it up and discussed it well." Last time, it was just an attack, and it didn't cause any major casualties, so forget it, let the local government come forward to negotiate, but now, this matter is categorically intolerable. ”
"The minister understands, the minister will go back and write the excerpt now. Ming'er went to the court early. ”
Han Mingyue nodded and asked Zuo Junzhong to step back.
Zuo Junzhong gave a salute, turned around and prepared to go downstairs, but just as he turned around, he inadvertently saw the portrait hanging on the wall, and when he saw this portrait, Zuo Junzhong suddenly understood what was the matter with the emperor carrying himself today. Forget about other things, but Zuo Junzhong can't ignore this matter......
