The grandson is guilty! Jiang Heng opened his mouth and said, and the thousands of words he wanted to explain finally melted into a sentence of guilt.

Mrs. Jiang breathed a deep sigh of relief, looking at Jiang Heng's eyes full of disappointment. At the beginning, I thought that this would be another pride of the Jiang family, but I never thought that after so many years, all the hard work of more than 20 years would be in vain.

"Jiang Heng, if you still have the slightest conscience, treat Xuanyi well. In this life, the Jiang family owes her, you owe her, and I owe her. I have been moody for so long, and Xuanyi has taken good care of me. If there is no me in the future, you can remember my words. ”

"Where did grandfather say this......" Jiang Heng was about to open his mouth to refute, but he was interrupted by Jiang Taifu.

"Although I will always say such flattering things from you, but who in the world does not experience life and death? You have to look down on it after all, Jiang Heng, what will happen to the Jiang family in the future depends on you. ”

Jiang Heng raised his head and looked at Mrs. Jiang on the bed, but saw that Mrs. Jiang had already turned his back, as if he was unwilling to speak.

"The grandson knows that the grandson will not let his grandfather down."

Mrs. Jiang nodded lightly, but she didn't know if Jiang Heng had noticed. Then he slowly spoke, "You go down first, I'm tired and want to have a good rest." ”

"The grandson is leaving." Jiang Heng opened his mouth and helped Mrs. Jiang cover the quilt, and then got up from the ground and walked outside.

Gently closing the door, Mrs. Jiang turned around and slowly glanced in the direction of the door. Jiang Heng, the Jiang family's future depends on you. You promised me that you wouldn't let me down.

After going out, Xuanyi was still waiting outside. Seeing Jiang Heng come out, he hurriedly touched the tears on his face.

Reluctantly holding out a smile, Xuanyi was already hugged by Jiang Heng with his hand before he could speak. Xuanyi felt Jiang Heng's embrace in surprise, but she couldn't hold it back any longer, and the tears in her eyes poured down.

"Thank you." Jiang Heng spoke softly, and the hand holding the person in his arms tightened.

For such a long time, all of Xuanyi's efforts Jiang Heng has seen in his heart. It's a stone-like mind, and it's been moved at this time. Fortunately, there is still a long time, and everything has a chance to start all over again.

Xuanyi cried for a long time, just a hug from Jiang Heng, and a "thank you" was enough to make her feel comforted.

A lot of things don't have the opportunity to start all over again, but we can start from scratch. If there are some things that are destined to not come back, then it is better to live in the present. The person who can't come back still hopes that you are alive and well.

Shen Cuobai was dealing with government affairs in the imperial study, and because of Anyang, Cheng An had to come back to accompany Shen Cuobai.

"Your Majesty, I've been watching it for so long, why don't you take a good rest?"

Cheng An put the tea on the side and looked at Shen Cuobai's gaze, feeling a little more pity. Since he came back, he has been looking at Shen Cuobai's appearance, even when he was the first emperor, he was still not as diligent as Shen Cuobai.

Shen Cuobai nodded lightly, put down the fold in his hand, and stretched out to rub his somewhat sore head.

When Jiang Heng came in from outside, what he saw was Shen Cuobai's tired face. glanced at Cheng An, but Cheng An was helpless.

"Your Majesty, the state affairs are busy, but you still have to take care of your body."

Shen Cuobai nodded lightly, watching Jiang Heng's complexion getting better and better recently, but he also unconsciously brought a little pleasure.

"I've heard that you've been in a good relationship with Xuanyi lately, so that's right. It's been a long time since I've seen Xuanyi, so if you both have time, why don't you come back and stay for a few days. ”

Jiang Heng saluted Shen Cuobai, and then responded. Shen Cuobai got up from the dragon chair and walked towards the window on the side. Open the window and look into the distance. If Jiang Heng observes carefully, he will find that Shen Cuobai can always see that it is always in one direction, there is the border pass, it is Liancheng, and there is Wei Zhaohua.

"The emperor has something on his mind?" Jiang Heng opened his mouth and asked, if it was placed in front of others, it would be disrespectful to ask like this, but for Jiang Heng, Shen Cuobai had never felt like this.

Shen Cuobai nodded and pointed to the fold on the table. Jiang Heng understood, stepped forward and picked up the top one, glanced at it, and it was already in place, "It turns out that the thoughts of the ministers are already so perfunctory?" ”

"Where are they perfunctory, they are worried about the bloodline of the royal family, and they are thinking about the entire Dongqi!" Shen Cuobai said, a little melancholy flashing on his face. Zhaohua, if you know that I am in a difficult situation now, I don't know if I will feel distressed?

Jiang Heng was slightly stunned, but he didn't know how to dissuade him.

The news that Shen Cuobai returned to the palace with two women has spread throughout the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and there are no concubines in the harem in the past three years, which has made the courtiers very dissatisfied. Even if it wasn't to balance the forces of all parties in the imperial court, Shen Cuobai's pure heart and few desires were still not conducive to the bloodline inheritance of the Eastern Qi royal family.

Under such a banner, even if it is a civilian woman who does not know her identity, it is still feasible.

Therefore, the ministers asked the emperor to give the two girls an identity. Such a thing, even if Shen Cuobai didn't say it, Jiang Heng still knew that it was almost impossible.

Even if there was no matter of Wei Zhaohua of the Daduan Palace sacrificing his life to seek an antidote, Shen Cuobai would still not move any woman to think about it.

But this is obviously not in line with the spirit of a king, and it is not like what a king should do.

"Your Majesty, this matter is exactly what the minister wants to say to the emperor." Jiang Heng spoke, knelt on the ground, and bowed to Shen Cuobai, "The harem has no owner, which is an unruly thing. At the beginning, there was still a glimmer of hope for the county lord of Zhaohua, but now, it is impossible for the county lord of Zhaohua to come back. Even if the emperor waits for a lifetime, it is impossible. ”

Shen Cuobai's eyes fell on Jiang Hengdi, flashing a little incredulous.

"If you were me, would you be the queen? A civilian woman doesn't say, a person you don't love, are you willing to be with her for the rest of your life? Shen Cuobai asked, as if he was trapped in a labyrinth, desperately looking for an exit.

Jiang Heng didn't hesitate, and spoke directly, "Yes!" ”

Shen Cuobai turned his face away, as if he didn't want to hear Jiang Heng answer like this.

Jiang Heng then spoke, "Your Majesty, it's like you persuaded Weichen, and Weichen also persuaded the emperor." Coming out of the past, in fact, our obsession with Zhaohua is just the last bit of comfort. But the emperor's obsession with Zhaohua is an inseparable part. When the emperor is here, it will be like drawing blood and cutting flesh, and take the county lord of Zhaohua out of the emperor's life! ”

"You!" Shen Cuobai pointed at Jiang Heng, but he didn't know what to say. Do you refute Jiang Heng? But everything Jiang Heng said was reasonable. For Shen Cuobai, he can't do without himself, but he can't do without Wei Zhaohua.

That's faith, it's unchanging reverence. For thousands of generations, it is not dead or perishable.

"Stand down!" Shen Cuobai opened his mouth and said, Jiang Heng still wanted to say something, but when he touched Anyang's gaze on the side, he had to shut up again. Shen Cuobai was already angry, and it was useless to say more.

Jiang Heng was helpless, but in the end, he could only retreat. Cheng An saluted Shen Cuobai and retreated.

Shen Cuobai was suddenly the only one left in the imperial study, looking at the direction of Liancheng, Shen Cuobai suddenly felt regretful. Why did you keep Wei Zhaohua alone? If not, he might still be by his side. Shen Cuobai smiled bitterly and eased his senses. He regretted it, but there was no way, he couldn't gamble with Wei Zhaohua's life, Shen Cuobai didn't dare.

Jiang Heng walked out of the imperial study, and just as he wanted to leave, he was stopped by Cheng An from behind.

"Commander Jiang has been in good spirits on happy occasions recently, and the servants have heard about the very love with Princess Xuanyi in the Jiang Mansion. But what Commander Jiang said to the emperor today was really a bit excessive. Cheng An spoke, with a little embarrassment on his face.

Jiang Heng sighed, and finally shook his head helplessly.

"During that time, I always thought that the emperor was a ruthless person, but now I understand. In fact, the person who puts Zhaohua in his bones the most is the emperor. It's just that the emperor doesn't want to say it, for so many years, he hasn't said it, but he has done it for everyone to see. The emperor persuaded me at the beginning, but now that it comes to himself, he doesn't know how to deal with himself. ”

"The emperor's mind has never been clear to us." Cheng An also shook his head.

Jiang Heng shook his head, "How are those two girls now, what is the difference between the emperor and them?" ”

"I don't know about this, but I heard that one of the girls named Zhaoyi has a bad temper, and she not only beat Anyang, but also another girl. Such a person is afraid that he is not worthy of being in the back position. Comparatively, it is more suitable for Miss Wangsi. Cheng An thought and spoke.

Jiang Heng nodded, a little thoughtful, "I didn't expect that there was a word "Zhao" in the name, but it didn't erase any anger. It's just that another girl is cheaper, if nothing else, even if she comes from a mediocre background, she can still be the queen of Dongqi. If you can give birth to a son and a half daughter, it will be more stable. ”

"Commander Jiang better not say these words to the emperor, otherwise the emperor will definitely be angry again!" Cheng An said, and couldn't help but gesture at the edge of his mouth. Jiang Heng understood and shook his head helplessly.

The two of them said goodbye to each other, and Jiang Heng walked outside. After leaving the palace, Jiang Mansion still has a lot to do. Cheng An also returned to the study, and Shen Cuobai's side still needed to be taken care of.
