Concubine De's dormitory.

Concubine De sat at the round table, on which a glass lamp was lit, and she was frowning and concentrating on the needlework in her hands.

The palace maid walked over, turned on the lamp a little, and then said to Concubine De: "Niangniang, let's do it tomorrow, watch carefully!" ”

Concubine De shook her head lightly and said, "I want to show off this wishful bag before tonight and tie it to the prince personally." She looked out of the window and saw two figures in the courtyard, one large and one small, chasing each other with fireworks in their hands.

The palace maid looked at Concubine De's eyes, and said, "If Niangniang also likes to set off fireworks, why don't you play with the prince and His Majesty." Look, how much fun they're having had! ”

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Concubine De's mouth, when she was once obsessed with trying to murder Zhao Zhi, she had already lost her qualification to be his mother. Since that day, although nothing seems to have happened between the two, there is no way to return to the previous intimacy. Estrangement, once formed, is much stronger than tacit understanding.

Outside the house, Zhao Zhi was tired of running, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said regretfully: "If only my mother could celebrate the New Year with me!" ”

Zhao Che touched his son's head and said, "Wait, mother will be back soon, and when the time comes, our family will never be separated again!" ”

Zhao Zhi pouted, and soon smiled again: "Zhi'er knows!" He turned around and shouted, "Xiao Anzi, bring me fireworks again!" ”

Xiao Anzi immediately gave Zhao Zhi the largest fireworks, and then carefully helped him light them, Zhao Zhi ran all over the courtyard with fireworks in his hands, teasing the palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard, and the sound of laughter came and went for a while.

In the entire Zijin Palace, it seems that only this small courtyard has some warmth, adding a touch of color to this cold palace group.

Tired of playing, Zhao Zhi was finally carried back to sleep by the person who was waiting, and as soon as Zhao Zhi left, the smile on Zhao Che's face disappeared.

At this time, a secret guard quickly came behind Zhao Che and reported: "Xia Shuang has sent back news from Yan Kingdom!" ”

"Speak!" Zhao Che said lightly.

"Chu Moyan has basically controlled the Yan Kingdom, and the remaining party of the crown prince has basically been cleared by him, and now the King of Qin has also gone to the Yan Kingdom, and he has already met with the Princess of Qin, and the Princess of Qin should not be in any danger now, Xia Shuang wants to ask her if she can come back?"

"Let her continue to protect Princess Qin's safety every step of the way, and if I have instructions, I will naturally inform her!" Zhao Che said lightly.

"Yes!" The Dark Guard vanished like a gust of wind.

At this time, another secret guard appeared and whispered a few words in Zhao Che's ear. Zhao Che's gaze changed suddenly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "It's been eight years, and it's hard for them, but I believe that all this will not be too far away!" ”

The moon was bright, but it was cold.

Yan Kingdom Palace.

When Chu Moyan pushed it open and entered the main hall, Zhao Qi was waiting for Emperor Yan to take medicine. When Emperor Yan saw Chu Moyan entering, he said to Zhao Qi, "You retreat first!" ”

Zhao Qi nodded, slowly retreated, and when he passed by Chu Moyan's side, he took a deep look at him.

Until there were only two people left in this large palace, father and son looked at each other, and neither of them spoke first. There seemed to be a cold wind passing through, and the room was cold. The lights flickered, and the light and dark light and shadow hit the faces of the two, and no one could see whose expressions.

In the end, Emperor Yan sighed and spoke first: "Mo Yan, come over a little bit, let my father take a good look at you!" ”

Chu Moyan pushed the wheelchair closer with an expressionless face, the position he chose was very good, the light was faintly enough to cover all the emotions in his eyes, but he could take all the emotions of the man on the bed into his eyes.

"You've grown up!" Emperor Yan said slowly, his voice had a softness and weakness after a long illness. Although the face has regained some blood color, it is still yellow. His eyes were still as sharp as before.

"yes, it's been six years!" Chu Moyan pretended to be relaxed and said, "The son has grown up, but the father is old!" ”

"Haha!" Emperor Yan smiled and said with emotion: "Yes, I am old!" ”

"I don't know why my father and Emperor Xuan'er came here?" Chu Moyan asked.

Emperor Yan paused, "Are you hating me?" Hate me and send you to Daxiang ruthlessly? ”

Chu Moyan smiled lightly, "Father Emperor did this just to protect his son in the environment at that time, how could his son not be considerate of his father's painstaking efforts!" ”

"If you think so, I'm relieved!" Emperor Yan said with relief.

"But!" Chu Moyan's words changed, "The power of the imperial brother is all what the father and emperor are used to, isn't it?" In fact, the father could have warned the imperial brother earlier, or he never included his sons in the list of your future successors, maybe some of them will not happen, but the father hopes that the sons can inherit the unification, and on the other hand, he continues to condone the growth of the imperial brother's strength, so even the father himself did not expect and uncontrollable situations to happen, so isn't the culprit of all this the father and the emperor? ”

"What the hell are you blaming me!" Emperor Yan said, "The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!" He paused for a moment, and then said, "What are you going to do with your imperial brother?" ”

Chu Moyan's fingers lightly tapped on the handle of the wheelchair, and a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The emperor's brother wants to murder his father, shouldn't it be his father's own decision to deal with it?" ”

Emperor Yan smiled self-deprecatingly, and said weakly: "Don't hurt his life, let him be a concubine, or send him to a remote place, and leave him alive!" ”

"At this time, I am still thinking about the imperial brother, and I am still diagnosing and treating the deep love between father and son!" Chu Moyan said with a smile.

"When you become a father, you will know my feelings today!" Emperor Yan's spirit became more and more poor, and finally said: "Why are you unwilling to borrow troops and Daxiang, now the jade seal is in your hands, and the ministers support you, this is the difference between you and your imperial brother, you can handle military affairs with full power."

The expression on Chu Moyan's face became a little serious, and then he said: "If the father can trust the son, then this matter will be handed over to the son!" ”

Emperor Yan sighed, and then said, "That's it, you have been a paying child since you were a child!" ”

"Thank you, Father!" Chu Moyan said lightly, "Father is tired, let's have a good rest!" ”

After finishing speaking, Chu Moyan went out and called the palace people at the door to enter and wait for Emperor Yan to rest.

After arriving at the door, he saw one of Chu Moyan's guards whispering in his ear: "At night, King Qin and Miss Murong seemed to have an argument, and at this time, Murong Xun had already returned to the palace!" ”

Hearing this, a hint of joy appeared between Chu Moyan's indifferent eyebrows, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, and said, "Got it!" ”

Not long after Murong Xun returned to the courtyard that Chu Moyan had arranged for her, she saw Fluttershy running in and said to Murong Xun with a happy face, "Girl, the second prince has sent something again!" ”

"Oh?" Murong Xun raised his head lightly.

Fluttershy was followed in by a young eunuch who was extremely clever, and when he saw Murong Xun, he immediately presented the celadon crooked-necked bottle in his hand, and a delicate red plum was inserted in the bottle.

Murong Xun's eyes swept lightly, his mouth was slightly cocked, and his fingers gently brushed the petals of the plum blossoms, "It's so beautiful!" ”

"The second prince knows that the girl likes it, and after the girl left today, he saw that this plum blossom grew very special, so he ordered someone to pick it carefully and give it to the girl!" The little eunuch observed Murong Xun's face and said with a smile.

"Fluttershy, take the plum blossoms!" Murong Xun said lightly, she dragged her chin and thought for a while, "The so-called courtesy is still exchanged, what should I send back to the second prince?" ”

The little eunuch was puzzled for a moment, "The master has always sent things, and he just happily accepted them, so there is a reason to send them back?" But although he had doubts in his heart, he was still waiting for Murong Xun's next step.

Murong Xun thought for a while, then said to Fluttershy, "Yingge, grind!" ”
