Even if the Dong family still wants to move, they have to weigh two more points.

Sure enough, the next moment, Emperor Yonghe looked at Dong Cheng and said slowly, "I originally wanted to keep you for a while longer, but I was afraid that so many of your troops stationed around Fengjing would eventually cause the people to be uneasy, so I had to let you bring the soldiers and horses back to Liaodong first, and maybe I could let you rush back to Liaodong for the New Year." As for Liaodong, I still have to rely on Ling Zun a lot. ”

"Thank you Your Majesty for your kindness, it's better for the minister to return to Liaodong earlier." Dong Cheng arched his hand.

Emperor Yonghe nodded, with a warm smile, "With Ling Zun and your Dong family children helping me guard the northeast, I can also feel at ease." That being the case, I won't keep you any longer, and I guess there are still a lot of trivial matters to deal with before I set off. ”

These "trivial matters" are the so-called He, Emperor Yonghe and Dong Cheng all know it well.

Dong Cheng responded respectfully.

Emperor Yonghe nodded with satisfaction, and when he turned his head to look at His Royal Highness's ministers, the smile on his face was much colder, and he waved his hand a little impatiently, "What are you doing here?" Let's all go down. ”

Where else would anyone else dare to do anything? In fact, it is better to be able to walk away from under the nose of Emperor Yonghe than to be looked at by him unpleasantly, and it is better to have a meal at the head of the meal.

Dong Cheng and Jing'an Hou also surrendered and wanted to retreat together.

Emperor Yonghe raised his voice and said, "Marquis Jing'an will stay first." ”

Jing Anhou frowned suspiciously and stopped.

Emperor Yonghe glanced at Wei Yan lightly, and Wei Yan immediately understood, so he bowed and turned his head into the apse.

After a while, Empress Zheng and Pei Jinzhen were led to the front hall.

Jing'an Hou didn't know why, but when he saw Pei Jinzhen beside Empress Zheng, he suddenly realized.

Whether it was Emperor Yonghe or Marquis Jing'an, when they looked at Pei Jinji, their expressions were a little complicated, but fortunately, Pei Jinzhen did not have any different colors, and it seemed that there was no change from more than two months ago, but he squatted calmly and calmly, and saluted, "The courtiers knock on Your Majesty, long live, long live, long live." ”

When Emperor Yonghe coughed lightly and raised his hand to flatten her, he turned his head and bent his knee towards Jing'an Hou, "Father." ”

"Get up!" Jing'an Hou said in a deep voice.

Emperor Yonghe cleaned his throat, "It's good to come back safely, I have wronged you during this time." ”

Everyone in the hall knows what this "grievance" is.

"For the sake of the time, no matter how wronged there is, there is nothing wronged." Pei Jinzhen lowered her head and replied, she would not say generously, she was not aggrieved at all. However, she understood as early as the beginning that relatives were distant and close, and it was normal for Emperor Yonghe and Jing'an Hou to choose to sacrifice her, whether it was for the sake of the overall situation or for Yan Chong. But it is also because of the distance between relatives, although Pei Jinzhen has been wronged and sad, it has long passed.

Only her words made the expressions of Emperor Yonghe and Jing'an Hou sneered for a moment.

Emperor Yonghe coughed again, and Empress Zheng came to his side and helped him gently pat his back, and finally eased up. "I left you here because I wanted you to see your daughter-in-law, and I had a bad idea. There is still chaos in this Fengjing City now, and I mean that if they let their mother and son stay in the palace for a few more days, they can be regarded as accompanying the queen. Wait until things in the city are sorted out before sending them back to your home, and you can concentrate on errands without worries. ”

These words were said to Jing Anhou, and they can be regarded as reasonable.

What's more, it was clear that it was grace, and Jing'an Hou naturally had no objections, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "Thank you Your Majesty for your grace, it is their blessing that their mother and son can stay in the palace." "Now, there is still chaos in Fengjing City, and Jing'an Hou is leading errands, so naturally he has no time to take care of Pei Jinji's mother and son.

Emperor Yonghe raised his hand, "You don't have to be so polite to me. When he looked at Pei Jinji, he hesitated slightly.

Obviously, I am afraid that she will not like it.

Pei Jinzhen still cares about Xiao Qi, who is still on the run, no matter what, in the palace, it must be safer.

didn't wait for Emperor Yonghe to ask, but said respectfully, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace!" ”

This is an indication of attitude, and the expressions of Emperor Yonghe and Jing'an Hou can't help but ease.

Jing Anhou still had a heavy burden on him, so he didn't stay long.

Pei Jinzhen turned his head and glanced at the emperor and queen, his eyes flashed, and he smiled, "I'll send my father out of the palace!" ”

And for good reason.

The emperor naturally wouldn't stop it, Pei Jinzhen was blessed, and he went to the Chengming Palace with the Marquis of Jing'an.

The hall was empty again, and the breath that Emperor Yonghe was holding in his heart seemed to be leaked in an instant, and the whole person could no longer hold on and collapsed in the large dragon chair, with an itch in his throat, and then coughed earth-shatteringly, and his whole body trembled.

He is obviously a tall and sturdy man, but I don't know when he started, he was tortured to the point of being sick and weak, and the dragon robe that was only made in autumn was worn on his body, empty, and his body was slumped, lining the dragon chair and the empty hall, which became more and more lonely.

Empress Zheng saw that her heart was sour, but she didn't hold back after all, she stepped forward, stretched out her hand, and gently helped him to calm his breath.

When his cough gradually slowed down, he took the medicinal tea from Wei Yan's hand and served him to drink it.

Emperor Yonghe raised his head and looked at Empress Zheng's flickering face from the candlelight that was clearly extinguished, because of Fang Cai's cough, his face was tinged with a strange red, only that red, lined with the dark blue and white lips under his eyes, with some indescribable sickness and weakness.

He grabbed Empress Zheng's hand tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw.

He let out a long sigh before he said quietly, "Xingqiao, this high place is too cold...... But I can't go down. ”

Empress Zheng looked at the man in front of her, between them, it was no longer a simple love and hate, but at this moment, she still felt her heart tightened, the corners of her eyes were wet, and a tear was rolling down.

She didn't say anything, but she cried.

Emperor Yonghe happened to see the tears clearly, but he suddenly laughed.

He slowly rested his head on her chest, and Empress Zheng froze, not pushing him away.

The candle flame was faint, casting the shadows of the emperor and queen on the light of the ground in the hall, entangled in one place, unable to distinguish each other, or, they were one.

Pei Jinzhen followed Jing'an Hou out of the Chengming Palace, and when he arrived outside the palace, he slowed down.

"Do you have something to say?" Jing Anhou turned his head to look at her.

Pei Jinzhen came out with Jing'anhou, firstly, he wanted to avoid the emperor, and secondly, he really had something to ask Jing'anhou.

"I wonder if my father has any news of the time?" It's been so long, she hasn't heard from Yan Chong at all, but that bloody dream has been entangled almost every night, and she is really uneasy in her heart.

"Recently, Fengjing has sealed the city, and the news can't get out or get in. In the northwest, the latest battle report was more than 20 days ago. At that time, he had just defeated Somuyu outside the Huilu Pass, and presumably, everything must be fine. When Fengjing City is straightened out here, the news from his side should naturally come back. I can't say, it won't be long before he returns. ”
