Chapter 411: Slapped in the face
Yun Zixiao and Concubine Li were startled by Huang Fuhao's roar, and their minds also sobered up. Seeing that Huang Fuhao's face was extremely dark, the two of them didn't dare to say anything more.
"Your Majesty, the ministers have something to do." Shui Ziru spoke, breaking the oppressive atmosphere at the moment.
Huang Fuhao was slightly stunned, and said with some surprise: "Aiqing, please speak." ”
"Your Majesty, my husband and wife are not good for keeping the array map this time, and it is difficult to escape the blame, although the emperor is merciful and does not blame the two of us, but Weichen is not happy in his heart. Therefore, Weichen and his wife want to resign and retire, and hope that the emperor will be fulfilled. ”
"What!" As soon as these words came out, Huang Fuhao was so shocked that he almost fell off the chair.
Shui Ziru and Shen Yuexin are both talented generals, they are not very old, and they still have a long time to work for Dongli. At this time, the resignation was definitely a great loss to the imperial court.
"It's great that two generals have such an understanding. The emperor will definitely agree, isn't it the emperor? As soon as she heard that Shui Ziru and his wife took the initiative to resign, Concubine Li was overjoyed, forgetting the previous warning from Huang Fuhao, and couldn't help but say quickly.
"Shut up! If you dare to say one more word, I will have your mouth sewn up! Huang Fuhao was so angry that the blood rushed straight to his head, if it weren't for the current occasion, he would have to give Concubine Li a few slaps.
Huang Fuhao felt that he was about to be mad by this stupid woman, and couldn't help but ask himself in his heart: Why did he get so obsessed with such a big-chested and brainless woman before?
Huang Fuhao took a few deep breaths, knowing that now was not the time to be angry, he coughed lightly twice, and there was a hint of flattery in his voice, "The two Aiqing are the pillars of the country, and now it is my plan to employ people, if you lose the two Aiqing, it will definitely be a loss for the entire Dongli Kingdom." The two Aiqing should dispel the idea of resigning. ”
"Your Majesty, the two of us have made up our minds, and I ask the emperor to fulfill it."
Huang Fuhao saw that Shui Ziru and his wife were resolute, and he was even more panicked, and said with a sad face: "Two Aiqing, if you have the idea of resigning because of the theft of the array map, then I might as well tell you the truth, in fact, the array map was indeed stolen by the Ouchi guards. That one...... I'm just kidding you...... Just kidding......"
Huangfu Hao finished with a smile, at this moment he didn't care how bad the reason he made up behind him was, how embarrassing it was to say such things, he just wanted to keep people and didn't want them to resign.
Shui Ziru and his wife have always conquered everything and won every battle, the reason why he can sit on the throne and sit back and relax is also thanks to the two of them, if he lets these two go, unless he feels that this throne is enough.
Shui Ziru and Shen Yuexin glanced at each other and said to Huang Fuhao: "Since the layout diagram was taken by the emperor, Weichen is relieved." ”
After hearing this, Huang Fuhao was a little pleased. Answering this way, does it mean that he doesn't plan to resign?
Huang Fuhao just flashed such a guess in his heart, and the next moment he heard Shui Ziru say: "Your Majesty, now that the country of Dongli is peaceful and the people are peaceful, and the four seas are peaceful, there is no need for the two of us to contribute." I ask the emperor to allow me and my wife to resign. ”
Huang Fuhao saw that Shui Ziru and his wife had made up their minds, and they had all the good things to say, but it was still to no avail, so he simply took out the emperor's prestige and said in a deep voice: "What if I insist on not allowing the two of you to resign?" Will you still disobey the will? ”
Shui Ningyan, who had never spoken, smiled at this time: "Your Majesty, the so-called gentleman is not strong, the emperor is the king of a country, he should be self-disciplined by his words and deeds, it is difficult for such a strong man, I'm afraid it is not the Ming Jun's doing, right?" ”
The words of the water condensation made Huang Fuhao's face a little red, seeing that it had reached the point where there was no maneuver, Huang Fuhao sighed, he could only accept such a cruel truth. At the same time, he hated Yun Zixiao who gave him ideas.
After returning to the palace, Yun Zixiao and Concubine Li naturally did not end well. Concubine Li was beaten into the cold palace, and although Yun Zixiao did not enter the cold palace, it was not much better.
Huang Fu Hao lost two generals at once, and the fault was all on Yun Zixiao's head, so Yun Zixiao was no longer treated by Huang Fu Hao. Of course, that's all for later.
West Pond Country, Pear Snow Palace. Although the building has long been empty, Duan Fusu still asks people to clean it every day, and no one is allowed to step into the Lixue Palace, and over time, the entire palace knows that the Lixue Palace is a forbidden place in the harem.
It is said that there was once a concubine who had just entered the palace who was being favored, and because she couldn't suppress the curiosity in her heart, she sneaked to the Lixue Palace, and was later found to have been beaten to death with a stick.
The death of that concubine added a touch of mystery to the Lixue Palace. Some people say that Duan Fusu raised a male pet in Lixue Palace; Some people say that there is a magical mural in the Lixue Temple, and the fairy painted in the evening will come out of the mural; Others said...... In short, there are many legends about the Pear Snow Palace.
And only Xiao Yunzi and a few palace maids in charge of cleaning know the secrets of the Lixue Palace. That is, on a wall of the Lixue Palace, there is a life-size woman, as beautiful as a peach and plum, beautiful as a fairy, a smile, lifelike, looking at it from afar, the woman seems to be about to fly down from the wall.
Every time Xiao Yunzi faced the mural, she couldn't help but let out a sigh. He knew that the woman in the painting was the queen mother he had served before, and the mural was painted by the emperor himself.
After the queen left the palace, the emperor would come to the Lixue Palace every once in a while, and he stayed for a long time every time he came. Later, the emperor painted a portrait of the queen on the wall. Over the years, there has been no news of the queen's mother, and the emperor has been seeing the painting and thinking about people, and this affection has moved him to tears when he sees it.
On this day, as soon as Xiao Yunzi finished routinely checking the cleaning of the palace maids, Duan Fusu staggered in from the outside, and before he approached Duan Fusu, Xiao Yunzi smelled a strong smell of wine.
In the past five years, Duan Fusu has often been drunk and returned to the Lixue Palace. Every time Duan Fusu came here, he didn't like to be present, so Xiao Yunzi retreated from everyone, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Duan Fusu, and said with concern: "Your Majesty, are you okay?" ”
Duan Fusu waved his hand and said, "It's okay, you go down." ”
"Yes, the minions are retired." Xiao Yunzi raised her eyebrows and stepped back in response.
Then, Duan Fusu staggered to the mural, his fingers caressed the person in the painting, and muttered over and over again, "Yan'er, Yan'er, why are you so ruthless, it's been five years, where have you been in the past five years?" Smoke, smoke, tell me how I can forget you......"
Duan Fusu looked at the person in the painting with drunken eyes, and vaguely felt that the corners of the lips of the person in the painting were raised, laughing at him for being stupid and laughing at him.
"Your Majesty......" Suddenly, a voice like a pearl sounded in the hall.
Duan Fusu's body was shocked, and when he followed the prestige, he saw the figure of Yu standing there.
"Yan'er, Yan'er, you're finally back, and I knew you would." Duan Fusu was overjoyed and hurriedly greeted him.
"Oh, Your Majesty, be careful." Duan Fusu's feet were unstable, and he stumbled and almost fell, but fortunately he was helped by Yun Rong in time.
"Yan'er, don't leave me, okay? Don't leave me again. ”
Duan Fusu hugged Yun Rong tightly into his arms, his strength was so great that he seemed to want to embed the other party in his body, and the two never separated from each other.
Duan Fusu buried his head on Yun Rong's shoulder, looking pitiful and helpless, at this moment he was no longer the domineering and noble emperor in the court, but an ordinary man with deep affection.
Yun Rong was a little out of breath by Duan Fusu's confinement, and her snort was full of Duan Fusu's good-smelling ambergris. At this moment, her heart was excited and happy, as well as sour.
His embrace was warm and solid, and she coveted his embrace, but she could only be reached by being a stand-in.
"Yan'er, Yan'er, don't leave me again, okay?" Duan Fusu nested on Yun Rong's shoulder, muttering constantly.
Yun Rong's heart suddenly rose with annoyance, why did she have to become a stand-in for that woman so that she could get close to him?
In the past five years, she has left the country of Wumeng, left her homeland, and stayed by this man's side without a name or point, hoping that one day she could move him and replace that woman's place in his heart. But it's been five years, and she has spent five years of her youth here, in exchange for his imminent departure.
She also thought about giving up, but she was unwilling. A woman's youth can have several five years. In order to stay by his side in Xichi Country, she and her father have fallen out, and now she is no longer a county lord, where can she go if she leaves here?
She is not that woman, she can achieve great things like a man, she is self-reliant, she is just a little woman, she wants to be with the man she loves, what is wrong with her?
A whirring sound from her shoulder interrupted Yun Rong's thoughts. Yun Rong helped the drunken Duan Fusu and walked towards the bed in the hall.
However, when her gaze inadvertently fell on the wall on the left, her body shuddered suddenly, and her eyes fixed on the mural.
The woman on the picture is captivating and eye-catching, and she is familiar with her face. At this moment, the strong sourness in her heart almost drowned her, and she suddenly hated the woman she had once regarded as her best friend.
She admits that she is jealous. She paid her youth for the emperor and poured out her heart and lungs for the emperor, but she didn't even have a place left in his heart, and that woman didn't pay anything, and even hurt him repeatedly, but she could make him never forget. He would rather spend his days in front of the cold mural than look at her as a living person.
Yun Rong suppressed her complicated thoughts, helped Duan Fusu to the bed with great effort, tucked the brocade quilt for Duan Fusu, and was just about to get up and leave, but Duan Fusu stretched out his arm and took her into his arms at once, and murmured: "Yan'er, don't leave me, don't leave my ......."
"Okay, I'm not leaving."
Even if it was a stand-in, even if she knew that a moth would fight the fire, she didn't mind, at this moment, she just wanted to be willful once and be his woman.
So, she whispered softly over and over again, her clothes faded, and the hibiscus tent was warm.
