Before the queen mother left, she took him and his father by the hand and said that she would not leave them, and that she would incarnate into the plum tree to accompany them and guard them.

The emperor looked at the plum tree in front of Qin Moyu, a little dazed, and said faintly after a long time: "Ah Yu is right, your queen mother has always been with us, looking at us, we can't let your queen mother worry." ”

"I'm fine, don't worry about Ah Yu!" The emperor couldn't see the gloom on Qin Moyu's face, raised his hand and patted the hand he was holding on his arm, comforting him.

"Good! Ah Yu is not worried! Qin Moyu smiled and said easily.

The emperor also smiled: "They have all grown up, the little plum tree of the year has grown up, our Ah Yu has also grown up, my father is very happy, and your mother must be very happy!" ”

The emperor's tone also seemed to be very relaxed, but the melancholy in his eyes still leaked his emotions.

The father and son walked quietly in the plum garden for a long time, and both of them had a tacit understanding and only chatted about gossip.

There has always been only home here, no political affairs, and no conspiracies and strife.

After leaving the plum garden, he returned to the imperial study, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and sat down for a while, before the emperor slowly asked Qin Moyu: "Ah Yu came to the palace at this time for the affairs of Qingzhou and Yang County?"

"Exactly!" Qin Moyu sat up straight and said with a straight face.

"Just let it go! Since my father handed over these things to you, I won't interfere, but no matter how rebellious they are, after all, they are also your own brothers, and my father doesn't want your hands to be stained with their blood! The emperor was silent for a long time, and then said slowly with exhaustion.

The emperor's eyes were a little cloudy, and the tiredness and helplessness in them, as well as those self-blame, guilt and silence, had long covered up the bright and warm light that Qin Moyu had loved since childhood.

"......" Qin Moyu was silent.

He didn't know how to answer his father's words, his father seemed to be old, he couldn't bear to let his heart suffer more, he thought for a long time before he slowly spoke: "Erchen knows!" ”

He didn't use "Ah Yu" to call himself, he used "Erchen", the emperor nodded a little complicatedly, closed his eyes and leaned on the soft couch.

Qin Moyu looked at his father for a long time, and finally lowered his eyes, and stepped forward to cover the emperor with a thin blanket.

"Father, take a rest first! Ah Yu retired first! He bowed and bowed, and slowly turned to leave.

The emperor's eyelids, which were reclining on the soft couch, jumped almost imperceptibly, and he didn't speak, as if he was asleep.

Qin Moyu walked out of the imperial study, and Gonggong Tian, who was guarding the door, hurriedly bowed forward: "Your Highness has come out, and the old slave has arranged for someone to send His Highness out." ”

"No, I want to walk by myself for a while, my father may be a little tired, so Grandpa Tian should go first to serve my father!" Qin Moyu stretched out his hand to stop Father-in-law Tian, who was about to shout, glanced inside and said, "Also, my father-in-law's daily diet and sleep still hope that my father-in-law will pay more attention!" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, the old slave will do his best!"

"Then there is Father-in-law Lao! The king will go first! After Qin Moyu finished speaking, he raised his feet and went out.

"Your Highness, go slowly!" Behind him was the congratulatory voice of Father-in-law Tian.

He walked slowly along the bluestone road in the palace alone, and his heart was mixed.

When the queen mother died, his father was grief-stricken, he was at a loss for what to do, the queen mother was gone, and his father, who loved him the most on weekdays, completely forgot him.

The imperial grandmother didn't like him and his mother, and the other concubines and princes in the harem didn't like their mother and son even more.

At that time, if it weren't for the fact that his grandmother came into the palace to pick him up and went to Yanfu, I was afraid that he would also go with his mother!

Later, it took a long time for my father to slowly come out of the shadow of his mother's death.

But at that time, the court was already a bit of a mess, and the harem was completely under the control of the Queen Mother.

The emperor personally went to Yan Mansion to pick him up and return to the palace, but Yan Xiangye refused to let him, only saying that he would send him into the palace every two or three days to ask the emperor for peace.

He didn't want to go back to the palace at that time, so the emperor silently returned to the palace alone.

It wasn't until he was a little older that he knew what the dark emotions in his father's eyes were when he told his father that he didn't want to go back to the palace with him!

In addition to letting Yan Zhe eat and sleep with him, he also picked up Lu Ming, who was the same age as him and was extremely lively, from Yongzhou to come over and practice martial arts with them.

When he was older, he learned that the queen mother did not really die of illness back then.

......

When Qin Moyu returned to the Rui Wang's Mansion, he had already put away those complicated emotions.

As soon as they entered the mansion, someone returned to Yan Zhe and waited in the study with Lu Ming.

Yan Zhe came over at this time, Qin Moyu didn't know what was going on with him, but it was just right that he came over, and he walked to the study in three steps and two steps.

"Why did Ah Zhe come here at this time?"

"Fei Fei and Frost have returned from Yiyuan." Yan Zhe leaned at him and said slowly.

"Did something happen?" Qin Moyu's hand that was pouring tea for himself stopped, and his brows furrowed.

"What else could there be? It's not Qin Yanxue's girl who has nothing to find fault with. Lu understood Qin Moyu's glance, took the teacup he had poured and put down, and took a sip gently.

"What the hell is going on?" Qin Moyu glanced at Lu Ming coldly, didn't bother to pay attention to him for the time being, and asked Yan Zhe to arrive.

"It's nothing, Shuang'er didn't suffer, but Qin Yanxue's girl's intentions are really a little sinister." Seeing that Qin Moyu was in a hurry, Yan Zhe was less anxious, and he didn't go directly to the topic.

"Oh! Is that so? Do you have anything else to do? If I can't go back without you, I'm about to go out, so I won't greet you! Qin Moyu was silent for a while, and while lifting the teapot on the table again to pour tea for himself, he chased away the guests.

"Huh?" Obviously, Yan Zhe didn't understand his words.

"What? Do you have anything else to do? Qin Moyu first slowly tasted two sips of tea, and then asked slowly and methodically.

"You really don't want to know?" Yan Zhe confirmed.

"I'm just going to Xia Mansion, just ask Yan'er in person! I guess she'll be clearer than you say. Qin Moyu glanced at Yan Zhe and said unhurriedly.

"......" Yan Zhe was speechless.

However, Qin Moyu's words were not finished yet, and he continued.

"Didn't you just say that Shuang'er is fine, since Shuang'er is fine, I naturally don't miss the time on the road from the palace to the Xia mansion."

"It's just that I don't know if Fei Fei knew that she specially entrusted you to pass the word, but your words turned out like this, I don't know if she would trust you as a brother?"

What else can Yan Zhe say?

He subconsciously glanced at Lu Ming, and sure enough, he saw the words "sympathy for the same disease" in his eyes.

Yan Zhe glared at Qin Moyu fiercely a few times, and reluctantly recounted what happened in Yiyuan according to Yan Feifei's original words.
