Chapter 5, Section 30 The withered flowers
Until our ship left Hanyang, we did not see Liang Jingren again.
The boat crossed the Yangtze River and landed on the land of Xiangyang again. I also specially sent someone to pay respects to Liang's house in Xiangyang City, but there is still no news of Liang Jingren.
We had to leave Xiangyang in a daze.
I hope that after we leave, Liang Jingren and those people in Liu Village can return to their homes safely, and from then on guard their homeland and live a peaceful and peaceful life. On the bus back to Beijing, looking at the long road in front of me, my heart was heavy. When we go back this time, we don't know what kind of situation awaits us.
At least judging from the news from Beijing, where we are going back, there are a lot of troubles waiting for us Yunluo, and the drama of the struggle for power and profit in the court is in full swing. Also, the biggest headache for me is that I don't know what happened to my father's illness.
It's so confusing that the more I think about it, the more annoyed I become.
Taiya frowned all the way. Because his father's illness has not improved, he has not been able to take care of the government after so long, which shows that the illness is not optimistic.
All I could do was to hold his hand and gently say to him, "Don't think so much, anyway, the soldiers will come to block him, and the water will cover the earth, and there is no pass that cannot be passed." Whatever happens, let's just face it together. β
Tai immediately put away the frustration just now and nodded solemnly at me.
After this trip to Gangnam for disaster relief, I found that he was much more mature than before. He is no longer the person who just wants to play all day long and is indifferent to the affairs of the court. He is now aware of the responsibility on his shoulders and is consciously thinking about countermeasures to fulfill his mission.
Before our convoy arrived in Xinyang, I smiled and said to Tai, "The update is the fastest. That Yunluo must be in Xinyang Taishou Mansion again, waiting for us now. β
Tai said, "No, what is she doing?" β
I pinched his handsome face and said, "Of course, I'm waiting for you, a rabbit."
Alas. Marrying a husband is enough to be coveted, but he is still a beautiful man. It's no wonder that those bees and butterflies are desperately trying to pounce on the East Palace.
Tai frowned and thought for a while, then called Zhang Hong over and ordered, "If you explain, just say that it is my order, we will rush overnight today and will not stop in Xinyang." β
So we bypassed Xinyang. Hurry up and return to the capital.
But when we returned to the palace, we found that we couldn't hide from this Yunluo no matter what.
Because, under the single-handed planning of Empress Xiao Yang, Luo has been canonized as Liangdi because she is "pregnant with a child".
During the days when we were not in the capital, she had already moved into the East Palace in a grand manner, and lived in Yingcuixuan, the closest place to the East Palace.
But that's not what really angers us completely.
When Tai and I returned to the East Palace, we got out of the car. Immediately stunned by the scene in front of him, is this still our East Palace?
Could it be that during our absence, Luoyang was once captured by a strong enemy? The East Palace was once occupied and then vandalized? Otherwise. Why has it become so miserable and unrecognizable?
In the past, the flowers were full of flowers, and the bees surrounded the East Palace. Now there is not even a single flower! All the flowers were uprooted. The flower beds were replaced with grass, and the entire garden was leveled to stone floors.
Tai's face was gloomy and he asked, "What's going on?" Manager Zhang lowered his head and replied, "It was Yang Liangdi who asked him to pull it out." Because she couldn't smell pollen. β
He was so angry that he said sharply, "She can't smell pollen, so she can't come in." Who allowed her to touch my East Palace things? As the head of the East Palace, why don't you stop it? β
Mr. Zhang probably never got too angry, so he knelt down and said, "The queen sent someone to explain, saying that Liangdi is pregnant, and she must first ensure the safety of the emperor's heir, and these flowers will be pulled out first." At that time, the slave also repeatedly said that these flowers were liked by the two princesses, but Liangdi insisted on pulling them out. β
"What heir?" Too tight to ask.
This stopped Manager Zhang, and stammered, "Of course...... Of course, it's too much of your heir. β
Tai said with a pale face: "I'll go to my father." β
I stood aside and didn't squeak, and although I was also very angry, I unloaded a stone that weighed on my heart.
Because Yun Luo did go too far this time, she had completely aroused Taidi's disgust, and completely erased the little bit of affection left in his heart for herβthe family affection that arose because she was like his earth mother. Now Di Tai, there is only disgust for Yunluo in his heart.
At this moment, Xiaocui and the others came back with Meow Meow and Xiaoxiao. As soon as Meow Meow saw the dilapidated image of the courtyard, tears came out of her eyes, and she rushed over and squatted in front of her favorite flower bed, and began to cry.
It's so unbearable, I went over with me to pick up Meow and coax me for a long time. After finally coaxing the tears, Tai solemnly promised Meow Meow, "Meow Meow won't cry, my father will let people plant flowers soon." β
After that, he went to the emperor angrily.
After a long time, he returned to the Mingxia Hall with a gloomy face, and I asked him tentatively, "What did the emperor say?" β
He sat down in silence for a while before replying, "My father is very sick, and the queen has been at the bedside, and I have never had a chance to mention it." β
"What about the child in Yunluo's belly? Could it be that His Highness is going to let her be born as your imperial heir in the East Palace? β
Seeing that he was still silent, I asked again, "Are you still unbearable to tell the emperor, afraid that Yun Luo will not be able to step down if you tell the truth, you still plan to carry this black cauldron and clean up this mess for Yun Luo?" β
"No," he said in a very affirmative tone, "I wasn't going to clean up any mess for her, but I really didn't have a chance to say it." At that time, the queen had been sitting in front of her father's sickbed, and when I reported the situation in Jiangnan to my father, the queen repeatedly urged me that your father was very weak, so you can make a long story short. As a result, my father only asked about the situation in Jiangnan, and waved his hand and said that you have also worked hard all the way, go back and rest. What else do I want to say, the queen has already helped her father to close her eyes and lie down. β
I was silent. Obviously, Empress Xiao Yang deliberately stopped Tai and did not give him the opportunity to show the truth to the emperor.
During this time, "Er Yang" was able to dictate power, and she did it by pretending to be a ghost. But what about Sima Liang, the king of Runan? Could it be that it is also through Xiao Yang?
