Huo Ran's assassination caused great turmoil in the government and the opposition.

In the past two years, almost all the attention has been focused on him.

From the initial agricultural machinery, to the later opening of the imperial examination, the sending of troops to open up the territory, and the recent killing of Buddha, all have the shadow of Huo Ran.

Everyone thought that with His Majesty's trust in Zuo Xiang, he would be able to shine for decades, but such an accident happened.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion.

There are speculations that the right minister or the general is dissatisfied with the left minister's overbearing revenge; It is also said to be retribution.

When he got the results of the investigation, the emperor angrily pushed it to the imperial table.

"These monks are really not good things!"

The woman was the wife of a monk, and the two secretly became married, and when the monk died, the woman came to assassinate Huo Ran.

"She has relatives? Grab them all! The Emperor asked menacingly.

Mr. Zhong replied cautiously: "The woman is not any other relative. She was an orphan since she was a child, and she was saved and raised in the house by the monk, and now the monk is also dead. ”

The emperor's anger must be vented, otherwise it must be people around him who suffer, Chief Zhong knows this very well, he said equally angrily on the side: "Your Majesty, this woman is just a pampered and ignorant woman, where did she come from Even the imperial doctor said that it was a rare poison, this is a big problem?" ”

"Yes!" The emperor's spirits perked up: "Chief Loyalty, you are right to remind you!" ”

The Emperor walked around, his mind spinning at great speed.

"This matter must be strictly investigated, all the relatives of that monk, as well as the monks of the same temple, are arrested, and they are ordered to be interrogated severely! Don't miss a little possibility. "The emperor is very angry, and if he dares to assassinate the left minister in the street today because he is dissatisfied, will he do the same in the future?

With the emperor's order, the loyal manager left in a hurry.

"Alas, I only hope that Zuo Xiangji will wake up today!" The little eunuchs came in and quietly cleaned up the table that had been pushed to the table, and the emperor walked to the hospital again.

"Your Majesty—" Just as he was about to enter the door, he saw a imperial doctor running out with a surprised face.

"Is it ——??" The emperor felt a burst of ecstasy in his heart.

"Zuo Xiang is awake!" Really.

The emperor was overjoyed: "What is the state of the left minister?" ”

The imperial physician followed behind the emperor and walked quickly towards Huo Ran's room.

"Zuo Xiang, in good condition, is drinking porridge. Presumably it will be restored soon. ”

"Hanwen!" As soon as the emperor entered the door, he saw Huo Ran half-leaning on the bed, dressed in a snow-white middle coat, the corners of his mouth were slightly curved, and he looked in his direction with a smile; looked at Huo Ran's empty left arm again, and couldn't help but feel a sour in his heart.

Huo Ran put down the bowl in his hand and said loudly: "Please forgive Weichen for being rude." ”

The emperor walked over and sat on the chair brought by the imperial doctor: "You and I are always monarchs and ministers, and we are also close friends, so naturally we don't have to see each other." ”

"How do you feel now?" The Emperor staggered his gaze, trying not to look at the wound.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, there are no other major problems except fatigue. According to the Imperial Doctor, I am still the first person to wake up from that poison, but only an arm. Huo Ran explained the emperor lightly, "Exchange an arm for a life, I still earn it." ”

"Left Phase—" The Emperor's voice choked.

Huo Ran held the emperor's hand: "Your Majesty and I know each other well, I have been running around for the past two years, and I am also tired, so I just take this opportunity to rest." So Your Majesty needs no guilt. ”

"It's okay, you're weak, I'll leave later." The emperor turned his head to look at the eunuchs accompanying him: "Remember to prepare more good medicinal materials for Zuo Xiang." ”

After some exchanges, a little eunuch ran to remind the emperor to deal with it, and the emperor had to come in a hurry and leave in a hurry.

"Xiangye, are you going to rest?" The imperial doctor looked at Huo Ran's tired face and asked carefully.

Huo Ran nodded: "Help me lie down, you guys go down!" ”

The imperial doctor helped Huo Ran's body to lie back on the bed, covered the quilt and turned to leave.

After confirming that there was no one in the house, Huo Ran opened his eyes, touched his empty left arm, and sighed in his heart.

"What a hatred a mother is willing to let her unborn child be buried with!"

At that time, cutting off his arm was the most correct choice, Huo Ran did not regret it now, but it was inevitable to lose.

Thinking of the conversation with the emperor just now, Huo Ran's heart was cold: "The emperor is a creature who really can't be emotional. ”

easily agreed to his request to leave, and it was obvious that the emperor had the intention of giving up on him, on the one hand, because of the regulations of the court, people with physical disabilities were not allowed to be officials, and on the other hand, because he had been in the limelight in the past two years, and there was a faint momentum of "knowing the left minister but not knowing Your Majesty".

Getting along with the emperor has always been a profound science.

You can't understand everything, you can't understand everything.

Huo Ran has been careful to suppress his ability, so as not to be too jealous of the emperor. But he has been worried about his future, the emperor has no heirs, and he is temporarily stabilized by his own luck, but what if Huo Ran guessed wrong? It is likely that it is not only themselves who will die!

It's a good time to step away.

Bai Suzhen can't get out, he can be regarded as famous, and he should return to his hometown!

Sure enough, as Huo Ran guessed, two months later, when he recovered, the emperor sent General Qiu to send Huo Ran back to his hometown.

"Zuo Xiang—" General Qiu's expression was complicated.

Huo Ran smiled indifferently: "General Qiu doesn't have to worry about Miss Qingguan." I have begged Your Majesty to take good care of the Qingguan girl. Also, I'm not a left-sided minister now, just call me Hanwen. ”

General Qiu glared: "My family Qingguan is naturally very good!" I'm worried about you! ”

Looking at the farewell pavilion where there was no one else except for a group of soldiers, and then thinking of the Zuo Xiangfu that was full of flowers for two months, General Qiu felt very uncomfortable.

He has seen the left phase of the stars holding the moon, the high-spirited left phase, and the left phase of the ascending echo, such a bleak left phase is something he never imagined.

Looking at General Qiu's sympathetic eyes, Huo Ran understood what he meant.

"Those false glories, don't care, I don't care." Huo Ran patted General Qiu on the shoulder: "Three years ago, I came to the capital without anything, and if you look at these imperial gifts now, it is already a great harvest." ”

General Qiu wanted to comfort Huo Ran, but he didn't expect to be comforted by Huo Ran instead.

"Zuo Xiang, I have always disobeyed you, but today I am completely convinced!" General Qiu hugged the circle: "Brother Hanwen, let's go!" ”

Huo Ran got into the carriage: "Let's go!" ”

"Wait, Xiangye-"

"Xiangye—"

A shout came from behind the carriage, Huo Ran lifted the curtains, looked back, and his eyes couldn't help but red-

The shopkeepers, roadside stall owners, and old farmers in the fields whom he had just met when he first arrived in the capital were chasing after him with a few donkey carts.

"All these years, it's worth it!" A warm current surged in Huo Ran's heart.
