When he arrived at Wuhou's dormitory, Wuhou had been rescued by the imperial doctor and fell asleep again.

"Wuhou will wake up in a while, Your Highness, let's get ready, Wuhou has run out of oil and will go at any time." The imperial physician wrote the prescription and said, Wei Poppy waved his hand, and the imperial physician retreated.

In the splendid hall, carved beams and painted buildings, high platforms in the distance layer upon layer of curtains, after the maids have withdrawn, the hall seems empty. Ruyi stood outside and looked at the thin old man on the couch in the distance, who had already been unrecognizable. Since Ruyi entered the palace, he has been waiting for an opportunity to know the truth of the year, but now things are wrong, and the person on the couch is no longer the king of life and death, but an old man who is about to die.

After a while, Wuhou gradually woke up, his spirit was much better, and he was able to sit up and lean on the brocade quilt, Wuhou looked at his son on the couch, and asked him to get up. The father and son talked for a long time, and Ruyi stood outside and did not approach, nor did he listen to their conversation, but just fell into his own thoughts.

It wasn't until Wei Poppy came out and shook Ruyi's hand that Ruyi came to his senses. "Go in, my father is still awake." Wei Poppy let go of Ruyi and turned around and went out.

Seeing that there was no movement outside for a long time, Wuhou shouted, "Someone." "Go inward.

Wei Wuhou looked at the girl who was approaching step by step, and asked in horror, "Yue'er? No, no, you're not Yue'er, Yue'er is dead. Then he trembled in fear and crawled into the couch.

The girl did not speak, and continued to walk inside, but each step seemed very heavy.

Wu Hou gradually quieted down, and shrank in the corner, "You are really Yue'er, you are here to pick me up, right?" I'm going to die! As he spoke, two lines of tears flowed down his wrinkled face.

"Yue'er, don't blame my brother for being ruthless. Back then, the State of Qi coerced and lured, coerced and coaxed each other with troops, and lured each other by cutting the city, and I had no choice! Wu Hou said with a sigh of relief.

"How many cities?" The girl's cold voice echoed in the hall.

"Three." Wu Hou said tremblingly.

"So many lives are worth only three cities?"

"When Wu Qi left, he changed the law in Chu to make Chu quickly strong and threatened Wei, and Wei needed to recuperate. can't withstand the big war, so you can only slowly try to figure it out. I can't help it! Wu Hou trembled and gasped.

"It's a good one, I can't help it." The girl's sharp eyes approached a little closer.

"Yue'er, listen to me, I didn't know that their plan was to burn down the palace, they said that as long as Tian Yinqi died, they would give me three cities, and promise not to send troops for five years. I didn't mean to kill you! "Wu Hou is already in a state of madness.

The girl looked at Wu Hou angrily, "When you dream back at midnight, will you feel uneasy?" ”

"Yue'er, I was wrong, don't kill me." Wuhou kept whispering frantically.

The girl looked at Wu Hou indifferently for a while, "I won't kill you, I won't become a person like you, and there will be heavenly ways to punish you." After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the hall.

Wei Poppy has been silently following Ruyi since Ruyi came out, and unconsciously walked to the back garden of Taihu Lake, the willow branches swayed gently, flying all over the sky, like the snow in April, but there was no weight of snow flying lightly and drifting into the distance.

At this moment, Wei Poppy felt that Ruyi was like this flying flotsam, and he was about to fly into the distance, but he couldn't catch it at all.

"I'm sorry, Ruyi." Wei Poppy said softly, his voice full of apology.

Ruyi looked at Wei Poppy blankly for a while before he reacted, "What are you sorry for." ”

"But he's my father after all." A pun intended.

"You're you, he's him." Ruyi said softly.

*

In 370 BC (the 25th year of Marquis Wu), Marquis Wei of Wei collapsed, and his second son Wei Chuan competed for the throne with Wei Gang, and Zhao and Korea participated in the abolition of Wei.

Wuhou mourned the whole country, but the Wei capital Anyi was surging.

There has been a curfew on the street for the past few days, Hu Yong was dressed in plain clothes, with a filial piety belt around his waist, and hurriedly walked through the dark street market and entered an inconspicuous house.

"The situation is so tense, why did you come here at this time?" The people in the room said with some dissatisfaction.

"Second Highness, you better leave quickly." Hu Yong also said with some eagerness.

"What's going on?" Wei Shu sat in the center of the room in filial piety clothes.

"His Royal Highness has already made a move against me, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it here, now Anyi City is in chaos, it seems that the forbidden army is tightly guarded, but in fact, the troops are empty, if His Royal Highness goes to Zhao State to rescue troops now, it's not better to raise troops to attack it." Hu Yong analyzed with an anxious expression.

Wei slowly pondered for a moment and said, "Let me think about it." "Second Highness, what else do you want? Don't miss the opportunity and come again. Hu Yong shouted eagerly.

Wei Xuan glanced at Hu Yong coldly, "I have my own measure, you go back first." ”

Wei Xuan looked at Hu Yong's figure disappearing into the night, and began to think in his heart, when Wu Ming let him come back, he said that Zhao Guo's condition for supporting him was to cut half of the land to Zhao Guo. It's just that in that case, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Wei to make a comeback. This is the next policy, and he is now pinning his hopes on Gongsun Xin to persuade Han Yihou. Gongsun Xin asked him to wait here for news when he left, and there has been no news yet. He didn't want to act rashly yet.

The night grew darker and darker, and there was not a single star in the dark night sky.

Hu Yong couldn't help but shiver when he walked down the street, his ears were full of whirring winds, and he had some bad premonitions in his heart, thinking that he would escape from Wei tomorrow and leave the place of right and wrong, so he hurried along the remote path to his home.

A team of Praetorian Guards walked through the streets in front, Hu Yong carefully avoided the Praetorian Guards, and when he finally arrived at the door, he found that there were many guards patrolling the surrounding streets, and the surrounding houses were all residences of various scholars and officials, and it seemed that His Royal Highness had already monitored them.

When Hu Yong was in a dilemma, he only heard a sneer behind him, "Master Hu, why don't you go home yet?" I saw Pang Juan leading a team of guards standing behind him. I'm afraid that he has been followed when he leaves the house, and he may even know the hiding place of His Second Highness, but now he can't care so much.

Hu Yong stiffened his head and replied: "Huge man, it's really hard to patrol so late." Pang Juan smiled, "I can be more relaxed with a few sneaky Xiaoxiao." ”

Hu Yong still has luck, "It's better for a huge number of people to go to the cold house to rest." "I've been walking all night, so let's go down and rest with Master Hu." Saying that, Pang Juan waved his hand at the Praetorian Guard, "Take it away." ”

Pang Juan returned to the palace to recover his life, and found Wei Poppy on the stargazing platform, which is the commanding height of the palace. The scenery is really good, but this is a forbidden place in the palace, and ordinary people can't come up.

However, there are no stars in the night sky tonight, it is pitch black, I don't know how His Highness will come here, Pang Juan didn't think deeply, stepped forward and saluted, and said respectfully: "Go back to Your Highness." Hu Yong has been arrested. His Royal Highness is really like a god. "Some of the recent layouts, Pang Juan has long been convinced of His Highness.

Wei Poppy didn't speak, his eyes looked at a certain palace in the palace city. The fierce night wind stirred the clothes and rattled, but in the whirring wind, there was a faint melodious sound of the piano, sometimes whispering shallow words like lingering love words, sometimes passionate like high-spirited warriors, sometimes lofty like the sea and the sky.

After a while, Wei Poppy said in a low voice: "Pang Juan, how do you say you can keep someone?" ”

Pang Juan didn't think about it and said, "Unscrupulous means." ”

Wei Poppy smiled softly, if he could keep her by any means, he would have tied her to his side a long time ago, but unscrupulous means would only make her escape further, she was like the wind at her fingertips that could never be caught, so she could only wait for her to stop by her side. After getting along these days, Wei Pop has not been tempted, but Ruyi has maintained just the right distance, both close and not ambiguous. It really just seems to treat him as a close cousin.

The powerlessness in Wei Pop's heart became deeper and deeper, he wanted this country mostly for her, but she only cared about his country. Wei Poppy was depressed but couldn't tell anyone.

"Let's go, let's go back." Wei Poppy said and took the lead to walk under the stargazing platform. Pang Juan looked at Wei Poppy's figure gradually melting into the night, and inexplicably felt that the figure was very lonely.

Pang Juan shook his head, how can he describe a proud king in the spring breeze, it must be that the night is too dark, and he is dazzled and wrong. Pang Juan chased after Wei Poppy for a few steps and left.

The old attendant guarding the stargazing platform saw that they were gone, hurriedly dropped the lock, looked up at the sky and whispered, "It's going to change." Then he hobbled towards his porter

Spring thunder rolls in the night, and a long-awaited spring rain is long overdue. The spring rain is as precious as oil, and the new green that has been hidden in the winter quickly sprouts and pulls branches, and the eyes are full of greenery.

Wei Poppy took advantage of the convenience of guarding the capital and began to prepare for the succession ceremony. The various matters related to the wedding with the princess of Qin are also prepared by the ceremonial officials, and they plan to complete the marriage during the three-month period of filial piety.

"My cousin is getting married, why do you want to tailor it for me?" Ruyi stood at the table and asked while measuring the size by the palace maid, while looking at Wei Poppy, who was sitting at the table leisurely drinking tea and eating snacks.

Wei Poppy said casually: "Why do you have to have a few new clothes to watch the ceremony." Otherwise, it will be a loss of face for me. ”

Ruyi wanted to say something, the palace maid motioned for Ruyi to turn around and measure the size of her back, Wei Poppy raised her head and stared at Ruyi's back intently, with a deep meaning hidden between her eyebrows. When Ruyi turned around, Wei Poppy casually lowered his head and drank water and ate snacks.

After measuring the size, the two of them talked for a while, Wei Xuan had been secretly monitored by them, and it had been quite safe in the past few days. Gongsun Xin will also return to Wei in the near future.

"The big war is coming, I won't say anything more, and I have something to say to you when the victory comes." Wei Poppy looked at Ruyi before leaving, and said seriously.

"Cousin is so sure of victory?" Ruyi asked with a smile. "I believe in you." Wei Poppy said without hesitation.

"Then I will first wish my cousin triumph with tea instead of wine today, and then we will drink happily when we are victorious." Ruyi heroically raised the tea bowl and drank it all. Wei Poppy also raised his glass and drank it all. The two looked at each other and smiled.

After Wei Pop left, Ruyi thought carefully about the details of the plan again, and there was nothing missing, so he called Xia He to clean up the tea bowl.

There was a communication from the little palace maid outside, "Miss An, Mrs. Lin asks to see you outside." ”

Ruyi looked at Xia He with a confused face and said, "Who is Mrs. Lin?" ”

Xia He also shook his head in confusion, "I don't know either." ”

"Biography." Ruyi had to bite the bullet and say.
