Chapter Seventy-Seven: Connecting Pulses (1)
Suddenly discolored, Shan Guo unconsciously loosened the strength of his hand, and it took a long time before he was shocked to speak: "How do you know...... No one should ...... this matter."
"At the border of the night, the other twenty brothers are okay now?"
As soon as the conversation changed, I looked straight at Shan Guo word by word: "Except for the fact that you have been promoted to the imperial guard since a few years ago, how are they now?" ”
The disbelief grew, and I sighed lightly, and met his violently shaken eyes: "Farewell for a few years...... Lingyue is finally back. ”
"Emperor Lingyue?!" blurted out, couldn't help but be a little louder, Shan was too busy to close his mouth tightly, and the suspicion between his eyebrows was unabated. I whispered: "Lingyue once said that if Lingyue can return to her hometown one day, you will come to answer it, and it can be regarded as a beginning and an end." Time flies, but I didn't expect that it was Lingyue who returned on her own. ”
He was stunned in place for a moment, and leaned over neatly: "Shan Guo has seen Emperor Lingyue!" ”
"Hurry up." Reaching out to help him up, I understood that he had a lot of doubts in his heart, and stroked his cheek: "There are a lot of things to do with face and identity, and it's a long story." If you want to know, I will find an opportunity to tell you more about it in the future. It's just that...... Lingyue's true identity, in the harem of Shu, and even the great Lianghong, only you know at this moment. I hope you will keep it a secret for me. ”
"Since it is the order of Emperor Lingyue, there is nothing to follow." Gongquan promised, but after a moment of hesitation, he still couldn't help but ask: "But ...... How did Emperor Lingyue know Shan Guo's real name? And how do you know where to live alone? ”
Looking at the sun, it was still early, and I said that this was not the place to speak after all, so I went back to the Mirror Flower Palace with the end of the song and the single pass. After the tea was served at the end of the song, Shi Li retreated, Shan Guo couldn't wait but it was inconvenient to say it clearly, I couldn't help but chuckle: "Lingyue was originally out of the night, but then she was brought to Hu Ru by the king of Hu Ru Pingzhou, have you ever heard of it?" ”
It was in Huru that Lingyue met General Guo Chuan. General Guo Chuan and Lingyue said, "Your two brothers were separated by war in Huru more than 20 years ago. For twenty years, General Guo Chuan has spared no effort to find his brother Guo Shan. Later, when I received your letter, General Guo Chuan was on the side. He recognized your handwriting at a glance, and then compared it with the scars on the corners of his eyes, and shed tears on the spot, glad that you survived the disaster. ”
"When I was separated from my brother, I went to Lianghong, and I was fortunate to be adopted by my mother." Shan Guo is nostalgic: "If I hadn't met my mother, I would have lived to this day too early." Therefore, it is natural that he can't give up his mother and return to Hu Ru. ”
He bowed his head gratefully: "Thank you Emperor Lingyue for making my two brothers communicate again." ”
"Lingyue is just doing her best, raising her hands." I paused, "But ......"
"Emperor Lingyue Yi changed her face and returned to Lianghong, is she going to do great things?" Thinking that I was embarrassed by this, Shan Guo preemptively struck, and I was slightly surprised: "Shan Guo was originally a person from Hu Ru, and then went to Lianghong, serving the court of Zhongshu." If it is said that it is the heart of the country and the meaning of patriotism, there is no position alone. It's just that I don't understand, why is Emperor Lingyue like this? ”
Although he laughs at himself and has no firm position, he is really righteous and thin-spirited. For I have given him help, I will not be exposed to it alone, but I will not be helped unless I am fully persuaded by him.
I was silent for a long time, relatively speechless to Shan Guo, and finally spoke up for a long time, stopping him from wanting to leave: "You ask me why I know where your family lives...... It's because I saw your mother a year ago. ”
"Mother?" Strange rhetorical question, Shan Guo thought about it and said: "A year ago, it was rumored that Emperor Liang Honglingyue was in Huru, and then died in the early spring of this year. Could it be that at that time, Emperor Lingyue would have arrived at Lianghong as early as Shu? ”
Opening and closing my lips, I could only shake my head silently, carefully considering how to recount this painful memory that I didn't want to mention: "Lingyue was not in Hu Ru at that time, but she was not in Zhongshu either, but she was already in Lianghong...... Western Wilderness. ”
His brows never loosened from beginning to end, and he was silent, just listening to me continue: "Lingyue originally had no plan to go to the Western Wilderness. But it was told that the plague was spreading in the western wilderness, and the barren land was afraid of being a hell on earth. Lingyue's ten imperial brothers were demoted to concubines by the emperor a few years ago, and Lingyue was worried about the safety of the ten imperial brothers, so she temporarily decided to rush to the Western Wilderness to help the medical officer sent by Zhongshu to treat the sick. ”
“…… It was there that Lingyue met her mother. ”
Before I could react, I slowly took out the wooden plaque engraved with the word "pass" from my arms. His pupils shrank sharply, and he didn't care about the number of courtesies, and snatched the wooden card with a single hand, stroking the handwriting on it, trembling clearly.
I looked away, and I couldn't bear to look at him behind him: "A year ago, the emperor went out of the palace to parade through the long alley of Zhongshu. Due to the ineffective communication of the officials on duty, the people living in the long alley were late to greet them. The emperor was furious, thinking that they deliberately offended the power of heaven and did not respect the saints, so he ...... Distribute all the people in Changxiang to the West Wilderness...... For hard labor. ”
"When Lingyue and Hu Ru, the king of Pingzhou and others rushed to the territory of Lianghong, the medical officer of Zhongshu was still on the way to the Western Wilderness slowly, leisurely. After that, Lingyue and the others reached the Western Wilderness at the fastest speed...... But it's too late to be cured. When Lingyue and the king of Pingzhou were taking care of the sick, they were called by the eldest mother, who told Lingyue that although her son was not biological, he was very filial and very competitive, and he had to enter the palace as an official. When the officers and soldiers went to the long alley to arrest people, the eldest lady insisted that she lived alone, so as to avoid the disaster of her son sitting together. When she saw Lingyue's clothes, she decided that I was the person of the end of Shu, so she asked me to find her son under the locust tree in the long lane of the end of Shu for her and tell him...... Mother is very good, no need to worry about ......"
Lingyue asked the eldest lady for the name of her son, and the eldest lady gave me this wooden plaque. The strange coincidence of fate turned out to be this. The eldest mother's adopted son is actually alone with you. ”
Gritted his teeth tightly, but he couldn't hide the sobbing that came out of his throat. Shan Guo clutched the wooden card, his eyes were scarlet, his fists were clenched, and his green tendons were bursting up. The bottom of my eyes was sour, I lowered my head to hide it, and I couldn't hold back my trembling with a long sigh: "It has been nearly five years since Lingyue left Lianghong as a hostage. In the past five years, although I have not said it explicitly, I really yearn for and look forward to a home where I can live in peace of mind. Lianghong is the mother country of Lingyue, if it is not a last resort, how can it be overturned with his own hands. The tragic situation of the Western Wilderness in that year is still recalled, vivid, and unforgettable in this life. ”
"Just because you didn't take over the car is a big disrespectful crime, just because you say a little more is a rebellion, just because you know the truth, you touch the scales...... In such a dark world, where the grass and trees are all soldiers, and they are stealing their lives, what kind of great cause did the people of Lianghong have to bear? Disasters fall from the sky, but are these really unavoidable natural disasters? Ling Yue has personally tasted the pain of having a home, and she also knows that this move is just a mayfly shaking the tree. However, even if there is no hope, there is always a fight. Even if you have to change the slightest, you can finally be worthy of the promise of the old people who were in the Western Wilderness, worthy of their righteous sacrifices, and worthy of the innocent souls who have died so far. ”
"That's why Lingyue returned." I took a deep breath, looked at Shan Guo who finally couldn't help crying, and sighed long: "Qingqing Ling is on the cypress, Lei Lei is in the middle of the stream." In the world of life, suddenly like a traveler. Today, Lingyue returned the wooden plaque to its original owner, which can be regarded as fulfilling the last wish of the eldest mother, so that the eldest mother and the single guard can be reunited, and the soul will rest in peace. ”
The heart-rending crying gradually stopped, and he turned his head solemnly with blurred tears in his eyes, looked at me, and suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud. Taken aback, I hurriedly got up to help, but he resolutely refused: "Emperor Lingyue gave Shan Guo's kindness, and Shan Guo will never forget." …… Mother...... My mother has gone...... There is no reward for passing alone. Emperor Lingyue has any orders, and she will go to the soup and fire alone, and she will not give up! ”
As he spoke, he bowed his head. In my hurry, I simply squatted on my knees, tried my best to stop his movements, and sighed: "Whether it is the recommendation to the emperor at the beginning of the month, or taking care of the eldest mother in the Western Wilderness, it is not to seek your service. I tell you who I really am, and I do have considerations, but I will never drag you into the water unless I have to. ”
As I got up, I hugged my fists again to thank him, and I pressed his folded hands: "You can understand and support Yu Lingyue, Lingyue is already grateful." Let alone...... Lingyue failed to save her mother's life after all. ”
"With Emperor Lingyue as a person, my mother must be peaceful and happy when she leaves." His eyes were red, and Shan Guo showed a smile of relief, but he looked at the figure walking around the window and looked at him vigilantly: "But Shan Guo still has something to understand, I don't know if I can ask Emperor Lingyue for an answer." ”
"You're asking about the end of the song?" I followed his gaze and looked out: "She doesn't know that Pan Ye Yijing is Liang Hong Lingyue." ”
"Xu is single-minded, or the heart of a villain is the belly of a gentleman. When he heard that Emperor Lingyue was robbed by the king of Pingzhou by Hu Ru, although he was a little worried, he felt that Emperor Lingyue would definitely be able to use his own wisdom to save the day. Shan Guo was full of thought that the girl at the end of the song was loyal and would definitely be with Emperor Lingyue and never give up. Who knows, but when I arrived at Lianghong in front of the big Honglu in the night, I saw the girl at the end of the song. Looking at what she was dressed at the time, she was obviously quite powerful. I don't know how to do it, and then the big Honglu left the end of the night, but the girl stayed in the palace. Shan Guo asked the girl at the end of the song several times about the safety of Emperor Lingyue at that time, but the girl at the end of the song always ......"
"Well, no more talk." At the right time, I sighed and said, "At the end of the song, she ...... There should be their own difficulties. Now that I am the Emperor Ji Yijing of the Night, the past events related to Emperor Liang Hong Lingyue will be put aside for the time being, and they will be written off. ”
I really didn't want to think about it anymore, and I turned my head to see the sun growing outside the window, and I wanted to stay alone to eat in the Mirror Flower Palace, but I had to act carefully because of the identity barrier, and finally gave up. Therefore, for lunch, I only ate some jujube mud cake and crystal winter melon dumplings, slept for half an hour and rested, and then packed up and went to find Xiao Wangshu as promised.
She was still waiting for me in front of the flower garden where she had been yesterday. Seeing my figure, Xiao Wangshu took the lead to greet the general, took my hands and said: "This morning, Wangshu heard that yesterday Emperor Yijing executed the lady and aunt in charge of the Mirror Flower Palace?" ”
"Disposition, not execution." I sighed and looked around: "I know that Aunt Ci was originally from the Xianglu Palace. She deceived people so much that if I turned a blind eye, I would not be thought to be a submissive person, so I simply gave a small admonition to set an example. I originally planned to recall her from the Huanyi Bureau in a few days, but who knew that she would ......"
"It must be because Wang Guifei has a ghost in her heart, and she is afraid that Aunt Ci will shake out her ugly things, so she will cut the grass and eradicate the roots." Xiao Wangshu bit his lip and became slightly anxious: "It's just that this matter, like thousands of things before, everyone knows who did it, but on the bright side, it has nothing to do with the Xianglu Palace, and the spearhead is completely directed at Emperor Yijing." How good is that? ”
