460 The Dust Settles (4)

Seeing that the anger on the emperor's face faded a little, Qin Su continued: "Besides, Yanran is still raising by the concubine's side, if the concubine is not mistaken, Zhou Mingmu will not continue the string, he wants to leave the capital and garrison the border, but just to leave the sad place of the capital, why can't the saint fulfill him?" The concubine can be guaranteed with her life, and Zhou Mingmu will definitely not be a chaotic minister and thief.

As for Yeluhu, didn't he say in his letter, I hope that one day I can come to Dayue again, visit Qinglian's father and mother, according to the concubine's body, it is better to protect them, it is said that Qinglian and Dongxian's eldest brother Lin Xuan is still in the capital, why don't you reward him with an official and a half-position, let him stay in the capital, and do things for the imperial court. ”

In the future, even if Yeluhu goes back on his word and violates today's oath, Dayue still has Qinglian's relatives, and he doesn't believe that Yeluhu can really be so ruthless. Besides, Zhou Mingmu didn't just go to Wanwan to garrison the border, he had to pay close attention to Yueli's every move, and at the same time, he had to secretly train soldiers, so he had to be under Yeluhu's eyelids to deter him.

Hearing Qin Su say this, the emperor seemed to be a little loose, and she was not wrong to say so. In the early morning of the next day, the emperor summoned Zhou Mingmu and agreed to his idea of stationing at the border, but there was one condition, that is, the emperor wanted to persuade Lin Xuan to enter the court as an official. Zhou Mingmu was obviously quite surprised when he heard the news, and his low and hoarse voice sounded in the emperor's ears: "Back to the saint, Weichen must go all out in this matter, but his uncle may not be willing to stay in the capital, the two daughters under the knee of his father-in-law and mother-in-law have passed away, and only his uncle is alone, he is afraid that he wants to go back to serve his parents." ”

Of course, Lin Zhiping and the Wu family didn't know that their two daughters had passed away, and Lin Xuan's thoughts were also in line with human nature. The emperor's mind instantly came up with what Qin Su said yesterday, instead of sending someone to protect Lin Zhiping and the Wu family in secret, it was better to take them to the capital. The emperor walked to Zhou Mingmu's side with a smile, "Mingmu, your father-in-law and mother-in-law will be brought to the capital by you, so that they can enjoy Qingfu in the capital, just so that your mother-in-law will enter the palace to accompany Concubine Su to take care of Yanran." Why, don't you want your mother-in-law to take care of Yanran and train your daughter to be as good as Qinglian and Dongxian! ”

These words made Zhou Mingmu's face darken in an instant, and he didn't like someone mentioning Lin Dongxian in front of him, which reminded him of the sad past.

Zhou Mingmu was silent, and the emperor realized his gaffe, coughed dryly, pinched his shoulders and said heavily: "Mingmu, just do what I want." The unquestionable tone made Zhou Mingmu nod and answer, since the emperor said so, he could only do it as a courtier. Looking at the back of Zhou Mingmu who left gloomily, the emperor said in his heart, Zhou Mingmu, I know that I am sorry for you and Chengguogong, but I also have my last resort.

Zhou Mingmu went to garrison the border, and the saint must leave hostages in the capital, and Yanran alone is not enough. Yanran is a girl's family, and sooner or later she will get married, and Lin Xuan was left in the capital as an official, which is to contain Yeluhu and Zhou Mingmu. Of course, bringing Lin Xuan's father and mother to the capital, the more hostages there were, the more jealous Zhou Mingmu and Yeluhu felt in their hearts. Just now, a thought flashed through the emperor's mind, and the corners of his mouth slowly showed a smile that seemed to be a smile but not a smile.

The emperor gave the order, and Zhou Mingmu quickly returned to the house to tell Lin Xuan the emperor's plan. Lin Xuan's mouth was wide open, and he could stuff an egg into it, Zhou Mingmu looked out the window quietly in a daze, he was reluctant to leave Lin Xuan in the capital as an official, and to bring Lin Zhiping and the Wu family to the capital. He was very clear about the emperor's intentions, and to leave them in the capital was a distrust of him and Yeluhu.

As an emperor, he had to do this, he could understand it. Lin Xuan couldn't tell what it was like in her heart, in the past, the Wu family sent him to a private school and tried her best to let him study, obviously her family was not rich, she still blindly insisted on letting him get ahead, and studied hard. It is undeniable that he once had a firm belief in his mind, that is, he must study to get ahead, once he made Lin Zhiping and Wu happy in high school, and also allowed Lin Lian and Lin Dongxian to straighten their chests in their husband's house and be their strong backing.

But now the reality is a huge ridicule for Lin Xuan, and it is not as he wants at all, on the contrary, he has to rely on his two younger sisters. It was very easy to get the official position rewarded by the emperor, but it was so disgraceful, Lin Xuan was unwilling to accept it from the bottom of his heart.

"Zhou Mingmu, do you have to accept it? My father and mother have been in Qingping Town for half their lives, and they have brought them to the capital, I am worried that they have a lot of discomfort, and grandpa, uncle, and aunt are all in Qingping Town, I am afraid that they will not come to the capital. Lin Xuan regained his senses and said what was in his heart.

Zhou Mingmu hesitated for a moment, and said, "This must be accepted, and no one can disobey the will of the saints." Daddy and mother couldn't bear to let their grandfather and them come, so they let them come to the capital together. It just so happens that I want to be stationed at the border, so the Chengguo Mansion will ask you to watch it for me. When you're free, you can find a time to take Yanran back to the house to have a look. Yanran is the daughter of him and Dong Xian, every time she thinks of her well-behaved little appearance, Zhou Mingmu's heart is about to melt.

I wanted to be able to muster up the courage to walk in front of Qin Su and ask him to hug Yanran, who was his daughter. But the feet under his feet couldn't breathe, and he didn't have the courage to face Qin Su's accusations at all. I was full of guilt about Lin Dongxian's death, and I hoped to take this opportunity to leave the capital and garrison the border. Lin Xuan opened his mouth, looked at Zhou Mingmu with a solemn face, and patted him on the shoulder heavily, which was a silent agreement, and the two fell into silence.

Three days later, Zhou Mingmu set off for Qingping Town to pick up Lin Zhiping and Wu, and half a month later, he hurried back to the capital, replied to the emperor, and brought Wu's handwritten letter. The emperor looked at Wu's letter and was silent for a long time before he said slowly: "Zhou Mingmu, since they are willing to stay in Qingping Town, they are the only ones." However, Lin Xuan, I have already ordered him to report to the Ministry of Rites, hoping that he will not let me down and live up to the high hopes I have placed on him. And you, Zhou Mingmu, this farewell, I don't know when I will see you! ”

Looking at Zhou Mingmu's eyes were full of reluctance, mixed with a little complicated eyes, which Zhou Mingmu said he couldn't understand, he didn't have the heart to explore now, he just wanted to leave the capital as soon as possible. Qin Su hugged Yanran, who was smiling at her with wide eyes in her arms, pinched her red little face, and the milky fragrance on her body made Qin Su put her face on the back of her hand and kissed her a few bites.

Only then did he murmur contentedly: "Yanran, good boy, you are a blessed child, although this palace is not your mother, she will love you as her own daughter, and will not live up to your mother's entrustment." Yanran, you see the wind is blowing outside, your father is leaving the capital and going to garrison the border, he is a hero of Dayue, but unfortunately your mother is blessed, and she doesn't have this blessing to stay with him. Do you want to send off your father and let him hug you? ”

The child in her arms seemed to understand her words, and giggled several times, Qin Su pursed his lips and smiled, and ordered: "Wang Shou, go and prepare, go to the palace gate to send General Zhou." She wanted to hug Yanran to see off Zhou Mingmu, Zhou Mingmu was here for Da Yue, even if she had a grudge against Zhou Mingmu, Lin Dongxian would not appear in front of her alive, and called her sister affectionately.

When she dreamed back at midnight, Lin Dongxian's familiar and kind voice often sounded in her ears, and when she called her sister, she woke up with a smile, opened her eyes, and found that it was pitch black, and she was in a dream at all. When Qin Su appeared at the gate of the palace with Yan Ran in his arms, the emperor frowned and took off the cloak on his body, covered Yan Ran, and said with a slight reproach: "It's windy outside, how can you take her out, what if it's freezing." ”

After speaking, he realized that his tone was a little heavy, and he raised his head and explained: "Su'er, I am worried about Yanran, she is still young and can't stand the wind, and it will be you who will be distressed at that time." A smile crept up on Qin Su's face, and she was happy from the bottom of her heart that the emperor could care so much about Yanran. We came out to see off Zhou Mingmu, what's the matter, he's gone? Qin Su handed Yanran in his hand to the emperor and patiently explained.

The emperor raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a little sadness: "He just left, if I had known that you and Yanran were coming, I would have asked Zhou Mingmu to wait a little longer." They don't know when they will be able to meet? Speaking of which, Zhou Mingmu had only hugged Yanran once, thinking that this time he could let him hug Yanran with his own hands before Zhou Mingmu left the capital. It's a pity that he went away, so forget it, then they will see him off with Yanran in their arms, praying that he is safe and smooth at the border.

Ping Bohou sat in the study in a daze, the woman he captured was gone, and he still remembered her smile and asked him to inquire about Yeluhu's whereabouts. I didn't think much about it, I just thought she was curious, who made Yeluhu the regent of Yueli, a talent, and a dignified appearance, the key Qinglian used a pleading tone, and couldn't help but refuse Pingbohou.

Ping Bohou never dreamed that he and Wu's biological daughter would appear in front of him, this is God's favor for him. For so many years, he has never forgotten the Wu family in his heart, and sent countless people out to look for her, but he always fell into the sea, and slowly Ping Bohou gave up. He didn't know that the Xue family was doing a ghost behind this, and he wouldn't let him find the Wu family at all, just when he gave up, the appearance of Qinglian undoubtedly gave Ping Bohou a glimmer of hope that he would be able to see the Wu family again in this life.

Qinglian's words before leaving still echoed in his ears, the Wu family lived a very happy life, she got married and took his daughter with her. Pingbohou wanted to rush to Wu to question her, why didn't she come to him, but she wanted to marry and avoid him. The streets and alleys are now spreading, Yeluhu left the capital with his princess, I heard that his princess is the name of Da Yue, what is the specific name, the person sent out by Pingbohou to inquire has not yet come back to restore his life.

There was a vague bad feeling that it would be his biological daughter who had been taken back. At first, he wanted to treat her as the shadow of the Wu family, but he looked at her like this every day, and his heart felt much better. Three days later, the emperor summoned Ping Bohou in the imperial study, and looked at Ping Bohou, whose face was much older and had a lot of gray hair on his temples, the emperor didn't say a word, threw the letter on the bookcase in front of him, and said flatly: "You pick it up and take a look!" ”

If you can let Pingbohou leave the mansion and enter the palace, the emperor has something important to tell him, otherwise he will not let him out of the mansion. Wu Guowei was stationed on the border of Warat, the emperor could not cause his dissatisfaction and resistance, and Pingbohou had no place to use for the imperial court, and the court and government had permanent chiefs to assist them, so he should not be worried. Ping Bohou was slightly stunned, he knew that the emperor could not summon him to the palace for no reason, there must be something important.

The obedient bowed down and slowly picked up the letter that fell to the ground, and the familiar handwriting that caught his eye made Ping Bohou's hands holding the letter tremble, and he raised his head and shouted in surprise: "Holy Lord, this is impossible?" "What's impossible, just look down." The emperor curled up his palms, and his tone that was not salty or light made Ping Bohou subconsciously look down.

This is Wu's handwriting, the Wu family he has been looking for for so much, why did she write to the emperor, did she ask the emperor for help and wanted to return to the capital. Sheng, the concubine has never thought that she can still pick up a pen to write to you in her lifetime, think about our more than ten years, these years Dayue under the hard work of the saint, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the country rises and falls, and the concubine can enjoy the blessings of the saint even if she is in the countryside.

The concubine's greatest wish in this life is to stay in the countryside, and the children are right, Ming Mu told me that the saint does not have to blame himself, it is the children's own choice, and no one can interfere. As a mother, I am very sad that my two daughters have left me, but as Da Yue children, they can contribute to Da Yue, which is what they should do as Da Yue people. I believe that my father, queen and mother will also feel relieved if they know it, and Xuan'er is worried about all the troubles in the capital. The concubine will pray for Da Yue and the saint in the countryside, Wu Qianying.

Ping Bohou read the letter written by Wu himself, as if he had exhausted all his strength to read it, and the whole person sat on the ground. The emperor glanced at him lightly and scolded: "Useless things, now I know that it is good to read Qianying." Why couldn't you resist your mother marrying Qianying to enter the door, and Qianying has been living abroad for more than ten years, you can imagine what kind of life she lived. It's good for you to be your Pingbohou in the capital, Wu Ge Lao. ”

As soon as the words fell, the recital in the emperor's hand smashed on Ping Bohou's body, making him speechless at all. The emperor and the Wu family used to be friends and admired the Wu family very much, and for a while, he liked the Wu family very much and wanted to accept her as a concubine, but later felt that he was still wronged by the Wu family, so he slowly gave up this idea. Coupled with the fact that Ping Bohou and the Wu family are in love, why should he win the love of others, this is not a gentleman's doing.

"Ping Bohou, if I don't tell you, you will never know that Qianying is doing well now, so don't disturb her peaceful and happy life. And Qianying was pregnant when she left the capital, I sent Jinyiwei's people to Jiangnan to investigate, and later she gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, the girl is Yeluhu's princess Qinglian, and the boy is Lin Xuan, who has just been ordered by me to stay in the capital Ministry of Rites.

The reason why I tell you is not that you recognize them, but that I hope you can be ashamed, you are sorry for Qianying for so many years, children, you just need to know. I knew that Qianying didn't want to tell you at all, let alone see you, otherwise she wouldn't have just written to me. I hope you can stay in the house in the future to cultivate your self-cultivation. "Lin Xuan, he and the Wu family have a pair of children, and Ping Bohou, who left the palace, was ecstatic in his heart.
