356 It is better to be broken than to be whole
Qiu Jingxuan was speechless and silently let He Zhong retreat.
Thinking back to the last time, he was already very careful, or was discovered by the palace maid, although he finally left Pingshan smoothly, but he was startled, and it is unknown whether he can successfully approach the emperor and queen this time.
The funny thing is that he is neither going to assassinate nor to inquire about any news, and even he himself does not understand why he wants to look at the queen. And he couldn't forget the dazzling light that bloomed from his weak body in the middle of the night, as if it was just to confirm how strong his enemies were.
Qiu Jingxuan gathered his thoughts, and when he was about to return to the room, his cronies came in a hurry and said cautiously in the dark night: "Your Highness, Concubine Shugui Niangniang has sent a message to see you." ”
"Got it." Qiu Jingxuan frowned and agreed, thinking that if Concubine Shu knew that he was going to Pingshan, would she pay any other attention, but now, he could no longer completely obey Concubine Shu's orders, as the initial stepping stone, Concubine Shu had no use value.
Let's say that as soon as dawn broke the next day, Shen Zhe entered the emperor's tent with a bunch of twists and turns chased from the capital, and the others were already packing up and preparing to go back on the road. Entering the door and seeing the emperor dressing himself, Shen Zhe hurriedly put down the things in his hand and stepped forward to help, and was laughed at by Xiang Ye: "Do you think I am seventy or eighty?" ”
Shen Zhe said nervously, "You just sprained your waist." ”
Xiang Ye said: "Xu is bones are misaligned, this day has been bumpy, but it's good, now it doesn't hurt at all to be flexible." ”
Shen Zhe was stunned, and asked, "Is the emperor going to continue to Pingshan, or to return to Beijing?" ”
The emperor took the initiative to walk towards the pile of songs, quickly browsed through a few books, and said without raising his head: "Pingshan." ”
Shen Zhe seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and took another dragon robe and handed it to the emperor.
Xiang Ye took it and put it on flexibly, but asked his younger brother: "What are you doing and saying in Pingshan these days?" ”
Shen Zhe said: "Accompany Niangniang to play chess, escort her and Madame Bai to climb the mountain for a walk, invite the local opera troupe to relieve Madame Bai's boredom, and then play chess, if you meet with Niangniang, you will play a game of chess." ”
The emperor sighed: "She has become more and more fond of these grinding things in the past two years, but I can't sink my heart, there are always thousands of troops and horses galloping in my heart, whether it was in the past or now, how can I always be compared to her." ”
Shen Zhe didn't say a word, silently handed over the clothes and crown to the emperor on the side, and when he got dressed and walked out of the big tent together, the people outside couldn't help but be surprised to see that the emperor had recovered the spirit of the dragon horse, and the emperor quickly ordered them to move towards Pingshan at full speed.
In this way, the emperor arrived at the Pingshan Palace earlier than the agreed time, when Min'er and her mother returned from picking wild vegetables from the mountains, she wore light clothes that were easy to climb the mountain, and her head was wrapped in the headscarf that the local peasant women had given to their mother and daughter.
The blue background and white floral turban was wrapped in green silk, revealing a ruddy and white cheek, the apron stretched out the slender waist, the sleeves were neatly rolled up, and the snow-white slender wrist was holding a basket of emerald green wild vegetables.
Madame Bai was surprised to see the emperor coming, and hurriedly put down the basket to salute, but was stopped by Xiang Ye's arrow, and said with a smile: "Mother is here, are you still used to it?" ”
While raising his eyes to look at Min'er, it was the first time he saw Min'er dressed like this, his heart turned, and he unconsciously looked down at himself, fortunately, he survived the dilemma of middle-aged fortune and did not become an old man with a big belly and soft skin.
The emperor subconsciously straightened his back and said with a smile: "On the way, Shen Zhe said that the wild vegetables in Pingshan are very delicious. ”
Min'er circled around her husband and asked seriously, "Is the emperor's waist okay?" She brushed aside the green wild herbs, and hid a handful of green grass leaves under them, and said, "I have also found some herbs to heal you." ”
Hearing Min'er's voice, seeing that she was really beside her, the pressure on her body, the thousands of troops galloping in her heart, and the depression that could not be dispersed no matter what, seemed to disappear in an instant, the emperor grabbed her and breathed a long sigh of relief: "When I see you, everything is fine." ”
Min'er sneered: "I'm getting older, I can't be blind anymore, go and rest." ”
Saying that he handed over the wild vegetables and herbs to his mother, and helped the emperor to go to the dormitory, everyone retreated silently, only waiting for Mrs. Bai to cook the vegetables and smash those herbs, and then ordered the reliable palace maid to send them in, when the palace maid came out, Mrs. Bai quietly asked the emperor how she was now, and the palace maid smiled and said: "The mother is giving the emperor a massage, and she is talking well." ”
On this side, the emperor was already comfortably about to fall asleep, when suddenly a cold waist and a pungent breath rushed in, he suddenly woke up, and asked in disgust: "What are you going to do on my body?" ”
Min'er smiled: "Rotten grass roots, snakes, insects, rats and ants, not all folk ointments are like this. ”
The emperor showed an awkward expression, called Min'er to be happy, and then said: "You believe everything I say?" It's just a thing that invigorates blood and dissipates stasis, and it will be comfortable for a while, since you have come to Pingshan, you have to listen to me in everything, and it's good to be honest. ”
Xiang Ye muttered: "I'm not in Pingshan, won't I listen to you?" ”
Min'er glanced at him, continued to play with the plaster, and said softly: "But in other places, I don't dare to let you listen to me, you are the emperor after all." ”
"I don't want to hear that."
"So what do you want to hear?"
The room was quiet for a while, the plaster on the emperor's waist was ready, Min'er brought the meal prepared by his mother to his mouth, Xiang Ye was hooked by the aroma, and he didn't have much appetite on the way here, so he felt hungry at this time. A gust of wind swept the clouds, touched his waist comfortably, walked to the terrace overlooking the mountain scenery of Pingshan, and sighed: "If I can leave the country behind, I am willing to be with you here for a lifetime." ”
Min'er ate her own food and said nonchalantly: "If you don't come, I should go back, people will become depraved and lazy after being here for a long time, which is not good." ”
"Even if she's there, you're going back?" Xiang Ye asked.
"I'll go back, and she'll go." Min'er replied unceremoniously, leisurely eating the food in the bowl, "Even if you want us to live together, I won't compromise, I know you don't like to listen." ”
"Feng'er injured her leg while riding a horse, Hao'er eloped for Xia Chunyu, the two children's homes were in a mess, and she couldn't walk for a while." Xiang Ye said, "After all, it's her flesh and blood, you give her some more time, and during these times, I will come to Pingshan to accompany you." ”
Min'er put down the dishes and chopsticks and asked him, "If it weren't for the flashing waist, would you come, or continue to separate the two places, and see whose patience can't hold it first?" ”
Xiang Ye walked over and said, "Why do you say these words, you obviously know my mind best." ”
Min'er smiled and didn't speak, and her silence made the emperor not know what to do, so he sat down against her body and said, "What do you and I can't say well?" Having said that, it was you who wrote to me to bring Concubine Shu back to the palace, otherwise after so many years, I have mentioned a word, if you are unhappy about this, it is unreasonable for you. ”
"I guess whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, they must have fantasized about what the palace would be like if Concubine Shugui was also in the palace, and what would become of the children." Min'er said seriously, "So take this opportunity to ask the emperor to take Concubine Shu back to the palace, now that she is back, the children's affairs are a mess, has the emperor seen it?" ”
Xiang Ye bowed his head, and Min'er said again: "Of course, I arbitrarily think that Concubine Shu is incompetent and unfair to her, but the facts are in front of you, she left the child more than ten years ago, what do you want to get back now?" In the position of the weak, she can make thousands of pitiful appearances, and the world can be blinded, but I hope the emperor will not be easily soft-hearted. ”
Xiang Ye hurriedly said: "When did I soften my heart, if you didn't want me to bring her back......"
Min'er said strongly: "Prevention is better than prevention." However, after a long circle, I actually have only one purpose, to do my best to protect my children before they are young. I guess that the emperor will want a bloody and combative heir, so that they can use the hard-won hardships of the country to maintain stability after a hundred years. Your Majesty, am I right? ”
Xiang Ye once suspected that Shen Zhe told Min'er what he said, but he also believed that Shen Zhe would not do this, it was Min'er who saw her heart too thoroughly, and she was in front of her, and she could never hide anything.
Min'er shook her head and said, "Maybe I'm not worthy of the emperor, I just hope that my child is safe and smooth." ”
The emperor was silent, Min'er was not aggressive, but ordered the palace maid to withdraw the meal, and personally brewed a pot of tea for the emperor to eliminate food and relieve greasy, and the two of them quietly listened to the movement of the tea tumbling, so quiet that it seemed to be out of the world.
When the fragrance of tea overflowed, Xiang Ye asked, "What should I do for you?" ”
Min'er said: "Send her back to her original place, cut off all contacts with the capital, closely monitor the people around Feng'er, and don't let the people around him lead him to the crooked path." Of course, he can fight for the throne in the world, he is the emperor's flesh and blood, but he doesn't want to go the wrong way, he doesn't fight for what should be argued, but comes to hurt my child. ”
A cup of hot tea was delivered to his hand, Xiang Ye watched the tea stalks floating in the water, and he asked in a low voice: "What if I let it go......"
Min'er's words are like blood: "I said a long time ago, that's your flesh and blood, your child, not mine." ”
Xiang Ye frowned tightly, he definitely had no interest in tasting tea, they had the biggest disagreement in the royal inheritance, and every time in the past, Min'er would eventually choose to compromise with him, but this time, I'm afraid it will be difficult.
The sky outside the house gradually darkened, and another day quickly disappeared into life, Min'er held the warm tea, looked at the gorgeous sunset, and said with a faint smile: "Maybe in the end, I will compromise with the emperor, I am afraid that when the time comes, I would rather be broken than broken." ”
The emperor was furious: "Why do you say it so seriously. ”
Min'er said: "Then why waste your future life in endless indecision?
