Chapter 308: The wine is warm and cold
The person in front of him was actually Xu Neishi.
There was no little chamberlain behind him, and he sat alone and half on the ground. He couldn't stand up, but he still had a mahogany suitcase firmly in his hand. The cold wind blew the snow on the ground. Wan Wan found that it was only this night, and Xu Neishou seemed to be old for more than ten years.
Wan Wan's appearance is much different from a year ago, ordinary people can't recognize her, but she often dangles in front of Emperor Yan Sheng, and Xu Neishou is familiar with her. With just a slight lift of his eyes, he recognized who the palace maid in front of him was.
A character like him, no matter how surprised he is in his heart, he can not miss a single thing on his face. Xu Neishou handed the box to Wan Wan, and said in a voice that was no different from Fang Cai: "Take it for me." β
Wan Wan saw that it was Xu Nei, and his behavior was clearly to cover up for himself, so he accepted the hostage thoughts. Wan Wan stepped forward to take the box and picked up Xu Nei.
Xu Neishou shook his head and sighed: "It's really old, it's useless." Help me in. β
Wan Wan lowered her head and said "yes", and then carried Xu Nei to the mausoleum.
There were many people in the mausoleum who were cleaning and tidying up, and they all leaned over to greet Xu Nei when they saw Xu Nei come in. Xu Neishou didn't say much, waved his hand, and signaled that they didn't need to be polite, just do what they had to do.
In the box of Xu Nei's servant was placed some incense cakes and utensils, as well as other trivial things. From the tomb to the tomb, he changed incense cakes and utensils along the way. Wan Wan hung her head silently, Xu Neishou needed to take something, so she opened the suitcase and forward.
When he arrived in the tomb, Xu Neishou waved his hand to call everyone inside to withdraw, and he personally rolled up his sleeves to wipe and clean. Wan Wan also rolled up her sleeves and took tools to carefully clean the tomb.
Xu Neishou was slightly stunned when he saw her actions, and after looking at her fixedly, he seemed to understand in his heart. He didn't say anything, lowered his head and continued to wipe carefully.
The two of them silently cleaned this huge tomb. Xu Neishou took a short break, took out the remaining items from the suitcase, and arranged them on the coffin with his own hands.
At this time, the burial items had not yet been put in, and the place he had chosen was still empty.
After arranging those objects properly, Xu Nei sighed slowly: "These are what the officials like." You can't show it when you're born, but you have to take it with you when you return to heaven. β
After saying that, he stood silently for a moment, and then walked out of the mausoleum with Wan Wan. As soon as he came out, a small official came forward and bowed to greet him, and then said very attentively: "It's noon, please let the senior official move and use some soup and rice." β
Xu Nei said: "Bring it to this mausoleum." Leave this child alone, and let me stay here quietly for a while. β
The little official answered, and within a while, he brought people soup, rice, vegetarian wine, and a few charcoal basins, and set them up one by one in front of the mausoleum.
With the words of the waiter, everyone was happy to go back and enjoy the hot food in the warm house and take a break. The silence quickly fell silent, leaving only Wan Wan and Xu Nei.
Xu Neishou took off the brocade cushion on the low stool and put it on the side of Xiao Ji, and said, "If you are wronged, you will take a break." β
Wan Wan did not prevaricate politely, and sat down on the brocade cushion after saying thank you. opened his mouth and asked, "Does Xu Daguan know how the official family died?" β
Xu Neishou didn't answer immediately, he reached out and picked up the soup bowl and then lifted the wine jug. The vegetarian wine was ready-made and warm, and he poured a bowl full of it and handed it to Wan Wan and said, "Drink some to warm up." β
After Wan Wan took the bowl, he said again: "The way the official family returns to heaven is the same as that of the Empress Yuan back then. β
Wan Wan listened to it. As everyone knows, Empress Yuan Fengxian died of illness. Although the official family is not in good health, he is not seriously ill, how can he die of illness overnight when he was fine yesterday?
Seeing the doubts on her face, Xu Nei said again: "In the past, the Ming general arrest knew, and there were a few people in this court who knew. The claim that Empress Yuan died of illness was nothing more than a cover-up for the scandal in the palace. β
Speaking of this, Xu Nei's voice became more and more sluggish, "That scandal was framed on the queen mother." Empress Yuan committed suicide in anger and ended her life with a short sword. β
With the vegetarian wine in her stomach, Wan Wan felt that her body began to warm up, but her heart gradually became cold. She vaguely felt that last night's events were not as simple as she had imagined.
The cold wind was blowing, and the small charcoal basin with warm soup and rice was bursting out from time to time.
Xu Neishou poured himself a full cup of vegetarian wine, and after taking two sips, he said, "You don't have to track it down, the official family is ...... I think that's good. β
Wan Wan was silent and said: "It has been ascertained that there is not only one King of Jin who forced the palace, but also a King of Qin who pretended to save the driver, but in fact, the praying mantis catches the cicada and the yellow finch is behind. β
Xu Neishou looked at Wan Wan for a moment, but then asked: "The one who is a father kills the one who is a mother, what should the person who is a son do?" β
He sighed and said, "The official family once said that as an emperor, he feels worthy of it. But as a husband, as a father, and as a man, he felt ashamed and shameless.
Over the years, the body of the official family has not been as good as it has been for a while, and it has been more than a moment for a while, thinking about those people and things in the past, and the more I think about it, the more ashamed I feel.
In terms of character, His Royal Highness King Qin would not do such a thing as forcing the palace to rebel. In terms of the situation, there was no need for him to do so.
Since he did it, he even knew about the old things back then.
At that time, the official family personally forced the Yuan Empress Niangniang to die for the stability of this country, made the plan to make the old general Feng Lao recurrence, and set up a bureau to let the three generals of the Feng family die on the battlefield, and now His Royal Highness the King of Qin is forcing the palace, which is nothing more than to seek justice for the Feng family and the Empress Yuan.
But how can he ask for it? β
Xu Nei drank the remnants of the wine in the cup, his eyes were slightly red, and his voice became a little trembling when he spoke again, "The official family can only do this." In this way, he personally repaid the shame in his heart, so as not to embarrass His Royal Highness King Qin. β
Xu Neishou wept and said: "It's actually best to leave the official family like this." It's better than going to see the queen mother with that guilt. β
Listening to Xu Neishi's long words, Wan Wan's heart suddenly fell into the ice lake, and mixed flavors stirred up in the cold. As soon as she craned her neck, she poured the bowl of wine down her throat, and when she lowered her head, two warm liquids slipped from her eyes and dripped onto the back of her hand, turning into a cold in an instant.
She has a shallow view of the cause and effect of life and death, even if she sighs a lot to Emperor Yansheng, she will not cry because of this. She was distressedβdistressed herself.
If Feng Qingcheng was simply seeking the throne for King Qin, the current matter would not make her feel so sad.
He hid from her not only about the court, but also from his thoughts, injuries, and evils...... What he hid from her was his true emotions. How embarrassing and ridiculous it was for her to treat him so with all her heart, and to tell him stupidly that she was willing to share anything with him.
He never believed her.
They were never really close.
