How did your father die?

Chen closed his eyes and lay on the pillow mattress in a trance.

"Mother, mother."

The small body staggered through the curtain and climbed onto the bed.

The woman on the bed held out her hand with a sickly smile.

"Xue Niang, where did you go?" She asked softly, coughing several times as she said this.

"Mother, eat bean buns." The little girl handed half of the cake in her hand to the woman's mouth.

The woman took a bite and smiled and praised that it was delicious.

"What the queen mother gave me, I only gave it to one person." The girl said with a milky voice and a little smugness.

The smile on the woman's face faded.

"Xue Niang, don't eat her things in the future." She said, holding the child's soft wrist, "They killed your father, don't eat their food. ”

The pastry in the girl's hand fell to the ground.

"Mother, mother. Don't die ... ”

The girl who woke up from the nightmare let out a wail, and a pair of hands reached over in time to gently patter her.

"Xue Niang is not afraid, Xue Niang is not afraid." A soft female voice brushed by.

The girl was groggy at the concerned face of the woman in front of her.

The palace was not empty at night, a few floor lamps flickered, and the staccato sound of a soft female voice came from the window lattice.

“。。 Now that her mother is gone, the child's family is bewitched by people to say a word or two that she doesn't like to hear, what does she know at such a young age? How is it disobedience? What are you angry about..."

“… How her father died, others don't know, don't we know? ”

The girl lying in the middle of the room reached out to cover her mouth, swallowed back the breath that had reached her throat, and hugged the quilt into a ball.

Chen's hand grabbed the corner of his clothes, and he only felt that he couldn't breathe in his heart.

This breath has been pressing on her heart ever since. I can't spit it out.

"I understand those big truths, but there are some things in this world that just don't make sense." The old lady of Deqing ignored the Chen family's strange appearance, she let out a sigh and said lightly, "The winner is the king, and the loser is the coward, and their Great Zhou Emperor clan should no longer exist." ”

"Yes, if you lose, you lose, and it's not that you can't afford to lose." Chen spoke, lying still, "But." There is nothing wrong with killing one's father. ”

"That's right, that's right." The old lady of Deqing nodded and said. looked at Chen, "What is wrong is that I recognized the wrong enemy and the wrong benefactor." ”

She sneered and laughed when she said this, a little tired. Then he rested his feet on the kang and leaned against the other side.

"Xue Niang, how did our Chen family's current favor come about?" She said.

A faint smile appeared on Chen's lips, she didn't speak, and the old lady of Deqing didn't let her speak.

"Xue Niang, you think it's because you Changfang did something wrong. It is the remnants of the previous dynasty, so His Majesty lifted the West Chen and pressed the East Chen, so we are glorious. Did you get it by stepping on your father's dignity? The old lady Deqing continued.

She smiled as well.

"You think your father died trying to save Emperor Renzong Jing, but have you ever seen the bodies of your father and Emperor Jing?" The old lady of Deqing said, and lowered her voice when she said this.

Chen's expression finally fluctuated, and her breathing was short.

"Everyone said that your father died to save Emperor Jing, have you ever seen the rescued person pierced with a long sword?" The old lady of Deqing said slowly.

What the?

Chan sat up abruptly. The blank and godless eyes looked in the direction of the old lady of Deqing.

"Do you think that Emperor Taizu wanted to kill Emperor Jing, and your father died to protect Emperor Jing?" The old lady of Deqing continued. "Wrong, your father does want to protect a person, but it is definitely not Emperor Jing, he knows that the dragon boat must not dock, this world is no longer the world of the Great Zhou, rather than embarrass Emperor Taizu, rather than let others do this, he would rather him do it! He's happy to do that too! Do it willingly! ”

Chen gasped for breath and reached out to grasp the placket of his clothes, his bloodless face had begun to turn blue.

"Your father didn't die for Emperor Renzongjing, not for their Great Zhou, but for himself, this path was chosen by himself, no one forced him, and no one harmed him, on the contrary, he killed a lot of people." The old lady of Deqing sighed lightly and said, "For his death, some people feel guilty, some people secretly hate, some people are sad, some people sneer, some people are bent on revenge, and some people are bent on hate, but he died cleanly." ”

Chan shook his head.

"No, no, liar." She said in a trembling voice.

"You see, as I said, you are not sure what we say, you only believe what you believe." The old lady of Deqing sneered and said, "Why are you called Xue?" ”

Chen was stunned, and Qi Yue was also stunned.

This topic...

"There is snow to know the beauty of plums." The old lady of Deqing turned her head to look out the window, and a plum tree grew crookedly.

What do you mean?

Qi Yue looked dazed, but when he saw that Chen was stunned for a moment, he suddenly laughed.

"Ha, ha." She laughed dryly, closed her eyes abruptly, and fell back heavily.

Qi Yue hurriedly stepped forward in fright, shaking her and shouting.

"Snow Lady, Snow Lady."

The young man's cool voice sounded in his ears.

"It's a nice name, and the person who named you must like you." He said with a smile.

The bright smile of the boy was reflected in the clear water.

Chen Xue lowered her head, not knowing whether her legs hurt or she was shy, and she didn't dare to move.

"Your girl went back to call someone, you can't soak in the water like this, come, I'll help you to sit on it first." The boy said.

A slender hand reached out in front of his eyes.

Chen Xue lowered her head.

"You're Chen Qing's daughter, right?" A young man's voice came from overhead, "I heard what your girl said." ”

Chen Xue was stunned for a moment, raised her head slightly, and saw that the young man was as gorgeous as the sun.

"Your father is the benefactor of my family." The young man smiled, stretched out his hand again, and leaned over, "Please allow me to repay the favor." ”

No..

No...

You shouldn't repay the favor, you should take revenge...

Your Highness...

Chen Xue's tears rolled down.

"Is there anything else you want to say to me now?" The old lady of Deqing looked at her and asked, her eyes falling on Qi Yue for the second time.

Qi Yue was slightly hairy by her, and the hand stretched out to Chen involuntarily drooped.

"Is there anything else you want to explain to me?" The old lady of Deqing asked again, but her eyes were still looking at Qi Yue.

Qi Yue lowered her hand and looked at her. The expression was indifferent.

"Nope." Chen's weak voice rang out.

There was silence in the room.

"Xue Niang, I really regret taking you there at that time." The old lady of Deqing muttered, the whole person lost her momentum, slumped on the kang, and tears flowed out.

Chen smiled slightly.

"But..." She also muttered, "I don't regret it..." ”

Putting her hand carefully on the young man's arm, but it was slippery, scared and painful, and Chen Xue still fell crookedly, before she fell into the water again. The boy hugged her by the waist.

Chen Xue screamed in fright.

At that moment, the boy had already turned to the shore and put her down steadily.

"Your legs are so pretty." The boy said. He smiled brightly at her, turned around and left.

Chen Xue couldn't help but stand up.

"Your Highness," she shouted, looking at the fading back, "you wait for me. ”

Chen closed his eyes with a light smile on his lips. The hand holding it in the heart hung down softly, and a jade plaque fell from the hand with a click.

Qi Yue bit her lower lip, and tears began to fall.

Is that all?

Is it that simple?

This person, if he says no, it's gone...

"Qi Niangzi." The old lady of Deqing shouted in a hoarse voice.

Qi Yue looked at her.

"You are no longer the young lady of the Dingxi Hou Mansion, and you are not a relative of our Chen family, so. Xue Niang's funeral, you don't need it. The old lady of Deqing said in a dumb voice.

Qi Yue looked at her and nodded. He looked at Chan again.

"You don't have to knock your head, Mrs. Chang has the grace of regeneration to Xue Niang, and you have kindness to Mrs. Chang, she can't afford your courtesy." The old lady of Deqing said, "You." Let's go. ”

Qi Yue looked at the Chen family who seemed to be asleep, and saw her for the first time in a trance. The sick woman on the chaise longue instantly showed joy and concern from the bottom of her heart, and stretched out her hand to herself.

It's really affectionate, but it's not aligned with Yueniang.

Good bye.

Qi Yue turned around and walked out, and the mourning of the old lady Deqing behind him sounded, and there were maids and servants running by, crying and shouting, holding the clothes that had been prepared, and the funeral cloth began to hang up.

Qi Yue walked out of the door, and the door of Chen's house continued to close, isolating everything inside.

Three days later, the King of Julu gave the emperor and the queen mother another confession and thanksgiving, and then took Sima Xiaowang out of the palace.

"The doctors said they could move in a car." He said.

The Emperor did not speak.

"Lord Wang, did Qi Niangzi also say it?" Cai Zhong asked with some concern.

The Giant Deer King replied with a smile.

"I also invited Mrs. Qi to stay for a few days." He added.

The Emperor nodded.

"Take care of it, and come to the palace to get it if you lack anything." He said.

Shane, the king of the giant deer, withdrew.

When the emperor walked into Jingren Palace, the patients and the imperial doctors were gone, and only the disciples of the Qianjin Hall were cleaning up the beds and medicinal utensils, and the little eunuchs were cleaning up.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother said that she would not come to live here." Cai Zhong said.

"Just say you don't need to ask, you definitely won't come." The Emperor said, smiling slightly.

His gaze fell to the side and stopped.

Through the partition of the back door, the woman was seen sitting on the steps of the back door.

The footsteps didn't bring the woman back to her senses.

She held her hands on her bent knees and looked at the sky.

The Emperor looked up as well.

The sky was cloudless, and not even a bird flew by.

The emperor lowered his head and leaned over to look at the woman, and saw that her face was slightly haggard.

This probe finally brought Qi Yue back to his senses.

"Are you all packed?" She said casually, turned her head and saw that the emperor was startled, and hurriedly got up to salute.

"You, didn't you go?" The Emperor asked.

Today is the day when Chen's coffin leaves Beijing.

Qi Yue smiled, reached out and tucked the hanging hair behind his ear, and lowered his head.

"Oh." She said, "I won't go today, it's all relatives of the Chen family, and it's not convenient for me." ”

The Emperor hummed.

"These days, thanks to Your Majesty's care, Your Majesty and the ladies have been frightened, and the women are very ashamed, and they are leaving today." Qi Yue said again, saluting again.

"At the beginning, after seeing more and more, I got used to it." The Emperor said.

Thinking of the reaction of the women in the palace after this time, the emperor couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.

"How can you say this kind of thing, but once you've seen it, you're used to it." Qi Yue said with a smile, "Your Majesty, isn't there a saying that I wish there was dust in the medicine cabinet, and I don't want there to be sick people in the world, but the women would rather Your Majesty and the ladies never get used to it." ”

The Emperor smiled.

"How well this is said, it makes people feel that he is really a kind and gentle doctor." He said.

Qi Yue smiled and bowed his head to thank him.

"Your Majesty, although there is no need to return to Your Majesty for these things, the women still want to tell Your Majesty." She said, looking up.

"What were you looking at?" The emperor did not answer, but said, looking at the sky.

"Nothing." Qi Yue hurriedly replied, "Wait for Sima Xiao Wangye..."

"Is it because Mrs. Chen is gone, so she is uneasy?" The Emperor interrupted her again.

"Yes." Qi Yue said, looking at the emperor.

"Well, there's nothing to worry about." The emperor said, looking at the courtyard with his hands down.

The emperor's words are atmospheric.

Qi Yue smiled.

"It's not because of that." She said, "I think it's quite sudden and unexpected, in short, it's better to cherish people's lives." ”

The Emperor hummed and turned.

Qi Yue hurriedly shouted again.

"Your Majesty, please resign from the doctor's wife, I hope Your Majesty will approve it." She said, bowing her head.

The emperor turned his head to look at the short, bowed woman, his expression slightly grim.

Even though she knew that she had repeatedly interrupted what she was about to say, she still had to say it. (To be continued)
