Zhou Jing hugged it back and ...... for a long time The two hugged each other, recalling the bits and pieces of the year in their minds.

The first time I entered the palace, I looked at the elegant and handsome man on the dragon chair with some fear and shyness.

He looked at himself with a smile, "You're Jing'er, right?" It's been a long time since I've been in the palace and I've grown up a lot, and your sister has been waiting for you for a long time!" The voice was gentle, like a spring breeze.

The smile was as bright as the sun, and she felt warm like never before.

It's so sweet to remember the past, but it's all in the past, and it's never going to come back.

"I'm thirsty!" She whispered.

"I'll pour you water!" Li Yu let go of her and hurriedly stood up, willing to do anything for her.

walked to the table and poured a cup of tea, turned around to look, Zhou Jing was still smiling in place and looking at him unusually quiet.

His heart is warm, as long as the two of them can still be together, all humiliation is not important.

Bring the tea and hand it to her.

She didn't answer, just reached out and gently stroked his face, and said gently, "You deserve better...... Live well! ”

His heart shook, and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered.

Before he could speak, a stream of blood was already flowing from the corner of Zhou Jing's mouth.

She coughed twice, bleeding more.

"What's wrong? Jing'er, what's wrong with you? He hugged her in horror, his mind blank and he just kept asking and shouting.

Zhou Jing tried to look at him and wanted to speak, but the blood in his mouth gushed more, and she couldn't speak.

His eyes closed, and he collapsed into his arms.

A small jade bottle slipped from his hand.

Li Yu stopped shouting, fell to the ground with her in his arms, and looked at the bottles rolling on the ground.

This bottle has been held in her hand since the day she learned that Liu Jiyuan died.

I once asked her what was in the bottle, but she said that it was nothing, just that the bottle was beautiful.

Originally......

Li Yu laughed bitterly, trembling with laughter...... Inside is poison.

thought that after this long period of humiliation, she would not do stupid things again, thinking that such days were bitter enough.

But why is it that even she, God, wants to take it away!

He wailed and cried like a child.

……

A few days later, Zhao Ting received a report: Hou died of disobedience.

When Zhao Ting and Yun Moxi arrived at the mansion of the disobedient Hou, only two white lanterns were hung on the door of the mansion, and the guards who had been guarding in the past had already withdrawn.

There were many people, and no one came to mourn.

There are only two subordinates left in the mansion, and they are packing up and looking ready to leave.

The mourning hall rested in the hall with two coffins.

"Madame too?" Yun Moxi asked the maid who was cleaning up on the side.

"Yes!" The maid bowed down and replied with red eyes, "Madame died suddenly a few days ago, and the Hou Ye did not let her be buried and did not notify outsiders. He did not eat or drink, stayed in the room all day long, held the corpse, and did not let the slaves and maidservants in. After a few days, the slave couldn't help but go in to check, only to find that Master Hou also followed Madame! ”

Before the coffin was closed, Yun Moxi stretched out his head to take a look.

"Zhou Jing is poisoned! As for Li Yu, he should have died of grief, excessive hunger strike!" said to Zhao Ting.

The two of them only sighed regretfully.

The maid knelt on the ground and burned some paper.

"What is this?"

"These are some manuscripts on Hou Ye's desk, and the slave wants to burn them for Hou Ye to take away."

Yun Moxi took it and looked at it, and it was written on a piece of paper:

When is the spring flower and autumn moon, and how much do you know about the past?

Xiaolou had another east wind last night, so the country could not afford to look back at the moonlight.

The carved fence and jade masonry should still be there, but the face has changed.

How sad can you be? It is like a river flowing eastward.

"Keep it!" said to the maid, "It's a pity that such a good word is burned." ”

"Yes!"

The palace just came to greet him, and Zhao Guangyi issued a holy decree to commemorate and praise Li Yu's exploits.

But people know it, and no one really cares about their life or death.

Zhao Ting left some silver and arranged for people to properly bury Li Yu and Zhou Jing.

The two of them walked out of the Hou Mansion with infinite emotion, the emperor and queen who once glorified a country with glory were so desolate and sad after their deaths.

Those who pursue the glory and wealth of their lives are just a handful of loess in the end.

Fortunately, they still have each other, living painfully, but at least they have a companion when they die.

For them, death is not a bad thing, but a relief.

Zhao Ting couldn't help but clench Yun Moxi's hand, he had never regretted his choice, how could those clouds float by the void worthy of the company of his heart.

"Let's take a walk! I don't know how long we can see the streets of Bianjing! ”

Yun Moxi nodded silently.

ordered the carriage to drive back to the palace first, and pulled her down the street.

It's nightfall, but the pedestrians and bustle on the street haven't diminished.

Lights are lit up everywhere, the wine shop is the most lively, and the business in front of the song and dance studio is booming.

Many shops are not closed as soon as they used to.

All kinds of small businesses and jugglers also began to come out to set up stalls, and pedestrians came and went endlessly.

Along the way, I also passed several Yun family's businesses, all of which were still open to welcome customers.

At this time, Bianjing was much more prosperous than when the Great Song Dynasty was first built.

These are all thanks to the national policy at the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

Some of the concepts were also influenced by the Yun family's business, and Yun Moxi sorted out the collection of essays in the Ghost Valley and his grandfather to the imperial court.

Zhao Kuangyin thought it was true after seeing it.

Since then, the national policy is no longer blindly emphasizing military force and ignoring literature, and adopting an inclusive attitude towards business, because of prosperity, stability, and openness, all countries in the Western Regions are willing to come and do business.

This also contributed to the further prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty in recent years.

Fortunately, although Zhao Guangyi is not as talented as Zhao Kuangyin, he also knows how to use it, and still appoints talented courtiers and national policies that were reused during the Zhao Kuangyin period.

Therefore, the Great Song Dynasty was able to become a unified power.

Passing the Bianhe River, the two stood on the bridge.

Looking at the boats coming and going in the river, some are transporting goods, some are listening to small songs and singing poems, and some are singing and dancing.

The lights on both sides of the river are reflected on the river, and the golden waves are sparkling and rippling, and the scene is lively and peaceful.

I haven't seen such a calm in many years.

Both of them came from troubled times, and since the end of the Tang Dynasty, it has been turbulent, and the people of various countries have been in hardship.

However, the Great Song Dynasty ended decades of chaos and achieved reunification, and this scene has been present for more than ten years since its establishment.

"The people are stable and prosperous, at least we have done our best." Yun Moxi said with relief.

"Yes! Although the third brother is narrow-minded and paranoid in some aspects, fortunately, he can still know people and make good use of them in politics, and he is also a wise man. ”

"He can govern the Great Song Dynasty well, and it will not be in vain for you to fulfill his intentions in the first place."

Zhao Ting looked at her, "Actually, he is also fulfilling me." You're enough for this life. ”

"He has not summoned you for a while since he returned to Beijing, and I am afraid that he is still haunted by the capture of the Northern Han Dynasty. It's better to plan as early as possible. ”

"I know! There are many rumors in the army that there is no impermeable wall in the world, and there is His Majesty who was captured. It's more that I became the god of war on the battlefield, hehe......"

smiled helplessly, "These words must be uncomfortable in his ears, and he will even suspect that I deliberately leaked them." In this way, how can he sleep peacefully? ”
